The republicans of the seventh ward.
Philadelphia, have nominated Blaine tot
President.
mm • ♦ •
Tho I*. S. Senate has laid Piuohlatek
on the shelf, where he will lw allowed
his nap until next lVeetnlwr, when In
will pinch -Ivaek again to claim his seat
as Senator frotn Louisiana. Aathis tuu
latta is so anxious to have* plav in the
eapitol, suppose the senate voti him a
corner to keep tt pea-nut stand in "islet
to got rid of him.
And now the Lowtalowu tiasette, rad
ieal, says that all the late annoyances
and iuipudence of the blacks under
the civil rights MU, is attributable to
"democratic teachings \Nell, even iti
the tlaaette's apologetic light, the thing
would not hwk well for the negro hut
when we all know that all the training
the negroes have received was from
radical teachers, the tiatette - plea for
the nigs i> worth alsmt .is much asnnwut
shine in davtiuie.
The two republican |vajK'r> of I'nion
•xtnntv, the lwwislmrgChronicleandthe
MitHinburg Telegraph still keep up dc
fending their unruly representative,
Wolfe, reivntly censured hy the House
for hi- rowdy ish conduct upon the tlis>r,
iu order both to make a lieu aud a mar
tyr of himself, t'harles uotst have got
into the tuire pretty deep after all.ashis
own home orgatts have not yet succeed
ed in pulling him out and cleansing him
after six weeks effort in thai direction.
The Williainsjvort Bulletin is drunk
with the ivtufort it affects to find for the
radicals in the New Hampshire election,
and in a half breathless manner hastes
to tell how it was in New Hampshire
two and three years agv>, ami how the
democrats gained last year, and then
winds up hy forgetting to tell that its
jstriy fata inenilwr of congress in the
recent election—making a democratic
gain. How like the chap who whistled
to keep his courage up .is he jxts-cd a
graveyard.
The Bellefonte Rfp. ia loaded dow u with
a long art icleon the New Hanip-lure elec
lioit. It w antsto make its readers think its
j .arty has carried that state, but hasn't
the courage to say so, because facts
won't haik it up. To elect just one ioti
gre*.iuan out of three, and that with the
closest nipping, don't just jingle like a
republican victory, hut of course it is not
out of place for that and other republi*
can jvapers to be loud in the expression ol
thanks for the small number left them.
These fellows need not *hink that the
democrats intended to sweep the entire
Isvard in New Ham|>shire.
The efforts made by the Forty-third
Congress to improve the prospects of the
Grant |arty took up so much time that
but little attention could be giien to leg
islate legislation. Nearly all the work
finished by the late Congress was sloven
ly in the extreme. Among other evi
dences of negligence, or incapacity, or
both, was the passage of a law increasing
the rate of postage on third-class mail
matter to one cent per ounce. It is
thought tliat some of the member* of
Congress who aided in the passage of
this law were influenced by corrupt con
siderations, as the change of the rates
will be of great advantage to express
companies, which it is known were rejv
rcsented in Washington by an impudent
and jiereistent lobby. That the change
was effected, however, was doubtless
mainly owing to the carelessness ofl'on
gressmen, who did not take the jmins to
inform themselves what its consequen
ces would be, since we can hardly sup
pose the majority would be so stupid as
to assent to a new scale of postage which
i- certain to amuse the indignation of
nine-tenth of their constituents, while
UOIMHIV, unles it 1* the express compan
ies, can lie gainers by the change. I'n
der the new law, extravagant and sense
less rates of postage are imposed uj>on
transient newspapers and periodicals;
the jiOstage on the monthly magazines,
except to subscribers, w ill IK* doubled ; a
man sending a transient newspaper
from New York to Jersey City may have
to pay two or three times as much jKxit
age as would be required for the trans
portation of the same ]>u]>or from Sau
francisco to lx>ndon ; and the law lias
other features of an equally idiotic
nature. But although the people have
shown their disgust for such law makers,
President Grant is busily engaged in
iinding fat offices for the j*sre*t sja-ci
mens of the lot.
And now Charley Wolfe, of Union,
like Cameron, has been pardoned. The
House, on Wednesday, 17, day before
adjournment jiassed a resolution rescind
ing the vote of censure, passed upon
>lr. Wolf. Charley thus Mas aide to go
back to his Pa and Ma in Derrstown
without the fear of getting a scolding.
Charley cried when the House agreed,
unanimously, to wipe out the black
stroke made for him. The following we
copy from a report of the pro ceedings:
Mr. Lusk (dem.) offered the follow ing
which was unanimously agreed to:
Waniaa, owing to the uncertainty of
human life it is not improbable that
some of our number may not return to
meet us in the adjourned session ofl*7fl;
and
WILEBEAS, a feeling of good fellowship
and brotherly kindite** should charac
terise the hour of separation ; therefore
Be it remArrd, That the vote of censure
pawed u(x>n the Hon. Charles K Wolfe,
of Union county, be and the saute is
hereby rescinded, and the record of the
vote of censure be expunged front the
journal of the house.
Mr, Wolfe, evidently taken by sur
prise, arose, and with a feeling that well
ed his eyes with tears,and for a moment
almost overcame his power of speech,
returned his thanks in a short address,
•which was received with applause front
nil parts of the house.
THE FIRST CARDINAL. —Archbishop
HcCloskey, of New York, lias la-en pro
moted to the princely position of Cardi
nal, and is now made eligible to succeed
Pope Pius, provided he can master votes
enough, when the present head of the
Catholic Church aluill Is- gathered with
its fathers. Bishop McCloskey is the
Jarst American ever i*spal to a Cardinal.
There are now U Cardinals
scattered throughout the paly one |

