JKONDA Y gVKKINO, MAT 20, 1884.
As te Electoral FraHfls.
The New Era, with the characteristic
hypocrisy of Ita party, declares that
' many wrongs hare been done Id the
Congress of the United States, but per
haps nothing mere glaringly unjust has
been perpetrated since the foundation of
thu government than the action of the
Democratic majority In unseating Con
gressman Peelle, of Indiana, and award
Ing his scat te Mr.Engllsh.the contestant
en Thursday last." Of ceurse this Is
mere ret, nnd known te be such by the
writer of it. Even assuming, with our
hide-bound partisan contemporary, that
" thcre was hardly room for n con
test In this case, no room what
ever for an honest ene" which
la net the truth at all a hun
dred wrongs mero " glaringly unjust "
have been perpetrated In Congress, net
only aluce the foundation of the govern
nunf tint, ntnrn th llpnnhltran nartv
lias had control of It. There has scarcely I
i i.- n.. ,.,. .inn. icnn mllli I
UU0I1 ICIIU ui vjuukicm eiuiiu ieuu mm
a Kepubllcan majority of the Heuse that
there have net been from ene te n
half dozen Democrats cheated out
of tlfelr seats without a shadow
of right. It has conspicuously been
the practice of that party te decide
nearly every case for Itself, regardless of
law, facts, or any precedents except
these of its own iniquity. In the Eng
lish nnd ether cases of this session, the
Democrats have shown a disposition
toward fairness and independence, many
of the party waiving technicalities te
concede seats te these of the opposition
equitably entitled te them, while In
llepublicnn Houses the rule in
variably was te decide the claim
upon the equities or the technicalities
according te whichever would seat the
Republican.
Bat it does net He with Congressmen
or editors of that party te talk about In
iquiteus decisions of electoral contests
In view of the fraud of 1570 '77. Te
make that villainy triumphant every
technicality was invented and every
equity denied against the Deme
crats, and then forgery, bribery,
black mailing, murder and almost
every crime
known te human
devilish invention
Ingenuity and
were ro3erteil te
iu order te count in
Haves and count out Tilden. Judges
and senators stained their robes by par
tlclnatlen In the fraud and renresenta
tlves who helped te fabricate the I
evidence, perjured themselves by sitting I
as sworn judges upon the testimony they
had themselves made. The men who
did this thing have been gleriQed and
canonized by the Republican party ; but
in the public estimation, every one
of them is n guilty and shameless
thing, and the beneficiary of their fraud
gees up and down the land dishonored
ns no man who sat in Washington's chair
has ever before been.
The less the organs of that party have
te say about electoral frauds the better
for it.
Aet Touching the I'elnt.
Judge Elcock, moved by the generally
adverse criticism bestowed en his action
in the case of the commonwealth vs.
McCauIIey, has issued a very elaborate
statement of the law of the case, a9 he
understands it, and as he might have
stated it te the Jury if he had had it
ready. He does this in refusing n motion
for a new trial.
We de net see nuything in Judge
Elcock's revised opinion calculated te
change the general Judgment that he did
net rightly construe and administer the
law of the cesj. .Naturally Judge Elcock
hlraself differs from this opinion ;
which, in view of its universality, is bad
for Judge Elcock and net for the epin
ion. The judge says that if his decision
has done injustice te the defendant,
in committing te jail n man of unsound
mind, the wrong can be remedl-d by
taking the measures provided by the law
for removing insane convicts from the
jail te the asylum ; which, however, Is
entlrely off the point iu dispute, that
being whether Judge Elcock was right
or wrong.
We hope that a remedy can always be
found in the law for a wrong dene by the
mistakes of its efllcers. The pantenine
power is n general relief provided for
Buch purpose. But this does net make
the elllcer less blameworthy for tils
error, nny mero than the fact that Judge
