(ii uitiiK W. M'Cisauy, of Iowa, who ' was one of the three Republicans on the ! Poland committee which investigated , fiat lield'stransactions with ) ikes Ames, j has been thinking over the matter since ! (iariield became a candidate for Presi- i den, and is reckless enough to say over I his own signature that "General (iariield ; had done no w rong, and Democrats and j Republicans united in so reporting." , This is a most lame and impotent con ' elusion and is in the very teeth of the : reioi-t which M'Crary signed in 17.1, j and of which the following is an extract: i "The facts in regard to ( larfield, as found ! by the committee, are that he agreed with Mr. Allies' to lake ten shares of Credit Mobi ; her stock, but did not so pay for the same. 1 Mr. Ames received the so per cent, dividend i in bonds and sold them for ;7 per cent., and ! aUo received theCn percent. cah dividend, which, together with the price of the stin k I and interest, left a balance of S:-,l. This . sum was paid over to Mr. ( iariield by a cheek oa tl.-- sergeant-at-arins, and Mr. (iariield i then inideistiMjil this .sum was the balance of dividends after paying for the stock." ! If M'Crary believed the foregoing statement to 1 e hue wht n he signed the : report he deserves to be branded as a liar now, because his two positions are ; utterly ami hopelessly inconsistent w ith cacti olln-i- aim cannot sianu togeiner. His dilemma is piecisely like that of Poland and Ranks, his two Republican colleagues on the committee. They were all honest enough in ls7:i to report the truth ab'Kit Ganield's negotiations with Ames, and to stand by it. but in lsso, when (iariield has become the can didate of their party for the Presidency, they rusli into print as the apologists ot the "man thev arraigned in their report !t y of perjury and corrupt ion. It is too thin and il is too I. it", Tin: Pitt-burgh I):.j,:ti-li expresses its belief that there would he nothing wrong or out of place in Mr. CarHeld taking the stun, p. of which there is not the slightest danger. Why would lie do so unless to explain away his dealings with Oakes Anns in Credit Mobilier stock, and the -". ion he admits he received from the De Golycr p ivenient company. It would be a sorry sight to see James A. (iariield stand up before ;t crowd and attempt to show that the i?:i'M for which Ames give him a check on the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House was "a loan" and n il the balance due him, after tlie enor mous dividends on the stock had extin guished its nominal price, 51,(X.K); or to li.sten to him attempting to satisfy an audience how he asan honest man, while holding the position of chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, could take a fee of !?.",(! M from a patent pave ment company to procure for it a con tract with the Washington city authori ties, the m.i'iey to pay which could alone be appropriated by his own committee. Only four years ago Mr. (iariield at tempted to do all tiiis in a pamphlet ad dressed to his own Republican constitu ents, but it failed to convince them, for they not only passed resolutions at a mass meeting in his district bitterly de nouncing him, but nominated a candi date against him. It issafe to say, there fore, that the fff'c'i. will not have the pleasure of hearing its candidate on the stump at least not during the present campaign. I.vii Mot'AT, a lb-publican oliti cian of riiiladelphia. and a delegate to the Chicago convention, was arrested, tried, and eleven of the twelve jurors (the twelfth one having been bribed by Mount's friends) were iu favor of con icting him of st tilling tlu ballot-box and aliering the returns at the Spring election in that city. His guilt was plain, and the Judge ln-foro whom lie was tried clearly intimated as much to th1 jury, i I ut lie was acquitted all the same, the jury fading to agree, and now he has been appointed by the llepubli can organization of Philadelphia as chairman of the committee on '"the col ored vole."' Tlie crime for w hich Mount cam ." so near being sent to the peniten tiary was committed against William Calhoun, a proiiiincni Kepublican, who was running as an imli-pcnileiit, candidate- for an ollic'c in his own ward. A week ago last night Calhoun joined the First Ward Hancock L'-gion, and made a speech defining his posit 'on.

