k.- LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCE!., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10. 1882. Lancaster intelligencer. FRIDAY BVXMINO. NOV. 10. 1882. Pat Meat Oat. The Republicans will have the major ity in the Senate of Pennsylvania, while the Democrats control the House. There is likely, therefore, to be fair partisan ship at the coming session of the Legis lature. The first stop will be the choice of decent officers. In the House the re sponsibility for this choice will rest solely upon the Democrats. In the Sen ate they will also be afforded an oppor tunity to share in it, since the Republi can majority is composed of the two classes of Republicans. It is not to be supposed that the present officers of the Senate will command the votes of the Independent Republican senators. Whether those who have adhered to the regular organization of the party have been sufficiently instructed by the result of the elections to be ready to meet the demand of the Independent Republican senators for tho election of honest and competent officers of the body, Is a question for tho future to settle. How close the rep resentatives of the two branches of the party can be brought together in their political workingwe will have to wait to see. If the programme of the regular Republicans, as formulated before the election, is carried out after its severe lesson has been taught, it is certain tiiat there will lie no coalition of the two wings of the party. The Stalwart policy then was to narrow down the party to one of Stalwarts only; perhaps the shortness of theStalwart strength all over the coun try may secure a modiGcation of this heroic plan of party treatment. If it does, the Republican factions may organize the Senate acceptably to popu lar sentiment. If it does not, the Demo crats will have to help tho Independent Republicans to do the work in a credit able manner. It ie clear enough that the present officials are not the ones to be chosen. The are a bad lot altogether. They have kept their places by means "of which the public is fully informed ; but now such means will be ineffective. The Democratic and decent Republican sena tors outnumber those who will be willing to endorse, by re-election, the evil con duct of the present Senateofficers. They must go ; if not put out by their party, the Democrats will be ready to help the respectable Republican minority to clean out the Augean stable. Tiikue is a close contest between Busier and his Democratic opponent for the state Senate, the latter, however, by the latest returns being reported to bo elected by something over a hundred majority. Rosier, however, evidently intends to get his seat if he can and relies upon a Republican Senate to seat him. Reports sent out by him claim his election, notwithstanding the adverse figures. He is quite accomplished at straddling, aud hopes his ability in that line will enable him to command the support of both the Independent and regular Republican senators, when lie comes before the body to claim a seat. He has had the countenance both of Blaine and Cameron in his canvass and so can count on it in the Senate ; but neither Blaine nor Cameron can control the situation. The man that has been chosen by the people will get his seat. That is the instruction of the people in these elections. Gukeuai. Chalmers is reported to have been chosen to Congress from Mis. smippi by a narrow majority. This time he ran as the Republican candidate and bad in his support all the dubious influences that the Republican adminis tration could command for his support. In the present Congress Gen. Chalmers claimed a seat as a Democrat, but was ousted by its Republican majority in favor of the Republican contestant. He seems to have thought that the best way to get a seat in Congress after he was elected was to come as a Republican candidate, and he forthwith changed bis base accordingly. He seems to have chosen a wrong season for his turnabout. In the next Congress his credentials will have to meet tho scrutiny of a strong Democratic majority, and, considering the influences to which he owes his elec tion, they will hardly be sufficient to pass him. The general may have to consider the advisability of another speedy somersault, before ho is able to enjoy a comfortable congressional seat. The Democratic congressional major ity is swelling to almost an uncomfoit able figure. It is not best for a party to be too strong in its control of legislative assemblies. A great deal more self restraint is needed when there is not present the restraint of a powerful mi nority.. The Democratic congressmen will have need of all their virtue to con duct themselves with proper moderation and wisdom, but we have not much fear that they will not exhibit it. They are too fresh in their power to forget1 the source whenco it emanates ; and, having seen the