UN. r 2anrastcc fiUeUcsencec. TUB8DAY EVENING, AUGUST 30, 188L Uabfr aBd Uatrae. Shortly after Mr. Gewen's departure for Europe the Philadelphia Ledger was used by his antagonists te publish a statement of a discovery that had been male that the subscription te the defer red bends, which Mr. Gewen had an nounced as full, had been made by certain , irresponsible and bankrupt parties. It turns out that this statement was false and known te hi se by Mr. Bend and his friends, who undoubtedly inspired the L'rfyer article ; for that journal is tee respectable te make statements, even for its friends, which it knows te be falsa ; at least such has been its reputa tion ; but it won't de for it often te be caught in such misrepresentation as it has certainly been betrayed into in this case, if it would preserve its fair fame. The fact is that the first pay man t has been made en the whole issue of ever thirty-four millions of deferred bends with the exception of less than eight millions, and payment upon that will be made as seen as the courts decide the lean te b3 lawful. Nearly two million dollars are in the hands of the receivers of the Reading railroad and of the Messrs. Glyn in Londen, bsimj the pro ceeds of payments se far made upon the deferred lean. It is, therefore, manifest ly impossible te charge that Mr. Gewen has falsely declared that the deferred bends have been responsibly taken. The money already paid upon the subscrip tions fully shows that. And the charge agaiqgt Mr. Gewen beiug itself shown te be false, recoils upon its authors, who are shown te b3 ready te resort te very low and unfair devices te accomplish their ends. The scheme of Mr. Gewen depends upon the decision of the courts as te its validity. Mr. Bend has net yet get se far as this with his plan. When he de monstrates that he can obtain the con sent of the creditors of the read te abate their interest in part in consideration of the receipt of a bonus in stock which they may be willing te de if the bonus is big enough, he will then have te show te the courts that he has the power te issue this additional stock. Mi. Gewen denies it te him, and en apparently geed grounds; declaring that no shares of the Heading read can be issued otherwise than upon the payment of their full par value in money; and that moreover the right held by the holders of the convertible bends te exchange their bends for stock, exhausts the shares the company can is sue otherwise than for construction pur poses. If these statements are correct, Mr. Bend's bends cannot be floated. Mistaken in the Man. The Philadelphia Press, correcting a statement of Mr. Murphy, the official reporter of the United Slates Senate, made te Gee. Alfred Tewnscnd. and printed in the Cincinnati Enquirer, that " Edgar Cowan Buckalew" was the ablest Pennsylvanian in the Senate in his time," takes occasion, in disentangling the two distinguished Pennsylvanians thusstrangely mixed up by the types, ') speak in term-; of just compliment cf Mr. Buckalew as a statesman ; but de scribes Mr. Cowan while net otherwise spsaking unkindly of him as " a geed deal mere of a politician than he is a statesman, and always has teen." Which clearly shows, te all who are acquainted with Mr. Cowan, that the Press writer dee3 net knew him ; for a politi cian is just what Mr. Cowan is net, and a statesman is just what he is. Mr. Cowan was tee little of a politician and tee much of a statesman te remain in the Republican party, when its course was opposed te his convictions. Ne well informed politician will declare that Mr. Cowan had any base motive of personal advantage moving him in the support he gave President Jehnsen, as a senator from Pennsylvania, and all who were brought into connection with him at that time, in his capacity as dispenser of government patronage, knew hew un ready he was in administering that part efhis senatorial functions. It was wholly distasteful te him ; though a very import ant part indeed te one upon whom it lay te fortify his political position. If Mr. Cowan had been a politician rather than a statesman, he would hardly have get away from his party while its senator ; at least net without a slice of it along with him big enough te control the politi cal situation. lie was like the president he followed, honest and earnest ; and it was this honesty that ruined them in the party they trained with, which had no use for the quality or its professors. The Philadelphia Times recommends the Lancaster county Democratic con vention, te be held te-morrow, te nomi nate the Republican candidate ferjudge, despite what it calls " his amiable errors of the past " and his " negative infirmi ties," which it thinks have been se em phatically corrected by "admonition from the supreme court that politicians won't be likely te claim the Lancaster courts as allies in the future." Sometimes the Times gives geed advice te the Democracy; sometimes it don't. In this instance we de net agree with it. Ner, from what we have-ascertained of the sentiment of the great body of the party in this county, have we any idea that itf is in sympathy with the proposi preposi tion. Besides, we cannot believe that Judge Livingston would feel any mere gratified ever a nomination given him at the Tunica's suggestion, simply