MONDAY EVENING. JUNE 22, 1880.
Greatness and Goodness.
Xapoleen Bonaparte has taken rank in
history as one of the greatest men of the
world, but history will need te be revised
te accord with the latest information as
te his character, unless we can admit
that the greatest of men may also be the
meanest, and that greatness and virtue
liave no part or let with each ether. It
has been said of Lord Bacen, whose rank
as one of the world's great men can never
be disputed, that he was also the meanest
of mankind. In that day Xapoleen had
net lived, by whose side Bacen was
noble. We fear that it will have te be
admitted that greatness in the world's
eye does net come se invariably as it
should te the men who remember and
act upon the lessens of goodness and mo
rality that are taught them at their
mother's knee. All ever the world geed
parents are striving te de their duty te
their children by teaching them te be
truthful, honest, unselfish and magnani
mous in every action of their life ; and
the geed children are laboring hard te
learn the lessen. It is net according te
their nature. The self-control they strive
te attain is hard te reach. They de want
te gratify their appetites, but their teach;
ing won't let them. They are being m
ucated te be geed men ; and if they pro
fit by their instruction they will make
themselves agreeable te their fellow men,
geed citizens, sons, brothers and hus
bands ; but, also, all this is net helping
them te be great. Te be great and te
cut a great figure in the eyes of the world
is the natural aim of every ambitious
boy ; and it must demoralize him sadly
te realize that all the lessens of goodness
he is learning are leaden clogs en his up
ward march te such magnitude of fame
as Napeleon wen.
This may be why se many of our men
de net remember their childhood's teach
ings in their daily walk and conversation.
The wickedness of the world is increas
ing every day with the increase of popu
lation ; all the parental teaching that
can be ground into the youthful mind
won't diminish this wickedness, for the
lessens are but imperfectly taught and
learned at the best ; but the increase of
it is due no doubt te the fact that men
perceive that the lessens of goodness are
net always the ones that lead them on
ward and upward in a career of worldly
prosperity and in their aspirations after
men's applause. Men de net applaud
goodness always ; they applaud success.
And te succeed it does seem that men
must be vicious. They must be selfish,
else they cannot thrust themselves up
ward upon the top of these against whom
they contend for supremacy. Take the
candidates who struggle new for the
presidential nomination; the one who
succeeds is elevated at the cost of the
many who fail. ' And this is the mildest
way of putting the selfishness that leads
men te struggle against their fellows.
That is a degree of selfishness which the
most pious of men may properly gratify.
It is that degree of selfishness which is a
virtue instead of a vice. "Without it men's
energies would be paralyzed. There
would be no struggle for bread. Nene
would enjoy mere of life's luxuries than
another. It might be a state of exist
ence which would suit the theoretical
ideas of philosophers, but it is net one
adapted te our human nature. "We need
total reorganization te make it practica
ble. In their struggles for fame men de net
step anywhere near the line of virtuous
selfishness. They are net content te try
the examples of the world's great men
who have gene before them. Xapoleen 's
greatness consisted wholly in his martial
ability -, he was net great in any virtue.
He does net seem te have had any virtues
at all te speak of. He was false, cruel,
selfish, dishonest and mean. He put
himself under no virtuous self-restraint ;
and yet he was great. Se that the
children who listen te the maternal im
pressions of goodness must be tern be
tween the conflicting desire for the peace
of heaven and for the applause of men.
Beth they may net readily have in these
walks of life where glory mostly lies.
They may be great and geed ; but they
have reason te suspect that they may be
greater without beinsr geed. And, there
fore, se many men are net geed ; but
they fall between two steels ; for few of
them .become great. They had uene
.better te cheese rather te be geed ; for
it is easier te be geed than te be great.
The Philadelphia Press yesterday in
dulged in a tiresome and ill-tempered
-tirade against the Indiana supreme court
en account of its late decision nullify
ing the recent constitutional amend
ments and placing that state back in the
"October list." The Press charges the
court with prostituting its power te serve
the exigencies of the Democratic party,
claiming the decision te have been ren
dered with, the affirmative votes of four
Democratic justices, the one Republican
member dissenting. "We are charitable
enough te believe that our esteemed con
temporary did net knew what it was
talking about in making this statement,
but the bottom is completely knocked
out of its plaint all the same by the reve
lation made by Justice Xiblack, a mem
ber of the ceult and himself a delegate
te the Cincinnati convention, who tells a
Cincinnati interviewer that he and a
Democratic associate voted te sustain
the validity of the amendments in ques
tion, two ether Democratic justices
voted te reverse them, and the deciding
vote was cast "by a judge elected as an
Independent, but of Republican antece
cedents, who voted against the censtitu
tienality of the amendments.
