LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCE!, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1881. Hancaster Jretellfgencer. SATURDAY EVENING, NOV. 12, 1881. Tlie Xew Yerk CItj Democracy. The election returns of New Yerk city show a nearly evenly divided vote be tween the Democrats of Tammany ITall and the adherents of the County Democ racy, the advantage being en the side of Tammany Hall te the extent of about a thousand votes. The Republican vote was but a few thousand larger than that of either of the halves of the Democratic party, and the result has been that the Republican candidate for surrogate was elected by about a third of the vote. Fer many years past the divisions in the iJemecratic party in the city have given a number of the offices te Republicans. The district attorney for a long time has been of that party. Democratic union this year en that office secured the nomination of but one candidate, with the result that the Republican district attorney de clined a renominatien by his party for that place and obtained instead the can didacy for the surregateship, in which his chance of election was better because of the two Democratic candidates. There could have been a union en this office as well as en the district atterneyship, but as it was net one of great political im portance the factions seem te have thought that they could afford te indulge their desire te show which was the strongest. As we have said, the result has left the honors pretty easy between them, al though it must be a source of greater satisfaction te the old organization of Tammany Hall, which was ousted from the Democratic state convention as no longer representative of the Democracy of the city, than te the new County Demo cracy organization, which assumed and was allowed by the convention te be the only proper representative of the Dem ocrats of New Yerk city and county. It was quite notorious, when the action of the state convention was had, that Tammany Hall had a very large Demo cratic adhesion, and it seemed manifest ly unjust that these Democrats should net ba allowed any representation at all in the state council of the party. It Avas defended en the ground, first, that the Tammany Hall society was net organized en a Democratic basis; and. second, that it did net re present the majority of the city Demo Deme crats. These were apparently strong grounds, as a Democratic convention ought t require that its delegates shall represent the majority of the party in their districts, ascertained in a fair and democrat i;- way. Rut as Tammany Hall had for half a century, mere or less, been accepted by Democratic state conventions as the exponent et the views of the Democrats of Xew Yerk city, it was tee late te refuse it this recognition without a conviction that it had ceased te be thus representative. This was the allegation ; and tiie result of the vote sus tains it. in p.' it. Rut it shows that Tam many I fall still represents a little mere than one-half of the Democrats of Xew Yerk : notwithstanding the set-back it received in having the opposing organi zation recognized by the party in the state as the real simen-pure Democracy. Audit is also shown that the County Democratic organization, even less than Tammany Hall, is entitled te claim te ba the voice of all the Democrats of the city. The vile shows distinctly that the stale convention made a mistake, whether it was moved te it by passion,pre passien,pre judice or simply ignorance. It is hardly profitable te inquire new what inspired it. The fact observed is that the Xew Yerk Democrats are divided into two nearly equal camps. The national De mocracy want the voles of both. The state Democracy need them both. If they will net unite, they must he al lowed equal voice in Democratic coun cils. Tammany Hall especially, having shown a larger vote than its rival, cannot again be sat down upon. This time it behaved very wisely and magnanimously, supporting faithfully the slate ticket which it had been denied a voice in making. Such a wrong cannot be pru dently done it again. Wolfe's Vete. A geed deal of discussion is being in dulged in as te what proportion of Mr. Wolfe's vole came from the Democrats. He thinks it did net exceed a feuith, and that would seem te be a very liberal al lowance, in view of the fact that no Democrat had any particular induce ment te support Wolfe. A vote for him was manifestly half of a vote for Rally ; and any Democrat who preft rred Raily te Xeble would naturally have given Raily a whole vote rather than half of one ; that is presuming he was an in. telligcnt man who knew the effect his vote would have en the contest. Xe doubt thei e were a geed many Democrats tee stupid te see that in voting for Wolfe they were but voting for Raily ; still te say that one-fourth ofWelfe's vote came from this class of people is te brand with stupidity tee many Democrats -of independent proclivities te make us readily concede even that much Demo cratic support for Wolfe. The Republicans who voted for him could de se without being accused of stupidity, since their object was te demonstrate their power in their par! vand intimidate and over over theow its bosses. It was wise action in them in a parly view. Outside of Phil adelphia Wolfe's vote was nearly alto gether from this source, and even in Philadelphia it is net true that the Democrats voted for him te aii thing like the extent that is argued from the fact t hat one-half of the Wolfe vote in Philadelphia added te the Xeble vote make:; the vote of Veale, the- Demo Deme crath: candidate for recorder ; for this is assuming first, that no Democrats voted for R lily, and second, that no Republi cans voted for Veale ; whereas, the pre pre snmj.lien is that both these assumptions are erroneous. As we have said, every intelligent Democrat wishing te defeat Xeble would have voted directly for Raily. It is understood that there was some Democratic defection from Xeble in Philadelphia. This swelled Raily's vote, net Wolfe's. Then the Republican candidate for recorder was unpopular, and an important defection from him in creased Veale's vote. There is little doubt that at least forty thousand Re publicans veled for Wolfe in Pennsylvania. District Attorney Cehkhill says that he had no knowledge at all of the cases that were being prepared against the star route people nor that they were in danger of being barred by the statute of limitations. He is a geed witness for himself and if he tells the whole truth he is net in fault for the failure of the trials. There is, however, a public im pression against the entire innocence of the district attorney, founded upon his known friendly relations with the ac cused and the fact that they have been se greatly benefited by his procedure. The impression against President Arthur has the same basis. Where there is smoke there is fire; where results favorable te criminals flew from the action of prose cutors, suspicion that they have been connived at naturally fellows. Xe doubt often great injustice is done by these suspicions ; but it se often happens other wise in cases such as these new contem plated, that unfortunate officials cannot complain when they are unjustly con demned. Oxe lessen has been learned by minori ties all ever the state,which this journal has been teaching for a long time, that it is suicidal te run two candidates for county commissioner when only one can be elected. It disrupt.? the organization. The Allegheny county Democrats tried three and had triple trouble. It is se touching te see the able Re publican editors headline the massacre of Mississippi Democrats by Radical negre bulldozers as " the affray at Marien, Miss." Orit usual epitome of the news of the day will be found en the first page of to day's paper. Attorney General Palmek is moving en the graveyard insurance companies with a ferocity which indicates that he thinks he is en the trail of Wolfe. The Presbyterian commends Blaine's Thanksgiving proclamation for its Chris tian tone with a fervor that will make Blaine's friend, Beb Ingcrsell, think he has get into the wrong pew.

