Col. Tiios. A. Scott formerly presi
dent of the P. It. It., died at bis resi
dence on Saturday last. All the engines
on the road and the different stations
will be draped In mourning. His death
resulted from a paralytic Bhock.
The revised New Testament Is now
In force, several hundred thousand copies
having been put in the hands of the
book sellers on Friday last. Hades Is
now the proper word, but it is probable
that printing offices will still hold to the
old name for their broken type box.
Oe. Grant writes a letter in which
he shows he dislikes Judge Robertson,
as bad as Conkling does. This is not
surprising as Robertson was the leader
lu the Chicago Convention of those
opposed to the third term, and Grant
could not be expected to have any love
for him.
Judge Roiiertson, was on Wednes.
day last unanimously confirmed by the
Senate as Collector of the Port of.New
York. The report of his confirmation
was received in the Senate Chamber at
Albany with clapping of hands, and an
adjournment for fifteen minutes was
had for the purpose of congratulating
their presiding ofiicer.
From present appearances there will
be a bitter fight in New York over the
Senatorial election. The anti Conkling
men are determined to defeat him, and
it may be will join the Democrats and
elect an independent, if it can be done
in no other way. Mr. Robertson the
president Pro tern of the State Senate
and the man who was so objectionable
to Conkling is talked of as a candidate.
The Sexate adjourned sine die on
Friday last. The nomination of Wni.
E. Chandler as Solicitor General, was
rejected by a party vote. Senator Cam
eron voted with the Democrats against
his confirmation. Several other im
portant nominations were not acted
upon, one being Lucius P. Thompson,
appointed Surveyor of the Port of Phil
adelphia. Senator Conklino finding that he
could not have his own way in regard
to the nominations for New York offices
concluded to smash things, and conse
quently sent to the governor of New
York his resignation on Monday last.
Mr. Piatt, who seems to be Conkling's
boy, joined him in bis action and also
resigned, so that State is not now repre
sented in the Senate. They are both
candidates for re-election, and claim if
they are elected it will be a terrible re
buke to the administration and an en
dorsement of their action.
The Nation existed before Conkling
was born and the country will probably
manage to get along even if be should
not be sent back to the Senate. In fact
a party or a country that could be de
stroyed by the loss of one man, would
hardly be worth saving.
Some of these gentlemen claim that
the President has not kept the pledges
he made before his election. They take
good care however not to make the
assertion that any pledges were made
them, for to do so, would be a confession
that they had helped to elect the ticket
only because of these promises, or in
other words they would confess they had
been bribed, instead of acting from patri
otic motives. Now which of these men
who are howling about violated pledges,
will announce that he aided la the cam
paign only in consideration of certain
promises. It would be a good thing for
either party to be able to know whose
services are to be had only on such
terms.
Mutilated Coins.
The mutilation of coin by punching
has become so common of late that un
lets the community takes the matter in
hand and promptly sets Its face against
this open violation of a national statute,
unmutilated coins will be the exception
and mutilated the rule. It is not as well
known as it should be that there Is a
law seventy-flve years old that makes
this defacing or lessening of the value
of coin a high misdemeanor. In order
that there may be no misunderstanding
on the part of our readers, we quote
the law:
"If any person shall fraudulently and
for gain's sake, by any act, way, or
means whatsoever, impair, diminish,
falsify, scale, or lighten gold or silver
coins, which lm ve been, or which shall
hereafter be coined at ' the Mint of the
United Slates, every person so offending
shall be deemed guilty of a high misde
meanor, and shall be Imprisoned not ex
ceeding two years, and lined not exceed
ing JU.OOO."
The Star Route Disooverles.
A Washington despatch says : - The
Postmaster General has discovered, since
taking charge of the department, that
many valuable papers, which ought to
be on file in the offices of the Second
Assistant Postmaster General, are miss
ing. Among those which cannot be
found are reports made by special agents
in relation to some of the routes held by
the rings and manipulated for their
benefit. Many of these reports severely
criticised the routes and the increased
and expedited service upon them, and
threw much light upon the rings'
methods. In most cases the agents
retained copies of these reports, and
some of these copies have recently been
secured by the department. Brady com
pletely controlled his division. No one
can tell how many interesting docu
ments Mr. Brady regarded as unneces
sary for the files. It is believed that the
rings are relying upon the expected
indignation of the people who have been
served, or partly served, by their routes.
