Among tbe many prominent Democrats
BimeU as prosier candidates for the nomina
tion lor Governor we notice with pleasure
tbe name of John IUla of Westmoreland.
As .1 Senator and member of the House of
representatives at Uarrisburg, he won ad
enviable distinction for statesmanship, abili
ty and honesty. In 1874 he was fleeted
.lieutenant Governor ot the State, and has
performed the duties iinpjssd upon him by
the amended Constitution with credit to the
larty aud the State. His rulings as presid
ing officer oi the Senate have been lair aud
creditable.
! It should also be remembered that he rep
resents a portiou of the State that is entitled
to more than a passing recognition in future
conventions. Our Democratic gains have
all been made west of the Alleghecies.yet
the east dictated the nominations of Wood'
, ward, Clynter, Packer, lluckalew, and I'er
shlng. With Latta as a candidate for Gov
ernor in 1878 wo could go into the con
test with a reasonable prospect of success.
Packard has done one reasonably decent
thing by tbe expulsion of Pinchback from
the Louisiana Republican organization. The
Packard State committee has formally ex
polled Pinchback by a vote of 22 to 4.
Now, if Wells would just rise up and have
Packard expelled, and then Casey would
turn in and have Wells turned out, and then
Slonaker would tat-e a hand and have Casey
tumbled overboard, and then Kellogg should
tip Bloanaker out of the temple, and then
Pitkin should oust Kelloze, and bo on, un
r til, the whole crew of carpet-bag and scalla
wag plunderers had demolished themselves,
there would be a rather small Republican
party left, but it might be able to prove
, that it's possible for Republicanism and re--t
speclahllity to get within sight of each oth
t , er Id the State. Let the good work proceed.

DON CAMERON.
The Republican of yesterday says t
On Tuesday the Hon. J. D. Cameron was
clecteil U. a. Senator from i'ennsylvanla by
13 majority In the Senate and 12 in the
House over Senator Dill, democrat. Again
the democrats are not satisfied. Why should
they be, for the son is a worthy successor of
an Illustrious sire.
Of couro tho Democrats are not satisfied,
for the reason that a more shameless net
was never before committed In the halls of
legislation than the election oi Don Oamo

States Senate. That tho son i n worthy
successor of his sirn Is an admitted lact

From the Lauaiilu Lyuircr, Rep.
All the triinbers oi tho Legislature from
Lancaster county attended the caucus at
Harrisburg aud voted for J. Donald Camer
on for Senator. The mildest statement that
can to made, in counectiou with this fact is,
that in a) d-jing tbey misrepresent heir
constituents.
From the DfUwaro County JieputtK-jin :
We shall not stop to consider or discuss nt
present tho eflect that tho elecliou of the
younger Cameron, under the circumstances,
will have upou the future politics of the
State. It U more, wo believe, far more than
the Republican party uro prepared for or can
stand. A rovolt may take place, and if the
course of the most influential newspapers
in the State is any indication of coming
events, resistance has already begun.
Fred. Douglass was nominated by Pres
cient Hayes to be Unites! States Marshall for
tb District of Columbia, and the Sen
ate confirmed the nomination. The du
ties ef the office require him to act as
' muter oi' ceremonies at the White House re
ceptions, and to perform the duties of Sheriff
Tor the courts. It pay be that Hayes did
not know that Frederick would have a place
at bis right hand when ho received visitors on
pablio night, but some one else, did know it,
' and there was strong opposition to his ap-
polntiuent to such a'post. Douglass' name is
rather unpleasantly connected with Freed-
men b Dank crookedness,- and a tew other
little jobs, and it looks as though Rutherford
, had made a mistake.

