LANCASTER DAILY IXTELMGffiKCEU SATLUDAi, DECEUEE i74 1881. : i $ lAiicasfcr fntelliaencet SATURDAY BVKNINO, DBO. 17, t881. Plata as Noonday. The spectre of Gen. Beaver's nomina tion for governor, by the Stalwart ele ment t the-IlepuUlican party in this state will net down at the bidding of these rthe are perfectly willing te take Beaver en his individual merits, but de net want te help nominate the candi date of the Stalwarts. Such organs of the "Citizens" as the Press and Xew Era are making most valiant efforts te argue themselvs into the belief tbat Beaver has net been fixed as the Cam Cam eeon candidate", and that the influence of the administration is net te be thrown in favor of that wing of the party in Pennsylvania. They delude themselves or seek te ueiuae their readers. The New Era, which some weeks age warned its friends net te let themselves be deceived into the be lief that they were te get fair play from t!ie Arthur regime and then explained what was "painfully apparent" from the new president's associations, new pretests against prejudging him from his friends and accepts the fair words with which the Stalwarts try te cloak their " painfully apparent "designs. The Press, with an undisguised appreciation of the embarrassing position in which it linds itself, tries te distinguish between the "preference " of the Stalwart leaders for Beaver and their " set up " or ins nomination and determination te " force it through by machine methods without any regard for public sentiment." It appears te have no objection te Beaver as the "preference" of the Cameren clan : but only as their " set up." Meanwhile Senater Themas V. Cooper returned from Washington, where he had gene te hear the news, gives away the matter by announcing that he has retired from the gubernatorial canvass, in which he was an earnest candidate just before he wpnt te Washington. " He admits that Gen. Beaver has staked out the only practicable route te the governor ship and he does net propose te contest the general's claim."' lie and Beaver discussed the situation frankly and " we then definitely agreed that Gen. Beaver was te lc regarded as the candidate for governor and I premised him my cordial support and he assured me that I should have had equally cordial assistance from him had I been decided en as the candi date. The result of our conference was communicated te Senators Cameren and Mitchell and the representatives, and te Gen. Simen Cameren and Cel. James Duffy, who were in Washington for a few days en their way te Mexico, where tiiey will spend the winter. They were all satisfied with the turn of affairs and there is no question but that Gen. Bea ver will receive a hearty and pewerfu support." Senater Coeppr said he an ticipated no opposition te Beaver from the members of the " Continental Con gress,"' but "expected.Miem te fall quietly into line and devote their energies te securing a place for one of their men en the state ticket." On the ether liaud the real Independ ents of the Republican party bhew that they are juntas well informed and clear headed en the pending issue as the Stal warts. Mr. McKee, of the Wolfe organization, has called a conference of the friends of that movement, and air. Wharten Barker and his colleagues plainly declare that Grantism, Stalwart- ism,Camcrenism and the continued rule of the machine- in Pennsylvania all stand for Beaver's nomination, and they nronese te se treat it. Chairman McKee siys pungently and forcibly : " It is well known from the position winch General Beaver occupied in the senatorial fight Inst winter that he is one of ( 'ameren's aids and is in full accord with the sys tern inaugurated by the Camerons, of ferrinp their own favorites upon the people te fill every important eflice,there by continuing the boss system. I, of course can only speak of myself in re gard te the support of the Independents for General Beaver. I cannot support him. Net that 1 de net consider him a man of sound character, but he will if elected assist in the perpetuation of these evils which we are new fighting azainst." Frank Willing Leach, secre taryef the Wolfe Independent commit tee, said te the Times reporter General "Rasvet was a fair man. but there is against him the same objection as there was against Baily, who was nominated by the bosses against the wishes of the people. ' The fight against Beaver will be en the point of his past pliability in the hands of his political masters." And Mr. AVnlfe. himself, savs: "We cannot afford te elect General Beaver governor when it means the control by Cameren of the Pennsylvania delegation in the next Republican national convention, the placing of Pennsylvania patronage in his hands for another four jears and battering of his chances for re-election te the United States Senate. Beaver, if elected, will probably give us Independent Reform after the Mitchell pattern. Remember this: The Camerons de net allow any man preferment who does net swear allegiance te them." These two elements of the Republican party understand J themselves and each ether perfectly well, and each has marked out its policy. The " Citizens " are trying te sit en two steels and will fall between. These of them who pre fer the party success te the redemption of the commonwealth will fall in with the Stalwarts for Beaver as they did for Baily and help te rivet tne cnains en their own limbs. These of them who arc in earnest for the overthrew of Bess Rule will keep up the fight with Wolfe outside the lines. But it is felly te pre tend te believe that the lines are net al ready drawn. . Mrs. Gabfield is represented as deeply regretting that her husband was never allowed te knew the hopelessness of his condition, nor te dwell upon the imminent Dresnect of his death. It was no doubt concealed from him for salu tary reasons, but the fact that it was kept from him explains what has been a matter of surprise manifested in many - quarters, that of all the expressions and opinions which came from that bedside, there was nene which indicated the look ing forward of the patient te his entrance into immortality. Is aoneintinz Mr. Brewster attorney I general, the president-has selected an Jrble lawyer, an honest man, who is net a protessienai politician, jp wnese nomi nemi nomi nateonthough a frietfd" of Grant and Cameren no Republican faction in Pennsylvania can reasonably object, and from whose professional character and his part in the star route prosecution no failing in that direction is te be anti cipated. The Xew Yerk Tinas thinks the whole new cabinet is agreed upon and will be as fellows : Secretary of State Frederick T. Fre linghuysen, of Xew Jersey. Secretary of the' Treasury Charles J. Felger, of New Yerk. Secretary of War Rebcit T. Lincoln, of Illinois. Secretary of the Navy Geerge S. Beut well, of Massachusetts. Postmaster Geueral I imetliy O. liewc, of Wisconsin. Secretary of the Interior Jereme B. Chaffee, of Colerado. Attorney General Benjamin Harris Brewster, of Pennsylvania. It wtil be noticed that every man in the let was for Grant for a third term. " Let us net be deceived." Majek Giuest's Inquirer corrects our statement that the Cameren faction has "always fought " Hen. A. Herr Smith for Congress with the explanation that " it was net until 1S78, when Dr. J. P. Roebuck was a candidate, that the Cam Cam eeon faction opposed Mr. Smith, giving thcirsuppert te the former, te whom they felt in some measure indebted. In 1880 Mr. Smith was again nomi nated, but we believe the special friends of Mr. Cameren, as a body, took no part in the contest." The editor of the Inquirer has been there se often and knows se well hew it is himself that his statement must be accepted as fact. It may have been only when Smith re fused te let them run him and his office, and when Majer Griest put en the cellar that the Cameren heelers went en the warpath for Mr. Smith's scalp and had the felicity of losing their own te adorn his belt. It would be interesting and of permanent value if the editor of the Inquirer would also let us have the date of his own change ei relation te the Cameren faction. If might be seen te correspond with the change of the Cameren faction's feeling te Smith.

