met at Chicago, on 1 inst., and affected a

the Grangers will support for President
of the United States. We don't think it
will be a very heavy move—the Gran

The question of the Centennial orator
Was settled by the selection of William

Henry Lee as reader of the Declaration

Preparations for the Centennial are ex

The proceeds will have to come in pret

up that sum.
The Watchman, of last week, has a
pleasant article in favor of our gallant
member of congress, Col. Mackev.
Right, neighbor, though late. The Re
porter is glad to notice it. We can also
inform our neighbor that Col. Mackey
was elected in this district by a tremen
dous majority—mnch larger than the
regular figures, and this too, neighbor,
in spite of treachery and treason, open
and secret in our own party, and with
out reason. Mr. Mackey deserved every
good democrats vote—every honest
man's vote. The platform and pledges
he stood upon, his whole life, were those
of an honest, noble patriot—and yet
there were those who would have de
feated him as the regular nominee of
our party. Now neighbor, if Col. Mackey
proves true to hie pledges and his life,
suppose, at the proper time, we favor his
re-election ?
The proceedings in the whisky suits
at St. Louis are assuming a most serious
and overshadowing shape. Secretary
Bristow has already deserved well of the
country for the courage and decision
With which he has pressed these suits.
He will deserve better yet of the coun
try if he perseveres in the face of reve
lations which, as recent Washington des
patches plainly show, are beginning
clearly to implicate persons immediate
ly and intimately connected with the
President of the United States. The
names of General Babcock, the private
secretary, and of Lieutenant Colonel
Frederick Grant, the son of the Presi
dent, are drifting with what seems to be
a fatal certainty and speed into the ma
elstrom of this investigation. The prob
abilities now are that against a loss to
the Treasury of some $40,000,000, these
proceedings will secure a restoration of
no more than 12,000,000. The bringing
home of so enormous a system of rob
bery to the very doors of the White
House will assuredly dwarf all other is
sues of the moment, and make the ex
posures and punishment of this gigantic
conspiracy memorable and important
in our history.
SPEAKER KERR.
The speakership is settled, —the lower
house of congress organized by electing
Michael C. Kerr, democrat, of Indiana, as
speaker, on first ballot. This is a good
beginning for the first democratic con
gress since the breaking out of the late
war, and the selection is hailed with
joy all over the country. It is true
Pennsylvania had a candidate in Mr.
Randall, an able democrat, and one who
has made a gallant fight on the floor of
the house for a number of years, but
the choice fell upon another—a very
distinguished gentleman, and a native
of Pennsylvania—for Mr. Kerr, the new
speaker, was born in Erie county—but
who has so ably represented, in part the
state of Indiana. Mr. Randall would
have been stronger, but unfortunately
for himthough not his fault—his
"friends" killed him.—The bad element
in the democratic party for some reason
came to his support. Morrissy, Mullin,
Josephs, and that stripe took sides with
Randall, which went far to [strengthen
Kerr,[bringing to his support much of
that element in the democratic party
which despises gambling politicians, and
the corrupt who make (politics a trade,
and with whom filthy lucre is the main
object. We are glad again of the lesson
that can be learned here —the people de"
mand purity —and even though a man
be really good and unexceptionable, if
the buzzards hover around him, the
clean birds will take [flight in another
direction. The election of Mr. Kerr is
satisfactory to the democracy of Centre
and of the state.

