.EBEK8BURC, PA.,
f uIDAY, - - - AUGUST 5, 1881.
The condition of the President has
Inprovci so steadily with each day since
Friday last, that his physicians now do
nit entertain any serious doubts as to
ultimate recovery.
Chairman Dill has called for a meet
rig of the State Democratic Committee
Bolton's Hotel, Harrisbnrr , at 12 M.
-,n Wednesday, August 10th, to deter
minfl upon a time and place for holding
.he next State convention. 'A full at
tendance of the members of the Com
mittee is requested.
The Legislature adjourned on the 9th
of June, and on last Friday, just fifty
days afterward, we received fifteen cop
ies of the Legislative Record, bringing up
the procedingB.of the two houses to with
in a few hours of their final adjourn
ment. The Jiccord costs the State about
twenty thousand dollars every session,
and althoughjitis the most glaring of al!
ths shameless frauds of legislative ori
gin,the robbery is permitted to go on ses
sion after session, without the slightest
attempt to stop it. The Record hence
forth should be a thing of the past.
A great many people think that Dan
"lice is dead, but he isn't by a large ma
jority, as he was alive and well in the
ity of Erie ouly a few days aeo, where
he exhibited his show known .is Dan
Rice's Aggregation of Animal Curiosi
ties and Wonderful Colossal Combina
tion of Circus Talent, ' together with a
good deal more of the same sort. A
newspaper reporter who interviewed the
Id veteran found him to be the same
o'd Dan that he was in the palmiest days
of his prosperity, when he was a candi
date for the Presidency, with a joke and
a hearty laugh for everybody and every
thing. Tas Irish Land Bill finally passed the
House of Commons on last Friday night
and i3 now in the House of Lord It is
believed that no attempt will be made in
that body to amend the bill in any Im
portant particular, but that it will be
pushed through as rapidly as possible.
As to the bill Itself, the Irish landlords
protest that they have teen sacrificed on
the altar of English radicalism, and de
clars that they will not take skies with
their Epjlh brethern when a similar
measure, or one that is even more rigor
ous. i. introduced into Parliament to ap
pease the pr pular cry against the iniqui
ties of the present English land system.
Governor Critten Drcx,of Missouri,
in a recent conversation with a St. Louis
spaper reporter, stated that when
h '.vus in "Washington some time ago,
nl when the late Judge Clifford was in
trw- enjoyment of his usual health he
Judp: C.) told him that he had prepar
cl a complete a" J detailed hiatory of the
; toceedings of theEIectoralCommission,
of which ho was a member, and that it
"ould be published after hi3 death, un
.?ssbis wife, who is the custodian of the
uauuscript, should otherwise decide.
1 1 Mrs. Clifford wili give this document
he country it will be "mighty inter-
c :ing reading," so far as the "true in- j
vardness" of Judge Bradley, of New
"ersev, another member of the Commis
ion, is concerned.
Rev. Thomas Farrell, for many j
years pastor of St. Joscph'sjchuich, iu
New York, died July 2)th, and j
the monument provided for in his will
iitis been completed and erected over his
grp.vtimid will soon be unveiled with ap
propriate ceremonies. Under the dates
of his birth and death is inscribed, as
directed by Father Farrell's will, the
following exhortation : "I beseech you
to love libtTly, and, above all, intelli
gence 'and try to extend their blessings
to every member of the human family.
Hate tyranny, oppression wrong and suf
fering ; but, above all, hate ignorance,
the fruitful parent of evil to the human
family." This good priest could not have
'-ft a richer legacy to his admiring and
devoted congregation than is contained
iu these few eloquent and patriotic
words.

So rkstectable a paper as the Har
risburg Patriot ventured iu its last Mon
day's issue to say "Should the deci
sion of the Dauphin county Court in the
legislative salary matter be affirmed by
the Supreme Court, the next Legislature
will pass a bill fixing the salary of mem
bers at f 1,600. Stick a pin here." Of
ceurse the Legislature could do what the
Patriot predicts it will do, provided it
has the necessary amount of cheek, but
we hardly think it will be inclined toat
tarnpt the experiment. This salary
question and fiv months' sessions of the
Legislature, with a very poor harvest as
the outcome, are dow pretty thoroughly
liadsrstood by the people, and they are
in no humor to tolerate any extra legis
lative ray such as the Patriot endorses.