Elcock Is n clever gentleman excuses
him for being an unwise Judge.
The amount of dirty linen washing
new going en in the Republican party
would he something astonishing if it
were net for llie fact that there Is se
much of it en hand. Fer the must part
the charges of wrong doing have been
directed against Elaine and bold uccu
Batieus of public misconduct have been
accompanied with inuendeea of many
things far worse te come. But as his
friends recegulze the necessity of break
lng down Arthur they have become b rid
and sensational, tee ; and this morning
we iiru treated te two different stories of
his quarrel with his old frlend Crowley,
of Western New Yerk, either of which
will explain it, if true, and both of
which are unquestionably set alleat by
the president's political enemies. One
of these is that he broke off the engage
ment of his son, u lad of tweuty, with
Urowlej'a daughter, a girl of nineteen,
and thereby caused the breaking of her
heart and an early death. The ether
W Unit Crowley get knowledge of the
president's private immoralities and de
neunced him se fiercely for them, that all
further private relations between them
were thereafter Impossible. The Re
publican national convention is only n
week off.
EYBitY boom has its day nnd. as these
of Arthur nnd I31aine have been beunc
ing along for several mentliB, Shenrinn
is new having n turn, the latest reports
indicating some friendliness between
him and Blaine, and a willingness of
the Sherman men te go te Blaine and
of Blaine's friends te come te Sherman
ns a second choice. The manifest dlspe
eltlen evinced lately for the delegates
friendly te Hawley, Edmunds, Gresham
Ktnd ethers te coeperato with Arthur, and
the general strengthening of Arthur's
lines havn compelled the Blalne managers
te make all posslble nlltnnces for the Orst
ballet, nnd evon with nil that he can
ecure it is doubtful new whether he or
the president will lead at the start.
i m m '
Wi: consider that Judge Livingston
gave n sound construction te the law,
when he Instructed the Jury in the case
of the Cem'th vs. Sunner, for malicious
mischief In cutting down electric light
poles, thnt, befere the case could be made
out, it would have te be shown that
the city had given due eftlclal no.
tice te the defendant that the pole
which he cut down was erected by its
authority. Nothing of the kind was
shown and the jury found the defendant
net guilty nnd directed the city ns pros
ecuter te pay the costs. Chairman Harry
Dlller of the lamp committee, had sworn
that the city was the prosecutor, when
In fact he was the prosecutor himself,
since he did net have the authority,
aschiirmanef the lamp committee, te
bring a suit for malicious mischief. That
was net within the purview of his
duties ; but he lias shown se slight a
general conception of what his duties
are that it is net surprising that lie made
this mistake. Mr. Diller, with his elec
trie lights that won't light, and his ma
licieus mischief prosecutions that lilt the
city when they go off, Is evidently a
very expensive luxury te the town.
The James street railroad bridge,
the
improvement of which had te be agita
ted for se many years before it was
accomplished, is in a large measure,
useless because of the horrible condition
of the approaches te It. The sidewalks
are merely a pile of debris, dangerous
and impassable, ami the whole of the
itreet thereabouts is In disgraceful
conditieu. Whoseseever the neglect thus
far, the street commissioner and street
committee are certainly responsible for
its continuance, and thopresjiitnuisauce
should be abated without another week's
delay. If It Is net remedied it, will be a
very proper subject te engage the atten
tion of councils at the meeting next
week.
The high license law In Illinois is said
te be working well, as it does nearly
everywhere that it is tried. The effect
of its operation is te concentrate the
bu3ines3 of selling liquor in the h.iuds
of a smaller number of responsible men
who feel their responsibility and tlnd
their preQt in ebsarving and compelling
ethers te observe the law.

