(Jen. (Irant ami the Figures.
A good mauy zealous llepubllcans nll'ect
to believe, and perhaps really think, that
with Grant for a candidate, and with troot
at the polls, and with plenty of supervisors
and deputy marshals, they can surely carry
the next Presidential election.
Have these sanguine stalwarts taken
fair look at the figures? Let them pemde
their lessons, and gather wisdom from th
same.
A majority of the electoral votes is 185
The class of Republicans to whom we refer
and indeed alt kinds of Republicans, admit
that their candidate, whoever he may be
will not receive a single electoral vote in the
Southern States, and that bis sole reliance
must be upon the North.
The Northern States which went for Hayes
in 1870 cast 1GG votes. This number is IP.
short of n majority. Four Northern States
went lor Tilden New York with 35 votes
Connecticut with C, New Jersey with 9, an
Indiana with 1.1 making an aggregate of
Ci. Let us, for the sake of the calculation
concede that Grant would carry all the
Northern States that Hayes did, and then
where is h to make up the deficiency of
19 votes ? It will be remembered that the
whole South is conceded to the Democratic
candidate. And upon the theory that Grant
would carry all the Hayes States, he musl
get the needed 19 votes from the four States
that went for Tilden.
Where can he find them ? Indiana is as
sure to go for the Democratic nominee i
18S0 as is Kentucky. Connecticut may
vote for the Republicans, aud there is a bare
possibility that New Jersey might go in th
same direction, though there is far less prob
ability that these two States should tak
that course than there is that Oregon, Cal
fornia, and Nevada should throw their 12
votes for the Democratic candidate. Hut
give to Grant the 15 votes of Connecticut
nnd New Jersey, and he would still lack four
of a majority.
Of course, if Grant could secure all the
Northern Slates that went for Haye-", and
then add to them the 35 votes of New York
he would be elected. This result would giv
a total of 201 votes. Hut if he were to carry
Nbiv York and all the Northern Hayes States
except Ohio, the loss of its 22 votes would
reduce his total to 179, which would be si
short of a majority.
We advise the friends of Grant and the
bayonet to carefully study hese figures,
-A'. Y.Sun.
Thero is a good deal of misapprehension
and out of congress in regard to the popular!
ty of silver coins. It is believed by many
that the silver dollar is unpopular and that
gold would bo preferred as a circulating me-
diuui. Now the fact is tint very few peopli
kuow what it is to handle tho legal tender til-
ver dollar, Tho "trado dollar," which is not
a legal tender, lias murpod tho place of lli
Island or legal tender dollar, simply becau
it is not a legal tender, therefore atadiscouut
and therelore a drug in tho money market,
Besides the "trada dollar" the subsidiary
coins consisting of half dollars, quaiters an
dimes are about tho only silver pieces m ge
cral circulation. Tho "trade dollar'' should
at onco lie takeu up by tho government and
the legal ti'iider silver dollar paid out in
mlumption. At present there can be no
fair test of the uclulnesn nr convenience
tho silver dollar us a circulating medium
cause the "trado dollar" and tho subsidiary
coins are almost tho only silver in circulation,

Death of William Lloyd (lurrlsou.
New York, May 25. William Lloyd
Gariboa died hero last evening, at 10:45,
Laviog been unconscious (or nearly twenty
four hours. He caino to this city three weeks
ago to sco a daughter who was about to sail
for Europe, and his disease, liright's disease
of tho kidneys, suddenly became so much
worso that it was plain he could uot long sur
vive Up to Friday evening, however, he
retained full possession of his mental facul
ties and conversed freely with his sons and
daughter who surrounded his bedside, and
with his hosts of friends whocallcd upon him.
Shije Lis malady has assumed such a serious
form tho venerable sufferer has been vitdted
by several of tho best known physicians of
the cily, who, a few days ogo, pronounced
his caso hopeless. Up to Wednesday Mr.
Garrison was uuablo to partako of food, but
since then his stomach has been so weak that
nourishment was not retained. Lato 1'iidjy
evening his breathing suddenly became labor
ed and difficult. It was thought ho was dy
jug, but ho 600n was easier. His cousciouj
uus did uot remain, however, ami in this etu

Judge Parker's Will nrnl I'ulilic lleguosh.
