Is Kemble any better than Tweed?
Tweed was the corruptor of the New
York legislature and the planderer of
New York city. Kemble is the corrupt-
or of the Pennsylvania legislature and
one of the ring who plunder the city of
Philadelphia. Kemble is to Pennsy!l
vania and Philadelphia, what Tweed
was to New York city and state. Tweed
was prosecuted to the end and had to
make restitution and go to jail for bis
deeds against the people. Why then
should Kemble be pardoned who is no
better?
We will wait and see whether these

it, we might say that were nothing.

In Washington the feeling between
he third-termers and Blaine men in
] circles is daily growing more
The former are beginning to in-
connection with the Mulligan letters,
railroad bonds, Jay Gould and jobs in
general. The Blaine men sre retaliat
ing with copious references to the num-
erous scandals of Grant's administration.
They are also full of sneers at Grant's
electioneering scheme in the South. It
is evident the Blaineites are getting ner~
vous over the success of Grant's visit in
Texas, and the capture of the Texas
delegation to Chicago, and his prospects
of a similar result in Arkansas and other
Southern States. This feature of the
ration is causing much comment in
ical circles.
The fact is, both factions are telling
nothing but the truth about each other.

P
Says the Patriot: There are some as-
pects in which the history of the appli~
cation of Messrs, Kemble, Rumberger,
Salter, Crawford and Petroff for pardon
presents some rather singular features.
The shrewd and adroit attorneys who
defended them would hardly have made
the mistake of recommending them to
plead guilty if they bad not been assur-
ed that they would be speedily pardon
ed. Nor would they bave committed
the blunder of applying for a previous
pardon if they bad not believed that the
application would be granted. It isevi~
dent that there was a slip somewhere in
the programme. Did any member of
the board of pardons change his mind
at any time after a pardon was soggest-
ed? Was ita fear that the republican
party would suffer if the pardon were
granted that influenced any member of
the board?
To the first of these questions we can
wake no answer except that it is com
monly reported that some of the attorn-
eys for the defendants claimed that
they had been assured of a pardon. The
other can be truthfully answered in the
affirmative. Unquestionably the ap-
prehension that the republican party
would be injured by the granting of a
pardon had a restraining effect upon the
board of pardons. But who is responsi~
ble for the escape of the fugitives?
Whose fault is it that the law has not
been executed upon them? If the re-
publican leaders meant to clear their
skirts of all responsibility in the matter
they should have taken care that the
ends of justice were not defeated as they
have been by the flight of the defend-
ants,

The report of the Committee on the
Depression of Labor, of which Hendrick
B. Wright is Chairman, has been sub-
mitted to the House, but, owing to the
deficiency in the appropriation, has not
yet been printed. It will make quite a
volumnious document. The report
shows that there are 160,000 Chinamen
west of the Sierra Nevadas, besides from
1,500 to 2,000 Chinese women of the
vilest character, who are slaves. These
people—who are nearly all slaves, and
practically belong to the Six Companies
—pay less taxes then the Chinese Crim-
inal expenses amount to, and send $100,
000 a day, $3,000,000 a month, and $40,-
000,000 a year, to China. The money
paid them in thirty years, the Commit~
tee find, has reached $600,000,000; and
. yet they buy no land, and spend no
money except for a little coarse food,
because they get their rice from China.
The testimony shows that they have;ruin-
ed shoe~making, shirt-making, the man-
ufacture of cigars, harness, &c., and have
almost driven out of employment all
white plasterers, miners, and farm hands

When the late BR. W, Mackey was State

During his official career, five per cent
gold bearing State bonds were
converted into six
rency bonds and he made a good for~
tune by the operation. August Belmont
an agent of the Rothehilds, protested
against this violation of contract in a
letter to Kemble, when the latter ad-
dressed to bim a communication in
which he called him a “Shylock.” Sev
eral years afterward he apologized to
Mr. Belmont for the insult offered him.
Kemble has been one of the most in-
fluential republican politicians in the
State, and for a number of yeafs was a
member ofthe republican National Com-
mittee, resigning a few months ago to
make way for Senator Cameron, During
the session of the last Legislature he

One more effort has been made in
Congress this week to get another com-
mittee to sit on the Washington monu-

or doing something else with it. Itis
strange that while monuments to other

hang about those proposed to Washing

ton was, voted to raise a monument to
him. They began to raise funds, and,
after ten years’ exertion, they succeed in
getting about $3.500 toward the §150,000
proposed. Then, in despair, they lel
the money to grow on interest, and, by
judicious investments, it increased, as
capital will by being constantly turned
over, until at last time did for it what
subscriptions would not. In the hall
century from 1825 to 1875 it grew in this
way from $6,000 to over $100,000, so that
in the course of time the monument will
probably be built, It would bean inter-
esting study to find out how many reso
lutions, in different parts of the country
have been made to erect monuments to
Washington, and how many have failed
more completely, if less conspicnousiy