The Young Winnebago Chief.
At the ripe age of throesooro and eighteen
Simon Cameion retires from his chair in the
United States Senate to plot mischief and
play tricks elsewhere. In the go d time com
ing when honest men shall bn in' a majority in
the Senate, and when tho great State of Penn
sylvania snail begin to smash Rings and send
publia thieves to the penitentiary, tho chair
occupied by Simon through all these weary
years will be taken out and burned, to get rid
of tho odor of rottenness which must ever as
cend from it
But for the present, Simon will be succeed
ed by his hopeful son, J. Donald, the young
Chief of the Winncbagos, whose path thus
far has been as tortuous and whoso moccasins
are said to leave as slight a print as his wily
father's. He has been carefully brought up
to regard himself as the hereditary chieftain
of that predatory tribe, and has been educa
ted accordingly. He has been surrounded
from bis earliest youth by tho most expert
and light-fingorcd of his father's people ; and
was employed at a very early age in the man
agement of various attacks upon the public
propertyof tho State. He stands, therefore,
at the head of the Winnebagoe", not merely
in virtue of his natural heirship, but in vir
tue of his approved skill. He will succeed
without the least disturbance. Bob Mackey,
and Bill Kcnibic and Truax, and Rutan and
all the lesser chiefs, whoe lodges are buist-
ing witli plunder, acquired in many raids,
have accepted him with great demonstrations
of joy, and renewed their oaths of perpetual
fealty at ,a mighty feast and war council on
the Susquehanna. Tho tribe has been cau
tiously purged of all opposition to the ruling
family.
There was an old chief, named MoMichael,
who had beeu pretty well battered ia the
wars, and who has long complained of the
unequal divb-ion of the spoils, but he has had
his tongue bored and -been sent about his bu
siness. There was also another fellow named
Forney, who was called the half-chief, and
was never observed in the fight but was al
ways seen elbowing his way to the head of
the feast. Ho was a great whin er, ond had
ficquently wandered, away from the tribe iu
a huff; but he never failed to return when
lean and buugry to feed around the kitchen
and revel in hcraps. This Forney remember
ed a contest of bis for the chieftaincy with
the aged Simon, when he was ownrouieby
the lavish distribution of wampum among his
faithful followers, an i he was now somewhat
disposed to oppose tbe heir on account of that
ancient feud ; hut nobody paid any attention
to his doleful whimperings, and ho has once
more withdrawn from the tribe till his belly
shrinks again. With theoo trifling excep
tions, there is no trouble about the suoceseiou
of the happy Winnebagocs, JV. Y, Sun.
The Path of I'eac.
Nothing now stands in tho way of tho im
mediate fulfillment of the pledges as to tha
South given to tho country by President
Hnycs in his inaugural address. Evory bar
rier has bocn broken down J tho verdict of
tho nation lias been given in advance, and it
only remains to lot lawand ord rivmie their
sway in tho States which b.ivc m long known

Another week will prohihly soc tho the fall
of the curtain upon tho drtunn of usurpation
iu the South. The course fir the administra

Southern jiolicy thau for a Western policy or
au Kastcrn policy. Let tho constitution of
tho country and the laws made thereunder be
the guide of the President in dealing with
South Carolina and Louisiana as in dealing
with New York and Ohio. The whole coun
try thrilled with indignation, even in the heat
immediately following the Presidential cam
paign, when Rugcr and his friends took pos
sesion of tho Capitol at Columbia, and as
sumed the right to pass upon the credentials
of members of the Genera) Assombly and to
eject those who were not provided with pass
ports from the Superintendent of tho peniten
tiary. Those troops aro F-til I in possession of
the Capitol of Sonth Carolina, whilo the
Governor sits in a hirod house to perform
such duties as the military power deem not in
conflict with a contract cxastcd at the point
of the bayonet In Louisiana a cordon of
stacked muskets surrounds the State House,
aud tho rightful Governor and Legislature
may not pass it witnout defying the authority
ol the United States. In a few days Presl
dent Hayes will fulfill his oath to support the
laws of his country and execute the pledges
still fresh on his lips by ordcriug these sol
diers srom the Capitol to the barracks in cith
er State. He need do nothing more. The
rest will do itself. The usurpers will surren
dcr their , ill-gotten gains, ami, imjiclled by
consciousness of villainy, leave the prostrate
States for new fields and jxastures green. No
blood will be shed. The legally elected oifi
oen will perform their duties unimpeded and
with a care born of the knowledge that tho
eyes nf the country are upon thorn. Life will

