The flag presented to the Noble
Light Guard by DR.. Noble, is of the
heaviest and richest silk, with gilt
stars, and the name "Noble Light
Guard" in gilt letters on the field.
The staff is of rosewood, surmount-
ed by gilt eagle. 1t is the most
beautiful flag we ever saw, and the
boys may well be proud of it.

THE JACK BEA rs THE + QUEEN

THE New York Herald compliments
the Buckeye boss Of the Emma Mine by
saying: "There bas been lingering sus-
picion until now that the Great Republic
had never been fully revenged. Other
differences had been adjusted, but we may as
well confess that till Schenck's re-embarka-
tion for home we harbored feeling Of re
venge, But now old scores are squared
We have placed the Emma Mine on the
British public, and taught the English the
game of draw poker. Ours is the prouc
satisfaction of having not only given Grea
Britain the original rules Of this noble
game, but of having added thereto on
more, and illustrated the play, that ou
knave beats the queen.'

Mrs. JONATHAN STURGIs a christian
lady, has purchased the grand hotel and
picturesque spot, below West Point on the
Hudson river, konwn as the "Cozzns,"
and presented it to the New York Hos
pital, to be used as home for GONZALES
cent patients, from that or ary similar in
stitution which may aid in defraying the
cost of its maintenance. Thus will that
delightful spot be redeemed from mere
worldly pleasure, and consecrated to
works of mercy. "Cozzins' will now pre-.
sent and possess new and greater interest
for it is to be devoted to nobler purpose
than the entertainment of fashionable So
clety and the flirtations of embryo soldiers
Blessings be on the kind heart and wise
head Of the gentle christian donor.

A FRENCH inventor has discovered that
electricity can be transmitted from place to
place by undulationa analogous to those of
sound, and has prepared an arrangement
composed of electro-magnet, and tuning
forks, by means Of which particular cur
rent passing through tuning fork pitched
to certain note does not become merged
in or confounded with other currents,
which, after passage through differently
pitched tuning forks, are simultaneously
transmitted along the same wire. Many
messages at a time, through single wire
are therefore possible. To Frenchman
then is the credit due for the discovery O
the possibility Of transmitting dispatches
between two telegraphic stations
through one wire only, and by means O.

GOVERNOR TILDEN and some of the
shrewder of his friends, fear that Mont
gomery Blair's letter in favor of Tillen al
the Democratic candidate for President
will do the Governor injury. They fear
that Mr. Blair's letter is calculated to ex-
cite controversy within the party as to his
availability and qualifications which is not
desired. They think the wiser campaign
is to make as little noise as possible about
the leadership, aad recall the portentious
fact that more than one Presidential can,
idate Ger now owed his defeat to the in.
opportune letter writing of over-zealous
and injudicious friends.

REPRESENTATIVE BRowNING's bill for
recognizing the army, reported faverably
to the House, does not reduce the present
effective force of the army, but reduces the
number of infantry officers fity-fve, and
of cavalry officers fifteen, and increase
the size of the companies and regiments.
1t does away with the regimental organiza-
tion of the artillery, reducing the field Of
ficers of artillery seventeen. 1t consoli.
dates the Quartermaster and Commits
sary Departments into one, designated as
the Department Of Supplies, making large
deduction of officers, and for the discharge
of worthless and inefficient officers, and for
an examination Of retired officers. All Of
ficers who lose their places under the bill
are placed on the list of supernumeraries
and are permitted to resign with one year
pay for each eight years service, or re
main in the service to perform such dutie
as they may be assigned to. The bill
makes sweeping reforms and reduction
of about two hundred officers.

THE MOST important phase in the
Emma Mine Investigation was the appear
ance yesterday ofex- Minister schenck be
fore the Committee with carpet bag
loaded with papers, and limping with
feebleness from an attack of indispositlon
from which he has suffered since
his arrival from England. His
evidence contains but little Of the
philosophy Of reason and argument; he
believed when he invested in the Emma
Mine that it was a solid Muldoon, and al
though he hoped for big bonanza, he did
not think there was any unpleasant odor
about it to indicate that it was not the
genuine thing.

