FRIDAY STONING, AUG. 25. 1882.
A Fight far a Fuenl.
Every day it becomes clearer that the
quarrel between the Republican fac
tions is an irreconcilable conflict. It is
a war tbat cannot bo compromised. It is
a contest on the one side for power and
spoils, and on the other for principles
and political reform. And it is not con
fined to any single state, or any particu
lar section of the country. The lines
were formed during the closing years of
Grant's administration, his prescriptive
and brutalizing Southern policy and Sec
retary Bristow's fight with the whisky
ring thieves, precipitating what was
plainly an inevitable conflict. The issue
was joined in the Republican national
convention at Cincinnati in 1876, but the
reformers were too weak even to
use advantageously the bitter contest
between the Blaine and Grant factions.
At Chicago, also, in 18S0, the distinct
ive reform clement was at first swal
lowed up inthe greater faction fight, but
in the end it played a conspicuous aud
potent if not decisive part. Had Presi
dent Garfield lived it is quite possible
that the parly might have patched up
its internal troubles and tided itself over
another crisis in 18S1 ; but the Arthur
administration, steering straight by the
Stalwart compass, has, in one year's
time, left the once united aud invincible
Republican party stranded on the rocks
of hopeless differences and increasing
bitterness, a fact which does not reflect
much credit upon the "practical politi
cian " who accidentally fills the presi
dential chair, regarding the matter from
his own standpoints to the all-powerful
influences of the federal patronage.
It is, however, doubtful if Mr. Arthur
could have prevented the party from
tearing itself to pieces. Before Gar
field's death it seemed to be fated, and
after his tragic taking off everything ap
peared to conspire against it. The Tac
tions rose up glaringly and chafed at the
peacemakers. The bosses knew that
their political life blood was demanded,
and the baffled and embittered reform
element knew that they must now fight
more desperately than ever, or submit to
be re enslaved in the bonds of party tyr
anny indefinitely. The president evi
dently appreciated the situation and
concluded that the role of peacemaker
was not suited to his style of manly
beauty and that he would make a sorry
figure in history as a political martyr.
So he clime to his friends, the camn
divided and the war began in earnest
and now it is a fight for a funeral all
along the line.
In Pennsylvania Mr. Cameron distinct
ly knows, and his Independent foes are
not disposed to let him forget the solid
fact, that he is fighting for his political
life. The black flag has been raised by
him and against him. lie must conquer
or die. And it is the same with his
leading henchmen, with all that dis
reputable combination of political pi
rates that make up what is known as
" the machine." At least 100,000 Re
publicans in Pennsylvania have deliber
ately and irrevocably made up their
minds that their party organization shall
be purged of bosses and bossism. The
fact that these Independent voters have
been a long time deciding on this heroic
measure makes their present position all
the stronger. They have patiently
borne with party evils and party disgraces
until forbearance has ceased to be a vir
tue and organized, determined and suc
cessful revolution has become an imper
ative public duty.
This is the spirit of the Independent
movement. It could not be sold out or
turned aside by auy leader or any set of
leaders or managers. Should Stewart
and his associates on the Independent
ticket withdraw to-day their places
would be immediately filled by bolder
men who would carry the flag of inde
pendence and reform over ttie Stal
wart battlements. And presently the
same battle will be witnessed in New
York. The factions are getting nearer
each other, but to grapple, not to em
brace. The Stalwarts there, as here, will
rule or ruin, and the Independents mean
to throttle them even if in so doing the
party is defeated at the polls. It is the
logical and inevitable result of party de
bauchery and official degradation.
Twenty years ago the Democratic party
was broken upon the slavery issue ; to
day the Republican party is rent in
twain over the spoils system. It is
history repeating itself on different
lines of agitation.
It is high time the Democratic differ
ences in those senatorial districts where
some bitterness has already arisen were
approaching a settlement. The duty of
the hour calls for self-abnegation and
united efforts. The pathway to victory
is clear ; let it not be obstructed any
where by unseemly wrangles. Let us
have peace and not pieces in Fayette and
Cumberland.
The Wolfe appears to be making sad
havoc among the Stalwart sheep in the
Union county region. Next thing a re
ward will be offered for his seal). And
then it would be just like him to step
right in and scalp the scalpers. He is a
bold fighter and carries a double-edged
tomahawk.
Evert Saturday night the machine
refrain at headquarters is: "Another
week gone and still no Democratic
blunder!" A continuation of this
alarming state of affairs and Cooper's
red head will be white as the drircn
snow before November.
After months of preliminary spar.
ring Dr. Bradley, of the Wilkesbarre
Record, and Congressman Scranton
have clinched, and now somebody is go
ing to get hurt. Give 'em room. It's
going to be a beautiful scrimmage.
The work of organization goes bravely
on and the Democratic party in Penn
sylvania to-day is in better fighting
trim than it has been for many a year.
Get into line and close up.
"What has become of that new con
