The sub-committee of the House Committee on the election of President and Vice President has reported favora bly to the full commiitee. the joint re solution offered by Mr. Maisb, o? this State, proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States for the election of the President and Vice President by a direct vote of the people. The jury in the long contested Col umbus, Ohio, tally sheet case, to wbich we referred last week, came into court on Friday lat and announced that they had failed to agree, adding there to that there was positively no chance of an agreement being reached. The Judge thereupon discharged them. This and numberless cases of a similar char acter show that it is almost impossible in this country to convict of a criminal charge politicians of "icilooence" or a man of wealth. The times arj out of joint. "Jake" SiiAitr, wuosa conviction on the charge of having corruptly bought several members of the New York Hoard of Alderuieu ic, 1S4, was set aside by the Court of Appeata, is to be tried agaiu. The District Attorney said on Tuesday lust : "I intend to move the trial of Jacob SUarp ia the court of ( )jer and Terminer ou Monday next. His counsel have been notified and have in turn notified me that they will move for a chiuge of venue." Jacob is afraid to trust his fate to a jury in a city wberuhe is so well known. If he was an honest man he couid stand up Tearleisry a;ii deUautly before the whole world. Hut Us is not built that way. Two State Elections will take place next month. Ithoda IsIauJ will vote for State officers and membsrs of the Legislature on Wednesday next, and Louisiana will g. through tha samo process on the 17th. Thb Democrats elected their caaaidate for Governor in llhode Island a year ago and think they can do so this yuar. although the S;ate is Republican. Trie campaign in Lou isiana is exceptionally bitter, the Re publican candidate for Governor being Henry C. Warmouth, and bis Demo cratic opponent ex Governor Xlcholls. Both are men of ability aud while the State is sure to go IVmxiratic in No vember, local issues may eeriouily uter fcre with Xicholls' success. William Dousiieimeu, publisher and editor of the New York Sttr, a leading Democratic paper, died at Savannah, Georgia, on last Monday night, while on a pleasure trip in the South. lie was years of age - became a Democrat In 1S7J when Horace Greely was the Democratic candidate for President, acd in 1S74 was elected Lieutenant Governor of New York on the ticket with Samuel J.

He held this position only a few months, resigning to devote bis en tire time to the W new?paper, of which he assumed the management in the beginning of 1SS. Morrison- K. Waite, Cnief Justice of the United State. , died suddenly in Washington, on Saturday last. He wan born in Connecticut in 1S10 and arur his admission to the bar at Manmee City, Ohio, he settled down at Toledo in that State. He was appointed Chief Justice in 171 by President Grant to succeed Chief Justice Chase who died in 1S7X He was not specially d'rttinguish ed as a lawyer while at the Toledo t ar, but ha was regarded as an t mint ntly sound, safe and conservative head cf the Supreme Court.

' I In a case ttforcj Hi Supremo Court of the United States last week growiLg out of the Iowa prohibitory liquor law which forbids any transportation com pany from carrying liquor into that State unless it shall have been furnished with a certificate of the auditor of the county to which such liquor in to ba transported shewing that the consignee is legally authorized to sell it, the court in declaring the statute unconstitu tional, said : "The power to regulate or forbid the sale of a commodity after it has een brought into the State, does not carry with it the right and power to prevent its introduction by transporta tion from another State." In regard to this decision the Philadelphia Times remarks : The power of a State to pass laws prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors within its bor ders bas been upheld by a recent de cision of the Supreme Court of the United States. But the same