SATUBDAY EVENING. MAY 29, 1880.
A Famous Judgment.
The geed people of enr town seem dis
posed te open their eyes in astonishment
at the David who came te judgment upon
the mayor's commitment for thirty days
of the distinguished United States offi
cers appointed te take the census in the
Third and Seventh wards. "We conceive
that there is no geed cause for this asten.
ishment and we are somewhat mortified
that it should be expressed. And this
for strong reasons. Our people have heard
sn iniinh lately about the necessity, in a
well-ordered society, of a proper rever
ence for the judiciary that they ought
te be ready, if they have duly profited
by their teaching, te cry amen at once
te Judge Patterson's decisi- n that the
men lie pronounces unquestionably guilty
should be released from punishment.
They should be moved te this assent by
the like feeling of humanity and
knowledge of what is due te an
officer of the United States that led
Judge Patterson te his judgment.
Since we have had occasion te regard
this judge with particular attention, by
reason of a certain misunderstanding
that lately arose between us, we fancy
that we are learning te understand his
somewhat remarkable character. "We
invite our fellow citizens te fellow us in
our study. They will find entertainment
and profit in it. A judge who decides
that the case against the accused is fully
made out and there is no palliation for
their offense, and who fellows up that
conclusion by reducing their imprison
ment from thirty te three days, is mani
festly a judge te be regarded with inter
est and te be studied with care. We
don't come across that kind of mind
everyday, but that is net saying that it is
net a valuable kind. Exercising that in
finite charity which the Lord teaches
and that profound reverence for judges
which Sam Reynolds preaches but no
tably fails te practice and don't seem te
get disbarred for it, either we have been
induced te search for and find the very
sound and creditable reasons which have
served as the foundation for the judg
ment which our giddy fellow citizens
seem te be se strongly tempted te hoot
at terday. There is nothing like trying,
as we have all been taught, te bring suc
cess. " If at first you don't succeed, try,
$ry again ;" and if anybody thinks he
can improve en our suggestion of the
logic of the Pattersenian judgmei.t,
"guilty, but let them go." we should
like te hear him mention it.
As we have intimated, we find one
rock en which this judgment rests in the
beautiful command of the Bible, which
our judge is known te study hard and te
obey in the severest style: '"Let him
that is without sin cast the first stone."
The judge knows hew it is himself. lie
used te be a politician before he became
a judge and many were the fierce wrestles
he had with himself te preserve the true
Presbyterian demeanor in the face of pe-1
litical exigencies such as these which I
faced these peer worldly L'nited States ',
enumerators, who had en their hands '
the job of counting in their candidate at
all hazards, while they were at the same
time oppressed with the necessity of air
ing the beautiful behavior appropriate te j
the United States official, te say nothing i
of that which is supposed te be becoming j
In the common law-abiding citizen. Xew i
the judge, having taken in his Presby-
terianism with his mother's milk, was
3'ef stern self-centl
,.,. , , .
in a political brawl
fortified by a life
against arrest m a pe
for drunken and disorderly conduct ;
but then these peer devils had only been
United States officers for a dav or two, I
a-id as law-abiding citizens they had
never been known te fame. Clearly it
was asking tee much of them te expect
that they would be able te se succe.-s-f
ully arrange the exigencies of their duly I
te count in Eberly and of their duty te
their new dignity as te keep from getting i
into jail. "We declare that the feeling of
sympathy which our worthy judge had
for them in their misfortune was very
natural and almost accounts of itself f( r
their release. The tender heart of the
judge is very sweet te contemplate.
And his geed sense came te support
his heart's impulse. "We fear that his
sympathy alone would net have sufficed
te move him te this famous judgment.
Fer he can be very severe when it is his
duty. He was very severe with us, you
knew. That was just because it was
his duty. He used te love us, tee; but
when his love for us was put in the
balance against the great duty imposed
upon him te maintain the dignity of the
bench and " the cause of the people,"
the love kicked the beam, and in a big
hurry tee. The judges, as their coun
sel declare in the answer they have
filed in our appeal te the supreme
court, maintain that it is net the offence
te them that they resent, but that offer
ed te the majesty of the people repre
sented in the persons of the judges. It is
a very lefty pedestal te get upon ; but it
only shows what our judges can de when
they let loose their vaulting imaginations.
It is the dear people that Judge Patter
son always has in his mind. He knows
what is best for them. He won't let
them have any music of profane sound
from the Presbyterian organ ; and he
won't let them have thirty days impris
onment for being drunk and disorderly
in the discharge of their Republican duty
when he can help it. He is
a just man. He tempers the
wind te the shorn lamb ; and decides
that what would be right for an
ordinary citizen is tee much for a
United States enumerator and Republi
can bully. As we have said, there is
plenty of geed sense at the bottom of his
opinion. We need net mention it all :
it suffices te say that it Is apparent te the
dullest intelligence that a United States
enumerator can't take the census while
he is in jail ; and as the census taking
can't be postponed for his convenience,
it was eminently proper that the claims
of justice should be relinquished, and
that the enumerators should be restored
te liberty in time te perform their im
portant work. We are sure that the
public will see hew Judge Patterson's
sense and sympathy vindicate his judg
ment and merit their applause.
Faith and Works.
We took occasion the ether day te in
timate te Lawyer Reynolds that his exalt
ed notion of the respect due from the bar
te the bench, as we were sure it was
about te be expressed in his oration te
the supreme court in the coming hear,
ing of our disbarment appeal, was
such as te impeiatively require him te
quit the bar, in view of the very great
disrespect which he had the day
before exhibited te the court, in
telling it, in reply te its order
te him te step talking and sit
down, that he would net de se until he get
entirely ready. We have net heard that
Lawyer Reynolds lias taken our advice,
but we find the following pretty senti
ments in the answer of the judges below
in the case of our appeal te the supreme
court in the disbarment matter, in which
Mr. Reynolds is of counsel for the
judges:
" Apart from their mere personality,
there is environing the judges upon the
bench an atmosphere of authority and
power demanding submission, reverence,
respect. It is te them, as the representa
tives and exponents of sovereign power,
as the agents of a mighty commonwealth,
able te enforce obedience te her laws as
declared by her judges, by setting squad
rons of armed men in the field,
that the individual bows te aud submits.
In their protection from insult, injury,
degradation and contempt, in the preser
vation of the public confidence in their
integrity, the whole people have an abid
ing and vital interest. Destruction of
public confidence in the courts is an in
vitatien te "revolution and anarchy. Pub
lic confidence and respect are essential te
tiieir successful operation, and he who
wantonly, falsely and wickedly, from
partisan hate or from motives of private
malice, assaults a court is guilty of a
great public wrong which ought net te
go unpunished."
Samuel step out! Let your works
testify te your faith.
A cuhieus and interesting experiment
is being tried at Carlisle in this state,
where the old military barracks are new
used as a school for young Indian chil
dren, brought thither at a tender age
from the wigwams of their parents
Oaithful missionaries go out among the
red men and induce them te " lean " the
children for this purpose, taking, with
out discrimination, the boys and girls of
the chiefs and common Indians. The
parents give them up voluntarily, but
net without manifesting the deepest in
terest in their future, and jealously
watching their progress as they come en
and see it or as they get news of it from
these whom they trust. The little In
dians are very hard te teach at first, but
a lady who is interested in this work
tells us that in time some real
bright intellects are developed among
them, and she has high hopes that
; before another generation have grown
te manhood there will be a large crop of
j geed results from t lie work new in pre-
gross. Surely this is a sensible treatment
', of the Indian question. If the children
I can be brought under civilizing influences
i the entile Indian character may be
' changed. They are a people who may hi
perpetuated under ether than their
native conditions, as the experience of
the Cherekecs has shown, and if civiliza

