The New York Sun says that if
the Democrats carry New York, New
Jersey and Ohio this year, the result
will be generally regarded as deci-
sion of the Presidential contest in
their favor. The prospects are bright
for Democratic victories in all these
States, and with Ohio leading off in
October with a handsome majority
for Hoadly, there will be but little
doubt of the triumphant election of
the Democratic nominee for Presi-
dent next year.

The New York papers state that
the decision of the solicitor general
that the expectation Of bonded whisky
to Bermuda, with view to it's REIN
portation for the purpose of evading
the immediate payment of the inter
nal revenue and tax extending the
bonded period, is not an expectation
according to the meaning Of the law,
was a matter of general discussion
among the large dealers in distilled
spirits in that city Saturday. There
were several anxious consultations OF
Of the whisky men, at one of which
General Raum, ex-Commissioner of
internal revenue, expressed the
opinion that the solicitor gen
erals law was sound and unim-
peachable. The opinion of deal
ers generally was that this opinion
would affect the trade throughout the
country hundreds of thousands of
dollars, and others predicted that
many failures would follow. A Gin
cinnati dispatch says the decision
principally affects the producers of
Bourbon whisky. Producers of high
wines, which comprise all the distillers
north Of the Ohio river, are not affect
ed in the least by it, as they do not
put their product in bond, but sell it
as soon as made - baltimore Sun.

The Republican party has past of
which it is not ashamed.-New York
Tribune.
There is certainly no evidence that
the Republican party is ashamed of
its past. 1t had Secretary Of War
named BeIknap, and it was not
ashamed of his practices. 1t showed
no shame for the whiskey frauds in
which its Babcock was implicated. 1t
was not ashamed of the Credit Mobil-
ier bribery and corruption by which
Republicans were brought up to vote
and act in Congress for the benefit of
the Union Pacific railroad. 1t had q
Vice President named Colfax, who
was covered all over with Credit Mo
bilier mud, but it was certainly not
ashamed Of him. 1t stole the Presi-
lency for Hayes without any shame.
1t rewarded those who had aided in
the theft, and did not blush. 1t was
not ashamed to raise million dollars
in New York to send to Indiana as a
corruption fund to buy the vote of the
State. 1t elected Garfield and Arthur
by open bribery and fragrant frauds
on the ballot box without hlushing.
Its checks did not burn with shame
when banker who had collected the
corruption fund was rewarded with
the French mission. 1t sees the post
Office officials, its ex-senator and Sec
retary of the National Committee on
trial at Washington for robbing the
Government Of millions of dollars, but
that trifle does not call blush of
shame to its check. 1t saw its candi-
date for the Presidency write letter
to the chef Of the Star route robbers
begging for money for the Presiden-
tial campaign, but found nothing to
blush at in that Really, the Repub-
lican party is not ashamed Of any
thing .-New York World.

Bradstreet's estimate that the
wheat crop of the present year will
fall below last year over 10000, nno

from last year it is not probable we

prices for it.

The LOCAL NEwsPAPER.-Wha
tells so readily the standard of town
as the appearance of it's paper? The
enterprise Of it's citizens is depicted
by it's advertisements, their liberality
by the looks of the paper. Some
papers show a good solid, healthy
foundation, plethoric purses, and
well-to-do appearance generally; 9th
ers show a striving to contend with
the grasping thousands around them,
trying to wrench out an existence
from a close listed community.
A newspaper is like a church; it
wants fostering in the commencement,
and for few years, and then as a
general thing it can walk alone, and
reflect credit on it's location. Take
your home paper. 1t gives you more
news of immediate interest than New
York or other papers; it talks for you
when other localities belle you; it
stands up for your rights; you always
have champion in your home paper,
and those who stand up for you should
certainly be well sustained. Your
interests are kindred and equal, and
you must rise or fall together. There
fore, it is to your interest'to support
your home paper; not grudgingly, but
ina liberal spirit; as pleasure, not
as disagreeable duty; but as an
investment that will amply pay the
cxpenditure.-Chtcago Times

