His arguments are stale, woak and puerile. Ho otj-ets to I ho hill boc.iuo it proposes to repeal the ex isting law allowing tho uso of Federal bsyo nets at tho polls whenever tho President sees fit to scud them there.

The other objection that it is a "rider" is ridiculous. Congress is the law making pow er and has the right to place tho repeal whero It is. Besides, the objection comes with bad grace from Mr. Hayes, who him&elf voted for the obnoxious law when in Congress, and when if wai a "nun-" to the Army Appro priation bill. As wo can do without the Ar my better than we cm without civil liberty, wo trust Congress will "stick" and throw the responsibility whero it belongs, on Fraudulent Hayes.

In a easo annealed from tho District Court for tho Northern Di.-trict of Florida, the Supreme Court has decided that a juror is not obliged to disclose on oath whether he took part in the rebellion or not. Tho eloquence of Senators Hill and Ilayard was wasted on a dead law. They are now threatening to starve the President into sign' lng a bill tor tho repeal of a law which is al ready inoperative and void. Such logio as that would disgrace tho dumbest boy in a back-woods debating socio ty. The Press says tho law is dead, therefore it ahould stand on our statute books and not be repealed. We believe that if thero are dead limbs on a livo tree, tho sooner they are cut off tho better.

He also voted for a reconsideration of the bill, but at no time did he vote in favor of it when there was any danger of its passage, as the bill did not reach third reading. We are positively assured that Mr. Vanderslice, never had any intention of voting for the measure on final reading, and tbat his object In voting as be did, was to assist in getting the bill in the least objectionable shape, be fore it could be passed. There are other reasons for his action on this measure which when fully known to his constituents we have no doubt will satisfy all tbat he was acting conscientiously and for the best Inttr ests of his people.

This was an action of I not actually sold might be taken on Govern ejectment brought to recover two lots of land I ment terms. The company claimed that In St. John's county, Florida. Among er rors assigned was a ruling of the lower court to tbe effect that certain Henry Holmes called to be a juror in this case was not obliged to answer any questions touching his qualifications under section 820 cf the revued statutes. Under this ruling Holmes declined to say whether he did or did not participate in tbo rebellion. He was chal lenged on the ground tbat he was disquali fied under the aforesaid section of tbe re vised statutes, and the court overruled tbe their land-grant mortgage operated as a bar to any such proceeding, aud this was tbe point which the Supremo Court has just settled. The decision Is in favor of the r.iil road company, aud reverses tbat of tbe In terior Department.

