LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCEH FRIDAY MAY 12 1882. JLancasici i-iUflUgcnrcc. JL FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 12, 1882. Senater Mavis Excited. .Senater Davis is having a geed deal of trouble te induce the Senate te accept Iris measure te relieve the supreme court by creating intermediate courts. One great objection te it is the creation of a big batch of new judges; a thing which is net recommended by its expense, nor uv uic increase it uiam-a jl kiiu ex There should be no ecutive patronage. mere officers in the government than arc really necessary, and particularly should lliece bone mere judges and no mere courts than are needed." Te forward the passage of this bill the president, ac cording te Senater Morgan, has agreed te take several of the new judges from the Democratic party. Senater Davis became very indignant at this allegation of Senater Morgan, which he refused te' believe, declaring that " if what the sen ator says is true, these who have been parties te it deserve te be impeached." It seems te us that Senater Davis was unreasonably excited. It certainly would be very right in the president te select the new judges without regard te their parly affiliations. It is very unfor tunate that judges are net alwajs thus selected. If there was any way of pro viding for a non-partisan judiciary it should be provided. One of the greatest evils this country suffers from, undone that is daily growing in its baleful power, is the partisanship of the "judges. We arc disposed te ap plaud tile president for his declara tion that he would appoint some of the new judges from among Demo crats. There is no very geed reason that we can perceive why such a declara tion from him should be objectionable prier te the passage of the hill , much less why it should call for his impeach ment. Even assuming that it was made te promote the enactment it was properly made. The president has as geed a right as anyone else, we judge, te have an opinion of a law pending its passage, and te express it ; and furthermore, te promote or defeat it in any proper way. And we see no impropriety in his saying thai.it tii:-bill should become :i law the judge would net be selected en partisan grounds. If President Arthur' acts and declarations should all be as inix-ccnt as litis v.v will have cause for congratula tion : and he will never deserve impeach ment. SI ill there is no saying that he may net be hnpeached for just such, an innocent thing. A Urpublican president is never se niiieh in danger of impeachment as when In sets himself up against his party, ami threatens te sever it from its .iii.itV Amlrew Jehnsen suffered for just such reason. But we expected ether things of Senater Davis, an independent senator and ex-supreme judge, than te hear him talk of impeachment for non-partisanship. We fear that the numerous shocks that the Illinois senator's great, corporation is reported te have received during this session by the crashing of" the Senate chairs under his heavy weight has soft ened his brain as well as unsettled his understanding. l heir Words- and Their Heeds. Dun Cameren's candidates exhibit him te Iks: public in the new light of the magnanimous man. Mr. P.awle. his nominee for judge, declares that hU politics are" damnable" and that heir, about te come te grief some day as a leader since he is net an expert as ;; working' politician. And he says that Cameren is well acquainted with his views about himself and his measures. Yet he was confident all the time that Cameren would net " go back " en him, but would secure his nomination te the judgeship, which he premised him ; and he went about his daily business and gave himself no uneasiness concerning the result, lie was right. Den stuck te him like a brother. And what is mere he sticks te the nomination which Cam Cam eeon gives him, notwithstanding the " damnable politics " the ticket as Cam Cam Cam oren's ticket represents. Aud which damnable politics causes the revolt from it of the men who would accept the nom inees, but cannot take them with Un load of damnable politics t'uev carry. Queer, isn't ii, hew differently a man leeks at damnable things when lie is riding en them and when he is ridden by them? Mr. Itawleisnetawhitdisguslcd with the ugly beast he is mounted upon, being wholly ecccupied and delighted with the ease of the pace and the. bliss fuhus of the goal. And there is Beaver tee. lie is net for Cameren. If there is one thing his soul despises it is machine politics. The will of the people is as sacred te him as Divine law. lie would never set up his own interests before theirs or fellow any man who did. He be lieves himself te b? the very es es sence of self abnegation and concord. Yet he is the same General Heaver who steed among the unfaltering .".05 at