about ten or twenty five cents worth
OF goods and offer ten dollar bill
in payment. When the change
was given, generally five dollar
bill and the balance in silver, they
would slyly pocket the bill and
then remembering that they had
some small change and did not
want so much silver, would shove
it back and ask for the return OF
the ten dollar bill. 1t is an old
dodge, and we learn that they tried
it at a number of places; they
were only successful in one in
stance in getting away with the five
dollars. They were arrested and
taken before the Mayor, but h
thinking he had not sufficient evil
dence on which TO hold them released
them with the admonition to leave
the city at once, of which they imme.
diately availed themselves and de
parted. II is thought they went East

FINE CANE FOR MAJ. J. W. DAM
IEL.-The Daniel Glib Of Baltimore
city heve. presented Major Daniel with
a handsome cane 10 token of their o.
TEEN for that Distinguished gentleman.
The caue ia Of ebony wood, with gold
head wrought in the shape ofan eagles
head. with eyes oil rare diamonds. The
cane bears the inscription presented
to Major John W. Danlel-Champien
of Vireinia's HOnor-by the Daniel
Club Of Baltimore, 1881"
In presenting the cane, Mr.. Willough-
by n. Smith referred 10 Major Daniel
as the representative Of tho party OF
honesty aud integrity III Virginia. Ma
tvs Of Virginia in Maryland had, he
said, recognized the services Of the Ma
lor. aud felt confident that Virginia
although nov stunned, would before
long receive fresh vigor and bring back
hope 10 all al her sons.
Major Daniel, in replying, said that
it had Lonched him deeply to know that
not only vIrslnians in other States but
alec the people of Maryland had taken
an interest in the recent campaign. To
him the testimonial was something
even more worthy than Office, which,
unless 1t was looked upon as something
to do good to the people. was only as
sounding brass and as tinkling Gym
bal. 1t was not by the hand or act Of
the people that Virginia had been de-
graded, but by the corrupt and venal
forces set in motion by the great Ma
tional Government, which, by its acts,
had stnltiaed at its profession of civil
service reform. Again he repeated his
thanks, and begged TO assure the COM
mittee that he would treasure the tes-
timonials az a mark Of perpetual friend
ship. and hand it down "a an heirloom
10 his family.

The Republicans are beginning to
squeal. They claim that it was an
understanding that John +. Lewis
was to be elected as United States
Senator, in consideration for their
services in carrying the Mahonite
ticket, Now that the Republicans
gave the victory to the Mahonises,
they fear, and have good reason to
fear, that Malone is not going to give
them the; United States Senator.
Hence the squeal. They abandoned
Republican principles and, as far as it
was possible, they have proclaimed to
the world that the Republican party
in Virginia is a party utterly without
principle and ready to sell themselves
to the highest bidder, even though
that bidder be deadly enemy, pro-
Tossing principles in direct opposition
to the professed principles of tho Re-
publican party. They claim to be
Republicans, but IN their greed TO,
effice they are willing to abandon the
prin ciples Of the party and put them
selves up for sale to the highest bid
der. They succeeded, and were SOLD,
as they deserved to be.
There are some Republicans in
Virginia who pelong to that party
because they endorse its principles,
who had the backbone to refuse to
bend the knee TO Malone. even
though he removed every crossroads
postmaster in the State. These men
eniov the confidence Of their party in
lrgiuia and out Of il; but uutOr'u-
nately they are few ard stand to-day
as monuments of what was once the
Republican party.
But the squeal is not confined to
Virginia. Northern Republicans after
they, BY their money and the inffu'
euce of the administration, have
placed Virginia under. the Malone
party and fastened the Riddleberser
bill upon us, now want to escape the
consequences of their own act. The
New York Times, one Of the most In
auential Of Ncrthein Republican
papers, says:
The Riddleberger bill is q measure
of Reputation based upon no priDci-
pie Of equity or sound policy"
The time is now past for such LAM
guaee. The Republican party has
fastened that bill upon us, and the
odlum belongs to them. Virginia
opposed it, but republican money,
republican administion and republican
patronage have done the work. The
odium is theirs, and Virginia is not
responsible.

