The Somerset Herald. ZDTTaKD 8CULL, Editor and Proprietor. WEDKESDAT ..MARCH , Is there no balm in Gilead for the disappointed office seekers? It isn't "irhatll you take" any longer. It is what do you hope to get? Blessed are they who expect nothine, for verily they shall not be disappointed. Democratic politicians now ad mit that Cleveland don't "turn out" as well as they expected. Thousands of Democrats are now like the immortal Micauber, 'wait ing for something to turn up." The Delaware Legislature has elected Attorney General Gray as Mr. Bayard's successor in the U. S. Senate. Democratic Statesmen are now dead sure that Cleveland was elect ed President, and not themselves, in November last. Nellie Grant - (Mus. Sartoris) arrived from England on Friday last, to be with her father during bis probably fatal illness. A bill to extend the minimum school term to six months, was de feated in the House last week by a ; vote of i)4 nays to 76 yeas. The aspirants who purchased new spring suits for the inaugura-' tion, are now shivering in the win try breeze at Washington. Mr. Cleveland has six lawyers and one newspaper man in his cab inet, the latter being Mr. Manning, Secretary of the Treasury. Kestcckt got an appointment last week, but Sam Randall and not Bourbons "to the manner bom," picked out the lucky fellow. So far as heard Irom, a great many Democrats who expected to get something from this Administration have "got left," and nothing else. . Wednesday last was the 4Sth an niversary of our President's birth, and it was a mighty cold day for the season, and the Republicans. Commissioner of Internal Rev enue Evans does not die with dig nity. He insists that he did not resign; but his head was chopped oirallthe samee. It was formerly the custom of Democrats to tauntingly call Penn sylvania the "State of Cameron." They are now cussing it as the 'State of Randall." What shall it profit a Democrat, if he has to 6tarve to death, while waiting until the commission of some rascally Republican, now hold ing office, expires ? Hon. Edward D. Clark, of Miss issippi, who had just been appoint ed Assistant Secretary of the In terior, died at Washington, of pneu monia, on Monday last A commission of civil service re formers has been appointed to over haul the Treasury books and ac counts. This is for the purpose of getting up an excuse for making removals. The faith cure does not appear to be a success with a large number of Democrats, who went to Washing ton brim full of that article, and found the walking home very cold and rough. It is said that Mr. Endicott, the new Secretary of War, confesses that he never made a campaign speech nor a political contribution. He was appointed to please the mugwumps. The women must have their in ninirs. and one of them whether married or single is not 6tated has presented Grover with a crazy quilt made of Cleveland and Hendricks campaign badges. The bill requiring that the knowl edge of the effects of distilled epir ita on the human svstem be taught in" our public schools, passed the House on second reading, last week by a vote of 1G0 yeas to nays. Malcolm Hay's appointment is creditable to the President, but genuine disappointment to the "heelers" throughout the State. One good, biz office largely detracts from the chances of fellows seeking little ones. The President has thus far "stood off" the crowd of office seekers very successfully. He is moving cau tiously and prudently, with a keen eye to his own and his party's fu ture success. Grover doee'nt want i to be a one-term man. . 'The general air of dejection worn by 2Le Democrats is heart-rending, and at hope of coming jollity is borne oa the icy breezes that blow from Washington. An average of oily one offieea day is the beggarly account from the banks of the Po tomac The Independents are fowling Hastily over 4he appointment by Sec retary Manning of one Higgins, a BaltdaMre manipulator of votes, with Jtn unsavory reputation, as Appointment .Clerk, .and are de manding his removal. These pn rists generally endorsed Cleveland's selection of Manning as Secretary, though they well knew, from his reo ord, that he would select just such men as Higgins for his subordi nates. What yer hollerin' about? . Another member of the Illinois Legislature died last week this time a Democrat thus leaving it once more a tie on joint ballot, and the Senatorial question is no nearer a solution than at the beginning of the session. The Republicans still steadily vote for General Logan. Tennessee got two good, big bites of official pie last week: H. C. At kins was appointed to be Commis sioner of Indian Affairs, and James D.Porter to be Assistant Secretary of State. Both gentlemen have records for ability and worth, and both were officers in the rebel army. The English announce that they have again whipped the Arabs be fore Suakim. It ts to be remarked, however, that the Mahdi's forces Btlll present a bold front, and ap parently do not know that they have been whipped. All reports of these battles come exclusively from English Bources. The appointment of Malcolm Hay, Esq., of Pittsburg, as First Assistant Postmaster General, is a very creditable one to the Presi dent, but it is as gall and woimwood to the short-haired democrats of that city who have ran the party ma chine, which Mr. Hay was too dain ty and too honest to touch. The President on Monday the 23rd, sent to the Senate for confir mation the names of Edward J. Phelps, of Vermont, as Minister to England, ex-Gov. Robert McLane, of Maryland, to be Minister to France, Hon. George II. Pendleton, of Ohio, to be Minister to Germany and Henry B. Jackfion, of Georgia, to be Minister to Mexico. After a protracted wrestle, the Democrats of the Arkansas Legis lature, on Friday last, elected Jas. H. Berry to succeed Secretary Gar land in the U. S. Senate. The new Senator was, of course a soldier in the rebel army, where he lost a leg. He has been a member of the Legis lature, a Judge and Goyernor of his State, and is said to be a man of large ability. The Civil Service Reform Associ- tion is after Appointment Clerk Higgins with a sharp stick. They plainly tell Mr. Cleveland that this first appointee of Secretary Man ning is not a man of honor or pos sessed of personal integrity. Now let us hear from Mr. Manning, whether honor and honesty are con sidered essentials under this Reform Administration. Cleveland is reported to have said to a horde of hungry and thirsty office seekers a few days since : "I don't see anything between you and the offices except the law aud my promise to see it executed." Dumb and horror-stricken they filed from his presence, with thoughts too pain ful for utterance, but the surround ing atmosphere was blue as they left the portalB of the White House. It is said that Dan Manning ad vertised that any Democrat in the country who did not want an office, could learn something to his advan tage by applying to him. One lone ly hoosier from Indiana replied to the advertisement, and was told there was a mint of money to be coined, by putting his photographs on sale, as curiosity to see such an unique specimen, would bring him countless purchasers. A most energetic effort was made by the .Bourbons of Kentucky to have the notorious Phil Thompson, of that State, appointed Commis sioner of Internal Revenue, but they failed to capture the plumb, and the President has bestowed it on Joseph S. Miller, of West Vir ginia, who was formerly Auditor of the State. Kentucky is a certain', West Virginia a doubtful Demo cratic State. Hence the milk in the cocoanut The Supreme Court of Iowa gave the dealers in liquors a black eye last week, by a decision maintaining the constitutionality of the prohi bition law as it stands. The ques tion came up on application for in junction to abate a salcon as a nui sance. The writ was issued and appeal was taken to the Supreme Court. The court holds that as the Legislature had the constitutional power to enact the law, and as the law defines the saloon as a nuisance there can be no denial of the right of action. The largest cattle ranch in Amer ica under one management is that of Captain Richard King, of Texas. It has 800,000 acres fenced, and nearly 200,000 head of cattle, horses, and sheep. It has been eagerly sought after by English, French, and Dutch capitalists, but the United States Land and Investment . Com pany cf New York have just pur chased it for & G,500,000. The com pany anticipate an annual income from this source of $1,500,000, calcu lating that the increase of rattle is S5 per cent A. wholesale weeding oiit of the " superfluous " clerks in the departr meets at Washington, it is announc ed, will soon take place. This is the old dodge to create vacancies, which in a few months will be filled by partisans of the Administration. Why not manfully and truthfully say at once, Republicans have .no claims on this Administration, tjd we want those positions for OB7 veiendg. Nobody can be blinded by the tbxc " weeding out " pretext, and as a rule the .public despises a sneak thief policy. The woods around the Tunr Church, on the Antietam battlefield, Maryland, says the Baltimore Sun have been cut down aud the trees sawed into lumber. Mr. Cornelius , Smith had the contract for the saw-1 ing of this timber, and he Bays it was dangerous work. The saw was broken by striking into a fragment of shell. In another tree it cat through an iron grape-shot, leaving a polished surface to the missile. Many leaden bullets, which offered but little obstruction, were revealed. During the course of. the summer over two pounds of shell and canis ter and PS much more of leaden bul lets, were taken out of the lumber. For some yean past the bare of a number of counties in the State have been getting up a species of local legal unions, to prevent attor neys of other portions of the Com monwealth from practicing their profession, within their