N. Y. Sun: It is surprising that the
Republicans havo waited bo long to pro
claim that the present gencr.il depression
in bnsiness is attributnbio lo tbeir defeat
nt the recent election. Tho cry was
raised on Saturday in Congress, when
Mr, Uorr declared that tho business
(roubles of the couutry were mainly due
to distrust of the Deniocratio party. He
wight just as Irnly sny that distrust ol
tbo Dsmocratio party made tho wind
blow fifty miles an hour tbo other day.
or caused tho destruction of a Long Is
land fnctory by lightning iu Jnunnry.
The business troubles of (he country
began long before (be election of n Dem
ocra iu President, aud when there was
evtry pr.ispect of a continuance of the
Itepnblicau power. They originated in
causes with which political parties havf
nothing lo do, and they will lermiuate
without regard to political influences.
The attempt to mako tbo Democrats re
sponsible for the existing depression iu
business isdemngogUm pure nnd simple.
The Chicago Hebald of a recent date
says: Statistics of tbo murders com

1881 shows (hat Ohio leads with 180.
Texas following with 181, nud Bhode

Three men t(ood on (ho corner ot New

atl en there is tcarcely anything so dastard
ly or o bold;, none but tho most cowardly
villains would ever have stood by, and
navo seen a man Hacked to pieces, as a
l'helnn was, without trying to stop the
fray. Rut the whole thing pilnts to a pro
meditated assassination, carclully planned
but bungUngly executed. They undoubt
cdly lntondcd that Pholan should be killed,
and that Short should get away, and tho
reitehiiuld scatter, leaving the dtad body
to be found by whoever came into the of
fice; while Jerry O'Donovan, who delights
to call himself Rossa, had a carefully pro
pared alibi which was lo clear him of all
complicity In the murder. But Mr. Phelan
wat not removed; and now that he has
tlarted in, ho promises lo msko it rather
livoly lor some of (bo dynamite club. At a
dynamlto meeting some few weeks ago,
Tom McFinn, said, "v!d twinty pounds of
dynamite we could blow up tho city of
London. It can bo made for tin cents a
pound; If wo only had funds we'd show
'em." According lo this patriot's estimate
it would cost about two dollars to send
John Dull howling. Patriotism must be ot
a low ebb when that amount can't be
raised. Patriotism has evidently not paid
yery well lately, for Jerry Donnyan, somo
times called Rossa, got In a tight place, and
if a friend had not come to tho rescue with
a $100 bill, he might hayo gono without
his codfish on Friday. It ia certainly re

Tho Press of Now York hoyo succeeded
In hounding Ueneral Grant down; and I
hopo they feel satisfied with their handi

would have been placed in a comfortable
position in his old age; but the hounds of
tho press commenced howling at his heel?,
nnd tho consequence was, that General
Grant, to maintain his telf respect, was
compelled to decllno the gift. Then came
the princely offer of Win. II Vanderbilt.sn
oiler that does honor to hlj head and his
heart. The p.-ess ogiln jumped in like eo

Atlas', tho Madison Avenue Presbvleri
an Church hat got rid of its nuisance, Dr.
Newman, Tho attempts to steal the church
Irom tho Presbyterian fold has ended in
defeat, as it ought, and Newman and his
frieiula are routed. .Nothing more disgrace
ful hat been seen in New York in twenty
years. No wonder that Bob Ingereoll
crowds tho Academy of Music on Sunday
nights. No wonder that thousands of peo
ple pay a dollar to hear him, while the
crowd roars at his jibes nnd jests. If New
man and his friends nre sample christians,
what must tho world think when they hear
these professors of religion calling each
othor rogues, and twindlcrs, and cheats,
and liars. The Inst meeting when tho
Ncwmanlles were defeated, resembled a
sixth ward primary, or a second class dog
pit. There was no love, no charity, no for
giveness of injuries. All wu3 bitterness
and bate and malice. If it had not been
for Iho presence of the police there might
have been wigt on the creen. Let us hopo
that Ncwimin now that he has been kicked