TriE lightning red agents ought te be
driving a brisk trade in the Queen City
just new. The political elements have
become dangerously mixed out there.
The utter absence of bitterness of feel
ing and violent antagonisms in the Cin
cinnati convention augers well for a
happy deliverance, and is in striking
contrast with the scenes witnessed in
Chicago three weeks age. There is every
reason te believe that strong and judi
cious nominations will be made.
Speaker Raxdall made a bright
and well-timed speech in response te a
serenade tendered te him last night by
the political organization bearing his
name. He expressed his confidence in a
harmonious outcome of the deliberations
of the convention, and one that will re
ceive the hearty approbation of the De
mocracy and independent feeling of the
country.

"The delegates have gotten en te the
ground earlier than they did at Chicago,
but the crowd is net se large and the can
vass in the interests of the various candi
dates gees en very quietly. There are no
loud-mouth orators holding forth in the
lobbies of the several hotels. Nobody is
being abused. The best of feeling pre
vails, and the general impression pre
vails that whoever is nominated can be
elected."
Cexsidekaisle . popular interest is just
new manifested in the origin of the cant
political phrase "dark horse," and there
have been a number of suggestions in vari
ous newspapers as te the circumstances
whence it obtained its present significance.
The latest that has come under our obser
vation, and one which commends itself te
the average understanding, is contributed
by a correspondent of the Philadelphia
North American who recalls the scene in
"Ivanhec " where the unheralded knight
appeared (in the person of "Richard the
Lien-hearted") en his wonderful dark
horse at the opportune moment, and bears
away the honors of the tournament. It is
altogether likely that the origin of the
term may be correctly traced te this narra
tive.
UltlMES' CARNIVAL.
The Hangman's Heavy Harvest of a Day.
Sunday night at about 11 o'clock, a ne ne
geo named William Burke, in a supposed
lit of jealousy, shot Pat Harris, also color
ed, in the mouth. He then locked him
self up in his house with his wife,
and, armed with a leaded musket, defied
arrest, threatening te kill any one who
attempted te enter. The police surround
ed the house and proceeded te break
in. A pannel was knocked out of the deer,
through which Burke's wife tried te make
her exit from the house, but before she
had succeeded her husband struck her
ever the head with the musket, crushing
in her skull and scattering her brains. The
police then entered and secured the mur
derer. While all thig was going en a large
crowd of negrees gathered, and when they

excitement became intense and an effort
was made te take him from the police and

house. Sunday afternoon Raffaele Bentanti, a
prisoner in the Richmond jail, struck an
other prisoner named "Walter Fearney Fearney
heueh en the head with a billet of weed,
fracturing his skull, from the effects of
which be died. The cause of the deed is
said te have been that Bentanti's fellow
prisoners were in the habit of teasing him
in various ways, and that finally becoming
aggravated beyond self-control be attacked

stated.

Anether Declination Frem Seymour
Herald Cincinnati special.
The doubts in regard te the sincerity of

such phases late last evening that the

The following was the dispatch te Govern Govern
or Seymour. "
It is asserted here that ex-Governer Til
den's withdrawal removes contingency
held in reserve under your declination and

CINCINNATI.
A GLANCE AT THE FIELD
And Review of ilie Chance et a Few of the
Candidates.
Cincinnati Cenunerchd, yesterday.
Everything is in delightful confusion.
Whichever way you turn nothing can be
found but mixed delegations and the great
est indecision, and the precise complexion
of this Southern strength, which is really
the key te the situation, can net be learned
te-morrow in any event, and net before
the second or third ballet in the conven
tion is cast. One thing, however, may be
set down as a certainty, and that is that
the Seuth is prepared at a very early ballet
te wheel into line for any candidate who
develops a strong and available following
in the disputed states of the North. Who
this may be is at preseut as much of a preb
lem, and perhaps mere se than it was two
days age.
