It ia ot vastly greater importance that lie uci'uiuaiicd niuiiunouiiuiiiiulluw.witb esaonlial jualice. with our catubliabed procedure and the will of tho people us expressed in their ordinary modes of choice. The one living question during tbo! late campaign was tho Administration. The opposition to it was on tho grounds that its discharge of its administrative duties had been a failure ; that its man agement of finance, revenuo, currency, taxation and civil service was cither incompetent or mis-directed ; that its long and almost unchecked hold of power bad engonderud in it corrup tions, which, breaking out sporadical ly in such cases as those of llelknap, Bubcock, Schonck, and Delano, and tbo other robbers, were prools of a deep rottenness; that the system of force and fraud which it inaugurated in tho South was keeping alive cruel resent ments and doing grovious wrong to the whole nation. This waa the ar raignment and should the Tripartite Tribunal find the administation en dorsed by tho election of Hayes, still it will have been dono by such a mure scratch that it will put tho leaders on their best behavior. Tho Itopublican party was on its trial and the jury stood six to six. As early as 1870 the drilt of public opinion against tho dominant party made itscll apparent and from that time steadily increased. By 1872 it had become formidable, even in the Republican party itself, among its fa thers and champions. Tho opposition came to a head last year, when tho power of the Republican party was to be renewed, if possible. Tho move ment attached itscll to the Democratic party as the oi.o existing compact or ganization capable of an effective as sault; but that party can not claim oridil for the shaking up given to its opponents, It embraced a much wider following than that of that party, a following that would not call itself "Democratic." A proficient mathema tician has been at work on tbo figures and they show some very interesting results. The figures contrasting the Administration's highest voto, that, ol 1872, with that given it at the lost election, and tho highest Democratic, 1864 and 1872, show that the opposi tion or Democratic parly bas been growing with prodigious velocity whilo tho Republican or Administration par ly bat decreased in some Slates, baa barely maintained'itsolf in others, and in its most favored localities has lag ged far behind its opponents. This is true of tho thirty-eight Stales except somo of the Western States. In the Now England States tho aggregate vote was 667,000 in round numbers, an aggregate increase of 129,000, of which the Democrats secured 90,000. So, in the land of steady habits tbo Democratic nucleus bos rolled up at tho rate of 45 in 100, while the Repub lican has gathered only in the propor tion of 11 to 100. Tbo fiiends of Mr. Bluine, in Maine, have crept along at the rate of 7 per cent., their adversa ries havo made 17 per cent. In Ver mont the Republicans havo 6, tbo Dem ocrats 68 per cent, increase. In Maino, New Hampshire and Rhode Island, the Democratic increase almost, not quito, doubles the Republican increase. Here it must bo remembered, popula tion docs not increase so rapidly as at the West, but at tbo rate ol progress since 1872, boloro tho next Presiden tial content the Democrats will have four of those six Now Kngland Slates by a majority of 60,000. In tho nino great industrial and manutauturing States of the Northern belt, from the Hudson to tho Mississippi, tho aggre gate incroascd voto was 792,000, ol which 471,000 was Democratic, and 260,00H Republican. Not one ot those States was Democratic in 1872, but four, Now Jersey, Now York, Indiana, and West Vir ginia, are largely so now. , At the same rate ol increase in all, every one will be Democratic before 1880. In the aggregate vote of 800,000 given by the States of the far West, beyond tho Mississippi, the increase has been 234, 1100, of which 108,000 wore won by the opposition and 113,000 by the Admin istration. But even there the dispro portion in the rale of increase was kept up, lor it was still 49 per cent, on the Democratic and 36 per cent, on the Republican vote. If tho samo relative increase is maintained, tbo Democrats will have threo of those Status, wilb a good prospect lor two others, at the next Presidential contest. In the bor der States tho increaso has been 40 por cent. Democratic and 8 J percent Re publican. In tho eight Southern States the Democrats have gained 174,000 and the Republicans 42,000. The Boon Fioht. The Philadel phia Tima says : "A formidable move ment ia being organizod to attempt the passage of a bill, the practical effect ol which will be to remove the Williams Krt Boom from that city to Lock Haven. The bitterness of the dispute between the lumbermen of Williams port and the Boom Company last win ter, and the large assortment ot pro miscuous unsettled accounts which oouldnot well bo collected in tho courts, are relied upon to strengthen the Lock Heron intorest ; but It ia intimated that the Williamsport belligerents aro likely to join their lorcea and make common cause against the new pro tondors. The lobbies have been great ly Inspired at the prospect Of another boom battle, and it is whispered on overy hand that 'tbore's millions in it.' Should the contending parties ol Wil liamsport unite, bo wetor, it Is not prob able that the intended raid on the lumber monopoly of that city will be seriously atteoipted."

