A PUBLIC ROBBER.


The Belleionte Democrat hits one Of
the Radical candidates for Senator in
New York in this way:
The young gentleman, who is at
present editing the Philadelphia Press,
formerly conducted a Congling organ
at Albany. The stockholders of the
Press, however, have recently forced
him into the Blaine groove, But his
natural sentiments cropped out on last
Saturday when be discussed, editorially,
the caucus nominations Of the "hall-
breeds" Miller and Lapham. OF Mil.
Ter, this adolescent youth remarks, ale
represents the best type of active poll.
tics" Politics have been very aactive"
in Albany lately, but there are people
who do not like chat kind of activity"
He likewise feels called upon 70 say
that Mr.. Miller is one of "the most
promising men in the State" What does
ho promise2 As far as most people
can see just now he promises" to be a
very ready and "active" advocate of
such legislation in the Senate as will
best conduce TO the interests OF the
"wood.pulp people" These monopo-
lists have few Representatives in the
House, but Mr. Miller, if he ever
reaches the Senate, will be the single
advocate of his own business in that
honorable body. His remarkable bust.
ness career" as young Smith of the
Press puts it, has consisted in simple
robbing. OF course he is not amenabIe
to the laws, but nevertheless the "wood
pulp men" are little less than burglars.

THAT GREAT CRIMEi-IT WAS AN
AWFUL ONE The attempted assassi
nation of President Garfield, on the I'd
instant, has plunged our country into
profound sorrow. 1t was dastardly
crime against the whole American peo.
pie, committed by a vulgar and brutal
seeker after office, and without any
provocation whatever, Although the
would.be assassin declared that he was
a stalwart, and that he committed the
crime IN order 10 mako Arthur Presi.
dent, and to unite tho Republican
party, there is no reason for believing
that there was any conspiracy to take
the life Of the President No political
party or faction had any hand in the
savage act. 1t was the work of a
frantic vagabond. The Presidents
condition, although still critical, is
gradually improving, and the physi.
clans wbo'havo charge Of the case say
that there is fair prospect of his re-
covery. In his terrible affection he
has the sincere sympathy Of the peo.
pie, without respect TO party, and their
earnest prayer is for his speedy rccov.
cry. Vice President Arthur may be
a good Collector of Customs, but he is
not fit for President. Hayes, lately
drawing President Tilden's salary, and
Secretary Sherman, is our authority
for this remark. ]

A CORRUPT PARTY.--An exchange
remarks; In his Friday meeting talk
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher made the
following remark: "Thc Republican
party, which carried the nation thro'
its struggles, is now like the Roman
soldier sitting on the ground throwing
dice to see who should have share of
the Saviour's garments. Liberty was
imperilled for the sake of party plum.
der" This is pretty plain talk from a
high Republican source. The only
wonder with us has been why the
better men of the Republican party
had not the manliness TO speak out
long ago. 1t is only when bitter fac.
tion fights prevail that the truth about
the mal.administration of the party is
permitted TO leak out. During, and
over since the close of the war, for six
teen long years, the Republican party
has been typihod by the Roman soldier
throwing dice, and yet it found no
condemnation within its own ranks.
Credit Mobilier steals, Chorponning
claims, Whisky ring combinations and
Star route jobs were permitted nnd en-.
couraged. 1t is only when some dcs.
perate factional fight ensues, that some
leading Republican turns States evi.
dencc, and then the public are inform.
cd how they have been swindled." We
have little respect for Beechers moral
integrity, but he tells some sublime
truths occasionally about his party
friends. The foregoing illustration,
comparing the Roman garment thieves
with bis party leaders, is a complete
case,

POINTED AND SEvERE.-Tho Phila.

hoover with lobbying on the floor of
the House on the night of the adjourn.
ment of the Legislature against the
Speculative Life Insurance bill Mr.
Mr.. Beltzhoover denied IT, But the
Press returns and dreitorates the charge.
Mr.. Bcltzhoover, after giving the let.
ters Of a number OF members in refu.
tation, closes a communication to the
Press thus:
When you charged me in your paper with lob.
bying against the Insurance bill, aud reiterated
the charge after my denial you lied willfuNly,
maliciously and deliberately. You lied like every

should step down and out Of one Of the most hon.

