WEDNESDAY. ..MAY . 18 It now looks as though u white robed peace" would succeed in spreading her mantle over the lion and the Bear. Cas Mr. Cleveland point to any 'rascal" he has turned out, who has half so bad a character as Hig gins, Pilkbury, and others that he has put in? The House at Harrisburg has passed a bill permitting school di rectors to purchase text-book out the school funds. A very foolish act, for divers reasons. On Thursday last the House got down to work, and voted away the peoples money with royal prodigal ity. Various public institutions were granted 390,000. The Administration last week re moved six colored messengers in the Treasury department It is keeping its pledge "to dosomethine for the colored people.' Tbe mnrwumns who voted for Cleveland to ret rid of the "spoils system," are timidly inquiring of each other, "Can a leopard change its spots, or an Ethiopian his skin ?" Ir is a long time ajnce this Nation has been represented abroad by men who favored its destruction. But this is a reform administration, and we are eniovine the fruits, of the reformation. The loyalty to party of the aver age Democrat is truly touching. He doesn't care a blank for the offices, but Cleveland's procrastination in the matter of appointments is work ing injury to the party. A Montreal firm has an order for 20,01)0 flannel shirts, and a man ufacturer in Troy, N. Y., has a Rus sian Army order for 25,000 dozen undershirts. The coming war is evidently not going to be fought by shirtless soldiers, t . . . - The President having appointed several rebel brigadiers who have been found to be ineligible, the in quiry has been suggested, whether he could not find two or three North' era Democratic Union soldiers ca pable of filling the missions to Italy, Russia and Mexico. A committee is now engaged in counting the cash in the U. S. Treas ury, before turning it over to the new Treasurer. Besides the many millions in notes and bonds to be examined, there are 270 ton s of gold and silver, contained in 9,000 sacks, that has to be counted. "Ir"ssssBBBsssssss Expectant Democrats who, for some time past, have been indulg ing in vigorous language regarding the slowness with which the Presi dent is making appointments, are now grinding their teeth over late declaration made by him, that on account of recent mistakes made, he intends to go even slower in the future. There is a vigorous family fight brewing in the ranks of the Democ racy, of which the bitter denunci ation of the President by Senator Eustice, of Louisiana, is only the forerunner. Wait till the disap pointed applicants get their second wind, and their representatives for gather at Washington next winter, and then the storm will burst It now turns out that Gen. Jack son, recently appointed Minister to Mexico, is another erring brother, who was actively engaged in the re bellion against the government, and whose disabilities have never been removed. The "reform" that turns out "offensive partisans," and re places them with offensive traitors, is rapidly exciting disgust with this Administration. I the Chicago Convention last year, George William Curtis declar ed that the Democratic party "is a conspiracy for spoils and plunder." Last week, at a dinner given to Mr. Peudleton in New York, he eulogii ed that gentleman as "the distin guished leader of a political party wiio bolds that the spoils system is a crime, bomebodj should apply pounded ice to George William s muddled brain. The Republicans of Beaver Coun ty have instructed their delegates to tue ctate ionvention to support UL M. b. vuay, for the nomination for State Treasurer, and the Colonel nas entered upon an active canvass Col. Quay is well known through- out the State, and his great abilitv ad personal integrity are undoubt ed, tie has many warm friends, and will be a most formidable com petitor for the Domination. CosrtRE.vcE committees are now at work on the Congressional and Senatorial apportionment bills, and ineir reports are awaited with anx iety throughout the State. A Rep resentative apportionment bill has not yet been passed by the Senate. at u connaeaUr asserted by the Ceveraor'a friends, that he will re to The Congressional and Senatorial Kuuao.u uKJuves. cader these circumstances it behooves the Mpalatare to harry the bills through, as but little lime is now left for further action, in case his Ixoelleocy uses hia high preroga iifwaod crushes them. Tmx Preaideat-haaiadded to his fliptematic nosegay, one J. Earnest Meirer as Consul to Nagasaki, Japan. This new Consul, it is alleged, is a a drunken dead-beat, who has deeert-Jmere ed his family, and lately, when in Washington on a debauch, assault ed Commodore Truxton, boasting at the same time that he was a rebel, and wasn't sorry for having fought the d d Yankees. He was a rebel soldier, and is