By special invitation, one hundred and fifty members of the Legislature visited the State Hospital for the Insane, at Nonistovvn, on S.itnrday last. They were treated with great hospital-ity dur ing: their brief stay at the Hospital, and the only thing to be regretted is that they were not induced to remain there Irmanentiy. 5am "WitKESON, who claims to have loaned Henry Ward Beecher ten thous and dollard to enable him to complete his contract with the publishing house cf F.

Mitchell, the new Senator from this tate, is a profound and far-seeing statesman is made ier fectly mouift.st from the broad view he takes of the bargain entered into by his colleague, Don Cameron, with Mahone, who advocates the doctrine that the honor of a state consists in repudiating Ler publie debt. Mitchell says : "1 think that the action of Mahone means the dawning of a new and bright !ay for this country. It means the estab lishment of national, not sectional, par ties. The fetters have been broken and the apostle of a t.ew order of things has come forth.' Mitchell is undoubtedly a "brick." as is e ridentfroaj this opinion as ia an opinion. Col. Jdii.v M. Bowman, formerly of Johnstown, had, ns our readers are al ready aware, retired from the editorial management of the Everett 'rcy.t. the reason therefor, as assigned by the AI touna ', Wing that he is an outspoken Blaine man and a determined opponent of the Cameron machine. Cameron was losing his grip ou the radical press of this Congressional district and dea-per.'-.t'i measures had to be called into re quisition to slop the spirit of manhood and hidtpeiuloiiire that was making it Self f. R amoi.g the Republican masses. John Cessna and S.twart Elliott were equal tj the emergency in Bedford coun ty, and Bowman fell a victim to the de mands yf the iiiac'ine.

A, i-l jd.-t ns we anticipated, the appetite of members for this "iiand Book1' grows by what it feeds upon, for a joint roeolution wasof lered Lithe House not long since by a Democratic member authorizing the priDling of several thousand txtfj. copies for distribution. Tho niemler referred to served durirg the session two years a.o, and of course carried avsay his share of the plunder at that time in the shav-e cf thirty-three c. ts of the book, and although he has been, or will bp, loaded down with a likr- in-italment at th present session, he is still not satis-fif-d, but w;;:,?s the State to t i;,. Ptiion urn t)sa by incurring the expense of furnishii; hi:n and "l!;e rest of is' v illi several thousand extra coiii s. It is a iii-rt disgraceful business and has LctP.

Of tlie last named class Robert T. Lincoln promis es to be a sbi:i..ng example. When Gar field irr.-le l.iai Secretary of War, at tfie instance of Logan, of Illinois, his fitness fot the iH..-:tion. judging from the Re publican prtss. was made to rest on the fact that, ho was a sou of Abraham Lin coln. His fitness must be shown by his acts and by them alone, and cannot be presumed irorn his paternity, for scores of great men in all ages have been the fathers of blockhea Is. It ri now urcd in his behalf that Lincoln is older than Jefferson was when he wrote the Decla ration of Independence, and older than William 1'itt when he became Prime Minister of Lngland. A g.id many j men have been appointed to high oilic-es in this country r.id in England who ! were older thaa J Iferson or Pitt at the : Period of their lives referred to, but neither tin mantle of Jefferson nor that cf Pitt fell ur.o.i their Rlioiilders for all t!.at. If theft-publican pa.ersstop .las- ; toring youi!g Lincoln wiih their fulsome praise and let him s-verely alone, he i will perhap3 acquit himself creditably, j His ot:i;e is on-; that is not at all hard : to fill in time of peace, for James M. i Porter, of this Stale, a very able man, i who was War Minister about one ear under President Tyler, once stated to ; the writer thr.t thf post was a very easy ; one to till and didn't require any great amount of labor. ! To Don- Camfp.ot is given the credit or infamy, as the case may be. of lead ing Lilly Mahone into ihe Republican camp, and thus enabling Arthur, the Vice President, ko '.on i as parties are equally divided u; the Si-nate, to control by hta cr''lng vote tb? f t--of iiorntna tion and of all legislation.

