PUBLIC LEDGER.
Tuesday EVeninE. Feb. IA, 1852.

AT the last general election the vote
for Hancock was 128,19l for Garfield,
lO7,677. Majority for Hancock, TO-
51.l. The total vote for State tickets
was as follows: Hawkins, Republican,
1O3,97l; Wright, high tax Democrat,
1908; Wilson, low tax Democrat, 81
SAG; Edwards, Greenbaeker, 1914.
Total, 244,134. Omitting the Green
back vote, which belongs to the
low tax side, and the total Dem
ocratic vote cast was l36,549.
The total Democratic majority was
therefore 32,578, and it would have
been greater but for the apparent fact
that some extreme high tax Demo
Gratis must have voted for Hawkins.
Be this as it may, Garfield received
37O6 votes in this State over Hawkins.
1t is more likely that Democrats
voted for Hawkins than that they
voted for Garfield. With such ma.
iority in the State the Democrats, if
they are a mind to, can settle the
debt question finally without eitherre-
pudiation or coercion. Whether COM
mon sense will prevail and hot headed
fools be retired to the rear remains to
be seen.

l notice that the Memphis postefic,
question is worrying you more o.
less. With the permission Of Aims
Arleigh, | will state that the question
of Mrs. Thompson's removal has beer
settled upon for some time, not on &C.
count of her sex or previous condition
but on account Of charges on filei in the
department against her Office, made BY
three different agents. l did not wish
to speak of this, because it is unpleas-
ant to record the fact that a woman
can be failure in anything. But,
since the controversy has got into the
papers and the friends of reform have
been attacked, let it be known that
Mrs. Thompson is ne more qualified to
run the postofice than either of your
city national banks, act as Presi-
dentress Of a railroad or Cotton Ex>
change.
1t is not business to have her post
mistress, and this is 4 strictly bust
ness administration.
Political circles about this section
are very much exercised over the
effort to place Mr.. Blaine in the bath
and make galvanized Democrat of
him. Ia this effort, as in all others,
the poor South is used as a pretext,
and if the move is effected the South
will do the work, and when the Re.
publicans get done wearing the gal
vanism off, will be laughed at for her
folly. 1t does appear that the South
ern politicians are the greatest asses
at times in the world. For sixteen
years they have represented the
brains, and voting power Of the Union,
yet, during that entire period they
have been pulling with uncovered
heads the chariot of some Northern
Democrat toward the Presidency; yet
that same Democrat or galvanized
has never lifted voice
or raised hand to help the South
during any period when she needed
help. With the exception of VOORHEES,,
of Indiana, they patted us on the
back and told us that if we seeded
that the Northern Republicans would
have to walk over their dead bodies
before they ever reached US, when, lol
and behold the first batch ofprisoners
that we captured contained some OF
these very doughty defenders and en-
couragers of Southern Democracy.
They run at the South on account of
their sympathy for us and at the north,
On account Of the money spent, and
blood split in subjugating US. Give
me straight-out Republican in pref
srence to any of your half-hammond

Chicago Tribune: At the southwest
extremity Of Wales is the safe and
commodlOus harbor Of Milford Haven.
1t lies at distance of about 200 miles
southwest of Liverpool. 1t has been
neglected as British port for Ameri-
can steamers; but this coming summer
a line Of steamers will ply between
that port and New York. The Mil
ford Haven Dock Company has now
completed splendid dock of forty
acres, including what is asserted to be
the finest craving dock in the world.
Passengers by this route will be able to
step from the carriage which has
brought them from London without
change into the steamer which will
convey them to New York. All the
trouble and bother Of a cab, hotel, and
tender in Liverpool can be avoided.
The promoters promise saving of
time Of at least eighteen to twenty
four hours over the Liverpool route.
An American is said to be endeavor-
ing to purchase Sir William Hamil-
toms old mansion and estate with a
view TO governing it into hotel on the
model ofsumptuous countryseat The
situation and scenery are charming,
and it is thoughtthat the extensive and
outrageous strawberries would be,
especially in the eyes Of hoenymooners,
lust too lovely for anything" A
Pullman car will draw the visitors
from the steamship to the very door
of this terrestrial paradise; OF, if they
seek stricter privacy, one Of the small
villas connected with-the hotel will be
at their service. 1t seems that the
recent brief and rather unacoonntable
visit of that very vigorous naval officer,
Admiral Sir William Hewett, Y. O.,
to this side was in connection with
this Milford scheme, of which he is an
active and prominent promoter.

An Outrage.


Fargo Argus,I
The wantoE slaughter Of the one
great distinctive, game of the Ameri-
can plains has attained such hideous
proportions that, if Congress does not
Immediately suppress it, the extinc-
ton Of the buffalo is only a question
of two or three years time. The
Deadwood Pioneer of February I'd
says:
Fred Aller returned from success
ful buffalo hunt between Big and
Little Powder rivers, where he
slaughtered any amount Of those noble
animals, together with any amount of
smaller game. He could have killed
many more than be did, but as he bad
all the meats and pelts he could haul,
he returned. While out he met with
four parties Of Indian and many white
hunters who are Strengthening the
game at a sinful rate. One instance
that came under his observation will
show how the buffalo are being wiped
out. One hunter killed thirty in one
day and never even took their hides
The prairies in the section where he
hunted are covered with meat left to
rot. On the Powder river there are
10000 head Of cattle which are in
splendid condition, as the food has
been superb there all winter.

