What Justice Swayne said abOut the DeGolyer
Matter.

Washington, July lS.-A decision render
ed in 1875 by Justice Swayne, of the United
States Supreme court, has been called int
prominence by the fact that it settles the
question of General Garfield's position in
the DeGolyer matter beyond doubt, and
exposes the weakness and absurdity o.
the arguments employed by his adherents ir
the vain hope of purifying his record upor
the S., 900 fee matter. The case in which
this opinion Of Justice Swayne was render
ed was that of Chittenden against Mcclellan
and others. 1t was tried in Cook county, ILL.,,
in May, 1875, and was decided on appea
in October, 1879, in the UpitCd States Su
preme Court. 1t may be said that Justice
Swayne is a thorough republican and al
Ohis man. The Supreme court opinion wal
delivered in the case of Burke against Chile

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. G. July 20Ih, 1880.

Some one has kindly sent to our cores
pondent, Maine newspaper containing al
account OF certain "bulldozing" operation,
| off Democratic mob in Hyattsvile, Mary.
land, village five miles from this city. /
it were not that "bulldozing" stories will
form great feature OF the radical campaign
this fall, | would not mention this one. The
truth is that the story of violence Is made
out ofwhole CLOTH and that Hyattsville and
all its people were as calm as the day itsel
when the "bulldozing" is reported to have
taken place. Your correspondent speak,
from personal knowledge, his residence be-
ing there and he being present all of the day
named in the Maine paper, 1t will be well
to take all such stories with great allowance
especially if told during political campaign
all may not be wholly false like this one
but | doubt not, more are pure inventions
than have any foundation, and that all real
al effect.
Some days since, stories were ahoat here
that there was a growing GOODNESS between
Mr.. Hayes and his Secretary of the Treas
ury. They will be revived now probably,
as Mr.. Hayes yesterday sent peremptory
order for the issue of n commission to the
new Savannah collector, against an equally
peremptory order from Secretary Sherman
before going away on his pleasure trip, that
it should not he issued until his return.
General Arthur gets more credit on all
sides for fraukness than General Garfield
did, in the matter of their letters of accept.
ance.
The greatest merit of Arthurs letter is
lie manner in which the sham reform sys-
TEN of the administration is alluded to. Ar
thur, whether guilty as indicted by Hayes
and Sherman, has felt the halter draw, and
Goes not hesitate to express his opinion free
ly. His own ideas on the subject are sound.
We shall probably never know from expe-
rence whether or not, those of Hayes and
Schurz, would work well, for those Southern
men have never put them in practice, and
their successors will no doubt know better
than to attempt it.
Only one member of the Cabinet is here;
two are speaking for Garfield in the west
and the others are on summer excursions to
various points. Mt. Hayes will go to Ohio,
early in August, and thence to the Pacific
coast 1t is said since he occupied the
White House, Mr.. Hayes has contributed
lberally-of Mr.. Tilden's money, of course
to the Republican campaign fund in his
own State.
He is the only office-hoder in the Union
who has not been asked to contribute two pei
cent of their salary to the cause.
William E. Chandler who bossed the col.
lectoEs one year was of too tender con.
science to ask Mr.. Hayes to give away what
did not belong to him, and the example o.
Chandler has been followed.
The National Board of Health yesterday
received dispatches to the effect that no case
of yellow fever had occurred this season at
Memphis. Strong hopes are felt that the
Southwest will escape the plague this
season.

How Tom 0chiltree Did His Duty.

Tom explains, "and every--delgate in

got there and they remained true to him with
the exception of one Niger from Alabama.
He was bought up the third day after his

the transaction | went for that niger and

ranks, money and all. He stayed there un-

is good second choice and am going to

We hereby inform the republ ican party
that Chester A. Arthur late collector of
customs, has been nominated as their can

duty to suspend you, in order that the office
may be honestly administered" ."--R, B

tinued and increased during your incumben-
cy"-John Sherman to Collector Arhw Jan.
uary, 81 1879.
"Persons have been regularly paid by you
who have rendered little or no service, that
the expenses of your Office have increased

YOU have in no case supported the effort
to correct these abuses" ."--Secretary Sherman

