LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCER TUESDAY, JUNE 21. 1881. Lancaster intelligence!:. TUESDAY EVENING, JUNEJ21, 1881. Is Whisky a CUf DrUk. Governer Tem Yeung of Ohie, is a very humble man, indeed ; a deal tee humble oramantebe,letaloneagovernor. He writes te General Grant that he is " pained te read" in tbenewspapers that Grant in an interview took " occasion te allude te me as a liar." And he declares " I loved you as a soldier, and I still admire yen as a man, and your as sertion new that I havelied about you, or I want te ' belittle' you, is both unkind and unjust te me. There is but one man in this great nation who could ever suc ceed in belittling the great soldier and statesman of whom our nation is justly proud, and that man is net your humble friend, That is very sweet in Governer Yeung. He " still admires" a man who publicly " alludes" te him as a liar, but ventures te express an opinion that such allusion is " unkind and unjust" te one who is his " humble friend" and has been his active supporter. We are bound te say that the governor is justified in consid ering Grant unkind and unjust in call ing his Iwmble friend a liar, particularly when the humble friend shows that he said nothing that was net true. It may generally be said tiiat when a man call another a liar for telling the truth, he is unjust, and net particularly kind ; but when he thus abuses a faithful friend who has spent his time and money for him, and is his friend notwithstanding he calls him a liar, and he tee, a gover nor, the case seems te reach beyond the power of language te deit justice. We can't imagine hew Gov. Yeung attained te such a sublime control of his temper and te such intensity of patience. It is net natural te the Irish character and Yeung is an Irishman in every fibre and aspiration ; particularly in his fend- ness for whisky, which he drinks like water and with as little disturbance of his equilibrium. The temperance so cieties ought te devise some way of get ting Gov. Yeung away from public ob servation, for lie does net illustrate the baautie of temperance and its close al liance with Christianity. When se great a toper shows himself te be se brilliant a practiser of the Christian precept te love these that revile you, there is room for the query as te whether it is net really the whisky that produces this marked composure of temperament. It doesn't generally act in that way, it is true ; and may be it is only when taken in large quantities, and all the time, sis the governor of Ohie takes his, that its virtue is duly exhibited. If a barrel of whisky per week in fifteen minute doses through Mm day and night will induce an Irishman te turn his left cheek te the stniter of his right, and te declare te the man who calls him a liar that he is still his admirer and humble friend, we trust that the editor of the Philadelphia Press will be induced te try the prescription. Congressman Beltz Beltz Beltz hoever calls Mr. Smith a liar and Mr. Smith does net have anything better at hand te say than that Congressman Beltzhoover. is another. The congress man has the best of the issue, since lie proves by the witnesses of the Press that what it has said of him is net true ; and there is therefore this variance from the case of Grant and Yeung, wherein Yeung showed Graut te be the liar. The editor of the Prcs does net have the same provocation as Gov. Yeung, seeing that he is net unjustly called a liar; aud perhaps Gov. Yeung's pre scription won't work in this compara tively mild case of injury. We should 'like, however, te see it tried, Just te be satisfactorily assured that it is only when a man is incorrectly called a liar that the consumption of a liberal quantity of whisky will serve te make him as cool as a cucumber under the provocation. If Congressman Smith, who is called a liar for telling the truth, willjcensume a bar rel or two with Editor Smith, who is called a liar for lieing, the efficiency of the spiritual influence will lie very satis factorily tested. . It is by no means a new idea that whisky is cooling ; it is only in this case a new application of an old notiem A reporter of the Memphis Appeal de clares in the issue of that paper of June 19th, that an attache of the court house in that sun-stricken city said te him during his perspiring search after items, " Yeu fellows have a false idea of keep ing cool. Yeu drink ice water te keep cool inside while outside you are very het. This is wrong. Yeu should warm your inside te correspond with'yeur out side. Yeu should dnnk a little whisky daily during the heated term." And Governer Tem Yeung's refreshing cool ness makes us suspect that there may be something in this advice. Perchance there is tee much ice water consumed in the Press office ; for really it was tee bad in it te accuse Congressman Beltz hoover of lobbying atHarrisburg, giving its witnesses, and then te call him a liar when its witnesses declared that he had done no such thing. TnE graphic picture of politics in Lan caster county, drawn for and printed in the New Yerk Sun, which we reprint to day, is true te the facts, as no one cog nizant of them will venture te deny. Little that is therein stated has net been published in the Intelligencer, and much of it has been admitted and charged by the organs of the party which is mostly responsible for it. But only when the facts are brought together in this concise yet comprehensive form is the hidceusness of the