FRIDAY, - - - - FEB. 10, 1882.
Jvvan Cox on Saturday last over
rule! the motion for a new trial in the
cw;e or GuUchu, and sentenced lum to
a hung o:. FriUy, the 30th day of
June next. His counsel will take an
awn-al to the District Court, where it
bo heard diirina the Aoril term be
fore ail the Judges of the Courts in the
District of Columbia. The law requires
that there shall be thirty days between
the close of tun term of tho District
Court and an execution decreed by it,
and as the April term will end with
May, it will be seen that Judge Cox fix
ed the time for the hanging of this "in
spired" assassin, to take place just as
goon as the J aw will permit.
That eminent Democratic statesman,
Morgan R. Wise, of Greene connty, this
Stat" who was first elected to Congress
in lf-TS and re-elected in 1BS0, proposes
once more to try the suffering patience
of his constituents by again asking them
to make him their candidate and give
him a third term of official life at Wash
ington. If there ever was a member of
Congress from this State who required
to be given "a rest," and an exceeding
ly long one, it is Morgan R. Wise, and
we trust that the intelligent Democracy
of the counties of Westmoreland, Fay
ette and Greene, if they should happen
to form a district v.nd-r the new appor
tionment bill, as they now do, will see
tliid lie gets it beyond all peradventure.
Tiik Engl;-h people arn working
themselves up to a high pitch of excite

commenting 0:1 tho proceedings of one
of tht-si indignsition meetings, says that

will contiuue in the future, as in the

Legislature on yesterday week, just a
mouth after the session commenced,
elected as Speaker Charles E. Patter
son, the regular Democratic nominee,
the Tammany, or John Kelly, members
voting for him. What caused this crim
inal waste of a wholo month's time ? It
wasn't because Mr. Patterson was in
any respect an unfit man for Speaker,
but it was because Kelly's men, who
held the balance of power in the House
as well as in the Senate, demanded, in
the first place, that they should be al
lowed to dictate to the House the chair
men of the Committees on Cities and
Rail Roads, and also that a man of their
own selection should be elected chief
clerk. These demands were, of course,
rejected, and now at the end of a month
these same Tammany patriots, back
squarely down from there original posi
tion and vote for the regular caucus
candidate, who will frame the commit
tees according to his own best judgment.
It seems that the compromise was ef
fected by the regular Democrats agree
ing to withdraw all the other caucus
nominations, and that another caucus
should bo held thi9 (Tuesday) evening,
which the Tammany members agrped
to attend, forthepurpo.se of nominating j
candidates for the House offices. This j
will perhaps end the controversy, or it :
may not. We will see. How long will
John Kelly and his followers continue
to disorganize the Democratic party in
Xew Yoik, and prevent it from accom
plishing Its honest purposes ? That this
boss of Tammany Hall is able to con
trol tho action of forty thousand Dem
ocrats in the city of Xew York, and
as many more in the balance of the
State, is the great political wonder of
the age.
The vigorous efforts that are being
made by the Republican bosses of Phil
adelphia to re-elect the notorious Billy
McMuliin to the board of Select Conncil
in that city illustrate more than any
thing else the utter rottenness of Phila
delphia pilLics, and reveal in their true
colors the kind of men who, when the
political cauUlron'b'jils, have heretofore
Honied to the s uface in the manage
ment of Iter municipal affairs. As the
decent Democrats in McMullin's own
ward, "the bloody Fourth." as It is fa
miliarly called, have spewed him out of
their mouths, the bosses have come to
his rescue, simply because his vote in
I coe.t.eil can always be depended on to
sanction their coriupt and plundering
schemes to rob the taxpayers of the city.
The struggle at the election on next
Tuesday week between the bosses toper-
petuato their pow?r in the city conp.cils,
and ti:e friends of honesty and reform in
the city government to get possession
of them, will be fought to the bitter end
At an immense, icfonn meeting held iu j have to bow to the Stalwart l.-osses. The
that city on last Saturday niftht under stalwarts are the wasters of the Hepublican

initleu of One Hundred, Vv'ayne Mac- j hd on the Stulwart ticket, the masses of tho
Veaudi toM th audience in his fp-ech Ii'T-uMican party will be forced to submit to

stitnUdto turn out of their scats a large

Iht.' Somht vn States, upon the pretext
that 11;" ncproes -ra intimidated by !
the white people from voting for the j

it is an easy tiling to allege fraud and I
make charges of hull-dozing negro voles I
bat It is not so easy a tmilter to proyo j
them, even to the Committee on EIpc- j
tions in a Republican Congress. Last j
week that committee dismissed tho i
I.ouisir.na case of Inier (Rep.) against
j King (D-.-tr..), the contestant, Ranier
I bavin;.; nlterh failed to p.ro luce any ev
: ideiice to siiotuin his trumped up claim
; to a seat. This' ivas a ca.se over which,
; after the elections a vear ago last o

