Tho insurance companies object to pay ing the amounts ot policies held bv the trustees of the Danville Insane Hospital, and a resolution was introduced in the House at llarrisburt!, on Tuesday last asking for in formation from the trustees as to the name and location of each com pany, the amount of each policy and the reason assigned tor noii-paymo:)t. Hello, hero's fun in prospect. Brady, ex-Second Assistant Postmaster-General, threatens to make it warm for divers and sundry Congressmen, if he is worried any moro about that star route swindle. Mow if ho only will, what a valuable lot of in formation ho will givo his countrymen. Don't stop him a few Congressmen more or less are or no account. Attorney-General Mao Veagh, at the request ot Postmaster-General .lames, has prepared an opinion upon the qucs tion ot the right or tho J ostmaster-uen-oral to prohibit tho delivery of registered letters and tho payment of money orders addressed and payable to M. A. D.m phin, secretary of tho Louisiana lottery company. The Attorney-General treats the case at somo length, and closes by saying that if the Postmaster-General finds upon evidence satisfactory to him, whatever its probative force with other minds, that 3lr. Dauphin is engaged in conducting a fraudulent lottery, he may, and should, forbid the delivery of money orders to him, and instruct postmasters to return to tho senders all registered let ters addressed' to 3Ir. Dauphin. THE ISLUUMSliUKO KINO. In every campaign in which county oflicers are to be elected, there is always moro or less talk about "The Blooiusburg King." By this, we presume, is meant some clique of politicians who are sup posed to influence nominations and con trol elections. If such a thing exists it is beyond our knowledge, but certain it is that there have been sonic nomina tions made by the Democrats of tins county, in past years, which we can hardly blame tho party for wishing to place on the shoulders of a few. There is a Bloomsburg Wing, howev er, with which we are well acquainted. It is not composed of professional poli ticians, nor ollico holders, nor otliceseek crs, but of men engaged in various pur unite, and whoso interest in polities is in duced only by a love of their country, and a desiro to se 'their party succeed. With very few exceptions, they are men who have never held any ollico of prolit, and probably never will ask any favors of that kind from the people. In every important campaign there must be public meetings, and speakers are expected to be furnished by tho Chairman of the county committee. The speaker is selected from the "Uloonisburg Itiug" and sent out to different points to talk to the people. He is granted many privileges. In tho iirst place, he is per mitted to hire his own horses, pay his own hotel bills, make his speech, after riding out through tho storm and dark ness, to reach remote points where the voter needs to bo stirred up, and then treat tho crowd; or come away, leaving tho ieelimr m the breasts ot lus listeners that he is an 'almighty mean' man. Then c.oino tho big parades,for which banners and torches and cups and brass bauds and halls and speakers from abroad must be provided. Tho rank and tile of the party cry out that such things must be provided by all means. Candidates de mand all this display to help along their own cause, and do not hesitate to do , nouncc tho county chairman as inelli cient if ho does not attend to all theso things. Meetings must bo announeefl-all over tho county, printing must bo done, and if tho printer refuses because he does not know who is to foot the bill, he arouses indignation against himself for tho simple intimation that tho candidates would refuse to pay their campaign ex penses. And so tho thing progresses. There nro the works, and music ami ex citement, and finally the campaign closes. Then conies a day of reckoning. Tho cash account is looked over and falls short of the necessary amount, several hundred dollars. A fund has perhaps been raised beforehand, but it is too small. It has been contributed mostly by a fow gentlemen ot Blooinsburg.who have no pecuniary interest whatever in tho result of the election. This Blooms burg King that has mado all tho speech, cs, paid all their own bills, and perhaps n good many of somo body else's, con tributed all -the funds, assisted only by ono or two county olHcers, havo got to put their hands in their pockets again nml again, and