man by the name of Harland lighted slow
match leading to 3 blast, and then signaled to
seventy feet, When he had been raised four
teen feet he struck the bottom OF a board par
tition and was thrown back to the bottom.
Thomas Crandall, a step-son of Harland, was
a witness to the accident, and promptly slid
down the rope, seventy feet, and tore the
match from the fuse in time to prevent an ex-
plosion. The act was brave one, scarcely
to be paralleled. The boys hands were terri
bly, lacerated by the friction OF the rope. The
step-father was rescued with a broken rib and
other severe bruises.

The New York Nominations.

Aside from the abstract merits Of the
question involved in the suspension Of Col
lector ARTHUR and the appointment OF Mr..
MERRITT, and Of the personal issue betweo
Senator CoNKLING and the Fraudulent Pres
ideut, the trcacherous conduct OF JOHN
SHERMAN in making this change has had
most 10 do IN deciding the action Of the
Committee on Commerce adversely to the
nomination, as 1t will have in the rejection,
which will surely follow.
II Gen. ARTHUR had been incompetent,
dishonest, iaithless to duty, or hostile to
NE policy Of the Treasury in the admins
tration OF his office, so as TO thwart it pur-
posely, a good cause would have existed for
change. But no such charge was made
when he was superseded. On the contrary,
SHERMAN then voluntarily bore testimony
to the excellent qualities Of Gen. ARTHUR,
and in no way intmated the least distrust.
He went out Of his way to hold friendly per-
sonal relations with him, and to express UNI
der his own hand sentiments which must
have been false at that time II his present
position is in any way justified.
When these facts and these letters were
confronted with the charges recently made,
both from the same source and both contra
dictory OF each other, it did not require any
argument for honorable men TO determine
50 plain a case, or any exortion Of political
or personal influence TO insure the complete
vindication OF the suspended Collector. The
worst enemy OF Mr.. MERRITT is JOHN SHEER
MAN, for he has placed him in q false po-
sltion before the public and made him the
scapegoat Of that duplicity and dishonor-
able dealing which have hitherto been so
conspicuous in his career, and notably In
consummating the Fraud through which he
now directs the great operations of the
Treasury
The rejection of Mr. MERRITT will not be a
triumph OF Senator CoNKLIEG in any other
sense than that his personal friend, Con.
Arthur. will DO sustained against false ao-

those outside the secrets OF the parties con.
cerned. But this trick will not servo the
purpose OF its inventors, il exposure can
foil them.
After the close OF the last session, AMBER
son was called as II witness 10y the Senate
Committee, on account OF his testimony and
the letters Of STANLEY MATTHEWS, which
he had produced before the POTTER COM
mittce. He refused to testify on the dis
tinct ground that MATTHEWS had declined
to Gnpear before tho House Committee, but
offered his testimony, IL MATTHEWS would
then submit to an examination by Mr.. PoT-
TER. Of course. this proposition was not
accepted, and the Committee adjourned with
the understanding that 1t would be called
together during the summer at Saratoga.
Mr.. ALLISON issued no call and there was
no meeting during the recess, and but one
since Congress assembled. and that at the
rcSuest Of the minority, when q motion was
made to summon ANDERSON from Nevada,
which the Republican majority voted down,

All the indications justify tho belief that the
resolution Of STANLEY MATTHEWS asking IN
investigation was sham, and that the Re

Golden Advice.

We are glad that MATT CARPENTER OF
Wisconsin has been elected to the Senate.
He is brilliant man, and, though promi-
nent member Of the Republican party. he has
occasionally shown remarkable degree Of
independence. The people like him, because
they believe that there is warm, red blood
in his veins
Advice beforehand is something that we
do not often prefer to our statesmen; but
wo think 50 well Of Mr.. CARPENTER that we
step out of our ordinary course to suggest
to him a rule OF political conduct which we
regard as Of very high moment, especially
for whoe-souled, strongly-tmnEing public
man. This advice il, Never, under any cir
cumstances, to be led into any attack upon
the liberty Of the press.
In a country like ours the press is the
great conservative power the hulwark Of
democratic institutions. the final defence
Of liberty and justice. Our torefathers UNI
dcrstood this. and the Constitution provides
that Congress shall make no law abridging
the freedom Of the press. This provision is
even more important now than it was then; ;
for with the progress OF Capitalization In gov
eminent, with the ideas II personal rule
which have come to be entertained In so
many quarters among US, and with the
alarming development Of corruption and
fraud In the highest places OF administra-
ton, the right Of the press to speak loudly
and without hesitation, to brand the crimi-
nal executive officer. and to denource every
conspiracy against self-government. has
now become not merely wholesome and pre-
cious, but absolutely Indispensable. the only
sure corner stone OF the Constitution and Of
the republic.
We say these things frankly to Mr.. CAR
PEWTER because we believe that he has the
Intelligence 10 understand them and the
patriotism TO act accordingly; but It would
be- well II every one OF our Legislators,
in Congress and In all our state Capitols,
could appreciate the principle we have laid
down, and never speak or vote except in ac-
cordance with the advice We have now taken
leave to offer 10 the new Senator from Wis
cOnsin.
