WUMKBDAT KVKMINQ. JUNE 27,1883. Mere Geed Werk. Governer Pattison baa vetoed tbe bills i-:n tn f.h ernvernment of PittS- burgh ; which were passed te provide net for Pittsburgh by name, but for cities of the second class, of which class Pittsburgh is the only one. Thegover Thegever Thegover ner finds objectionable things in tbe previsions of the bills, but sees in the at tempt te evade the constitutional prohi bition of special legislation, evidenced in making a " class " out of a single city, sufficient reason te disapprove the bills. He is undoubtedly right. The Legislature had no right te legislate specially for Pittsburgh. The con cen con stitatien declares that legislation shall i general. What is geed for Pittsburgh ought te be geed for any ether city. The Legislature has undertaken te say that a city as large as Philadelphia needs special legislation which a city of Pittsburgh's size does net ; and se puts it in a class by itself. It has declared again that Pittsburgh has need for legislation which neither the larger city, Philadelphia, nor smaller cities such as Lancaster and Ilarrisburg and Heading have. All this may be ; but if se, the constitution has forbidden such special needs te be heeded. It does net make legis lation less special te previde for Pittsburgh as the only city in a class, than te provide for it by name ; us it is net denied that the constitution forbids Pittsburgh te be specially legislated for, it fellows that the prohibition cannot be overcome by calling it a city of the second class, when it is the only one in the class. The supreme court may de cide this te be constitutional, but it is a question which every intelligent mind is as well qualified te determine as are the minds of the supreme court judges. If the Legislature can make a "class" of Pittsburgh, it can make one of every town in the state, for no two have the same population. It is very geed tli.it tlie governor is giving free vein te his common sense in cutting down weedy legislation. The blighting effect of an intelligent exumi nation by a single mind of the legisla tive measures, suggests the idea that there is a tee great abundance of minds engaged in legislative work ; and that if we had fewer legislators we would need fewer vetoes. The Question or Immigration. The question of the restriction of im migration is likely te be a prominent. one at an early day. Just new paupers are entering the pert of New Yerk in large numbers, sent ever, it is said, by tbe British authorities. It is net known that they are of any of the classes, of criminals, lunatics and persons liable te become a public charge, who are for bidden te enter the laud by the present national laws. They come ever without money in their pockets and may be come a public charge; but if they are physically able te labor, this cannot be sd predicated of them as tt. warrant their exclusion. There is a very large immigration into the ceuntiy of European laborers who come without money. Many are imported te satisfy the railroad demand for cheap labor. Car leads of Italians for some time past. have been daily fet down at rail mad stations near te the line of theiail reads new being actively built in this stale in the Vanderbilt interest. When the railroads are done with these laborers they will still remain te enter into competition for ether labor. Their advent is generally unwelcome te the community into which they come. They are net a very lovely class of men ; and it. wili be some time before they can be rubbed up into geed citizens. On the Pacific slope the industrious Chinese are tabooed, notwithstanding their valuable assistance in the impiovc impievc ment of the country. The anti Chinese feeling there is dominant politically ; largely, no doubt, because the Chi nese de net vote. The people whom the English government and the railroads bring into the Atlantic ports will vote some day and the politicians will incline te handle them gingerly. Still theic are in the situation elements calculated te give birth te a parly that will oppose further free immigration. It is even probable that neither of the existing parlies will care te continue te favor the admission of everything in human shape that pre sen Is itself at our ports, save the crazy and criminal. There may bu an agree ment in the demand for the revision of our immigration laws,se as te forbid the " further importation of the diegs of the population of ether countries. lie Wants Mere Help. Attorney General Brewster says that true it is that there are seventeen legal gentlemen steadily employed in doing the legal work of the United States at Washington, but nevertheless the work Is tee much for them aud he needs mere legal gentlemen te help him. We all knew that we never before had se costly an attorney general as Mr. Brewster. But then he is a first class man, who does things in a first class way He believes the legal laborer is worthy of his hire and that his chieftainship should be ever many laborers. Se mag nificent a head ought net te be followed by an insignificant tail. The eternal fit ness of things net enlydemands seventeen assistant attorney generals, but a proper company of special high priced twenty five cent-a-minute lawyers of th Bliss order. We are perfectly satisfied. We enjoy magnificence. It is a pleasure te contemplate our Brewster. lie finds se much pleasure in it himself, that his example is contagious. We hope Mr. Brewster will get all the assistant attor ney generals that he wants, and all the money he thinks he ought te have te pay them with. The trouble new is that he has run short of funds. It is discred itable te the country, but it is a fact that it has net provided menev enough te nnv i its lawyers. There is no mera disrenu- foHe nfnti,nn fi,e i ... table creature than ihe man wt. has net money enough for hts lawyer. The rich man who Is free in fees is an object of delighted consideration ; bat he who is stingy te his lawyer ranks little above the brute in the estimation of the profession. The beard of health wants mere power. It asks the city councils for it. It needs mere power ; but it ought te ask the Lord for it. The councils can net give it the intelligent energy which alone can make its services effective. Yebtebday the Virginia duellists ac cording' te the reports were te meet te day ; te day they are te meet tomorrow.

