The New Jersey Republican Repre
sentative in Congress who votes for
the Fitz John Porter bill, votes in op
position to the will of the Republican
party of the State. That bill should
not receive a single Republican vote.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Trenton, March 10, 1886.
The Impeachment of Mr. P. H. Lav
erty, State Prison Keeper, for high
crimes and misdemeanors, is the theme
of conversation about the State House
this week. The articles of impeach
ment have been presented to the Sen
ate, and a committee of five members
of the House selected as Managers. In
the Senate a series of rules for the gov
ernment of the case have been adopted,
and everything is ready for the trial
which will begin as soon as Mrs. Min
nie Shaffer can be brought to Trenton,
she now being sick at her home in
Paterson. Mrs. Shaffer is the woman
who has brought criminal charges
against Mr. Laverty, and her evidence
is considered important. When the
trial commences the Senate will, under
the Constitution, resolve itself into a
Court, with President Griggs as its
presiding officer. The House Mana
gers will prosecute the case, while Mr.
Laverty will be allowed counsel to de
fend him. It is said that ex-Judge
Hoffman, of Hudson County, an able
lawyer, is to be his counsel, assisted
by a Mr. Linderbury. When the evi
dence is all in, and counsel has sum
med up on both sides, the Senate will
proceed to vote as to the guilt or inno
cence of the defendant. It requires a
two-third vote to convict. As the
Senate consists of twenty-one mem
bers, fourteen votes will be required.
The trial will be an exciting one, and
probably last a week or more.
The Senate has passed a bill (which
makes a radical change in the season
for shooting rabbits and quail. If the
act passes the House of Assembly and
becomes a law, the season will not
open until the 14th day of November,
thus taking two weeks off the season.
As the law now stands gunning begins
the 1st day of November, and ends the
31st day of December.
Senator Chattle’sbill which prohibits
the sale of liquor to minors under a
heavy penalty, has passed the Senate
by a large majority. Previous to a
vote being taken the Senator made a
very powerful speech in advocacy of
the measure.
The House of Assembly has spent
several days wrangling over Senate
bill No. 43, known as the Chase Re
pealer of the General Railroad act.
On Thursday last, however, the Penn
sylvania road discovered that a suffi
cient number of votes could not be se
cured to pass it, and they withdrew
the measure. In a short time the same
proposition re-appeared, under the
specious title of “a supplement to the
bridge act of 1878.”
The House resumed consideration of
the substitute for Senate bill No. 43,
on Monday evening, and continued in
session until half past six o'clock Tues
day morning, Mr. Gourley, of Passaic
County, making a five hours’ speech
against it. After a very exciting de
bate the bill was passed by the follow
A BRUTE LYNCHED.
A colored man named Samuel John
son, alias “Mingo Jack,” was arrested
at Eatontown, this state, on Friday
evening, upon a charge of felonious
assault, made by Miss Angelina Her
bert, the daughter of James Stewart
Herbert, a farmer living on the road
which leads from Eatontown to Asbury
Park. The accused was locked up in
the little brick jail there. About one
o'clock on Saturday morning the jail
was broken open, and after Johnson
had been clubbed until ne was nearly
dead he was hanged. At six o’clock
Saturday morning Win. Abbott, a
laborer, discovered the body of John
son hanging from the iron grating over
the entrance to the jail. Abbott gave
the alarm, and in a few minutes fully
500 persons gathered around the jail.
The body swung to and fro until the
arrival of Coroner R. T. Smith, of Red
Bank, who cut it down. The face had
been so badly beaten that it was diffi
cult to tell whether the corpse was that
of a colored man or a white one. The
right eye had been knocked out and
lay on the cheek. The two jail cells
were bespattered with blood. On the
floor of one of them were two oak
clubs covered with blood and hair. It
is not known who lynched the negro,
and the people of the town, although
greatly excited over the affair, are not
at all anxious to find them. The young
woman positively indentified Johnson
as her assailant. She was on her way
to the house of Jackson Brown a
neighbor, at the time the assault was
committeed. While in a pathway
which leads through the woods lying
between her home and Brown's house
she was overtaken by Johnson, the
negro caught her by the throat and
told her that if she did not comply with
his wishes he would kill her. He then
dragged her into the woods at the side
of the path for about seventy-five
yards, knocking her down by striking
her a blow behind the left ear he ac
complished his purpose, and then
struck oil through the woods to his
cabin. Miss Herbert succeeded in
reaching her home, and told her ter
rible story.
SHERMAN S CONTRIBUTIONS.
A popular fund to provide for Mrs.
Catherine Scales, of St. Louis, who is
over seventy years of age, and has de
voted forty-five years of her life to the
building up of the public school sys
tem of St. Louis, has been lately start
ed. In response to an invitation to
contribute, Gen. W. T. Sherman, in a
letter to Mrs. J. Anderson, says
Your feeling appeal in behalf of Mrs.
