We notice that President Chalfant and Secretary Men amin, of our Editorial Association, have blocked out the annual trip for the Summer excursion for those who want to paddle that kind of a canoo.

The Now York World says editorially : "President Garfield de serves credit for the course of Post master General .lumes in opening bis assault so boldly on the Star lioute swindles. But President Gar Held will bo held responsible too for any falling off in the pursuit of thoso swindles, of which of late there buvu been omi nous indications, ltisloudly whispered at Wasbinton that the tracks begin to run too near tho White. House and that prominent Republican Congressmen may be disturbed if they are too closely followed up." And so it goes. Tho people have been so often deceived by pretended investigations, which, when thoy be gan to point in tho direction of persons high in authority, liko the Black Fri day und Whisky Ring investigations, havo been smothered and bushed up. The people look not to thu President so much as to Postmaster General Jamos.and Attorney (iencritlMacVeagh for an honest probing of tho scandals and swindles of the last two adminis trations. The anxiety ol Bluine to force MacVeagh out (t tho Cabinet In putting the notorious Chandler in the office of Solicitor General is being ex plained by the light of these late de velopments. What Thet Said Aboi't Conklino and Platt's Resignation. Upon it boing learned that Senators Conkling and l'latt had resigned their scats all the loading men in Washington were immediately asked for opinions on the subject. The Philadelphia Tunes has condensed tho interviews, somo uf which wo hero give. Tho President said: "It's no alfairof mine." Senator Hawloy: "It's childish." Senator Cam eron : "I'd bo d d if I'd resign." Post master General James: "It means moro than I can tell." Wm. Mabone : "In tho name of God, what is to be come of mo, Itiddlobcrgcr and G'or ham f" Senator Butler: "Wo can stand half a doten such resignations." Socretary Lincoln : "I can soo nothing to approve in Mr. Conkling's attitude." Simon Cameron : "Garfield and Illaino will bo the death of the Republican party." Senator Johnston: "Their resignation was inado to buil-dor.o the President and to vindicate themselves bv a re-election." Secretary Hlninu : "As for Conkling, he always bullied ,. , . , , , I when he could and blubbered when bo couliln t. Jlis conduct was simply a farce, and even if ho wcro returned it j would be no indorsement of the peo pie." Stephen A. Doi'OLAa1 Ovee. A co temporary status tho ease in this way : "If Conkling should win, a largo part of the Republican party in New York, backed by Federal patronage, would be disaffected. Should Conkling bo crushed by a defeat, a largo part of the Republican party would be dis affected. Compromise is impossible. Conkling and Garfield are both in the water fighting for a plunk that is not largo enough to float both. It is re ported that John Kelly is working for Conkling. It is ulso rumored that Tildcn is at work for Conkling. The lattor statement hardly appears credi ble; and yet Conkling's reelection would give New York to tbo Demo crats beyond pcradventure. His do feat might lead to a cleansing and to a ro-invigoration of tho Republican par ty in New York." Koi R to THREE. Tho Philadelphia and Reading railroad case and several other railroad and corporation matters, as well as the Philadelphia political ring cases, havo all been decided by the same voto in the Supreme Court, Messrs. Taxon, Mercur, Green and Gordon constituting the majority, and SliarHwood,"Trunkey and Sterrett the minority. Thia is attracting general attention especially as tho dissenting opinions of Chief Justico Shurswoodj and his associates Trunkey and Ster rett aro endorsed by leading lawyers as being abler and more correct defini tions ot law than those of tho majority. Is it possiblo that politics und corpor ations control tho Supremo Court of Pennsylvania 7 In these days when the Cameron ring nominate the Judges, what better can bo expected ? What Will Thet Do? Tho Dem ocrats in tbc Now York Legislature hold tho balance of power between the two Republican factions. They can u ii i to with the so-called half breeds to defeat tho return of Conkling, or they can go ovor to the stalwarts and securo the return of tho Into Senators, or thoy can effect a dead lock and keep tho lio publican sore running for such advan tago as it may give them at tho Fall elections. This, of course, provided the factions do not, in tho meantime, harmonize. At the prosent stage it is impossible to foresee the precise course of events, but all the probabilities fa vor tho belief that the antagonism now eo sharply dovovolopcd will be intensi fied, rnthor than diminished.

