In any of those j ears, had this visit been paid, it would have signified but little personally. Now you come with greeting to one wholly unconnected with public or official trans actions. You come with n warm welcome to n private citizen having no claim on your regard except bis warm and abiding attachment to your interests and your homes. Under these circumstances yon will let mo believe, without doubt, that your presence here means the personal kludnesB of valued neighbors and valued friends. Old party issues have largely passed away, or at least as dividing party lines. We are in a period of peace and great prosperity, but let 'is never forget that prosperity often tests and tries tbe wisdom of nations and men moro even tljau adversity, The tendency is to spend largely. The teudeucy iu the Govern ment is to make proluse, perhaps lavish appropriations of tbe publio money. In the affairs of Government and in tbe af fairs of business, unless I greatly mistake the lesson, the need and thn admonition of tbe hour is frugality, foresight aud care. We have more need of tbe brake than of steam in a good many ways just VEEY UNHAPPY. The Stalwart Republican State Com mittee met in Philadelphia, Weduesday morning, and an executive committee ol ten was appointed. A letter from tbe caudidateB was read, in which they au thorize tbe committee to submit their candidacies to such popular tests as will clearly indicate tbe popular will "aud secure tbe co-operation of all who really desire Itepublican harmony and success, whether by primary elections, a new Convention, or otherwise, pledging our hearty co-operation in carrying out to practical results any plan which may be adopted in its wisdom, and to the un qualified support of any candidates which may be chosen to represent the Republi can party. Four propesitions were then submitted The two tickets to be sub mitted at primaries; selections of candi dates by popular vote; Sinto Convention to be held, to be constituted as recom mended by the Continental Hotel Con ference, and n State Convention to be held uudcr the new rules adopted by the late Republican State Convention. Bes olntious were then adopted pledging the committee to oarry out in good faith any oue of the foregoing propositions that may be accepted. The committee then adjourned to meet at the call of the chair. During tbe alternoon the propositions were placed before the Independent can didates. At 1 o'clock Thursday morning, alter adjournment of the conference, the candidates declined to give any infor mation as to the result of their delibera tions. From, all of which we are led to to tbe conclusion that the Republican leaders are very unhappy I JOBBERY IN C0N0BESS, Says a Washington letter writer: If Congress adjourns by tbe middle of Au gust It will be as early as present appear- unces iudicate. It is chiefly tbe tariff and tax questions in the Senate that will pro- tract tbe bession. Pennsj lvania iron and steel men are swarming to the capital to see what the reduction of duties means. Of course they enll on Don Cameron, first taking iu Mr. Kelley on IBu way. "Then you want my help, do you?" says Don. "I thought yon proposed to join the Wolfe gang to turn me out. Some chick ens come homo to rooat sooner than oth era. Do you want me to save you? What do you propose to do' for me? Why uot get Whartnu Barker to save ou? Better ro to the Reformers for bklp. Why come to me,if you wish to see me thrown over board?" This is not Don's exact language, but it is what is in bis heart, and it is the in terpietation or his manner. The delay in the Senate will afford op portunity for pntiing thrnuyb tbe House certain bills which bad been virtually oiaiuuii uimer-M-nu itu-,vur lndei end- given up for tbe present Bession. Con eul Bajue,; of course the language of ' solcuous among them are a number of iiutterorin was uotBochaate as it might publio building bills. The original plan tel steps are abandoned to strangers for the next two months. The resent discussion on political as sessments in both bouses of Congress has oxoited general attention and, taken in connection with the uubbell-Curtis controversy over the assessment circulars will have.a depressing elTeot on tbe fi nancial scheme of the Congressional com mittee. Political assessments, or assess ment of Federal office-holders for politi cal purposes, will probably never become a national issue from tbe fact that it has been the custom of both political parties to levy tribute of this nature. But this fact cannot disguise the evil effects of the system. It is the essential idea of the spoils system that the offices should be made to support the party. There aro clerks here to-day who are still pay ing ten per cent, a month on what they borrowed to pay their campaign asses, ment I mean voluntary contribution and these now look with dismay on the prospect of the renewed levies. I have seen clerks pay over the "volnitary con tribution" with tears in their eyes, know ing that It deprived their children of clolhoj for Bcbool or that it compelled them to violate their honor. Tne one publio measure of Importance which has passed the House of Represen tatives displays the Incapacity of tbe present Congress even more distinctly than what it has leftundoue. The revis iuu of the tariff having been put off, the House undertook to revise the internal revenue laws iu order to relieve the coun try from needless taxation. After mud dling over tbe subject for half a year what is the result ? Tbe removal of a few petty stamp taxes on patent medicines, rrlumery and the like, to whicn nobody objects and which costs nothing t col lect and the reduction of the tax on cig arettes, which ought to be taxed out of existence. That is the sum of reform. The whole costly machinery of the in ternal revenue service