Under tbe new arrangement, the S. brothers can ran tho War and Treasury Depart ments, and Ilaycs will be taken in a spectator. Be being an Ohio man too, tbe Treasury and War Dnpart- rnents will, no doubt, treat bim bn mahcly during tbe balance of his STOLEN TERM. AvoTUEa Uauuia Less Congress man Alfred M.

The others wore Smith, of Now York, who died on tbe night of the election ; Schleicher, of Texas, who died joet be fore ths close of the Forty-fifth Con gress, and Clsrk, or lows, who died during tbe extra session.

Tbe editor of tbe Lancaster Intelli gencer very appropriately alludes to a public measure In this way : "The I'ecember number ol hn School Journal contains tbe following an nouncemcnt from Dr. J. P.

"Now, this itja mere begging ot the question and a shirking of a positive duty on tbe part of Dr. Wickeraham. Tbe Constitution provides tbat tbo Goneritl Assembly $hall appropriate at least one million dollars unnually for the support of the schools ; there is no pretense even that the General Assem bly baa not done so. Tbe luw enjoins the Superintendent lo draw his war rant on tbe Stale Treasurer lor tbe quota of the appropriation due tbe sev eral school districts. The law docs not say tbat he may draw bis war rants 'as soon as tbe State Treasurer ia able or Killing lo cosh them.' It says tbe Superintendent lhall draw his war rant without regard to tbo condition ot tbo Treasury, or the will ot the Treasurer, The Treasurer may be a thief or a defaulter. Ha may nrt'er be ablo to cash the warrants, or, if able may not ba willing to do so. Tbe Su perintendent's duty is a plain ono: it is to draw bis warrants forthwith (he ought to hare done so long ago) on ihe Treasurer, without stopping to in quire whether tbat functionary is will ing or unwilling, ablo or unable, to casb tbem. Nobody expects tbe Superin tendent to cab them, nor will be be held responsible should tbe Treasurer fail to ca.sh them. Whatever trouble ibere may be in this regard will be settled between tbe State Treasurer and the sevoial School Boards ; and Dr. Wickeraham bas no more to do with the matter than the smallest boy in a primary school. Dr. Wicker sbam'B position in tbia matter is en tirely indefensible. A million of dol lars belonging to tbe schools is in tbe bands of somebody wbo, without a shadow of right, la having the use of it. Every School Board in tbe Stato should at once demand its quota, and we much mistake the temper of tbe Lancaster School Board if it does not at once lead the column. It has already lost heavi ly through the orookedness of the Treasurer of a banking house, who was not 'able' or 'willing' to pay tbe school funds deposited in his keeping. The difficulty in that case was tbat a war rant for the money was not drawn quite soon enough." A Vacant Seat. Tbe deal h of Bon. Wm. W. Eetcbam causes a vacancy on tbe Bench of tbe United States District Court for tbo Western Dis trict. Ho died suddenly at midnight on Saturday, the 6th mst., at the St. Charles Botel, Pittsburgh, ol apo plexy. Tbo following are the details of this sad and sudden affair: Tbe Judge bad been on duty, upon the Bench of the United States Distnct Court, up to 3 P. M on Saturday. Be then went to bis hotel, took dinner, and passed tbe rest of the afternoon until 5 P. M. with, Mrs. Kotcham. At tbat time he got np from the cbair where be was silling and approached the lounge. In so doing he was over come witb faintness and sank to the floor. Bis fall aroused the occupants ol the room beneath, Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Culton. Tbcy harried to tbe Kotcham apartments and helped tbe dying man's wife to get bim to bed and attend to his wants. Be was on conscious at the time, bat remarked to Mr. George Gamble, ol tbe botel, tbat in a few hours it "would be all over witb bim." Shortly after the Judge rolapsed into unconsciousness, and death ensued a few hours before mid night. A New "Advocate ."-The Pitts burgh Christian Advocate has opened a new field. Tbe territory of godlinoss seems to bavo been too small a field for tbe huge brain of tbe editor. In his last issue he advocates tbe cancella tion of all the greenbacks, bat I ails to suggest what is to take their place in tbe shape of money. In the same is sue be also promulgates this wise say ing: "Readers of the Advocate need only bave the matter referred to, to call to mind tbe fact, that this has been the doctrine we have advocated during tbe entire financial contro versy." Our suggestion to this modern saint is, that be bad, for the benefit of his readers, give a little more attention to a gonoine godliness and less to green backs, if he wishes his readers to be lieve that be is a Christian. j That Stolen Document. Bayes' Message was stolen and published In tbe New York Timet the day before Congress met Tbe World, in alluding to the theft, says : "Tbe stealing and premature publication of the Presi dent's Message recalls the case of tbe English copyist in the Fortlgn Office, wbo last year surreptitiously and for a consideration furnished to tbe London Globe the project, as yet confidential of a subsidiary treaty on tbe Turkish question.

