Seven cot sties of this State in creased their Democratic vote at the late election over the vote cast for Buekalewin 1372, as follows: Deilford increased 120, IJutler 451, Carhon 105, Jefferson 1, Juniata 32, McKean 26, Nortlmmbcrlaud 204. In all the re in lining counties Pershing had less rotes than liiickalcw. The heaviest decrease was. in Luzerne, 3,2!S. In Allegheny the vote for Pershing was 3,24;? lelow that given to IJuckalew; in Chester 1,505; in Lancaster 1,483, in Crawford 947 ; in Wayne 8i5 ; in Northampton 873: in CJreene 751. These eight counties had enough Dem ocratic voters at home on election day to have wiped out the majority for 1 1 art ran ft. The last issue of Forney's Snulaj Chronirle has a long article declaring that Grant is the ouly man in the country who can sttve the Republican party, and favoring him for a third term. It basis its hopes upon a state ment which it makes, and which de cidedly squints at the new and ground less issue which is to be forced by the Republicans on the com try. It says: "Governor Hayes, after the campaign was over in Ohio, stated in the Exec utive Mansion, in llarrisburg, Pa., while a guest of Governor llartranft, that tho educnti nal question had gi veil the Republicans the victory in the Buckeye State. It was Grant who made that question a Republican issue, in a speech delivered a few weeks pre vious to the Ohio election." It is not n very pleasant position for an cx-metnler of Congress to have an indictment hanging over his head, like tie sword of Damocles, charging him with fraudulently obtaining money from the government. And yet such is the unpleasant predicament in which General James S. Xegley, ex-member ot'Congress from the 22nd (Allegheny) district in this State, and the notorious Roderie Random IJutler, ex-membcr irom the 1st Tennessee district, now find themselves. True bills of indict ni ;nt h ive been found by the Grand Jury of Washington against both of j these members oi the radical party tor ( tlie offence above stated. JNegley is j chpregd with having fraudulently ob tained $2C,000 from the national tr;!is:iry o;i a claim of one Julius Witkowski. which he had in charge.

Butler's character during his whole Congress ional career has been so infamous, that everv presumption of law is in favorof bis guilt and not of his innocence, as is the rule in all criminal proceedings. He ought to have been in the Peniten tiary long ago, an l if he can only bo sent there now he will be the right man in the right place. --.- The moral sense of the country is again to le offended bv a thorough investigation of the needier-1 uton i 6candal, by a committee of the Asso-j ciation of Congregational Ministers of New Vork and Brooklyn.

But it seems that the members or the Congregational Association are not satisfied with the failure of the jury to agree upon a verdict in the trial of Beecher for adultery, and demand a re examination of the charge. The duties of the committee will be to de cide whether or not Beecher is a fit jierson tobe the pastor of a church and a mernler of the association.

