A recent Washington dispatch says the announcement that Colonel lnger soll will receive the German mission has aroused a strong feeling among the religious clement in the north and west from the fact that he has so persistently expressed himself as a disbeliever in tin christian religion. Numerous lettcis have been received bere protesting against the appointment, which is seri ously contemplated. Mr. Hayes professes to lo a pious Methodist and how he can reconcile that with the appointment of an infidel, bothers us and many others. Well, yes, it's natural, we see, he is dent. The Lewistown Gaiette, always red hot for radicalism, and an apologist tor the presidential steal, last week takes t- 1 scolding Hayes quite lustily. Good neighbor, it was a steal and a cheat to get Hayes there, wan't it? Now it> a cheat and a squeal since he's there, uin t it? Hey! We would advise the Gaiettc man to • pheasant hunting to wear off grief. We saw one in the Seven Mountains, on limb—and if not disturbed may be aere yet, go shoot it, its better game ftan Hayes. We opened one of our exchange-, dated two days after the election, and hunted in vain for any evidence that one had been held. Sach i* enterprise. —Lewistom n Gazette. That's not as had as the Bellefonte re publican, which cams out three days a fx ter the election, and reported Pennsyl vania and New York gone for the repub licans, and it is printed with only a 3 inch partition between it and the tele grfph office, aul the Reporter two days before had its rooater to crow in its ears that the republicans of New York, Penn sylvania dec., had been sent for op salt river. Rip Van Winkle. Why, what's the matter* we see s© many of our republican exchanges hit ting Hayes a kick? After committing a great crime to pnt him into the chair, they Nhould not go back on iiiin now. Hayes wishes to put out Conkling's men in the New York custom house. Conkling will try to have the senate re ject the new appointments. The sena tor has addressed a letter to the secreta ry of the treasury, asking for certain in formation respecting the causes of the removal of the collector and other offi cers at New York. He claims this as the right of the committee, under the tenure of office art He states that the commit tee is in possession of information that they were capable officers,and that their com minions have not expired. A telegram from Washington also says thai Mr. Uonkling finds himself in the minority in his own committee on the New York appointments. He still per sists itqhi* efforts to delay action, and re quests that it be deferred until next week, at which time it ia proposed to bring them before the senate. Mr. Hayes is assured that they will be con firmed. Did Commodore Vanderbilt died in New last year, leaving the snog little sum of about 100 million dollars. Hei.aSor9 children, and in his will left aboat 5 millions to be divided among eight of his children, and the balance. 95 millions to his son William. If we were one ofreven or eight among whom 5 millions of dollars were to be divided, we would esteem it a good big streak of lack, and think it wonld fix u. nicely for the rest of time. Bat not so with these Vanderbilt children—they 1 ve longing eyes for the 95 millions t went to "Billy"as the old man called i , and a suit is now going on to break tb< Commodore's will. In ordes to do ! some of his heirs are trying to make • the old man s hard case in his life t:jie, that he was not altogether right in his miud, and that William bronght amine influences to bear upon him in order to have him make his will thns. Billy is-his oldest son, and always tried to keep on the right side of ! i:s father in U1 his doings whether with strange wo men or : n other capers, and never cross ed him in any thing, while the other 'tildrcn did not prove so "obedient" as il that. The Commodore had his sec □d wife, a young miss, whom he mar ried onlv some three years ago. The first Mrs. Vanderbilt, some of the evidence goes to show, did not share the greatest of the Commodore's affections, and was pot away to en asylum, and afterwards died. This Vanderbilt case is nearly as bad -melting as the Beccher case, and is an other of the many evidences that the life of the high and the rich is not al ways as pnre, and as sweet as outward ppearanees often would show.

Many of the poorer classes bad deposits in these banks. Sheriff Yorgey had $25,000 in the Reading Sav ngs Bank. The greatest excitement ex sted and there were threats of violence by those who had lost hard-earned sav ings. Members of the finance if.mmiHtp of the senate express the opinion that the silver bill will not pass at this ecsaion. The bill known as the Silver Bill which passed the lower house of con _'reas thus provides: "That there shall be coined at the several mints of the Toiled States, Eilver dollars of the weight of 412£ grains Troy, of standard stiver, as provided in the act of Jan. 18, 1837, of which there shall be the devices and superscriptions provided bv said act vhich coins, together with all silver lobars heretofore coined by the United States of like weight and fineness, shall be a legal tender at their nominal value for the debts and dues, public and pri vate, except where otherwise provided by contract.

