Intelligencer Journal from Lancaster, Pennsylvania • 2

Lancaster Intelligencer. FRIDAY EVENING. JUNE 128, 1879 The Navy Yard Game. We notice in the Philadelphia papers, that large numbers of workmen are to be engaged at once in the Navy Yard there, and that a pretext for the employment of this force is to be found in the transfer of all work hitherto done at New York, Portsmouth and other places. This is with a view of carrying the city and State elections, by any means which the Radical party can command.

Just before the last State election in California, the authorities of the Mare Island Navy Yard, near San Francisco, hired hundreds of men. On the day of election these men were marched to the polls in gangs of fifty; were given peculiarly marked tickets; were compelled to vote them under the threat of instant dismissal if they refused; and were then discharged within the next week as rapidly as they had been engaged. These facts have been stated upon the floor of the Senate by Mr. Casserly and have never been denied. The Grant platform demands for labor, the creator of capital, the largest opportunities." In view of this Navy Yard outrage on the rights of the workingmen, this resolution is a palpable bid for support under false pretenBes.

The Robeson investigation proved that this same game of driving employees to the polls like sheep has been practised on the Atlantic coast. Labor, the creator of Presidents as well as of capital, will improve the opportunity offered it next November of choosing a President who stands by the workingmen, not only with words but with deeds. Republican Disaffection in Pennsylvania. Notwithstanding the bitter abuse and indignant howls of journals in the immediate interest of the Cameron ring, Forney's keeps up warfare against Hartranft with determined spirit. He finds much encouragement from some of the leading Republican papers, who have the fearlessness and independence either to openly revolt against the Cameron ticket, or to speak out firmly in defence of Colonel Forney and the position assumed by the Press.Among them are the Doylestewn Intelligencer, Delaware Republican, Scranton Republican, Honesdale Citizen, Downingtown Journal, Coatesville Union, Mechanicsburg Journal, Globe, Lancaster Express, Lancaster Inquirer, Lancaster Enterprise, Butler Eagle, Meadville Journal, New Castle Journal, Beaver Argus, and other influential Republican journals, and their action has caused considerable alarm in the Cameron camp.

The latest journalist defection in the Radical ranks, is that of the Lancaster the leading German Republican newspaper of Lancaster county, which exerts considerable influence throughout the State. The Volksfreund," under the heading "The State Tioket," uses the following language: "It is well known that there exists in Pennsylvania an increasing dissatisfaction with the nominations of the Republican State Convention for Governor and Auditor-General. cause of this dissatisfaction is originally to be found in the shadow of. wrongdoing that overhangs the public life of the two nominees- especially by his being mixed up with the Evans swindle, and Allen by his vote in favor of robbing nine millions of State Bonds. Viewed in the most favorable light, these gentlemen are politically dead, and the Republican party must get rid of their corpses.

The Republicans of this county demand almost unanimously withdrawal of these men and the tion of new candidates. With new, blameless men for candidates, victory at the October election is beyond doubt on our side, otherwise we have to expect an irreconcilable quarrel on our own side, and certain defeat. We, Grant- demand new candidates for Governor and Auditor-General." A Spicy Campaign Speech. Col. McClure, at Morton Hall, West Philadelphia, on Wednesday night, made a speech on the political situation, local, State and Notional, which was a spicy campaign opening, and one of the most terrible arraignments of the Grant administration and the corrupt Cameron ring.

He handled them without gloves, and especially went for the State and local rings with the same eloquent power and vim with which he exposed the frauds in the Fourth Senatorial district last Fall. 'The speech, as given in the Eveniag Telegraph, occupies some five columns; and as it was listened to by a very large number of persons, and will be read by thousands more, it will exercise a most damaging influence against the Presidential and State Republican tickets. His arraignment of the carpet-baggers, who came fresh from the South to attend the Philadelphia re-nominating convention, was peculiarly spicy, and his dissecticn of the platform which was adopted, with all its shallow and unmeaning platitudes, could not fail to make a deep impression upon all who heard it, as well as upon those who read it. Why Suppress It? Said the New York Sun in a recent article: The Grant people say that Senator speech on Grant is the best Grant campaign document yet produced. If that is so, why do the Grant postmasters stop it in postoffices when it is sent out under the frank of a member of And why did the Grant policemen in Par dalobia recently collar a poor dome JOBBING in the the public streets, who sago- Lid honest livelihood form STUCK ENHOLZ, PIANO TUNER AND REPAIRER, prepared to remove pianos at short Orders will receive prompt attention B.

