Mrs. Lincoln, wife of President Lin
coln died in Springfield, Illinois, on
the. 10th inst. from a stroko of paraly
sis. Sho had been ill for a long time.
Alexandria was bombarded by tho
British lleet last Thursday. Tho city
has been abandoned, tho Egyptian
army is greatly demoralized and has
retreated toward tho interior. Largo
portions of tho city have been burned.
It in expected that Secretary Freling
huysen will soon l eaign tins portfolio of
tho Stato dcpaitment, and General
Grant will probably bo appointed in
his place. Grant's straightened pecun
iary circumstances, not being worth
over n couple of million dollars, render
it necessary that the country should
provide for him in ono way or another.
The prediction of n Western railroad
President, Mr. Iugalls, that tho lines
from tho Southwest to Cincinnati, and
oven tho trunk lines to tho seaboard,
will bo choked with grain, so heavy is
this year's crop of wheat, is a pleasant
one. Since last year's exports of edi
bles fell off from tboso of 1880, good
crops now will help to make up tho
average.
Ilubbcll still (tends out assessment
circulars. Somo of tho employees at
tho Carlisle Indian school have been
asked to contribute, nnd lately tho day
laborers at Hell Gato wero asked for
$17.50 apieco toward tho Republican
corruption fund. Tho men say they
aro poorly paid and cannot meet tho
demand. This is ono of tho outrageous
practices tho Independents aro fighting.
Tho story which has been widely cir
culated to the effect that ox-Governor
Curtin has expressed himself as being
dissatisfied with Mr. Pattison's candi
dacy, and as believing that the notui

denied. Mr. Curtin said lie never ut
tered such Bentiments, nor words of any
sort which could bo truthfully tortured
into such an opinion.
John B. Storm has been suggested
for Congress in the Eleventh district.
Mr. Storm was elected twice from this

CongressmanUutterworth lias attain
ed a most unenviable notoiiity by using
vulgar and obscene language on tho
floor of the House at Washington. The
newspapers aro demanding his oxpul

who has so little regard for his reputa
tion as to use language so foul as to
drive iadies from the gallery, would
seem to 00 tuo kind ot a creaturo his
constituents should recall. The House

The two factions of tho Republican
arty, throimh their rcspectivo commit

a compromise, 11 possiuie, 01 men un
fioultios. Tho Stalwart committee, after
somo discussion, agreed to submit

L. Carson nnd Francis D. Itecves, not In conflict,
however, with tho acts ot Assembly regulating

party In N01 ember, provided if such convention
can bo agreed to, said convention to bo held not