Rebert Kletz, member of the Heuse
from the Eleventh Pennsylvania district,
who weighs about 300 pounds, has long
looked with envy upon the facility with
which David Davis ascends and descends
from the fleer of the Senate by means of
the Senate elevator, aud en Thursday of
fered and had passed an amendment te the
sundry civil bill for an appropriation of
$7,000 for a similar elevator in the Heuse.
When it went through he walked across
the aisle and warmly shook hands with
Russell Errctt and ether heavy men who
had aided him.
It will be remembered that young
RenERT H. Celemax, one of the Celeman
heirs te millions, was married some months
age te the daughter of the Episcopal rector
in Hartferd. Conn., where young Celeman
had been at college. They weut abroad en
a bridal tour and Mrs. C. died in Paris ;
her body was brought te Lebanon en Wed
nesday and new Mr. Celeman has ordered
work te cease en his splendid new mansion
at Cornwall, aud all that has aheady been
done en it will b6 razed te the ground, se
that every trace of what was intended te
be one of the finest mansions in th state
will be obliterated as nearly as possible.
The grounds around it will be plowed ever
and his desire is te have it done within
two weeks. The work of demolition was
commenced at once. The walls of the
rear pait of the structure had reached tl e
second fetery, but no bricks had been Ia.d
en the front walls. It is estimated that
the mason work of the building, a; it