takes hia young lady student te eoe the

Dn E. P. Hyatt, of Philadelphia, ree
egmzas the growing popular interest in
crcniatieu, which he ascribes te motives
of health and oconemy ; and he avows Lis
purpese te seen start a crematory iu Phil.
aJelphia Iu view of this the Lancaster
society docs well te hurry up ite work.
Okhmany has ever been remarkable for
the intellectual development of its citizens
and for its marked pregrcslvcncss as a
nation in the march of civilization down
the nineteenth ccutury. The acme of the
nation's glory was, howevor, reached in
Berlin last wcek wlien a pelice regulation
was enacted restricting piano playing and
practising te certain hours.
It Is net a geed Bign of the tlmes that
politicians Henry Vrhite and Jno. M.
Orecr were able iu their respective ceuu
tics last Saturday te wrest the judical
nominations from well tried judges like
Blair, of Indiana, and McJuukin, of
Butler. They ewe their nominations te
their lufluoneo ns political manipulators
and uet te tlulr pcpsc&bien of pttcmincnt
judicial lltm-iij, Iluvitig obtained tbe
uomiuatien they expect te be eleeted en the
pellt eal hweII of a presidential year. Thov
may And tbetnselvej mistaken ; as the
pcopie show a remarkable disposition te

This morning the week of adjourned
court began with Judge Livingston pre
siding. ,
The most important eases down for
trial nie theso of the Kphrata lueuutaiu
gang for burglary, larceny and receiving
stolen goods ; Oeorgennd Wtuileld Smith,
murder, nnd Justice Jehn P. Frank and
Constable Frederick Struck, conspiracy.
Verdicts of net guilty were taken In the
hasps of Jacob Buck and Jeseph Brehnian,
ehniged with robbery. These boys were
sent te the heuse of rofugent the last court
and the parents desired that verdicts of
this kind be taken.
Albert Brough plead guilty te feruien
Hen nud bastardy with Aunle Shear aud
wns sentenced as usual.
In the cases of cem'th vs. Henry ik'ek
ler, charged with seduction and attempted
nbottien,;a verdict of uet guilty was taken
for want of evidence.
The c.ue of Lyman Bltzer, charged with
seduction, was continued ns the defendant
has a e.vll suit pending against the de
fendant. Winfield aud Geerge Smith, charged
with murder, were brought lutoceuit and
their oeunsol asked fur i continuance of
their case en the grounds of the absence
of an important witue; for them. This
witness formerly lived lu Columbia, but
left recently and eaunet be found. The
court erdered the constable te make dill
gontseareh for the witness until Wednes
day morning, at which tlme he shall re
pert.
Cem'th vs. JeBi Suuner, malicious
ruKChief. The evidonce in this case show
cd that the city of Lancaster made a con
tract te light the oltyef Luicaster by
electricity last summer ; In order te striug
their wires, tbe light company erected
wooden poles throughout the city.
One of these was planted 111 Irent
of a house, nt the corner of Vine
aud Christian streets, which was owned by
the defendant's father, new deceased.
After the pole had been erected the do de
fcud.iut cut Jewn the pole and this suit
was brought.
The evidence for the defeuse shewed
that the pole was erected at this place
without nny netice te the ewneis of the
property. After It was up, Cenrad Sun
uer, au undo of the defendant, told the
superintendent who wasereetiug the p Um
that this one could net remain , the man
told him that It would be remeved, but he
afterwards refused te de auythtug in the
matter ; Mr. Suuner then consulted ceuu
sel and was advised te cut the pole down ,
the defendant was informed of this aud he
at once leveled the pole.
The counsel for the defence claimed
that ns the light company bad uet netitled
the property tinner of their intention te
erect the pole, they were nothing rrore
than trespassers.
The court thought that no malice had
been shown iu the ense. The poles, as
erected befere heases, and in ether places.
were n nuisance as long .19 no uotiee was
given t tbe public that the vr-rk was
being doueby nutherlty of the city j it was
net shown iu this ease that any ordiuauee
ee resolution had been published te show
that the company were autberi.sd by the
city te erect the poles ; the court in
structed the Jury te render a verdict of net
guilty . they should net put tbe costs en
the defendant, but must dispose of them
between the city and county. The jury
placed the costs ou the city.
Cem'th vs. Harry Deebler, Iarceuy. The
defendant is a boy about 10 years of age
and was ebarged with stealing rags from
the warehouse of Jehn W. Lewell, ou
Miilliu street, this city. Bome of the
property was sold at the wareheuse of
Jehu A. Shober by the deleudant aud
several ether boys, and Mr. Lewell identi
fied It as his property. Some of the
rags wero also sold te Geergo Welsh, a
junk dealer, who sold thorn at Sheber's.