I am pleased to learn that a score or more of Philadelphia's most distinguished physi c iaDs were at Cresson Springs for the purpose of examinintr and testing the waters. It is also stated that they organized a meeting while at Cresson, and passed a resolution endorsing it as a mountain summer retreat. anil lis wairrs as ouermu sujiei ni meain.i to persons seeking health and recreation. Let me ask if those eminent physicians had read Dr. l. M. S. Jackson's book, entitled "The Mountain" ? Hail they a knowledge of the Doctor's long labors, struggles, disap pointments and sufferings, in his effort to set the claims of the Cresson springs to the "mu sic of science and nature?" If they possess ed a knowledge of the Doctor's earnestness, of his desire for the world's recognition and , n t;.. .a li e " Allerrhenv Mountain ! Sanitarium," they should, with their resolu- ! : tion endorsing Cresson and its waters, also j ! litive nnssed imp for the erection of a monu- nient in honor of the giftet and distinguished originator of that now noted summer resort. I Yniir correspondent know well of the des ! perate labors, struggles ami trials of the un j fortunate author of the "Allegheny Moun I tain Sanitarium." It was the yearning do i sire of the Doctor's heart, the highest atubi i tion of his life, to get something of the nat ural science of that piece of the venerable speroid (the earth) called the Allegheny i Mountain, made, more generally known to ! men ; also to introduce some of its metapliys- I ical elements into the recorded soul ot the i ! world, and. above all, to assert its sanitary claims as powers to produce health and hap- j I piness. Dr. K. N. S. Jackson recanted it as j his mission, as a command from Heaven, to found at Cressim a Mountain Sanitarium, and j , Cresson to-day may be hailed as a signal ! manifestation of the merciful interposition of , a special Providence. If Cresson is a favor- : ! ite resort and creditable to Pennsy Ivanians, , . to Dr. it. M. S. Jackson they are indebted for : it; and the physicians of Pennsylvania will ! do themselves credit and the State honor in ' j commemorating the establishing of Cresson i by erecting a Jackson monument on its beau- j ; tiful grounds, in front of the Cresson build- i 1 ing. i DiK-tor It. M. S. Jackson, the founder of , I Cresson, was a regular member of the old I I scIkhjI of medicine for many years, and there , I being but few country sanitaria, or health I estatilisr.nients under the jurisdiction of the ! regular profession of medicine, there was a i i dream that possessed bis head, or in his own ', ' words, "a mononianical thought, a demon j 1 idea, which took final possession of the w hole i mind and heart of its victim." The vision of ; ; its accompanying prayer shaped itself in this ' form : "t iuardiaii spirits ot the world '. grant i the power to construct on some mountain top , ; some tall heaven-kissed hill,' some Alpine ! height of the earth's surface, above the plains ! of perpetual malaria, a hospital, a sanitarium, ! a letreat for tlie sick, for those who struggle ' with iHease in the healed plains below, or in i the poioneii vailevs ! Vouchsafe this power, anh with the remedial virtues of change of air. climate, water, and exercise, and tin- in- ftrumentilitt: Hit v'niroex of the rcti'I'tr rt I of iulinf7, there shall be resiiilsiii the sphere of physical regeneration yet undreamedof in medical philosophies, (.unit this power, an- i swer this prayer, and judge oi the tree by its fruit." The enterprise involved the necessity ot sundry and various personal rencoimier.s and financial trouble, but it was a ihn-torial pro ject lie had nursed in his heart and brain for years, and for which he waited with patient vigilance and solicitude. Through sufferings, distractions, agonies, heart scaliiings, and sorrows, lie labored for his loved and grand scheme of benevolence a Mountain Sanita rium. 1 1 the preface of his book, "The Moun tain," the Doctor says: "To escape in some way the fill! mo? sure of suffering of a coun try practice, the extreme agiinv-s and dreary wa-tes of horror of a country iloctor's life, and at the same time to obtain the clear mountain top of a higher lorce professional, a larger range of power, a more extensive here, ii: which to develop the heavenly : functions of the art of healing: in shoit, : from the inception th enterprist; has been I nothing but an enlarged jrjectioii of the ! roiiittry ph'i'fimts mirrr in the relief ef suffer- ' ing, aitd the rrevtion of health and happi- ' HCsS." Although the lamented Doctor's dream, 1 which tiwiK posses-ion of his w hole