THE GRATIFYING news comes
from Washington that the sub-com-
mittee Of the House committee on
elections, to whom was referred the
petition of Mr.. Game for admission
to the Forty-seventh Congress, as
Delegate from Utah, reports in favor
of the petitioner. This is as it
should be. Utah was deprived of
representation in Congress through
no fault of her voters. They had no
warning or intimation that the gen.
tleman elected to the Forty-seventh
Congress would not be permitted to
serve the term, as he had sat in
four Congresses, and was as eligTble
90 the last as the first. Congress
having created new qualifications,
or rather made Observation-Disclosures,
the Territory ought not to be made
to suffer in consequence thereof.
The report in favor of Mr.. Game
will doubtless soon be followed by
his admission. We may accept the
committees action as an indication
that the anti-Utah sentiment is not
as strong in Washington this win
ter SIS it was last.

THE ATTEMPT to enforce the new
Sunday law in New York, has called
from William e. Dody, the mil
lionaire Christian, a letter which
the gentleman should never have
written. The letter is published in
the Sstia, which describes it in its
usual terse and telling way, as "a
speciman of cant, pure and simple,
which cannot be excelled by any
modern literary production which
has ever fallen under our notice.
The tenor of the letter is that Mr..
Dody owned stock in railroads
which did not run trains on Sunday,
and that as soon as they changed
this policy he sold out at a profit
and they went into bankruptcy.
The whole letter is a mixture of
worldly-mindedness and the writer
cannot help showing that behind
the mask which he has put on he is
shrewd and calculating and
would exact the last penny
from an unfortunate debtor. Proba-
bly, one of his most outrageous as
sertiens is that the Norwalk disas-
ter on the New York and New
Haven railroad would not have
happened if the train had been in
charge of 'sfrst-class Christian
engineer" Mr.. Dodge's idea of the
Deity seems to be that of an implac-
able monster, who, in order to pun
ish railroad, allows thirty lives to
be sacrifced-lives, too, of people
who were probably better and more
consistent Christians than whole
generation of Dodges. When will
men begin to understand that we
are not living under the Mosaic
economy; that the eternal reign OF
law will continue in spite of the
ignorance manifested by such men
as Mr.. Dodge, and that utterances
like these which we have quoted
are neither logical nor in accordance
with the teachings of Him who re-
buked the narrow-mindedness OF
the Ph1risee3 IN these words: "Or
those eighteen, upon whom the
tower in Sloan fell and slew them,
think ye that they were sinners
above all men that dwelt in Jerusa-
Temp"

AMERICA HAS another crew in the
Arctic region, for whose safety there
begins to be felt some anxiety
Lieutenant Greeley and twenty-five
men are presumed to be located IN a
double-waIled house at Lady Frank
lin Bay, whittier he was sent elgh
teen months ago to make observa-
tions in accordance with an agree
ment among some Of the leading
nations. His station is the upper
most in the Arctic region. The ar
raneement was that he was to be
visited and revictualed every sum-
mer, and supply ship endeavOred
to reach him last season, but failed
and had to return. Only about one
year in seven can vessels go to Lady
Franklin Bay on account of the ice.
Preparations are being made to use
sledges next summer in case the sea
is frozen. Fortunately for Greeley
he is near a bed of coal, and has suf-
fcient provisions to last, with econ
omy, until next autumn. It looks
as if there would have to be an in
ternational law making it a penal
offense to send anybody into the
polar region.

Now LISTEN for a loud and pro-
longed howl, Senator Saunders, by
request. has introduced bill for the
admission of Utah into the Union.
This is only the annual thing, q
proceeding that has occurred every
wear since 40, but the howl will
have to ascend just as if it were a
new thing, and there was liability
of the immediate erection of the
territory into a state. There is
nobody so verdiant or con6ding as
to believe Utah will be admitted
this winter, and very few who care
much whether she gets in or stays
out. There are plenty, however,
who are willing towager that when
the Territory does go into the
Union it will be because the Union
is at least as anxious to admit her
as she is to be admitted.

