bring about an understanding between

As was to bo expected tlio practice
of boycotting is being resorted to for
tho most absurd causes. A cijso of the
kind has occured up in Lycoming
County where a coolness has Bprung
up on tho part ot the hardy lumber
men of Moreland township toward tho
people of Iliighi'svillo because the lat
ter have prevented tho granting of
licenso to sell liquor in their village.
Such a tempcranco movement is re
garded by the Morclanders as a kind
of fanaticism that deserves their rep
robation, and they have accordingly
determined to boycott the town by
dealing somcwhero else where tho sur
roundings aro not quito so droughty.
Governor Pattison is still pushing
his investigation of the Soldiers' Or

complaining of tlio expense to which
ho is putting tho state. Thus far the
cxpeases have been about SI 50. Thu
investigation is going on iu a careful
and thorough manner, and tho Gover
nor is doing nothing moro than his
duty. Pennsylvania cannot permit a
lot of heartless speculators to starve
the children in their schools on tho
ground that it is too expensive to in
vestigate tho ca'p. Let the good woik
go on, and when tho blame is placid
where it belongs, cither let tho children
Le placed where they will not be the
victims of a money-making syndicate,
or else abolish tho schools altogether.
As conducted at present, they aro with
few exceptions, a disgraco to tho state.

Bishop Tuttle, of tho Protestant
Episcopal Church in Utah, has undo
a very thorough study of the Mormons
ana tnetr doctrines, ecclesiastical ami
political. He declares his belief that
the Mormon is excessively anti-Ameri
can and can never bo a decent Ameri
can citizen. It is not merely in the
matter of polygamy, for that may bo
dono away with by tho command of
the leaders of Mormouism. Hut it is
chiefly in their exclusive sacerdotalism,
which recognizes their priesthood as
superior to all other authority. The
liishop says ho had hoped tho young
men among tho Mormons would grow
up with different ideas on these sub
jects from thoio which their fathers
held. Hut they aro thorough Mormons
ana there is small probability of their
leaving tlio iaitli ol their lathers, lii.s-
hop Tuttlo thinks that tho question of
wnai to do with tiu .Mormons is ouo
of the most ilillitiiilt to solve. They
havo a right to the exercise of their
religious faith and practice so far
these aro really religious, but they
are so shrmvd as to claim that many
things aro religion which are nothing
but, political and worldly habit and
practice.

