FRIDAY, - - - - MAY 13, 1881.
At last Monday night's session of the
House at Ilarrisburg, the mutual crim
inations ami recriminations of half a
dozen members Yho assume the Repub
lican leadership of that body was dis
graceful enough to put to shame even a
cariet-bag Legislature during the recon
struction period.
At the caucu3 of the Republican mem
beisof the U. S. Senate on Monday last,
Conklingmade a speech in which he en
tered into the minutest details in regard
to what he alleges as Garfield's broken
promises to him concerning the New
York nominations, and is reported to
have undertaken to prove to the caucus
that Garfield had 'iied wilfully and de
liberately and had forfeited the respect
due from one gentleman to another."
The Judicial apportionment bill,
which passed the Senate some time ago,
was reported by the House committee
toward the close of last week, and there
does not exist any doubt of its final pas- j
sage. The Legislative apportionment
bill has not thus far received any con
sideration in either House. Billingsley,
chairman of the House committee, it is
true, made amotion one day this week
to suspend.the rules and take up the bill,
but as Billingsley's motion was made
with the secret understanding that it
should be defeated, that result was
promptly effected.
Wk publish in another column a vig- j
orous and manly letter, addressed by j
Hon. Wm. A. Wallace to the editors of !
the New York Wurhl and Philadelphia j
Tinas, in reply to the story of certain ;
Washington correspondents that "mon- j
ey to a large amount received from the !
star route ring was used in nominating
Gen. Hancock at Cincinnati'' "that
money from the same source was used in
the Pennsylvania Pemociatic State con
vention of 1S80,-" and that in his capa
city as chairman of the sub-committee of
the Senate appropriation committee on
the postoffice bill, Mr. W, had aided
and abetted the Star route plunderers.
The letter is a clear and candid denial of
the silly and shabby story, and is well
worthy of the ability and fame of the
tlistingHished statesman who penned it.
The magnitude of the Star route
plunder nitty be seen by taking the fol
lowing named vve mail routes, the first
being in Texas, the second in new Mex
ico, the third in Dakota and Montana,
the fourth in Wyoming, and the fifth in
Arizona. On these five routes, as is
shown below, the original contract pi ice
was increased by General Brady, who
had the control of that branch of busi
ness iu the Postoffice Department, near
ly six h'l'ulrcil thousnail (lolUirs. The
yearly postal receipts of the different
routes are also given :

The weight of opinion among the
Catholic clergy it. Ireland is strongly op
josed to making any factious opposition
to Mr. Gladstone's Irish Land bill, but
being well satificd that it will pass, their
great inrtuenee is being exerted to get
the bill in the best possible and least
objectionable shape to the Irish ieople.
Archbishop Cioke, of Cashel, whose
counsels have great influence with the
people of Ireland, published a letter re
garding the Land bill on Saturday last,
in which he says : "Let the Land bill
have its second reading. If it cannot iu
committee be brought into such a shape
as will commend it to the good sense of
the country, or into harmony with the
Views of the leaders of sound public
opinion in Ireland, both lay and ecclesi
astical, let it be rejected as inadequate
to do what it pretend.- and therefore uu
vorthy of our approval and supiiort."
It was entirely unnecessary for the
Johnstown Tribune to "most lespeetful-
Jy inform the Freeman- that the ques- i
tion of repudiation of the State debt of
Virginia is not a national question and
does not enter into the contest in the
United States in fact, it is a local is
sue." Everybody will admit this, but
the doctrine of repudiation, whether na
tional or local whether it disowns the
obligations of the general government
or the debt of a Statp, county or town
ship is alike disgraceful and dishonest;
and wiien Republican Senators under
take to strengthen Mahone and Riddle
berger, whose avowed purpose, should
they carry the election next fall, is tin
repudiation of one-third of the debt of
Virginia, they become the active part
ners of Mahone in conducting his dis
honest crusade against the integrity and
plighted faith of that State, and must
share equally with him the infamy of
the act. This is so plain a conclusion
that no right-minded man will dispute
it.
The Judiciary Committee of the I".
S. Senate on Monday last reported against
confirming the nomination of Stanley
Matthews .is an Associate Justice of the
.Supreme Court. It is understood that
the vote in coinmittce was as follows :
Infavor of confirmation, Mr. Lamar ;
against it, Messrs. Kdmunds, Logan,
Ingalls, McMillen, Davis, oflllinois, and
Uayaid ; absent, Messrs. fonklincr and
Garland. The friends of Matthews claim
that they can control encngh votes in
the fcenate to confirm him. We do not
believe it, but as the white man, ac
cording to the IndianVestimate of him,
ij "mighty uncertain," and especially
so if he happens to be a member of the
U. S. Senate, we must wait hoping for a
different result. Mr. Lamar's vote in fa
vor of Matthews is paying Matthews for
the part he took in getting Hayes to
-agree to withdraw the troops from the
South, proi islol the .Southern inembersof
Congress would permit the count of the
electoral voie to proceed to the end with
out being interfered with or interrupted.
This wasdone, Hayes was declared elec
ted, and the troors were withdrawn
itora South Carolina and Louisiaja.
Adam Badkac, who was a member