disaster that has come to Re publican mastery by the disregard of its leaders to public sentiment, our repre sentatives will not be so blind as not to proGt by it. An honest and earnest purpose exhibited by them to legislate for the general good is all that is needed to continue themselves in the trust to which they have been chosen. The context of what we said concern ing the Independent Republican vote that Pattison is said to have received, showed our judgment to bo that the united vote of Pattison and Stewart was not much less than might have reasona bly been expected for the Democratic ticket, in the present condition of the political tide, if Stewart had not been in the field ; though the types made us say inone place just the reverse. Stewart failed in a most remarkable way to cut down the vote for the regular Republi can ticket. The canvass showed that his following in his party was from its most personally influentially and intel ligent section; but the vote showed that the force of habit and prejudice controlled the less intelligent masses of the party,and brought them into line for its regular nominees. They evidently think a great deal more .of their party than of their country. California comes in unanimously Democratic, not a single Republican being elected to Congress. The public sentimeut ha3 run against the Republi can party in every section of the wide spread Union. No party ever came nearer being knocked on the head in an apparently sound condition of health, than Las the Republican party in these elections. If it can recover itself it will perform a great feat ; but it is certain lo have a considerable period of suspended animation before it can again kick, if it ever does. The probability is that it will have to be cut up and reformed be fore ib will again effectively appear in the political arena ; and that process will take time. There are still two doubtful states. Virginia and Indiana not yet being definitely fixed. The Mahone majority in Virginia is going down,and the Demo crats have hopes that the returns from the far-off districts will take it away en tirely! In Illinois the southern portion of the state, which is Democratic, is not yet iicard from sufficiently to decide whether tho present small Republican majority will stand. Tho chances are against the Democracy in both these states, but they may yet turn out all rightj since the Republican majorities are gravitating downwards. Robeson now has leisure to reflect upon the adage: "a prophet is not without honor save in his own country." Probably the boateu Republican leaders may, liko Gould, only with somewhat different feelings, say "the people bo d d." And the rains descended and tho floods cauio, and tho winds blew and beat upon tho macbino and it foil, and great was tho fall thereof. Tue broadest humor of the election is in New York, where "William H. Kennedy';, was elected coroner. Thoro happens to be five peoplo of that namo in tho city, and two of them havo taken it into their heads to claim the office. There seems to bo no way of deciding which is to receive the certificate. Toe Democratic victories of Tuesday aro still growing in magnitude, and the only question now appears to be at what figures they will stop. Cleveland's ma jority has now reached almost 200,000, and late returns contin'uo to show all over the Union Domooratic gains of the most sub stantial kind. It was a terrible catas trophe to tho party of great moral ideasf andiit will be many a year before its effects aro obliterated. , Grand Secretary Layton, of the Knights of Labor, has declared his inten tion of navor again voting tho Labor ticket. He is supremely disgusted with the small vote given Armstrong. He now considers with Powderly, of Scranton, that the best plan for tho laboring man is to vote with tho party offering him the greatest advantages. The laboring ele ment, iudcinc from Armstrong's wcak- nossand Pattison' strength, scomod to think that tho Democratic party filled tho bill. Here are somo of tho lucid reasons given to explain the cansos that led up to tho Republican Waterloo : "In Ohio it was the whiskey mon, in Pennsylvania it was disliko of Don Cameron, in New York it was resentment at Fcdoral inter ference in state politics, in Massachusetts it was disgust at blueblood management, in Michigan it was Hubbell, in Nebraska and Kansas it was prohibition, in Con necticut it was Barnumism, in Colorado it was tho silver question." In briof, the whole may bo summed up in one clause disgust with tho Republican party. Senator Bayard in ono torse sentence sums up tho only conditions which should allow a mau to aspire to high official po sition. He savs : " No mon can and no men should bo allowed to press them selves to the front who in character are. not above suspicion and whoso records aro not beyond reproach." It is those noble qualifications