ilon. Harry White asseverates tbat
the Tribune report of the interview be

somewhat with the other parties to the

believe bim for once.
Our With Tbim.- Doorkeeper Polk,
who was a bigger man than all the
Congressmen put togethor, has been
deposed and General C. W. Field, of

Tbat is right. Whenever Democratic

COX (I 7 KSSWXA I. LhVlT Y.
It is very nppurent from what fol
lows, that sage Congressmen, liko hoys,
will indulge in fun sometimes. Among
the proceeding of that body on Hie
(Jib inal., we find the following: "Mr.
tion of privilege, anil put in nominu
tioa for the position of doorkeeper,
Gen. James Shields, of Missouri, a Dem
ocrat. A long and exciting debate at
once arose upon a point of order, as lu
whether it was a matter of privilege,
Messrs. Uutler and Cox, of New York,
being Ibn principal participants on the
on the discussion. Cox chaffed Butler
mercilessly in his recent friendly ac
tion toward Democrats in the House.
Ho would say to Butler, changing the
languago of the quotation : "While the
lamp holds out to burn the noblest
statesman may return." The Repub
licans onjoyed the scene immensely
and apiilaudcd. Butler stood in the
area in front of the Speaker's chair,
and as Cox continued to turn the laugh
on bitn bo slowly backed toward his
seat on the Republican side. 'Several
Detnocratio members cried out at this
point that, whon Shields was elected
by over a thousand majority to a seat
in the House, from Missouri, General
Butler led the Republicans in exclud
ing bim from his seat and giving it to
a Republican Instead.
. Gonoral Butler, in reply to Cox, said
that when be left the Democratic, par
ly it was a party of honorable mon,
who never put their sins on ft scape
goat to destroy an innocent man. When
they got back that prestige, perhaps
he might return to them. Laughter.
Because he knew General Shields
years ago, ihero was do reason why
justice should not be done now. It was
never too late to do right. Derisive
laughter
In closing, Mr. Butler said tbat bo
supposed that Mr. Cox had had enough
ol'liim some years ago. He did not sup
poso the gentleman would desiro to
engage In a controversy with him
again. This was said in a very depre
cating tone. 'And I grant him the
merry of my silence.'
Mr. Cox (with somo feeling) 1 have
board that a good many times, but 1
don't waut any mercy.
General Butler Shoo fly, don't both
er mo. Slight laughter on both
sides.
This brought Cox to his feet again.
Ho nover knew tbo gentleman from
MusBachnsotts to have any honesty of
wit or to repeat the old wit. He never
knew him to bo independent until
he was beaten in the Salem district,
He proceeded to chaff Duller again.
Ho relerrcd to Butler's Democratic
rocord, and again reforred to his ap
parent intention of returning to the
Democratic party. There was no man
whom ho would more gladly see r
turn lo the right side In politics, Ho
ought to grow in grace. Laughter
Butler, who was standing in front of
the House, said he didn't see anything
in this to reply to. 'Then,1 said Cox,
'go back to your scat and sit down.'
Butler did so, and as he landed in bis
chair, Cox criod out, 'May God have
mercy on your soul.' Groat laughter
Finally, by a party vote of 125 yeas
to 112 nays, the whole subject was
postponed till Monday, and the House
adjourned."
Tin Attorney General in a Box.
Attorney General Lear has been
caught in a "bad box" by the investi
gation of the 119,000 fee paid Simon
ton & Olmstoad. In addition to this
fee, he got 15,000. This be kept to
himself till brought out by the inves
tigation, Then he claimed he had a
right to five per cent, uqdor a law
which gives to tho attorney collecting
a debt due the Commonwealth after
sixty days, nvo per cent, on the
amount collected. But in this caso
tho attorneys collecting wero Simon
ton A Olmstoad, They wero paid ten
per oenL How, then, could the At
torney General claim five per cent
more? Again, if he bad a right to it,
Dy didn't be take the full amount of
five per cent, on 119,000 amounting to
$0,500, Instead ol 15,000 1 The failure
to do so forces the suspioion that be
know he wasn't entitled to it, and tbat
ibis 15,000 was the Attorney General's
"little divvy" in the transaction. The
fact that this officer's conduct will
bear a construction to low as Ibis is
disgraceful to bim, to say the least.
With an ordinary fair set of mon in
powor, he would be forced to trial on
it. But party spirit is so strong with
the majority In the legislature, and
party morality so slow, that be will be
screened and protected rather than
pushed and punished. But boforo the
bar of publio opinion the verdict will
be, "gone to moot Bullard and Gaines."

