THE TESIES PIIILADELPIIIA, TUESDAY MOIlOTtfG, MAI.CII 30, 1880. ELECTING VESTRYMEN. PUBLISHED EVERY DAY IN THE YEAR brutes that perish is seemly and honorable. They trap fur b2aring animals and sell the skins and then remain drunk until their cash is gone and their credit exhausted. For food they depend mainly upon fish, catching what they want from day to day and never dreaming of laying in a store in advance of their immediate needs.

A schooner calling at St Lawrence Island in September, 1S79, found tho whole population of three settlements dead. The ice had packed near the shore and made fishing impossible. So the peoplo died of starvation. Agriculture seems to be confined to a farming region comprising twelve acres on Wooded Island ten acres of which is put down in doubtful oats and wo acres in watery potatoes. Tho coal mines of the country, about which a good deal has been said, are no longer worked.

The coal is so poor that it actually costs more than coal imported from the United States. Tho timber is stunted and gnarled and does not pay the cost of felling and sawing. Fishing alone is profitable, bu even on fishing the profit is very small. In point ot only industry that really thrived in Alaska is the contraband trade in arms and rum. From present appearances tho 20,000 savages are in a fair way to become inflamed by the latter and, with tho former, make a clean sweep of the 23G white men and so settle the territorial matter definitely.

ptrtiing on some style and Opening a permanent prize onion show right af the capital of the nation. Something ought to be done for the Commissioner, without any kind of donbt. It must be evident that the gwat agricultural Industry of the country is disastrously got back by the fact that the chief of the Agricultural Bureau has so Jittlo pay. The disparity between tho pay of tho President and that of the Commissioner is vory great, and as long as this ancomfurtublo differ once remains it will doubtless ba out of the question for the Agricultural Bureau to do any more than it now does. It is certainly giving the country three thousand dollars' worth of fun every year, and is well worth the salary paid while the present Commissioner remains in office.

As the present administration, however, has but a fow months more to run, and as the next one is not at all likely to retain Le Due, it will probabiy not occur to Congress to insist upon a lot of immense buildings and big salaries and things of that sort, which a new official wouldn't have tho slightest idea what to do with. Some day, when this couutry has grown to tho proper size, General Lo Due may come in bandy; his usefulness is limited at present because tho country is in its infancy and thare is nothing big enough to draw the wholo of his genius into action. The kkpobts of the Republican State Convention of Texas, as printed in tho local newspapers, leave no room to doubt that tho friends of Grant had absolute control of the convention and had two hundred and fifty out of the four hundred votes. The delegation to Chicago is Tor Grant almost unanimously, and will present Ex Governor Davis for tho Vice Presidency, without tho slightust hope that he will be accepted. Our esteemed contemporary, tho New York World, has a more thau ordinarily comic correspondent at Washington.

On Sunday this humorous man sent word to his newspaper that yesterday's olection to the Pennsylvania State Convention of delegates from Beaver county is regarded here as demolishing Mr. Tildnn's chances at tho convention beyond all hope." This doesn't seem funny at first reading, but when one reflects that the three delegates from Beaver county aro Tilden men, and that they probably won't upset much of anything any way, it looks a little amusing. If wo aro going to beat Tilden wo must have something a trifle more powerful than the three delegates from Beaver who are not against him. The Tilden men who wero not elected delegates to tho State Convention from Fayette county have concluded to carry a contest into the convention. Nine reasons aro given for this.

It begins to look as if tlio convention will have a contest for about overy seat. THE GENEVA AWARD. Senator Thnrman Taken lil in the Midst ol ilie lirniion. Washington, March 29. After the usual routine bnsincss the Senate decided to proceed with the calendar, and the bill introduced by Mr.

Kernan to provide for an international exhibition on the anniversary of the recognition of American independence, in 1383, in New York city, was discussed. Mr. Tliurman said he would bo glad to see such an exhibition and sco it succeed, but he thought this not a wisely conceived bill. In his judgment, tho only way to make such an affair successful was to appoint a very few men, the best men available for the purpose, and pay them a good salary to enablo them to devote their whole time to it. Mr.

Kernan said the bill had been very carefully drawn. After further discussion the morning hour expired and the bill went over, and the Geneva award bill was taken np. Mr. Tliurman moved to amend the substitute proposed by Mr. Hoar by striking out the clauso providing that the Court of Commissiouers shall consider and allow as a second class claims for the payment of premiums for war risks.

Ho said war premiums were expressly excluded by tho Geneva tribunal not by implication, but expressly. Not only that, but they wero not insisted npon by our government. Not a penny was ever awarded to us in respect of enhanced premiums. He wanted the Senate to vote if he could get it to do so npon t)! distinct proposition. Perhaps the best mode or procedure would be to decido by elimination what the wished to do.

