J' ! EBENSBURC. PA., FRIDAY, ---- APRIL 8, 1881. (1 aefield's administration is one month and four days old, and stiil it is an open qnes tion as to who will be President, trarfield or Conkling. General Patrick, Governor of the Sol diers' Home, Dayton, Ohio, has refused to permit James Redpath to lecture and organ ize a branch of the Land League at that In stitution. In view of this fact, wouldn't it be well for the "Governor" to have his name changed from General Patrick to General English? The Democrats elected their candidates for Mayor in Cincinnati and Columbus on Monday last, and ttie Democrats of Chicago did likewise on Tuesday. How quickly and full of life the Democratic party jumps to its fert, after the Republican editors have amused their readers by writingand publish ing accounts of its death a:iU burial V It is estimated that the u.nn'icr of licenced l.ot-ls and restaurants in this State is less by one thousand than it was a year ago a fact which Is heralded abroad as a notable victo ry for the cause of temperance. If this re duction is due to a corresponding reduction in the number of imbibers, then the claim U well grounded : but if it is due to any other cause, and we certainly have no assurance that the persons who patronized those places which were but are not have censed to In dulge in a "social glass," we hope to be ex cused fur declining to take any great amount of stock in the so-called tempe-raiiee victory. The Washington correspondent. f;f the Philadelphia .Sri.-, a Republican j.a per, speak ing of how much theSetia'e misses such men aaThurman, Wallace, McDonald and l'inck ney White, s.ivs of Mr. Wahace : "No man left the Senate with greater re spett entertained f,.r Mm as to his qualities as a gentleman, his attainments as a legisla tor, and his ability ;b a man. In his six years of service, w hile lie tool; a prominent part in all the hupuit.in: questions before the body, and was always positive in bis party fealty, he made no'enemies and con stantly maintiiineil the respect of all. And eofar as Venn) Ivania is concerned, she never hid a man in 'the Senate truer to her inter ests." Wk expressed the opinion last week thai State Senator Xorris would probably take a rest during the balance of the session so far as lej-.ishiii.iu in the interest of the National Guard was concerned, but instead of doing o he straightway offered a bill which pro vides for a Signal C'.Tps to be attached to each division of the Guard, to consist of three officers arid eight privates, who sha.l receive the pay and emoluments of cavalry officers and privates. If Xorris keeps "pegging away" at this business, us he iimtoalitedly will, the National Guard will have a very long tail to its kite by the time he gets in all his work. Thi; unaniu.ous verdict of those who lis tened last week to Ilii.y Mahone's three hours' speech in the Senate in defence of himself generally, a.td especially of liiddle berger, his candidate for Scrgeant-at-Arms of that body, was tiiat there was ' too much Ridiliebergcr" in it. The Senate o! the Uni ted States was never before disgraced by one of its meiubeis standing up nnd defending his conduct hi urging the people of his state to repudiate one-third it" its public dt bt, while his principal o-laboiei in the work t f infamy, Riddlcberger, s.it.by his side hand ing him the references upon which he relied to sustain his pets, with the Republicans ap provingly looki.og on nnd prepared by their votes at the proper time, if it ever comes, to put Rid llcberger into the second most prom inent ohi-e in the Senate. Take it all in all, "it was in truth a svi ry sight to see." Whkn' tl.o V. S. Senate proceeds to elect new ofiiceis. if it g. ts to that point during the present executive so-sion, it is sal ! to be the Intention of the Democrats to nominate some pi'.nili; :-:il and wt li knywii Colon sol dier. iM.o.ih 1- (., ner.il Avtiill, for Sergeant-ftt-.riua.

