Cabinet and cornpromifsubh intefrrity by
Rhfoaiatitig wilh lh- persistent ndvrcntf b
of a tbird terra? True, Gen. Gwnl says
fio has rotired from politics forever; but
does anydispasslon&fo man believe that

in fact that they could not bo recalled to

President Arthur is a shrewd politician.
Ha has long boen twined in a school and
araong men, whoso tec-muss of iukllcrt
and shrewd diplomacy, have carried the
day on rnany bard fonght political bat
tle fields and he is an apt scholar. He
bas acted throughout the bric-f period ho
has held the exalted position to which ho
sriccci-ded by a raostuufortunate circum
stance, with great circumspection. Ho
has carried himself wilh remarkable dig.
tiity aud' I1113 mot the exigencies of his
office with commendable judgment. But
be is barked and ndvlaed by men whoso
taot is proverbial. They have not crowd
ed about him since his elevation. Their
individuality has not been felt in any
wy, shape or manner; but their fine
Band" is to be seen in every thing ha baa
done since ho took the oath of oftlce. No
ona know better than thtse men that it
would not have been polilio or well, to
obtrnda thoruselves ou politicians gemr-
Blly and the public particularly, so emly
iu Arthur's Administration and they dis
creetly remained quit until theincid'nt
al excitement of tho assusina'ion of a
beloved leader, shall have died out. But
dors any sane man bolievo that President
Arthur bas not been advisedj by them
rlnring all this time? Unquestionably
ha bas acted upon Ibeir advice. His every
action has been directed by them. Every
move he has made has been in accord
anoo with theirwishesandat their de-sire
and it Lai worked magically in allying
alarm and calming publlo excitement.
If names have been mentioned in con
nection with Cabinet appointments, they
have been those of men who could com
mand pnbllo respect becansa their rec
ords are deal, but none of these men
have obtained the offices with which
their names have been associated. Tho
necessary nominations have been sent
to tha Senate in only ono ca&e, and in
that particular instance, Author knew
that the gentleman he nominated would
not accept tho position under auy cir
cumstances. By his course President Author bas
wonpraise as a man who means to ad
minister the high office with entiro re
gard for the rcspousibilites of the prsl
tlon, without regard to polilicxl nec:ssi
ties. But there is one thirg bohiud all
this which will bear watching.
When Chester A. Author Khali have
called to bis council board lioueit and
ruspeoled men, aud have dug ont root
and branch the profligacy and extrava
gance which characterized the infamous
administration of Grant, and has prose
cuted to a aucccEiful issue the krnves
who robbed the country nnder tho fes
tering protection of the fraudulent Hayes,
then wo will be among the first toaccoid
him praise. But until be bas done this,
and bas shown himself to be worthy of
praise and respect, we thall withold even
0 modicum of the flattery which so-calU
d independent journals have been poirc
what lavish in according him, because
we know Author to be a politician whose
Ways have been devions, and whose po
litical supporters to-day are men whose
actions are adroit, aud will bear tho
keenest scrutiny.
Rutherford B. Hayes was ntver elect

Ex-Gov. Morgan, of New York, was
nominated by President Author for Sec
retary of the Treasury, and declined.
Of course the admiring Journalistlo ad
vocates of Anthor nay that a misunder
standing was at the bottom of it, and
they express regret that tbo Government
is not to bavo tho benefits of Mr. Mor
gan's great experience and wiso counsels.
This i 1 all very fine. But we did not ex
pect, nor do wo bt-llovo any reasonable
nun thought that Gov. Morgan would
accept a position iu the President's Cab

