LANCASTER DAILY MeLLIGEIWEN MONDAY JUNE 26 18SU. Lancaster f ntellifiencet. MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 26, 1082. Democratic Rales. The Democratic state convention will undoubtedly take some action in regard te the proposed adoption of deGnite rules for the government of the party in this state, in order that whatever system of organization is the best may be formally expressed, instead of being left te be contended about year after year as occa sions arise ; which are loe often met by the determination of disputed prece dents, according te the interests of the majority in the state committee or con vention. Since this subject was first .breached there has been a steady growth of popular sentiment in the party in favor of having certain general matters and essentials te efficient organization se well defined and se clearly laid down in advance of all exigencies which may arise, that in the management of con ventions and the direction of campaigns neither the interests of candidates nor of factions shall be allowed te divert the party from its ordered plan of organiza tion. As te the details of this improved plan of organization the members of the con vention may net be entirely agreed, and it is proposed te ask the convention te refer all prepositions offered te the usual committee en resolutions, which will be composed of fifty members, re presenting each senatorial district and fit te deliberately consider this important matter and te report a plan satisfactory and equitable te every section of the state. We believe there is general concur rence in the idea et having the state committee made up of the chairmen of the county committees, cc-otfi'c'e, with the prevision that any county entitled te mere than one state senator, shall have anadditieual member of the state com mittee for each additional senator, this additional member of the slate commit tee te be appointed in such manner as the local regulations et the respective county organizations may determine ; this will preserve a fair representation for the larger counties. The suggestion that the state committee shall organize in the winter and appoint an executive committee is also generally approved ; and also that it shall meet the evening before the state convention, fix the prima facie roll and appoint the temporary officers of the convention. The widest difference of opinion will no doubt be found te prevail concerning the best plan of representation in the state convention. Everybody seems le be agreed that the senatorial delegates should be abolished, as an entirely use less system of representation, since every county in the state new has at least one representative district and the selection of senatorial delegates by con ferees, as well as their anomalous posi tion in the convention, has tee often been the occasion of discoid and un seemly strife. In most ether states they are net known. The abolition of the senatorial delegates would reduce the membership of the convention, upeu the present plan of representation, from 250 te 200, and it has been proposed that the representation in stale conventions shall consist of two dele gates for each representative in the slate Legislature from the respective districts in the state. Frem many quarters there comes the very natural and equitable de mand that the representation shall be mere nearly based en the Democratic vote, conceding, of course, ene delegate at least te every county in the state. This preposition has net been included in the draft of rules submitted le the Democracy of the state, net because they are deemed complete or beyond improve ment, but because it is considered better te defer radical innovations until fair trial shall have been given the proposed revision, while matters of detail can be safely left te future state committees and conventions; and, moreover, there is net likely te l)e unanimity among Democrats as te the policy of increasing the size of their conventions, the editors of the Intel ligencer being themselves of different opinions in the matter, Mr. Steinman considering them already quite large enough for proper handling. But if the present convention shall de sire te incorporate this idea in the rules new te be adopted it will find a feasible basis of apportionment in one dele gate for each 1 ,000 Democratic votes cast at the last presidential election and for each fraction of 1,000 amounting te 500 or ever ; provided, of course, that any separate county net casting 1,000 shall have one delegate. This would make a convention of a little ever 400 mem bers. The only difficulty about this plan would be te distribute the delegates from the large counties among the various representative dis tricts composing them, for it would net de te have the big delegations elected en masse. But this could be avoided by a judicious apportionment made by the state committee or local organization en the basis of the Democratic vote in the several representative districts of such counties as Philadelphia, Allegheny, Berks, Schuylkill and Lancaster. m Tfic Internal Rcrennc Tax. Congress is engaged in depleting the revenue by a reduction of the internal taxes. The banks are te be relieved of ever eleven million dollars and the man ufacturers