The off
official returns of the census
show that in Pennsylvania there are 9,
.,16 more females than there are males,
bo that the chances for a man getting a
vrifa in this Ftate are fcy no means des
perate. Tn e nomination by Mr. Hayes of his
friend Stanley Matthews aa Associate
-lost ice of the Supreme Court of the
United States has not yet teen reported
to the Senate by the Judiciary Commit
tee, nor is it likely to be, unless the Sen
ate adopts a resolution instructing the
committee to to do. It it thought that
the friend of Matthews in the Senate
will attempt to pas such a resolution,
believirg that they have strength enough
to confirm him, but Borne of the leading
Republican S'enators, Mr, Edmunds
among them, are hostile to him, and if
his nomination is confirmed it will be
through Democratic cowardice aad
treachery.
Hon. Wm. A. Wallace delivered
a very able and lengthy speech in the
Senate, on Friday last, on the subject of
his proposed amendment to the consti
tution prov iding for the election of Pres
ident and Vice President by a direct
vote of the people. Mr. W. Etated that
lie had no hope of its adoption at the
present session, but that lie had offered
it as a contribution to the agitation of
the question, from which alone a change
can come. If that gentleman's col
league, Don Cameron, were to remain in
the Senate until he was as old a3 hit?
father now is, he would never be able to
deliver such a speech to a listening and
appreciative Senate on a subject of deep
future concern to the people of the whole
country.
The latest scandal in that city of
scandals, Washington, is the reported
arrest by the police on last Friday night,
in a general raid oa gambling houses, of
two members of the Senate ard fuiir
members of the House, intently engaged
at the inteiesting game of faro in one of
the fashionable hells of that modern Sod-
ora. It is stated that they gave false J
J " I
names to uie puuee omcers, out are an
well known members of Congress. Their
names are published, that of Sharon, the
Silver King Senator from Nevada, head
ing the list. While the name of one

Southern br'.ga.lier is to Le found a
circumstance that will sadly interfere
vrith the expression of a fearful amount
of indignation ty the loyal press of the
country.
Francis P. Blair, from his long
residence in Washington, where he first
Appeared as the editor of the (Hole, the
official organ of Genera! Jackson's ad
ministration, was on terms of intimacy
with inoat nitn of note at the national
capital during his day, and numbered
Robert E. Teo as one of his friends.
Blair was bitterly opposed to the doc
trine cf secession, aud his 3ou, Montgom
ery Blair, in a recent letter to a friend
in Missouri, in which he refers to an in
terview between hi.i father and General
Lee at the outbreak of the rebellion,
aays : "Lee told my father in the room
in which I write this note, when my
father, at Lincoln's request, offered him
the command of our army, that he wa3
utterly optvjsed to secession regarded
it as anarchy and said if he owned
every slave in the country he would free
ly surrender them rather than see the
L'nion dissolved ; and yet he took up
arms for the cause he himself had pro
nounoed illegal and minou.?, because his
relatives and friend? were involved in
it."
It was easy as rolling off a log to get
a majority of the House at Washington
one day last week to postpone the Con
gressional Apportionment till, a recces-
Eary measure ami one that will save
Fsnusylvania, as well its a great many
other States, the cost of extra sessions
of their Legislatures, and to take up for
consideration the swindling Kiver and
Harbor bill a bill that is emphatically
the sum of all Congressional villainies, j
The bill appropriates about eleven mil- j
lions of dollars, and Va) members with ;
keen scent for plunder voted in favor i
of taking the bill up, while the Apior
tionment bill could only muster the beg- j
garly number of 79 votes. Mr. Cox is j
doing the people of every .State in which
biennial legislative sessions are held a j
manly service in hia efforts to force the '
Apportionment bill through tho House j
in spite of all obstructions, so that it i
can be acted on in the Senate before the ;
session close?, and he still adheres to his '
belief that he will accomplish his honest i
intentions. Congress, however, is a very j
uncertain body, and Mr. Cox may in the
end fail in his laudable purpose. j

Ix our last issue we published the bal
lot for U. S. Senator taken on "Wednes
day of last week, which was the latest
we could give. During that night Oli
ver and Grow both withdrew from the
contest, and Don Cameron substituted
as his candidate General James A. lea
ver, of Centre county. The Grow men
held a caucus and nominated Hon. Thos.
M. Bayne, one of the two present Alle
gheny county Republican Congressmen
the anti-machine men for Bavne. Hea
ver is a thick and thin Cameron man,
was one of his pliant third term tools at
the Chicago convention, and is as ob
noxious to the bolters as Oliver was,
Bayne is, and has been, opposed to Cam
eron's assumed ownership of the Repub
lican party in this State, and for that
reason will never be supported by Cam
eron's henchmen. What the final result
of the contest will be it would be idle to
conjecture, though an impression pre
vails in some quarters at Ilarrisburg
that an end will be put to the struggle
to-day (Wednesday), but we know no
reason to warrant such n conclusion.
I S.Siuce writing the foregoing we !
have received the ballot of AVednesday,
which was as follows : Wallace, 74;

