The "Pmi-ADELriiiA Times Alma
k acm fr 1 is an improwuient even
upon the edition of last year, and is full
to repletion with the most useful and
reliable information. As a book of ref

Thomas Jefferson said ; "The art
of government consists in the art of be

President he practically enforced this
sound political maxim in all its length

A very disastrous fire occurred in
2sew York on Ia.ct Tuesday, totally de
stroying a five story building containing
the Gflices of the New York Observer,
Scientist American and Turf, Field and
Fnrm, together with several other iit
lication oflices. as well as business offices
on the different door?, occupied for va
rious purposes. The Ner Yoik Times
bui'diur;, which adjoined the one de
stroyed, was d.-.maged to the extent of
$3,U0. The total los is estimated at
$r,i mx). Three of the employes in the
building died from injuries received by
jumping from windows, and seven other

The death of Hon. John Cresswell,
of Ilollidaysburg, which occurred on
last Sunday, will bo learned with feel
ings of sincere regret by every one who
knew him. Ilis health had been feeble
for a considerable time past, and his
dentli was nt therefore a sudden or un
locked for event. He was a most gen
er'Mi? hearted man and had troops of rie
voted friendj. As a lawyer he occupied
s high rank among the members of the
Blair county bur, and was regarded as
one of its best advocates. In 1333 he
was elected t the State Senate from
this district, and was re-elected in 133G,
bis opponent being tha late Alex. C.
MuI'iti, n a citizen of this place, lie
was elected President pro tern of the
Senate before it. adjourned in 1339, the
last year of his term, and was succeeded
in office by Louis AV. II,1!. We do not
know his age, but pappose he was about
ixty-uve, Peacs to his ashes.
It is a very handy thing, and can al
ways be mai to pay, to be professsion
al'y employed by the rational eovern
rcer.t. "Wn:. A. Cook and A. M. Gib
son, both of Washington, but the first
named of whom commenced his career
many years as an attorney at the
Greeusburg, "Westmoreland county, bar,
and the second, w ho hails w e think from
Fayette county, this State, havebeeo in
t!lo empW rf the Postofficr Department,
fcr some time, in feneting out frauds
lu the Star route cases and preparing
them for trial. Last week they each
presented a bill against tne proverument
claiming for his Services up to that time
the sum of $7,500. Of course they re
ceived their money, or will receive it,
and then Cook (Gibson having since
been retired from the business by Post
master General Howe) will take a fresh
st Art and win up with another rai 1 on
the public treasury. If the Greens
burg Argus knows anything about Cook
and we think it knows a good deal, his
reputation for honesty in Westmoreland
county is not an enviable one. That
paper in referring t; Cook's little bill,
says, among other things, that, it is suf
ficiently larg "to eL.atl2 him to meet
liW creditors like an honest man, instead
of being obliged to remain in exile to
enCipe them."
Don Camekojj's reputation for ver
acity seems to be considerably below
par among the leading Republican pol
iticians cf Allegheny county. It is not
much over a month aince Congressman
Biyn, of that county, publicly denounc
ed Cameron as "a liar," the basis of the
charfr being certain violated promises
male by Cameron to Bayne, in refer
ence to the appointment of a postmas
ter a McKeesport. Mr. Bayne not
only UM'li the accusation, but he proved
ed it. At least that appeared to be the
popular verdict. And now Tom Davis,
editor of the WeUh paper published in

The present State of Texas embraces
a territory six times as large as the ter
ritory of the State of New York, and by
the census of 18S0 had a population of
more than a million and a half. Under
the act of Congress of 1S45, admitting
Texas into the Union, it was stipulated
that four more Slates might be carved
out of her territory with the consent of
her people. Assuming, therefore, that
it van given, each of the four new
States would contain a territory, 7,000
square miles greater than the great state
of New York, and a population more
than twice as large as that of all the four
States of Kansas, "Nevada, Nebraska
and Colorado at the date of their respec
tive admissions into the Union, com
mencing with" Kansas in 1SG1 and end
ing with Colorado in 1375. That Texas
has an undoubted legal right to this di
vision is not denied by any one, the pro
priety of having it done and the time
when to do it resting entirely with the
people of the State. "What would the
Republicans who admitted "Nevada in
1S74 with a population of only 6,8o7, or
about one seventh of that of Cambria
county, say and do if four new States
were formed out of Texan territory and
knock at the door of Congress for ad
mission ? The question is easily answer
ed. They would oppose their admission
to the bitter end, simply because their
reception into the Union would give the
Democrats eight new Senators. They
intend, however, during the present
session, if the Democrats will allow
them to do so, to admit Dakota, for no
reason in the world except that they
will gain two Republican Senators if
the act should pass. If the Dsmocrats
in Congress fail to resort to all obstruc
tive methods to defeat this proposed
outrage they will be unworthy of the
seats they occupy.
