EBENSBURC. PA.,
FRIDAY, - - - - MAY 27, 1581.
The number of immigrants arriving
at the different jorts of this country
during the month of April was l'",30O.
Of this number German- furnished
898, and Ireland The Dominion
of Canada contributed the large nuni-
ber of 12,3 nearly 3,000 more than j
came from Ireland. The whole number j
of immigrants during the ten months j
preceding the 1st of May was 444,812. i
The .St. Louis Globe-Democrat, which
claims to be the original third-term pa
per and is one of the few leading Repub
lican journals that espouses the cause of
Conkling in his quarrel with Garfield,
in an article on the unpleasantness now
raging between the two factions of the
Republican party, speaks of his late
Fraudulcncy as "a person by the name
of Hayes, whom some of us willremem
beras holding an otlice at Washington,"
and says of Garfield, that he ''came into
power after a campaign in which a large
part of the oratory on the Republican
side was devoted to proving a negative
as to 3 JO."
From Monday of last week, when
Conkling and Piatt resigned their seats
in the Senate until the Senate finally
adjourned on the following Friday, the
Democrats, who had a clear majority,
could have elected one of their own
number President iro tetn., and could al- I
so have tabled Dawes' resolution to oust j
the Democratic officials of that body, j
But they didn't do either. This fact, j
so creditable to the Democratic Sena
tors, correctly illustrates the spirit ani-
mating the two parties in the Senate. -
If the ca.-e had been reversed the Repub
licans would have been quick to take ad
vantage of the situation.
In a conversation in Washington last
week, Conkling expressed his belief that
the third-term movement had not lost
any of its original strength, but that on
the contrary the treacherous course of
Ciarfield would rally the party at the j
next convention to the support of a dt- :
termined and straightforward man like 1
Grant, upon whose word reliance could
always be placed. He spoke more earn
estly upon that feature ot the situation
than upon any other, and said that this
was the beginning of a light by him for
the election of Grant or of some Repub
lican equally realiable, and against all
political ''milksops of the Garfield and
JIayes stamp."
It was a lucky thing to have been an
officer in Garfield's regiment, Sheldon

