more than a hake's dozen of his dele

Tin: following statement taken from

Thk New York !!, all fund for the
relief of Ireland amounted to ?2A'.r.
79 up to las' Saturday morning. In ad
dition to this liberal contribution, it is
safe to say that nearly half a million ot
dollars, collected in this countiy through
other agencies, including the amount
received by Mr. Parnell, have already
been transmitted to Ireland, to relieve
her suffering people. Of this sum the
banking house of Eugene Kelly & Co.,
of New York, received and sent to its
agents in Ireland, for distribution, an
aggregate amounting on Monday last to

A r;oor deal of newspaper comment
has been indulged in during the lat ten
days regarding an alleged visit of James
P. Burr, of the Pittsbu-g V-r. to Mr.
Tiidcn, and what Mr. B. said after he
left New York about Mr. Tilden's can
didacy at Cincinnati. Mr. Barr in his
paper of Monday last arrested the further
progress of this story, which was assum
ing very large dimensions, by announc
ing that he has not been in New York
during the present y-ar of grace, and
that he has not he'ui any correspondence
whatever with Mr. Tilden. After this
emphatic denial by Mr. Barr. one inay

This speech of Mr. Bayard, the great .
purpose of which is indicated by the
question he asked, '-My country, what
can I do to restore your peace and hap
piness ?" is now being used by his ene
mies as an argument against his nomi
nation for the Presidency. The views

part of and opto July in that
year, when Congress declared war, were
the same as were held by the best men
of both parlies, who were anxious to
save the country from the horrors of a
civil war. Stephen A. Iouglas in a
speech In the Senate deelared his belief
that war meant a dissolution of the ;
Union, final and eternal. Gen. Scott,
Mr. Chase. Iloraee Grely, Sianton. Mr.
Tilden. Horatio Seymour, and. others of
like prominence, were all advocates of
peace as long as there was the least
hope that an amicable settlement of the
difficulty was possible. Was it a crime
in lsiil to plea I for peace ami its bless
ings, and to protest against war and
bloodshed, as long as any prospect was
held out of peace and reconciliation be
tween the sections? Demagogues may
say so. but such is not the judgment of
the country. After war was officially .
declared, Mr. Bayard was for the Union,
and his state was the first of the south
ernmost tier of the Northern States to
furnish a regiment of soldiers for the
Union army. President Iincoln in his
message to Congress in December, lSt'.l,
speaking of the attitude of the States .
north as well as f-mth of Mason and
Dixon's line, said of Delaware : ''South
f'f the line, nohlc Unit D-h'tare lei ;,'"
ri'jht from the first. As the Bayards
are said io ow.i Delaware politically,
and as Mr. Lincoln seemed to be proud
of what -'noble little Delaware"' had
done in l'il, we don't think that Thos.
F. Bayard's patriotism will suffer ma
terially from the vei-omous assaults that
are now being made upon him. The
record of no public man in this country
can tie hss successfully assailed than
that of Mr. Bavard.
I r will be remembered that the notor
. ions bribery cases growing out of the at
tempted passage of the Pittsburg riot
, losses bill at the last session of the Leg
islature were assigned for trial in the
Court of (uaiter Sessions of Dauphin
county, which met on Monday last in
Harrisburg. When the Court convened
In the afternoon and the District Attor
1 ney called the case against Charles B
1 Salter, the defendant's counsel caused
i a genuine surprise by withdrawing the
plea of "not guilty," w hicli had been eli
te red at the former sessions of the('ourti
: and entering a plea of "guilty.'' The
same plea was entered in the cases
against Win. H. Kemble, Jesse R. Craw
1 ford and William V. Rumbarger, except
that in Kemble's case his counsel want
ed to accompany the plea of guilty with
a protest substantial- affirming that
William, although he "acknowledged
thcorn." wished it distinctly under
stood that what he had done amounted
to nothing more than the customary le
gislative "log-rolling."' Judge Pearson
refused to receive the plea in that form,
1 and it was amended and put in such a
shape as to take the sting out of it.
None of the either defendants Petroff.
Long, Loiscnrhr, Smith, Shoemaker,
Chirk, and McCune--propose to plead
guilty, but intend te stand a trial ; i.nd
on Tuesday a jury was cmp .tiihelled in
the Petroff case and th examination of
the w itnesses commenced. No sentences
will be passed bv the Court, either on
the four who have put in the plea of
guilty, or upon any of the others who
may be convicted, until the whole batch
, has bee n disposed of. As regards the
; motives of the four defendants named in
pleading guilty, the theory of the prose
cution is that they did so in order to
prevent disclosures seriously comprom
ising several we li-know n persons, who
have r.ot yet Inn publicly implicated
in the scandal. We expect to be ble
to state the result iu all t lie cases in our
next issue.
Anpkf.w JIonciNs, an able and ex

on Frdiay last at Washington, in this
State, in the fifty-fifth year of his age.
At the time of his death lie was the edi
tor of the Washington Riricir a.il Ec
o.hiner, and in his younger days not on
ly founded the Hairisburg PutrbA, but
was the editor respectively of the Pitts
burg -on, the Erie Osf-i-cr and the
Wi!'iamoport 7'tn? tl all 1 emocratie
organs. He was a son of that fearless
an(i t nist,.,i Democratic leader, the late
William Hopkins, a former Canal Com

