Tub Johnstown Tribune of Monday
last, in referring to tbe rumor that Simon
Cameron would succeed Mr. Wallace in
the V. S. Seiiate in 1S31, provided the Re
publicans cariied the Legislature in No
vember, 1VJ, stated that it would be a
atrscge sight to see fit her and son (Simon
and Don) on the floor of the iseuateat the
ami) time, nod that tuch a thing has
never yet happened. The Tribune is mis
taken. M.iny j ears ago the venerable
Henry Dodgo was a Senator fiom Wiscon
sin, and at the same time Lis son, Augustus
C. Dodge, was no of the Senalois from
Iowa. '1 he elder Dodge is dead, but tbe
on si ill resides in Iowa, and takes an ac
tive part in the Democratic politics of that
Elite. lie delivered a Democratic speech
la tbe C'outt House in this place during
Lis term as Senator, and was appointed
MiDlter to Spain ly President Buchanan.
When the bill fixing the salaries of the
Judges was before tba Senate last week,
Mr. Bj'.tt-i fieid. of Eiie, iu asking for an
Increase of ti e sa'ary rf the T'resident
Judge of that county, said that while there
was a Judge in Philadelphia for each 45,
000 of population, aud in Allegheny for
each 37,42?, tbe occupant of the bench in
Eiie cojiiiy rc j resented CO. 000 people.
lie fiiither ti'.ed tb.it, the average of pop
ulation f.. a J i''t' t'upiugliont the State
wa 4" '.!, and that Judge Res, of the j
Aloofgomeiy conniy district, which bas a
population of S1.C12, had the largest dis
trict in tbe Stale, while Chester, with 77,
603, was the next to it. Mr. Bntterfield
didn't seem to ku-w that there is a judicial
district in the Stare composed of the coun
ties of Cambria, with a jopuLation in 1S7Q
of 26 5C9 ; Blair, with 33,0."1, and Hunt
ingdon, with 31,251 in all 105.S71, being
S4.2."9 greater than that of Montgomery,
and S9,S!'? greater than Erie. Judge
Dean, of thi.s district, thereforo represents
a much larger population than any other
Judge in the State, tut, unlike tbo Phila
delphia and Allegheny Judges, as well aa a
few of the Judges In the rural districts, he
la nt eternally whiuing about the salary
be receives, aud aprcaimg to the Legisla
ture t inciease it.
While trie members of the House
HartUbitrg, a; an estimated expense of one
hundred ir,d Uty tl:out nd dollars to the
conimoimea'.th, have voted to furnish the
National (J uard with a military outfit sim
ilar in all respects to that in use by the reg
ular army, the Senate wi;h equal gensrosity
Lai passed a bill to third reading, which
provides for encampments, inspections,
transportation, subsistence, additional offi
cers, surgical instruments and medical out
fi:a, a brass band of not less than twenty
nor m-ie than thirty musicians for each
brigade, together with rent for armories,
books for the officers, rent for officers'
quartet s, ammunition, and other things
"too numerous to mention," as vendue bills
tave it, all at the expense of theS:ate, and
which will amount in the aggregate to a
uru at which any man may exercise his
iugunuity in guessing. The bill, Iu fact,
ia so s' i'.fu'i'iy diawn tint we defy arty one
to ascertain, or even to estimate, what tbe
coat will be ; tvl what is still more iniqui
tous is, that th State Treasurer is reqnired
to pay all tho expenses without even an
examination of the accoun s by the Auditor
General. Tbe present AJjutaut General is
at well known for his love of military dis
play as for bis utter inefficiency, and to
bim under this bill full authority is given
to draw all warrants fjr the payment of
cxpensc-s on the State Treasurer. With a
willing Legislature, no man cau tell what
the limit will be to this large demand on
the public treasury for military trappings
and warlike displays. j
That benevolent statesman, Hendrick
B. Wright, who avowed in Congress that
be was pioud to be called a demagogue, j
was received by a committee, together with
about Sve hundred of bis Greenback ad- '
miteis, headed by two bras bard.-, on his
return from Washington to Wilkesbarre
I-tet week. lie uiade afjjeec'u in which he .
