'It would be interesting to know whether Samuel McClure, the Republi can State Senator from the Meicer dis trict, wh8-!it more than thrre-fourths of the time of the last session of the Iieg-i-ilatnre in Iliinoid, and who when last heard from was ag-iin In that State Stepped into tbe Stale Treasurer's office at Hsrrisbnrg at th end of the session and like th rest of the members drew his pay for 150 Jys. McClure ruay not be that kind of a man, al if he did so, a criminal neglect exists at Ilarrisburg in making out the warrant on the State Treasurer for a member's salary. We hardly suppose that thi Committee on Accounts in the Senate, of which Mr. McClurv himself was chairman, would knowingly assent to see the Treasury plundered in ttat rough way, but still we would like to know how much Mc Clure wa-t paid. Although tho Democratic candi odat for Governor in Ohio will not be nominated for some wpcKj yet, Fora ker, the Republican nominee, is just re ceiving fair notice that be will have as bard a road to travel as lie he had two years ago, when Hondly defeated him by over twelve thousand majority. Jloadly was compelled to spend several of the most important period of that campaign in a sick room in Phila delphia, but his lion-hearted friends fought his battle to the end and elected him. Both the tempeiance element and the negro element in that State pripose to be more active nud aggres sive pgairst the Repnblican candidate this year than they were in 1883. The evidence of this fact is so apparent that th leaders of I he grand old party are already badly frightened. When the Democrats put their ticket in the field they. will, make it mighty warm for the candidate who.-w supporters are running him on the inspiring platform that when he was a Uiy he wore a pair of trousers i made out of an old coffee bag.

HViden to be Collector of Cuntoms for tbe port of New York ; II. 8. Beattie to be Sur veyor of Customs and Silas N. Burt te be Naval Officer of tbe same port. New York tising tbe first commercial city in the country and the one where the lar gest revenue from foreign Imports is j collected, these appointments, and es pecially that of Collector, are regarded as the most important in the gift of the President. If the Democratic politi cians in the city of New York had the power to fill these three offices, the men who have been selected by Mr. Cleve land to take charge of them would not have been chosen. The President be fore acting endeavored to get the lead era of the three Democratic divisions in that city, Tammany Hall, the County Democracy, and Irving Hall, to compro mise their senseless quarrels and furnish him the names of three gentlemen whose appointment would be acceptable to the rival factions, but. as a matter of course, no compromise was reached, and he was compelled at last to take the responsibility himself, which he Is never afraid to do. Mr. Iledden, the new Collector, is a merchant of high stand ing, and for thirty-five years has conr ducted the Custom Ilouse business of the firm with which he has been con nected. He has always been a Demo crat, but more of a business man than a politician. Mr. Burt, the Naval officer, was connected with the office from 1869 up to 1883, and for five years previous to the latter date was himself the in cumbent of the office. He was original ly a Republican, bnf supported Cleve land for Governor in 1882 and for Presi dent In 1884. Mr. Beattie has always been a Democrat and was an associate in the Corporation Counsel's office dur ing the term.of Wm. C. "Whitney, now Secretary of the Nary. It will thus be seen that Mr. Cleveland has put three experienced business men in these im portant places, and that is just what tbe merchants and business men of New Tork want, rather than have them filled by politicians, as they have nearly al ways been. That the sound jndgment of the President in making these ap pointments wi!l be fully vindicated by the satisfactory manner in which they respectively discharge their duties, would seem to be a foregone conclusion. It U a strong trait in Mr. Cleveland's character that when he acts on his own well known sound judgment and rugged common sense in making an important appointment, he hardly ever makes a mistake. The late Collector of the Tort of New York was Judge Robert son, who was nominated to tbe Senate by Garfield at the special instance and request of James G. Blaine, then Secre- taiy of State, as a reward for Robert son's efforts at Chicago in 1880 in de realing Grant's nomination for a third term. Robertson's appointment led Conkling to resign his seat in the U. S Senate, made him the sworn enemv of Garfield and gave him a chance of helping to defeat Blaine in New York hist November. The position of the Grand Army of