He is represented as being in his seat at the time but slipped into the eloak room during tbe roll call on that bill. THE device which Captain How gate used to escape recalls the methods of certain members of tbe Tweed Ring who were so unfortunate as to fall in to the clutches of the law some years ago. The officer who nowadays lets bis prisoner go home to visit, and then loses sight of him, even for a moment, does not seem to have profit ed enough by the experience of others to entitle bim to promotion. THI last of the course of Lectures, for tbe benefit of the U. P. Church Sunday Sbool of tbis place, came off last Tbfirsday evening and was, to us at least, the most entertaining of any before. Preceding tbe lecture of Rev. Ferguson the audience was well enter tained with mnsic, on the piano and vocal, by Mrs. J D. McJunkin, Mrs.Dr Neyman, Mrs. R. P. Scott, Miss Bella Lowry and Mies Donagby. The lecture of Rev. Ferguson that followed, "Throe Days in Salt Lake City" was both interesting an instruc tive. Rev. Ferguson "took in" every thing wort K seeing in Salt Lake daring bis three d»y visit, and told it all to bis audience in a very pleasent manner. ROBERT T. LINCOLN, Secretary of War, is now the only one of President Garfield's Cabinet remaining in Presi dent Arthur's Cabinet. Blaine, Mac- Yeagh, James, Kirkwood and Hunt are all gone to give place to "Stalwart" friends o f the new President and his friends. Lidcoln, it is rumored, will soon have to go aUo. Nothing but being a son of Abraham Lincoln has saved him thus far. The minority of ♦,he party has now six members in tbe Cabinet and tbe majority one. As Senator Edmunds forcibly expressed it, these Stalwarts have "drawn prizes in the lottery of assassination." Bat the people are waiting—and can wait—as their time is coming again—and that before long. THE REMOVAL OF COLONEL SULLIVAN. The removal of Col. John M. Sulli van from the Collectorsbip of Internal Revenue in the district of which this county is a part, will be regretted by our people very generally. Heretofore all efforts made to do so failed, because of the high reputation in which Mr. Sullivan was held by the Government as an officer. It is conceded on all bands that no more competent or faith ful man was in the service of the Gov ernment. The position be occupied was one in which honesty and fidelity are the great requisites needed. And, while even good officials in this coun try are often displaced for others, yet it is the manner in which this and other changes are being made by the Administration of President Arthur, that is calling down upon it the de nunciation of the people. The remo vals and changes being made are all un derstood to be at the instance of Sena tor Cameron, and for some personal or political purpose of his own, and the worst of the matter is, that it is an at tempt to crush out one element of the Republican party to strengthen anoth er. Senator Cameron u ic the posi tion that enables him to do these things in this State. Senator Mitchell, our other Senator, is opposing and struggling to prevent them. Without any notice one is pot out of office and another put in. Without any knowl edge by the Republicans of the State, of any intended change, and without any time given to make applications, offices are filled hy tie sole will of Senator Cameron. Look at the case of the change just made in the office of Marshal for the western district of Pennsylvania, composed of more than half the State. The first news the people have is, that Mr. Hall resigned and Mr. Rutan is appoiuted. Had any time been given there probably would have been ait applicant for this plnce from every county in the district. The office concerns the whole district. One county has as much right to it as anoth er. But all are shut out and Mr. Ru tan, and old office bolder—quietly slip ped in—no chance given for any others to apply. The cry against Col. Sullivan was that he had held office a Ions: time. But here an office is given, almost on the same day that Mr. Sul livan is removed, to Rutau who has held office as long if not longer than Mr. Sullivan. This is personal rule, but it is not comistant, and it is not Republicanism, and"the condemnation that will follow this usurpation of the party'g rights to be heard will be sure and strong. We hope Senator Mitch ell .nay succeed in preventing the con firmation by the Senate of all such -movements. THE REMOVAL OF COL. dILLIVAN. His Excellent Recoril. The following from the Pittsburgh Dispatch of the 14th inst. will explain itself. 