DESPERATE STRAITS OF \ THE IUKG.\ It is really amusing to witness the desperate ntruu to wjiien *' tho ring\ and itti organ, the PdUaaiu^n, are com- pelled to resort U> in order to bolator up an untenable and utierly kk cause. Mot and refuted at every ]>oint with incontrovertible facts and tigu cue day they c:\jole unwary, but no doubt sincere fallow beings, to commit the terrible crime of perjury ! This diabuiical proceeding failing, they then resort to one of the most flimsy expedients conceivable to accomplish Uioir grasping seln^h ends. \ Kale or ruiu \ unquestionably has now become the vratchward of the clique who have bevn the curso of tho republican party of Franklin county for a long se.ries-of years. Utterly twhainsd of the dis- graceful position in which they placed their fifteen pliant tools iu the \ affi- davit\ b*ti&iiie*9 they would fain endeavor to ahfold their own guilty heads, and strive to canvroee the voters of tho second school commis- * siancr district that they {the fifteen delegates) only gwore that they \ IN- TENDED to vote every tirae for Mr. Hutching.\ To strengthen this fallacy and make it ruoro pausable the Pal la- diUia even goes so far as to copy from the Potsdam Courier and Freeman the following paragraph : •• At to f ho school commis^Son^rahip eotn- troversc in tii«* seeoud district of frrankltn county, 15 of ibe 27 delegates uow make affidavit tbat they voted or ISTEXDED to vote overy time f**r Hulcuins.\ How the QsurUr arid Freeman could pen such a sentence, after carefully reading over the affidavits of tha fif- teen aSvsts, is something more than wo can understand. Will he please inform his readers where and in what part of those affidavits he found the word \ intended..\ Tho wording therein is BO plain and explicit that tha inosr ordinary reader cannot fail to understand. Here they are : Thai he (the delegate, being duly sworn) declared ** thai htt attended said Convention aud was preaout tuwl voted three tiniug upon i of a nomination of_a candidat Jar School Cummitttloncr for the Second Commissioner District; that- BACH AND! KVKKT THE ho voted on that question he ca*t his ballot for Almanzo Hulchlne, of the town of Brandos.\ What more %M needed to show the nonsense—or laek of ordinary intelli- gence (if w« must say so) on the part of the Courier and Freeman t Seeing the grave error into which it has fa lion it now only remain* for the editor of that paper to come out and frankly admit that the item was written and published without road- ing the affidavits. In the event of not choosing to do suoh there can be bat one conclusion arrived at, i.e., that the quoted sentence was either inspired or written by some one having a greater interest iu the result than the editor of the Courier and Freeman. That paper, we haye had occasion to note, aspirea to eandor end respectability. But not so with that most miserable of all party hacks, the Palladium —the acknowledged organ and mouthpiece of Aiuianzo Hatching and the clique why have oviue&l no scruples in inciting and persuading innocent men to commit perjury, in order tbat their heiiiah designs may be carried out. We want no better evidence of the brazen effrontery of the Palladium concern than the following: '• Xow fif- \ teen of them [tho delegates] POSITIVE- \ LY TESTIFY, under oath, they IXTBSD- \ ED at every atage that Mr, Hutcbina \ should receive their votes, '* Hark the lying, the utter disregard of all facts, of this pelf-grabbing, perjury condoning siieet,the Palladium. The** fifteen men individualfy by solemn oath, (the same appeared in the col- umns of thU unprincipled and untruthful sheet oaly two weeks before) did solemnly declare that they \ ware delegate* and * »itUiiidod said Convention and was \ present and voted three times upon .** tho question of tha nomination of a \candidate for School Commissioner \ for the Second Commissioner District; \ that EACH JJTO EVEBr Tins h«* voted \ on that question h« cast fcia ballot u for Almaazo Hutching, of the town \of Btaadon.\ With anch an array of indisputable testimony of facts (out of their own months) can any fair minded truth-loving voter justify this disgraceful episode in connection with theae fifteen affidavits? With this part of the co mm L> inner- ship question we are 4ooe for the present. We are willing to submit the whole matter, in issue, viz., the sanctity of a man's plain explicit oath, and its distortion by an unprincipled partisan, in order i<» gain his KclnVn ends, with nn enlightened electoral*. From tho howling* of this despie»bte orew» appealing to the party whoso trust they have so lot* bctraj'cd and abaned. «od upon which they have so \tmu usurped undisputed sway and control, nnd now by. their Jesuitical ppl for \harmony \republican unity,*' and mntiy other go'«i and f»w^t*t things, we come down to the reoiUl of \* on? nioe little job \ put op by \the ring,'\ through and with the ormivar.ee of their \ ward,'* A'lmanzu Hutch ins, the \ rump \ candidate for. school com- missioner in the second district. The way the \ bargain and snle '* was effected is 8et forth in thp P alt ad him of la^t week, and affords bnt another in.staQce of the manner io which ofnoes and patronage have been traded off this county in times past. This is the little story UB narrated by \ the ring \ organ: \ Mr. KolchlQs wa3 approached ten <lays ago by a genttcmau of Butigor who roprt?