MAaRussUse-ro-DAY..

The Republicans Of Pennaylvania hole
their State Convention to-day at Harris
burg. The Convention will lack the issue
which so excited the Democracy at Lam
caster, as there is no question of header
ship to be decided as there was between Ran
dali and Wallace. In Harrisburg the old
Winnebago will hold the delegates under
tight rein. The platform will be adopted
something like that at Lancaster and will
be very strong on hard money and the
question of resumption. The Presidential
question will settle on three men, Blaine
Bristow and Washburn.
Senator Cameron, who is yet standing
in the background, may possibly throw
his influence for Blaine, 40 as to secure the
pledge for large amount Of administra-
ton patronage. 1t is thought the Conven-
ton will be instructed for Hartranit al
though there is some opposition to tram
elling it with instructions for any one can
didate. One thing is pretty certain, which
is, that Cameron has the controlling in
fluence, and men will be sent to Cincinnati
who will rally at his command.
1t will be recollected as significant fact
that it was at the State Convention Of the
Republican party held in Pennsylvania
for the nomination of Governor Hart
ranft, that the Convention went so far out
Of its way as to strongly condemn any
thing like third term. This drew out
from Grant letter that was not very salts
factory to those who felt anv anxiety to
know whether he would again make an ei:-
fort to plant himself in the position of
President. But the people are no wiser
now than they were before as to what the
present incumbent intends to do with HIM
self in the approaching campaign. The
action of the Lancaster Convention cleared
away the brush and removed the obstacles
which the corpse Of Grantism would tie
about the neck of the party, and gives
the Harrisburg Convention more elbow
room to work.
Everything smelling ofthe administra-
tion will be thrown overheard, and Har-
risbarg, to-day, will no doubt come out
with bran new suit of clothes made to
order by Simon Cameron. OF one thing
they may est assured, that to keep even
step with the work of the Democracy at
Lancaster they must come out in their
best harness, for that Convention put forth
good platform and acted most wisely.

THE Senate Of California has passed
two bills, that are not only absurd, but un-
constitutional. One requires that the
signatures of writers shall be annexed to ar
tic!es, and the other is that a newspaper
shall retract any statement proven to be Ii.
bellous. The law may punish an editor
for libel, but it cannot compel him to give
the use Of his types, paper and press for
the use of retraclion. No signature law
has ever before been heard of in any
state of the American Union, in England
ireland, Scotland. or any English speak

AnorMEs GUILTY OFFICIAL.

AAOTAE1 0UALTx E1IO1 ~ - =. =
Daily, fresh and numerous accounts OF
thieving and fraud performed by Re
publican Office holders are being made
manifest. Surely are the coils Of evidence
tightening about official life in Washington.
1t is estimated that millions upon millions
of dollars have been stolen from the
general government fund, by, and through
government officials, in all manner OF
ways. Every conceivable method has
been resorted to, to crafty the cupidity Of
perjured placemen. 1t seems that there
has been no limit to the rascality Of Post
master General Cresswell. On the goth
inst, H. T. johnson, Chief Of the Equip
ment Division of The Post Office Depart
ment, testified that in 1870, Mix 4 Co., OF
Syracuse, New York, were the lowest bid
lers for furnishing locks for the depart
ment, and that before the contract was
made out, the parties through Earl, for
merly CresswelPslaw partner, thoug ht they
should have five cents more Oh the iron
and nine cents more on the brass-locks.
The question was referred to johnson, who
reported against allowing the charge, but
Cresswell consented, thereby giving the
firm $1l, $50 more than the contract called
for. At the expiration of four years, in
1874, he renewed the contract on the same
terms, virtually robbing the government OF
$4,000 besides grossly violating the law
and ignoring the bids of other responsible
and lower bidders.
The testimony of Bradlow Barlow before
the Post Office Committee, was the most re-
markable, all things considered, that was
ever given before Congressional Com
mittee. Although he endeavored in every
possible way to shield the persons he has
bought, he was forced to admit, that he had
paid to three or four men in less than two
years something like $l50,00O to secure
their influence with Congressman and with
! the Post Office Department The testi-
mony taken by the Post Office Committee
of 1872, when added to Bartow's admis.
sions, fastens guilt clearly on Postmaster
General Cresswell, and proves that he
was the tool of the straw bidders. Mr.
Barlow actually and absolutely controlled
the mail carrying Of all the principal i'm
portant mail routes throughout the United
States. Mr.. Cresswell was in the interest
of this mail carrying ring, and departed
from the long established custom Of the
department, and disrcgarded the laws of the
land in order to give few men the mo-
nopoly of all the important mail routes
in the Union. Barlow in his examination
admitted that he knew what was coming
long before the time of the Investigations
of1S72-4; that there was always informa-
tien given him that the invest cation could
be bought off by coming down handsomely
and that the Investigations were simply
blackmailing jobs. He said he had not
been forewarned of the present investiga-
ton which he believed was an honest one
and for honest purposes. He admitted that
in his legitimate business transactions be
had given checks, but on questionable trans
actions he paid the money

