The Last Miser. The Mauch Chunk Democrat says that tho dead body of Thomas Costen, an old miser, was found in bis but, near Caruondale, recently, and that a search of the promisoa brought to light a chest con taining $16,000. A Good Mother. Mrs. Botsy Per kins, of Taunton, Massachusetts, who romembors incidents of one of Wash ington's inaugurations, recently cele brated her one hundredth birthday by giving to all of bor daughters a ono thousand dollar bond.

It will, thorcfore, be in order to publish tbe names of candidates on and after the 10th of August. All candidates will please tuke notice. New-s. An exchange says : "John C. New, of tho Indianapolis Journal, a friend of General Grant, says the Goneral will never allow his name to bo again used as that of a Presidential candidate, and that no true friend of his will ever wish it to be used. True as to the last part, sure as to the first well, thoro are doubts." Not so Badly Plundered After All. It turns out that Gen. Grant's "solid silver" toilot. box, of which ho was robbed, was only plated. The value of tho stolen "jewels" has alio been exaggerated. Pecuniarily, tho theft did not amount to much, but the fact that tho greatest soldier of the ago was its victim, givos it a certain re flected magnitude. ScaU'Ers. It is predicted by tho Missouri Republican that whon Gar field and Blaino got through with Conkling they will dovolo thcmselvos to the demolition of tho political houses of Cameron and Logan. Third term scalps seem to be wanted at tbe Whito House just now and thero is no telling when this wild hunt for stal wart hair may stop. No Improvement. Tho Hebrew Messenger is of tho opinion that such a time-honored prayer as "Our Fa thor wbo art in Heaven," it would soom, has entered too doeply into the hearts and minds of Christians, and is too closely identified with tho tender- est phases of family life, to permit of oven the slightest verbal change "De liver us from tho evil one," instead ofj "Deliver us from evil," will not be a welcomo specimen of the work of re vision. A Good Riddance. Tho notorious General Tyner, First Assistant Post mastor General, has been removed they say "ho has rosignod." He is so walloped in with his confederate (Brady) in tho Star route bids, that if they get their just dues they will both land in tho penitentiary, together with a flock of other fellows who have plundered tho Troasury of millions of dollars during the past ten years. Qceer Comfort. The West Cites- tor Record, the organ of Stato Treas urer Bntler, thus speaks of Chairman Cessna : "Hon. John Cessna doesn't believe in tho nonsense about letting tho office sock the man, but exactly tbe revorso. He wants to be Judge and advortisci the fact strongly whore he thinks bo can make votes. If tho Bedford county pooplo have any aym pathy for the balance of the Slato, thoy will put him on the Bench and he will afflict uino more." Marvelous Thinos. Lot It not be forgotten that when Mr. Blaine publicly seised and carried off his own compromising correspondence, af ter having begged Mulligan on his kneei to aave him from disgraco and ruin, he bad tbe audacity to road pre pared extracts from those letters on the floor of the House, upon which a lame defence of the alleged corruption was made. But he absolutely refused to submit tbe abstracted letter! to the Committee of Investigation, or lo any open inspection. lie then destroyed the proofs by which the charges made against him were to be sustained. How be was able, as a publio man, to sur vive that scandal, and soon after to cone near being nominated for the Presidency, it one ot tbe marvels of these times. HARMONY, ANYHOW. Somebody bus sent us a copy of a thrco quarters patent newspaper, pur porting to bo published at llarrisburg, Po., entitled Every Saturday Kitlit, Dr. J. II. lluyea, editor. The number of May 28tb contain a lieciili-d pun of tho notorious Siciiker of the House (Howit), and a member of the sume body from our nativo county (Lycom ing), named Bierly. The latler was nominated three years ogo by the Democrats of that county and defeat ed by tho people. Last Kail the Dem ocrats put him in the fluid again, and he was elected by accident. Ho went to Harrisburg as a Democrat and vot ed for Howit, the Radical nominee for Speakor, and for this complnnont be was made Chairman ol an important standing Committee, and othorwise complimented by tho bpcaker during tho session. When called to an ac count by somo Williauispoit Demo crats for voting against tbo Demo cratic nominee for Speaker, Mr. John E. Fannco, (the ablest man in the House on either side), bo flippantly remarked : "Faunce is a rooster." More: After Mr. Wallace becamo tho nnanimous nominee of our party for Senator, this lame individual dur ing that long contest frequently voted for outsido parties, now is that for roosloring f Again: The writer who gets off such a decided puff for Howit and liiorly in the samo column must be an artist, because tho harmony ho has produced must bo apparent to tho most casual reader. Bierly may suit Lycoming Domocruts of modern times, but he is too cuto for tho school of forty years ago, and wo Bhall be very- much mistaken if hoevorgots another office at tho bands of tho Democrats of Lycoming. His party bohavior in tho Houbo is worso than that of any other member on our sido. " Government" Lies. Ex-Senator Conkling, of Now York, who is one of tho most refined stalwart Radicals, in words to that effect, declares that President Garfield is a liar. An ex change says : Thl. would bo a aerioue matter If charged by n Democrat but Kepublieane know each other'e llttlt weakDeaae. io well that nothing le thought of it whon they ohnrgo mob other with breaking one of the eommandmeota.

