The New York II orhl intimates that
Borne ugly developments are forthcom

ting up charges against Sjeaker Kerr.
Very tew people honestly believe oth
erwise than that they were concocted
to serve some other end tLan those of
justice, and a confirmation of it is
Lardly needed except to fix the odium
of the conspiracy where it properly
belongs.
In the two months immediately pre
ceding the Presidential election, which
the Pittsburgh Commercial assures us
with a great deal of gravity w ill take
pIae-3 on the same day, November 7th,
in all the different States of the L nion,
as if it had ever been otherwise, State
otlicers will be elected in Arkansas,

States named w ill hold their elections
in September, and the last three in
October.
The Congressional committee w hose
duty it was to investigate and pass
upon the t barges preferred against
Speaker Kerr by the w itness Harney,
have presented an unanimous report,
signed by the Republican as well as
the Democratic menders of said com
mittee, in which Mr. Kerr is fully ex
onoruted from all taint or suspicion of
corruption in the matter charged, and
Lis vile accuser to all intents and pur
pose convicted of the heinous crime
of perjury.
IhlESlftKNT (J RANT, who it will be
remembered struck the keynote of the
present anti-Catholic agitation in his
celebrated Des Moines speech, came
down from his high horse suflieiently
on Tuesday last to visit, in accordance
wi'Ai an invitation extended, the Acad
emy of Notre Dame, in Baltimore, on
which occasion he dined with Arch
bishop IJailey and many other dis
tinguished clergymen and citizens of
ther Catholic laith. How true it is that
the world moves.

Ex-Speakrr Ulaine was taken
suddenly ill in Washington city on
Sunday morning last, just as he and
bis wife had entered the vestibule of the
Congregational church, and had to 1
removed to his home, where he lay for
several hours in an unconscious con
dition, but lias since fully recovered
bis senses and is now rapidly con
valescing. Sun stroke, RUterinduced
by overwork, excitement, and loss of
bleep, is said by Ins physicians to have
been the cause of his illness.
The Republican national convention
now iu session at Cincinnati consists
of two delegates from each Congres
sional district, in the United Stales,
and four delegates at large from each
State, the latter representating double
the number of Senators each State has
in Congress. The Democratic national
convention, which meets at St. Louis
on the 27th of the present month, will
Ik; made up of delegates selected on
the same principle, but in the latter
body each delegate will lie entitled to
only one-half a vote, and if the rule
which has been . recognized in Demo
cratic national conventions for the last
forty years holds good, two-thirds of
the votes cast will 1m; necessary to a
choice, while in the former each dele
gate is entitled to a full vote and a
majority of the ballots cast will be
Fiiflicient to nominate. Each conven
tion makes its own rules.
Av organization styling itself the
National Executive Committee of the
American Alliance lias just issued an
address to the voters of the United
States, in which :t urges the immediate
formation of a new Know Nothing
party, the leading features cf which
shall 1 undying hostility to the
Catholic Church and the exclusion of
all foreigners, and especially Catholic
f irrigners, from the right of suffrage
tjntiM.hey have boon twenty -one yea.-s
in the country. The wiseacres who
arc at the head of this prescriptive
movement 1 nt- fr t',c present ad
vise the nomination of candidates ex
clusively on the platform enunciated,
but
ounsels, aye pledges, the support ;
of its adherents to any candidate for
President who will take kindly to the
principles laid down by these enlight
rned and lilieral minded gentlemen.
The day for such discreditable schemes
lias lony; gone bv, and the present
movement, like all of the same char
acter which have preceded it, will soon
.sink into well merited oblivion, if in-
.deed it should ever acquire sufficient
jwtiVht to carrv it down to the full
jejth of political dishonor.