THE COLUMBIAN AND
WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our ltcgular Correspondent,)
Washington. D. 0., March 22, 1880.
With tho Senate's investigation of
tho Administration, tho House Com
mittee's investigation of Pan-Kit ctliu
stock, and another investigation of tho
Commissioner of Pensions in regard to
the chnrges ho brought against his
predecessor, Dudley, it would seem
that the spirit of inquiry wcro raging
hero now.
On the contrary, nil of these alTaiiH
nro dismal farces. No sensations havo
been evolved from tho Tolenhono busi
ness, and publiu interest in it is rapidly
subsiding. Hon. Casey Young has
contradicted tho imputations against
thu Attorney-General, and in seeking
letters for publication as testimony, out
of i!12, live were from Mr. Garland,
none of which bear on tho subicct tin
ier investigation.
(Jen. Uliick is well fortilied with
proof of his allegations ngainst Kx-
Commissioner Dudley's Republican
Pension Machine. lie. has submitted
cases ot gross irregularity, showing
that claims wcro advanced and allowed
as partisan rewards, and ho has hun
dreds of allidavits in riserve.
As to tho Senate's fright for paper,
nono but thu blindest partisans can see
any other outcome of the Republican
situation than a surrender. There is n
desiro on tho part of mnst of tho Sen
ators who havo followed .Mr. hdmunds'
lead to drop the contest as soon as pos-
iblo and to say as little as possible
about it. Tho debato has involved so
ninny Senators in contradictions and
inconsistencies that it has clearly
trengthenod tho President in his posi
tion. It has also served to direct at
tention to tho'ovils of secret sessions so
intently that their very existence, is
strongly threatened.
The weakest point ot the Kepubli-
can position is that they have called
for this information to bo used in &tar
Chamber sessions. If the Senate, coll
ide red tho President's appointments
n open session, there would bo much
more excuso for theso attacks upon him
tor his secresy.
Benator Jidmunds is sorely cut by
the revolt of the Finance Committee.
Its rcsolvo to report the nominations of
mcrnal Kevcnuo Uol lectors referred
to it in spite of the caucus, was n square
back down from tho Republican po
sition. And tho present week is likely
to witness similar action on the part of
the Indian Affairs Committee, and
other committees which aro weary of
the useless contest.
There was never nny gi'iiuineiiews or
cohesion in the movt nieut, and it re
quired little politio.il ki-eiineit to see
what certainly would happen. 1 he
obstruction was a political blunder, and
there was too little intirest in it that the
uhliu did not even charge its mind
with tho task of keeping up with tie
debate. Tho indignation which wn
pumped up was false and labon d, ami
hero has been no time when the lie
niblican Senators iu a bodv have not
regretted the course into which they
were dragooned by tho rasping selfish
ness from Vermont. As an expen
mental issue It has been a dismal fail
ure, and it is only astonishing that the
preteno was kept up as I mg as it was.
Much was expected by the minority
Senators from their colleague, Mi.
Spooner, the new Senator Irom Wis
consin. He occupied the floor part ol
two days, but failed utterly to cover
himself with glory, lie staited out
quite bravely, but in winding up ho got
lost, groped around lor about an hour
pointlcssly in search of a suitable hhalc,
repeated himself half a dozen times,
aud closed quite tamely.
Senator Uolquttt, ot Ueorcia, will
bo heard iu a long speech to day or
the Democratic side, and Senator Iu
galls, of Kansas, will follow next iu
behalf of the Republicans. lie is one
of their ablest men, and has a carefully
prepared speech.
Tho bill to pension tho widow of
General Hancock has been before the
House, and was eloquently suuniiorled
by Representative liinuham, of Penn
sylvania. Representative Price, ol
Wisconsin, opposed it. Ho said the
country had paid General Hancock
brilliant, brave, generous m all his
iroportions, tho sum of 8152,000 dur
ing the last twenty years "Ho help
ed to save your country'' suggested
Mr. Ringliam. "Aud there are hun
dreds of thousands as good as ho was
who helped to save the country who
are starving," replied Mr. Price. The
pension will be $2,000 a year. There
aro many members who would be glad
to make it S5.U00, but tho widows ot
Gen. Thomas and Admiral Farragnt
rcceivo 2,000, aud precedents in such
matters are ditneult to overcome.

John Winthrop.
At Groton, Suffolk county, England,
once lived a family that finally be
came of much repute In this country.
Adam Winthrop Sen., tho grandfather
of tho much reputed Now England
governor, came in possession of a
manor at tho above named place in
the time of Henry VIII. This remain
ed in possession of the family until
after the removol of John Winthrop
to Massachusetts. Finally it was
sold.
The early history of the family is
not very v?ell authenticated. Ilia we
are led to suppose, that tho grandfather
belonged to neither the lower class
nor thu nobility ; but to nn intermed
iate class for it was some timo before
he wrote "Equiro" after his name.
That he must have been a man of
some business habits is shown by his
connection with tho cloth-woiker's
company of Loudon. This business
he continued to follow tho rest ol his
life. ISul his sou, Adam Winthrop
Jr., thu father of John Winthrop the
Gov., soon abandoned the biisitie,nntl
retir.d to his ciumtry farm wheie he
lived the life of a retired country
L-entleniau. The overstoing of his
manor was not enough to keep him
occupied, so he studied law moro as a
pastime than for any definite results.
John Winthrop was born January
12. loS8. Ho studied at Trinity Col
lege, Cambiidge, but it appears that
lie did not graduate. This may have
been on account of his early mariiage;
lor he was three times married, First,
(when he was but seventeen yeais old)
to a country lady ; secondly to a lady
of English nubility ; and" lastly, to
Sir. John T mini's daughter with
hom he passed many happy years.
He early embraced thu Puiitan be
lief and followed it strictly during the
rest of his life. Still, ho was not out
spoken, as were some, but was much
noted for his moral and pious life,
t iis being the reason for his being
, lected Justice of tlio Peace when but
eighteen years of age. Neither did
he allow himself to engage in the po
litical strifu that was disturbing En
gland at that time. But by eloso ob
servation and much fore-thought ho
came to the conclusion that there
would soon bo trouble among the re-
igious beliefs. This ho wished to
shun. Thus when he was preparing
to escape to the New World he was
chosen governor of Massachusetts
Bay Colony. Being elected, and while
attending to various things from his
family he was compelled to go with
tho company con-nsting of 900 persons
tn their iiew homes, lie was not al
lowed time to bid farewell to his ife
and children. But this good man did
ol forget the loved ones he was leav
ing behind .is you may find by read
ing this copy ot n pait of ins farewell
letter to his wife : "And now, my
sweet soul, I must again take my fare
well of thee in Old l,uglaud. It goeih
very near to my heart to leavo thee ;
but 1 know to whom I have commit
ted thee, even to Him who loveJli thee
much better than thy husband can,
who hath taken account of thu hairs
on thy head, and who put all thy tears

