Thieves in the Postal Department.

Nc" loIN AAhlSS, NSi.
Mr.. S. $. Huntly, who has already fig
urcd somewhat prominently, and not
always creditably, US contractor for carry
ing the United States mails i'll the far West,
again finds his way into the newspapers.
This time he has had II quarrel with his
cousin and business partner about the
division of the spOils, and having gone to
law, he seeks to justify his demands upon
the eNchequer OF the firm by 4 statement
OF his expenditures as Il lobbyist in
Washington. Among other things of the
same sort, he alleges that he has from time
to time, in order to have the prices paid for
mail service increased, found i. Necessary
to buy silk dresses, watches, and other pres
cnts for the wives of Eea.is OF departments
aud o: clerks. Still! further, he declares
that he has, ito keep the press quiet, "been
obliged to buy dinners for its representa-
tives in Washington, and that these re-
pasts have cost him sums varying from $40
to $50 apiece. 1t is pity that so shrewd
found better use for his money. The
dresses and watches may possibly not have
been thrown away, but the dinners were
certainly not placed where they would
do the most good Ii is very safe to say
that Mr.. Huntly has never entertained at
dinner or otherwise any of the reputable
newspaper correspondents at Washington.
Those who may have accepted his hOspi-
talitics arc doubtless of class who could
do him and the postal ring neither good nor
harm. He should have been more specific
in his statements. Let him name the
newspaper representatives, heads of de-
partmcnts, clerks and congressman who

TROUBLE Al TIE VARSITY.
n DiSSrace&ul Riot in which Students Il
Policemen E,NE3ye

n DisSracetdll Itiot in which Students and
Policemen Engage.
Last night the sophomore class OF the
university of Pennsylvania had Il crema-
ton of old text books used by them dur
ing the past term. The cremation cxer-
ciscs occurred on the campus on the col
lese grounds, and tho students arrived on
the spot about halE.past . o'clock accom-,
panied by an escort of thirty policemen,
rs it had been hinted during the day that
the medical students would break up
the exercises for an alleged affront
given at their commencement last
summer. When the sophomores to
the number of fifty arrived OH
the ground they found several hundred
medical students gathered, who shouted
and hooted ut the sophomorcs. Several
breaks in the rope which surrounded the
cremationists were made, and then a po-
liceman discharged his pistol. This was
the cause of a general rush and the police
men were nearly OverpOwered. They then
made al arrest and it led to the throwing
ofbricks, rotten eggs and other things, and
several Of the policemen were injured, one
severely, by being struck on the head with
brick. Another claims to have been cut
across the head with a knife by u student.
Ten of the medical students were arrested
and three OF the policemen were sent to
the hospital. The affair caused intense
excitement in West Philadelphia and the
people in the neighborhood were fearful
that the riot would become general and
lead to the destruction of property. At
midnight matters had calmed down.

MANS HUMANITY.
Dying Men Committed to JaiI.

Dying Men Committed to JaiI.
Complaint is made that certain commit
ting magistrates send tO.sjail prisoners who
arc not only seriously i'll and require care
full hospital nursing, but some who are ac-
tuaIly in dying condition. An
old man named Lawrence Dashcr,
20 years Of age, WIS picked up in
4 dying condition. and committed by u
country magistrate rs II yagrlnt. Whom
taken to the jail he was utterly unable to
walk and had TO be carries, to ''Bumners'
Hall - hy the constable vino had him in
charge. AS Soon as Keeper WeiSe ascer-
tanned the old mans condition, he had
him removed from - Bummcrs' Hall to
the prison hospital where he WIS given
medica! attendance ant! made as comfort
able as possible. but he was actually in a
dyin. condition when committed to Jail.
andtleaill soon relieved him from his suffer
ings.
Another case is mentioned in which u
prisoner WIS found i'm AZ inserlsible con
lition in Blminers' Hall, and died soon
after of congestion of the brain-having
fallen OF been struck on the head before
his commitment, and being almost insen-
sible wlle.i committed.
Another case is mentioned in which u
man suilcrin. from dc!irium Occa stoned by
typhoid fever was committed for "disOr-
derly conduct" He was thrown into
"Bummus Hall" and would probably
have died there had not the keeper dis
Covered his condition and had him re-
moved to the prison hospital for treat
ment, where under careful nursing he is
recovering from his illness.
When prisoner is committed for
vagrancy, disor,lerly conduct Or similar
Offences it is no part of the keepers duty
to examine into the condition of their
health It is taken for gran cd that no
magistrate would commit to Jail Il dying
man or one paIpably in need Of medical
attendance; and yet We are assured that
it is no uncnmmon thing for them to do
80. Whenever u prisoner is known to be
sick, he is properly cared for in the prison
hospital. but the cOnveniences there arc
not sufficient to accommodate u great
many patients. When vaSrants or disOr-
derlies become sick the usual course is
that the prison solicitor takes them before
the court Oh writ of habeas corpus with
q view To their discharge from prison, so
that they may ne admitted to the county
hospital. This, of course, cannot be done
with prisoners who have been sentenced
by the court to specified term Of impris-
onment. Our present object is to call at
tcntiOn to the fact that in not u few cases
sick men are arrested and committed to
Jail as disortler!ies or va.rants and thrust
into Bumme S Hall, when Of right they
should be receiving careful nursing and
medical attendance. Let careless maSis-
trates and constables make a note of it.

