COlViin " - " - EBENSBURC. PA., FRIDAY, - - - - APRIL 22, 1881. Benjamin Disraeli, otherwise known as Lord Beaeonsneld, the distinguished Eng lish statesman and author, died in London on Tuesday last, in the seventy -sixth year or his age . Rcthekkord B. Hates is putting in part of hl3 time writing letters to home of his ! ; doubting friends, in which he stoutiy asserts 1 that during the List three yearb of his term j he was a consistent total abstinence, man, f ud tbat he will continue to be so. It is very important that the country should he assur ed of all this. It is thought that the Legislature will nd-jon'-n finally or. Thursday, the IfUh of May. The session will then have lasted 134 dajs, and the general apportionment bill makes provision for paying the members for that length of time, but whether the State Treas urer will pay the m more than a thousand dol lars, the salary for 100 days, is a question which that officer will have to dispose of at the proper time. A prohibitory liciuor law is now pend ing in the North Carolina Legislature, and a colored member of that body, in a speech against the measure, has defined his position in language so plain that lie who runs may rend, and the wayfaring nun, though a fool, i cannot err therein. T.V. Stearns, who re cently returned from a Southern tour, ad dressed a temperance meeting one day last week in New York, in which he discussed "Temperance Education among the Fieed tnen," and related that the colored man re ferred to, in his speech before the Legisla ture, said : "What we want is more whiskey better whiskey and, above all else, cheap er whiskey." That is a brief platform, but it is very comprehensive, and covers a great deal of territory. Not yet two month President, and Gar field's party in open and shameless alliance with the chief of the repudiation gang in Virginia, in order to make Riddleberger, an other Virginia debt repudiator, an officer of the Senate : a mutiny in his cabinet, the ten ure of one of its members depending upon the confirmation or rejection by the Senate of the nomination of William E. Chand ler as Solicitor General ; the Republican press divided regarding his administration ; the Secretary of the Treasury ridiculed and laughed r.t for assuming to be a Congress un to himc!f, and the most eliiuen t Senator of his partv, with the first State in the Union at : his back, threatening an attack upon hiui and his policy. Such is Garfield's lame, im potant and inauspicious commencement of how not to be President. The Pittsburg Dltpnixh, thoroughly dis gusted w ith the bargain entered into between the Republican Senators and Mahone, tells John I. Mitchell, the colleague of Don Cam eron, that he (Mitchell) "Is the representa tive of independent and reputable Republi cans in Pennsylvania," and calls upon him to break from the "suicidal and senseless compact." Mitchell, however, wont "break" to any alarming extent, for Don Cameron took a lr.orgage on him as soon as he enter ed the Senate, and in an interview soon after with a newspaper reporter, he (Mitchell) said: "I think that the action of Mahone means the dawning of a new anit brighter day for this country." That is a sentiment that will forever etand la judgment against Johu I Mitchell, and at the same time ad mirably qualify him to be a fit co-laborer inthe Senate of a trading and unscrupulous politi cal trickUer like Don Cameron. Josevh Jonr.ENPEy, the Republican mem ber of Congress from the Petersburg (Vir ginia) district, in whi; h Mahon resides, call ed on Garfield tost Friday with a large dele gation fif Virginia Republicans, and insisted that only the regular Republican party should be recognized by the President in distribut ing Ids patronage in that State. Jorgensen, who has always advocated the payment of the State debt, told Mr. Garfield that t he Vir. ginia Republicans repudiated Mahone ami Riddleberger, ami that any attempt on his (Garfield's) pari to force an alliance with the Readjusters in that State would be fatal to the Republican party. Mahone is better appreciated by the Republican members of the Pennsylvania Legislature, and by Re publican papers like theJohnstown Tribune, than he is by the Republicans of Virginia, who despise him and all his crooked and dis honest ways. Rot.ek Shf.rhas, of Revolutionary fame, didn't look upon the wild hunt for office by United States Senators in behalf of their f riends in the same light that Conkling re gards it, but, on the contrary, believed that In the matter of appointments they would ris superior to "faction, intrigue or low ar tifice." Old John Adams having suggested that the time might come when Senators ! would treat appointi.tcnls just as Conkling is now treating Oat field's nomination of Judge Rolertson as the Collector of the Port of .New York, Sherman scouted the idea by writing as follows in answer thereto : Th Senator., from the provision mnIe fur their jo.polntment. will commonly he the mot rciccta l.le citizens in tTie. State Tit widom and prolir y snj superior to faction, iritriuo or low artifice to ehtnln appointments for their lrienl. ; am any at tempt ot that Hind would tier t my their reputation with a tree and enlightened people, and to frti trate the end they won id hnve In view.

