A MEETING Of the Democratic Com
nittae Of Allegheny county was held on
Saturday last to fix the time for holding
the primary elections and the county
Rshinating conventions. Hon. James
II. Hopkins is chairman of the Commit
tee, and on calling the meeting to order
he said Though Allegheny county
failed TO get any recognition on the
ticket, there is no doubt that it is the
best that could be selected. There is
no man on it who needs a defense, and
none whose record we need feel ashamed
of. Those of US who feel some disap-
pOintment that other names are not on
it viii put aside our personal regrets,
and help in its triumphant election as
earnestly as if those Of our first choice
had been put upon it." The original
friends Of Mr.. Hopkins never doubted
where he would be found in the event
Of his failure to secure the nomination
for Governor, and his remarks to the
Democratic committee of his own coun-
ty, as given above, show that they were
not mistaken. He is as true to his par
ty and its organization as the needle to
the pole.

A SHOCKING TALE OF CRURLTY.-James
Orr was arrested in Philadelphia on We'd
nesday of last week charged with cruelty 20
his children, boy of eleven years and girl
OF nine. When the children were brought be-
fore the Magistrate, they both were begrimed
with dirt and almost naked Theboy stated
that bis father was a carter and spent his
earnings Tor liquor. He was seldom home,
and when there he made his presence known
by brutally whipping the children with a
heavy strap or beating them with club. On
leaving the house in the morning he would
lock the children in the cellar with two dogs,
and on his return give them a crust of bread,
sometimes nothing. Recently the children
burrowed their way out of the damp dun
geon, and the neighbOrs were Mortified to see
them eating from a garbage barrel in the al
ley. Orr was held in $500 bail for court and
the children were placed in charge OF the So
elety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
dTen.

PATTISON AND BEAVER.

There is no need of indulging in any
gush over the nomination of Robert +.
Pattison for Governor that may be
left to the zeal and enthusiasm of the
party Journals. But there are some es-
sential points involved in this contest
upon which the supporters of Pattison
can boldly challenge comparison with
his republican and Independent oppon-
ents. Without seeking to defend all
the acts of his administration, it must
be conceded that in the office of Control
Ter of Philadelphia he has given proofs
of frmness, integrity, and executive
ability of high Order-qualities that
are eminently requisite for the proper
discharge of the duties of the Chief
Magistracy of Pennsylvania. In the
management of the financial affairs of
the City he has brought order and SIM
plicity out of chaos, and has introduced
an accountability in municipal trusts,
which have saved large sums of money
to the taxpayer. He has permitted
neither party nor personal consideration
to swerve him from the courageous dis
charge Of his official duties. There are
many abuses in the state-government,
many and deep-seated, which await a
strong hand of this kind for their eTadi-
cation. Partly by design and partly by
{
stitution have failed of enforcement /;
and the election of Pattison would af-
ford a guarantee that the constitution
had at last been brought under the guar
dianship of its friends.
In his limited public and official ex-
perience Gen. Beaver has betrayed a
want of executive capacity which is in
striking contrast with the high admins
trative abilities of his Democratic op-
ponent. Without seeking for one mo-
ment 20 cast the faintest shadow upon
the personal integrity and pure charac-
ter of General Beaver, weare compelled
to say that in his only opportunity to
give proof of his executive capacity-in
the management of the affairs of the
Agricultural COllege-he has been a
dismal failure. There is no doubt of
his Jealous and unselfsh devotion to the
interests of the college, and yet under
his fatal control this liberally-endowed
| institution has in brief space of time
fallen into almost complete ruin and de-
cay. Looking at the matter purely
from business point of view, it would
be somewhat strange if the people of
Pennsylvania, in choosing their chief
executive, should prefer the candidate
who could not manage the affairs of an
agricultural school to the successful ad-
mlnlSCraJOr VINO mas reduced TO Order
the confused and tangled affairs of a
great city. With the best intentions in
the world General Beaver would be sub
jected to the same trammels which re-
strained Governor Hartranft and Hoyt.
He is the candidate of the men who for
ten years have obstructed the operations
of the new constitution, and if he were
elected the constitution would remain
under the guardianship of its enemies. -

The Cameron State Committee, which
met at Philadelphia on wednesday of
last week for the purpose of uniting the
two factions of the Republican party,
submitted four propositions to the Inde-
pendents for their consideration. With
out publishing them in detail it is suffi-
cient to say that each one of them con-
tempIated the denomination Of Beaver
for Governor, whatever might become
of the other candidates on the ticket.
On the following day, Thursday, the
Independent Republican leaders, in
cluding all the candidates on their tic
ket, held a conference in the same city
to consider the proposition of the Cam
eron clan. This resulted in letter ad-
dressed to the FIVE candidates on the
Cameron State ticket, which was signed
by Stewart, Duff, Merrick and Junkin,
four of the fvescanGidates on the Inde-
dependent State ticket, in which they
submit to the bosses candidates two
counter propositions, as follows 1st.
The withdrawal of both tickets. ID.
The several candidates Of both tickets
to pledge themselves not to accept any
subsequent nomination by the proposed
convention. Mr.. Stewart and the 9TH
er three candidates uamed state in their
letter that if Beaver & Co. will agree
to the above two propositions they will
then consent to a new convention, to be
constituted in pursuance of the third
proposition of the Cameron men, Col.
NcMichael, of Philadelphia, the Inde-
pendent candidate for Congressman at
CUES in signing the letter. The Gamer
on Executive G Committee met at Phila-
adelphia on Tuesday to consider the
two propositions of the Independent
candidates, and make a reply to them.
and we win know what was done before
going to press. The Independent State
committee has been called by Mckee,
its chairman, to meet in Philadelphia,
on Thursday next, the 9th, to formally
consider the four propositions of the
Cameron State Committee to which we
have referred. There is vast deal of
'now you see itl'' and ''now you don't, -
in all this business, and we must pa
tiently wait and see what the result
will be.

