Gambetta,
The daily gazette., 1877-04-10

The Washington correspondent of the
Pittsbmg Post says that Mr.. Randall's
election to be Speaker is very bitterly OPP
posed by certain politicians from his
own State. These, of course, are the re-
tainers of the Treasury Ring and the
TeXas-Pacific Railroad. MI. Randall
can well afford to be beaten by such in
tiuence; and we have no doubt he would
largely prefer it to the scandal support,
He has fought them manfully and TO
good purpose, for years past, and we have
not the least idea that he will undertake
''to smooth down. their opposition now.
Positions have changed since 1915. lie
holds the handle of the knife and they
the blade. Col Iom Scott's "hired
squad" used to be omnipotent in the
Pennsylvania Legislature; but it has
grown to be rat her slender affair in
Congress. 1t is very natural and proper,
however, that what is left of it, together
Nsth the ldil. aad lobby and the Cameron
Legion from Pennsylvania, should most
heartily and vengefully oppose Mr.. Ran
dali. He ne,er showed them quarter,
Wheeler on the floor or in the chair or in
real politics of the debauched and Ring
ridden State. As we'll propose a compo-
sition between Michael and Satan as be
tween Randall and these corruptionists.

The Ownership ola North Carolina
Town.

David Stewart, at the close of the Rev.
olutionary war, was given 475 acres of
land in North Carolina for services rem
dered in the patriot army. Instead of
taking possession of his acres, Stewart
emigrated to Pennsylvania, and settled
at a place known in former years as
Stewartstown, but now called Etna. lie
passed his life without paying attention
to the property in North Carolina, and
it drifted into other hands, when the
town of Salisbury was built upon it The
property is now represented to be worth
$4,000, 900, and the people of Salisbury
are likely to become involved in litiga-
ton with the heirs of Stewart. When
David Stewart was about to give up the
ghost, he committed the deed for his
North Carolina land to the care of bro
ther or brother-in-law, it does not appear
which, who kept the other heirs in igno-
rance of this matter, until shortly before
his own death, when he promised to de-
liver over the deed. But he died quite
suddenly without fulfilling the promise.
After his demise the deed passed into the
possession of nephew, and is ready for
production whenever necessary for the
recovery OF the property. One of the
heirs, Mrs. Johnston, resides in ALE
gheny City. and others in Armstrong
county. The matter has been placed in
the hands of counsel.

"GREAT APPLAUsE-The New York
Evening Post republican, has an article
on the ferocious resolutions which "were
lately received with great applause" in
the New England Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, in which
dead slavery was overhauled, the admin
istration abused for ordering the troops
ont of the South Carolina State House,
and the sentiment expressed that Wade
Hampton "long since ought to have been
hung for treason" This article the Post
heads Twelve Years Too Late" Politi-
cally this is true, for slavery has been
abolished, and if Hampton ought to have
been hung so ought Senators Gordon,
Hall and Lamar, and for that matter
Gen. Longstreet and all the rest of the
Southern people. Religiously the spirit
and sentiments of the resolutions thus of
ferred in the New England Conference
are 1877 years to late, for the Founder of
the religion which they profess declared
that His kingdom was not of this world
and that He came to save men, not to de-
stroy them. The Springfield (Mass) Re-
publican suggests that the New England
Conference take a rest on politics for
awhile,and attends to religion. cts per-
formances in the former field have not
improved politics, while they certainly
seem to have damagedits religion" Even
Its "great applause" does not appear to
hurt any body, for it will be remembered
that Gilbert Haven's plea for third
term of Grant at a Methodist minister's
meeting was also "received with great
applause" This country has no relish
for church and state. The conference did
well, however, to think well before act,
ing, and on Saturday adopted more
moderate series of resolutions. in which
the Southern policy of President Hayes
was passed. Rev. DR.. Mallalieu, the au-
thor of the original resolutions, failed to
answer to his name, and the conference
voted unanimously ON the substitute,

A Howl for More Money.
A QUICK WAY TO INcREAsE THE Ma
TIoNAL DEBT.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The Ordi-
nance Department claim that $l,000,000
should be appropriated for the proper ar {.
mament of sea coast defences instead of
the 100000 appropriated at the last ses-
sion OF Congress. They claim that there
are no guhs in our Notifications able to
stop ironclads from entering our harbors,
and that the government could not arm
more than $4,000 troops with breechload-
ers in case of war. They wish to test
several new guns, one of which, the
Thompson gun, costs Sl15 for every shot
flred-the powder costing $40, and the
shot, weighing 700 pounds, costing S75,to
say nothing Of the great expense of max
ing guns to be used up in experimenting.
1t is well known that private manufac-
tories of arms could, if required, arm
millions of men in very short time with
the very best of small arms.

Like rats deserving Il sinking shir,
Chamberlain, Corbin, and Patterson are
turning their backs upon the Black Re-
pubiicans Of South Carolina. Chamber
lain who can expect nothing further
from the people whom he has helped to
plumber, has made arrangements to
open a law office in New York. Corbin
does not intend to return to Columbi8,
aud John Patterson, in some respects
the most Iisgustingiy offensive carpet
bagger in the State, has come to the con-
clusion that there are not five years good
stealing left in South Carolina after all,
and that he will depart as soon as his
term in the United States Senate is up.
Meanwhile he is trucking to Hampton.
Hayes's policy is depriving the colored
voters of South Carolina of their late
leaders. 1t remains to be seen whether
the Northern Republicans will desert
them also.-Bolt Sun.

WAR WITHIN THE PARTY.
REPUBLICANS PREPARING TO suProhl
CHAMBERLAIN AND PACKARD

WASHINGTON, April 5.-It is learned
from party in interest that conference
was held here between certain Northern
II Republicans aud Chamberlain, Patterson
and company, at which it was decided
that Chamberlain should return to South
Carolina andreoccupy and hold the state
House with his militia after the troops
are withdrawn. Even if Hampton should
obtain writ of ejectment, it was agreed
that Chamberlain should resist it by force
if necessary, and thus compel Hayes to
use the troops TO install Hampton. In this
way they will throw the odium Of plac-
ing Hampton in power directly on the
Administration. which they are assured
will not be sustained by the masses of the
Republican party in that or its present
course. 1t is very evident that Chamber
lam has been assured of the support OF
prominent Republicans, or he would not
have suddenly changed his mind from a
retreat which he agreed to, and which
Patterson confirmed by calling on Hamp
ton the day before the latter left. One
part of Chamberlain's plan is to hold on
to the State House until the extra session
convenes,in the hope that the Senate will
recognize him by the admission of Corbin
as Senator from South Carolina Pack
ard has also assurances similar to those
given Chamberlain, and they come either
directly or indirectly from Blaine, from
whose State Packard halls. Nor is there
any doubt that Blaine, Butler and others
intend to assail Hayes policy the mo-
ment the extra session convenes. There
has been unmstakable evidence of this
in Washington since Friday last. Indeed
General Butler, who happens to be here
makes no secret of his hostility to Hayes
policy.
