In his tilts against Senator Hill, the last of which took place a day or two sine", the bright anil aggressive senator from Maine hat merely shown a paltry eagerness to teane and annoy a personal adversary. The discussion on both ids is a needless revival of obsolete istues. Of what real conse quence Is it whether Mr. Hill went willing ly or reluctantly into tho secession move ment? hut tense is there in thrashing over old straw ? In both houes of congrem there are members who fought or acted In the inter st of the rtbelllon. Ot what pos sible public consequence is it whether Mr. lllll was an early or a tardy secessionist that this trivial and obsolete question should be d bated by Mr. Illaine with heat and ucrlruouy in the senate of the United Statts eightem jiars after the events have passed out of politics into history ? It is beneath the character of a statesman of Mr. Maine's mark and pretentions to 'eek the bubule n putallon' by teasing criticisms of the eon duct of southern members at a period which has no relation to our preseut politics. A man of Mr. Maine's acknowledged talents makes himtelf too cheap by stepping forth on all occasions which he can find or invent as a gladiator to fight fellow senators on is sues which were pertinent in ISCl.butare spent and obsolete in 1879. Heiswastlag great abilities which he might employ to better purpose." There are few but will ad mit that the Herald is right in its conclu sions. It is time for Mr. Blaine to direct his oratory at bleger game. THE DIVISION ItfJESTlON. An editorial in the Gazette t Bulletin of June 14th, headed "Dioceeo of Williams- port" would indicate that the friends of the division movement gained a victory In the Episcopal Convention at Lancaster last week. It says : 'Tho result, though technically a drawn game, is virtually a victory for the new Diocese. Its friends made r.o great mistakes Its opponents made a great many, the fa tal effects of vhich they will feel next year. It was very wise to begin the movement a year earlier than seemed to be necessary. The opposition have exhausted their strength already, while the decisive result can only be reached next year, when as Is generally conceded, even by the opponents the movement for a new Diocese will be crowned with success, In time for ratification by the General Convention of 1S80 The friends of the enterprise are exceedingly en cou raged over their prospect." The question before the convention was upon the appointment of a committee to re port on the Memorial asking for a division of the Diocese.at the next meeting. For the appointment of a committee a majority of tho clergy voted, but the laity did not con cur. Many of the clergy who voted for the committee did so as an act of courtesy, but are opposed to the division of the Dio cee. And the same may be said of the laity. If the vote had been directly uron the question of division it would have been ovcrwhemingly defeated. Rev. Dr. Hop' kins of Williamsport, the father of the ill vision movement, is probably the writer of the article in the Gazette it Bulletin. He claims that the friends of the measure "made no great mistakes." And in another pluce he says that "if the last vote had not been a vote by orders, the new Diocese would have triumphed at its first encounter," He for gets that the vote was taken by orders be cause a "friend ot the measure" demanded it. If the advocates of a new Diocese are bo well pleased with the result of the vote, we cannot understand why they received it with such decided evidence of chagrin and dis appointment, one friend of the measure ap parently forgetting that he was a clergyman and a gentlemau in the vehemence of his denunciation of the opposition. There is no occasion for any bitterness of feeling on this question. It was clearly the sense of the late convention that the time for division has not yet arrived. If at tho next session a msjority should favor the movement the minority will undoubtedly submit to the de- cision with better grace than was manifest ed by the defeated party this year. r i i . Tho late Legislature passed a supplement to the several acts relating to the National Citiard which contains a provision of iuter- est to county treasurers. It makes it the duty of t very county treasurer in the Slate to procure suitable books, in which shall be entered an account of all money received by him, under any provisions of tho several laws relating to the organization and regula tion of the militia of the State and which shall be called "the military fund" of