vention that was to lead the Stalwarts
out .of the wilderness V Guess it will be
held some other year.
The revolver is not generally consid
ered the most appropriate of arguments
in a religious controversy, but that's
what a young man in Troy, X. Y., is
accused of using in the endeavor to in
duce his sweetheart to renounce her own
faith and accept his. The frightened
young woman began to cry, the tele
phone wire carried the sounds of her
sobs to a friendly ear, aud the belligerent
young theologian was locked up. Here
was a charming illustration of science
serving religion ; for if the telephone
hadn't been there to summon swift as
sistance, the young woman might have
been induced at the point of the pistol
to yield to the young man's religious
persuasiveness. While this might have
been properly described as a triumph of
the church militant, it could scarcely be
considered a creditable missionary
achievement. The religion that needs
a shooting iron for a weaponin this latter
day civilization isn't of much account.
It turns out, however, that the would-be
proselyter was a little out of his head ;
so that it is not to be supposed that the
pistol is regarded as a part of the true
faith.
La tetite diva Mme. Tueo has
arrived in New York, and the opera
bouffe craze that Juia of late nearly run
toseedonthe Anurii'in stage is prom
ised a new impetus by the accession of
the verve, the indi'SciiliuMe chic and the
superabundant anim-il spirits that made
the little woman such a great favorite in
her native land. Iler beauty and extra
ordinary humor so impressed Offenbach
that he wrote a number of operas espec
ially for her, and Theo's fortune was
made. What with Nilsson and Patti
and the only Langtry who are promised,
the new arrival furnishes added cause
for congratulation on the part of the
American play-going public.
Ex-Representative Coffroth has
practically a clear field to try it again
with Campbell in the( 17th) Congressional
district. He will make a strong fight
and has a good chance to redeem thedis
trict. Shoot tbo big opera bat !
Dili, aud Curtiu are bavin a close race
for the nomination in tbo Twentieth con
gressional district.
Tub custom of having groomsmen at
weddings has died out of English society.
The bridegroom is attended by one best
man.
Fans were hissed in the opera house at
Bayreuth, on the nights of Wagner's
" Parsifal." Not even a cooling rustle
was allowed to temper the heat and inter
rupt the leit-motifs. If only the largo hat
at the theatre tbo coming season could
be greeted in the same way as those Ger
man fans ! It is equally as abominable to
interfere with the bight as the hearing of
an audience. Girls, make a note of this.
Tun season at Fulton opera bouse opens
to night ; and here and now is voiced the
solemn protest of a long-suffering com
munity against the two-story hats some
women persist in wearing at public
entertainments, and which aro a source of
annoyatice and positive discomfort to more
sensible people in the audience. Let the
reform begin at the beginning and then
perhaps it will be lasting. Down with the
big hats !
It is iu a religious contemporary wc
note the suggestion that it might be ap
propriate for some congregations, instead
of having the prayer after the sermon, to
put it before the sermon. For, after all,
as our contemporary puts it. it is a good
custom our mothers taught us to observe,
namely, never to go to sleep before we
had said our
" Now I lay mo lown to sleep," Ac.
or some other appropriate prayer !
The irrepressible Blaine will not down.
It is now authoritatively stated that he
gave the original impulse to the Conkling
Corncll fccaudal, the facts having been
furnished him by Coruell himself, and by
him communicated to the editor of the
Albany Evening Journal. If half that is
written of tbo "plumed knight" be true,
be must be the most omnisciont and ubi
quitous human being that ever inhabited
our planet.
Iv it is true as reported that Mr. Blaine
proposes to fight Mahone and the unholy
allianca in Virginia the freebooter will
more than have his hands full in the ap
proaching campaign, 't ho ex-secretary,
it is said, will support !iiO -.traigktout Re
publican movement ; wnd color is given
to the assertioii by the fact that he vigor
ously opposed the coalition while a mem
ber of Garfield's cabiuet, aud did all in his
power to dissuade tho president from giv
ing it tho moral support of the adminis
tration's favor.
Politics truly present tome siugular
Tases and make strange bedfellows. The
story goes that of the entire membership
of a politico-social cotcrio in Philadel
phia, to which Wayne MacVeagh belong
ed, tho latter was the only one, who prior
to the Chicago convention expressed
himself persistently against tbo nomina
tion of Garfield. After ho went into the
cabinet, ho posed as the especial friend
and confidante of the president, and a
great jealousy quickly arose between him
and Mr. Blaino on this very point. To
such a height had this feeling between the
two men arisen that the story goes about
the time of the assassination Blaino had
prepared an ultimatum to be submitted to
Garfield, and the substance of which was
that either he (Blaino) or MacVeagh
would have to get out of the cabinet.
The Jury Lunch at Brady's Expense.
It is the habit of tho lawyers, jurymen
and others in the Star Route cases to ad
journ at recess to a place called Haggerty's
Hole in the Wall, a small restaurant or
eating saloon opposite the city hall. Here
a majority of the lawyers and witnesses,
and, it is said, Bome jurymen have lunched
at Brady's expense, hi bill for lunches
for the past month at-Haggerty's amount
ing to over $300.

