Oor neighbor of the Democrat, seems in capable of comprehending tb difference be tween Jeffersonisn and a Jeff Davis demo crat This is not surprising in one who can see no difference between a onion and an unreconstructed reUl democrat ef tbe present day. We observe by the papers, that onr mem far Oen. Case, was stopped very uncere inonlontly, while attempting to make a peech on the 15th Constitutional amend ment on Wednesday of last week. The corespondent of the Philadelphia Prm, thus refers to tbe matter: The first speaker was Mr. Ease, of Nor thumberland, wbo, in a temporary season -of good humor on tbe part of tbe House, was greeted with bursts of applause of a rather sarcastic character. ' Mr. Kase progressed by slow and easy stages, reading a carefully prepared speech, but being of somewhat an excitable temper ament, several tiinps lost the thread of bis discourse, and found difficulty in resuming. He also found it necessary at intervals to viae a lemon to clear his voice ; but, at a momr.Dt when hit attention was attracted to his manuscript speech, some irreverent member filled tbe lemon with ink. The result was rather disastrous upon the next application of the lenion to the mouth of the honorable speaker, whose remarks immedi ately degenerated Into a rapid series of personal denunciations. Rolling up his manuscript, he retired into the cloak room irst, however, using the lemon as a missile to discharge at an adjoining member. Tbe ludicrous affair having toiminated, the regular Speaker of the Hons resumed bis chair, nud the orderly consideration of tha amendment was resumed. Tkk following article from the Minert Journal in relation to the discovery of new coal veius in the Shtmokin coal region, wltl be read with pleasure- by alt who take an interest in the development of our great mineral rcsourses : "A very valuable discovery of coal veins has been made on the luuds of the Fulton Coal Company, near BliiimnUin, by tbe En terprise Coal Company, lusaees. The veius discovered are tbe Lykens Valley or Frank lin, aud are sis and ten feet nine inches in thickucss respectively, free of all impurities, deep red ash, and somewhat harder than the Fraukliii of Lykens district. The veins underlie the "twins" (E. or the mammoth vein whicb is divided) of the Shamukin Coal Field about 200 yards, measuring at right angles with the dip, and aro overlaid by very heavy conglomerate rock. Tbe En tcrpriso have comtnencod tbe development (it both veius, nid intend erecting a first class breaker at once. The veins are reach ed by a drift near the centre of their tract, with a run of 1C09 yards west, and with breast 90 to 110 yards. They will also pro bably sink a slope on the top vein (10 it. 9 in ) at ouce, which will give them a ruu of 3000 yards on both veins. Tho basin of these veins is tbe deepest in the Shamokin C'oul Field, and will furnish five or six heavy lifts. Tho discovery by tin Enterprise of these veins at that point is particularly fortunate, as the. veins lie so deep in the coal formation, that they can seldom be reached in that Field except by deep and expensive shafts." j These two veins are evidently A and B, the two lower veins of the Coal flaslu, or a split of B or Buck Mountain Vein, though larger veius frequently divide at certain points.

To show fteadtrs how ft member of Congress It run flow b ky office banters, we publish tbe following sketch of the eituatloi of af fairs by ft Washington correspondent of tbe Philadelphia Prm, which is not overdrawn, bnt in some respects falls short of the reality t "Every office seeker has mode of operat ion which speaks volumes for bis originality, and which needs bnt one thing to make it easytnd successful, vis; that Gen. Grant, or some other patron, shall think bimes im portant as he thinks himself. A man comes on here, who is ft mighty fellow in his little village. lie is armed with lettcra from the squire, testlmouial from ft Grant and Col fat Club, a blank application, and two clean shirts; and as he kisses his proud wife good bye, to return postmaster, triumphant over dozen competitors, be blames himself for not having aimed higher. If Graot only knew his wortb, he, the applicant, would be a dispenser of post offices. One hundred miles from home, be falls ft peg; in Wash ington he is lost, and, estimating himself more accurately, he fears for bis chances. He finds that Grant will not read his glowing testimonials, and tbe Postmaster General files his application in ft box containing ten for tbe same place. His member of Congress, busy In the House end on the committees, has not made tip his mind ts to the proper matt for postmaster. Tremblingly the can didate calls at his rooms at night, to see the member alone. Alas I there are twenty more important-looking men there, each begging the member's particular influence for b particular place; besides this, there are-1 two ot Ms rivals present, ana lie begins to think of all tbe mean things bo ever did, and wonders if tbey will be offered in evidence against him. Besides all the visitors to an noy him, be looks on the piles of letters on tbe member's table, and he is startled when the member tells him each letter is an ap plication for an office, to obtain which the heads of departments and the President must be called on, and the claims mentioned in the letters are, as a rule, "I am your con stituent, end voted for you once," twice, or three times, as the caso may be. Tho candi date for postmaster fritters his time away in Washington forming resolutions to see and press his claims on big men, which he never carries out, and, at last, when the clean shirts aro thoroughly