Hlaok is very sick nt his homo m Lancaster. Candidates Taggart and Powell wore ontcrtaincd at Lancaster by the Jeffer son club on Monday. Ojoar Wildo has returned to this country. Ho lias had his hair cut, and has disoarded his velvet coat and knoo breeches. Ho says ho has como over to superintend the preparation of one of his plays and will remain about throo months. Tho result of tho dolegato election on Saturday has proven that tho time has como when tho people proposo to say for themselves wlio shall bo chosen to fill tho county offices. The assumption by a few men of tho power to name, nominate and elect whomsoever they chooso has already gone too long niiro buked, and it is a healthy indication when tho people show a determination to throw off this yoke. Men who are elected to county offices hereafter will do well to attend strictly to tho busi ness of their own departments, without attempting to dictate as to who shall hold all tho positions. It is evident that nothing can be ac complished by a continuance of the ses sion of the legislature. The senate has refused ovory offer that has bceu made it, standing on their ultimatum, and have carried out their determination to violate tho constitution,to trample on tho rights of tho people, and provont any legislative or congressional bills from being passed. Neither side will yield and it seems hardly worth whilo to con tinue tho fight any longer at an expenso of $3000 a day. Tho republican party is responsible for the extra session and its failure. Let tho legislature adjourn. Tho democrats can afford to go to tho people on that issue. Tho convention on Tuesday decided to count two voles for Buckingham in tho West Bloom district, where tho tickets pted contained the heading for the East district, and tho names of dele gates and committeeman for that dis trict. In tho present iustanco it hap pened to make no difference, but cases might arise where two votes would jhange the result very materially and in that emergency a convention should not aot hastily, and tho question should bo thoroughly discussed before acton is taken, and then decided without pro judico. As thero was no discussion, and tho result was not affected, the de cision of Tuesday's convention on this point ought not to bo taken as a pre cedent for the future. Whenover Democratic local authori ties are called on to deal with great thieves, whether thoy are of tho Repub lican or Democratic persuasion, thoy generally do it promptly and emphati cally. Boss Tweed, the great thief of Now York was brought to justice and ended his days in the penitentiary. Polk, the defaulting State Treasurer of Tounesseo, has been convicted under Democratic rule and sent to tho peni tentiary for twenty years, which also moans for lifo. But as soon as tho Re publican tribunal of Washington ac quitted tho great Star Route thieves, oven the Republican Governor of Ohio hastened to Washington, with many other leadors of tho party, to con gratulate tho thieves on their acquittal ! JSxt Slade, tho Maori, and Mitchell, the English pugilist, have discovered a place in tho Indian Territory, where they have mado every preparation to fight away to their hearts' content. Tho Territory being under tho United States law, and thero being no United States law against prize lighting, it is bcliovcd that tho bruisers will bo per fectly safo from all molestation. rl hoy will bo in oonvenient proximity to tho railroads, on which excursions will bo run at cheap rates. A frcat multitude of admirers of tho sport is expected to bo on hand, and tho principals in tho fight gleefully anticipate gathering in several thousand dollars to divide be tween them. If thoy should sucoeed in their intentions and should suffer no interference from the authorities, tho Indian T erritory will doubtless soon become tho favorite trystiug placo of prizo fighters who wish to indulge in an old-fashioned "mill'' with their naked "maulers." ViotorPiolet for Joseph Powell. A rumor has been circulated that Col. Piollct intended to oppose tho election of Hon. Josoph Powell as state treasurer. In viow of this fact a Pliila. J'ress correspondent visited him, and Mr. Piollct spoke a3 fol lows : "I have been a Democrat all my life," ho said, with a smile lightening up his face, "and at seventy -one I am too old to bolt. I havo learned, too, in all theso years, to sink personal feelings in tho interest of tho party, and this would bo my course now, oven if I wero averso to Mr. Powell's olectlon.

A conference of democratic senators and representatives was held in thb stato library Monday afternoon which wns in session thrco liours and was largely attended.

