A terrible explosion of gas oconrcd in the Oonyngham shaft at Wilkes barro last Friday morning. Thirty, two men woro injured, several of them fatally. It was supposed nt first that tho explosion camo from tho oarelees ue8s of miner who went into an old passage with a naked lamp, but is said that an investigation may shof crimi nal negligenoo on tho part of tho com pany. New York juries do not consider it a cruno tor an alderman to taico a bribo of 20,000. McQnado one of the boodle .ldermen was tried recent ly, and tho jury disagreed, standing nino for acquittal and threo for con viction, although two of his associates In orimo went on tho witness stand and confessed that thirteen aldermen in eluding themselves and McQuade, got 820.000 auieoa for erantinc a Iran chise for a street railway on Broadway to Jacob Sharp. Thu samo witnesses had sworn differently beforo a Scnato committee, and tho jurymen who voted for acquittal put it on the ground tnai under tho circumstances the witnesses were unworthy of belief.

Centre County Justice- During tha campaign tho Watchman office at Bellefonte had its windows smashed by a mob because a poster concerning Beaver's store orders was exhibited therein. Among tho partici pants was W. V. JSmcry, a pArtnor ot Beaver's The offenders were arrested and last week plead guilty and were nned by tho court in sums rangiog from 25. to S75. Tho Watchman is lastly indignant at tho leniency of tho court, and vents Its feelings in this lancmaco "When some poor devil has been so unfortunate ns to get into a petty row, or has been driven by necessity to com mit a petty theft, Uentre county lustice gives her scales a grand flourish, hold ing them aloft with great dignity, and exercises her penal functions to the ut most extent of the law. But when la less rowdies, who have a political back in c, or money enough to give them in flaence, attack a citizen for exercising a right the law guarantees him, stono his property, break his windows, and endanger the lives of people in his ca tablishment, justice, as administered in tots county, becomes weak in the knees: grand juries dvrindlo away to a more rump to esoape the unpleasant duty of indicting high toned blackguards, and the judicial branch of the county s do partmont of justice iodines to a meas urement of the offense that will inolude it among the petty infractiona of the law, punishable with a fow dollars fine and costs.

The Cities of Pennsylvania. A DOUBT AS TO TIIE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF RECENT LEGISLATION. In view of the fact that the Supreme (Jourt has just declared unconstitutional some of the legislation passed in 1874 affecting third, fourth and fifth class cities of tho State, because it was "special" legislation and not applicable to all the cities, but only to such which ohoso to adopt it, and as a case has just been instituted at Reading to do clare void and unconstitutional some of the provisions of the act of 1874, J, A. Price, of Scranton, President of the Inter-municipal Convention of Cities, which recently Aiet at Reading, has issued a circular letter to all the cities interested, in which he again calls at tention to tho fact that another meet- tog of the convention is to be held i Ilarrisburg in January to draw up municipal code applicable) to all tho cities for presentation to tho Legisla ture tor passage, and adds a note warning as follows t 'Tho indirect effect of the decision is to cast a graye doubt upon the con stitutiouality of nearly all the legisla tion which has been passed for cities of the third, fourth and fifth olasses sinco tho Constitution of 1874. Tho terrible confusion which would result from tho wiping out of the legislation under which the municipal affairs nearly all our cities have been conduct ed for years can be imagined. A par alysis hardly ltss disastrous is likely to result from the knowledge that tho ex erases of nearly every municipal func tion is open to question and liable to resistance ou the most fundamental grounds." A Campaign Lie Nailed- THE NORFOLK NAVY YAM WAS NOT USE FOR I'ARTISAN l'UltPOSKB. Commodore Harmony has denied thu truth of the report that several hun drcd men had been given employment at tho Norfork Navy Yard, just prior to the last election, for political reasons nnd had been dismissed after the elect ions were over. Commodore Harmony was Acting Secretary of tho Navy nt llio time tho appointments were made, nnd enys that about seventy-five men were employed to perform work on tho frigate Trenton and the training ships which needed repairing. Tho appoint ments were made, however, in accoid ance with tho regulations which re quire them to bo made after advertis ing for tho men for four days. The oruer of Secretary Whitney, forbidding the employment ot men for political purposes, no says, would have prevent d the appointments as alleged. Theeo iinployes are still at work. Those who wire discharged were employed on miscellaneous work for tho now cruis ers and wcro dismissed because their work was completed. Thomas, son of Thomas Sanger.who was imlde boss of Messrs.

A shrewd Dnmocratio obsorvcr of ovonts at Washington said rccntly s "There is a chanco for tho Democrats to got control of tho Senate of the Fiftloth Congress by a coup (fetal which Is perfectly legitimate. Last winter tho Republicans in tho Senato were bo anxious to havo Dakota ad mitted as a Stato that they timdo over tures to' Senator Voorhccs, whose son Delegate from Washington Territory.