- seuted lo him that, wholly apart from the merit* of the matter, the single fact that division existed was uafortnnato for tho republican party, and that If it continued bitterness would Increase and an example be established whW*h would incite dlMflviist.ui aod bolting Iu t!\o future. Ha urged him, therefore, to consent to withdraw from the ticket in ca»o Mr. Casbmau would agree to do the same, and permit Wiliard F. . Hyde, of Bangor, to be named by the county com- mittee to fill the vacancy. • • • • Mr. Hutchins answered that if his visitor re- flected the Judgment of his. friends, and that his withdrawal was deemed for the party's good, he would consent to tho ^sacrifice. \* He was simply willing for ta* sake of restoring harmony and contri- buting to republican unity to step aside for the present, and three years hencn to again try conclusions with Mr. Cushman iu the caucuses. • • • <• • He fthe^'^penfcle- tnau \ from Baugor] next visitod Mr. Oush- man, tn company with Mr. Hydo, at Fort Corlngton, and after reettiug what he had accomplished with Mr. Hutchins asked u iike disinterested and generotia decision from Mr. Cushraan. Mr. Cushman refused decision for the moment, but the next day announced that he should persist in being a candidate.\ - Now, we were aware at tho time of this overture to Mr. Cuffhinan, and knowing from what soui^e it emanated, we chose to bido our tirae and see tho kiud of explanation \ tho rijig\ would put upon it. Docs any sane man pro- tend to Fay that in the face of his regu- lar and legal nomination Mr. Cushmuv oomld do otherwise than reject so child- ish a proposition ? Again, does any sensible party man portend to claim that, in the eveet of Mr. Cushman accepting the proposition it would hare been valid, and consequently committed tho republican party of the c*ecoud district to meekly pubmit to this under- standing settled upon between \ the ring,\ and Htitehins, and the ** geutle- man\ from BaogQr ? The records of the convention show that Mr. Hyde not a candidate before that body for the office of school commissioner— his name oot being mentioned, much lens being proposed. Then, in such a contingency, by what power or~atrtiror- ity could the republican county com- orittee, designate Mr. Hyde as a candi- date for sobooi oonuniEaioner, to be voted for in the place and stead of W. G. Cushman, the regular nominee for that office by a legally constituted con- rention for such purpose made and liold ? Republicans would naturally inquire, and with the bent of reason, who authorized the PalUdiumHutLb- ins elique to dictate to them a candidate for school commissioner whose name was never presented for consideration, neither mentioned in convention? The whole thing is absurd. Hutch ins could not possibly enter into an agree- ment to withdraw from the field simply because be is not a regularly nominat- ed candidate. The records of the con- vention, the affidavits of tho toilers, and the unanimous sentiment of the whole district proclaim Wm. G. Cufhman the legal and only candidate for school commissioner in the Bccond di&tricw, aod that his election is assured on the 3th of November next is a forgone con- clusion. MR. JAMESON'S CARD. In another column will be found Mr. J. C. Jameson's letter, referred te week, explaining bis position and expressing hia sentiments upon tho school eommissionership embrogHo in this district. Our reply toMr. Jame- son's contention will bo short. First—Mr. J. gays he withheld his signature to Mr. Cuahman's document (affidavit; because he \believed it gotten up in such a manner as to mid- lead and deceive those interested in the true raerita of the controversy.\ Vary good. This is a tacit admission hy Mr. J. that Mr. Cushman sought his signature and affidavit to tile \ document\ in question. We desi; to ask Mr. Jameson-that if he does not recollect a conversation on this matter which occurred between him- self and another gentleman in Brush* ton on Friday the Oth of September inst., and that during said conversa- tion he did not say in substance, or words sufficient to leave that impres- •ion, that Mr. Cushman did not solicit bis signature and affidavit? More plainly, did lie not tell the gentleman with whom he waa conversing that if cu2i€ to him (Jamo- son) that he would willingly have signed and subscribed to the fact of his (Cushman) having received a majority of the votes cast at the second balloting for school oonirais siouer ? Further, we beg respectfully to ««k Mr. J., whilst in conversation with a prominent republican of Moira a few days .after the meeting of the convention, that if be did not tell htm that, as teller, he was satisfied Mr. Cushman received a majority of the vote*, thus being duly nominated, or words to that effect ? Mr. Jameson can answer these questions as best suits himself. If in the affirmative^ which, in our hunlble opinion ought to be t one must come to the conclusion that his vaunted re- gpect for. consistency and virtuo, is lacking in some esseutiai points. Second —Mr. Jameson denies ever having told any one that he believed Mr. Cushman was fairly nominated. To this we beg to ask Mr. J. what he meana by the words *' fairly nomina- ted ?