And he's a member of the com mittee for revision of Republican rules, which meats en November 21st !

Since the caterpillars in Maine devas tated the apple orchards a few years a,e the trees have regulaily hernc in what aie elsewhere "off-years."

While Hie creditors of Egypt have been compelled te go without their money the government has been giving a larcc subsidy te the Caire opera house, which never comes anywhere near te paying ex penses. It has suddenly struck the finan ciers that the creditors might as well have th'is subsidy, and se the opera heuse has been closed, and the popular chorus that new gees up from the banks of the Xile is mere like frog creak ings than prima denna warblings. It appears that the very von von Slcu beus did net leave the New Yerk ball in a dudgeon hecause the high and mighty managers insisted en sorting the ladies and escorts te the supper, but the com mittee had set apart a refreshment room for the exclusive use of the foreign and invited guests, who cither had net been apprised of or did net understand this ar rangement. When the von Steubcns and the ladies witli whom they were promen ading approached the deer of the room, they were told that the Indies could net enter. Upen this the von Steubcns left the ball room in anger, and peremptorily and pos itively refused te return, as might have been expected. The ball must have been iu charge of Xew Yerk aldermen. The full and correct table of official ic tmiis of the county vote appears te day ea the Intell'.eencer's fourth page and is worth scrutiny. The parties seem te liave tried which could get out the .small est vote It will be seen that the Demo cratic candidate for commissioner leads his ticket.

Caislyle, in speaking of Lord Jcffcry, remarks that the profession is a curiews one, for this reason : that a lawyer as "it were, hangs up in his office a leaded blun derbuss which he will fire atthc defendant if the plaintiff calls first te engage counsel, or at the plaintiff if the defendant calls first.

" STATE ITEMS. Xorristewn has a new daily the after noon Times. It is Independent-Republican. Windser township, Berks county, carries the banner none for Baily. Menree has neL been heard from yet. The Pittsburg Timet speaks of Jehn Cessna's election in a strongly Democratic district. On the contrary just the re verse.