OCR 11ARR1SBDIIU LETTER.
ItARUisnORd, March, 21st, 1877.
This has been ono of the most exciting
weeks of tho session. On Monday night
there was a sort of free fight lu tho House
over tho bill to prohibit the Sheriff of Pliili
delphla from appointing deputies lobe pres
ent at election polls. A special sckslon to
consider this bill was ordered by a majority
vote to be held on Monday night ten min
utes after tha hour of iidjoiirnu.ont (11 o'
clock) of tho regular session. Tho Demo
crats Insisted tint it n quired a two-thirds
vdto to order a special session to coiuld
er any bill out of lis regular order. The
Speaker decided that It mil' r quired n inn
j rity. Th"ii tho fun eomnic n il d. The
l).'ino':mt' b-'cini' frantic ami denounced
the Speaker as a"htill-dnz"r, 'a "fraud" nnd

smiled emphatic illy amid Ihx u infusion and
the war-like demonstrations nnd in spile cil
the frautlj objections of the Democrats, de
clared tho res dutton ordering a spe-ial ses
sion adopted. When the regular session
closed, the Democrats went home and did
not put in an 'ippc.iraucd at tho spei l.il ses
sion which met ten mi iiileafterivard. So
tho Republicans hsd things all their own
way and the bill in quotfi 'n was passed and

tho vote of every Republican member pres
ent except Air. Mapes. of Venango, who did
not vutent all. lu fact tho Republican votes
was more unanimous than the Democratic
two Democrats not voting tor tbe caucus
nomiuee.
The local option bill came up in regular
order and wns summarily kicked out of tbe
liouso on Thursday lost Its introduction
and discussion caused the wildest excitement
and for a time the House was nothing but a
noisy rabble. Tho bill was amended so as to
submit tbe question to a vote of the people
of tho whole Stato instead of by counties.
Tho bill thus amended was defeated by a
voto of C3 yeas to 109 nays.
Aa the session nears its close and legisla
tion draws to a focal point matters of gener
al political importance outside begin to en
gage the attention of politicians and numer
ous candidates aro mentioned for the vari
ous Stato otfices to be filled at the coming
election. Tho olficere whoso terms expire
under the workings of the new Constitution
are State Treanursr and Auditor Genera,
and by the inscrutable working ot Pro
vidence that of Supreme Judge. Tbe
present incumbents of tbe two first otfi
ces aro ineligible for re-election and conse
quently new men must take their placos.
The gentleman who will bo the next Re
publican candidate for Supreme Judge Is
pretty well settled. Hon. J. P. Sterret ol
tVllegheny will be placed before the people
for election to the position which he now
holds . by Gubernatorial appointment. For
Auditor General on tbe Republican side,
several prominent gentlen.en are mention
ed; among them Howard J. Iteeder of
Northampton, Galusha A. Grow of SumU0'
hanna, Edward Scull of Somerset and J. A
Passmoro of Schuylkill.
For State Treasurer, tho Chief Clerk of the
Treasury Department, Capt. W. B Hart,
seems to bold the winning cards.
There was some talk during the last week
of extending the session of the Legislature
until tbe 31st of March, but most of the
members seem so thoroughly tired of Uar
risburg and its surroundings that I do not
think they can bring themselves to tbe point
of prolonging their stay for another week.
Monday was the last day upon which bills
passed in the House could be transmitted to
the Senate, and rice vtrta. The House is
consequently now engaged in the considera
tion of Senate bills and tho Senate Is wrest
ling with House bills. There aro about 400
bills still on the House calendars that cannot
be acted upon during the present tession.
All these bills will retain their places on
the calendar and the business of the next
session will be taken up wbcro it is left off
by the present one.

