elected are Governor, Lieutenant Goirer

spectively, and a Judge of the Supreme
Court to succeed SHARSIVOOD. MERCER

Judge will take his place at the foot of
the bench, so to speak. There will also
be chosen one-half of the State Senate
(members from the even numbered dis
tricts), and entire House of Representa

CHRONIC LIARS.
It i 3 possible:for a man to be in
dependent in polities , _yet not a
chronic liar. We hope it is equally
possible for a man to publish an in
dependent newspaper and not- lie
more than half the time. s The first
fact has been demOnstrated. The
latter fact remains to bd domonstrat-
ed. The reason *by it, has not bee
demonstrated•is that most of the men
who pretend o run anindependent
newspaper never had any convictions,
hence no earnestness, and hence,
again, tOo little faith in the existence
of truth to make it a rule of 'action.
These reflections came to us atter
reading the circumstantial . account
of
. a "stalWart " conference held at
the house of Senator CAMERON
in WashingtOn. - The story runs
that Gen. BEAVER and State Senator
COOPER, together with a number of
"bosses " met at the house of Sena
tor CAMERON the other night and de
cided. upon Gen. BEAVER• as ~the
candidate of the "machine" for
Governor. The inherent improba
bility of the story- was sufficient to
st•imp Was atlie, but the fact 'that
Men who were declared to have been
present at
.the meeting were in Phil
adelphia. and Harrisburg_on the night
it was reported to have been held,
ought certainly to put an end to the.
Canard. But it will not. Thete .are
men, and not a few at that, who
wTuld• believe the report even were
r
tho• author to come bodly fOrward
and admit that it was _a lie out o
• • -
whole cloth.
The objeCt of the - report was to
slaughter Gen. BEAVER 'before the
Convention meets. It seems to be
admitted that Gen. BE4VER is a pure
man, competent } and deserving. Ile
had the misfortune not to have been
a . eopperhead or a 'snarler during the
war. He was fool enough to serve
with distinction through the war.
Hence every man who went about
shaking in his shoes, and crying that
we were beaten " any how," while Gen.
BEtVEIS, was in the field, is now bent
in killing him off/ We do not know
Gen. BEAVitt 'personally. He may
be an aspirant for the Republican
nomination for aught we can say to
tl contr i ary. If he it's an honest,
honorable man, and. competent; we
know no good reason why he is not
privileged to aspire to
,any office.
Should he be nominated we should
not care particularly who preferred
or who !did not prefer him. Nor
should We object to , supporting him
because .IOIIN SMITII, or TOM JONES,
with whom we have quarreled, propos
ed to-vote for him. We leave that
sort of warfare to old women, and
boys under twelve. It is not our
way., Every year we have to vote
nod work for men for whom men not
at all to our mind vote. We have
never, badthe pleasure of voting for
anybody for whom none but our bos
om friends voted. That would be
nice of course. So it would be nice
if one had not to choose between stir-
Ideation and breathing the same at.
mosphere with liars, and other bad
people.
Brit this is a world in which good
and evil are pretty
,much mixed.
Sometimes men and women of small
calibre, and smaller_ faith, become
(Disgusted with the mixture and hang,
drown, or shoot themselves. That
is probably good for the world, but
is it good for the victim 3? ' We con
clude. not. Suicide is not a remedy
for what is evil in this world. Polit
jail suicide is not a remedy for what

we cannot, have it all our own way

the Republican party is not to our

the partv The fact that there is not
a great deal to choose between‘men,

the tendency to idolatry. 'We dorriA
hs,ppen ki.ow any man in .Penn

show that while remembering the
mass of mankind he never forgets
himself. No man of intelligence can
remember any other kind of a public .
man. The first law of nature is a
good On its operation hangs
the survival of the fittest. The man
of_energy tends to perpetuate his

