NEW York. August 22.-Michael
Broderick, who has been drinking for
some days past, quarreled this morn
ing with his mother-in-law, at their
residence, 81 Carmine street. One of
Broderick's daughters became alarmed
at his violence, called to her brothers
in an adjoining room to save their
grandmother. James. aged nineteen,
ran into the room and endeavored TO
take his father away, when the latter
turned upon the youth and stabbed
him fatally. Another brother, John,
now came upon the scene, and was in
turn stabbed by the maddened father,
though not fatally. The cries of the
family and the Heighbors attFaetedthe
police who, after a great struggle,
succeeded in pinioning Broderick and
taking him to the station-house, ,lwhere
he expressed himself ignorant of any
quarrel or murder having taken place.
Owing. to her beating and the excite.
ment, the old grandmother lies in
critical condition. Broderick and his
sons are cartmen, and, because of IL
quor, were frequently quarreling.

THE N Y. Sun cautions the coun-
try against placing implicit faith in
the dispatches coming from the In
dian Territory regarding disturbances
among the Cherokees. 'There has
undoubtedly been some trouble there,
but it is very evident that there is q
disposition to exaggerate the difficult
ties which have occurred. Congress
having voted away to land monopo-
lists about, all the public lands in the
United States that are worth having,
desperate attempt is now making to
rob the friendly tribes in the Indian
Territory of their lands for the benefit
of spectators under the pretence of
establishing a Territorial form of
government over them. The scheme
has been repeatedly defeated in Com
gress, but there are indications that it
will be urged with unusual yigor at
the next session, and that it will have
the active support OF the. Admins
tration, which is the humble servant
of wealthy corporations. Any dis.
turbance which may occur within the
limits of the Territory in the mean
time viii doubtless be magnifed as
much as possible in order to create
the impression that the Indians are
suffering for want of a different form
of government" -, 50 '''.

The corruption which has existed
so long in New Y ork q City among
customI officers and those filing other
offices bids fair to be abated, in a
measure at least. The Secretary of
the Treasury has sent by a special
messenger to Collector Arthur, of
that port, an order for. the immediate
removal of nearly one hundred GUS
tom officers, some Of them occupying
responsible places, ion a charge Of
fraud and corruption, and that the
dismissal of another lot of dishonest
officers is expected in few days.
The next thing that should be done is
to replace these officers by honest
men, and not by those who may prove
as corrupt as those who have been
removed. 500 a a5

The Radical papers and stumpers
talk fippantly about their desire to
maintain 1.-THE fruits of the war;
Just what it means by that it is diff
cult to comprehend. Is It to maintain
the power to plunder the people at
will2 Is it to maintain the right to
tax one portion of the people-the
laboring-preducing maryland to ex-
empt the privileged wealthy bond
holders? Is it TO contiDue the pFac-
tice of taxing everything the people
eat, drink aud wear, for the ostensi-
BILE purpose of putting a few millions
of dollars into the public Treasury.
but really to add hundreds of mil
lions to the Golfers of IordlY manu-
facturers at the expense of the labor
ing masses2 Is it TO perpetuate a
system of banking which taxes the
people S25, 100000 in gold annually to
pay the interest on the bonds de-
posted to secure circulation, when
the Government could furnish just as
good a currency and thereby save
the entire amount of that tax? Is it
to support the President in. the exer-
else of his usnrped authority to over
throw the governments of the, States
established by the people thereof,
and to appoint thieves and carpet
baegers to rule over them, and main :
tain them in power by the use OF
Federal bayonets ? 42+i s3a-i4
If that is what is meant by 'spre-
serving the fruits of the war" it is a
luxury the people viii do well to dis
pense with And that is all there is
of It, for there are no other "fruits' of
the war" over which there is, any COM
troversy- Does any one doubt which
party tits that desires to perpetuate
these unjust and unequal privileges,
to preserve this bitter and unpleas-
ant fruit +, 6aE s,s..g.i.-a r. I. +:

A VERY grave objection urged by
the Radicals against the election of
Hon. William Allen for Governor is
the fact that in 1910, when he was in
the United States Senate and Harri-
son was running for President on the
Whig ticket, he said some rather hard
things of the General. tits true that
David. Tod and John Brongh, both
elected Governors by the Republican
party. said just as hard things of Gem
eral Harrison in 1S40 as Colonel Allen
did, but then they afterward turned
Republicans, and Allen didn't. That
makes all the difference in the world.

Another Radical Patriot in a pickle.

Senator Carpenter, the great high
cockalorum of the party possessing
all the intelligence, !t;hc piety and
all the morality IN the country-he
whom the Radicals have elected Pres
ident pro tenn OF the Senate of the
United States he who came the ear
Iiest to the defense of Grant and the
grabbers for their salary plunder, on
the ground that the $500 additional
compensation voted to members
would enable them TO take their
wives to Washington, and thus save
them from the wiles OF wicked wo-
men, has apparently got himself into
most unpleasant and awkward
serape. 1t is related of him that upon
a, recent visit tolLong Branch, not
withstanding' his $1,000 back pay, he
did not take with him his wife, but
chose rather as his companion du u0y-
.age notorious courtesan, and at
tempted to obtain admission with her
to one of the ffrst-class hotels of that
famous resort; but the proprietor re-
fused to, entertain such a character,
Eeven when conveyed byiapious, pa
triotic and "Christian statesman. ,
The affair has grown into colossal
scandal, but the administration prints
have not one word to say in condem-
nation of the Senator's conduct, nor
do they or he have a word TO say in
defense of the affair. Had the Demo-
Gratis been in power and had they
elected such a man to the third office
of the government what a howl of
righteous indignation would have
gone forth from the presses of the
party of '.great moral ideas" '#
The EUeaing< Wisconsin, the home
organ of the Senator, has got after
him, and says the charges are too
grave to pass unnoticed. They are
uttered by journals of ample pecuni-
liary responsibility, and they can be
made toisuffer most seriously if they
have given currency to reports that
are false and libellous, and the con-
stituents Of the senator have a right
to know the truth. If they are false,
personal malevolence coud go no
| further, and a jury would award such
damages as would be a lesson to all
ture Journalists. The people demand
| that the Senator of their choice should
vindieate his character" Mr.. Carpen-
ter has heavier weight now to carry
than the salary grab. The question is
/ what will he do with it? .sa 8. a.a4
