THE DEMOCRAT!! OF TUB HOl'HE IMPALE
THE DEMAIlOni'g.
In tb'o lluune, on Tburetluy, in ro
spnnso to Ben Butler's trick of having
the Republicans vote for a Democratic
soldier outside of tho regular caucus
nominee, Mr. Clymer, of Pennsylvania,
suiil :
Our experience in the past has not
been moHt fortunate, and wo are hero to
day to endeavor lo repair past misfor
tunes. The (fentleman from Wawa
chuHctts (Mr. Butler) would bave us
elect a person of his choosing. I will
join with him in doing all honor to the
man who served in two wars, who was
a Senator from two Slates, and who
in every relation of life has performed
his duties tttithfully and well. Let us
ask the gentleman' who has spoken
about the pension to be granted to
General Shields whother he knows the
fact tbut within tho last fivo weeks,
while the matter was pending in the
Senate committee, the pension was
increased Irom thirty dollurg to fifty
dollars, on tho ground, in proof before
Unit committeo, that Shields was not
only personally disabled so that he
could not earn a livelihood, but that,
in addition he required the services of
some one to take care ol bim. Does
he not know that that was the ground
on which the pension was increased?
Now I say to the gentleman from
Massachusetts that, when that bill
shall come up, I will join with him in
granting the request ol (ioneral Shields
to make it one hundred dollars , and I
will go farther: 1 will, if tho gentle
man will join me, vote for a bill to re
store bitn to his placo on the retired
lint of the army, which will give him
(3,000 a year for his life. I will go
farther, and voto to pay him for tho
services which be would have renderod
in that Congress Irom whioh ho was
turned out, through elected by a ma
jority of thousands, by the Republican
party, headed by the gentleman from
Massachusetts. Applause on the floor
and in the galleries. 1 wish to say
to the gentleman that I fear the Greeks
bearing gills. Laughter. 1 do not
propose, as a member of the majority,
lliut he shall dictato who shall be our
officers.
V hon in the past history of tho gen
tleman has he honored the soldier
when that soldier wus a Democrat?
Did not you and thoso that followed
drag McClellan in digrace and shame
from the army? Did you not cant
U uncock into exile I When all along
the whole lino of glorious men wbo
suffered for the Union cause havo you
honored them if they were Democrats r
Never in all your history ; and never
would you, if you did not conceive that
at this hour you could drive wedge
into tho Democratic party and rend it
in pieces. We are neither to be con
trolled nor frightened; and when the
gentleman appeals to me and others
from Pennsylvania, 1 tell bim that the
red flag which he attempts to flaunt
in our eyes has no terror for me or for
the people which I represent. Among
them the war is ended. To them peace
has come, and no agitation such as tho
gentleman from Massachusetts would
givo rise to-day could drivo them from
their instincts.
Mr. Bragg, of Wisconsin, said, in or
der to test the intentions of the other
sido of the House and the honesty of
the gentloman Irom Massachusetts in
the testimonial which he bears to Gen
eral Shields and his virtues, I Signify
my purpose here, now, to do bim jus
tice not by making him doorkeeper of
tho House and placing him in a nionial
position as a representative either ot
the Democrntio or cf the Republican
party, but to offer as a substitute a
joint resolution placing Gen. Shields on
the rotired list ol officers ol the United
States army, with the rank and pay of
- 11.:...:..- f. 1 .u- -.? i
m iiuunuiui vieuuiui oil inu rcurau
list. Applauso on tbo Democratic
sido
The Spcakor (to Mr. Butler) Does
the gentleman admit that as a substi
tute? II r. Biitlor(contcmptonsly) Oh, no!
I have the floor now and 1 will complete
what 1 bavo to say, and 1 decline to
be interrupted. He knows I know,
and even tho last doorkeeper knows
laughter that - that is not in order
when we are electing a doorkeeper.
When you put that in order, when you
wake up to your duty, I will voto for
it, but you cannot put it in hero now,
in order to get in a Confederate Gen
eral. rApplauso on the Republican
side. That Confederate General novcr
could ride npon old Shields' back, and
never shull with my consent Laugh
tur.1 I move the previous question.
'I he House refused to second tho
previous question 110 to 120.
Mr. Cox, of New York, said: This
House has not been unfair towards
I'nion soldiers. How is it organized ?
To-day we bave a Northern man for
the Speaker, wo have a Union soldier
irom Kentucky as our clerk, we have
a gentleman from Ohio (a Union man)
as our Sergeant at-Arms. The Con
federates who aro members of this
House are equal to tbe Union men on
this side of tho Houso, and yet they
only have tho office ol Postmaster and
tho doorkeeper.
