The Grand Jury of Albany, N.
Y, has found an indictment against
State Senator Sessions. Sessions
has been a very active friend of
Depew's in, the fight for the I. S.
Senate. A few weeks ago Repre-.
sentative Bradley charged Sessions
with paying him $4,000 to change
his vote from Conkling to Depew.
The Legislature appointed an in
vestigating committee. Sessions
swore the charge was not true
but the facts looked very suspicious.
The Grand Jury Of the County has
taken the matter up, and will put
the Senator on trial.

At meeting of the Republican
tate Committee of Virginia yester-
ay there seems to have been about
n equal division Of members upon y
h. r",cy of uniting with the MahoDe 8

cans, black or white, only so far as
they can be made useful to him. So
far the President has made no definite
sign.
Considerable interest was felt here
last night on the subject of the iD
dictnent of Senator Sessions at Alba

payment of money by Sessions to
Bradley after Sessions had given his

| ling than in anysliug else I ever un'
dertook: yet I did not pay money te
defeat him. 1t is a misfortune the
administration will never recover from
the fact that its active supporters in
New York are of this class, and that
if its efforts to rid the party of "boss'
Conkliug shall succeed, the party il
the State will thereafter be gov erned
by the most corrupt men iu our poll
tics.
I talked yesterday with Maine
Democrat who is here upon business
with the Departments. He says the
Republicans in the Pine Tree State
will not hold their own this Fall in
more thau three Counties, if any. One
of the reasons he gives for this is the
genera! disgust felt by decent people
over the New York squabble. Gene,
rally, Republicans there stand by the
administration, because it is under
stood that the fight is Blaine's fight.
and Blaine has heavy. hand on the
party organization there. But in
every village, he says, are more or less
Republicans whose sympathics are the
other way. He gives the State to the
opposition hereafter ifjudicious uomi-
nations arc made. Another reason is
the increasing lack of cordiality be-
tween Senators Frye and Hale.
The administration, too, is removing
Grant men from office in the West
and South, aud widening a breach
which WAS threatening enough at
first. DEM.

renaiings that will be erected in
that County. They will be framed
houses, forty feet by twenty, plas
tered on the inside, and having the
plastering to the height of seven
feet prepared for blackboards. The
cost of each school house will be
about $3.50
In Union County the expense
will be met by public funds.
Whether the school houses are
built By public or private funds
the expense is so trifing that it
@should.not be in the way. Before
the days Of free schools people bad
to build their own school houses
and had to pay for the tuition Of
their children all the year round.
Now when the State pays the tul-
ton, OF a large portion of it. the
people ought certainly to be able
to build decent school houses.
The better plan, and the only one
that will secure uniformity, is to
have certain amount of public
money appropriated for building a
sufficient number Of school houses.
The tax would be so small that no.
body could feel it and no one
should object even to tax that
would be felt for so worthy a pur
pose. Let us do away with the
pig styes, hen coops and barns in
which our children are being edu,
Gated, and provide buildings more
suitable for the children Of civilized
and intelligent people.

q WEEK or two after the New York
election, III November, we published a
statement made by Johu Kelly at a meet
ing of the Tammany Hall Association,
in which he challenged any man in New
York, OF elsewhere, To make good the
Oft-repeated charge against him, that he
had ever made a coalition with the Re-
publican leaders of that city to defeat
certain portions of the Democratic tic
ket. On last Saturday night a large
number of the members of Tammany
who have recently rebelled against the
"bossism" Of Mr.. Kelly, held meeting
to perfect new organization. An adj
dress to the Democracy OF the city was
adopted reviewing his political career
ing the nine years he has had con-
troll of the organization, in which the
following passage occurs in relation to
Mr.. Kelly's public denial, above refer
red to:
within the past three months, with brag-
CART turbulence, when 90. -.
~
deliberately traded off ten thousand Demo
cratic votes against the State candidates Of
his party, he (Kelly) vehemently denies the
charge and defies any one to prove it and
vet he knew that at that moment he las gaZ-
ing upon more than dozen of his ieuten-
ants into whose hands be himself had per
sonaly delivered packages of Republican
State tickets with instructions to secretly
work them out of the Tammany boxes on
the then approaching election day-instruc-
tions so disloyal that in many instances they
were disTegarded"
This charge is specific enough, and all
that is now wanted to fasten it on Kelly,
or to relieve him from it, is the sworn
statements of more than dozen of his
lieutenants, - into whose hands he is
charged with having personally deliv-
cred packages of Republican State tic
kets, with instructions to secretly work
them out of the Tammany boxes" on
election day. These ''lieutenantsr are
of course known to the men who issued
the address, and it would be mighty in