At ail events a bill passed iu 1883 fixing
the salary at the sum named could not
0 into effect until the Legislature would
meet Iu 1SJS5, and a Legislature pledged
to repeal the grab would be elected in
l.?S4. At least that is the view we take
-f the matter.
The downfall of Roscoe Conkling, al.
hough it iuay be, rrova to only fr a
is a fatal blow to the third-ter m
tensions of his political idol, U. S.
r,rant. Conklinif was the brains, the
,.ad r.ud front of the movement, and to
iro, more than any other man, or num
r of men, that dangerous and anti-
Aii.ericandoctrineowesitsorigin. There
ever v:as so Lold and fraudulent an t
t pt made in this country to misrepre-
nt the will of a political party as was
;,..vle by Cameron in this Sta'.e in Feb-
--.iry, 1?0, and by Conkllng in hew
'Vrka short time afterwards, to pack
Chicago convention with solid third
delegiticns from the two largest
?Uts in the Union. If the scheme had
been wholly instead of only about half
anccessful, Conkllng would have be)n
:preme master of the Chicago conven
Hon and Grant would have been nomi
nated. With the fall of Conkllng, we
repeat, the third-term heresy falls, and
Tith it Graut disappears as a Presiden
tial" candidate for a'.l tiiae to come.
WunocT attempting to discuss th
coustitutionality or unconstitutionality
of the ten dollar per diem clause in the
legislative salary act of 1874, there ia
one fact connected with its passage that
deserves special aotice. The session of
1874 was the first one held after the adop
tion of the new constitution in 1873.
James .S Rutan, of Beaver county, wa
then a member of the State Senate, and
last winter, when Attorney General Fal
mer took ground in a written opinion
against the constitutionality of the
clause referred to. If r. Rutan stated to
a representative of the Pittsbur Post
that he himself framed the salary bill
while serving in the Senate in 1874
that it was found to be impossible to
complete the work of the session within
the one hundred days, owing entirely to
the fact thdt the constitution required
the enactment of a great many impor
tant laws at that session to enforce it3
provisions that it would have been im
possible to keep the members at Har
risburg if they were not paid for the ex
tra lime, and that the bill was drawn up
and passed expressly to meet that emer
gency. Mr. Rutan further said that no
one expected any subsequent session
would exceed one hundred days, and
that, therefoie, the bill was not limited
to that session alone, himself aud the
other members believing that public
opinion would be so strong against long
sessions that the Legislature would not
exceed one hundred dajs, for which a
salary of oue thousand dollars was pro
vided. Here then we have the plain
and emphatic statement of the author of
the salary bill as to his meaning and in
tention when he wrote it, and what the
Legislature meant when it passed it.
The only thing for which so experienced
a member as Mr. Rutan can be censur
ed is, that he didn't add a proviso to the
section limiting its application to that
particular session and even embracing
the succeeding session, so as adequately
to pay the members for the extra time
consumed in enacting laws to carry out
the provisions of the constitution. If he
had done so it would have simplified the
matter amazingly.
The State treasury was wilfully im
posed upon at the last session of the
Legislature by the men who procured
the passage of the bill appropriating J220.
000 for the annual maintenance of the
National Guard, and the Guard hasbeea
outrageously swindled siuce by reducing
the number of its brigades from fie to
three. When the bill was before the
House several members stood up in
their places and pledged their lives, their
fortunes and their sacred honors that
$220,000 would be sufficient to keep up
and pay all the expenses of the organiza
tion as It then existed, and that they
had the authority of the Adjutant Gen
eral for saying so. All this meant fii t
brigades, and the bill passed, but no
sooner did the Legislature adjourn than
Hirtranft, who is Major General, Latta,
the Adiutant General, and the other i
rr.mt r,e .t; ,f
at work to reduce, and actually have re
duced, the five brigades down to three.
It is as plain as the nose on a man's face
that if 220,000 was sufficient to main
tain five brigades, it is just $88,000, ac
cording to the plain rules of arithmetic,
more than enough to keep up and main
tain three brigades. Latta will of course
be entitled to draw out of the State
treasury the whole of the appropriation
for the three brigades, and any man who
thinks he won't do it don't know Latta;
and it will then be the business of the
Legislature, at its next regular session
in ltS3, to find out how the grab of f?8,
000 was expended, and into whose pock
ets it found its way.
