We novor saw a more senseless pro
position made by a sensible man. The
newspaper editor Democrat or Radi
calwho did not know as early aa tbe
drat duy of December, that Senator
Cameron would be re-elected, had bot.
ter look out for soma other calling, or
conceal bis ignorance in tbe tuture.
Again, tbe Democrat who advised this
piece of dirty work is not dealing
honestly with his party friends. We
are pleased to know that every Sena-
-J al-..... A .-J -I-- - "
suggested by Senator Wallace and bia
Iriends, and roted straight for Con
gressman Clymer. Tbe Agnew Dem
ocrats have the floor ; let us hear from
them.
SO USD TO THE CORE.
With al! tbe temptations held out to
the Democratic members of the Seoato
and House, during the recent bitter
Senatoriul contest, not one of them
could bo led estray by the promise of
office or greenbacks. Every Demo
cratic member voted for our nominee
Hon. Heister Clymer. Thing looked
a little squally ior the "young Senator'
for a wnue, because twenty-fiva of his
party friends refused to enter the Sen
atorial caucus. This produced what
is termed "a family jar," and tbe Had
ical leaders commenced to " bait" Dem
ocrats at once, intending to elect Don
over tbe heads of the rebel element
within their own party. This proved
a failure, so far as the Democrats were
concerned. Tbe leadore next struck
for the Greenback camp. There thoy
purchased three members, one from
Schuylkill, one from the new county
of Lackawanna, and one from Lycom
ing, and after one day's fishing among
the aforesaid twenty -five, six of the
absentee were scooped up. These
noble nine secured Don's election, and
tbo notice went out. On election day
fourteen more of the rebels bad their
votes tallied for Cameron, and thoy
voted louder than any other men in
the Chamber.
Local Sport. An exchange aava
" Up in Wayne county there is a row
between Judge Waller and the Com
missioners as to where Court shall be
hold. The old Court House is demol
ished, tbe new one far from completion
The Judge wants to hold Court in
Liberty Hall, Uonesdale; the Com
misiioners say it is too expensive to
rent and ordor him to an out-of the-
way tavern. He swears he will bold
Court wherever be pleases. The Com
missioner say that unless the Courts
are held in the room thoy havo rented
they will not pay any ol tbe Court ex
penses. The next Court meets In Feb
ruary. The Yon Alatine murder case
and the case of tbe Uollisterville bur
glars are to bo tried. Tbe county
newspaper baa tbe proclamation ol tbe
Court calling jurors and others to meet
in Liberty Hall. Another newspaper
bas itcalling them together in Weaver'a
hall."
Pennsylvania's Way. Tbe Bed
ford Gazette, in alluding to tbe Sena
torial affairs, says : " Pennsylvania i
tbe second State in tbo Union, so far
as population is concerned, and in
many respects she ia far ahead of her
sisters who form tbe compact of States.
Holding such an exalted position she
should bo represented in the high
oouncils oi tbe nation by men of the
most noted ability. Other States see
to it that this is done. W bile New
York sends a Conkling and a Kernan,
Delaware a Bayard, Ohio a Tburman,

USITED STATES MARSHALS
A SD ELECT OSS.
A remarkable array of figures, pur
porting to show tbo number oi United
States Deputy Marshals used by Attor
ney General Taft, In carrying tbo elec
tion of 1876 for the Republicans, is
printed in some of tbe papain. It is
said that, by the Attorney General's
own report, it appears that twelve
thousand five hundred and seventy
nine persons were employed in this
work. Their apportionment would
seem to have been on a simple basis ol
partisan necessities, and without any
regard whatever to cost, legality or
propriety. In South Carolina there
were nearly four hundred on duty at
seventeen precincts; in Louisiana, sev
enteen hundred for one hundred and
twenty precincts; in Virginia, two
hundred and fire for thirty-flvo pro
cincta; in Delaware, one hundred and
thirty-five for ten precincts; in Mary-
laud, twolve hundred and twenty-two
for one hundred and fifteen precir.cls;
and so ou, tbe doubtful States having
required the most looking after.
There is no doubt, remarka the I'bila
delphia Times on this subject, of tbo
great prostitution of this branch ol the
public aorvice to partisan ends during
General Grant's administration, and
even since. Tbe House of , Repreeen

a bill of particulars, and despite Gen

are thus fastened upon the government,
with the view of influencing the peo

simple justice that the people should
know exactly who they are, exactly
what tboy have done, and exactly
what tbe sorvices cost the country.

