LANCASTER DA1LI INTELLIGENCER SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1881 Lancaster intelligence?. 8 ATUBDAT EVENING, MABCH 20, 1881. The CemfHtable Seaaters. The Republican senators must be be ginning te feel their alliance with Ma Ma heneja be as uncomfortable as the shirt of Nessus, while their Democratic as sociates frolic gaily around them under a pleasurable sense of relief from the embarrassment of the Southern briga dier. When the Republican planners of the Mahone purchase fully come te real ize its cost, they will have geed reason te consider that they have paid very dear for their whistle, or rather their jews harp ; for it has a very sharp sound le the public ear and has net called forth for the performers any very hearty com mendation. Te the Democratic party it is a very valuable thing that the Republican orators have se completely estepped themselves from any future effort te attempt its prejudice in the Northern mind by charging against it its support by the soldiers of the Confed eracy. This has been a favorite and ef fective weapon of offence in the hands of our political opponents ; net simply in the way of exciting the prejudice of the Northern voter, but in embarrassing the Southern Democrat in his advocacy of the party. lie found that lie could net speak without misconstruction, and lie was net happy in tiie silence that was en forced upon him, and the position in the background of political affairs that pru dence commended te him. In the future he is free :is air. Ne longer need he re frain from the exercise of his right as an American citizen te speak and act. Xe longer will any one dare te seek te pre judice any portion of the people against him by reason of his rebellion record. Fer the Republican party has taken William Mahone te its besom, a relel major general, who te-day declares that but for accident he would at one time have destroyed the Union army and its cause ; and who net only has upon him the weight of this former disloyalty,.but also represents in his person the heresy of repudiation. The party which has proclaimed its loyalty during the rebel lion and its devotion te the preservation of national and state credit te be the foundation stones of its existence, has embraced and forgiven and made use of an arch rebel and repudiator. Xe man in the Seuth exists te-day who is mere obnoxious te the prejudices which the Republican party has for twenty years past been inculcating in the Northern mind. And this man it has new taken te be the head of the corner. It has made him chairman of an im portant committee, an unheard-of honor te a new member; and has given him a place en three ether committees. It has nominated for the Senate secretary ship the man who negotiated its alliance with Mahone. It has nominated, for the second officer of the Senate, a man pro posed by Mahone, and who is known te fame as the author of the " Riddleberger bill " which repudiates a large part of the debt of Virginia. What could this party de mere te close their mouth against the Southern brigadier ? It can assail him neither for disloyalty nor for the desire te repudiate his debt, which has seized upon se many , of these te whom war's hard fate left a legacy of poverty. We may, tUcrefere. new consider the old things le have fairly passed away. The rebellion era is finally ever.' The bloody shirt has gene into the rag barrel. That the Southern man is as geed as the Northern man and stands en an equal political footing, there is no one hereafter te dispute. That this is a great advantage te the Demo cratic party, whose Southern allies have suffered se severely under Northern prejudice, no one will gainsay. The Southern Democratic senators appreciate it. They pour het shot into their Re publican associates and rally them upon their strange recruit in a way which tes tifies te their thorough enjoyment of the situation. The Republican senators de net enjoy it se much. Mr. Hear se far forgets himself and his own record as te charge treason upon Senater Brown for filibus tering. It came te him naturally te cry treason. He has been crying it se long that word rolled out of his mouth invol untarily; and he suffered the neatest sort of decapitation when Senater Brown showed him that en a previous occasion he had been himself guilty of this very filibustering which he new charged as treason. Mr. Hear's head rolled right off into the basket from the block and under the knife which he had erected for his brother senator, who was from the Seuth. There is solid comfort in- Mahone. He is just where he can de the most geed. Who hired him te de the Demo cratic party se much benefit ? It is te Mr. Garfield and Mr. Conkling, blind leaders of the blind, that their political fees ewe this been. The acquittal of Kalloch, in San Francisce, was clearly due te the public sentiment that the newspaper, whose proprietor was slain, had provoked his fate. Kalloch, the mayor of San Fran Fran ciseo, when a preacher in Masachusetts, had se transgressed the moral law as te be driven from his pulpit. DeYeung published a scurrilous sheet which was never restrained from a spiteful vengeance by a sense of decency. The son of Kalloch slew the owner. In his acquittal the San Francisce jury declares that the edi tor carried his life in his hands, and that the law shall net be called en te punish the man who punished him for his of. fence acainst the law and public decen cy. The verdict is wrong, undoubtedly; but the lessen te 'the editors