THE proposed amendment to the constitu tion forever prohibiting within this common wealth, except f r medicinal, mechanical and 1 scientific purpose, the manufacture am! sale f all intoxicating li'vtors, pas i d the House at Hirri-biirg on '1 liur.-d;iyof last week by a vote of '. yens to ;;S nays sixty-fire mem bers not having the courage to put them selves on rcconl. The same amendment came up again in the House on last Tuesday i evening on its final p.iae, anil was agreed to by a vote of lit! vens to r.'J nays, thirty thne members refusing to face the muMo. If the amendment passes the Senate, it must before it can become a part of the constitu tion, pass both branches of the Legislature at the session of ls-st, and at the November election in that year be submitted to a vote of the people for their ratification or rejec tion. It will thus be seen that the amend ment ha yet to pass through several si. ores before it can become operative as a consti tutional barrier to intemperance. Our views on this subject are now what they have al ways been, and that is, that human nature mu'-t be reconstructed before men can be legislated into sobriety either by an act of Assembly.or bvthe more' vigorous and sweep ing process of a constitutional amendment, with all the legislative penalties to enforce it that human ingenuity can devise. "Liixt. R. M. P.EKKT, United States Navy, has been ordered to command the steamer Mary and Helen," says a Washing ton dispateb. About two years ago, Ilennett, of the New Verk Herald, who delights in creating sensation with him-e!f fis the prominent aetoi, pun ha-ed and fitted out a vessel which lie railed the Jeannette, after his sister, and the Secretary of the Navv, having detailed Lieut. De Long to take com mand, the Jeannette sailed from San Fran risco for the Arctic regions. Nothing has evrieen h ar 1 from her since, and Congress at its lat session appropriated ?170,00 to purchase arid equip a vessel to go iu search of the missing steamer. The Mary and Hel en 1ms been bought and properly fitted out at Sa;i Francisco for the cruise, and Lieut. Perry has been piaeed in command. We dim ply mention these facts now so that when Congress kt i-s session in i,s:j js asked to In vest anoth-r c17.j,oo) of the public money to purchase and fit out another vessel, as it most probably will be, to hunt up Lieuten ant IWiy and Am "Mary and Helen," our readers will recollect what we are now writ ing and why the request is made. It is about time that the government should stop em barking in useless, datigcious and enormous ly expensive expeditions to the frozen nnd t ?v pcTe. A bill has been reported favorably in the State Senate fixing the salaries of members of the Legislature at f 1,000 for regular ses sions not exceeding one hundred days, fl, COO for regular sessions oerr one hundred days, atid 91,000 for extra sessions. This means, of course, that the members are de termined upon getting ont of the State treas ury f l.floo each, notwithstanding the opinion of the Attorney General that the salary for a session, long or short, must be limited to 1 1,000. Suppose this bill passes and the Leg islature adjourns at the end of one hundred and fen days, would the members, in addi tion to 1,000 to which they are now entitled for one hundred days, put in their pockets $00 for the extra ten days? And yet the act would give them f."k0 each if the session lasted only one day over one hundred instead of fen. The Congressional salary grab strew ed the political pathway with the corpses of a vast number of the men who voted for it, and the members of the present Legislature had better take warning from their fate. In their hostility to the Attorney Genera! they may rush into the opposite extreme and just ly incur the stern vengeance of their constitu ents. They all want to put in ISO days at ?!0 per day. Let them do it, and in the meantime pass the bill now iu the Senate giving the Dauphin County Court jurisdic tion over State officers in mandamus proceed ings, which will enable them to reach the State. Treasurer and test the som.dness of the Attorney General's opinion before the Supreme Court. If they have the right side of the case they wi'-l get all they are entitled to under the act of 174 in excess of 51, 000, and if the Supreme Court decides against them they ouaht forever to hold their peace. The question of per diem pay for time con sumed iieyond one hundred days having now been raised, it ouuht for future cuidance be disposed of by the proper leual tribunal. In that way there will be peace, but iu no other. i Ten thousand utru copies of Snnill's ' Hand ihok is what the members of the pre ! sent "reform" Legislature are now after j and mean to have if they know themselves and they think they do. This w it I yive each . member j-r'.y conies, and as he is entitled ' under existing laws to copies, those mein i beis who came in at the present session will ! get 7is copies, while those who" served two years ago and were re-elected will get lOti ' copies. When this monstrous swindle was before the House the other day on second j reading, a progressive statesman from Wash : ing county, named liiHingsley, had the cheek j to say that the books were for the people, ! that the State ought to pay for them, and for his part he proposed to get all the books he ; could at the expense of the State. A Re- douin Arab whose conception ot the. differ ence between mtitm and tuum is pioverbial ly cloudy, could not have made a bolder plea in defense of his natural