CdS" 1t is perhaps nothing more than
might be expected TO see the World and
similar merely partisan papers seizing on
the fall of Belknap to make party capital
out of it, and seeing in it no other signiti'
canoe; but it is not an ediiying spectacle.
The venality of one of the chief officers
of the Government is public and nation
al calamity, and it is pitiful to see any
narrow-minded spectator using it to grind
his private axe. The partisan papers will
waste their breath if they try TO convince
the people of this country that Gen. Bel
KNAPP was corrupt because he was Re
publican. When he went into Office he
was poor and comparatively obscure; he
found himself with small salary, large
expenses, dashing, extravagant wife,
and unusual temptations, and ne ylelded,
not because he had fought brayely in the
war, or was from Iowa, or was Repu5li-
can, but because he was weak and chose
easy venality instead of difficult economy.
The quality of his politics had no more to
do with his moral integrity than had the
color of his hair, and to try to make his
party associates responsible for his crime
is piece Of paltry demagogism.-N. 7.

Eyeless Fish that Live in Hot Water.

A most singular discovery was yester-
day made in the Savage mine. This is
the finding of living fish in the water
now flooding both the Savage and Hale
and NorcrOss mines. The fish found
were five in number, and were yesterday
afternoon hOisted up the incline in the
large iron hosting tank and dumped into
the pump tank at the bottom OF the verti-
cal shaft. The fishes are eyeless, and are
only about three or four inches in length
They are blood red in color.
The temperature of the water In which
they are found is 1913 degrees Fahrenheit
almost scalding hot. When the fish
were taken out of the hot water in which
they were found, and placed in bucket
of cold water, tor the purpose of being
brought TO the surface, they died almost
instantly. The cold water at once chilled
their life blood.
In appearance these subterranean men,
bers of the finny tribe somewhat resemble
gold fish. They seem lively and sportive
enough while in their native hot water,
Notwithstanding the fact that they have no
eyes nor even the rudiments Of eyes The
water by which the mines are Hooded
broke in at depth of 1900 feet in a
DRIFT that was being pushed to the north
ward in the Savage. Ii rose in the mine
also in the Hale and Norcross, the two
mines being cOnnected-to the height Of
400 feet; that is, up TO the 800 foot level
This would seem to prove that a great
subterranean reservoir OF lake has beer
tapped, and from this lake doubtless came
the fish hoistel from the mine last even
ing.
Eyeless fishes are frequently found in thC
lakes OF large caves, " we have never be

GeutIe Woman at the Matinee.

THOSE who witnessed the animated
spectacle say that the scene at the Opera
House directly after opening of the doors
for the matinee on Wednesday was the
most impressive exhibition of woman's
force of character ever witnessed in this
quarter of the distracted world. At about
eleven O'Clock, awaiting the opening of
the doors, Mr.. McKenna saw that there
were at least four hundred ladies, and they
were crowded up against the entrance and
ON the stairways like sardines in box,
while they struggled and watched and
grew feverishly impatient for the first
chance to rush wildly into the auditorium.
Mr.. McKenna accordingly effected un-
usual precautions in preparing for the
rush which he knew would come when
the doors were opened. Those familiar
with the Opera House interior viii recol-
lect the square enclosure through which
visitors pass to the theater after entering
the outer door. Well, against the wooden
fence around this enclosure Mac stationed
eighteen men with instructions to brace
firmly against it, for he knew that when
the ladies began to surge in they would
crusade against the wooden structure with
| vengeance, and down would go the en-
tire establishment unless the eighteen
stood firmly at their posts. 1t may be
remarked that the renowned Mac was
quite right, save that he didn't GO quite
far enough in his calculations. The
eighteen being well braced and all being
solidly fixed, Mac gave the signal To open
the doors. What happened next seems
now more like horrid dream than
anything else to the noble eighteen.
With rush, roar and sweep Ike the
irresistible whirlwind, the ladies moved
into the small space of that small enclos,
ure, as II the concentrated force of all of
Jove's thunderbolts was at their backs
Like the waves of an angry sea they bore
down upon the noble eighteen, and To- in
a trice, the noble eighteen were not. They
we're cut down In a flash, along with the
frail fence, and over their PROSTATE bodies