II. Hopkins, the well know n Democratic
politician of Pittsburg.

lace held Up KemS and hlS deputies to
richly-earned scorn and execration for
thtir villainous conduct at the election
in Philadephia in l7t; and the infam
ous character of a large number of these
same deputies, as well as their lawless
acts, was afterward conclusively shown
by the testimony taken before the inves
tigating committee, of which Mr. Wal
lace is the Chairman. The Democracy
of this State, at least, had a right to ex
pect that Mr. Wallace, in ti e Senate,
would lay a h?avy hand upon Kerns,
and they were fully justified iu this ex
pectation from the bold and vigorous
spoech'to which we have referred. Now
that Kerns has passed safely through
the Senate, the question to be solved is.
How was it brought about ? It is well
known that when Kerns' nomination
was made and referred to the Judiciary
Committee. Mr. Wallace had influence
enough with the committee to prevent
any action being taken on it. The plea
- i H..I f 1 1 '
is now mam nowevti. iiiai -ii Miiuaur
could not have prevented the committee ,
from acting favorably on the nomina
tion if he had made an effort in that di
rection. A man can believe as much of
this statement as he pleases, but we
don't take any stock iu it. Rumors are
thick of an understanding regarding the
case between Mr. Wallace and Don
Cameron, and that certain results mutu-
Ally satisfactory to both will hereafter
take place touching other Pennsylvania
nominations. Gen. Garland, of Arkan
sas, and Mr. Bailey, of Tennessee, were
the two Democrats of a sub-committee
of ore members of the Judiciary Com
mittee which had Kerns' nomination in
charge, and thev can tell cxactlv wheth- '
r fr U':1ll:,eo"rPoi,Psterl them to make
a favorable report on it or not. Mr. 'V
ought therefore to lose no time in get
ting Messrs. Garland and Bailev to re
lieve him. if they can, from the very un
pleasant position in which the confirm
ation of Kerns lias placed him with the
Democracy of the Union in geueral and
of his own State in particular.
The Pottsville Chronicle feels called
upon to acknowledge, as we do, the re
ceipt of two important political docu
ments. The first is entitled: "The Life
and Public Services of John Sherman."'
Being blessed w ith but a limited portion
of this world's goods, we have says the
Chronirlr, glanced over the phamphlet
in the vain hope of discovering how
John Sherman became a millionaire in
fifteen years on a salary of five thousand
dollars and all the while lived like a
prince. A biographical sketch contain
ing such information would be of some
value to mankind : but unfortunately on
that topic this little volume preserves a
painful silence. Among th distinguish
ed "public services" of Mr. Sherman
was the purchase of the electoral vote of
Louisiana for Hayes, in which he parti
cipated as one of the -'visiting states
men." Exactly how the result was
brought about would be a matter of in- :
tense public interest, but strange to say :
this biographical sketch sas nothing ;
whatever about F.lia Pinkston. Agnes I
Jeuks, :r old Madison Wells, or led- ;
headed Jim Anderson. Possibly the j
copy which has found its way to our i
sanctum is an expurgated edition, the
full text being reserved for the special
newspaper advocates ef the party of ,
great moral ideas.
The other phamphlet, is entitled a
"Biographical sketch of Gahisha A.
Grow, Speaker :7th Congress, with Ex
tracts from his Speeches and Opinions.'' '
It is a very modest little boom this,
which seems to have had its origin pp in i
Susquehanna county. It is not a Presi- '
deutial boom, so to speak, for Mr. G row's
present ambition is no higher than the
United States Senate. The cover is or
namented with a portrait of the ex
speaker, from which it is very apparent :
that the locks and beaul, once as black '.
as the raven's wing, are now grizzled
with advancing years. But a limited
portion .f the pamphlet in fact, only
one half page out of sixteen is devoted :
to Mr. Grow's public services: possibly
for the very good reason that beyond
two years in the speaker's chair his pub
lic services have never been visible to
the naked eye. It is a pleasure to learn
that he was one of the most vigorous
advocates of the war for the Union, and i
w hendrafted underthe.'irst draft prompt- '
ly furnished a substitute to fight the
battles of his country. The fact that a ;
sketch of Mr. G row's public life can be
condensed into such limited compass i
must not, however, be taken ;?s the true
measure of Ids merits, for, like all other
men of ability in the Republican 'party
of Pennsylvania, '.he has been crowded 1

Clayton, Contra Costa county, Cal., lost 1
her voice three years ago from diphthe

An attempt to rob the sub-treasury
at Philadelphia, though made nearly a
year ago, has just been divulged by the
officials, who mistakenly supposed that
silence would lead to the detection of
th- thieves. A wall more than two feet
thick was dug through, but the vault
containing S1o.Ooo.(hki in gold resisted :
the attack and the burglars secured only
a few dollars' worth of pennies. Five .
watchmen in the building declared that :
they heard nothing.