limits. A sensible bill is now before the Leg islature, which proposes to "knock out" this hedging in process, and permit every attorney who has been admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court to practice before any court in the State. We hope to see it be come a law. "A workman is known by his chips." Fair play and an open field for competition should be guaranteed the artisan, the profes sional man and the laborer alike. The Lancaster Inquirer scores a point against the Independent jour nalists of this State who are com plaining that in the inaugural pro cession Fitz Hugh Lee was cheered to the echo along the line of march, while General Beaver, a maimed Union soldier, elicted no applause, by recalling the fact that two years since, these same journalists treated General Beaver with less respect than did the throng at Washington, and assisted to procure his defeat for Governor, and the election in his stead of a man who is in full sympathy with the crowd that cheer ed the rebel General on inaugu tion day. Secretary Manning, a couple of days after he became head of the Treasury Department, discharged half a dozen special agents, and Private Secretary Lamont discharged three or four clerks in the Vinte House, and immediately the Dem ocratic press went into spasms of delight over this great evidence of retrenchment and reform. That these removals were made with an eye single to this howl of retrench ment, must be evident to every man of thought. Neither of these secre taries had been in office long enough to ascertain its wants or its duties, and could not, within that time, have learned what number of clerks were necessary to perform the work. This sudden rush at retrenchment was merely for effects sake. Before the year is over all these places will be filled with new men of fast dem ocratic color, warranted not to fade. Making Haste Slowly. One thing begins to be pretty well understood as respects the new Ad ministration, and that is that neith er the President nor his Secretaries are annouueing their intentions, touching patronage, beforehand. The Washington dispatches make rather pleasant reading, but so lar as they pretend to prefigure any ac tion on the part of the powers that be. they are of no sort of account whatever. The unterrified who ex pected to see great basketfuls of heads carted away on the 5th of March have settled down to the con genial business of sucking their thumbs. They do not understand it now, but they will get an idea of the herculean task set before the President as time passes. This making haste slowly need not deceive anybody who does not want to be deceived. The service cannot be revolutionized in a day, because it is impossible to bring pub lic business to a dead halt even for a day. There is a certain amount of routine which cannot be grasped in a week, and as the Secretaries are quite as new to their positions as the President himself, they are not tak ing risk to accommodate place-hunters. But it may be 'assumed that there is no man in place who is in dispensable, and that nobody is more fully aware of this than the quiet gentlemen who form the Pres ident's political family. They can wait The place-hunters must wait There are certain formalities to be observed, you know ; but remember the new regime knows exactly what is to be done, and will crrry out its policy in its own chosen way. It will not scruple to run over a few men if the case demands it. Cleveland's Surprise. Washington, March IS. Among the nominations Bent to the Senate to-day was that of Milton J. Dur ham, of Kentucky, to succeed Wil liam Lawrence, of Ohio, as first Comptroller of the Treasury; Mal colm Hay, of Pennsylvania, First Assistant Postmaster General; and Martin . Montgomery, of Mich igan, to be Commissioner of Pat ents. Martin Van Buren Montgomery is a lawyer of good standing and large practice in the city of Lansing, Michigan, and has had some little practice before the United States Patent Office in this city. He is said to be a man of integrity and worth, and is about forty-are years of age. Malcolm Hay is a prominent law yer, of Pittsburg, Pa., and is forty one year of age. He was born in Philadelphia, studied ' law under Chief J ustice Beasly. of New Jersey, j i j . , ana was aamiuea to om dst in Pittsburg, in 1864. He has now a large and lucrative practice in that city, end is described as a man of the highest standing in the com munity. Ht. tf.Aj was a member of the last Constitutional Conven tion of Pennsylvania, and lot a nastber of years has been promi nently iientified with the Demo cratic party in (his State, having been a delegate to ike last three Democratic National Conventions, and Chairman of the Committe on Resolutions in f h Convention of last year. Mr. C. N. Boyd the Druggist, who is always looking after the interest of his customers, has now secured Ite sale of Dr. Bosanko's Cough and Lung Syrup, a remedy that never fails to cure Coughs.

