Tuesday last was the day fixed by tbe Dauphin county Court for hearing the South Pennsylvania railroad injunc tion case. The counsel of the Pennsyl vania railroad, however, were not pre pared to go into the argument, and on their application the matter was contin ued until Tuesday, the 29th instant. Governor IIoadly opened his cam paign in Ohio on Saturday last at Ham ilton, Bntler couiity, by an exhaustive speech to a crowd of ten thousand en thusiastic Democrats. Judging from this masterly effort or the Governor there will not be much left of John Sherman and Foraker, the Republican candidate for Governor, both of whom ar runuinjr the campaign on the bloody shirt issue, after be gets through with them. In the course of his speech Gov. IIoadly spoke of the Administration of President Cleveland as follows : "Mr. Cleveland has held office six months. Congress, has not been in session, ye- much; run been arrnmplisbed. The spirit of reform and economy has entered all the depart ments. Useless offices and expanses have been done away, while the performance of duty, civil and military, has been enforced. The Government is not solicitous to provide Soft places for pets, bnt to save money for the jCP'e and to keep the faith pledged in the platform. For adamantine cheek always give ns Thomas V. Cooper, Chairman of the Republican State Committee, who seems to have forgotten two important facts, one of which is that there is no longer a Republican Administration at Wash ington, and the other that there is an act of Congress against soliciting ron tributions for political purposes in the public offices at the Nat'.onal Capital or elsewhere. In this state of mind he has issued a circular begging for money to defray the expenses of the present cam paign In this State, and has mailed copies of the same to the Republican clerks In the different departments at Washington. It is maintained at Washington that Cooper, by sending Lis clrculais to employes in the departments to be delivered by letter carriers in Gov ernment buildings, has violated section 12 of the Civil Service act, which reads as follows : Section 12. Tbat no person shall in any boildiDK occupied In the discharge of official duties by any officer or employe of the United States mentioned In this act, in any navy yard, fort or arsenal, solicit in any manner whatever, or receive any contribu tion In money or any other thing of value for any political purpose whatever. There is a severe penalty prescribed for a violation of this section, and tbe question whether Cooper's circular brings him within the penal provisions of the act has been raised by the Inte rior department sending one of the cir culars to the Civil Service Commission for such action as it may deem proper. Potting this question aside, it is as cer tain as can be that Cooper won't get as much money through his circular from tbe Republican clerks at Washington as would bay him a mess of oysters. Isn't his impudence, however, refreshing ? and that, too, under tbe plea, as stated in the circular, that "if tbe Republicans of Pennsylvania win a decisive victor this year it will prevent any agita tion or disastrous change in tbe tariff by tbe incoming Congress and pave the way for tbe overthiow of the Demo cratic State and Rational Administra tions." Upon what a slender thread do great results depend t Here is the spokesman of his party telling the vo ters of this State, who will decide by their billots next November whether Conrad B. Day, an honest, upright busi ness man, or Matthew S. Quay, a noto rious lobbyist at Harrisburg'in the in teiest of corrupt legislation, such as the rhiladeIphia:Recorder;bil, shalljbejthe next State Treasurer, that upon the re sult of tbe election hangs tbe fate of tbe tariff, as well as the "overthrow" of Cleveland's and Pattison's Administra tions. In all this trash Cooper as aufies that the voters of this State are all f'K!s, but it may turn out in the end fcbit tba genuioe foil will ba found to 'he head and front of the Re- " .,i.Hati S'afe V-.mmiLte'e i It was discovered at Harriaburg on Saturday last that the joint resolution introduced into and supposed to have been passed by the late Legislature sub mitting to the people an amendment to tbe Constitution fixing tbe population of judicial districts at 60,000 instead of 40,000 never became a law, from the fact tbat it was defeated in the House, the vote standing, yeas 85, nays 37, the bill thus lacking 16 votes of 101, the number required by the Constitution. It is supposed that In the hurry and confusion of the last day of the session the bill was hastily gathered np with other bills, signed by the Speakers of both bouses and then laid before the Governor, who permitted it to become a law by not acting on it within thirty days after the adjournment. The amendment has been published during th e last six weeks or two months in al most every paper In the State, by order of the Secretary of the Commonwealth in pursuance of a Constitutional man date, and will cost the State a verv i handsome sum of money. It seems in comprehensible how this bill could bave been presented to the presiding officers of both houses for their signatures in the face or the fact that it had never passed the House. Some officer of the j House