tiii: new j Aid.
Joseph E. Sands nnil John Herncr, two of
the Comity Commissioners, last week tna'lo
A contract with D. J. Waller, Sr., for a lot
on which to erect the new Jail, Mr. W nl
ler gives ono hundred feet front, and will
give another hundred nhcu needed for conn
ty purposes. What those county purposes
may be wo are not Informed, unless It mean
that the Court Homo Is to ho removed there
one of these days. When this agreement
was made H. W. Mclleury, Iho other Com
miesloner, was not present, having received
no notice that any such nn anangement was
to he made at that time, and is therefore in
no way responsible for the action of a major
Ity of the board. This new lot is below tho
railroad on Iron street between Seventh and
Eighth streets. Wo do not deslro to bo cap
tlous or critical ou this subject, but when it
Is the universally expressed desire of the
people of the county to have the new Jail
erected on the old site, wc confess wc cannot
understand tho persistency with which the
majority of the Commissioners cling to the
idea of nuttinz It somewhere else. There is
another feature that we do not like. When
the Injunction was obtained it restrained the
Commissioners from building on the I'ursel
lot, and rescinded tho Krug contract, the
latter for the obvious reason that $7,000
was too much to pay when the work could
bo done for less. Both of these orders the
Commissioners complied with, in form at
least. The Purscl lot was abandoned, the
Krug contract annulled, hilt then they pro
ceed at once to select another site equally as
objectionablo and Instead of taking new bids
for the contract they decide to build by the
day. The objection to this Is that they have
employed the same parties who were inter
ested in tho Krug contract, one of whom at
the former letting Intimated to a certain
county official that ho could make five hun
dred dollari by using his influence for them j
and the cost of the Jail instead of being lim
ited to $j7,UUU as before can now be made
to reach any sum not exceeding $"0,000,aud
even moro than that if tiilullij managed.
Scarcely a public building has been erected
within this State during tho past ten years
where there have not been strong reasons to
suspect that all the money paid by tho peo
ple was not expended in its erection, and
hence all taxpayers guard the public coffers
with s jealous eye. We charge no man
with intention to defraud, but when a cer
tain Individual interested In furnishing ma
terial offers to buy up influence at five hun
dred dollars a head, and that fact is known
to the Commissioners, they should be very
careful to see that they pay such a price for
material as will not enable any contractor
to make enough out of the people so that he
will have many sums of like amount to
squander In that way.
HAYES' HYPOCRISY.
Consistency is a jewel. While Mr. Hayes
pretends to be a civil service reformer, and
opposed to political assessments, the follow
ing from the New York Sun shows that he
believes that money thus collected and used
is a good thing to help him into office, but
now1 that he is In he is endeavoring to pull
the wool over the eyes of the people to con
vince them of his purity and honesty. Here
are the facts :
"Zachariah Chandler, lormerly a United
States Senator from Michigan, and, after
having been lejccted by that State as a can
didate for reelection, Secretary of the Inte
rior In 187C a swearing and drinking but
patriotic citizen was also, while occupying
seat in the Cabinet, Chairman of the Na
tional Republican Committee. Instead of at
tending to his official duties at Washington,
he spent his time at the headquarters of the i
.committee, in the Fifth Avenue Hotel in
this city.
The Presidential election was pending.
Mr. Chandler collected money by assess
ment on Federal officeholders. R. B. Hayes
was the Republican candidate for President.
Mr. Chandler sent this money, bo collected
by the assessment of Federal officeholders,
to R. B. Hayes, the Republican candidate
for President, in Ohio ; and R. B. Hayes.the
Republican candidate for President, expend
ed this money and paid it out to promote
his own election.
Along with a purchased, false, and forged
return by tho Louisiana Board, this was
the means by which our Civil Service Re
form President made his way into the White
House !
What h our proof? That the money was
largely collected by assessment on Federal
officeholders is universally known, and has
been proved by sworn testimony before a
Congressional committee.
That R. It. Hayes received this money