I te well qualified for It. lest It should be s:ispe.-ted to proc. cd Irom partiality? Thr Johnstown Tribune in pronouncing a lengthy and high-sounding eulogy on Win. Mahone says : "His success virtually says to the young men, the new, fresh blood and brain of the South : Come to the front and assert your rights, in face of the sneers and scoffs of the wretched old regime that has ruled and ruined for so many years." In what does Mahone's "success," so pleasing to the Tribune, particularly consist? Sim ply in getting himself elected to the Senate of the United States by espousing the infamy of repudiating one-third of the public debt of Virginia. An honest Democratic Govern or, by the exercise of his veto power, pre vented Mahone from making his swindling project a "success," but it enabled him, nevertheless, to make his pursuit of office an entire "success." And this man this blat ent repudiator, who has attempted to dishon or and disgrace his native State is held up by the Tribune to the "young men, the new, fresh blood and brain of the South," as an example worthy of them to follow. And they are called upon by ifj editor to come to to the front and" assert their "rights" ( Ma hone's right of tepudiatian, we supp. -,e,) in the face of the sneers and scoffs of the wretched old regime that lias ruled and ruin ed for bo many years that is to say, the hlgh rniiKled sons of the "Old Dominion" whoare in favor of paying the debt of their State and preserving her credit unsullied. What 'rights," has Mahone ever insisted upon ex cept the right of secession and the right of repudiation ? And yet so loyal and so Re publican a paper as the T ribune holds up lit- tie Billy to the young men of the South as a bright exemplar worthy of all praise and of their special admiration. ' 'i"0'9 lrtst week-, when abill increasing the j pay of the members was under consideration, ! aa amendment to it was offered prohibiting I members from accepting railroad passes tin- ler penalty of a forfeituieof their seats, and , was defeate.l by a vote of 28 yeas to 'JO nays, j The same proposition, we have no doubt, ; would meet a similar fate if submitted to the j House at llarrisburg, for free passes over ; the Pennsylvania and other rail roads are re j garded by the members of the Legislature as ' a matter not of favor, but as a prescriptive light. It is true that a clans in the seven teenth article of the new constitution prohib its any rail road company from issuing free passes, and an act of assembly passed in 1874 prohibits their issue under a penalty of $100, . but as the Pennsylvania Railroad Company i lias never "accepted" the provisions of the ar j tide refered to the act of 1874 does not ap ! ply to said corporation, and it can, theft-fore, ' issue free passes at its pleasure. We regard ; it as absolutely true that free passes are a j blighting curse to the progress of proper and legitimate legislation at llarrisburg or elsc : where, and that they are the sole cause of i sessions being protracted to one hundred and j fifty days. The reasons in support of this are plain and self-evident. The besetting i sin of the present as well as of former Leg- islatures, is the practice of adjourning from Friday at noon until the following Monday evening, the session then held being simply a ; farce, thus practically reducing the session i during the week to three days instead of sis., 1 and as a necessary result working only half thetime they ought to work and far every day of which they are paid. Does any sane man believe that this Friday adjournment would take place if each member hadn't a free pass in Ins pocket to take him to Philadelphia, or wherever else he desires to go, without pay ing a copper for the ride? Two-thirds of the members can and do make more money at ten dollars a day than they could at home, and would stay at llarrisburg attending to the business for which they were ele cted, instead of seeking for "fresh fields ars.S pas tures new" by paying regular rail road fare. If there were no rail road passes, no man would ever see a session prolonged b.-yond one hundred days, for when a member's pay is suddenly stopped lie very naturally eon cl tides that it is time for him to turn his Iwk upon the capilol. .Slow as the process of legislation is under the new constitution compared to the much more rapid method in vogue before its adoption, still all neeessary business can be disposed of within a kin dred day if the members goto work in earn, est at the commencement of the session, ami never lose sight of tlseir duty until its anal close. The people are tired of prolonged seswons at an enormous expense, with so small an amount of r -ally beneficial legislation as-the ' , l"'1' - "ecessary to ormg ing one hundred clays with all the neces-ary bills disposed of. In the first place, prevent members by an iron clad statute front accept ing free passes, and fix their salaries at one thousand dollars a session, whether lon: r short. A .m'ptciai. apportionment bill was report ed in the State Senate towards tlie close of last week, which afterwards passed that body on first reading. Ry this bill Cambria and Blair are each elected into separate districts, and Huntingdon, which has not the requisite population tinder the constitution to