a son-in-law of Commodore Buchanan, the traitor, who deserted the U. 8. Navy and I commanded the Memmac when she sunk the Cumberland and the Congress, in Hampton Roads. A sweet-scented daisy, this, to have charge of our interests abroad. Mb. Barclay Henley, the only Democrat elected to Congress from California last fall, it now appeal, is not a citizen of the United States. Official evidence has been obtained, showing that in 1SC4 he went to Mex ico, and there abjured his allegiance to this country and applied for nat uralization and took the oath of al legiance to the Emperor Maximil- lian. As this administration is ap pointing men who are not citizens of the United States, to represent mu country abroad, we presume that the election of a subject of a foreign government to represent a State of this Union, m Congress, wm oe con sidered all right by the party now Nevertheless, the next Congress will have to decide wheth er the provisions of the Constitution can be set aside to blige Mr. Hen ley, of Mexico. A test vote on the "joint resolu tion for an amendment to tbe Con stitution, forbidding the manufac ture and sale of intoxicating liquors within the State" was had in the House at Harriaburg, on Thursday last As soon as it was read Mr. Morgan, of Philadelphia, offered an amendment to "reimburse all per- j j : sons wno nave money imwwu i" real estate that is occupied in the manufacture or sale of liquors." This was carried by a vote of 93 yeas to 76 nays. A. J. Colborn and W. S. Morgan voting nay. A mo tion was made to postpone the bill indefinitely, on which the vote was 92 nays to 82 yeas. Messrs. Col born and Morgan voting nay. The bill was then postponed for the nrppnt bv a vote of 93 yeas to 82 i - nays. Judging from these two votes. it looks as if there will be no pro hibition, this time again, Representative, Colborn, we are pleased to see, agrees with the Her ald that there has been entirely too much useless blather in the House during the present session: On Thursday last on moving a post ponement of the License Bill for the purpose of taking up the General Revenue Bill, he took occasion to say: "This thing has gone far en'ouch." "We are wasting time d dnin? nothing. I am one of this majority that is responsible for tha acts of this House. We can't afford to sit here and do nothing and be laughed at by the Democrats and all the world, as we deserve to be. I propose to call a caucus of the Re publicans to-night to agree upon this bill and map out our future course on legislation." In the caucus which was subsequently held, it was generally confessed that there was a deal too much blather, and resolution was passed requesting the Speaker to rieidlv enforce the ten minute rule. United States Senator Eustice, of Louisiana, a democrat of demo crats, is mad, bloody mad, fighting mad, and to prove it authorized the New Orleans State to publicly say for him that " Mr. Cleveland has been a conspicuous and humiliating failure. And I say this," continued the bellicose Senator, "because of the fact that a hord3 of unscrupu lous, ignorant, dyed in-the-wool and offensively partisan radical leaders are permitted to remain in office all over tbe country, under Democratic rule, and in violation of the very principles of Democracy." Hit him acain. Eustice t This civil service reform is a d d barren ideality. " To the victors belong the spoils," is the only true Democratic doc trine. A question of party princi ple is involved, and the world must be shown that the Democracy is bigger thtn Mr. Cleveland and his Cabinet combined. We glory in your spunk! There are thousands of Democrats who think with you. only they are afraid to say so. Go in, Eustice ! In the eyes of this Administra tion, standing by and working for the election of bis party candidates is "offensive partisanship" in a Re publican, but to proclaim, in defi ance of public sentiment, that the assertion of the constitutional au thority of the United States govern ment over the State of Virginia was "a gross and bloody violation of public rights," is most commend able and worthy of h ighest honor. No other conclusion can be drawn .. v fTa . a irom toe i resident s action in ap pointing that arrant rebel and dem agogue, Keiley, of Virginia, first as the representative of this govern ment to Rome, and afterwards, for good and sufficient reasons, revok ing this appointment, and sending him as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to A astro nungary. uemember too, that it was not in the heat of rebellion, but within the last two weeks only, that Minister Keiley made the trea - Vt- J-l , vua.ui aaciaxauou wmcn nas ap parently aodeared turn to. this Ad ministration. The " offensive partisanship " dodge is bow the Administration's best pip" for getting rid of Repub lican flffiee holders. There aovY.t