Democrats, don't forget that James A.
Garfield was member of the Electoral Com
mission and voted with the eight, ch ating
Mr.. Tilden out of the Office of President to
which he had been legally elected, Of that
fact no honest man now has doubt. And
don't forget also that before he sat he took
and subscribed the following oath:
II. JAMES A. GARFIELD DO SOL.
EMNLY SWEAR THAT WILL I'M
PARTIALLY EXAMINE AND CONSID.
Err ALL QUESTIONS SUBMITTED TO
THE COMMISSION OF WHICH 1 AM
A MEMBER, AND A TRUE JUDO
MENT GIVE THEREON, AGREEABLY
TO THE CONSTITUTION AND THE
LAWS; so HELP ME GOD"
And all the world now knows how that
oath was falsified. How he voted to sustain
what Judge Black calls "a shameless swim
die; not merely fraud, but fraud detected
and exposed"

Hon. E. Joy Morris of Philadelphia, a
life long Republican, an Ex-Congressmen
and U. S. Minister to Turkey agrees with
our friend Forney about General Hancock,
and in late interview says:
"Of General Hancocks patriotism and
loyalty to the Union there can be as little
question of his civic abilities and his official
and private integrity. His honor is as un-
assaiable as his valor. If he should be
elected President have no doubt he would
endeavor to promote the interests Of the
country, to revive good feeling between the
North and South, and in every contingency
to uphold the dignity and rights of the re-
public. His statesman record would be as
honorable as his military career. am Re-
publican but this is no reason why should
refuse to recognize the illustrious service anc
the well-earned fame of man like Genera
Hancock.

That Sherman Letter.

When the republican papers gave with
great circumstautiality Al account of a let
ter said to have been written to General
Sherman by General Hancock in the spring
of 1877, we hoped the letter would be made
public as the contents as foreshadowed would
have clearly increased his strength before
the people. Nov however, 1t is ascertained
that the story is like all Others against him,
pure fabrication. The New York World,
publishes the following special from James
town, Dakota:
JAMESTOWN, OAK, July 15.--General
Sherman, who has just arrived here from
Fort Totten, where he has been for some
days beyond the reach of the telegraph, is
in.excelent health. He declines to be in
terviewed in regard to his correspondence at
any time with General Hancock, but states
emphatically that he has no recollection of
ever hearing anything from General Han
cock about taking orders from Mr.. Tid en-, or
indeed anything at all like the stories which
have been printed and published about this
correspondence with General Hancock This
was not needed by any one who knows Gen
eral Hancock or General Sherman; but il
may be of use to the gossips and romancers
of the press.

CONGRESSIONAL CONFEREES.

The convention of corferees for the elev-
enth congressional district, in 1878 ended in
split, and resulted in the nomination of
two candidates for congress, one of whom
was elected by very small majority over
the republican candidate. In district that
can give majority of several thousand in
our favor, there ought not to be a repetition
of what occurred in 1878, and in order to
prevent this there are several matters that
should be looked after. One of these is,
what representation should be allowed each
county in the conference? The split in 1878
was caused by the refusal of Columbia, Car
bon and Monroe counties to sdmit dele.

and Lackawanna. Montour and Pike
Joined with Luzerne and Lackawanna and
subsequently, one delegate from Columba
went into that conference. Taking the past
as a guide, the. party should adopt such
measures this year as will prevent the occur
rences of 1878.
Are Luzerne and Lackawanna each enti
tied to three confereesi Previous to the di-
vision of Luzerne that county was satisfied
with representation equal to the othe
counties in the district. When Lackawan
ma was formed the Democratic vote was no
increased, but the portions of the two coun
ties came knocking at the door of the confer
ence asking to be admitted with delegation
double that of any other county having a
many democratic votes as both the Luzern
and Lackawanna portions of the district
This is no bold assertion. 1t is based on fig
ures and here they are. In 1878 the vote fo
CONGRESS stood as follows:

One of Mr.. Hayes Secretsrys, Thompson
by name, went out to Indiana and made a
speech for Garfield in which he "Warned
the Democrats that the army and nary a'ould
take hand in this election and that Hayes
acW be equal to any emergency." Thus the
fraudulent protector of thieves, forgers and
puriurers threatens the Democrats with the
army to carry the elections.

as the ''unterrifed democracy" who seated
Gov. Parker in spite of the army and Ste
phens Wiconisco bullies. Hancock will be

DR.. Tanner, Minnesota physician, has
assumed the voluntary task of fasting forty
days in New York. He is now on his fourth
week without tasting food of any kind
though he drinks water freely. His strength
remains, but he has lost eighteen or twenty
pounds in weight. A committee of doctors
are watching him day and night and it is
pretty certain there is no sham about it. Just
what he expects to prove by this exp eriment
does not seem quite clear,

In the selection of members of the stand
ing committee this year, it is specially urged
upon the Democratic voters to select active
and energetic men. There will be plenty OF
work and there must be some one to do it.
In former campaigns it has too often been
the case that when meetings were appointed
and the speakers have been obliged to find
hall and hunt up an audience after their
arrival. There must be no such negligence
this year.

