A novel ilodgo to dofratul tho gov.
crnmontlirw just been discovered by
tho Internal Uivcnuo ilareflti a barrel
ho constructed that tho stavo imme
diately nbout tho bung and tho
corresponding Btavo on tho opposite
sido ot tho barrel woro of unusual
thlcknoss, thus giving a smaller diamo
tor when tho gaugor measures tho vea
sol. Through this dovioo, about
two gallons of every barrel escaped tho
tax.
For local Stato purposes tho Green
backers of Iowa havo agreed to unito
with the Democrats at the next elec
tion, claiming tho Lieutenant Governor
and Superintendent ot I'uollo instruc
tion n? their share of tho ticket and
conceding tho Governor and Judge of
tho supromo uourt. umieriuo pro
position, if agreed to by both parties,
tho chances nre in favor of tho fusion,
and ultimately tlte triumph of Demo
cracy straight in tho blooming Stato of
lowa.
Tho platform adopted by tho Ropub.
lican Stato Convention last week, is
printed in full elsowhere. It consists
mainly of a ro-hash of everything that
the party has been advocating in
theory for tho last twenty years, but
ignoring in practice. It advocates the
repeal of internal rovenuo taxes, which
it failed to repeal when it had all tho
branches of the government under its
control. It advocates a civil servico
reform which it failed to practice when
it was in power and filled all offices
with partisans. Having always fost
ered monopolies, it throws out an in
vitinrr bait to labor. It howls at tho
"unjust war'' of tho administration
against "offensive partisans,'' forgetful
ot tho fact that more republicans havo
been appointed to oflico by President
Clevelaud in four months than any re
publican I'rosidcnt ever appointed In
that many years. It criticises Gover
nor Pattison for his exerciso of tho
veto power, and winds up with a eulo
gy on Quay, tho machino candidate for
state treasurer.
Tho platform contains nothing new
or startling, and is of tho usual regula
tion character.
Among tho bills passed by the last
Legislature and approved by tho Gov
ernor was one which will tend to cur
tail the length of tho session of tho
Legislature. Sinco tho adoption of the
new constitution members ot tuo ieg'
islaturo havo been paid $1,000 for a
session not exoeeding ono hundred
days, and $10 a day for not exceeding
htty days. Tno per diem componsa-
tion has been an incentive to prolong
the session until tho expiration of 150
days. The bill approved by tho UoV'
crnor allows tho members 1,500 a re
cular session, and $500 a special sc-
sion. It also provides pay for the
Chief Clerks, Senate Librarian and Re
sident Clerk of tho House during the
years in which no sessions aro held, and
generally increases the compensation
ot tho principal omcers.
In approving tho bill the Governor
says : "I desiro to say, that, as to a
number of the employees of the Legis
lature, 1 regard tno compensation hxed
as extravagant. The general purpose
of tho measure, however, in fixing a
definite salary for the members of the
uaneral assembly, commends itself to
my approval so strongly that I have
concluded to affix my signature to the
bill, ami content myself with this pro
test agaiust tho excessivo salaries giv
en to some of tho subordinates.trustincr
that subsequent legislation may correct
The New Marriage Law to be Evaded,
Jersey ministers and Justices of the
Peaco rub their hands with glee as they
contemplate tho fat Marriage fees
wiiicn are to tall to ttieir lot alter Uc
tober, first, next. "Love laughs at
locksmiths." and so it will chuckle at
the Pennsylvania law. Instead of par
ading before the publio the fact that
tjiey intend to get married the roman
tic couples will slyly slip to Jersov and
there meet a minister who will tie the
knot and thus Bave their money. Tho
Philadelphia Jletord says : "Tho Jor
Bey justices aro already seeking quar
ters near tho ferries. Planked shad
dinner?, with wedding accompaniments,
will become one of the features of tho
trips to Gloucester, and overv well
regulated hotel will keep a raiuister or
justice near at hand to accommoJato
those who fleo from tho rigors of tho
law here. Thousands of marriages
which take placo here every year will
dwindle away, and Jersey will become
the Mecca of tho lovers. It is even in
contemplation to fit up bridal cabins on
tho ferry boats, and the competition
among tho various lines to secure the
travel of intending brides and grooms
will bo great."
The Tenure of Office.
VX SKKATOIl UUCKAI.KW'S UKVIKW OF
THIS 1'OWKlt OF I1KMOVAI. TIIK
PIUISIIIK-NT AND TIIK
SENATE.