J ftxiriii it up. Tha Ilurrmburg cor
MSKiiident of the Philadelphia Timet,
of the 12ih, has taken a telescopic view
of I ho political horizon, and he con
cedes that tbo Radicals will nominate
Col. Hoyt lor Governor, und closes his
ijuitu provable lu od-ael trie advantage
the Democrats will have on that issue
wilh Dill at the head of their ticket
The success of Dill in Lycoming and
Delaware, and the defeat af Hopkins
In Cambria and Westmoreland during
the last week, seem to settle the nom
ination of Dill. He is heartily support
ed by all tbo Democratic Senators,
thus giving him joiiv plrength In
ovory section of the State, aud his de
feat ia now scarcely within tho range
of possibility. ' It is almost universally
conceded here on all aides that Hoyt,
Dill and Armstrong will bo Guberna
torial competitors. With three tickets
in the field, the Nationals will concen
trate on tho Legislature, and Arm
strong's friends claim that bo may go
to the Senate through a defeat for
Governor." Wo admire tho enterprise
of this writer. Having nominated tho
Gubernatorial candidates, he might as
well fill up the balance of the tickets
and allow the Convontionists to re
main at home.

The unexpected position of E.iglnnd
as a mere spectator of tho struggle re
cently brought to a temporary conclu
sion, appears to bo owing to tho ago of
the British Primo Minister, who is re
ported to have said a few weeks ago :
I havo the Queen with me, I have the
House of Commons with me, I have
the country with me; if I wero ten
years younger I would change the mnp
of Europe."
A.
Exactly So. Tho oditor of tho Har.
riaburg Independent bits tho nail right
on the bead in this way : As no true
patriot desires a repetition of the frauds
that ocenred in tho South at tho last
general election, It is tho plain duty of.
all citizens to urgp upon Congress the
need of tho formulation during this
session of some reformed plan for choos
ing the President of the United States.
Thus far nothing has been dono bo-
yond tho appointment of committees,
and, unless the new scbemo is at once
agreed upon, it cannot be incorporated
into tho organic law of the land in
lime to be made operative in 1880.
There should be no further delay in
this matter. It is of the first impor
tance, because if nothing is dono the
lite af the nation may be again jeopar
dized, as it was a little more than a
year ago. - Tba danger is really great
er now than it was then, for unless we
bave some plain and severe laws on the
subject, the villainy of the South may
be transferred to the North and West,
and the electoral crookedness may bo
come aa general as the official corrup
tion has been during tho past ten years.
Let ns have a good Electoral law, and
at once.
CoRRicr. The Lancaster Intelligen
eer remarks as follows: "It is not at
all likely that any one will contest the
nomination for Secretary of Internal
Affairs with J.Simpson Africa, the pres
ent very efficient working bead of the
department, as it is quito certain tbat
no one can do so with the faintest pros
pect of success. Men who havo prov
ed themselvos to be good officers are
prisea in those days of official Ineom
potency , and a party tbat has secured
one who is known to be tho right man
in tho right place cannot easily be per
snaded to give him up." We second
the motion, and in proof of what our
contemporary bints at w need but
call the attontion of tho reader to the
gross "incompetency" and crookedness
coming to light in the State Treasury,
Attorney General's and Auditor Gen-
oral's officers, whilo the department
prcsidod over by Mr. Africa for the
past throe years is unassailed in all its
affairs.
A Similar Case. Tbo bloody shirt
organs bave sot up "a buo and cry'
over the appointment of "a confederate
Brigadier," as Doorkeeper. The cili
tor of the Harrisliurg Patriot bits these
disturbers of tbe publio peace right un
der the belt in this way : "A Confed
erate Colonel occupies a scat in the
Republican administration of Mr.
Hayes. He is the dispenser of all the
post office patronage for which good
and loyal Republican manifest so much
appetite. Why is not an outcry kept
up about this appointment? Is it be
cause Postmaster General Key was a
less skillful soldier and did less harm
to the Union than Doorkeeper Field T
Such a reason might bav some weight
with General Butler, but it would have
none with generous and manly oppo-
nents. Chivalrous foes will only esteem
the more tbe man wbo proves himself
worthy, of fhs ir steel."