Mr. Blackhurn, (Uum.i ot hy , awcl:
I deny that 1 or any one of those with
whom I bavo been identified in times
past can be proved by their record
here to havo littered a word on this
floor that looked toward the opening
of issues which should have been buried
in tho war. If one word has over come
from this side, of the House of A sec
tional character it bas been when,
manhood and patience exhausted, the
party boa been spurred, driven and
forced to self defense. . 1 despise tbe
man hero or elsewhere wbo seeks to
make either personal profit or political
character out of revamping issues
whicn belong to tbe darkest period ol
this country's history. It is the part
f ghouls and hyenas to dolv. into the
trenches where putrid carcasses are
buried, and drag them out to batten
and latten upon the least. It ia not
manhood. They l.ave been brought
out again to day. It was left to the
gentleman from Massachusetts to re-
luse to allow subordinate officer of
tbe House to be elected wHhout fight
ing tho war oyer again. False charges
bavs been buried against us, and not
for tha first time either. We bave
boentohl bore to-day that the candl
date who baa been nominated in Hem
oeralte caucus for tb. donrkeepership

which embraces 8,000,000 of tbe peo
ple of the land that they were all
breathing a miserable .xlsUino. at suf
ferance and were indebted lor tbeir
poor, miserable livoa to tha magnanim
ity of the Republican party. That baa

and the lips that last utterod it. How
was it possible, l asK, lor a man wno
linlnmred to the armv of tho Confeder
acy to have been hanged after the
terms Ol surronaor anu capuuiaiion
bad been agreed upon? Do you mean
to say that tho well earned reputation
for courage and gullantry and man
hood which tbo soldiers of tbe Union
army bad illustrated by overwhelming
and conquering my people was to be
blotted and blurred lor mo nrst time
in the history of civilir.ed warfare by
this government ignoring the condi
tions of surrender and banging unarm
ed men whom it had agreed to protect
in order to Induco them to lay down
their arms?
Mr. Butler Have 1 uttored any such
sontimontf
Mr. Blackburn I submit to the
mind of every candid man on this
floor, whethor bo sits on this sido or
the other side of this chamber, whether
I have not quoted you corroctly.
Mr. liuller Have 1 stated or hinted
that after the Confederates laid down
thoir arms they ought to have been
banged I Tbe tune was Deiore.
Mr. Blackburn Aye; but the dim-
culty was to bang them so long as
thoy bore arms. I would like to know
bow many men oould have been hang
ed in the Conledurate service while
they wcro standing in line of battlo,
with glistening bayonets, on thoir
country's battlefield When a mem
ber of the House asserts that this nom
inated candidate of the Democratic
Earty for tho donrkeepership desorved
y every law, human and divine, to
havo been hanged, and when that ut-
teranoe is accompanied with the boost
that be alono stood by that law and
executed it, 1 would liko to know what
interpretation or construction can pos
sibly be given to bis languago except
that Confederates were to be hanged
when tho power to hung thoin was
conferred.
Mr. Butlor N ot after wo had agreed
not to.
Mr. Blackburn It is time, sir, this
should stop ; it is time that false
charges should cease to be mado and
that tbo truth should be observed ; it
is time that it should be admitted that,
itbout doing violence to tbe plighted
faith which your country or our
country, if that will suit you butter
had pledged tho men who boro the
uniform on the .other aide should no
longer be refused admission to every
personal right, privilego and preroga
tive of citizenship so long as thoy ob
serve tho conditions of their parole ; it
is timo it should bo admitted that
thoso men, from then until now, were
not only entitled to evory right, of per
sonal liberty and property under the
Constitution of tho country, but that
thoy should become the object of pro
tection at tho hand of tho dominant
party itself and that your solemn
promiso that your word, deliberately
given, should not bo violated without
rendering infamous the man wbo
darea to do it, 1 am sorry that it was
necessary tor a member of the tlouso
to remind us of the exercise of what
he chooses to terra clemency, but
which impartial history will denomi
nate but common fairness, and that in
illustrating Ibis magnanimity tor which
be claims such credit to his party it
was necessary for bim to parade be
fore us boastfully tho execution ol an
unarmed and helpless prisoner, tbe only
man, I beliove, wbo, in the history of
that war, is shown to bave been killed
or injured on tho Confederate aide by
tbe warrior from Massachusetts. Loud
laughter and applauso on the Demo
cratic side.
CHURCHES AND CHURCH
SCANDALS. .
