The First One.
Edmund's Little Joke.

Senator Edmunds says that there are
so many Presidential candidates on the
Committee on judiciary, that business
is very much behind. He says that on
the day when the committee meets,
Conkling will come in first and find a
slim attendance. He will sit down lit
tie while, impatiently, and say:
"Well, don't suppose there will be a
quorum this morning, and l have other
matters TO attend to. If Davis and
Thurman would drop their Presidential
aspirations and attend to committee
business, we could do something."
And he will go out. Then Thurman
will come in and ask:
"Where's Conkling?" 2"
When told that he had been in and
left to look after other matters he will
say:
"Where's Davis?"
"Well," Thurman will say, "Conkling
and Davis have got the Presidency on
the brain, and of course we can't expect
anything of thern.-Call me when you
get quorum"
And he will go out. And then Davis
will come in and say
"Well, Conkling and Thurman are alb
sent again. These two men are so busy
working up their Presidential campaigns
that they neglect their Senatorial du-
ties"
And so it goes, every week, Edmunds
says-Wdsh. Cor. Buffalo Com. AdU.

FORGERY OR FALSE PRE-
TENSE.
A Wife's Signature Forged to n
Judgment Note by Her
Husband.

Magistrate List for several afternoons
lately has had his post-prandial nap
greatly facilitated by the arguments of
a couple of lawyers in suit before him
wherein Edwin V. Lansdale, a real es-
tate broker, charges John w. Kline,
with having, on or about January 12.,
obtained from him $500 by means of a
forged judgment note, dated January IL,
purporting to be signed by his wife, A..
G. Kline, and witnessed by David B..
Wilson, lad. The Magistrate permit
ted Mrs. Kline to introduce coiiaters
evidence " the effect that the signature.
was not hers, and that she had refused
Kline's opportunities to sign the note
but afterwards ruled it out as issue be-
tween husband and wife. She word sent.
10 Kline to sign 1T himself, and counsel
for defense undertook 10 established that
this was authority to affix her signature
"a point contested by the prosecution.
Young Wilson corroborated the fact of
Mrs. Kline's refusal to sign and denied
that he had witnessed any instrument.
The Magislr tie has the case under ADJ
yisement, requiring $500 bail from
Kline In the interim. .-Phild. Times.

Nearly a Panic.
A SLIGHT FIRE IN SCHOOL HoUsE mo
DAMAGE DONE.

DAMAGE DONE.
The alarm of fire about three o'clock
yesterday afternoon, was caused by the
slight burning of some joists in the cellar
OF Public School No. 4, on Washington
street, between Second and Third. The
hre was occasioned by an overheated
register fiue, which burned the joists, but
the flames were extinguished with buck
ets OF water before the arrival of the
FIRE Department, and only slight
damage was sustained. The reason for
the unusual heat was the negligence of
the Janitor, who fixed the heater in the
morning, and went away without regu-
lating the draft.
Inc alarm or course caused great con-
sternation among the pupils, but the
great coolness and admirable presence of
mind displayed by the teachers prevent
ed the uncomfortable panic that might
| easily have resulted. They called the
scholars up in regular order, both up
stairs and down, and dismissed them
! with the same order and precision that is
observed In closing the regular sessions.
by this means the scholars all safely
reached the street without any mishap
save slight confusion which existed
when the scholars from the upper and
lower rooms met in the vestibue. The
CONFUSION, however, was but momentary
and occasioned no unhappy results.
The greatest excitement, however, was
| occasioned in the immediate neighbor-
hood. The report that the school was on
fire brought hundreds of mothers from
| their homes, and it was not until they
reached the school and saw the scholars
safely reaching the street that their
anxiety was allayed and their fears re-
lieved.

THE COMING ATTACK OF THE ANTI
HAYES MEN ON THE PRESIDENT
sPEcIMENT MEN WHOM THEY DESIRE Ap.
POINTED TO OFFICE.
WAsHINGToN,rMarch 81, 1873.
The "stalwarts," as the anti Hayes re.
pubhcans call themselves, mean, it il
said, to begin long meditated attack
apon the Presidents Southern and civi
service policies next week. Senator
Howe, whose term of service expires
next March, and whose chances for re-
election are said to be not SO good as his
admirers wish, intending to lead off In a
speech ON Monday on his resolution
concerning Whitaker of New Orleans
The notions of these people abou, civil
service reform may be understood from
the fact that they are excited and horri.
fed about the character of this Louis.
lana State Judge, over whom the Presi.
dent has no authority whatever, while
they storm at the suggestion that Wells
and Anderson should be turned ont of the
federal Offices they hold, and there is
even amovement to induce the President
to appoint Anderson or his partner,
Cant, to the Collectorship of New Or.
leans. Yet if the "stalwarts" were sin.
cerely anxious to make the public service
reputable they could easily show up the
characters of these two men; their his
tories are officially written in several
Congressional investigations. or Ar
derson, witnesses before the Louisiana
Elections Committee of 1876 testified on
an oath that he was formerly known as
Keno Anderson because he was charged
In the county in which he lived with
having cheated at a keno tables that un-
der the republican rule in Louisiana, and
While he was State Senator, he helped to
pass an act giving $50, 900 of State bonds
to the Bayou BBuf Navigation Company,
he and one Cant being the owners of the
charter; that these bonds were sold by
an agent in New York at eighty cents on
the dollar and the proceeds received by
Anderson, and that the improvement
which they were to make for this money
OF the State was never made, at most
So,6OO or $4,000 having been spent, and,
according to the testimony of several
witnesses, with injury rather than ad-
vantage to the navigation of the stream,
the rest Of the money being pock.ted by
Anderson and Cant, the latter of whom,
oy the way, turns up here now as an as
pirant for the New Orleans Collect ,r.
ship, II this responsible post should be
denied to Anderson. These particulars
are gathered from a Congressional re.
port, nut if the Senate should want
further details 1t could easily to get them
from responsible witnesses in New Or
leans.