Tho Now York Sun was all lor Hancock the other day, publishing bis orders while in command of tho de partments of Missouri and Louisiana during the post btllun reconstruction days. No Democrat will be found to dispute General Hancock's noble record in those days ot great trial, and the Sun limy bu right in supposing that tbcy bare trained for bim the political strength which makes bim today tbe most available candidate for the party For wo assume tbat Ibis is tho position 9j'be HyiL.a.ince otherwise it would be folly to urgo General Hancock's Loin inction. The Democratic party is not so flush ol strength Just now that it can afford to give its Presidenlure to any man as a reward of merit. It has no votes to throw away, and cannot be asked to nominate any man who is not certain of cordially receiving every Domocratio vole in tbe country, and wbo does not bid fair lo command tbo support of tbo men banging on the ragged edge of parlies, and voting mainly their independent convictions. If General Hancock is this man we want bim ; if not we cannot afford to tuke bim, whatever bis deserts may be at our bands. Will be be the strongest candidate in New York T is tbo simple question for the Sun to answer, and il it can convince itst lt of tbat fuel il is right to advocate bis nomination, and if bo can convince tbe party ot it he will be very sure to receive it. Tin Grand Juiit Fraud. A co- temporary remarks: "The bribery cases originating in tbe Legislature at the time ibo bill relative to the Pills burgh riot losses was before that body, came up for trial in tbe court at Har- risburg last week. Tbe case of Mr. Slater, a member from Philadelphia, was tbe first called and he got on a technicality. Il seems that tho law, in summoqing a Grand Jury, twenty- four persons are summoned, but only twenty-tbreo are sworn, in order that in finding true bills there may be a majority voting for them. There wore twenty-tbrce persons sworn, but in acting on tbe bribery bills there were twenty-four, grand jurors; but bow tbo twenty-fourlh man got into the room is a mystery. All the bills were consequently quashed nd new bills will be presented before tho Grand Jury in January next It was a shrewd trick to got the twenty-fourth man into the Grand Jury room, and its per pelration showed that the porsons in dicted did not wish to try tho morils of their respective esses that it was hotter to got off by a technicality than by tbe verdict of a jury. All we bavo to say is, that persons wbo act in tbo capacity of lobbyists about Uarrisburg are up to all manner of tricks, and il lakos courts and juries to keep their oyes wide open to beat tbem." The New Wae Secr i tart. The Harrisburg Patriot, in alluding to the confirmation of Mr. Ramsey, tbe new Secretary of War, says : " Secretary McCrary't confirmation for United States Judge of tbe Eighth Circuit bos been followed by tbe nomination of the Bon Alexander Ramsey, of Minnesota, for Secretary of War. Mr. Ramsoy thirty years ago represented this dis trict in Congress. After the close ol bis service in Congress be emigrated to Minnesota of which be was Territo rial Governor. When the State was admitted to tbe Union in 1SS7, be was elected to the Senate of tbe United States in which be served three terms. Be has been continually in office since bis election to Congress from Pennsyl vania, except the short interval between tho close ol bis service in tbe Senate and his present appointment, which he owes to the partiality of Mr. Hayes. Bo is a man of fair abilities and popu lar manners. As be regards office as a means of personal advantage he will take care of himself and his friends in his new position of Secretary of War. But be will suit General Sherman wbo runs tbat Department." A Substantial Check. John D. Taylor, Treasurer of the Pennsylvania Railroad, tbe other day drew hia check for tbe very large sum ol 