Ilereafter the JOURNAL will be i 6 sued on Friday, instead of Wednesday, as here tofore. We make this change to enable us to give earlier local news of all elections, conventions, and other matters of local interest, which arc generally held early in the week, about the time we have hereto- fore gone to press, and for the further reason that our rural population generally go to the Post-office on Saturday.

I)URBORROW & CO., liuntingdou, Pa EDWARD FOLEY, of Boston, has been appointed Indian Commissioner. THE contest between Kerr and Randall, for Speaker, is growing very warm. CONGRESS meets on next Monday, and if the hungry Democrats who have a ma jority in the House of Representatives, succeed in organizing, the President's Mes sage will be on bands a day or two later. ALL ths,i-ufluence which the outside world eau bring to bear upon the Delaware barbarians, cannot induce them to abolish the whipping past. Barbarism, deeply rooted, defies civilization. It is ever thus. ACTIVE Naval preparations are going forward t the respective Navy Yards.— There is an impression, among those who are not in the confidence of the Adminis- tration, that it means active intervention in Cuban affairs. Hasten the day IION. Tiros. A. SCOTT'S letter to the St. Louis Convention, settio:4 forth the advantages of the Texas and Pacific Rail road and the plan for guaranteeing the payment of the bonds, by the government, will make a deep impression upon the na tion. It is one of the ablest and clearest NB"r6b.d . for utiaiiy months, Nay it carry conviction to our represen tatives in Congress. Rev. AUDLEY BROWN and Judge Black did their best to defeat Hartrrgt, but didn't come up to Democratic expec tation. The Pottsville Standard, Persh ing's organ, is rather disgusted and thus holds forth : "The Temperance folks come in just nowhere in the count. While giving them credit for the best intentions in the world, frankness compels us to admit that they didn't form even a respectable tail to the Democratic kite." THE funeral obsequies of Vice Presi dent Wilson have been grand and impo sing, showing a due respect for the office which he filled, and the high appreciation of his eminent services, and the love and esteem which the masses felt for the indi vidual man. In his death the nation mourns the loss of one of the first men c t the country. On Wednesday last his re mains were placed in their final resting place at Natick, Mass. The Presidency of the Senate. The New York Times says, the death of the Vice President causes a vacancy in that office which cannot be filled under any provision of law or the Constitution. The Senate has the power to choose one of its own members Presidentpro tempore, in the absence of the Vice President, who is the President of that body by authority of the Constitution. The President pro tempore so elected holds his position only till the return of the Vice President. so that as often as he goes away a new el,!c tion must beheld. It is the custom for the Vice President to take an occasion early in each session to be absent on pur pose to afford an opportunity to the Sen ate to elect a temporary presiding officer. The choice is made in a caucus of the dominant party, and whoever is thus se lected is given the office as often as a va• ming occurs. On one of the last days of each session the Vica President usually goes away, and the President of the Sen ate, pro tempore, adjourns the Senate and holds his position till the beginning of the next session. In this manner the Senate provides regularly against she contingency of the death of both the President and the Vice President, in which case the Senator chosen to preside over the body would become President of the United States. Last session Senator Ferry, of Michigan, was chosen President pro Tem pore, chiefly because he is a very excel lent parliamentarian. He was elected on the last day of the extra session after the close of the last Congress, and he holds the position now. lie will call the Senate to order when it meets next month, and will preside throughout the session, and till the inauguration of a Vice President in 1877, unless the Senate should choose some other Senator to fill the place, which can be done at any time. Senator Ferry does not assume the office, or title, or the salary of Vise President, but under the law if there should be a vacancy in the Presidency he would assume that office and exercise its functions till the Presi dent was again elected by the people.

