The Star Reute Cases.
The circumstances of Special Counsel
W. A. Cook's withdrawal from the star
route cases are net apt te leave a pleas
ant impression "upon the ceuntry:
"With geed or Insufficient reason he
says :
Since the death of President Garfield I
have noticed the gradual freezing out pro
cess of all the original agencies in these
canes, and when Mr. Gibsen was squeezed
out by the change of safe combination aud
request for his keys, I felt then that it
would net be long before I was retired
from .the cases. Cel. Gibseu was a
thorough, earnest and efficient coadjutor,
and I felt in his less that of a valuable
aid. In fact, I have received no encour
agement, nor have I been sent for or given
the confidence of President Arthur or his
cabinet.
lie cemplaius that his detectives have
been removed and ethers imported from
Philadelphia te take their places ; that
indictments were prepared and sent in
without his knowledge, and he deems it
strange that the government counsel
Geerge Bliss, should have bought the
the organ of the stfar route thieves and
retained their defenders as his editors.
The new administration and its attorney
general, in whom, at least, the people
have confidence, are nut te be blamed for
wanting and selecting their own assist
ants in causesef which the responsibility
must new rest with them. But the manly
aud proper thing te have done would have
been te plainly and publicly say se.- While
Cook and Gibsen Mere retained, there
should have been frank and confidential
treatment of them and due respect had
for their preparation of these cases. If
ethers were intended te supplant them,
it should have been carried out at once.
The " freezing out process'' is net an
honorable one, and peihaps MacVeagh
wisely forestalled it in his own case. The
administration must handle the star
route cases delicately te avoid the sus
picion that it does net want te-sec them
miscarry. The ceuntry1 remembers that
these accused men used their plunder te
carry the last presidential election, and
that Arthur was the chief spokesman at
the banquet which unblushingly honored
Dersey for his villainy in Indiana.

Extortionate Freight Rates.
Edv Intelligknckh. In an article iu
the columns of your paper of the 15th
inst.. 1 see the following question, viz. :
What is the tonnage per mile en Presi
dent Roberts' read for the ('5) miles from
Columbia te Marietta ?."'
I'll answer that question, aud sorrow
fully, tee. that it is about 25c. per ten per
mile en freight for the line of the Heading
vt Columbia It. It. and connections.
The stockheldersoftheP.lt. It. have
but ene ticket presented te them, aud if
they vote at all they must vote for Presi
dent Roberts, who evidently mistakes his
calling.
Messrs. Editors : Who is this Gee. II.
Roberts, who talks ene way aud acts the

Lusnuii Meuciiant.
Marietta, V.u, March 16, 1882.
The above letter is a prompt and direct
answer te an interrogatory propounded
in these columns the ether day. it
seems that the Pennsylvania railroad
company takes advantage of its me
nopely of a line between Columbia and
Marietta, en which it has very heavy
freieht natrens, te charge a inpst exter
tienate Kite of freight for such traffic as
gees ever the Reading v t elumbia rail
road. It is such ahn3e of opportunities
as this that naturally excites hostility
te railway corporations, and identifies
them with monopolies. The rate for
these three miles of read is of course
based en no sense of fairness and no
standard of ordinary expense and profit.
It is simply a piling en of everything the
case will stand. There happens te be a
very lengand steep hill between C olum elum
bia aud Marietta, which is a barrier te
wacen transportation, or of course the
P. It. R. freight, rate could net be main
tained at its present exorbitant figure,
but it shows the disposition of the com
pany te take advantage of these who arc
at its mercy
. . .-
What a particularly pure and honest
man this pure and honest Jehn Sherman
must be ! The stationery for his presi
dential campaign was stolen from the
government ; and the sugar and lemons;
likewise the gas fixtures for the com
mittee rooms, flowers aud perfumery,
His private carriages were mended at
the government expense, his house re
paired, his library furnished with book
shelves and his stable with horse troughs!
