The nomination of a full Prohibition ticket is h, political event In Pennsyl vania that portends much. .lint how fur the two old parties may bo affected by .this movement Is uncertain, even tor tbn most wise political observer.

The nlonecrs of the ItenuVmkVh orc.ni zation 'ycte esteftined as crritiKs; anil even their ."frajrers offered to the flpd of free and ylVevwcro jeered as nldi.'cllttlng p61ftl , cadiilTorlSj Hut the, lieitlbilcan of 1SJ. slid ' iSOO Is not the Itr'ptiblican of lSStl, ii.nnd tiljs sentiment which built up that organization to mighty propoitlons In so hm-t n tlmn la ile.nd mill linrleil nntlpr the wrongs of later days. It is u party of one Idea, It learns nothing and foigets 'nothing. There are thousands of voters lulls ranks who to-day fly the "bloody shirt" as they did twenty-live years ago, who still persist in keeping alive the al most smothered fire of the. late civil jvar. . The Prohibitionist, like the lte publlcan of 1SS5, starts out with one Idea firmly planted on his mind to do away with the liquor tralllc. Will he do It? If we look back over the past five' years anil sec how tlio cause lias grown In' that short time, even the most unbe lieving Democrat or Itepublicau must acknowledge that It really does look a little suspicious. The Prohibition ques tion has tossed the strongest Western ltepubllcan States from their party moorings; will it not do tlio same in Pennsylvania? It has come here, and there Is no question but that it has coino to stay. IT CANNOT BE BOTH. N. Y. Son: Abraham Lincoln naiil of the United States that they must all le free or all be slaves; both they could not permanently be. This saying might now bd well applied lo the great party which elected Lincoln , President. The UcpuMican party must be'all prohibitionist or all license. It cannot be both and live. A disciplined and enthusiastic body of Frohibitionists has left the Itepublicau party in recent years, and this year it is making a fight more earnest, persistent and vigorous than in any year past ; and its bitterest enemy is the Republican party whence it came. Not that the Prohibitionists love the1 Democrats more, but they hate them lcf. Within the ltepnblicnn party still are "great iiiltn!er.s of prohibition I'opuhli can, for whom inconsistent and wabbling temperance platforms arc still built by Itepubliciui convention-!, but whom the temptation to join their Prohibitionist tiretlircn, already acting under a separata flag. 'must each year uwail with new force. There are not more than four or five Kepublicnn States which the iicpuhlicans could retain control of if they should come out squarely, fairly, and everywhere for prohibition. It would teem, then, that sooner or later the great proliibi tlon clement still remaining in the Kcpiiblican party will bo likely to seek its natural friend, the "straight" Pro hibitisnistH. ' When evasion and pre varication on tho subject become useless to thi Iteiuiblican party, It can perhaps ahold to take ground in favor of high license,'!?, wliicli sonio of the abhVit and most influential Itepublicau journals are already looking asthe propcrand nointlbl anil sole practical ssUution of the jlquo qucxtion. Meanwhile the imti-sajoon tub willnot satisfy the prohibition whale, and it isan exciting possibility that that excited animal may be able to smash the llepiiljlio.ni ship. The Prohibition arty is not yet big enough to build, but it nriy bo bigcnouli to smash tilings! Evidently Brother Itlainc suspects as much. K WE BISE TO EXPLAINS Several weeks ago tlio following Item appeared in our columns: At a recent meeting of our town council Joseph Obert presented a bill for damages sustained liy him. by the upsetting of a wagon while crossing (jio gutter on South street near the square. Ills claim was ignoied. It seems to be tlio prevailing opinion of manY of our citizens that Mr. Oboit. while burgess of our town, should have looked to tills very matter. At the tlmo of Its publication jye only expressed the prevailing sentlnumt of a majority of our people. Wo have, sluco learned, however, that Mr. Obert while Burgess of our town, lahored earnestly and energetically to advaucn tlio best Interests -of our borough; and that through his efforts a culvert would havo been built opposite the square had the finances of the borough at that time al lowed It. A number of Improvements weie .made during his term of oillco, notably tlio stone pavement along the square, which reflects much credit on hlin as a borough officer, working for the Interests of our people. Wo make the above explanation In justice to Mr. Obert, and the interest ofourtaxpayers. A CHANGED BNDWICH MAN.