TnE minimum salary new paid te minis
ters in the English Presbyterian church is
$1,000. In consequence the synod receives
many applications for admission from
ether denominations.
Preuakly the only case in this country
of a Bible class which pays a salary, at
least a living salary, te its teacher is that
of the " Evangelical Secial Bible Union,"
of Bosten, whose teacher, Colonel Russel
II. Conwell, receives $1,000 a year.
UxiTAniAXissi seems te be en the decline.
There was a decrease of twenty Unitarian
churches in this country during the last
year, and of their four hundred and eight
ministers one hundred aud eighty-seven
are net settled.
The United Presbyterian church, formed
in 1859 by the union of two or three bodies,
mostly Scottish, has grown, in the twenty
years of its existence, from a body having
408 ministers and 53,547 communicants, te
one with 747 ministers and 80,602 commu
nicants. If the Ilarrisburg Patriot has proof that
the Democracy of Nevada were bribed te
express a preference for Mr. Tilden it
should furnish the evidence. Demonstra
tion of this fact would be injurious te Mr
Tilden and salutary te the party both of
which ends the Patriot has in view. But
if it has no such proof it should make no
such charge.
Oxalate Sunday Canen Farrar preached
what is known as a " flower sermon " in
Slough Parish church, Londen. There
were a thousand children present. Each
child brought a nosegay of flowers, and at
the close of the service these were deposited
en the steps of the chancel, the offerings
being intended for the children who are in
mates of the AVcstminstcr hospital.
The total value of church property in
the country is placed at $300,000,000.
Should it continue te increase in the same
proportion as in the past, it is estimated
that its value in "1900 will reaeh the sum
of $3,000, 000, 000 or one-third mere than
the national debt. The ecclesiastical prop
erty in New Yerk exempt from taxation is
valued at $110,000,000.

This contest was distinguished beyond
all previous ones by a wholesale and sys
tematic use of congressional patronage en
behalf of the present member. Frem the
person who disgraces the ellice of collector
of iuternal revenue in this district, and who
added te foul-mouthed abuse of Mr.
Smith's opponent the most unscrupulous
corruption (even te the open purchase of
votes with money) in the tatter's be
half, down te his lowest and most
insignificant subordinate, no exertion
was spared that was within their reach, or
for which they could command the service
of their friends. Frem the postmaster at
Lancaster who, while vigorously opposing
"a change" did net forget te be a gentle
man, throughout this bread county, every
borough, village and cress reads federal
officer fell te work with alacrity. Mr.
Smith's friends say that in the first days
of the campaign he sent te every postmas
ter in the county a package of tickets en
which was printed his name as congres
sional candidate, with request that the
person te whom they were addressed
should circulate them. The intima
tion contained in the request
was tee plain te be misunderstood,
and here was a "bread and butter
brigade " fully organized and pushed at
once te the front. Ner was this all.
Frem Washington came trooping home
the clerks whose places are held at the
will and beck of " the member," and
aroused their fathers and grandfathers
their uncles and aunts, their brothers
and sistei sand cousins, te assist them in
their struggle for place. In one district
in this county two department clerks
left their duties at Washington and came
home, appealing most pitceusly te
relatives aud friends in behalf of him who
held their dismissal in "the hollow of his
hand." They disbursed money freely,and
with their relatives and adherents formed
a ring that traded off any ether candidate
en the ticket when by se doing they could
get a vote for Mr. Smith in return. Let
the reader bear in mind that this state of
things prevailed in every district te a
greater or less extent, and he will scarcely
be surprised at the estimate of a very in
telligent gentleman that at least 1,000
votes were made in this way.

The primary elections of the Republican
party of Lancaster county, as at present

of all respectable men and a disgracete

fact, time and time again stated by every
paper in the county, that the primary
elections, as new conducted, de net reflect
the sentiments of the Republicans of the
county, but the individual or individuals
who have the most money, and can elect
the most villainous election officers, and
they cheese the candidates and say te the
honest voters of the county who shall be
their officers.

