TOR AUDITOR-GENERAL:
JOEN A. LEMON,
BUif County.
All the States have elected their
delegates to Chicago except Louis
iana and Colorado. The Erst will
elect 1C and the second C delegates
TnE Ebeneburg Freeman la author
ized to say that LTon. John Reilly
will not be a candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination for Congress in
th is district this year.
Bob Burpette doesn't claim to
be much of a politician, but he in
sists that the Democratic party in
Iowa is like a gong. The harder it
is beaten the more noise it makes.
On Wednesday last Senator Came
ron introduced in tee Senate and had
passed, a bill appropriating $2:,000
fne hnttrtinrr a TJBW DOBtoffice in Mil-
.s, O
ton, which was lately destroyed by
Ere.
Let the Chicago Convention result
as it may, General Grant's friends
have nothing to reproach themselves
with. They stand solid for the nom
inee. Principles not men is their
motto.
Now that Illinois has instructed
her forty -two delegates for General
Grant,his opponents confess that their
only hope of defeating his nomina
tion entirely depends on a split in the
New York and Pennsylvania dele
gations. To accomplish this, tbey
will stop at nothing.
Ex-Coverxor IIexey S. Foote.cI
Mississippi, Superintendent of the
Mint at New Orleans, died- on
Wednesday last in the SOth year of
his age. lie was one of the few
former Southern politicians of note
who lingered on the stage, almost
unknown to the present generation.
The Washington Star says that
Don Cameron and ex-Postmaster
General Cress well have carefully gone
over the list of delegates elected and
to be chosen to the Chicago Conven
tion, end agree in every instance.
Their footing is that Grant will have
410 votes on the first ballot, or 31
more than enough to nominate him.
Senator Blaine is still in New York.
Since the Illinois Convention h as
decided for General Grant, and in
structed its delegates by a large ma
jority to vote for him, the anti-G rant
journals have discovered that "this
action was natural and in accordance
with well established party usage,"
and they quote the fact that Mr.
Blaine's State-Maine instructed for
him, Ohio for Sherman, Vermont for
Edmunds, and even Minnesota for
Mr Windom and why shouldn't Illin
ois instruct for her favorite so n,
General Grant? Why not, truly?
But this natural conclusion only made
way through the hair of these gentle
men, after they had 6truck hands and
done their level best and failed to
defeat Grant in bis own State. So
no thanks for their late born magna
nimity. After a canvass for the Presidential
nomination unrivalled by energy and
attention to minate detail, the friends
of Mr. Blaine have apparently failed.
Asa political organiser and skillful
manipulator of party machinery, Mr.
Blaine is unsurpassed, and to tbe con
duct of bis own canvass was brought
all his admitted skill. It was his
misfortune, however, that his "fool
friends" in many instances assumed to
be wiser than their great leader, and
disregarding his conciliatory 4methods
and wiser tactics, adopted a course
that tended to embitter opposi Hon to
bim as well as to alienate a great
many voters who felt very friendly to
Lis cause. Ilimself a leader of lead
ers, be contrived to enlist in his be
half all the discontented element that
antagonized General Grant in 1872,
and followed the fortunes of Horace
Greeley to defeat Added to.this was
his large personal popularity, and tbe
eclat of a brilliant and successful
career in both nouses of Congress,
ud if with these elements of success
he could have prevented the active or
angry hostility of other leaders in the
party to which end his Erst plans
were evidently addressed he would
almost certainly have commanded
success. But local jealousies and pet
ty spites, desire for noteriety, or the
hope of avenging fancied sJights.'and
feeding fat ancient grudges against
prominent politicians in their several
States, induced numbers of his friends
to break away from bis lead, reject
his counsels and use Lis powerful
name as a weapon with which to over
throw their personal or imaginary
foes. Teas in New York, Pennsyl
vania, Ohio, Illinois and other Slates,
the methods of their local politicians
engendered a spirit of antagonism
against him which had no existence
at the cemmeicement of the canvass,
and has made it plain as day, that if
Mr. Blaine faHs of a Domination at
Chicago, which just now looks like a
foregone conclusion,his lack of success
is easily traced to professed friends,
who looking to the accomplishment
of their own selfish purposes more
than to his success, used his name as
.a spell to conjure with.
