rccmnn. EBENSBURC. PA., FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1S81. II en it y Stasi'.ekby, of Ohio, who was Attorney General of the United states under President Johnson, and who resigned in order to defend the President in his impeachment trial, died suddenly in New York on last Saturday, while on a visit to some friends, He was seventy-five years old aid was regarded as one of the foremost lawyers in the coun try. The Duke of Sutherland, who has traveled over nearly all the principal railroads in the country, and has re turned to New York from his trip to San Francisco, pronounces the Pennsyl rania Hail lioad superior to all the other roads in the solidity of its construction and the completeness of its shops at Al toona. More truth :n so short a sentence was never uttered. Owini; to the deatli ot his mother, the places of business f Mr. John Wana inakcr, the great Philadelphia merchant and clothier, were closed several irays tin's week, resuming ojerations to-day I ( Friday 1." In his'irreat affliction, and no matter how exalted or how humble the position in life of any man may he, the los3 of his "best friend on earth'' is al ways a great affliction, Mr. Wanamaker has our sincere and heartfelt sympathies, while for the ashes of his venerable and venerated mother peace is our prayer. E. A. "Wallet, "of Olean, New York, was examined as a witness last week be fore the Bradley-sessions bribery inves tigating committee of the Legislature of that State, to prove an alleged recent conversation between him and P.iadley at U'ean, whore they both reside, about Conkling and Piatt, and ha'mg done so and bt ing asked by a member of the committer, '"To which wing of the He- j publican partv do you belong?"' "W al ley promptlyreplied, "To neither, thank God !' This brief, but emphatic, re sponse of Walley covered the whole case, and was a more eloquent and forcible dissertation on the rottenness of the.two riv.il llepublican factious in the Xew York Legislature than any other Demo crat beside Walley could have made in a two hours" speech. T r k i A y last was the day fixed by Judge Pearson, of D.iuphin county, for hearing the application ot Mr. Wolfe, a member of the late House from Pnion county, for a writ of mandamus against the State Treasurer, commanding him to pay Wolfe S"0, being the compensa tion for fifty days over one hundred, for which he has already been paid, or show cause why he should not pay the same. The case was aigued on that day, but whether Judge Tearson awarded the writ or not, we are unable to-dav (Wed nesday afternoon 1 to stale. Xo matter what his decision is whether lie grants the writ or refuses to grant it the case will goto the Supreme C'ouit for linal disposition. The question involved is one of importance to the members of the Legislature, as well as to the people of the state, ami will always be a source of trouble and angry dispute until it is judicially determined. The question cannot be argued before t lie Supreme Court. until it meets at Pittsburg in Oct tober. .Ti ixiE William M. Hall, of the Pedford and Somerset district, pubiish- Tiie Republican state Committee of Virginia met at Richmond last week, and after declaring that John F. Lewis, its chairman, who was recently nomina ted by Mahone's Readadjuster conven tion for Lieutenant Governor was no longer a member of the Committee, and electing General Wickham in his place, decided to hold a State convention at Staunton, on August -24th to nominate candidates for Slate otlicers, and that none but straight-out Republicans could vote for delegates or be eligible them selves as delegates. Gen. Wickham, Congressmen Jorgensen and Dezeudorf, as well as other Republican leaders de clare that the battle in favor of the hon est payment of the State debt, and against Mahone and repudiation, will be fought to the bitter end. During Gar field's long service in Congress he was notorious for his indecision and want of nerve, and on this question between Wickham and Mahone of paying the State debt, he exhibits the same weak traits of character ; so that on one day after having lx en waited on by a Com mittee of Mahoneites he is claimed as favoring their side in the stuggle, and only a few days afterwards Gen, Wick ham comes from the White House, de claring that Garfield will never give any aid or comfort to Mahone and his motley crowd of repudiationists. It is even said he lately stated to a prominent Vir ginia Republican that if the platform of Mahone's convention winked in any way at repudiation he washed his hands of it, when in that very platform the Ma hone men say; "Wo reassert our pur pose to settle and adjust the State obli gations on the principle of the bill 'tore establish the public credit' known as the Riddleberger bill," and that bill pro vides that the principal of the debt, ?:50,- 01 K rill LA DELPHI A LETTER.