Ex-Senator Charles It. Ihieknluw
was in the Senate when the tenure of
ollieo laws were passed, and his rino
legal experience euablcs him to form a
vury clear judgment as to the proper
iiuerprciauou oi mem. in a pampti
let just issued by Mr. lluckalew the
following extracts present tho vital
points of tho question :
At tho session of Congress in 1835
an organized assault upon the Presi
dent's power of removal was made in
tho Senate, in which the champion of
nullification and the champions of a
...:..i i. ...i ' i i
liaiiuiuil uau& WUIU UUIlttpiUUOUB leaci-
ers. Jackson had crushed nullification
, and killed tho bank, and tho embitter
ed champions of both united in au at
tempt to cripple and curb his power,
Tho record of that abortivo experi
ment appears in tho journals and do
bates of tho Senate, and it is full of in.
Htruction.
Tho coalition of Webster, Calhoun
ami Clay upon that ocoasion was un.
natural and in tho nature of things
could not mdiire. They wero rivals
for publio favor and all of them aspi
rants for the Presidency j their consti
tutional vi-nvs were inharmonious and
to a great extent confliiting.aiid it was
very certain thatifsucccssfulin putting
down Jackson thoy would break with
each othor. In fact, thoy did break
apart within twenty-four months with
mutual reproaches and recriiniualion.
Hut for a time their union was, appa
rently, earnest and sincere. If not ono
of affection, it was at least ono of com
mon interest and common passions.
And thoso men camo to the encountor
with tho President fully equipped for
war. Thoy wero in tho highest credit
as loaders of dobato t thoir speeches
went ovcry where and reaohod and woro
read by all. Tho wood-chopper in tho
forosts ot Maine, tno planter oy mo
Southern gulf, the pioneer of tho far
West and tho banker, merchant and
workmen in tho great cities of tho
East, wero aliko delighted and charm
ed to sco thorn, and now and hereafter
tho scholar in his study must indorso
and applaud tho contemporary popular
judgment upon their merits.
Mr. Calhoun brought to dobate a
power of analysis and a olearness of
thought whioh no speaker in tho
American Congress lias over oxcoucu.
His stylo was masterly for his pur
poso. No meretricious ornament dis
figured and no disfuscness weakenod it.
It was clear, strong, simple, condens
on. His lanauairo was. in fact, assim-
plo and as puro as Franklin's, nud, like
that ureat master of composition, ho
oemmanded fit words at wil'. To
hear him was to bellovo in his sincer
ity, in his candor, in tho depth and in
tegrity of his convictions. In deliv
ery ho combined earnestness with dig
nity, and tho known purity of his lifo
added n moral sanction to his spoken
words.
Mr. Webster, as a speaker on great
occasions rankfs, perhaps, first among
Americans. In parliamentary eloquence
ho was, in some respects, surpenor to
Burke,and it may be predicted with con
fidence that his reputation will cuduro.
Ho will bo honorably mentioned when
tho great speakers of tho world aro
classified and their performances are
reviowed. Ho was not "godlike," but
he was great and his blow? in contro
vorsv weto tho blows of a olnut.
For immediate effect upon an aud
ience, tho speeches of Mr. Clay wero
not inferior to thoso of M his coadjutors.
In fire, dash, and enthusiasm ho was
a very unpen ot iicoaie. auu in im
passioned retort a master. In dcliv
ory imprcssivo and graceful, ho was
yet upon occasion terriblo in inveo-
tivo and sometimes overueanug in win.
Ho was filled to lead in great struggles
to win admiration from foe3 and to
take, as of right, a splendid position in
the histsry of his time.
These wero the men who stood for
ward to question that removing power
of tho President and to deprivo that
power of all locical support. Hut they
wholly disagreed with each other about
tho source of tho power, and also, in
the main, about its regulation. Tho
argument of each ono of them was des
tructive ot tno arguments ot tno otuers.
Their views wero not only diverse,
but inconsistent, and not only nicon
sistent, but contradictory. Ono of
them derived tho power from tho now-
er to appoint and vested it by impli
cation in tho President and Sonatej
another admitting its executivo naturo'
placed the control and regulation ot it
m Congrcs?,bv virtue of tho last clam
01 llio ciguiu seciiuu ui titu una ai uuiu,
tho third argued inconclusively
agaiust all reason and authority that
it was ruiuur lugisiuuyu muii ;acuu
tivo in its nature, and therefore class
ed it among tho incidental powers of
Congress.