A long discussion ensued between Mr. Tliurman and Mr. Blaine The latter claimed that according to the theory of tho Senator from Ohio the government said to the insurance companies: "You not only havo a chance of largo profits, but the United Stales Government is going to collect and pay into your coders all tho losses on your risks. Wherever there is a vessel lost on which you pay out somo money wo will stand by ymi and pay it back out of the award." Mr. Blaine went on to say that the doctrine of subrogation had been demolished by the argument of tho Senator from Massachusetts (Mr.

Hoar). He would not go into tho legal argument lest hu should make as many mistakes as tho Senator from Ohio had done in regard to navigation, but ho thought that Senator was attempting to apply tho legal principles, which had no more application to the case than they had to the kingdom of heaven, whose laws of justice they offended. Mr. TilUHMAN. Tho Senator ha3 doubtless heard of such a thing as the right of subrogation.

Mr. Blaink. Yes, and I heard it demolished by the Senator from Massachusetts. Mr. Thukman.

The Senator did not hear it demolished. When the Senator comes to be a judgo he will learn to hear both sides of a question. Mr. Thnrman here stopped, raised bis hand to his forehead, as if in pain, and seemed about to fall. Several Senators went to his assistance, but alter bathing bis head with the water contained in the tumbler on his desk he walked into tbo cloak room, leaning on the arm of Assistant Ser geant at Arms Christie.

The Geneva award bill was then laid aside and Mr. Mcl'hcrson spoke on tbe. joint resolution for a Board of Survey ou the double turroted monitors. DR. KING'S DISPUTED WILL.

THE THEATRES LAST NIGHT. "My Partner Tbe lnngller nt Uns Reel men" Other Thing, New and Oltl. The Chestnut enters upon a new phase in its career under most promising auspices. The open inp; play of tho star and combination season "My Partner" was happily chosen. It possesses elements of popularity in au unusual degree, and tho people who had seen it joined with those who had not last night to fill the theatre.

The upper parts of tho house wero packed and below there were very few vacant seats, while the enthusiasm of the audience was proportionate to iu size, No good acting and no scenic effect was without its mead of applause, and the performance over tlio fell upon a well satisfied assemblage of theatre goers. My Partner" has been played here before, and therefore demands no analysis of its motive or plot at this time. It suffices to say that it has all of the best characteristics of Bartley Campbell's dramatic journeywork and very few of its fault. There is an original theme, or, rather, an original variation of an old theme, and it is set in an interesting story. Thero aro several well drawn characters and the dramatic embellishment, althongh crude at times, in throughout strong, intelligent and intelligible.

There are some scenes so intensely wrought as to suggest the expressive phrase of "piling on tbo agony," but none that are elaborated to a painful dogree of thinness. Tho humor is genuine, if sometimes coarse; Vie pathos is natural, if sometimes overburdened with words which vainly seek the form of poetry. It is so good a play, iu fact, that in this day of bail plays ono feels like saying grace over it and asking no questions. The fooling is that if Mr. Campbell can do so well ho is likely to do butter.

As to the merits of last night's performance we may remark that it was better in several respects than that at the Park last wintty. Iu particular, the appearance of Miss Dora Gold tbwaite in the cast is a sourco of pleasure Her delineation of the character of Mary Jlrarulon, "who had no mother to guide her," was forceful and tender, and if too lachrymose, that in tlio fault of the dramatist, who allows no sunshine to fall upon the path of this wayward girl. Mr. Aldrich's Maunders and Mr. Crisp's Ned Sm gletnn aro well matched, yet well contrasted characters, calling for no new criticism.

Mr. Moidatiut's Major JlriU, a most comical portrait, shows an improvement in finish, and, although in some danger of too much elaboration in process of timo, continues to be a character to obtain which it was worth whilo to write this play. Parsloe's Chinaman was as funny as ever, and apparently new to many in the audi enue. Tho other parts were generally well played, although some of tho work was of a common placo description. Tho first act is mounted very handsomely, and the sconio arrangements generally are good.

My Partner" will be played at the Chestnut all tho week. ENGLISH OPEP.A AT THE WALNUT. Emma Abbott, with her English opara troupe, was groeted by an overflowing audience at the Walnut Street Theatre last evening. The opera chosen for tho opening night was Tho Daughter of the Regiment," ono of the half dozen of Honi zelti's sixty or seventy operas that hold a permanent place in the repertory. Slight as it is in dramatic motive, and equally slight in musical construction, its many attractivo melodies are sufficient to secure for La Figlia" continued popularity.

Nor is this undeserved. Tho music is not great, but thero is geuuino spirit in "Ciascun lo dice," and tho "Salut a la France" is one of those few immortal tunes that were not born to die. Miss Abbott, however, seems to distrust the sufiiciency of Donizetti's work to make an evening's entertainment. As presented last night, the onnra was curiously cnt and pieced, and the interpolations were nearly as numerous as the original airs. It would havo surprised Donizetti to hear Snlptein sing Schumann's declamatory "Two Grenadiers," though Mr.

