CORRESPONDENCE between Postmaster
General JAMES and Hon. GEORGE Bun,
,
of counsel inlbe Star Route mail cases,
under dates of December 17th and lgth,
is made public. The Postmaster Gene-al
states that he is convinced that money
has o been paid out of the funds oftliegov
' eminent, under circumstances which
bring such payments within section 4,057
of the Revised Statutes, and he believes
there is suffic'ent evidence to maintain
suits for its recovery. Mr. Buss in reply
_reviews previous proceedings at large,
and in conclusion says : "Both civil and
criinieatproceedings will be pushed - as
rapidly as is consistent with justice to the
government and the departments, `thinigh
it isluite possible that pun Rillnot find
the progress so-rapid as you desire."
Wrrn the Philadelphia Nora .4 nierican
we think that,
.thatso many reputable pa

the famous scoundrel now on trial at Wash
ington is allowed to indulge, is a fact to be
regretted. The C:i. i , tal is in this way
given unnecessary notoriety, and is led to

TUE APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.
The committee of what have been
called the "Continental Republicans,"
or Republicans who demand reform' '
within the party, has issued an ad
dress (which the reader will find in
another column) to the Republicans
of the State, as temperate in its
statements' as it is elevated in tone
and vigorous in logic. The address
indulges in no personalities, dis
claims for the Republicans it repre
sents any intention to make' war upon
persons, and asks the masses of the
party to see to ;it that the next State
Convention is' so constituted as to
represent them tin fact as well as in
form.
The objeCts of these; Independents,
as set forth in the address, is legiti-
Mate. It is simply a - movement for
a reform in methods. by 'which the
voice of the party fairly expressed,
shall take the place of force, applied
to produce results in preliminary
political action. There is a positive
and increasing dissatisfaction in the
party at large as respects the man
agement:of primary politics. Nor is
this dissatisfaction a recent develop
ment. Careful observers have noted
it for years, and have raised the note
of warning from time to time, hoping
to avert intestine quarrel. The warn
ing has not been heeded, and last fall
we had. an, indication of what studied
neglect of warning may lead to if
persisted in. We do not intend; to
flatter the Republican masses by
informing them that they have been
robbed of their right to . free choice
in the selection of candidatesi They
have not been robbed. If they have
not had their own way it is because
they have not asserted their rights
and exercised their undeniable pre rog.
ative. - The people may better be told
that they are competent to reform
the methods of primary political pro
cedure without going outside of the
organization. The fact is that the
mass of voters have neglected to ex
ercise their prerogative in selecting
candidates. More than this, they
have fallen into the habit of leaving
the selection of .delegates to all con
ventions to the few who care-enough
about politics to give the matter at
tention. ,
The propei way to receive a popu
lar rt . presentation in a State Conven
tion is to organize by election dis
tricts and elect the delegates. The
practice of leaving such duties to the
county committee of the party is not
good. It is bad for the people and
bad for the committee. It leaves the
way open for the accusation of a
packed convention. A county com
mittee is constituted for local pur
poses only, and - at best'is an 'accom
modation: Its duties are strictly
local. It has no more . to do with
selecting delegates to a State Con
vention than 4, has with selecting
delegates to the National Convention
No contest over such delegates should
ever be carried beyond the county
limits. Elect- the delegates and in
struct them, and if they disregard
their instructions, deal with them and
not with perions afar off. If the
party will assert for itself its right to
local self-government it need have no
fear of " bosses," or of "machines,"
or of juntas:
And while speaking of " bosses "
and "machines," it will be as well
to take some of the meretricious
glamour from these war cries. When
men say they want "leaders" but
not " bosses," they seem to forget
that every leader is in one and x
very important dense a " boss." He
gives the word of command ; and to
him;the people.look for action. He
is made responsible for all blunders.
A sagacious leader is a sagacious
"boss," and itheZsooner the people
understand it the better. We do
not teach men that they can eat their
cake and keep it. We do not teach
them - that a leader does not lead. If
he does not Lead, he.is no leader So
.when men say they want omanization
'bat not a machine, they stem to for,
get that organization is only the ap
.plicatian.of mechanical principles to
human community of action. Every.
organization is a " machine." The
army is .a " machine ;" corporations
arc " machines ;" all genlernment is
a "machine." We , speak of the
," machinery" of government, and we
speak correctly. Words express
Ideas and figurei things. What we
need Is wise loaders and organiza. :
tioa that organizes. Falligtows nen
need not be frightened by words.
Old women can have a monopoly of
that sort of thing;, or any can abase
the monopoly With pelitical advent.
nren. We want leaders who lead
and organliation that organise& We
"don't want to be ungoestioning
slaves of either.