from Mr. Chandler, and drew it out through
a bank in Ohio, appears by the certificates
of deposit and tho endorsements thereon.
The Second National Bank, where tho mon
ey was deposited, Is In tho corner of the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, where Mr. Chandler's
committee had their headquarters.
Of courbe Mr. Hayes paid this money out
for election purposes. If he did not do that,
he embezzled it; and nobody suspects him of
embezzlement. If he paid it out for election
purposes, he paid it out to promote either
his own election or that of Mr, Tilden.
Does any one Imagine he paid it out to pro
mote Mr. Tilden's election ?
Under his own hand the great civil ser
vice reformer stands convicted of hypocrisy.
The halo of honesty popularly supposed to
surround his head has all disappeared, and
like the unveiled prophet of the poet, he
tauds forth revealed In the deformity which
belongs to false pretensions."
T1IK UAl'dllMAN CASE.
Four men named respectively, Lynch,
Hess, Boyco and Wright were recently tried
in Philadelphia for committing an outrage on
u girl of fifteen named Baughman. The
young lady was out walking with a young mau
named Uabricl Myers, when they were at
tacked by theso roughs Tho boy ran away
leaving his companion to her lato. When
Myers was being cross-examined on the wit
ness Maud he testified to bomcthiug that as
tonished the couuiel foi tho Commonwealth
whoso witncxs ho was. It was that he had
"just mado an improper proposal to tho
girl, when they were attacked." It is a cei
cral rulo of law that no party can contradict
his own witness, but in this caso the Court
ullowod tho Commonwealth to provo that tho
boy when questioned by tho District Attorney
in private had denied that anythiug improper
had been proposed or takeu pheo, aud that
lie had baid nothing of tho kind before the
committing magistrate The youug man re
tired very much dibconccrted. The prisoner
Hill undoubtedly lo convicted.
CIVII Sr.llVICK ItEFMlM.
If imy body believes that tho much talked
of civil tervice reform Is any thing but a
humbug, let him read tho following con
cerning tho manner in which tho exam!na
Hons am conducted mid hiiwlll sen at once
that It is only a thin veil In euum appoint'
ments for favorites.
Mr. Blank, tpceiitly a teacher nl iiiatlio
mattes In a Western college, and earlier nn
officer In tho United States service- during
and after tho war, tried to galu admission to
an examination, llu was told that ho could
do so only no an uapplicant, nud ho went,
accordingly, In that capacity. Tho cxamin
ation, ho found, was conducted in n large
room In the basement of tho Interior De
partment, whero some forty men were writ'
ing, flvo or six at a table no examiners,
no proctors, no watchmen. A colored rues
senger brought In a list of fifty printed qucs
tious, drawn to test general knowledge, and
with n request appended that tho answers bo
sealed In nti euvelopo by each individual
with his application and papers. I he group
in which this gentleman was sitting deter
mined to pool their Information, and he
wrote tho answers, which tho others para
phrased. When It was over six sets of sub-
tantlally tho satiio answers wero written
anil sealed. The result was curious. Mr.
Blank went without n line of political influ
ence lie lias lieum nothing ot ms answers.
Another applicant Blakewell ot XewYork,
a clergyman's son, himself fresh from a clas
sical school, with no political backing has
been told that ho did not pass, A third,
Arthur of Philadelphia, who had strong en
dorsements from politicians in the city Ring
of Philadelphia, was also plucked. He
went to Philadelphia, gathered up a little
niorcinflucnce, and is now in tho Indian
Bureau.
John T. Clements, a former pension agent
at Macon City, Missouri, was nnother man
at the table, and will bo remembered as fig
uring in tho testimony at the Belknap trial,
whero it was shown that he paid Mrs.Boggs,
wife of ono of Grant's old partners, eleven
hundred dollars for a place, which scandal
ous disclosure forced him to resign. Ho
came to this examination backed by Hen
derson and two dozen prominent Missouri
politicians. He passed and is now in tho
Pension Ollico at twelve hundred a year.
The last man was Christiancy, a son of
the Senator. He passed and was appointed
to a clerkship In the land office n month
ago, at a salary of $1,200. Since then ho
has committed a penal offence by drawing it
in person and writing an order for it, which
ho sold to a broker, who now threatens him
