jctJoiiN Adams, the secoDd President,

?!ilt of clothes and a hat. It was, of
course, with what is known as Conti

greatest depreciatien.
The desk of Mr. Ridge, a member of
the Legislature from Philadelphia, was
robbed on yesterday week of seren dol
lars worth of postage stamps and a copy
of. amuire Hand Btxk. As Ridge
didn't pay a red cent either for the
stamps or the Hand Book, but got them
at the expense of the State treasury, his
loss is not of the kind that is likel) to
drire him to suicide.
It is said at Ilarrisburg that Govern
t-
or Pattison is determined to ke?p the
expenG:V.res of the State government
within the revenues, even if he has to
lesort to a liberal exercise of the veto
power. He is carefully watchiDg the
appropriation bills In their progress
through the two houses, aDd his esti
mate is that the bills now on the calen
dar, if they should become laws, would
appropriate over a million of dollars be
yond the amount of the revenues from
all sources.
The present Republican Legislature
rt-waving been in session four months, the
t one-fourth of which time has been wast
ed in reeular adjournments from Friday
at Doon till the following Monday even
ing, and the public press of both parties
having openly denounced its shortcom
ings, Colborn, of Somerset, who aspires
to boss the House, admonished his
friends in that body the other day that
they could not afford to be langhed at by
?' -r Democratic brethren and all tbe
- as they deserved to be. And yet
men will ask their constituents
i iect them.
TnEsiDENT Cleveland accompa
nied by Vice President Hendricks and
several members of the Cabinet, left
"Washington on last Monday morning to
attend the annual meeting of the veter
ans of the Army of the Potomac on the
battle Old of Gettysburg. Gov. Patti
son welcomed the President in an ap
propriate Epeech from the grand stand
.and after several other addresses had
been delivered, the Presidential paity
under the guidance of ex-Governor Cur
tin and Col. P.atchelder visited the most
imrtant points on the battle field.
The President and party returned to
Washinfjton about 8 o'clock in the even
ing. Ax interesting race on skates was to
have come off at one of the Pittsburg
ritks on last Wednesday evening, be