of patent medicines, per fumery and matches of ever five millions. The lower house is nearly evenly divided upon the question of relieving also the whisky and tobacco manufacturers. The taxes upon these articles of luxury, which are also baneful articles, can very well be supported by the community, which would be all the better off if they were net manufactured at all. If the United States does net need the money raised by these taxes why would it net be well le dis tribute it among the states where it would serve te reduce their taxation ? If the states could raise the money te run their governments by placing a tax upon whisky and tobacco, it would be a better source whence te derive it than by making a levy en the ether property of their citizens. Perhaps it might be managed se that the United States could pass its collecting machinery ever te the states te be administered by them. If the tax en the whisky still in the South ern mountains went te the state, prob ably ptfblic sent iment there would make the collection easy that the United States new finds se difficult. Moenshining would cease te be popular in these states which declare themselves tee peer te pay their debts. And if Virginia collected for herself the tax en her tobacco industry, she would hardly growl about it as she does new. The Philadelphia Ilecerd put out its Sunday edition, in size and general ap pearance like the daily edition, but with considerably mere reading matter. The Sunday Recerd comes te stay of course. A Geiiman in Philadelphia has dis covered that the expansion by heat el bisulphide of carbon is the great mechani cal power of the future. He proposes te move mountains with it. It having been suggested that there are 5,000 millionaires in the country, the New Yerk Ledger, which is published by ene of them, says 150 would be nearer the mark. There are probably as many as 500. The New Yerk Sun repeats the story that when things looked blue for Gar field $100,000 were raised and sent te Ohie by Jay Gould, through Whitclaw Reid, for the Republicans ; the candidate bind iug himself te appoint Stanley Matthews le the supreme bench te reverse the ap proved constitutionality of the Thnrman railroad act. Tin: New Yerk Glebe, edited by colored men, .says : " When a party cannot main tain its supremacy without corrupting the public tcrvicc by bargaining away offices and taxing peer employees, aud when a party is unable te correct these evils by ferce: within its organization, we cannot see why it should longer held the confi dence of honest, thoughtful citizens." Tin: speech published in the Republi can local newspapers as having been made by Mr. Brosius in this city the ether even ing continues te attract attention aud the Times says that " no collection of comic literature is new complete without Mar Mar liett Brosius' Laucastcr speech. We have leug needed a funny man in politics aud he seems new te have get here." Ir; his surmen yesterday Rev. Henry Waul liecchcr indorsed the freight handlers' strike as justifiable aud said that the Knights of Laber, Werkingraeu's Union, etc., were popular educators, and the education of common people was te be approved. He did net always approve of strikes. The cheapening of things was a grand work of capital, but capital should net cheapen men. Referring te the effect of combined capital en legislation, he said that te reverence the law ene must net see it made, and the men in the city who elected palaces from which te threw mis siles of uuhuppiuess should knew that they were in danger. PinsT Assistant Postmaster Genekal Hattes wants it understood that be has no objection te the Federal officers in his department responding te Jay Hubbel's blackmailing assessment. He writes : " I de net consider it any part of my official duty te dictate te the employees under me in regard te the disposition they make of their own private funds. I shall, as an empleyee of the government, decide for myself whether or net I will make a vol unteer contribution te aid in meetiug the necessary and legitimate expenses of the campaign, and I am quite willing te con cede the same right te all ether men." This is plain enough te be understood at auy cress reads. Evex the New Yerk Tribune is suspi cious of the persistent demand of the state department for $90,000 for " secret ser vice." Very naturally aud properly a fiee people feel jealous of the public purse, and they demand that sufficient vouchers shall accompany all expenditures. Of course, in times of great public danger, it may well happen that a confidential use of money becomes ueed fill and imperative But why, in this era of profound peace, should Mr. Frelinghuysen require a fund for secret service at all, and especially why should he require one as large nearly as Mr. Seward found necessary when dangers of all kinds, open and secret, wcre men acing the republic. The example is a bad ene. The precedent is dangerous, and the Tribune hopes the Heuse will stand firmly te the end as it has new these many weeks against granting the extraor dinary request. If we grant $90,000 this ydar a larger sum will be asked next year, and we shall very seen find ourselves launched en a sea of doubtful aud danger ous experiment. PERSONAL. B. F. Esiileman and W. F.

