The Columbian. mass? I -JT1 - J. K.BlttsnbraJor., KdIlors BLOOMSBUKQ, PA. "vIuday, DKCEMMilt 10, im. WU' '"' """ ' - During tho past week Mr. Vnntler liilt has hml a judgment entered up agnlnst Qcncrnl Grant fof something tnoro thnn nno hundred and fifty-five thousand dollars. It is said tlmt this wns dono moroly to preserve tho evi dence of debt nnd tlmt ttio old General will not bo pushed with an execution. Thoro is a dugreo of undnops in the fitmtiuml ntllietions of this old warrior. Tho hundred and fifty thousnnd dol lars the General borrowed of Vnnder hilt tho day before tho failure of Grant & Ward is the basis of this claim ; the livo thousand is for interest. To meet this obligation tho hero of Appomat tox transferred to Mr. Vnnderbilt Im mediately after tho failure- all his real cstato in Philadelphia, Washington and St. Louis. All tho yAnsn of prop erty bo turned wero gifts from frimids, but it was all swept awav in the finan cial whirlpool which Ward and Fisk created. General Grant by this act gavo up all real cstato ho had to keep his word to a friend and he has noth ing left except tho income from $250, 000 that is held in trust for him. This linancial crash has borno moro heavily upon him than ovcry other trial of his lifo put together and ho seems to bo ageing rapidly. Ho is now engaged in writing a review of his military campaigns, which will make two large volumes. It is expected that thoy will both be ready for publication within a year. After thoy aro finished ho will writo another book, giving his political experiences from the surrender of Ap pomattox to tho present time. Ex Senator Chaffee, who gavo this infor mation about General Grant's spirit and purposes, B.Vul that this last book will bo ono of tho most interesting books historically that has yet been given to tho country, as it will cover an insido view of Andrew Johnson's administration, of which very littlo is known. Besides this book work which General Grant has undertaken, ho is soon to writu a paper for tho Century Magazine upon "Tho Battlo of Shi loh." N. Y. Letter to 1'hila. Times. The Gripes of the "World. 1 Like tho rest of us, Mr. Gripo is pre paring for Christmas. Ho has settled all his little bills, oven paid his work men yesterday, in tho middle of the month, instead of at tho end. If he had dropped a single pleasant word about Christmas they would have thought that ho did it in order that they, too, might enjoy tho holy day with tho rest of the world. But ho counted out tho money with his usual calm, icy politeness; and they made suro as thoy went out that "old Gripo only wanted to square his accounts." He has just bought a now set of glass for his wife, and something for each of tho girls. But the things will bo sent to them direct from the shops, with no word or greeting from him, and, if thoy veuturo to thank him, ho will not glanco up from his paper as ho an swers : "I am glad you aro satisfied. I supposed you needed them." The children are in doubt whether ho really knows it is Christmas after all,andisnot simply renewing theirsupplies, as usual. John Gripe is so far a Nihilist that if ho believes or feels anything, ho says nothing. Ho was a calm baby. His mother never know whether her kisses pleased or bored him. As he grew up ho was always perfectly civil and kind to her, and for yoars after his father and brothers died gavo her a place un der his roof. Whilo she lived there (the others all being dead and gone) the yeaw stretched out long and lone ly to the old woman, and tho world yawned empty about her. Her clothes and food wero of the best, every want was supplied. But thero were days when sho would have given all that lifo had held for her for a single ten der word, for a loving touch from a child's hand. John never gave them to hor. lie did his duty, however, to her fully, until he had laid her under ground. He fulfilled his duty to wife and children in tho same way. Ho keeps his account accurately clear with his Maker, subscribes to all chirities, occu pies his pew regularly and listens at lentively to tho rector. But that good man to this day does not know whether tho seed ho sows falls upon good ground or on a rock. Should a stran ger wander up the aislo Mr. Gripo is first to courteously surrender his seat ; but, who could imagino that fine, port ly, well-dressed figure going into tho highways and byways us a nv'Msenger for his Master, and compelling tho tramps and Magdalens to oomo in ? John Gripo uover did a cruel deed or spoko an unkindly word. Yet he was never known to heartily praiso a friend, to go out of his way to set a struggling man on his feet, .or to utter a word ot encouragement to any poor devil who had sinned. Piobably ho ftels deeply. If mi, only Iih and God know it. Ho lings himself complacently, it is likely, and congratulate himself that ho is not weakly demonstrative that ho is too strong to dribble out his emotions in .vords. Mint of us do tho same when wo think wo havo hidden our genuine feeling under a well-bred