James J. IUrcxat. the oldest mem ber of the Philadelphia bar, and proba bly the oldest lawyer in the State, died on Sunday last at his home in that city, In the 01st rear of his age. He was a young soldier In the war of 1812, and was admitted to the bar in September. 1813. Tne New York Democratic State 'Committee met at Saratoga on Tuesday last, and decided to hold the State Con vention at that city, on Thursday, the 24th of September. Mr. Manning's res ignation as chairman of the committee was presented and Attorney Genera! John O'Brien was elected in his place. Michael Davitt instead of oppos Mr. Parnell at the approaching election in kIreland for new members of the House of Commons, as it was reported some time ago be intended doing, said In a public speech last week that he would put his shoulder to the wheel to Jhelp elect the Parnellite candidates. Tns Greenback State Convention which met at Erie last week, nominated Dr. N. C. Whitney, of Warren county, for State Treasurer. Twecty-one coun ties were represented by forty-two dele gates, the remaining counties being un represented, having apparently lost all interest iD the cause. Tfie Ilarrisburg Patriot remarks : WM C.rnvpr Cleveland, Presldennt of the UnitPd States, can travel all over the Adirondack woods with perfect safety on a bwkboard. with noo'her attendant than a driver, and no weapon of defence more for midable than a fishlnn rod, the powerful Ciar of Russia requires the railroad to be lined with soldier for liis protection when he makes a visit V his neighbor, the Empe ror of Austria. Such tying- the fact there Is evidently more comfort in beiDg a Presi dent Mian In being a Czar. William Allansox, who resided near Lafayette, Alabama, was bitten by a rattlesnake on last Sunday week. "Whiskey, the usual remedy in such ca ses, was prescribed foi him, but as he bad identified himself prominently with the Prohibition party he refused to tafce It, and died in great agony on the fol lowing Tuesday. The Prohibitionists throughout the country ought to erect a superb monument over the grave of such a voluntary martyr to their cause. Major John B. Guthrie, of Pitts burg, one of the best known Democrats in the State, who had been staying at Cresson for some weeks for the benefit of his failing health, died at that place on last Tuesday evening, aged 77 years, lie was a tall and stately looking man, of most striking presence, whose genial and pleasant manners made him hosts of ardent friends. Hw was Collector of Customs at Pittsburg under President Polk, and was twice elected Mayor of that city. He leaves behind him a name and reputation without spot or blemish. The Commissioner of the Land Office at Washington has prepared a list of the holders of public lands who fail within the terms of the President's late procla mation, requiring the removal of the barbed wire fences enclosing their un lawful possessions. The Commissioner only gives the fenced lands that have been surveyed and their illegal occupan cy established. In Colorado alone al most three millions of acres have been fenced in by corporations, and the ex tent of the grab in Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Kansas, Wyoming and Utah is almost beyond computation. The Pres ident has directed the military officers In command in the States and Territo ries in which this pillage of the public domain has taken place, to see that the fences are promptly taken down, and he literally means what he says. Tub schedules of? the assets and lia bilities of John Roach the Delaware county shipbuilder, were Qled In New York last week. They show his liablli tses to be about (to million and a quar ter of dollars, and bis actual assets near ly three million and a half, so that he was very near the truth when he stated after be had made an assignment of his property, that be would have two dol lars left over every dollar he owed. And yet Quay declared in an Interview that 1 loach's failure was the result of a conspiracy among leading Democrats at Washington, meaning Mr. Whitney. Secretary of the Navy, and Mr. Garland, the Attorney General, and that the pur pose of these gentlemen was to punish 1 loach, who is an Irishman, for having voted for Blaine. Quay expects that every Irishman in the State will believe this sluf-h and that they will all vote for him in November for State Treasurer, because John Iloach, the Irishman, was so utterly ruir.ed by Cleveland's Admin istration that ho is worth a million and atiar!.r aftei paying all his debts. TnE Chairman of the Republican State committee, Thomas V. Cooper, has of late been uttering a graat deal of nonsense In regard to what he claims are the leading issues involved in the election of State Treasurer, one of which he says is the "veto of apportionment bills when passed because they did not please the Governor." This is a very cool specimen of impudence on his part and is a direct impeachment of the loy alty of his own party friends in the low er branch or the Legislature, which contained 141 Republicans and GO Dem ocrats, the Republicans thus constitn ting seven more than tico-thinU of the membership of that body. And yet when the vote in the House was taken on Govornor Pattlson'a veto of the Con gressional apportionment bill, the Re publicans refused to pass it over the veto, although