Master of the Situation.

Senator Cameron has achieved a dis
tinguished reputation for dogged Obsti-
macy, and he has earned it. 1t is strong
quality, and an invalua BILE co in poll
tical leader. Courage to stand firm is Il
prime quality, and, with moderate
amount of sense and a plentiful supply of
cash, will see nearly any political leader
through to the achievement of his pur-
pose: The chances very much favor
Senator Cameron'S confirmed domination
of his party in this state. No one appears
who is able to lead a successful resistance
to him, backed though such an effort
would be by what seems to be the strong
sentiment of the masses of the Republi-
can party in the state against the third
term idea that the senator announces his
determination to commit the cOnven-
ton to. 1t is singular that SO pro
nOunced 4 sentiment among the people
does not seem able to call out cOmpe-
tent champion of it. 1t needs but little
sagacity. one would think, to induce
some man of nerve to wreStle with the
champion of Grants nomination and no
great skill or courage to defeat him,
when the feeling in his party is against
him. But it will require more of both
sense and courage than will he found in
the Harrisburg convention tomorrow to
defeat Senator CamerOn's purpose, judg-
ing from present appearances. There
will be feeble howl from the opposition,
US there generally is, but it will be only
set up to be suppressed, and the whipped
ours will follow quietly along at the heel
of the huntsman. They will be g unani-
NOUS in the hope of bone, or in the ex-
pcctation that they may find chance to
treacherously leap at the throat of their
master under cover of the night.

"A Listener Who Didn't Hear.

New Era.
A writer in the Examiner, who signs
himself "a LISTENER to the
legal argumen: of Mr.. Shapley on Friday,
gives quotation which he says ''the learn
ed gentleman from Philadelphia failed to
quote" and adds {:
Il quote it for him. and our community may
then begin to see that there are two sides to the
question now engaging public attention. L
quote from Watts and Sergeant, page pa. the
opinion in which was delivered by Judge Rod-
Eawic l9D it is held that j: is breach of pro-
feSsional fidelity to attack "ctc.
Now the fact is Mr. Shapley devoted
more attention in his argument to the
opinion OF Judge Gibson in the Austin
case than to any other point or citation,
assuming at the outset of his remarks that
it was one of the only two cases to rely
on to justify its proposed action and hav-
ing finished his discussion of Gibson s
opinion in that case, he quoted the very
case which GA LISTENER" didn't hear, and
commented upon it as follows:
I'm McLaughlin's case W. 4 s. 272.the court
said, In Austin and others Is Rawle l3l it Is
| held that it is a breach of professional hdelty

HEAVY SNOW STORM.

The Ground Hog Getting; in His Work.
Rapidly following the cold, bright sun
shine which ushered in grounding day,
comes the heaviest snow storm of the sea-
son. About o'clock last night the snow
commenced to fall and has continued,
almost without intcrmission, to the present
time (nOon), attaining depth of fully six
inches on the level. Being accompanied
during the night by a brisk cast wind, the
snow has driftcd good deal, the ground
in some places being quite bare, and at
others covered to a depth of two Or three
feet. Alon. the railroads some of the cuts
were blown full of snow, but thus far
there has been comparatively little deten-
ton of trains. The snow-shovel brigade
are having ':boom," and are making
the most of it. The sleishing is not yet
good, but will be when the roads are better
broken-that is, if the temperature keeps
down.

TUESDAY EVENING, FEB. 3. 1880.
Take Her.

They tell us again that Mr.. Tilden is
about being married. We hope it is true
but we suppose it is false. We hope it
is true because we want Mr.. Tilden to be
happy, and he seems to want something
to make him happy. If wife will fill
the void place, and is ready to fill it, let
it be filled. But we doubt the report
because Mr.. Tilden does seem to lack the
boldness necessary for the undertaking.
To take wife must be, to a man who
has so long shrunk from the attempt, a
more gigantic essay than to capture a pres
idency to which he has been chosen. The
bride may have elected him and may be
waiting for him, but to 60 boldly up to
her and adopt the necessary means to re.
duce her into possession, at the altar OF
the church and in the presence of the
people and out of the hands OF
her sisters and her cousins and
her aunts, who hang Oh to hel
with weeping eyes and great tenacity
takes more courage than Mr.. Tilden ha:
ever demonstrated the possession of. Still
he may be able to do it. We willingly
hand him over the bride if he will have
her, and hope she may reconcile him t.
the loss of the presidency, which we can
not trust him again to take. In his re
tirement from political cares the sOlact
of 4 wife will be very grateful to our eX
president, who is now cr pretty much al
of the joys as well as cares of existence
and has but his memories and his con
science, his ills and his cash to bless ant
trouble him. \ wife is about the onl.
good thing left for him to take, and i
he would marry our Pennsylvania cir
who is the latest candidate for his mate
he would do very good thing. The
compliment to the state would hardl..
help him materially in canvass for it:
vote, and we are sure he would not eXpec
it. If he takes wife we know that i
will be with intent to give her all hi
thought and attention and to divorce him
self from politics and politicians. Th
Pennsylvania maiden may be in fact
cunning seduction of Tammany, con
trived to lure away their enemy from
his revengeful following of their trial.