the Republic as a secret society toward the Catholic Church, has been made the the subject of investigation by a com mittee consisting of General Rosecrans, of Calfornia. General Martin T. McMa hon. of New York, and J. C. Linehan, of New Hampshire, all of whom are Catholics. Communications were held with Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, and Archbishop Gibbons, of Baltimore, explaining the nature, management and aims of the organization. In response to the request of . these prelates ample Information, written and printed, was furnished, showing that the object of the association was to cultivate among the members a spirit of fraternity, char ity and loyalty, and demonstrating that it could not properly be designated a secret society. The letter to the Arch bishops stated that while the members of the society did not expect or ask any Indorsement or ecclesiastical approval of the society, they were anxious to have its nature understood. Conversa tion on the subject was held with otter Bishops and theologians, and all expres sed the opinion, which has been an nounced to theGraud Army of the Re public, that the aociety as now organized and conducted, is not in an ecclesiasti cal sense a secret society, and that Cath olics may with good conscience become members of it. The trial of Mrs. Dudley, the Eng lish woman who shot Jeremiah O'Dono van Rossa, the apostle of dynamite in this country, in the streets of New York last February, was begun in that city on Monday last. Oa Tuesday afternoon the jury after having been out about five minutes rendered a verdict acquitting her on the ground of insanity.

Tbe modern desire of women to ex tend the large of their activity, which is shown in their pursuit t.r grt-Mtt-r po litical and industrial opport unities, i? a so, even in this ag- of religious skept icism, impelling exi raordinri.'y great numters of them to undertake the seif- sacntieing woik of these sisterhoods. The widespread anxiety among earnest and serious minds becausv of the terri ble evils of society is another cau 'e of this increasing tendency. Conscien tious women of the most delicate sensi bilities and finest education throw them selves into tbe religious life under the conviction that only by absolutely turn ing their backs on the vanities of the world can they render the needed ser vice to their unfortunate fellow beings. Not even at Rome, we are told, is it exactly known bow many nuns there are in the worl i, and only the Bishop of each diocese, whose duty it to keep in sight every nun of whom he is the offi cial protector, could state the number under his charge. But in France alone there are certainly more than a hun dred thousand, and they are multiplying throughout the world. Nuns are every where at work, and. almost before the Madbi's name was heard of, a colony of nuns from Verona had confronted him, and had made ready tor martyrdom rather than apostasy. For instance, there is tbe Sisters of Mercy coogreeatoin, which was founded as lately as 1831 by a young Irish lady and two associates, and whose work was mainly "a roost serious application to the instruction of poor girls, visita tion of sick, and protection of distressed woman of good chaiacter." They now count 133 bouses in Great Britian and Ireland, beside many iu North and South America Australia and New Zealand. The nuns of the Good Shep herd, specially vowing to "employ them selves in the instruction of penitent women." have since 1835 founded com munities in the four quarters of the globe, and are rapidly increasing. The great congrei. ation of the Sacred Heart, established hy Sophie Bavat, and sanc tioned in 1826 by Rome after a iong and "comparatively hidden existence," has now 5.050 women engaged chiefly in training the daughters of well-to-do pa rents, "earning, indeed, obloquy by their devotion to the richer stratum of society, where ignorance and bad exam ple are probably most dangerous." Then, there are the "Little sisters of the Poor," a congregation founded a little over forty years ago, and which now numbers more than lour thousand. They have established 230 houses in different parts of the world. In France the "Little Sisters of the Wotkingman" is a community of recent organization, whose mission is altogether iu work shops and factories. These are only a few, and only the moie modern, of the sisterhoods, for there are eighty-eight differnt orders or congregations at work in Paris alone, and in all there are "many hundred thousand educated women, the flower of our civilization, working with suc cess toward the reconciliation of labor and capita), of the learned and the ig norant." Moreover, we are told that "the de mand for their services is increasing be yond the devlnprnnt of fieir commu