PA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1882

SPEAKER KEIFER's election COM
mittee in the House, composed of feleven
Stalwart Republicans and three Dem
ocrats, is getting fairly under way in
the work for which they we're selected,
of excluding Southern members and
seating Southern pretenders, without
regard to the merit of the case, or the
decency of the proceedings. The
character of some of the cases before
them is so outrageous that one would
suppose that even committee constl
tuted to do dirty work, would hesi-
tate. For instance, in the fifth dis
trict of Louisiana, Lanier, Republican,
asks to be seated instead of King,
Democrat, returned by the following
vote: King, 15,305; Lanier, 3,3lS;
majority for King 1887. Now this
miserable fraud contests the seat of
Mr.. King on the ground that if all the
voters had gone to the polls who might
have done so and voted for him, he
would have been elected. Was it to
encourage the presentation of such
cases as this that this shamefully par
tisan committee was formed? In the
third district of South Carolina Stall
brand, Republican, contests the seat of
Aiken, Democrat, on the following re-
turns, Aiken, 27,363; Stalbrand, o.
272, showing a Democratic majority
of 1883. Stalbrands ground of con-
test is on a level with that of Lanier.
If he had received votes enough he
might have been elected. In the fifth
South Carolina district, Smalls, negro
Republican claims the seat of Tillman,
Democrat, on the following returns:
Tillman, %, ,325; Smalls, II, ,2S7 show
ing a Democratic majority of S,03S.
In this case, Smalls claims the seat on
the ground that he is negro, and that
all the negroes should have voted for
him, which they did not do. This
negro. since the days of reconstruction
and carpet-bag rule, has made con-
testing a business with the view of
drawing the usual allowances from the
Treasury, whether successful or not.
With such facts as these cases present,
il is difficult to believe that even par
tisan recklessness can obtain for them
anything but a disgusted hearing.

THAT able journal, the Americal
Register, draws n terse and vivid dis
tinction between five characters who
figure before the people at all times
the statesman, the jurist, the politician,
the partisan, and the demagogue. The
fallowing are the definitions:
The StateSman is man Of eminent
ability and integrity yersed in the
science Of government, and the art OF
governing. A truly great statesman is
guided by elevated and enlarged views,
and devoted TO the interest and welfare
OF his country. regardless OF selfish,
sectional and partisan considerations.
The JuriSt is a man of eminent ability,
learning and integrity, who is versed in
the science OF the law, especially the
civil and municipal law and the law of
nations.
TIE politician is one devoted TO politi.
cal affairs, and who dabbles in politics
for living.
The partisan is the adherent OF party
or faction, who devotes his time TO its
advancement, and serves his party in.
stead Of his country.
The deHagogve il one who employs
specious and deceitful arts to deceive
and control the people, panders TO popu.
lar prejudices, and engages in nefarious
and corrupt practices TO gull and mis-.

Mrs. Lincoln interviewed.
A STATEMENT OF MA CONDITION.

STATEMENT or HER CONDITION.
A correspondent OF the Philadel.

Of Abraham Lincoln in New York.
The only reference she made to her
financial condition was to express her
extreme regret that the matter had

the public prints. She talked much
OF the past, but said she could read
but little now because of her weak
eyes, though they are getting better.

special statement Of Mrs. Lincoln's con.
dition: "We fnd Mrs. Lincoln suffer.

STRONG influences, it is said, is now
being brought to bear on President
Arthur to prevent the appointment of
Ex-senator Sargent, of California, as
the successor of Secretary Kirkwood
of the Interior Department, with some
hope that they may be successful. 1t
is humiliating to see the question dis
cussed of the discharge of compe-
tent and deserving man like Kirkwood,
for the purpose of giving place to q
brawling demagogue without substan-
tial character, like Sargent. Last week
it seemed to be authoratively an
nounced that this change would GER
tainly take place. This week the ques.
ton is in doubt, and il is to be hoped
that the doubt is we'll founded. What
ever may be thought of the parties
controlling public affairs, the people
still have an interest that the control
shall not run into degradation, and
will be well satisfied TO be spared the
disgrace Of changing KirkwoOd for

important department of the govern
men..

SENATOR DoS CAMERON has made
a speech IA great speech of twenty
minutes duration, which must reflect
distinguished honor upon the great
State he is supposed to honor by bis
presence in the Senate of the United
States. He took for his text a reso-
luton he offered declaring it "inex.
pedient to reduce the revenues by
abOlishing all existing internal revenue
taxes, excepting those upon highwines
aud distilled spirits" in which he took
occasion TO exhaust his ideas Of re.
venue tariff and the great importance
of the maintenance of the present
tariff, which he alleged "was the
prime cause of the improvement and
comfort Of the laboring classes" He
said nothing of the fact that it was
under the present tariff that all the
lights of the furnaces went out in 1873,
and brought untold suffering and mis-.
cry upon the laboring glasses from
that period until 1880. But however
crude and unsatisfactory the ideas Of
the speaker may be as to cause and
effect, the fact is patent that the glory
of the State is returning when her
senior Senator gets off speech upon
important and far-reaching economic
questions, and all in twenty minutes
of passing time.

'Mr. Arthur, tho Acting President.

Many of the Republican papers are
as careful in speaking of President
Arthur by his title, as the Democrats
were in speaking of the man who oc-
cupied the office to which the people
elected Mr.. Tilden. They speak Of
the President as "Mr. Arthur, the
acting President" This mode of ad-
dress is significant, but not of harmony
certainly, and as the President con-
tinues TO develope the Stalwart policy
of his administration forshadowed soon
after he entered the White House, this
feeling of discourtesy will continue to
intensity and indicate more clearly the
inevitable war brewing between the
Stalwart's minority and the Garfield
men us led and represented by Blaine.
That these men are prescribed by the
Stalwart administration, is too appar-
ent to be disguised by the adroit eau.
ton of the President, and the fact will
in due time bear its fruit. The revo.
luton in the Republican party, which
has been steady and marked since the
the death of President Garfield, is not
played so quietly that the Garfield
and Blaine Republicans are ignorant
of its significance, and when they speak
of their lawfully elected President as
a plain "mister," holding the Office as
the fruit of assassination, it means
something and is the precursor of war,
silent perhaps, but aggressive against
third.term and Boss machinery.
