The'iVm .affects to. believe that thero is still time for peace and opportunity for compromise because " the Regulars still Offer the proposition of, a new con vention ; the Independents are still free to accept it ; and it still remains the one hope and assurance of the canvass. The Independent candidates did not pass upon it 'but 'referred it to their committee ; the epinmittee .meets on the 27th." .But the Press knows that the Independent candidates did virtually " pass upon it" by, their reply to the Regulars ; and that they decline to withdraw and provide for new con vention unless Beaver ami his associates refuse to.be candidates. This they will not do, and that settles it.- It may suit the Press to sjt out on the fence a whjje longer, but if it does not soon get down the procession will have passed and it will be compelled to fall into line at the tail end 1 ' Ud3eii&ea indeed if the 'quai rel between the Stalwarts and Indepen dents to taeJef ablicaa party should re veal the fact that on his death bed the late Gen. Garfield repented , of the part be had taken ia?the electoral struggle of 1876-1877, when, by the abuse of power and under the threats of bayonets, fraud first became triumphant in the seating of a president. Such a disclosure' would only reflect credit on the' dying man. Gifted by nature with an amiable dis position it can easily be understood how, when the asperities of political strife be came, mellowed in the twilight of life, he could review only with remorse the part he had taken in helping to seat a man, not elected, and in sitting, in judgment mpon evidence which he admitted he had framed as counsel. aSor did it rc quire the clear sight of prophecy, which is said to come, to men in the shadow of death, to enable one to foresee the cer tainty of political retribution upon the , party responsible for that great wrong. -It has .been seen- what -use the Stal warts are making of Gen. Garfield's let' rerto " Dear Hubbell" in1 '1880, inquir ing what the departments are doing and encouraging jthe Star Routers to respond liberally in answer to the same kind of circulars that Hubbell is now sending out.

In such event it will be advantageous' to the Independents and creditable to the memory of the dertpesidsdb jif itcan.be shown that his later thoughts and his feelings on his death-bed were not in sympathy with the Stalwart modes by which Mr. Hayes was counted in. , When General Beaver addressed a company of Confederate .soldiers at Car lisle, some ,years ago, he frankly told tbem that there were some things on their side he could never get over. So it teems there are some things in Beaver's record, that the Independent RepUbli caas cannot get over ; for example, his vote for Grant; his 'acceptance of a sen atorial nomination in Don!

It is to the effect that while yet in his full senses, but convinced thatj he .could . not recover, he vxpreseed not Only 'regret but deep contrition; for the part which he had borne in depriving President Tildenof the office to which be was elected in 1876. It will be remembered that Mr. Garfield was one of the "visiting 'statesmen" who thrast themselves into, the canvass of the vote of Louisiana in that year, bringing out "evidence ?' of "bulldozing" in some ofthe'rural, parishes, and in particular thatof the old colored woman whom Mr.. Garfieid.ezamwed, "not," ,hesaid "as a judge, but as a lawyer." It is now related that, feeling that he could not recover, that his death must take plaoa within a few days, he talked with his attendants about his public career as well as his personal affairs! It is sakb npbn.aathoritytthatlhave no reason to doubt, that he showed himself sincerely penitent for' the part which be took in the great fraud of 1876. He re garded that as the one great stain upon his publie career; and he made some reference to documents which he. felt sure wpnld serve to mitigate the judgment 'of posterity'' upon him. lie expressed the r greatest apprehension that at no distant period an avenging Nemesis would visit upon his party and friends a terrible rW venge for that wrong. Those who listened to him were his personal and political friends ; they regarded the words and emotions of Garfield as the effect of physi cal weakness and long suffering, and agreed to be silent regarding them. But in the quarrels that have arisen between the Stalwarts and the Halt-Breeds they have been repeated, and are at length the subject of discussion in private circles. At no distant day some authorized publi. cation on tbe subjeot may be expected. PERSONAL. Julia, the youngest daughter of Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, died at Dublin, Ji. H., last Saturday evening.

CURED Br FAITH. A Young Woman Arise troin a Sick Bed. The power of imagination has been well tested in Erie. MissE. Greyson, bed ridden with spinal disease for many years, decided to try the prayer cure, against the wishes oT her physician, who finally con sented, however, to make arrangements for simultaneous prayer in her behalf at eight o'clock last Sunday night. The lady was greatly excited but full of confi dence iu the Scripture and believed that the prayer of faith would save tbe sick. Assembling her relatives aud friends at the hour named, she bade them stand still and behold the salvation of God. At six minutes past eight o'clock she arose from J uoi vcu, uuui nuicu tuiu uau uus arisen for three years, and walked in their midst, a well woman. Two skeptical sisters were immediately converted and fell upon their knees, asking forgiveness for unbe lief. It happened, however, that tho doc tor's arrangements for prayer miscarried and no prayers were made. TheVcuro of tbe lady and tho conversion of tho sisters are rejoiced at all the same MysMttous Wrecks.

