LANCASTER DAILY INTE L V lttENCJGli, MOND AY, NOVEMBER 20. 1883. Hanraster Jjntdttgencet. MONDAY EVENING NOV. 20. 1893, The Equity or the Case. When Chalmers ran for Congress as a Democrat and was defeated he obtained a certificate and got the seat, from which he was afterwards ousted, on the ground that in the printing of his opponent's tickets a two-cm dash was used to separate the names of the candidates. This da3h was held to be a " distinguishing " mark, and ChaMers contended that under the legal prohibi tion of these tickets in Mississippi they ought not to have been counted, and that he was elected by the minority who voted for him. The Republicans in Congress refused to take this view of it and the Democrats were not willing to filibuster In support of it. Hence Chal mere left his former party, went to the Republicans and wa9 welcomed with open arms by those who had so lately denounced him as a Bourbon bulldozer and the infamous murderer of Fort Pillow massacre notoriety. Like Ma hone and Moshy and every other rene gade thief and scalawag who has gone from the ranks of, tho Democracy to Re publican ism, Chalmers was given dis tinction at once, and in tiie late election he ran for Congress in a new district as the regular Republican nominee and re ceived a majority of the votes. Now it seems that, through a "clerical error1' or some kindred device to those which cheated Tilden out of the presi dency, 1,472 votes cast for Chalmers were counted oir-a tally sheet to "J. R. Cham bless," and after vain attempts of Chal mers to have Ilia f rror righted, the sec retary of state has adhered firmly to the letter of the law, and declared the result to be " Manning re ceived 8,740 ; Chalmers 8,257, Carter 120, Chambless 1,472, Lo wry l.M Hence the governor has issued the certificate to Manning. The case against Chalmers is on all fours with that upon which he claimed his seat in the present Congress. It is vary much stronger than the cases which were invoked to count out Mr. Tilden, and the decision of it by the Mississippi secretary of state is strictly in accord with the disposition of a similar matter by the Republican canvassers in Penn sylvania In 1880. In some counties in thisstato Edgar Pinchot, onef the Re publican electors, was voted for as "Edward Pinchot." and as a result the official returns, made by a Republican board, show that while the other Re publican electors received about 444,700 votes there were 43S,704for Edgar Pinchot and u,101 for "Edward rinchot" thoughjno such man was running, and it was well understood that these votes were all meant for the same man. The '' letter " of the law was allowed to kill ; and in a close contest this decision might have settled the presidency. The courts have recently gone very far in maintaining equity in these cases and in directing votes to be counted for the candidates for whom they were in tended to ba cast when that intent can be made obvious. This is right. In the special case under review,while the secretary and governor may be act ing technically in accordance with their sworn duty, as they seem to be, Congress will undoubtedly rectify t'ae wrong done. It has power to go behind the returns, and, disreputable and dishonest as Chalmers is, this should be done. It is not to the point that upon his own construction ot the law Chalmers is waneuuuu x.'ie jaw snoma not De oent trom the direction which common sense and common 1 lonesty give it for or against Chalmers, nor by reason of his readiness to abuse it to his own advantage. Let the dirty dog have his seat, to show the country that the Democratic party is brave enough and strong enough to do justice even to the advantage of those who betray and assail it. Why the Steel Works Stop. The Bessemer steel works at Scranton have stopped the production of rails and a correspondent from that point of the Philadelphia Pres endeavors to charge the result to the Democratic victory and to the consequent change of the tariff anticipated; for which deduction there is no ground whatever. The manager of the works says they have stopped be cause of the light demand for railB, and it was not their policy to manufacture a stock of rails in advance of ."orders for them, because hardly two roads use the same size, weight and shape of rail. He gives the true reason for the stoppage of the steel rail manufacture. Railroad building has come to a halt, and that has halted the rail mills. The Democratic success can hardly be charged with the stoppage of railroad building. That has been over-stimulated and has been quieted by the failure to induce capitalists to continue their lav ish expenditure in that line of specula tion. It has ceased to be profitable. Rail road securities are depressed. The mar ket for them has gone, and