compensate him for the illnatured attacks
which Liberals as we'll as Conservatives have
made upon him in late years. The significance
which will be accorded to this victory in British
politics can hardly be overestimated. To have
defeated resident nobleman, in a contest
which Mr.. Gladstone deliberately invited nearly
five months ago. is one of the most brilliant
political feats which any British statesman has
achieved in Che Victorian Age. The victory i'm
parts to the general contest the magnitude OF
political revolution, and perhaps sounds the
kDell of Conservatism, as understood and prac-
tised by Lord Beaconsfield.
Mr. Weaver had the brief satisfaction yester-
day of obtaining the recognition of the Speaker,
after waiting four months for it, and OF
seeing his resolution promptly voted down by
the House. There WAS little debate. The vote
for the resolution was not larger perhaps than
was to be expected, but it was much larger
than it had any right to be. EigLty-four votes
were cast for the resolution-One of the most ex-
travagant financial propositions ever made
even in the House of Representatives. Of these
votes seventy-eight were cast by Democrats,
six by Republicans. The six Republican votes
must be regretted to be sure but what shall be
said of the seventy-eight Democratic votes 7
They make more than q majority Of the full
Democratic strength.
The serious feature of the Manning
dispute at Washington is not the attempt OF Il
political lobbyist to cOerce member OF the
House by means of anonymous and threatening
letters-though that is serious enougll-but the
fact that this fellow, working by disreputable
means to the worst ends, should be shown by
hs own words and acts to be simply the instru
ment of the most conspicuous Democratic can
didatc for the Presidency. In other Words Mr.
Finley, who has been known about Washington
for four years as an agent of Mr.. Tildcn, writes
to Mr. Springer virtually ordering him to COM
NIT the iniquty of unseating Mr.. Wasllbun and
seating DOnnelly, and doing so practically in
the name of Mr.. Tilden. 1t is true that Mr..
Tilden's name is not used. Foolish as the letter
was for an expert in the dirty ways of politics,
Mr.. Finley was not 80 foolish as that. But he
tells Mr.. Springer that "Our friends i'll New
York" and again, those who are perhaps
personally most to be affected" by the decision,
are especially anxious that it shall be made.
No one can read the letter without feeling that
the writer is expressing the wishes of Samuel j.
Tilden and doing it by his authority, though
not probably i'll way that he would have ap
proved It is possible, of course, that Finley
claimed more authority than he had just as it
is possible that Mr.. Tildcns entcrprsiDg
nephew may have cOncOctcd all the intricate
legal plots of the Cipher conspiracy. No doubt
Mr.. Tilden'S friends will say so. But a wicked
world will persist in believing that he has been

Four men performed the unprecedented feat
yesterday of breaking into Jail. They were
four of the Pennsylvania bribers, whom the
prison-keepers at Harrisburg found standing
upon the steps of the jail and asking the privi-

followed was merely technical, however, new

When Finley, who openly claims to he Mr.
Tilden's agent, writes to Mr.. Springer that
sthose who are perhaps personally most to be
Saffected" by the ousting of Washburn and
seating of Donnelly are anxious to have it done
at once, it is proof strong as Holy Writ that the
object of that performance is just what the Re-
publcars have charged from the first, viz, the
control of the House Of Representatives in I'M
election of President by States.
The failure of producers and vendors of milk

terday is not altogether pleasant fact for con-
sumers to contemplate. for they will hardly
gain anything by the low price which it is at
tempted to force upon the farmers. Consumers
want milk at reasonable price, but they have
no interest in depressing the rate paid to pro-
ducers if this only increases the margin of profit
for somebody. What is first wanted is pure
milk, and in the long run this desideratum can
only be secured when living price Is paid to
the farmer.

On. YosT's DEATH.-We find in thesteu-
benville Herald the following extract from
private letter written by one friend OF
DR.. Geo. Yost to another:
PORTLAND, May 7.-Dr. Yogt left home
Tuesday with his wife for Wheeling, and
came home that evening intoxicated. The
next day he went to Wheeling by himself
BY the P. w. & KY, and did not return
home. About midnight he went up to
Huseman's livery stable and hired rig,
and told the driver 10 take him home.
While the driver was getting ready he left,
saying he would go up town and return
soon, and asked for fifty cents, which was
given him. They waited at the stable,
but no return, 80 they drove to all the ga
looms open but found him not. He had
gone down to the O. w. Bachelor. In
going he met Capt. Wintringer, and told
him he was going with him up home. The
Captain said all right, to so up stairs and
wait. He went up to the cabin deck
where he took q seat and fell asleep. The
captain came up after while and found
him sleeping, went below 10 superintend
the loading and about o'clock, as near as
the time can be arrived at, a splash was
heard and the watchman exclaimed, "a
man overboard!" In falling, his head
struck the gunwale projecting on the
wbariboat which, it is thought killed him.
A boat was brought into the space between
the wharfboat and the Bachelor. The
body foated on with the current,
and they reached him, and, as they
say, caught his short hair, but he
slipped away and passed under the wheel
OF The Diurnal. His reappearance was
watched for with anxiety, but in vain. He
sank forever. His father and uncle, and
George McCleGry went down as soon as
possible. The river was thoroughly
dragged way down two bars to no purpose,
aud when dusk came search was put of.
Mrs. Yost, his mother, is takingit dread
fully, seeing no hope here or in that
which is to come. The news came like
an electric shock, and the affair hangs
over all like pail"