situation fairly depicted, and may it be fully realized by these who share its shame. That this eancereus growth is net a mushroom is traced in the Sun's sketch, but hew it has fattened and strengthened under the Crawford ieunty system, as new manipulated, is also clearly told. What remedy for it the Lacdis bill will afford remains te be tested. The law is severe and far reach ing enough. But the trouble heretofore has been net for the lack of law, but for the want of its enforcement ; and hew . often this has miscarried in the court itself is the saddest reflection of the past and the most unpromising omen for the future. Already we believe the supreme court has supplied nine reversals of the courts of this county, showing plainly that its occupation is net yet gene. The list, tee, from Lancaster this terra was rather short. Probably these who did net take writs of error new wish they had, for between" the uncertain lower and uncertain upper courts nothing is se likely as their disagreement. BAXDTIXG EPITHETS. A CeBsretsnum and aa Editor In Arms. Congressman Beltzhoover, whom the Philadelphia Press charged with attempt ing te influence the vote of the members of tbe Legislature en the insurance bill, sends te thePtbe statement of the two senators and five of the representatives of his district ; declaring that he had said nothing te them en the subject of the bill. One of the remaining representatives of. his district was absent from the Heuse during the passage of the bill en account of sickness ; and the ether two, though net heard from, the Press is confidently invited te interview en the subject. Mr. Beltzhoover adds his own emphatic denial of any interference of any kind en his part in the matter of the insurance bill, and concludes as iollews : When you charged me in your paper with lobbying against the insurance bill, and reiterated the charge after my denial, you lied wilfully, maliciously and deliber ately. Yeu lied like every common mountebank lies in plying his trade te make a personal, petty, selfish point. Te verify this I challange you te sue me for libel, and I hereby waive all technicalities as te whether calling you a liar in this un ambiguous language would be libelous. If you convict me 01 llUCl in calling you a wilful, malicious and vulgar liar I will re sign my seat in Congress. If you de net sue, or sueing, fail te convict, you should step down aud out of one of the most hon orable and responsible callings amaic men. Very truly, etc., F. E. Bkltzuoeveh. The editor of the Press in response de nies te retract its charge, notwithstanding that Mr. McCachau and Mr. Rhoads, two of the legislators whom it put forward as witness of its charge, certify that they have no kuowlcdge of it ; because it al leges that they both told its reporter pre viously that Mr. Beltzhoover wa3 lobby ing against the bill. Under its showing these legislators have told contradictory stories ; which would seem, at least, te nullify their testimony in the matter aud leave Mr. Boltzhoever's denial unchal lenged. The editor winds up as fellows : We de net care te bandy epithets, but, in view of his own position, his mock chal lenge te a libel suit is ludicrous. Upen his own reasoning why deesu'U he bring suit against the Press? Fer nearly a year he has been stamped as a convicted liar, and the offence for -which he is arraigned in this case is in keeping with the brazen falsehood by which he forfeited all man hood and steed gibbeted before the whole land. We have dene6ur part toward put ting the brand en him, but he lias by re fusing tiie very test which he himself pro poses done still mere te fix it iuell'aceably upon his brew. The disinclination of the Press te bandy epithets is net very conspicuously illus trated in this paragraph manifestly ; but there is room for question as te whether it correctly appreciates who, under tbe case as it stands, is " stamped as a con victed liar," "arraigned for brazen false hood," ." gibbeted before the land " with " a brand " put " uneifaceably upon his brew " On the libel question honors aic easy ; neither party ardently embraces the epsn opportunity. MINOR TOPICS. This is the precise period of the year when the ailanthus leeks its best and smells its worst. The " Old Bible " was geed enough for Rev. Dr. Henry W. Bellows se he told his congregation iu New Yerk en Sunday. Sleep en ; thy long repeac is sweet, Tender anil cool tlie grassy soil, O traveler ! stay thy hurrying tout : Step softly here" IIeret in Joil." Frem the Gcrni'tn. Depew came within sight of success yesterday, the balloting being se light that a very few mere votes would have secured his election. Indeed it was afterwards as certained that had it been practicable te take two mere ballets Depew would have had the necessary majority, lint by a coalition between the Democrats and the Conkling men tbe meeting was adjourned. Tiieue has been discovered at Saratoge a new spring which is admitted te be vastly superior te all these previously located. We can oflset that by a brand new summer of a type notoriously inferior te all that have preceded it in the memory of the present generation. Alternations of frosts in the month of June afford mere variety than satisfaction. "It's all d fine te talk about the ad ministration," said a dismayed lobbyist te-day, "but the president of the United States can't pardon a man out of our state prison." The World, whilst regretting the pio pie fanity of the