Tho will of Judge Kicker l a voluminous
locument and was written by the well known
w firm in Philadelphia of which John C,
llullltt is a member. It was read in the
presence of the family, In Mauch Chunk, on
Thursday,by one of the law firm mentioned.
The public bequeits are m ist munificent,
1 aro another evidence that his last
thoughts were bent on doing good to others,
ho public bequests areas follows :
To the Lshlgh University, $ 1,(500,000 as
an endowment fund. This makes nearly or
plite 43,000,000 given to that institution
To the University Library, erected to the
memory of his daughter, Mrs. Lucy Linder
man, SMO.OOO.
To St. Luke's Hospital, $300,000, with an
xpress provision that tho I list tutlou is to
b l.irover fre to all employes ol the Le
high Valley Riliroad.
To St. .Mark's Cnurch, Mauch Chunk, of
hlch he was a member, $30,000.
To Muhlenburg College, Allentown, a
laiuNome bequest.
To nshtugtoti-Lee University, Lexing
ton, Virginia, also a handsome bequest.
These are the bequests of a public char
acter. A number of person.il bequests were
also made, which will not be made knuw ri
until the will is admitted to probate. This
will be done on Monday next, in Philadel
phia, the deceased having claimed that as
his residence and voted and paid bis person
a! tax there.
The valuo of the estate is fully $20,000,
000, all reports to the contrary that may be
nil oat. It is difficult to get at the amount
positively. It will not be below that sum
but in all probability will exceed it.
The Kxecutors of the estate are : Messrs,
Robert A. Packer, Harry E. Packer, E. P.
Wilbur and Robert H. Sayre. These gen
tlemen, with the President of the Lehigh
Valley R. R , ex officio, are also the Trustees,
aud will have sole charge and direction of
tho Judge's vast interests in the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad.
There is no intimation as to who shall
succeed him as President of the road. That
position will in all probability remain va
cant until the next annual election. The
question as lo who his successor will be it is
impossible to answer, but we think we are
safe in saying that it will bo one of the four
Executors named.
Mysteries of Masonry.
A correspondent writes as follows : "I saw
a communication, signed J. O. W., portray
inc the beauties of Masonry. Ho writes of
three Union soldiers who were taken prison
ers by tho Confederates, nnd one of them, be'
inc a Mason, was deliberately sent home
Now, I understand that Masonry teaches its
members to obey the laws of the country in
which they live. It is true this man violated
no law in becoming a prisoner, yet his cap
tors or guaids had no more right to liberate
him because Le was a Mason than a Sheriff
would have to libcrato a criminal for the
same reasons.
'When a man joins tho Masons, I under
stand he takes some kind of an obligation
When a man enlists in tho army to fight for
his country, ho also takes an obligation. Now
the question I ask you, as a consistent Mason
and honest editor, is, which is tho superior?1
Replying to tho above, we can only tell
what wo should do, as a man, a Mason, and a
human being unaccountably to himself, his
obligations and his God.
If there should come an edict from our
governmeni for us to renounce Masonry or be
considered a traitor to the government, no
should pay no attention to anything that
interfered with our obligations as a Mason
because they in no wie interfere with our
duty to our country or our family.
Were we a Sheriff, whose duty it was to
liana- a man for murder, we should hangbim
no matter if ho were tho Worshipful Master
of our Lodge, or our senior in Masonio rank
Were wo a detective, and sent to arrest a
criminal, we should arrest him if he were the
highest Mason in tho world.
As our correspondent says, the war prito
ncr violated no law. Wo should have let him
go had he asked it as a Mason. Hut to come
out of the tall grass so that the man who
wishes infotiuatiou can see our blue plume,
hero is just what wo would do.
