Bishop Gil Haven.
Cariosity is expressed in some quarters
to know whether that immaculate apostle
of miscegenation and higher law morality
is as strongly in favor of Grant for a
third term as he was before the Babcock
'•nd Belknap scandals. Tbbse who know
him best are f the opinion that recent
developments hava only strengthened his
devotion to the worthy head of his pirty.
J ppropos of old Gil: his appear-
nee a few days since, as pre
siding officer a* the fifty-second ses-
tion of the Pittsburgh Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church brought the
following story to the recollection of the
correspondent of the Pittsburgh Chroni-
tfc “Dr. Newbr.ll, the former President
of the Delaware College, and a personal
friend of Bishop Haven, was very sick.
The disease fill* d the poor man's mind
with all sorta t vagaries. For many
days he th»- Limself immortal, and
refused to eat anything whatever. The
Bishop happened to visit him at this time,
and tried to prevail upon his sick friend
to take some nourishment. ‘No • I do
not want anything.’ said he. *1
am immortal. I am in heayen.
This is heaven.’ Then pausing for
a moment and looking at his visi
tor with a troubled air, he said : ‘But,
Haven, how in the world did you get
•Jhere ? You are tne last person I expected
to see in this place.’ ”
Reform in Massachusetts.
A number of Massachusetts It publi
cans, disposed towards reform, have met
\ in council with a view to promote the
'omination of a man of high ca trader,
ability and statesmanship as a Republican
candidate for the Presidency. The names
of Adams and Bristow found the most
fa^or among them. The more thoughtful
men in ‘.be Republican party pre fully
alive to the dangers of the hour, and to
the necessity cf a sounder and safer posi
tion tbpn that now occupied. There is
an unusual fermentation in both parties
just now, end the friends of reform find
that they have already made an impress
ion. The Poston Radicals seem to be fully
impressed with the necessity of reforming
the corruption which permeates their
party from the highest to the lowest. But
the difficulty is to find leaders whose
characters will boar investigation. Judg
ing from recent disclosures Diogenes
"inight search through x he ranks of the
Rdaical party with a locomotive head-light
for a lantern and not find an honest man.
The truth that the people of Massachu
setts and of the entire country have yet
to realize is that the principles of the
Radical party are utterly inconsistent
with either true patriotism or honesty.
Radicalism, rascality and rottenness are
synonomous terms.
Toj Virtuous for Its Party.
The Boston Advertiser will have to be
voted out of the Radical faction; it is en
tirely too honest to be an organ of the
“party of moral ideas.” Commenting on
tbe w* clesale bribery by which ♦he New
Hampshire Red ; "' 1 'incrf° , ':d th^- E a-
jonty ’j ‘he r: .ut ele»Y~r\ *t says
“There is nc . ,3 as goc ' ; - v o j- esent
to say that some of the r srr“’oyei
bv tc-b parties in endeavoring to trrv
t!is' '- , ’on—* test, every '’ectic * in
the last ten y.ars—are sc«i.J.aiour end
disgraceful. It is no excuse for ei'-er
party to plead the practice of the otl cr.
Both are equally guilty. Both use open
bribery to secure votes for themselves or
to induce opponents not to vote. T .e
public conscience seems to be altoget :r
demoralized when it is a question of
saving or gaining a vote. We rejoice over
the triumph in New Hampshire so far n &
it is a victory of good principles over
bad, but we regret it so far as it is a tri
umph of trickery and of money. If the
Republicans of New Hampshire want
reform, let them begin at home and
reform themselves. In their way they
have done things quite as bad as that for
which the country condemns Belknap. The
political atmosphere is foul with the corrup
tion. If the party cannot win without bribe
ry let it turn its attention to awakening the
public conscience, and. meanwhile, leave
