The Pittsburgh Post thinks there are two amendments to the Federal Constitution which ought to be adopted. One is the election of Unitod States Senators by the people the other providing that the Vico President shall not fill the unoxpired term of the President, but only until an election shall bo hold as now pro vided after the death or disability of the vice Presidont. To the latter we agree and second the motion. Adopt that feature ol the caso and the mo tive to kill the President will bo great ly abridged. The Democrats of Jefferson county have made the following nominations, vie: Presidont Judge, Col. Jamos B. Knox, of Clarion j Shoriff, S. P. An derson, of Clover township ; Prothon otnry, Thomas K.

" His edict prohibiting the sale of toy pistols and other dan gorous explosives in that city on tho Fourth of July, was properly enforced by bis police, and the record of "acci- donta" was thereby lessoned. He has now directed his officers to use their best efforts to arrost and prosecute al persons who shall carry any firearm, slungsbot or ether deadly weapon about their persons. It is to be hoped that Mayor King will succeed in break ing op this dangerous habit as success fully as he did in abating the to pistol nuisance. The practice of carrying pistols is becoming prevalent in city and town, and the consequence is seen in the number of murders that are committed on the highway and in sa loons. The law of the State imposes a penalty of one year's imprisonment in the penitentiary for carrying eon eealod weapons, and until It is enforc ed thore will be no diminution In the cumber of persons who will violate the law.

Tbe Philadelphia Times, in alluding to the new Senator from New York, chimes in on this schedule : "To apeak plainly and truth fully, Warner Miller is a disgrace to Congress, and the newspapers of tbe country, tho prosent half-breed organs among, thorn united in holding him up as an oxamplo ol all that is pernicious in the national Legislature. lie con fessedly became a member of tho House ot Representatives in ordor to protect his wood-pulp monopoly from a reduction of duty. His first appear- ance was beforo the Ways and Moans Committoe as an agent for bis own pe cuniary interosts, and tho most active work be did in Congress was as a lob byist on the floor, and yet he unblush ingly receives bis salary from tbo Gov ernment. These are the facts about Warnor Miller, and no amount of load ing articles calling him a statesman bocauso ho led a faction iu an Albany Speakership fight can gloss them over, Ho is already a disgrace to tbo House of Representatives, and the half broods propose to make him a disgrace to the Senate." Fuck Sayb: "What Fools There Mortals Be." Ovor a quarter of a cen tury ago, that standard Philanthropist, Horace Groely, (in bis latter duys) ad vised all young men to go West and grow up with tho country. Some went and wore confiscated by the grassbop pcrs.othorsworo wiped out by cyclones, and still thore are a fow left tho richest men in the world, outside of "blooded families." California and Nevada as sessments show that Mr. Jamos G. Fair heads tbe personal assessment roll just filed In San Francisco with 1 42,200,000. Mr. J. C.

In one senso thi is true ; his resignation creatod tho op portunity for tbem in their present capacity. But it is hard on Conkling to say that he prevented the Half Breeds from making a proper choice. Men who have reputable alms will seek to carry them into effect by reputablo methods. The result looks like closing out a bad job with cheap men. Conk ling should have put better mon on bis staff if be wants the public to beliore be is an bonost statesman. A Sensible Act. The Uarrisbnrg Patriot remarks : Stale Troasuror But ler has done well in refusing to approve a contract for supplios awardod at an extravagant sum and deserves crodit for his watchfulness and fidelity. He will do the State additional service by publishing a statement of the oondi tion of the sinking fund, showing its present amount, of what It consists and where the moneys belonging to It are deposited. No sinking fund or general fund statement has peon published for a year or more. Candid at Least. The New York Times, one of the leading Radical organs, in alluding to the election of tbe new Senator from that Stale, says New York has got two Senators of no remarkable ability, and about whom it would be absurd to indulge In any expressions of State prido. An Indistrt Revived. Tho hoop- skirt factories are again running with a full head of steam. The etyle calls for small hoops now, but doubtless tbe balloon arrangement is impending. SHOULD THE VICE PltESl VEX T li ECU MKl' li KSIUEN T I It seems to be a gruve question, says the Doylvstown Democrat, whether the period lias nut arrived whon Vico Pres ident Arthur lion ui asnume tbe duties ol tho Presidential ofileo. Wo can come to no other conclusion by reading thu Constitution. The 0th section