'lf there are any Alleghenians who take pleasure in the removal of Collector Sullivan, they consider si lence golden at this juncture. But thousands were talking yesterday, and tfieir condemnation of the act, aud the motives which prompted it, were uni versal. The question of Colonel Jack son's fitness for the position did not enter into any of the discussion the re porter heard. It all turned upon the overriding by the Administration of the general desire of the party, the revenue taxpayers, the three Republi can Representatives interested, and of Senator Mitchell, to have Mr. Sulli van retained, and the solicitation of a few persons iu a gingle county and the dictation of Senator Cameron The district embraces a large extent of ter ritory In it are all of Allegheny coun ty north of the Allegheny river, and Beaver, Butler, Armstrong, Jefferson and Clearfield counties. The Repre sentatives in Congress whose constit uents are interested are Messrs. Bayne, Shallenberger and Miller, Republicans, and Alosgrove and CurtiQ, Democrats. Early after the assembling of Con gress the Republicans named visited the President and represented to bim the desire of their constituents', that no change should be made in the of fice. This they afterwards formulated in a letter. A ST BONO ENDORSEMENT. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, ) WASHINGTON, D.C., Dec. 15,1881./ His Excellency Chester A. Arthur, President of the United States: SIB The undersigned Republican members of Congress, being all tbe Republican members of Congress from Western Pennsylvania whose constit uents have business relations with the Collector of the Twenty-third Revenue Collection district, and expect us to use our influence in maintaining an effi cient and highly satisfactory adminis tration of that branch of the public service, desire to place on file our ear nest conviction, that neither the good of the service nor the wishes of a ma jority of Republicans would be sub served by the removal of Col. John M. Sullivan as Collector of the Twenty, third district. His conduct of the office is eminent ly satisfactory, and we earnestly rec ommend bis retention. Witb much respect, W. S. SHALLENRERGER, Twenty-fourth district. S. H. MILLER, T iventy-sixth district. TUGS. M. BAYNE, Twenty-third district. Accompanying this were two en dorsements, one from Senator Mitchell, whose concurrence is equally strong ; the other from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, certifying to Mr. Sullivan's record as an officer. They were : U. S. SENATE, Dec. 14, 1881. I heartily concur in the within rec ommendation. I am informed that no collector in my State excels Col. Sulli van in efficiency aud devotion to his duties. I have had many letters from this district, and am satisfied that the Republicans and tbe people of his dis trict would, by a large majority, pre fer that no change be made. Very truly yours, JOHN I. MITCHELL. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, ) OFFICE INTERNAL REVENUE, V Dec. 15, 1881. j Respectfully forwarded through the Honorable Secretary of the Treasury. Collector Sulliyan is one of tbe best officers in the service. His manage ment of his office and district reflects the greatest credit upon himself aud the Government. Upon every examination of his of fice and inspection of his district he has maintained the highest standard of excellence. GREEN B. RAUM, Commissioner. A REMINDER TO THE PRESIDENT. Last week Mr. Bayne was obliged to come home upon imperative busi ness, and the time being too short to solicit an interview with the President, he addressed the following letter, as a reminder of the situation : HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, | WASHINGTON, April 7, 1882. ) MR. PRESIDENT —I learn that an effort is bping made to have Col. John M. Sullivan, Collector of Internal Rev enue for the Twenty-third district of Pennsylvania, removed, and Col. Jack son, of Armstrong county, appointed in his place. Lest you may have for gotten it, in the midst of the many things that require your consideration, 1 respectfully call your atteution to the fact that Senator Mitchell and Representatives Shallenberger, Miller and myself united in requesting you to retain Col. Sullivan. We cited his excellent official record, and assured you that bis retention would be gener ally acceptable to the people. You seemed to