If anything woro needed to confirm
our acceptance and approval of tho
Marshall and Madison expositions of
tho appointing and removing powers
of the government, it would be fur
nished by that debate ot ibdo. iso
foro questioning tho settled construc
tion of tho Constitution upon tho sub
ject of removals from office, "tuo
dauntless three." should havo at least
agreed upon tho new construction to
bo substituted for it, and prepared
themselves to viudicato the new uc
parture by harmonious and consistent
reasoning.
THE ACTS OK 18G7 AND 18G0.
By tho act of 1809 tho President is
to send a nomination to tho Senate
within twenty days after it shall meet,
lor tho placo of the suspended olhccr.
It the senate, during the session, shall
refuse consent to tho nomination, then,
and not otherwise, ho shall at the
samo session send in another nomination
as soon as practicable. At this point
the suspension section abruptly ends,
without declaring what shall bo done,
or what result will follow in caso tho
Senate shall not concur in the sec
ond nomination.
Tho act of 18G7, in its second see
tion, had very explicitly declared that
in case the seuate should reluso to
concur in tho suspension of au officer,
such othcer should "torthwith resume.
tho functions of his oflico and tho
powers of the person so performing iti
duties in his xtcad should cease.
Hut as the section is repealed, there is
no express provision ot law lor tno re
instatement of a suspended officer.
And thero can bo no lufcroncu in favor
of his reinstatement at any time dur
ing tho session, not only because- the
1 resident is to send in a second uom
inalion, in caso a first ono is rejected,
but for tho stronger reason that tho
designation of another to perforin his
duties is expressly mado to extond
to the end ot the session.
Hut it is to bo inferred that tho officer
will bo entitled to rcsumo his olliuo
immediately after adjournment ot tho
Senate, unless again suspended by tho
rresiacitt. Por then tho tune for
which another person was designated
to perform tho duties of tho oflico will
havo expired, and as tho theory of law
is that a suspension docs not create a
vacancy, his right to tho office in
abeyance during the suspension re
vives when tho session ends. Hut,
beyond question, tho Presidont may
again suspend him on tho adjournment
of tho Senate, or afterwards, for tho
power of suspension is general, and
may bo used by tho President in any
recess according to his unlimited dU
crction, or in other words at pleasure
Tho very difference in principle and
detail between tho acts of 1807 and
18G9,on tho subject of Huspiii'iou, is
caiily accounted for Tho act of 1807
was made for Johnson, tho act of 18C9
for Grant tho former to curb, the lat
ter to relieve, a President of the
United States. Johnson was to sus
pend only for specitio cause nnd upon
evidence, and was to repoi t tho evi
denco with reasons for his action to
the Senate, and obtain their approval
before ho could oven nominalo a sun
cessortOa tho suspended officer. lie
was put in tho attitude of an accuser
before tho Senate, bound to maintain
his complaint by evidences nnd if tho
Senate, for any cause, proper or not,
disagreed with him, tho suspended
olliocr was forthwith restored to ollieo
and imposed upon tho President as au
assistant in executivo administration.
And unless fresh legal causo for sus
pension was furnished by the officer
afterwards, ho was imposed upon the
President for the wliolo remainder of
tho officer's official torm. Hut Grant
and his successors woro, by the act of
18C9, to bo relieved from these embar
rassing and obicclionablo roculations.
Suspensions, though Btill to bo mado
only in recess, wero to bo disoretlonary,
lo oonttnuo to tho end of tho noxt boss-
ion, not to bo rcportod to or aotcd
upon by tho Senato, nud in no ovent
was tho Presidont to havo a suspondod
officer rolm nosed upon him against his
v. .11. it Jollowsthat umioritiooxtRitng
law tho Sonato havo nothing to do dir
ectly with suspensions from office) tho
responsibility for them will rest wholly
upon tho President by whom thoy nre
mado. Tho Senate's responsibility will
bo for consent or dissent expressed
upon tho now nomination submitted
to it by tho President, nnd will relate
mainly to tho fitness of nominees.