with prosecution unless his father makes
good the loss. The son was just recovering
from a spreo when last heard from at Provi-
denco Hospital. It would be Interesting to
know how the other tables fared.
UUREAU OF STATISTICS.
We are Indebted to W. HayesGrier, Chief
of the Bureau of Statistics, for a copy of his
last Report. It is about the size of an agri
cultural Report, and as valuable. The
Ledger expresses our opinion when it says:
Industrial Statistics of the State of Penn
sylvania .have been collected by W. Hayes
Gricr, Chief of the Bureau of Industrial
Statistics, and published as the third volume
of the Report of the Secretary of Internal
Affairs. The Report differs in many essen
tial characteristics from tho usual tabulated
reports from similar departments, and con
sists to a great extent, of compilations from
ephemeral publications, which may or may
not be worthy of preservation in book form.
There are a few esssays on Commerce, tho
Social Condition of Working Men, Crime
and Its Causes, and similar subjects, and ex
tracts from various reports showing the con
dition of National Banks in the State and
of insurance companies. The bulk of the
volume is taken up with particular reports
from what are supposed to be typical repre
sentatives of classified industries in the diff
erent counties, In which reports the owner of
the works describes his establishment and
tells the value of his products, number of
hands employed, wages paid, &c. Anony
mous working men in tho several counties
send statements of the amount of wages they
receive, the number of persons in their fam
ilies, the disposition they make of their mon
ey, &c, &c, and tho railroad and iron com
panies also furnish tables showing the num
ber of workmen employed in different de
partments, and the wages paid them. These
reports are not tabulated or otherwise di
gested all work of that sort is left for the
reader to do himself if he desires to get any
real substantial information of tho "social
condition" of the working men of the State.
At the end of tho report proper is published
a mass of undigested information about the
Centennial Exhibition, mrdo up of speech
es, circulars, descriptions of buildings taken
from official catalogue, clippings from news
papers, and lists of officers, clerks, &c, and
of Pennsylvaniaus to whom awards were
granted. The volume no doubt contains
much information of value, and ,may prove
of some use as a book of reference, but It is
not such a report on the Industries of Penn
sylvania as the magnitude and importance
of those industries demand.
NEWMYER.
Some of our exchanges publish the expres
sions of Newmyer, of Allegheny.now Speak
er of the State Senate, upou national topics.
Interviewers must be hard up for material
when they attach Importance to anything he
may say. While in the lower IIouso at
Harrisburg, he was remarkable only for his
devotion to Bob Mackcy,bombastlc speeches,
and lack of influence. On one occasion ho
was placed in the Chair for tho purpose of
rushing through Mackey s Treasury bill, as
Elliott, tho Speaker, declined to do the dirty
job. Newmyer mado the eflort, but the in
dignation of both sides at his "bulldozing"
was so Intense that he was compelled to
come back to the rules, or he would havo
been thrown out of a window. Such men
may bo able to run a Pittsburg ward, but
their opinions can have no weight in the
btate or Nation.
BUTT AGAIN.
Preacher Bott of Philadelphia who was re'
cently tried in tho criminal court of that city
resulting in a disagreement of the jury, is in
trouble again. Ho was charged with lmnron-
cr intimacy with a member of his flock, and
during the trial his wife clung to him. But
since then he is said to have treated her
badly, and continued his criminal Intimacy,
and his wife quietly moved out while he was
passing an evening with his other love. Tho
facts of this new departure were published in
tuo Junes, witu statements made by one
Rink, tho sexton of Holt's church.whcreupon
Itott called a meeting of his congrcation to
deny the wholo thing. He had inhispos'
scssiou a written denial signed by all the par'
tics mentioned iucluding Rink. Now Rink
domes that ho ever signed it. Wheu Mr.
Itott is again tried for adultciy there may bo
an indictment against him for forgery.
Next year Nevada will elect a United States
Senator to succeed Joncs.and there is a dispo'
bit ion in some of tho quarters to elect a rosi'
dent of the btate, if those who owu Nevad
and live ia Su Framisco will consent to tho
arrangement.