Gradually but, surely the 'adminis
tration of President ARTHUR appears
to be developing a policy for itself
which may be styled distinctively
Republican. It is always necessary
for any national administration of
this government that would be suc
cessful at all to adheie generally to
the measures and policy of that
poweitol body of the people whose
votes at the polls called It into exist
ence. And whenever a' President
and Cabinet undertake to tun coun
ter to those measures and that policy,
the result cannot fail to be unfortu.
nate for the anministration as well as
for the country. If, says the Phila
delphia:North American, the Repub.
Hain party has been so offensive to
public sentiment as some of the pre
tentious independent journals have
labored to make their readers be
lieve, the party coal not possibly
have carried the last Presidential
election, and at the same time over
come the Democratic majority in
Congress. And iti must be distinct
ly understood that the ' Republican
party did not ride into power merely
on the personal popularity of the
candidates, but by reason of public
eonfidence:in the general tendency of
- the principles, measures and policy
of the , Republican organization in
preference to all others. It must be
borne =ie mind that the resumption of
specie payment, which was carried
into effect so brilliantly in 1879
under the auspices of the HAYES ad-
Ministration, was provided for by
the last Republican Congress during
I the second term of GRANT'S admin-
istration, a; policy that was then per
sistently urged in Congress by Gen.
in opposition to a most for
midable public sentiment in favor of
an irredeemable paper currency. 'lt
must alio be remembered that the
funding system for the reduction of
the public debt in principal and in
terest Was enacted by the Republican
Congress driring the same adminis
tration:
Thus in point of fact all the bri
liant financial measures by the HATER'
administration were but the continu
ation of the established Republican
policy with which Mr. SUERMAN had
been identified during his long ca
reer as chairman of the Senate Fi
nance Committee. Hence President
ARTHUR has acted wisely and judi
ciously in gradually developing a
firm' determination to make his ad
ministration distinctively Republi
can. In so doing he has found him
self in full Record with a clear , ma
jority of both Houses of Congress;
and if this harmony , shall result in
the passage of measures suggested
and recommended in the President's
annual message:the whole country
will have reason to rejoice. _The
country has had enough of factious
struggles between divisions of the
Republican party, and has, grown
very...weary of the warfare kept up
against every Republican 'leader as
being a sort of partisan machine
boss. For the most part those lead
ers are very well aware that they
are only powerful so long as they
have sentiment to back them, and
therefore if they manage to rule by
always carefully obeying public .seu
timeni, it is mere moonshine to ex
pect a different state of things to be
called into existence merely to satisfy
the ambition or leading malcontents
or Independents. President ASBTHUR
will'be popular and powerful so long
as he respects public sentiment and
firmly adheres to the well-established
principles and policy as well as the
traditions of the . Republican regime.

