SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 10, 1880.
The Patriots" MisapprehensfoD.

AAO 0uAVCO Ml00RR1 CuC00AVDe
The Harrisburg Patriot altogether
misrepresents the attitude of large
and very respectable portion of the Dem
ocratic press of this state toward Senator
Wallace in relation to the Marshal Kerns
confirmation. From the time of his elec-
until the present We have never hesitated
to ungrudgingly give him due credit
for every position taken by him in the
Senate in accordance with the principles
of Democracy; and in this very matter
of the partisan abuse of the federal elec-
tion law, not even the Patriot outdid the
INTELLIGENCER in awarding to him
great praise for his tireless zeal and una
bated energy in showing up the character
of the men and measures imposed upon
the people by virtue of these laws and
their infamous abuse. 1t was only when
he seemed to turn suddenly about in
his course and to consent to and
advise the confirmation of one
of the worst of these bulldozers,
whose rejection he had originally asked
for, that the INTELL1GENEER called for
an explanation and so did very many
Democratic papers Of the state whom the
Patriot does not venture to classify with
us. That explanation has not been fur
nished, save by some anonymous COM
munications and by the Patriots editor
ials, all of which again prove that "fools
rush in where angels fear to tread" The
Patriots last state is worse than its
first.
1t intimates that there is some cOnnec-
tiOn between these criticisms of Sen
atOr Wallace'S conduct and the next
state convention. We have seen no au-
thority for this statement save in an
anonymous circular mailed from Wash
ington, which claims that C Mr.. Wal
lace's friends will he in a majority in
the next state convention" This is NO
answer to the demand for an explanation
of Kerns's confirmation. It is an un-
seemly boast at an improper time and
concerning it we only repeat what we
we said yesterday: '' The Democratic
party of the state is tired of being claim
ed as the property of any man and of be-
ing called upon, year after year, to settle
the claims of contending leaders seeking
to control it. Senator Wallace as the
leader of the Wallace party has been
persistent in his efforts to control OuI
state conventions. We hope that the
next one will teach him and all other lead.
party of Pennsylvania, which is as much
the property of its humblest as Of its
most exalted member"
When the claim of any other man is
made that majority of his g friends'-
instead of loyal, earnest, unselfsh Dem
ocrats-will control the state convention
we hope to see it as promptly resented.

THE present weather, which does not
seem to please anybody else, is highly
satisfactory to Vennor, the Canadian
weather prophet, who finds that it tallies
with his forecastings. OF course it does
not take the son of a prophet to predict
any and all kinds of weather for
March, but since Mr.. Ven-
nor has hit it SO well thus far it
is of interest and may prove of value to
note that next week his big show storm
is to come, and that April will see others,
and even May will find winter lingering
in the lap Of spring.

The Next Move.

NOTICE Is HEREBY GIVEN THAT AP-
N plicatiOn will be made to the Board of Par
liam IL. kemble, Jesse X. Crawford, William
+. kumberger und Emil j. PetrOf, in the cases
respectively against them in the Court OF Quar-
ter Sessions o. Dauphin county for corrupt So
licitatiOn.
We give the above notice-published in
the advertisement department of the
Dauphin county papers-one gratuitous
insertion, as it is highly important to all
the people of the state that they should
know of the outrage that is to be at
tempted upon them. The four s. rOos-
ters'' who plead guilty of corrupt solici-
tation of legislators at Harrisburg last
Monday, and the one who was convicted
after trial, have had their sentences post
poned, and it is now proposed to hold a
special meeting of the board of pardons,
to be ready to grant free remission as
soon as the penalty of the law shall be
imposed.
Ordinarily the board would not meet
until sometime in April, and if impris-
onment was a part of the sentence it
could not be evaded. Under the opera
tions of the old pardon ring, it has hap
pened that governors pardon has been
ready before sentence, but such a
thing was supposed to be impossible
under the constitutional provisions for
a board of pardons. 1t seems, however,
that money and political deviltry are
equal to all occasions, and an attempt
is to be made that is unparalleled in this
commonwealth. We shall wait to see
the development of it with great solici-
tude and yet with confidence that in the
event of the worst happening the iron
hand of justice will soon atone for the
delay of the leaden heel. For whom the
gods would destroy they first make mad
enough to attempt such deeds as the par
agraph at the top of this article points to-.