soiled, and the candidate's money spent, he returns to his village but little wiser or better. Soon be becomes vain again, and, by a torrent of buncombe letters, tries and secures what be failed to do in person. Your correspondent has of late been fre quently at tbe rooms of a friend whose mis fortune it is to be in Congress at this time, and to honest thinking men who heretofore may have felt themselves slighted by his not replying to their letters, I will give a sketch of the manner in which tbe gentleman pass es his time, and the same may be said of nearly every man in the Beuate and Congress, and in it tbey can see an excuse for apparent neglect. Eight o'clock is not late to rise when a bardworked man stays up till one or two in the morning. This is the case with the gentleman referred to, who rises to Cud some half dogen applicants waiting for his influence before breakfast. lie rushes away from them in time to meet the same number at tbe door of the breakfast room, the chums of each so important as to require the mem ber's immediate presence nt one of tbe de partments, lie succeeds in getting in to break f ns t, nervous and excited. A feverish sleep is a poor appetizer, but he knows he must eat, though he would rather sleep. But even at the table he finds himself attacked. Some of the nspirauts have gained admission, and the wretched member gulps down bis food while he listens to the pressing claims of some man w hose strength lies not in qoal ideations, but in fact that ho has been insane enough to vote with the party he deemed right. Breakfast over, tbe members walk from the room with an office seeker ou each side, one wanting oioi to go to tho Navy Depart ment, the other constituent desiring that he start for the Interior Department at once or bis case is lost, and this accompanied by an intimation that in case of failure the Repub lican psrty will lose a vote, more particular ly 'be member in question. At the door tho troop is augmented by fresh arrivals, some of them on tbe morning train, still big in their local importance. Tho Congressman must go to the Treasury, and in one half hour attend tho meeting of one of bis com mittees. Up to tbe Treasury he is dogged, and after be leaves it he is again followed. The committee room is sacred, and he finds rest in its work till twelve o'clock, w hen tho session begius, and with it another attack from tho army of oflice seekers entrenched in tbe lobby. Letter after letter aud card after card, ate sent in through the doorkeepers. He is perhaps iuterested in a question before tie House, and feels it im portant that his views should be recorded, but excited and annoyed by the paper billets he rushes out to see some man whom he fctils it to be his duty to see, and in the lob by another attack is made from men with piles of papers and leugtby and self laudato ry applications. He puts them off "call at his rooms in the evening ; he will see them and do w hat be can." He enters tbe hail of the House again to be reassailed by the cards and claims of a score of new arrivals, and be yields again to tho clamor." Thb National Ciieuit. The first bill signed by President Grant was ''an act to strengthen the public credit," which was passed by the House of Representatives by a vote of 97 yeas to 47 nays, aud by the Senate 43 yeas to 13 nays. Tho law is as follows: L'c il tnactikl.etc, That in order to remove any doubts as to tbe purpose of the gorcrnmcut to discharge all just obligations-to. the public credit, and to settle conflicting questions and interpretations of laws, by virtue of which such obligations have been contracted, it is hereby provided and declared that the faith of the United Mates is solemnly pledged to the payment in coin, or its equivalent, of all tbe interest bearing obligations of the United States, except in cases where the law authorizing the issue of any such obligations has express ly provided that the same may be paid in lawful money or other currency than gold or silver; but none of aucb interest bearing obligations not already due shall be redeem ed or paid before matuiity, unless at such time United States notes shall be convertible into coin, at tbe option of tbo holder, or unless at such time bonds of tbe United States, being at a lower rate of interest than the bonds to be redeemed, can be. sold at par in coin ; and tbe Uuited States shall also solemnly pledge its faith to make pro vision at tbe earliest period for tbe redemp tion of Uuited States notes in coic.

We suppose that tbe Legislature will adjourn iu two weeks from this time, but there is still time enough to pass a law opening tho dams on tbe Sus quehanna for the admission of shad and other migratory fish. This duty, it having bean decided, if done at all must be done at tbe expense of the state, bow well it would rook if tbe many bad schemes before the Legislature would be thrown aside and this one to restock our streams with fish would meet prompt action of the Legisla ture f The report of Col. James Worrall, the State Fish Commissioner, having in charge the Fish question, for a copy ol which we are indebted to Mr. Ilamersly, the attentive Clerk of tho Senate, is a very interesting document, and were its sugges tions carried out many of the streams of the State would yield such an annua! supply of ffsh as would prove of the utmost impor tance to the sumptuary welfare of the people. His suggestions that trout should be taken only between the first oj April and the first ef September, exactly meets the question ; and another prohibiting destructive modes of fishing, such as by "baskets," seines, &c., cannot be too highly recomeuded.