Special Correspondence of the Fheemas. rHii.ADEi.rHiA, June 27, 1881. Deaii r Pike When I wrote my last let teron tlie loth of June, my birthday, and the dav predicted for tlie destruction of the world, I knew it was a had day to lw born on, yet I didn't know but what it might he a good day on which to destroy the world. The world, however, was not, in accordance with prediction, destroyed on that day, hut keeps on revolving as usual. This beautiful world still survives, and men, women and ?hildren pursue their daily avocations as heretofore. Yet while that fellow in Canada predicted the l!th of June last as the day on which the world was to be knocked into smithereens, nvivu ot iii- i cool citizens of the country, irrespective of n n m. c Political differences, but it seem after all that he hasn't wind enough to probe the ir- ' regularities to the bottom. If Mr. A indom a ; wind hid beeu good, and he had gone a little ! deeier, he would have struck a rich vein, j Had his wind not given out after skinning the surface and finding overcoats, bay rum and lunohes of forty-candle power, he would I have found a rich mine. Mr. Windom im ! proving to he a w'uidbroken Secretary is a sore disappointment to hi friends, who have i boasted of his long windedness. Mr. Win- dom's wind failed him wnen lie (iiscoveren he would run against a woman or two, or perhaps more, who were clad in thousand dollar seal-skin cloaks, with diamonds and other trappings to match. The fact of Mr. Windom losing his wind has stopped the Treasury investigation a little short of some very absorbing discoveries. The develop ments brine made by the official inquiry were becoming too ominous and the stencli NEWS AND OTHER NOTINUS. it is perhaps too soon to declare old Moth- t too offensive, and altogether it was too heavy er Shipton as a false prophetess, as she only predicted the year in wiucii tiie world is to be destroyed, and not the day. This world may yet be demolished before the year is ended. Indeed, believers in Mother Shipton's prophecy still say that the world ' will come to end in 1881, ami are taking fresh j courage from the appearance in the heavens J of the comet, the honor of whose discovery, as far as this country is concerned, belongs . to a Philadelphia astronomer. Our learned ! professor fears that under certain contingen- cies this comet may do this earth and solar i system a great deal of harm. The time is not I past for regarding these interesting pheno- j inena as wandering hells, peopled with the j souls of the lost. There are still civilized hu- ! man beings who regard them as evil por- tents. Allthe observations areon Mieii t ire, j countless telescopes are being pointed, to- ward the northwest, and people who never j before got out of led earlier than 8 or 9 in j the morning, are rising several hours earlier j in order to feast their eyes or. the heavenly I visitant. The history of this comet is no"t j known. Whi ther it will explode, like an in- carnate dream of fire, no astronomer has yet I found out. As it has not been traveling to I all eternity its career will sooner or later 1 come to an end. j The remarkable events which took place on the first foul days after the lUth of June, have I led many people to believe that it was thro pure respect for the greatness of the Penn sylvania Quilldi ivers that Divine Providence postponed the destruction of the world from the ltuh to a later period. The people of the whole land, and especially the people of Pennsylvania, should in the fullness of their a contract for Mr. Windom's wind. It seems that the Treasury investigating committee has caused a panic among the jobbers both inside and outside the Treasu ry, The Treasury's custodian, Pitney, had a curious style of hook-keeping, which he learned while keeping books for Sherman and Grant, hankers.

