His nomination, it is asserted, is to l? made with a view to npieaiin. the oil wn for the defeat of the pile line bill.

Hall, a young at torney, to two yrars in the cuitenti:iry for forgery. A year- ago Hall was one of the leaders of the young menders of the Allegheny county bur. He lavame intoxicated, rt.:fuhed a client, was sent to jail, and the discovery of the forgery followed. Pit. W'ii.i. li. Lis., of Springfield, Ohio, is only years old, but he has lieen apjiointed private j.hysicinn to the King of Siani at a good salary and with an asttraiice that it will ! made still better if he can get along without dosing tl ic King with too much medicine, our yor ago Pr. I.ee was earning his ving as au e.prerS daiver. li A r the recent Republican judicial jri inarics in Lancaster County l.",4lKJ votes were polled and the Micct-K-ful candidate, Judge Livingston, had a majority of only :tj. Even the Republican organs concede the general corruption that pre vailed ut the election, and admit that the seat of the sueces-.-ful candidate on the bench will lc a purchased one. A ir.MTi'n Status Treasury olbcial, speaking of the embarrassment the dime pockj-t savings banks are causing the Treasury Department, is quoted as Kning that it is estimated that there are 5l,00,tMM in dimes hidden away in these pocket bank- to-day, and there appears t- 1' no way to draw iifton this reserve until the bank is glutted to its full capacity. It is getting to le n craze. Skvatou .Ionk", of Nevada, is appar. ently of the opinion that the busineMj of celebrating Renjamin Harrison may lo overdone. "I s.red six ears in the Senate with Harrison," says Senator June. during all that time. no one thought of asking his advice or defer ring to his opinions on any subject. Now that he is President he has the power to set ide find nullify the delib erate work of three or four hundred men after it has passed committees of both Houses and been thoroughly and care fully considered. This is wrong." Thc President has finished his journey of nearly 10,0mi miles, .says the Phila delphia Htraht, and is now back at the White House. Although it was intima ted at the start that the journey was really a hunt for delegates and to create a furore which might be useful to Mr. Harrison in the next Republican con vention, it is very evident that it has failed in tx'th these efforts. True, the preetings extended to the President were cordial and Miiecre, and that ut every point he was the recipient of marked attention, but it is also very evident that the homage was paid to the otlice and not to the man. A journey acros-s this great continent was a happy though!, and, under the fckillful arraugement of the Pennsylvan ia Railroad, was carried out without a tingle flaw or the slightest detention. To the President it ought to briug a let ter conception of the needs of the en tire country and eradicate from his mind the narrow partisan bigotry which was o painfully evident during the Pesxdon of the last Congress. If it has had this effect, the honors (.howcred ujk.ii Mr. Harrison will not have Im-n wasted. A ttRUK train on the Hudson River railroad carrying 1,'JoO pounds of dyna mite, was blown to atoms near Tarry town, New York, on Tuesday. About f0 men including Italian laborer and trainmen, were on lonrd. Of- these about -0 were instantly killed, and nNut the bame numl-er terribly torn and wounded. The train w as torn to atoms, the railroad track ripped from their lied and a great hole lualiv deep dug out of the earth and t rathe on the railroad was blocked for many hours. The force of the explosion wu.s terrific. The .ground trembled as though from an earthquake, the walls of several Tarry town houses were shaken and cracked, and in the Streets the window glass fell in showers to the sidewalk. Scores of clocks were Stopped at exactly 11:20 o'clock. A tpark from a passing engine is bolh ved to have caused the disaster. The bod- 'ie.s of the victims. Some of them torn . limb from limb, were hurled in every Iiidion. The track was torn up for a distance of 6W feet, and the rails wer- bent into all kinds 'of 'shapes. Dead faces and mutilated Imdies looked up at one from all directions. Men were found dead a hundred :inU away iron: the tr.-i.-k-.