The DiUESAL AND PHAEToS.-We pub
lished some daysag the remarks OF Capt.
VIM. Dillon, OF the little dyer Phaeton, in
regard to her abilities as to speed. and
further that Captain Booth, OF the Diurnsl,
could beat him 'spouting" but not run
ming. This ELECTED prompt response
from Captain Booth, who said he could
back his opinion OF the Diurnals speed
by 1000 II Captain Dillon thought he
was spouling, and II he DILLON didn't
take this offer "to shut up" We met the
clerk Of the Phaeton yesterday and in the
course Of conversation on the differ.
ence Of opinion as to the speed OF the
two boats aud also as to the 81 900 which
Captain Booth offered to put up, the
clerk said: Father laid off one trip to
see about that same $1,000. He went TO
the ISTRLLlGEScER office to see II tho
money had been left there to be covered,
and was informed that no such sum
was on deposit there. He then went to
the boat store and was answered in the
same manner, so he concluded that his
observation to the 1NTRLLIdEScER mau
was correct. That he can beat me blow
ing but not running"
So you see Capt. Booth will have to
come 10 time or shut up" himself. "We
started from Sistersville ON time the other
day, Monday, believe, and made the
round trip in fourteen hours, and in that
time made ility.six landing, and laid at
the Wheeling wharf three hours and
bali. That is rather good, l think"
We suppose that Capt, Booth will, II he
means business, not hesitate to leave the
81 900 where the Capt. Of the Pbaeton can
"see it,.

THE JUBILEE CoScERr.-A Delighted Au-
dicuce al The Operd House Last NiyM.-The
original company Of colored jubilee
singers which started out under very adj
verse circumstances from Nashville in DC.
tober, 1871, but since have been honored
and applauded in all parts Of the world,
gave their first concert at the Opera House
last night to an audience composed OF our
best citizens, who manifested delight in
every lock and gesture. We can scarcely
be expected to describe their singing when,
renowned musical scholars have expressed
inability to do 1t justice, and yet We may
say what the New York Tribune said, that
there never was singing more intensely
dramatic, for there never was singing more
severe. The programme consisted OF some
25 pieces, each one being rendered in q
manner which drew forth the applause Of
the hearers applause not put on, but that
which flowed spontaneously because 1t
could not be kept back. The songs they
sing "grew out OF the woe and misery OF
the tormented soul; they are the passion
flowers Of the blood OF martyrs"
The voices are all exceptionally fine and
we'll trained, and some Of them very re-
markable. Miss Sheppard's management
OF the piano is truly admirable; Mr.. Lou.
din has a deep bass, powerful like the
notes OF tuba, aud yet capable OF the
most delicate expression. All the voices
blend into one tone In such harmony as
We have never before heard. "Home,
Sweet Home" that grand song which has
touched so many hearts, was made Sweet
er" last night by the touching and mag
niticent way in which it was rendered.
The following is the list Of singers: Miss
Ella Sheppard, pianist; Miss Maggie Por-
ter, soprano; Miss Jennie Jackson, so
prano; Miss Patti Malone, soprano; Miss
Mabel Lewis, contralto; Mr.. F. ]. Loudin,
bass; Mr.. R. A. Hall, tenor; Mr.. Geo. E.
Barrett, tenor; Geo. L. White, Director.
The bass solo by Mr.. Loudin, Rocked
In the Cradle Of the Deep" brought out
his wonderful voice 10 fine effect. Miss
Jennie Jackson's "0ld Folks at Home"
was beautiful in enunciation and reused
the audience to rapturous applause, but
perhaps the glee song entitled "The Bells, "
brought out the harmony and magnificent
training OF the company better than any
other piece, Miss Porters voice in the duet,
ave Part not Yet" showed richness
and volume and versatility seldom equaled
and one OF which she may be honestly
proud. Altogether this concert was the
event OF the week, and We are promised
even richer programme tonight
The second and last concert will be given
at the Opera House tonight, and we adj
wise all our readers to secure seats and en-.
Joy that which will be q part Of the poetry
OF their whole life.
