The Somerset Herald. KlVARI HTl-I Kdiior uud Pro-.rietor ,-yr-' WEDNESDAY.. June IS, W. Oi.evfxanh's liaik down was the wont cotriiik'tr, and the most humiliating of anytiiincon nsnrJ. He didn't know the ol J thing wm loaded. The weather and the Grand Aruiy have made Wanhin-rtou too hot for the President, and he will take to the woods ainiin as hood as he can arran-re for the trip. Nw would !e a very appro-inn.- time f,r Col.M'lurettro out his much nwil melaplt.-r of fonlinj; with a biiiz Haw. Iouhtlehf President Cleveland would ajv jirciale it. Adjutant General I'mm's "pleasant duty " of sortinp and returning the rebel flap was suddenly nipped in the bud, and he doubt less feels as if he had been HijueK hed by a pile-driver. A call haa lieen issued for a Prohibi tion State Convention to meet at Har ricburgon Vednelay, Aupist 24th for the purpose of nominating candi-liites for Supreme Judpe and State Treasurer. Every candidate on the Peiiiocratie State ticket in Kentucky was in the rebel Herviee. It is Ixt-ause of jxilitical indica tions of this kind, that the President or dered the surrender of the rebel flats. While the coffee and the wheat " cor ners" were tumbling to pie-es last week, the veterans busted the corner in rebel flajrs. Smashing three corners to smith ereens, was a pretty good week's work. Wasn't that a resounding volley the Grand Army veterans "loured into the late Mr. Cleveland? For the first time in his life he heard the crack of the Union guns, and he immediately took to cover. The corner in w heat, engineered by the gamblers in Chicago, burst last week, and the drop that followed ruined a score or luore of the speculators, and the low est figure 0! nts,) was reached since lS'l'.! when wheat sold for sixty-two cents. The total loss to the speculators is esti mated at ?S.0,(0. The President has made up a leautiful record to present to the old soldiers in the next campaign, as an indm-ement for their support. His vetoes of private pen sion bills, ami the Dependent jiension bill, with his order to return the reliel flags, have an odor alxnit them that will nauseate the stomachs of every veteran Holdier in the land. A heavy pressure is being brought up on the Oovernor to induce him to ap- joint Judge Williams of Tioga county to the vacancy on the Supreme Bench, caus ed by the death of Chief Justice Mercur. There is no necessity for this appoint ment being made now, and it will look like an attempt to forestall the action of the State Convention should one le made prior to the election. (toversor 11' AVEif has concluded the job of examining Mid pissing uioii the bills enai U-d by the late Iegislature. He haslNvn coin-ieU-d to Use his veto axe pretty Jilierally.and has stricken of! about f J,(HVHX from the appropriation bills, in order tliat the SUitesexjunditures should not ctm'd its revenues. Ihis tie was eointielltil to do because of the failure of the general revenue bill to Ijecomea law Crio Toluver one of the worst desper adoes in the State of Kentucky, who for years has been a fugitive from Justice, hunted by lioth the civil and military powers of the State, has been elected Judge of the Court of Rowan county, be cause the people were afraid to vote against him. What a beautiful commen tary on the boasted courage and pure le niocrscy of the citizens of that Common wealth ! Some time since, a strong party of sjec ulators undertook to comer " the coffee prodni't of the world. They got control of the market, put up the price, .and made profit otr every breakfast table in the land. Last week the "corner" broke with its own weight, atid of course broke the gamblers w ho had managed it. Noth ing has given uioreg"nenil satisfaction of late than the financial ruin that has over taken the gamblers in w heat and coffee. After protracted wrestle with the long anl short haul clause of the Inter State Commerce bill, the Commissioners sagely announce that each railroad must judge for itself and act accordingly, and the shipjH-r who feels that he has been gouged or overcharged has his remedy by puit, or by appeal to the commission. The business man who didn't know that he is entitled to maintain his rights by an action at law is an ass, and the Com missioners who assumed that he didn't know he possessed this right are asses. Thank you for nothing, gentlemen ! The how lers for an extra session having failed to bully the Governor into adopt ing their views, are now announcing that one is to be called in the fall, oral tout the 1st of January next, after the Revenue Commission, authorized by the last Leg islature, has had time to formulate a bill. They are trying to let themselves down, as easy as possible, by the further asser tion that the tiovernor fears the loss of the State unless he complies with their demand, all of which is mighty amusing to the general pnblic that well nnder stands, the old veteran don't ware worth a cent. Nkver since the firing ujsm Sumpter, has there been sti profound a sensation cn-ated throughout the couutry as there was stirreil up by the Pi.