declaied bin.si:!f a Grceubackcr, eulogized
bis defrateJ L. mei-tead bill, and took ec
casiou to der. oui ca Vv'i'liam A. Wallace, ;
who, he said, b.ul "i.o more brai:is tbau a ,
eacck.'' Wo have no doubt that Hen
drick C. regarded this assimilation of Sen
ator Wa'Uoe t a peacock as peculiarly
w.tty, tut it will Ix; received for j i:,t what
it ia woith by those who know Wright and
how he has never ceased to spread himself
ever siuce he, by some mysterious siroke iu
politic, was made President of the Demo
cratic Natioual Convention at Baltimore in
l?4-t, when James K. Polk was nominated
for tbe Presidency. A ail events it is
more reputable to be as brainless as a pea
cock than, like Wright, to poor's all tbe
proverbial vanity of that prondly strutting
fowl when it expands its gorgeous tail and
display its seif admiration. At this recep
tion, as well as al the late conference of the
Greenback members uf the next CVr.gresis
iu which Wiight participated, he has dis
tinctly defined his political position and
with bis boots on ha tumbled into the same
bed with Frank Hughes, Dewees, and thn
other Greenback leaders. We trust, there
fjre, that hereafter the Democracy of Lu
erne wilt give him a wide beith that they
will no longer minister to his iootdinate
vanity and self esteem, but will permit him
to cultivate bit own political cvrn with a
rnlmk hoe.
Th9 Extra Session.
Ab extra session of Congress baa always
been regarded as approaching very nearly
to a pnblio calamity, and can only be justi
fied on grounds of absolute necessity sncb
a necessity, in fact, as is conceded to exist
by both political parties for tbe extra see
sion which will begin on Tuesday next. -When
tbe 4tb of March arrived, beyond
which Congress could not legally extend
its session, tbe two bouses found them
selves nnable to agree upon at least two
questions, which had been the subjects of
earnest and protracted discussion in tbe pas
sage of two of tbe most important appropri
tion bills. One of these questions was the
repeal of tbe law, passed in 1805, empower
ing the President to use troops "to keep
me peace at rue pons, auu tue uutr . (
... . i j it t I
tbe repeal of tbe law authorizing the ap
pointment of supervisors of elections in
cities containing over 20,000 inhabitants,
and also tbe appointment of deputy United
States marshals to attend the elections for
the purpose of making anests. These offi
cers, supervisors and deputy marshals can
only act at elections every other year,
when members of Congress are to be cho
sen. The Democrats in tlie House, deny
ing the right of a President to station
troops at the polls for any purpose what
ever, or of supervisors to challenge natur
alization papers, and at their own wbim or
caprice to imprison those offe-ing to vote
on lnom- repoamig ... iu
obnoxious laws to certain appropriation
bill, to which tbe Jtepublican majority in
the Senate refused to agree, thus defeating
tbe appropriations necessary to keep the
wheels of government in operation. Hence
the call for an extra session.
In the Congress which bas but lately ad
journed, tbe repeal of these laws was a
contest between a Democratic House and
a Republican Senate, but as both bouses
when they meet on next Tuesday will be
Democratic, it will then become a contest
between a Democratic Congress and a Re
publican President, so called. The Demo
era's will pass these repealing acts separ
ately, and if Mr. Hayes vetoes tbera they
... . . .
will be attached to the appropriation bills, I
and if tbe President refuses to sign them
in that shape, tbe deadlock betwedb him
and Congress will then begin. It is not a
pleasant state of affairs to contemplate,
and of which no man can predict the end,
unless ono side or the other yields some
thing of its demands. It is not thought
that there will be any serious difficulty
about a bill prohibiting tbe use of troops
at tbe polls, but that the teal contest will
be over the supervisor's law. This law pi as
been most scandalously abused by men
like Davenport, supervisor of New York,
nnder whose despotic and bigh-banded
performances from six to ten thousand
Democratic voters of that city were pre
vented from depositing their ballots at the
election two years ago.
Our readers, we trust, will understand
from what we have said wbal the Deroo-
crats propose to do at the coming extra
' session, as well as the difficulties in the way
) of their success. Tbe country will closely
I watch the proceedings and will await the
final result of tbe conflicting views between
Congress and Mr. Hayes with feelings of
; the most profound interest.
We have been patiently waiting for the
last tb ree weeks for some member of the
House to Introduce the customary
joint i
resolution for publishing and distributing
among the members of the two houses tix
towftnd additional copies of Smull's Leg
islative Hand Book. Mr. Sherwood, a
Democratic member from Yoik county,
undertook the job towards the cloRe of last
week by offering the resolution. This 'son
of Yoik" offered a joint resolution on the
j llth of last March for publishing and di
8 i Tiding among the members precisely the
same number (6, WO) or cpies or tbe Hand
Book, and seems to be as much infatuated
with it a, was Pouter, soma few veir an !
a member from Schuylkill county, who es- '
teemed Smull's legislative statistics as bo ;
ing'next in importance to the Bible. As
we bave time and again said in denouncing
this annual pilfering by the Legislature of :
Smull's Hand Book, there is a standing '
joint resolution, apptoved on the 9th of j
May, 1871, which directs that one thousand i
copies of the Hand Book shall be published
annually for distribution among the Sena
tors, aod tieo thousand copies' for distribu
tion among the members of tbe House.
