By request, Professors Calvin Pierson and

i've chairs at Earlham College, with which
institution the former has been connected for
sixteen years, and the latter nearly as long. The
announcement of the fact has occasioned no

that both gentlemen promptly sent in their
designations without as much as asking why
they were desired. Following so quick on the
heels of the appointment of the new president,
Joseph John Mills, now assistant superin-

rally attributed in part to some suggestion from
him, but the real facts cannot yet be ascer-

MUNCIE, Jan. 26.-The Delaware county Re
publican central committee met at the court
house in this city, this afternoon. There was a
large attendance. Saturday, Feb. %, was fixed
as the time for holding the mass convention for
the purpose of reorganizing the central commit
tee and selecting delegates to the State and sew
eral district conventions, and for determining
the manner of nominating a county ticket. The
committee, in its meeting, to-day, recommended
that such nomination be made by a delegate con-
vention instead of by election, as it has hereto
fore been done. The probabilities are that this
recommendation will be ratified. The Republic
ans of this county are in perfect harmony and
the indications are that Delaware county will
roll up a larger Republican majority in 1884than
she has ever done at any previous election.

Plain Talk.

Some dull-witted but none the less nimble-
tongued gentlemen in this state who have
been trumpeting their influence" with
the incoming federal administration, will
find something of setback to their pre-
tensions in the letter of Governor Cleveland
which is published to-day. He most forci-
bly, reminds these superserviceable expo
nents of their own folly, that he has not let
out the work of distributing the public
offices to those who would use them for
their own personal aggrandizement, TO
build up party factions, to reward their
particular friends and to punish those
against whom they may cherish grudges.
Appointments under the next admins
tration, it may be taken for granted, will
depend less upon personal favor and more
upon ascertained fitness than ever before.
persistent importantly or self-solicited
recommendations ON behalf of candidates
will not avail much.
AT the same time the Republicans,
whose officeholders have so universally
prostituted the service of which they have
been part, and with whom the wish has
been father to the thought that Cleveland
would disappoint his party by discrim-
mating against its faithful adherents in his
appointments, will find cold comfort in his
letter. He leaves it to be unmistakably un-
dersteed that his administration is to be
Democratic; and while just civil service
reform considerations are to guide it, there
are, he recognizes many now in position
who " have forfeited all just claim to re-
tention, because thoy have used theirpaces
for party purposes in disregard of their
duty to the people, and because, instead of
being decent public servants, they have
proved themselves offensive partisans and
unscrupulous manipulators of local party
management"
The Republican party must go.
Turn the raseals out.

LANCASTER, DECEMBER $50, 1854.
TIE ReadInr,s Restiye Creditors.

The self appointed committee of So
called Reading railroad Dondholders have
fled bill in the United States court
which induces the suspicion that the COM
mittee has no very definite idea of what it
is driving at or that it is not driving at
very much; or wants to be thought busy
about something whie doing nothing, in
other words tickling committee to make
Reading security holders rest easy under
the belief that heaven and earth are being
moved in their behalf, while in fact they
are left to drift with the winds and tor
rent.
The committee only asks the court for an
additional receiver.
He would be but cold comfort to the bond
holders IL they got him. They would have
another big mouth to fill and another
captain for deck parade.
The Reading wants no more captains.
1t could do with less. One receiver would
be enough for it. Its president, Mr..
Keim, can bring 1t through in time. All
it needs is time. 1t has assets worth
more than its liabilities intrinsically
With patience they will discharge all its
debts. The Reading needs no committees;
it needs cash. 1t needs to sell its coal as
fast as it can, and therefore as low as it
can. 1t does not want to enter into any
combination. 1t needs to play a lone
hand. 1t can sell coal at two dollars ton
at tide water at profit, and ought to.
If the court will keep Reading firmly in
nc hands hoe haa, ,.Iaa al
there, the very best possible thing will be
done for the interests of creditors and
owners. So long as the road earns its
working expenses no injury is being done
to the'creditors in running it; and even if
it was not earning these, the bondholders
would hardly profit by taking possession of
it, since they would hardly do better with
it.
If they think that there is anything
wrong in the management let them repre-
sent it to the court, and if they seem to be
right, the necessary change will doubtless
be ordered. But when they ask that big
salaried officer shall be created in their in
terest, they show cloven foot. That sort
of care given to the Reading property will
not conserve it. The bondholders do not
seem to want TO conserve it. They want
to skin it.
We have no idea that Judge Butler is in
sympathy with them. The Judge knows
that the property is as safe in its present
custody as it is likely to be made; its pres
ent custody being his own. He will be
prudent enough to keep it there. If the
bondholders want to foreclose their bonds
we imagine that they will not thereby dis
pose of the receivership. All the interests of
the road will not be sacrificed to satisfy a
few. The long suffering stockholders will
continue to be protected. There is value
in the property for every dollar that has
been invested in it, and it will come out of
1t in little time. There is nothing rotten
in the concern; no gangrene spots to be
uncovered by investigation. The worst is
on the surface; and that worst shows tens
of tons of coal against every dollar of LA
bilities.

