The brethren Griest and Geist de net
dwell together In unity. We have com
mented upon the Bad disturbances that
thnut themselves upon the public notice
in thejnteraal affairs of the Republican
party. It is really alarming te see se
much heat exhibited in this balmy
spring weather; what will it come
te in the summer solstice? At
the present rate of increase there
won't be a grease spot left tf the
party. Combustion at a white heat
will consume every mother's son of the
politicians ; and a party without peliti.
elans is no party. We will have te sup
ply the Republican rank and file with a
fresh let of trees of Democratic growth.
We can spare them. It won't de our
garden any harm te weed out the crook
ed sticks and give them te our bereaved
neighbors. The brothers Griest and
Geist are both excellent men in their ways
when you can find out their ways their
geed ones we mean and we de net wish
the Republicans of the Old Guard te be
deprived of their labors and their cheer
ing words. But it is quite evident that
strokes of apoplexy will take them both
off in the deg days if they keep up their
present exertions te ventilate one an
other. The Inquirer comes out this week
with a broadside of editorial firing into
the Geist hulk, in which about the
mildest thing that Griest says of Geist is
that he would be a moral wreck if he
had any morals te wreck ; Geist having
previously painted Griest as a " political
wreck " and a " political beggar." The
question for casuists would be which
is the broadest appellation and therefore
the most grievous. A moral wreck is
bad, certainly; but perhaps it maybe
plausibly maintained that a political
beggar must be a moral wreck te be a
beggar. And en the ether hand there is
a fair chance for arguingHhat a political
wreck must imply moral soundness, as
immoral politicians are net the ones who
usually go te wreck.
We really de net feel able just new te
say which of the Republican organists
has done most' damage te the ether with
these missiles. Neither de we feel equal
te defending either from the aspersions
of his associate. We feel that it is a fam
ily fight in which we have no business te
interfere; but we can extend our sym
pathy te the little children of the party
whose guardian spirits are avowed te be
such as they paint each ether, and te
offer ,wheu they de one another te death,
that we will try te supply their places
with some of our own black sheep the
kind they like who are anxious te find
such a family te care for.-

What Our Senators Should De.
Republican politicians are anxious te
knew what course the Democratic sena
tors will pursue in the matter of confirm
ing the. president's nominations. It is
net difficult te see what their policy will
be if we assume, as we de, that it will
be what it should be. They will vote
for the confirmation of such men te office
as they believe te be entirely fit for the
place, and against these whom they be
lieve te be unfit or about whom they
have any doubts. This is their duty
under the accepted view of the relations
of the president and the Senate in the
matter of filling the national offices. The
doctrine has been that the president's
right of selection should net be hamper
ed with any ether condition than that he
should select fit men. He appoints ; and
therefore has the responsibility of selec
tion. The Senate confirms ; and se has
the duty of inquiring and determining
whether the appointee is fit. If he is,
the president's choice cannot properly
be rejected.
Of late years the practice has net been in
accord with this theory ; for the senators
have abused their power, te dictate te
the president whom he shall appoint.
And it has come te be considered that
appointments te office are net really ia
the hands of the president, but in the
gift of the senators of the party, who
claim these prizes as rewards for their
henchmen and as means te perpetuate
their personal domination in their
states. Garfield yielded te this practice
in giving te Senater Conkling's friends
many of the New Yerk offices; but he,
with Blaine's help, undertook te resist it
se far as te refuse te give him all of
them ; and the most valuable in its po
litical influence he gave te Conkling's
enemy.
The issue has new been joined between
the Republican president and the Re
publican senators as te which shall rule
the party and the country. Conkling's
cause is that of his brother senators en
the Republican side, and may naturally
have the sympathy of his Democratic
colleagues tee. If senators may refuse
a confirmation for any ether reason than
its unfitness, it would be proper for the
Democratic senators te refuse te vote te
confirm any Republican. They would
certainly have the same right te vote
against putting a political enemy in
office as Conkling would have ; he gets
no additional senatorial privilege be
cause his fee is of his own party ; en the
contrary his privilege te vote against
him is thereby lessened.
Garfield is right te maintain his prerog
ative. It is one that necessarily attaches
te his office, and no capable president
will surrender it. It is a great evil that
senators and representatives should be
allowed se great influence with the ad
ministration in the appointment of men
te office ; and if possible it should be for
bidden by the law.
And it appears that Congressman Har
mer has had his finger in this star route
pie. Nobody will be surprised te hear it,
as Congressman Harmer is generally
supposed te be just that kind of a man.
He had a partner in the coal business
appropriately named Black, and the con
cern seems te have gene into the postal
contract business as a sort of a
side-show te make money. In -the
United States court at Philadelphia five
suits have just been brought against
Black and several ether men, charged
with fraudulent bidding and filingfraud
ulent bends in bids for postal service te
cheat the government. Harmer is net
among the indicted, his name net being
en the papers filed. One of the defend
ants is Black's estler, another is his
bfdtber-isvlaw, while two ethers are
clerks for clerks in the eiBce of Charles
W. Matthews, a metal broker.