It is a good deal worse than foolish
to argue Irom a case like that of Thor-
asson (hut the Chriitian Churcha are
dent of thieves, and we doubt whether
even Col. Bob Ingcrsoll himielf would
commit the blunder of making such a
hasty induction. It critics must mor
alize upon such a case, the only refer
ences they can properly draw from it
are that scoundrels get Into cburcbes
in ordor that they may avail them
selves of the confidence wbioh a repu
tation for piety inspires a thing which
ol itself goes to provs that religious
pcopi emay D sentimentally religious
without being proof against all sorts
of temptations. Neither of these in
ferences, bowcrer, is exactly In the
nature of news. Ol course, churches
should exercise great caution in regard
to tho character of the men whom
they put forward as exemplars ot
Christian character ; but it la much
easier to keep up appearance of any
sort in a great than in a small com
munity and it is so difficult; to tost re
ligious pretensions by anything but
appearances that the churches may be
readily Imposed upon. Christians aro
particularly bound to accent urolessions
ot faith as sincere until they are proved
to DO lulae, and as suspicion ot tho mo
tive, of others is tbe very worst form
of uncharitabloncss, it is obvious that
nothing can bo more difficult than to
keep a thorough hypocrite out ol a
church it he is determined to got into
it, . Moreover, tbe theory ot tho effi
cacy ol divine grace makes it peculiarly
incumbent upon religions people to
accept all sorts ot converts, and while
a family might properly enough be
slow to admit s ticket-ol lenve man as
a servant, a church could hardly take
the same stand touching its member
ship without denying the fundamental
idea of the regeneration of sinnors.
I. ike the sheet In fit. Peters vision, it
is exposed to embrace many things
which society would consider a un
clean, in the nope of seeing them meta
morpboscd and mado really as white
aa snow. One of the angels rebelled
and led away myriads of the hosts ot
heaven : one of tbo twelve disciples be
trayed his Master. Tb.Old Testament
is full ol instance, in which men chosen
as God's favorites lapsed into deadly
sin, and the New Tcstamont bas many
warnings to tb effect that tbe ust ar.
liable to tall. It is childish, therefor,
to expect all tb member of all the
churches to continue worthy to the
nd or to remain atoadlastly superior
to temptation, un in olbor band ll
is bbwis for tha churches, or rather
for those wbo aasum. to represent
thorn, to claim, when prominent church
members create groat scandal by the
commission of flagrant crimes, that
their tall brings no discredit at all upon
tbo Church, and that the Church is in
no sense responsible for the misconduct.
Even our esteemed contemrjorarr. tbe
I'ott, seems to incline towards thia
error when it speaks of the Church's
responsibility in tb case of Tberasson,

that be is learned in tho law, the faet
that a man belongs to a Church ought
to be accented, and in fact, as we see,
is accepted, as a guarantee that his
tendencies are in the direction ol mor
ality and virtue Cburcbes which do
not admit this really invite recognition
a being only on a level with social
clubs in respect to tho presumptive
general respe otability ol their members,
and as being not quite on a lovel with
organized profession in rospeel to the
presumptive gonoral excellence of their
members in the spocial subject matter
with which they deal. When a trusted
Church member is discovered to be a
scoundrel, his dereliction of courso, as
we bavo said, docs not provo that other
Christians aro knaves, or even to raise
a reasonable suspicion that tbey aro so;
but it is a serious fact, to bo accepted
as showing tbe still incomplete victory
of tho Cburoh over !' uvil tendoncies
of our nature, and. therefore, as a thing
by which Christian people should be
especially grieved. It is the belief ot
tho people tbst tho Churches do lead
to righteousness which makes scandals
within the Church so strange and
shocking to the community. Suspi
cions concerning tbo efficiency of tho
Cburcbes are much less likely to bo
generated in the minds of a worldly
people by such scandals than they
would bo were tbo belief to become
prevalent that the Churches, for the
sake of their own good name with the
world, woro likely to cover up rathor
than expose the sins ot tnoir members.
A Church scandal is apt, no doubt, to
be considered by the thoughtless as a
triumph for tbo wicked ; and a knowl
edge of thi fact, wo fear, sometimes
leads excellent Christians to wish that
a scandal might bo avoided oven at
the risk of condoning a onme. hensl
bio and candid men of tho world do
not distrust Uhurclius and Church mem
bers because hypocrites got into
Churches, or because men who for a
time livo as good Christians eventually
tall ; but they would be very apt to
distrust Churches and Church members
it they believed them disposed to screen
a criminal rather than to expose and
punish bim. A sinner wbo repents on
exposure, makes what restitution is in
his power and accepts with humility
tho just punishment of bis crime is not
a scandal but rather a sourco of honor
to bis Church. 1 n tho cose of Oilman,

TRADES' UXWXS.
Recently the Hon. F. B. (iowc.i de
livered an interesting lecture before a
Pottsville literary society on trades un
ions. In describing the ellect ol trades
unions the lecturer maintained that ano
of tho chief evils was in destroying tho
individuality ol the workingman. Jo
matter how superior bis talents or bow
great his attainments, be became one
of an indistinguishable mass, and as he
could not lilt his companions to hisown
levol be must himself sink to theirs.
