Garfield's Flans.
Garfield's cabinet making is the chief
topic of consideration among the politi
cians of his party and the busy news
paper correspondents who buzz around
Menter. They seem te agree that Blaine
is te be secretary of state and most likely
that Allisen or James F. Wilsen will be
come secretary of the treasury, which
two most important positions being as
signed te the syndicate of Garfield,
Blaine and Allisen, the remainder of the
cabinet forms a subject for speculation
that is of miner interest. These two
portfolios will include the assignments te
foreign missions and the lucrative ami
influential iwsitiens in the elaborate
financial system of the country. Fer the
organization of commanding political in
fluence they are wertii mere than all the
ether cabinet places, and Garfield can
afford te dispose of the ethers as
make-weights in his scheme of harmony
within the party by concilatien of all
factions. Mr. Cameren may get one of
his ponies in for secretary-of war, and
New Yerk may be satisfied with the pro
motion of h r postmaster te the postmas
ter generalship ; Mr. Garfield will see
that the secretaryship of the interior
does net get into dangerous hands, and
the sentimental element of his party
will be placated with some eminent law
yer for attorney general.
"When the crew is completed and the
ship fully manned, the pert for which it
will be seen te be steering will be the
second term. The controlling influences
of the new administration are te be these
which secured Mr. Garfield's nomination,
and net the stubborn Grant faction
which went down at Chicago without
lowering its battle flags. hu field's ad
ministration will be st r". . within its
own party and shrewd . -s diploma
cy than Hayes, but for '..'. it will be
factious, and it will be p. . 1 te defeat
Conkling's purpose te HiaKe Grant the
candidate of 18S4. Mr. Garfield is an
" artful dodger," but he wiilbeconfront wiilbecenfront wiilbeconfrent
ed with situations that he cannot dodge,
and the outbreaks of Mr. Hayes, in these
latter days of his administration, against
the stalwarts are net going te make Gar
field's relations with the Conkling wins
any the less embarrassing.

The appointment of Supreme Judge s '
Streng and Bradley te inverse the ; d
verse legal tender decision was the we sl
blew that the integrity of the judiciary
had received up te that time. It has been
followed by the abuse of the Inderal ju
diciary te shameless partisan ends in
many instances, t-spKdally among the
liweranule of United Statrs jusigi-s in
the Seuth, recruited from the ranks f
political adventurers. Tin- result li; s

mere rigidly should the incumbent seek

that Stanley Matthcws's appointment te
thp. RunreniG bench lias in view
the reversal by that jurisdiction
of the decision a'firming the coiwtitu ceiwtitu coiwtitu
tienalityof theTlmrman Pacific railroad
act. Air. Hayes no doubt wants te re
ward his friend and neighbor and rela
tive for his valuable services as a " vis
iting statesman." and the great railroad
corporations arc glad of the chance te
get a man en the bench who has bceu
avowedly their friend and the enemy of
the people's legislation te call them te
account. The Democratic senators have
but one duly in these premises. That is
te reject, a nomination which was net fit
te be made.
---
The Republicans made their president
in 1S76 by one vote, securing for him by
resort te fraud 185 electoral votes, of
which 3 were obtained for him from
Nevada. Last year the election might
have turned en the same state when its
electoral votes would have been secured
te the advantage of the Democrats. The
census shows that the population
of that state is 02,205, with its
resources declining and its popu
lation retrograding. This "state"
has less than half the population of Lan
caster county, and our county is below
the average of a congressional represen
tation. Yet Nevada has two United
States senators and one congressman
three votes in the electoral college. A
"rotten borough" like this is of course the
spoil of a few rich men struggling ter
office, and whether they spend their
money in a fight for it or peel their issues
and part the raiment the result is equally
disgraceful and unfair te states of re
spectable proportion

men. one would think that in a city. Re
publican by 12,000 or 15.000 majority, no
such peel would be required te secure
the approval of the people at the polls.
The incident, however, which is net pe
culiar te Republicanism, nor te Philadel

been very anxious te gtt away from
their own precedents since the
Democrats have come into con-
trel of Congress. The Democracy
de well te insist that a Democratic Heuse
or Senate shall have the same power te
reject a return that the Republican
Heuse or Senate used te exercise. Mere

less they will net take. If they had
adhered in 1876 te the precedents set by
the opposition, the Hayes count-in could
never have been accomplished.