This isindoed a wonderful onslaught on "the Government." However, it is not so effective on the personal liga ments after all as Nihilism tho Rus sian :l an of extinguishing a ruler. Wo havo no doubt but that Garfield will survive this attack much better than Conkling. Ono thing is certain : Tboso Radical leaders will give m all the naked truth in relation to this inward rottenness of Radicalism, which, when fully revealed, will astonish men of all parties because of its grossness. More Centennial. We notice that the Ri-Centennial Association of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Ib la boring strenuously, with the eo opera tion of the Slato authorities and tbe municipal government of Philadelphia, to provide an imposing celebration of tho two hundredth anniversary of tbo founding of Philadelphia. Tho grand celebration will take place in Novom her, 1882, but tho first preparatory public demonstration will be made on tho 4th of July next, in the Centonnial Buildiog, Fairmount Park, Philatlel phia. That preliminary movement is intended to be a great mass mooting of tho citizens of tho Slato. Thero will bo eloquent addresses by distin guished orators, music by an immonso combination orchestra, drill and dress parade by tho military, with many other holiday amusomonts. We trust that this patriotic movement iu honor of the groat founder of Pennsylvania will be liberally sustained by the poo pie of the State at largo. A Census Memorandum Tho fol lowing statement, which will bo of in terest to many of our agricultural readers, giving tbe results of the first count of tho cereal crops of 1879 1880 in comparison with that of 1809-1870, has just been furnished by the Census Buroau : Aerea.

An Honest Confession. Tho Phil adelphia Evening Telegraph congralu latcs itself that it rocogniicd in Ma- hono a renegade Democrat, a blatant, unrepentant rebel, and a ropudiator of publio debts. II rncognlzcd in Riddlo- borger a low politician of the same sort, and in Gorham a free lanoe Re publican, who had dofoatod the Repub lican candidato of his State for Gov ernor, for purely selfish loosons, and it therefore opposed a bargain which took those men into the Republican fold and made tbo Rcpnblican party responsible for them and thoir politi cal principles." More Salary G rah. The Clinton Democrat says: "It is now avowed by prominent members of the Legislature that tbe sole purpose of remaining in session for the post month was to head the Governor and Attorney Goneral in the matter of tho salary grab. The surrender of the Governor is complete, abject, disgraceful. The only barriers to the steal now aro the Stato Treas urer and tbe Supreme Court As tho wholo subjoct is in the hands of the Radicals, tho peoplo noed not look lor much quarter. If the Constitution and docency be respected it will be unusual for the officials of that party." "Bid Injitni." The word "stal wart," applied to one faction of the Republican party, in contradistinction to tbe terms "independent" and "half- breed," Is derived from two Saxon word, ttael and nvrf, which ilgnify worth stealing. "Stalwart," then, should only be applied to those statesmen who will steal anything that is worth ileal- ing. A friend suggests that, if this definition is correct, tbe term Includes two thirds of the Republican party. THE LOWER HOUSE. j It is mortifying to us, that wo are compelled to conlexs that we have nov el- looked upon stub bud behavior ill tbs iWT House lit iiuriiHburg as during tho pal session, although we have annually looked into tbe publish ed proceedings ol that body, and per sonally visited it for the past twenty years. An exchange, in speaking of the composition of t lie present Legis lature of this Stutu, and the iniapacity and immorality of its members, sums up its opinion as follows: Our Legislative halla are