"Hanging jndicionaly applied," the Williamsport Sun and Banner thinks will tend,to check the alarm ing increase of insanity. A private letter,, received here on Monday by one of oar citizens from a member of the Cabinet, speaks confidently of the Presidents' re covery. Hon. Geo. V. Lawrence, of Wash ington county, has withdrawn his, candidacy for the nomination of State Treasurer. The principal rea son assigned is ill health.consequent upon - malarial fever contracted - a • Harrisburg during the heat of May and June before the adjotu4ment of the protracted session of the Legis lature. His must be a case of neg lected opportunities. He , should have made vigorous application of the bay rum, cologn and cosmetics, so bountifully supplied. for the use of Senators to the Senate barber shop according to the !bills , of sup plies given in detail by the Philadel phia Press. The declination of Senator Law rence, practically . leaves to Senator Davies a clear field, at the present time, for the nomination, and he is perfectly healthy. The charges contained in the ex posure of the alleged stealing by the State thieves about the ,Capitol at Harrisburg, by . the special 'corres pondent of the Philadelphia Press, are of too grave a character to be allowed to pass without judicial in vestigation. The charge that De laney, Senate Libarian, whose duty it is under the law of 1879 to certify to the correctness of bills for sup plies, and to see that the items comp within the specifications of the con tract, has certified to the delivery of. articles never delivered, and arti cles, such as bay rum, etc.; not 'ad missible, is of a. criminal Character,. and should be " 'prosecuted upon proof. The other charge, that he *colluded with Sam Adams- to secur; for Adams a contract for furnishing certain supplies, and then as a secret partner profited by the frauds con tained in the 'tills of items certified by him as Libarian, as being cor rect, is a yet graver charge. No officer, who is guilty of such-a crime against the State, should be allowed to escape the State prison. Harry Hahn, Chief Clerk of the House, against whom there are charges equally criminal preferred by the Press correspondent, has the reputa tion of being 'a State plunderer. The Press haVing entered upon a crusade against the State thieves, it beconies its duty to 'furnish the proofs to the Commonwealth's Attor ney at Harrisburg, who will be in duty bound by his oath to cox:a ny:neck nriminal preutaca;viaa Sam.

As the most alarming ; and dan gerous features of the President's case seem to have abated, and his physicians speak hoisefully of his recovery and restoration to health and usefulness, we omit the bulletins in detail from the Executive Man sion since our last issue', giving only those isitied on TuesdaY, which are the latest we have received. There has been a steady improvement in his condition since wit wit last issue, and the healing proem_ appears to be going on in a natural and healthy way. His physicians give almost positive assurance of his recovery. The latest bulletins are as follows: WesniNoT t oN, August 2d. The President's case is marked by steady and rapid progress. The height of the patient's pulse has attracted considerable attention, but the surgeons do not consider it an alarming symp tom.

Gar field's position on entering the White House was peculiarly delicate. She was confronted with the portrait. and .the constant• mention of her predeces sor, perpetuated there to point a spe cial moral lesson. She. had not been ambitious for the place. She was there because duty and affection called her to share her husband's high career. She was a tired woman; fresh froth the conntrY l horne she loves better than Washington. You remember her re mark when Abe news of the General's nomination at. Chicago reached 2 her: "I am inclined to be sorry. This breaks up our borne life." She wound up a brief, laborious session here with a course of : malarial typhus, fever. She returned from the place whither she went to, gather strengb, summoned at lightning speed to the bedside of a well-nigh murdered husband. Thee far her sojourn at the White House has been a most pathetic episode in a quiet woman's life, and borne with the stead• mesa of a heroine. All these things bring her very near to the heart of the average wife and mother, andlouch the profoundest gallantry and sympathy of noble-minded men. Henceforth she has her own unchallenged and, cense , crated place among the successors of Martha Washington.— Washington Let- I ter. ' Naw Yolut. - Anly 81.—The Tribune's Washington special says : Soon after the members of Garfield's Cabinet en. tered upon the tierformance of their du ties, the need of-reform in the methads of making appointments to office forc ed itielf non their : attention, as well as upon that of the 'resident..,aud the matter became a subject of. frequent Cabinet consultation. Since the shoot ing of the Piesident this subject has ni been lost sight of, but on the contra s the members of the Cabinet , have taken advantage of the partial cessation of importunities by office seekers and their friends. to study and discuss the prob lem before them. While nothing has been decided upon, certain plans are lcioked nixie' with considetable favcr, and it is probable that a sentiment in favor of some of them will take , form after the President becomes able tc consider and approve them, for all members of the Cabinet' now belies?. the President's life isle be spared. A plan regitrded with considerable avor is as follows l First—Provide by law that in all cases civil appointments Audi be distributed among the se4erallEltates and Territories and the District of Columbia in propor tion to the population, and require that' every appointee shall be a citizen or res ident of the State from which he is aPP 3 intcli • Second—Establish in - each. State a board of civil service examiners, who shall meet at stated times at the capital or some other central and• convenient place. for the purpose of examining'in to ability, character and other qualifica tions of persons who may desire to enter the public service':! Third—Require by law that every person appointed to civil" office or clerk ship shall OHM the examination by the board in the State of : which he is a citi zen, or in which he resides before his case is taken into consideration by the appointing or . nominating power. In order to secure the support of Senators and Representatives, several members of the Cabinet are inclined to favor a provision requiring that each "applicant for • examination shall be de signated by the Representative from his district or by one of the Senators from his State. Several members also favor restricting all the new appointments in the : departments to the lower grades of clerkship and to a considerable extent, this has already been put in operation. Senator Mitchell on the Virginia Senator Mitchell of;Pennsylvania has written the following 1 , letter, favoring Republican support of. the Readjuster ticket in Virginia: . - , F-Ea580n0,, , &.: July 27, 1881.