WASHINGTON.
Faoxi oua 8rEcrL ConREsr-oNDnxi-.
Washikoios, Oct. 21, 1881.
The indications are abundant and to
bs seen on every hand, that Washington
the Federal Capital is to become the
winter residence and resort of the wealth,
tho cuUuru and the pleasure seeking
thouands of this great and rapidly grow
ing nation of fifty millions of people.
Tho large number of flue duellings that
have been erected in our city during the
past two years, the equally large number
iu process of erection and which are
coufiuo-1 to no locality, but employed as
ono might fancy to eb corale every eligi
ble site the growth and extension of our
publia parln tho comprehensive plan of
river front improvement mre to be in
augurated by the approaching Congress
are assurances, if any were noedcd.that
the future of Washlngle.u is dotermineel.
If it were not a hackuyed iown, the ac
me of descriptimi luigbt ba obUIned by
styling it the "Winter Saratoga." That
WHhhingtou tei-day is the mo t beautiful
city in America ia not disputed, but on
the contrary gladly admitted by nil, and
by nouo mora hoanl)y thau these who
have not visited it siuce it was dug out
of tbo Potoniaejiiiar. he-t, aud placed on
high and dry ground. Its miles upon
miles of mipcib pavements, eially increas
ed in length, itsscores of parks, its beau
tiful boulevur.is, its thousands upon
thotnaudi of trees, its btutuuy, tho vari
ation in its public and privito architec
turenot to mention its public buildings
its mammoth libr.ay, its ait treasures,
and tbo almost inuuinerablu notables who
make it their winter residence, or are
brought withiu its confines by interest or
curiohity, are a few, and only n few, of
the attractions wbieh impress the casivil
vUitors, even if lightly est eraed or half
forgotten by the ps-rina-unt dwellers.
Th j excursionists to Yorktowu will n-
turu to Washington this m-iruiug. Tne
Despatch, with the President, thonld ar
rive at ou early hour. Tho Secretary ot
War, Gen. Sherman uud the other uruiy
officers, the Secri-try of tho Navy and
Admiral Porter, with the other represen
tatives of the Navy, ure expected here
eaily this morning. The ExceMor with
the C .ngretsioual eitlcktioa left York-
toun At au txirly hour last evaoiug, aud
should bs in p'-rt about daybreak. The
C.ty of (JaUUill is also duejtliis nicmiing,
with the French and German visitors; up
to miduignt, however, 110 tUegmm bad
bocu received by the proprietor of the
Arlington to prrpare lor, tuiir reception.
The touie at 1L0 u buries promises to be
a lively one UU nwnlng.
The reason fir the distinction made
letwovn certain of the Fmnch national
gUkktsuud those 1 rem G imai'v, is thus
explained by one iiu:twnz-il to vpeak
from a huowh dge of lite lae-ls. Certain
of the French g- ulemen i.r sent by the
government of Frauce t liircctlr repre
sent its various brandies the "thers come
as our gnestir, rrfi riventijK the descend-
aut ol Ltayttta and RocLambeun, and
others wha fought fer ua a century ago,
but arc uriotly ptiv.-t.- citizens, and a
such yirld prred nee to tha official rep.
rcjentatives of their government. This j
last is rqnally true of all tha Germane,
Done oi whom were sent' to represent their
government, but came asprivato citizens
only, representing Van Steuben family.
Therefore on state occasions the official
representatives of tbo French government
must be given precedence of all other
foreign guests. The Gorman visitors, it
may bo added, all called at tbo French
legation while bore.
This morning in tho Criminal Court,
Jndge Cox, Mr. Geo. Scoville, the coun
sel for Gulloau, was early in Attendance.
There were present only a few members
of the bar, because It Is said many wero
fearful that if Mr. Scoville asked for the
Assignment of counsel to assist bim they
might be at assigned if. present. Mr.
Scoville held it consultation with Judge
Cox, with whom bo left a printed copy of
his "points on application of defendant
for an order of Court allowing witness
fees," etc. Ha had also a short confer
ence wilh District Attorney O' r'ichill.nnd
then left tbo court room. Mr. Scoville
said, after leaving the City Hall, that it
was agreed that his motion for allowance
of witnesses' fees would ba granted to
morrow morning, and counsel would
then be assigned to assist him in the le
fence It is definitely stated that Jndge
Cox will asyigu General 8. B. Hinkle and