The movement in Bosten in favor of a
World's fair in that city in 1883 is growing

showing that the total cost of the enterprise
would net exceed $3,000,000, and business
men are confident that such an invest

He would take neither course, and was
therefore arrested en a charge of disturb

therefore, contrary te the by-laws and te a

head te a height of 160 feet above the
ground, and its dark foliage overshadowed
a space nearly 300 feet in circumference.
It was a source of profit, as well as of
pride, te the inhabitants of Sparta, for its
world-wide fame annually attracted bun

BRIDE AND SUICIDE.
A Sad
Solution at the Mystery
at the
Girard Avenue Bridge.
About seven o'clock en Thursday morn
ing a woman jumped from an alcove of the
Girard avenue bridge, in Philadelphia
A painter, who was decorating the pavil
ion at the Zoological garden steamboat
landing, a few reds away from the bridge,
named Henry Gysi, heard a splash caused
by a body striking the water, and ran di
rectly up the river bank te a point where
the water seemed freshly agitated, but
the only thing he could discover, although
he waited some time te solve the mystery
of the ominieus splash that he had
beard, was an Alpine hat, trimmed with a
bread satin band and covered by a faded
brown veil, which in a few moments came
floating te the surface. The hat was se
cured, and the mystery as te whD was its
owner was explained yesterday morning
by Mr. James Newton, of Ne. 1869 Darien
street, who identified it as belonging te his
daughter, Mary Patterson, aged twenty
three years, who left her home en Thurs
day morning and had net since been
seen by her friends. She was married en
Wednesday te a hosiery manufacturer
named Jehn Patterson, and the couple had
intended te live for the present with Mr.
Newton.
At one o'clock yesterday afternoon the
body of the unfortunate woman was found
in the coffer dam surrounding the western
abutment of the bridge, and the stricken
father went te Sedgeley te identify it. The
only reason that can be assigned -for the
yenug bride's conduct is the fact that she
was laboring under temporary aberration
of the mind, caused by peer health and
werriaient about consumption, from which
disease her sister died about two years
since. Mr. Patterson is in comfortable
circumstances, and was able and anxious
te provide his wife with a geed home.
An investigation instituted by Captain
Chasteau, of the Park Guard, has re
vealed the fact tuat the woman had been
walking through the park in the vicinity
of the beat houses about an hour previous
te the time when the painter heard the
splash. On the bridge, in an alcove or re
cess near the western approach, there
wero found scratches such as could have
been made by the nails in the heel of a
shoe, which led the officers te believe that
the woman had jumped into the river from
that point of the bridge.