Chi cageand who clung te the etalwart nomination for senator at Harrisburg while there was a man willing te vote for him. In his words the geneialisall that he perhaps believes himself : but there is such a wide divergence between ills words and the deeds which an un propitious fate forces upon him, that we can heartily unite with the Delaware cjuiily Quakers in bewailing the dread ful failure of his performances te come no te the measure of his premises. Senater CameieuV candidates spit upon iiis practices; Senater Cameren's plat form denounces them. It is a curious exhibition. The senator has a bigheart te reward these who despitcfully use him ; and a great soul te confess his sins. Perhaps he is te graduate from his damnable purpose and appear before the world as the model of the humble Christian and that may be why Heaver and Hawle, truly geed men, love and serve him. The information that comes te-day from England, of the summary reversal of the policy of the government in its re lation te Ireland, spems almost incrcdi j ; - . i . J i .-. !!.;!;! in hi'.' piirht. b whLh it i proposed te revive coercion ia all its force and stringency, bad it been presented by an opposition member would have been accepted by the ministers as an impeachment and a challenge of all they have done since they have been in the places of power. They would have op posed it, and if they had been beaten unenitthev would have been forced te resign. The Liberal government broadly admit in the bill which Mr. Gladstone's home secretary has presented in the Heuse of Commens that the four mis- crtants who last week committed a mur der are te-uay me directors ei me insii policy of the British empire. The Lib eral ministry have apparently been meie eager and mere prompt te condemn themselves, and have condemned theni selves merejharslily, than any moderate and reasonable Conservative would have done. They have literally stolen the Ihtuulcr of their adversaries in present ing and urging this remarkable piece of lgislatien, and have accomplished a swift and complete political change of base, the like of which has net been seen in our time.

Oxi: vv.;.c:l of West Chc.-.tci :s se well pleaded because Fanner Butler's name will new be eliminated from the newspapers, that he says : " If Lydia Pinkham could only he hauled down I would be supreme ly happy." Such is fame. Much praise is bestowed upon the ele phant at llr.rrisburg thai refused te turn out for a baby carriage, because it is the first case en record where a baby carriage run by a sour-!eoking nurse did net obtain alt the rights of way.

One of the principal journals published in New Eiig land says the til-i! ::, mere !ik" n circus than a funeral. If honor's voice could seethe tl cold ear of death, the amiable e dull, young statesman who went te his rest ye.-terday, accompanied by .such visible tokens of a people's anguish as rarely fall te the let of mortal, could have almost cried content te his sudden taking off. Lord Frederick Cavendish was dismissed from the cares aud burdens of life in a pageantry which even leyaitv itself rarely sees. Thirty theun.tud people with real grief in their hearts, and thiity -millions sympathizing, made up the cortege of the slain scion of the great Whig house. The premier and his cabinet, net in the perfunctory mien of prescribed wen, but mourning as kins men and stiickcii comrades, lent all the pomp of etlicial presence te the melancholy ssplender t a national ceremonial. Hki'Outs having been extensively circu lated aud published that Mrs. Jesse W. James was preparing or dictating a life of her husband aud his brother Frank James, she makes affidavit emphatically denying such leperts ; declaring that if Jcsse James cvr perpetrated any crime or crimes, of whatever uatuie, she was wholly unconscious of the facts connected therewith ; that he never spoke te her about any unlawful act, of his, and that she has net the least kuowledge of any wrong-doing with which he has been charged. " Under no circnnislaneea," says the widow, " would I lend my name te any publication descriptive of bis ca rear ;,J and she expresses the hope that the public will lcgardker with mero be coming charity than te be deceived by any claims connecting her name with any book. It does sound a little queer te bear our esteemed reform-next year contemporary, the Philadelphia Press, which has joined with such zest in the support of Mr. Cam Cam eeon's candidate for governor, de clare of the two nominations for internal revenue collectors iu this state new befere the Senate, which were made iu compliance with the same Mr. Camer Camer on's express desire, that they " are wrong in piinciple, unwise in practice and whol ly opposed te the wishes, the public senti ment and the public uttcrauces e thc lie publican party in this state.

