' Pullman, the palace car man is building a 875,000 "cottage by the sea," at Long Branch. - It is to bo - even more stylish than Grant'a. .' It is roporUd that "tho government" ' will move to Long Branch about the ; njidJle of June. Washington is "too ' -dull and prosy" for the tanner fumily, "The rot.ult in Connecticut," troubles our Radical exchanges wonderfully. ' Never mind, gontlomon, affairs of that kind will happen in three-fourths of the States during the year. Somo of our Radical exchanges have heard that thoro was an election held 'in Connecticut this spring, bat they aro nnable to ascertain the result. .Well, some of them are so purely local that thcyjiever know what happens away from Lome. . One Confessor.- -The Pittsburgh Gazette has come to the conclusion that Secretary Richardson is not the right man to bo at the head of tbo Treasury Department. No doubt a 'wise conclusion, though the Gatette was a little lardy in roachingit. There are scores of other Radical organs whose editors enjoy the same opinion but they are afraid to speak out. The Centennial The House of Representatives at Hnrrieburg passed, Ly the docisive voto of sixty yeas to thirty-four nays, the appropriation of 1,000,000 to tbo Centennial funds, to be expended in tho construction of tho International Exhibition buildings, at Philadelphia. Within a few weeks Congress will no doubt pass a bill ap propriating not less than three mil lions for the same purpose. a e aw "Wonderful Some of tho Radical organs "take on" wonderfully because the Captain-General of Cuba has sup pressed a rebel newspaper and impris ooed the editor. The editors of some of those organs talk of going to Cuba and assisting in shooting or banging forgotten that this was Seward'and .Stanton's plan in this country, about ten years ago. This Spanish free booter is only following American pro rodents. aw .Settled at Last. The long con test in the Massachusetts Legislature over the eloction of. a United States Senator to succeed Mr. Sumner, end ed on Friday by the election of Gov. Washburn. Hoar was dropped, and tie friends, together with a number of Dawes' friends, jumped on to his Ex cellency, throwing Bullor & Co. high And dry. This is just what the same party did lnt fall in the gubernatorial contest. Hoar and Washburn com bined and dofoatod the beroio Benja min. This defeat will make the boro of Fort Fisher roar. Tbo Democrats during tbo whole contest manfully cast tboir votes for Judge Curtis. A Small Rebellion. The State f Arkansas is troubled with two Gov ernors just now. Tho Mexican stylo of deposing rulors is becoming fash ionable down South. Both the would Le Governors want tbo President to loan them the United States troops,to enable tbem to maintain their posi tions, but he at latest dates refuses. Strange that be did. not follow the Louisiana precedent! Reconstruction will yet prove a fur worse curse to the South than slavery. Look at the con dition of South Carolina, Mississippi and .Louisiana. Through robbery and bad government property has depreci ated 75 ner cent, since tho close of tbo i war, and if there is no change soon revolution will bo tbo rule instead of the exception. PbettY Plain and True. Gen. Gray, who hoaded the South Carolina, delegation of taxpayers, who called upon President Grant rccoiitly, for relief, in a speech at Charleston, on the return home of the coinrailteo, among other positive remarks said : "I for one am unwilling to be knocking at the door of the White Houso for political or other favors; I am willing to concede that Grant is a great sol dier, fit to have stood by Ciosar, Na poleon, William the Conqacrer, or Washington, if noeds be, and given directions in b<loj but by accept ing presents' of a great value J in vio lation of bis oath of office, in throw ing the responsibility of his specula tion with Fisk A Gould, whereby be made twenly-five thousand dollars, upon bis wife he has tarnished and thrown away a fame that might have perpetuated his name for all tine. I am not sufficiently sanguine to bope for some sympathy, much less prao. ticsl. aid, from Congress. The sym. rtbv and aid will rather be extended U tbejr (.puMMfttcs in crime. " Tbi St ati Sin ati. A dead lock bat set in at Ilarrlsburg over the con8rmation of tbo now Associato Law and President Judgos sent Into the Senate by the Governor. Tho Constitution requlro a two-third voto, and but 18 Senators out of the 83 hav ing voted for confirmation, of oourso the wholo batch were rejected. Tho Democrat withheld thoir votes, and they say they will continue to. do so nntil the Radicals .agroe to pass t proper Apportionment bill. The Gov. ernor has sinoe re-appointed tho snmo gontlomon and sent tboir namos to the Sonato again. What tho result will be we are unablo to coniocturo. The Apportionment bill, as reported, is the most infamous moasure ever preBon tod in a legislative body. The bill, it passed as reported, will in effect dis franchise one-third of tho Democratic voters in the St a to, and will giro tho Radicals a huge majority both in the Senate and in the IIoubs. Approaching Justice. Tho lowor House of Congress, on the 14th, pass- od the