THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 11, 1882.
The CohycuUeh and the Candidates.
The regular llepublicau convention
lias placed in nomination a very respect
able setel men in point of character
and fitness ; the chief objection te the
ticket is that it was, with the exception
of the candidate for cengressraan-at-large,
named by .Senater Cameren. Gen.
Beaver has long been known as Cam Cam
eeon's candidate, and se have Ilawle for
the supreme bench and Greer for inter
nal affairs, the latter having been named
six months age by Senater Cameren te
his colleague, Senater Mitchell, as the
man for that place. The enlyjilace that
Senater Cameren has net been able te
fill has been that of congressman. His
policy was te put Wolfe in it. This lie
was forced te abandon by its dislaslef ill
ness te some of his kicking followers. lie
yielded te them and agreed te Butler
te placate the Chester and Delaware
hostility te Beaver. But this did net
avail him; for the Pittsburgh and Phil
adelphia delegates, who were sere ever
the forcing of Bawle into the supreme
judgeship, united te defeat the boss and
succeeded in putting upon the ticket
Tem Marshall, who is noted for his in
dependence. It was a severe slap at
Cameren. It has been his sole aim te
have the ticket recognized as made by
him or by his permission. He does net
seem te have had any special reason for
insisting upon the nomination of Ilawle
except as a manifestation of his power.
He succeeded in getting this man in, but
in doing it he lest another place which
he otherwise would have held securely.
He could net held all the 'ends of the
apron up at once or keep all the apple1
in.
The net result of the campaign is te
show that Senater Cameren, with the
ellices in his hand, has force enough te
control the organization, but net tact
enough te keep it dressed up in geed
order. And it is net because he is net
ready enough te yield. He has done a
great deal of yielding. He let Hie Jnde
pendents put all their line declarations
in his platform, and he took up Wolfe
and dropped him just as the exigency of
the case seemed te require. But yet lie
has embittered influential elements
among his own Stalwarts and is threat,
enedbythe Independents with an op
position ticket. The senator's conces
sions de net seem te work. He seemed
te be doing a line stroke of business
when he captured the Independent com
mittee the ether day and gave tlieui all
the premises they asked for. His con
vention has adopted all their professions
and given them respectable candidates of
geed character for all the eiliees te be
filled. It will net be easy for them te
walk out of tin; trap that they walked
into. They can't get out in any veiy
dignified way or without tern garments
or lacerated skin. Y ct they say they are
going out. Senater Mitchell, who was
at the head of the squad of geese that
followed the trail of corn into the trap,
declares that In; is for a new ticket ; be
cause the one nominated persenilks
the one-man power. Certainly it
does, but Senater Mitchell should
have seen it when he entered into a con
ference with the one man and agreed te
accept his ticket if he consented te in
corporate in his platform the beautiful
sentiments which Mitchell and his
friends professed te admire. Tltis was
substantially the understanding between
the conferees at the time. But it has
since become apparent that it was a mis
take in Senater Mitchell te offer this co
alition te Senater Cameren, giving him
the grain in exchange for the husks ;
Mitchell getting the line words and Cam
eren the parsnips ; the latter controlling
the ellices and the former the platform.
Having waked up te a realization of the
true .situation, Senater Mitchell boldly
proclaims that it don't su't him ; and
that the Independents will have a ticket
of their own.
It is net tee late for them te se re
solve, although they would have done it
far mere gracefully before Ihey made
llicir bargain Willi Uameren, wlncli they
new will have te repudiate. Se far as
declarations go the Cameren ticket is as
beautifully supported as the Independ
ents can be. It stands upon the flower
decked platform of the latter, and the
English language won't avail te make
Senater Mitchell's parly professions
sound mere gratefully te the popular ear
than de Senater Cameren's. It will be
a question of performance between
tlicni, and they have both been engaged
in a hidc-andveek political game which
leaves a well-grounded suspicion that
there is nothing lo'cheose between them
in the point of honesty; the solid truth
being that they are both after the spoils
of office, by hook or by creek ; vide
Wolfe.
And Senater Cameren's ticket is just
as fair-looking in its material, tee, as
the Independents' is likely te be. It is
net probable that they will be able te
present te the people a mere respectable
ticket than the one just nominated. In
deed they will he quite likely te adept
the larger part of it. Marshall, of ceurce
they will want. The man they
particularly aspire te kick against is the
caudidalc for governor and he is rather
a hard man for them te butt against.
He is particularly strong en professions,
which is also their strong point. He
made, they say, a very geed impression
in the convention that nominated him,
posing there after he was nominated
as a very disinterested patriot who only
had the geed of tie party and the people
at heart, and calling en the delegates te
at once proceed te nominate some one
else if they ..thought he was net the man
of the people, which they didn't de. He
did net expect them te de it. But he
said it se that these who heard him
really believed that he meant it.
New what show will the Independent
candidate have in going befeic the pee
pie te persuade them that se pure a man
is anybody's tool ?
Ax esteemed Stalwart contemporary,
the -ffepitWican. of Scnuiten, noting the.
offer by the Re-farmers of this county of
large rewards for the conviction of per
sons found tampering with the primary
elections here, is evidently inclined te
the opinion that the charges proceed
from the fact that the Be-formers didn't
get as much as they had hoped for in the
recent contest, and rises te inquire if
their allegations are true why don't they
prosecute the offenders or pay the money
te some one who will ? The query is a
pertinent one, and the observation that
' howling won't help things " eminently
true.

