Tlie Senate of Pennsylvania took a new ileparture yesterday in rejecting several gubernatorial appointments en purelj partisan grounds, and raised an issue which may yet prove very embarrassing te the Republicans in thai body and throughout tlin fitntn. TliUilrtes nor Cfrm In ntmlv In b-'the case of L. P. Ashmcad, nominated for trustee of tlie Norristevvn hospital. Against him there were personal objections which must havebeen weighty, as lie could only command three votes from the Demo cratic side of the chamber. Mr. Themas J. Walter, auether Philadelphia appointee te the same position, failed, but net for the lack of Democratic suppeit. He is net a conspicuously fit man for such a trust, nor n citizen of rarely geed judgment and discretion. But he lias a geed repute for honesty and lias done very effective work in the reform movement in his city ; and it was this circumstance, no doubt, that stirred up the opposition te him, and which renders the failure of Ids confirma tion discreditable te these who beat it. But it was iu the treatment of two aj aj peintirients te the petty position of notary public that the Republican majority in the Senate showed the cloven feet, horns and forked tail. Of all the governors we have ever had Gov. Pnttisen has least made u political office of that of notary public ; lie shows the minimum of partisan dlsciim dlsciim inatien in his appointments te it. Gov. Heyt used te say that he appointed all com ers, regardless of politics, and when he had named four hundred a year, at a revenue of $20 for eacli commission, he would say he felt that he had earned his salary for the commonwealth. But it will be easUy remembered by the people of this city that for many years past only a single Democrat was ever appointed notary public in Lancaster city, under : long line of Republican governors ; and it will net be ferg&tten that some years age sucli in tense partisan interests controlled these ap peintments, mat a itepuiiiican governor refused te re-commission Marriett Browns because he did net suit the bosses in each aud every particular. e believe it has been the rule of Gov- cnier Fattisen te appoint all applicants of capacity and geed character. At least the record stands this way in Lancaster : Republican notaries public : IIurIi S. Garn; Clias. Ti Leus; J. U Lyte ; Jero Itlfe; A. A. Hcrr ; J. IX. Wickersliam ; AI. Slienck; Harry Carpenter ; Win. Hendersen ; G,n A. Lane j It. J. Evans ; Clias. Kline ; Win. ltoelim. Democratic notaries public : Jehn A. Ceylo ; Jehn Ii Malone j Chas. K. Wvntz ; Rebert Clark. It would be no exaggeration te say that the Republicans here have, tlnee-feurths of the patronage of this oiliee ; they probably control at least two-thirds of it thiougheut thef te; Governer Pattison has ceitainiy appointed moreof them than of Democrats": and assuredly no governor lias ever signed eue-titird as many commissions for ap pointees of the opposition a3 he lias. New the Senate, by a solid Republican vote, refuses te confirm two of his ap pointees simply because they arc Demo crats, and because lie chese te send in their name3 before he sent in theso of some Republican whom Senater Huff aud of another whom Senater Somebody else wan ted te be appointed. Against ilr.Maichand of Westmoreland, no allegation whatever was made, save that he was a Democrat, and Huff wanted a Republican. In the case of Stene, from Juniata county, it was shown that he had been a Confederate sol dier; and tills was pounced upon as a pie tcxt by such feather-headed wavers of the bloody shirt as Osberu and Gebin, and narrow minded partisans like Cooper, te rally their party te the defeat of the confirmation. Of course it was a mere pietext. At this distance from the war and after conspicuous Confederates have been,aguiu and again, elevated te iiositieiis of high importance by the Republicans, such opposition te a notary public ap pointee is as baseless as would be the ex clusion of its subject from a dry goods clerkship or a clerical pest in u bank, for like reason. Ne soldier who was net a coward andue senator who was net a sneak would cherish such a sentiment. The issue raised jesterday was nut whether an ex-Confederate is fit for civil office, but whether the executive shall be coerced into making eiie appointment by the refusal of a partisan senate te continu ing another. There is no dispute that had Gov. Fattisen named the ether notaries asked for, Stene and Marchand would have encountered no opposition. He did exactly right te defy the bulldozers; and he can afford te de It te the end. The Tax en Alcohol. Whatever may be thought of the pioiio pieiio pioiie ftition t,e wipe out the entile internal revenue tax, It will luirdly be gainsaid that the Philadelphia drug exchange is right in dVckulug that the tux ou distilled spirits, entering into medical preparations and the mechanical arts. Is " excessive, U-hm about rtglxtimes the cost of production, A tax , excessive, se demoralizing and se Invlt V'iug te fraud, can have no excuse, except in f tJes of public peril, or as a war measure, f or in some stressef public need, tp supply a -' 'deplete tieasury, or te limit the prnduc-r-tten of the article." The Justification of the tax enwhhky "and nil inconeuo unnie istuat theyare i" luxuries, and MOm who Indulge in them J 'ought t$ pay the tav te help supjwrt the ('t government. MtfllBO', no such reasoning apptfa te the alcohol which is such a large constituent of most medicines and which enters into the preparation or composition of n vast variety of cheinlcnl, ceMnctlcs, perfumeries and similar nrtieles, whose cost is enhanced by high-priced alcohol, se as virtually te cxclude them from foreign consumption. On the ether hand the foreigner net only getn our alco hol for consumption at about SO per cent, of its cost te the American consumer, but he can manufacture it into compounds, ship them back here at a tariff which does net make up for the internal revenue dis crimination, and our home Industries an put at a disadvantage. Misalleged that if the druggets' alco hol were freed from tax it would be bought nnd-uscdns a leverage, but the I'ngjisii have shown that it can be unfitted for a beverage while all its qualities for mechan ical and medical puiiH)c,s remain uiiim paired. The complaint of the druggists is reasonable and the remedy is practicable. Fight"rulr. The Philadelphia JteW lias a couple of antipathies which de it no credit, because they are entertained against these very notably able and honorable men. Trunk Gewen and Jehn Kelly. The Uecertl is entitled te its opinions of men however fallacious ; but it sacrifices its fame in defaming them. It would command much greater esteem for its opinions if it was mere careful te use fact instead of fancy as its weapons of offence. It is assuredly untruthful in it te say that the new managers of the Reading propose te lock their doers en Mr. Gewen. and tliat President Kcim intends te step out. and that Mr. Sjyre is booked te step in. And it is extremely silly te say that Jehn Kelly " has accomplished nothing except the dis organization of his party and the demorali zation of the public sen ice." Mr. Sinserly is fortunate if he has done as little in the way of demoralization as Mr. Kelly. As Mr. Gewen and Mr. Kelh, are both partic ularly distinguished for the honest . vigor and determination with which they con duct affairs, the suspicion arises that the.-e attributes me net these which the conduc tor of the llemnl loves when they counter against things that he loves lietter. A mtti.b dynamite- in Kis.i s mouth would ! the right article In the right place. Se mi: pitiless v-.irchcr for truth lias been looking up Jetrersen's record for domestic economy and private, niggardliness, mid he announces that his diary contains page after page or entries for wlncs purchased barrels el turn, hogsheads of Cognac, pipes of .Madeira "tOO betts. champagne, 400 DellO ile was a peer man, but during his eight years of executive offlce he laid out JII.0O0 for wines. 1j'i:n the churches hae been forued te recegulrethat times are net v bright at tUe prcsent period as they might be, and the singers and organists In the ciiy ihurchcs aie bowing te the nei-essities of tlie situation Iu a diminution of their salaries. A New Yerk correspondent writes that a prominent organist iu that city has been notified thai lie would hae te accept $1,000 per minimi less than he had lccn receiving, nnd many pro fessional singers h.ive been dispensed with. When churches take the lead in economy, the private cUl7.cn may leel that he ranuet qe far w reng iu doing likewise. Tnu Republican senators of l'unnsyUania (teem te regard the " bloody shirt " as the national ombleni. It will be geed news te learn that these twoglndIaters,fi ranger R.H.Themas, of Cum berland county and Majer Lewis, of I'ike county, hae settled their differences aneiit the expected appropriation of 10,000 for Pennsyh aula's exhibit at the Xew Orleans Lxjiesltl m.

