Mr.. HAYES appears determined to
put the patience of the Democratic
members Of the Senate TO the severest
test, having last week nominated to
that body, for Surveyor Of the Port Of
New Orleans, \. c. Wells, who is a son
81 J. Madison Wells, the man to whom
Ar. Hayes IS indebted for his present
occupancy OF the White House. Old
Wells himself is tho present Surveyor,
7ith his sJn for his deputy, and Hayes,
restrained only bv the fear OF public
opinion from re7pPoiuting the father,
does the next best thing he can for him
hyappolnting his hopeful son. OF course
4 {. Wells don't stand the ghost Of q
chance Of being confirmed; and in order
that M HAYES, who has thus deliber-
ately iusuitcd the Senate, may feel the
full force Of the rebuke, the Democrats
should take up the nomination without
moments unnecessary delay ard by
rejecting it say to Mr.. Hayes that it was
not tit to have been made.

IT is related OF James T. Brady, the
celebrated criminal lawyer of New
York, that after the Judge had charged
the jury in a murder trial in which he
was counsel for the defendant, that in
dividual asked him what he thought the
verdict would be, and that Brady, after
a moments reflection, said to him: eff
Providence has left any one thing in
this world more uncertain than another.
it is the verdict of a traverse jury in a
murder case. " The truth of Mr.. Brady's
reply 10 mis- client has inst been well IL
lustrated in the criminal court of Jersey
City. Some time last autumn, Covert
d. Bennett and Mrs. Jennie II. Smith
were tried for the murder OF Mrs.
Smiths husband, and the evidence was
so strong and convincing that the jury
had no difficulty in returning a verdict
of murder in the first degree. 4 new
trial was afterwards granted. and at the
second trial. which ended two weeks
ago before the same judge, the same
lawyers, and the same witnesses for the
commonwealth, the jury promptly re
turned verdict Of acquittal. and This
too, although the counsel for the defend
ants refused to examine a single witness,
but rested the case or the testimony Of
fered by the prosecution. This was GER
tainly most singular conflict between
two juries, and has few, if any, parallels.
The weight of public opinion in the city
where the trial took place seems to be
decidedly Ill favor OF the conclusion ar
rived at by the second jury. Such as
tonishing results are not calculated to
strengthen ene's faith in the ability of
twelve good men and true 10 draw the

TEE Republicans Of Chester county

The moderate and subdued tone Of

WHEN the Republican County Com
m4ses set here on January 26th and
efeeteA tse delegates TO Don Oameron's
Harrisburg Convention, il instructed
them 70 support Daniel ]. Morrella as ore
Of the delegates TO Chicago from this
Congressional district With view to
Mr.. MOrrell's success, Harry Boggs,
who has rough and ready way OF ac-
complishing political results when he
puts on his war paint and seizes his
tomahawk, was recommended "a Sena-
torial delegate. Blair county, however,
had short time before elected A. S.
Stager, claiming the delegate this year
as matter OF right, and the claim ap-
pearing to be well founded, Boggs didn't
get a chance Of playing ''big Injin' as q
delegate, and Stager, who was a Grant
man, was accorded the seat. Without
knowing anything about Mr.. Morrell's
Presidential preferences, we classed him
as Blaine man, and have since learned
that such is the fact. The gay and ees-
tive Boggs, therefore, could not have
been of any service to Mr.. Morrell in the
convention, for that unsurpassed trick
ster and man of all work for the Came
ron clan, John Cessna, was chairman OF
committee OF nine with power to Sc
lect the delegates TO Chicago, and Mr..
Morrell was not the kind OF man to
suit Cessna's owner, Don Cameron
Cessna thought it would be the proper
thing that he himself should go to Chi
cago from this district to do the bidding
OF Cameron, and OF course the thing was
done. When Mr.. Morrell read over the
list Of delegates made up by Cameron,
and adopted by his convention, and
found that it embraced such we'll known
members of the Philadelphia ring as FL
liott, Douglass, Leeds, Lane, Rowan,
and the immortal Adam Albright, he
concluded, We imagine, that in this in

called for ''dree sheers for King Krant, y
had his counterpart at the late Republi-