Lieutenant KlptcliPr and A. P. Chapman,
with a giildo, luiind the Indian chief Joseph
and his full force herd to-d.iy In n hollow
between tho mountains at the mouth of Cot
tonwood Creek. General Howard engaged
him at mice. Ho circled his force around
the pack train and attacked Joseph with
thrco howitzers and several Gatllng guns.
The fight lasted from ono p. in. to eight p.
in. Thcro wero -100 men under General
Howard, nnd .100 under Joseph. Tho fight
ing was very careful on both sides, the Indi
ans lying In tho grass and ehooting from be
hind rocks nud timber llko sharp-shooters,
while our men fired rapidly so as to ap
proach through tho open tahlo land.
There wero eleven killed and twenty-nlno
wounded on our side. Among tho latter wero
Captain B.incroft, of the Fourth Artillery,
badly wounded in tho left side while gallant
ly charging tho Indians, and Lieutenant
Williams wounded in the arm and leg while
courageously holding n disputed point. Both
theso gentlemen will recover.
We charged tho Indians twico, driving
them past tho rllle pits. At dark wo held
all tho positions on tho hill. Joseph was
strongly intrenched on tho cuiyon below.
A detachment of Indians tried to cut oil'
a pack train which was coming to us, but
they were driven back. Some of tho In
dians tried ,to divert attention from their
slock and families by riding In full view
nlong our entire line, bellowing in derision
at our ineffectual attempts to hit them. Both
sides fought with great determination. The
soldiers, under Captain Miller charged tho
Indians In tho pits, driving them to and
acrois the river, snd they are now supposed
to be in full retreat toward Camas Prairie
and the Snake country.
Our troops captured tho entire camp,
which was very rich with plunder. We also
captured a squaw, who says seven Iudians
were killed outright and that the number
wounded was very great. Thirteen arc known
to havo been killed. Sho says tho chiefs
wanted to fight and die at the river, but the
squaws urged them to movo away.
An Important Decision.
Building and Loan Associations will find
the case of Walbach nnd wife vs. The Le
high Building Association, recently decided
by the Supreme Court, f special interest to
them. It is there held that a married wo
man cannot become a member of a building
association, nor bind herself to them by
bond or mortgage for tho repayment of a
loan, together with premiums, fines and
dues. In this case Mrs. Walbach had bor
rowed money from the association for the
improvement of her separate estate, to secure
the repayment of which she and her hus
band exe:utcd a mortgage, and the wife as
signed as collateral security certain shares
of stock of the association, held in her
name, and agreed to pay th dues thereon,
or in default thereof certain fines to the as
sociation. A scire facial was issued on the
mortgage, on which, judgment for the full
amouutwas entered in the Court below. This
was reversed. The Supreme Court holds
that the wife is bound only to the extent of
the actual money received by her, and legal
interest ; that the act 12th April, 1809, pro
viding that the pie nium and fines accruing
to a building association should not be
deemed ust riou , dj ei not apply to a loan
made by a married woman. The Court
holds that a married woman is incapable of
incurring tho liabilities she undertakes to
assume in becoming a member of a buildiug
association : that it mieht with caual uro-
priety be held that she could unite with
others in a contract to build a railroad or
any other adventuro or speculation, and
pledge her separate property for the pay
ment of her portion of the outlays and ex
penses. This decision will likely startle
building and loan associations,
Is There a Job in It?
Tho Inspectors of the Montgomery Coun
ty Prison on Monday last made application to
tho Commissioners for an appropriation to
extend tho walls, Ac, of the Montgomery
County Prison. They ask the sum oi'$10,000.
There may bo need of some moro room at the
prison now, but this is a large Bum of money
and tlie Comuiissisners should givo the mat
ter a close investigation. The Montgomery
County Prison cost a largo amount of money
and it has always been considered that tho
job was au inferior one. Every now and then
front wall or something else has to bo
straightened or repaired that costs tho couuty
a clever round sum of money. $10,000 is a
big sum of money, and now that wages arc
low there may be aud very probably is a largo
sum of money in it that will go into some
body s pocket, that every now and then need
replenishing at the expeuse of the couuty.
The 1'risou has been and is now co.-ting a big
round sum ol money, and whilst tho Commis
sioners probably should not refuse to keep
needful requirements, they should givo every
proposition ot tho kiud tho closest scrutiny.
Tho county has paid within fifteen years past
immcnso sums in the way of taxes and a com
paratively few individuals have managed to
get a largo portion of it during that time.
Now let things bo closely watched. Norrif