What the Lackawanna Fetltleaere Mid
Afeeat ttae Oereraer an Attorney
General, and What the Leg
islators aald Akeas the
FettUeaers.
In the Heuse at HarrUburg yesterday
Mr. Bierly, of Lycoming, said that by re
quest he presented a' petition from citi
zens of Lackawauna county, asking for
the impeachment of Governer Heyt and
Attorney General Palmer, en account of
their action in reference te judicial offices
in Lackawanna cenntv.
The petition was read with sarcastic
groans. It was read as fellows :
" Your petitioners, citizens of Pennsyl
vania, and residents of the county of
Lackawanna, respectfully represent that
ihey believe that Governer Henry M.
Heyt and Attorney General H. W. Pal
mer liave been guilty of conduct in office
that carls for their impeachment and re
moval at your hands. Your petitioners
believe it te be your duty te call the said
officials before you te auswer for their
corrupt conduct in shielding Kemble and
his criminal companions irem ine pun
ishment due their grave crimes against the
liLWS
" There will be little respect for law in
this commonwealth as long as the abettors
of crime are allowed te fill the highest po
sitions in the state. The pardoning power
was net conferred en the executive. depart
ment of the commonwealth for the pur
pose of festering crime.
"Said Heyt aud Palmer have confeder
ated with, politicians te impose en the citi
zens of said Lackawanna county an uncon
stitutional judiciary. The persons who
arc actincr as iudires of said Lackawanna
county are kept in said effices by said
Heyt and Palmer in violation et tne con
stitution and in defiance of the decision of
the supreme court of the state, expressed
at the time of the granting of the man
damus by said court, directing the judges
of the eleventh judicial district te organize
the courts of the said county. Said Pal
mer, with the sanction of said Heyt, in
pursuance of certain political arrange
ments, though petitioned some months
since by about 2,500 et the citizens of said
Lackawanna county te .test through quo
warrante proceedings the right of the as
sociated judges of said county te exercise
judicial funotiens, has net vouchsafed te
notice the prayer of said petitioners.
Judges Handley and Hand are holding
their positions in said county by as illegal
a tenure as Lewis and Mdtfit, and said
Heyt and Palmer knew the fact, but they
aie determined for personal and political
reasons, that their wishes and their crea
tures shall be respectively the laws and
the fudees for the people of said Lacka
wanna county.
"The people of Lackawanna cednty
should enjoy the rights warranted by the
state constitution, and if they can be de
prived of their rights at the caprice of a
6upercillieus and intriguing attorney gen
eral, then the government in Pennsylvania
is a sham. The official conduct of these
men has been the principal cause of the
eminently bad repute that attaches te the
name of Pennsylvania among the States of
the Union te-dav and as lone as tnese men
are countenanced by your honorable body
in imposing en the people of any locality
an unconstitutional judiciary fe their own
personal ends and in pardoning great
criminals for corrupt and political consid
erations, there will net be that respect for
persons in authority that gives perman
ence aud stability te government.
' Your petitioners are ready te present
such facts te your honorable bediesas will
prove ghat said Heyt and Palmer have
used their said offices te carry out infrac
