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."

Cel. Ben Ixgersell's mining strike is
the sensation at Washington. 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

Mr. Ed. C. IvNtenT, the noted sugar re-

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

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.

Commencement at Union Seminary.
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.
Prof. Gobble, a graduate of Franklin and
Marshall college, class of 1879, is prin
cipal of this school. Under his manage
ment and the assistance of Prof. Ycakcl
and Preceptress Miss Lizzie F. Baker the
school has been in a fleurshiug condition.
Rev. S. J. Shertcss, the supeiintcndent
of the institution, is doing all he can te
make it a success. Success te the work.

Compromising 'Wltn. the BondlieMers of
tbe Bankrupt City.
In pursuance te an announcement
the committee appointed by the
councils of the city of Williams
pert, met the bondholders of Lancas
ter county in the office of William Lea
man, esq., for the purpose of compromis
ing the debt After conversing with each
bondholder for a short time the chairman
of the committee said he would make a
statemeut, alter which anybody could ask
him any question he chose. He said Wil Wil
liamspert, although tbe handsomest city
in the Union, was in a financial straight.
Old Pete Herdic did it all by issuing city
bends and rendering no account te the city
for the money ; that there were $120,000
wasted somehow that could net be ac
counted for, and that the city was in debt
ever $735,000. New what have we get te
show for it, nothing but a miserable
Nichelson pavement e miles long, and a
Dutch neck-canal from the Herdie house
te the river, ever a mile and a-half long,
that cost $53,000. The Nichelson pave
ment was in such bad order that the peo
ple could net drive en it any mere, and
were compelled te use the back streets for
pleasure drives : that it was se full of
holes they had te be continually filling up
with gravel te keep the citizens from
sueicg them Ter damages. 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.

such a contrast between Lancaster city
papers and the West Chester papers is a

humiliating fact A West Chester paper
is like the circus te see one copy sutliees
for a life time the same stereotyped mad mad

The latter is certainly very fatherly advice, J

The crops hereabouts, with the excep
tion of the corn, is very geed particularly
the wheat which premises e lw an extra
heavy crop. 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

Condition or tbe Lecal Tobacco Trade.
. 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.

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.
