It la net often that Secretary of the Navy Chandler gets n chance te defend hlBMdf from his numerous public be cemts, because generally it is apparent te' him th&tsllence is his best policy. He prang up with remarkable eagerness, h)wevfr, te repel tne accusation or gev. Hendricks that he had been derelict In the matter of the peculations in the ofllce of the chief of the medical bureau. He thought he had a splendid chance te turn Gov. Hendricks', accusation against the Democracy, because he said that Surgeon General Wales was as much of a Demo crat as a Bepubllcan, and was moreover receMafended for reappointment by prominent Democratic senaters and rep resenUtlvcs. Gov. Hendricks, however replies te Secretary Chandler and proba bly has satisfled him that it would still have bem his better policy te have ltept silent. He Is reminded that Surgeon General Wales was responsible for the frauds only In that they were committed by pincers under him ; which Is Just the same sort of responsi bility, that attaclied te Secretary Chandler for them, and as the secre tary takes credit te himself for net re appointing Surgeon General Wales, the sitne lojrle would make it proper te secure a new head of the navy depart ment: which is Juat the point Governer Hendricks was making when he referred te the peculations in the department under the control of its present chief. Gov. Hendricks new says te Secretary Chandler that It is net the fact, us he claims, that the offences in the surgeon general's office were discovered by his vlgilauee. On the contrary, he cites the testimony, te show that the secretary was informed of what was going en a year before it was brought te light by Detect! ve Weed, and that he made no attempt te investigate It. All this appears in the secretary's own testimony save the fact that he did net cause the discovery of the peculation ; which appears by the statement of Detective Weed, who did the work. Secretary Chandler, in trying te pe3 In the atti tude of an honest man and a vigilant official, makes such an unnntural effort that the resulting position is simply ridiculous. He is known all the land ever te be as corrupt as men can be, and the idea that he would have been willing te catch aud expose these medical bureau thieves can only be sustained upon tie ballet that tuetr stealings were we smau i te make them worthy of his attention 1 and participation. I Pest the Heeks Nothing but a miracle can new save the Republican party, and a miraculous intervention en behalf of that party is hardly probable. An examination of the arithmetic of the campaign reveals the hopelessness of the Republican struggle. The Democracy Btart in the race with 1 17 of the necessary 201 electoral votes from the following states : Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Flerida, Georgia, Kentucky, .Louisiana, Maryland, Mis sour), Mississippi, Xerth Carolina, Sunt hi Carolina, .Tennessee, Texas and Vr glnla. This estimate emits West Vlr giuia, whose six votes have always been assured te the Democracy when no dis turblng influences clouded the lcsues between the two parties. Counting, hewever, but 117 certain Democratic votes, there Is need of fit mere te make a majority of the electoral college Of these New Yerk will certain ly contribute 80. Grever Cleveland, the head of the Democratic national ticket, carried the state In 1SS2 by Hij,S5l, and in the year following the average Deme emtie majority was 10 665. The mighty disaffection in the Repub lican ranks in New Yerk make assurance doubly sure in this re gard. New Jersey's nine votes may, without risk, be added te the Democratic column. In the presidential election of 1880 New Jersey gave a Democratic ma jority of 2,010 ; in 1882 It gave 2.100; and in 1883 the Democratic majority was 0,809. There remain 0 votes te .make up the ueceasary balance te insure ' the election of a Democratic president. One of the combinations te till out the requisite number would be California and Nevada, with 8 and 3 votes re spectively, both of which states voted for Hancock lu 1880. Again, Indiana' 15 votes are reasonably certain te be given le ithe Democratic electors with her favorite son as the vlce presidential candidate. All of these estimates take no account of West Virginia, concern ing 'the doubtfulness of which state, Republicans nre prating much. The well-informed regard it as safe as ever te tbe Democracy, and its 0 votes, with California's 8 or Nevnda's 3, would make up the Democratic deficiency. Then among the possibilities are Ohie with her 23 votes, Wisconsin with 