The persistent declarations that
Senator Blaine was a strong man in
Illinois bts been exploded by the
logic of facts. Io the Springfield
Convention two test votes showed
General Grant to be ia a majority of
101 delegates, leaving out Cook coun
ty, and in that county be had a
majority of three thousand on the
popular vote over Air. iiaine.
If tbe little malignant who helps
edit the Commercial, and ia so dread
fully worried over the salary paid
the Collector for this district, desired
to know the truth, he could by refer
ence to tbe report of the Secretary of
the Treasury or the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue ascertain that no
Collector in the United States receives
a salary exceeding $1,500 and from
that sum they are graded down to
$2,000, based on the amounts collect
ed. Having thus proved himself an
ass, or worse, when be asserted that
$5,000 wss paid in this district, he
can by tbe same public report ascer
tain the precise sum paid every em
ployee in the district from the Collec
tor down, and lay it before the read
ers of the Commercial, who may not
perhaps feel as much interested in
the business of other people as be is.
Previous to the decision of the 111
inois State Convention, the most
careful calculation that could be made,
ciunting no vote about which thcro
appeared to be the slightest un
certainty, gave General Grant 293
votes already elected to the National
Convention. Add to these the 42
votes from Illinois and 20 from Ala
bama, since elected and instructed
for him, and his vote now stands
355, being only 24 short of a uiejori
ty of the convention. With this
number of votes certainly for him,
the 16 votes of Louisiana may be
reasonably counted on, thus leaving
him but 8 votes short. As there are
31 delegates elected from various
States who are without instructions
or expressed preference, and as in the
ranks of the Edmunds, Washburne,
Windom, Snerman and Blaine dele
gates there are many who incline to
General Grant, or of whom he is the
second choice, no unsettled event can
be much more certain than that,
General Grant will be tbe nominee of
the Republican partv for President
of the United States.
TnERE has seldom been a State
nominating convention of any party
that has attracted as much attention
as that held last week by the Re
publicans of Illinois. This is due to
the fact that tbe State is the home of
General G'ant, and that those hostile
to bis nomination felt that if they
could defeat him there they could
prevent his nomination. So far from
defeating his nomination however,
the result ebows that all calculations
to that effect were premature, and
that bis friends were in a large ma
jority in the convention.
That thev used their' power mod
erately is shown by the fact that with
over a hundred majority in the con'
vention, they settled the contest from
Cook county by admitting fifty-six
anti-Grant members to thirty-six of
bis friends, although the opposition
openly declared in advance, if they
could control the convention they
would exclude all the Grant dele
gates. Being in a large majority in
the convention, the friends of Gener
al Grant made a solid delegation for
him and instructed them to vote for
him as a unit Although this is
nothing more than his enemies would
have done bad they obtained control,
they are now largely engaged in
beating gongs and howling over the
result That the course of the
friends of General Grant is only in
accordance with party precedent in
the State, is shown by the Chicago
Inler-Ocean which points to the fact
that in 187C the Springfield conven
Uon appointed a committee of one
from each Congressioanal district to
name the delegates to the Cincinnati
convention, and by quoting the fol
lowine resolution adopted by the
Springfield convention in 1872.
Rrtolved. That the people of the United SUtet
owe U. 8. Orent s great debt or gratitude lor his
patriotic devotion to the interest! ol the people in
war ana in peace ; mat we nave unauawu aouu
denee in his Integrity, patriotism, ability, pru
dence, and good judgment, and hereby instruct
our delegates to the Philadelphia convention to
tote for and use all honorable means to secure his
anoiination as the Republican candidate for the
Presidency ot the Lniiea & laics.