And all of this Mr. Sherman never dis dis
cevered.until it was exposed for the ben
efit of the public. He never dreamed
such things were going en, and he wants
te say ' 'emphatically and without equive
catien, that no man ever worked for me
while I was secretary of the treasury,
who was en the rolls of the treasury de
partment during office hours, but what
he was either paM for it by Mr. Pitney
but of my pwn pocket or at least
I supposed he was." Supposing his
disclaimer te be true, there arc cer
tain things tindenied and undeniable,
that are as much te Sherman's discredit
as this abuse of his confidence and of the
public treasury by his wicked friends.
Jehn Sherman " worked" the secretary
ship of the treasury for all it was worth te
secure his nomination te the presidency.
He appointed men te federal positions te
help his cause, and removed these who
hindered it. He had special agents of
the treasury,-employed at G or $8 a day
by the government, running all ever the
country, working up his.boem, and they
were at Chicago buyiug negre votes for
him. Itis net much wonder his friends
at the Washington end of the line deem
ed it no harm te engage in their petty
peculations for the benefit of their chief.
Quite naturally the editor of the Lan
caster Inquirer finds no " profit in hold
ing any controversy with the Ixtelli
gencek." Jusfc as naturally the Inquirer
fails te make any answer te the follow
ing query propounded te it for two suc
cessive weeks by the Intelligencer :
And as the Inquirer sets up for a censer
of editorial ethics and wants te knew if a
lie is ever justifiable it may as well answer
at the outset of the discussion, why it has
denied that when its editor ran for Con
gress he gave Levi Sensenig his note for
92,000, te be paid if elected the note,
pending his defeat, being held by a mu
tual friend.

Se influential a Republican journal as
the New Yerk Timts caa. de itself and
its party no discredit, and may de some
geed,by raising its voice against the ger
rymander ,f or which the season is at hand
in the new apportionment of states into
congressional districts. In Massachu
setts, where Gerry himself first.gave the
name te this infamous practice, the .Re
publicans are scheming te erase every
Democratic district in the state, though
in order te de it,. they have te parcel out
the Democratic city of Bosten among
four country districts. In Virginia
the Mahenittes threaten te carve up the
state se as te get nearly all the congress
men. The Times truthfully says, " each
state should be divided into districts as
compact and symmetrical as practicable
and containing as nearly as practicable
an equal number of inhabitants ;" and
we have always maintained that a map
of boundaries and the census tables
should be the only guides in making an
apportionment. Xe parly would lese
much in the country at large by a fair
deal, but each claims that its generosity
in one state would be taken advantage of
by the opposition in auether. These am
days, however, when fair dealing in pol
itics is apt te meet the commendation of
fair men and it would be well for some
parly iu some state te try the experiment
of a decent apportionment. While there
is hope of this we would be sorry te see
the suggestion of the 2Ynirsadej)ted,tIiat
national authority be extended te the
" abolition of the district system and the
election or members of Congress by.gen
eral ticket under a method of voting
Which would secure a proportionate mi
nority representation." The reasonable
tendency is toward district representa
tion, even te the proposed choice of
presidential electors by districts.
It is very unfortunate for much-needed
public information en atepic of present
popular interest, that a man who occti eccti
piessuch a favorable position te furnish
it as the governor of Utah can give no
better statement of the crisis "' in that
territory than is furnished by Gov. Mur
ray's article en this subject in the last
number of the Xerth Anicrb-ari Itcviac.
Although assuming te be an exposition
of the present " crisis," much of it is
very trite narrative ; all of it is written
iu peer style and with tee manifest a
bias te carry much weight with it,
and i-i the cllert Avhich it makes
te convey te outsiders a well defined idea
of the situation in Utah it is a failure.
Te assert that the Mormons arc an igner
ant majority of the population, aud yet
deprive the wealthier and mere educated
minority of any share of political control,
is only te say that there is in Utah a
condition of affairs which prevails in
many ether parts of the country. It has
often been shown that Mermen reports
of the conditions of things in the terri
tory are atrocious lies; tee often the
statements of the Gentiles are equally
highly colored. What the country wants
is some truthful information about
Utah.