Under this resolution each member of the
1 Senate, at the beginning of the session, le-
! ceivee tieentv aud each member of tho
' House ten copies of this much prized Hand
I Book. If Sherwood's resolution passes,
1 each Senator will receive forty additional
; copies, and each member twenty copies. If
'. there is anything io the lowest grab game
that surpasses this performance of men
i who are tyled Uonorable, we would like
j to bo informed of it. When Sherwood's
resolution comes before the Houpe, if the
j Committee does not strangle it, as it ought
to do, if some member will simply ask the
j clerk to read tbe joint resolution of May
! 9tb, 197t, to which we Lave referred, any
' man who will vote for it when that is

A Strange Brooklyn Story.
HOT A REf PECTABI.K TOVVO LADY FROM
MAINE, DECEITED BT A LADY. FELLOW"
TRAVELER, WAS ENTRAPPED ISTO
A DISREPUTABLE HOUSE.
A story bas been related to us of the es
cape of a yonng lady of this city, says tbe
Portland (Me.) Press, from a fate worse
than death, and we give place to it because
it shows bow the most intelligent people
may be deceived by designing persons,
and cannot be too careful who tbey trust,
or make chance acquaintances. Tbe cir
cumstances of the case are sncb that it will
be seen at once names cannot be given. It
is sufficient to say that tbe lady iu question
is one of the most modest, well educated
daughters of a most respectable Portland
family. Miss X., as we will call the lady,
bad been making a visit to Troy, N. T.
At tbe same bouse another l.idy was tbe
1C UCBl.
who resides in one of tbe towns on
- Hu().03 River r. jtroad. iust out of New
Yoik city. Both ladies concluded their
visit at tbe same Mm and started for New
York together, .Miss X. to make a visit to
ber aunt in Brooklyn, and the other lady
for her home, lue two girls, when tbey
! entered tbe car, were full of chat, and
merely noticed that a fine-looking, elegant- i
ly dressed woman, rather past middle age,
was occupying the seat "behind them. I
Tbey ran on about each other and their
families, an girls do, bop
ing to extend the J
tber in the future. 1
linir the citv. Miss !
acquaintance with each other
A few miles before reach
X.'s friend left her, as she bad reached her
home. Soon after her friend left, Miss X.
was accosted by tbe lady on the seat behind,
who appeared to be a woman of culture, as
well as of wealth, and inquired after her
parents in Portland, whom she said she
met a few years before on a trip bouth,
spending the winter witb them in Florida.
The young lady's suspicions 'wore not
aroused, and she conversed pleasantly with
the stranger. When tbey reached New
York both ladies took a horse car for tbe
Brooklyn ferry the stranger saying she
resided in Brooklyn and continued to
gether until tbe Brooklyn shore was reach
ed. It was a winter's day. and when they
left the ferry boat it was quite dark. Miss
X. could not find her aunt's coachman, and
was in a great deal of trouble, when her
new acquaintance sjHke up and advised
her not to wait longer, but allow ber to
drive her home iu her carriage.
Miss X. thankfully accepted the offer.
The carriage was a neat brougham, with a
driver in plain livery. Her baggage bad
been forwarded from Troy by express, so
as not to hamper her. Away they drove.
and on the way the btranger said she should
have to stop at her bouse a moment to tle-
liver a message. A fine mansion was
i reached, tbe carriage stopped, and the
lady alighting, ran up tbe steps, leaving
Miss X in the brougham. In a few mo
ments she returned aud asked her to cime
in where it was warm, as she found she
should be delayed about ten minutes.
j Miss X. obeyed, and entered tbe parlor.
I As she did so tbe sti anger excused herself,
; and as she stepped from the room Miss X.
) fancied she beard the key turn in the lock,
i The next minute she heard wheels rolling
i awav. She looked out of tbe window and
! no carriage could be seen. She sprang to t
! the door, and it was opened by the strati- i
j ger, who said to her: "Miss X., it is use-
I less for yon to contend. You have been
brought here for a purpose, and you must
submit. Tears, cries will not avail you.
Follow me."
j Miss X. saw that resistance would be
! useless. It was evident she was entrapped
j and escape would only be obtained by bid
j iug her time. She followed tbe woman up
6tairs, was ushered into a handsome room
and the key turned on ber. In a few rao-
ments a tray with supper was passed in.
