LAST WEEK, George III. Williams,
Grants Attorney General, rendered
his resignation, TO take effect on the
18th of May. This retirement of Will
liams from the cabinet has given rise
20 q great deal of speculation touching
it's true cause. The reason which i'm
PEELED him thus to take time by the
fOrelock was doubtless a firm convic-
tion that one of the very first acts of
the next House of Representatives will
be the appointment of 2 committee to
make full and thorough investigation
ofhoW and for what purposes Williams
has disbursed the enormous appropri-
ations made by Congress, at his re-
quest, to carry on the Department Of
Justice over which he presides. That
it has been shamefully corrupt was
plainly established before a committee
at the recent session. OF course, Grant
will furnish Williams with a certificate
of good character. He did that for
Tom Murphy when he was driven from
the New York Custom House by the
sheer force Of public opinion, and did
not hesitate to confer the same favor
on Alexander r. Shepherd the cor
rupt chief of the Washington Ring.
1t is his way of doing things. and 1t
will not he withheld from Williams,
who has been the head and front of
Grants repressive and vindictive poll
cv towards Louisiana and other South
ern States
1t was reported and believed, few
days ago, that Delano, snufiing the
coming storm, was also about to lay
down the cares of the Interior Depart
ment. He says, however, that he will
not do so just now. No branch of the
government is so rich in plumber and
: fraud as the Indian Department, which
is managed and controlled by the Sec
retary of the Interior, and it is safe to
/ predict that when Congress meets next
/ December, Columbus Delano will be q
/ private citizen of Mt. Vernon, Ohio.

THE LETTER Boss GRANT SHOULD
wRJrE.-Loud calls for remarks from
Grant on the Third Term subject are be-
ginning to come from unexpected quarters.
The Boston journal and Providence Jour-
nal would like to have him say just word
one little s'no," or something to that ef-
feet. Perhaps he will decide to crafty
them and then if he should finally decide
to become a candidate next year, he could
write letter to his friends, running some
thing like this:
Wearicd By opportunities and weakened
BY the result of the Connecticut election, |
gave a letter relnquishing the Third Term
under assurance that it would remove all
difficulties between me ana my party. That
letter now revoke. | was persuaded to
do il. almost forced, when was in weak
ened state of mind. | regret and recall its
statements. L. S. @.

THE difficulty which fs sometimes
encountered in courts it getting Wit
ness, even though he be Henry Ward
Beeeher himself, to give a direct an
ever TO plain question, was never
more completely illustrated than In
that portion OF his croes-examinatior.
last week by Ex-Jufge Fullerton, in
reference to Mrs. Emma ID. Moulton
having kissed Beecher on certain oc-
casion in her own house, to which her
attention, had been called by Mr. Evarts,
one of Beecher's counsel. In order to
distinguish hGt particular kiss from
his 6aily practical experience III the
same line of amusement, Beecher, IN
his direct evidence, had POLITICALLY term
ed it a kiss of inspiration" The fol-
lowing were the questions put by ui-
ierton and the answers given oy beecn-
er:
o.-When was it that Mrs. Mouiton gave
vow this kiss of Inspiration as you term
itP At vas Saturday night, the 3lst of
May.
MIR. Moulton's study.
Odd you lie down rpon the sofa then?
NO, sir L WAS sitting al the table at the
time.
Q-But were you At any zine during that
evening lying upon the sofa? A--So, SIR ];
j know I was not.
Q-Yonr recollection Is positive upon that?
At il very positive.
C.-You can distinguish between that WIS
ii and all the other visits? A.-That visit
stamped itself very iBielibly on my mind
in regard TO such features as recoIect:
O-Do YOU recolleCt that " hen Mrs Nou!-
to,, was on The. stand she WAS asked the
question by your counsel whe her she Kissed
Won on that occasion Al heard but a
part of her testimony.
O.-pid you hear that? Al don't re-
collect whether did or not, sir.
O-WaS not Mrs. Moulion asked in your
presence in regard to kissing you Al
cannot now say whether she was asked IN
my presence and learned it from hearing
her. or whether l read it in the testimony
aud learned il so.
Q-Ditln't YOU suggest to your couDsei to
ask that question? Al may be that did.
Q.-DOn't you recolIectihat you did? A
l think GU are helping my memory a little:
Won and together will get it out. 1 have
an impression that 1 did ask my counsel,
aud therefore that iuust have heard it.
Q--DIdn't yOu write il on slip OF paper
and hand il to him? A.-Yes, sir, [ think
so Whether whispered IL or wrote ii upon
a piece of paper / would not say now. Ms
IN. preston is that did suggestit, and there
fore L must have heard it.
Thus at last Fullerton succeeded in
forcing an unwilling admission from
Beecher that he had prompted Lis
counsel to ask Mrs. Moulton about her
angelic kiss Of inspiration"

Eleven years ago, says an exchange,
Mr.. Chauncey Lewis, of Union. Erie coun-
ty, lost his pocket book containing 81, 800
in notes and currency. Two years after
ward he received a letter enclosing him
the notes and securities amounting to near
ly $1,000. Last week Father Lonergan, Of
Cory, sent for him and handed him $3.50
in currency, the same identical money that
was in his pocket book at the time he lost
it. The pocket book had been picked ND
by man in his employ. Catholic, whom
he did not suspect of dishonesty, and for
eleven years the unhappy thief wrestled
with his conscience until he could keep his
guilty secret no longer, and confessed it to
Father Lonergen.