Tbe crime was one which in the opinion of this court he could not be required to disclose. If be were guilty the challenger bad the right to prove it by nny other competent testimony. As he did not offer to do this and as tbe jurors' incompetency was not proved tbe court was not bound to exclude him. Mr. Justice Field delivered a separate opinion, agreeing with the court but going beyond it ; the act in question belug, in his judgment clearly unconstitutional and void ; as a war measure the act could be sustained but in time of peace it was out of place aud Inoperative. Government have been more than protected: they have been enriched. That the United States should give practical encouragement to the project fur a trans continental railway was the with ot a great majority of our people; there was no disposition to seriously object when the Government was given the worst end of the bargain in most of tbe agreements Letween the people and tbe cor porations, for tbe great work of connecting tbe two oceans was one to bo fostered, even If somebody made money out of the trans action. But it could hardly have been the design of the framers of the act of 1802 to give tbe companies a title to those lands which only a deed o( sale could alienate, when they were so careful to fix such a limit as they did. Tbat the Court found tbe ques tion no easy one to decide Is evident from tbe fact tbat Justices Bradley, Cliflord and Miller dissented from the opinion as giveu, i'Ai'rt. JitcorJ. ATLANTIC CITY. To those who desire a health resort, or a seaside place for recreation no placo equals Atlantic City. I'ew places present such numerous attractions for tho mero pleasure seeker. Bathing in the open sea, or in sea water at private house4 ; broad avenues and walks extending for miles; dry, hard.smooth streets, and ten miles of level beach, with a drive to tbo open country; G-liing anl sailing from the inlet wharf at one end of the city. gunning in the bays, balls, soirees, cnnceits,a roller bkating rink admirably managed, what nature of pleasure or sport is wanting? Upon the character of tho place ai a resort for health uothiug can bo added to tho vol untary, positive expressions, over their own signatures, of 312 of tho most distinguished physiciaus of Philadelphia and vicinity. We doubt if tho unanamity of favorable opiniou exhibited thercin.cau anywhoro be paralleled. Supplemental to thoso conditions of a sat isfying resort, and of very special importance are its railroad facilities. In this respect At lantie City stands very high. The Camden and Atlantic Railroad Company meet tho in creasing demand with improvod cars and swift and moro frequent trains. Elaborately furnishedlpailor carsjnro placed on express trains, and their regular passenger cars, with their high, well ventilated ceilings, and supo rior upholsterings, aro exceedingly comtorta ble. As the season advances and travel in creases, trains aro from timo to time added to tho sehcdule,nnd the full tide of business in tho summer, besides numerous other regular trains, employs fivo daily through cxprets trains. Iheso express trains make tho trip, sixty miles, without stoppage, in ninety mm utes. Tho special caro in (he management of the road is exhibited in tho regularity with which they run, the close connection arranged for and maintained with other companies by which transfers may be mado without delays, and tbo almost entiro absence of serious acci dent in Iho history of tho road. For several years tho company have made an effort to meet travel from points beyond their own linc.and tho schedules aro now always arrang ed with the view as far as possible of serving, bycloso connection, the conveniences of par ties orrlving from New York City, and poiuts on tho New lork lines, and upon thoso com lng upon tho numerous lines centreing in Philadelphia. This company- is specially a pattenyer railway company, and to satisfy this Yesterday I went to the reporter's gallery of the Senate to hear tbe speech of Senator Pendleton, of Ohio, in favor of glvirg mem' bers of the Cabinet seats on tbe II or of Congress. The junior Senator from Ohio who has been given tho lobriquel of Gentle man George, and who was a prococious presidential caudidate ten years ago, looks like a man of fuce, handsome, and not over forty-five, though I believe he is quite lllty He speaks like an orator, indeed ton much like an orator, I mean his style was too en crgelic and impassioned for a suljcot that was merely didactic and argumentative. He should not have said undisputed things about the duties of cabinet oflicers and the execu live in such a fiery way. But I criticise ouly the manner, the speech was excellent, and evidently, appreciated by the entire Senate without respect to party. Senator Coukling was tbe first to grasp bis band In cnngratU' lation when he had finished, and he was fol lowed l y Blaine and other Republican Sen ators while Mrs. Hayes, who had been list ening from the gallery besido Murat Hal stead, gracefully congratulated Mrs. Pendle ton. The best part of his speeoh was that in which he referred to the difficulty of se' curing information from cabinet oflicers, even when it was necessary for legislation and when be spoke of the voluminous de dartmental written reports, which few read and none understand, and he emphasised the advantages, that would accrue from having cabinet officers on the floor at all times ready to explain and answer questions relative to their several Department. This is very fine in theory, but Senator Pendle ton should serve apprenticeship as a depart ment clerk. He would learn many things, He would learn that a cabinet officer knows little more about the workings of bisDc partment than a member of Congress knows about statesmanship. He would learn tbat the clerks of department run this ponderous government, and tbat they alone are inti ma ely acquainted with all its heavy J ind deli cate machinery. An automaton capable of igning his name about one hundred times day to papers that he docs not understand would make a pretty good cabinet officer. There wero parts of Senator Pendleton speech tbat were heavy and your correspond ent improved the occasion to make observa' tions for tbe information of the world and posterity. There is a wide spread opinion that Sena' tor Coukling Is n vain man. His caricatur ists represent him as a pouter pigeon or turkey cock, birds which spread and display their plumage, Darwin says, to dazzle the gentler eex. I do not believe Senator Conk ling Is vain or that he poses before either sex. While he listened to Senator Pendle ton's speech, he was ergaged all the timo with a pen knifo making the toilet of his finger nails. Vain men do not so utterly ignore polite conventions. Senator Conk ling is both fortunate and unfortunate in bis appearance. Men call him fine looking, while women say he is too awfully ravish ingly nice for any thing, but his lout emem He, independent of his dress, is what child ren of the world wou'd call "loud." Now he has neither created nor trained his blonde hyperion curls, or molded hU features of Jove, or form of Antinous. Wicked carica' turist should not taunt him with his per fections, for he is a true friend, or a genui hater, as the case may be, and no senator better diserves the lobriquet that has bee: given to Senator Pendleton. The chief difference tbat I have observed between European aud American statesmen is that the former keep their clothes buttoned wb.l i the latter do not. But this, difference iuv, o i ring clothes is not confined to states men merely. II you see a man, on the oth er sid.'of tbe Atlantic ocean,with his"Prince Alb it unbuttoned, you may know that ho Is a compatriot and will answer to tbo name of Col, Governor, Captain or General, Wear ing tbe coat unbuttoned ia a peculiarly American fashion, or rather defiance of fashion. When Senator Coukling returned trom Europe about eighteen mouths ago bis coat was buttoned up to bU chin, but the buttons and button-holes became gradually estrauged until now only tbe lowest pair are on Intimate terms. In this rfspect he dfl'ers from Senators llayanl ami Butler whoso coats are usually united at the top buttons, but free ami easy at tho lower ouev, thus afford, lug unimpeded process to their legs. An alrguusly Seiialoi Coukling's style may be called the enfranchisement of the heart and lungs, wtile tbe style of tbo majority of senators suggests ph) steal freedom in its broadest, loose st lense. It Is impossible for me to decide which is the better dressed man, Senator Burnside, of Rhode Island, or Senator Whyte, of Maryland, regarded spectacularly they are both perfect stateitnen, and leave nothing to be desired. Their clothes are well made, well buttoned.and exquisitely woru. Senator TIIK ONLY WAY.