of article II. is as follows : In can of tho rouoril of Iho President from nnYie, or of bil death, ronle;net!on, or Inability to diMBarge tbo poweri and dutlei of tho eaid on ee, tbe eeme ehall derolTO on the Vine l'retldeut. Has not one of tho conditions pro vided for In the Constitution, whon tho duties of President shall devolve upon the Vice Presidont, arrived T No one will contond that the Presidont is able to discharge the "powers and dulio. " dovolved upon him by the Constitu tion. His case is one of pure Inability to discharge theso powers and duties The bulletin ot one of his medical at tendants stated, a few duys ago, that ho was entirely helpless, could not movo a limb, and could only movo his tongue. If this does not disablo him for tbe perlormance of his duties, it is hard to toll what would. If thero be truth In tho actual condition of the Presidont, as reported, be cannot write his namo. It soems to us a caso whon tho ice President should discharge the Pros! donlial duties. If Vice President Ar thur Bhould assume tho Presidential olllco, it does not follow that tho dis charge of theso duties should continuo longer than until the Presidont should be restoiod to health. There is notli ing-ln tho Constitution to provont him resuming them when be Is fit to meet their responsibility. A Goon Man Gone. Tho news of Dean Stanley's death will be received In this country with vory general and sincere regret. No British clorgyman since Charles Kingsley died was bet tor known or more highly esteemed on this sido of the Atlantic than the amiable and accomplished Dean of Westminster. Every American who visits London makes a pilgrimage to tbe Abbey, and so it came about that to very many of us Dean Stanley was, it wero, an old friend, oven though the friendship might all bo on one sido. Hiseharactor was, moreover, one which appealed with peculiar forco to Amcri can sympathies. In the beet senso of tho word he was a Liberal. Ho was singul irly and pre-eminently free from that tenilor.cy to dogmatio conserva tism and narrow-mindedness by which in so large a measure his countrymen are distinguished, and while bimscll a man of clearly defined and firmly founded convictions, ho was always ready to respect the convictions of others and to recognize what was or thy of praise whenever ho found it. His all-embrachig charity not un frequently brought his orthodoxy into suspicion, but ho felt that Christianity is above creeds, and unmovod by ro- proachos, he kept tho even tenor ol his way. Tbe church which bo hon ored will find it hard to fill bis place. Postoffice Thieves. An exchange relates the following : "More evidenco as to tbe Star postal route swindlers has boon discovered. It now appears that the ringstors used all their influ once to have Garfield appoint a Post master General of their own kidnoy, but failed, Then they triod their ut most with Postmaster General James to have soother ring man appointed in tbo place of Brady, but again failed, Now thoy are working with pcrtinaci ty and skill to avoid conviction and imprisonment. Tbe lute developments show that Route No. 32,021, running from Vinita, Indian Territory, to Las Yejfas, New Moxico, was 'expedited and raised from the original contract of 1(5,330 to I150.CM.03 under Brady's skillful manipulation." The scoun drelism that has recently been unco'v erod in the Postoffico Department, es tablishes the fact that tbo Government Bureau is as corruptly managed as tbo Indian branch in the Department of the Interior. In tact, wn tear that rogues, instead of statesmen, are man aging every dcparlmcntol tho Federal G overn m ent OUR DECL1X1XO TOXXACTE. Tbo Pall Mall Gazette, in an articlo on the decline of Amorican tonnago, and the rapid increase of English, says "For the Bentral carrying tbe trade the Amor- leaae appear 10 have altogether giroB ap the truggle.

Amorican com- merco is rapidly passing into English hands, and in a few yoars our flag will be driven from tbo ocoan. Speculative Insurance. The Al toona Tribune Bays : "A case of spoo ulation in life has just been brought to our notice from Mill Crook, Hunting don county, in which it is said several prominent eititens ar engaged. Tho subject of the speculation Is Mrs. Wm, Lightnor, a lady ovor 80 years of ago. who has beon in quite a procarious stale of health for more than a yoar past. Within the past year policies to tbe amount of ovor 1100,000 have been issued upon her lifo by the different oompanios engagod in this disreputable speculative business. A recent tiro at Wallace, Michigan, destroyed two saw mills, the railroad depot, sovoral storos and alublos, Iwenty-fivo dwellings, the whole year's stock of logs and a large quantity of piled lumber, posts and telegraph pules. A school houeo and two dwellings are all that is loft of the village. The loss is estimated at 175,000, and it noarly all falls on a Mr. Mcllarsmilb, who owned tbe greater portion of the place.