Eyse gained more applause by this than by anything else that ho sang, and it would havo astonished him still more to hear Tho Last Eose of Summer" as an introduction to the music lesson, an interpolation that was neither dramatically nor musically appropriate. And Miss Abbott scarcely needed to introduce a "show picco" of this sort, for sho sang tbo music of Marie very well and her acting, especially in the closing see.no of the first act, was notably spirited and expressive. Mr. Kyso's performance of Sulpizio was commondably careful, but thero is not much more to be said for it musically, and hi comedy business is rather heavy, though it seemed to be enjoyed by tho audience Mr. Tom Karl sustained tbo tenor role, which does not call for any great oxertion nnd thero was a fair chorus, that gave one or two of tbe ensembles with good cft'oct.

Paul and Virginia" will bo sung to night. VARIETY AT THE ARCH. A confiding public was largely represented at the Arch Street Theatre last evening, and, sad to say, its conndouce was misplaced. The entertainment presented by Hydo and Bellman's Combination, which hails from Brooklyn, is of very emaciated fibre and in the middlo of tho evening became quito threadbare. If we must havo variety shows, and cortaiuly they have their placo in the round of popular amusements, wo have a right to ask that they shall bo clean and amusing.

This ono is clean, but far from amusing, and it is without the faintest trace of novelty. Tho redeeming features are the black face business of Hilly Barry, which still has a comic flavor, and the singing of Lucy Adams, and thero arc several good laughs in Muldoon's Picnic," a sketch after the Mulligan order, with which the entertainment is brought to an end. FIFTIETH PERFORMANCE OP TUB 1'IHATES." Last evening the Broad Street Theatre was well filled and "The Pirates of Penzance" ro ceived its fiftieth consecutive representation. The great comic opera was greeted with much cuthusiasm, whilo tho laughter was hearty and constant. Tbo interpretation was, in all respects, a capital ono, Mr.

Seymour as General Stanley, Mr. Macrery as Frederic, Mr. Cook as Edward, Miss Keber as Mabel and Miss McFad den as Jiuth being particularly tine. Mr. Cook provoked great merriment in tho ludicrous Policeman's Chorus." Tho last performances of "Tlio Pirates'" nre announced.

It will bo followed by a grand revival of M. S. Pinafore," the original Knglish version of which will bo given, with the famous London orchestration, stage business aud costumes. THE OTHER THEATRES. Mardo," a sensational drama of a familiar aud popular pattern, was played at the New National Theatre last night for tho first time.

It served to introduce Mr. frank I. Fray no iu new phases of bis well known hunter, wild beast slayer and crack shot. Mr. Frayno was in good form and reaped a rich harvest of applause as made is way through live arts and much blood, from an old inn ou the American scaeoast to the palace ot the (J rand Duke Alexis in St.

Petersburg. A royal lion was a striking figuro in the performance and thero was some acceptable acting by Mr. (Jeorge O. Morris and Miss Blanche Do Bar. At the Museum Miss Lillie llinton, with a good support, appeared in a new drama, of Philadelphia nativity, called "The Left Hand." The play was fairly played nnd well received, but it is hardly fair to pass decisive judgment upon it at this timo.

"Captain Cliarlotto" began its second week at the North proud without many encouraging symptoms. At tho Eleventh Street Opora House an unusually good bill was presented before a delighted audience. After this week Mr. ('arucr)ss will take his minstrels on their spring tour. "Colouel Sellers" win played at tho Park by Mr.

John T. lfaymond and his company aud iu some respects it has novcr been better played iu this city. The appearance of tbe title character was a source of merriment iu every situation nnd tho audience could not get enough of it. The other leading parts wero well enacted by Miss Weaver, Mr. (leorgo Holland and Mr.

Stuart, but "Colonel Sellers" is pro ouiinently a one part piny. A Divided DeJegnllon from F.rle. Special lilspateli lo Tim TiMisa. Ehik, March 21).

K. (nit, LI). interesting family; nor can the Eict be bidden that the baggage was a sad flirty up to all the tricks on the feminine cards. Doubtless sho held that her one sixty eeventh interest in the ex Khedive wasot worth keeping if she could trade it off for full proprietorship iu somebody else and also, doubtless, her rating in the establishment as a slave made her come in for a good many snubs from the ladies who rated as wives and ranked her. That she only waited for an opportunity to run up the rebel flag and declare her independence is sufficiently evident from the fact that this is precisely what sho did the moment that the opportunity came.

Across the way from the villa in which tho liberally married Ismail resided, there was another villa in which lived a good looking young man. Well, it was the old story. Every day Nasik Missak made eyes at the young man out of a second story window. The young man blew kisses off the tips of his fingers every day and all day long. And then, one fine morning recently, there was a gap in the hedge of orange trees surrounding the cx Khcdive's villa; and in a little while it was known that through this gap Nasik Missak had departed and would be known to tho family of Ismail no more.