As osaal it makes a largo differ
ence as to whose ox is gored. The
majority on the resolution declaring
General Grant the choice of the con
vention for President was 78, and
the majority on the resolution to have
the cLair appoint a committee to ee
lect delegates to Chicago wan 49.
The victory of the friends of Gen
Grant in tbe Illinois convention is
held by many journals of the country
as virtually settling the canvass for
the Presideniial nomination. Tuus
the New York Herald which has en
ergetically opposed bim says :
The great victory of Springfield
will go for a great deal more than
the number of delegates gained. It
would be too much to expect that
Blaine or Sherman will acknowledge
that their chances are extinguished ;
but their followers will not be slow
to see it, and after a little time (or re
flection, many of them will reeognUe
the futility of trying to ride a dead
horse. We have no longer any doubt
that Oetxral Grant will be trium
phantly nomi&aied at Chicago on the
first ballot, because, ts soon as his
nomination is eeen to be iu?itable,
there will be a rush to tbe victorious
side.
The PhiiaaaeJnhia Xeics concludes
a review of the Bvtl.ion in Illinois
as follows :
Assuming, therefore, that hs ias
moral force of the convention and
the majority st its delegates, and
he will go into the cation al conven
tion with enough votes u cominate
him. With his cause jadiclosaly
managed ia tbe national convention,'
it will be Impossible to beat hjm.
Such ia the present outlook ; and as
the present week will witness the
holding of all the State conventions j
but one, it 'will settle all questions, I
S) far as tbey can be settled, prior toj
the national convention. A strong;
contest has been made ia the intercut
of otter candidates, aad Grant's homo
State has been invaded in the hope
of breaking his prestige and defeat
ing him. But, at tbe present, bitter
ness seera9 to be dying away, and
the prospect is that whoever is nomi
nated at Chicago will receive tbe un
divided support of the party. And
we think tbe selection will be Gen.
Gratt.
Tns Philadelphia Ricord another
Independent Journal advocating the
nomination cf Bayard of Delaware
says :
The pronou.'.ced success ot Hon.
Grant in the Illinois Convention
yesterday assures his nomination at
Chicago. It has been all along con
ceded that this was the turning point
of his canvass for the candidacy. The
strenuous effort to defeat him in his
own State recognized the impor
tance of the result at Spriagfield.
a the race for tbe nomination Gen.
Grant is now on tbe home 6tretcb,
with a handsome lead.
While the Pittsburg Commercial
views it as practically deciding tbe
result Savs that Journal .
After a prolonged and intensely
exciting sessionfcthe Republican Con
vention of Illinois decided to send a
solid Grant delegation to Chicago.
Tbe unit rule ws adhered to, and a
resolution was passed declaring Gen.
Grant the choice cf Illinois for the
Presidency and instructing the del
egates to Chicago to ca3t the entire
vote of the state for him. Ths action
practically decides the nomination, as
the friends of the ex-President count
on a decided majority on the first
Fallot.
The New York limes says that
'no political event can be much moro
certain than that General Grant will
be the nominee cf the Republican
party for President of tho United
States."
It looks as if General Coffroth is
into hot water with his party friends
relative to the appointment of Census
Enumerators. The Altoona Call boun
ces him as follows.
If General CoQVoth's aDpointmenta
of Census Enumerators in the rest of
his district are no better than his
appointments in Altoona, it is a ques
tion whether this may not prove to
be a mill-stoDe around the General's
neck next fall. Mike Fitzharris La9
been boasting all along that he and
the syndicate gang had the appoint
ments of Census Enumerators. Tbe
appointments are now the proof of
bis assertion. I ally one for Mike.