to be I'nited States Senator when that

course they are all from Ohio, that pro- J
litic mother of office-holders ever since
Hayes was fraudulently imposed upon
ti e country as its 1 'resident.
i
Amo.vo all the nominations sent to the !
Senate last week by the President, the
meanest and most disreputable was that
of General Judson Kilpatrick, of New
Jersey, to be Minister to Chili. He
held the same jiosition a few years ago,
but had to be recalled. He is best re
membered by his performances in the
Presidential campaign of 1S7. He is
an apostle of Stephen W. Dorsey 's meth
od of carrying a State election, and
while he was stumping Indiana for
Hayes he telegraphed to him these mem
orable words : "Plenty of money and the
bloody shirt will make Indiana certain."
These potent Republican arguments in
a State campaign didn't make "Indiana
certain" in 1S76, but they did the work
effectually, especially tho "plenty of
money" arg umeiit, under Dorsey "s man
agement in lsn.
Postmastkj: Gexekaj, James, who
lias always had a warm side for Conk- !
ling, not only united with Vice Presi-
dent Arthur, together with ConRliug
and Piatt, in signing a letter to Garfield 1
protesting against Robertson's noinina- I
tiou and asking Garfield to withdraw it, '
but was the bearer himself of the letter !
to the President. If any man can im-
agine Amos Kendall, who was Postmas- i
tet General under that man of iron will. ;
Andrew Jackson, carrying and deliver-
ing to "Old Hickory' asimilardocument '
touching one of his nominations to the I
Senate, he may safely conclude that with-
in twenty-four hours a communication j
would be sent to that body nominating j
another itrson to the office of Postmaster .
General, "in the place of Amos Kendall, j
iot ci'." The mantle of Jackson, how
ever, has not fallen on the shoulders of
James A. Garfield.
Next Tuesday is the dav on which
the Legislature of New York must com-i
tuence balloting for two U. s. Senators !
to succeed Conkling and Piatt. Thev
are both now at Albany seeking a "vin- j uepr le proposes now to ascertain
dication." which means a re-election, ! whether.under the Federal constitution,
and the outlook may be briefly and cor- ' a stale ,!as the light to tak- his proper
rectly stated as follows : If all the Re- ' for rillj'it' kv forbidding him to
publican members go into the caucus, !
Conkling and Piatt will be nominated! i
as
their friends will be ir. a majority.
The Garfield men, however, under the '
, , ;
leadership cf Judge Robertson, who is a :
member of the State Senate declare th-it i
, vv.cni, iii.il.
mry win iieiiuer enter me caucus nor
vote under any circumstances for Conk
ling and Piatt. It only requires tictnbj
sn rn Republicans to act with Robertson
II Ml :.l '
in order to prevent an election, and he j
says he has several over that number i
who will stand by him. The Democrats
will support two candidates of their own,
aad a deadlock will thus be created pre
cisely like that which existed for so long
a time at Harrisburg, at the beginning
of the present session of the Legislature.
The strong probabilities are that there
will be no election, and that the choice
Df Senators will devolve upoq the Legis
lature to le elected next November,
WuEN William E. Chandler's name
came before the Senate last Friday for
confirmation as Solicitor tienem!, ne
discovered that Democratic Senators
had a vivid recollection of the events of
four years ago and of the infamous part
he played in falsifying the vote of Flor
ida, stealing it from Tilden ani giving
it to Haves, He was rejected by i ma
jority of J've votes, and thus, as Judge
Hlack warned the electoral commission,
it came to pass that the mills of God
grind slowly but still they grind and
grind exceeding small. Chandler didn't j
receive the vote of a single Democratic
Senator, a3 he never ought to have re
ceived. This was the merited punish- 1
merit indicted upon hiai for the crime of i
helping to steal the vote of a State and
giving the Presidency to a man who was j
not the choice of a majority of the Am- j
erican people. And yet the same Sen
ate that rejected Chandler for the one
cause stated, came to the relief of Stan- i
ley Matthews in the hour of his great- j
esi pern ana continued mm as an Asso- i
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court by
... . , ,. , J !
one vote. Matthews had acted as j
conspicuous a part in stealing from Til- .'
i i - .. i- - r t -it ii i
den the vote of Louisiana as Chandler
had in the case of Florida, but while
the one was deservedly crushed, the oth
er sits to-day as a Judge of the highest
Court known to the laws of the country.
But then Garfield himself went down to
Xew Orleans and did all he could by
hook and by crook to set aside the ver
dict of the ballot-boxes in I.ouisian l and
make them tell a lie, and his reward has
been his election to the highest office in
the gift of the people. There are rea
sons which brought about the confirma
tion of Matthews, to the most influen
tial one of which we have two or three
times heretofore referred and need not
now repeat them. I5ut if the Democratic
Senatoxs whose votes placed him where
j,e i, are not some time in the fiit...
found calling ujion the mountains to
rise up and fall upon them, then history
will fa:l to repeat itself.
As Conkling and Iii.AixK are just
now the most conspicuous figures in the
Republican quarrel growing out of Gar
field's nomination of Judge Robertson
to the office of Collector of the Port of
New York, we publish below what the
n,an from Maine said about the
man i
irom .New l ork in a debate in Congress .

DEATH OF THOMAS A. SCOTT.
: When in my lat letter to the Fuekmas I
! wrote of Mr Scott's convalescence, I had no
; thought that in my next letter 1 would write
I of liis death. The mightiest monarch that
i shake the earth with th ir f.K't steps have
, no tinner hold upon life than the Immbicst
peasant. There is no appeal for relict fiom
i the great law that dooms usall todust. The
j tiat of death is inexorable, yet few think of
i the great event until its shadow falls ncross
their pathway. My earnest prayer is, that
the noble soul of l'homas A. Scott in passing
: through the dark valley was conducted to
paradise. Few men had as many warm, oe
' voted friends as Thomas A. Scott, lie had
! a graceful manner of mingling with men of
all stations and occupations with w hom lie
was brought in contact. II was genial, en
, gaging and peculiarly graceful in manner.
i By all who knew him as a companion and a
! friend his death will be deeply mourned.
I The deatu fcf Thomas A. Scott removes from
i the lield of action one of tne most lemarka
j bio men of the day. Ilis careei was a bril
j iiaut one. From the humblest walks of lite
lie rtis-e to the head of one of the greatest
l coriiorntions iind firander Sirnct in-cs of 1 he
rominci-.l one in which he was the rulinc
spirit, and of which he was the chief archi
tect. Thomas A. Scott will not onlv be re-
s 'menibered as a great railroad king, hut also
for his generous friendship and benevolence.
His memory will be kept tresli and green by
many whom he kindly befriended! While
! lew men leave a grander record behind them,
still fewer die whose death is so generally
and sincerely regretted.