11 and Massachusetts with her 11 votes, and Pennsylvania will net be abandoned without a struggle. The outlook Indeed could net be brighter. The vote of the Southern states ndded te theso of New Yerk aud New Jersey make 1U8 elee teral votes, and the Democracy have California, Nevada, Indiana, Ohie, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Mussuchu setts te leek te or the remaining 3 votes. It Is no wonder that fur seeing Republicans are fust reaching the con clusion, that the hour of the party'H downfall Is near at hand. Hendricks te t'haniller. Mr. William E, Chandler will dis caver that Mr. Themas A. Hendricks is a dangerous man te feel with. In the campaign of 1880, Mr. Hendricks made a Bpeech, iu which he charged that the Bepubllcan candldate for president had aat in the electoral cqmtulsslen In Judg ment upon' evidence which he himself had helped te prepare as n " visiting Biaiesman " in xiemsiana. jur. uarueld rushed .te the 'front, us impetuously us Mr. Chandler has come, with a denial of tfiocharge. -Mr. nendrlcks, returning te It, actually flayed1- his antagonist nnd proved indisputably that he had spoken the truth as fully sustained by the record. Mr. Hendricki declared in the national conventlon nntl In bicccIi te Ills neighbors the ether evening, thnt in the department of which Chhmller is the head, $03,000 had been lately Bhewn te have been stolen en n fraudulent voucher, and he urged that In cases like this, when frauds nre concocted in the vaults or In the books of the department, the only remedy of the people is a clmuge of the control, se that the books and vouchers shall ceme under thoexamina tlen of new and disinterested men. Chandler attempted te answer by de claring that part of the frauds were committed under his predecessor, and that the head of the bureau in which they were committed was appointed en Democratic recommendations In part. Mr. Hendricks very neatly answers that it does net help the case te show that frauds extended ever n longer period without detection ; the essential nutter Is that they were net discovered by the naval department, or, it found out, the guilty were net punished and removed, lias Mr. Chandler or any ether gentle man any mere questions te ask of the Democratic candldate for vice president 'f His address is Indianapolis, Indiana; and will se remain until next fourth of March. Cmsvkianu's vetoes, a tliey are better understood, onhance his reputation as a statesman. Tiik Rpublicaus are reprlutlug what Ooergo William Curtis said of Blaine in 1871. It is mere important te oeus'dor what he thinks of him new. Tint possibilities of endurance in bone llesb nre shown by the recent fett of au equiue in Springfield, Mass., that was driven twenty miles in 77 minutes ami 35 seconds. Fer a brute, lacking In the human quality of determination, the peiformance is an exceptional one. Antheny Comstock hat avid, in oppe sltieti te rausle en Sunday in the publie patks, " I think that we can't improve en the Almighty's plans fix a Sabbath." Whereupon he Is reminded that no way has yet been oentrlved " te step the Sun day singieg of the birds.' The alleged Independents of thin state are out in au address in which they apilegiza for their support of Ulaine by deelaring that they defeated Heaver in order te pave the way for Ulalce's nomi nation. This announcement will be a red pepper poultlee te the feelings of the Regular Republicans. the nrave jaucr, ui vhcubuuiv, ,,., who died at hi pest in discharge of his duty, was a hore and a martyr. His noble 1 atttmDt te withstand tbe attaek of law lessnesa and tne violence ei a wicacu moo, I deserves the highest commendation.

He says : "It was scut te me bjr parties iu New Yerk with orders te bet It Against Cleveland. I arranged te place it, but the very next day oame a telegram telling me net te bet a cent of it. It is evident that Cleveland stock has goue up in tbe opinion of the persons who were ee ready at tlrst te baek Blaine." Tnu Philadelphia Timtt meets aud answers, lu a most corapleto article which Is printed olsewhere, the objections made te Claveland by certain alleged labor and religious olemeuts. The Ivntt puts the whele case in a conclse, forcible and truth ful way, aud it needs no further argument. Meantime it should be romembored that Democrats will net assume the defensive for their candidate in this 'campaign. He and his record uoed no apology, The Re publicans would like te divert attention from their tattooed man. The Democrats should net let thorn shift position, but oempel them te maintain the defouse.