WAsnisOTOH, D. C, Oct. 25,1881.
Yorktown was Hie central point during
a part of last week and Washington was
for tbo time pretty much deserted by its
officials and celebrities. For several days
the cotniDg and going of troops en route,
and tho arrivi.l hereof various Governors
and their staffs filled tho city with strang
ers and enlivened rjurslreets.to say noth
ing of tho hotel oorridors. The old Po
tomao has not presented such n gala ap-
pearacco before during my sojourn at the
Capital. All tho steamers on tbo river,
with aeveral Navy vessels, profusely deco
rated with bunting, have gone up And
down tho river loaded to the water line
with human freight. The President and
Cabinet, Army and Navy officers, Sena
tors, Congressmen and foreign diplomats
wore among tho passengers. Along the
river front and nbnnt the harbor flsgs
have been displayed while tho unusual
stir aud tbo beating of drums almost sug
gestcd actual preparations for war.
Upon tho historical spot where Com-
wallii surrendered there was gathered a
larger crowd, military and civil, than it
is likely ever to sea again. Iu all its
main features tho Ycrktowu of to-day,
which was tbo scene of the culminating
struggle that virtually brought the War
of Independence to a triumphant close,
finds its chief difference from tho little
port of entry, where tho Nelsons and tho
Pages lived in patriarchal fashion a con-
tnry ago, in the ravages that timo has
wrought.- Tho principal features tf the
pltcsaretho same. The little custom
house still remains. Thero are still tracts
of the eerthworks thrown up during the
8e!ge, and tho fine old Nelson mansion
btill rears its stalely head, though iu a
condition of dilapidation and dsoay. The
Yorktown of a century ago was again the
seat of mimio war. Soldiers wera en
camped on its now barren fields, aud on
its waters ships rode at anchor, with tho
flags of France and America unfnrled. It
was a gracefn.1 act of courtesy to invite
the descendants and representatives of
those who participated in our revolution
ary struggle to assist at the centennial
celebration of its successful termination
on the spot where Cornwallis laid down
bis arms and surrendered the 7,000 men
of bis command prisoners of war. Tn
Lafayetto and Ilocbambeau, Count do
Grasse and tho naval and military forces
of Franco the country owes a deep debt
of gratitnde, as well as to the able Ger
man soldiers. Steuben and DelCalb.wbom
Franco engaged to assist 'is in our strug
gle. But lor Franco the war might have
contiuued indefinitely as A forlorn and
desperate conflict, such as a people in
tent ou liberty can wage with all the odds
against them. She supplied the colonial
Government with money, nrms, men and
munitions of war. It was her fleet of 21
ships of war that participated in the seige
of Yorktown, and of the 10 000 men that
constituted the besieging force nnder
Washington, France contributed 7,600.
Mr, Field has just given out u bulletin
showing the condition cf Mrs. Garfield's
fund, stating that after purchasing regis
tered four per-ccnt bonels to the amount
of $300,000, there is still about S12 000
on baud. The premium of these bonds
amounted to S13.0CS.7S. Nothing bet
ter illustrates the impnlsiveucss of Amer
ican character than the outpouring of
this lari'e sum of money from private
purses to the Widow of the late President,
Aud while all are glad to see her amply
provided for, I cannot help thinking that
the matter is being overdone. Mrs. Gar
field has in addition to this fund a com
fortable home in lentor worth $20,000,
a bouse in Washington worth 812,000,
besides S35 000 iu money from life in
surance policies and the probability of
$50,000 or SlOO.OOOfrom Congress. Thus
she is practically worth half a million
dollirs--mora than she can ever use and
more than enough to start all of her chil
dren handsomely in life. What need was
there for all this, and bow utterly fool
ish was tho proposition to raise another
fund for the President's mother. All this
suggests the inoonsistenoy of our philan
thropy.sometlmes.and bow high position
often e-liets an overplus of sympathy. Iu

