That s'audard old republican paper,

Independent aud Cameronian wings of
the 11 pabllcan party:

1 ho Independents say that tho only way of
bringing the bos cs lo their senses and break

Tent to the party. This may be so but this
sortof pruning seems to us very much llko
that of tho limn whom tho farmer sent out to

Just so, triend ISeuedict, but tbo fruit
of tLat tree having become poisonous to
tbe people, is not tbe proposal of tbe Iu-dependent-Itepublicans
to chop It down
far preferable to the lesser one of cutting
off a few of tho mostTOtten braucbes.aud
thus hiniug it to grow up and thrive
again, giving greater strength to throw
out its poison among tho people ? "Cut

THEIR OLD GAME.
Now that tho republicans have tem
porary asccudaucy iu congress, they re
sume their old nefarious game of oust
ing legally elected democrats of their
own body Irom seats claimed by contest
ing republicans. Two Buch cases oc
curred tho past week and, as invariable,
is in brief : Southern democratic seat ;
r idical carpetbag contestant; Utter seat
ed. Its a long lane his no turn, nud af
ter tho elections this fall this party of tbe
inglorious past should look back upon
its record of unscrupulous and d.sbou' st
partisanship with shame and sorrow. Iu
spite of its loyal buncombe, bais-drum
patriotism, and home-guard, Fourth ol
July war devotion, tho people have now
fully como to understand and realize the
fact that tbo republicanism of to-day is
only another name lor liaud, spoliation,
robbery, bribery, official debauchery,
corruption of the ballot, and ovob assas
imtiou. From ex-Vice-Pxosident 'Colfax
down to Secretaries Belknap a'ld Ilobe
ton; the history of rings innumerable
and stealings ad libitum; the robbery pi
the helpless Indian; the non-protection
of American citizens abroad and on tbe
high seas, and the mail route swindles
what a record for twenty years I And
yet Dou Cameron endorses it all and has
the cheek to ask the voters of Pennsyl
vania to endorse him.
THE TARIFF C0MMIBSI0N.
At length, alter weeks of dallying, the
Cabinet has agreed upon the major
portion of the new tariff commission. It
will be composed as follows:
Joh Hayes, of Massachusetts, UenryW.
Oliver, or Pennsylvania! A M. Garland, or
Illinois! Hubert V. I'orler, orthe District or
Columbia; Alexander Mitchell, or Wlscon.
slnjJohnS. I'helpi.ur Mlssourl.and Johnll.
II. Unuerwood, of UoorKla. J. A. Ambler,
or Ohio, und William A Wheeler, or New
oik. All. Whocicr will be chairman ol the
CoiutntSBilon.
Now, let ns seo what this mountain
will labor and bring forth. The Co-u-
lnission, if it accomplishes anything of
the slighttst practical good to onybody
save tbo jobbers, importers and produ
cers, will bo far different from any com
mission or committco yet appointed by
that party of many promises oud few
luiailmeuts. Tbe Commissioners have
no eesy task, and their action vt ill have
much to do in sbapiug the mauconvers ol
