Ax article in another column from
the rhiki'lelphiii E cni,g Telegraph, an
ably edited independent Republican pa
Ier, presents a truthful picture of the
factional contest in the Republican
party that is rapidly developing itseif,
and which promises in the near future
to he the crouching lion in Mr. Arthur's
path.
Beweex J)eceruier 1, 10, and De
cember 1, 1S-S1, the number of Irish im
migrants who arrived at New York was
C2,40t, and the number ef Germans 188,
2"25. This exodus from Germany is en
ormous, anu it isn't much wonder that
IJismark is badly frightened at the ex
haustive drain his country is Buffering
by the great Republic of the West.
The trial of Guiteau drags its slow
length along and is now in its seventh
week, having commenced ou the 14th of
November. It seems to be a great
waste of time on such a phenomenal vil
lain as Guiteau has shown himself to be
during the whole of the trial, but the
good sense of the country, will, we
think, justify Judge Cox in according
the prisoner the fullest latitude in mak
ing out his defense. The trial will not
be concluded before the last of next
week, and may possibly extend into the
week following.

TnE prospectus for 1882 of the Ilar
risburg Patriot, the organ of the Dem
ocracy at the seat of the State govern

that the Patriot has always been a con

Democratic party, its measures and its
public men, and that it deserves the
fullest confidence and support. The

The palm for beauty at Washington
this winter is said to be carried off by
Mrs. Moore, the wife of William R.
Moore, Congressman from the Memphis
(Tenn.) district. Let us see now what
kind of a man Moore himself is.IIe is
a Republican and a new member, and
by a niostjsingular freak ofjpolitical for
tune he defeated Casey Young, his pre
decessor, at the election a year ago last
November. It takes a welljequipped
member of Congress a good while to es
tablish his reputation for aptness and
ability, but Moore achieved greatness
and bounded to the first place in the
front rank of orators and statesman on
the very first day of the session. While
the roll of members were being called
in order that they might be sworn'in by
the Speaker, and when the State of
Mississippi was reached, Moore march
ed down the aisle in front of the Speak
er and in a highly dramatic style deliv
ered himself as follows ;
'In the interests of justice, in the inter
ests of common fairness, in the interests of
good government and the civilization of the
nineteenth century, f respectfully and sol
emnlv protest in the name of the American
peopfe against the administration of the oath
of office to the Hon. J. R. Chalmers, of the
sixth district of Mississippi, to a seat in the
FortvSeventhCongressof theUnited States."
This outburst of genuine, impassion
ed eloquence, which Moore no doubt
supposed would bring down the House
and make him famous for all time to
come, only provoked a long continued
shout of derisive laughter from the as
tonished members, as well as from the
vast throng of spectators in the galler
ies. Moore's turn was now to come
and a dose of his own medicine was
about to be administe.ed to him. When
she State of Tennessee was aflerwards
called, General Bragg, a Democratic
member from Wisconsin, and also a
very great wag, rose to the height of
the solemn occasion, and admirably
mimicing the style and manner of the
"gentleman from Tennessee", said .-
"In the name of humanity, in the name of
the civilization of the nineteenth century, on
behalf of the American ppople who love Rood
order and expect to see a postmaster appoin
ted rrom icnnessee luinu tne duties of his
j office ; in the memory of the name of Casey
j Younp (Moore's predecessor), I do most
earnestly object to the taking of the oath by
William R. Moore, of Tennesse."
j This was something that Moore had
i not bargained for something that fell
i upon him like a sharp clap of thunder
! from a cloudless sky and under the
perfect storm of applause which greeted
General Uragg, the member from the
Memphis district, feeling no interest in
the subsequent proceedings, quietly dis
appeared, having fully and beyond all
controversy established his claim to the
honor of being the champion fool in the
present Congress.

the two Democratic caucuses on Mon

and although all the remaining Demo

inations, they could not elect them at
the meeting of the two houses on Tues

business can be transacted, but the
House can do nothing until a Speaker is
chosen. The demands of the Kelly

they would enter the caucus were so
sweeping as to cause their certain rejec

be broken remains to be seen.

A MERRT CHRISTMAS.
It is impossible to resist the influence of a
Christmas the day that means so much, the
day on which our Lord and Saviour made
Irs way to a spiritual empire the day on
which fell the full light of the glory of the
conquest of the cross. The cross, the em
blem of a disgraceful and cruel death, has
become the symbol ot man's best and high
est hopes. Each year the feast ot Christmas
seems to bring a wider and still moie widen
ing circle within its blessed influence.
Christmas awakens a tender sentiment, a
human sympathy, that sanctifies it even to
those who have little heart to take part in
holiday merrv-making. Though Christmas
comes to me in my older days with less of
eager anticipations than in my voungei days,
and while I bail it with much less of simple
pleasure and with more of pathos and of
sorrow, yet the more does it awaken in me
a tender sentiment of human sympathy a
sympathy that sanctifies-the day even tho'
I take no pait in the merry-making. Christ
mas this time was madfi doubly enjovable by
the mild weather. The observance "on Sun