I iiitimidatio'i. Aneiher case, that of

! Mabson, Rep., against Oates. Der.r. from
Ai.1b.1n1a, is likely frot;i the l,t est re
ports to eo th same v.-ay and for the
Fame cause. Rut then Ranier and Man
son will both get their pay for attempt
ing to crawl into Congress tinder false
pretences, and that probably is about all
t hey were after.
Tick House of Representatives on
Monday last. under tho suspension of tho
rules and without debate, passed a bill
which provides that no person who is
guilty of bigamy or polygamy shall be
eligible to a seat in Congress as a dele
gate from any Territory. A great many
members were primed with carefully
prepared speeches in favor of the bill.
but its quick and quiet passage knocked
the talk completely out of them, and
prevented the Meady flow of a ent
up
stream of impassioned eloquence fori
l.iti.eomt.e-, or liome consumption. Now j

Regular Correspondence of tbe Frueu ah
Dear Freeman The groundhog came
out and saw his shadow on the 2d instant,
and silently stole back to his hole, where he
is supposed to hibernate for a period of six
weeks longer. In consequenee of this ac
tion of the groundhog, I think I can feel a
cold chill running through me. O, dear me !
To be thus assured ot eix weeks more of
frosty weather, is enough to give any one me 1
. . . t
chills Cambria's "frostv sons of thunder," I
however, are supposed to be able to stand it.
I presume the snow plows of your grand
trunk line at last have been brought intora
quisition. "Beautiful" snow has occupied
the attention of our citizens for several
days past. A good, healthy fall of snow in
Philadelphia gives more discomfort than any
other heavenly visitant. There has been a
marvelous disturbance of physical nature
since the year came in. The year 1S82 has
opened up bravely in the Shipton line.
THE COST OF COLD WEATHEB.
A cold period, such as the one through
which we are now passing, costs thousands of
dollars to the housekeepers of a city like
Philadelphia. A very important, and as yet
unsolved problem to the pocr man is the eco
nomical pioduction and use of heat. It is
safe to say that one-half of the heat produced
by stoves, ranges and heaters of an ordinary
family in this country is wasted. It is said
tho Russians understand this matter better
than the Americans. They, with other
Northern nations, have a method for econo
mizing heat that would be very B.itisfactory
to the poor people of America. The most
economical heat known in this country is
that furnished by exhaust steam, which,
having performed its work of force, expends
what caloric remains In making man com
fortable. Eut heat of this kind is only avail
able for a few, and, under present circum
stances or the present condition of thines,
does not effect the great problem of house
warming. As above stated, a very import
ant and as yet unsolved problem to the poor
man of America, is the economical produc
tion and use of heat. It is no time now for
Americans to indulge in abstract charity for
sufferings abroad. The American people
haye everywhere at their own doois peoplo
whose fortunes have run down to zro along
with the thermometer. Let them look after
their own sufferers. "Charity begins at
home." Theie ere many crushed hearts
without a pulsation of joy in this city, for
whom the rich have no sympathy. God help
the poor ! The rich can help themselves.
THE HERO BEAVER AM) FARMER BUTLER.
It is said the Stalwarts, after nominating
the hero TJeavcr for Governor, will seize far
mer Butler by Ins cowhide boots and his
hayseed hair, and force him on the ticket tor
Lieutenant Governor. The people appear
to be for farmer Butler, but the bosses are
for hero Bearer, and the people will have to j
! succumb. Farmer Butler was not one of the
'era. He did not go to CT.icac-) ai d vote
! for the thud-term candidate in opposition to
! the known wishes of his ror.stitnents. Far- '
mer Butler and his friends will therefore
Jitalwait domination. Fanr.er Butler, of
! course, will indignantly spurn the suggestion