Hiscock, of New Yerk, wants te be

The great Rescoe is willing, provided, with
ihrce big oaths, that Hiscock agrees with

net propose te allow "the dunning,

This is the very latest : "It is no seciet
among the general's friends that he means
te call into the cabinet Rebert Lincoln, of
Chicago, the son of the great president.
Mr. Lincoln is a sound lawyer and a
zealous Republican. He was an ardent
Grant man in the movements preliminary
te the Chicago convention and presided at
the great Grant meeting in that city. It
is believed that this selection will be grati
fying te General Grant, and it is known
that it will be peculiarly gratifying te Gen
eral Legan."
One of the most remarkable genre pie
tares of late years is the one recently pur
chased by Mr. Vandcrbilt from the artist,
Alfred Steven, for 810,000. The subject
is a fashionable drawing room at the pres
ent day ; the walls arc crowded with pic
tures, reproduced with marvelous fidelity
and the delicate finish bestowed en the
statuettes, flowers, embroidered cushion,
Persian carpet and Japanese screen are in
the artist's most perfect manner. It is in
the dresses of three ladies who figure en
Jils emvas that Mr. Stevens has, however,
most, displayed the qualities that make
him pie eminent as a genre painter. Ne
living artist is his superior in delineating
silks and velvets; and a block grenadine
diess with geld embroidery, as well as a
white plush robe with pearl trimming.
! will create a sensation at New Yerk. Twe
large mirrors in which the salon, its con
tents and occupants are reflected, enable
the painter te produce light effects of the
most brilliant order.

quandary that if he should return te

Miss Wallace is just recovering from the
effects of an accident which happened last
August. She was thrown from her horse
while riding and was seriously injured.
She does net dance as much .this year as
she did last winter, as she has net entirely
recovered her strength."
When Senater Cameren recently visited
Menter he aud the president elect had a
full and frank understanding of the matter;
and Senater Cameren, at General Gar
field's request, ' submitted the names of
three gentlemen, cither of whom, he said
would be acceptable te the people of Penn

There is but ene honorable course for
th Democrats in the present state Senate
and Heuse of Representatives te pursue
under the present circumstances, aud that
is te cast their votes for Hen. Win. A.
Wallace, the caucus nominee. The Demo

members for his own private benefit will
find his political grave very suddenly.
After an interview with the leading Demo
cratic members of the present Senate and
lieuse of Representatives, we de net fear

A UIJT Surprise l'cirly.
A monster surprise party occurred at
Jehn Coulter's, in the lower end, en
Tuesday, the 23th inst. Tickets were is
sued en this occasion gilt-edged, round
cornered, cream bristel and at 10 a. m.,
while Susan and Jehn were warming
themselves at the kitchen fire they were
startled by the jingle of sleigh bells near
the house, and mere startled when the
jinsile ceased at the very uoer. Jehn went
out and welcomed tha callers, but had
scarcely de"c the welcome when another
aud then another came, ami continued te
come until fully 130 people has congre
gated. Jehn was dazed, Susan com
pletely bewildered, and the doctor looked
into the eyes of these two and niade a
diagnosis of their cases, with an estimate
of the probability of a fee for a certifi
cate. The lawyer looked in his
hat for the necessary blanks, but
some thoughtful person relieved the
stress upon the Coulter brain by whisper
ing "surprise party." Jehn and Susan
immediately comprehended, a sudden
flash of intelligence overspread their coun
tenances, which caused a sigh of disap
pointment te escape from the lips of the
doctor and the lawyer. The horses being
cared for, the wraps aud overcoats care
fully laid away, frills and flounces smooth
ed out, our hosts were at liberty te view
the assembled guests. Imagine their sur
prise and pleasure, when after passing the
towering form of Kale Conner.thcy discov
ered among the company representatives
of the medical profession, the bar and the
pulpit, three newly married couples, and
a geed sprinkling of these young men and
maidens en the verge of matrimony whose
presence always adds interest te such an
occasion.
The important time came aud when the
guests wcre escorted into the dining room
a thrill of delight ran through all, and one
young miss was heard te exclaim, "Oh,
dear, did -you ever see sueh an array of
sweet cakes, turkeys and ether animals'?"
The tables were replenished the third time
with 30 it each.
iMusic followed, soul-thrilling music by
Miss Valentine, Mrs. H. Davis and Mr.
Cenner, soles, with full choruses, of se in
spiring a nature that Rutter and Beb for for
eot themselves and went off in a ecstasy of
rapture, exclaiming in heartfelt language
"splendiferous, Beb ;" "grandiloquen "grandilequen "grandiloquen
tieus, Rutter;" Cenner smiled. The
vocal was followed by instrumental duets
by the Misses Martin and Collin. Every
one appeared te enjoy themselves, and the
affair was oue of the most successful sur
prises ever witnessed in Bart.
And why net 'J the hosts deserve te be
respected by all who knew them : no
where in the lower end of this county
could a company f surprisers meet with a
mercheartv. welcome, or better ireatment
than at J. J. Coulter's.