The Hon. John Paul was detained at
home by serious sickness growing out
Of his labors in the campaign. Mr..
Riddleberger was reported unwell' and
consequently unable TO attend. Col
onel Cameron did not come over TO the
conference. !
These gentlemen-at least most OF
those above named-met General
Mobone and the State Committee in
conference at the Wing Office last night,
and it IS given out that 1.-THE debt ques-
ton" was discussed at great length.
The same question was occasionally
referred to duripg the last campaign.
II IS difficult to understand what that
is new or exciting in the subject the
Readjssters can now find to talk about,
and especially since, liz their view, the
people of Virginia have. approved the
Riddleberger bill. Nevertheless, it is
said that they did talk about the debt
but it was more probably the debt they
owe their campalsners for service in
the late canvass, and how to discharge
the same by distribution of the desirable
places.
The senatorship is still by many
thought 10 belong to, or, rather, to be
gong TO, Mr.. Riddleberger but the
activity with which Mr.. J. S. Wise and
Auditor Massey keep up their fight
inclines some to apprehend that the
prize may yet slip from Mr.. Riddleber-
ger after Tie fashion Of the Sergeantcy-
alarms of the Senate. Major Joseph
Walker, of Chesterfield, IS also con-
sldered a candidate for the position.
He is a Republican Readjuster.-The
name of Hon. John F. Lewis also be-
gins to be mentioned quite frequently
and he, like numerous Others, If elected
we uld scarcely be SO ungrateiul to his
party as 10 refuse 10 accept
General Malone was called upon IN
the conference last night for speech,
and made lengthy il not luminous
one, in which he plainly indicated what
he wanted done.

about panic, destruction OF credits

the revulsioH Of 1875, would carry

YORK, PA, Nov. 30.-Thieyes last
night effected an entrance into the store
of william Herbst e Son, at Glen Rock,
oH the Northern Central Railroad,
about Is miles south Of York, and after
drilling the safe blew 1t to pieces while
train was passing, the safe having
been enveloped with heavy blankets in
order to lessen the noise. About $50
in money and papers Of value 10 the
firm, but no use to the thieves. and a
number Of small articles were stolen.
The robbery was evidently made by
the gang WHO successfully worked upon
the safe at Littlestown on Monday
night and have been committing many
similar depredations throughout this
section Of the State lately. They
have always worked successfully. There
is no clue to Their identity.

Shortly after the war with the South
ern States commenced, Congress, con-
trolled by large Republican majority,
solennly declared, THAT the war was
not waged on the part ofthe Govern
ment in any spirit of oppression, nor
for any purpose of conquest or subjuga'
ton, nor any purpose Of overthrowing
or interfering with the rights or estab-
lished institutions OF the United States,
but Only TO defend and MAINTAIN the
supremacy Of the Constitution of the
United States, and to preserve the
Union with al the dignity, equality,
and rights oil the several States unim-
paired, and that 80 soen as those OBJ
lects should be accomplished, the war
on the part Of the Government should
cease" etc.
With this emphatic declaration before
the country the Democrats in the North
ern States went into the war, and I'M
perilled their lives to save the Union.
And upon this ground and with this
understanding the Southern states
surrendered their armies, repealed their
ordinances of secession, and returned
to ibe Union. But the Republican
party refused TO observe and carry out
this pledge of the public faith. And as
soon as they obtained control over the
Southern States they held them as
subjugated States, refused them rep
resentation in Congress. and 1.-THE
dignity, equality, and rights of the
States unimpalred," amended the Con.
stlution Of the United States, abolished
slavery, and conferred the right OF
suffrage upon the negroes. and made
other fundamental changes In the Con-
s,itu,ion Of the United States, and
forced them upon the people Of the
Southern States when deprived of the
power TO act as a free pepole. This
was not all. Finding that they had not
fully subordinated the Southern States
by these most puwarranlable means.
they divided the Southern States into
military districts and established over
them an absolute military despotism.
This was an overthrow of the Constitu-
ton and the Union; and as yet the peo-
pie Of the Southern States have not been
fully restored to the Union as Sta'cs,
and are made the subjects Of foulest
