THE Chicago courts have decided
that a divorce cannot be granted when
the "desertion" is the result of an
agreement to live apart.
THE people of Philadelphia h*va for
years realized that elections in this city
are but a farce, plsyed at a high cost to the
lax-payer*.— Rtrora.
True, and as each year rolls round,
the tax-jiayers, notwithstanding this
realization, show a remarkable anx
iety to sustain the frauds by which
they arc cheated, and only growl when
they are forced to foot the bills..
THE change in the Commissioners
of Armstrong county, last fall, which

covery of a very marked crookedness

THE Springfield (Mass.) Ilrjmblican
thinks that Mr. Hayes "will win even
respect of politicians, if he keeps on."
But how can he "keep ou?" Are
there any more thieves to provide for?

Sherman to the Jenks, except St. Mar

IT is said John Taylor, the succes
sor of Brighara Young, has had a new
" revelation " to the effect that the re
cent decision of the Supreme Court of
the United States must be disregarded,
aud that the Saints are still duplicat
ing their wives. Congress will no i
doubt make provisions for enforcing
the decision of the Court, and the ,
conflict will then come to decide I
whether the laws of the United States
or polygamy are to be supreme.
PRESIDENT Gowen is again on the
track of conspirators, secretly banded,
to force a strike in the Schuylkill coal
regions, threatening to burn and de
stroy breakers, and in a letter publish
ed in the Philadelphia Time z, gives
them some wholesome advice, byway
of caution. He seems to be well in
formed and names the parties to the
conspiracy. This time it is the Knights
of Labor who are desirous of getting
themselves into trouble. Mr. Gowen,
however, does not seem to be much
alarmed and feels that he is master of
the situation.
"THB function* which we exercita are
committed to u* i* a sacred trust. The
government which we control aa public
officer* U not our own, It belong! to thoae
who elected us. The lew* we enact do not
•xpreM oar will. The money which we
hendla belong* to them and not u*. We
can only take it from them for the legiti
mate expense of government. More than
this i* robbery. Official generosity i*
official crime. Every needKes tax cut*
some comfort* from a thousand home*.
It mean* lew food, la** fuel, and le*t cheer
in many familie*."
The above sentence, true as it is
rare coming from official source, is the
utterance of Gov. Robinson, the Demo
cratic Governor of the State of New
York. It is a lesson which the Gov
ernment and Legislature of Pennsyl
vania might study with profit, and if
followed in its full realization, would
tend very much to relieve the people
of the heavy burden annually
upon them by the extravagant and
shameless appropriations of the mon
eys committed to them as ft " sacred
trust" for the legitimate expenses of
the government and cannot be squand
ered without "official crime."
Death of Henry Lloyd, Nr.
A large number of our readers were
no doubt acquainted with the geutle
man whose name forms the subject of
this article. After a short illness, he
passed away from this earth on Wed
nesday afternoon, the 12th. He was
largely identified with the interests of
the First National Bank of Altoona.
He died at his residence in Pittsburgh.
The following sketch taken from the
Pittsburgh Commercial may be of in
terest:
"The deceased had been seriously ill
for several days with typhoid pneunio
nia, and his death was not unexpected,
yet the announcement of his demise
created a profound sensation in the
large circle of his warm personal friends.
Mr. Lloyd was born in Huntingdon
county on the 25th of December, 1817,
and was at tho time of his death in his
sixty-second year. His father was one
of the most prominent citizens of Hunt
ingdon county. He was elected to the
office of Sheriff* there, and held other
posts of honor in the gilt of his fellow
citizens. He had fivesons, viz., William,
Henry, John, Alexander and Thomas.
Henry, when quite young, evinced a
strong inclination to engage in a busi
ness which would afford him an opor- '
lunity to rise in the world, and he was
fortunate enough to secure a clerkship
in the office at Hollidayaburg of I>.
Leech h Co., the then well known for
warding commission merchants on the
old Pennsylvania carnal. His fellow
clerks there were Thomas A. Scott, the
famous railroad king, H. F. Jones the
no less famous iron manufacturer, Geo.
black, and several others who afterward
made their mark in the business world.