She dared not eat or drink, for fear of an
i anaesthetic. There she sat patiently for
1 several honrs, until ail at once she heard a
man's step, the door opened, and a gentle-
man entered. One glance was exchanged,
when tbe man exclaimed : "How did you '
come-here?" Tbe lady recognized him as I
a gentleman wbora she bad fi eque.it ly met
tbe previous winter while visiting at her
' aunt's. She replied, ''Get mo out of this
J at once, I am entrapped
at once, 1 am entrapped. I he gentleman
mougui a minute ana men said : "ibis
will be a serious matter for me. These
people all know me and cau injure me
greatly. I had engaged to meet a lady
heie at the request of the proprietor of
this house. 1 will save you, but you must
promise never to divulge my name." lie
then opened the door and both proceeded
down stairs. The proprietor, bavins con
fidence in the gentleman, had nobody on j
guard. I hey sped down stairs and out of j
the front door, down the steps, across the i
street to a hack stand, and then to Miss
X.'s aunt's. The gentleman did not leave
the carnage, but as soon as the front door
was rove a.wv- . 1,ss A- Stepped
across th
across the threshold and Tell iu a dead
faint. From tho effects of the shock she
has not entirely lecovered.
The strange woman had gathered ber
information about the lady's family from
the talk of the gills in the car, bad put
this and that together, and deceived the
unsuspecting Miss X.

Well Dohb! The Democrats in tbe
House of Representative have done tbeir
duty in insisting upon tbeir amendment to
tbe Legislative Appropriation bill repealing
tbe act appointing r ederal supervisors over j
elections for Congressmen ; and also ia in
sisting upon their amendment to tbe Army
Appropriation bill prohibiting tbe presence
of Uoiiod States troops at tbe polls on elec
tion days.
Tbe two booses falling to agree respect
ing tbese subjects, tbe bills were not passed,
so that no appropriation has been made for
tbe support of the army; and accordingly
an extra session if rendered. necessary. At
that session tbe Democrats, being in a ma
jority in both Houses, wilt be able to pass
tbese two bills in tbe precise form in which
tbe Senate bas now .-ejected them.
Tbe thanks of tbe country are due to the
Democratic members of tbe House for
standing firm to the last in behalf of these
amendments, because tbey were matters of
vital and fundamental principle. Tbe one
against tbe nse of soldiers at the polls is of
the first moment; and it seems surprising
that Republican Senator should have eon
tended so obstinately for a thing so dan
gerous to liberty as a law empowering the
Executive to use the armed force of the
country for tbe purpose of managing elec
tions. Hardly less important is tbe abolition of
the system of Federal election supervisors
asvstem of which Mr. John I. Davenport
of this city has from tbe first been the most
conspicuous exemplar. It is a vicious and
a noxious system. Thousands upon tbous-
anas ot omciais nave oeen appointed ai
important elections, and large sums of
money expended to control tbe result in
tbe interest of tbe dominant party. This
system was not created through the enact
ment of an independent statute. Tbe
question of its establishment was never
broadly discussed and fairly determined by
Congress. It was insertedinto an appro
priation bill in 1873, and passed at the end
of tbe session. It is eminently fitting,
then, that it should now be repealed in aa
appropriation bill.
We congratulate tbe Democratic party,
and we congratulate tbe country, upon the
fidelity and steadiness now displayed in
tbisn matters by tbe House of Representa
tives. Better five extra sessions than the
continuance of tbese unjustifiable, anti
democratic Jaws! X. T. Hun.
Mrs. Gf.n. Sherman ajtd Archbishop
Pckcei.T Mrs. W. T. Sherman was call
ed upon the other day at the residence of
ber daughter, Mrs. t'. W. Elder, in Balti
more, iu reference to tbe feeling of the
Catholic ladies toward Archbishop Purcell.
She appeared deeply interested in the sub
ject, and npon being asked what the ladies
of the United States wonld probably do for
the Archbishop, she replied, "I don't think
they can properly do anything until Car
dinal McCJoskey calls upon them officially.
It is too stupendous a matter for ladies to
deal with except in an official and organized
manner."
"Have you thought of any plan by which
the ladies could help the embarrassed
Archbishop ?"'
"No ; but the Catholic ladies, I think,.
would take hold of any plan looking to bis
.relief. I am confident of this." Speaking
i of the Archbishop's troubles, Mrs. Sherman
said thai it was a terrible calamity, and bas
beon a severe blow to her personally. She
hrtd known tbe Archbishop since she was
a little girl, and his brother for forty years,
and she added, "There are not two better
men in existence than tbey."