THE NEWSPAPERS are teeming
with accounts of the organizations
and ether stories of Major Tom Och
iltree, the well-known Texan, who
was recently elected to Congress as
a republican in democratic dis
trict. Oehiltree has a national rep
ntation as liar, and it is admitted,
if not by him, at least by his frien Is,
that he can tell more and bigger
lies than anybody except a republic
can editor IN campaign time. He is
also a good deal of a wit,as the follow
ing will illustrate, The story has
never been in type, but it is never
theless true, ana ought to go the

presented to Mrs. George Al

the lady, in a tone Of astonishment
remarked: SIS this really the Ma
jor Ochlltree, who, 1 understand, is

Guiteau's Second Bullet.

From Philadelphia Press.l
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The second
bullet fired from Guiteau's pistol at
President Garfield is for sale to the
highest bidder This ball could not be
found after the shooting for several
days, but finally turned up lodged in a
mass of putty in GLACIERS box. After
striking the President on the arm it
glanced aside and passed harmlessly
through the waiting-room, lodging
finally in box carried by a glazier,
who was walking through the main
sitting room He was unaware of this
at the time, and it was only after
several days that he found it. The
glazier, August Plockstress, turned the
ball over to the District Attorney to
be used, if necessary, at the trial. 1t
has now been returned to him with
certificates from Mr.. Corkhill and DR..
Bliss vouching for the identity of the
bullet. He is highly elated at being
its possessor, and expects to make n
small bonanza out Of it by selling it to
some circus man.

THE BATTLEFOR REFORM.
What the Independent Fight i'm
This Sta.e Promises the
Country.

From George William Curtis Address before
the Civil Service Reform Association, at New
port, R. L., August 2, 1882.
This glance at a triumphant year
would be incomplete if | omitted to
mention the reform movement in Penn
sylvania The facts are familiar. Re-
solved to overthrow an ignominious
despotism which has long subugated
one of the great political parties in that
State, large portion of The party has
made Independent nominations. Their
protest is against "bosses" and ma
chimes But knowing that these are
only the result of the evil system
which bases party organization not
upon a common conviction and pur-
pose, but upon patronage and spoils,
they denounce that system as fatal to
popular government and demand the
reform which it is the object of this
league to secure. Rejecting specious
offers of compromise which would have
been surrender, they have appealed to
the manly self-respect of American
citizenship and await the issue. The
serious significance Of this movement
is that it involves q party defeat by
members of the party. That is to say,
in one of the great States, whose vote
may well decide a national ELECTION,
party defeat is preferred by half the
dominant party, or by the balance of
power in that party, to the yoke of the
spoils despOtism which has recently
overpowered it. This fact is of the
highest political Importance When
an issue of general interest divides a
party in one State the result cannot be
confined to that State. 1t is II fire that
will spread over the country The re-
cent significance of the party is disap-
pearing. They now cohere largely by
the mere force OF tradition. But here

DEAR SIR:-With view to secure

ties addressed, and from your cOntinu-
ed silence | assume that none is con-
templated and that the proposition is
not entertained accept it therefore
as your determination to assert your
candidacy regardless of all results
Such a course on your part necessarily
imperls Republican success and can
be justified only by gravest public con
siderations. Doubtless you believe
these to exist and are willing to sub
NIT them to public discussion, Being
myself Republican candidate for TIT
same high Office to which you have
been nominated, and feeling justified
in asserting my candidacy, our appea
must he to the enlightened judgement
of the people. That each may have
the fullest opportunity 10 yindicate hl'
own political action and the Gauss u
represents, beg to propose Joint dis
cussion with you of our political differ
ences, at such places and times, ant
under such regulations, as may b'
agreed upon By the chairmen of the re
spective committees. Awaiting yoq
reply | am Your obedient servant,