factory te the Besses
When the convention leassemblcd at
e:10 p. m. the committce en permanent
organization reported Hen. Geerge Lear,
of Bucks county, as president, with a vice
president of each senatorial district, and
the secietarics agreed upon in caucus.
The report being adopted Colonel David
Taggart and General Lilly conducted Mr.
Lear te the chair, and with the words,
' ' Gentlemen of the convention, :' he slowly
proceeded te unfold a huge manuscript, a
great sigh escaping from tke.;c who wanted
te catch the -1:20 train, and then read a
speech in se labored a voice and se low a
tone that the convention forthwith settled
into the loudest and most disrespectful
conversation. Before he had gene far he
apologized for the manuscript and said he
would talk te the delegates in his old and
familiar style, which he then proceeded te
de, and the audience did him the honor of
listening with the proper decency. His
remarks en the apparent absence of fac
tions aud cliques in this convention, and
en the fact that in each instance the honors
of this convention sought the men and the
n:cn net the honors, caused a very notioe netioe notiee
ablo smile te spread ever the sea of faces.
Heaver's nomination.
James Miilikcn, of Centre, then arose
te nominate General Beaver. lledcHveied
a chaste aud .veil-timed eulogy en his
friend and closed with a call for Beaver's
nomination by a raising aud unanimous
vote. There was a icady response, aud
amidst the stringing of hats, the cheering
of the delegates, the waving of handker
chiefs and the music of the baud Beaver
was safely lifted te the head of the ticket.
Every man was en his feet at the mo
mentum veice dissented, and the most im
portant work of the convention was dispos
ed of in ten minutes. Farmer Butler's
friends then deemed him hccurely slated
for congressman-at large, as no Was the
"only candidate en the slate against whom
there seemed te be no object at all, aud
they joined in hearty huzzas for Beaver.
Ilawle ter .Supreme .finite.
The critical point was new reached, the
supreme judgeship, and at e::j5 Silas W.
Pettit, of Philadelphia, named William II.
Ilawle in a short hut .strong speech.
.Mr. Graham, of Philadelphia, thou elo
quently presented the name of Hen. M.
Husscl Thayer for supreme judge, and
asked if it was au honorable act in the
convention te compel Philadelphia te ac
cept a name by dictation which its delega
tion did net desire. Mr. Graham's
speech was a surprise te the convention,
and his arraigning of the machine tactics
created a genuine surprise, aud was loudly
cheered.
Thirty-two members of the Philadel
phia delegation had last night agreed upon
F. Carrell Brewster, but Mc Manes was
convinced that it was tee much te offer
the gas trust ce.unsel for supreme judge.
Judge Allisen had been a geed deal talked
of, but he had sent a letter te Jeseph L.
Tull, of the delegation, authorizing him te
withdraw his name in the event that it
should be put befeic the convention. Gra
ham net only get Thayer ea the track for
judge, but he withdrew the name of Cel.
Dick, upon whom the thirty-two had
united for ceiigressman-at large.
Marriett Brosius, of Lancaster, named
Judge Jehn B. Livingston.
Dalzell, of Allegheny, whose i-peceh was
much better than his voice, nominated
Majer Brown aud Robmsen of Delaware,
closed the speech-making en the judgeship
by offering Judge Clayten. By this time
considerable restlessness was displayed,
and it was evident that no mere speeches
were wanted. Ncsbilt, of Blair, however,
managed te nominate S. S. Blair without
a speech just in time te save himself from
being cut off by Kutan, who insisted upon
a call of the roll. It was apparent that
there were as many candidates in the field
as were needed and a hope stili lingered iu
the hearts of the machine leaders that if
tee many were net brought in te demand
complimentary votes Kawle niilit be
nominated without the trouble of a second
ballet.
The fiist ballet siievvcd that Kawle
lacked only eleven votes of a nomination,
and then apparently for the tir.it time Mc
Maues faced the fact that Kawle would
win. .Hurried consultations followed, the
result of which was evidenced when the
Thayer delegates broke ever te Blown
ami wcie ausweicd with vociferous ap
plause from the Allegheny corner. But
it seen became evident that McMaues
could net transfer all his vote.'-, and Gra
ham finally rese up when called and
ended the last lingering hope of defeat
ing Kawic by responding distinctly
witli the name of William Henry Kiv.de.
Tin: result was Kawle's nomination with
si;: majority, with fifteen or twenty some
votes in reserve for him had they been
needed. Leeds came ti smiling and
moved te make the nomination of Kawle
unanimous, and the motion was adopted
without a dissenting vote.
The first ballet resulted as fellows :
Kawle, 115; Thayer, :S ; Brown, 72;
Clayten, (i; Livingston, 15, and Blair, 1.
The seryud ballet ami the successful
one fei Kawle, as fellows : Kawle, l&J ;
Thayer, 7 ; Brown, 1)7 ; Livingston, 17.
The following voted for Judge- Living
ston : Marriett Biesius. Jehn Keland, Cy
rus Neil", N.M. Weeds. A. M. Klime, I. S.
Ceist, Haydn II. Tshudy, II. A. Sohreycr,
el Lancaster ; Cel. T. T. Werth, Cel. J.
P. S. Cebiu, Oliver Henry, of Lebanon ;
W. F. Sadler, of Cumberland ; J. J.
Cremer, of Fulton, aud J. Cj- A. McC'onk McC'enk
ey and K. C. Blair, of Yerk.
Davics Gees Through.
After Miilikcn had read a dispatch an
nouncing that a Beaver campaign club
had been organized at Bellelentc, a weary
delegate had adopted a motion that all
further speeches should he limited te one
minute, and Kutan proposed the nomina
tion of William T. Davi.cs for lieutenant
governor by acclamation. This was ac
cepted as another ene of the matter-of-fact
things which everybody agreed te and
nobody get excited about. It didn't oc
cur te anyone te cheer Davics, although
he is the first native Wclchman who has
been nominated for a state ellicc iu Penn
sylvania. The f5ccrt)t:iryslil' or internal All'alrs.
Men's thoughts were speedily turned
from Davies te the contest for the position
of secretary of internal affairs, which
premised some features of interest. When
it had been decided te go en with that
nomination thcie wcre boisterous demands
from all ever the house for short speeches
and it was very evident the boys "were iu
no temper te tolerate words. Within five