court on Monday made another decision that knocks a large bole in the wall that prohibition s;ates like Iowa and Kansas are trying to rear against the liquor trntH?. The Iowa statute prohibits a railroad company from carry liquor into that State unless furnished with a cer tificate from the Auditor of the county to which the consignment isceatined. declaring that the cousignee baa a right to sell it. The Chicago and North western Kail way refused to accept a shipment of 5,W.0 barrels of beer unless accompanied by the certificate required by law, pleadiug tho statute as justifi cation for the refusal. The case was carritd to the Supreme Court, which decides the law unconstitutional, as in terfering with the freedom of commerce between the States, and hoMs the com pany liable for its refusal to carry the beer. The decision is to the effect that a State has no power to prohibit the importation from another State of any article of commerce. Under this ruling a State may deprive its citizens of home made stimulants, but cannot prevent their getting drunk on liquor manufac tured in another State, if they wish to. Gen. Georoe W. Cass, who was so well-known in Weatern Pennsylvania, and especially in Pittsburg died laet week in New York City. He was born in Ohio in 1810 and was a nephew of Lewis Cass, who was the Democratic candidate for President in 1S4S against Gen. Zachary Taylor. He was educated in Detroit where bis uncle resided and entering the United States Military Academy at Wes; Point be graduated with distinguished honor in 1S.'J2. After a tew years be resigned from the army and subsequently filled several civil positions of l.or.or and responsibility, making Pittsburg bis borne. Iu l-?j he was a very prominent candidate fcr the Democratic nomination for Gov ernor of this State and was only defeat ed at the State Convention by Asa Packer by a few votes, one of which was cast by a delegate from an adj.-iu-ing county to Cambria against tho m ist explicit instructions iu favor of Gen. Casa. He was a man of wealth and for many years has lived quietly in New York respected and honored by all who enjoyed bis acquaintance. Tortinxo the appointment of a successor to the late Chief Justice Waite, the Washington City Coital says : President Cleveland will not be in a hurry to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Bench. Tlie present term of the Court has but a few weeks lenaer to continue, but it could not be expected that the President would make an appointment at Jonce. It is not hkely tlut the new Chief ustice will be appointed tefore mid summer ; but it ia quite certain that some appointment will be made trfore Corgress adjourns, as the S-uate Judi diary Committee formally notified the 1'ienident in t!ie Lacombe case mat lis members entertained doubts iu ir.ard to the power of ihe President to nuke appointments during a recsi of the Senate. It is also proper to Bay that nearly all of the gentlemen whose names ere mentioned in the papers yesterday are for one cause or another ineligible. Thurtnan, Bayard, Phelps, Geoerai Palmer, and several others, are out of the question on account of their aize. It is also safe to say that the President will not seek to accomplish any po!iU cal result in filling this position, ut that he will select the ablest and most satisfactory mu whom be can find tor it.

Eacb striker is on the pay roll of the Brother hood, the amount paid to each man out of ths treasury being estimated at the rate of 510 per month. The Kiver and Harbor bill was re ported to the House at Washington on yesterday. It is the largest bill of the kiud ever before reported and aggre jrVes nineteen aid a half millions cf dollars, which is more than tbe mem orable bill vrtoed by President Arthur. It wns rn?hed through the House. I y the vicious and corrupt system of legis lation known as "logrolling." The President has not the Constitutional power, as the Governor of this and some other Stu-.es ha, of apprvhig one or more auctions of an appropriation bill and disapproving others, but must c-ithci sign the bill as a who! or veto it.