Tho democratic houso will therefore stick to tho work lictoro it. Thero is no wavering in the line. Sound on the Tariff. In his great speech on tho Tariff n -.-.. , il , ... . I - tr - isummisstvn, ueiivcreu in mo Jiouse of Jcj))'cneiitati4cs, May flth, 1882, tho Hon. Samuel J. Randall said : I do not favor tho tariff enacted upon the ground of protection simply for tho sake of protection, beoauso I doubt the cxisteuce of any constitutional warrant for auv such construction or tho grant of any Buoh power. It would manifes tly bo in tho nature of class legislation, and to such legislation, favoring one class .at tho expense of any other, I have always been opposed. in my judgment tins question ot tree trado will not ariso particularly in this country duriug our lives, if over, so long as we continue to raiso revenue by duties on imports, and therefore tho discussions of that principlo is an abso lute waste ol tunc. Alter our puulio debt is paid in full our expenditures can hardly be much below SliOO.OOO.UUO, and i! this is levied in a business like and intelligent manner it will afford adequato protection to every industrial interest in the United States. Tho as sertion that tho Constitution permits tho low of duties in favor of nrotcc- tion "for tho sako of protection," is equally uncalled for and unnecessary. lioth aro aliko delusory and not invol ved in any practical administrative pol icy, it brought to tho test i believe neither would stand for a day. Ito tection for tho sako of protection is prohibition, pure and simple, of impor tation, and it there bo no importation thero will bo no duties collected, and consequently no revenue, leaving tho necessary expenses ot the Government to be collected by direct taxes for in ternal taxes would interfere with the protective principle, and when the peo ple wero generally asked to bear tho burden of heavy taxation to sustain class legislation and tho interests of a portion of our people at tho oxpense of tho great bulk of our population, there would bo an emphatic and conclusive negative. So, too, with free trado ; there is hardly a man in public life who advocates it puro and simple. No body wants direct taxation, although it would bring taxation so near and so constantly before tho people that Con gress would hesitate long beforo it voted the sum of money it now does, if not for improper, at least for ques tionable purposes. Investigation Wanted. Dorsev is a public thief and a com mon dofaraer of honest men. Ho would not, and should not, bo believed in his revengeful accusations against those who employed him to carry Indiana in 1880 by debauchery and fraud, and then deserted 'him when his discraco could no longer bo concealed or ex cused. But two of his ' many accusa tions against the controlling Republi can leaders of 1880 seem to bo strongly corroborated by well-known circum stances, and aro so gravo in their char acter and consequences, that they shonid be dispassionately and exhaustively in- quired into. The two points presented by Dorsoy which demand moro than passing no tice, aro that tho favor of the govern ment to C. P. Huntington and Jay Gould and their monopoly interests, and tho appointment ot btanley Mat, thews to the Supremo Court, wero posi tively assured to Huntington and Gould, and that tho absolute proiniso of tho profits of refunding tho now gov ernment loan was given to a syndicate ot JNew xorK bankors. The alleged consideration for those disreputable bargains by tbo highest government of ficials, was tho support of tho Republi can tickot by all tho moral and mater ial power of Huntington's pud Gould's vast monopolies and giving them a Supremo Judge who was presumed to bo ready to givo generous judicial construction to laws affecting their en terprises. It is known that Gould and his as sociates and certain prominent Now York financiers contributed liberally to the Dorsoy corruption fund by which Iudiana was carried for tho Republicans in October, 1880. It is possible that thoy did it without the corrupt bargain declared by Dorsoy, and it is possiblo that Judge Matthews was both inno cent and ignorant of tho alleged pros titution of his high ofiico to mean ambi tion and inordinate greed ; but neither Gould or Matthews can afford to per mit tho charges to remain undisputed, whon so many strongly suspicious cir cumstances point to their correctness. Gould and Huntington may feel that thoy can better afford to bo suspected then to invito inquiry, but it is not so with Judgo Matthows, nor can an holi est Congress afford to permit a Su premo Judgo to be thus accused with out investigation aud an emphatio con demnation or acquittal. Tho common custom of Congressional f . ..1 t i investigations suiuiy lur iKirusuu pur poses, lias beoorao offensivo to tho cottn try, but tho corrupt coutrol of a Presidential election by any party, and tho prostitution ot tho power ot both tho Executive and tho Judicial depart ments of tho uovornment to debauch elections, demand tho most oxhaustive exposure and tho Bterncst punishment. Such an investigation can bo mado im portant only by stripping it ot partisan hims. and if tho new Democratic Houso elmll understand tho difforenco between an invohtigation prosecuted for tho ben efit of honest government and ono pro scouted for tho benefit of tho Democra tic party, it can greatly servo tho count ry and its party by probing tho Dorsoy running soro to tho bottom.