keep on paying until tho bills aro all hettled, because other county olliew, and the newly elected candidates, the only men who nio pecuniarily bene fitted by tho election, absolutely refuse to contribute anything towards tho expen peg. Tho pi inters who havo done most of tho priutiug,for thocainpaign.not only givo what they havo done, but havo to contribute money besides to keep up tho icputatiou of tho paity. All this is dono by tho "Hloomsbiirg King." Tho feeling is fast ifuininir ground, however, among those uho havo been doing thowoikand paving thu bills that hereafter tho men who get tho benelit of tho election will I-ao an oppoitunliy oi organizing u img of their own, whoso chief amusement will bo to pav tho expenses incurred in . pluoing tin ni in ollico, These mo plain J BWt U .a pubUo geneVnlly" ' fuel, and it is time tlio public generaii) understood what Is meant by tho "JJlocms Imi'g Rlbg." Senator Dorsev is highly indignant that ho should have been charged with complicity in tho star route frauds, and has addressed a letter to J'ostmaster General dames demanding nn investiga tion. He ceitainly should havo what he asks and tho sooner tho better. There is a wide-spread belief that there will not bo any whitewashing in Mr. Jnmes' re jioit. Somebody ought to go to the Pen itentiary, that's certain, but such a fato ought not to befall an ex-United States senator especially if lio is guiltless. Tho New York World's Pair project is dead. This was a foregono conclusion from the beginning, as there was a total lack of that general public interest indis pensable to tho success of such nn under taking. The failure will be a bitter pill to those citizens of the metropolis who havo always boasted of the zeal and liberality manifested in all public enter prises. Philadclphians will chuckle qui etly over tho disappointment of their neighbors. Prof. Swift of Rochester has discover ed a new comet nnd thereby won thu 200 prize offered by II. II. Warner. The comet is of flit size, very bright and is moving in a southerly direction. Prof. Proctor, tlio well-known astronomer, pre dicted the appearance ot a comet tins year and intimated that it might knock the earth into " smithereens," as it were. As a consequence, numbers of nervous and excitable people arc in a tremor of fear and apprehension. Tlio filthy condition of tlio streets of New York has begun to create alarm in tlio minds of tlio people of Boston and tho Transcript ot that city, a staunch Hcpublican sheet, has this to say; "Thank fortuno It la no concern of oui!"et- clalme-d a lSostontaD, retnrlni to tlio conellllcnet New York streets. Isn't It? When tho streets of the metropolis are ankle deep In rotliof tilth, when tho iljatli rato Is increasing dally, when lo'ectlous and contagious disease) aro developing a most mi Ilgnant type, Is It no concern ot ouiu.'

The report dwells principally upon the constitution ality of thu law allowing legislators extra pay lor cervices beyond a hundred days, Now that the committee has had a safe deliverance, it would bo a great boon to the public if all iiituro utterances were confined to thu courts. A judicial decis ion is tho only lealure in the case possess ing importance now. Lost, strayed, or stolen, a Senator from tul, tho XXIvtli district. Ithad been suoposed that hu was in tho neighborhood of Harnsburg, but as there is no track ot htm there, it may bo possible) that ho can bo round at Stl'lwnter, Columbia county, grind ing buckwheat. The above unjust and malicious aiticle appeared in last week's Danville Jntclli ijcnver. Mr. McIIenry has been constant in attendance at the sessions of the Sen ate and no complaint has been made tiiat his duties were neglected. The editor of tlio fiitelliiencer is a chronic applicant for tlio Senatorship, and doubtless thinks he would niako a superior statesman. lie would always be found in his place when tho Pennsylvania UAL had a bill to pass that's certain. If tilts rumors current in Washington are true, Ilor. Wayne Mac Veagh is re sponsible for a "heap o' trouble" to tho President, lie instituted a fight against tho appointment of that immaculate statesman, W. E. Chandler, as Solicitor General and now it is alleged that by very disingenuous means ho prevented the nomination of Mr. Grier, the only original Garfield man, for tho ollico of Second Assistant Postmaster-General. All of which doesn't tend to harmony in thu Hcpublican ranks. Between