their country, or sought BY courageous
action to do some highly creditablC
thing, there would be some propriety
in their having medals. In that event
they would probably not have to buy
their own medals.
But they did nothing of that kind.
They merely went to Chicago under
the control of a few political bosses,
and sought by every trick and device
of the machine politician to force the
nomination for President of a man
whom the country did not want, not
only, but wLo was opposed by nine
tenths of the Republican party itself.
They supported the odious third-term
scheme, which had been conspicuously
condemned by the country. And on
the very last ballot, when all others
we're seeking a harmonious: ending
of the tedious and bitter struggle, the
bosses servitors Solidly voted against
Garfield.
The presentation of these medals
will remind the people of great
many little things that the Stalwarts
ought to want forgotten. 1t will re-
mind a great many in Pennsylvania
that every vote from this State for
Grant was Misrepresentation of the
Republicans whom it was presumed
to represent. 1t is not a new thing to
say but it is unquestionably true,
that not one district in this State
would have sent a Grant delegate to
Chicago if it had been allowed free
expression. The people. will think
of this when the medals are distrib-
uted.
These medals will 60 into some queer
places also. They will be scattered
along all the way from Moyamensing
Jail up to the White House-from
David Mount to President Arthur,
taking in Flanagan and Dorsey and
many others that sink on the way.
But the greater number of the medals
will find their recipients snugly tucked
away in public Office. The country
may take various views of this bust
ness, but it will not be likely to regard
the medals as a reward of merit.

LECrURISG A NEWS BUTCHER
President Hadden's Advice 10 q
Travelling Journalist"

One day last week President Had
den had occasion to try young maj
named Charles Haswell for vagrancy
and asked him his business.
I'm a journalist, Your Honor,
the youth answered.
Employed in the city,"
mo, sir; l travel all the time"
Maybe you're a news butcher"
81 sell papers on the train.
DO you sell candy, too?"
"Yes, sir"
"Then you are a confectiOner as
well as a Journalistic"
Yes, sir. "
"That's right; always tell the
truth" said His Honor. II think
I'll discharge you, but | want to talk
to you first Do you want to be
mani"
Il do, sir"
Then resolve to be one. Think OF
your advantages over those OF Andrew
Jackson, the great statesman. His
surroundings were those Of the ordi-
nary laborer, while your occupation
often throws you into the presence of
great men. Watch them carefully.
When they smile let your, facial anat-
omy relax just as freely as if tbey,Eere
exulting over the patriotism Of Wash
ington instead of the liberality Of some
great railroad magnate. Strive TO imi
tate the great men with whom you
come in contact, even If you are
ashamed Of yourself the next moment.
One very useful lesson you can learn
fr0u them At least. Ii you Eillnotice
yoz vii see that they always act as if
they thought their uttsranees were
worth their weight in gold. Impress
entrants With the belief that you are

p1Ee-s we're printed exclusively for

y9zr OFn interest FOR pure, disinter-
sstsd lore Of them. Always call on
high heaven 70 witness your utter
sness, no matter hoE mVrky
the atmosphere may be with
the smoke Of your cabbage leaf
cigars Be bold, be persistent.
Throw aside that modest reserve
which eharaeterizes your class. Show
the travelling public that you are not
afraid to give utterance to the honest
convictions you have in regard to the
value Of your wares, and some day you
will walk the halls of the nations
capitol. Cultivate your opportunities
The moment a man shows the least
sign Of weakening devote your whole
time to him. Ply him with dime
novels, cheap cigars, popcorn, prize
boxes, decayed bananas, bottom of.
the molasses- barrel sugar and petri6ed
peanuts lfhe buys cigar bring him
around a new box every fifteen min
utes if not oftener. Show him each
box at least dozen times. He will
think it is a new brand every time.
If he buys a book or paper, cover him
up with them in the fuilness of your
heart He will not have the courage
to refuse to buy more after having
once yielded TO your Establishments.
Go, and remember my advice"
The news butcher stood for a mo-
ment as if paralysed, and then moved
mechanically toward the door. That
lecture was too much even for his
nerves, and it was no wonder that the
audience lost all sense of propriety
ana burst out in general howl.

The State Debt Question.
American, February 10 !

American, February IL
A prominent Republican member of
the Legislature told an American re-.
porter, yesterday, that thenext special
session of the Legislature would lake
into consideration the question of a
settlement Of the State debt. He fell
certain, however, that no special ses-
sion OF the Legislature would be held
until Congress shall have passed the
Congressional appointment bill. In
calling the special session for the ap-
poriionment of the State into Con.
gressional districts he thought it more
than probable the Governor woulS
embrace in his call the subject Of the
State debt. He believed the State
credit element in the Legislature
which was in the majority, would take
definite action looking to a settlement
Of the debt.

IAlPleg Aleunsl NeWks lVln
Thomas Malone, of Nashville. one of
the counsel for the Funding Board in
the 1908 case, now pending in the Su-
preme Court, thinkB because the peo-
pie went to war in 1861 from a pure
sense Of honor and devotion TO their
country, and imperiled life, fortune,
family and everything on the issue,
that, therefore, his pet measure ought
to be allowed to stand, as it only in
wolves the sacrifice of a few trivial
dollars. We know Tom we'll. We
we're in the same brigade during
the war. and he made a gallant, useful
Adjutant, and was always ready 10 20
when and where duty and danger
called. During all this time we never
saw the least exhibition Of pathOs or
sentiment, and as Luke Wright said oil
his father, the old Judge, 1T takes o
mighty big pile Of grecnbacks to make
him cry" SO we are inclined to the
opinion that to make the stolid, cold
and calculating Tom indulge in such q
rhapsody Of diluted gush, it must have
taken a pretty good sized roll from the
plethoric groins Of the funders. Or.
binary people will have their opinion
about things sometimes.