It is very evident that serious tsouLles
inside the Administration are likely to
grow out of the exposures of the Whis
ky King and the prosecutions at St.
Louis. They may end in Mr. Kristow's
retirement ftouj the Cabinet, as was
threatened by Milkmaid, Joyce and
others, w hen his raid on the thieves was
begun last spring. At all events, a cri
sis has been precipitated, in which the
President will bo forced to the
Secretary of the Treasury to the bitter
end, or to accept hi* resignation with bis
reasons for offering it.
Various witnesses have testified thai
letters from Babcock were shown by
Joyce giving assurance that the Ring
would be protected. The relations be
tween the President and McDonald, the
reversal of Mr. Bristow's order changing
the Supervisors, ami the appointment
of Avery as Chief Clerk of the Treasury
over the Secretary's head, are all mat
ters of notoriety. They have attracted
the gravest suspicion toward the White
House,and left a strong conviction on the
public uitiiii that the King had there its
chief support.
While Mr. Bristow and the President
appear upon the surface as in perfectao
cord, it is known that this whisky busi
ness has produced a coolness, and, super
added to the hostility of the Washing
ton and other Rings, it may be said to
have changed their relations. Boss
Shepherd ; Babcock,'who is a concienoe
keeper as well as illegal Secretary ;
Luekey, who has charge of the confiden
tial correspondence of the Press dent,
and knows how to use it ; Ingalls, who
was made acting Quarter-master Gener
al to pass condemned claims : and the
whole White House circle of venal inti
mates, are bitterly opposed to Bristow.
They have Grant's car and confidence,
and access to him when the highest pub
lic men are denied admittane.
The course of the prosecution at >t.
Louis makes it clear that Babcock, <a
sey, Luckev and others closely connect
ed with the President, and who were
deep in the Whisky King, are to be
shielded if possible.
It may be well for the House of Repre
sentatives to begin an investigation
at the interesting point where this
prosecution will probably end. In no
other way will the whole truth come out
in a form to be accepted by the country.
This scandal should be probed to the
very bottom, so that the thieves at
Washington, who have heretofore enjoy
ed immunity from punishment, and
have traded on their influence ami con
nections with the President, may be
brought into the dock like other crimi
nals, and made to serve terms in the
penitentiary according to the measure
of their offences.
THE SPEA KERSHIP.
THE DEMOCRATIC CACCVB NOMINATES KERB
ON TIIK TIURU BALLOT.
Washington, Dec. 4.—Mr. Wood called
the caucus to order, and in a few remarks
alluded to the importance of the position
for which the body was, then, to select a
man, and the necessity of bearing in
mind the result of the choice upon the
future of the jiarty and the welfare of the
country. He then nominated Mr. La
mar, of Mississippi, to be chairman of
the caucus, which was in accordance
with a previons arrangement, and the
nomination being at once continued, Mr.
Wood led Mr. Latnar to the chair. On
assuming the chair Mr. Lamar,
thanked the caucus for the honor it had
conferred on him.
Samuel J. Randall was nominated Ly
Mr. Heister Clymer, Michael C. Kerr by
Mr. Holman and Samuel S. Cox by Mr.
Hewitt. The balloting then began, an
attempt to have a vivc voce vote having
first been rejected.

At the close of the'third ballot Mr.
Randall arose slowly, and, with great
Bclf-posscssion, said ;
Mr. Chairman—Let the wish of the
majority be the voice of all. From this
moment the differences among ourselves
must be at an end, and thus present a
united front to our adversaries. Our
mission on this floor must be, as far as
we are able to restore the government to
its constitutional purposes,and to expose
the corruption of the administration. A
word more of a personal character to
those around who have so steadily sup
ported me. They have lost their choice
but have gained a lifelong friend. I
now move that the nomination of Mi
chael C. Kerr, of Indiana, be made unan
imous.
The nomination of Mr. Kerr having
been made unanimous on this sugges
tion, the caucus took a recess.
For Clerk of the House G. M. Adams
of Ky., received the caucus nomination,
and G. Thompson, of Ohio, for sergent
at-arms.
The election of Mr. Kerr to the speak
ership indicates the following selection

A iqiecial dispaL It from Washington

I have the best authority for stating
that the commissioner of pensions to-day
suspended from practicing before bis of
fice the Philadelphia claim agency firms
of MclVvitt A Co., Schilver Frauds,

for alleged successful attempts to obtain
payment of moneys on fraudulent di>eu

commissioner—the frauds, as I am told,
not being confined to Philadelphia alone
will involve the suspension of nearly
AhOoO casea, and the possible payment
of over f2,R00,0U0 annually. The sjiooial
agents of the but can, who have spent
many months in sifting the matter, i im