The publishers and oditors of Truth, who wuru indicted lor publishing the Moruy loiter, lime just boon dix'hitrg. ed, the prosecution confessing its ina bility to show llmt they were the par lies to the ulLajc't tin (cry id the letter, or thai they even bail any knowledge that it was turu'd. I'lnlp, who wus charged with wilting It, was cuiice.Uil to tie iiiiioiviit. Tho dwliict iiltiirticy declurid biinsell iinuldu lo discover who hud committed whut ho claimed to havo been a public crime of excep tional gravity; but he wus satisfied that the parties accused were innocent. The presiding Judge concurred and they woro reluused. Yet these men were committed lor trial by n Judgo ol tbo Supremo Court, who is now shown to have done so upon evidence which is not deemed strong enough lo sond the case to a jury. This Judge, Noah Davis, ul the sumo time, it will bo remembered, undertook to call Mr. Hewitt to account for bis conviction of Ihegenuinenoss of Garfield's signature. A great deal of loud talk was indulged in on the eve ol tho election charging thai this letter was lorgod to the or der ot the Democratic Nutionul Com mittee, and the intlueuco ot thia blus ter on tho campaign was ell'ectivo. It is a striking coniinciitaiy un the bold ness of these assertions that u Repub lii an district attorney confesses him self unable ufler earnest effort for six months to find enough evidence us to tho origin of this letter upon which to base even a prima facie case ugnlnst any one. People are at liberty to think what they pleasu us to the origin of the Morey letter; and they may evon de cline to believe it u forgery. It has never been shown to be; and public judgment lias been suspended concern ing it awaiting the elucidation that would come from u trial of the forgers. There has been a general desire- to have (iarliuld testify from tho witness stand concerning its authorship. A good muny people felt that bo should suck such an opportunity to vindicate himself. He has not done so ; and this trial that was to givo him tho op portunity seems lo bo very willingly avoided by his political friends. If thero was evidence upon w hich a Judge of the Supreme Court could send those men to trial there ought to havo been evidence enough for a jury to consider; if there was not, tut Dis trict Attorney Rollins now says, tbon Judge Noah David bus no business on tho bonch. Our strong suspicion has been that Garfield wroto this Morey letter ; and il is not removed by the remarkublo announcement thut its forger cannot bo found, nor reasonable ground for suspicion as to who ho may have boon. Lancaiter Intdlicencir. A Democratic Victory. The re cent result in tho United Stales Sen ato was a complete victory for the Democrats; they carried every point that they stood out for except the or ganising ol the Senate Committees. They secured the officers of the Sen ato to hold over until tho regular ses sion ; they prevented the consumma tion of the iniquitous Mahono-Republican trado; they thus curtailed Ma hono's title to tho Federul patronage in Virginia, to be used in the interest of repudiation. Above all, they stood impenetrable! alike lo bluster und to wheedling, and made tho Republican party split into fragments. The ex tra session wus a Democratic victory, marred only by the fuct that Stanley Matthews whs confirmed. Hayes k Co. Hesponsiiilk. The World remarks: "Tho nlacnicy with which the holders ol tho nl 1 bonds have coino forward to clutch an inter est of SI per cent was anticipated by tho lust Dcmocmtio Congress, which properly and wisely insisted on limit ing them to 3 per cent. The net of President Hayes, by which the pur pose of Congress was defeated und the tax payers of the country were left ex posed to bo mulcted in ono-hall per cent, of additional interest, was an alarming exertion of arbitrary 'ono man' powor which must be robukod. Tbo rato of interest on the Govern ment debt must bo put down when Congress assembles to 3 per cent., und tbe Administration will be held to ac count for all that bos been exacted over that rato." The Matthews Oitraoe. The press loses no time in declaring that Stanley Matthews was confirmed by Democratic votes. We are sorry to say liu got moro Democratic votes than he should have received, and his confirmation is a disgrace Tbe press forgets to state that bo w aj nominated by one Republican President, whoso otlice was stolen, and again by another, and ull the Influence possible was brought to boar to help him through. As unfit as Matthews is for tho posi tion, he is us honest un the present type of Republican politicians; but this is not saying much in his tuvor. Don't (io.