ofthcDe' efthcDe' ofthcDe' Yeung class may be useful. The Philadelphia rimes calculates that out of seventy secular days since the present session began, only forty eight witnessed sessions of the Legisla ture, and some of them were only of one body, and many were scarcely an hour long, weeks having been consumed in fruitlers balletings for senator. AH the same the members took their ten dollars per diem, for Sundays and week days, for time spent at home or wasted in Harrisburg. Hew would it de te allow our statesmen ten dollars a day for every day of ten hours work actually done? The anti-six-cent passenger car fare agitation has been resumed in Philadel phia. It should go en until the neces sary reform be effected. The passenger railways make enormous profits. "They exist and run the streets by public tol erance, and although they are a great; convenience, they have no right te tax the community .beyond a reasonable -profit en their enterprise, seeing that their franchises practically put them be yond the chances of competition. AIINOB TOFIOS. . There are mere merchants than lawyers in the Heuse at Harrisburg. Three Chinese women have been im mersed by the Baptists in California. Cardinal Mauxixg has written au earnest remonstrance against the military service of missionary priests in France. The Lutheran church in Poland, desir ing "a hymn-book above all things loyal te the Confessions," used very freely the hymn-book of the synod of Missouri. Lcther's famous hymn, "A Mighty Fortress is our Ged," which has been translated into a great many languages, new appears in a Zulu version. Little Rhede Island supports all the current parties, and the Greeubackers and Temperance men went through the motions of a state convention yesterday. There are 150 Teloegoo students in the theological institution at Ramapetam, in British India. Many of them are married men and their wives have daily studies. Ix ene district in Japan 6evcnty-2ight Buddhist temples are rcported te have been diverted te secular uses since 1873, and ever 700 in the whole empire since 1871. The Russian Baptists have sent a mis. lieuary te Bulgaria. The sale of Bibles has recenty been very large in Bulgaria, and there are signs, it is said, of a deep religious interest. Spukgeen says that there is a great deal of prayer which is done in a objec tionably slovenly tnanncr. He thinks that praying is quite as important as preaching aud that the preparation for it ought te be as carefully made. Bishop Hare has tweuty Indirn churches in hisdiocese. Most of them have Indian pastors and every ene has a native Indian who plays en the church organ or mcleodceu. The services are conducted witn as much propriety as any church in the country. The lower house of the state Legisla ture will held a special session of Tuesday evening next at 7:30 for the purpose of considering en second reading a resolution proposing an amendment te the constitu tion of the commonwealth, prohibiting the manufacture and sale of spirituous liquor iu this state. A Baptist theological seminary has been established in Paris under the care of Rev. E. C. Mitchell. He is greatly en couraged. Having taught 200 young men it the United States, he says that the French students are fully equal te these in America. Rev. Mr. Lcpeids, pastor of the Baptist churrh iu the Rue de Lille, in Paris has recently baptized 11 converts. Cncucn pews are the most difficult te quote of property. When their prices rule high it is an indication of the great popu larity of the clergyman in the pulpit. When they are dull of sale the tale is told the minister is a dull preacher. The ether day a pew in the Rev. Dr. Jehn Hall's church, in New Yerk, sold at auction for $3,200. The only way it happened te come into the market was that its owner had died. Ameso the many gods of the Chinese is the kitchen god. They put up a new one every New Year's Day, when they burn the old one. They think that this god takes care of everything in the kitchen ; and if the fire don't burn, or the bread is baking tee fast, or there is any trouble, they scold and beat the god. When he is burned, they think he gees te Heaven and tells all that has happened in their kitchen for a year ; se sometimes they daub molasses en his mouth before they burn him, and they think then he can't tell. The strange assertion is new made that the celebrated hymn beginning "I would net live always ; I ask net te stay," was written net by the Rev. Dr. Muhlenberg, who was always supposed te be its author, but by a dissipated printer in Litchfield, Conn. Ward, who is new dead, is said te have boasted that he set this hymu in type as he composed it, without first commit ting it te mauuscript. The general belief is that Dr. Muhlenberg wrote it about the year 1824, and there is no reasonable doubt of it. A drunken printer might claim te have written the Ten Command ments. When the editor of the Lancaster In quirer says that " wild and exaggerated statements written by the editor of the Intelligencer" were "imposed upon the New Yerk Independent as truths statements that even the Intelligencer, with all its recklessness of truth, would hesitate te make itself responsible for" it simply says what it knows is net true, which is nethiug new for the Inquirer and need net be wondered at or accounted for. Meanwhile -the Independent's inquiry re mains unanswered whether or net it is true that an aspiring Lancaster county editor gave a Mulhoely his note for $2,000 te be paid if Mulhoely elected him te Congress.