bill for the free exchange of newspapers between publishers aifd free transmission of newspapers by mail within the county of tboir publi cation. Tho text oi the bill is as follows : That from and after the passage of this act, tho following mail matter shall be allowed to pass freo in tho mail : First Newspapers, periodicals, and magaftineB reciprocally interchanged botween publishers and not exceeding sixteen ounoea in weigbt to be con fined to a single copy of each publica tion. Second Newspapers, one copy to eacn actual subscriber residing or re- ooiving tho same within the county where the satno is published but car riers shall not be required to distribute such papers unless postage is paid upon thorn at the usual rates. , The vote on this bill stood yeas, 178; nays, 41. Wo should like to see the namos of those 41 Representatives. Pretty Plaits Talk: Tho World discussing the probabili ty of the impcachmont of the Secre tary of the Treasury, Ricbardson.says: Had the President of tho United States possessed the slightest sense of the decencies, and not to say the du ties, of his high position, bo could net possibly havo allowed twenty-four hours to pass after the testimony of Air. uanneiu was given without re quiring Mr. Richardson either to con vict Mr. Banfield at onco and oponlv of perjury or to vacate bis seal in the Cabinet. This it was a matter of mere docency for him-to do. It was a plain duly lor hi in to request the resignation oi Mr. Kicharsdon long before the appearance of Mr. Banfield on tbo stand, simply anon the ovi- donoo given by Mr. Richardson him self in regard to bis own conduct in bis office. W bona Secretary of the Treas ury is not ashamed to stato solemnly in public that he is habitually ignorant of and indifferent to tho most impor tant transactions which go on within hisDcpartmcnt.the President by whom that Boci clary waa appointed booomee a partner with bim in bis guilt If be permits tbo avowal to pass unpunish ed. Presidents of the United States have not hitherto been accustomed to make up their Cabinets as if they were making up a picnic or a whist party. It may bo, and very possibly it is, much more azrcoablo to Presi dent Grant to associate himsolf offi cially with dull and carolcss and inte rior jnon than with cluvor. laborious and superior men. But when in order to provide those men with tho means of living near his person he calls them to high public trusts, the poople have a right to bold him responsible if they utterly and imprudently negloct to I Li Hill tbo duties of the trusts bo con-, fides to them. Secretary Richardson distinctly declares this to be the case with regard to himselt. Ill course his dopendent and shadow, Mr. .Sawyer, could do no less than imitate tho inso lent candor of his chief. It was not Mr. Banfield who nut these imputa tions upon the heads of the Treasury. No possible confutations of Mr. Ban field can reliove thorn of thoso impu tations. As soon as Mr. Richardson publicly charged himself with this scandalous ignorance and indifference it was tho duty, the plain, imperative duty, of Prosidont Grant to request bim to vacate his post. This duty President urant railed to do. iso ac tion on bis part now can relieve bim of the discredit be thus incurred. Cremation. The N. Y. World is publishing a series of articles in favor of cremation that is, burning instead of burying the dead as was the cus tom among many of tho ancient na tions. Tho press of the wbolo country Is agitating the subject, and cremation promises to be a popular theme though we doubt if tbo custom bocomes prev alent at least in the present age. How ever societies aro being formed both in this country and Europe, tbo mom bors of which plodge thomsolvos that their bodies shall be burned after death. At first thought, cremation sooms barbarous. But the nioro it is con sidered tho nioro rcnsonublo it appears. It was pruclicod by the most enlight ened nations of antiquity. Scientists have established beyond doubt, that animal matter passes from decomposed bodies and forms to the growth or the living. It is asserted that the poison ous gasscs arising from the graves and decomposing bodios, cause cpidom- ics, Buoh as cholera ; and that tho water in wells, is impregnated with dangerous substances, boing tho washings from corpses. Hie almost sacred associations oi tho cemetery, and the mcmotics cher ished by visitinir and decorating the graves of the beloved dead are not rudely to D" intorieroa wun. cut could we look down into the grave and see tho fostering corruption or ghastly skolotons, the mind would turn with satisfaction to tho prospeot of scoing in the future the remains of tho dona pfosorved in the shapo ot ashos in nn urn or occupying a place in the centre of a marble monument. Exchange. The compulsory education bill Intro duced In the House of Reprosentalives of this Stato, by Mr. Oliver of Crawford oounty, was defeated a few days ago, only receiving thirty-four votes in its favor. Tbe light for tha Radionl loadors in tha House is between Butler and Maynard. The worst man will to doubt wis provided always there is any difference) between two peas that art exactly