as amended in 18G9, relating to taint)

resignation, or expiration of term, do
parts from tho vacancy in-rccess pro
vision of tho Constitution in not in
cluding all vacancies whioh may hap
pen in recess. Uy its specification of
particular kinds of vacancy it excludes
all others, oven thoso resulting from
conviction of certain crimes against
tho United States. Hut if tho prohi
bition of Presidential removals in tho
first section of tho net in 1869 is con
fined to removals of officers holding
for fixed statutory terms, then it is
clear that cither in session or in recess
removals may bo mado of officers not
holding for hxod terms (Judges ex
cepted,) nnd that tho quostion of Pres
idential power in recess to fill vacan
cies thus produced remains wholly un
affected by thoso acts of 18G7 and
18G9.

Magistrates will do well to tako no

Marriage and Divorce.
AN EXACT COl'V OK TIIK DOCUMENT DIS-
T1IIUUTED TO THE 1'. K. CIIUUCIIKS
OK CENTItAI, PENNSYLVANIA,
SUNDAY, JULY 5, 1885.
The following remarks on tho sub
ject of Marriage and Divorce were
mado by tho liishop ot Ueutral Penn
sylvania in his address to tho Con
vention of the Diocese on June 9,
1885, and on tho following day an or
der was adopted by that body, that
5,000 copies of that portion of tho
Bishop's address bo issued in tract
torm and distributed through tho Dio
ccso:
The thrco Dioceses contained in this
Commonwealth havo now all con
curred in the expediency of organizing
under tho canon winch allows tho for
mation of a Federate Council when
ever jurisdiction related as these aro
desire it, and all havo appointed depu
ties to represent them in such a body,
There are many matters in which they
liavo a common interest, and on which
their joint expression of judgment and
concert of action would provo more
potent and effective than their separ
ate and perhaps variant proceedings,
Whenever any legislation is required
for tho security and improvement of
publio morals, or for the protection or
dcliveranco of tho church, tho plea
would obtain trom tho civil power a
much mora favorable hearing if tho
church in her majesty would speak
with strong, united voice her deep con
victions and most positivo desires. It
is notorious that in this, as in almost
every state in tho Union, tho laws on
marriago and divorco aro vory lax, and
that homo lifo is thereby lamentably
degenerated in tone, in purity and sta
bility. The statutes in this Common
wealth do not enjoin such prelimina
ries to tho formalities of marriage as
must nsuro to the parties principally
concerned some timo for consideration,
and Borne notice of their intention to
their families and friends. Evidence
that the contracting parties havo both
attained to lull age, or havo tho con
sent of parents or guardians, might
properly bo required. In somo of the
States no minister or other official is at
liberty to conduct a marriage ceremony
without a certificate from tho Town
Clerk whore .tho betrothed resido re
spectively, that their intentions havo
been entered at his office and by him
been advertised for two weeks before
tho wedding. If tho Legislature can
not be induced to erect even tho slight
obstruction in the way of secret, hasty.
and ill-advised marriages, I could wish
mat at least m this church tho old
practico of publishing tho banns on
threo successivo Sundays might bo re
vived and mado obligatory.
Tho civil-contract idea of which
most of our looso legislation respectimr
marriago is predicated has almost
crowded out the recognition of its sa
credness. And consequently alliances
aro lightly tunned ; and being in many
canes found to havo been unwiso and
productive ol misery, a wildly diss!
nalcd publio sentiment has called for
and has scoured legislation which fa
vors their easy dissolution. Laws that
niaKo divorco easy on insufficient and
demoralizing pretexts aro tho natural
and logical beqiicl and complement of
inws mat mane clandestine and precipi
into marriage easy, it is high tirao
that tho religious world gave attention
to tho iniquities that multiply in tho
utmvi mu Bauuiiuil 1)1 lliesu 1ICCU-
tious laws. Their existence wero rea
son enough for tho calling of somo icn
resentave council that might appeal 111
tho name of the primitivo and Ados.
tolio Churoh in this Commonwealth to
Jaw-makers for somo righteous changes
in legislation on marriago and divorco.