a machine delegate, in a star spangled

u Blaine man, voted against 1t. We

FREE TRADE IN PAPER.-The way
the "boom" is striking the newspapers
of the country is a subject Of general dis
cussion, particularly by the Western
journals. The recent advance of print
ing paper fifty per cent, as we'll as the
advance in fuel, type, ETC., has not been
followed by q corresponding advance in
subscription OF advertising rates, or by
marked increase in business. OF course
in the end, the added cost Of production
will fall on consumers, but it takes time
to adjust such points, and in the inter
val the newspapers are heavy losers
The demand comes up pretty strong from
the West and South for the repeal of the
duty on printing paper and on the chem
icals entering into its manufacture.
The latter will give the paper manu-
facturers all the protection" they need
and the repeal of the almost prohibitory
duty of twenty per cent. on printing pa
per will introduce the element Of COM
petition in the paper supply, and bring
the combination that has put up prices
to an extrayagant figure 10 terms. -
The duty on paper is so high that it is
prohibitoTy on news paper; il is not
merely protective but absolutely pre-
vents importation and deprives the
treasury OF revenue. It is one Of the
Jobs and robberies Of the people, like the
quinine, salt, steel rail, and other taxes
that are rapidly making the principle OF
protection ndious to the great mass OF
the American people.
Representative Fort, of Illinois. a
leading Republican memberof the House
has introduced bill repeating the duty
on chemicals entering into the maun-
factuTe Of paper. The paper makers
are handicapped by this duty For the
benefit of the few makers of papers and
the manufactures OF chemicals, Congress
maintains q high tariff. which is tax
upon the hundreds of thousands Of pub
lications Of all kinds and upon the read
ing public. 1t is a tax on knowledge
on the spread of information-and it
might almost be said premium on ig,
noTance, for the benefit Of certain inter
ests and certain monOpolies. Pjttsbure

THE REPUBLICAN STATE CoSVEN-

Mr.. Stone, of Crawford, offered an
amendment reafirming the declaration
of the Convention of 1876 against third
term. After debate Mr.. Stone withdrew
his amendment, and Mr.. Strang of Tioga
offered another TO substitute the name
of Blaine for that of Grant. The amend

Thomas Criswell sustained two severe
flesh wounds above the left eve and on

killed and the other so badly hurt that
he was shot. The young folks were in
the height of merriment. on their way
to the Sunday school teachers instit ute,
and heard no alarm whistle given by the
coming train. Whether the engineer
gave the proper signal OF not is unknown.
The people living about there, however,
say they heard no signal. 1t is hardly
possible, however, that some indication
would not be given when both crossing
a prominent country road and nearing a

FOR the first time in fourteen years
the supremacy Of Cameronism in Repub-
lican politics in this State received a
staggering blow at the State Convention
on Wednesday oj last week, which rem
ders its complete downfall only matter
Of time. On test question OF strength
between Grant and Blaine, the former
being the Cameron candidate, the ma
joTity in his favor was only ttcentg out
of 246 votes and this, too. in a conven-
tion in which sat forty-six delegates
from Philadelphia, eighteen from Ale
gheny, and eight from Lancaster max
ing Seventy-two in ail-the votes of
seventy Of whom were thrown into the
Grant scale, but all Of whom, il is now
admitted, would have cast their votes
against Grant and third term Il they
had been elected by county conventions
rejecting the popular will OF the Repub-
lican party, instead of having been the
spawn OF county committees. We have
often wondered in the past why it was
that leading Republicans in all sections
of the State-men of brains and influ-
would tamely submit year after
year to the renoTseless demands Of the
Cameron cabsl, without making one
vigorous and determined effort to assert
their political manhood The appropri-
ate time for the exercise OF their power
in resisting the domineering political
methods of man who thinks he Is ON
nipotent, simply because his name is
Cameron, because he is rich, and, above
all, because he occupies seat in the L.
{. Senate, which vas transmitted to him
by his father, came last week at the
meeting Of the Republican State Con
yention. Cameron, it is true, succeed
ed in carrying his Grant programme,
but the small margin 10y which it was
done shows that the days OF his leader.