piece t the speech of 11
a companion
on. O'eo. 1
Hoar, of Massachusetts, on the Belk
nap impeaehmciit, a portion of which
was published by us two weeks ago:
"The spirit abroad is the spirit of refor
mation. The people are determined to bring
back the letter era of the Republic in w hich,
when men consecrated themselves to Hie
public service, thev utterly alnucated all
selfish purposes; w hen public oflieers rejoct
e.l gittn at dishonoring alike to the giver and
the taker ; w hen Presidents ami great officers
of state as a rule retired to honorable pover
ty ; when Franklin with his modest income
and hi tmeoiirtly costume, even though he
had a thrifty mind, rejecting all thought of
gain while employed in the public service,
was held in more honor than tlia jnudeste -bassador
of the proudest empire; when John
(uiney Adams sold his bank shares before
he would take bis-sea in Congress, It xf his
vote ini;ht. be called in question; when
meudtera of Congress knew not the mysteries
of Credit Mobiliet ; w hen int mlrs of the
Cabinet were selected becanse fhey were
statesmen, "honest, capable, faitktttl," and
not because of their skill in handling party
politics ; when to be fntntnoned into T lie
public service- was a priceless honor and not
an opportunity for private gain ; when a
civil service system practically exisod in
the Government, because it had not yet been
formulated into the perfmirtory plat forma of
party; when a change of administration did
not inaugurate a disgraceful scramble for
place, and the fatal doctrine "to the victors
Ix-Iong Die spoils" had not yet leen invented;
wHcn the idea of a trust was the subordina
tion of the trustee and all his persona! in
terests to the rightful- claims of those for
whom he acted ; when lawyers were not
I accustomed to speculate upon the rights of
their clients, when vendors were not suflered
to profit by false representations ; when the
boner and fame of the nation were dear'and
greater than the reputation orjthe fortune, of
any citizen ; when degenerate men who were
willing to barter away the national honor in
foreign lands in exchange for private gaiun,
however great, would have been gibbeted
for the geueral execration."
Jacob Thompson, Secretary of the
Interior under Ruchanan, has been
sued for a claim aggregating one mil
lion of dollars, which amount it is al
leged was abstracted by him during bis
administration of the affairs of said
ofiico. The suit has been brought by
Hon. Zaehariah Chandler, the present
Secretary of the Interior, and is
probably intended to distract public
attention from the disclosures now
leiiig made to the great discredit of
Republican Congressmen and office
holders generally. Re that as it may,
we join with the Pittsburgh Post in
expressing the hope that the matter
will be thoroughly investigated. If
Thompson took the monoylic ought
to be compelled to refund "it, which it
is said he is abundantly able to do, and
the fact that a Republican Committee
of Congress in 1801 fully investigated
the charge and unanimously exonera
ted him from all blame, should not be
allowed to stand in the way ; for it is
possible the Republican "committee
like Republicans generally, didn't tell
the tuth about Thompson simply be
cause he was a Democrat. But aside
from that, it is high time the people
should get their own, and if Thompson
has any money which of right belongs
to the public treasury the fact that he
is not a radical thief will no doubt
hasten rather than retard the effort now
being mnde to cornel him to shell out.
Gen. Harry White, the hero of a
thousand battles w hich have never j et
been fought, and an original nr.d welL
known inflationist of the wind-ba
order, has lxen virtually renominated
ii.io wtu iinu:iuv jeiiominait
for Congress by the primary action
the Republicans of Indiana, Arr
of
Arm
strong, deiieison, Clarion and Forest
counties, and as the Democrats of the
same district have once more pitted
against hira lion. George A. Jenks,
who in 1874 beat the afoiesaid White
nearly if not quite five hundred votes,
the contest promises to be an exceed
ingly lively one. With nr, acceptable
candidate the district is good for a
Republican majority of one thousand
or thereabouts on a full partv vote,
but, as the Philadelphia Times re
marks, Jenks is one of the few new
Democratic members who have greatly
strengthened themselves by public
service, and he will make the contest
at least doubtful even in a Presidential
year, lie is stronger than his party,
while White is weaker than his party,
mainly because he is a chronic candid
date and moves in the sinuous ways of
the small politician. It will doubtless
bo one of the hotly contested districts
of the State.
The action of the House in regard
to the chaiges preferred against
Speaker Kerr by the, fugitive liar Har
ney, while it Is a well deserved vindi
cation of a pure man ar.d statesman,
will, says the Pittsburgh Post, fall
like a thunderbolt upon the miserable
wretch who made the charges and in
swearing to them forever blasted his
reputation. But what must eventually
be the feelings of the Custom House
Ringslers in New York who made a
tool of Harney ? 'I hose men are now
in Cincinnati and will to-day play a
prominent part in nominating a can
didate for the Presidencj-. Having
resorted to subornation of perjury to
destroy the good name of Mr. Kerr,
they are just the men to put forward a
corrupt jobber for President. They
w ill get thvir work in, too. They let
nothing stand U tween them and the
accomplishment of their ends. By
tiie close of the week we will see the
result of their labors.
The Republican national convention
is in session at Cincinnati as we u;o to
press Wednesday afternoon, but the
geneial presumption ist hat n ticket will
j not be made iielorei1 nday, there being
every indication at latest advices that
trouble is brewing between the friends
of the several nsnirnnts and that the
filial result will only be reached after a,
long and bitter contest. As to T. ho is
the coming man there are all kinds of
guesses, but the latest information
seems to 'piece Blaine in the lead,
with Conk i in it, Morton and Rristow
at his heels in the order in which they
are named.