A desperate battle took place en Tues day in the Lee county, Va., mountains between twenty revenue officers and twen ty thrce moenshiners, near Middleton's still house, in which Jee, Jake and Bill Middleton were killed. The revenue officers failed te dislodge the moenshiners from the barricaded still houses and sent for reinforcements te take the hense by storm. The moenshiners sallied out and drove the besiegers away. PEBSONAIm Mr. E. H. Nevin, jr., of the Evening yicus, is te be nppeinted surveyor, of the pert of Philadelphia. He is a son of Rev E. H.

Jehn Jasper's firm belief that "de sun de move " has been pecuniarily profitable. He is in demand as a lecturer en the subject, and has from that source obtained money te pay a debt of $800 en his Richmond church. Senater Everhart, of Chester, has never drawn mere than one thousand dol lars compensation any term since the adoption of the new constitution, en the principle that it was all the law allowed, no matter hew long or short the session might be. Mr. Randall says He will net give an opinion as te the advisability of an extra session, and has net done se te auy ene, though consulted en the subject by Re publican leaders. Ihcy are in the ma jority new, and must assume their own re sponsibilities. If an extra session is called the Democrats will insist en the essential features of the vetoed bill. Cel. E. A. Roberts, the inventor and patentee of the successful torpedo for oil wells, died in Titusville yesterday after a brief illness. He served in the Mexican war and in the late civil war. Seme few years age he selected his burial let iu the Woodlawn cemetery, in Titusville, en which he caused te be erected a unique and costly monument. He leaves a large fortune. Mahone i s absent from the Senate and is reported te be sick abed. His illness excites the gossips, who suggest that the Republicans should secure the professional services of the most skillful medical prac titioner iu the country, as the party could net afford te have him die or be incapac itated just new. It is understood that Mahone is preparing an elaborate speech in defence of his position, and this, rather than illness, is the probable cause of his absence from the Senate chamber.

The woman giving her name as Flor ence McNeil, who was arrested in New Yerk for the alleged robbery of a set of diamonds valued at $1,250 in Chicago, turns out te be Mrs. Dr. Ward, who, while stepping at the Palmer house, suc ceed in getting from Geerge W. Perkins a diamond ring worth about $200, under pretense that she knew a person who would buy it. The stories as te the wealth of the husband and the extent of the rob bery are exaggerated. Broken en the Wheel. Leenard Warem, who had been employ ed by the Delaware & Hudsen canal company at Honcsdale for many years, met with a frightful death while acting in the capacity of supcrintendant of the Delaware & Hudsen packets at that place. He was caught upon a drum en which are wound the ropes leading te the cars. Yet the real cause of his death remains a mystery. He was en gaged in getting beards from a pile of lumber in the drum house, and ene of the sticks snapping attracted the attention of his fellow workmen,-who looked round te see Warem carried around the wneel te drop dead in the pit. The wheel was making fifty revolutions a minute, and when the stick broke, letting Warem against the the wheel, there was nothing te save him from instant death. The space through which the body passed be tween the wheel and the pit was four and a-half inches, and when found it was hor ribly mangled. The wheel was stepped as seen as possible and the remains taken from thepitt, when it was discovered that the jaw beue was broken, the skull frac tured, the breast bone, ribs and arm crushed and the left leg tern from the body.

