The Eagle, under the head of "Hon est Elections,' in its last issue rather objects to our reference to the "ballot box stuffing of the Quay Machine politi cians in Philadelphia," because we ask ed it to tell its readers that these fellows were all active Quay Machine workers, a thing it carefully avoided in its origi nal article. It then says "that Daniel Hastings, Win. Flinn, or with more reason, David Martin might as well be charged with these crimes as Quay." We did not say that Quay did the "bal lot box stuffing act. " but that the fellows who did it were Quay Machine hustlers in Philadelphia, nine of whom are fugi tives from justice, avoiding trial on the indictments that have been found against them. It is not that Quay per sonally did, of does, the mischief the people complain of, bnt the system of politics that has been established in this State by Quay and his allies, that leads to such things where the will of the people is set at naught, and what the machine wants is carried through by just snch methods,and which ourneigh bor so justly condemned in its article refered to. We ask our neighbor, when it condemns the acts done, why it don't go a step farther and condemn the sys tem, and those who made it. that leads to such acts? Remove the cause and the effect will cease. Another question we want to ask the Eagle is, why it insinuates "that David Martin might as well be charged with the ballot frauds"? etc. There is no charge that the crime against the ballot box was done in his ward, or that he had any connection with the gang that did "the stuffing act," but on the con trary the work was done in the seyenth ward, that is said "to be politically owned by Israel W. Durham," one of chief lieutenants of the Quay Machine in Philadelphia, in fact one of its chief advisors in the State, then why the in sinuation aforesaid? Yes, neigh bor, we will join with you for honest elections, both primary and general; that is what the people want, and is all we want, and to bring that about the first thing is to get rid of "machine politics " Will you join us in that? In all sincerity we ask you if Quay has not had about his share of public of fice? And what great things has ho ac complished during his twelve years in the Senate that could not hn ve been done as well, or better, by several thousand other good men in our State had they been in the Senate? We would like to know the great service Quay has done the people that entitles him to be kept in office all the time, to the exclu sion of all other men in the State? Why should one man be kept in public place term after term for nearly a whole life time, when there are plenty of men who are willing, and could serve the people as well, iT not better, than the one in offico. If it is a bad thing, don't punish the man by keeping hiin in of fice, and if it is a good thing, let the good things go round. There are plen ty of good, honorable, capable men to fill the place, who would be a credit to our State. Let us give some of them a chance. Terrible A flair in Kentucky. While State Senator Goebel, and two friends were walking through the grounds of the State Capitol at Frank fort. Kentucky, Tuesday morning, Mr. Goebel was struck down by a bullet tired from the third story of the Execu tive building. The bullet was fired from a partially opened window, and the assassin used smokeless powder, and probably escap ed, though an armed man was arrested as he was leaving the building. The shooting created great confusion in the city and the military were call ed out to preserve order. During the day the Board that lias been hearing the contest for Governor, declared in favor of Goebel, by a strict party vote, and he took the oath of of fice as he lay in bed. and J. ('. Beckham took the oath as Lieut. Goy.. but Gov ernor Taylor adjourned the Legislature, and Kentucky has two governments going. WASHINGTON NOT KM. On Thursday of last week the House by a vote of 2(W to 50 refused Rep. Rob erts of Utah a seat in that liody. Rob erts left the room after the vote was taken, and issued an address beginning: "Our griefs are past when remedies are ended, "Byaeelngthe worst which late on hope depended." On Monday, Joe Sibley announced that Quay wonld 1h! seated. The news of the shooting of Senator Goebel in Kentnckey created a great sensation in the two Houses, and for a time business was suspended. Fears of civil war there, necessitating Federal interference were expressed. New Men and Better Methods. Ex-Lieutenant Governor Watres, of Lackawanna county who was Chair man of the Republican State Committee in I*ol and who some time since declar ed his opposition to the methods of those in control of the Republican organiza tion in the State, in speaking of the recent expose of ballot-box frauds in Philadelphia, said: "When election frauds were first al leged it was looked upon by many as a play to the galleries, and part of a fac tional tight. The arrests and subse quent flight of the accused have convinc ed the general public that the charges were based on fact, and that election frauds are frequently practiced. It is a most humiliating comment that the Republican organization in a great Republican State like Pennsylva nia, with its enormous majorities, with its fair record and glorious history, should rely upon tricky primaries and fraudulent ballots to keep it in power. '•Pennsylvania in the past has en tertained a just pride in her devotion and loyaltv to the principles of the Republican" party. Nothing but a sud den awakening to the danger and duty of the hour will save the proud name of the Commonwealth from merited re proach and disrepute. If the ballot is corrupt, what hope have we for pure politics or pure government. ' The situation, briefly stated, is: That the Republican party in the State needs reforming. It will certainly be reformed either within party lines or by forces outside of it. Party promises have gone to protest, and no responsi ble endorser for their renewal by the present regime is in sight. New men and better methods are peremptorily de manded. "The present is an opportune time for action. The first duty of the citizen is to address himself to the remedying of defective election laws. None but men of known political integrity should be sent to the next Legislature. Men who will not swear allegiance toproper lv safe guard the people at the primar ies, and the ballot box, and whose rec ord is not a sufficient guarantee for hon est legislation should be permitted to remain at home. "To accomplish this requires vigi lance. effort and organization. Young men should enter politics and the bood ler lie sent to the rear. Proper men should be selected in each legislative district as candidates, and a vigorous campaign put forth in their behalf. "I ani a firm belieyer in organi zation. That it is sometimes called a machine does not change its purpose. But the proper province of the organi zation is to formulate and execute the party policy, and not to use the machine for personal ends. Integrity should be as much a fundamental virtue with political parties as it is with in dividuals. "Under the present rules and practice, county and district conventions for the election of delegates to the State con ventions are held at different dates, and when necessaay for its purposes are directed by the State organizations. This enables the organization to con centrate its forces on each district sep arately, and the unorganized voter is at a great disadvantage. This should bo changed and primaries throughout the State should be simultaneously held. "The purpose of the primaries should be to nominate men who will represent the people and not a political boss. With a Legislature composed of free and untrammeled men, Pennsylvania will secure honest primaries, honest elections and honest legislation, faction alism will cease, the people's rights will be protected, extravagance guarded against, patriotism promoted, education advanced, the rights of capital and labor adjusted, and the peace, prosper ity and good name of the Common wealth assured."