minutes no less than seven candidates
were iu nomination, as fellows-: Jehn M.
Greer, of Butler ; Jacob G. Hcilniau, of
Lebanon ; E. L. Christman, of Washing
ton ; Lucius Rogers, of McKcan ; A. C.
Beyle, of Indiana; A. K. Dunkcl, of Phil
adelphia, aud Charles G. lieale, of Adams.
The name of Aaren K. Duukel was with
drawn before the ballet was started.
Everybody expected it would take two
ballets te get. Greer through, but hu niade
it en the first, with three votes te spare.
He was net made safe until the last oeunty
en the list was reached, and did net get
both votes from his own county. The re
sult of the ballet was : Greer, 120 ; Kegers,
57 : Heilmau, SO ; Christman, 21 ; Beale,
C ; Beylo, 2. There was no demonstration
when the result was announced, and
Kutan, fearing evidently that everybody
else would forget it, moved that Greer's
nomination be made unanimous.
A Stampede at the End.
Miliken then rose in his most graceful at
titude, jeweled with his bewitching smile,
aud moved the nomination of Farmer
Butler for congressmen-at-large by accla
mation. " Ne, you den'f ," shouted a het headed
delegate from Crawford. " We want jus
tice done te McFarlamV'
"All, right," replied Mr. Mihkeu ;
'have a vote, then." And he sat down
without a murmur.
Just then the deviltry began aud it
seemed te de itself with the most be
wildering spontaneity. Had the conven
tion gene quietly te a ballet Butler would
have been nominated as a matter of course,
but the Allegheny men were ready for
anything.
Henry Buche, of Reading, had premised
Chris. Magce two votes for Brown for su
preme judge, but having failed in his con
tract, he determined te pay the debt some
how. Se he asked Mr. McMancs, of Phila
delphia, te nominate lien. Themas M.
Marshall, of Allegheny, for cengrcssman-at-large.
Turning te Hen. Alexander
Crewe, jr., of the Fifteenth ward, who sat
beside McMancs, the latter said : "Get up
and nominate Marshall for this gentle
man." This Mr. Crewe did, never for a
moment expecting te plunge the conven
tion into such a whirlpool of excitement
at this time. Mr. Marshall was sitting iu
the Allegheny delegation, arranging with
Chris. Magce te cast delegates about se as
te help various ethers who had ceme te
Brown's aid earlier iu the day. " Tem,
you're nominated for ceugressman-at-largc,"
Mr. Dalzell whispered in his ear.
"Withdraw my name," said Marshall, as
he went en with his planning.
In a few minutes Marshall had seven or
eight votes, when he again desired the
thing te step. Judge Buuu, of Philadel
phia, s.iid he would stem the tide, aud, as
he wanted te see hew high the convention
would sear, he named ElenD. Lockwood,
of the Committce of One Hundred, of
Philadelphia, and when Buna's name was
called he voted for Lockwood. All this
time the feeling for Marshall was spread
ing, aud his friends prevailed upon him te
stand, and the Philadelphia delegates
turned ! in for Marshall. It was " such
fuu" te break the slate at the tail cud of
the convention, aud have a geed tirae. It
was merely au experiment, but spread
like wild fire. Allegheny catne up solid
for their man, and Armstrong followed.
General Lilly was withdrawn' and his votes
cast for Marshall. Se it went all along
the line uutil it camj te Chester, when a
rally was attempted by the delegates from
there for Butler. It was but temporary,
however, and Judge Benn tried te boost
the Butter boom by withdrawing Mr.
Lockwood's name, substituting that of
Mr. Butler.
As each vote was recorded cheer after
cheer was given for Marshall. The Phila
delphia and Allegheny delegates joined
hands, waved their hats aloft and shouted
themselves hearse. Even McMaues was
carried away by the excitement of the mo
ment, and he urged en the enthusiasm by
whirling his handkerchief iu the air. He
saw a chance te break the Cameren slate
aud repay the senator for the nomination of
Kawle. Yeung Crewe fidgeted iu his scat
aud was nervous. This was his first peliti
cal vcuture.and he had produced an uproar.
The balloting continued, and as the figures
drew near te 12G, the number necessary te
secure a nomination, Abe couentieu was a
mob. When Geerge D'Autrcchy, of the
Seventeenth Philadelphia district, shouted
"Marshall." Harry lluhn announced
that the Allegheny men had wen, and the
slate was broken. AVhen the total vote of
170 for Marshall te 01 for Butler was an
nounced, Mr. Hay, of Chester county,
took his position iu the centre aisle and
shouted : "The friends of Mr. Butler
move te make, the nomination of the here
of the Allcghcnics unanimous." 'Phis was
done with a will, and Marshall was given
the place at the tail of the ticket by ene of
these strange accidents' of politics that
make and break men.
Bvaver and Davics steed behind the
scenes noting the resolution with evident
coucern lest seme torch of discord had
been fired, but the wirhviud euded in the
unanimous nomination of Marshall while
he was at the rear of the crowded platform
clamoring te have the thing stepped. It
was a smash of the tail cud of the slate
without any intention te de it aud without
the least calculation as te consequences.
True, nobody was against Farmer Butler,
but as it turned out very few wen: earnest
ly for him, and the whole convention
seemed te break out simultaneously like a
let of colts just turned loeso in green
pastures.
Xiie riatlerm.
The ticket had bceu made and there
were loud demands for Beaver and calls
for Marshall, but the platform had te he
disposed of and most of the boys stayed te
hear Judge Jcssup, chairman of the rcse
lutiens committee, read it. The plank
concerning assessments for political pur
pose.; was jeered at aud nearly every, one
of the reform declarations raised a general
laugh, but when Arthur's name was men
tioned the boys get down te solid cheer
ing. At the conclusion of the platform
proceedings General Beaver was sent for
and speedily appeared. He went down te
the front el" the stage en his crutches and
spoke for fifteen minutes without hesita
tion. He was warmly received and the
cheeis of the convention followed as he
went back through the honorary states
men who wcre crowding the platform
Anether effort was made te get Marshall
out, but he had gene, and at seven o'clock
everybody enthusiastically welcomed a
motion te adjoin n.
q'he resolutions in full are as fellows :
The Kcpublicau party of the state of

