THE HERALD HoAxINe THE PEOPLE.

THE HERALD HoAxING THE PEOPLE.
The N. Y. Herald is certainly cheeky.
IL furnishes its readers with columns Of
editorial landing General Grant, under
the head. of "Always q Sphinx" from
which we take the following:
ellis great career has been series of
surprises by the display of faculties or
qualities which nobody suspected until
they were suddenly exerted. To select a
recent but minor instance, nothing SEEM
ed better established than his utter ina
blity TO make a speech on any public
occasion, when he bloomed out all at
once as soon as he touched the shores of
Europe as a ready, discreet, and tasteful
speaker in response to public compli-
ments. Nobody can safely predict what
| further surprises this inscrutable sphinx
has in reserve for his countrymen. We
will briefly allude to some of the fresh
ones presented in these interesting con-
versations."
| The Herald cannot deceive the intelli.
gent people of this country. The Herald
doubtless knows that Grants speeches
are all made for him by the educated and
able writer who accompanies him in hi:
travels. That Is the reason that as soor
as he landed in Europe, he became abb,
to surprise the people in short and appro
pirate speeches with well turned periods
which appear actually better than the,
are because nobody expected letter Of
a speech from Grant in which the King
English was not murdered.

DELAWARE SALMoN.-Over 100 0salmon
have been captured this season below
Trenton, none weighing less than twelve
pounds and one weighing over twenty
three pounds. The stocking of the Della
ware river with salmon began in 1871
when $500 were placed in the river; in
1872 $4,000 were put in and in 1873 60 900.
In 1874 the California salmon were pro-
cured. As the salmon continue to run up
the river until late in the fall, it is the
opinion of the commissioners that many
Of them are now in the Delaware, as they
always seek the head waters Of the river.
1t is believed that in another year there
will be fair salmon fishing as far up as
Lackawaxen, and year later it will be
tirst-class. They are caught only with a
fly, and they frequent the deep pools adj
joining swift running water, and are Of
ten found in the riffs.

According to the latest advices all is
quiet on the Mexican border. General
Valdez, who encountered General Mack
enize when he was in Mexico some time
ago, is, it seems, anxious for a fight.
With command of fifteen hundred men
he is saidto be waiting for Mackenzie,
who is at present on this side the Rio
Grande. Valdez is Mexican militia gen.
eral, and the majority of his men are
said to be horse thieves.

1HE WORKING BoYs.-A great deal is
sad about the workingmen, and they
ueserVe all the encouragement that can
De gwen them. But we think a word To
the working boys of the csuntrv is in
season, for it is working boys who will
own the land and control the wealth of
the country in the next generation
Just as they did in the last. The
working boy is bound to be at
the head of the "ways and means y
in his early manhood. We don't care
whether the workingboy follows the
plough, stands at the anvil, is behind tho
counter, pushes the plain, or labors at his
studies. Diligence, frugality and pruden.
cial care will elevate him and make him
the peer of the best classes of society.
Look around you, and inquire into the
earlier life of the possessors of land and
houses; ask who control the mass of the
wealth about your neighborhood, and
Ten TO one you will find that the CHIEF
part OF 1t Is in the hands of those who
were BORN poor; who were workingboys
IN the literal sense of the word.
10 you suppose these boys who are
ho" grown TO men of wealth do not OBJ
serve the workingboy of to-day. Don't
deceive yourself. Every hard.workinp
honest boy is observed. Care, puntuali
ty, trugality, and energy is worth more
than capital The great capitalists he
fore the war were nearly all once work
ing boys, and most of the rich of to-do,
were working boys. The working bow
OF this country have before them every
thing to be grateful for. Labor and saw.
ana wealth will be the reward of patienc,
But whether this be your lot or not ther
IS a pleasure in labor that the idle ca
never know.

THE Bankers Association is TO hold Q
convention at Saratoga, commencing
August I. Among the topics to be dis
cussed are the Safeguards and the risks
Of banking, the latter being now so heavy
as to involve losses to our 5000 banks
throughout the nation reported at more
than S35,000,000 year; the regulations
relative to the bonds of bank officers, the
prevention of defalcations, the economy
Of expenditure. and variety of other
technical matters. Most of the leading
banks of the country will be represented

The New York Sun has story to tie
effect that Jay Gould, the New York
stock operator, is financially embarrassed
and that loan Of his of 100000 was
thrown out of bank on Tuesday in conse
quence of the flimsy nature of his collat-
erals, which had evidently been taken
from the bottom ofhis box, The fall in
Granger stock is said to have pinched
him. Gould virtually holds all of the
Union Pacific stock, but he is afraid to
put any of it on the market because any
movement of that sort would break it
and run it down TO % at once.

