ALLEGED PERJURY IN COrTON CLAIMS
Mr.. A. F. Wild, q government officer, was
arrested in the Second District charged
with perjury. There is belief that his
enemies have trumped up this accusation
because Mr. Wild has successfully thwarted
the tricks of persons who pretended to have
cotton claims against the United States.
Possibly this case grows out Of the Cleve.
land Mills claim. Accused will doubtless
clear himself, and, perhaps, after that tell
the United States grand jury what he knows
about perjury.

In a late issue of the BridgetOn Chronicle
Judge I. Edwin West, of Newbern, North
Carolina, gives the editor of the Patriot a
well deserved cllastisement. All that he
says concerning said editor, is true. AS for
Judge West, we have known him a long
time, and consider him gentleman in every
respect, the insinuations of the Patriot to
the contrary In his new home in the
South, Judge West has built up reputa-
tion for honesty and ability which cannot
be destroyed by the SANDER of disreputable
political opponents. The people of Bridge
ton and vicinity know him to be a square
man, and an earnest, loyal citizen, which
is more than can be said of his editorial
traducer or the young claw sprig'' who
recently dictated a letter to the Mayor of
Newbern, stating that 'Ed. West is dead
beat. Go for him." Just such men as
these are the class which are doing so much
to keep up sectional animosity between the
North and South. They belong to the same
set that urged on the war, promising help
to their Southern brethren, and then when
the war came left the South with the bag
to hold.

THE SUPREME COURT CLERK

A few weeks since we took occasion to
remark that Mr.. B. F. Lee, Clerk of the
Supreme Court of this State, was gentle
man, whereupon the editor of the Star OF
tho Cape got his back up. Mr.. Lee is a
Democrat, but because of this fact he is
none the less gentleman socially. Po-
litically we have no fellowship with him.
We are well aware of the effort which Clerk
Lee made to carry the Democratic ticket
in Cape May County, and we also felt the
force of ''monied influence" in this AS
sembly District, which we have reason to
believe came from the same direction
This, however, was a part of Mr.. Lees
business as politician, and in order to Sc
cure second term of the fat Office which he
Gov. Bedle that he should bring into the
Democratic Camp Republican Senatorial
or Assembly candidates scalp. 1t was un-
fortunate for Mr.. Supreme Court Clerk Lee
that he was compelled to go up into the
Sanhedrim at Trenton without even the
shadow of hair, but then he is certainly ex-
cusable by all fair-minded men. He did
his best. And now, Bro Bedle's voice is
wrathy and his anger is kindled against
Benjamin. In the midst of this trouble
would it not be well, Bro. Seigman, to let
this matter drop, considering that Mr.. Lee
is both Democrat and gentleman.

MAsoNIc.-There are SO Grand Lodges
in the United States and Canada, with a
total of 1925 subordinate lodges. There
are also two superior Councils. Besides
these there are 13 Grand Lodges and Grand
Orients in America outside of the United
States and Canada, with 45S other lodges.
There are 25 Grand Lodges in Europe, with
1888 subordinate lodges, and Grand
Lodge for Africa with subordinate Lodges.
Is it at all surprising that Masonry mas an
influence in promoting the civilization of
the world? Pennsylvania has $50 lodges
with "a membership of over $4,000. Iowa
has over II, 800 affiliated Masons. Stephen
Girald, at his decease, donated 5000 to
the Masonic fraternity for relief OF charity,
with instructions to let it lie at interest
until it amounted to $50, 900, aod after that
use only the interest. The $4,000 has
been Sin tack'' for many years, and its in
terest is conscientiously applied to charity,

The Philadelphia correspondent of The

The Philadelphia correspondent of THE
London Times, after describing the closing
ceremonies of the Centennial Exhibition,
refers to President Grant imperturbability.
He says: "No one who watched him would
have imagined that only an hour Or so be-
fore he had been called on to meet serious
national urgency. He had just sent his
order to Gen. Sherman, which has gone all
over the world. / was discussing it with
distinguished foreigner and diplomat, who
has been long in America, and ought to
know the President as well as most men,
and he declared that it was without doubt
the production of Mr.. Secretary Fish. Next
evening happened to meet Gen. Hawley,
who told me that he was there when, just
before the meeting in Judges Hall, the
President got the news which called forth
the order, aud that after moments rehec-
ton, and without recourse to any other
confidential adviser than that nearest. dear
est, and discreetest of his counseors and
inseparable companion, his cigar, the Presi-
dent then and there wrote off the order as
cody and promptly as he might have writ

The New Jersey State Building on the
Centennial grounds sold fer three times as
much as any other State building, bringing
altogether 80, 900. 1t is to be made town
hall in Haddonfield, Camden County The
Newark Advertdser says: "The destination
of the New Jersey Building at the Centen-
nial will be satisfactory, as well as the price
it brought. 1t goes to a public use in a
lovely location. There was bit of fun at
the auction. Wm. Walter Phelps kept on
bidding persistently for thing he did not
want, because he was willfully determined
that the building should go somewhere to
Jersey Finally his suspicious were aroused,
and he found that he had been steadily
bidding against the good town of Haddon-
field, N. J. Thereupon he subsidized with a
great sense Of relief and content for he had
only one object-the jersey Building should
find it's home in Jersey"

At Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Tuesday
of last week, while the schools were in ses-
sion, a fire started in the Jefferson school
building, three-story brick, and within
an hour nothing was left but the walls
The fire was first discovered in the primary
department on the first floor, near the fiues
which extended from basement to roof
through the centre of the building In ten
minutes the flames, running up along the
side fues, had burst out in every ROOM
Owing to the unexampled promptness of
the teachers, combined with admirable
discipline and presence of mind, the children
were marshaled down the winding stairway
in perfect order, and not one was injured.
The teachers were all women and they re-
ceive the praises of the whole community.
Three minutes after the principal left the
halls, she being last to leave, the whole
building was wrapped in flames. Consider
ing that there were nearly 1000 children in
the building, the people are filled with
thankfulness that they have escaped repe-
tition of the Brooklyn calamity.

