There is an army regulation, establish ed a couple of yeara ago, .which forbids officers to use political influence to se cure a change of their orders. It ap pears to bea rery good order, and if it was universally carried out in its spirit it doubtless would be a very good one. But it does not seem to be so universally carried out ; and it does not seem that it can be ; so that it is not a very good or der despite its good appearance. Major Taylor, stationed at Newport barracks, Kentucky, has found it to bring him a trial by court martial and a reprimand from the general in chief. Major Taylor made no defence to the charge against him, appearing to have come to the conclusion that it-would be inexpedient to excuse himself by show ing that there were plenty of others equally guilty who had not been hauled over the coals for their of fences. Whilethis case of Maj. Taylor's is before the public, their attention is also drawn to that of Gen. Sturgis, who was not long ago made superintendent of the Soldiers' Home at Washington, expecting the usual four years term, but was lately relieved and ordered to hu regiment in the North-West by the secretary of war. The cases of Major Taylor and Gen. Sturgis do not seem to be dissimilar so far; and they were alike still further; for General Sturgis also employed political influence to retain his place. But the similarity is not further continued ; since General Sturgis was not only not court mart ialed for the interference of Senator Conger we believe it was in his behalf, but lie ha3 secured the substantial advantage of retainiug his pleasant post. The sec retary of" war has revoked the order send ing him into exile. Why this difference of treatment has occurred is not explained. Sturgis had a Republican senator to interfere in his be half and IV y lor had only two or three Democratic congressmen ; but here the difference is in Taylor's favor because it is not clear how Democratic congressmen could exercise political in fluence over a Republican secretary ; whiie it is quite plain how a Republican senator influence would be political. In fact, the result demonstrated that the Democratic congressmen had no politi cal or any other effective sort of influ ence over the secretary of war, but that the Republican senator was potential. It can hardly be questioned that Gen. Sturgis violated the army regulation if Major Taylor did ; and we should very much -like to know why fish is made of one and flesh of the other. It seems rather bold at a time when the cases of both officers are up for public considera tion. An officer must obey his ordor, siys General Sherman, and if he thinks wrong is done him he can appeal through intermediate commanders up to the very highest the president. "To seek out side influence or to accept outside influ ence " is destructive of good discipline be declares. That is very fine talk in deed, but it don't butter the parsnips. When Major Taylor had gone away with his family and household goods into the wilderness he would have a happy time in conducting his appeal to the presi dent and a slow time getting back to Newport, to say nothing of the cost of the double expedition if he had been successful in his appeals. His way, and General Sturgis' way of getting somebody to help them before they wero shipped away recommends itself by its many advantages. And we would very much like to know what power exists in a commander-in-chief or a secretary of war to forbid a citizen to appear bsfore him to secure a change of an officer's orders, or to punish the officer for such interference of a friend' in his behalf; especially when his advocate is his representative in Congress. We greatly fear Hint this military regulation is very silly in its essence as well as its practice. A secre tary of Avar ought not to confess that any illegitimate influence can affect his discharge of his duty, and lie should not shun any legitimate influenc3. The scandalous exposures at the Phil adelphia almshouse are but Hie logical sequence of the Pattisonian system of reform that has made its influence felt in every department of the municipal government. One of the earliest acts of Mr. Pattison's official career as con troller of Philadelphia was to call atten tion to the abuses that he quickly dis cerned in the almshouse management, and to demaud that those responsible for the reckless waste and brazen dis honesty that he fouud to prevail therein be summoned to a rigid accountability. His keen sense and- the wisdom of his recomme.idations are more than vindi cated iu the story of wrongdoing that has just been unearthed. Pattison it was who originally struck tho lead that has just brought about these develop ments, and in the wider scope that wii be afforded him in the executive office of the state jobbers high and low will have reason to tremble, as the heads of so many of the city' departments are doing now that the controller's work is bearing its fruit and one of the chief priests in the ring synagogue has became a f uguitiva from justice, and his rascali ties exhibited