such county. The fund so created is to be applied exclusively for military purposes, under prescribed regulations,and the county treas urerlsto keep an accurate account of till expenditures and for what purpose. The treasurer's compensation is to be one per centum of all such moneys received and dis burned by him. Grieving over the Heath of Ms Jailor. Hickobv, N. 0., June 11, Hoke Secrest tho wife and child murderer, confined in Marlon Jail, was told yesterday that the jailor, Mr. Henry Sides, was dead. Secrest burst Into wild cries of grief, and rejected all comfort. He asked, as a last request, that be might be taken to see the face of the dead man. This -vat granted. When he entered the death chamber he fell upon the coffin and clung to it, crying like a child. It required five men to get him away. Since that time he has been wild with grief, refus ing to cat anything. Tbe majority of the senate judiciary com mittee have concluded that a member of the cabinet could not hold bis position and at tbe same time be confirmed for a judge of a Federal court. In other words, it was do determined that he could not hold both positions at one time. The nomination of Secretary M'Crary will accordingly go over to tho December session and he will remain In the cabinet until that time. In tbe mean time Mr. Hayes will have leisure to select some distinguished citizen of Pennsylvania for secretary of yiu.J'atriol, : Itishop Huntington, of the Central New York Kplfcopal diocese, advertised for five young clergymen In do home missionary work for board, clothes, and J160 a year. The requirements wero thus expressed : They must be well educated, sound In mind and body, users of no artificial stimu lants or narcotics, men of good practical sense ; and the pnseslnn of theso qualifica tions must be sufficiently certified to. Se vere comments having been elicited by this advertisement, the Hlshop replies that he neither creates nor Improves the conditions, and adds, (spraklng of himself in the third person), "Ills gross sin Is that he imagines that out of hundreds who have forworn tho world foi the kingdom of heaven, and who preach sermons and sing hymns about cross bearers and marching soldiers and a suffer ing sainthood and (he glories of self-renunciation, thero may pns-dbly be five, only live, who would not count n very abstemious ministry in one of our Middle States Intol erable, or the offer of It either an affront or 'ajoko.'

Immortality ami Ingenoll. Thousands of people havo read Col. Ingcr- poll's tender words of eulogy, spoken over the cifiiii which held tho remains of his brother, and pronouncud them beautiful. So they are. They are as bautiful as an ex quisitely carved marbl" monument and as col l. They are the words of a finished ora tor, and whilst they appeal tothe tender sym pathies of our nature, a moments reflection hows that they emanate from one groping in the dark. And in commenting on this beau tiful funeral oiation, the Troy Times is con strained to ask : "Is it true that a wreck must mark at last the eud of each ; and that all and every life will, at its close, become a tragedy as sad and as d-itk as can be woven of the wrap and woof of mystery and death ? Is the lite of a man like Garrison marked at the last by a wreck ? Is the death of a babe which dies with the smile ot innocence upon its lips a tragedy, sad, deep and dark? Is humanity tho only religion ? Is the Ever Living a myth ? In the night of death does hope only hca a star and nothing more ? Can the eager ear of listening love only hear the rustling of a wing and nothing more ? Does death end all ? All hones of immortality, all the teachings of thousands of years, all tbo institutions which tell each and every indi vidual of something happy and serene beyond the grave are all lies, or else the requiem which living brother spake over dead brother is untre. The people who can stand beside ihc casket which contains the remains of one they loved and see in death a tragedy as deep and dark as can be woven of the wrap and woof of mystery and death are few. Thosd who can fall in with the belief that death is the end, that the soul when it departs from the body is as dead as the tenement it leaves, arc ready to accept the dictum that a wreck must mark at last the end of each. This country is irreligious ; more than half its people do not attend church services, but thoso who think little and ctro lc.