Heairtckft' iBterrlcw. The New Yerk World gets from Mr. Hendricks, in reply te a telegram, ask ing what he said te Turpen, a reply which does net deny that he was correctly reported by that gentleman, who Jie says was a friend te whom he talked neely, without suspicion that the conversation was te be reported, and without intent te thereby forward hi3 ownpelitu-ai in terests. It was just a free and easy conversation, you see, without uny par ticular purpose. In such a conversation Mr. Hendricks may be supposed te have expressed bis honest sentiments. But here comes Congressman Cobb, who de clares te an interviewer that he cannot believe the conversation with Turpen te have been genuine " because it does net sound like Hendricks," and its senti ments are purely the reverse of thes-e that he has often expressed te me. lie is quoted as saying tbat the country thinks extremely well of Mr. Tilden ; that it has recorded its very high opin ion of him as a man of honor and integ rity; that be personally holds him in the highest regard and all that sere of thing Well, that is se different from the terms in which I have heard him speak et him that I cannot bring myself te believe that he ever uttered such sentiments. His views relative te Mr. Tilden, as he has often expressed them te me, are any thing but these expressed in the inter view." Then Mr. Watterson comes along and declares that Mr. Hendricks never had confidential relations with Mr. Tilden ; and some one starts a story that they have never been friends since they met at Saratoga in their early candidature, and Mrs. HendrickB expressed her opin ion that Tilden's cash had get him te the head of the ticket, when her hus band's brains should have get it for him. It Is no news te the public that there has been no love lest between the candidat e en the old ticket, se that Congressman Cobb's surprise at Mr. Hendricks' warm expressions of admiration of Mr. Tilden, expressd te his friend Turpen, is net te be wondered at. And yet it is undeni niably Mr. Hendricks' privilege te change his mind. He has had a close interview with eternity through a pestiferous tee, and might be expected with this expe rience te be disposed te cultivate arnica ble relations with all men, and te be ready te forgive his worst enemy. Te be sure, it was going a little further than the situation called for te reform the old devil Tilden, as he appeared before the educating tee experience As an augur, after the tee's teaching, Mr. Hen dricks might have been a little mere re served in his laudation of Mr. Tilden te Mr. Turpen, but we need net And great fault with him for his benignity. If we all had his inducement te exercisa charity te all mankind maybe we would all forgive Mr. Tilden for permitting us te be undone in 187G. As the work of the Legislature comes te be better understood and appreciated the independent and even the mere lib eral llepublican sentiment of the state unhesitatingly pronounces the present General Assembly the cleanest that has met since the Stalwart Republicans have controlled 'neither branch of it. Ne measure has passed that the Repub lican party can claim credit for, al" though most of the best legislation effected has been knocking for years at the doers of Legislatui es controlled by that body. Te be sure, some that wts geed has failed and its failure we held inexcusable, but, as is pointed out, sins of emission by a legislative body are the least serious, and even a little geed mixed with evil from a Pennsylvania Legislature is much te be thankful for. TnE governor has called an extra ses sien of the Legislature as he was ex pected te de, and has summoned it te meet immediately ; which we also think was the right thing te de. The weather is het and legislation will be uncem. fortable : but for that reason it is likely te be hastened. The members who failed in five months te de what their duty re quired them te de, were entitled te no consideration for their comfort in de ciding the time at which they should be called in extra session. The legislation they emitted needed te be promptly done, and the best time te have it done was the earliest. TnE meeting of the American Medical association in Cleveland is made notable by the conspicuous absence of any del egates from the New Yerk Medical seci ety. Tbat organization has disbarred itself from fellowship in the general as sociatien by adoptingacede of "ethics," which permits its members te consult with homeeopaths. The New Yerk seci ety can probably stand this exclusion aa well as the American Medical assecia tien. At best the national society must he regarded as the exponent of a special school or system and net of the whole science and profession of medicine. It was a triumph for Senater Hume, still better a victory for his party, and, what is best of all, a point of great ad vantage te the commonwealth, that the Heuse last night reached and passed the bill requiring the state treasurer te in vest the surplus millions of the sinking fund in interest bearing government and state bends, instead of leaving it in the Kemble and ether political banks te make money for the bosses and for the Republican campaign fund. The man who carried the mail from the state lunatic hospital te the Harris burg posteffice and back was murdered by an inmate, and the state was asked te pension him because " he had been a soldier." Could anything be mere ridicu lous ? And yet the bill actually passed both Houses and had te be vetoed by the governor, who, of course, made no hesi tancy about thes disposing of