Au luterefttliii; Debate. In the Senate or tne United States on Tuesday of last week, the bill introduc ced by Mr. Blair, the New IImpshire "Crank." giving preference for c'vil service app-intm"ut (among men who had been disloyal during the war) to tboee who had served in the Confederate army, and who were sufferirg from wounds or disabilities, came up on secor.d reading. Several Southern Sen ators, among them Wade Hampton, of South Carolina. Mr. George, of Mississ ippi, and Mr. Daniel, the new S-nator from Virginia, who succeeds Matione, spoke in opposition to the bill, for the reason that th S.u-h hadn't akej for it and didn't waut it. Gen. Hawley, liepublican, of Connecti cut, also made a few patriotic remarks compliment ine Mr. Dtniel for his man ly and concilatory epeeeh Below will be found what Mr. Daniel and Gen. Hawley stid : Mr. Dtnlel siii tht It the question ws one of courtesy or of discourtMv to the Seo ator who bad introduced the bill there would be no doubt in his tuind as to how he should vote. He felt lncpable of c O'er leg disronrteav to any Senator, and .ertaioly tie should eo vei y far to avoid doing so toward one who had been Inspired by such a mag nanimous and generous sentiment as that which the Senator from New Hampshire had exhibited. ltut no puolie qneetlon could ever be be'ltiled bv a question of courtesy. The question before the Jsenate was the propriety of the consideration of the bill. If it hd Lone to a committee In due course, without vote or comment, no one would have felt that there was anything improper in It : hut since a question bad been made upon it. at qustin had to be met; and he trusted tliat no ex-Confederate oi the Senate would dode that queHtion. although. 1ouMlev his emotion might In cline him to do so If he (Daniel) could with propriety decline to vote on the ques tion he would do so. becau.se. in his judg ment. It did n"t become a Confederate soldier to ask the United States Government for any peculiar ripht or privilege. The Confederate soldier had boldly laid down the gauntlet of war. and when he came out of the war he had contempt for but two classes of men engaged In It first, thosa who made apologies ; and second, those who demanded them. Cne-tions of great International strife and great social conflicts never decended to personalities, but were KOern?d by the great philosophies of rninon existence. He had no doubt that the Senator from Newhampshire had Intro duced the bill In a spirit of benevolence, kindness and generosity : but It had not been called for by any Confederjte. nor bad it grown nut of the demands of public sen tiraent. The wle legislation of the world was generally that which had public opinion behind it. There had been no public dis cussion of th's subject. There had been no wide debate about it either North or South. The Senator from New Hampshire had stated that l.e originated the bill, and he (Daniel) ventured to believe that Its origin was entirely confined to the lucubrations of the Senator's own mind. While be had great respect for that Senator, he couid not feel that in this instance he (Blair) bad acted wisely or in consonance with the pub lie spirt of the country. All that .h Con federate soldier asked from the United States was that he should stand equal be for a its laws and et'cuul have a fair oppoitun ity to work out his own salvation. He would venture to sav tha there was not a town or hamlet from the Potomac to the Ilio (rande nht-re a Confederate soldlr-r was to t been in rags or tatters or begging his bread in its streets. There was not a palace or hut wlirre the Confederate soldier was not always a welcome and honored guest. There was no danger of any honorable aud true man. however humble be might be. or however small his fnitune. dying on the road.-ide because no gt o I Samaritan would come by to lend him a helping hand. All thai tlie ex Confederates aaked was not special privileces. but to be respected In their rights of American citizenship, whicn they Lad assumed knowingly and intention ally, and which they intended to abide bv I ftiod helping them) in such a manner that ; no man could justly lift agiinst them tlm linger or scorn or apply to them au insultiu? epithet. Mr. Hawley expressed himself as person ally grateful to the S-natoi from Virginia (Daniel) for his n.anly and ctate,m&n:ike speech. There had been nothing so disa gieeable in coaa-ction with the bid as its introduction by the Senator fro?n New Hampshire, and if bill bad been referred to a committee without notice he should not have cared about the question leing raised, preferring to wait for the report of the committee. Uut the point l ad been rr.ade, a?;d t'.ere wss no proprsition in the bill wl.ic'i could nut b? just as well under stood and ated on now as if there were a long report from a eo-nmittee upon It He thought that the bill was. fundamentally, a mistake. JI not only disclaimed any feel ing uf hatred toward those who had been I Conrederates but tit would not do anything i a oar tneir projr-ss or to di-quahfy or dis honor them. Ihe generous and manly Confederate so'dier knw as well as any of them that the issntt nad bet-n joined before the greatest tribunal of the world, on a question involving the verv foundations of ltepublican government ; thai it had been fought out as great armies of brave men alone could figlifthat somebody won; that some fundamental theory of Constitu tion won, ami the result had proved that it J was a causeless, unconstitutional and wick I ed war. That had been recorded bv the surrender at Appomattox, lint should be. therefore, act u rgereronsly toward anv person on th ether sids? God forbid. Sr.ouid ho try to Wir his prozress? Not at all. Should lie object to meeting him In the Senate chsmber as his peer ? Ity no means. I);d he object to Ihe fellow-citizens of a Confederate soldier loving him because of his gaiiautry? No. I) d any msn think less of the State of south Carolina for send ing to the Senate two of her gallant Con federate lirDerals? Not at all. On the contrary, ha should be ashamed of Sou'-h Carolina if she did not remember such men in the day? of her restoration. At the same time he would not, by his vote, or without a vigorous protest, permit to be p'aeed on the statue-nook anything which would In any degree reward a man for fighting on the Confederate side In the war. He was obliged to the Senator from Virginia (Dan ltl) he honored Lim for remembering with gratitude and love the men who fought on his oide. and he thanked him for not asking Senators from the North to do that which In his (Hawtey's) judgment. If they did, they would be making fools of themselves.