to be a high joint commission to determine, first, what constitutes of fensive paxtiaacship, and secondly, is the accused guilty T Surely, so pure an executive, and so devoted a reformer as is Mr. Cleveland will not depose one partisan, on tha charge of another! Will not be guilty of the monstrous iniquity of condemning the accused without a hearing; -without a chance to put in rebutting testimony ? If justice ia to be dealt out, we must have a tribunal to decide. By all means, let the Republican partisans be put out, and the Democratic partisans be put in; but let it be done decent- ly and in order. Don't attempt to cloak the old "spoils system" with the pretext of "civil service reform." In other words, don't "steal the liv ery of heaven to serve the devil in." If officials are not to be removed except lor cause, then exparte evi dence should be excluded. Fair play is a jewel. The Republicans of the Legisla ture did a yery wise thing when they determined, laet week, to insist upon more work and less talk in future sessions. The waste of time, and consequent delay in legislation, is largely attributable to the idle, senseless blather that has been in dulged in during this session. Every day of the legislative session costs tbe people $3,000, and when it L considered that our 'representatives' do not really put in more than three and one-half days out of each week, in pretended business, and that great portion of that time is wasted in useless "debate " it ia high lime that a new leaf was turned over. There are laborious, able, sincere and upright men in the Republican ranks, who, of course, are not per sonally accountable for the follies of their fellow members, but it is as body, not as individuals, that this Legislature will be judged, and the Republican party, not its individu al representatives, will be held re sponsible. It is to this better class of able and prudent men that we must look for better results during the remaining days of the session. General Grant at Work. New York, April 30. General Grant still continues to improve in health. In an interview with Col. Fred Grant, had this evening, he said : The General dictated to tbe sten ographer for nearly an hour, enough matter to make twenty-two or twen tv-three paces of his book. He is now dictating the ADDOtmax cam paign, and from his despatches and other data is enabled to give a per fectly straight and lucid account to the stenographer. He is without doubt looking and feeling better than he has at any time since the 1st of December. We are now al most certain of his complete renter ation to nealth. lie will - remain here until the first of July, when he will go to Mount McGregor, obout eleven miles from Sarataga. That is at present all the arrangements that have been made. I have not had a chance to know exactly what the doctors had to say on ednes- day, but I beiieve their report was a favorable one. He experiences no difficulty whatever in swallow ing or speaking, and his improve ment within the last few days really phenomenal. is Harrison, the General's faithfu valet, fully corroborated every part of the statement in regard to the Generals recovery, and says that he knows, from his own personal ob servation, that the General is better now and continues to improve in every way than he was during the last two months. Dr. Douglass who came, as usual, at ten o clock was asked during the morning the cancer at the base of the tongue had not improved with the general betterment of the patient and if the cancerous lump was an open sore. In replying, he said he could not affirm that there had been an im provement ot the cancer, it was difficult to tell about that The cancerous lump was not an open sore. The darting pains that have their seat in the cancerous lump on the tongue still continued, but were not so frequent nor so severe as they had been. In response to further questions the Doctor could not say that the mfrequency and lessened severity of those pains indicated an im proved condition of the cancer. There was, in every way, improved conditions aside irom the cancer, relative to which the Doctor de clined to speak further than as stat ed. Buttermore Makes Restitution. Harrisbcro, April 30. Dr. Smith Buttermore, the president of tbe Trustees of tbe non-existing Con- nellsville Hospital, came to Harris burg to-day with a check for $12,500 the amount which he drew from the State Treasury upon making affida vit that a like sum had been raised by local subscription. This check he offered to Treasurer Livsey, but asked that the affidavit he had sign ed be returned to him. The Treas urer refused to do this, and gave him only a receipt for the money. It is not known whether this restitution will affect the report of the investi gating committee. Gen. Irwin McDowell Dying. San Franosco, April 30. Gen.