It has been the custom for some years
past, a custom always honored in the
observance of the Lancaster Intelligencer
as soon as it has gone over the annual
report of the State Treasurer to expose
the thieving and robbery practiced on
the State in the matter of furnishing
supplies to the Legislature. The Free
man also has denounced the plundering
business on several occasions. The Lx
teilijenrtr, taking the late report of the
State Treasurer as its text, is again af
ter the thieves who fatten on public
money with a very sharp stick. To say
to what extent the State is robbed every
year that the Legislature niets by the
men who furnish these supplies, as well
as in other ways would be impossible,
but that it aggregates an enormous sum
is very evident. The same men, the no
torious Sam Adams, W, M. Gray, and
the "rest of us," furnish the supplies
year after year, and or course there is
no let up in the business of pilfering.
The Intelligencer deserves credit for its
tenacity in holding on to this plunder
ing gang and showing the taxpayers
how they are swindled. A new mem
ber of the State Senate last winter, Dr.
McKnight, of Jefferson county, became
so enamored with SiuuH's Legislative
Hand Book, that he proposed to put a
copy of it in the home of every family
in the Slate. It was a tig project, and
just as preposterous, but if a copy of the
State Treasurer's report could be put
into the ha-ids of evcy taxpayer in the
State he could tell what it costs to run
a session of the Legislature, and could
form some conception of the amount of
stealing ilutt is done by the big and lit
tle thieves.
There is a Judge Cox in Washing
ton whoso name has become familiar to
the country owing to the position he oc
cupied in relation to the trial of Guit
eau, and there id a Judge Cox in Minne
sota who is just now attracting a large
share of public aUeutiou in that State,
by reason of his being impeached and
on trial before the tate 8'nate for var
ious high crimes and misdemeanors. His
full name is Hon, E. St. Julien Cox. lie
is a Democrat and is President Judge of
the S'inth district ; and although the
district is strongly Republican he beat
liis opponent clean out of sight. How
he did it no one seems to know, but sim
ply answer when asked about it that
the district is largely composed of
Norwegians. Cox was drunk when he
wa3 elected and has literally been as
"drunk as a lord" ever since. When he
travels in the cars he carries a flask of
whiskey, from which he drinks direct
before a car-load of passengers, most of
whom know him. Cox might have re
signed and thus avoided conviction and
removal from office, but he wouldn't do
it, maintaining that he can't be im
peached except for treason, high crime,
or misdemeanor, !nd that he'll "be
damned if getting drunk is either trea
son, a high crime, or a misdemeanor,
the Minnesota Legislature to the con
trary notwithstanding." Ho will soon
know better. Two other JuJges in the
same State, both of whom are Republi
cans, are said to be ditto to Cox as large
atd healthy consumers of rot-gut, and
they are patiently waiting to find out
whether or not the Senate will endorse
the doctrine held by Cox, that chronic
drunkenness is not a good ground for
impeaching a Judge.
The trial of Guiteau, a3 we stated
in a postscript last yveek resulted in a
verdict ot guilty in manner and form as
he stood indicted. A motion was made
by his counsel, and brother-in-law, Mr.
