' It is a pity a wouuded soldier should get so knocked about, as the general is, iu the home of his friends as well as his foes. We do really think that the Inde pendents who go up to him and tell him to his face that they won't vote for him because he is Cameron's dog, ought to have more consideration. To vote against, him and defeat him is bad enough ; to defeat him and vote him a cur is tod hard. A wounded soldier should not bo treated like a. dog. What Hay be Expected. The other day Chairman Cooper wrote au editorial for his Media weekly paper and was so tickled withit tiiat herepror uucea uio circular, imsuqu joe gen eral circulation aud editorial publication over the state t Some Bulletin reporter stumbled mtob!eadijisrterk,! got a copy of the document and published it rather prematurely.

The Williamsport Gukette anil Bulleiin, which now seems to-be without a responsible -editor and which shows au especialiy'reckless degree of mendacity, uses the Cooper circular for original edi ? torial matter and thereby makes itself responsible for the .following paragraph Again, in the late contest for national existence, the contest which severely and thoroughly triodnaen'a souls, Beaver, like a true Penn,sylyRlan. rallied to the sap- Wkfw& tf sStei Mfttintru'ii wln . etiln l.k t f aoj-tst ft wi wuuvj a uvgk1 nuiiu ,. eeuiwvfu, like a true son of Maryland, cave bis syni pathies to the rebel sentiatent of his native state, . and too cry of " Maryland, my Maryland !" stirred up iu his soul what. ever enthusiasm be is capable or.

We have no doubt that before the cam paign is over Cooper will be chargiug that Pattison is the hoary-headed chief of a municipal ring of .thieves which plun dered Philadelphia for years until Beaver was elected controller and put an end to them; that he . was in the Legislature anu votcu HHuie,nue minion mil anu the riot loss bill ; that he went to the Chicago convention1 representing Blaine constituents and1 voted for Grant, and tnat.be u president of tbe trustees of an agricultural college-which draws $80,000 one scuaenc pursuing an agricultural course.

Tub Troy Telegram is a staunch Repub lican paper, but Hubbell is too much for it.

It is stated that Arabi Bey is negotiat ing with a lecture bureau for a prolonged engagement in this country. After tho British gunboats had finished demolishing his .fortifications and he had got beyond range" of their ' death dealing shells, be caused tbe rumor to be circulated among the natives that the English troops bad been defeated, that eight iron-clads were sunk, two burued and four captured, and that the latter would be brought to Cairo. It is on this brilliant record that the enter prising Americans want to secure his services and star him against Eli Perkius as the champion liar of tbe century. Senator Ingalls does not always ap pear to good advantage in discussing questions of legislative morality, but he has achieved a very honorable distinction as the unsparing censor of the swindle known as tho river and harbor appropria tion bill. It is refreshing to find the statement made in open Senate that the members of theconferccoe committee have taken care of their own states " notably, conspicuously, and shamelessly," tho bill itself being characterized as a " degraded, base, and shameless" one. The adjectives are perhaps more vigorous than choice, but they certainly give expression to a great deal of honest indignation which this monstrous offspring of log-rolling has ex cited in the public mind.

What' pugilist ever succeeded in knocking out another inside of fifteen minutes' with soft boxing gloves? JohnL.'BuIllvan,';if the English champion bad stood up, would have knocked him 'out in two rounds, aU though out 'of condition. Sullivan has done more knocking out than any other pugilist whoever' lived;- and if he bad used as good judgment as in former con tests be would have won easily, as he al ways did before. "Tug" Wilson and his backer's challenge to fight for $3,500 a side in four months from sign ing articles is unreasonable. I will match Sullivan to fight "Tng" Wilson for 15,000 a side, and not a cent less, the baU tie to take place within 500 miles from Kansas City, in eight weeks from signing articles. If "Tug"' Wilson and his backers mean business, all they have to do is to post $1,000 with Harry Hill. In ra gard to the offer to give the English champion another tril at sparring .in Jour three-minute rounds, I would say that wo are not eager for such a match, but as "Tug" Wilson's admirers and tbe sport, ingpublio may think ,that 'Sullivan 'is afraid that be cannot knock' him ont of time with soft gloves on his hands, I will accept the offer, providing " Tug" Wilson and bis backer will allow Al Smith or some nthr responsible man to be' the time keeper and Harry Hill to be referee, as ho cannot possibly fill both positions satisfac torily. If Wilson agrees to these terms, and they are only fair, I will meet him or his representative at Harry Hill's on Monday evening next, at 8 o'clock, to ar range the match.