(iUlTKAU'S LAST SUNDAY. Still Insisting that no Obeyed the Almighty' Will. Mr. Charles Reed, Guiteau's counsel, said en Sunday night, that he had done all that could be done for the condemned man. Every avenue is closed new but that which leads te the gallows. Jehn W. Guitcau has arrived in Washington. He saw his brother. He has some documents bearing en Guiteau's irresponsibility which he desires te submit te the president. Mr. Reed will try te obtain the president's consent te see Jehn W. Guiteau aud te re ceive the documents, but he believes such effeit will be hopeless. Jehn W. Guiteau feuud his brother perfectly calm aud seem iug fully te realize that this was his last Sunday en earth. He, however, displayed no anxiety or fear, aud seemed content. Mr. Reed said he had been urged te per sistence because he had become mei e aud mero convinced that Guitcau was legally irresponsible. " lie has never." Mr. Reed said, " weakened en his delusion. He believes te-day mero firmly than ever that he was commanded by the Almighty totake Gar field's life. Only a few days age, and wheu hope had almost expired, I asked him if he desired te have any religious ad vice aud consolation. He was willing te converse with a clergyman en religious subjects, but when I suggested the possi ble need or repentance aud picparatien he said that he had no need te ask for re pentance. He had done the will of the Almighty. Had he refused te obey that command, then he would have had need te ask for forgiveness. If it was Ged's will that he be made a martyr for obeying His command, it was well, and he should iccoive his reward hereafter. That con viction is. beyond question, a genuine one and he will take it with him te the gal lows." The Rev. Mr. Hicks, the clergyman who daily visits Guiteau, says that, he is puz zled beyond expression by the mau. Mr. Hicks believed him te be a thoroughly bad, vicious person, and ene wholly responsible for his crime. But he had never seen him until he went le the jail te tender him re ligious advice. He has been obliged te bolievo that Guiteau's convictions respect ing inspiration are genuine. Te all ap pearance he Believes that he was directed te kill Garfield, and will suffer a martyr's fate therefer. He expects te be hanged, and docs net expiess the slightest fear, and his faith iu the Almighty seems te be absolute and genuine. lie seems te In as thoroughly assured of the Christian's re ward as does the dying saint. The preparations for the hanging aie nearly completed. Nethiug remains te be dene but te test the gallows aud prepare the condemned man for it. He will be kept iu the most rigid seclusion uutil Fri day morning. Ne ene save the guard, the clergyman, his brother and counsel will be allowed te i-ee hiiu. The prcssuie upon the warden for passes is very great, but the law respecting the conduct of the exe cution will be strictly obeyed. .Nene but these indicated by the btatute will witness Guiteau's death. His body will probably be delivered te his brother. The Republican Jllackmallers. Philadelphia Ledger. ' Resolved that we condemn compulsory assessments for political purposes and pio pie pio scriptien for failure te respond te such assessment, or te requests for voluntary contributions." This was ene of the con cessions made by the Republican state convention of May 10th, te the Independ ents. It sounds very grand ; but is ex ceedingly hollow. Hew Senater Cooper, chairman of the regular state committee, understands the glittering generality, may be noticed in his demand for "voluntary contributions," se framed that no clerk or employee can fail te be sensible that the demaud for a per ccntage en his pay is regarded with favor by the ap pointing power, and that he will be ex pected te make " prompt and favorable response" or take the consequences of refusal, the victim is saved all trouble in the way of ceuuting up hew much he can " volunteer " te coutribule, as the amount is already calculated for him in the circular. This makes his "voluntary" action quite easy, as he has nothing te de except te step up te the captain's office with the cash. He may have had sickness death, or ether sere and costly trouble in his family, but still he has the comfort of knowing that this cau make no difieicncc te hew much he can afford in his freewill offering. Powerful are the planks in party platforms. KOnitED OF HIS FORTUNE. Three Thousand Hollars Taken from a nit. Carinel Miner's Trunk. A bold and successful robbery was perpe trated Friday at the Washington house, Mt. Carmel. Pa. Daniel McCauIley, a boarder at the netel, by his industry and sobriety managed te save $2,000 of his earnings, which he had iu his trunk in his bed room. He was recently injured in the mines, and he had decided upon pur chasing the Washington house te go into business for himself. He also received from Philadelphia a large sum of money this week, m'aking a total of $3,000 or $3,500, all