The Democratic State Committee, at j
!t meeting ia Pittsburg on Thursdav of
mg
last week, fixed upon Harrisburg as the j
place and Wednesday April ii?th as the
time for hoMkig the State Convention.
Tht; time might very appropriately have
teen made a month later, to accomodate
several counties whose Democracy pre
fer that their delegates should be chosen
by county conventions, instead of by
county committees. But the Wallace
Eien, at least it was so said, wanted an
early cuiive-ution, while the men who
wear by Randall, favored a late one ;
and henca the result. The strong pro
babilities are that the conclusion arriv
ed at by the Committee, will neither
make nor mar the Presidential aspira
tions of Mr. Tiiden. or any of the ether
candidates.

an exhibition of timely and generous

of words to express.
I.k the lower hranch of Congress, on
Friday last, the troublesome and much
discussed question of the appointment
andjcompetisation eif special deputy mar
shals was finally disposed of by the pass
age of an amendment to an appropriation
till, and if tLe Senaie concurs, a3 wc
rresuni" it will, the controversy, for the
present f;t least, will be at an end. The
amendment provides that hereafter the
deputr marshals shall be appointed, not
Vy the ?Jars!ud, but by tho Judje of
the Circuit Court cf the United States
for the district in which such marshals
are to per'orrr their duties, or by the
District Judge in the absence of the
Circuit Court Judge. It also provides
tint they shall bo appointed in equal
numbers from the different political par
ties, instead of ail being of or.e political
complexion, r.s has been the case hereto
fore, and that thry shall h men of good
character. It there must be special de
puty marshals at elections when Con
gresmen arc to bo chosen (and it is only
then that they can bo appointed) this
amendment is a reasonable protection
against the imfareous use. of their pow- i
r ur.der the present law, by such Mar- '
sha'sas James N. Kerns in Philadelphia
and the notorious John L. Davenport in
New York.

Pn,a -uoniajfiie ami apuit-i quarrel is

that the State Committee has nothing

I mittec cau dictate the names of the del

; can do so for every county in the State,
: which would be an exercise of power
' not to le dreamed of fur a moment.

j to judge of the election of those who

WAsnixcsTOt? is thoroughly shaken
up by a social earthquake. Mrs. llva
A. Lock wood, the femile, or blackmail
lawyer of that city, as the sse may be,
for some t;me paat has bsen devoting
; herself to the collection of scandalous
; fact3 about certain Senators and mem
bers of Congress. She appears to be do
: ing quite a flourishing business, nasty
though it N, but such as a strong-minded
woman who unsexes heiself to play the
i role of attorney would delight to be en
! gaged pt. She is counsel for en Jen
: nie Raymond of Atlanta, Georgia, who
; has bren m Washington for several
tveeks past for tho purpose of seeing
i what comfort in UieshPi-eof money, she
i canl ext met through Mrs. Lock wood "3
; legal abilities out of Ben Hill, a mem
i ber of the I. S. Senate from Georgia,
, whom Miss R. charges with the crime
i of seduction. Hill denies the soft im-
pcp.chment. and affirms that the whole
I affairis a bold attempt to blackmail him
for the mutual benefit of Jennie and ber
lawyer, Mrs. Lockwood. In addition to
'. this lending case. Mrs.L professes to have
1 sufficient evidence now in her possession
; to convict two other Southern Senators,
: as well as a member ef the House from
j each cf the following States : Virginia.
! Ohio, Illinois and Mississippi six in all
; of the same offence which the Atlan-
ta woman charges ngainst Hill. This
is certainly a good beginning, and
' speaks well for Mrs. Loekwood's enter
prise and it ill in her profession. She is
said to bm f. woman of more than ordi