SUl'HEME JUUUE.
Judgo Ludlow of Philadelphiahas written
a letter declining to allow his name to be
used before the Democratic State Conven
tion as u candidate for the Supreme Bench,
aud refusing to accept the nomination, if
tendered him. If we remember rightly,
Judgo Ludlow wrote a similar letter just be'
fore the Wilkesbarre convention, and secur
cd the nomination In the same way. But
he is an excellent Judgo, and will probably
bo re-elected to the Common Pleas without
opposition, while there Is a little doubt as
to the result In the State, so that his conclu
sion is a wise one If he means It.
IIOILF.R EXPLOSION.
A terriblo explosion occurred in the oro
mines some nino miles from Macungie this
State, on tho morning of the Mth inst. Twcn
ty-six men were employed at tho time, of
whom thrco were instantly killed, fivo fatally
and three seriously injured. All of thoso
killed leave families. Tho causo of the ex
plosion has not been asccitained. Tho boiler
had been in position over four years and in
steady operation lor the past six months. The
works are operated by tho Lehigh Iron com
pany,
Judge Wright, the colored expounder of
the law In South Carolina, who has been
suspended from the bench because of his
fondness for stimulating drink.has dlcovered
an original way for escaping a temperance
pledge. They got him Into a temperance
meeting and tried to Induce him to sign, but
be refused on the ground that If he signed
everybody would say it was a confession that
he drank, whereas the truth was he never
took anything stronger than "thartharparll
la, and that wouldn't hurt anybody."
The honhl.'ina Crimes.
Thcro havo bcou many declarations from
various sources recently, to tho effect that tho
indictment of tho rncmbcraof tho Louisi.im
Returning Board by tho New Orleans grand
jury, Is a violation of tho plighted faith of
tho Nicholls Kovcttimi'iit and a breach of the
vital tenm or conditions pnvedoiit to the
peaceful t'slalilMimciit ol'tlui Nichc-lls admin
istration by tho Conimi.-MOii of President
Hayes. Theso utterances havo bubbled out
from all sorts of places near to tho fountain
of power, aud havo sobbed through trembling
organs to tho public ; but until yesterday there
was no nuthoritativu declaration to tho world
that one of tho means employed to drive
Packard from his usurped mockery of author
ity and install tho officers (honestly chosen by
tho people of Lousiana, was tho agreement
between tho representatives of the President
and tho Nicholls government on tho ono side,
nnd tho discomfited revolutionists who had
desolated the State nnd shamed tho nation by
their infamy on tho other side, that all law
lessness, from murder down through forgery,
perjury, embezzlement, to assault and battery,
that 'could 13 called political, must ho abovo
tho law and defy its retribution.
Judge Lawrence, of Illinois, regarded as
ono of tho most Intelligent, uptight and con
servative of tho Louisiana Commission, yes
terday mado the apparent official statement
to tho public, through tho Chicago Jnter-
Ocean, that tho indictment of tho members
of the Louisiana Returning Board "is a gross
violation of the pledges of the Richollt govern
ment, 11 was the distinct understanding that
there should be no political prosecutions,"
This startling confession from one of the lead
ing members of tho Commission, that one of
tho achievements of that body was tho suc
cessful compounding of the gravest felonies
ever perpetrated in any portiouof tho Union,
is a declaration that holds up tho names of
Lawrence, Hawley, Harlan, MacVcagh and
lirown to the execrations of every lover of
law and justice. That purely political offen
ses wero to bo coudoned upon the withdrawal
of the troops and tho restoration of a sover
eign Stato to tho rightful sovereignty of her
people, was admitted and approved by all dis
passionate citizens ; but what aro political of
fenses? They aro easily defined and well un
derstood even by tho wayfaring man. Two
rival governments claimed to exercise author
ity iu tho State, each with its complete de
partments, executive, legislative and judicial;
with military and police ; with tax-gatherers
and sheriffs, and with all tho agencies and
ceremonies of a do facto administration, lloth
could not bo lawful, and ono or tho other, with
all its subordinates, was amenablo to the law
for usurpation, oppression, trespass, etc. It
was certainly well that when tho people found
lawful govcrmcnt established, with peace
and protection to all its offerings, they should
bo rescued from the turbulence and discord
and inflamed passious which must have fol
lowed tho vindictive prosecution of thosowho
had offended under color of law or under tho
pretence of exercising lawful authority ; and
to forgive nil that multitude of offenders and
restore a Commonwcath to tranquility and
law, was but the office of wisdom and pat
riotism. But is the public thief who has plundered
the revenues of the peoplo to escape because
he stole in the name of a party ? Is the offi
cial cmbtzzlerto go unwhipped of justice be
cause he was a standard-bearer in political
battles? Ia the forger to cscapo because he
forged for a party to defraud whole communi
ties or a wholo State out of tho expressed
popular will ? Is the perjurer to defy the law
because ho perjured his soul to put a political
friend in tho Legislature, in Congress, in a
Stato offico or even in the Presidential chair?
Is the red-handed murderer to bo abovo the
law becauso he slew only thoso who wero con
triving to defeat his party at tho poll, ? Was
this tho mission, this the "distinct understand
ing," made by such men a's Lawrence, Haw
ley, Harlan, MacVcagh and Brown, when
they wero ostensibly seeking to havo justice
born of law in a laud where both have long
bceu strangers? If so, they have strangely
misconceives! the considerate judgment of tho
country and of tho world, aud have made
themselves the confederates of a class of crim
inals whose record of crime is adjudged by
c'.vilization as without a single feature to plead
in extcuuation of of its uiiuitnsled villainy.
As yet but one ol the members of the Lou
isiana Commission has thus confessed the
consuming shame that ho would accept for
himself and his associates. Other members
lave been loosely quoted as assenting to tho
views of Judgo Lawrence, but they should
not bo judged on so grave an issue until they
shall speak for themselves. Until then it
would be most unfair to assume that such
men as Hawley, Harlau, MacVcagh, and
Brown would be forgetful of the plainest ob
ligations, which all citizens, in both public
aud private life, owe to law and justice, aud
we arc unwilling to condemn them: hut unless
Judgo Lawrcuco shall himself explain his ex
planation of the actiou ol tho Commission,
they will owe it to themselves to wash their
skirts of the stuins he has put upon them.
As to President Hayes, howover much ho
may feel concerned about tho developments
which may bo mado affecting tho iutegrity of
the vote of Louisiana, by the trial of tho
members of tho Returning Board in the crim
inal courts, he has but ono course to pursue,
aud that is so plain he cannot mistake it. He
received his title from a tribunal thatwascro
ated tho lawful authority of the nation, and to
whicli the wholo country yielded obedience at
tho time, and to whose judgment tho wholo
peoplo bow to-day, and ho cannot for a mo
ment pause to parley with crime or criminals
who may havo mado his triumph possible.
Tho day ho espouses tho cause of Wells and
his associates, even to tho extent of pleading
or suggesting, directly or indirectly,that grand
juries and courts and tho law shall be stayed
in tho punishment of such offenses as forgery
and perjury, that day will turn from him tho
trust and bupport of just men of all parties,
and ho will be ground to powder between the
upper and the nether millstones. Philadel