tions of the constitution and laws of the
state and te secure immunity te the viola
tors of said laws."
Immediately after the reading of the pe
tition, Mr. Ruddiman, with vigor and
earnestness, denounced it as an imperti
nent, improper and scandalous communi
cation, and moved that it be returned te
the parties by whom presented, and that
all proceedings be cxpuuged from the
records of the Heuse and from the Legisla
tire Recerd. L Applause.
This motion was seconded by two of the
members from Lackawanna county, viz :
Messrs. Hierlithy and Latouche, both of
whom declared that they had no knewledge
of the paper aud condemned it utterly.
Mr. Law, wliile he had no desire te pass
judgment in the present charge, was of
opinion that in another matter, at least
that of pardoning the riot bill culprits, the
executive officers had been deserving of
?ensure.
Mr. Souder wautcd te kuew " who were
the signers te that blackguard paper ?"
The clerk thereupon proceeded te read
the names. The signers were principally
of Celtic origin, as was apparent from the
names being largely composed of Patricks,
Michaels, etcv etc. This gave rise te
another inquiry from Mr. Souder whether
the paper had really come from Lacka
wanna county or from Ireland.
This brought forward Mr. Welsh, an
Irishman from Schuylkill county, who de
clared that, even if the namee did sound
a little Celtic, they were entitled te respect.
The Irish had come te the front when the
flag had been in danger and were just as
geed as Mr. Souder anyhow. 1 he office
seekers courted them about election time.
Mr. Ruddiman explained that while he
was net an especial defender of the state
officers, he considered that it was a duty
which a dignified body owed te itself te
reprobate such sentiments and te stigma
tize the indirect and surreptitious manner
in which the paper had been injected into
the Heuse with the censure which it de
served. Mr. Bierly defended his action.
He was a representative of the entire state
as well as of Lycoming county. The pe
titioners had a right te be heard, and it
was untrue that the petition had come hey
by surreptitious means. On the contrary,
it had been published nearly a month age
in the local papers.
Mr. Ruddiman retorted that the right of
respectful petition tnreugn proper chan
nels was one thing, while the exercise by
petitioners of abuse and low and vile slan
der was another, and quite a different
thing. The paper had net come here by
fair, candid, and open presentation, and
the gentleman could make the most of it.
The debate continued at length and
with some acerbity. Finally Mr. Ruddi
man called the previous question. This
was sustained.
The vote then was taken en a motion
made by Mr. Hackct, te refer the petition
te the committee en judiciary; tms was
lest by 51 ayes te 88 nays. The vote was
mainly partisan ; the Democrats, with
three exeptiens, voting te refer te the
committee, and the Republicans, with
seven exceptions, voting against the
reference. The vote was then taken en
Mr. Ruddiman's resolution, as fellow :
"That the paper read in the hearing of
the Heuse be considered as impertinent,
impreper and scandalous ; that it be re
turned te the parties from whom it was
presented and that all proceedings in con
nectien with the same be expunged from
the journal of this Heuse and from the
Legislative Recerd." It was adopted by
80 yeas te 52 nays. Adjourned.
Singular Accident te a Chester County Team