Ho took a'n illustration from the palmy
days of tho Miners' Union in Schu
uyl-
kill county. During that period an in
dustrious and skillful miner might cut
ten wagons of coal a day at sixty cents a
wagon and earn six dollars day. iiut
tbe union would not permit bim to
earn what bo could. It stunned in and
said bo must not earn so much, as there
were other members who could earn
only threo dollars a day. Thus tbe
good and the poor workmen meet on a
common lovel. Tbe good workman
must he restricted that tbo poor one
may be benefited. Hut Air. bowen said
bat was not all. The poor workman
was not satisfied with tlueo dollars a
day. He must have four dollars and
the price ot mining must be raised by
combination to eighty cents a wagon
to put a premium on mcompetonny.
Such was tbo effect of the trades union
on the superior workman. Mr Gowen
said bo could namo instances in wmcu
workingmen wore driven out of tbe
country by the operation of this tyran
meal system.
The lecturer procoeded to trace
another evil effect of this system in
placing the employe and tho employer
in aniugonisn. insieuu ui me mutual
confidence that should ovist between
employer and employo distrust was
created by tho trsdus union, wbo mado
botb subject to an Irresponsible society
led by interior men, and tbrae men
were always demagogues. He gave a
sketch of tho Brotherhood of Locomo
live Engineer. This trados union was
for a long time a very worthy organi
zation, and was operated for beneficial
purposes only. But a few years ago
it changed to soerct oath bound asso
ciation, and is presided over by a man
whose only object seems to be to keep
up an ill-feeling between omployor and
employe. Mr. Gowon mentioned an
old employe of tho Reading road who
had run bis engine Into snot icr train in
utter neglect ol orders and wassuspon
ded. Under tho company's rules ho
oould never be reinstated in his posi-
vion, uu. uu wu givuu Biiubuur position
and kept in it lor many months.
Though fully acquainted with all the
circumstances of tbo case Chief M'Ar
tbur took this man to evory mooting
and held him up as an example of tho
Heading railroad company s cruelty to
its employes, slating that it had thrown
him aside merely because ho had bo-
come too old tor its purposes. This,
Huid the lecturer, was "the trick of the
demagogue and tho ward politician,
add showed lb character ot the men
who take tho leadership cf trados un
ions.
According to Mr. Gowen one of the
worst effects ot this system is produc
ed by it rule in regard to apprentices.
The reason more are so many idle men
in America is because trade unions
nreveiit them from tearing trades.
Vitfiout honost moans of support they j
mast eilhor so into jail or into politics.
and the lecturer did not know which
was worse. What, he askod, would bo
thought ol an association of litorary
men wbo combined to prevent other
from learning to read and write, or
who would work tor th passage of a
law forbidding mora than ten boy to
be taught in eaen ttard at on time.
Yet thi was th policy of th trades
anions. Under tbis baneful system
tbe great majority of th boy must
grow np in idleness, and no greater
evil than this could befall a country.
In th opinion ot tbe lecturer the time
would come when this question would
be one of th most Important with
which th Legislature would have to
deal.cTb vil was growing constant
ly won. Tl.s idleness prevailing in
tbe country was not only of thoso who
could not get work but oi tbos wbo
could get work, and it behoove every
man to raise his voice against system
which placed It beyond hi power to
provide bi children with th mean of
obtaining a living.
Mr. Gowen clone, hi leotnr by re
ferring to tb effect of trades onion on

tho prosperity of England. Ho said
that the protective policy of England
bad enabled hor to build up magnifi
cent industries in which no other coun
try could compote. This policy, he
said, was changed to I roe trade and
she did not long hold her high position.
It would seem from this that Mr. Gow
en attributes the present condition of
f.ngland to tho repeal ot tho corn laws,
which bas generally been regarded by
ber statesmen and economists as a
measure which opened a now era ot
commercial and manufaoturtngprospcr-
ity. Jl wo understand bis argument
firotoction brought prosperity to Eng
and and created groat manufacturing
industries. But free trado brought in
its train trades unions and with tbem
the downfall ot England's industrial
prosperity. It might bo argued witb
quite as much forco that protection pro
duced tho trade, unions in this country
as that free trade created them in Eng
land. Mr. Gowen's logio on this sub
ject is far from cloar. He further says
in. closing his lecture that tbo extrava
gance of the rich is the bonvfit of the
poor. This fallacy bas otton been re
futed, but Mr. Gowen saves that neces
sity bore when he instances in the next
sentenco tho parsimony and frugality
of tbe French peasantry which enabled
tbe nation to pay its enormous war in
demnity. It was not then tbe extrav
agance of the rich but tho economy of
tho poor . which provided the French
government with tho capital that was
noeded in a great financial emergency.
Had tbo doctrine that luvors extrava
gance been put in practice there would
havo been no capital in France when
it was required. It would have been
wasted In extravagance and luxury.