Senator, in January of that year, nieetin? took place at Cameron's residence, in llarrisbnrg, at which were present Simon, his father, lying on ald either sick or feigning o be so, Don himself, John J.

Why this resolution was thus reported, if the committee gave any reason for its action, we know not, but we don't believe that a similar res- a-.a-.tas,t-a-,a-. Annt.1 r w M-tl1,l Iwi itn 1 .flull ct rtltl gled by a committee of any other legis- j excepting the Legislature of bigoted Rhode Island, in which a resolution of sympathy with Irish liberty recently met the 6ame fate a performance emi nently becoming a Slate in which an Irishman, a German, or any other for eign r, even though he fought bravely for the Unicn in the late civil war, is not permitted to vote without a landed qual iiicition. The Committee on Federal Relations in the SiateS-naie consists of four Republicans, tioo Democrats and a Greenback Democrat, as follows : Ilerr, Rep., of Dauphin county, chairmac ; Key-burn, Rep.. Philadelphia; Jones, Rep,, Philadelphia ; Everhart, Rep., Chester county ; Alexander, Dem., Cen- tie county; Gordon, Deni., Philadelphia, i and Nelson, G. D., (which is an abbre viation, not. of an o;Uh, but of Green back Democrat,) Wayne county. The passage of this resolution by the Legis lature, although it would neither alarm England nor materially benefit Ireland, would still show to the people of that op pressed country that Pennsylvania, like every other folate in the Union with the exception of Rhode Island, lias a becom ing sympathy forjjihe oppressions'if Ire land, whose patriotic sons have to free ly shed their blood on so many battle lields in defence of American liberty and the preservation of the American Uuiou. As far. back as l?j0, twenty years ago, when the Republican national con vention met at Chicago and nominated Abraham Lincoln for the Presidency, j lo!ygaay in Utah and slavery in the South ere denounced in the platform I then adopted as "twin relics of bar bar- ! ism." and ever since the war ':lo: ed in j ltio, and with its close an end was put J to fdaveiy, the Republican party at its j conventions, through its papers and by its stump orators, has been telling the j country that polygamy must go that a i crushing and tinai blow was about to be j struck for its complete extermination. But polygamy in Utah, notwithstanding j all these pledges ami promises of "the j party of great moral ideas," is to-day as j flourishing and vigorous as it was in j 1SC0. tit i 1 1 the country must be fooled j to tlie top of its bent, and Garfield now i proposes to play his part in the periodi cal farce of wiping out Moi monism. Governor Murray, of Utah, a Kentuck ian appointed by Hayes, and who in his official capacity decided a few weeks ago that Cannon, the Mormon delegate to Congress, was not elected because the Mormons practiced polygamy and there fore had no legal light to vote, and on that wonderful theory actually gave the Ck i IiL.i.aK: ui election to C-ii...ouV oppo nent, who did not receive a tithe of the vote cast Gov. Murray, we say, has been in Washington since Garfield's in auguration and has been assured by him, so his organs say, of "his determination to use ev. ry endeavor to suppress poiy gainv." Tins promise will answer iis purpose for the present and until it be comes necessary to reat it, and it will come to pa-s that under Garfield h lysiamy. always is tj 1', but never is sup pifssed.

