Tho legislative Record has como nt last,
and only to think that although the Legists
turn met on tho 2ml of January It only took
the Stnto prititer to the lot of February

number ! Hut now nnxlet; tor Its future
Appearance la turned to relief, and In tills

paper and about thirty constituents In each
District can rend Its thrilling pages until tbo
last number arrives, which Is generally
about tho next election,

Mindly strikes right and left. An Instance
of this was his arcusvlon ngalnst the cite
lion bwinl of Uenov, four of whom voted
for him, as shown In their protest published
ia tho Democrat last week. Among the
other charges lm mates Is a special charge
that 'joy. Cnrtin, or his Iriends, paid to Dr.
II, Straley $75 to bribe voters. The Doc
tor comes out in last week's Elk Ga:e lie and
pays : " declare most emphatically that
not n red copper has been spent In nn illegal
manner to secure Gov. Curtln's election, am
I brand the person or persons who circulated
this falsehood ns Infamous liars." Aoci-
Haven Democrat.
DRUNKENNESS NO EXCUSE FlMl CRIME.
In the caso of the Indictment against James
Hunt, for shooting at n person with fe
lonious Intent, it appeared that tto do
fendant was intoxicated at the time of the
shooting.
Judge Elwell, Id charging the jury said :
'It is my duty to tell you that the defend
ant's being Intoxicated does not alter the na
ture of the offence. If a man chooses to get
drunk it Is his own voluntary act. It is very
different from a madness or Insanity not
caused by the net of tho person.
That voluntary species of madness which
'is inn party's power to abstain from he must
answer for. However with regard to the in
tention,df unkenneu inay perhaps be advert
ed to according to the nature of the instrument
used.- If s man used a stick you would not
infer a malicious Intent so strongly against
htm, if drunk when bo made an intemper
ate use of it, as you would if ho had used a
different kind of weapon; but where a dang
erous instrument la used which If used must
produce grievous bodily harm, drunkenness
can have no effect on the consideration of
the malicious intent of the party. Here the
weapon used was a revolver. The only ques
tion for you to determine is whether the shot
was fired with the Intent charged in, the in.
dictment."
The Middle, Penitentiary.
The appropriation ol $600,000 for the
.middle state penitentiary is intended to
cover two years. Its erection is said to be
a growing necessity as there are fears of an
epidemic in the eastern penitentiary owing
td its crowded condition. Wilson brothers,
architects and englneera,of Philadelphia say
they can complete the building in two years.
The commission say the appropriation
amounts to $70,000 per quarter and when it
is exhausted they will present tho building
complete,
Judge. Woodhnll having refuted to accept
a plea qf guilty of murder in the second de
gree in the case of Thomas Graham, Indict
ed with Benjamin Hunter, in Camden, for
the murder of John M. Armstrong, Attor
ney General Stockton has applied for a writ
of removal, which will be granted, and the
case will be tried in the Supreme Court, in
bane, at Trenton, on the fourth Tuesday in
February. Sheriff Calhoun will transfer
all the papers, documents, to the State
authorities.
Governor Hartranft has settled down 1
Philadelphia, to bo within convenient dis
tance when he shall be Bummonl to the
collector's office. Philadelphia is a good
point from which to run the political ma
chine.
SI. S. Quay has been confirmed
by
the .Senate as Secretary of the Common
wealth, and David .H. Lane as Becorder of
Philadelphia.
Dispatches from Washington represent that
it is the general opinion among lawyers famil
iar with the subject that tho Arlington eject'
ment suit, which the United States district
court has just decided in favor of the Lee cs
' Ute, will also bo decided by the United States
supreme' court, to which it has been appealed
in favor ot the plaintiffs The judgment of
tbo lower court restores the Citato to General
Lee, and coils for the ejectment of all tenants
who iiavo been in possession since the transfer
of tho estato under tax sale in 1863. This in
eludes the United States as a tenant of th
Rational cemetery, tho fifteen thousand bod
ies of dead union soldiers that rest hcrein.and
the government signal office and station at
Fort Whipple. This decision undoubtedly
gives encouragement to the managers of tho
bill now pending, which proposes that Cea
gross shall purchase tho property. It is just
to General Lee to say that ho has no desire
to disturb tho patriot dead or to regain pos'
Bossion of that part of Arlington cemetery
proper, which is but a trilling- portion ot the
wholo estate. General Lee has only wished
to establish his entire property.rights to tbo
lands in question, and is quite willing td sur
render that portion of tho estate or the whole
ot it to the government at a fair valuation.
This decision shows that the courts have been
unwilling to sustain one of the most arbitrary
acts ot tue great war minster, Secretary Stan
ton. It is certain that he declined to receive
the tender of taxes made prior to the sale, by
northern relatives of General Leo, on the
ground that Gen. Robert K. Lee was a rebel
and no rclativo should bo permitted to redeem
hi prpcrty. Secretary Stanton, the court
says bad no authority to do this, and it is
practically upon that act alone that tbo whole
case turned. The judge who rendered the
decision cannot be charged with being
southern sympathizer. Gazelle Bulletin.
Quickly followls-" ;b'e death of Judg,
CadwalTaderlate of the U. 8. District Court
conies the notice ol the decease of his broth
er, Gen. Cadwallader, also of Philadelphia.
The General distinguished himself in the
Mexican war, and served in tho late war.
As we remember It, his principal exploit was
to aid Gens. Couch and Albright In putting
down a mythical Insurrection In this County,
a ak that occupied several mouths ; In
fact until after Lincoln's re-election.
Mr. Uonkllijr, Gets his Deserts.
Mr, Roscoo Conkllng, in a controversy
with the Administration, has been badly
beaten, Tbo defeat is In many ways disas
trous to him. It puts into- the New York
Custom House, In placo ol one of Ills' own
most popular and devoted adherents, a tire
less worker for a hated rival. It deprives
him of much of the prestige of his recent
triumphs. It smites and humbles his tower
ing pride. The defeat, too, shows that In
Inviting delay, his tactics were at fault ; ns
was his judgment In under estimating the
strength ot the enemy, lie should have
known that to a purchaser time affords op
portunity to Increase his purchases; and
when, a few days ago, bo once had victory
within his reach, he should have grasped it,
and made sure of the advantage of his own
present strength, Instead of calculating on
the continuance of his enemy's weakness.
The dfeat shows him to have been n mis
taken calculator ; a maladroit manager.
liut this Is not all. Were It nil, the case
would not be so bad for Mr. Conkllng. lty
whose hand has Mr. Conkllng fallen ? By
what shame is he covered ?
Ho has fallen by the hand Into which ho
himself pnt the knife to slay the Constitu
tion nf bis country, lie Is burled deep Un.
der thq sham which he himself signally aid
ed In spreading over the whole laud.
In a debato on these very Custom House
appointments, a few days ago, Mr. Conkllng
Is reported to have spokeu of Mr. Hayes as
"the so-called President." That means that
in the opinion of Mr. Conkllng Mr. Hayes
is not lawfully President at all. If Mr,
Conkling believes so now, he believed so n
great while ago ; he believed so Irom tho be
ginning ; he must have believed so when It
lay entirely and unquestionably in his own
power tn prevent Mr. Hayes from being
placed In nn office to which he had not been
elected.
No obligation could bo higher, none could
be more imperative, than that which rested
on Mr. Conkling to interpose his objections,
when they would have been potent nnd ef
fective, between Mr. Hayes and the great
office at which he was clutching without
constitutional or lawful warrant. To the
voice of his country, to the voice of duty,
at the supreme moment when the great ques
tion was to be decided, Senator Conkling
turned a deaf ear. He was absent from bis
post, or when present, hesitation, doubt, fear
or some miscalculated personal advantage,
sealed his lips. It is only when he finds
himself overwhelmed in the common calami
ty in which he helped to involve his country
that bo cries out in pain about the "so called
President."
Honest and earnest patriots need waste no
sympathy over the defeat of a public ser
vant who was unfaithful in the great crisis,
Mr. Conkling has received his deserts. That
is all.
Of course the Administration traded pat
ronage for votes, as other Administrations
have done before it. A pity it may be, if no
more exalted consideration could prompt
btm toltuty, that it never occurred to Mr,
Conkling that if ho installed a robber iu the
White House, his own pocket might one
day be picked. If Mr. Conkling had thought
of this "that man Hayes' "the so-called
n .! j.iti i ,
irrsmeni migai never nave, Deen so-

