LANCASTEK DAILY INTELLIGENCEIl TUESDAY MAY 16 1882. ILanrastrr -nirlliacncet. TUESDAY EVENING; KA726, is Blowing his Own mra. & Seme people, who ape -prprisetpat Senater Mitchell's sudden vigor, declare' that Blaine is behind it and that this Me Me phistepheles in politics is setting up the whole Independent movement in Penn sylvania against the Stalwarts. Ne doubt it has his sympathy; but there isne need te suppose that he is the father' of it. It has plenty of substantial cause for coming into being ; the wonder would rather be if the revolt against the selfish Cameren ian rule did net break out. What have the rebels te lese by their action ? Loek at Senater Mitchell, sitting in the Senate as a represenative of his state, who ought te be equal i in influence te his associate, bAtifiading'tnaE-the'-nvhele political power of the senatorial position is grasped by Cameren. What has he te lese by revolt? As long is there was a chance of his losing anything he was quiet; but when it became perfectly clear that he was entirely ignored by the Republican adodnistratjen, .self respect and policy both required that he should show that ljc thing could .net .be done with impunity. A senator of any strength at all would net submit te being slighted. He would necessarily require that he should be treated by the presi dent with the like consideration that was bestowed upon his colleague. And if lie net only failed te receive this, but found his voice entirely 'im potent with the administration, he would take the opportunity, if it was afforded him, of .showing that he could net be kicked around like an old shoe. In this case Senater Mitchell happened te have behind him a constituency, re spectable in quantity and quality, who were treated as he was. He was a representative man ; and he only shows himself te be a man by stepping out te the head of his ill-tieated constituency and telling them te put up their arms in self defense. Senater Mitchell has acted with much forbearance se far, but there is no need te suppose that any influence but that of his own sense of what was due te his position has prompted him te the decided and emphatic action he has taken. There will be music in the air, and Elaine will lie foremost in the band ; but we believe that Mitchell himself is fully able te blew the big horn he has taken up. In a Bad Way. The breach in the Republican party of this hUitc shows no signs of healing, and as the contest here attracts attention and sympathy from outside the chances of a such reconciliation are lessened. The' friends of the administration seem te regard the Mitchell belt as inspired by lilaine. Unquestionably the revolt against Oliver's election was stiffened by encouragement from Blaine, if net by assurances en the part of Garfield, and if Blaine or any ether factor in national politics interferes, openly or secretly, in the Independent movement here, it takes en a larger than local interest and forebodes that disintegration of the party at large, which has been looked for se many years. The 'assurances of support, which Mr.- Mitchell is reported 'te be receiving from every part of the state, indi cate a large following for him, and these who have linked their fortunes in the Independent leadership. If te this circumstance shall be added the threatened declination of Tem Mar shall, the Cameren cause will be in a bad way, sure enough. Without Marshall the ticket will be exceedingly Aveak in the West, and the offensive methods of its nomination have aroused an opposi tion te' it in the ether portions of the slate, which no personal popularity of its nominees can possibly overcome. Xer can either party te the present factional issue recede from its position without defeat and disgrace.' The day for com promise came and waited en the day for concession. The convention was hardly adjourned until the Independents saw that the pretext of having had mere than half the ticket conceded te them was a sham, and that the professions of the platform were "hollow, hollow, hollow." Only the stupid were deceived, and the cause is just as strong without them. The fight against Cauiereuism aud Stalwart ism may as well be fought out in Penn sylvania, for nowhere are their men and methods mere obnoxious. The Apparent Strike. The iron workers of Cleveland, num bering live thousand, have ceased te work, and twenty-five hundred coal miners in that region declare that they will de the same if their .demand for an increase of wages is net complied with. There is an apprehension that the meet ing of the Iren Workers' association at Pittsburgh en Saturday will result in a strike there. The Philadelphia rolling mills, having reduced their card rate for iron te two and six-tenths cents per IMJiind, it is feared that the employees there will refuse te consent te the reduc tion in their wages, which they have heretofore agreed that a reduction in the price of iron should bring about. These strikes