A LIE NAILED.

A Democratic Soldier SPEAKS Out Plainly.
A dispatch from the encampment of the
National Guard, at LewistOwn, TO the
Philadelphia Times, says:
"When Colonel Preston N. Guthrie, of
Pittsburg, commanding the Eighteenth
Regiment ut Camp Reynolds, was shown q
dispatch from Philadelphia saying it was
reported he would vote for Beaver, his first
remark was 1T is q lie out of the whole
cloth Then he added: why should
vote for Beaver? I am Democrat and
come from q family of Democrats. Is it
likely that q man who has been Demo-
crat during the last twenty years would
desert his colOrs now? And more than all,
why should vote tor Beaver? We have
nothing in common. Our relations arc
strictly official. The report is an outrage
I am for Pattison, first, last and all the
time. Put that as emphatically as you
can. shall not only vote for Pattis0n but
shall work for him with all the power
possess. The whole story is lie and an
insult"
The Times commenting cditOrially on
this matter, says:
1.-THE emphatic denial by Colonel p. N.
Guthrie. of Pittsburg, of the report that he
had declared the purpose to vote for Cen
eral Beaver for Governor, commits to an
early and dishOnored grave one of the
most cherished campaign stories of the
boss managers. Isolated from attendant
circumstances this imp0tent canard would
have required no refutation, for the very
ample reason that its imprObability suf-
ficiently accomplished that result. But it
is known that General Beaver has been
utilizing the opportunities which the en-
campmcnt afforded 20 work upon his ass0ci-
atcs of the National Guard in his own in
tcrcst as a candidate, and the boast of sue
cess that was alleged to have attended his
efforts spread doubt over the political
standing Of even SO conspicuously jealous
q Democrat US Colonel Guthrie The en-
phatic disclaimer published elsewhere is
conclusive on the subject, however, though
it does not Oblitcratc the fact that General
Beavers effort to pervert the encampment
from the purpose for which it was created
into field for political maneuvering is
the most serious menace against the per-
petuity andusefulness of the National
Guard that has thus far been presented"

q number of the close districts at pres
ent represented by Republicans.

The recent inquiries that have been
made concerning the political where
abouts of Mr.. Charles S. Wolfe receive
fit answer in the news from Union
county, that at Mr.. WOlfe's home the
local Republican organization has been
captured by the Independents. The
county committee made it 50 warm for
the few remaining Cameron men that
they withdrew, after which the Inde-
pendents declared the Stewart ticket to
he the regular Republican ticket, and
pledged their organization to the support
of it. This bold stroke stamps Mr..
Wolfe again as a leader of intrepidity
and sagacity. Itputs him in the very front
rank OF Independent leadership and
shows that he knows what is the very
first quality of a successful politician
the control of his party at home. While
others, prominent in the Independent
movement, have been talking more of
late than Wolfe, we fail to see that any
one of them las scored such an import
ant point as he made yesterday. Mr..
Wolfe goes to the head of the class.

nits day tho Democratic party has been
by admirable and noble men.
Resting upon base as broad as Jeffer-
ssn and extending its elevating princi-
pies to the profoundest benefactors of
the people, it may bequestioned when
the party hammer has borne a name
which the believers in equal human
rights could more unquestioningly
honor than that of the great Georgian
whOse sorely-tried life ended to-day in
Atlanta. A consideration of the char
acter Of Hill would involve an analysis
of much that i great, much that
is inspiring, much that makes hu.
man companionship a delight, and
that makes craftsmanship glory and a
monument. In the later years of his
life 'Ben Hill, "as his friends familiarly
knew him, typified all that is under
sto,d In the loftier functions of political
life. Accepting unreservedly the results
of the war, be brought to the arduous
and passionate struggles of reInion a
largeness Of view, a adispassionate benig.
nance and generosity, which, If they
did not al all times disarm the
hostility of political rancor, at
le.st mitigated the acerbities that
met the clasbiDg interests of the two
sections, thrown together without pre-,
liminary understanding. In the large
sense of the word Hill was patriot. He
not only knew of such an Instrument as
the constitution, he made it his
column of cloud by day, his pillar
of fire by night. Blunt in the
expression of the truth, he was by the
shallow mistaken for fire eater, an in
tractable, hut in all the records of his
long career there will not he Il word
found in which the sagacious provision
of the statesman does not corrobOrate
the eloquent utterances Of the orator.
His life WAS boldly written page Of all
that is generous, inspiring and elevating
in the teaching and practice that
make Democratic doctrine the final ex
preston of the hopes and aspirations Of
the party. that being made of the peOple'
suffers in their sufferings, hopes in their
hopes and aspires in their aspirations. II

THE FilsEBUGS.
Why Search for Them II DiscOuraSiDg to
Detectives.


