note respecting the American case before the
Geneva arbitration is expected to arrive in
about ten days. From the intimatons which
have already been received regarding the CON-

on the whole, inconclusiye to the extent that
it settles nothing nor reaches any FINAL deter

of the points in dispute, and indicates

Tuesday Afternoon, April 2s.
cUrrINo ElREYE-TERrH RATHER LATE,

The good people Of Germantown open their
ewes at the antics of their State Senator, Colonei
Mcclure. When the election was pending, he de-
clared, under circumstances that made the de-
claration pledge Of honor, that he recognized
the very general preference of the Republicans
of the district for the reelection of President
Grant, and that, il chosen Senator, he should
feel bound to respect it This pledge no doubt
gained him hundreds of votes indeed he felt it
necessary to make such promise. in order to
have any chance Of election, weak as was his
opponent, the regular Republican candidate.
In the face Of such an understanding, here is
this gallant insoncidnt, free lance in public life,
and professional expert in the business OF poli-
tics, engaged in the most desperate effort,
not merely to defeat President Grants re-
nomination by the Philadelphia Convention,
but to split the Republican Party, in Pennsylva-
mia. and prevent the election of any candidate
nominated BY the Republicans let him be whom
he NAV. In other words Mcclure is found at
the lead of the speckled squad OF sore-heads,
broken-heads, and chuekle-heads, who arc now
doing their little worst to break down the Re-
publican Party, in Pennsylvania, under the ridi-
culous pretence that they are Liberal Repub-
licans.
Now this is just what was to have been ex-
pected In electing Mcclure, the greater of two
evils was chosen. Gray was an Objectionable
candidate, il only on account of his personal
unpopularity, but to prefer Mcclure was piece
of folly, which very few weeks has fully dis
covered to those who committed it. Nor ought
they to have been deceived. Colonel Mcclure
had been often in public life, and had nevel
signalized himself as a friend Of reform. On The
contrary, in the course Of his long service a
Harrisburg, he had gained tie reputation, Ger
tainly not entirely without deserving it, of being
shrewd manipulation of legislation in the service
Of private interests, and his name was seldom, i
ever, found in opposition to Job"
These we're facts well known. The Philadel
phia newspapers knew them well. "Aleck
Mcclure had notoriously run the machine a
Harrisburg, for years, just as Colonel Gray
friends recently have done, and to elect him as
rigid, high-toned, pure-principl.d, Performer
was joke, indeed However, he was elected
in spite of the absurdity, and now the Philadel
phia journals and the Germantown Republicans
find that they have cut their eys-teeth rathe

A FRIENDLY INQUIRY ANSWERED.

After noticing the delivery of Miss Dckin-
sons political lecture on I'VE, the People in
which she disapproves President Grant, just as
she did President Lincoln, the GaEe,te, of this
city, asks
" Will the manager of the Peoples Course in
vite Miss Dickinson here to lecture on We, the
People, before the Spring season passes Z:
In answer. we will say that recently, Mise
Dickinson, in business note to the manager OF
the Peoples Course suggested that she give
her new lecture, above named, and added the
question, Are you Grant man.
In reply, the individual addressed said, in sub
stance: @ am nobody's man. But ninety-ive
one hundredths of the Republicans Of the coun'
try desire President Grants reelection, believ
ing him the best President (making no compar'
ison with Lincoln) we have had for forty years
and agree with them
Having thus expressed his views to Miss Dick
nson, herself the writer is not likely to ask hel
or any other opponent Of President Grant to de
liver political diatrbe against him. We honol
Miss Dickinson's character, and admire he
abilities, but her Judgment does not always com
msnd our respect. We thought her very wrong
in her severe criticism Of Lincoln we now thinl
her wrong again.

The poisoning Of three little children and the
subsequent death Of two of them. at Riddles
Banks, last Friday, has since caused much COM
ment and speculation in regard TO the peculiar
tiles Of the case
Reports are prevalent that the poisoning was
the malicious design of some inhuman wretch
who bore hatred to the parents of the children
This, however cannot be considered reliable.
and very probably was put into circulation by
some sensatonalist, in order to give spice to the
common gossip concerning the affair.
The fact that Mr. McIntyre has had cattle and
chickens poisoned by some unknown enemy, az
we are informed has been the case, could hardly
be taken as an evidence that such criminal
could possibly be guilty Of such tiendish act as
the numbering of number of children, in order
to satiate desire TO obtain foolish revenge.
The whole affair is, apparently, wrapped il
mystery, and it is doubtful if any ordinary inves
tigation would reveal the true state of the case
But that the case should be fully ventilated and
investigated there is not the shadow of doubt
/ aud such a proceeding should be assisted in by
the parents of the children and all others who
might possibly throw any light upon the sui
| iect.