Certain Democratic organs in this j State are not now miitc so full of ex- trnrair.int adiiLitum of Samuel. J. Uand,Il ami his superior claims to the l Speakership of the next Jloue 01 Representatives as thev were immecli- atefy after the adjonrnmentof Congress on the 4th, of .March. Judging from the hh. souml.ng praise that was then so lavishlv poured out upon him, one would have been led to believe that ! Pennsylvania- possessed the foremost parliamentarian In the whole country, and that Randall was the only Demo cratic member of Congress from Maine to Oregon capable of presiding over its liltorat ions. All tins ow - - - - . , , f torrent of i"ii:iii"cu, nun iiisimii - lmnevric which seemed to sweep him resistfesslv onward last spring towards the goal of his ambition, we only hear in o lest utterances in his behalf. The business was overdone even a J nauseam and Demociatic integrity and party consistency are now asserting their demands for recognition. "We will again repeat what we have more than once said before, that Randall's elec tion as Sicaker, in view of his record on the back-pay swindle, would be an act of self-stultification by the repre sentatives in Congress of the Demo cratic party. It would simply be a case of political fclo de se. Randall was one of the chief cooks and bottle washers in that Congressional infamy, advocating it, voting for it, and of course ocketing the plunder; and although he and those who acted with him may have flattered themselves into the belief that the people would regard it as only a nine days' wonder, they will find themselves laboring under a fatal delusion. We do not say that because a Democrat voted for and took the back-pay booty he ought therefore to be oiitically ostracised ; but we indignantly protest against conferring upon him one of the most responsible positions in the gift of the party. There may come a time when the odium inseparably connected with that measure will have teen forgotten, but that day has rot yet arrived. That Randall, as his backers have heretofore asserted, will le sustained in caucus by the united vote of the Democratic members fom this State, is a sheer invention. We know it to be unfounded. We are not aware what are the views or feelings of our mem ler, Hon. John Reilly. on thisjquestion, but we undertake to say that if he throws his influence in favor of the nomination of Samuel J. Randall he will totally misrepresent the Democ racy, not only of this county, but of the entire district. It would be a po litical blunder, which a great man has said is worse than a crime. I'hiladelphia Did It, It is not credible, says tho Philadelphia Sumlay Mercury, that the omission of Judge fetching to take the "stump" in the late canvass and plead hi own cause before, i lie c)!u, re.illy contributed to his defeat. Kven the suggestion is discreditable to the v.tcrs of Pennsylvania. Indeed, the re- turns show that the ieoplo ot the suite, out- side of this county, gave hini a very consid c i able majority. But Pliilailflliia defeated him, if by honest ballots ho is really de feated at all, and even his personal appeals hero in favor of pure government would not have averted the result had lie made them Did not Abraham tell Iizams, who was then in hell lor h.s unbelief that if h.s feui vivmg brethren "would not hear Moses and ,he -ophets, neither would they be per- suaded, though or.e rose from the dead." Not even the angel Gabriel, much less Judj;e Pershing, had he exhorted the po litical Pharisees here o repent and be converted to reform, could have beaten the Piigiims and their allies on last Tuesday. And just here it occurs to us to suggest, that pci haps the people of the interior will not much longer like being continually ovcriuled in state- elections by the corrupt votes of the political Sodom, that they may soon indignantly revolt against it, thatlhey may eventually Hud, or make, nil oppoilu nity to resent and effectually emancipate themselves from such an odious domination, and that, in tiie meantime, thoy will have a chance lo make the city feel their power pretty painfully in the state legislature. To a fair, square, honest election here, the voters of all tho rest of the common woalth, iiinnbeiing about live hundred and odd thousand against one hundred and odd, would, no doubt, patiently submit. But when the fraud, money, and political pat ronage of the city, stale and national ad ministrations, concentrated atthis point, a re constantly, systematically, and notoriously employed to swell the sulTYaee of this com munity and its power in the affairs of the state largely beyond their legitimate meas ure, it would be not only natural, but quite reasonable, that tho eople of the interior should rebel against such a wrong as an ac tual usurpation of their rights of self-government and a practical phicing of the ad ministration ol the attairsof more than five bo b. rcht into the warmest possible sym pathy with Philadelphia and her especial intere.!., and it has always been the plain est duty f thi" community to cultivate 8uch uious in .J1 practicable ways and by all proper means.

The Talk contains 3160 acres, 450 of which have been enclosed for tho Exhibition. Besides this tract, there will be large yards near by for the Exhi bition of stock, and a farm of 42 acres has already been suitably planted for the tests of ploughs, mowers, reapers,' and other agricultural machinery. The Exhibition buildings arc approached by eight lines of street cars, which con nect with all tho othr lints m the city,, and by the Pennsylvania and Heading railroads, over the tracks of which trains will also run from the North Pennsylvania and Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Balti more railroads. Thus the Exhibition is in immediate connection with the entire rail road system of the country, and any one within 00 miles of Philadelphia can visit it at no greater cost than that of carriage hire Rt the Paris or Vienna Exhibition. The articles to be exhibited have been classified in seven departments, which, for I he most part, w ill bo located in appropiiate buildings, whose several areas are as fol lows : ACRFS COVERED.