: The Democratic State Committoo is

i Guthrie, of Altoona, having been a 1
! mitted to fill the jilace of I). F. IJoyd,
of this place, the regular member of the
Comia'ttee, but who could not attend.
It appears from the published proceed-
j ingsof the LVuriinittcc that when the roil
i of the Committee was called by one of
the Secretarys and thi Thirty-fiflh dis
) trict (Cambria and B'air) was reached,
Guthrie, who wr.s tVn in the room,
I modestly announced that be lived in the
district, snd as Mr. L'oyd was r.ot pre

: place. The Chairman then read a teie
. gram from Mr. Lloyd stating that ho
: had not substituted any or.e in his pince,
. and after some discussion. Mr. Stein
i man. of Lancaster, moved that Gntlu-ie
be admitted, and that motion prevailed,
j We aro very certain that no other Dem
,' oerat in this State ever got into a room
i where the Slate Committee was in sss
; ion and took part in its deliberations, in
as scurvv a manner as Guthrie did in
.this instance. It wa, of conre, very
: kind and considerate in Guthrie to take
care that the district should not be nn
i representee!, but in doing so it wasbard
: ly net-es.ary for him to display an
i amount rf cheek that would ma'ie an

Wn Thkt Wavt to ek I'aedos
ki. The Board of Pardons have agreed
to hold a special session ou Saturday,
the 27th iru-tant, for the pnrposc of hear
ing the arguments in the riot bribery
cases. ?5otice was nerved on Thursday
afternoon upon the District Attorney
and Judge Pearson. The reasons ac
companying the applicstion for the par
dons, after reviewing the act of 1?41,
whicn makes Philadelphia and Alle
gheny counties liable for ir.oh damages,
and which the reasons arnnu to lo an
unjust discrimination against those lo
calities, recites the history in brief of
the introduction and progress of the Riot
bill in tlie legislature, referR to the ex
citement attending every vote upon it,
and says that because of the intense
fe-eling against the act of lS4lMr. Kem
ble, like many other citizens, did all he
could for the passage of the Riot bill, in
order that Allegheny and Philadelphia
should have relief; that he was not
personally interested in the passage of
the bill, but only assisted, as did other
citizens ef the. State, in creating a sub
stantial support for it ; that his testi
mony before the Investigating Commit
tee had made him technically guilty of
a violation of the act of 1S74, and desir
ing to hide nothing, and reaffirming tho
truth, he had put in a plea of guilty, ac
companied by his protest that the plea
should not be construed into an admis
sion of criminal guilt on his part. The
ends e.f justice do not demand that a
sentence of tine and imprisonment be
imjKsed. The public conviction is all
that justice demands, and now, since
the law has been interpreted and con
viction had its effect, justice will not be
impaired by a pardon ; that the punish
ment already suffered by these, in their
soeial and business relations, is alto
gether enough to satisfy the law and the
Board.
According to the New York papers
the indications multiply of an immense
Irish immigration during the coming
summer. The steady demand for bills
on Ireland, in small amounts, shows
that. Money has Leen sent to bring out
a great many families from the famine
districts, and, according to the testi
mony of those who are in a position to
know, there is scarcely a servant girl
that is not contributing more or less to
the furtherance of that purpose for the
benefit of her relatives. There are
many withdrawals of savings banks dc
Ioeits as a result of this. There is to bo
an organization peifeeted in Chicago
next veek, to provide homes for the
newcomers as soon as they reach New
York, ami an effort -will be made to ex
fend its operations to th' hitter city.
The movement thus far is under the au
spices of the Catholic Colonization So
ciety, and haR the approval rf Rev.
Father Nugent ( who is sometimes cull
ed the "Father Mat hew," of Liverpool
and of several bishops of the Catholic
Church at the Northwest. IL is believ
ed that hind can be found for a good
many of these immigrants in Minnesota,
avid arr.ingement3 wiil be made ith the
steamship companies to bring them out
at reduced f;!n-s. The advanee sruard
will consist of one hundred families from
the district of Conemara. Bishop O'
Connor, of Omaha, engages to find lands
for fifty or sixty of thes in Nebraska.
Their stay in New York will be no long
er than to enable them to step from the
steamship to the cars.