1 that he will accept the second place on the
1 ticket, but he will not endanger his party by
; rejectiag tbe nomination. The Republican
l masses are for Farmer Butler, ami the Re-
publican pns is nearly solid for him, but
; ti e Republican bese-j arc f.r Hero Beaver.
; The bitter are all looking through Washing-
ton glasses sent them by bos Cameron, and
; ave under orders. With Hero Beaver lead
; ing th. ticket, Farmer Butler second, Indo
I pem'.or.t Ruwle third and Machine tireer at
; the foot, tl;e masses of the party will enthuse
over the skill and libeiality of the bosses.
j A FOUL r.II.P.
j Tiie old German adage that "it is a foul
: bird that soils its own nest" finds new and
I fresh proof in our paragon of political virtue,
: tho City Controller and candidate for Guber
; natorial honors, who, in Ins anxiety to damn
his own part v. is rushirvj to the front against
one cMf s nominees. Our Philadelphia Dem-
ocratic Gubernatorial aspirant assisted in de
feating a Democratic candidate at the No
vember election, and now he is assisting the
Republicans to defeat a Democratic nominee
at the February election.
NO MOKE OHIO riCESlDHTS.
Senator Pendleton is actively in the field
as a candidate for the Democratic Presiden
tial nomination in 1884. In the event that
Mr. Tilden consents to be a candidate Mr.
Pendleton will gracefully withdraw in his
favor but in no otlier continsctiry will he
reiue iroin t.ie iieiu until the f.cht is over.
j Mr. Pendleton jiroposes to make Ids canvass
: upon civil service and reform principles.
; Rx-Seigeant at-Arms Thompson, with a "p"
j in his name, is accredited with being the
j chief enKineer of the Pendleton boom, and is
! seconded and assisted by Mr. Buckwalter,
1 the late Democratic candidate for Governor
! of Ohio. Mr. Buckwalter's friends say ho
1 was "bled" freely by the Ohio Democrats,
! but the Ohio Democrats deny the soft iru
' peaehmeut. They acknowledge that they
! nominated Mr. Bucksvalter with the bright
1 est anticipations of being able to do some-
thinx of that kind, hut that the experiment
I was as disappointing as that of the amateur
scitntibt, who once attempted to extract
blood from a turnip. But we ask pardon
for digressing, and return to the main sub
ject by kayiug that Mr. Pendleton is actively
I in the field as a candidate for the Democratic
j Presidential nomination in 18S4 for which
1 he has not t lie ghost of a show. Mr. Pendle-
ton's sin of bad sliding on the financial ques
, tion is not forgotten or forgiven by the De
( mocracy of the country, and my advice to
j Mr. Pendleton is not to waste his time and
i money in a canvass for the Democratic Pres
fidential nomination in 1884, but to retire
! from the lield, whether Mr. Tiideu consents
i to be a candidate or rot. The people want
no more Ohio Presidents. Thev already
have had a surfeit of Ohio statesmanship.
THE NAUTICAL, CICRBERCS.
We don't hear any criticisms of Republi
can oigans 011 the significant assignments
given tl.e New Jersey "boiled lobster."
This nautical ceiberus has three heads. He
is a member of three committees Annronri-
atior.s, Naval Affairs, nnd Expenditures on
the Naval Department thus making Lira a
nautical Cerberus with three head. As a
member cf the Naval Affairs committee he
suggests what legislation is desirable; as a
member of the Appropriation committee he
grants the desired amhui.ts, and finally as a
member cf the committee to investigate the
expenditures in the Naval Department he
examines and approves the expenditures
made. Yet this public plunderer, at the
head of the Republican majority in Congress,
amid the fceneral dissatisfaction at fha make
up of the House committee, causes no criti
cisms of the P.f publican press. Not one
criticism do we hear of the significant as
signments given Robeson, the most infamous
plurdficr of tiie whole Grant plundering
regime.
"I'M AS If A PPT AS A BIG PCNFLOWKR."
The aesthetic craie which is racing thro'
out the country at this day reminds me of
the noetic davs of lone- a "o. in the dn v of llm

