In commenting on Mr.. Glover's remark
able report the Philadelphia Press says:
"His statements are SO extraordinary and
often absurd as to lead to all inquiry as to
the motives which have inspired him to
make them. On the one hand it is claimed
that he is actuated by high public spirit in
seeking to expose wrong-doing. On the
other, that he has brooded over this subject
to the extent of unsettling his mind upon
it, and it is said that for this reason his
political friends declined to order the print
ing of his paper as a public document" :"
If Mr.. Glover be insane ON this subject, he
is entitled to the pity due the unfortunate; !;
but if he be the tool of the malicious or the
victim of the corrupt, reyengeful, or design
ing, he is entitled to the contempt due those
who cannot, or will not, honorably discharge
official obligations

Where the Blame Rests.


The argus attempts to do away with the
blame that is visited upon the Democrats
in Congress for their failure to provide for
the Courts, and says they twice made sufi-
cient appropriations and that the President
in both instances vetoed the bill. But it
neglects to state that the bills were encum-
bered with political legislation that the Pres
ident disapproved, and that conscientious
regard for his oath and the welfare
Of the country would not permit him
to sign. So the appropriations failed.
ADemocratic Congress undertook, in the eX-
ercise of its unquestioned right, to repeal
certain laws to which it objected. The
President interposed his veto. Congress
was unable to pass the measures over that
veto, not having the necessary two-thirds
majority. 1t then threatened to stop the
supplies, and did cut off the appropriation
for United States Marshals. 1t undertook
to coerce the Executive. Failing in that it
neglected its duty and adjourned without
making the necessary appropriations for the
running expenses of the Government. That
is the case, and Congress alone is responsible
for the plight in which the courts find them
selves. 1t disordered the public service and
threw obstacles in the way of the execution
of the laws because the President declined
to sign bills which he could not approve. In
order to revenge themselves upon himf for dis
charging his duty the Democrats have
given immunity to mail robbers and illicit
pied the Government in one of the most i'm
portant branches of its service. That is the
record the Democrats have made in the eX-
ira session. They and they alone are re-
sponsihle for the delays in the execution of
the laws which the failure to provide for the
expenses of the marshals will entail.

At last two Fahrenheits blew up,
And killed two children small,
And one barometer shot dead
A tutor with its ball
Now all day long the locusts sang
Among the leafless trees;
Three new hotels warped inside out,
The pumps could only wheeze;
And ripe old wine that twenty years
Had cobwebbed DER in vain,
Came spouting through the rotten corks
Like July's best champagne!
The Worcester locomotives did
Their trips in half an hour;
The Lowell cars ran forty miles
Before they checked their power;
Roll birthstone soon became a drug
And loco-focos fell
All asked for ice, but everywhere
Saltpetre was to SELL
Plump men of mornings ordered tights,
But, ere the scorching moons,
Their candle-moulds had grown as loose
AS Cossack pantaloons!

Accumulation OF Gold.
NEW YORK, Sept. S-The Assist
ant Treasurer here writes to the
Treasury Department as follows:
There has been no change in the
movement of gold. 1t still remains
in our vaults, whilst the amount of
certificates outstanding continues
nearly stationary. There is really
no demand for gold and as it is less
convenient than notes to handle,
not only the annual production but
imports, which are likely to be
very large this fall, will naturally
take the same direction. This ac-
emulation of coin in the treasury,
In view of the fact that customs
duties are now largely paid in
United States notes and silver GER
tificates, is conclusive evidence of
a general belief in the equality of
these notes aud in the permaneucy
of resumption. 1t will soon be me-
cessary to use portion of the sill
yer vault for the storage of gold.

Workingmen, who aimed at a gen
uine Workingmen's success in CAL
Ifornia, and who did not dream o.
securing the success OF thu
Republican party, have
right TO know how in
telligent Republicans look upor
their action in the late election
The whole thing is condensed II
the following comments from Thu
New York Tribune:
The Republicans OF California
have reason for especial satisfac
ton, when it is considered that the
Republican party has got rid Of
some very undesirable persons, and
that the Democratic party is com
pletely demoraliZed and scattered.
The result probably places Califor'
MIA In the list of safe Republican
States for the Presidential election.
The Tribune thinks that Gorham
damaged the party in the country
at large, and is heartily glad he is
gone over to the opposition. The
remarkable prostration of business
in California and the transfer of
large amounts of capital to the
East for greater security will help
to make aen realize the danger to
civilized society which Kearney-
ism and Communistic Democracy
involve. The Republican party re-
mains the only one which can be
expected to resist the destructive
tendencies of Communists, and 1t
will be strange if it does not gain
in strength largely from tue events
of the past six months. If the
Workingmen, so.called, could be
united in hearty cooperation with
the National and Greenback forces
of the Eastern States there would
be little reason for Republicans to
regret 1t. The followers of kearney
are not men who could possibly
support with enthusiasm Presi-
Dental candidate like Tilden. II
the Democratic party goes to the
extreme Western element for ideas
and a candidate it can hardly count,
even then, upon succesa in the
Golden State, while it would surely
lose New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut. On the other hand, II
it seeks success by any policy cal
culated to secure the votes of the
Eastern States, it puts an end to all
its chances in California, aud Sc
cures the Electoral vote of that
State beyond peradventure for the
Republican candidate. The demon
allzation of the Democracy will
not be without effect, moreover, in
Oregon, where conservative citi
zeus will also be driven to attach
themselves to the Republican par
ty. On the whole, the prospect il
the Pacific States is decidedly i'm
proved by the election in Califor
mia, ard Denis Kearney, if effectiv,
for nothing el3e, proves quite pc
tent as disturber and destroyer o
the Democratic party.
We thus see that, in the face o
the fact that the Democratic party
pursuant to its pledge made by tn,
Ot. IIouie SOutSubIOu WLiCI NUM-
mated Mr. Tilden for President, in
itiated the only legislation intend
ed to restrict Chinese immigration
to California-a legislation which
was vetoed by the Republican
President Hayes--the Workipgme ell
have permitted themselves to b.
used as an instrument for the over
throw of the only party which ha
actively sympathized with thei
aspirations. The Democratic part.
can afford to suffer itself to be tn
victim of ingratitude. 1t is mag
unanimous and can overlook the act
But the Workingmen themselve
cannot afford to have such q record
