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.

out of the Treasury for the purpose of
supporting a small ring ol military va

do you obaorve how greedy this gang
has become ? Last year they demand

would renew Dix in office. To secure
nuch a sweet boon and to cease from

write an opinion to tho effect that the
Vice President has power to burn the

Senators to use tho ashes tor tooth

exile from ofllco, and that exile in its
ptotractcdnons begins to bo very pain

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

Stkanuk Leuislation. House Bill
No. 97, introduced in our Legishituru,
to "prevent cruelty to children" in an
awful discount on the Christian Kra,
anil it takes five sections to reguluto it
at that. The author of that bill should
assmno to cure ull manner of morul

just as much sense in this as fur our
Inw-makers to sav, on and after the
first duy of April next, tho water in

Commonwealth, jiiim run the other icay.
How would that do when viewed from
a civilization stand point? Vet, it is no

aphorisms of human nature cannot lie
cured, or even improved by statuary
law. Thoso wrongs aro liko the tide

to change them.

in tho Scnnto on tne electoral count

Mr. Conkling said : "The idea that any

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

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

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. Scott Co. ; a contract
was made in writing in thu early part
of 1874 by which the Defendants were
to tuke 50,1100 tons of coal in monthly
proportions from March 1st, 1874 lo
February 28th, 1875, notice to be given
by tbo Delendants before tho 25lb of
each month, as to how much would be
required the following month ; some
18,000 tons was delivered and paid for,
and this suit was for damages sustain
ed by plaintiff in consequence ol the
non-perlormanco ol the balanco of said
contract, which rjsullod in a verdict
for plaintiff, 120,866.88.
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. Long has assumed
to bo the Radical leader in tho House,
but we shall bo very much mistaken if
he holds that position very fanj. 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. ,

THE PlIESWEXTIAh COUXT.
the rntsT joint mession in the hall
or Htl'KESENTATIVES.
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

and Representatives Payne, Hiinlon,

Senators Thurman and Bayard. Thu

aro Messrs. Black, Trumbull, Field,

tho Hon. Charles O Conor of New

Messrs. Evarta, Matthows. Stougbton.
Sbullabarger, McCrury, Kunnon, and
Sargent. Thu quarters aro so small
that only a low spectators can bo ad

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

tbo volume ot gas suddenly ascending
proving so strong that no further drill

curried Irom tb j mouth of the wull by
two Z inch pipes, train which tbu
Bradford Era says "the gas belches

from the noise produced by its escape."
It can be beard five miles away from
the well. Tho gas ia burned as it pro

as to make summer in all its vicinity.