Washington's tomb was recently opcncsl in
order to institute some necessary repairs. The
unusual weight of tbe rarcophiigus contain'
ing Washington's remains aroused tbe curios
ity of the official who was sujcrintendiug the
work of removal, and it was decided to open
the sarcophagus in order (o ascertain the
cause. This was done and the lemains were
fuund to be petrified ; in fact a solid stone re
sembling a statue, tbe features perfectly nat
ural, with the excoptiou of eyes and ears, no
trace of which can bo seen. Tho body is of
a dark leathery color, and may be said to
be a soft sand Horn, which would likely
break should an attempt be madu to remove
it from tho sarcophagus. Edward Baker, an
aged colored man, who has rosided upon the
farm since he was a boy, aud who assisted iu
removing the remains from the old tomb to
the present one, suited that it Is thirty-eight
years slnoo their lust removal At that timo
they had rested in the old tomb thirty-eight-
years, and were exhumed iu n stato of preser
vation beyond all expectation, bojng a solid
compact mass, with the skin ilrawu tightly to
the hones, iictrification no doubt haviug com
meneed its work. The sarcophagus was again
firmly closed an I tho repairs to thu tomb
completed.
A warning story of folly and crime comes
from a small interior town of Pennsylvania,
where a young girl ol resectable parentage
tbe daughter of a bank cashier opened "cor
respondence with a view to matrimony'' with a
stranger in New England, to whom she wag
subsequently married, without the knowledge
or con"cut oi her parents.. Tho married

last week a first wile, who hail ), e deserted,
with her children, when tho husband married
bis matrimonial corrcsioidetit, visited him
at his home, and establishiug her daims to
protection, tho nsxnsl wife .vas in turn de
serted. She felt disgraced by th result ql
her girlish folly, and, driven to despair, killod
herself, ending in a tragi) manner a story
lull of warning to tho.-o who aro tempted to
enter into any kind of relations with a stran

us that of marriage.
Life of St. Patrick.
Last Saturday was St. Patrick's day. Al
most as many countries arrogate tho honor
nf Laving been the native soil of St. Patrick
as made n similar claim with respect tn Ho
mer. Hcotlund, England, Krancoand Wales
each furnish their respective pretentions.
Ireland s apostle was born in tho year 372,
nnd when only sixteen years of age was car
ried off by pirates, who sold him into slav
ery in Ireland, whero his master employed
him as swineherd In tho well known moun
tain of Sleamlsh in the county of Antrim,
Here he passed several years, during which
timo he acquired a knowledge of tho Irish
language, habits, etc. Escaping from cap
tivity, be was successively ordained deacon,
priest and bishop, after many adventures
reaching the continent ; and then once more,
with the authority of Pope Clementine, he
returned to Ireland to preach the gospel to
Its then heathen Inhabitants.
A popular legend relates that the saint
and his fullowers found themselves one cold
morulDg on a mountain, without a fire to
cook their breakfast or warm their frozen
limbs. Unheediug their complaints Patrick
desired them to collect .a pile of ice and
snowballs, which having been done he
bi-eatbcd upon It, and it instantly became a
pleasant fire a fire that long after served to
point a poet's conceit in some love-lorn
lines.
Tho greatest of St. Patrick's miracles was
tiat of driving tho venomous reptiles out of
Ireland and rendering the soil forever after
wards so obnoxious to the serpent race that
they instantly dio on touching it. Colgan
seriously relates that St. Patrick accomplish'
oil this feat by beating a drum, which he
struck with such feryor that be knocked a
bole in it, thereby endangering the success
of the miracle. But an augcl appeared and
mended the drum, and tbe patched instru
ment was long exhibited as a holy relic.
When baptizing an Irish chieftain, the
venerable saint leaned heavily on bis cro
zier, the steel-spiked point of which he had
unwittingly placed on tbe great toe of the
converted heathen Tho pious chief, in his
ignorance of Christian rites, believing this
to be an essential part of the ceremony, bore
the pain without flinching or murinur,t hough
the blood fiowed so freely from tho wound
that the Irish named tho place Struthfhuil
(stream of blood.)
Poteon, a favorite beverage in Ireland, Is
also said to have derived its name from St
Patrick ; he, according to a legend being
the first who instructed the Irish in the art
of distillation. This, however, is, to say tbe
least,doubtful ; the most authentic historians
representing the saint as a very strict pro
moter of temperance, if not exactly a tceto
taller,
The shamrock, or small white clover, ia
almost universally worn In the hat, over all
Irelund, ou St Patrick's day. Tbe popular
notion is, that when St. Patrick was preach
log the doctrine of the Trinity to the pagan
Irish, he used this plant, bearing three
leaves upon oue stem, as a symbol or illus
tration of the great mystery.

