The democratic apportionment com mitteo of the house, it it now apparent, made it great mistake, They should have met the enemy on hi* own ground. They should not have submitted so fair a hill os the one sent to tho senate. They should rather have sent one de manding for our party, not thirteen coneressmen out of the twenty eight' but fifteen. The republicans, had the position* been reversed, would have doneao. The democrats were, however, not fair alone, but liberal to a fault, and a* a consequence the Stewart bill that must otherwise have been looked upon a* a clear swindle, as it is, gets from non-partisans of the McClure order tin title of fairness. Its framer has not forgotten, by the way, the tactics of the party with which he trained so long, as is evident from the lact that in his bill bis own district—Franklin, I'erry and Dauphin —is what might bo railed red hot in its republicanism.— HVX- irre I'nion-Ittadrr. Arthur uml Reform. The correspondence between ex-Con gressman Itezendorf, of Virginia, and Secretary Chandler, of tho navy depart* tuent, recalls to mind the electoral fraud of 1876. It was William K.' hand ler who planned the conspiracy which resulted in tho fraudulent counting in of Hayes, the defeated candidate for president. It was ho who managed the villainy of the Florida returning board and arranged with the scoundrels wh perpetrated it for their reward in ap pointrnents to federal offices by tin fraudulent president. So offensive to common decency were bis methods in that atrocious political crime and so gen orally disreputable was his character a a politician that when ex I'resideni Darfield appointed him solicitor of the department of justice the I'nited Mate senate rejected the appointment with the votes of the most prominent repul lican senators recorded in the negative. And this is the man who has become the head of a great department and who aits at the council board of a prosi dent who pretends to execute the law for a reform of the civil service, Small wonder is it that the republican ex-congressman from Virginia should find occasion to complain of the abuse of the federal power in an interference in local elections by the navy depart ment and still lest surprising that his complaint to the unscrupulous secretary met with contempt and derision. What else could have been expected of Wil liam K. Chandler? We do not gather grapes from thorns nor figs from thistles. Nor ia Mr. Chandler at all concerned about public opinion. He is a states man of the pachydermatous order whose sensibilities could not be touched with a whip of scorpions. He triumphs in iniquity and glories in shame. For. what is political honesty to htm since he attained his present station in spite of the opposition of those who believe in public as well as private integrity? Hut while Mr. Chandler, not having any character to lose, may despise criti cism and defy bis critics, the case is somewhat different with President Ar thur. It is true that the latter was educated in the political school which holds the end to justify the means, and that on a notable occasion he expressed his admiration of the sovereign qualities of "soap" as a proselyting agent, but he has lately affected a much higher stand ard and has even manifested a purpose to make what hia flatterers style "a clean administration." The retention of Chandler in his cabinet, after the Ileten dorf exposure, cannot, however, be made to consist with the high purposes attributed to the president. Mr. Chan dler's department has confessedly vio lated the very fundamental principles ! of civil service reform by corruptly in j terfering in the local elections in Vir ginia, Nay, it i* charged by Mr. Dezen : dorf that both the Secretary of tho ; Navy and the President are "committed to tho support of Senator Mahone by arrangement," and that "arrangement," 1 in the language of that pronounced re publican journal, the New York Timet, i "has been accompanied by practices on Mr. Mahone's part which if persisted | in after the Ifilb of last .January en- I titled that gentleman to a conspicuous and reasonably permanent position in the penitentiary." Doubtless the crimi nal practices of Mahone are entitled agreeable to Mr. ('handler, who is quite j proud of his own political crimes, but the sensitive and high minded Arthur, : who has but recently discarded "soap" as a political agent and like Falstatl re solved to "eschew sack ami live clean. I y," can hardly afford to be longer asso ciated in an "arrangement with a crimi nal whom tho principal organ of the republican party condemn* to a felon's cell. In fact it i* plain that the presi dent must speedily choose between hi* reform principles and William I . < han i-ller. i 'ne or the other must go.— l far . ritfiur/ Patriot, The I'uciflt- I-attil (iranta Again. The application of tho Southern f'aci rie Hailroad Company of tho Interior i Department for tho land grant of four , teen million teres tnado by Congress to ; the Texas Pacific recalls to the attention of the public the vast are.is ol our rich ••st domain reckles-ly given away by Congress to railroads without one iota of compensation on tho part ol those cor- I poral ion. The Texas Pacific received a large land grant from the State of Texas and •t further grant of '2">,iK*i acres per mile in Arizona and New Mexico, contingent ' upon building its lino through those Territories. The company ceased work. 1 however, on arriving at the Texas bor lcr and therefore never earned an acre of the national grant. The Southern Pacific built from the profits of the ' Pnion Pacific, met the Texas Pacific at I ihe Texan border and practically con •olidated. The former, which was a Und grant without a railroad, pooled i 'Mies with the latter, which was a rail roa I without a land grant. An attempt was made to pass a 1 ill through Con j gress last winter, winch if successful would have made the consolidation complete. This wa defeated, however, md now the demand is made for the land, under the terms of the lato de iion in the Louisiana eases. 