This is an excellent consummation, for Pennsylvania has need of all the unity possible te save her credit at the great Southern Exposition. If the New Orleans peeplu dumped the Liberty Hell Inte the Mississippi, It would boasseusible a proceeding as the rejection of Stoue by the Republican Senate of tills state, bimply because he had been a Cen. federate soldier. Tiinni: Is perhaps no class or bread-winners wlie work harder than conscientious journalists, mid yet they lead a tery precar ious existence Unlike empleyes iu mer cantile establishments, the best of them can be dismissed nt mi instant's notice, without materially disturbing the throbbing llfoef the gieatest vchiele of modern education en which they may have ie!it the best iurt et their lives. Changes of proprietorship ettcn introduce new faces Inte the editorial rooms, and faithful workers whom lives had glow n up around their papers nrn thrust out te shift for themselves as best they can. In the still hours of the night the journalists en the morning papers, are telling while the rest of the world is sleeping. Their literary exlsteucu is merged In that of the papers oil which they nre employed, and th"lr most caielully prepared uerk, meritorious though it be, jiasies Inte the common journalistic stieani te live but twenty-four hours.

Thia couple had several sons and daiightei-s flue of whom was tlie ancestor of Mrs. Mehrer. One of the tens went te Ireland and in time became a bishop, and by his theological work i and otherwise, she "ays, amassed a fertune of ?l,000,0ea lie died in Kdmburg about twclve years age.

A light In the window was broken, and by the aid of a torch the interior of the car could be seen, but no ene was vWble, though a bootblack kit was noticed imme diately in front of tlie deer. Some of the trainmen who peered In expressed the opinion that Conductor Kearney was mistaken about having seen a f.ice at the window.
