LOCAL INTELLIGENCE,
THE LEAF.
local Tobacco Market.

Nothing new. Nothing doing wo:ti,
mentioning. Most OF the buyers from
other cities have gone home, and Say they
will not return until after tho holidays
and maybe net then. Our local buyers
arc doing but little, anl y majority of
them incline to- . bear the market for
the 1881 crop. The farmers arc stripping
leisurcly, it being pretty well understood
that none, or very little, of the tobacco
already sold will bc received till after the
holidays, and probably not Il great deal
bought. This being the case, it is reason
able to suppose that the cropof 1881 will
be handled more carefully and come to
market i'll better shape than any previous
crop The farmers who have not yet sold
their crops will have ample time and tho
best of reasons for asserting carefully, for
the competition among buyers is not great
and carclessly handled leaf will be apt to
DC left in the lurch. The farmers who
have already sold will also be careful in
asserting and baling their crop; for il
they don't the crafty buyers will give
them world Of trouble when delivering
day comes. Many of the contracts made
early in the season provide that the wrap
pers shall lie Of certain defined lengths
and that there shall be no white vein
among them. A single hand of "white
vein" or of wrappers shorter than the
contract specifies, places the grower, to
some extent, at the mercy of the buyer,
who will demand his pound Of i!csl,-and
don't you forget it.
We hear of only one sale of 1880 tobacco
during the past week. Martin & Fritz, of
Georgetown, Bart township, after dicker
of week or more, have sold a packing Of 4
hundred cases or more to Gonzales, of
Brooklyn, at private terms.
Teller Brothers have received u small
purchase of new loose tobacco, and Frank
Pcntlarge will receive few crops on Sat.
nrday next. Probably 4 few other small
lots have been received and others may be
before tho holidays but there will bc no
general movement of the crop Of tic
county until after that time.
The following sales are reported Levi
Lands of Leacock to Diller & Rutter. 3
acres at 35 cents through Geo. w. Ream
of Leacock to Mr.. Lcderman, a lot at so,
12, and 3.

A Deserving Man.

Mr.. Scoville, counsel for Guiteau, has
b)rne himself So manfully in his present
arduous position, heset with difficulties
on every hand, that he is fully entitled
to the sympathy of the public in his
financial embarrassment resulting from
the long and tedious trial of his brother
in-law. Any lawyer could have under
taken the assassin':; legal defense with
professional propricty, but his friend
lessueSS and MIR. Scoville'S relationship
made il almost incumbent on the latter to
assume p task which 10 other seemed
ready TO take up and in which few have
shown any disposition to assist him. To
conduct the murderer's case capably,
and yet with justice to him, and not 10
offend the popular sense, was an under
most men, OF whatever skill as;tttorncys.
From Mr.. ScovIlle'S lack of reputation
and his own selr-,lepreciation little was
expected in his stupen;lous task. But
tie prisoners offensive conduct and his
untirinG interference with his counsel
have greatly aSgr;.va ted the pcrpleXities
of conducting his defense. Through all
OF this Mr.. Seville has borne
himself well and, of all connected
with the trial. he comes out most credit
ably. 1t is, therefore, with regret the
country will hear that it has been such u
drain upon his slender financial re,
sources as to compel him to trade upon
his notoriety by delivering 4 lecture, on
topics suggested by the trial, to raise
money to pay his own and his wifc'S cx-
pcnscs ut the cheaper lodging house to
which they have been compelled to re-
move. This is better, of course, than
for hin, TO beat the landlord, but it
must be very humiliating for 4 man who
has shown himself to possess such nice
sense of the proprieties us he; and it
would he only the decent thing for PEG
pie who appreciate dccency to quietly
raise and present him with the money
necessary TO pay his expenses at Wash
ingtOn.

made out of consideration for the court
or tho court reporter do not know; nor
do care to inquire.
Howbeit when the court reporter Of the
Examiner was about to take his accus
TONED scat he was publicly asked by Judge
Livingston what paper he reported for.
Tho reporter answered that he was rcspon.

with much asperity, demanded to know
why the reporter dared to publish such al
account as had appeared in that paper OF
the proceedings in tho case Of 81. Il

which the judge denounced as incorrect
and calculated to mislead the public as to
the act of the jury in renderingthcir verdict,
as the report indicated that the highest
estimate made by the witnesses of Mr.. Bit.
ncr's damage was $50 and the verdict was
for s575. The reporter answered that the
accusation made by the court was founded
upon mis- statement, and, upon being chal
lensed by the judge to produce q copy OF
the paper and contradict him with the re-
port, it was produced and it showed, wha,
l have since examined and found to be
correct, viz: That the case was re-
ported with strict accuracy and fair
ness; that in one days issue an
abstract of the testimony for the
plaintiff was fairly given, showing the es-
Inmates Of witnesses higher than the ver-
dict, and that in the subsequent issue the
remainder of the case-the defense and the
vcrdict-was fairly reported and that the
reason it was not all reported at once was
the very sufficient reason that the trial oc
cupied moro than ono session of the court
tho samc reason why the New York

THERE is manifest disposition in
Washington, among cabinet officers and
others who are influential in the matter
of appointments, to treat with disfavor
the employment Of women in the gov
ernment departments. This is not due
to the change of administration, nor to
any sudden policy, but it is the result of
well settled and steadily growing con-
viction, OH the part Of the closest and
most earnest observers Of the tendencies
of Washington life, that the presence of
large number of women, from all parts
of the country, in the departments, many
of them freed from the restraints and
good influences of home life, is
demOralizing to them and to
many of the cOuntry's officials.
The frequent scandals which have
resulted from their presence and
their relations to public men, to whom
many of them are under obligations and
in q position Of dependence, is only a
small part of the general decentralization
with which residents of Washington are
familiar, as the atmosphere there is pol
luted with it. 1t is not denied that the
vast majority of government female
employccsare virtuous, deserving women
and many unduly suffer reprOach from
their position. 70 discharge them
would bc to to work great hardship, but
whether OH the whole great good and
much gain to public morality would not
ensuc from no further employment of
women in the public departments is 4
question that is under serious cOnsidera-
tion by many who are the best friends of
the better sex.