It is CoMiNti. The European plan
ol forced education has appeared in the
Houso at Uarrisburg. Mr. Fulton, one
ol lbs Radical members from Indiana
county, presented in the House at Uar
risburg, on Monday the 20th, an act
compelling children to attend school,
and providing punishment for those
who fail to comply with tbe require
ments of the act. Tbe subject of com
r r .4-alw .-- (. 1. 1 v i
there is a divorsity of opinion among
all classes of persons. Oor opinion is
that we had better try and do without
encumbering our form of Government
with any European attachment, be
cause if we adopt one phase of Despot
ism we will soon be called upon to add
another, and in this way, in a very
short time find the Republio demolished
and a Royal form of government insti
tuted. Something of that kind would
just be in Grant's fist after ha returns
from his four years' European tour and
Education.
The Kaole Eyed. A co temporary
remarks: "While Mr. Hay os keeps bis

His acceptance of a special agency ia
an indication that under tbe new
regime in Louisiana lha Republicans
who waxed fat under Kellogg are hav
ing a hard time of it and are now
ready to gladly accopt almost any
thing in the way of Federal susten
ance." U A Bad Fix. The Washington
Republican complains that it can't get

Tuose Kid Gloves. The manufac
turer and traders in kid glovea have
kept up a kind of rebellion in tbe New
York Custom House during the past
year. The Philadelphia Record in al
luding to the controversy, says : "Tbo
pith of tbe controversy about tbe im
portation ol kid gloves lies bid in the
truth or lalsity of the statement that
tbe invoices of leading, importers in
Xew York aro undervalued. Upon
what was regarded as satisfactory evi
dence of such undervaluation the Gov
ernment has refused to accept the evi
dunce ol the invoices in collecting cus
toms. One of the leading importing
firms of New York bas demanded of
Congress an investigation in which all
parties shall have an even chance to be
represented. It is also proposed to
solvo tho difficulty by so changing tho
law as to make the duty upon kid
glovea specific instead of ad valorem
This would bring (o a dead stop tbe
present cause nf quarrel, but whether
it would operate to the benefit of the
persons who wear kid gloves is a ques
tion of some doubt. Possibly they are
entitled to more consideration thau the
sellers, io virtue cf their greater num
ber." Pbkttt DKEr Ssow. The Erie Her
ald tolls it in ibis way : "During the
lata storm somo of tbo railroads were
badly blocked, and reports come to us
of snow drifts twenty feet deep, but
the following account that tran.ipired
on the Chautauqua Lake railroad, the
worthy mail agent, Hubbard, ia re
sponsible lor. He says that they got
stuck in a drilt near Mayville, and the
wind and snow waa hlawinc,.l.arully.
xue vouuuetur walked back to tbe
atation and telegraphed for the track
bands to come and shovel them oul,
and while tbey wero waiting, he and
a number of tbe passengers went out
to a farm house to get something to
eat. They returned alter an hour or
two, but the train was nowhere to bo
soon, and he concluded that it bad
either gone or drilled out of eight, and
in wading around be fell into tbe
smokestack. Noxt,"
Dead. Goo. S. llilliard, ono of the
legal and literary lighta of the nation,
died at Longwood, Mass., on tbe 21st,
aged 70 yeura. He waa an editor,
orator, lawyer and frequent contribu
tor to reviews. Mr. Hilliard was in
early life the law partner ot Charlos
Sumnor, and was in those daya consid
erod Mr. Sumner's equal in scholarship
and bis superior in lorensic ability. It
was a common saying in Boston about
tbo time Mr. Sumner began taking a
prominent part in the anti slavery
struggle, that Sumner was a man who
had given up brilliant social position
for his principles, and that Hilliard had
given up a brilliant political career fur
society, But unfortunato expressions
and bad luck in getting on the losing
side, failed to mako his future what
his earlier days gave promise of.
A Modest Request. We notice by
the Legislative proceedings, that Mr.
Doyle, one of tbe mombers in the
House from Huntingdon, has intro
duced a bill appropriating tit hundred
thousand dollars ((000,000) toward
building the new Penitentiary at that
place. This might bave passed current
when there was a balanco of two mil
lions of dollars in the State Treasury,
but now when that establishment is
short about that amonnt, it is pretty
oheeky. However, thero i consider
able virtue in asking lor what you
want. Too much modesty on that
point is often fatal. Huntingdon is
full oi the former talent.
An Able Senator. Tbe Democrats
in tha United States Senate will be
strengthened by the presence nf Gen
eral Zob Vance. He was in tbe Thirty
sixth Congress, on the eve of the war.
H was opposed to secession. He was
a General in '.ha Confederacy and Gov
ernor ot aorth Uarolina in war
time. In that capacity be bad a row
with Jeff Davis and worsted him. He
was olocled to a aeat in the Senate in
1871, but ho was under political dii
billty, and was not seated. In 1876
be defeated Judge Softie for the Guber