remains. The House of Representatives was yes terday again the scene of an encounter of words, in which Messrs. Bobeson, of New Jersey, and Wbitthorne, of Ten nessee, were the principals, and In which tbe amenities of debate were grossly vio lated. Mr. Robeson, in closing tbe de bate on the naval appropriation bill not content with i geuenl defense of bis ad ministration of tbe Navy Department, without mentioning any names, referred in bitterest terms to Mr. Wbitthorne, whom he accused of purloining tbe pub lic school lunds of his State, and with bringing his brother from his Tennessee home to take a contract under an admin istration to which be was politically in imical. Goaded by the Beverity of Mr. Robeson's language, Mr. Wbitthorne seems to have lost his temper, for he quickly pronouueed Mr. Robeson's charge "a lie, whoever tells or whoever repeats it." and concluded by "branding on tbo forehead oPMr.llobeson the words falsehood and perjury." At this point the matter was dropped, tbe participants having exhausted their abuse. My letter giving the items of expenses of tbe Congressional spree to Yorktown has made some of the Congressmen rath er sensitive. There is a probability how ever, that we shall finally know abont tbe disgraceful matter attending Gar field a funeral. Tbe more these, things are exposed tbe better will be the cbance of preventing any more such exhibitions. Uoon the reassembling of the Criminal Court this morning to continne the star- route trials, Judge Wylie remarked that he saw the cose bad been goiug on in tbe newspapers since tbe adjournment of tbe court, "I don't know what progress the newspapers have made," be contin ued' may be they have fonnd a verdict.' Mr. Merrick to-day authorized a denial of the rumor of a disagreement among tbe counsel for tbe government in the Btar-route cases, growing out of the al leged suppression by Mr. Bliss of certain newiy-discovered evidence of the most important character. At a conference of government connsel tbis morning it was agreed that tbe grand jnry should be im mediately reconvened and another set of indictments Iramed. Dr. Lamb's official report of tbe autop- xy made upon tbe body of Guiteau im mediately after bis execution is published to-day. It is tbe opinion of tbe learned editor of the medical journal, to which the report was first transmitted for pub lication, tbat;it presents nothing to indi- mai tue assassiu was of unsound have been, but then it.is tbe toottmebe campaign aud due allowance should be made. It is so absurd to think Gaificld's policy is not being carried out removals are made lor cause only; that is because a Sialwart warns tbe place, and appoint ments are made only upon prooi ol Stal wart ability. Surely some people are never satistied.yet the Pi t sideut is serene, goes a fishing as xtgulurly and cherishes the 300 medal. Is it true that Dou Cameron Is putting into execution bis threat regarding the tariff iu retaliation lor tbe lavor shown the Independents by tbe Iron Barons? Tbe decision of tbe Seuate Republicans to reduce tbe tariff on Bessemer rails favors tbe suggestion. The Ptnusyl vauia barons are up iu arms, and Dou is acting as though he would say, Don't make fools of yourselves next time. ThU kickiug againBt me is costly. I'll teach youl Ii is a singular coiucideuo- that tbe Senate Republican caucus should have dune tbe very thing which Cameron warned tbe barons might happen as the penalty of their contumacy. When tbe barous get iuto Hue again, perhaps the Dou will let up on their Beaseuitr rails. Aye, perhaps I Fobfeab the indictments already found might not suffice; another batch are be ing prepared aud then the whole toweu of the Government will be used to con Vict the Star Route gang outside of Dor sey and Brady, we mean, Tbe Adminis tration is aroused, not, of course, on so conut of tbe situation in New York or Pennsylvania, but tbe carrylug out of the roLicr. It is determined that tbe tax on matches and bank checks shall be removed, Gat field's funeral expenses paid if it taken all in tbe Treasury also, that that small bill of expenses at York town shall be uo.ron-dated, ' that our Navy shall have at least oue vessel suit able for Pre ideutial excursions, that Lowell can remain, that tbe 30G shall hold office, that Logan, Conkliug, Cam. eron aud Mahone control their respective state patronage jo a word, that the Stal warts are in power, and that it is a Sul wrt Admlnlstntlpn with uo prwvuo. or conspiracy contemplated about twen ty more appropriations than have passed tbe House, or a sum for publio buildings alone not much short of twenty-five mil- linn of dollar'. Tbe expenditure tbns initiated will, it is believed, 111 not much short of thirty millions of dollars; fr.r.as rule, public buildings cost neatly double tbe original estimate, sometimes three times the first appropriation, Even tbe blindest man in the land sees now that a Publio Building Biug exists, and that to this combination and its ef forts are due tbe enormous appropria tions already made, and yet to be eon, siderably increased. The longer Congress holds on the great er will be tbo aggregate of the appropria tions, which is already startling. It 1 soma time ago mat some of tbe wiser heads among the Republicans felt in clined to call a bait nu the money bills but there was no use. The Treasury was overflowing, tbe blood was up, there might not be auother cbance, and so pnt it through was tbe word. Tbe movement baa acquired fresh momentum with every fresh succesa.till it would not be difficult to pnt through almost anything if the I aders gave tbe word. Even among these, alarm begins to be felt lat tbe protract- ing of tbe Bession may lead to wildnesa in tbis respect beyond what they ever dreamed of.aud prove fatal to their party, Our Washington Letter.