ward in that city, lioth have been

settled the matter by telling them they

two mile race, the winner to have the

agreed to the proposition, but what the

Would like to see what shape it will
take.
About a year ago we were led to be
lieve that ex-Congressman Morgan R.
"Wise, of Greene county, in this State,
had toiever retired from politics, but we
were mistaken, as a dispatch from
"Washington of April 28th, states that
the irrepressible Morgau R. was then in
that city, trying to convince Mr. Cleve
land that he is just the man to be ap
pointed Governor of the Territory of
Arizona. If Wise possessed any of the
gift of seeing himself as others see him,
he would have long since retired in
to a bole and pulled the hole in after
him, but hid thirst for office seeuis to be
insatiable, and like so many other men,
he always wants an office which he is
notoriously incompetent to fill. The
Apache Indians are Arizona's greatest
sc urge, and tbe President will never
aJd to her tribulations by inflicting
Morgan IL Wise upon her as her Gov
ernor. No man has a definite comprehension,
-veil the Commissioner of Pensions
' 'f, of the amount of money that is
ly paid out on dead and fraudu--nsion
certificates. All that can
i aiout it is that the iiam-s of the
, .j?joners, with tbe amounts they are
respectively entitled to receive and the
agencies where they are paid, are cor
rectly kDown by the Commissioner, and
that at the end of each fiscal year a cer
tain amount of money has been dis
bursed. If every one connected with
the pension agencies was honest, this
wouid all be entirely satisfactory, but in
eooje of them are to be found dishonest
!erks who have been swindling the
government for year. Only week or
ten days ago the new Commissioner of
Pension directed the Puspension at the
Philadelphia agency of 102 pensions,
wtKe pensions have Len drawn regu
lar'r since 1371, the year, an the Coni
muuiuuer says, in which many of the
petitioners died. At the same agency
seven widows who remarried in 1SS1,
and therefore forfeited their pensioiiS.
have continued todrawtbem ever since.
Thr-s fraud., that is the drawing of the
money afler the pensioner! wtre dead,
was the work of a couple of clerks at
the agency who were convicted som
time ago and are now in tbe penitenti
ary. No doubt imilar frauds have been
perpetrated at other agencies, but from
the vigilant manner in wbicb General
KUrkthe new Commissioner is aJmin
feripg his office they will be unearthed.
The House at Ilarrisburg having j
failed bj the small margin of eleven, j
votes to override the Governor's veto i
of the job for stealing fifteen thousand
extra copies of Smull's Hand Book, im- j
mediately turned Its attention to put
ting through another bill directing a ;
le?s number, ten thousand, to be forth- j
coming for the use of the members of j
the two houses. The bill has ben ;
rushed through the House at raj' road j
speed, taking precedence of a'most all j
other legislation aud was passed finally j
ou Tuesday by 113 yeas, to 33 nays. !
Soon after this performance the joint '
resolu;ion proposing an amendment to j
the Constitution abolishing the poll tax i
as a qualification for voting, which was i
so earnestly recommended bv Gov. Pat- j
tison in his last message,cam before the i
House for consideration.and was defeat
ed tbe vote iu its favor being under 101.
This is tbe kind of hair pin the present
Honse delights in showiug itself to be.
When the Hand Book swindle was on
second reading a Republican member
from Bucks county named Shoemaker,
covered himself all over with mud by
offering, and tbe Republicans bv adopt
ing, an amendment directing one hun
dred copies to be given the Governor,
hoping, we suppose, that this petty bribe
would induce the Governor to stultify
his record in vetoing the first bill. Mr.
Shaw, of Blair county, who seems to
have a conscience that revolts at an act
of legislative larceny, offered an amend
ment requiring the members to pay for
all the Hand Books received by them at
their cost price and that the remainder
be sold at the same rate, but his propo
sition was promptly defeated. If this
bill passes the Senate the Governor will,
of course, behead it with another veto
and then the struggle will again be to
pass it over his head. This second at
tempt to rob the State treasury is even
more disgraceful than the first.
At the late term of the Luzerne coun
ty Couit the Grand Jury set a precedent
which might oe followed with great ad
vantage in other counties. In that
county as in nearly every other in th9
State, the Grand Juries are called upon
at every term to dispose of a large num
ber of trifling cases that grow out of
petty quarrels and private jealousies,
that have no business to take up the
time of the Court. Of this class of cases
the Luzerne Grand Jury dismissed ttijh-ty-fve,
imposing the costs in each case
upon the prosecutor. The primary
source of the mischief is the habit of a
large number of the Justices of tbe
Peace returning to Court every petty
prosecution that is instituted before
them, instead of disposing of them final
ly as tbey have the right to do. This
evil grew to such proportions in Alle
gheny county a year or two aga, that a
Judge of the criminal Court in Pitts
burg said from the bench, that it was to
be regretted that Grand Juries hadn't
the power to impose the costs on the
Justices of the Peace, who send insig
nificant cases before a Court to consume
its time, and subject the county to di
!y pay and mileage of the jun-r who
try them. What the Grand Jury of
Luzerne county hns just done cou'd
have been done quite as well by the
JuKicea of the county, and at a large
saving to the prospensors, if they had
performed their duty.

