II13 worst symptom is hia belief that he never can recover. After a speech in the House at Ilar Tlshuri? on last Monday night in favor of the anti-treating bill by Mr. Steven son, of Lawrence county, its author, the bill was defeated by a vote of yeas 55, nays, 00. Col. Vilas, the Postmaster General who controls the appointment of all Postmasters whose yearly pay is under onp thousand dollars, has put the ma chine in motion acd is grinding out new appointments as rapidly as he can con sider the cases. lie made seventy-two PC ointments on Saturday last and sixty -n Monday. "Now, by St. Paul, the w.x.kgoes bravely on." War has not yet been declaied be twi en England and Russia, ar.d wheth er Hi it last resort of nations as a meth od of settling their disputes will be ap pealed to, remaius yet to be seen. Rus sia seems to be spoiling for a fight, while Englaud, though apparently not afraid and full of bluster, will hesitate as long as she can before she lets slip the dogs of war. Durixo the late extra session of the Senate the President nominated a man named Magraw as Collector of Internal Revenue for West Virginia. lie wa3 recommended for the position by the en tile Democratic delegation of the State, but the Senate did not act on the nomi nation. The present incumbent is one McCormick, who, like most Republican office holders, thinks that the possession of an office gives him a right to a fee simple in it, and is said to be getting up charges to show that Magraw is not a fit person to be appointed. He even denies the right, it is said, of the Presi dent to remove him. All this is refresh ingly cool on the part of McCormick, but as the tenure of office act don't ap ply to Internal Revenue officers, Mc Cormick will be wakened up some day soon by a knowledge of the fact that he has been struck by a very large slice of the day of judgment, and he will then learn that the political world moves. r .resent indications eive assurance of a goodly fight at the Republican State Convention between those two well known bosses, Matthew S. Quay, of Beaver county, and Chris Magee, of Pittsburg. Quay arrived in Philadel phia on Sunaay last and forthwith an nounced himself a candidate for State Treasurer. Magee has been shaping matters for some time so as to bring about the nomination of James A. Mc Devitt, of Lancaster, for the same of fice. Quay and Magee who at one time were as thick a.? two thieves, to use a homely expression, do not now pull to gether, and as Quay says be has entered the fight to win, and Magee has staked bis political reputation upon his ability to nominate McDevitt, the contest promises to be exceedingiy interesting. "We knw a great deal about Quay and something about M.igee, and if the lat ter can put the former's scalp In his belt, his right to the title of "Rig In jin" of the Republican party in this Mate will not be questioned. We don't believe he can do it. Tun is the first day of" May, and we rhink it is the first time within the memory of the oldest man In the county hat up to this dale no Dexnocrat has publicly announced himself as a candi date for the Sheriff's office. Long be fore this time in former years when that office was to be filled, and sometimes ev en when the pleasant jingle of the sleigh bells was heard, the voters knew the names of all the candidates and were engaged in discussicg their respective merits and claims to party support. But bow different now with not a sicgle candidate yet in the field, so far at least as the public has oeen given to under stand. There is still, however, abund ance of time, and if this standing aloof niean3 that the primary election ought not to be held until a much later day than heretofore, then so much the bet ter. .Nominations made some time in August afford candidates ample time to do full justice to their canvass. Tak ing time by the forelock in making nom inations has nothing whatever to recom mend it, but on the coutrary every con sideration of sound party policy ought to discourage it. Two years ago the Legislature fai'ed to pass a bill then before it filing the salaties of county officers in seventeen counties Cambria being among them, containing a imputation of over forty and less than ."ixty thousand. A similar bill dividing the various counties of the State into classes, fixing the silaries of county officers and requiring the pay ment of the fees of such officers into the county treasuries, is pending in the Senate and has been discussed on two or three occasions. The last time the bill was before the Senate, which was on the 8th of April, it was so loaded down with amendments that its author didn't recognize his own child, and in sheer desperation moved a postponement of its further consideration. We learn from Ilarri.sburg that there is not much chance of the bill passing the rresent Legislature, and for that reason it would be a mere waste of time to state in detail the salaries which the bill pro- I poses to fix for county officers under the classification embracing Cambria. That the pay of county officers should be by salary and not by fees seems to be gen erally conceded, and why there should be any serious difficulty with the Legis lature in fixing their salaries in the dif ferent classes of counties is hard to un derstand. In this county the pay of the county offi.