EX Senator Dorsey has not repeated
his demand for a seperate investiga-
ton, or indeed, any Investigation at
all, for several days. He is having
rather more of it than he expected
Some of the republican papers that
relied on him in the last presidential
canvass are so unkind as to de-
mand his resignation from the
national executive committee.
They accepted his services, and found
him out afterward. The people down
this way found him out several years
ago, about the time he bribed a car
pet bag legislature in Arkansaw, at a
cost of $l25,0O0, to elect him to the
United States senate. Others have
Just discovered him. New converts are
always jealous for awhile. If anybody
in this partof the country ever had
any respect for Dorsey,or looked upon
him as other than shrewd rascal ,capa-
BILE of covering up his tracks as he went
along, they kept their peace. He was
the same Dorsey ten years ago that he
is now, ouly that as his opportunities
widencd he spread out over more
ground, and became more careless or
reckless in his methods. He has left
some of his numerous crooked tracks
around and justice seems
to be close on his heels. Still such
men are artful, slippery and hard to
corner. When the carpet-bag gov
ernments of the south went down he
transferred himself to other fields of
orerations. The democrats were
powerless to punish such men, because
they had the government at their
backs, and all charges made were
treated as evidences of an unfriendly
feeling toward loyal men. But
now that General James has
taken the matter in hand,
there is some prospect Of exposure
and punishment. If the republicans
who are now so active, SO virtuous,
indignant and loud in their denuncia-
tions had aided the democrats who
FIRST investigated and brought to light
the star route rascalities of Brady &
Co. it would have saved the country
something and Hancock would have
been elected president. 1t did not suit
their purposes then, and they only
now make a virtue Of necessity and
proclaim their virtue from the house
tops with vehemence which is suffi-
cient to raise suspicion as to its gen.
nineness. The highly moral indigna-
tion Of some republican papers and
officials and others is something like
unto the policy of the old woman
who had reared a large family
without ever buying a coffee
mill. After borrowing and using
other peoples coffee mills for nearly
forty years, when her children were
all grown and she became prosperous
she bought a bran new one, neatly
yarnished, and marked patent,
"Hsrranted," ETC., and invited heT
friends in to see it. They we're all
delighted as well as amazed at the
exhibition. When they started to 60

to say until then, suddenly

THE LITTA CONCERT.-The attendance at
the truly grand Litta Concert, at Mercur Hall
last evening, was not inspiring to the world
renowned lyric star or the other members Of
that entirely artistic troupe. Yet the creme
de la creme of the musical people Of Towanda
was well represented.
LITTA's first number not only satisfied the
house of her supremacy as vocal artist, but
brought out repeated rounds of rapturous ap-
plause which even her exquisite response to
the encore could scarcely subdue. In method,
deicacy of phrasing, facility and rapidlty of
execution, as we'll as in exquisite triling and
perfect control of vocal power, her equal has
probably never been heard in this part of the
western world.
Miss MCLAIN, the contralto, has noble,
full, rich, sympathetic voice, which not only
satisfies the taste but touches the heart.
Miss BANGS the pianist, has touch full of
expression, yet brilliant, accurate and power
full and her shading is notably fine. Her last
solo was beautiful Interpretation.
The cornet playing of Mr.. SHELTON took
with the house spontaneously. Both his num-
bers were encored as we'll as the Miserere from
Trovatore.
Mr.. CLEVELAND, tenor, has true and
we'll trained voice, which excels in the medi-
um and upper registers. In the duo with
LITTA, from Favorita, he rendered his part
and filled his position with her worthily.
All of the numbers were justly applauded.
and most of them persistently encOred-cer-
tainly somewhat of a presumption from so
small a house upon artists accustomed to ap-
pear before thousands.
