Tf,e 5rooks bill, which was a simi lar measure, having been defeated a day or two lefore, the question of high li cense is definitely disposed of for the present, only to be the subject of re- newed controversy at the next sess ion. The President last week appointed General Rosecrans Register of the Trea sury, in place of Blanche K. Bruce, colored,) who resigned a short time ago. Gen. R. entered upon the duties of his office on Monday. The General is a poor man and the salary of the of fice will come very handy to him. In addition to this it is said that the Sd preroe Court of the United States has just decided a case in his favor, affect ing some valuable land surveys in Cali fornia held by him for many years, but which have been in controversy ever since he made the purchase. He was a gallant soldier and deserves all the good luck that may fall to him. The Legislature held a session on Saturday last which was the first time f uch a remarkable event occurred since it assembled on the 6th of January. If the Snate, a couple of weeks ago, had passed instead of voting down the bill making it a penal offense by the Penn sylvania or any other railroad in this State to issue free passes, except to their own employes, and if the House had afterwards sanctioned the measure, a Saturday session after the next Legisla ture meets in January 1SS7, would be the rule and not the exception, as has been the case since 173 at least, and the State thereby would be many thousand dollars the gainer. Kr. A. Brc.LER, of Clearfield, the newly appointed Internal Revenue Col lector, to succeed Colonel Jackson in the Allegheny district, in which Cam bria is embraced, was in Tittsburg last Monday eight, and when asked by a re porter of the rnst whether he would appoint an entire new force of deputies and clerks, he replied : "Yes. sir. Ten good Democrats shall have the positions which I control; eight deputies and two clerks. I will choose a portion of the force within the next few days, and the remainder after I have taken charge of the office on the 1st of July." This is the kind of Civil Service, as it is called, which Democrats have a right to demand, so that ''he who runs may read and the wayfaring man, though a fool, cannot err therein." A stock company, it is said, has formed at Cuarlestown, the little West Virginia village where John Brown was bung, to manufacture and sell relics of the timber from which the historic scaf fold was built. The "John Brown Scaf fold Company" claims to have resur rected the carpenter who built the scaf fold and who, according to his own ac count, afterward built a porch from the same tiniber. The company has oought the house and the porch, and Is prepared to cut the latter up into relics to suit. After the porch is gone they will proba bly begin on the house, then on the barn and ultimately on the board fence, vhi'-h will enable them to continue business for an indefinite period. A good, carefully-developed relic business need Dever be suspended so long as there is plenty of raw material left. The Adjutant General of the United States Army has just completed a list of casualties in the Noithern Army during the late Civil war. The list is believed to be the most accurate that has yet been published. The total num ber of deaths is shown to have been 35,4iV.. Of these 29:40S occurred among Union soldiers held as prisoners of war. The total number of troops re ported, as furnished by the States under various calls, is 2,772,403. Some of the returns were duplicated, and It is esti mated that the actual number was about two and a half millions. In no war of modfin times has any country in Europe fumitdjed anything like so many men to fii-ht her battles, nor has the world ever seen a war of ruch gigantic pro portions as that which was waged for nearly four years between the Northern and Confederate Slates of America. Hit. Smith IJcttermore, N. B. IlAKiMxa and Jesse Smitii, of Con nellsville, who are charged with con spiracy to defraud the State oat of f 12, towards the erection of a coal min ers' and laborers' hospital at that place, weie arrested at their homes on Satur day last by a Ilarrisburg officer on a warrant In pursuance of an information made against them by the District At torney of Dauphiu couuty. Tbey gave bail in f lO.OOJeach to answer tbecharge preferred against them. Dr. Butter more w ho initiated the fraud, if fraud thern b, when he was a member of the L-gifliture two years ago. alleges that tbe purpose of tbe proceedings against him is to defeU his nomination for State Senator from the Fayette and Greene dis'.rict. This is mere subterfuge, be cause if he is innocent of any fraud in the matter and can establish that fact before a Court aijj jury, his nomination and election are rendered absolutely cer tain. An honest man would court a tiiurough Investigation of the charge i call forth profound and universal syu without fear of the result. J pathy. o man in the State knowe twtter than Col. McClure). of the Philadelphia 7"i i., the true cause underlying the dpfeat of the iVmocratic party in Penn sylvania at the last November election by a majority rf 8,M, and in an arti cle in his paper tew a'1"" tne election the real cause was acenrately stated by him. Ever sir.ee Gov. Paul son vetoed the Congressional Apportion ment