MONDAY BVBNINQ. APRIL 18,1881.
A Trapped Fex.
Foxes have holes, or need te have ;
mid the fox Jehn Sherman needs just
new, te be hunting for his. Mi Sher
man Is a first class 'type of the foxy or
der of men and politicians. He puts en
an appearance of great virtue, but never
theless does notoriously lie and steal.
Perhaps his thievisbness would be diffi
cult te prove te a jury under the forms
of the law ; for he has never been caught
in flagrante dtlictu. Foxes never are.
Still, everybody knows that they steal be
cause it is their nature tee ; and they have
no known honest way of getting their liv
ing and keeping fat withal. Mr Sherman
is knew(q have a very heavy purse and
nobody M4jgLbpw he honestly filled it.
He has bervpeatedly charged with
abusing his power as secretary of the
treasury te. enficlr himself; and the
New Yerk Sun, net long age, published
an account of Ids connection with the
operations of the First national bank of
New Yerk, during his term of office a
favored medium for negotiating govern
ment leans, that was grossly libelleus if
its allegations were untrue, Mr. Sher
man took no notice of the serious charges
nor has he noticed the numerous accu
sations against his integrity which have
for years appeared in the public
press. As a natural consequence
the public judgment is definitely
fixed that Mr. Sherman has acquired his
wealth in waj'sihat will net bear inves
tigation. Ne honest public officer will
ever permit such charges te be made
against him as have been freely made
against Secretary Sherman without re
quiring them te be withdrawn or sub
stantiated.
It is never surprising when an unprin
cipled man is tripped up and his dis
honesty exposed. Ne matter hew crafty
he may be, he cannot guard himself at
all points and present te the world a
consistent record. The man who is dis
honest in money matters is pretty sure te
be equally se in all his conduct. If he
steals he will lie ; and he may be expect
ed te be governed by what the existing
exigency may seem te show te be his
advantage. And as these exigencies are
always liable te change, it is reasonably
sure that in the course of time a man
who is thus animated will plainly ex
pose the dishonesty of the motives that
animate him. And Mr. Sherman, who
has been out of his office and in the Sen
ate but a few months, has thus early
made his dishonesty se conspicuous as
te have immediate occasion te hide him
self in his hole.
The Mahenc matter is the one in the
discussion of which the ex-sccretary has
come se sadly te grief. Of course with
a man se inspired there was no question
that theoalitien with Mahone, which
premised such present profit, should be
embraced : nor- that it should be done
with a virtuous air, however unvirtueus
the thing. Mr. Sherman always poses be
fore the public as an exponent of virtue,
and he could net resist the temptation of
declaring in the Senate that Mahone had
been driven into the Republican paity
by ' the logic of events, '" and that he
had never been in conference with the
Republicans en the matter and hud
"".never made any premises teus." Sen Sen
aeor Beck, however, reminded him that
Senater Mahone had declared that he
was net a Republican, but that lie was
responsible for the selection of Riddleber
ger as the Republican candidate for ser-geant-at-arras.
Senater Beck wanted te
knew hew " the logic ' which made the
repudiating rebel Riddleberger the Re
publican caucus nominee was brought te
bear, if the Republicans had never had
any conference or engagement with Ma
hone who declared himself responsible
for Riddleberger. Senater Sherman has
net found inclination te answer.
And new Senater Vest comes along
with another troublesome question. lie
wants te knew hew it comes that Sena Sena
eor Sherman new wants te take Mahone,
Riddleberger and all the Virginia Read
just ers te his besom te break up the
solid Seuth, when Secretary Sherman
eighteen months age, the Seuth being
then just as solid, notified the commis
sioner of internal revenue that one Van
Anken, a tobacco inspector in Virginia,
should be removed because he was a
' Readjuster ;" Van Anken being ac
cordingly written te by his chief that
he must go, because "readjust
ment was looked upon by think
ing men as immoral, and there
fore inconsistent with the dignity
of an official." Here is a great
difference surely between new and then ;
between the actions and sayings of the
secretary and the senator. Tlie rejected
Readjuster becomes the head of the
Sherman corner; the old ram that was
cast out for its iniquity becomes the
ewe lamb that is protected for its inno
cence. Doubtless it has happened
through " the legjc of events ; " but it
is a logic that is only all-powerful with
the thoroughly dishonest and hypocriti
cal order of men of whom Sherman is a
shining example.
Mr. C. R. Weedin, of Berwick, Lu
zerne county, has instituted a novel
mode of temperance reform. He has
made arrangements with the keepers of
saloons and hotels there by which, for" a
pecuniary compensation paid by him,they
agree te abstain from the sale of intoxi
cants. When Herace Greeley proposed
te settle the slavery question by ransom-
' ing these held in bondage,thegevernment
te pay some billions for their freedom,
he was the best abused and most ritli-
-culed man in the country. Then came
the warMd its mere billions of expense,
net te speak of the precious-lives lest
and evils engendered. Before the Ber
wick experiment at temperance reform
be laughed at, let it be given fair trial
and the cost counted.

