Mr.. Ohalfant's Denial.

Last week we published the denial
of Mr.. Buckingham of the charge made
by the Berwick Gazette, and as this
does not appear to have satisfied our
contemporary, we append what Mr..
Chalfant has to say of the matter, not
that we consider the charge of any i'm
portance, but simply to show that
either the Gazette or its alleged in
formant made up the story out of
whole cloth. Mr.. Chalfant says:
"Some person sent us copy of the
Berwick Gazette of the 10 inst, in
which we find an article relating to the
editor of the Dan0iHe Inteligencer,
from which we extract the following :
"a prominent citizen of Danville
who had occasion to visit Berwick last
week, tells an interesting story con-
corning political deal that it is alleged
was made between Buckingham and
Chalfant, by which the former secured
the appointment of Deputy Collector
and the latter hopes to walk off with
the State Senator prize at the next
meeting of the senatorial conferees.'
1t is a matter of curiosity to us to
learn who could perpetrate so many
malicious lies in so small compass.
There is not modicum of truth in the
whole story. The editor of this paper
never had political deal" with Mr..
buckingham on any matter, much less
on the subject of the State Senatorship
or the Deputy Collectorship. And for
several reasons first, no one ever
heard him express desire to be made
Senator second, he never either orally
or by written line urged tho appoint
ment of Mr.. Buckingham to
the position of Deputy Collector ;
third, he does not believe it to be in
the power of Mr.. Buckingham, or any
half or dozen men to hand over the
Senatorial conferees of Columbia
county without the consent of the
Democratic voters thereof. Moreover,
the editor, aforesaid never had a line
from nor had he spoken to Mr.. Buck
ingham since he had been a candi.
dote for the Deputy CollectorsEp un,
til he met him few days since in the
discharge of his official duties"

Libel and Primary Elections.


Judge Elwells charge to the Mon.
tour county jury at the trial of Editor
Chalfant, of the Danville S1,a, on the
charge of libeling Lewis Titel, late
candidate for the Democratic Sher.
ilfalty nomination, is victory for the
advocates of legal regulation of pri-
mary elections. Chalfant had charged
that one of Titer agents had offered
$500 to delegate to vote for him for
Sheriff. Judge Elwell was asked by
counsel for the prosecution to leave to
the jury the question whether the news
of corruption at a primary election
was proper for publication, but he de-
clined to do anything of the kind. On
the contrary, he plainly told the jury
that such publication was as proper
when it related to primary elections as
if general election had been the sub
ject matter, and this feature of the
charge doubtless mad its influence in
bringing about Chalfant's acquittal.
The incident ought to show those
who oppose primary election laws as
unconstitutional how easy their theory
could be perverted to the abridgment
of the liberty of the press. A Judge
who took the so-called broad view that
the State has no right to regulate the
details and management of a party
organization under any circumstances,
and jury which cherished sort of
spite against an editor, would be all
that was necessary for the incarcera.
ton of one who would expose such
primary election frauds as those that
appear to have been committed in
Montour county.
The unrestricted liberty of publica.
tion and criticism of the details of pri-
mary elections will more than compen-
safe for any harm that the theory of
such a law may do, for it will promote
the enforcement of the law in practice
and an increased respect for law in gen
eral.-Zimes