with it the market for rails. The Bessemer steel rail makers have had a very profitable business for a few years past. They could not mako rails fast enough for the demand, and they sold them at a price which euables the railroads to impart European rails. The manufacturers here did not care how many rails were Imported so that they had all the business they could do. They spent their profits largely in in creasing their facilities ; and when the demand fell off and they made more than were wanted they dropped their price at once and shut out the European product. The demand still decreasing,they have curtailed their production and still fur ther lowered their pric&They could afford to decrease it still further, if they could get orders by so doing, because their rails do not cost them forty-five dollars a ton ; but they cannot sell them at any price in the quantity they. are able to manufacture. The tariff has nothing to do with the depression of their trade. They have the command of the whole home market, but the trouble is that the market cannot take their product. Tub Examiner calculates that Mr. Pattison's minority is 81,170. By the same mle it might figure out that its 1 parly and candidate are in a minority in -t-Kicf otnfn fit 111 Ri una OWLU Wl l,Jt. ' Apbopos of the alleged mis-return of 1,472 votes cast for Chalmers, by which it is claimed he has lost the results of 'lis election, it is to be recalled that the tally sheets for our late state election as first issued by the Allegheny county commissioners had Mr. Pattison's name incorrectly printed "Robert F." Had these gone out and the returns been made upon them, the Republican return ing board of the slate might have had a chance to deprive him of 10,000 votes. It is needless to say that in such an event or in case of any similar general attempt the Democratic itate committee was pre pared to claim for Mr. Pattison all the votes intended for him, and to call upon the people to sustain that claim. And they would have answered. Mr.. Pattisox, with characteristic good sense, declines a military escort to the inauguration add emphatically pro tests against any tawdry display or at tempt at pomp on that occasion. He insists that there shall not be any expen diture of public money, and digniQesthe occasion by ascribing to it the real sig nificance with which it is invested. Mr. Pattison was of full stature in the pub lic esteem before, but he grows no little with his last forcible and sensible letter. A rBKTTT COSOEBT.

SocrAT, oircles in Western Pennsylvania are agitated over the marriage of a wealthy widow of Latrobo lo an inmate of the Westmoreland county house. As it is tho lady's lourth matrimonial venture, the giddy thing can't play off tho innocent girlishucss dodge and try to prooure a separation on the ground of undue influ once as soon as she finds the nuptial fetters beginning to chafe. While as for the proud bridegroom he has been fed long enough on poorhouse bull beef to warrant tho belief that he will prove a pretty tough customer for his festive partner, and will likely enough develop staying qualities that will puzzle even her accom plished art. Ox Thursday of next week tbo peoplo of the United States will unite in render ing asknowledgments to the Author of every good and perfect gift for tho mani fold blessings he has showered upon the land during the past twelve months. The day indicated, 30th inst., has been named by the president and the executives of many of the states as a time for generd thanksgiving. Here in Pennsylvania, as elsewhere, wo have much to be thankful for, and we venture to believe that with the near approach of Thanksgiving day, now close at hand, the ".'gobble, gobble, gobble" of the proud turkey a he fattcnp for the dinner table, makes music sweeter than ever in the ear of "a large majority" of the people of this good commonwealth and of her sister states. The amenities of domestic life were oharmingly exemplified in the home of an uoconiproming Democrat, Mr. John F. Ncol, of Mifflin township, Allegheny county, who celebrated the great political tulal wavo by a gathering at his residence. having the parlor walis ranared with c,pi3 of Democratic papers containing illustrations of roosters. From a lama cake in the centre of the supper tablo there projeotcd tho top of a coon's tail, to which was pinned a card bearing the words, " Will return in '84." Mrs. Neel is an ardent Republican and she evidently meant to convey to the assembled guests that she had some say in tho domestic ar rangements of that house. Which is as it should be. Though, ftom all appearances, as a prophet she is not likely to ba a shin iog success. Stbicti.t in tho line of tho Istelliqkjt CEb's repeated Buggestions the Philadel phia Timet sensibly