John I. Mitchell, the noble col
league ot that other noble representative
of Pennsylvania in the U. S. Senate, i
Don Cameron, has written a letter to J.
Ambler Smith, of "Washington, in which
he indorses Mahor.e and his repudiation
brigands in the political contest now go
ing on in Virginia. In thus aiding and
abetting the vile and robber doctrine of
repudiating the sacred obligations of a
State, Mitchell conceals his purpose un
der the thin veil of assumed devotion to
free schools, fair elections and just
laws." As to "free schools," Mitchell
knows as well as any man that one of
Mahone's publicly avowed purposes is
the repeal of the poll-tax as a suffrage
qualification, that tax being the chief
revenue or fund set apart for the free
schools for the equal enjoyment of both
blacks and whites. And as regards "fair
elections" and ' just laws," when have
the colored people of Virginia ever com
plained that their right to vote was not
precisely the same as the right of white
men, or that the laws of the State don't
alike govern white men and black? It
is a disgrace to Pennsylvania to have
twodemagogues In the Senate like Cam
eron and Mitchell, who, when honest
men in Vl'giuia, Republicans as well as
Democrats, ere engaged in a death strug
gle, as it were, for the finaucial honor
of the State, will stoop so low for politi
cal purposes as te throw the weight of
their official influence in favor of the suc
cess of a political pirate like Mahone.
John C. Bcrch, of Tennessee, Secre
tarv of the U. S. Senate, who will be
gratefully remembered for his courteous
conduct ty those members of the Penn
sylvania, Ohio and "West Virginia Press
Association who visited Nasbvi'.le while
on a pleasure trip nearly three years ago
to the Mammoth Cave In Kentucky, and
who cannot but regret his untimely de
mise, died at "Washington on Thursday
of last week. His death will, of course,
render necessary the election of a new
Secretary when the Senate meets in De
cember. Mabone's candidate at the late
special seeMon, George C. Gorbam, is
said to be preparing to make another con
test for the place.but bis bitter denuncia
tion of the President, up to the day be
was shot, through the columns of the pa
per be edits in Washington, are not cal
culated to enhance the prospects of bis
success.
The Kentucky election took place on
Monday last. 2fo 6tate officers were to
be chosen, but a Legislature was elected
which will return James B. Beck to the
TJ. 6. Senate. He is a very able man
and enjoys a high reputation in the ten
ate, second only to that of Thomas F.
Bayard.
THE EFFECT OF IT.
The Chica-o Times, which has a ma
nia for breaking up political parties, baa
been Interviewing a grant number of
representative men of all parties and
shades of political opinion as to wheth
er the attempted assassination of the
President wrought any marked change
in political feeling. Several other ques
tions were also propounded, but they
were of minor Importance. It is the al
most unanimous verdict of the entire
country that the shooting of the Presi
dent has not produced any marked
change in the attitude of parties, fur
ther than to soften the sensibilities of
partisan strife and in a measure harmon
ize the conflicting elements of the Re
publican party. The rpplv of ex-Governor
Sevmour to the Times is the best
tempered and more nearly reflects the
general opinion of the country than any
other. Governor Seymour says :
1 do not think that the attaolt on tbe Pres
ident has made anv marked change In polit
ical feeling, except, perhaps, tosoften them.
It has without doubt mailn with Democrats a
more kindly feeling; toward the President.
What the future may be no one part foresee.
If, in ease of his restoration to health. Pres
ident Garfield should show a stronz parti
san feeling It would make a reaction against
him. Extreme vmrtisanship would lie felt to
be an ungrateful return for the interest
shown by all parties and aM section in his
recovery. I do not think that the question
of administrative arrangement has occupied
much of the public mind, nor do I think that
St has brought out any well-worked plan for
guarding against this danger to the public
from the attempts to murder officials. The
perils which surround high positions mav
tend to check ambition to hold them, and to
sober the passion for nlace and power. It is
hard to foresee the effects of the Albany con
tent upon the action of parties. Them are
so frequently modified bv carnal events that
It is difficult to forecast the effort of anv par
ticular action. It has encouraged the Dem
ocratic party, because t has not been drawn
Into the contest or made responsible for any
of the acts of the legislature that hare of
fended. I do not think that there are anv In
dications of any great modification In politi
cal parties.
