Arrested for Bigamy.

Some ten years ago John W. Young, son of the Prophet Brigham, married at Philadelphia lady of high social posi- tion under solemn pledge of never practicing polygamy. Nearly three years ago Young violated the promise and married Lucia Cobb, handsome young girl of Salt Lake City, scarcely more than sixteen years old. The first wife immediately separated from him and has since been living alone. It is said that previons to her marriage she secured her dover. Lately Young has been engaged in extensive contracts in Arizona, whence he went to St. Louis and telegraphed Lucia to meet him in Denver on his way home. Lucia ar rived in Denver and soon after Young came. He was immediately arrested by Charles H. Hawley, Deputy United States Marshal, on telegraphic instruc- tions from the United States Marshal at Salt Lake City, where he has been in- dicted for bigamy, it is supposed at the instance of his first wife. Young was brought before the United States Con- missioner and gave bond for $2,00O.

WTLEIsBARRE, August 2o.-The body
OF an old man named John Sheridan.

hogshead of rain water located at the
repair shops OF the Pennsylvania Coal
Company, at Pittsson, where Sheridan
had been employed for a long time
past. lie was about sixty five years old,
and, though IL Is given out to-day that
he committed suicide, suspicious are en-.

the graveyard insurance craze. 1t is
whispered that policies upon his life
amounting 10 upward Of 100000 had
been secured. and since there are dis.
tricts In Luzerne county where absolute
bankruptcy has almost been precipitat-
ed by the demands OF the mutual com.
panies for assessments, and Pittston il
one OF them, il is thought that further
investigation will show that Sheridan
was murdered, and that he did not kill
himself.

Facts of Record.

There has been no party in the
United States since our political his
tory began, says the Washington Post,
that has given 50 many evidences Of
lofty patriotism and sincere devotion
to the public welfare as have been pre-
sented by the Democracy since 1876.
In its peaceful submission to the an
nulment Of its victory in the election
of that year, in its orderly and digni-
fed demeanor throughout four years
of irregularity in the Presidential Of
iice; in It's graceful acceptance Of the
result Of the last campaign, when it
was defeated by an unstinted use of
money; the unanimity and cordiality
of its greeting to the new President :;
in its faithful supper: of his Admins
tration and the encouragement which
it gave him to go forward with the
reforms that he proposed, the Demo
cratic party set an example that will
be remembered to its honor "a long as
the Republic shall endure.
When the Senate met in extra scs-
sion last March and the bitter fight Of
the Republican factions began, the
Democratic party, A. represented by
Its Senators, lowered toa lofty moral
altitude. As compared with the Re
publican party, the bearing Of the
Democracy throughout the contest in
the Senate and the subsequent strug-
gle at Albany, was simply grand.
These weighiy facts ought to be Of
value 10 the Democracy in the cleo
tions Of 1881, and they will be, unless
their influence shall be ncu!ralircd by
inexcusable blundcring.

The Treasury Department.

expresses the opinion that in case of
the death of the President and the
accession of Arthur, changes in the
Cabinet will be made and that Win
dom will be retired in favor of an
eastern man, to conduct the business
of the Treasury. No doubt, Jay
Gould will have the right man for the
right place to suit the New York
sharks. The Tribune interview says it
would be natural for Arthur to APP
point "an eastern man, and in this con
nection the Harrisburg Patriot peril
nently remarks that an talking about
it being natural" aud "proper" to ap.
point can eastern man secretary of
treasury, Mr.. Gould, if he be sincere,
reveals the narrow spirit of cockney.
A western man is rs capable Of under.
standing the business Of the treasury
and the interests of the whole people
in connection with it, rs an eastern
man, if his habitat were Wall street
or the regions of the Barbary Coast
in Philadelphia. He can conduct the
affairs Of the treasury rs well too if
he is not national banker, or never
speculated in the rise and fall of
stocks in his life. To talk about geo.
graphical qualifications in connection
with important public affairs is mere
nonsense. The requisites of ability
and fitness can be found west Of the
Ohio as we'll as east of it.
Two things are betrayed by Jay
Gould in this interview. He does
not like Secretary Window aud he
would like to have a man at the head
of the treasury who would run the de-
partment more in accord with his
own financial views. He has good
reasons for his dislike for the present
secretary of the treasury. Shortly
before taking his present position Mr..
Window strongly expressed his opin.
ion in regard to the dangers Of the
corporation -ystem of which Jay Gould
is the foremost representative. In the
Senate be voted for the Thurman bill
to compel the Pacific railroad monop-
oily to perform its obligations to the
government, and that act was enough
to earn the hostility of Jay Gould.
Quite recently Mr.. Windom's action
in offering to redeem at once without
rebate Of interest the outstanding five
twentics due October lst has no doubt
interfered with the Gould plan for
tightening the money market. An
eastern man. at the head of the
treasury would probably not have
adopted such n course, at least with.
out consulting those who have "expe-
rience in financial matters" The kind
of an eastern man 80 suit Jay Gould
for secretary of the treasury should be
one who would assist him to rig the
money market so as to produce anoth-
er "Black Friday" When engaged
in that memorable BLACK Friday"
conspiracy to lock up the gold of the
treasury and bring discredit upon the
paper currency of the government,
Mr.. Gould explained to President
Grant that the laudable purpose was
"to move the crops" lie would like
to have as secretary of the treasury
now a man who would help him to
"move the crops" whether he comes
from the west or cast. Evidently
William Window is not that kind of
a man."

\ LIVELY scramble is brewing be-

ton for the nomination of candidate

back Senator Davies, Of Bradford, has
had the field all to himself, and his
nomination generally conceded. But
it appears the hopes and expectations

turc. The machine, which for a time
remained dormant. has now been put
in working order, and a Davics wa. a
bolter last winter against Boss suprc-
macy. he is not considered n desirable
candidate. Gen. Bailey, Of Faycttc,
a faithful third.tcrmcr and active
Boss Lieutenant, has therefore been
brought ont, and i. pressed with vicor
te defeat Davies. OF course the ma
chine management will win. 1t al
ways does, if not by direct, by indirect
means, a. in the election of Senator
last winter. No bolter need apply.
Bosses Cameron, Quay and Mogce
will see to that business.

A Contradiction.

One of the silly stories put in cir

was one to the effect that Mr.. James

of McClain's election, Mr.. Beck was
to perform the duties of the Office.
When first uttered, we pronounced
this story n malicious canard, circula.
ted solely for the purpose Of injuring
the successful nominee. Mr.. McClain
has already repudiated the story, and
yesterday we received the following
note from Mr.. Beck, who also gives it
an unequivocal denial