right to pluiul derlhan Rillingsley has done in this Instance. If the tate ought to pay for Hand Rooks for the people, as he insists, can Ciilin'.'sley tell the House why the State ouuht not to pay for hoi.t or lints, or coalf, and deliver them to hiai for distribution among his wool-growing constituents ? The fraud on the treasury ia both cases would be precisely the same. This joint resolution for ten thousand extra copies of the Hand Rook will of course pass both Houses, for the yearning thi-.t a Penn sylvania Legislature for eight years has had, a'nl still has, for John A. Smull's compilation at the espense of th suite, is as strong as the love of a Dutchman for sauer-kiaut, of an Irishman for potatoes, or a Welshman for cheese. Nothing but a constitutional amend ment will ever just a stop to this book gra'o inir tiv the Legislature, which is growing moie ihmraut at every succeeding session. ! In regard to the constitutional amendment "Which passed the House at Harrisbnrg last week on second reading, prohibiting forever the manufacture and sale in this State of in toxicating liquors, except fur medicinal, !ie- . ci.anic;il and scientific purposes, the Phila delphia Il'-rord says : ,It is to be hoped that the proposition to submit to popular vote an amendment to the Constitution prohibiting forever the manu facture and sale in Pennsylvania of intoxi- eating liquots, except for mechanical, medi- ; eal and scientific put poses, which passed the Ib'cS on second reading on Thursday ninht, nay he voted down at a later stage. In the first place, legislation of this kind shon!d hot l e shirked oy the Legislature. The experi ment has recently been tried, and the poopic have deei.ted auainst if. Why should not the friend of prohibit innbe satisi'icd'with the verdict? !t was never intended that one l:a:f of the population of the Stat..-should, by any means, . ,io!c to tyrannize over the e.thei had' in the metter of eatinti and drink ing. Ptoiiibirion is a ridiculous failure in -the States whicn have undei taken to enforce it, preobelv as religion is where it is made r.o' a matter of choice but of statutory e.bii- , g.i: ori. It may b- that the movement nt Jtarrisliuig is noMdng more than an orcaniz- , od r;:'"' l'lC nockcts it persons Interested in making and selling spirituous and malt liquors. In this, or in any other aspect of the case, the agitation is niisehievious. The aim of legislation should be to so restrict the liquor trathe w ithin safe bounds as to reme dy its evils. A proper system of license and lumper legislation to punish drunkenness are the obvious means of improvement. The true friends of temperom e have these ob- : jocts at heart, and have little .sympathy with ( the headlong zealotry which undertakes to ; m.ike men moral by restrictive legislation. j A bill is now pending in the State Senate fixing the salaries of the Judges of the Su preme Couj t at f s.Soo for the Chief Justice, anil ?s,oo0 for each Associate Justice. The ' fact that such a bill is before the Senate re- ; minds us of another fact, and that is that al though the new constitution, which went in- 1 to effect on the first day of January, 1S74, imposed upon the l egislature of that year the duty of fixing the salaries of all the Judges in the State, it has failed from that time up to the present, a period of e'mht years, to do so. It is true that an attempt to discharge this constitutional obligation has been made at almost every session, but the effort has uniformly failed, thus leaving the salaries of the Judges just as they were before the constitution was adopted. To an ordinary mind il would not seem a very dif ficult thing for the Legislature to determine how much the Judges of ttie different Courts shall be paid, but the discreditable fact re mains that it has thus far shown itself un equal to the task. Nor, so far as we have observed, has any movement been made dining the present session to dispose of the vexed question, except as regards the Judges of the Supreme Court. We think it very certain that the Legislature of no other of the thirty-eight States would permit a plain and positive constitutional duty to remain so long unperformed. The anti-machine memlers of the Legislature- Wolfe, Mapos, Kauffman, Stewart, nnd the rest of them who claimed the elec ' tion to the Senate of John I. Mitchell as a victory over the Cameron clan are begin ning to find out just what kind of a man Mitchell is likely to prove himseif to be. Wliea Voorheos, of Indiana, in a speech in the Senate on Friday last, read an article from the Philadelphia Tflcgrnph, an inde pendent Republican paper, denouncing the bargain between Mahone and the Republi cans in the Senate as disgraceful and cor rupt, Mitchell in a few remarks substantial ly read the Telt ymph nil t ot the Republican party, or rather denied that it ever was a ': Republican paper. When it is remembered i that the Telegraph vigorously supported the i bolters against Cameron's man, Oliver, as ; well as against Reaver, and did its full share ; iu defeating Cameron's plans, Mr, Wolfe and the "independent Republicans," as they ; were pleased to call themselves, will not be long in coming to the conclusion that in their I glorification over Mitchell's election they were considerably preuir.ture, and that bs a ' twit i or t !c"v w f re biHfv ic'A. The I leal Cat or Tradltlou. The Kw York TVorM'of Sunday introdu ces r cat to Its readers that devotes her days to the development and education of succes sive broods of chickens.