Wo should honor all trust confided to us,
Wc would never enlist to fight in an army
wiiliout permission to sparo the life of a Ma.
sou when wo kuew tho applicant for mercy to
bo a Mason. If drafted in a war service, we
never tiiould take tho life of a Mason knowing
him to be iuch. If wo were in command
a regiment of troops, and every one of our
men had a dead sure thing ot killing every
man of a regiment of the enemy, and if tha
regiment of the euciny should as oue man
give the hailing sign of distress, we should
command our regiment to fire about lour
hundred feet above their hesds, then walk u
and ask the officer in charge of tho men
whoso lives we had spared to shake hands
and surrender.
Tho good Mason would not ask us to do
anything that would lower us in the estima-
tion of good people, or to peril our reputation
unless thero was such need for him to at
help, that, in justice to others and to all, we
could uot refuse.
Were wo on the ground to kill our mortal
enemy in a duel, and he should give the hail
lug sign of distress in time, we should walk
up and shako hands with him. Had we
felled him to the earth, and he then should
appeal to the Masonic element in our heart,
we should lake him up tenderly, restore him
to life, or follow him to the grave as a Broth
er. Masonry commands us to tho law and
its defense, but in street fight, or in bat do we
should spare the life of every Mason who on
such accouut asked for mercy. We should
be true to our first obligation, and never take
ujion ourselves another to conflict with the
first till tho first was thrown off.
Were no in command of an army, and the
General in command of our enemy likewise a
Ma'on, we should entertain him at our tent,
cscoit him to his lines, return to our place,
then go forth to fight, and whip him and his
army if we could. Then wo should gather
frouithowoundedtho.se who were Masous,
taking earo of them beforo caring for our own
who wcio not. Wo should ask no odds or
favors becausu wo were Masons, except a
clearly defined duty to some helpless, hapless
loved one demanded that Le live, but uot at
tho expense of our honor.
.Masonry asks us to do nothing that is dis
honorable. But it tcachrs us to cultivate
mercy aud humibty, to build mankind into
liettcr conditions, to keep our tongues silent
wheu tileuco is tho wiser and better thing.

It is difficult to tell to-day v hat will bo
tho outcome of tho dlsagreemtnt between
Congress and the Executive That tho bill
will bo vetoed has been known for somo time.
ilut the unknown, is how Congress will meet
tho veto. If anything can bo inferred from
tho public speeches and private expressions
of leading members, tho majority, if not as
aggressive and confi lent as it was beforo tho
first veto, is, at this writing, tnoro compact
and determined than it was immediately
after tho last veto. Tho legislative appro
tiriation bill was signed by Senator Thunuan
yesterday afternoon aud was sent immediately
to tho Exccu'ivo Mansion. Tho President
will probably send in his veto to day, though
some republicans nro of tho opinion that it
will not bo laid beforo Congress until tho end
of tho week.
Tho Southern members havo addressed a
communication to the Northern Democratic
members asking them to outlino a plan or leg
islative action in tho present emergency, and
signifying their willingness to follow their
lead. The democratic meinliers of the House
who conceived this plan of getting a c'elinilo
expression of policy from the northern mem
bers desired to havo tho joint cimuiittcc act
upon tho proposition before taking any for
mal step to cirry it out. Should tho joint
committee adapt tho proposition il will be
submitted for signatures, hvery northern
democrat who his bo-n spoken to on the
ubject has signified his willingness to fol
low up the policy and insist upon standing
firm and refusing appropriations. Tho idea
of the address or document is that as the
laws sought to be repealed uioro directly
affect the northern states, and as the repeal
ing legislation was inaugurated by members
from the north, they should bo allowed to
lead in defining the policy to be pursued.
The joint conference committee will meet
either to day or to-morrow, when tho ques
tion will b considered and passed upon .
The rouimittec on pot offices and post
roads have been giving th-ir attention to a
system of return letter offioes, su h as has
long boeu iu Use in England The nlj. ct ol
a proposed bill is to secure the Ui ist speedy
delivery of letters to writers in cu-es where
the paity addressed doos nut reo-ive ihem,
fiom uuy caue whstevcr. such as a failuio to
take them from tho office, illegibility of ad
dress, indisposition to rcieivc theiu, nr other
wise. It is very obvious that in a omutry
the cxicnt of this, where we have postal
lit'CS 3.000 miles long, a leturn letter office
at one point only, and that ono point WVh
iiigtnn, ou the extreme ea-tcrn houndtry of
the cnutineut, is in-ufficient fir th- "pcedy
deliveiy of letters or packages tu the origi
nal sender, in ca-e of tun delivery Tho
average distanoo of carriage of mail matter
in the United States is about 1,813 miles.