apparently suffering from a cold, sang,
notwithstanding, with geed elfect, and
received an eneore after singing " The
Kerry Dunce." The fourth en the pro pre
gramme, " In the Happy Leng Age," was
sung by Mr. Mewcry in .striking contrast
with the preceding one, a quartette "The
Rever's Grave" of which nut a half dozen
of the words were articulated distinctly.
While Mr. Mowery's want of strength of
voice is apparent in the choruses, he gives
full value te the phraseology when singing
alone. He sang, "A Flower Frem my
Angel Mether's Grave," with banjo aceem-
pauiment, with a pathos that we seldom
heard equalled, aud which wet many an eye
with tears. Professer Woodward gave a
fine exhibition of his powerful basso iu
"The Tempest," which, if he would have
restrained in the quartette, they would have
been received with general approval.
Much humor was elicited by " The Sing
ing Lessen" by Miss Trever and Prof.
Woodward, and "The Laughing Trie"
by Misses Troyer and Sener and Prof.
Woodward, accompanied en the organ by
Mr. Mowery.

Collir's - Ranker's Dati'jliler " at the Opera
iiutis.
The presentation of Bronsen Heward's
play of " The Banker's Daughter," by J.
W. Cellier's company last evening, at
tracted a brilliant and fashionable audience
that entirely filled the opera house. Noth
ing was lacking te niakn the performance
praiseworthy throughout, and the audience
sat through the live acts with pleased and
continually growing satisfaction. The
story is familiar te playgoers and readers.
The sacrifice of a daughter te save her
father ; her marriage with a man she docs
net love, but who is the soul of
honor and pure devotion ; his discovery of
his wife's indili'erence te him, after having
lived with her for a period of years oil'er eil'er
ing daily his devotion at a shrine which
with the blindness of love he could net see
was veiled te him ; their separation, and in
the cud the husband's recall by the wife,
who, during his absence, has learned te
knew hew well she loved him all this is
related with a wealth of incident that en
gages and retains the closest attention aud
a depth of pathos that appeals te the iu iu
mest sensibilities of the spectator. The
intrinsic merit of tiiis really excellent
work is net. lessened by the fact that it is
entirely devoid of the tendency te cater te
a morbid appetite that comprises a rock ei
offense in se many " society" plays.
The cast last evening was nearly identi
cal with that by which the piece wa3 given
here last year. The engagement of 3Ir.
F. C. Bangs, te impersonate the leadimr
male role of JeTtn isirebelew, is a valuable
acquisition te the strength of the com
pany. Mr. Bangs is a geed actor who has
successfully plaj'cd star engagements in
classic parts in many of the leading thea
tres of the country, and the quality of his
metal is seen te line advantage in his in
tcrprctat ion of this role catling for the ex
hibition of pure, manly, chivalrous love
and pitiful suffering. In every phase
of the character he meets all demands
in admirable style. Signer Majcreni re
mains with the company, and his rendition
of the role of the passionate and jea!eu3
Frenchman is an artistic piece of work.
3Ir. Charles Walcot develops an unexpect
ed amount of humor in his rather unim
portant part of au American tourist in the
dry goods line, and the ether gentlemen of
the cast filled all requirements. 3Iii3
Anna Beyle, a remarkably pretty young
lady, made a very favorable impression iu
the title role ; her acting in the scene iu
which she discloses te her husband her
fancied love for another being especially
powerful, and evoking frera the audience
a persistent effort te call her before the
curtain, which, however, failed. 3Irs.
Walcot is always geed, and she main
tained her reputation in the character of
Florence St. Vincent Brown, the giddy
patcd butterfly, who serves te amuse and
vex during the entire performance. The
costumes, Fc?nic effects aud general meuntl
ing of the play were uncommonly hamu
sonic.