Mary Doubles on Dawes. Mary is
one of tbo Capitul characters and stirs
things np occasionally. With her
sharp pen she wnito up thai night in
the United States Senate when six
toon Senators wero on a drunk, al
though she graciously forbore mention
ing any names with certainty. Dawes,
of Massachusetts, wrote to one of bis
constituents that her story waa not
truo, not even "of one Senator, much
less sixteen." This challenge to bur
verauity put the little woman on her
mottle, and this week, in the Independ
ent, sho reports that six Senators wero
"positively drunk," and sixteen or
twenty showed unmistakably that they
bad taken mora liquor than was good
for them ; she knows their names too,
and only refrains from tolling them out
of regard for tho womon wbo bear
them; men who will go into tho Sen
ate chamber drunk havo no claim on
her consideration. Sho admits thai
tho whole sixteen were not "beastly"
drunk, but six wore, and the other doa
en were Jolly drunk. On iho whole
sho says a majority of the Senate are
not worthy of resicx-t personally or
Legislatively.

date forjudge, Messrs. Kurst and Ma
Cormick are clearly acting within tho
scope of their lawful pnviloges, and
they will doubtless do tbe most good
to tho publio tbat tboy are in any way
capable of by being candidates against
Judge Mayer. They will call out tbo
often sluggish sentiment that believes
in the sanctity of tbe temple of justice
and appreciates tbat a pure and inde
pendent judiciary is the ealety of all,
and the result will fcj .tbe triumphant
re election ol tbe admittedly competent
and upright Judge whose commission
is disputed by the political placeman.
It would be creditable to the whole
people of tho district tf tboy wero to
re-elect Judge Mayer by a unanimous
vote, as the people or ttils city (lid for
Judges Allison, Pierce and Fell, Repub
licans, and Judini Ludlow. Democrat :
but if that can't bo done, they will do
the next best thing within thoir pow
er, by giving him live thousand or so
Majority over any one wbo undertakes
lo summon tbe tricks of tho politician
to swing himself on to the bench."
More Mollies Jailed. Surbvrt,
April 13. Eight Mollis Maguires were
brought here from Sbamokin and
lodged in jail by the Reading Coal and
Iron Police. Their names are Peter
McMunus, an ex-bodvmuslor; John
O'Neil, of Coal Run ; Edward Huffy
and Andrew Dunlovy, of Green Ridgo ;
Robert Crawford, of Ml. Carmol ; J as
Dormer, of Locust Gap; James Camp
bell, of Excelsior, and James Ilalliban,
of Mabanoy City. McManuiandO'Nivl
are charged with the murder of Coro
ner Frederick llessor, of Northumber
land county, in December, 1874, the
former being body master of Sbamokin
Division A. O. H. at Ibe time Uesser
had become obnoxious to tbo Mollies,

Lancaster Colliery, where ho was sub
sequently employed as watchman.
McManus and O'Neil aro residents of
Coal Run and working for the Mineral
Railroad and Mining Company, The
other six Mollies are charged wilh
the burning of Scbwenck'a breaker,

A Heavy Defalcat'on Denver,
Col., April 10. It is publicly announc
ed bore that H. A.McIntira, President
of tb First National Bank of Lake
City, and Vice President of the Fiist
National Bank of Colorado Springs,
Col., bav absconded with seventy
thousand dollars. The first disclosures
were made recently and showed that
Mclntire bad in tb interim following
the death of the late President of the
bank at Colorado Springs, and before
tbe vacancy waa supplied, secured
from the deposits of this bank between
(30.000 and 140,000. In addition to
this he has hypothecated stock of the
two banks with which be was con
nected amounting to 125,000. It is
feared that tbe effect upon tbe Lake
City Bank will be irreparable and tbat
further disclosures will swell the esti
mate already made. '
An AwruL Swindle. S. A. Chase,
Treasurer or the Fall River (Mass.)
Union Mills Manufacturing Company,
is missing. His account ia abort over
four hundred thoutani dollart. He did
business under tbe new system of book-
kocping the cashier credits himself
with everything and charge himself
with aothing. Ol course Chase, tb
defaulting Treasurer, occupiod a bigh
social position, ia about fllty-clght
year of age, and has boon resident
of Fall River aince 1822.- He waa a
member of the House in 1804, and of
tbo State Senate in 1867 and 1863.
Beside being Treasurer of the Union
Mills, he waa President of the Second
National Bank, and of tbe Five Cent
Savings Bank.
Divided Tbe bill dividing Lnxerne