they had the numerical strength to do so, and seven votes to spare. This shows that Cooper's Re publican friends in the House as well as the Governor, were not "pleased" with the bill, and that they felt the full force of the Governor's objections to it as set forth In his veto. The veto it self was powerless to prevent the pas sage of the bill had it been fair and equi table ; but it was so objectionable that enough Republicans In the House voted to sustain tne Governor and thereby throttled it. As to tte Senatorial and Representative bill the Republicans in the Senate and in the House were so thoroughly ashamed of it, after its in iquity had been exposed bv Governor Pattison, that they never attempted to pass n over his veto, but permitted it to die an ignominious death. Cooper must get up some other issue than the vetoes of the two apportionment bills, and es pecially so for the reason that Qnay himself admitted that he had advised the Republican members of the House from his section of the State to vote in favor of sustainng the Governor. Although now seyenty-flve years of age Horatio Seymour thinks and writes with as much vigor as he did a quarter of a century ago. In a recent letter to a close personal friend the ex-Governor, after saying that he stil! takes an active interest In political movements, expres ses entire confidence in Mr. Cleveland and says that he believes he will make a successful and in the end a very popular President. The Administra tion moves slowly, but is it not wise and prudent to do so ? He might him self some years ago have preferred more active party measures than have yet been adopted, but he contents himself now with the knowledge that honest men are at the head of public affairs and that in good time all the minor of fices will be filled bv those whose hon esty is above suspicion and who are im bued with true Democratic principles. On one point Mr. Seymour expresses himself emphatically. He can see no single event in President Cleveland's public life which casts a doubt on his genuine Democracy, and he believes conQdently that as a man of brain and judgment the President must rec oguize the necessity of strengthening the Democratic party, and the folly of putting dangerous weapons into the hands of any men whose sentiments prejudice them against Democratsc tra ditions and who may at any moment be found in opposition to the Democra cy. Mr. Seymour speaks of his closing life in language of touching simplicity. The venerable statesman and staunch Democrat ends an honorable public ca reer with a dignity and kindliness that prove that the people were right to trust and honor him. The Mahone papers in Virginia vir tually acknowledge in advance their defeat next November, by charging at this early stage of the camoaign that the Democrats intend, by some process not yet made public, to keep the colored people from the polls, and if they fail in this then a resort will be had to chang ing the ballots after the polls are closed. This is, perhaps as rational a method of explaining Mahone's defeat at the No vember election as any that his follow. ers are capable of inventing, but there is nothing new about it. The Mahone men asserted last year that the Demo crats had made all the necessary prepa rations to carry the State for Cleveland by a system of open and unblushing fraud, and although the campaign in that State was quite as exciting and as hotly contested as in any other, it was admitted after the struggle was over that a fairer or more peaceful election had never been held in the State. The charge of intended intimidation and fraud served their purpose at one time in explaining elections in the Southern States, but they are now as flat, stale and unprofitable as the once terrible bloody shirt cry has become in all the region north of Mason and Dixon's line. The Delaware county Record, a Re publican organ published in the connty which Thomas V. Cooper, Chairman of the Republican State Committee, represents in the State Senate, pays the following tribute to President Cleve land : Conservative, discreet and careful of movement, the President has evidently an ticipated this "hand-to hand fight with the bad elements of both parties" and was ready for the contest He may not always have scored a victory, but he has demonstrated that In hisalma and put poses as evinced by his action be has ever cherished the Idea that good government, economically admin istered. Is tne greatest desideratum In the conduct of public affairs. The people of all parties and sections have watched bim and watched him narrowly, and from all parties and conditions of men comes the unequivo cal verdict of honest, faithful, manly en deavor to deal Justly with all and to conduct the Government with an eye single to the common zood. Every candid, honest, unbi ased man must admit this much, and the the admission Is proof that be has advanced rrom the mere chrysalis state of rancid, par tisan bigotry to the more realistic, broader and manlier ground of true Republican cit izenship the good of the people rather than transposing and bartering the popular weal for Individual gain and aggrandize ment. TnE Prohibition State Convention will meet at Ilarrisburg on Tuesday next, and the Democratic State Conven tion will meet at the same place on the day following.

