Tho politics of tho IIouso chaplain would seem to bo a matter of small 1110 inont, but in the eyes of somo of tho lie. publican Congressmen it nmounU to much more than his piety. Krnutl in the Tax Oflioc, fraud in tho Gas Trust and fraud in tho Alms IIouso at Philadelphia, but tho peoplo do not get an opportunity to pntuih tho offend ers. Umgsters in tho Councils stand in tho way and protect tho thioves. Mr. D.wiil Mouart is now under in dictment in 1'hiladelphla for frauds upon tho ballot box. A little thing liko that, has no weight, however, in tho ward wherein ho resides, as he has just been elected a member of tho School Board of tho ward. Great city, Philadelphia. John Cessna, who was defeated for judge in tho Somerset district at the re cent election, will it is said context tho election of Judgo Bacr. Tho ground as signed is that at certain places votes were received for Baer, without asking all the questions prescribed by law. How very liko Cessna. If such a petty claim as that is allowed, it will be strange in deed. The Postmaster General has issued an order to take effect after January 1st, revoking section 171 of tho Postal Reg ulations, which provides for tho redemp tion of postal cards that may bo spoiled in tho hands of private parties by print ing or otherwise. After tho date named postmasters must not redeem postal cards under any circumstances whatever. Preparations arc making to build a mill in Minneapolis, Minn., capablo of making two million lour hundred thou sand barrels of Hour per annum. It will require ten millions bushels of wheat to keen it in operation three hundred days each year, and the value 01 its annual products will be 14,000,000. The other day at San Francisco, when Moses Hopkins was appointed adminis trator of the estate of Mark Hopkins, estimated at S0,.')00,000, and tho court intimated that a bond in 813,000,000 would be required with 20,000,000 in securities behind it; Mr. Hopkins casu ally remarked: "All right, Judge, I'll bring it up in tho morning. I haven't got tho change with mo or I'd fix it up now.' The Secretary of tho Treasury in his annual report to Congress suggests that tho coinago ot silver be suspended. One hundred millions of silver dollars have been coined and sixty six millions of this amount remain in the vaults of tho treasury just two thirds of tho total coinage. The Secretary is of opinion that tho United States can pay their ob ligations in gold. The silver dollars aro nuisances and their abolition would meet with popular approval. There aro no less than sixteen con tested seats in Congress, and all but three of tho contestants are Republicans. In almost every case tho Democratic major ity in each district runs into tho thous ands. Evidently tho Republicans nro afraid of their slender majority in the House, and intend if possiblo to increase it by ousting legally elected members. In any event a largo bill of expense will be laid upon tho people. Judgo Noah Davis, of New York, in charging tho jury in tho case of a Mrs. Coleman, charged with murder, made use of tho following language, which ap plies with great pertinency to tho case of Guiteau: No Imaginary inspiration to do a personal niul private wrong under a delusion, a belief that some great public benefit would How from it, when the nature of the net done and its probable consequences und that it is In Itself wrong are known to the actor, can amount to taut insanity which in law disarms the net of criminality. 'Under such notions of legal insanity life, property and rights, both public and private, would he altogether lose cure; and every man who, by brooding over his wrongs, real or iuisginary, shall work himself up to an Irresistible Impulse to avenge himself or his friends or his party, can with impunity become a self-elected Judge, Jury und executioner in ids own case for the redress of his own Injuries or the imaginary wrongs of his friends, his party or ills country. But happily that is not the law; so, whenever such Ideas of insanity arc applied to a given case at the law (as too of ten they have been), crime escapes punish, incut, not through tho legal insanity of the, accused but through the emotional Insanity of courts and juries. TIIK PRESIDENT'S 3IESSAUK. President Arthur's message to Con gress was published on AVednesday. It is a very long but not remarkable doc ument, touching