TnE fARRAGUr STATUE.

The bronze statue of the late Admi-
raj David i. Farragut, was unveiled in
Washington on Monday, with suitable
ceremonies. The President made brief
speech, accepting the statue in the name
of the nation. Addresses were deliver.
ed by ex-postmaster General Maynard
and Hon. Daniel w. Voorhees,. The
statue was erected by order of Congress;
and Mrs Winnie Ream IIoxie is the
sculptor. 1t is colossal in size, and was
cast from the blades of the propeller of
the United States steamship Hartford,
the vessel that bore Admiral Farra-
guts flag in his operations against south
crn ports during the rebellion. 1t rests
upon granite base about eighteen feet
high. The Admiral is represented as
standing upon the deck of vessel with
one foot advanced and resting upon n
coil of rope The right hand grasps u
marine glass, and the pose of the head
and figure indicates that the Admiral is
looking intently for the appearance of
an anticipated enemy. AT each of the
four corners of the base is four-nch
mortar erected on n bronze carriage.
These were also made of metal from the
propeller of the Hartford
The statue and base cost $4,000.
The following document enclosed in a
copper box was imbedded in the ped

Signs Of Republican Dissolution.

The feud between Mr.. Blaine and Mr..
Conkling, which, like the the sword of
Damocles, hangs over the banquet at
which the Republicans have seated them
selves, is but an outward and visible
sign of disorder, disease aud decay, deep
within the intestines of the Republican
body corporate. If it were only wran-
gle between two strong men, it might
be, as for years it has been, held in
abey ance by the twin agencies of polit-
ical interest and mutual friends. For a
long time it was indeed but personal
dispute, and, as such, kept within bounds,
and, though often the occasion of in
convenience, it boded nothing more seri-
GUS than such passages as those which
resulted in the nomination of Hayes at
Cincinnati, and at Chicago in the nomi-
nation of Garfield. The quarrel, how
ever, always pretty one as it stood, has
grown with the growth and strengthened
with the strength of its principals, and
breaking out atresh under new and en-
larged conditions, it assumes an import
ant public character and menaces the
party with an issue, in the settlement of
which conviction and duty lend their
phalanx to the legions of malice.-LOu-

THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT BLOOMsBURG COLUMBIA

The reports of April |, received at the
Department of Agriculture show an in
crease of nearly per cent. in the area
sown in winter wheat. Kansas and
Missouri show the largest increase, Ohio
and Illinois but slight, and New York
and Pennsylvania remain the same as
last year. Indiana, Kentucky, Tennes-
nee and Virginia each report some de
crease. Owing TO the prevalence of
snow the condition of the crops was not
given in large portions of the principal
wheat growing states, but wherever men
toned, il was stated as below the aver
age OF last year. The alternate freezing
and thawing during the month of March
was the most detrimental of any wealth
er during the winter The live stock of
the country, notwithstanding the scarcity
of food produced by the long and severe
winter, has come out in fair health,
though low in flesh. No malignant or
prevailing disease is reported over any
large extent of country Disorders of
lungs and stomachs are often mentioned.
Great losses from cold and exposure are
reported from the plains of the far
West

The Cars Assassin.

Sophy Perovsky, who was hanged in
st. Petersburg for completely in the as
sassination of the late Gar, was young
lady not only of exceedingly good edu-
cation, but also of very good family.
She was a descendant of the famous
Marshal Perovsky, and had a near rela-
tive now aide-de camp to the grand Duke
Alexis. She was good looking and lady
like in appearance. When stopped in
the street by the police officer who ar
rested her, she did not for one moment
lose her presence of mind. She addressed
the officer with much dignity, and at
the same time begged him notto involve
a lady iu any disgraceful scandal on the
street, but to escort her quietly to the
nearest police station. In st. Peters
burg the story goes that en- route to the
police Office she opened negotiations with
her captor, who demanded fifty roubles
for her release. The young lady had,
unfortunately, but thirty in her pocket,
and the myrmidon Of the law would not
trust her for the balance.

BRADY'S DOWNFALL.