J Ambkr Smith, Washingtd i n, D. C. By the death of Mr. Burch the Senate will open its next session without a Secretary and with no way of 'filling his place except by an election. The position of Vie Democrats'during the dead-lock was that there was. no occa sion for. electing .a Secretary when the office was already acceptably filled, and by dilatory , motions they prevented a vote on the motion to proceed ,to the election of officers of the Senate. This argument wilt no longer serve them as far as the Secretary is concerned, and the question must be met. The Wash ington Post suggests that the election of Secretary may be made before the New York Senators are sworn in, thus securing the place to a Democrat. hardly expect that the Democratic tem porary majority will try to play quite such a sharp game. .Obviously, the first step shOuld be' to swear in any Senators present who, have not -vionely qualified and whose seats are not contested. If the entire -seventy six Senators happened to be new ,it -is apparent that the 'qualification of the Senators would be the first thing in or der, as there must 'be a Senate before there can be a Secretary of the Senate.; The two New York Senators will come_ with an equally:Strong claim to instant admission and liberty to participate in the proceedings of the Senate from the very beginning: - If they can be kept oat until a Secretary is elected they 'may, with equal right;ltie kep out while other business is , transacted or till it suite the pleasure of the tem porary majority to' let them in.—Phila. Press. HOWARD. A classmate of President Garfield said at - a Williamstown' prayer meeting lately: "Twenty-six years ago to night, and at this very hour, our class were on the top of Greylock to spend the night of the . Fourth of July. As we were' about . to lie dein to sleep; Garfield took out his poCket Testament and said: - am in the habit of read ing a chapter every night at this time with my mother. Shall I read aloud?' All assented, and when he had read he asked the oldest meMber of the clasig to pray. And therein the;night, on the mountain-top, we prayi3d, with him for whom we have now assembled to pray." With-the downfall of Conping,' the overthrow of the third term heresy is, more than ever assured.

'They dispOsed of their ' homesteads and made up a train of 1,46 men, womeh and children, and Started on the return. They were at tacked by Indians, and 'John D. Lee, at the held of a large force of Mormon miltia, went to the help, of the savages with orders that the whole emigrant party shoal(' , be destroyed. The Cali forniananade a brave defence, keeping the saints at bay for more than a week. At, last tie emigrants were: greatly • overpoweied and forced to surrender. The men came 'out of their entrench ments without arms, and at a given sigi3al every one was: shot by ,Lee's troops. those who were wounded being given over to thel Indians to be killed by torture. The women were first shamefully greatd " and then slaughter ed. The spoils were sent to Salt Lake and sold at auction. by Bishop Higbee and purchased by the saints. The out= rage was planned' by leading mea_ of the Moilnon church to avenge 'the death of Joseph Smith and Elder Per ley Platt. In 'fiendish malice and cru• el execution the massaere of Nena Sa hib of the:English , troops at Cawnpore. in the same year, ,is the only one in modern, history to Compare with it. A great .effort to keep the affair secret was made and was, successful for some years, but at last it became possible to bring the law to bear upon the Mormon criminals. Lee was put upoa trial at Beaver, I7tah, July 22, 1875, when the facts aboye summarized'were brought out. After a long trial, how ever. the jury—,August , B—were unable to agree, and they. were discharged. Lee was_again put on trial, and on September !20, 1876, he was at last convicted of murder in the first degree. Having, in Utah Territory, the right to choose whether he should be hanged beheaded or shot, he choose the latter form of execution, and was according ly sentenced to be. shot, on the twenty-sixth of January, 1877; and on that day he duly paid the penalty of _his terrible crime.