The attentions of the handsome young man across the way wero strictly honorable, and be straightway betook himself with his blushing little Eyptian to the Mayor and Corporation of Rcsina and applied for the necessary legal permission to make hor is bride. And here it is that Nasik Missak has brought confusion upon the government of sunny Italy. The Italian law demands that all strangers wishing to marry mast produce a certificate from the authorities of their native country that no impediment exists to their marriage. But Nasik Missak was sold in the slave market at Cairo when she was a mere baby and no one knows to whom application for the necessary certificate should be made I The little maiden is under the impression that she is a Circassian but Cireassia is a biggish bit of country and to hunt along both sides of the Caucasus for the parents of this young person would require a good deal of time, and might not result in finding them, after all. So the matter has been referred up from the Town Council of licsina to the National Government, and the Nasik Missak Question is in a fair way to get tangled up with the Eastern Question and rise to a matter of European importance.

Meantime, Nasik Missak no longer is a member of the establishment of tho cx Khedive who seems to have accepted the situation with Oriental equanimity nor yet has she conquered independence by means of matrimony. In point of fact her position is a littlo peculiar. But it is all for love that the world is well lost to Nasik Missak and she is as merry ns an Egyptian grig. A Bankrupt Ijatv Needed. The history of our national legislation on the subject of bankruptcy has not been creditable, and it has created strong prejudices against what is commonly understood by a bankrupt law.

Hitherto bankrupt laws have been passed only when there was universal prostration in business and relief was an absolute necessity to the debtor classes. They were framed almost exclusively in the interest of debtors and failed to afford just protection to creditors. In a word, our bankrupt laws of the past were made disreputable by the facilities they offered dishonest debtors to defraud their creditors, and by the fearful extent to which they were prostituted to that end. The present is an auspicious time for tho enactment of a judicious and just bankrupt law, and all business circles agree that it is a necessity rather for the protection of creditors than for tho relief of debtors. Business is now reasonably prosperous and insolvency is rare; but failures aro more or less common even when industry and trade are most successful, and a judicious bankrupt law would be a blessing to creditors and a just relief to honest debtors.

It is a special necessity for all business interests which reach out into tho various States and Territories, as it gives uniformity of laws for the adjustment of accounts in cases of failure. No two States have the same laws for the collection of debts or for tho settlement of the estates of insolvents, and but few if any have bankrupt laws by which the general interests of the creditors can be enforced against those who resist equitable distribution in the hope of compelling tho payment of their claims in full, as a choice between realizing something or nothing. Under existing laws in Pennsylvania, and in most of the other States, creditors can give any preference to a bona fide debt, and there is no equitable protection to creditors. It is the common law of the rural districts when a failure occurs, to give preferring judgments to home creditors, nnd the property of city merchants and manufacturers is taken in hasty execution to pay the neighbors of the bankrupt. The same common law is accepted in all States as applying to the distant creditors of other States, and there is no protection, no assurance of equity, to the creditors who live in the cities or in other Commonwealths.

Under all national bankrupt laws, the preference of any one creditor was declared a fraud, and they put all claimants upon equal and just footing; but the repeal of the national law revised the various and conflicting State statutes relating to insolvency, nnd there is now no assurance to distant creditors that, in case of failure, their goods will not be sold to pay the debts in full of the neighbors of the bankrupt. The chief object of a national bankrupt law should be to maintain entirely just relations between nil debtors and creditors; to make nu equitable distribution of the estates of bankrupts; to impose the severest restraints upon fraudulent bankruptcy, and to enable upright but unfortunate men to renew the battle of life hopefully. The liquidation of debts Ivy a discharge iu bankruptcy dois not morally discharge a just debt, and the TiOnest debtor will pay such claims in full when able to do so, as coiitcientiously as if yet legally liable, while dishonest debtors will never pay cither with or without bankrupt laws, save when caught in their villainy nnd compelled to just. It is tho honest clusses of both debtor and creditors which need a carefully prepared bankrupt law, and there should be cntiro unanimity of public sentiment in favor of such a measure. It is probable that both sides in Congress nrn too busy just now in President making ta give this subject the attention it so clearly demands; but it would lie a welcome concession to tho legitimate duties of if a few nblo and honest men of all parties would unite to framo nnd pass a judicious national bankrupt law.

i After all, it seems that Judge 8. Newton Pettis isn't going to get a place very agreeable to him in the Associate Judgeship of New Mexico. The administration has got to do better than this, far until Judge S. Newton l'ottls and Kx Congrossinnn John M. Thompson are comfortably fixed this government may contemplate itself as an unequivocal failure.

