Confession OF Murderer.
Boston, Jan. 19-The journal in the MORN
ing will contain the confession of a murderer
committed two years ago by young man
named Frank Goodwin now in Jail
at Worcester awaiting trial for burglary
Goodwin's story is substantially as follows: In
1878 he was confined in the Westboro, Mass,
reform school and escaped shortly after, going
to Barnstabe to work during the cranberry
season. Subsequently he came to Boston and
in January, 1880, induced two men, one named
Ainsworth and the other Brown of New York
to start with him for Barnstable to obtain work.
While on the way for short cut they rowed
across portion of the bay and when near
Barnstable all three boarded avessel anchored
in the stream. While on board and during a
quarrel Goodwin shot Brown dead
and silenced Ainsworth by declaring
he would swear Ainsworth did the killing,
then took the body ashore and buried it in a
swamp. Goodwin has since been in Jail, tried
to commit suicide several times and says the
crime has been weighing on his mind. Off
GERS have been investigating the story and find
much corroboratiye evidence.

Pennsylvania POLITICS.

1t was clear enough that Robert Smith
Lister shot man deliberately in railroad
car, while on his way back TO Philadelphia
from state convention; yet it caused sur
prise in that city when he was convicted
and sentenced to one years imprisonment
ae he was an influential politician, and had
never been punished for his habit of shoot
ing folks. His case illustrates the depth
of Philadelphia politics. The newspapers
give the particulars of his weunding six
men with bullets within fifteen years. but
in only two instances was he brought to a
trial-one jury disagreeing through cor
ruption, while on another occasion a par
don prevented Imprisonment. His violent
assaults without weapons were too numer
Gus to recount. 1t was natural therefore,
when the seventh case of shooting came
up, that his protection by the authorities
should be expected. He was an emplove
at g. 900 a year in the Coroner's office,
and in as high favor as ever with the poll
ticlans. But the recent conviction of sew
eral jury fixers made the rascals afraid to
oppose an honest prosecution, and Lister
at last goes to prison

This is absolutely all that is known Of him,
and yet we are called upon to believe that
just as many Greek towns competed for
the honor of being the birthplace of Homer,
so number of English boroughs are al
most fighting for the honor of electing Mr.
Coutts member of the House of Com
mons. Were this really so, it would be a
national disgrace; but until Mr.. B.-B.-C.
reveals to us the names of these localities,
decline to believe that one single borough

THE FRANKING PRIVILEGE.

A few years ago there was a public out
cry against the franking privilege and the
abuses that had grown out of it, and in
obedience to that outcry the privilege was
abolished. Ever since then some Congress-
man, or other, has been anxious to reestab-
lish it. Senator Logan has introduced bill
that does not in terms repeal the existing
law, but destroys tie principle by providing
that all official business sent through the
mails by Senators. Representatives, and
Delegates in Congress, identified by their
autograph signature. shall be transmitted
without the payment of postage. This is
a long step toward reestablishng the orig
inal franking privilege. against which an
effectual public protest was at last raised,
and if passed we may soon expect once
more to have Congressmens dirty linen
sent home through tie mails for washing.
1t should at once be defeated

A NEW MACHINE.

La Lunasere Electrlgue describes curl
Gus application OF electricity to prevent
military conscripts practicing fraud as to
their stature by bending their knees.
When the conscript stands erect against
the measuring post, the hind parts of his
knees press on electric contacts. causing
two bells to ring; the ringing ceases when
there is the least bending. The sliding
bar which furnishes the measure has also a
contact, which is pressed by the head,
whereby third electric bell is affected.
For correct measurement the three bells
should ring simultaneously. This instru-
ment is employed in the Spanish army.

FoRNEY,s LAST Scot.

Few men as editors wrote with such
power and directness as the now lamented
Colonel Forney Always closely divining
the right from the wrong, it was his Gus
tom to speak of matters tersely. and to call
things by the right name. His last editor
ial was in reply to republican cores
pondent to the Progress, and he thus re-
viewed the political frauds of the times:
Twenty years of power, of plumber
and abundant opportunities; twenty years
of civil war, democratic mistakes and re-
publican money; twenty years of posses
sion of all the sources of national admin
istration; twenty years of the active and
unceasing, organizing efforts of at least a
million office-holders and their dependents,
have left what? The harvest of an cleo
ton procured by the open and unblashing
purchase of the sovereign state of Indiana.
This spoliation does not depend upon dem
ocratic evidence; it is based first upon a.
republican brutal boast, and afterv ards
upon universal republican confession.
Even as / write, the architects of that
lark and damnabie fraud are in conflict
whether to hang Guiteau for the murder of
Garfield. or to punish Dorsey for the de

HALsrEAp AND GARFIELD

There has been good deal of news
paper talk lately about the attitude oil
Murat Halstead toward General Garfield,
before and after the Chicago convention.
The facts of the case seem to be about as
follows:
Mr.. Murat Halstead, editor of the Gin
cinnati Commercial, the defamer of Garfield
when it seemed that his career was to end
in shame and humiliation, and his eulogist
when all the world held him in high re-
gard, has been brought to bay and forced
to explain his unmanly course. He neither
denies nor explains his defamations; he
makes no attempt to defend his calumnies.
His only explanation is this:
81 did exaggerate the impression that attacks
upon Garfeld's record could make upon the eoun-
try. He had done so much good work that the peo-
pie grew weary of hearing of his small mistakes.
His character and public services proved over
whelmng answer to the errors committed through
business ineXperence and senstiyeness to pow
erty."
According to Mr. Halstead, Garfields
record was as bad as he represented it to
be when he published that the (Garfield)
ttsods marked all 0cer eoith tie Credit Ai0biI-
aer snoagI-poe" Mr. HaIstead re-affirms the
scandals about the dead President, and at
tributes them to 'senasttiueness to p0oeTty."
What that means is too plain to need in
depreciation. 1t is so plain that he who
runs may read.
But to another instance of Mr.. Halstead's
defamation of the dead:
When, at Chicago, the talk and feeling
began to turn toward Garfield as the best
man to centre upon. Mr.. Halstead wrote
to the Hon. Richard Smith, editor of the
Cincinnati Gazette as follows:
What does this senseIess chatter about
Garfield mean? In addition to his Credit
Mobiler and paving job scandal, have
just learned from an Ohio member of Con-
gress that he was up to the neck in
Dom Platt's Understanding swindle.
To nominate HIM with such record would
be suicide, Keep Ohio in line for Sher-
man. Show this to the delegation.
This letter was mailed to the Hon. Richard Smith
at the Grand Pacific Hotel, at Chicago. To enforce
the object of his letter-the stopping of the chat
next day telegraphed TO Mr.. Smith follows:
"See letter mailed y0N last night
Before Mr.. Smith received the letter the chatter''
about Garfield was changed to the acclamatiOns
which greeted his nomination. Mr.. Halstead then
telegraphed to Mr.. Smith TO not show the letter.

FRENCH WINES.

The French official statistics for 1881
confess to 47,000,000 gallons of wine
made in France from sugar, and 81, 900, 900
gallons more made from raisins; while the
imports of Spanish and italian wines for
blending" amount to 50, 10000 gallons
These together are equal to just one-third
of the actual yield of the French vineyards
last season, or to one-half of the yield in
1879; and no account is here taken of the
large importation from Greece, Syria, Asia
Minor, and the Levant islands.
