Edmnnth may be likely to enter the Presidential campaign as the nominee of the Republicans, makes tbs politicians sbake in tbeir sboes. Wheth er yon know It or not, we may state tbnt bo is tbe last man in tbe party tbat tbe ofHce-boUlers vrant In see in tbe While Ilonse. Mr. Edtunnds H a man who, ii hs knows alt tbe tricks in trade of poll ticiau, will not adapt biimelf to them, and will not be connted in as a partici pant In any of tbewajs tbat are dark, which are to be ejtpected of tbe average politician. Hut. likelllaiuennd Lincoln uih! Xilden and the rest of (hem, Ed monds is not ft candidate! Of course cot. UInluo is no candidate, but be has got magnetism, and mugnetism is mu lling bis campaign on its own book. Lincoln is not n candidate, but tbe very children are crying for bltn becauso bis name is Lincoln, and therefore be un consciously fulls into the bauds of bis friends. Logan is not a candidate in the ordinary acceptation of tbe word.bnt mruebody has been mighty lively of late in working up n regular compound double-bfick-acliou stub and twist boom, with 1'ilz John Porter atone end, nnd O. A. It., t the other. Nor is Mr. Til ridn a candidate; if he were, you would not bear of these politicians TiHiling Grumercy Park in Fquails, companies and battalions. And what in the world would Mr. Itandall and Mr. Hendricks and Mr Morrison und Mr. Cox ami the other proujineut hhepberds in the Demo cratlc fold be calling upon tbe Sage for if it were not to get hU disinterested ad- yice and receive his Democratic bene' dictions? The only thiugabsolntely posl live about Mr. Edmunds' candidacy is bit own declaration one diy tbat he wns not a candidate, and theuextgniug upon a still limit for n' nomination. Such is politic.-,! THE MORRISON BILL KILLED. The gallerioi of the House of Repre sentatives were crowded Tuesday by men find women who desired to hear the fluol debate on the Morrison Tariff bill, nnd to witness the result of the effort which it was known would be made to kill the bill on the spot. Alter two or three brief speeches had been raade.the House being in Committee of tbe Whole Mr Ktndall arose and with great clearness and force presented bis objections to the bill. Hu made an eloquent and a convincing speech. Mr. Blackburn de fended tbe bill and oppohed Mr. Rau- ddlu proposition that tiie internal tee- n le taxes should be repealed. Mr. Kas boj closed the debate ia oppositl u to the bill, aud Mr. Morrison briifl re. plied to the various objections that Lnd b eu urgued ogaiust it. This was the Ust of the speeches. As the Clerk began to read tbe bill Mr. Converse moved that the enacting clanso be stricken out. Much exciteiiieut followed, and hisses aud groans from the Democrutio side were met by rounds of applause from tbo Republican side. The people in the galleries joined in the uoUemaking. Messrs. Converse and Morrison were appointed iellers.and the vote wns taken on Mr. Converse's motion, It was cirri ed 156 yeas against 151 nays. The an nouncement of the result was received with loud cheers and the waving of nuukercbiefs nud hats. Tbe committee then nroe. and its action was reported to tbe House, whereupon it was confirm, ed by a vote of 109 yeas against 155 nays. Au analysis of tbe vote shows that three Republicans, all from Miunesota, voted agiinst the killing of tbe bill, and tbat lor'y-lwo Democrats voted in favor of killlug it. Col. Cunts. Macilk, who holds Sena tor Cameron's proxy as member of the National Committee Irom Pennsylvania, is authority tor the statemeut that the Sinator will reach home from Europe about May 13. There is some signifi cance lu this, us there also Is in the fact that Col. Magee prelers John Shcrmau to any other probable or possible can didate, and is earnest lu bis support of the Ohio st.iteKinau. We may now disc-lose a fact which has ntver been known to the public. At Chicago four years ago. Col, Mugee plradud euntstly, but ineffectually with Saunter Cameron to carry the Pennsylvania vote over to J. bn Bbermau after the lilteentb ballot bad beeu oust. Magea gave as bis reason that tbe nomination of either Grant or BUiuewas impovdble, nnd if the Grant men delayed going to Sherman, the Illaine men and the Sherman men would unite on Garfield. Cameron's nigh sense of honor prevented him from com plying with Mhgeo's suggestion, and bia near rtlatiouship, by marriage, with Mr. Sherman made it impossible for him un der any circumstances to kticilfice Grant lor Sherman, eiu-er as leader or follow er.