Hoiti'l litiiiuing, 1.5 Total, 48.40 This provides nearly ten more acres for exhibiting space than there were at Vienna, the largest International Exhibition yet held. Yet the applications of exhibitors have been so numerous as to exhaust the space, and many imiortaut classes of objects must be provided for in special buildings. An impoi taut special exhibition will be made by the United States Government, and is being prepared under the supervision of a Board of Olllcers representing the several Executive Departments of the Government. A fine building of 4 acres is provided for the purpose, space in which will be occupied by the W ar, Treasury, Navy, Interior, I'ost Oliice, aud Agricultu tal Depaitmeuts and the Sinilhsouiau In stitution. The Women's Centennial Executive Committee have raised $30,0tX) for ttie erection of a pavilion in which to exhibit every kind of women's work. To this collection, women of all nations are ex pected to contribute. 1 he list ol special buildings is constantly i increasing, and present indications are that their total number will be fron. 200 to 250. Most of the important foreign nations England, Germany, Austria, France, Swe- len, Egypt, Japan, and others arc putting up one or inoie structures each, for exhibit ing purioses, or for the use of the commis sioners, exhibitors and visitors. Offices and headquarters of this kind, usually of considerable architectural beauty, are pro vided by the Stnles of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hamp shire, Missouri, Kansas, Virginia, West v iigima, Nevada, Wisconsin, Iowa, and j It is a matter of history that the new con Delaware ; and it is likely that others will j stitution encountered the bitter, persistent follow the example. and unscrupulous opposition of the repub- A number or trade and Industrial As-I sociations, w hich require large amounts of space, will bo provided for in special build ings. Among these arc the photographers, the carriage builders, the glass makers, the cracker bakers, the bxt and shoe manu facturers, beside quite a number of indi vidual exhibitors. The great demands for space will probably render this course necessary to a considerable extent, especial ly for exhibitors who have been taidy in making Iheir applications. In the Main Exhibition Building, for example, 333,300 square feet of space had been applied for by the beginning of Octolcr by Americati exhibitors only ; whereas, the aggregate space which it has been possible to reserve for tho United States Department, is only 1G0,000 square feet, about one-third of which will bo consumed by passage ways. The Machinery Building, like the ot hers, is already fully covered by applications. There are about 1000 American exhibitors in this department, l.0 English, and 130 from other Euroiiean countries which is about 250 more thaneniered the Vienna Ma chinery Exhibition. Extra provision is being made for annexes to accommodate the hydraulic machinery, the steam ham mers, foigcs, hoisting engines, boilers, plumbers, carpenters, etc. Power in the Machinery Hall will be chiefly supplied by a pair of monster Corliss Engines. Each cylinder is 40 inches in diameter, with a stroke of ten feet ; the fly-wheel is 31 feet in diameter, and weighs 55 tons ; the horse-power is 1400 ; and the number of boilers is 20. This engiue drives about a mile of shifting. For the Art Exhibition, the most eminent American artists are understood to be at work, and it may be confidently stated that, especially in the department of laud scape painting, the United States will pre sent a liner display than the public bas been led to expect. Quite aside from the contributions of American artists, applica tions from abroad call for more, than tour times the exhibiting space afforded by the great : Memorial Hall. Provision for the buipl'is will be made in temporary fire proof buildings, though all . exhibiting nations will be represented iu the central Art Gallery. ' ,; - ' The Secretary of the Navy bas arranged that a United btates war vessel call next Spring, at convenient European ports,, to collect and transport hither to the Exhibi tion the works of American artists resident in Europe. Among the ports thus far designated, are Southampton forJBnglaud Havre for France, Bremen for Germany, and Leghorn for Italy, to which, if desir able, others may be added. Mr. Bell, the eminent English sculptor, who designed the groups for the plinth for the great Albeit Memorial in Hyde Park, London, is reproducing in terra cotta, at the celebrated works in Lambeth, the one