1t was Judge Caldwell who gave
ut,erance to the thought recently that
the man who had gone through life
to the age of fifty years without being
called a fanatic, was failure. He
was paying his respects to that por'

thing with a moral quality which hap
pens not to agree with their notions
and crosses their interests fanaticism,
when he used the expression. The
point is seen in difference between

tORTY-EIGHTH CONGR ESS,
House.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 23.-Mr
Weller, rising to question of privilege,
had read newspaper report of speech
made by Mr.. Balm, in which he stated that
he was informed that member who had
voted in favor of Peelle on the first roll
call, and thereafter upon consultation
with Mr.. English, ST., had left the House
without being paired lie denied that
he had been solicited by Mr.. English
on behalf of his son. Ex-Representative
English had not conversed with him
yesterday on the subject of his sons con-
tested election case. He (Weller) did
receive solicitations from members on
the Republican side to vote for Peelle.
One member had told him that he would
cover himself with glory. His absence
from the House had been in pursuance
of a telegram announcing the arrival
of his family in the city. He hoped the
Investigating committee would 90 to
work promptly and inquire into the whole
matter.
Mr.. Hart inquired by what road Mr..
Weller's family arrived.
Mr.. Weller said the gentleman would
have abundant opportunity to play the
part OF CroSs.examiner before the COM
mitttec.
Mr.. Iart-Wcre you solicited by any
OF English's friends to go and meet your
family?

NEW YORK, May 23.-The more the H.
curry into the affairs of Grant & Ward is
pushed, the more infamous become the
transactions OF this oily-tongued swind-
Ter, 1t strikes most thinking people as
being little less than wonderful how Ward
could have wormed his way into the con-
tidence of such men as Tappan, so as to get
$500, 900 out of him ON his mere word that
he had secret arrangements with the Gov
eminent which would return millions of
profits. Ward constantly laid his Gov
eminent contract scheme before the
shrowd men of Wall street, never show
ing contract or even any correspond
ence or paper which proved that he had
advanced money to contractors, and they
bit as readily as the greenest down-east
farmer bites at three-card monte or the
loop trick. If the amounts involved
were not so large the whole thing would
BIO supremacy ridiculous. business
men so sharp, 50 shrcwd, so pene-
tratihg of eye, that nobody could
get ahead of them, have been in
duced to throw their hundreds of thou
sands into his hands without asking him
to show them security for it, or seeming
to care what he did with it. The fact is
proven beyond question now, that he
never had any arrangements with Gov
ernment contractors; never received any
secret acknowledgements had anything
upon which to base the assumption that
he would invest the money of his dupes
with profit, except his own unblushing
cheek, and his own rascality. How
much or how little the younger Grants
knew about his transactions is not
known. That they could have blindly
given everything into his hands is rather
difficult to believe.
Ferdinand Ward spent the night in
Ludlow Street Jail. Reporters are not
allowed to see him to-day. William Ward,
his brother, visited the prisoner this
afternoon, He said that Ferdinand was
a statement, and said the state
ment would show clearly all the tran
sactions of his brother since he entered
the firm of Grant & Ward, and intimated
that there might be possibly some sur
prising revelations, Of which the public
had yet no knowledge. Rumors are in
circulation again to-day that orders of
arrest have been issued for Fish, Work,
Warner and others concerned in the
affairs of Grant & Ward.

thst he had $1,000 in the house and that
the balance could be made good without
difficulty. Carruthers, on Wednesday
last, asked Richardson to turn over the
amount due at once, so that the accounts
might be adjusted, but Richardson OBJ
jected on the ground that it would be
necessary first to consult with the Belt
Line & Madison County Ferry Company,
for which he was also agent. Saturday
Carruthers and the Secretary of the Belt
Line called and were handed the books,
which they examined and found to be
correct, it is said, in every particular
Later the Secretary of the Ferry Company
also called with the others and general
examination resulted in showing that
Richardson was short in his accounts to
about the amount stated. After the de-
parture of the three Richardson shot
himself through the heart in his own
room.
Gambling and drinking are said to
have led first to the disgrace of Richard
son and then to his death. He was high

things, that he shared in the tremendous

The democracy of Pennsylvania held
convention the other day and among other
things resolved as follows:
ave believe that the electoral frauds of
1867 by which S. j. Tilden and Thomas
A. Hendricks were cheated out of the offices
of president and vice president TO which
they were fairly elected, was the most deadly
blow ever aimed at our system of represen-
tative government, and the duty of driving
from power the men and party who made
that fraud triumphant is the most sacred OBJ
legation ever intrusted upon the consciences
of free men,.
This resolution was received by the faith
full with vociferous applause. Like their
brethren III other states, these Pennsylvania
bourbons evidently take delight in threshing
over old political straw. But in this in
stance the straw never contained any grain;
it was blasted before it was harvested. This
talk about Tilden and Hendricks having been
cheated by the republican party, out Of
offices to which they were elected is the
sheerest kind of nonsense. The electoral
commission was democratic scheme orig
mated i'll democratic house, for the pur-
pose of settling the disputed count, and it
was enacted by democratic votes. No doubt
it was devised for the purpose of counting
in the "old ticket" and only failed OF its de-
sign because circumstances over which the
democracy had no control compelled the 18th
man to be a republican instead of u Tilden
man as they had hoped and expected. But
the people have not forgotten, nor will they
forget the frauds of 1876. They still re-
member tho Cronin fraud in Oregon perpe-
trated in the interest of the sage of Gram
ercy Park; they have vivid recollection of
the attempted purchase of electoral votes in
South Carolina, by nephew Pelton, in be-
half of Sam j. Tilden; they have not for
gotten simil ar attempt in Florida made'for
the same purpose. Let the democracy nomi-
nate the old ticket if they choose, and fight
the campaign on the fraud issue. Ii is not
difficult task to show which party undertook
| to do the cheating in 1876. The cipher dis
patches emanating from Gramercy Park are
all that is needed to settle that matter. The
cry of rs. ]. II. 1876, Fraud" will not be suf1i-
cient to draw republican voters into the dem
| ocratic ranks.

thirds of the supervisors of the county, as
they should have, instead of the ope-third
they actually secured. There is no proba-
bility that the opposition will carry one
third of the townships in the county next
fall, and il would not be at all surprising If
Pine Grove should prove to be their lone
trophy. their ''last ditch as it were. One
notable thing in connection with the returns
is the decadence of the democracy. In only
two townships were tickets placed in the
field labeled democratic, Hamilton and Col
umbia. In most Of the towns that ancient
party hid its diminished head under the
meaningless name of union It's effort
and the effort of its organs is to combine in
one oonglomerate mass, regardless of all
political honor or principle, the various po-
litical factions and issues of the day, for
the sake of beating the republican party,
and then claiming the victory, as they did
when Yaple was elected. "Any thing to beat
Grant" used to be their slogan, and to-day
they are ready TO combine with any thing to
beat the republican party. But their efforts
will prove barren of results; the democratic
party has been weighed in the balance and
found wanting. The handwriting on the
wall is so plain that none need mistake. We
will not say the democratic party ''must CO.
for it has already gone, and must stay. For
it there is no salvation and for il no "Re-
deemer liveth.'