Wo aro Bhocked bv tho barbarous
polygamy of thu Mormons, and nro
clamoiing to have it suppressed by thu
strong hand of the government. If
persons may under our statutes assume
marital relations on brief novuaintanco
and with littlo ceremony, and nt their
oaprice, or any tiirasy pretext, get re
lease and form other equally fragile
connections, havo wo not a polygamy
as u;ui m essence, iiiougn not as abhor
rent In aspect among ourselvesT
Let tho Federate Council of tho Dio
cosed in Pennsylvania organize, and
maku its first essay in practical useful
ness by appealing with united and ear
nest volco to tho civil power for somo J
modification of tho laws rclattng to
marriago, by which thoy may bo
brought into olosor accord with tho
law of God, and tho sanollty of tho re
lation may get some shadow ot recog
nition. Persons innocent of any in
tention to transgress tho rulo of tho
gospel and tho church, find thcmsolvcs,
having conformed to tho laws of tho
land, liable to deprivation of sacra
mental privileges for breach of ecclesi
astical dlsuipllnoi nud tho remnant of
their lives is mado uneasy through fear
that relations which thoy cannot aban
don nro involving them in dally aggra
vated sin. Tno law or tno btato and
tho lav of tho churoh ought not to bo
conliiotiiig, nnd both ought to bo ac
cordant with tho law of God. And it
is a duty incumbent on tho church to
do .ill In her power to bring about this
essential harmony of dlyine, ecclesias
tical nud civil law.
It was further ordered that to this
extract from tho Bishop's address bo
appended tho canon ot tho Protestant
Episcopal church in tho United States
on tho samo subject :
TITLE II. Canon 13.
OK M.MtltlAdi: AND DIVOKCE.
I. If any person bo joined to
gether othcrwiso than God's word does
allow, their marriago is not lawful.
II. No minister knowingly, after
duo inquiry, shall solemnize iho mar
riage of any person who has a divorced
husband or wife still living, if such
husband or wifo has been put away for
any causo arising after marriago ; but
this canon shall not bo held to apply to
tho innocent paity in a divorco for the
causo of adultery, or to parties onco
divorced seeking to bo united again.
III. If any minister of this church
shall have roasonablo causo to doubt
whether a person desirous of being ad'
mitted to holy baptism, or to oonfirmr
tion, or to tho holy communion, has
boon married othcrwiso than as the
word of God and tho disciplino of this
church allow, such minister, before re
ceiving such person to these ordinan
ces, shall refer tho case to tho Bishop
for his godly judgment thereupon :
Provided, however, that no minister
shall, iD any case, refuso the sacra
monts to a penitent person in immi
nent danger of death.
IV. Questions touching tho facts of
any caso arising under Section II. of
this canon shall be referred to the
Bishop of tho Diocese or Missionary
Jurisdiction, in whioh tho same occur;
or if there bo no Bishop of such Dio
ceso or Missionary Jurisdiction, then
to somo Bishop to bo designated by
tho Standing Committee; and tho
Bishop to whom such questions havo
been referred shall thereupon inako in-
i ; , . . . ,,

V. This canon, bo far as it affixes
penalties does not apply to cases occur
ing before it takes affect, according to
Canon 4, Title IV. (This canon took
effect January 1.-1878.)
Bepnblicau Platform.
The following is the platform in full
adopted by the Republican Convention
last week:
The Republicans of Pennsylvania, in
convention assembled, realhrm their
unfaltering faith in the cardinal princi
ples of the Republican party, and will
adhere to them so long as the contest
between right and wrong continues
Beaten, but not cast down in tho lato
Presidential election, and advancing
confidently to another struggle, they
declare :
Tho Republican party of Pennsylva
nia proclaims its advocacy of tho repeal
of tho internal revenue taxes, except
upon spirituous and malt liquors. Tho
revenues necessary for alibcral suppoit
of the government and tho payment of
pensions to every disabled soldier, their
widows and orphans, nnd ot tho prin
cipal and interest of tho publio debt
should bo raised by an additional levy
on imports and with a view to lift busi
ness from its present and guard it from
luturo depression.
Wo insist not onlv upon full protec
tion to all homo industries, but upon a
prompt revival ot our commercial ma-
rino and the promotion of foreign com
merco by proper discount of duties ira
posed on goods importod in American
bottoms, and proper bounties to goods
exported to American bottoms. The
live issues of tho present campaign aro
protection to American industry, not
only through adequate tariff laws, but
such as will cltectually stop tho impor
tation of foreign contract labor.
Tho establishment of a true system
ot civil service, ono which will give
competent officers, and yet not bind
either the political thoughts or actions
of American citizens ; ono which will
givo a fixed tenure of oflico and no re
moval during tho term of ollieo except
for adequato publio cause.