While crossing "the lale after leaving the carry the villian extorted a prom ise of silence from the lady under threats of drowning. • Upon arriving at the camp she was met on the shore by her friends, Mr. and Mrs. Hall aml- others. ' Mr. Hall states that the ladies of the party, al eady in camp, not having been "so promptly apprised of the coming of Mrs. Bull, were .behind Mr. Hall in reaching the shore of the lake where the guide was landing. Upon reach ing the shore Mr. Hall at once saw there was trouble from the appearance of the lady, who, upon stepping ashore and seeing her friends, had an attack of hysteria. AS the guide attempted to push off his boat Air. Hall, seized it . , by the bow; at the--same time he grasped an oar and ordered Parker to kVep quiet. He then called for the : guides of Ex-Senator Platt to come to his assistance.' None of 'them at this time really knew what the trouble was, but Mr. Hall instinctively felt that something had gone wrong. Mrs. Platt and Mrs. Hall were in the - mean• time endeavoring to restore Mrs. Bull to consciousness, while Mr. Hall and the Senator ordered the other_ guides, three in number, at the camp, to . detain Parker until the matter could be in vestigated. During the confusion, hoirever. Parker jumped ashorC and escaped into the woods. Th r alarm was promptly spread, but owing to the limited munber of available men, and the distanee from the different avenues of escape Parker reached his own camp, secured his rifle and had about two hours' start of his pursuers. Parker went to Lowville, ! Lewis coun ty, where he took the train for this city. and arrived . here_ Monday night: The next morning he boarded the train for Cape Vincent and by noon was in Canada, outside of our officers'_ reach. Two of them left for there Thursday- and after much trouble re. I - turned here last evening with-the fiend. He is now in jail and officers and a son of Mr. Platt' are expected in this city this evening. He admits he is the guide, but denies the crime. He will 'no doubt be severely dealt with. Mrs. Bull remains at Mr. Platt's camp. - Betrayed. A STARTLING SEQUEL TO RIGIDIOND'S 110 MANCF. OF THE WIDOWER AND THE- GOVERNESS RWILNIOND, V 4., July 29.--iA few days ago` there was published whiit was then thotight to be a truthful story under the head of "A Richmond Romance." The gist of it was that a wealthy Ohio Widower, in seeking a goVerness, had advertised in .the Hartford Churchmaii; that a• young lady of Richmond had answered the - advertisement; that the widower, Thomas Marvin. hld come on to Richmond; that he had proposed marriage to the young lady, and that finally the happy nuptials were con summated. The article was copied in the Philadelphia Times under its "Lit tle Love Stories" heading and in several other papers. • Alas ! and ells 1 It remains to give the Bak sequel. The man MarvitiE marriage to 'one of Richmond's 'most boloved daughters gave him - an open sesame among business men here. His numerous and well-written letters of introduction ujon the letter-headiSg.of prominent men in the North. and West and the cleverness with which' all - his dealings and advances were . made left not the slightest room for suspicion, and the greatest evidence of confidence was placedin him when he was congratulat ed by the friends of the newly-Made bride. He was introduced at the First Nation Bank, where he presented let- - ters of credit that gained for him ready recognition as a responnible man, and a draft upon a large banking' house of Chicago secured for him the . Teeny cash for theimmediate wants of a person of his represented importance. E Several days after the bridal party left an $BOO draft was returned to the First National from Chicago with advices that it was a palpable forgery.- The lady's friends were terribly shocked. Had the poor girl been duped, ruined ? Telegrams - were sent to persons from whom Mar vin had presented letters: of introduc tion and the letters were 'found to be fictitious I Then the wealthy bride-, groom, who had settled 4 30,600 upon his young wife, , was an impostor and the lady was betrayed. The first intelligence from the nu: hnppy girl was a telegram from Albion, N. Y., in which she inquired if the fatal . agcident to her mother in . , Salem, Va., reported in a Northeriii paper, was true.• So it would seem Marvin had carried her to this place, where he hoped to practice his forgery game . upon wealthy friends of his vic tim, and that in order to get rid of her ,the demon bad manufactured and, had published the story of the: accident to her xnother, thinking she would im mediately return hozne r :and - he make his desertion of tier more easy. When the terrible reality forced itself upon her friends here a lady of the family started at once to join and befriend the unfortunate onein 'her fearful position. oi, the folkiwing day a genthinum start ed with the purpose of hunting down Marvin, who is said to have fled to Canada. The victim is now on her way home. Her anguish may be better imagined than described, and in order to avoid all publicity she will consent only to travel at night. Shortly after the marriage a Northern paper contained an account of an es caped lunatic there, Whose manta was the emplopment of governesse4. If Marvin be the lunatic it adds another ramarkable 'chapter to „this startling episode in real life. Our Systein of Government. Fos TIM BIaIIBLICAN : .Most governments in ages past Were monarchies or aristocracies. The pow. er was vested in a king or a few nobles, and since they inherited their office and held it for life,. they were often guilty of the most cruel- oppressions. Most gov ernments of . the Old World to-day are strongly . flavored with tyranny. Kings and aristocratss - rule and the common people are compelled to do-their bidding. A few nations like Great Britain, are in part representative. • The power of the sovereign and the Lords is held-in check by the House of Commons, elected by the people. Rome, Venice and France, at different periods have been experimenting as republics But we claim in this nation to have outdone all other governments in giving power to the people, and in restraining the ambition of rulers. Onr trates and law-makers are chosen every few years by the people and from the ranks of the people. If the rulers do not give satiefaCtion they may soon be recalled, while faithful men may be re,. elected. Magistrates, who trample up on the . Constitution and neglect their duties, are liable to impeachment. Some of our.