which havo brought tho naw governor of Pennsylvania so conspic uously to tho front and secured his elec tion to the office ho has hold so long ia Philadelphia and to tho high position to which ho has iust been named. "Wuo will succeed Governor elect Patti son as Controller of Philadelphia, is tho problem agitating tho good peoplo of that city. Of this office the Ledger says: ",Whcn it is occupied by mere instru ments of routine, liko nearly all of those who hold the ofiico prior to tho present incumbentt tho ofiico is not only no check on the money spending departments but it may bo made their aid and ally. Per contra when it is held by a man liko Rob ert Pattison it is in a vital senso a more valuable ofiico to the public than any other ia our municipal organization." The Philadelphia Press "claims tho right of age and experience to givo" Governor Pattison " wholesome advice," and in doing so broadly intimates that the governor-elect is in a position most imminently dangerous to his character as a public man. Just because Mr. PattiBon is a young man and was never governor before, we do not consider that there need be any fears entertained that be will not bo able to withstand the temptations which may bo in his way. He has demon strated too well the firmness of his deter mination, the power of his will and tho truth and steadfastness of his assertions and intentions, to allow reasonable minds to doubt that his career, so conspiciously begun, will not bo otherwise than a suc cessful and brilliant one. Whatever daz zling political triumphs tho young gover nor may achieve in his advance in life, that true and dignified manhood, which is his great characteristic, will amply enable him to spurn alike the fawnings of syco phants and the threats of foes. n m An later-state Association. An inter-state baseball association was formed yesterday in Reading. The Har risburgs, Trentons, Burlingtons ; Ac tives, of Reading ; Anthracites, of Potts ville ; Quicksteps, of Wilmington ; and Merritts, of Camden, were admitted to membership. One club from Philadel pma will be asked to join. Tho rules of the American association will lie adopt- e('- THE ELECTIONS- THIS Y1CTOUY STILL OBEATEfC only Eight Counties la Mew York Vote for Kolger A Kesauie of the Extent or the Cyclone. Complete and lemi-official returns are now being received from tho counties in Now York stato, and in nearly every in stance they cither decrease Mr. Folger's voto or increase Mr. Cleveland's. Only eight counties in the state have given ma jorities for the Republican candidate for governor, and footings of the latest figures at hand rhow a majority tor Grover Cleve land of 190,010. The congressional dele gation' remains as reported yesterday 21 Democrats and 13 Republicans. In the Assembly there is a slight change in the figures, owing to the reported election of the Republican candidate iu the Second district of Wayne county tho lower House now standing 34 Democrats and 44 Repub licans. In the House of Representatives of tho Forty-eighth Congress the Democrats will number 201 and tho Republicans 124, if tho Virginia Readjnsters vote with the Republicans. Tho latest dispatches indi cate a slight increase of tho Democratic majority as reported yesterday. Tho de feat of Horace F. Page (Rop.) by James H. Budd (Dem.) in the Second Cali fornia district adds California to tho states which elect solid Demo cratic delegations, the list including Ala bama, Arkansas, Florida and Georgia ; the Texas delegation, which had stood 11 Democrats, is broken by tho election of Thomas P. Ochiltreo (Rep.) over George P. Finlay (Dem.) in the Seventh district. Iu Mississippi it is reported that John B. Lynch (Uep.) has been beaten iu tho Sixth district by Honry S. Van Eaton, (Dora.-) While there is soma doubt in North Carolina about, the election of Risden T. Beunctt, Alio Dcuiociatic can didate for congrcssman-at-largc, aud tho Coalitionists claim that, they nave elected congressmen in tho first and Scvcuth districts, tho infor mation received is not sufhciently positivo to warrant the belief that any op position candidate is chosen. Wisconsin elects bix uomocrats out oi tno aeiogation of nine, John Winans (Dem.) defeating Charles U. Williams (Uep.; in tne first district. Tho re-election of Georgo W. Cassidy in Nevada over Christopher C. Powning (Rep.) is now conceded. Colo rado returns James B. Bolford (Rep.) In Illinois, where the result iu tho Eighth, Tenth and Twentieth districts has been in doubt, tho last reports indicate tho elec tion of William Cullcn (Rep.) in the Eiffhth. N. E. Worthincton (Dem.) iu tho Tenth, and John R. Thomas (Rep.) in tho Twentieth. Tho official voto of Delawaro givos Stockley (Dem.), for governor, 1,038 ma- jority; Loro (Dem.), lor Congress, 1,923 majority ; Martin (.uep.; is cicctea snoriu for New Castle county by 9 majority. With this exception