NEW YORK, NoV . 30. 1575 Eioil(r11 1875 TUE DEATH OF VICE PILESIDENT The flags all over the city arc flying at half-mast for the death silent Wilson, an ev,nt that i.ioverc universal sorrow. t-imple of character, his unaffected patriotism and unquestioned honesty have year by year won fOr him amfmg all classes a regard which death easily exalts into a tender memory. Like the late President Lin coln he sprung front the very dregs of the people, and yet attained to the second honors of the Republic, as the other did to the first. The career of both admira• bly illustrates the free genius of our insti tutions, and the absence of those barriers of caste and privileges which block the way in less favored lands. WILLIAM 11. ASTOItie3 Naked out of the world, naked and poor as he came into it, goes this week the wealthiest man on this Continent, Mr. William 13. Astor, only surviving s•i of Mr. John Jacob Astor. He leaves prop erty, mostly real estate, estimated at the lowest to be $100,000.000, and probably these figures are a good deal too small, big as they are. He was born in this city, in 1792 and was therefore 83 years old. His father died in 1848 at the same ripe age, leaving a fortune of over $20,000.000, more than half of which fell to William 13. whose portion, increased by a legacy from his uncle Henry, has steadily grown to this enormous sum. He owned more than 2,500 houses and building lots, many of the houses being among the finest in the city. It has been a rule with the As tor family from the beginning never to sell any real estate, but to buy. which they have done with rare sagacity and good judgement ever since old John Jacob got a good start in life. While William B. may not have had so original a genius fur money making as his father, he was cer tainly in all other repeets his superior. He p..ssessed an exmllent judgement and and great aptitude fbr bu,iness affairs, and managed his vast concerns with wonderful intelligence and order. He was one of the best landlords in the city, strict, to be sure, and exacting his own, but taking ex cellent care of his tenements, holding them at a fair rent, and so just and reasonable that people always like to get into his houses; and he took care to make it for the interest of good tenants to stay. He nearly doubled the old man's bequest for founding the Astor library • indeed, it is said that he inspired the idea of it in his father's mind, for it is not generally known that he was a ripe scholar and found his chief enjoyment in the society of his books. his life was quite uneventful, he lived more simply and unostentatiously than hundreds in this city do who are bothered to make both ends meet, and worked more hours a day than most men who merely get a living from hand to mouth. So that in life he had no more enjoyment of his wealth than we all may have and, perhaps, do have out of our small incomes, and all of his millions could not buy him one hour's respite of the stroke of death. "How n - melt did R-leave ?" asked one friend of another, when a rich man of their acquaintance died. "He left all he had," was the wise reply. fortunate, in deed, and blessed are they who leave more than material-wealth, houses and lands, and silver and gold ; who leave names which pass along down the ages in the kit.dly speech of the lowly and miserable, lifted up, cothibrted by their thoughtful and tender benefactions. 04111,Z1 Moody and Sankey, tilos() mighty c.ip tains of the church militant, have aban doned the siege of the fortress of sin over in wicked Brooklyn, and, removing with all their impedimenta, have sat them down before the walls of the Quaker city. '% hat effect their holy artillery wrought in Brooklyn is not easy to discover. There was a large attendance upon them, many professedly anxious inquirers, and all that but little is known of the number of con versions, and in so short a time, nothing of what has really been wrought -in the lives of the new professors. It is said in Brooklyn, that their efforts are but the beginning of a series of such, and that during the winter marvelous doings may be looked for in the churches. Let us hope so, and bid God speed to all efforts by whomever made to lead the race to bet ter living. It might be said here that Rev. Dr. Storrs, who has been greatly tempted by offers from a :ich church in New York, has finally decided to remain with the Church of the Pilgrims in Brook lyn, whose pulpit be has filled now for thirty years. SUS. PER COL. It has been said that the worst'use to put a man to is to hang him ; but that can't possibly be tine in this city. It now and then happens chat criminal is prompt. ly hunted down, Etirly and promptly tried, and if his offense is a capital one, prompt ly sus. per col. And he was never worth so much in his life as in his death, for he dangles from the gibbet, a terror to his kind, and lifa is safe, fir a good while after. It is not a pleasant thought that a man may meet on the streets of New York in au evening's promenade, 't hundred who, if they had a good