If this stand? accepted and the law you

Von need onlv know what kind of scoun

But I think that even that will end some

But, nevertheless, wait a little while. The

EX-l'0FEI)KRiTES FOR OFFICE.
The appointment of so many ex-Con-federales
of tbe South to important offi
ces by President Cleveland continues to
give much oflVnse to the opposition or
gans. Yet if the South a to be recog
nized as eutitled to political equality in
the Union of States, the President could
do no less. The men of the South who
were not in some official capacity In the
late Codfederacy are extremely rare and
enjoy in a very small degree the respect
and confidence of the people. But in
waving the bloody shirt over these ap
pointments the opposition organs afford
the Democrats the opportunity to review
the list of ex-Confederates woo have
been elevated to offices and honors by
Republican Administrations, including
General James Lonsrstreet, Amos T.
Akerman, David M. Key, John S. Mos
by, Thomas Sett le ar.d James S. Chal
mers, the "hero of Fort Pillow." Eve
ry ex-Confederate of political influence
has been sure of recognition by Repub
lican Administrations since tbe close of
the rebellion upon the condition that be
would abandon the Democrats and act
with the Republicans- No other test of
loyalty was imposed on him. Mahone
and Riddleberger, ex-Confederates help
to make up the narrow Rlpublican ma
jority in the United States Senate. In
view of the6e facts it is rather foolish in
Republican organs to lash their partisan
reruiers into a rage over the nomination
of Southern Democrats to office.
This spectre of the restoration of the
ex-rebels to power was reproduced on
the political stage during the last Presi
dential contest, and it was banished,
never to return, in the election of Cleve
land. If any blame attaches to the ap
pointment of Southern Democrats to
important offices it is shared by the Re
publican Senate. The Republican Sen
ate in every insiance has promptly con
firmed these nominations except that of
General Lawton, of Georgia, for Min
ister to Russia. In this case the nomi
nation was not confirmed immediately,
on a technical ground of objection, it
appears that the disabilities of General
Lawtou had not been removed, and his
nomination was reported to the Senate
by the Foreign Relations Committee in
order to afford a future opportunity for
overcoming this objection so that the
Domination might be confirmed in the
next session of Congress.
Bnt denunciations and reproaches are
heaped on President Cleveland by the
orgai.s, which forget in the eagerness of
their partisan zeal that the Senate snares
with him the responsibility of these ap
pointments to office. If the nominations
were objectionable on personal or public
consideration it was the duty of the Sen
ate to reject them. The President took
care that his selections of Southern men
for important places of honor and trust
at home and abroad that no just com
plaints could be raised concerning theii
personal character and fitness. There
lemained, then, to the Senate no other
reason for rejecting tbem than their
participation in the rebellion. Tneir
rejection for sach a caue after twenty
years of peace and a restored Union
would have been an act of sectionalism
in the Republican Senate sure to do in
finitely more political harm to its au
thors than its objects. In denouncing
the Presidents for nominating ex-Cun-federate
generals and statesmen to high
office the org. ins of sectionalism oblique
ly attack the Republican Senate for con
firming them. Yet the organs must be
conscious their rejection would have
tiet-n a poli; ica! blunder of the first mag
nitude in betraying the implacable sec
tional ehap-ic'erof the party committing
. it. PhiluUlphiti Record.
As Important Decision. The Su
preme Court or lVims I vama on Mon
day, through Justice Mercur, rendered
an imporrant decision as to the degree
of iusanity necessary to be proven in or
der to work the acquittal of a prisoner
charged with homicide. The Court
takes the ground that "moral insanity
is not sufficient to constitute a defense
unless it be shown that the propensities
in question exibt to such an extent as to
subjugate the intellect, control the will
and render it impossible to do otherwise
than yield thereto ; that no mere moral
obliquitvof perception will protect a
person from punishment for his delib-
r . i i . J ... .ruiL, Dl-

nized in the administration of law when
ofa hghicrPJTiH, for tbe commission
protection of society requTilAssary
ognition of a rule which demands a
greitt r degree of insanity to exempt from
putr.sliment." This decision ought to
have the effect of lessening the number
of pleas of "not guilty because of insan
ity" in murder cases. We tave had too
much of that kind of insanity which be
gan with the destruction of a human
life and ended with the acquittal of tbe
accused on his trial for murder. Pitts
burg Chronicle.
Sound Sense from Dan Voorhees.
i Senator Voorhees, who has been dis-
apKinled iu securing important ap
pointments under the administration,
says among other things : "The distri
bution of patronage is not a proper sub
ject upon which to break with an Ad
ministration. Dishonesty in office or the
adminin'stration of the Government
upon false principles of legislation can
alone justify a leader of the party in
rushing into oppositiou. It is, in my
opinion, highly impolitic for any one
who fails to get an office to cry out that
the party is lost, and then fall to raiting
against the Adminis. ration. To men
j who are before the couutry accusing
j this Administration of moving slowly it
ought to be a sufficient answer that the
j Democratic party taKes possession of n
. Government that has teen for twenty
i five years in the hands of the Repuhli
! cans, and that the Senate is still Repub
lican. If the Administration went to
J work with a recKless rapidity ii. making
i changes the members of it would there
by prove their unfitness for their pla-
ces. I refuse to dsrus any such prop-
. . ... .
oi:i-n asthrtt Mr. Cleveland may prove
dit'mal to his party or the principles
upo-t which we tiected him. My confi
dence in his integrity is absolute."