peeked with ruwjiaa. prvfanora end tbe aoum of tea-pot bouae political aoboola. Men wbo eao aceroely define tho diff.r enoe between Incoet and araon arooleclod to make our lawr, and it la atnled oo authority, that not ton men can bo found In tbo Houao that oan frame a atatule. Kvery day violence la done to parliamentary naage, nnd oven tbo ru'ee ol com mon deeooey are aet aalde. Profanity la need without rebuke from the Speaker, while men reel loto their eeelo freih from tbe beer anlooo or bagnio. This is severe, but true. More: And by aisociuting with tho members and observing their deportmont for several days, we came lo tho conclu sion that from his personal behavior and closo attention to buBines, the member from Clearfield, (Jas. Flynn) discharged his duties in overy sense. He was always in his seat and voted right every lime (so far as we under stand public affairs), and wo hare no doubt but that tho rest of his constit uents will thank him for not compro mising thorn during his stay at the Capital. If be has dono anything of the kind it has escaped our notice, and wo will thank any taxpayer that will bring a politicul sin of omission or commission of Ins lo otir notice. Peace to its Ashes. Tho New York Herald says tho Republican party has in the general opinion lulfillcd its mis sion. Why should it not go to nieces ? Why should any one of its honest vo tors mourn ovor its disappearance ? It may not be dead at this moment, but it is rotten. To say that such a party, which deliberately chooses Dorsey as one of its publio manipulators and un- blushiugly givos him publio dinners which has protected and honored Mr. Robeson, which openly courts th friendship of public plunderers, which during four years sheltered Brady in his Star route jobberiei and took part of his gains for its campaign fund after tho exposures mado of him in Congress; lo Bay that such a party, which scarce ly conceals its relations with a dozen lobbies and many of whoso public men live by jobs to say that this party, quarreling now over tho spoils, ought to live is absurd. In addition to these mortal political sins we havo the Mu hone Riddlebcrger-G orb am scheme, made up of treason, slrntogy and spoils of so gross a character that every do cent man must be amazed at the au ducky of the radical leaders who as sume to be only half honest in worldly ffitirs. A Fine Subject for a Veto. Tho Harrisburg Patriot says : One of the objections of Govornor Hoyt lo the pension bill for soldiers ot tbe war with Mexico is that tho revenues of the State will not justify the expenditure. No doubl tho rovenues of tbo Stato are running very low, though one would not think so from the profuse expend iturcs of all sorts that aro recommend ed. But since tho old soldiers of tho Mexican war must go without their bounty on account of tho condition of tho Treasury there are other ways of saving money that might be suggested Thoro is for example a bill bofore the House that will cost, if passed, about a hundred thousand dollars for militia picnics next Autumn. This bill would afford a fino subject for a voto, though the House may relievo the Govornor of that necessity. Yos, so we go I Spending (250,000 a year on the ornamental, or Sunday soldiors, entitled "Nationnl Guards," antTthon veto tho bill that gives tbo true Soldier Jiis long withheld dues may be genuine radicalism, but It lacks common honesty and is therefore a disgrace to tho Commonwealth. The Striking Business. The Phil adelphia Ledger, in alluding to strikes, says: That is a vory important as well as interesting suit brought by the wifo ol a puddlor against the officers of a trade organisation in Pittsburgh, that drove bim from a situation and pre vented him from gotting work bocause ho didn't belong to their union. Tbo wifo and children of such a man aro parties at Interest