A Luzerne County Mine burning,
A fierce fire is raging In the Roaring Brook
colliery at Dunmore, in tho suburbs of

the 17th Inst., in the stable situated In the
lower vein 300 feet below tho surface of the
earth, and was discovered before six o'clock
in the morning by the watchman, who found
all tho mules ten In number burned to death
A gang of men have been busy all day try
ing to extinguish the names. A fireman was

The heat and smoke are intense, and the

Ohio Sure fur the Democracy.
John G. Thompson, chairman of the Ohio
Democratic Stato Committee, has gone to
Columbus to arrange for tho meeting of the
Democratic Convention July 25, Mr.
Thompson has no doubt whatever of a Dem

The Republican Convention which meets a
week later, promises to bo a spiritless af

dorsement of Hayes, though it will probably
be done.

was Insolently accosted by n notorious rufllau
who had been driven from Alazatlan for be
ing too ferocious nnd lawtcss for even the
rough population of that port to endure.
Tho fellow was Insolent beyond mcnsure,and
Sutter, who is an old man. quietly requested
him to movo ou. The desperado replied with
blasphemous oaths,aud significantly exposed
tho hilt of n long and keen knife. Upon
this inenaco the consul withdrew into his
ollico and took n revolver from his desk.
Tho bully outside, teeing the preparations
for defense, hurled a brick at Sutter, who,
perceiving that hostilities had really com
menced, fired. He hud Intruded merely to
fiio over the desperado's head, but ho aimed
low nnd tho ball furrowed his scalp. The
Mexican fell not dead but stunned. Sutter
was immediately arrested. Ho was tried be
foro a judge who was hostile to hlni, but who
with commendable justice, acquitted hlni.
On the day following, the lower class in
Acapulco, probably Instigated by the Mexi

citizen named Kastan, ono of tho richest

siring him to make as speedy restitution as
possible. Jiminez was at that time military
governor of Acapulco. IIo received Diaz's
instructions with jeers, and refused point,
blank to move in the matter. Sutter, per
ceiving the stato of affairs, wroto a formal
protest to Diaz and ouo to Foster,tho Amer
ican minister to tho City of Mexico. He
had hardly performed this necessary act
when he was again arrested, at whose insti
gation hu was unable to discover, and thrown
into tho town jail. This was in fact n
noisome dungeon, and alter tho lapse of
eight or ten days tho unfortunate counsel
was seized with a malarial attack, aud his
situation became so dangerous that tho mili
tary surgeon recommended his release from
prison. Accordingly ho was liberated.
Foster, hearing of this additional outrage,
sent to Diaz a mandatory request for satis
faction. Diaz forthwith appraised Jiminez
that the seizure was illegal and that Sutter s
procedure was justified. Jiminez positively
refused to recognize the order. Affairs were
in this critical condition when the Pensacola,
which had been ordered to tho spot from
Panama by the Navy department, arrived
and dropped her anchor in tho barbor. Sut
ter reported the outrage to Admiral Murray,
of the flagship. The Admiral Immediately
trained his big guns on the town, ordered
marines under arms, and landing had an
audience with Jiminez. Ho stated in a few
terse sentences what he desired, and wasted
no sime in unnecessary ceremonies. Sutter
should reccivo instant unconditional libera'
tion ; Kastan's claims should be speedily
adjudicated) and reimbursement mado ; tho
American flag was to bo raised, and with tho
consul, was to be saluted by the Mexican
guns; otherwise and Jiminez needed no
extraordinary acutcness to perccivo that tho
stern old Admiral meant what he said the
Pensacola would immediately batter the
town down about Jiminez's ears. Cannon
instantly effected what protests had failed to
achieve. Jiminez became very affable and
tractable. He guaranteed tho consul's im
mediate unconditional release and tho set
tlement of Kastran's claims. The stars and
stripes were flung to the breeze and tho Mex
ican guns roared a salute and another to the
consul. The Pensacola courteously respond
ed with a salute. It was agreed by tho Ad
miral's stipulation that Kastrau should ap
point a commissioner to assess damages, aud
the affair was settled.
Mollie Mugnires Discharged.
Last Monday morning at Pottsville, Judgo
Green discharged Muff Lawlor, John Slattcry
and Charles Mulhern, thrco of tho Mollio
Maguires who turned state's evidence during
tho late trials.
Tho abovo trio have been patiently waiting
for the past six months for their freedom, and
left tho town on the first train in very jubilant
spirits. Each ono entered in $1,000 on his
own recognizance. Lawlor was arrested and
found guilty as an accessory after tho fact to
tho killing of Sanger and Uren. Ho turned
state's evidence and corroborated M'Parlan,
tho detective, very strongly, against Thomas
Munlcy, ono of the murderers who expiated
his crime upon tho gallows on the iilst of last
month.
Mulhern and Slattcry were arrested and
tried for conspiring to kill William and Jesse
Major, of Mahanoy city, Mulhern pleaded
guilty in both, turned state's evidence, which
convicted Michael Doolan of tho same ch argc.
Doolan was sentenced to one year's imprison
ment. Doolan has been incarcerated for tho
past ten months awaiting sentence.
Mulhern in his evidence gave information
which led to the arrest of "Yellow Jack"
Donahue, for the murder of Morgan Powell a
boss at Summit Hill, for which crime ho was
hung at Mauch Chunk.
Mulhern was ono of tho most important wit
nesses ttio commonwealth had during tho
progress of the Mollio Maguiro trials, and
gave valuablo information, which led to the
conviction of several murderers.
The roll of the new House of Representa
tives as completed by the clerk, gives the
Democrats a majority of eighteen, and not
eight as erroniously reported, with seven
contested seats. Four of these are In Cali
fornia, and the questions involved are being
adjudicated in the courts of that State. In
Colorado thero was a dispute as to the time
of holding the election. Tho Republican,
who holds tho Governor's certificate, was
elected on the day which the Democrat
claimed was not the day, according to law.
The Democrats afterward voted for their
candidate, the Republicans running no one.
The other contestants aro from Florida,
Louisiana and Missouri.
It Is told as a fact, Bays the Oxford Press,
that a Lancaster county farmer who claimed
to be too poor to take a newspaper, sold his
wheat last week for $1,30 per bushel, when
the market price was over $2. The loss sus
tained by blm in this single operation would
have paid for a paper for forty-three years.
Comment Is unnecessary.
If it is true, as aunouuocd iu tho Washing
ton Jtepublican, that Ben Wado has hecomo
reconciled to tho President's policy, then tho
band may as well stop playing. Thore never
can bo any adequate musia without tho big