They hope that this indignation will be
manifested wherever service may be
reduced or cut off, and manifested so
strongly that it will produce a sentiment
in their favor. There are indications
that some of the contractors are hard at
work endeavoring to prejudice the peo
pie lu their vicinity against the Post
master General and his undertaking.
A person was arrested in Altoona on
Thursday last for uttering forged money
orders purporting to have been Issued
from Liverpool, Ohio. When searched
he Mas found to have orders as follows :
Si orders purporting to have been issu
ed at East Liverpool, Ohio, for $50 each

Harrlsburg, six at Mlddletown, six at
Mount Joy, six at Lancaster, six at Bryn
Mawr, six at Coatsville, six at Parkes
bu rg. For the State Of New Jersey there
were found six orders each prepared for
Camden, Trenton, New Brunswick,
Rah way, Elizabeth, Newark and Jersey
City. For New York State, Coles had
made out six orders each for the follow
ing places: New Rochelle and Port
Chester. He expected to dupe Connecti
cut postmasters in the following places
for six orders apiece: Hartford, New
Haven, Bridgeport, South Norwalk,
Stamford and Wallingford, while for the
State of Massachusetts the forger had
arranged to gather in $50 per order on
six in Boston, two each in Springfield
and Worcester and one in Palmer.
A Dangerous Female.
Saturday morning about 10 o'clock,
Daniel Densler, a boy about sixteen
years of age, residing on Maple street,
York, was shot by Miss Lucy Hyde, on
the public road near the Codorus paper
mills. It appears that young Densler
was crossing Miss Hyde's field and was
ordered off, which he did, and while
attempting to mount Mr. Lentz's wagon
on the road he was shot by the lady in
the calf of his leg, at least forty shot
penetrating it. Justice Myers, of the
Ninth ward, issued a warrant for the
arrest of Miss Hyde, on oath of the
father, charging her with maliolously
shooting his son Daniel. Officer Ginter,
when attempting to serve the warrant
was met at the Hyde residence by the
same woman pointing a gun at him
from the window, telling him to keep
off or else she would Bhoot him as she
did the boy. The officer afterwards
made arrangements with Miss Hyde's
brother who promised to bring his sister
to York when the matter will be inves
tigated and ball entered to nnswer the
charge at court.
Oxford, May 10. A very daring high
way robbery was committed upon the
person of Constable William 8. Qulgley,
who is also the Collector of Taxes for
East Nottingham township. Mr. Qulg
ley had been out all Friday making col
lections, and had in his possession $454
of taxes, which he Intended to pay over
the next day to the School Board. When
within about two hundred yards of his
house, it being about 8 o'clock in the
evening, he was met by three men, one
of whom suddenly stopped and seized
hold of his horse. Mr. Quigley drew his
revolver and ordered the men to let go.
He had no time to act further, for the
other two highwaymen sprang upon
him, and one gathered a handful of dirt
in the road and threw It into his eyes;
he was then dragged out of his vehicle
and beaten over the head and rendered
Insensible.. The robbers then took Ms
pocketbook and revolver. The thelves
had hardly escaped before a neighbor
came along and found blni lying on the
road. Nothing was done until the next
day, when search was made for the
villains, which resulted in the finding
of the revolver and the pocketbook In the
woods with nothing in the latter but
some papers. Mr. Qulgley was unable
to give any description of the men ex
cepting that he thought they were white
men blackened so as to disguise them
selves.
Another Grave Violated.
The grave of Wesley Marti ndnle, a
conspicuous citizen and Mason, and a
person of considerable wealth, who died
recently at Gallipolls, Ohio, has been
violated, and the head of the corpse cut
off and carried away. Martlndale, it
seems, married two years ago, and
before his death made a will giving his
entire property to his wife. After his
death it was claimed by his relatives
that he was of unsound mind, the cause
of his insanity being a syphilitic tumor
pressing upon the brain. They asked to
have a post mortem, which the Court
had not yet granted. The motion for
this was to have been heard this week.
