Si eariso of the bill for the re

L.tevOrrin remarks :
Tbeee eoatbtrn gentlemen see
nothing objecinmabie in at-kiog Con

come forward with endlens proposi
tions, involving the outlay cf hun
dreds cf millions, and do not wrni to
understand tbat Federal interference
ia one direction carries with it inter
ference in any other direction. Tbey
importune Congress to appropriate
moneys to improve tbe south, and
they deny tbat Congress can provide
for tbe peaceable collection cf tbe na
tional revenues in tbe south. Tbey
ask Congress to endow a college, 6nd
making a law probititing tbe exer
cise of Federal power to suppreea il
licit distilling in tbe interest of Fed
eral incotco. Tbey want tbe doors
of the Treasury Bung wide at tbeir
approach, but tbey growl like ft dog
with a sore head when ai-ked to pay
their proportion of the Federal in
come. These things do not run well
together. Tbey are not exactly con
sistent. Rather, fbey are entirely
consistent with southern jpethods
The motto at tbe south Is de-maud
everything ; concede nothing. Aod
the people are beginning to under
stand it. Tbey are likely to under
stand it by-and by. Meantime, Re

reject such entering wedges as tbat

We beg our Democratic friends not
to embarrars themselves with false

tbepremicx-s of tbe Republican party
fr wbicb thef hare a fancy, by all
means let them take it. rar be it
from us to remonstrate at tbe appro
priation cf our property, or to think
it unreasonable if tbe crop wnica we
planted and tilled, and protected with
great trouble from tbe attempts of
tbe Democracy to pull it up by tbe
roots, is claimed I y ibis same De

nered. The pouotry is gettiog ued
to this sort of thing : and though we
cannot go so far as to prevud tbat
we uke it, the time has passed vjben
it could cause us any surprise.
just now a branch of tbe Eastern
Democrats are laboriously arguing
that Art brought bout the resump
tion of specie psvments, ia spite of
the persistent efforts of the Uepuli
can party to perpetuate suspension
Secretary Sherman, say tbey, has al
ways opposed resumption : the Fed-
fa
vored an inflated and irredeeu&ble
currency j ibe Radicals in Congress
have been distinguished by tbeir op
position to bard iaom?y j nothing has
saved tbe country but tee steadfast
need and common-sense of an loneet
and united I)mocracv. "Now tbat
"the Republicans are beginning to
"fall out over resumption," savs one
organ oLbe opposition, "perhaps the
"Democrats mjy come by tbeir own."
We hope tbey may ; but at present
the things that tbey seem pioei aox
ious t cvuie by are ours. Jn tbe 1,
Louis platform of 18T6 tbey denouac
ed tbe wspmotion clause of tbe Act of
1875 asa hindrance to resumption
and demanded Us repeal ; and to
this profession of financial ijuh thev
remained tolerably faithful up fo the
1st of January, 1879, when resump
tion was duly accomplished aeeord
ing to tbe terus of tbe Aet. They
have net condescended to explain tbe
apparent jiwopsistcocy cf claiming
tbe credit of aa n:b;evement which
they bare done tbeir beqt to prevent;
tbey only bid u pet out or tbeir vay
and remember that it is tbeir proces

tbat be bad sworn falsely before the

I was induced to leave my borne

and interview Democratic members
of the Committee and confidential

At interviews with tbe agents (gen

to effer tbe hope of reward and Tor

convinced they would prove pliint

I iben reported to Maddux and the

affile; t form the evidence each waa
expected to gije before ,tbe Potter
Committee. I carru4 tfcefe affidavits
from Maddui'i to n etier. Jttfae
davits were read to witnesses and
tbey were promised, Duncan 160,
Armistead $80, and Steward $S0 for
such testimony. Weber coached wit

tbe tcsdwony expected, anJ te fur-ni-led
Stenger with questions to be
propounded witnesses sod I be an?

I carried such Hsu from Weber to

Dula refuted tbe offer. He recfined

Dola tbat Jje could not absolutely

evider.ee which be agreed to give be
testined differently, and exposed tbe
whole plan, bow he had been efftred
a brbe by Weber, aod that I' waa in
tbe room when f eber made tbe pro
posal. At tie instigation ct Gibson
1 went opon the stand to' contradict
Dula'B atatement. B fore testifying, j To return to the presidential sab
Gibson asked me if I would deuy tbe ject, there is not at present any Pifm-
lestinionv of uaia. 1 repueu mat
Dula told s pretty straight Etory, aud j apparently unanimous support of bis
I feared tbe cros-examinatiou if:partv, and tbe question before the
Cox. He then asked Weber wbere
the money was that waa to be given
Dula as Boon as his testimony was
completed (provided ho had testified
as desired). Weber took tbe money j
out of his pocket, $450, wrapped up
ia white paper who DuU'a name on
it. Gibson took the package and
gave it to me. I gave my testimony
before tbe Committee. Afterwards I
returned the money to Weber. Dur
ing tbe entire session of the Commit
tee in this city, Maddux, Gibson and
Carter, were busy influencing wit
nesses by tbe uso and offers of mon
ey, and tbe Chairman of the Commit
tee bad full knowledge of this fact.
Maddoi repeatedly told me that
Gibson was Tilden's outside agent,
and he could secure all tbe money
desired from Col. W. T. Pelton. cf