The Bayard movement seems te be one
of scntimcntalhm. He has ardent admir
ers in every section, but the devotion te
him is rather tee chivalric and net quite
practical enough for these stirring times.
In ether words, most of the delegates from
the Seuth who sincerely believe in him, and
his value as a candidate, arc approach
able en the subject of second choice. Un
less he develops far mere strength than he
seems te have at present, it will flicker and
die out before the breath of any first-class
boom.
Field has developed very positive
strength all through the Seuth as a second
choice candidate, though he has but little
pronounced following in the North.
Jewett is by no means out of the race,
but he will strike his biggest snag iu New New
Yerk. Payne will be emphatically repudi
ated by the Southern Democrats as a mass.
When it is represented te the Southern
delegates that New Yerk might possibly
consider Payne the most available man in
this crisis, they answer that New Yerk
must find somebody else they knew better
than they de Mr. Payne.
The Bayard movement had some strong
additions yesterday, especially from the
Seuth Carolina men, who are solid for him
under the leadership of Hampton and
Butler. He has friends also in Alabama,
North Carolina and New Jersey solid, and
a few in Mississippi, due te the influence
of his personal friend, Senater Lamar, and
a few votes in Tennessee. In certain con
tingencies he will obtain a chivalric compli
ment from Massachusetts and Connecticut.
But this pretty much exhausts the limits
of his boom.
Se far as the Hendricks prospects are
concerned it is conceded en all hands that
no set of men who attended a Democratic
convention displayed as much persistent
devotion te a favorite son as de the Demo
crats of Indiana te Governer Hendricks.
They are here in tremendous force, and it
is estimated that the trains te-day will
bring nearly ten thousand rampant, up
roarious representatives from Indiana. All
of them will have Hendricks en the lapel
of their coats, and attack the doers of the
convention like battering rams.
The Situation at Midnight.
McClurc's Despatch te the Times.
Randall has wisely decided net te allow allew
bis name te be precented at the opening of
the contest, and his friends in Pennsylvania
will net concentrate en any one candidate.
Had thispelicy been adopted by Randall
when he found Tilden out of the race his
chance for the lightning stroke would have
been better than it is uew,as there would be
no positive antagonism between him and
the friends of Tilden. Randall's friends
de net consider him as out of
the fight. They expect a protracted
struggle, and hope for a propitious
moment when he can be presented as a
peace offering te the disputing factions.
The Indiana delegation have been put en
their metal by the very general discussion
of McDonald for a place en the ticket.
They have met and resolved that Indiana
has but one candidate, and that one Hen
dricks, for president. They could de no
less, and they are undoubtedly sincere,
but Hendricks will net be nominated, and
it is mere than probable that McDonald
will be made the candidate for either the
first or second place without consulting his
state. Hendricks could carry Indiana
mere easily than any ether man, but he
would be weak and probably fatally weak
in New Yerk, and that ends the matte.
Ohie has practically cut loose from Thur
man by cheesing an anti-Thurman chair
man and deciding te vote for Thurman
until the majority call a halt. It is under
stood by all that the majority will be ready
te call a halt whenever they are wanted
elsewhere. It is new confidently expected
that a Payne majority will be worked out
of the delegation by Wednesday. New
Yerk is getting demoralized, and there are
evident symptoms of a row. A majority
of the delegation is for Payne, and they
can cast the whole vote for him under
their unit rule ; but serious trouble is
likely te arise if it shall be persisted in.
The Payne men are working with fresh
inspiration te-night, and they speak with
confidence of his nomination, but if Payne
shall become formidable by the Tilden
faction of the New Yerk delegation it may
precipitate the .nomination of Bayard or a
dash by the field te McDonald. The first
sign of bitterness since the withdrawal of
Tilden has been exhibited te-night against
the Payne movement and the field will in
cline te any candidate who gives premise
of beating him. Cincinnati is very quiet
compared te Chicago, and the serious work
of making combinations will net begin
until te-morrow. There is no mere ap
pearance of concentration in any direction
te-night than there was forty-eight hours
a"0.
CONVENTION PERSONNEL.
X'cn Portraits from the Enquirer.
Speaker Randall has a bleary, but well
chiseled face, with a decided Jewish cast,
a keen black eye, with rather furtive leek.
He is inclined te steep somewhat. In con
versation he is guarded and reserved.