because " his, election is as certain as the setting of the sun en election day," or generously .bestowed with an " honest admonition" " by " the commendable magnanimity" of its bestewers, than he has been disposed hitherto te accept in "geed spirit, " ho'n he'n est admonition" from his newspaper crit ics in Lancaster or Philadelphia. A change of heart never comes tce Lite, they say, te save the sinner, or re form the politician. .There is hope , for Edmunds since he recommends te a Republican state convention such legis lative declaration of the final authority of a state te declare its electors as would have counted Flerida for Tilden, if Ed munds had respected his oath and lis tened te his conscience in 1877 if he has a conscience. "When our esteemed contemporaries of this city, or the local correspondents of ether papers, publish that the Intel ligencer, or "the Intelligencer fac tion," or the editors of the Intelligen cer are for this man or against that man for any local Democratic nomination, they wilfully and deliberately say what they knew is net true. In proof of whicfr they need liet leek beyond their own columns,te find themselves repertingthe chief adherents of the candidate whom they call " the Intelligencer candi date," the very gentlemen in the party who, in the usual differences in the organization,almost invariably take sides against the Intelligencer, while a large proportion of the friends of the very candidates whom the Intelligencer is misrepresented as opposing, are as inva riably in sympathy with the Intelli gencer. The fact is, as any ordinarily well infermed person knows, that neither the Intelligencer, nor its editors, nor any of its attaches, se far as we knew, has taken any part in or exhibited the slightest partiality between different can didates, whose contest has no significance whatever, except an individual competi tion. The readers of our esteemed contem poraries will discover that for the truth of local politics they will have te consult the Intelligencer in Democratic as well as Republican campaigns. The awful possibilities of the present system of English spelling and pronun ciation were never better set forth than in the admirable paper of a New Yerk professor, which we publish en our first page te-day. "When " Turner" may be spelled " Phtholegnyrrh" with show of authority, and there can be made ever five hundred thousand combinations te spell " scissors" according te systems new in use, the time for reform is at hand, and it should net long lie delayed. m MINOR TOPICS. The five hundred Italian colonists ex pected at the city of Mexico will net reach there before the middle of October, the Italian government having established a quarantine against Mexican vessels. One of the Chinese students, en his way home from an American college, said te a San Francisce reporter that one of the principal complaints he has te make against this country is that there is, in the beard ing houses, " tee much hash niade out of remnants." Tm: Examiner and Nete Era reporters made an attempt te see which could outdo the ether in their blunders ever the accounts of the Democratic delegate elec tion, but they were both distanced by Mr. Levi Scnscuig's biographer, who writes te the Press that " the lights of the rival Republican factions in this county wcre moral affairs compared with it." Tkeujjlk is reported at the Mcnomeueo reservation, in Wisconsin, growing out of the presence of " strange Indians there, in connection with a secret organization known as the 'Dreamers.' " At last ac counts Agent Stephens and one of his daughters were prisoners at the agency, " his body guard " having gene te the "Dreamers'" camp. Troops have been ordered te the agency. A steiiy is published te the cflect that Collector Robertsen, of the New Yerk custom house, had arranged with Mr. Blaine te make a general clearing out of the clerks id his jurisdiction, se that the service could be reorganized upon a basis which would make is mere offective as a political machine ; and the report is that Secretary Windem positively and peremp torily forbade the removal a single em pleyee. The author of the article upon "house keeping hereafter," in the current number of the Atlantic Monthly, conceives a picture of a system which will arrange that all the operations of marketing, cooking, washing, heating, and se forth, shall be done for the families in a certain neighborhood at a central depot, with the effect te relieve housekeeping of most of the heavy burdens that new devolve upon it. The Philadcl phia Bulletin thinks at least the universal gas for fuel might be practically applied te the problem of co-operative housekeeping. Tun Prince of Wales, when he lay sick of typhoid fever, ten years age, began te mend the Sunday en which the doctors declared him as past hope, and which had been selected as a day of prayer in the united kingdom for his recovery. Charles O'Coner, six years age, was given up by his doctors,, who left his bedside and pro nounced him past hope and recovery ; but the old man of 74 rallied, even after the closing rites of the church had been per formed and the consecrated wafer placed in his mouth, and called for what he had long been begging, a pear, ate it, and is alive te-day. .