Garden! mav play fast and loose in : Had the world been destroyed on that day, this Virginia contest in any manner that j suits his character for double-dealing, j but in any aspect of the case, as matters now stand, Mahone and his party are doomed to defeat. Tin-: corrupt use of money in this State for a heretofore unknown purpose, at least we never before heard it even hinted at, is just now causing a good the interesting scene in the spacious depart ment on the second fioor of the Continental Motel, Philadelphia, known as parlor C, would not have taken place on the following day ; nor would there for three days there after in the Ocean House, at Long ttraneh, have been heard the powerful melody or George Conley's suberb basso voice or the eloquence of Brother Cliai-les E. Smith and other giit-toneued Ouilldrivers. Had the l world been destroyed on the P'th there would have been no luscious banquets followed by a flow of soul and feast of reason at Long Branch on the -JJd, -J.:d and iMtli. The speech deal of excitement among the people of fs made on that festive occasion were icplete ,, , ,. i with elegant and eloquent allusions to the j. iv'ii iuitm, i uiLj-stu ii atui.'ui di rectors, as well as a large number of cit- I zens of that county, have addressed a ie- j greatness, power and responsibility ot their great anil growing professors. From their speeches may be learned the all-important fact, that to'tliem the balance of mankind titioil to Dr. Iligbee, Superintendent of i are indebted for their education, civilization, Public Instruction, charging Marion 1 (ass, Suttf-rintrndent elect of that coun ty, with bribery and corruption, and pro testing against the issuing of a commis sion to him. The signers of the protest represent a majority of the Directors of eleven school districts, and they openly charge Cass with having corruptly paid money to Directors from several town ships to vote fr him, and that he owes j his election to the illegal use of that j 'Toot of all evil."' This charge, if it is 1 sustained by the evidence hereafter to i be taken, will open up a new page in the dark and crooked ways of men intent upon getting into public office. The re sult of the investigation into this case will be awaited with considerable inter ! est, and if Cass is shown to have bought j his office in the manner alleged against j him, the penalty fur his offence should i be promptly visited upon him, as a vvarn j ing to others who may in the future in other localitiesalteiupt to get 'Hisses. i.m f of the same cilice in the same reprehensi I ble manner. The time is fast approach j ing in this country, if it is not here now, ! when it would seem that any cilice from j the Presidency down to the lowest can j be bought like anything else, provided The Depopvltion of Ireland. The population of Ireland is falling off sadly. The census has just been taken and shows a decrease of fiom .r.,411,416 to .-.,l.i!t,84U, or Ml, .Ml". Ireland is thus growing poorer in people while the rest of the civilized world is growing richer. This has been going on eince 1841, when the population reached its maximum 8,17."i,l-J4. The potato rot came in 184 and the two vears following, and the immediate result of 'that and of the political movement of 1848 was to reduce the popula tion by 18M to ii r-r?i,:r, a decline of nearly twenty n?r centum. The aid generously sent te Ireiand from the United States during the potato famine had directed emigration to this count rv ami it has been flowing here in a steady stream ever since. In isr.i the popu lation fell to :i,7!W..vi4 and the figures for the next two decades have been given above. It is a curious ami noteworthy fact that wnue I from 1SC.1 to 171 the decrease inLeinster was i 8.:." per centum, in Minister 8.14, in l.'on i naught 7.3.1, in Ulster, where tenants have larger rights and more advantageous liold ' ings, the decrease was 4.:t8. This gradual I depopulation of Iicland Is shown in more I ways than one. For an old country it is a sin ! gular fact for the women to outnumber the ' men. In '.871 there were -J,771,.1!o women in i Ireland anil 2,t'..!!.8Ji; men. The excess of i women over men indicates, of course, the i emigration of the latter to seek new homes j and tields of labor away from the country of their birth. The number of inhabited houses i fell off from l.Oi.i.J.vt in is;i io .'tn.Ijn in i inn. Births fell off from 1.11, ': in is?l to j l.'.4,:S70 in 17. m;u riages from I'S.WO to l!.1, :u;:l, while deaths increased from 88,720 to !i),8;K. In 1878 there were '12, l'.w" less acres i cultivated than the year before, while the j paupers increased from 7:i,!21 in is7 to ll, ; so" iu 187o. These figures tell a sad story of j decreasing population and growing poverty, which nothing can account fot except that the Irish race, one of the most virile and I courageous in the world, is struggling -iiimic-I cessfuilv against, uncongenial institutions, i VluliHl-U'itia Timr. ed a card last week withdrawing from money enough is used to accomplish the the contest for President Judge. The i end in view. prin. ary elect ions of the Republican par ty in Somerset county were held on Sat urday last, and a dispatch to the Johns town Trihutf states that A. J. Cclbiirn received a