Tko Republican rogues, in tbe general falling out they are having, are freely exposing, by their mutual confessions and criminations, the devious practices which have continued them so long in power. TheNew Yoric Commercial Ad vertiser now pillories the Xew York Ttmes as the abetter of the frauds which made JIaye3 president, being in spired thereto by the denunciation of the Times of the frauds that defeated Cornell for governor. It recalls the fact that the Times was the only-paper in the country to claim the election of Hayes immediately after the election of 187G, when it was generally conceded that Tildea had been chosen. There was no difference from this view sive on the part of a few of the manipulating Republican leaders who joined the Times in claiming a vic tory, as is now known, only as a foun dation for tbe dirty work they intended to do to change their defeat into a suc cess. The Advertiser says that they inspired the declaration of the Times, and it charges that it lent itself to their scheme, though well knowing its fraud ulent nature. The facts strongly sus tain the statement. The Times claims to be an Independent Republican journal, as ready to condemn its party when wrong as to applaud it when right. But, as very many of such good profes sors do, it reserves the privilege of being blind to the faults of il s particular peo ple when they are in extremity. The Hayes side of the Republican House being dear to the Times, its demand was too much for its independent honesty, and it gave them the countenance they wanted. It is a bad thing for an independent organ of reform and a proclaimed cham pion of honest rule when it cannot always command its words to follow its professions. When it is sometimes caught slipping from its moorings its credit generally is gone, even though it generally clings fast to them. The law's maxim is that he who is false in one statement may be taken as false in all ; and under that instruction to a jury many a testifier has come to grief. Wc fear that there is but a small element of the Republican party that is so free from guile that it can afford to throw stones at its neighbor; and the free casting of missiles which is going on among the Republicans just now affords ample ground for this belie! us to the general rottenness of the "party that is. now going to pieces so rapidly on the lee shore it has struck and amid the breakers which its evil steering has brought it into. The wreck is a sure thing. What will be done with the pieces is a question of the future. The two parties of wreckers . y;!ro have brought the party :&" iis peril, by their false 4ilitsand selfish pmposes, will neither of them come clean handed to the work of reconstruction. There will, however, be plenty of time for them to settle who .shall take charge of their party when it is put together, as it is likely to be a long time before they will be again called to the responsibility of the gov ernment for the nation. The Democrat is party will have this for a period that will lie measured by the wisdom,honesty and patriotism of its leaders. It will le quite too much to hope, in view of human frailty, that its stock of these will suffice to keep it ever in power, but it ought to have acquired sufficient quantity in the score of years that it has been travelling in the desert to insure it a long period of such good behavior in power as will entitle il to at leastanother score of jeans amid the fleshpols. As long as it is willing to yield to the people their honest dues, to discharge a just stewardship, and to give an honest day's labor for the liberal wages the people pay for its work, it will deserve their confidence and receive their approval. Its lease of power will depend upon itself. It is a common experience that man's devices for avoiding perils often are the means of bringing peril. We have this experience in the remedies for our bodily ailments, which we only cure in one place to have others break out in an other. The great discoveries again of steam and electricity have brought us dangers that our forefathers knew not of. Medical science ad vances j'early, but yearly, also, the rato of mortality grows. Ma laria, that we never heard of a few years ago, has come to all our doors. People seem now to have two classiQcations of disorders, so prevalent is the physicians' assignment of their patients' troubles to their