Millions of Feet or Lumber.
All the lumber manufacturers in the

This state of affairs has been brought
about by the splendid flood which has pre
vailed in the river for three days past, and
which has brought tens of thousands of
the finest pine legs ever felled in any
forest te the booms of Leck Haven
and Williamsport. The highest point at
tained by the river was twelve and a
half feet, and it is falling se slowly
that it is scarcely below nine feet. Lum
bermen estimate that there are new two
hundred millions of feet of legs in the
boom, and that there is every prospect of
fifty milliems mere being received en this
stage of water, which will give sufficient
stock te keep all the mills running te
their utmost capacity until next Septem
ber. The Leck Haven boom is packed
solid with about forty millions and. cannot
held another leg. The stock te come te
Williamsport will reach fully three hun
dred millions, and as nearly all the great
drives will get out of the small streams
into the river en this flood there is but
little doubt that there will be another rise
seme time during the summer that will
bring the last leg te the boom.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE XiEAt.
JLecal Tobacco Market.
The report of the tobacco markets in
New Yerk and Philadelphia for the week
past will be found en our fourth page.
Contrasted with the activity which prevail
ed seme weeks age the transactions among
local growers and buyers may be said te
be dull ; aud yet there are many growers
who want te sell and many dealers who
want te buy, and who de buy when they
find leaf that suits them iu quality and
price. The difficulty appears te be that
the growers ask mere for their leaf than
the buyer thinks it is worth. The recent
lull in buying has had the effect of bring
ing te town a great many growers, each
with a few hands of tobacco under his ai m
as samples of the crop he desires te sell.
Some sales are effected in this way, but as
a rule the buyer likes te take a leek
at the whole crop before he invests
his money in it. On the whele it may
be said that first class leaf brings as high
prices as when the buying season opened,
but that it is much harder te find than
formerly. Lewor grades of leaf are net
much sought after, and are only bought at
low prices. We have heard of a let as low
as 5 cents through, another at 0 and 3.
another at Sand 3, aud ethers at net much
higher figures.
Packing at the city warehouses gees en
as vigorously as ever, aud in some of them
the stock of baled laaf is sufficiently large
te keep the men busy for several weeks
even if no fresh purchases are made.
Some of the recently packed new tobac
co has been put en the market and sold at
fair profit, it is said, though the terms are
private. We hear of ene sale of 1.000
cases by ene packer and of 300 by another.
The '79 crop is pretty well played out, aud
only one sale of about 100 eases is reported
for the past week.
Belew will be found a few sales of the
new crop sent in by correspondents.

multiplications of cases of magistrates, and

MORE EASTElt SERVICES.
A New Kltual for tbeSwedenbergians.
A full account of the services in most of

The New Cburcn.
The New Church people, or Sweden Sweden
bergians, as they arc mere generally
called, held Easter services in their Tem
pie in North Queen street. The children's
meeting commenced at 9 o'clock a. m.,
and continued until 10:30, at which

ing of anthems and the chanting of theH
Werd, was very fine. Formerly the New

observance of the holidays of the old
churches, but recently they have adopted
a new service in which special prevision
is made for the observance of Easter,

One who Fights Ills Wife and Won't Swear
Off.
Albert Barnes, better known as "Cully,"
is a resident of the Sevcnth ward, and this
week is a member of tbe grand jury,
"Cully" had considerable liquor in him
during part of last week, and it get him
into treuble. On Saturday morning after
having been out all night he went home
and demanded money of his wife, who had
saved up a small sum. She refused te give
it te him and he chased her out of bed, tore
her clothing aud in ether ways abused her.
"Cully" remained around tlie house and
finally succeeded in getting 95 with
which he started oft". His wife
went te Alderman A. F. Dennelly's
office and made complaint against him
charging him with assault and batery and
drunken and disorderly conduct. Saturday
night was set as the time for the hearing,
and "Cully" after being arrested gave
bail te that time. The facts as above
stated were developed and it was further
shown that Mrs. Barnes has been abused
upon former occasions by her husband.
Week befere last she had saved $17 with
which she intended te buy him a suit of
clothes te attend court this week. He, in
some way, get the money from
her and' spent it all for rum,
leaving his wife at home with
her child, both suffering for want of the
necessaries of life. At the hearing "Cully"
was very sorry for what he had done
and made all sorts of premises. He said
that he wanted te serve en the jury and
he told the alderman that he would pay
the costs, swear off drinking and support
his wife if she would agree te arrange tfce
suits. The alderman at first thought of
sending him te jail for 20 days, but the
wife did finally agree te settle the cases.
After they were arranged Barnes said he
would never swear off. Mrs. Barnes told
him then that he should never come near
her as she would support herself. He
seemed pleased at this and left the office in
a geed humor. This morning he pat en
the grand jury big as life, and the tax
payers may expect through investigation
of everything by a grand jury of which
" Cully " Barnes is a' member.