llnlhtlng ii Court Homo Under Dlfllculllcs.
Up In Wayne county, thfs state, they aro
experiencing considerable difficulty In the
erection of their now court house Tho
county commissioners of Bucks arc very
dci-ply Interested Just at present on the sub
ject of court houses, and arc trying to ob
tain all the information pnssiblo in order
that they may bo benefitted by the experi
ence of others, and avoid, If possible, their
difficulties. Commissioner Keller has a
brother living at Houcsdale, Wayno county,
and ho wroto to him some time ngo con
cerning tho court houso being built thero.
His brother sent tho following reply: "I
think you in Bucks county will havo your
court houso built nnd paid for beforo ours
Is uuder roof. Tho fact Is as I told you last
fall, Tho peoplo became alarmed and havo
stopped tho whole thing for the time, I will
give you n short history of this court houso
business. After getting tho presentments
from tho grand jury nnd tho order from tho
court to go on with tho work, the commis
sioners gave tho peoplo to understand that
they would build a seventy-five or eighty
thousand dollar court house. They visited
Media, in Delaware county, and inspected
tho court houso there, and mado up their
minds to build ono llko It. They went at
the foundation, nnd at the same timo they
employed Mr. John A, Wood, architect, of
New York City, to prepare tho plans and
elevation. At tho beginning of November
the foundation was nearly completed, some
of tho brick and water table ou tho ground,
nnd when the county statoment camo out it
was found that the commissioners had al
ready expended about thirty-eight thousand
tlollars without having completed tho foun
dation. You will readily seo that this a
roused tho tax-payers. At tho February
election tho commissioners went beforo tho
people to get the consent of the voters to
issue bonds to tho amount of ouo hundred
nnd six thousand dollars. The voters voted
against au increase of debt by a majority of
threo to one. The next step was to put up
tho valuation on property so as to iucrcaso
tho taxes, but this met a great deal of op
position, nnd at best was too slow a way of
raising the wind. Well tho next move was
to go beforo May court andget thej court.to
legalize the issuing of bonds to tho amount
of oue hundred and twenty-eight thousand
dollars, making in all one hundred and
slxty-threo thousand dollars. In the mean
time tho anti-court house men applied to
tho court for an injunction to enjoin them
from building the court house. Judgt
Drcher decided that the commissioners bad
a legal right to go on with the work, bu
that they had no right to run the county in
debt without tho approval of the court of
quarter sessions of Wayno county. Judgo
Drcher sent this decree to this placo from
Stroudsburg, and Judgo Waller called court
together to meet in three days after to decide
whether tho county should be bonded or not
to raise tho money. The President Judgo,
Waller, was williug to give them thirty
eight thousand dollars to pay the present
Indebtedness, and when they got a responsi
ble contractor to complete the building for
Bixty-eight thousand dollars ho was willing
to give that sum. But the associate judges
both voted against issuing any bonds, so
they were too many for him. To close my
remarks on tho court house matter the foun
dation is not completed and the county is
now in debt nbout thirty-eight thousand
dollars and not a dollar in tho county treas
ury. The idea that Wayne county, ono of
the poorest counties in tho State, should
build ono of the most costly court houses in
Pennsylvania, could only originate iu the
brains of either Knaves or fools." Demo