reticence. Most of us aro like John Gripe, in a measuio. Wo are quite- sure that we havo a rolling Hood of religion nnd charity in our souls, but no drippings of it over fall on our fiieuds anil neighbors in cordial words or friendly acts. We mean some day to riso to tonio heroic act to show our devotion to wife and children, and to provo our philanthropy. But, meanwhilo wo are dumb. Our hearts aro all right. Wife and children aro dear to us, but wo didn't tell them so. We see how that poor clerk in tho ollico strug gles to do his work well, but wo never Hjjeak a .word of praise to him. Every day a hundred chances conurto us to inuko tho lives of others easier and more cheerful by n littlo commenda tion, or encouragement or tcudoruess, and we pass them by nnd do not give it. Some day, when a lifo near to us drops suddenly into the darkness, wo 8co how wo might havo mado it Imp pier if wo hud spoken. But then it is too late. Now that tho day is coming when all tho world holds out friendly bauds to ouch other, what shall wo dot Tho Master Himself did not compro mise His dignity by showing tho feel ings that wero in Ilim. Ho wept over Lazarus, ho praised tho heathen centu rion, ho touched tho leper, ho held tho littlo children in his arms. Shall wo bo afraid to do tho same f In our own homes, at our table, perhaps, is tho poor heathen, tho friend, tho littlo child waiting for us to help and bless, Press. The Presidential Term. In tho Democratic Sentinel ot Deo, 12th wo read these startllne nnd sig nificant words from its clippings: "Tho present seems an eminently appropri ate timo to innko some rofcrenco to tho length of term of ofilco of tho l'rcsi dent of this creat nation." Many oth ors hold to this opinion. But what nro tho tacts In tho caso 7 Our cov eminent is an experiment, nnd sooner or later will establish its ultlmato suc cess, or failure. It is destined for fu- turo crcatness-and honor nnd uncnual cd prosperity of its froo institutions nnd press liberty, or to crumble into a consolidated despotism with nil tho ul terior consequences Incident to despot lo power, nnd Btilted to the aristocracy rather than to tho people Tho Amer ican idea of government will bo carried in the one, or tho other extreme. Pa triotism always rises above party, nnd secures for us tho richest blessings, and preserves the safeguards of our liberties. Our government is yet, or should bo in its infancy. Nevertheless, it n.n mado unparalleled progress in extending its boundaries, in develop ing all its rcsouroes, mineral, agricultu ral, mercantile and marine, in estab lishing institutions of learning and of charily, in providing Industries for the laboring classes nud In manufactured products. Its rail road systems, post lines, river navigation and general traffic have no equal in any of tho na tions of tho earth. In fact all the fa cilities nnd avenues in nil tho walks and pursuits in lifo are guaranteed to, and enjoyed by tho humblost citizen as well as by tho" most exalted. It was sufficient for tho original three millions with limited "business'' and small "com binations" and for all its subsequent increase until it reaches tho enormous proportions of upward of fifty millions with unlimited "business" nnd "vast combinations,'' aud will continue to bo sufficient until it shall number oOO mil lions, with "business," wealth nnd oth er "combinations multiplied in & ten fold ratio notwithstanding. It is n perfect form of Republican govern ment, consisting of three co-equal, in dependent branches, blended into ono harmonious whole, viz: the Executive, Legislative and Judicial. Eacli with Us inferior, or subordinate brandies perfects an organism which extends to tho most rcmoto precinct, or even to tho individual citizen. It was cither miraculous or presumptions. If the former, wo shall believe that the framers of tho Constitution wero in spired, for tho "powers that be are or dained of God." If tho latter, they suited themselves to surrounding cir cumstances. In either event they dis played unexampled wisdom and states manship in framing a government suited to their wants, and to tho wants of their posterity forever. Tho present tenure of tho presidential incumbents has been wisely sufficient in all tho pnst and will bo equally so in tho fu ture. Says tho writer "uueiness inter ests which a hundred years ago wero so limited aud slight in comparison with tho vast combinations which sway tho land to day imperatively demand consideration of a change in this re spect." The ebb and flow of tho busi ness tido of tho financial current throughout all their various channels are a healthy purgative in all business circles, and attended with countless blessings, though some may be swept from tho shores of seeming security through unsubstantial financial founda tions, or iudiscreet investments, and tho whole business systems may be nf fectcd thereby for a few days, when it again starts up anew as if by magic. While it admonishes economy and prudence on tho one hand.it also