.,,,,,.., LANCASTEB DALLY INTELLIGENCER, THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1882. ...tusici tiuclliacnra THURSDAY KVKN1NU, AUG. 10, 168?. KepaMtcaa Extravagance. Senator Allison, chairman of the Sen a'e committee on appropriations, states tbe net increase of appropriation for 1883 over 1882 to be $77,532,621.34. That is a serious record for a Republican sen a'or to have to make and a serious one for the party to face. Senator Allison charges gross extravagance upon bis party and tbe country will reecho tbe charge. Placed anew in power in Con gress, after a term of Democratic con trol, tbe Republican party emerges at tbe end of its first year with such a rec ord as this. In a time of peace and with no excuse for extraordinary expenditure, the cost of the government to tbe people has been increased seventy-seven mil lions of dollars. The Democracy, when it came into the control of legislation, made its effort to obtain the confidence of the people in the line of retrenchment. The Republican party seems to consid er that this Democratic policy was not one worthy of imitation. Perhaps the leaders were encouraged to this opinion by the fact that they bad beaten the Democrats, notwithstanding their good record for economy in national expendi ture. They appear to think that they know a trick better than that to retain control of power. Their policy is to purchase support by liberal ex penditure. They make the money and expect it to reap Republican votes. In pursuance of this idea they started out at the beginning of this Congress to make its record for extravagance just what it is. They selected a man for their leader in the House who stood be fore the country with a taller reputation for lavish expenditure of public moneys than any other man in the nation. The ex-secretary of the navy organized the House with the countenance of the ad- ministtatiou, placing in the speaker's chair a wan believed to be incompetent, who ban since fully demonstrated his incompetence and whose only rccoinmcu dation was his servile trustworthiness to the men who put him in place. That, too, he has fully demonstrated. Robeson has been his master and he and his friends were put in the important places on the chief committees, which were so made as to secure, so far as possible, the success of the schemes for raiding the treasury upon which the combination was formed. The country is fortunate that, after this capture of the strong places in the House by this band of robbers, it has nob been more severely fleeced. Many of these schemes miscarried. The repute of Robeson in the administration of the navy heavily handicapped bim in his recommendation of appropriations for that favorite and early selected pasture field of the rob bers. The rich pasture is not there ; and the seventy-seven millions that are lying around in divers places are not in the best situation to advance the purpose of the Republican rogues to make money for themselves and votes for their party. They have the record of this extrava gance to meet, but are without the con trol of the heavy amount of cash needed to make successful their plans to pur chase their retention in power. Mr. Robeson goes back to New Jersey to find bis seat hotly contested in bis own party, and he has nothing much more available than his share of the tur nip seeds of the agricultural bureau, which he is pouring into his district, to buy the favors'of the voters. The big appropriations for his monitors are not free to pour out upon the thirsty Jersey sands, though the adjacent Delaware ship builders doubtless will subscribe literally to return Robeson in view of what he has done for them, what he hoped to do and what they hope he may yet do. It will be strange if in the coming elections the contrast that is so strik ingly presented between the Democratic and Republican practice and precept in the matter of government expenditure does not restore tho Democratic major ity in Congress. The difference is writ ten so plainly that he who runs may read. During the six years that the Democrats had a majority in Congress the voice of their leaders was for econ omy consistently and steadily. That is tbe foundation rock of the public reputa tion of their speaker, Mr. Randall, and of other notable leaders, such as Mr. Holman, of Indiana. The record of their Congresses was in accord