The necessity for the enforcement of
tho right of ovry voter within our nat
ional boundaries to freely oast bis bal
lot and havo tho samo fairly counted
at the elections, and to give to each and
every man in whatover section of tho
land he may dwell that equal and ado-
quato protection before tho law to which
ho is justly entitled.
Tho preservation of a sound finan
cial system ; the maintenance of a cur
rency worth 100 cents on tho dollar at
all timos redecmablo in coin, tho pro
tection of tho National Treasury from
unwarranted and especially from dis
loyal claims ; tho maintenance of tho
credit of our government as established
by Republican administrations ; a just

wilh foreign powers and a olosor inter
course with theso on tho American oon
tinent ; to provido resolutely for tho
protection ot American national and
industrial independence ; to maintain
the standard of tho social condition,
which in contrast to the c'ucuinstances
of other countries, American labor has
thus Jar enjoyed ; to continue tho con
test with undiminished courncro in bo
half of our development against tho
uiiumiuiia imiuuiiccs oi loreigu capital
secKing possession ot our markot i to
establish the truth in tho government
ot the country that tho highest duty of
mu lupuuuc, not only to its own peo
ple, but to all, is to presorvo its pros
perous existence, thus to compel by its
examplo tho modification of harsh sys
terns and tho political emancipation of
other peodlce. To all of theso genoral
iseues tho Republican party of Penn
sylvania, and wo bellevo of the nation
in general, accords its most aggressivo
support.
Iho Ilopublicau party, recognizing
labor as tho basis on which tho princi
ple of our government is founded, bo
lieves tho labor masses should receive
the fullest consideration in measures
for their education and protection. It
has already, through its legislative ma
jority, enacted laws furtheiing tho in
dnstiies of the Stato j the interests of
its mining population i protootlng lion
ebt labor against tho unwarranted com.
petition of convict labor ; removing
taxes from manufacturing corpora
tions, thereby giving promise of re
munerative employment to thoso sudor-1
ing lrom tho prevailing depression
legalizing co-operative, productlvo in
dustries i providing or irco education
in the industrial arts, as well as others
tending to tho goneral good of thoso
who toil. Wo condemn nil contracts
for tho importation of foreign labor as
tending to rcduco to starvation tho
wages of tho laboring men of Pennsyl
vania, nnd demand that tho existing
laws ngainst this will bo strlctlycnforo
cd. We, at tho samo time, invito publio
attention to tho acts of tho present
Democratio national and Btato adminis
trations, to tho unjust war of the for
mer upon "offonsivo partisans" ; to its
hypocritical avoidance of iiledges touch
ing tho civil service j to its star cham
ber proceedings against Republicans
for whoso removal no publioreason can
bo given, and to its constantly disloyal
prolorenco for tho rebel elements of tho
Democrats party of tho South and the
semi rebel elements of thu party of tho
North.
Some attention lo tho acts of the
Democratio Btato administration can
not bo withheld, on account of its un
just, inoxcusablo and painfully frcquont
abuse of tho veto power ; its studied
proscription of tho Union Boldier nnd
denial of claims universally sanctioned
at tho time of his enlistment ; its want
of charity, breadth and liberality, to
gether with a partisan bias carried to
extremes, not dreamed of by any of tho
better elements which called it into
power. With tho administration tho
Republican party takes direct issue,
and carries its appeal to a pooplo dis
appointed in every reasonable expecta
tion nud promiso. Tho Republican
members of the Logislaturo having
twico passed apportionment bills, more
liberal to their political opponents than
the existing law, and tho Democratio
members thereof having defeated tho
first measure, and a Democratio Gov
ernor having employed his veto power
against tho second, tho Republican
members havo properly discharged
their constitutional duty in tho promis
es ; their action is unequivocally en
dorsed, and tho responsibility for tho
failure of this legislation rests with tho
Democratio party.
Wo especially commend tho action
of tho Republican logislaturo for tho
high regard which it manifested to
wards our manufacturing, mining.farm
ing and general laboring interests and
its patriotic and successful efforts to
represent tho interests of tho grand
army of soldiers which Pennsylvania
contributed to the support of tho gen
eral government.
Tho yearning hearts of tho Republi
can paity of Pennsylvania go out with
sincere affection and sympathy with
tho old hero, General Grant, in this
hour of his sad aftlictiou. They revere
and lovo him fov tho services ho has
rendered his country, and honor him
for his noble, manly fortitudo while ho
faces his inevitable fate. Deatb mav
rob us of him, but ho will live forever
in the hearts of his countrymen.
