THE New Era consistently advocates
the fumigation of the robbers cave y
of Republican politicians in Philadelphia,
and quite bravely attacks Mr.. Quay and
the miserable bill which he had passed
to enrich the politicians of his stripe and
to furnish a campaign fund for his party,
against the protests of almost the entire
press of the commonwealth" The Neto
Era will of course not fail to remind its
readers that the candidate of its party in
this city for the Legislature, Mr.. De-
muth, is instructed to vote for this
same Quay for United States senator.

Florida Orange Crop Destroyed.

The recent gale which was SO disastrous
to shipping swept over Florida, stripping
the orange groves of the nearly ripe fruit,
and, so widespread was the STERN, that
there is no doubt that the Florida orange
crop this year has been destroyed. The
season had been unusually productive, the
fruit being entirely full grown. but now
lies on the ground worthless. It was cs-
timated that the yield would be about
million of boxes, and it is doubtful whether

"TlIE RORBEls,S CAVE"

Fattening Among tho Ample Spoiis.
New Era.
The ''infamOus recorders bill " once
more turns up, after having enjoyed y
considerable period of quiet, but it does
not come before the people under Il more
favorable guise than it did several years
ago, when Governor Hartranft's signature
made it operative. Our readers must re-
member how the Ne,o Err, along with
almost tho entire press of the common
wealth, denounced the iniquitous bill.
The Philadelphia papers were almost
without exception fierce in their de-
nunciatiOn of it. It created IN Office,
as was then believed, expressly to ac-
commodate Pardon Mill Quay, and it's
provisions were so artfully prepared, that
under them 4 salary exceeding that OF the
president of the United States fell to the
lot of the happy incumbent. According to
the original programme, Quay was ap-
pointed to fatten upon the ample spOils of
the Office. The election of Governor
HOyt, however, opened i new field, and
the man for whom the Office was created
came to an understanding with another
noted politician, David II. Lane, who, un-
der that agreement, whose provisions arc
pretty we'll known, has held the place
ever since.
The people of Pennsylvania were correct
in the views they formed Of this miserable
bill OF the politicians. 1t has been Il vcrit-
able robbers cave into which the hard
earned money Of the people has been poured
in an unceasing stream, without benefit to
themselves, the community or the state,
but solely that one of the best workers in
the party and political favOritc shall be
able to feather his nest handsomely. But
the long-suffering people arc unwilling
to he despoiled any longer through the
medium of This legal chicanery. The last
grand jury of Philadelphia county has
taken up the matter and has spoken some
plain but honest words concerning both it
and the man who fills it. It has brought
the matter to the attention Of tho court,
and in its prcscntmcht describes the re-
corder's office as being the s. revival Of an
almost forgotten Office, increasing it's
sphere of jurisdiction, aud creating an cx-
tensive and exorbitant fec list for the sole
purpose of putting the peoples money
into the private pockets Of it's incumbent,
there being no need whatever for the OF
flee, the proper exercise Of Legislative duty
calling instead for its prompt exiting
tion.'
As this office of recorder was institutc,.
specially to reward political favoritcs, it
may be no easy matter to secure its aboli-
tion, but VIC believe. on the whole, that u
better clasc of men will go to Harrisburg
next winter than those who SO willingly
lent themselves to do the bidding OF their
masters two years ago, and that il this mat
ter is brought before them Us this recon-
mends, the recorders Office Of Philadelphia
may soon be numbered with the things of
the past-somethins which every honest
man must ardently hope for.

Office and no one had authority to regis
ter my name as candidate"
The local political contest on the part
of the Republicans in Philadelphia has as
sumed an interesting phase. The McMANEs
wing of the party has left no stone unturn-
ed that would tend to cripple the Quay
and Lane factions, and in retaliation the
news comes from Harrisburg that the Cam
cron men in the next Legislature will seek
to have some law enacted which will re-
duced the fees OF the delinqent tax col.
lector, or consolidate the Office with that
of the receiver of taxes.

In s:cply to Sherman.

bdIti'NOfe saEtttc.
At D.:.npc:.stic mcetia. in Philatel:
pllia the ether night Speaker Randall made
Il brief bu, convincing reply to Secretary
Sherman prcie,ise that Democratic sue
cess in t!,s presidential election would in
volvc the pay :,cnt Of Southern claims. In
the first pace Mr.. Randall pointed out
that the fourteenth amendment to the con-
stitution. w'lic!, the Gazette has quoted
several timeS in answer to the stalwart
outcry on this point, fOrbids the payment
OF all such claims in the most unequivocal
terms. This amendment. said Mr.. Ram
dali, has been acquiesced in by all tho
people, land n,where has it been more
emphaticaliy and sincerely accepted than
by the people Of the South"
In the second place Mr.. Randall showed
that the only Southern claims that have
ever been seriously entertained arc those
which have been paid by Republican Con-
crosses: On this point he quoted from q
speech by Congressman Lockwood, of New
York, rs follows: "Mr Speaker, think
it cannot be denied that every law or de-
cisiOn Of tue courts under and by virtue of
which Southern claims have been paid,
and under which payment is now claimed,
was originated and enacted by Republi-
can Congress and interpreted by Il
Republican Judiciary, all tho Offices
of the government since the close Of
the war prior to the Forty fourth Con-
gress, legislative and executive, having
been he'll! b. the Republican party. In
addition to passin. all laws under which
payment could DC made, VIC find that tho
Republican party, prior to 1876, had act
ually paid of tho Southern claims moro
than 500, 600, ,O00." In 4 speech in the
Senate Senator Morton, Of Indiana, tho
famous leader of the stalwart wing of tho
Republican party, advocated the payment
of these claims on the ground that it would
tend to build upa loyal party" in the
South. The claims were accordingly paid
up to the return OF the Democrats to
power in the House Of Representatives.
Since then the payment Of Southern claims
Of every kind has ceased. The facts in
the case fully Justify the indignant words
with which Mr.. Randall ended his speech
How unjust and untruthful," said he.
'are the Sherman allegations against the
Democratic party in the particulars have
called to your attention. The truth of the
record sweeps aside the sccrctary's asser-
tiOns rs the hurricane sweeps the dead
leaves from the trees in autumn, and this
distinguished citizen stands convicted of
the most uniustiiiablc misrepresentation"

At the other end of the capitolisa House
which is frequently alluded to as the House
of the Confederate Tragedies. They have
no unconstitutional scruples about declar-
ing that Union soldiers shall administer
the pension agencies of this country. The
men who have served i'm the rebel army,
and have had their disabilities removed
and have come to Congress, pass section
to bill expressly declaring that the pow
ers and duties of those offices shall be ex-
crcised by disabled, wounded and honor
ably discharged Union soldiers. But when
the bill came to the Senate, a portion of
the gentlemen of that faith and a portion
of the gentlemen of the opposite political
faith, come together in body that is os
tensibly Republican, and find great many
constitutional scruples about the power Of
the executive to appoint Union soldiers to
Office. The Senate. NOM
inally Republican, attacks section that
comes from the House, actually Democrat
ic. That body, controlled very largely by
the sentiment known as the Confederate
during the war, have sent to US an open,
manly declaration that the duties of these
Offices shall be discharged by wounded and
disabled Union soldiers. = +
If Democrats and Confederates, as they are
called by the public press, can find no con-
stituti0nal difficulty about this matter. it
seems to me that VIC ought not to be par
ticularly troubled upon the point.-See