The new broom doe? not sweep rapidly enough for the throng of office seeking patriots who raided Washington about three weeks ago. Disappointed spoilsmen shake the dust of the city from their weary feet, and sadly turn their dejected- noses towards their distant homes, The discoinforture ot the place hun ter gives some relief to the Cabinet officers who have been under hot sieere since the fourth ot March. Even the Postmaster General has had a DerceDtible respite from callers dur ing the past few days. The. appli cations for postmasteiships, howev er, do not fall off. They rather in crease. In the office of the clerk to the first Assistant Postmaster Gener al, with an extra detail of assistants, it is difficult to keep up with the work of briefing and filing applica tions. . President Cleveland evidently pre fers for office the quiet men who kept comparatively in the back ground. Those who have advertis ed their merits with delegations, have been left out every time. The last list of nominations sent to the Senate created more surprise and more disappointment than any ap pointments yet made. The names which had hgurea on tne states were all absent from the list This fact has operated very discouragingly upon those who have been devoting every day and every houjr to their claims. Among the most important nomi nations were Mr. Hay, or ttttsburg, to be First Assistant Postmaster Gen eral. Mr. Montgomery of Michigan to be Commissioner of Patents, and Ex-Representative Durham 'of Ken tucky, for First Comptroller of the Currency. The defeat of Phil. Thompson for Commissioner of In ternal Revenue, by Mr. Miller of W. Va- was a surprise to many; and a real shock to his friends, who had strenuously urged him for the place. They say they will not suggest his name tor any other place now since his ability and claims are not ap preciated by the new powers. The acting Commissioner of Pat ents. Mr. D yenfortb, did not hesitate to express surprise at the nomina tion of his successor, since he claim ed that th'e Commissionership had been offered to himself b both the President and Secretary Lamar. Through the dilatonness of the Patent examiners, the oince is shamefully in arrears, and Mr. Dyrenforth recently began re form by requiring night work in the offices that are behind with the busi- pess of the department This will now be kept up until tne woric is brought up to date, which, from the present energy displayed, will be in about three months. This fact will be gratifying to inventors whose patience has been severelj tried by the delays in the issuance ot their patents. Wednesday was President Cleve land's forty-eighth birthday, and he varied his daily programme by tak ing a two hours drive with Col. La mont, behind a pair of ex-President Arthur's horses. The retiring Presi dent kept ten horses of his own at the Executive Btables, all of which he left for the use of Mr. Cleveland until the latter should make provis ion. Mr. Arthur has called socially on President Cleveland during the week and attended his official recep tion. Since his retirement from of fice he has been the guest of ex-Secretary Freylinghuysen, and a recip ient of constant attention from so ciety people without regard to party. President Cleveland win give an en tertainment in his honor next week Secretary Whitney has begun an in vestigation of theavy department, and Secretary Endicott proposes to turn things over in the War depart ment He has requested the Adju tant General of the Army to furnish him with a complete list of all the officers on duty in Washington. He asked what duty each one is author ized by law, and the exact time each has been on duty here. The Higgins appointment has proved to be very embarrasing to the administration. Besides the odorous scandals that accompanied his appointment, one charge is that hestufied the ballot box in mayoral ty contest of 1875 ; another is that he imported voters into Hamard county in 1879, and another is that he is actively engaged as a lobbyist at Annapolis. A certain Southern Senator says that Higgins owes ft to his party to resign, but a Baltimorean who knows the Higgins'es remarked that though they may die they nev er resign. The Baltimore Civil Ser vice Reform Association is expected to come here to-day and petition Sec retary Manning to remove Higgins. If he does not consent, they will probably appeal directly to Presi dent Cleveland. Awarded $.YOOO. Williamsport, March 19. The case of John Cole vs. Frederick Dor man ended to-day in a verdict awarding Cole $5,000 damages for Injuries received at Dorman's hands last August Dorman is the propri etor of a grocery store. Cole is an industrious 6tone mason. On the occasion when he received the injuries for which damages have been awarded he entered the store of Dorman, and in a dispute about an old bill the latter assaulted him. Cole was struck over the left eye, his whiskers pulled out by the roots, and other injuries were inflicted that incapacitated him permanently for work at his trade. Dorman as serted that Cole was disabled previ ously to this -fracas, and said that the action was an endeavor to extort money from him. Dorman was re cently released from jail for a local offense. He is a well-known man and is astounded at the result of the case. It is the heaviest verdict for personal damages ever awarded in the local courts. Ex-President Hayes Ba-faabarsed.

Y., March 19.Alex- ander Giroux, a shoemaker, who has lived in Fulton and vicinity for twenty -five years, is of French-Cana- J : : x i i dian origin and has always borne a good reputatation. For several Weeks, there haying been a rumor that his son, who was reported to have been lost last fall, might havf been murdered. District Attorney Mead, of Oswego county, has bee: a investigating the case. What , ma y have given color to this theory wa 3 the sudden sale of Giroux 's hous e and lot in Lower Oswego Falls, ari as reported, his departure to Canada . It was also said that'he had durinf ; last year caused a small insurance to be taken on the life of his son . Mr. Giroux said to a Herald cor respondent this morning that be had at last succeeded in finding his lost boy. His method was to visit a town, get the rolls of the district schools, and see if his son's name ' might be found. After visiting near-j ly all the villages in Madison and ' Oneida counties he was rewarded a. day or two eince by finding the boy. who 18 living with Mr Lewis, at a. place which the father preferred not to name. The boy was kidnapped! he says, by an Indian doctress, who came from Canada, and who broke? into his house and took what money he had at the time. This womain, he said was to be arrested to-daw and brought before a justice on thestf charges. The insurance story came; from the fact that an agent of a co- operative company induced the son to insure, but he never paid more) than a few shillings. Giroux has never feared for the safety of his boy The story that the child when laeft seen was going to the woods wkhi him was not true. Giroux feels quite indignant that his old neighbors- should give credence to the startling rumors which have been circula ted. Two Serious Accidents, Altoona, March 19.