The Camden IN. IL Murderer
The Confession and its
Result.

PHILADELPHIA, March 21-Tbe start
ling disclosures made by Thos. Graham
in. the Camden IN. j.. murder case
have awakened the liveliest interests
both here and in Camden. The police
authorities have been at work all day
worming out points in the confession,
and to night The prosecuting attorney
says that all of Graham's statements have
been found to be true; that Graham even
mentioned matters which they knew
nothing about, and these have been also
verified. The case now, so the prosecutor
OF the Pleas says, is ready for trial. As
precaution against possible attempt
at sulcl1e Hunter was imprisoned to-day
In the 'cage," contrivance built in the
centre of a large room especially for
murderers, through the bars of which
every movement of the prisoner can be
seen. His suspenders and knife and
fork were also taken from him. He main
tains solid indifference and still pro-
tests his innocence.
His counsel stated to-day that the New
York Mutual and the Manhattan Life
Insurance Companies had, previous to
the arrest and confession of Graham, made
overtures to him to settle at so per cent
of the amount due on the life of Arm
strong, the murdered man, for whom
Hunter held the policies, but that Hux-
ter refused the offer. The agents of
these companies here say that they have
no knowledge of any such overtures, and
If made at all they came from the New
York offices. They also say they doubt
if any person was authorized to effect
such settlement. Graham, who made
the confession duplicating himself and
Hunter, and by which it appears that
Hunter hired Graham to kill Armstrong
in order that he (Hunter) might receive
the insurance on Armstrong's life, is also
confined IN tthe Camden Jail. file ap-
peared very much distressed to-day; still
asserts that he fled after striking the first
blow, and that Hunter completed the
murder, but says his mind is much re-
lieved since he made the confession.

The IS Thunderer. on the Fish,
cry Awards.

LONDON, MARCH 21.-The Times on
the fishery award says that it is very un,
fortunate for the good fame of the
United States that, at a moment when
the financial policy of Congress has
awakened grave suspicious and anxieties
in Europe, some American politicians OF
considerable Importance and notoriety
display another phase of the repudating
spirit in opposing the payment of the
award. No country henceforward will
be willing to refer claims to arbition If
the decisions of the arbitrators are liable
to be changed by tie unsuccessful party.
1t would be as unwise as undignified for
the land and all the civilized world BY a
refusal to pay an indisputable claim. -:

Church supper.

Last evening a supper was given in
the vacant house No. 1923 Market street.
by the young people of the First Presby>

very large, and the young ladies were
assiduous in their attentions to their
guests, smiling upon them with the
sweetest of smiles, and supplying them
literally with good coffee and many
tempting edibles. After the supper
Thomas NJ. Ogle auctioneered off num-
ber of innocent looking packages, which
contained various articles of value, from
pound of sawdust to a pound of sugar.
The bidding was spirited, and occa-
stoned great merriment. Among those
present were representatives from
nearly all the charches OF the city.

The Appeal for Mercy.
THE DELEGATION CONVINCED THAT GOV,
CoCHRAN's ACTION rs CORRECT.

OoChhANb ACTION IS CORRECT.
As stated yesterday, delegation of
prominent citizens went to Middletown,
yesterday, to make a last appeal to Gov
ernor Cochran for respite for the con-
demned negroes, Collins and Cbambers
who were hung at New Castle, this morn,
ing. The delegation was courteously re-
ceived by His Excellency, who consider
ately listened to all the arguments put
forth in favor of the negroes. Each ar
gument was then taken up by the Cover
nor, and answered so effectively by fact
and statement, that the visitors were
unanimously convinced that his position
was a correct one, and that in right and
justice the sentence of the law should be
carried out. The visiting gentlemen had
| all been misled by the untrue and garbled
statements published by the newspapers
that have been champoning the cause of
these negro outragers, and when the
Governor proved the falsity of these
statements, and showed them iirefragible
PROOF OF the correctness of the facts of the
| case aS testified to at the trial, they freely
admitted that they had been deceived,
and that there really existed no grounds
on which Executive clemency could with
propriety be asked for.
Throughout, the interview was marked
with the utmost cordiality and good feel
ing on both sides, and the visitors were
satlshed that the statements to the effect
that the Governor had been rude and ar
bitrary to the friends of the condemned
men on previous occasions were false in
every particular. The delegation return
| ed to Wilmington on the evening train.
The Rev. j. l.. Houston, aslho returned
from Conference, was the last to see Gov.
Cochran, as to the case of the two con-
demned men. He went over the ground
traversed, (Which was on Gov Cochran's
farm) where the crime, for which they
are to suffer, was perpetrated. He visited
the gentleman with whom these two ne
groes lived, and visited the colored fam-
ly who heard the first inquiry about
work.
Mr. Houston had visited New Castle
some weeks ago, distributing papers and
tracts, and incidentally dropped into the
room of the condemned men. He heard
their tale, visited Clegg, one of the wit
nesses, in the City Hall cells. Canvassed
the subject yesterday with Mr.. Naudain,
the committing magistrate, heard the
confession of the younger negro, Collins,
before the Squire, and was gathering up
the case in the country when
the delegation arrived from Wilmington
to wait on the Governor. After they
came off he waited on the Governor, and
returned to Wilmington this morning,
convinced that the negroes will certainly
be hung TODAY.
