General Badeau Once More.

General Adam Badeau is out with another
letter concerning the controversy between
the Grant family and himself relative to
Badeaus claim for $50 900 as compensation
for literary services rendered to General
Grant. In this letter, which is addressed
Z" Once More to the American People" hc
reviews concisely the facts in the dispute,
and replying to Colonel Fred ID. Grants an
swer to Badeau's first letter he styles Col.
Grants letter as full of vulgar personal
matter" He also says: Il appreciate all
the honor and happiness that my relations
with General Grant brought into my lie
these were never interrupted until two
months before his death, and nothing shall
ever persuade me TO attempt to unsay what
| have said of him, and believe it still"
He closes the statement with enlogium of
Grant and strives to make it appear that it is
the members of the Grant family who are
defaming the dead generals memory.

TIM bell telephone decision has no
where aroused greater excitement than
in 81. Louis, where the Pan-electric sys-
tenn had obtained a strong foothold. The
Bell company, the other day, made de-
mand upon all persons using Pan-elec-
tric instruments to deliver them up for
destruction. This will be a very easy
order to obey, for those who own their
telephones ougkir ght and can do what
ever they choose with them; but il will
he harder for those who only hire, and
have therefore no right TO iun them over
to anyone else Ifthey refuse to deliver
mp these instruments, they are threatened
with a suit FOR infringement by the Bell
company. II they do deliver them up,
they are threatened by The company
which owns them. There is cheerful
reminder in all this of the alternative OF
the devil and the deep sen.

THE Free Traders propose 10 make liv-
ing cheaper and commerce greater by the
Mills bill. If that measure should be-
como the law tomorrow. the results which
they profess TO expect would not follow.
They would find that wages would fall
in the industries which their tariff bin
has attacked. but that prices would re-
main about the SINE. There is sugar ne
filming, for example. The Free Traders
attack what they call the sugar trust, and
assert that, without the protective tariff,
this trust could not exist. If they are
right the only purchaser Of raw sugar in
the country is the trust, 50 that the re-
duciion of duties ON the sugars that 90
to the reiineries would henelit only the
members of thc trust. Wh2t DO the con-
snmers think of this They have been
told by the Free Traders that they are 10
sweetcn their tea with cheap sugar.
Cheap sugar is very well. but the Mills
bill viii not give i. Sugar can be made
cheap 10 the consumer only by greatly
reducing the rate of duty on grocery
sugar. The insignificant cut made by the
Mills bill viii not, however, effect this.

From our Special Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, ID. C. April 2, 1883.
The State Chairmanship contest in Penn
sylvania is attracting good deal of atten-
ton here, for Cooper has very general rep
utation throughout the country as a Success
iul organizer. During the past six or eight
years it has been no uncommon thing for
the Chairmcn of the State Committees of
New York, Ohio, Iowa, Nebraska and other
States, 10 write to Cooper for information
concerning the Pennsylvania plan of organ
ization.
A considerable amount of speculation has
been indnl;,cd in as To what stand tile two
Pennsylvania Senators would take in the
Craftsmanship matter. Senator Cameron has
removed all doubt as 10 his position by an
nouncing unequiyocally that he is in favor
of Coopcr's reelection. The junior Sena-
tor is still in Florida and will not return to
Washington until the last of this week. and
of course no one can speak for him during
his absence. AT present each candidate

While the whole talk in Democratic circles
relates to the probable nominee of the party
for Vice President, the second place on the
ticket is only incidentally discussed among
Republicans. The reason for this is very OBJ
rious. Until il Is shown who will mead the
ticket, speculation is Idle as to the Vice Pres
ideniial nomination for the geographical
phase of the question is the all-important
one
If an eastern man heads the ticket west
ern man will be given second place; and
vice versa. In all these speculations, how
ever, Indiana has one advantage over any
other State. If the Presidential nomination
goes east, the Vice Presidency is morally GER
tain to go to Indiana Whereas, if the west
gets the first place, there will be a fight for
second place between New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut.

crying to the mouth of the mine. The lam

cursed or prayed in one discordant chorus.
As the bodies of the victims were brought
out and laid upon the ground the griefof the
spectators increased. Wives fell upon the
bodies of dead husbands and rent the air
with their agonizing cries. Some insisted on
entering the mine themselves and could be
restrained from carrying out their purpose
only with the utmost difficulty. Frequently
the relief party were driven back by smoke
and poisonous gasses. which rushed out the
opening in dense volumes. Two or three of
those who composed the succoring party
were overpowercd by the smoke and, being

Cleariield county. but the particulars, owing
to the distance of the point from any tele-
graph office. are hard 10 obtain
Miss Lizzie Eastman, young lady teach
ing school in one of the farming districts OF
Clearfield county, was found deaa in the
school honse last Tuesday evening. Her
tongue had been cut from its roots and lay
beside her body. The school had been dis
missed as usual at o'clok and the pupils
left their teacher alone in the school house.
In the right hand of the dead woman was
found a lead pencil and on the floor near her
dead body was written in her handwriting
the revolving particulars Of her death.
DYING As SHE TOLD HER TALE.
Two tramps had entered the school house
after the pupils had beeu dismissed They
oyerpowered and outraged her, afterwards
severing her tongue with knife and then
fled leaving her for dead. She recovered suf-
ficiently TO write on the school house floor
and had succeeded in giving the above par
ticnlars, with description of her assailants,
when she grew too weak TO write more, and
died before she was found.
The affair has created great sensation
here, where the young lady was well and IA
vorably known. Miss Eastman was remar-
kably beautiful girl, but of most fearless
disposition. She had often been warned
against tarrying too long after school, as the
tramps were not infrequent in the neigbbor-
hood. She always laughed at such remarks
and asserted that she was not afraid of being
molested.