Seizing; Contraband Jewelry.
Some excitement was caused in the jew
elry trade yesterday at St. John, N. B.,
by the customs officers visiting four estab
lishments and seizing large quantities of
American jewelry. It is claimed that only
a small portion of imported jewelry pays
duty. The goods, it is said, are smuggled
into the upper provinces and thence to St.
John with regular invoices.
THE DATSD0INGS.
A WOMAN WIELDING TBI COWHIDE.
Joseph MeGUlFaalshed for Trying to Bala
III sister-la-Law's deputation
The News by Mall.
Mrs. Peter McGill, wife of a wealthy
manufacturer residing in the eastern dis
trict of Brooklyn, was put under bonds by
a justice of the peace to keep the peace
toward her brother in-law, Jos. McGill.
Last June the plaintiff accompanied Mrs.
McGill and her husband to New York to
see her husband off to Boston. Returning
from the boat McGill induced his sister-in-law
to accompany him into a house to
rest and see a relative. After keeping
Mrs. McGill in conversation in the parlor
of the house for about an hour, McGill
said the iclativo was not in, and then, ac
companied by his sister-in-law, went
bome. Mrs. McGill subsequently learned
that the place which her brother-in-law
bad induced her to enter was a house of
ill-fame. A private detective, posted
outside by the brother-in-law, reported
the matter to Mrs. McGill's husband,
and he at once commenced suit
against his wile for absolute di
vorce. She alleged conspiracy. An ex
planation followed; tho suit was with
drawn, and tbo husband and wife are now
living together. Mrs. McGill, smarting
under the attempt of her brother-in-law to
ruin her bome, determined to cowhide
Joseph McGill. Accompanied by two male
friends she went in search of McGill,
fouud him on Broadway, Brooklyn, East
ern district, and belabored him over the
head and shoulders with her cowhide.
The affair created a great sensation, as the
parties are well known and very promin
ent in Brooklyn society.
CRAZtSU WITH LOVE.
Tho Ravings or An Insane Scotch Woman
lu the Hospital at Castle Warden.
" Give me spirits, for I have work to
do," screamed in iusauo woman, who was
confined in a room of tho hospital at Cas
tle Garden. She sprang like a tigress upon
the attendant who opened the door, and
endeavored to bite his hand. It was with
difficulty that he extricated himself from
her grasp. Dr. Chapin, the hospi
tal surgeon says : " The woman's
name is Euphemia Patterson, aged thirty
two years, and unmarried, from Paisley,
Scotland. She arrived on Tuesday on the
steamer Anchoria, of tho Anchor line.
She acted so wildly on board tho steamer
that the captaiu was cotnpolled to have
her watched, lest she should jump over
board. She was locked on ono occasion in
a cabin, aud she thrust her hand through
a pane of glass over the door and cut her
wrist. On tho night before she landed
she ran out iu her night clothes and
screamed to the Stewart: 'The ship is
going to sink ; save me.' Hci case seems
to be one of love, as she had corresponded
for some months with a man iu this coun
try who bears the namo of ' Tommy.' Sho
gesticulates in a threatrical -manner and
shouts : 'Give me Tommy !' She is very
noisy. Sho spends her time in screaming
singing psalms and rapping on the door.
Shu has a brother iu York street, Jersey
City, who visited her on Tuesday. She
will probably be seat to Ward's Island
until sbe becomes less violent, aud then
her brother will take charge of her."