Ex-Governer Hendricks has written the following In response te the lotter of Secretary Obaudler, published lit the associated press papers Monday morning : Indian wems, July 11, 1834. Hen. W. E. Ciianulkii : Silt : 1 Hud iu the nowspapera this morning a letter te me from yeurself writ writ teu yesterday and circulated through the associated preas. Yeu oeuiplain that I did you lujuatloe in an address te the peeple of this city made the evening be fore. In that address I urged that "we uoed te have the books in the government offieooponcd for examination " ami as an Illustration 1 cited the oase of a fraudulent voucher in oue of the bureaus of your do de do partmeut aud stated that upon your test! ineny before a sub committee of the Souate It appeared that the frauds ameuuted te $03,000 aud is net every word of that true ? Yeu were brought befere the committee aud testified as I stated. Yeu admitted, under oath, that the sura of mouey lest ameuuted te 0J -000, but your defense was that the em bezzlemeut did net wholly occur under your administration, but that a part of it was uuder that of your predecessor. It seems te have oevcred the period from Juue, 1SS0, down te January 25, ISSi Dees that help your case '.' Yeu were at the head of the deputtueut a year aud nlue mouths of that period aud your pre decessor about oue year and teu mouths. He was inotli:e At the payment of the tlrst false voucher en January -1, 13S0, and up te April 17, 183.', when you came In, and you ceu'tuued thence uutil the last fatso voucher was paid, January 25, 1834 Tne period was almost equally divided between yourself aud your predecessor. Hew much of the 503,000 was paid out uuder yourelf.aml hew much uuder your pre decesser your letter does net show ; but, sir, upon the question that I was discuss ing, does it make any dlffercnce who was secretary when the false vouchers were paid .' I urge that in eases like this, when frauds are conceotod in tbe vaults or iu the books of tbe department, the only remedy of the peeple is a ouange of the control, se that the books and vouchers shall ceme under the examination of new and disinterested raen." The letter gees en te point out that the secretary was notified of these frauds last year aud yet took no aotien and left the accused men in office until Government Doteetivo Weed brought the frauds te light and they were published through the associated pros. The excuse that Dr. Wales' reappointment was urged by mem bera of Congress, Mr. Hendricks says, is no excuse. "Members of Congress knew nothing of the frauds, they had no opportunity te knew. It was within your reaeh and duty. They wero probably bis personal friends : you were Ms oineiai superior. uut,in raci, did you reappoint him '.' I understand net. Perhaps the detective discovered the frauds tee seen. But Dr. Wales was net ene of tbe time guilty parties. He neither forged the vouchers nor embezzled the mouey. tils responsibility in tne oue is just the same as your own. lie was the official superior of the three rogues, as you were of hinuelf, as of them. Neither no nor yourself exposed the frauds, or punished the parties. I have net thought of or considered this as a case of poll Ian. Addressing my neighbors I said that this aud like cases admonish them te demand civil service reform In the removal of all from ofllce who will net scek te promote it withiu the sphere of their official duty and authority."

Carl Sehurz presided. The following call was adopted unanimously : The undersigned cemmittee invite nil Republican and independent voters who disapprove of the nominations made by i he Republican national convention at Chicago as unworthy of support, who think that tbe interests of geed govern ment nnd of public morals demand the defeat of the Republican candidates for president and vlce president, and who are therefore resolved net te vete for Ulaine atd Legan, te meet for conferenco, either iu person or by delegation, for the purpose of determining upon a common ceurse of action in the pending canvass. The oeu forence will be held at 11 a. m., en the 22J of July, 1884, iu the city of New Yerk, at tbe University dub theatre, Madisen avenue and Twenty-sixth street.

The details and arrangoraents for the, conference will be in charge of the execu tive cemmittee of New Yerk. While thore was no official action taken en Cleveland's nomination theso present unauimeusly expressed the sentiment that the nomination should be indorsed as being an uxceucui oue. u is nicely mat such nation will be taken at tbe conlerenoe. Seme surprisn was exprCBscd at the fact that, whlle Mr. Carl Sehurz's opposition te Ulaine and Legan is outspekeu and well known, the Wettlithe J)it, of St. Leuis, of which he is a large shareholder, and whose polltleal opiuieus were suppesed te refleat hit own, should have ceme out strongly for the Republican nominees. Mr. Schurz did net wish te rnake any statement for publication about the matter,but intimated that the ceurse pursued by the Western journal was without his knowledge or consent, A HN.tKfc-UllAHMKU IIIITKN.

A llrnve Jailer Mil'i Wtille iietemllus i I'rmuntr rrein .iteti. A spoelal from 0uubm, Ky. says: At 1;30 Monday mernlug au armed mob attacked the county j ill, killed Jailer W. J. Lueat, broke open the doers of the cell room and took out Richard May, a utigre, and hauged him te a tree iu the emul botue yard, Between Rlxty and soveuty men surrounded the jail aud demanded the prisoner, who a few days before, bad at'ompted te outrage a daughter of Sid Kelly, a prominent farmer. Toe j iller called te his wife te have his pistols iu readineasaud refused te open the doers of the jail. The mob then began tlriugnud the Mriug wns returned by the jailer aud his seu I'uetint, aged sixteen years. They llred sixteen shot, the mob tiring as many as one hundred. Jailer Lucas tired from the perch ami his son from the front windows. Twe of the mob are reported te have been kilted, but they were quickly cirried off. After tlriug six shots Irem tbe perch thojulerwas shot, the ball enteriug hi right breast near the nipple. He was carried te his room, still refusiug te gire up the keys. His wife took up a pistol aud tired te repel the mob; but they crowded up stairs aud oempolled her te give up the cell keys. The outer deer was broken down with a sledge hammer. Tbe mob thou took May Irem his cell aud hanged him. The jail was badly riddled with bullets The jailer cirried n lantern in his baud aud atfenled a geed target for the mob. After haugiug their vieiiui the lynohers deptrted, leaviug several masks about tlie jail. It is stated that a number of nogrees wero iu the mob aud that a portion of them came from Indiana, opposite Osveus bere, where the father of the girl ouce lived. May was the third negre hanged by n mob lu the oeurt house yard mid the fourth victim of the sallews iu the ceuuty.

