Some of our Democratic exchanges, and amongst them ito nur mqiri'i:) the Huntingdon Moni'-jr, berate severely those members of Congress who, after voting iftt':t the bill to in cirase salaries, nevert heler-s drew their money after the bill became a law.

Supposing a member wcie to decline to lift, his money what then? "Why, it would simply remain ly ing in the Treasury until doomsday ; be cause, having been appropriated to a cer tain purpose by Congress, the Treasurer could not use it for any other. Thus it would not even help to reduce the public debt. Hut, it may be suggested, a C'on messman might lift the money, convert it into I'.

Ah, but the moment he lifts the moncv, he is already truiUv of all that is beiin' It is supposed that St. Loin will or." day rival Pittsburgh as an iron centre. While Pittsburgh is admitted to hae the best coal facilities for man ufacturing iron, she lacks iron ore within easy access. St. Louis is ac credited with having the best iron ore within easy access, but lacks Pitts- j burgh's superior coal facilities. She j will, however, it is thought, yet rival j the "Smoky City" as an iron centre, i for the reason of her ore facilities and a long career of joy and happiness in this life. Miss Merritt was a little older than either of the two other ladies, but was also a genial and kind-hearted l.-.dy. Of all those who have been lost in tlie Atlantic no one's sloi-y is probably so sad a one as this. It w as the fast trip any of them had made to Europe. A brother of Mrs. Mer ritt (Mr. fc-crimser") started for Halifax as soon as the news of the shipwreck had ar rived. . , u Tuesday evening a young gent leman of propossessmg appearance and evidently laboring under strong emotion was anxi-ou-ly asking new s of tiie fate of the Atlan tic at the clerk s ol!;co. ol the r mu .v venue Hotel.

This tim' it was the erection of a new cor .ity out of .arts of Pradford, Tioga, Sullivan and Lycoming counties, to be called Minno'pia. The members of the House from these lour counties were unanimously opposed to the pro ject, but that had noterrors for a man of Pete llerdic's c-ifrcntery and well known resources, lie knew well the , - , -oi iii.li I charged ; and making a ft to thu ov- kind ot men v.uli whom he had to deal crilll-llt hll, would have only the merit ami was fully prepared for the enier- of a gift nothing mo.e. Once he obtains gency. He corrupted and debauched that she is several hundred miles nearer the iron consumers of the west. Should St. Louis without coal, with her ore facilities and on account of beiny; nearer the western market, ever rival Pittsburgh as an iron city, then will some city now in embryo rival St. Louis as an iron city, on account of having easy access to both iron ore am! coal. In Not tlr.vcstcrn Texas there will in time be founded a city in im mediate contiguity to both of these re juisite materials, of superior ejuali tir's and inexhaustible quantities. Jn Young and Puehanan counties alone there is coal enough to supply the de mands of the Southwest for centuries. The coal in Texas occupies an area of upwards of six thousand square miles. In addition to these vast coal deposits, she hai vast accumulations of iron ore, consisting of several species of hema tite and limonite, with extensive beds of carbon of iron. She has easy of access, and in close proximity to both, vast accumulations of iron ore and coal, which will some day be converted into fertile sources of wealth. 1 f Pitts burgh mut yield to St. Louis hor present proud position as the ' iron city" of the United States, so must St. Louis in time yield the palm to some at present unknown city in Northwest ern Texas. the members of the House so thorough ly that his bill passed thai body by a re .spectr.hlo jaaj-.-rily.