which symbolizes America. The figures in this group'are colossal, covering aground space of 15 feet square. It will probably le placed in the great central gallery, op posite the principal entrauce. The Art Exhibitou will include, in ad dition to the works of contemporary artists representative productions of the pat century of American art those, tor in-, stance, of Stuart, Copley, Truwbull, West, Alston, Sllyf Nea8le, Elliot, Kensctt, Cole. These, us well as the work oftercd by living ai lists, will be passed npou by j the Committee of Selection, who wi.l visit for the purpose, New York, Boston, Chi- ; cago, and other leading cities, in order to , The School Question. ' Now that the election is over and the returns counted, the Scrdhton Iiepubltcan thinks the "school Question" can be houest- "lie press and a very large proportion of "the priesthood are the open Hnd avowed "enemies of the fieeschool system." "What "they want are schools under the control of "the appointed clergy of their church, and "they want such schools supported on of "the taxes levied for school purposes." The IltpxiliUc.an then proceeds to reiterate the stupid charge that the democratic paity is in alliance with the .Catholic church for the overthrow of the common school system. At the peril of being set down among the "fools" by this republican newspaper, we emphatically deny that any consideiable proportion of the Catholic clergy of this country demand, a division of the school fund in this or any other state. Now and tlten an irresponsible writer, an indiscreet priest, ob over-zealoua acolyte, gives ex pression to sentiments on the subject of the schools whtv-h ate carefully treasured and related by Know Nothing organs with the view of giving a sectaiian tuui to po litical cont roversy. But tlie great body of the Catholic church cau be made respon sible for these utterances with no more ' justice thau the republican party caii.be held to account for the sectarian bigotry aud rancor of the Scran ton lie publican or the llarrisburg Telegraph. Even if the prelacy of tho Catholic church cherish the hosttlily to the school system with which they are charged, they are far too atute to piovoke in any state of the Union a couHict over a division of the school fund. The history of the common schools of Pennsylvania affords the most effetiv answer to the noisy clamor that has been raised on this subject. Since the establish ment of the tiystem it has, for the most of the time, been under the fostering care of the democratic piirly, which is ow stupid ly charged with being in alliance wiih the Catholic church for its overthrow. Din ing all this time has any attempt been made in Pennsylvania to separate the school hind ? Is there the slightest evidence of the ex istence of that conspiracy which disturbs the dreams of ignorant bigots? The new constitution, raiilied by the people in 1(473, contains the provision that "no money "raised for the support of the public schools "of the commonwealth shall be appropria ted to or used for the supjKiit of any "sectarian schools." In the constitutional convention there were sornti zealous laymen of the Catholic church, yet they mads neither opcu nor covert opposition to a provision which put it forever ous of the power of the legislature to make any diver sion of the public taxes for sectarian schools. If the Catholics are so much con cerned about a separation of the school fund why diil they not make a stand on this occasion? When the constitution was f before the people for ratification it received the hearty support of the ureat body of tho Catholic citizens, i ho Leljied to swell the triumphaiiL majority of one hundred and fifty thousand in its favor. JIow conies it that they did not rally under the lead of tneir premies in resistance to a provision which placed the schxl fund beyond the reach of a teuiMirary majority in tho legis lature and put an effectual bar against any future attempt to raise a controversy over this subject ? Here was an opportunity that should not have been neglected, were the Catholics Iossessed of that deep hostility to the school system with which they are charged T. ; . . i : a - lican leaders on account of its thorough and unsparing reforms. .Nothing would have been easier than for the Catholics to have formed an alliance wi'li these repub lican managers for the defeat of the new constitution. The alliance would have been most heartily welcomed in tho utter desperation of these enemies of const it u tual reform. The Catholics could have brought to the common stock