of which he had in his trunk. He discovered Friday last that the latch en his bed room deer was unscrewed aud upon entering the room he was horrified te find the trunk and contents taken. Suspicion rested en a boarder named Edward McGinley, jr., for whom a war rant was issued. After a hearing McGin ley was held in $1,000 bail. He denies any kuowtedge of the affair, and a search of his room failed te threw any light en the case. McGinley was discharged for want of sufficient ovidence te held him. The afiair creates considerable excitement. The less is a heavy one te Mr. McCauIley in bis present condition, TRIPLE SUICIDE. DELIBERATELY TAKING FOISON. The Three Yeung Glrla Who Concluded te End Their Lives. A brief telegram from Danville, III., en Thursday announced the suicide of two young girls and the narrow escape from death from poisoning of one of their com panions. They had all taken arsenic and suffered terrible agony. Mrs. Brown keeps a bearding house at the corner of Jacksen and Van Buren streets. Danville. She employs several girls in her house as domestics and thiee of them employed in that ca pacity were Ella Mills, daughter of a Danville wagon-maker ; Mattie Ogle, who has a sister, Mrs. James Brier, living in the city, and Mary Jenes, the daughter of resnectable paicuts. These girls bore the reputation of being lively, cheerful and well-behaved, aud attended te their duties in a manner which gave rise te no suspicieu that they would take their own lives. It seems, however, that they were discouraged. Perbap3 their work was tee hard, and they talked the matter ever and concluded that it would be better for them te die. Ella Mills sat down en Wednesday and announced her intention of committing suicide in the fol lowing letter te her sister : " Deak Little Sister: I have resolved te put myself out of the world. I have te work out all the time and if 1 didn't I would have te go home. Then people would talk, because my dear father lives with a fancy wemau ee people say." Mattie Ogle was an orphan, but why Mary Jenes should consent te the scheme cannot be accounted for. Ella Mills was seventeen years of 3ge, Mary Jenes twelve and Mattie Ogle fourteen. They borrowed twenty-five cents of Mrs. Brown en Wed nesday night, bought some arsenic, divided it into three doses aud swallowed it. About 9 o'clock Mary Jenes was taken with vio lent purging and vomiting, butne ene out side of the trio suspected its cause. The sick girl was supplied with stimulants. During the night Mrs. Brown found Ella Mills lying upon the perch in great pain and vomiting at short intervals a mucous, slimy substance mixed with bleed. She was carried into the house aud placed upon a bed, aud all possi ble relief afforded her. A little later Mattie Ogle was feuud outdoors enduring the same pains and vomiting in the same manner. Drs. Clark aud Balsey wcre called, but two of the girls were beyond all relief. Emma Mills was already dying. Her pulse was almost still, her eyes were dilated and the air from her lungs was cold. She was dead at 4 o'clock. Mattie Ogle died about twenty minutes later. Just before she died Ella Mills was entreated te tell what she had taken and she with great difficulty man aged te say that she had takeu nothing only seme candy. Mattie Ogle ncver ral lied from the state of collapse iu which she was found by Doctors Clark and Balsey, but died without uttering a single word. Mary Jenes was very reticent about the whele matter and almost refused te speak at all. She said that between soven and eight o'clock they all took atablospeonful of a white powder which Ella Mills had procured somewh?ro iu Tiuchertewn. It has developed siuce that it was procured at the drug More of Oakwood fc Bennett. They diluted the powder with water and it had the taste of a copper piece held in the mouth. Dr. Clark thinks that Miss Jeues will lecever. He attributes her escape te the fact that the poison took ef fect en her sooner than upon the ethers, and befere it had been se thoroughly dis seminated throughout her system. CATCHING A UK AH. AleuugLudy netting Even IVlth a irractl ctl Jeker. San Francisce Test. They tell a story of a would-be funny broker, who last reason adopted a most fiendish method of getting even with ene of the chronic fliits who are said te make the piazzas here lively later in the season. He obtained half a dozen energetic crates from the fishing bsach, and watching for au opportunity when no ene was in a particular tauk, except the inconsistent fair object of his vengeance, he dropped in the crustaceans (way up term frt crab?). The young lady continued her nataterial exercises, (jam UP for paddling) a few minutes longer, when she suddenly uttered a blood curdling shriek, and was helped up the ladder with a crab hanging ou te her pink little tee. She had several consecutive epileptic fits while the marine corn doctor was being removed. The Mephistophelean glee of the broker, however, gave him away, and for fear of some counter trick he decided te bathe early in the morning thereafter. A few days after that the bath-heuse keeper was startled by seme terrific yells, aud, hastily entering the tauk-heuse, he beheld the broker lloun lleun lloun dering out with a big, jagged-teethed spring rat-trap cleuched en his heel, "Who the devil put this horrible thing in the water?" reared the broker. "I did, sir," sweetly replied the crab bed young lady aforementioned, stepping out of a bathroom. 