PERSONAL.
Rev. Drs. EDWARD EVERETT HALE anG
JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE are to represent
the American Unitarian association at the
annual meeting of the British and Foreign
Unitarian association in London, England
in May.
The fund for the family of Ko-KUN-
HUA, late instructor in Chinese at Har-
ward college, now somewhat exceeds
s., 900, and this is believed to be sufficient
to support them in China until the sons
are able to maintain them selves and theil
mother and sisters.
Two honored professors of Yale, one OF
whom is long of speech, the other concise
and pithY, were tagging a walk spiced with
conversation one day, when they were met
by friend, who greeted them with this
paraphrase Of a Bible text; "DAY unto
DWIGHT uttereth speech. Dwight unto
Day showeth knowledge"
1t is believed that HowGATE's escape was
effected by a preconcerted arrangement,
though no suspicion attaches to any of the
officials around the Jail. The fugitive's
daughter who is Vassar girl, and expects
to graduate the coming summer, is said to
be heartbroken at her fathers flight,
which she cOnstrues into an open confes-
sion of guilt.
The address of the Allegheny Demo
cratic delegation announcing Hon. JAMES
II. HOPKINS candidacy states that: His
public record is unassailable, his private
life without stain or reproach. his bust
ness capacity is of the first order and his
integrity above suspicion, all of which are
assurances that if called to the chief mag
istracy of the commonwealth he will d.
rect with wisdom, and give to our party
and the people a pure and successful ad-
ministration."
Miss KATE, FIELD, who few weeks ago
dashed into print in defence of the knee
breeches of our fathers, says she has re
ceived numerous letters of thanks, many
of them coming from the West. The
Herald explains that to the average Wes
tern man knee breeches would be posi-
tive blessing, for at present he has no
special use for tho lower ends of his
trouser legs except to crowd them into the
tops of his boots, where they accumulate
dust in dry weather and moisture during
showers.
The New York Tribune sends tho Cam
eron candidate for governor the following
tasty valentine "Geueral BEAVER, the
predetermined candidate for governor
is first of all a Stalwart. He voted thirty
six times for third term at Chicago,
knowing all the time that he was mis-
representing the sentiment both of his dis
trict and his state. He was picked out for
governor because of this service. His
selections was an affront to q vast majority
of Pennsylvania Republicans, who objected
to him on account of his third d-termism,
his subserviency to the machine. and the
manner of his selections for the Office"

Candidates and Editors.


The Ne,o Era having stated that the
Centre county court had held a candi.
date liable to pay a newspaper publisher
for complimentary editorials printed
without his orders, the INTELLIGENCER
said it was 10th to believe that any en-
lightened court in this commonwealth
has pronounced a judgment so utterly at
variance with every legal and common
sense principle as that which is here as
cribed to the judicatory in which Judges
Orvis and Mayer are arbiters of the
law" Thereupon. the Centre county
Democrat declares that 1.-THE Lancaster
papers should quit meddling with our
courts and crediting them with decisions,
never made, or else inform themselves
properly and then give the truth to the
public" The Democrat explains that
only the payment for printing tickets
was in dispute, and that the question of
implied contract by the candidate to pay
for them, a question entirely of fact, was
left altogether to the jury by the court,
which "decided nothing It seems
that up that way the candidates pay for
the tickets ordered by the county chair
man at the rate Of $3.0Oper thousand, and
when one of them failed to comply with
this recognized custom he was tried and
verdict obtained against him. As the
INTELL1GENCER's s comments were based
entirely on hypothetical case-of the
verify of which it even expressed
doubts, the Democrat need not 30 tartly
have called upon it to correct its
Terror " in " sitting on judgment " in
case which it " knew nothing Of" 1t
affords lis great deal more pleasure to
record the fact that the Centre county
judges were not so stupid as they were
represented to be, than it even did to
assume that they were incorrectly re-
ported.
Meantime the defendant in the case
sends US very different report of the
facts ; he declares that part of the bill
which he was forced to pay was for
complimentary editorials" published
without any authority from him that
at most only 5000 tickets were printed,
though the verdict was for $50 and inter.
est; that the judge in his charge to the
jury said they could find for the plaintiff
the whole amount of bill with interest.
could find for plaintiff for printing
tickets, barring the editorials, or if they
thought the relations between plaintiff
and defendant were of such nature as
to no. Justify the defendant in having
WON u. any kini done by plaintiff, they

Welsh was arraigned before Alderman
economy this morning to answer for
obtaining goods under false pretense. 1t
was in evidence that Welsh had

stated that he did not have money enough
to pay for the fish at the time they were
delivered, but would pay fof them within
an hour He sold the fish below cost and
refused to pay for them-hence the suit.
Alderman McConomy held him to bail to

scandalized by similar charge against its
insurance superintendent. Bless your
hearts, when wasn't this done in Pennsyl-
vania? Our legislators draw mileage and
ride on free passes, issued in violation of
the constitution they swear to support.
But, far worse, judges of the supreme
court ride on them to the place where
they decide causes to which ono party is
the corporation whose bounty they un-
blushingly enjoy, whose bribe they carry
in their pockets.
JUDGE ELwELL has decided that the
"two months" " residence in district re-.
quired by the constitution as q voting
qualification means "from given day in
one month to the day with a correspond
ing number in the ensuing month" Al
though more than GO days it is not two
months from December 16 to February Is.
This intention of the trainers of the con.
stitution is manifest from their debates.
The same court has decided that "when a
ticket does not contain the whole name,
extrinsic evidence may be resorted to for
the purpose of showing directly the inten'
tion of the voter, OF of raising reason
able presumption in favor of the candi-
date whose name is incorrectly or only in
part contained in the ballot" When there
is doubt as to the person intended to be
voted for, by reason of misspelling of
the surname or Of the addition of dy
terent or erroneous Christian name, facts
and circumstances of public notoriety
dehors the ballots connected with the elec-
tion, and the different candidates, are
competent evidence to ascertain for whom
the ballots were intended to be cast. This
rule of evidence would not permit a voter
to contradict his ballot cast for one person,
by testifying that he intended it for
another but where there is ambiguity by
reason of the name of the candidate not
being correctly written, or the full name
not given, or by reason of there being
other persons of the same name in whole
or in part, there is not any rule or policy
Of law which forbids explanation and
proof of intention by the testimony of the
voter who cast the ballot.