There is a War Department parly

New York bad a bad fire on Friday,
tho 17lh. The loss amounts to millions.
It occurred In tho centre of the whole
sale dry goods portion of the city,
bounded by Broadway, Worth, Church
and Thomas streets, destroying four
massive iron oilliuillgs.
The start was in the third floor of
Nos. 02 and 61 Worth street, occupied
by Neuss, Hosslein & Co., linen dealers.
Tbe alarm was promptly given. The
buildings Irom Church street to Broad

girders and floors ore Georgia pine,
and there are no partition walla be
tween Worth and Thomas streets.
Thu fire ran t broach tbo buildiinr
with frighllul rapidity und tho flumes
wore quickly aeon in Thomas street.
Tbe pilch-pine floors and girders ibrow
out an intense beat. Tho aky waa

threw a reflection upon the clouds that
lighted tho lower portion ot tho city.
Hy nine o'clock the light was so bril
liant you could soo to pick up a pin on
inuiiy ol the down town streets. Coals
ul bro rained upon the blocks toward
the Bultcry and hissed in tho snow
banks in the City Hall Park. The
bright light illuminated the church
steeples and shot towers, and brought
oul in startling rebel the massive piles
occupied by the Pud Office, the West
ern Union Telegraph Company and
tho Mutuul and Kquiiuble Lite Insur

Worth street were quickly going, and
all down town engines were brought
in play,

houso, directly opposite, was in con
stant danger and nothing oxoopt the

' The pom p and display of Inaugurat

well remarks :

ibis resolution will be bust understood
by a referenco to tbe costs incurred at
previous Inaugurations. When Gov

iho cost was but a few hundred dollara,
but since that day tbe ceremony bas
been accompanied with ever increas

to the present incumbent, whnsn in.

"Ah, yes, sir," was the hearty, deep
tonod reply, "never man more. I be
lievo, as confidently as 1 do live, that
prayera of the people saved my life. I
will tell you why I fuel and believe it
so firmly. While I was lying here at

read il to mo, then urged me to listen
to tho kind, loving words of tho man
ol God and to rouse my will to live.

H oun limilly bo doubted thai it is
pari ol tno liepuuiican plan tur tho
campaign of 1880 to usu an army of
Deputy United Slates Marshals to con
trol the elections, just as they used tlie
Uniled States troops in the Bayonet
States in 187C. These cases of coiifU-i

are to bo used with crushing tllai
hereafter, unless tho country rouses ii.

theso deputies out of the United States

poople to overthrow thoir rights and
perpetuate tho Radicals in power. Now

THE
Tho Radicals might as well have
been honest and allowed Tildon, the
rightfully elected President, to have
tMlri-n lita aaal, aua nsir baa
proved to tbein a most delusive one.
Iluyes has not como up to their ex
pectations and many ol the leaders of
his party halo him intensely. No one
moro so than Senator Conkling, who
only tho other day assailed the.siirper
in a secret session of tbe Senate, in
tbe most violent and abusivo Ian
gnoge. So fiercely and disrespectfully
indeed, us to compel tho President of
the Senate, Wheeler, tocalltho former
lo ordor as "speaking disrespectfully of
tho President of tbe Uniled Stales,"
Conkling rejoined by stating that lis
was "speaking of Mr. Have." Thus
indirectly admitting that he had no
confidence in Huye's title. Tho ani
mus ol thu attack on Uttyes hy tin
New York Senator comes from the
turning of Conkling's friends out of
the New York Custom house and tbe
appointing in place-, Iriends of the
administration. Arthur, Conkling's
friend, is charged wilh mullcasancc in
ofllco by the administratis!. The fight
is a hitler one and promises lo continue
and spread.
To give a faint idea ol how low the
Hayes administration has fallen among
those who sunk their souls in guilt to
achieve his usurpation of tho Presi
dential office, wo quote the following
from a iiudical journal : Sieaking of
Conkling's election as Senator by the
Nuw York legislature, it says:
"Thu lluy.a Administration, if it
over hud any owcr in Now orfc
Slnlo certainly has none now. Thero
were a lew Republican elected lo the
Legislature as Administration men,
but they have either become disgiisle-t
wuh ibeir platlorm, or else, seeinif tbo
overwhelming naluro of tbo torrent
against theni, concluded to float with
it. Forxluysthe Administration organs,
throughout tho country havo boeti as-
sailing Conkling for his magnificent
reply to the attack madu upon him by
Hayes ami Sherman, in tho matter of
thu Now York Ciutom House nomina
tions, uml rumors have been circulated
from Administration sources of th
powerful combination that was form
ing to defeat his re-election as Senator.

To this end is proposed thu construc

by which a portion ol tho Nile flood)
water, with its annual burden of soil
robbed from tho fertile slopes of tha
Abyssinian plateaux, shall be diverted
into theso deserts, where it may depos
il ita rich aodiment on the sands, and
also in igalo them. This, it is thought,
can be accomplished by tho erection of
suitable dams and sluices at different
poinla of the Nile, which structure
would also greatly improve tho aavaga
lion of the river.