"I'm py a? a hi;.' sunflower." Eugliob
renaissance throng the aesthetic poetical
genius of Oscar Wilde, ha been productive
In reyivinc former appreciations of the su
blime virtues of the sunflower. A half a
century ngo American negro minstrals sang
soul -stirring songs about the sunflower, and
about that time the great Irish poet. Tom
Moore, embalmed the virtue of that goreeou3
posey in one of his most sentimental ballads,
the last two lines of which read thus :
"As the sunflower turns on Its god when he
sets.
The same look that it pave when he rose."
It may not be generally known, that the
sunflower while it faces the rising god of tho
day turns with him to his setting. This we
are told by flower culturlists to be true
!.. 1. - M ,:, T . . 1
i"" fi, peculiarly iii.iereiiuy 1
from ad other specimens of the floral king- '
dom, turns to the setting sun. To show the
devotion of one true loving heart for another,
Tom Moore took the sunflower for the em
blem in one of his finest sentimental effu
sions :
"P,elieve me, if all these endearing young
charms.
Which I caze on so fondly to-day.
Should fade by to morrow and flee from my
arms
Like fairv cifts fadinir away ;
Thou wouldst then be adored, as now truly
thou art.
Let thy loveliness fade as it will.
And around the dear ruin each wish of my
heart
Would entwine itself verdantly still."
"For the heart that once truly loves never
forirets.
But most fondly loves on to the elo"e.
As the sunflower turns on its god when he
sets
The same look that it gave when he ro?p."
The aesthetic Oscar Wilde, I am highly
please.d to discover, has caused a great revi
val of a long lost appreciation of the sun
flower. I am beginninnto appreciate Oscar.
I am learning to admire lum even if his real
name is O'Flaherty, and If he does have
"sawdust calves." Every dny Increnses my
admiration for him. Indeed he has placed me
under crreit obligations to him. Tie has re
minded me of vounger, happier days, when
I used to he delighted with the singing of the
Inspiring aesthetic nero son?, "As happy
as a big sunflower," anil the sincir.g of
Moore's sentimental sunflower song. These
dear old sunnV.wrr soncs are now fondly re
membered. As I write I nlmest imagine
that I hear a dear one singing in the sweet
est strain :
'"Believe me, if all these endearing young
charms
I am now fully csnvinced that the charge
that Mr. Wildo was sailing under false col
nrs ai.d that his real name is O'Flaherty, is a
base slander. I am now firm in my convic
tion that Oscar Wilde is his true name, and
that he is a real nice aesthetie young man
a gentleman that Aunt Jane Swisshelm
would call "a pinks-sweet-williams yonnc
man." Since Oscar's visit to Philadelphia

111TE.U'S PEATH SENTENCE.
When Juvlfee Cox, on Saturday last, parsed
sentence on Guiteau, he addressed the pris
oner as follows :
"You have been convicted of a crime so
terrible in its circumstances and so far-reaching
in its results that ifc has drawn upon you
the Jrorror of t,in whole civilized world and
the execrations of vour countrymen. The !
excitement produced by such an oftense made i
it no easy task t secure for von a fair and j
impartial trial, but vou had thepower of the
United States Treasury an.l of the govern
ment in your service to protect vour person
from violence and to procure evidence from
all parts of the country. You have had as
1.111 iiu'i impartial a jury as ever asscronieii
in a court of justice. You liave been defend

havpi been a comfort to many people if the
veidictof the jury had established the fact
that your act was that of an irresponsible
man. It would have left the satisfying be
lief that the crime of political anamination
was something entirely foieign to the insti
tutions and civilization of our country : but
the result has denied them that comfort.
The country will accept it as a fact that the
crime can be committed, and the Court will
have to deal with it with the highest penalty
known to the criminal code to serve as an
i example to others. Your career has been so
1 extraordinary that people niieht well at times
j have doubted your sanity. But one cannot
but believe that when the crime was commit
I ted you thoroughly understood the nature of
tho crime and its consequences (initeau.

As the last solemn wonls fell from the
Judge's lips the prisoner echoed them, but in j
a far different tone of voice, for it was in a
voice of passionate hatred that he cried out : ;

Mr. Seoville took an exception to the judg

this was being noted the prisoner sat tapping
nervously with the t:ns of 1:1s fingers upon
the tible. Then he ij-.-oke out p'-ain wil t'v:
