A good deal hue been said by the Dem ocratic newspapers of this State sioce the meeting of the extra sessiou of Congress in refereuce to the open and active opposition of Senator William A. Wallace to the nomi nation of Samuel J. Randall as Speaker of the House of Representatives. It has been very well known for several years tbat as between Mr. Wallace and Mr. Randall iheir political and personal lelatious have not beeu altogether lovely and of good report. We do not precisely know what was the origin of the difficulty between the Senator and the Congiessman, and even if wo did we would not inflict upon our ireaders a discussion oT its merits, for the reason tbat we are Rick unto death of the personal ri valries and contentions of the nieu who un dertake to set themselves up as leaders cf the Demociaey in this State. Wo respect both of the gentlemen referred to in their own proper spheres of action, but we re fuse blindly to follow either of them by espousing their personal quarrels. It may be an unwarranted conclusion on our part that the pobsession of a little brief authority has induced each of them to be lieve tbat "after us the delude," aud yet the IVtnociattc patty of Pennsylvania would continue to exist and to pursue the even tenor of its ay if neither of them had ever reached .1 high and honorable public position. It is to bo regretted, however, that a bitter feeling of hostility should ex ist between two such prominent membeis of the paity, because their quarrel will most likely bo taken up by their respective friends and be precipitated w ith all its an imosittes upon the next Democratic State C'ouveution, and tbat too just at a time when, in view of the overwhelming import ance of the Presidential election next year, pei feet peace aud harmony should prevail iu the Democratic household. The strife has even gone so far already as to assign to Mr. Wallace the championship in this State of Judge Thuiman as the Democratic can didate for Preiaideut, aud to Mr. Randall a like position in favor of Governor Tildeu. We do no not of course suppose for a mo ment that either of them will attempt to cany out any piar. of this programme. Whatever heartburnings exist between them, however, must be assuaged before the meeting of the convention, or be buried until the couteet of 1SS0 is over, for iu our judgment I ho Democracy of the State will not be in any humor to peimit themselves to bo dirted with and the delibeiations of their delegates distracted by side issues, 110 matter by wliom they may be started, Pennsylvania is a large State sufficiently so. one would suppose, for the political am bition of Me'srs. Wallace and Randall to spread itseif and for each to realize his proudest aspirations. Thus far each has succeeded in teaching the position be cov o cd, an! now their paity will not only in sist that tlieyl'O put on their good behavior, but will ligidly enforce the demand. In this connection wc lauiot refiaiu from saying that expei ienced and blnewj a politician as Mr. Wallace is admitted to bo, yet in our view he committed a great lnis'ake, no matter what tho provocation w as, to array himself in opposition to Mr. Randall's candidacy for the Speakership, atid especially so when the Pennsylvania delegation in tho IIouso weie standing at Mr. Kandall's back. Thai was a power which Mr. Wallace oueht to have known that ho, solitary and aloi;o, Could not m:c Cessfully resist, mueli less destroy. For nta:;y leasons we legard Mr. RindaU's election to ti e Speakership at this time as a political nt cessity , a i d such we think its the genera! feeling of the DemoJiacy of the country. TiiK editor of tho I ihnsto.vn Tfl'i 'rue i detei mined upon being in iern b 1 and for no other 1 canon than tLe pi e.-er,ce in tho l'n i t d States Senate of quite a number of ex-Rebel t eneials atid the Momim-nt nosi- tr. ivcii thei.i on the standing comniit- tees. '1 he Tri'. ui,f knows c lri'.