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.

(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.

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 line of march was up Bread strict te
Columbia avei.ue and return. Publio and
private buildings along the route were deco
rated with flags and bunting, and the side
walks were thronged with people. The
column marched six abreast, the Master of
each ledge walking in the rear. The divis
ion marshals also walked, though their
aids were mounted. Bands of music were
thickly interspersed throughout tke line.
The members of tbe Grand Ledge were
serenaded in the Masonic Temple while
their brethren were parading. Grand Mas
ter Samuel B. Dick welcomed his fellow
members and cengratukted them upon the
success that has attended the organization
for 150 years past. He was followed by
Pearson Church, president judge of Craw
ford county, who made an interesting ad
dress en the " Growth of Grand Ledges"
Addresses were made by Themas J. Clay Clay
eon, president judge of Delaware county,
en "The Grand Masters of tbe Grand
Ledge of Masens of Pennsylvania," and by
Samuel Harper, upon "The Relation of
Subordinate Ledges te the Grand Ledge."
At the conclusion of the address an anthem
was sung and the benediction pronounced.
An interesting feature at these exercises
was the presentation of a gavel te the
Grand Ledge, the gift of the Masonic
Veterans' association. The gavel is made
from oue of the columns that steed in the
old Masonic hall en Filbert street, which
has been recently tern down. The column
was of hard weed, and from it were made
two gavels, one te be used by tbe Vet
erans at their meetings and the ether pre
sented te the Grand Ledge. The latter is
very handsomely mounted with bands of
silver, and en the outer rim is affixed a
Veterans' badge. The presentation was

dress, and ivceived en the part of the
Grand Ledge by Samuel B. Dick, grand
master.

their conclusion the Grand Ledge marched
te the Academy of Music at the head of
the parading Masens, who bad counter
marched from Columbia avenue. The
Grand Ledge entered by the Locust Btreet
doers, and uii- upon the stage ; but the
Masens who had been three hours in
the broiling sun were by this time se
exhausted that they bad no relish for
speeches, no matter hew learned and witty
they might be. When the marching was
ever the meu bought tbeir respective head
quarters, where refreshments awaited
them. As a consequence the audience at
the Academy was limited. The welcome
address was delivered by Grand Master
Dick.
Governer Heyt then spoke upon "Mas
enry, ana its Keiatiens te the uuter
World." He said that it was the design
of Masens te lend a helping band te their
needy bretbien. whether in the fraternity
or out of it. Without insisting upon the
antiquity of Masonry, the governor in
sisted upon the antiquity of the reasons
underlying it, and the indentity of its doc
trines aud methods with the needs of hu
manity. The remainder of the pregramme in the
Academy consisted of a "Chorus of Pil
grims" by the vocalists ;au address by the
Hen. Henry W. Williams, president judge
of the fourth district of Pennsylvania ; a
cantata,- "Te the Sens of Art," and an