At Bedford yesterday a cloud-burst flooded the town, and at Shenandoah the collieries were inundated and the crops ruined. The winds and the waters are no respecters of persons or places. Senater Rollins, who is trying se per per tinaceously te secure his reelection at Concord, N. II., is making progress like the crab. He lest nine mere votes at the balloting of yesterday, and the apparent indications are that he will keep en losing until he has no mere. Mr. Rollins avers that he went withdraw, which may indi cate that he wants te go down with his sullied ensign flying. That the cholera is raging in the town of Datnietta, in Egypt, is net only a con sideration of importance bocause of its ravages at that place, but from ether and mero significant reasons. It is almost in the direct highway of travel aud improve ment in the eastern countries, and this situation makes it an ominous hindrance, even with the town quarantined as it al ready is, te the further advancement of progress in the Ease should it ba long continued. Tlie terrible results in times past of great plagues sweeping ever Europe are well remembered, aud fome of the most disastrous of them have had an i.iepiency which caused no greater alarm than does the present contaiieu at Dami etta with its probability of becoming the beurca of an infection that could sweep all Europe before it.

Tbe Face Covered AVltb lueuld and the Features Well Nigh Obliterated. Chicago IleraM. The guards are still watching the tomb of the late president. When the corres pondent walked up te the vault in Lake View cemetery containing Garfield's body a lonely and solitary private was patreling in front of the vault, with a tired and weary leek en his face. By the way he held his musket I should judge it weighed in the neighborhood of a hundred pounds. Inside the vault, near the entrance, is a tall silver vase, which is filled with beauti ful flowers twice each wcek by a florist employed by Mrs. Garfield. On the casket is a handsome wreath of immertelles placed there by Modjeska, the actress, when iu Cleveland seme months age. Near the wreath lies a sheaf of wheat, laid there by Garfield's father-in law. At the base of the casket lies the large palm that was placed en the casket at Elbcren en that warm morning in August when servi ces were held in the Franklyn cettage by the seashore. Fronting the tomb U a wire fouce, en the gate of which hangs a small box, which is used as a rccoptacle for small contributions by visitors te the Garfield monument fund. The avorage receipts are about $2,50 per day. At this rate it would net take many years te secure a goodly sum with which te build a modest monument. " Has any ene viewed the remains of the dead recently ?" was asked of the guard in attendance. " Yes ; the lieutenant in charge soes the body ence a month. Yeu sec, the officer having the body in charge is held respon sible for its safe preservation, and when the lieutenants change off en the first of eaeh month, the newly arrived officer un screws the plate that covers the glass ever the casket aud leeks in le see that the remains are still there. It is a most dis agreeable task, I assure you. The last time I saw the body there was every indi catien that it was rapidly crumbling te dust. The faca was covered with a white mould and the features were welbnigh obliterated." "De the relic hunters annoy you te any great extent. "Yes, they bother in terribly. They carry anything they can lay their hands en even the giass that grows around the vault. Fer this reason we were compelled te place a wire fence around the vault. In my opinion there was really no necessity for the placing of a guard around this grave The idle talk of four drunken men had mero than anything else te de with it. The night after Garfield's body was placed here in this vault the cometery ompleyo who steed iu the shrubbery near by guarding the vault was startled by four men who drove up and began rattling at the vault deer. One of the men claimed te be a United States officer, aud wanted te knew why no guard was stationed at the grave. The sexten threatened te pound him with a club if he didn't leave the grounds, aud the party retreated in geed order. When they returned te the city they started the report that an attempt had been made te rob Garfield's grave, and the government troops were hurried here from Fert Wayne and placed en guard." 11UKKS' HILL I'KOIUTKII.

Yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock was the time set for the public entertainment in Fulton opera heuse by the pupils in the primary schools under the lead of Prof. J. B. Kevinski, the musical instructor; and though the rain had been pouring down in torrents nearly all day, it did net pre vent the little people from assembling at their several school rooms, and marching te the opera house. When they reached there many of them were drenched te the skin, and their pretty white dresses and gay ribbons and feathers presented a rather limp appearance, but the children thorn- selves were as joyous as could be. Every primary school in the city was represented except MissLole Zug'sand Miss Cliften's. Oa account of the terrible rain storm that was prevailing, these teaehers de clined te allow their pupils te make the march from the school room te the opera heuse, much te their disappointment. The number of children who took part in the cencart was between GOO and 700. The smaller boys and girls, te the number of 400 or mere, took seats upon the stage, upon which had been erected long rows of benches, rising one abeve the ether, like the saats in the gallery, The elder boys and girls occupied seats in the front part of the parquet. The remaining seats in the parquet, parquet circle and gallery were open te the public, who filled the house despite the bad weather. The pregramme consisted of about twenty-five selections, some of the chorus, es being given by the combined veices of all the schools. They were very well rendered, the time, tene aud pitch being accurate, though the schools had ncver sung in rehearsal. Some ether of the selections were given by the respective schools, the German aud English school singing three pieces and the African school ene piece, all which were creditably ren dered.