invites enterprise, risk and perseverance on tho other. To admit therefore that tho exigencies of tho times absolutely demand a longer presidential term is a virtual acknowledgment that our government has attained to the full de velopment and stature of governmen tal manhood, nnd is in tho zenith of its glory, power, influence and useful ness to servo its people, and therefore ready to reclino into tho arms of mon archy by incorporating into tho body politic, and into the fundamental such initiatory and effective steps toward its final consummation. It would be Cai sar crossing the Rubicon with all its consequences, repeated. If wo have a bad executive, four years is already too long a term, and if a good ono, if need be ho can bo re-elected, yet ono term should always be sufficient. Tho writer further says, "and a wide spread feeling is rapidly gaining ground that the oxcitemcnt of a general election is something too serious in nature and consequence to be precipitated upon tho country as oiten as at present." Supposo then, tho term be lengthened to six, eight or ten years what then I Would not a longer term only seive to intensify excitement moro desperately and moro bitterly, nnd thus provo a necessity to do away with presidential elections altogether T And what it sought to euro would bo ma jo moro in tolerable to endure. Nay, verily, ex citement is good for tho people. It gives tho nation life, energy and hope. Let political storms, hurricanes, and cyclones sweep over tho country every four years, and carry away its corrup tion. And the "tree of liberty" will strike its roots deeper into freedom's soil. Our people thereby become bet ter acquainted witli our form of govern ment nnd its requirements, and will read and study moro concerning its functions and its needs during cam paign years, than all others combined, which moro than compensate for tho business depression which sometimes accompanies exciting election. Thero is, Iiowotoi, an antidote that would prevent much oxoitoment in general elections, aud that is to abolish all state elections previous to the general No vember elections. "Woodeaan spare that tree, Touch not a dingle bough ; In youth it sheltered me, And I'll protect it now." Benton. Blame's Libel Suit. T11K CASK AOAINST TIIK INDIANAPOLIS Sentinel dismisskh. James G, Blaiuo dismissed his libel suit against the Sentinel in tho United States court at Indianapolis on the 10th. His principal ground was that ho could not get justice in Indian!. It was to bo tried on tho 23d in stant. Tho following is Blaine's letter to his attorneys instructing them to dis. miss tho suit against tho Indianapolis Sentinel. Washington, Dt-o. 10, 18H4 To Messrs, Harrison, Miller and Jilam, Uounsellors-at law! Glntlkmkn; When I requested you in August last to bring suit against tho publishers of tho In dianapolis Sentinel for libel, I did so in tho belief that tho wrong dono mo by that paper, being entirely of a nor honal nnd (lomcstlu character, could ho fairly tiled without undue iutlueuco from politju.il considerations. I confess I was profoundly umaxed THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSIUTRG. COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. (o nnd tho matter at once taken ii and the libel reproduced with nil possi bio exaggeration in every domooratlo paper in Indiana. Except from thrco members ot tho dcmocrntlo party ot that state, l novcr heard that n word of dissent or disapproval was Bpoken, whilo tho great mass of the democratic speakers repeated tho libel from every stump in Indiana with vituporntlvo rancor, with gibe nnd ribald jest. It was thus made, so far as any matter of tho kind could bo made, an issue in nn exciting politico! campaign, and tho democrats ot tho state were thorougl ly poisoned in their minds in regard to tho question to tie decided nt law. Under such conditions It is simply impossible that 1 cm have n lair trial or that 1 can oxpetit any other result thnn that which uniformly nttends n political libel suit, growing out of nn exciting campaign in this country. If 1 were unfair enough to desire a jurv composed of my own partisans I could not have it. A properly constituted jury in Indiana would be composed of member ol both political parties in about equal proportions. v nun l visiicu imnaiui in iuiuiiit x was repeatedly advised that six Dem ocrats could not bo found in tho State who, in a political suit, would give n verdict against their leading party or gan. This did not necessarily convey nn imputation upon their personal in tegrity ns citizens, but simply that tho blinding of partv prejudice would ut terly prevent an impartial considera tion ot the evidence submitted. I am perfectly ablo to light tho Sentinel newspaper in nn Indiana court, but I would stand no chance whatever ngninst tliu consolidated venom of the Democratic party of tho State with those surroundings and with this pros pect. It is idlo for mo to go through tho troublo nnd annoyance of n trial. The questions