A Cairo (III.) dispatch of March 7th
savs : Two weeks ago George Kohl, a
farm hand, iu the employ of Fred.
Whitcamp. Sr., reported that Whitcamp
bad been drowned by falling into the
Mississippi river. This statement was
at first believed, but later suspicion led
to an investigation, which resulted in

that he, assisted by Whitcamp's wife,
had murdered him. The body was
found buried in the rear of a stable on
the premises. Mrs. Whitcamp was ar

' Indications ioint to trouble in the

; murder committed there in August last.
' His divorced wife. Mrs. Halte. Iter sis

; daughter of the latter, were his victims.
Their bodies were hacked to pieces with
, a hatchet, and then covered with epiick

j There is a child in Bangor, Maine,
: that has quite an eventful history, al
j though still less than five years old.
J Some two years ago while painters were
at work in the house the little one swal
j lowed some of the paint, but a physician
j was called who succeeded in remedying
j the evil. Not long after this the child
tried some laudanum which was left in
a bottle within reach and again the
physician repaired the evil. Its next
exploit was near Belfast during a visit,
l at w men time a Kernel ot corn was m
! trodnced into the nostril, and it was
necessary to ride nine miies in order to
i gel a physician to extract it.
Thp instances are rare in which a
newspaper has had one editor for fifty
vears. and that editor so constant in his
devotion to his paper as to siqiervise
each issue; yet this has occurred. The
Gerrnantown, Pa., Tdojraph last week :
observed its semi-centennial, and the :
oeeasViTi was made peculiarly interest
ing bv this statement of facts. Theedi- ,
tor. Major Philip R. Freas. now seventy- .
one, founded the pajer, and each w eek's
issue since then lias contained the pro
ducts of his pen. The Major is thor
oughly wedded to his paier, and be has
good reason to be proud of his biide.
Not even the tempting offer of public
office could entice him from the sanc
tum. He lias well shown what honors
may attach to the profession of journal
ism" if patiently and conscientiously pur
sued. There were terrific storms of wind,
rain, thunder and lightning, at various
points in the West on Thursday night
and Friday. In Toledo, Ohio, the wind
reached a velocity of seventy-two miles
per hour, and great damage was done to
property. John Hassell and M. F. .
Doyle, policemen, were killed by the
falling of a chimney, and another man
was severely injured. In Cleyeland.
buildings were unroofed and otherwise
damaged, and the wire mill of the
Cleveland rolling mill company was
wrecked. A workman named Julius
Brown was killed, and others were in
jured. In Indianapolis many houses
were unroofed, anil the Central Avenue
Methodist church was almost demolish- (
ed. Two or three persons were injured, ,
but no lives were lost. There were vio-
lent storms in Louisville, Ky.. and R- ,
Chester, N. Y., on Thursday night. In ;
Rochester a coilin factor-w as consumed
by lightning.
Sr.niOL'S OlIAItCiF. AOAINST - llAR-
lfisFtrp.ci I'll vsie iax. Dr. John Wes
ley Beohtel, who has been in the courts
twice previously on charges of criminal
malpractice, was arrested in Harrisburg
on Fr'day afternoon for causing the
death of Mrs. Alice Englt bright, re
siding in thai city with her husband.
An examination of h-r condition l.y
three physicians convinced them that
her death was rapidly approaching, and
she was apprised of her critical situation
lie-fore her death she made a stattment
in which she implicated Dr. Beehtel,
who. she states, saw her em Saturday or
Sunday last previous. The accused de
; nie.s the allegation made against him,
and says the deceased acknowledged to
him after her husband had called on
him to pay her a professional visit, that
she had tampered with herself, and that
Mr. Englebright had prepaied the h,
strument with which the opt ration was
' pel formed. This con versat ion. the Doc
tor declares, occurred in the presence of
the husband. The accused was convict
ed of a like offense abuL live years ago.
in conjunction w ith the alleged seducer
i of the young viutim. and both served
out a large portion of their terms in the
tienitent iary. Seven or eight years ago.
Dr. Beehtel was tried for causing the.
death of Lillie Mason, shf having made
an ante-mortem statement implicating
, him. He was acquitted. An examin