12.957,450, which was done to pay lor tho 69,149 shares of stock ol the Pennsylvania Railroad owned by the city of Phila delphia, and purchased by tbe Penn sylvania Railroad Company. Tbii check was an ordinary slip of paper, like other checks, looking quito iuno cent of the "millions In it," containing tbe following words: PBiiiBBt-FBta, Doaoatbar 4, UTS. OlBABB NaTIOBAL DARK! Pay to D. t. Boatbworta, City TroaaBrar, or ordor, two aailltoB atao Baadrod aad Bfiy-aaraB tbaaaaad foor auadrod aan ally dollara. Jobs D. Tatlob, Truaaarar. Bbbjahir V.Cbawpobb. Such checks as these do not fly about very oflon, and it Is not many banks that could stand such a pull on its cash as this would make, but it seems the thing "went through" wholesale. Or Course, it is sol The New York Sun, an independent journal, ad mits ibat "the fundamental doctrines of tho Democratic party form tbe life and essence ol the Ameiican system ot government, Wbon tbcy are up held and applied in their parity, the Republio prospers ; as tbe people and the government are removed from them and led into paths, our political life languishes and the future becomes doubtful." This must bo tho conclu sion ol every dispassionate inquirer into facts in tbe land. This being so, is it any wonder that at tho lost Presi dential election the Democrats bsd a majority of a quarter of a million in the popular rote. Great Oil Firi. Tbe prosperous oil town of Red Rock, McKcan county, was set on fire by the bursting of a 25,000 barrel oil tank. Tbe fire oo curred at 6 o'clock A. M. on the 12th inst Two hundred and fifty houses were consumed, and 300 families turn- ed out ol doors, many of the cilitens boing only bslf clad. Great distress prevails in consequence. Tbe village contained 1,600 in habitants. Nolbing remains of tbe town exoopt a lew bouses scattered along tbe billside. A Good Suoomtion. Tbe Wash ington 7Vf remarks: "Should Major Reno be diamissed from the army for indecent conduct towards ladies, tbe Republio need not be ontiroly deprived of the benefit of bieservrces. It might be wsll to appoint a commission, con sisting of Messrs. Conk ling, Beeehar and Reno, to visit Salt Lake City and reprove lb Mormon brexhroa for their excessive sensuality." HOW TO PAY POLITICAL DEBTS. Tbe Lancaster Intflligencer soys : As wo understand tbe suit of a Republican printing firm in Philadelphia, against Matthew S. Quay, Socrctnry ot this Commonwealth, and an aspirant for United States Senator, he gave a check to the printors for f2,6G7.3S, which lie owed them lor debts contracted as Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee and signed tbe check, "M.S. Quay, Cliaii man." Ho had no money in the bank on which tho chock was drawn, it was protested, and be is sued for it. His defense is that he contracted the debt aa "Chair man," gave the check aa "Chairman,' and bonce is not liable. As the Com mittee has no corporate existence, of course Quay ia not liable, nobody isi and the printer must be cheated outof his money. We believe Mr. Quay generally pays bis party's debts this way, as Prof. Wm. Howard Day is fond of exhibiting a cbeek lor 150 which Mr. Quay, "Chairman," sent bim with a letter saying ' I expect it to be protested." For United Slates Senator of the second Stato in tbe Union M. S. Quay, "Chairman." Why, lhal's old I Candidates and their friends in this "back woods" county bave "stuck" us fur more than that, and not one of them ever thought of running for U. S. Senator. CANDID, ANYHOW. The Washington Republic, a Radical organ, takes il straight this way : "Our Minister to China, Mr. Seward, was Inst winter convicted, in tbe minds of all who took tho trouble to read the testimony taken by the Springor Com mittee, of dishonest praoticea in bis high office. The State Department stood botween bim and infamy, and he was allowed to go back to tbe office be had d isgraced. 