Giaat iu tl-.rte vo'.uuu-d. ai.,1. judging
flOIi t.'i si.liOiC Oil Xihvit'tltt o pi 0'.iiCtiJil
which appeared in the Johnstown Tri
bune of last Monday, it will neither do
Grant any good in the estimation of the
country, if Badeau's statements are to
be believed, nor will it establish the re
putation of the latter as a historian of
truth. According to the Johnstown
Ti i?(ne article,Badeau represents Grant
as saying of Frank Sigel, the German
General : "He will do nothing but run.
He never did anything else." Badeau
must have made a mistake and substitu
ted JSigel's name for that of Schurz, for
after that General's sorry ierformances
at the second Bull Run battle, and else
where, it was said to be a common ex
pression among German soldiers, "We
ijiyht mit Sigel and we run mit Schurz.''
Sigel "s reputation for courage was never
questioned. When the brave General
Lyon was killed at the commencement j
of the war near Springfield, in South- j
western Missouri, Sigel conducted the
retreat and for his ability and skill re- j
ceived the highest piaise of the best
army officers. After that he fought like I
a hero at the bloody battle of Pea Ridge, !
in Arkansas, just over the Missouri line,
ana iuiiy sust iineu his reputation as a ;
man of undoubted courage. We don't
exactly believe that Grant ever said of I
Sigel what Badeau represents him as j
having said, but when we remember how
he deliberately lied about Gen. Hancock j
last fall in an interview with a Chicago !
preacher, Badeau's statement becomes j
highly probable. Grant may have been
as willing to injure Sigel as he was to
defame Hancock, but his malice will 1
fail in accomplishing its purpose.- j
j
The Republican leaders during the '
last eight years have resorted to a great ;
many methods to break up the solid
South, but Grant's plan of the bayonet j
was the only one which met with any- ;
thing but disastrous and absurd failure. !
Grant's summary mode of doing things '
: was abandoned by Hayes, who conceiv
i ed the brilliant idea that the only sure
way to divide political sentiment in the
: Southern States was to put David M.
J Key, who in a speech in the Senate had
j declared that Tilden and not Hayes had
. been elected, in his cabinet as Postmas-ter-General.
Key was put in according
! ly, and the whole country knows the
J alarming progress he made with the aid
j and counsel of Hayes himself in split
: ting the solid South. Xow we have the
rlan of the Republican members of the
Senate, which was to form a coalition
with Mahone, who represents the odious
and accursed doctrine of repudiation and
represents nothing besides, and in ad
dition to elect Riddlebcrger, Mahone s
right bower in Virginia, to the office of
Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate. This
is what the thirty-seven Republican Sen
ators, with the assistance of Mahone
and Arthur, the Vice President, have
been wanting to do for the last six
weeks, and which they would have ac
complished but for the simple reason
that the Democratic Senators exercised
the power they wielded, thereby prevent
ing the consummation of the disgrace
ful bargain. The man who supposes
that the Democratic party in the South
