FEIDAT EVENING, MAY 18, 1883, Onr Answer. rh Pditerial article of the Philadel phia Times, which we reprint, calls en Governer Pattison rather than the In telligencer te answer it, but se far as it reflects en the independence, the fair dealing and the truth telling of this journal, or the candor of any of its edi tors, it will be as promptly met as it can be easily answered. Tn the first riace.the Intelligences as it has had previous occasion te ex plain te the Times, is net " the oracle of the Democratic state organization " nor has it ever assumed te be the organ thereof. Its editors alone are responsi ble for its utterances, which are their independent opinions ; and they are as free te form and express them, without " suppression " or "perversion," as the Philadelphia Times or any ether journal in the land. What Mr. Hensel says and does as chairman of the Democratic state committee he is responsible for as such ; the distinction between his functions as chairman and his position as editor is quite as clear as the distinction which Cel. McClure once eloquently made before the supreme court between his duties as an editor and his rights as a lawyer. As one of the editors of the Intelli gence!:, responsible for all its editorial utterances, except when his dissenting opinion is expressed, he has never as sumed te magnify or diminish the sig nificance of its opinions by reason of his official relations with the Democratic organization. 3ut, for the sake of the present issue raised by the Tt'mes,we insist that neither the Intelligencer nor the chairman of the Democratic state committee has done or said anything in public or pri vate te justify the charge of a lack of candor or te call for correction. The editorial which the Times reprints, was published in the Intelligencer, (tha Times disingenuously emits te state), before Cel. McClure's explanation of hew he came te complain in the New Yerk JlciaU of May, that Gov. Pattison had appointed a recorder before moving for the abolition of the office, when in November he had unqualifiedly written te Mr. Pattison. that he, the governor elect, was " right in the suggestion te appoint a recorder at once," and that he, Editor McClure, was " wrong in sug gesting delay for legislative action." But when the veteran editor's explanation of this apparent inconsistency did appear the Intelligencer saw no reason te change its mind, that he had overleaped himself in his New Yerk Herald assault upon the administration. Cel. McClure 's allegation that his unqualified recem mendatien of the immediate appointment of a recorder, was modified by an under standing that contemporaneously with the appointment the governor was te recommend the abolition of the office, is net shown by any evidence that has been adduced by him, and it was only the evidence thus far produced that the Intelligencer commented upon when it said later : The governor may have deceived the worthy and trustful McClure and meant te be vicious, when his appearance was virtuous ; but unfortunately for Mr. Mc Clure he does net present the evidence te prove bis case. The record is ainiinst him. He cannot fail te observe that his letter te the governor does net say a word in modification of its approval of the up peintment of new officers. If Brether McClure bad been an individual inexpe rienced in the wiles of the world acd the politician and the uses and abuses of lan guage, we might net wonder that he said one thing in writing when he really meant another ; but it is certainly surprising te hear from an editorial warrior of se many battles and scars that he had written ever his signature an unqualified approval of certain action, which yet he did net mean te approve uuless it was cotemperaueous with certain ether action. The editor of the Times raised an issue with Governer Pattison net discussed in the extract from the Intelligencer of which it complains when it charged that he withheld a material portion of the truth in suppressing an understanding between them which modifies the mean ing of Cel. McClure's letter. Of that the Intelligencer knew nothing ; with that it had nothing te de. It will leave it te Governer Pattison te answer. Ne such understanding aupeared en the. record ; if the editor of the Times alleges it and the governor denies it the burden of proof rests with the Times. What the Intelligencer has said it reiterates, that McClure's letter advised the governor te de " just whathedid " nominate a recorder, without waiting ler legislative action. What took place be tween them outside of this letter we de net knew, and we will be better quali fied te comment upon it after Gov. Pat tison has replied te the challenge which the Times makes in its assault upon his veracity. The Ttmes just as widely mistakes or misstates the position of this journal and of the chairman of the Democratic state committee when it intimates that the interest of either one or the ether in " having the governor vindicate him self " would lead it te play the role, un