has been inexcusably careless In performing his duty, and if the blame can be properly located he ought to be made tafEer. The next Legislature will have to start in the Dew if the proposed amendment is a wise proposition to in corporate in the Constitution. We have heretofore expressed our belief that it is not. If the number of inhabitants ne cessary to constitute a judicial district is to be enlarged beyond the present re quirement, every consideration of pub lic policy requires that the increase Bhould largely exceed, sixty thousand. The Johnstown Tribune of Tuesday last in referring to the publication in the newspapers by the State Department of the amendment to the Constitution relating to; judicial districts, although it Dever passed the nousesays : "And this is a reform Administration that illegally advertises an amendment to the Constitution through stupidity. Dot knowing that they were doing so nntil informed of it by a newspaoer, thus making the State pay thousands of dollars for advertising unnecessarily." The "Btupidity" connected with the sup posed passage of the bill through the House can't be charged to the Governor who permitted the bill setting forth the amendment to become a law, nor to the Secretary of the Commonwealth whose duty it was to cause its publica tion. The bill came to the Governor through the regular channel from a Republican House presided over by a Republican Speaker a House whose chief clerk, assistant clerk and all its transcribing clerks are loyal Republi cans. This being true, any plain common-sense man will conclude that it was the special business of at least one, if not more, of the clerks to see to it that a bill which had not passed the House should not be presented to the Speaker for his signature. When the amendment was laid before him the Governor had a tight to infer that it had passed the House regularly, and his Secretary had a right bo to believe when he directed its publication. The "stupid ity" in tbe matter imputed by the Trib une to the Governor and Mr. Stenger, must therefore be borne by the Repub lican clerks in the House, who are re sponsible for the undivided disgrace attaching to the blunder. pRonABLY tbe oldest man in the United States is Martin Ewing, a col ored man who lives with his sen near Dalton, Missouri. He was born in Prince Edwards county, Virginia, some time in 1765 and is therefore about 120 years of age. He has been in the Ew ing family, whose name he took, ever since his birth, bis first owner having been James Ewing, the grandfather of John J. and S. P. Ewing, both of whom reside close to where Martin lives. Col. James Ewing, who Jived in the same county in Missouri (Chariton) as John J. and S. P. Ewing, above referred to, died In 1S59 at the age of 84. He often stated to his family that this col ored man, Martin Ewing, was his nurse and that he was a good many years older than himself. Martin has always said that Col. Ewing was brought to his master's house a very small boy, and that his (Martin's) business was to nurse him. Martin says he was old enough at that time to plow corn. Allowing the Colonel to have been two years old when he came to Martin's master, James Ewing, and Martin to be twelve, it makes him now 120, as Col. Ewing would be 110 if now living. Martin's memory is still good and his mind clear. He has lost but few teeth and his eye sight is good, ne bas had six wives has smoked and chewed tobacco for 110 years, and always drank whiskey when he could get it, thoueh he has not been drunk since he passed his 85th year. He don't claim to bave been a body servant of Gen. Washington, and has no recol lection of ever having seen him. He is very religious, but insists that religion doesn't do people near as much good as it did a hundred years ago. The Presidentfreturned to Washing ton from the mountains of Northern New York ou last Monday morning af ter a mon th's absence, and at once re sumed the discharge of his official du ties with all the care and diligence that have so conspicuously marked his daily life ever sicca the fourth of March. The amount of labor he is capable of performing is regarded at Washington as being very remarkable, and rarely. If ever before, displayed at the White nouse. "The Ohio election," says the Pitts bnrg Dispatch, a RepubMcan paper, "started out with the ausnices In fvnr of the Republican party. But let Sher man and Foraker make a few more speeches and they will be likely to achieveHhe unenviable record of having defeated themselves with all the odds in their favor." Seventy-two years ago yesterday was fought t ha memorable battle of Lake Erie, in which Oliver Hazzard Perry, who was then but twenty-seven years old, defeated the British squad- ruu commanded by Commodore iJar- The hisroi r contains no blacker page than the slaughter on Wednesday of last week, of between twenty and fifty Chinese coal miners at Rock Springs, in Wyoming Territory, on the line of the Pacific rail road. Between four and five hundred Chinamen and about one hundred and fifty white men were employed as miners at that point and its vicinity, and as the Chinese worked for less wages than tbe white miners, the latter ordered the former to leave in an hour. The Chi namen commenced getting ready to obey the order as soon