PARTLY So,-An exchange states
this. General Garfield will be the
twentieth President of the United
States. OF these fifteen were elected
bya Majority Of Electors and each had q
majority of the popular vote, one John
Quincy Adams was elected by the
House OF Representatives, three were
Vice Presidents (Tyler, Fillmore and
Johnsen) who succeeded to the Presi
denoy because Of the death of the in
cumbent, and one Hayes crept into
the place by fraud and contempt dc
testation and universal scorn are his
wages. IA decided blunder on the
part Of the editor aforesaid. Hayes
cribbed 100000 of Tilden's salary
and $4,000 year for four years il
the shape Of servants, flowers, anC
other greenhouse fxings. The reader
will readily observe that there is ial
more virtue in this thing than tht
wages of"scorn. ~ EDITOR CLEARFIELI
REpuDLCAN,l Garfield is the only
President who received II majority o.
Electors but had less number of indi
yidual votes than competitor Lin
coin was largely beaten in the popular
vote, counting oil other candidates
against him He, however, had more
votes than any one of them, OF al
the Presidents none retired without
honor but Hayes will form striking
exception to that rule"

His biography of two great men is
short, but 1t teaches wholesome les.

thus:
WAsnISGroN, February -, 81
Senator Matt II Carpenter and ex.
Governor Henry d. Cooke diod about

was when the announcement Of the

Henry d. Cooke was another Of the

He reached Go summit OF fortune IN

staked everything on the maintenance
Of national credit in the darkest days

of demoralization that attended the
reign of Grant A Governors chair
was created for him and he was made
ruler of the District Of Columbia
From that dizzy political height he
fell when the panic swept fortune and

The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Sun last week tele.
graphed to that Journal as follows
IL is now understood that General

Mentor before hr comes 10 Washing
ton at the rnd ot this month, with the
possibility OF some change alter he

eral Garfield lnay relieve himself from
irksome Importantly, The party chiefs
who have not been consulted at all,
and who have had no personal oppor'
tunity OF expressing their opinions as
to tho makeup Of the new administra'
ton, cannot be expected to take his ac'
ton in good part
A more polite President elect would
have seen aud heard everybody enti,
tied to consideration on this subject,
even if his mind had been positively
made up in advance. In shutting the
gates down and in prohibiting Tree CON
ference General Garfield exhibits not
strength but merely weakness Of char
acter. lie lacks the moral courage to
confront the leaders whom he intends
to disappoint. He is afraid to tell
them why he has decided against theiI
preference. This course will sharpen
the edge of resentment, and un'
necessarily make enemies by wound
ing personal pride,
The main elements Of the Cabinet
were chosen long ago, and will not be
changed, rbe subordinate places may
be altered, but not enough to affect the
unity of purpose upon which the new
administration is to proceed. The cen
trail idea upon which Mr.. Blaine, q,
the controlling spirit, starts out is fol
General Garfield to be his own sue
cessor, with Mr.. Blaine as the candi
Tor 1883, when he will be fity-eight
years old,
This interesting programme not only
shuts ont the third.termers for 1884
but it also serves notice upon then
that the policy and the patronage o
the new administration will be direct
ed against the men who were defeated
at Chicago With this the object o
Garfield and Blaine, Of course tn,
Grant leaders could not expect to ge
the Treasury, upon which their fond
est hopes had ccntered. That recog
milton would have placed them on al
equality with their rivals, and Mr.
Blame does not propose to admit thei
equality.
II Mr. tonkling and the interes
P which he represents will bo conten

Lincoln, who presided over third

no figure in politics, they may be graf
fled. But there is no intention t,
strengthen Mr. Conklings hand in any
way nor is there any especial desir
to break with him.
1t is easy to see what the result o
the existing rivalries must be. 1t i
the old story of the White and Re-
Roses of Jefferson and Hamilton o
Clay and Webster; Of the Hunkers an,
Barnburners; OF Douglas and Breckon

between the factions led by Conklinl

DUE NOTICE.

Gen James 4. Garfield has abnnd'
ant warning in Grants experience to
make him wary about his Cabinet Sc.
leclions. Only one OF the original ad.
visers chosen by Grant survived his
two terms, Secretary Of State llanil
ton Fish. A. T. Stewart was disQuali-
fled before lac was assigned to the
Treasury Boric was snknown aud
unfit, and was succeeded by one under
whom rascality flourished aud thieves
waxcd fat. The war Office was disgraccd
by Bclknsp's thievcry and not honorcd
by the subsequent assignment to ii oI
a Cameron, scion OF that one OF the
same name who years before had left
the Office in dshonor Cox quit the
Interior department because he found
| it embarrassing TO resist thieves whose
friends had the Presidents ear and hl;
sympathies and his successor, Delano
was the patron of jobbery, Akermar
was disqualified for the Attorney Gen
eralship, and his successor, George ii
Williams, was exposed to most painful
criticism when his shortcomings were
measured by the severe test of ap
pointment to the Chief Justiceship
Bristow and Jewell were literally
kicked out because they sympathlzeC
with the prosecution of public plunder
ers. Mr. Garfield can hardly do worst
than Grant but he will be lucky if h'
emerges from the multitude Of counsel
lors who beset him without atlordinl
some consolation to the corrupt Gle
ment in his party, which is so inhaen
tial in debating its policy'aud control
ing its officials,

HER TRAGIC FATE.
DEATH OF THE YOUNG HUNTREss OF
WAYNE COUNTY.