Semk intelligent Massachusetts gentle
man, student of the scriptures, recently
setNcd it when he declared, with reference
te the revision of 1881 : " If the version of
St. James was geed enough for St. Paul,
it is geed cneiurh for me."
Mit. II. K. Pepper's Carlisle Valley
Sentinel thinks the latter part of June
would neither be a very early nor a very
late Demeciatic state convention, and
ought te meet the views of all. "Later
than this would bring us into August or
September, which would net give suffi
cient time or the complete organization
of the state. "With proper nominations,
and united and harmonious effort, the
piespect for success is most assuring."

An interesting historical work is ap
pealing in The Moravian, published at
Bethlehem, Pa., namely, "a History of
the Uuitas Fratrum" the church founded
in Moravia aud Bohemia by followers of
Jehn Huss, four hundred and twenty-five
years age. The work is written by Bishop
Edmund de Schwintz, after a careful
htudy aud comparison of all the extant
sources, very few of which are in the Eng
lish language. It is perfectly safe te assert
that this is the first opportunity te read,
in the English language,, a thorough and
correct account of the church of the refor
mers before the Lutheran Reformation.
What the New Yeik World states of
the condition of the law in that common
wealth and the necessity for its codifica
tion may with mere or less propriety he
applied te this and ether states :
A periodical ".house-cleaning" of
statutes and cases is absolutely necessary
te get rid of rubbish and te reduce the law
te a comprehensible and systematic form.
This necessity grows mere evident every
year in New Yerk, since every year the
Legislature, with what has been described
as 4f the natural fecundity of low organ
isms," adds te the enormous stock of stat
utes en hand. When the highest court
declares, as the court eT appeals has de
clared of the statutes relating te this city,
that it does net knew what the law is, tfce
time is plainly ripe for acede.
Tue Rev. Newman Hall, in considering
hew te get people te chureh he concludes
that they de net come concludes:' "Let
us use appropriate methods, net bound
slavishly te old or -conventional usages ;
net fearing novel plans, when old ones are
effete ; sceking by all means te save some
and going after theso who will net ceme
after us. If we should Ieave the nicety
and nine sheep in the fold, in order te
find the one gene astray, still mere let us
leave the empty seats, te go after these for
whom they are prepared. Instead of re
maining inside our churches, lamenting
that se many keep outside let us go te
these eutside and compel them te
come in. And, with all this, let '
us remember we are Yellow-workers 'with
Ged' and leek up te him for help."
At the labor meeting iu Philadelphia
the ether evening Jehn Swinton, of New
Yerk, impressively said in his speech :
Te you, man of Pennsylvania, all power
is given ever all things within your domin
ion, and you can fashion everything here
according te your judgment of the proper
nature of things. Yours is the land of the
state, if ye de hut knew it ; yours, are its
mines of coal and iron, if ye de hut take
them ; yours are all its swelling resources
as seen as ye assert your right te tbem;
yours are its institutions, yours its laws
and Legislature, if ye will but lay held of
them. The world belongs te its builders,
and theirs is the less if they permit the
plunderers te seize it or the gamblers te
cheat them out of it.
According te " the thirty first annual
report of the Lancaster county prison for
the year 1881, published by order of the
prison inspectors," the profits of the man
ufacturing department in that institution
last year were $5G2.SG. This is small
enough, everybody will admit, en a stock
and capital of $24,011.13, and considering
that no acceuut is made of the maintenance
of the convict laborers. The cigar and
tobacco departmeut shows a profit of
$002.81, though under the present system
bf giving out the labor by contract the
prison is already realizing ever $100 a
mouth clear profit and no losses risked by
rotten tobacco.
In Philadelphia the ether day, an elec
tion officer was tried for refusing te re
ceive the vote of ene of that class who de
net take enough interest in qualifying
themselvcs te vote te pay their own tax.