INDIANS AT UABLISUS.
The Visit of Celebratea Chiefs te the Indian
Scheel tit Carlisle barracks.
Spotted Tail, Red Cloud, American
Herse and White Thunder and ether
chiefs, en a visit te the Indian school at
the old barracks, are highly delighted
with the management of the institution,
except in one particular the rule provid
ing ler the punishment of serious misbe
havior by imprisonment in the guard
house beiug diatastelul te them.
The ineeliug of the chiefs who have chil
dren in the school with their offspring was
very affecting. Twe Strike, who has two
boys in the institution, and Spotted Tail,
who has four boys aud ene girl there,
warmly embraced their children and shed
tears of joy. Yesterday morning the
chiefs were conducted through the several
school departments aud gave the exercises
the closest attention.
Subsequently Spotted Tail made an
earnest speech in the chancel in the pres
ence of the ether visiting Iudiaus and a
number of whites, lie complimented the
management of the school, except its mili
tary features, remarking that the children
had been sent theie te be educated aud net
te have them converted into soldiers.
He complained that some of the boys
who were tee young te have hearts had
been put in the guard house. Captain
Pratt, who has charge of the school, de
manded the names of the pupils se treated,
and Spotted Tail reluctantly replied that
one of his sons had been punished in that
manner. After being told there was no
military significance in the blue uniforms
aud drilling exercises his feelings were
much mollified, but he insisted that the
guard house punishment was net founded
en humane principles. Several ether boys
have been committed te the guard house,
but only after a court of their fellows had
adjudged them deserving of the treat
ment. Yesterday afternoon the visitiug Indians
were conducted through the various work
shops connected with the school, and last
night interesting chapel services were
held.
Spotted Tail and Red Cloud have sent
congratulatory telegrams te their friends
in Dakota territory.
On Thursday evening interesting cere
monies were held in the chapel of the
school. Right Rev. M. A. De Wolfe Howe,
bishop of the Pretestaut Episcopal church
for the diocese of Central Pennsylvania,
assisted by Rev. Dr. Leverett, of Carlisle,
performed the rite of confirmation ever
twelve Indian children, eight boysandfeur
girls. The services were very impressive
and were attended by all the visiting chief
tains. The visitors will remain at the
school ever Sunday.
THE CENSUS KMJHEBATOUS.

Lancaster New Era, Rep.
Mr. Snewdeu has done in Lancaster
county just what caused the removal of
Mr. White in Philadelphia. He permitted
the leaders of the machine, whose corrup
tion and trading in the late primary have
turned the stomach of all respectable citi
zens, te make his appointments in their in
terests. - The announcements weie held
back uutil after the primary election te
give Mylin, Cochran, Brown & Ce., a
chance te use premises of appointments as
trading pelieal capital. When the appoint
ments were known it was found that, in
many cases, the best qualilied and the
most respectably endorsed applicants had
been rejected and ignorant political bum
mers and rowdies appointed for no ether
apparent reason than they were endorsed
as i-the best workers of the ward" by My-
in, Cochran, Brown & Ce., who appear te
be the only influence which could reach
the car of the supervisor. These facts are
as notorious as the characters and inceiu
potency of the enumerators who are new in

table citizens think, ought te be there.

who was with him. " Here is a
book." said he, "weith mere than all
ever printed ; yet it is my misfortune
never te have read it with proper atten
tion and feeling till lately." About the
same time he wrote te his daughter : " I
hear it said that the Deists have claimed
me. The thought gives me mere pain
than the appellation of Tery for I con
sider religion of infinitely higher import
ance than politics, and I find much cause
te reproach myself that I have lived se
long and given no decided and public
proof of my being a Christian. "