as they saw tbe whites supplying themselves with guns, revolvers and hatchets, and when they fled toward the mountains with the few effects they hastily carried from their houses, they were ruthlessly and brutal ly shot down by the mob of white ruf fians. It is estimated that between twenty and fifty fell victims to this mer ciless attack. In response to the ap peal of the Governor of Wyoming the War Department sent two companies of troops from another point in the Territory to the scene of the massacre. At last accounts between twenty and twenty-five of the ringleaders in the butchers bad been arrested and put in prison. It is to be hoped that they will be visited with the full penalty of the law for their brutal and savage conduct. In a four-column article of "memo ries" of General Grant contributed by George W. Childs, of the Philadelphia Lethjer, to the Press, of that city, he re fers to Grant's course in regard to the case of Fitz John Porter as follows : "I spoke to him duriug the early stages of it, at a time when his mind had been preju diced by some around bim, and he was very busy. Afterwards, when he loeked into the matter he said he was only soiry that he had so long delayed going at the examina tion as he ought to have done. He felt tbat if ever roan was treated bad l Porter was. He had examined the case most carefully, gone over every detail, and he was perfect ly well satisfied that Porter was right. He wanted to do even thing in his power to have him righted, and his only raret was that he should have neglected so long and allowed him to rest nnder injustice. There are few men who would take a back track as General Grant did so publicly, so deter minedly and so conptstantly right through. 1 bad several talks with him, and be was continually reiterating his regrets that he bad not done Justice to Porter when he had the opportunity. He never ceased to the day of his death from his right to speak and ! write in favor of Porter. He ran counter to a great many of his political friends in this matter, but his mind was absolutely clear. Not one man in a thousand would go bark on his record in such a matter, especially when he was not in accord with the Grand Army or his strong politicol friends. Grant weot into the matter mos. carfully, and his publications show how thoroughly he exam ined the subject, but be never wavered af ter his mind was fixed. Then he set to work to repair the injury done Porter. If Grant had had time to examine it while he was President be would have carried It through. That was his great regret. He felt that while he had the power he could have passed it and he ought to have done It. When Grant took pains and time to look in to the matter no amount of personal feeling or friendship for others would prevent bim from doing the rigl-.t thing. He could not be swerved from the right." A Warning to Boys, The prevalence of cigarette smoking, especially bv boys and women, has nat urally attracted the attentior of physi cians and others in a position to trace its deleterious effects. As a fashiona ble vice it has made rapid inroads from the street into the fashlomble parlors of the cities. It has been pronounced by high medical authority t be a enrse of the lar.d as having a damaging effect upon the health of the rising generation. Hut new and conclusive evidence of the evil effects of this vice comes from a practical quarter. In the United States Navy every year there are taken a num ber of apprentice boys who are sent all over the world and taught to be good sailors. Hundreds of boys aply, but many are rejected because they cannot pass the physical examination and the Government will have only sound boys. Major Houston, of the Marine Corps, who is in charge of the Washington Na vy Yard barracks, is authority for tbe statement that one-flfih of all the boys examined are rejected on account of heart disease. His first question to a boy who desires to enlist if, "Do you smoke ?" The in variable answer is "So, sir," bnt the tell-tale discoloration of the fingers at once shows the truth. The surgeons say that cigarette smoking by boys pro duces heart disease, and that in ninety nine cases out of a hundred the rejection of would be apprentices on account of this defect comes from excessive use of the milder form of the weed. This is a remarkable statement, coming as it does from so high an authority and based upon the results of actual exam ination, going ou day after day and month after month. It is a warning to parents that the deadly cigarette is sure to bring about incalculable injury to the young. The Scientific American, which gives these facts, adds "that boys in dulging in the cigarette ought to be treated to liberal doses of 'rod in pickle' until the habit is thoroughly eradica ted." The President's Good-Bye to the Woods. President Cleveland has got back to Washington with renewed vigor for the arduous work that awaits him until Congress adjourns uext sum mer. His outing was of a peculiar character, and shows the sturdy man hood of the President. Putting aside the welcome awaiting him at every re sort in the Union, accompanied by two friends he tramps into the "wilderness primeval," buries himself in the pine woods, and seeks relaxation from care and invigorated mind and