Scoviile, for a ne.v trial, and the reason
in support of it were filed on Saturday
last. The icasons are quite formidable
so far as their number is concerned, and
the Court fixed to-day to hear the argu
ment for and against the motion. That
the motion will be overruled by the
Court does n--, we-tuiuk, admit of any
reasonable doubt. Xow that the trial
is over and the law vindicated by Guit
eau's conviction, Judge Cok has ceased
to be the object of an unlimited amount
of abuse and denunciation by that por
tion of the newspaper press of the coun
try w hic h could see nothing to commend
in his manner and method of ti3ing the
ea3c, but everything o condemn. If
Judge Cox is not a great, he is a patient
Judge, and it is inlh.itely better in a
Judgt to possess that virtue than to dis
play tlu indecent haste and vindictive
brutality of a, Jeffries. Judge Cox act
ed well his part under the ieculiar cir
cuinstunces m which he was placed, and
will io :-Ui!:i;ned by the calm and itn
passlonel jud-tin nt of the count iv.
The Verdict la the Galteaa Case.
The conclusion reached by the jury
that Guiteau was guilty of the murder
of the late President James A. Garfield,
is not only just but should have its bear
ing upon all future cases where the plea
of insanity is interposed to save the
criminal from the deserts of justice.
The charge of Judge Cox upon this
point was conclusive. He said to the
jury :
"If you find from the whole evidence that
at tlie time of the commission of the homi
cide the prisoner was laboring under such
defect of his reason that tie was incapable of
jnderst.indine what he was doing or of see
ing it was a wrong thinR to do for example,
if he were under an iusane delusion that the
Almighty had commanded him to do the act
then he was not in a responsible condition
of mind, but was an object of compassion
and should be acquitted. If, on the other
hand, you And he was under no insane de
lusion, but had possession of his faculties,
and had power to know his act was wrong,
and of his own free will he deliberately con
ceived the Idea and executed the homicide,
then, whether his motives were personal
vindictiveness, political animosity, desire to
avenge supposed political wrongs, or a mor
bid desire for notoriety, or if yon are unabie
to discover any motive at all, the act is sim
ply murder, and it is your duty to find a ver
dict of guilty as indicted ; or fafter a sug
gestion from Mr. Scoviile to that effect if
you find the prisoner is not guilty by reason
of insanity, it is your duty to say so."
In the mass of evidence given by phy
sicians upon the subject of insanity, it
was to be expected that they would dif
fer, and the jurymen be confused ; but
when a physician of Washington, known
to the jurymen, gave his opinion that
Guiteau was not insane, it had more
weight than all the testimony of the ex
pert of New York and elsewhere. The
question of sanity being settled the iury
had no difficulty to determine th guilt
of the assassin Indeed the part played
by Guiteau all through the trial was
against him. It disgusted every one
who took the trouble to read his blath
erings, and how much more it must
have disgusted those who were present
to witness his acting and hear his speech
es. The jurymen were only mortals,
and the short time they deliberated
showed they knew Gniteau too well to
let him off on the insanity pica. It was
his wickedness and not his foolishness
that convicted him.
JfAnoxE's Decline in Virginia.
Xo intelligent observer of political
events expected the Repudiation com
bination of placemen to last in Virgin
ia, but it was generally believed that it
might hold together long enough to di
vide spoils to be parted at the threshold j
of its power. It did manage to stick to
gether until Mahone whooped Riddle
berger into the Senate, but just then
the machine began to totterand it final
ly wrecked itself in attempting to de
feat Auditor Massey.