But this is apart from the real purpose
of the lecture which is a valuable and
timely exposition ot the ovils and abus
es ot trades uqions by one who has
thoroughly studied their character and
history.
A VICTIM OF WAXT.
Tho Chicago Timet of Monday last
says : Saturday night a woman was
found on a comparatively oesortco
street in Chicago witb ber offspring
in hor arms. 1 be woman was atlirod
in tbe remnants of what onco swept
ith magnificent result over the floor
ot a richly furnished mansion ; but tbe
luce bad been turned up against the
sky so many nights that it hadn't a
single mark upon it to tell that it had
ever felt the touch of a Summor day.
Tbo child bad just enough about its
tiny form to protect it from tho heart
less March wind that made a pande
monium out of the surroundings when
ever there was anything it could swing.
One might have lound some kind of an
excuso tor tbis utterly homeless woman
if she had strangled the only thing that
was lett ber to love tbe only thing
that existed to her to remind hor that
there was such a thing as innocence I
But her mother's instinct remained.
No storm ever washes that away ; no
inirratitudo over hardens it Several
time she stopped passors by and offer
od them the child provided they would
be kind to it, but her appeals were in
vain. At last she went down to the
river, and walked under the shadows
of tbe nakod masts that lined the docks
like ghastly things in want Tbo night
overhead was not so cheerless as to be
without it "grovo of stars," and these
unwound their silvor threads until they
seemod to trail in the water ana play
with the lispinga of the waves. But
thoro waa nothing else in the shadows
except tbe cburcb steeples and tbo
mansions of a city, and these wore lett
untouched bv a glow of tho starlight.
Onco the woman untied the excuse of
a bonnet she wore, and pulled down
her hair. She pressed tbe treasure in
ber arm, and kiagjd it T lion she came
closer to the water, and looked into its
depths. Whatever dusporato impulse
may bave seized her at that moment
it passed away, and sho turned
bock, ooiled hor hair, and turned bor
fuce again to the streets, oho mot an
officer, and told him site was a vagrant.
He took tbe child in bie own arms, led
tbe wreck of a life to the Madison street
station. Thia woman bas been atrip-
pod ot a fortune in loss than two years
br a trio ol hardened wretches. She
has been chased from garret to collar
bv men who. having ruined and rob
bed bor of all that she possessed, be
sides ruining bor daughter, who is at
tho Bridewell to day, havo bunted ber
night and day, in order to got her out
ot reach ol the court before which thoy
will shortly appear. They havo drag
god ber up and compelled her to sign
all manner ot documents wmcn crimi
nate herself. Thoy bave usod ovory
device to steal her child. Thoy have
so poisoned I ho mind ol hor daughter
that sho curses tho poor old wreck of
a motbor whenever thoy meet. Ano
now she is the most helpless and appar
ently God-lorsakcn creature thai ex
ists in this city. But thoro is a God,
and justice if slow is sure.
A LEVIT1CAL CITY.
In olden times tho Hebrews estab
lished Cities ol Refuge, designated
Lovitical cities, to which the involun
tary man-slayer might flee and where
he was sale- from tho pursuit of tbe
avenger of blood. Tho protection ex
tended to him was. however, not abso
lute but qualified, for the elders granted
him iir miinily only until be could he
tried by the proper authorities of bis
own city. It seems that this feature
of the ancient economy is about to be
revived in our own day, and that the
oity of Washington, covering tho fugi
live witb an ampler shield, and repel
ling the avenger with a more enduring
repulse, is likely to become memorable
as tho great Lovitical city of the Na
tion. Patterson fled thither for safety
and easily lound it. Wells is reported
to have done the like. There are
many less conspicuous examples, and
others, after these precedents, will con
tinue to do thesamo, so that a fair herd
of them may ere long be found levant
and couihant within that happy pinfold.
This, in one view of tbe matter, is quite
natural. Hamlet was sent to England
because his madness would not be seen
in him in that country, for, as the
grave digger said, " there the mon are
as mad as bo." in like manner a ras
cal may naturally take refuge in Wash
ington whore thor are many as ras
cally as be, and where mingling with
his like and kind, be becomes an un
distinguishable and Indiscerniblo unit
ot " tb general gender." But still the
avengor ia on bis trail and demands
the commoraiit fugitive. Tbo para
mount law of the land declares that
"a person charged In any State witb
. treason, felony, or other crime, who
shall flee Irom justice and bo found in
another State shall, on demand of tbe
Executive authority of th State from
wbicb he Hod, b delivered np to be
removed to theState having jurisdiction
of the crime."