NOTES.
A handsome wreath, the Gift of
some Morgantown ladies, was given
to the Uniontown boys. They APP
preciatcd it highly.
Seaton's batting was immense. on
one occasion he kaocked the ball
clear over the fence and got home
on it.
Reports of the game that have APP
pcared in a number Of papers say
that our boys refused to divide the
gate money. This is denied, and
officers of the club say that no pro-
vision was made for such division;
that the Roughs never received a
single cent from any game they ever
played and that they cheerfully di-
vided when the Lafayettes claimed it
to be the custom. M
Notwithstanding the rumors to the
contrary, wo do not believe that over
$4,000 changed hands on the result
of the game.
f. X. Kaine, the Umpire, was at
one time student here Many Of
his old acquaintance gave him a
cordial welcome.
1t is said the visitors thought they
were not received as cordially as they
should have been. Ifso, it may have
been owing to the general hustle that
prevailed in preparing for the cele-
hraSion of the day. We regret that
any misunderstanding whatever
arose.
We learn that arrangements are
in progress for return game to be
played at Uniontown in few weeks.
The spectators behaved well and
no trouble occurred during the pro-
gress of the game Quite number
of ladies attended.
Nate Kiger covered first in his
usual excellent style and also knock
ed the longest ball of the game.
Devine did splendid catching, and
besides his ball plying is very elev
er popular young gentleman.
Ike Hickman seemed to be more
chagrined at the result than any
other man in the club.
Charley Trainer made the best
score for the Roughs-4 runs and l
out. @
After the second inning Will 10
seph took his accustomed place as
pitcher, which evidently reduced the
score for the Lafayettes.

MIR. A. II. Williams, statement.

The Republican this morning publishes the
following card from Mr.. A. d. Williams:
San Indictment having been found against
me am frequently asked by my friends to ex-
plain 1t. Being very busy at this Time and
meeting many people daily, this imposes
serious task upon me. To avoid this dlfIlculty
permit me to state through your columns that
the charge against me is monstrous lie, and
any member OF the Grand Jury who listened
TO the testimony OF Major Morgan and
Lieutenant Guy knew that 1t was a
lie when he voted 1t 'true bill.' At
the request OF Major Morgan, I made
an earnest and honorable effort to restore
to the owner some stolen property, but was
unable to do 80, and the result OF this effort
so far has been siander for him and an indict-
ment for me. No grand jury can be so ldlotlc
or so ignorant as not to know from the testi-
mony given before them that my action was
wholly In my professional capacity, and en-
tirely without personal interest TO myself.
am constrained therefore to believe that ma
licious and venal Influences have invaded the
Grand Jury-room, and that this indct-
ment has been dictated by the 'high
officials" whose enmity i seem TO have
aroused by exposing their criminal acts In
connection with the Star-Route Jury. The
purposes OF these officials and their knayish
hirolings, one of whom has OF late been per-
mitted TO insult the people of this District by
his presence in the Grand Jury-room, VIII be
defeated, and the public will then see that my
action In this metter has been honorable and
lust, ga, b. WILLIAMS"

Some More Iies-An Explanation

Failing In every endeavor to check the
steady course of justice, the star-Route rascals
have finally resorted to blackmail. They have
concocted an Infamous story connecting the
name of President Arthur with a woman of
doubtful reputation, and, after falling to
secure immunity as the price of silence, they
have caused the publication OF the scandal In
few newspapers which are sans decency,
character or influence. Few people know the
efforts these scoundrels have made to involve
the President in q situation which could be
tortured into compromising one. They
have even gone so far as to try to
introduce bawds to tho White House
through the agency of mon who wero
supposed TO be trusted friends of the Admin
istration. But all of these attempts have
signally tailed. 1t was only last week that
noted New York politician appeared at the
Executive Mansion with couple OF women
whom he desired to present TO the Presidents
estimable sister. Tho character OF the visitors
incontinently bundled into the street, and told
to make Off and be careful not to return. Such
are some of the means the desperate scoun-
drels are adopting. II is safe to say they have
not taken a correct measure Of their Intended
victim.-Chioago Nears.
OF course all that part OF the above article
referring to the "Star- -Routers' Is a lie.
The New York politician referred to is
Colonel Thomas Murphy, and the President
enjoys a much more Intimate acquaintance
with the ladies the Colonel escorted to the
White House than the Colonel himself can
boast,