Kevinaki's Music Store. Dock Him. The Pittsburgh Post wants Grant treated as other men; for, it says, if a man has hired a hand who absents himself from his labor, he would be an conscionable rogue if he claimed his wages while he was loafing at a neighboring tavern; and yet what no farmer would allow in his own case, because of its dishonesty, those among them who support the Administration do allow, in the man who is simply their head hired servant. Grant draws annually from the people, in salary and perquisites, nearly and yet instead of remaining at work, as the subordinate officers of the Government are obliged to do, he runs off' every whip-stitch to his cottage by the sea-side, for which he swapped to Tom Murphy a big office in New York. If it is necessary to have a President he should earn his wages.

If the public business goes on as well without Grant as with him, let him be placed upon the retired list at the earliest possible period. Editorial Excursion. The Pennsylvania State Editorial Association took an excursion on Lake Erie on Wednesday. The evening Iprevious they had a banquet at the Reed House, Erie, and after the banquet there was a grand ball. On Thursday they leff for Titusville and the Oil region, where they arrived and had a gala time.

Judging from accounts, they must have had a good time. Zach Chandler. A Washington correspondent of the Valley Spirit, has the following notice of this model Senator: Senator Zach Chandler left here on Tuesday evening, to atend as Chairman of the National Republican Executive Committee to be held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, to devise means and plans to elect his particular friend Ulysses.

In this connection I annex the following from the Sunday Gazette of this city: "A model Senator, drunk and beastly! An unheard of outrage! Shall the U. S. Senate Chamber continue to be the spot selected by law-makers to break laws in the on vilest and most dirty way During the week we have been informed da that one of the loud mouthed defenders of the present administration reception room in a state of intoxication and approached a lady, apparently alone in the room, and made a most insulting proposal, in a manner so oflensive that it would put to blush the veriest wretch, and when the lady resented the insult he seized her and showered upon her head a torrent of invectives and Billingsgate. The young lady of high standing and character in the community, and there can be no doubt of reciness of the story, coming to us from the lips of an eye witness. I believe in the eternal fitness of things, and can understand the lesson taught by exhibiting drunkards to the youth of Sparta to deter them from the vice of intemperance, but what fitness there is in mile Michiganders sending this drunken brute to the States Senate, except, indeed, as a frightful example, I am at a loss te know, for he certainly does not represent the individual habits or characteristics of the people of that State, however much he may their politics.

It is said the coffers of the Coliseum are not running over with the receipts, but the cashier's due bills have mounted to an ernomous height. The Jubilee does not appear to be a success in any respect. Indeed, we are not sure but that Mr.

G. is more likely to say blast than bless the big blow. If sympathy availeth aught, we are sure Mr. G. will be the subject of lots.

A Perilous Man in the Jaws 8 Lion. Lengel, the lion tamer, has achieved toriety by the number of times he has suffered laceration by the claws and teeth caged animals. He was at Portage City, a few days ago, exhibiting his Lion taming" abilities in a One of his cages contained three partially. tamed brutes, two lioneses and a He had found, contrary to usual experience, that the male lion was the most crafty of the three, and on two occasions before the one at Portage City, he had detected this huge fellow in the act of sneaking up to sieze his leg. During the afternoon exhibition at Portage City the tamer was going through his usual performance in this cage with two men stationed outside with iron rods between the bars of the cage to assist if necessary, in warding off attack.

The lion had somewhat puzzled him, as manifesting different nature from that of any with which he had dealt, and for that reason he kept his eye upon him; but at one point he was obliged to turn and face the two lionesses as they passed him, leaving the lion to be by the attendants. But the attendants failed to 800 monster sneak along the floor. audience were watching more thine closely, the danger was seen, and a cry of alarm was raised, but it was to, late, the monster's jaws had closed on the calf of Lengel's right leg, the teeth met, and Lengel fell to the floor of the cage. His club flew from his hand as he fell, and I was beyond his reach; the moment was one of terrible suspense; the spectators were terrified, and the two attendants paralyzed at the result of their carelessness. But Lengel's presence of mind did not desert him.