WASHIXTOX LETTER.
From our regular Correspondent.
Washington, April 20, 1885.
Your correspondent did not have his
usual six hour confidential interview
with the President of the United States
this week, and is consequently not able
to give you a news report hot and steam
ing from the lip of the Administration.
Maybe the reason I didn't call on the
President was because my friend did.
I have a wild western friend who found
himself in Washington last week with
two whole hours at his disposal. He
decided that the time was not quite suf
ficient for him to see and talk to every
body in Washington (though be could
come as near it as any living man or
even woman), and inasmuch as he had
to draw the line somewhere, he called
only on tbe President, Secretary Lamar,
and your correspondent. I will not at
tempt to tell all be told me for be talked
without punctuation. But to tbe Pres
ident he made tbe original remark that
he had no friends to reward, no enemies
to punish and do favors to ak. The
"no favors to ask" clause seemed to
please the President.and he replied : "I
am nearly worried to death by those
who have nothing but favors to ask."
My friend then called at the Interior
department on Secretary Lamar, and
told him that he wished to see bis bath
tub. Tbe Saturnine Secretary at once
set down my "Westerner for a crank, but
a glance at his nice clothes and bis face
painted red with intelligence and hu
mor convinced him that be had struck a
character rare. So he showed him tbe
little zinc bath tub and the two four
dollar rugs to buy which, he had sold
the ten thousand dollars' worth of car
riages and horses.
The President and the members of
his Cabinet have gone to Gettysburg to
celebrate the anniversary of the battle.
This is the first respite that Mr. Cleve
land has taken since the 4th of March.
Miss Cleveland is away in New York.
Col. Lamont and his family, consisting
of his wife and two little daughters,
have, at the urgent request of the Pres
ident, moved into the White House, and
they will soon accompany the President
to his country residence at the Soldiers'
Home. The President's cottage at the
Home is about three miles from the
White House aud about a mile and a
half from the northern boundary of the
city. It is situated ou a commanding
elevation with a fine vievof the city and
the Potomac river. Surrounded by trees
acres of greensward, it will have al! the
advantage of a summer resort with the
additional advantage of complete retire
ment from society and fashion that can
not be obtained at Long Branch, Sara
toga or Newport.
Th6 illnes of the President's private
secretaiy has revived the old talk about
the peculiar Washington malaria. Ev
ery ill that flesh is fceir to in this city is
attributed by the non-professional wri
ters for the press to malaria. A Senator
cannot eat or drink too much bnt bis
indisposition is malaria, and one of them
went so far as to attribute the accouch
ment of a prominent woman to the
same prolific cause. Washington, as
the statistics show, is a universally
healthy city, and its death rate shows
as small a percentage from malaria as
anv city in the Union.
What will the Administration do con
cerning official changt-s ? is a question
that is being very earnestly asked at
this time. There are in round numbers
102,000 salaried office-holder uuder the
Federal Government. They are the ar
my of imlitics, for it means their bread.
Their discipline enabled the Republican
paity to keep itself in power for half a
century. Nine-tenths of these officials
are still in position. What is the Presi
dent going to do about it ? A gentle
man who holds a very prominent and
responsible position under Mr. Cleveland
and comes from a very powerful State
occupying a most important political
and geographical position, spoke very
plainly and fully the other dav respect
ing the matter of changes. He said :
"No one better comnreheuds the neces
sity for a complete change in all com
missioned officials than does the Presi
dent. He is perfectly aware that the
people, in making the change in Presi
dents last fall, did not mean simply to
put one man out and another man in.
They meant that the entire system was
to be altered and renovated,and you may
depend upon it, that is precisely what
the President means to do, but he will
not be hurried." j.
UErman Carp. Carp culture is be
coming a remarkable industry In this
try. "Ti J is essentially a farm indus
profit upon a majority-?, on with great
this county, with practically no n".
with small outlay, with trifling attention
and without interfering in the least with
any other branch of farm industry. It
is believed that about 3,000 persons in
the Slate have commenced the business,
mostiv in a small way, and in the entire
country about 35,000 have made a com
mencement. W herever the business is
started systems! ically in simple but
properly constructed pond3, the results
are successful to a degree far surpassing
any other branch of farm industry here
tofore attempted.
Give the carp a chance and be will be
a success. You need no fancy or large
pond. Any waste or unsightly piece of
ground or useless swamp will do, the
more grass, logs, rocks and litter you
submerge the better his carpship will
like it. He is not much of a rover ; all
he wants is a place to swim and a deep
place to rest in during the winter. He
will not ask you for food or any caring
for whatever, only let him have four or
five more feet of deep water to snooze
away the winter months you are caring
for your pigs, cows, sheep, poultry, etc.,
and they will come forth in the spring
and seek the shallows where the grass
stands either dead or alive and will
there roll and flutter with their backs
half out of the water, while depositing
their spawn, which is of a glutinous na
ture and adheres to any puitable mate-
rirl, and in a few days thousands of the
most minute fish will be seen, so small
i that at first coming they are difficult to

crash about 3 o'clock on Sunday morning
last. The structure was a four story brick
and substantially built In it were twelve
thousand barrels of beer and a lot of new
and valuable machinery. Tbe immense

and torrents of tbe malt fluid ran down
the street and completely flooded cellars.

ture will be rebuilt at once.