'I put it there te catch these horrid crabs, you knew." The broker went home en a crutch. A WHITE HOUSE CONCERT. Scenes en the Lawns Hack of the Mansion en Saturday. On Saturday the largest audience of the season gathered en the lawns behind the White Heuse te listen te the usual concert by the Marine band and te enjoy the brecze that swept up from the Potomac. When the president has bceu at home he has appeared with a party of lady and geutlemcu friends iu the rear perch of the White Heuse, aud has heard the concert at a distance from the miscellane ous and democratic throng wandering about en the pleasant lawn. On Saturday the perch was empty, the president Laving geno off en a fishing excursion te Harp er's Ferry with Senators Hampton, Vest, and Jenes, of Nevada. Thcre were an unusual number of congressmen among the listeners, and 15 or 20 New Yerk men were chatting in the shadow of a greve, just below the White Heuse, when ex-Secretary Blaine, with Mr. Walker Blaine, sauntered leisurely down the lawn and toward this group. The ex-secretary was looking extremely well, aud seemed te be perfectly at ease and com fortable in the midst of the throng of peo ple. He was known te some of the New Yerk men, and these who were acquainted with him seen made him acquainted with the ethers, and he chatted with all about the weather, the White Heuse surround ings, the sorrowful scenes witnessed from the lawn a year age, when the body of President Garfield was brought te the rear perch, and he waved his hand te ene of the ladies who steed by te see him carried in. The ehat with the New Yerk men was entirely unconstrained and when it was ever the ex-secretary strolled around te talk with ether acquaint ances, evidently enjoying the meetings as much as they wcre enjoyed by the meu with whom he exchanged greetings. A Streng Man ler Lieutenant Governer. Uncle Jake Zleglcr's Butler Herald. We agree with the Williamsport Sun in saying, that the office of lieutenant gov ernor is a very important ene. The per son te be selected for the position by the Democracy as their candidate should be a man of ability, integrity and honesty. Net only se, he should be acquainted with parliamentary law, quick in perception of sound judgment, decided in character and possessed of these social qualities which i . -ibly bring te a presiding officer de siii.'l respect and popularity. Such a person we believe Cbauncey F. Black, esq, of Yerk, son of Hen. Jeremiah S. Black, the eminent jurist, te be ; and if be should be nominated there is no one we would mero willingly see successful. He has all the requisites te make a first class presiding officer. A Vleeland cashier's Defalcation. Vineland, N. J., is considerably excited ever the reported defalcation of Willis T. Virgil, who has acted as cashier of the Vineland bank for about 17 years, and hai until recently enjoyed the confidence of this community. He is a man of middle age, temperate habits, aud is exceptionally economical. His inordinate love of money is undoubtedly the root of the evil. Twe of the bank clerks, who bad been watching Virgil's operations for some time, produced conclusive evidence of his guilt te the beard of directors en June 5, and he was forced te resign immediately. Henry Hartsen, the nominal cashier, was in no way connected with the unlawful transactions. He resigned his office, how ever, in favor of Themas H. Vinter.whehas been elected te fill the vacancy. The direc tors have kept the affair very quiet up te the present time in order te make a thorough investigation of the accounts, and new declare that the funds misappro priated, amounting te upward of $6,000, have been made geed. Neither the bank nor any of the depositors will be losers. The misappropriated money has been mostly invested in the West at a high rate of interest and en geed security. Ne legal steps have yet bceu taken against Mr. Virgil, and the officers and directors of the bank de net seem disposed te pro ceed against him. He appears very much dejected, and expresses himself as tired of life. The bank officers have announced their readiucss te pay any or all depositors en application, which is considered a suffi cient guaiantee of the safety of the insti tution. The deposits amount te about $70,000. The Rase Rail Field. Baseball en Saturday: At Louisville Eclipse, 10 ; Baltimore, 0. At Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Bosten, 8 ; Buffalo, 2.

