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

town, New York, on Tuesday. About
f0 men including Italian laborer and

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

to the sidewalk. Scores of clocks were

for a distance of 6W feet, and the rails

A !-tiros for tn tHr adjournment

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.
What the iK-opl want is ballot reform.

Thtjr tk idl eevcral days go that it
would not do o announce the hour of
the arrival of thc royally equipped pp
cial train teariug Iienjatnin, the candi
date, leeau forsooth, he derired to es
cape the crowd that would meet him if
they knew when bo was coming. If
the hour that the train would arrive had
been announced for day a before iu all
the local newspapers and had been pla
carded on all the bill boards and dead
walls in town it Ls jfossible that two or
three hundml itlle negroes and hood
lums might have congregated at the sta
tion from curiosity, but to suppose that
there would have been a crowd large
enough to worry the gentlemen is the
most humorous thing of the season,
and it has set cveryliody in town to
laughing.
Mr. Ulaine's leing confined to his
room in New York by illness was goxl
enough for the sensational newspajters
to gull those who knew no Ix'tter w ith;
but it di'ln't go down with those who
knew that Mr. Blaine left Washington
liecause of the irritation caused by the
dictatorial tone of thc telegrams with
which Mr. Harrison was flooding him,
and if he dM-s not resume the active du
ties of his position for sometime it will
not le on account of his health, but te
bausc he wishes to get even with Mr.
Hairison by leaving him in charge of
matters over which he is almost certain
to blunder.
1 have god reasons for believing that
Mr. Harrison's treatment of Mr.
Rlair.e, who thinks lie has a grievance,
during the next few dave will settle his i
chances for a renonii nation. 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. The out-
come will be watched with interest, and i

Rowd bill gives the f allowing r 6ne:
The objections to litis naeasuro sem.
to m to le manifold. It.- purpose are
to oomcrous and diverse aj to espow it
to the constitute aaj cbjection cf con
taining more than one toibji-ct. 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. If the
present bill is to have any cH'wii ncy, it
must result from its operations a? a

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.