Blaine, Conkliug and Mao Veagh, it does not look as if Garlield had much influence in this administration. The friends of the President who have so loudly and fre quently proclaimed his possession of an unusually rigid backbone should devise some method of proving tho truth of their assertion. The oausu of the Senatorial deadlock has at last been made known. A number of Senators waited upon the President a few days ago, and in tho cheekiest and airiest manner, informed him just how matters stood. It seems that Widdlcbur ger and Mahonoaro only collateral issues, tho real reason for the inuddlo being Senator Conkling's opposition to Judge Bobertson as Collector of tho New York custom house. If thu judge's nomination is withdrawn, tho deadlock will be broken. This statement of course, renders it impossible for tho President to withdraw tho nomination, as such an act would be a virtual confes sion of Conkling's superioiity. The haughty Senator from New York is evi dently laboring under the idea that lit is Chief Magistrate of the nation, and the adoption of this view by Mr. (Jar lield will render his administralion the most contemptible tho country has ever had. Mr. Conkliug must be coulident indeed, or reckless to a degree, when ho forces thu President into such a corner, Mr. Garfield now has thu facts in tho case what will he do with them'? There is, it seems, a corner in quinco seeds. It will strike tho uninformed pub lic as a little curious.but tho girls buy up all the quinco seeds to mako curls of, Tliero is nothing in tlio world to com part) ivith tho gluo obtained from quince seed lo make those awfully lovely cm Is, of all shapes and sizes, which lio upon tho marble brow of tho girl of tho period like a mashed angleworm upon a Phila delphia frontstep. Why any gills should want that sort of thing zig-zagging down to tho edge of her eyes and rolling back around her ears, held together by an invisible net which everybody can see, is quite beyond ordinary compiehcnsiou, but nobody over expects a girl to givo a reason for any eccentricity of personal decoration. But whilo tho crushed i.i. gleworiu ornamentation of tho feminine forehead is persisted in, the demand for quince seeds will continue. These seeds aro mostly imported from Uussin, and tho trade lias grown fioiu live hundred pounds a year to ten thousand pounds, and the demand is nolsatislied with that. Theyinre bundled by the diuggists, and the prices havo gouo up so that a great many girls can't afford quince seed cutis, lint fall back on gum trngacanth anil soap, either of which will serve tho pur pose very well and create an appropriate degree of ugliness around tho prettiest face.

As the cap ital of tho company is very large, theso taxi s amount to an immense sum, but just how much has never been known, ns tho State authoiities were denied access to tho books. Auditor General Schell made such investigations regarding the busi ness of tlio company as were possible, and from these made up nn account which is believed to bo nt least approxi mately correct. Tho amount duo the Stnto is y;l,l'Io,)U,CI figures so enor mous as to stagger belief. It now re mains to be seen whether this money will be collected, and tho people will watch with intense interest the action taken by tho State oflicials. If this pow erful monopoly is allowed to evade tho pa incut there will, vciy likely, bo such a burst of popular indignation as will as tonish thu authorities. If the company disputes tlio correctness of thu ligures, the books must bo produced for exami nation and will undoubtedly show some very interesting statistics. Auditor Gen eral Schell has left a rich legacy to his successor,Col. Lemon, and there will bo no lack of interest manifested as to his man agement of it. If the debt is iustly due, it should be promptly collected, tor the people are in no humor to brook iurther delay. )K KS. Perhaps tho venerable Commonwealth ot ..Massachusetts ts proud ot benator Dawes as her representative, but his re cent public performance! must have shaken that leelmg somewhat. Dawes not long ago told a harrowing talc ot the burning of "factories" and the "mur tier of employees," in Louisiana or .Mis sissippi he really did not seem to know just where and the flight of the gray haired and discouraged owner id the propci ty to a place ol satetv in ..New hngluud. Tiiis was sulliciently agoni zing to satisfy thu moiliid taste ot the most exacting radical. Senator .lonas of Louisiana, promptly asceitained the facts in the case and made them public, to thu great detriment ot Dawes. The planta tion and factories turn out to be a farm of 2.)0 acres with ordinary buildings upon it, the whole property being insured for .'j-.'