The lion even Phis his rage, could not forget the power fallen antagonist, and loosened his hold for a ment, and before the lioness could gatber for an attack, the tamer was on his feet, seized his whip and attacked his foe, lashing him into the corner. Leaving the cage Lengal walked to his dressing box, across the ring, where he sank faint from loss of blood. It was found that no bones were broken, but the wounds were so large and deep that the surgeon who dressed them probed them with his finger and failed to touch the end. Lengel has been five times beiore bitten by his pets, and shows ascarred body, but in every case before his wounds have been from lionesses. This, he thinks, is the second case in which he has been tionally bitten, the other four being accidents, when in their snarls among themselves, they have seized himby mistake.

Terrible Scenes Execution of a Mar. derer. Nothing draws such interested crowds in the West and Southwest as hangings, which are not always conducted with that dispatch that decency requires, certainly not with the exemption from suffering which Mr. Burgh insists upon for calves and turtles. The execution of Stephen Texas, recently, was A piece of legal butchery which no heinousness of crime could justify.

Ballew, it will be remembered, was the cold- blooded villian who obtruded himself upon the confidence of the Goldens, and, when trusted in partnership with young Golden, killed him to obtain his share of the profits. With this he returned North, and, telling a plausible story about his missing comrade, actually married his sister, wearing on the occasion a pair of pants he had stolen from the murdered man. Subsequently his guilt was discovered, and he was sent back to Texas, tried, and convicted. His execution took place on the 24th ultimo, and was as horrible as the crime. He went to the scaffold smoking a cigar, which he continued, with impudent stolidity, during the religious services, in which he refused to participate.

When asked by the sheriff if he had anything to say, he made no response; the black cap was drawn over his eyes, and the trap fell. But his neck was not broken, and for fifteen minutes he swung in the air, all the time showing unmistakable signs of life. Then he was seized and raised by the sheriff and his assistants, and was actually bung a second time, amid cries of "Give the villain another dose, Shoot him' and his throat," showing how guinary the executioners were. Women fainted and the wildest confusion prevailed. It must have been an awful spectacle, but could scarcely have been more outrageous than the murder, Harry Basset and Longfellow.

The New York Herald says: Go where you will, you hear the coming race between Harry Basset and Longfellow talked of and speculateq upon. Colonel McDaniel and a few friends visited old John Harper two days ago at the latter's stable to talk about the coming race and feel" the old man as to his opinion of the result of the contest, the condition of Longfellow and other matters of interest to themselves. Colonel McDaniel, it is said, told Harper that Harry Basset would win sure; to which assertion the old man replied that Longfellow would run a quarter race all the way," meaning that the pace would be at quarter-race speed "from eend to eend." McDaniel and Harper are both sanguine of winning, each believing that he has the fastest horse that ever was in this country; but neither knows the exact racing calibre of the other. The coming contest will decide the mooted point. Betting is already heavy on the race.

There are about thirty stables of race horses at Monmouth Park, numbering more than one hundred and twenty-five clippers, that are prepared to contend in the purse and the stakes. A great feature of this meeting will be the steeple chaser and hurdle races, as there are more country" horses now at Monmouth Park, than were ever congregated at any racecourse on this continent before.

Resolutions were adopted declaring for the endorsement of Greeley and Brown at Baltimore. A Dreadful Medical Mistake. A story comes from St.

Louis, which, if true, demonstrates the vital importance of exercising the greatest care in compound. ing and administering medicines. A lad named Moore, in the town of Wheatland, applied to the county physician for something to cure ague. As he objected to taking quinine, the doctor prescribed a dose of bitters compounded of Peruvian bark, dog weed and whiskey. Young Moore took a dose of the bitters and started for his home, which he was barely able to reach and soon afterward died.

In the meantime Mrs. Moore, the lad's mother, called in two doctors to whom she communicated der apprehensions that her boy had been poisoned. They examined the medicine, told her it was not poison, and to effectually relieve her fears, swallowed each a dose tnemselves. In twenty-four hours both doctors were dead, as well as young Moore. investigation had yet been made up to the time of forwarding the news, and it is yet to be discovered whe h- er the doctor who prepared the bitters made a mistake, or the druggist from whom he purchased the medicine commited the blunder.