the enmity to the common schools with which they are charged, and the republican ring their hostility to the. legislative aud other reforms ol the constitution which they did not af fect to conceal. But instead of entering into an alliance with the republican ring leaders nine-tenths of the Catholics of the state voted for a constitution which placed the school fund forever beyond sectarian interference. Had the Catholic citizens of Pennsylvania directed half the energy against the new constitution which was shown by its organized republican enemies its ratification would have been seriously endangered.' If it be true that this pro vision of the constitution was obnoxious to them, as is charged by their enemies, they proved by supporting it that they pre ferred life political welfare of the common wealth to their supposed sectarian interests. They could not bo tempted into this alliance with the republican ring for its rejection. - Yet in the face of this, the miserable partisan cry is raised. that the common school system is in danger from the Catho lics, in order to awaken sectarian jealousies and hates. Any pretext, however, will serve in this religious crusade. In Mary laud the nomination by the democrats of a Catholic descendant of Charles Carroll of Carrol lion, brought out of their political graves the Know Not hings and Ping Uglies of twenty years ago, who rushed to the ballot-box waving the banner of "No Popery." Iu Ohio the Ghegan act, which conferred on convicts in penitentiaries and jails the poor privilege of choosing their own ghostly comforters, formed the ground for another sectarian warfare: In New York and Pennsylvania, whose common school funds are placed under the protec tion of the state constitutions, the cry is raised that the schools are in danger of overthrow. This foolish and wicked clamor no doubt cost the democratic party several thousand votes in each of these states. But it finds a welcome only in the breasts of the ignorant and bigoted, who are al ways the easy prey of unscrupulous dema gogues. It has alwaysbeeu the fate of pnre democracy, in all ages, to encounter the assaults of fanaticism, bigotry aud super stition llarrisburg Patriot.

A sturdy chap with impatient grimace is hoisting a bogs bead to the top of the tower by means of a rope atid pulley arrangement, while close by an anxious daddy is spanking a venture some youngster for .standing in danger from the falling weight. Now and then a door in the upier story slow ly opens, and a cautious old granny peers out, looks down suspiciously at things lelow, and, seeming ly displeased, quickly slams the door and disappears. Her jolly-featured "old man" goes through a similar performance on the other side of the house, leaning far out over the window-sill, hugely enjoying the contortions of the wood-cutlers below, and then springing back to ask the old lady how things go On her fide of the bouse. No mean amount of skill was required to make these comical clowns' movements so life-like aud regular. A large wind- heel is continually revolving, and the weather vane at the summit veers around and twitches with natuial irregularity. The inventor is not a Yaukee. Phila. Times. It is "given out" by a Washington cor respondent of the Chicago Timet that Senator Morton is in Washington bard at work manufacturing anti-Popery thunder for the President's forthcoming annual mes sage. The wily Senator thiuks he sees a veritable bonanza for the Republican party in this newly-hatched bugaboo, and is Rconringtthe Congressional Library to ob tain old Vatican deciees and other theologi cal lumber of like irrelevancy to American political affairs. . "Xo one need be sur prised." the correspondent says, "at the President's displaying an unusual amount of emotion on the subject of the Catholic Church," since Morton is cramming on the subject and will duly prime him, so that the message shall &eak "with no uncer tain sound." For the rest it is stated that the message, while making no allusion to the possibility of war, will urge the recog nition of. the bclligercut . rights of the Cubans, and have much to say about the virtues of hard money. Those are probably only shrewd guesses of a man on the ground, except as to the Indiana Senator and bis pious researches in quest of a new and available issue upon which to conduct the next Presidential canvas9. There is no doubt that Morton' distrusts the further efficacy of the "bloody shirt,' and is pre- raring for a vigorous assault upon the 'ope's too. PJiila. Timet. pRicnFtL Fate of a Child.
