EBEMSBURC. PA., FRIDAY, - - - - DEC. 1, 1882. Hon. Wm. D. "Wasiieur.n, a Repub lican mpraLfr cf. Congress from Minne sota, iu n recent nterview with a repor ter made the re mark that the "Republi can party is stf here." He might have gone a little t urther and aJded that it's the stillest U nng that is here. Thk La- acaster Xw Em, one of the ablest and most aggressive Independent Republic? lQ papers in the State, says : 'It Ioa .a a little as if Governor-elect Tattiwr j would go to Harrisburg in an ordinv ,y Car, and on a ticket paid for witli rnoney out of his own pocket. Tber j j3 an unusually healthy look about all b e has done so far. Let us hope he "Will keep it up to the end." The death on Monday last from con sumption of Col. Robert M. Gibsor., the well known JTittaburg lawyer, will cause a deep feeling of regret among his wide circle of friends. lie was fifty-eight years old, occupied a high position at the bar and possessed reto.irkabla and brilliant power as an advocate. He sprung from honest; poverty, was as gentle as a woman, but determined in his couTictions and was a true and geu ous friend. Tub Philadelphia H-'cord while it ad mits that Jacob Zeigler, of IJutlur, who Is a candidate for Speaker of the House at llarrisbi'.rg, "hasau unusually accur ate knowledge of parliamentary rules." aud that this "i3 an excellent thing so far as it goes," objects to him beet tine b his "a too accurate knowledge of llarrisburg crookedness." Our own opinion is that the Speakership i? the last place in the world for a man who bas uo knowledge of llarrisburg crook edness, and that to elect such a man to thr.t, position would be like putting a lamb on guard over a pack of wolves. Is one of his letters last week to the .New Yoik Sun, the Washington corres pondent of that paper refers to the fu ture of the Democratic party iu the fol lowing language, every word of w hich is literally true. "The future of the Democracy is now In the hands of a House of Representatives, and of Governors ncd Legislatures, whom the people havs put on trial for the second time In eight years. They nvo had no such opportunity in a quarter of a century. If thev are equal to It, and aiive to tlia reason- able demands of the country, any pnner candidate for the Presidency can be elected In 1SS1. If they fail a more vigorous organ ization will ucc.-ed to thU great opportunity and carry otf its honors and its rewards. No prophat is needed to make this plain predic tion." . Got. Sr. Jons', the fanatical Prohib ition Governor of Kansas, was defeated for re-election by Glick, the regular Democratic and anti-Prohibition candi date, by a majority of 8,042 on a full vote of the State, while all of the other Republican State candidates weie elec ted by a plurality of about thirty eight thousand, except Cube, the colored can didate for Supreme Auditor, whose plur ality wa3 only 20,000. Even in Kansas, once the home of old John Brown, where his soul is supposed to be alill "marching, on," the Republicans will not give their undivided support to a "man and brother" for an'.iniportant of fice and they play the same'game every where else. Tiiiktt years Aoo Thomas M. Wal ler thn "lit tl rri.int " a h ia mlld in ! Connecticut, of which State be was elected Governor on the 7th of Novem ber, was a poor, ragged newsboy in Xew York. A citlzenof New London, Con necticut, who met the boy iu'.NewYork, took him home with him, where he re ceived a fair education in the school of the town. He afterwards became a took canvasser, and accumulated mon py enough to enable bim to atndy law, And soon, occupied aplace,in the very iront rank of his profession, which be lias maintained up to the present time. .After his eliction as Governor he deliv ered a short speech to a very large !rowdof Democrats who serenaded him i n which, speaking of the victory, among other things he said : "It means that tle boy before me, into whose bright ej'es I am now looking, when he comes to jnanhood, if he has tho ambition aud bis' friends think the abilities, can be ele Cted, if he Las not a dollar, to the of- fice lof Governor by the unbought and one crruptod ballot of the voters." In this sentence the boy before him into who. ie bright eyes lie was looking was Tom Waller, the New York newsboy of thirty 'years ago. and the Governor was Thorn M. Waller, of to-day. All hon or to 1 ii. Waller and men like him w ho bars b ten the architects of their own fortune I. Con'of cess will meet on next Monday, and as 1 t will be what is called the "short se. ision." its deliberations must termiuate on the 4th of March. The Speaker h ving been elected and the standing c ammittees having been ap pointed a y lar ago, there will be no de lay in proc lediug at or.ee to business. It is said that a strong effort