Let tux Senator Sceak Again. Wheu John Sherman, United Slates Senator from Ohio, returned from his visit to Now Orleans, he Inlormed the world that J. Madison Wells, President of the Returning Board, was "one of the most upright and high-toned gen tlemen in the State ot Louisiana." Did Shorman tell a deliberate lie, or was lie misinlormed, which? Judge Whitakcr, ol the Now Orleans criminal court. last week, instructed tho grand jury to frame an indictment upon the evidence received against ex-Governor J. Madi son Wells, President ol the Returning Board, for forgery and lierjury. We believe Mr. Hayes or was it tho good President Grant said something once upon a timo to tho effect that no man could afford to accept the Presidency if his election was tainted with fraud. Senator Sherman ought to stand up in his place in the Senate and tell the peo ple onco more what a good and true mantbisj. Madison Wellsis. Wohope Senator Sherman will rise and explain, now that this "high-toned gentleman" has put bis foot in it. N. G. or Pknn'a. Representative Tato has our thanks for a copy of tho Adjutant General's Report for 1876. This department, which has, until re cently, cost tho tax pavers of the Com- illvunrnilu uu, vij oiliuil nuill Ul money, "got away" with a quarter million dollars last year, and tbo re cent bill irnnulaclured at Washington and scntovor to Harrisburg, and there passed a Radical caucus, designs to ap propriate ONE MILLION DOLLARS out of the Treasury for the purpose of supporting a small ring ol military va grants during the next year. Reader, do you obaorve how greedy this gang has become ? Last year they demand ed only $250,000, now 11,000,000. This is a littlo too thick, is it not T And yet when you read tho title under which this gang operates it's a big name "Tho NationulGuard of Pennsylvania," James W. Latla, chief bottle-washer, and Col. Jim. Milliken, over at llolll dayaburg, fusee manufacturer, you will not be surprised that they ask for only one million for next year. Ex-Dix. Ex-Senator, Kx-Socretnry of State, Kx-Sccretary of the Treasury, Kx-Minister to Franco, Kx-Major Gen eral, F.x Governor, Ex-Federalist, Kx- Whig, Ex-Know Nothing, Ex-Demo crat, Ex-Constitutional Unionilc, Ex- Andrew JohiisoniU and Ex-Governor Dix has written a letter to the effect that the Vice President has power to count tho votes. Sucb a view would putin Hayes. The putting in of Hayes would renew Dix in office. To secure nuch a sweet boon and to cease from being "Ex" Dix would unhesitatingly write an opinion to tho effect that the Vice President has power to burn the Electoral certificates and to comptl Hie Senators to use tho ashes tor tooth powder. Dix has been all things by turns and nothing long except an exile from ofllco, and that exile in its ptotractcdnons begins to bo very pain fill to Dix. A Poll Tax. Tho tux bill Intro duced in tho House of Representatives, at Harrisburg, substituting a poll tax in lies of tho tax on trades, professions and occupations, has many favorable features. Tboro will be a simpliuuy in its collection that cannot exist un der the present complicated system. The amount received will exceed thut now collected or remaining after tho collectors' foes have been paid. Tho partiality existing in tbo levy on trades and professions will be obviated and men, if they pay definite sum in snppo rt of theGovcrnmcnt under which they liro, will more highly prize their right of citizenship. Things avo valu able in proportion lu their cost and to the advantages derived, and benefits accruing from them. Casii Indicators.