regard favorably the recom mendation. I believe that Senator Mitchell and my colleagues and myself still desire that Col. Sullivan shall be retained. His official record is still excellent, and I am sure that tbe masses of the peo ple of the Internal Revenue district are content with him and the adminis tration of his office. I therefore re spectfully ask you to retain him, and I do assure you that the best interests of the Republican party, as well as those of the civil service, will be pro moted and strengthened thereby ; and I submit to you that the political ne cessities of no individual should be permitted to override these grave and important considerations. I write to you because I go home this evening, and cannot therefore call iu person to make these suggestious. Yery respectfully yours, Tiios. M. BAYNE. DON'S CAM PA ION. Mr. Bayne, who is in the city yet, was found very indignant. He was asked: "What influence secured the appointment of Col. Jackson ?" "I know of none except Gen. Harry White and Senator Cameron. Mr. i White is a candidate for Congress in the Twenty-fifth district, aud by secur ing this nomiuation he puts out of the way Col. Jackson, who otherwise would have been a candidate in Arm strong county. I need scarcely ex plain Cameron's motives. He is a candidate for re-election in 1885 to the Senate. lam one of the Representa tives from this State who have never bowed the knee to this political Baal." "Who is tbe other ?" ttlf# ffln%l*K Citi®e«s ISwtt**, P*.. 18, 1882. "Godsbalk, of the Bucks district. He, however has never had any trou ble over appointments. Cameron stat ed a short time ago that Sullivan and Wylie, the Collector in Lancaster dis trict, must be removed, or he (Camer on) would lose three State Senators, meaning thereby those now represent ed by Kaufman, Newmeyer and Mc- Neil. Cameron is doing these things in other districts. Mr. Errett was consulted when Case was made Collector and McCleary Postmaster. In the last instauce, I will venture to sav not a dozen persons outside of Mr. Errett knew anything about or solic ited the appointment. Cameron's con duet is a disgrace to the State No other State has ever been so complete ly subjugated to the one-man power as Pennsylvania at th a time. Cameron has become desperate, and is deter mined to rule or ruin For one, I will not submit to his personal domina tion. And 1 believe that a number of ;py colleagues will soon come to the same determination, and will be as free to announce it as I air).'" THE PARTY AFFKCTE&. Mr. Sullivan states that his "re moval was a complete surprise ; for when I was in Washington, in com pany with Representatives Miller, Bayne and Shallenberger, I called on the President and my case was laid before fci.3 Excellency. As we jwere leaving, the Preside intifpated that there would be no change." JQ refer ence to the intimation that charges had been preferred against Lity, he said : "The only construction I can place upon it is that those who opposed me knew that a change was not desired by tfee people, and they have drawn on their iniagiqatiops for the stories of these charges. To tljere is nothing io the stories, you need only to read the letter of Commissioner Raum. This was written Uct December, and is the best endorsement of my stand: Ing as an official." Seiintor9ll(oilell on the WrtUff. A New York Tribune correspondent asked Senator Mitchell Tuesday even ing what the facts were regarding the Jatksoji appoinmtent. "It is one of tbosp things," the Sen ator replied, iu ft tone that plowed strong feeling, "that ought not to be done, that are wrong, aud which Mr- Cameron must not go on doing if the Republican party is to be held togeth er in Pennsylvania. It is the removal of one of th 6 beat pollectors in the Internal Revenue sei-vioo. ft is a drive at Colonel Bayne, ths Congress man from that district. It is an at tempt by Mr. Cameron to defeat Col onel Bavne's re-election to Congress. Colonel"Sullivan, the present Collector, is a relative of Judge Agnew, late Chief Justice of our Supreme Court, and is very well connected. He has been in the place a long time. Gener al Ranra s&id to me that he was one of the best Collectors in tbe pountry, and gave a letter to that effect, wbicfr jyas presented to the President by Con gressmen Shallenborgor and Bayne and myself, Congressman Miller also uniting with us in requesting the re* tention of Colonel Sullivan. Thus all the Republican members of Congress