PRESIDENT ARTHUR on Friday las
nominated to the Senate Benjamin H.
Brewster, of Philadelphia, as Mac
Veagh's successor in the Office of At.
torEey General. Although not a great
lawyer in the full meaning of the word,
/ Brewster will fill the Office creditably,
and certainly much more so than most
of his predecessors since the ineumbency
! of Mr.. Evarts during the last eight
months of Andrew Johnson's admins
! tration. The first time the writer ever
saw Brewster was in 1874, in Reading,
at the house Of Henry A. Muhlenberg,
who was then the Democratic candidate
for Governor, and whose sudden death
took place only week after. Brew
ster was then Democrat, or he would
not have been visiting the tavorite son
Of cold Berks." He was always close
friend of Simon Cameron and left the
Democratic party about the same time
Cameron did :; but whether, like him.
he disgraced himself by taking the oath
of Know-Nothing, we are not prepsr-
ed to say. Like Cameron, he was a
Grant man and in favor of a .hird term.
which, probably more than anything
else induced Mr.. Arthur to select him
for the place he has assigned him. One
by one, slowly, but none the less certain
ly, the members of the Garfield Cabinet
are disappearing and their places filed
by friends of the man whose administra-
tion was the most corrupt in the history
OF the country. Folger is Secretary of
the Treasury, Frelinghuysen has sue
ceeded Blaine, Brewster takes Mac
Veagh's place, and in few DAYS some
other Grant man will step into the shoes
OF James, the Postmaster General. The
time for each of the remaining members
of the Cabinet, with the exception per
haps of Lincoln, to fold his tent and
like the Arab silently steal away. will
come around when it suits Mr.. Arthur,s
methods or purposes to say so. The
Democracy are not at all interested in
the make up of the cabinet. but can
view with calm Indifference whatever
Mr.. Arthur. with the advice of Grant
Conkling Il Co., may see proper to do.
BY the time. however. that he is thro'
with the work there will go up from the
camp of the men who nominated Gar
field at Chicago such howl of indipna-
tion and protest as was never before
heard in the land.
z. S.-Since the above was written
the President has nominated Timothy /.
y. Howe, ex-United States Senator .
from Wisconsin, to be Postmaster Cen /
eral. Howe wrote and published long /
and strong magazine article in'favor of /.
GRANTS denomination a short time be-
fore the meeting of the Chicago Con- /
vention, and that accounts for the milk
in his cocoanut.

The next Republican State Conven-
tion, to nominate q candidate for Gov
ernOr and three other State officers, will
be purely matter of form and not of
substance. Boss Cameron and two or
three Of his principal henchmen in this
State, held conference in Washington
week before last and decided that the
nomination for Governor should be Civ
en- to Gen. James a. Beaver, of Centre
county. As soon as the news Of the re-
suit Of this conference was flashed over
the wires, both Beaver and Tom Cooper,
of Delaware county, who thinks he ought
to be the candidate, although no other
man Iabors under the same delusion.
started to Washington on a voyage Of
discovery. Cooper says he met Beaver
III the Senate cha'Tr.nluer, and asked him
! if he was a candidate, ard Beaver re-
piled that he was about to ask him the
same question 1t was finally agreed
between these two representative Of the
/ machine, - 50 Cooper says. that Beaver
was to be regarded as the candidate.
Cooper then called on Cameron and the
other Senator from this State, Mitchell.
and also on old Simon Cameron, who
was in the city, and informed them of
what had taken place between him and
Beaver, to which they all cordially as
! sented. This is the way, the simple
/ plan, by which the next Republican
! candidate for Governor has been ground
| out by the Cameron machine, and the
edict has gone fourth that Beaver, one
of it's most ahject slaves, is the man,
and it will be obeyed by every Re publi-
can in the State who hasn't the courage
to think and act for himself. How
handy thing it is for party to have a
boss and what an immense amount
of preliminary work it saves candidates
and their friends in advance of the
meeting of the State Convention ? AS
an offset to this Cameron programme,
7, d. Mckee, chairman of the Commit
tee which conducted the Wolfe cam
paign, has issued call requesting the
Independent Republicans to send dele
gates from each county to a State con-
ference to be held in Philadelphia, jan
uary 18th, TO consider the prOpriety of
nominating a full State ticket, and also
to consider other matters looking to the
overthrow of BOSS rule" Beaver, as
well as Cameron. who has invented him,
will have hard road to travel, unless
enough Democrats come to Beavers aid
and elect him, as they elected Bailey in
November over Noble, and it is by nc
means too violent presumption that
T they won't do so.