It is pretended by the advocates' of monopoly that there ia no power in the people of Pennsylvania to enforce the provisions of their organic law forbid ding such conspiracies as that which is now iu process of consuuiation between the Pennsylvania Kailroau Company and William II. Vanderbilt. If this were true, then the Constitution of Pennsylvania was adopted in 1873 to lit tle purpose, and the people of this great State are indeed in a helpless condition. But those who make the assumption concerning the feebleness of the people in the presence of corporate aggression have not considered the latent powers which reside in the organic law of Penn sylvania. The Constitution declares : "The exercise of the right of eminent do main shall never be abridged or so con strued as to prevent the General Assem bly from taking the property and fran chises of incorporated companies and subjecting them to public use, the same as the property of individuals : and the exercise of the police power of the State shall never be abridged or so construed as to permit corporations to conduct their business in such manner as to in fringe the equal rights of individuals or the general well-being of the State." These are the great powers which lie behind the provisions of the Constitution of Pennsylvania in restraint of the en croachments of railroad corportaions. Subject to these power8t.be charter of the South Pennslyania Railroad Com pany was granted. Under the charter, and in the exercise of the privilege of eminent domain conferred by the State, the company entered upon the lands of the people along the route of the railroad and apppropriated them to its use. That charter, which was granted by the Legislature in the good faith of the Commonwealth for the purpose of con structing a line of railroad, is in pro cess of perversion from its original de sign, and has become justly subject to forfeiture under the above power, which Is inherent in the people. When an in dividual attempts with his property to defeat some necessary pubic enterprise the State appropriates it in the exercise of the power of eminent domain. How much greater the necessity for the en forcement of this power when a corpo ration acting in bad faith toward the people seeks to defeat the purpose of its grant 1 This great power has been lying dor mant because no great occasion has arisen for its exercise. For the first time since the adoption of the new Con stitution is a gigantic attempt made to convert the franchises of a railroad cor-1 poration to purposes hostile to the con ditions of the grant. For the first time j is it necessary to invoke the police pow er of the Commonwealth so that a cor poratiou which the Legislature has cal led into being shall not infringe "the equal rights of individuals or the well being or the State." The Pennsylva nia Railroad Managers may conclude this bargain with Vanderbilt, but they should be warned in time that they are getting possession of a charter which is forfeited under the Constitution of the Commonwealth from the moment it falls into their bands. Vanderbilt and his family may carry off their share of the plunder of this conspiracy, but it will become the duty of the next Legis lature to declare the forfeiture of the charter of the South Pennsylvania Rail road Company and to take possession of the property and franchises of the cor poration. In declaring this forfeiture it will be necessary to legislate so as to annul all the pretended privi.eges ac quired in the conspiracy with Vander bilt, as well a to protect the rights of the stockholders who are acting in good frUth toward the Commonwealth and are desirous of accomplishing the ob jects of thv charter. It will be the fault of the parties to this conspiracy it the latent but tremeudous power of the Constitution of Pennsylvania is sum moned into exercise, and they should not complain when brought into contact with its sharpest spikes. They have am ple warning of the danger upon which they are running. Philadelphia Record. The Catholic Temperance Movement. On Wednesday of last week the fif teenth annual convention of the Catho lic Total Abstinence Union of America was held at New Haven. It was at tended by about twenty-five hundred members from all parts of the United States, After formally opening in a public hall, the delegates proceeded to St. Mary's church, where high Mass was celebrated by Bishop McMahon, of Hartford, and subsequently they marched in an imposing procession thro' the sreets of the town. In the evening a great meetiug was held, Bishop McMahon presiding. Ad dresses were made by priests which re called the oratory of the days when the