remark, is constrained te admit that it serves te show the difficulties which beset the administration in its earn est efforts te purify the politics- of New Yerk. "Gen. BnxDYsays the one "ring" among the star route contractors was te aid and secure Garfield's election, and he says : "When these gentlemen of the cabinet get their case into court they will succeed in proving it. The ring was - organized for thopurpeso of raising money te aid in the election, and it had no ether object or aim. A similar conspiracy existed in every ether department. Almest every employee of the government contributed money te that end. If contributions by the contractors were an evidence that they were paid tee much, then the same rule should apply te ether employees. " The scholar en the Philadelphia Recerd informs an ignorant set of educated pao pae ple that " It has proven te be" is incor rectly used by many writers who ought te knew that the proper phrase is " it has proved te be." " He has shown a dispesi tien" is wrongly employed for "he has showed," etc. "The wind has blown hard all day" is likewise ungramraatical ; "Mewed" is the form of the verb that should be used, and net "blown." Per 83ns -who have had little or no schooling generally get these particular expressions aud similar ones right. "Educated " folks should step setting examples of false syn tax. Ocn Uncle Tilden is a wise man. Says the Chicago Timet: "Happy, pastoral Sam'I J. ! Months age the shrewd old man predicted that President Garfield would have a bitter time of it with mem bers of 4iis party, and new, while the threes of strife are visible and the air is full of meaning for the Republican dying and the Republican dead, the calm, placid sage of Greystone is buying in fancy Guernseys at thousands a head. Mr. Til den is crowning his youth of labor with an age of ease, and is heartily congratulat ing himself, mayhap, that he isn't an effi cer of the ship of state." Several superstitious persons iu Que bec "sat up all Saturday night awaiting the anticipated ending of the world," and many ethers were much frightened by a slight shock of earthquake en Sunday morning. That a number of per sons should have sat up all night se that the advent of the day of judgment should net take them unawares or unpre pared, shows that even in this material age there is still room for such supersti tious faith as that by which Christendom was stirred te its centre nearly nine hun dred years age. Yet if the Canadian en thusiasts had duly consulted their Bible, they would have seen it therein set down that of that day aud that hour knowethne man, nor any angel either, aud they might have spared themselves a foolish and su perflneus vigil. The New Yerk Sun is of the mind that we have tee many colleges. " The rapid increase in the number of colleges in the United States has net been accompanied by a proportionate increase iu the total of young men under collegiate instruction. The old and great colleges like Harvard and Yale have many mere students, but the new institutions canuet dram up enough te fill their benches, in nine cases out of ten. Colleges have multiplied fast, while the total number of scholars are only slowly advanced. We suftbr from tee niauy colleges, tee much flimsy colle giate instruction, and tee much mistaken zeal in driving young men unfit for their training into the 3Gi schools which under take te provide a liberal education, se called. What we need rather is special technical instruction which will enable boys te make a practical stait in lire." PERSONAL.

Last winter twenty-one undeveloped silver mines in New Mexico were purchased by Pepe Beb, General HalbertE. Paine, Navy Paymaster Stevenson, Colonel Grafton, and C. P. Farrell, a brother-in-law of Ingersoll. Gillette, who developed tbe wonderful Comstock lode, was sent out te work the property, and he reports an assay of $20, 000 per ten. Four of the mines have shown wonderful richness. Mr. Ed. C. IvNtenT, the noted sugar re- fiuer, and Mr. Moere, of the liquor deal ing firm of Gibsen, Sen & Ce., of Phila delphia, were recently engaged in conver sation Mr. Knight related that his net in come for the past year piled .up te the handsome sum of $300,000. Te this Mr. Moere replied in congratulatory terms, but said he could see Mr. K. and go $113, 009 better thus making his return feet up the still mere sublime sum'ef $413,000. The last mentioned pile was only Mr. Moere's share of that firms net receipts and it is safe te fix the total income of the firm for that year at one million dollars. The Dobsen Brethers, are known for their carpets, blankets, etc., all the world ever. Last year this firm's income also netted $1,000,000. Gen. Walwcr, superintendent of the census, has received a doleful letter from an unmarried lady from one of the South ern States. She said her lever left her fifteen years age, taking with him, as a lean from her, a few hundred dollars that her uncle had left her. She gave the name of her lever as also her own and said her lever possibly might be dead. She had certainly net heard from- him since he went away, although she had taken great trouble te find out his where abouts. She had been waiting for the names of the census te be published, but she was getting tired of waiting. There fore she begged that General Walker would leek ever the names and tell her where her truant lever could be found; or if he was dead te tell her where he was buried. She enclosed a stamp.