Th re is no sympathy here with any of the lot The old controversy over Garfield's doc tors baa bad an airing In the Senate this week. In tbe debate en an amendment to tbe deficiency bill reducing the sum to be paid these physicians, Senator Vest said that tbe doctors bad treated their patient for a pus cavity, while tbe wound which hurried him to bis death bad en tirely escaped their notice. 8urgeous who could make such a mistake as this were quacks. He strongly Intimated that the Pnsldent bad been killed by mal practice. He further said that Dr. Bliss entered tbe case as a volunteer, crowded others out. and took control against tbe wishes of tbe dying President and bis family. Mr. Garland Bald that, in bis judgment, tba children of the late Presi dent could pursue these surgeons and bring an action for damages (.gainst them on account of the bnngling manner in which tbey bad treated the case, Mr. Sherman thought tbe amount allowed for physicians' fees in the bill wss entirely too large, aud be was willing to vote for an amendment reducing It, Tbe amend ment was adopted, fixing tbe total at $35,600, which is about half of the amonnt originally voted by tbe House, Before tbis Dr. Bliss alono expected to get $25,000, and bad made bis arrange ments for an extensive European tour. This difficulty about tbe doctors appears to be only equaled by tbe disagreement over tbe Guiteau autopsy. Speaking of Garfield; at tbe laying of tbe corner stone of tbe Memorial Church last Sunday, quite a number of promt. nent men who would naturally be expect ed to be prestnt were conspicuous by their absence, and tbe fact was generally noticed and commented npon. Neither the President nor any member of the Cabinet- was present, and not an Ohio member of Congress. Senator Sherman and Senator Pendleton both live within five minutes' walk, but neither of them took the trouble to come. Speaker Kti fer drove by when tbe ceremonies were abont half over, and gave only a passing glance.

A very few dsjs will suffice to bring bgislation to an end for tbe preseut. Sevrrsl meas ures which have passed the House will linger iu tbe Senate and go over to next winter. Tbe bankruptey bill is already postponed. Tbe new two per cent, bond bill is likely to be, and even tbe Kelley revenue bill is not sure of passage. The Naval appropriation bill which some of tbe Democrats fought so bitterly in tb Housa is likely to go through the Senate in about the stupe that Mr. Bobeson de sires. It transpires bevond doubt that the burial of Guiteau's body in the cellar of the jail was only temporary, and I learn lrom sources which appear creditable that the skeleton is finally to go to a mu seum in New York, while somebody is to get tba beuefit of tbe large sum to be paid for it. whether John Guiteau has any band in it I am unable to state, but it looks a good deal tbat way. By the as sassiu's will Parson Hicks is made tbe custodian of the body, "to be used for no mercenary purpose whatever," but in some mysterious way bis scruples have beeu overcome if my information is cor rect. It is positively asserted that tbe body has already been removed from tb grave and taken to the Medical Museum here, where the flesh is to be disposed of and tbe skeleton then seut away.

No solution yet of the'tuurder of Mr, Gnttermutb, on Seventh Avenue a month ago, and now another murder is commit ted at the corner of Sixth Avenue and Fourteenth street, one of tbe busiest and most respectable localities, and although four or five people were within sight apd' hearing of the aflair, tbo crime is not' fastened upon-auybody as yet. -The vie tim was a private detective, engaged to preserve order at a concert hall of tbe better class. Evidence goes to show that he bad Bomo trouble with a party of fast meu and women, who were not ready to leave when it was time to close tbe place at night ; all bauds, iucludiug the officer, had been drinking; tbe quarrel begtm.it side tbe ball, was resumed on the side walk, and the watchmau recived a blow on tbe head, from which he died tbe next day. Tbis is another illustration of the facility wbioh a great city affords for con cealment and escape of those who may strike a murderous blow. But, on tbe other hand, we have an 11 lustration of tbe difficulty of eluding pur suit, in tbe arrest, a day or two ago. iu Havana, of a man who stole over $300, 000 in Belgium, more than a year ago aud baa since been followed and bunted by a Npw York detective, from tbis city through Canada, Georgia.