t ill, however. Col. McClure has tieen publishing articles in the 7i' in which he admotishes certaiu IemxrV. ic Senators who would be thrown out of 7'V."'i? into rrrtii Iemocratic dis tricts under the bill. If it should be passed over the veto, of the propriety of bringing about that result. He says it would be better for the Democrats in the Senate to accept the vetoed bill by vot ing down the Governor's objections, than be compelled tv take a worse one after a Republican Governor is elected ft year from next November. The an swer to this is that sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. ITe now attrib utes the crushing defeat of the Demo crats in this State last fall, to the folly of their Representatives in the Legisla ture two years ago in refusing to accept what was known as the McCracken Congressional bill. "VV'be in this State 1 besides the editor of the Times ever be i tore dreamed that when the Repub licans carried more than two-thirds of the aggregate members of the Legisla ture at the last fall election, they did it upon the issue of the refusal of the Democrats to agree to the apportion ment bills passed by the Republicans at the extra session in 1SS3 ? Can the Time, editor name a county in the State in which that issue was made ? It can't be done, simply because no such Issue was ever made. As we said before Col. McClure satisfactorily accounted In his paper for the oig Democratic defeat last November just after it occurred, and when the causes that produced it were well understood by every intelligent politician in the Stale. The action of the Democrats on the apportionment bills at the extra session had nomore to do with it, than John C. Delaney's ma licious, but stupid slanders against Rob ert C. Pattison in the campaigu of 182. John A. Loo an is reported as hav ing said on several occasions since his re-election by the Illinois Legislature, through Democratic stupidity and pig headed ness to the United States Sen ate, that "he is more than ever con vinced that he made a mistake last fall." Well, so did Blaine for that matter, but the people didn't make any mistake in returning a verdict of want of confi dence in the trickster from Maine and the demagogue from Illinois. What Logan evidently means by baying made "a mistake last fall" is that ha ought not to have consented to become the tail of the Republican ticket In place of its head, and that in the contest to take place in is,? he will not be draeooned into playing second fiddle to any man, but will bo "either CVsar or nothing." It is well known that Blaine wouldn't let Logan travel with him in his stump ing tour through Ohio, and B'aine's relative. Mis Hamilton, in a newspaper article prior to the nomination at Chica go predicted defeat in the event of Lo gan being put on the ticket with Blaine. Logan, however, believes that Republi can defeat was caused through Blaine's weakness, and that at the next trial he must stand at the head of the class no matter who gets the second place. Neither one of them will ever be elect ed to the Presidency. At the session of the House at Ilar risburg on Monday last a bill was pas sed which ought to have passed both bouses years ago. but was always de feated by the influence of the "rooster" element in the two bodies. It is a bill fixing the salary of members of the Legislature at 51,500 for a regular ses sion, without regard to its length, and $500 at an extra session. The vote stood, yeas, 123 ; nays, 19. The Senate had time enough to pass the bill before final adjournment to-day, but at this writing we cannot tell what. If any , mm, was none wun it. mis mil ir followed up by the passage of an iron! clad act prohibiting railroad companies ' from issuing free passes, would insure shorter sessions and more careful legis- j lation, the abolition cf free passes con tributing even more to effect these two desirable results than the bulk pay of members for a session without regard to its length, ins'ead of the present ier diem compensation. A man has been occupying a seat in j the Senate of this State for the last ten ! days who is a citizen of Joliet, Illinois. His name Is Samuel McClure. He lived in Mercer county when he was elected last fall, went to Ilarrisburg at the opening of the session, voted for Cam eron when he was elected to the TJ. S. Senate soon after the session began, and after that voted forthe Builit bill. He then went away and has been in Illinois ever since until ten days ago, when he returned in obedience to a dispatch from the Republican leaders so that he could cast his vote against the Governor's ve to of the Congressional and Legislative Apportionment bills. The Interesting question now is will McClure undertake to collect his $ 10 a day for tte time be spent among the Illinois hoosiers, and if he does, will he get it ? The ques tion can be answered in a day or two. i "What will become of the members of the lower house of the Igis!atuie if they are compelled to leave Ilarris burg to-day, without their proportionate share of the ten thousand extra copies of Smull's Hand Rook, for piintir.g which, at the expense of the State, they passed a bill through the House a week ago last Wednesday, in lieu of the pre vious swindle to print fifteen thousand copies which was throttled by Governor Pattiyn's veto?