IRISH REPRESSION. TUi; ALIEN LAWS TO KK Ki:VIV.I. A Itemarkable Bill Introduced into the i;rltlh flouieet Commens for the Prevention of Crime. In the Biitish Heuse of Commens Sir William Vcrsen Harcjurt, the hume sec- ictary, has introduced a bui Mr the re pression of crime in Ireland. He charac terised the prevalence of crime there as a national disnracc. lie said : ' The time has arrived for the entire Heuse te unite in taking steps te repress it. The case we deplore today is net a selitaiy one. dime is a plague spot en Ireland, and I believe the Irish people desire its icmei al. It springs from secret secietics.and must be extirpat ed. The mainspring of erif"' is the e:: ppctatien of impunity, which is only tee well founded. The government has, there fore, concluded that it is .ecesMiry in theso places where the erdiua.y law is net observed that t-pecial tribuua. , consisting of thice judges, be appointed ..;,- the leid lieutenant te try cases wis iieut u jury.

The supreme court may dimiui.ih but cannot increase the severity of the .sentences. Parliament will be asked te provide special remuneration for the special judges." The bill also contains the following pro pre visions : It gives power te search for ..secret apparatus of murder, such as arms, threatening letteis, etc.; power te enter neuses by day or night under a warrant of the lord lieutenaut; power te an est per sons prowling about at night and unable te give an account of themselves, who arc te be dcalL with summaiilv: power te as- rcst strangers, as crimes are generally committed by feieign emissaries, the hospitality of "England net heiuir for such persons as the agents of O'Donovau O'Denovau O'Donevau Rossa, and power te remove foreigners who are considered dangerous te peace. The government therefore intends te revive the alien acts. Secret societies are te be dealt with summarily, and membership thereof v. ill constitute an ellence under this act. Gates of aggravated assault are te be tie.itcd in a .summary manner. Power i.s given te repress intimidation and unlawful meet ings, the latter te be dealt with suui mairily.

' . .Justices can compel the attend attend ance i witnesses about te abscond. Thi, lord lieutenant can appoint addi tional police, where necessary, at the cost of the li:u.ict concerned. Compensation for muidcr and outrage will be required of the districts wheie they occur. Out rages arc te be dealt with summarily by courts, which are te consist of two stipen diary magistrates. Sir William llarceurt anueunced that the sievernment intended te reserve for consideration any further alteration of the jury system, lie admitted that this hill was extraordinary, but lis declared that it was necessary te meet the extraordinary circumstances. The operation of the bill would be limited te three years. Tiie gov ernment would de all in its power te pre vent iuuecent persons suffering from its action. He added that the bill placed al most unlimited authority in the hands of the lord lieutenant, aud concluded In stating that this measure would shortly be followed by one dealing with arrears of rent. Mr. Panic I said he wished te join in an expression as te the temperate spirit shown by England during the past few days, but he declared that spirit was. net displayed in the proposed bill, which he legarded asnhe most stringent ever pro posed, and which, he said, would result in a hundredfold greater failure than what had gene before. The Heuse, Z21 te 22, pasaed the bill te its tiist re.v'.ing. 'the miueiity was com posed entirely of home rulers.

The cold wefc weather which has pre vailed almost continuously for two weeks past, has induced fruit growers te fear that the fruit crop has been permanently in jured and some kinds of fruits hopelessly destroyed. Many varieties of fruit trees are iu full bloom, and it is alleged that the continuous cold rains have swept away the pollen and destroyed the germs of the young fruit. The bad weather has also greatly inter feared with the spring farming, prevent ing farmers from pieparing their grounds ler tobacco and ether late crops, and in teifering greatly with the business of the truck gardeners. Frem all sections we hear of swollen streams and muddy waters, dirty streets aud almost impassa ble reads. Our business men complain that their trade is greatly damaged by the untoward weather. Nobody wants .spring clothing or spring millinery during such a season, and the fear is that there will be no further demand for spring goods of any kind, as summer will probably be upon us as seen as winter ends.