Senater Wallace is of the canny Scot and
shows his lineage in his face. He is quick
at perception and has strong analytical
powers. In person he is erect, and walks
with an elastic step ; has reddish hair and
closely cropped whiskers.
Jehn Kelly is beefy. He is aging rapidly.
His meld of face is Milesian in the ex
treme, with the square-cut lower jaw and
tightly-compressed lips, which indicate
pugnacieusness and tenacity. In dress he
is neat. His linen is mere immaculate than
his record
Archie Bliss, Brooklyn's congressman, is
among the handsome men here. His dress
is the model of the tailor's art, and his
heart as big as is usually given te an ex.
He is one of the rich congressmen, who
loves his wife, his horses and his friends.
Nick Muller, who represents the Five
Points of New Yerk, is at the Burnet. He
is a geed-natured Teuten, well fed, well
clad and well liked. He is the peak of
honor in things both great'and small, and
spends his money like a Prince.
Aleck McClure, who planted the first
enterprising newspaper in Philadelphia, is
at the St. Nicholas. He has a bread,
smiling, geed-natured face, handsome blue
eye, and is full of new jokes and geed
things.
Majer Ben Perlcy Poere, the veteran
journalist, waddles like a duck. He is a
great relic-hunter particularly of the abo
riginal Indians. He tells a geed story,
enjoys a geed drink, and can 'give mere
personal reminiscences of public men than
any man living.
Ben Hill, leeks like a Methodist itinerant.
His head is always bowed, and when he
walks the streets one would think he was
en the lookout for a lest pocket-book. He
has a lantern-jawed face, net ever pleas
ing, but has a deep-blue eye, and in con
versation is exceedingly affable.
Senater Jeseph E. Brown, of Georgia,
sauntered about the halls in the Bnrnet
house in his quiet away, and was mere
observed than any ether man in the house.
His long white beard gives a finishing
touch te his clear-cut, positive features.
Hen. Jeseph E. McDonald, of Indiana,
the man is naturally affable with every
one without losing any of his dignity, is
marked by the villainous cut of his black
alapaca coat.
Hen. Frank Landers, Democratic candi
date for Gqverner of Indiana, displayed
his angular form in a neat suit of dark
blue broadcloth, the whole pile sur
mounted by a neatly brushed silk hat. It
was the common remark that he never
was se well dressed in his life. He has no
lightening-red, and seems te have dark
horse hopes.
Governer McEneery, of Louisiana, is a
gentleman of about fifty, tall, well propor
tion, standing nearly six feet, and weighing
probably one hundred and sixty-five te one
hundred and seventy-five pounds. His
beard, worn upon the chin and upper lip.
is gray, with a sandy tinge, hair mixed
with gray, complexion light and eyes dark
and keen. In bearing he is a thorough
gentleman and in conversation easy and
agreeable, with a marked absence of South
ern accecnt peculiar te the section which
he represents.
General Spiuela, of New Yerk, the man
with the wonderful shirt cellar, changed
his cellar twenty-live times yesterday. He
was bound te keep his side-beards stand
ing and create a sensation.
The Squire's Handsome Crowd.
The Philadclphians compose the only
uniformed clubs here, and they tread the
ground like veterans. Their march this
morning from the depot te Walnut street
house, a distance of nearly a mile, through
the principal streets, was a continued ova
tion. The 'Squire and his men take the
cake. Their cut-away coats and white hats
are mere showy than the sack suits and
dark hats of the American boys, and then
their yellow bamboo canes, which every
man in the march carried as a Russian
Duke is supposed te carry his sword gives
them a very martial appearance. When
somebody remarked te the 'Squire that his
club laid ever the deck, he replied :
' ' That's what I started in te de and I'm
geimj te de it."
Speaker RanUall Serenaded.
The Randall club, of Philadelphia, pa
raded last night, and serenaded Hen. S. J.
Randall at ;his headquarters at the St.
Nicholas hotel. After repeated calls Mr.
Randall appeared ou the balcony and
spoke as fellows :
Fellow citizens of Philadelphia and
Pennsylvania : It is a source of great grat
ification for me te see you te-night. That
you, as fellow-citizens of Philadelphia and
Pennsylvania should attend this great
Democratic national convention affords me
intense pleasure. I am satisfied, from
every indication about us, that the de
liberations of this great body will be
entirely harmonious, and that coming
here as Democrats honestly endeav
oring te de that which will best subserve
the interests of our party and government
we shall go home with no differences be
tween us and with the satisfaction of
knowing that we have discharged a geed
and honorable duty, with the knowledge
that the ticket we will present te the pub
lic, will receive their endorsement in No
vember next. The Democratic party has
been tried in defeat, and with every defeat

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
PAINFUL ACCIDENTS.