Railroad WORK Begun.

AS0osssss
Marietta Tmes.
Work has at last been commenced again
on what is now the Reading, Marietta &
Hanover Railroad. A force Of men have
been put to work laying the ties and rails,
commencing at the junction Of the road
with the Columbia & Reading Railroad,
near Landisville and working this way.
The work will be pushed forward as rapid
ly as possible, and it will be but very
few months before the locomotive will be
steaming down the Chickies, and bringing
cheap coal to our doors. Nothing has
been done, as yet, by the directors
towards bringing the road from Chickies
to the business centre of Marietta although
tho matter has been freely discussed. The
cheapest plan is probably to cross the
Pennsylvania Railroad above the track at
Chickies, and run the road up the river
bank, but many of our business men think
the road should run up the alley between
Front and Second streets, as it would ac-
commodate the business men better than
along the river. The matter will probably
be held in sbcyance until after May LIST,
when 4 new board of directors will be
chosen.

against McMellen.
Mr.. Greider-It appears that you heard
326 cases, and that your fees for them paid
by the county were $916.10. The consta-
bles' cases number 318, of which 307 were
dismissed, at cost to the county of 4601,
40. Of all these cases only 10 were thought
to be important enough to send to court.
Alderman Donnelly answered that it
was astonishing how many cases from all
sorts of people, many of them from the
country, were brought before him, Of
which he would know nothing until they
were heard. Wives bring complaints
against their husbands and then beg to
have them let off. Neighbors complain
against each other and fail to appear at
the hearing. Friends quarrel, bring suit
against each other and make up before
the time fixed for hearing.
Q.-Is it your opinion that you can dis
charge case without a hearing? A.
Yes, if the parties to the case do not ap-
pear must discharge it. I had two such
cases last night.
Mr.. Greider-The county solicitor has
decided that you are not entitled to any
costs in cases discharged without hear
ing.
Alderman Donnely-That is right. We
are entitled to more, though We have tho
trouble in issuing warrants and subpOnaes
as though there had been hearing.
Q-Why, then have you charged costs in
so many cases in which there were no hear
ings? Al don't think did.
Mr.. Greider-O, yes you did; here are
quite number OF such cases, 3S in all, in
which costs are charged but in which
there was no hearing.
Alderman Donnelly-There must be
some mistake about It {; since have been
afflicted with the rheumatism it j. difficult

LEGIsLATIvE

Among the petitions presented
yesterday was one frm waial,,a, on
this island, praying that the tabu be-
taken off the sale Of Intoxicating
drinks to natives; to offset this,
there were several other petitions
asking for a prohibitory law to apply
to everybody.
Hon. Mr.. Nawahi of Ililo, offered
resolution appropriating $500
in aid Of the construction of a rail-
road in that district, which was re-
terre,l to the appropriate Commit
tee. Several other resolutions, for
various public improvements, were
presented and similarly disposed of.
Notice was given Of bill to for
bid any further sales by the Minister
of the Interior Of government lands.
The member remarking that instead
of selling those lands, they should
he leased to the highest bidder.
The proposed amendments to the
Constitution came up, having been
passed Mt the session Of 1880, and
now to bc finally passed or rejected,
under Article 30. The first of these
was amending Article 81, in regard
to the qualifications Of Representa-
tives, increasing that Of property,
from $500 to $1,000 in value, and that
of income from $3.50 per annum to
$1,000. This was indefinitely post
poned, by swingeing vote Of 80 to
s; nine members absent or not vot-
ing. The other proposed amends
ment was to Article So, and provides
for an increase Of the pay Of Repre-.
sentatives, from $3.50 for the session
to $500. Our readers may perhaps
he surprised to learn that this was
adopted, 34 ayes to 6 noes; 10 alb
sent or not voting. Among the noes
were Representatives. Gibson, Brown,
kamakcle and Aiwohi. This amend
ment, however, does not take effect
until 1884.

thrifty, gradually but surely worm
ing themselves into possession OF the
land and usurping the pursuits OF
the natives, while as a rule, they
send their earnings to China. The
Portuguese, if we continue to bring
them hither by the shipload, will
erelong rival the Chinese in numbers,
hut they are vastly different sort
OF people. Equally industrious, and
probably as thrifty in the aggregate
as the former, the Portuguese Is u
Christian by education and marry
ing man by practice. He comes to
stay, to invest his gains here, and he
makes desirable addition to our
population. Then comes the Anglo
Saxon element--Americans and
British, with considerable sprink-
ling of Germans, holding in their
hands the wealth, and consequently
the balance of power. A few South
Sea Islanders and other nationalities,
will conclude the present classifica-
ton. But should the advocates of
au immigration from the East Indies
succeed in bringing hither; a con-
siderable number of Hindus, with
their peculiar customs and manners
and their Brahmin and Mahomedan
religions, and we should also get
some Japanese with their Sintooism,
just consider, what mixture We
should be, and,-what is to be the
Hawaiian Nation of the Future?