NARROW ESCAPE.
AFireman Almost la the Jaws of Death.
Last evening between 5 and 6 o'clock as
4 freight train was running short distance
west of Rohrerstown, the coupling which
connects the engine with the tank broke
and the train parted. The fireman, Fred
erick Brinkman, was at the time in the
act Of throwing coal into the locomotive
furnace, and the more conveniently to do
so was standing with one foot on the plat
form Of the tank and tho other on the en-
sine. When the coupling broke ho
would have fallen Oh the track in front
of the tank and been most certainly killed,
had he not at the instant taken hold of the
IRON chain attached to the furnace door
for the purpose of opening it to put
coal in the furnace. When he felt himself
falling he clung to the chain, and with the
assistance of the ngineer managed to get
upon the engine without ben. seriously
hurt.
The accident detained the freight train
| and the Harrisburg accommodation, which
| was following it, nearly an hour.

Discreditable to all Concerned.
West Chester Jefersonian.
The confirmation ofW. H. Kcrns by the
United States Senate as United States
marshal for the Eastern district of Penn
sylvania has excited much surprise and
condemnation, in view of the facts
elicted by the investigating committee
as to the manner in which he previously
performed his duties. This comm see
of which Senator Wallace was chairman,
had clear proof, not only from others but
from Kerns's own testimony, that he had
made an unworthy and unscrupulous Off
cial. The deputy marshals appointed for
Philadelphia were seven hundred in num-
Der, Notwithstanding that Kerns believed,
as he testified before the committee, that
none was necessary, and many of them
were of the worst class of political black
legs and repeaters, appointed only as a re-
ward for disreputable services. In the face of
such evidence of the mans unfitness, it is
a very stran ,e thing that Kerns could
secure his confirmation. Senator Wallace
has been strongly condemned in refer
ence to the matter, it being urged that he
could readily have prevented the selection
Of SO discreditable an officer, and one, too,
whom his own committee unqualifedly !
if he chose. However this

Oftener. If he had home on wheels he
thinks he could get used to the presiding
eldership about the middle of the next
century.
There was quite an exciting discussion
over the following resolution
Resolued, That we respectfully but most
earnestly request the presiding bishop to
make no transfers to this conference unless
an equal number of men can be transfer
red from this conference.
Many of the brethren argued that there
being many more transfers into the con-
ference than out of it the ministers at the
bottom never got any higher. In the course
Of the discussion DR.. CarrOw created much
excitement by the declaration that rich
churches could always get their men, and
conference with a rush adopted the above
resolution and the following amendment !:
And that the request of any church or
churches of a conference for a continued
supply by transfers is unreasonable and
unmethOdistic, and ought not to be COM
piled with.
A court of inquiry was ordered and ap-
pointed in Rev. w. Majors cese.
The election for delegates to the general
conference resulted in favor of Rev. Fl. w.
Warren, D. D., presiding elder !; VIM. ].
Paxson, presiding elder; VIM. Swindells
and Rev. Jacob Todd, D. D. For the fifth
delegate another ballot will be taken.

THE CAMP.

This camp, the great central point
of the now world renowned Ruby
mining district, is situated in the Elk
Mountains, thirty miles little north
of west from Gunnlson City, ninety
miles from Poncha Springs, (the pres
ent terminus of the Denver and Rio
Grande R. R., and about S KY miles
from Forest City, the prsent objective
point of the Denver and South Park
r. r.
These roads are rapidly pushing
their way into this, the greatest miner
al region of Colorado, and early in
February next we are authoritativeTy as
sured that the Denver and Rio Grande
R. R. will reach Gunnison City;
from which point it will be immedi-
ately pushed to this camp. The sur
vey has been made for this extension
for some months, and the contract
for furnishing the ties already let.
The Denver and South park road
will be rapidly built from Forest City,
and to this camp, which teens with
both high and low grade ores, shall
be given the great boon of quick and
cheap transportation.
Placed thus within easy reach fthe
great reduction works and capitalists
of the outside world, our hardy, en-
ergetic and courageous prospectors
will reap that reward for their labors
which their untiring perseverance so
justly merits.

now existing in Colorado Springs,

Our town is, located in narrow
valley, which in mining phraseology
is termed gulch, the upper or west
ern portion of it being a basin, and
through its entire length, two and a
half miles, there bubbles, foams, leaps
and rushes the purest stream Of crystal
water to be found in Colorado.
On either side of this gulch and
basin, upon which rest their bases,
rise great hills covered with dense for
ests Of spruce and balsam; while at a
distance rise the Scared and scanned
sides Of towering peaks whose rocky
treeless tops pierce the clouds.
A fourth of mile to the north west
and at an elevation of two hundred
feet above and yet within the limits

10, 100 feet above the level of the sea,
lies the clear, placid, and beautiful