The Sentinel has to-night come into possession of facts ' which indicate that the Racine wagon and Carriage Company has within the past year been defrauded of between 82U,(XAJ and 30,000 by W. H. Spaulding, the bead bookkeeper of the msitution. About the middle of February Spaulding disappeared la company with Mamie Mintonton, a disreputa ble woman of this city with whom he had been intimate. They went to new Orleans,- then to New York, and from there to Buf falo. Here Spaulding procured tickets for himself and companion to an out of the way point in Canada but she gave him the slip and re turned here to-day. He if supposed to have gone to Canada. Spaulding left' a wife and two children nearly destitute at Racine. His manner of 'operation is not known, the proprietors of the works being very reticent Chicago detec tives have been hunting for Spauld ing several weeks. Epidemic Among: Hogs. Petersburg, Va.

Lancaster, March 19.- Frederick j Nixdorf, of this city died a horrible I death at the Lancaster County Prison at 4:45 this morning from injuries in I a- -i i . :jiu TU- lU flicted about midnight The wretch ed man who is of good family aud was once quite prosperous, had be come a i've to strong drink, and on Monday thiajreeklie was com mitted to prison "for five days for drunkenness. About ten o'clock last night Watchman B. Frank Barr dis covered Nixdorf in the act of cut ting his throat, as best he could, with a spaea. - -He was restrained from doing violence to himself, and seem ed to have given up his suicidal in tention. But about midnight he was attacked with another paroxysm, having been suffering from delirium tremens, and Officer Barr reached the cell just in time to see completed one of the most horrible acts on rec ord. Every cell is provided with a kerosene bottle, and Nixdorf had broken one of these bottles, and driving the ragged or jagged edge in to his stomach as far a he could, had torn himself completely open, until his bowels protruded, and his hands clutched his entrails and were tearing them out when he was discovered. The prison physician was sent for, and, assisted by Dr. Slusser, did all that it was possible to do under the circumstances, but the man died this moraine. After the inquest a sister took charge cf the remains. Deceased had a wife and six chil dren, but his family were compelled to leave him several weeks ago on account of his dissipation and conse quent inability to care for or sup port them. A Cruel Murder. Mt. Sterling, Ky., March 19. iienry u atson, a white man, is a special policeman employed here by the railway comnanv to watch coal trains and prevent thefts from them which . have been chiefly made by negroes. Coal trains shake out small bits of coal along the track, howev er, this is called slack and which honest poor people pick up. John Johnson, a colored boy 15 years old, at about dusk evening be- iore last, was going into the yard oi the cottage where he lived with a bag of slack coal which he had gleaned during the afternoou, when Watson seized him and started off to jail with him. Old Johnson, the boy s father, came out and begged to be permitted to follow the boy to jail, and started to do so. When he was within fifteen feet of Watson the latter turned and shot old John son through the heart Watson was seized and jailed quickly to prevent lynching, as Johnson was well known and kighly esteemed. The negro boy was released. Watson's conduct is considered that of a mur derer. interesting Itevsnne .Decision.

For several years past a gang of dar ing robbers has existed in the vicin ity of Darbyville, on the Florida (Antral Railroad, twenty-five miles from here. They have committed numerous depredations upon the merchants of Darbyville, Sanderson and adjacent towns, and have hith erto carried off large quantities of merchandise and other valuables in the most mysterious manner, baf fling all efforts at detection. Henry Wilson (colored) the leader of the robbers, lived near Darbyville, and about a year ago the band rifled the largest store in that place, owned by C. B. McCleary & Co. Detectives were set to work and traced the rob bery to the gang beaded by Wilson, but before they could be arrested they escaped. . By some means the band procur ed keys to fit the locks on the Flor ida Central Railway cars, and one or two of the gang would secrete themselves in the freight cars, end when the train was in motion they would open the door, tnd at some point agreed upon with their confed erates, throw out of the car such quantities of goods as they could se crete. In this manner they have succeeded in securing many thous and dollars' worth within the last six months. The railroad company however, through its officers, haa at length succeeded in capturiug two of the members of the gang, includ ir.g nilson. lne others lour in number made their escape.
