The inexcusable language of abuse applied by
the New York World to the late Thaddeus Stevenb
is shown by recent testimony before the Wilson
Credit Mobilier Committee. Hon. o. j. Dickey,
ofLancaster, who was for many years Mr. Stevens
law partner, and is the executor of his will ap.
peared and showed the utter falsity of the charge
on which the World based its assumptions of the
dead patriots corruption. The story was that
he received $4,000, in bonds, as a bride from
the Union Pacific Railroad Company, and Mr..
Dickey shows that there was never the slightest
justification for such calumny.

The city of Reading holds its municipal cleo
ton, to-day, and there seems to be warm con-
test over the Mayoralty. The Democrats have
re-nominated the present incumbent, Mr.. VIM.
H. Gernand, and the Republicans, very worthy
and popular citizen, Mr.. Charles F. Evans. The
Times, Of recent date, shows that during the
time the Democrats have had control of the city,
since 1866, the debt has been increased some
S270,OOO, which looks like heavy loading up,
though after all the vital point in regard to it is
whether the money was judiciously spent. Debts
are unavoidable in the youth Of enterprising CT
ties as the outset Of energetic business mans
career, but the great matter is to incur them

His acquaintance say he was insane.

The Democratic State Convention at
Hartford, Connecticut, yesterday nomi-
mated Charles r. Ingersoll for Governor
and George S. Gill, Liberal Republican,
for Lieutenant Governor, by aeelama-
ton. The resolutions adopted are OF
interest at this time, because the Demo
cratic party is so seldom heard from.
They begin by declaring the Democratic
marty to be based on the principles Of
the Constitution declared at Cincinnati
and Baltimore, arraigning the admins
tration for the use Of the pardoning
mower in the interest Of ballot-box stuff
fng; for striking down faithful cabinet
officer to please a corrupt ring, and re-
tanning one who pays to greedy cormo-
rants money belonging to the people,
Cor using the army to crush the rights oil
the States; arraiguing the Vice President
for his completely with the Credit Mo

for sQuandering public lands and for
corruption in elections; denouncing the
interference of the Federal Office hold
ers. from the President down, in politi-
cal affairs belonging to the States, and
creating State Legislatures by Executive
decree; welcoming Spain to the sister
hood of republics, believing freedom to
Cuba would be the result; eulogizing
Horace Greeley and lamenting his DEATH
denouucing the repeal of usury laws;

TINT Blessed Baby.

Our reporter, while INDUCING in pc
destrianism, yesterday afternoon, in
search of items, strolled into the Chan
Gerry Courtroom in order to swap stories
with the Deputy Clerk. a divorce case,
seemingly of little importance, was pro-
crossing. A woman sought divorce
from her husband who had abandoned
her. An old lady was on the witness
stand and detailed the facts concerning
the marriage and abandonment, but de-
string to reveal the whole truth, she
added something about an infant child.
/" / am through with the witness" said
the petitioners attorney. But l am
not, said the Chancellor; these parties
had no children; let the witness tell all
she knows about that child" The old
lady, after protesting that she intended
to tell everything and spare no one, told
the story of human frailty, and gave the
history Of that blessed baby who was
not born in wedlock. The Chancellor
took the papers, stating that be had
heard q sufficient amount of the testi-
mony, and will announce his decision in
due course of time.

ADJUSTMENTS.


MEMPHIS TnEATRR Whose Vile, q
domestic but rather tame drama, was re-
peaied last evening. Miss Gray who
takes the leading role, is quite a pleasing
actress aud makes a very favorable i'm
preston upon a Memphis audience.
Memphis audiences may not be fully ed
ucated up 10 the concert or operate
schools, but in the legitimate drama
business they are most critical The
very best critiques on actors and plays
can be heard in the galleries-couched.
probably, in strong languages but like
Mollieres old housekeeper, the gallery
reflects instinctively the popular taste
aud appreciation. Had we to write a
close criticism on play we should
avoid the dress circle and seek the gods
for inspiration aud information. To-
night very charming play, Frou Frou,
will be presented. II is Of the Camille
school-pathetic and suggestive and
will no doubt attract quite a large audi
ence.
GRAND OPERA HOUSE. - The Red
Pocket-Book was repeated last evening
at the Opera House. The drama is of
the French school, and consequently
sensational, and Astounding in thrilling
situations. Joseph Proctor appears to
much advantage as Maurice" the es-
capped galley slave. The play has been
we'll received by the public, and will be
repeated tonight Tomorrow evening
there will be a change of programme,
Nick of the Woods being on the bills.
In this character Mr.. Proctor is justly
celebrated, it being his specially.
OLYMPIC THEATER.-The only variety
show in the city is that controlled by
Manager Buchanan on Washington
street. Tonight the great attraction,
Mile Aline LaFavre, will introduce her
celebrated Can.Can troupe. The Can
Can will be presented in manner
unknown outside Of Paris. LaFavre
dances the Can-Can with grace and
abandon well calculated to create aston
ishment and pleasure. Among the new
stars may be mentioned Miss Ophelia
Starr, danseuse; Miss Allie Love, vocal
ist; Mr.. John Manning, character actor;
and Mile Alice Gilbert, aerial queen.
Twenty-Five performers appear nightly
at the Olympic, forming a corps Of va
riety artists unequaled in the Southwest.