quite as much as the employors, or the union or tho man himself. This fact is vory generally forgotten or ignored. No one quos tions tho right of workmen to consult together, to lawfully combine and, if need bo, to strike for bighor wages, but whon they go any lurthcr than this and undertake to provent other pooplo trom exercising tbo samo right of do tormining what wagos they will work for, or whon or how; or whon, as in this case, they dictate tho dischargo of a man, their right to do so may bo Tory well questioned, and the host place to question it is in a court of law. AN INDIGNANT MoTIIKR. An OX- chango remarks : "James Abram," re marked tho President's mother to him yostorday, "when I rode all tho way from Mentor to Washington with you in tboso now fanglcd cars and heard the crowds cheering you at the stop ping places I was proud of you. When I heurd you tolling all about pcaco and unity and prosperity and happiness and goneral delight from tho steps of the Capitol on inauguration day I was delighted ; but now James, when I see all tho trouble that you and Blaino are kicking up, I'm disgusted, profoundly disgusted. I'm ashamed of you, so 1 am, and I'm going back to the farm." A Good Decision. The Supremo Court of the State of Maine has decid od that "a church is not a corporation with authority to crcato debt In erect ing a bouso of worship." If this inter pretation of law wore to prevail throughout the country it would rev olntionise the church building busi ness by putting it on a cash basis and cutting off so much of it aa is now managed on trust. Murat Halstcad, of the Cincinnati Gasette, says ot Col. Thomaa A. Scott : "Some of hia campaign!, if written out, showing the brilliancy of bis combina tions and the successive strokes by which nia end was reached, would show as admirable generalship as Na poleon In Italy or Grant in Mississippi, and bia personal history, faithfully ro- corded, would be faaiinating as a ro mance." OUR VICE PRESIDENT. TlioCbambersbuig Spirit)': "We tried iu every way wo could to con vince our Republican readers buloro the election last November that Gen eral Chester A. Arthur was not a fit man lo be iIiom ii Vice President of the Vnited Stale. We called their attention to the statement of John Sherman that be was not honest, und to tho afllrniation of tho lute R. B. Hayes that in an important position to which Arthur bad boen appointed be had failed to perform bis duties in accordance with his oath of ofllce. Hut our Republican friends nearly all refused to read these ; tboso who did read said our comments wcro not justi fied by tho facts and that Sherman's and Hayes' statements were exagcra ted by the Spirit. A rtbur was elected Vico Prcsidont and on the fourth of March inaugurated umid Republican bursas. But we know they would open their eyes eventually to his impor- fuctions, and bere beforo thrco months of bis term have elapsed they com mence poundiug bim whero wo left off. Last week the bitterest Republican paper in the United States doclared that he was already neglecting his du ties and bad 'defiled tho commonest considui ations ot oflicial decency.' It asserted that he hud visited Albany, New York, lo 'assist in an effort to co erce, cajolo or corrupt' enough mom bers of tho New York Legislature so that what is known as a 'stalwart Re publican' might be returned to the Na tional Senate; it insisted that his ac tions if persisted in would cause him to recotvo four years of publio con tempt and 'the business in which he is ongaged' would become 'a National scandal.' The fastidious gcntlomon who bad to hold their noses lust Fall when talking of 'old Bill English' may. possibly, still onjoy the portumo of Cheslor Arthur'i reputation. More Star Route Frauds. Tho Washington Evening Star of Juno 3d, givos a list of the men who will be pre sented