Correspondence of the Istklliezscsr. New Berlix, Union County, Pa. ) June 15, 1831. J The last few days have been somewhat ofagalatime at New Berlin, Pa. The crowd that thronged this beautiful and quiet village during the closing exercises at Union seminary, and the attefctivc and in telligent audiences that assembled.te wit ness the final entertainments of the schol astic year 1880-1, gave evidence of the in terest which the people of this communi ty, for miles around, feel in the welfare of this old institution of learning. The weather throughout was very plea sant with the exception of one evening. The heavy rains en the 8th and 9th iust. cooled and refreshed the atmosphere which mad it the mere pleasant. The first entertainment was that of the Excelsior literary society, held en Friday evening June 11th. The weather was very inclement, yet the spacious seminary chapel was filled by an audience that ap preciated highly the following efforts of this band of young literary workers. The pregramme consisted of 1st, Ad dress of Welcome ; 2d, First ex-Literaiy Gem ; 3d, A Recitation ; 4th, Second Liter ary Gem ; 5th, Prophecy ; Gtb, Oration An age of Progress ; 7th, A Medley. It was a nicely arranged pregramme and well delivered if enecan believe the ex pressions from the people. The old chip basket was laid aside, and instead of the old routine of similar proceedings, year after year, there was some change which was very arceptable, giving mere variety. On Saturday evening, June 11th, was held the entertainment of the Neocesmian literary society. Again was the seminary chapel thronged by an interesting audience, and apleasant evening it was, just cool enough, just warm enough, just dark enough, just moonlight enough te be beau tiful weather. Fisrt Orat'eu Mental and Meral Disci pline ; 2nd, Firs$ Neocesmian Literary Journal ; 3rd, Select Reading ; 4th, Second Neocesmian Literary Journal ; 5th, Recita tion ; 6th, Third Neocesmian Journal, was the pregramme. The exercises were well arranged and conducted. The society still lives aud deserves credit for its work. Sunday evening, a pleasant evening, brought a great multitude into the fine large Evangelical church te hear Rev. Dr. O. L. Sayler, of Rothsville, Pa., fermeily of Lancaster, deliver his earnest, consider ate sermon te the students. The minister spoke en Matthew xxi, 21, the 'firmness of faith which we should have in Christ, and the power of that faith. Jack's Mountain te the west of here, bold and strong looking made for him a geed illus tration. Monday evening, June 18, the Rev. P. W. Raidabaugh, of Yerk, delivered his solid and excellent lecture, "Sanctity of Teil," before the literary societies. The seats and platform having been arranged en the campus, the lecture was delivered in the open air, aud well it was, or net half of the people present could have heard this literary ticat. The lecturer was surprised by a hand some student's lamp from the Exeelsieis, and a beautiful silver cake-basket from the Neocesmians. Tuesday evening, June 14lh, was com cem menccmcut proper. Orations and essays from students made up the pregramme. Te be sure, they all were goeo. Who ever did or didn't hear otherwise ? But they deserve credit for their nice, geed productions and delivery fiem such young, active minds. They are premising and if by carefulness they will cultivate the soil of which they are the rulers who knows but in 1006 there may be one or mere of this number called great. Prophecy, though humau,sometimcs is fulfilled. Four young men graduated from this institution this year.