THE ELECTION of delegates to the
Democratic State Convention takes place
ON Saturday; and ii is hoped that care
will be taken to select good and compe-
tent men; men who have the GOOD of the
state and the country at heart. The
chief need of the people of Delaware to-
day is reduction of expenditures in the
General government. If is an indisput-
able fact that we pay too much to govern
ment; and too much of what we nav is
s4uandered. If it was carefully husband
ed and all, after the expenses of an eco
nomlcal administration, went to pay the
national debt, We might bear it uncom-
plalnlngly. But that the people of this
state should be made to pay million
dollars year; and witness its being used
TO keep up hundred thousand high sal.
arled ofhcers, who are fast assuming the
prerogative Of masters of the people
whose servants they are, is little to,
much for Democratic natures IN haar
unless 1t be few who delight in a de
basing man worship for the sake O
party.
We hope the Democratic State dele
gates in convention assembled will d,
their full duty in making platform il
conformity to the wishes of their partv
in favor Of the strictest economy. Tn,
land and all we own has been mortgage,
Tor the payment of the national debt. |
IS hard to turn these debts over to OH
children, who had naught to dowith thei
contraction; and it is harder perhaps +,
pay them as we are now doing while it il
painful to believe that our TAXPAYER
are being swindled out of their hard earn
ed labor to keep up a style of living tha
IS entirely incompatible with Democrat
principles and ourrepublican pretensions
Let our platform be one that will tend +,
the benefit of all and the injury of none
and favor the most rigid economy, sucl
as we all are compelled to practice A
home in order that our children NAV h,
reared and educated.

of evidence showing the organization of the
their connection with the murder, was as
signed as error.
The Supreme Court, in an opinion by
Justice Woodward, however, afirms the
Judgment Of the Court below, holding that
its rulings were in the main correct. 1t re-
mits the record of its decision to the lower
court in order that its sentence may be car
ried into effect.
On the nth ofJanuary, 1862, Frank Lang
don, ticket boss at the Audenried Collery,
Schuylkill county, was found brutally muir
dered, his head having been fractured by
repeated blows.
In 1875, John Kehoe, together with five
others, was arrested for the offence. A
severance was had and he was given a sepa-
rate trial. Evidence was adduced showing
that he had made threats TO take the life of
Langdon, who was obnoxious to him and his
associates, from the fact that he had docked
their pay at the mine; that Kehoe and the
others had plotted the murder and had bru-
tally murdered their selected victim. After
a long trial and lengthy charge by the
Court, verdict Of guilty Of murder in the
first degree was rendered. Assigning error
in the rulings of the Court below, the Oyer
and Terminer of SchuyllIill county, Rehoe
removed his case to the Supreme Court. He
alleged that the evidence adduced was INSULT
cient TO make out case of murder in the
first degree; that the Court erred in admit
ting testimony showing concerted action on
the part of himself and his associates in
planning and committing the deed, and in
allowing the dying declarations Of Langdon
incriminating the prisoner to go into evil
dence. The rejection of the evidence Of
Columbus McGee and Neal Dougherty, two
alleged accomplices of the accused, was also
assigned as error, as were also the rulings OF
the Court on number of unimportant
questions. The Supreme Court, in an opn-
ion by Mercur Justice, sustained the rulings
of the lower tribunal, aflirmes the judgment
and RENTS the records in order that the
sentence of the Court may be carried into
effect. 1t concludes that upon the whole
case the evidence made out clear case Of
murder in the first degree, and that the jury
were right in so finding as was also the
| Court below in its admission and exclusion
Of the evidence above cited.

ladies of the Cabinet live in plain
style, and no one ever dreams Of looking to
Mrs. Evarts, who, SO far as rank and promi-
nence are concerned, now occupies the chair
of Mrs. Fish, to set an example in style and
fashion. Mrs. Belknap, Robson, and Will
liams the dashing coadjators of Mrs. Fish,
are things of the past and for simplicity
and economy, the outer circle of the White
House, 1. c. the wives of the members of the
Cabinet, will compare favorbly with the
vaunted harrenness of dash and style Of the
early days of the Republic.
There are among the wives and daughters
of some of the members of the Diplomatic
Corps, and of some of our wealthy Senators
and members Of Congress, several, who are
dissatisfied with this plainness of style and
living, and who have setup little cOtcrie of
their own. Only intimate friends have the
open sesame to their convivial gatherings,
and newspaper reporters are scrupulously
excluded. l should not be surprised iftheir
example will be more generally followed
and the rigour which has, so far, character
lied the social gatherings at the White
House, be relaxed a little under the strain of
outside pressure. Nous rcyT0nSi
This afternoon, attended the first of Mrs.
Hayes regular Saturday receptions, which
differed but little from those of her prede-
cessor. The rooms, and more especially the
Blue Room," were magnificently and
tastelully decorated with rare flowers from
the conservatories, and the Marine Band
was in attendance and "discoursed sweet
music" Il believe that is the sterotyped
phrase p during the levee. Mrs. Hayes was
attired in a handsome black velvet, and was
assisted by her young lady friends who are
now visiting at the White House. The
President, and his two eldest sons were also
on hand, and, with Secretary Thompson and
his two daughters, formed little group in
one of the alcoves near the door, where they
were almost hidden by the flowers. As an
opening reception, it was success, and was
numerously attended by the elite notwith-
standing the inclemency of the weather.

I'm the Pennsylvania Senate Tuesday
night bill was introduced providing for
payment of the military for service during
the July and August riots and the other
expenses incident to them. The amount
demanded for payment of troops is 1920, 600,
and transportation, subsistence, quarter
masters and medical stores 1926, 900. The
estimates of the cost Of the riots at the Ad-
jutant Generals Department exceed the
above amounts about $4,000. The expenses
in round numbers are classified thus:-
Troops, 1907 900; transportation, SAL 900 /;
subsistence, 1924, 700; quartermaster's stores,
$6S,0OOj medical stores, $3,4OO. These
amounts do not include about 100000
already paid to the three months men, and
an indepeadsat regiment from Philadelphia.
The cost Of the riots therefore is 100000.

borough the following officers will be chosen {:
one person for Chief Burgess, two mem-

Constable, one Auditor, and one Assessor.

take an early start in this matter and see
that the very best men are put in nomina-

citizens will do well to take more interest in