with this pro claimed Democratic devotion to econ omy ; as is indisputably demonstrat ed by tbe fact that tho first succeeding RepublicanCongress swelled;the national expenditure seventy-seven millions, and would have increased it much more had the Republican leaders bad their own way altogether. Nothing could be more convincing and eloquent in portray ing the positions of the two par ties, the one for economy, the other for extravagance. There they stand choose ye between them. Gen. Wakren will be buried in civ ilian attire and withoutiuilitary display in acordance with his desire. He was tired, he declared, of everything pertain ing to the military life. And no wonder ; an officer of distinguished talents and well-earned reputation, be had suffered for all the years since the war, under the un j ust reputation of incapacity in the dis charge of bis duty as general, put upon bim by a man inferior to him in every way, save perhaps in that dash and en ergy which seem peculiarly necessary to a military commander. It has time and again been demonstrated that a compar atively small amount of mental capacity will serve to make a successful general if it is supplemented by an abundance of the qualities that are held in common with the brute creation notably cour age, selfishness, activity and alertness. Under these circumstances it need not be surprising that a soldier at the close of his career should express bis disgust with his profession. It is far more surpris ing that so many intellectual men devote themselves to it. The army is a very good place for tbe Grants and Sheridans, who are fitted to shine iu it, and to shine no where else. It is a good, comfortable place n time of peace and a brilliant one in time of war, if an officer is fitted to make tbe situation available. But where is its attraction, upon the whole, to a man who aims to make his life useful, and who has talents that can but rust in the army in peaceful times, aud are not those particularly wanted in a leader in war? General Warren is right in con sidering it a particularly mean provision for all except a particularly mean class of men which is the class of successful generals, who succeed only by a particu larly brilliant brutality of disposition. It is not the place for independent men, who do not love to be kicked around themselves or to kick others around. It is the place for kickers and kickees ; the last becoming the first as they go up ; but not amiable and decent gentlemen. Would-be Governok Stewart in vites Would-be Governor Beaver to meet him on the stump, and proposes to invite Would-be Governor Pattison. What Beaver may do we know not, and he knows not, but he will ask Quay. Nor do we know what Pattison may do, but thiuk that ho will ask nobody whether he shall perambulate tbe state, seeing that he is a busy public servant and his business is in Philadelphia. TnE "reunion" of tbe Malley jury is met by tbe suggestion that tbe Malley boys and Blanche uow have theirs, with the ghost of their victim at tbe bead of the tablo to enliven the proceedings. It is intimated in some quarters that Candidate Stewart ineaus well but he don't know. Certainly he cannot have forgotten tho mystic message or Quay : " Dear Beavm Don't talk." Leak's speech in Bucks county will bo likely to call forth a burst of sulphurous syntax against tho "dam literary fellers" who in former days were wont to stir tbe wrath of tho head of the family. Bin. Thomas Valentine Coopkii, lato of Ohio, hasn't been heard from for some time, but a noble opportunity is af forded his famous literary bureau by the letter of Stewart. Just see the blonde field marshal knock the kicking candidate sky high. The Ohio Democrats aro now claiming that they will carry thirteen congressional districts iu October. Tho delegation at present stands fifteen Republicans to five Democrats, owing to the infamous gerry mander of the state perpetrated by tho last Republican Legislature. Lightning stiuck two youug ladies at Chautauqua lako tho other day, but the energy of tbe subtle fluid was exhausted in tearing up a bloud switch and destroy tbe shoes of the two. Even tho imperious forces of the air exhaust themselves in tho task of destroying so expansive a crea tion as a New York girl's shoe. Republicans iu Garrard county, Ky., worked bard to secure tho closing of saloons on election