Pbesident Cleveland accompan ied by several members of his Cabinet wen, to New York on Frid.iv last to re Tlew the military pnx"rssion on Satur day, Decoration Day, and returned to "Wash met on on .Sunday afternoon. It -atimated that orving to the fail titp of the Fitt'burp iron men and their employes t- apree npnn a scale of wa ges for the year becjnninjr on Monday last. 75, 000 worklne men in that city and i't points west of it, have been thrown out of employment. Thomas V. Cooper, Chairman of the Republican State Committee, has Issued a call for the meeting of the Re publican Sfafe Convention to nominate a candidate for State Treasurer, atllar risbury, on Wednesday, the 8th of July. Senatorial and Representative delei.ate3 wi'1 be chosen under the old apportion ment act, as Senators and Representa tives are nominated in their respective districts. Yesterday was the last of the 150 days for which the act of 1874 provides that the members of the Legislature shall be paid at the rate of ten dollars per day, and a Ilarrisburg dispatch says that a number of members express a willingness to hold out until the 12th (next Friday) but swear they will go Lome then no matter what legislation remains unfinished. If their pay went on, however, who doubts that they would not remain at Ilarrisburg until Christmas with as little benefit to the people of the State, as is now visible from any thing that has been done dur ing their five months' session that ex pired on esterday. A bill passed the Seuate finally on Tuesday of last week fixing the allow ance to be paid to Sheriff's for board ing prisoners at fifty ceD3 per day for each prisoner. On the Same day a bill passed the House finally requiring all deeda to be recorded within thirty days after delivery. Also finally a bill fixing the pay of witnesses before Justices of too Teace at CO cents a day and 3 cents mileage. The bill appropriating 1200, COO to be expended in making Improve ments to the Capital was defeated by a vote of 71 yeas, to 74 nays. The eight hour bill was passed finally by a vote of lCr2 yeas, to 31 nays. The bill punishes with a fine of J100 for the first offense and 200 for the second, any employer who compels his employes to work more than eight hours a day. TnE Fight Hour bill which passed finally the lower branch of the Legisla ture last week, punishes by a fine of ?1U0 for the first offence and 5200 for the second, an employer who "compels" his employes to labor more than eight hours a day. "Such legislation," says the Philadelphia Ttcror'l, "does no good and only provokes contention. The Legislafure might a3 well provide that three pecks shall make a bushe'. The reduced bushel would sell in the market for three-fourths of the value of the four peck bushel. The shortened day's labor will fell for less than ten oi twelve hour labor. And what can be done in cases where there is no compulsion ? Tlu; hours of labor are neceasarily a matter of agreement between the per sons who hire it and the persons who are hired. It is nobody's business but their own." A oood lookixo. well built man named Snyder, who belonged to a New York regiment during the war, walked Into the Pension office at Washington one day last week and when asked by the First Deputy Commissioner what his business was, said : "I want to have my pension stopped." The Deputy looked at the man. then at his papers and then at the man again, and finally sent a messenger for the record, "nave you considered this step sufficiently," asked the Deputy. "Yon are, I see, re ceiving 572 a month, nearly f 000. "Yes, I have considered it. The Government has done enough for me, I want to give it np. I bave not an abundance of means, hut I have enough for comfort." the case was made in order that the pen- Blon might be cancelled "upon claim- j ant's request." Gen. Black says this is i not the Grss case of the kind within his knowledge. While thousands of men are fraudulently drawing pensions the request of Snyder, who feels that he is able to live without any more aid from the government, Is so exceptional that It deserves honorable mention. Tin Republicans in the Senate and ITousb at Harrisbnrg having consumed almost five months in concocting and passing through the two houses the Con gressional and Legislative apportion ment bills, sent them to Gov. Pattison tor his action last week, and both of them wer returned by him on Friday ... f11'11 -hich ther originated. with hi? objections in tn "-hape of two acathing veto messages in wIiilv TVXWa I heir rant Ininatita -. .... . 1 i. . ex- . ...... .uv.b IVIID IIIIU.I M1-. ill pn, IIIII II ing of their pUin violation of the Con- Etitntion. Thnvefoe, M.,llth.r.n. ernor's productions of that character f and with which the Legislature has be come so familiar, are ably and fearless ly written and can be easily understood without the aid of a dictionary. A map of the State together with the cen sus ieturnsof 1S80 are all that a man of ordinary capacity needs, to enable him 1 to understand the irresistible force of Governr Tattifon's logic. We have i carefully followed these bills in their ' tortuous passage through both houses, I and have never believed that the Re- publican leaders themseves, who were j l-iebsing them to final pasage, supposed for one moment that the Governor I The Deputy therenpon introduced Sny- j ficiency and ability as the chief officer Tininfi ny personal emn ana applica- bins ore half of the people of Penr-syl-der to the Commissioner.