under the calcium light that Pattison has succeeded in turning upon them. When Pattison want into the con troller's office in Philadelphia, the tax rate of that city was $2.2-5. The report he has just submitted to councils shows that a rale of $1.85 will be ample to meet all the legitimate requirements of the various branches of the city govern ment for the ensuing year. The elo quence of these figures ought to be con vincing. Since Mr. Pattison's incum bency tbrburdens of the people of Phil adelphia have been steadily lessened by a reduced tax rate. With such an ex hibit there can not be a doubt that Pat tison is doing better at bis desk than Beaver can hope to do on the stump. At least that is the way the people will be apt to look at it. The Democratic can-1 dictate is misting the ml issue of toil I campaign in a most effective fashion by faithfully adhering to the duties con fided to hlso, while his Stalwart competi tor dodges them behind meaningless platitudes that will not blind the voters. The Philadelphia Press is quite in error when it assumes to understand that we have charged that it must ap prove Senator Mahone's " arbitrary as sessments," because it has sustained him in everything else. It can find nothing that we have sai.d to justify it in that understanding of us. It is of course entirely right for the Press to ap prove what it thinks right in Mahone's conduct and to condemn what it thinks wrong. But it is responsible for the in telligence and honesty of its criticism. What we say is that the criticism it has made upon Mahone is not intelligent if it is honest, or honest if it is intelligent. In our opinion a journal that has been able to applaud all the things of doubt ful propriety that Senator Mahone has done has no room at all left to it in which to intelligently or honestly chal lenge the propriety of his " arbitrary as sessments." That is all. " When Folgku becomes governor of New York," Richard Crowley ia to have bis place in the treasury. Here is a case of counting chickens before they're hatch ed with a vengeance. A Philadelphia preacher wants to sell the church in which he is at present min istering, " because it is surrounded by Catholics and boarding houses and must bo removed," thus saying by actions louder than words that Catholics may grope in tho dark for hiiu, and that in mates of boarding bouses have no souls to save. The preacher is a queer bird, sometimes. Tue Utah commissioners have concluded tho work necessary to secure a thorough revision of the registration lists. Officers are being appointed iu every county, with deputies iu each precinct, amounting to over 350 in all, with power to purge the lists of every voter disfranchised by the Edmunds law. To accomplish this it be came necessary to direct that every per son, male or female, who, since the passage of tho law of 1862, has at any time lived in violation of said law, be refused tho rights of franchise. It is not expected that the result of the election will change materially tho existing condition of affairs iu the territory, the monogaraio Mormons being iu the majority. PERSONAL..

THIS tWO FCK CENT. LEVY. View or JJepartmeat OStdala. An assistant secretary of one of the government departments, while discussing the question of political assessments eaid : " As far as I am concerned I think the sys tem by which these assessments are made is a bad one, and, while it may assist the Republican party to prosper for awhile, it will be 'used against them effectually in the future." On being asked if he had been assessed he said he had, but declined to state whether or not he bad paid it In answer to the question whether those who did not respond to the circular would be removed, he replied : " 1 do not think the secretary would permit any such ao tion. We are giveu to understand dis tinctly that no one will be removed for non-payment of assessments alone. Of course a person may be dismissed on some trifling charge, when in reality the offense committed id against the campaign com mittee. Several Buch cases have occurred." He then went on to say that the best way for those who were disposed to contribute was to forward tho amount intended to the proper member of the committee, and thus be relieved from all the care and worry about the matter. From all accounts many of the assess ment collectors were not successful in their visits to the various departments In ono of the departments the employees aro abliged to go to the disbursing room and draw their salary, instead of having it brought to their desks in a yellow envelope, as is the custom in some of the departments. The collector who was detailed to shadow the above mentioned office sta tioned himself not far from the disbursing clerk's room, where, as he supposed, he could see all the employees as they passed out after receiving their money. He had a list of those who had failed to respond to tho mandate of Jay Uubbell, and he iu tended to remind them of tho circular. One of tho clerks recognized tho collector aud immediately passed the word to his companions