1 1 is said -now that be will be superseded during the present session of Congress. There is no rea son lor bis removal now that did not exist last spring, and it will not be strange if the Democratsako ad vantage of tbe circumstances and say that Seward is removod now to save impeachment at the present session of Congress. It looks as though il was the intention of the Administration to saddle tbe blame on F. W. Seward, tbo retiring Assistant Secretary of Stale, and the cousin of the Minister. It is a pity that tbe great Republican par ty should suffer for tho acts of a few cowardly incompetents." What a pity it is that "a few cowardly incompe tents" do such ugly things. "A few?" Why, their name is legion. A PRETTY GOOD LICK. Tbe editor of the Washington Past wanted the Democratic Senate to re ject tbe appointment of Socretary McCrary as Judge; but be was con firmed. He now caulerizos tbe mem bers in this way : "In order to make a determined fight against the Fraudulent Adminis tration in the matter of appointments, the Democrats in the Senate need a Republican to lead them. Without this assistance they meet disgrace as well as defeat. Witness the case of Arthur and Cornell, of the New York Custom Bouse, as compared with that of McCrary. Again: "Was tbere no single Democratic Senator out of tbe forty or more wbo were assembled in the Sonst yester day, possessed of sufficient courage or resolution to speak of McCrary as he deserved when bis nomination was re ported ? Or is it to be the policy of tbe party from this on to pension in life-offices the chief promoters of the colossal crime in 1876." It's Mainlt Tattle. Tho New York Sun, in alluding to the Mcssagoi says: "lie presents bis notions, to date, about Civil Service Reform. Be has bad tbe British system examined. Bo disapproves of tbe partisan spoils system wdicu no uimsuu ubb pmeuceu. He holds tbat be himself, and his Cab- inet, should not be debarred from elec tioneering business, but that all other offlco holders should be, and these others ought to procure and bold their places through competitive examine lion. The Message ia destitute of any great or important suggestion on any subject wbatover, and which mainly tattles about getting more money fur one thing or another, under one pre text or another, out of the country." Wby in creation did you publish that "tattle T" Bad you no other copy on band? Sooundrelisu at an End. Tbere boing no longer a "Returning Board in tbe Slate ol Louisiana, an honest count of tbo vole cast at tho election held last week was had and tba result is tbe election of the Domocratio candi dal for Governor by nearly 20,000 majority. Tbere was no rioting or lawlessness, aa there were no rascally carpet-baggers there to create disturb ances and a peaceful and honest eleo tion was the result. The campaign was an open and lively one, and Re publican speakors wero nowbore inter fered with. Quite a oontrast witb what took place in tbat State in 1876, when the election boards and relum ing board were in the hands of conspi- rators and scoundrels who stole tbe electoral vote ol tbe State and with il declared Hayes President A Relioious Tide. An exchange announces that brother Talmage'a church, In Brooklyn, N. Y., concludes to withdraw Irora the Presbyterian do nomination, "in consequence of the wanton and persistent pursuit and per secution of tbe paslor of this church by wicked, malicious men, ender tbe garb and pretext of ecclesiastlcism, having for bis avowed object bis de struction and the destruction of the prosperity and peace of religion in ibis church." We advise brothers Talmage and Beccher to form a co partnership and run their respective churches out side of the "garb ot ecclesiaslicism," and not be bothered with orthodoxy or any olbor "red tape" arrangements. Il is too bad tbat these big-sou led christians should be restrained by any body. It Wont Win.