OUR -WATER SUPPLY.
VARIOUS IMPROVEMENTS SCGUKSTEU.
Views of
tiie 3Iayer, Superintendent and
Others.
In view of the fact that city councils
meet te-morrow evening, and the question
of making some further improvements at
the water works wiil probably Ik discussed,
a representative of the Intelligence!:
yesterday interviewed Mayer 3IacGenigIc,
Superintendent Kitch, Jehn Best and
ethers and requested them te give their
opinions as te what was necessary te be
done in the premises.
His honor the mayor said that his
opinion was very fully expressed in the re
port of the water committee made te
councils at their last meeting, and in the
ordinance presented en that occasion for
the improvement of the water supply.
(lis views were, in brief, that a nest of
four new boilers, of greater capacity than
these new in use. should be at once erected
en a line south of the present boiler house.
and that, te accommodate them, the boiler
house should be enlarged, or a new
boiler house be built. The boilers new in
use are in fair condition, but are barely
sufficient te run the Worthingfen steam
pump. Accidents are liable at any mo
ment te occur, aud if they should occur
the city has nothing te fall back upon.
i nc ueucrs nave ueuu iu utmost constant ue
ever since they were erected and have
been subjected te a strain entirely tee se
veie. The first step te be taken, in the
mayor's opinion, is te contract at once
for a new set of boilers of a capacity twice
as great as these new in use. with a
cut oil se airanged that any two of the
ncv set, or the entire old set,
could be used as exigency might require.
The probable cost of the improvement, in
cluding a new boiler house and all neces
sary connections, would net exceed $0,000
or $6,500. This improvement has been
tee long delayed and should be commenced
immediately. Other improvements, as
suggested by the water committee a month
age, should fellow. These consist of the
purchase of another Worthington pumn
of a capacity of 3.000,000 or G. 000,000 gal
lons of water daily ; the extending of the
20-inch Orange street main te the western
part of the city, and laying in ether sections
mains of larger calibre than these new in
use the total cost of all the improvements
suggested being estimated at 600,000. te
meet which a lean of that amount has been
approved by the water committee.
The Superintendent's Opinion.
Superintendent Kitch agreed with
the mayor as te the :iMpssitv of
the improvements suggested. He said th
boilers new iu use have been very service
able ones, but taey have been subjected te
unusual strain almost constantly, and that
the walls supporting them have given way
and require repair. The dreuth of last
summer aud fall, se dried up the Cones Cenes
toga cieek, that the Gsyelin and Birken
biue pamps, run by water power, were
almost useless, and this made it necessary
te run the Worthington steam pump, the
greater part of the season, both day and
night As a consequence, the lire-surfaces
of the boilers are growing thin, aud
en Saturday night lat a patch had te be
put en one of them, some 24 by 22 inches
square. This necessitated the stepping of
the steam pump for about 12 hours, anil
within that time the city reservoir let l
inches of water and this was Saturday
night and Sunday morning, at which time
less water is used than duringauy ether por
tion of the week. Should an accident hap
pen that would require the stepping of the
Worthington pump for any considerable
time, the reservoirs would run dry in from
48 te 60 hours, providing the water-power
remained as it is at present. Should the
water-power be no better during April or
May than it is new, the steam pump
would be taxed te its utmost capacity te
keep up the supply, and then if an accident
were te happen there would be a water
famine.
On being questioned as te what should
be done with the water-power pumps in
case the new Worthington pump aud new
boilers were erected, both the mayor and
superintendent said they favored keeping
them where they are and running them te
their full capacity whenever there was a
sufficient head of water in the creek te
warrant it.
Mr. Kitch believed ifc would be true
economy as well as sound policy te pro
cure a new set of boilers at ouce ; for new,
the repairs tethe old eues have te be made
during the night, and workmen charge
deuble wages for night work, though they
cannot de half as much work as they can
de in the daytime.
Chief Engineer Wm. F. Stehman coin
cides with Superintendent Kitch as te the
condition of the present works and the
necessity for a new set of boilers. The
boilers are blown out and thoroughly ex
amined and cleaned by the superintend
ent, engineers and firemen, without extra
cxpense te the city, every two weeks.
They are in as geed condition as could be
expected, considering the hard work they
have te de.
A Manufacturer's View.
Jehn Best, boiler and engine maker, en
being asked his epiuinn of the need of fur
ther steam power, was at first rather reti
cent, saying that if he expre-scd his opin
ions freely his motives might be called in
question and he might be suspected of