Roughs Breaking Into a Church. For some time past a gang of rowdies have been the terror of the people of Wilkinsburg, Allegheny county. On Sunday night whiskey, last a seated gang of themselves them, on with the jugs steps of the Methodist Church, and insulted the ladies as they passed in. After the services were commenced they amused themselves by shouting in the windows and throwing fire-crackers into the church. When they had exhausted their liquor they entered the church and began loud talking and swearing.

Some of the male members not being able to stand it any longer succeeded in ejecting them. But after the sermon was over, and the congregation separated, the rowdies followed several of those who had put them out, to their homes. and beat them severely. The citizens are now fully will have the guilty parties arrested. A Split Ticket.

C. Garrigues, who has been missing from the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane since March last, was found yesterday afternoon in the creek at Thirty street and the Pennsylyania Railroad, just within the limit of Fairmont Park. The body was without arms or legs, and it is probable that Mr. Garrigues got upon the railroad track and was run over by a train of cars. leg was found a few days ago by some boys who were fishing in the creek, and as it was greatly decayed, it was buried.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. THE HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.The Twentieth Annual Commencement of the Boys' and Girls' High Schools, of this city, took place in Fulton Hall, to day, and was the finest ever held. At fifteen minutes before eight o'clock, the pupils of the High and Secondary Schools, with their teachers and the Board of Directors, met at the Girls' High School Building, and with the City Band at the bead, marched procession to Fulton Hall, every seat in which, except those reserved for the pupils, was already pied. To add to the accommodation immense crowd in attendance, the Committee of Arrangements had erected a platform and seats upon the stage sufficiently large tout accommodate not only the graduates, the pupils of both the Boys' and Girls' High Schools, the teachers, and the Board of Directors. The female graduates occupied chairs on a temporary platform erected in front of the permanent stage, and the male graduates sat behind them.

'The Directors occupied the centre of the stage, and the pupils of the schools a raised platform extending to the rear of the stage, at the northern end of which was piano-forte, presided over by MrF, Chas. F. Rengier, and front centre was a cabinet organ, at which sat the Musical Director, Professor William B. Hall. Among other distinguished gentlemen who seats upon the J.

P. Wickersham, State Superintendent of Schools, Hon. J. B. Livingston, Rev.

H. Kremer, D. Rev. Dr. Green wald, D.

and Rev. T. B. Barker. On either side of the front of the stage were large frames, wreathed with ivy, containing a great number of paintings and drawings executed the pupils of the schools.

Similar frames decorated both sides of the entrance to the Hall, and the side- were also hung with a numof framed pictures, all executed by the pils, and them real gems of art. The view from the auditorium to the stage was a beautiful one, the graduates and their classmates, numbering more than and all decked in gay attire, presenting a picture to delight the eye of the most careless observer; but the view from the stage, looking down upon the audience, was still finer. Much the larger portion of the audience was composed of ladies and misses, of whom there were many hundreds, elegantly dressed in all imaginable colors, and in all the prevailing styles of ladies' attire. A thousand busy fans were constantly in motion to cool a thousand flushed but smiling faces, while a thousand gay feathers gaudy ribbons were gently swayed to and tro by the gentle breeze thus created. It was a grand sight, greatly enjoyed by all who had the good fortune to be upon the stage.

The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. Green wald. Wm. R.

Wilson, Chairman of the Superintending Committee, read the following report of the examinations of High and Secondary Schools: REPORT. Owing to want of time, some of the reports having been handed in at a late hour, and one or two others, in an imperfect form, I shall, for once, omit the usual tabular statement, showing the number of transfer scholars, with the grade or rank of the Primary Schools. It gives me pleasure, however, to be able to say, that taking the examinations as a basis, and considering the sickly condition of our city, during the past Winter and Spring, by the prevalence of contagious diseases, and the additional fact, that the rules of the Board not only necessarily exclude the scholars unhappily afflicted, but the entire household for a period of four weeks, after the first invasion of the disease" ing not only in point of numbers, but in ripe scholarship, is entirely satisfactory to the Board, and it is confidently hoped equally so, to the patrons. And it gives me peculiar pleasure to present to the citizens of Lancaster, the high standing of the High and Secondary Schools, as the examinations, herewith submitted, attest.