Tho following resolution was added
to the platform :
To tho Republicans of Pennsylvania
this convention presents for tho Stato
Treasury a candidato who has won
celebrity for bravery in war and wis
dom in peace; a lifo-lonc. earnest, rad
ical Republican, yet withal so good and
generous in his viows and conduct,
that his every effort has been directed
to securing the unity and success of the
party. This lifo record cntUles him to
tho support ot a united partyin a Stato
which prides itself not only in being
tho Keystone in tho Union, but the
centre of that political thought which
best guards ami promotej American in
terests. WASHINGTON LETTEE.
(From our Ucgular Correspondent.)
Wasiiinotox. D. C, July 14, 18S5.
The President, Secretaries Manning, La
mar, and P. M. General Vilas, left the city
on Saturday afternoon to spend Sunday at
tho Club House of the Woodmout Hod and
Gun Club. Tho distinguished party spent
the Sabbath very qulutly In a wild sylvan
retreat of 3000 acres owned by tho club,
and returned much refreshed ou Monday.
Tho President has been working too
many hours. Uc has been slttiug up too
lato at night In order to dispose of tho
vast number of applications for olllcc that
await his attention. He Is not exhausted
but ho is very tired. Last week ho saw
visitors only ou thrco days, Monday, Wed
nesday and Friday, and experienced con
sldcrablo relief from tho pressure that had
been upon htm.
Tho appointment of Mr. Stevenson, of
Illluols, First Assistant Postmaster General,
Is ono of the most fortunate selections that
the present administration has made, lie
has attacked tho largo arrears ot business
with such energy that in tho short space of
a week over two thousand new appoint,
mcnts have been made. To dispatch such
a bulk of details with such general ap
proval, and absence of ground for cavil In
dicates executive ability of high order.
Tho posltlou of First Assistant Postmaster
General has become, owing to tho Immense
growth of tho service, one of tho most im
portant under tho Government, and it Is a
pleasure to know that it is not flllcd by a
Ilatton or a Tyncr, but in a way to rellcct
credit ou tho country and tho Democratic
party.
Postmaster General Vilas met Mr. Stc.
venson at tho Chicago convention. Each
was strongly impressed In tavor ot tho
other, and they have been warm friends
eversluce. Mr. Slovcuson leprescntcd his
district In tho Fourty-fottrth and Forty
sixth Congrcssess. Ho has slnco been
practlciug law in Uloomlngton, 111. Ho is
forty-clght years of age, vigorous and able.
Many public men havo been mado his
fileuds by his genial aud attractlvo dispo
sition as well as by his solid worth.
Tho Ex.First Assistant Postmaster Gen
oral, Mr. Malcom Hay, has gono to Colo
rado, in the hopo that his feeblo form may
bo strengthened by the climate. It is well
known that after ho was appointed four
months ago, ho wont South for tho bencllt
ot his health. When he returned here to
undertako his official duties tho disbursing
clerk handed him his salary for two
months. Mr, Hay declined to receivo tho
money saying ho had not earned It, und by
his dlrectlou tho amount of his salary for
these two months ot absenco from his dusk
was covered Into tho Treasury.
Secretary Whitney's idea of reform Is to
reform, lie docs not rest content with
ono good deed well done. He recently
brought from Now York an expert account
ant who has devised a now method of
book-keeping for the bureaux of tho Nayy
Department. Hereafter each Item of tho
naval appropriation will havo its separate
account and by this means tho balance re.
matnlug to each spcclllo appropriation can
bo seen at a glance Tho displaced system
is no system at all, but an unwleldly ac.
cumulation ot diifeieut methods to which
each change of rcglrno ba9 added Us quota
ot confusion,
Secretary Whitney is giving tho enemies
of good government a great deal of annoy.
auco. Ho refuses to accept, without ques.
Hon, the woithlcss ship contracts of his
Kcpublican predecessors. When ho wishes
to go to sea ou Iho raging Polomao ho hires
a boat and does not uso a Government
ship. Ito has abrogated tho rulo forbidding
officers to allow their wives to follow them
to distant ports. Ills reason for abrogating
this ruta was, In substance, that tho officers
wero not ablo to prevent llicir wives doing
pretty much ts they pleased.
It Is expected that Democratio officers
for tho District Government will very soon
bo appointed, but It is not probable that
tho now appointees will bo residents of tho
District of Columbia.