WHAT STDOSALI* tiio TO VII
THROUGH lllS I'RJSOSBARS'.
[JVoat the Chicago 7V.';tin<\]
St, Louis, November —The press
having charged so frequently that the
St. Louis Whiskey Ring extended to
Washington, and even involved the
President's household, your correspond
ent was anxious to find out what Gener
al McDonald had to say on that subject,
and so interviewed him to-day :
"What do you think of President
Grant?"
MclVmsld immediately, and with
much warmth, replied:
"General Grant is one of the best and
purest men this country ever produced.
Then- is no man lor whom 1 had more
admiration than him. So far as he is
personally concerned he is utterly In
cnpable of |cr|ctruting a fraud, and lie
meant what he said w hen he remarked
"J,rt no guilty man escape." Grant
could not do a mean thing, and if he has
read the evidence in my case I know he
does not approve the verdict. His sense
of justice would not permit.him to do it.
Grant will be elected for a third term as
sure as lam now in this jail. lie is the
man for the times, and the people know
it and intend to keep him where he
"Did he refuse to see you when ho was
here last ?"
•'The story that I sent up my card to
the President and received a reply that
he could not confer with officers of the
Government resting under .indictment
is purely imaginary. No such transac
tion occurred. I had too great a seuse
of propriety to seek a private uudience
with the President under the circum
stances. The President did receive me.
just as he received everybody who call
ed at his reception. I jwiid him my
courtesies and passed out. For years 1
have been on terms of social intimacy
not only with President Grant, hut also
many members of his Cabinet, but since
my reputation has been darkened by a
shadow I have been too much of a gen
tleman to take advantage of past asso
ciations and intrude myself upon
them."
"What about General Babcock?"
"He is one of the nicest little gentle
men you ever saw, and I do not belicvo
he has had any connection whatever
with the whiskey frauds. He never
made a dollar in that way, and his name
has been tarnished without cause. Hals
cock was a particular friend of mine as
w ell as Joyce."
FUNDS FOR MOODY'S NEW
CHURCH.
Messrs. Moody and Sankey have just
handed over to the treasurer of the fund
for the building of Mr. Moody's church
in Chicago, the funds from the sale of
the famous Moody and Sankey hymn
books. The profits on the sales of the
books while in England reached the sum
of C r >,%7 18s. fid., which is $27,206,80 in

THE KNOLISII IN INDlA.—lndia is gari

sides these intimidating troops there is
a native army of about 125,000, which,
as well as the sulalued and unarmed
people, requires to be watched and kept
at awe. The mortality among the
Britisli soldiers and especially among the
women and children of their families is
fearful. Permission is given to fifteen
percent, of the soldiers to have their

thatinall India there were last year thus
attached to tlie army 0,62(5 women, 11,—
8(50 children, and that the mortality
among theui arc as follows : Among
the women 20 per 1,000, and among the

