29, 1877, at which among ether matters
discussed, Blaine's failure te recelve the
nomination at Cincinnati was under
consideration. Mr. Beecher describes
the occurrence in which Mr. Jey referred
in contemptuous terms te Blaine's ve
nality : " When a difficulty occurred in
regard te certain lands in the southwest
in which 1 was Interested, a committee
was about te be appointed by Congress
te examine the matter, Blalne being
speaker of the Heuse. Through a friend
I asked Mr. Blaine te have ene sound
lawyer appointed en that committee, I
didnotcareof which party. I simply
wanted a sound lawyer. In a day or
two Mr. Blaine sent me word through
a friend that he had certain depreciated
bends, and that if I would enable him
te place them at pur 'I could have my
committee as Itcanttd if.' I cannot for
get with what cutting scorn Mr. Jey
leaned back iu his chair and said :
That is the wuu JSfatnc is,' and he
added, ' I refused the eiler, and as
the courts seen settled the matter no
committee was appointed."

A charge of this kind. Bub unfortunately

whose deer corruption has been dis
tinctly traced In mere than a few
instances, will occupy the chair that was
graced by a Washington, a Jeffersen
and an Adams. If lie is successful It

purity has disappeared from public life
and that the methods of the blackleg ure
approved and are necessary requisites
for the candidate for the highest efllce

Possible 1'resldential Adilsers.
It becomes an important consideration
for voters new te reflect who will be the
powers behind the throne in case their
favorite presidential nominee is success
fnl. Ne well informed Republican can
doubt that Blaine's nominees for tLe
Important offices in his gift will ba men
of the Elkins, Robeson stripe, with
whom and with whose methods he is in
cordial sympathy. It may perhaps
happen that these individuals or any of
the mere notorious of the gang who
train with them will net occupy respen
alble public office personally, but the
administration chairs will be filled at
their dictation. It is as plain as u
pikestaff that Senater Edmunds will
receive no consideration at the hands of
a Blaine administration. Ne ene is
foolish enough te suppose that the Mul
ligan statesmau will call around him for
advisers men of the stamp of Cenkllng
and Edmunds, his fellow senators. They
' knew him perhaps tee well for his com
fort. They grappled with him rvhen he
fought for the Union Facifie bills iu the
Beaate. Their presence would be a
constant reminder of his official short
comings. Blaine is but human, and it
is only natural, te suppose that he would
net fling bis infamy into the faces of
these who distrusted him In the
scarcely possible contingency of his
election te the presidency. He would
sees: his cabinet counsellers from theso
whose style of life and cede of morals
coincided with his own. Corruption
would stalk ever the land In seven
league beets and the Jobber would reign
supreme.
On the 'contrary with Cleveland's
election there is every reason te suppose
that he would surround himself with the
trusted Jeaders of the great party that
elected him. With Randall, Bayard,
Tburmau, Palmer, McDonald and the
hoot e't leaser lights of the party, he is
ea the most friendly terms. Ne jobbers

And he will be elected president of the

Mn. SAMcnL RenEnrs, of Wilkes

upon his admission that he has been
guilty of falsehood, emlwizlement and
the use of stolen funds for religious pur

$10,000, and presented it te the congre

Mr. Roberts was very liberal for many
yeais in Ills contributions te the church.
He new confesses that he was ltberal
with ether people's money, and that tuj
chapel and ether gifts were paid for out
of his embezzlements from his employers.
As the presbytery has condemned such
methods of providing for the church,
and has expelled the provider, it seems
te be in order for it te restore the chapel
and ether goods te the rightful owners
of the moneys that paid for them It is
net recorded that the presbytery has

It was shortly after dark en Tuesday
night of last week when Sherry and his
family, consisting of two ruen named
Michael Keira and Geergo Ucst, a half
grown girl who aoted as a sort of house
keeper and mald-of-all-werk, and a young
bev. the son of ene of Sherry'd boarders.
sat down at the supper table. The meal
had net progressed very far when the
clatter of knives and forks was drowned
by a sharp rap upon the deer tegether
with a gruff demand for admission.
Sherry dropped his knife, and, peering
out of the window, discerned in the dim
half light of the ovening what appeared
te be the figures of four men crowded
around the step. Fearing mischief of
seme kind Sherry declined te epen the
deer. Soareoly had he spoken when the
visitors forced the leek and steed in the
room.
Thore were four of thorn. They wero
masks, and oaeh held a cocked revelver
tn his hand. Tha girl's involuntary
saream was checked by an angry gesture
from the leader of the band, who wero a
heavy slouch hat pulled well clown ever
his oyes. Very quietly he turued te
Sherry and told him he had oemo for
money. Sherry looked iu vain at his
companions, but they wero quailing be
fore the grim muzzles of the pistols
Ievelled at their heads.
"But I've get no meney," Sherry
finally declared
" Come, we'll see about that," retettcd
the robber. Iu a few words he directed
two of his companions te bind, gag and
blindfold the ether members of the party,
and blew their brains out if they olTered
the slightest resistance. This was quickly
done, and then the rebber demanded that
Sherry open his safe, threatening te kilt
him if he refused,
The man, trembling, obayed and led his
captor te an upstairs room, whero he kept
his heard. In the safe there was $'200,
but the robber was evidently acquainted
with Sherry's habits, for he told him he
knew thore was a great deal mero meney
than that ou the premises and an ominous
oliek of the rovelvar enforced his demand
that it be given up. Half dead with fright
Sherry then unlocked several bureau
drawers, from which $0,000 wero ob
tained. Other places wero ram sacked,
but the amount mentiened constituted the
bulk of the plunder.
Having accomplished the work apparent
ly te his satisfaction, the robber conduct