The control of the Senate has already
passed from the Mahone Repudiation
ists, even t the election of an anti-Repudiation
President of that body, and
there is a dead-lock in the election of a
successor to Massey. Nor does the work
of disintegration stop on the Massey is
sue. Riddleberger has been nagged and
pricked by the opposition until he deliv
ered a declaration of independence, and
he pretty clearly indicates that he will
run a party of his own when lie sits
down beside Mahone in the U. S. Sen
ate. With Gov. Cameron notoriously res
tive under the whip of RepudUror Ma
hone, and Senator lliddleberger threat
ening to swing off in a gang by himself,
it requires no special perspicacity to
foreshadow the early ebb of the muddy
tide of dishonor and shame and disgrace
that Mahone swept over Virginia. Cam
eron is young, able, ambit ions and brave
nnd he is Governor fur four years. He
is not likely to go down in the early
grave of Mahone Repudiation from
choice, and Riddleberger is just great
enough to believe himself too great to be
bossed by a declining master. Mahone
moves on as le has started, and he will
peddle out Stalwart postolhces and rev
enue commissions while Arthur reigns ;
but it is no wild guess that Cameron
and Riddleberger will cut loose from
Mahone and come to the front as Dem
ocratic leaders about lSl. Philadel
phia 2'imes.

Lawykk Scovii.i.e makes an appeal
to tbe American people for pecuniary
assistance to enable him to carry the
Guiteau case to the higher courts. If
he cannot obtain such assistance he de
clares he must abandon the case as he is
unable to pay it out of his own pocket.
It is not likely that his appeal will be
responded to in a liberal spirit. The
people of the United States believe that
Guiteau has had a fair trial and that his
counsel did all that could be expected of
them in his defense. There are those
that believe that Guiteau is of unsound
mind, but they also believe that the
jury be for? whom lie yvas tried were en
tire qualified to determine the ques
tion whether or not he yvas sane enough
at the time he assassinated the Presi
dent to be legally responsible for his
crime. It is therefore not likely that

OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER.
A SHORT COLD-SNAP GOING FOR SCALPS
ARTHUR'S SORROW CONVICTION OF GUI
TEAU INSURANCE AND DEATH THE FEB
RUARY BATTLE MEDALS FOR THE FAMOUS
303 DEAR OLD HANNIBAL.
Philadelphia, Jan. 31, 1882.
Regular CarretpondeDce of tbe Fmiatii.
Dear McriKE When my last letter was
written the unusually mild weather through
which wo were passing was sorely perplex
ing the nieteoroloeists. They were greatly
Fiuzzled to know whether tnere were too
ew or too many aun spots. Had the Gulf
stream o'er swept its ancient bounds, or
what could be the cause of such etherial
mildness in January? But the winter at
that time was not over, and they didn't an
ticipate the cold wave that was rapidly ap
proaching from the Northwest. In spite of
the late extraordinary mistake or the seasons
there were for several days fine prospects for
skating aud fair prospects for cr.eap ice next
summer. What a "'mighty onsartin" thing
is the weather. It is to be hoped the people
did not forget to feed the sparrows during
the cold snap. The wires tell me that Oscar
Wilde during the cold days was lecturing on
"Frozen Love." He, I suppose, indeed it is
evident, intended his "fiozen love" lecture
as a blow aimed directly at the ice cream
young men.
GOING FOR EDITORS AND SENATORS' SCALPS.
Jane Swisshelm goes for the sealp of th
editor of the Inter-Oeean in the following po
etic manner :
He's a creen'ry, epleen'ry,
Half and bctweenery
Half-breed and stalwart young man ;
A grassery, clov'ry.
Kind of all overy,
Pinks-sweei-wiliiams' young man.
I will here incidentaly remark that I sort o' i
like Auut Jane Swisshelm. She has all the J
instincts of a female patriot. She is one of
the first liberal ariters across the line to feel i
ashamed of (Grant's military greatness.
Besides Mrs. Swissheltu's pursuit after ed
itorial scalps, quite a number of strong
minded women are after senatorial scalps.