II.FLHN AT lEKATION ANTIETAX KAY. ON The following are U.j opening and concluding portions of the Decoration Day address delivered on May 3, lsv, at the Memorial Iy aervicea on the battle fit-Id of Ant it-tarn by Gen. George j It. McClelUn : "When I last stood upon this historic He'd the smoke of battle still wreathed I these hills and filled those valleys; thet-e rocks still re-echoed the harsh wounds of strife, and the ground was all too thickly strewn with the forms or the q:ietdead. and of those still writhing in a?ony. "Two great armies had met in deadly strife, the fate of a nation and the fu ture of generations vet unborn hanging u-on the result. Within the walls of this vast cemetery peopled almost in a sintrle day repose the mortal remains of the brave men who fell here under one of two rival banners; those who met death beneath the other, sleep their last sleep within sound of the euns that wroneht such havoc. After their long and desperate struggle, these men, who laid down their own and sought each others lives in fierce hot loyal battle, have been placed almost side by side, awaiting that last dread trumpet sound that shall call them to life. There are here to-day those who fought on either side : men. who. clad m grey, followed the noble Lee, and we who wore the hInp We are here with'a common purpose to testify our reverence for the valiant dead. In these too numerous graves, stretching so far and wide around us, let us bury all auirnosity, all bitter rec ollections of the past, remembering on ly that on Antietam's hills brave men gave their lives for what they thought the rieht, and proved that the heroism of our ancestors still reigned in the hearts of the Americans of tint day. "It is nor my purpose on such a day as this, or in presence of such an assem bly, to rehearse the various acts of the great tragedy enacted where we stand. It was the most deplorable of contests, for it was one of the grandest episodes in the greatest of fratricidal wars. waged by men of a mighty nation, favored be yond all others by Providence. "On this very field, brothers men born of the same mother met in mor tal conflict. Had that war occurred in heathen times, it would have been thought that the most implacable of the gods even of the Norsemen or the Az tecs had been satiated by the heca timb of heroes offered up on this single field. "As it is, I pray that this fair land of ours may never again be the scene of such carnage as some of us beheld long years ago on these bloodstained heights. I shall not touch upon the causes of that, war, of which Antietam was one of the greatest battles, further than tosavthat our children should never forget that it was brought about and even made ne cessary by the extremists of the two sides. If the moderate men. North ami South, could have controlled events, the dread arbitrament of arms might have been avoided. "I and my fellow Democrats of the North fought for the L'uion, because j we believed that, it contained within it- t self the power of ensuring all possible i good things to this ieople, and of secur ing us against unnumbered evi's, and chiefly because we believed, as we traced the history of America from its faint beginnings, that we could see the ' hand of God guiding our fathers in the J creation of a nation destined to become the greatest of which historv bears rec ord, and having as its mission the fu'.fiiment of some great design of His. " We feel that it was our sacred duty to offer our lives as His Teeble instru ments in the preservation of the magnif icent edifice His hands had reared. Mon smarting at the time under aetml or apprehended evils, honestly differed from this view I dare not judge them, for their pefect hones'y was proved by the magnitude of the sacrifices they made for the cause they deemed just. But I, and those who felt as I did, be lieved that all other questions of the time were contained in and subordinate to the vital, the immense question of the preservation of the Union. "I believed, aud still believe, that it is impossible for two governments to co-exist in this land of ours without soon coming into collision on some sec ondary question, and that it was better to fight at once for the main issue an issue, it seemed to me, directly in har mony with the designs of the overruling Providence. "In the eyes of future generations how strange, how romantic and how stirring will always seem the history of these two armies, pitted against each other through long years of battle, from Yorktown to Appomattox, where the scanty and mangled remainsof the great army of Northern "Virginia, exhausted '1 .