DONG THE SoUTH JUsTICE.-In
Charleston l met a Michigander who
has served TWO terms in the Michigan
Legislature, held Federal Office of some
prominence in the State, and been IA
nous as politician in the Republican
party. After we had walked around
tor an hour, l asked

claimed heartily. 1--WE wouldn't stand
the half from him that the South does.
He is lazy, shriftless, thievish, and a
general nuisance. I've talked with a
as our horses. They vote my tic let.
but they can't tell me why. they
have no reason. no arguments, no prin-
ciple, and so little sense that I wonder
how they get through the week.

South justice ?''

"Why, you'n talk to your party men,

And to keep your grip you must con-
time to lie about, abuse and malign the

A REPUBLICAN paper Of the Gamer
on stripes says that Pattison ''has not a
a single qualification for the position of
Governor except that he is intelligent,
has high school education and is hon
est. - That a man who possesses 5intelli-
gence, is well educated and honest is not
precisely the kind of a man best quail
fed to fiji an Office to the satisfaction of
the people, is certainly an alarming pro-
position. 1t is because more men pos
sessing these qualifications have not
been elected to Office that bad govern
ment in the nation, State and comfy
has been the rule and good government
the exception.

THE bombariment OF the city Of Al
eXandria, Egypt, was begun by the Bri-
tish fleet under Admiral Seymour, on
Tuesday morning Of last week, and con-
tiuued throughout that and the follow
ing day, when Arab Bey, the Egyptian
commander, couceaIing his real purpose
under q flag of truce, withdrew his
forces from the city In the direction of
Cairo. Many Of the best built portions
of the city were destroyed by the contin.
uous rain upon it of shot and shell, and
in addition TO this il was set on fire in
many places by the rabble. who indulged

rapiue and murder. The loss of life on
the Egyptian side was large, while that
of The English was inconsiderable. The
city is now in possession of the British
Admiral and order is being preserved
by the sailors of the fleet. 1t is idle
now to speculate upon what will be the
end Of this the first act in the drama OF
blood. What scene the curtain may
next rise upon is very doubtful. In the
meantime England is sending all heI
available troops to Egypt.

GUITEAU HEARD FROM-A Philadelphia
spiritualist claims to have heard from Gui-
teau since his death, through the late Presi-
dent Garfield. a number of friends were
recently gathered in the Office of Jonathan
Nj Roberts, the publisher OF Mind and Matter
when one of them, Ms. Lawrence, went into
trance. She announced that Garfield was
present, and stated that Guiteau's spirit
was present with him, but was as yet too
weak to control anybody. He had found out
that his theory OF inspiration was all wrong
and that he had been the victim of evil influ-
eDces. He had been thus enlightened by a
group of friends. amOng'whOm was his victim,
the president Mr.. Roberts thoroughly be-
1ieves in the revelation, and only smiles when
asked to account for the discrepanc les of the
two spiritualistc accounts from Guiteau-
the one from New York representing him
happy, and the other as being consumed by
the eternal fires
A bystander observed however, that the
differences in statement might be Teasona bly
accounted for upon the hypothesis that Gui-
teau was up to his old tricks Of lying.

JOHN c DELANEY, formerly of Lu-

ing Republican ut that. It has been his
regular custom in recent political cam
paigns, 20 visit his old tamping-ground,
the anthracite coal regions, and with a
varied assortment Of afidavits. attempt
70 control the Irish vote against the
Democratic candidate for Governor, or
some other State Office on the alleged
ground that he had been connected with
TIE Know-NOthing order. When Mr..
Dill ran FOR Governor four years ago De-
larey went into the business of defaming
him in LRzerne county on a trumped-up
charge Of Know-Nothinism in the most
lively manner, although at the time De-
laney chaI ged him with having been a
member of the order, Mr.. Dill was a
young student in a college in Maryland.
So far, however, as Robert f. PattIson
is concerned, Delaney's occupation. like
Othello's, is gone, because when the
Knov-Nothing party in this State was
buried out of sight. at the October elec-
tion OF 1855, Pattison was only fre wears
old, and hadn't commenced wearing
pants. His want Of age is all that will
save BIN from Delaney's crusade against
his alleged know-Nothingism. Were it
otherwise Luzerne and Lackawanna
would be alive with anldavits, furnish
ed by this demagogue Delaney, for the
purpose of aroUsing the foreign vote
against him.

OLD SIMON CAMERON was in Read
ing, the capital of ''Old Berks," cou
pie weeks ago. and pTophesied several
things regarding the present campaign
in this State. One of them was that
the Democrats who fought So zealously
for Mr.. Hopkins nomination would not
permit so young a man as Mr., Pattison
is to be elected Governor, and thus
become the central figure in Pennsyva-
MIA politics. There never was time in
the political affairs of this State in
which the Democracy were so complete
ly and thoroughly united in support of
their State ticket, as they now are in
support of the ticket with Robert E.
Pattison at its head. In its favor they
are all of one mind and one heart, and
Simon knows il as well as he knows that
the present campaign will be the politi-
cal grave of his son Don. He was also
convinced that if Pattison should be
elected his friends intend to make him
the Democratic candidate for President
in 1884, and on that account the old
Democratic leaders in the State would
yield him only lukewarm support for
Governor. A man can't be elected
President until he is 30 years of age,
and Pattison won't be that old until De-
cember 1SS5-more than a year after
the next Presidential election. 1t is
not pleasant for a man of Simon Gamer
on's age to contemplate the destruction
of the political machine in this State
of which he himself was the original in
yentor, but it is as true now as it ever
was that he who sows the whirlwind
must expect to reap the storm.