During his residence in Hollidsysburg
Mr. Lloyd became a member of the
Presbyterian church there, of which I
Rev. Dr. McKinney was then pastor, i
and subsequently married a daughter ,
of Dr. McKinney. In 1848, the firm of i
D. Leech St Co., opened an office in this
city, and Henry Lloyd and George
black were placed in charge of it. Af
ter serving several years in the capacity
of clerk, Mr. Lloyd found an opportu- I
nity of embarking in business for him- |
' self. The Kensington iron works was
sold out, and Mr. Lloyd and others
1 bought the concern, the name of the '
firm being Miller, Lloyd iChurch. After-
I ward the name of the firm was changed
to Miller, Lloyd A black, Mr. Lloyd's
; old fellow clerk, George black, pur- j
chasing an interest in the concern, and
i filially, ir. 1857, tho deceased and Mr.
i black bought out the other partners,
| the firm then becoming f.loyd A black, i
| The firm existed until 187-1, when it was
dissolved by the death of Mr. black, i
It was during the career of the Reusing- '
ton Mills under tho direction of Lloyd
k black that the deceased amassed the
I bulk of hislarge fortune, which is esti
mated at a million dollars. After the
death of Mr. black the deceased bought
his late partner's interest in the busi- i
ness and formed a partnership with his
! sons and Mr. Henry Ralken. the style
|of the firm being Lloyd, .Sons St tlo.
The works are now carried on by this
ffrro. Of late years Mr. Lloyd turned
his attention to other pursuits, entrust
ing the management of the iron works
to his partners. Some years ago he
fodhded the Pittsburgh Insurance com- i
pany, of which be was president. He
was also president of the People's Kav- ;
ings bank, a director of the M. k M. -
bank, and one of the founders and for
a long time president of the Safe De
posit Company.
In all the relations of life Mr. Lloyd
seemed to come up to a noble standard,
and of him it seems as if it could rs- 1
pecially be said, ''none knew him but '
to love him," and certainly, "none
named him but to praise." Was not
such a life a radiant success; and now
that he is gone is it too much to say, in
view of his benefactions and his per
sonal character, that "eyes full of heart
break will gaze wistfully adown the path
he has vanished, and for the long after
time hearts that he helped to make
happy will recall his memory with grati
tude and tears?" Ilia paa tor, Mr. Hol
land, said: "In his last hours he show
ed the most childlike Christian faith.
He was a man of sterling integrity and
pure heart, and his end was peaoe. To
his pastor and physician, as well as to
his family about him, he gave the clear
est proof of the firmest Cbriatain faith.
Almost his last words were, 'lt's all
right if I live. If I die that will be
glory. I know that my Redeemer
liveth.'"
THE Philadelphia Time* of Hatur
day, says : "The President's choice for
the Directorship of the Mint has fall
en upon Mr. Burchard, of Illinois,
who resembles the firrl choice, Mr.
Snowden, only in that he knows a
trade dollar from a greenback dollar.
He has some claims to recognition
from the administration, however, for
his valiant defense of tho cause of
Mr. Hayes before the Dudley Field in
vestigation committee, in the winter of
'76-77, and by being one of the few
straight-out Hayes men on the Repub
lican side of the House of Repsenta
lives. When he stood up for Madison
Wells in the stormy days of the Elect
oral Commission he cast his bread
upon the waters, and it has returned
to him after many days. The pressing
necessity for providing far Mr. Burch
ard grows out of the fact that, like
Banks and Townsend, who are already
nominated for good offices, his con
stituents had no further use for bis
services and declined to return him to
Congress. There will be many more
appointments on this account between
now and tfee fourth of March.

The Curtln-Yocum Contest.

IpHil ObiTM|iutii]nc> vf 111* I'm*.
HOWARD, Fob. 11.—Tho Curtln-Yocum
contest has developed • new system of po
litics! crookedness, which, if successful,
will deprive the people of this district of
their honestly end legally elected Repre
sentative. Some twenty day* after the
November election, a "Curlin detective,"
in tlie disguise of a (ireenbacker, appeared
in this place, and made the acquaintance of
Charles Htrunk, a member of the Green
back Club of this district. After tbey had
both looked upon the "wine when it was
red," the detective asked Htrunk "if he had
been paid for voting for Yocum." Htrunk
replied that he "had not, and was not
aware that any person was entitled to pay
for his vote." Htrunk was then informed
by the detective that every jterson in How
ard who voted for Yocum was to have re
ceived $lO, and as Yocum's agent had
missed him (Htrunk), he would givehim the
slonow, as he (tho detective) could get it
hack from Yocum; after which the detec
tive got Htrunk to acknowledge before a
witness that he had received $lO for voting
for Yocum, although the money was re
ceived nearly one month after the election,
and paid by one of Curtin's agents.
