PennsyIyanIa Bepublicans,

The Republicans of Pennsylvania
held their State Convention at Harris
burg on Wednesday of last week to
State ticket, &c. The Ca
meron crowd got away with the Inde-
pendents, and rushed through the cut
and-dried program agreed upon by the
ring masters. General Beaver was
nominated for Governor by acclama-
ton. The balance of the ticket is as
follows: Supreme Judge, William II.
Rawle, of Philadelphia; Lieutenant
Governor, w. T. Davis; Secretary of
Internal Affairs, Charles M. Greer
Congressman at large, Thomas M.
Marshall. The platform is that agreed
upon at the Philadelphia conference,
and promises reform within the party
next year. The Independents were
snubbed, and will hold their own con-
vention. The opinion is general that
nothing can now heal the breach be-
tween the Republican factions, and
the defeat of the ring ticket is predict
ed.
Senator Mitchell announces his in
tention to bolt the ticket, and Con-
gresham Bayne, of Pittsburgh, also
repudiates it. Both gentlemen will go
into the Independent movement.
senator Mitchell says that the whole
thing was cut and dried, and that
while the Stalwarts showed great
adroitness, they will not be able to
hoodwink the honest Independents,
who are tired Of CamerOn's machine
methods. He will attend the Inde-
pendent Convention, which he be-
lieyes will nominate a straight ticket
The Stalwarts say that the Indepen.
dents are kickers, and that they want
to aid the Democrats. Sam Randall
says the result will be Democratic
victory in Pennsylvania.
On with the dance.

AN idea of the contemplated raids

AN idea of the contemplated raids
upon the United States Treasury may
be formed when it is stated that the
bills now on the table of the Speaker
of the House contemplate the expend-
iture of no less than $3.50 900, coo over
and above the regular appropriations
required by law. These bills are for
all sums, from 81 900 up to millions,
and all Of them are urged upon the
most plausible grounds. 1t is urged
that the revenues now being collected
insure huge surplus, and it would be
wiser to put this surplus into 50 called
public Improvements than into a re-
duction of the public debt The better
plan is to reduce taxation, and thus
lift portion of the burden from the
shoulders of the people, A heavy sur
plus is not only curse to the Treasury
but to the people and public honesty,
1t not only encourages, but facilitates
jebbery of all kinds. When a man
has more money than he knows what
to do with, he usually wastes it; and
this is almost universally the case with
a government which carries an enor-
nous surplus revenue. There is only
one way to dispose of it. Reduce tax
alton so that the revenues will simply
meet the expenditures. The public
debt is now in such a shape thatit will
be extinguished within the time pre-
scribed by law. 1t is worse than folly,
it is simply oppression, to undertake
to hasten the process, or pay bonus
upon the public obligations for the
sake of paying them before they are

THE danger of admitting expert tes-
timony as conclusive and not as cor
roborative evidence in the courts of
the country, is forcibly illustrated in
the case of one O'Brien, who it seems
was some time since in the service of
Judge Daily, of New York, as a COACH
man, and short time after his dis
charge, letters of an obsence character
were sent to the Judges daughter.
O'Brien was arrested on suspicion of
being the author Of these letters, and
photographic experts were introduced
to prove that they were in the hand
letter re- were written in characters made
in imitation of print and'in an evil
IDENTIFY disguised hand, O'Brien was
found guilty and sentenced to pay q
fine of $3.50 and be imprisoned in the
Albany penitentiary enc year. The
strangest part of the whole transaction
is that, while O'Brien was in Jail and
awaiting transportation to Albany
Miss Daily continued to receive letters
in the same handwriting, and has con-
tinued to receive them since OBrien
was sent to the penitentiary, making
| it almost certain that he has fallen a
victim of photographic experts. Steps
are being taken to secure OBrien's re-
lease, and will no doubt prove success

AFTER having denounced General
Chalmers, of Mississippi, in the most
bitter terms and kicked him out of
Congress to give his seat to a negso,
the Republican leaders are all at once
becoming deeply enamored Of the
"hero of Fort Pillow" No sooner
does he desert his old party associa-
tiOns and announce his intention to
organize a "liberar' movement in
Mississippi, than the Republicans take
him to their fond embrace and make
him their special pet. Twas ever
thus. 1t makes no difference what
position a man occupied in the war OF
the rebellion, if he only contributes to
the success of the Republican party,
its leaders are ready to vouch for his
loyalty. There is yet hope for jeff

following bugle blast to the Independ-

WASHINGTON. May 13, 1882.
Major Geo. w. Merrick, Wellsboro, Pa.
Right is mighty and ever triumph
ant. 1 have done all for peace, but
war is inevitable, not upon men but
upon candidates who have lashed
themselves to an unrighteous cause to
carry the favor of bossism, machinism
and the use of the spoils system to
bolster up Stalwart usurpa tion. 1
am against this everywhere and for
ever. 1t is a plain patriotic duty to
put down this Stalwart oligarchy at
any cost that true Republicanism and
the Republic itself may live and thrive.

A WASHINGTON pension agent was

A WASHINGTON pension agent was
almost paralyzed with astonlshment
the other day when he found a veteran
of the late war who had sustained a
permanent injury while in the army,
and had not applied for pension.
The veteran had cut an artery III his
wrist while opening bottle ofwhisky
stolen from the colonel's headquarters,
aud he said he didn't know u wound
of that character entitled him to a

him of his error, and in a few days he

THE New Lisbon Buckeye State,
high Republican authority, says: "In
the light of all the evidence, then, Mr..
Mckinley appears before the people a

over the seating of the-negro Lynch