propounded by tho bill of discovery havo already been substantially and fully answered by me, nnd t nin willing to leave my written statement under oath to tho judgment of tho public. I do not chooso to havo tho case indirectly con cluded by a technicality or suffered to dio in silence. I prefer to make this frank and open statement of the rea son which induced mo to beliuvo tho prosecution of tho case would bo utter ly fruitless. Yours truly, James ti. JSi.aink. Mr. Blaiuo forgets that tho attack on him was made after tho baso slan ders against Governor Cleveland wero put in circulation with his knowledge and consent. Tho course of tho Sen tincl was unjustifiable, but it was no worso than that of many Republican papers that grossly libelled the Demo cratic candidate. Turning the Oorner. Confidence among capitalists nnd business men lias increased steadily since the election of Gov. Cleveland lo the Presidency, and there is at tho pre sent timo a very general feeling that wo aro about turning tho corner in tho mercantile and industrial affairs of tho country. This may bo accounted for in great part by tho beliet that the Democratic party will bend its energies in tho direction of securing relief to trade and commerce from such restric tions and burdens as havo borne heav ily upon them for a long time past. It is this belief which lias induced some manufacturers to res timo operations and which is causing a more liberal in vestment of capital. The banks aro overburdened with money but ihore is good ground for tho belief that this die capital will soon nnd prohtablo em ployment. All sorts of commodities have gravitated towards hard pan and already a tendency to improvement is discernible in several directions. The disposition now is to buy on reactions, whereas Jormorlv every rally was tol- lowed by a pressure to sell. This is as true of the metals, dry goods and other trades as it is of tho markets for cereals and stocks and bonds. Iron nnd steel, while they show no marked recovery, havo of lato certainly been steadier than during tho early part of the year ; cot ton, corn and wheat rctuse to respond as readily to tho manipulations of bear operators and securities keep up tairly well despite railroad wars and tho like. Tho country is adding to its solid wealth by largo exports of its varied products and by its moderato consump tion of foreign goods. The result of this has already been witnessed iu an influx of tho precious metals from Eu ropo of sufficient magnitude to comprl the Bank of England directors to adopt measures to prevent its continuance. World. Arrested for Murder. AKTUIt SEVEN YEARS THE OAI.LENDEU UTSTKRY. On Wednesday of last week, says tho Wilkes-Barro Jlecord, William Judson Garrison, 27 years of ago, a well known character in Luzemo county, was taken to Wilkesbarro and lodged in jail on suspicion of being ono of tho murderers of Philip Callen der, who was assassinated on a lonely mountain road near llunlock s Creek nearly seven years ago. Garrrieon lias of lato been employed as a teamster for Theodore Renshaw of Plymouth, but was arrested by Constablo Bean on the strength of certain evidence which has not yet come to light. Ho had recent ly been discharged from tho State Hos pital for tho insane, in which ho was placed a year or so ago, tho tieatment having brought about what was con sidered a cure of IiIh mental disorder. It is not unlikely that thero is a recur rence of tho malady and that ho has been making insane remarks which have been interpreted as pointing to him as tho murderer. This seeems moro thnn likely, as there never was anything about him which stamped him as n murderer. Garrison is the individual who croa- ted such a sensation a littlo over n vear ago, by becoming a raving maniac im mediately after his marriage, and being published all over the country as one of tho most remarkable cases on record, On the 4th of September, 1883 lie wos married to a most respectable young woman of Ilnntsville, Justice Ander son tying tho nuptial knot. Tho fol lowing Is taken from tho Jlecord of Sept. 7, 1883 : Whilo tho 'Squire wa busily engaged filling up a blank mar riage certificate witli the names of the supposed happy pair, u scene was en acted that does not often occur on tin did occasions. Tho newly made hus band commenced In an incoherent manner about- being inspired uf God to do wonderful things, nud what ho could do by Divino help promised from on high, aud in order to provo that ho was no idle boaster, ho commenced a violent onslaught upon such articles of fumituro as happened to bo in the room. After demolishing almost oy. erythlng breakable within his reach he rushed out of tho house, stripped off tho greater part of his clothing and rushed down toward tho brulgo that spans tho outlet, where ho wiu caught by n fisherman. After being secured ho l;ecamo moro calm, nnd promised that if they would tnko him to his father-in law's house he would willingly ncconipnny his cap tors. Ho wns accordingly tnken to Mr. Bognrt's, where