` . officers are chosen as often as once - in two years, like the House of liepresentatives, and these law-makers by reason -of their abort term of office, are supposed to know the wishes of their constituents and to be able more accurately to represent them. The Senators who compose another branch of our national legislature, are elected not directly by the people but at one remove from them, namely, by the state legislatures, and their office con- Unties six years. - _Their manner of election and duration of office is suppc(s ed to give them a becoming indepen— dence, and to render them less subject to the caprices of the populaee. Once in four years the_ people choose their president, sometimes re-electing him, but no president has yet held'office to exceed two terms, and,. the sentiment of the nation is adverse to a longer term on ccconut of the abuses that are liable to grow out of it. The judges of our national courts are the. only class of magistrates not chosen by the people. Selected from our ablest lawyers, ap pointed by the President with the ap proval of the S•qotte, and bolding their office during life. they constitute the most dignified body in our goNernment. Yet they have the least aggressive pow er of any officers among us. They are permitted neither to Make or execute law. They can only interpret the Con stitution, decide c t.ses 'appealed to them according to the raw and the evidence, and restrain other meu 4-ho may be disposed to tyrannize. Congres4 shall carry out the intent of the constitution' by.appropriate legisla tion. The President and his assistant s shall enforce the laws. The Supreme COurt shall hold a check upon both the legislative 'and executive departments, adjusting differences that may occur be. tween the central government and any of the States; or between the powers of the several - .States. • Three depait ments in one government, each supple menting and guarding the other. , The President makes no treaties or appoint ments without the consent of the Sen,_ ,ate, and pays out . no moue/ without an' appropriation - from the House of Iteo= resentatives. ' No bill becomes a law without pass ing both houses of Congress, and then fails unless signed by the President or ,passed again by a two-thirds vote over his veto; and still fails if pronounced unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Thirty-eight Staltes have we in the nation. each having a government with'. in itself, and largely relieving the feder al goiernment of the administration of law within its borders. Each State like the nation has a triple form of govern ment, a legislature -in two _ `houses to frame laws, an executive .to enforce them, and a complete system of courts. To facilitate the labor of government, each state is, subdivided into counties - with proper executive officers and courts . to keep the4ieace. And further, the cotintreS._are Vartitioned into town-. ships, each township hiving an element ary government; ani. providing polls where the voices of the people may be heard itilhe frequent elections. Efi/u rebus unin. Setal towns form a county,—the outerwst twigs on one of our nation's two thdusand limbs. Many counties form a State,z- 7 larger limbs and centering in one great branch. Thirty eight states in the ,Naition, all main branches, though same are larger than others, and all are united in, one mag nificent truult-Tur. AMEEICAI4 REPUB LIC. Thirty-eight - states, , yet : but one Nation, and the same flag floats over all. Thirty-eight governors and one PieSident, yet no clashing of authority between: them. Thirty-eight Legisla tures and one Congress, each legislature providing laws for its own state, not in conflict with Constitution of the United States, while Congress provides for the common defence, the postal service, the currency, and whatever concerns us all. Thirty-eight systems of Courts to dis pense justice in as many States, and one Supreme Court with its nitre car °nits, and over sixty districts to inter pret lawn for this great Republic ; all the judges from highest to lowest ex pected to hold the scales of Justice with a firm grasp, to punish crime, and make secure the lives and property of our cit -izens, Truly ours is in theory an elaborate and "well balanced - form of government, without question tha most wonderful ever devised, and intended by its forav dets to insurnfreedom and happiness to, the people. Bat ; will this excellent government survive 'to bless other gen eratiom: in the thousand years to come, as it has blessed us and our fathers in the hundred years now past ? Whether the intent of the founders of this republic has not often been frustrated already, whether their beautiful theories have not sometimes failed in the application, and whether our system of representative government has not .some very weak points which threaten its overthrow in the not didantintare, I lutist leave for consideration at another time.