W. D. Sprcchcr's Nese Split Open and Jehn
Duncan's Nese llreken.
Yesterday afternoon Wm. I). Sprcchcr
dealer in agricultural implements, went te
the farm of Henry Trout, about two miles
north of this city te set up a reaper with
rake attachment for Isaac Rinc, the
lessee of the farm. The work was seen
accomplished and the reaper was
doing its work very satisfactorily,
when Mr. Sprcchcr thought the knife
bar might be adjusted a little
mere closely. He made the adjustment,
and while looking at the rake, which
sweeps horizontally ever the table upon
which the grain falls, and rises vertically
as seen as the grain is dropped, caught
Mr. Sprcchcr immediately under the nose,
split it badly, and would undoubtedly have
crushed through his forehead had he been
an inch or two closer.' The wound bled
fearfully but is net considered dangerous.
It was as seen as possible attended te by
Dr. Reed, ami Mr. Sprcchcr is at his pest
this morning with a swelled " face and a
black eye.
Jehn Duncan a fourteen-year-old son of
Wm F. Duncan the East King street mer
chant, was sent en an errand yesterday
afternoon te the cigar-box manufactory of
Frank L. Krauskop, North Mulberry
street. As he entered the room in which
a circular saw was running at great speed,
a small block of weed was thrown from the
saw with great force, and passing the
head of Mr. Krauskop who was attending
the saw, flew directly towards Master
Duncan and struck him a fearful blew in
the face, felling him senseless te the fleer.
Surgeons were hastily sent for and Dr.
Foreman was the first te respond. He
found the lad's left check te be badly
bruised, and his nose cut deeply just Lclew
the eyes and the bones somewhat fractur
ed. The wound was dressed and the boy
was taken te his home in Dr. Foreman's
carriage. He passed a somewhat restless
night but te-day is doing well.
Loek te the Census.
That many persons should have been
overlooked by the census enumerators,
in the recent hastily taken enumeration,
was te have been expected, and it was for
the purpose of supplying such emissions
and correcting ether mistakes that the
census enumerators arc required te deposit
their books with the prothenotary, and
after having given five days notice, sit in
the court house te receive names emitted
and make all necessary corrections.
A very casual examination of the books
already filed with the prothenotary, dis
close many emissions. In a single precinct
of one of the city wards, a score of names
are known te have been emitted in a sin
gle block, and scattering names emitted in
ether sections of the precinct.
It was fully believed before the enumer
atien that the population of Lancaster was
net less than 28,000. The returns made by
the enumerators makes it less than 20,000.
There can be no doubt these low figures
have been caused by the failure of the
officers te find the residents or their care
lessness in transcribing the names. Let
every citizen who is net sure that his name
and the names of all his family have been
taken, examine the books in the prothono prethono protheno
tary's office and see that the names are
placed thereon. Lancaster cannot afford
te be placed lower down in the list of
cities than her true population places her.
C. A. LAMAR.
A Member or the Philadelphia i;ar Who
Sells Begus Jewelry and Sets in
the Leck-up.
Ou Saturday night a young man calling
himself C. A. Lamar, and representing
himself as being a member of the Philadel
phia bar (probably he meant a bar-room)
made his appearance in this city. Yester
day morning he started out through the
town calling upon several Greenback peli
ticians. He told rhem that he was a
Greenback orator and would speak in the
square. He had no letter of introduction,
but said he was just what he represented
and would certainly speak. He called at
several of the newspaper offices and at
all of them he wanted te see the editor.
He did finally succeed in seeing one or two
editors, but the receptions given him were
net at all warm. The Greenback men
were suspicious of the orator and before he
appeared in Centre Square in the evening
they learned that he was a bogus jewelry
agent. They warned him net te attempt
te speak, but he had made up his mind
and would net change it. Shortly before
8 o'clock he took his stand en a store box
near the monument. On the box was a
large valise and an accordcen, and the
light was thrown en the subject ( of this
item ) by a patent oil lamp such as are
used by all street fakirs.