-.inr knows ns well as it knows any o'her f,ic', that in the Southern States, whoso people w ere of one heart and one mind i'i favor of secession, it would be next to impossible to elect a man to Con Kress who bad not been cither aa active or a pc ssi ve re lie I. The Sou t he 1 11 people have simply conferred the highest political lion o:s on the men who stood by them during the bloody smuggle and biavcly fn.ght their battles. When h ostilities commenced Gordon, Rmsom, Hamptom. Withers. Gar land .vul Maxey did not slan.l upon the o.der of their going, but rushed St once to te front a-id into the thickest of the fight. They did u it, like Iilaiue, seek a pi ofitab'e gun con'tae", nor, like Chan 1'er, stand on tho sikewalk in Washington cheering the boys in blue as they matched along, and displaying bis pat 1 intir.m by vigorously damning thorebels. How immensely su peiior iu all the qualifications of a Senator ate not there ex-rebels to the. brood td cai- , pet baggeis ha'ehed by reconstruction , I'a'.tei in, Coiiover, Doisey, Spencer, Kel h'gg, and otheis. If theie aie only tieo Union Cieueials in the Senate, Ruruside ' and I.orrnn. and only one, II aw ley, from 1 the New England Slates, tho Republicans ' must bear the responsibility. They could have sent one fiom this ?'a!e, but they piefened to elect a man who, while men hko General Heaver were libtiug for tho I'uion was tpeculating iu army mules at Hariisburg. Could they not also have found a Union soldier in Michigan in place of el l Z ich. Chandler ? The Democrats, too, elected Rev. Mr. Ilulloek, of Virginia, m Chaplain to the Senate, and that is the i'.st st: aw on the Tri'vr.e'a back, for the reason that be happened to rr.arry John C. Hi eckeni idge's sister. This is dreadful r.ud not easy to he borno with in a fiee coutitiy, but after awhile the Tribune will get us.-ot to it aud console itself with the rctleetiou that "whatever is, is right."' Is" tin? editors of Republican newspapers know what they aie talking about, Samuel J. Tilden, paia'yzed, wind biokcn, and physically wrecked though he be aceoiding to tl.eti r -poi s pulicd the wires and is 1 1 -sponsible for the elec'ion of Mr. Ilinda 1 as Speaker of the Hoaw. Standing thus, iu Republican estimation, '.villi one foot in the gtave and tho other on the ground, Mr. Tilden displays T.oudei fill cnei gy and ac tivity. and would make a very livtly and business like Piesidcnt. It is not stated whether the cunning o;d man used a cipnor dispatch or a barrel of money iu seducing tieaily all the leading Congiessmen from the South into the support of a Northern man for Speaker, thus silencing tho bloody sh'ut howl of the Republican leaders that the "coiifedei ate brigadiers" in the House would organize it tofeuit their own tieasou ablc pin pores.

Pennsylvania' Phenomenon. WHAT THE BtPEKSTITIOLS THOUGHT OV THK bVTPOsED SULPHUR SHOW ER. A Reading special of the 28d to the New York Sun says : The fall of a yellow sut dtance on the eve of St. Patrick' day, which was at first supposed to be sulphur, is still the npipermost topic heie. The shower extended over an ana of about two hundred miles, including the counties of Berks, Lehigh, Carbon, Schuyikill, and Luei ce,and tliat the "yellow snow" came to stay with us awhile is shown by the fact that quantities of it can yet be seen stick ing to the stones and bricks along the principal streets. Many theories aie ad vanced as to what the substance really is, coo, .0. . - - .Many persons still ciai.n tuat ic is geuumo . suipuur, wnue omeis aver iimi il in mo j pollen of piue trees, wafted on the wind : from t be pine foiests of the S.'Uthei n couu - . j try. Those of the former opinion are 1 ; mostly of a superstitious turn, and brbtve . that this sulphur is sent as a warning for 1 ; r.s to turn fiom our wicked ways, and : hereafter walk more circumspect ly . They ' say that t lie sulphur was found iu the ; greatest quantities in front of the doors of : i the unrinhteous, especially keepers of sa ! loons. They scout tho idea that it is pol- ) ' let), aud ask where so much of that article : could come from. These people, with : blanched faces, asked each other if this i ' was an omen that tho world was coining to ; an end in the near future. , The savants of this region have been j paying paiticular attention to this matter ; ; since it fell, aud many opinions aie ottered 1 as to what it really is. Dr. Traill Gieen, , Professor of Chemeslry in Lafayette Col- j j lege, Bothlehem, wiitesas follows in refer- j ; euce to tho shower of sulphur : "it is not : ; surprising that the yellow substauco oh- ! I seived on the snow on Mouday wassuppos- 1 . ed by many persons to be sulphur. It , i certainly resembled it veiy mue.i. Those J w ho bad never observed it before, aud had ; j never read a description of it, may be sur j ! prised when