WHERE TO LOOK,
FOR PRESIDENT

To the honest American, a reflection Of
his country's condition is blackened
thought. Amid all the grand piles Of
structure that once formed the fabric Of
those institutions, whic the covenant OF
our forefathers made venerable, the great
spectre of fraud and corruption now rears
its head and proclaims the miasma Of a
corrupted people. From the very temples
of the people that have done this work
comes the fated atmosphere of dishonesty
Foreign powers regard this as the govern
ment Of personal gain, the home of polit-
ical tricksters, and the wil-o-wisp of hon
est intentions.
Where are we to look for honest peo
pie? Certainly not among the high priests
of party that have opened the treasury
doors to the followers ef its teachings.
Those who claim to have saved the coun-
try to ruin it. Not among those who wear
the ermine Of political dictation, who have
despoiled the sacredness of honesty and
Justice and undermined the pillars Of con-
stitutional right and American integrity.
1t is tothese that we may point the fin
ger of guilt. 1t is these who have built
the pyre to destroy the honor of American
institutions, who have invited the siIiculc
of foreign nations, who are destroying the
confidence of a people, the common
sharers of a government that was founded
upon the broad base of integrity and right.
If it is to these that we are to look for
help from the dismal blots upon the
page of our history, then it is a poor
refuge that the destiny Of the nation rests
in the hands of. If it is to this party
that we look for help then we are solely
in the hands of an imperial Tyranny, catch
ing at what few dreps Of mercy may
happen to fall from an unmerciful source.
Trifing with the tolls of an evil that por-
tends greater danger to country than
that already befallen it.
But if we seek further; the assertion OF
independence over the yoke of party
tyranny; the assertion Of honesty over cor.
ruption, then we but accord our senti
ment with the purely American idea tha
led the constructive genius of that day
to form the most successful republic tina
the annals of the world record. 1t is t,
those who have perpetuated the doctrine
of these men, that we only have reason t
look for the fnrther perpetuation of Anne
rican principles and institutions as taugh
by Jefferson, and the mighty intellects O
his day; not to those who have thrown dow
the foundation stones Of the mighty fabric
and trampled under foot the precepts c
the sacred instrument which forms tn
sovereign power OF our laws that whic
distinguishes us as seperate and distin
people, and has made America the brigl
star of the north to which other natior
gaze withwonder and admiration, If it
to these defilers we are TO look for resu
rection from the mire into which hig
official position has fallen, no realizatie
Of hope awaits us.
1t is with those who have hewn and il
- scribed the tombstone of these people tn
the hope rests and when the ne
national ,election lowers the Republics
sarcophagus from sight, and plants Il
marble slab-no sooner will the count
be wrested from the hands of pillagel
and the destructive influences of dishol
est party.