nerves or the atmosphere. Me chanics and doctors have equally bad luck in protecting humanity. A few years ago there was a great fire destroying the Berlin opera house, caused by the communication of the stage with the body of the house. The obvious remedy was a fire-proof curtain, and it was made. Now that heavy curtain has fallen down to the injury of many people. Soon we will all have to accept the comfortable doctrine of the fatalists and Presby terians ; and, saying "it is written," compose ourselves to tho disposition of our fate. The Republicans in the Cumberland and Adams district have nominated Mr. James W. Bosler for the state Senate, and hope, through the division of the Democracy, to elect him. We do not suppose that they will long have this ground for their expectation, as it would never do in this time of Democratic unity that it should be marred in any district of the state. Mr. Bosler is not the kind of man that is wanted in the Legislature. He has acquired large wealth as a government contractor, and his name has been mentioned in the Star Route trials as tho companion of those accused. Pennsylvania senators should be free from the suspicion of such asso ciation, and the Democracy of Adams and Cumberland must not permit him to be elected, as they have the power to prevent it ; if they do they will subject themselves to the imputation of having been corruptly influenced. This is the last day for paying taxes. A mock philanthropist has been sent to prison for a year lrom Eaglewood, 111. He had run an institution for feeble, minded children without any children, but with profit to himself. ASHKJ OF K03E3. Soft on the sunset sky Bright daylight closes, Leaving-, when night doth Uo Pale hues that mingling He Ashes of Soscs. When love's warm sun Is set Love's brightness closes ; Eyes with hot tears arc wet. In hearts that linger yet, Ashes of roses. Eloine Goodalc. Scandal followed tka Rev. Dr. Hoff man for many years, but ho was not for: mally accused until last summer, when ho was arraigned before the Methodist con ference of Lincoln, III., as a forger, per jurer and social post. He made a stub born delense, but has at last been convict ed and doposed from the ministry. Same of his friends adhered to his cause steadfastly and one of them, after the verdict had been rendered, gave tho principal witness for the prosecution a whipping. It is announced that Controller Pattison will make a brief tour or tho state between now and election day. So the promise made just after his nomination that the Democratic candidate would be heard from beforo the campaign closes seems likely to be realized. Tho utterances ol Mr. Pattison thus far since the Harrisburg convention have been such that the bosses may view with apprehension a renewal of th9 broadside contained in his Common, wealth club speech, the echo of which is still resounding to the corners of the state. Cameiion will endeavor to offset tho effect of the defeat of somo of his candi dates for senator by storming Democratic citadels hitherto considered hopeless. A caso in point is tho nomination of Indian Boef-Contractor Bosler in tho Thirty second district, composed of tho Demo cratic counties of Adams and Cumber laud. The candidate's great wealth en 8.1 res an enormous coiruption fund, and or this rock the Republicans are anchoring their hopes of success. It behooves tho Democrats of these counties to guard care, fully their lines so that when November comes the Cameron dynasty may be sunk deeper than plummet can sound. "The abolition of unnecessary offices, the reduction of the number of public dependents, tho nan owing of responsi- bility and economy in tho public expense, constitute an uigeut and practical reform. This would be a substantial benefit to tho people. To lessen the cost of government lightens tho burdens of labor.Thoauthors and abetters of the evils under which the people suffer are now on their trial in this commonwealth. Aftcraloug stewardship they will be judged by deeds and not by dcclaiations. Professions are easily made ; but tho peop'e have been fed on such dry husks so long that thoy have resolved to determine who shall be their servants, not what is piomiscd for tbe future, but by what has been done in the past." From Ptitlisoii's Commonwealth Club Speech. m THE S3Ai:UV WIliTK I10U.SJL. l'alut sud Kepafr Can't Make it Louie Ke tipectablo. Despite