the entire Democratic ticket is elected. Tho noxt Legislature will stand : House, solidly Democratic ; Senate, 8 Democrats to 1 Republican, who holds over. The revised returns from all but ono town in Massachusetts givo Butler 133, 802, Bishop 120,714, and Almy 1,829, mak ing Butler's plurality 13,088. Tho re maining town in 1881 gave 5 votes for Long (Rep.) In This State Tho official returns continue to show gains over the figures previously givcu for Mr. Pattison, and, at tho same rate, it is likely that his plurality will exceed 37,000. Beaver has carried only twenty counties, which givo him (half of them official), 19,912 plurality. Pattison has carried forty-three counties, in which his plural ity is 57,238, and twenty ono of these counties aro officially reported. His net plurality now appears to bo 37,341. Tho official count was not begun in any of the counties of this state until Thurs day, and it will likely not bo finished to day. In forty-three counties whoso ofil cial voto is reported, Mr. Beaver received 200.G07 votes aud General Baily, tho Re publican candidato for stato treasurer in 1881, 108,012 votes. Iu tho same counties Noble's total voto was 174,845 aud Fatti son's is 220.0SC. showing a Democratic gain of 43,241. In 1881 Wolfo received in forty-three counties 41,219 votes, whilo Stewart in tho same counties receives only 34,832, a discrepancy which is, of conrso, explained by tho fact that many of tho Independents voted directly for Pattison. Returns show tho eloction of Rosier to tho state sonate. A recount in Adams county gives him a majority of fifteen in stead of five against hiui,and other official gains will change the small estimated ma jority for Wagner to a majority for Bos ler. UUVEUNOK-EL.KCT PATTISON. He Goes to Visit HU Mother Can Bo Ap point Ills Own Successor'.' Governor-elect Pattison received a pro cession of callers Thursday morning, hun dreds of letters and a score of tclograuis of congratulations. Among tho dispatches was this: u Tho controller of .New iork congratulates tho controller of Philadel phia upon his election as governor of the Keystone state. Allan Campboll." An en- 1 thusia8tie dispatch was received from the Young Men's Domocratio club of Lancaster Tho controller left the city at 12 o'clock on his way to see his mother, who is 74 years old, and lives with her son-in-law at Alexandria. Va. The old lady has watched tho progress of her son's cam paign with motherly interest, and with filial haste ho has gono to tell her tha news with his own lips. Members of the bar aro divided in opin ions upon tho question whether Controller Pattison can, as governor, appoint his own successor. It would seem, however, that tho appointment of a controller, in case of resignation, a declination to sorvc, rests with tho court of quarter sessions and not with the governor. By tho act of 1874 tho governor has power to fill all vacancies in office where tho law does not othorwise provide, but the appointment of Controller Pattison' successor is apparently already provided for. m Largo failure. The Globe rubber company of Trenton, New Jcrsoy, failed Thursday, with liabili ties reported at $175,000, and assets at $120,000. Its suspension was caused by tho failure of W. A. Leavitt, or Philadel phia, to whom tho company has sold goods and recoived in paymont thoroof promis sory notes, which wont to protost. Leo, Bloom & Co., wholesale liquor dealers of Louisville, havo niado an as signment. Liabilities, $70,000 ; assets, $30,000. What Vorepaugh Left. Italilnil Him. At Montgomery, Ala., Thursday morn ing, after Forepaugh's circus left, tho mangled remains of ono of his inon woro found near the sido track by tho grounds where tho circus had exhibited tho night beforo. Ho had boon ruu over by a train, and tho circus loft without discovering it. His namo is not known, but a badgo on his person reads "Groom No. 11, SIiooUue Hlinselt on a Train.

A STKANGE OCCURRENCE A DEAD MAN TURNS IU BIS SHROUD. The Remarkable Manner In Which Prepa rations (or a Funeral "Were Interrupted The flrave to lie Kept Upon. While a funerai wake was iu progress at West Brighton, Staten Island, Thursday, the corpse turned over in the coffin, to the great fright and excitement of the rela tives and friends. Oa Monday morning Daniel Dempsa,- an undertaker, was summoned to tvkome of Mrs. Connolly, on Henderson JrVenue, to take charge of the interment of her son Michael, aged twenty-eight years, who sho said died on Sunday night. Mr. Dempsey intimated that it would not be necessary to put the body on ice immediately, but that he would call in the afternoon with an ice box. Mr. Dempsey then applied an em balming substance over tho body and laid it on a board near an open window, where tho body was ' ' laid out " in the old fashion of an Irish wake. The friends of the family in New York and Brooklyn assem bled at tho