It is comforting te knew that the bomb which Robinson, of New Yerk, tried te fire in the Heuse yesterday and the fuse of which was dampened for the time was a series of resolutions aimed at the state de partment's usurpation in ordering the Yorktown salute of the British flag when "the English government was trampling en the last vestiges of free government by suspending the right of Itabcas cerput, suppressing public meetings and crowding their jaiis with honorable gentlemen un accused of crime, some of them American citizens and ethers the choicest and most honored representatives in Parliament of their own people." Robinson and his resolution will keep ever the holidays without spoiling.

Though he holds a front rank iu his profession he has seen a geed deal of public service net inconsistent with it. Away back in 1846, in his Democratic days, he was appointed by President Polk as commissioner te ad judicate the claims of the Cherokee Indians against the United States government. The next aud only ether important official position held by him was that of attorney general of the commonwealth of Pennsyl vania, te which position he was appointed by Governer Geary in 18G7. 'When be quarreled with him and left his cabinet the governor appointed as his successor his half brother F. Carrel Brewster, be tween whom and Benj. H. there is a bitter feud. In 1874 he was appointed by Gov. Hartranfta member of the commission, presided ever by Chief Justice Aguew, te propose amendments te the new constitu tion, which had gene into operation a few months before, whose report was never acted upon. He ran for the district attor ney nomination in Philadelphia but the machine bosses beat him with Judge Thayer. He had delivered a number of famous orations and addresses, notably these at the lavinir of the corner etenc of the new public buildings, in Philadelphia, and en "Pennsylvania Day " during the progress of the Centennial exhibition. His present and second wife is the accom plished daughter of the late Robt. J. Walker. Te all of these claims te fame the Press adds that he "had the distinc tion of holding the second place in the Press gallery of '6tate celebrities.' " PERSONAL.

But, as a matter of fact, 1 think I can. - When a letter of General Grant's was read in which the writer, speakiug of Gui teau, said : " My son tells me he is a dead beat," Guiteau became very angry and shouted : " This is what Fred Grant says.