seek a mission down on tho Congo with

FROM WASHINGTON
Sreclal to tho Uardon Aotocatk.
Washington, Jan, 17, 1SS5.
The condition of Washington society
at the present lime is one that runy be
best dewlbed by tho word unhappy.
The prominent Republicans of the day
have for n long time with tbeir families
controlled society. Thero l.ns been nl-
wnys a" certain harmony between these
leaders upon Iho common ground of so
ciety, however muoh they might differ
upon the subject of political men nnd
measures. But now tho differences of
politics hayo reached the social field.
The result, therefore, is a constuut clash
ing. Diingreenblo incidents follow ono
nnothcr, 60 thnt society Ibis winter has
tnkon ou nn unusnnlly beligerent mood.
One bears so much recrimiuntion when
one goes out that tho effect is very do-
pressing to those who go out for plain
unadorned recreation instead of bitter,
bothersome bnckbititig. Tno ndminis
trntion peopla nre the most activo in
their recriminations. Tho wives ol the
leading Cabinet people nre continually
nt odds with the ladies who nindu sn
what wns known ns the Blnino coterie iu
Waibington tociety.
The wives of the members of Iho Cabi
net, for instance, make no secret of how
lonesomo thoy fed their approaching de
thronement. A lady remnrltod to Mrs.
Brewster very lately, "Well, the o'd
round of plcosuro lins beguu ngain," nnd
sbo nuswered with n sigh nnd then n
laugh, "Yes, and It will end pretty soon
tor me," Arthur impresses n good mnny
people with tbo idea Ihnt he will havo ill
tho fun be can get out of it this winter,
nud the sciles of festivities nt the White
House will probably do more than cover
tbo old well beaten track. As ten days
oftbe season will boused up with the
New Orleaus tlip ho has not much time
to lose. Major Arthur's wife is enjojing
ber first visit to tho Wbito House.
Judge Reagan thinks that a bill ol
somo kind reculntiua iuter-stnte com.
meice will uo passed during Ibis sebsiou
of Congress by tbo Senate. He tbluks tbo
Senate, in view of tho fact that the
House voted by such a large majority ior
bis mensurn, can bnrdly fail to concur or
to pass a similar bill. Ho opposes n
commission of nny kiud iu connection
with the snbject, holding thnt Congress
should insist ou Its rights iu the matter
rather thnu transfer them to a comnais.

railroads into neglecting their duty in
tho premises. Tbo couimitteo h.tviug
charge of tickets for the inauguration
ball intend to have thern copy riled ko
us to punish any one bo may issue nny
couuterfeits of the same.
The S wai m court martial is drawing
to a close, nu J if Gen. Swalm does not
como to grief it will be n surprise to tho
military officers in Wnshington, who
havo closely followed the testimony given
iu tho CJ33. It is said by those who
have means of knowing something of (he
impressions of the Courl, (hat the courte
of Gen. Snaim during (be (rial has (end
ed (o lead (be Q-.-urt lo believe be is
afraid to have the whole truth about his
transactions ns a speculator aud money
broker brought to light. Ha lias nvniled
himself of every tecbuicnl objection to
the testimony offered by the Govern,
meut.nnd treated tbo case as if it were
before a police court. This conduct has
been offenkive to Ibe members of the
courl, nud has certainly tended to preju
dice the cause of the defendant.
At the Wbito House it is said that
President Arthur will probably not bo
nblo to visit tbn New Orleaus Exposition
nodi some time iu February. His pro
gramme of social entertainments which
was roceutly iesued will prevent him
from lenviug Washington until after the
9th of February.