Thus The atlanta (Ga.) Constitution, with
a bitterness of sarcasm which rouses the
suspicion that ''overtures" have been made
to it, says: "The war salk we see in the
newspapers is not refreshing. 1t makes us
shudder. There is something so sanguinary
in the spectacle of consumptive editor,
with his shirt collar cut low in the neck
and his pantaloons calling loudly for reform,
squatting himself upon his eloquent haun-
ches and firing off imaginary horse pistols,
that we involuntalily desire to retreat to
the rear. Not that we are opposed to var
not at all; but if there is to be war we
want the patriots of The North and West 10
have it out among themselves. The South
has been crushed in the struggle, and the
Northern Democi as have stood by and
watched the crushing process with infin tely
more curiosity than interest. Howbeit,
the turn of the wheel has brought them
face to face with the same deadly clements
of despotism. If they submit-well. If
they resist, they must fight on their side Of
the line"

A RELIABLE HOUSE.

For many years the firm of Robesen &
Whitecar, druggists and dealers in stationery
&C., was known throughout South Jersey
as the most complete in every department
as we'll as reliable in it's line of business
The reputation of the late firm has been
handed down to the present owners of the
old-established stand on Commerce Street.
Messrs. Reeve s. Fithian have not only
thus far held the fair name of the house but
they have added to it. Both gentlemen of
experience in this line of trade they fear
no successful competition in drugs, medi-
cines, stationery, books, plain or fancy
goods. A hasty tour of their elegant store
a few days since convinced us that they
have gathered upon it's shelves the finest
and best assortment of Holiday Goods ever
offered to the people of Cumberland Coun-
ty. In the toy line they have everything
calculated to please the eye, the ear, or the
palate. In fact they are able to fit out in
the most perfect style even old Santa Claus
himself. In confectionery their stock is
unusually full, and comprises the best of
Whitman's manufacture, as well as those
of home production. Foreign fruits have
been made a speciality, and for a very small
amount of money one can purchase most of
the luxuries of the tropics. Is to paints,
oils, chemicals, and goods of kindred char
acter, they have an endless variety. The
purest of drugs can be had at this establish
ment every hour in the day, and always
put up in the most careful manner, by ex-
perts in the drug line. In the department
of Books and Stationery for the Holiday
Season, Reeve g. Fithian have done them
selves credit and the public great favor.
There is now no necessity for visit to
Philadelphia for the purpose Of procuring
library when the choicest books can be
furnished at home. Sunday Schools in
want of libraries can get them at this es-
tablishment at very reasonable rates, lower
even than in the cities. Parties wishing
special books for gift purposes can find
them here. Volumes of poetry by Long
fellow, Whittier, Bryant Mrs. Hemans, Sir
Walter Scott, Shakespeare, Shelly, Burns,
and other eminent poets, are found here in
profusion as are also books of travel his
tory, song, and humor. If you are in want
| of anything in this line of trade, don't fail
to visit Messrs. Reeve & Fithian Their
house is just the place to secure Christmas
and New Year gifts for wife, little ones,
relatives and friends. Examine their goods,
and you will not fail to purchase.

THE COMING LEGISLATURE.

AS the time draws nigh for the organiza.
tion of the Legislatu ure, our Democratic
friends show their hands more freely. A
few weeks since, they were somewhat mild
in their demands, but now (emboldened we
suppose, by reformer Tilden) they propose
to take entire control of both Senate and
Assembly and apportion the spoils among
their hungry followers, regardless of what
the people may say According to the Off
cial programme laid down by Gov. Bedle,
''staf'' Little, and their associates, no quar-
ter is to be given the Republicans in any
direction. Already these gentry are setting
up successorto Comptroller Runyon whose
term expires next April, and as to the
Speakership of the Assembly, they enter
tain no doubts whatever as to whom shall
wear the "mantle of authority" He is to
be Democrat, of course. For United
States Senator, Democratic candidates are
announced by the score, and the matter is
looked upon as sure thing-so sure that
Mr.. John R. Mcpherson, of Jersey City
whose only qualification for the place is that
he has plenty of ''ducats," already claims
Mr.. Frelinghuysen's seat as his own. Now
we don't want to intrude our opinion as to
these matters upon the Democratic leaders,
but we are prepared to give it, nevertheless.
In the first place, the next Speaker of the
New Jersey Assembly, will not be Demo
crat. In the second place, Mr.. Comptrol-
Ter Runyon's position will not be filled by
Democrat this year. As to the other Off
GERS, we are decidedly of the opinion that
the Democrats will have their proportionate
share. Although the Legislature has not
been so evenly divided for half century,
yet there will be no great amount of trouble.
The forty Republicans of the two Houses,
ssDon't scare worth cent, as the Democ-
racy will discover when the Legislature
comes together on the 9th day of January.
Unless "all signs fail' Hon. Alden G. SEQ
vel, of Camden, will be the next Speaker
of the House Of Assembly. Mr.. Scovel is
gentleman in every way fitted for the po-
sition. His selection will be an honor to
the State and the people. Democratic POL
iticians may put these facts Sin their pipe
and smoke it.''

sight with the wild young savage of fifteen,
and he then and there vowed that some
day that small girl should be his wife. And
so she was, but only after many lovers

ther, was for a long time obdurate toward
the young man, who, he feared, was f kle
and unstable, and his daughter and her
suitor submitted most patiently to his will
until at last he relented.

lican and what was called the Citizens
