The Examiner, which disgraccs itself
one day with lie and the next with a
failure to correct it, regards it as an act
of "hardihood and indecency" for the
INTELLTGENCER to criticise Arthur's
intimate association with Grant, George
Bliss, Police Commissioner French and
Johnny Davenport, while his host, Sena-
tor Jones, is loudly giving out that the
Garfield cabinet is to get out. As they
are the kind of men that the Examiner
likes to see rewarded, by an administra-
tion of '..Stalwart OF Stalwarts, - coming
into power by the virtue of another
Stalwart's bullet, the Examiners de-
fense of Arthur is as characteristic as
its criticism of the INTELL1GENCER is
painless to those against whom it is
directed.

HAVING published a statement of the
alleged reasons why the board of trustees
of Millersville normal school resolved to
exclude some of its alumni from the
grounds and buildings of their alma
mater, one of the excluded promptly and
in very temperate spirit gives broad
denial to the truth of the allegations
made SO far rs they refer to him. His
denial puts C our reliable informant - TO
his proofs and the board Oh Tie dcfen-
sivc. Their general statement is not
enough, since the accused were given no
opportunity to know the charge, to hear
the evidence or deny the accusations
upon which the radical action of Tie
board was taken. The trustees cannot
but see that their action can be viewed
in only one way by the public, and that
the popular judgment on the Stiffness as
we'll rs the, injustice of their action cali
not be reversed without relearing of 4
case which they have not tried with
even the fairness of lynch law or Patter-
sonian justice.

THE people of Lancaster are glad to
day to welcome at the gates of our city
a famous battery of the regular army
from TT. Hamilton en- route for York,
town, by the way over which Gen. Wash
ingtOn once passed through our county
and city. Capt. Sinclair's command is
on its journey to participate i'll the cen
tennial celebration of that glOriousevent
which marked the close of the Revolu.
tionary struggle and the triumph of the
American arms. AS Washington tar
ried in this city.so this battery will make
it the place of its Sunday rest and camp.
1t is happy coincidence that Lancas-
ter gallant and lamented soldier, Gen.
John L. Reynolds, who sleeps in our
cemetery, was once the commander of
this lattcry. Its presence among us re-
calls not only Revolutionary memories
and the heroes of the. late struggle for
our national existence, but the glories of
CherubuscO where the Ringgold artillery
how Battery Csc nobly redeemed
itself from the disaster of 1'alo Alto.

SATURDAY EVENING, SEPT. "a, 1881.
The Democratic Duty.

We are surprised to see some Repub.
IlcaE newspapers which have by their or.
binary conduct won reputation for
good sense, indulge in the hue and cry
against the suspected purpose of the
Democratic party to organize the Senate
and elect members Of that party to the
presidency and Office of secretary. 1t is no
fault Of the Democracy that they have a
majority in that body, nor any work OF
theirs that thej selection for the chair
will now be next in succession to the
presidency. But while the Republican
factions are taking each other savagely
by the throat over their dead president S
coffin, while their newspapers are calling
upon the people to remember that 'there
are still two parties in this country, that
they will always divide on certain ques-
tiOns, some of the rather soft-headcd
brethren are calling upon the Democrat
ic senators to forego their rights and du-
ties and elect Republican officers of the
Democratic Senate, or first swear in the
three incoming Republican senator's
after Burnside's successor shall have
been elected-and then let them organize
the Senate; although theycannot be sworn
in until an organization is effected, rs
even Clerk Burch is dead and no success
sOr chosen. This demand is absurd but
scarcely less 50 than the appeal to the
Democratic majority to elect Il Republi-
can organization. Why should they !?
and when did the opposition do such =,
thing?
Some of the organs seek TO relieve this
absurd position into which they put their
party by arguing that the Republicans
carried the country and are entitled to
every chance at its control. 1t may he
fifty suggested that Arthur was not
elected president he did not carry the
country for that office and could not
have carried it. His faction was beaten
at Chicago and would have been beaten
at the polls. Logically it is he who ought
to retire. The Democrats do not ask it.
But they propose to stand by their guns,
their rights and their duty to the coun-
try. More than this the Democracy do
not seek, less they will not take.

THE LAND LEAGUE.
An Alliance with the Labor Party
of EngIand-rhe Fight for Home
Rule.

LONDON, September 14.-A preliminary
conference will be held by representatives
of the Labor League who will participate
in the Land League Convention, for the
purpose OF deciding upon the action of the
Labor Leagues at the convention. 1t has
already been decided by the leaders of the
Land League to establish a Labor League
Executive Council, to be affiliated in work
in conjunction with the Land League, but
to be composed exclusively of representa-
tives of bona tide laborers. The objects of
this Executive Council are the extending
OF the franchise to laborers, and the return
OF labor representatives to Parliament.
DUBLIN, September 1.-The Executive
Committee of the Land League will submit
resolutions to The National Convention de-
claring that the cause of the political and
social ills impoverishing the country is the
detestable system Of alien rule, and that the
people can never be prosperous and content
until they enjoy the right of self govern
ment, for which they will never cease to
struggle. The second resolution denounces
the coercion act as having been devised in a
spirit OF malignant hypocrisy and executed
for the qualification OF private vindictive-
ness and for the suppression OF admitted
public rights upon men who have heavy
share in the movement, which led the gov
ernment to initiate the land bill.
Another resolution characterizcs the land
bill as radically insufficient, and says it can
not be accepted as a just, wise or even tenn
porary settlement OF the question. The
Executive Council invites the convention,
therefore, to solemnly pledge itself to de-
termined adherence to the principles of the
Land League until all its aims are fully
ACCOMPLISHED.

the LIverpoOI COTTON CORNER,

LONDON, September 14.-All cotton spin
ners and manufacturers st Preston have
replied to the Secretary Of the Masters As
sociations. The largest employers are will
ling to stop their looms. 1t is thought that
this will not suffice to circumvent the ring,
but that q fortnight's stoppage will
break up the syndicate. There is little
doubt at present that the requisite
majority Of two thirds will be obtained at
Burnley. It is now reported that twenty
eight firms in Blackburn district will stop,
but eight will not. The latter explain their
refusal on the ground that they are not sf-
fected by the corner, as they have stocks Of
cotton on hand.
The news of the decision of the cotton
meeting at Manchester was received at
Blackburn with indifference. The opera
tors favor the proposed stOppage for week
as a means of improving the present I'M
satisfactory trade, but they fear there will
not be unity among the employers, and that
the recommendation to stop for week
will be acted on only by a few.
There is no doubt about the short
time movement being carried out at Burn
lev. Both the masters and operators favor
the movement. 1t is uncertain whether .
stoppage or short time will be adopted il In
case of the Oldham Mills, which have
promised to cease work, stoppage takes
place next week. There are 1000 spindles
In Oldham spinning American cotton, and
If AIS, 900 stop, the promoters Of the move
ment will be satisfied. A number of mills
in the Preston district will close at least for
q week.
The Secretary of the Manchester Cotton
Spipners' Association states that nearly
seven-eighths of the firms using American
cotton have expressed their determination
to stop their looms for week.