On Thursday the British War office i received word that Gen. Warren's Div ision had captured Spion Kop. a high hill on the North side of the Tugela. During the battle one English Colonel was killed also 23 other officers and men. The Boers immediately began a bom bardment that forced the English to re tire from the hill, the news of which put England "in deep gloom. It is significant that the Boers can make the English move from a high hill, and in dicates field guns of longer range. On Sunday the British War office re. ceived word from Buller of his defeat at Spion Kop, and retreat to the south bank of the Tugela. He sent no list of casualities. but said he lost no stores. The Boer account of the battle dated Jan. 25, and coining by way of Lorenzo Marques, is interesting. It reads: Some Vryheld Bughers from the out posts on the highest hills of the Spion kop group rushed into the laagers, say ing that the kop was lost and that the English h.-.d taken it. Reinforcemeuts were ordered up but nothing could be done for some time, the hills being en veloped in thick mist. At dawn the Heidelberg and Carolina contingents, supplemented from other commandoes, began the ascent of the hill. Three spurs, precipitous projections, faced the Boer positions. Up these the advance was made. The horses were left under the first terrace of rocks. Scaling the steep hill, the Boers found that the English had inproved the op portunity and entrenched heavily. Be tween the lines of trenches was an open veldt, which had to be rushed under a heavy fire not only from rities, but of lyddite and shrapnel from the field guns. These forces ascended the three spurs co-ordinately, under cover of fire from the Free State Krupps. a Crensot and a big Maxim. The English tried to rush the Boers with the bayonet, but their infantry went down before the Boer rifle fire as before a scythe. The Boer investing party advanced step by step until 2 o'clock in the after noon, when a whiteflag went up and 150 men in the front trenches surrendered, being sent as prisoners to the head laag er. The Boer advance continued on the two kopjes east of Spionkop. Many Boors were shot, but so nuxiierons were theßurghres that the gaps filled auto matically. Toward twliffht they reached the summit of the second kopje, but did not get further. The British Maxims belched flame, but a wall of fire from the Mausers held the English back. Their center, under this pressure, gradually gave way and broke, abandoning the position. Ihe prisoners speak highly of the bravery ot the Burghers who, despising cover,stood against the skyline edges of the summit to shoot the Dublin fusilliers sheltered in the trenches. Firing continued for some time, and then the Fusiliers and the Light Horse, serving as infantry, threw up their arms and rushed out of the trenches. The effect of the aband onment of Spionkop by the English can hardly be gauged as yet, but it must prove to be immense. An unusually high proportion of lyddite shells did not explode. . . The Boers reported 1500 British killed and wounded, and in London the relief of Ladysmith was considered helpless. On Monday a false report of the sur render of Ladysmith parsed over the wires, but in London all hope of saving the ten thousand men surrounded there was rapidly vanishing, The war office had nothing new. The office had 20.000 men and 155 guns at sea on their way to the Cape. On Monday Gen. Buller read the Queen's message of sympathy to his troops, and told his troops he expected to l»e in Ladysmith within a week. He had not yet given out his list of casual ites at Spion Kop, but it was feared they would run over 2,800. The Boers were shelling Kiinberly that day; and the English Cabinet that day considered the mobilization of all their fleets. A THOUSAND armed men arrived in Frank ford, Ky., last Thursday, from the mountains wearing Gov. Taylor badges, but the Republican leaders in duced them to go home again, which they did after issuing an address, de manding fair play. Wimerton.

"It is stated that Col. Qua}-, Gov. Stone, Representative Connell of Lacka wanna, Mayor Ashbridge of Philadel phia and James Elverson of the latter city, will be five of the eight delegates at large to the National Republican con vention. State Senator Hardenberg of Wayne is regarded as certain to be nom inated for Auditor General, and that Rev. T. L. Flood of Meadville may suc ceed S. A. Davenport of Erie as one of the Congressmen-at-Large. For the other place there may be a contest be tween Galusha A. Grow and George T. Oliver of Allegneny. The basis for the latter statement is the fact that Mr. Grow and Senator Hardenberg are from the same Congressional and Senatorial districts and the State Convention will not put two places in adjoining coun ties, there being only three salaried places to fill."—H.