alike, "ft ml ." Another vessel of the Fronoh lino, the L'Amorlque, baa boon lost. The steamer sallod from Now York on the 4th I". tn tha 14th sho touohnd at Brest, landing ber mails and a num ber of hor passongora. Sho then pro ceeded on her way to Havro, and. on the same or the following day she sank, the crew and nassongors fortu natoly boing saved, but tbe vessol and cargo were wholly lost. This la the third disaster that has befallen this lino in fivo months. By tho first, tbo sink ing of tbo Ville du Ilavro, of the 24th of November Inst, two hundred and twenty-six lives wero lost, among thorn those of soveral distinguished Ameri cans and Frenchmen. It is just two weoke since the Europo was aban doned in mid-ocoan with ber bold full of water, and nflor a gallant effort by a brave and skilful salvago crew to keep nor ailoat. an that instanoo, as in tho ono reportod this morning, the crew and passongora wero rescued, hut In both cases It was a 1'roviUontial in lerposition that saved these pooplo iroin a watery grave. It is easy enough to draw a losson from this accnmulation of disasters, but it has boen done so often, and with so lltllo effect on other occasions, that we bositate. The heart sickens at these dreadful disasters and hair broadth escapes. It Is easy enough, too, to join in the hue and cry against this uniorlunate lino, to stop on tho dock of whoso vcssols is like to en tering one's coffin i but which of its rivals offers absolute safety, or has been exempt from accident in tbe Inst year or two f Previous to the Ville du Havre disaster, and even after it, tbo Franco line was one of tho most popular of tho ocean ferries, and partio ulnrly so with Americans, its voasois wore splendid specimons or moacrn naval architecture, their appointments magnificent, and their officers as cour teous and capablo as thoir crews were courageous. It had suffered no loss es, and bad established as good it not a better record than its contemporar ies. 'It has-been unfortunate of -late, but so have the other lines. Not a stoamship has crossod the Atluntio in the last six weeks that has escaped unhurt the lury oi tho wind and waves. The passagos of all have been length enod, a number have been compollod to put back to their starting-places, and eovoral othors would now be at tho bottom of the ocean but for cir cumstances that were almost miracu lous. The truth is, there is no absolute nor even reasonable security to life ana Dronertv in snv ot the ocean-en. ing steam vessels ot the present day. I - D even the tunardors have bad narrow escapes of late. Our own American line has, in the last year, made a hot ter name for itself than any otbor company, and its steamers built for safety as well as speed, for service as won as show have in their bnof ex istence survived storms that would have swampod many a fleot of scom- ncly stanncher ships. 1 lie statistics of ocean disasters in the Inst two years aro appalling. Tbe l'aoiflo Mail Com pany has lost three vessels, the Wbito Star lino bns sustained an equally heavy loss, and few or none of the others can claim entire immunity. J. no number oi lives Bacnuced will probably never be known until Christ comes "to judge tho quick and the dead and the sea gives np its secrets. Th lima ha fnma wlian the old mothods of building ocean steamships must bo reconstructed. It is not im possible to build a steamer that will bo absolutely safo. Tbe storms of the last year or two have boen pbonomenal n their seventy, but the great In crease in the number of disasters Is directly traceable to tho criminal prac tice of longthoning old stcamsphins, and to tbo insane plan of building new ones, in whiob the width of beam is to the longth of the vessel about as one is to twolvo in mathomatics. lue mprovements invented in tho lust twelve years can be counted upon the angers ot one hand, and tuoy aro nearly all in machinery for increasing tbo speed ot tho vessel without adding to its safety.. Tbe mechanical genius of the ago now has its greatest oppor tunity. IVii'tiJcjjAia Press. Another French Steamer Lost. The startling news comes to ns from Havro that anothor of tho vessels of the French line of steamers plying botweon New York and Havre has boon lost. Tho steamer Amerique, of that line, sailed from Now York on the 4th inst. touched at Brest on tho 1 ith to land the mails and such passongers as chose to go ashore, and sailed on tho 6ame day for Havre. On that day the disaster, of which as yet we havo only brief particulars, sooms to have occurred. Happily the pass engers and all on board, except tho second officers, were saved. Thus in the briof space of less than five months, three vessels of tho five composing this French line have boon lost, as follows : The Villa do Havre, November 22d, 1873. TbeUurope, April 4th, 1874. Tho Ameriqno, April 14th, 1874. Thoro remain only tho Pereiro and the St. Laurent, which, we believe,.nro tho oldest of all tho vossels that the company lias owned. At this rate of dtstruction the lino win do extinct in tho course of a fow months. Such fatality would ruin its business evon if tbo two remaining ships were not wrecked. ; , What Gen.