THE REVISED NEW TESTAMENT. j
The Christian worM for a long time ha '
becu cm tip-toe in expectation of the Bevfsed i
New Testament. It had be?n promised 1
ngain and again until the people had become i
weary of promises, bnt now that it has come !
at last there will be a great demand for it. '
Many who are advanced in years and have '
been fed on familiar words of scripture dur- '
ing long lives will be sad!y disturbed it pass- 1
m new (tress and clothed with a different ex
presMon. ( lianges will appear to them like
sacrilege. But a lapse of centuries havin"
produced a revolution in the Kngtish laip
guage, it was thought by many that a corres
pondir.g change was needed in the revision
of the scriptures. There was such a great dis
gust on the part of many modern preactiers
for the simple Saxon style of the Bible, that a
revision of sprint ti ! n r. n ... .
sary. Speaking of this necessity, one of our
Zh'T '"7' sai(i : ' is high time

"If thou art beneficent, let not thy right hand
know what thy left hand doeth." Numer
ous other American divines made up their
minds that the present English bible was no
longer to be tolerated on account of tho inel
egance of its language.
Xor is tho simple language of the Bible
tolerated by many English and other Euro
pean clcrgyuieu. There are numerous uiiu-
isters of the po-ipel in Europe who think that
simple instruction from ttie sacred desk, with
the present Rihlp ns ttit inspiration, is not
interesting ana therefore greatly lessens the
j influetiee of the minister. B-lnw is civen a
specimen ot the diaieot ot an tneusn aivine
hoklinir a lush position in L,oston. it is
a
translation of his manner of rendering the
Twentv-thild Psalm, and is as follows:
"Deity" is my pastor ; I shall not he indigent.
He maketli me to succumb on the verdant
lawns; He leadeth me beside the unrippled
liquidities: lie reins'alleth my spirit, and
condnctcth me in the avenues of rectitude
for the celebrity of my appellations. Un

manner : "Dearly beloved brethren : My
oral disquisitions having recently met (as I
have been informed ) with your vituperations,
1 hope it may not be considered an instance
of vain eloquence or supererogation, if I

lessens the influence of the minister. The

them "possess their souls in peace."
1 A NEW THINfl IN CHfRCHFK.
The Beecbers believe the old landmark of
; Christianity will bo entirely replaced by new
: ones, to which the uiu-egenerate. can offer no
objection. Some time ago, Dr. Thomas K.
. IVe.cher, of Kltnira, N. Y., brother of Henry
1 Ward Beeeher, of Brooklyn, invented and
talked about having patented the construc
tion of a church upon such principles as need
only be known to be strongly patronized.
i The church is to be a cozj "theatre, whre
j there arc to be performances of a varied na
i ture. The church is fo be a place of amuse

A shocking tragedy occurred near Al
bany, Ga., on Thursday, which has created
great excitement in the seighborhood. It
grew out of the jealousy of a married woman,
Mrs. Elsie Hill, whose husband had been at
tentive to a woman named Henrietta Cato.
Mrs. Hill followed her husband to Henriet
ta's house, and after a short and sharp quar
rel with her rival attacked her with a axe.
A terrible encounter ensued. Henrietta, in
defending herself, used a pocket knife, with
which she stabbed Mrs. Hill. The latter
finding herself badly injured cave up the
contest and soon after died ot her injuries.
Henrietta was arrested.