Mr. Johnsten's Pungent Remarks en Repu diation and Republican Inconsis tency Oemecmts Held the Fert and Force an Adjournment. In the Senate yesterday, Mr. Dawes called up the election of Senate officers ; the pending motion being that te post pone its consideration until the nVt Mon day in December. Sir. Johnsten, alluding te the remark made yesterday by Mr. Hear te the effect that the preposition of the Democrats te filibuster against the resolution was trea sonable, suggested that some Eastern col lege should confer en that gentleman the degree of which Docter Pangless was se proud LL. D. and A. S. S. Laughter. The Republican party had kept the North solid by declarations that the Seuth was in favor of repudiating the" public debt, and that the only way te strangle the doc trine of repudiation was te keep the North solid against the Seuth. It was a great revolution which saw the Republican party iu caucus nominate for one of the highest offices of the Senate a Democrat and a rcpudiatienist a man who would be a petty lawyer but for the prominence given him by his repudiating opinions. He (Mr. John-ten) wanted te see whether the senator from Ohie (Mr Sherman), who had se builded up the credit of the United States, would vete for Riddleberger. He proceeded te give a brief record of the public acts of Mahone and Riddleberger, te show that they were Democrats and rcpudiaters, and in reply te a suggestion by Mr. Dawes, that his colleague (Mr. Mahone) was sick aud ab sent, said that he was willing te postpone his speech if Mr. Dawes would postpone his resolution, an agreement which Mr. Dawes declined te make. Mr. Legan inquired what effect the elec tion of a sergeant-at-arms could have upon the public credit. Mr. Johnsten replied that if the Repub licans elected a man they endorsed his public life and career. He quoted from editorials in prominent Republican jour nals strongly condemnatory of the Rid dleberger bill. Amongst the extracts was one from the Providence Journal, a paper partly owned by Senater Antheny, stating that the Republican party could net con sistently and honestly ally itself with the repudiating party of Virginia. Mr. Hawlcy Mr. Antheny met being present called attention te the fact that, though the paper belonged te Sena Sena eor Antheny, it did net fellow that he had written a word of that editorial. Mr. Johnsten Don't you believe they are his sentiments ? Then speech-making was abandoned and rqll call followed roll call en alternate' motions made en the Democratic side te" adjourn aud te go into executive stssien. These motions were all defeated generally by a tie vote, but at 6 o'clock se many senators were paired that the Senate was left without a quorum and the roll was called. Mr. Bayard suggested that as it was net desirable that the struggle should de I generate into ene of physical endurance it is better te adjourn Mr. Dawes remarked that he had never known anything practical te result from an attempt te enforce the attendance of absent members. He therefore moved an adjournment. Agreed te ; aud the Senate at 0:15 adjourned until te-day. w i STATE ITEMS. The Dauphin countyPenltry association has disbanded.

A sad tragedy occurred near Massengs, Accomac county, Va., last Monday. A gentleman living at th epeiut named gave a party, at which all the young ladies and gentlemen for sevcral miles around were present. During the evening a wealthy young farmer named William Northam at tracted general notice by his marked at tentions te a Miss Byrd, a beautiful girl, who was the belle of the party. Northam appeared te be thoroughly infatuated and remained like a shadow beside the young lady throughout the evening When the gathering brekeup Northam was overheard by Solemon Byrd, a brother of the young lady, making exaggerated complimentary remarks about the girl's beauty. Byrd at once stepped up and informed Northam that his remarks were impertinent and must cease. High words passed, but the yenng men separated without coming te blows. Later en, however, they met in the weeds en their way home, when the quar rel was renewed and Byrd stabbed North am through the heart, killing him in stantly. Byrd who appears te have been stricken with remorse, proceeded te Nertbam's home and conducted the Litter's father te the scene. The elder Northam was net aware of the nature of his seu's injuries until the corpse was pointed out te him by the murderer. Byrd fled pre cipitately after reaching the scene, fol lowed by the curses of his victim's father. The fugitive proceeded across the country te Crisfield, Somerset county, Md., and took a steamer for Baltimore. Beth fami lies of the parties and well-known and well-to-de. The Temperance Roem.