ern States can be split in two by such
wedges as Mahone and Riddleberger,
with all the power the senate can con
fer upon them, has a most miserable
conception of the South and her people.
When Garfield reached Washington,
! a few a days prior to the 4th of March,
j he had not decided on all the members
of his cabinet, and Don Cameron, fear
ing the appointment of Wayne Mac
Veagh as Attorney-General, and being
determined to prevent it if lie could, put
his obedient tools to work to manufac
ture a large amount of political capital
in favor of Alfred C. Harmer, a mem
ber of Congress from one of the Phila
delphia distiicts, for Postmaster-General
On Saturday last, Joseph R. Black,
of Philadelphia. who is Harmer's partner
in the coal business, was arrested with
three others for complicity in the scheme
to defraud the Government by putting
in straw bids for mail contracts in Tex
as, Harmer, it seems, had recommend
ed Black to the department as a respon
sible bidder, and although he may be
clear of any connection with the cor
ruptions of the Star route ring, it was a
fortunate thing, from the facts develop
ed in Black's case, that he was not put
at the head of the Postoffice Depart- j
ment. The ugly fact still remains that j
Cameron was excessively anxious for li is i
appointment, and he is credited with j
generally knowing the precise kind of a i
man he wants to seo in an important I
public position at Washington, !
In as mild a manner as the case would !
lossibly bear, we asked the editor of the ;
Altoona Tribune last week for the proof j
of his statement, that the "Bourlions of j
South Carolina" had illustrated their j
idea of "a fair and free election" by I
throwing "cayenne pepper in the eyes j
of colored voters," but he has not seen j
proper to respond, for the reason, we i
supiose, that the charge is a bald, nak- J
ed and shameless falsehood. We pre- i
sume the editor did not invent it, but
saw it somewhere in print and rashly en
dorsed it by its reproduction in his edi
torial columns. The editor may possi
bly regard it as a trifling and nnimpor-
liint matter, but it is no light thing to
prefer such an accusation against the
people of a State. It is just such malic
ious inventions as this that beget ill feel
ing and keep alive the accursed spirit of
hate between the two sections of coun
try, and that is the sole purpose of those
who originate them. If the Tribune
! lnan had reflected a moment, it would j
have occurred to him that such intimi
dation at the different election polls in
South Carolina would involve the waste
of "cayenne" to such a frightful extent
as to cause a sudden and alarming rise
in the market price of that commercial
exchange.
Sinc e thejdeadlock was broken inthe
.Senate, on Wednesday of last week,
without Riddleberger being elected Ser-geaut-at-Arms,
the Pittsburg Dispatch
asks :
"Where are now the elulogiesof Mahoce ?
Where are the brilliant pictures about dis
solving the solid South ? Where are the pan
egyrics on the most glorious stand ever tak
en by a band of fearless patriots ?' Is it
possible that all the chatter about patriotism,
and noble stands, aud fearless statesmen.
j was but to iiuoibu aud diude the people."