New Era.
The threatened action of the IepreSen-
tatives of insurance companies doing busi-
ness in Lancaster, in consequence Of tho
prevalence Of inccndiary fires, again brings
our property owners face to face with a
grave question. It seems almost incretii-
bic that 4 series Of incendiary fires of
frequent occurrence should cover SO long
a period and the fre-ficnds escape with
impunity. The lNTELLIGENCER suggests
that the remedy lies in tho employment Of
4 first class detective. and experience hav-
ing illustrated that our police arc unequal
to the emergency Il detective should DO
imported who is able and willing tO deal
with the subject. Tho fact that over a
hundred lives were put in jeopardy by
Sundays fire, which was indirectly the re.
suit of tho incendiary's torch, presents
this question in q more serious aspect than
it had before assumed.
But what encouragement would = first
class detective have to undertake this diff
ficult and critical task? Experience has
shown that tho only effective way OF do.
tecting this species of crime is for the de-
tective to gain tho confidence and cnter
into the plans of the suspected parties.
This was tried in the case of q special off,
Ger appointed by tho mayor, and it was
successful up to point where the cupidity
of tho district attorney was excited by
seeing the prospect Of making additional
fees, when hc had tho detective arrested
under an almost forgotten statute and
tried by a process which bore tho brand Of
suspicion at every stage. Tho manifest
object of that statute was to ascertain tho
cause of fires in suspicious cases, but one
or moro fires occurring about the same time
tho origin of which arc involved in mystery
to this day, and which were nlouded with
public suspicion, were Ignored by the same
district attorney, while there was no doubt
about tho origin of tho ono he did investi.
gate at heavy expense to the county.
With tho probability of such q reception
from tho law officer of our courts first
class detective would hardly feel secure in
doing fire detective work within his juris-
II we had district attorney who had
the slightest moral sense of his official OBJ
legations beyond Lis ability to pocket
fees and put them where they will do tho
most harm to himself, he would co operate
with tho mayor and police authorities in
their efforts to detect and bring the in
cendiaries to punishment and in unravell-
ing the origin of fires still involved in
mystery and suspicion, instead of man.
ifesting an anomalous zeal in trying to
convict the only man who, as special
officer appointed for that purpose, sue.
ceeded in catching an incendiary in tho
very act.

FSDKTY.SEVEN.
Birthday Surprise rarity.

Rev. Geo. w. Seilhamer, pastor OF the
Union Bethel, Of this city, has for tie
past few years, while IaboriDg in his min
isterial capacity, proved himself an eS
horter above the plane of ordinary dis
tinction. A number of his folks de-
tcrmined upon III unexpected visit to the
reverend gentleman'S residence to SEQ how,
in conformity with the preaching, the
practice is fulfilled. On Tuesday evening,
the 18th inst, and the fGrty-scventh ami
vcrsary of Rev. Scilhamer's birth, was
finally decided OF as 4 beitting time, and
accordingly the pre-arransed programme
was carried out successfully. At about 8
o'clock some forty or fifty persons had as
scmbled in the basement of the parsonage Q
and found that, through tho ingenuity Of
Miss Lizzie, the reverend gentleman's
amiablc daughter. the object of their search
was successfully attaiDed and at that
mOmcnt an uncoDcious victim to we'll
meaning raid, taking his ease in his
studio on tho second floor. Every thing
arranged, the ascent was made, and the
gentleman found in tho manner described
-cOatless Of course, and the trouble was
to find tho sleeves to get that coat to its
proper place, but the time in doing SO
gave him time to recover from this /" un-
cxpectedness, which was as complete as
it possibly could have been. Appropriate
remarks on behalf of tho visitors were
offered by tho Rev. w. II. II. Criswcll, to
which the Rev. Mr.. Seilhamer responded
feclingly, showing tho appreciation and
esteem he had for this mark of love be-
slowed upon him. Refreshments wero in
abundance, aud after a fair share had
been partaken Of, tho gathering at u sea-
sonable hour quietly dissolved, with many
kind wishes for the pastor and his family,
and many returns of similar occasions.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Ncw Era, expresses itself none too
strongly in explaining the difficulties
which Obstruct tho administration of
the criminal law in this community.
Long ago the INTELLIGENCEE pointed
out the immunity which was granted to
the best workers " by their political
friends who were in a position where
their partisan interests cOnAicted with
their public duties. But when cupid
ity and avarice are the ruling motives
with the officer Of the law it may be as
sumed that no interest of society is
safe.