Catherine Scales, of the Jefferson Pub
lic School, is before me, and though
you are are a stranger to me, I will
venture to offer a few facts which I
hope will convince you that General
Sherman ought not to be expected to
contribute to this charity, though most
worthy. I have owned real property
in St. Louis since 1850, on which I
have paid thousands of dollars in taxes,
though I have never received a cent
in return. My family- is Catholic, and
Mrs. Sherman would no more consent
to have her children enter a public
school than a common tavern. There
fore, in addition to my ^school taxes I
have been compelled to pay large
prices for education in private schools.
Again for the past twenty years I have
been taxed heavily by old Union
soldiers who are sent to me by neigh
bors or naturally come to me in their
distress. I believe I am thus taxed
five dollars to one paid by the most
wealthy citizens of St. Louis, and this
is one of the causes which drives me
from St. Louis.
VALUE OF ADVERTISING.
Mr. William H. Wanamaker, a mem
ber of the Philadelphia firm of Wana
maker & Prowii, on a brief business
trip to Louisville, where the firm has
a flourishing branch establishment,
has been giving his views on the gen
eral subject of advertising in the Louis
ville Commercial. His opinion and ex
perience will be read with interest.
He says: "There is no people any
where that can be humbugged or de
ceived more than once. Your customer,
while he may not know the intrinsic
merit of what you offer, can form a
pretty fair idea of quality, and once
you mislead him his confidence in you
is gone forever, and besides that he
will influence a portion of his circle of
friends against you. If there is any
one thing I would offer as a maxim to
advertisers it is this: ‘The truth pays.
Some years we have spent over a quar
ter of a million dollars in advertising,
and you can readily see that we have
given the subject very much practical
trial, and have studied it theoretically
as a science. In all these years we
have watched the returns carefully
from every standpoint we have taken,
and are now prepared to give our un
qualified opinion that more and better
returns are given to us through the
newspapers than all the other means
ever tried.
"We advertise every day in the
year,” said Mr. W., “except Sunday.
There is always some trade doing, even
in the dullest season, and we strive to
divert the floating or transient trade
to our place. Again, when business
ordinarily is dull, people who see our
invitations in the newspapers are more
apt to read them, for the reason that
they have more time toread, and there
are fewer advertisements then. Many
merchants who have been in business
for a certain number of years will say:
‘Oh, we are so well known it is no use
for us to advertise.’ There never was
a greater mistake. We would as soon
think of cancelling our insurance poli
cies as our advertising contracts. We
spend more money with newspapers
each year that goes by; there are more
people who want goods, and new trade
is always coming to the surface. Ad
vertising that is well done is cumula
tive in its character. It is like the
compounding of interest. An adver
tisement inserted in a daily paper one
day will, in all probability, make a
good return to the merchant who has
the goods the people want at the right
prices; each successive advertisement
that he puts in gains an impetus and
influence from the original one, and so
it counts up until the name of the firm_
gets what is equivalent to the ‘good
will' of a successful business, besides
deriving the direct profit from immedi
ate sales caused by the advertising.
To advertise well a merchant should
give as much care to his newspaper
space as he does to any other depart
ment of the business. As a general
thing a merchant can well afford to
spend in newspaper advertising from
one-third to one-fifth the amount of all
his other total expenses.”
AMERICAN ENTERPRISE.
No invention of the nineteenth een- ,
tury Inis worked a greater revolution
in household economy or oonfcnv<
more of a benefit on humanity than
the sewing machine.
The first productions were crude and
uncouth in the extreme, and it was re
served for American skill and ingenuity
to bring forth a machine of any prac
tical value. , , ,
In order to appreciate the great ad
vancement which lias taken place it is
only necessary to compare one of the
machines built during the infancy of
the invention with one of the latest
improved “Light-Running New
Home.” . . , . i
All the really good points contained
in other machines have been utilized
in its construction. Many new im
provements and devices have also been
added, the result of which is a machine
as nearly perfect as it is possible to
make one.
For simplicity, durability, ease of
management and capacity for work,
the “Light-Running New Home lias
no rival, and the Imppy possessor of
one may rest assured that he or she
has the very best the world affords.

The Camden Courier is dealing sturdy
blows for the people in its able edi
torials on the acts now pending in the
Legislature to prevent the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad from obtaining the
right of way across Staten Island
Sound to New York. The Courier has
the right side of the question, and its
editor is to be commended for his
manly defence of the people’s rights.
President Cleveland is not getting
away with the United States Senate
by a long shot. The Republican ma
jority in that body is a little too smart
for him and his Cabinet. Having al
ready rejected Chase and Pillsbury, the
Maine conspirators, the Senate pro
poses to put the axe to the necks of
several other reformers of like ilk, who
Mr. Cleveland has sent in for confirma
tion. Let the good work go on.
John F. Miller, U. S. Senator from
California, died on Monday in Wash
ington, aged 55 years. He was a na
tive of Indiana, and a soldier of the
war for the Union, from which, after
conspicuous gallantry, he emerged a
brevet Major-General. He removed
to California; was collector at San
Francisco under President Johnson;
accumulated a fortune in business, and
was elected U.' S. Senator in 1881 to
succeed Newton Booth.