Ono of tho sure indications that McClellan was the right man in the right place al that time wus tho tact that ho refused to move tho army until he hud gotten it thoroughly ready lo movo. lie tie dined lo bo hurried by outsider and by lbs insane ory of "on to Richmond," obedience to which in the first instance by Gun. Seott, resulted so disastrously at Bull Kim. Grn. McClellan had firm ness and determination enough not to pay any attention to the senseless urg ings of politicians and puoplo who did not understand the situation, and the result was thut when bo did movo hu moved with some cried, achieving a series of the most brilliant victories tho world had ever beard of. That tho end of tho campaign was finally disastrous was no fault of his. Ho was rising too fast and the party in power begun to fear him. lio had become thu idol of the army and people, and his name ho gan to bo associated with the Presi dency in opposition to thu re-election ot Mr. Lincoln. Then it was that the planners aud schomors dutormiiied thai he must be checked in his victorious career, even at tho expense of the pub lic interest and ul the cost of tho blood of tho bravest and best in tho nation. So his plan of campaign was interfered with and c.hungod by the Government. Forty thousand men under General McDowell, intended by Gen. McClellan to co-operate with bun, were detached I m in his army, as the Govern moiit said, for tho protection of Washington," but really liir the purpose of weakening McClellan nud compelling him to cease tho series of victories that was alarm ing the dominant party lor their suc cess at tho next Presidential election. All these (liins ate now generally un derstood by the country, und not only by our country alone but by foreign governments and people, and hence we see the cause of Gen. McClellan cham pioned by so alio a journal as tho Lon don SnlurJity R'-vieu: Malevolence and error may triumph for a time, but truth will always prevail in tho end, und history will not permit her real heroes to bo belittled by tlio selfish or envious carpings und criticisms of their con temporaries.

In every instanco when criticir.cd, llewit has undertaken to defend his defenseless and utterly inluraous con duct and has taken tho floor to mako a blackguard speech. It is in this that the Speaker excels, and his every effort is a shame and humiliation to the Commonwealth. Uowit's conduct toward Wolle yesterday was as usual without justification, but the black guard Speaker seems to find it neces sary at regular intervals to roliove himself of an amount of accumulated blackguardism, and it is pretty gener ally dirocted ut tho member irora Un ion, because that gentleman has hud tho conrago lo fittingly characterize on tho floor of tho Uouso llewit's con duct. The scene yesterday was equal ill its disgrucelul feutures lo anything that has preceded it. The Spouker insulted Mr, Wollo not only, but Iho whole Uouso, by his manner of putting the call for tho previous question. There was nothing whatever lo justify such conduct from the Chair. It showed a comploto unfitness of tho Speaker for his position, and all that was loll for Mr. Wollo was todenonnco tho action in earnest and appropriate t4'rms, wjiicb he did, Thcro was noth ing lull for tho Speakor to do bocauso he is incapablo of anything clso but to blackguard Mr. Wolfe from lha chair, and when ho found htt couldn't do from that position all tho black guarding which he seemed to think was demanded of him, he wont down on tho floor, nnd appears to have en joyed himself in blackguarding several members anil bringing disgrace upon the wbnlo House. These things llewit regards as "the awoot variety of legis lative life" Tho humiliating and disgraceful lact is that llarrisburg has never been allliclod with such a disreputable Speaker as llewit. His ignorance could be endured ; his vulgarity and luw-gtado view of everything could even be tolerated if he were moved by an honest purpose. Hut his whole courso shows him lo be just what Mr. Wollo somo time ago oil the floor of tho Uouso declared him to bo, "an abet tor of ringstcrs." He has not tlio re spect of ono decent member of the Uouso, and overy decent member is compelled to ohjoct to tho blackguard methods of the Speaker in order to save himsolf from shameless participa tion. Tho purposo of bis conduct yesterday was to aid a tew members as disreputablo as himself to deleat a bill wboso passage is demanded by the leading interests of this city and State, nnd they have temporarily succeeded. 