indulged itself freely. The juvenile horn,

have been the terror of the past. Monday

I P.ench. The capture of the Senate and ;
1 House of Representatives were real sub- 1
! stantia! victories. Even the llarfield State !
was captured and reconstructed on a Stal

progressive independent politics, did not

who had refused to side with Messrs. Arthur, I

j and Blaine, tli "Plumed Knight," was re
i tired to obscurity to give place to Frevling
, huysen, the (irant Stalwart. All of Gar
field's Cabinet has gone by the board. In
less than three months after Garfield was i

of the Government. The sweep in the Post .
Office Department is a clean one, and the I

who change election returns to the place
where they eau do the most good the
penitentiary the notorious Dave Mon
.t, who was one of Cameron's third
term delegates to the Chicago Conven
tion, being among the list of unfortu
nates. This result is due to the fact
that Philadelphia Jias a District Attor
ney who has the courage to discharge
his duty, and also to the fact that mea
who attempt to set aside the verdict of
the ballot-box will be severely dealt
with when they come before so fearless
a Judge as Craig. Uiddle. These con
victions create a well founded belief
that the time has at last arrived when
an honest election can be held even in
Philadelphia. The following extract
fromhe report of Mouat's trial is par
ticularly interesting, the "Mr. Ker,"
mentioned being a leading Democratic
politician, as well as a late assistant
District Attorney, and acting a Mouat
counsel, "Mr. Lane," the witness, is a
well lcnown Republican leader and
knows all about how elections are con
duced in the city of "Brotherly Love."
Here is the extract :
""Mr. Lane," said Mr. Ker, "as you are an
experienced politician I wish you would state
whether it'is not customary for election offi
rers to invite outsiders into the polls to as
sist in making up the leults."
"Has it not been customary to violate the
lection laws ?" said Judge Biddle sharply
to the counsel for the defense. "Is that
what you mean, sir? You might just as well
ask a man if it is customary in Philadelphia
to commit larceny."
"I wish to ask the witness if this cu torn
"If there is any such custom," broke in
the Jiiilce, "it is a violation of law and im
material in tnis case."
"Then vour Honor rules that way ?"
"I do, niot decidedly."
"What a disgusting spectacle it is to
seee the Governor of a State hanging
around Washington, week in, week out,
for the purpose of controlling Federal
patronage in behalf of his office-seeking
friends. Gov. Poster, of Ohio, is a man
of that sort. When Hayes was acting
as President, Foster bad immense influ
ence with him, and during the last j'ear.
of his seemingly honest, but, as the fle

his time at Washington, engaged in all
manner of intrigue in reference to Ohio
THE CONTrNESTAI. INDEPENDENTS.
The leform-within-tlie-party 'Continental'
. Independents are not making much head
, way. It is real independence that is bother
j ing them, and they have not yet fully re-
; soivea to ne independent, i bey are holding
! confidential conferences and issuing nd-
1 dresses to the people, but issuing addresses
; is very harmless pastime, and bosses are
! not in fear of addresses. They read declar
j ations of the Continental King of independ
; ent addiesses with ealm satisfaction. The
! reforin-within-the-party independents are
; far more independent with the tongue than
' with the ballot, and they will find out that
' the ballot is migiitier than the tongue. The
J reforni-within-the-party independents are
' the great humorists of the day. Everybody
j laughs at their jokes.

Fame is capital to a man. and tumc. is keep
ing the Guiteau trial alive and kicking. This
is the -21 of January, six full months since
Garfield was shot, and Guiteau not hanged ;
yet. At fVrst nothing but ttwats were re
ceived by the assassin: but now he receives
letters of condolence at-rt enclosures of mo
ney. If Guiteau had as much money as the '
Government he could beat it oirt of counte- I
nance: bnt the Government fo,s-a:i the bills '
on both sirtVa of the case, and-sw Ion" as the
Government does that, so lon will lawyers, '
doctors and experts keep the thing going I
Opportunities are said to make men. Gui- 1
teau made his own opportunity, and with it
maoe the opportunity of many others. He
made opportunities for doctors and lawyers
first for the doctors then for the lawyers
and next for the experts. The Guiteau is a. '
grand combination ease for all three, and :
I reiterate that if Guiteau escapes the hang
man it will be bf cause of the lawyers, doo
tors and experts. Law is a big thing, medi- !
cine is a big thing, and sciance is a big thing. ,
These tbree big things have all taken hold of
the assassin Guiteau, land their bold can only
be broken by some more accurate Mason,
some more careful Jones, or some more cour
ageous McCill. The doetois first pounced ,
upon tlu case and fougbt and scratched until
the unfortunate victim died, and now they
are at it fighting over-the spoils, bub they 1
must wait until the lawyers and experts get
through, and lawyers never let en while there.
ncj. is mcirey in a case, ijeatli has-no quieting
mnntmre on gentlemen of tin bar. The pb- I
lie m-ist not get impatient but wait until '
the lawyers get through. The Od of July,
1S2, may come and Guiteau not be hange!. '
The Government has a deep pocket, a-nd as
long as lawyers, doctors and scientists ean i
rea it Guiteau will not be dispose of.
Guiteau fired bis fatal shot on the 2d ef Juiy,