I Tho liidgwuy .tiiwii'f records i lie following: , j Several years pio-t thu cilir.ens tit ' Iiitlgway Lave heun alternating lu-i tween luu r un 1 hope in relation to tho building ol u railroad Irotti Alton, M'Koun county, to Falls Creek, in Clearfield county, Surveys have been 1 made, iiluna tulked ol, unit al tunes r ii mors have been rile lliul tho con tracts had beun let for the grading ol tho road. All Iho railroad Luilding has ended in talk until recently. The lust week in June and the first week in July thero seemed to be a storm browing again in relation to tho rail road, and lor once talk seemed to be tuking shnpo. All tbo idla men about were hired, prices ranging lrora l -i" to 03.00 a day. Parties of surveyors were rushing hither and thither, until, to a casual observer, tho woods scorned to be alive with railroads and railroad men. The wildest of rumors were afloat. One day B00 men woro going al onco to work on tho grading, and iho next a gang ol Hungarians woro coming ; then that Jay uouia was go ing to build a road, bhaulics lor tno accom inodation of work men were hasti ly constructed, along the proposed line Irom Johnsonburg to the mouth of Toby. Tho Hungarians came, lots ol other men came, and on Monday of this woek tho work of grading on two railroads was actually commencod. A company, chartered under tho name of the Howard Hill Improvement Company, ol which Gen. Titos. L. Kane was the leader, bun I a section oi roaci scvoral miles long, ending at Johnson burg, about nine miles west ot Kiug way on the P. A K. Ituilroad. liccenlly tho name of this company has been changed to tho Now York, Lake Erio and Western Coal and Ituilroad Com pany, (which nnmo, it will no doubt be observod, sounds strangely like tho .New lork, Tiake r.no and Western ituilroad Company, still another com panv). Of tho new company, Genorul I bos. 1j. Kane is 1'rositiunt. 1 be r.no road is supposed to be furnishing tho money for the new enterprise. This supposition is strengthened by the fact tliut tho hiel .engineer oi the r.ne road, O. Cbanuto, was bore a few days ago, looking over the road. I Ins com pany propeses to build a road Irom Bullavillo, M'Kean county, which is near Alton, and the southern terminus ol tho Uullalo, Bradlord and Pittsburgh road to falls Creek, a point on tho Tiow Grade road In Ulcarneld county, sixty-two miles from tho mouth ot Red liank. 1 hon they proposo to construct branch road from Brockwayville, Jefferson county, to tho Dagus mine in Elk county. 1 hey have commenced grading on Dickinson's flat, near the bouse at tbo bead of the race, and pro ceeding in a southerly direction down the Clurion river. J. L. M urpby is the contractor for this grading and has a gang of twenty Hungarians doing work under tno direction ot Michael Luby. About twenty-five rods of the road Is graded already lor the tics. The work of grading is being pushed right along. 1'his road will he obliged to cross the Clurion river near the head ol Dickinson's race and across by Ostorhotit's tannery. Tho Pittsburgh and Now York, a ro cenlly organized company, is building tno rival road, litis organization is following tho surveying parties with gangs fur grading, and have done, and are doing, considerable work on tho ntU-side on Iho west bank ot Iho Ular- lon from tho bead of Dickinson's race to a point opposite Osterhoui's tannery Tom Miller and H. 8. Thayer each have gangs of diggers, and Jim Iilunes has charge of a squad of axemen. This morning, whon wo passed along the lino, they wero working as busy as as nailors. And all day long tbe sound of axe and pick maybe beard along tbe rugged hill side, it is an itnpossi bility to build two roads on this sido- hill, and as both companies want to run along there it Is, In a measure, the batllo ground ot tho tight, ibo fills burgh and New York road lias the ad ventage, as thoy bought of James Me Farland, Dr. Bordwell, and others own ing land on tbe hill, not only the right ot way, but the land in toe simple. Thoy also havo possession, which is supposed to be about nine points of the law. At Johnsonburg there seems to be much bitterness, as the mrn of the re spective roads are working side by aide. It was rumored one mdrning that one sido buift a shanty close to tho other's lines. Tbo side opposed to the duiui- ing bad occasion to remove a rock near the shanty and blow up tbo whole businosa. Tbe line of rond between Ridgway and Johnsonburg Booms to bo tho most in dispute, and is at pros ent occupied by both companies. The Pittsburgh and i'ew York Cumpany have the road occupied by a large lurce ol men tho wnolo distance. The Govornor has but recently is sued a charter for Hie Pittsburgh and New York Railroad Company, which promises to build a road from a point opposite tho mouth of Redbank to the mouth of Mahoning, thonce by tho Brookville and Ridgway railroad to Uradlbid. The length ol tbe road is to be 140 miles and it is to run through tbecountiesof hlk, forest and Ueltean From surlace indications it might bo predicted that a new railroad is only a question ol the time necessary to build and equip the same.