will bo made by leao'ling Democrats in both the Benate and House to dispense with tho usual two weaks' holiday rscess, and it ought to be done, but the custom ia so ancient that aoy attempt to abrogate it jwill most likely end in failure. The re--jx -al of the internal revenue tax laws pn imises to be the exciting question of tto session, and Judge Kelly, of I'hila ,de,'r. dia, commonly called "Fig Iron Kesl ?," who fills the responsible position of Ct airman of the Committee of Ways and leans in the House, avows hi3 set tled p urpose to insist upon their total repeal. It ia believed that Mr. Arthur, In l.iatn tssage and the Secretary of the Treasuij la l'9 report will recommend only a partial repeal of the tax on whis key and tcbacco, from which most of the Internal revenue is derived. If the tax Is not entirely abolished, it is certain that it will be greatly reduced. In view of the result of the resent elections, it is hardly probable that the Republican ma jority wiil put on any airs, or attempt any new experiments in legislation dur ing the se;-3io. MR. HLNSKL A.M REFORM. A few d.iys after the election, W. U. Hensel, ES'i., Ch.tiraim of the Demo cratic State Committee, in an interview with a reporter of the Philadelphia I'iiiu-s, published in our paper two weeks ac;o, referred at some length to certain reforms by the next Legislature which we propose to notice as briefly as possi ble. "The first caucus hell," s;iul Mr. Ileiisrl, "should be to determine not who shall fill the oIices appended to the Legislature, but how many of them can be abolished and then hejproceeded to I, ,,! unnecessary I spec-ny seveii u.-jvic - I offices that ought to bo done away with, j va cannot follow Mr. Ileuaeliu all that he said but if the Democratic members i tional illiteracy aud dividing thim ac . ' . , . .:,i nt- his a 1- i cording to nationality and color thes-i at their first caucus will act on h ad result3re obtaineil of native white8 vice, as given atove, iney wm uj n State an important service. I hat tnere are twice as many subordinate oiHcors in and about both brandies of the Leg islature as there ought to be, has, long been known, and now that the Demo crats will at least have control of the House, their duty is a plain one and can not and must not be evaded. Thousand of dollars are annually taken out of the treasury to furnish roosting places, as j Mr. Hensel says, for "bummers," and a j hospital for "decaying political loafers," j and all sinacures should be remorseless- j ly wiped out; all unnecessary clerkships w iped out and abolished, the salaries re duced to a fair compensation aud the pernicious system of voting themselves incidentals and contingents, to cover a multidude of steals, should be abandon ed." The taxpayers of the State will expect to nee Mr. Hensel's proposed re forms carried out, and if the Democrat ic majority fail to do so iu the face of all the promises made during tho recent campaign, they will be held to stern ac countability by their betrayed constitu ents. In the name interview Mr. Ilonsel made a centre shot when he said : "If the members of the L-jgislatura-e'ect will reject froe railroad passes and confine their traveling expen.es to their mileage money the sessions will be shorter and in stead of meeting on Tuesday evening and adjourning Friday afternoon they will earn their 110 a dav with six days" service iu the week." No man can tell the amount of money it has cost the people of the State on ac- j I count of members of the Legislature J j holding free railroad passes. It is sim- I j ply because they have th?m that they j really do not sit more than three days in a week,adjourning on Friday until Mou- j ! day evening, some going homo, but mo3t j of them going to Philadelphia. What pro i lonsrs the session to 150 days, or five months, when three outfit to be all suf- , ucicm r veuc ictni j.s cum ... salary act of 1S7-1 which entitles the members to receive ten dollars a, day for each day beyond one hundred, but not exceeding fifty. No Legislature since 174 has tailed to take advautage.of tho fifty day clause and probably no one ever will until the act is repealed and a specific sum fixed as the salary for a ses sion, without any regard as to its dura tion. Free- railroad passes furnish the other reason for a five months' session, because they save railroad fares, If there were no railroad passes in the pockets of members, thero would ba no induce ment to leave their business unattended every week from Friday uutil Monday, aud tho session would bo brought to a close at the end of one hundred days, as it ought to be, unless, for exceptional reasons. The action of the Democrats iu the next Legislature will be closely - j ...... 