So baid U. S. Senator Wm. Mahone, ! one day last week in his feeble attempts to parry the sledge-hammer blows dealt : him by Ben. Hiil, of (Jeorjtia. for the ' s'latneless sale of his vote to thp Repub- ' i trans in oruer to nnn'e inciii to oran- i?M the Senate ail control its .commit- ' tees. A Di mocrai don't object to this ' sort of an allusion to the war and the ; pari he took in it by an ex rebel, who, ; however mistaken, honestly believed he i was ri-ht. but it always acted on the Re- .' publicans in the House, when used ly a : Southern brigadier, like a red Hag on a j bull in the Spanish arena. The Repub- I Iicans have got over ail that now, ami regard Mahone as a prodigal who ret urns ! to his father's house to partake of the i fatted calf in the sha;e ot certain offices ! for his friends in the Senate guaranteed by the RepuLbeat.s, and a rich share of ' the Federal patronage in Virginia guar- ; ranteed by Garfield. The lb-publican ' party in the Senate is to-day absolutely powerless without the vote of this high ' priest of repudiation in Virginia. And yet that pa ty loudly prates almnt the sanctity of contracts and of the solemn i obligation resting ou a State to see that t hey are religiously complied with. Was j there ever such an exhibition of brazen ; hypocrisy ? Unfxflainabi.e Facts. Affairs do go , oddly in this world. The oilier day there ; was a railroad disns'er in New .Jersey, where by sevetal persons were badly hurt, but one : only, as it turned out, fatally. II- was a ; young man of Miigulariy industrious habits . and of a most unselfish character. T'pi -i his ' labors an aged lather, mother and two sis- i ters wholly depended for their support. It : was the ambition of this young m.ni to givw . to his mother a deed of the house which the family occupied. To this end he had lore- , gbin- marriage, and toiled early and late ; he j personally attended to the smallest house- ; Keeping details, managing them nil with the , most painstaking economy. The family i self had seen better days, and he was the last ; prop left. His mnnly and self sacrificing j spirit had gradually impressed itself on tl.e community in which he lived, that he was ; respectfully a id kindly legarded on every : hand. He had been in one place of service j and trust for eight years, and only life and , time seemed to be needed to enable him Sn- j ally to secure the end toward which ail his ' energies were bent. Weil, out of eight car- lends of passengers he wa the only one kill- i ed. Sitting on the scat with him at the time i of the crash was a nun who has said since tint he thought that he was ready to die and ' thaf no one would 4.ave suffered by his death, or, aci-oiitMig lo his own lierhaos excessive i iiMioesry, truss mm. To is man was not even i scratched, while his fellow occuoant of the. same seat, about whose life so many interests were linked, was so hurt about the" head that even his remarkable natural strength gave no hojie from the first that he would survive. Tibngs do go strangely in this world. A". T. Post. Or whatever the rest of the ilems may be composed in the bill to appropriate sjx thous and dollars for the expenses incurred in sup pressing the. lo.'us diploma foundries, we agree with the Harrishurg Patriot that there is no doubt of the Justice or propriety of pay big the. claims of the Philadelphia Record for $l,3:so.fi5. This m-Miey was advanced bv the Record io;the Stat- in'the course ot the pro secution ol bogus diploma manufacturers, and should be refunded without hesitation.

The colored Republicans of Maryland have recent'y shown signs of revolt from the authority of the'r white ruler-, owing to their not being accorded a full share of the Federal patronage of the State, and have de rtded to call a State convention on the 24'h Inst., st which it is proposed to reorganize the Republican party of the State from a colored standpoint.

S0W15O THE SEEDS OF LNBELIEP. The charges which were made against the female teacher in one of the Syilional High Schools of this city of denouncing tiie doc trines of the. Catholic Church and insulting Catholic chi.Urein, caused a little ripple of concern in Christian society, but the idea of a male teacher of a High t-chool telling his pupils that there are a great many things in the Biole that are not true, and especially throwing liouot upon the Mosaic account of the creation, thereby creating the impression in the liiiiios of tne hoy.i that tne bible is a fiction ami shaking their faith in all religion, is mure than the average Protestant wnt I submit to without protest. Boys, it is said, : aie leaving the Pnuadcqiliia iligli School I with weaki neu faith in the Bible, in ChriS- tiau teaching, and in everything else ( er j taming to the great hereafter. Tni insidi ; ous mode, of spreading unbelief has been gu j Ing or. in the liiuh School of this city lor , many years, and the iSoard of Kducalion j 6hould lose no time in putting a stop to such I wicked practices. It is an outrage upon the j religious people of lue city, whether Calho- lies, Prolestants or Jews, that the nuulic school system, supported as it is by revenues I derived from puolic taxation, should be ! made a vehicle lor assaults on the faith of i Catholics or any other de-nomination, as it j effects ali denominations alike. Complaints I li.ur !uni! been made of attacks by public school teachers, acting in their capacity as ! such, ti poll Catholicism. Such complaints, ' however, have thus lar been unheeded ; but ! now when High School teael.i rs are w icked J enough to led their pupils that "tne iiiole ! cui'.t lUiS hundred., uf untruths, and trial lite ; Mosaic account of the creation is nothing but a llliasy laa reverend i lotestait gen J tlemeli Mie e-ailistiy objecting to the sowing ot the seeds ot uiioclicl. 1 hey are at last revolting against a . stem l;c a: tempt of ; public school leaclieis lo unuci mine U.e re ; ii.idous belie! ol cniiiiieli committed to their j tutelage, and it is hih lime lor them to be ; doing so. 1'iofeSsor Houston, auanist houi l these striolis ciiames have been preferred, .' denies them, and Professor Richie, the I'res . ident ot the High School, is very indignant j that I lie- good li.uiii- of tne ir.sl itution snoiild ! be asancd.

