LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCE!! WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1SS:J.
Uancastcr Intelligencer.
WEDNESDAY EVENING. JAN- 10. ieS3.
Mr. Gewen's Future.
The very positive statement lately cur
rent that Mr. Gewen proposes immedi
ately te resign the presidency of the
Heading railroad company, was quickly
found te be false en inquiry being made
of Mr. Gewen himself. He said, what
he has said for some years, that he pre
mised te remain at the head of his cer
poratien until it emerged from its diffi
culties and it was rehabilitated as a div
idend paying read. Seme persons ven
ture the opinion that even in this event
Mr. Gewen will net resign his charge,
which has become, through the union
of Mr. Vanderbilt'.s projected mads, a
very important railroad system. Hut
there is no reason for discrediting
Mr. Gewen's desire te be relieved of
railroad administr.iti m. There are
ether fields of lab ir which are mere con
genial te his tastes and in which he is
litted te shine with great lustre. One
thing, however, may be relied upon with
a ure.it dtal of certainty; which is
that Mr. Gewen will net be forced out of
the presidency of the Heading. He will
net go out until he is ready. A part of
the statement about his retirement, was
that his place would be lilled by Mr.
V 1 1 1-rbilt, who was asserted te control
tlie It jading corporation by the extent
nt his interest in the stock. Here is a
uislake. He is an influential member
of the Readinz corporation, but net a
controlling one. Mr. Gewen has abun
dantly shown that he is master of his
company. Very energetic efforts have
been made te shake him out of the tree,
but they have never disturbed his held
upon it. When he .seemed in danger
that the powerful l'ennsylvania : ail ail
read's inleicsts would succeed in
destroying him, Mr. Yanderbilt came te
his aid and Mr. Gewen accepted his
assistance. Many of his friends thought
that he was escaping fiem Scyll.i into
Charybdis. and that Yanderbilt, notor netor noter
iiusly seliish in all his operations,
would drop Mr. Gewen very hard.
He certainly does net support him out
of any sentimental feeling, lie is satis
lied that his interests are beat subserved
by co-operation with him ; or lie is afraid
of him. The time has passed when he
could have disposed of Mr. Gev.en. To
day if either one was te be forced eat of
the Reading it is clear enough that it
w mid be Yanderbilt before Gewen.
The Senate lY.iinnIltcc.
There is a semblance of fairness about
the composition of the state Senate com
mittees as made up and announced by
President pre tern, llejburn. livery Re
publican gets a chairmanship, exceplthe
president's nearest friend, Grady, who
declined te take any. Every Democrat
gets a place, and Senators Wallace, Hall
and Wolverton, distinguished by senior
ity of service and prominence of leader
ship, are fitly assigned te such import
ant committees as finance, judiciary gen
eral and apportionment. Senater Hall,
the Democratic nejn'mee against Rey
burn, is complimented with a chairman
ship, and Senater Emery's assignment
te the chairmanship of the finance com
mittee, Stewart's te constitutional
reform and E vet hart'.-, te federal rela
tions, are all in the line of fair dealing
te thiK-e of his party te whom Rey burn
owed less than te Lee. who is given the
less important cemmitter of new coun ceun
t'es and county seats.
On the ether hand, the Independents
have been wer.deifullyauil.it seems, in a
spirit of s-arcasm, grouped upm thecem.
mittees of constitutional reform, cen-t-nnial
and accounts ; they have been
rigorously excluded from the commit
tees en railroads, corper.it ions ami legis
lative and congressional appnitiemnent ;
the Republican part of the committee en
municipal affairs is net made up ".villi a
view te promote Philadelphia reform ;
aid, while Senater C'exe is assigned te
five committees, he is net planed en
these of such importance as his ability
and potentiality in the affairs of this
stite should have commanded for him.
It pleases certain ignorant or mali
cious newspapers, which never have any
thing but sympathy for public plunder
ing and a kindly fellow feeling for public
thieves, le insist that because leferm
begins with lopping ofisupmllueus offices
at Harrisburg it must nocessaiily end
there. As we have said before, " most
certainly the dispensing with a dexen or
mere superfluous employees and r.llieeis,
and the saving thereby te the state of
ten or twelve thousand dollars, will net
be the most impertan' test of fidelity te
public trust te which the Legislature
will be subject. Larger subjects must
engage its attention. Rreadcr questions
must confront its members and try their
powers as well as their honesty." Rut
as the election of officers and the ap
pointment of employees was the first
duty confronting the Democratic Heusa,
it was all important that at the outset
the members should prove themselves
able le sacrifice party patronage
for the public geed. Their fail
ure te rise te this level
In this small mailer would naturally
create distrust of their sinceritj and
discount their pretentiens te leferm in
matters in which the public had larger
interest and they themselves less per
sonal and partisan concern. If reform
shall step with the dismissal of some
loafers it will be slight reform indeed,
but as the way te reform is te reform the
fact that it begins in the organization
of the Heuse is no reason why it should
net continue through its legislation.
If the bill introduced Dy Mr. Butter Butter
mere into the stale Heuse of Represen
tatives, reducing the number of em
ployees and officials of the Legislature
correctly reported it is net judiciously
framed. The Heuse can much mere
easily dispense with doorkeepers than
with transcribing clerks, and the journal
clerk is far mere necessary than the
numerous janitors allowed by the new
bill. It is doubtful whether any of the
clerical offices new provided for can be
spared unless it be the message clerk,
but the janiterships might well be in
cluded under some new regulation by
which the care of the Heuse and all its
sub chambers would be put under some
single and responsible charge. The
present division of responsibilities be
tween the department of public band
ings and grounds, janitors and scrub
women makes tin stale pay three piiets
for this rvrvice.
It is understood that Cel. Pressly X.
Guthiie, of Pittsburgh, has been ten
dered by Governer-elect Pattison
the pesiti-n of adjutant general
of the state, which officer has the
direction of the National Guard. The
appointment is a geed one. It will
give satisfaction te the public and te the
party. A soldier by meritorious experi
ence in the late war, a National Guards
man by colonelcy of the IStli regiment,
of military bearing and manly manners,
Cel. Guthrie is eminently qualified for
the place. This is the first proper con
sideration, of ceuise, governing his
selection. The fitness of it is emphasized,
however, by the fact that he is a Demo
crat without guile and hails ftem the
county which gave the second largest
Democratic vote last year.
Tin: gratifying newscjUK-3 from llar
risburg te-day that the Democratic
Heuse ciuaus this morning rejjlvcl te
defer filling thirteen offices established
by law until it is ascertained that they
are ind spensible te an efficient and legal
organization of the Heuse. This pause
before appropriating patronage that is at
hand is highly e..d,t .Me Le the majority
of the Heuse and will go far toward es
tiblishing public eentidenca in its sin
cerity for reform. Mr. Sharpe deserve
special credit for insisting that b.-feiv
members take the $100 usually allowed
for postage there shall be an investiga
tion te determine whether or net postage
is covered by the ; prar.iiiisities " for
which $"t is the full allowance.

