COUNTY CHAIRMAN MERCER.

The result Of the campaign in this
county has fully demonstrated the fact
that the friends of James II. Mercer
made no mistake when they selected
him as Chairman of the Democratic
Standing Committee. He has been
active, earnest, energetic, untiring.
He has effected thorough organization,
and with the assistance of the other
members of the committee, he has
conducted the canvass intelligently
and thoroughly. Constantly for sever
al weeks past he has given his time al
most exclusively to the work before
him, and how well he has discharged
his duties is shown by the democratic
majority of 1856, in this county, a
figure which has been exc eeded but
few times. He and the efficient Sc
cretary of the committee, c. b. Rob
bins, are entitled to the thanks OF
every democrat, for their unselfsh
and valuable services to the party.

The Election in Town.

The first trial of the Baker bollot
law has proven quite satisfactory in
Bloomsburg. Most everybody is pleas
ed with the system and would like to
see it continued, with some few modi-
hcations. For instance, as the booths
stand now anyone can see how each
voter marks his ballot. They should
be SO located as to prevent this.
Although there was much interest
manifested, there was little or no ex-
citement during the day. The very
large vote polled here shows the re-
suit of the thorough canvass made by
both sides. The vote for President
was as follows

The Iams Case.

The Iams case could have had no
other termination than the acquittal of
Colonel Hawkins and Lieutenant
Colonel Streator. The whole case
was covered in the charge to the jury
when Judge Porter said: at was
the duty of the officers to maintain
proper discipline and if any feeling of
insubordination arose it was their
right and duty to punish such often
ders." As to this particular punish
ment, the court said: "If the officers
believed it was necessary so to punish
Iams in order to maintain discipline
and good order, they were justified in
so doing and they cannot be held ac-
countable in any civil court"
No doubt the court would have
been justified in throwing out the pros
ecution, as was suggested by the coun-
sci for the officers, but it was better to
leave the matter to the jury, SO that
their acquittal should have all the
weight of civil judgment rendered
freely by their fellow citizens. The
effect of this verdict is to affirm the
fact that the military service of the
Commonwealth is no holiday affair,
but serious devotion to serious
duty that members. of the National
Guard, when in active service, are
subject to military discipline and that
disloyal INSTRUMENTATION will be pun.
ished with the rigor of military law.
1t would have been easy for the
Court to affirm this principle by dis
missing tn. complaint of lams against
his commanding officers, but such {
! Judgment would not have carried the
same weight as is given to it by thC
unbiased verdict of civil jury. In
free Commonwealth the military
power is always subord nate to the
civil authority and subject to its re
view, but within its own field, wher
actually engaged in the defense o
public order, it will never be interfer
ed with on the complaint of dssatis
fed individuals with real or iancie(
grievances to redress. Times.

reverence for law He has widened
our philanthropy by call to succor
the distress in other lands He has
blessed our schools and is bringing

benevolent designs for our country !;
He has given us a great increase in

The President has issued the custo-

time fixed is long enough after the
election for everybody to determine,
from his own point of view, his pre-
else cause of gratitude. What may
be called non-partisan grounds of gra-
titude are sufficiently set forth by the
President. The pestilence has been
stayed and there is much OF content
ment and comfort as the result of the
abundant gifts of God" through the
fruitful yield of the earth. The earth
is apt to be right. Trouble comes
usually through the people who
inhabit the earth. AS the pres
criptive last Thursday of the month
falls this year upon November "a,
that day is appointed for Thanks