The Attorney Ueneral'g Authoritative State ment ADeut the Star Reute Cases. Attorney General MacVeagh has re turned from Xew Yerk, where ha visited President Arthur, aud he stated te an agent of tbasseciated press that the rela tions between them have always been, and new are, of the kindest possible character. The statements published te the centrarj', including the pretended cabinet scene, were sheer fabrications. He says the sources from which they originated were, however, se well known, and they were se improbable en their face, that no denial of them was necessary aud that the only thing from such sources which could cause him the slightest annoyance was praise, and that, he knew, he was in no danger of receiving. As te the misrepresentations of his po sition in the star route cases he was equally cheerful. He said he only knew one safe rule iu politics, as in ether things te de what you thought right and let the consequences take care of themselves, and intelligent people formed their opinion of a man net by what happened te be pub lished about him ene day or another, but by the general tenor of his life aud char acter. He ended the conversation by say ing that no preposition had ever been clearer than that his own usefulness cither as a member of the cabinet or as representing the government in the star route cases was absolutely ended by the death of President Garfield. Any subse quent supervision of these cases by him wa3 inevitably calculated, in his opinion, te give the erroneous impression that they were still being conducted by the past ad ministration rather than the present, and such an impression he thought, would be very injurious indeed te the cases them selves. Such were his deliberate convic tions. Upen them, he said, he had steed from the first, and upon them, of course, he must stand te the end. COKK1ULL AND COOK. Statement or t lie District Attorney. The Washington Star prints an inter view with District Attorney Corkhill upon the recently dismissed star route case, and the statement made hy Mr. Cook af ter I he justice delivered his opinion. Mr.Cerkhill is quoted as saying : "I did net think it proper, under the circum stances, te make any reply te Mr. Cook. I have ue wrangle or dispute with him. A few days age I made a statement in court concerning my connection with the case, and when" I concluded Judge Cox said from the bench that the statement I 1 ad made was correct. " 9 " De you think that statement replied fully te what Ce!. Cook said yesterday ?" "Cel. Cook says, first, that he had a con sultation with the president en the Wed nesday night preceding the assassination, and that President Garfield urged them te ' rush en ' these cases. I knew nothing about this, hut different reports were given of that interview by the president and the parties present. Cel. Cook says, next, that the death of the president sus pended this investigation, and that when they had hopes of the president's recovery they recommenced the investigation ; that the first thing done was the employment of Mr. Brewster and Cel. Bliss ; that he went te Leng Branch and had a consulta tion with them in regard te these cases ; he returned here en the tenth, was re called there, and en the fifteenth again re turned te this city, after consultation with thorn as te presenting this case te the grand jury. Xew, Mr. Brewster said, in his address the ether day, that when he was called into the case they had already determined te proceed with the informa tion. It is very difficult te see hew Mr. Cook returned here, after consultation, te present the case te the grand jury when Mr. Brewster says this course proceeding by information was dclcrmin2d en when he was called into the case." Cel. Cook says "that you did net inform him of the adjournment of the grand jury-" " I never said that I had informed Cel. Cook," answered' the district attorney. "He was net in the city. I was never consulted about these cases. I could net possibly have known that there was any case which the statute liniitatisns would baa-, because I did net knew any of the facts about any case. It certainly was Cel. Cook's place, if he knew this was a casa of that kind, te have notified me." " Is it net an unusual thing te adjourn the grand jury. " " By no means. I frequently adjourn tins grand jury when the business will jus tify it. It is no unusual thing te adjourn the grand jury for weeks." " Cel. Cook says, I believe," continued Corkhill, " that he did net knew that the grand jury could be reassembled. If he did net knew that he is ignorant of the law." The disiiicL attorney then reiterated his slaieineiit that the attorney general knew of the adjournment of the grand jury and said he thought his uncentradicted official statement in the presence of the court and counsel placed the responsibility, if there was any, where it properly belonged. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. ' MiJLlV.tON'S I'ICN'lU." Fun at the Opera lleus.; Last Night. Fulton opera house was packed te the walls last evening, when Hyde fc Bell man's variety company appeared in a per formance that was in its way one of the best that has been seen here iu a long while. A pleasing specialty olio consti tuted the first part of the pregramme, which was se uniform in merit and thor oughly satisfying that it seems almost in vidious te particularize. Harry Kernel!, in his neat Irish specially, has few, if any, superiors in the style and quality of his work ; perhaps he might brush up a little en some of his stories and comic sayings which arc considerably worn, but he gets them all off in geed style and never fails te raise a laugh. Bryant and Hoey de a clever musical act interspersed with lets of fun, while Kitty O'Xei! is a very graceful dancer, and her jig called out a deserved encore. " Little Rose bud, " ingenuous and engaging as ever, was a prime favorite with the audience and had a warm reception in her songs and imitations, and ou retiring was roundly encored, but for seim inscrutable reason the child was net permitted te reappear. This little girl gives indications of native talent that arc certain te reach a ripe fru ition with maturer years. Other acts in the first part were of almost or quite equal merit with these enumerated, and the performance closed with a farce cutitlcd " Muidoen's Picnic, " in which the adven tures of two Irishmen, JIuldoen and Mul cahcy, personated respectively by Harry Kerncll and Charlie Reed, kept up a con tinneus rear of laughter. Cole. Edward H. Cele, who was shot at the City hotel some mouths age, hy Em'l.