day, thinking that thus they might the easier gain the victory. But on last Tuesday the experiment of an election without an open saloon was tried for the first time, and tho Democrats gained a complete victory in tho county, for the first time since tho war. It is stated that tho Chicago police aro making out a dog directory, and that in one month they got tho names of the owners of over 20,000 dogs. Tho Tribune says that tile efficiency of the force has im proved greatly since this spring, when it took them several wcoks to make out a directory of a dozen odd gambling bouses and their owners. Tue irreverent Ignatielt proposed to have tbe proceedings of the congress of Berlin set to music by Offenbach. But the imagination stauds aghast at the mag nitude of tbo undertaking as referred to our national circus, by courtesy called Congicss. Keifer expiring to slow music would certainly be a popular number iu the new opera. Sandy Bykum, a colored Ropublicau politician in Northern Alabama, was shot aud killed last Saturday, aud partisan Republican newspapers hastened to at tribute his death to tbe " shot-gun" policy, It now appears that tho mau who killed him, Hewlett, was an ex-deputy marshal, a Republican recently removed from office for cause. Tbo nowspapers that go off at half-cock sometimes hit tho wrong target. Owing to tho number of deaths from lock-jaw, as a consequence of toy pistol wounds, a coroner's jury in Now York yesterday rocommonded tho passage of an ordinance forbidding the sale of such deadly weapons in that city. Such a measure will be certain to meet with ap proval iu every section of the country, whore the deadly toy has been tbe cause of so much suffering. The nomination of tbo colored preacher Dawson, as a third candidate between Masscyand Wise, for congressman at-largo in Virginia will, it is conceded, cut down tho latter's vote. That Boss Mahoue lea lizes the importance of great concessions to the negro vote, iu tbe light of Daw- sou's candidacy, appears from the fact that ho is thinking of placing two ucsro candidates in the field iu the districts of Dezendorf and Jorgeusen. Tue postmaster general says that ho will make no prohibition of the carriage of publications through tbo mails uuless such publications have been decided by the courts to be obscene. This decision allows the free transmission of tho works of the "good gray poet," whose "Leaves of Grass" bavo lately received a vast amount of frco puffing through tbe idiotic ruling of the Massachusetts attorney gen eral. Mas. George S. Fox, of Philadolhhia, dreamed on Thursday night that there was a fire in the new Record building. The next morning nows of tbo partial destruc tion of tho Record $ paper mill was re. ccived. Record. This indeed is passing strange, but wo learn of a case reported by a young man in this city, who dreamed the other night that he had killed a com panion, and when he woke up the follow ing morning discovered that they bad eggs for bieakfaBt. Next ! Hobb, of Michigan, jokes to the very edge of the grave which tho majority in Congress have dug for themselves. He laughs at the complaints over a grand total of appropriations ihnng to three hundred million dollars, and asks what better use could be made of the enormous revenues in the treasury than to distribute them and " make glad the hearts of the dwellers on the hill aides." After Mr. Horr's constituency get through with him the general public will be apt to hear tbe customary wail from the Mlchigans jester that he " didn't know it was loaded." PERSONAL. Ex-Governor akdex-Senatob Fenton is expected to re-enter the arena of New York politics this year. Hon. FiiKD-HASSAunEK, editor of the Cincinnati Volksblatt, was yesterday mar ried to Mrs. Marshall, of Madison, Ind. Gen. Warren's funeral will take place on Saturday morning at All Saints' chap el, Newport, R. I. It will not be a military affair. Prof. Boyesen recently returned to this country from Europe, after visiting Norway. That country, it is said, ho be lieves, will soon become a republic. The Eaton family bad a reunion in Boston the other day and a dinner, of course. Otherwise they wouldn't have been true to their name. Laura S. Keyser is the real namo of Louise Montague, the ten-thousand- dollar beauty, who has sue! Adam Forcpaugh, the showman, for $50,000 damages lor breach of contract. Tnos. D.