aays : " The wisest thing that Representative Fauuce and his colleagues in this city can do would be to call another conference not to part the plunder of the House, but to make a dis tinct and emphatic deliverance against all netdlesj officers and employees about the Legislature and in favor of honest govern ment under all circumstances. Such a declaration would command respect throughout tho state ; it wonld strengthen the Philadelphia candidate for speaker as an avowed representative of public econ omy and integrity, and it would squelch the little Hungry Brigades likely to spring up in every section of the state to force their representatives to continue the Stal wart machine spoHs system for the benefit of the Democratic Hungry Brigade. If the Philadelphia delegation would make itseit a power in the organization of the democratic House, it will promptly and absolutely cut looso from the Hungry Brigade, and gracefully bow to the em phatio and inexorable mandate of the peo ple for the complete overthrow of the spoils system. Let the Hungry Brigade go ; it isn't wanted in Harrisburg." They had a church lull of people out near Pittsburgh Saturday night listening to a story related from the pulpit by a former Cripple, who asserts that he was restored to health through tho power of prayer. Mr. Richard Huffman was lor many years the subject of a disease that confined him to his bed, and which the best medical skill pronounced incurable. Finding that the men of this world could eive him no relief, the weary patient claims that he invoked Divine grace and that ho was miraculously cured by prayer. Ho is glad now, he says, that ho suffered years of misery, because in the end he has been enabled to show to tho world the power of the Lord, the Great Physician. Women wept and uiou uBiuuou in Rwo-strioKen wonoer as the lame man who had been made to walk related the story or his restoration, which is said to have been a straightforward ind honest narrative that left no doubt in the minds of his hearers that he was speak ing tn truth. Meanwhile the skeptical doctors and others of the neighborhood are slow to accept the theory that Hoff man has been made tho subject of a latter. day miraolo, bat inoline to the opinion -.bat his disease had been incorrectly di agnosed by his physioians who had failed to cure him, and that his sudden recovery was due to what they call progressive lo comotor ataxia. At all events the case has awakened a marked interest among the faculty, and it is not improbable Huff man, will bo brought before the next meet ing of the county medical society for ex amination by the learned doctors. The restored patient clings to the belief that he.has been cured by a miracle, and in tends to preach throughout all Western Pennsylvania, using his own case as an illustration of tho efficacy of prayer ard of the inflcite depth of Divine mercy.

Tho outcome of his first, which included three months among the Mormons, is a hook entitled Sinners and Saints." Hox. Lot M Morrill is so ill thai, his friends have no hope of his recovery. Very few persons aro permitted to see him, as he is unable to talk without aggravating his sufferings and causing him great dis tress. His mind is clear and he fully realizes his condition. His diseaso is in flammation of the stomach from which he has suffered for many years. Justice Bradlet, of tho United States supreme court, as might have been ex pected, is not to resign now. The rumors that he intends to retire from tbo benoh are gratuitious. He has never expressed any intention on the tubject one way or the other and any reports to the contiary are sheer fictions. Whenever he feels it necessary to give attention to the subject he will take the proper means of making his conclusion known. i HOKK1BLK CKUUK Off A NEOKO WO.IUS Placing Her Little Child on a Keel-Hot Stove to Get Kid of li-l.luejy to JJio From Its Dreudiut Hums. Martha Robinsou, who tried to kill her two-year-old child a day or two ago, Is locked up in jail at Louisville, Ky. Her crime was of the most brutal nature. She is a colored woman and lives in a licvcl of the lowest description. Her only com panion has been ber little boy. She con sidered him a burden and became tired of having him around. Her plan to get rid of him was that of a fiend. She first heated a crazy old stove in her hovel until it was red hot, and then stripping the uttie noy until he was neaiiy naked, placed him upon it. The child was ter ribly burned. His screams of agony beamed to frighten the woman, for before the hot stove could finish its work sho snatched him off, wrapped him up in a pieeo of blanket and left the house. By this time the child was insensible. Perhaps the woman thought him dead, She started off in the direction of tho iwr. but