MITUUHL.!. rUU WAK.
Toe J.inler Senater Stands With Iho In
clependentH. The news of the nomination of the state
ticket was anxiously looked for by the
memhers of the Pennsylvania delegation
in Washiugteu,aud wheu the report of the
action of the convention had been received
it gave general satisfaction te the Stal
wait congressmen. The Independents, en
the contrary, think the nominees give no
assurances of the honest adoption of the
principles of the peace conference and
they leek forward te a bitter fight.
Senater Mitchell's views are a rctlex
of the sentiments of Mr. Baync and the
ether members of the delegation who arc
opposed te Souater Cameren. "The nom
ination of Marshall te be congressman -albueo,"
said Senater Mitchell te-night,
" was a very shrewd movement. It will
satisfy the friends of Brown, of Allegheny
who were clamorous for his nomination
as judg of the supreme court, and it puts
a little different phase en the ticket, but
it docs net alter its general character. I
de uet believe the Independent convention
will ratify the entiie ticket. It may su
derse a few of the candidates and it is
barely possible the Independents will think
it unadvisablc te make a fight against
the nominee for congressman at -large.
Marshall made one of the strongest of the
many pretests I have received against
the removal of Sullivan as collector
of internal revenue for the Twenty
third district, aud I trust that
Senater Cameren will reconsider his de
termination te supplant Sullivan with
Jacksen aud thus lemaiu iu harmony with
the nominee of his convention for congress
man-at lari;e. The convention, taken asa
whele, was a masterly and adroit Stalwart
movement. 1 de net think the talk about
Welfe yesterday for lieutenant governor
will deceive, anybody. His name was evi
dently used by the Stalwarts te create the
impression that eveiy effort te conciliate
the Independents had been made by the
bosses, and that the bosses were unable te
regulate the movements of the great body
of their followers ; in ether words,
that the convention was independ
ent of machine dictatieu. As a
matter of fact, it has been mauaged
se as te rope in the dissatisfied ele
ments by a seeming effort te satisfy the
independent sentiment without really
doing anything te conciliate it. I de net
believe the. Stalwart leaders ever had any
intention of accepting the work of the
Philadelphia cenference iu geed faith.
The candidates with ene exception wcre
selected by Mr. Cameren. Take the case
of Greer. Six mouths age Mr. Cameren
told mc he would be the nominee for sec
retary of internal affairs. Kawle is an In
dependent, hut the Independents had no
veice iu his nomination. Mr. Cameren
selected Rawle as his own candidate, te
make what was termed a concession
te the Independents. The Independents
did net have the selection of any
man en the ticket. The objection the
Independents have te Davics is, that he
had te sce the boss before he could ask
the peeple te nominate him." " A great
many Republicans," Senater Mitchell
further said, " will be ready te make war
en this ticket, but they may hesitate te de
se iu view of the importance te the party
of carrying the elcctieu. This morning,
when I understand the slate was made up
as afterwards ratified by the conven
tion, with the exception of Ma;
shall for congrcssman-at-Iarge instcsd of
Butler, I sent a telegram te one of the
delegates from my own county that I am
willing te have published as my view of
the situation at that time. I don't ex
actly understand what the nomination
of Marshall means. My dispatch was net
presented te the convention, because for
some tinaccountable reason, it was net de
livered in time, although scut at ten
o'clock this morning. The following is
the dispatch.
"'Washington, May 10, 1882.
" Ilwjh Teuny, Harrisburij :
"'The slated ticket renders the con
fcreuce and its platform meaningless. It
is the ene-mau power personified against
which 50,000 Independents protested last
fall, and which thrice that number will
threttle if they have the chance at the bal bal
eot box. The Independent convention
consistently ratify this work. Independ
ents have been prescribed and Stalwart's
rswau.1 - in cur state ever since Garfield
was laid in his grave. I have made every
effort possible te harmonize the factions.
My election and allegiance as senator are
rimarily due te the Independent move
ment. I will net stand by aud see it
strangled without a pretest. At such a
time the personal claims of no candidate
should .stand in the way of harmeay or
principles proclaimed. The only way this
can new be prevented is te adjourn this
convention ever for conference with the
Independents, If this is net done the war
will be carried te the people, and it will
net be the fault of the Independents.
"Jse. I. MitcueIl.'
" Se far as I am concerned I de net pro
pose te enderse this way of running the
party affairs in Pennsylvania." The Pres
correspondent asked Senater Mitchell if he
would attend the Independent convention.
Senater Mitchell said, " If the Independ
ents of my county will elect me a delegate
I shall certainly attend that convention."