An exchango says : "Ex-Postmastnr-Gonoral Jowcll, who made his fortune in tho leather; trade, whilo he was Minister to Russia I discovered the manner by which the I ,. , . , ,, .

Mr. Jewell sent ten barrels of it to the various loading leather manu facturers in this country, with instruc tions. The result is that "Russia leather" goods are now lo be made in Amoriea, and doubtless will soon be sold at nearly fifty per centum below old prices, and may, perhaps, go out of fashion." CoNKUMi Pays his Respects to Dawes. In tho course of tho debate in tho Scnnto on tne electoral count bill, Mr. Duwes on taking his seut, muttered something about how they did things in Mussachnetts, to which Mr. Conkling said : "The idea that any thing upon the earth or in tho heaven above could be as perfect as they made things in Massachusetts hudid not en tertain for one minute. When tho other Suites of thu Union even approx imated thu perfection ul Massachusetts, the timo will have come when no prob lem could exist thut could not be solv. ed. Kveu contested Presidential voles would count themselves, and the whole universe would goon by automatic and self-adjusting procesB." Good For Yoc Tho editor of the Williumnport Bulletin says: "Hon. L. A. Mackey, of Lock Haven, voted for tho Compromise Electoral Bill. Hut, tho nutno of Hon. S, Ross, represent ing this district in Congress, did not appear among thoso voting for or against tho Electoral Bill. Indeed bin name seldom appears in any vole." That's good for you ; tbo Democrats offered tho people of your district a first-class man, like Mr. Mackey, but they were foolish enough to be bull dozed into voting lor a dead beat liku Sobeskia Ross. It may be a littlo rough on tho constituents, but it's good fun for Sobeskia. TheCaimtol Removal Bill. Tho Philadelphia ring was badly defeated ill their attempt to remove the State Capitol from Harrisburg to Philadel phia. A few days previous to tho vote it was announced that one hun dred and fivu in the House and twenty eight in the Senate favored the removal. But when tlio vote was tukun in the former body, it stood yeas, fifiy.soven nays one hundred and twonty. That settles tho question for tbis Legisla ture, riei.ty of cash might bring about a reconsideration of tho ques tion, but it is hardly likely.

The id-publican party of l'uiinsyivunia is loyal to tho National Government, and just so soon at dunger is apparent, will hasten to the rescue with men and means; but until danger is imminent tburo can be i;o good cause of appro priating so vast a sum to bo expended recklessly. Our militia ia in a much belter condition now than in 1860, and should real danger threaten there ouiu be no lack ol men and nicuns to check any incipient rebellion which might threaten the peace of the coun try." Tellino. the Truth. This is some thing Radical politicians seldom en gage in ; but, Senator Robertson, ol South Curolina, made a speech in the tinted Slates Seuato on Monday in favor of recognising Hampton as the legal Governor of that Slate. Senator Robertson is a Republican, but about the reputable white Republican in the the Senate from the South. Spcukingon tho question of intimidation, he said there was none on the part of the whiles toward tbo blacks ut the lute election, but that many blacks were kept from voting the Democratic ticket by Republicans of ibeir own color. Senator Rcberlaon only confirms the ovidenco taken by the Congressional committees in this respect. Saward's Coal Trade Journal, of Jan nary 24th. says : An important decision wan rendered in Philadelphia on Fri day last; tho K itluning Coal Company, against John C.