CASTING A TWENTY-TON WTt.
Flfly-ilx thousand pounds ofmoilen Iron
were icady at the Reading Iron Worki,Read
Ing, Pa., Monday for the calling of the
Lyman-liaikell accelerating, or multi
charge, gun, and an Interested company
gathered to see the casting. The gun, Its
inventors claim, is to effect a radical change
In modern gunnery. Tho theory of Uie in
ventors Is that they can givo Increased ve
locity to a ball, with less danger of hunting
a gun, than has heretofore been deemed
possible. Their plan Is to firet overcome the
inertia of the projectile by a moderate charge
of coarse grained powder burning tlowly.
As soon at the firs', force of this is expanded
another charge Is exploded immediately bo
hind tho prnjertilo. This discharge Is fol
lowed by two other discharges in succession,
so that conitant force is added as the pro
jectile passes through the gun, while no ono
discharge of powder Is as great as Is now
used for a similar projectile.
Experiments have been made for years in
perfecting this gun for range, for penetra
tion, and velocity. One test was made at the
Washington Navy Yard between a 8-Inch
boro Whitworth English gun and a 2-!ncb
bore multlchargc gun fired at the same tar
get, which enniitted of wrought iron plates
S Inches thick, backed by 18 inches of solid
oak timber, at 200 yards distance. The
English gun fired three 80-pound shot, not
one of which penetrated the target. Tho
mullicharge gun lired two shots, ono of
which went through the target and about
100 yards bojond. The English gnn used
about 14 pounds of powder and did not
penetrate one diameter of its bore. The
American gun penetrated to more than
twice the diameter of its bore and used less
than 7 pounds of powder. The penetration
of the Amorican gun was half as much
again ae, that of the largest Armstrong gun
Gen. Newton calculated that ten and twelve
inch multlcharge guns will penetrate more
Iron than tho sixteen and seventeen inch
single charge guns, and it was determined
to build a gun of six-inch bnro lo test the
invention on a Isrgo scale. The 50,000
pounds of molten iron in tho Reading works
was for the casting of tho breech end.
The melting began at 2 p. m.t Monday,
and the Iron was in two big furnace, one
containing 32,085 and the other 24,015 lbs,
Col. J. R. Haskell had Invltad n number of
officers of the ormy, iron men, newspaper
men, and personal friends to witness the
casting. Among those present wero Con-grossnian-e.leet
Daniel Eriucntrout, II. G. H
Tarr, F. C. Smirk, B. II. West and J. G.
West of the Reading Iron Works, and many
of the 3,000 workmen employed in the var
ious branches of the works. Tho Immense
mould of the cannon stood in a pit twenty-
one foet deep. A hugh Iron kettle swung by
a crane ready to receive the contents of ono
of the furnaces. A gutter led Irom the mouth
of the other furnace to the mould pit. At
2:25 p. m., the emptying of one furnace in
to the kettle began, and in a few minutes'
about 24,000 pounds of the molten iron had
sputtered out with n grand display of pryo
technics that kept the spectators at 11 tls
taucc. Then tho big crane lifted the melt
ed iron ovi r to a convenient place for pour
ing it luto the mould. While the mass was
cooling to a projier consistency for pouting
Col. Haskell ea!d:
"We now propate to cr.sl tho breech sec
tion of tho gun, which is fifteen feet long,
and co.-.taiu- tho f.mr pecke-ts that hold .the
charges of powder to Iro 'successively dis
charged. EjcIi vf these liocltets writ eon
tain 28 pounds of powder, and the enlfrd
quantity required to charge the gun will be
130 pounds. Willi this we expect to project
150 pounds of shot witn a pencteating effect
ol four calibres, or thrco and a half calibres
more than ths strongest known guns. Mr.
A. S. Lyman, of New York is the iuveulor
of the principlo of multickargu guns, and I
have made some improvements which
think will make the. principle practicable.
The entire length of the gun will be 25 fret,
and its weight, wheu completed, about 40,
000 pounds. We e-lalni that the strain on
this gun, while doing enormously more
elTW'tive work than la done at present,-will
he imit-h less than upon tho guns now in
use. The latter require a pressure of48,()00
pounds to tho Inch at the breech. Wo be
gin with 30,000 iounds but get our power
by rejieating the dose. Our aggregate prcs
suro will be greater, but the strain ou the
gun will be much less."
At 3:55 p. 111:, tho metal in the big kettle
bad cooled sufficiently tube used. A sturdy
workman whose poat near the furnace
seemed to bo one that would roatt a man in
ubout two minutes, picked away the clay
aud brick at the furuaco muuth, and the
red-hot stream of iron began to pour out of
the second furnace. At the same moment
the big kettlo was tipped as it it had been
a teapot and two rivers of fire ran rapidly
into the mould. Iu less than six minutes
tha mould was filled with its 45,000 Kiunds
of iron, the mouth of the furnace was closed,
and the casting was finished, leaving
hugh mass of iron in the furnace
At leatl two weeks must elapse before the
iininciiie mass will cool. Then it will he
bored aud lined with steel, the pockets will
be arrayed, and the eud will be cast and
screwed 011, All this will bo the work of
several months.

