LANCASTER DAILY INTELLieCER, WDNE3DAY..MAX41 18S1. . lancastcr intelligencer. WEDNESDAY BVBNINO, MAY 11, 1881. TIllIus er Eqaal Degree. The New Yerk Hermld comes te the front as a vehement eian of the Cenk, ling side in the Republican feud. It opens out te-day. with a slashing edito rial against the " angry boy " as it styles Garfield, and against Blaine whom it denounces as a man " without gratitude, without convictions? without friend ships, without shame," who has risen te consequence net" by lefty courage and stately eloquence like Conkling, nor by the prestige of an illustrious name like Grant, but by impudent audacity." A page of the same paper is filled with what purports te be a contribution from an " occasional correspondent " at Washington, that correspondent being manifestly some one writing at the dic tation of Senater Conkling. It assumes te describe " the story of the censulta tiens, conferences, conspiracy and in trigues that have led up te this singular situation" which exhibits " the great political duel new being fought out in the United States between Senater Conkling en the one side and Senater Blaine en the ether." " Ostensibly" says Senater Conkling's chronicle, "the president is the antagonist of the great Xew Yerk senator," but it declares him te be " a small and pitiable" figure in the contest, and proceeds te uncover his conduct during and since the presi dential campaign, and te disclose his unredeemed premises, his dickeringsand incessant wriggling. " The Wriggler" is the title of the article, and it certainly does net convey an elevated opinion of Garfield as an honest, straight-forward man. But in this there is nothing very new. Fresh facts are related by one cognizant of inside history, but these facts de net give a new impression of Garfield's'char acter, which was well known te all in telligent observers of his ceurse during his many years of public life. Conkling knew what Garfield was was when he determined at the eleventh hour te come into his support and give t him that help which he new declares en titled his faction of the Republican party te three-fourths of the credit of his election. He thoroughly knew that net Garfield, but a stronger man who would get possession of him. would direct his administration. His hope was that he would wield this power. The stalwarts long steed sul lenly by and let the election go. They sought thus te bring Garfield te terms. They let time pass en uutil it be came apparent te the Republican candi date that he would be beaten if the party was net united. They brought him down en his knees te them. Conk ling sas's that it was through Vice Presi dent Arthur that an agreement was reached. Premises from Menter were abundant. Garfield was sick and saintly. He never would be bad te the Grant aud Conkling people if they would come in and help him through. Hands were struck ever the alliance. There can be no reasonable doubt that the situation wasjustasit is declared te have been, and that the Republican forces were united, for a combined effort, by the be lief of the stalwarts that they would be amply paid for the victory which it was conceded was theirs te give or take away. Tiie stalwart Morten was made treasurer of the combined forces aud was premised in recompense his choice of the missions te France and England, the control of a profitable syndicate for funding government bends, or the sec retaryship of the treasury : and ether like premises were profusely made. Gaifield covered himself all ever with pledges in his desperate strait : and this Hti-ehl article aptly contrasts his con duct with that of Hancock, who at the same hour replied te these who sought premises of office in consideration of contributions te the campaign, that he would make no pledges and would go into the highest office in the land, if lie was elected, free and untrainelled. This story of Conkling about Gar field's duplicity, we say. is un doubtedly essentially true: but hew does it help Conkling? If Gaifield dickered, lie dickered tee. The differ, ence i that Garfield get his goods and the stalwai ts were cheated out of their premised reward. They are angiy ac cordingly. They are entitled te be angry, but they don't mend their affairs by ex posing the cause of it. Always, when men find themselves cheated in a disie putable compact, it is geed policy te pocket their chagrin, endure their dis appointment and premivi themselves te be wiser next time. Conkling and JJIame played for the .sanies stakes and Conkling lest the game. Xew he wants te make trouble for his .successful competitor, as men naturally but net wisely de. Conkling thought that he would manage Garfield's admin istration because he had demonstrated te him that but for the aid he gave him he surely would have been defeated. If he had thought Blaine would gel in ahead of him he would have let his party be defeated. -That is dear from his present course, which surely invites its destruction. Ne doubt remains that a war te the knife impends in the Repub lican party, and one which it cannot survive, whoever of its leaders wins in the duel te which Conkling in sists upon calling Blaine. The resnon resnen sibility is Conkling's; he is the challenger ; he is the injured party, the victim. He has been deceived and cheated. He thirsts for revenge. He fights for his personal consequence, and lets his party go te the dogs. There is no virtue in the contest, which is simply a question of personal domination betwen a pair of rascals of equal vileness and equal im pudence in their .audacious efforts te swell their importance. What does Northampton county want with an additional judge, and what does it want with Heward Reeder in the newly created office ? The judge ship seems te have been created by a Re publican Legislature that he might be appointed te it by a Republican governor. But as Northampton is a Democratic county it would be inter esting; te knew hew it is proposed te keep him where he is put. We have a report from Northampton that the law yers of all parties there signed a petition for his appointment. We' de these things ever here, tee, and for poorer sticks for judges than Heward Seeder; and he is by no means an imposing judi cial figure. But as Reeder was net en the bench, he did net have the North ampton Democratic lawyers by the pair, and we cannot imagine why they should want te boost him. What was the bar gain ? And it has come te this that a lordly metropolitan newspaper like the New Yerk Times is detected cribbing an edi torial from Appleton's Cyclepaedia. ?KBbpNAli. Ge it, GuiFlfeLD.