Untied supremacy in both - Eltate - and
'tattoo - we alike desire. - •
We share with you a .great pride
in our party's past achievements s and
believe With you that, =signal and
honorable as these have been, its mis
sion is not yet complete. The pres
ent has political issues of magnitude
and importance, and the near futurb
will unfold others which must dial-
Lange equal if not greater attention
and statesmanship. Through more
than twenty years of the greatest
epoch in our annals the onward
march of the country has been the
history of the Republican party, and
by its devotion,to human liberty and
equal rights, by its character and its
inspiration, this paity Is beat quali
fied to settle and adjust these ques
tions as they arise, and to give to the
country continued safe repose. So
you believe and so do we.
No one can be indifferent to such
considerations as these, and it is,
therefore, with deep concern for the
future usefulness of our party that
we assume to address you at this
time. What we have more directly
and immediately in 'view is to keep,
if possible, our own State fixed and
steadfast, in her party allegiance.
The importance of; Pennsylvania as
a factor in national' politics is mani
fest. In the present condition of
things Republican ascendancy in the
General Govertament can only be
maintained by her continued support,
and the question which presents itself
to your , consideration is—how can
this be secured ?
That a great majority of the voters
of Pennsylvania are thoroughly and
earnestly Republican in their views
and sympathies we do not 'doubt
The political record of twenty years
attests their approval and acceptance
of the doctrines and principles of the
party. BuOrhile this is true, so it
is equally Manifest that their party
allegiance has been weakened, and
that discohtent and 'dissatisfaction
prevail. We need noOther evidence
or this than the fact that at the last
general election over 40,000 Republi
cans refused their. support to the
party's candidate, and gave it to an
otkar, while still asserting their de
votion to Republican principles and
their earnest desire for the party's
ascendancy. Experience shows that
men are ;not easily shaken in their
party allegiance, and when dissatis
faction finds expression in such em
phatic tone it may safely be assumed
that evils exist in the party that need
to be corrected. This protest was
not against the party or creed of the
party, but against repugnant methods
of party management. It was an
earnest' demand, pregnant with warn
ing, that the Republican party should
henceforth be true to itself; that its
.convictions and preferences should
find an honest expression and that
its representativaconventions should
reflect and second the will of the
party rather than the decrees of a
political junta.
The truth is not to he disguised,
nor, indeed, can it be.. Repeated in
stances of our State Convention via
lently disregarding the popular! pre
ference in candidates; but assuming
powers which did not rightfully be
long to them, at the dictation of a
few, are fresh in your recollection.
This subserviency, it is true, was fol
lowed by your,just indignat ion, but
only to be repeated by succeeding
conventions. The result is before
you in the last general election.
Whether the existing grievances and
abuses justified such action,
or wheth
er such action was the best - t - method
to correct. them, it is no part of our
purpose to j'inquire. It was the pro
test of the men who made it and they
alone are responsible for it. Others
equally sincere in their condemnation
preferred other remedies. It is not
our business to approve or censure.
All we desire or seek to accomplish
is to restore harmony, a united party
and better methods. These can be
secured in no other- way than -by the
removal of all just cause of complaint.
The party needs and, if it is to-suc
ceed in the future, must have a sure
and speedy deliverance from the tyr
anny of personal dictation;
• •and •
cy of proscnotunr punishment
for those who darOo oppose the,rule
of an oligarchy must be abandoned ;
the popular will must be, consulted
and respected, and power of the; or
ty used for higher purposes thajthe
bestowal of offices upon unworthy
favorites and dependents. -
That so much can be accomplished
by proper effort without resorting.to
revolutionary methods we do not
doubt. Political control becomes
centered in the hands of the few only
by the neglect and indifference of the
many. The source of political power
is in the priMaries. These give ex
preision and character to your larger
conventions. If they are committed
to the' management and control of
men whose interest in politics rises
no higher than the4hope of office or
patronage for themselves, no reform
can be expected. But they need not
be, and should not. It is only be
cause those most interested in the
cause of good • government fail to
participate in these important assem
blies that they are so often perverted
and made to work such great evils.
If by any effort the masses of the
Republican party can be incited to
active participation in these primary
contests the work of reformation will
net only hive begun, but will be
completed. The selfish few will be
compelled to give way to the many
whose party fealty is , not dependent
upon patronage nor sustained by
plunder. J -
The occasion is it hand for Tod to
redeem your party or increase its
peril. A State convention will soon
be called to:place in nomination can
didates tot, high and important offi
ces. Shaik that convention be com
posed of Men who can and will, des
pite the solicitation and influence of
centralized power, reflect your wishes
and be true to the best interests of
the party, or, shall it be composed of
those whose sense of political duty
is' - obedience to personal rule and
peacefhl submission to its extrava
gant exactions? It is. thr _you to
say; anti as you determine in your
primary meetings and county con
ventions so it must be.
Our only purpose in-this address
is to call your attention to the mag
nitude of the evils which exist; the
extreme danger in
_which they have,
placed us as a party,and to urge your
,to exert yourselves in-the only way
which
.promises relief - and safety.
We have no interest iathe matter,
except , that which we share in com
mon with all who desire the success
of the party tot the; , common good.
In that cause we enjoin upon youths
Importaitee of making the next State

the party demands, and has o right
to demand, that the delegates shall

legitimate local representative con-
Ventions, snd that the State Conven--
tion shall be held' at a time which
will permit the - fair, fidl and deliber