rSpecial Correspondence of the Freeman
Philadelphia, May 9, 1S81.
Dear McPikf. A suicidal mania is pre
vailing not only in this city but almost every
where to an alarming extent. It is sadden
ing to contemplate death in any form, hut
the saddest of all forms is suicide. There
are thousands of wear-, heavy laden souls
who have a sympathetic chord "touched upon
reading the niany startling accounts of death
by suicide, and to such persons a death by
suicide is not incomprehensible or surprising.
When one who has long leen strutrsling with
adversity, who has kins leen jostled and
pushed aside by the fortunate surging throng,
and all hopes of bettering his or her condi
tion is gone, it is not altogether surprising
that in a moment of desp.tir life is thrown
away. These are reflections which volun
tarily suggest themselves to the minds of
such as are themselves struggling with mis
fortunes and adversities. They feel as if the
grave would be a refuge, and in a moment
of frenzied despair throw away the lives that
were given them Some have sad experiences j
in every-dav life. exatious delays and
continual disappointments when in straiten- j
ed circumstances are wearing upon a nervous ,
system and with many the mind gives way 1
and relief is sought in suicide. Numbers of
sad cases of this kind have occurred within
the last few days. There seems to be a ma
nia of suicidal mania prevailing all over the
country.
PHILADELPHIA STAR ROUTERS.
Philadelphia stands pre-eminent for the !
production of Star routers. Our city enjoys j
me distinction ot possessing more citizens
who figure conspicuously among those who
have suddenly acquired fame by their con
nection with the star service than any other
city in the Union. Hostlers, shoemakers,
jo?t masters, congressmen, etc., are mixed
up in the dirty business. While our most
honorable accused citizens are industriously
making denials of any complicity in the
frauds, people generally are too uncharitable
to believe them. That they helped the frauds
along is generally received as a fact. One
singie individual in Philadelphian had his
pay increased from $42,871 to $ll.VS- All
the honorable gentlemen, such as Hartranft
Harmer, Bingham, and others," regret thai 1
their names are connected with the Star
route scandal, and Deputy Postmaster Bing
hamand his principal, Postmaster Hartranf t,
declare they will never again sign fraudulent
certificates.
THE CITY'S K1I.THT CONDITION.
Whatever hidden causes of disease and
death there may be in our cit-, the filthy
condition of our streets is a manifest source
of danger. It is difficult to correctly charac
terize the official imleci!ity which "tolerates
such a state of affairs. Street cleaning should
be put in charge of a medical inspector and
dictatorial power given to him. We are en
tering upon the warm season of the year,
when cleanliness becomes a sanitary consid
eration of special consequence. During the
last several weeks there has been a largely
increased mortality over the corresponding
weeks of lSsio, all of which is attributed to
the filthy condition of our streets.
THE CITY rXPKn ELECTRIC LIGHT.
A proposition has been made to illuminate i
Chestnut street lrom the Delaware river to
the Schuylkill. At present there is an aver
age of four gas lamps on Chestnut street to
each square between the two points named,
but the Brush Electric Eight Company pro
pose to place an electric liirht of J.noo candle
power, on an average of two to each square,
which will light the street so that a newspa
per can be easily read anywhere on the
street and at any hour during the night.
The company proposes to do this for the sum
of ."i,nou for the first year, the company to
bear the expense of placing tiie lumps and
running the machinery. It is not improbable
that a few years hence our whole city will be
illuminated by the electric light.
W A SH INC. W A S H 1 N : TON.
The rain and the dust in the course of a
year or two has had a very dirty effect on
George Washington, and as a consequence
the aforesaid George, who stands on the
pedestal in front of Independence Hall, looks
very dirty ami demoralized. A year or two
ago the ""Father of his Country" was scraped,
but now he is to be washed with a patent
compound. For the second t-iine since George
was mounted o:i Chestnut street the renova
tion of his outward exterior has become a
necessity. It is hoped that George, after be
ing thoroughly washed and cleansed this time,
will stay clean.
THE MVRDEU OF THE INNOCENTS.
The deep discredit which attaches to Phil