It j h not doubted at Ilarrisburg that when ! t v.'ie i. taken on the veto-s in the en- " thej will both be sunned. A few weeks ago Governor I'attison vetoed a bill authorizing an additional law judge in the Chester county dis trict, and last week a similar bill in re lation to the Northumberland county district shared the same fate. The Governor bases his veto in the North umberland bill on the same ground as sumed by him in the case of the Chester district, that another judre is not re- i i...: s u j;f,it Wu,.ru uj, ...u i ...v not aemanaea rjy me peop e anu is n unnecessary addition to the public ex pense. The House in which the bill originated endorsed the Governor's views, and refused to pass the bill over the veto by the Constitutional two-thirds vote. If these two bills, as well as a third one applicable to another district, but which has not yet finally passed both houses, had been approved by the Gov ernor, it is not at all a too violent pre sumption that at the next session of the Legislature an additional law judge would have been aked for in nearly ev ery district in the State. The firm stand taken by Gov. Fattison against the elec tion of additional law judges, although it will sadly interfere with the selfish projects of a few lawyers, will be heart ily sustained by the people. And here we take occasion again to say that if the Justices of the Feace before whom criminal prosecutions are required to be commenced, would assert their preroga tive and settle finally at least one-half of the frivolous cases that are institu ted before them, they would shorten the time cow occupied by the Courts nearly one-half, save the different counties a vast amount of money in the shape of jurors' fees, and completely silence any plea that could be made for an addition al judgw in any district in the State. Witat is known as the Brooks 1'quor license bill, requiring retail dealers in liqnor to pay ?100 as license per year in addition to the amount now paid, was defeated in the ITouse at Ilarrisburg, by a vote of 78 yeas, to 79 nays. On the following day, however, the Brown hiarh license bill was taken up and passed second reading by a vote of 95 yeas, to 02 nays. It imposes the following rates in addition to those now paid, the ln crea3ed amount to go into the county treasuries: Cities of the first and sec ond class, 250 ; third class, 5200 ; fourth class, 5150 ; fifth class, which includes boroughs from 5.000 to 10 000 inhabitants, $75, and 550 for all other boroughs and townships. It will le seen that the vote in favor of the bill (95) is only six less than is required to pass it finally when it again comes be fore the House. The opponents of ar.y increased license fee assert that the ne cessary sir votes will not be forthcom ing, while the friends of the bill express their confidence in its ultimate passage. No man can predict what the present House will or will not finally do in re gard to this question, and we must pa tiently wait until it makes Us last gnes. The question oueht to have been defin itely disposed of by the Honso more than two months ago, in order that the Senate might have the necessary time to give it full consideration, which it couldn't very well now do even if it should pas3 the lower branch of the leg islature. There is and always has teen more arrant, demaeop-neiam displayed by j menders of the Legis'ature on the li- cense question, than on any other nnb- I ject of ptib'ic concern with which they undertake to deal.