A woman en her way te early mass was the first te sec him. Although alive he was unable te speak, and the pelice took him te the Lackawanna hospital, where he died. Nobody knows who he is or hew he came te his dca:h, although the testimony given before the jury te-day as te the nature of his wounds gees te show thathu was foully dealt with. His pock ets were empty, and nothing was found en his person te furnish a clue te his identifi cation. Hindoes Adejitinj; Christianity. Londen Time-. The followers of Keshub Chuudcr Sen have made another step in advance. On Sunday, the 0th of March, the sacrament was administcied in the spirit of the early chinch, though in a form diffciing from that adopted in Ilurepc. The Hindoe Apostles of Christ, as they call themselves, gathered after piaycrin the dinner hall, and sat upon the lloer en the bare ground. Rice was brought in en a silver plate and water in a goblet. The minister then lead the words from I. nke xxii., "And he took the bread ami gave thanks," &e. A prayer was then elleied asking a blessing or. the sacramen tal lice aud water: "Touch this rice and this water, O Hely Sphit, and turn their giess mat eiial substance into sanctifying spiiiliial forces, that they may upon oulor eulor ouler ing our system be assimilated te it as the Ih-hh and bleed or all the saints in Christ Ji-hih.

AT HARRISBOKO. xfte Jt ntwi' Bmmw still In the Hebs at Harrisburg, Mr. Law rose te personal statement, and asked in justice te himself that as only a portion of his remarks at the academy had been quoted in the attack upon him Monday night the whole of it should be new pub lished in the Legislative Recerd. Te this request there was but one objection, that of Mr. Chadwick, who suggested that the publication should be at the gentleman's own expense. It was, however, under stood that the required consent was given. Mr. Law -then explained that he hadn't replied en Monday evening te attacks made upon him simply because it was in expedient, te take up the time aud thus risk the chances of getting up the tax bill. He bad no desire te injure any one and had been se moderate that he had net sup posed that even the speaker would have objected. It had been his solemn duty te tell his constituents and the people of Philadelphia the real state of the case, and he had net .a single word te retract. Every word he had said had been the sim ple and honest truth, and he was prepared te stand by it. Mr. Davis, of Ferest, took exception te the expression that Mr. Law had used iu reference te some of the countrymen, that they were "roosters of the dunghill breed," te which Mr. Law explained that he had simply divided the country op ponents of the bill into three classes, viz : These who had been annoyed by news papers ; these who were strict partisans and thought that Donohugh was honest, and these who were "roosters." The gentleman from Ferest could take his choice of the classes. Te this Mr. Davis replied that the course of the gentleman had bceu offen sive and in bad taste. Mr. Wolfe also quoted the remarks he had made at the academy, aud denied that he had attacked any member by name. Mr. Seudcr "Did you net say that you 'would miss Seudcr' in future sessions ?" Mr. Wolfe "I did." Mr. Souder " What did you mean by that ? Don't you intend te ceme back ?" Mr. Wolfe "Certainly; but I didn't think you would." Mr. Souder "Yes, sir, I will be heic." Mr. Wolfe said that while he had ab stained, as a matter of choice, from men tioning names, he did net thereby intend te reflect en any of his associates en the stage, who had thought proper te pursue another course. He had net been iu the same position as Mr. Law, who, having been invited te give the true state of the case in his own city, and by his own pee ple, had been warranted in plain speak ing. Mr. Billingslcy moved te fix a special session for half-past two o'clock iu the afternoon te consider the legislative appor tionment bill. This gav! rise te an animated running debate between Mr. Fauuce for the Deme erats and Mr. Billingsley for the Republi cans, in which allusion was made as te the manner in which the bill had been prepar ed. It became apparent thac the bulk of it had emanated from a sub-committee of three of whom Yargcr and McClecry had been a majority. Mr. Billingsley charged Mr. Faunce with having been intentionally absent from the subcommittee, te which Mr. Faunce re plied that it was untrue, and there had really never been any formal meeting called of such sub-committee. This was subsequently acknowledged by Mr. Yar gcr, who said that Mr. Faunce's absence or presence would have made no differ ence anyhow, and he wouldn't have con sented te the bill, which was favored by himself and McClecry, who were the ma jority. On the first division of the question, viz., fixing a special session, there was a mixed political vote. . The ayes wcre 104 and the nays 70. In cluded in the 104 wcre numerous Demo crats who did net desire te be placed in the position of refusing te consider the ap portionment bill. Mr. Souder called the previous