SaIoSIjL t" ?Z HMMM && GHOTOaf tA coans a slaiK lXt at'tV The body of the Earl of: Crawford and Balcarres, which was stolen some months since from the family vault at Dunecht house, Aberdeenshire,, was found in the groands'of the house.' Amaaisusfectea of connection with the theft was arrested. The robbery of the Earl of Crawford's body was a striking instance .of the suc cess and daring of thieves, whose charac ter and skill were as much a mystery to the detectives of Scotland Yard as to the ordinary newspaper readers. The earl's death occurred at Florence, Italy, in De cember, '1880, and attracted widespread notice at the time on account of the emi nence of the deceased, and the wealth and high station of his family. In her solici tude for the safe conveyance of her hus band's remains back to England, tbe countess of Crawford gave directions that a triple casket be made, with ah outer one of walnut, on which a large cross was carved in relief. The remains were embalmed, then encased in a leaden sealed casket, and special privileges, which were accorded by the Italian railway com panies, rendered the journey both safe and expeditious. The conveyance of the ie mains across the Alps was a work of very great difficulty, but under the care of the confidential servant of the deceased they reached France in safety. A small steamer was chartered to convey the body to Lon don, but she encountered such a violent gale in orossinsr the .channel that 'the coffin bad to be lashed on deck. The removal to Aberdeen was safely effected. There another difficulty presented itself. No hearse large enough to receive the outer coffin could be procured, and the outer shell had to be removed. It was, howeverj afterwards deposited in the crypt along side the three coffins in which the remains were encased. On the day that the body was removed from Aberdeen to Dunecht ono of the most violent snow storms ever experienced in Scotland broke out, and to such a depth did the snow accumulate that on tne return journey the hearse was em bedded by the wayside, and remained for several days in tbe snow before it could be removed to Aberdeen, and the men who accompanied suffered great harships. Under those auspices tbe body of the dead earl found a resting placo at last on tho family estate. The vault in w'hioh tho remains were placed was built under the chapel which adjoins Dunecht house. The chapsi was visited daily by tbe earls family and ten ants, and any interference with tbe tomb, it would seem, would have been instantly observed. But on the night of November 30 the chapel was entered, four heavy slabs of marble, weighing noarly a ton, mdved off the vault, three caskets opened and the remains of the dead earl carried awav The leaden casket was sewed in twain, the lids of tho wooden ones neatly unscrewed and the rest of tho work ac complished by the ghouls skillfully and without the least violence. The object of the thieves clearly was money, and the opinion was that they mutt nave been well acquainted with tbe district. That several persons were engaged in the robbery was pretty certain, Tbe slabs were of Caithness stone, very heavy, being six leet square and seveial inches thick. Dunecht house is about a mile from the road, and so the thieves might carry on their operations unmolested by the public; but the fact of the chapol being connected with tho house made it a matter of cer tainty that the theft must have been per petrated during the night. Tho deceased carl being a spare man the' thieves would be able to carry off the body all the more easily. On December 1, a laborer passing the spot noticed the disturbance of the vault, and it was soon found that the re mains of the earl had disappeared. The most extraordinary feature of the case was that iu May preceding the agent for the present earl of Crawford and balcarres re ceived an anonymous letter informing him that the tomb had been opened and the body removed, but regarding the matter as a hoax he took no notice ot it and did not even make inquiries, although during the summer a strong smell was noticed issuing from the vault, which was attri buted to tbe decay of the flowers. Contrary to expectation aud, perhaps, to precedent, the present carl offered no re ward for tbe return of his father's body, but trusted to tbe resources of Scotland Yard to discover tho identity of the thieves. Detectives wore employed to follow up every clew, and numerous ar rests were made, but to uo avail At ouo time it was supposed that the thieves. had escaped to the United States, taking the ghastly burden with them. Scotland Yary entered into communication with 2few York police, and officers were on tho alert on both sides of tbe Atlantic, but it now trauspires tho remains were probably in sale keeping within a few miles ot Dunecht house, aud the efforts, ot the police wero as aimless as the plans of the thieves were well-laid but fruitless. The surprising conclusion is, that tho robbers, having failed to derive any reward, should have the audacity to return their booty to the grounds of Dunecht house Worse and More of It. New Xork Herald. The venerable Simon Cameron, who still aspires to carry the key of tbepsn in which his ambitious son locks up Pennsyl- vania's Republican votes, is reported to have said recently that if ueneral beaver should be defeated lor the governorship of Pennsylvania this year he will be nomi nated for the presidency iu 1884. This is worse than had been expected. A tri umph of the clan Cameron in Pennsylva nia this year would bo fully as severe a blow as the Republican party could hope to recover from ;bnt tho nomination of a small man for the presidency for tbe rea son that he would probably make a single state solid for the Republican party, and solider still in the great quadrennial raid on tho offices at the disposal of the' gov ernment, is about as dismal a prospect as the party of moral ideas ever had before it. DETEBBUNKU ON SOIClDK. Trying to Strangle HeraeU With Her Hair. Mary McGee, a good-looking young woman, confined in the Hudson county jail on Jersey City Heights, awaiting an examination by the county physician as to her sanity, was found hanging to a bar of her cell door, but was cut down in time to save her life. After she had been resus citated, and as soon as she was left alone in tho cell, she made another attempt to kill herself. She let down her long hair, and after braiding it, twisted it around her neck and tried to strangle herself. She was again prevented from carrying out her purpose, and was placed in a straight jacket. She lived in Harrison, and pre vious to her incarceration attempted to throw herself from the Morris and Essex railroad bridge into the Passaic river. Dis appointment in love is said to have caused her derangement. -. Uettlng a Carriage by Her Cooking.