Iho statoment is net at all hazardous

ever he would with little risk of hitting
any eue, se small iu numbers wat tbe audi,

Befere the extreme Imbecility of this per
forinauce, all ethers duiiug the hcasen
must pale their iuellectual Huh. And yet
theso ladies and gentlemen who llguredin
this plcce of dramatic idiocy may net be
totally devoid of ability iu the histrionic
line, if the truth were known. A combi
nation made up of tbe best known come
dians of the day could net lift " Peek'n
Mad Bey " even from the absurd te the
commonplace. It is thtoitgheut it con cen con
gletncration of iueidtuts strung together
with no apparent purpose, except that
which the author naively gives, " te make
peeple laugh." Bad comedy, howevor,
the blooming author should remember,
approaches very near thu limits of pathos
and may make peeple ery. It is rather
creditable te the discrimination of the
loeal play going public that the " Bad

with it merits. The spirit of lrrevcreuce
running through it would coudemn it, if
penned by Shakespeare. The youth of the
rising generatien have tee many incentives
te snap their lingers at parental authority
without seeing it portrayed en the stage,
te be laughed at approvingly, or at least
te be condoned. " Peck's Bad Bey " and

Hev. Ur. P. J. MeOulhtgh, the pastor, who
was asloep, Btole his pantaloons nud took
from the poekot 1 about $35 In inouey
together with a bunch or keys nud home
ether articles. The thljf was heard ntinnt
4 e clock descending the nlalrway, nnd Dr.
McCtillsgh, supposing it te be the sexton
or servant, called te thorn te knew what
was the matter. Hccelving 110 answer, he
called louder, nud awakened Thus, Dovor Devor Dover
cux, the sexton, hut bofero he nimwored
the eall the burglar hnd Hed.
An examination of the piotnUe.i this
morning showed that the burglar had llrst
out a initie of glass from ene of the rear
windows of the ehuruh, hi In
tontlen belng probably, te open the church
window by roaehlng lu nud uubeltlug
It, nnd niter getting into thn church te
cuter the parsenage inr jugh the deer con
nectmg the two. The bjlt, howevor, up
pcais tu have reslsted his efforts, nud he
changed his baie of operations by attack
lug ene of the rear windows of thu ha et
mentef tbe paieouage. The shutter was
forced, the wii.dew raised and thn thief
galued access te 11 back room. Fieni this
room he made his w.ij Inte the hall and
Rtnirway leading te Um ur mud lloer of the
parsonage. Hore he entered the dliiiuir
room nud helpcd himself le sueh viands ns
the sideboard nnd larder nffeided.
Breaking the lock en the deer separating
the dining room Irem Dr. MeOullagh's
olllee, he entoied the latter and examined
thoaafe. The euter deer or the eafe was
uet locked nnd the Itey was iu the lock.
The Inner deer of the safe was looked, nnd
the thief appears te have made no serious
domensttntlon te crack it, pi ebably think,
ing that If thore had been any viiluable.4
inside, the outer deer of the sale would uet
have been left open. He stele the key,
howevor, niter " looking the deer open "
that is, while the eaU-r safe deer was
open the thief turned the key be as te
threw the belts forward, nud the deer
oauuet be olesed until a key Is found that
will threw the b dtsbiel: again,
Frem the elllc-i the th.ef appears te
have entered the front hilt and, arccndlng
the stairway, went dtmctly le Dr M0C11I
lagh's room, the deer or which wns uet
looked. Stealing the doctor's pantaloenn,
he quietly left, but w is heard descending
tbe stairs, aud thou it was that the doctor
called te the sexton te knew what was the
matter. Pilfering the poekotn of tbe
pantaloon, the thii f dropped them at the
1001 01 tne stairs nmi nude ills exit from
the rear deer, and thwme evor thn fenre
into an adjoining let and ecapad. He
left beblnd him a heavy mortising ebisel,
nnd rather distinct tr.i:l:i at the peiutat
which he jumped the fe-'cc. These elues
may lend le his dctcctteu.
It Is thought the burglar entered the
house about midnight, au.l ceucealcd him
weir uutil Dr. MeCiillagh wtnt te bed,
which was net until nenr 2 o'clock, he
having been reading until a late hour and
fallen aslcep ou a sofa.
Ab boeu ns the burglar tled the tu Mce

of opinion that the thu f atteuded rcrvice
at St. Mary's vcstcidav, nnd planned thn
robbery while iu tbe obureli. Duriug both
the morning nnd a't'inueii fcrvlce Dr.
McCullagh called til 1 attention of his
people te the need of money te pay rx
penses connected with the new pailsh

that he could m 'te a heavy " pull" from