uanu, nor enemies destroy, nor any
adversity deprive thee of thy husband
or children. Therefore I will only
lake thee now and my sweet children

Leightcen months after his
arrival in tho New World his family
followed and were landed on tho Bos
ton shore amid tho pealing of guns and
tho welconungs of hundreds of tho
colonists.
His life hero was one of simplicity
ami honest frugality. Even at times
ho labored most earnestly with his own
hands to show that iuduslry was the
wealth and power of tho colony. At
times wandering over tho wilds, and
even hunting unattended. His house
was a large wooden building but mean

in space a great mass of matter in the
form of gas, fanned into fantastical and
ever varying shapes by every breath
of wind in thu language of Sciipture,
Without form or void and Horn
this immense cloud of gaseous sub
stance, was to be prepared.through tho
operation of God's own laws a house
for man. "In the beginning God ere-
ated j" no one can go back of that
Hebrew declaration or learn the meth
ods whereby that substance was creat-
d. or brought into cxistance ; but
from that time forward, geologists have
been able to trace the work of prcpa-
ation pretty accurately, bv means of
the rocks, clay, sapd, and gravel the
Book of Nature ottwhich the earth
is composed.
Surely nothing can be more interest
ing than to follow, in imagination,
through all the various chat.ges thai
this has undergone si'iee that faraway
'beginning, before it became the beau
tiful, sWiling, green landscape as we
see it.
As time rolled on, century nftercen-
uiy, this gradually cooled trom a
gasi ous to a liquid stale, and iu obedi-
rice to the same law that to-day rounds
the raindrop as it falls from the cloud',
t assumed a spherical form, and, as it
was whiiled rapidly through spare, it
became llalteued at the poles fiom the
effect of the ctntiifugal foice that it
attained.
The atmosphero contained all tie-
oxygen and carbon now locked in the
coal masses of the earth, vat quanti
ties of mineral matter vaporized by the
great heat, and all the water that now
fills tho ocean in the form of superheat
ed steam. Ages pass, and tho earth,
cooling through Iho action of tho at
mosphere, begins to show on Us sur
face floating patches ol solid substance
like tho films that first appear qn the
surface of water when it begins to
frerze. This finally covers the entire
exterior but is constantly rent asunder
by eruptions from within, opening huge
crevices from which poured forth tor
rents of molten lava upon the newly
formed crust, whioh now bristled with
ragged eminences.
As the globe cooled more and more,
the heat beiame insufficient to support
the water in the form of vapor a d it
was precipitated boiling lint upon the
fiery earth below. Revaponsed, it as
eended only to bo returned again as
nin ; this helped to cool tho earth still
more tapidiv mo orusi, snnnKing
and cracking ns it hardened, became
still more uneven with wrinkles and
folds, yawning gulfs and fissures.
Thus a fierce conflict was raging be
tween fire and water.
it last the water triumphed and be
came universal. A hot, muddy, shal
low sea surged round the earth from
pole to pole, and over all, an atmos
phero of vapor entirely impervions to
Age follows age and the cooling
process goes steadily on.
The vapor gradually clears away and
the light of tho sun shines though,

comes less dense.
In tha language of Moses, "God
said let there be light.''
Thus ended tho work of the first day,
which we havo abundant icason to re
gard not as a literal day of twenty-
four hours, but as symbolical of a long
period of timo ages through which
lire, air, and water were working as
the instruments in God's hands to pro-
pare a temporary homo for mankind.
Tho idea of exact days of twenty-four
