Orvillu Jewell BUbseouently died in the

Neir tho dead man wero found a large

At tho coroner's inquest on the body of

in bis body. Tho death of the elder Jewett
was caused by fragments of the grenade
which bad I rightfully torn and lacerated his

SOME AlTtllNrMUNTS.
Mr. Hayes is aiding Mr. Schurz in his ef
forts'to carry out- reforms inthe service, and
Sir. Schura must hi highly dilighted wnh
some of tho recent appointments made by
Mr. Hayes. McLin Ins been sent to "ew
Jlexico as a Jud?e, and McLin's reform qual
ifications are that hi served as chief of tho
Florida Returning Board and stole the votes
of that State for Hayes. New Mexico will
doubtless bo proud of him and Florida will
cheerfully part with him.
Another good appointment is that of
Humphreys to" be Collector of Peusacola.
This accomplUhed gentleman assisted in
stealing the voto of Florida. Ho was a Mas
sachusetts man and served in the rebel army;
after tho war he was a Democrat and then a
Itepublican. He held five offices under tho
State government and was accused of stealing
in two of then). He lied to Grant and was
kicked out of office. Mr. Hayes was inform

A Righteous Decision.
The agent of a sewing machine company
had sold a machine, to a person in Brooklyn
on what is known as a "lease." The pay
ments under such a sale are to be made by
installments, but tho machine is only "leas
ed" to the purchaser, tho payments are des
ignated "rent," and when default is made,
if even on the last installment, tbe agent
to his announced principles, immediately steps in, reclaims the machine and retains
made Humphreys Collector of Petisacola. all the money that has beeu paid upon it.
That is the kind of reform a Fraudulent Pre
sident may be expected to carry out.
I10UES0X A0AIN.
I This one-sided bargain is a cheat on its face,
and besides, a largo addition is generally
made to tho honest price of the machine
when thus sold on time. In the Brooklyn
would do somebody some good but not those
for whom it was intended. This fort of thing
was quite usual with Robcwin-he did not teem
to understand what the word "appropriation"
in tho legal sense means. Of courso it was all
right to allow his officers to go without pay
for three month, and put a few more bolts
in an iron clad. It seems to s that such
outrageous disregard of law ought to be pun
ished. Perhaps Robeson didn't steal this
tie of their own medicine, "Not au instant''
is their reply when a purchaser asks for
time. The Brooklyn decision will probably
encourage a number of persons who have
lost both tbelr money and machines by such
sharp practice to attempt to recover cither
tho ono or the other. Ar, Y. HeraUU

Wendell Phillips recently linden ppcech in
Philadelphia, of-sucli an outrageous and abiv

pieifinnof indignation from all parts of the
country. But it seems that there aro some peo
plo who like that sott of thing, for it is stated
that a ntunb-r of "prominent colored citi
zans of New Orleans" bavo requested Phil
lips to hold forth in other places. It would
be interesting to know exactly whit political
or social views are held by those "prominent"

answer to his abuse. Such langingo as he

Wendell Phillips.
DAHUAIN AND SALE.
Truly these are times of bargaining and
huckstering. Tho present Administration
rests on so insecuro a foundation that it is
obliged to truckle to the wishes of greedy
politicians, to secure any support. Tbe
Louisiana Commission is a jobbing arrange'
inent and there is a deal of dickering now
going on to endeavor to elect a Speaker of
the House, in accord with the Admiuistra
tion. This is sought to be done by promises
of certain Southern internal improvements,
notably the Texas Pacific It; R., and by tho
promise of offices. It is thought that in this
way sufficient strength can be obtained by the
votes of Southern Democrats to elect either
somo such man as Garfield or a Southern
man who will render a yiu'd pro quo, in the
formation of Committees. We do not be
lieve the effort will be successful, but
should it at length succeed, those tra
ding politicians by whose aid it will bo ac
complished, will do well to look for their
pay. Those who descend to such luetbodn
to gain their ends are rarely prompt in di
charging their debts. i

great seal of the State a copy of this state

to have been a clear plurality of over a thou--and
votes in favor nf the three elector,
Odell, Cartwright and Watts. The certifi

The expression of Judge Field and
Clifford are significant of the fact that how
ever the decision of the majority may be

Receiver Clark, of the Lehigh and Wilkes-
liarre Coal Company j Receiver Lathrop, of
the Central Railroad of New Jersey : Dr.
Linderman, of the Lehigh region, and Mr.
Thomas, of (Schuylkill Valley.
The report of the committee as to the ton
nage agreements was unanimously adopted.
It was decided to advance the price of coal
fifty cents per ton on June 1, as owing to
largo amounts contracted for delivery during
April and May it was deemed Imprudent to
make a general advance at this time. It
was also agreed that no contracts for deliv
eries of coal at fixed prices shall be made
dating after May 31.
fffAt previous meeting the oxscnt of pro
duction was limited to 8,000,000 tons, a con
siderable falling off from last year, and the
percentage of each corporation was fixed,
and now the rates are advanced fifty cents
fir ton. It r. mains then to be aeeu whether
t.ie terms of this agreement will be adhered
to, and whether each corporation will refrain
from exceeding its percentage of production.
We must confess wo have but little faith in
the binding effect of tho agreement, nor do
we believe tbe coal difficulties are to be set
tled in any such manner. Tho condition of
affairs in April, 1878, will be very much as
it at present exists.
Lately every capital case has been carried

bill passed by tbe recent Legislature provid
ing that no writ or certiorari in capital of
fences shall be issued from tho Supreme
Court to remove any case from lower Courts
after twenty davs from sentence, and no sec
ond writ of error or certiorari unless espe
chilly allowtd by the Supreme Court or a
judge thereof shall issue in capital offence,
after the Supreme Court has entered a nol
pros, iu the case or has quashed tho writ.

The EX'Confedcrates anil President Hayes
We bavo no sort of hesitation iu announc
ing uow, in view of what we beliovo to bo
the Southern policy of the President, and in
advance of the assault we expect to bo made
upon him nn account of that policy, that we
have nn idea of being indifferent lookers-on
upon tbe cosnbat between the factions, but
that, if it onnac, we mean to go into it with
all our might on the side of tbe man whose
enemies in his own party would strike him
down for not holding down the oppressed
and persecuted people of tbe South. These
are our sentiments; and we have not a doubt,
if the contemplated emergency arises, we
shall see that tbey are the sentiments ot
ninety-nice hundredths nf tho best and
bravest of the men who wero four years in
the field for the cause of the Confederacy.