That communication which Commissioner Lo Due sent to Congress a month or bo ago, recounting some of his needs, being distributed throughout tlio country as a campaign document, it isn't everybody that will be glad to get hold of a copy of this document, but it is not cay to see how anyone Is going to escape. Sinco he has quarreled with and gut rid of about tho only awful men In his department the Commissioner finds ha needs a great many things. There Is not, in fact, ono thing about the present department that suits Lo Due, and ho is particularly out of patlcnco iylth tlio slao of tho salaries, which ho compares with those recoived in sol uc of tho other department to show that they aro tho smallest of any jiuiil.

Tiamarthr'a S'litccssfiil os the 1'aee nt the Belurns. Yesterday being Easter Monday vestry elections were heW in all the Episcopal churches. In most instances the elections passed off quietly, a light vote being polled. At St.

Timothy's Church, Eighth and Kccd streets, the contest was of unusual interest. At tho election a year ago it was claimed that illegal votes were accepted by tho judges, aud the defeated party, representing the Low Church element, took the matter info court and sought an injunction against the de facto vestry. Two weeks ago the court directed that the judges to hold tho election of last evening should conduct it in accordance with the charter and by laws of the corporation, and should report to the court on or before the second day of Aprik the list of votes and voters. Between the hours of seven and nine o'clock last evening the poll was open in the. Sunday school room of the church.

J. llonry Williams, William Wylie and Kob ort H. Beatty examined the ballots aud decided upon the eligibility of each gentleman proffering a ballot. Tlio ticket for vestrymen of those iu favor of continuing the present services bore the following names: John M. Aah, Thomas Duncalfe, C.

E. Larzelere, llonry Osborne, Thomas O'Donnell, F. O. Odenbehiier, (1. l.

Huberts, John Kohb, Walter Scott, II. C. Stand ley, James II. Way and Clark Wylie. The following was the ticket proposed by those resisting the innovations William Kaynor, Henry Ken ney, Thomas Prico, Robert Briggs, Henry C.

Shipley, Charles C. Smith, Charles Smith, Benjamin F. Harvey, Hugh Cunningham, William Headlem, William C. Bcsselievre and Thomas W. Brooks.

Twenty seven votes iu all were cast, of which the first mentioned ticket received eighteen, the opposition ticket received five votes, and four votes, consisting of those offered by Messrs. Briggs, Headlem, Bcsselievre and Alfred Smith, were thrown out on the ground of ineligibility. Tho Low Churchmen hold that eleven ballots recoived by tho judges in favor ot the ticket headed by John M. Ash wero fraudulent, tbe voters being ineligible because of not having paid pew rent for two years consecutively. Mr.

Briggs and others of like opinion wero provided with protests, signed by five persons of admitted eligibility, and a protest was presented and pinned to each ballot in tho case of the disputed eleven admitted and the four thrown out. As the matter stands, both sides claim tlio victory and profess a belief that the court will decido in thuir favor. IMPORTANT CATHOLIC NEWS'. Call for a Provincial Couiicil The rinisli liiff of Hie Cathedral. Archbishop Wood has just mado two important announcements, one relative to the Cathedral, the other to his whole ecclesiastical jurisdiction.

His Grace desires to have the Cathedral edifice perfected, according to Its original design, before his death, and expresses tho hope that tbe Catholics of Philadelphia will co operate with him in the work. Among the improvements in contemplation are tho erection of a handsome marble altar in lieu of the present, wooden one, the placing of statues of Saints Peter and Taul in the vacant niches on either side of the main entrance and tho carrying up to a greater height of the four short towers around tho donio. Tho Archbishop announces also that the Provincial Council, which, on account of his ill health, has been deferred from time to timo, will be held in this city, beginning ou tho fourth Sunday after Easter. It is the first of its kind held iu this ecclesiastical province, which comprises the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and tho suffragan dioceses of Allegheny, Eric, Harris burg, Pittsburg and Scranton. This province was constituted ou March 15, 1S75, when Bishop Wood was raised to the rank of Archbishop by Pope Tins IX.

The council will make rules for tho better regulation of the dioceses under its jurisdiction and pass upon such weighty questions as may be considered an nid or a bar to religion and morals. Tho reasons for the calling ofthecounc.il for tho fourth Sunday after Easter, April 25, have not been made public, but it has been surmised that tbo lato circular of his tiracc relative to secret societies will bo emphasized by a resolution of the council. The National Convention of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, ono of the orders falling under Archbishop Wood's ban, is to be held in this city on May 11, a lortnight alter tbe day announced for the first day of the Provincial Council. WOMEN AS EVANGELISTS. DWriiawing Hie ((ucslioai Whether They Khoiild Ue ilucournsred to I'reach.

At the quarterly meeting of tho Ministerial Union, held yesterday, the 'question, "Should Christian women be encouraged in public evangelistic work?" was discussed. liev. Dr. J. Wheaton Smith said that while he was very slow to recognize any evangelistic leadership, male or female, unloss it be the leadership of Christ'sown ministry, the more closely evangelistic work is carried on within tbe limitsof thoChurch organization and the Christian miuistry the better.