body in the gentlest of sports. His good-bve to th people at the Prospect House, where he rendevoused after his return from the mountain, is given as follows in a World special : "President Clevelaud spent Friday evening in the parlors, conversing with his friends and taking an interest in the games of the ladies and children. Sst urdy morning, notwithstanding the rain, the household were up early, and and boats began to arrive from tbe camps on the opposite bank of the lake. The President breakfasted at 8 o'clock and on leaving the dinig room every one rose and followed bim to the piazza, where he shook hands with them, say ing something pleasant to each one as he recognized them, and leaving a most favorable impression opon everyone. Jast before leaving, Mr. Harry w! Brown, of Germantown, Pa., gave ex pression to the unanimous sentiments of the guests In the following remarks : Now, then, ladies and gentlemen bats off and all bands on deck to pay respects. Three rousing cheers for Gra ver Cleveland, Chief Magistrate, and may he be prospered in his noble work and then three cheers more for Mr' Cleveland, the kind hearted, onaffected gentleman, whose genial presence has uju Luis a memoracie summer. -and who has won all our hearts. God bless him ! The cheers were given heartily, and the guides nnder the command of George Derby were drawn up in line and presented arms as tbe President passed, and fired a Presidential salnte afterwards. The steam whistle of Mr Cook's yacht blew its parting respects', bells were rung as the carriage contain ing the President and Dr. Ward, with Paul Smith as driver, disappeared in the woods," WASH1SUT05 LL1TLK. From oar regular Oorrcspuuue..-. WAsnrNOTON, September 2, 1885. President Lincoln U3ed to say that he looked under his bed every night for concealed office seekers. The present Administration, perhaps takes the same precaution. But is has also been look ing oyer and under the desks and books so long held by the truly too good Re publican party and the day that some long concealed fraud is not discovered is an exceptional day. The list has be come so lare that it can not well be canied around in ones mind. It will be interesting to see it written out In full and the amounts saved by the gov ernment added up. And yet, the good work carried on under great difficul ties, has hardly begun. Investigations are now in progress about which the public knows nothing, but their results will be disclosed in due time. It is well known that the work of dis covering and reforming fraud and abuses is hindered and frustrated by the Republican clerks, who surround the new Administration on all hands. How can they allow, much less assist witn enthusiasm, the work of their over throw, and how much more could be accomplished if the malefactors and their accomplices were turned out, and sincere sympathisers put in their places. The Republican clerks are doing every thing in their power to impede the work of iuvestigation and discovery. They are fertile in excuses and specious ex planations for the members of their party who haye gone wrong. I am told, on what seems to be pretty good authcrity, that the Civil Service Commission is likeiy to be re-organized in the interests of reform. If the half that is said is true it certainly needs it. An expense account of Commissioner Gregory has just been made public, which shows that this reformer, when he travels, charges the Government for the newspapers he reads and the 'tips' which the sleeping-car porters and the waiters at five-dollar-a-day hotels are given. It would seem to be straining a point for a reformer to make such charges as these under the clause of the law that provides for the pay ment of 'necessary traveling expenses.' If a Civil Service Commissioner is to have his 'tips' and newspapers paid for by the Government, where can it end? Why should not drinks and cigars be paid for as well. There are officials who might consider these necessary traveling expenses. But for a reformer who is getting fll.50 per day and his traveling expenses to charge the Gov ernment with five-cents apiece for the newspapers he reads and the two-Dit with which he fees a servant seems small indeed, and under the law it is little short of petit larceny. Wouldn't the Commissioner have to black his boots and read a newspaper if he was not traveling, or does he indulge in those luxuries simply while on the road? A prominent business man and Chair man of the Democratic Central com mittee at Cleveland, Ohio, was in this city last week. He said that every thing was looking particularly bnght for the Democrats iu that State. IIoad ly carried the State by 12,000 majority two years ago. And be thiuks he will have at least 20,000 this time. 