to look out for the "2 per cent, fiend." Ail those who had not paid their assessments slipped out through a side door, and left tho collector wonder ing what had become of tho delinquents. A state department official said: "The stato department clerks have not yet been called ou, and will not bo, for our people give carapaigu collectors but little en couragement for their pains. Tho fact is, the state department is not a political department. Wo have no di sire to mix in politics other than international politics and questions of diplomacy. All I know about the assessment business is what I see in tho papers, hut, as I understand it, they depend ou the political departments alone" Another officer, the chief of an important bureau, said : Thcro was a pcrsou of the class you ask about here yes terday, but he remained but a short time, He simply asked for tho address ' of three or four men, aud then went away." Not withstanding this it is understood that a collector will give the stato department a call, and get inouey or know the reason why. --. BUIIMG A KAIXKOAU. The Mauulbal aud St. Joe Sold to a Jay (loold Syndicate. The control of the Hannibal aud St. Joseph railroad company was bought on Saturday by a number of men who have long been identified with the management ot tue union i'acihe and tho Wabash rail road systems. Among them aro Jay Gould, Russell Sage, Sidney Dillon, Frederick L. Ames and Washington E. Conuur, Mr. Gould's principal broker. This syndicate bought at 42 practically the who?o of the common stock of tbo com pany, which amounted, according to tho last annual report to 'Jl,uo7 shares. They bought about 90,000 shares. As tho pre ferred stock is only$5,033,024 they secured at once tho absolute control of the com- pauy. The sale was made by brokers who have been carrying about 90,000 shares of Hannibal & bt. Joe stock for John R. Duff, of Boston, vice president of tho road. Mr. Duff engineered a corner iu the stock about a year ago, but his broker, Hutchin son, defrauded him of most of the profits, and was in consequence expelled from the stock exchange. Tho Chicago, Burlington & Quinoy railroad had intended to pur- cnaso tms stock, and uau ottered. 01! Tor it. Mr. Conner secured the sudden callings in of loans made on it on a basis of 40 to 42 cents, and when tho holders rushed to get rid of the stock announced that he was ready to take it all which he did along with a big block of the preferred stock. The salo entails heavy losses, Mr. Duffs being estimated at $3,000,000. The Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific rail way has long desired to control this straight lino of 206 miles, for over its tracks must travel nearly all the western travel on tbo Union Pacific, Kansas Pa- cihc, aud Atchison, Topcka & Santa Fe railroads. Tho road has thrco branch lines, oue from Palmyra, Mo., to Quincy, IU., about thirteen miles ; one from Cam eron to Kansas City, Mo., about fifty three miles, and a third from St. Joseph to Wiuthrop, Mo., about twenty miles. The company was chartered in 1847, and the main line was completed early ia 1859. The branches were built under separate charters. It is understood that a change in the management will be made. The present directors, who wcro elected in November of last year, aro Myron P. Bush, of Buffalo ; H. II. Cook, William Dowd, Horace Porter, Elias Root, John R. Duff, John Bloodgood, A. C. Gorham and Wm. J. Hutchinson. Mr. Dowd is president and Mr. Duff vice president. m DUBLIN'S POLICE. They Conclude to Besame Their 1'otU Mob Violence. A dispatch dated Dublin, Sunday after noon, says : The police strike is virtually ended. Tho superintendent iu an inter view with the dismissed men advised them to draw up a memorial asking that they bo reiustated.and acknowledging that they committed a breach of discipline. This memorial will be submitted to the authori ties this eveniug, and there is little doubt that tho men will be reinstated with the understanding that their grievances will be investigated. Several street robberies were committed Saturday evening. The wounds of several persons injured in street melees were dressed at the hospital, but no injuries of a serious nature are reported. About fourteen persons who wero wounded in street fights aro in the hospital. Five hundred special constables were sworn in on Sunday. The mob attacked a special constable: Tho letter fired three shots and wounded a man dangerously. The mob thereunon attempted to lynch the constable, and handled him so roughly that he is not ex pected to recover. The mob became very violent and was charged by the troops. Several persons were wounded. The gov ernment offices aro iu tho charge of troops. In George street a tram-car, in which a special officer had taken refuge, was wrecked by the mob. Tho gunboat Forester has arrived at Kingstown, where disorders are appre hended. The authorities will advertise for recruits. This action is believed to indicate that the dismissed policemen will not be reinstated. At 11 o'clock Sunday night the streets were much quieter. m Mns.

