United States supervisors have been APP
pointed throughout the country under the
plea of securing pure elections. These SUI
pervisors are generally Republicans, and in
some places all Republicans. For the Re
publican administration to assume all the
purity of the country, is an assumption I'M
warranted by its career, and simply ridic-
ulous. 1t is ridiculous for any party to
claim all the honesty and integrity of the
country. These supervisors were not APP
pointed to secure pure elections, however,
as pretended Having lost the military to
back up their frauds, and the "bloody-shirt'
dodge failing to arouse the people, the Re-
publican party is now depending on money
and fraud. The fraud is to be done by
illegal registration and voting, and the
United States supervisors are to manage
that part Frank johnson and Edward
Donergan, two of these worthless, have been
detected in fraudulently registering voters
in Philadelphia. Warrants were issued fol
their arrest, but they have fed, thus ac.
knowledging their guilt.

Blaine's Triumphs.

Mr.. Blaine is looming up as the most
powerful man in the Republican party,
He succeeded in defeating Grantism at
Chicago in 1880; forced Conkling and Platt
into the position of submitting to the con-
frmation of Robertson as collector at New
York or resigning; defeated both Conkling
and Platt for reelection after their resig-
nation; came near beating Folger, Conk-
Gng's candidate for Governor of New York;
has got Cameron down in Pennsylvania,
and is backing the straightout Republicans
in Virginia, which will beat Malone, who
is supported by the Arthur administration.
Blaine is on the path against the Grant
Conkling-Cameron Stalwart machine, and
he bids fair to break it up entirely. He is
looking to the nomination for the Presi-
dency in 1884, and if he fails, he will see
to it that no Stalwart gets the prize. If
he cannot do it in the convention, he will
defeat them before the people. Blaine,
however, will be able to do his work in the
convention, and Republicans who are look
ing for office had better trim their sails to
catch the Blaine breeze.

Chambersburg, Pa, is just now exercis-
ed on the color-line in public schools. The
school board provided separate schools for
whites and blacks. This plan worked very
well until the recent opening of the schools.
A colored man wanted to send his children
to one of the white schools. The school
board refused them admission to the school
Tor whites, and an appeal has been taken from
the decision. Since the refusal a new ques-
ton has sprung up. Some of the colored
people claim that if they must send their
children to schools set apart for colored
children, they must have colored teachers.
This is an inconsistency not easily explain
ed, and the color-line in the schools may
cause considerable trouble in Chambersburg
and Franklin county, where the Republi-
cans have full control. .-.

Hon. Louis E. McComas, of Hagers-
town, was nominated for Congress at Fred
erick, on Thursday, by vote of sixteen to
six for Mr. Urner. Mr.. Urner not getting
what he wanted, will now take what he can
get, as he was probably nominated for as
sociate judge at Point of Rocks yesterday.
Mr.. Hutchinson, the Arthur administration
candidate, withdrew before the fight came
on in the convention. Mr. McComas, it is
thought, is not very strong candidate,
and any good Democrat will have but little
difficulty in carrying the district. Hon.
Montgomery Blair, of Montgomery county,
it is believed, would have an easy victory
over McComas.

The Republican convention that momi-
mated Col. Mulliken for Congress in the
first district of this state last week, refused
to pass a resolution endorsing President
Arthur's administration. The Republi-
cans, everywhere, seem to be getting tired
of Stalwartism, and it would not be sur
prising if the Republicans give the Stall
warts set back in this county in 1884.
The GRANTEES have been controlling the
party here because none of the opponents
took enough interest to defeat them The
great majority of Carroll county Republi-
cans are opposed to Grant Conkling Stall
wartism, and they will make themselves
felt when the proper time comes. Mutter-
ings of discomfort have already been heard,
and the storm is coming that will sweep the
Stalwarts of Carroll and the state from
power

The nomination of Judge Folger, Secre-
tary of the Treasury, for Governor of New
York, does not inspire the leading Repub-
lican papers with much enthusiasm nor
give them much hope Of success. The
Times thinks the party has received blow
in the house of its friends, which is purely
gratuitous trifing with its strength, and its
only hope is in Democratic blunder.
The Herald believes the nomination of
Folger will cause complications that may
end in disaster, whilst the Tribune says that
the election of Folger will be serious I'M
dertaking.

Hours OF Meeting.
An Old Hobby.

