The importance of the Democrats putting
forward their best men as candidates for Con-
gress will be appreciated when 1t is know that
sixty-seven Republicans and forty eight Dem
Gratis in the present Congress were elected by
pluralities or by very small majorities.
There are thirteen members from PennsYl-
vania, mostly Republicans, who were elected
by pluralities, None but popular, honest
and capable Democrats should be placed on
guard at this time.

Gar5aerd,s Success at Ball PooI.


Washington Special 10 New York World.
Gen. Garfield has been having good time
here. He has lunched, dined and supped
out nearly every meal since his arrival. and
last night after the Army of the Cumberland
banquet at the Riggs house was over, he and
party chartered the billiard-room below,
the doors were.cIosed, and they played fifteen
ball pool until after o'clock, the Presiden-
tial candidate pocketing more balls,
it is said, than anybody else. This
bilIiard-room was a favorite resort for
the Ohio member before he acquired
his new honors at Chicago. 1t is reported
that Senator Conkling made social call up
on Gen. Garfield yesterday afternoon. Sem
ator Blaine has not yet done so, however, al
though he was being entertained by some
friends in a side room at the Riggs house last
night at the same hour that Garfield was be-
ing toasted by the Army of the Cumberland
in another room. Gen. Garfield takes some
delight in showing his favorite guests the
pile of letters sent him making suggestions
regarding his Forthcoming letter of accept
ance. He has received points from almost
every section of the country and in nearly
every case the writer differs from all the 9th
ers as to what the form and contents of the
letter should be.

The New York Sun abuses Secretary
Ramsey for giving credence to the reports
that Whitaker bit off his own ears, and
says Aleck should have shown greater con-
sideration for despised and friendless ne
gro. Perhaps SO, but it should be remem-
bered that the secretary is not much of a
lawyer, and turned the documents over to
the advocate general, by whom the evidence
was pronounced sufficient for conviction.

To the Editor of the Globe.
A controversy has arisen as to the salary of
the President of the United States. Will you
decide it and oblige.
4 SUBSCRIBER.
Chapter 226, laws of 1873, passed at the
third session of the Forty second Congress,
and approved March 3, 1873, by President
Grant, provides that ''from and after the
4th day of March, 1873, the President of the
United States shall receive in full for the
term for which he shall have been elected
the sum of $4,000 per annum, to be paid
monthly" Previous to that date the salary
was $4,000 year. Gen. Grant therefore
received $4,000 year for his last term Of
four years, and Mr.. Hayes has received the
same compensation during his term of Office
The act increasing the Presidents salary
may be found on page 1876 of volume II Of
the United States statutes at large.

false and slanderous petition is being cir
culated among few of the so-called lights of
society for the purpose of securing the pardon
Of Robert Sinclair, young, hardened wretch
now in the State prison, who, in cold blood,
murdered Thos. Mackey without the least
provocation to such 1iendish act.
This young scoundrel has been known here
since his birth, and of late years it was well
known to the citizens of Saltwater that ne was
a man both useless to himself and to the COM
munity at large, and insulting and proftless to
the mother, who now in her blind zeal is work.
ing for his pardon.
The facts in this terrible murder by which
myself and helpless children have been cast
adrift upon the merciless waves of an unchari-
table world, are fresh in the minds of the citi-
zens of this place. The punishment of two
wears in the State prison is absolutely nothing
when placed side by side with the unending
and dreadful injury his cruelty has heaped
upon me and my suffering orphans.
The general verdict Of the people at the time
of his conviction was that the sentence of the
court was altogether too light. But however
that may be il is now proposed to get pardon
for this murderer after serving
but single year in prison for no
other reason than to humor the blind love of
an indulgent mother. The demands of justice
cry out against the preparation or such an
outrage The well being of society calls aloud
for the full term of punishment, which is very
light indeed and Infnitly less than the crime.
l have seen some Of those who signed the pc
tition, and who declare that they never read it
at all Now, if the signature of such men
and might here mention their names-can
have any possible weight with the executive of
this great State, where shall we look for even
handed justice, the vindication of right, or
whittier shall we fly for the security of life.
Besides all this, another thought urges me to
this poor act of duty to the memory OF my
murdered husband 1t is this. as he is now
dead and can no longer vindicate himself from
the false aspersions upon bis memory, | will
never suffer the tongue of calumny to stain his
character, all of which the above mentioned
petition is calculated to do. Not satisfied with
her son robbing me and my little children OF
nv murdered husbands comfort and support
in life by deed the foulest that can biacken
the soul of any man, the mother of this young
murderer seeks by the terms of her petition to
add TO the crime of murder enacted by her
son, that of calumny aod Misrepresentation.

CHICAGO and st. Louis have got into their
old-time quarrel as to the relative population
of the two cities. The tables are reversed
since 1870, however, and Uncle Sans emu

could have handled the questions involved 20
exhaustively and with such convincing,
overwhelming point and force.

TIE Democratic party was never defeated
at any National election when it was united
aud in good fighting condition. With
Hancock all divisions are healed, and
an overwhelming victory awaits it sln
the fall. 1t is no longer a question whether
New York, New jersey, Connecticut and
Indiana will vote the Democratic ticket.
The question is a still more serious one for
the Republican party, and it is this: Will
Illinois and Pennsylvania be saved to Radi.
calism this time or not. General Mcclure,
OF the Philadelphia Times, says that Penn
sylvania u as certain for Hancock as Ohio is
for Garfield. Hon. Lyman Trumbull says
that the ticket will sweep Illinois.

ton home TO any brain that General Han
cock fully understands the genius Of Ameri-
can institutions, and the true intent Of the
Constitution of the United States. The
General says: "THE GREAT PRINCIPLES OF
AMERICAN LIBERTY ARE STILL THE INHERI.
TANcE OF THIS PEOPLE, AND EVER SHOULD BE;
THAT THE RIGHT OF TRIAL By JURY, THE HABEAs
CORPUS THE LIBERTY OF THE PRESS, THE FREE
DOM OF SPEECH. AND THE NATURAL RIGHTS OF
PERSONS AND PROPERTY MUST BE PRESERVED"
General Hancock puts then this pointed
question: (which one OF these great princi-
pies of liberty are you ready to deny and
rspudiate2 Whoever does so, ayows himself
the enemy of huolan liberty and the adrocate of
despotism."