he spent the night quietly nnd appropriately with the family, hi-' previous frenzy hav ing temporarily subsided. Early in tho morning nrrangemenls wero renew ed for bringing him to Wllkes-Barre, in pnrsuaiioo of a commitment made out by Justice Anderson tho evening before', when he immediately relapsed into his former condition of violence. ami vigorously resisted any effort to force him from the house. Ho win Anally overpowcied by three or four persons who happened to bo within caning distance, wun securely Pound him with cords, nnd tied him up in a blanket, after stripping nearly all tho clothing from his body in their effort to secure him, in which condition they Iclivercd him over to tho prison war den for safo keeping. The young man has novcr before been known to exhib it nny pronounced symptoms of insan ity, though his family is not free from tho taint, his mothor having been of unsound mind. Ho is about twenty five years of ago and has lattoily homo n fnir record, though ho was once sent to tho Eastern Penitentiary from Wy oming county under a conviction for aroeny. A representative was shown to the 'crazy cell" in which tho new groom wns confined. Ho wns in a state of nudity, and in front of his cell door lay llio remains of wlnt had been a straw bed. The tick was torn into shreds, and tho straw lay scattered on tho stono floor. There wns nothing in tho cell by wny of furniture. Tho pris oner was clapping his hands excitedly, and continually crying "I'm Lord ot Lords, nnd King of Kings. I'm iu the gall of bitterness aud the bond of in jqtiity.'' He then seized hold of the iron door saying that ho was a second Sampson, endeavored to wrench jt from ts fastening", at the same time pour ing fortli n torrent of blasphemy inter spersed with occasional scripturo quo tations. While in his cell ho managed to seizo an attendant by tho hnir, nor would ho let go till his hands were pounded with the keys until they bled. At tho sight of tho sanguinary" drops he cried out, "Behold tho Lamb of God which taketh away tho sins of tho world I" Ho has persistently refus ed food since his arrival at the conntv prison, and when his meals wero brought to him he spitefully threw the food at tho door keeper through tho opening in tho door. Philip Callcnder was a prominent resident of Ross township, who had a store at Mndisonviln a few miles from nunloek's Creek. On tho lGth of Jan nary, 1878, ho was in Plymouth attend- ng a law suit before a insticc. Tho case was decided in bis favor and ac companied by his son ho started for homo in his conveyance taking tho old Union road. About dark when they had reached a point half a mile from Hunlock's Creek, two shots wero fired from behind them, ono striking Mr. Callcnder in tho head and killing him instantly, tho other passing through his son's hat. Tho latter sav two men disappear in the thicket. Mr. Callcnder was a prominent citizen in tho community where he lived, and was not known to havo an enemy. Tho tragedy caused great excitement and tho perpetrators would have been promptly lynched had they not suc ceeded in making good their escape. Soon nfter tho murder two men, one ot whom wns Thomas Uonyard, were arrested and placed on trial for the crime. The evidence against them was insufficient and they wero acquit ted. What "Bob" Ingersoll Thinks. TUICN1N0 TIIU RUl'UIlUCANS OUT WILT, NOT SEND THE WORLD TO WRECK. Col. Robert G. Ingeisoll, who is on a leoturiiiK tour, said in his recent inter view regarding what might be expect ed ot Cleveland s Administration : "The Democrats are as anxious for good times as the Republicans. The) want good money. Responsibility makes them conservative. Thoy havo success in 1888 in view. That will make thorn prudent, and thero is no doubt Cleveland will do his level best to make his Administration a good one, and the probability is ho will succeed. I don't think that putting tho Republi can party out of ollico will send the world to wreck. There are as many Republicans now as before the election. Thoy will have an inlluonco that the Democratic party will bo compelled to respect. If Cloveland does well, as ho probably will do, it will show that tho country is safe in the hands of either party." As to tho effect of religious ques tions on the campaign, thu Colonel said : "The Protestants wero generally for Blaine, except tho Unitarians and Episcopalians the northern Protes tants of course. Mr. Blaine's mana gers expected holp from tho Catholio vote, but it is not to bo oxpeeted that tho Catholics would largely suppoita man who had been born a Catholio and had deserted tho Church. That meeting of tho clergy in New York did great harm. Tho people at largo have no confidence in pieaohtrs. They fear the old ecclesiastical spirit, and they want no President guided by priests or a spiiitual adviser. Tho peo le are not afraid of a preacher in tho pulpit, but when ooe gels loose they regard the situation ns uusafev" The Grangers. SIR. PIOI.LKT 1-'0R OOMMISSILNKIt OP A1 HICUI.TUHK.