A Bibioal Discovery, AN AI.I.ErlEI) K ARM GST VEHS10N OK TUB TKN COMMAHIUIKNTS. A Mr. Shapira, of Jerusalem, a book seller and doalcr in auticiuities. has just deposited in the British museum litteen slips ot black sheepskin leather on which arc written, in characters si milar to those on tho celobrated Moa bito stone, portions of the book of Deuteronomy, differing materially from tho received version. Tho date of tho slipa is in the ninth century beforo Christ, or sixteen centuries oldor than any authentio manuscript of any part of tho Old Testament. Mr. Shapira bought them from an Arab, and ho asks for them 5,000,000 from tho British museum. If genuine, tho in terests and importance of tho discovery cannot bo overrated ; and, so far as variations in the sacred text aro con cerned, there is promise of ono of tho greatest controversies that scholars havo over entered upon. Tho decalo- guo furnishes a good example for com parison with the received version. I quote from tho Shapira record : 1 am Uod, thy Uou, which liberated thee from the land of Egypt from the house of bondage. Yo shallhavc no other Gods. Yo shall not mako to yourself any craven imago nor any likeness that is in heaven above, or that is in tho oarth beneath, or'that is in the water un der tho earth.

Another Victim for Niagara Tails. On next Tuesday afternoon Captain Julius D. Rhodes, tho diver and swim mer, will attompt to pass through tbo rapids in a suit of cork armor. Since Rhodes first began leaping front dangerous currents, somo years ago, ho has been preparing himself for a swim through the whirlpool. Tho day after Captain Webb's plnngo ho told his wifo and a few friends that ho had determined to provo himself a better man than Webb, and to swim tho whirlpool after exactly tho samo plans followed by Webb. For two weeks ho has been nt work preparing an armor to protect himself from tho concussions of the opposing currents. Tho armor is mado of pieces of cork ono aud a half inches long and seven eighths wide. Tho body part readies from tho armpits to tho leg abovo the kneo. A capo socured to a belt around tho waist by twelvo ruber straps, fas tens around tho neck, and reaching to tho hands covers tho nnns and shoul ders from tho thigh to tho neck, Tho armor is airtight and very strong. Rhodes asserts that besides giving a buoyancy of soventy-two pounds in tho water tho armor will protect him from tho sudden shocks among tho big waves. Captain Rhodes was born in Mon roe, Michigan, forty-ono years ago, Ho sorved three years in tho lato war, and for fifteen years has been a leader of theatrical bands, in heptomber, 1S77, he dove into Niagara river from tho biidi'e below tin' falls four times.

The deceased was only 21 years of ago, but from dis connected and incoherent stories of his friends it appears that about his career' thero is n great deal of romance. Enough is known to show that ho wns a vcritablo prince, tho illegitimate son of Oscar, king of Sweden. Ho was roared and educated by a princess, tho king's sister, but whether as part atone ment for her brother's sin or to gratify a royal whim is purely speculative. It is known that ho was brilliantly educat ed, but his iournev from tho mother country was besot with tribulation. Iu England tho pat ty ho was with becarao involved in a Btroot quarrel, and, to screen a companion, ho took his revol ver to load it. 11c was arrested, held until all his companions had gone, nnd then compelled to givo up all his trunks and clothing lie located in Lakeviow, but met with poor success, and finally went, to Euclewood, and thoro his struggles, ended.