tho painting and scraping to which the president's house has been sub jected for the past fow weeks it is still far from being attractive, and tho exterior picseuts a daubed, streaked appearance, which white paint cannot conceal. At tho last session of Congress a bill was in troduced appropriating $400,000 for an addition to the structure, which would have resulted in the erection of a modern editico and suitable residence for the chief executive. Tho measure was allowed to go through tho Senate peacefully enough, but when it reached tho llouso a strong lobby was organized to defeat it. Tho lobby represented a syndicate which has bought a larco piece of ground north of the boundary line of the city, known as the Stone estate. Horo on a shady knoll a site has been selected for a new providential mansion, and such is thn influence excited by tho lobby, that it is among the probabilities that Undo Sim will eventually be forced to buy and enrich the speculators. The twenty-fivo thousand dollais apptopriatcd annually for the im provement of the executive mansion and its surroundings is a mere drop in the bucket, and tho results are difficult to as certain after tho money has been ex pended. The throngs of tourists who be siego the attendants daily for permission to inspect tho houso cannot find words to express their indignation when told that this is the famous White House. DEl'AKTMKNT SCANDALS. Wives Who Have Rent unit Fancied WrongB to Kevenge. Thero has been an epidemic of social scandals affecting people employed in tho departments at Washington during the past few days. Tho wife of a treasury clork created a scene in the agricultural department by striking a pretty widow whom the jealous creature said had alien ated the affections of her husband. This scandal was partly hushed be cause there was evidence to show that the ' infuriated wife was slightly insane, and that her victim was entirely innocent of the charge. Louisa D. Pelz, wife of Paul J. Pelz, chief draughtsman of the lighthouso board, treasury depart ment, and a member of the firm of J. L. Smithmeycr & Co., architects, filed a bill in equity against her husband for ali mony. Tho petition avers that they have lived together in that city since their mar riage in 1877 ; that in May last Mr. Pelz left her, and in tbo latter part of July re fused to contribute to the support of her self and their two children. She alleges that Mr. Pelz has been living with Miss Mary . Meein, a clerk in the United States treasurer's office. Mrs. Pelz does not ask for a divorce, but prays that her husband bo compelled to pay her $125 per month until he returns to his family. The. Sacred Kmbleni Kxpoaed. Caiiio, Oct. 7.

PATTISON WILL UK HKAKD FROM. Tne Democratic Candidate to Speak at Several Places In tbe State A Ureat meeting at York. Chairman Hensel announces that be tween now and election day Mr. Pattison will go out into the state. He will not exactly "take the stump," nor has there been any change in the programme laid down by tho state committee at the out set of the campaign when it was announced that Mr. Pattison would be seen and heard at different points in the state during the campaign. "I have had all along," said Mr. Hensel, "a distinct plan for this campaign. It was first to include the registration of voters and the payment of poll taxes. That has now been covered, and 'from this time on the work will be directed to getting out the Democratic vote. In pursuance of what I said early in the campaign, Mr. Pattison will be seen and heard in the state from now until November. Bnt bo will not allow himself to interfere with his uty in the control ler's office." In response to an invitation from Robert A. Packer, given just after his nomination, Mr. Pattison will visit next week Bradford county, stopping as ho goes and returns at Mauch Chunk, Hazelton, Wilke3barre, Scranton and Towanda. The following wcok ho will visit Erio and tho oil regions, going to Clarion on the 17th, and to Erie on the 18th, and passing through Franklin, Oil City, Titusville and Corry. On his return ho will stop botween trains at Warren. Later in tho campaign he will go to Pitts burgh. Then ho will visit several towns in Eastern Pennsylvania readily reached by late afternoon trains from Philadelphia. In somo places he will be present at meet ings ; at others ho will bo given recep tions ; and at others he will