A gentleman recently ventured to glvo
tho President somo advice as to tho kind of
a man ho should appoint to a certain dis
trict offico. Mr. Clovcland said: "I think
I know what Is needed. My own expcrl-
enco will be a guide to me. As tho chief
executivo of n city government I gained
tho approval of men of both political part
ies, nnd I acquired a knowledge of what
qunllcallnns nro most needed In municipal
governments. I will glvo ovcry appoint
ment a careful consideration."
Liberty Enlightening the World-
This new Wonder of tho World, is
the largest statue in the world. Some
idea of ils magnitude may bo obtained
fi'om thu fact that forty persons found
standing-room within tho head. A
six-foot man standing ou tho level of
iho lips only just reached tho eyebrow.
While workmen wero employed on tho
crown of her head thoy seemed to be
making a Imgc sugar-caldron, and they
jumped with caso in an out tho tip of
tho no-.e. Fifteen people might sit
around tho llamo of tho torch, which
elevation can be reached by a spiral
Btaircaso within tho outstretched
ai .11.
The London Daily N"cws, in sp3ik
ing of it says : "It is out and away
tho largest statuo of modern limes. Tho
Coljossus of Rhodes was nothing lo it.
It could cairy tho 'Bravaria' or tho
'Hermann' in its arms. It towers to
tho skies from tho yard of tho Ruo do
Chazclles, where it has been eight
years in construction, and the viow
from its coronet sweeps clear of tho
six-story houses and beyond tho walls
of Paris.''
Thu weight of this stupendous statue
is 440,000 pounds, of which 170,000
pounds nro copper and tho remainder
wrought-iron. When placed in posi
tion it will loom 305 feet abovo tide
water, tho height of tho statuo being
151.2 feet, that of tho pedestal 91 feet,
and foundation G2.10 feet.
This imposing statue, higher than
thu enormous towers of tho great
Brooklyn Bridge ortho steeple of Trin
ity Church, which is tho loltiest in tho
city of New York, higher, in fact,
than any of tho Joolo-tsal statues ot an
tiquity, by its rare artistic propor
tions, as wilt as by its stupendous di
mensions, will add another to tho Won
deis of tho World. A word should bo
said of its artistic merit. Tho pose,
stiidc, and gesture, with its classic
face, aro pronounced perfect ; tho
drapery is both masivo and fine, and
in somo parts is as delicate and silky
iu effect as if wrought with a fine chis
el on tho smallest scale.
The conception and execution of this
great work are duo to the great French
sculptor, M. Bar'.holdi, who has devot
ed eight years of his life and tho most
of his tortuno to this great work, and
whoso generous impulses, which must
bo on a scale commensurato with this
noblo work, prompted him to mako
such a gift to the United States. The
committee in charge of tho construc
tion of tho base and pedestal for tho
reception of this great work are in want
of funds for its completion, and havo
prepared a miniature statuette, an ox
act counterpart of tho oiiginal, six
i iches in height, the figure being mado
of bronze, tho pedestal of nickel silver,
which thoy aro now delivering to sub
scribers throughout tho United States
for the small sum of $1 each. Aside
from its being a souvenir of this colos
sal statue, it will ornament our homes
and bear testimony that wo havo con
tributed to tho completion of ono of
grandest works of modern times. All
remittances should bo addressed to
Richard Butler, Secretary Ameiican
Committco of tho Statuo of Liberty,
No. 33 Mercer Street, Now York. Tho
committee aro also prepared to fur
nish a model, in same metals, twolvo
inches in height, at 85 each, deliver
ed. Wo feel assured our people will bo
only too eager to testify their grateful
sonso of tho friendliness of this magna
nimous offer on tho part of tho French
people, and to reciprocate tho kindly
and liberal sentiments in which it ori
ginated, by thus aiding in an active
prosecution of tho labors that may ba
required to givo tho statuo an appro
priate base and pedestal. Now is tho
timo to do it. W hoever wishes to havo
the honor and pleasure of contiibuting
to the crectiou ot tho grandest statue
of any age, to say nothing of tho son
timout that should bo welcomed ami
encouraged, must act promptly, for tho
money will bo raised as sure as the sun
rises. Every subscriber sending SI
to tho abovo address will bo
supplied witli a miniature counter
part of this groat and imp"iishablo
statuo of "Libei ty Enlightening tho
Woild."