THE, CAMPAIGN. rnasEs or the fight is this statm. Democrats Checkmating Stalwart Scheme A Labor SpUt Probable The Causes That Will Brlnjc It Aboat. The discovery that " Bill " Russell was paving the way for wholesale repeating for the Stalwart ticket in Philadelphia has caused the Democratic city committee to redouble its efforts to prevent the consum mation of the proposed fraud. To frus trate it they are having the different divi sions canvassed by paid men of intelli gence and honesty, who are specially en joined to ascertain if the assessors and su pervisors have properly performed their duty. Already it has been found that not withstanding the offers of rewards by tho Committee of Ono Hundred for information as to the violation of the assessment law by assessors', some of the latter have packed their lists. A notablo instance of this is the Fifteenth division of the Fourth ward, of which A H. Gamble is the as sessor. The assessment list of the di vision contains the names of eighty-one persons who, according to the report of the city committee canvasser, do not ro side there. This case is to be turned over to the Committee of One Hundred, aud it is expected that many similar ones will bo speedily developed. Special attention is to be paid, to tbo Nineteenth, Twenty sixth, Thirteenth and Thirty-first wards, where in past years repeating has been practiced .without restraint. Special can vassers will begin with those districts and continue tho work until every division has been carefully gone over. Chairman Har- rity says they propose to do all in their power to prevent " Jim" rtussell or tne other leaders of gangs of repeaters from carrying out their purpose, but at the same time he warns Democrats that if they aro not careful thoy will find themselves teft off tne lists in tueso localities. To night the city committeo meet, when further attention will bo given to tho sub ject. Tne predictions made on the lloor or the late Labor convention abont the drag ging of the workingmen into the mael strom of politics, are apparently about to be verified. Prominent men identified with trades organizations say that a breach has already occurred which may causo the Tradn aud Labor council to split in twain. These gentlemen assert that they have discovered since tho adjournment of the Concordia ball body that everything had been cut-'and dried, and that the Republi can state committee famished the money which.hrought about the indorsement of Armstrong, the Greenback candidate for governor. They say that many of the secrets of a clique which ran the conven tion have been divulged by men in their cups, and that more will come to light which will go far toward substantiating tho charges made before the meeting of a sell-out in the interest of Beaver. All of tho information which they have thus far obtained they are not yet willing to make public. They say, however, that the circular calling for tbo election of delegates was tbo hrst step in a schemo which had been fully perfected before tho paper was sent out. As to how tho split will come a promi nent representative of labor not in league with tho newly created machine said : "Senator Cooper used undue haste in pro claiming that Armstrong's endorsement meant Beaver's gain. Such a declaration can only tend to confirm the suspicion of workingmen who have heretofore acted with tho Democratic party. In view of these facts it is easy to seo how tho split will come, aud my only fear when it does come is that it wilt be tho death of the thorough system of Labor organization which, aftor months of hard work, wo had perfected iu Phila delphia and the state. But aside from this there aro other causes operating to widen tho breach already opened. The men who aro endeavoring, to manipulato tho Labor vote are tho offscourings of society and are nearly all Socialists. The independ ent, intelligent clement repudiate all the acts of theso meu, regarding everything they do as part of a plot to further their own interest. They know tueso men aro short of money, both as individuals and as a campaign organization, and there fore cannot comprehend any mo tive other tbau a corrupt ono for the course they aro now pursuing. Under all tho ciicumstauccs it is certain that there will ho an outbreak. Tho Trade and Labor council will bo tho first to feel its effects. Already tho Marble Polishers' association havo withdrawn their dele gates and I havo information that a num ber of others are prepariug to follow. A movement is also on foot among the more intelligent element, having for its object tho calling of a new convention to rescind the action of the previous oue or of asking the Knights of Labor to announce that that body was not at all interested in tho indorsement of Armstrong, Unless some such measures as these aro taken nothing can prevent a division. Cooper's boastful declaration will not bo verified, as the Democratic members of tho labor organi zations will desert Armstrong and vote for Pattison." - m Old Enough. Doylestown Democrat. " Too young to be Governor," with a a sneer, is tho way somo Republican news papers speak of Robert E. Pattison, the Democratic candidate. " Too young," eh I He seems old enough to make Philadelphia the best controller that city ever bad ; be is just the right age to say, 'I forbid," when a thief attempts to men money irom me treasury on a fraud ulent voucher. This is the kind of man needed at Harrisburg to put a stop to the plundering of the tax-payers, and Robert JS. Pattison is just old enough to do it, and will do it. "Too young!" They who talk thus forget both history and experience. All the great deeds of the world have been done by young men ; in every walk of life, from the battle field to the studio and the laboratory. Washington was but twenty one when he made his perilous journey to the Ohio through the wilderness of Vir ginia and Pennsylvania, and only twenty three when he saved Braddock's army on the Monongauela. Wolf was bet thirty two when ho gave the finishing stroke to French power in America on the Plains of Abraham, and Napoleon conquered Italy at twenty-Bix. When Thomas Jefferson took up his pen to write that immortal Declaration, which knocked the political shackles from the American colonies, he was barely thirty-three. William H. Sew ard was nominated for governor of New York at the age of Robert E. Pattison, and DeWitt Clinton was of the same age when he closed his brilliant career in the senate of his native state, and was elected to the United States Senate. Alexander Hamil ton was the confidential friend of Wash ington at twenty, and had made his mark in the cabinet of the young republic at the age of thirty-one. Our three greatest states men, Clay, Webster and Calhoun, were in the zenith of their fame, and a listening senate hung upon their words, before they were thirty-six. Give us young men. They have cour age, hope; are not afraid to meet re sponsibilities, and have the honest ambi tion to make a great reputation. Those who decry young men, are Bourbons of the Bourbon. The destiny of this country is in the hands of her young men. They made her past brilliant; and gloriously will they fill their future mission. If Pennsylvania is to be rescued from the po litical janizarieswhichhaveseized upon her, her immediate future must be intrusted to young men who have the courage to do right, and the honestyof purpose to reform abuses. Robert E. Pattison is the man for I the present ssurgency.