Tbre Mea Arreeteel In Beading fovameldt
v. Crene.
FifteM vnarsTswn. Georee GettschaU
was the' proprietor of a resort in Cedar
street, in Reading, known as "Buck ball,"
which during the war was frequented by
soldiers passing through Reading. It was
in this place that David Geed, a soldier, is
said te have met Gettecball, Samuel But
terweck and ffm. Eyler in October, 1865,
and te have get into an altercation with
them and a certain Jehn Temly, who is
still at large, and whose present residence
is unknown. Geed was badly beaten, and
the next morning his dead body was found
at a lime kilu iu the southern section of
the city, about a mile from the scene of
the previous night's affray. A coroner's
jury made a verdict thut death was caused
by suffocation by the poisonous fumes
arising from thflJsiln. The public was
satisfied with the verdict, and" thus the
case resttequietly far ever fifteen years.:
Yesterday Gottschall's wife, who is sick
and believed te be at the point of death,
make a confession that Geed was kicked
and beaten in her husband's saloon-until
life was extinct, and the body was put
into a bag and carried a mile te the place
where it was. found. Anether witness is
said te have seen four men carrying a suspicious-looking
bundle at a late heur'and
te.have seen them return seen afterward
without it.
The confession of Mrs. Gottschall has
recalled the fact that there were marks ou
Geed's face and en the heels of his shoes
as though he had been dragged en the
ground. There were also several hoi s in
his head which the coronet's jury uc the
time decided were caused by falling upon
the limestone rocks in the neighborhood
of the kiln. Jeseph Geed, a brother of
the deceased soldier, has ledged informa
tion against the above named men,
and caused their an est. Gottschall and
Butterweck, who recently embraced re
ligion, were arrested in church, causing
great exeitemeut. Butterweck is also
said te have made a confession, and it is
said that this factceming te the ears of
Gottschall's wife, worried her te such an
extent that, with death staring her in the
face, she resolved te make a clean breast of
everything. The confession made by Mrs.
Gottschall is in the hands of the district
attorney.
The three defendants are about 50 years
of age, aud the positfen they occupy in
the community, all of them being church
officers, has intensified the interest in the
case. They sent for counsel imme
diately, but the district attorney refused
te have them admitted te bail until habeas
corpus proceedings could be instituted,
which will be done.
Geed was about 40 years of are at the
time of his death. He served faithfully
through the war, was addicted te drink
ing, but net of a quarrelsome disposition.
The defendants were his immediate asso
ciates. The building in which Geed is
said te have been killed is a two-story
brick struck structure, new used as a
dwelling.
An associated press dispatch from Read
ing te day says the men had a hearing en
a habeas corpus and were discharged,
there net being enough ovidence te held
them.
THE COUNT! AUDITORS AGAIN.
Musser riles His Pretest and the Court Ap
pruTes Tbelr Bill,
Mr. Frank Musser, of the notorious
beard of county auditors, has filed in the
prothenotary's office a well composed and
legibly written document embodying at
length bis reasons for non-concurrence iu
the report of his associates, Mr. Musser,
in substance, says that the ether auditors
erroneously approved bills for $2,100
printing paid by the commissioner!, all of
which was unnecessary and for part of
which the county was uet legally liable ;
they fail te state what is due from the
sheriff for jury fees and the accounts of
that official have net been properly audit
ed ; the approbation of the treasurer
and his clerk is an unwarranted " puff ;"
the treasurer's testimony shows a balance
in his hands, net deposited, of $22,694.56,
his clerk swore that 41G.000 or $10,000 was
in the safe iu checks, drafts, &c, the dis
crepancy, is net explained ; JUusser bad
made an effort te investigate the condition
of the' treasury under the act of March 25,
1868 but was overborne by a mob of court
house officials and ene or twn members of
the bar ; Mr. Cellins had agreed with him
te re-investigate the treasurer's accounts,
but afterwards he and Curran had refused
te de se; the auditors should have
reconvened ; they should have urged leg
islation te make the offices of justice aud
alderman salaried iu Lancaster and
Columbia ; in the auditors' report
en all ether accounts Musser concurs, ex
cept that ex-Prison Treasurer Shaeffer
should be charged with $99.46. In cenclu
sien Musser repeats that the county treas
urer and his clerk ought net te have had
a " puff " and he calls en County Solicitor
Fulton te appeal from and except te the
auditors' report before its final confirma
tion. The bill of the county auditors for their
services has been filed and approved by
the court. Each ene takes $20 for audit
ing the state accounts. Besides this they
claim pay at $3 a (lav and mileage at 10
cents a mile as fellows : Musser, 36 days,
total $128 ; Curran. 36 days and 400 miles,
