THE Republicans in Congress still
continue their dastardly raids upon
the legally elected Representatives
from the south. Last week they stole
the seat Of Mr.. Tillman Of South
Carolina, who was elected by majori-
ty of 10000, and gave it to negro
named Smalls, who had served term
i'll the penitentiary, and was repudia-
ted by majority of his race in the
election. This was a peculiar case of
party vandalism, one at which even
the conscience Of the Stalwart chair
man of the Committee on Elections
revolted in expressions Of its enormity,
although he succumbed TO the caucus
pressure and voted with his party to
throw conscience to the devil" Still
this poor negro penitentiary bird is to
be commisserated when we reflect that
he is to be associated for full session
Of Congress, to which he had no show
of election, with Robson and Keifer,
and those who follow their leadership.
This creditable representation of the
Republican in Congress, have now
probably completed their outrages for
the present session by depriving Mr..
Shelley, Of Alabama, of his seat. He
was contested by a man named Smith,
who died in Washington during the
pendency of the contest, and the most
they could do was to declare Mr..
Shelley's seat vacant. Mr.. Beltz-
hoover, of Pennsylvania, made the
speech in behalf of Mr.. Shelley, re-
viewing the case from legal stand
point, and citing at length from the
evidence to show that the witnesses
who testified for Smith were not only
ignorant in the extreme, but irrespon-
sible, and had fatty contradicted each
other. These outrages upon honest
representation also brought Governor
Curtin to his feet in an impassioned
speech addressed mainly to the Repub.
lieaus in protest of the disastrous
course they were pursuing, and the
eminent danger of revolution if con-
tinued. If it was decided to punish
the people of the south, he hoped the
Republicans had accomplished their
object and would stop right here. The
House was crowded while the Cover
nor spoke, and he was much applauded
by the Democrats.

THE Attorney General is equal to
the occasion. He furnishes an opin.
ion to justify "my dear Hubbell" in his

and maids of the Indian schools, for

The Next Governor.

Robert f. Pattison formally &C.
cepts the nomination in the following
terse letter, addressed to the committee
appointed by the State Committee to
notify him of his nomination as the
Democratic candidate for the Office of
Governor:
DEPARTMENT CITY CONTROLLER, PHILA-
DELpuIA, July "a, lSS2-GENTLEMEN: |
have just received your letter of July
2l, advising me of the action of the
democratic state convention. | accept
the nomination for governor, and if
chosen for the office by the pople | will
strive to perform its duties to their salts
faction. Respectfully yours,
ROBERT f. PATTIsoN.
Mr.. Pattison's letter Of acceptance
says the Times is a model of what such
Il letter should be. 1t is in leess than q
half dozen lines, but it says all that he
had to say and says it well. 81 accept
the nomination for Governor, and if
chosen for the Office by the people |
will strive to perform its duties to their
satisfaction" That is all yet therein
is a whole platform-honest govern
ment in the interest of the people.
The Governor of the State has little
to do with anything else than this.
Questions of national policy are not
within the range of his official duties,
and all present questions of State poll
cy are summed up in just the two
points clearly stated in this brief let
ter-the choice Of officers "by the peo-
ple," not by the machine, and the per-
iormance of official duties for their
satisfaction, not for the satisfaction of
bosses or party workers.
This is what Mr.. Pattison's candi-
dacy really represents. 1t was because
of his modest but unswerving and im-
partial discharge of his public duties
as Controller that he was nominated
for the greater office, and this simple,
business-like letter gives the most COM
plete assurance that he understands
precisely what the Commonwealth will
expect Of him and that the honors he
has won or may win cannot turn him
aside from his devotion to honest gov
ernment.
Honest government, enforced by an
honest and fearless Chief Executive
is what Pennsylvania wants. A candi.
date like Mr.. Pattison does not need tc
make any more specific pledge than
this, because his record is known OF
all men and the call that has been made
upon him really means that he shall
apply to the government of the State
the principles and methods that have
done so much for the better govern
ment of Philadelphia. A single
sentence from such a man is worth
whole columns of reform theories and
political platitudes from the average
candidate.