A Belle Who Has Had a Fancy For Jail

Belle Who Has Had Fancy For Jail Birds.
Miss Catharine Clubb, of Reading-that is
Miss Cluhb that was--is the only daughter of
retired merchant Of that city, who has been
successful in business and Is reputed to be
worth over Sl500O0 The family live i'm
unpretentious style The daughter has been
the head of the household since the death Of
the mother, several years ago. She is a fine
looking brunette, twenty-five years old, and
had many admirers and refused them all.
She is remembered in connection with an
adventure by which her father lost $1,000
several year ago He discovered that non
registered bonds, which were negotiable at
any place, were missing from his safe. He
was under the impression that he had been
robbed and offered reward for the thieves.
1t came out that Miss Clubb had lent them
10 an acquaintance, in whom she had the
utmost confidence, to pledge for a small loan
that he needed. This friend proved recreant
to his trust and decamped with the entire
amount All further proceedings were
dropped. Her friend died in the Joliet,
Illinois, penitentary shortly afterwards.
His name was John Miller.
Reading society is now agOg over her recent
marriage with Franklin Herdyman, of New
York. He had formerly lived in Reading, but
was away from there for several years. He is
about the same age as his bride. Twelve wears
ago he was accused ofassauiting the late Daniel
;. Francis, afterwards editor of the daily
SPIRIT Of BerES, for which ofiense he served
hNe years i'm jail, After his release he disap-
peared.
He went 10 New York, where, his friends
say,he has been leading straightforward and

appeared in Reading after a prolonged all

THOSE who have given Cleveland credit
for an unusual amount of sagacity have not
gone far wrong in their estimates. Since his
election he has been much annoyed by pres
ent-givers, and having early determined on
the non-acceptance Of gifts, he has been put
TO much trouble in the returning of the pres
ents TO his well-wishers with a letter of ex-
PLANTATION. lie has hit upon an ingenious
plan to rid himself of this annoyance All
gifts now on hand and all that arrive in the
future will be handed over to Albany char-
ties. Clarets wines or liquors of any de-
scription will probably be sent to the hospi-
tails, while many rare and peculiar articles
will decorate the tables at some church fairs
during the winter. Albany eXpressmen will
not hereafter have SO many packages to carry
to the executive mansion.

THE spirits Of the whisky men will be
much raised If recent opinion given by
Attorney General Brewster is acted upon by
Secretary McCulloch The internal revenue
tax on y, ,707 gallons of distilled spirits in
bond, amounting to over S2i, ,O00, 600, will be-
come due in the next six months The
whisky men have been avoiding payment on
large quantities of spirits by exporting it for
storage and sale abroad. But at present the
foreign market IS glutted, and it is desirable
TO await better demand. They now ask ex-
emption from tax on spirits in this country
in bond where declaration has been made of
an intention to export it. Brewster tells Me
Culloch that it is in his power to make such
regulation. 1t is easy To foresee the result of
such action. There will be more lying done
about spirits than the makeup of Cleveland's

THERE is a blacksmith named Forreyson
In Carson, Nevada, who has evolved an
invention for tightening the laborers of the
horse. 1t is new kind of road cart and is
intended to give the horse chance OCCASION
ally to ride in the cart as the driver The
cart has four high wheels and the place be-
tween them arched, so that the horse is
hitched under the wagon between the wheels,
his head projecting little beyond the front
wheels and his tail barely clearing the hind
wheels. The driver sits just over the horses
neck and the others in the wagon face out
ward on each side. The horse is so fastened
that the pulling Is distributed over his body
and does not all come on his neck and
shoulders. In this position he is greatly
protected from the sun and storm and hereby
enabled to make long journeys with less
fatigue. But this is not all. There is belly
band that lifts the horse up ON making the
descent of a hill and he rides down, series
of brakes controlling the momentum of the
vehicle When the horse attemps to run
away the crank is turned and he is lifted oil
his feet till he becomes submissive. This
stupendous myth travelled all the way from