We hava no gas works, no water works, no conveni ences at all, nothing but the Dutch canal and Nichelson pavement for which Pete Herdic charged them $735,000. If the said Pete ever comes around your city stone him out. New gentleman, our preposition ie for you te take 4 per cent, bends for your 6 per cent, beuds and ac crued interest, iu that way we can save ten te twelve thousand dollars of interest a year for a sinking fund. In closing he made a very peer mouth, begging the bondheldeis te make the reduction. The next gentleman said that wherever their citizens registered at hotels all ever the country they were called repudiators; that they did net want te be se called, but that they would pay the interest for their debt if the bend holders' would just make it a little lower ; and the bend holders at torneys said they would de it if the bends were their own. They all told the same plaintive story and said they could enter tain no ether preposition thau the one they offered, strongly intimating, if the bond holders did net accept that they would get nothing. One of thecemmittee concluded by saying that he would sooner ret iu jail than pay a cent of this indebtedness, if it was net that the bends were held by inno cent parties.and (sotto voce) the decisions of the supreme ceuit. Still they struck just the best country in the world te plead poverty. It was ascertained that about $01,000 of the bends are held in this coun ty and that $47,000 worth were represented at the meeting of which about two-thirds then and there accepted the preposition. New, what will the result be. Will the next set of ceuucilmen be as geed gentle men as the present, if net will they net have a better defense te the new bends than they have te the old ones, inasmuch as pait of the new bends will be bearing compound interest.

There is quite an average of tobacco set out this year, a majority of tLe farmers having from one te eight acre-. It would confuse an expjit te keep track of, and tell the different qualities of the tobacco by the local names that it has here. A few of them are "The McIIvaine." "Baud's Best." "The Tenney," "Heffman's Favorite." "Armstrong's Darling " and a multitude of ether names, all of which is claimed te be easily recognized at a single glance by the tobacco profesers whose wisdom in that Hue is only exceeded by their for get fulness from one year te another of what their favorite tobacco looked like. One peculiar and prominent fact in tobacco raising in this immediate neighborhood, is that a Republican has never had a whit of success yet in raising it. Queer, itn't it? They beat us raising votes here, though ; but as they reap only mortification from their success m that line and we reap greenbacks from ours, we would net cx cx change with them. The neighbors of Jehn Rehrcr assembled last Saturday and raised a fine barn for him, 40xG0 feet, the contract was taken by Wm. Hear of Lancaster county and a complete job he made of it.

A geed deal of difference of opinion is expressed among buyers regarding the quantity of loose tobacco of the crop of 1SS0 remaining i:i the bauds of the grow ers. Seme maintain that the crop has been practically lifted ; that very little re mains iu the farmers hands except lets that are held exorbitantly high or are of uudesirable quality. Several heavy buy ers, after having riddeu the county exten sively have returned te the city without making a purchase, and affirm that lets are se few and far between that it will net pay te leek for them. On the ether hand, a heavy buyer who has finished his pack ing and who would seem te have no geed reason for bearing the market, informed us a day or two age that he could, if he wanted it, buy etic hundred cases of loose tobacco in a single day's ride aud within easy distauce of Lancaster. He believed there were from 10.000 te 15,000 case-, of loose tobacco in the state, one-third or one-fourth of which was iu Lancaster cennty. A correspondent writing from the southern end of the county sends the fol lowing. Fer every unsold crop in the lower end there has been a dealer this week te see and examine them, and many have stepped ever the line into Chester county and Maryland te pick up the few scattered crops laying there : Jehn Scnsening has bought considerable in Cecil county, among them that of Reuben Alexander, of Pilet town, who is one of the largest growers of that section and who had 24 acres, for which he received 10, 5, 3.

Plants are growing nicely and hek very green, the warm sun and plenty of hoeing is bringing them out. Seiuj farmers are still setting out plants, but the mijerity are done. The acreage is smaller than last year. Seme growers have planted corn where they intended putting tobacco, owing te the low price and the long wait for bujers. Taken upon the whole it is better, as m re has been planted in the last two ears than could be properly handled. A warm, soaking rain visited Lancaster county Monday afternoon aud evening, and was followed te-day by bright sun shine, which will de much geed, net only te the young tobacco plants, but te ether growing crops. In aud Around Georgetown. Seme sales of tobacco have been made iu the neighborhood within the past two weeks, but it is very hard te ascertain anything definite regarding prices, al though it is certain the prices paid are above what was offered some time age. Very little of last years crop is left in the township The principal lets are in the hands of large raisers ami they will, in all probability, case it themselves.