Fatten co lit Carlisle The opera of Patience was givcu at Car lisle ou Friday and Saturday evenings, by an amateur company, for the benefit of the Jbpiscepal church, ihe rele of Pa tience was taken and well sustained by Mrs. Nellie Johnsten Campbell, formerly of this city. The Lady Jane was assumed by Mrs. J. J. Frick, of Yerk. All the ether performers, we believe, belong te Carlisle, and sang and acted their several parts in a manner that created the great est enthusiasm in the large audiences in attendance, who expressed their approba tion by presenting te the leading porform perform porferm ers mauy beautiful floral pieces. Prof. A. Newberry, leader of Dr. Kramer's church choir, conducted the music, which was quite equal te that of most professional companies. DROWNING ACCIDENT. Rebert Hailstock Reported Dead. This forenoon Mrs. Elizabeth Hailstock, colored, residing en Christian street near the Pennsylvania railroad, received a dis patch from Philadelphia stating that her son was drowned there this morning. Mis. Hailstock's eldest son Charles lives iu New Jersey and Rebert her yeuugest for several years past has been in Philadelphia where he had a geed position. It is sup posed that Rebert is the one who was drowned. " Beb," as he was called here, was well known throughout the city, but he has net lived nere for several years. He was almost 30 years of age, aud since he went te Philadelphia he has been married. Mrs. Hailstock left for Philadelphia this afternoon. A Ilerrinie Deed. On Friday night Jacob Slayuard, of Conestoga Centre, borrowed a herse from Simen Geed, intending te drive te Lancas ter early en Saturday morning with a lead of cherries. About half-past 12 o'clock, Mr. Maynard went te the barn for the pur pose of feeding the heise, when he found that he was missing. Seme time after ward he found the animal lying in his tobacco patch. lTe was suffering from four bullet wounds in the head, which were evidently made with a revolver. The animal died iu a short time and thcre is no due as yet te the guilty parties. The herse is said te have been insured for $150. Court. This morning court met at 10 o'clock, and besides transacting some current busi ness, they proceeded te argue the cases re maining en the common pleas list. It was announced that Geerge W. Ford Ferd ney had been appointed censtable of the Ninth ward. B. F. Davis, esq., thereupon stated that it was net shown that Win. Titus, who was elected constable of the ward, had resigned, and although he bad removed into another ward, that did net prevent him from serving. The appoint ment was revoked. Last Evening's Storm. The storm was very heavy in the north ern end of the county last evening, and large bail fell between White Oak, Penn township, and Mount Hepe, Lebanon county, doing considerable damage te the crops. The rain was very heavy and the wind blew ever a great number of trees. The rain here was net sufficient te lay the dust. Net Badly Hurt.

Mount Jey has a law and order society. Rew. G. W. M. Riger, of the United Brethren-church, is president, and Chas. Reads, of the Methodist Episcopal ehurch, is secretary. Among the members are many of our most influential citizens. Each landlord and saloon keeper get a notice notifying them of the organization and te fellow the letter of the law relative te miners and Sunday sales. The action of the society has occasioned much town talk. Much speculation was indulged in about reports te the effect that the sell ing of cigars and bretzels en Sunday would be prohibited. These last two named luxuries Mount Jevists could and would net de without, judging from the adverse criticism heard en our streets the lest few days. The action of the league is evidently already of some geed.