EVENING, DEC. 10. 1881.
Two Goats in the Sheep Fold.


Ia the selection of his executive sep
tette of 'Citizen Republicans" Chairman
Lee, of the Continental hotel conference,
named Mr.. S. w. Pennypacker, of Phil
adelphia, and Mr.. Thomas w. Phillips,
of Newcastle, Lawrence county, pre-
sumably as representative men of the
eastern and western parts Of the state,
for membership Of the committee, these
two constituting twO-sevenths of its
votes and influence. But in the last
canvass Messrs. Pennypacker and Phil
lips were for reform without the party
lines. They went beyond the Organiza-
tion and tried to elect Noble by drawing
as many Republican votes from Baily to
Wolfe rs they could, and in their respect
i've communities their large influence
was manifested by a telling reduction OF
the regular Republican vote. Their
appointment by the "Citizens' organiza.
ton is significant. They have not re-
canted their faith nor confessed any
error in their conduct in the late cam
paisn. Why ther are they recognized
and distinguished 10y an organization
which pretends to condemn their
methods Clearly because the Citi-
zens "know that they must have the aid
of the " independents " to accomplish
anything, and they seek afliliaticn and
court cooperation with an element of
their party which they pretend to con-
denim. They are willing to get the
chestnuts, but they want to take no
risks of the fire. 1t is not likely the ''ln-
dependents'' will allow themselves to be
put i'm this position of hewing the wood
and drawing the water and then not
being allowed Il seat in the house. Under
their present plan of operations the
Citizens - would use the Independ-
ents - for all their purposes, but would
not assent to the candidacy of one of
them nor yield to the "Independent'pr
gramme to accomplish reform outside
The party lines. These elements cannot
be harmoniouSly mixed.
pre-arranged nomination of Bea-
yer for governor is 4 test of the sincerity
and strength of these factions. If each
follows out its announced purpose, the
"Citizens" illopposc his nomination, ,be
beaten, submit and he ground to pow
der in the future party councils. The
g Independents" will make their protest
against the Rings domination at the
polls, and, whether successful or not,
will awaken the admiration and fear of
their foes. In such an issue the indie
pcndents'' have all to gain and the ''Citi-
2cns" all to lose, and the inevitable re-
suit will bc that of the latter the chaft
will be winnOwcd back into the regular
organization, the sound grain will lodge
with the independents" II then remains
only for the wise purpose and practical
action Of the Democracy of the state to
determine whether IN honest attempt
by honest Republicans ut reform in state
politics shall lie Il success and the COM
monwealth's gain, or Il barren ideality.

Tlll; DRAMA.
Miss Lille Hinton rs J..

Miss Lille Hinton rs Leah.
! Miss Lille IiiutOn'S first appearance il,
Ian caster in her professional capacity,
which took place ut Fulton opera house
last evening, was ono calculated to favOra-
! bly, impress All audicnce,,witl her histrio,Iic
| talent. Her impersonation of tho title
| role of D,ly's drama of Leah TIC For
sakcD," cvinccd 4 surprising degree Of
power, joined will, Il keen intelligence and
an a,!aptability to and grasp upon the
, authors conceit. The part is an exceed
| ingly trying one, calling for :hc most ar
! tistic treatment ard delicate execution,
while the element of rugged strength domi
mates the character in {; marked degree.
These traits were cxcmpliied throughout
her rendition, and tho the transition from
that phase of the character wherein she is
represented rs the gentle Jewish maid
ell to the passages in which IN insultcd
wOmanllOOd is reflected was accomplished
with fine effect. There was no question
ing the favorable impression Miss Hinton
produced upon her audience. She was
thrice called before the curtain and an
elegant floral basket sent to tho
stage at tho termination OF the
second act was :, wclI-descrvcd tribute.
Miss Hinton is of youthful appearance,
with Il bright, piquant face that Spalklcs
with intelligence, and whose gentle cx-
preston does not subduc it's dramatic
force. iIcr success in Philadelphia is an
accomplished fact judging from the
capabilities indicated by her last nights
performance tho future is bound to extend
the field of her achievements, and matur-
ing years develop tho talents which may
be said to be yet in tho bud.
The supporting cast was about .hc
average, Mr.. Ciifton's Nathan being i'm
bucd with plenty OF vim and fire, though
his reading of the li2cs was not infrequent-
~ accompanied by a tendency to rant.
Mr.. HorniDg, as Rudolph, was about as
mild-mannercd Il lover, even though he
does prove a rccreant Onc, us body would
care to see, and Mr.. Clifton might trans
fer to him some of the surplus force which
his own acting displays. AS Lorenz Mr..
Clayton was fair, and Miss AcOsta gave
quite pleasing rendition Of tho part Of
.M,de3ena. The other members Of the
company performed their various parts in
satisfactory style.
The announcement made durn. the
evening that Miss Hinton would return OF,
tho evening of December Goth, and im-
personate one of her best comedy parts,
was received with demonstrations of ap-
plausc.
