important events in the history of tho United
States, aud it will he conducted on a stupen
dousscalo never before equalled in tho his
tory of tho world. In addition to this, a
very interesting matter to all good citizens
will bo the Presidential campaign which
will open in July, by tho meeting of tho
Democratic National Convention to noniln

be ono of tho most important periods of our

THE DlFFEKENCti.
England, notwithstanding her enormous
national debt, has an nbundaneo of money
for business purposes, and is glad to mako
loans at from 3J to 4 tier cont.
Franco, displte her tcrriblo disasters in
tho Prussian war has restored her credit,
and paid off her war indebtedness.
The supply of gold In the vaults of the
Sank of Franco continue to increase,
amounting at present, in round numbers, to
325,000,000, said to he the lurgest amount
ever held by any single institution. Tho
French currrency is now at par.
Yet in ihe Unlied States, tho largest coin
producing country in tho world, gold com
mands an average of 114, and through de
fective legislation tho credit of our Govern
ment is lower than that.of most European
governments. It is time that the remedy
should be applied to this evil.
WUKUKFOBK?
Last week we published an articlo from
the financial columns ofJthoV showing
that in London three months bills were
languid at 3 J per cent discount : Tho Ledger
of monday now says :
The demand for monoy continues light,
and the aspect of the market is unchanged
here or elsewhere. The bankB continue
quite troubled to satisfactorily place their
large surplus. We still quote call loans
easy at 4(ii 5 per cent, strictly first-class two
name paper at C per cent, strictly lirst-class
single-namo paper at 5(,G per cent, do. do.
on lirst-class ponds and stock at bQlG per
cent, do. do. on second-class bonds aud stock
at C(ifJ7 per cent.
Such being the fact. .
We would like to know why good paper
in tho country towns cannot be negotiated
at 0 per cent, and with difficulty at 8 or 10
Some of this superfluous capital should
como into thointerior for investment.
Legislation op Domestic iNTnnnsi.
Two bills wero introduced iuto the Penn
sylvania Legislature which have a certain
domestic interest. They were:
. An act to punish persons for pointing or
discharging firearms at other persons in this
commonwealth. Section one makes this act
nmisdemeanor, whether kdono playfully or
otnerwise, and fixes the penalty at not ex
cecding $1,000, and imprisonment not ex
ceeding three years, upon conviction of tho
ouencc.
An .act allowing certain personal proper
ty of tho debtor to bo exempt from lovy
and tale (supplement to law 18491. This
bill gives a mechanic or other persons the
furniture, tools and other inplcments nec
essary Scarry onlhlsbulness; nlso tho library
of a professional man and tho necessary
provision and fuel for a family for three
months, also all pictures maps and family
libraries and cemetery lots or rights of bu
rial.
Massachusetts paid something less than
iivo iiunureuuonnrs lor the conveyance o
Vice President Wilson's body from Washing
ton, tb is amount covering llm -ntlro
penditures of the funeral committee going
and returning. The lioston journals very
naturally cannot understand why it cost
Philadelphia nearly seven thouand dol
lars to have thebodyllein state for a few
nours cn route In its passage from Washing
ton to New England. Ji-est
lue reason is plain. In Massachusetts
the people have plain, old fashioned ideas
about economy, Philadelphia on tho con
trary is controlled by a set of Itcmiblicau
rlngster, whose principal duty is to rob their
city, tho btate and stuff ballot boxes,
Their efforts to accomplish these purposes
nave been constantly sustained by tho Jeu,
JUDGK McCANDLESS.
By a press dispatch we learn that The
Senate Committee on tho Judiciary have
decided to report favorably upon the hill
retiring Judge McCandless, of tho Western
district of Pennsylvania, and it ileanied
from an authoritativo source that Hon. W,
W, Ketchum, now representing tho Luzerne
district in Congress, will he appointed to
the vacancy. Judge Scofield is his chief
competitor.
Wo think this action of Congress is right
as Judge McCandless has outlived his use
fulness.
CENTENNIAL UKUATH.
On Wednesday last the Centennial appro
priation canto before the Senate and was de
bated at length, but no vote was. taken
The friends of the Hill aro sanguine of suc
cess.
A fire in New York last night destroyed
nearly tho whole block bounded by Ilroad
war, Grand, Howard and Crosby streets,
Nearly thirty buildings wero consumed, and
the Joss is estimated at $3,000,000. Three
firemen wero killed nnd several others wero
injured by falling walls.
IIKUTIM! TO INDKliTKltNCSS.
Tho following bill has been passed by tho
Senate: That tho existing Indebtedness of
any county, city, borough, township, school
district ornlhermunlclpallty or Incorporated