-u about ie ligion are not prepared to join with Mr. ' In gcrsoll in declaring that all they can hear in tho deep night of death is the rustling of a wing. All who have laid away children and brothers and sisters, parents and connubial companions, by the eye ot faith see more than a star. The ear of love hears in tbe deepest and blackest night of death words which are grander than ever Inrersoll spake, and which rise above the roar of the billows and the shrieks of tho wrecked : "As we have borne the image of the earthly, we shall also bear tho image of the heavenly. Now, this I say brethren, that flesh cannot inherit the kingdom of God ; neither doth corrup tion inherit iucorruption. Behold I show you a mystery ; wo shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of au eye, at the last trump ; for the trumpet (hall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible and we shall be chang ed. For this corruptible must put on im mortality, so when this corruption shall have put on inevrruption and this mortal shall have put on immortality then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting ? 0 grave, where is thy victory?" Paul's words, spoken many hundreds of years ago, aro freighted with dearer hopes to all of human origin than Ingersoll's rhyth mical sentences uttered under circumstances which should have excited faith and nurtured trust iu immortality. Paul comforts the mourners and binds up tho bleeding wounds of affection. We cry aloud for our dead and the answer is something more than the echo of our wailing cry. Our faith sees not a star, but the sun of immortality. Listen ing love, with hearing quickened by faith hears more than the iustling of a wing, it hears the promise that our departed have gono to higher spheres and higher lives in which they shall not again taste death. Were it not for this hope and faith how grievous might be the sting of death I" Gazttte A Bulletin. Double Murder anil Suicide. Detroit, Juno 15. Manly Stevens, jr., a night watchman at Clark's saw mill, at Hun ter's Creek, a station on the Detroit and Bay City railroad, went homo at an early hour yesterday morning and found John House there. Suspecting him of criminal intimacy with his wife, he shot him twio through the head and three times through the ehewt. He then shot his wife through the head, and wound up by shooting himself through tbe head, killing himself instantly. Mrs. Stevens and House were alive at latest accounts, but it is thought they cannot recov er. Stevens had been married only four or five months. John S. Morton of Philadelphia, convict ed of forgery, has presented to tbe Board of Pardons a petition for pardon signed by a large number of leading citizens of that city. Why be should be pardoned we can not see.

ArrnoAcit or thd eni or caucusw, VETOES, PERSONA!, EXPLANATION, AND VAtlTY VINDICATION A SECOND EX HIA SESSION PIlonAlILK -A VETO OPTIIi: JUDICIAL llll.L EXPECTED ON T1IUI19DAV A DEADLOCK I NTH E SEN ATE FINANCE COM MITTEE M It, DAYAIU) FIRMLY OIMTINATE Less than a week ago it was tho opinion of everybody that the extra session would not continue longer than to day, N iw It Is believed that it will probably be continued until the first of July, and, that adjourning then, a second extra session will probably be called. There seems to be a very general leslre, I might say longing, for adjourn ment. Everybody, but the hotels and board ing houses, Is tired of Congress, and Con gress Is very weary of Itself. This monoto- mus session of caucuses and vetoes, of per sonal explanation and party vindication, lias nauseated practical people of both parties and without presuming to fix the blame, It takes two In make a quarrel, they feel that they have been treated to politics thickened with too little statesmanship. While it is certain that the President will ien the legislative and army appropriation bills, it is a certainty that be will veto the judicial bill. The situation, therefore, seems to be about this . If the Senate agrees to n resolution, which will probably be reported on Wednesday by its appropriation com mittee, for adjournment on rriday next the House will agree to it, and in the present temper of members will not reconsider lis action if the Senate proposes to lag on the army bill. Of course If the exigency aroe that tbe Senate could not git through, it might extend the time several hours ; but It would not extend It to an Indefinite period of much length. Tbe chances are that the Seoate can get the army bill passed by Friday if it wants to. Should tbe President veto the judicial bill, which actiou is conoid-red certain by both Republican and Democrats, the ques tion is, will