THE prosecution of the star route
thieves in the Washington court, drags
heavily with but little prospect, if any,
Of punishment to these public robbers.
A Mr.. Walsh was placed upon the
stand few days ago and gave very
damaging testimony in the case, prin-
cipally involving Brady, the late AS
sistant Postmaster General, which if
sustained, would seem to block his
chances of escape, even with all the
power and influence surrounding him.
Great efforts, however, are being made
to discredit the witness and destroy
the force Of his evidence with. the
jury. Wealth and party influence are
powerful levers when used to protect
the favored political henchmen of
party frauds, and these fellows know
too much of the villanies of the Re.
publican management, to doubt that
that influence will not be used to the
fullest extent. Walsh's testimony
bears evidence of being straightfor-
ward and truthful, but we pity him
nevertheless. They will make him to
appear as greater villain than the
thieves themselves, and equal in men
dacity to Robson, Of New Jersey.

THERE seems to be glimmer of
hope that Robeson's plunder naval
bill will fail to pass before the ad-
journment of Congress. This would
be hard upon the navy officers and
put them to some inconvenience, but
the country can better afford to in.
demnify them for losses in obtaining
their pay at discount, then to place
millions at the mercy of Robeson. His
unsavory record is sufficient to damn
any bill he engineers or any expen-
diture he can control.

SENATOR MITCHELL being inter-

that as the parties are at present con-

success this fall would be preferable
to regular Republican victory. The

fact that his party is corrupt and can
only be reconstructed and saved from
utter demolition by defeat.

GEN. CURTIS, who as a Federal
official was recently convicted in New
York for collecting money from office
holders for political purposes, filed a
motion for new trial, alleging the
unconstitutionality of the Federal
statute under which the conviction
was made. The court in banc, unani-
nous as to the validity of the law,
have dismissed the motion in arrest of

Gen. Curtis was accordingly sentenced
to pay the penalty, $1,000, provided
by the statute, and be in custody until

New YORK, Sept, 28.-There appeared to
be an attempt to rally the market this
morning, which, however, resulted in a
failure. Delaware G. Lackawanna was ad-
vanced to $l.441ss, when large amounts of
the stock were offered and it fell to SLAP.
Oregon Transcontinental as on yesterday
was pressed for sale, and declined from
934c to 9024c. Louisville & Nashville
sold at 7014, while Michigan
Central touched 994. The
feeling became decidedly feverish
and considerable amount of long stocks
were quietly unloaded. The action of the
secretary of the treasury seems as on
previons occasions to have failed to i'm
part confidence, and brokers reported an
entire lack of buying orders. About mid
day stocks became steadier, and slight ad-
vances were made. This lasted but a
short time, being followed by lower prices.
Although money was obtainable at seven
per cent. During the last hour there was
considerable covering by shorts, with q
slight improvement particularly in the
Vanderbilt's. Louisville & Nashville con-
tinued brisk, and sold at 6SA. The mar
ket closed unsettled, with free selling and
bad outlook for tomorrow.

ing returns from wheat. They send in
wheat which they expect to inspect as No.

as No. 3. The receivers get about eighty
cents bushel for No. 8 spring
and 6O@61 for rejected No. 3, and there is
trouble. The majority of these firms are
proposing to send the inspection receipts
hereafter.
BUYING NO. g.
1t was noticeable yesterday, and in fact
for days past that G. j. Kershaw was buy
ing nearly all the No. 3 wheat sold in this
market. and it has attracted attention.
There is no doubt but that it is about 20
cents cheaper than No. .. This is the best
grade for profit to buy. The manipulation
of No. has caused this great difference in
prices between the two grades, where there
should only be about cents bushel diff
ference.

holders of cash grain are naturally anxious