would testify that I bad seen tbe

further, that I bad witnessed bim
(Weber) destroy it. 1 told hiin I
could not and would not. Wtber
told me most positively that no eucb
document as the Sherman letter had
ever been seen bv him. and he bad
no belief in its ixis ence. Weber
told me on his return from Wa-hiog-ton
that he was approached by
G. W. Carter and A. M. Gibson and
oflvred $10,000 if te would give cer

said, bad it not been for this sum tbe
testimony would have been favorable
to the Republicans and to Secretary
Sherman. In addition to the money
reward, $10,000, Weber told me
Carter end Gibson guaranteed the al
logcd defalcation of Weber as Treas

be released from all annoyance on

Since Congress bas leasiembled
there have been two deaths of tpern
bers, Mr. Hartridge. e.f Georgia, aod
Vr. Schleicher, of Texaf; making
four, all on the Democratic side, who
have died during tbe present session.
It has long been the custom of Con
gress to adjourn for a day 00 an
nouncement of tbe decease of a mem
ber, and, since tbe holidays, tbe time
of Congress has been almost entirely
taken up in adjournment.
Jn the absence of political news of
a legislative character, I will venture
to give some of the gossip current ia
political circles, relative to tbe next
presidency. Ir is remarkable that at
ibis early day there is almost as mucb
talk aod interest upa tbe surged as
if the country wt-re on tbe eve of a
preoidaatfal nornhation. The eligi
bility cf pussib'e candidates it erni
estly di-cged. Tbe names of Blaine.
Tburman, Cockling, Biyard, Sey
mour, Evtrts, Hendricks and Grant
are most prominent in these discus
sions. Bot, of all names on the Re
publican side, tbat of Qrant seems to
be cherished with most uainlamy.
Whatever may bo tbe L-e'io. ia thj
Rcpublicmparty at large, the ab.-ent
ex I'resideaJ stands first in tba hearts
of that compact, pjworfu.!. disciplined
orS'jizlion of professional politicians
that centres in the capital- Tbey be
lieve that bis returu to America will
ba hailed with t much enthusiasm
as was the return of tbe first Napo
leon from Elba, aud that tbe continu
ous ovation wbicb will carry bim
successfully to the leadership of bis
party, in tbe next presidential cam
paign, bids fair to rivl the triumph
ant procession of tbe great Emperor
from Fregus to Paris. Whether the
simile wjlj be completed by a Water
loo in November, 1880, remains to
be seen. Postmaster General D. M
Key is mentioned 'as a p foible candi
date for .Vice President, on tbe ticket
with Gen. Grant, aod it will not be
difficult to see tbat ibis ' ao ingen
ious combination.
Gen. Grant's visit to Ireland will
belijs farewell to Europe, for be re
turns home by m 0 tJJ. Pacific.
He leaves Great' Britain, It li said,
with tbe most agreeable impressions

beard tbe burglar eutertbe rear door

light a dark lantern and Gil a bag
with a lot of canned fruit and tttart
fjr the door. Murpby intercepted
him and a terrible struggle ensued.
Finally Murpby seivd an iron
wedge aud struck tbe burglar several
savage blow, fulling him' to the

aiid, having ci.oked Murphy into a
state ol Insensibility, escaped. An
hour later a man, giving the name of
James Ellis, applied at the police
station for medical attention, saying
he bd been waylaid and beaten by
robbers. Murphy regaining his con
sciousness, proceeded to tbe same
station bouse, where he 6a w Ellis,
and identified bim as tbe burglar.
Tbe latter admitted tbe fact, and said

Pottsvilms, Jan 13 Tbe situa
tion at tbe mines looks more alarm
ing now than It bas at any time since
the long strike c-f 1875. An uneasy
feeling is observable everywhere.
Tbe Reading Company's men threat
en to strike tor their wages, which
are two months in arrears. Some of
tbe miners employed by individual
operators jn tbe Sbamokin region are
out because of a proposed teduction
of wages, and it seemB tbat a strike
is threatened io the Luzerne region.
Tbe real cause, however, is to be
found fu tbe secret organiztion
known as the "Knights of Labor."
wbipb bare been trying for nearly a
year to foment disturbance, and it is
intimated cow tbat a general strike,
to involve be whole anthracite poal
field, is imminent. At tbe meeting
of miners held at Qirardsville on
Thursday n'gbt, it was resolved
"tbat it was necessary, for tbe pro
tection of those working in tbe an
thracite coal region, tbat thoy com
bine throughout tbe whole anthra
cite coal field, and act together for
mu'ual benefit," and also, "that the
band ct fellowship that has been ex
tended by tbe men of Luaeroe CJumy
be accepted, and that measures bi
takeu for intelligent co-operation,"
The officers of the Reading Com
pany expect to finish paying Novem
ber waes at tbe colliries bv text
Saturday, and will then immediately
begin paying December wages. It is
feared, however, that next wetk will
bring further trouble.

I noticeable, not only yesterday, but
this morning, the entire absence of

tbe appearance of tbe streets io the

double execution was a common
thing in Maucb Chunk. Tbere are
quite a number if people in town at

of the execution, to say nothing ol
exhibiting any feeling on the Hubject.
Tbis may be accounted for by tbe
fact ibat teii her Sharps tor M'Don

too. A number of persons gathered
in front of tbe jail at an early hour
tbis morning. Many of tbem had
passes to witness the execution and
were awaiting tbe opening if tbe

At half past Line o'clock tbe doors
were opened, aud tbe persons wbo
were lucky enough to have pttvt-es
went inside. Tbey occupied an

Among those present were tbe wife
and brother tf Sbarpe and three

" At 10:20 the Sheriff finished all bis

of tbe irisouers' cell to announce