Tb answer mad to tbe demand is
(hat it Is only wherl the ftigiliv hi
found " in another State'' that b most
b returned, and as laa District of
Columbia is not a Stato, and tho city
of Washington is not, therefore, "in
another State," tho requisition may bo
refused, and tho fugitlvo, safe in his
asylum, may look out from his loop
hole of retreat and smilo complacently
upon bis disappointed pursuers thus
kept at bay. Wo are drilling right to
wards this condition of things, and it
ia high timo tbo subject were mot vig
orously and directly, though our pres
ent object is simply to refer to it.
Tbo "exclusive legislation" which
Congress exercises over tho ten milos
square, is not greater than that which
it exorcises over places purchased from
States for forts, magazines, arsenals,
dock-yards, and otbef neodful build
ings. Indeed by tho Tory language of
tho clauso granting tho power, it is
declared to Tjo a " like authority " in
both cases. I n tho latter class of casos
we beliove it is tbo prevailing legal
opinion that the purchase ol lands for
puhlo purposes does not of itself divest
the jurisdiction or sovereignty of the
Stato from which tho lands are pur
chased. Tbe legislation and authority
over tho ten miles square, aro by Ihe
phraseology of the Constitution, inci
dent to and in aid of tho use of the
District as "tbe seat of the Govern
ment." and a use for such purposes
cannot certainly be so extended and
perverted as to obstruct tno adminis
tration of tbe criminal law of the coun
try at largo and nullify the Constitu
tional provisions that " tho trial of all
crimes, except in cases of impeachment,
shall be by jury, and shall bo hold in
the Stato where said crimes shall have
boon committed.'1 Besides, it the Dis
trict oi Columbia, not being a Stato, is
not bound by the Constitution to sur
render a fugitive from justice upon the
demand of a Slate, then for the same
reason it is not entitled to a demand
from a Stale tbe surrender ol a fugitive
I rem the District, and tho result may
bo that crime committed there may go
unpunished no less than crime commit
ted in a Slate, and villains may thus
join bands in a general jnbilco.
It trouble is likely to arise upon mis
subject, and if the District claims to be
exempt from the terms or spirit of the
inter State obligation, then it will bo-
come important to considor what is
the right of arrest ouuudo ol the pro
vision in tbo Federal Constitution and
irrespective of it terms. Chief Justice
Tilgbman, in one of our reported cases,
said thai " prior to the Amoricon Revo
lution a criminal who fled from one
colony, found no protection in another;
ho was arrested wherever found and
sent for trial to the place where tho
offence wad committed." In a later
case a fugitive Irom this State was ar
rested at Detroit, .Michigan, without
warrant, by the officers of a steamboat,
when on board of tbo boat, and carried
to Krio, in. this Bute, and lodged in
jail. Chief Justice Gibson hold that
ha must submit to ino arrest, anu
though he might, perhaps, have a right
of action against bis captors, he had
not nnd ought not to have any other
remedy. "Tbo practice," said the
Chief J ustice, " is to arrest on hot pur
suit a tugitivo from justice wherovor
found." Whon tho great States of tho
Union allow such arrests of criminals
to be made, or if they object to them
are bound to deliver up tbe fugitives in
tho Constitutional modo, it isabsuid
to supposo that a lillipulian locality
ten miles square, shall be allowed lo
erect it infinitesimal sell into an im
pcTiwm in imjterio, and establish in tho
heart of tho country a sanctuary and
asTlum for w rone- doers, more inviola-
bio even tban the sacred shelter of a
Lovitical citv. Such assumption should
bo promptly mot hy "arrest on hot
pursuit rmtitaeipnia wmmonwewm
AT LAST.
Fit John Porter bas secured from
Hayes tbe rehearing of his case wbicb
Grant steadily rolused to grant. Gen
eral Porter was mado the victim of
Republican malevolence during the war
era when tbe power oi me party w
supremo and its conscience wimnoio
it from no wrong of which only a Dem
ocrat would bo tho victim. The court-
martial which dismissed Gcnornl Porter
from the army for his alleged refusal
to obey orders of Gonoral Popo, who
was then attempting to command the
army in Virginia from his "headquar
ters in the saddle," was organized to
convict Portor in order to savo Pojw.
Popo was an ass but a pet ot the ad
ministration, which was seduced by
his gasconade to beliove that be was
tbo man to justiiy by bis goneraisuip
its dismissal ot McClellan. Secretary
Stanton wanted very much lo find
such a man, for, so far, tho retirement
of McClellan from the chief command
ol tho army of tho Polomao had not
rosultod beneficially. I ho failure ot
Pope to keep the rebels at bay and
tho precipitate and disastrous retreat
of bis army upon Washington nau
been very mortifying t the war Sec
retary. A victim was sorely needed
to tako the blame of the defoat, and
Kits John Portor, ono of th corps
commanders, was electcd as the most
eligible person for the purposo, being
a Democrat and an anion friend of
tho proscribed commander, McClellan.