sion, one purpose, one ambition, and thai

mendous the oaths by which they are held
together, nor how frightfully exemplary the
penalties which the unfaithful may incur, good
faith in the bad business is never kept,
and there is always a traitor ready
to betray the deeds or the designs
of his depraved companions. This Is
the moral of the Mcguire matter which
should be prominently presented, and IL Is 10
be hoped that the lesson will not DE lose
wherever it may be needed. Every artisan
who, under the pressure of want, or from q
sense of injury is tempted to affiliate himseH
with secret societies, made 80 because thelr
evil deeds Will not bear the rebuke OF day
light, should give candid consideration 10
this miserable Mcguire business, which has
put the halter around twelve necks. has cost
several honest persons their lives, and has
accomplished nothing of benefit, even OF the
lowest kind, for those engaged in it. The
history of all strikes accompanied by
physical violence is here only again re-
peated The Mcguire organization was
perhaps one of the most powerful
of the kind which the country has ever WIT
messed. It had friends and symDathlzers oil

tract the attention of politicians, who used 1t
for their purposes; and it managed to spread
terror and confusion through several OF the
mining counties. What is the net purpOrt and

course which sensible men, even though smart

THE house WAY hLrcr HATES.

A remarkable article in The Public this week
suggests novel solution of the Presidential
problem Its essential points may be put in a
few words:
Suppose the Democratic theory should pre-
vai the right of either House or Senate to
reject the votes of any State be recognized,
and the question come mp on the
votes of Oregon, South Carolina, and
Florida. Neither branch of Congfess could
be expected to decide mOmcntous
n question without debating it, The Senate
has no rules limiting debate. 1t discussed the
paltry Pinchback business for over two weeks.
1t could hardly be expected that Republican
Senators could finish all they would
want to say on so m0mentOuS ques-
ton as the Presidential succession short OF
three weeks. But the Joint Convention can
not count the votes until the l4th OF Feb
ruary. If the houses. separate whenever
question is raised about the vote OF any
State. and the two branches proceed to
debate. the Convention can do nothing but adj
iourn from day to day until decision is
reached But in less than three weeks the
Fourth of March will have arrived, when the
nrcsent House goes out of existence. The Sen
ate, therefore, has nothing to do but to debate
the question little over two weeks, then on
the Fourth of March await the organization
of the new House IAN extra session of when
President Grant will have called before going
out of oflce), then throw out Oregon and
allow the Democrats TO throw out the three
Southern States, and Let the new House elect,
In the new House the Republicans have twenty
States secure to Tilden's bare seventeen.
Hayes is elected in twentyfour hours, and the
struggle ends.
We believe the suggestion of this possible
result to the Presidential complications orig
mates with The Public. 1t is certainly suf-
liciently striking and plausible to add fresh
source of worrimeDt to the despairng Demo-

. Several more of the Molly Mcguire murder
ers have been convicted. Already twelve of
them have beeh sentenced to be hanged. The
Ancient Order of Hibernians, after dominating
for a time over four or five Pennsylvania
counties, may be considered as substantially
dissolved for which, we suppose, no lover of
peace and good order will be sorry. re-
markable and significant feature of their trans
actions is that the members of this mischievOus
society have in the days of its deserved
trouble been utterly false to each other though
bound TO keep brothers secrets of whatever
character. 1t is stated that of all the MOllies
arrested, two-thirds have humbly asked
permission to become witnesses for the
State. There is certain degree OF
contempt which nobody can help feeling
for conduct 80 utterly selfish and pusllani-
nous, although the propriety Of securing such
evidence is easily to be defended upon grounds
of public policy. But why should the Molly
Maguires put their faith in each otheri Why
should delicate and unselfish conduct be ex-
pected from the members of bloody and
brutal association

bly, end in every civilized land. No matter how