Ap propriations for all purposes were reck lessly increased without any apparent re gard for tho common interest of the whotc people, Tho sum total of appropriations for 1883 is $294,243,067, or $77,532,621 more than for 1882 and over $101,000,000 more than for 1881. The party which is responsible for this exravaganco has already begun to make voluminous explanations, in the vain hopo of beclouding the matter and making fiction play the part of truth. But truth hke murder ' will out" and the people justly murmured at his outra geous raid upon tho treasury. The ma jority had tho power to shape tho record of Congress, it could nave prevented this assault upon tho treasury had it seen fit. It chose rather to permit the gratification of personal arms than to protect the interests of the public. Theroisno earthly excuse for instanco for tho increaso of over seven millions in the appropriation for rivers and harbors, for thcro is an unexpended balance for lour millions of last year's appropria tion for that purpose. But it is useless for the people to murmur. They must act. Members of congress aro public servants and when they fail in their duty, their places should bo tilled by more competent and faithful men. Tho majority should be held responsible politically and the recreant members of the minority personally for the sins of this disreputahlo congress. Let the people prepare to record a just and mem orable verdict at the ballot box. Vot an Office Seeker. Enstou Argus. Mr. Pattison has pursued a dignified, manly courso sinco his nomination, giving the same personal attention to the duties of his office that ho had before his nomina tion for governor. He never sought the office for which he is now a candidate, and his actions sinco his nomination show him to bo a believer in tho doctrino that the peoplo should ho allowed to make their own choice from among tho candidates in tho field. The honor conferred on him by the Harrisburg convention did not turn his bead or make him to turn his back on tho trust tho people of Philadelphia con fided to his care, and the good sense he has shown sinco ho became tho Democratic standard bearer has "won him golden opinions from all sorts of people." If he is elected governor, of which there appears now to be no doubt, it can bo said with en tire truth of him that the office sought the man and not the man the office. MOUNT JOT.

Sides, a native and former resident of Strasburg, this county, recent ly died in Sterling, 111., whither he re moved in 18G6, together with his young wife and child and his father s family, and where, during the past eight years he has bad charge of the grain department in tho firm of J. S. Mitler & Co. During the present summer he and his wife visited in this city, being the guests of Dr. and Sirs. Geo. A. King, the latter a sister of Mrs. bides. Soon after their return home Mr. Sides suffered a partial sunstroke which superinduced congestiou of the brain, from which he died, as above stated. His funeral took place from his lato residence, northwest corner of Spruce street and Keystone avenue, Sterling, Sunday afternoon, the 27th inst., Rev. Mr. Brown officiating, after which the re mains wcro buried with Masonio honors, deceased being a member of tho order and of the Knights Templar. Tho funeral was the largest ever seen in Sterling. Mr. Sides was aged about 83 years, and a lifelong and devoted friend residing in this city writes of him that he " was emi nently social and genial to a fault, full of good humor and a most agreeable compan ion. In his family circle he was the em bodiment of kindness and contentment. As a husband bo was loving and affection ate, with a keen senso for the comforts of others,and those especially dependent upon him. He would rather give than receive. He was a model father, indulgent, tender and sympathetic. His homo was the centre spot upon which his great loving heart seemed to dwell. Bis leisure time was de voted to making that home pleasant and comfortable. Is it any wonder, then, that his bereaved wife and his four interesting, now stricken children, mourn their irrep arablo loss with bleeding hearts ?" A Straw Bide. A novel entertainment was given by Mr. Simon B. Cameron, of East Donegal, on Friday evening to about twenty of his lady and gentlemen friends of Marietta. He drove to town with' fonr of his majes tic looking horses hooked to a wagon, with Yanke's ladders covered with boards and topped off with a bed of straw, on which they took passage, driviug to Brenemau's woods, some five miles west of Marietta, where a colored campmeeting was in full blast. After seeing the sights he brought them back, arriving at half-past ten, and all agreed that "wo never enjoyed our selves more in our lives." Mr. Camerons friends are under many obligations for his untiring efforts to add to tho enjoyments of the season. Went Fishing.