-sideut's onler to return the rebel battle flags to the Southern States. The storm burst with all the fury of a cyclone. From North, East and West came a perfect hurricane of indignation, sweeping away all party barriers, and burling itself upon the White House with a thunderous sound. History record n similar popular pro test against a Presidential order. Mr. Cleveland knows now, the people's sen' timcnts regarding the war for the Union, and be quailed before their patriotic in dignation. He backed down, rescinded his order, and ungraciously and utigraw fully announced that be had concluded tlial Congress alone bad the power to di- rrft the final dis'iosition of tliese em-IiU-ins of victory and of a victorious cause. The volt of the ieople lias lieen heard ud oleyel, and " All's well that t-nds well." IIisToBV retionls no greater political 3 .hinder, than 31 r. Cleveland s order to restore the relx-l flags to their former reb- 1 owners. No one bad asked for it, and the sili tical trick to further cater to the old rebel element of the SouUi, and to keep it solid in his interests, stands ex posetl in its nakeo: detoruiity. it proves tha; the President entertains no senti incut in common w ith the soldiers of tlie Union, whose Chief Magistrate be ia, and that to Liui these mute evidences of vic- lories over reliels w ho attended to de stroy the Union, teach no lesson of pat riotism, call up no heart throlw of admi ration for duty well and nobly done on many a bloody battle-field. These tro phies of victories in a sacred cause, these mementoes of heroic deeds and patriotic sacri.lces, counted as nothing w ith the xld scheming politician, who plotted only as to how licst to rivet more closely the tii that txiuriti to his personal for tunes' the solid lVmoeratic South. The thunderous protest coining up from all over ttie North, from soldiers of all polit ical creeds, from patriots everywhere, sud denly opened the Presidents eyes to his error, and he quailed liefore the storm ami inglorionsly backed down. The blunder was colossal, indefensible, stupid and unparalleled, and it strips Mr. Cleve land of every claim to the support of the loyal people of the North and places him in his true light as a sympathizer w ith the " lost cause." The famous flag order will go down in history as' the political crime of the age, while its recision w ill ever hereafter le pointed, to as evident of the' people's might when aroused to anger. A iuitaxt Gen eral Drtm is to W made the seaiegoat for the President's stupid blunder in ordering the surrender of the rebel flags, and the Administrations effort to disclaim the resxnsibility is absurd and laughter provoking. Drum mislead the President : Drum deceived the Presi dent: Drum misunderstood the Pn-si-dent : Drum w rote the first letter suggest ing the surrender : Irum is a conceited ass, and Drum is a Republican, came hustling fat and furious from the apolo gists and defenders of the President, And yet, there was the law, of which the President now pleads ignorance., which says the flags are to be kept in " some publie place," and there was the Presi dent who is Commander in Chief: and Socretaiyof War Endicott: and there are the "Articles of War" governing and lim iting the powers of such officers, and yet it is attempted to shoulder the responsi bility on a sulordinate. The hot haste of the Administration and its political friends to saddle the responsibility on Drum, has only involved it in a labyrinth of contradictions and added a sentiment of contempt to the first outbreak of con suming anger. And it it was true mat, Drum is a Republican : paltry as is the excuse, it plain's the Administration in a still less enviable light, as the weak vic tim, the jienny w histle, played upon by a political adversary. Uut the truth is. Drum is a scion of an old Jacksonian iK-miHTat of Greensburg, nurtured in the faith of his fathers and doubtless a IJour Ikiu of -Bourbons. However, let us ac cept Drum as a vicarious sacrifice for the President's political sin. He is a broad shouldered, rotund little old fellow, se cure of his jmsition, and as a scapegoat caiable of carrying a heavy load. Here after, w hen the veterans of the Grand Army hear a Drum beat in the wilder ness, they will smile grimly over the rec ollection of the President's sudden back down, and his amusing and hasty selec tion of a scapegoat. The Flurry Over .he Flags. In a general way it may lie said ili.it if the flag1 were to be preserved HI all they should stay where the close of the war found them. In the hands of the War lio"Kirtiiicnt they represent accomplished facts the Mippres sioti of the rctiellioii and the truth of history, ami no sensible Southerner who has the tniui Ii.mkI to fiee a t.lain fact should be at nil afraid to sue them in the national cu-lody. i The talk atstut not preserving memorials of the civil war is unspeakable nonsense.