My Dear Doctor i This morning I cbanecd
to look over the Report of the Board of Vis

It shows such a wide acop In your conrso
of study, and such completo fulfillment aud
execution of the scheme of modern educa

work was never done at the old Seminary,
and yet good work has always been done
there. All north-eastern Pennsylvania (and
this is by no means the proper limit to Its
beneficial Influence), has been reformed by
the moral, scholastic and refining agencies
you have kept In operation. With a pretty
wide knowledge of what is going on In
Founsylvanla in educational matters and
grand results are being worked out in Penn
sylvania now I ean safely and cordially
unite wilh tho Board and commend this
Institution to the thoughtful consideration
of parents and guanlians who contemplate
the education of their children, fceline as
sured that tho qualifications of the teachers,
the moral and religious Influence exerted
by them on the students committed lo their
care, are all that can be desired.
HENRY M. HOYT.
Ilarrishurg, Pa., Sept. 10, 1881.
Z3 Gov- IToytprcparat for College at the
Wyoming Seminary.
From Hon. Heubt W. I'almbh, Attorney
Ueneral of tho State of Pennsylvania.
My acquaintance with Wyoming Semin
ary began in 1850, and has continued ever
since 1 spent six years there as a student.
I think it one of the best suhools in the
country, and can most conscientiously com
mend it to parents who have sous to tit lor
Ol lege, or to young men or women who
desiro to stop with an Academic education,
it is a sensible and thoroughly practical 111
etitution, doing good work for those com
mitted tu its chare'.
HENRY W. PALMER.
Harriaburg, Pa., Sept. 13, 1881.
From Hon. E. (J. Wadhams, Ex State Sen
ator. I have been acquainted with Wyoming
Seminary since its first organization, and
noted Us progress with interest. Its sphere
eif usefulness has been constantly increasing,
and at no time in its pact history has it been
in so favorable a condition for doing excel
lent work in preparing young men for col
lege, ami lor business aud professional pur
suits. Under the management of a highly
educated gentleman, of popular adaptation,
aided by an able faculty, each department
ol the school fully subtoius the reputation of
the seminary for thoroughness of scholar
ship and discipline.
The Commercial Department is a great
accession to the seminary. Personally su
pervised by an expert accountant, higlilv
versed in commercial law aud listing, it is
doing excellent service in lilting young men
for business.
The Wyoming Seminary is d"sorvedly
popular, and fully merits the largo patron
age, bestowed upou it by a dUcrimioutliig
public. E. C. WADUAMS.
Prom Jamus M. Unranux, Superintendent
of rubllo Schools Tor tam-rnc Co.
It juives 1 ne pleasure to bo able to say that
the Wyoir.ini: iVminary has rond-.-rod very
material aid- in advancing the common
schools under my eupervfsi-.u by prevailing
pcrsous liS teach. Many who are now en
gnged'iu tcsicblng have il .tended thit-S.-IiikiI,
some, of whom may justly be regard-, d as
among our bet teachers. The Normil
course recently instituted meets tho growing
demand for thoroughly qualified teiM-hers.
The special features ol tins course are the
drills and lectures 011 Theory and l'mclice
of Te-ai-hliii by the Princinul. No teacher
who may alleud the Seminary, and hnv,-
tne prlvilezoni -lucre lecturex, can lull to u
greatly benefitted and better prepared for
llio woik ol the wi-noi-room.