SWAIM AND LINCOLN, There his been nothing more ridlcn- lous telegraphed from bere for some time than tbe story which attempted to show that Judge Advocate-General Swaim is being made the martyr of Sec retary Lincolu's dislike, a dislike grow out of tbo alleged jealousy of Lincoln of Swain's onco great influence with Gar field. It is true that Lincoln had to protest at tbe high handed way Swaim sought to influence army matters through bis fi uancial bold npon Garfield, and it is also undoubtedly trne tbat both Lincolu and Blaine would have gone out of the Cabinet if Garfield had not given up Swaim as a personal adviser; but tbat Mr. Liucolu could have had any jeatousv of such a man us Swaim would not be tx-lteved by any one who knows both men. Lincoln's impassibility. Tbe coolest, most self-contained roan in all tbnexcitemeut over tbe Presideucy is the Secretary of War, who is coinu on minding his own business and attending io me amies oi nis ouice, Air. lilucoln does not show the slightest sign of ex ultation over tbe demonstrations of bis popularity, and although be has been endorsed for Vice President by all the conventions tbat have expressed a choice lie continues to regard the matter with indifference. Those who are on intimate terms with him say be does not want t) be Vice President, aud some of them have advised iilin to forbid the use ol bis name, lor fear a nomination for tbe second place on tbe ticket may provent his being a caudidate for tbe Presideucy louryear8 hence; but nolbiug he could say or do would prevent the Republican Convention from naming him for Y.ce President, and if Arthur Is not renomin ated he is considered by the wisest Judges to be the most available dark horse in the stable. Southern Republicans say that negroes would wade through blood to vote lor a son of "Old Abe," and tbat with bis name on the ticket notbinc but tbe grossest frauds could prevent the Re publicans carrying throe or four of the Southern States. looaw out or the bace. General Logan is now oouuted entirelv out of tbe race, nnd tbe disposition ot his strength is a matter of cousiderablu discission. Ho will not be able to con trol tbe delegation, and alter they have given him a complimentary vote, it is believed by the best posted Illinois men., that Arthur w.ll get cighteou and Blaine twenty. There are six of the Illinois delegates who will support Arthur from tho start. The Wisconsin deleoation is instructed for General Lucius Paircbild. a callabt one-armed soldier, who was formerly uovernor nuu more recently Minister lo Spain. After doing their dutv to tbe favorite son, Wisconsin people here eav the delegation will divide about evenlj between Blaine aud Arthur. The Connecticut delegation will brino General Haw ley's urine before the Con. veutiou it they see there is any chance for his nomination, but between Arthur aud Blaine they will vote unanimously for Arthur. Blulue will get no votes from New England except his own State nud one or two from New Hampshire. OEM. JOE UAn LET L00K1NO FOB, A B30M. Gen. Haley is a Presidential candi date in earnest. He is superintending Ids own boom. Short aud pithy bio graphical sketches of the distinguished Couuecticnter, boru in North Carolina, begin to appear in the country news, papers. Tbe General is proceeding on tbe assumption that the fittest survive, and that, uuder tbe present situation, it means him. Stress is laid on bis birth in tbe South, as though it gives him tbe advantage over all rivals. Joe is every body's friend. When Blaine has wanted him be has only bad to say so. But Joe considers himself Bliine's equal uow. He is seriously setting np tbe claim of heirship to Blaiue'B votes. Joe has de cided to have Secretary Lincoln ruu for Vice President on bis ticket, Tbe Haw. ley boom will fairly begiu to boom with in tbe next thirty days. don cameuon's intentions. Senator Cameron was beard from bere yesterday and he announced his purpose to return about the first of June. His health Is much improved and be axpecU to resume his seat In the Senate bfeore adjournment. It is probable that be will not reach home before the Republi can National Convention, bat if not bere by that time be will come very soon af ter tbe Presidential ticket shall have been nominated. His I r lends in Pennsylvania are well advised as to his wishes in the Chicago contest and be and they are quite confident that they will support the winning man. BOUNTY LANDS TO BOLDIEM, A sub-committee of tbe House Com mittee on Publlo Lrnds has decided to lavorabiy report to the full committee Representative Townsend's bill grant ing bonnty lands to soldiers of the late war.