entitle it to elect a separate Judge, is connected with Perry county in forming a new district. The voters of this county will, therefore, be called upon at the next November election j to choose a President Judge, whose juris diction will be confined to Cambria alone, and after ihe next December term of Court the office of Associate Judges ir. this county will cease to exist. We have always believed that the constitutional convention committed a very great mistake in declaring that w hen a county reached a population of forty :koix ami it should be entitled to a President Judge of its own. In our judgment, a population of at least eights, if not out 'i;lrcl thousand, ought to have been required. Take Cambria, with a population of 47,000, as an illustration. The average time occupied at each, of the ci'jht weeks of Court held in a year has not exceeded, except in a few instances, three days, so that a Judge occupies the bench about tv:euti oxtr, or, at the most, not over thirt'j-icio days in a year. Cambria and " IJIair counties contain just about one bun. died thousand inhabitants, and who will say that Judge Dean, or any other man of his energy, ability and rare facility in trans acting business, could not easily perform the judicial labors of both counties, especially as he does that now with Huntingdon in audi tion. It cost the State last year ?34,0oo to pay the salaries of the Common Pleas Judges, and it w ill cost more hereafter, owing to the creation of new districts under the constitu tional provision to which we refer. State Senator Hall, of KIk county.one of the safest est men in that body, believes that a county ought to contain sirty thousand of a popula tion before it should be made a separate ju dicial district, and during the present session has introduced a constitutional amendment to that effect, w hich, of course, could only ef fect an apportionment in the future. While on this subject it is proper to ask why the Senate Committee in framing the bill erected Y arren county, with a ;)xpulatioii of only 27,!tl, into a separate district 1 lint is so cross a violation of the constitution that the i i esrislatuie ought to sec to it that it does not take place. 1 Thf Ii;ish Land Him.. The points of ' the Irish Land bill which reached us by ca , ble a few days ao referred almost exclusive 1 ly to the relations of landlord and tenant. ! Mr. Gladstone's speech, reported briefly on : Friday, shows that the remaining clauses, which are very numerou, cover nearly all . tlie causes of complaint, and if cordially ac ' cepted and honestly applied niiccht be niade ; to work satisfactorily alike to the Irish land- lords and the Irish people. Under this bill 1 there can be no arbitary eviction, and for fif ; teen years the tenan. cannot l9 disturbed in ; bis holding if be pa such rent as may be ; fixed by the Land Court and adjudged to be : fair according to the then condition of the . holding. At the end of fifteen years the I rent may be raised by agreement between : the landlord ami tenant, or it may be again fixed for a similar term of years by appeal to the Land Court. Failing its acceptance I by either party then, or at am time during j the existence of the lease, the tenant lias the I right to sell whatever interest he may have , in the property, in which case the landlord I has the preference in buying it back at tlie 1 price demanded, and which the Land Courts j may decide to be equitable and just. The j compensation for disturbance, which formed j a separate bill at the last session of Farlia i ment, and was thrown out by the House of ; Lords, is included in the new Land Dill. nother great feature of the bill is that it at- i tempts to establish among Irish tenant far- mers of all classes a proprietary interest in the land they cultivate by making advances 1 of Government money to buy lands from ! landlords desiring to sell, and to resell them I on long time and at a low rate of interest to I tenants who may wish to purchase them, the , Government retaining the title until the j money is repaid, and also providing acrainst j those infinite subdivisions of small holdings , that have been the bane of Irish agriculture. , Ot bur advances of money are projiosed by the j bill to be made to a limited extent toowners, ' tenants and corporations for the purpose of reclaiming waste lands or for agricultural I improvement. Resides these loans of money : to be expended in the manner stated in Irc- land itself, the bill provides for other sums or money to lie advanced to Colonial Govern ments or corporations to assist emigration. Such are the main features of the Land bill now before the House of Commons. They seem to be received generally with more favor than was expected. It des not appear j iiuin me unci reiunrKS niHde ny oir Stafford I Northcote, the Conservative leader in the j House, that the bill will meet from his party . associates in that body any factious opposi I tion, although it may te subjected as is 1 usually the caseto some amendments in ! committee ; while the onlv objection renort. ed to have been raised bv Mr. Parneii i that I tlie Land Commission to be'apnointed under i , lc ls "'. empower! ry it to purchase gt ,wnh the """fi"" 'K'"-- OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER.

