T1m 2fevr Yerk newspapers nre very jealous In their effort te advertise lloa llea lloa eee Cenkllng In bla legal enterprises, anil from the lengthy reports they make of bis sayings and doings It is evident tbaa they think tliem very bright and geed. Mr. Cenkllng is new engaged in the Heyt will case, wherein his aim Is te destroy the will In the interest of a supposed-te-bo weak minded daughter. We de net knew what the merits of the case are, and the result of It is net of In terest or of consequence te any but the litigant parties; and the .New Yerk journals seem te have ue provocation te report It save that Mr. Cenkllng appears In it. He Is new engaged In a very Im pertinent style of e.amlnatlen of the old lawyer nnd cenveyancer who drew up the will and wni the counsel of the de ceased millionaire. Mr. Cenkllng ex hibits little wit while steadily striving te show all that Is in him He often succeeds in drawing the laughter which he Is soliciting from the spectators, and Is accordingly hnppy at the success of his efforts, unmindful of the real damage he does his geed name as a practitioner of an honorable profession by his failure te treat with proper re spect witnesses who are delivered into his hands for the sole purpose of elicit ing from them the truth, ns they know knew it. It is a constant temptation te the weak men at the bar te abuse this trust, and te undertake te browbeat and bully nnd worry the wit ness they examine. Mr. Conkling, from hia reputation, should beabove this style of business, but it Is clear that he i3 net ; but certainly, If he does indulge In the dirty game lie ought te show smartness In It, instead of the notable stupidity conspicuous iu his wit ; or what would be marked down ns stupidity, if it was net th.it Mr. Conkling la held te be a very smart man, It 13 the penny-a-liners in the big towns who keep up reputations. When they tret a man with Cenkling'a name they wait en him assiduously, and chronicle all his motions and emotions Ter the profit it brings them. There are se many people In the world who are in terested iu everything that noted men say and de, whether or no what they say and de is of real value, that it pays re porters te report and uewspipers te record them. The luterviewimr of nete rieu3 people bus sprung from this public weakness. If all men werocapab'.eof judging for themselves, of what is wise or otherwise, reputations would be very different from what they are, and public men would need te de bet ter work than they are new guilty of te maintain themselves en the pinnacles en which fortune and the newspapers place them. The A'xummer makes the bold charge that in the eventful Republican campaign of 1S78 in this county " our cengrebsman contributed $7,000 te the peel, and that in nil, the Em's friends in order te nmke ' reform ' all the mere certain expended SI 1,000. About $1,000 or tuts amount was paid te the Kra, for printlne, etc.," nnd the rest was spent in the cause of reform. Tills the Examum professes te have " learned from these who were In the Innei circle of the Era's ring of that year." It is likely that In the transmutations of our local politics these who were in the Examiner ring at that time are new in the confidence et the Xem Era uud might be able te tell it and the public what it cost the candidates of the ether faction te be beaten. When rogues fall out there Is n chance te havuthem tell the truth about each ether, and if the queer shifting of Republican politics in this county would result In this it would be a grateful Issue, though Heme hearts might bleed which newbe.it high with hope. AcoiiKEsreNDENTof the Pittsburg Dispatch says that Hen. Wm. II. Koentz, of Somerset, recently -talked with General Jee. Johnsten, whom he met nt Aiken, Seuth Carolina, and found the general considerably disgus'ed with the Democracy, whom he thought Badli In need of leadership. He was streimlv of the opinion that the Siutli had be be be ceme tee much of a manufacturing com munity te be In leve with n tariff for revenue only. He was at a le3s te name the strongest Democratic presidential candidate iu the Seuth, but had no doubt that Blaine, or Grant, or Conk Cenk llng would suit the Southern ItenublL cans. The general evidently does net knew which would milt them best when all would de se well. Evidently the Southern Republicans are net likely te belt the ticket. BisN.vreit Rayaiu) regnrds the Star Reute disclosures as among the most eventful ever made of the corruption which honoycembs our public adminis tration ; and he is right. The apparent popular Indifference te thorn, which la a cause of wonder te him, is probably owing t) the fact that the issuoef nd nd mlnlstrntlve reform has been overshad owed by the tariff discussion. It ought net te be. 2s'er is it te the advantage of the Democracy te have It thus. The people are mero keenly sonsitlve te quts. tlena of houeat administration than te economic issues, 'and the corruption and rnscallty of the Republican olllce elllce olllce helders should be kept steadily before tbem unlil they rlse and turn the rascals out. TfiE inquiry most anxiously made among the Republican politicians of this county new Is net se much as te which candidates are te get en the various combinations forming for the primaries, but who's te be cheated 'i Some of the candidates and mero of the bosses luive a Greater number of pledges eutstand Ing than they can keep, and it is only a question with thorn whether they can conceal their inability te deliver the goods until nfter the primaries. It is a very complicated situation as it stands, and the way congressmen, senators, as as eamblymcu and judges nre bslng made or the Mate of Lancaster county gives Ilttle premise of any Improvement In the character of our etllcials or the adminis tration of our public affairs. m I'EiutArs Herr Smith has bribed Arthur te delny notion en the Perter bill until after the Republican primaries.