XOET.E TRIBUTE TO AN HONEST MAX KiiOM A
tSAXIlims COMMITTER AM A UNANI
MOUS HOUSE -OI5AC!;FUL CONDUCT
OK REPUBLICAN MEM11ERS.
Washington, June 12. The feature in
the House to-day was the rcpoit on Mr.
Kerr's case, submitted by C hairman Cly
mer. It was the unanimous woik of the
committee, and was adopted unanimously
by the House.
The report states that, after a full inquiry
into the facts, and after a thorough exam
ination of Lawrence Harney, the only wit
ness making the charge, of Augustus P.
Greene and divers other witnesses, it ap
peared that, in 180G, while a member of
the House of Representatives of the Thirty
ninth Congress, Mr. Kerr did, in the exer
cise of his right or privilege, nominate
Greene for mi appointment in the regular
army. The committee, however, had found
no" difficulty jn reaching the conclusion that
the charge as to the payment of money to
Mr. Kerr was unqualifiedly false, and that
Mr. Keirstood fully exonerated froi.i all im
plication affecting his personal honor or of
ficial inlegrit'. The committee had found
nothing in the whole progress of the in
vestigation to impair or detract from the
well-established reputation of Mr. Kerr far
unquestioned personal integrity and un
sullied purity. Mr. Clymer remaiked that
the conclusion reached was the unanimous
judgment not only of the committee, but
of the House and the country.
Mr. Dan ford (Ohio, and a Republican
member of the committee) said that it af
forded him real pleasure to be able; to sub
scribe to the report, not because of the un
fortunate illness of Mr. Kerr, but because
it was an act of simple justice, ! that gen
tleman. He sxke of the unfortunate cir
cumstance which presented itself at the
threshold of the inquiry (as to Mr. Kerr, a
Democrat, from Indiana, giving the nomi
nation to Greene, a Republican, from New
York), and said that had it not been for
that circumstance the committee would
not have deemed it worth while to evon
enter on the investigation. He was happy
to say, however, that he had uy idea that,
so far as the corruption of Mr. Kerr was
concerned, there was a single scintilla of
truth iu Harney's testimony. It was a
falsehood taken advantage of by a had man
for the purpose of attempting to "blacken the
reputation of a good man. Applause
lie sjuike of these investigations, used by
bad men like Harney, as being the very
worst instruments that can be used in a
country like this. The testimony of Har
ney was but the natural outg rowth of these
investigations. Committees of the House
had been seen this session mousing around
and dragging the public lift and private
correspondence of citizens iuto publicity,
publishing even the bank accounts of ofli
ciiils without charges and without specifi
cations. Ho had thought at times that
there was in some quarters a gratification
when a public official could be smirched.
The testimony was clear and conclusive as
to the innocence of Mr. Kerr in the matter,
but there was another thing that weighed
on his (Dan ford's) "mind about all those
circumstances, that was the god name cf
Mr. Kerr, a nam.i that has been borne
without reproach for many sessions of the
House. The strength of the political in
stitutions of the country was in the good
and gicat men whom they had produced,
and lie should be loth to believe that any
man occupying the high position which
Mr. Kerr occupied 1 efoie the country would
be guilty of such a charge. He hoped that
the vote on the report would be a unani
mous one, without a dissent in voico or
heart, and that every gentleman on the
floor who knew tho Speaker of the IT niso,
as they all knew him and should know him,
would join in wiping out this attempted
stain on his reputation and on his character,
and that they would by their action to-day
enable Mr. Kerr to present to his country
men an evidence that his name was as
white to-day as it had been befo'e the
breat h of scandal had touched it . It was
the duty of the House to Mr. Kerr, as a
good and upright man, to adopt the report
of the conimiUeo without a dissenting
voice, so that he might bo in the future as
he had been in the past, an honor to Lis
country, a tower of strength to Lis col
leagues and a comfort and consolation to
Lis wife and children. Applause
llr. Hurlbut (Rep., 111.,) made a brief
speech in the same generous spirit, conclud
ing with the remark' that it is tho unani
mous voice of tbo jtepplo through their
representatives that the sisgis of a long and
honorable life has protected him from tho
envenomed shaft of malice, that tho cloud
is removed, and that if his sun goes down
it shall go down in full honor, and in the
esteem of all honorable men of whatever
paity. Applause on both sides of IIouso J
Mr. Garfield (Ilep., Ohio) suggested that
the vote on the report should be taken by
the members rising. Tho suggestion was
adopted, all the members, 210 in number,
rising? iu the affirmative.
Mr, Garfield then asked that it be entered
on the record that the report was adopted
unanimously.
The Speaker pro. tern, directed the clerk
to let it le recorded on the record as the
unanimous vote of the Horse.
Mr. Leavenworth (Ohio) suggested as
highly proper that t he House should furnish
to Mr. Kerr, in the most formal manner, a
certified copy .f the proceedings on this
occasion, and he made a motion to that
effect. The motion w as agreed to, and tho
clerk was instructed accordingly.
A dispatch from Monticclio, N. Y.,
says : At the last term of criminal courts
in this county, George Moflalt and others
were convicted as members of a gang of
burglars and highwaymen who had opera
ted for years in the northern part of Sulli
van county, the convictions being based on
the testimony of Annie MofTatt, a daughter
of the principal of the gang. MofTatt was
-sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary.
One of the prisoners w as another daughter
of MofTatt's, Mrs. Mary Brown, whow hus
band, Mark Brown, was hanged iu this
place a year ago for the murder of a man
named Carr. Pending all those troubles
the w ife of Geoiga MofTatt died, and Annio
MofTatt Was left liearlv nlrmn i. 11
, years old. Since the trial she lias been
j living in tho town of Rockland. The oth
er day she and Jennie Hamilton, the latter
14 years of age, took a dose of blue vitriol,
I and were found almost dead ; but a timely
j antidote was administered. The Moffat t
giil said she wished to meet her mother in
j heaven; Jennie Hamilton desired to kill
i.erse:i oecanse sue and Annie were very
clear friends, and she desired to see her
dead sister.