.'iUO, and mortgaged to "the extent of bl 1,01)1). iNoliody was murdered but a null was set on lire and it is highly prob able that the owner was the incendiary. It is expected that he will be indicted by the Grand Jury at their next meeting. vvneiner uawes is a Knave or a loot is an open question, rnmindfiil of tho col lapse of Dawes' story a Bepublican Kdi tor in Connecticut publishes an account of a frightful crime committed in 180J 21 yeais ago by "the Democrat who "claims to have been elected to Congress "last fall from the Eighth District of "South Carolina." As there are only live districts in South Carolina, it looks a little as if the editor had been interviewing Dawes and gathering information from him. Time was when .Massachusetts sent statesmen to the Senate now she sends Boar and Dawes. WASHINGTON LETTEIt. W.vshixiitox, May .'3rd, 1881. Shrewd people argue, from tlio present troubles among liepublican leaders, per manent divisions ot tho party. Thio is much plausibility in this. Mr. Blaine has unquestionably very full control of tlio administration. 1 his is something he never had before. Mr. Conkliug, though the chairman of unimportant committees, has equally absolute control of thu Senate. Look tlnough all the significant com mittees,and only the friends of Conkliug appear at tneir ncaus. wiien tlio Senate met on March 1th, this great New York Senutor,seoing Blaine at the head of the administration, saw also, that in order to take caie ot himself, he must control the Senate. This he did through the trade with Mahouo, which gave the Iiepubli tans really to Conkliug control of the committees. President Gaiheld is really an unimportant factor in tlio Bepublican fight of the next four years. Iiepubli. cans gencially will look to l'laiuuon one side and Conkliug on thu other, and the contest is to the death. The saddest tiling in all our late poli tics is the charge made that tien. Uar lield wrote a letter whilu lio was Presi dential candidate, Miggcstiug that tho "Star" route eontrat.tois be requested to coiiuihiilc to the lkcpublican campaign fund, lie had lately, us a Hepiesenta- tivo in Congress, voted virtual approval of the "extended" contracts, and to al low the Postmaster General half a mil lion dollaiH more for thu same purpose. If he thought the.-e men overpaid, he should not havo voted as he did. If they were not overpaid, why should they be called upon specially to contribute? Why in any event should' a Presidential can didate take part in tho dirty process, by which thu 1 !c publican puitv raises its campaign mono? No one would think ot Gen. Hancock in such a connection. Ono of the subjects which has its hoadquaitcrs here, but which has local habitations in almost every State, is the fish culture, under government auspices. It grow up as suddenly as tho National debt. It has cheapened food instead of making it dearer, as the debt has done, however. Prof, liaird, tho very compe tent gentleman at thu head of this benef icent institution, says that in ten years tho average taxpayer will receive more money in tlio leduced cost of his food, because of tlio artilicial propagation of fish, than ho pays, bto.iuse of inteiest on government bonds. The cost to tho United States is very slight, and in creased knowledge of methods makes it less every year in proportion to thu amount of benelits conferred. Tliero is no more admirably managed branch of the government than this. Hll.TO.V. Disgraceful Senate Candidate's. Tho nomination of Gorhain and Hid- dtenerger especially tioriiam was a gross scandal. Wo" say especially Gor hain, becuuso whilo liiddleberger is ob jectionable on account of his alleged po litical principles and his notions concern ing thu duty of paying publiu debts, the other man has no'better principles, and ho is so unpleasantly and personally no lo! ions that the possession of the most admirable collection of first-class opinions would not excuse his nomination for any ollico whatever. The facts about theso men havo not come to light recently, They aro not in the nature of a surprise. Thu Huuiiblicau Senators madu up their ticket for oflicers with their eyes open.