division ha been agitated for forty
years, and must resell in much good

It has been publicly stated that tbe visit
of Major tteneral Hancock lo New Or
leans in February was made by lha re
quest of tho President, and was for the
purposo of InmrotMlirvr wilh Oownmr
following in iMlcrui.ee lo inia matter is
obtained Irom a source believed to be
possessed of the facts.
After the verdict of guilty in A odor
son's case it was authoritatively given
out from tho Whilo House that the
President bad determined to interlere,
and a preliminary had written a letter
to tbe Attorney Geuerul requesting bim
to consult authorities and suggest tbe
proper method of action. .. ,
Iho Attorney General, aftur exami
nation, discovered that the Fedunl
Government really could do nothing,
aud so informed tbo President. It was
at this juncture, so it is said, that a Bug
irostion was made to tbe President thai
Gen. Hancock would be a good man to
send to New Orleans to plead for An
derson ; thai he und Governor Nicli
oils wero cluHsmuto at West Point,
and were friends ; and that tiie people
of Now Orleans were very fund ol bim,
and would listen to his counsel. A
moRsonger was accordingly sent loGen.
Hancock's headquarters in Now York
to sound bim on the suhjoci. It is rep
resented that Gen. Hancock was very
avers to having anything to do wilb
the matter, and tbat he finally coiwen
ted solely as a matter ot personal con
sideration for tbo wishes of the Presi
dent, with whom he had associated in
army service.
He wont to New Orleans and re
mained there about two weeks, during
which time be wa tbe recipient of Iho
most profuse social attenliona,althougb,
probably out of deference lo bis own
I wishes, very little public notice was
lanen 01 nts presence In the city. He
bad servers! lengthy interviews with
Gov. Niuholls, and it ia said finally ob
Mined from him an assurance that be
would pardon Andui sou if the Supremo
Court of tho Slate did not reverse the
action ol the lower court. Tbis infor
mation was promptly communicated to
the authorities here. His misson end
ed, Gen. Hancock returned to New
York. It is proper to stale that while
the above is thought to bo substantial
ly correct it is not furnished by eilbor
of the principals in the affair.
It is alleged that since his return
Gon. Hancock ia more convinced than
before tbat bia scruples against under
taking a political mission of such char
actor were well founded, but holds that
under tho circumstances ho could do
no less than accede to tbe request made
of him. It i undoubtedly an unpre
cedented act, oven in this era of mak
ing precedents, for tho head of the Gov
ernment at Washington to send a
special envoy to treat with the autho
rities of a Stato in reference to tbe ad
ministration of criminal justice in thai
Stato. Baltimore Hun.
A IIoiSE Divided. If anything
were needood to prove that retribution
froquuntly follow the infraction of the
moral code, wo have it in the condition
of tbe Had iced party. A little over onn
year baa passed away since Ibe rank
and filo of that party sustained and ap
plauded tbo actions of tho scoundrels of
the Louisiana lioturning Board in their
work of forgery and fraud which t ub
minated in the iluyesusurpation. Now
we find Cbandlur, Conkling, Blaine,
Bowe, Cameron and the rest of tbe
leaders wbo bad a band in the crime,
bandod togotber to hunt down the vory
instrument they worked so hard to foist
into the Piosidential chair. For a
long timo thero has been multeringsof
tne storm beard, but only a day or two
since it broko out in violence in the
Senate. Uowo, a itadical mom bur of
tbat body delivered a most bitter and
scathing denunciation of tlares. in
which be accused him of manifold crimes
against bis party and abused him per
sonally, even going ao tar aa to assert
mat be, ilayea, waa better fitted to bo
aotoaebman than a statesman. All of
which diatribe wa keenly rolisbed by
the Democratic members wbo enjoyed
this falling out among the knaves who
stole tb Presidency. Old Father Abe
it waa, we believe, wbo placed on rec
ord tbe sayings tbat "A bouse divided
against itself must fall," and the truth
ot the aphorism is apparent when we
look at the condition of the Radical
party wbicb thro' its internal divisions
gives out evidence that it will speedily
loner 10 lis la 1 1.
A 8qcaRI Dorxii. The Radicals
bav tbeir compass pretty well boxed
in tb western part of tbe State this
fall. Chief Justice A gnew, resides in
Beaver, and tbe late defeated Judge
Slerrett, is a Pittsburger. They are
both candidates for Supreme Judge.
This ai tbe shape the Radicals of But
ler county loond things in theotber day
when they assembled to elect delegates
to their State Convention. It was a
poser, but they instructed their dele
gate to vote for Judgo Mcjunkin who
is not a candidato under any circum
stances, but a neighbor to both the
other candidate. The Radicals in that
section of the Slate teem to be crazy
on the Supreme Judge question since
the Democrats elected Judgo Trunkcy,
Improved Coinaoi. A correspond
ent for the Baltimore Sun of Friday
last, saya a change baa been made in
the coinage of the silver dollar. The
much abused csgle ia still there, but
below tbe general surfaoo ol the coin,
Tb Goddess of Liberty's bead on tbe
other side ha also been depressed lo
prevent constant friction and wearing
away. Tbe die are working better
now than at first, consequently the
coins issued lately bave a smoother ap
pcarano and are of much finer finish
than those first turned out of the mint.