both tbe great parties in tbe carnpuigu
of 1881. Meanwhile the treasury can
dance to the tune of a few round hnn
dred thousands to keep tho Commission
iu running ordir.
WHO'S TO BLAME I
And now it is uuthoritively stated
that the grtat rise in provisions of
all kinds is duo'to tbe capitalists and
monopolists who have locked up im
mense quantities of gralu; so manipulate
tho railroads and canals that men of
moderate means cannot ship stock or
produce to advantage, if at all; and lit
erally hold tho markets in their unscru
pulous power. Yet, thousands of work'
ing men upon whom this burden fall
with such crushing weight will persist In
votiug tbe holism monopoly tiokut and
then exclaim against low uages and high
prices for all articles of borne consuuip
liou. So long as worklngmen vote tbe
monopoly ticket they will get, nud de
serve, mighty little sympathy when
ohliged to pay J3.C0a bushel for pota
toes.
"PHINCE" VANDEBBILT.
By our Ndw York Letter wo learn that
r.ulroad-aristocrat W, II. Yandtrbilt has
been creutod a "Prince of lloiua" by tbe
Pope; consideration, $10,000. The price
paid, to a man of Vauderbilt's wealth,
would be equivalent to the payment tf a
nickel by tbo ordinary citiz-u for tbo
same boon. Tbo design of the ooat-of-
arms of Prince N. Y. C. & II. II. Uaib
road Yanderbilt not being announced,
we would suggest that his highness adopt
a life-size medallion of brass representing
a two-hiiudred-miUtonairo throttling a
one-dollar-and'teu-ctnts-a-day section
baud and compelling him to disgorge 20
per cent, of bis earulugs for republican
campaign purposes.
DEATH OF OAHIBALDI.
General Gulseppo Garibaldi died nt
his residence lu Caprera, near Home, on
tho 2d Inst., after a somewhat prilracted
llkoss with bronchitis. This groat Ital
ian liberator, soldier and statesmau was
born luKice, July 4, 1807, of humble
parents, and the first of his sdventnres
were at sea when quite yottng. Taking
an nctlvo part in tbe Italian strugglo for
unity, he was banished In 1831, and went
to South America, where he joined the
army of Uraguny, and fought for several
years against Brazil. In 1818 bo returned
to Italy and took n prominent part iu the
defonco of Home against the French, af
ter the temporary overthrow ol the Papal
power. At the recapture of Konn ho es
caped to this country and becamo n caudle-maker
near New York. In 1859 he
joined Victor Emanuel nnd took a promi
nent part in the first real war for Italian
unity, his campaign in Sicily and Na
ples causing the downfall of the Bour
bon king nud tho annexation of those
provinces to tbe kingdom of Italy. Iu
1802 bo was made commander-in-chief of
the Italian National guard, and led an
expedition against the Papal States In
which ho was woundod. In 1800 he re
newed the attempt bnt was defeated by
the French at Mentaua. In the Franco
Prussian war he had command of tbe
French forces in the Tyrol.

