tccted in conspiracy to break Jail. An

of tho cells Of Rollins and johnson, and
a fine flexible steel saw about six
inches long was found In Johnson's

blanket that appeared to have been
carclcssly stuffed into the window to
take the place of broken pane Of
glass. The implements were, II is be-
lievcd, carried to the prisoners by the
wife Of Rollins, who visited her hps-
band almost daily until last Thursday
when she was peremptorily refused ad.
mission. 1t is believed that several
other prisoners were engaged in the
matter, as the Sheriff noticed that
money had been quite plenty among
the prison flock during the last few
weeks, and 1t was unqucstionably iur.
nished by Rollins. He had his case
heard this week on writ of habeds cor.
pus, evidently with the view of throw.

facilitating his plans to break JAIL

The amount of cheek possessed by
the man who wrote tho above para
graph is simply amazing. ltwas prov
en- before committee OF the House Of
Representatives, after It's author had
gone TO Europe in the interest Of the
Centennial Exposition, that he had
been paid twenty-five thousand dollars
for advocating in his paper at Wash
ington an enormous subsidy by Con.
gress to the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company. 1t is not necessary Just
now that he should step forth as the
champion or apologist of James G.
Blaine, who seems TO DO involved in
some very suspicious transactions, but
it would be in order if the editor of the
Press would take time enough TO cx-
plain that little arrangement between
himself and Richard b. Irwin, the
agent Of the steamship company afore-
said. His friends promised that ho
would do so as soon as he returned, but
as yet he has made no sign. Until he

suggest to him the necessity Of absolute

The Boon BILL.--This piece of Leg
islative legerdcmain causes considcra-
bic trouble to our lawmakers at Har-
risburg. The report of the House
Committee, and Senator Boyer's tcsti-
mony taken before the Senate Com
mittec, relating to tho bribery ques-
ton, will be found at length on our
first page this week, and will be very
interesting reading matter. The Grand
Jury action, as IL were, seems TO indi-
cate at this distance from the Capital,
as though three or four of our law
makers should be kicked out Of the
Capitol, and about half dozen lobby
roostcrs cooped in the pcnitentiary for
few years, and in that way strive to
cleanse our Legislative chambers.
However, before We fully express our
views upon this important question we
will wait until all tho testimony Is in
on both sides, so that We can render a
verdict in accordance with the ovi.

An UNTESABLE GRoUsD.-Gen. Bel.
knap's rejoinder TO tho replication OF
the House of Representatives is based
on one ground which is clearly unten.
able. 1t is that his resignation was in
duced by suggestion made TO him by
Mr., Clymcr that by rcsigning he
could escape impeachment, Mr.. ely
mer is member Of the House of Rep
resontativcs and Chairman of the Com
mittee Of the House before which Mr..
Marsh's testimony against Mr.. Bclknap
was given, and Mr. Belknap contends
that the House is in good faith bound
by this suggestion of Mr. Clymer.
This is very weak. The power OF i'm
pcachmcnt is vested in the House. 1t
cannot be divestcd by any agreement