Four of tho independent candidates in
a letter addressd to all tho stalwart can
didates, agreed to accept tho third
proposition on condition that both
tickets be withdrawn, tho several can
didates to pledgo themselves not to ac
cept nny cubsequent nomination by tlio
proposed convention. Col. McMichacl
tho independent nominee for congress-man-at-lartrc,
refused to withdraw. He
says : "I will not withdraw or retire
unless events hereafter shall give assur
nnco that necessary reform 10 tho civil
service shall bo adopted j assessments
made upon olrieo holders returned and
not hereafter exacted: boss, machine
nnd spoils methods forovcr abandoned t
and all our public offices, from United
States Senators to tho most unimport
ant officials, shall bo filled only by hon
est and capable men, who will represent
tho people and not attempt to dictate to
or control them. I shall no on with
tliis fight, asking tho support of all my
fellow citizens who beliovo in tho prin
ciples of tlio Independent Republican
convention of May 24."
Uhairman Cooper says that the weav
er party will not agree to the Independ
ent proposition, and there can bo no
compromise on that ground. The fight
will therefore go on.
The Use of Money in Elections.
It is utterly vain to hope for improve
ment in the character of legislation or
in administration ot government as
long as elections aro controlled by,
money. Tho politicians who pay to get
or to retain office, whether in tho form
of political assessments or voluntary
contributions,arc as a rulo'incllncd to get'
back their money out ot the govern
ment. If they1 have bought a seat in
the legislature they expect to reimburse
themselves by making merchandise of
their votes and influence. If they have
paid their way into departments they
find plenty of opportunity' to recoup
themselves at the publio expense. Nor
is tbo case dittcrent when tno othcer
comes by Ids commission through the
infiuenco of1 money paid by others. Ho
knows that his election or appointment
was duo to corrupt means, and feels
that ho would not degrade himself
much by using corruptly tho ollico
which was corruptly obtained. It is
the samo old story. The stream can
not bo pure it tho fountain is unclean.
That word fountain, by the way, is
suggestive of tho' ' source, of political
power, tho people. Has that fountain
been sutliciently stirred tor its punhca-
tioi) of tlio polluting offect of tho use of
money in elections T Is there a strong,
healthy, active publio sentiment against
iuu corrupnou oi jiuiuiuiuuB, vuiurti
aud election officers t Tho approach
ing canvass will furnish tlio answer.
The stalwart managers aro raising in
tlio boldest and most shameless man
ner nn immense lund tor tno purposo
of influencing the election. They mean
to pay tho way for their candidates
wherever toll will bo taken. They re
ly for success upon their ability to buy
a victory which they cannot otherwise
command. Their opponents aro unablo
to meet them in tho market, and tlioy
ought not to compete with them if they
had tho wealth of Ormus or of Ind.
There is but ono tiling to be dono by
tlio friends of pure elections and honest
government, nnd that is to make tho
issue plain and strong and irrepressible
against the use of money in politics.
Let the laws applicable to tho matter
be vigorously enforced against all of
fenders. Let watch bo kept for tho
bribe-giver and the bribe-taker, and
"let no guilty man escape." Patriot.
Manipulating the Eeoord.
Mr. Hewitt complains, with reason,
that Mr. Robeson lias mado an assault
on him in tlio Congressional Record
in lauauago never uttered on the floor
of the House. Tho official stenographer
does not hud tho ottensivo language in
his notes, and Mr. Robeson does not
donv Mr. Hewitt's charge.
It is a common thing for members to
mako the Jlecord bear false witness.
Thev put into tlio congressional dump-
heap speeches never delivered ; or, they
withold their remarks "tor revision
and print an essay very different from
tlio speech made beforo tho House.
Witliolding for revision thus frequently
becomes a pretext for printing for homo
consumption remarks that would not be
allowed before ttio House. When
member is assailed under cover of tho
printed pages no member takes tho
tronblo to complain, and it is rare that
anybody takes so bold a liberty as m
Robeson lias taken. What ho did cer
tainly was neither manly nor honest, and
no rcbuko which the house could ad
minister would be too severe.
This unsavory episode ought to sug
gest to Congress that it is tinio to mako
tho Jlecord what it purports to be, an
honest report of what is said nnd dono
in tho two houses, no moro nnd no less.
Official reporters aro provided for that
purpose, and while members might bo
allowed to do somo revising for stylo
and to revise out too frequent , gram
matical errors, tlioy ought uot to uo al
lowed tho latitudo which a very strain
ed idea of courtesy lias permitted In
tlio case of Mr. Robeson it takes noth
ing from his offenso to charge back on
Mr. Hewitt that ho ndded tho weight
of his indorsement to tho Morey letter
forgery. Mr, Hewitt Imd the manli
ness to acknowledge that he had been
duped in that miserable business, nnd
to mako what amends ho could for tho
wrong to which ho had been unconsci
ously a party. But if Mr. Uowitt had
forged tho Morey letter that would not
justify Mr, Robeson's froo use of
Government types to revenge himself
on a fellow member by sharp practice.
Tho ootirso which Air. Robeon choso
was unparliamentary and unmanly, and
that is tho least that can bo said of it.