he call Congress back to provide for tin judicial expenses of the government? A week ago leading Republicans sail that he would not ; that the money for United States courts was not needed until next Oc tober, and betweeu that datt! an the date of the regular wssiiiu rnulil be tided over in Borne wny. H'i I . del'iciciey appropriation bill might be pawed early in December to meet whatever upen-.e might have been incurred. It is mid though, tlii.t tipou more carelul reflection the the President has changed his mind. It is stated that Attorney General Devens has sai l that the money tor th federal judiciary would be required after July 1st next, and that unle s Congress made some suitable provision the United Slates would have to go without juries in its courts ; that it could not issue a writ, could not even libel steamer, If nece-iary, and that there wounl be a dead-lock in the entire judicial syotem The week opens with this outlook : The judicial bill as it passed the House will probably be passed iu the betiate to-day, witbtiut amendment. It will reach the President on Wednesday. The veto will probably be sent in on Tnursday, but mean- bile both houses m.iy h ve ugret-d to ad journ on Friday at inn Tin- Seiihte will work up to that point to disp-ise of Ine army bill, and il the House relusts to rx ml the timn tor adjournment ou recount or the veto oflhejojiei.il bill, it will resi with tbe President whether he will consider it neces sary to convene tue two nouses again in session, or not. Probably the last (uncus of the session will meet this forenoon ; its olject will be to consider tbe deadlock between (senator Bayard, Chairman ot tbe Senate Finance Committee, and the majority if bis party in tbe Senate. At u ricent caucus Senutors Tburmau, Garland, ana McDmuld were ap pointed to collier with Senator Bayard, and endeavor to devise some means by which the silver bill should be reported without bis resigning the Chairmanship of the com luittee. The Senators met and had a long con'erenve with Senator Bayard but he re fused to assent to any compromise. He said the silver bill had been voted upon in com mittee and he o mid not cuu'ent to anything that would change the statu uf tbe bill and contribute to Its advancemeii . The three Senators will reNirt the result of their talk with Senator Bayard in caucus to-day, and then the question of accepting his resigns tion will come up. It in thought that his resignation will be accepted and that anoth er Senator who favors the silver bill will be apmiiiited iu bis stead, The advocates of the bill insist that Mr.lWyard has olxtluate ly op d bis individual opinion against tbej Jdgemant ot his party, fiat he b td no rignt to bury the bill iu cumurtlee, and that ne suoui't tmve cotilent.il tin conscience witn an adverse repirt uyuii it, O.

A second alarm was pounded at It) -15 ipiickly fillowtd by a third. A nuiu'ier of vessels wjre on lire and tho flames were spreading ra,iidlv. A ship was strutk by bghtuing duriug the thunder storm about that hour. Ibe vessels destroyed arc the American ship Huil-ou, the Italian larks Fa and Quin to, the Geniuu brig F. Itevk, aud Canadian bark Ilion. The flames originated iu the bark Fa, from a bolt of lightning during tbe beuvy thuuder storm, which prevailed about 10:30 A M, From lb Fa the flames com- munica'eu in ine wnan, winen was soon wrapped iu tbuitw, destroying the otlioo and all the books au-1 aooouuls of the firm. From the wharf the ttiines leaped to a long row of oil barrela.aud iheso were soon burning fierce iy. Next the still houses caught, and the smoke at this time was perfectly terrible, About 11 o clock one ol tho stills exploded with a loud report, but as tho fierce flames uau uriveu ine urcuuu uoiu the spot, it was followed by iw accident or injury to Ibe large crowd that surrounded the blazing works. Tbe bark Fa, ia which the flames originated, was loaded wilh over 1200 cases of oil. The Ilion, tho vessol next attacked, had on board about 2000 barrels. Tho Hud- son.which was nearly ready lor departure had 7000 barrels. The Quinto and the F. Reck wero empty. The latter vessel, which at L30 A. M.. was burnt almost to the water's edire. reached the wharf about an hour before the Cro started, having tho day before finished unloading at Christian streot wharf. Tho Schuylkill harbor tug Wavo was tho first aid to reach the scene, and for over two hours this vessel was actively employed in towing the surrounding shipping to a point of safely. By the time tbe Fire Department reached the scene five