Tin RionT Man. Hon. James T.
Wickersbam bas been re-appointed by
Gov. Hartrantt, Superintendent of
Publio Instruction, and unanimously
confirmed by the State Senate. Ho is
without doubt the best educator in the
State, and deserves the compliment
beslowod upon him by the Governor
and the Senate. He bas been guilty
of aomo "colored" freaks, "too numer
ous to montion ;" but we are willing to
overlook tbcm, and allow ago and ex
perience to teach him losaona ia that
rase be cannot ignore. Tha African ia
not a Caucasian, aad all the Lincoln
Institute in the world cannot effect the
change, w care not how bag the
flntt.
HOW IT HURTS.
Tho sublime arrognnro of tho Kadi
oal, loyal, negro jmrty manifests al
ways 011 ovory opportunity, an Ignore
ance that seemed to ucliovo itself toil ml'
od on tlio itiounluiiis of .uwrlusting.
This arrogant party defied tho peo
ple; held itself aloof from all contami
nating association with while Demo
crats, as not "loyal ;" conducted itself
on tho doctrine of "holier than thou,"
in all respect with everybody not In
tho "rings ;" superb, grand, poworful,
negro troops, "the army," the cash, all
in band, this arrogant .Radical party
never dreamed of a hereafter. Grant,
the idol of this party, witb his aids,
private secretaries, and hangers-on
came to tho Loyal Iieague House, was
dinod and wined, and had the best
cigars, and received the homage of tho
faithful contractors, office-holders, ol-fice-seekors,
and tho while he smoked.
Io was introduood to aspiring young
Itnds, who shook hands with Grant,
and then witb the negro waiters, to
show bis faith in the "brotherhood of
man," and his detestation ol a white Dem
ocrat. Colonels, Majors, Captains, (Jon
erals wore as plenty at these Loyal
League roceptioaa as leaves on the trees
in summer time. It was glorious. Car
riage.! wore called, and th j royal party
drove hero and there, condosoondlng
to look on the people out of the car
riago windows, as a Ring look on his
subjects. A box of cigars was sent
"for tho President," a house, a horso.a
anything. Theso great statesmen act
ad as if there was not mortality in
greatness.
Look now I This arrogant, negro,
loyal, Radical party and Us august
leader, and Babs and Hoiks, and gang
are dospised by the people Tho Loy
al Lcaguo House is shut against them.
No Hugs are hung out over tho cntlro
front of tho League when Grant come
to Philadelphia. Instead of Majors,
Colonels, Generals, there are to be se
cret deputy Sergeants-at-Arms witb
subpoenas to find who, knowing, will
toll the truth. This is the beginning
of the hereafter. ,
The next pleasure journey, a Iree
rido, in a Pullman car, this party will
take is to bo from the White IIouso to

A Luiut Semtkncb. McKeo, of the
St. Louis Globe, who was convlotod
tomo months ago of being in the whis
ky ring, has been sentenced to pay a
fine of 110,000 and bo imprisoned two
yoars in the countjr Jail. This is
heavy punishment for an eminently re
spectable and influential geutloman, a
deacon in tho church, a prominent
leader in politics, and proprietor of tho
principal Republican organ west of the
Mississippi. . But thoro has been alto
gether too much robbery of tho gov
ernment by such respectublo people,
and the lesson of Doacon MoKee's dis
grace must provo wholesome. This
lays another first-class hypocrite on
tbe shelf for future reflection. This
Grant editor made 175,000 out of I
"crooked whisky." Tbe Judgo should
have mado him refund the whole
amount. A pretty business for a
Christian Rutjwmsn" In Angagw in
But, tbon, be saw that a number of bis
brethren bad filled their pockets with
Credit Mobilier stock, and not having
a chance at that game, stimulated him
self and frionds witb "crooked whisky'

Tbe diplomatic appropaiation bill,
as passed by the House, restoring the
expenditures of tbo consular and diplo
matic service Io something nearer the
standard of outlay before the govern
ment went out of tbo bunds of the
Democracy, was amended by tbo Sen
ate so that there was no retrenchment
in it The people are carelully noting
tho continual struggle of the party in
power to maintain tho govornment at
war rates. No heed is paid to tho col
lapse ot business, the falling off In tbe
receipts of the treasury, the private
suffering ondurod in all parts of tho
country sinco the panic ol 1873. Tbe
capacity for amendment aoems to bavo
been lost to the Republican party. It
must bo driven from power boforo tbe
country Is entirely bankrupted by tbe

while ut the side unit

and ombloms. The Irtcliinery, which
is niiile complicated, li operated by a
siinng similar to thosV used in a clock.
When it is set ill million a miniature
cannon is lired, a bill ia tolled, and a
curluin suspended ajroHs the luce of
tho cabinet rises slo ly, bringing to
view the tomb und onliuel soldiers.
The lutter stiiud nt in "order." In
tho course of u iiiinii or so the tomb
opens, a lite-simile of die father ol his
country arises thcruf'om. Simultan
eously the soldiers lice toward tbe
tomb and present ariis, and Washing