Washington, June 8, The tug of war still comes on and goe on between the Administration and the office seekers. The tntrging is to a great extent among the office seek ers, that is they tug against each other ; but the President has to bear the brunt and suffer the wear and tear, ne is, no doubt, becoming very weary of the delegations that pursue him relative to comparatively unimportant offices. Per haps no minor office Las made no great er demands upon his time and patience than the Charleston. Sooth Carolina, Collectorship. The rival delegations have been persistent in their claims on his attention. He told them last wees that they most aeree to settle this mat ter among themselves, and that if they did not do so soon, he would be com pelled to settle it in a way that wouid not suit any of the contending factions. The work of turning out the idle, the incompetent, and the otherwise offen sive partisans goes on slowly but surely. The term "offensive partisan," is in the mouth of every one here, and it is in danger of being not ouly abused but misunderstood. It should be known that these discharged, discarded em ployes were not cast, out merely because they were zealous Republicans, but be cause their zeal in politics wholly inter fered with their duties as Government employes. Thev are those who have been drawing oav from the public treas J but performmg no pubhc sery.ee, because their time has ben entirely ta- ken up with partisan work. While they were doubtless very important factors in the Repeblican organization, collect ing campaign money, falsifying state ments, skilled in the art of making the worse appear the better part upon the stump, and through the press they were the vampires of our political system, sucking its blood, and lulling it with lies. Many of them have been discharg ed, and many more will be discharged. No matter who their "influence" and "backing" may be. the time has come for them to go into scandalous retire ment, and they will go. It is not alone in the discharge of idle and worthless partisans that this admin istration is making itself memorable. There are other and perhaos more im portant reforms going on. These re forms are not palpable and visible to the unskilled eye of the public at large, but their accumulated weight will be seen in the reports ot Cabinet officers when Congress meets next fall, in the message of the President, and especially in the greatly reduced appropriations that will be asked for the public service for the next fiscal year. It. is well known that frauds upon the revenue have long leen practiced by impostors and persons in connivance with custom house officials. So great had this evil become a few years ago that it was found neresnary for Con gress to appropriate $100,000 to aid ic the detection and exposure of these frauds. But even this fund, designeJ as it was for the prevention of evasions and irregularities, was soon perverted to as fraudulent uses as those it was appro priated to correct ; and it is a matter of notorious history tht the greater part of this hundred thousand dollars a year went into the hands of a gang of disrep utable political bummers in New York, j Philadelphia and other cit'es. as a re- w.ird for their partisan service.. Here was one attempted reform, but the mis fortune of it was that like most Repub I lican reforms, it was a backard rather i than a forward s'.ep. J Such is but one of the many great ras I calities in the customs service which I Secretary Manning, as a practical busi I ness roan, set to work to eliminate upon I his taking charge of the Treasury de ! partment ; and how he has succeeded is I best told in the language of a prominent j Republican of this city to a correspond ent, of the New York ITirald : "I have occasion, by the nature of ray I work, to know what is being done in j the Treasury and by the Administration j in the way of reforming long standing and very grave abuses ; and I say to you I that. In the important matters which I j am necessarily familiar with, thisIro j ocratic Administrat ior. has done more I in three months than has been done hi fifteen years before." K. The Ballot Box.

The spot, which is now In the heart of the town, is supposed to have form ed part of the bed of a lock in prehistoric tioies, and three centuries ago a mill dam was constructed at the place, which was then a morass.

' Colonel L. '. Batrheider, Deputy Quar termaster ieneri.l, left Washington last Tuesday niwht for New York, to receive and bringjto Washington testimonials and pres ents received by General ilrant at home and abroad, which wer presented to this Gov ernment by Mrs. Grant. Colonel Bateaelder was specially selected for this duty by tbe Secretary of War a few days ago. It has not yet been decided where the presents will be permanently placed A special from Sherman, Texas, says : A meteor of remarkable size was seen near midnight Saturday night, moving southwest The sky was brilliantly illuminated for sev eral seconds. A moment after it had disap peared loud explosion, similar to the dis charge of heavy artillery, was heard, accom panied by a perceptible shock. This phe nomena was followed by a rumbling, like distant thunder. The meteor appeared to be about the size of a flour br.rrel. It was also observed at McKinney, thirty-five miles distant, where a hissing sound was heard. greatly alarming some colored people who were returning from a prayer meeting, and causing them to take flight, shouting that the day of judgment had come. The White Ilous covers about one third of an acre, and it has cost up to the present time abont $2 000,000. It Is model ed after a castle in Dublin, and the archi tect, who was a .South Carolina man named Iloban, got f,"00 for drawing the plans. When It was first bnilt. away back n the nineties, it cost f:W0 000. but the British burned out its inside, and its cost has since added to that sum about ? 1,700,000. In it all the Presidents since Washington have lived, and each has added to Its beauties and expense. John Adams bought the first bil liard table which was used in it But In John Adams' time it was only half furnish ed, and Abigail Adams nsed to dry her clo'hes in the big East Kootn. Year by yer, however, the furnishing has gone on, until now it is a sort of a museum of art and beauty. BROW, THE BEST TONIC.