Rats arc very apt te take heed for ihe
moirew. Eggs, which they liave been
known tt carry fiem the airet te the
cellar, and ether tempting feed instead el
being devemed instantly, are steied away
for the hour of need. A gentleman who
fed his own pointers, noticed through a
hole inthedoer that a number of rats ate
from the trough with his dogs, which did
net molest them. He resolved te sheet
the intruders ; se wheu he served out the
fecd he kept the dogs away. Net a rat
came te taste, although he could occasion eccasion occasien
ly tee them peeping out of their holes, for
they wcre tee well versed inhuman na
tmc te venture forth without the protec
tion of their canine guard. When the dogs
were let in, the rats joined and fed with
them as usual. The forethought of the
rats is iudeed proverbial, and se far from
being careless or selfish, these interesting
little folk are proved te be dutiful chil
dren, careful parents, and friends in need.

Ou Monday afteruoen, just as the gas
was being lighted, a young man enleied
the forward ladies' cabiu of a Fulton ferry
beat. All the scats were occupied except
one, and he made his way unsteadily te
it. He had e.vidently been making tee
many New Year's calls. As the beat
started he placed his hat en the beat and
went te leek at himself in the mirror. In
his absence a colored woman with a
basket of clothes entered and took
the vacant seat. The young man
saw her and rushed te get ahead of
her, but was, tee late. "That's my seat!"
he exclaimed. "Ne, sab; dis yar's de
ladies cabbing." "But I had the seat
before, and you are sitting en ." "Yes
sar. Ye' was heah befe', but I is heah
behind, an' it's neue. e' ycr bizness what
I's settin' en." " Yes, Madam, but"
"Dais no use velesserpcdin' ter me. I

Ge 'way or I'll call a essifer." lie was
compelled te wait until the beat reached
the slip before he could obtain his tile,
and when he recovered it it looked like a
concertina in repese, and he had te try it
en his feet before he could use it.

What the Defendant Hits te H.iy About It
Pittsburgh Leader.
In yesterday's Lender was published the
fact that a bill iu equity had bjen tiled by
divers parties who were mentioned in the
article against the Hen. J as II. Hepkins,
the tenor of which bill gees te show that
Mr. Hepkins had made money out of the
Pittsburgh Southern read, whereby they
were left. This looked like rathrr a seii seii
eus charge, and te-day our repeiter inter
viewed Mr. Hepkins en Iho subject. As
might be expected he felt very wroth ever
the matter.
" I might take a mouth or se te answer
this charge." said he, " but. I will net. I
have te go away shortly and it. will incon
venience me te answer it but I propose te

"What have you te say in regard te it -.'
" I have this te say : That evei alle