Arrearages of Pensions.
The bill providing for the payment of ar
rearages of pensions has passed, It is official
ly estimated that it will require $20,000,000
to carry out the provisions of the bill.
That ali pensions which have been grant
ed unUer the general laws regulating pen
alons or may hereafter be granted, in conse
quence or death from a cause which origi
nated in the United Slates service during the
continuance of the late war of the rebellion
or in consequence of wounds, injuries or dis
ease received or contracted in said service
during the said war of the rebellion, shall
commence from the date of the death or dis
obarge from said service of the person on
whose account the claim has been or shall
hereafter be granted, or from the termina
tion of the right of the party having prior
title to such pension ; provided tbo rate of
pension for the intervening time for which
arrears of pension are heroKv yanted shall
be the same per monti for which the p ension
month was originally giauteu.
Cn n n-L. i. , , - .
, iimi iue vummissioucr ot i en
sions Is hereby authorized and directed to
adopt such rules and regulations for the
paymeut of the arrears ot pensions hereby
granted as will be necessary to cause to be
paid to such pensioners, or if the peuslon
-i. 1 1 i . .
era sunn nave uieu, to me person or per
sons entitled to the same all such arrears
of pensions as the pensioner may be or would
nave been entitled to under this act.
Sec. 3. That section 4,717 of the Revised
Statutes, which provides that "No claim for
pension, not prosecuted to a successful issue
within five years from the date of Cling the
same, snail be admitted without record evi
dence from the War or Navy Department of
the injury of the disease which resulted in
the disability or death of persons on whose
account the claim is made; provided, that
in any cause in which the limitation pre-
prescriDea by this section bars the further
prosecution of the claim, the claimant may
present, through the pension office, to the
Adjutant Ueneral of the army or the Sur
geon General of the navy, evidence that tho
disease or injury which resulted in thd disa
bility or death of the person on whose ac
count the claim is .made originated in the
service and in the line of duty. And if such
evidence ia deemed satisfactory by theolDcer
to whom It may be submitted, he shall cause
a record of the fact so proved to be made,
and a copy of the same to be transmitted to
the Commissioner of Pensions : and the bar
to the prosecutionof the claim shall thereby
be removed,' be and the same is hereby re
pealed.
Seo. 4. No claim agent or other persona
snail be entitled to receive any compensation
ior services on making application for
arrears or pension.
An Inge nious means of robberv has recent
ly come under the notice of tbo Paris nolice.
A man dressed like a peasant and carrvinrr
on uis oacjc an apparently neavy burden, was
passing before a shop when he fell aud broke
a sheetofplateglass worth atleastOOO francs.
The proprietor seized him, but he averred
mat bad he no money to tav with. Twn
passers-by advised the shopkeeper to search
him, which was done, and on him was found
a bank note for 1,000 franca. He averred
with feigned grief that it belonged to his em.
pioyer, but the shopkeeper Insisted on pay
ing himself out of it, and to that effect gave
him 600 francs and sent him away sobbing
bitterly. The note was forged, the advisers
were confederates, and the victim not onlv
lost his plate glass window but 600 francs
Into the bargain.
In England fo'rty bushols of wheat