AN IN PI AN COSMOGONY
Major Powell, in Scriboer for December
give* the following accountof the religious
traditions of Indians who inhabit the
Moqui towns of Arizona.
They worship a god of the north, and a
god of the south ; a god ot the east, and a
god of the west, a god of thunder, and a
god of rain, the sun, the moon and the
stars ; anj in addition, each town has iu
patron deity. There seems, also, to be on
grafted on their religion a branch of ances
tral worship. Their notion of the forui
and constitution oi the world is arcliitertu- {
ral, that it is composed of meny stories.!
Wo live in the second. Ma-chi-ta, literal
ly the leader, probably an ancestral god, is 1
said to have brought tbcm up from th£
lower story to the nest higher, in which
we now live. Tbo heaven above is the
ceiling ol this story, the floor of the next.
Their account of their rescue from tho low-'
er world by Ma-chi-ta is briefly as follows:
The people below were a medley mass ot
good and bad, and Ma-chi-ta determined
to rescue tbo former, and leave the latter
behind. So be called to bis frionds to
bring him n young tree, and looking over
head at the sky of that lower world, tho
floor of this, he discovered a crack, and
placed tho young and growing tree imme
diately under it. Then he raised his hands
and prayed, as did all his followers; and as
he prayed the tree grew, until its branches
were thrust through the crevice in tho
lower world sky. Then the people climb*
cd up, in one long streem; still up they
came until all the good were thero. Ma
chi-ta, standing on the brink of tbo crevice
looked down, and saw the tree tilled with
the bad, who were following; then he|
caught the growing ladder by the upper'
boughs, twisted it Ircm its foundation in'
the toil beneath, and threw it over, and the
wicked fell down in a pile of mangled, j
groaning, cursing'humanity. When the
people had spread out through this world'
they found the ceiling, or sky, so low that
they could not walk without stooping, and
they murmured. Then Ma-chi-ta, stand
ing in the very center of this story, placed
hit shoulder against the sky, and lifted it
to where it now is.
Still it wut cold and dark, and the peo>
pie murmured and cursed Ma-chi-ta, and
herald: " Why do you complain ? Bring
me seven basket* of.cotton;" and they
brought him seven basket* of cotton. And
and ho raid : "Bring ma savon virgin*;"
and they brought him seven virgin*. And
he taught the virgin* to weave a wonderful
fabric, which ho held aloft and the breeze
carried it away to the *ky ; and behold ! It
wn* transformed into a full-orbed moon.
Tho same breeze also carried the flocculent
fragment* of cotton to the sky. and 10l
these took the shape of bright tar*. And
■till it wn* cold; and again the people mur
mured, and Muchl-ta cbidod them once
more, And said, "Bring me seven buflelo
robe*;" and they brought him seven buffa
lo robe*. "Hond me seven strong puru
young men;" and they sent him seven
young men, whom ho taught to wuavn u
wonderful fabric ef tho buffalo fur. And
when it wus done, liu held it aloft, and a
whirlwind carried it away to the sky,
where it was transiormed into the *un.