Who is S. L. Potter, the Census Enu
merator ? is a question more frequent
ly asked than answered. He is a
brother-in-law of D. A. Gilland, so
we are informed and was appointed
over tto bead or timer iupler at
David's suggestion. Tho countryman
who came to Altoona to see Mike
Fitzharris and Senator Dively before
daylight in tbe morning to have him
appoint bim Census Enumerator was
no fool after all. as they evidently
made tbe appointments in the coun
try. If half the people can be believed
who say Congressman Coffrotb prom
ised them tbe appointment of Census
Enumerator for their respective dis
tricts, the General has proven him
self to be the biggest liar since Baron
Munchausen's time.
Tildes Sang-nlne.
New York, May 20. Mr. John
G. Priest, secretary of the National
Democratic Committee, called upon
Mr. S. J. Tilden to-day and had quite
a conference with that gentleman
At the Fifth-avenue Hotel this even
ing Mr. Priest said the stories as to
Mr. Tilden's ill-health were nonsensi
cal, and the reports that be would
not be a candidate before the Chicago
convention were ridiculous and ab
surd. He found Mr. Tilden in a
talkative mood and in excellent hu
mor, and was assured by the Gram
ercv Park Statesman that he had
not felt better for years. Mr. Priest
says Mr. Tilden is not only a candi
date for tbe nominatioj of president
but is sanguine of being the nominee
of tbe pnrty, and that he "will take
no electoreal commissionjin bis" after
this. Mr. Priest is equally sanguine,
and says that liiden is tbe strongest
candidate wbo can possibly be named
by tbe Cincinnati convention, being
even stronger than Hancock or Bay
ard. William Mchlenney, chairman
of the Ohio Democratic State Com
mittee, was at the Fifth avenue to
day and said that Tilden would re
ceive tbe support of a majoriry of
the Ohio delegation to tbe Cincinnati
convention, though Thnrman would,
as a matter of courteoy, receive tbe
complimentary vote of the delegation
Alabama For Vrant.
Selma, May 21 The Republican
state convention passed by 1 13 to 39
tbe following resolutions:

Republicans of Alabama, for Presi
dent of tbe United States, is the il
lustrious soldier, patriot and states
man, U. S. Grant; that the delegates

vention are hereby instructed and sol
emnly pledged to cast tbe whole vote
ot tbe state in that convention for IT.

Jlesolced. That all those who

to the Chicago convention shall give
a pledge to abide by tbe foregoing
resolution, and in tbe event of their

The Democratic ongres has at
last decided to adjurn May 31sty at
,'ea t the House pat cf it baa so de
creed. What ttre .i p will do in
tie matter in noi. a ,in, but it ia
generally believed as ihey arc blow
workers that they cjunotget through
in ten working davj
ua Saturday wan the adjourn
ment resolution as put through
with a rush it wal amusing to see
toe ncpublicans asist Kaodall to
choke off the democats in their wild
schemes to plunder the government,
and now when the thing is over as
far as tbe House is pneerned some of
the democrats are oeuioar their eyes
and have discovere that this great
tieiorm Congress bve really done
nothing for the coutry except as a
Ungadier remarBed,"pas3ed the pen
sion bill" to make a good showing
witn tne soldier te nortn. Had
tbey to act over aia no doubt tbe
pension bill would, be indefinitely
postponed till somcotber work was
put through.
Speaking cf the adjournment ia
the House: !
Mr. Tucker, of "Vrginia, said that
he had opposed the esolutioa in com
mittee and in the Ibase. He meant
no disrespect to his colleagues when
be said that, in bisjodgment, in the
face of a calendar o 1,200 or 1,500
bills.ia the face ot the tariff bill re.
ported to the House Congress would
oe wanuug in us me uuty to tne
country if it should kdjourn ia twelve
business days. Applause on tbe
Democratic side.) There was not
time in twelve davs for Congress te
attend intelligently to its duties.
Why should we go home ? he said.
