In the investigation of the PORTER W EFT
MORE case it is developed that Admiral
Porter wrote a letter to WetmorO in which
he said that the latter has been appointed
to position under the government with a
salary Of $3.50 day, and told him virtu-
ally that he will have just about nothing
at all to do. Your duty" he said, "will
leave you at liberty to go where you please
except at certain times" Porter was very
anxious that Wctmore should keep the
matter Of the appointment quiet: at
would never do for it to get out.' "Don't
mention it to any one that you have any
appointment under the government" "1f

Distributiye and Rctributive Justice.

Webster quotes Swift as defining
distributive justice, dealing to each his
proper share" When Judge Patterson
fined Ed. Martin ten dollars and allowed
Frank Eshleman and Hay Brown, who
evidently had joined Harvey Raymond in
an attempt to break down the character
and reputation of a fellow member of the
bar, to go scot free, was it g dealing to
each his proper share 20
When Judge Patterson permitted a
layman to stand up in the presence of the
august court and call Ed. Martin a
ID liar, so loud that every member
of the bar in the vicinity of the clerks
desk heard the impudent oath,
was it dealing to each his proper
share 20
There is another term in jurisprudence
called retributive justice,'' which the
same author defines rs involving or per-
tanning to retribution. Will not Mr..
Martin feel that the outrage he suffered
and which Judge Patterson failed
to take cognizance :of, is to be
visited on his judicial head in
the train of circumstances (which
his bungling efforts to support the
dignity of injustice have invoked,
and which have called forth the
denunciation of every fair-minded news
paper in the tland. 1t is after all only
the public's method of correcting the in
competency of faithlcss servant by
"dealing to each his proper SHARE - and
that distributive justice, when applied to
Judge Patterson himself, becomes retri-
butive justice :?

THE IRON TRADE.
Mills Shutting Down.


The Susquehanna rolling mill, at Column
bia, employing about 16O hands, on Sat
urday afternoon, for the first time in eight
years, save for repairs, drew the fires. The
company has given steady employment as
above and always at the highest wages.
1t has gradually increased the pay of its
employees until few weeks past, reach
ing s6.25 per ton, or Philadelphia prices
The reason assigned for shutting down is
that the management cannot produce the
iron, paying at the present rate. at tisu,e
to compete with other points. The com
pany has been in the habit of paying the
men every two weeks. They have notified
the men to call at the Office and receive
their pay in full, and it is understood the
mill will remain closed until the men agree
to a reduction of wages commensurate
with the fall in the price Of iron.
At the Shawnee rolling mill another
kind of complication has arisen. The m;,n-
ayers informed the puddlcrs on Saturday
that they would have to make six heats
per turn day and night. They refuse to
make more than five. Neither employer
nor employees will give way, so the fires
were not lighted last night, and the mill is
not in operation to-day.
The Rohrerstown mill has been standing
idle for week or more, and there is II ru-
NOR of another strike at the Safe lI.rbor
works.

night the dead body of colored man
named James Titus was found lying along
side the track of the Pennsylvania railroad
half mile east ofParkesburg. of The head

issued from its office, No. 913 Walnut

it protests vehemently against Grants re-

poets General Grant of personal participa-

In POttsville an old man named Joseph
Fisher was moving into a house which he
had Just rented, and when the furniture was
carried in, a chaf-bed and a quantity of
bedding were thrown down in such a way
that they presently caught fire from the
kitchen stove-pipe. The fire was extin-
guished with few buckets of water, but
not until the chaff-bed was nearly destroy
ed, and then the assembled neighbors were
astonished to see Fisher grasp frantically
at the remains and tear from one corner a
largo roll Of bank notes. He had recently
sold his house and had about 81, 700 in bills
sewed up in corner of the bed, which
happened to be the only article seriously
damaged by the fire. The money was
charred, though not burned, but the old
mans rough handling caused some of it to
fall to pieces SO that it could not be recog-
nized. He will be able to have all but
about $3.50 dollars Of it redeemed, but has
taken the precaution to put the remainder
in a bank for safe keeping.

HARMONY.
Remarks on the Philadelphia "TiuIess y
Programme.

AEUSE0h"C.
Pittsburgh Post.
The best way to settle the Philadelphia
imbroglio is to admit portions of both del
egations and throw upon them the respon-
sibility of creating local organization
which will unite the party. There will be
no difficulty in agreeing on four delegates
at-large to Cincinnati, and the selection of
a chairman of the state committee need be
no stumbling block. He should be fair
man, having the needed special qualiiica-
tions. and Commanding the confidence of
the party. Common sense suggests the
state chairman should not be one who has
aroused animosities, or if the representa-
tive of individual or factional interests.
So far there is plain sailing, but we most
decidedly object to the proposition that
the delegation at Cincinnati shall be in
structed to vote as unit. We have no
fear such instructions will prevail, but the
attempt should not be made. 1t rcvives
the question of individual domination over
the party, on the Cameron plan, and the
Democracy will not submit to any such
personal rule. The principle is wrong.
The convention, if it chooses, may i'll
struct the delegates-at-large to vote in
given way, but it has no right
to instruct the delegation from the
congressional districts who represent
an entirely different constituency.
We believe the district delegates at Gin
cinnati should vote the sentiment and pre-
ferences of the Democratic people behind
them. We do not desire to constrain the
friends of Senator Bayard or General
Hancock at the East, to vote for Gov. Til
den under the unit rule, and most certainly
shall resist any combination of "the
field'' to compel the Tilden delegates to
abandon their choice, under the Oper-
alton of the same rule. The friends OF
Gov Tilden are reasonably sure to be in a
majority in the state convention and in the
Cincinnati delegation, but we oppose any
thing like subjecting the minority of the
district delegates to the iron rule of the
majority, no matter who it is for. The
suggestion of the unit rule asa condition
precedent to harmony, therefore detracts
materially from the harmonizing PROPOSE
tions of the Philadelphia Times. 1t hints
at something very like a snake in the
grass the dropping of non-essentials to
secure the one thing necessary for Cam
erOn experiment on the Democratic party.
There is no real difficulty in the way OF
harmony at Harrisburg, and united and
vigorous action during the campaign. Let
the theory of individual domination the
..baton of command" idea-be dropped al
once, and with it tie unit rule. Neither
Of them are Democratic, or acceptable tt
self-respecting Democrats. They are es
sentially Cameron notions sought to be in
| grated on the Democratic stock. Victory
would be costly, purchased at such a price
With these disturbing questions out O
sight. there is nothing in the way of a lar
monious and encouraging convention.

DWELLING HOUSE ROBBED,
Thirty Forty Dollars in Bank Notes
Stolen.

Thirty or Forty Dollars in Bank Notes
Stolen.
On Saturday afternoon between and 2
o'clock the house of Mrs. George II.
Heitshu, No. 322 West James street, was
entered by thief and robbed of between
$50 and $40. Mrs. Heitshu had locked
up the house and gone to the Northern
market, and on her return found that
the house had been robbed. The thief
probably entered through the cellar graf
ing, went up the inside stairway to the
second story. Here he went to a bureau
in which Mrs. Heitshu had the money
rolled up in a paper and placed in one of
the drawers, and carried it off without
disturbing anything else. In another
drawer of the bureau were Mrs. Heitshu's
gold watch and other jewelry, but they
were not disturbed. From this circum-
stance it is suspected that the thief knew
where Mrs. Heitshu kept her money, and
havin. secured it looked NJ farther for
other plumber.