in the district joined with me in ask ing that no change be made. When we left tbe President—this was, I ihink, in December—Colonel Sullivan had every reason to suppose that he would not be disturbed, though the President did not promise it; but Col. Sullivan says Senator Cameron prom ised to make no attempt to disturb him, and I believe Col. Sullivau. The office must be held in Allegheny eouutv as it now is, even if Col. Jackson M confirmed. lie is from Armstrong county. I have no personal criticism to make upon Col. Jackson. If pub lic sentiment demands Col. Sullivan's removal, I would have nothing to say; but there is no such sentiment. He is strong with the people auu they want him to remain." A POLITICAL VIEW. Passing to the political aspects of the appointment, Senator Mitchell said: "Mr. Cameron has a political object in view, of course. He wants to defeat Colonel Bayne, who is one of the best in the House from Pennsylva nia, who is strong with the people of bis district, and especially so as an ad vocate of the tariff. He was overruled in that appointment of the Postniastur at McKeesport, where the appointment was made without any consultation with him. and now iu this matter; and they propose also to take away from him the right to say anything about the postoffice at Allegheny City, where he resides. Mr. Cameron wants every Republican in Pennsylvania to attorn to him; he must admit that he holds only under Cameron. I make no issue with the President I think he must be misled by the lack of suf ficient information.as to tbe condition of public opinion in the party in Penn sylvania." Going on to speak of himself, he said: "It has been my ambition dur ing the year that I have been in this office to convince Mr. Cameron of the need of a change in these matters. I have had many plain talks with him. I have wanted to sec justice done to both wings of the party. I have been waiting for a year in the hope that something could be accomplished, sub mitting in tbe meantime to misrepre sentation and ridicule. It was even telegraphed over the country when I secured Senator Teller's seat that I did it through the prescience of Sena tor Cameron. It seems to be thought that 1 have NO CONSCIOUSNESS OK MY OWN, no capacity of mind apart from Senator Cameron. I have certain principles" —and here the Senator spoke with great positiveness—"and when Sena tor Cameron gets in the way of them from this time on he must get out of the way. I have steadily opposed many of the appointments made iu Pennsylvania since I came in this of fice. Mr. Cameron knows this, and the authorities making these appoint ments know it." When asked if he had formed any plan of action for the future the Sena tor said : "Nothing further than to speak my mind in these matters, and give tbe advice I think proper. I have no time to spend in organizing politic al movements. I could not do it with out neglecting my official duties ; but if there should be any popular move ment by Republicans to carry out tbe ideas I have expressed I should not hesitate to join it, lor I believe such a movement necessary to the salvation of the Republican parly in Pennsylva nia." When asked whether he meant with in or without the party lines, he said wi;h great positiveuess : "I mean just what I say—any popular movement by Republicans." The Senator's manner throughout the talk was that of a man whose patience bad been exhausted. It was apparently the plainest expression of opinion regarding his colleague he has ever made, and it is not likely that that bitter aud revengeful politician will ever forgive it. BURIAL OF A SWEDE. Ou Sunday last a native of Sweden was buried in the German Lutheran burial ground, of this place. He was one of the large number of Swedes ! who are now working upon the rail road being constructed herp, and bad died tbe day previous at the boarding bouse of Mr. John B. Graham, of typhoid fever. We allude to the mat ter from the fact that it was the first death and burial of a Swede ever hap pening here, and from the further fact fhat tfie funeral services were conduct fid in the Swedish language. Rev. Cronenwett, of tbis place, iead in the exercises, which he was enabled to do from having some knowledge of the Swedish language. He read the Swedish burial service both at the house and at the grave from a church furn»sj)e(| him, we believe, by one of the Swedes. 1-he Swedes thonir selves lead in the singing, froqa byipns in the same Loot.

