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.

There has been a review of the Amer

It is a terrible story indeed that comes
from New Yerk of an insane young mother

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

' 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.

aketrh of His Vigorous Career as ."llrmtcr
mid Itlshep of the Methodist
Episcopal Chnrch.
Jesse Tiuesdcll Peck, bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal church, who died at
Syracuse, New Yerk, yesterday, had al
ready passed the period of threj score
years and ten usually allotted te man. He
wad born at MiddleL'eld, N. Y., August
14, 1811, licensed as a local preacher at
the age of 18, and joined the Oneida con
ference in 1832. Frem 1837 te 1841 he
principal of the Gouverneur Weslcyau
seminary. and from 1841 te 1848 of the
Trey Cenference academy at West Peult
ney, Vt. Frem 1848 te 1852, he was
president of Dickinsen college and after
wards was pastor of the Foundry chnrch.
Washington, D. C, till 1851, when he was
appeiutcd sccietary aud editor of the tract
seciety of the M. E. church. After a pas
teral term iu the Green street church, New
Yerk, he was transferred te California,
where he labored eight years as pastor
and presiding elder. On returning again,
te the East, he was pastor iu Peekskil),
Albany and Syracusa, Y. N, till 1872
when he was elected bihhep, and has since
made Syracuse his headquarters. He was
ene of the founders and first president of
the beard of trustees of Syracuse uni
versity. He was the author of "The Cen
tral idea of Christianity," "The True
Weman, or Life and IlappinehS at Heme
and Abroad," " What Mu&t I De te be
Saved," and "The History of a Great
Republic Considered from a Christian
Standpoint," works remarkable mainly
for their sound sense and earnest Christian
spirit. Of these books " The History of
the Great Republic" was the most ambi
tious and is the most widely known. Mr.
Peck was a large man, of fiue appoarance
aud of healthyC vigorous life. His brother
Geerge, also born in Middlefield, N. Y.,
in 1797, and who died iu Scranton, this
state, in 187C, was almost as widely known
as Bishop Peck. Iu fact, the name has
been associated with whatever was gen gen
uinely sound and progressive in the
Methedist church during the whole of this
century. His was a life well spent and
the gratitude of many will be no small
share of his reward.

standing in front of the old buildings
which are being tern down en East King

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

dashing down the hill. Tbey struck the
milk wagon upsetting both it and the

The Blcciluc.
On reaching the opera heuse the regi
ment was seated by company in the par
quet, the staff officers and the executive
committee occupying seats en the stage.
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. He ended his excellent
address by reciting the beautiful pe'em :
"The Blue and the Grey."
Dr. J. S. Smith, of this city, was uext
introduced and read a historical sketch of
the organization aud campaigning of the
regiment during the nhie mouths it was
in service.
The meeting thou adjourned te rcas

Tlin Banquet.
Ma.-nucrcher hall was set with four rows
of tables, extending, nearly the entire
length of the room. Shortly after S o'clock
the doers were opened and the regiment
filed iu and took seats at the tables. The
officers and orators took position iu the
northwest corner of the hall. The room
was jammed. 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.
After which tlrn colonel announced tl.u