The chair which the Liberals of Green wich have presented te Mr. Gladstone is carved out of brown oak, and has a buff morocco covering edged with blue and sil ver nails. A plaque of silver bears a com plimentary inscription ; the chair runs en silver casters, and accompanying it is a footstool of the same materials and style of workmanship. Mrs. Wm. M. Vandeubilt is at Saratoga with sixty bonnets. The lace en her par asols alone would fit out many a society belle for the season, and her morning neg ligee arc alt elegant in their way as the full dress of evening. Lace, fine, filmy and exquisite, is used as though common as the sands of the sea, aud embroidery of the most delicate and elaborate descrip tion covers her silk -and satin carriage dresses, while all the dainty accessories of the toilet that women dote en, such as handkerchiefs, gloves, belts and lingerie, are of the most perfect and most expensive kind. King Kalakaua does net particularly admire the Parisians. His exceeding frankness te te the minister of foreign affair must hay astonished that effldaL " I am," he said, ' delighted with Paris. It is a city of splendid palaces. But when you have such public buildings, why de you net try and have finer men put in them ? The beauty of your palaces jars with the plainness of their inhabitants.' " This island king is also hopeful of main taining peaceful relations with European powers, as " the enormous distances that separate our countries are a guarantee that peace and geed will are established en a solid basis." This will be very comforting te England and Prussia.

Following is an extract from a letter written by Senater Edmunds declining te address the Worcester, Mass., Republican convention : " The history of your conventions shows that your political faith has come down in a living stream from the times of Samuel Adams and Jehn Hancock, and, like all great truths, it can be applied te the affairs of te-day as conveniently and justly as te these of a century age. The con test for the practical supremacy of our principles is one that, in the nature of tilings, rarely ends, for, in some form or ether, the safety of equal rights equal in benefit and equal iu burden is always menaced. Seme of the immediate mea sures for these fiual objects of geed gev crnmeut, I think, ought te be : Te pre serve and improve the laws for the secu rity of national civil rights ; te make as effective as possible previsions for the pur ity and fairness of congressional elections ; te establish by law the methods of ascer taining die results of presidential elections se as te give the conclusive effect the con stitution demands te the action of each state, and te prevent the exercise by the houses of Congress of anything in the nature of appellate or revisery power ever the action of the constituted author ity of the state in such cases ; te se improve the civil service as te diminish, aud, if possible, remove the evils of pjace-huuing aud the interchange of favors between the members of the legislative and execu tive branches of the government, and te free the tenure of a great number of offi cers from dependence upon political favor or political opinion ; te readjust the revenue laws with the least and nearest equal burden te the people, and of developing aud enceuragins the industrial pursuits of every calling of our citizens ; te bring both the theory and practice of the government iu regard te the currency te the point of a fixed and uniform metallic standard of values aud making coin only a legal ten der iu the payment of debts ; and te pro mote, se far as the national government cau lawfully de seethe increase and diffu sion of education among all the citizens, and in every part of the republic. Surely if I am right in these views, there is occu pation enough for our grand party te in duce us te drop all intei-nal rivalries and dissensions, wherever they may exist, and te strive, in unity and with zeal, for the success and I am confident will fellow. I de net doubt that the Republicans of Massachusetts will de their full share in this geed work." - Following Falsehood. Mr. Gewen writes te the editor of the Louden Times as fellows : A complete answer te the damaging es timates alleged te be made by Mr. Bond Bend ol the present condition of the company's property is te be found in the fact that its earnings for the present year will suffiee te pay all its fixed charges. Had theso who succeeded in clectiug Sir. Bend re frained from interfering with the old man agement of the company, the earnings would have sufficed for a small dividend te the shareholders. As te the allegations in the Philadelphia Ledger that the subscriptions