LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCER THURSDAY, JANUARY 25. 1883. Uaucastet I-ntelltgenrer. THURSDAY EVENING, JAN. 25, 1883. KeFnevaIsaud Appointments. " If these who are opposing the gover nor's nominations te the Senate were as frank te slate their rtal motives as Mr. Pattison is in giving his reasons for making them, the public would he better enlightened upon the merits of the controversy. As te the recorder's office, Mr. Lane, who holds it by the favor of Quay, and who is popularly sup posed te divide its profits with hira, is the staunch and unwavering friend of Cameren. He has largely aided in the overthrew of McManes, who has never been forgiven for frustrating Cameren at Chicago, and no estimate of the political situation in Philadelphia is reliable thai fails te take into account the influence of Lane, operating for Cameren, in defeating McManes. Thcs circumstances will amply explabi why such Republican senators as train with Cameren will ex haust eveiy means te save Lane. On the ether hand it is believed, and the Times gives color te the allegation, Ilia' the real reason why the Independent:, fail te support the nomination of Smith for the succession is their dissatisfaction with Mr. PitUsens appointment if his attorney general, which is, el course, net a geed reason wh they should be influenced te op pose the noinhiutie.i of a fit man and a Reform Republican te a place im properly filled by a Seal wart Republican. The governor maintains, and the-e who speak for him in Hie Se .ale allege, that Mr. Lane is an unfit officer, and ha abusedhis place which, if true, is ample cause why lie should be removed. L n.e deniesthis and challenges prosecution for malfeasance, which he holds le be the only proper way of removing him. The question of the governor's right te remove this officer, whom Lis pirdecec'r has commissioned for a term of yeais, seems te be one for the courts lather than te be determined by the vote of the Senate en the confirmation of a Mice s ser. :f he holds only at the w'il of the appointing power, the J-Vnatc ought, as a ma! ter of course, te confirm his successor unless an unlit p"isen is nominated : but if he has a claim upon the office for a fixed term, .subject e-ily te impeachment, even a vole of the Senate te confirm Ids success r would be a in re Lrutmn fuliu.i and would no nine u u meve him than J lie vole of th S-nale te confirm an executive appointee te any ether rffie.e in which l:i -re v.a.; no vacancy, n.jme efiiceis siviu te be ie ie nievnbleat the will of the g.Heriier.si-eh as sealer of weights and nevuses, t'nd yet even in tluse ctsv-sliie cniifr'en' of the Senate must be eb'aine-d Je n-n:. va!.--. The essence of the wi.de matter s.e ins te be that the Repnb'icans with a geed working majority in the Senate are indispe- d te let go .::y pa'ivm.'ge. ; ether i artisan advantage tha they can held ; and. huwcir their txu-.s in;. vary, they have this coui!.ieu puip ..

A Stilyecf ler Legislation. One subject which the- Legislati.it might profitably consider is that ef tic regulation of the metjuui.; of mining. The ever scan; of the Wilkcsbairi: people the sinking of the land beneath may serve te call attention te the vciy gre-at carelessness 1'iMctisi'el in the giea cealmining industry of the slate. Si great an arra of :t is limit il lid with ee-ul that it is absolutely necessary that legis lation should provide for the i-xlraeli -n of the mineral in a way that may net in future years prove te be dangt-reu-i te the public. It is ue!, peihaps, in th.e province of legislation te prevideagaies! the wasteful mining which is practised. Yet in an article where continued sup ply is se important te the gem era 1 wel fare it is net at all certain that the slate should net forbid waste in i's produc tion. A geed deal mere bene-fit would come te the people from a sci. nidi c 'in mission te examine; our coal mines and point out the best and safest; melinls of operating them than will eei-ceme from the geological commission that ha for years been pecking at the geology of the stale, resultles.-ly, its only energy be ing apparently diiected te an effort tenle as little as possible se as te keep from running out ef work tluit may be a pre; text for its continuance If the Legis lature should put down thin eonimi. eenimi. eonimi. sien and elect in its stead one that will investigate and report upen our mine.1--, it may de a wise, thing. Ink-Uig. nt leg islation, of course, must be founded upon the best and fuli.sr iufenr.a ion attainable ; and, before it ran be known what should be exacted te prele-el the people from the improper dislcrb-iuce e! the bowels of the earth, full inform itiflii as te the working of the coal mini's should be obtained from these who are competent te advise as te its character and propriety. m m A lady returning te New Yerk fiem Flerida en the steamer Western Texas died and was buried at sea. Such habit of treating the bodies of people who die en beard ships gives te ocean voyage a horror which it certainly need net have, especially at this season of the year. Seme few months age a prominent citizpn of Philadelphia, dying en bearel a trans-Atlantic steame.r, was cast into the sea, and his friends were never even advised of his eh'ath. People may be vs little sentimental as possible en the mat ter of the disposition of their dead, but few can be se entirely free from such feelings as le bD content le have their friends cast as feed te the fishes. Tnr: Delaware Heuse of Representa tives has refused te abate the punish ment of the whipping pest for certain grades of crime in that commonwealth, and there may be expected a cry of in dignatien from some of the callow phi.- anthepists at the barbarity of this institu tien and the darkness of the state which trtlnmf&q it Tim fup( of tlif i?ntfi dfl net bear out such an unfavorable judg ment of the whipping pest as a means of vindicating outraged law. Where the lash is applied with the proper exercise of judicial discretion it is found te be a salutary mode of dispensing just ice alike in preventing crime and in reforming offenders. These who suffer it hi Dela waie aie seldom found there the second time. It is true that the stem dispensa tion which inexorably exacted e e for e e and teeth for teeth has been waived aside by a mere beneficient civilization, but it is equally true that for a certain grade of offenses the ordinary modes of punish ment by confinement in jail have no terrors for wrongdoers nor adequate satisfaction and protection for an out raged community. Fer iape, for Un healing of women and children and kindled crimes the sturdy application of the lash is the best punishment yet eb'vised. A CHACi: TO RISC.
