In New York 2500 carpet weavers have gone out on a strike. Put these fellows to shaking carpets and they will wish there never had been a carpet to strike about. -—— Our attention has been called to the fact that during the late campaign in our county a candidate for nomination quietly made use of a letter, which was a fraud and forgery, to injure an hones! competitor. We are not at all surprised to learn this, neither are many others, and as the campaign has passed, we will salt down the facts “for a rainy day.” ema— fb mm—— wr and oung- We sympathize with Gover Mrs. Beaver, in the death of thei est child, James, a bright and ing lad, of three years, who wa away by that dread disease, di on Sunday last.

Breakfast Table | mon Cameron at his home a: viewed him upon Don's late Pre boom. The venerable old s laughed at the idea and remar) son has no idea of the kind, P sylva- nia is for Blaine and we are for him too. The talk in the papers about Donald be- ing opposed to Mr. Blaine and seek- ing the office, is only newspaper talk.” The same day Donald was found and re- plied to the reporter in the fullowing dabious style : “There is nothing in the recent paper reports concerning the matter. If Pennsylvania is for Mr Blaine-—as it seems to be—I shall not oppose him. But the convention isa long ways off yet—and there's plenty of time to talk about candidates” This last expression can undergo different in- terpretations Our idea of it is that it means —Blaine isa long ways from the Presidency and Don Cameron has plen- ty of time to play his “trump” card. The Republicon dead-lock at bany, for a U. 8, Senator, was finally kea by the nomination of Frank Hi k to succeed Warner Miller, The yWers of Morton, seeing that his no nation was hopeless, marched over in body to the Hiscock camp. Notwithstanding something very like treason in their ranks, the Democrats of the New Jersey assembly managed to regain contiol, even with the speaker (a Democrat but elected by Republican votes) against them. His deecisio « were reversed, and Lis refusal to ro ognize pariimentry rules came near precipita ting a riot.

The report that the people about Sec- retary Bayard are attempting to kill off Governor Curtin as a candidate for the Austrian Mission, by reviving an old disputed claim in the accounts of the Russian mission, would be a slander up- on the Secretary of State, if it were not in unison with other attacks upon Car- tin, from the It is said that the Secretary of State nourishes an old grudge against Curtin, What act of the old War Governor brought down upon him the enmity of the Bayards is not settled; but his from the chairmanship of foreign affairs commit- same source, removal tee was so potent a declaration of war- fare, that the last reported way of attack- ing him seems quite credible, i - Governor Beaver's inaugural has good points.

Harrisburg, Jannary 19.—A joint re solution, prop«sing an amendment to the Constitution, was placed on Moaday last in the hands of Benator Penrose and spresentative Scott, of the Eighth 1iladelphia district, which aims to sup- ply the deficiency in the organic law pointed out by Governor Beaver when he spoke of the unequal system of tax- ation that provides no adequate exemp- tion of the homestead. The joint reso ution is ss follows “Beir RESOLVED, ete, That the following is proposed as an amendment of the Con- ion of the Commonwealth of Penn- ivania, in accordance with the provis. ions of the eighteenth article thereof That section one of article nine of the ution of the Commonweal'h of vivania, which reads as follows: | taxes shall be uniform, upon the f subjects, within the terri. torial limits of the anthority levying the tax, and shall levied and under general laws;but the Assembly may by general laws exempt from taxation public property for public purposes, faces of religions worship, pl ACER Of used or d for private corporate and institutions of a parely publie charity”be ind the same is hereby amended so to read as follow: ¥All taxes shall be uni- form, upon the same class of subjects within the territorial limits of the aathorrity levying the fax; but the General Assembly may, by general laws, exempt from taxationaoy farm not ex. ceeding twenty acres ih srea on which the owner actua'ly resides and whch got sitoated in any city or borough; every building lot, not exceeding twenty thousand square feet in area, on which the owner actoally resides; § prop erty used for pm purposes; actual places of worship, places of burial not or held for privats or o© Irporate profit and institutions of a purely public charity; provided that all taxes on Jand shall be specific, the acre being the anit of area in townships and the square foot the unit of area io cities and boroughs incoporated under the laws of this Com- monwealth,” It is claimed by the friends of the pro- posed amendment that the ad valorem method of taxing real estate, in addition to being anything but uaniform in its operation and liable to great abuse, is ia any event a direct tax on improvement, and that the substitution of area for value as the basis of taxation would tend to break up large holdi ngs into small ones, and thus to promo te the distrib. tion of land, relieve the burdens of tax ation on farms of moderate size and put a premium on the improvement of land gow idle. The aut or of this proposition will probably make an argument in its behalf before the committee or commit tees to which it will be referred. “ > RESOLUTIONS OF GRANGE, The following resolutions were passed at a meeting of Progress Grange, at Cen- tre Hall, Jan, 22: Whereas, Many newspapers incon- siderately urge and advocate upon Con. gress, the placing of agricaitural raw prodacts on the free list for the benefit of the manufacturers of these products, for whom they would retain the highest protection from foreign competition, which policy, if it were adopted, would still farther diminish the valoe of our siready depreciated farm products hy many millions of dollars withont a corre. sponding redaction in the prices of man nfactures, which would be a gross injus- tice to the farmers of our country, and lead to bankruptey and ruin. Therefore, Resolved, That we enter our protest against Congress placing sgricaltural products on the free list 50 long as the manufactures are given the benefit of protection; and that we aise protest against any policy by the press that dis eriminates against agriculture in favor of manufactarers and ask oar farmers to withdraw their support and patronage from all periodicals and papers that will thus manifestiy injare our i dustry, Resolved, That we favor such Saini: tion by the State and National Legisla. ture that will protect all our jodustries alike, and develope them to the highest pertection and bring the greatest remo. oeration and comforts to those engaged in them .