On Monday the sexton discovered that
the earth at the head of the grave had
been disturbed, and an examination
showed the glass in the coffin shivered
and the head missing. The Masons are
guarding the rest of the corpse.
A Fight In a Cemetery.
Reading , May 17. The Evans Cem
etery near this city was the scene of a
rough-and-tumble fight between two
men, caused by the attempt of one to
erect a tombstone over the grave of the
other's sister.
Louis Kretz had been a frequent vis
itor to the house of John VV". Chosen
while Chosen's Bleter was alive. When
she died he wanted to put up a tombstone
above her grave. Chosen objected, and
said that be would himself attend to it.
Krelz, however, had a tombstone made
and taken to the cemetery. The two
men met at the cemetery this afternoon,
and from words proceeded to blows.
ChoBen had several teeth knocked out,
and Kretz's face was cut and bruised.
Kretz had planted some flowers about
the grave, but the irate brother pulled
them up. Chosen has since published
a notice in the newspapers forbidding
the erection of any tombstone over the
grave of his Bister save such as he may
himself order.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Wasbinoton, D. C, May 18, 1881.
Tbe supremo topic of conversation on the
streits, In tbe hotels, and lu the Departments
is the course pursued by Senators Conkling
and Flatt in resigning from tbe United Blttes
Senate. While tbof e not connected with public
life freely give tbelr opinions, public men are
exceedingly reticent, and when 'questioned
touching the complication make evasive an
swers. It Is reported that the caucus held
after the failure to effect any compromise,
Senator Conkling said i " Well, geDtleman, I
will take a stop next Monday that will clear
the thing up." Nobody had any Idea he con
templated resigning from the Senate but
thought, rather, he would let the fight go by
default and the struggle over Robertson by
allowing a vote to be taken. Those most In
dignant over the courso of 8entor Conkling,
are his personal friends. These say that he
should have advised them of the step be was
about totuke inasmuch as his own and Senator
Piatt's retirement leaves the Democrats in
possession of the Senate. Conkling's side met
this with the declaration that neither of the
Mow York Senators are under any obligations
to either the President or tbe Senate, certainly
not to tbe President, and as tbe Republicans
of tbe Senate were about to desert them, they
were under no obligations to take council from
those ready and willing to humiliate them.
The interesting question which so agitates the
public mind Is what do Senators Conkling and
l'latt meant The general belief is this i They
have resigned fully believing that tbe New
York Legislature will vlndlcato them by a
reelection. If they are returned, they will of
courso make the issuo before the New York
Legislature that tbey cannot and will not sup
port the administration. They will be inde
pendent of the Republicans in tbe Senate : will
be booted aud spurred to make war on whom
soever they choose., and will, as Conkling has
announced, refuse to caucus again with tbe
Republicans now in the Senate. On the whole
tbe couree of the New York Senators has a
tinge of tmbylshueES that wholly robs it 'of
statesmanlike action. Tbe Democrats ridicule,
and his enemies in his own party pity him. In
fact, there are tome who express some doubt
as to his reelection, and graver doubts as to
Piatt's. The New York Tribune recognizing
this, said yesterday i "Suppose tbe Boss should
bo re-elected, aud Mr. Flatt should 'get loft'
what a smile there would be abroad in the
laud !" By an adroit luovuoieut of the "half
breeds," or antl-Conkllng meu, no election fur
Senator can take place uutll May 81st, and
meantime the "vindication" of the Senators
hang tire, and may not go off at all.
The Committee having under discussion the
Robertson nomination, have ordered a favora
ble report to be made upon it to tbe Senate.
Fred Douglass has been confirmed as Record
er of Deeds for the District, aud Captain Henry
as Marshall.
JuBtlco Stanley Mathews has been sworn in
aud assigned to the Sixth Judicial Circuit,
composed of the States ol Ohio, Michigan,
Kentucky aud Tennessee.