district within this commonwealth, evinced
by outstanding bonds, certificates or notes
issued prior to t.ho 20th day of April, A. D.
1875, may bo provided for as tho same
shall mature-by n re-Issue to tho holders of
such outstanding bonds, certificates or notes,
If they shall agreo to receive tho same, or by
tho issuo aud sale at not less than par of like
bonds nnd certificates of indebtedness as
thoso outstanding on tho said 20th day of
April, A. D. 1875,cxcept as hereinafter pro
vided that such bonds, certificates or notes
shall hear interest at a rate- not exceeding 0
per centum pcrnnnum,and may be ro-lssued
or Issued redeemable at tho pleasure; of tho
obligators at any tlmo within thirty years
from the date thereof, nnd It shall bo the
duty of tbo proper corporate authorities of
such municipality or Incorporated district to
assess and levy a special annual tax, not ex
ceeding five mills nn tho dollar on the
assessed valuation, tho collection whereof
shall commence Immediately after tho pas-
sago of this act,to pay existing indebtedness
or tho first year after such bonds, certificates
or notes aro re-issued or issued aud sold, and
which" shall bo sufficient for nnd applied ex
clusively to the payment of tho interest nnd
principal of such indebtedness, bonds and
certificates, within a period not exceeding
thirty years from tho date of such Indebted
ness bond and certificates so rc-lssucd aud
sold; provided further, that the provisions
of this act shall not bo so construed as to
authorize a re-issue of any bonds or certifi
cates which were issued for alleged advance
ments of money in the building of state
road or roads tho legality and validity of
which Is now questioned by legal proceed
ings In any of tho courts of the common
wealth, and provided further that this act
shall not apply to municipalities tho amount
f whoso legal indebtedness Is limited in
their respective charters of incorporations
and supplements thero to a well as those
not limited.
This bill, whilst general in its terms is
really local in its application, and intended
for our mining districts. In effect it post
pones the payment of creditors at the will of
tho "obligators" for thirty years an aver
age life time, and would bankrupt not only
many municipalities, but tho holder of their
obligations. Wo trust1 tho House will care
fully cxamlno tho bill before is is permitted
to pass.
Tho jlnuch Chunk Trials.
This trial has, in many respects, been a
most remarkablo one. Not only has out
raged law been vindicated but vindicated in
caso that may rack at present among the
cautet celebre of murder trials. In the great
majority of cases in tho UnitedStatc3,murder
is committed for tho purposes of gain 5 or as
an adjunct to other crimes such as robbery,
rape, etc., to avoid detection j or by persons
in an intoxicated condition ; or through
motives of personal revenge. Put this case
is altogether different. Theso men were to
tal Btrangers to tho murdered man; they had
so far as known, no personal animosity
against him ; hut they wero the tools of a
lawless organization known in Ireland as tho
Black Militia," and in this country as the
Molly Maguires" or "Buckshots." For
years this association has been the terror of
Schuylkill and adjoining counties. Any
person falling under the ban of this gang
was speedily doomed. Tho secret workings
at their conclaves of course is not known,
but it is supposed that tho persons selected
for tho job were drawn by secret baliotrom
list made up ot btrangers to the locality,
and a guide detailed to assist them. That
this was the case in tho present instance is
lorally certain, as tho cvidenco given goes
to show. Heretofore the actors in these
outrages havo escaped, their plans having
been well matured and skillfully carried out.
There seemed no possible chance of detec
tion. Tho Catholic Church had thundered
its anathemas against them with but little
effect. A formal sentence of excommunica
tion lias been pronounced, but tho associa
tion still flourishes. But in this case, proba
bly relying upon the potent name with tho
terrors attached of the "Mollies," a murder
was committed in such a bungling manner
that no great skill was required to truce the
perpetrators, and they wero speedily arrest
ed. Monoy has been lavishly furnished to
secure an acquittal, but the facts in the caso
,wer too plain to admit of any doubt.
Thus tho first blow against this gang of
outlaws has been struck, and if followed by
swift punishment, will havo more effect in
preventing a repetition of this order of
crimes, than all tho gubernatorial procla
mations and church anathemas that havo
been or will bo fulminated.
There docs not appear to bo any general
feeliugs of viudictiveiicss against tho pris
oners, lhcy aro considered by tho majouty
of peoplo as the guilty ones, and as such
they should bo held as examples. Demo