OUR HABHISBDRG LETTER.
Special to tbo Cakdjn Advocate.
HiEM-nona, Pa,, Jan. U0, '85.
The first commendablo aot of tho pres
ent Legislative session is tho passing of
n resolution npnronri.itlnc! tho sum nl
$10,000 to further the interests of tho
Stato of Pennsylvania in ber exhibits at
tho Now Orleaus Exposition, now in pro-
gress. The bill has passed both brauches
of tho general Assembly without a dig
sentiug vote. All it needs to make it
operative is tbo approval of the Governor.
It is said upon our streets to-day that
tho Governor will not tign it because bo
thinki it is unconstitutional, nud that it
sboul 1 have bceu presented in form ofn
bill and not by resolution. The Semite
passed a resolution to-day that if Iht
House concur tho Governor be rcqivsttd
to loturn tbo lesolutlin banded to bim
on January 15th, to Ihe House in which
it originntid. Tho Commissioner for
Pennsylvania nt the Exposition scattered
n circular nil over tho Houses lo-dny set
ting forth what has been dona thus Inl
and money expended, nnd nlso appeals
to tbo Representatives for some dtclslte
move to guide bim In this emergency.
S iyiu2 also that if they deem it advisable
to withdraw the exhibits and return
thtm all valuablo properly shipped to
him to Iho owners, which it will ccst
Bsvcral hundred dollars to repack and
return, nnd to refuse nil exhibits now
tendered but not shipped, He will
cheerfully nbido by their decision nnd
bear his individual loss of nbout $3,000
without complaint, nnd if, on ti e other
hand, they wish to make it complete
aud worthy of this Commonwealth, be
will continue iu bis work to the eud Ho
njso sets forth what will be exhibited by
I'eunsvlvanla nt ihe Exposition.
The first and enly bill upon file in the
IIou3e has passed lo third reading. TliU
is a supplement to nn net enlitled, "Au
Act lelativo lo tbo establishment nnd
jurisdiction of Magistrate's Courts in tLe
city of Pbilidtlpbia, approved Feb. 5.
1875. The Senato has several important
bills on file to take ndvantage of the ear
ly part of tho tettion to tffact a parage.
Ou Thursday nlteruoon at 3 o'clock the
caucus of tho Republican party was
called; Siuator Smith, of Puiladolphia,
was elected permaueut chairman by ac
clamation.and was greeted with npplauso
when he look his saat. Tho greatest
anxiety was exercised by the crowds Ibat
bad filled every corner of tho Hill. But
it was soon mado muilfest that the meet
ing would not ba n stormy one on no
connt of its being so Urcely one sided.
Ti.li meeting is called to comply with
the Iieglslitivo Aot of 1807, where it snys
that each House of the Legislature shall
appoint ono teller, nnd nominate nt least
one person to fill Iho office of Senator,
to represent this State iu the Senate of
the U. S., nt least two days previous to
the joint meeting, communicating to the
other Houso tho names of (he persona so
appointed aud nominated. This caucus
was a preliminary meeting of the majori
ty party, it is useless for tbo minority to
make nny eff irt to elect their ehoioe.uu
loss a lock iu the majority occurs. A
caucus is a meeting preliminary to an
election lor tho selection of caiiJHates
for offices. This is an old custom, but
purely American, instituted, uo doubt,
about 1770, when a party of rope-makers
and cnlkers held a meetiug at which in
flammatory addresses aud violont resolu
tions were passed ngaiust tho Briti.h
j government nud its ogeuts nnd iustrn
' incuts iu America. The Tories iu dirls-

corrupted lo caucus.

meeting, Hou. J. D. Cameron,

The caucus nijnumcd at 7:30. A short
session of nbout ton minutes duration on
Friday sent tbo members borne for Ibo
week to Bpcud Sunday, nnd return for

Monday the House was onlled to order
and llev. J. W. Fight, the chaplain ap
pointed, opened with prayer. Afler
reading tho Journal nnd appointing n
Committee on Hulls nnd Itcgulations,
Mr. Burton, of Allegheny, offered n reso
lution whiob read as follows: Heici.ved,
if the Senate concur, that the Senators
In Congress assembled- bo nrced to use
their influence in favor of the passage of
tbo Foreign Contract Bill. Mr. Burton
mado n very eloquent twenty minute
speech iu bebnlf of bis resolution. Hli
logic was conclusive, which showed to
bis fellow members nud others that ho
believes thoroughly iu the resolution bo
wishes to have passed. Tho Senate had
eo Monday evening session.
Tho Sennte nnd Houso wero called to
order to-day nt 11 r. m. Tho usual
routine of rinding journal, presenting
bills nud reselntions passed. Since the
resolution pertaiuiiiB to nnnronrinltnn
$10,000 is not signed by the Governor,
the Seunte has n bill ou second rending
ior the same purpose. The Honso ses
sions was short aud at 1 1 :20 both Houst s
