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. Jt-draw so much fire, and
excited so much ridicule that by the
time it got to the country press it was
rather stale and the Republican press of
the state has refused to print it, some of
the newspapers publicly" Arraigning
Cooper for so far presuming on their
stupidity as,to make .such a request of
them. 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-

state, . and too cry of " Maryland, my

contest be had no seal, no hearty interest
in, or sympatbyiwitb, tbe patriotic reeling
which togged at the heart of every Penn

The hopeless straits ta which the op
posiUsn.are driven,. when they,, have to
resorted jnuk Btuff ibJsV .will -appear
when 'k -Is' rememaersd- that:wben tbe
war broke out Pattison was a little over
ten years old and when it closed he was
a little .over, fourteen The ascription
to him of" rebel sympathies " is a pure
invention, 'uuriug tne enure war
period he was. a schoolboy, inPhiladel
phia, where his father was a pious, pop
uiar and patriotic Methodist preacher.
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

visible signs of material prosperity.

A rain splitting tbeologe at Now Haveu
once asked President Porter, after a lec

that feareth God and worketh righteous,

that holds good even in Conc3rd."
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.

Billy Madden on behalf of John L. Sulli

asked him" to "do: u Besides1 if there
had been aHimekeeperselected, in'additida
to the referee, Sullivan wodld haVe wohi
but it was next to' .impossible for 'Harry
Hill to fill both positions.at the same time
although be did' the best bb 'could with
justice to both parties. 1 'do not think
Sullivan lostycasle, because he failed to
stop the English champion in four rounds.
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. Yours respectfully,
William Madden.
Desperate Struggle Wltn a Unrglar.
At Cohoes, N. Y., tbe house of Charles
Rodgcrswas ransacked by masked bur
glars at night. Mr. Rodgers sdrprised one
of the burglars at work and a terrible
struggle ensnod. ' The thief tried to use a
dirk-knife with an eight-inch blade, but
was unsuccessful. His pal came to his
assistance and both made their escape A
hat found, bearing the retail dealer's
name, led to the information that it bad
been purchased a few days previous by
William Murphy, who was recently re
leased from the penitentiary. The sus
pected party was arrested at his homo in
Cohoes and in bis possession were several
articles which were identified by Mr.
Rodgers.

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

LEAK AND JNEV1M.
The War or Words Waxing Hotter.
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 Salt which Grew me Catholic t? at eral
Service. ' '
Rev. M. C. StaatouV of St. ,Mary's
Roman Catholic church. Coxsaokie. N. Y .
has begun suit against Bishop -Hclntyre
oiaViuany, io restrain toe ummjcuuw ycc-r
venting Father Stanton from onteiating,as
pastor,, of ' the. church. .Tto,, immediate
cause OI WO trouble was. in regaiu turue
last offices to bo performed tor one, of .hit
parishiohers'a Mrs. Purteu,.for whosa.he
refused'to say mass after baving.some 'dif
ficulty during tbe latter part of, her final
sickness. The Purtell family took the
matter to the bishop, and be, wrote to
.Father Stanton and sent a priest from
Albany, in case of Father Stanton's re
fusal to comply with the bishop's direc
tion to perform the funeral rites. 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.

be retained by them, or transferred to any
other company on the ground that 'they
were originallyobtained through Congress
from the government of the United States
by bribery and fraud ; and that in recog
nition of tbe broad and fundamental prin
ciples of law .that fraud vitiates '.All
contracts, there is then no direct or im
plied obligation rcsting,upon the govern
ment upon wliich any extension JdfHime
for utilizing any such grant of lands to
said, company, or a transfer lto any other
companycan be" claimed or justified as
tbe following history of the legislation by
whioh their grauta were obtained will
clearly indicate. 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. Your memoralist avers that the pas
sage of said Texas Pacific bill was
procured and obtained by these moans and
instrumentalities, documentary proof of
which, with names of witnesses, I am now
ready to lay before a fully authorized
coramitteo, who may be empowered' to
iond for persons, books and papers.

Last evening the 6:45 train from Col

fishermen who had been spending tbe
week at poiats along the river from Har
bor to Fite's Eddy.' They were sun
browned but a jolly-looking set, and all
enthusiastic over their sport. The begin
ning of tho week the water was a trifle
too high and cloudy for first class fishing,
but by Wednesday it was in good
condition, and large fish and long
strings -were tho order as far
down as Hartman's Island Tucquan
below which point the fish did not bite
so well. John B. Roth, of the York Fur
nace party, took the cake with a- 21b Goz.

the party at Hartman's Island with a two
pounder. At the latter place -the sport
was excellent on Thursday and nday.and
large numbers were caught by the Lancas

up from McCall's.Ferry, and points below.
This was formerly 'the location of tbe
York Furnace party aid is really one of
the prettiest points on the river. It is
owned by Casper Hartman, formerly of
Rooky Springs, who has cultivated and im

the way of beds, board, boats and bait.

A fight ensued. Jason belabored the bull,

" histed " him and then "douced " him,t
badly s goring hinV about; the throat add j
neck,- tramping upon him and tearing his
pantaloons from waist to instep. Tho
bull believing, probably, , that be bad
killed Mr: -Bolton; left him, and the latter
mora dead than alive, made his escape.
Fortunately the sharp tips of the bull's
horns had been sawed off. Had they not
bpeu the consequences might bavo been
more serious.