chance, would cut his throat for two dollars and a half, or some such matter; but it is true, never theless, and nothing keeps their hands down but the shadow of the gallows tree—a bonny tree for this locality. Now, here is a substantial fact : up to the time of the swift conviction and sentence of the murderer of Mr. Noe, a month ago, grime was on the advance in this city. Since, it has fallen off, as if that righteous death sentence had palsied the hand of violence. I propose, in future letters, to give some account of the dangerous classes of this city, their ways of acting and living, in cluding some curious facts, the result of my own observations. It seems a queer sort or thing that a man should carry on burglary as a trade during a long life and die at last peacefully in his bed, and yet scores of rascals do it, and many of them are well known to the authorities, and are on good enough terms with the detectives, and have a sort of social status of their own, in which they rank all sort of heroes and good fellows. SAILORS AFLOAT AND ASHORE "There's a sweet little cherub that sits up aloft, To keep watch for the life of poor Jack." So runs the stout old English sea song of Thomas Dibden, but surely that attitu dinous watcher is sadly remiss of his du ties, for the records show that 1,500 sail ors annually lose their lives by falling from masts and spars of ships at sea. Think ye well housed landsmen, of going aloit in the darkness of a winter storm far out at sea, up shroud; and along rigging and spars slippery with ice, when to miss a grasp of frozen rope, or a false step, is certain death very—few persons know much or care much about the sailor. His life is the life of a dog ; no slave was ever the victim of such wrong as he endures. His life lies so apart from that of ordinary hu manity, that the advance of civilization hardly includes him ; he is left in a coadi tion of barbarism. Let me try to convey to your readers some notion of the way be is treated in this city, one of the great seaports of the world, it being the same cverywhAre. Imagine a sailor just landed from a ‘ , oya.;e. Soippos htve he,o, a s,iior I;,r v five years, and to lw coy years nll. 110 ha-i got his wnres in his pocket, he knows no su c h word ;,s i,r Etritily, let has not a fri.ael Hot wOrlil, the strict discipline and narrow life on ship, have so &graded and in:hinted him that he has altuo.4 lost the gift of sreeli. mei oily ritt urns a few ferias of the sea. lie has wily one WO j•)ii of en . joynwlit. aml that is of the low. -t f,rins aoiludi•m. The land shucks aro wait ing tnr hint, and although he has been de voured by them a thousand times in all the ports of tLe world, he rushes into their jaws again. lie is led unresistingly into one of the many vile dens in Water or a similar street, plied with poisoned liquor until he is out of his mini ; handed over to a wretched female companion, whose busi ness it is to see that he does not leave the premises, nor allowed to get sober. Then, when his money is all spent—and it takes only a few days to do it—and a bill run up equal to his advance wages, the pro prietor of' the devil's hole where he is wal lowing ships .him through an agent on any vessel about to sail—for vessels are always short of men, and all sorts of infamous tricks are put into use to get them—and Jack comes to his senses some morning to find himself in the lbrecastle of an outward bound ship, which is being towed down the bay, and out through the narrows where she is cast off by the tug-boat, and must hoist sail and away. lie has no knor'edge of how he got thero. Ile was dragged on board drunk. lle was drunk when he signed his name or made his mark, to the ship's papers; drunk when he sign ed au order for his landlord to obtain his advance pay, and is now stupidly coming to consciousness. The first mate now en• ters the forecastle. lie is -armed with brass knuckles or a marlin-spike. The sec and mate is with him, also armed, and so is the steward and perhaps the raptain. Then ensues a scene the like of which is hardly seen now that the horrors of the slave ship has been abolished by indig. nant Christendom. These poor drunken sailors, stupified, and helpless f'rout their long debauc It, are driven aloft with horri ble curses and blows, and actually compell ed to their duty by main force. The voyage made, they leave the ship to go through the same experience again, and over and over, until swallowed up by sea. This is no fancy scetch or exceptional case ; this is the life the sailor is used to ; indeed, he knows no other, and, apparent ly, desires no other, Once in a while some horrible case of brutality on the part of a sea-captain gets into the courts and newspapers, but it is only once in a while, for no sailor would think of taking excep tion to the treatment I have described ; it is no more than the custom, of the sea. Let your son steal hogs, deal at faro, or drive horses on the towpath of the Erie canal, and do you inflict on him anything short of murder to keep him from going to sea.