to tbo Grand Jury for indict ment. Among the list is S. II. Klkins, formerly a delegato ili tho House of Representatives from New Mexico and son-in-law of a United States Senator. Klkins was intimate with Dorsey when tbe latter was in the Senate. A year or two ago he gave out that be had mado a fortune in mining speculations and he established himself in grand style in New York. Ho was a part ner of R. C. Keraris, of St. Louis, in Star route contracts. Klkins by his influence got Star contracts and bad them expedited, whilo Kerans looked after operating the lines. Ex. Congressman McKibben is another man mentioned for Indictment; also J. B. Price, ot Missouri. Ex-Auditor Mctirew and his lute duputy, Lilley, will ulso he proscnted to tho Grand Jury. Mad, of Course! In the view ol tho Now York Independent tho specta cle of Vice President Arthur "calling a conference of Conkling politicians at bis own house, on the Sabbath day, and then going up to Albany to play tho game of tho lobcyist, in aid of ex Senators Cookling and Piatt, and do ing all this to foster and promote and make successful the hostility ot these men to tho President of tho United Stulos, and virtually to tbo party that elected him, is one so undignified, so degrading to the ofllce, and so disgust ing in its manifest improprieties as justly to dosorve public contompt. His conduct is a gross scandal. Tho peo pie aro ashamed of their Vico Presi dent, and well they may be. He has no right thus to dishonor tbo office thoy have bestowed upon him. He ought to havo, at least, somo respect for tho proprieties of oflicial deconcy." Formidarle in Numbers. The Now York Methodist gives the following figures showing the number of that denomination: "Methodist Episcopal church, 1,743,000; Methodist Episco pal church South, 828,. 100; African Methodist Episcopal church 215,000; African Methodist Episcopal Zion church, 191,000 ; Unitod Brothron In Christ, 157,800; Methodist Protestant church, 113,-100; Colored Mothodist Episcopal church, 112,800; Evangeli cal Association, 112,200; Amorican Wcsloyan connection, 25,000 ; Freo Methodist church, 12,000; Congrega tional Mutbodist church, 10,000; Prim- itive Methodist church, 3,000; African Union Mothodist Protestant church, 2,500; Union Amcricun Methodist Episcopal church, 2,000; Independ ent Methodist churches, 2,500; total 3,521,000." Boys, Move Slow I Somo would-bo astute Republican politicians are nam ing the "1881 candidato." Tho answer that tho minister gave tho enraged parent can fimlaplaconow. An elder son seriously offended the falhor and in his wrath tho paront exclaimed, "I wish tho devil had the boy I" The family pastor, wbo knew the youth's habits, stood by and, with the air of ono uniting a prediction with advice, said, "Just wait." If the circumstances are not similar, tho advice, at least, is apphcablo, Wait. Political lightning defaces as often as it strikes. Some very heavy storms will come and go bolwoon Juno, 1881, and Juno, Is? I. Overboard. We notice that Mr. McGrow, the Sixth Auditor of the Treasury, and his Deputy, Mr, Lilley, have stepped down and out, on a polito invitation from Bocrotary Windom. Tho Sixth Auditor is tho officer who adjusts tho accounts of tho Postoffico Department. Socretary Windom re quested the resignation of McGrow and Lilley at the instanco ot the Attorney Goneral who rogarded them ai obsta cles to tho investigation of the Star routo frauds. It is thought that when tbe books of the Sixth Auditor's ofllce shall be overhauled Important dcvol opmcnts will be made in tho Star routo matter. An exchango remarks: "The ever lasting occlosiaslical case of Stack vs. O'llara is at the Supreme Court again from Lycoming county ; and It would not bo on a Williamsport list if tho Ilerdrca and Lycoming Firo Insurance Company wcro not on it as litigants."