Now developments tending to show tho rottenness ot tbe Star Route mail aorvice and the extent of its ramifica tions id this city wore disclosed boro yesterday, for some days post ru mor had been busy with many names, and though tbe warrants lor the par ties wore only issued yesterday Joseph T. Ford had bean engagod as counsel by suspected persons as early as Sat urday lust. How those referred to becatno cognizant of the fact that they would soon require tho sorvices of a lawyer the postal authorities cannot divine. United Stales district Attor ney Valentino, Assistant Postmaster Bingam and Postal Agont Barrett were closeted together fur nearly tbrco hours on rridny lost, consulting npon the matter and it is inferred that there must have been a considerable leak nnmo where. Warrants woro issuod tor Thomas MoDovilt, 1223 North Sovon toonth st i cot; U. Logrand Ensign, 2IM4 IV orris street; Jjonjamin B. Wiley, 1738Franclsstreot,and Christian Prioo. MoDovilt and Ensign woro taken into custody early yostorday afternoon and woro givon a preliminary boaring be fore Lnitcd States Commissioner Gib bons, on a charge of conspiracy to de fraud tho United Slates Government. Wiley, who is a mochunic, put in a bid, in the eatly part or 1880, for car rying the mail over certain Star Routes and was awarduq lour contracts. These wore : No. 40,117, from Tucson to Tombstone, Aritona, for 1 1)!)0 ; No 41,141, from Fillmore to Fresno, Utah, l,950j No. 41,142, Irom Frisco to Osceola, Utah, at $1,400, and No. 41,- l4J,lromrJaintUoorge to Saint i nomas, Utah, at 11,000.

McDovitt is a well-known Contractor. Ho appeared in the United States Court soverul timet in connection wilh illicit whisky distillsig some years ago. Ho was formerly believed to bo a man of considerable meins, but lost nearly all of bis properly through litigation. I'.nmgn, besides beng engaged in the practice of the law at 705 Suiisont St.. is said to bo connected with iho fiiin of Nuphoys, Knsigi 4 Co., lump man uiaciurcrs.niiiingijttiilen at root, above Fifteenth, ilo is bout 30 years of ago, intellectual looking, slender, with a luxuriunt reddist beurd. His man ners aro quiet and refined and bo was thurougbly selt-potscssed during the proceedings. MeUcvitt was arrested at Sixth and Walnut streets by Deputy Marshall Marple. Ho expressed no surprise and como along without offcr- ng any resistance, lie bad known thai such a courso night be taken fur some weeks, and said that he had been definitely assured os Friday, but that no bad taken no pains to avoid arrest. "1 am confident that 1 have done nothing wrong," he said to a Timet reporter lost night. "1 reposed confi dence in thero people, that is all. I supposed at the lime that they wore were square, now could 1 have known otherwise? 1 am an old mail contractor. I bad five routes in Montana, Dakota and Idaho. 1 had sub let them but 1 havo never been in any trouble on ao count of them. 1 supposed that I knew enough almnl the business to give others advice and I told several peoplo what was best to do. I gave Joseph Black some advice. 1 was in lite front room when the notary visited Hlnek's office and 1 am tho person whom the notary mistook for 'Joe' Gibben. But tbo advice that I gavo was fuir, bonesl advice, such as one business man might give to an aasooi ato. Let these people push their suit. I can meet it. All that 1 dread is tho big lawyers' lues that thoy will force mo to pay. HIIIFTINU THE BLAME. Ensign was sitting in tho counting room of Naplieys, Ensign & Company's establishment when Deputy Marshal McCormick tapped him on tho shoul der and remarked that ho had a war rant foe him. Like McDevitt Ensign evinced nosnrprise. "Well, I suppose I shall havo to go," ho said, after reading tho paper. "I didn't know that I had done onytliing wrong," he said as he wslkod along. "1 was in duced to sign that popcr without kuowing what was in it. I don't caro lor my property. You might take all that, if only this matter could bo kept secret. My reputation will be de stroyed." Wiley, like the others, was ready to pni an mo oinmo lor the crime upon his associates. He told Inspector Barrett the other day, whon question ed upon the subject, that he was igno rant of tho naluro of the agreement wmcn ne baa made, and that he was induced to enter into it bv McDevitt. Prico, the surety, who swore to being worm bjo.uoii, is said to bo an associ ate of Ueorge Rankin, the bogus bail furnisher, and not to be worth thirty five thousand cents. Criminal prose cution will be issued in each case. Wiley and Price succeeded in elud ing the officers and wore not under arrest at midnight. MARRJAQB MADE EAS'. Premiums Paid on Matrimony.