THE tenth section of the new license
law provides that person licensed to
sell liquors shall give bonds in the
sum Of 80, coo, with two sureties to be
approved by the court, conditioned
to pay all damages which may be re-
covered in any action which NAV be
instituted against Linn under the pro-
visions of this act, and all costs, fines
and penalties which NAV be imposed
upon him in any indictment for viola
ting this act, or any other law of this
commonwealth relating to selling or
furnishing Intoxicating drinks"
If the terms of this law are properly
observed and enforced by the courts
of the commonwealth, says the Harris
burg Patriot, it will have a powerful
tendency to improve the condition of
the liquor traffic by largely changing
the personnel of dealers. The eleventh
section of the law provides that sit
shall not be lawful for any person, with
or without license, to sell anv person
any Intoxicating drink on any day on
which elections are now, or hereafter
may he required to be held, nor on
Sunday, nor at any time to minor,
or to person visibly affected by in
toXicating drinks" 1t will be very
difficult for persons of VIGOROUSLY bad
habits, under such restrictions, to find
property holders who will be willing
to run the gauntlet Of surety against
infractions of the liquor laws of the
State, and we hope for the most salu-
tarv reform in consequence. There
having been some question as to the
requirements of the new law, in the
case OF keepers of restaurants and beer
saloons applying for license under it,
Judge Ross, of Montgomery county,
has decided that they must give the
same security as applicants for hotel
LICENSE.

II is claimed by certain papers pub
lished west of the \ allegheny mountains,
that the next Democratic candidate
for Governor ought as matter OF right
to be taken from that section of the
State. It is the same old parrot cry
in favor of location or sectiOnalsm, re-
gardless of considerations of fitness for
the Office or strength with the people
Standing by itself, it is the assertion
of q blind preference for q local candi-
date, to be followed perhaps by defeat,
rather than success with a nominee
from another section. Can any man
satisfactorily explain why the western
portion of the State is better entitled
to the candidate than the eastern, north
crn. or southern ? All other things
being equal, such n demand would be
entitled TO respect, but of its mere self,
il is false and absurd in national. State,
or county politics. The only argu
ment, If iJ could be called such, in fa-
yor Of it would be the fact that since
1860 the west has not furnished can
Gidats. But even if it had, lie would
have been defeated just az Woodward
Clymer, Packer and Buckalew were
We cannot Of course anticipate the ac-
tion of the Erie convention, but we
have very decided notion that if the
convention understands it's business.
as we think it will, it will not select q
man simply because he resides and
pgy5 taxes III a particular part OF the
State. If the west can supply can
date OF admitted qualification and un-
doubted integrity-one who can not
enly poll the undivided vote of the
Democratic party, but also the conser-
v2tive Republican vote, because that
will be necessary to insure success
it will be the plain duty of tue conyen-
tion TO nominate him. If it cannot. it
pust look for such man elsewhere.

'IF w- could appoint the Speaker from
thu whole body Of American people, we
would select Samuel J. Randall"
The foregoing elegant extract is taken
from a gushing article i'll paper pub
lished in the tar and turpentine State.
1t is praise indeed, and is the most ex
travagant compliment that we rcmem-
ber ever having seen bestowed on a
member of Congress from this or any
other State Its editor was determin-
ed not to be outdone bv his Democrat
ic brethren in the Keystone State in
the expression Of his profound admir-
alton for the brilliant Congressional
achievene ents Of Pennsylvania's second
"iayorite SON" who unfortunately hap
pens in this instance to have been one
Of the foremost champions of the back
pay swindle. To such base uses have
we come at last. Let us suppose for
n moment that this rose and expec-
fancy Of the State should shuttle off
this mortal coil before the meeting of
thenext Congress. What then! Sim
ply to do the next best thing, and that
would be to elect his executor. There
would be no other alternative, and be-
sides thi. the r 5commendatIou has a
precedent upon which to rest. When
Henry Clay, in l84l, was defeated for
the Presidency by James X. Polk, an
enthusiastic but dusgusted admirer Of
the great Kentucky statesman assert
ed, in language more vigorous than
polite, that it was the solemn duty of
the Wing party to run Clay as its can
didate every four years, and If he was
unsuccessful, then. after his death, as a
mark of its undying devotion to him,
to nominate and try its luck with one
Of his executors. His advice was not
followed but in Randall's case it might
be adopted if the contingency above
referred 70 sbould happen. 1t would
simplify the matter wonderfully.