'I he department should promptly and peremptorily refue the impertinent de nand. The Texas Pacific, to which the land was pledged, never earned an acre ■fit. The Southern Pacific, which now laims it, never was granted an acre of tby Congress. The ..-rant never should , dave been made at all, and as the orlgi i oal parties have forfeited all claim by 'heir own art the first folly should not t>e deliberately repeated when there ia no occasion for it. T his 14,000,000 acres, now m;.fioo,ouO. would make three States nearly as large a* New fer -ey. The land is nee.led lor settlers ind should not be turned over to swell he already bursting coffers of .lay 'iould and the Pacific partners of the -ante syndicate. They are already gorged 'o repletion with riches. The vast fer tile domains ran be more appropriately - listributed among the hundreds of housands of |>oor toilers, who can found honest homes and l>ec'ime good ut my appro va! house bill No. fit, entitled *'A sup element to an act entitb d an act regu ating boroughs,approve 1 the third day of April, A I), lk.'d, authorizing the corporate authorities of any borough to vacate any road, aires -l, lane, alley or tny part thereof withir said borough. ' 1 his bill authorize* the borough au thorities, after notice and hearing, to vacate any road, etreei, Une, alley or vny part thereof, whether the same be public or private. From the exercise of such jiower by the borough authori ties, a party aggrieved thereby may make complaint to the next quarter seaaions. The order of the court upon ate lanes. illeys, roads and highways when become ue less, ' serves all the needful | impose- ->f the present bill, and at the same time protects the rights of private owner-. 'The proceedings required by thi-art, to wit, tho petition of :l least twelve fre i holder*, is aUo more in accordance j with legal analogy and the spirit of our j laws, 'The act furthermore nvests the right to vacate in the courts a safer 1 I more deliberate and more permanent tribunal than the burge-s an I council. ' j In the case of a priv .to way laid out by j the owners of the soil, act of h.VJ re ' 'pure* the i-oic nt of all the parties in t-Tested therein before the same can le ' vacated. Altogether that law is an ex celled and etTeclive enactment and I can see no need for the passage of the present bill. Tor these reasons I r< turn the bill wit hout my approval. lur l.itnir* .v., i., TV g.ves 1 some interesting information respecting the new Congressman from the oi l "Wilrnot I'.strict" that cannot fail to be of interest ||c is the youngest mem' b. r of tho present Congress and ws j born in Cuba, N. V , September Ist, IV,',, and is therefore in his twenty eighth vear. He is a lawyer by profes j sion and is destined to soon be the lead tng practitioner at the bar in Northern Pennsylvania. In politics Mr. Post is .• democrat. He is a prominent and in. fluential roetnhe,* of the Knights of Honor. In 1*77 he waa elected Mayor of >u*quehanna. lor several years ho was the secretary of the motive j-ow-or department of the Krio railway at Sua quebnnna. He is an excellent public speaker and his fr ends predict for him a brilliant Congres nonal career. As be fore stated he wi II enter the Forty eighth Congress n *t Hecember, occu pying the conspicuous position of being its youngest mcmbe r. Tiir. New V ork Tn'unr believes that the liepuhlican party may rally fcom its misfortunes and be happy becai. ae "it has a past of which it is not asham ed." This declaration stirs up the New York World to say : There is certainly no evidence that the Kepublican party is ashamed of its ; past. It had a secretary of war named Belknap, and it was not ashamed of bis practices. It showed no shame for the whiskey frauds in which its Kabrock was implicated. It waa not ashamed of the Credit Mobilier briltery and cor ruption by which liepuhlican* were bought up to vote and act in congresa for tho benefit of the Union Pacific railroad. It had a vice president named Colfax who waa covered all over with Credit Mobilier mud, but it is certainly not ashamed of him. It stole tf.e presidency for Hayes without any shame. It rewarded those who bs d aided in the theft, and did not blua b. it waa not ashamed to raise a millio i dollar* in New York to send to Indian a a* a corruption fund to buy tha vote oi' the State. It elected Garfield and Arthur by open bribery and flagrant fraud* on the ballot box without blush ing. Ita cheeks did not burn with I shame when a banker who had collect ' ed the corruption funda waa rewarded ' with tho French mission. It see* its postollico officials, its ex senator and secretary of its national committee on (rial at Washington for robbing the government ol million* of dollars, but that trifle does not call a blush of shame to its cheek, it saw ita candi date lor the presidency write a letter to the chief of the star route robbers beg ging for money for the presidential campaign, but found nothing to blush at in that. It reads the last infamous ■ j river and harbor steal unhliishingly. Ifeally, the Itepublican party i not | j ashamed of anything. Almost Perpetual Mellon. Bl VI It*VII 1, , May 22.