(Sower, Potts & Co., Philadelphia.) This Series consists of four books—the Primary, the Elementary, tho New Normal Mental, and the Written ; and every book has been prepared with care, in every part by Prof, Edward Brooks of the "Normal" at Millersville, aided by able assis tants ; carefully revised, and corrected ; and it may be said, without fear of successful con tradiction, that no series of Arithmetics ever published, has been made equal to this in cor rect adaptation to the wants of the student. It is an outrage upon every learner who is re quired to endeavor to ingctnr o orinunn m; fit inferior help tt-hen' - tett OlitAltie The Arithmetics formerly used were illogical and poorly adapted to the purposes intended, while these are practical, logical, and based upon a correct knowledge of the science of numbers,—a knowledge obtained by long ex perience in teaching.

The first number of the Phonetic Magazine, a new monthly journal, devoted to "the read ing and writing reform," has just been re ceived. It is published at Tyrone, Pa., by W.

In no other way can so much of the best work of the best minds of the time be obtained so cheaply or conveniently, as through this standard eclec tic weekly. In 1876 it enters upon its thirty-third year, having met with continued and increasing success, and being now, since its absorption of "Every Saturday," practically without a rival in its field. With its weekly issue, and its three and a quarter thousand large pages of reading matter a year, it is enabled to present with freshness and satisfactory completeness, attempted by no other publication, the ablest essays and reviews, the choicest serial and short stories, the most interesting sketches of travel and discovery, the best poetry, and the most valuable biographical, historical, scien tific and political information from the entire oody of foreign periodical literature. It would be difficult, therefore, to over-estimate its importance to American readers as the only thorough compilation of an indispensable current literature,—indispensable, because it embraces the productions of the foremost liv ing writers in science, fiction, history, bio graphy, theology, philosophy, politics, criti cism and art. Such distinguished authors as Hon. W. E. Gladstone, Prof. Max Muller, Prof. Huxley, Dr, W. B. Carpenter ' Prof. Tyndall, R. A. Proctor, The Duke of Argyll, Edward A. Free man, Francis Power Cobbe, Jas. Anthony Fronde, Mrs. Muloch, Mrs, Oliphant, Miss Thackeray, Jean Ingelow, Geo. McDonald, Thomas Hardy, Wm. Black, Anthony Trollope, R. D. Blackmore, Mrs. Parr, Julia Kavanagh, Mrs. Mcquoid, Matthew Arnold, Henry Kings ley, Thomas'Carlyle, F. W. Newman, W. W. Story, Robert Buchanan, Tennyson, Brown ing, etc. etc., and represented in its pages ; and during the coming year, besides the best fiction by the leading foreign novelists, it will give the usual amount, unapproaclied by any other periodical, of the most important liter ary and scientific matter of the day, from the pens of the above named and many other ablest living contributors to current literature. The Living Age has always stood "at the head of its class," not only as the best, but all things considered, the cheapest of the eclectics; and in the multiplicity of quarter- lies, monthlies and weeklies, it has become almost a necessity to every person or family of intelligence and taste; for it, alone, fur niches such a compendium of whatever is of immediate interest or permanent value iu the literary world as to render it an invaluable economizer of time, labor and money. The subscription price [sB a year] is cheap for the amount of reading furnished : or for those desiring the cream of both home and foreign literature (postage prepaid on both pe riodicals) The Living Age and either one of the American $4 monthlies, or weeklies, a year for $10.50. With The Living Age and one or other of our leading American monthlies, subscriber will, at remarkably small cost, be in possession of the best which the current literature of the world affords. The volume begins January Ist, and to new subscribers, remitting now, the publishers (Littell & Gay, Boston,) offer to send the in tervening numbers gratis. -----is--...._.•-_ E. F.