lightly upon thoso topics most deserving of vigorous comment. The message opens with nn allusion to the death of Garfield, couched in grace ful terms, and then treats at some length of our foreign relations. Thero is noth inir of much moment in this except mention of tho apprehension felt at tho continued war between vJluli, l'eru and Bolivia. Tho abolition ol all internal revenuo taxed is recommended, except upon tobacco, distilled spirits and fer mented liquors. The President thinks it doubtful whether tho taxes on liquor and tobacco should bo reduced just nt present, but believes they may bo soon. The increase of onlisted men in tho army to IJO.OOOis recommended. This does not look like retrenchment. Tho popular demand is for tho sweeping nway ot all internal revenuo taxation and a reductiou of public expenses wherever practicable With a surplus in tho treasury of 0110 hundred and thirty millions, it is idle to nsseit that a decrease of expenditures is not possible. Tho passago of acts to break' up tho tribal relations of Indians and allot Jiiiiu 111 ucverany, is recom mended. Tho jnetsngo speaks sharply against nolvtramv and suuKests that certificates of marriage in the territories bo filed in tho supremo court ot the ter ritory. Thero 1110 some very pretty sen timents expressed regarding civil Bervice reform but as thero is no intention ou tho part of either tho administration or tho Rcpublbaii majority in Congress to pay any heed to tho suggestions, it is hardly worth while to specify them. Tho mes sago would occupy about eight columns of the Coi.uuiimn, but the main points huvo been mentioned. It is n statu pa per that apart from its graininutieal ac curacy nod will worded sentences will not rank high except that it bears ovl denco of being tho personal woik of tho President, ui)d expresses his own views. Marshal Henry, of tho DUtiicl of Columbia, says that the Guiteau trial will cost tho government if l4iU,000. Mint Muliotifl Intends Doing In Virginia. In nn interview witli tho Nuu Votk Times, Mahnno very freely express the programme of tho readjustee. After elcctinir lliddlcberuer to tho United States Senate, the next thing they will do will bo to pass tho liiddlcberger debt bill. This bill which scales tho debt of Virginia from $31,000,000 to $20,000,. 000 ho says isns good as passed already, ns the people unmistakably expressed themselves 111 favor of readjustment on this basis in the last campaign. Mnhono says the friends of tho bill will not dis cuss it, but after tho "Bourbons" hnvo talked against it as much as they please, tho Legislature will fix a day for taking it up and passing it. When tho debt bill is passed tho next thing, according to Mai tone, is the repeal of the capitation tax, so that there will bo no longer n tax qualification for voting in Virginia. Tho judges of the supieino court who nro to decido upon tho readjustment law "will bo appointed early, and when all this is done, Mnhono sayp, "tho Bourbon party in Virginia won't have a leg to stand on." This is a very interesting pro grammo'nud is especially edifying to tho "honest money 'Republicans' of tho North who supported Mnhono as the ml vocato of "a grand and beneficent politi cal reform." THE ASSASSIN'S TlilAb. Thocross-exnminstion of Guiteau by Judgo Porter continued through Thurs day and Friday. Tho jirisoner was by times irascible and sulky and made a most unfavorable impression. His in tenso egotism was displayed to a great er extent than ever before, but beyond tho excessive desire for publicity thero was nothing to show his insanity. At one time ho became furiously excited aud denounced Secretary ISlaine. Ho was allowed all poss'ble freedom, and wound up by slating witli a shout, that ho believed lSlaino was morally respon sible for Garfield's death. On Saturday, Emory A. Storrs, tho fa mous Chicago lawyer, was on the stand for tho defense. He testified that he J'nevcr saw anything in Mr. Guiteau to indicate that he could not distinguish between right and wrong," and that he "uever Baw anything to indicato that ho would not be responsible for crime." This so exasperated Guiteau's sister that sho said "He has perjured himself; that is all there is about it." Senator Davis was next placed upon tho stand. Ho was examined as to tho disagreement be tween President Garfield and Senator Conkling. lie thought