A WITNESS AflAINST THE I'ltOPHET.
Captain John Tobin, formerly a resident
of California, later of St. Louis, and still
later of Springfield, 111., will bo one of Dis
trict Attorney Howard's principal witnesses
to provo Bnghnm loung's peisonal connec-
tion with tho massacre of the Gentiles. His
name is mentioned in Lee's confession. Ho
tells a long story, which is in substance that
having gained the confidence of Young by
aiding Mormon emigrants ho was appointed
Instructor of the Territoral militia, which
position he resigned because the cavalry
wero used as avengers. Subsequently he
undertook to guide a party of threo strong
outspoken anti-Mormons to California, but
tho party was overtaken by a band of mount
ed Mormons, led by Brigham Young, Jr.,
aud compelled to stop, under tho pretence
that they were going to California to mis'
represent Mormonism, They finally pro
ceeded, but were contiuually dogged by
Mormons, who at length fired upon them as
they wero encamping at night. The party
wero left for dead, and the Mormons taking
their horses, rode away. Sixty hours after
wards the United States mall wagon and a
party en-route to San Bernardino took them
up, but two of their number died soon after
Toblu received a shot in tho right eyo which
mado him nearly bund. He claims to havo
important documentary evidence of plot
tings against the Government and the Gen
tiles ou the part of Brigham Young.
Volcanic Eruption.
At ten o'clock on tho morning of tho 26th
ult. a frightful noise was heard at Latacun
ga. Ecuador, which was followed immediate
ly by a tremendous tlood, which taking tho
course of the rivers Cutachi, Sau Felipe and
Yanayaco and passing washed- tho city to
the chapel Elsalto. Tho volnme of mud
and water was so great as to completely co
ver the Haiccenda valley, including the dis-
tillory in frout of Latacuuga. .Tho flood in
its courso carried with It many cattle, and
what Is more sad, many bodies. Tho bridge
of Latacuoga, the handsome bridge of Boll
var In Pansalasco, those of wood of Culapa-
chen and Palate, and that of masonry of
Agoyan were all destroyed. All of the
Halccendas situated on both sides of tho
river have suffered enormously and the des
olatlon is terrible and complete.

Venus of Milo, tho statue about which so
much has been written, was again brought
beforo the public a few weeks ngo by a ro
port of the discovery of its arms nn tho island
of Melos, near tho placo where tho statuo it
self was found. hollowing that report,
which, coming from General Read, United
States Minister Resident nt Athens, was giv
en character nbnvo that of mcro rumor.camo
a denial from tho authorities of tho Louvre
(whero tho statuo Is) of any such "find."
Tho New York Herald lias since obtained
from Athens further particulars, from whicli
it appears that afier several false stories
about tho discovery of arms had been put in
circulation, ono of whicli credited the dis
covery to a party of French students sent
out by the Government, n dealer In antiqui
ties produced tho left arm and the hand of
a statue, and he declared that this arm and
hand belonged to the Venus of Milo. The
hand holds a iniror of marble, nud is said to
be finely executed. There is no evidence
that this arm nud hand belong to the Venus,
the only declaration to that effect being that
of the dealer in antiquities who says he
touud them. Between tho critics who think
that the Venus never had any arms, and
those who think that the arms were found
with the statue but were broken and lost.the
dealer iu antiquities will find it difficult to
establish his claims, especially as other
learned ciitics have demonstrated to their
own satisfaction contrary positions in which
tho arms mini havo been when tho statuo
was intact 1 Tho restoration of tho original
arms to the Venus of the Louvre would aim
ply serve to inutilnto the works of writers
who have felt called upon to speculate dog
matically as to the posture of tho missing
arms.
Sunday Funerals.
At a recent meeting of tho ministerial
association of Sunbury, the clergy of the
placo unanimously disapproved of Sunday
funerals, for tho reasons that they interfere
with tho regular services of tho Sanctuary
they impose additional labor upon the offici
nting minister, who is already sufficiently
taxed on that day; they often interfere with
tho Sunday School, and they aro apt to lead
to Sabbath desecration.
They therefore, in u resolution, express
their disapproval of holding funerals on tho
Lord's day, and kindly, but earnestly, urge
the citizcus of this community not to np
point funerals on said day, if it can possibly
be avoided.
Hayes Can't Save Them.
It is pretty plain now that the desperate
exertions of all the emissaries that tho Ad
ministration can send to New Orleans, even
If they include Senators Gordon and Lamar,
cannot stop theso prosecutions. Wells, An

convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary,
and this result will doubtless be followed by

If President Hayes cares nnythiug about
tho (Wpularity of his Administration, tho soon