I 1KELAND THE riVOT AFTEK ALL. The jrravity and urgency of the con stitutional problems raised by the im perative demands of the Irish National ists were never more signally demon strated than by the disaereeroent among British Ministers regarding the Crimes act and other measures bearing on the government of Ireland. Tlere is a Cab net that held together under the torrent of obloquy poured on the abortive out- uuu uernonsrraiiot. ana th:it showpd an unbroken front t0 the rude assaults provoked by its miscon duct of the Afghan controversy, now racked with dissension and brought to the. edge of rupture by Irish questions that for the last six months ssemed bur ied and forgotten, or. at all events, post poned to a new Parliament. The lull in the discussion of Ireland's affairs might no doubt have been pro longed through the expiring hours of the present House of Commons if Farl Spencer and the other Whig members of the Cabinet had Won content, while putting off all projects looking to ad ministrative and agrarian melioration, to dt-fer also their own scheme for per petuating coercion by a reenactment of the Crimes act. To the three colleaenes of Lord Spencer who represent the Brit ish Radirals Mr. Chamberlain. Sir Charles Dilke, and Mr. Shaw-Lefevre there was somethirg peculiarly inop portune, unfair, and exasperating in this inflexible adherence to the purpose of coercion, because it has been repeat edly admitted by the Viceroy and the Chief Secretary themselves that for some time Ireland has been and is now excep tionally free from crimes of violence. There has thus ceased to be a pretext for interference with the ordinary law governing arrest and trial by jnrv, and Radicals like Mr. Morley and Mr. Jo seph Coweu. who voted only with ex treme reluctance tor the Crimes act in the first instance, could not without a elaring breach of faith sanction any further application of its anomalous provisions. We are toll that the number of Radi cal seceders from the Ministerial ranks on. the question of renewed coercion will not fall short of fifty, and that the coalition against Lord Spencer's project will be joined by some forty Conserva tive members whom Lord Randolph Churchill has persuaded to compete with the Radicals for the gooJ will of the Home ftuWs. It is nor, Indeed, expected that Mr. Parnell, Mr. Morley, and Lord Rando'ph together can muster more than 120 votes, but this demon stration may r-o strengthen the hands of Mr. Chamberlain and the other two Radical leaders within the Cabinet that Mr. Gladstone in the end may range himself upon their side. No man knows oetter than the Premier how grossly dis proportionate is the actual preponder ance of the Whig element in the Minis try to the influence of Whig traditions over the huge constituency created by the last Reform act. And if he intend ed to retain the active headship of his party, Mr. Gladstone would even now pay more heed to the opinions of Messrs. Chamberlain and Dilke than to those of all the Whig members of the present Cabinet combined. The attempt to conciliate the Radi cals by offerine to amend the purchase clauses of the Land act during the term of the present Parliament has miscar ried for two reasons : first, because the proposed conditions of sale are said to be more favorable to landlords than to ten ants ; and, secondly, because no meas ure of the kind could be carried out ac ceptably to the Irish people under the existing system of local administration. English Tt-idiea's have ft last awakened to the fundamental trnh that reform legislation for Ireland has hitherto W gun at the wrong end, and that the first thirg needed is a radical transformation of t he machinery for enforcing the laws. Accordingly, Mr. Morley and bis friends have for some time seconded Mr. Par nell in contending tint a Local Govern ment bill oueht to prr-ede even a Land Purchase bill. . To insist, as Lord Spen cer does, that a r.ew Coercion bill should tke precedence of both, is to off-r Ire land a stone when she has been clamor Irie for bread. There may le some ground for the re ports that the Whg and the Radical members of the Catin't will atrree upon a compromise by which certain clauses cf the Crimes act would be reenacted for one yenr only. .Such an arrange ment would be a v'rTual victory for the R.ilea!s. who re certain to dee:sive1y outnumber th Whigs in the next House X.