it. Gov. Pattisex has very properly and gracefully complimented his predeces sor, ex-Governer Heyt, by making him a Member of the beard of pnblic charities. Besides, it is an eminently fit selection. Ex Governer Heyt is well qualified for the place: se are the ether appointees, Mr. HarrleoD'aed Dr. Morten. The report of the Democratic Heuse' committee en the failure of the Repub lican Senate te agree te an apportion ment fixes the responsibility for tbat failure just where it belongs. There is no great difference in the political strength of the two parties in the state. At most the Republicans have a slender plurality, and en a fair vote, relieved from the advantage te the party in power of having the patronage, the Democrats number as many as the Re publicans in Pennsylvania. "When, therefore, the Democrats offered te give the Republicans 17 out of 28 congress men, and 28 out of 50 senators, they of fered mere than they were in fairness bound te concede and when this was rejected the Democrats were justified in refusing te give mere or take less. . Anything mere ridiculous than the attempt of the Massachusetts Legisla ture te impeach the validity of one of Butler's vetoes it would be difficult te imagine. It was written by him and signed while he was in the state, and was afterwards sent by messenger under his directions, but because it happened te be transmitted while he was out of the state the legislative solens in the op position te him sought te invalidate it. Of course the supreme court has de clared against them, but their position was se puerile and trifling that it is easy te understand hew a man of Butler's calibre can profit se largely from the character of Hie opposition te him. There are some very geed men en the Heuse committee te investigate the relations of the Standard oil company te the state ; but net one of the Senate committee is satisfactory. Senater Hall, as the counsel of the standard company, and in the very matter, tee, which prompted this inquiry, is disqualified te act en the committee. Senater Ilerr's relations make him an equally undesira ble member ; while Grady could net investigate anything intelligently. A movement is en feet in the Century club te erect a life size statue in bronze of the late William Culleu Bryant, in New Yerk. The reported incident of a brave jjirl in isew uaveu grappling witu ;t r'ogre as- sailaut and making a desperate effectual battle agaiust him may serve a geed pur pose. Se many cases have been reported lately from that section of "educated," "rofiued" and "beautiful" young women eloping with uegrecs that the example of Jennio Miles' way of dealing with ad vances from that race may be wholesetno Ax eutertainment net set down en the bills was provided by the local faculty in Cleveland yesterday for the visiting delegates te the Medical association. Twe of the town doctors, connected with Woestcr aud Erie medical colleges, be tween which thore has been a bitter qua:: el existing as regards the possession of paupers' bodies, had a street knock down, '.'.liieh made mere talk thau even Dr. Alice's entertaining address. A I'M i.n in Washington called the Oazelle, aud which by its own showing, seems te be icady te lend itself te what ever cauae pays best, comes te us charged te the muzzle with abuse of the Star Reute prosecution. It also makes infam ous charges against the private character of Secretary Felger. Evidently thore is no work se dirty that a scavenger te de it, cannot be found among the hireling Washington newspapers. In view of the recent and unexplained manifestations of warmth en the part of Mr. Hendricks for Tilden, a Baltimore Sun correspondent reveals what he says has heretofore beeu withheld from publi cation that all during the campaign of 187C, thore was an oxtreme coldness be tween these two distinguished gentlemen, that Hendricks felt himself ignered and was greatly incensed, that during the electoral troubles they had ue conference and se bitter was the feeling that had Tilden and Hendricks obtained the offices te which they were elected it is quite certain that the latter would never have darkened the White Heuse doers during the whole lour years term of office. Se well informed an agricultural au thority as the Germanleicn Telegraph, and ene se seubitive te the accuracy of its opinions, should net have jumped te the conclusion that the exhaustive tendency of tobacco culture is long established, aud its profitableness, compared with the usual field crops,is doubtful, because it has beeu found se in Western New Yerk. It has net se here, whero tobacco culture has been mero fairly aud fully tested than anywhore olse. By careful tillage the general fertility of the soil has been en hanced under its cultivation, aud the far superior profitableness of tobacco raising compared with the usual field crops is well established. The charming paper en the " Scotch Irish," or, mere properly speaking, the " Ulster Scot," written by our gifted towns woman, Mrs. M. J. Kevin, although read originally te a select circle of our citizens, has enough general interest te justify its republication, net only because of the writer's pleasant style and interest ing reminiscences, but because the people of whom she writes formed such a consid erable element of our original citizenship, especially in the lower end of Lancaster county and ether Presbyterian districts. Nene who have ebserved the sturdy and enduring characteristics of this race of people cau fail te find interest in Mrs. Kevin's acoeunt of their social and re. ligieus life.