The Dead Chief Justice. AUhougd appointed to the Supreme B-nch from Ohio, Morrison Itemick Waite was of Connecticut birth, having been born at Lvun, Conn., November 29. IS1G. He came of a legal family, so to speak, for most of bis relatives were lawyers and his father Chief Just ice of the State. He was a member of the famous '37 class of Yale College, which numbers in it William M. Evarts and many other men now famous. Leaving Vale, be studied law in the offite of his father, who was at the time a Judge of the Supreme Court of the State, and subsequently Chief Justice. He removed to Maumee City, Ohio, in li-39, and practiced bis profession there until ISoO. He then removed to Toledo. He served in the lower bouse of the Oaiu Legislature during the sessions of 1S49 and 1S50. President Grant chose Mr. Wair along with William M. Evarts and Caleo Cushing as counsel for the United States before tbe Tribunal of Arbitra tion at Geneva. In this position be ac quitted himself very creditably, but without acquiring any marked degree of distinction. At the nineteenth con ference of the Tribunal, held on the 8th of August, 1S72. he delivered a written argument in reply to portion of the argument presented by the British counsel. Uodar date of Ostober. 23. IS72, Hon. Hamilton Fish communica ted to Mr. Waite, asooecf the counsel at the Geneva arbitration, the Presi dent's approval of bis course, and his thanks and "high appreciation of the great ability, learning, labor and devo tion to the interes, the dignity and the honor of the Nation, wbich each in bis appropriate sphere had made so success fully conducive to Ihe very satisfactory result which had been reached." Mr. Waite received the degree of LL. D. from Yale College in 1S72, and in ' 1S73 was chosen president of the State Constitutional Convention of Ohio. On the 19ih of January. 1S73, be was, on motion of Caleb Cushing. admitted to tbe bar of tbe Supreme Court ot the United States, and exactly one year from that dte, without meanwhile holding a brief before it, he wa9 nom inated by President Grant to presiri over it, holding the iosition until his death. Before the House. The Ways and Mean: Committee has directed a favoraole report to the House of the Mills B.I! for reducing taxation. Some concessions were made in tbe Committee to tho beneficiaries of pro tective duties. OJier conceRsi.ius will be necessary if tbe bill is to pass. The question is. How far shall tbe compro mise be carried ? To this there can be but one patriotic answer : Whatever compromise is ne cessary that does not sacrifice utterly the sound Democratic principle of re ducing llrst the taxes that are most burdensome to the greatest number of p?oole. The main thing is to xtop the surplus. The continuous collection of S13.U00. 000 a month in excess of the needs of the Government is tiot only a monstrous injustice to tbe people and the proliQc source of extravagance and jobbery, but it holds a serious menace to busi ness, prosperity. The surplm must be stopped with tariff reform if possible, without snch reform if necessary. But the small minority of Democrats whose attitude makes concessions ne cessary should remember that a com promise involves yielding on both sides. Tbey have no right to ask the grea: majority to yield more than has al leady been conceded. They surely can not expect that majority to yield every thing. The country will mark every vote, from whatever party, cast in favor of freeing luxuries and vices from tax ation in ordr to perpetuate a war tariff noon the necessities of the people. 2s. Y. WuAJ.