-'-rs under the present fee sv 1 1.1 is iio, more than it ought to be, v ;.u .It- exception of the County Trea iiier wnose percentage for several yr-ars vmiT tli net of Assembly regulating p.. Ins amounted to nearly Jour thou sand d dlars pnnual'.y, which is out of all proportion to the work he Is required to t"T? rrri At no time during the present session of the Legislature has the lower branch of that body shown such an utter and criminal indifference to the performance of the duties its members were sent to Harrisburg tc discharge,as it did on Fri day last. That is the day, as our read ers are aware, on which, under a cus tom of mauy years standing and as un alterable, as it would seem, as the laws of the Medes and Persians, the Legis lature adjourns from noon until the fol lowing Monday evening, thus practical ly reducing the sessions of each week to three days and a half, and always ren dering the Friday morning session an absolute farce. On the morning refer red to the bill appropriating one hun dred and sixty-eight thousand dollars to the State Lunatic Hospital at Norris town was before the House on second reading, and on an amendment being offered to one of the sections and the yeas and nays having been called, it ap peared that only nindy-three of the two huudred and one members responded to their names, which was d'jkt less than 101 the necessary number to transact business. The Sergeant-at-Arms was directed by the Speaker to ro out into the world and secure the attendance of a snffieisnt number of members to make up a quorum, which is 101. That officer understood perfectly what alwajs takes place on Friday morning before the Philadelphia train leaves the.depot, and he made a bee line for that point. He was too late, however, for when he ar rived there the train was under full headway two hundred yard3 down the track, and in it were comfortably seat ed nearly all the Philadelphia members as well as from fifty to seventy members from the rural districts. The Sergeant-at-Arms returned to the House and hav ing informed it that he was unable to find any of the absent members, it was compelled to adjourn until Monday ev ening. One would suppose that the im portance of the bill then before the House would have deteired members from such such a reckless desertion of their posts and making hot haste to the depot, impatient to see Philadelphia and all its gilded attractions, but it had no such restraining effect. What did they care about the unfortunate inmates of the Nornstown Asylum, when weighed in the balanea with the anticipated pleasures of a trip to Philadelphia ? We have thus called attention to last Fri day's proceedings because absenteeism was manifested on a much larger scale on that occasion than on any previous Friday, and to show what little regard some of the members have for the oath they took at the beginning of the ses sion. The custom of adjourning from noon on Friday until the next Monday evening, prolongs the session at least a month and costs the taxpayers of the State at every session not less than a hundred thousand dollars. The distribution at the expense of the State Treasury of Smull's Legisla tive Hand Book by members of the Leg islature, received a sudden and no doubt an unexpected check on last Monday night, by the Governor sending to the House his veto of the bill authorizing the printing of 15.000 additional copies of that work for the use of the mem bers of the two houses. The bill had passed the House first and then the Sen ate by large majorities, for where the State becomes the paymaster there is usually great unanimity in favor of any project whose purpose is to promote a grab. The Governor in his veto states that existing laws provide for printing ten thousand copies of the Hand Book which have already been published and delivered to the members for distribu tion, and he thinks that the State i:i the interest of economy ouorht not to be called on to pay for any additional num ber. He is also of the opinion that the utility of Smull's Hand Book, or the need of a general disemination of the information it contains, as a govern ment measure, is more fanciful than re al, and that the present law makes am ple provision for its distribution. He also reminds the Legislature that the free distribution of Purdon's Digest is equally as meritorious a measure, if not more so, and that the excuse of furnish ing the people with useful information was invoked in former years for great extravagance in the issue of that work for the use of the members. Who don't remember with what regularity when he was a member of the House for ten or twelye consecutive jvars, Sam Jo sephs at the oeginning of every session offered a resolution directing the Chier Cleik to purchase, of course at the ex pense of the State, a copy of Purdon for each member. Sam always took his copy home with him at the end of the session, and when he retired from legis lative life and honors he had enough copies of the Digest to supply t a re duced price the one-half of all the Al dermen in Philadelphia. In view f this timely veto we trust, that tle last effort has been made to swindle tbe State by procuring the publication of any txtra copies of Smull's Hand Rook. It has bad a most extraordinary tun of luck. TnE five months' strike of the Ken sington carpet weavers of Philadelphia which came to an end last week under a compromise arrangement, was a ery losing business to both sides. The sev en thousand men and women whoa the strike threw idle, lost in wages no less than a million and a half of dollars in twenty one weeks, and the value of the product which the mills would have turned out if in full operation would have reached six millions of dollars, the loss of which is shared by the owners of the mills, the workmen and all wh .se market for their work was cnt oft through the operation of the strike. The Prince of Wales and prtrty fin ished their tour of Ireland on Monday afternoon and embarked on the roal yacht at Lome for the Scotch port of Stranyar.