A Letter Den ylar That She Has Fted

The whereabouts of Mme Arabre and
M. Teurnie, of the disbanded Da Beauplan
French opera company, is still unknown.
M. deBeauplan himself is thought te be

ters -addressed te Ne. 11 West Twenty
fourth street will reach him. At that
hense and at the Gramercy Park hotel a
World reporter was informed that M. de
Beauplan was net iu. It was said that M.
de Beauplan was doing all in his power te
raise money te take the members of the
company back te Paris, and that negotia
tions had been begun te secure the Thalia
theatre or the Metropolitan music hall for
a concert te he given je. their ,aid en Son Sen
day evening,' hi which Sigper Campanini,
Mme. Gerster and ethers should take part.
The following letter from Mme. Ambre
te the editor of the Courier desEtat$ Uuit
was received Thursday morning :
" New Yerk, May 4.
"I am exceedingly astonished te read in
the newspapers the story of my flight with
M. Teurnie. It is absolutely false and I
formally brand it as a lie. I have been in
New Yerk all the time. I left the hotel
where I had been staying, it u true, and
if I de net give my new address, it is in
order te avoid the presence of the unhappy
broken-hearted people whom I can no
longer relieve. . I am conscious of haviug
done my duty te the utmost of my power,
having lest in M. de Beauplan's undertak
ing and without being in the slightest de
gree responsible, the sum of $75000, be
sides my salary for six months. In this
less I de net include that of my jewels,
which are pledged for $4,000. ,
"As te M. Teurnie, whether he left the
city aloue or net does net concern me. But
oue thing I knew that concerns me, is
that Mme. Teurnie might have taken the
trouble te be better-informed before start
ing a scandalous story, which might cost
her dear, did net M. de Beauplan and my
self entertain for her husband the high re
gard and esteem which is due te him.
" Hoping, sir, that you will extend a ta ta ta
vorable reception te this letter, I beg you
te receive the assurance of my distinguish
ed consideration.
"Emilie Ambre."
Mme. Teurnie has decided te use the
l'OOO francs scut by her husband and will
sail for Havre iu the steamer France next
Wednesday, accompanied by M. Jourden,
the first basso of the company. The
members of the company are nearly in de
spair. They have no money and have very
slight hopes of getting and.' Their salaries
unpaid amount te about $4,500, exclusive
of what is due te the leading members of
the company.
The Deserted Wife' Version.
Mme. Teurnie, the wife of the truant
Lothario, is of medium height, .stout and
with regular features that are made addi
tionally attractive by a pair of large and
expressive blue eyes which the lady well
knows hew te use. In an interview with
a reporter -sue snowed signs et
the excitement she had endured the past
few days, and her nervousness still indi
cated that she was far from -being satisfied
with the present condition' of things.
Madame Teurnie said in substance as lel-
lows : 'I have been married te Monsieur
Teurnie only for about three years. Pre
vious te this he was my very dear friend
whom I liked very much. He had always
showed me the greatest attention until he
met this woman Ambre, who, though con
siderably elder than he is, j et contrived te
threw a glamour ever him and wen his
affection from me. I first noticed this
when we were playing in New Orleans.
He seemed te make love iu the most ear
nest manner en the stage and I mentioned
it te him, but he shrugged his shoulders
and said that it was necessary te put some
realism in the part. This was net the
only thing te attract my attention.
Ambre herself used te show him various
little attentions, which convinced me that
all was net smoke. When we were travel
ing my husband was continually with
M. dcBeauplan and his wife, and
when M. deBauplan would leave the
carriage my husband always managed te
tret a little closer te Ambre. I noticed all
this and told my husband I would stand it
no longer, whereupon he told me he would
de as he pleased in spite of the devil him
self. When he reached New Yerk the
atTair became se bad that members of the
company used te remark it, and I had te
endure all their sneers and jokes. I did
net speak te him about the matter again,
but let it drift as it would till the night
before last, when the climax came. I am
going te remain in New Yerk for another
week, and then I shall sail for France and
go te my nuseand's ratuer, wne lives near
Trouville. The company hated Ambre be
cause she was se domineering and because
she influenced M. deBeauplan in his man
ner of acting with ns. If it had net been
for her everything would have sailed along
smoothly, and we would nave been play
ing te full houses iu New Yerk. But he
spoiled it all. She she is a perfest fiend
and likes trouble purely for trouble's
sake."
Te-day it is reported that Mme. Ambre
and 31. Teurnie went te Canada when they
disappeared, and in support of this theory
the following telegram, wnicn was re
ceived yesterday by Mme Jneury, a mem
ber of the company, is given :
Montreal, May 0.
Teurnie, Ambre and a single) lady em
barked irem acre yesterday rer rinrepe.
-- , Beurgeakd.
The message was written in French and
begins, " Teurnie, t Ambre et Ansel
dame," but the- members of the company
thiuk that the last two words should
be read, " une seule dame." There was,
however, a Mme. Ansel connected with
the company. Mme. Fleury and ner
friends were net inclined 4e believe in the
truth of the dispatch, as they de net
knew " Beurgeard," who ia-said by-Manager
Crofts te be the manager of the
Hetel Royal at Montreal." Others suggest
that Beurgeard is a transmitter's .mistake
for Bourgeois, aenember of the company
who has securedfan engagement at Mont
real and is already in that city.
M. de Beauplan is said te be in New
Yerk and 3L Lsabeau, the stage manager
says he knows where M. de Beaupian is,
but be refuses te impart his knowledge
te anybody. The letter from Mme. Am
bre is in licr handwriting, out tne ad
dress en the envelope is net. A member
of the company said yesterday that de
Beauplan had told him last Saturday
night that he had no money 'and that
Mm. Ambre would shortly go te Londen
te fill an engagement there and that M.
Teurnie was going te Paris.
All the members of the company have
secured shelter and some have obtained
engagements.