The Sentinel objects to any allusion to
the systematic and immense plundering OF
Major Phipps, late superintendent OF the
Philadelphia Aims House. The Sentinel
calls it "defalcation," under Major Phipps,
Republican, but calls the extravaganza
at the Carroll county Aims House 'theft
and deliberate plumber" because it was
under Democratic control. The Sentinel
says:
ssThe charge of theft and deliberate plumber
by Democratic Stewards of our own Aims
House was made in open Court not long since,
before Democratic Commissioners, by Demo
crptic leaders and the Democratic AdrOcdte
knew it. And yet though it can sympathize
with taxpayers robbed abroad 1t had not
word then for tax payers robbed at home.
The ADVOCATE never before heard that
any such charge was made in open court
IF it were made, give the name of the per-
son or persons who made it, the time, &c
The ADVOCATE does know that during the
campaign one year ago, all sorts Of charges
were made in the Sentinel about Demo-
cratic corruption, plumber and theft and on
the Saturday before the grand jury met in
November it challenged the accusers to go
before the grand jury and make the charges
there, promising that the court would bring
to trial, before an unpacked jury, the guilty
parties. The charges were not made, and
the following week, the grand jury still be-
ing in session, the ADVOCATE repeated its
challenge Another week passed, and still
the accusers failed to appear before the
grand jury. During these weeks, the Sen
tiiael had not line about Democratic plum
der, but the week after the grand jury was
discharged, it came out with a sort of re-
iteration of the same old charges that it
had used every campaign for several years
previous.
There was extravaganza at the Carroll
county Aims House five or six years ago,
but the Steward did not profit by it and
carry thousands of dollars away with him.
The Democrats stopped the extravaganza.
The Republicans of Philadelphia did not
check Major Phipps robbery. 1t was left
for Democrat to do, and that Democrat
is Pattison, the next Governor Of Pennsyl-
vania The Carroll county Steward did
not run away. Maj. Phipps jumped his
bail and fed from justice, and was captured
in Canada few days ago.

Improper Registration.

The Sentinel alludes to the registration
of Theodore Niebergall, an inmate Of the
Aims House, and seems to regard it as an
outrage on the Republican party. We
have been requested to state by the gentle
man who had Niebergall registered, that
he did so to offset the registration of a
person more afflicted on the part Of the
Republicans, and the attempt by the same
party to have adjudged lunatics registered
In the case of Niebergall and the case
of the Republican, it is probable that the
letter of the constitution was not violated
Article l, section 2, says ''no person under
guardianship, as a lunatic, or, as a person
non compos mentis, shall be entitled to
vote" Neither the Democrat nor Repub-
lican, perhaps, are thus disqualified, as
neither are mder guardianship, but Meth
err should be permitted to vote, as it is
evident that neither are responsible per-
sons

Voluntary
From the Hare de Grace Republican.


From the HARE de Grace Republican. .ra
To call these impudent political assessments
voluntary contributions is a base, hypo.
critical lie. Every sensible man knows that
the large majority of the clerks in the Custom
houses, Post offices and other departments of
the government who pay the assessments, do
so through fear of losing their places, and not
onehalf of those who do pay would do SO, il
they felt entirely safe of the official guillotine
in case of refusal. 1t is the most shameless,
demoralizing and corrupt system of stealing a
part of the wages of employees of the govern
ment, and it is disgrace and damnable
shame that high officials should sanction or
even countenance such villainous stand and
deliver outrage. The very fact that Hubbell
has been obliged to issue three or four art
fully worded, begging circulars before get
ting responses, gives the lie to the voluntary
contribution claim.

Actuated by spirit of desperation the
Democracy of our county have been COM
PEELED to draw ON the Aims House for reg
istration material Sentinel.
Be the above true or false, we never
heard it intimated before that poverty was
a crime for which the unfortunate poor
must forfeit their dearest right. If an in
mate of the Aims House must be debarred
the right to vote, the Sentinel must place
every outdoor pensioner upon the same
footing, and those Republicans who receive
little aid from the county, and are thus
enabled to have their own little homes, will
no doubt resent this insult to them.

Judge Wylie last Friday set aside the
verdict in the star-route cases as to Rerdell
and Miner. The acquittal of Turner is to
stand, and nothing further is to be done in
the case of Peck, who is dead. The YER
dict is set aside because of its eunreason-
ableness," a conspiracy to rob the govern
ment being proved and overt acts shown.
These being shown, it was for the jury to
decide who were the conspirators, and it
was not regarded reasonable verdict that
the agents should be guilty and not the
principals. Besides, matters not in evi-
dence were discussed BY the jury in form

ton to determine whether it is alive or not,
whether it is fish, flesh or fowl. The body
abandoned and actually disbanded last night
has recently been cutting rather ridiculous
figure in local politics. Its antics have been
noticed and magnifed by papers who have
desperately hoped to sow dissension and pro-