It will be observed that tho Directors always come out whole, wbilo some of the other fellows are compelled to throw np the sponge. The writer says: Marriage insurance is becoming as contagious in rennsyivania ana ad joining titutos as denth bed and insur ance, there is likely to be as much criticism of it. In somo counties the Judges refuse to grant charters to tho marriago insurance companies, but tbo poru'os who aro rofused apply in a neiguuunng junstiiciion anu are suc cessful. They roadily procure a char ter or license to go into the business of guaranteeing single young mon and women ono thousand dollars, more or loss, whon thoy marry. Soliciting agent find it very plain sailing in the country districts, and do considorunie business among the young womon by assuring them that young men seeking wives invariably select a young woman who has bad sufficient business tact and judgment about her to get herself insured in time. The consequence IS that the young women pay over thoir hard earned dollars and tbun revel in the hope that very Boon a young man will oome along hunting a who; inai ne will select her; that she will get 11,000 soon after hor wed ding day from the company, and that little fortune will be so very handy to nave in ine bouse lo buy a parlor and bedroom set, carpols, a home, a fow cows and many odds and ends to start married life with, Those concerns, more properly, should be cnlM guarantee oompanios. They only do business with unmarriod people. No capital is required to start a company moro than is necessary to pay for a charter, furnish an office," pay lor tbe printing of a lot of blanks, circulars and letter heads, and start out a lot of agents. A few hundred dollars is sufficient. Agents scour the country, scatter the splendidly word ed circular broadcast, and in a few months, 1,000 younir people have join ed class A, and paid (4 each to beoomp participating members. Nome compa nies do not chargo as much. Out of this 14,000 paid in, the agents receive their very large percentage for com missions, say (1,000, and the balance goes to tbe directors. Whenever any one member of elam A is married, be or she sends in the certificate of mar riago duly witnessed by the local agent, ! and the company al imcu proceed to collect $1 from each of I he IMl'.l oilier' memlxirs id thai elasa. Tn.-v prompt ' ly respond, uud thu directum, alter UV : dueling 20 percent, ol llu !!! so col j lected, srnd tho balance the im-m i her u tin is married. 'I'l-e i-ontpai y t: expeoled to do this if II is k"Vci reii l,y i honest principles of liuein-ss. Hence tho directors receive ncmly 200 front i ever)' member who Inutile, as their! charge tor collecting the uhi-mi!ciiIs. Some companies with less brass charge but 10 pur cent, lor collecting aastwa- j monts, and return about (000 lo the beneficiary. Tbo bolter kind of com.' puny charges but 5 per cent. Tbo per son marrying drops out of tho cluss, and as fast as marriages occur, hew members tiro substituted tu keep thu cluss full. Somo successful companies have three full classes going. Chil dren 13 yoars of ago aro received as mo-nbers and assessed so much. The younger the portion is, tbo less tho rate, and tbe older tbe higher. The olll ciuls protend to have a system, based upun careful calculation, as lo mar riuge probabilities, just tho sumo as tho old lino lifo companies have us to death probabilities. Hence it will bo seen that a young woman engaged to be married a year from date may join a company, pay hor initiation fee, run Ihochancos of half i a dozen assessments, and whon she is married sho will receive, if she's fairly dealt with, about (000. If hor intended is smart, bo will join a company, and ho, too, will receive ('.100 sixty or ninety days after sufficient prools have been received of his marriage. Thus fur tho experiences of somo young men and young women in the murrtago insurance business is inter esting. A Schuylkill county young lady loft her homo becsusu she could not bear lobo rldicuK u about her mis lorlune with her intended, fjhu thought she was to bo married lu-t month, but the young man ran away and left her. Now sho has neither (DUO that she would have received nor u husband. The details of her bad luck leaked out, and she went to Philadelphia to escapo tho taunts and gibes of her ruder ac quaintances. Across in the next county, Lohigb, two young peoplo wero married. Tbey belonged to different companies. In less than thirty days they fought and separated, but