'The Democracy,' he says, 'is united and harmonious. They appreciate the im portance of success, and the people see, since Sherman's bad freak at Mount Gi lead, that the Republicans have next to nothing to stand on except the bloody shirt issue. This has become tiresome and a large number of Republicans, who are disgusted with their party, but who do not exactly wish to vote the Demo cratic ticket, will vote for prohibition.' The return of the President to Wash ington will be tbe eignal for an exodus from the watering places. It is ex pected that all the members of the Cabinet will be in the city before the end of the week. Secretary Whitney is expected at tbe Navy department to day. Secietary Manning has returned to the Treasury department and is at work. Nobody knows where Secre tary Lamar is, or if he does know, he will not tell. He stole away last week and it is supposed that he is enjoying a brief rest within easy reach of the Cabi net table. Postmaster General Vilas has telegraphed that he is on his way East. Atty. General Garland has left his farm and log cabin in Arkansas, and is on his way to Washington. Secre tary Bayard has not been absent except on Sundays. What an Irish Parliament , Would Be. It may seem at fir3t sight hard to un derstand why London journals should profess so much amazement and indig nation at the formal announcement of the Irish Nationalist purpose which Mr. Parnell made at the Lord Mayor's ban quet in Dublin on Monday. In and out of Parliament he bas declared with in creasing clearness and determination that the Home Rulers would be satisfied with nothing short of a revival of Grat tan's Parliament, meaning by that term, of course, not the Irish Legislature of 1782 as it actually was during the brief period its existence, but as it would have been with all its ample powers of self improvement called into energetic ac tion. To no man in England or this country acquainted with the latent ca pabilities of this remarkable assembly should there be any matter for surprise iu the Parnellite demand that Ireland shall be permitted to enjoy that large measure of self-government whose coun terpart we see iu the Candian Domin ion. No one needs to be told that Grattan's Parliament represented at the outset nothing but the Anglican Establishment in Ireland, or, in other words, the frac tion of a fraction of Ireland's popula tion. Conceived as an index of Irish hope and feeling, it was the merest shadow of a shade. But though it found tbe mass of Irishmen In this helpless sit uation, it did not leave them there. Subject only, like the British Parlia ment, to tbe acquiescence of the Crown, it had absolute power over the IriBh franchise, and it might revolutionize its own defective Constitution. Nor did these powers long remain unexercised. So overwhelming was the pressure of disfranchised opinion that even during its short life this Anglican assembly found itself compelled to share the suf rage not only with Presbyterians, but Catholics an innovation which would swiftly and inevitably bring every spe cies of reform. This was as plain to Englishmen as Irishmen, and hence it was that G rattan's Parliament was strangled by the Act of Union. But if the stifled Legislature should now be recalled to life, it would proba bly begin, as it began in 1782, by accept ing the electoral conditions which al ready attain in Ireland. Inasmuch as the Home Rulers would be reasonably certain of controlling four-fifths of the seats at the first session, they could pro ceed to modify the franchise as ttey pleased. With no obstruction to be dreaded, then, on the Bcore of unfair representation, the sole questions of the moment to the new law makers would point to the scope and variety of the functions lodged in them. They would not need to go beyond the elastic and almost nnlimited authority of Grattan's Parliament. Tht assembly had exclu sive control of all matters relating to the tenure of land ; it was the absolute mistress of the police and of the nation al system of education. It controlled taxation and could levy duties both for revenue and for tbe encouragement of Irish manufactures. And it cnnirf da. termine what part of the expenditure incurred for imperial purposes should be defrayed bv irui- .m,rrmrmie to see such a I'.iilianiPtit :,s this ran oked once more at Dublin. They nev erdid like it, and there are now some cepUbTe than It'see'nifig J le?l' ago. Bnt just this, and nothing else" is what Mr. Parnell means to have ; and, as for several years past he has made no secret of his aim, why, it may be asked, should its renewed avowal at this junc ture provoke such an outburst of indig nation ? Because hitherto the affirma tions of Mr. Parnell have produced no more effect on the minds of English politicians than would the threat of a lawsuit bypersons notoriously destitute o:' the means of meeting the cost of lit igation. Because for the first time since the Act of Union four-fifths of Ireland's members are certain to work together, and will, as It is feared, be thus enabled to extort, by the menace of arresting tbe whole machinery of the Government, any concession, no matter how subversive and exorbitant. More over, it has been before supposed tbat Mr. Parnell was appealing for much more than he really expected to obtain, and that he could at any time be paci fied with some partial improvements in county administration, and by transfer- nunmosioi tne viceregal functions to a Secretary of State for Ireland. Mr. ParnelPs speech at Dublin has dismayed the Ixmdon newspapers, not only because it revealed his conscious ness of the ahilirv In an hi our a Ttritinh Government to pressure that will proba bly prove irrsistible, but also because it has convinced them that be means pre cisely what he savs when he calls for Grattan's Parliament.