Are wo afraid to prform the duties
wbicn toe people ;em us bere to
perform ? If we ae afraid to meet
the issue before thecountry by decid
in; one way or theother, why should
we bold on to our seats, and why
should we not akogate them and
return to the peopl. the trust which
we will not perforn. I have oppos
ed this resolution n committee and
here with tbe dea conviction that
Congress will be (kelict in its duty
if it adjourns wihout performing
what is required oat
Mr. Cook, of Gergia. "We asked
for bread and you give us a stone."
(Applause on Kepnlican side.)
Mr. Tucker. Ve have reported
three tariff bills, ani tbe question of
consideration is bfore tbe House,
and as soon as we 'enort those three
bills for considerate we move that
the House adjourn without consider
ation. (Applause! on the Democrat
ic side, and "Tha's the doctrine,"
from lownsbend. It may be said
that I have some private war claims
that I wish to ga through. I say,
No; 1 know of ncwar claims that J
am in favor of on the House calen
dar. The people f tbe South do not
desire the war Jaims before this
House to be paid ly the Government
The claims I am peaking of are as
just as those of tb bondholder. Tbe
question in, whetbr, when the Gov
ernment owe a m.n $500, we should
adjourn without Dying it, and say
that we have save! tbe credit of ths
Government becaise we have paid
the bondholders. (Applause on the
Democratic side.)
Mr. Stevenson, i Illinois, declared
his opposition to the resolution for
the reason advaned by the gentle
man from Yirgioa, (Mr. Tucker,)
and for the furtler reason that it
was indispensable that Congress, be'
fore it adjourned, should pass a law
providing for th oanner of counting
the electoral vols. Some of the mem
bers now preseit had been in their
seats four years igo, and knew of the
difficulty which as net with in es
tabliBhing a tribtnal for the purpose
of settling that laBgcrous question,
He insisted that n the light of histo
ry, and with the experience the coun
try bad undergot four years ago, it
would be unwise for Congress to ad
journ without firs: settling tbe man
ner in which th Presidential vote
should be counted. He made this
appeal to the Uoise in no partisan
spirit, but in tbe . interest or peace
and in the in tenet of a peaceable
succession of the Presidency, which
was of far greater importance than
the triumph of my political party.
lie appealed to sentlcmea not to ad
journ until on thi statute book shall
have been placed a law stating by
whom tbe Preideitial vote should be
counted and what votes would be
counted, and settle the peace and
harmony of the cmntry.
Mr. Weaver, ol Iowa, thought that
tbere was no need of such baste in
adjourning. Tbere were about 1,200
bills pending wbi:h should be passed
before Congress adjourned. There
were a number cf pending eases be
fore the Committee on Elections
that could not bt considered at all,
and tbe will of the people would be
defeated, lie understood the reason
why the resolution was forced upon
the House. Ths tariff-bills were
pressing for consideration, removing
the duty from the poor roan's salt
Ibe removal of the duty upon paper
and printing material was demanded
universally throughout tbe country
The Funding bill was pending a
menace to the industries of the
country. It was well known that if
it came to a voto the bill , would be
defeated and killed. That was well
understood, but it was just as wel
understood that if it could be passed
over until after the Presidential elec
tion it would pass, and would fasten
tbe debt perpetually on American in
dustries. These were the reasons for
this adjournment Again tbe right of
petition had beoo denied the American
people during ttis session. The Big
natures of over C00.000 soldiers, were
in tbe committes rooms, asking that
Congress should be just to tbem and
equalize their pay, but Congress had
no disposition to regard their peti
tions. He solemnly protestedagainst
an adjournment until Congress did
justice to the men who had saved tie
flag that adorned the Speaker's chair,
Iben tbere was tbe thirdTterm reaolu
tion which ths House would defeat if
it could obtain a vote upon it Tbe
House would declare it as a Bettled
principle of the American people that
the unwritten law declared that no
person should hold the Presidential
chair more than twice. (Applause
on the Democratic side.)