He hiid lcajicd upon the back of one of the men in 1 1 o Iiope of saving himself; hut in that fearful crisis, when everybody was intent upon sariny themselves, few paid attention to tho wails of the bry, and the man upon whose back he was clinging ;is if for bare life, made several ineilectiial attempts to shake the boy off. The cries of the boy attracted the captain, who, see ing the tenacious manner in which he was struggling for life, called out to the men who were surrounihiii: the lines that led to the rock and safety, to endeavor, if possi ble, to save the boy, and the poor little fellow was immediately passed over tho heads of the struggling mass of beings and placed the boat. Men who were exert ing themselves to save their own and other lives wept almost for joy as they saw the brave little lad safely landed on shore. Mr. Foxley, the chief engineer, says it was extremely harrowing to behold the suiferings of the unfortunate creatures, even after they were lesened. Many of them became insane, frothed at the mouth and t ippled oil" the ruck into the water and were drowned, while others w ere so chilled and exhausted with the cold that they laid down and died. Some died after they had been taken to the main land. 1 wo taily caum passengers came on deck in the excitement. They hesitated a mo ment as if panic stricken, and returned into the companion way. Then they came out and endeavored to reach the forward part of the ship, w here the passengers were sent ashore on the lines. At that moment a huge wave swept over the chip's quarter. The men clinging to the rigging heard two heart rending shrieks, and when they looked again the women had disappeared. These are only a few of the terrible inci dents of the terrible wreck. Young men as well as old became para lyzcd, and as they clung to the rigging and the sides of the vessel they seemed bereft of all reason. "When spoken to by the cithers to make some effort to reach the boat and save themselves they would roll their eyes in their heads, stare vacantly at the speakers, and ask them in a whining tone, "What boat?" Many again who were roused cut of their berths had scarce time to puttheir clothes on and reached the deck co perish with the cold. One cabin passenger, a young man, came up with only a vest on. lie clung to the ship's side as long as he was able and final ly rolled off into the sea frozen to death. A pretty girl sobbed bitterly as she asked about her sister, llachel Mcllwaine, of biymouth, I'ngland. Another caller was Mrs. Mary McPermott, matron of the r ;fih Avenue Hotel, who said she had a husband and two children on board the ill fated steamer. The brother of Patrick Coughlin, of "Weslmeath, Ireland, leaned his head on the counter and cried. He would not be comforted. Most of them had paid from their little savings for the passage hither of some loved relative whom for years they hadlonged to see. From the granite walls of the battery they had scanned the broad waters of the bay for a sight of tho noble ship. Yester day's news was too much for them, ami the scene of sorrow in the White Star office wo,.-; such as is seldom witnessed. Among the callers was a young man in mechanic's attire, but of notably nitelli- cle of the workers going to and from their work at the mills and forges by hundreds suggested to some of the cooler Leads that feet. I.anglev was instantly killed, being horribly crushed. The Countess Gaiccioli, one of Lord Byron's loves unlawful, died the other day amid the scenes of her eaily life. She was a remarkable woman, retaining her vivacity and Identity to the last. She was seventy-two when she died, and notwith standing her free life, she never lost her place iu society ; which is not saying much fjr society.

A dep utation waited upon the employers and assured them that they had come with serious and honest intentions to elfect a settlement. The employers received them respectfully and assured them of their .sympathy and encouragement. Many of tho workmen addressed their friends after the settlement had been effected, and im proved the occasion by administering ad vice as to their future conduct expressing a hope that the strike a lesson which would never have to be re- ' peated, but would lead to a better under- ' taken out dead. escaped with their lives, but suffered se- standing hereafter between employers and , J , . .. , , , , tain Williams, showing that the loss of life by the late terrible disaster, though workmen, and to the growth of sentiment of good-will and confidence on both sides.

It is an old story but vividly fresh in the minds of the whole family. One night, in this city, the mother of tiie three girls hav ing been kept up by some household du ties, had gone to bed about midnight, when, besides herself, the whole house was hushed. Scarce Lad sLe taken off Ler clothes and got into bed, when she had occasion to violently wake up Ler sleeping husband with this: "Do you know that my mother is in America? She has just been in here, but would not speak to me, and this moment she has gone into the room with the children? Go in and bring her out. How she has found us out at this late hour of the night I do not know." The aroused husband went into the next room, turned up the gas, and saw only three beautiful little girls, smilinrr, and sleeping in one wide bed. He noted date and hour. It is tame to tell the se quence. The next steamer mail from I Iam burg brought news that the grandmother of tho children, in that very niuht and ' hour, had gone to the Beyond. Did she stop in this city to bless the children on the way? Who shall tell?

Chief Justice Tbompson, of tins State, in a re cent case, gave the following decision in reference to gambling : "Anything whicli induces men to risk tlicir money and pro perty without any Lope of return, but to get for notliing any given amount from anotlier, is gambling, and demoralizing to Hie community, no matter by wbat name it may by called.

Pope Pius IX, who is reported sick, is now in his 81st year, so that there cannot be much hope entertained of Iiis recovery if his illness be as serious as was indicated in Tuesday's cable dispatches. His full name is Giovanni Maria Mastai Ferreiti. He was born at Sinagalia, Italy, in 179:?. Iu 1S0S he visited Chili, South America, and engaged ' in clerical labors there for two years. He was created Archbishop of Spoleto in 1S27 ; in lf40 pojc so that the term of Lis pontilicate up to the pre sent date is 27 years. It is not by any means complimentary to the manly character tliat no women were rescued from the "Atlantic." Such disasters result in a "struggle for exist ence" without regard to moi-als or breed ing. The men of the "Atlantic" are not to be blamed for seeking to save their lives, but the persons who sent the vessel to sea unprovided with raft for such emer gencies, and thus sent six; hundred per sons to tlieir deaths, merit condemnation on this account as well as on account of tho delinquencies which have heietofore been pointed out.