One of the railroad companiesbas given iu to tba strikers and its freight is being baudled in a basin. sa like and rapid manner. Tbe great trunk Hues, however, still try to get on with green and feeble bands, and the blockade continues. Tbe question of tbe responsibility of the trans portation companies is to be tested in tbe courts not their right to decide sb to what wages tbey shall pay, but their right to refuse to receive and forward freight, when they might do it by means within tbeir reach. If they can supply tbo places of tbe strikers with new bauds at a less price, and carry forward, with reasonable promptness, tba freight that is offered, tbey have aperlect rigbt to do so; but if tbey fail to do it, and goods are damaged by reason of tba refusal of tbe companies to employ ordinarily skill ed labor for the purpose.tben, it is claim ed, tbey must pay tbe cost to tbe ship pers. The carters have also gone to tourt against tbe roads aud a test case is being brought ky a truckman, wbo presented himself at tbe freight bouse with a load of goads bound to St. Louis. He was told tbat the freight would be recived and to wait until tba company's employes could take it in. ne waited from 8 a. m. of June 20. until 11.30 a. m. of Jnue 22d, and he brings snit for daiuagis cans- ed by tie detention. If be wlnsbis suit, hundreds of others will be brought on a similar state of facts. metropolitan orowtb. A few years ago. the eight and ten stor ied houses in old Edinburgh, were look ed upon as a curiosity and we wondered tbat brick and m irtar should ever he piled so bigb for dwelling places, or that anybody would risk living so near Heav. en. Now New York can discount the Scottish Capital, and in a few years, tbe lower part of the city will be a mass of towering structures such as no other city can show. Ten story buildings are going np, to be filled with offices, and every room is rented, before tbe walls are com pleted. It is a serions question as to pro tection from possible fires in these di flees onebuudr -d feet and more In beigbt, and the only way to solve it is by tbe use of absolutely fire-proof materials and none other. Under no other conditions should suth lofty buildings be permitted , Ths progress of BcUnoe keeps pace with the developments of our needs, and Am erican Inventors will test and experiment until tbe burning to tbe ground of a large modern building will be an impossibllly. In every part of tbe city, building has been-going ou with wonderfnl rapidity, during the first balf of 1882. In tbat six months, tbe Building Bureau approved of plans for 13C5 new buildings, and for alterations of old ones to cost, together, moro than twenty-eight million dollars. Tbis activity is noticed in all parts of the city, from the Battery to Harlem River, many of the edifices in tbe tipper portion being large, costly and elegant apartment bouses, whoso occupants must pay rent of from $1500 to $1000 for a suite of eight to twelve rooms. ODD "ADDS." All tbe entertainment in a newspaper is not to be found in tbe smusemeni col umns, nor yet in that fourth coluroi n on the Times editorial page where Alden's grotesque articles are to bo looked for. Tbe ordinary advertisements (or rather tbe extraordinary ones found among the ordinary ono) are often more curious than tbe reading matter. At 40 cents a lit tbe frugal advertiser counts tbe space and bolls down his meauing iuto the fewest practical words. If your name hap pel to be Gordon, you needn't get mad to find, under "Help Wanted" this call: "Wanted Boy to kick Gordon and make hlmaell uselul " It isouly a printer who wants a boy to work a Gordon press aud be ready for anything else. Tbe spinster need not Btop her paper because it con taius tbe shameless announcement of "Hands wanted to work on bosoms;" lor it means Bew ing girls in a shirt factory. Small boys generally mauage to fill tbeir pockets unto bursting.but here is a man who advertises for a "Bey in salt store to fill small pockets;" the "pocket" being tbe small bags for table salt. Another advertisement is for "A young girl im prover," but what be wants I am not milliuer enough to find out. Perhaps be was the father of the IB- ear-old girl, who was arrested the other day for wearing boys' clothing aud running away from borne to consort with newsboys and boot blacks. There is an ample field in New Yolk for young girl improvers. It isn't a restaurant keepei, nor the proprietor ot a country hotel wbo says "A Peerless feeder wanted," but another printer who wants a boy to tend aud feed a Peerless press. Otherwise, I kuow several men out of employment, who would fill the bill with peerless aud insatiable appe tites. To oue wbo bos watched the way the modern girls wind their toils about the eligible young men and lead them ou to marriage, it seems hardly necessary to advertise for "Girl wanted for winding and doubling' but investigation shows that tbey are wanted by a manufacturer of braid. It la not an anatomist, but an artificial flower-maker, who advertises for "Small girls to branch, and bo) to wire,' nor is it tbo manager of a priza fight ex hibition who calls for an experienced tnau to tu,ke, charge, of a throwing mill, but the pwner of a silk factory in New Jersey, Wjo bave all beard of galvanio gar ments, electrical belts, magnetic clothing NEW GOODS! ffl BARGAINS and) divers other, melallio appliances, whi re with tbe human body may be cloth ed,, buLwben a - firm in Pittsburg adver tises, ."Wanted some good wire drawers," it mther.stnggers us.
