WE agree entirely with our esteemed
contemporary, the Examiner, in recon-
mending correspondents to send their
communications recommending partic-
ular persons for county superintendent
to DIR. Higbee, who has the authority
and responsibility of making the ap-
pointment, and not to the newspapers.
We give no credence to the current re-
port that the state superintendent has
transferred that responsibility to the
faculty and trustees of Millersville
state normal school. When the board
of directors of that institution selected
the present county superintendent as
the head of their faculty, they secured
for themselves no right to name his sue
cessor.. As private citizens they have
the right to their opinions on the proper
selection for Superintendent Shaub's
succession, and to express them to the
state superintendent, but even if there
were not peculiar reasons why they
should not dictate the choice of a county
superintendent, we have no idea that
Superintendent Higbee will delegate
that power to them.

ME. GARRETT'S LETTER,

He is Mortified That IT Is Made Public.
Tha following appears in the Philadel
phia Ledger to day:
to Speaker Faunce, GU the subject of the
present composition, and the alleged want
of effectiveness of the board of public
charities, appears in tO-day's Ledger, and
having been intended for a private letter,
and not at all for the public eye, requires
some supplement. I regret that com
munication, in which there is so much ego
and also personal reference to . gentleman
by name, whom l esteem very highly,
should have gone to the newspapers, with
out that modification of language, which
one properly makes in addressing the pub
lie.
DIR. Luther, who is referred tn, is a man
of great benevolenoe, urbanity and intcg-
rity, as we'll as experience in philanthrO-
pic work, and it is a privilege to be az
sociated with my colleagues, whose
qualities every way fit them for their
Office. If any of them are too much Oc.
cupied in other ways to give proper atten.
tion to its:duties, or if the worthy secretary
has advanced too far beyond tho "three-
score and ten " allotted to man, to possess
the activity required by his position, it is
no derogation to character in either case
to say it would be we'll for them to resign.
Without personal preferences of any
kind, we must all desire to sec the board
of public charities rendered az efficient as
possible. Yours very truly,
PHILIP G. GARRETT.

MIX. CROWLEY ANNOYED
His Relations With the Administration
Very Pleasant.


The Hon. Richard Crowley was asked
by reporter to give his reasons for with
drawing from the prosecution of the South
Carolina election fraud cases, his with
drawal having caused unfavorable CON-
ment concerning his relations with Prcsi-
dent Arthur's administration. In response
he said: 81 asked to be excused from
serving in those cases, because my duties
Movius, my partner, has been sick
and kept at home for some weeks,
and is not likely to be able to at
tend to business for two or three weeks to
come. Mr.. Wilcox, the junior member of
the firm, was unable to attend to all the
business that demanded attention. AS
attorneys for the West Shore railway we
have had to buy the right of way through
three counties and in this city. There are
claims to adjust and commissions to look
after. This being the state of affairs felt
it to be my duty to relinquish the South
Carolina cases. The West Shore company
had aprior claim upon me and for that
reason came back to look after it's affairs,
"There are variety of rumors in the
papers, and many of them, as you can
imagine, are extremely annoying. NV
relations with the department of Justice
are, and have always been, of the pleas
ATTEST character. Tho statement is made
that the attorney general reduced my bill
in the Lee and Hall cases. This bill was
a fair and reasonable Onc.''
Mr.. Crowley then read to the reporter a
portion of a letter received from the at
torney general, in which the latter ex
pressed his deep regret at Mr.. Crowley's
inability to act in the cases. The letter
was couched in the most cordial and
friendly terms. In regard to my rela-
tions with Mr.. Arthur" added MIR. Crow.