The latest invention in smokers' article'
is an electric cigar lighter. It is a small steel
instrument resembling a pisto,with a woolen
wick running through tho barrel. By ad
justing nnd pressing on tho trigger, enough
electricity is produced to ignite, tho wick.

NEW ADVERTIStMENTS
Dancing is going out of fashion. A few
years ago young ladies considered it extreme
ly mortifying to be obliged, from tbe want of
a partner or from a less important reason, to
keep their seats through a dance, but at
present it is comme il faui to remain quiet at
least part of the evening. Flirtations arc
said to be more uumerous than eyer.

Ap-
The Presidential family of Mr. Hayes con
sists of Mrs. Hayes and three children Webb
C. Hayes, aged 19 years; Fannie Hayes aged
8 years ; aud Scott ltu-s-el liuyes, 0 years.
Tbe two oldest of the four sous of President
Hayos are away from home, oue of them at
tending the Cambridge Law School, aud the
other is a rueiuLex of tha junior class of Cor
nell University.
There now seems no doubt that an extra
session of Congress will have to be called,
on account of the failure of tho Army Ap
proprlation bill. It Is claimed that subsistence
und clothing for the army could bu furnish
ed under existing Uw until the regular ses'
slon of Congress, but the officers aud men
cannot be paid after Juue SOlb, tbo cud of
the fiscal year, without an uppropiUllon by
Congress lor the purpose. The total amount
reipairtd to pay the army is 12,635.t76. Al
though the ineu might be fed and clothed
until IWcember, tlio failure to puy them
would cuue great diatlfaction and much
privation, u they aro forbidden by law to
fcypoweeaie weir pay.
The civil rights bill should be enforced at
the White House. Fred. Douglass has beeu
appointed Marshal of tbe Distrnt of Colum
biu, but he is not to officiate at the presiden
tial mansion ut public receptions as white
marshals bavo always done. Is Mr. Douglass
a peer or a vassal ? 1 h littoral commis
sion should be called together at uuce to dolor
mine the exact official status of the colored
fuuetiouary. Though Fred's color and hair
may be aliunde the immortal eight would in
all probability decide that Mr. Hayes has no
right to go behind tho oertificato of his ap
pointment for tbe purpose of denying him tho
rights .of a marshal of the District of Co-
-iUiicrf.
Tweed and Sweeny.
It is definitely stated by parties in inter
est that negotiations are pending for tlie re
lease uf Wm, Tweed from jail ou the same
conditions as those Ik the case of Elbert A.
Woodward, viz., tbo surrender of his prop
erty to satisfy as many claims against him as
possible, aud his appearance as a witness
when required, agalust other members at the
ring, Tweed s evidence Is noedel more espe
dully lu tbe suits against Sweeny, aud in
this connection It is stated that the agree
ineut of the attorney general guuranueelug
Bweeuy Immunity from arrest during a cer
tain period will prove of no avail. The
agreement does not affect the courts, and
will not, it Is said, prevent court officers
from executing their processes in the Swee
ny ease. A geutleman well iu formed in
these matters, Is authority for tbe statement
that.Swecny will not be allowed to leave this
city until tbe suits against him are settled,
whether he testifies iu other coses or not.

News from Japan, per steamer City of
Peking, says there is an Insurrection in the
province of Satsuma, The insurgents nro
believed to be mostly men of the Samsiiri or
gentry class, who are dUsatlsfied with tho
condition of comparative obscurity iu which
the great social und isilitical changes have
left them. Their number is variously esti
mated at from three to tea thousand, It is
currently reported that their movements are
directed by tbe celebrated statesman and
soldier Salgo Elder, brother of the recent
comminsiriner to tbe Philadelphia exhibition.
Of this rumor, though confidently reported
on all sides, no positive proof is given.
Large bodies of troops and strong naval
forces have been sent against tbo rebels un
der tbo general command of the Imperial
prince ArlsugauaUbe emperor's uncle. Col
lisions have already taken place at Kumauto,
