LOYAL MUsIo.-The Lancaster Nelc
Era, one of the Radical organs of that
excessively Radical county, in allud.
ing to what is just now transpiring at
Washington, plays this kind OF a tune
awe would be the last to do President
Arthur injustice. The Neo Era was
among the first to ask for him a gen
erous judgment and fair trial. But
if, as now seems painfully apparent,
his policy is to be shaped by the de.
coptive counscls Of Conkling, Platt,
Cameron and others, who conspired to
embarrass the Garfield administration,
the sooner the people know It the bet.
ter for the future of the Republican
party and the welfare Of tho nation.
President Arthur has it in his power,
by promptly foreshadowing the char
acter of his Cabinet and tho policy Of
the administration, TO resolve all doubts
as to the result of the election IN Penn.

HUNGRY OFncEsEEKERs.--The OK.
ira session of the United States Senate
has drawn to the Federal Capital focks
of political bnzzards of the "moral
idea" persuasion with the hope Of OBJ.
tanning an office. The Washington
Star, of Wednesday last, says "rhe
hotel lobblcs are beginning to fill up
with hungry patriots who want place.
The majority of the applicants, strange
as it may seem, are from Ohio, with
Kentucky a good second These gen.
tlemen might as well go home, as the
President has quite evidently deter.
mined that he will not make any ap-
pointments until Congress meets, ex.
cept to fill absolute vacancies" The
most of Arthur's appointments will be
from New York.

WELL STATED, The Buffalo On. "
Cowier,in abiding tothe Radicalsin the
election OF President pro tenn. Of the
United States Senate, says while
we do not blame the Republicans for
electing President OF the Senate, we
cannot too strongly express our con-
tempt for the hypocritical excuse that
it was done to protect the life of Pres.
ident Arthur. II the scoundrel who
murdered President Garfield did so in
order to make Mr. Arthur President,
the danger that another scoundrel or
lunatic may contemplate such a crime
against the present Executive has not
been obviated by seating Mr. Davis IN
the chair of the Senate. We do not
yet regard murder as permanent
factor in the affairs OF tho Nation.
Moreover, no party in control of the
Senate will ever consent to waive its
right of electing the presiding officer,
and the Republicans certainly would
be tho last to do so. The only
effective method to protect the present
Chief Magistrate and his successors
against murderous assaults of disap.
pointed fllce.seekers is by genuine
and lasting reform of the civil service.
Should the party that now controls
both legislation and administration un.
dertake such reform it would receive
cordial and earnest Democratic sup
mort

Nor MUoH That WAY.-An ex.
change remarks "The Stalwarts were
never noted for sentiment, and it is not
surprising that they are already grum-
bling at President Arthur's studied
efforts to complete such work as Mr..
Garfield lett half done. 1t is sentiment,
however, that the President has so far
bcep very prudent in observing. lie
is wise in not deliberately undoing
things that Mr., Garfield had begun.
There will be time enough for him to
set the sails of the ship of state for a
different course when he is fairly out
of the waters in which Mr.. Garfield
left the vessel. Sentiment should not
be dofed too Aagrantly.'

"THE FATHER OF WATERS" RAGING.
The Mississippi river at Burlington,
Iowa, on Tuesday of last week, at
which time it was still rising, was two
inches above the high water mark Of
juno, 1880. The Illinois bottom op-
posite Burlington was inundated for a
distance OF five or six miles. Little
damage has been done in Burlington,
but portions Of jackson and Huron
townships, in the northern part OF the
county, have suffered greatly.
A dispatch from Quincy, Illinois,
dated October Both, says "Tho river
at this point tonight is nineteen feet
above low water mark, having risen
slowly all day. All railroad traffic
south and west from here remains sus.
pended except on the Hannibal and
st. Joe which is still running. All the
inhabitants of tho Sny valley have
moved out TO high grounds, many of
them taking refuge in this city. The
water is steadily spreading over the
thousands of acres of fertile farms pro.
tected by the embankment and the
loss to farmers will be very heavy"

IT LOOKS So.-An exchange remarks:
Indications increase that Mr.. Arthur is
going to try and make the next Presi.
dent. We can't tell yet who his can.
didate will be-although the signs SO
far observable seem to point to Grant
but we are beginning to find out
what candidate this administration will
be against. Blaine is one, as a matter
of course, and therumor that Edmunds
is talked of for the Supreme bench
shows that Arthur both opposes and
fears him. If John Logan is really
nursing aprivato boom of his own land
he has check enough for anything) he
will go into the black list too, for all
his stal wartism.

ANDERSON BADLY BEATEN.-A dis.
patch from Eureka, New, says that
James E. Andersen, who made a
national reputation in Louisiana during
the political troubles Of 1876, and who
had lately been editing the Leader
there, was assaulted Sunday night by
W. T. +. Penrose and beaten over the
head with q revolver. The wounds
may prove fatal. Hayes should give
Anderson some attention, because no
man in New Orleans did more to count
him in as President than Jim Ander.
son. He should pay his doctor bill,
anyhow.

Tn THE poIsr.-Tho St. Louis Re.

