LOCAL INTELLIGENCE,
A Wild York County Farmer.

MIR. John Billet, aged about thirty-one
years, a well-to-do farmer, residing with
his family in SpringSarlen township, near
the Glades, was taken to the York aims
house on Saturday, crazsd by the warm
weather. About 12 o'clock on Friday
night he awoke from his sleep and attack
ed his wife, who called for assistance.
When help came he knocked one of the
men down, crying rs he did so: "There
lies the PRESIDENT" and on knocking him
down second time he exclaimed, "There
lies the devil" Billet then made his es-
cape from the house and in a nude condl-
tiOn ran through the cornfields. A number
of neighbOrs were aroused, who pursued
tho insane man, and when finally overtak.
ing him it required the united strength of
eight men to secure him. The next day
he was taken to the almshOuse, and about
o'clock on Saturday evening he asked
for water. William Stuck, the steward,
accompanied by an attendant, entered the
cell in which Billet was confined, and
gave him a drink of water, which he
quietly took, but as they turned to leave
the cell, Billet struck the attendant. Mr..
Stuck turned his face to sec what was the
difficulty, when he received terrible
blow on the nose, breaking the bridge and
badly bruising the face. Then terrible

The soldier who sought to kill Guiteau
offended against the law quite as much
as did Guiteau himself in seeking to
slay tn, president. No one will main
tain that it was the soldiers duty to
avenge the law which Guiteau had vio-
lated, by taking the punishment of the
criminal into his own hands. It was
only supreme degree of impudence, OF
wrong-headedness amounting to insanity
perhaps, which persuaded this soldier
that it was his function to dis
charge the Office of the court, jury
and executioner, which the law pro.
vides to execute its mandates. 1t is
a sort of impudence or madness, how
ever, which has become dreadfulIy CON-
mon in this country. 1t is the same that
led Guiteau to shoot the president be
claims to have acted under sense of
duty, and it is quite possible that his
perverted judgment persuaded him that
his crime was a virtue. So are the

Troops to Pass Through Lancaster

Troops to Pass Through Lancaster.
Tho marching troops from Governors
Island will start for the scene of the York
town centennial celebration next week.
This is the chief event talked of among
the officers in connection with the celebra-
tion. The plan of marching, as originally
mapped out, was to pursue the same route
to Yorktown as that adopted by General
Washington but this seems to have been
abandoned. The troops will proceed by
easy marches of about fifteen miles day,
passing through Newark and Trenton,
New Jersey, Germantown, PENNSYLVANIA,
and then follow the Lancaster turnpike to
Lancaster, Columbia, Baltimore and Eek
ert's Mills, thence to Yorktown by the
Washington turnpike. Troops marching
from Washington will start at a later day
and be overtaken by troops from New
York and vicinity. The line of march is
mainly selected with a view to it's conven-
fences and facilities for forage, and as the
troops will quarter themselves as they pass
through the country, preparations will be
made to take notice OF their arrival in the
cities on tie line Of march.

In Pennsylvania, we have had our anti
Garfield convention. That the sense OF
the voters of the state is solidly opposed to
the Cameron ring is admitted by his
friends. Unfortunately, the party ma.
chinery is still in their hands in most local
tiles, and nothing is easier than to get to.
gether by this means a convention which
shall seem to represent the party, but
which, in truth, is no more than the mask
through which Mr.. J. Donald Cameron
sees fit to give his commands to the com
mOnwealth. Such convention met at
Harrisburg on Thursday, and put forward
Gen. Baily as Republican nominee fol-
state treasurer in the Cameron interest. 1t
remains to be seen what the people will
make out Of the nomination. No one
who knows the real relations of Mr.. Cam.
erOn to the president, will help by his
vote to elect Mr.. Cameron's creature,
even to this politically unimportant Office.
When Mr.. Garfield came into power, he
set himself to conciliate Mr.. Conkling's
self-esteem, if it could be done without
his becoming an accomplice in the gentle
mans scheme of universal domination.
But with the Tar more corrupt and deDas.
ing rule of the Camerons, Mr.. Garfield
made no terms. NOta nomination he sent
to the Senate was Of their solicitation, al
though they were ready enough to ask. Mr..
j. Donald Cameron resented this treat
ment, as mi sht have been expected. Tic
arrayed himself against the president as
decidedly as did Mr. Conkling, but, as he
is no speech-maker, with less attention
from the public. On some points, he was
the only Republican senator who opposed
Mr.. Garfield's proposals. And now he
orders his henchmen to put in nomination
man whose only known merit is that he
opposed Mr.. Garfield's nomination at Chi.

I" "Speaking alphabetically"

Secretary Andrew NJ. Frantz, of the
Millersville Normal school trustee, had
no occasion to put his initial to his COM
munication in last evenings Ne,o Era,
nor to explain that nobody but him
self was responsible for it. Severely as we
have felt occasion to criticise the faculty
and managers Of that institution for
what we have deemed faults in its man.
agement at times, we would have sus-
pected none other than the secretary of
the board of the authorship of or re-
sponsibility for the communication in
question. We reprint the most strik-
ing portions of it so that our readers may
see what excuse is offered for the act of
the trustees in resolving to exclude two
of the alumni of the institution from its
grounds and from the halls and libraries
OF their literary society. If the trustees
feel that they can afford to rest their case
with this explanation of their conduct:
we are very well satisfied to let the pub
lie judge whether or not their perform
ance is silly" and marked by any ex-
hibition of common sense or common
justice.
But as model of chasteness and clas-
sic English Mr.. FrantZ's essay deserves
embalmment and to be held up to the at
tentiOn of the students of the literary
institution with which he boasts that he
has been ':actively identified for more
than twenty years." Its worst enemies
could not say anything so much to its
detriment.
OF course when Mr.. Frantz says that
this Journal has ever set down aught in
malice against the Millersville school,
or that in ascertaining and publishing
the facts about it, which we have COM
mented upon, we have not sought and
consulted reliable sources Of information
Mr.. FrantZ says what he knows is not
true. Which it is not strange that he
should do, seeing that in all his long
communication he does not venture once
to point out single misstatement about
the school ever published in this journal.
Mr.. Frantz prefers to confine himself
to drawing from his Imagination pic
lures of somebody "spewing out cor
ruption, OF inherent and inseparable
foulness -" speaking alphabetically" "

MIR. WOLFE sends to the Philadel lphia
Press long vindisation of his course in
becoming an independent candidate for
state treasurer. There is nothing in it
that might not have been said in a
few sentences with greater force. Mr..
Wolfe holds that the policy of the anti
Cameron Republican faction is to pre-
vent their enemies from entrenching
themselves in power by securing the con-
troll of the state treasury and the pardon
board, both of which offices he truly
considers to he extremely important
electiOneering influences. The most of
Mr.. WOlfe's associates propose to sit
down under their defeat in the conven.
tion and let the machine be run 10y
their successful opponents. Mr.. Wolfe
cannot thus see his duty; and whether
he is right or wrong he deserves plenty
of sympathy for his pluck. About the
only consideration for his fellow Republi-
cans, in determining whether to resist OF
submit to the Cameron domination. is as
to whether they dislike their party lead
ers enough to be willing to defeat their
party to get rid of them. They can
finish up the Cameron domination very
effectually if they agree with Wolfe that
the Republican party had better be fin
ished up than that its present
bosses should he permitted to con-
tinue in the control. 1t is family
fight and a family question in which
We have no particular interest only
enough in fact to lead us to lazily advise
doubling Republicans to vote for Wolfe
if they can't stomach any CamerOnism
in their Republicanism otherwise to
swallow the regular ticket.