merely stop between trains. AT ltL.A.CK'3 UuatR A Kouklng Democratic Meeting ta York. An immense Democratic meeting was held in York Friday night. Tho an nouncement that tho great war governor of Pennsylvania would cortaiuly address the voters of York county attracted a large number of people to town from tho country districts. When tho hour for tho oponingofthe meetiug arrived hundreds wero vainly struggling to gain admission to the court house, where the meeting was hold. Tho ovation given to Gov. Curtiu was one of which any mau could feel proud. His entrance into tho court room which was densely packed with from 1,200 to 1,000 people of all shades aud parties, was tho scene of tho wildest enthusiasm. Shout after shout followed aud hats wore thrown into tho air. Judge Black presided, with 150 vice presidents. Judgo Black in opening faco tiously romarked that a newspaper had said he was to show his hands, llo was willing to show them at all times to tho people of his state, as they arc clean now as they had been in all his public lifo. He asked that his oppononts show their hands iu this day in like m.iuuer to sco whether they were not filled with funds unjustly wrung from officeholders to cor rupt the people. Ex Governor Curtiu then spoke an hour and a half, and V.Z2 followed by Victp.E. Piolwl' in a humor ous address of half an hour. wnEKis due-; iioyt sta.no ; Iln Will Mot Speak for Beaver Will lie Sup port Stewart? Governor iioyt has returned to WilkcJ barro for a rest among his old home friends, and he talks freely upou political topics among his intimate acquaintances is not a secret that he regards the Cameron machine as certain to meet a Waterloo defeat iu November, if Stewart and Beaver shall remain in tho field. He sincerely desires tho success of a creditable Republican ticket, composed of men who are for tho Republican party first, and not for faction or bosses at any time ; but he has no such result to expect from Beaver; ad he regards Beaver's election as utterly hopeless. In no town in the state i3 tho Republican defection so wide and deep among tho moro intelligent Republicans as in his own community. Tho Independents arc not merely tho Woifo men aro still In dependents, but tho Stewart movement is supported by nearly all thn most influen tial Republicans of tho county. It is safe to say that Governor Hoyt will refuso to speak for Beaver. lie will most likely bo silent iu tho contest, as he holds the first offico of tho stato confericd by tho Republican organization, but if ho shall make any utterance at all boforo the election it will bo agaiast tho whole Cam eron boss system ; and if ho publicly de clares for any gubernatorial c tudidato, it will bo for Stewart and not for Beaver. He has exhausted himvli to effect tho withdrawal of Beaver and Stewart, but as Miat is now impossible, ho does not con ceal his conviction that Beaver can't be elected and lint, in the present aspect, Beaver ought not to bo elected. Governor and Mrs. Hoyt aro the guests !u Wilfccsbarrc of Chai les A. Minor, and Friday orcniug a brilliant reception was tendered to them which was attended by two hundred invited guests, among whom were several distinguished representatives from distant cities. POLITICS IN OHKSTEK. The Democrats and Independent Republi cans Hold Rival Meetings. The city of Chester was the sccno of a little political excitement on Friday night. In Beale's park tho Democrats had a well attended and enthusiastic meeting, presi ded over by Alderman Clyde, the Dela ware county Democratic nominee for Con gress. Messrs. Elliott and Hensel were tho speakers and, though Tom Marshall was the popular attraction a few squares off, tho Democratic candidate and chair man held their audienco to the cud, and Bethel Custer, ono of tho candidates for assembly, closed the meeting with a short speech. At tho armory the Independents held a very largo meeting, every seat in tho spa cious room being occupied. Hampton L. Carson, of Philadelphia, spoke with fervor and was followed by Tom Marshall. He lashed the bosses and excoriated the Cam eron dynasty in an address of an hour aud a half, which was punctuated all through with tho laughter and applause of his audience. The predominance of Independ ents was very largo and they came in from all tho country around. They feel satisfied of polling 2,000 votes iu Delaware. Fifteenth Congressional