CURRENT EVENTS.

An esteemed contemporary remarks;
On the 30th Of May last u correspond.
ent of the Philadeladelpha Times, sign
ing himself "An Humble Citizen" thus
wrote to that paper:
"Has modern history many exam
'ples on record of public men who
"have shown such thorough disregard
"lor decency and honor as Vice Presi-
"dcnt Arthur BY virtue of his posi-
"tion he ought to be the Presidents
'right hand man instead of that he is
zone OF his most active enemies. Sup.
"pose the President should meet with
"a violent death, Arthur, being his
successor as well as his bitter oppon.
sent, would it not pat him in bad
"postion, Wig, that Of a suspected Grim
"inal2 In Europe men have often
"been hurried out Of the world, to make
room for political rivals"
In view OF what occurred IN Wash
ington on Saturday, the "a instant, the
above reads like prophecy. 1t was
written on the 3Oth day Of May last, and
was but little noticed at that time I;
since, however it has been widely read
and commented on. The Vice Presi-
dent since the attempted assassination,
has found himself in exactly the "bad
position" apprehended by the cores
pondent, that ofa suspected criminal" :"
Most likely he had nothing whatever
to do with it personally, but the coun-
try has looked at him suspiciously, and
had tho President died the pressure
might have compelled the Vice Presi.
dents resignation.
More Previous to the last election,
Democratic editors and politicians call.
ed the attention of everybody to the
fact that General Arthur, the Radical
nominee for Vice President, was an
unfit person for that Office, and when
some of his friends denied the charge
we called Rutherford d Hayes,
then drawing the salary Of Mr. Tilden,
and one of his Hayes clerks, known
as Secretary Sherman, to the witness
stand and proved the fact but the
Radical voter still went for Arthur.
Now, you have him on hand.

the interests Of tho gentleman from
Delaware, rather than those of the
gentleman from Centre 70 illustrate,
the editor in question remarks: "Sen.
ator Cameron is reported TO have sug.
gested to Riddloberger that the best
thing for the Republicans of the Sen.
ate would be to put forward a distin.
guished Union soldier like General
James A. Beaver for Sergeantat.Arms
of the Senate. That would certainly
be decided improvement on Riddle
berger, 1t is really strange that Sen.
ator Cameron did not think of il before
But so far as General Beaver Is con.
cerned the suggestion is not feasible
General Beaver does not want to be
Sergeant-at-Arms Of the Senate. Be.
sides being much better and much
more proftably employed, his aspirS.
tions for tho next Governorship of
Pennsylvania are not to be diverted in
that way for the benefit OF Senator

PRESIDENT PRo TEMPoRE.--The city
papers says the Clinton Democrat, still
claim that no President pro TEN. was
elected at the extra session of the
United States Senate. As it is a con.
stitutional office there is no probability
that there was such neglect, and our
recollection is clear that Mr.. Harris, of
Tennessee, was unanimously elected.
A Republican Senator arose in his place
and stated that bis side had been in
formed that the Democrats had agreed
upon Mr.. Harris, and if 30 his party
would consent to the election Of Mr..
IL. ADemocratic Senator replied that
such was the fact, wbereupon Mr. Har.
rs was unanimously appointed by res
olution, We hope that some one in
reach Of the Congressional Record will
look the subject up, in order that the
fact in the case may be verified. City
papers, and especially the New York
Sun, have become utterly reckless in
assertion, and nothing they gay cgn ba
relied upon that is not strongly cor.
roboratod by proof or circumstances,
This President pro TEN. business il an
example. Let them produce the re-
cord, for they are in reach Of it.

AN OUTRAGE.-The New York Leg.
islature after an effort of nearly two
months succeeded on Saturday last in
electing one Miller as United States
Senator to succeed Platt. Miller is the
man who succeeded in having o bill
passed through Congress imposing
tariff of 25 per cent. on wood pulp, out
of which one.Aalf of all the printing
paper is made. We have no doubt but
that the 25 per cent. tariff (Which we
all pay on pulp was what brought
about his election. If the Radical party
can carry load Of that kind very far,
we will confess that we are mistaken.