Tale of the Actor's Life.
The will of the late John Swift, of Plii
ladlphia, leaving half of his large fortune

daughter, Grace . Thorno, was born in
October, 18(50 ; that the libellant deserted
her soon after, and that ho had for some
years lived in unlawful intimacy with Mary
Swift Brown, of Philadelphia. Tho fact
of this marriage is not denied by Thome's
counsel, but it has been supposed, until re
cently, that he obtained a divorco in the
West before assuming his present relation
with the daughter of the late Mr. Swift.
The above bill was filed in April, 1880, but
postponements were from time to time
obtained by Thome's counsel, tho court
ordering tho payment of alimony at the
rate of $1,000 per annum until tho case
shall be settled. It is now expected that
a divorco will bo obtained without oppo
sition early in October. Mrs. Ellen
Thorno 'is the daughter of tho late
William Calder, a widely known and
much esteemed gentleman, aud she has
for some years been living iu rotiremsnt

New Era.
It is but simple justice to say to our
readers and contemporaries abroad what
is well known to well informed citizens at
home, tbat Lancaster has no cause to
complaim of her chief magistracy. And
tho New Era cannot be accused of par
tiality when we bear this testimony to a
political opponent. Wo happen to know
that Mayor MacGonigle has been unceas
ing in his efforts and tireless in his vigi
lance in endeavoring to have tho Lancas
ter incendiaries detected and brought to
justice. But they are quite a different
class of scoundrels from those Colonel
Reigart had to deal with. A long course
of traiuing in evil associations has made
them experts iu concealing their tracks
and baffling. the most vigilant surveillance
that was at ' tho command of the mayor.
Yet ho persevered, and the capture of one

THE VEBDICT-
END OF THE VIKGIX1A DUEL TRIAL.
Garland Acquitted by the Jury After Brief
DeUberatlon The Audience Greets
the Verdict With Applaase,
The trial of Duelist Garland came to a
termination Thursday evening by the ac
quittal of the accused. Judge-elect Hin.
ton made a powerful speech for the prose
cution, in which he endeavored to show
tbat the accused had aot killed Addison in
self-defense, but that his offense was de
serving of severe punishment. Hinton
closed his speech at five o'clock.
The case was then given to the
jury, who retired to their room
and in fifteen minutes brought in a
verdict of not guilty for the prisoner.
Garland was at once formally discharged
from custody. His old fatber was near
him when the verdict was rendered and
cried like a child. Garland's friends and
relatives surrounded him and warmly
grasped his hands and manifested the ut
most joy at the result of the trial. As soon
as the verdict was made known to the
crowd outsido of the court room cheer
after cheer was given. As soon as Gar
land could press his way through the im
mense crowd he was quickly surrounded
by friends and heartily congratulated
upon the mauuer iu which the trial had
ended. Every where Garland has been ho
has been cordially welcomed. The result
was generally expected. No one dreamed
for a momeut'tbat a jury, especially of his
countrymen, would couvict tho accused.
There was some doubt felt by the defense
about oue of the jurors, a Northern man,
whom it was feared might have the anti
pathy entcrtaiued by many Northerners
to anything looking like dueling.
From tho court-house Garland at onco
proceeded to his father's house, where
his mother, sisters and a throng of anxious
friends awaited tho result of tho jury's
verdict. By these friends tbo young man
was received with every demonstration of
joy. Tho members of the jury, all of
whom were acquainted with Garland,
shook him by tho hand after they were
discharged. Several members of the jury
stated that they had pretty well agreed
upon a verdict of acquittal before the ar
gument was concluded. One of the jury
said that tho speech of Mr. Fineb, the
volunteer counsel for the defense, who was
so aggressive and severe in his remarks
unon counsel for the prosecution, had
more influence upon the jury than that of
any of the lawyers for the prisoner. After
the acquittal of Garland a nolle prosequi
was entered in tho case of Boswell and
James Roach, who were indicted by the
grand jury of this court as accessories to
tho killing of Addison. The acquittal of
Garland seems to accord with the pnblio
sentiment of his county. ' Most of the
people have from the first been iu sym
pathy with Garland. From first to last
the case attracted moie attention than any
criminal trial known in Virginia for years.