A Beautiful Sight tu be Seen en the 17th
, ; This .Menth.
The astroaearical editor of the Provi
dence Journal, in describing the move
ments of the planets during 3Iay, alludes
te the beautiful sight that will be afforded
by tho.ecculation of Jupiter by the cres
cent moon ou the 17th iust., at twenty
four minutes after seven o'clock Washing
ton time. The moon will pass directly
ever Jupiter, hiding him from view. As
from new moon till full, the moon moves
with the dark edged foremost, Jupiter
will suddenly disappear when he reaches
the dark limb, producing a startling effect,
as if he were suddenly annihilated from
the sky at a point where" his path waa un
obstructed. There are ''few observ
ers who will possess the practiced
eye required for witnessing an
occulatien with the moon se near
the sun. But it can fe done by
these who knew where te leek with the
naked eye and with the aid of a geed
opera glass or a small telescope, Jupiter en
that evening will be about oue aud one
third degrees north of the sunset point and
about ten degrees east of the suu, and sets
a few minutes before 8 o'clock. The oceul eceul oceul
tatien of a planet by the moon is a rare
sight, and that of Jupiter by the slender
crescent will net seen be forgotten. In
the month there will be crowded mere im
portant events than these that sometimes
illustrate the records of several successive
months. 'There is the. conjunction of the
three largest planets of the system
with the suit ( Saturn and Neptune
en the 5th, and Jupiter en the tith),
the conjunction of six planets with each
ether, the superior conjunction of Mer
cury, the total eclipse of the sun (uet visi
ble here), arid the occupation of Jupiter
forma brilliant succession of phenomena
as imposing te the mental eye as they are
beautiful te the physical eye. The grand
feature of the month is however, the
number of planets in line with the suu at
nearly the same time, aud the marvelleus
preponderance of planetary attraction
pulling upon the sun in one direction.
Mercury is the first te drop into line, Sat
urn aud Neptune fellow next, and gigan
tic Jupiter is the next te join the ranks.
The sun is new passing through the maxi
mum of sun-spots. Whether the planets
have anything te de with the commotion
agitating hia surface is something which
no astronomer has yet been able te deter
muic. The problem remains te he solved
iu the astronomy of thej future.