Tbe negro exodus still goes on, nor ia It likely to be checked until il bus wrought on its unfortunate victims much greater injury than bas yet been inflicted. Over a wide section of North Carolina, in localities where tho blacks preponderate, tbey bave become in fatuated. Tbo wildcat stories of sud den riches, social equality and political rrefermeni, to bu attained by going to iidiuna, bave been industriously circu lated aiming them by hired umiMurios and have lound ready credence. Tbe credulity ol the plantation negro is Comniemturalo witb bis iguo ranee of tbe world. These deluded people bave soen nothing of ibo world except their present surroundings. Moot of Ibeni havo never been outside of their own counties. Tboso who were not children wbon freedom was given to them cannot read or write. Tbey do not know of the poverty that exists in other places, and are readily mado to beliovo that their condition is worse than that of the poor, the igno rant and dependent of any other Stale or auction. Thus tbey are easily duped by tbe oreaturea sent among Ilium lo stir up a spirit of real less discontent and iuru thtin away Irum comparative comlcii l to settle in a State whura they are not wanted by an) body exrcpi reck lens political Incksturs, aod wkuru their labor will not bring ilium so much of aibstanliul comfort as tbey bave bilheito onjoyed. Tboio is absolutely no evidence ihut they liuvu beuti ill Heated by the whites among whom they have lived. They do not allege ahusv, and the most griev ous of their complaints aro that tbey can't get goo-la r. cheap on credit aa tbey could lor cash, and that tbey bavo not been ablo to accumulate property. Men witb six or eight children feel that their lot is exceptionally bard, be cause they have not laid up money. Of course such complaints are childish to the lust degree, but, frivolous as tbey aro, they indicate vury clearly that, instead ol rough usage, they bave experienced that kindness and liber ality lor which tbe rural population of North Carolina bave always been noted. Tbe underlying cause of ull this trouble is a dospicablo and dusperato political scheme. Tbe leaders of tbe Radical parly, abandoning all hope of carrying a single Southern Stato next year, and believing that the Democ racy ill carry Now York, find tbe election decided against tbem in ad vance unless they can change the polit ical status of Indiana. T bey know that tbe only possible way ot effecting that change is to increase the number of Republican voters in that Statu by importation. Under tbe Indiana con stitution a six month's residence quali fies fur voting. The tidu or black wretchedness now setting toward that Stato is nothing elsu than a part of the Radical plan lor capturing a Slate, and through ihut capture securing an other four yean' lease ot National power. If there were no drawbacks, if tho meana omployod to swell ihe Radical vote wero not likely to repel us many whites as it brings in blacks, the Stale might thus be stolen under tbe forms of law. Wo say stolen, and ibal ia a mild turm, lor il is a damnable crime to import voting cattle lor the purpose of robbing tho pouple of their right of local sell government, and of voting the Stale against itself to cliango tbu result of a National election. It the ignorant and degraded voting material of any section can thus bo shipped from point to point lo decide tho great quadrennial contest of this Nation, and if a party can bo kept in power by tbe usu of auch means, then will suffrage be made tbo instrument ot tyranny and oppression, and a govern ntent based ou such auffraga will be deserving only ot execration. But we do not believe Ibis imfamnua plot will succeed. The attempt bas already disgusted decent men of all partios, and it tbe managers persist in It they will soon learu thai tbe anti negro portion of their own party is not under their control. Tbe ileillnioa ol this Republic and its 50,000,000 ol people are nut to bo decided by a re servo of black ignorance, ehipped from place to place to tip the political bal ance. Washington Post.

W hen tho Indians and Cuiumis niouers bad taken their seats Uunurul iluioh addressed Ilia Indians, set ting forth thu full demands of the CuuiiuiKHon, its right lo make tho demand and the patience ulrcudy ex ercised wilh the Ules. To-cluy, he said, is your last chance. We waul your final answer, and wo want no evasion. Ho then road a question put by Hatch : Will you surrender Ibo men whoso nam8 are in this paper lo be tried: il guilty punished : if innocent acquitted. Ihe question was put twice, and after consultation an evasive answer was returned. When the question was repeated the third time, Ouray replied without consulting Ihe other Ules : "How do we know tbat these Indians you name were at White River al the massacre, and oven if tbcy wero con cerned in il 1 These women mentioned the names which came first to their