Mr. Aiken, of South Carolina, said
that the geutlemen from Virginia
(Mr. Tucker) had created the impres
sion that those who voted against
the resolution were opposed to the
tariff bills. This be denied, and de
clared that the whole South Carolina
delegation would be found voting in
favor of those bills, if tbey ever came
fcp for consideration.
' Mr. ToensSfini. of Illinois. Bald
that be bad nothing to say to the'lie
pubilcan members, lie would Hot
make his appeal to them. fDerislve
laughter and expressions of regret on
tne republican side. I Ue would ad
dress himself to those who represent
ed Democratic connetiluents, and he
would say to tbem that If this feso-
lotion was passed It tnsaat that the!
labor of tbe entire session was gone
for oaug&t It would demonstrate
to the country that, notwithstanding
the tabors of committees ia maturing
legislation, as soon as the work was
placed on tho calendar Congress
would turn its back upon it and cow-
erdiy go. ilo bad a day or two ago
presented a-petuiou tleiuandiug a re
lief from ir.e oppressive Pali tax He
bad been farced toend thrm 1 brougb
the petition box, uud bad not bcea
allowed to present the grievuuees of
the people in open Houce. The is
sue could not be shunned or evaded.
A.vote in favor of the resolution
meant that there would be no action
on any measure except tbe appropri
ation bills.
Mr. Hooker, of Mississioni. oodos-
ed the resolution. He contended
that Congress should not adjourn un
til it had passed some law relation
to the counting of the electoral vote.
If it did so, it would run the risk ot
unsettling all business industries,
wbich had baon so imDerilod when
the election of 1876 had agitated the
country.
Mr. Dunnel. of Minnesota, stated
that had be been present in the Com
mittee on Ways and Means when
the pending resolution had been con
sidered, be would have voted against
it. He was unwilling to vote for an
adjournment in the presence of the
amount of business whic h should be
attended to. He could not ro back
to his constituents, ' and justify his
vote in favor of adjournment when.
in his judgment, there were import
ant measures pending which should
receive the sanction of Congress.
The River and Harbor Bill, for one,
would be defeated.
Mr. O'Neill, of Pennsylvania. The
River and Harbor Bill will bo taken
op and passed on Monday.
nr. luauel wished to see whether
the House had not the courage, pa
triotism and fidelity to meet any and
every measure which was presented
to it for ita consideration.
Mr. Garfield, of Ohio. suDDOrted
the resolution. One point made by
the opponents of the resolution struck
him with a i?reat deal of force, that
was tbe importance of eettlinar some
law relating to he counting of tho
Presidential vote. If the trentlemen
on the other side, be said, will set
any day or week or month we can
pats a law to save and avoid contro
versy on thatquestion, I will stay far
beyond the dog-days to help do it.
Ssaveral Democrats. We will d
it
Mr. Garfield. Bat you have had
four years since the awful imminent
danger arising from that question.
which threatened this conntrv, and
you have waited until this last ses
sion, and the last six weeks of the
Eession, and all at once it is an im
portant topic. "Summer is past, aad
tbe harvest ended, and that soul is
not saved," and there is no hope that
it can be saved by this Congress. I
know there are 1.700 bills pending.
and I am sure . that many of them
ought to become laws. Every argu
ment used to-day can be used next
September with exactly the same
force and effect. This Congress has'
been here six months, and we are out
staying the welcome of the American
people.
Mr. McMillan, of Iowa. Speak
for youreelf.
Mr. Garfield. I speak for myself
and everybody that tbinka as I do.
Tbe 3d of June next, the Presiden
tial cyclone strikes the people, and in
the course of a tew weeks it will in
volve both political parties and 45.
000,000 of people ; and if we stay in
side the scope cf that cyclone we
will convert this body into a vast de
bating club, and I would not give
one day's legislation now for two
months of such legislation as that
period would bring upon thecountry.