They have called a meeting at which able j
addresses will be delivered. Miss Stanton i
will reply to Senator Vest, Miss Anthony will j
attend to Senator Beck, Mrs. Gage to Senator
Bayard, and Miss Cozzens will comment on I
Senator Morgan's resolution in regard to the j
disfranchisement of women in Utah. There !
promises to be a lively time between short j
hair and short skirts on one side arid tight j
trousers and bob-tail coats on the other. If i
the waltz, I think I would prefer Miss Phoe- ;
be Cozzens as a partner. She is said to be !
prettv, plump and pert. If my esteemed le- !
gal friend K. L. Johnston's legs were in good j
waltzing condition, and he were invited to j
the fandanco, he would be most likely to en- ;
gage with Mrs. (.'age in the whirl. I must j
not forget to add that if my good friend j
John S. fihey, Esq., whose leirs are no doubt j
in a waltzing condition, were invited, he
would occupy a conspicuous place with Miss !
Anthony as his partner. j
MEDALS FOR THE FAMOUS 3lK. i
It is said that since the Stalwart leaders i
are giving medals tor the famous 3'K, Dorsey I
and Brady are presenting their editors with
some neat, though not gaudy, brass collars :
tied around their necks with red tape. !
What a happy thought it was of Senator j
Cameron to decorate the members of thi old i
guard with beautiful bronze medals. Those !
wlio are in prison will not enjoy their medals I
much, but all of them who are in office can !
wear each his pouud of bronze proudly, and !
bid the world to behold the reward of merit, i
Oh ! how it will cheer the heart of Mouat in I
prison to lea ru that a beautiful bronze medal
will be awaiting him when he gets out, to pin
to the lapel of his coat.
TKESIDENT ARTHUR'S SORROW.
President Arthur's sorrow for the death of
Garfield is intense. The stationery used for i
official correspondence at the Executive ;
Mansion slill has a broad black border. This ,
etiquette of Ailhur in leg.ild to official ;
mourning for tht man whose shoes he is now
filling shows how truly soirowful he feels, !
and how deeply and sincerely he mourns the
result of Guiteau's bullet. President Ar- :
thur wjshes to show a proper respect for liis ;
assassinated predecessor by not having any !
receptions at the official mansion until after '
six months' mourning. President Arthur ;
cannot divest his mind of the fact that a trag- j
edy occurred, and, in heartfelt sorrow, un- .
like all his predecessors, never sits when re- .
ceiving visitors, but walks the floor constant- '
I V. .No visitant has ever found him seated. !
Poor, sorrowful Arthur ! He is determined j
to show that his assassinated predecessor's
ollici.il residence shall not look as if no trag- !
edy liad occurred.
THE CONVICTION OF GUITEAU. (
No crime in modern times has met with '
more intense and unanimous condemnation i
throughout the civilized world, and no ciim- j
inal has ever been so general an object of '
popular detestation as President GarnV!d.'s I
assassin, Guiteau. A more thoroughly do- !
praved aud unworthy defendant never be- j
fore appeared at the bar ot justice. But few '
words of sympathy for him come from even j
the chronic sentimentalists who are ever j
ready to lift their voices in behalf of the !
most deperate and abandoned malefactors, i
While Guiteau was as little entltied to con- j
siderUion as any human being could be, he !
nevertheless enjoyed every immunity which
the Constitution guarantees. The verdict of j
guilty, at which the jury arrived alter a pe- i
nod of deliberation which could not have i
been much briefer without a seeming default i
oi umiuiy, win sausiy noioniy tne conscience
of the country but its intelligent judgment.
Every constitutional and legal right was ac
corded him, and it cannot be truthfully said
that the assassin of President Garfield has
not had an entirely fair and impartial trial.
Guiteau's case was a crucial test. It will re
dound to the honor of our jurisprudence t
that the niort scrupulous regard of the tradi- j
tional privileges ot persons accused of crime i
was observed in this extiaordinarv trial.
