The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1882-04-21

THEE Allegheny cOnntv delegates to
the Democratic State Convention re
Gently issued an address to the Demo-
cTacy of the State urging the nomina-
tion of James H. Hopkins, of Pittsburg.
for Governor. The address concludes
with the declaration that the public re-
cord of Mr.. Hopkins is unassailable:
that his private life is without reproach. 4.
that his business capacity is of the first
order. and his integrity above suspicion.
As the FREEMAN has heretofore more
than once avowed its preferences for
Mr. Hopkins. it endorses everything set
forth in the address in favor ofhis nomi-
nation. When. however. the addition
al reason is assigned in the address why
he should be nominated. that ALLEGHENY
county has not had a Democratic nomi-
nee for Governor in the history of the
Commonwealth" " we must respectfully.
but firmly. dissent in the interest of the
truth Of political history. In the sum
mer Of 1874, after the death of Henry
A. Muhlenherg. who was then the Dem-
cratic candidate for Governor. the State
convention was reassembled and nomi-
mated Francis r. Skunk. who was then
a citizen of Pittsburg. That was the
year Of the celebrated Polk and CLAW
campaign. Skunk was elected over
Gen. Markle, of Westmoreland county.
was reelected in 1s47, and died few
months after his Inauguration in 1S48.
Skunk was Just as much a citizen Of Al
legheny county when he was nominated
and elected Governor in 1874 as Mr..
Hopkins is to-day. and if the latter
should be nominated and elected. as we
trust he may. we can only hope that he
viii walk in the footsteps of that honest
and incorruptible Democrat. Francis r. .
skunk, whose memory will be honored
throughout Pennsylvania long after
the name Of the men who now control.
and by controlling debauch the politics
of the State, are buried out of sight an
forever forgotten.

IN a railroad car on the Pittsburg
and Lake Erie Railroad one day last
week, the seats were all full except one.
the only occupant of which was a pleas
aut looking Irishman from Lawrence
county, and when the train reached
Beaver a couple of evidently weN-bred
and intelligent young ladies came in to
procure seats. Seeing none vacant.
they were about going into the next car.
when Patrick arose hastily and offered
them his seat with evident pleasure.
but you Will have no seat for your
self" said one of the young ladies with
a smile, hesiUating, with true politeness.

piled the gallant HIbernian I'D will

The Chinese bill introduced into the
House Immediately after Mr.. Arthur's
veto Of the original bill over two weeks
ago passed that body under a suspension
of the rules and amidst great excite
ment, on Monday last. The yeas were
pol and the nays 81. The bill as passed
prohibits Chinese immigration during
the next ten years, instead Of tlreuty. as
in the vetoed bill, but contain the same
provisions as to passports and the pro-
hibition of Chinese naturalization If
this bill passes tie Senate, as it pretty
certainly will, and if Mr., Arthur. in
view of the Republican collapse in the
three Pacific coast States resulting from
his veto, should now conclude with
Falstaff that discretion is the better
part of valor and sign the bill. it will be
peculiarly interesting to learn the rea-
sons for his belief that while it is radi-
cally wrong and a "breach of our ma
tiOnal faith'' to close American seaports
against Cinnamon for tlrenty years. it is
eminently right and proper to do so for
ten years. If he solves this problem he
will deserve to be nominated for Presi-
dent in 1884.

backset in the Virginia State Senate on
Thursday of last week. Under the bill.
as we have heretofore stated, the Repu-
diatiOnists woRld elect eight out OF the
ten members to which the State is en-
titled, and the Democrats the two re-
naming members. In this shape the
bill had passed the House some time
ago, but when the final vote was taken
on it in the Senate, on the day above
sta ted, it was defeated, the vote stand
iRg--yeas, 16; nays, 10 ; two indepen-
dent Republicans and three Democratic
Readfusters voting against it. The
fight over the bill has been going on for
weeks. with Malone on one side and ex-
State Auditor Massey, a Methodist min
lister and tie real founder of the Read

a candidate for Congress at large for the

THE Attorney General of the United
States. Benjamin IT Brewster. to whom
the President referred Fftz John Por-
ter's letter in regard to his case. has
furnished Mr.. Arthur with a Ienotbv
opinion which, as the Philadelphia Times
remarks. is substantially shat however
completely the innocence of Gen. Por-
ter may be established. the law affords
him no relief. Mr.. Brewster holds
that the President has no power to re-
view the sentence Of the court martial
that convicted Porter that by the ex-
ercise of the pardoning power he could
relieve him Of his disability. but that
this would not permit him to nominate
FitZ John Porter for restoration to his
former rank in the arnv, and that he can
only be restored by a special act Of Con-
gress. It is a maxim of the law that
there is no wrong without a remedy
but it seems that Fitz John Porter's
case IS to be made the one conspio1ous
exception to this universal rule. The
evidence taken before the Board Of In
quiry, composed Of Generals SchofeId
Terry and Getty, established Porter's
innocence so plainly that it is not now
a debatable question and yet Mr.. Ar
thurs Attorney General decides that
Porter's only remedy is by a special act
Of Congress. This Of course relieves the
President and throws the whole respon-
sibility upon the legislative branch of
the government. What course General
Porter viii now take in his long but
baffled pursuit of justice remains to be
seen. That full justice. however. will
yet be accorded him we cannot permit
ourselves to doubt for one moment.