At New Windsor, on the Newburg branch of the .hrie railroad, a wagon con taining two women and five children was struck by a locomotive and the occupants were more or less injured. It is believed, however, that none recoived fatal injuries. A babe a few months old was thrown thirty feet away and except being stunned for a few minutes was unharmed. Killed by a Mill Shaft. In Jersey City, Jacob Ergerdnigh, aged fifty, of New York, while adjusting a belt on a pulley, in Holhngswonli s mill, on Ninth street, was caught in the shafting and whirled violently around a number of times, his head striking the ceiling at each revolution. Death must have been instantaneous, for when the machinery was stopped his sknll was crushed out of shape. A Policeman Rescues JBhnt Children.

If things keep on as they have been going there is a prospect of pistols and coffee being needed for ex-Attorney Gen eral Lear and Major Nevin, tho surveyor of tbe port of Philadelphia. Some time ago Mr. Nevin, iu his paper, the Ecenmg Neves, denominated Mr. Lear as a jackass. This allusion caused tho ex-attornoy gen. eral to pin back his ears and winoe. Now he says he will not take the stump for the Beavor ticket unless the remarks are re called and Mr. Nevin is discharged from his place. He insists that the attack of the News was but the reflex of the thought of Don Cameron, and therefore the master shoull be held accountable for the sins of his servant. When Major Nevin read these strictures upon himself he smiled, and, dipping his pen iu a bottle of gall, he replied to Mr. Lear by asserting that at the time the letter of the latter appeared in a certain newspaper the prevailing idea was that he was "a jackass." In conclusion the major added : "It can now with propriety be said that what tbe tlon. Ueorge Lear seemed to need Wa slightsurgical operation, repeated at regular intervals, before each of his public utterances a strong hypodermic injection of common sense. This' should certainly be insisted on before he should be permitted to take the stump and if he takes the stump he shouldn't take auy thing else." A MAM WITH'THREE WIVES. Edward L.lppiacott !

Father Stanton refused, and also declined to open the church, which was then forcibly entered aud the service performed byJthe bishop's representative. , Father Stanton was cited before thp bishop, and, proving unsubmissive, was suspended and, silenced on Mondey morn ing. Father Walsh, ,of the cathedral, and Father Welch, appeared, and demanded tbe key 8 of tho church from Father Stan ton. They delivered a letter from th bishop, which Father Stanton refused, to accept, and denied the request for the keys. Entrance to the church was then effected, and services were held, with Walsh as pastor of tho parish. , Father Stanton denies many of tbe charges against, him, and claims that he has been misrepresented and unjustly dealt Wtb, and hence the suit.

The act of Congress making land grants ink aid of the con struction of .the Texas and Pacific rairead. passed the senate on the 29th day of June 1870, and as the House on the .thud; daj of March, 1879, becoming a law at 'the lat ter date. It became evident to the friends of ihe.bilL up?a tits introduction early inWifefaBjpiou'of 1819 and 187(4 that it would meet with strong opposition, and it was feared successful opposition. Iu order to successfully combat with such and secure tbe passage of the bill, a num ber of tbe persons named as corporators in the bill raised the sum of $90,000 iu cash and mado a written agreement on the 7th day of Juno, 1860, to issue two hundred thousand dollars of first mortgage land grant bonds of the company, which, with the money named were to be used in buying votes to secure the passage of the bill by the Senate. The money and tbe agreement were deposited in the hands of two gentlemen. Of tbe $90, 000 so deposited the sum ot 862,000 was paid to a senator to be divided by him with three other members of (that body.'! The agreement above refarred to provided that the whole amount of said 8200,000 of said bonds should be delivered to tbe senators referred to who were to distribute them to other members of that body who voted for and assisted in passing said bill, and wero so to be received. In the month of December, 1870, a bond was executed by one of said incorporators in the sum of one million of dollars, guaranteeing tbe issue of tbe first mort gage land grant bonds of the Texas Pacific railway company to that amount and whioh were to be used in buying the bill through the House, and one of said corporators contracted to distribute the said amount to members in the House, and for such services he was to receive ten percent, on the amount distributed by him, and he now holds the said contract, a portion of whioh has been paid to1 'him by the ,Tuxas Pacific company. Ilfbayo his letter to that effect. ' Arrangements were made with over thirty members of Congress to vote for the bill, in consideration of the future pay ment to each of them of said bonds in specified amounts,, and the (books of said Texas Pacific railroad will show the names of the parties and the amount re ceived by them. It is well known that the Texas Pacific railroad bill was passed and became a law at this session of Congress, standing on "record the third of March, 1871.