Mr.. Garfield voted in Congress to repeal
the duty on foreign coal For which the
coal miners will be duly thankful, and fol
which they will give their vote to General
Hancock. A British Free Trade Golden
Clubist is not likely to be pet among the
coal miners. Most of them have had enough
of English government.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1880-07-23

General Hancock ought not to be elected,
because he is nothing but soldier, so say
the republican organs, and yet these same
organs and their party elected Grant twice,
and attempted TO nominate him for third
time, because he was soldier. 1t is a poor
rule that works only one way.

The mermaid which served to help Bar
mum on to fame and fortune as Snowman,
| about forty years ago, caused great deal of
| excitement at the time. Barnum now tells
the story according to n correspondent of the
| indianapolis journal, as follows: "Moses
Kimbal came from Boston with what he
declared was a genuine mermaid. The low.
er part was the tail of shark or some large
| fish, but the upper part was not of woman's
| form by any manner of means. 1t was
hideous head and shoulders-apparently Of
some sort of ape. Pretty soon Letter was
was written from Mobile to the Herald with
the announcement that a man had landed
there from the Sandwich Islands, bringing
a genuine mermaid. 1t had not been seen
and would not be exhibited, for it was on
its way to the London Geological Gardens
This was copied all over the country. In
another week letter announced that the
wonder had arrived at Charleston, on its
way to New York, whence it would sail to
London. A more detailed account of the
wonderful creature was given. This served
to swell the Curiosity. From Baltimore came
still other letters and then l sent my man to
Philadelphia, carrying the mermaid in a
closed box. He put up at the best hotel, land
cultivated the landlord. To him, just as he
was paying his bill and leaving, he confined
the secret that he was the Englshman who
caught the mermaid. Now, see here said
the landlord, you must let me see it, After
much pursuasion the mermaid hunter yielded
then he said. See here you must let me
| show it to one or two reporters After much
importantly the weak Britisher yielded, and
limited exhibition was permitted. The
Philadelphia papers blazed with it next
morning The ext day it was brought to
New York, the same performance was gone
through with at the Astor House, The pa
pers were full of it, aud the city WAS all

exhibition was allowed, except tn reporters.

HE ACCEPTS THE NOMINATION. AND
GIVES HIS VIEWS REGARDING PRO-
HIBITION.


PORTLAND, Me, July 20.-General Neal
Dow has written a letter accepting the nom
ination for the Presidency by the National
Prohibition party. After commenting at
some length on the liquor tariff and the res
pectability of the prohibitory movement he
concludes as follows: 81 consider the OBJ
jects of the Prohbitionists of the country to
be of supreme importance to the interests of
the nation and the peoplc. Aside from its
bearing upon the moral and religious well
fare of the people, consider the suppress
ion of the traffic to be an object Of far grea-
ter political importance than any other now
claiming the attention of the country. My
life has been largely devoted to the accom-
plishment of that purpose. Perhaps may
live to. see my dearest hopes in relation to it
realized, at least in this, my own state. But,
however that may be, in the future as in the
past shall keep that object in view. While
| sincerely wish that the choice of candi-
date of the Cleveland convention had fallen
upon some other than myself | accept the
nomination willingly, being sure that it will
prove to-be the humble beginning of tr-
umphant end"

Luzerne x Laekawn'a A

Now, while that portion of the district
originally located in Luzerne has been divi-
ded by the erection of new county, there
is no reason why its representation should
be doubled. The two parts together form
only one section OF the district and should
be so represented. This was the view taken
by the congressional delegation to the State
convention, which adopted the following
Resolved, That We commend the adoption
of the following rule as the guide for the
present and future conferences of this ma
ture, to-wit: That the territory of Luzerne
county lying within the 1lth district shall
be allowed one representative from the 4th

Lackawanna lying within il shall be allowed
one. The said representatives TO be chosen