question, but the Heuse almost immediately refused by G6 ayes te 100 nays, te put the main question. Sixty-one of the nays were Dem ocrats. Mr. Graham, avowing his purpose was te get en with regular business, new moved te lay the whole subject en the table. This was lest by GS ayes te 105 nees, 'the question then recurred en the second division of the original preposition viz. : Shall the apportionment bill be made the special order ler the afternoon session already fixed'.' This preposition being subject te amendment. Mr. Wolfe jumped up and moved that the delinquent tax ein, no. OUU, be also considered at the same time. Simultaneously Mr. Wolfe called the previous question. This brought out Messrs. Myers, Rice, Graham aud ethers, who contended fiercely that it was net within Mr. Wolfe's power te make two motions at tiic same time. The speaker, however, did net think that there were two separate motions. The amendment te add the delinquent tax bill was then agiccd te by 108 ayes te G4 nees. and the question recurred en the proposi preposi tion as a whole, viz., te consider both the apportionment ami the delinquent tax bills at the special session. This required a two-thirds vote. It was lest by 107 ayes te GO nees, and thus ended another attempt te consider the delinquent tax bill. Tin: OTIIKK SI IH-J. Ity tlie Kcitubllcnn Candidates fur or the Senute. Secretary The explanation of Goneral Brady's or gan, the National llcpubltcan, edited by Gcerge Gerham, the Republican candidate for secretary of the Senate, touching the Garfield letter te Hubbell, is this : " General Garfield was a member el Con gress when the star route investigation took place in 18S0, and was fully cognizant of all that has recently been paraded by Dotcctive Woodward and his subeidiuatcs of the postellio department as cause for Brady's removal. His confidence in Brady's Integrity, and of the proper and honest management of the star loute ser vice, is abundantly proven by his letter in reply te Chairman Ilubbell, of August last, llubbell had asked Brady te solicit sub scriptiens. The latter declined, unless ad vised te de se by President Hayes. This advice was seuglit for and refused. Brady was asked if General Garfield's ap proval would overcomo the obstacle. He assented. Hubbell wrete Garfield en the subject. Hew, then, could Garfield be ig nerant, ei wnat was wanted? He knew that mail contractors wero the only per sons with whom Bradv bad anv nuleeil contact.

This association was organized iu this city and, alas ! hew sad te contemplate, how hew few of the cherished old familiar faces of that day are present here new. We miss the cordial, friendly grasp, and genial, pleasant faces of Humes, Muhlenberg. Burrewcs, Hays, Emersen, Worthingteu, Ceatcs, Norris, Parrish, Hicstcr, Jacksen, Mutter, Duffield, Carpenter (of Pettsvillc), Kcrfoet, Carsen, Richards, Mayberry, Raub, Husten, Cendie and scores of ethers who " have passed the beurne, " who we were formerly se delighted te meet, and upon whose voices, prcgnaut with weids of wisdom and instruction, we were se pleased te hearken. But, in the language of the poet, " Jlersjunuu vide " " Death is the gate te life eternal The entrance te immortal life." Se that we may console ourselves by the reflection that "our less has been their gain." We may claim for Lancaster, its being the largest, as well as the eldest iulaud city of our rapidly growing country. It was laid out as a borough, by James Hamilton, as a lauded proprietor, getting title from the English crown, in the year 1728 ; and the adjoining territory elected into a" county in the year 172'J, ene year subsequently. The city contains a popu pepu popu 'atien bordering upon 30,000 inhabitants, whilst the surrounding country is a little empire, comprising an area of ever 020, 000 acres, or about 9C9 square miles, and peopled by about 130,000 inhabitants. It is eminently an agricultural district, its great fertility and productiveness, having long since gained for it the enviable name of the " Garden of America."' It has been long famous for its big Coucstega horses, great crops of wheat, corn, and latterly of tobacco, industrious and frugal inhabi tants, and last, but by no meaus least, its large number of pretty girls, which condi tion of things maj serve te explain te you the fact that all of our physicians aic well-to-de married men. (I myself having enjoyed that felicity, three several times) all surrounded by the boun ties, as well as the cares and con sequent responsibilities of the situa tion, which facts you can prove by calling upon them, at their homes, where you will find the latch-string hang ing freclj- out aud all most delighted te meet and welcome you. But I will net longer tire your patience with these crude and hastily conceived sentiments, but in their name, aud that of their families, wish you a hearty, sincere and cordial wel come te their homes. Dr. Carpenter, from the committee of arrangements, also icad the pregramme agreed upon for the convention, and rules relative te the reading of papers and de bates.

