STtNHOPE IN A NEW ROLE.

srS DO him the Justice 10 say that this IA the
tr.t and only occasion on which he has failed to
r,reto time. and believe also that these rea-
,. rl lch follow are, he hopes, his all-suficient
t,s,iarstion for any delay beyond tho time
oaued Since writing, as before stated, the
meeting appointed at Jersey City came OF a.
arranged In Taylor's Hotel. His Bxcellency Joel
Parker aud most Of those present at the former
conference we're present, and in addition to
these, AttOrney General OF State Gllchrlst put
IN his appearance, a. have reason to believe, at
lhe suggestion Of the Governor. II must be
confessed that the Governor-whatover his pri-
tate wishes and feelings in regard Of the Stan
hope affair may be has felt no small degree OF
embarrassment since Stanhope first had the
suN-hght poured upon II. No one here in New
Jersey doubts for one moment-whateyer may
be his political afilliatlons-the entirely scrupu-
lous honesty Of the Governor. On that subject
he has no matter of doubt himself. and a charge
Of dishonesty he would scarcely consider worthy
Of his lightest scorn. But this Is where the shoe
pinches: The Governor is a weIl-read and con-
siders himself thoroughbred, Jersey lawyer,
and no Jersey limb Of the law was ever yet
known to confess that David Paul Brown or any
other Philadelphia pleader lay over him very
much. Besides. this Ia the second time the Hon.
loci has been made Governor and he took the
oprartunity to tell us In his Inaugural here that
le was the FIRST man who had ever been so hon
orcd. And now what troubles his ENcellency Is
to know how that bill ever got away from him
with HE good and honest signature affixed to IT,
and yet he Is as ignorant "a any gamin In Tren-
wrappcd up In 20 small a piece Of sheepskin
lie feels therefore, no small degree Of scnsl-

awkward position ia which IL has placed him Is

rHE NuNBER OF CARDS IN THE PACK.
iou see, Il have not counted over the fingers
are thirteen QN cards in the pack with which
these jersey Chinee played against the Hon.
Tom; or, 10 drop metaphor and speak in plain
language which all the young men In Philadel-
Thta who belong TO moral associations may
understand there are 13l thirteen different char
Of them. 1he fellows who were in the game
understand the philosophy Of little by little, and
Stanhope was only the last card that had to he
Euyed' and you may bet II was played well.
The chain from New York TO Philadelphia was
most essential-link OF stanhope was added aud
the work for which every body in Jersey, less nye
per cent, had been wishing for and the pious
ones praying for, and the gay gamboliers, like
Gn- Csnaeld, gambling for, was at last accom-