mind and heart, the establishment of a Sanitarium on ; the Miniiiiit of th! Allegheny mountain, is not yet a reality, lull of blessings for siilb-r- I ing man, et tliiongh his manipulations on ! ! tne Apaiachiaus, ( rcsson is not a delusion or ' a folly, but a glorious substance, of beauty ! and interest. As a rural retreat from the deleterious agencies of heat and malaria, it possesses moii? essential eleiueiitsof a perfect summer resort than any other part of the continent of North America, and where a ; monument should he erected to eomtnenio- rate its founder, Hubert M. S. Jackson. I V ONS;II.1!ATION K EliYWHF.ltE. There is a general postponement "f upon differences and discord in Democratic circles everywhere. The peace and harmony move ' nient in Pennsylvania has served to consoli date all the opposing . iciuocratic interests in every other locality. The same spirit of con , ciiiaiioit prevails among the Democrats in every State. Since that dramatic incident at Cincinnati, when John Kelly and Col. Fel lows "shook hands across the bloody chasm," 1 there has been a general following of their ; example. Since they gave tlie right hand of ' lellowship in token of a reconciliation of the Democratic factions respectf ally represented by them, there has been a universal shaking. Theie may not be a very great degree of cor diality at the bottom ot this truce, as the old quarrels may break out afresh at some future : time, hut it is certain that there will he a gen eral postponement of tlie quarreling business - tint il after the Presidential election. It was no small sacrifice that th.( Tammany men '; made in yielding the eontiol of the party or j ganizalioii in New York city, where they had ' a very considerable following. The cheerful ' promptness which characterized this conces ! sioii is one of its most creditable features. , The withdiawal of tiie Tammany electoral '. ticket was a surrender of the kind which is I 1 votter than a victoiy. The reunion of the DeiiiiK-ralic parly in New Vork bids fair to be followed by a harmonious adjustment of 1 the Democratic difficulties in Massachusetts, ' where steps have been taken towards a call for a State convention in which both the P.ut lei and anli-Itutler factions will participate. j THE EX-Pi:FIIENT STOCK-UP I.l. KR. Kx-Presnlent ( Irant has become a tramp, a kind of an adventurer, the tool of .schemers w ho conspire to defraud the public by using , his name as a cover for dishonest enterprises. ! It maybe possible that the San Pedro and Canyon de I.ngtta Company, of which (Irant lias lieen elected President, is not a wild cat concern, but whether it is or not, for the credit of the Amei iean character, ex-lVesi-' dent (irant should not sniTet his name to be at the head of it. The man who lias held the office of President should be something more than a mere ptivale citizen upon the expira , tion of his term. It was disgraceful enough j to the nation when Minister Slienck connect ed himself with the F.mma Mine, and it will be still more iisor;oef al for ex-Prcsii'ent (Irant to put himself at the head of any 'doubtful scheme for 'raiding the wind." The Po-sident of any mining comnaiiv, or of any other corporation w hich partakes largely of a speculative character, is not the place, for an ex-President of Use IViited Slates. An ex-Piesiilenl should ffot become a tramp, or a tool of schemers who conspire to defraud the public. (Irant is to have a salary of -.",-nop, but not to do anything more than bull tlie stock and give the company a grand boost into notoriety. Mining schemes have, therefore, proved liiore attractive than Isth mus canals. The ex-Presidential tramp and stock-loillcr is now likely to become a bo panza king. r.oTHKUFn to spend ;ii: ri's money.

There is so much money on hand in the (lirard Trust that it bothers the mein liers tf siiend it, and hence a very large sum has been expended in fixing up the front of the blocks on Chestnut street, between Klev enth and Twelfth streets, so as to give it a jungeroterfj appearance.

So in the case of Joseph It. ( handler, whose will, recently published, has made not a siBgle boo, nest to any public or private charity. As he had a perfect right to do, he left nil 'his wealth to his family, but when a man for years plays the part of a public philanthropist, spending the public money lavishly for charitable objects, while he himself is blessed with an abundance of the world's goods, the public naturally ex pects that when he comes to tlie he will. show some faith iu his professions of philantrophy bv bequeathing some of his own means for charitable purposes.