The Yelp or the Knave. Camer on's dog, Forney, of the Philadelphia Prm, yelps in this way: "Now, we believe that Governor Hayes is the President-elect ol tho United States, but whilo so believing, we have al ways said the Republican party has always naid if the constituted author ities decide otherwise, we shall submit. It amounts to nothing to say that tho Democratic party has never said so, through Tilden, Hendricks, Congress, or any of its authorities. Violence is their mission ; and they would be quito as ready to fly to arms to-day to seat Tilden as they were in 1861 to unseat Lincoln, if they were not afraid ol thecunsequoncosof anothor conflict." C'nsrx ar the Acre. A Radical member of the Legislature from Alle gheny county, last week Introduced a resolution In that body declaring Hayes and Wheeler elected President and Vice President. That demagogue can still farther his toadyism by intro ducing another resolution declaring Hayes Emperor.

How. ever, ho seems to be a very geod tool lor the Cameron's, and they may not be able to find another so cheap as Long, and tbareforo, be may bold pos ition during thU session. , INTEREST OX DEPOSITS.

Wahiiinuton, February 1, 1877. Thu first act in the ull absorbing Presi dential count was presented to-day, de cently and in order, before an Immense and brilliant ansemblage. Tho day wan propitious in every way, the weather being utmost mild enough lor spring, and the streets in excellent condition. Tbo hour set liir the Joint Convention us 1 o'clock, but several hours before that the avenue was lined with people und thronged with carriages, all mov ing in the direction of the Capitol. The police arrangements wore admirable, greatly conducing to the conilort of visitors. Cards of admission had to be shown ut the entrance doors on thu w ings and rotunda, and again present ed to the sentinels who guarded the approaches to thu galleries. The seat ing capacity of thu House gallery wan comlbrtiibly exhausted by 12 o'clock, und the throng waited patiently through tho remaining hour. In the Diplomatic Gallery were various dis tinguished gentleman and ladies of the English, Spanish, and Austrian Lega tions, and the wives ot some few of the Cabinet Ministers, while tho elite of Washington society was generously represented in the audience. Seats wore reserved for the Senators in the rows to tho Siculer's right, and large chairs of honor were placed for the distinguished counsel around tho semi circle immediately in front of the Sieukcr's desk. In the same space were tables tor tho clerks and official reporters of the Senate and House. Promptly at 12 55 o'clock, Clerk Adams inlormed the Senate that the House wus ready to receive them in joint session, and without delay the Senators passed arm-in-arm through the long ball to the other wing ol the Capitol, thu crowds in the rotunda giv ing way in good order. As the van guard entered the Hall of Representa tives, the members of the Houso rose to receive them on announcement ot tbo Speaker. Tho Senators tben took seats without any special order, Vice President Ferry taking possession on Speaker Randall's right, while the tell ers, Senators Ingalls and Allison and liepreseututivus Cook atul Slono, oc cupied thu tli-s t desk below the presid ing officer. In the chair of honor at the bar of the Houso were Justices Field and Millur; the Hon. Suinuol Shullbarger and the Hon. Stanley Mat thews on thu left, and Secretary Chand ler, the Hon. Win. M. Evarla, and Judge Jeru. Block to the right. I in mediately behind the laiier named gentlemen wuru Senators Frvlinghliv sen and Cameron of Pennsylvania, and on the lutler'a lull sat Mr. Bell of the London JUuttrattd Xcwt, with pencil and sketch book in hand. Far back on the lull sat the Hon. Lyman Trum bull besidu Representative Le Moyne of Illinois. Near them was ex-St-na tor Kenton of Now Yoik. On the right of Eugene Hale, who occupod Ira regular seat, sat the Hon. K. W. Stoughlon ol New York, of the Repub lican counsel, and to his right wan the ruddy socor Koheson. 1 lie Congres sional mumhers of tho Joint Coniinin ninn were scattered through the hall as near as Ksnihle, the House members being in their regular seats. Senator Edmunds and Representative lluuton sat near together. Senator Morton sat immediately on the right of the cen tre aisle, in a row with Senators Hum. illon, Mitchell, West, and Wright. In the row of seats in tho rear ot the above named sal Duvid Dudley Field. Randolph Tucker, and Goo. A. Jeiiks, tho objectors on the part of the House. All were, in fact, grouped together without any regard to politics or na tional tame, and the scuno presented was simply an unusually quiet sen of laces turned Intently on the presiding officer, and in turn scrutinised curious ly by the gallery spectators. At twenty minutes past 1 o'clock Mr. Ferry ordered tho count ti pro ceed, and the State ol Alabama was called. Tho rumor had gone forth that Representative Jero. Haralson and Senator George Spencer would enter a protest to receiving this vote. Ac cordingly, when objections were asked tor, all eyes turned toward Haralson in expectation. The dusky Alabamian sat near the back row of scats, but matte no sign, and the voU was quiet. ly recorded, Senator Morton watched tho proceedings with a look of con tcmptuous resignation. Tho first mile stone was thus passed salely with Tib don and Hendricks in the lead by tun. Arkansas came next with six moro, followed by t'alifor.iia with six for Hayes and vt heeler. 1 hen Colorado, tho name of tho baby Stale, at once suggested Frank Hurd as possible objector, but ha met the inquisitive glunces of his neighbors with a good- natured smile, and the Hayes column was credited with three mora voles. According to the provisions of the bill it would have been a senseless waste of time for any one to raise objections wiicre mere waa out one set or returns, and tbo folly was not attempted. Con necticut wheeled Into line with six lor fildcn, and Delaware with throe more. The Vice President made a laughable blunder when he put the Anal request lor niijuctions to the vote ol IMawaro. Like every 0110 else he hsd Florida on the brsin and Introduced her ahead of time, and much to the amusement of the members and spectator. The mention of Florida, created the first real interest of toe day. Tbe lounirsrs on the floor in tbe rear of the seats suddenly grew curious and closed in around llui imwnlitirs. while tbu no. cupants ol tho galluries leaned forward l v a common muulsu to watch the, process of referring double returns. It r.Hj,.lred fully an hour to iro over the disputed field, to rcud thu eight double rot urns, with all the technicalities und tlio objections presented ill writing on both sides, Florida had hardly been announced when Representative Thompson, Chuirinun of the House committee to that Stutu, apnarud at tbu end of the aislo, attended by his S.orelary, Mr. Dickson, biaiing two immense bundles of Florida diH'iiiiientn a, frm; ,,f jnr.m.rin,! i..l a.i tiauaelit battlu in thu House last night.)