There is a wide difference of view be tweenUhe advocates of the silver dol lar in" this country and the bimetallists of Europe. The friends of the Bland dollar cannot be regarded as bimetallists as they ara practically and theoretical ly in favor of makitig this light-weight coin the only basis of currency and stan dard of value. While the bimetallists of Europe regard the repeal of the Bland dollar law as tssential to the establish ment of a double standard, the advocates of this coinage pay small heed to such a consideration. Under the influence of the mnanza miners of the Pacific coast and tbe inflationists who demand abun dance of "cheap money," they pursue a policy which must put the double stan dard out of the question in making more unstable the relation of value bttween the two metals. As the bimetallists of France and oth er nations of Europe argue that the arbi trary coinage of masses of cheap silver dollars in this country is the chief if not the only obstacle to a double stan dard, and as the advocates of this dollar insist that its coinage shall go on with out interruption, there is no probability that these two schools will ever reach a common ground of agreement. They are getting wider apart every day. Hence the holding of international conferences to fix some standard under which gold and silver can circulate together is a mere waste of time nntil the coinage of Bland dollars is arrested. Whilfc this coinage continues the Governments of Europe will make no modification of their currency systems. The leading commercial countries of Europe will ad here to the gold standard the more tena ciously, and this country must in the end be reduced to the siiver dollar as the only basis of currency, if its coinage is arbitrarily maintained. But the administration of Cleveland has thrown down the guantlet to the silver dollar advocates in the outstart. The Cabinet is a unit in regard to the necesaity of arresting this coinage. It is not probable that the Treasury depart ment will take any steps to check the coinage of silver dollars in accordance with the suggestion that there soon will be no money iu the Tieasury "not oth erwise appropriated" that can be used for the purchase of silver bullion. But when Congress meets, such influence as the administration can legitimately ex ercise will be exerted against any fur ther coinage of the silvei dollars. By that time public sentiment in favor of regaling the Bland law will be much s'lengthened. The silver kings of the Pacific, supported by the fiat-money in llationists, will make a desperate effort to prevent a repeal of the law that seeks to give a false value to silver by an ar bitiary coinage at the rate of twenty five million dollars a year. But there is reason to assert that the silver miners and the inflationists will exercise upon the next Congress and tne administra tion little of the power which they have exerted in the past. Repeal of the Bland dollar act anil a snbstant ial revision of the tariff will be leading features of legislation in the next Congress. These two measures are essential pan of the same policy of currency and revenue re form to which the, Democratic party wa3 pledged by the, electioi. of Cleveland. The struggle will be a severe one for such monstrous abuses abuses as are sheltered under the tariff and the silver dollar act die hard ; but there is a cheer ing prospect that the repeal of the silver dollar coinage and the revision of the tariff will be accomplished before the close of next Congress. Phihule'jihia Ucconl. A Strong Man. Louisville comes to the tront again with the strongest man in the country. His name is John Bernhardt, but he resembles the divine Sar i in name only, though he isa native of Alsace, in the south of France. Bernhardt is a new-comer to Lo;iisil!e. I ind is emnloved in the foundry depart ment of a dnwn town factory, where his feats of strength are daily exhibited to the astonishment of Ids fel'ow laborers. He is 27 years old, 0 feet 4 inches iu height, and weighs -2 50 pounds, and with no snrp! us llesh. He is nut fat. but is the finest specimen of muscular man hood seen here for a long time. A I'ost reporter called in to see him, and had a short interview with the brawny Frenchman. He is of magnificent build, straight as an Indian. His chest is broad and de.cp, and his chin and cheek bunts show great strength : but his arms are wo dertul, and around the bi- ceps measure spventeen inches. II is hands look like bacon hams. Hiss-kin 1 is smooth and redthoutrh he never takes I a drop of intoxi'.'Hting liquor and was, never drunk in his life. ! He gave the reporter a few exhir.