"What do yon. think of the objection be
ing raised in some dioceses that by coming
to tbe assistance of the Archbishop a bad
precedent will be established?"
"VVby, she said earnestly, "I think it j
is not a bad precedent on the contrary a
very good one. You might as well 6ay we
should (tsnd by and see a man drown, with
folded bands, for fear of establishing a bad
precedent by saving him. If I had !f 1,000,
000 I would give it to tho Archbishop if it
wonld save him. Are we
re to-tand by and .
6ee him ruined ?" she exclaimed. ,-I am j
a woman, ana, perhaps, it may appear
presnmptuons, but I don't see how they
can avoid aiding bim."
I In her opinion, the call for aid would be
, cheerfully answered on all sides.
New I'ostai. Conveniences. The
clause in the Postoflico Appropriation bill
which provides for the douMe postal card,
also provides for a letter sheet envelope. !
which is to be stamped as envelopes are
now stamped, and a double letter envelope.
l he double postal card is in size similar to
the present one cent card
It bears at both
upper corners a one cent stamp and lines
I are orawn irom tne center, slnping down
j wards to each lower corner, to be written
j upon. The writer of the card uses the
j right band side and the receiver uses the
, left hand side for bis reply. The double
! letter envelope is stamped twice, ar.d the
sender u?c s the right and the receiver the
left hand side in writing the address. At
! the back of the envelope is a double gum
med nap divided by a pei rotated line. The
lower one is used for sealing by the sender,
and the receiver uses bis knife along the
perforated line and has a new gummed flap
ready for use. The letter sheet envelope
is designed to do away with outer enveN
opes. Its patentee claims great merit for
it for the leason that it often occurs that
the date which a wiiting has been mailed
cannot be ascertained because tbe envelope
has been lost. Here letter and envelope
are one. The new law does not direct the
Postmaster General to issue these patented
c mveniences. It only allows him the dis
cretion to do so. The Postoffice Depait
n.ent had nothing to do with having this
clause inserted ia the bill.
Mistakes will happen, as for instance:
A reporter of the Cincinnati Enquirer was
sent to a hotel to interview Gen. Sherman.
The reporter sent up his card, and a young
lady, attended by a footman, who was aim
in the leceptiou room, sent up ber card at
the same time. The messencer soon re
turned with two car-is fiom Gen. Sherman,
nnd the clerk handed one to the reporter :
the other to the footman. The reporter
read the card that had been handed to him,
while his hair stood on end, as follows :
"Itegret exceedingly that I can't come.
1 Give my love to your mother, and assure her
I have not forgotten old times. Hope the
soiree wulbe a succe.-p, as I in sore it will
be. Pardon the witticism when I say that
yours truly is very soiree be can t be pre
sent. W. T. S." Tbe reporter bad just
finished reading and realized the mistake
that bad been made, when, looking up, be
6aw whirl away the carriage which con
tained the young Udy. Just then a card
beating tbe following rude inscription
dropped from the lady's nerveless baud and
fluttered to tbe ground : Gotoh 1 ! What
do I care about the array, the Chinese bill,
the Coolie trade, the Presidential question,
or any other d d question 1 Never heard
of a man named Tilden, and don't want
to, but I regard him as a horse thief of the
deepest dye. Again I say, as I said in the
beginning, go there yonrself I W. T. S.
Ccpid's Capers. A Shelbyville, Ind.,
dispatch of the 7fh says : There has been
a queer courtship and marriage so much
out of the ordinary run of such affairs as to
be worthy of special mention for the en
couragement of despondent lovers. About
two months ago, a mutual tiiend induced
Mr. Jos. Baldwin, of Johnson county, this
State, and Mrs. Virginia Hess of Martins
ville, to enter into a correspondence with
a view to matrimony. Mr. Baldwin had
reached the ripe age of eighty-one years, is
a prominent member of tbe Christian
Chinch, and a well known and influential
citizen. A fter exchanging several letters,
he visited Mrs. Hess, who proved to be a
widow nearly sixty years old. They seem
to have fallen in love at first sight, as they
were mat ried the next day. Thus the in
troduction, betro'hal and wedding all took
place in less than twenty four boura. The
friends of the parties were gr eatly surprised
at tbe marriage of the couple, who were
supposed to have reached au ago proof
against Cupid'sdarts. They are, however,
as loving as two turtle-doves, and have set
tled down to live in Franklin, this State,
apparently in tbe enjoyment of tbe greatest
earthly bliss.

Smith was present in Wichita. "Present
and ready," was the reply over the thou
sand miles wire, aud then the preacher pro