and rumors of strikes at this time are unnatural, because there is no apparent reason for them. The work men are being well paid and the manu facturers are working at very close prices. The profits of manufacture being small and the demand light it is certainly far mere against the interest of the work man than of the employer that manu facture should step. A demand for lusher wages, when business is slack, is net justified by geed sense. We de net consider it, therefore, likely' tliata strike will be promoted by the workingmen's unions. The manufacturers are in feo geed a position te meet it te make its suc cess probable. Their interests would suf fer tee little by a stoppage of their works te make them very willing te pay very high for the privilege, of manufacturing. The workmen are net ijbels and they knew well enough,that this is net their opportunity -a- Amid the despairing wails of Hear and Dawes the nomination of Reland Wwlhingleii., a Stalwart of the Stal- warts, te be collector of the pert of Bos Bes Bos eon, was kited through the Senate es ter'day,. afternftm wjik xmly Jeurftten fctesiin JDJppeBitfe n, All-that'remilns lAw ffer&r. Afthur-te rign the m- issJ6n eMiis frfendi'in the -BesUrwal of another rich prize In. the lottery win have been completed, 'der own Senater Mitchell, who was one of the spartan band of nays, must view these proceed ings with especial interest, as the vote en -this nomination may be Haken as a fair estimate of the anti-administration strength in the Senate, and indicate the part he may expect te play in the distri bution of government pap since he sounded his slogan of defiance.

"Manny May" seems te have been lest, strayed or stolen, and the substitute furnished by the weather bureau turns out a very peer and imperfect article. Tnc substitution of a "b" for a "p in the Bosten Advertiser's otherwise beau tiful account of some Emersen memorial services made a Una of a poem appear : "We brayed and. sang together." Tub first spring chicken's crew will be heard from the far-off slopes of Oregon this year. The election of governor and congressman takes place . en the 5th of June. Tub friends of Arthur in New Yerk are beginning te express, in characteiistically plain terms, their views of the se called "boiling movement" at Harrisburg. They say they are certain that the hand of Mr. Blaiue is back of it, and that its real purpose is te make a second term for Mr. Arthur is out of the question. The Com mercial Advertiser, a recognized Stalwart organ, says : "All thesigns indicate this ;" then adds, "Barker, who slops ever en all occasions, let the cat out of the bag when be announced that ' the work of the late convention calls upon the Independents te make war en Cameren and Arthur.' " Equalled by low and excelled by none is the following definition furnished by the New Yerk Herald in reply te the query of Harper's Weekly, " What deeB half-breed mean ?" : " Well," says the Herald, " a half-breed is a politician just as eager for the spoils as the ether, but equally eager te make men believe that he is net in the least anxious ou that point. He has all the vices of the out eut aud out spoils hunter, with the vice of hypocrisy in addition. He is a man who can snivel through the uese about civil service for four, years or e ight or twelve when he is net in power, and then cast civil service te all the winds of heaven in the first half hour in which he obtains a position that might enable him te put his theories in practice if he wcre honest-. In fact, a half-breed in politics is just like a half-breed between two races he has the vices of both parents or parties and the virtues of neither. " ' Tun tone of the Republican press in Ohie and Iowa is extremely despondeut, and the newspapers declarb that the recent sumptuary legislation in theso states, which was conceived and excuted in the hope of catching the "religious" vote, has net only failed of that purpose by reason of the quick intelligence of the people seeing through the transparent veil with which it was hoped te conceal an unworthy make shift, but has actually alienated the large German vote, together with a considerable proportion of ether de cent aud shrewd people Heretofore the Germans of the West, except ou merely local issues, have voted almost solidly with the Republican party ; new their own newspapers declare that their -strength will" be transferred .te the Democratic ticket iu the approrehing elections. ' Te Jicar the Republican' organs preach of the moral courage exhibited by their party in enacting these laws that have recoiled se disastrously upon their framerp is amus ing and -does net. call for serious considera tion. Persons with ordinary perception could net fail te see In the blundering do de vices of the Western law-makers another frantic gasp by the party of expediency te maintain its fast waning powder, who in this instance seem te be heist by their own petard.