De aaya that Blaine would steal If he got a chance. COUGHED UP A BULLET. General William J. Hollon, of Nor ristown, on Friday a week coughed up a bullet which hu hud carried in his body for seventeen years. It was re ceived on the HOlh of July, lKfit, the duy ot tho famous mine explosion at Petersburg, lie war then Colonel ol' the Kilty-first Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteers, which hud been detailed as a forlorn hope lo lead an assault upon a fort to the left of tbe cutter. From that time until Friday, May 20th, ho carried the bullet in his neck, where it caused him considerable pain, especially in dump wtalhnr, aud oblig ed hi in always to sleep on the left side. About two weeks ago the pain became worso und be could feel some sharp ob ject cutting its way through the tis sues towarj the throat. Uno evening ho was compelled to closo bis store be lore tho usual hour and go to bed, whore tho foreign substanco felt, lo use bis own expression, "liko a filly pound weight." Ktill it did not occur to him that the bullet was working out. His idea was that some frag monts ot bin shattered jttw bone had detached themselves, and the thought that they wcro cutting Into his throat alarmed him. Mrs. Bolton also be camo uneasy, and yielding to her per suasions bo determined to consult a skillful surgeon on Friday. About the middle ol the afternoon, whilo waiting on a customer, he bad occasion to stoop and was seized with a fit of coughing which nearly stran gled him. Instinctively be placed his band over bis mouth, and to his great astonishment the next cough drove out the bullet and it fell into tbe palm. It was Bomowhat stained with blood and was covered with mucous, but its dislodgement was not followed by any bleeding and caused him immediate relief. When the bullet wits washed off it was found to be somewhat oor roded with rust, which bad covered its surface with sharp ridges, sufficient to account for the pain it produced as it worked its way through his flesh. In spite of the loss by rust it still weighs 273 grains. Tho General intends writ ing to his Iriond, Dr. Sherlock, that the prediction of seventeen years ago has been fulfilled. GOVKRNMKNTA L INQUISI TION. TheCbambershurg Spirit romurks: Tho nan who sent a postal curd by enclosing it in an envelope was wiser than h know. A harmless fellow in Loudon county, Va., on a postal card addresstd to a Senator, spoke of Ma bono as "a d d dog" and the observ ant officials in Washington, to which point tho card was addressed, read and retained '.he card and caused tbe ar rest of Civrmichacl, the sender, on the ground that the law declares that "no postal card upon which indecent or scurrilous epithets may be printed or writtei shall be carried through tho mail." Yet the law positively prohib it! any postmaetor or clerk Irom read ing postal cards, the punishment of the sontlor, lor tho ollonse indicated above, being left for the recipient to demand. A greater violation ol tho law than that of Carmichael's (il, in deed, his can be shown to be a viola tion at all) was made by the poslofllce officials, for this card never reached the person to whom it was addressed. Tho precedent sought lo be established is seriously objectionable bocause it is extraordinarily dangeruus. If post office clerks are to bo made oensors to determine what is "scurrilous" they can widen their latitude of decision until it has no boundary. If they are to road postal cards to ascertain what are and what aro not mailable so may they hold thin envelopos to the win dow and read letters of business and missives of love ; where envelopes aro thick tho aid of tbe summing tea not may bo secured lo moiston the seal of a letter that tho clerk can havo his suspicions about and its contents may bo perused to ascertain thut nothing "obscene" appears therein. If the privacy of tho mails must bo destroyed to gratify tho spile of Muhone it is time the Republican party olevato thut gentleman to soma higher position than ho now has; tbe Primacy vaca ted by Mr. Conklin might suit Lim. The Pool Law. Tho Legislature lost week passed a severe Act prohibit ing pool playing at saloons and hotels. Tho law is short and as follows : Section 1. That if tho proprietor, kcoper, lesseo or manager of any saloon, hotel, tavern, inn, billiard room or othei Iilaco of resort or entertainment shall icep, maintain or permit to be played upon his promises, or in connection therewith, or having passago or com munication to or with tho same, the gamo or amusement of pool with balls or any other game of chunco, tho ro suit or prico of forfeiture of payment in any form ol such gamo or amuse ment shall bo by drinks of vinous, spirituous, malt or brewed liquors or any admixture thereof, ho or sUo shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be sentenced for tho first offense to pay a fine of ono bundrod dollars and to undergo an im prisonment of not less than ninety days, and for tho second offense to pay a fine of five hundred dollars and to undergo an imprisonment of not less than one year; and any license granted for tho keeping of audi saloon, tavern, inn, billiard room or othei place of resort or amusement shall, upon such second conviction, be declared null aud void by tbe court in which tiie said second offense shall be tried. Approved Juno 1st, A. D. 1881. Henry M. Hoyt. uamkron s annex. lue junior Senator from Pennsylvania, has writ ten a letter to a friond in Williamsport, defining his position in the Garfield Conkling fight.