ME GIIITEAU TRIAL
WEDNESDAY.'
The trial of . Guiteau was resumed
on the 21st. Dr. Allan McLane Ham-
ilton, of New-York, and Dr. Worces
ter. of Salem, Mass., gave testimony
that went against the theory o 1 the
defence. Guitean's 'former wife was
recalled to the witness-stand for a
moment. The assassin apparently
realized his growing danger of being
hanged r and threw the responsibility
upon Mr. Scoville, whom he annoyed
and humiliated by his abuse. He
called his counsel a consummate
idiot, said he had no sense and no
wit, asserted that he was compromis
ing the ease, and ordered him to get
out of it. He - said : "If I were in
dicted for , manslaughter and Scoville
defendei me, I would be hanged for
murder ;" and "I expect' that' the
Almightyinotwithstanding 'Scoville's
asinine character; will see that I am
protected."
THURSDAY.
Tto greater part of - the session at
the Guiteau trial Thursday was oc
capied by the examination of Dr.
Theodore Dimon, of Auburn, N. Y.,
who, summoned originally for the
defence, testified for the prosecution
that in hit; opinion Guiteau was sane.
The cross-examination was long and
tedious. Guiteau was unusually
quiet, though he became very much
excited when Mr. Shair ' who had tea
tiled previously to the Wilkes Booth
story, was called. Mr. Scoville shared
the assassin's excitement while he
was showinii that the witness had
'been on trial for perjury. The wit
ness testified that his arrest for per
jury bad been caused by a mistake
which ho made, and that the jury ac
quitted him on the first ballot.
FRIDAY.
Charles IL-Reed, of Chicago, who
'has appeared as a witness for the de-
fence,. Friday formally assumed the
character of counsel for Guiteau. It
was also found that Dr. Spitzka, who
was chief expert for the defence, had
beCome voluntary counsel for th as
sassin and given evidence in refer
ence to the examination of expert
witnesses for the prosecution. Will
iam A. Edwards, of . Brooklyn, cor
roborated the testimony of D. Mc-
Lean Shaw respecting Guitean's dec
laration of his purpose of dying noto
rious even if he had to imitate
Wilkes Booth. Dr. S. 11. Talcott,
superintendent of? the New-York
State Homoeopathic Asylum for the
Insane, and Dr. Henry P. Stearns, of
.Hartford,testitled to their belief that
Guiteau was sane when he 'shot the
President. The assassin said to Dr.
Talcott : do not pretend that at
this morniint I am anymore insane
than you are; but I do say that on
the 24-of July last, and for fifteen
days before that I was insane."
SATURDAY.
The continued interruptions of the
assassin Ouiteau Saturday were so
offensive that the proseeutipn asked
that he he placed in the dock, the
place set aside in criminal courts for
prisoners. - Justice Cox replied that
he had the matter under considera
tion but did.not wish to act hastily.
After a short period of silence the
prisoner, who had declared that: the
judge has no power to , place him in
the dock, continued his insulting , re
marks to counsel and witnesses: He
- -
closed thiwoceedings for the day by
wishing everybody "a happy Christ
mas." The experts examined were
Dr. Henry P. Stearns, of Hartford;
Dr. J. Strong, of the Insane Asylum
at Cleveland ; Dr. Abram Shaw, of
the Middletown (Conn.) Hospital for
the Insane; and Dr. Orpheus Evart%
of College Hill, Ohio. All expressed
the beli ef that the prisoner was sane
on the 2d of July. Mt's. Scoville-has
been called home by sickness inler
family. The Court adjOurned . until
Tuesday. -
TUESDAY
The trial of Guiteau was resumed
Tuesday. The only witnetis called
to the stand •was Dr. A. E. Macdon
%ld, superintendent; of the New York
City Insane' Asylum- J on, Ward's
Island. His testimony was of the
greatest importance and was exceed
ingly damaging to the defence. Mr.
Macdonald said that he did not be
lieve in the existence of hereditary
insanity or of moral insanity. This
last, he, said, was merely another
name invented for wickedness or
craft. He did not hesitate to pro
nounce the assassin sane and to say
,that he has been playing a part in
the court-room, He said that
Guiteau in his cell ~ spoke to him of
his conception of removing the
President and not of an inspiration'
forcing him to the act, and also,that
the assassin spoke'of being acquitted
on the ground of legal insanity, and
-a then being released from- the
asylurir by a commission. The
assassin has prepared what- he calls
a Christmas greeting.