bribery and political success to the party
which has no scruples on the subject in
any State.”
Why, this sort of talk in a Radical
paper is what honest Dogberry would
have called “flat burglary.” To talk
about the Radicals wanting reform—to
say that the New Hampshire Radicals are
no better than Belknap—to inveigh
against bribery and corruption, and even
propose to awaken the public conscience.
I'rom a Radical standpoint this sort of
counsel is downright treason. Does not
the editor of the Advertiser know that
corruption and bribery is the life-blood J
of his party, and that the “awaken
ing of the public conscience” would be
the death-knell of Radicalism? He
ought to know that the day is passed
when elections in this country are to be
carried by app : !• to the intelligence and
patriotism of .’:e people, and majorities
are detersio?*.7 :s ballots of honest
voters. He cv'ght to know that it is by
•orruption and bribery, and appeals to the
passions, pre V dices Fud se> tional hatred
of the people, that hie party is maintain- !
ed in power. He should know that the 1
reliance of the banditti who now ha~e !
possession of the government, is in bri
bery at the North and bayonets at the
3outL. To talk of honesty, patriotism and
conscience, is to invoke the overthrow of
Radicalism with its usurpation, corrup
tion and robbery, and all the other “le
gitimate results of the war. ”
Mr. Dana the Victim of States’ Bights.
It will be seen by our Washington dis
patch that the Senate Committee has re
ported against confirming Mr. Richard
H. Dana’s appointment as Minister to
Great Britain. The Chicago Tribune, in
backing up Mr. Dana’s appoW~ient,
takes occasion to explai r *13 caur" :f ihr
opposition to his confirciatior d teemf
the'. Lb Lawrence had edited an edition
of I'beaten Mr. Dan- was after
wards prevail* ">yc~ by ,T heaton •
repreeer'stives tdit a second
edition of the same work i»
order, says the Truaine, “to counteract.
the pernicious influence of Mr. Law
rence’s annotations, which were all dic
tated by his devotion to Calhounism.
Lawrence put forth these notes at a time
when the interpretation of the States’
rights doctrine had an important bearing
on the relations between the United
States and England, and it was felt that
he had misconstrued Wheaton in many
important particulars.” When Dana
had published his edition, Lawrence
sued him for infringement of copyright.
On the trial it was proved that Dana had
made copious use of Lawrence’s notes.
The case is still undetermined in the
courts: but the attempt of Mr. Daua to
doctor Lawrence’s States’ rights interpre
tation of Wheaton to suit the Massachu
setts Radicals of the present day, with
Beast Butler’s opposition, has deprived
him of the English mission. Good for
Stales’ rights.
As all the gushers, all the sightseers
and everybody else who can find nothing
better to do with their money, are going
to Philadelphia this year, of course the
criminal classes will be there in force.
The Mayor of the Quaker City antici
pates this, and he is very wisely advo
cating au increase of the police force
during the continuhnce of the exhibition.
Inside the Centennial grounds six hun
dred men will do police duty under the
direction of the Centennial authorities,
but their expenses will not be defrayed
by the city. On the outside the demand
for social protection is increased, and no
preparations have yet been made to meet
it. For several months the city will pos
sess an increased population with multi
plied interests. The thinly-settled por
tions will suddenly become densely popu
lated with considerai le more life and
p-o- erty to look after than at present.
A Philadelphia paper says the thieves are
in the vicinity now, doing a small busi-
"'.zs to pay expenses until the harvest
i seasor arrives, and suggests that a few
hundred vigorous policemen in addition
to the present force would not be too
many to give to these light-fingered and
midnight gentlemen the reception they
deserve.