\ Now, we know he told a gentleman in Malonc that ut this con- vention he acted as one of the 'toller* and as such counted the ballots over two times and was perfectly satisfied that Mr. Cushman had a majority of tho votes cast upon the second ballot. We further KNOW that then and thure (at the county convention) lie \quietly allowed tho result of that ballot to be passed over to the presi- dent aud announced by him without uttering one word of remonstrance, or declaring at the time before his co- de iogatea and co-tol]era that Mr. CuBh- man had not been ** fairly nominated.\ Too thin, too thin, Mr. Jameson. Such subterfuge will not go down this time. For a telleT on an important vote, (awd acting as such at the time) in an opea convention, to allow week after week to go by before publishing to tho world the startling announce- ment that the result was anything but \ fair\ 8eera8 to us, and we believe will'be so considered by rational boings, as the veriest nonsense, and at the same timo exhibit-8 a great lack of moral courage. If Mr. Jameson saw anything unfair in that ballot then and there was the time and place to dciare it in open convention. But, after counting the ballots twice— him- self, mind you—he could do nothing^ else but allow tho result to \be au nounced from the chair. Now, no better evidence of the nntenableness of his position is required than to sea him resort to the pitable cry \ I NEVER believed Mr. Cuehnian was fairly nom- inated/' And Io and behold ! *it has takeu him a long month to muster Up sufficient courage to assort and declare what he should have done, in fact what he owed to # his constituents, in tho county convention on Tuesday the T^hf A^fritJ THK ANARCHISTS MUST DIE.j OTTAWA, 111., Sept. 14.—Th» sup- remo court, thin morning, delivered an opinion on tho Anarchist oa«, affirming thejudgtnou* of the court below.

CHICAGO, September 14.—The first official information that reached this city of the decision io the Anarchist cases was a telegram from tbe Court Clerk, at Ottawa, to the Stale Attorney's offico bare. Mr. 1'urocll, of the StHe Attorney's office, ran at once to the i with the denpateh. Following on his hcolu WHS ft racssougor carrying a telegram for August Spies that had been lent from .Ottawa by an agent of the Anarchists. The turn key who took the despatch to cell 25 and fehoved it through the bant, lingered u moment to watch the effect it would have on Spies. Tho Anarchist took thu iuo* sage, glanced fiercely at the turukey,»nd then withdrew to the darker end of the cell. In a few minutes ho called gently to thu old man who sits as d$ath- watch outride hU barred door and a*ked him to hand tho telegraph sheet to Pardons. From him it wont to all. the others and last reached Neebo, who is only under sentence of imprisonment. Newspaper men had been rigorously shut out from the condemed men und all observations had to bo tnk«ti from the outside ofihe ensure ten yards from the cell door. It could bo dimly seen that each of the eondemed men tuade oston- tatious efforts at coolness and bravhdo, Capt. Blaok, counsel Cor the Anarchi>t>, announoes that he* will carry the case to the United States Supreme Court. I te this afternoon tho condemed men were allowed to take «zereise in the covered g«*io! court and sj>eak to their friends who were free!y admitted. Ths prisoners had agreed among thesiesclves to talk to no one ibr publication, aud all attempts to iutcrvicw them were resolutely resisted. ion must iu all timo to come be look- ed upon as the model delegate from Moira, THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION. Tho republican fctat* convention, held at Saratoga last week, is reported to havo*been a largd* harmonious and enthusfistic gathering. Senator Warn- er Mill or was mado permanent chair- man, and made an eloquent address. Senator Efarts, of New York, pre- sented tho name of Col. Fred Grant for Secretary of State, and he was nomi- nated bj acclamation. The balance of the ticket nominated is as follows: Judge L'Amoreaax, of Ballston, for Comptroller. „ James H. Carmiohael, of Buffalo, for Treasurer. Muj. James A. Dennison, of New York, for Attorney 'General. O. H. P. Cornell, of Tompkins, for State Engineer and Surveyor. Amongst the revolutions adopted by the couvention we append the following whioh to us has the \ ring of tho true metal,\ we don't care even if it did t'Dianete from a republican convention : \Wo adhere firmly to tho American policy, under whose operatfon unex- ampled prosperity and thrift htve bless- ed the land, and hold that any \change* to he made in tbe tariff laws should be made by the friends of those laws, in the interest of protection of labor on our own soil ana of hon>e markets, not by or in tho interest of free trade propa- gandists, nor for the benefit of foreign paoduoers and foreign tabor. National taxation should be BO adjusted as to raise revenue sufficient Ibr an economic and wise administration of the govern- ment, for the payment of the public ^ debt, for tbe devlopment of national resources and for national defense; but any reduction should be so Bade as not to impair the prosperity of home industries.