Tho Stato of Washington would send two Democratic Senators hero at once. Tho Senato bills admit ting both are now on tho House cal- dar. A Democratic llouao would only follow precedent in taking party advantago of the situation by passing tho Washington bill m tno coming short Bession nnd finding a pretext to leave the Dakota bill on tho calendar. ThoTerritory which Republican shrewd ness rcokOncd on as at, least, uetmuie ground has been carried for the Demo crats and Dolegate Voorhees by an in creased majority. Tho maoniuery nec essary for forming tho Stato Govern ment and electing thb United Slates Senators can bo put into operation very soon. By tSo time tho next Con gress meets two Democratio Senators from tho Slate of Washington can be in tho city of Washington ready to vote with their party. The Senate would then stand Democrats 30. lie- nublicans 39 that is if the wild Rid dlebergor and the unruly Van Wyok oan bo kept in the Republican hue, which is exceedingly doubtful. Harmony Between the Solents of Labor and Almagamatt-d Association. Pirrsnuno, November 30. Now that tho differences between theKnights of Labor and the Miners' Alrnalgated Association in the coke region have been settled the men are preparing to stand together if a strike is ordered Master Workman Bvrne.of tho Knights of Labor, and Secretary Mullen, of the Miners' Amalgamated Asoeiation,havi' issued a i lint call for a delegate meet ing ot both organizations to no ncia at scottdaio next oaiuruay morning. Master Workman Byrne, in talking of tho meeting to-day, said: "All tho troublo between the assooi ation and tho Knights of Labor has been adjusted and in the futuro wo shall work together. Tho meeting on Saturday is for tho purpose of forming a joint board to combine the action of the two organizations. This board, when organized, will move for .mother conference with the operators on the demands already made. I do not wish to express auy opinion as to what will be dono and can only say thai ine workers iu the coke legion will move together in any demands that may bn agreed upon after due consideration shall havo been given to the question and all efforts shall have been made to amicably arrange the matter.'' mass-workers say that the Ullier- ences between the window glass manu facturers in the East, North and West is not understood, although there is a probability they may lead to trouble. The Eastern and Northern districts havo a slight advantago over the Western in the matter of w3ges. the entire Eastern and Northern district working at 10 per cent, lees wages than the Western. The manufacturers in the latter district have chafed under this for a long time, and in the recent convention of the window-glass-work ers submitted a communication notify ing the workmen that next year a uni form scalo ot wages must be agreed upon. At preseut the eastern and Northern manufacturers aro holding aloof from the syndicate formed recent ly by the Westerners, and talk about forming one themselves in order to protect their market from glass made with natural gas. The trouble is one of annual recurrence and a contest for supremacy of tho market is a possible contingency. No Appeal From Assessment A number of appeals were entered from tho decision of the County Com missioners Bitting as a Board of revis ion of taxes, among them being a num ber of corporations owning coal lands in the lower end of the county, and Dr. Low of Lime Ridge. A large amount of testimony was takon as to value of tho lands, intending to show that the valuation was too high, nnd a settlement was made by the commiss ioners with the coal companies. Dr. Low's case however was argued and submitted to tho court, and no opin ion has yet been filed. In a similar case tried in Scranton, reported in tho Supremo Court Digest p. 158, a plea was entered by the defendant the city of Scranton, that the court bad no jurisdiction, on tho ground that the Act of May 24, 1878, under which the appeal was takon, was local legislation, and unconstitutional, lhis was over ruled and a decree entered for the plaintiff. The case was taken to the Supreme court, and on Ootober4th the judgment was reversed and appeal stricken olf. The decision ot thu court is that the Act of 1878 is of limited ap plication and unconstitutional. The net provides for appeals from tho de cision of county commissioners &o, only to tho owners of real estate in comities of less than five hundred thousand inhabitant", which excludes Philadelphia, and the exclusion of single county from tho operation of tho Act makes it local. This would seem todispnso of all the appeals remaining open. The law be ing unconstitutional is therefore- void and the court has no jurisdiction in the matter. Cooper not Eligible. It is reported that Gen. Beaver has decided to appoint Stinator Cooper Secretary of tho Commonwealth. If ho does so, it will bo a clear violation of tho constitution. Tho Constitution in Section C cf Art. II soys : "No Sonalor or Repre tentative shall durirn; tho time for which he shall have been elected, be appointed to any civil offlco undor this Commonwealth, senator Cooper was elected in the fall of 1881 to the Senato for Delaware county for the full term of four years beginning in January, 1885, and ending in D oemuur, 1889. According to tho letter of tho Consti tution, therefore, he is no'- eligible to a civil ofiico under the Commonwealth until after the expiration of tbnl term This view of the case is sustained by the opinions of two Attorneys-General, Dimmick and Cassidy. Senator Rutan and many otiicr able lawvers i filicide in this view, and it is likely that If Cooper is appointed tho matter will be legally tested by a quo wan an to. Tho County Commissioners. a NUJtimn op actj to hr presented at