Upen taking the stand Mr. Lamar, with
out being introduced, told the crowd,
which was piite large, that he was a
Greenback erat jr and intended te make a
speech. Before speaking he told several
alleged funny stories, which disgusted,
even the boys, with the famous orator and
member of the Philadelphia bar. He
finally began speaking ami held the atten
tion of the audience for about ten minutes.
During his speech he referred te
the " political politicians," the "menied
men and the corporations in the severest
terms. In the audience were two drunken
men who shared with the orator the
honors of the evening. One of them was
very full and when the orator spoke of
the ''great and glorious republic," he
said "Ged bless the republic, but who
will be the Democratic nominee." The
orator was net te be interrupted although
the drunken men asked him a number of
difficult questions and several times
told him te say something about
Garfield. Mr. Lamar's speech, which any
school boy could have made, was
finally brought te an end by a crowd of
boys who almost threw ever the box in
their efforts te see the large satchel which
they believed te contain something mys
terious. At the close of the speech the
orator opened the valise and displayed a
large let of bogus jewelry, lie said that
he intended passing around his hat for the
purpose of taking up a collection " te de
fray expenses." He would net take less
than ten cents from any one person
nor mere than live, dollars. All who
gave him money would receive a piece
of jewelry, iu return, and he advised
the crowd, which by this time had learned
the real game of the " distinguished
member of the Philadelphia bar," te be
liberal with him. He stepped down from
his box and a man in the crowd had just
placed ten cents in his hat when Ollicer
Fulmcr stepped up and arrested the orator
for selling without a license, lie was taken
before Alderman Spurrier, and being un
able te furnish bail, was placed in the lock
up for the night.
Before Lamar began speaking, the
mayor, who had been informed of his real
business, told the police officers te have
him arrested if he attempted te sell any
jewelry. Chief of Police Deiehler informed
him of this, but he did net heed it, and
after complaint was made against him. he
was arrested. Thi-morning he was taken
before Alderman Spurrier, and after the
case was heard was discharged
upon his paying the costs, amounting te
ever $:, and premising that he would net
again attempt te sell in this city.
Immediately after the arrest of Lamar,
Rebert J. Housten told the crowd that the
Grccnbackers here were net responsible
for the performance of Lamar. The latter
informed him during the day that he was
an orator and was going te speak. Mr.
Housten did net knew him then, but in
the evening he learned that he was a jew
elry peddler and advised him net te speak.
He was determined te speak, however,
and when Mr. Housten and his friends
learned this they told the mayor and ad
vised him te have Lamar arrested if he at
tempted te dispose of his bogus goods.
Lamar has traveled through this state,
and his performance everywhere was the
same as last night. Seme days age a man
answering his description was arrested in
Ilarrisburg, where he was delayed for
several days. He stepped at several dif
ferent hotels during his stay in this city,
and en Sunday he was unceremoniously
"fired" from the City hotel, as he was be
lieved te be a fraud. He is about six feet
high, wears a "dice box" hat and a brown
suit of clothes. He has a way of making
himself very important, and seems desirous
of impressing all who come iu contact
with him with the idea that he is a great
man. He is undoubtedly a big fraud, but
a very ignorant one, and persons convers
ing with him should net be long in ascci
taining that fact.
Kehigiuitiuusat St. James Schools.
Misses Martin and Kemp have both, re
signed their positions as teachers in the
the St. James schools, this city, the latter
having accepted a very remunerative situ
ation as teacher in Denver, Colerado. The
July number of the Scheel Journal has this
handsome tribute te Miss Martin: "This
lady holds the state diploma as graduate
from the Millersville normal school, and
has for some years been doing most excel
lent work in the teaching of mathematics,
literature, astronomy, botany. hs.Uery,
Latin, German and ether branches. Miss
Martin will be a valuable acquisition te
the working force of any geed high school,
advanced school for young ladies, or state
normal school. Teachers of her personal
and professional qualifications are seldom
te be had 'at call,' but rather as a bit of
unusual geed fortune."
An Old 1ejj.
Yesterday a 14 year old deg belonging
te Theodere Wenditz, breathed his last.
He had been sick for some time, and as he
endured a great deal of pain Mr. Wenditz
theuirht it best te have him killed. He
was a quiet, unassuming deg, and as he
molested no one that may account for his
Ien" life.

"A Consistent Journal."