-i- i lions of bis strength. Taking a piece j of iron which was afterward found to j weigh forty-three pounds, Bernhardt I held iL horizontally at arms length for ! several miuu'es. He then raised a huge ! piere of block iron from the ground and i placed it on the scales. It pulled 8t4 I pounds. Tak ing a piece of bar iron two inches wide and one inch thick, and pla cing it across his knees, he bent it easi ly. He took hold of a 42-gallon barrel of water, and, balancing himself against a post, he went through the motion of drinking cut of the bung-hole. He took a piece of seasoned oak about the size of a wagon s;oke and broke it with his hands He did various other won derful things which demonstrated the possession of most extraordinarj strengt h. Bernhardt wys that he was never in the prize rinp, but that he is not afraid to meet John L. Sullivan or any other man. He professes to fell an ex with his bare fist, and often killed Vgs in that manner while employed in a Chi cago pork-paelting es'ablishrnent. His bands are as bard as wood, and a stroke from one o! tb-em would not diff-r much from a stroke of a mallet. Li-'risvdle Post.

Xo A.N APPEAL FROM THE SOUTH. Let no one imagine, from what is here said, that the south is careless of tfca opinion or regardless of the counsel of the outside world. On th6 contrary, while maintaining firmly a position she believes to be essential, she appreciates heartily the value of general sympathy and confidence. With an earnestness that is little less than pathetic she be speaks the patience and the impartial judgment of all concerned. Surely ber situation should command this, rather than indifference or antagonism. In poverty and defeat with her cities de stroyed, her fields desolated, her labor disorganized, hei homes in ruins, her families scattered, and the ranlw of ber sons decimated in the face of univer sal prejudice, fanned by the storm of war into hostility and hatred under the shadow of this sorrow and this dis advantage, she turned bravely to con front a problem that would have taxed to the utmost eveiy resource of a rich and powerful and victorious people. Ev ery inch of her progress has been beset with sore difficulties, and if the way is no w clearing it only reveals mors clear ly the tremendous import of the work to which her hands are given. It must be understood that she desires to silence no criticism, evade no issue, and lessen no responsibility. She recognizes that the negro is here to stay. She knows that her honor, her dear name and ber fame' no less thau her prosperity, will be measured by the fullness of the jus tice she gives and guarantees to this kindlv and dependent race. She knows that every mistake made and every er ror fallen into uo matter how innocent ly, endangers her peace and her reputa tion. In thi3 full knowledge she accepts the issue without fear or evasion. She says, not boldly, but conscious of the honesty and the wisdom of her convic tions: "Leave this problem to my work ing out. I will solve it in calmness and deliberation, without passion or preju dice, and with full regards for the un speakable equt ies it holds. Judge me rigidly, but judge me by my works." And with the South the matter rnav be left must be left. There it can be left with the fullest confidence that the honor of the republic will be maintain ed, the right of humanity guarded, and the problem worked out with such exact justice as the finite mind can measure or finite agencies administer. No Bulldozing in Navy Yards. Washington, April 22. Secretary Whitney has written the following let ter to Commodore John II. Russell, Commandant of the Mare Island Xavy Yard, relative to the coercion of the vote of that yard by the foremen : "Since assuming the duties of this office my attention has been called to tbe conduct of the foremen of the Mare Isl and Xavy Yard in elections in past years, particularly in 