He claimed there is no authority in the Divine law for a woman to preach aud gave as his belief that the ministry of Christ is masculiire, and that the leadership implied in tho oihee of the miuistry should bo assumed by man, and that while woman had her place, as inspiring or propelling power, man was the proper medium through which he power should bo made manifest, claiming that women were limited iu their usefulness when placed on the rostrum. Kev. H. C. McCook claimed that the qnestion should be referred to the word of God, and thought the Lord would not havo ignored women if He bail intended she should have a place in the apostolic work but, for all this, he believed the evangelistic work could be performed by woman, aud quoted the record of the day of the high triumph of the Hebrews when a woman sang, preached and prophesied.

Kuv. James Morrow referred to woman's work among women in India, and cited the case of Mrs. hi tall Smith as one who had a special power for this work, ltev. II. L.

Way land believed that tho best evidence to be had of the calling by God of any oue to the ministry is that they go and do it. Another View or the Tlonroe Ooetrlue. AVasiiin gto.n', March 29.

Inquiries made in ollleiul uircles to day regarding the allegation that certain American ships of war are engaged in making Bounding nnd surveys iu the vicinity of tlio Lagoon of Chiriqol elicited replies to the effect that no American vessels have been ordered to make survey.

The disputed election for vestrymen in a down town church is not very edifying, hut it is gratifying to know that the dispute will he settled quietly, if not amicably, in court, and that the contending parties did not Unci it necessary to re sort to blows, in the manner of the Oak Alley brethren in Pittsburg.

The Pittsburg ease recalls the religious wars we read about in the good old times, when men proved their doctrine orthodox by apostolic blows and knocks, Inst it must be owned that tho policeman's club is a new emblem of ecclesiastical Notiom' will be surprised to learu of the acquittal of Shissler, who lias been on trial for the murder of George A. Trucnuiu. There was no question that Shissler caused True man's death, or that it was the result of iuten tio.ial violence. Uut the element of premeditation was not shown, and a verdict of murder was not expected. There has been a general belief, however, that Shissler would not be convicted in any case, and the confidence of his friends appears to have been based upon other considerations than that of the evidence or lack of evidence against him.

Whatever these considerations were, they seem to have been sufficient. Mb. view of the Geneva award is characteristic of that comprehensive statesman. Senator Thnrman had been arguing upon the apparently sound basis of law and fact, that as the war premiums had been expressly excluded by the Geneva tribunal this government could not recognize such claims in the distribution of the award. Senator P.laine did not think it worth while to reply to these arguments.

The Senator, lie said, was "attempting to apply legal principles," which, he thought, "bad no more application to the case than they had to the kingdom of heaven." It may be that legal principles are unrecognized in the kingdom of heaven, but the principles of right and honesty certainly have some recognition in that kingdom, and if it be true that righteousness ex alteth a nation," this nation will not be exalted but debased if the game of grab so long contemplated in Congress tie ever consummated. Ik the intervals of his wrestle with the electric light, Mr. Edison finds time to chip off numerous minor inventions, any one of which should be sufiiciant to revolutionize the world, if the world knew what was good for it. Mr. Edison's latest discovery is a method by which, it is announced, lie can extract a greater amount of gold from the rejected residuum or tailings' of auriferous quartz or sand than is obtained by the present processes from the virgin rocks." In other words, after the ore, crushed and triturated in the usual manner, has yielded its average of twenty to forty dollars a ton, Mr.

Edison takes the refuse and extracts from it at the merely nominal cost of five dollars all the way from 80 to $730, or even a ton. It is well remarked by tho New York Herald, from which the account of this wonderful discovery is derived, that the wealth which is likely to result is beyond compulation." Mr. Edison would seem, indeed, to have realized the dream of the alchemists and to have found the philosopher's stone. It is perhaps unnecessary to add that before allowing his discovery to lie known Iwyoml the small circle of his confidential associates," the "Edison Ore Milling Company'1 was formed, "Mr. Edison himself holding a place in the Hoard of Directors." The confidential associates have not yet placed their stuck upon the market, but it is probablo that a few shares may shortly be purchased, at an advance, if any reader of Tjik Tijiks desires to go iir.

TilLliE seems to lie a little misunderstanding at present in the Turkish Cabinet, and, as a matter of course, its basis is financial. The Grand Vizier, who has glimmerings of common sense and who knows that something must be done to cut down government expenses now that the income ol the government has sunk to next to nothing, lias suggested a reduction of the various jiensions and of tho Sultan's civil list. Naturally, this practical suggestion has met with very stubborn resistance. The other members ui the Miulsiry are willing enough to cisonomize in the ab struct, but economy in tho concrete, that takes money out of their own pockets, is a good deal more than they can placidly stomach. The fact of the matter is that thtse unlucky Mussulmans will not accept the inevitable.