AN UNUSUALLY stupid paragraph in the
organ yesterday calls for a parade of facts
The organ is afflicted with the idea that
because the 4th of March comes this year
on Sunday, Congress will have to adjourn
or take recess on Saturday until Monday,
the 9th. This is mistake. This Congress
dies on the 1th of March, at IL o'clock nj.
The legislative day of the 81 expires at
precisely the same hour on the 18th that it
begins on the third. Thus, if the Senate
should meet on Saturday, March g. at II a.
M, the legislative day will expire at IL a.
m. on Sunday. By examining the
Senate journal, second session, Forty
fourth Congress, on page 415, it will
be found that on motion of Mr.. Window,
at 3 o'clock and AZ minutes a. m, Sunday,
the Senate took recess until o'clock q.
M, met and transacted business until about
11:30 a. M, when Mr.. McCreery submitted
W. Ferry for the dignity, ability and inn
partiality with which he presided over the
Senate. The resolution was agreed to.
The President pro tempore then resumed
the chair and addressed the Senate, at the
conclusion of which the Congress, at 12
a. M, on Sunday, March A, adjourned sine
die.
The Senate met at 12 o'clock IN. on the
9th (Monday), hut it was in accordance with
y proclamation promulgated on the second
day of March, 1877, and signed U. s. Grant.
On the 9th Mr.. Hayes was inaugurated.
That extra session lasted until the 18th of
March, on which day it adjourned.
On page 1888 of the rules governing the
two Houses will be found the following:
"The last session of Congress expires at
- o'clock meridian on the 18th of March.
On the Sd of March, 1851, on which day the
Thirty.frst Congress expired, and on
which the term of one-third of the mem
bers Of the Senate would also expire, the
Senate being in session at IL o'clock mid
night, Senator (Mr. Mason, of Virginia.
expressed doubt, believing that his present
term ofservice expired at that hour, whether
he could continue to act as a Senator unless
he were qualified under his credentials of
reelection and desired that the oath of office
be administered to him by the President Of
the Senate under those credentials. The
Senate thereupon by a vote of 27 yeas to IL
nays passed the following resolution:
"'Resolred, That inasmuch IS the second ses :
| sion OF the Thirty-irst Congress does not ex-
| pire under the Constitution until IL O'Clock on
| the 4th Of March, instant, the Hon. James NJ.
| Mason, Senatorelect from the State OF Vir-
ginia, is not entitled to take the oath OF once
at this time, to wilt, ''on the 1th of March, az
| O'Clock a. m."
We trust that the Republican political
editor has now discovered when this session
of Congress will adjourn. Doubtless it has
learned of David Davis resignation. We
hope it is equally resigned.

the State and then compel IL to buy IL blclS
ut an exorbitant price, or sec the scene OF
the proudest event in its history remain in
private, and mayhap alien, hands. Taken
all in all this proposed grab is about the
meanest steal that has ever been attempted
it is next door to grave robbery.
This scheme has brought to the rccolIec.
tion of a correspondent similar aud more
successful job by which sixteen miles of
Mississippi River watcr-front was certified
over TO the State and bought in by the
notorious James b. Eads, of jctty7ob fame,
for few hundred dollars. Immediately
afterward the Government was compelled
to rent from Eads at an enormous price,
the grounds for buildings and tool houses
needed by the engineer aud lighthouse
services.
All the dishonesty and thieving did not
disappear from the South with the exodus
or quetus of the so-called carpet-bagger.

first stat ID and what provoked the discussion?
The Evening critic., 1883-02-28

THE delay in the Senate's action on the
nominations of the Civil-service Commits
sioners is supposed to be due to their being
engaged in figuring out the following in
sanity provoking question propounded by
Dorman B. Eaton, chief lunatic-at-large
and his Commission in Grants time:
Two.thirds OF sevenninths of what number
is one.half Of eight and two nfths divided by
fourteen and seven-tenths less than fourteen
and two.sevenths?
If any Senator has got the right answer
to this without looking on the book he is
partly qualified for the lowest-grade De-
partmental clerkship.

THE vile and venal New York Times,

SINGULAR job has just been exposed in
Louisiana. Governor Sam McEnery some
time ago authorized his brother, John
McEnery, the claimant governor against
Governor W. P. Kellogg, to hunt up lands
which had not been turned over to the
State under the Swamp-Land act, he to re-
ceive one-half of all lands so recovered.
He went before the United States Land
Offices at New Orleans and denounced a
part Of the Chalmette battle-ground. The
evidence that the tract of land in question
was swamp land at the time of the passage
of the act Of 1850 consisted of aiiidavits to
that effect made by four of the "best" citi-
zens of New Orleans, one of them
being General Beauregard. An attempt to
head off the conspiracy was made
by the owner of the adjacent tract, but it
failed through the activity of the distln-
guished land pirates. By this time Sur
veyor- General Gla, an honest colored man,
got wind Of these proceedings and on exam
lining into the matter found that the
ground in question had been in cultivation
for more than hundred years that Gen
eral Jackson's advanced line of breastworks
was thrown up on this particular tract ;
that in 1855 it was purchased by the State I;
That monument commemorative of Jack