S.-.-ijr. WASHINGTON LETTER. From ear resrular Correspondent. Washington June 1, 18S5. This morning I concluded I would take a birdseye view of Washington in her summer dress, and, instead of wri ting you a political news letter, tell you something about how the Capital of your conrtry looks on the first of June, after a week of rain. I am writing on the top of the Wahinetvn Monument, at an elevation of 500 feet. The city is spread out before me like a chess hoard on which the church spires are bishops, the equestrian statues knights, the huge department buildings castles, and the palaces of the millionaire Senators hu I have stretched this poor simile far enough. The prevailing color is crreen. Lafayette Tark, Franklin and Judicia ry squares, the extensive lawns of the White House, and the Smithsonian and Agricultural gronnds have a bricht em erald freshness. The many thousands of trees that now reach the house tons give the appearance of a city planted in a yong forest. From this height one can get a much better general view of the improvements that are in progress than by driving over the city. The vis ible public improvements are confined mainly to the Potomac flats, the Pen sion office, the new State department and the Capitol. It has long been an objection to the Capitol that it was squatty or stumpy iu its architecture, and that. the dome was entirely too hich and imposing for such a ila pile of buil dings as are the House and Senate wings. To build the Capitol overaeain when It had already cost about 515.000, 000 was too extravagant an undertaking even for this country. To build the Senate and Ilonsn wings higher was not desirable, for taken by themselves, they are architecturally perfect both in pro portion and in detail. So, instead of building the Capirol higher, it has been decided to increase its height by build ing it lower. The west front of the Capitol is surrounded by a sodded ter race. This is to be removed and a white marble lower story added to it. The work has already been begun, and its effect mav be judced now. It will add greatly to the height of the Capitol and thus decrease the apparent height h of the dome, taking away the unpleasant appearance of disproportion. The vast new park that has been made bv dredging the bottom of the Potomac and depositing the mud on the border ing swamps may be seen in outline from the monument.. Two or three years will elapse before the work can be com pleted, and it will add several hundred acres to the public grounds of the Cap ital, which, when improved by the art of landscape gardener, will increase no little the attractiveness of it environs. The new Pension building will soon be finished and occupied by Pension Commissioner Black and his army of clerks. It will he the most commodi ous and convenient of the department buildings in Washing! n. The venti lation will be ierfect, for every room will have windows on opposite sides communicating with the outer air. Appropos of the public buildings and improvements of the national Capital, it has been said that the Democratic party was not favorable to them, and that the wonderful progress cf the city would now come to a stand still. It will be remembered, however, that the solid architectural improvement of the city was nearly all begun and accom plished under Democratic auspices, and before the Republicans came into pow er. The Capitol, the Tostoftice depart ment, the Patent Office, and the U. S. Treasury were built before the Presi dency of Abraham Lincoln, The Re publicans tiave. with a great outlay of public funds, made new streets and parks and erected broi ze equestr ian stat ues to many generals of the late war, but. what, they have done will not com pare in usefulness, solidity or endurance with what the Democrats did before them. Those who are most interested have faith i.i Democratic patriotism and national spirit. Re-tl estate-fntners are asking and getting more for their prop erty than at any previous time in the history of the city. K. When we rr fleet that tha Republi can new-.'jvpers i IVr.'isylvanH are rd itnd by white of more thrin aver age Intelligent ar.-l of average i-robiry and pood character, we cannot bring ourselves to underhand the virulence of their attacks on Governor Pattison for vetoing the Apportionment bills. These bilis were vetoed because they conflict with the rules laid down iu the Consti tution to govern legislative action in the matte; of apportionments. Gover nor Pat'isitn is bound by his oath of office to obey the Constitution. He could not sign the bilis without viola ting his oath. Tie has dcr;e precisely what the political fditors who assail him would have been bound to do if they had been in his place. The Appor tionment, bills as they stand, steal away from one portion of the people of the State their rightful share of reprsenta tion in Congress and the Legislature and confer it upon another portion of the people not entitled to it. It is wrong to steal. We do not suppose any of the irate editors we have alluded to would rob a till or a hen roost ; but there is no moral difference between rotbing one man of his earh or his pullets and rob- punished with rigor in the ordinary dealings bet ween man and man, but it should not be so. When the legisla ture, at Ilarrisburg boldly overrides the rights of th minority, solemnly guaran teed to them in fundamental law, there ought to be but one expression of dis sent and abhorrence in the public press of the S'ate. It ig sad, indeed, that the press cannot rise to this height of recti tude and vindicate its character as the champion of justice and fair play. PhiUulilxtttia llecord. Tonlh and Aire.
