Yesterday as Mary Reilly and another
young woman were walking along the
New Holland turnpike, between the city
limits and Mr.. b. J. McGrann's residence,
Arthur Henry, who was riding in a buggy
behind them, ran his horse against Miss
Reilly, knocked her down. cutting her
head, bruising her limbs and otherwise
injuring her. She was taken to her home
at Mr. McGrann's, and that gentleman, in
behalf Of Miss Reilly, preferred charge
Of assault and battery against Henry. The
accused declares the affair was purely ac-
cidental, and was caused by Miss Reilly
stopping in front of his horse in her en-
deavor to get out Of the way. The young
women, on the other hand, say they were
walking on foot-path between the pike
and summer road, and that the accused
could have avoided them by keeping On
either of these carriage ways. The case
will be heard before Alderman McCOnOmy
as soon as Miss Reilly is able to appear.

WE cannot agree with the Pittsburgh
Leader that Z" if Attorney General Pal
mer does resign his position rather than
agree to the pardon of Bill Kemble, the
attention of the people will be fastened
upon that man at once. The act will
make Mr.. Palmer one of the most popu-
lar and prominent men in Pennsylvania.
For it will bear on it's face the proofs of
honesty and incorruptibility." Such a
retreat might prove Mr.. Palmer to be
honest, but it would stamp him as a
coward, whose action if less dishonorable
than that of traitor in battle would
hardly be less fatal to the cause ne pro-
fesses to regard. II Mr.. Palmer resigns
to give place to man who will do what
he dares not do, he will deserve universal
eXecratiOn. 1t is his duty to g stick, .
and he will much belle his good reputa.
tion if he shirks a responsibility that
can be fairly met in only one way.

THE House of Representatives has
been for two days engaged in a remark
able contest over the reference to a COM
mittee of bill to take the duty off of
paper and few other articles. The rules
of the House would have taken the bill
to the ways and means committee, which
was hostile to it, and therefore its intro
ducer naturally asked its reference to
another committee, differently inclined !;
and, as no objection was made, he Sc
cured it. The opponents of the bill, when
they discovered that they had lost the
opportunity to smother it in committee,
got excited and pretended to think that
they were excited over what they called
the fraud that had been practiced on the
House. And then the friends of the
measure became enraged and thought
they were mad because they were unjust
ly abused and it did seem little rough
that men who were willing to choke the
free-trade bantling in committee should
assume so righteous an air of indignation
when the poor innocent escaped from
their murderous hands, and just because
it got out while they were mapping. After
two days of disputation the child is sur
rendered to the unkind embrace of
the ways and means committee, the
House evidently being quite willing that
the most expeditions methods of the
baby farmer should be used for the ex-
tinction of the unhappy free-trade bant-
ling.

THE Examiner cannot understand how
the INTELLIGENCE can question the
expediency of Mr.. Tilden's nomination
and yet its senior editor in the state COM
mittee act with Mr.. Tilden's friends in
opposing the motion to make the chair
man of the committee uSurp the
powers of the convention and decide a
matter that belongs exclusively to the
state convention and not to the state
committee. We did not expect the E:r-
anainer to understand it. The fact is
that the INTELL1GENCER has certain
principles which it applies, regardless of
how their application may affect its in
terests or its wishes. Had the friends of
Mr.. Tlden attempted to make the state

Trying tho Dr. Dix Persecution ON Highly
Respectable Lancasterian.
Our readers are familiar by this time
with the story Of the persecution of Rev.
Morgan Dix, d. d., in New York, by
man named Williamson, now under arrest
who kept sending postal cards by the hun
dreds to various tradesmen and other per-
sons with requests for them to call on DR..
Dix and bring their wares for exhibition
and sale. Something of the same kind, OH
small scale and rather clumsily managed,
has been attempted in Lancaster.
On Wednesday evening seven postal
cards were dropped in the Lancaster post
office, all purporting to have been written
by George Spurrier, the clOthier on East
King street. One was addressed to Judge
Livingston and another to Judge Patter-
son inviting them to call ut MIR. Spurrier's
store last evening at 6 p. m. another was
to George Hartman, liveryman, directing
him to send 4 two seated carriage there at
the same hour; one to Fred. Brimmer
and another to Geo. W. Zecher, each order
ING two cabs to be at Mr.. Spurrier's at the
same time; ham was ordered from
Chas. Knapp, grocer, and six bottles of
rye whisky from Jere Rohrer, to be de-
livered with the bill at 6 p. IN.
They were all written in the same hand,
manifestly disguised and were dropped
into the Office about 10 p. IL. At II,
when Mr.. Marshall was asserting the
night mail, one of tho cards was turned
and as it showed the signiture, George
Spurrier" he saw at a glance that it was
not Mr. SIS handwriting and his susp-
cions were aroused, strengthened by the
discovery of tho whole batch. EIo took
them to Mr.. Spurrier early the next MORN
ing, who was greatly astonished and in
dignantly repudiated all knowledge of the
base trick and it's consummatiOn was
nipped in the bud.
1t is supposed last evening was selected
for the special annoyance of Mr.. Spurricr,
as from p. m. it was known that he
would be engaged in an interesting Odd
Fellows election.s The man who wrote
the postals is suspected and as he knew
nothing of the discovery of his little game
he hung around the street corners at p.
m, anxiously looking for developments at
Mr.. Spurrier's store. But they did not de-
velOp.