1 ot it v. it m rl' s PrcTi'RR. The Philadel
phia Ixquirtr, a Republican journal, says
that "the newspapers of the count ry those
of the Noilb, East and West, as well as
those of the Smith very generally and
very properly denounce the majority of
the art committee for pcimitting Mr.
Rothcrmers picture of the battle of Gettys
burg to occupy a place iu tho American
department." The Inquirer gives two
reasons why it should not be there one,
its want of merit as a woik of art. and the
other, its odensiveness to thousands of
guests who have leen invited to visit the
exposition. Mr. Rothermel was commis
sioned by a committee of the Pennsylvania
Legislature to paint, a commemorative
picture of the battle of Gettysburg, paying
him a price far beyond any that he ever
before or since received for his work, or
that his work, iu t his instance, was worth.
Indeed, the Inquirer states, afrer it was
painted and paid for, the Legislature par
tially declined to receive it, and it never
has had place allotted to it by the Com
monwealth. The ei-tist seems to have
thought that he could best accomplish his
mission by making his picture express
nothing but sheer brute force, and by rep
resenting those who fought on tho losing
side as men of the most brutal and ruffianly
type, and all those. of the winning side as
of the noblest and must Leroic type. The
Inquirer considers its presence in the art
gallery as "an insult to all our Southern
guests," and that, in addition to its glaring
and monstrous delects as a work of art,
"the art committee publicly declared that,
no picture illustrative of scenes in the re
bellion would be accepted for exhibition."