DEATH OF THE YOUNG HUNTREss OF
WAYNE COUNTY.
Only few weeks ago the papers
contained an account Of the killing, ro.
Gently, OF two black bears, by Lottie
Merrill, a young huntress eighteen
years old. The following account OF
her death is from the Elmira Gazette /:
A fearful tale Is told in the Port Jervis
Union of the fate of Lottie Merrill, the
young huntress of Wayne county, Pa.
According to this account she met q
most tragic death on the Sth of Feb.
ruary, being attacked in her hut by
six bears, killed and eaten by them,
aad her body burned with the car
casses of some of them in the cabin.
A party of hunters, ii is said, at the
close of that day found her cabin still
burning, and the proofs Of the horrible
death she had died. 1t appears that
she had been hunting that day, and
had killed n fine buck deer, which,
after removing the entrails, she had
dragged home on tho snow. Six hun.
cry bears drawn by the smell of blood,
had followed the trail to her hut, and
after doyouring the carcass of the deer
attacked the huntress, killing her and
devouring her body The girl had
evidently made heroic defense. An
examination showed that she must
have killed two of them before being
overpowered. The carcass of one bear
had fallen against the closed door and
imprisoned them all within the CABIN,
which took fire and burned the Others
to death, In the cabin was found one
Of the hunlrcss' heavy boots with the
foot still in it, a bent hunting knife
near the bones, and the antlers of the
deer she had brought home, which,
with the carcasses Of the bears, fur
nished complete key TO the mystery,
Her funeral took place on Wednesday,
the 9th. At least three hundred peo.
pie were present at the funeral, and
the old preacher, William BudwicS,
preached the sermon, relating the
story Of her death and extolling her
bravery and her virtues to the skies.
The remains were buried near her
burned cabin, and over her grave were
placed pair OF anllers and o homloclS
slab with this rude epitOph
"Lottie Merrill lays here she dident
know what it was to be Altered but
she has had her last tusslo with the
bars and they've scooped her she was
good girl and she is nov in heaven.
1t took six big bars to get away with
her. She was only Is years old"

HOWIT WAS DONE

The Washington correspondent Of
the Philadelphia Record gives bis re.
cension Of the break of the dead lock
and the election of Mitchell. He says
The scheme (which John /. Mitch.
ell was chosen Senator from Pennsyl.
vania was planned in Senator Cam
eron's room at Wormley's Hotel last
Sunday. At that time the senior Sen.
ator was called upon by Colonel Sam.
uel B. Dick, HOntio Gates Fisher and
Russell Errott Colonel Bayno had
been seen on Saturday by Mitchell him
self, and after a long interview, in
which Mitchell showed that ho could
himself be nominated, Payne agreed 10
withdraw if Wolfe and tho men who
had stood by him would consent to
support Mitchell, General Beaver was
given to understand that his case was
hopeless and that il was deemed best
to try the next man on the slate, who
was Mitchell, He was assured that
efforts would be made to have him
named for Secretary of Wan under Gar
field, and he gracefully decided to va.
cate, In the meantime Hugh Young,
of Tioga, had been working on Wolfe,
and led that gentleman to believe that
If he would support Mitchell it would
be victory of some sort for tho in.
dependents.
The new Senator was in his scat in
the House to-day, and he was so little
known that the inquiry went round :
"Where is this man Mitchell who has
been elected Senator from Pennsylva
mia y His presence could be detected
by the steady file Of messenger boys
who carried kilograms to HIM as he sat
in his accustomed place over in the
"old maids corner" on the Republican
side Of the House. About noon he
went into the lobby, where he was
hardly known except for the fact that
party of Ponnsylvanians stood guard
around him. Governor Hoyt came
along while Mitchell was there. The
Governor congratulated the new Sen.
ator, who by this timo had received
notice of his election.
Senator-eleot Mitchell held an in.
formal reception at his residence to.
night, Ten days ago he wendcd his
way homeward unnoticed and almost
alone. But with this sudden stroke of
fortune friends have sprung up by the
score.
Wayne MacVeagh was Wolfe's
choice, after Dayne, but it was found
the Cameron forces would not turn in
Tor him. Mitchell could command these,
and Grows folio owers then went for
Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell has only about
four appointees in the departments
here, and will not prove a very trouble
some companion to Senator Cameron
in demanding a share of the patronage.