T11E STATUE OT CHIRP JUSTICE MARSHALL. The statue of Chief Justice Marsbull will be nnvailed on May 10th, in tbe presence of the President nud Cabinet, the two Houses of Congress, the Supreme Court of tbe United States and other officials of tho Government, nnd a large number of Invited guests. Mr. William Rale, of Ibe Philadelphia Bar Associa tion, will deliver the address unon tho occasion. The statne is now being erected nt the foot of tbe steps leading to tbe main western entrance to tbo rotunda of tbe Capitol, and will be completed tnis weed, xne pedestal is oi Italian marble, of a blulsb-gray color, eight and one-half feet high, nud bears tbo follow. ing inscription cut in large Roman letters: John Marshall, Chief Justice of tbe United States. Erected by tbe Bar and' Congress of the United States, 1881. Shortly after the death of Chief Jns tlco Marshall the Bar Association ol Philadeluhia commenced to raise a fund lo erect this moxument, and for this purpose succeeded in collecting a sum wnicn, wiui accrued interest, now amounts to $20,000. To this a like sum of $20,000 was appropriated by Congress a lew years ago. The work was assigned to W. W. Story, who lias produced a brcuze figure in a sitting poature.draped with the robe of office worn by the Chief Justice of the United States. The figure is twelve feet high, and the like, ness is said to be good. When the new marble stairways, lead, ing to tbe western entrance of the Citnl tnl are completed, Marshall's statue will bo on tbe plateau midway between them. Cueing west, with about filly feet space intervening between the statue and the marble wall, which is to take the place of tbo present dirt terrace. The site was selected by a committee of tbe Bar As sociation of Philadelphia, and when the contemplated Improvements to tbe Capi tol are completed, the selection cannot tall to meet popular approval. THE EDMUNDS-BLAINE THELPS EFISODE. The Edmuuds-Blaiue-Pbelps episode has become n topic of thrilling interest to the politicians who are weary of tbe sluggisu calms of a dull political cam paign. Underneath nil this preliminary leucing there is something seen of a deadly purpose or ine two principals, illume and Jbdmunds. THE BLAINE VIEW OF IT. A friend ot Blaine's said to night: "It amuses me to see Edmunds stirred up at last, lie Units tbat tbe road or a Presidential candidate is not a pleasant one. He is now down in the arena where bo will have to take the builetinus, abuse and misrepresentation that comes to a man with Presidential aspirations. It may teach him some charity for Blaine after be has been knocked about for a few weeks nnd made to suffer from the bowls of prejudice over a perfectly proper net. Wbeu he has gnawed the nle of makint; a defense which bis eno uiies will call n confession, then be will realize tbat perhaps after all life npou a pedestal Is not comfortable. Unco down. though, be will neyer Ret back to the imaginary plane where tbe truly good Independents have so loug cazed noon him as tbeir patron saint, floating in a reaim too pure nnd bigb lor earthly poll ticians to everapproacu." Special ts the Carbon Advocate. Washington, May 3, 1881. Ono ot the surest signs tnat Washington is beginning to have attractions for people who wish to make it a permanent place of residence the year round, and who are not compelled to ho bere by reason of holding office, is that an unusual number of fine paintings and works ofart are to be seen Ibis season In many houses. These works ofart used to be left at home, as a rule, by their owners, and in former years it was somethingofa rarity to see a good picture or a fine piece of statuary in the house of your host. Now it Isn't an unusual thing to see a Fortunity, a Madraio, a Trayon, a Ziem, a Diaz, or others of tho same class hanging on the walls of tho houses which are not merelv rented for the season.