Anot her decision has just been rendered in
rcjjaid to what in contemplation of law is
a new8aer and as to the legal publication
of legal advert iKenients.Tho case was
before the Burlington county, (X.J.) court.
A legal advertisement was published in a
paper in that County,. with a patent out
side punted elsewhere, tinder w hich certain
property was sold ; and the question arose
whether, 1st, the publication Lad been
legally made, and 2nd, whether tho title
vested in tho purchaser. The defendant
lo the suit, who bad been divested of the
property by the sale, put the plea that the
sale of the property advertised was not ac
cording to the mode provided by the stat
ute, which declares in Now Jersey (and in
Pennsylvania also) that all adyei tisenients
must le published in a pajer j riTiied in the
county and of general circulation in the
count) his counse l maintaining this Lad
not been done, find hence the proceedings
in the case were void and the title did not
pass.
It being proven that llic paper in which
the advei liscment was published was partly
printed outside of the county, and had but
little circulation in it, was not therefore a
paper of geneial circulation, the exemption
of defendant's counsel was sustained by Jho
court, and costs, amounting to .:52..V1, weie
charged to plaiutill in the axbCL'scuinj-e.

PlSCOVKItY OF A VAI.rAIlI.E pATNTIXO.
Ii.c: edible as it may appear, there has
been discovered heroin our ' city of New
Orleans "Tho Last Supper." La Piece des
I'ieds, a picture painted by Raphael short
ly befoio his death, which occurred in the
year 'Z0. Seven years subsequent to this
date the city of Rome was sacked by tho
Spaniards and simultaneously with the
sacking the painting disappeared. It was
lelieved the picture Lad been carried into
Spain and that I ho captors bad no knowl
edge of its authorship. Later on tho woi k
found its way hither, when Louisiana was
a possession of tho Spanish crown. It has
perhaps lain here until tho late discovery
by the fortunate owner, Mr. U. J. O'Hara,
No. lit) C'aroudclet stieet.
The Count de Tot enno, who was here a
few weeks ago, saw the picture and pro
nounced it genuine. Ho is raid to bo in
treaty for its purchase by the French gov
ernment. Tho painting had been rudely
cut from its original frame and adjusted to
ondof smaller capacity. A fold in this way
was made to extend itself all around tho
margin. Under this was found Raphael's
own monogram. This and other proofs of
antiquity and genuineness, as well as the
work itnelf, may bo seen by the curious at
Mr. O'llara's office AT. O. Picayune.
A IIeauti.ess Ar-T.Tho Philipsbnrg,

cabin belonging' to Andrew Felian, a
Frenchman residing about two and a half
miles from this pkice near Wise fc Bender's
flaw mill, was burned to the ground. Mr.
Felian heard tho dogs making a terrible
noise, and getting up to see the cause, dis
covered the fire. Taking a bucket of wa
tor standing near, ho dashed it on the fire
and the flames flew up in his face and al
most choked him. He found that coal oil
bad been used, and water only made it
worse, lie raised the alarm and then
tried to get up stairs to waken the hired
girl and some boarders, but found Le could
not on account or the flames, and then
helpnd his wiTo aud child out of the burn
ing building. Tho hired girl wakened in
the meantime, and barely escaped with Lor
life. Sho was considerably scorched, hav
ing passed through tho door which was Rn
ablaze. Many barely 'escaped with just
their night-clothes on, while others were
more lucky. Everything in the house was
destroyed. The oil was strewed all around
the door of the cabin, and was the work
of some evil-hearted iiiceadiary. LoSS

A Gh'l was found dead, hanging to a