THE Eai.EslA.sTlrM. Hi 11
v.i.vr.
Berlin, March 10. In tlie lower house
of the Prussian diet to-day debate was
opened on the first reading of the new
ecclesiastical bill. 1 r. Falk, minister of
public worship, in u s|>eech explaining
the necessity for fresh legislation on the
relations of the Herlin government with
the church, dwelt especially on the fact
tliat the pope had authorized the Aus
trian bishops to obey law- similar to
those which he denounced in Prussia.
The state was not afraid of the cncy< lo
cal, hut considered the matter serious
and would not jx-riuit itself tolvc treated
with scorn bv the church.
Prince Bisiuark made a p"w erful
speech in support of the bill, lie said
the maxim that more obedience wan due
to God than to man. certainly did not
mean that more obedience was due to
a Joj>e, misguided by Jesuits. than to lin
king. The government wa? doing its
duty in protecting _German freedom < f
mind against Home. The house resolv
ed to discuss the bill in full sitting in
stead of referring it to a committee.
Since the establishment of the Insur
ance Department of the State Govern
ment in Pennsylvania, numerous cases
of fraud and insolvem-v on the j>rt of
the companies have been brought to
light. The people's Central, and Safe
guard companies have* succumbed in
rapid succession. The National Fire In
surance company of Philadelphia is now
added to the list. This coin|wiiiy on Fri
day last decided t<> make a proposition
to its creditors to pay forty cents on the
dollar in full liquidation of its liabilities;
but it seamed to !• questionable wheth
er even this projmrtion of its indebted
ness mil lie paid without considerable
outside assistance. The intelligence
now readies that other Philadelphia
companies are in trouble, and (lie Amer
ican Underwriters', the Fame, and the
Penu of Pennsylvania are mentioned as
being of this number. Strange to say ,
several of these rotton concerns have
issued their policies ijuiti* freely in tliis
city, the temptation held out to projier
ty owners, whether real or jK-rsonal, Iw
ing the offer to accept a slightly reduced
rate of premium for the insurance of the
risk. — Sun.

The liadieuls of the lu-gi.-latnre have
got thi-niselvi-s into a l-atlid-up c.ndi
tion. They have -• iegishtt 1 hereto
fore, that the -inking fund has more
money than it need*, while the general
fund hasu't enough to meet the necessa
ry appropriations indeed, nu-tuls-rsare

As a iun-1 quenec the Senate out dow ii

Therefore the Treasury ring have had
tlie whole thing to themselves, and
could takeout ofone fund or the oilier,'
as it suited them, law or no law . That
full control tliey unexpectedly lust last
fall, and now they must take the legiti
mate results of their act-. If their laid
legislation has carried t<Hi much money
to the sinking fund, ami too little to the
general fund to meet current cx|nac-.
they must la-ar the burden of the situa

and in it the light of Mr. Heigliard'a fig
ures and that the Senate should have
projsawil the remedy tinder the circum
stances, the ItetiuH rats are not res|*uisi
hie for the situation or its results.
In their efforts to play bnncomb with
the people by a large reduction of the
public debt, the Radical* have got them
selves in the situation of having to stop
their folly, and their attempt to shove
the passage of Mat key'* bill on the
House was a dodge to get the JVmocrals
to institute and pass a measure that
would curtail the reduction of the public
debt. The Radicals would then have
rvajted the Itciietit of tin- relief, and gone
la-fore the ]ample to enjoy a full Treasu
ry at the expense of the Ik-mocrats,
whom they would charge with having
lessened the reduction of the State debt.
The scheme failed.—< /. /Via.

for no# loving Christ' A little child ua
much interested in securing scholar* for
her Sunday icheol class, and requested
her play mates to attend with her, hut they
declined a* their lather was an infidel, anil
would not let them. The child, in relat
ing her iil-tuccm to her teacher, asked
what an infidel was. and learned that u
was one who did nof love Jesus. A few
dart after meeting this father at the post
office, she ran lofiini and earnestly ashed,
"Why don't you love Jcu. ? ' Meeting
with no response, the question was again
itsked, and still the third time. "Why
don't you love Jesus? ' The child was.
hurriedly pushed away, hut still the quen-
Uion iiiig' re.l Kncli letter opened, the
leas c of each hook rend, secmeil to con
tain the same question, "Why don't vouj
' love Jems ?" it was useless to attend to
l>uini*<, and so he left the office ; but the!
j same question followed h>m In tlu l
( strce!s, at home with his children, in the)
silent hours of the night, until at mid-i
'night, with the resolve ' to prove Christ a
j liar," (a* he thought an easy matter) hi
rose and opened a Bible. His eye saw first
John •!; lit "For God so loved the world,
j that liii gave his only begotten .Son. tbatj
whosoever belicvith in hitu should not
j perish, but have everlasting lifo." Sure
!y this w a<no reason for rejecting Christ,
hut rather a strong one lor receiving him.
And, turning over the leaves of bis Bible,
jhe found many teasont to love Jesus, and:
: none for relenting him. And there, alone
with hi- llihle and his Uoil. he sought till
he found the precious loving Saviour, who
is ready and willing to receive all who
| i onic to liiiq 1 want to warn you to fW
from the wraln to come, while the door 01,
Ulie Atk is still open. And 1 try to so
warn yen to-night that no one here can|
