THE MOLLY MAGUIRE MURDER TRIALS.

TIE trial OF the Molly Mcguire murderers
at Pottsville continues to attract much at
tention, particularly throughout the anthra-
cite coal fields. The five first arrested for
the murder of policeman Yost were conf
dent of acquittal until they heard the evi.
dence os McParlan, the Pinkerton detective,
who went to Schuylkill county, and staid
there, joining the murderous Mollies in
April, 1874, since which time he has lived
and associated with them for the purpose of
ferreting out their crimes. The trial is not
yet concluded, out there is little hope for the
prisoners, unless McParlan's evidence is con-
tradicted. Mrs. Kerrigan, wife of the man
who made the confessions as to the murder,
was sworn, and said Kerrigan left home on
the evening Of July 9th, having a loaded
pistol in his possession, and that he didnot
return until the morning following, when he
told her he had shot Yost. 1t will be re-
membered that Kerrigan swore or stated in
his confession the Mcclellan and Boyle, did
the shooting, and that he merely led them
to the mountains subsequently. Mrs. Kerri-
gan is the first witness yet produced to prove
that Kerrigan ever admitted to any one that
he committed the deed The first part of
her testimony, however, corroborates that OF
Kerrigan.
There are now eighteen of the Molies in
the Pottsville Jail, in all Oh charges OF
murder.
These arrests have created great commo-
ton, and many more will doubtless follow.
Other detectives, il is said have been in the
society and when the proper time comes will
also testify. The whole internal working.
of the gang is being exposed, and the order
will doubtless be thoroughly crushed. Tn,
Pottsville Standard says of the trials: "Tht
criminals now ON trial may be safely left t.
the tender mercies of the law, and afte
justice has avenged her cause, the future
may be reasonably expected to take care o
itself There can be no mistaking the tempe
of the public mind on this question. Th
law has once more asserted its majesty il
Schuylkill county, aud the sanctity of hu
man life will hereafter be recognized by al
classes OF our population more completed,
than it has been for the last twenty years"
The illness of one OF the jurors has de
layed the trial and should he not recover, tn
whole thing will have to be gone over again
After the testimony that has been given,
would be impossible to get another jury i
Schuylkill county in which case there wi
probably be change Of venue. The CO,
to the County is already estimated at SlO(

CABINET CHANGES.

Grant has again surprised not only the
nation, but his own party and intimate
friends by nominating Attorney General
Pierrepont to be Minister to England,
Secretary of War Taft to fill his place, and
]. Don Cameron q son of Simon Cameron.
to be Secretary of War. These unexpected
appointments towards the close of Grants
of the Republican National Convention,
have a deep Significance, and have set poll
tcans to pondering. 1t is not because he
has simply made a change, because he has
done that so often, that few can remember
who the different members of his Cabinet
have been. 1t is also note worthy that his
appointees heretofore have beeh weak or
unknown men.
The question is, why should these particu.
lar men be appointed at this particular time.
Pierrepont, although he did not figure to ad-
vantage in the whisky trials, will make a
passable Embassador, and is certainly an
improvement on the now dsgraced Schenck.
Judge Taft will be somewhat at home in the
prove to be creditable officer.
But then comes Don Cameron as Secretary
of Wharf.-The manipulation of Pennsylvania
politics, the leader of the Treasury Ring
and the head of the Pennsylvania delega-
ton to Cucinnatti He sought Cabinet
appointment before, was sDubbed, and from
that date to this, he, and his father, have
borne secret enmity to Grant. In fact so
far was this carried that in previous State
Convention Hartranft received instructions
been patched up, aud that Grant not only
proposes to use the Pennsylvania delegation,
but to haze at The head Of tie Var Department
an unscrupulous ieadsr. The effect will be
twofold that unless they obey the wishes
of the President, the army and patronage
their main dependence--will be withheld
and Democratic success will be assured
They may be told that obedience will be
quick to act. 1t is threat of Grant or
Conklng on one side, or Democratic success
ON the other. Those VINO know Grant must
know that he never gives up purpose.
OF course this triumph for the Camerons,
Forney and Kelley may protest, but they are
under the iron wheel.
As to Don, he has capacity for the office,
but no more honesty than his father. The
father held the same port folio, but on ac-
count of his mum, rous war jobs was banished
to the SHOWS of Russia by Lincoln. He can
justly regard the appointment of his son AS a
vindicstion of himself. The old song is
right.
"ThereIs old Simon Cameron and young Don Cam
eron
Who Is old Simon Cameron's son,
And young Don Cameron will be Simon Cameron,
When old simon CainerJn's gone"

CUSTER.

In no case has the littleness Of Grant
been more transparent than in his treat
ment Of his former brother officers. When
General of our armies he was jealous OF
their fame, and at all times INDUCED in pet
ty persecution. Since he became President,
his associates have been of the lowest class,
OF men who pandered to his vanity, and
sensual tastes, whilst such men as Hancock
were ostracsed. And now his petty spite
has fallen upon Custer, the gallant cavalry
leader, because In answer to summons he
appeared before Congressional Committee
and told the truth. True, the facts were
damaging to the Administration, but the
fault is with the President who permitted
his relatives, the Whiskey and other ring:
to dictate to him. 1t will be glorious day
when this puppet President ends his term
"and goes to meritsd oblivion, unwept, un
honored and unsung."

this state has concurrent jurisdiction with
such state, so far as such streams form such
boundary line, nor to any lake partly within
the boundaries of this state.
Section thirty-one repea!s all acts incon-
sistent with this act.

Ex-senator Carl Schurz made very ex-
presslye description of the present condition
of American blind partizan politics at the
recent New York Conference. He said he
was "on the fence" )" because the mud on both
sides was just now too deep for him to drop
in. A good many more are of the same
opinion. The men who run the party ma
chine will have to clear away much of this
mud il they expect them to run easily. The
Independents are sure to be heard in the
coming election, and the.pary that supple
ments its "relorm" resolutions by presenting
genuine reform candidates whom the people
can trust will be likely to get the full benefit
of the independent yole.--Lsdger

Confding, ignorant Of the ways ofhypoc-
ritical demagogues, and almost helpless as
the enfranchised slaves were at the close of
the war, there were constituencies scoundrels
pretending to their peculiar friends, who
robbed them by means Of the "Frenchmen's S
Bank" They robbed others, but their basest
crime was the robbery of the savings of the
liberated slaves. The testimony just report
cd on this subject is disgraceiul to the
country aud to the age. 1t seems that but
little of the millions of money deposited
will ever be got out of the assets-more
than half of it is out of mortal reach, but
are the rascals who robbed them out of reach
too ?-Ledger,