tion purgcd? The law carried out will do
it, and he is the head of the municipality

be healthful for public virtue.''
Antonio PortuOndo, Of Philadelphia, is
the son Of the late Juan Francisco POrtu-
ondo, citizen of Philadelphia, who in
February, 1870, was seized and illegally
put to death by the Cuban authorities at
Santiago, in Cuba. At the time of his
fathers death the plaintiff was fifteen
years old, and his uncle, Jose N. Portu-
ondO, was appointed his guardian. In
1878. the son, through his guardian sued
the Spanish government before the COM
mission Oh claims 1T Washing ton, to re-
cover damages for the death Of his father,
and on May 81, 1879, the plaintiff was
awarded s6O, 1000, which the. Spanish gov
ernment subsequently paid to tho state
department mt Washington. He paid his
lawyers $1,000 of the fund, and now the
ward has restrained the payment of s12,-
900 more out of the fund which he says
his guardian has secretly and fraudulcntly
assigned to John E. Faunce.

AhONt Cigars.

The failure OF the chief liouS' engaged
in the business of making cigars at Key
West, Florida. leads til" New York
TntS to muraliZr OF this fresh iiluStra-
tion of the old fable which relates the
folly of the owner of the gr;,Se that laid

tiOn Of Il folly that i; lein- r~rpetually

Originally. Key West cigars We're made

who were taken over to Florida 10
manufacture 4 Havana cigar and save
the duty Oh the imported article.
The Key West cigar soon GOT u
ready sale for all that could lie made.
Very soon they We're adultcrated which
possibly Was the ultimate design when
their manufacture was commenced.
Our Lancaster county tobacco has for
some time been sent to Florida to he
made into Havana cigars. and if no
worse tobacco had been sent the goose
would still he laying s;lable eggs: for
our tobacco makes Il cigar which most
people cannot distinguish from Havana.
and which, i'll truth, is Il great deal
pleasanter to smoke than poor Havana
tobacco, Of which of late years there has
been great deal, owing 10 a succession
of inferior crops. In fact the low repute
Of the Key West cigar may be owing rs
much to the poor Havana tobacco used
as to the adultcratinn with native tobac-
co.
The Times further complains of the
greedincss of the retail seller, who buys
a cigar for thirty dollars Il thousand to
sell it ut ten cents apiece: and
it considers that this is great
injury TO the manufacturing interest
in limiting the sale of their product.
This seems clear enough. but manufac-
turerS do not see it, and even encourage
retailers to charge eNtravagant profits.
A popular brand OF cigars that is sold 10y

really better, us we have said, than a
poor Havana cigar, though ii is wholly
made of Lancaster county tobacco. The
cigars chiefly made here are sold ut from
ST. to SIG thousand, and retail away
from home at five cents. These are Ger
tainly extravagant profits.

Evening Bulletin, Rep.

Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, Rep
The NOrristown hospital commission
wound up its inglorious career, yesterday,
as far as it's voluntary action is concerned,
by final meeting, when it presented itself
with its carefully figured report, demon
strated to itself the perfection of all its
work, highly applauded the manner
in which it had been done, avoided
all awkward explanations about the vast
amount of work which it undertook
and has not touched, and the mysterious
completion of hospital which it so
ably argued to the last Legislature could
not possibly be finished without $4,000
which the Legislature very properly did
not give it. By adding on beds enough to
its architectural capacity, it figures it's per
capita down to s734. 80, the true figure &C
cording to tho plans for the unfinished
structure being nearly s7s2. And it says
nothing at all about the sc ttling walls, the
cracking ceilings, the gaping doors, the
shrinking wainscotings, the opening
floors, the leaking sills and the various
other evidences Of its cheap and costly
work. But all these things and good
many others of equal interest may possibly
come mp later in the season.