A sense of duty, however, impels me a word touching a matter of high children not attendingschool. school census, lately conducted under the auspices of the Board, show the fact that out of 4042 of the required age, 860 do not attend any school, being about the of the entire school population, We must, however, bear in mind that the same statis ice show that by far the greater portion of thisnon -school going population serve some useful employment, generally aiding their parents in their support.

The factories, brick yards, stores, fully prove this. There are cases necessity controls the better instincts of parents -which compels them, as it were, to keep their children, although young, at such employment, but I subunit, with confi dence, that these are exceptionable casesthe rule being that parents ought and can give their children those facilities of education without which their future usefulness will forever be blasted. Can it for a moment be justified, (saving the exceptions adverted to) for the sake of a temporary moneyed advantage, to put children, from ten to fifteen years of age to hard labor, which is otherwise honorable and meritorious, and thus deprive them at the very time, above any other, peculiarly fitted for their moral and intellectual development, of the advantages of education Maintenance, protection and education are the three great duties enjoined by parents to their children, 88 long as the latter are not fully able to take care of themselves--subjection, obedience, during minority, and honor and reverence ever after, are the correlatives.And that parent who ignores the last branch of these duties, ignores that which a great writer said more than a century -is "a duty pointed out by reason, and by far the greatest importance of any." Another writer of great celebrity justly remarks, "that it is not easy to imagine or allow, that a parent has conferred any particular benfit upon his child by bringing him into the world if he afterwards entirely neglects his culture and education, and suffers him to grow up like a mere beast, to lead a life usless to others and shameful to himself." There are still a few, but comparatively very few, who are not employed, and still do not attend school. Of such the problem is even more difficult; to our -compulsory system, notbing can be done co-operation of parents. It is to the parents of such therefore, that the friends of education appeal, earnestly and hopefully.

by all the considerations that ennoble human nature, and by all the ties that adorn the relations of parent and child, to aid in remedying the evil. WM. Chairman Sup. June 28, 1872. At the conclusion of the reading of Mr.

Barker All of the essays and addresses were 60 well composed and creditably delivered that it would perhaps be unjust and in bad taste to discriminate as to their relative excellence. A few of the boys spoke rather too hurriedly, and a few of the girls a little too low; but as a general thing, the members of the class acquitted themselves with unusual distinction. One of the most enjoyable features of the entertainment was the musical portion of the programme, under direction of Prof. Wm. B.

The choruses and semichoruses were all rendered with great, volume, precision, and sweetness, the solos, duetts and quartettes were particularly fine. Misses Maurer and Eavling, altos, and Misses Marshall Musser, sopranos, sang "Distant Chimes" very excellently, and were loudly applauded; as were the two latter in the duett "My Own Dear Mountain Home." "Our Darling Sleeps," a solo, by Ella Musser, and a -chorus by a portion of the class was very effective, and highly appreciated as was also the duett "Music on the Waves' by Misses and Marshall. Taken altogether the present Commencement of the High Schools was unprecedentedly successful; and did honor alike to the graduates to their teachers, the Directors and our Common school system. RE UNION AND BANQUET. -ODE of the most interesting incidents of the mencement of 1872, especially to those concerned, was the Re-union and Banquet of the Class of '69.

When the Class left their Alma Mater three years ago, it was agreed upon to meet in three years, hence the happy occasion. The banquet was served up by Miller Metzgar in an elegant per. The exercises were very interesting, and were by "welcome poem" by Rev. 0. L.

Ashenfelter in his usual happy manner. Presentation of the ring of '69 to the first groom, M. U. Hess, for. his worthy bride, by the President of the class, Rev.

N. Z. Snyder. The ring was received by the groom, in the name of his fair partner. Class History, D.

G. W. Snyder, the class of '69 separated, never perbaps to meet togethether again until the final trump shall sound, and they are to render an account of the deeds done in the body. There was but one regret in the midst of all the hilarity and joyousness of the occasion, that out of our little band of eighteen, there were only fourteen present. The absent ones were scattered over our broad land, East, West, North and South, so that even at our first re union there were some Vacant chairs.