Not His Mouth Piece.

The Patriot denies that it speaks es-
pecially for Senator Wallace, which we
>are sorry to hear, as it prevents us from
accepting the Patriots assurances in the
Kerns matter. It says it 6 is certain
that no senator will say that the confirm
alton was made out of courtesy to Sena-
tor Wallace - and that it was made
d" because certain Democratic senators
from other states, out Of courtesy to
Don Cameron, had resolved to vote for
the confirmation in spite of Wallace's
protest." 1t adds that s. it is just posi-
BILE that when the Senator discovered
that his protest was in vain, that he de-
clined to make fool of himself by re-
sisting the inevitable - If the Patriot
disclaims authority to speak for Senator
Wallace, it is evidently proitless to in
vite it to say just how far he declined to
"make fool of himself - by resisting
Kerns's confirmation. 1t seems to us
that it would he in order for Senator
| Wallace to speak. Possibly his fellow
Senators will permit him to have the
proceedings in secret session in the
Kerns matter, and the vote, made
public. 1t would be satisfaction to the
Senator's friends to know that he did not
make a fool of himself by voting for
| Kerns.
Or by voting against Clark. The Pa
triot says that he is certainly responsible
for the rejection of Clark, believing that
the "party would be benefited by giving
the appointment to the disaffected re-
gion of Luzerne and Lackawanna." AS
the Patriot does not ''speak especially .
for Senator Wallace, we may be permit
ted to doubt that he would be so foolish
as to secure the rejection of so good a
Democrat for so trivial a reason? Espec'
tally in view of the fact that the appoint
ing power is a Republican president
who could hardly be asked, in decency tt
locate his appointments SO that they
would do the most good to the Demo
cratic party. That would be the g cheek
lest " request ever made. Theoretical.
the president appoints and the Senate
confirms officers on account of their fit
ness and it is the very latest invention
in the way of an idea to ask Republl
can president to nominate a Democratic
supervisor, not because of his fitness, bu
to benefit the Democratic party. Patent

THE Patriot informs us that there are
already nearly 100 contests booked for
the state convention and if it keeps on a
majority of the seats may be disputed.
We understand that the Patriot also holds
that the state committee has right to
determine in advance all of these contests
and decide who shall participate in the
temporary organization and mayhap de-
eide their own cases. The Patriot may
lead on to that chaos, but no reputable
Democrat will follow it.
THE very sensible suggestion made by
the Cambria Freeman, an anti Randall,
anti Tilden paper, if adopted, will end the
whole discussion about Senator Wallace's S
attitude toward the Kerns confirmation.
Mr.. Wallace can rise in his place in the
Senate, and ask for the publication of the
vote on the Kerns's confirmation. If it ap-
pears therefrom that he voted, as he
wrote, against Kerns, that will settle it if
he voted for Kerns that also will settle it.
Let us, by all means, have the record, and
see what senators, as the Patriot says,
voted for Kerns tout of courtesy to Don
Cameron.
The Clearfield Republican charges and
the Patriot echoes it, that in regard to
Marshal Kerns's confirmation for long
time Speaker Randall was on both sides of
this question-privately." Ii this is true,
it is serious matter. Marshal Kerns was
reappointed on Jan. Z, 1880. Twelve
days afterward Mr.. Randall sent the fol-
lowing letter to the judiciary committee,
House OF REPRESENTATIVES,, WASH
1NGToN, D. c., January 10, 1SSO-Dear

Mr.. Herr, the teacher, be read, Omitting
tho names of the offending boys, as had
been requested by Mr.. SIaymaker. The
motion was agreed to. and the report was
read.
DR.. Levergood then took the floor
and spoke at length. He gave
substantially the same account of
the disturbances in the school and the
meeting therein of the members Of the
experimenting and visiting committees, as
had been given by Mr.. Slaymaker, but
denied that he had agreed that none of the
boys should be reinstated until the matter
had been submitted to the board. The
rules of the board give the visiting COM
mittees authority to settle all difficulties in
their respective divisions, if they can do
SO, and if they cannot, then they are to re-
port the matter to the board. Under this
rule, DR.. Levergood said, he had acted.
The father Of one of the boys had called
upon him and asked him to restore his boy
to school, the boy had promised to apollo
gize to his teacher for his past misbe-
havior and to be respectful and obe-
dent hereafter. On this assurance
he was reinstated; he had gone
to the school, publicly confessed his fault
and promised good behavior. This was
all that was required of him, and yet Mr..
Slaymaker had gone to the school the
afternoon of the same day and again dis
missed him. DIR. Levergood regarded
Mr.. Slaymaker's action as a clear usurpa-
tion of the prerogatives of the visiting
committee, and, so regarding it, he had
again reinstated the boy, and Mr.. Slay-
maker had again suspended him. The
whole question here is, shall the visiting
committee have power to restore suspend