Lieutenant Governor Stone whiles away tho hours of summer in raising pheasants ou his sylvan retreat near War ren. In tho fall graud sport is anticipated by the crack shots who expect invitations to tho estate when the shooting season begins. Mr. Smith, a Scotch laird, has be queathed tho wholo of his property, about 8500,000, to his servants, a sbepberd re ceiving the bulk. This fortunate legatee has agreed to pay $137,000 to tbo heir at law, and other relatives who would other wise attempt to break tbo will. Henry George, the well kuown Amer ican writer, noted for his radical opinions in social economy, was arrested on Wed nesday at Loughrea, Irelaud. He was in company with Mr. Jayues, master of Eton college, who was also detained under guard. Their baggago was searched aud all their privato papors were read. Georgo protested vigorously. Rev. Father James O'Neil, pastor of St. James' Catholic church iu Philadel phia, who died suddenly at Saratogo Springs, was well-known among tbe Catholics of this city, and was universally popular. As a singer ho is said to bavo been almost without an equal among tbe clergy. His funeral will take place to morrow, and the body will be buried in one of tbe vaults of tbo cathedral. Marshall Wood, a well-known Eng lish sculptor, died at Ottawa, Canada, yesterday. Among his most prominent works are a niarblo bust of a woman called "Tho Song of the Shirt," which is very characteristic of the English school. Ho executed tho statue of Queen Victoria which stands in Victoria square, Montreal, and has made several busts of tho Prince of Wales, one of which, of colossal size, is in tho Guildhall, London. Tuomas Hughes having accepted a county court judgeship in England is con sidered to have retired from activo politi cal life. During his political career be took a prominent part in amending the 1 ws against labor organizations. Twice elected to Parliamcnt,ho yet did not win a prominent place in that body and since 1874 has failed to eaiu a seat. His strong anti-disestablishment opinions and his connection with tho co-operative move ment at different times told powerfully against his prospects. MSAK'S STRONG LANOUAUK. Ilia Scathing Portraiture of niacblne Meth ods. At a gathering of tho Independent "Literary" association at Neshaminy Falls, Bucks county, gotten up in tbe in terest of tbo bi-centennial celebration of tbo settlement of the country, ex-Attorney General Lear was down on the programme for au oration that was in tended to bo of a literary character. Dur iugtho course of his remarks he glided into politics and drow the following por trait that is easily recognized as General Beavers, and a scathing arraignment of the methods by which his nomination was t ecured. Said General Lear : "Public duties," aro prostituted for personal and political ends, aud the local politician is awarded for bis disobedience of tho public will and tbe betrayal of his constituency. Designing men obtain their first hold of political power, and onco inside tho threshold, they proceed to entrench them selves as a geuoral doc3 an array. By a discriminating use of patronage they se cure the most devoted fuglemen in every department of the public service. Political intrigue assumes the disguise of states manship and official jobbory boldly wears the livery of patriotism. The chances for the success of an outrage upon the rights of tbo people increase in the ratio of its enormity. Editors of party organs aro bribed by political appointments and sub sidized by tho patronage of prolligate offi cials, aud woo to tbo man who presumed to assert his manhood by questioning tbe methods or tho qualifications of their masters. He may expect tho wholo pack of subservient curs, 'Tray,' 'Blanche' and ' Sweetheart,' and tho mongrels of lower degree to open upon him with the ribaldry and scurrility which are their fa vorite weapons both for attack and do fensc." WALTKK KAL.E1GU OUTDONE. Itarc Exhibition of Chivalry by a Citizen of jsoston xowu. Boston Journal. Such examples of gallantry as Sir Wal tcr Raleich, who spread his rich cloak in the mud that Elizabeth might walk across the street dry shod, Sir Fedcrigo, who killed his pet falcon in order to prepare a fitting repast for the young widow of his love, aud the others of which history or romance speaks, must take a back seat in tbe Temple of Fame as soon as some poet shall embalm in verso tbe deeds of a well-to-do citizen of Boston. He basnottho figure or appearance commonly attributed to gallants, being, if the truth bo told, somewhat obese and so destitute of hair that his noble brow extends very nearly 1 1 tbe nape of his neck. But he has shown himself capable of rare devotion to the f lir sex, as witnesses to the following oc currences will testify. He went to dine at a restaurant, and opposite to him at the table sat a lovely youug woman. The flicR, as often happens at this time of year, were annoying ; and with the malevolent ingenuity of their kind, seemed to find tbe bald head of our friend a desirable roosting place. Accordingly bo would wildly wavo his napkin about his