Washington Township Heard From

EDITOR CHRONICLE-In your issue of
the 10th, l find an article dated April
9Th, signed IA Voter" do not know
anything about the truth of what he
says about York township, but when he
says that the Republicans of Washington
township was so corrupt that the people
d few years ago raised in their might,
and elected full board of Democrats.
please tell him that he is a liar, and the
truth is not IN him-and | doubt very
much If 1t ever was in him. The truth
of the matter is, as far as Washington
township is concerned, we had squab-
bic about building "a township house,
and where it was to be built-in fact,
the same question that we have had in
the county about the court house. On
that issue, and that alone, the Demo :
cratic board was elected.
The people of this township have
more sense than to turn out a Republi
can board and put in Democratic
board. on an issue of corruption, compe-
tency, or financial ability. When there
was Democratic board elected at the
time above referred to- they were 40
corrupt or incompetent that they spent
over $500 in the one year they were in;
when, on the other hand, the Republi
cans for years before, and some two
years since. have managed the township
finances so as to keep out of debt, and
get along with an annual expenditure of
about $500
Again L say, that if your sneaking
Voter" says that there is now, or ever
has been corrupt Republican officer in
Washington township. he is liar.

Capital says the sum Of $4,000 will re-

more, proving what a strong hold sym
pathy with the cause of the South in the
civil war has upon the cultivated and

any feature of the exhibition. From

Rarard,s Hatred of the Negro.

Secretary Bayard is an out and out
enemy to the negro race. He regards
colored man as something less than hu-
man being, and the sight of one, not a
servant, is sure to put him In rage.
This accounts for his contemplate and
ungentlemanly treatment of George w.
Williams, the recently appointed and
confirmed Minister to .Hayti. Simply
because Williams is colored man Sec
retGry Bsyard has tried to force him in
to resignation by Withholding his in
structions and salary, and threatening
him with charges which he refuses to
make known to the accused. This Is
simply disgraeefal to the .administra-
tion of which Mr.. Bayard forms part
But Mr.. Williams is not the only color
ed man whom this Delaware high flyer
has treated with contumely and scorn.
Our Washington correspondent, Carp
some time ago gave history of Bay
ards record on this point. When Mr.
Bruce, present Register of the Treasury,
entered the United States Senate as d
representative from Mississippi, BAyard
sneaked out of the Chamber to avoid
shaking hands with him, and during the
six years he and Bruce served together
he never recognized him or mentioned
his name. AT one time Bayard made Z
speech in the Senate on the currency
and, according to castOm. it was disLrib
uted through the House Postoffice to al
| Representatives. Robert B. Elliott , q
colored member from South Carolina
was overlooked, and on inquiring the
reason was told that Bayard had ordered
that none of his speeches should be Civ
en- to colored men. When Robert SmaIls,
another colored member from South
Carolina, was in Congress, be tried to
get a bill passed compsnsating him for
the capture OF the steamer Planter in
Charleston Harbor during the war The
DILL passed the House all right, but when
It reached the Senate Bayard, who was
ln the Naval Committee, opposed it on
The ground that Smalls was "nigger.'
Smalls went over to the Senate Chamber
TO see Bayard, but the latter flew into a
violent rage. aHd threatened to have the
colored Representative elected by the
rgeant-at-Arms. Bayard's influence
killed the bill. These are few sample
cases of Bayard's violent antipathy to
ward the colored race, and yet there arr
men with dark skins in the country who
are his peers in every respect. To have
such man filing high position in the
government is both disgraceful and al
insult to the whole country. Democrat;
are constantly reminding the Republi
cans that the war is over, but Thoma:

Boston Wool Market.

Commercial Bulletin: Quotations in
the present market are purely nominal,
owing to the fact that assortments are
very much broken and dealers are en-
deavoring to close out stock. Prices are
on the whole easy with a slightly irmer
feeling on few nearly exhausted grades
of wool. The sales fer the week have
been large both because of the necessity
of closing out stocks before the arrival
of the new clip and because wool is rec
ognized to>day generally as good pur-
chase at present figures. There have
been in the wool market as we'll as in
the leather market various canards re-
sulting from war news. The most i'm
portant was bit of gossip to the effect
that the mills at CohOes bad received
orders from Russia that would keep
them busy fer eight months. A bright
Boston buyer who has been among them
for the last two days reports them as
most unwilling purchasers of wool. In
terror markets are quiet. Though the
market for woolen goods for the moment
| is quiet, manufactured goods are in
much better condition. Ohio and Penn
sylvania tleeces are much in the same
position. Xxx wool of the choicest de-
scription is scarce and shade firmer,
but slightly faulty wool is plenty enough
and weak There has been a general
weakening among the holders of Ohio
X, and SOC is now the standard quota
ton for Ohio Y of fair quality. Of
course it is very early to speak of the
new Ohio clip as yet, but common re-
ports has it that the farmers will proba-
bly, expect thirty cents for their wool
this year. Whether they can get it is
another matter.

UNIONTOWN.

The CONCERT given by Prof. G. W.

on the evening of the 18th inst, was an

The ladies were dressed in white, and
the gentlemen wore white vests and

net; OTgauiSts, Misses Cornell Lodge and
Jessie Daniels. On several of the pieces
1st violin was played by Prof Roberts.
For the class, Prof. Vanfossen acted as
organist. The program was as.specified
in the bills, viz: solos, duets, quartettes,
music by the class and orchestra. Prof.
Davis is most successful teacher of
music, and the class are surely worthy
of commendatiOn for the excellent music
rendered by them on this occasion. The
music of the orchestra was also highly
IeulOgiZed by persons present. Both
parties may feel satisfied that their enr
ltertainment was appreciated and en-
ljoyed by their audience. A vote of
thanks was rendered to Prof. Davis by
the president of the Grade singing class
and the audience was dismissed.
i The family of Mr.. Robert Humphrey
are quite i'll, some of the members seri-
Iously so. Former mention was made OF
the injuries received by Mr.. Humphrey
while Shoeing a horse, and from which
he has not recovered. His wife was re-

Julia and Mr.. Melvin McClenahan are

THERE is every prospect of success in
raising the necessary funds for the re-
pairing of the Uniontown church. The
lcommittee are not yet actively at work
but they report favorable feeling
among the people of the congregation to
contribute. aud those who thought it not
advisable to expend money on the old
building, have expressed willingness
to aid should the work go on. Many
outside Of the church will likely feel il
their duty ana privilege also to help in
the good work.

of Wheeling township, is quite ill.

SOME of the Democratic brethren are
beginning to think that this is funny
Democratic administration. The horri
BILE revelation is made that the Consul
General just appointed to Melbourne,
Australia, was an ardent supporter of
Blaine. Referring to this important
appointment made last week, and at
trihuted to the Secretary of State, the
n. Y. Evening Post says:
The appointment of Mr.. James M.
Morgan as Consul General at Melbourne
must not be ascribed to the influence of
the MugwumpS, although the appointee
was an active partisan of Mr.. Blaine
down to the day of the Presidential
election. His admiration for Mr. .Blaines
foreign policy was SO great that. he wrote
and published, here in New York, a
pamphlet of considerable bulk, advoca
ting Blaine's election on the eground that
it would be A guarantee of protection to
American citizens abroad. Mr.. Bayard
ought to ask Mr.. Morgan for a copy OF
that pamphlet before making out his
commission