THE PENSION BIUi.
Th)dnsior bill wnrf passed by tho
scnattuliwt'liriufty. McssrsA Book nnd
Plural) each 'made' speeches of such
lentrthton tho bill lhat it wns found im
possible to gavon,withi any other work.
Tlio only ohmitre nmdo in tho bill ns re
ported from tho committed was to
striko out of tlio clauso that requires
tho Secretary of the interior to trans
mit n list of- pensioners to Congress
each year. Mr. Beck several days ngo
proposed to publish in tho ncWspapors
in each county in the United "States tho
names' of all the pensioners, nnd claims
for pensions, mid amounts paid or
claimed by residents of thn county,
Ho also proposed to post n list contain
ing this information in each Post Of
fico, so that tho friends and neighbors
of pensioners could detect fraudulent
cases. In urging the adoption of this
amendment Senator Beck sharply crit
icised the pension system.
Ho said 103,000,000 would bo required
to settle tho pension list and pay tho
expenses of tho Pension Ollico this yenr.
Mr. Piatt, of Connecticut, said that
Mr. iBeck hail omitted to add twenty
fivo or thirty millions of dollars that
would undoubtedly bo required to meet
n deficiency in tho appropriations for
pensions. Mr. Beck said that he was
in constant receipt of letters complain
ing that men wero on tho pension list
who had no business to bo there, nnd
ho named General Len Harris, of Cin
cinatti, and several gentlemen who had
given hitn this information. Ho said
that no. honest pensioner would com
plain of tlio posting of his namo nnd
tlio amount of his pension in n public
place. Senator Plumb said tho Sena
tor from Kentucky had repeated tho
old, old story heard so often in tlio Sen
nto reflecting upon tho integrity of pen
sioners. Ho defended tho pension roll
and tho administration of tho Pension
Bureau, declaring that tho roll was as
honest as it was possible for it to be,
and that tho management of tho Bureau
was first-class in every 'particular i ho
did not think it was at all extraordi
nary that there should be r0,000 fraud
ulent pensioners in a list of 250,000,
and as for tho payment of a hundred
millions of dollars n year to tho wound
ed survivors of tlio war for tho defense
of tho Union, that was a matter of no
consequence. IIu said tho soldiers ot
the Union army did good work, nnd ho
thanked God there was something now
to show for it. Ho did not begrudge a
penny that was paid them. Senator
Logan also opposed the Back amend
ment, and it was ruled out of order on
a point made by Senator Plumb.
Building an Ark,
A CUANK IN PENNSYLVANIA I'ltlUWUINIl
fok another ri.oon.
For several weeks past tho curiosity
of passengers on tho Allegheny Valley
railroad has beeii excited by a curious
looking contrivance in course of con
struction on. tlio bauk of tho Allegheny!
river, near Pine Creek, a station be-,
tween Pittsburg aud Red Bank. An
Oil City Derrick reporter has boon
down to 'flook into it" Ho saysJolm
K. Randolph,, the namo of the genius
wno is building the ark, or "luo-savmg
ship," as ho terms it, is a man well ad
vanced in lifo. His locks aro rr.iv.
his form is bent and decrepit, and his
eyes have a strange look, which plainly
indicates that ho is so, to use a commou
and vulgar expression, a "little off his
base." This ark hallucination took pos
session of his faculties about threo
months ago. During a long and heavy
rain storm ho conceived tho idea that
tho world was soon to bo visited by a
terrible flood like unto Noah's time,
and simultaneously with this thought
came the ono of building ,nn ark. Ho
brooded over tho thing for somo days
and in spito of all the scoffing of his
friends and relatives he decided to
commonco tho building of au enor
mous boat, modeling after tho antiquat
ed concern of good, old Noah as much
as possible. Tuo dimensions of the
"floater" are 228 feet in length by 48
feet wide. It will bo 10 feet high and
will draw two feet six inches of water.
Its capacity will bo one hundred tons.
There .will bo two decks, upper aud
lower. Tho lower deck will be divid
ed off into innumerable compartments,
which will contain all tho different
specimens of domestic .and wild ani
mals that the crank can procure, in
pairs, between the timo of
tho completion of tho "ark and tlio ad
vent of tho flood, which ho has set
down on his "log book" for October
latu ot this year. Tlio upper deck will
bo for humanity, and tlio projector's
aim will bo to have all trades and pro
fessions represented, especially the
newspaper. Randolph is giving tlio con
struction of the sloop his personal at
tention, tuo hrst deck is well under
way and ho confidently expects to have
it in readiness for the grand finale by
the first of September.
What They Deserve.
A Washington dispatch of tlio 18th
says: Tho reports that reach here
that Robeson and Kcifer may bo re.
tired to private lifo give more general
gratification than it might bo agreeable
for those gentlemen to hear. If Keif or
is beaten for tlio nomination tlio Re
publicans will bo rescued from a very
awkward dilemma. Scarcely any ono
wishes his re-election to tho speaker
ship, and yet to cliango tho candidate
would uo to confess lhat tho party
blundered in Its original selection. In
Robeson thd Republicans recognizo a
man of great ability as a party leader,
but his record Is so vulnerable that his
presenco is a source of constant annoy
ance, and latterly ho has mado two or
threo grievous mistakes ns a manager