This statemeuit broiiLTht Mayor Coui ie nuy of Charleston S. C. to his f.vt, and . he said it reminded him of a story. About the time the Mugwump first sprung into existence an J-.ngiisli lorit was visiting this country and devoted much attention to the study of our institutions and manners. The constant use- of the term " Mupwunip" hirii'g the political compaiim attracted hi notice, so one day lie made ttoi.l to a-U what iIk wonl "Mugwump" meant. -Republican who votes the I lem.K'ratie ticket," was the reply.

At a m.vting of the Emigrant Commissioners of this city to-day the question of -it-rmitting the landing ol aliout nineteen immigrants from Ireland who came here on the steamer City of Chester came up. The immigrants had lieeu sent here by the ltritish (jovenunent, which paid their passages. Their aduiission was object ed to on tlu? ground th:U they were paupers and likely to become public charges. There was read at the meeting a copy of a letter sent to Secretary llavardbv Minister West in April lat. In it the Hrilish Minister asked bet her js-rsons whost; paaaes were paid -willy or wholly by the Itritish Government would be js-Tinitted to land. Secretary Uay- anl in reply cited the laws in reference to pauper emigrants, ami said that in such cas es as those mentioned ny .Minister west, suspicion would be excited and they would not lie urtiiiited to land unless it was clearly shown that they were not likely to become public charges. The Commissioner finally decided to jiermit the landing of three wo men and one man and their families, num bering in all twenty-one. All the others, who are now .ieUiine Ion Ward's Island were ordered to lie taken back by the Iiiman Steamship Company. It is lielieved the steam-hip company will contest the case in the I'uited Slates Courts. Moving- the Bridges. Joiixstowk, l'u., June IS. Master ( arpen ter W. M. M.

The veterans of the Union army residing in Ohio have lieen suddenly aroused by the recent order of the War Dejiartmeiit directing the return of cap tured reU-1 flags to the Governors of the late so-called Confederate States. The Ohio veterans have been very much shocked by the acts of the present reform Administra tion, but nothing has occurred that has so thoroughly aroused their indignation as the outrageous order to return relie.1 flags that cost so many lives and so much blood to gain. The indignation is not confined to the soldiers, hut is denounced on all sides by Iienim-rats and Republicans. During the day telegrams have been pouring in tiisin Gov. Koraker, urging him to make au em phatic protest against the promulgation of the onler, and esjiecially against the return of flags captured by Ohio troops. A large number of rebel thigs are in the relicnmin of the State House, ami it will require some thing more than the tinier of the present Secretary of War to take them away.

He coiillnued : "How can the present loyal Governors of the Southern States ac cept emblems of treason after their profes sion of loyalty to the Piiion ? Must they nt reluni them to the Secretary, and say that they have nothing to do with the flags, as the reliel organixHtions are extent and their Governors are dead ?" Gen.

A hold attempt at mbbcry and a desperare fight with a farmer's household by masked robliers who, in their desperation, fatally shot one man, startled the whole county to-day. ' This morning at half-past 7 three masked men went to the residence of Peter Hnwn, In Juniata township, aUmt six miles from Huntingdon, and demanded from Kate Hush, Hip aged housekeeper, Mr. Hawn, money. llawn is an old bachelor and is considered the riehnd. firmer in the township, being the owner of twelve farms. Miss Hush ami Mrs. George, Auker were the only erso!is in the house when the rob liers came, and they stoutly denied that there was any money in the house, hut with oaths the robbers asserted there was, and at once commenced a search, ransacking bureaus and table drawers all over the house. Christian Stipple, a farm hand, at work in the barn, heard the rocket and entered the house. He picked up a large-shovel and was about to strike one of the robbers, when an other tif the men came down-stairs, pointed his revolver at Stipple and shot twice, but Isith shots fortunately missed their mark. George Auker, the adopted son of Hawn, was working in a field near by, and hearing the shots secured his rifle.

(iinmer C. C. Jones this morning rendered his verdict on the body of Mrs. Nancy Be-all, who was murder ed liumdny evening. The verdict is that de ceased came to her death by two pistol shot wounds, which are described. The Sumner's finding continues: "I further find that while it seems almost ini"MissibIe to conceive that one so young, and eecial!y a son, could inmiinit such an atrocious crime, yet the evidence presented to me and the ciivunistancts surrounding the case are so strong, that I fivl warranti-d in fixing the crime on John A. Beall." The verdict seems to meet with the general approval of the publie. Johnny Beall, who is thus found guily of the murder of his mother, is but 12 years old. It is lielieved the boy will confess, and stunt; startling events may follow, as without doubt the crime was instigated by some older beads. Ducked By Regulators. Fli shino, X. Y., June VJ.