IT was the benevolent and philanthropic

CHAIRMAN HEATH, of the late Greenhack
dying swan in issuing call fer i meeting
of tho state committee Of that mori-
bund organization at Harrisburg on

No more popular delusion exists than
in regard to the queens surname. People
generally believe it to DO Guelph. There
are some, however, who know that, in
marrying Prince Albert, of Coburg -Gotha,
the sovereign took the surname of her
husband, Victim, which has for upwards
of 45O years been the family cognomen of
the house of Saxony. And the Prince of
Wales and all the rest of her children bear
that name.
The benevolent bcquests of the late
David L. Small, "f York, arc greater than
first reported, his lcgacies to tho presby-
terian church enterprises alone aggrega-
ting over $50, 900, including $40, 600 each to
the cause of homo missions, foreign
missions and Lincoln university. 1t was
reported that some of them would fail by
reason of being made within thirty days
of testator's death, but with due regard to
his wishes his executors and family have

THE anti.explosiou bill has been hurried
through by the English Parliament,
which was actuated, no doubt, by the
acceleration which those whom it is iu.
tended 20 affect evince in their actions.
The bill provides Il maximum penalty of
life long servituGc for causing al explosion
imperiling life or property. For an
attempt to cause an explosion, whether
successful or not, or for making or keeping
explosives intended for such purpose,
tho penalty is Imprisonment for twenty
years. Fourteen years. Imprisonment will
be the term for making or keeping ex.
plosives under suspicious circumstances.
The absence of the death penalty is nota.
BILE. England evidently is beginning to
observe that the prospect of lifelong i'm.
prisonment with hard labor will do more
/, to deter the terrorists than to allow them
to face death on the scaffold amidst the ex-
pressed coincidence of their sympathizers,
in which proceeding there is much to
| induce tho criminal to consider himself q
martyr and to inflame in his fellows a
spirit of emulation.

as the speaker of the House, frees it
from the criticism we made upon its i'm
proper address and the egotism and un-
kindness of its tone. Mr.. Faunce has
made the mistake of constituting a pri-
vate communication as an official one,
and publishing it. 1t is true, as Mr..
Garrett says, that a man may write
with much more freedom and Careless
ness to his friends than to the public rs
this letter sufficiently demonstrates.
WE are advised that the man Patter-
son, who was given in court as the
authority for the statement that there
was nothing in the case against Richard
Heilig, and whose word was accepted by
the district attorney and through HIM
by Judge Patterson, as proof of that
fact, was a brOthcr-ia-Ian of Hcthy.
This intensifies the popular suspicion
that the case is rotten all through
and the popular demand that
Judge Patterson shall investigate the
imposition practiced upon him. There
is no escape from the responsibility to
take such steps without exciting the
graver suspicion that there is some rea'
son why those guilty are shielded. Fol
once expressing the suspicious that suct
protection of the court was extended tt
its party friends, the editors of the In
TELL1GENCER were disbarred. But il
the court allows the case Of Richard
Heilig's release to pass unnoticed, it will
have to haul before it whole cOmmu
nifty to purge itself of the universal con
tempt cherished for the administration
of justice here.

tain stage together, then diverged in
growth and aptitude to life SO, after all,
the monkey ID only our cousin. The
speaker did not feel much repuguance
to coming from monkey, if
he came far enough from it. The ancients
said man was moulded out of the cal tn !;
but he would rather come from a monkey
than from mud puddle. Men say that
this doctrine OverthrOws tho Christian
religion. But if we accept this evolution
theory, it does not destroy the Scriptures,
nor the spirit Of God, nor the power of
tho Holy Ghost, but it puts them on the
basis of solid facts. Evolution is the very
foundation of Christianity. The word of
God is one of the most striking facts of evo-
luton. The speaker then traced out the
successive stages of tho Bible and argued
that every successive step in it towards
the coming of the Savior was strong
demonstration of tho theory of evolution.
The germ of spiritual belief in the New
Testament OpeEs up whole panorama of
life and death, Immortality was evolved
when Christ came. It is asked, if animal
life was the result of conditions, where
comes in the divine power ? But he be.
lieved that there is plain evidence of
designer in the doctrines of evolution.
The conception of tho world is of divine
origin time evolved it. God dwells in
eternity he has no need to be in a hurry.
There has never been a rest on the sub
ject of mans sinfulHess. Men don't like
to believe in total depravity. In the doc
trine of evolution VIC have a plain expla-
nation of sin. Tho speaker hold that the
passions, the gross part of mans nature, Al Q
that which he inherited from the animal life
from which he developed. But when God
breathed upon the world, these passions
were superinduced by the powers of mag
ination and conscience. Tho higher facuI- |
ties should control the lower the passions