All Alike.—Wherever, says the Hart
ford Times, the probe is thrust in the
executive departments at Washington,
there is found official corruption. Even
the Pension Office is about as bad as the
rest. Mr. Ingalls, from Kansas, charged
openly in the Staate, a few’ weeks ago,
that at least five millions of dollars is
fraudulently paid out every year on ac •
count of pensions. Eis estimate proves
tc *03 below the reality. This serite
disbursed II. L y.-ar r Cf this
enormous sum 320,2? 5,519 was paid at
the annual rate to pensioners, and $2,-
was claimed to be paid for arrears
on pensions, of v hich no separate account
is kept. The office expenses and disburs
ing agencies consume $1,071,779. It
thus appears that four per cent, on the
total amount pa*.d to annual pensioners is
appropriated for the official machinery to
get the money into their hands. The
Pezision Office, like all other branches of
" the public service, is corrupt, inefficient,
and directed by favoritism. The widows
and orphans of : ldiers are systematically
robbed. TL is utter looseness, cor
ruption and ab mce of accountability.

Investigating in South Carolina.—
The South Carolina Legislature is in the
investigating humor. Committees have
been appointed in the House to investi
gate charges against C. W. Buttz, solici
tor of the Charleston circuit, and Judge
S. -J. Mackey. The Charleston News and
Courier Colombia special soys that the
charges against the former are black
mailing and oorrupt and fraudulent prac
tices in office. Against Mackey the
charges will number over one hundred,
comprehending every crime in the calen
dar, from judicial murder down to tbe
packing of a jury. It is thought that the
Committee of tie House, upon the evi
dence which will be laid before them,
cannot fall to recommend Mackey s im
peachment. In tbe meantime Judge
Montgomery Moses, brother of Chief
Justice Moses, is being tried for various
crimes, with the almost certain prospect
of impeachment.

is mentioned as an iUustration of the old

The^e coin, says the Republican,
pass for five cents, although the
metal in one of them is worth less than
two cents. This depreciated currency is,
in the natural course of things, forced
almost exclusively on the Taboring’ or
poorer classes. The Treasury professes
to be ready to redeem our fractional
paper currency in silver, but no silver
half-dimes are provided to take up the
comparatively worthless nickels. Why is
thir thusness? Do certain parties hold a
monopoly of the only nickel mine in the
country, and was the tariff on that metal
specially designed to “protect” these
monopolists ? Who gets the profit on
making nickels and making them so
abundantly ? Is it all government profit.
Or is it another case of “addition, divis

aud bad his suspicions, but nothing tangible.
He thought it strange that Pendleton
should have his fee cut up, and that the
amount received by Mrs. Bowers should fit
one of the parts. He left the committee
with the impression that he knew some
thing which they had not the shrewdness to
elicit.

Constitution
News.
[From the Buena Vista Argus.]
We do not make it a practice to take
sides in a quarrel between two cotempo
raries, because we do not believe it to be
right. But in the Atlanta Constitution-
8-wanxae News controversy we think
that justice to the injured party demands
* -hat we file our condemnation of the vile
; attempt of the Atlanta Constitution to
j ‘arnish the personal character of Mr.
• T . H. Estill, proprietor of tbe Savannah
I tws.
The Constitution received from Joe
Brown and H. L Kimball five ($5,000)
thousand dollars for its influence in pro
curing the lea<e of the State Road. This
was clearly a bribe and altogether a
“c*ooked” transaction, deserving the
severest condemnation. The Savannah
News discharged its duty to the public
by condemning the unrighteous trans
action. The Constitution, glorying in
its venality, attempts to prove that
J. H. Estill. of the Savannah News, was
equally guilty, but signally fails. Deeply
chagrined at its failure to convict Colonel
Estill, it makes the bold charge that
Colonel J. H. Estill bad, in the conduct
of his business, been guilty of a peniten
tiary offense, and promised rich develop
ments on ihe morrow. On the morrow,
however, the exposures did not appear,
but in their place the following con
temptible evasion:
“Itis proper and just, however, that
we should say, that in charging that the
Savannah News proprietor had been
guilty of a penitentiary offense, we had
reference solely to the procurement of
his election as State Printer, through the
payment of sums to various parties to in
fluence votes in his behalf. This we be
lieve to be in violation of tbe spirit if
not the letter of the law proscribing im
prisonment as the penalty for farming
out the offices of the State. 01 trading in
or for them a violation of the law too
often committed, and which should be
broken up.”
The Constitution was candidate at the
same time for State Printer, and made
use of the samr mean3 to insure its elec
tion, i. e., making combinations with
othei newspapers and dividing the work
so as to insure success. This practice
has been in vogue os far back as we can
remember; and, in our opinion, is per
fectly just, honorable and right, for by it
the newspapers of the State get a portion
of the Printer’s fund, which would other
wise go to one man or firm. Col. Estill
is blameless in this matter, and the true
charpcter of the Atlanta Constitution is
unveiled to the public. It is guilty of
selling its opinions for moneyj slandering
an honest name and as corrupt as a news
paper can be. It is altogether unworthy
of public confidence or patronage.