The mines at No. 10 Slope near Wilkes Ilarre caved in last week Tuesday while sev en men were nt work, cutting off all ways of escape, A large force of men at once began inking a shaft from tbo surface, to strike the highest breast that had been worked, hoping thereby to release the entombed min ers. Ihey succeeded in penetrating to the breast about three o'clock on Thursday morning. After penetrating through four chambers they were compelled to retire as tho mine was convulsed and working In n dangerous manner. They returned however, and a force of men kept at work constantly day and night to release tho victims. A brother of ono of the men entered an old gangway with a naked lamp, causing an explosion of fire-damp, and setting fire to the coal. A steam firo engine from Wilkes- Ilarre was sent out and the flames ex tinguished. The miners declare that the caving in be- gan at eleven o'clock Monday night, and that although egress was possible up to four o'clock in the morning tho night watchman gave no alarm. That he thought there was danger is shown by the fact tbat he removed tho mules. There seems to have been in tbe mine a gross disregard of tbat clause of the mining law providing fortwooutlets to each mine in operation. The attempt at rescue was kept up stead! ly, and as day followed day, without reach lng the miners all hope began to fade o: finding them alive. Still the work went on with the expectation only of finding seven dead bodies. A MARVELOUS ESCAPE. The exciting work of trying to liberate the men buried in tbe Sugar Notch mine, which has beeu in progress for four day resulted successfully, the men having been rescued in safety on Monday. The men were found in good condition, having suf fered comparatively little by their long en tombment, The imprisoned men bad built a firo and sustained themselves on the meat of mules caught with them in tbe fall stream of water running through the mine quenched their thirst. HOW THEV WERE SAVED. One hundred men were on duty working lor the rescue of the buried miners, some cutting through the coal, others putting in the props. A very large number of women and chil dren f atched the proceedings with keen in terest. The friends of the buried men scarcely left the spot, except for necessary food and rest. The coal and iron polico were on duty and kept the crowd back from prohibited places. As early as eight o'clock on Monday night tho joyful news was given tbat the drill had pierced tbe fifty feet of coal and had been pushed through three feet fur ther. When tho drill was withdrawn there was a strong current of gas and air. P. Con way, tbe fire boss, lustantly ordered the ex tinguishedment of the light until the gas had passed away,and no explosion occurred The hole was nt once plugged. The air was subsequently found to be quite pure. ten o'clock only six feet of ceal remained to be taken out, The men were overcome with delight, as the piercing of the pillar was haidly expected so soon. The use of pow der was abandoned aud the men applied themselves with picks. THE WOKKINQ PARTIES. As fast as the men became tired their places were taken by fresh and willing work crs. Blasting was given up, not only on account of the danger of falling roof, but also that there might be no igniting of gas. When the announcement was made that tbo drill had gone through, somo thoughtless, or malicious fellow yelled that the gas had tak en fire. A woman near him instantly faint ed, aud there was much excltemeut until the truth became known. At 2 o'clock only four feet of coal remained to be cut through. The men who then went on duty continued at work until they broke through tbe re maining obstruction and were gladdened with the sight of tho men beyond, all alive and eagerly waiting for their liberty. Tbeir escupe is considered simply miraculous, .there has been great njoicing since tbe rescue.

They were a lone walk from tbe built-up city, but then ohjects of great cur- losilj ior cuizeiis unu strangers. liw .Hint was soon after planted in Chestnut Street, opK site. The Hoys' High School on Juniper street : later on, tne t'ennsyivania Kailroau Company came along and lore down the Boys' IHl'I, School and built their ureal freight sta tion, covering the entire block at Thirteenth Street. Then the new Public Buildings drop ped down on the old site of the water-works and the four beautiful l'tnn Square were de molished, the great Railroad Company had to pull up stakes and move away, 11a the freight trains could neither go through nor around the new City Hall. For two years the eld sheds at Thirteenth street were closed, and the rats and cats held undisturhed possession. Then came the transformation, and huae towers grew , as it were, in a single night, 011 the corn ers and cenlres of the old depot, and where the drays used to enter tbe building the great door-ways suuuenly became plate-glass show windows. In a trice , almost, a new structure appeared and crowds of people wondered at tbe sign palnleu on Ihe walls : John Wanaiuaker Grand DeKt, Men's and Boys' Good'. General Dry Goods House. It was a great innovation to organizo such a store; no such 6lore had ever existed in Phila delphia, never couUl, and some said ' neter iAouM eiitt." Unmindful of all Iho hub-bub, the Grand Depot settled down to Its mission, and though but a child as yet in years has done wonders for the shoppers in Philadel phia. thirty-one storea live in peace on one floor and one roof, sharine one rent and one expene. If a Dry Goods business could alone allord the rent of a large shre budding and its ground, then all the oilier business crowded in are done without expense for rfnt. If-a small business savingly managed is a good thlnir, a larger business economically managed is a much' ueiier iinng One great reason why the Grand Depot can sell so cheaply ia because the Grand Dtpot has ho expensive building or uxtures. l-.veryihlng is of the simplest kind cheap reiit.cheaii insur ance : no upstairs, requiring no porters and steamhi its, but all on first Ibor, wheru delight ed people an wander about, and w hi out ofli cioua interference see every description of Dry Goods, Fancy Goods, Clothing, and a thousand other things.