The election officer was acquitted and the
complainant was mulcted iu the costs. It
appeared that ths voter was challenged for
non-payment of poll tax. He produced
the neccssaiy papers, but declined te take
the necessary oath that he had paid the
tax himself. In his opinion, Judge Allisen
condemned the practice of purchasing tax
leccipts by the bundle and dealing them
out gratis te voters as wholly illegal, be
cause it was net a payment of the tax by a
voter or by a person authorized te make
paymcut for another. Other courts have
held, however, chat the possession of the
receipt is prima facie evidence that the
holder has paid his tax. Judge Allisen is
unquestionably right, however, that the
lawtsays the voter must swear that he has
paid his tax himself or by an agent with
express authority.
In ene of his' editorial dispatches from
Washington, Cel. McClure points out the
startling fact that the actual legitimate
expenditures of last year vcie net $250,
000,000. Tliij year the national revenues
will feet up fully $100,000,000, leaving a
margin of ever $150,000,000 te tempt the
cupidity of the jobbers and dcmoralize a
Congress that is mere than half willing at
the start te be demoralized. The reduc
tion of the debt and interest lias been se
rapid lately that the lawful requirements
of the sinking fund have fallen from $74,
000,000 in 1SS1 te $59,000,000 hi 18S2, and
must fall te $14,000,000 in 188:j. The refusal
of the Heuse under these circumstances
te abolish the interna! revonue system and
the odious stamp taxes indicates that the
lobby aud the jobbers are te be left a big
surplus te weik en. The immense over ever
plus of revenues is also likely te point th
opportunity for a reduction of the tariff,
and may help the schemes of the free
traders. It is impossible te apply the sur
plus even te the payment of the national
debt. Our present taxes would mere than
pay our cntire debt at par, principal and
interest iu twolve years, but only about
one-thud of it can be redeemed at par
within the next quarter of a century.

CONCERT AT JMUMT JOX LAST MIGHT.
Delightful JLntertaluBMnt la- tbsFresjte-
rian Cnnrch A JTle .Pregramme
Well Beaeered.
Last evening the young ladies of the
Presbyterian congregation at Mount Jey
cave a concert in the church edifice which
was a' most successful and enjoyable affair.
The pregramme consisted entirely of vocal
and instrumental performances, selected
and arranged with admirable care, and
rendered with a skill and accuracy that
were as creditable te the performers as
they were pleasing te the hearers. A large
audience assembled in the church,
and the favor with which they regarded
the evening's eutcrtainmcut wasmani-.
fested in the frequent applause and the
evident indisposition of the people te. leave
even after the long and excellent pre?
gramme had been completed. A notable
feature of the evening was the singing of
the pastor and his wife, Rev. and Mrs.
Whitcomb, the former's rich and finely
strung tenor blending harmoniously with
the lady.s excellent soprano, and the Let
ter's soles all beiug rapturously applaud
ed ; she was made the recipient of several
elegant floral tributes. Although suffer
ing from a very severe cold, Mrs. Whit
comb wen the golden opinions of her
hearers. Miss Eastman's skillful perform
ances en the piano were also greatly ad
mired, and one of the neatest things en
the pregramme was the piano and organ
due by Misses Eastman and Breneman,
a selectien from "Eruani," very artisti
cally executed. A piano trio upon a single
piano by Misses Shelly, Breneman aud
Casscl was brilliant among the many gems
of the pregi amine, aud lichly deserved the
hearty encere tendered it. The pro pre
gramme is printed in full below, aud in the
uniformity of its met it and clever execu
tion of its several numbers has been rarely
surpassed by an amateur performance. Te
the indcfatigajble labors of Mr. and Mrs.
Whitcomb was due in large measure the
signal success of the affair, and it was the
general sentiment of the audience that the
entertainment wedld well bear repetition.
Among the audieuce were a number of