Mr. Henry War.' Beoeher has addressed

Mr. James F. Jey was reoently published.
In that oerrcspoudenoo Mr. Jey said :
" Blaine never made me any offer te ap
point a oemmittoe te suit me in any man
ner or form or for any consideration of
any kind whatever." Mr. Beecher,
preluding that tbe story has been pub -llshed
without his privity, gives the
following version of his interview with
Mr. Jey, at dlnner in Detroit, en or nbeut
the 20th of September, 1877, several ether
gentlemen being present :
Please send te Mr. Jey the following

statements have been made by Mr. Jey te
ethers net infrequently. Toward the
olese of the dinner political matters were
introduced, and among ether things
Blaine's failure te receive the nomination
that went te Hayes. Mr. Jey spoke with
contemptuous severity of Mr, Blaine, and
said: "When a difficulty occurred in re
gard te certain lands iu the Beuthwcst in
which I was Interested a oemmltteo was
about te be appointed by Congress te er

I cannot forget with what cutting scorn
Mr. Jey leaned baek in his chair and said :
"That is the man Blalne is," and he
added : "I refused the offer, nnd, as the

At that time I knew nothing of the land

from Chicago with Hyan. Geergo's father
died several years age and his mother died
oue year nire. Geerge was employed in a
tannery in Chicago until thrce weeks age,
when dull business caused him te be dis

a man ou the lake front who gave his
nume as Jehn Ryan. He induced the boy te
go with him en a trip towards Cinclnuati
and te dlsguise his Identity told him te
take the name of Ed. Ryan. After they
started en their trip Ryan became cruel
and beat him several times ou the slightest
pretext. They " beat" their way en the

town the boy was compelled te beg meney
and feed for the ether.
He made Beveral attempts te induce the

The Hen. James Russell Lewell, Ameri

opening address at the town bal, Bitmlng

French travelers beheld with delighted
amazement almost a century age. He had
watched the chango-te him a sad ene-frcm
an agricultural te a proletarian population.
Addressing himself then te a single point
only in tbe long list of effenBAS of which
America bad been mere or less guilty,
Mr. Lewell said they were infesting the
Old World with whatscennd te be theueht
an entirely new disaase democracy I Un.
deubtedly the spectacle of a great and
prosperous demccraey en the ether side of
the Atlantic must react pewerfully upon
the aspirations and political theories of the
men of the Old World. Net finding things
te their mind, whether for geed or for evil,
it should net be forgotten that the acorn
from which it sprang was ripened en the
British oak. He believed that the British
constitution, under whatever dlsguise it
may be plaeed in prudence aud decorum,
was, iu all its essentials, democratic. The
people were continually saying, that Amo Ame Amo
rlea was "in the air." He was glad te
think that it was, since the term meant
only that a clearer conception of human
claims and humandutles was beginning te
prevail.

DOMESTIC BUMATllA.
At the meeting of the Lauoaster Agri
cultural society, Monday, Mr. Frank It.
Dlffenderiler exhibited a hand of Imported
Sumatra aud a baud grown from Sumatra
Beed iu this oeunty. The imported article
was daik and silky, the leaves being very
amall. The sample grown In thiR oeunty
had leavos almost twice as large, but they
wero of just en fine toxture as the native
Sumatra, though for want of proper euring
they were uet se dark iu color. The
satnple shown was grown ou very rieh
soil, and that probably oeoounts
for the large slze et the leaf.
There seems te be little doubt that Sumatra
tobacco, equal te that imperted, and
perhapi better, may ba as easily grown en
our soil as seed leaf or Havana. It is
worth whila te give It u fair trial.
The New Yerk Tolxicee Leaf Bajn : "Mr.
William Sohevcrling, the well-known
packer and dealer, of New Miiferd, Conn.,
favored us with a eall this wcek, and
showed us samples of domestic Sumatra
leaf of his own raising this seasen. The
exhibit was et oeurso uneurcd as yet, but
it disclosed nil the characteristics of its
foreign prototype, being shapely, Bilky,
glossy and elastic When cured, it is
doubtful if an expert will be able te say
positively that this leaf was uet grown en
tbe island of Sumatra. Mr. Scheverllng's
oxperiment8 with Sumatra seed, in oon eon oen
junotiou with theso of ethers in various
parts of the oeuntry, whieh latter have
previously been reported in the Tobacco
Leaf, make it certain that Sumatra tobacco
can be grown in the United States as suc
cessfully as Havana or any of the native
varieties of tobacco.

Eds. Inteli.ief.ncer. There appeared
in yenr local columns of September 29tb,
1884, an article entitled, "Baptist Associa
tion," the last olanse of which requires a re
statement, that tbe publie may net be
misled. Tbe part I have referenoe te,
reads thus : "The association, we beliove,
seme time age, withdrew aid from both
tbe First and Olivet oburches with a view
of having them reconcile their differences,
and unite as ene church."
Permit me te say, that the Olivet Bap
tist church is,and always has been since its
organization May, 1879, a self-sustaining
obureh, it has never received ene dollar
from any organization te help the work of
the ohureh in any way.