The announcement that Mr, William
fH. Vanderbilt has just been remitted
from the United States treasury the sum
of $310,500, which is three months’ in-
terest on the $31,050,000 of 4 per cent.
bonds which he holds, is enough to
make communists out of almost any one.
The reflection that Mr. Vanderbilt's
other resources are such that he does
not need to spend a cent of this revenue
and can add it without delay to his
incipal
pr Fen cent. bonds at the end of the
year, is not of a quieting nature. Com-
pound the interest on Mr. Vanderbilt's
bonds for the next thirty years and he
will probably live that long—and you
have a consolidated money power in one
family, that might pull down or build up
a nation. Then these thirty millions
represent but a small portion of the
Vanderbilt wealth, which in railroad
stocks and bonds and real estate is
roughly estimated $130,000,000. William
H. Vanderbilt's management of the es-
tate fully sustains the confidence which
the old commodore felt in his thrifty
son, and which was so touchingly ex-
pressed on a certain occasion when the
elder Vanderbilt was undergoing a good
deal of abuse for swindling a certain
New York town out of a large sum of
money. It was then broadly intimated
by a delegation of citizens from the town
in question that Vanderbilt bad won
his vast fortune by his meanness. The
commodore did not deny it. “But I
have one very great consolation, gentle-
men,” said he; “I shall leave it all to a
d—d sight meaner man than I am!”
The Chicago Times preaches that such
fortunes are not consoling to the peohle
of this country, in this philosophic
way:
They see in it the entrance of a new
element into our social economy. The
excellent laws of social order sanctioned
by the experience of all previous ages,
which condemn all interference with
individual accumulation, appear likely
to be impeached by the growth of this
single enormous fortune. Hitherto
great accumulations of this sort have bes
come scattered in time by the operas
tions of natural laws. Spendthrift sons
haye dispersed what miserly fathers
have accamulated. But in the Vander
bilt family the spendthrifts do not get a
chance to spend the money, and a third
generation of misers is already spring
ing up to hoard and increase the accom.
ulations of the elder generations. The
Vanderbilt fortune stands alone in its
peculiar features, and the time may
come when its growth may need speciat
treatment. The Rothschilds fortune,
which the European governments fund
not only harmless, but useful to them in
their emergencies, affords no parallel to
the Vanderbilt fortune, except in its
dimensions, It is not employed in works
of corruption; it buys no legislators and
makes no laws. It is not employed in
imperiling the commercial enterprises
of other men, and, instead of menacing
the safety or tranquility of any State, it
is the prop of more than one.

Sandusky, O., March 80.—A terrible
tragedy occurred to-day in Perkins towns
ship, this ceunty, resulting in the death of
one man and the serious wounding of an
other. Hope Tucker, aged fitty-six, a
bachelor resident of Perkins, had for the
past five years been mentally deranged,
and sometime ago his relatives semt to
Michigan for Horace Wood, bis nephew,
to come and take care of him. No one
could do anything with Tucker but Weod
whom he liked yery much.
To-day Wood and Tucker were stand-
ing in the kitchen of Tucker's residence,
when Tucker stealthly approached him
from behind and plunged a seven inch
butcher-knife into his back between the
shoulders, the blade entering five inches
and breaking off one inch below the sur-
face of the flesh, Woed turned upon
Tucker and threw htm to the floor. The
maniac made a puss at Wood with the
broken knife, and cut the hands of Mrs,
Wood while she was attempting to take
the knife away from him,
Cries for assistance breught the neigh:
bors, who were in the nct of tying the
madman while Wood held him, when it
was discovered that Tacker was dead,
Wood's pressure on his throat having
strangled him, Coroner Gillard, of this
city, was sent for, and made an investiga-
tion, but held no inquest. Wood is not
blamed, the killing having been in self]
defense and unintentional. The broken
knife-blade has been pulled from Wood's
back, and he will probably recover.

THE GALLOWS.
‘OF ELECTRIC LIGHT
VEGETATION.
From the London Times.
At the meeting of the Royal Soci
lety last evening (March 4) Dr C. W
Siemens, F. R. 8, gave a detailed
|description of some experiments upon
the above subject which have been con-
ducted during the last two months at
‘his house at Sherwood, and exhibited
specimens. The method pursued was
{to plant quick-growing seeds and
| plants, such as mustard, carrots, |
{swedes, beans, cucumbers, and melons,
{in pots, and these pots were divided
{into four groups, one of which was
UPON
1
kept entirely in the dark, one was ex-
| posed to the influence of the electric
{light only, one to the influence of day-
ight only, and one to daylight and
lectric light in succession,
[tric light was applied for six
each evening— from 5 to 11—and the
plants were then left in darkness dar
ing the ramainder of the night. The]
general result was that the plants kept]
i
{@
»
i
exposed to electric light only or to
daylight only throve about equally;
and those exposed to both day and
electric light throve far better than
either, the specimens of mustard and]
of carrots exhibited to the society]
showing this difference in a very re-
markable way.
Dr. Siemens only considers himself
as yet on the threshold of the investi
gation, but thinks the experiments alt
ready made are sufficient to justify
the following conclusions: 1. That e
lectric light is efficacious in producing |
chlorophyl in the leaves of plants, and
lectric centre of light equal to 1,400
candles placed at a distance of two
light at this season of the year; but
that more economical effects can be.
obtained by more powerful light cen
tres. 3. That the carbonic acid and +
nitrogenous compounds generated in’
diminutive quantities in the electric
arc produce no sensible deleterious ef
fects upon plants enclosed in the same]
to require a period of rest during the!
twenty-four hours of the day, buti
make increased and vigorous pro-|,
gress if subjected during daytime to
sunlight and during the night to elec-|,
tric light, 5. That the radiation of}
heat from powerful electric arcs can!
be made available to counteract the’;
effect of night frost, and is likely to]
promote the setting and ripening of
fruit in the open air, 6. That while
under the influence of electric light
plants can sustain increased stove heat
without collapsing, a circumstance fa-|
vorable to forcing by electric light.
7. That the expense of electric-hor
ticulture depends mainly upon the
cost of mechanical energy, and is very
moderate where natural sources of
such energy, such as waterfalls, can
be made available.
Before concluding his observations,
Dr. Siemens placed a pot of budding
tulips in the full brightness of an elec-
tric lamp in the meeting room, and in
about forty minutes the buds kad ex-
panded into full bloom,