Tho tilloen members of tbu Tribunal at once assembled in the Supreme Court Chamber, with counsel for the opposing sides. Two I urge tables have been placed at either end of tbe Su preme bench. On the right of Presid ing Justice Clifford are Justices Miller und Strung and Senators Edmunds. Morton, Frelinghtiysen, Jtuyard, and Thnrman, in the order named. On tho left are Justices Field and Bradley, and Representatives Payne, Hiinlon, Abbott, Garfield, and Hoar, so thut the last two named Representatives luce Senators Thurman and Bayard. Thu Democratic counsel are sealed ut thu lirst table beyond the bench. They aro Messrs. Black, Trumbull, Field, Merrick, Tucker, and Jeiiks, to which distinguished circle will no doubt, us was suggested by Mr. Field, bo added tho Hon. Charles O Conor of New York. At tho tables beyond are Messrs. Evarta, Matthows. Stougbton. Sbullabarger, McCrury, Kunnon, and Sargent. Thu quarters aro so small that only a low spectators can bo ad mitted, and during open sessions the gullery is reserved tor members of thu press. After a very briel session, in which a few unimportant details in procedure were arranged, tho Tribunal adjourned until to-niorrow at 10. HO u. m. Then tbe great casu wi.l be openod on tho part ol counsel for the Democratic relators. Nxarlt Drownedat Baptism.

It can be beard five miles away from the well. Tho gas ia burned as it pro ceeds from the pipes sending up a mass ol Hume to the bight ot twenty- five to forty tout with a heat so intense as to make summer in all its vicinity. The ground is warm and grass is grow ing williin a radiua til one hundred loot.