vessels and nearly 10,00 barrels of od were blazing fioroely. Although it was at once upparent that their efforts would bo of little avail, the fireuion set to work bravely to save tho neighboring vessels, wharves, thedding and empty oil barrels. Before 12 o'clock tho water gnvo out. Sleanwhilc, the firo kept spreading, and at 1 1'. M,, tho flames extended from tho still houses to tho wharf, n distance ol nearly 300 yard. Mranwhilc.tlio steam tugs had been telegraphed l'or,nnd upon their arrival they wero put to woik pouring streams of water into tho blan'ng vessels to keep tho oil barrels with which they wero aden from exploding. In this latter event tho surface of tho river would have been cov ered, with the blazing oil and tho half dozen vessels still untouched by tho flames would have been added to the general destruction. When firo starts in a vescl saluratcd with petroleum, it spreads tapidly, so when light ning set tho il'ifortuiiali' bark Fn in the" fhtnes, the crew hastily gatlieii'il up a few of their effects aud tvanipeiel for shoie. From the Fa the flames soon spread lo the other vessels above mentioned, causing their cicws to start rapidly lor lerru lirma with what few of their effects they could sualcli up iu the coufusion. The captain of tho Qitintoti was in lather a worse predicaincut than any of lits crew, cseiping lo tho shore with notbing on but his undershirt and pants, Scaled up on their lugage, tho unfortunate mariners watched Ifio flimcs lick up what to thtui was their homes. The crows of a majority of the burned vessels aro all foreigners, and aro now destituto in a foreign climo Through the efforts of tho agents of tho destroyed ves'cts a majority of the sailors havo secured board ing places hi the various hotels in vicinity of the sceno of the conflagration, Ono of the Incidents of total depravity furnished by oc casions of great excitement is fouud in the fact that the captain of a tuir, whoso name was not mentioned, was asked to nslst in pulling n vessel out of a spot where it was in imminent danger of being burned. He re fused to assist unless the owners of tho ves sel promised hitu $5000. It is needless to say be didn't get the job. The heavy smoke which filled tho sky and bright blaze which could be seen fiom all por tions of tbe Neck attracted to the spot hun dreds of idlers. When it became apparent that nothiug cool 1 be saved but a few of the empty barrels, tho agent of the works an nounced several t.uies in a loud voice tint all those who would go to work and help roll I he barrels to a place of safely should be paid filly cents an hour. Although iu the crond were many laborers employed in tho refinery, aud hundieds of men who prefer to bo bunt ing for work, not more than six stepped for ward and thus ptoclaliucd their willingness to earn by honest labor a few dollars.

Eighth and Market Sts., PHILADELPHIA. J the faco of cvcrithln) , Wanamakcr & Brown increased their great Clothing business last year at Oak 11 all ncaily a quarter of a million dollars, and for 1870 the new plans will make the house more popular and increase the business much more. Eighteen years m tho people''! service at the old corner of Sixth and Market has taught us how to do the business well. Whatever may be said, no house in the United States sells any thing like so much Clothing at Retail as Oak Hall, and no house in Philadelphia sells more than a quarter as many goods as Mr. Wanamakcr sells fn Clothlntj alone. Doing this large business shows the people's regard for our goods, and enables us to buy cheaply and sell at small profits. New patterns have been made this year and new styles Intro-1 duced through Mr. Robert C. Ogdcn (formerly partner of the famous firm of Devlin & Co., New York), who is now associated with Oak Hall, and will give his whole energies and valuable experience to improving the manufacture of our ISoys' and Men's Clothing. We tlo not buy Clothing like the dealers, but make it expressly for our own sales. The Spring stock is splendid, and no other make of goods, so far, have as much merit, or are told as cheaply. Impressions have been erroneously given to the cfiect that Mr. John Wanamaku', .ho founded Oak Hall, is not interested in the old store, and tls.it it docs not have his attention ; on the contrary, his ownership of it remains unchanged, and ho has lost none of his love for it. Every day finds him supervising all its' departments. Mr. William 11. Wanamakcr spends his entire time on the Oak Hall business. A VISIT THIS SPRING PARTICULARLY INVITED.