A DlSORACEfXL PRESIDENTIAL ACT. President Garfield has repeated one of the most injudicious and unjustifiable acts of ! bis predecessor. A decent regard for public opinion and the interests of the public scr- vice should have led President Garfield to . ignore the contest to which the appointment I of Stanley Matthews by Mr. Hayes had piven rise by sending in the name of some purer man. What motives could have j prompted such an objectionable acton part j of Piesiitvnt Ga field is beyond comprehen sion. He has committed this shameful act I without any excuse and in tne face of an ex- fiessionor pubii? repugnance. The Supreme, tench has already lieen disgraced, and needs above all things to be purified. The renom ination of Stanley Matthews as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court by President Garfield Is, therefore, a nioet shameful aud disgraceful act. PARADE OF THE POLICE.

THE PRESIDENTIAL TRtBCTK OF ADMIRA TION. The Philadelphia Times, ia speaking of the W ite House boquet that imperial to kpn of the President's approval of Mahone's virtue, bay: "The-ill-natured might assume that the fragrance of the flowers was to serve as a deoderUer to the stench of the bo quet he sent to the Senate in the name of Stanley Matthews." It sajs further : ' If we couid but know the pen as of the noseaay we s! auld have better unc.erstood the. subtle chord of sympathy that thrills between the burly stalwart of ihe White House and the attenuated manikin who forms the majority of theSenate." The Timea ihen asks : 'Was It rosemary that made up :he blooming tri bute of Piesidential admiration? Had the White House flower-beds been turned into C ibbaae-plots, ns Democratic truglodites urg ed, what would the President have done to attest his grateful sense of Mahone's Demo cracy Piesideiit Garfield, having a histor ical bent, has revived the practice of royal and impel ial persons acknowledging the ser vice of their vassa!3 by gifts ot meda's and flowers. The President laid this delicate tiibnt" of his satisfaction aud approval to mark the reward of repudiation. THAT BASKET OF FLOWErtS. There is more in the bargain between the President and Mahone than tlie baifeet of flowers, but, after all, to use a Western phrase, Mr. Mahone, has "bitten off more thanheciui chaw." r.etwrea tiie Jealousy of the Virginia Republicans in and out of Congress, the hostility of Democrats in the Senate, and the scorn and contumely he must meet at the hands of tiis deceived con stituents at home, Mr. Mahone will rind to his sorrow that a -adjuster's life is not a happy one. Virginians have something to say and will insist on saving it. G. N. S. As Elopkmekt Fitraokuin'aiit. Some thirty miles from Kingston, N'.

Among the members of the latter is a bright and comely daughter not yet fourteen years of age. Living not far from the Snyder homestead Is a widower named Martin White. His occupation for some years past h-is been tlie doing of odd choies for the neighboring farmers. During the past winter he has been engaged consid- erably by Mr. !s-iyder. it was noticed that J he paid a great deal of tifer.tion to Emma, but little wjs thought or it owing to the dis- ; I parity of their ages, he being over six'v.