known te it, of a superserviceable party organ in publicly defending any ' 'weak -nesser felly" of the Democratic state administration. It proposes te judge the administration fairly, ' ' nothing ex tenuate nor aught set down in malice " The Times has net done se. The public may " have a vital interest " in an Issue of veracity between the Times and the governor, but neither Chairman Hensel nor the Intelligencer is called upon te help either in this issue by suppres sien, perversion or in any ether way than by fair comment upon the facts as they are presented. It is no mere in tUje con fidence of Gov. Pattison nor any mere responsible for his performances than the Times ; and it proposes te held the scales fairly between them. "Pkocteu Knett has been nominated for governor of Kentucky with a degrte of enthusiasm that bodes his triumphant election and at the same discounts the allegations of corruption in securing the necessary votes which made his .slender majority. Kentucky is assured s gentleman and a scholar in its guber. naterial chair, who has little sympathy With the shot-gun notions of social order which the erratic Watterseu preclaimF. The convention, tee, while sending "words of cheer and congratulation te the Democracy of the Union en the magnificent prospects of victeryn the next presidential election," and assuring them " that as heretofore the ' Old Guard ' of this commonwealth will be at the front in the battle for the geed of fthe whole people of our republic," took geed care net te make the fulfillment of that pledge dependent en the incorporation into the national platform of the Wattersenian shibboleth. The next Democratic convention will be likely te nominate candidates and enun ciate a platform en which Indiana, Pennsylvania and New Yerk can be car ried without losing Kentucky. It is new reported from Harrisburg that Senater Stewart and hi3 fellow In dependents will net justify the expecta tions formed of their partisan support of a gerrymandering congressional appor tionment, but have agreed upon a bill somewhat mere liberal te the Democrats, which they hope te get the credit of offering and passing ; and which gives the Democracy at least eleven districts and may therefore be accepted by them. An arrangement like the Stewart bill which puts Berks and Lebanon together ; Northampton, Lehigh and Carben ; Sehylkill and Columbia ; Wyoming and Luzerne is far mere nearly just than the McCracken gerrymander. Though net yet fair te the Democrats it is better than the existing plan. Te be sure, epe of the Stewart dis tricts, the Nineteenth, .reaching from the west branch of the Susquehanna al most te the Potomac, is somewhat mon strous in its outline, and tha desire of Stewart te get himself into the Dauphin district may have inspired his bill mere than a sense of justice, but en the whole the measure gives les3 cause for com plaint from the Democrats and mere hope of agreement than anything yet proposed en the Republican side. Wallace beat Sexten by fifty-live points in the billiard match. Tun stock gamblers of Wall street com plain that their business is drifting into dry ret. All the better for better busi ness. TnE prospects for a big hop crop are reported favorable. Tbis information, however, has no connection with the brewery business, nowadays. There has been a review of the Amer ican navy. The astounding fact would never have been known had net Secretary Chaudler whispeied it te a reporter, who was able te withstand the shock long enough te wire the news and then die. It is a terrible story indeed that comes from New Yerk of an insane young mother plunging cold steel into the threat of her infant ; but what sort of household ar rangement was that which left a woman, known te be a maniac, alone with a help less babe ? Henry Watterson's Courier-Journal bids the Kentucky chivalry keep the shot gun at the fire side, " mute sentinel " te " menace wives that arc weak." That is about the size of his Kentucky chivalry The wives of Kentucky should baste him with broomsticks. Congressman Finneriy, of the Na tional Irish League, who edits the Chicago Citizen, calls upon his associates te icseut the pope's disapproval of Parncll btibscrip- tieu and answer the crack of the Italian lash by boycettiDg the papal power and withholding Peter's peuce. Fiuuerty should go slew lest he break a trace. Te-day another Irishman was led te the scaffold iu Dublin and executed for impli. catien iu the Phcenix park murders. It is a question whether the hanging of Joe. Brady, the ether day, Daniel Curley te day aud these who remain te he executed have had or will have the cifect Englaud de- sires and many ether peeple suppose. In view of the spectacle of 10,000 of his coun trymen kneeling as they saw the black Hag that told them Brady had been execu ted and when prayers for the repose of his 8eul go up ftem many mere lips, it seems weak reasoning indeed that attempts te point out remedial effects resulting from this prompt disposal of the prisoners. .