HL, April 30. The bag gage car of the Chicago express train oa the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago Railroad was entered a few miles from Bloomington, Ind., last nieht, by a solitary tram rober, who after shooting the express messen ger and baggageman, secured $13,000 from toe sate ana escapea to me woods. The story, as told by one of the wounded men is, that when the train stopped about two miles from Harrodsbure. Ind.. at a water-tank erected at the side of tbe track, and the baggage man, Peter Webber, was makma out his report at tbe lar end of the car, a tall bushy-bearded man entered the door nearest tbe smok ing car and struck George X. Davis, the express messenger, a savage blow on the head, knocking him down. Davis attempted to draw bis revol ver, but it was struck from his hand and secured by tbe robber, who at once shet at tbe messenger, and wounded him in the back of the head. The desperado then turned upon Webber, and placing the re volver at bis ear ordered him to open the safe. Webber, to gain time said be had no keys, but was order ed to get them out of Davis' pock et, which he did. shooting the baggage master. The safe was then opened by the affrighted baggage man, and the robber deliberately fired at him in the side of the head. The ball glanoed upward and did not penetrate the skull. The safe was then rifled of its contents, said to be $13,000, and when the train slacked up at Bloomington tbe dar ing thief jumped into the woods that surround tbe place. Tbe whole affair did not occupy over ten minutes in accomplishment and neither the conductor, brakeman nor anv of the passengers heard the shots or imagined any thing unus ual was occurring, uuul Webber hurried into the smoking car. When the train reached Bloomington the wounded men were left at that sta tion. The only money found in the safe after the robbery was a small package of $150. As soon as the robbery became known the station agent at Bloom ington organized a posse to hunt for the perpetrator, and an engine and a baggage car filled with men went back over tbe road to try to discov er some trace of the robber. The Violent Storm. Schuylkill Haven. April 30. Mrs. Charles Nelms, who lives near Llewellyn, drives to Pottsville every morning in a covered wagon to de liver milk. She was returning, and, just as she got on the wagon, a sud den heavy gale blew the horse and vehicle over on top of her. The wagon lay on its Bide and the horse upon Mrs. Nelms. It is feared her in juries will prove fatal. Mrs, Nelms was removed to her home at once.

The dil atory trifling of the Legislature reached the climax this morning. So many members slipped off last night to their homes, and left by the early trains this morning, that the House was left without a quorum. At 11:30 o'clock this fact was dis covered by tbe Democrats, and they made a point by moving a call of the House. The. result was that business came to a stand still, and Speaker Graham bad to enforce the rules. He directed all doors to be locked, and that no member should be per mitted to leave, and then sent the Sergeant-at-Arms with assistants out to all the depots and hotels, to ar rest recreant members and bring them back. Under the rules the House could be kept locked all day, and all night too, or until a quorum should be obtained. While the officers were hunting for members the imprisoned ones had a high old time singing "Marching Through Georgia," and other songs. The embargo lasted one hour, when the sergeant returned wita tbe re. port that in all Harrisburg he could find but one member. The advisa bility of telegraphing to Mifflin and Lancaster to catch tbe fleeing mem bers en route home on the train was considered, but the Speaker deemed that he had exhausted all his resources, and therefore adjourn ed the House.