On Monday of last week an election
was held at New Castle, Pa., and this
is the report thereof aa made by the

waa divided bolweto Ibe caudidotae oa tbo Ueia

maiurd true to Ibcir ticket throughout, ablla the
Rrpublie.aa af the argaolaaiioo doeorled belr
party, went beok oa their prureeeioa, and ruled
Ibe airtight hepublleoo ticket
Wbea the greeabeoh Dcatocrata leera aad bo

taenoa and retura to tba patty where they prup
erly belong, aud a bare aAev A. eaa aevoiuptiah
anything tuwarde aurronoy reform.
And thai is just tbe way tbe Itepub
licau leaders aru arranging to manipu
late tbe election iu many counties of
Pennsylvania next fall. When an is
sue is of a political character the Re-J
publicans rarely cut loose from llieirl
party, for more than a decade of
years they have seen tbe currency ol
tilt country deranged and business
crippled, and yet they do not number
one iu ten of tboee wbo mako up tbe
Greenback party. Wo are fully aware
tbat tho Nationals have among them
some good and true men who have for
evor left the Republican ranks, but
they are so few a to be of little im
portance, in a numerical sense. The
truth is that the average Republican
permits the acknowledged leaders of
his party to exerc ise too great an influ
enco over him. And so tbo loaders get
the offices, they aro satisfied, no mat
ter bow absurdly the rank und file
may act.
Braiilev, The Philadelphia Record
in alluding to this public character says:
Judge Bradlor, of the Supreme
Court of tho United States, wbo became
conspicuous by reason of his prominent
connection wilh the Electoral Commis
sion, is likely to pass under a cloud
Tbo sub committco of tho House of
Representatives having certain charges
against his judicial action under inves
tigation, it is said, have gained suffl
cietit information against him to justi
ly bis impeachment. Mr. Hayes is
peculiarly unfortunate respecting tho
character and conduct of the men most
prominent in making bim President,
after tho pcoplo had spoken at the polls.
It would bo a pity if Justice Bradley
should prove to have prostituted his
high office, and we hope that he will
be able to thoroughly vindicate bis offi
cial conduct. Though it is more than
suspoctod that be was appointed as an
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court
in pursuance of an understanding that
ho would vote to reverse a former de
cision of that tribunal on the lugal-tcn
dor question, yet it was hoped that be
would prove tolorably honest on tho
whole, and it would he a sad thing if
it should be proved that he has been
corrupt in other matters. The indica
tions, wo regret to soy, apear to be
unfavorable to bis judicial virtue.

Kehoe Respited. Uarrisburo,
April 12, tbe Board of Pardons were
in consultation today for the purposo
of disposing of tho aplication of Jack
Kohoe for commutation of the death
sontence to imprisonment for life. Af
ter reading the testimony and examin
ing the affidavits and statements made
before the board on Tuesday they woro
unprepared to decide the case and ad
journed until the first Tuesday in May,
when the application will be rofusod or
granted. A Kehoe's execution was
fixed lor Thursday next tbe Governor
baa recalled the death warrant in or
der to enable a furlhcr consideration of
tb case. Tbe Governor also, to-day,
signed the second death warrantor
Dennis Donnelly, who wa to be hang
ed with Kehoe. Th execution has
been postponed until the 22d of May.
Both cases will probably bo considered
by the Pardon Board in May, and
should the decision be unfavorable to
the murderers they will be hanged to
gether. Mori Reform. It remains for tbe
Massachusetts Legislature to invent a
new plan to keep people out of drink