lips, whether tboy know them to be lucre or not. YV a cannot depend on what tbey say." "Thai is what we depend on," said Hutch.' Adams then addressed the Indians, making a spoech of over an hour's duration, saying, among other things, that the Commissioners did noi want to punish Colorow, Jack and others w ho look part in the Thorn burg fight, but tho cowardly dogs wbo participated in thu massacre of un armed men at thu agency, closing by saying: "Vtowunl iliose Lies, and wu will have them." Tbo Indiani huld a consultation in a low tone ot voice among themselves, but did not seem inclined to reply ut all, when Hatch again roso and aiked it th guilty In d iuiib were to be surrendered, suying I lint he bud made tho hint appetil. No one moved or spoko for a fuw moments, when Colorow lighted a big pipe, "tbe pipe ol peace.'' Each Indian present drew bis knife and laid it on bia kneo. Tbo question of peace or war being tho ono pending, Colorow panned the pipe to the next man without smoking, and it went round. When the circlu was finished bo jumped to bia tuet, straightened up to his full heigbl, pulled bis belt around until tbe knife sheath was in trout, pulled bis knile out and throw it with forco on the floor, quivering and tinging. Instantly uvory Indian present laid his hand on his knile or pistol. Tbe whiles did tbo same, and tbe two parlies stood front ing and detying each other fur some moments, each watting fur tbe other to make a forward move. There wore but six while men, while there were twenty five Indiana in the room, but i hero were fifteen soldiers in an adjoin ing room. Kinally Ouray spoke: "Wu cannot deliver lo you those Indians unless they are tried in Washington; they must not be iriud in Colorado. Cut orado people are all our enemies, and to give tbem up to be tried in this Statu would betusiirrendt i tbem lo be banged. We will bring those twelve men hero fur you lo see, and those whom you decide guilty shall bo taken to Washington, and the Prosidont shull determine their guilt or innocence. Douglas will havo lo go. We know hu was in tbe White River troubles, and you shall decide who else. Upon these conditions and not otherwise will we surrender the guilty Indians." This was said wilh groat arrogance and bold hops. Ouray said it wonld tako about a week lo bring tho men in. Hatch told him he would accept the proposition so far as the bringing in of tbe participants in the massacre was concerned, but as lo taking them to Washington, ha bad to telegraph lor permission to Secretary Schurx. Colorow and Jack were immediately dispatched to bring in tbo twelve named, including Douglasand Perscine, saying tbey would be back in five days. After they bad taken their depart ure Ouray again spoke, reiterating bis statement that tbu Utes could not gel justice in Colorado; they could only get it In Washington, ' loo three, meaning Hatch, Adams and the legal adviser, Valoe, "are all my enemies. 1 am one against three. You halo me ; you ara all Colorado or New Moxico men, and a French devil. I have not ono friend among yon. You will not givo me justice, and that . is why 1 want lo go lo Washington, where 1 can bave al least one friend." A MODERN DESPERADO. An exchange relaus tho lollowing : No greater rogue nor more desper ate criminal is kept within tho con fines of tbo Eastern pouilontiary than Ralph Rolland. II is adventures at Chainbersbuig, wheru bo edged him self into good society by plr.ying ! he pert ol a moral urinoural ; his aitum(u ou ths bank and bis capture; bis sub sequent escape and recapture-, and bis sunleneo for a term of years lo tbe Eastern pcniienliary are all familiar to newspaper readers. In the peni tentiary bu became ill at ease Ue bribed ono of his attendants and plan ned an escape, but bis plot was dis covered ; his health declined until un derneath a kid plaster on his back was lound an assortment of.fino saws, knives, &;., showing a weakness only lor liberty; be adopted .the Insanity dodge, hoping to bu removed to an asylum where escape would be cosy, but that fulled him; and on Sun day, the 7tb Inst., he played bis most dcsperalu game, and lost. During re ligious services, when the oulls were oponed that ibu prisoners might hear, Holland emerged Irom hiscell wilh his dinner knife, which he hsd sharpened into a dangerous weapon, in bis hand, and made a bold attempt to regain bis liberty. In most prisons bo would have been shot like a dog. Hut hero one keeper With a revolver compelled him to drop bis weapon, when he leaped down a distance of twenty feet lo tbe floor bolow, where he only euo cambed when knocked down by the keepers there. Ho then refused lo return to his room, and bad to be ear ned to a cell and was left there de prived of evory oomfort but a blsnkot. Prison lite is galling to Rolland, and be is not philosopher enough to endure it like a man. It i to ba hoped they'll keep bim there. In a Buret.