I wish to ask the gentlemen if tbey
are willing to stay here in that cy
clone and part it, and convert this
whole body in the presence of the
whole country, into two political
camps, making political speeches.
Mr. Stevenson, of Illinois, called
attention to the fact that the Com
mittee on Electoral Commission had
reported a bill regulating the count
ing ot tbe vote, and tbat that bill
was now on the calendar.
Mr. O'Connor, of South Carolina,
said that he had voted for tbe resolu
tion deliberately, and he had the
courage to adhere to his. vote. An
unwarrantable assault had been
made on those gentlemen on his side
who had the courage to vote for tbe
resolution. They had been charged
with a direlection of duty, and they
had been told that their votes involv
ed an opposition to tariff reform. Let
bim say to those gentlemen that
South Carolina had been tbe first
State ia tbe Union to fling to tbe
breeze tbe motto of anti-tariff. South
Carolina to-day, as in 1832, i'b pl deJ
bravely to tbe overthrow of the in
iquitous tariff. Tbe Committee on
Ways and Means had been in session
si i months and had waited until this
late date to report a bill, and when
they did report a bill, they confessed
to the country that they could not
pass it, bnt that they wanted to make
a record. (Applause ) There should
be a little more statesmanship ia this
body, and statesmanship consists ia
attaining practical results. If the
Democratic party confessed that they
could not pass a bill for the reform of
the tariff at this session, let it say bo,
go to tbe country, and bring back to
this chamber another Congress,
which would at once not at tbe
eleventh hour, but at the first hour,
the second hour, and the third hour
keep up the agitation until it had ac
complished its great object He be
lieved it to be for the interest of his
party and for the interest of the
country tbat Congress ebould ad
journ. Mr. Sparks, of Illinois closed the
debate. He proposed that Congress
should adjourn if bis vote could help
it It was said tbat those who voted
to adjourn now were not in favor of
a low tariff. He had always suppos
ed that he came as near being a free
trader on tbat subject s it was pos
sible to make a man who had reason
able sense. (Laughter.) He was
for his colleague's (Mr. Townshend's)
salt proposition, and for any other
gentleman's proposition to reform tbe
tariff on paper, and if he were told of
any other article on which the tariff
could be reduced he would vote for it
now and forever. But be wanted to
aljourn the concern. (Laughte .)
He bad tried all be could to pass all
the bills that affected an efficient
proper tariff reform. He could not
do more than he bad done, and now
he wanted to adjourn. His colleague
(Mr. StevenBOo) had said tbat tbe
Electoral Count Bill ought to be disr
posed of. Well, said Mr. Sparks, we
have the Senate and House both,
and I don't know but that we are
aboat we ar? as safe as the other
fellows ' are. Wo have tbem both
now ; we did hot have them then.
Why have not all these measures
been brought in and pressed ? When
are you going to do all this work ?
After being here nearly seven months
I known that the , people wani us go
home, i know that tbere ere one or
two hundred milHoas of job.- lying

A Wife Mnoota Her Iluabsad.
Wheeling, W. Ya, May 20
YeBterday afternoon at five o'clock a
domestic tragedy took place at a fain
house two miles back of Pawbattan,
O., which caused considerable excite
ment ia that usaally quiet neighbor
hood. Warren Robinson, the victim,
and bis wife, Eliza Jane Robinson,
the murderer, have bee a. living to
gether for tbe past few years very
unhappilythe result of jealousy on
the part of tbe husband, who accus
ed bis wife of bestowing ter favorB
too freely on neighboring farmers.
Mrs. Robinson always resented these
charges, claiming tbat they were
without foundation in fact, nnd fre
quently vowiag tbat if he didn't desist
from making them tbe would kill him.
Yesterday'alternooo, as she was seat
ed in the bouse, her husband came
ia and asked for tho axe. She replied
that she did not know where it was.