This fact of itself is sufficient to demonstrate
the necessity of tho return letter iffiees the
bill prcipo-es to establish All the pst.i! re.
forms iu this, as in all other countries, arc
taken from the Hriti-h system; they were
engrafted on tint system, in spite of the
Etrenuousoppositi m of postal officials, and
were, in evciy instatw, the supgetti m of
persous disconnected with the service. The
last mail coach sys'tni, cheap postage, uni
f oi ui postage, ami tho railway postal car,
wcro all resisted. The pnstoffiuu money-order
system was allowed to bo conducted as
private euterpri-e by three po.toffioo clerks
for forty yosrs, before tho Department would
assume its functions The commercial char
actcr of the Briti-h people demanded in
crei-ed communication and the reu't is. the
best conceived and tho best administered
postal system iu tho wor'd. lis cuViency,
however, is greatl promoted by the fact that
they have a real oivil seivico. Great Britain
has had uo such thimr as a dead letter office.
She has return-letter offices. Until within a
very few years past our Government had no
return letter ofiue; letters and packages,
unless they contained valuables, being do
stmyed. Toe term dead letter explained
their fate literally. Great llritain began
with one return-latter offic. In the year
1872 she had three; at London, Edinburgh
and Dublin In 1873 Glascow was added:
and as the experiment proved successful, tho
number enlarged until now there are in that
enn'ry 172 oflices from which undelivered
letters are returned to the writers, with eight
principal otfiees Undr the law, as it exists
in the United States, letters, if not delivered
remain in the offices to which they are sent
until advertised in the discretion of tho post
tna-ter; but not oftcner than onoo a wcek
Thcy remain in tho local ollioe in the discre
tion of the postmaster-general, atcoidiog to
his regulstions on the subject.
It is the intention ot tho bi'l that the
experiment should bo made with a small
number of return letter offices. If the result
is enu mraging, the system can be extended
if otherwise, abolished. Tho importance
will bo stcn of each commercial centrehaving
a return-letter office for tho whole area whiel
naturally transacts businoca with it.

Tho Soldiers' Orphan schools of Penn
sylrania were a uoble charity, and, in the
main, well mauaged. The contract system
uuder which they were carried on led to
some abuses, the children falling into
the bauds of speculative gentry, whose no
tlons were not philanthropic but commer
cial. The Statu has expended millions o
dollars in the patriotic attempt to contribute
to the welfare of its wards, and has carried
the task to a legitimate ending. There are
no more orphans of a teuder age to educate,
1 he greater part of them have grown to
years ol discretion and responsibility. The
war has been over long enough to bring this
about. Hut the persons who have the or
phan schools still manage to keep up a sup
ply, and on one pretence or another to secure
annual appropriations from the State,
These appropriations should be stopped, and
the children in charge turned over to the
care of the normal schools, where their tu.
ition can be completed at a small percen

THE BEST IS THE CHEAPEST.
The announcement that a new edition of
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary has just
been published, containing many ntw and val
uable features, suggests the thought that buying
a dictionary is a good deal like buy ing an eg
or a watch; a bad one is not ilieap nt an
price. Webster being tho standard authority
for tho EngliEh language, ho naturally has
many imitators, but imitators are usually held
at their true worth by the public; who wants
a wooden nutmeg, though it may look ever so
much like the genuine article? The popularity
of Webster is based upon this principle.
If you want a handy thing to carry with
you, a companion that you can always rely
upon, and one that will never tire you, a really
vade wnm, we recommend that you get a copy
of the pocket edition of Webster, with its
18,000 words and meanings, rules for spelling, 1
tables of weight and measures, abbreviations,