All along since he startled New Yeik and the rest of the country with his preposition te present "Passion Play" and wen a geed measure of public countenance iu the end by his pertinacious attempts te have it played, he has been choked with the bad fumes of com t rooms and battered with legal decisions, until it is morally certain that he bad net learned forbcarance from the Sphinx and fertitude from the camels of the desert, he would have long age succumbed te his unequal contest. Just new he is in agitation ever the pressing demands of the individual who impersonated Pontius Pilate and the stony-hearted King Berod, during the re re hearsals of the "Passion Play," for his salary. Salmi has made it a feature of his proceedings, perhaps mere from com cem com pulsien than from inclination, te be very tardy in the payment of theso he employed, which is a thing net te be excused, even if he is a sort of Peter the Hermit trying te get up a crusade against the abbreviated apparel of ballet girls.

TUi: KENTUCKY Cl-VKNTION. l'i'octer Knett nominated for Governer. In the Kentucky Democratic state con vention early in the action Owsley's name was withdrawn aud the call of counties had net proceeded far bafore it was appar ent that Buckner was the last man in the race and would have te be dropped. His supporters consequently withdrew his name. The balloting proceeded with con siderable excitement, and the extreme closeness of the vete caused the interest te beceme intense. After the last county (Woedfoid) had been called, the friends of both Knett aud Jenes began shouting for their respective candidates, and each side claimed the nomination. It was some time before the secretaries could reckon up the vote, and iu the meantime the convention became transfeimed into a pandemonium Half a dozen speakers occupied the lloer at once, the crowd surged upon the stage, and it was at times impossible te proceed for several minutes. The official result of the vele was net announced, but bad been added as 372 for Jenes and 363 for Knett and the Jenes men were becoming jubi lant ; but at this juueture Owen county, which had heictofero given Jenes 5 votes, changed te a solid front for Procter Knett though this was net effected without a long aud very disorderly wrangle, and charges of corruption. This action of Owen county put Knett 1 vote ahead, and there was a succession of changep, most of which were lest te the ears of the secre taries en account of the noise and confus ion. Henry county changed 2 of her votes te Kuett. Several of the Louis ville districts did likewise, and overv ene of these alterations were greeted with a wild chorus of cheers. Seme of the Jenes men attempted te stem the tide, but without avail, and at last, when it was seen that Knett was eight or ten votes ahead, Jenes's friendR withdrew his name and moved that the nomination of Mr. Knett be made unanimous. The air was new filled with hats, canes and yells, and the excitement became intense The mo tion te make Mr. Knett's nomination unanimous was carried with an immense yell at 1:05 o'clock. It took three hours te go through the several ballets. When the result was reached the Knett dele gates seemed beside themselves with excitement and joy. It was the most thrilling finish ever seen in a Kentucky convention. The report of the committee en platform came in and was read. Outside of the usual stereotyped resolutions, the only thing of importance was the elause about the tariff, which was conspicuous for tile absence of Mr. Watterson's pet expression. It read as fellows : " Resolved, That our laws in relation te revenue and taxation should be se framed as te secure equality as nearly as possible, and. the insure the cuuectiuu ei revenue in me xuueu iwuvcu ient, inexpensive mannen . Calamity and Crime. A fire supposed te be of incendiary ori gin occurred yesterday morning iu a tene ment house in Suffolk street, New Yerk, and a man and a woman were severely injured by falling from a fire escape.