A GRAND AURORA BOREALIS —MAQNIFICENT SIGHT. On Sunday night last was witnessed here one of the grandest sights ever in the heavens, nine o'clock a ligui t-d {.'loud arose above the Northern horizen, which might have been mistaken for the reflection of a fire. Soon after a whitish cloud began forming all along the Northern horizen. This gradually spread, as* cended the sky as far as the North star, and spread East and West until it formed an arch spanning the whole Northern part of the sky. Then, about ten o'clock, there arose directly in the Kofti) a beautiful, straight column, of a wavy light color and reaching to about the North star. Soon this col. umn, or stream, began spreading East and West, and so continued, in red and light colors, mixed throughout, until in the whole Northern half of the sky were seen numberless streams of this wavy atmosphere, dashing up and down and flashing continually with redish lights much resembling light ning. These streams continued to grow in brilliancy and number, and at about eleven o'clock the whole half of the heavens was covered, presenting a spectacle grand beyond description. No human hand ever has or could paint such a scene. It was intensely interesting and grand. The streams in the East, West and North, final ly began to approach one another, and bv twelve o'clock they were all con verging to one point in the zenith. Here they seemed to form a grand crown, and then gradually disappeared, While the streams were being united and centering in the zenith, and form ing this crown, no more beautiful sight was possible. About twelve they began to vanish and by one o'clock but few traces of this grand phenom enon existed. We suppose this all was merely the Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights, often told of. But if so we have no account of so grand a one ever being seen here. That it is electrical in its nature would seem evident. But that it is phenominal, to as great an extent as meteoric phe nomenon, any one who witnessed the scene last Sunday night will fully be lieve. The night of April 16, 1382, must long be remembered by all who had the pleasure of seeing so grand an Aurora Borealis. Indicted lor liribery. COLUMBUS, 0., April 14.—The grand jury of Franklin county this evening returned indictments against Representative William Bloch, of Cleveland, and Representative W. A. Wright, of Hocking conuty, charged with accepting bribes from lobbyists interested in certaiu canal schemes at Cincinnati. Two indictments were returned against J D.

Hampton & Dalzell are the plaintiff's attorneys.. SENATOR CAMERON has seored an important victory over Congressman Bayne and the anti-Stalwarts general ly, by the removal of John M. Sullivan from the Revenue Collectorship of the Allegheny district and the appointment of Samuel M. Jackson, of 4rmsirong. Sullivan is one of the oldest Revenue (Joljepiprg it} Penn sylvania, and it is conceded by all tkjat there has been BO better revenue officer in this or any other State, He is an honest, accomplished gentleman; a courteous aud most faithful officer, and one of the earliest and most consistent Republicans ; but he never understood machine politics and regarded bis pub lic duties as paramount to party obli gations. Such a revenue official is quite oat of styjp as things go now, when the policy is openly pi-ocjajmed that public offices arc mere party spoils and party machine agents. The re moval of Colonel Sullivan will proba ly cause many hesitating llepnblicans in the Western counties to decide in favor of open battle against the Stal wart machine, and the predetermined defeat of Congressman Bayne will likely make him invincible before the people of Allegheny. But the Stal wart march is onward, and Republi cans must choose between uncondition al submission of revolution.—Philadel phia Times, April 13, Charles Francis Adauis Victim* lzed for $19,000. BOSTON, April 6.—A sensation somewhat startling in its nature has just been developed in this city, and has created great excitement and com ment among those few to whom it is known. The affair has somehow leaked oat, notwithstanding the ut most endeavors were made to keep it secret, and the police even now are reticent. The plain facts in the case are these: Hon. (Jharles Francis Adams, the once recognized Democrat ic leader in this State, twice nominee of that party for Governor, who has been Minister to the Court of St. James, and often spoken of in the Presidential campaigns as a possible nominee of Democracy for the Chief Magistracy of the Nation, has for several years past been gradually fail ing in mental power. He is now sevectyr-sij years old, and hc.s been given best care and treatment and all knowledge of his partially-demented condition rigidly kept from all political and personal friends save very few. He has occasionally parsed your cor respondent on the street, and from his childish manner and appearance one might easily suspect something was amiss. However, no suspicion of his true condition has been generally known, and the surprise of all Boston ians may be imagined when they shall read this morning the startling an nouncement that this eminent states, man, the descendant of past Presidents of the United States, has been fleeced out of $15,000 by banco gamblers. A OA ME OF BANCO. Mr. Adams had a balance in the Merchants' Natioual Bank of SIB,OOO. Two or three days ago his family were notified that Mr. Adams had overdrawn his account. This they thought strange and iuvest'gation at once followed. The party depositing the check was seen, aud. after many negotiations, two men, giving the names of J. S. Morrison and J. F. Norton, were induced by promises to give the story. They acknowledged having inveigled Adaius, on March 28, into a house on Boylston street, whero a game of banco was progressing, and where he (Adams) began to play, finally losing $19,350, for which he gave checks of $17,500, $1,600 and $2,500.