immediately after the defeat of the Be
publicans in Mainelast September, which '
was regarded as fatal to Garfield's elec- ;
tion. put himself at the head of a secret
movement to raise an enormous cor- i
ruptioa fund from Republican million- '
aires in the Eastern cities, for the ex
press purpose of buying tne vote of the
State of Indiana in October. The mon
ey was raised was poured into Indiana,
and accomplished its infamous purpose.
John Welsh professes to be a moral, re- i
ligious man, and yet ha knew that the; j
money he assisted in securing was to be
I used in corrupting and debauching; the
voters of Indiana, 'and in procuring from
them a verdict at the polls that other
wise they would not render. A man
who will raise or contribute to a fund
knowing that it is to be used in purchas
ing "votes, is not fit to hold any office,
and he is especially not fit to be elected
to the U. S. Senate. The very members
from 1'hiladelphia who presented thse
petitions refuser! to vole for Welsh, i
1 showing that if they did not legard
j them as an "insult" they would at least
I treat them with supreme contempt.
That there in such a thing as intem
Iraneo in legislation which professes to
promote the cause of temperance is
abundantly proven by some of the meas
ures that are annually introduced into
various State Legislatures on the subject.
The mcst remarkable production of the
kind that has made its appearance
during the present period of legislative
sessions, is a bill offered by a Mr, Cody,
a member of the Legislature of Kansas.
The bill contains many sweeping penal
ties for a violation of the constitutional
amendment, recently adopted in that
State, prohibiting the manufacture or I Piv!'s n.ore of a variety than anyother publi
' . ! cation of the kind in the countrv, and yet it

: Forney on Cameron. Colonel Forney,
i whose competency as a judge in the matter
J will not be disputed, draws the following pen
portrait of Catneronism in the politics of this
State, in a recent number of his rronrts :
j '"The Carr.erens never forgive. They of
fend ; but never apologize. They punish:
they payitribute out of other people's money:
! they remind yon of all favors bestowed ; but
! they never fail to follow to the end of life the

I What Dok. This Mf.av? We rrr:rit a I
letter fr-.in Judge Oodrtard. of l oithiud, j
which exhibits in cold figures the astonishing i
degradation of the standard of morals in a ;
; New England State la less 'hnn th'rty (
! years t number of e.mvieis in the Maine
: Slate prison has increased tnoie than two ;
I hundred per ot lit., while the population out- .
j side the prison wails has increased on! v i.iiir- j
; teen per c -nt. In respect to some 'of the j
! more heinous crimes the percentage of in- j
j crease U much greater. Nor is this morxl '
detei ioration due to foreign elements in the
population. Less than one-fifth of the con- .
: vu-ts now serving terms at Themaston are
; foreigners. Almost two-thirds of these eon
i victs uie not only natives of the United
j St.ite, but also natives of Maine.
I What does this import? Maine i the
State where the policy of prohibiting bv law
i the sale of intoxicating liquors has had the
fairest and fullest trial that it has ever had i
in the world. From time to time, for mor?
than twenty-five years, the prohibitory stat
ute have been remodelled nd renewed,
but never repealed severe at their mildest
and almost intolerable in their strictest
forms.
The fne great argument In favor of pro-
hihitorv legislation has been that drink is
- . . . . , . ...
tne lounTain lieau ol crime, anil tnat ;f it be
l made difficult, or impos-xuiie. to procure alco
' hoi crime will be diminished and society
! benefited.
Only from this point of view-can prohibi-
tory enactments 1 justified at. all in a conn-
try where sumptuary laws are held to heodi-
ous. and w here any restraint upon the person-
al freedom of the citizen is resisted lo the
utmost.
Would it be fair or logical to conclude that
this tren endous increase in tlie amount of
; crime in Maine, coinciding as it .'ces xilh
; the period during which lh prohibition has
; been the policy of the State, is the result of
that policy? Probably not. Hut it is fair to
I conclude that the system has failed in its
I chief nh'eot, whiie its practical results have
j proved the fallacy of the only excuse for the
. experiment. A. '. .Sun.

of having committed a series of robberies in

j arose. Watch was kept by officers in dis
guise. Miss Albright was seen entering the
i cnurcn at onu Hours wun a basket. She was
stronglr suspected, and, after leaving the
church on Friday, was arrested and taken to
the Central police station, where she was
searched. Coin that had been marked by
the officers and Father Poniemann were
found in her pocket, with a number of un
opened eontiibution envelopes, also contain- A gentleman who has tested the invalu

fused to acknowledge anything. Secreted in
a false pocket under her dress was a hunch
of false keys, one of which was of very pe
culiar shape. That key opened the boxes.
The original was specially made for the
church. The false key was made by an ex
pert niechanic.'bnt Miss Albright refuses to
tell who lie is. It is believed that a suitor of
hersisa partner in the crime, and that the
large sums stolen by the woman were divid
ed between them. Miss Albright is an intel
ligent woman, good looking, and dresses
stylishly. Hie was locked up tor a hearing.

The-trial of D. It. Jones, secretary of
the Coal Miners' Association, which was in
progress at (ireepxlnirg for several days, was
concluded on Monday evening, the jury
bringine in a verdict of guilty In manner and
in form indicted. Hon. Mdgar Cowan, coun
sel for defence, delivered a masterly speech,
in the course of which he styled Secretary
Jones th Parnell of America", owing to the
similarity between the prosecutors of the two
men. The case has created great interest
throughout the country among members of
trades' unions on account of the broad piin
ciple involved, and it is Itelieved that the
convictiou will be ihe forerunner of prosecu
tions for conspiracy against the oflieers of
other leading trades' oreanirations whenever
opportunity shall present. The verdict is
regarded as a triumph of cpital over labor.