Arthur is President, Garfield forgotten, and
Guiteau not handed. Gv N. S. I
has Offended the Democrt in n linilv an,t
also the Garfield Republicans. Not only do
they represent every species of jobbing and
extravagance, but the chances are many that
they will make so bad a record before the
first sessi,..; closes as to give the opponents
of the administration all the ammunition
they need to blow it to pieoes. In this fac
tional fight what is to become of the"party?
That should be considered before -the old
quarrel is renewed and the breach becomes
too wide for the Stalwarts, or their oppo
nents, to close or overleap. What is the use
of Arthur or Blaine fighting for the empty
honor of a nomination if, bv dividing the
party, thev are going to give the next presi
dent to the Democrats at the polls?.' To set
np a convention is ea?y enough, but to carry
a national election is more than difficult
enough. In the interests of party success, '
why does it not suggest itself to the two '
great contestants to agree to the tossing up a

WHO SHALL THEY BE ?
Now that it is known to be a certainty that
General Beaver received the Republican
appointments. He followed up his low i now he appears as a churchman
business for a Governor during the four
months that Garfield was able to dis
charge his duties as President, and
when he died and Chester A. Arthur
succeeded him, Foster was promptly on
hand to see that no Ohio man who had
been a campaign worker for him, should
be invited to take a back seat, although
he knew that Arthur and the men by
whom he was surrounded despised him
and all his picayune political ways. Tom
Young, who represents one of the Cin
cinati districts in Congress, and who is
a prsMy rough sort of a customer"and
has always been a Grant man, conclud
ed at the opening of Congress that it
was about time for Foster to take a rest,
and that he himself would not only as
sume the responsibility of running all
the Ohio appointments, but take upon

Gev3. Whoever you are, I don't know
but I tlwnk the Ixrd and feel grateful to
you to know that in this world ot adultera
ted medicines there is one compound that
proves and does all it advertises to do, aid
more. Four years ago I had a slight shock
of palsy, which unnerved me to such an ex
tent that the least excitement would make
me shake like the ague. Last May I was in
duced to try Hop Bitters. I used one bottle,
but did not see any change : another did so
change my nerves that they are now as steady
as they ever were.
It used to take both hands to write, but
now my good right hand writes this. Now,
if you continue to manufacture as honest
and as good an article as you do, you will

A few years ago, Mary Craddock, a lit
tle daughter of Mr. James Craddock, of Mys-
I tic, Conn... lost ner eyesight during a pro-
tracted illness. The child was treated un- '
successfully by local physicians. A few '
I weeks ago. Craddock procured some raor- ;
tar frora the famous. Chapel of Knock, in i
! County Mayo. Ireland. Thf Cement was '
j dissolved in holy watr, and the solution was !
applied to the eyes- of the brind girl. The
patient also drank at morning and night of
the remedy. Before a week had passed the
girl began to see dimlv, and before the end
of tfce second week she hint fully regained
her sight. The cure has created much ex
citement in Mystic, and many persons have
visited the Crartdock fatuity to see the child.
A terrible accident occurred on the F. R.
R. a week ag last nisrht, near Christiana,
Lancaster contv, caused by the engine of a
western bound freight train"runnlng into the
ear end of another freight train, while the
latter was moving slowly through a deep
cut. The engin of the hindmost train was
thrown from the track and badly broken, as
well as several of the cars of both trains, the
debres completely blocking both tracks
Jnst about the time of the accident the en
gine of a train going rushed along, and
before it could be flagged, ran into the
wreck of the two other trains. The wreck
took fire, which raged all night, destroying
an immense amount of property. The en
gineer and fireman of one of the engines
weie fatally scalded by the escaping steam
and a brakeman was buried bneath the
cars and burned to death.
While John McCleary, in the employ of
the Roberts Company, was torpedoing a
well near Haymaker, in Bradford countv on
Tuesday of last week the well made a "flow
of oil and threw the torpedo out, causing an
explosion of 48 .pounds of nitro glycerine.
McCleary started to run as soon as he dis
covered that the well was about to flow. His j
coat tails was cut off as smoothly as though !
cut by a tailor. His back. thich nr. iimh. ,
i were lacerated by flying bits of stone, wood
. and tin. He was thrown about loo feft n,i
jumped up and continued running, when he
fell from fatieue and frirht. Vn hnnm
broken and phvsician thought at the time he
would be about again in a fortnight. His
escape from death was the most remarkable
in the oil regions. The derriek was reduced
to splinters and windows broken in a house
half a mile away.