Instead of Hanging
The Scientific American discusses hang-
ng as a modo of capital punishment, and
proposes n substitution of electricity for tho
gallows. It recommends tho following as tho
way in which to have executions conductci
"The battery and coil should be of sufficient
strength to deliver an eighteen inch spark-
In caso of there being more than ono person
to execute, all of tho condemned would be
conducted, with all due ceremony, to the
place of execution, tho left hand of ono man
handcuffed to the right hand of his neigbbo;
and the conducting wire fastened to brace
lets on the disengaged wrists of both crimin
als, if only two aro to bo executed, or to tho
wrlsfs of tho outer men if more than that
number are to suffer. Tho culprits being
seated so as to ho seen by tho legal witness
es, the Sh erlff presses the button. The cur
rent is instantly established from tho coil
passes through tho bodies of tho men, and
all is over."

In 1872 when this same Hartranft was u
candidate for Governor, no paper was more
bitter than this samoiVco. His connection
with the Ring was proven. His connection
with tho Evans swindle was reiterated day
after day. His complicity with tho notor
ious' Kemble, and "Dear Ycrkes" was shown
by his own letters. His speculations with
State fund), and criminal neglect as Audi
tor General to collect from certain corpora
tions taxes due the State to the amount of
TiirtEE millions op DOLLAitswere fully ex
posed. The iVf then proved beyond tho
shadow of a doubt Hartranft's connection
with the infamous Philadelphia King. Bu
now it wants Hartranft for President. Four
years have so debauched it, that It would
have the man elected President whom it
formerly proved waa guilty of the worst
crimes in our iiolitlcal calendar. Verily,
"consistency is a jewel."
The Itciioiiilnatlon or (Irnnt.
It is conceded by tho New York Jterutd
that plumes Itself upon forecasting public
events, (which, however, wo find as often
incorrect as otherwise, In tho majority 01
tho prophesies), that U. S. Grant will bo
nominated at Cincinnati on Juno 14th, 1870 J
mid tho Democracy of tho country can, with
somo degree of l.ilth, wo think, accept this
opinion pf the Herald, as all probabilities
point to that rc-ult. We havo never had
any doubts of Grant's deslro for a third
term. Wo havo never had any doubts of his
strength In tho National Convention of his
party j and wo find tho Jleratd thus sum
ming up his chances for tho nomination :
"President Grant holds tho Republican nom
ination nt his mercy j tho united volo of tho
Southern delegates is within his control ; ho
needs only a few Northern delegates, and of
them ho can havo a surplus without tho
asking." Tho Herald challenges tho pro
duction of nny cvidenco that Grant's wish
for that nomination is not fixed and firm,
and wo havo had that opinion for a year or
more, aud to-day believe not only that ho
will get tho nomination, but tho Democrat
ic party will find him and Ills backers no
menu antagonists at tho ballot-boxes of tho
country, on that great battlo day. Wo re
gret to say that, up to this moment, thero is
a startling degreo of apathy discovered in
tho National Democracy. They do not
sccin to havo yet discovered that ono of tho
most Important elections is to como off,
that has ever taken place in tho history of
tho American people. There nro millions
of Democrats asleep to tho fact that this is
tho last chance for tho re-instating of n Jcf
fersonian government, nnd tho re-establish
ing of tho old Democratic prosperity ; if wo
fail this time, farewell forever to Democrat
ic principles.
Tho Day-Hook ha9 remained truoto tho
old landmanks of tho glorious past; but alas!
whero arc tho old millions of voters who
onco held thoso landmarks in reverence?
There has been, and still is, a most amazing
looseness of principlo in the co-called Dem
ocratic party. False teachers have poisoned
the minds of the generation now just entered
upon political manhood, and a most formi
dable host of yoters aro worshiping false
gods, and showing an npostacy that would
have caused their fathers to shed tears of
agony, and pour asiies on incir revcrcu
heads, from sheer shame. Wo tell you,onco
again, Day-Hoot readers, you who still hold
to the true faith, unless you go out into tho
high-ways nnd by-ways and awako the slecj
lug millions from tlicir apathy ,ourprinciplcs
will bo over-ridden by the corruptions in
November ncxt,and tho miii of that eventful