In those daya it was a very easy thing
for the Secretary of War to orgauizoa
court-martial to convict his enemies or
acquit bis Iriends. Ho had a largo
number of officers from which to select
bis court, and he bad such power in
his hands and such gifts of good or
evil to bestow, as to make it almost
certain that tho average officer would
voto as he knew he was wanted to.
Thecourl that tried Mrs.Surratt was led
to find the horrible Verdict which con
demned that innocent woman to death,
witb scarcely a particle ol evidence to
found it on ; but they woro driven to
it because it was demanded of them.
In tho same way Fitz John Porter was
convicted. The cry was raised that
because be was a friend ol MuClellan,
be desired Popes detest there waa
the flimsiest evidence to sustain the
charge of willful disobedience ol bis
orders! and tbe administration demon
strated it own belief that it was Pope's
incompetency and not Porter' treach
ery which dofcatod him, by removing
rope Irom his command. 1 he persist
ent refusal of Grant lo grant Porter
prayer for rehearing of the cast was
prompted by the knowledge that Por
ter had been nnjustly condemned and
by his willingness that he should re
main o. Had he believed bim gallty
he would nut bave refused bim the
chance -be aaksd to-demonstrate bis
innocence. Haves ha not inherited
the vindictive tooling of th last two
administrations against MoClcllao's
friends, and m willing that justice shall
he done between Porter and Pope.
General Hchoflold, Torry and Getty,
wbo arc appointed to rehear tbe case,
are good aoldior and men of bigb
honor. Their iutlgment will b re
ceived with confidence by the country,
whether it vindicate or condemns

Mr. Gontry, tbe Pennsylvania or

birds i inverse ratio to thoir adraira
blo and respectable qualities. As bo
condemns by the wholesale those win

and animated reliefs to the pall that is
temporarily spread over tho face of

crows and blackbirds. The English
blackbird' tuneful greetings might
with reason awaken affection in the

we ought to admit also tbe leading
American species to the best leathered

SOIIE INTERESTING PACTS CONCERNING
THEIR MARKET VALt'R.
A writer in the American Register, of
Pans, say : European society has been
aware for some considerable period
that women in tho East aro sometimes
worth their weight litoially in gold.
Slrango storios havo occasionally been
recounted of beautiful Circassian ladies
sold at privnto sale for 123,000 apiece ;
but then, of courso, those prices are ex
ceptions, and th purchasers Viceroy,
Sultan and Minister of Financo, to
whom money was no object. Tho
Eastern middle class, comprising such
smalt fry as Aghas, EtTendis, Bashis,
Bimhashis and tno like, it la assorted,
usually expend sums varying Irom II,
.000 to $o,000 in the purchase ol their
better-halves, bit hitburto we have bad
no indication of tbo market valuo of
women among tho working classes in
the East It has been reserved to Cap
tain Barnaby, in his interesting ac
count of a ride through Asia Minor, to
enlighten us on tbe subject of women
considered as a marketable commodity
among the lower strata of Eastern so
ciety. "
It must be understood that we do
not include in this classification such
abnormal people a Kurds, Bedouins,
Circassians, and tbe like, these people
generally stealing thoir wive just a
they steal everything else. Captain
Barnaby relate that his Tnrkisb ser
vant, who was given to uob otntricl
tie a praying fir. time a day, and
wbo may, th.refore, be regarded as a
f;enuino type of his class, uvcled in the
uxnry ol one wifo. Monogamist bv
lore of circumstance, this Turkish
servant bad parehaaed his wile ef hor
latber tor Ally dollars, and she was con
sidered a bargain at th price, ber fath-
over bead and oui, u ue to . atinyy-"
lender, uai who was disposed to sac
rifice his property lor ready money.
It now remain to be soon what tb
Turkish servant got for his fifty dol
lars, in order that we may form a lair
idea of the money value of Eastern
women. The lady in question was a
good cook, skilled in the art of prepar
ing soup, and was thus possessed of a
way to the heart of a man of a perman
ent and onduring character. She look
ed two way at onco, which must havo
enhanced ber value, seeing that she
bad only one oyo disposable at any one
time for tho purpose of investigating
bor husband's delinquencies, which
were numerous, as is usually tbo case
witb mankind ; and, finally, alio weigh.
ed one hundred pounds.
Women in tho r.ast are generally
valuable in proportion to their weight,
which is the groat desideratum, othor
qualitios being regarded as more ac
cessories. Tbo wife of the Turkish
servant of Captain Darnaby must,
therefore, according to hor weight, bave
been worth balf a dollar per pound.