cranium and drive them away for a time. But presently ho noticed that tho flies, driven from his side of the table, be took themselves to his vis-a-vis, and caused her excessive annoyance. Upon this discovery be made no more assaults upon his tormentors, but during the rest of his meal remained serenely smilinc with the insects conducting exploration parties to all quarters of his skull, and consoling himself for his discomfort by perceiving that they had entirely aban doned tbe society of his companion. WOMAN'S WILES. AIT IDIT. WARJSD FROM TBE SHORE. How a SwlndUas Couple Were Foiled la Their little Omm at Cap May Pickles Tbelr Would-be rrotectors' rocket. On a commitment made out by the mayor of Capo May, on Wednesday, an English couple, by the name of WHliamBs were sent to the county prison at Cape May court house, to await trial on a charge of picking pockets, the informa tion being entered by a Mr. Barr, of Phila delphia. Tho method of operating pur sued by tho parties, according to Mr. Barr's testimony before tbe mayor, was peculiar. On Friday evening last about 'dusk ho was walking along the beach near tbe Stockton houso when he was met by the woman, who is petite and pretty, and under the pretence of having lost her way she enlisted the sympathies of Mr. Barr, who is a gallant bachelor, and got him to walk with her up to Stockton avenue, where she said she was stopping. They camo to a pretty cottage, which afterward turned out to be that of Mr. George D. McCreary, of Philadelphia, tbo gate of which stood invitingly open, aud tbe woman informed her unsuspecting escort that sbo was stay ing there. She stopped inside the eate aud when about to take leave of Mr. Barr suddenly pretended sbo was seized by a spell of faintness, so that that accommo dating gentleman was fain to seize her about tbe waist and support ber until she regained her strength. At this point a man appeared aud de manded roughly to know what thoy did there, saying it was privato property, and ordering them away. The woman fled instantly, but Mr. Barr stood his ground, apologized and explained matters. Then he lelt, when suddenly bo was piompted to feel for his pocket book. It was gone and along with it $70 in greenbacks. He hurried back, but tbo man also bad dis peared. Next day ho saw tho couple bathing together aud at once posted off and secured an officer. They wcro ar rested and taken before the mayor; when upon being searched about$30 of tho money was found upon them. Meantime it leaked out that another prominent Phila delphian had been swindled out of $20 by the woman in tho sarao way a day or two boforo. Ho was summoned by telegraph and fully identified both woman and man. At the request of the mayor J. Grauville Leech, of Philadelphia, appeared for tho couple and secured a reduction of their bail from $1,000 to $500 each, aud also had them kept out of tbe lock-up over Sunday by placing them under tho custody of two special officers pending an effort to got bail. In this they wcro unsuccessful and the mayor commit ted them for trial as stated. A well known Philadelphia ice man was also approached by the woman one evening last week, who endeavored to make a victim of him, but ho was a little too old to bo taken iu and threatened her with arrest, upon which she hastily disappeared. Tho party bavo all tho traits about them of English pro fessionals. NEWS MISCELLANEY. Items of V.rloat Sorts Gathered From the P1U1UID& Mails.

The following is the text of the letter of Candidate Stewart to Candidate Beaver proposing a joint discussion upon the stump : Chambebsuuro, Pa., August 8, 1882. General James A. Beaver. Dear Sir : With a viow to secure united Republican action at the approaching election, I joined in a communication several weeks ago ad dressed to yourself and your, colleagues upon the ticket nominated by the Harris burg convention, proposing the. voluntary withdrawal of all candidates, and a new convention under new rules. No reply has been received from tho parties addressed, and from your continued silence I assume that none is contemplated, and that onr proposition is not entertain ed. I accept it, therefore, as your deter mination to assert your candidacy regard less of all results. Such a course on your part necessarily imperils Republican suc cess, and can be justified only by the gravest public considerations. Doubtless you believe these to exist, and are willing to submit them to public discussion. Being myself a Republican candidate for the same high office to which you have been nominated, and feeling justified in asserting my candidacy, our appeal must bo to the enlightened judgment of tho people. That each may havo the fullest oppor tunity to vindicate his own political ac tion and tho causo be represents, I beg to propose a joint discussion with you of our political differences, at such places aud times, and under such regulations as may be agreed upon by tho chairmen of tbe re spective committees. Awaiting your reply, I am, your obedi cnt servant, John Stewart. POLITICS OCT OK TUB STATE. The Indtaua Republicans Hold Their Con vention.

