THE CALIFORNIAN.

The May number of The CoZifor-
MAN opens with a full-page portrait
of the poet LOngfellow which, it is
not too much to say, is the finest
piece of engraving ever done on the
Pacific Coast. The publishers have
not spared time, trouble or money in
making this picture the best that
could be produced. Professor Sill
has in the body of the magazine an
article on the dead poet that is at
once discerning andappreciative. A
prOfuselY illustrated series of
Studies of the California Missions
by Frances T. Victor, is begun in
this number. So much that is ro-
mantle and fascinating in the earlier
history of California is connected
with the Missions, that these articles
will prove of unusual interest. Pic
lures are given of the Missions San
Gabriel, San Luis Obispo, Carmel,
San Diego, San Buenaventura, and
San Juan CapistranO. That OF the
Carmel Mission is a fuI-page sketch

THE TEACHERS lxsTITUTE.-The an

last week brought TO Bcllefontc a large
number of teachers from all pArts Of the
county, together with many others inter-
csted in the cause Of education. The tes.
sions of the Institute were fully attended
and the exercises throughout were Of an
unusually interesting character. The lee
tures, essays, recitAiions and discussions
we're all exceedingly appropriate, enter
tanning and instructive, and the teachers
in attendance undoubtedly received many
useful hints and q great deal Of valuable
information, from which they will not fail
TO profit in their professional work. The
lectures of President Mckee, Of the State
College, and Profs. Sanford and HiIlman,
were of a high order Of ability and were
heard with great pleasure and benefit by
large audiences. The exercises Of each
day were enlivened by excellent music,
and upon the whole Superintendent Wolf

THE Philadelphia Courts and other
officials are making creditable pro-
gress in suppressing the operations of
their thieves and scoundrels. Besides
the trial and conviction of the "roun-
ders" and "ballot.box suffers" who
for many years have hourished through
the instrumantality of machine poll
tics" and made the elections of that
city as well as those Of the Common
wealth a reproach, they are now ex-
posing the official thieves whom parti-
san blindness have installed in places
of trust. The Recorders office, the
Gas Trust, the Tax Office. and indeed
every department having any agency
in receiving and disbursiug the funds
and taxes of the people, show rotten
ness and disregard Of honesty which
shames the Tweed rule so successfully
squelched by Mr.. Tilden and the De.
mocracy of New York, few years ago.
Now the Almshouse is under special
investigation, and the details of evil
dence in this department involving
men who stand in the highest political
and social relations, is sickening in the
extreme. That such scenes of pecula-
ton and cruelty should have SO long
escaped public reprobation is marvellous
and can only be accounted for in the
blind fanaticism in which the MAORI
ty were held by the boss or machine
system of politics adopted to hold
them in subsection to party success,
while the bosses themselves filled their
Golfers with the blood-money Of the
victims of poverty and misfortune.
But we trust that better days are in
store for the people of the city. The
organization of independent voters,
with the stern and heavy blows of the
independent press, amongst whom
stands in defiant grandure, the Phila-
delphia Times, offers hope for the peO.
pie. This paper recently turned its
attention to the "Jury.Fixer" whose
operations in the corruptions Of the
Jury-box have rendered the convic-
ton of rogues a thing of impossible
attainment, are now coming to grief,
mainly through the stimulating inAu-
ence of the large rewards offered some
time ago for their detection and con-
viction. The convictions of several of
these rogues are now announced and the
payment oft the rewards handed over by
the Times Publishing Company TO the
detective who furnished the evidence,
on the certificate Of the District At
torney.