A dispute then arose, when Robin
son caught his wifo by tbe bair and
was beating her ia the face, when the
children interfered and succeeded in
pulling bim out of the house. Robin
son made an attempt to get back ia
to the house, and Mrs. Robinson,
smarting under the blows given her.
was endeavoring to get away from
ber children, who were holdiag ber
back, to open tbe door. Robinson
soon succeeded in effecting an en
trance to the house, and bad hardly
Btepped across the threshold when
Mrs. Robinson, breaking away from
ber children, pulled a revolver from
her bosom and fired at bim, tbe ball
taking effect in Robineon'd breast
above tbe heart, death resulting in
five minutes from internal homorrhage
Mrs. Robinson was arrested and com
milted to the county jail at St Clairs
ville to answer for the crime.
Ex-Sceretary FUb'a Views.
Washington, May IS Congress
man Levi P. Morton of New York
has just received the following letter
from ex-Secretary Hamilton Fish,
dated Glen Clyfie, N. Y.. May 17,
188Q.
Dear Sir Mr. Morton: Your
letter reaches me . here. You are
quite right as to my views of Gear
eral Grant's strength and popularity.
Mr. has correctly reported me
as having constantly expressed my
confidence in his nomination and bis
strength as a candidate. I have no
doubt of his being able to draw a
large class of voters whom no other
Republican candidate could attract
I do not think that my judgment ia
this regard ia at all affected by my
very strong personal attachment to
the general, nor by my intimate
knowledge of his character or my
appreciation of his efficient capaci
ties. I am,
Very sincerely yours.

Emlexton, P.v , May 23 Agaia
has Eden burg been swept by tbe fire
fiend, this time to the extent of sev
enty buildi&g. embracing atoacethe
heart of the town and the business
bouses therein The particulars of
this, Edenburg's third terrible confla
gration, are as follows : Tbe alarm
was sounded at nine o'clock last
night, occieioocd by flames issuing
from tbe windows of tbe United
Statra Hotel, an unoccupied building,
situated on the corner of tbe Eden
burg, Shippeusville and Clarion Rail
road track and Raliroad street. Tbe
fire was without doubt tbe work of
an incendiary. Tbe populacu of the
lowa were at the time taking in a
circus performance and were ignorant
of the tato of the t'owa for many val
uable minutes This the circus peo
ple are responsible for, as tbey tried
to quiet the excitement by announcing
the alarm to be false. It was not
long, however, until the light from tbe
i,!ene slnne through the canvas and
the stampede issued. Ihe excited
audience did not stand on ceremony,
but went out, under, through and
over the canvas. By this time three
buildiogs were wrapped in flames, and
before a drop cf water was thrown
or a building razed some twenty
building were inakiog a miguificent
display. From Railroad to Main
street ton conflagration rolled ou aad
wrapped ia heated folds everything
of aa inflammable nature that stood
iu its way. From Main street to
Pen a avenue and down the latter
tbrougbfare to the railroad it swept,
and it swept clean" than a naw
b oom. Well, to tu -ke this terrible
story short, seventy buildings went
down, and tbe u.:'ortunate people
are now standing uround gazing at
their incine-ated omea. The time
consumed wa3 two hours and a ball,
and tbe total loss at a low estimate,
is about $100,000. Among the prin
cipal business houses burned are the
postoffice, Clarion County Bank,
United I'ipd Line offices, Brown's
Block, United States Hotel, etc
Little or no insurance was held ia the
town, insurance companies having de
clined to take risks since tbe town
wan swept ou a previous occasion.

tion ia that paper of aa extract of a
letter from Kex. B Larrsnee, a well
known American missionary at
Oroomiab, North Persia, where
the famine chiefly prevails. Tbe ex
tract says : Grain sells at eleven timas
the ordinary rates. Rice has risen
enormously, and tbe people are living
largiv on scaaty roots. Kobbenes
are becoming alarmingly frequent.
Keporta from Kurdistan are equally
distressing. From this city (Oroom