Tb im portant biisiew of tbc pef'ion is in ar roa, and after having waited four months of time, with three workini .layf. a wivl out of Pix, there is jufet now a great pretcnee of the energetic des patch of bti?inej. It in largely a eham. Thc fact ia that a great number of mem bers, if not a mojority, do not desire action on tlic most important bills pend ing, and sH'k their defeat by adjourn ment rather than a direct vote. It is so easy to fell the people they would have voted for such and Ftich a bill had it come, up, but unfortunately a piressnre of busiiusss threw it over. Hallot reform, a constitutional con vention, tax equalization, thc various apportionments, the bill regulating piie line charges, the bills to make more ef fective the mining laws of the State in guarding human life, ns well as other measures, are likely to le killtrd by de lay, ami these comprise the imjiortant matters presented to the legislature when it met nearly five months ago. They were the pressing issues from the day the two houses were organized. Take the bill for a u equalization of ta.s, by which jicrsonul and corporate prop erty was to U" made to pay its just share of the public burdens. Roth parties are pledged to it. Tbe jut-tion has Ix-en In-fore the legislature ten years. It has twice U'cn referred to commissions, and has passed the legislature twice. On one occasion it was declared void by the courts on au amendment inserted in the bill by its enemies, and on another w:w df fcated by failure of kyislaiive olliciald to pn rly certify it to the governor. We have no doubt they pocketed corpor ation money as the price of their treach ery. Two mouths ago a bill to provide the tax reform demanded by the eople after thorough consideration Kissed the assembly, and since then has lieen pig-con-holed in Senate committee, subject to the well-planned assaults of all man ner of lobbjists, as well as pruti'sting delegations deceived as to the character of the bill. Most likely it was imficr fect as it passed the House, but no at tempt had !een made in good faith to better it in the Senate. On the con trary a great hullalwdoo has lcen kept up to defeat thev bill in its entirety a.s an attack on the &acred rights of property, the real intent Wing to exempt eorjior ations and certain descriptions of prop erty from their just share of taxation. This bill h t ) be killed by indirection, and a direct vote avoided. It is a Fam jhI of the way this inefficient and spine less legislature has met the iniiortant question the people sent to it. Tiik Raker oallot bill, says the Phila delphia Tim?, should not be allowed to remain another day in the Senate com mittee on elections. There is no excuse for holding the bill longer on the plea of perfecting it. The only way to jierfect is to ptrike out the objectionable amend ments made by the committee and this can le done in five minutes if u majority of the committee desire it done. If, as geems probable, the committee have pocketed the hill, some .Senator should piove for their discharge from its further consideration. Complaint is made iu quarters friend ly to the passage of the measure that no Republican Senator has leen found to act the part of leader in pushing its pas- sace through the Senate. With so prominent a Republican as Represeuta- live Raker to assume charge of the Mil , , , " its passage through thc House, was a ! comparatively easy matter. If pome j liepuiilican ."senator would Seize this op- portunity, he could make as much fame and reputation for himself in this Com monwealth as the courageous Represen tative from lelaware has already done. Why does not Senator Robbins, who is said to be friendly to the bill, make himself its champion in the Sen ate He is one of the younger nu m bers of that body, it is true, and per haps, is disposed to modesty on that account, but the jteople of Pennsylvania who want an honed ballot law will ac cord all the more honor to the young siena tor who steps to the front in the lieople's interest now that the older aud more cxpcrcenced memlicrs of the Senate seem to have failed in their duty.

It is ccr- j tain that Mr. Rlaine doesn't care for the ! nomination and that if Mr. Harrison i has- the taet he cam have the Rlaine strength thrown to him, which would I make his nomination certain; but it is equally certain that Mr. Harrison will have to drop the I-only-am-the-admin-istration style, which haF so irritated Ulaine, in order to succeed.

What ever popular dejnands oxitt for the en actment of legislation on the eubjict of roada and ical u.akin will certainly not 1-e Mtipfioil with the provisions cf thL? bill. If they arc to become affect ive lit all they could be made only so by liberal appropriations of state moneys, for which as I have said neither this bill nor any other legislation as yet enacted has made provision. Kven if such grant were inadc it is very doubtful whether the plan of distributioni pnv-iKts-"! by this bill would l-e ojuitable, satisfactorv or constitutional. The basis of distribution which it proposes hj the amount of roat! taxes collected alio cx ieudeI by each township for road pur poses during the prcecd n; ye-ar. This would put it entirely within the power of rich and populous rural districts, such, for example, as adjoin large eiti-s ami boroughs, to receive a large share of the state's liounty, which would be applied where, perhaps, it was least needed for the purpose of general improvement, while remote, sjiarsley settled and com paiatively poor districts, where road im provements were most desired would n--ceivo little or comparatively nothing. 'Moreover, the jNilicy and propriety of the grant of state moneys, raised by general taxation, to particular districts or communities, is extremely doubtful, if not attsolutely forbidden by the ppirit of the constitutional provisions declaring that there shall lie no appropriations for benevolent purposes to any community j aixl that the commonwealth shall not assume the dt bt of any city, thorough or i township. The pn-s nt enactment pro-1 rxses to distribute to some of the lis-' tricts of thc state, for n purely local pur pose that of road making moneys which have leen raised by taxation ujKin all the citizens of the state. The roads of townshiiis onlv are to ! constructed and repaired by the aid of stale money, w hile those of municipalities are to be providi-d for by local taxation. This is a discrimination wholiy unwarranted by the constitution. Furthermore, I cannot ignore the fact that this bill passit! the HoUsC of Representatives by a bare constitutional maioritv. That majoritv, it is notor- pOM.il upon the communities affect d by it against the voi-s and protests of a large proportion of their reprcsenta ive. Finally, if there were no other objec tion to this bill, a suthVient one would le a f fordo 1 by the fact that there are at present r-jK-cial and local road laws to the munlier of several hundred, governing manv townships of the state.

Editor Cambria Freeman: DtAR Sti:: So much has leen said and written as to the manner in which Gener al Jackon m-t his death in thc engage ments around Cliancellorsville that is doubtful or pure invention, that a true version of the affair may not be uniuttr etiug or unacceptable to many of your readers. It happenl in this wise: In stead of riding to the. front to reconoiter the enemy, and then imprudently galloping back to his own line. General Jackson was slowly riding to the front, while making exery effort to hurry forward the troops, when ho was fired on by a portion of his men on the right (south) of the road, and ohliijucly from the rear, and then the horses of his party that were not shot down wheeled to th left, and ho galloped into the woods on the left to escape the fire, when fired upon by another body of hU troops on tho north side of the road. It was hy this lat fire that (Jencral Jackson w as w ounded, and by his own command. Thus effectually disjmsiiig of thc oft-repeated stories of his being shot by federa I pickets, having ventured unawares too near their lines, or that he was wounded by a shell lircd by a.fed.-ral battery.