V; The tramp question is new agitating the minds of Columbia citizens, and persons being in the immediate vicinity of the rolling mills arc somewhat worried about the large numbers that collect around therein the evenings. The majority of bums are insolent and the geed house wives have plenty of cause te fear them. Our constables have made numerous ar rests, but still they come. It is impossi ble te keep them away, excepting these , pence arrested never again revisit Columbia. Our 'squires leek te the interest of the county tee much. If mere of these who are arrested would be scut te Castle Weise te await their trial at court their ranks would seen thiu out. Of course by doing this it would cause a greater expense te the ceuuty, but at the same time the citizens would be protected. Our justices cannot commit a tramp te jail for any length of time, but they can send them down te await a trial at court. Fer doing this they only make 23c per man, hardly enough for the trouble, and the policeman who takes him dewu, consider ing the less of time, etc., makes still less. If a tramp is drunk and disorderly then the squire cau send him down for live, ten, fifteen, twenty or thirty days, according te the nature of the offence Our justices of the peace have eceu very caretul in their dealings with the tramps. If they are found drunk, of course they are sent down, but if they are brought up for being tramps alone, they are generally dis charged, but advised te leave Columbia as quick S3 possible. Inskle of the first ten days, no less than eighty-five have becu " up before the beak," and about one-third of that number have been sent te Lancaster for drunken and disorderly conduct; Appelntmeut of tl nicer.

The man agers of the mill say they will de what is right by the men, and give them steady cmpleymcut, and all they ask in return is that each puddler makes his four " heats" per day. This is a godsend te the men, for had the mill net started up, many of them would have had a very dull Christ mas. Llttle Lecal?. All of our merchants are complaining about the dullness of buiucss.

The matter was submitted to'ceuncil and 240 persons found vaccin ated that should have paid for the work themselves, as they were property owners, etc. A list of there persons were refused. The report was accepted.

There cau be be question abe?", it, judging from the enthu siastic reception that signalized its initial presentation here by Sir. Rice's company, the merriment that prevailed throughout the perform ance, and the repeated encores with which many of UMdelieieiis times were eeB'plimentcd. '" Readers have gathered frent: the sketch of the libretto rcecntly published" hr the IxtkLLIeknckk a very fair idea of the design aud scope of the composition, which glisten all through with the l:cen satire Gilbert known se well hew te temper, aud the hu mor of the thing consequently is ia his happiest vein. It is set te the framework of pretty music that has qual itics admirably adapted te, and fully car rying out, the meaning of the text. I"ei- it is marked with the languid expression intended te cemcy the transcendental frame of mind in which thu rapturous maidens arc depicted, while again there come a dash anil encrgy, as notably iu the car.e where the dragoon guards appear en the scene with their gay uniforms ami martial air, that operate most etVeetuaily as a foil upon thu preceding p:;-s:gcs. Mauy of the num bers -ire characterised by a tuneful car taking melody that charms the scuse at first hearing, while it takes held ei the memory in the most captivatiuir style. Herein it has many points in common with " Pinafore," and probably en this account mere than any ether de the prophets predict for it the prolonged popularity that marked its nautical pre decessor. Mr. Sullivan has treated "Patience" with mere delicacy and mere attention te detail thau charactcri.u the w score of " Pinafore." The instrumentation f is belter, the artistic unities are morn closely adhered te, the musical sense i. enabled te perceive in this latest produc tion of his ingenious conceit little points which if net essential are at all eyents very pleasing. Judged from the stand point of "trim high art" it is doubtful whether the music of "Patience" would begivcu equal place with that of the " Pi rates," but it strikes the popular fancy, and "that settles it." Mr. Rice caveusa very elcer presen tation. Miss Rese Temple in the rele of Patience, the village milk maul, rendered the numerous pretty little songs iu which her part abounds very nicely, and her act ing was distinguished by an easy grace that heightened the favorable ell'eet el her impersonation. .'lbs Remi C.'ke, as thu Lady Jane, sh .- t herself the possessor of the best -u!i -.; -1 female v.neu iu the warty, aud she !tnt:-:ed thu relu with a majestic humor t h it was v holly comical Miss Irene Miss Carr't I'uir-., as the uiuy ip:ur, E IVrhins as the Lady Mis-; Susie Winner as the li: i- very pretty young Hid ;iv-.ved their parts of lovc levc .!i tie uiiiideti.i with a keen liinef th thing.

Of the men, Mr. Henry E. Diu-y was very amusing iu his part l ii-intherm', a lleshly poet, and compensated ler his vocal defects by some skillful acting. Mr. Mr. Harry Bi.igan as (iicscener, an idyllic poet, was" net .-:e successful. I Iu cannot sing very well, but he can't act at all, aiiJrf he didn't knew his pait.

A Schiller was very funny, and Mr.Russell L. Glever's sweet tenor was heard te advantage in the pait of the Duhe. The chorus, especially the male portion of it, war. superb.