Dr. Sutten proposed an amendment te the constitution of the society -te the effect that everv member of a county se ciety in geed standing shall be a member of the State society aud a delegate te the state convention. Dr. Sutten advocated the amendment at some length and thought the meagre attendance at the con vention te-day was a strong argument iu favor of its adoption. Each county se-' cicty should constitute a section of the state society. The amendment lies ever until next year under the rules. Dr. Yarian, who had been appointed as a delegate te the Connecticut medical con vention,, reported that he had gene en but failed te find any such association.

Dr. Talbot Cham bers, senior pastor of the (Dutch) Re formed chinch, Xew Yerk city, the picacher of the occasion. He is a learned divine of th.U body, aud his iuvitatien te and accept nice of the position he filled se ably last evening are ftiithcr evidences of the inci easing affiliation of the two main bodies of the Reformed faith. The tct of his discourse was the words fiem St. James iv., 12 : "There is one lawgiver who is able te save anil te de stroy." The preacher described one the most painful signs of the times te be the weakening of the held en men's minds of the doctrine of future ictributieu net evidenced by the alterations of creeds, butbyocL.ibien.il j-oiniens, books, articles and the action of local ecclesiastical bodies. The opinie-! gains ground that there is no ctcinal sin. and that all arc somehow, sometime saved ; that there is no endless retribution and that the pains of the futuie .ne collective net eter nal. The prevailing sympathy with the efi'eudei is a misfortune due te the weakened conception of the evil of sin. This state of feeling is no doubt the transition te something better. But men have lest their conception of the law of Ged. I Ii - character, as a ruler, has been fei gotten in the idea of His Fatherhood, as though heie could be a father or a house hold without outer. Ileuce the necessity of revolting te the woidsef the text and the idea of Ged as thu " one lawgiver." There aic ether lawgivers than Ged, but they act enK by delegate power and legis late iu pas ticular places or for particular re lations. He is the piimal source of their authority. He lays down the law and ad minister it effectually and finally, He is the lawgiver, because He is the Judge and the Ci i ..t jr. Whatever is, is owing te His liilc. i.au.s of natuie there are, without which science would be mere guess work, but Ged is the lawgiver for persons and things, heMitig supicmely in the moral sphcic and in the natural world ; audman iiiadv iu the image of his Ged carries with him the n 'eis.it y of law. lie is endowed with loaseti and conscience, and being subject ti pj-iei.s s liable te err. and he must have a i ule of action. Ged might have made a being infallible and who would .iet light upon every occasion. He did lint sj make man. nor even the angels ; but had He se made them they would jet have been a law unto themselves, and though they chose the ri'ht cv.'iy time would have been sub ject te the la.. Without law man would net be :n it nor Ged be Ged. The origin of law i. in the being of the 3Iakcr. "Her seat is in the besom of Ged,'' says Hoekir :n his majestic and eloquent con chiding ,tp istiephc. Te Kant two objects of ceaseless adoration and wonder wcre the Mai ry Iuaveus and the moral law, but while the planetary wonders and beau ties connect man with the tiiiitude of phy sical ci eat ion the moral law takes held el" his iuteiier personality and links the soul with spiutiial infinitude. Wheic then shall v.c find the law and its cMue-sinn in language? Iu the censti tutien et man's own soul, origin illy ; but this fin initiation of it having been weaken ed by v:u ions causes it is set forth in the holy sciipttucs, where, as iu the statute books of Iegislaters,thc will of the lawgiver isexptcf,sed. itscomprehcnsivcnessefscoje and piopertion is measured by the two great commands te love Ged with all power ami m length, and soul aud spirit, and one's neighbor as one's self. The " love" for Hed embraces the intensest exercise of uv cry faculty, while that for man is te be no mere nor less than for self. . Te Ged the lawgiver is required perfect obedience, absolute and complete, from the cradle te the grave. Anything short of this would be sin, and the sanc tion by Almighty Ged of sin. The stand ard of Di'- ine authority cannot be lowered te man's imperfections', else Satan would be chief of all entitled te such concession. The law is perfect in duration. Indi vidual applications of law arc te certain " idatietis . id last only while the relations last: as the institution of marriage, which is for life "ulj . The underlying principles which aic the law of Ged alone survive. They fo'lew man into eternity. They are the guid- I'm- the spiiits of the just made pei feet, and they fellow the condemned te hell te ctmfieiit them there. The law i pei feet in tendency and the effect of the application of it is te produce net tyranny but freedom. Law and Iib city are mcessanly haiiuoiiieiis. Liberty is obedience t- law which the reason, con science and the heart approve. It takes awayallth.it hindeis pregicss, and with out law there can be no fieedem. As a sequence the law of Ged must be be$t vs. Trimble.