looking after a job. On being pressed,
however, he said that no individual busi
ncsi man or firm of faii intelligence would
attempt te transact the amount of busi
ness the city is new doing at the water
works with the small capacity of boilers
they new have in use. He built thnsu
boilers himself, but net te run the 11,000,
000 gallon pump they new drive. They
were built for au engine of much smaller
capacity. 3Ir. Worthington's own engineer
recommended four 40-hersc power boilers
te run his pump, while the four new in
constant use are only 20-horse power.
All boilcre are liable at times te be
damaged by overheating. These boilers
were overheated before the Worthington
pump was put in, and ought net te be sub
jected te the task which they are new per
feiming. Ne man having a contract te
supply 2,000 people with water, and te
furnish a supply for the imraense manu
faeturing interests of a city like ours,
would be permitted te attempt doing it
with the scanty means the city new em
ploys. If security were required for the
fulfilment of the contract, no man of sjnsc
would become bondsmen for a contractor
se reckless. The great manufacturing
concems of the city are unsafe in trusting
their interests te the present means of
supply. In Mr. Best's opinion four new
boilers of 30 or 40-horse power should be
at once placed in the water works. Al
though he had made no calculations of the
cost, he believcd-the work could be done
for $5,000, including the building of a new
boiler house. The stack, and the Hue con
necting the old boilers with it, arc of suffi
cient capacity te accommodate the new
boilers also. The new boilers should be
placed south of and en a line with the old
ones, and all could be placed under the
same reef. If a new pump of greater ca
pacity were erected, .Mr. Best warmly
favored the Worthington, which he re
garded as better and cheaper than any
ether.
Anether Snow Storm.
Last nizht about 10 o'clock another
snow storm sctf in and the fall continued
all night. By daybreak the new snow was
about three indies in dppth. and it has
emtinued te fall steadily all day. It
is very dry. has drifted a geed deal, and
railroad men fear a rather serious blockade
if the anew should continue and the wind
beceme-Wgher. As yet travel has net
been seriously interfered with,
THE I.KAF.
The Lecal Tobacco .llarhet.
During the past week the demand con
tinued active for 1S70 leaf. A large num
ber of prominent buyers were en hand and
each oneef them seemed desirous of obtain
ing all he could find et this once derided
but new popular erep. It is net, however,
se easily obtained as it might have been
sonic weeks age, and the total sales of the
past week wiil net, perhaps, feet up mere
than e00 caes ; but what was sold
brought advanced prices.
The new crop continues te hang fire,
especially that part of it (a very large
part) which sutl'ercd from the Ilea, the
grasshopper and the worm. Dealers may
want it they probably ie. for they
pay lull prices "for geed leaf,
wheiever they find it but they
have thus far carefully avoided
dabbling in. damaged goods unless they
could get them at their own figures, anil
consequently a comparatively smalt part
of the crop has yet been lifted. In seme
sections of the county searrelv a singla
crop uas iiC?n neught, while in ethers tha
buyers have gathered iu Iarf;e quantitk'S
Many farmers have net yet taken
a stocky from the poles, while ethers
have str'-pped, sold and delivered their
entire crops. On the whole the .state of
the market is very unsatisfactory, very
dull. This time last year activity reigned
everywhere ; thousands of men were en
gaged stripping, selling, buying, asserting
or packing tob.'eee. New both town anil
country are tame; but little of the
crop comparatively has been s.dd ; still
less delivered, and but few as-nnters
and packers an seen about the warehouse.
And yet when we come te feet up the sales
reported from day te day and from week
te week, wq find that a great many hun
dred acres have been bought, for which,
generally, very fair prices have been paid,
geed wrappers commanding 20. 2." or eveia
30 cents per ;eund ; the seconds ranging
frsm 7 te 12. and the tillers I mm "tee.
This is weil as far as it gees, but what are
hundreds of acres sold whim cempired
with the thousands of aeivs unsold. All
in all, tin' prospects are net brilliant for
cither buyers or sellers. The buyer de
clares the crop a peer one ; the grower fears
there is a combination among buyers
te heal him. Thern is net much
occasion for this distrust. The ex ex
eort tobacco grower can tell
very nearly what his tobacco is worth,
and the expert buyer can tell even mero
certainly, whether there is "anything in
it " as seen as he leeks at. a few samples.
Neither paitycan hope te deceive the
ether, and neither party, en the whole,
desires te de se. As te the ignorant
grower, who don't knew what his
erep is worth, he may hi- cheated if he
sells, or muy cheat htm-ulf if he refuses te
sell. In due time (though it may boa lit
tle late) the bulk of the crop of 1SS0 will
sell for just about wh-ir it is worth.