Philadelphia, April 19, issi. ; On Friday hut, "Good Friday," business in Philadelphia was suspended" to a greater extent than for many years past. Throngs of people wended.their way to the respective churches, in all which services wei-eheld in keeping with the character of the day. The ! solemn event which nearly nineteen centuries I ago carried gloom into many hearts in Jem- j salem, was appropriately observed in tiiis city. In many churches of the various faiths the leaves and branches of trees were dis tributed to the worshippers, to put them in i mind of the welcome accorded our Saviour ny tlie Jerusalem multitude, and in token of the palm branches that were waved by the prcpie who met Jesnson his way from Beth lehem to Jerusalem. "Passion Week" is- the most interesting period in the history of our Lord and Snvio-ir. Monday and Tuesday n-as spent by Jesus with his disciples between Bethlehem s?vd Jer usalem, and in the teniae. Wednesday He spent in retirement. TharMay is embalmed in the Chfw h Calender as "Holy Thursday," while Friii'rsr was the day 1 crucifixion, and is known throughout Christendom as "Gmd Friday." Saturday nvas a day of clooni among the frilowefs of Jesi.-, but with t;-e dawn of Easter Sunday earner life ami light and gladness, ,-?Il of wiiich have been hamlco? down to the present generat-ons to make Easter Sunday what :t is. The rising of Jesus Christ . frorn the dead at ciice became the corner-stone r f the Christian Aiith. Eas ter is the day set apart bv a majority of the various branches ri the Christian Church to commemorate the risinji of Chrisf from the dead. The resurrection of our Saviour at once turned the gloom of the disciples into joy. The sorrowing hearts of tile cfiseiplea were gladdened with celestial perree and comfort when they learned that the L.rd had risen. Easter commemorates the glorv of the victory which the Galliean won for i.s and all mankind. It beca.ne a customary mode of salutation for one Christian, on inPting another, to say: "The Lord is risen," and the other to respond : "The Lord is rise l in deed." One day last week in n conversation wi'h a gentleman on the subject of ttie great prepa rations that were being made for the Feast of Easter, he asked the fallowing question : by is it that so many pe,-iple observe Faster Iaj 7 What does Faster Pay commemorate '.' Why does it come in different months in d.f ferent years, and particularly what have eggs to do with it :' As there? r.iav be others wl.o would propound such intcrfofafovies. whi?p on the subject I w ill, throt eh the columns t the f rff.man, as far as I am competent to do so, answer them. First, Faster Day com memorates the rising of t.wr Lord and Sa viour Jesus Christ, who wrvs crucified bv or der of Pontius Pilate, the. Roman Emperor or Procurator of Judea, in the vear of our Lord 33 of the Christian Era. oa the day which is kept as Good Frid.iy. On that da" Jesus was laid in the sepulchre, just outside of the walls of Jerusalem. A great stone was placed against the door of the sepulchre, and a guard of lloman soldiers set to watch it, inasmuch as it had been prophesied that Jesus would rise again on tlte third day. But human preparations vere as naught in the face of Divine Omni cence, for on the tbird day f Sunday ), the fir' day of the week, when the two Marys cinie to visit the sepal chre, the stone wa found rolled away ami the body of Jesus gone. Sosn nfter. however, Jesus appeared to the Marys and declared his personality, an. 1 explained to them bow he had lisen from the dead. Thus does Eas ter Day, the first Sunday :.;' er ' iood Friday, commemorate the rising of Christ from ti: dead. During the first, second and third centuries there were dissensions ;vs to the day upon which the Piueha! or Faster feast should be held. During the four.h century, in 'ae year .'U.", the ( 'ounei! of Nice decide'il that the Fastei feast should be V.upt on the first Sun day after the 1'lM of March. This, then, is why Ea-ter Day conies on different d-ajs of the month and in different months in d:;ter ent year;. Ic may eo- .e as early as th L-i'd of March or as late as t e J.".t li of April. . Uir correspondent will l.uve to do lx-tter than that. If Faster Sun.ay is the first Sunday after the L'J.i of March, it is not so much of a movable teast as he makes it. and there fore cannot, occur en the 2'd of Ma-.cli or on any other day beyond the 'sth of that month. El. 1 The use of the egg as an Easter emblem is of ancient usige and its signifies n.