It is possible, oven probable, that tho telegraph Btriko will end in a few days by tho submission of tho strikers. Thoy havo been ill paid for years ; tncir resources nro loeblo ; their wants are pressinc, nnd they must succumb to fate But !when tho strike shall bo thus ended, will victor or vanquished havo tho final victory? Tho organized labor interests of tho country nro earnestly interested spectators of this unequal contest, and they aro in a position to assort themselves in tho near future with omnipotence. Thoy will bo heard and obeyed where tho most vital interests of tho Western Union must bo passed upon, and will the defeated of to-day forbear when thoy shall bo mighty ? If Jay Gould and his associates aro blind to tho coming assertion of tho power of tho government against cor poration monopolies, they aro to bo pitied as well as blamed. They aro moro exposed in their Western Union monopoly than any others, and they will simply pilo up wrath against the day of wrath by madly assuming that when they shall conquer a few hun dreds ol starving operators tho contest is. ended. It would be only tho dictalo of the clearest wisdom and the acceptance of a most expedient policy, for the West ern Union to end tho strike by a liber al concession in wages and hours of service, based upon tho individual merits of its employes. It would not only end tho strike at onco and restore tho most ollicient telegraph service, but it would bring back employers and employed iuto tho unity that is essen tial to tho prosperity of both, and it would mako tho Western Union strong for tho future trials which are to con front it at an early day. It is wise as ltis just thattho West ern Union should end the strike by reasonable concessions to tho strikers. It is right ; it will pay best in tho ond, and it will bo a bulwark of strength just where tho master corporation is weakest. Theso are frozen facts ; let them bo considered and respected. Tunes. Is it Noah's Ark ? A party of Turks appointed to mako an investigation af tho glasiers and avalanches ot Mount Ararat havo an pounced to their government at Con stantinople that they havo found n gigantio structure of very dark wood protruding irom a mass ot ice, and that they believe it to bo Noah's Ark. ihcsu commissioners state in their re port that they made inquiries of tbo inhabitants concerning it, and wore in formed that they had seen it for six years, but wero afraid to go near it on account of a spirit of iicrco aspcot which was always looking out of an upper window, liut tins spirit, so ter riblo to tho natives, had no effect upon tho bold commissioners, and they set to work with a determination to get at it at any cost. It was imbedded in a glacier iu ono of tho almost impene trable glens of Mount Ararat, and it was only alter passing through great danger aud iHcrcdiblo hardships that thoy succeeded in reaching it. They lound it to bu m a good slate ot pros crvatiou, though tho angles had been somewhat brokon in the descent. There was an Englishman along with the party who saw that it was mado of the anciont gopher wood of Scripture, which only grows on tho plains ot tho Euphrates. An cntranco was effected into tho structure, which was painted brotvn, nnd it was found to bo divided into partitions fifteen feet high. Tho commissioners could get into only threo of theso as tho rest wero filled with ico. How far tho "ark" extend ed into tho glacier they could not tell. If, on being uncovered, it should bo found to be 300 dibits long it will bo strong ovidonces of tho structure being tho vessel in which Noah took his sail. Efforts aro to bo mado to dig it out of tho ice, and it is stated, an American has opened negotiations with tho local Pasha for Its transfer to tho Uuited States. If it should turn out to bo tho ancient ark of Noah and this country should get possession of it tho Ameri can uavy would havo to haug its head in shame. E.