Extremely inclement weather last night prevented a large audience from assemb ling iu St. Steven's chapel, college cam pus, te witness the closing exercises of the Kefermed theological seminary. The floral decorations of the pulpit were very pretty but modest. A splendid cress composed of handsome flowers steed upon the altar. The ritual of the church was conducted by Rev. E. V. Gcrhait, I). D., president of the seminary, after which the Sunday choir competed of male ami female voices sang a beautiful anthem. The first thesis was read by Jacob J. ilotlueck, entitled "Jehn Wicklitlb." Christianity has been called a jewel or in estimable value and has been delivered into the custody of man as a symbol of tuie life and spiritual victory. In the early hntery of Christianity many were the impediments before it and it was seen .surrounded by men using it for ends net designed by Ged. Year after year Chris tianity became deluged with the ambitious efforts of men, and each year removed the tiuths et the gospel into some ilaiker ob scurity, until the Church became little merethan a means of promoting the in terests of the priesthood. At an tarly period of Christianity the religious condi tion of England was almost wholly gov erned by the papacy of Reme. Hence it was that England was at that time by no means the seat of apostolic religion. Rut she was willing te hear the teachings of ene bold enough te proclaim them. Ham iu le24, iu Yorkshire, nothing is a greater contrast than the youth aud subsequent glory of the life of Jehn Wiekliffe. He acquired the tit " Gospel Docter, " in Haliel college, Oxford, aud his studies were mostly centered upon the Rible. The lit erary, social and religious condition of England, at that period all convcrge into this one individual he was the light of all and an organizer of a religious order of people. When he put forth his transla tion of the Bible into the English tongue, he performed a great deed for his fellow men. But he had sufferings ami men's hate was stronger for a time than their admiration, lie died of the palsy in the rectory of Lutterworth, 13S1. He was denounced as a heretic and his bones ex humed, burned and thrown into a neigh boring brook which flowed into the river, then into the sea, and in the quaint words of Fuller, " Thus this brook has conveyed his ashes into Aven, Aven into the Sev ern, Severn into the narrow seas, they Inte the main ocean, and thus the ashes of Wiekliffe are the emblem of his doc trine, which is new disposed all the world ever." Christian W. Stun my Missionary Char acter of the Church. The whele work of redemption is one grand missionary labor. The life of Christ, His incarnation, His nai-thlv life. His iirnominieus yet tri umphant death is one of the greatest mis mis sienary works the world ever knew. But His achievements were net only for His time, but in order that His works might be continued, he selected a band of sturdy and truthful men, and by His own sublime knowledge used them in mak ing them the .salvation of ethers by their instrumentality. The Christian life i.s a law el extension, and in Christ's kingdom it is that man may be brought te Christ by the aid of ether men. Yet the Saviour leaves man net alene te transact his duty, for He says as lie confessed te His diei plcs, " Le, I am with ye always even unto the end of Iho world." In its very nature the Church b; a missionary Church ; its past history has shown its character as such. When Paul was called he was net disobedient te the divine summons, aud he was tilled with supernatural power ; the apes ties like he received this power and went forth te disseminate the gospel in Asia, Africa and Europe, and te lay the founda tion of the Church for all future ages. Against all its mighty impediments the Church has steed and has passed through au ordeal of fire which no ether leligien could have survived. Ancient worshippers acknowledged its might, and Grecian re ligion bowed te it and said, "Gallicun, thou has conquered." ' When thu dissolu tion of the Reman power came the Church alone survived, aud planted her banners en the ruins, and new with wondrous- vigor she still continues her work through all the world. The Church is spreading her truths throughout all the confines of the eaitii aud with stirring words is call ing men into new life by the light of the gospel. It will go en se ; this work must continue until all men shall have heard the word of life, and se lengas time shall last. We must all labor, fev we shall have aid ; what Christ has said te the Church ages age He says new : " L", I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." Essay Wilsen I). Denat " tempta tions of Christ." The baptism of Je.