If these bills were made public a geed many so se called statesmen would net be nominated for Congress this year. I have seen the bills and I knew what I say. It will pro bably be a surprise te a geed many people te knew that Judge Tayler, the chairman of our special committee, put in a bill te cever a few dollars expense in going from his home at Warren, Ohie (net a great ways from Menter), te Cleveland, and that Speaker Keifcr likewise put iu a bill of expenses in going te Cleveland from his home at Springfield. I could also mention names of members who put in bills for railroad fare, when as a matter of fact they rode en annual passes. Thcre is a mine in some of the bills for the news papers te work, and I hope, as a warning for future statesmen, that they will con cen con tinue te demand the bills, until the pres sure becomes se great that the Heuso will be forced te order them made public." m PERSONAL..

CAMERON AND JilTCHELL BOTH FKKX Tem Marshall's Frefcable vecllnatlm Trouble All AIM tistfUaw-M: ages Frem .the foeyM-'De- ' nenaclng the Beem. Senater Cameren will net ask for the withdrawal of the nominations of Jacksen and KaulTman, and both men will be con firmed this week. Senater Mitchell asked Mr. Cameren if he intended te push Jack Jack eon aud KaulTman through the Senate, the senior senator replied in the affirma tive. Mr. Mitchell called Mr. Cameren's attention te the editorial in the Press en the subject of the objectionable nomina tions, that contained the views of Mr. Marshall, candidate for congressman-at-large, en the removal of Mr. Sullivan. The senator read the editorial and said, se far as ex-Collector Wiley, or the Ninth district is concerned, there was cause for his removal. Jacksen he regarded as a mau et irreproachable character, and he should insist upon his confirmation. A member of the delegation, who has con versed with the senior senator en the sub ject of the contested nominations, says that he does net believe there is any gen eral demand for the retention of cither Sullivan or Wiley. Their successors were both nominated prier te the convention, and the new appointees met with the ap ap ap probatieu of all representatives excepting theso Independents who would net be satisfied with any appointment that Mr. Cameren was supposed te have influenced. He does net think the withdrawal of Jack Jack eon and Kauffman would tend te smooth ever any dificrence in the party, because the Independents who are fighting him personally would never credit him with any disposition te yield a point. On the contrary, they would regard it as a victory accomplished by their threats, and would take the occasion te renew war en every Pennsylvania appointment that the presi dent might see fit te make from within the ran ks of the regular organization. This gentleman says Mr. Cameren feels that the representatives of the state have nominated a ticket that every Republican can support. Every demand made by the Independents, as the result of the peace conference, has been granted, lhrce et the candidates en the ticket are Independ ents, and if in the face of the fair spirit shown at Harrisburg, gentlemen who have hcretofero acted with the Republican party feel they can best promote its inter ests by opposing it, the senator is power less te de anything mere. This gentleman said Mr. Camcreu felt disappointed that he had received no credit for bis effort te bring about geed feeling between the fac tious, but he presumed every disposition manifested by the regular organization te correct the abuses complained of by the Independents would be considered a con cession wrung by force from the Regulars, and net an honest endeavor te keep all elements in accord for the benefit of the party in the state aud te the credit of the Republican party of the nation. INDUHS1NUMB. MITCHELL. Cheering Messages Frpm Over The State Washington Disnatch te The Times, If anybody could have any doubts as te the genuineness of the Independent boom iu Pennsylvania huch doubts might be set at rest by a glunce at the mass of letters daily received by Senater Mitchell. These letters come from every part of the state and from representative men of every county. They come by hundreds. Since the convention every mail is burdened with the evidence that the junior senator has struck the popular chord. Every letter breathes the spirit of self-congratulation that in this movement of political reform a senator from Pennsylvania has risen te the demands of popular leadership. They are congratulatory, suggestive, con donmatery of bnssism and full of patiietic fire. -By request the Times correspondent was Bhewn some of these letters