Every seat in the opera house was occu
pied last night, and late arrivals were
obliged te content themselves with
standing room. The Carnoress name re
tains its old-time drawing quality, and
the audience included many of the best of
our citizens. An entertainment admirable
in all respects was given, and'the Appreci
ation of the great aadieaeewas manifest
ed in repeated bursts of laughter and ap
plause. In the overture the feature of
course was the ballad of Mr. Carncross,
for whieh the audience waited in eager
expectation, and were rewarded by an ex
quisite rendition of " Twickenham
Ferry." The ballad singing of Messrs.
Fred. Walz and Carl Rudelph was
excellent also, while the comic ditties
of Hughey Dougherty and Matt Wheeler,
who filled the end chairs in capital style,
brought down the house. The finale,
''Scenes-in Our Markets," was excruciat
ingly funny, while the introductory over
ture, comprising selections from "The Pi
rates of Penzance," was capitally ex
ecuted. Neat jokes, most of them fresh,
filled out the first part very satisfactorily.
The clog tournament of Griffin & Rice,
Murehy & Morten, Carter & Carrell and
Daily & Warren, was a very fine exhibition
of dancing and posture. The Deckstaders
in(iheir7Bew act, "The Colored Letter
Carriers, " made a hit, as did the "Full
Moons," and also the "Four Innocents"
in their 'laughable sketch, "All Hellew
Eve. Mr. Mettler's imitations were clever,
as usual, while Hughey Dougherty's lec
ture en "Times as they Are" bristled
with fan. French's banjo playing, inter
sperecd with jokes and comical sayings,
evidently pleased the audience, his "Heme
Sweet Heme" with variations being par
ticularly geed. The concluding piece,
" Calmecl ; or, the fate of a Croquette, "
was better than the usual run of such
sketches, Jimmy Quinn making,-an ideal
" Sara Barnyard, " and Dougherty,
Wheeler & Ce. contributing a full share
of the fun.
Tne Fisheries.
Messrs. McCenkey & Ce., at Bald Friar
fisheries, and 3Ir. Harnlsh, at Grubb's
Bar, caught last week 1,600 shad. The
fish were shipped te Wrightsville and
Yerk, ever the Columbia and Pert Deposit
railroad, and sold at from $20 te $25 per
hundred. A number of fine bass were
also caught. Seme of them weighed four
pounds.
A Havre de Grace correspondent of the
Baltimore Herald sayB : Few persons have
any idea of the importance of the fishing
business at this, little place.-; There are
eighteen shores' and floats in operation,
sixty thousand dollars capital employed,
and one thousand men engaged in the
catching and curing of shad and .herring.
The average yearly returns areabeut 250,
000 of the former and 8,000 barrels of the
latter. In addition te this about 70,000
shad are annually caught by " gillers."
A Wilmington paper says : " Last Fri
day Jeseph H. Carver & Ce., through
their agents, Seneca & Maban, distributed
30,000 herring te the peer of Havre de
Grace. Messrs. Carver & Ce., fish the
beach en Spcsutia island, and they arc
catching daily large quantities of shad
aud herring, and from present indications
will clear this season from $10L000.te $12,
000." Harrying Miners.
The suit of Jacob Alleman and wife

TUB R1YCK TRADE.
The S"unen Over for This Water Prices
Firm.
During the past week all the rafts
which arrived at Marietta aud were un
sold have been disposed of except about
one dozen, the prices raneiug from 16 te
18 cents for oak, 16 te 10 for pine, and
0J te 10 for hemlock. Over 500 have ar
rived thus far, and tbe river has fallen se
low that it will be impossible for mere te
come down or these new here te proceed
te their destination until we have another
flood.
There is still about one-fifth as many
rafts at the head waters as have reached
the markets, but it is believed that if there
should be- another general flood net mere
than 75 or 100 would reach Marietta, as a
number of the mills between here and
Leck Haven have net yet been supplied,
believing that prices would come down.
Considering the large quantity of timber
that came down the river the largest
quantity for many years prices continued
remarkably firm, varying little if any from
these of the first rafts sold. There are
still about forty rafts lying en the shore at
this place, and a number of them will be
taken down the Tide Water canal the
timber being of oak and old, se that pilots
are afraid te tryte run them te Pert De