if 6he had any intention of th: jwing the body into the water she changed her mind. She wandered up town and finally took the little bundle ol suffeting wietch eduess into a hallway in the shoo factory of R. L. Stevens & Co., at No. 243 Seventh street. At this point the child recovered its volco and began to cry, though quite faintly. After placing the child in the hallway the brutal mother sped down Market street, but Officers Harlan and Harlow, who were coming up- Seventh street, caught sight of her, not thinking for a moment that she had any reason for her flight. When opposite the hallway thoy ohanced to hear tho groans of the Buf fering child and soon discovered it lying on the floor in the hallway. The offlceis quickly connected the flying woman with tho child aud they started after her, over taking her near Tenth street. They took the child with them, though they had no idea of its burned condition. When con fronted with her boy the woman acknowl edged she was the mother of it and de clared lwr purpose to have been to get rid of it. Tho officers arrested her and took her to the Twelfth street station house. There an examination of the child disclosed ths frightful barbarities that had been practiced upon it. "Why did you do this?' asked Officer Harlan of tho woman. "I wanted to get shutof it," she replied, carelessly, "I put it on tho stove and I am sorry the thing wasn't roasted." She was placed in a cell and medical aid summoned for the child The terrible burns are considered fatal. AlURDBBKD AT A CUUltCU rKSllfAI,.

The board of officers of the state fenei blcs' battalion offered tho services of the battalion to Governor elect Pattison as escort from hh home to Harrisburg on the occasion of hia inauguration. Air. Pattison has deolined the offer in a letter to Charles Berger, adjutant aud secretary of boaid of officers. Mr. Pattison's letter Is as follows : FHILAUELPIUA, Nov. 18, 1833. 'My DiiAi; Sir : I desire to acknowledge the xrcuipt of your letter advising mo of the resolution unanimously passed at a meeting of the board of officers of the stale fcncibles' battalion tendering me the services of tho battalion as an escort from my home to narrisburg on the occasion of tho inauguration of tho governor of the commonwealth in January next. This letter is only one of many I am daily re ceiving of similar import from various organizations, both civil aud military. As I was at one time a member and president of your battalion, it it? not improper that I select my reply to your invitation as a method of communicating my purpose as to the inauguration to all those organiza tions that have already addressed mo on the subject or might he likely to take auy action in the matter in the future. For the personal compliment intended to bo bestowed upon mo by theso friends I am bincercly grateful, but must decline to ac cept their kind offers, for ; he reason I am about to state. I havo always entertained a profound conviction that a simple and undemonstrative inauguration of public office! s was most in accord with tho spirit of republican institutions. There is no reason that I can see why tho mcro taking of an oath by tho citizon called by this people to execute a public trust should be made ths occasion for scenes of pageantry and demonstration. To my mind the solemness of the act is marred by the in trusion of such needless and inopportune display. The sooner we return to simpli city and democratic good sense in these matters the better better for tho people and better for the officers. Besides, I am resolutely determined that so far as I can control the matter, my inauguration as governor shall not cost the people of Penn sylvania one dollar. Why should it? They derive no benefit from such scenes and the money spent thereon is wasted. These are my reasons for declining your kind offer. I trust they may meet your approval. Of course, tho inauguration is a pubiic act and takes place in tho eye of the public. Therefore it is the right of huch citizens as desire to do so voluntarily and at their own cxpenso to bo present at and witness tho ceremony. All such I will be glad to sec and meet on that oc casion. More than that I do not wish to inspire and cannot approve. Respectfully your?. Robert 13. Pattison-. Agiecs with t!e Governor. Philadelphia Record. Chaiiman Henscl ran a cheap campaign, and ho wants to follow it up with a cheap inauguration. That i3 right; let us get rid of all the unnecessary fol-do rol we have to pay for. There ought to bo no more ceremony swearing in the governor than about marrying a milkmaid. Getting married for good and all, is, in fact, a much more sei ious matter than inaugurat ing a governor, who only keeps his place for four years if he behaves himself. A. Quarrel iSndd riuily.
