What They mil lie.
The wish is father te the thought in
the Republican journals that tire busy
in proclaiming the revival of the old
Randall mid Wnllace fight in the Bclee
lien of delegates te the national con
vention. There la, in fact, no evidence
of any such contest, and Its existence is
exceedingly unilkely en the fnce of
things. Pennsylvania has the most
moderate expectation of being favored
with the selection of the national can.
dldate from her borders, and should alie
be surprised with the gift it is net likely
that any of her delegates would deslre te
refuse it no matter who may be the
chosen anointed.
The aim of the delegation will be
what should ba the aim of the conven cenven conven
Hen, the selection of the best and strong
est candidate. If he exbts In Pennsylva
nia, the delegates from ether states will
be left te point him out; our delegates will
be wlse and prudent enough te refrain
from obtruding their own opinion
as te their own men. This is dictated
;net only by geed taste, but by geed
polley. Experience has repeatedly and
clearly shown that if a state has a candi
date, whom she sincerely desires nomi
nated, the delegates de net best secure
their aim by clamoring for him until
they have found he Is clamored for.
Candidates themselves have been taught
by n steady experience that proper mod
esty in the presentation of their names is
as'.conduclve te success as it is indica
tive of their worthiness of it. Mr. Blaine
and Mr. Tilden, who are said te be again
in the front of the candidacy of their
respective parties, have both been striv
ing very hard te keep in a safer back
ground, and can hardly congratulate
themselves en the circumstances which
force them out of cover. If the Penn
sylvania delegates have any hope of a
Pennsylvania candidate, there are two
things they will net de; if they are ikis ikis
sessed of the geed sense they ought te
have. They will net suffer the exhibi
tion of any rivalry between Pennsylva
nia as te who shall bear off that which
is net yet assigned te their state ; and
they will net undertake te claim It until
they are Invited te de ee.
The coventer of Seuth Carolina Is
showing a laudable and unusual degree
of resolution in securing the apprehen.
sien of the murderer Cash. It is a duty
which the governor of a stale should
never be lax in performing ; yet it is net
often that we And it zealously performed.
Every criminal should be brought te
trial, and the power of the state should
he exhausted in the effort. Even here in
Pennsylvania we flud that the power of
tie commonwealth is net what itsheuld
be. Prisoners escape front jail,and crimi
nals from apprehension, with a frequency
which shows that punishment does net
inevitably fellow crime, as it needs
te de te prevent it. A year
or two nge in a neighboring county
a man was hung by lynch law and the
citizens who committed this great offence
against the state were net apprehended
though they could net but be known.
The dignity of the state suffers when
these who violate its laws are permitted
te escape arrest ; and if there were no
stronger ratsen te be found by the gov
ernor in his oath te de his duty, it would
seem that his desire te merit the approval
of the people would Induce him te de
that which is se plainly laid upon his
office.
De LussErs is an imperative man and
likes te have things under Ills manage
ment conducted in ids own way ; and
he has been remarkably successful net
only in doing things well but in doing
them as lie wished them done. The sue
cess of iiis rveik doubtless accounts for
the ceneral surrender of his associates
te ilia views. He lias at uresent
some difficulty with them concern
ing u subvention with Eeghind, or
English merchants, which lie proueies in
regard te the Panama canal, but prob
ably he will again have ids way. It is
pretty certain that he will get it or quit
the ceucern 5 nud it cannot afford te lese
the prestlge of his name, though he is
seventy eight yearH old, and might be
expected in ordinary courfe te seen drop
out of active work. His friends, hew
ever, claim for him that he is geed for
manj years of activity, and his present
vigor certainly gives no premise of his
early decay.
In llie IIouse en Saturday there was a
motion rnade by Mr. Morrison and op.
posed by Mr. Randall, the effect of which
was te secure consideration of the bill te
give ttie distillers who have quantities of
whisky in bend a further extension of
time te pay the internal revenue tax en
it, which was long slnce due aud which
the government boa only deferred col
lecting by reason of thespeclal privileges
of an act pussed some time age, giving
the whisky men extra time. As this is
aueut elapsing they want mero, simply
because it is te their interest te get it.
Very naturally such special legislation is
repugnant te thoughtful and conscien
tious legislators nud the preposition te
take up the bill wa? voted down by u
majority which would have been mero
decisive had the bill Itself been en pass
axe. "We have waited in vain thus far for
some explanation of the remarkable
report of the finance cornmlttce of coun
cils in estimating an appropriation of
3,160 next year te pay principal of the
city lean, when the law requires a pay
ment of $12,150, aud that amount, or
thereabouts, has been regularly appro
priated for that purpese for years past.
Did the committee make an error, or did
it purposely seek te mislead councils and
the public V And if its estimate is in
correct in this particular, and must be
rearranged, what dependence can be put
upon the reliability of this budget in
ether particulars '
la Allegheny and Philadelphia the
Republican machine has asserted itself
and will elect delegates te the national
convention in its own way and or Its
own selection. It is in these counties
that the largest Independent RepubJIcnn
Bcntiment exists, and its only effective
organization. But at the last election
the stalwarts were triumphant and
Hushed with their success they begin te
abuse their power, plainly Indicating te
the opposition what sort of reform
within the party they may expect.
As the delegates te the Demociatle
state convention nre elected, that body is
lllliug up witli geed men and true. In
its membership there will be many wise
in council, and the great majority of
them will ba anxious and determined
that the convention shall be trie from
factional strife 5 they will have peace if
they have te fight for It, and peace with
honor, tee. The Democratic party of
the stnle is big enough te de j ust ice te all
its elements ; it is net big enough for a
eat light between any of them.