The auditors yesterday altcrnoen had

swered negatively the live leading ques
tions. Mr. Lightuer asked the constables the
following additional questions : Did you

who ledged iu the station heuse overnight

own complaint, or any ether person's com
plaint, iu which the ease was dismissed
with county for costs ?
Q. Did you ever have any pcisoner
persons te pilot belated travelers te the
station-house for lodging, with the view of
having complaints against such travelers
iu the nieruing '.'
Te the fiist of these questions Ceustablc
Struck answered "Yes;" te the second
"Ne, unless the pcrseu arrested had
done something." He denied that he had
taken his :-eii.s te pilot persons te the
lockup, but hu sometimes took them
along with him te assist iu the arrest of
hard customers.
When asked in relation te certain cases,
Ceustablc Struek's memory was as de

ether magistrates for such service,
we de net knew, hut your bill for

you charged mileage for 121 dismissed
cases in which you weie the only witness
27 cents in each case. Iu ether words
the constable charged $18.50 forsubpiena fersubpiena
ing himself and $14.52 for traveling 242

the witness he would . examine his bills
made out by the ether Columbia justices,
and strike ut. all. r.ueh fees, ile asked
Ceustablc Fishei if he would be willing
te refund the amount he had received in

gled a geed deal and answered that he
knew nothing about the matter he was
willing te de what the rest de.
Mr. Greider said he did uet charge that
the constable intended te de anything
wrong, but this money was net legally
drawn fiem the treasury, and he would
bn called upon te refund it. Hu also told