THE HULL-KING BULLIES.
J '.
Their Hearing; en Habeas Corpus Their Im
prisonment Keiluced te Three U.ijtk.
As stated in the Intelligence:: yester
day, four of the Bull Ring gang of ruffians
who assisted in raising the disgraceful row
at Fulton opera house en Monday Samuel
Powell, Fred. Miller, Jeseph Carter and
Wm. Leenard and who subsequently par
ticipated in the riot near the opera house,
were committed te the county prison yes
terday by Mayer MaeGeniglu for 30 days
each, for drunken aud disorderly conduct.
Last evening they were taken before Judge
Patterson en a writ of habeas corpus, with
a view te their discharge, Samuel II. Rey
nolds, esq., appearing as their counsel.
Policemen Mcrringer, Derwart,Leman and
Chief Deichler, who arrested the accused,
testified te their drunken, disorderly and
riotous conduct in the viciuityef the opera
house.
Mayer MacGenigle testified that he ar
rested Miller while he was in the act of
attempting te rescue Powell from the police
officers.
Chief of Police Deichler testified that he
had several members of the police force
stationed in and about the opera house en
Monday, in anticipation of a disturbance.
There was much disorder in the opera
house, and when the convention adjourned
he ordered his force upon the street te
keep the peace ; there was a great deal of
pushing and threatening talk. In front of
the Serrel Herse hotel he met the mayor,
who asked liim what all the fuss was about.
In a moment afterwards he saw Mr. Wimcr
knocked down, and Powell in the act of
kicking him : he arrested Powell, but the
latter swore he would net be taken, and
Miller came rushing te his assistance, and
with an oath declared he should net be
taken. The mayor seized Miller, and
Officers Fuimcr and Merringer. coming te
his assistance, he was locked up. Chief
Deichler declared that Powell was drunk,
and his testimony was corroborated by
ether witnesses. County Treasurer Greff
and Jehn W. Mentzer testified te the
great disorder prevailing in the opera
house during the session of the conven
tion ; that all of the accused were drunk
and disorderly, and some of them threat
ened both Greff and Mentzer after the
convention adjourned. Mr. G-off was in
duced by a country friend te get out of
the crowd and take refuge in the Stevens
house, and Mr. -Mentzer testified that he
was struck twice by Leenard. He said
also that he belie veil Levi Sensenig had
as much te de in starting the row as any
ether man.
Fer the defense Levi Sensenig was
called and tcstilied that he was knocked
down by Jehn Wimer ; that this was the
commencement of the trouble ; that the de
fendants and some' ether of his friends
rushed in te protect him; and that if it
had net been for the disorderly conduct of
Greff and ether Heg Ringers there would
have been no trouble.
The accused, Powell, Miller, Carter and
Leenard were called and all of them
swore that they were net drunk, and had
net been engaged in any disorderly con
duct, though they were noisy, aud admit
ted that they had been drinking.
Sammy Greff requested the court te
continue the hearing until morning, se
that counsel might be engaged and addi
tional witnesses secured.
The mayor, who had committed the ac
cused, said he was net desirous of having
the case continued. He thought it had
been made out.
S. II. Reynolds, esq., counsel for the
accused, asked for their discharge and
made an argument te show that they were
innocent of the offense charged against
them. The only evidence against them
was that of the mayor and thrce or four
policemen, each of whom, when the dis
turbance commenced picked up the first
man he could get held of. There was net
sufficient evidence that the men were
drunk. If they were guilty of any offense
it was of assault anil battery or riot, and i:
charged with either of these effeuses they
cannot be summarily locked up for 30
days, but arc entitled te a trial by a jury
of their peers. They cannot be made te
bear the sins of the whole Republican
party. Twe of them are United States
census enumerators, and the very fact of
their appointment te these important pests
should be taken as evidence in their gen
eral geed character.
Judge Patterson said that it was the
duty of the mayor and police officers te
enferce geed order and preserve the peace.
It is true that all the noise and disorderly
conduct complained of would merge in a
charge of riot, if such a charge had been
made ; but there is no charge of riot against
these men. We must therefore take it as
we find it. The evidence is sufficient te
make out the case ; the trouble was caused
by political excitement, but that is net a
sufficient warrant for it Peeple must be
made te behave themselves en the streets,
and if they de net they must suffer the
penalty of the insulted and violated law.
It is in cvidence that these four
men were under the influence of
intoxicating drink, and Miller does net
deny that he interfered against the arrest
of one of his friends. The peace of the
city must be preserved and the peace offi
cers must be sustained and protected iu
the performance of their duties. What
ever our feelings may be in the matter, it
is our duty te see that the peace of the
city is preserved. The late disturbance
may have been instigated by political pas
sien, but be that as it may, the mayor of
the city believed the trouble would result
in a riot, and he very properly took prompt
measures te prevent it, aud was warranted
in doing what he did.
The offense charged against these men
docs net merge in any ether offence : it
stands alone, and the case has been made
out against the delendants. But there are
some mitigating circumstances. There
was great political excitement, and se far
as is known this is the first time these
men have offended. This being a first of
fence, the court think the defendants are
entitled te some consideration, and that
the judgment should be mitigated. We
desire te upheld the law and assist
the peace officers in preserving the
peace, but we will very considerably
reduce the term of commitment, with the
remark, that if sober men readily suhmi
te the police officer aud de net persist in !
disorderly acts they arc entitled te some
consideration. Police officers cannot alwajs I
succeed in securing the men that begin the
fight ; they are net always present when
such disturbances begin and the best thing
they can de is te arrest these they see te
be disorderly, as they did in the late dis
turbance. With the remark that the law
officers must be obeyed we reduce the
term of commitment of the prisoners se
that it shall expire en Monday next. They
that the peace
officers most be obeyed.
The prisoners were then placed iu charge
f a deputy prison keeper ad remanded
te the county jail, te be discharged there there
i'rem ou next Monday a reduction of
twenty-seven days from their original sen
tence. The defendants fared better before the
judge than they hail expected. They had
little hope of gettiug off with less than
live days.