adelphia from the terrible mortality prevail-
ing among the almshouse infants, hasinduced I
the Isoard of Guardians of the Poor to hold
special meetings to consider the proposition
of the Society tor the Protection of Children j
from Cruelty to receive and care for the ;
foundlings. "Although the Society has made I
an offer to care for the children, it is not very i
Incoming in a big city a great city like
Philadelphia, which is"abundantly able to
provide for its poor to saddle any portion '
of them upon a private charity. The Socie- I
ty, though devoted to a noble wrrk, is not an .
established institution with an endowment
or otner fixed resources, but relies for its
support fi 'nn year to year upon the contribu
tions of the charitable. A frightful mortali
ty has gone on for ten years without any ef
fort being made to check it, ami is not only
a grave imputation on the Board of Guar
dian", but is a disgiace to the city to have al
lowed such a horrible state of things to exist
unchecked for so long a time. The testimony
concerning the condition of the management
or the children's department of the aims
house presents a ghastiy picture Mutt must
bring shame and indignation to every citizen.
FATHER MATTHEW'S BIRTHDAY.
The Catholic Societies are preparing to
celebrate Father Matthew's birthday in
grand style. The Catholic Total Abstinence
Archdiocesan Union has a membership of
seven thousand, and they are providing for
a parade on the loth of October next, in cel
ebration of the event referred to. There are
on the roil sixty-two societies, some of which
are composed of ladies. A magnificent dis
play may therefore be expected on the 10th
of October next, to be made bv the Catholic
I I tal Abstinence Archdiocesan Union of
' this city .
THE COMMITTEE OK ONE HUNDRED.
The committee of one hundred citizens of
Philadelphia, self-imposed as its duties may
be, has accomplished much good, and there
is much morefor it to accomplish. Although
unofficial and voluntary, it is capable of
great usefulness. It is "a rallying point lor
all the opponents of misuovern'ment and cor
rupt administration. Philadelphia should
le thankful for her committee of one hun
dred. It is a happy thing for Philadelphia
to have a body of honest, earnest and patri
otic citizens zealously watching its interests.
As Mr. Field, one of the committee, truly
said, "There is an outrageous state of affairs
when night schools can be kept but once in
the year, and one man can put 5100,000 in his
pocket in one year." When one individual
oflioer of the city can steal $100,000 in a sin
gle year it is high time there should be re
formers' movement started to overhaul city
office-holders.
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES.
From the bill before the Pennsylvania
Legislature for tiie suppression of "life in
surance companies, or rather speculative life
plane of industrious enercv than anv other
entei prise in this country. There is no oth
er business in the United States which occu
pies in Us entirety so high a plane of honest
industrious energy. The deep interest which
life insurance companies feel and take in
collecting premiums are wonderful, and
when death occurs the same wonderful in
dustry and energy which has been previous
ly displayed in obtaining membership, Is at
once applied to resisting the payment of the
claim under the policy. In this respect I can
safely venture to say that no other business
in the United States occupies so very high a
plane of honest, industrious energy.
G. S.
y.x-SEN-ATort Wallace and the Star
IfbvTK Appropriations. The monument
al liar at Washington is at it again with the
stale story slt Senator Wallace favored the
Star route appropriation in return for the
financial assistance of the contractors to de
feat Randall and nominate General Hancock
at Cincinnati. This garrulously-malignant
liar says that $21,000 was spent to elect Han
cock delegates in Pennsylvania, and that the
meagre expenss of the Hancock canvas in
Cincinnati were raised by subscriptions on
the snot, and dirt not amount all told to tho
twentieth part of this sum. If T. Pepper
wa. alive he would blush with mortification
and jealousy in presence of this exuberant
liar. When Senator Wallace supported the
Post Office appropriation, including that for
the Star mail route, it received at the same
time the support of every member of the
Senate, Democrat and Republicans and they
cannot even by dint of theliardest kind of ly
ing shift any responsibility ou iunoceut shoul