THE NEXT LEGISLATURE HY TUB MEMORIAL COMMITTEE. Tho memorial committee appointed by tho convention of county commis sioners lately held in Ilarrisburg, has finished its labor?. Tho committee approved -ho roso utlons which tho convention adorned for tho purposo of securing a uniform method of transacting business In nil the hoards of commissioners through out the state. It is probable that an act will bo supplemented for tho repeal of the law allowing to assessors pay for attending tho polls on eleotion day as assessors. An act will to presented regulating tho elootlon of assessors in this stato providing for nn ilection on February 3, 1888, and trionniallv thereafter, nnd to mako tho triennial assessment on tho final yeir of his term, Tho act also provides for tho election of two assistant assessors to sorvo for ono year. This will not ap ply to cities of tho first, second, third nnd fourth classes. A rccommonda tion to equalize chargo for milengo legally payablo from tho county funds whioh aro made by sherius, constables, jurors, witnesses, return judges of elections, viewers, county auditors, coroners, etc., was approved. It pro vided for an allowance of six cents per mile circular. Tho recommendation regarding an act "to regnlato assessments of proper ty and regulate the burden of taxation in this onmmnnwealth," was rcjeoted by tho adoption of a resolution whioh slates that it is deemed inexpedient at this time to suggest legislation provid mg for tho taxation of property not made taxable for local purposes, for the reason that it is proposed tn mako such changes in tho act of 1885 as will materially affect the local nnd general revenues.'" The plan proposed is to havo an not passod to pay one-half of all taxes collected on money at interest oarnages, hacks, omnibuses, excess fur niture and watches, into the treasury of tho respective counties in which they are collected tor the nso ot tho coun ties. The cnmmitteo approved a rocora mendation for tho repeal of the act for tho destrnotion of foxes, hawks, etc., and giving a reward for each ono kill ed .vhioh is being taken advantago of by some sharpers along some of tho border lines of tho stato. It also ap proved a section to another act cm powering tho collectors of state, onnnly, road, borough, special and school tax es to collect by distraint any of said taxes at any place within tho county in which tho collection district is situated A largo number of recommendations which seemed not so important as the above at this timo woro rejected and will probably bo taken up later. Tho following committee was appointed to draw up the above aoprovals in suit able shape for presentation to tho legis lature : Captain Cyrus Straw, Scranton Captain E. B. Watts, Carlisle : Senator L. II. Watres. Scranton ; G. B. Price, Ericand D. O. Hcnning, Schuylkill. Philadelphia & Beading Finances The Philadelphia Record of Decern ber 1st Bavs : The receivers of the Philadelphia and Rctiding Railroad Company held a lengthy meeting yesterday after noon, ot which two very important Bubiects were considered. The first of these was tho rental of the Schuylkill Navigation Company and the interest on the consolidated mortgage bonds. Both of theso are due to-day, and if honored would require. n cash outlay by the company of 1,250,000. Tho receivers decided that the monev was not in hand to meet the interest on tho consolidated mortgage bonds, and that they would adhere to their determina tion not to pay anything thnt had not been earned. There is still $500,000 due Drexel and Co. upon tho purchase of the coupons of this mortgage in June last. Tho rental of the Schuyl kill Navigation Company amounts to S600.000. Dor many years past this company has been earning about 150, UUU toward this rental : but tho aston ishing statement was made yesterday that during tho Usual year ending iNov 30 the canal has not earned 50,000 net profit. The statement was. made yesterday that all other leased lines of the company which have not earned their rental will be di-alt with in tho same way, and in cases where the rental is due, and has not been entire ly collected, the leased line will receive certificates ot indebtness, which will be negotiable, and will be duly honored when the rental has all men collected- "In addition to the Reading default upon the acbuylkill Navigation rental to-dby, the lormer owes tho latter be tween 800,000 and $900,000 back rentals, which, it is stated, is entirely unsecured, and there is no possible, way of collecting it. The officers of tho Schuylkill Navigation Company were not inclined yesterday to speak upon the subject of the default, but adhered to the belief that the company could be ruu to a better advantago if it were operated separately from tho Heading system. The general opinion is that he canal will bo taken from the Read tng, but this will occupy considerable time, as the equipments of the two companies have become so mixed that it will be difficult to iudentify tho prop erty of the canal company, which is by no means in the position to earn money that it was when rented to tho Keai ing Railroad Company. It is also claimed that the railroad company has invariably discriminated against tho canal company. "It was stated yesterday afternoon that the policy of defaulting in pay ment ot unearned ronta's will bo pur Bund by tho Reading receivers with the aueqiiHinnna uanai company, and lliat they will horoatier conhne themeelve to tho operation of their railroad. Ef forts were made yesterday to arrango for the funds being advanced to meet the interest on tho consolidated raort gage due to-day by persons friendly to the ftcading uo., nut tho receivers would not accedo to it, declaring their determination to pay nothing that had Oceans of Whiskey.