1 . nl'injn in t HQ ! scanned by the people and they will de- j termine whether t'aoir professions of re- ! trenchment and reform are sincere and real, or whether they are a sham, made only to deceive." The howlinif against Tattlson' Ideas Is becoming rather loud all aloug the Democrat ic line. Look out for a corner in the Ragging machinery. The Altoona Tribune of yesterday week, from which the above extract is taken, has taid substantially the same thing many a time since tho November election , It requires no special smart- I put such a paragraph on paper, ness to but as it don t contain out word of truth its conception does require a most vivid imaginatou. What does the Tribune mean by "Fattison's ideas?" One of expression is that ho desires a modest and inexpensive inauguration one that shall uot cost the State one dollar so far he is personally concerned. Has any Democrat, or, for that matter, any Re publican, teen "howling" against so timely and correct an idea as that ? j Another of "Fattison's ideas" is. as he j i,aa p;ajiy etated, that he has not selec ted his Secretary of the Common wealth or Attorney General, and that he will I not publicly announce their appointment before tho first of January. Has any Democrat or Democratic newspaper done any "howling" about that simple announcement V These are the only two ideas to which Mr. Pattison has given public expression since his elect ion, and they have met with hearty com mendation "all along the Democratic i line." It is possible, however, that in his inaugural address Mr. Pattison will likely take occasion to express some ad ditional ideas, at w hich even the Tribune with all its professions of fairness, will be inclined to do some "howling." In another column of our paper will be found the prospectus of the New York Sun for 1SS3. Every one who reads the .Sun will cheerfully admit that against a'l species of corruption and dis honesty in government, whether nation al, State or municipal, it is the sleepless and unrelenting foe, no matter what j party may happen to be in power. This j is its most distinguishing feature, and j the one that has givenifsuch'admitted I power from Maine to Oregon as a fear- j loss, independent and conservative jour- j i.ai. 2m o Higher tribute was ever paid to a newspaper than the declarations made a dav or two after tha late elee- tions by the notorious New Jersey Con- J 8'"MUlu- "ouesou, mat one oi the principal causes of his defeat was tho bittor opposition waged against him by the journal to which we refer.

Illiteracy lu the L'uited State. The United States boasts of the intel ligence of their people, and point with pride to the ample provision for the ed ucation of the children. The common school, however, is not universal in its ePVcts'in some localities are not yet ap parent. The census of 1W0 furnishes a view of the illiteracy of the whole coun try and locates the lights and shad-?s which d'Mio'e the prevalence of intelli gence or ignorance with startling accur acy. The statistics are basnd up n the total number of persons of thn acre of ten years aud upward. Of this class the areate. according to the census, was 3i5,7.ll,f.07. of whom 4,02:?. 41, or 13.4 .,f . , , ' , : r.-,,1 -.. li V,-t r'lM or 17 prfr cenl weTe ntliljle to write, Taking these that could not write as the basis for the calculations on the n.i- who couid not write there were 2.2", 450, or 8. 7 per cer.t. It will be observ ed that the colored illiterates comprise more than half of the whole number, al though the coloieJ population is only one-eighth, of the total population. With 70 per cent, of the colored pop ulation unable to write, It will be seen at once that the Southern States make a very poor showing in comparison with the North. Southern illiteracy is not however, confined to the colored people Of the native whites in Alabama 2 per cent, were thus illiterate. The average per centage of illiteracy among the na tive born whites of the Northern St ites is 3.2 per cent., while in the Southern States it is 21.2 per cant. Of the per centage of native born citizens who can not write, 8.1 per cent, being thus un fortunate, while Massachusetts is the lowest, only 7.10 of one per cent, of her natives being unable to write. Ot all classes who cannot write Alabama has the highest number according to popula tion, her percentage being 50.0, while Nebraska has the lowest, being 3.0 per cent. It will b" we'.i for the people of every State and Territory in the Union to li'.o away this suggestive bulletin and give some of its spare hours to its study. The illiterate S'atts n?ed to have the educa tional energies quickened by its perusal while the more intelligent will be given some points that may teach them where to look for the few scattering children within their borders who have thus far eluded the schoolmaster.