taken at random from the hundreds recently re ceived and permitted te get brief extracts. In no ether way could the diverse ideas of representative people of Pennsylvania be better presented, perhaps, than in the following excepts. Here is what an Inde pendent member of last year's Legislature telegraphs : "Your first order is glorious. New te the- psople. Bossism is deemed." Frem a letter received te day from a prominent Philadelphia Republican and member of the Union Leage : "I was se delighted te read your dispatch te Mr. Merrick, published this morning, that I hope you will excuse this expression of my feelings, It has the true ring, and if your advice is followed it will make Independents regulars." Here is one from a prominent member of the committce of one hundred.: " We are rejoiced ever your dispatch, published this morning. It has the clear ring. JfuDIic opinion is coming around allrigut.' This is from a letter by an editor of a Republican paper in southern Pennsylva nia. He says: "I cannot resist the temptation te write you my hearty ap proval of your course iu taking the ma chine bull by the horns. The best inter ests of the future of our grand old party demand its liberation from the continued control of the machine power, and I am delighted te sec you step te the front as one of the leaders of the true Republicans of the Key stone." A representative man, who was a delegate te the convention of 1880 and who had a brother in the late Harrisburg convention, writes, "Your pretest against the Cameren dynasty is joyfully received here iu this boss ridden county. The elimination of the only important clause from tlie conference resolutions, the one relating te representation, leaves Cameren in possession of all the minority counties, and with the assistance of his few lieuten ants in Republican circles, he is able te control the conventions. 1 was. in the con vention en Tuesday." Speaking of a dele gate in the convention the wiitcr says : " I knew his sentiments, which are auti auti Camereu, but he dare net assert his preferences, he being the post master of ; dare net, or off would go his head. He is a young man just beginning in life, and his cir cumstances are such that he may net defy the bosses as I did in 1880. Dear Sena Sena eor, if our beloved Garfield had lived Cameren would net have nominated Gen. Beaver. Had he been alive this delegate and scores mere like him would have gene te Harrisburg free men. Hew unfortun ate for our party was Garfield's death. One man only of the delegates from this county had the manhood te threw off Cameren's yoke and vote as a freeman in the convention. Immediately he was threat ened and badgered by theso people and told that his political life would be taken. They even in the bacchanalian revelry made bold te assault him in his room athis hotel. Such base means as these are em ployed te terrorize and bull-doze Repub licans. I can't hear this any longer and hundreds of my personal friends say they cannot. Wc will net fellow in the foot steps of this cerrnpt and unpatriotic herde any longer. Ge en and nominate a straight clean Republican ticket and you will bury Cameren aud his Philistines forever." WILL fllAUSUALL DECLINE? i The I'lttKUurcn " Dispatch" Says he Will Net Itun en Either Ticket. The Pittsburgh Despatch says : "It may ue larau mi- graniea mat Marshall, the Republican nominee ler cengrcssmau-at-large has decided te decline the nomination. Twe premineut merchants, old clients of Mr. Marshall, called ou him yesterday (Monday) for the purpose of urging him net te accept the nomination. After they had talked te him for some time," he said, "That matter is passed advice. I will net take it. I will net leave my motherless children for an office that comes in this way." .Te a prominent Independent who called ea hum later in the day with a re quest ttat he permit his name te be used in the convention of May 24, Mr. Marshall said : ii De net nominate me. I will net be' a candidate upon any ticket." inis will make room for Hugh Fleming, of Allegheny, one of the reform within the party men. It is stated en unques tionable authority that it was arranged at .Harrisburg immediately after Marshall's nomination te turn it ever te Fleming in case he should decline. The object of this is te have a member of the state ticket in Tem Bayne's district. This would require Mr. Bayne te come out boldly one way or the ether, and might aid in carrying out the plans te prevent his renomina renemina renomina tien. Mysterious Disappearance. Rebert Kilwertb, of Dayton, Ohie, died suddenly en the steamer Abyssinian while she was quarantined at New Yerk en the 18th inst.