they aie infoimed that the ' j yellow which they saw was niado up of I beautiful little plants well known to natur- ahsts, belonging to a giei. t class of the vegetable kingdom, A'.jf, some of which ; j exceed in length our tallett tiees, while : others are so small as to be invisible to the . j naked eye except w hen collected;in masses, .' ' as is the case with the little plant which j ! came to us in our lale snow stoiui. Many j were pleased to seo tho 'yellow snow' te- ; . solved by the ruicroscopo into beautiful ! I oval bodies, to observe them enlarged mid I way between tho terminal points, and then ' see them divide and become two, multiply- ; ing by self division. This Jitllo plant car- I I ries on the various functions which are ob- j i sei ved iu higher plants, such as collecting ,1 t . . 1. . : . ; . 1. j aud digesting its food, secreting a peculiar j ; ttuid with which the cell is tilled, and per- j ; ioiiii,ig mi 1110 1 acts wuicii ejiong to a nv ! '" organism. No one who sees it wilh I the help of a microscope would ever iuiag I i tr e that it is brimstone, or any other inor j ganic substtance. It belongs to the botan i leal genus 1'rotococrns, or 'simplest plants.' I The J'roloroccus Jt'iruhi, or 'red snow,' : was observed by Saussnreon tho Hravau in j 1700, and ou St. I5erna-d ; in 177H by Capt. ; Ross in IJ a Hi u 's Hay. and by Pairy and . Fiatiklin in their northern voyag-s. ' Pliny also speaks of it, and asciihes the j led color to the ?e of tho snow, but ho did not see the red color in tho microscopic : field, and, it may be, had only beard of it. ! This species n ay lemain in a state of dor I mailt vita.ity f r many yeais. It is in this : state that the little plums are wafted about 1 iu atmospheric current, and beinnr brought : down by tho rain into pools, cisterns, etc., I they may piesent themselves where none j have been pieviously known to exist, and ' tle.e, under favoiablo cii sumstances, they may undergo a veiy rapid nmltiplica 1 turn.

Dr. Ervinp of Mauch Chunk, and other scientific men her ah outs, aifiee on this stibjec, and give the same explanation f the phenomenon. ; Many of our jeopli tried vni 'iis cxpeii 1 incuts on tho substance. They found ir to i be without tnste or smell, and w hen lighted j with a match would burn readily, and was : of .1 sticky, greasy nature. Tin: vot'Ni; J.uY who fell iu love with her father's coachman has been heard from again. This time she lives, or lived, in ilio at istoeiT.t ic ci'y of Haitfoid, and her fath er is a'i ai sitoerat io ex-Govei nor of ("on tire' lent. Theie is reason to fear that tbi yi'tinc lady has been uiievonsly misled by t!:e exceptional expei ierce of dosepbine, and that the VT,;e.g Mr. Sheppnid has i:n- pose.! tipon licr with the idea tnaf. tie was changed at miise. and that the Governor really is the coachman aud the coachman the Governor. Should this prove to be the ra. Mr. Hubbard d eibih ss will bear ihe. c'o.'i.'P willi h'Miniii 7 1 csi.-n.at ion : but this eiitei prisinz young lady would have ('.me well to establish the birth of her lov e; fust and many him afterward, if she still felt inclined. Ever since the days of Y.lhkins and his Dinah ti e il.iughteis of rich papas have been failing in love in baste with coachmen and gardeners and repenting at their leisure. For while it is ; true that love levels lanks to a consider- 1 ble extent, it does not, as Sir Joseph I '..fr iar wise'y remarks, level them as much as that, and if Miss linhbau! bad duly cor .sidere.i that she was in all prohaility leav ing her papa's luxurious homo, bung with ancestral armor and old brasses, carved o vk and tapestry from distant Koine, raie blue and white, Venetian linger glasses, tieh Oriental rugs, and so forth, for a daik and dinirv room in some back street, with stuffy ct il iren cryiic where organs ye l and clacking housewives fum and c'otlics aie hanging out all day a-riryiuif bad Miss Hubbaid duly considered these things, the god of season might have got tho better of the god of love. Were bo nunc highly boi n or she morn lowly, we might w ish the enterprising couple nil good foitune, but there is not. often much good fortune in store for girls who aie so much wiser than their fathers and their fiiends, and the best we can hope for Miss Hubbaid is that her Jack Sheppaid may tuiu out less of a , lascal than present, appearances would in dicate.