WtSniNOTOH. D. O.. Nov. 80, 1880. This is ono of tho busiest weeks of the year in Washington. Congress will bo hero in ono weok, and every body must bo ready for it, from tho resident to tho boarding-houso keeper. Tho President's message is receiving its Inst courso of condensation nnd revis ion. Cabinet officers nro performing similar work on their annual reports, and their Assistants of tho Dirst, Sec ond. Thltd and Fottith degrees, with several hundred Burenu Chiefs, Comp trollers, Auditors and officers, too num erous to mention, aro arranging their figures nnd plodding over long tables f statistics. Tho streets of the city aro again alivo with n busy, bustling throng nnd up nt tho long deserted Capitol, Chairman Randall, with a quorum of his oora mlttuc, has for a week been pressing work on Appropriation bills, tio re ports fino progress, and says Congress will not havo to wnit on him for monoy billB. During tho week ho has had in consultation, tho beads of different Bureaus and Government establish ments, with regard to the needs of their respective departments for tho next year. Among theso were Prof. Baird, of the National Museum, Smithsonian nud National Fish Commission) Super- htendent Thorne, of the Uoast Hur on Dr. Godding, of tho Government Inano Asylums Col. Wilson, of pnb- lie buildings and grounds nnd others. l lio improved condition oi ino uov- ernraent service under JJemooratio ad ministration has been mentioned re peatedly, but new instances of reform are continually making thomsclves felt, which deforves cspooial notico. Iho 'resident probably never made a hap pier stroko of publio policy than when ho called Mr. Bonedict here to bo Pub lic Printer. In thu period of three months tho notoriously demoralized Government Printing offico has been put in such order that about one-third more work is being done with tho same amount of money, and the pmHs room, which threo months ago had 400 forms waiting for tho press, is now clear, having '-caught up." It is too bad the President cannot bo left in pcaoo and quiet with his modest little country home, as soon as me real estate dealers of Washington know of his intention to buy this place thev secured as mnoh ground in the vicinity as possiblo and ever since they havo been using tho President's name in the most liberal manner in conneo tion with' all sorts of schemes they have organized for improvements at the publio expense. Of course, tho President has been m no wny con cerned in theso maneuvers, but rumors to that effect cannot but be nnnoying to him. Almost every day tho President or Col. Lamont is forced to say there is not a word of truth in some reports about the President. Tho Co.onols latest denial, which is very omphalic, is in record to an investigation, which, it is alleged, the President is conduct ing, by means of a pnvato deteci've, to find out if anv of the District Com missioners aie interested in real estate along tho line of the proposed exton sion ot lUassacnuseus avenue. uo . . .. ' nL. Secretary adds that tho President had his hands full of his own legitimate duties and did not care to interfere with outside matters. Some of the statements telegraphed from this city in connection with the police scandal, alleging demoralization and rottenness in Distriot affairs and universal dissatisfaction with the Com missionrrnhlp form of Government, are quito untrue. Tho ppopio or me uis trict feel that tho present Commission prs arn honest and reliable, and inai anv errors they may commit aro purely thoio cf judgment. The lax-paying peoplo especially, Know wnen mey are well off. and thev havo no desire to exolianco tho present Government rule and Government baokiug in Distriot exDenses for the boon of suffrage. Sneaking of tho folic acanoai, cer tain numbers of Congress havo ex pressed their opinion that uongress win not ask to havo the matter investigated. "Wo oan take no notico of it. officially," said Renresontative Sowden, "for r.o Congressman has been moivitinany as persed or injured, ana wnoever ae manded nn investigation would bo con sidered as putting himself on the de fensive and confessing his guilt.' But now since so mnnv police othcors have been punished and dismissed it is said they will appeal for redress to tho President, and in case ho deolines to give tho subiect attention, they will nsk Congre3s to help them. congress woum noi give any muru publicity to tho subiect, but would dive into it secretly through tho Appropria tions Committeo when tho question of appropriating money for tho District would come up. The Congressmen who were to havo been subiHoted to oolico esnionago would not then be publicly arrayed, and yet tho invesli gation could bo as thorough as neces Biiry.