te the de ferred income bends were net benijide, let me say that the Ledger disingenuously emphasises applications for thirty millions of dollars, in respect of which only seven millions eight hundred thousand dollars at par were allotted, aud payments upon these allotments would have been made at the proper time had it net been for the action of the court which restrained the issue, and provided that no forfeiture should ensue by reason of non-payment. Of the total issue of $34,300,000 there was allotted pre rata te shareholders $19,663, $19,663, 2e0, upon all of which, with the exception of $91,000, the first installment has been paiil ; of the remainder of the issue ($14, 634,750) allotted te bondholders, the first payment has been made upon all but $7, bl0,000, the money for which will be paid immediately upon the removal of the in junction ; and te obviate any appearance of injustice I shall advocate that imme diately upon such removal, a period shall be fixed for final payments, up te which period interest shall be allowed en prier payments. The plan of financial reorganization pro posed by Mr. Bend is illegal, in that it proposes te distribute new share capital as a bonus te bondholders for no ether con sideration than a surrender of their right te iuterest iu case it is net earned. But as they will retain their right te a higher rate of interest if earned, and as in my opinion such higher rate will be earned, certain bondholders, like Messrs. McCalmont Brethers & Ce., will gain a large bonus of shave capital te the detriment of ether shareholders who are net holders of the particular class of bends iu respect of which share capital is new proposed te be issued. Ne share capital of the Philadel phia & Reading railroad company can be issued as a bonus or in auy ether manner than upon payment into the treasury of the company of fifty dollars per share, acd iu addition te his legal disability, the right of the convertible bondholders te convert their bends into shares practically exhausts the power of the company te make a further issue of share capital for any ether purpose thau construction.

As hope returns, mere is learned in de tail of the terrible anxiety of last Friday. It appears that the surgeons, after the alarming symptom of the morning, de cided that it was useless te longer con tinue the struggle, and two of their num ber were selected te wait upon Mrs. Gar field and te inform her that medical sci ence could de no mere, and that she must prepare for the worst. The interview which occurred between these surgeons will, if reports are true, be regarded as one of the most dramatic inci dents iu this extraordinary case. Cap tain Henry Marshall, a friend of the presi dent and his family, says that Mrs. Gar field heard tbe news with great composure aud, smothering -her emotion, arose and said : "Gentlemen, you shall net give him up. He is net going te die ; he is going te live. I feel, I knew it. Ge back te your pest, every one of you, and leave it net until every remedy is exhausted ; until death itself has set his seal upon him, for I will net believe that he is dy ing. Ge back and de what you can ; you cannot de mere, but don't give up. I am his wife, and I say we will net give up until the end itself is upon us." Sirs. Garfield has never surrendered mere than a moment or two at a time te her grief, aud then she has retired te her room, and after a brief absence has returned te her pest of duty at the president's bedside. Mrs Edsen says that the president is doing splendidly. He is taking his nour ishment and she is extremely hopeful. Dr. Boynton, tee, is mere hopeful, and says he thinks he notices an improved condition in the bleed. There are also miscroscepic indicatiens'that the feed is assimilating -properly.

Rachel Salwen and Dera Wolff visited Glen Island for a day's amusement. While bathing and enjoying themselves in the water,the girls went outteo far. Mr. Von Ven Von Blemberg, the bathing master, repeatedly told them te keep further in shore, but they only laughed at him and continued their sport. As the tide was receding quite rapidly, Ven Blemberg saw their danger, although they did net realize it. Suddenly both girls disappeared beneath the water, but seen rose again. Mr. Ven Blemberg aud Police Officer A. W. Neble rowed out and brought them te shore as quickly as possible, aud two physicians who happened te be at hand used their best efforts te resuscitate the girls. They were unable te restore them te conscious ness. Dera Wolff, was an heiress, and in thrce mouths, upon her twentieth birthday would have iuherited $25,000. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. OUK LOCAL.
