Trenton Courier: On the 4th in
stant. while Bob Bradford, colored
who lives in the 4th district was in
the field plowing, his wife went to a
neighbor's house, leaving two children
aged respectively 3 and 5 years alone
in the house. BY some means un-.
known the house took fire, and both
children were burned to death.
A disgracful occurrence took place
in our town last Sunday night, when
some conscieneeless persons let off a

Our Marshal has as yet been unable
to find out who they were, and conse.
quently no arrests have been made. IF
they are caught, they will certainly be
hnsd TO the extent of the law. Such
acts are extremely disgraoeful, and
should be frowned down by all good
citizens.

"what action win your committee take on the
bill granting charter to the National Railway,
from Washington to New York;" asked our re-
porter Of Hon, George G. Hazelton, chairman Of
the House Pacific Railroads Committee.
"The committee haven't told me yet what they
are going to do, so you must ask mo something
easier. This can say, however: Wednesday Gem
eral Cresswel, Of Maryland, and General Jeliries.
of Pennsylvania, came before the committee. The
latter made q long and exhaustive argument
covering the only point in question, which is,
the power Of the NATIONAL Government to
charter n railway line through the States.
He quoted at great length from the opinions of
the Supreme Court and especially Chief Justices
Marshall and fancy and Justice Story, all showing
that under the Constitution the National Govern
ment could grant such a charter both TO open and
maintain post route and to regulate commerce
between the States"

HazeltOn?' queried our SCRIBE

They listened with close attention and seemed

"Then infer that the committee will report
favorably?" was the next question.
"You are to infer nothing on my authority.
The proposed charter involves question of con-
stitutiOnal law, That question will be fully con-

Wayne MacVcagh.

This noted charlatan has turned up
again. He has been addressing the Civil
Service Reform Association of Philadel-
phia, over which he presides. He
charged his old civil-service-refor part
ncr, President Hayes, with having re-
warded with public office the authors of
questionable services in Louisiana and
Florida" emitting TO state that he him
self rendered the questionable service of
aiding to tear down the legitimate Pack
ard government in the former State in
1877. He assaulted President Arthur in
the usual form of pharisaical cant and
hypocrisy, pretending to be shocked at
the existence of an alleged spoils system.
lie says his party, meaning the Republic
can party, which he always ISLANDERS and
opposes, has but three principles, viz.
The spoils system, opposition to civil
service reform, and reputation in Vir-
ginia. This is the man who could not
appoint district attorney in Demo-
cratic State until he had first asked the
permission of the Democratic Senators,
or, TO use his own phrase, the Democratic
"bosses" from that State His SANDER
of the Malone plan of readjustmcnt is
merely the ignorant echo of false and
vulgar cry.
MacVeagh says the duty of his associa-
ton is to supplant the bosses. In Penn
sylvania this has more special reference
to his wifes father and brother who
have been for many years the objects of
his defamation by inference, even while
he hesitated not to accept their hospi-
tally. In all the cunning and unscru-
pulous acts of the demagogue, and in all
the worst practices which he affects to
condemn, there is not probably in the
whole land greater adept or more
willing practitioner than Wayne Mac
| Veagh.
So far as his own conduct as an official
is concerned, we have heard it charged
that while Acknowledgement he did not
cease to be the attorney of the great rail-
road corporation to retain whose bust
ness he finally left the Cabinet, his salary
as attorney for both sides going steadily

THE BILL OF EXCEPTIONS


Next Monday week. the oath instant the April
term of the Supreme Court ofthe District ofColum-
bia sitting in general term as Court in Banc will
be convened At this term the appeal case ofChares
j. Guiteau will be considered and disposed of. The
District Attorney has applied to the court to have
the case assigned for the opening day of the term,
and there Is no doubt that II will be taken up on
that day, unless some Unforeseen obstacle should
arise. The law provides that, on an
appeal sentence cannot be carried into ex-
ecutlon until thirty days after the expiration
Of the term Of The court in which sentence has
been affirmed. Therefore the April term Of court
will have to close on or before May 80 to enable
Judge Cox's sentence TO be carried into effect, so

He was eulogized in the Department
building during Office hours by his
own clerks, collected together with
his approval, and made speech
TO them praising them and himself for
the great good they and he had done the
Republican cause. There may be some
men who think they can ascertain o
mans fitness for Office by asking him
questions, but Schurs and Pearson are
of a more practical turn. AS Reformers
they are frauds of standard quality and
extra size. Mr. Hatton is not likely to
be crushed out by them, although of
course he must expect them to misrepre-
sent him.

On Thursday afternoon n committee OF plate

SECRETARY WILLIAM E. CHANDLER.
A Complimentary Letter from "a Repub-
Iican of Florida.

To the Editor Of THE REPUBLICAN;
The appointment and confirmation of Hon. W.
L. Chandler as Secretary Of the Navy auRurs well
for the continued success of the Republican party
1t has been mainly due to the capacity and fidelity
of such men that the party has been able to
achieve the splendid series of victories embazoned
OH its banners, aud which are unparalleled in the
history Of American politics. The policy of Presi-
dent Arthur in calling such men to place and
power Is an encouraging contrast to that Of Mr.
Hayes, whose political creed seemed to be to set
his foot upon the neck of every one who had con-
tributed to his elevation, or who was conspicuous
for party loyalty and zeal. Perhaps to
no one did Mr.. Hayes owe deeper
debt of gratitude for services rendered than to
Mr. Chandler, and yet no one came in for u larger
share of his base ingratitude and impotent spite.
As an active participant in the campaign Of 1876
IN Florida had All opportunity OF Judging of the
merit of Mr.. Chambers services and can say
| from full knowledge of the situation there at
that critical moment that the party owes him a
debt which the elevation to the highest Office
within Its gin would not sufficiently repay, Only
those thoroughly familiar with Florida politics at
the time knew the full extent OF the danger which
| menAced the success of the Republican electoral
| ticket at the close Of The memorable campaign Of
10 and to Mr. Chandl er's tact and Judgment and
executive ability and indefatigable efforts, more
than TO all else combined, 10 due the
| triumphant issue Of that contest, Among
| the visiting statesmen ihere Were
those who attempted to betray the Republican
cause, a, well ms those who sought TO divide the
counsels OF the party leaders tlefet pul te HlBl-
| lance of MIR. Chandler detected and defeated the
one and his tact and judgment secured the harmo-
nious operation OF the other; aud he was rec e.
ni2ed as the one TO whom all should go for advice
| and instruction. The amount OF labor when he
performed here as counsel for the hepubhean
| electors wonld simply be deemed incredible TO any
| one who docs not know his powers of industry and
! his splendid executive talents, There was not a
! poini in the Florida case" that did not receive
| his personal scrutiny. He marsh9led al the iacs,
arranged all the testimony, ana directed the lahors
| Of all; and when the other twisting statesmen
| were exhausted and asleep he was found toiling
| with the devotion Of one whose dearest Interests
Florida lei me say that there Is not one Of them

| and admiration, and who docs not rejoice &C the