1'hilaiielfhin Times. How He Whines. Gen. Grant has written a letter from Mexico, which is yublishod. It is not tho words of a stntcsman about national affairs, but lha complaint of a small politician, con demning President Garfield for tha manner ho distributes tha spoils, and pboldlng Conkling and Piatt In their course). Grant has lived too Ionic. UAXCOCh'OR THVRMAS 101 JSS4. It is perhaps a little too early t jlorecnsl tbe liitnre so fur as the Demo cratic candidutu fur next President is eonci-ruiil, but it is not too early to jimll uttuntioii to the fact thai time in daily revealing the splendid character in mo man wnn beaueil tlio ticket last l.veur. Unlike Ihnt of many inherit, .General If uncock s defeat is not ac counted for on tlio grounds of personul weakness, but on tho contrury, tbe 'people at large, Republicans us well as neinoeiuts, liuvo had their eyes opened lo the fact that Gnrlleld's election was secured by bargains made by Arthur i in .Now lork und ly Horsey through the coirupt uso of money iu ludiuna I which wuaslolcu from the Government by the Stur routo gung ot plunderers. ! These, and these alone, were tho fuo tors thut brought defeat to thu Democ racy. And fortunately the truth is being quietly unloaded in a way that lis most convincing. It is no "Demo crutio lio" that the people are asked to accept now. Il is simply the hold, unvarnished truth as revealed by tho ! history of passing events, j Thero are two Democrats iu tho ; country lo-tluy, cither of whom would I draw to his support in 1HSI tho musses I of thu people everywhere. Their jnntnoH uro Winfleld Scolt Hancock iaml Allen (!. Thurman. There is in lour opinion only one thing that will aland in the way ol General Hancock s triumphant success in tho next Demo crutio National Convention, and that is tho possible election this yoar of Mr. Thurman to bo Governor of Ohio. This would undoubtedly open tbe wny for a ready recognition ol tho staunch and true Kuckcye statesman by tho homoeruts in tho National Convention. Kut tho pooplo would rally around ci ther Hancock nr Thurman with a will, and tbo signs of the times point to the selection of one of these honored men as tho standard beuror of tbo Democ racy In Wl. Wilka-lltirre. Leader. THAT NEW BOOK. The New York Observer thinks tho New Testament revision the most val uable contribution ot Dihlical knowl edge which has been made within tho last two centuries. It will al once stimulate tho rootling tnd study of tho j Holy Scriptures, confirm faith, silence, cavil, cteur up the ohscuro and alto gether "shall accomplish which J pleaso." Un tho other bund, in Kn gtaud there is a chorus of disapproval over Iho changes which in tho Gospola average nino lo each five verses, and in F.pistlcs three changes to esch verse. Klnborute criticisms appear in most of tbo daily papoin, all condemnatory, and convicting the revisers of disre garding their pledges to introduce tbo lowest alterations possiblo. These ar ticles quote scores ot examples where the changes woro purely frivolous and capricious, nnd denounce the self opin ionated scholarship of the motley com bination of theologians and professors which has disfigured, mangled hod mode unrccognitablo somo of tho no blest passages in thu Hiblo. Other papers express in similar terms re gret, grief und astonishment at tho rovisure' wanton disregard of the rev erenco and lovo felt by tbo Knglisb people lor tho existing text, saying that tho revisers may know Greek, but not Knglish, and protesting against defacing tho noblest monument of En glish prose. D is understood that an act of Parliament is required to enforce the use of the new version by tho Ks tublisbed Church. Tho Government bus no intention of proposing such an act. All Patriots. A contemporary re marks : "ft is a remarkable- step to take," said ex-Govornor Seymour, re ferring to tbo resignations ol Senators Conkling and Piatt, and he added : "It will show to tho people that twenty years of license has broughl the Re publican party down toalile-and-doutb light for the possession of a few miser able oflices." It is now definitely un derstood that Conkling and Piatt will run again and with every chance of being re elected. A day or two ago all this was thought impossible. There are many curious things in this world, but politics heads the list. The National Dimmer. A cotem porary says that unless tho rumor is correct that ex-l'residont Grant is about to leave Mexico, ho will soon have company in the person of Air. Maurice Ignacio Prado, iato President of Porn, who, his own country having been pretty nearly wiped out by the Chilians, is now on bis way lo one where professional revolutionists have somo show for following their vocation. Messrs. Grant and Prado can givo each other valuable points. A - Loyal Derate. Distinguished Republican "Why, Gen. Butler, lorn delighted lo see yoa. Pray toll me, now, why you voted against Garfield at the Inst election." Gen. H. 1'. llutlor "I voted against him because ho is a thief. You and I, who woro in Congross together at tho time, know that ho is a thief. Now tell me why you voted for him." Distinguished Republican "Well, 1 suppose 1 voted for him because bo was tho candidato of my pnHy." Gen. U. F. Duller "Ah ! That's all ; pleaso bo seated." e . . Go for Tit em I An exebangj says : Somo of thu death bed insurance agents nro coming to grief. A Potlslown physician named Yorgcy, with others, lutB been arrested or conspiracy for insuring the lifo of Daniel Gohris, ogod eighty-four, on his death bed. The sooner theso ghouls aro brought to justice the better lor the world at largo. The Ronton Post, under tho enlight ened management of its now editor, Mr. Robert G.