Uabcock's Trial.
St, i.oiiis, February 9. Acting under tho
advice of tho court tho government counsel
11 the Babcock trial to-day passed over tho
conspiracy in 1871 nnd 1872, and produced
testimony to show tho existence nnd opera-,
tionof tho whiskey ring from 1873 to 1S75.
No direct cvidenco was brought out against
General Babcock, tho testimony being
general in character, tending to show who
were in tho conspiracy nnd the extent. The
examination proceeded witli only occasional
technical objections from tho defeino and
ery little of tho testimony was ruled out.
John F. Siedentofl', tho foreman at Ul-
rici's distillery was put on tho stand. His
testimony related wholly to the operations
f the distillery of which he was foreman
nnd manager. It. W. Uirici and Kitzroy nlso
testified and their cvidenco was tho same
us has been published several times.
Mr. Storrs stated that tho defc-nso had in
tended to have tho personal attendance of
President Grant as a witness, and ns tho
case now stands, ho thought this would' not
be necessary, particularly as the exigencies
of public affairs require- his attendance at
Washington. He then proposed to the coun
sel for tho prosecution that they should
meet with tho counsel for "tho defenso nnd
agree upon questions and cross-questions to
bo put to tho President, and that tho exam
ination should bo mado before tho chief
usticooftho supicino court. Col. Dyer had
no objections. Mr. Storrs btatcd that they
lad their questions written out, and asked
the court to prolong tho noon session until
3 p. 111. to givo the counsel for tho govern
ment time to prepare their cross-questions.
This the court agreed to.
On tho re-asscmbling of tho Court, District
Attorney Dyer stated that the counsel for
tho Government had met the counsel fordc
fense regarding the questions to bo sent on
to Washington but they had not had time
to prepare their counter interrogatories. Ho
therefore asked the Court to adjourn until
to-morrow morning to afford both sides an
opportunity to properly nrrango their ques
tlons and cross-questions and that the conn
sel may leave to-night for Washington aud
arrivo thero in time to have a deposition
taken on Saturday and tho Court adjourned
until to-morrow.
A very curious bill was brought beforo tho
Stato Legislature yesterday. It provides
that in all first-class cities first-class pas
sengers shall not bo compelled to pay faro
unless seats are provided for them ; that the
seats in tho cars shall be partitioned off, and
that it shall bo a finable offense for a con
ductor or driver to receive passengers alter
a sufficient number is in tho car to fill tho
seats. Much as tho present practice of over
crowding cars is to bo deprecated, wescarce
ly think this bill a judicious one. In soino
respects it is to bo commended, but in others
It is unworthy of a moment's serious con
sideration. A street ruilway car will com
fortahly carry more passengers than can bo
accomodated with seats, and if conductors
wero compelled to restrict admissions to
reasonable numbers,tbero would bo no -light-
ful cause of complaint j but when a car that
will hold say thirty-fivo persons, withoutcx
cesslvo crowding,! crammed with passengers
to tho number of sixty or seventy, us is
frequently the case, then tho practice be
comes an outrage against decency and liu
inanity. We do not for a moment suppoao tho
bill will pass in its present form, but it is a
comfort to know that the Legislature has at
long last begun to take cognizance of the
fact that tho abuses of passenger railway
corporations could possibly bo u proper sub
ject fcr legislative consideration. The bill
ulso Imposes a penalty of $.000 for each car
not partitioned as rcquircd,wlthln sixty days
after its passage.

Somo most startling exposures havo been
mado lu the Senato of tho fraud, rottenness
nnd corruption that have characterised tho

was thoroughly ventilated by tho democratic
Senators, and tn their credit ho it until, som
republieansjoined them in tho work. But
under the act the money must ho paid. It
seems to ho exceedingly difficult to gel a

prominent men aro "working doublo tides"
to securo tho nomination of tlicir friends.
Senator Bayard is the favorite of tho hard-
mency men, but tho insigniflcanco of the
vote of his State, and the certainty that it
will go for any democrat, weakens his
chances and increases those of Tilden, whoso
friends claim that his selection is necessary
to enable tho party to carry New York.
Sherman's friends mako tho samo argument
for him as to Ohio, and claim that he is tho
only man from the west who can carry both
Ohio and New York.
Hendricks is now tho most favored by
the western men and by all those opposed to
immediate, resumption, it being admitted
that neither Pendleton, Allen, nor any oth
er pronounced greenback man can carry
either New York or any of tho Eastern
States. Judgo David Davis, of tho Supremo
Court, is frequently spokcn,of and he is more
feared by the republicans than any one clso

whole country, and has a record that cannot