Ever since tho war with Knssia ended the most abject poverty lias been the portion of Turkey. There is little money to ho collected by the tax gatherers at home, nnd there is no money at all to be obtained abroad. Even the English, always prompt to lend 'on risky security fur a high rate of interest, have lieeii taught by bitter experience in Turks" nnd Egypt that the most extravagant interest for a few years does not pay for total loss of principal. P.ut tho Kultan nnd his advisers cannot get used to this uncomfortable state of affairs nnd steadily refuse to lielicvo that they arc not as well supplied with money ns they were in the halcyon time when loans could be placed as fast ns offered on the London market. Each Minister of Finance, nnd they are moved in and out of ollico very rapidly, takes for his motto After mo, the deluge Hut none of them seems to recognize the fact that the deluge has already come.

Tllltlatfl Captain (leorge V. Lailcy, of the Kevenue Marine Serviin, spent the whole; of the summer of in Alaska in collecting materials for an exhaustive report upon that dcjtolato region that certain advanced statesmen now advise shall be erected into a Territory. Captain IhiUey's report is published, nnd the tacts which it sets forth put upon the Territorial swindle a decided stopper. All told, the white population of Alaska numbers souls; and ol them 21!) aro American. The half breeds nnmlier anil of pure savages, of one sort or another Indian, Aleuts nnd LNiiniiimux there are ulioiil These, our fellow citizens of the Kreat Iic.pub lic, lead life compared to which that of the The Bribery Defendants Disappear.

If there is any vindictiveness lingering with those who have been activo in the prosecution of Messrs. Kemble, Salter, Uumberger, Crawford and Petroff for corrupt solicitation, it must have been specially gratified at the failure of the defendants to appear before Judge Pearson yesterday for sentence. Had malice been allowed to choose the measure of punishment, it could not have dictated a severer method of multiplying atonements than to have the defendants disanpearand forfeit their recognizances. It is one of the common mistakes that weakness commits in haste and repents ever after. It is likely to distemper the manifestly generous disposition of the prosecution and court towards the parties, while it cannot in any degree strengthen the probabilities of mitigation of punishment.

The law is mandatory in imposing the penalty of fine and imprisonment for the offense of which they have been convicted, and the Board of Pardons have refused to open the way fcr Executive clemency until tho judgment of the law shall have been reached. In the protest and argument against tho solicited pardons, the prosecution exhibited 'ca absence of vindictiveness that clearly indicated a willingness to relieve the defendants from prolonged imprisonment, and that would probably have been content with prompt relief from imprisonment on submission to the law and the court and payment of line. Under such circumstances there was everything in reason, as well as everything in the line ot respect for law, to invite the defendants to fulfill their plighted and bonded faith by appearing before Judge Pearson yesterday. By choosing to do otherwise, they have made choice of indefinite vol un tary imprisonment outside of prison, rather than temporary imprisonment inside of prison, with no likelihood of escaping the last by accepting the first, A requisi tion for the return of the defendants will, of necessity, follow them into any State of the Union, and only by seeking the cheerless soli tude of foreign lands can the jurisdiction of the law be evaded. Of all the penalties within the choice of these defendants, the penalty of the law at home is the least to be dreaded.

The same positive public sentiment that demanded the enforcement of the law to judgment, fully appreciates the circumstances which strongly pleaded for mitigation of pnn ishment when it falls upon the few for the offenses of many. This was evident from the forbearance of the Court after conviction, and from the attitude of the prosecution at the close of the late trials and before the Board of Pardons; and it is a sentiment that should not be turned to vengeance by defiance of the law. The one of the defendants who first voluntarily returns to the jurisdiction of the court will display the highest measure of wisdom, nnd command the largest degree of public respect for his owdience to authority. The Deluded Black Man. The regulation colored man from the South now turns up with the periodical precision of that "intimate political and near personal friend of Grant," to tell how tho whites of the South do littlo or nothing else than gun for the blacks and maim or kill them as a matter of daily amusement.

The colored brother is generally found loitering about in congenial idleness wailing for something to turn up, and he is utilized as a martyr or hero before the Exodus committee of the Senate. It is somewhat remarkablo that these regulation sable witnesses arc seldom heard of after they testify or furnish the materials for a newspaper article in a modern organ, unless as starvelings seeking alms from those who don't make politics a trade. Whenever the story is obtained from the hopeful colored refugee, his usefulness is ended with those who tempt him to falsehood with the promise of a free home, plenty to cat anil nothing to do, and ho is turned loose to beg, steal or work to get his bread. As a rule, tho friends of the black man who are ever ready to work up a sensational story in his name, regard their philanthropic duties as at nn end when they make such a martyr of him in print that he can't recognize himself, and they leave to others the duty of providing him with food, raiment or lalmr. Thousands of colored men who were much more comfortable in tho South than tlicy'ean ever lie in the Koith, even under the most favorable circumstances, have been deluded from their homes nnd crowded into Kansas and Indiana, where they would have perished in large numbers hut for the generous contributions of Bineerely humane people who have had no part in enticing them from plenty to want The recent official publication of tho contributions fur the relief of the colored sufferers in Kansas shows that the politicians of New England who have been persistent in their clamor for the exodus, didn't contribute nn average of a penny each to feed their starving victims.