houso, and by nino o'clock at night tho crowd was so great that the neighbors gonerously offered the use of their houses. Candles were lighted, pipes were smoked, tobacco and snuff were passed, prayers were offered at intervals and whatever virtues the young man possessed in life were rehearsed during the night. At midpight the mother of tho deceased sent again for tho undertaker and gave instructions to have tho family gravo opened at Flatbush cemetery. This order was promptly carried out and on Tuesday morning the undertaker arrived at tho houso and found tho body still unchanged. Tho time for the funeral was fixed for Wednesday at 10 o'clock. At 7 in tho moruiug Mr. Dempsey placed iho body in coffin and shortly atter his doparturo a messenger was dispatched for him. Ho was not at his residence, however, and the messenger was obliged to cross iu a boat to Bergen Point, whither Mr. Dempsey had gono to his othor establishment. When Mr. Dempsey and tho messenger reachod the house it was near the ap pointed time for tho funeral. " Ob, my boy is not dead at all !'' screamed tho mother, as Mrs. Dompsoy entered. The undertaker was speechless for a for moments. He supposed that tho poor woman had become crazed with grief. "No, Mr. Dempsey," cried Mrs. Con nolly's daughter, grasping him by tho shoulder ; " please don't take my brother away to-day. He is alive yet." "What do you mean, anyhow ? ' gasp3d out Mr. Dempsey at last. " Ob," said Miss Connolly, " you had not gone away half an hour after placing him in tho coffin when I went to look at him and saw that he had loaned over on ono side. I screamed and mother, with six or seven women and two men who were in the room, rushed over and looked in at the body. I put my Jiaud on his forehead and so did everyone present and they all declared tho body was cold." Mr. Dcmpsoy was dumbfounded. " He must be dead," he answered. " But look at the natural color of tho face," said Mrs. Connolly. " That arises from tho preserving qual ity of the embalming stuff which I ap plied," was the reply. The excitement spread rapidly and tho room of tho dead was soon crowded. The undertaker at this predicament was puzzled for somo time. At length, seeing that neither the relatives nor friends could bo pacified, ho advised thorn to send for a physician aud that iu the meantime ho would under no circum stances remove tho body until signs of de composition wcro visible. Ho then placed tho body again on its back in tho coffin and hurt ied off in his wagon in quest of a doctor. Shortly afterward Drs. Walzerand Am brose arrived and held a consultation. They recommended that tho body bo kept iu tli ; houso at least ono day more. "Yes," said tho distracted mother, "anal will keep my boy here for the next ten year?, aye, forever, if he keeps his color as ho does now," and she rush ed to tho coffin and passionately kissed the body. Tho scene at this time defied descrip tion. Women screamed, men rushed to and fro and drove away in the carriages they had hired to attend the funeral and the crash of tho curiosity seekers to gain admission to the house was fearful. Friday morning tho physicians called again and found no perceptible chango in the appcaranco of the body. The body still remains in the house and the excite ment throughout tho village is intense. A reporter met tho undertaker's messen ger on his way to Flatbush cemetery with instructions to keep tho grave open till further orders. A messago was also dis patched to tho pastor of a Catholic church iu Brooklyn, to which tho body was con veyed, explaining the cause of tho dolay. OTIlKlt HAPPKNINGS OF THE DAT. Death or Two Persons who Wero Poisoned byKatlne PnmpKla l'le. On Thursday last tho family of Charles II. Garbcr, of Norristown had pumpkin pio for dinner, of which all ato heartily. The flour with which tho pio crust was baked subsequently proved to contain quantities of crystallized arsenic. When tho victims of tho poison woro attacked with pains iu tho abdomen and violent vomiting Dr. Mahlon Preston, the family physiciau, was called in. Ho treated them for malarial fever. Dr. Munstead, tho family physician of tho visitors, also was called in. Ho prescribed for tho samo disorder. Tho ladies wero removed to their homes after a few days. Mr?. Gar bcr had but a slight attack. Henry B. Garbcr, tho only son, recently admitted to tho Montgomery county bar, is very weak and not expected to survive Mr. Garbcr, tho head of tho family, died Thurs day morning at half-past eleven o'clock. Last Saturday afternoon Mrs. Garbcr, having an errand to do, called from the street Iittlo Ivan Stcinbright, a four-year old son of John Stcinbright. In reward for the hoy's favor Mrs. Garbor kindly gavo him and his little sister each a piece of pumpkin pio, which sho had baked tho Wednesday previous, and some of which sho had sot before her family and visiting