temperance agitation was moat active. Statistics presented showed that this Total Abstinence Union already num bers about forty thousand members, and the speakers looked forward to the time when that number would seem insig nificant in comparison with the host that would be gathered in. This temperance movemedt is all the more significant because it is altogether religious and wholly within the Roman Catholic Church, and refuses absolute ly to lend itself at all to the purpose of any political party. Yet, as Father Burns expressed it, "it would be strange indeed, if any total abstinence man should exercise his rights as a citizen in such a manner as to encourage the very evil which, as a member of the Union he is trying to suppress." "We must be the uncompromisng enemies of the liquor traffic." he said further, and it was "with 9orrow and shame" that he saw "so many of those professing our holy religion engaged in this mean and debasing business of selling liquor " which he regards as one of the greatest obstacles to the growth of that religion In this country. "The saloon." contin ued Father Burns, "is the recruiting office of the Devil, of blasphemy and of infidelity. It is the duty, therefore, of all who love God and the Church to op pose the influence of the saloon." "Let us see to it," said Father Connerty, of Worcester, "that it is no longer thrown In our faces that we Irish are a nation of drunkards." The warfare that this Union is wag ing against the liquor traffic is not merely the attack of a few thousand en thusiastic total abstainers, who are fight ing on their own account, but it Is con ducted under the express sanction and with the full encouragement of the authorities of the great Church to which thfy belong. The late Plenary Council at Baltimore, in its pastoral letter spe cially instructed priests "to induce all of their flocks that may be engaged in trie sale of liquor to abandon as soon as they can the dangerous traffic, and to embrace a more becoming way of mak ing a living.

From our regTilar Correspondent. WAsnixoTOX, August 17, ISSo. Life is comparitively easy in Wash inzton iu3tnow. The heat of last week has subsided from fifteen to twenty de I gress. Men have resumed their col j lars, neck-ties and oats. Women have resumed hut I cannot go into par ; ticu'ars. The President has taken to i the wo-kIs. The Cabinet id divided I geographically only. The Postmaster General is in Madison, Wisconsin. The ! Secretary of War is in Salem. Mass. The Secretary of State oscillates be tween his home iu Delaware and the department in Washington . The other Secretaries, I believe, are at their posts, but I have fast returned t o Washing ton after a two weeks' absence, and I must make the confession, unparalled in journalism, that there are one or two things that I do not know. The work in all the departments has not been for years so well systemized and pushed as at present. This is the comment of all who' have long had busi ness with Pension, Patent, Land, Indian and other bureaus of the Government service. Methods have been improved, abuses eradicated, barnacles have been scraped off; competent men have been appointed in places of drones and shirks; new life, new energy, and old fashioned honesty have been infused into the complicated and labyrinthine svstem through which the affairs of 55.000,000 of people are administered. That so much has been accomplished in five months is remarkable; but then it must be remembered that his has been done by 'traitors' and 'rebels' whose sole object, as predicted by the only truly good Republican party was to 'disrnpt; paralize, and ruin.' The wonderful changes which can be effected in a Government offioe by the introduction of thethoroughl y business methods, in place of the methods form erly in vogue, is strikingly apparent in the Pension office at this time. The working force of the bureau is 110 short of the full number employed under the old administration. Besides this, 214 of the clerks are absent on their an nual leaves, and there are thirty absent sick. Notwithstanding this decrease in the working fo-ce,amounting altogether to 354 clerks, the amount of work being done at the present time, without any lengthened hours or over-working of the force, is as large as was done by the full staff of clerks under Commissioner Dudley, and it is rapidly augmenting. Recently there has been one or two clerks, both Democrats and Republi cans, dismissed because they relied too much on their influence and not enough upon their record, but beyond this there have been but few changes recently. The loud and braggart glorification of the Republican party, when