NICHOLAS II. had an imperial way OF
meeting dangers he marched straight up
to them. One day he heard that a market
riot had broken out, and that the populace
had risen against the inspectors and the
''men in blue" or gems darmes. The
Gar jumped into his sleigh, drove straight
to the scene of the conflict, harangued
the rioters, and called upon the ringleaders
to give themselves up. The ringleaders
surrendered without a murmur, and were,
probably, all transported, for the Gar was
no sentimentalist, and showed little mag
nanimity in dealing with rebels. On an
other occasion Nicholas heard that pro-
fessOr Of the University of St. Petersburg
was conspiring against his life, proof of
this offence having been obtained through
letters seized at the postoffice. The Gar
wrapped himself in his furred cloak and
set out on foot to call upon the professor,
who almost swooned at the sight of him.
"Shut the door," said the emperor,
quietly, as he walked in. "Tell me who
your accomplices are and give NE all your

CanerOns Big Contract.

Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, Rep.
1t is perfectly clear that General Grant
cannot be next president of the United
States unless he be nominated, and unless
the people vote for him. He possibly can
be nominated; but by no earthly possibil-
ity can he be voted for by enough Repub-
licans to secure his election. In every
close state, in all states where success de.
mands the concentration of the vote on the

by the Independents, the Liberals, the Con-
the anti-thirl termists, ard the
Germans. The states of Ohio, Wisconsin,
and New York, with their enormous Ger-
man Republican populations, which ace
must carry. or loose tile presidtnry, cannot
be c0rried for Gencral Grant.

Taking Their Time.

Our judges are taking their time to
consider the motion taken to disbar us,
and that is very right. We do not grudge
them any amount of time needed to en-
Tighten their understanding and to en-
able them to consult the numerous au-
thorities in Mr.. Shapley's brief. They
will find it quite exhaustive of the sub
ject and a very great saving to them of
time and labor in securing a mastery of
it. We hope they will enjoy the investi-
cation and find their minds in fit state
some day to give righteous decision
which will stand the fire of criticism.
Both judges must concur in the decision,
so that both need to inform themselves
of the merits of the question. AS it is a
very grave one and their time is much
occupied just now in court business we
cannot demand too speedy a decision :;
but we want it at the very earliest con-
venient date, as it is simple
justice to ourselves and to the bar
that our challenged fitness to be members
of the bar shall not long remain a dis
puted point. We say that justice to the
bar requires this, because as We
look at the question it is rather
one of the fitness of the bar and
the judges to associate with us than
of ours to associate with them.
AS honest critics of official impropri-
etieS we cOnsi der that no society is too
elevated to decline our association; Ger
tainly it is not for those charged with such
imprOprietieS to remove from us the hem
of their garments. 1t is manifestly i'm
possible, for instance, to accord to Messrs.
Eshleman and Brown, who fail to defend
the wrongful conduct as attorneys with
which we charge them, places in an
honorable bar, from which we are ex
cluded because we have declared their
conduct disgraceful and called to ac-
count the judges who failed to investigate
it unless it is shown that our allega-
tions are false. If the judges will direct
an inquiry into the facts, and it shall be
ascertained that our charges were mali
cious and unfounded, we will let the rule
he entered disbarring us without objec-
tion and without appeal.

LEAP-YEAR BALL.



Last evening at the Stevens house was
held the most brilliant society ball given
in this city within a long time past. 1t
was a leap-ycar ball got up under the OK
elusive management of ladies belonging to
the best society of Lancaster, and the sue
cess which crowned their efforts proved
them to be fully equal to the arduous re-
sponsibiIities assumed. The ladies ell
gagged the house, the music and the re-
freshments they sent out the nvi-
tations, furnished the carriages,
and escorted the gentlemen to the ball
room, and acted as floor managers. The
ladies were elegantly costumcd and danced
like fairies. About midnight a sumptuous
banquet was served, the ladies escOrting
the gentlemen to tie banquet hall and
showing them all the attention usually be-
slowed by them on the gentler sex. The
party, which was much enjoyed by al!
present, broke up about O'Clock.

Col. Quay said to Harrisburh Telegraph
reporter yesterday that his contact with
thcdelegatcshe he has met in travelling through
the state convinccs him that the cOnven-
tion will declare for Gen. Grant. While
there is in many quarters a genuine Blaine
sentiment, it is manifest that the solid
thinkers are prcdisposed towards the ex-
president. They point to Blainc's com
plication in the MuIligan letters, his mis-
taken position on the Chinese question, and
the animosity existing between him and
Senator ConkIing. as weaknesses which not
even the party discipline will be able to
Oblitcrate. In addition, while the senator
from Maine Is cordially hated by the
Southern BOurbons who control Congress,
he is not feared, and consequently they
would not hesitate to count him out in
case of his election.