It is new said that Kilwertb, who was returning from England after establishing his claim te a property worth $25,000 had no nephew with him, and that his body shows marks of violence.

On the first of May, Christian Hunch bcrger and au elderly companion, named Mowry, dreve around te several of the hotels in this city for the purpose of put ting up sale bills. On reaching Renin's hotel, Seuth Queen street, Mr. Ilunch berger went inside, leaving Mr. Mowry te hitch their horse. While thus engaged, Jeseph Derwart and Samuel Heilmau, both of whom were intoxi cated came along and made an in sulting remark te Mr. Mowery, which he mildly resented. Derwart ' then knocked his hat off and took him by the neck.

They theu beat aud kicked him shamefully. lie made complaint et assault and battery against them before Alderman Barr, and the hearing took place yesterday afternoon. The case of assault and battery was fully made out and the alderman demanded hail for the appear ance of the accused at court. It took sonie little time te sccure the bail, and in the meantime the complainant and de fendants get into a conversation -about settling the case, the latter agreeing te pay the costs and Mr. Hunchbcrger agree ing te withdraw the complaints all el which was right and proper. But Dis trict Attorney Davis was present, claim ing te represent the commonwealth, and Gce.W.Eaby, clcik of quarter sessions was present, representing his own con tingent interests. Mr. Davis declared the camplaint could net be withdrawn ; that it must go te court. "Hew am 1 te get my fees, and hew is Eaby te get his fees, if the case is settled ?" inquired Mr. Davis, with much warmth. The complainant insisted that he didn't want te prosecute the case any further and the defendants were willing te pay the alderman's and constable's costs, and thus avoid trial in court ; but " my costs and Mr. Eaby's costs" were what the dtstrict at torney was looking after, and he absolutely bulldozed Derwart into paying $20.85, and Heffmau $22.77, before he would consent te a withdrawal of the camplaint and alderman Barr permitted him te de se !

In the supreme court yesterday argu ment was heard en the assignments of error taken in the case of Jehn Ceyle, jr., who was tried and convicted of murder iu Yerk county and sentenced te be hanged. The facts of the case are fresh in the minds of our leaders. It will be remem bered that Ceyle was a young man, twenty six years of age, living with his father and mother en the bank's of the Susquehanna liver, opposite Marietta in Lancaster county. " He was the only child. There had lived with the Ceyle family for seme time in the ca pacity of tiircd girl a young woman named Emily Myers, te whom Ceyle became greatly attached. Ills attentions wcie avoided by the girl, who did net seem te uaru uuuugu iui uiiu luuiairy uuu. xuiuy in tbe morning of the 10th of May last Emily pet up and went out te milk the cows. Mrs. Ceyle, who slept in the same room with the girl, remained in bed, and shortly after Emily had left -the house heard tbrce sounds " similar te these of pistol shots. She get up and called for the girl, but no answer came, and when she went cut toward the barn she met her son, who told her that she need net call for Emily, as he had shot her dead. He said he was also going te die from self-inflicted wounds. He claimed that the girl had premised te marry him, and that he went te the barn te see if she was going te be as geed as her word. She said "Ne, I won't have you nor any ether man." Ceyle then- told his mother that he told Emily he would sheet her. for no ether man should have her. He said she dared him te de se, and throwing herself back, said, " Sheet me right here ! Sheet me quick !" Ceyle drew his revolver and shut the young woman, He also fired two shots into his own body. The young woman never speke alter she was struck, 'but. died instantly. Ceylo recovered, and was tried for the murder, which resulted in his conviction.