nities, extraordinary as ii is," and that "including the com m unities that are allied to the Sisters of Charity by their rule, about one hundred thousand eve ry year renew their vows, with few ex ceptions." These usterhoods are roughly classed by the writer from whom we quote as of two systems of govern mnt "one iif which each house is a republic, of which the Superior is elective, which has its own budget, and, like a hive of bees, can send forth families, to be in turn autonomous ; or an ordt-r may be mon archical and have one head, elected, however, only for a term of years, who. with her -taff. controls the ltor of the whole society." The rule of the sisters of Charitv is thus centralized, and "the responsibilities of the Superior can be imagined when we think of thf disper sion of her twenty live thousand daugh ters throughout the world. Ilr-r secre taries must e accomplished linguists, for her world-wide correspondence is in vaiious tongues. She i8 elected only fur three years, but so well is the sys tem orgatiiz-.l that no visible hitch ever lntei ruprs its manifold enterprises. " At 'this time, too, the Episcopal Church is giving increased attention to its sisterhos.ds, and :t lias been compi led to do so, for they meet a positive demand among the pious women of the Church. At first the opposition to them was pretty general among both the clergy and the laity, for they were regarded as a step Romewaid ; but they flourished in spite of I heir enemies, un til all parties of the Church now seem to be united in recognizing their neces sity to satisfy the desire of woman for absolute devotion to Christian work. Meantime, too. Epispocal clergymen are taking monastic vows, fascinated by the thought of a life wholly conse crated to religions duty. Nor must we forget that these orders offer an ideal communism which appeals with irresistible power to many of the roost earnest minds of the time. Xew York isvn. A Talk Between Two Straight out Men. General Logan called up on Secretary Mam.ing before leaving the city a few days ago. He desired to know if the Revenue Collectors at Cai ro and Qulncy, IU., both of whom were friends or his, were to be retained or dismissed. "Mind !" excained he, "I am not asking their retention. I only desire information on the subject, in or der that they may arrange 1'ieir plans for thu future." Mr. Manning replied in bis usual direct fashion : "They will both le dismissed as soon as suitable men can b found lo till iheir places.

If WASHtVJTOS LETTER. From our roinltr Onrrppond"nt. "Washington, June 30. 1885. In half an hour after the Commission of the Ruablicn collector at the port of New York had expired a Democrat bad been appointed in his place. The appointment came nearly three days be fore it was expected, and created con siderable surprise in political circles here. The quid nuncs and have row had time to pull together, and stare at the situation. and j their comments are as diverse as their j political biases. The Republicans take a William "Walter Phelps view of the selection, and say it is good for the country, but bad for the Democratic party. They are unable to see how much wiser a politician President Cleve land is than was President Garfield, when he created a schism in his party by appointing Mr. Robertson to this same office four years age. The manner of man Mr. Hedden the new Collector is cannot be better stated than by quoting from the letters of those who most intimately know tim. In a letter to the President, Bates. Reed and Cooley prominent New York merchants said: "We take pleas ure in testifying to the excellent busi ness qualities, integrity of character, and high commercial standing ot Mr. Iledden among the business men of this city, and to say that we are sure his ap pointment as Collector of tbe Port will give great satisfaction to tbe best busi ness interests of the city. We believe Mr. Hedden to be thoroughly compe tent in every direction, a man of tbe thorough going system, and order in the despalcn ot business, and a gentle man who will do honor to the appoint ment if be is so fortunate as to receive this favor at your hands. Daniel Drake Smith one of tbe old est merchants in New York wrote, "His father a lawyer, studied in the office of Alexander Hamilton, and filled an honorable, and distinguished civic office in this city more than a half a cen tury ago, and was a representative of the city on the opening of the Erie canal. I do not hesitate to say that from personal knowledge of Collectors and not a single one better qualified, in my opinion to fill the place than is Mr. Hedden. Mr. Hedden has always acted with the Deuio-ratic party." Mr. Edwin R. Livermore, throws this light on Mr. Hedden's political faith, and other characteristics: "He is an anassumlng man, a genuine New Yorker, a thorough Democrat through all the time I have known him, caliniy wailing for a return to constitutional principles of covernment. He has been respecied and admired by those eveu in authority who differed with him po litically. His expert testimony has al ways lieen sought and approved in mer cantile appraisement, and other Custom House matters. There, are few mer chants better qualified by taste and ed ucation than he for the office." Gen. John B. Woodward's letter adds this: "Mr. Iledueu was born in this city, and entered the employ of Wet more, Cryder & Co., in 1847. He was employed at once to attend to their Cus tom Ilouse work, and had general su pervision theieof during the whole of his business career. The firm never employed Custom Ilouse brokers, owing to his thorough acquaintance with the requisite details. He became a partner with the house in May 1859, the style of tbe firm being changed to "Wetmore Cryder & Co., and was practically '.he managing partner of the house from then until the dissolution of the part nership in December 18S4." Mr. Iledden is not afraid of the office as may be inrferred from a remark made on Saturday, he said, "I am thoroughly familiar w:th every depart-; merit of ihCusiom Ilmisp, and know the duties of every man in it, from the entry clerk to the Collector. I am no politician and although my sympathies are with the county Demoeiats. I go into the ofiiee unpledged and unbiased. No man and no body of men will find it possible to rule me." K. The Philadelphia liecord savs : Judge Biddie has made many noteworthy ad dresses from the bench, but his remarks in sentencing the defaulting treasurer of the Decatur Building Association deserve to lie printed ir letters of gold for the perusal of judicial officers every where. His sweeping condemnation of the pernicious doctrine that education, social position, and similar advantages should betaken in mitigation of punish ment is as timely as truthful and vig orous. The most dangerous of all ras cals is the man Jwho disguises himself under a cloak of good character, and continues in crime the more easily be cause of his unmerited reputation. The proposition that jus ice should be large ly tempered with mercy for such crimi nals is false in logic and hurtful in ex ample. If leniency is to le exercised, it snonia ne in iK-half of the inrn.irarit of- fender, not the cultivated rogue. The I I. III. I v anureorrne courts in many . ; i . . States to ' impose adequate punishment or in many cases punishment at all upon high toned embezzlers and magnificent thieves has too often made justice a by word and a mockery. We need more Judge Biddies on the bench to send cultured thieves to their pro?er place. The fear of a long and certain impris onment is for this class a more effica cious deterrent from crime than any other consideration. The judicial sent iment which often tnrns them loose up on a community after a nominal expia tion is an affront to common sense as well as a menace to society. The Repatntlon eraSlaadard Article Is seldom Injured by surreptitious rivalry. Imitators of Hostetfer's Stomach Bitters have not only hist money hy attempting on demand competition with it, but have actu ally contributed to enhance the estimation tn which the genuine medicine Is held. The puhlir at large has for many years tteen ac quainted with the ear marks that distinguish the real from the spurious, and cannot be persuaded that other articles sold in a some what similar guise are equally good. Fever and aene, constipation, dyspepsia and liver complaint are not curable, hy cheap local bitters, eye opener and tonics, but the fact Is too well proven and too generally known to adroit of conscientious dispute, that for these and other maladies the great household medicme is a safe and thorough remedy. Not only in the United States, but in Mexi co, Sou'h America and the West Indies its merits are widely recognized and its reputa tion too firmly established to be shaken. my22.'85-lyr.

The little town of Montour, on the line of the Pittsburg and and Lake Erie railroad ten miles west of Pittsburg, is in a ferment of excitement over the discovery of what experts claim is genuine silver bearing quartz. The quartz was found by Superin tendent Kelly, of the Imperial Coke Compa ny, on the property of the company. He bad It assayed by Professor Hugo Blank, a prominent chemist there, who slates that It has $7.50 of silver to the ton. Of course it was only the surface croppings, and it is expected to be mch more valuable when it is mined. The lode la located about three miles from Montour, in a ravine at right angles from the river. Thoss who ought to know say the indications are that the 6trlke Is genuine.