About a week after the recent election, when the Pullman cars destined for this city were detached at Harrisburg, a gentle man got in and took a seat beside a traveller from Nebraska. The latter, a few miies this side of Harrisburg, re marked: "We had a h I of a cyclone, didn't we ?" Tho Ilarrisburger, seem ingly oblivious to the rem irk, pulled out l.is watch and, carefully noting the time, said : "Wt) are going at a tremendous rate. I know this road, and wo have j ust made five miles in four minutes." '!''.. TIT . T iu SCi4,mi the n . and worse, II 1 broke loos3 on them this t ime ; don't you ttiitik so ?" "liy jingo," said the latter, "we will get to Washington oa lima if we keep on this way." The Nebraska man did not ssem to understand why hi3 fellow traveler showed no interest in the election but he prudently dropped the subject. Lauding in Washington on time, the Nebraska man immediately jumped out, aud call ing one of tho depot people, and point ing to his traveling companion, asked : "Who is that gentleman "r"1 aud re ceived the reply: 'Woy, that is Senator Don Cameron." "The mischief it is," 3 iid tho Nebras ka man, "T don't wonder he turned it oil." Wa-iiinjton Post. Sematou IIitchbll, of Penusylva nla, is afflicted with a sort of political independence not easily to be disting uished from tho chills and fevers of the Western swamps. Three weeks ago he was in a burning fever; now he is ex- i periencing a cold chill which causes his. knees to knockt ogether aud his teeth to chatter with the vehemence of castinets. Ho is of the opinion that it is quite pos sible to have too much of so good a thing as a war upon tho Cainerons and that it might be as well to halt and harmonize ere the young Senator is killed fatally dead, Tho impartial observer wiil per haps be a little puzzled to decide wheth er this magnanimity is inspired by the fact that Mr. Mitchell has ascertained the strength of the Catnerous and recog nized it, or by tho fact that the Camer nt) have ascertained the strength of Mr. Mitchell, and recognized him.

The chief task of the Labor Congress at Clevelan 1 at its flna! session on Fri day last, was receiving the report of the i Committee on Platform and adopting it with slight alterations. Too character of the document diilers littie from the oue adopted a year ago at, Pittsburgh, except that the piank favoring a protec tive tariff has been dropped out and nothing on that vrat inserted in its stead. The demand is made that all laws which make labor organizations conspiracies shall be abolished and that such unions shall be given the rights extended to other lawful organizations. It favors the passage of compulsory ed ucation laws, and would make it un lawful for children under fourteen years of age to be employed in factories, mills or in any capacity. It demands a uni form apprentice law. opposes convict labor, desires that the workingman shall Ve given a first lien on the product of his own industry, recommends a nation al bureau of labor s; a' is'.ics and asks woikingmeu everywhere to do all they can to secure for labor a proper repre sentation in all legislative bodies. Pittsburg Pust. Se.va.tor Call, of Florida, tells a pleasing story about the late election in that State, which gave an apparent majority to Bisbee, It 'publican, over Fiiiiey, Democrat. The law requires a I resideuce of twelve months in the State and of six months in the county for every voter, and this residence was to be proved, under a decision of the Re publican Suprema Couit, by the oath of the intending rosier. Only this and nothing more.
