The PresIdent,s cours. Sustained.


 NEW YORK, May 12.-A paper has been circulated in this city by leading friends of President Garfield and Secretary Blaine call ing for mass meeting in the Academy of Music to protest against the course adopted by Conkling and Platt as representatives of this city and State in endeavoring to discred- 1t the administration and divide the Repub- Hcan party and subject it to boss rule and making patronage the sole aim of their ser- vice in the Senate. This paper, which con- tains strong arraignment of Senator Conk- ling's course in the Senate and approval of the administration of the President in re- forming abuses, etc., has been signed by a large number of foremost Republicans in the city, many of whom contributed very iber- ally to the expenses of the last campaign. It was intended to hold the meeting early this week. but as at that time there seemed to be probability that the nomination of Robert son would be confirmed the matter was de- ferred. It is now proposed to publish call this week unless there is some definite action taken at Washington tomorrow. The gen. tlemen in charge of the paper refuse to make 1t known until the committee have ameeting.

FREAKS OF LIGHTNING.
Stock Killed and People Struck.


DIR. ID. A. Stubs, of Oxford. had before
the Oxford medical society on Wednesday,
June 1st, 1881, a remarkable freak Of
nature in the way of man that had been
struck by lightning, and is still living.
Mr.. Gray, of Lancaster county, was sitting
on his porch about 8 p. m, May 31st,
when bolt of lightning struck tho CHM
ney of tho house, ran down it and out
through stove pipe hole into stove,
sllattering to pieces, then along the floor
passing underneath Gray and between his
legs, and zigzag down his right leg, coiling
around it like snake, burning where it
went, and continuing ON to the little toe
of his foot, where it burst the boot and
entered tho step of the porch, breaking it,
and on into the ground tearing it up. In
its course along tho floor, the lightning
tore up the flooring aud spliters of wood
flew up and struck Mrs. Gray, near by, in
the calf of the leg, making it quite sore.
The lightning, also, struck large tree
in the yard of VIM. Parker, Oxford, on
Tuesday night and broke several panOs of
glass in his home, yet nobody was hurt.
During the same night, tho lightning
struck and killed several valuable cows
belonging to Milton Conard, LondOngrove.
One animal was valued at 800. It also
struck o neighbor's stable and splintered
to pieces several stalls, in which hOrs es
were staading, but did not kill any of
them.

Chestnut street Sewer.
Mr.. j. I. Hartman stated that councils
had authorized the construction of sewer
on West Chestnut, from Prince to Water
street, on condition that the property own
ers contribute part of tho expenses. As

the necessary amount, he moved that the
property committee be authorized to sub
scribe $25, and thus secure the right to
connect the Chestnut street school build

The bill for the relief of Robert w.
Mackey's estate, from losses Occasioned
to the state treasury by his deposit of its
money in rotten banking institutions,
has been very properly defeated in the
Legislature, where it ought never to
have been offered. Mr.. Mackey made
hundreds of thousands of dollars out of
illicit speculation in the funds of the
state; he debauched its legislatorssand
dislonored the commonwealth; if he
was poor after all his ill-gotten gains it
was only because of his unfortunate
speculations in gambling houses. The
state owes him nothing, and he has not
even any immediate family appealing
for sympathy. Perhaps tho bill was in
tended for the benefit of his creditors.
At any rate his friends should he con-
tent to let his name and memory get into
the grateful shades Of oblivion.

The four scenes of which we reprint
brief accounts from the Patriot are only
random sketches of every day perform
ances in a body of two hundred men
picked to make laws for the common
wealth. Their average conduct seems
to he hardly as decent and courteous as
that of well-bred pigs. A pound full of
NANCY, starving, swapping ours could
hardly be more contentious and undignifi-
edthan the bearing these members to each
other. The record of no previous ses-
sion of Legislature has been deliled with
so much blackguard debate as the pres
ent. We have no doubt the great ma
jOrity of the members deplore this sense
less drivel and fsh-wives' style of contro-
versy, but among men who are ranked as
leaders in both the Republican factions
it is painful to see what lack of dig
nifty and high bearing there is. From
the choleric Hewitt and low-tonetl roos-
tiers like Souder, Hazlett, Myers and
their breed nothing better is expected :;
but even Wolfe, Neill and others whose
honest purposes commend them to pub
lie sympathy seem to utterly lose their
balance in the heat of controversy and
disregard all the decencies of parlia-
mentary debate. They either lack the
power ofdignified and effective repartee,
or their associations have made them re-
gardless of the dignity of their position.
1t is time to put stop to it. The lin
gering tradition of legislative good man.
ners ought to assert itself in the voice

punish offenders against the fpropricties.