PALMER'S OPINION. The Legislators De Net Like It. In the state Senate yesterday Mr. Ger den offered the following : Whereas, The attorney general in a published opinion has advised the state treasurer and auditqr general that mem bers of the Legislature are entitled te re ceive only $1,000 for a hundred days of session aud that the law providing for ad ditional compensation at the rate of ten dollars a day net exceeding fifty days for extended time, which has been in exist ence and acted upon for seven years is un constitutional ; "And Whereat, Ne ether Legislature will meet for two years after the adjourn ment of this body for the purpose of gen eral legislation ; therefore, " Reselzcd (if the Heuse concur). That while we believe this decision works in justice te the members of the Legislature we nevertheless recognize that our duty and service te the commonwealth should be faithfully and fully discharged, irre spctive of said decision or its effect upon us ; and further "lieselccd, That we will remain in ses sion for such additional time beyond said one iuinureu nay, wnctuer pam ler tue same or net as shall be requisite for the passage of necessary legislation, for the conduct of the government, the reforma tion of existing abuses, the benefit of the people, aud all ether proper and necessary purposes." Mr. Sill offered the following as a sub stitute. "Whereas, The will of the pcople or the injunction of the constitution requires that certain acts be performed by the Lcgklature at its present session, promi nent amen winch are the refunding of maturing state bends at a reduced inter est ; the appartienment ei senators ana representatives of the Assembly ; the judi cial apportionment of the next decade ; the revision of the tax laws and the con sideration of certain ether questions re lerred te by his excellency in his annual message ; and " Whereas, The trust reposed by the people iu the present members of the Legislature is far above all questions of pecuniary rcwaid, as it may be affected by recently promulgated decisions as te compensation ; therefore "Iiesehed, That it is the sense of the Senate that no adjournment should be bad until each one of the above measures have been carefully considered and such con clusions arrived at as may best subserve the interest of this commonwealth." Mr. Laird thought the Senate had noth neth iug te de with the attorney general's opin ion, as it was net officially before it. Legislature should proceed without regard te the opinion. Mr. Newmycr saw no reason why the opinion should interfere with the duties of the Legislature. He did net beliove jn the spread-eagle declaration that the Leg islature would de their duty. Mr. Reyburufcensidered the opinion an outrage en the Legislature, aud it deserved no official recognition. Mr. Stewart expressed surprise that the attorney general should have written such an opinion, aud that the state treasurer aud auditor general seeuld have adopted the course they did. The action of the at torney general, and the declaration of the state treasurer net te pay members for their services, was revolutionary, aud an assault upon the power and dignity of the Legislature. The law fixing the salary of members, was presumed te be constitu tional until the supreme court declared it otherwise. Under the law the state treas urer is required te pay members en war rants drawn en him by the presiding offi cers of the Senate and Heuse. The at torney general had taken upon himself mere than legal authority, and the pro posed course of the state treasurer was an unwarranted presumption. Mr. Norn's said that it had been pri vately stated that the state treasurer would be controlled in his course by the opinion of the attorney geueral. He pro posed a remedy in this respect in the shape of a bill. Mr. Craig favored the resolution of Mr. Goideu as a false impression may have been circulated throughout the state, The whole subject was indefinitely post poned. m ATII ON GAKF1EL.U. ' Lenger the ISeyisu Knthnaiastlc Man, Hut Standing Aloof in the Celd Supremacy of 1'ewer. Garfield's character has picked up in public curiosity considerably since he be came president The severe duties aud responsibilities imposed upon him, togeth er with the ciiticisms upon his mild na ture during the campaign, have apparent ly brought him into the presidency with the less of most of his boyish manners. He no longer slaps people en the back, or puts his arm around them and pulls them toward him ; and such is hu man nature that they regard him as a greater man in consequence. Thackeray describes "Old Cel. Ncwceme," after his son grew up, hearing loud laughter in his son's room, and going up te have seme of it ; but as seen as he enters the boys all shut up and leek grave. That is the pen alty of being president. The smile of ver dant years has passed from the magistrate and he is alone in cold supremacy of power. An old newspaper writer, celebrated for his crabbed aud rather intolerant views of public men, said te me, ''This fellow Gar field is a mighty cunning chap. He has had this presidency en his mind for ten or fifteen years past. That accounts for his apparent want of pluck new and then. He was just following second after the big leaders, and avoiding the antagonisms that Blame and Conkling and Morten were getting into. I new remember," contin ued this gentleman, "hew Garfield behaved when Blaiue made his big speech en Ander- senville in reply te Ben Hill. It was a speech that just brought Blaine out of the presidency. Net long before that Blaine had bcen the leader en the fleer of Con gress and had objected te tue ferce bill, which the carpet baggers all wanted passed. He lest caste by fighting that bill with Radicals ; aud in the Anderseuville speech, after he get te the Senate, he com pletely recovered that Radical caste. Of course Blaiue w is very much hated for it from the Southern and Democratic sides. New, what did Garfield de? They tell me that the whole of that night that cunning rascal sat up, studied out the facts te come in second te Blaine en the same side, and when he made his speech it was altogether a mere accomplished and perfect effort than Blaine's. Blaine then went en and made the fight for the presi dency, and get beaten. He made it again with the same result. Right behind him was Garfield, the next oxpenont of con gressional ability." "Well," said I te this person, "de you net regard Garfield as having worked hard for his promotion?" "Oh yes." said my crusty friend: "and te be honest about it, he is about ene of the finest exemplifications of hard work and cultivation in our public life, ne has been a close student in finance, commerce, and the institutions of the country, and has had a large power in making the laws for the last fifteen years ; and then he has done what nobody else has been able te de well in Congress go outside and ad- dress the colleges and learned societies. That is one reason whv the country, in its younger and mere critical relation, has accepted his cabinet witn sucn unammin ity. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. THE DELWEKY Uf TOBACCO. Anether Ills Day Additional Hales Ke ported. Mere tobacco is delivered at the ware houses in this city en Saturday than any ether day in the week, and te day has been no exception te the rule. As early as 11 o'clock last night long lines of heavily laden wagons, filled with haled leaf and wrapped closely in quilts, blankets, wagon covers, tent-llies, canvas, and even shawls and carpets, could be seen entering the city from all directions, and they con tinued te arrive pretty nearly all "night and take up position as near the ware houses at which the goods were te be de livered as they conveniently could. About daybreak the unloading commenced and was ceutiuued all forenoon without inter ruption. The receipts at the warehouses averaged from 30,000 te ever 100,000 pounds respectively. The greatest throng was in the vicinity of Tobacco ave nue and Walnut streets, the . Steinraan warehouses, North Market street, Frey fc Weidler's, en Grant street, Fatman & Ce.'s en Market street, and the Baumgardner warehouses en Lemen street. There was great activity, however, at many ether points. The total amount delivered te day was perhaps net less than 1,000,000 pounds. During the week Skilcs & Frey received about 100,000 pounds, yesterday Harry Moere received seme 50,000, and several ether packers that de net cenfine their re ception of goods te Saturday received large quantities. It is impossible te tell what proportion of the local crop has been bought and what proportion delivered. It is said, by packers who have secured pretty near all they want that the cream of the crop has been secured, and that they have in their ware-houses as fiue leaf as was ever grown in Pennsylvania. We were shown many samples today that are certainly very fine, and are cheap at the prices paid, ranging from 20 te 30 cents. These lucky packers say that their competitors who came into the field later, and who are paying from 12 te 18 cents for the best they cau fiud, are really paying mere for their tobacco, as per quality, than the early purchasers.