To THE PoINT.-Tho st. Louis ne
publican states the facts in n nutshell,
in this way "The disclosures that
show Putney to be mere soape-goat
in the Treasury investigation are quite
IN keeping with the inside history Of
every ring inquiry ever prosecuted by
the Republican party. The big rascals
are oil let Of, while some petty subor.
dinate is set up TO receive the maledic.
tions of the country. Pitney is only
going through the same experience
that Avery passed through, and it has
been the same with long series of
investigations into which the Republi.
can party has been forced by stress OF
circumstances which il could not resist,
They are always fruitless so far us the
great rascals are concerned. Witness
the outcome in the Investigations OF
Black Friday, Credit Mobilier, District,
whisky, star route and treasury rings.
Three times the disclosures carried the
inquiry to the White House, and the
whole machinery of the party was en-
ployed to stop the dangerous inquest
Is it reasonable, with this damning
record of impotence, to expect that the
Republican party viii ever be able to
do anything in the way of reform ? F."

TIE TREAsURY.-T This important
Department of the Federal Govern
ment for the past three weeks has
been run without head and in kind
of "ireo and easy" manner. As soon
as President Garfield was dead the
Secretary, Mr.. Window, struck for the
woods of Minnesota to have himself
elected United States Senator and sue
ceeded. In the meantime President
Arthur appointed Hon. L. d. Morgan,
of New York, to fill the vacancy, The
Senate confirmed the appointment at
once. Then, after all this ceremony,
Mr.. Morgan has declined the appoint
ment. Judge Folger, of New York,
was rendered the place, and has &C.
cepted it.

The BUCKEYES. cotemporary, in
alluding to those people on our west
ern border, says; ain few briei
months the people Of Ohio will be
bowling wildly for now census.
Within that time the four quarters of
the world win pour back upon that
State a perfect flood of its precious
children who have been engaged in
the pleasant task Of running the Gov.
ernment machine during the past four
years. Ohio very nearly managed to
fill the whole civil service and the con.
sequence was a serious curtailment OF
its population. Arthur is going to re-
store these wanderers to their native
heath, and whom they get home Ohio
will begin to understand how unfair is
the record of the census tables, which
make no account of those Buckeyes
absent in June, $780,"

"DIcKERINd" STATEsMEN-lfit it shall
turn out that Judge Folger is pur-
chased Cabineteer, the price of whose
induction into the Treasury is a rever.
sionary seat on the bench of the Su.
preme Court, the transaction sinks to
dicker. 1t is neither dignifed nor
decent, We put no faith in the cur
rent rumors about the subject. The
gossips at Washington are nothing If
not malicious. Judge Hall, now on
the Bench from New York, has been
an invalid for over two years, and is
likely to resign just as soon as Presi
dent Arthur gets his Cabinet job fin.
ished. After that, Folger goes on the
Supreme Bench and ConkliDg will
either himself, or by deputy, run the
Treasury Department on the unadnl-
terated Stalwart plan.

As UsUAL.-Somebody who was at
the Yorktown Centennial says that Han.
cock and Bayard were tho favoritcs
with the great assemblage at York.
town on Wednesday. The former
passing from the pavilion to the canopy
of the Presidcnt'in the open space sur.
rounding tho cornerstone was in.
stantly recognized, and for ten minutes
there was mingling of the stentorian
lungs OF the North and the "rebel yell"
of the South. Tho General, leading
his little grandson, blushed like girl,
took off his hat and passed on with
bowed head.

A RADICALS LAMENT.-The editor
of the Philadelphia Telegraph is about
as Radical as man can be, yet he seems
to be respondent over the future. In a
recent issue Of his journal he gave a
long article on current political events.
We clip the following paragraph
at was but the other day that James A. Gar
field died, and just as the friends Of freedom de-.
SPARED Of the success ofJobnBrowns principles Of
freedom 10 ls59so now do the friends ofthoseprin-
oipes Of free government which Garfield etpoused
despair Of their success. Because he il dead and
because bis successor proved by tho nomination
Of Morgan, Of New York, to the Cabinet. II by
other things be bad not proved it before, that he
had determined to deny the principles Of Garfield,
Il Is imagined that those principles are dead also,
and that all be cOntendod for and all that he
achieved Is dead with him that be fought and
suffered and died in vain, and that the worst
elements Of our political system have gained
new and stronger tenure Of life from his death
Well, Il President Arthur aud that jobbing Stall
wart host by whom he is surrounded and with
whom II is his will to be surrounded, were Fate,
II might be so, but they are not, and the soul Of
Garfield Dust as surely as did the soul of John
BROWN will go marching on until the fight he
began against all those forms Of political c1rrup.
tOn which are embodied 10 stalWartsm have
been fought out to a rational and ft conclusion" +"
The editor is lover Of John Brown
and Garfield, and despises Stalwartism.
1t is well enough that bis head is Lowell
occasionally.

the way for Democrats TO help him.
This is evident when we consider that
ia the first place Mr.. Wolfe does not
expect nor desire TO be elected Treas
urer. He simply wishes to secure the
defeat of Baily, and desires tho aid Of
his friends to this end In the second
place, the Republican majority in the
State is not so large, nor the Inde'
pendent vote so small, but that the
vote cast for Wolfe will destroy the
Republican majority, and Noble will
be elected IL all the Democrats vote
for him. Forty thousand Republican
votes cast for Wolfe will elect Noble,
But ii sixty thousand votes, onc-third
of them being from Democrats, are
given to Wolfe, Baily will be elected,
and the purpose OF Wolfe and the dc.