ESCAPING WITH A VICTIM'S WIFE. James V. Creat Assailed by Charles Higbley near Camden and Left Alene te Die In a iMtch. Although ten days had elapsed and the victim had been bnried is was net discov ered until Tuesday, and then only through the evidence adduced at a coroner's in quest, that a murder bad been perpetrated at the threshheld of a farm house within a few miles of Camden. Several farmers who drove along the Marlton pike, a few miles outside of Camden, en the 28th of May noticed the figure of a man apparently deeply intoxicated. They took no pains, however, te discover the real condition of the pitiful object beyond presuming that the man was some worthless tramp, sleep ing off the effects of a druukeu debauch ; and thus for thirty-six hours James C. Cress lay, within sight of passers-by, with a mortal weuud, dealt by a quondam friend, who had fled with the victim's wife. The attention of Justice Miles, of Stockton township, was finally called te the insetibible condition of the man, and Dr. P. W. Beal, finding evidences of vio lence, made an examination of the wounds which he pronounced te be of a very serious character, aud ordered the mau te be removed te the Rlackwoedtown hospi tal. The man did net recover conscious ness while at the hospital and died en Saturday last and was buried ou the fol lowing day. Dr. Ireland, the county physiciau of Camden, having heard from Steward Haines, ei the hospital, of the man's death aud of the circumstances surround ing hi3 discovery in a helpless condition, determined te institute a searching inves tigatieu into the affair, aud en Meuday, having ordered that the body be exhumed proceeded te make a post-mertom exami nation. It was discovered that the man's skull had been fractured, from the effect of which death had ensued. On the same day a note was received by the steward of the hospital from a woman who represen ted herself te be the wife of the deceased. Steps were immediately taken for her ap prehension, aud she was arrested Tuesday iu Camdeu aud immediately incarcerated in the county jail as a witness and will he compelled te remain in custody until the October term of the criminal court. At the inquest held by the coreuor en Tuesday her testimony threw vcrylittle light en the antecedents of the parties in volved, but was sufficient te explain the circumstances immediately preceding the crime aud led te the identification of the murdererand his subsequent ariest. She stated that the deceased was her husband, with whom she had been living at Seventh and Lembard, Philadelphia, and that ou May 28, accompanied by Charles llighley they had crossed ever te Camden and started out Federal street te Stockton township, a short distance frera Camden, iu expectation of securing employment at strawberry picking. They were given shelter aud leduiug at the home of G. W. Buthiugs, ou the farm of S. Middloteu, en the Marlton pike, four miles from Cam deu. Clese by the heuse was a barn, and duriug the forenoon of their arrival the husband started up the read, leaving his wife and Highley sitting ou the steps. On his return a difficulty arose between the men, iu which Cress accused High ley of undue intimacy with his wife. The altercation grew violent, when Highley, seizing a large hickory stick lying near, dealt Cress a terrific blew across the head, felling him te the ground aud crushing his skull. Alarmed at his conduct and fearful of the consequences llighley fled, accompanied by the wife of the man whom he had struck down, Cress had euly sufficient vitality left te crawl a short distance up the read te the spot whoie he was afterwards feuud. Mrs. Cress declares that her husband had severely beateu her that day aud that llighley had only attempted te defend her from the brutal jealousy of her hus band. At the inquest ene e( the witnesses tes tified that Justice Miles had beeu notified of the condition of the weuuded man 28 hours before he took auy step; toward relieving him or ascertaining the causes which subsequently led te his death. In giving his testimony the justice said he did net think he was the one whose duty it was te take action iu such a case. The jury, who were out euly a few minutes, returned a verdict that the deceased came te his death fieru violence at the hands of Charles Highley and ceusurcd Justice Milosferuot giving prompt attontieu te the condition of the wounded mau, with a view towards saving his life aud ascer taining the name of his assailant. Highley was arrested Tuesday uiue miles outside of Camden by Constable Mayer. His record is said te be of au uusavery character, being geucrally kuewu as a tough character. HAKNUH'S UIKCUS TENT KUIWKD. The MiMiunetli Uauvns Destroyed Almest in aElanh The Auiuialu Uulijured. At Chicago, at 2 o'clock Tuesday morn ing a lire broke out iu Barnum's eircus, consuming the maiu tents, dresses aud paraphernalia. The blaze caught from ene of the lamps and the canvas was con sumed like a flash. Thore was no less of life. The animals, fortunately, wcre iu a separate tout, inside the baseball park, and were net injured. Had they been iu the maiu tent thore would probably bave beeu a considerable number of wild beasts reaming about the streets. Whcu the alarm was turned iu the de partment responded quickly, but bofero any engines were brought into action the destruction of the maiu tout was complete. Several streams were played ou the blaze and the firemen succeeded iu preventing a spread of the fire te the adjoining cauvas, under which wero the cages of the wild beasts. The flames ran up the canvas te the contre poles iu a twinkling, and a gorgeous scene was presented en the lake front for a few mo ments, Michigau avenue for blocks being as light as day, while the shipping lyinc in the harbor was clearly outliued. The tugs in the harbor added te the uproar by an iucessaut screaming of their whistles. The cauvas and guy repes being destroyed the centre poles were precipitated te the ground, crushing the private boxes and carrying the fire iu among the reserved scats, causing their complete destruction. The night watchman in charge of the stable tents was apprised iu time te onable the hostlers te lead out all of the horses quietly. The wild auimals bad all beeu locked up for the night, and, as they could net see the flames, were in no souse panic stricken, although the smell of smoke appeared te excite some of them. The actual less te property is estimated at from $15,000 te $1G,000 with no insur ance, but the interruption te the perform ances must necessarily increase the less very considerably te the showmen. The canvas destroyed covered six acres of ground, and it was claimed te have been the largest single ene in the world. The management has a duplicate en hand, and in the event et the costumes net being entirely destroyed expect te threw the show open immediately. Entangled In a Falling Circus Tent.