District. Tho Republicn congressional conference for the Fifteenth district, after three days spent in caucusing and balloting, nominated Edw. Overton, jr., of Towanda on the thirty-cight ballot, three of tho Susquehanna county conferees going to Overton and the others to Jenuings. The nomination causes much ill feeling among tho Republicans, in Wyoming. Tbe Suit Against Wllllanuport Officials. In the case against the mayor and coun cils and the city of Williamsport, a com promise has been agreed upon by which criminal prosecution will stop and a man damus will be asked for, councils agree ing to file au answer admittinz that tho streets are out of condition. Tho civic court will then decide as to whether the city or the property owners should pay for street repairs. m Eloped with Her Fnpil. Ada Gray, a handsome school teacher of Dansvillo, N. Y., eloped with her pupil, John Henderson. They came to Rochester and were married. Her irate father ar rived tho following morning to claim his daughter. He was too late, however,, for tho pair had gone to Auburn. PERSONAL Coxobesshas J. Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, the other day, spoke two hours, during which he drank about two quarts of buttermilk. Dr. W. H. Bennett, an old and promi nent citizen of Jackson, Miss., who re cently died, left a will bequeathing $50,000 to his colored cook and cutting bis wife and other relations off without a cent. Ex-Judge Thomas JJ. Macket, who changed his mind so frequently about running for Congress in South Carolina, now turns up as an accepting candidate for the state Senate. How long ho will ' stick" there remains to bo teen. Miss Lofton, authoress of " ilogan, M.P.,"has written a novel, shortly to appear, and is looked forward to with considerable interest in Ireland, where she is regarded now as filling the place Lady Morgan once held of national novel ist. King Humbert, of Italy, attends mass every Sunday, but he cannot bo said to be a devoted worshipper. During the mass tho queen aud young prince of Naples kneel down, but the king keeps at stand ing all the time. Only at the elevation he bends his head slightly. Miss Fanny Davenport, hays a Lon don critic, " has boon dealt with liberally in tho matter of adipose deposit ; hence, as the picturosquo writers of her own country would say, she exercises the same effect upon tho visual organs as ' a circus poster on an Italian sunset." ' Adelina Patti is reported to have ac cepted an engagement for South America during the season of 18S1 at so high a rate that should sho economize her salary dur ing her 1332-83 season iu the United States, aud her South Amorica fees, her fortuno will be large enough to enable her to " rejoct with scorn the paltry few hun dred guineas a night she is likoly to b promised elsewhere." JosErn Arch, the Englisii agrarian agi tator, is a stout mau, with a round, red, goodnatured face, and eyes that, sparkle with merriment. As a speaker he often rises to vigorous eloquence, though some times hesitating and becoming confused, and almost always misplacing the aspirate in a most amusing manner, Ho was for merly a common hedger aud ditcher tho best in Warwickshire, it is said. Ho will mako au effort to secure a seat iu Pai lia ment at tbo next gcnenal election. Judok THOMAS W. Merriweather lives in Newton counly, Ga., and his near friend, Dr. It. W.

These wives died, aud they then married a third pair of sisters, not daughters of a bishop, but the daughters of Mr. Smith, of Greene county. With these last sisters thoy aro living happily. Hit. Booth was recently playing au en gagement at tho Adelphi, in London, and the princo and princess of Wales one cven iug occupied a box. At the cloo of the performance tho princess sent Lord Col vilio of Culro.ss, his lord in waiting, to in vito Mr. Booth to the box. Mr.Booth naturajly supposed thafclbo prince had sent for him to compliment him on his performance, but as he entered his dis comfiture may bo imagined when the princo coming forward and greeting him cordially, said. " Mr. Booth, I have sent for you to ask you how do you think Mr3. Laugtry will succeed in America." Sin Garnet Wolsuley when a young mau was a good deal of a fop iu Dnblin,as was tho Duke of Wellington in his youth, aud ho used to drivo a drag with his brothcis daily into Dycer's repository, now the family seat near Dublin. lie then wore long curls.