The backward condition of the appropria
tion bills nud the ilesbe which will soon be
manifest among Congressmm to get homo
renders it probable that some very hasty
work will bo done as soon as the election
cases are disused of. It is not quite clear
why some of theso bills havo been eo sys
tematically held back, and there certainly
appeals to be no surface explanation for tho
non-appoiolment of a.confercnce committee
on two appropriation bills from tho Senalo
which have been (n the Speaker's desk for
nearly two months J'ossi.bly wo shall dis
cover tho meaning of these things in the
shape of jobs or schemes which certain mem
bers are said to have in rccrvo lo run
through In the rush nnd hurry of tho last
end. Tho star route trials ure now going to
occupy continuous attention forsomo weeks,
and before they are over the Guiteau hang
log is likely to como off. The wretch Gui
teau, is beginning to shako in his boots al
ready, and for tho first time shows bis
weakness.
Th ere is a good deal said about the unro
liable reports sentout by rorrespondeutsund
no doubt mistakes are often made, but an
illustration of how it sometimes happens is
furnishedin a bit of private history of the
late war said to be strictly true, and which
so far as I know has neyer been published.
During the early part of 1801, the authori
ties al WashuiKton decided to make a new
dralt of 400,01)1) men. nnd tho decision m
oinuiunicalod to Stanton's private secre
tary, ien a prominent journalist, nud now
residing here retired from tho ncii nnr.
suit of his profession. The privule secretary
belonged ton Washington news association,
e (Kited of three more persons, who were
srimiug cpccim iricgrams 10 u number ol
the leading papers of the North. They had
this bit of news exclusive, and of course
telegraphed it. They sent it Sunday night,
and, apcaring next morning Iu various
dailies, it created a prodigious sensation.
Many of the most loyal newswiers protest
ed against the dralt, and letters of remon
strance lioured iuto Washington from the
most prominent Republicans. Stanton
lound, &s the story goes, that ho hod been to
sudden; that he had mado a mistake; that
the North was not prepared lor another
draft, and must be "worked up" to It liy
the press. Consequently, he pronounced the
official dispatches baseless, and ordered the
arrest of the member of tho association who
had sent them. The journalist knew tbe
Information to be entirely correct and oil
tboriiiye, and Stanton knew that ho know
it. Stli.', being patriotic and willing to re
lieve the Government Irom a very emtaras
sing quandary, be quietly submitted to ar
rest; went under guard lo Stanton's office;
listened patiently to a torrent of abuse from
the Secretary of War, and humbly apolo
giicd, saying lie was very Sony lor the mis
take, but thai he had heard tho report from
u source he had deemed authentic. This was
sssurcdly true, the authority being no other
than Riautou himself', who assumed, how
ever, not to notice the covert satire. The
Secrelary of War expatiated, lu choleric and
gcnerully Intemperute nunner, upon tbe
gravity of his oll'ense, and intimating what
would be the dlieful consequences of its
repetition, nrnercu me guards to release the
prisoner. When the press had fully pre
pared the publie for another draft, which
was several months later, 200,000 instead of
400,000 men were called for, and in due
lime lurmsneii lo me uovernment. Not
more thin a dozen persons in SVaihington
had any notion that the startling informa
tion about tho other draft was strictly true
ami that all its details had been received
direct from lieado.ua rlers. It not frequent
ly happens that fuels which first come
inrougn me newspcrtare uiscrediteit and
denounced aa fal-e for no other reason than
because they are facts of the hardest kind.
The cool spring has had the affect of
seeping many here, wno usually, even dur
ing a long session of Congress, run sway
eaily in May. I think there must be num
erous good practical farmers among the
wives of members of the two houses of Con-
cress, judging Irom tho number wha leave
here promptly each year, as roouss plant
ing time comesind of whom their husbands
say, "OU, my wife baa lo go borne to lttk
after tbo farm, and see about early vegetables-
hi the garden, or we would have had
a poor show for something try eat through
the summer."' Some of theso ladles went
early In April and others In May.but owing
to tho continued cool weather fctnrdlug tho
planting others of these good helpmates still
linger hero.
The boat for Mount Vornon, the Corcor
an, has carried large numbers of visitors
lately, the weather having been so fine.
Slnco tho ladles havo chargonf this dear
nd historical place, and went there to stay,
many of their friends have gone to call up
on them. At night the ladies sleep in tho
old Washington mansion, each occupying
tbe room fitted up by tbe Svite whose vice
regent the le. Of course, bv the dim light
of randies and lamps the Mount Vernon
dwelling cannot be very cheerful after night,
srtid some ladles find it impossible to sleep
during their stay there, so nervous do they
become after retiring to their lonely, spaci
ous rooms. No man is allowed to sleep In
tbe house while the ladles are thereto those
who are married cannot take their husbands
with them. Tho superintendent, Colonel
ilollingwnrth, has his bed room and offiro
in a building near bj, and rarely is absent
ol night from the place nt any limo of thn
year. There are also numerous men and
women servnnta constantly there, e.ime of
wnom are direct ilerendenls ol Ueu. Wash
Inclon's fcrvnnlt.nnd have never hired anv.
whero else than at. Mount Vernon, a fact of
which inoy are very proud. Uneof them is
one of tire best cooks imaginable, and whilu
the ladles are staying otMounl Vernon they