the count of money in the. Treasury department showed no loss, has not yet ceased to reverberate in the land, bnt that is not the way the truly good officials of the truly good party have replenished their exchequers. Investigations now pend ing, and others that the country will bear of soon, will convince the most skeptical that an examination of the books, and an elimination of the crooks have come none too soon. The Repub licans are trying to take political com fort from the fact, as they put it, that the implicated officials who were lately dismissed from the Coast Survey office are all Democrats. This is not true; but even if it were so, it is not easy to see how the cause of Republicanism is helped any by the discovery. The fact remains that whatever irregularities ex isted were continued under Republican rule, and that it remained for a Demo cratic Administration to expose them and apply the necessary corrective. The country is not so much concerned just now about the politic? of individual rascals, as it is in hiving rascalities stopped. It is upon the latter point that the record will be made up. W. What Will They Oo About It I Before the nomination of Quay the Philadelphia Prc.? and other Republi can newspapers distinctly warned the party of the probable consequences. They informed the Ring managers that self-respecting Republicans, however strong in their paitisanhip, could not be expected to vote for a man of his an tecedents and reputation. They asked "What are conscientious Republicans to say in defense, when men point to the jobbery and corruption of the old State Ring, to the shameless plunder of the state treasury under Kemble, Mackey and Quay, to the rail road schemes to rob the sinking fund, and to keen the nonnla ih Mm otiar-fc lea of monopoly, to the Riot Bill villainy, and to the infamons pardon of the con victed criminals; all of which are rep resented bp Quay, who is avowedly nominated because he does represent them," This is substantially what was said by the better class of Republican jour nals before the nomination. They did not particularly develop these monstrous scandals, because they were matters of history and general notoriety. But the old managers of the Treasury Ring and the railroad lobby paid no at tention to the Press and its coadjutors. They declared that the people were t'.red of honesty and economy and de cency in official life; that the masses of the Republican party sighed for a com plete reinstatement of the Ring bosses and would be satisfied with nothing less than the nomination of the most dis reputable of the lot; that they wanted machine rule, machine methods, with all that they imply, including the morals of the Riot Bill enterprise and of the Quay pardon board; and that they particularly desired an eminent exem plar of "addition, division and silence," at the head of the treasury, so as to re vive the old system of plunder In all its ancient perfection. They bad their way. They nominated Quay in spite of the avalanche of pro tests, and, to be entirely consistent, the committee on resolutions sat down heavily and incontinently upon Senator Emery's mild little anti-discrimination resolution, thns giving due notice that the Republican party was formaily com mitted to railroad monopoly as well as to official profligacy. And now what are tne people going to do about it? When Wm. M. Tweed, with insolence no greater, asked this question, Samuel J,Tilden, Charles O' Conor,and the tax-payers of New Yerk, without distinction of party, furnished bim an unexpected answer. Lancaster Intelligencer. The Prkstdknt and the Spoils men. The fact is that the President has but to stand firm and he has a habit of doing that and the difficulties in his party will gradually and certainly disappear, unless the spoilsmen are guilty of a degree of folly that is hardly conceivable and force the quarrel, in which case the people will resolve it. Thus far the President has been true to the pledges he has made without in any degree betraying the real interests of his party, to which be is sincerely and honorably attached. It would be the last degree impracticable to make an issue with him on which his opponents would have the ghost of a chance. Tf they do not think so they have only to go one step further and it will b9 proved to them. Ren. Bctler, it is said, is going to make a speech endorsing the Adminis tration. He can hardly expect to in dnce the Massachusettes Democracic State Convention by such blandishment to nominate him for Governor again. That joke hns its day, and to repeat it would be giving it something of the character of a chestuut. SEWS AND OTHER K0TISGS.