' Let Governer Pattison Answer i" Philadelphia Times. The Lancaster Intelligence!!, edited bv Mr. Hensel. the efficient chairman of the Democratic state committee, says : It leeks very much as If the editor et the Times In his mere zealous than discreet as sault upon the administration had again overleaped liimsclt. He criticises Mr X'uttiseii in a New Yerk Herald interview ler having appointed a recorder te succeed Laue before the Legislature hud moved en the abolition tl the office, and new the governor produecs from his scrap book and publishes :i letter irem McClure te the governor-elect advising him te de just what he did. If the editor keeps en talking there is no telling wherj the dia dia dia cloauresel his responsibility ler the ueti of the present executive may step. It is possible that Chairman Hensel is net answerable for the foregoing, as its waut of candor is net in accord with the character of the responsible editor ; but, in either case, the oracle of the Democratic state organization should correct itself. Chairman Hensel well knows that the editor of the Times never advised Gever nor Pattison " te de just what he did " in his action ou the rccerdership. He knows that the abolition of all needless offices was publicly and privately urged by the editor of this journal, in and out of season, bofero and after the late election, as Mr. Hensel aud Mr. McCluie mauy times conferred en the subject ; and he knows that Governer Pattison, alter pub licly and privately professing te desire the prompt abolition of all such offices, first tried te fill them with his personal fol lowers te give them the emoluments, and recommended the abolition of the plunder only after the Senate refused te allow his favorites te share it. The editor of the Times has distinctly declared that Governer Pattison deliber ately withheld a material portion of the truth when he published Mr. McClure's letter as justifying hia action en the recerdcrship, aud thereby sought te con con eoy a false impression te the public. On this point Mr McClure challenges Gov Gov ereor Pattison's contradiction, and no man should be niore interested iu having the governor vindicate himself tbau Chairman Hensel. Let him inquire of Governer Pat tison whether Mr. JlcClnre ever recom mended or intimated whether it would be proper te appoint a recorder or scalers of weighs and measures without an emphatic demand for the abolition of the offices. Governer Pattison will net, dare net, say that Mr. McClure ever advised anything ether than the abolition of theso offices, and he finally assented te the governor's suggestion te appoint au Independent recorder only because it- might, facilitate the repeal of the lecerder act. Instead of acting in accord with his repeated publi: pledges and hi'S voluntary private plodge te Mr. McClure, te sum mon the whole power of his adminis tration te aid in the abolition of the need less and oppressive offices in this city, Governer Pattiseu personally directed the division of the scaler et weight.; and raca surcs plunder aud nominated men for theso offices without ene word in favor of their abolition ; and he iu like manner nominated a personal follower for recorder without any official demand for the repeal of the offieusive act. If Gov. Pattison has any answer te give te these giave stato state stato ments going directly te his personal candor and official consistency. The Times will gladly give him the benefit of its wide oircle of intelligent readers of every politi cal faith. This journal has no time or space te waste in dispute with superser viceable party organs, whose editors, almost without exception, individually deplore the weakness and felly of the administration while faintly defending it in public ; but Governer Pattison has raised an issue in which the public have a vital interest and if he can excuse or defend himself, he should de ?e; and Chairman Hensel should help him in seme better way than by organ-like suppression and perversion. WAITING Vuil THEIR MASTEK. A Remarkable Koaseu Aitv.tuced for the l'arden of n t'euvlct, One of the most remarkable reasons probably ever urged for the pardon of a criminal has been presonted te the gover nor of North Carolina, in application for the release of Tim Buckner, a colored desperado confined in jail, at Plymouth, N. C. About eighteen months age Buck ner incited a riot and placed himself at the head of about 100 lawless negre lumber men who threatened te destroy the town. The governor had te call out the military before the rioters could be suppressed. Buckner was convicted and sent te jail for two years for being the ringleader of the outlaws. At the time of his arrest the nenvn owned two coendogs. Thcse daily visited the court during the trial of their master and sat by his side. After Buckner was sent- te jail they took up their vigils at the jail yard deer. During the twelve months the outlaw has been in carcerated the dogs have net been sent from their pest a smgle night. They J relieve cacn etuer auring the tray te get loed, nut at nignt ueth remain. The people of the town became attracted by this singular mark of devotion of the dumb creatures te their master and they built them a kennel near the jail deer within sight of Buckner's cell window. Governer Jarvis' wife visited Plymouth a few days age and was meved te tear3 by the wonderful attachment of Buckner's dogs. She has joined ethers in recem mending the governor te pardon Buekner, who still has a year teserve. The princi pal reasons urged for executive' clemency I are the facts above related. PEESONAL.