Everything to Encourage tho Democrat. rbilaUelplilaChronicIe-Heralil. The infusion of young blood into tho coming state canvass is likely to be pro ductive of tho very best results. This is already evidenced by tho increased activity displayed in many districts where hereto fore it seemed impossible to move tho party to energetic effort. Chairman Hon bel is perfectiug tho organization in a very quiet but certainly very effective manner. There has thus far been a total absence of the bravado which has generally been characteristic of former campaigns, and yet it is alleged by tltoso who ought to know that not for mauy years has tho party been more completely united or more thoroughly organized for practical work. Here in .Philadelphia there is everything to encourage tbe Democracy. Not only is tho party in working trim, but many of the devices whereby the bosses of the Ro -publican party have managed to control not ouly a largo slico of tbo Democratic vote, but to make victories that bad no foundatiou in fact, have boeu killed. Never before havo we had 60 complete aregistry. This it is that gives more alarm to tho Stalwarts than oven tho defection of tho Independents. An honest registry, tbe appointment of reliablo watchers, tho vigilance of tho Committee of Ono Hun dred, the prompt convictions and severe punishment meted imt to ballot de bauchers, aud the determination of men of both parties to givo tho benefit of their money aud influence in favor of au honest vote and an honest count, cannot but redound greatly to tho advantage of tho Democracy. Being thoroughly united and with a fairer prospect of success than has been presented to them for years, it will bo their own fault if they fail to make such changes in the vote of Philadelphia as would even in an ordinary election ren der tbe result doubtful, but which under the present extraordinary circumstances will givo them tbe stato by a handsome majority. THE LATTER END. Our Gap Correspondent Answers Can- Kobert's Criticism and fires Some Heavy lsibllca: Arguments at 111m. Editors of the Intelligencer : In your paper of yesterday wo noticed a long rigmarole from a correspondent sinn ing himself " Can-Robert," doubting the proprioty of our writers making uso of the phraseology "latter end" or " last cud" of any thing. Aud he seems to fear that ono Ozcar Wilde might filo exceptions to it among many other oddities and absurdities practiced by his American cousins ; but in regard to that we think your correspond ent need not be alarmed for according to Webster " the Bible should bo tbe stand ard of language as well as faith." Wo read in tho book of Numbers chap ter xxiii 10th " Let me die the death of the righteous and let my last end be like his," Lamentations, chapter 10, "She remembered not her last end:" Job, chapter xix 25tb, "Fori know that my Redeemer liveth and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth," and in Proverbs xix 20th, "Hear counsel and instruction that thou may be wise in thy latter end.;" also in Numbers xxiv 20tb, "But his latter end shall be that he per isheth forever." Wo havo the Biblo aud Webster for our proof and opine that after careful consideration "Can Robert " will not see as much absurdity in the phraseol ogy " latter end " as he at first imagined ho did. Gaiwrian. Gap, August 9, 1883. Fatally Struck by a traded Whip. At Hicksford, Va., Wiley J. Hobbs, jr., doing business at that place, struck H. B.

His Remains to be Interred Wlthoat Any MUitary Display. In accordance with the dying request of General G. K. Warren, who expired at Newport on Tuesday, then will be no military funeral, and tho dead general will not be laid out m tho uniform which he wore so worthily. In making this request he said that he was tired of every thing pertaining to a soldier's life. His request will be heeded, and he will be borne to the silent city- of the dead with out the trappings incidental to a military pageant. The remains will be interred there, and as the funeral cortege wends its way to tbe cemetery, it will forcibly recall the fact that General Warren died of a broken heart. A Deserted Tillage Sold. The " deserted village" of Foltville, in Union county. New Jersey, built and origi nally owned by a paper manufacturer, named Felt, and at ono time flourishing, was sold yesterday by the receiver of the Globe Mutual insurance company, of New York, to Warren Aekerman, of Plainfield, for $11,450. The village contains 20 bouses, two mills, a church, a school-houso, a store and a mill dam, and in the sale was in cluded about 800 acres of land, 200 of which are tillable. A Cbambersburg Woolen Mill Burned. Tho woolen mill of J. C. McLanabau, just east of (Jhambersburg, which is ope rated by Charles ochreblcr, was burned to tbe ground Tuesday night.