Captain Norman Crane on bis death bed at Myers" Hotel, in Washington, last Sunday night, says the Philadelphia Ti7T of the 2id, expressed bis willingness to be married to a woman with whom be had lived for five years and who bad all along been known as Mrs. Ma:y Crane, bis wife. The idea in going tlironth the marriage ceremony was that Mrs. Crane Miould get her pait of the $20,(0:) of earthly goods about to be left by him. Tho Rev. Dr. James f. Addison was sent for. Accord ing to his own s'a'ement when bo asked the tapid'y sinking Crane if be weie "will ing to many this woman'' Celie Crane, the Captain's sister, put her hand on the dy ing man's month and thus prevented the consummation of the maniago. Upon the death of the man the isister seized the p ropor'y. The le'ters offered in evidence by Mrs. Oliver against Hon, Simon Cameron, after a careful examination, show that in the letters containing the alleged promise of ; marriage, claimed to be signed by Mr. ; Cameiou, the g's bavo a loop, wbiio in Mr. : Cameron's handwriting there is simply a stroke at the end, and no loop. Also, tbat ' in commencing a letter Mr. C. capitalizes the d in dear, and in tho alleged letters the dear commences with a small letter, and his y's have no loop, as appear in the t wo letters relied on. Ben Butler made a ; point tbat will be considered, at least byt he fraternity, as well taken ; that is that Cameron, having been a practical printer, would never have split his words in this manner. Willows have to be cuefnl in ; their penmanship, if they want to set. up ; jobs on us fellows. According to the Angusta (Ga.) Xftr$ : ' a ben at the South Carolina Railroad yard, i io that city, took a notion a few days since j to lay her egss in the tender-box on Bob Hubbard's switch engine, and notwith-i standing that veteran's views to the con- ! trary she persisted in getting her work ao far advanced that it was deemed prudent j to let her "13V." After depositing, as n'ac ; thought, the usual complement of fresh ' eegs in order to go into the spring chicken ; business, she finally settled down to her : woik and is now daily sitting on her nest. Sho never leaves the engine only occasion- j ally when it stops in the yard, and then ; only for a few moments, to fly off, pick , around and stretch herself. The engine is ' in constant use and crossing and recrossing j . the city daily, pulling long trains of cars. ' The encineer has fitted heYtip with a nice, 1 comfortable cotton nest and before long ' : expects to have a whole lot of steam-engine ' i chickens. One of the boldest bank robberies ever j known in Pittsburgh came to light on Sa'- j urday, although the Irank officials were , trying to keep the matter quiet and would ; not even describe the thieves to the police, j About noon on Friday a man went to Mr. j Smith, the President of the A rt isans' Bank ', and also the President of (he Artisans' In- i suratice Company, which ha? an office , . above the bank, and asked about some in- i sutanco matters, .lust then another man ' drove up in a bupgy and was introduced to Mr. Smith as a friend of the first caller. ; The latter said be would go tip to the in surance office, and left Snsith talking to tho : man in the buegy. Another man then en- 1 gaged the cashiei's attention about a diaft, while the first rascal slipped into the Pies ident1 room and carried off all the cur en- ' , ev be could get bold o-f and a lot of bonds, j 1 The thiee then drove off in the bugsy. i The amount stoln cannot be learned, but is at least $1,000 in currency and $1,000 or $5,000 iu bonds. The Boston dole says that the first puzzle in the Lynn mysteiy is solved. Thursday afternoon the body of the tin for- t'inate girl found in a Hank iu the Sangus river was identified by Mrs. Olive Jaue CHik, of Boston Highlands, as that of her daughter, Jennie P. Clai k. A mole, other marks and the facial similarity clinched the identity. Jennie was 20 yeais old on Feb- ruary 2J, the day the body was found. She was a sweet-faced, smiling little creature. with Wifre, innocent eyes a meie child. Her father was a soldier in the lale war. Her mother, a w id ow, supposed that Jen nie was at woik in the bouse of A. N.
