James II. (Juooms, Demoerat, was elect

lr. Oroome a few years ago was eltcted
lvernir to svrve cut the uuexpireu term
rf Wbyte, who bad been elected to the
6raie, of which lie ie dill a member.
It was said by a very wise man that "the
wrld is governed too much," and the Leg-i-latuieof
this State is furnishing conclu
sive evidence of the truth of the remark,
hi nee it met on the first day of the month
it has not had more than ten working days
vp to last Friday, yet the astounding num
ber of 099 bills were introduced into the
linage, and 233 of them reported fiom com
mittees, during that time enough to keep
it busily at work for two months to come.
The principal objtel of a session of the
legislature now seems to be to repesl or
amend the acts par-sed by its predecessor.
A if embbk of the Legislature, Ebeihart
by name, hailing from the "State of Hea
ver," wants the time for holding the gen
eral election restored back to the second
Tuesday of October. Thfs can be done
under a provisiou of the new consitution,
by a tiro-thirds vote of the Legislators in
favor of a bill for the purpose ; but the peo
ple are not asking for it and don't desire a
return to first principles on that sooie.
Ohio still holds ber election for State ofH
eers in October, but will no doubt soon
adopt the day wbieb now prevails iu ueaily
all the northern ar.d western Btates, aud in
many southern Btates. The member from
Beaver bad better abandon his little bill
and torn hte a '.lection to something that
3S merit In it.
TwR2 is a conflict of views between the
Bupeiiuleodent of Public Instruction ar.d
the Committee on Education in the House
on the subject of o.wpulsory education in
the common schools of our State. In Lie
last report, Mr. Wiekeisham states bis ob
jections to 'be piojecr, as he bad done la
former reports, and yet the House Com
roit'ee on Education has reported a bill to
enforee it. We hare no doubt that the
Superintendent repiesents nine-tenths of
the people of tho State in the position he
lias takeu on this question, and that the
Legislature will be In accoid with him if
the bill which has been repotted ever
reaches a rote. To establish compulaoty
education in opposition to the views and
wishes of the Superintendent of Common
Schools would bo about as effective a how
as the LrgislatutB could possibly iafiict
upvu the system.
The new constitution made it the duty
of the Legtilatuie at the fir t session itftet
ift adoption to fix the compensation of the
Judges of the Supreme Court, and also of
the Juices of the several judtoial districts
of the State. Although it would not seem
to be a very difficult matter to adjust, and
although it baa been attempted at each of
the four session which has been held since
tha constitution went into effect, the leg is.
lative wisdom of the commonwealth baa
not thus far been equal to the task and the
old salaries remain unchanged. An effort
will be made during the present session, aud
it Is to be hoped successfully, to ariivs at a
settlement cf the ved ques Ion. The
prlneipal dicnlty hetetofore has been that
the members from Philadelphia and Alle
gheny counties demand higher salaries for
their Judges than the members from the
test of the State have been willing to cou
esde. Thp. Democratic members of the Legisla
ture of Kentucky, after a piotracted strug
gle in caucus, last week, nominated and
elected Geneial John S. Williams as the
successor of Thomas C. McCreery iu the
United States Senate, The new Senator Is
familiarly kuowu as "Cerro Gordo Wil
'Jams," for something which he did, but of
which we know nothing, at tho battle of
that name during the Mexican war. He is
a man of very considerable ability, but is
charged with holding very loose and ob
jectionable views on the binding obligation
of a State to pay its public debt. It may
be that the charge is false, but if it is not.
the Democracy of the gallant State of If en
tuckyhavo committed a grievous error, and
It would bave beeu far beUer for General
TTilliams if he had died a soldier's death
on the heights of Ceno Gordo, than ta
oeetjpy a seat in the Senate as the advo
cate of State or national dishonor.
The two Turkish peace commissioners
arrived at Keranhk ou Friday last aud
were received by the Kossiau Giand DnV
XicBolas. Nothing definite seems to be
Vnownnf the ternu demanded by B ivia,