The bouse has pasaed the bill fixiug he army at 20,000 men. The senate has amended the army bill 55,000 men, instead of 20,000 as passed he house. be house on 17 passed the army bill eu amended by the senate. SENA TOR H A I IMF'S ROM> till h.

By a traditional law of Japan the Mikado has twelve wives in addition to the legitimate Empress; this is to pro vide for contingencies of non-succession. No disgrace attaches to the position of a subordinate mother, and it is believed that the purity of unbroken descent for nearly 3,0U0 years is owing to this cus tom.

Williamsport, Pa., November 13.—The case of Father Stack ngainst Bishop O'li.ira, which has been in litigation for more than six years, is decided finally in favor of the priest. To-day Judge Gam ble, acting as Chancellor in the Court of Common Pleas, filed an elaborate Apin ion, in which he maintains that the power exercised in the case by the Bishop is unwarranted by the canon laws, and that even if the discipline of the Church allowed it such power must nevertheless be condemned as contrary to the law of the land and prejudicial to the rights of citizenship. The superiori ty of the civil over the ecclesiastical law is expressly asserted. The decree of the Court accordingly declares that the re moval of Father Stack by ltislioi> O'Hara as punishment for a supposed offense was unlawful; that the prohibition di rected to Father Stack forbidding him to exercise any priestly functions in Williamsport was unlawful. But a de cree; of restoration was not grantee! as asked for on the ground that it might IK* injudicious to disturb the present state of things in the congregation. This point however, is an open question if the Bishop should appeal from the present decision to the Supreme Court. THE SECRO VOTE IS PHILADEL PHIA. [From the Philadelphia North Ameri can.] In the course of a very good article on the election of Tuesday the Bulletin of yesterday cited one cause of Republican defeat in this citv which lias been too mm h overlooked—the defection of the negro vote. It is not worth while to dis guise the fact that no sense of gratitude or appreciation of indebtedness can here after be counted on to keep that element in the Republican ranks. Ignorance and corruption walk hand in hand and their path leads directly into the Democratic camp. I MS! ESSE ItE V GOODS EST A RUSH MEST IS CHICAGO IS lii'lSS. Chicago.

The dry goods season opened late this fall on account of the warm weather, and a great many of the best style* in dress goods were not in the market until the last week in October, consequently the e-arly buyers did not secure the latest styles in a great ftionv thing*. Philadelphia merchant* expetled a heavy southern trade, and held on prices tFmly, but southern merchants know as much as our own shrewd Yankee .iner chants do hcn it comes to buying goods The consequence wa. Philadelphia!)* holding to their prices, tiie southern trade went to New York city. Hut wo could not stomach that. To secure the trade that was still back our merchant* lp.il to cone down with prices—as low us hew Y-rk city. To day dry goods and notion* can le li oigbt cheaper than tilcy over were bought in this county. 1 have seen wholesale merchants sell alpac i* since the Ist that could he re tailed in the country for 20c per yard. The same goods, if bought two weeks previous to this dale could not he sold for less than '2B or 30 rts per yard. Muslins are very low. Country mer chant* are astonished at the low price*and buy heavily. (Joed cotton flannels can now lie retail ed at 8 ct per yard. Same goods sold i wholesale two week* ago for SJ etc. A great many other article*, in fact ev erything, in the drv goods and notion lines are to day 15 to 'JO p'*r cent cheaper in Philadelphia than they were before the Ist of Nov. In clothing New York can boat us in prices, the consequence i- most merchants go in New York to buy their ready made clothing. J have no doubt* at all but some of your • hrewdur merchant-knew the state of ui ;'rtir in this city anil New York, and were only waiting for the competition to open between these (wo cities before buying their fall stock. Thee very men who have waited so long before buying, will reap the richest pari nl the harvest, and sell their customers much lower than those who were in the city two weeks ago.