Was* Poem, Va., Dec. 27. While
a stevedore's gang yesterday
.were
discharging s . cargo from the steamer-
West Point, plying between here
and Baltimore, they : want into the
hold - to take -out aolm 'barrels of
kerosene: An - explomou occurred,
blowing off the side of the vessel
and setting the latter on fire. - Nine
teen persons, including four of the
crew and nearly all of the stevedore
hands, perished. Several others
were badly hurt. The clew were
mostly from Baltimore and the la-
borers from "Richmond and West
Point.
The steamer was valued at $60,-
000. Some believe that the disaster
was due to gas in the hold,' while
others attribute it to an explosion
of- the donkey engine. The steamer
was cut loose from the wharf and
drifted two miles. Everything com
bustible was destroyed and 'the iron
hull broke in to amidships.
LATER - FURTHER PARTICULARS
The boat's cargo consisted of mis
cellaneous freight, among which were
several hundred barrels of oil, includ
ing silty of gasoline: The oil be
coming ignited, the flames spread
with such frightful rapidity that
there were no chances of saving the
vessel, nor any one on board, even if
not killed ; by the explosidn. The
forward portion of the decks and .a
great part of the starboard side
were thrown out, and there is no
doubt that all in the hold or near
the forward hatch, were instantly
drilled. I
The four Men•who - were drowned
forthed four-fifths of the gang stow
ing cotton in the aft hold. As soon
as this gang , heard the explosion,
they with a boy assisting them,
made for starboard port, and plung
ed into the river. Just then a large
hatch slid off the deck- and fell upon
them, disabling them
, - so -badly that
they never rose Again. The fifth
saved himself by swimming j back to
the wharf, while the boy succeeded
in getting on the floating : wreck and
was rescued.
THE CAUSE or THE EXPLOSION',
as yet, is a mystery. The officers
say that the only fire on board was
under the boiler, which runs the
hoisting engine, and the- engineer
remained at his post and was unhurt.
The hold had been opened nearly
two hours when the explosion occur
red. So the theories of a boiler or
confined gas explosion, are done
away with.. The fireman was in the
main boiler cleaning it and had a
light. This was the only light known
to be aboird..
Gross Folly.
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., Dec. 26.
Last night John McClelland went
to his house;and in order to muse
his wife and children fired off a lot of
shooting crackers. Not satisfied with
this, he procured a pound of powder
and put it into three ale bottles,
and
fastened them up tightly. After he
bad inserted a fase into each bottle
he attempted to fire them off in his
yard. He was asuccessfiti in ,this
attempt, and taking the bottles into
the house set them upon a table at
which his wife and a little girl named
Berry were sitting. Mrs.
.Mpelel.
land wished to fire. off a shooting
cracker, and in order to get a light
removed the chimney from a coal oil
lamp which stood on the table. The
cracker went off and caused the lamp
to explode.- The burning oil was
communicated to thepowder in the
bottles, scattering glass all -over the
room.. Tire oil . set fire,tO the house
and to the clothing °Lair. and Mrs.
McClelland and Miss B rry. Mr.
McClelland succeeded in extinguish.
.ing the tire, not, however, until he
'had been severely burned. His wife
as aldo dangerously burned about
the head and faCe, her clothing being
burned from her body. Miss Berry
was probably fatally injured by glass
striking her.in the side. . She also
received tielieral other cuts and
burns.
After zany- Days.
WASHINGTON, Dec.` 26.—Colonel '
Riley, of Virginia, will receive by
the wily of Colonel Preston of ,Eng
land, recently deceased, a- legacy of
$25,000. Colonel Riley was ap
pointed by, General Grant United
States Coneub to Zanzibar, and upon
the steamer on-'which. he crossed the
Atlantic en route to his post he made
the acquaintanee of Colonel Preston,
of the British army, and his son, a
little curly-headed boy 'of about six ,
years, whose bright and winning
ways made him the 'pet of all on
board. One day the little fellow fell
overboard, and Colonel Riley, who
was an expert swimmer, sprang over
board and held the child up until a
boat-could be lowered away, when
both were rescued and safely re
turned on board ship, Colonel Pres
ton was deeply moved, and assured
the-gallant- rescurer that he should
never forget the noble act. In the
lapse of time the incident had almost
passed out of Colonel Riley's men3- - t
ory, until reminded by, notice of 'the
legacy how deep an impression it had
made upon the father's gratitude.

Mills on the Bell's' Gap Ra lroad,
was f o und dead in bed by he`r hus

arrived, Who at once brought him to
this city and placed him in the city

the county jail. It is supposed the
death blow was inflicted during a

S. Supremo Court.
WASHINGTON, December 27.—1 t is
pretty well settled that a committee
of the American Bar Association
will at a meeting in New. - York in
February, adopt a p'an for the relief
of the United States Supreme Court,
which contemplates the establish
ment of another Court, to consist of
fifteen Judges. A member of the
committee says that' this action will
be taken in deference to the wishOi
of the Supreme Court. The Judges
of the Court are unalterably opposed
to a plan looking to a sub-division
of the present Bench. They think
the latter plan will not give relief,
and that it 'would not enable the
Court, even though it trebled its ca
pacity for work,: to hear the eases
promptly, to.say nothing of relieving
the docket of the accumulated cases.
The Judges think the plan would
lower the-dignity, standing and infiu-
mice of the Court, to divide it up foi
the sake of getting more Work out Of
it. They are unwilling to sacrifice
any of the dignity belonging to the
Court. They, probably, will recom
mend to Congress the passage-of an
act providing for the creation of an
additional Colin, which shall hear
and have jurisdiction over most of
the cases that now go to the Supreme
Court. All the higher and most im
portant cases, such as -involve con
structions of the Constitution, will
be reserved for the Supreme Court.