A wonderful monstrosity of the porcine

and chin like a monkey, has only one eye,
and that in the centre "of its head, feet n

flock to see this menstrosity.
There is a colored man on (i M. Ttay's

been known to do a culpable act.

Professor Lewis Swift tho
at Rochester, New York, discovered another
southerly direction. It seems that Prof
Proctor asserted that the discovery of anoth
er comet this year "would give serious
grounds for apprehending the end of the
world," but Professor Swift is of a different
opinion.
The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle of
May 6 says : "Dr. Swift has named the new
comet, so far as he has authority, 'Comet
1881. If other comets are discovered during
the year, then the designation will br 'Comet
A of lSSl.' With reference to the desire of
the ew ork World that it be called the
'Star-Route Comet,' on account of its irregu
lar movements, Dr. Swift says he thinks it
bad enough to have the Star-Route frauds

to the skies on the tail of a eomet"
On Thursday morning a woman leared
from the Girard avenue bridge into "the
Schuylkill river at Philadelphia and was
drowned. Her hat and veil has been identi

twenty-three years old, who was married on
Wednesday, the day before she committed
6uicide. Her husband, John Patterson, is a
hosiery manufacturer. Her friends believe
that tho prospect of continued poor health
and the excitement attending her marriage
had effected her reason. Her body was re

The Dement family were traveling thro'
Arkansas in a wagon. They camped one
day on top of a hill, and the father went off
to fish in a stream a miie away, leaving the
wife and two children to mind the horses
and baggage. When he returned he saw a
prairie lire moving up the lull. He hallooed
to awaken Mrs. Dement and the children,
for night bad fallen and they were asleep.
They found themselves approached on one

Rev. Father Maloney, of miracle fame,
was deposed from the Catholic priest hood at
F.rie, Pa., twelve years ago. He went to F.u
rope, and only lately returned to bis old
home. Kllen MeQuifllan apparently died
soon afterward at Summit. MaloneV com
manded her to rise from the dead, and she
immedintly opened her eyes. This was ac
cepted by many in that region as a miracle,
,and the alleged cure of several cripples in
creased the ex-priest's fame. The Hishopof
Erie discountenanced these things, but with
out effect. Maloney made arrangements to
open a big 1 warding house for patients, in
order to secure all the profit possible out of

his confidence, now exposes him as an im

A Washington special, referring to the

that the Attorney-Gemnal and l'ostmaster

evidence which the Government Is daily ac

whole ring of contractors, bidders, bonds
men, postmasters, and intermediaries, is
both direct, documentary and circumstan
tial. 1' he prosecutions will be conducted in
a dozen Slates and in nearly, if not all, the
Territories. Besides this evidence for crim
inal prosecutions the Post master-General is
empowered and in position to recover a very
large amount of the money got from the
Treasury in the name of expedited and in
creased mail service. On one route aeon

j The Rest American Railroad. Tn a

public spirit in its connection with the (inv

j We have no doubt this is so. There can
j be no more competent witness than Mr.
' James: but it is equally true that in every
i other respect, the Pennsylvania Railroad is
the ;best railroad in America. It has great
disadvantages to contend against. Its
grades are heavy, and in many places there
: are considerable engineering diinculties in
; its construction. Compared with the New
I York Central, for instance, with its straight
line and its level road led, the natural in
1 feriority of the Pennsylvania is very great :
i but through anility, energy, ana liberality in
; its management, this inferiority is more than
: made up: so that its immense passenger

The secret of our great business is only this : Doing our level best to
make up the right kind of clothing, and having made it right, then counting
the cost, and b
SELLING AT THE RIGHT PRICES.
This we have been doing for twenty years; and have clothed over
hundred of thousands, old and young.
This Spring wc Overtop ever' Fast Spring.
The spring has been so backward that we have had ample gctting-ready
time, and the extraordinary stock of clothing that every man and boy may
choose from is without equal in America. The stock is something wonderful.
SOUND AS HONEST WORK CAN MAKE IT.
The best sewing on the best cloths, the best trimmings, the Vst Ftyles,
and the best money's worth that can be put into clothing anywhere. It
is a great thing to say. that not another house in- the land can do sc
much in clothing you so well. The cloths come direct tons; we buv them
largely ; we make up the clothing in our own well-ordered wavs, knowing
all the things that belong to making clothing well, and they will go direct
from us, the makers, to you, the wearers, not a profit between. That's
why Oak. Hall has the lowest prices, as well as the best clothing.
During the past ninety days wc have, in making up this new sprint; stork,
so improved the patterns, our ways of making, and minor details th it this
spring's exhibition of ready-made clothing might be fairly called