-e is the idea of life out Of death : or. in her words, life out of the absence of life. Thus it is with the bunion body. In tho grave it has no life, yet it contains the germ of immortal ity, and it is the doctrine 'of the Christian Church that t'n due time it will be resurrect ed into iife everlasting. S h is the signifi cance of tlie egg as connected with Easter. The word Easter i derived from the Saxon, and refers to the ri-ingf Chi ist front the dead. With all or nearly all professing Chiistians the resurrection of Christ from the grave is accepted as the ground for hope that the bodies Gf helievers shall in like man ner he raised from death and enter on a new existence in a land, of sinless joy anil unfad ing beauty. THE JEWI-Jff IWSsrtYF.H. The festival of the Jewish Passover com menced 011 Thursday and will continue for e:ght days. As Christian men and women are celebrating their deliverance from spirit ual bondage, so are the Jews chservm" the escape of their ancestors from physical bond age or oppression. The thanks" of the He brew worshipper are going up for the deliv erance of their people from the thraldom of Kgypt. A SI IIKFITFI) MF.TISOrOl.IS. Pesides its sickeng surfeit of oil and soap. T'liiladelphii has been having a surfeit of Forepaugh and Harnum. Notonly are whole paees of our crack newspapers filled with oil and soap literature, but also are whole pages being devoted to disgusting show literature. Truly indeed are the newspaper readers of Philadelphia having their niiuds kept on St. Jaeol;. Frank Siddall, Adam Forepaugh and I. I. Harimm. There is nothing so inspir ing to PhiladelpliUns as a long line of guild cd wagons, waving banners and spangled equestrians. Immense thronirs of our citi zens from every walk of life, idle away many hotirs along the streets to get a peep at a retinue of courtiers in spancrles. Meantime a lively controversy has been kept up be tween Forepaugh's and Uarmini's advertis ing agents. Our whole city is deluged with bandbil!s,placards and other devices. There has been a scandalous waste of printers' ink and paper. The war between Forepaugli and Itanium at onetime looked ominous and portentious, mixed up as it was with a won derful amount of circus thunder. Happily, however, the thunder is ceasing and the loiid mutterings of war are becoming less fright ful, the stock of printers' ink evidently being nearly exhausted. A NEW LKOISI.ATIV E COMMANDMENT.

IKICTORS VS. DRVOOISTS. A fierce war is being waged between the doctors and the druggists. The doctors place the druggists in the category of "beats," and the druggists place the doctors in the cate gory of "killers." The general impression is that both parties are properly placed. The druggists rashly declare that there are too many doctors now, and that instead of graduating more it would be better to cut them up on their own dissecting tables and the doctors wickedly retort, by declaring that the druggists should be pounded by their own pestels or poisoned by their own stinking drugs. In this fight between the physicians and apothecaries the public feels pretty much as did that historical wife when her husband and the bear had the little "on pleasantness." g.

Stewart is suing, at Shelby ville, Ind., for a divorce from his wife, on the ground of cruel and inhuman treatment. Having a large practice, be is frequently called out. at night. His wife, being jealous, refused to believe that all his absence from her w ere professional, and demanded that hn should stay in of nights. He said that his patients would not stand neglect. Then she adopted the plan of taking poison whenever he had a night, call, thus compelling him to remain and doctor her. She swallowed a deadly drug in this way several times, and her lile was saved with difficulty. The hus band claims that such conduct is just cause for divorce.

Who wants t read about muslins? yet you had better know how, by a And little crooKeuness in dealing, iney are made to bring an extra price, even in houses that ought to te above crookedness of any sort. Take an example : Wamsutta is branded, part of it Wamsutta. and part of it w ith the merchant's name. That branded Wamsutta is sold at the current market price, and the other is sold for an extra price, and the sales men ar instructed to sell as little as they can of the genuine, and as much as the can of the other. The practice, we are sorrv to say, prevails in some large houses here iii Philadelphia. If you find that a merchant considers such dealing fair, perhaps von will look out for him in other goods as well as muslins We have everything in muslins that is wanted here : everything is branded w ith the name of the mill that made it : and every thing is sold at the bottom of the market.