DR.. J. PERDUE GRAY, one of our ma
tive Centre county boys, but for many
years Superintendent Of the Lunatic
Asylum ut Utica, New York, in which
he has acquired merited distinction in
his profession, has been for some days
before the court rs an expert witness
in the trial Of Guiteau for the assassi.
nation of the President. DIR. Gray's
testimony does not sustain the plea of
insanity put in as the defence of the
assassin, but he arrives at the couclu-
sion from personal examination Of the
prisoner, aud the facts developed in
The case, that he was sane when the
act was committed, and is now only
acting the part Of a shrewd william to
escape the consequences of his crime.
He evidently places little faith on Di-
vine inspiration as the controlling
power of the assassin's removal Of the
President in the interest Of the stalwart
division Of the great Republican party

suits flowing from the bloody deed.

A Shrewd Politician.

One by one the leading Stalwart
politicians of the Republican party
come TO front under the auspices of
the Arthur administration. They
draw the highest prizes in the 'lottery
of assassination" and all the depart.
ments of the government are rapidly
coming under their control. The
President is acting the part of a shrewd
political manipulation, and upon this
matter the Lancaster InteHigencer
aptly says ''he is accomplishing all
that his Stalwart friends anticipated,
and as much as the other side appre-
hended, without giving them any
special particular political advantage,
such - they expected would certainly
ensue in case that Garfield cabinet was
displaced. The prime minister, upon
whose performance in Office all the
political hopes of his friends were fixed,
is succeeded by third termer; 50 is
the stiiF.backed Macveagh T; and Conk-
ling's friend is the dispenser Of the
powerful patronage of the treasury
department; James makes room for q
devoted henchman ofihe Grant regime,

William Il. Chandler are talked Of for
other placesin the cabinet The Stall
warts control the House and Senate,
and il is now hinted that the next
stroke will be the elevation Of Folger
to the supreme bench, his succession
by Conkling, the nomination Of Col
lector Robertson for governor Of New
York, the appointment Of Cornell to
Germany, and the placing Of thick
and-thin Conkling man in the custom
house. In the proposed comforting Of
honors and profits upon Chandler and
Robertson, two Of Blaine's next
friends, the Presidents sagacity is just
as evident as in taking Brewster for
attorney general aud Gray for judge.
In the latter cases the fitness of the
appointecs disarmed all criticism upon
their political status, and if he assigns
high places to Chandler and Robertson
it will break the force of n good
many disappointments, possibly win
a section of Blaine's friends to the
support of the administration and Sc
cure for it control of that great politi.
cal lever the New York custom house.
Chandler never was reconciIed to his
slaughter in the Senate, permitted by
the Garfield administration to appease
MacVeagh, and if he now has salve
put on his wounds by a stranger hand
New Hampshire is as likely to be
swung into the Stalwart column as
Ohio will be led there by the speaker
ship. With these allied to New York
Pennsylvania, Illinois, Wisconsin, Vir-
ginia and other States that they can
manipulate. the Stalwarts have grip
for 1884 which their opponents cannot
loose.

THERE seems to have been good
reason for the refusal Of Mr.. John
Sherman and his friends to call also
for the testimony when he demanded
the report of Secretary WINDOWS Com
mission to investigate the disburse-
ments of the contingent fund of that
department under the fraud admins.
tralion. Mr.. Paue Brown, one Of the
witnesses testified under oath as TO
carpenter work done on Sherman's
house and paid for out Of this fund,
and it is understood will report that
testimony before the Committee of the
Senate now investigating the subject.
Referring to this investigation a CORES
pondent Of the Times says "it is stated
that evidence will be offered showing
that magnificent sideboard was con.
structed in the Treasury shops out of
government material and labor and
placed in Sherman's residence. The
pattern for the article Of the furniture
was obtained by Treasury officials con.
nected with the Pitney ring Of a local
furniture dealer, who gave the infor-
nation which led TO the discovery.
Another witness has been subp@naed,
who will, il Is alleged, testify that the
expenses Of serenade to Sherman,
given to him on his election TO the
Senate-amounting TO $3.50, were
charged to the Treasury and paid foro out
of the waste paper fund" All this will
account for the desire of Mr.. Sherman
and his Republican friends in the SEN
ate Committee, that the session shall
be secret.
