Those EnumeratOrS.

The Democrats were entitled to One-half
the officials under the census. This was
and is the understanding of all parties s,
and the Democrats had the power to en-
force it through their majority in the
Senate. They needed no trades or traf-
ticking with the enemy to secure it. But
supervisors and enumerators were to be
appointed with reference exclusively to
their fitness for the important duty be-
fore them, and with no reference to par
tisanship whatever. What Mr.. Cameron
and the Republican ring will do with
their share may be judged from their
past conduct; but We have no hesitation
in saying that any attempt to use the ap.
pointments which fall to the lot of the
Democrats in any district in order to
bring or force the return of delegates to
the state convention in The interest OF
any leader or faction, would be gross
insult to the party; and its consumma'
tion in any instance an outrage not to be
borne. Such methods must be left to the
Republican party which acknowledges d
master. AS yet we have none-at al
events none that we are ready to ac
knowledge-or to whom we would sci
our independence for such mess OF pot
tage as this.

KernS's Confirmation.

A dispatch from Washington to the
Philadelphia Times having declared that
it is said that Speaker Randall didn't
utter a word against Kerns, the INTEL
L1GENCER said that if that could be
shown " we shall judge Mr.. Randall by
exactly the same rules with which we
have measured Mr.. Wallace. Trojan and
Tyrian shall in this journal know no
distinction"
Since then, inquiry of Senator Thur
man, chairman of the Senate judiciary
committee, has furnished us with the
following letter written by Mr.. Randall
in opposition to Kerns's confirmation.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
WASHINGTON, ID. C., January l9, 1880.
My DEAR SIR: I concur with Mr.
Wallace in recommending the rejection of
Mr.. Kerns as marshal of the Eastern dis
trict of Pennsylvania, for reasons am will
ing at any time to give to you.
Yours very respectfully,
SAM. J. RANDALL.
Hon. A. G. THURMAN.
certify that the above is a true copy.
WIN. A. MCKENNEY.
Clerk of the Senate Committee on the
Judiciary.
We are further assured that Mr. Thur
man said he would he rejected that Mr..
Randall was never asked to state his rea-
Sons before the committee, but had every
reason to be perfectly confident that the
determination of the Senate to reject
Kerns-reached after Mr.. Wallace s
speech against him - would not be
changed.

MACK's MINSTREL SHOW.

BAD Weather-IsiE Household Entertain
ment.
The very unpleasant weather did not
keep the people from the opera house
where Tommy Mack's MINISTRIES appeared
last night, and before the performance be-
gan the house was full. In the first part
there were six end men, Sam Maxwell and
Levi Nixdorf occupying the outside chairs.
They, with the others, were not slow in
amusing the audience, and each sang a
humorous song in good style. "Chiming
Bells Of Long Ago" was very sweetly
rendered by Tommy Mack, and George w.
Pontz pleased all with his singing Of
"Angels Whisper of My Mother" Part
second opened with horizontal bar per-
formance by Wilmer and Hambright, in
which these boys, who are quite young,
showed great deal of skill. Later in
the evening young Wilmer appeared in a
stilt act. Gus. Grove followed this
act in his Lancashire clog, and
showed himself to he a fine dancer.
The banjo playing of Harris and Retallick
was very good, as railways is, and it never
fails to please. The next act on the bills
was that of the Big 81 which is COM
posed of McSorley, Turner and Mack. Mr..
McSorley was unable to reach this city
yesterday, and Mr. Grove took his place at
short notice. The act of these three was
the main feature ofthe show and they were
recalled several times. Their business is
after the style Of the King High Kickers
and they bid fair to rival that famous
quartet at some future day.
Sam Maxwell, who made his first ap-
pearance here last night, was we'll received
in his very funny speciality of "The
Watermelon Man." Charles Shay's old
darkey impersonations were true to nature.
Daniel Clemmens, in Musical Moments"
played OH a number of instruments, a
feature of his performance being the drum
solo.
In the challenge clog dance, for which
Mr.. Mack gave silver cup, Cochran and
Stone, and Coulman and Boettner were
entered. Judges were selected from the
audience, and when the dancing was
concluded the cup was awarded to
Coulman and Boettner. The other two
are younger and smaller than the winners.
Both pairs showed a great deal of skill.
When the clog dance had been finished
the pie-eating match was announced. A
colored boy and little white fellow, each
with his hands tied behind his back, were
brought on the stage and we're started at
eating the two pies which stood on the
table before them. The darkey had a
structed for demolishing pies, and he
easily won the match.

Special Allocatur In Philadelphia Within
Three HOuKs.
TAP. m. yesterday Mrs. Susan Coon
ley, convicted of conspiring to debauch a
minor child under stimulation of marriage,
was called before the court for sentence.
Mrs. Coonley, heavily veiled and attended
by her counsel, J. L. Steinmetz, esq, ap-
peared at the bar of justice.
Before sentence was imposed Mr.. Stein
metz directed the attention of the court to
the case of Hartman ct. al. VS.. common
wealth in 5th Barr, p. GO, in which the su-
preme court has decided that conspiracy
to do an act punishable by statute cannot
be more severely punished than would be
the successful perpetration of the offense.
He held that in the Coonley trial no legal
evidence having been furnished. of the
alleged fact that DeLeon was a married
man, Mrs. CoOnley could not have been
convicted of conspiring to do anything but
procure fornication, and therefore could
not be sentenced more severely than the
legal punishment for fornicatiOn, which
could not exceed 800 fine.
The judges put their heads together and
after a short conference Judge Patterson
overruled Mr.. Steinmetz's point and said
that as common law Offense was charged
the punishment was within the discretion
Of the court, and he sentenced Mrs. Coon.
ley to undergo an Imprisonment of thir.
teen months in the common Jail, the Ian.
caster county prison, pay 500 fine and the
costs of prosecution.
While the deputy sheriff took charge Of
the defendant Mr.. Steinmetz hurried tt
Philadelphia in the $50 train. He ap
peared before the judges of the supreme
court had a special writ of allocatul
granted and was back to Lancaster by
11:3O p. m. The effect of this writ viii
remove the proceeding to the supreme
court, and suspend the sentence of thi
court meanwhile.
This afternoon the parties to the cast

the supreme court, accepted the recogni
zance of Mrs. Coonly in the sum of 81, ,OO(

This morning shortly before 8 o'clock a
young man named Addison Miller was
riding colt across the railroad track op-