The Times itself gives this view of
the situation in New York :
When Conklingtost his crown and his head
Ms Influence seems to have gone with It, and
the power of fate personality Is little feared.
Outside of New Tork the belief Is very gen
erally expressed that his disappearance from
the arna, if he has disappeared, has left no
Impress that will be felt In national politics,
and not enough te speak of in local New
Tork polities. Democrats art sanguine that
the dethroned chief will be the disturbing
element in the Republican party which will
result In a Democratic vlctorv in New Tork,
and an eventual Bourbon triumph at the
next general election. This is all Idle spec
ulation, however, for the reason that o one
yet knows or protends to know what the ex
Senator proposes te do, and much depend
on that.
The Half Breed organs may sneer as
they please at Roscoe, but beneath all
their sneers is plainly seen evidence of
fear for his political powers. He is a
man who never deserts those who do his
bidding; and he has avowed that n the
"near future" his "Spartan band" will
be rewarded. Conklinsr is down now,
hut we doubt if the. Half Breeds can
keep him down. Pittsburg Post.
Fkhn's Boot. The proposal to bring
the ahes of Wlillam Penn from England
and deposit them within the limits of the
great Commonwealth which he founded wn
a very natural ;one, and it is a pity it cannot
be done. There are those who consider
Penn the greatest man who ever set foot on
this continent. The work which Penn did
in England doulitls appeared to him at. the
time far more important than that which he
did on this side. Even had he been ab'e to
forsee the futnrn magnitude of the State
whose
foundations he was l.iv'ng in the
wilderness of America. It would vet hare
been In Ms eves but a small object compared
',th tht 'wee and perfect religions tolera-
tended there. For this he wrote, snoVe, and
suffered in body and estate ; and the most j
Mimv 01 ins ure Bnn remains win
show that be wrotf- rnd spoke with learning
and ahilitv. and that he snfTVred with the
pions fortitude of a true martyr.
If he Mingled much in a corrupt Court,
and took nn important, pnrt In various great
affairs, he used bis Influence always to re
lieve those in distress, to help forward the
sacred cause of relieious liberty for the r.ro
fessors of all opinions and to save the King
from some foolish and from some brntal er
rors, while his own character remained abso
lutely stainless. But his noh'est work was
that which be did In the Province of Penn
sylvania, where as statesman and lawrvr
he put Into the framework of the freest State
then on the enrt!i the advanced doctrines
which he preached toothers. The possession
of power never for a moment blinded his
clear judgment ad no temntntion over
turned him aside from his original nurpos
of granting tn all nien the snme liberty of
consclencp which he claimed for himself.
The State, f-onndnd in Christian peace,
grew and flourished In that peace Its com
pact with all its iieighbors. civilized and
savaue. were sacredly kept, and the "blood
of war." which flowed frcelv In everv other
part of the -continent, was never slied within
Its borders while the Penns controlled its
councils. The history of Pennsylvania for
about one hundred years is the noblest
practical triumph of Christianity that we
know anvthincr ahont. That great Com
monwealth is Penn's monument, and his
mortal remains should not oe separated from

containing a clock arrangement. After run
ning six hours the clock liberates a hammer
that strikes a nlpple"and explodes a percus

c;ood row Martlisd.-The State In
surance Commissioner of Maryland, Jesse
K. Hlnes, is determined to stop the specu
lative insurance business in that State, and
has sent formal notices to the speculative in
surance companies doing business to the ef
fect that hereafter all parties Issuing or
cansing to be issued policies of Insurance on
persons for speculative purposes will be in
dicted. He says he Intends to devote all
the energies of his department in stamping
nut the abuse, and would pay special at
tention to the agents of the various Pennsyl
vania companies doing business In Mary
land. It is evident that the Commissioner
will make it decidedly warm for th parties
concerned, as h Is by law granted nnnxual
powers in connection with Insurance com
panies. Pore L.o's Encyclical Letter, Issued on
the 39th of Jane, two days befon the scoot
ing: of President Garfield, treats of recent
attempts on the lives of sovereigns and de
clares any man peculiarly and atrociously
guilty who will take the life ft the chief
ruler of a nation. The Pope declares that
the precepts of Christ are eminently fitted to
comprise both those who obey and those
who command and to produce between the
two sections of the community that unity of
purpose which engenders public tranquillity.