friends. Tho Iittlo girl ato a mouthful, but, disliking tho taste, gavo her piece to her little brother, who ato both piecos. Later in tho afternoon Ivan was takon violently sick and died early on the follow ing morning. A post mortem examina tion showed a quantity of arsenic in tho stomach. A small piece of Mrs. Harbor's pumpkin pio was fed by Dr. Ellwood Cor son, tho boy's attending physician, to his oat. The cat was seized with violont vom iting within twenty-flvo minutes aud has not been seen sineo. Dr. Corson obtained half a pound of her family IJour from Mrs. Garbor for chemical analyzation, but found it was unnecessary, an ho could pick from tho flour crystals of tho poison. Mrs. Garber keeps her flour in a crook in hur kitchen. Sim used somo of it two weeks ago, hut without bad effects. The poisoned pumpkin pio was baked from tho samo flour a wook later. Homo ono prob ably throw tho anionic into the crock in tho meantime. On Wednesday Mrs. Gar bor had lolt tho houso for awhilo, leaving tho back door ajar, and sho supposes that during her absence somo ono had entered tin) houso and had dono tho mischiof.

At Victoria, B. 0., two innu named KiHiM, father and son, wero driving a :i;:mi lilli'd with powder for Iho railway works, when the powder exploded, blow ing tho horses and the wagon to pieces. Tho father was walking behind the wagon and the son driving. Both Were fright fully mangled, their clothes torn off, eyes blown out and limbs fractured. They managed, however, to stagger along the road until they met a settler, who assisted them to a town and summoned a doctor. The father died soon after and the dying. son is C1VIL-SEKV1CE KEPORIU TO THE rORK The Delaware Senator Thinks the KepubU- can Party Is broken Up What is Iicmaoded ot the Democrats. Senator Bayard was in Philadelphia on Thursday, and said that he was greatly pleased with tho result iu his state, no commented upon the result in Now Castle county as somewhat surprising to him in that tho figures show that tho lull Repub lican voto was cast for Deck Harring ton's ticket, whereas it h:ul been hoped that the largo element of high respecta bility in tho Republican party in New Castle county would repudiate the shame less attempts to make Harrington the po litical boss of the state. On election day in Delaware Senator Bayard stood at tho polls in his ward all day long, and worked as hard as the most enthusiastic ward politician. In regard to tho national aspect of Tuesday's election tho Delaware senator said that ho did not doubt that tho effect will bo to break up the Republi can party in tho United States ; in fact, that tho election clearly shows that the Republican party is in tho samo position as tho Whig party was in 1854, when it weut to pieces, with tho difference that there is now no such great question in volved in American politics as that which gave life to tho party which took tho place of the routed Whigs. "lam, however, particularly pleased," continued the senator, "to .see how signal has been tho failure of tho Stalwart plan to overthrow the ascendency of deceut government in tho South by a&istiug to power a set of political advonturerh, whoso success could not havo been lees dreaded than tho return to power of tho carpet-bag government of the Reconstruction days. Tho prostitution of high official power to place tho peoplo of tho South under, if possible, nioro cruel political taskmasters than they were cursed with in the high tido of tho rule of tho Moseses and tho Bul locks has failed of its purpose. What Mahono has made of Virginia, it was plan ned that others should mako of other Southern states. AH good men must re joice that such a plan of Rspublicanizing the South could not succeed." Ono thing which tho senator expressed himself as quite sure of was that the elec tion ererywhero is a tremendous rebuke of tho administration aud its open repudi tion of civil reform, and that it brings to tho front moro prominent than anything else the resistless demand for a complete reform of tho civil service. Ho did not expect to sco this in the national adminis tration while Arthur's term lasts, but iu the different btates at onco there would be a radical and salutary change in tho administration of tho pub lic scrvico, and tho noxt national Administration, iu view of Tuesday's re sult, must inevitably bo an administration, tho first purposo of which will be to cs. tablish a system of civil scrvico reform, based upon tho highest demands of effi ciency and character. Tho current of popular demand to which tho Democratic party has already wisely yielded for the best and purest men at tho head of affairs the senator thinks, will not be opposed by tho party hereafter. No men can and no men should bo allowed to press them selves to tho front who in character aro not above suspicion, and whoso records aro not beyond reproach. PER&OJNAjl,. Mks.