II has long been an open secret that
there were scandalous frauds in connec-
ton with what is known as the star mail
routes. A year or more ago it was an
nounced by General Brady, Second AS
sistant Postmaster General, that there
was a deficiency of $2,000000 in this
branch of the service. Investigation
brought to light the fact that in 03 out
of more than 900 star routes, the pay had
been increased from 100000 to S2,S00,-
900. BY this enormous increase, certain
favored parties pocketed vast sums of
money. A subservient Congress actually
granted Brady's insolent demand for
an appropriation to meet this deficiency.
Uunder Hayes administration nothing
was done to check this rascality. An
investigation was undertaken but came
TO naught, and the belief became general
that members of Congress were implicat-
ed with the post-ofiice authorities. When
Mr.. James became Postmaster General
he collected such evidence as led to the
prompt dismissal of Brady. The subject
should not be dropped here. There are
other men of high standing who should
be arraigned for their participation in
this gigantic scheme of plunder, and all
connected Herewith should be tried and
punished. The Washington correspond
ent of the New York Times, the leading
Republican newspaper of the country,
gives the names of many well-known
men who benefited blythe frauds. Among
these are eX-Congressmen 5. b. Elkins,
of New Mexico, and Logan H. Roots, of
Arkansas, ex-Senators Dorsey, of Arkan-
sas, and j. B. Chaffee, Congressman
Paige,of California, Money, of Mississip-
pi and Ellis, of Louisiana and Senator
Maxey, of Texas The fact that so
many prominent politicians were involv-
ed, was the reason doubtless why the
Congressional investigation fell through.
Now that there has been an exposure,
the people will watch with great anxiety
the action of the administration. Pres
ident Garfield can do nothing that would
raise him higher in public esteem, than
10 punish these robbers, and aid in every
way the efforts of Mr., James to cleanse
his department. 1t is Il matter OF doubt
with some, whether Mr.. Garfield is more
than President de jure, but this doubt
would be dispelled to a great extent, if
he were TO show that where public plum
derers are concerned he has no respect
for persons, and no desire to shield often
ders. 1t is high time that rottenness in
public stations should be punished and
If members of Congress are implicated
in frauds they should fare no better than
more vulgar rascals. The people have
grown weary of the peculatiOns Of public
Iftlcials aud disgusted with their immu-
nifty from punishment If Mr. Garfield
desires TO make his administration ole
OF the noblest in the history Of the coun-
try. here is his opportunity. Honesty,
purity and patriotic devotion to the peo
ples interests will far outweigh the ad
,antages TO be gained by the shielding
of corrupt politicians. The sword OF
justice ought not 10 be stayed in this
case.

The Contest Between the President aud the
Stalwarts.

The people will undoubtedly sustain
the President in this contest against the
arrogant dictation of these few men who
are attempting to coerce him, People
have had their attention directed to this
matter more during the present admins
tration than ever before, because com
placent Presidents have quietly submit
ted to this Senatorial dictation, and now
for the first time in years man is found
at the head of affairs who seems resolv-
ed to have his own way. The issue is
fairly joined and the country awaits with
more than ordinary interest the result of
the struggle. The people are satisfied
that unless a decided check is put to this
practice now, it will continue to grow
and may eventually make the President
a mere puppet in the hands of designing
men. The time seems to have come
when it must be authoritatively settled
whether the President has any constitu-
tional rights which Senators are bound
to respect or whether he must obsequious-
ly defer to senatorial dictation.-Lan-
easter Ne,U Era, (Rep.)

There was an exciting passage-at arms
in the House at Harrisburg on Monday,
between Speaker Hewitt aud Hon. Chas.
S. Wolfe, in the course of which the
former spoke of Mr.. Wolfe as ''the die
tator from Union" Mr.. Wolfe fiercely
denounced the Speaker as ian abettor of
ringsters," and declined to withdraw the
expression, as ''his duty to the people of
the Commonwealth wonld not permit
him to change his opinion" ''If this
severed their personal friendship he could
not help it." All of which goes to show
how injudicious it is for statesmen to
formulate their estimates OF one another.

is the Legislatice Record. There are

bates if received within reasonable
time after they took place. The Record
is fortnight behind time and is there
fore of no value whatever. The print

totally unnecessary expense which some
of the reformers ought to cut off.