Tho conyletion of General Curtis In New

showing by the cpiibus or 1880 the number

Enemies ol tho Andre monument should

efforts to destroy It, it lies nrono on the
ground In mute obedience to the vandalism
whose cxhibillcvi are becoming alarmingly

of granite, four feet square ut the base, and
not much longer Irom bmo to apex, lying

Indefinitely, although tho suggc-dion has

A Pleasant Trip.
One dsy the past week I took tho cars
southward bound. What an enjoyable trip
it is down our Lehigh Valley, and what a
pleasant contrast to what it Was but a few
years ago I Then gaunt hunger slnod at
the laborer's door J tbe rich man's enter
prises stood idle and rusting) railroad sid
ings were grown over with grassf furnaces
rolling mills and various other manufactor
ics stood silent, gloomy mockeries of au ex
travagant past. This great country has bad
quite a history since the terrible pauio of
18T3. U. S-. Giant's term of office has now
closed) bla triumphal tour of tho world
and subsequent strugglo lor tho third term
of office are past events) the Hayes and
Tilden election Is over f the financial rcvo
lution has been accomplished and specie
payments are In voguoj Garfield lies in an
honored and martyr's grave i- Longfellow
and Einerenn are numbered with thedead ;
another, or whom we knew very little in
1873, now holds the reins of government;
uusiiies nas revivcu ) an industries are
ansin in full blast) all is active and bull
ing, while tho once starving families now
smile at tho trials and troubles of the past.
As we fly along the Lehigh Valley, out and
over toe norm i cun. railway, l lie patio
ramaof buddins s.irlnit and thrivincr nnr.
suits inspires one with energy, and we feel
that to keep pace with the tones we must
not loner uy tne wayside.
Finally we arrive in the nolsv city nnlitl
cally known as the "ovemrown vlllaeo on
tho Delaware." We see the new nostolllce.
the immense and very costly new public
UUIH1IIIK9, ami wuii tne exquisite aiasomc
icmpic in signi, anu tne grunu depot ol Mr,
John Wunnamaker in our rear, we soon
enter the much talked of I'efina. Elevated
railroad station. Hero trains como and go
every two minutes. All moves smoothly
and with regularity f everything is conve
nient and clean. We take n seat in a car,
nn i easily move out over House lops, then
along uuy luorougninres, soon, we are 11 v
in c through grassy banks und mist the cos
lest, neatest Millions imaginable, and before
we shake oil' the nervousness of the city
wo enter a cool forest. Out and away wo
go again through the green nelds nnd roll
ing ground f Chester county. Tho brake
man cries. out" West Chester t" an! with a
rush und u bang tve are set down there and
the train is gone.
"Where is the Normal school, Dub?" and
under the guidance of this cherub we wan
der through a slow, xkey town. No mnn
ufucturesu smull number of saloons, a largo
couit house, fine churches aud dwellings;
and, reaching the suburbs, wc como upon a
large stone buildiug, the West Chester Slate
Normal School. Finely situated, roomy
building, prclty grounds all that could be
desired lo make pleasant and content tho
rugged (ruth to learning and wisdom.
As we cuter the main hall we hear the
mumbling ol voices nnd clattering ol
dishes. The students are nt supper; a
kindly lady has curried a message lor us:
soon supper is over; the merry lassicscome
tripping forth; wo are looking out upon
the charming landscape nnd dreamily lis
ten to the sounds that are still cherished
among our schoolduy memories. There is
a rustling sound, a cry of "Oh I" nnl we
are not. When wo aro rcsus.we tlimlyreal
ize that we have been embraced by a school
girl enthusiastically. Wo are shown the
halls, the music and class-rooms, tho bed
rooms, tho chapel and dining room, the fire
escape, the grand views Irom various win
dons. Ever thing is described, explained
and extol ed, till fina.ly wo leave the near
placo with n heart aeliing for the merry,
turbulent schooldays that ure past lorever.
What glorious opportunity tbe youth of to
day have! What a grand luture fur the
ambitious souls 1 What great nud noble
thing it is to live In this land of "free
schools, Irec press and free speech where
all men have equal chances und each can
be intelligent, happy and free.