It is no longer a disputed projiosition in intelligent circles that one of the most atrocious and heartless crimes perpetrated against the colored race was the systematic organization of the exodus by the systematic falsehood of political adventurers, and the embellished tales of colored idlers, given out by the same clnss of reckless partisans, have ceased to lie regarded in any other light than ns the regulation Louisiana lying. When there lire disturbances and murder in any Southern State the news ill get to tho world long before a fugitive black man gets to Washington to tell it. The colored nice has suffered much both in slavery and freedom, but their most heartless foe to day is the political adventurer who lives by the distress he upon t'ue liaphwi people lie pretends to servo. Tlio Nafik Missak Question.

There has heen troublo in Miss Leggett's homo for business women in New York.

Cameron's IJarrisburg Telegraph officially states that everybody is anxious to get rid of Congress." For Rn organ tbo ITarrisburg pajier has como perilously near tho fact. Congress is even anxious to get rid of itself. We peel it rathor a public duty to present the marrying score now and then of that particular bigamist, Clarence E. Davis, now whiling away his time iu tho Chicago jail. His wives are turning up with such dizzy rapidity that the tally must be inado up often and promptly or there is danger that the record will get demoralized.

The most recent reports brought tho number of tnis man's wives up to twenty three, and even if no other should bo heard from it is corw fidently believed that Davis is entitled to tho championship of the world. A somewhat illustrious character by thonamo of Grant seems to have got lost somewhere in Texas. It can't bo possible that he is no longer receiving receptions."

Mrs.

Caroline Earle Johnson King and her daughter. Miss Tunis, were presentat yesterday's hearing of the contest over the wills of the lato Mudical Inspector William M. King. The thrico widowed Mrs. King is an attractive woman of forty years.

Sho dressed in dnop mourning. She was invited to the witness chair by Counselor McMurtric to testify to hcrknowledge of tho will of February 3, which she wrote at the dictation of Wayne Sohicr, tho Boston lawyer. "My husband," she said, "sent for Mr. Solder, and ho caino in the nflernoon and I took him to Mr, King. He told Mr.

Sohicr lie wanted to consult him about a will, and said to mo, Minnie, you loave tlio Of course I left tho room, and after awhile Mr. Solder came to me and dictated the will as I wrote it. Mr. Sohier afterwards took the will and read it to Mr. King, and when he came to a portion which said, I bequeath to my wife my household my husband said, 'No, I hat won't do; you must particularize the plate, Then Mr.

Sohicr asked him if that was satisfactory, and he replied that it was, Shortly afterwards, a day or two, perhaps, tr. King called me to bis bedside and said to me, 1 Minnie, you may havo felt hurt about my not signinf; the will the other day, but I did not want Dr. Dean and Mr. llaugh nnd others to know I had changed my mind. I have determined to leave you my property.

There are people who say they are my friends, but In sickness who would sit up night after night with me but you? No one Is more en tilled to it than He then asked me to get the will and he would try and sign it. 1 did so and he signed it there and said he would have it attested another time," She then recited the circumstances of the attestation of tho document by James E. Hays, substantially as that witness related them. Shown another document she identified it as a will made by Dr. King in Norfolk, several years ago.

It made almost the same disposition of his property as that of February 3 last. On cross examiuation in regard to the will of Decembsr 1, 1879, Mrs. King said her husband had told her some time about Christmas that he did not think he had done right by her and asked her what she thought would bo proper. She replied that she did not want to tell him what to do, but that sho would leave it to his own sense of justico and goodness of heart. Subsequently he asked her to send for Gordon Dexter.

The will written by the widow was signed after 12 o'clock on the 25th of January, 18S0. No one was present with Dr. King but herself. He had not signed it beforo because ho did not know whether Mr. Gordon would accept the trust.

Sho had never asked Dr. King to make a will in herVavor, and never spoke to him on the subject uuless ho spoke to her first. Neither Mr. Sohier nor Mr. Dexter had conic to the houso to induce him to make a will.

On request of George L. Crawford the further cross e.famiuation of Mrs. King was postponed until to day, to which the caso was adjourned, after brief and unimportant further examination of Colonel Dexter aud James L. Hays. Hnlhlenel Won't Mnpiiort traiiU HaUteod's Interview In Chicago Times.
