Clement Cumens, who resides at the
NickIe Mines, writes to the chief of police
that he was stopped on the old Lancaster
turnpike, near tue Strasburg turnpike (he
does not state when), by two men who
stopped his team and assaulted him. They
robbed him of all his money, which was
$i.S5, a whip, horse blanket, stif hat
and some other articles. One of the assai!-
ants was tall and stout, with sandy whisk-
ers and he. wore q velvet suit. The other

The Republicans Of the House were
willing to support Keifer for speaker,
but they were unanimously unwilling TO
recognize him as their leader on the
floor The New York Times thinks
their position inconsistent and SO IL
would be If they had sincerely presented
Keifer as their choice for speaker Their
present reputation of him shows their
real opinion of him, and demonstrates
the insincerity of the support which
they few days ago gave him for the
chief office in the House. II they could
have elected him they would not have
voted for him. They should not have
voted foI him even in hopeless contest
il they had had proper self respect.
The duty Of repudiating him, which is
now upon them, would have been much
more easily accomplished if they had
not so lately given him so high
an endorsement, even though they
did not really mean to approve him.

games of CANNON, To call upon Re-
| publican voters to regard keter as a

but 10 condemn him as an unworthy
leader on the floor is asking their party
members to leap about and turn
about and jump Jim Crow in way
which is appropriate to the season only