Tho Now York H'or(f says : It is just a lilllo curious that in this supremo agony of tho great and grand old Republican party we do not hear one word about the peril to tho Union of a solid South, not ono word about tho finance and tho tariff, not ono word about civil service reform, not ono word, in fact, nbout any subject except tho Now York Custom House and the machine. Education. Don. Camoron ought to write a book on "the most approv ed manner of causing a legislative dead lock. A work of thil sort would be an invaluable hand-book to Republi cans in publio life, IT IS MR. PRESIDENT. THE I'ROI'EK WAY IN WHICH TO ADDRESS t.UR Cllir.r UAtllSTflATE. It has been noted that President Grevy of France, in his letter to Pres ident Gut field, addresses bun as " Votir I'.xeelleiiey, and Si) do a gn at ninny Americans. But this is incorrect, as the ('resilient ol the United Sutcs lias no title. Not only is tho Constitution silent on tho subject, but the question was raised, discussed and settled, so thai there is a derision on the subjoct. In ns'J, on the 2.)d ot April, the Senate adopted a resolution for the appointment ot a committco "lo con sider and report what stylo of title il would do proper to annex to tho offices of President and Vice-President of tho United States, il any other than thoso given in the Constitution. On the day following tho House of Kcpie- scntutives adopted a similar resolution, nnd on the bin nt Muy this committeo reported ihut "it is not proper to annex ny stylei or titles ot cilices exprosscd by the Constitution." And this report was adopted by tho House. Un ine Hlh or May tbo Seuttto com mitteo mado a similar report The proposition waa (lien made, "whother the Prcsidont of tlio United States shall bo addressed as 'His Excellency ,"' nnd it was decided in tho negative. A Her ward tlio toilowini; action was had in tho Senate: "Ordered, thut Mr. Leo, Mr. Ellsworth and Mr. John son be a commilleo to confer with any committeo to bo appointed by the lloutc of Representatives, on tbe dif ference of opinion now subsisting be tween the two Houses respecting tbe title ol the 1 resident ot tho L nitod Sluice." The House then appointed a coniniittuo ol fivo, of which Mr. Madi son was Chairman, lo confer with tho Sennlo committoe, and after a confer ence tbo Senate committeo reported that they could not agree upon a joint report, but that iu the opinion ot the Senate committee: "It would be proper to address tlio President as 'His Highness, the President of tbo United States of America and Protector of our Liberties."' This Report was not adopted, though it was not rejected, being laid over. .As au end to the mailer, the following was finally adopted by the Senate : ' From a docent respect for the opin ion and practice of civilized Nations whether undor monarchial or Republi can forma of government, whoso cus tom it is to annex titles of respectabil ity to the offlco of thoir Chief Magis trate, and that, on intercourse with foreign Nations, a duo rcspoct for the majesty of the pooplo of tbo Unitod State! may not bo hazarded by an ap pearance of singularity, the Senate have been induced to bo of the opinion thut it would be proper to annex a re spectable title to the office of Presi dent of tho Unitod Statos ; but tho Sonate, desirous of preserving harmo ny with tho llouso ol Representatives, where the practico lutely observed in presenting an address to tbo President was without tho addition of titles, think it proper for tho presont to act in conformity with tho practice of tho llouso ; thorclore, rosolved, that tho present address bo, 'To the Presidont of the United Statos,' without addition of title." And so the matter stands to-day, and tho American people can congrat ulate thomselvos thut they escaped tbe infliction which tho Sod it to committee wanted to entail upon an unoffending posterity. It is very common in writ ing to tho President to address him not only as "His excellency," but to give hii lull namo. This is not tho business style, at least. If in writing to tbo President on public business, you will simply say "Sir" at tbe top and "Tho Prcsidont" at the bottom you will bo according to oflicial eti quette. Kansas City Times. Uull dozinu A Judoe Tho Detroit Free Press givos the following : "A Col orado Judge roccntly sentenced three murderors to be bung. It was a great surprise to them. Indeed, tho Judge himself hardly expected to do it a few minutes beforo, but made up his mind very suddenly. Ho had just cleared a desperado who had committed a murder, when a crowd hanged the fellow out of the Court House window und told tho Judgo the next time he let a murderer escape they would serve bim tho samo way. So tho olhor thrco poor fellows foil victims to tho Judge's prolorring to see them hung rather than undergo that experience himsell." A Bio Success.