Hardly had tho delegation from tbo

Mr. Rudolph Blankeuburg to seek his aid

Jay Hubbell left the business house of
that gentleman when they were surprised
at the receipt of tho following circular
from the irrepressible tithe-gatherer :
August 15, 1882. Sir : Your failure to

sent to you by this committee, is noted
with surprise. It is hoped that tho only
reason for such failure is that tbo matter
escaped your attention, owing to a press
of other cares It is hoped tbat by re
turn of mail you will send a voluntary
contribution equal to 2 per cent, of your
annual compensation as a substantial
proof of your earnest desire for the suc
cess of tbe Republican party this fall.
By order of the Republican con
gressional committee, Jay A. Hubbell,
chairman, to whose otder all remittances
should be sent.
A circular is being sent, under tho di
rection of Senator Mahone, to Virginia
officeholders who are Republicans or Re
adjustee, demanding that they volunta
rily contribute 5 per cent of their salary
for the support of the Readjuster move
ment in Virginia. This circular differs
from that of Jay Hubbell, in that it di
rectly names tho salary which the person
to whom it is addressed is receiving, aud
the amount that he, therefore, is expected
to contribute. This 5 per cent, is, of
course, in addition to tho 2 per cent, of
the Hubbell circular.

THE RAILROAD W'HK.
RaaalBg the Mala Llae Arooad Laacaster.
The most important work which the
engineers' department of the Pennsylva
nia has now under way is the straighten
iug of the line at Lancaster a work of
considerable magnitude, as it involves the
building of three miles of now road from
a point about a mile and a half east
of Lancaster in an air line to the junction
of the two roads about that distance be
yond the town. Tbe curve through tho
turn of Lancaster is very sharp, and there
is a bad reverse curve about a mile east
of the city.. The short cut, which
will be completed this fall, will not only
save 3,500 feet in distance but it will re
move 358 degrees of curvature almost an
entire circle. The reduction is also equiv
alent to saving the haul of 2,00'.) cars one
mile each day, basing this on the average
business of the road. The old station in
Lancaster will be used as before for local
trains, but all through passenger trains,
as well as freight, will pass over the new
line, going fully half a mile east of the
centre of the town.
The Pennsylvania has pretty nearly
completed all of the extra work that will
be done on -tho road this year, and little,
if any, new third or fourth track will be
laid until spring. The four tracks now
extend from Philadelphia on the main line
as far as Villa Nova; a little more than 12
miles but all tho grading and bridge work
necessary for their extension as far as
Eaglo is done. Tho road bed will be
allowed to settle during the winter and
track will not be laid until spring. Con
siderable work in tho way of changing
grades and curves is still in progress, how
ever. At Wayno the track on tho lino is
being laid as fast as possible, and within
a month the old road runuing close to
Wayne station will bo abandoned and a
curve about 1,000 feet iu length will be
taken out, the new line being the aro of
the circle formed by tbe road as now con
structed. At Coatesville similar work is
now in progress, and & force of men aro at
work near Gap station cutting down the
grade there, which is tbe beaviest on tbe
division.

Walter Deen hired a horse and buggy
from Thomas J. Houghton, liveryman, on
North Queen street this city. He said ho
wanted to go to Columbia aud would be
back in the evening. About 6 or 7 o'clock
Houghton met Rogers, who was walking
on the street. He said he had returned
from Columbia early and had the horse
out at his father's where he was having
him fed. About 9 o'clock Sir. Houghton
met Rogers and Leidenbcrger on North
Queen street driving tbe hoise. Rogers
jumped out of the buggy and Leidenberg- -
er was made drive the horse to the stable.
The animal was in a bad condition, having
been driven very hard ; he was covered
with welts and foam and was so tired that
he dropped over in the stable as soon as
the harness had been takon from him ;
he could not be driven for a week:. It was
shown that Deen was seen driving with
two girls in a buggy in this city about
noon on that day. At 7 in tho evening
the other two men were seen driving the
horse very fast on Plum street, this city ;
Rogers was whipping the horse ; during
the afternoon Rogers and Leidenborger
were seen with the horse at Intercourse
and Bird-in-Hand. They wero driving
fast and the hone was tired.
After the commonwealth's testimony
was in, counsel for the defense asked that
Deen be discharged, as there did not ap
pear to be any ovidence against him. The
commonwealth's officer stated that they
would not press the charge against him.
For the defense Rogers and Leidenbor
ger were called, and they testified that
they did drive the horse to Intercourse on
this day ; they did not drive fast nor beat
the horse, they only touched him with
the lines, as he could not go fast. At
Intercourse they put tho horse in the sta
ble and fed him. Rog rs also testified
that he saw the horse on the street two
days after they had him, and thero was
nothing wrong with him. Witnesses tes