ANCIENT EGYPT
Lecture by Mr. Bayard Taylor at
tSieinwav Hall.
JJr. Itsyurd Tayjur !fft|ir(J,|
befare the General (society of Meuhauic.
*ad Tradesmen at Steiaway Hall on "An
cieul KgypL" The lecture begun with the
general statement that clvilitation is a
great deal older than many of us are will
ing to admit, and that many of the reform*
and change* we claim as original had in
fact thrir origin with tha ancients. The
fsuisla suffrage and tutal alUitiafiCC Wi,v
tncnts were cited a. cases in point; and,
said Mr Taylor, the history of ancient
Eg ypt afT-rds many Illustration* of this
fact. Egypt, continued the lecturer, seem*
to bare been specially created and sat
apart b r (he homo of fOgfe favored race.
Anioi g the wonderful bounties there found
are a eliaiate without storm*, a tempera
lure subject to no extreme*, a toil which i*
kept in constantly g„>od condition by the
Nile, seas on the east and west, protecting
the country front invasion and giving out
let* for commerce, #nd the need* and
poetibilitiea of life are o provided for that
prosperity teem* t* be bound to come
The Kgvpliaat were the first of mankind
that reached what we cH civ.ligation.
For lOtl miles, from Ceiro to Thobe*, lines
were measured aero** the Nile at right
angle*, and the earth, where there were no
evidence* of ruin*, was bored, and relics
of potteries Ac , were unearthed to a depth
of sixty feet, judging from which the cr.t
vltlemer.t|of man in Egypt must date back
a* far a* 10,000 or I'i.OLO year*, The in
scriptions on the numerous monument*
which have been fouusi show that the
Egyptian* ibusl have bad a written lan
guage long before even a tradition of Ihe
art of writing had reached upier countries.
The durability of tbetc monument*, the
care of tho dead in tomb* where no
moUture cTor penetrate* "sari the braalb
lof the mourner*," the scroll* of papyru*
•till intact, and Mavilla * discovery in IK*l
of the great tomb* whero the print* of the
, feet of the ijien who bad carried in corpse*
' 3,T00 year* before, were ail ctlod a* ovi.
deuce* of the lasting quality of Egyptian
work and of tho careful preservation of
antiquities, and Mr. Taylor added, with
1 much feeling, "If Tertian*. Greek*, 1
Christian* and Roman* had not violated
every one of her myriad tomb* and burn
ed the troll* in the po>eion of bar dead
we might poa§e*i to day every stone the
Hgyptia raited c*cry scroll jhcyj
wrote."
Evidence* of Culture and Civiliza
tion. *
There was among tha Egyptians a pura
and lotty appreciation of tha marriage tia.
Women waro treated with respect anj
(reverence. They salon the throne as far
back as the sixth dynasty. The assertion
that woman has always been in subjection
'to men. said Mr. Taylor, iaglaringly false
In Egypt man bad no right which was not
shared with her. Other evidences of the
high degree of culture, refinement and
civilisation are found in theobjecte recent
ly unearthed. Glass vessels. 4.0H0 years
old, almost such as we buy to-day; rush
bottom chairs, glaaed pottery, paint-boxes
chequer-boards, toilet pin-cushions, chil
dren's balls, pomatum-pots, a recipe fori
hair-dye used by a queen of the first dy-1
nasty, recently discovered, all attest the
civilization and progress of the Egyp-I
lians.
The lecturer next touched lightly upon
the Invasion of Egypt by the Sbopberds,
or Tartars, from Asia, who held sway for
600 years, when they wore overthrow n end
the nncie.it Pharonhs re-ascended the
throne, bogintiing what is known us the
"Later Empire," to designate it from the
"Earlier Empire," which ended with the
Shepherds' Invasion. After the expulsion
of the Schpherds tho Egyptians,(for fear of
another invasion became very exclusive
and scaled their country as the Cbineso
and Japanese used to do. There is in the
British Museum a papyrus which tells a
story identical with that related in the
Bible of Joseph and Potiphar's wife. (At
Ibis point Mr. Taylor took occasion to de
ny the report that he had discoecrcd the
original correspondence between Joseph
and Potipbar's wife, and added that, in
the light of recent events, he should proba
bly not publish it if he were to find it.)
The lecturer warned his hearers that the
spirit of ancient Egypt is alive in all who
resist the progress of art, science or any
thing useful to humanity, and concluded
wfl.li the words. "Our duly is to be for
ever seeking, forever unsatisfied." — tf'orMi

MOODY AND SANKKY
A Sertnou ou Heaven at the Itink
Heaven wa* Mr. Moody's theme, and
hi* teal WHS from tho 16th vor*e of tho '>ith
chapter of Deuteronomy, "Look down
from thy holy habitations, from heaven,
and bless thy people Israel, and tho land
which thou hast given u*, a thou swarest
unto our fa hers, a land that floweth with
milk and honey " Mr. Moody prefaced
his remark* by reading thu 1 titii verse of
the 3rd chapter of I'nul * second epistle to
Timothy, "All Scripture is profitable."
Hi* argument was that ii'Uod did not waut

lienvtu
Mr. Moody then went on to tell what
persons the converted will meet in hcav.
en, nearly every statement based on .ome
Scriptural quotation. "Kir.t, there is God
sitting eu bis throne, and Christ either sit
ting or standing Mr. Moody wus not
ertain which —"on God * right hand ''
The disciples are all there and the mar
tyrs. Then the bright array of wbila-rob
e.l, winged angels, singing sweetest songs
around the throne, and the spetikcr here
haxnrdod the guess that every persun on
earth had sotne guardian angel, and ha
hoped that the ILttk was fliled with as ma

Moody said, goto Heaven, and in his re
marks aheut Hie darllnffs itiat die before

stories which set hundreds of women cry

Mr Moody said that Abel sang the tiri
solo in Heaven, the song of redemption,
and the angels wore unable to join m the
chorus.