majority of the votes for Judire. Hall being out of the way iu Redfoid, the contest in that county was between Cessna and I.ongenecker, with the odds at the delegate election last week larilv m favor of Cessna. The struggle f r the nomination in the dis- j trict conference will, therefore, be be- ; tween Cessna and Colburn. As we are outside ot the district, we only refer to j the matter because of the deep interest j we feel in seeing honest and competent j men elevated to the President Judgeship j of every district in the State men who i will hoiur the position and command i the entire confidence of the people. Wm. j J. JJ.ier, of Somerset, will no doubt be j the Democratic candidate, and in a con- ' test in which that gentleman is opjKised J by either Cessna or Colburn, we do not ; think the result would be doubtful. Ten years ago Mr, llaer carried Somerset j county against Judge Hall, and as he is admitted to le honest ami competent, we believe be can do the same thing j next November, and especially so as i against a man so notoriously incompe- j tent as Colburn. In March, 17'5. when the case of Sen ator Caldwell, of Kansas, who was charg ed with bribery in having procured his election, was before the United States Senate, Roscoe Conkling concluded a seecli on the subject in the following words : It takes nearly all the time of a Re- ; publican administration now-a-days to I exjHise and lay bare the sins and iniqui ' ties of its predecessor. The particular j friends of Mr. Hayes took great pleas- ure in showing up Jthe coiruptions of the last four years of Grant's rule, all ' the while professing their devotion to i reform, and lauding in extravagant terms the ierfeet purity of Hayes" meih ! ods injcoiiducting the government. G;ir ' field has been in office four months, and j during all that time the country has ; heard of little else than investigations '' of rottenness and plundering in the i Post-office and Treasury Departments under Hayes' very nose. And thii3 it has been going on since Grant's first election in lstW, the Republican party i all the time making loud professions of reform and humbugging tlie people into ; a belief in its honesty. We are always ' going to have reform and. honesty in I government according toRepubiican pro- rnises, but no sooner does a new admin . istration of that party succeed to power I than the frauds and villanies of tlie one j that preceded it are uncovered and : spread before a cheated and betrayed leople. How long will the people con sent to be thus deluded, and to trust in Republican pledges made tuily to be bro ken ? ! Thf. Pittsburg Itifspotch is altogether i mistaken iu confounding Mr. riummer, j of Franklin, Venango county, who is j favorably mentioned as the next Demo cratic candidate for State Treasurer, ! with Wm. C. Plummer, the Greenback candidate for Congress last year in the j Crawford district. The Venango couu j ty Plummer, is the son of the late Ar j nold Plummer, of that county, as hon est and pure a man as we ever knew, and a Democrat of the Andrew Jackson j school. His son is said to inherit all ; the excellent qualities of his father, in , eluding his devotion to the honest prin ciples of true Democracy. The li.iat;h, or rather the Xew York Trihnnt, from which it copies the rejort of an inter view with ex-Governor Cuitin, is also Conkling in 1873, of ; widely astray in the statement that Cur- He i3 now availing t tin's father left France in lSfKV'for rea sons of liberty and safety."' Gov. Cur tin's father was an Irishman from the crown of bis head to the soles of his feet, but even that didn't stop "Andy" from joining the know-nothing party in when he had his eye on a seat in the U. s. .Senate. As that little mistake, how ever, was made more than twenty-one years ago, he might iossibIy escape po litical damnation now by setting up the plea of the statute of limitations. ' I have done with this case, and I leave it, believing that the discussion will do much to concent rate a burning focus of indignant pub lic attention upon the grovelling agencies which profane elections, .states should pass laws to punish the briber and the bribed, and Gongress should also act. A bee statutes. however, is public opinion. When a whole- j si'iiit; mm i u.'-u rtcuiuue'iii. is HWHKenea in this regard, men will no longer in their be- liair scuffle' for place in the purlieus of Legis- ; laturesand nominating conventions. They j will keep aloof, it whl be disgraceful anil . fata' to appear electioneering and manipula- ' ting for themselves. They will wait until the j office and the people seek them." 2So man ever drew a more ierfect pic ture of himself, than the one drawn in this extract by Conkling in 18S1 himself of "tlie groveling agencies"' which profane the elections of United State Senators, and is engaged in his own behalf in a "scufJle"' for re-election "in the purlieus"' of the Xew York Leg islature. He won't keep "aloof," as he said in 173 was the proper thing to do, but "electioneers" and "manipulates" for himself, refusing to wait until "the ollice and the ieopIe" seek him, which I;e has discovered long before this'will not come topass during the present session of the Legislature, and most probably will never corue to pass iu the future.