Ignoble and thoroughly debased as Guiteau
jS) ie i3 aH worthyof human consideration as
the principal men. who were benefited thro
his monstrous crini-. Mr. Scnville's arraign
nient of Messrs. Conkling, Piatt, Grant and
Arthur, with other Stalwarts, as the instiga
tors of the assassination of President Gar
field, through the effect which their open and
wicked antagonism to him produced unon
Guiteau's unbalanced mind, was a perfoi m-
ante whi"h none but a bold man would have i
undertaken, nowever honest he might have
been in the belief of the truth of his asser- ;
tions. A large majority of the people hon- I
estly believe that the men named by Mr. j
Scoviile, and others of that class, through ,
ineir words ana actions, caused Guiteau to
commit Hie crime of murdering the President.
There is strong and just reason for believing
that Guiteau s horrible deed was the out- i
growth of the wicked and unjustifiable wai !
of the Stalwarts waged against the President, j
Scoville's arraignment of the Stalwart crew .
headed by Grant and Arthur was a fearful '
but a correct one. Aside from the merits of
the point at issue, the argument had force,
and, moreover, was one he was hound to
present. It was ably and skillfully done.
He most mercilessly whipped the Staiwaits
in his artful, bold anil, it must be confessed,
legitimate appeal to the manhood of the
Garfield Republicans.
INSURANCE AND DEATiT.
The Mutual Insurance Company of New
York, claims to be carrying insurance to the
amount of over three hundred and forty mil
lions of dollars. In forty-three years of its
existence it hs paid out to its insured th
incomprehensible amount of one hundred a nd
sixty tlx millions of dollars. Of this vast sum
twelve millions and a half were paid in 18S1.
From this it appears that people are dying at
a lively rate. Scarcely a day passes but
what some friend's name appears under the
doleful head. "Died," and 1 presume from
this time on the old boys will be dying faster
than ever. Is it becaase I am growing old
that I notice this?
TWE FEBRUARY BATTLE.
To overthrow the Gas Trust power in Phil
adelphia it wiil be recessnry for the honest
people of the city to carry six wards in Feb
ruary. The great interest in the February
battle centres in the selection of the Select
f'ouncilnien and whether the Gas Trust will
be able to maintain its grip on that body.
There is some reason to believe that the Se
lect Councilman In the Fourth ward will
spell his name O'Donneil instead of McMul
len. Notwithstanding "Mully" is receiving
money and aid from the Gas Trust it is
thought it will not save him. The 'Squire is
at his old tricks, playing upon the sympathy
harp, but the young men of the party are
against him. The ward contests for select
Councilmen are extremely interesting. The
battle to overthrow the Gas Trust power will
be a evere one. The route of MeManus.
alias McManes, would be a great blessing for
the city.
DEAR OLD HANIslBAL.
J always thought and said that there was
a heap of outcome in Hannibal Hamlin, and
I am delighted to learn that my anticipations
and predictions have been verified. The
pleasing intel licence has been received that
the old gentleman has already so far adapted
himself to the conventionalities of the Span
ish Court that he can dance the fandango to
the senuous music of the lute as skillfully ai
the most accomplished Don in Madrid. I al
ways felt confident that there was great out
come in Hannibal, and was surprised that
more extended public notice had not been
given by the presa of this old gQtlcman'i
value. It was nothing but the innate mod
esty of Hannibal which hindered his great
virtues from being more generally made
known. Knowing Hannibal by reputation
from boyhood. I take great pleasure in re
calling a career that is singularly harmonious
throughout. For upwards of fifty years
Hannibal has not been out of office. 1 feel,
if I had time, like saying something about
the dear, good old man for jou to put in
print. I will, however, now only say that
after Hannibal has been swinging h'.s swallow-tail
coat in office for more than half a
centurv. It was contemptibly mean in Gui
teau's President to refuse to nail the seat of
his son Charles' trousers to the Bench of the
United States Court in Maine. If you think,
dear nenry, that this letter is too lone vou
need not print it ; I onlv write because of
seeing so little in the press about my dear !
old friend's great virtues, and because I feel
like saying something about one whom I '
have learned to respect. He was once a boy. I
grew up to dp a man and never lost ins cour
age and manful spirit in the wild bunt for
office. G. N. S.