to iier own crop to feed her people.
A Wife's Right of Dower tn Property Sold at
Assignee's Hale.
Tho recent decision ol the Supreme Court
of this State respecting the wife's right of
dower In property disposed nf by assignee's
sale has created mora stir stnoig the legal
profession than any decision rendered by this
tribunal for many, years. The question In
volved was one of vital Interest to thousands
who have been treading the tortuous paths
of bankruptcy within the list five years, nnd
although when tho opinion of tho court was
first announced, many over estimated nnd
exaggerated Its effects, they will neverthe
less be very marked anil will uoubllcs sweep
a great many bargains In real estate out oT
tho hands of Innocent purchasers and re
Invest tho titles In the families of.tlie bank
rupts. Deplore ns we may and do the loss which
will fall upon honest nnd unsuspecting pur
chasers of tho estates ol bankrupts, we must
admit that the law as defined by tbo court
will nlso bo productive of uutch good nnd
In many cases work out n poetic nnd retri
butive jusiico. How many estates have
been adjudged btnkruptand tjiese swallowed
up by professional assignees? Who can not
point to numerjus banktupt estates where
there were assets enough to pay almost, If
not tho full claims of creditors, yet where
no one got anything but tho shrewd nnd
tricky as-lgneo ; nnd again, who were the
purchasers of the Innumerable pieces of real
estate sold at bankrupt sales, nnd to what
class did they belong 1 Were they not
nlno cases In ten stool pigeons with whom
the assignee had a perfect understanding be
forehand, and to whom property wns knock
ed down "nt merely nominal prices, nnd
bought In the Interest of tlio seller? Who
then wlU feel like shedding many tears If
some of theseiraiKiucif purchasers of bank
rupt estates nro compelled to return to the
wifetir wid-iw of the unfortunate debtor a
portion of their ill-gotten gains ?
ISutnsido from these features which may
possibly be termed theromautic,tliodecl-'lou
itself is generally considered sound law by
the ablest legal minds in the country, ami i
so pronounced nu the very simple prln
clple that an assignor can not cede or b
dispossessed by adjudication of a court of
powers, which ho never had. Under the
laws of Pennsylvania a married man
cannot dispose of real estato without th
consent of his wife, who must join him i
the transfer, and acknowledge separate nnd
apart from him that htr act is free and vol
untary. Now.wheu the man who Is perfect
ly solvent cannot convey property without
his wife s free participation in the act, how
can ho assign, or any court deprive him of
such power 7
The question, it is said, will be taken to
the United States Supreme Court, aud if this
prove true, wo feel satisfied the decision of
our Supreme Court will be sustained.