There was, it may tie, more ta'eiit in the Assemblage of the "knights of the (Jnill" at Long Praneh, than in any body of any other class of men ever before assembled on this continent. It was, perhaps, the greatest asscmblege of men of wisdom and worth that ever took place on earth. Many good people believe, and they have good reasons for believing, that tlie destruction of the earth was post poned on account of the-I'ennsy Ivania mil- drivers. Had the world been destroyed on : the l'.'th of June, as already intimated, the J ninth excursion of the Pennsylvania lnill- j drivers would not have taken place on the ' following 21st, 22d 2!d and 24tli dfiys of ' June.

Who does not ad mire "the noble moulders of public opinion of the Keystone State My admiration for them is very great.

I have1 a perfect knowledge of the ability of many of the "tmhit hw.iii'ts of jmb lir opinion," and without fe.r of having mv words gainsaid, could with candor declare that, while many of them do commit a few familiar errors in grammer and are some what defe-ient in orthography, there is scarce ly oik of them competent to both read and write. Knowing my friend of the Freeman one of the luiiidiivers on whose account the world was not destroy cd, and knowing that his great modesty will keep him when quill ing his report of the excursion of the noble moulders of public opinion from doing full justice to his luot hers of the quill, I am pleas ed to do it myself, feeling assured it will be properly appreciated, ami for which all will be profoundly thankful. While ;)c;if(7,M7 on the subject of y u ill ilr; -ii7 it wiil not be out of place to remark that the heroic lieneral William Tecurnli Sher man has tak-n to the quill. I regret being constrained to say that as a q ui 1 lest, how ever, Teciimsli is a miserable failure. In as suming the quill hu has made a great mistake. It is only in tin hands of mighty men, such as the Pennsylvania quilldi ivers, that the quill is mightier than the sword, lieneral William Te-cumeh Sherman should therefore stick tj the sword and let thelquill alone. HIOH-TONKD POLITICS. The Republican Division Association of lilt; 4l!i division of the Seventh ward of our city, comprising in its bounds Aurora street and Cranberry ami St raw berry alley--, have heaped upon Hon. John Welch, ex-Knvoy Extraordinary and Minister rienipotentiary to the Court of St. James, the Presidency of the Association. There was great enthusi asm over Mr. Welch's election. Having had heaped upon him the highest honors the Hayes administration could confer, his con stituents, of Aurora street and Cranberry, Raspberry and Strawberry alleys, ami other parts of the city, the known resorts of any but the high toned element which Mr. Welch prefers for associates, determined, as the. crowning glorv ami triumph of his life, to make him the President of their Association. At the meeting there was no discount on ac count of color, and thu dinky delii.ens of Kaspberry and Cranberry gladly welfomed their President as a man ami brother. The association after much speechfying and en thusiasm offered and passed a resolution providing that hereafter "any person ap ieaiiiig at the polls without a collar, or in a borrowed shirt, be ostracized ;" also, that full dress, suits and silk umbrellas shall be the only election day toggery. There was so much enthusiasm that even' the defeated candidate 'se, 'em up" and joined in the shout for the new President. Think of the humors of reform.

THE NEW SEAT Or GOVERNMENT. New Jersey has been cynically called a foreign country by Republican leaders, lie cause the State goes against them in elec tions, yet almost every one of them makes it a brandy and watering place. President (irant made it the executive headquarters during the heated term, and Presideit (iar tield is following the precedent set by Presi dent Grant. Although not making Long Rraneh as pleasant through an aggregation of caravansaries and cottages as the great cift-taker did, he is nevertheless making it the executive headquarters. The next Con gress will be likely to take some formal action towards an official recognition of Long Uranch being made the Summer capital of the United States. The Cabinet is now by the sea-side, Blaine alone being left at Wash ington to attend to affairs, with a special wire to Long Branch. This is Garfield imi tating Grant. Grant's Long Branch govern ment was made a formidable weapon of by the opposition wherewith to bring odium on his administration, but it seems Garfield is not indisposed to copy the famous Grant regima in transferring the seat of govern ment to Long Branch.

Then be. made the same charge in a court of law, but the jury believed he was seeking revenge because she had refused to give him some property, and the verdict was an acquittal. Because the Pennsylvania Legislature at its last session passed a law against any discrimination in the -public schools ot the State on account of color, the Chicago Jour nal concludes that the fact of the neceesity of such a layv does not speak well for the people of this State, but the fact that the legislature had the courage and good sense to pass such a law speaks well for that body. There is a wonderful hen in Columbia, a light Brahma fowl owned by G. F. Rathvon. A day or two ago the hen laid three eggs. They were distinct, with soft shells, but linked together.

On the following day the same hen laid a perfect egg in every respect which measured nine inches around the long ends and seven and a half inches around the sides at thelcen tre.

Bv ex amining the last year's crowth of yYixid on that tree just adjoining the fresh green sprouting, yvell delineated horse shoes will be found at intervals of a few inches, the nails on the shoes being distinctly marked. Most probably from these curious natural formations the name of the tree has its origin. The centennial anniversary of the serv ing of the first Mass in Connecticut was ob served at St. Peter's church, Hartford, Sun day last. The first Mass celebrated there was byiAblx Robin, chaplain of the French troops under Knchamhcau, who were passing there on their way to the Hudson. In the Mass on Sunday last Bishop MeMahon was the cele brant, and Rev. Thomas O'Gorman, of the Paulist Fathers, Neyv Y'ork, 'preached the sermon. The New Haven Palladium says that on Wednesday night a young man by" the name of White undertook, for a wnger of S5 made with Tom Lynch, alias "The Skithereen Buck," to run ten miles in an hour and a quarter.