It is too early yet to discuss the
Governorship. But, whetherthe nom
inee be Gen. Win. Ward, Wm. Walter
Phelps, Gen. E. Burd Grubb, or some
other good man, the Republicans of
New Jersey should unite shoulder to
shoulder, and prepare to make a strong
and earnest fight. The surest way to
aid the cause and bring victory, is for
the Republican majority in the Legis
lature to act wisely on the many im
portant measures now before them.
Next Fall the State will witness one
of the liveliest campaigns seen in many
years. There will be a Governor to
-elect; seven Members of Congress, and
a Legislature which will chose a United
States Senator for a term of six years.
Seven counties will elect State Senators
as follows: Atlantic, Bergen, Cumber
land, Hudson, Mercer, Morris and
Ocean. The fight will be exciting in
each one of them, with the probabili
ties of several very close margins.
After a long and expensive litigation,
the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting As
sociation has withdrawn its suit against
the water Commissioners of Asbury
Park. The suit is the first of its kind
and came up before the Supreme Court
in Trenton, in November last. It arose
from the sinking of an artesian well by
the Asbury Park Commissioners in
low ground on the turnpike, about 850
feet northeast of the original Ocean
Grove artesian well. It gave thirty
gallons of most excellent water per
minute. The association claimed that
it greatly diminished the flow of the
Ocean Grove well and that the supply
was being cut off.

Anthony Comstock recently ad
dressed the House Post Office Com
mittee upon the use of the mails for
the promotion of fraudulent schemes.
It was difficult, he said, for the officers
to trace the persons conducting the
fraudulent schemes, because of their
numerous aliases. 'One man whom he
had arrested had 145 different names
and addresses, another 136, and a third
80.
Surprise is expressed that General
Hancock did not leave a large estate
behind him, but he was generous to a
fault, and he had many calls upon his
charity. It was the heavy cross of his
life that his twin brother, for thirty
years resident of a distant Western
city, had disappointed his expectation,
lost his ambition and sunk into a living
death. His brother was a lawyer, one
of the most brilliant in the Northwest,
clearing from $15,000 to $20,000 a year
by his practice, when he fell a victim
to his love for good company and good
cheer. He went down from his high
position like a rocket, and for the last
fifteen years lias been entirely sup
ported by his brother, the General.
There is a touching little bit of romance
connected with this sad story. The
lawyer was, in his prime, a magnificent
looking man, and became engaged to
the beautiful daughter of a lady in
whose house he boa-ded. But the
lady saw danger ahead, and she re
fused to marry her ardent and hand
some wooer until he would foreswear
the flowing bowl and show himself a
thoroughly reformed man. He still
lives in the same house, and the lady
is there too and still unwedded. She
is true to her love, but is equally true
to her promise, and, while she tenderly
cares for the man she loves and mourns,
she knows that her life is wrecked and
that there is no hope now on this side
of the grave. The world is full of such
unnoticed heroines.—New York Letter.
The good luck that befel a Tarrytown
(N. Y.) laborer a short time ago, in the
shape of a fortune from a relation in
Ireland, has turned out had luck, as he
has been sent to prison for four months
the result of too much drink.
The christening dress of the first
born of the young Princess di Oralatro
Colonna (nee Miss Eva Mackay) is,
perhaps, the most unique specimen ex
tant of the finest point d'Aiencon lace
of great beauty and rarity. The dress,
made as a loose slip, is bordered with
antique lace of a quarter of a yard in
width, the remainder of the garment
being woven to correspond, and hav
ing the arms of the Colonna family de
signed in lace upon the corsage. The
Princess Anna Murat declared that the
dress surpassed in beauty the famous
christening robe of the late Prince Im
perial. The lace is the most superb
that has been seen in Paris for years.
Even the wedding flounces of the
Queen Regent of Spain cannot be com
pared to it. Mrs. Mackay, the mother
of the Princess, has a collection of lace
that surpasses any of the royal houses
of Europe—so it is said, at any rate.
She possesses the celebrated tunic and
flounces in point d'Aiencon, manufac
tured for the Empress Eugene in 1869.
This lace was copied from a piece
originally in possession of Mine, de
Pompadour.—Court Journal,
Frank Mullin, a Philadelphia ex
pressman, was takinga box containing
two big striped hyenas to the Philadel
phia Zoo the other day, when he felt a
particularly warm and vigorous breath
on the back of his neck. He looked
around and saw that there was a big
hole in the box, large enough to per
mit either of the beasts to escape, but
which was filled by the heads of botli
hyenas, whose white teeth gleamed
unpleasantly near his back. With a
yell Frank whipped up his horses and
dashed through the streets like a mad
man, never stopping until he reached
the Zoo. There the hyenas were beat
en back and the hole was boarded ovei
but Mullin didn’t entirely recover for
a day or two. _
A suit for $10,000 damages has beer:

Blood purifiers and “invigorators,
“tonics,” and “alteratives,” have been
palmed off upon the people, but, after
a brief season of experiment, have dts
appeared because of their utter worth
lessness. Dr. Walker's famous Vine
gar Bitters are not of this class.
Many million bottles have been sold,
and still does the demand continue to
increase.
Sheriff McKay of Tuscola county,
Mich., was ill the other day, and his