This meruiug about half past eight o'clock a very ugly ruuaway took place en East King street. A team with a pair each of mules and horses, hitqhed te a heavy wagon, and owned by Christian Lapp, residing near Bird-in-Hand, was standing in front of the old buildings which are being tern down en East King street near Shippen. The animals fright cued at seme falling brick and started te wards Centre Square at a furious rate. They first collided with a team, consisting of a hay wagon and mule, owned by Martin Kcudig, breaking the axle entirely off at the hub. This had very little effect ou t'jeir speed. Mcllinger's milk wagon was standing in front of the residence of Geerge D. Sprechcr, when the runaway team carae dashing down the hill. Tbey struck the milk wagon upsetting both it and the herse. The animals et the runaway team also fell down aud were all lying en one heap, in the gutter ler seme time.

The parquet circle was well filled with citizeus, quite a number of ladies being present. The gallery was alsj well fllledl The meeting was called te order by Mayer MacGenigle, who nominated Cel. Emlec Franklin as chairman. The nemi. nation was confirmed with great ap pldnse. Cel. Franklin made a spirited speech iu acknowledgment of the honor and called upon Chaplain Eiim Kirke te lead in prayer. The chaplain offered a fervent invocation, and the band followed with the natieual airs. K. Allen Levell, of Huntingdon, was then introduced aud delivered an address, recounting the early incidents of the Rebel lien, the advance of the Confederates into Maryland, their repulse by the army under McCIellan at Seuth Mountain, his great victory at Antietam, his removal from command and the disasters that followed under Burnside and Hoeker, ineluding the battles of Fredericksburg and Chancellors ville, in both or which the 122d was honor, ably engaged. After a lively air by the band, J. Davis Dufficld, esq., of Philadelphia, was intro intre duced and made an eloquent address, in which humor and pathos were happily blended. He recalled many humorens and some ludicrous incidents of the camp and the march ; graphically detailed the mero stirring events of the battles ; eon demned unstintedly the imbecility and incempetency of the commanding officers at Fredericksburg, Mary's Heights aud Chancellorsville; paid a glowing tribute te the bravery of the troops engaged, and te the memory of theye who tell en theso bloody fields; npoke highly of the valor of the enemy and the military genius of their commanders, and made a patriotic appeal for a perfect reconciliation of the North and the Seuth.

Eating and drinking were the order of the evening, aud the buzz of conversation was continuous. Cel. Franklin arose and with great ef fort secured sufficient attentien te an nonuce that Judge Ashman, of the or phans court of Philadelphia, was present, and he would ask him te respond te the teasl. " The judiciary, our protec tion iu time of peace, as the seldier: are time of war." Judge Ashman mounted a chair aud tried te make himself heard, but only with indifferent success, the neise and confusion in the back part of the hall rcu ering his speech inaudible te these net sit ting near him. J. Davis Dufiield followed, reiterating hte appeal for rtcouciliatien of the North and Seuth. Cap. Gee. F. Springer next mounted a chair, and read a large number of letters from absent members, of the regiment regretting their inability te be present.