Isc.vrAULE or unworthy judges are

proceeded up the track en feet te Cash's
heuse. Before daylight tbe house was
Miireiiiiiled and the foree watted for light.
About six o'elojk Ctsli, the elder, rose,
found that the pickets were about, armed
himself with a Winchester nqnutliig title
and pistols and tried te escape from the
premises. Re ran against Jehn II. Pear
son, 0110 of the sentinels, who presented
his rill 1, dem liidlug his surrender. Cnnli
hesitated nud Peatheu slid : "Drep jour
gun or I'll sheet you lu two socemls."
Cash dropped his gun quickly. He nil
mltted having been taken completely by
surprise. Wheu captured he was endeav endeav
erlng te make his way te the leg hoiiHe
whero young Cash has been sleeplug every

A party started for the leg house, but
when they wero half there Cash, getting

however, If the ferce would withdtaw.that
his seu would surrender bofero Wednes
day. 110 statcsl that he only wanted te
come off with llyiug colors; that ueither
he nor his son desired te be considered
outlaws, but that he desired te oficet a
capitulation ou his own terms.
Beating lu mind the dcsire of Governer
Thompson that Cash t-hmild he captured
rather than he allowed te surreuder, Chief
Constable Iiichbeurg declined these terms.
Cash's home was thou surrounded by u
guard, with instructions te nllownedcpar
turn or arrival. Cesh's pistols nud nib
wero taken from him Cash protested
bitterly against this, but said that he
yielded te ferce. Captain Itichbeurg.having
determined te let nothing prevent the most
thorough p,.rch for yeuug Cash, left most
of tbe meu at tin house, and at.mnu o'clock
proceeded te Cheraw te summon a larger

Uew Ulrls Are Treated lu lteuiuaulu
Roumania is famous for the facility of
its divorce and the laxity of its morals. It
Is, however, net se generally kuewu that
the usage of the laxest society iu Europe
imposes the severest restraint upon the
innocent social intercourse botween the
young of both sexes. A lady writing from
Bucharest sends the following account
of tbe way in which the Reumanian Mrs.
Grundy tyranizes ever the unmarried
woraen : "Girls have very little liberty
here. If a gontleman is seen dancing mero
than twioe during the sarne evdning with
a young lady, iie is as much oempro
mised as tbe unhappy maiden hor
se If, and Immediately pounced upon
by a soero of relatives demanding his in
tentiens. Ne conversation can take place
betweeu the young couples, as dircetly
after the dance the gontleman must trot
his partner baek te tbe materual wing. A
yeuug girl is allowed te have little or no
intoreourso with men, nndaharmless 'lllr 'lllr
tntien ' would be ruinous te her reputation
in Bucharest. Hew can a girl's mind
develep under these and the accompanying
circumstances? Ne wonder she accepts
the first offer of marriage as n means of
emancipating herself, neither is it aston
ishing that men never treuble themselvcs
te talk for nuy length of time te an un
married lady."

When the man was first found it was

en the railroad. Since that additional faets
have been learned and many nre inclined
te beliove that he was miudered. Of Of
tlecr Heffman, of thu Huading lallnuul
polleo force, began Investigating the affa r.
He learned that decctied was hern with
four ether tramps at Midway en Fuday.
They had whisky with them and nil wete
drunk nnd quarreling. The officer
thought that ene of the party struck
Haley with nu Iren fish plate which w.1.1
taken from tl.e rnllreid track, nud that
they thou placed him along the r.ulru.id

which is about ns fellows : They met
Haley en Thup-ilay en thu Lltitz pike near
this eity nnd nil started te walk together.
They traveled the pike until they readied
Lltitz en Friday whete they started te
walk en the railroad track. They received
considerable whisky, of which all drank
freely, nxcept the boy who redistil te take
any. The lour meu became intexiuJted
but it seemed te affect Il.thy 111010 than