Are 1,495 IVeUe Men te be Read Out ? Majer Griest's Weekly Inquirer. The committee for revision of Republi can rules meets en Monday, November 21, in this city. Ceuey gave fifty-nine votes for Wolfe. They get their work in en ex-Sheriff Smith this time ; but they gave him a first-class chance te strike back at the next primaries. Wolfe ran ahead of Xeble in the fellow ing districts : Ceney, West Eail, Lam peter West, Sporting Hill, Xcwtewu, Stricklcr's .Scheel Heuse and Union Square, and beat Baily in Sporting Hill. It is alleged that the editor of the Keic Era voted the Republican state ticket icith B-iily's name scratched off. This would accord with the course of the paper during the campaign. It is reported that one or two members of the Republican county committee voted for the Graveyard Insurance candidate. If investigation should prove this te be cor rect the offending parties miglttbe promptly expelled. Sporting Hill district, iu Raphe town ship, went overwhelmingly for Wolfe. He had twice as many votes as Baily and Xo Xe ble combined. Tobe Hershey did it with his little hatchet. It is a great victory for Tebe ; but .r7iat is he going te de with it? Warwick gives a heavy vete for the self-nominated candidate for state treas urer. Majer Bricker was for him, and he is always open and above-beard in what he does. It is reported that a candidate en the Republican county ticket, who lives in that district, voted for Baily but worked for Wolfe. If true it was net creditable. OIU'IIAN ASYLUM IILKNEI). The Destruction or a Useful Institution. Many of our readers and especially these of our fellow citizens who are mem bers of the Reformed church, have been familiar with and interested in the Re formed orphan asylum at Womclsderf, en the Lebanon Valley railroad. It was a beautiful building, en the northern slop'e of the mountain, delightfully situated aud formerly occupied ?s Manderback's sum mer hotel. The yearly celebration of the Heme, has long been a popular picnic for the Valley people, and a resort for the Re formed church members. Its friends learn with regret the news of its entire distinction by fire published in our tele ga ams of yesterday. It seems that the fire was discovered by a party returning from a rail I ing match iu the morning, and it or iginated in the wash kitchen, but in what manner is yet a mystery. Superintendent Albright was at once summoned, and he gave his attention te getting the children out of the burning building. He and his assistant visited the different wards te arouse the children, te the number of about eighty, who wcre unconscious of their danger. They were hurriedly dressed and safely icmevcd from the burning build ing. The little ones were taken charge of by the families residiug iu the neighbor hood and kindly cared for. Superintend cnt Albright made strenuous exertions te save the little ones under his care, and visited the different dormitories several times iu order te make sure that the childica were all gotten out safely. Had the fire net been discovered before it had made much headway, the less of life caused would iiave been terrible. The Heme was a large building, about 120 feet long and 3IJ feet wide, and four stories high and built of brick, The build ing was equipped with all the necessary comforts. The less is estimated at$20,000 aud there is an insurance of $12,000 en the property anil furniture m the following companies : Sinking Springs, $."5,000 ; Reading Mutual, $:!,000 ; Mutual, Berks county, .s:.,(i00 ; Reading Fire Insurance, $1,400. At the time of the fire there were G. or phans in the institution, 40 boys and 2.1 girls. The executive eommittce of the heard of managers have decided that part of the superintendent's residence and the Heur mill be converted into a house for the present. The beard of managers, who will meet en next Thursday, will decide as te the reconstruction of the Heme. It is understood that the Reme will be re built en a much better plan. !II:iKlic!iii ".I alters. Game is very plenty in this section and the hunters arc having tolerable luck.