The other chicks wore frettinK noisy by this tune, and one by one they were brought Into the nest as the tirrt had bcn.

The LKcisi.ATtr.K's The. Since the At- : torncy Ceneral has taken such particular care to force the looislators to give up part of their salary, the lerjisttors think it no ; more than fair, says the llarrisburg Patriot, to retaliate in the same coin, and they are preparing to do this in a veiy energetic way. Setiatur Laird, of Westmoreland, has in troduced a bill providing fur the punishment ; of the State Treasurer and Auditor ( ieuoral if they should allow the Attorney General ' more than the salary of S.ViOO a year, which . the law gives him for his services as Attor- i ney General in addition to fees, not exceed- ing 87,000 annually, arising from the collee- ' tion of commonwealth claims upon which he ' is allowed five per cent, for collection. Since j his appointment Mr. Valmer's fees have ag- i creuated twice the amount of his salary, and Senator Laird has determined that this thing shall net occur atrain if he can help it. ' The constitution may interfere a little with the proposed reduction, as one of its provis ions sets forth that neither the salary or fees of a public officer shall be increased or dim inished during the time for which he may be elected or appointed. Senator Norris" bill fixintj the salary of members of the Legislature at $1,500 for each regular session exceeding loo days, was reported in the Senate on Friday, as was an nounced in Saturday's edition, and had the effect of brightening "up the crave countenan ces of the Senators. The proposition makes it possible for members to obtain ?."o0 for one day's services and lo ks like more retal iation on the At'orney General. The com mittee which prepared the bill had before it a suggestion that for ?l,."on the members re main in session lost days, but it was not fa vorably entertained. There is no doubt that , the Governor's assurances ha'-e led to the ; preparation of this relief measure, but it is j feared that the Attorney Genera! may decide : that it cannot constitutionally be made to j apply to the present legislature. A KiNnTlEVTiTF.n Cat. A tabby cat on i State street has recently so distinguished itself by committing an unnatural act as to merit newspaper mention. Some days ago, as is not at all remarkable, puss ushered itito the world, for the purpose of joining the nocturnal tormentors whose census has nev- ! er leen taken, a nestful of lively kittens. ! These, however, were soon destroyed by a ! memoer of the household, and the bereaved ! mother was thereby thrown into a "green and yollow melancholy." Rut this state of ! feelings lasted a very short time. Tabby de- ! termined to supply her loss in some way, i which she did in a very novel and unnatural manner. It appears that a short time after , the drowning ot her kittens a member of the , family had occasion to co to a certain room i in the second story of the house, and that there, in a snug littie bed made for herself, i lay tabby in a comfortable position, while a i large rat was eagerly accepting of the offices ; which nature designed for the drowned kit- ; tens. In this position lay the rat and its fns- ter mother natural enemies as to genus and j species in the most complete contentment, i the cat purring loudly nnd the rat evidently . pleased with its condition of adoption. Rut i the whole thing was too unnatural for the i on looker, and it was a very short time be- tote puss wmss iikhmi iiia.ie a ion wannerer upon the. hrtif?c tops. 'ov'rr?"n (Pat.)

What everybody buys is certain to be a gofd thin somehow. The way de beigis are good is this : the money goes all for use and none for show ; or rather none for that kind of show which limits use. Why, last spring we bought in one lot of ?o'J,000 worth of debeiges and have been buying in debeiges ever since. And now we have mure debeigea than you will lo..k at, all browns and grays ; and nearly all new. The prices are all the- way lrom 2") cents for 22 inch to ?1.10 for4'i-inch.

Three steamers have I been destroyed at Yankton. Advices from ! Bismarck, Dakota, report that the wnfoitu 1 nate people of M indan remained in that vil i lagf, having only a few boats. A steamer . tried to reach them, but was prevented by i the ice. Five men were rescued along the ; river, near Bismarck, by Mayor Peoples and ' another man, one of the saved being taken ; from a floating cake of ice. The losses ot ' cattle in Dakota are reported to be enormous. 1 Some twenty dogs, belonging to Sho Heel.

It was only hy . sourring his horse and riding for his lite that he escaped from them. He was pursued into the village, where the savage animals were frightened off by citizens, who came running nut of their houses witn guns and pistols, ' The dogs then t4ok to the wiods and for sev i eral nays caused havoc among all the horses and cattle they could lay hold of. The peo ple of Mioe Heel had finally to turn nnt n ! masse, with their firearms, and give a whole day to hunting the dogs down.

He took his three meals re- gularly, eating heartily of whatever had been prepared for the rest of ttie family. Most of theaime named he had slept. About thirteen years ago he got up from the bed he had occ. ipied for ten years and performed three years of hard labor, eating and sleep ing as other pe-ople. lie then went back to his bed and has never done a day's work since nor set up longer than to have his boil made and to eat his meals. A short time ago he was taken with paralysis and has taken no nourishment of any Wind except a small amount of water in which crackers had been soaked. At death his form was reduced to a mere skeleton. Jamestown (.V. ". ) Journal. Worth Kemembf.riso.