-is by Jehn the Baptist was a final investment of Christ with His holy office, and new in ab solute power his character fitted Him te establish a new life between Ged and aian. But this time was net an age of encourage enceurage incut, for men were wicked and p?r vur.se aiuluucnlightened. Among such pjepkslhe gospel and its principles must be estab fished by Christ. But the great impedi ments He was te encounter weie net imaginary. There was opposition and it made a conflict in which Re was con queror. But Christ did net attempt te work alone He depended upon and fol lowed Hir, father in heaven, and it was only by this that lie conquered. What, Christ had te de was te de the will of His father aud te effect this right He wa.s by divine authority accessible te the chal lenge of the Prince of Darkness; yet He was without sin. The sinless n.i' ire or Christ was similar te the sinle.s-.ne.ss of Adam before the fall, and having assumed the form and in one sense a part of t he nature of man, lie thus became subject te human injury aud temptations. But the temptations of Cluist were purely objec tive ; they approached Kim only from without. There was no innate weakness, no natural frailty ; no temptation could he aroused by premptings of his own heart ; there was nothing within te eegei sin. The -essayist thou spoke of the many and great temptations with which Christ had te contend ; the divine power with which He repelled all attacks, and or hew con stantly and with what force Satan urged him te yield te bis temptations. How Hew easy and hew brilliant a deed it would have been before the multitude for Cluist te have thrown himself from the hi:li mountain in answer te the desire of His temnter, when with his soft and seductive words he displayed befere the vision of Christ great cities and fertile plains. But it was net required. Christ has given un a diviue example of assiduous readiness for work. He never lagged in His work, and He only ended Ili3 labors when they were accomplished. The temptations with which He was assailed He refused net only in a negative but in a most positive manner, it was net a mere refusal, it was a positive answer and the assailcr found Him invulnerable.. In the fact of His ever being prepared te meet assaults which preparation could only come from His father above Christ was ever ready for the wiles of the evil one and could successfully combat them. He has left te His followers throughout all tune an example teaching them te be continuously and fully equipped for their great work. Essay Misery the Fruit of Sin James R. Lewis Misery is'the fruit et sin. Man was created godly, after the image of Ged. Bv his willful disobedience he lest his sin less state. It is the nature of man new te be perverse ; instead of willing j;yed he wills false, and thus arrays himself against Ged. Humanity is organic. Every indi vidual is united, has a beins with the whele.and whensin is committed it violates all the laws and nature et humanity, causes sickness aud pestilence ; society "is tein by its own dissentient and nations are rent aud crumbled by bloodshed ; these are wholly the products of sin. The dual end or culmination of sin is death. The history of man from the earliest times down until the present is tilled with sinful deeds and the pages are soiled with the accounts. .Man can sin, but left te him sell' the transgressor can see no help but in Ged. It is net by human foree nor what resembles s-uch force that Ged does eradicate sin ; in such an external, arbi trary way Ged cannot end it. It must be effected "by gentle intlueuce ; by love. Active and positive ebedience from man te Ged will alone removesin. He must knew a higher power thati that of mh, ami in Christ he will find life and hope. Men who hate the geed and leve the evil con gregate by their own evil sympathies te gether ; and their sin begets sin. The essayist cited as examples cities whet ein the wicked are joined as New Yerk and Londen, which he thought were coriejtly tertned hells upon earth. When sin has a held Upen a nation, the eiicets are very serious. The Ficnch levolutien was a social upheaval at a time when Ged was denied, aud that dark pagoet history with its ciimes, sufferings, anil horror, makes u.s bhuddci. Suppose it .should be that wickedness had full force with all men, then this earth would bis a hell indeed. The wicked are often triumphant for a time ; they arc sometimes far mere pros perous than the righteous, but- this i.s net au indication of any weakness in the Crea Crea eor. Their turn will conic and then alt will sutler, and the prosperity of the evil will end. The fact that the unrighteous often are successful should net eausu Christians te question Ged's premises ; He will al ways deal justly, for he delights net in sultcring. Over the heads of the evil hangs impending judgment ; their con science burns like a coal of fire iu their hearts. Evildoers in one sense make tiieir own hell. Death is an epoch, a crisis iu man's existence, and his life here should be such as te insure hap piness beyond. The ancients expressed a great truth when they said : " Alan is im mortal," and it is net Ged's will thateter uity should be spent in a state of terrible suffering. He delights net iu sin, but loves all,' and premises, " 1 am the way, the truth and the life." Essay Geerge W. Kerehner Types of the Scriptures The method of the fathers iu writing the scriptures wa.s largely by types and allegories. But between Uicm) two there is a wide dictinctieu. The essayist then speke el the neces sity of the use of the symbolical writings of the scriptures in early ages and showed the essential significance of the types and allegories used in the Bible. The gradual development of man te fully understand the truths of the Bible, was aided by the use of types in sacred writ ings. As an example the essayist took the observance of the sacrifice. Te the ancients this was au embodiment of :; higher symbol, and gave a tangible reali zation efthc meaning of the atonement of sin, or of a power abeve man, and far mere potent. The extent of the typical matter in the testaments all converge iu ene great truth Christ, aud He enfolds all typical and ritual expressions and in Him all forms and principles are the Werd made flesh.