tho proof's of their mar riago hud been sunt in to the homo oflico and in due course ol time each received the amount of money duo, and they are now separately enjoying it. Tho young woman is off on a trip to Europe and tho young man started a harness-making shop. There arc many who now chargo tliut tho young oman just married to gut her money und never intended to live as a wife to that man. Some say that she boasted of tbe trick sho was going to play to get money to see Paris. A young woman ol Lehigh county was compelled to withdraw from her class membership because, she said she baa in.1 assessments in two months, and to pay (l for each was a tax much heavier than she could bear. "Why, it seems to me," said she, "that all the mombors of our class were getting married at onco. My father refused to help mo any further, so I was com pelled to drop out ol the class after I bad paid (S3 " An industrious young mechanic, working in the shops in Lebanon, join ed a company sixteen months ago. Three months ago he was married, and yesterday he recoived (900, which ho is using to Improve his homo. He said : "I am about (730 ahead of the invest mont, and I consider myself very fortunate. It's all right fur a young man to go in. If bis girl goes back on him, he can very easily get another, and be will do so rather than continue to pay the heavy drain of assessments. But a modest young woman can't 'go courting' and choose a husband as a man can a wife. If sho has a fall-out with her Intended, or he deserts her, she has got to wait until another man oilers." A gentleman who is largely inter ested in the business made ibis state ment ; "The business is pcrfeotly legiti mate. A thousand unmarried neonle agree to pay (1 to each member of tno class as soon es they aro married. We simply do tho organizing and col lecting and obarge a small percentage for it. No bad results are al all likely to happen, as in the wild-cat death bed insurance, so called. Some companies bavo it so arranged that if persons do not got married in a certain number of y ears they will be entitled to quite a nice sum in time, which the compa ny will psy. Thore may bo Borne companies that may have been imposed upon, as we hear of, and which you say yon also have board about, but nearly all tho companies are vorv strict and do not luke people without any Character or woo bavo no respect lor tue marriage vow. 1 lie comra nies hereabouts aro all honest and trustworthy." TUE D1FFEREXCE. In 1870 the Republicans stole the President Irom tbo Democrats, This thero is no denying, as no clearor traud was ever provon than that which fol lowed the investigation ot tho olections in several Southern States. There was nut a Democrat in tho land, and many Republicans also, who did not know that the President in that year was counted in by lraud of the blackest dye. And yet with a patriotic forboar ance never before equaled in tho history of any nation, that parly which cast a a large majority of the popular voto ot the nation peacefully yielded to the beiniousonmo, and never once attempt ed by intimidation or threat to inter fere wilh the man who accepted the Presidency at the bands of those who bad perpetrated ibis groat fraud. Now tho Republican party tbo party to which Mr. Gai field belongs is divided into two laotions,botweenw hich the bitterest feelings exist. Bribery and corruption is openly practiced among the rival Republican leaders. Their President has been threatened with impeachment by the mon who were once bis Inenda. 11 is bands have been tiod by plotters in bis own party. He has bocu tiaruased and threatened on all sides. Tbe breach botwoen theso rival factions has widonod, until an im passable gull lies belweon them. On one sido stands the Presidont, Intent on discharging bis duties as he under stands thorn, and on tbe olbor tho Vice President, backed by the stalwart ring, scowling back at his chief. It has frcnnontly boon said Binco tho Inaugu ration of Mr, (,arlold thai if be should dio a Radical change in the adminis tration would follow his doalb. 1 1 was hints such as this, added lo tho bitter tight in bis own party that led the funallo Gultcau on the 2d of July to draw bis pistol and attempt to take the life of the man who stood In the way of tbe further grasp of power by tho stalwart ring. Surely Republicans should appropriate a portion ol tbe for bearance and patience exhibited by tbe Democrats whon they wero doiibor atoly defrauded out of thoir President in 1870.