Thb Philadelphia Democrats last week
elected eight Senatorial and twenty-tight I
Representative delegates to the State con- '
vention. It is said that some of them favor j
the nomination of Gen. McCandless, the
pieient Seeietary of Internal Affaiis, for i
Governor; that others are for Andrew H. !
Dill, State Senator from Uuion county, and j
that a few prefer James II. Hopkins, of j
Pittsburgh. As the next State convention !
will be a most important one, it was ex. J
pee ed that the Democracy of Philadelphia ,
would be represented in it by their ablest
and most ti listed leaders. A careful study :
of the list of delegates, however, discloses j
the name of only ont who is favorably !
known to the Democracy of the Stale. Wo ,
meau Vm. V. McGrath, foimctly State j
Treasurer, atd a gentleman of character '
ami influence in tho ptiity. The balance of ,
thehirty six are ol scuic'aiid unknown, nt ;
least outside of their own districts, with the !
exception of the inevitable Bill McMulIen, ,
ho has ft reputation throughout the Slate
by no means. enviable. We miss the fa-'
miliar name of Sam Josephs in the list, but
he will no doubt turn up in the convention
as a substitute. From the fact that the
seats of one half t the Senatorial and of 12
of the 29 Ilep;esenalive delegates are con-
tested, we infer that the management of
Democratic affairs in that city has fallen
into the worst possible hands, and that the
influence of the delegation on t!ie State
convention will noi be as poweiful as its
nurubeis Toold lead one to expect.
THE discussion in the Senate of Mat
thews' silver resolution had not been
brought to a close up to Wednesday even
ing. When the vote is takeu upon it.
Bland's silver bill, which is a matter of
much greater impoitance, v. ill betaken up,
but as the consideration of the Matthews
resolution was virtually a dibcustdun of the
B'and bill, it is not probable that the latter
will occupy mnch time. The bill, as we
have before stated, auihorizts the coinage
of silver dollars of 412J grains, and make
them a legal tender to any amount for all
debts, public and private, which of courso
includes the bonds of the governmeut. If
it pauses the Senate in its present shape,
as it did the House, b will be vetoed, and
to avoid that it is believed the bill will be
changed in some of its most important
featuies.

of either the Senate or House to present
any j.etitioii or meuioiial, or fiom deliver

few days ago. It is a privilege that has
never been accorded any one, and we are
glad that Senators and Members wero
found to handle these old hags without

THB NEWLY ELECTED SENATOR,
Mr. Voorhees, who fills the place of the
la'.e O. P. Morton, tieated ns to his maiden
speech as U. S. Senator during the past
week. The Senate chamber was liteially
packed with a mass of intelligent persons,
the floor of the Senate being well filled
with visiting members from the House.
He advocated the passage of the silver bill,
and his address was fully up to his reputa
tion, both in logic and ihetoiic, at the con
clusion of which he was warmly congratu
lated by i large majority of those present,
a boqnet at the same moment being placed
upou his desk, business being for a short
time totally suspended. Among t lie first
to grasp him by the hand was Mr. Bland,
author of the silver bill, while.the few op
jxments of the bill, repteeeuting the money
ed aristocracy, occupied the position of
"wall Mowers." Prominent among the
many good points made by Senator Voor
bees was that "the moneyed aristocracv
bad for the last seventeen years triumphed
in the liiif.ncial legislation of the United
States, and the time bad now come when
I heir victories over the poor and labeling
Classes must lie reversed, or sooner or later j
the people will no longer be free." Mr. I
Yooibeis, duiing hid masterly effort, quo- j
ted from his late predecessor, O. P. Morton, '
who held the same views as is embodied in
the present Bland silver bill, us follows:
"J'l ata combination of stock j ibbers, as
destitute of conscience aspirates, and in
spired alone by greed lor money, successful,
ly thundered at these doois and finally
diove this government into the most slu
penduous act of bad. faith vi:h the people
and legalized robbeiyever practiced upon
any people since the dawn of history "

Matthews' silver resolution, upon motion
to relet the same to the committee on judicial-,
the motion having been lost by a
vote of 81 against 7, still remains before
the Senate for its action thereon. The
Sena e was not full at the time, as it was
not expelled a vote would o taken, but
this vo e showed a maj mty sulBoient to

IN The HOUSE
most of tho week was consumed by the in
troduction and reference of a number of
bills, both piivateaud public, the following
important measures succeeding tho above
regular business at inieiim di.it e iuteivals;
A resolution to hold a special .session and

radical side of the House he had a conrirma

A ITuifA Monstrosity. A number of
: our citizens wib remember !he conti igra-
l tioo :n the ncvgitlx.i hood of Vine aud Lib-
j eity streets, the old coi potation line, trsn.
! ty-seven yeara ago. One of the houses
burned was occupied by Mr. Joseph Folz
. and w ifw, wboaie now managing a dairy 011
j Western avenue.
The fire bxike out late at night and caus
ed considerable alarm. Mrs. Folz at Ihe
time was at the point of confinement, and
the fear and excitement had the effect of
her giving birth lo a boy, who was terribly
deformed, having no toes or fingers. The
child, moreover, was devoid of the senses
( of hearing and speaking.
The parents of the monstrosity did eve
rything in their power for the lelief of the
I child, but it never could learn to speak or
ma se use t us other organs. The little
boy grew up to
day. A stiecial
for his almde, an
the family are al!
poor fellow is hat