Under the above heading the Marietta
Register prints an editorial in which the
editor pays his respects te the Xtw Era's
"crookedness" in denouncing Tem Davis
and the investigating committee appointed
by the late Republican beard of return
judges, and advocating the cause of Adam
Eberly, the Bull Ring candidate. Fellow
ing is an extract from the Register :
Fer petty spite and unreasonable preju
dice agaiust a man who does net suit its
jesthetic tastes, the Xew Era carries away
the palm. During the convocation of the
return judges at Fulton hall, en May 24
and 23. there were outrages and on
slaughts made upon that convention
by a gang of roughs, hired for the oc
casion, and assisted in their work by
the chairman of the convention and the
chairman of the county committee, that
were a disgrace te the community, yet
the Xexc Era failed te explain in whose
interest that gang of roughs was employed
te brew-beat the convention. The Xeie
Era failed te explain hew the chairman
of the county committee " boosted " upon
that convention a chairman who was net
elected upon the first ballet, 'and that
model paper failed te explain hew J. W.
Jehnsen, without being called upon by, or
even asked te appear before, the commit
tee en investigation, showed himself there
and desired te run the whole committee
by his dictation, making threats openly
that they must de se. The Xuc Era also
forget, conveniently, te say that the rules
required the chairman of the county com
mittee te provide a suitable room iu which
for the investigating committee te meet
and that is just what the chairman did net
de.
In attacking Thes. J. Davis, because he,
upon the face of the returns, was nomi
nated, and defending the ease of Adam .1.
Eberly, who was net nominated for the
district atterneyship, the Xeir Era has
been anything but consistent. It. has in
tentionally given but one side of the case,
and emitteil damaging facts upon the
ether side ; therelere, we concluded, that
a neicspaper that iceuld allow itself te be
subsidized en the notorious riot bill, might
also allow itself te be subsidized en ether
things.
RUNAWAY ACUIUENT.
Driver and Herse Hurt Wilsen H'ree'tel.
This morning about 8 o'clock as Henry
Ceble, a driver in the employ of Steinuiau
& Ce., was delivering goods en North
Queen street, between Lemen and
James, it commenced te rain. .Mr.
Ceble picked up his coat, which was
lying in the wagon and legan putting
it en. The swinging of the garment fright
ened the horse and it darted forward at full
speed. Before Mr. Ceble could secure the
reins, the runaway horse came in such
forcible collision with a wagon standing
in front of Zecher's carriage shop, that Mr.
Ceble was thrown forward upon the
shafts, and fell thence te the ground,
and becoming entangled in the
lines was dragged along under the
wagon as far as the corner of North Queen
and James street, where he get loose, but
net until he had sustained severe injuries.
The horse continued its flight along James
street te Leman's rifle works, wheic it
ran against the fence, fell down and in
jured itself quite severely, and badly dam
aged the wagon the shafts being broken,
the front wheels wrecked and the body
shattered. The horse is badly cut and
bruised about the head, legs and body. .Mr.
Ceble was conveyed te his home near the
gas works, where he received medical at
tendance. He is very badly cut, bruised
and sprained, but has no bones broken.
His injuries are net considered dangeieus.
Carrier Pigeons Captured.
Milten J. Ruth, a pigeon fancier of this
city has had a rather strange expeiience
within the past few days A strange! car
rier, alighted at his pigeon cote, 15 East
German street, and was captured. An e -aminatien
of the bird showed that it be
loused te Jeseph R. Husseu Ne. 1 1 1
Broadway, N Y., the wing-feathers bear
ing his stamp and that it had been slightly
wounded by being shot in the first joint of
the wing. It is supposed te be one of the
birds started by Mr. Husseu from Steuben
ville, Ohie, as a contestant in the great fly
from Stcubcnville te New Yerk.
Yesterday Mr. Ruth captured another
wounded carrier en the court hetu'c pave
ment. The bird was very tame and was
picked up by hand without trouble. It
was stamped with the name of Samuel
Erdly, Trenten, New Jersey, and had also
been shot in the first joint of the wing.
It is certainly remarkable that two lame
birds, se far from home, and their home-;
se far apart, and both belonging te noted
pigeon fanciers should find hospitable
quarters iu the same cote and be cared for
by a third fancier. Mr. Ruth has notified
the owners of the birds that they are in
his possession.