A .Munlermii Atittilt liertur ltebrtiM', nl Mrretr Uonetr, Amititrtl In HarrlinurK, Richard A. Robertsou, a practicing physician of Oievuvllle, Mereer county, and inventor of tin nriangenient te Improve the line of iml protect ra'head tracks, was in Ne Yerk en business last week. Whlle In the effice of F. W. l)a Vel, paint iiiautifaotiiretH, corner of Fulton and Rltoker streets, he was miceHnd by au In. dividual who wan represented te be K. 11. Curtis, agent of agricultural implements itnl real estate. Ne ngioemeut was made aud the two septrated. ()a Thursday the doctor nualn met Curtis, nnd they bcoauie quite friendly. A trip te Ceuey Island wai premised and made, aud upon theietiirn te New Yerk city the men started for Jersey City. Here the doctor acquainted Curtis with the fact that he had been settling seme pstAteit iu the interest of his (the doctor's) sister, down east. Frem this, Curtis ovldetitly concluded that hit com panion ha 1 a large sum of meney upon his person and concocted the villainous scheme which he carried out. Thursday night the men left Jcrf ey City together, mid wheu the train arrived nt Lancaster, the alleged Curtis proposed that they should get elT, remarkitig that the town was a quaint old oue ami very interesting The doctor declined the preposition saying he bad a friend In liar risburg whom he desired te visit. Curtis then, as the doctor supposed, get elT the train at Lancaster, and wheu Dr. Robertsen reached llarrisburg that night he stepped at tbe United States hotel. Friday during the day and nlgbt,be remained atMr. Nash's residence, and Siturdayhe went back te the hotel where he met Curtis again. The latter induced the doctor te visit Mechau ieibur. I'hey went thore aud after Cur t is, who apparently was acquainted with the locality, had shown the doctor around, the latter oame baek te this city, his com panion remaiuiug (as the doctor thought). The next mernlug (Sunday) when the doctor arese almost the (Irs; person he met was Curtis. A stroll was prope.vd and he left the L S. hotel at U o'clock, Suuday morning, no cempauled by Curtis, who appeared te be extremely well educated, ami his dress and appcarauce were very at;reeable. At the tleslre of hiscompauieuthodootorconseut cd te take n by street from the hotel. This wish upeu tbe part of the stranger suggests the Idea that he did net want te be seen In the doctor's cetnpauy iu a maiu street, in order that subsequent events might uet ba preven against him by having been observed in cempauy with the ttoetor. As the men walked leisurely nteug they met, some semo some whero near the outskirts of town, nn in dividual dressed iu dark clothe, wearing a slouch hat aud carrying a paper package which preved afterwards te be two small bottles of beer. Curtis introduced the doctor te this man " Sanders " as tbe farmer's friend, and luvited him along, and when tbe trio reached Schuddemage's planing mill, aljng tbe river, near Dela ware avenue, the party sat down along the shere, and Sanders unwrapping tbe pack age presented the beer. He and Curtis drank ene bettle empty, and proffered tbe ether te the doctor, who after much re luctance and protestation partook of a small portion of it. They thou resumed their walk, when Docter Robertsou began te feel dizzy and his eye became dim. He proposed te return home, as he said be could go no further and remarked : "There's something the matter with that beer. I never could drink beer unless it was very oeld, aud then but little el It. I don't feel like walking any further." The mwu said nothing, and the doctor, who was a short distance ahead -net mero than a step or two turned his face toward the river te catch the cool breeze. Just as he was en the point of turning round ene of the men stelo oleso up te him with the stealthlncss u a cat, without uttering n word. Uofero Docter Robsrsteu could Imagine anything the click of a trigger of a pistol, and simultaneously came the report of the weapon and a 33 calibre ball crushed iute the doctor's baek between the shoulders just bebind tbe heart.