Ho wears a yellow sun hol inor, wound about with a handkerchief of. white .and violet check ; his red coat is open at tho chest, aud spotted with many stains of grease ; ho has a variegated necktie, a woolon shirt of a loud pattern, gray checked trousers, yellow riding boots and spurs, au opera glass, with a yellow caso and strap, and yellow revolver bslt with cartridge case; yellow gauutlets, a violet pocket handkerchief stuck iu his red coat, a gigantic pair of dark blue specta cle:;, aud ia his hand he nourishes a I'.m to keep off tho flics. Mr. George W. Childs, of the Phila delphia Ledger, thinks that journalists should take moro heed to tho future than other people. When ho taw that an em ployee was disposed to wisely economize ho stood ready to aid him. If he would acoumuUto $500, Mr. Childs would be willing to lend him auothor $500 on easy terms so that he might buy a homo. Mr. Childs said that his old city editor had retired worth nearly $200,000, and that others of tho Ledger staff had dono about as well. Of his success in journalism Mr. Childs said it was because ho had system throughout all thn departments of his paper. Thero was not an item printed in its columns that had not been obtaiued by his reporters, or verified by them, and ho re lied on tho evening papers for nothing, and took nothing for granted. One of the special injunctions laid upon all who wrote was that they should spell all individual names correctly, as ho believed that lack of circumspection in this respect annoyed and antagonized people. RICH AND IN BAGS A Aiitarly Herinic in Dayton, O. For many years an old man named Charics Patterson has been living in a thickly settled portion of Dayton, Ohio, in soclusiou. He is 715 years of age, and has nothing whatever to say to his neighbors. His home is a small wcathorboarded houso situated in about tho centre of a very deep lot. For a week or two past the neigh bors in the immodiato vicinity had missed him. Thursday a policeman and reporter invaded his miserable abode. It is a place of squalor and filth, and the old man was found sitting beforo a cracked aud rusty stovo, in keeping with his surroundings. He had 110 clothing on but his shirt, pre sumably mado from au old coffee sack, and his pcrscn was covered with sores, ovidently tho effects of the filth in which he lived. The man was dangerously ill aud had not tasted food or wator for two days. Tho old man is called a miser and is pre sumed to bo rich, worth, rumor has it, about $20,000. Yet when a physician told him ho was in a very critical condi tion and prescribed for him ho refused to pay thirty conts for the medicine, saying ho would take hi3 chances with death be fore ho would bo robbed. He admitted ho hal plenty of money, but did not feel dis posed to squander it, as he called it. Ac cording to his own story, ho has managed for years to live on an expense of from 40 to 50 cents per week. For the last year or two ho has turned all his property into money and has a large sum of ready cash on hand, but no one is able to toll where it is. lie has no relatives living in that part of the country, but it is thought ho has a brother residing in Missouri.

CEAZED BY HIS LOSSES. A SPECULATOR BECOMES INSANE What Followed tbe Bad Fortune Ex perienced by a Wealthy ull Operator Dunns tbe Late Excitement. The effects of the late flurry in oil are becoming apparent. The advance was so rapid, so unprecedented and so unex pected that the losses sustained by some men were enormous. W. D. Archibold, one of the radst respected and most solid financial men in tho exchange at Oil City, has been deprived of his reason, temporarily at least, by his great losses and excitement and worry in cident thereto. For the past month his business has averaged quito a million bar rels daily,and during tho past five years he has not been absent from the exchange ou business days. The strain was so great upon his mental faculties that thev gave away about nron Thursday. Ho left the exchange aud went to ono of the hotels and procured a basket of lunch and strolled out into the woods, telling tho person of whom he procured it to say nothiug about his getting it. During the afternoon his doorkeeper became alarmed aud telegraphed to his home iu Titusville to learn if he had been there. Tho reply was iu the negative. It stated that he had written to his wife, bidding her good by. Tho belief then becamo prevalent that he bad committed suicide. A searching party was organized and during the evening he was found in a small isolated cottago a short distance out of town. Ho was taken to his home. Tho unfortunato mm is now confined to his his bed in uncritical condition. The president of the exchange this morning announced that Archibold had made an u::igninout and during the day sold 491,000 barrels of oil under tho rule for his day account. Tho man is a com plete wreck mentally from excitement and overwork. His looses are said to bo tho result of the failures of outside parties. Ono firm iu Albany atone is said to have laid dovru on him lor $75,000. The affair causes deep repiofc among business mon, as Archibold was a great favorite. Tho failuio caused 110 panic in the market though prices declined somewhat. A. II. Stepheu' r-lxctloti to be Contested.
