Thrice Branded.

During a discussion in the House of
Representatives on Thursday last,
Secor Robson referred with sneer
to the deafness of w. Il. Robinson
Representative of the Second District
of New York. Mr.. Robinson was
absent from the House, at the time.
The next morning Mr.. Robinson rose
to personal explanation, and said:
81 acknowledge, Mr. Speaker, that
Providence has seen fit to afiict me. not ex-
actly with deafness, but with hardness of
hearing 1 know of only one gentleman
more to be pitied than |, and that is a GER
tain gentleman who has had fastened on his
head the charges of liar, thief, and perjur-
er, and was the only member who did not
hear them"
This terrible retort, which stamped
infamy on the forehead of the man
against whom it was directed, and
which was repeated for the third time
within few weeks, produced no visi-
BILE effect on Secor Robson
What must be the moral and the
political condition of a party that &C
cepts and honors as a leader man
who before the civilized world and in
presence of his associates has been
publicly denounced three times as a
common felon by respectable aud re
sponsible members of the House?
There was time in the life of the
Republican party when great and hu.
name principles inspired its action. If
a foul reproach like this had been fast.
ened on Republican leader he would
have been tried by drumhead court mar
tial without delay and whipped out of
camp at the tail of cart.
Not 80 now. This man, publicly de-
nounced as "thief, liar, and pcrjurer,"
is tolerated by the party because it is
known that he owns the Speaker, and
treats him as personal chartel; be-
cause he controls appropriations; be-
cause he is still powerful in the Navy +;
because he disposes of patronage; be.
cause he boasts of being loyal and
radical Republican; and because he is
rich with i'll gotten gains.-N Y. Sum

More Riotous Italians.

On Thursday there was trouble on
the new railroad near Jersey Mills.
Messrs Kane, Baker and Bachelor
drove out half mile from Jersey Mills
to pay off, for the month of June, a
body of one: hundred Italians. The CON
tractors had with them about $4,000,
and when they were on point of
commencing to pay out the Italians de
manded their pay up to the date.
This being refused a peculiar brigan-
dish whistle was given, when every
man knocked his pick from the handle
and rushed toward the contractors, who,
seeing their danger drove off to Jersey
Mills, where the Italians were paid for
the month of June. 1t is the intention
of Messrs. Baker, Bachelor and Kane
to pay these fellows off and get rid of
them by bringing into their places Hun
garians.

FIGURES THAT DO NOT LIE-TAXPAYERs
CAN UNDERSTAND THIS ARGUMENT.

The Republican party came into
power in this state in 1861, and the cost
to the state government then was S947,-
OIL ,S3, exclusive of interest and reduc-
tion of debt.
The Republican administration of
Governor Curtin, even with all his enor-
mously increased expenditures of war
and the highest imitation of values
known in this age, increased the state
expenditures to only 1851, ,4S6,67 in
1865.
In 1866 the Cameron machine en-
trenched itself in the Republican cita-
del and for fifteen years it has been su-
preme in every channel of Republican
power in the state. With it came reck-
less pro1igacy the creation of offices for
favorites the lavish waste of public
money to reward partisan henchmen,
and the absolute subordination of nte-
gritty and manhood to the cohesive
power of public plunder.
In 1870, after three years of machine
rule in the state, the annual expendi-
lures in time of peace, had grown TO
S2,22S, ,S7O,27, being an increase of ST.
2Sl l,O5S,44, over the expenses when
the party assumed power, and an in
crease Of $797, ,436,6O over the expendi-
lures under Gov. Curtin, with the ex-
traordinary demands of war to meet.
But the proiigacy of boss government
was not content with the expenditures
of 1870. The Auditor Generals re-
port shows that the cost of the state
government for 1880, including its share
for the Legislature, foots up the enor-
nous amount of $4,962, 1859, Being
more than the entire cost of the govern
ment in 1860, when the Republican
party first attained power
This expenditure does not embrace
either interest or principal of public
debt. 1t is simply the regular annual
expenditure of the state government.
There is legitimate increase in
schools and judiciary, made by the con.
stitution, but that is little more than
half "A million, and the other expendi
lures are mainly or wholly the creation
of machine Legislation.
The people of Pennsylvania have
lately been carefully reading and con
sdering the record made by Controller
Pattison in Philadelphia, and they have
learned that his entry into the control
lers office dated the beginning of the
practical reform that has changed the
city from 1925 tax rate and three
millions annual increase of debt, with
little or no Improvements, to n $l,05
tax rate, and annual surplus of mil
lion, and substantial improvements in
every department, and that is just the
sort of an administration they want in
Pennsylvania.

"The Koran commands us to resist

destroyed and the Jehad be preached

blow with which England strikes Egypt
will cause blood to flow through the
breadth of Asia and Africa, the respon.
sibility for which will be on the head
of England. Egypt is still READY to be
fast friends with England and keep her
road to India, but she must keep with
in the limits of her jurisdiction. Finally,
England may rest assured that we are
determined to die for our country"

Last week by accident, squib from
the Philadelphia Press on Mr.. Storm
OF Monroe county, found its way into
our columns without the comments
which we had intended to follow it.
Its point of complaint against Mr.
Storm was the common slaugy one
made against every public man who
does not go to extreme lengths in his
views upon taxing imports, namely, he
was free trader. Mr. Storm served
some years since in Congress with much
credit to himself and his district and
whenever occasion shall require, can
fully vindicate his votes while there.
AT present, he needs no defense against
the Press or any other Republican
journal, whether of the Stalwart or
Half breed persuasion.

Married to q Negro.
A YOUNG WHITE WOMAN ARRESTED FOR |
TAKING A SECOND HUSBAND
WmKEsBARRE. PA. July 2

WILKEsBARRE, Ia, July 20.
A good deal of excitement was
caused today in certain social circles
by the news of the arrest of q hand
some young white woman, not more
than twenty, on charge of bigamy,
her second husband being a big, buriy
negro, as black as night and one of the
most ignorant of his class. The charge
was made by the woman's mother.
About two years ago Anna Seibert
was wooed and won by well to do
mechanic, named Morgan, of this city.
Some few months since Morgan moved
to Pottsville, taking his wife with him.
The latter used to come here frequent
ly to see her mother, aud during these
visits she met and fell desperately in
love with the negro, who was a com
mon laborer in the employ of tar
roofer. The darkey's name is Sam
Taylor. He knew that the woman
was married, but on the 3rd of July he
induced her to go before colored
Methodist preacher in this city, named
Evans, who married them. 1t is be.
lieved that Evans was not aware of the
previous marriage of the woman.
When the matter came to the moth
ers knowledge she pleaded with her
daughter to leave her second husband
and return to her home. On her refu-
sal to do this promptly the mother had
her arrested'upon the charge of bigamy.
She was taken before Magistrate Bulk
ley, but before any proceedings were
had she repented and agreed to leave
the negro and go home with her mother.
The mother is nearly distracted, while
intense excitement exists among the
friends of the daughter, some swearing
Vengeance upon the negro for marrying
her. The girl is young, pretty and in
telligent, and it is said that she will 90
back to her colored husband at the first
opportunity.