Heavy Verdict Against an Astob.—
The trial at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., of the
suit of Josephine Ash, by her guardian,
against Henry Astor, who is said to be a
member of the Astor family of New York
city, to recover $20,000 damages for al
leged cruelty to her when a child, where
by her spine was permanently injured,
was concluded on Tnursday by a verdict
in favor of the plaintiff for the full
amount claimed. Mr. Astor denied tbe
charges flatly. The court allowed the
plaintiff *1,000 additional for costs. The
verdict gives general satisfaction to the
ommunity, in which Astor is very un-
prpular.
The charge against Astor was that hav
ing asked the child if she evt r saw him
drunk, she replied in the affirmative,
when he knocked her off the chair on
which she was sitting, causing the injury
which rendered her a cripple for life.
The chief witness for the plaintiff was

to cut the entire sheet of coupons off and
place it in one depository, while the body
of the bond is kept in another. The bond
without the coupons being unsaleable,
and the coupons being collectable only
one by one as they mature, the thief who
fails to secure both gains comparatively
little by his crime, while the true owner,
by proving title to the part which re
mains in his possession, has good ground
for deui&ndiDg from the company issuing
the security a duplicate of the other.
The New York Sun says this plan is
already followed by numbers of capital
ists.
Hulleck, the man who stole, or rather
helped to steal, a package of $47,000
from the United States Treasury, has
been tried and convicted. Halleck had
a confederate, but was not one of the
ring. Had he belonged to the District
ring, or the whisky riDg, or the trading
post ring, he would no more have been
convicted than was Babcock, although
the evidence against him had been as
conclusive as that against the ex-private
secretary. It all depends upon a govern
ment thief’s affiliations, whether, being
tried for his offenses, he will be acquitted
or convicted.
Jay Gould, the speculator, reports
over seven millions profits on tbe busi

Because it is neither in accordance
with his principles nor his interest to

THE BISHOP OF PADERBOF.N.
London, March 21.—The Pall Mall Qa-

Paderboru’s unexpected departure from

the Prussian Government to the Dutch
Government for either his extradition or e
pulsion. The dtm&nd was promptly acted
upon, the Dutch Minister or Justice giving
tbe necessary orders at once to the State
Procurator, who called upon the Bishop,
without stating any reasons, to quit the
kingdom within a fortnight,and threatening
extradit on if he failed t.o comply. The
Bishop left on Saturday and proceeded to

The diplomatic and consular appropria

Congress, a controversy which has existed

toric interest. The property is considered
to be worth much more than one million

FROM MEXICO.
Galveston, March 21.—The News's
Brownsville special contains tho following:
A dispatch received to-day from
Rio Grande city states that news had been
received there of a battle at Oaxaca in
Mexico, in which the government forces
were defeated, with tho loss of one thou
sand five hundred men, aud all their artil
lery and wagons captaied. No further par
ticulars were to hand. The news comes
over the Mexican Government wires to
Camargo, and may be considered reliable.
Another social from Brownsville to the
Neics says the revolution on the Rio Grande
progresses slowly. Gonzales and Pena are
still near Matamoras, and Leberra, with a
small force, remains iu the city, bat is sbon
of ammunition, having yesterday requested
of Colonel Poiter a loan of five hundred
ponnds of powder which was refused. It is
said Leberra baa been ordered to pro
ceed with all his men to Monterey to
join Tuero, which will leave Caipo in
charge of a national guard who will
doubtless pronounce in favor of Diaz as
soon as tho regular troops leave, and Diaz
will take quiet possession. It is doubtful
!l Leberra will reach Monterey withauy part
.f his forces, as the revolutionists have
,tj:ong bodies of men, well officered, on all
the roads leading to Monterey. The un
popularity of president Lerdo’s official acts
make the overthrow ot the government
party on the frontier almost a certainty.
THE COLUMBIA IMPEACHMENT TRIALS.

HOOKS OF PIANO
The naval pension fund appears in the
public debt statement every mouth at
$18,000,000, which bears thxee per cent, j
interest. This fund was originally
created by an act of Congress of 1790, I
which set apart the government’s share '
of all prize money for that fund, t ie in
terest of which was to be used for the
benefit r * disabled officers and seamen
and the widows of those who died from
wounds receive4 in the line of duty.
Prior to 18f}8 this fund bore six per cent,
interest, but it was then reduced to the
present rate, which yields $540,000 a
year. In consequence of this reduction
the rates of pension paid were also re
duced, being cut down over one-third,
^wf) there ho* always been complaint at
the small pittance paid to many worthy
pensioners. At the present session of
CongreBS, petitions have been presented
for an increase in these naval pensions,
and the subject is now before the Pension
Committee of each house.
