IT is "a satisfaction to know that the
Court of Quarter Sessions of Dauphin
county, which convened ON Monday
last. is presided over by one of the old

rupt solicitation of a member of the
Legislature. having reference of course
TO the indictments against KcmbIc and
others. 1t is very evident from his
elaborate instructions TO the Grand

WHAT Grant refused to say to Harry
White about a third term, in his letter
to that amateur statesman short time
before the meeting of the Republican
National Convention at Cincinnati in
1876, he Grant is represented now by
some newspaper editors to have said to
the Eiceroy of Tientsln, China, in a
conversation which recently took place
between them. 1t viii be remembered
that the letter to White was beautifully
non-committal on the subject OF a third
term-that it was a puzzle to the coun-
try closely akin to the ways of the Thin
ble-rigger when he says to his dupes.
You pays your money and you takes
your choice" In the interview at
Iientsin, the Niceroy referred to the
time when Grant would again be Presi-
dent of the United States. to which the
latter replied Your ExceIlency is
very kind, but there could be no wish
more diStasteful to me than what YOU
express. I have held the office of Pres
ident as long as it has ever been held
by any man. l have no claims to the
Office. l have had my share of it, and
have had all the honors that can be or
should be given TO any citizen Now
if any man can extract out of all this
declaration against a third term. the
same man could have drawn the same
conclusion from Grant letter to White.
and it is not pretended that any one
ever put upon that production con-
struction so lame and imPotent. The
Eiceroy himself was not deceived by
Grants disclaimer of any additional
honor from the people of this country.
because it is stated that from the rest
Of the conversation she was not con-
yinced that Grant would not again ac-
cept the office" Grant has never said.
either in this country or in any of the
countries he has been visiting, what it
would have been very easy for him to
say, that under no circumstances would
he accept another term as chief maCis-
trate of the American people. He will

THE influence which Dennis KeaTney J
exercises over his followers in San Fran !
cisco was very plainly illustrated by
what took place on the ''sand lot'' in
that city on last Saturday. Rev. Isaac
:. Kalloch is the Workingmen candi-
date for Mayor of the city. About
twenty-five years ago he had charge of
a church in Boston-was accused of
adultery-indicted. and escaped con-
viction, just as Beecher did from fail
ure of the jury to agree upon verdict.
He then went to Kansas, and afterwards
to California. The San Francisco
Chronicle. edited by two brothers named
DE Young. has latterly been exceedingly
bitter in its opposition to Kalloch, re-
producing the story of his Boston i'm
morality, as well as other unsavory
matters imputed to him. and slandering
his father and mother. An immense
meeting of Kalloch's supporters was
held on last Friday night, at which he
defended himself against these attacks,
and, carrying the war into Africa,
''the bastard progeny of a strumpet."
On Saturday Charles De Young
armed himself with a revolver, procured
+ a carriage. drove tOthe private entrance
of the Metropolitan Temple, where Kali
J IOch was. sent boy to tell him a lady
wished TO see him in her carriage, which
was basely false. and when Kalloch
walked up to the vehicle De Young
shot him twice, one ball entering his
i breast. \ number of Kalloch's politi-
cal friends, who were in the vicinity at
the time. rushed for the carriage. and
npturning it. handled De Young very
. roughly until the police rescued him
and took him to the station, where he
was locked up in cell The news of
the shooting spread through the city,
producing the most intense excitement,
and an angry crowd soon surrounded
the prison, threatening vengeance
against De Young. y meeting on the
sand lot was called, and demand
made by the crowd to go down town,
take De Young out of prison and hang
him, but Il dispatch came from Kearney.
who was at a meeting at Vallejo, twen-
ty-four miles distant, saying that he
would arrive in the city at O'Clock, p.
VI. whercupon the meeting decided not
to hang De Young until Dennis could
be heard He came. mounted the plat
form and looked down upon 20. 600 surg
ing, excited men, shouting and yelling
for De NOung's life. The crowd need
ed but word from him TO have sent
them off wildly to the prison, but Kcar-
ney reminded them that in ten days the
election would put their party in power
in the city, and then De Young would

Oleuce would he met by the revolvcrs of
the police, and the rifles and Gatling
guns of the military, and that he want
ed them 10 keep quiet and go to their
homes. They took his advice. and for
( once in his life Dennis Kearney's fnilu-
ence over his followers has shown to adj
vantage, and riot and bloodshed have
been prevented. At last accounts KaI-
lOch was recovering. De Young's
coWardly attack, it is almost needless
to say, cannot but be Of immense advan-
tage to the Kearney ticket at the cleo
tion on Wednesday next.

How TO DO IT.-They know how to

a political way, says the Harrisburg
P0trjot. The Chairman of the Demo-
cratic Committee of that county, Mr. NJ
Guswier, Of Mechanicsburg, cannot Dc
eNcelled as an organizer and political
worker. He has just issued a circular
which is given below and which is com
mended to Democratic Committees
everywhere as u model document of its
kind:

COMMITTEE, MECHANICsBURG, August Is.
lH'9.-Deor Sir: 1t is of the utmost i'm
portance that the workers of the Democratic
party be vigilant and active in this campaign
Its the SEirmiSh line of the great battle of
loSU, and no point should he left unmatched
The secret Of successful work Is in knowing
what to do, and how to do it, The object OF
ali political effort is to get the greatest poSs-
hlc number of voters to the polls To do
this we must see that all the Democrats
and those who viii vote the Democratic
ticket are qualified to vote. To be qualified
all must be registered on or before Septcm-
Der 3 ; all must have paid a State and county
tax before October ,. Particularly we must
see that those who have reached the age Of
twenty-five since the last election have
tax assessed to them and paid. This is fire.
quGist!T Overlooked Having seen that al
Der that November ( is election day, and
that all true Democrats who love their
country and their party should turn ont and
vote. This Is an off year, and our antagon-
lists will count on our apathy and indiffer-
ence to allow them to win This must not
be No vantage ground must be surrender
ed to the enemy. y Republican in the
Sheritf's Office would be hundreds of votes
for Republican President in 1880, besides
ncalculabe injury to the local interests of
the party. Let the usual poll books be made
out with care. Let WindOwmen be selected
who viii watch the polls on election dav and

papers be literally distributed, so that the
great issues Of the day may be plainly put
before the people. Let haulers he enplOved

that the great fraud of 1876 must be wiped