I formed a resolution a good many year*
ago that ha* been a great help to rr.c, and'
I believe if I am worth touch to the Church
to dav it'* ow ing to thi* reasaitition—that 1
would speak to tome one every day about
thu salvation oi ni* oui It * been a worn,
derful heiu to me. If every person here
to-uigbt should make turn a rctolulion
how many in Philadelphia but would be
invited to Chriit within the next twelve
month*? I was going home one night, a
good many year* ago, praying to bo di
rected. A* 1 wont along 1 taw a young
man under a lamnpoit, and went up and
laid mv hand on mi shoulder and tjwke to
him. lie turned around and curtad me,
and walked away, and the next day he in
i duced una of my friend* to tell me that I
wai doing mora barm than any inan in the
city. Before three monUi* that young man
came to my houte before daylight, on a
cold, anowy morning, and said that he had
been converted, and aiked me U pray for
. him.
A little while ago a Boston merchant,
who wa* in Chicago, came to me one day
and asked me to look out for a family in
which he was interested. I took the ed
dress, and next day went to see them. 1
found tbo ple.-e e saloou and tho man a
jconlrmed infidel. I tried to talk with
him, but be ordered me out and made me
jiu out. (Laughter.] So I wont away and
the next day I went again, and he drove
iin a away again. [Laughter.] The next
day I went again, and he said to me: "Bee
here, young man. you have so much per
severance, and talk to much, I'll make ai
bargain with you If you'll read I'aine's
'Age of Rmhr,' I'll read the Mew Tosta-'
menu" lie had tho best of the bargain,
but I made the agreement, and ho said ho'd
rather see his tons drunkards and his- (
daughters bat lots than see them Christians.
1 tried to get hiin to go to Church w ill) me,j
but ho wouldn't; but at last be saiJ that 1
might have church in this place if I want-1
ed to ; "hut mind, young man " ho added,
"you're not going to do all the talking ;
I'm going to nave something to say my-i
self.' So we arranged it that he and his
friends should have the lint forty-five
minutes, and 1 should have tha last tifloen. j
The next dey, Sunday, I went to hie place,]
taking a voting boy with me, but he wasn't
there. His wife told me lie had gone to,
one of the neighbors, and I.went there.;
There were so many of his ftiotrd* around j
him that he couldn't get them all into liis'
saloon, and in the neighbor's house he had]
two large rooms tilled with Atheists and
Deists, and all kinds of skeptics. They be-!
gan to ask me whether I believed this or'
believed that, but 1 wouldn't answer a
single question, but waited lor my time to
come. When they got to talking they al-|
most came to blows among themselves, for
no two of them believed the same thing.
I never suw such a crowd in uiy life.
When they got through, and their forty
live minutes w ere gone, I got up and said
that 1 was accustomed to open my meet
ings with prayer, and as they hadn't done
it I would. The boy and 1 then got down
on our knees and prayed, the hoy praying
for "the-e wicked people." When we got
up there wasn't a dry oyn among them,
and they began to sneak out of the side
doors. There was no preaching there that
day. But the intblei's children went to
Sunday school, and several of them were
converted ; the man closed his saloon, and
found the Saviour, and when 1 left Chica
go ho was one of the best friends I had
there, and be belong* to the same church
that Ido Now I hope that next week
you'll all bring your friends out, and pra.fj
lor them all the time. Never mind the
sermon— tha sermon isn't of much account,
and we shall have hundreds and thousand*
saved. We hope |lhat thcio won't be u
single soul converted except by the power'
of God. That littla girl down thero may
load souls to Christ this week. She may l
load a father or a brother and shine iu the;
firmament forever.
"If you want to shine," Mr. Moody con
tinued, "as the eternal ages roll on and
roll on. he at work. Only a few years,
and we'll all he gone. For a whole week
we've been talking about work. Next
Sunday afternoon and evening wo will talk
to the tinners, and 1 want you all to pray
l'er the outpouring of liod't spirit," 1