A horrible murder was committed hers yesler day under peculiar eirenqtstancee. Jiarly yesterday morning ft mis threw himself into the Del aware and drowned. Subsequently hand kerchief wai found la the water bearing tbe name of BJackatone. Thie afternoon the body wee recovered and found to be Black atone, Of the firm of llureton ek Blackstono, picture frame makers, 913 Market street. The body was sent to his bouse in the ex. rreme northwestern part of the city. Arri ving there the parties found another party of police in possession, and that Blackatone'a wife and two small children were dead, chopped to Diecca with an axe. It appears that previous, to committing I the act, yesterday, Blackstone wrote a letter to his wife's father, in Connecticut, saying that he bad killed bis Wife and children and would kill himself. Parties in Connecticut, this 2 p. m., then telegraphed to the police authorities here, who went to the bouse and found the dead bodies as before Stated, aud were investigating the case when the dead body of the father was brongbt in. On Blackstone's body was found a paper stating that be bad been robbed and was ruined man, and giving this as tbe reason for tbe deed. Tbo wlfo appears to have been killed while lighting a fire in a stove, on Monday morning, as the neighbors beard a noise about that time. The children were killed up stairs, and carried down stairs and laid at the feet of the mother. Blackstone was probably insane. FURTHER PARTICULARS. By inquiry of the proper persons, we as certained at a late hour last night that the report that the defalcation of a clerk caused the insanity, murder nnd suididc, is not true. The deficiency in the cash account was a comparative trifle. Besides, the father of Mr. Blackstone, who lives in Madison, Con necticut, is worth $10,000 or $50,000. It is now believed that the sole cause of tbe mur der was insanity. Blackstone lived on the best terms with his wife, was very affection ate with bis children, and to everybody kind and liberal. He was temperate, moral and a strict church member. But for some weeks be has acted strangely, though no one seems to have suspected that his mind was affect ed. These, at least, are the statements of those who were intimate with him, and ac quainted with bis business relations. It has also been ascertained that about six o'clock on Monday morning a next door neighbor heard a dull, thumping sound in Blackstone's kitchen. She thought that Mrs. Blackstone was moving tubs, and gave no further thought to the matter. The bodies of the entire family have been removed to the bouse of Cyrus Home, un dertaker, Eleventh andMaiket streets. Horrible Murder. A shocking murder was committed in the Twentieth ward, Philadelphia, at an early hour ou Wednesday night of last week. The scene of the murder was "Girard Hall," corner of Sixth street antl Girard avenue. Joseph W. Smith, the janitor of the ball, a young man aged about twenty-eight years, was found there dead, and under circum stances which leave no doubt that he was foully murdered. When discovered be was lying ou a table in bis shirtsleeves, wtap pud in a quilt, his lees and arms tied with a rope, and gagged by a handkerchief tied around bis mouth and head. He was shot in the bead, over the right temple, with a pistol ball, and the pistol, a four barreled revolver, was fouud by bis side. The GMe says : "Tho table was covered with blood, aud his face aud bands were much scratched. There was a broken chnir in the room, which is a ball used by societies, and sever al boards were fouud torn up. The Inst seen of the deceased was about four o'clock iu the afternoon, and shortly after a pistol shot was heard. Tho deceased wns a bin gle man. The cae is enveloped is much mystery,, and tbe whole lorce of the detectives is engaged in etvlouvoring ti ferret out the murderer. Deputy Coroner Fletcher has the pitdol, handkerchief and sash in possession, awaiting developments. This is one of tho most cruel aud barbar ous murders that we recollect ever having been committed in this city, and every effort w ill bo made to find aut the perpetrator. The most intense excitement prevails throughout the neighborhood, and an exci ted crowd surrounded the home and gath ered in the neighborhood dining the night, talking over the tragic affair.

Davidson, on the territory leased him on Church Hun, about ono mile from the city. Tho parties were engaged iu preparing a torpedo for one of the wells. While Griffin, Todd and Bills were standing about the torpedo, jarriug down the charge, Col, Davidsou was about walking toward the door. It is thought that the charge contained about six pounds of fulminating powder (Cul. Davidson's iu veution,) while about twenty additional pounds weie lying near. Tho explosion re sulted from percussion, and the shock was preceptibly felt all over tho entire city. The building was, of course, blown into fiag meuu, and its inmates, with the exception of Mr. Davidson, were instantly killed. Their clothing was almost entirely stripped from their bodies, w hich were shockingly lacerated in every part. A crowd of men was speedily gathered from tho vicinity. Col. Davidson was found to be conscious, but utterly helpless, und experiencing tho iutenscst pain, liis right thigh was severed to the bone, as though laid open by un axe, and his chest, back, arms and bead were covered with ghastly burns, his face burned to a crisp, and the sight of one eyo destroy ed. His first inquiries were concerning the fate ot his companions, whom bo feared were moro severely hurt, and desired that tbey should be attended. A litter was con structed, upon which as speedily aa possible he was borne to the Bush House aud placed under medical treatment. The remains of Gritiin, Todd and Bills were conveyed to tho city, and placed in charge of the acting Coroner, Justice 8trouse,aod an inquest was in progress last evening.