tion. Then there deijeeuds from tho
clouds an American tglo, holding in
its talons a stall', on aio und of which
is un Americun nag and upon the

carrying in its beukii laurel wreath,

The machinery continues to revolve
and the seuue it ivversed und repealed
as often as it i desired, each represen
tation requiring abuut three minutus.
The figures are mado on a sculo ol
about three inches to tbu foot; the
heads wore carved by Mr. Julius Mel
chore and the bodies are minutely cor
rcct and properly proportioned. Tbe
guns carried by the soldiers are in ox-

the costume of the soldiers is pattern

A MxTimnisT Camp BunHKD. At
midnight of tho 22d tho Methodist
camp meeting grounds nt larontum
somo twenty miles from Pittsburgh
were completely desolated by nn in
cendiary fire, involving a loss of f 50,
000, The number of buildinirs erected
on the grounds was 156, all but about
half a dozen of theso being bousea or
cottages occupied by members of tho
camp meeting association. The cot
tsges were all built by families occupy
ing them, they paying rent to tho as
sociation for thu into ol the grounds, so
that tho loss w ill mostly lull on mill
vidtmls rather than on tho association
as ft bod. Tho houses average in
value about f 100, though some of tbe
finest wore worth pretty well on to
$1,000. Many of the houses were
furnished, tho occupants loaving their
furniture there during the winter.
the grounds proper embrace upward
of fourteen acres, being a level plateau
wuu ravines on tbo cast, west and
north sides, tho entrance being on the
south side, tho main road from Taren
tum, leading directly to tho camp.
Tbe camp was one of the finest that
could be imagined, the plateau being
covered witii immense forest treos,
somo of which were fully two foot in
diameter. Groat preparations wore
being mado for a national camp moot
ing on tho 7th ot August, but it is
feared tbe grove bas been so badly in
ju red that it will be impossible to hold
tho meeting thoro.
An I'ntsnabli Guound. Gen. Bel
knap's rejoinder to tho replication of
tbe House of Representatives ia based
on ono ground which is clearly unten
able. It is that bis resignation was in
duced by a suggestion mado to him by
Mr. Clymer that by resigning ho
oould osuapo Impeachment, Mr. Cly
mer is a member of the llouso of Rep
resentatives ami Chairman of tho Com
mitteo of tho llouso before which Mr.
Marsh's testimony against Mr. Belknap
was givon, and Mr. Ilclknap contends
that tho House is in good luith bound
by thin suggestion of Mr. Clymer.
This is very weak. The power ol im
peachment is vested In the House. It
cannot bo divested by any agreement
of 0110 ot its members oven It the
agreement were positive, while here it
is nut proloridod to havo been more
than a suggestion, We are surprised
at such u plea by the eminent counsel
who defend Mr. Ilclknap. Tbo gal
lant and heroic Secretary of War now
says that although, to quiet things, ho
once offered to confess, yet in fact ho
is not guilty at all. He puts all the
blamo on his wifo. Tho woman ate ;
but although tho woman tempted bim,
ho did not eat at all. Fasting Bulknapl
Tlio returns of tlio Bureau of Statis
tics for tho month of March, just pub
lished, show a reduction in the imports
of tho country of about twouty por
cent, ns compared with the same month
ot 1875, tho vnlue of tho receipts of
merchandise boing $ 14,222, Ru") this
year and 155,10(1,417 In 1H75. Tho
oxparls, howovor, show an increase of
about Hi por cent, i ho currency val

54,572,001 in 1875. Tbe total imports,
specie included, for the nine months of
the finciil year, ending with March,
show a docreaso ol olevon and a half
per cent., as compared with tho samo
period of tho preceding fiscal year.
The gold value 01 tho exports of do
mestic produce for tho nine months It
1302.200,000, against 1388,600, for tho
corresponding months of the previous
year. Tho tott uf imports and cx-
fmrtt, tpecio In both case Included,

of 182,800,000 of exports over im
parts, on tho lilno months trade,
compared with a like surplus of $12,
000.000 in tho same period of the pre
ceding fiscal year.
An important point Is made against
Belknap by tbe Impeachment mana
gers. They have learned that be drew
pay at Secretary ot War lor two lull
days in Muroh, inoluding tbo wholo of
the day euding March 2, at midnight,
and that he rcooivod pay fir tho samo.
Tbit waa a practical acknowledgment
that tho law rceognir.es no parts of
days, and tho Impeachment resolutions
having boon adopted on tha afternoon
ol tho 2d, the same principle would
aoom to settle it that ha waa an officer
of tho government, and therefore Im
peachable at tbe timo he wu actuary
impeached. '