THRrr or four members u the Kan.
sas Legislature testified before the Com
miilee on Pomeroys case at Washing
ton yesterday that they we're approached
by Pomeroy's friends and offered money
in sums ranging from one 70 i've thou
sand dollars for their votes. None OF
them accepted or directly refused. The
offers we're made by Pomeroy's strikers
in direct terms. One Of them said;
" Business is business, you know. This
money was stolen from the Government,
any how, and you might Ne well have
some of il as not while it is goDg,' or
words TO that effect. One Of the strikers
was Judge Horton, who is Pomeroy's
counsel. But as Pomeroy's time ex-
pires next month, aud he was not re-
elected or likely ever to be to any great
extent, what is the use Of investigating

body knows by this time that he is a

money and put it in his pOcketbOOk

reason he wanted to divide out among

to have been under such enormous

It having been suspected by the Chief
Of Police that the burglars who robbed
the residence of Amos Woodruff last
Tuesday night would probably leave on
the Louisville train yesterday, detective
Walsh was detailed to arrest them.
Walsh boarded the train, spotted his two
birds, took a seat near them; but while
the train was in rapid motion, the
birds" walked to the platform aud
leaped of. Walsh arrested an innocent
third party, it always being necessary
to arrest some one when blunder is
made. This Jumping from trains hap
pens too often; it used to create sensa-
ton at one time, but now it only creates
laughter at the expense Of the bungling
detective who was unable TO arrest a
man when he had his hands on him, and
that too in a train running rapidly.
These escapes create suspicion.

A NEW experiment in journalism IL
about to be made in New York. II is
nothing less than a daily illustrated
evening paper. The first number will
appear on the LIST of March in quarto
form. The projectors have a half mil
lion dollars to back them, and have
erected a magnificent building adapted
to their purposes, and filled with the
finest presses and latest improvements
in the art Of printing, engraving, litho-
graphy, etc. They promise to give
three and half pages of fine pictures
daily, illustrating local events and CIV
ing cartoons, views Of public buildings
and reproductions Of choice foreign pic
lures, all at FIVE cents per copy. The
system of engraving is something new,
invented in Canada. If this ven
ture is successful, it will make a revOlu'
ton in journalism.

The Cincinnati Commercial, which led
off CALAMITY in denouncing those short
minded statesmen at Washington who
bought so much Credit Mobilier stock
without knowing it, has, as usual,
switched of the main track AID called
for general halt. First we notice CO.
pious extracts from Republican papers
whitewashing Colfax as the worst in
jured man in the country. Then the
Commercial, seeing that the inveshga-
ton will not expel anybody except per
haps Ames and Brooks, concludes that
Ames is not what he ought TO be, and
that the whole affair has been exagger-
ated. That is the tune now to be played
in camp until the national disgrace is
hushed up and public attention directed
to something else. And that will be the
end of it.

Now that Spain has some little home
affairs to attend to, the Cuban patriots
are taking new hope, and large collec-
tons are pouring into the headquarters
at New York for their benefit. The
Spanish authorities at Havana have
notified New York merchants trading in
Cuban ports that if they contribute any,
thing to the cause Of the Cuban insur
gents their ships viii be swept from the
sea. This comes with true Spanish in.
science, and we hope that the time may
not be far distant when it can be re,
sented, and the last vestige of Spanish
power swept from the beautiful island
they have so long held by brute force.