portion of tho city where tho conflagra

first declared the soldiers wero only
meant for tho protection of tlio Khedive,
hut at tlio last moment ho told tho men,
to kill tho Khedive. The soldiers, hear

Thcro is a strong belief that Arabi

THE KlIEDiVE's WISHES AND FKAKS.
Admiral Seymour to day received a
letter from Ragheb Paoha, President
of tho.Egyptian Ministry, stating that
tho warlike preparations Arabi is now
making aro against tho will ot tho
Khedive nnd tlio Government; that
the Khedive lias ordered Arabi to sus
pend these operations, aud that ho has
finally decided to dismiss him, but that.
owing to the danger of a repetition of
the Alexandria massacro at Cairo, he
has decided to temporarily withhold tho
official announcement of dismissal from
publication. Dervisch Pacha says that
he has sent fifteen messages to Constan
tinople asking tho i oito to dispatch
Turkish troops to Egypt, but lias not
received any answer to any or his com
munications. Tho troops on tho Ta-
mar disembarked to day, increasing the
British land forces to a total of 0,000

Tho war steamer Helicon has in
tercepted two regiments going to Port
Said from Cyprus, and ordered them to
Alexandria.
Admiral Soymour lias offered rations
to all ligyptian soldiers who return at

a great inducement to loyalty, and will
increaso tlio forces so as to enablo pres
sing sanitary measures to bo carried
out. Admiral noymour this morning
issued a manifesto announcing that ho
has undertaken, with tho consent of tho
Egyptian Government, tlio' restoration
ot order. Uo has also issued orders
nobody shall bo allowed to leavo tho

Tho occupation of Egypt in case of

six months, us previously reported.
tho objects of tho occupation will pro.

Kent bccnmoMrs. Miller in March last.
Now conies tho singular part of the
story. On Friday. Kent, a spectator
at Sell's brothers' show, was accosted
by ono of his own children. Explnna.
tions resulted in the meeting of husband
and wife and a meeting of tlio two
benedicts. By mutual agreement tho
lady was allowed to chooso between tho
two better halves, nnd sho chose Kent,
her first husband. In a fit of anger,
as the reunited pair claim, Miller
has preferred a chargo which now stands
against them in tho police court.
A Promise to the Dying not Binding.
When William Anderson, of Blair
county, wns dying his wife Juno prom
ised him that she would endeavor to
agree to tho terms of his will. After
his death sho gave n paper to thu ex
ecutors, carrying out that agreement,
Sho was told, however, that she hud
simply relinquished 4,000 of her dow
or. Sho consequently revoked thu
agreement and put in her claim for ono
third of tho estate, which was valued
at $30,000. Tho other heirs Bought to
hold her to her written promise, and
when the county common pleas decid
ed against them appealed to the su
premo court. Tho latter tribunal nlso
supported her and said: "It matters not
what Mrs. Anderson's motive was in
electing to tako under tho will. A
promise to tlu.t effect mado to her hus
band was clearly not binding on her.''