The part week was one of surprises and changes at the Treasury. The resignation ul Chlel Clerk Webster, doubtless caused by a desire to enter Into private business, and superinduced by disappointment and ill satisfaction, its immediate acceptance and the appointment ofMr. Theodore F.

Trevilt tobechiefof the appointment division lo succeed Mr. Butler, resigned, and of Mr. David Kellett to succeed Mr. Trevitl; tbe resignation of Mr. Knox aud the declina tion of Mr. Burrows, have been among lha cyents of a single week in a single depart- menU Nothing could demonstrate more elearly the unreliability of the estimates lately putjiisnru ol ine yole likely to be re reived by the several candidates for the Republican nomination for President than the manner In which tbe figures are twitted and turned ac.-nrdlng lo the partiality nf those making the calculation. The New York Tribune, lor instance, glyes Blaine 358 of the delegates elected prior to lo day's convention!, or within A3 of enough lu se cure the nomination, while the Chicago Inter-Ocean allows him but 13V for the same period, and claims 300 lor Arthur. Of the delegates already elected to the Convention filly belonged "to the 30(1 who stood by Grant in 1830, nnd Grant's friends think they will be ready to (tart the old rallying cry when the lime Is opportune. THE NEW BILK INDUSTRY. THE RKSVI.T or TIIIC COMfKTITMX FOR TIIE silk ccltckk rnKMiuus. From Philadelphia Inquirer, Afoy 2, 1881. The chief attraction at the silk culture exhibition at Horticultural Hall last night was tho awarding of premiums by Straw bridged Clothier for the best silk cocoons raised In the Vnitcd States during 1883, The premiums were awarded on the basis of the quality and quantity of reeled silk yielded by each 100 cocoons There were seventy seyen entries from twenty Stales for premiums, which amounted to (500. Mr. Clarkton Clothier, in awarding the premiums, saidi I come forward this evening to announce the award of the third annual premiums offered by Slrawbridge Jt Clothier to the silk culturlstsof the United Stales through the Women's Silk Culture Association. On the first occasion, the number or contestants wis twenty-six, from four States; on the second occasion tbe number was thirty three, fiom eleven States; this year we have seventy seven competitors, from twenty States. It is but fair to assume tbat the growth of silk culture is to be measured bv these figuresind tbe astonishing development of this Industry In tun last three years is, in deed, wonderful. From all parts ot the country come assuring sounds ol encourage ment. The Industry has developed wonderfully in California, to which State the first pre il ium was awarded last vear, and In the South and Kast many are taking hold of the work, 'ihelact being established that cocoons can bq produced in paying quan tities the problem became how to iiaye these reeled in sufficient quantities to keep pace with the supply, there being no steam filatures in this section of the country and the hand leeli used hero being inadequate ts the increased task. To devolon this iin portent feature of the industry the firm of btrawbndge x Clothier brought lo the city a lorelgn steam reel which is now running successfully in this hall. By this means the continuous development of the silk Irom tbe worm through the successive stages of the cocoon, the reeled silk and the woven fabric becomes a matter of assured Isct, and we see that silk culture, which needs ouly time to become a great national industry, is successfully being illustrated iu all its stages in this country at the present. This ia a state ot affairs that is eseciaily gratifying to every citizen, and while we measure the im)Hrtance of these results thus far attained, it must not be forgotten that to the fostering care and patient work ol the members of the Women's Silk Cul ture Association the result is largely due. Let us remember this, and in thus honor ing these ladies whose far-sighted wisdom has foreseen these results, and whoso well directed energies have produced them, we shall nut be giving "honor to whom honor is nue."