that the Repub lican party could only be destroyed by disrupting the Democratic party. Judg ing from the Senator's recent acts, we should imagine that ho had tried his level best to smash both parties. On Monday, medical experts were ex amined. Their testimony rather leaned towards the prisoner's insanity. Guiteau at one criticism of his political speech, said that he had "rather be hanged as a man, than acquitted as a fool." Tho public earnestly hope that he may not be acquitted. THE MEETING OF C0XGHESS. On Saturday last the Republican rep resentatives in Congress, held a caucus for tho nomination of speaker, and other officers of tho House. For Speaker the candidates were, Frank Iliscock, of New York; James W. Keifer, of Ohio; John A. Kasson, of Iowa; Mark II. Duntiell, of Minnesota; Godlovc S. Orth, of In dina; J. C Burrows of Michigan, and Thomas B. Reed of Maine. There was a sharp struggle, and it was not until the sixteenth ballot that Mr. Kiefer had enough votes to effect his nomination. He is of tho Stalwart faction. Edward McPhcrson was chosen Clerk, George W. Hooker, Sergcant-at-arms, Walter P. Brownlow, doorkeeper, Henry Slier wood, postmaster and Rev. F.D. Power, chaplain. Tho Democratic members nominated tho following oflicers: For Speaker, Samuel J. Randall, of Penn sylvania; for Clerk, Georgo M. Adams, of Kentucky; for Sergeant-at arms, John G. Thompson, of Ohio; for doorkeper, Charles W. Field, of Georgia; for post master, A. W. C. Noulin, of Virginia; fsr chaplain, W.P. Harrison, of tho Dis trict. Tho Greenbackers nominated a full set of officers. At the meeting of tho Rouse on Mon day, tho Republican caucus nominees were elected without delay. Three of tho Pennsylvania members voted against MoPherson at first, but wero subsequent ly whipped into tho traces. On calling tho roll 290 members answered to their names. Eight Democrats were absent, but all tho Republicans wero in their seats. The usual committee was ap pointed to wait upon tho President and inform him that tho Ilousa was ready to receive communications. Tho Senate was called to order by Sen ntor Davis, president pro torn. The cre dentials of Senator-elect William Win doin, of Minnesota, wero read, aud ho took his seat. 1 ho benato then proceed ed to business and a largo number of lulls wero introduced. No business of importnucu was trans acted in either house on Tuesday. Senator Cameron however found time to intro duce a resolution in favor of the aboli tion of internal rovenue taxes.

Fivo bottles of St. Jacobs Oil cured him entirely. Kmc ot a Unlit-nail, Sonic months ago the North and West Uranch railroad, or what there was of it, was put upnt BherilT's sale In llloomshurg, and was knocked down to Mr, Charles l'arrlsh aud others. With his accustomed push Mr. l'arrlsh nt once entered actively upon the construction of thu road. It had lain for years waiting for some party to take hold of It. KlTorts had been mndc time and again to get the Pennsylvania Kallrond Company In terested in the building of It, but (hey held aloof, thinking that there was no use paying n largo sum of money to get It In their pos session when eventually it would drop In their laps like n ripe plum, Hut after the llloomshurg sale and tho subsequent Work done in grading and constructing the new line, the Pennsylvania management saw that the time for delay had pased. Their tlrst step was to place obstacles In the way of the building of the road around tho narrows nt Nantlcokc. The courts were appealed to and tho Pennsylvania Co. wero compelled to allow a passage over their lands. Soon after this, negotiations were opened for its purchase, and in a short tlmu the bargain was made and a controlling interest in the line was transferred to the Pennsylvania com pany. Mr. Charles l'arrlsh retains a large share In the road, and will continue to take an active part in its direction and manage ment. A largo forco of men will be kept at work and by the first of next August the road will tie opened toWllkes-llarro aud icady for travel. It has been rumored on tho streets that nn agent of tho Pennsylvania company had purchased the Jennings property on tho corner of Canal and Murket streets fur a de pot, freight houses and so forth, hut it Is not correct. That company has not purchased any property In this city. Wlllei-Jlarre Union-Leader. Court 1'rorreilliiK".