A UKTKB.1IIMEU ELOl'KiUKNT. A follceman Arresta Ills Knraged JTwthcr In-Law for disorderly (Jouuuct. Baltimore Dispatch to the Times; Sunday night Milliard F. Watkins, a policeman of this city, eloped with Miss Alary Catherine j owner, daughter of Jas. jj. J owner, a liquor dealer, living at' .No. 41 Pennsylvania avenue. The policeman, who bears an excellent character for el- liciency ana steadiness, had been paying attentions to the young lady'for several months unknown to the. J? owner family, ana lormauy asaea permission to marry her, but was repulsed. Since the 1st of July the two have been planning for a marriage, which was' to have taken place at High Rock, on the' summit of tbe Blue Kidge mountains, July 6. The license had been procured and everything was in readiness, when Mrs. Fowner, suspecting something, announced her determination to accompany the couple on the excursion, which had been arranged as a prelude to the wedding. Finally, on Sunday last it was arranged that the girl should leave her home alter dark and join her lover and a fellow- polioemin, who awaited her iu the vicinity. This she did, and tho party hurried to the parsonage of Emory church, where they wero man led by tbe pastor, Kev. b. oban non. During the ceremony Mr. Fowner missed the girl and immediately hurried to the home of Watkins, whero he sus pected they had taken refuge. Failing to find them there, ho was returning home when he encountered the bridal party just coming irom tbe wedding. , ' Kat ie, what are you doing here ?" de manded tho father, taking her by the arm ; "come home at once." " Keep your hands pft.of my wife," said Watkins. thus nostinir the oareut as to what had taken placo. Mr. Fowner at once commenced abusing and threatening the girl and her husband, when tbe latter after some expostulation, arrested his father in-law aud took him to the North western police station. Here Mr. Fowner was charged with disorderly conduct and witb interfering with Officer Watkins and his wife on the street. When the facts had been explained to the: lieutenant iu charge Mr. Fowner was held until tho newly married couple had left the station house aud disappeared, when he was re leased. Young Watkins took his bndo home in triumph, aud the next day published notices of the marriage in the papers. The groom is a nephew of Rav. Dr. W- F.

Great excitement was created in Hon treal, by tbe occurrence of a case of kid. napping, similar in all respects to 'that of Charlie Ross, at Philadelphia. The house in the West End of Mr. Melvin Smith, a Boston capitalist, who has lived there for years, was broken into and Mr. Smith's third child, a boy three years old, was kidnapped. A letter was left behind threat ening the child with death in two days unless a ransom of $10,000 was paid for his restoration. The kidnappers got into the second flat, where the ;boy' , slept, by means of a ladder placed uuder the window. The green blinds as cus tomary there were shut and buttoned on the inside. Two slat's were cut out and the button unfastened within. The kidnap pers then entered without difficulty, went through Mrs. Smith's room to the nursery, where the three children were sleeping in separate cribs, and, taking the youngest, they made good their retreat. They were not heard or observed, although the mother and grandmother of tbe children were sit ting reading in an adjoing room, the door of which was open, besides, tb,ere were three servants in the kitchen down stairs. It is supposed that the ohild was kidnapped between 9 and 10. The letter referred to makes threats against the father of the child if he fails to comply with the demand for ransom or if he appeals to the authoii ties for redress. Within a few years Mr. Smith has met with a series of misfortunes. The lust was an incendiary fire in an extensive liv ery stable, iu which he was a silent part ner, and by which he lost $15,000.