Now, it we set aside a quarter ot a dol
lar per pound fur such extraordinary
qualifications as the art of preparing
palatable soups and savory stows, we
are forced to tho conclusion that tho
mass of ordinary Eastern women, reck-
onod at their current valuo, are not
worth more than one quarter ot a dol
lar per pound. Now this is a very low

TO fX SHIP ROAD TAXES.
A caso was beard tho othor day be
fore Judge Pearson, of Dauphin county,
and by bim decided, regarding the
timo when Supervisors aro required to
levy the Road tax, and the right of
citizens to work but thoir tax it they
so dosiro. The bill showed that tba
Supervisor of Susquehanna township,
Dauphin county, had the ICoad taxes
of said township assessed late in the
t all of lb, i lorsuid year. The com
plainant had called on tbe officer sev
eral times through the year, asking for
ten opportunity to work out the Road
tax on the farm ou .which ho lived as
a tenant. He was permitted to work
to tbo amount ot rj.4, but desired to
work out the whole tax, which ho sub
sequently learned was $15.94 ; hut
novor hsd the opportunity, r.arly in
1878 tho Supervisor distrained and was
about to soli his property lor tho resi
due of the tax.
The Court holds that a Road tax
levied late in the Fall of the year is
clearly illegal, and whon so done, it is
impossible tor tho Supervisor lo com
ply with tho law, or tho citizen to
know the amount thereof so aa to work
itout. It ia the duty of the Supervisor
elected on tbo third Tuesday of Feb
ruary, soon alter entering upon tho
duties of bis office, lo assess tbe tax lor
the year. He is governed by the valu
ation for county purposes, and if tho
necessities of the township, from tho
stato of tho roads, requires it, may call
to bis assistanco the Assessor of the
last year' tax, and levy his for tho
coming year, but generally it may be
more prudent to await tho tax on each
piece ol property lor the three years,
utter tbe appeals ara over, and imme
diately lay tho Road tax not excooding
one per cent on tho county valuation.
1 bis tax must be entered in a book,
to which all owing Road tax can have
tree access to see tbo amount of his
taxes, and tho Supervisor muBt allow
each person an opportunity to work it
out Tbe book must bo kept by the
Township Treasurer, it there is ono ;
if not, then by the Supervisor, who is
subject to a heavy penalty if ho refuses
inspection ot it. 1 he supremo court
bos decided that it is illegal lor a Super
visor to enter into such contract for
making roads as would prccludo the
citizen the opportunity to work out bis
tax. liuilding bridges on a highway
is mode an exception. Where a Koad
tax was assessed, and tbe tax-payer
was refused tho opportunity to work it
out, tho Supervisor was restrained by
injunction Irom collecting it on a war
rant TheCourt we, thcrc!oro,of the
opinion that it was the duty of tbe
Supervisor in this case, and in every
case, to asses th Road tax early in
tbo season, and give the citizens ol the
township a full opportunity to work it
out, providing be attends after reasona
ble public notice at tno timo and piaco
fixed by the Supervisor. If he neglect
alter such notice, and tbe officer is
obliged to hire mon to perform the
d uty , tbis tax can bo collected in money.
DEATH OF A XOTORIOUS
fOMAX. .
A sensation was created throughout
the city, says the Now York corres
pondent of tho Philadelphia Ledger,
recently, by tho announcement that
the notorious Madame Restoll bad an
ticipated tho judgment that probably
awaited hor in the Court of Sessions,
by taking bor own life. She was found
dead in her elegant mansion, in tho
Fifth avenue, nnder circunstancos that
lett no doubt that she had committed
suicide by cutting bor throat 8he was
to have been brought to trial on
charges preferred against her by Mr.
Anthony Coirtstock, on be hall of tbo
Society for tho Suppression of Vico,
and tho lawyers are of tbe opinion
that there was sufficient evidenco to
ensure bor conviction. Thoro can be
no question but that sho wo on ol
the most infamous women of tbo time,
and but low tears therefore will bo
shed over the fate that has befallen
her. Her real estate and personal
property are -estimalod to be worth
from 11,000,000 to $1,600,000.
Tbo body of Madumo Reatcll was
discovered at about eight o'clock in
the morning, hy a domestic, in the
bath-tub, ith hor throat cut On ex
amination in was found that tho jugu
lar rein had been severed with an
ivory-handled curving knife, which lay
in tho tub alongside of the body. The
tub was noarlv full of wator. and the
body bad evidently boon dead for somo
hours. Mr. Stowart, 'ho counsel of
deceased, stated thai oinro ber arrest
she bad manifested great fear and anx
iety on account of a belief that tho
prosoculion intended to bring other
charges against hor in rcloronco to old
oases. Tliis belief had taken such pos
session of ber, that it almost amounted
to a hallucination. Tho member of her
family say that tho day previous to

showed symptoms of montal dorsogo-
monl. Madame Kestcll, whoso real

ot England, and aliout sixty-seven