Htrunk's business called him out of the
district, consequently lie did not receive
the summons to testify in the matter, hut
the |ier*on who heard Htrunk admit that
ho had received $lO for voting for Yocum
was summoned, and testitied to that fact,
and the "detective" testitied that he gave
Htruuk $lO for voting for Yocum, and
hence Strunk's vote is thrown out,and one
vole made for Curtin. it it supposed that
this kind of a "set up" lias been "put up"
all over the district.
i We clip the foregoing from the
Philadelphia /Ye** of Thursday the
13th in*t. iu order that our readers
may sec to what means the friends of
Mr. Yocum are willing to resort in
order to manufacture public sentiment
in his favor. We do not accuse the
! publishers of the /Ve** with printing
this communication, knowing it to be
fulse in all particulars, because we
sup|x>se they received it as they re
ceive hundreds of other communica
tions, and had no means at hand to
ascertain whether the state-incuts con
tained in it wrerc true or false. The
| story, however, is false in all its details,
and in its entirety. No"Curlin de
j tcetive " was ever in Howard or had
any interview with Charhw Htrunk;
j no one in behalf of Curtin ever gave
him ten dollars or any other sum. As
I far as we kuow, Htrunk never admitted
iu the presence of any one that he
was paid for voting for Yocum, al
though it may l>c true that he was ; no
witueMS was examined to prove any
such admission; no "detective" nor
any other person was called as a wit
ness to prove that he paid Htrunk ten
dollars, or any other sum for voting
for Yocum ; Htrunk himself was ex
amined as a witness and denied having
been paid or promised anything for
j his vote. He was called and exam
ined because of the rumor afloat in
Howard that he had been paid for his
vote, and not from anything any de
tective learned or rv|*rtcd. We say
i we do not blame the. publishers of the
Pre#* for publishing falsehoods, but
we do blame Mr. Yocum and his
friends for sending them. It must be
a bad cause indeed, when its supporters
are driven to .< ,ii mendacity to keep
it afloat. While neither Mr. Yocum
nor any of his counsel, Mr. Furst,
Mr. Love or Mr. Hastings, probably,
wrote the above, yet they cannot
escape responsibility for it unless they
publicly disavow it. We would like
to know whether A. O. Kurt, Esq.,
who has heretofore been recognized as
an honorable member of the legal
profession, and who is an elder in the
church, approves of such device as
this, to bolster up a falling cause. If
not, he should either restrain it, or re
fuse to act with those who resort to it
It would lie idle perhaps to ask the
same question of his associates. Be
fore answering, they would probably
consult Kress and Arnold.
IN relation to appointments in the
New York custom house Mr. Hayes
writes to Collector Merritt as follows :
"Neither my recommendation nor that
of Secretary Sherman, or of any mem
ber of Congress or other influential
person, must be especially regarded."
Ho far as Mr. Hayes himself is con
cerned, it does not seem to have occur
red to him when he wrote these lines,
that it would probably save the per
sons to whom his recommendations are
addressed a deal of embarrassment
and at the same time secure a stricter
compliance with his desires if he gave
no recommendations.
THK New York World explains that
it never alludes to the Tribune as
civilly as it does to its other contem
poraries for the reason that a line of
distinction must be drawn somewhere;
and that a good place to draw it is at
deliberate and open lying persevered
in in order to float deliberate calumny.
A Discussion on Kfirro Citizenship.