182. After read ing the testimony in the contested elec tion cases of Buck agt. Dudley, taken in the fall of 18SJ, there i3 no doubt in my miud that the vote of the yard was practically coerced aud controlled by the foiVIPen, either with or without orders. Tl:e men were obliged to take their bal lots in a folded form ftom a table pre sided over by one or more of the fore men ; to hold the ballot in sight while walking to the polls 100 feet distant, be tween men stationed for tho purpoue of preventing any cliange of baliots on their part, and to deposit the ballot without having had the opportunity to see ar know its contents, or to exercise any choice for whom they should vote, "I find that the same foremen who conducted this proceeding are still at the vard in the various dt-prt merits. Great complaint is made to me of simi lar proceedings in other years; but I have already read sufficient of this sworn testimony to satisfy me that the men who were engaged iu that proceeding as foremen, directing and controlling it, should be cleared out of the yard in the interest of decent government, and if any similar proceeding or anvthing like it, or any attempt to coerce the vote of the emptovees of the yard by foremen or superior officers should take place here after, whether in the interest, of the dominant parly or otherwise, I will ap ply a similar remedy. Appointments in place of the persons discharged will be made temporarily, and upon trial, until efficient men ihall have been ob tained. "In this connection I desire to say that the bureau officers here complain greatly of the delays and the extraordi nary expense required to do work at the Mare Island yard. I ask your special attention to these r.iatteis. in the hope that you will cooperate with ma in an effort to bring the yard to greater effi ciency, and to eliminate these objection able features from it," The relations between England and Ireland, in case of a var with Russia taxing the energies of the United King dom, is a mat ter of muzh speculation. England's trouble is generally Ireland's opportunity. The Boston Traveller, a journal not socially favorable to Ire land, thinks the outcome ef such a war wonld of necessity be vastly tieneficial to the Irieli people. This ia- its- reason ing : Among other questions that war be- j tweeu England and Russia would settle is the Iridb question. Hungary achtev legislative independence as a result of Austria's grarpie with Prussia nineteen years ago. Engaged in a fight for her Indian Empire with Russia, we should be saipised if one of the first strokes of British statecraft was not an attempt to purchase Ireland's good will by granting her the parliamentary separat ion Home Rule, which the Nationalists have so long and gallantly struggled for. This btfiug conceded to her, it is- piobabl" that Ireland would become as strong and loyal a member of the joint imperi al contsrn as Hungary now is of the Austro-Hungaiian combination. Mr. l'arnell and his colleagues are as well aware i anybody that, if she had her local aiU.onumy, Ireland ha a great deal l-i gain from a partnership for external vurposos with Great, Britain. The splen did Indian depen leucies ae full of pla ces for the profitable employ ment of administrative ability, in which Irish men Ate already numerwiely engaged, and U.ey would no .doubt claim and se cure a larger share of these positions if they were heartily reconciled to thu im perial connection. But for Mr. Glad stone's exasperatingly stupid poJicy tow ard Ireland for tiie past ten years this reconciliation would hve been lorg ago effected. - . r?lt.

At a greBt meeting of rich and Influen tial lind ownurs held in London, on Friday last, and attended by such persons as the I)a'e of Argyl!, the Karl of arnavan and th Marquis of itipon, it was resolved to take steps for the immediate formation of a targe corporation to be called the ' N ational Land Company," for the purpose of secur ing a gradual break'ng up of the "large parcel" system of landnwnership now inju riously prevalent in Great Britain. The present plan of the new organization is to buy up land at wholesale and sell it out in lots not to exceed forty acres, under condi tions likely to cause further sub-division aud prevent aggieuliin of title.