beneficence of the rete is the. ease of
the stalwart liar. He al,o perpetn

TUE NEW ATTORNEY GENPIAL.
The President on Friday last sent
to the Senate the name of BENJAMIN
HARRIS BREWSTER, of- Philadelphia,
for Attorney General, and the nomi-
nation was subsequently unanimously
confirmed. Mr. BREWSTER, VMS
born October 13, 1816, in' Salem
County, N, J., where his ancestors
for several generations had lived and
owned large estates. He was- grad
uated from Princeton College in
1834, and immediately entered - upon
the study of law in the office of Mr.
Eta K. PRICE in Philadelphia. In
1838 he.was admitted to practice at
the bar, and soon attained great
prominence in his profession. He I
was appointed by President „POLK
Commissioner to adjudicate the claims
of the Cherokee Indians against the
United States, and in 1867 was ap
pointed Attorney-General of the S tate
of Pennsylvania by Governor GEARY.
With these excep yms he has hitherto
been a stranger public offitial life,
although his friends have repeatedly
urged his availability for a position
in the Cabinet, or IL seat in the Ilia
ed States Senate. For forty years
heohas been regarded as one of the .
foremost lawyers of Philadelphia,
and has been retained as counsel in
a large number , 'of celebrated cases
He has'also won renown as a classi
cal scholar, lecturer and orator. In
personal appearance Mr. BREWSTER
is of a little more than the average
height, and slightly inclined toward
corpulency. His iress and courtly
manners are those of the past gene
ration.
In referring - to the appointment
the Philadelphia 'North Americari
says : "In appointing Mr. BENJA
MIN HARRIS BREWSTER to the "Attor
ney Generalship, President , ARTHUR
has given fresh evidence of the sound
ness of hi's judgment, and of the pe
culiar faculty foi putting the'right
man in the right place , : with which
since the beginnind of his adminis
tiation he has shown himself' to be
endowed. * * * * 'And
then again, Mr. BREWSTER'S connec
tion with the Star route cases fur
nished' a very strong argument id his
favor. In this respect no more ap
propriate choice could possibly have
been made, and in chSosing for his
Attorae } y General the man who is so
exceptionally conversant- with the
details of, the pendini charges, and
who perhaps' above all others is qual
ified and May be trusted to so order
things that no guilty man shall be
permitted4o escape whom the gov
ernment is able to convict and pun
ish, President ARTHUR has added to
the many eviden - ces of *his purpose to
have the charges which have been
made pressed home, a proof so con
vincing that those who have thus far
continued to impugn his motives and
to discredit his sincerity, will, if they
have any sense of decency left, be
constrained to cease their slanderous
imputations. Mr. BREWSTER'S ap
pointment is a notice to all concern
ed in this Star route seandarthat no
one who can be proved guilty of
fraud, as alleged, need expect mercy.
AMONG the multitude of revenue meas
ures just introduced into Congress, there
is one _which proposes to make a uniform
reduction of ten per cent. in all the.pro
t ctive duties of the tariff. This measure
was enacted once before by Congress at a
time when the Treasury was overflowing
with money, and subsequently repealed
when the country was suflering under a
terrible commercial revulsion. The North
American thinks that there can be no
doubt that there will be an effort made to
force the passage of this measure during
the present session by some sudden and
surprising movement by Democrats, eree
traders and popularity-seekers, and there
fore the friends of the American system
will have to be on their guard.

I. D. MCKEE, CHARLES SPYKER
WOLFE'S chairman, has-issued aeall for
a conference of the Worsz followers to
be held at the continental Hotel, in Phil
adelphia, Janurry 12th. at 10 o'clock A.
M. The calt says the conference is fur
the purpose of taking "into consideration
the wisdom of placing in nomination pro
per persons for the offices of Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of Inter •
nal Affairs and Supreme Court Judge
and such other matters as may come be
fore it." We suppose this is the second
chapter of "Reform within the party, but
outside of its organization."

months. In addition, about 300 to 400

nies, and the addition to the 18,000 loco

ly, taking the average life of an engine at
from fifteen to twenty years, so that the
addition of new locomotives like that of

was rendered 19 the Supretre Court of

that where billiards or pool is played with

against the defence. The witness