Tbe Interior Department officials Lave disposed ot a pension claim that has for years been a veritable cause celebre. It was the claim of Cypbert P.

Tbey are very numerous, and their favorite diver sion is to climb tbe telegraph poles and go through gymnastic exercises on tbe wires. Linemen assert that often 100 able-bodied monkeys may be seen ewinglng on the wires, restocned, monkey fashion, by loop ing their tails. Tbe continuous vibrations of these forest gymnasts start the Iron nails nsed on the cross-arms and these often come down, bringing the wire with them. Their multitude is so great that tt is use less to shoot them, as others quickly supply tbe places of those killed.

A Very Lively Deer. Tisz Creek. Pa., Mrcb 19 Hunters know that when a buck or deer Is wounded and brought to bay it will turn on its pur suers and attack them fnriously. William Leinar, of Tar Bridge, Sullivan county, had a novel and lively demonstration of that fact on Thnr?day. He was driving along the road a mile or so from Tar Bridge, w hen he saw a large buck standing to the right of he road, only a few feet from it. To hi surprise it made no attempt to escape. L,e mar drove on a short distance, and tretting ont of his sleigh waited back toward the deer. An he came near it he noticed thsj the hair on the buck's neck began to brit tle np fiercely, and that it laid its ears back like a vicious horse. I.euiar had bad no ex perience with deer, and could not restrain bis curiosity to have a closer inspection of this one, found under fuch extraordinary circ uin stances. He bad taken but a step or two further when tha deer suddenly sprang at bim. Lemar retreated hurriedly to a large stump on tbe other side ot the road, and, getting behind It, looked back. The deer was coming, and then Lemar discovered that one of its hind legs was broken, so that it dragged after tbe deer on tlie snow. In Fplte of its crippled condition, however, tlie deer pursued Lemar so rapidly that he was obliged to go round the stamp to avoid it. ne says that the ugly look in the buck's eye be never will forget. At last be made a break from the btump and ran at tbe top of his speed toward his sleigh. He reached it safely, but, looking back, saw that the deer, in attempting to follow him, had broken through the crust of a snowbank, and was unable to extricate Itself. Knowing that the poor animal would perish miserably in the snow if left to its fate, Lemar resolved to put tt out on Its mis ery If possible. He went back to where the buck was Imprisoned in the snow, and, at tbe risk of Injury to himself from the deer's antlers, with which it struck at bim furiously, be managed to plunge his knife into tbe buck's throat. It bled to death from the wound. Lemar pulled tbe dead aoimal out of the snow and took it with bim to Tar Bridge. It was a very large buck, but muoh em- ! aciated. It is supposed, from the abear ance of tbe fracture, that tbe deer had been wandering about with tbe broken leg for about a week, and that it must have been broken while the deer was freeing Itsolf after breaking through tbe crust iu deep snow. Medicinal tnalltle of Onlona. The free use of onions for the table lias always been considered bv most people a healthy and desirable vegetable, aad but for their odor, wbich is objectionable to many, tbey would be found more gener ally on our dining tables. For a cold on the chest there In no better specific, for most persons, than well boiled or masted onions. Tbey may not agree with every one, but to persons with good digestion they will not oily be round to be a most excellent remedy for a cough, and the clogging of tbe bronchial tubes which Is usually the cause of the cough, but If eaten freely at the outset of tbe cold, they will usually break np what promised, from the severity of the attack, to have been a seri ous one. A writer in one of our medical journals recently recommended tbe giving of young raw onions to childreu three or four times a week, and when tbey get too Urge and strong to be eaten raw, then boil and roast there, but not abandon tbeir free use. Another writer, advocating their use, says: During unhealthy seasons, when diphtheria and like contagious diseases pre vail, onions ought to be eaten in the spring of the vear at least once a week. Onions are Invigorating and prophylactic beyoud description. Further, I challenge the med ical fraternity or any mother to point out a place wltere children have died from diph theria or scarlatina angino.a, etc., where onioua we:e froely used.