ID the North American Review for
the month of March a number of
prominent and dUtiuguinhed public
character* appear a* disputant* upon
the Htill mooted subject of negro citi
zenship. The question* submitted to
them gentlemen for discuiwion are
whether the negro ought to have l>cen
enfranchised and whether he ought
now to la; disfranchised. On the one
side are ranged Mr. Blaine, Wendell
l'hilli|M and Mr. Oarfield; on the
other Mr. Inuuar, Mr. Ktephen* and
General Hampton, while Montgomery
Blair is brought in a* a sort of inter
medial figure. All of them huve con
siderable to say, but the New York
World thinks that Mr. pro
duction will alone bear being judged
by high literary standards. That
journal ulso thinks that the only rial
discussion of the questions is between
Mr. Blaine and Mr. Immar, and re
marks that "Mr. Blaine's object in
writing seems to huvc been to vin
dicate or at least to excuse his own
resolutions introduced curly in the
session. It is un up-hill piece of work
for an aggressive man to explain what
the leaders and the body of his own
party have made him feel was a tre
mendous political blunder. There is
nothing volcanic in the appointment
of Teller committee. The gist of the
original speech out of which ran that
ridiculous mouse was that the black
vote of the South is a mere duplica
tion of the white vote of the South,
which is thus, to the extent of the
black vote, counted twice. Senator
cleverly and judiciously de
votes the greater part of his reply to
this implied proposition, anl nllliougli
do extract cao do his argument justice,
wc make an extract which will indi
cate its purport:
"I will indulge in neither invective nor
d'-nunciation. I will simply take the late
government of Sooth Carolina or ol I/ouis
iana, or of other Stat/-* under similar rule,
and deocrilx- it in language that Mr. Itlaine
may himself select. When he has odd it*
history I will ask him whether he would
willingly, as a patriotic American, desire
to see hit own State, or any other of the
free Slates, reduced to such a level T lam
i.ot afraid of hi* answer, or that of any
man who hat l>ern bred under the tra-Ji
lions of a virtuous civilisation. Then I
will say to bim ; This, it it true, is a pain
ful result ; but when you put tho ballot in
tha hand* of an ignorant negro majority
as a meant of education and progress you
must be patient while they learn their lew
ton. We of the South have borne all this
because we knew that the reaction mutt
come. It has come. The results which
you tee to txj to bed the negro hat teen
also, lie ha* come hack to us with the
same blind impulse with which a few years
•go he lied from ut. He may be as ignor
ant a Democrat at he was an ignorant
Republican, hut vear# must yet pat* before
the ballot will have educated him fully
Into self-reliant, temperate citizenship;
and what we of the South have borne our
friendt of the North must I—r with us
until the negro has become w hat we both
want U> make bim. Thi* is iart of hit
education. • • • Hut all thii
while the ballot ha* been educating the
negro. He ha* learned that he we* a
power between liepublican end Democrat
lie it now learning rapidly that at the
South he it a power between Democrat
and Democrat, and in the late election he
made that power felt in the result. 1
would have preferred a much lot# cotly
tuition : but. such at it it, it ha* been paid
for, and if Mr. Htaine will patiently trust
hit own theory be will find the ballot in
tho hands of the negro the heat defenae
and the Iwat educator. Hut, at the South
ha* been juitient, to mutt he be patient.
At the South hat chafed ineffectually when
that vole was all against her white people,
so will he chafe ineffectually when it it
now largely for them. • • a When
Mr. Hlaine admit* that disfranchisement it
impossible and that the ballot has been, in
tplte of all drawback*, a benefit to the
negro, he really prove* that there it no
organic question affecting great national
intermit, but simply the subordinate ques
tion, How rapidly Is the ballot fitting the
negro for the full enjoyment of hit citiien
thin, and what influence does hie vote ex
ercise upon the supremacy of one party or
the other in netionel politic* T This flitter
may be an interesting question, but not
one which *hould disturb either a sound
national sentiment or great national inter
est*. Ido not propose to discus* it. lam
of opinion that to make the negro a free
citizen It wat n see wary first to take bim
from hi* master. Then it became necessa
ry to take him from the perty which claim
ed hit labor. The next step will he to
take him as a rlass from either party, and
allow him to differ and divide jutl at white
men do."
It may bo inferred that Mr. Blaine
di<l not find it caay to silence hi* own
gun* thus turned againat him. In
point of fart he made no aerioua effort
to do this, but devoted the rloaing
paper, to which by the rule* of the
tournament he waa entitled, to irrelc.
vant generalitiea. Neither Mr. Blaine
nor any other of the debater* except
Mr. launar will derive any oonaidera
ble increaae of reputafion from thi*
sympoaium, though several of the pa
pen are sensible ami well considered.
Mr. Lamar's paper, however, is really
noteworthy for polemical akill a* well
aa for political sagacity, and will en
hance the esteem and confidence which
the moderation and patriotism of his
course in the House aod the Hcnate
have earned for bim both at the North
and at the South."