A Lawyer's Palh JAM 1.8 I), l'AUKI'.lt's n.tOIIT rilOM Wll. i.iAMsroitr, Tho following dispatch Irom Wll llamsport to tho Philadelphia Times oi ino mn, concerns a man who is well known hero. For several days past tho town has been full of minora concerning tho flight of James (), Parker, senior mem ber ot tho law-firm of Patkor & Bent ley, after embezzling n largo sum of monoy collected by tho firm. As soon ns Mr. Bentlcy became awaro of the .!!.. .,...... j .. ijrj, Lin iMiuu ui iuh partner mo suspi cion nt onco Hashed on his mind that all was not rmht nnd hu started for New York Monday niirht. Aumist C. to sco it no could get nny traco of him. This morning Mr. Bcntloy returned from his search nnd states that Parker loft Williamsport suddenly Monday nignt, ,iuiy nnd proceeded to JNew York, where ho nrrived Tuesday morn ing and registered iu his own lintm nt tho Hoffman House. There he re mained until tho following Saturday morning, when ho paid his bill Mid left, ami froin that tune forth no fur ther trace of him could be discovered. In tho meantime Mr Hentlev learned that Parker had called on a firm of brokers doincr buxincss in Pino street on Friday, nnd informed them that ho hold a draft on New Voik and might want to bo indentificd. as ho thouuht of making a tender of purchase money for a property that ho contemplated b,iy ing, nnd, whilo the draft was good, ho feared that it would not bo accepted as a legal tender and ho would hare to get tho currency ; therefore, he asked tho broker to indentify him fer that purpose. On the 3 1 Bt of July, nhout noon, he call ed on tho brokers had the draft endorsed, was indentlllod and drew the mouev at tho Chemical National Bank. Tim draft was drawn by the Williamsport National Bank for !?0,720 nnd was mado payable to tho order of .1. O. Parker. This money ho had received from C. Laruo Munson, of William sport, it being paid to him for cer tain lots in this city bought of tho estate of R. W. Sbenk of Lancaster, jor wmcn ino m m wero acting ns at torneys. Mr. Bentlcy is so overwhelm ed with the disaster which has over taken him that ho is unable to say at this time what tho exact amount of Parker's embezzlement is, but ho fears that it will run up to $30,000. as now things aro constantly developing. When l'arkor absconded it is thought that ho had ahont oho thousand dollars in his pocket, which, witli tho draft ho collected in New York, would mako S7, 720 that can bo traced, but as it is now evident that his peculations had been going on for somo timo, it is thought that ho might have got together over twenty thousand dollars, which he car ried away with him. Whilst tho amount of tho different sums ho appropriated at various times has not yet been definitely traced it is reported that ho owed Jacob Tome, of Port Deposit, somo $3,000 ; John G. Reading $3,000, and other parties some $3,.'i00. It was only yesterday that an accommodation note for $300 on a bank in New Jersey was protested. Somo time will doubtless bo required to bring all his crooked transactions to lirrht. Tho case is a peculiarly distressing ono, as it involves so many parties. (Jno Of tho worst features about it is that Par ker induced a young girl of this city, the daughter of highly respectable parents, to elope with him. She is scarcely out of her teens. Tho suppo sition is that they sailed for Europe together. James Oscar Parker was born iu Boston May 2-1, 1845, was educated at Charlestown High School and Har vard University. Ho studied law at the Albany Law School and was ad mitted to the bar May 8, 1SG9. He located at Williamsport May, 1808, and a few years afterward the firm of Parker & Bentlcy was founded and for several years it had been doing a flourishing business. Parker married in 1809 a highly accomplished and ele gant lady of this city, whom, with a son about twelvo years of age ho aban doned. They occupied a splendid residence on Fourth street and moved in tbo highest circles of society. Parker wns a highly educated and polished man, of refined tastes. He was rather reserved but when ono becamo acquainted with him ho was very social and companion able, on account of his fine breeding and conversational powers. Ho is thirty-eightyears of ago, medium height, figure somewhat slender, blnek hair, black whiskers, black eyes nnd good looking. At tho time of his depart ure ho held tho position of librarian in tho Sunday school of Trinity Episcopal Church and was looked up to and re garded as an exemplary and moral man. Two years ago hu visited Europe for pleasure. His partner, B. Stewart. Bentlcy, whom ho has left iu tho lurch to tho oxtent of $15,000 or $20,000, is a son of tho lato Judge Boctlcy and a gou tlemnn who is respected and honored by all who know him. It wns largoly owing to his confiding disposition and tho habit of always looking on tho rosy side of overythiug that ho was de ceived and overwhelmed before ho knew it. Tho sympathy for him in this community is pronounced and strong. Parker, ovideutly from his knowl edge of law, know where ho could floe to with safety, as, if ho has gono to England, our extradition treaty does not cover the crime of ombezzlciueiit and ho can dwell there with impunity. His flight is not only a surpriso but a shock to his friends, ns ho was regard ed tho very soul of honor, and a week ago no ono could havo bolioYed that ho was capablo of committing such a Bcries of crimes.