Wo scaicely expect tlio zephyrs of Spring when the DogStar rages; but the most splendid of Spring days was no liner than Sunday last Without any preconcert of action, there seemed to ho a sort of general under standing that It was a good thing to cct out ot town. Ofcomse, wo all under stand that tlie strong personality of the preacher has much to do with tliechureli attendance; p-iliapsthls ought not to be so, but there Is the fact staring us In the face that it has, and so wenre notinucl: surpiiscd when wo And Tuliuagc's Tab ernacle, Beecher's I'ljinouth Chinch, and Dr. John Hall's magnificent temple on the Cth Avenue, with less than a corpor al s guard, "llio Crows were (Sod's first temples," says Bryant, and a com rnune with Him from the, heights of liiverside, on suchagloijousday, was no bad compromise lor the Indllfcicnt sum mer service wjh wbish most of our city churches are allliicd during the season of outing. .. I'l) mouth Church gives .Mr, Needier (KiOO lor every Sunday that he Is actually engaged there. Yrt the man who supplies hh place when ho Is gone is amply ivcoiiipensul with twouft-live dollars and his breakfast and lodiiluc, Poor pay, poor preach; but tlie minister himself who is traveling abroard nllh his family, and tba trustees who liavo the care of the church in the absence of the regular shepherd, seem to think that any thing is good enough for tlio summer. The churches wcie empty; the steam boats and railroad cars were full for everybody that could seemed anxious to get away to tbu green fields for a day' cnjoymenlaiid relaxation. Tho Blevatcil roads were taicd to their utmost, the low- fare of bunday having much to do with the increased travel. And heic wo wero brought face to face Willi one of these strange hard contrasts with which this city abounds. Along the Bowery aie several largo clothing inaiiufactuiliig establishments, employing huudi'ids of people; and while thousands weie being w 111 j led away to the parks and the lields, all through tho Sabbath, other thou sands toiled in the hot, close rooms, packed like a human hive, lighting for bread. I had not been at fieuerul Oram's tomb for many mouths, and I turned my steps toward lilveuldo Pail:, to see what a grateful nation was dolus In re- gard to the splendid Mauv.leum, wlnUi Is to cover th" a-h (.f our d.stfi.'' 1 i- luro. I , I'u.U d i ( tl-' Hiii aid as I readied tb- summit, 1 looked about for the crouds which 1 expected would be paying tlio hero of Appomattox their reverence on such a day ns this; but there were not fifty people In tlio portion of the Park where the tomb Is, and not more thnn a half dozen about tlio tomb Itself. I uncovered my head nnd stood Hi silent rcverio ns tlio sceno passed apldly In review before me, when wo met last In life. It w:i3 about a year before his death. I wasln ICasliIngton at tlio time and there was a grand camp lire at Masonic Hall, which brought all the old soldiers In nnd about Washing ton to tlie front. General Grant being in town was, of course, Invited, and Black .lack Logan gave tho history of the Vlcksburg campaign. 1 stood witli General Grant tn theante-rooiii awaiting the signal to bo given by tho committee that they w ere ready to begin, and when It was given I followed him to the stage, and sat beside him till the closn of the exercises. I shall never forget the w lid enthusiasm of the old soldiers that night; then wc parted, and I never saw him again alive. Willie I was pondering over that thrilling scene, n, couple of Iilsli servant girls came up to the iron gate of tlio tomb; a policeman stood guard there, and no one was allowed to approach within eight or ten fect of the entrance. Both tho girls peered cauti ously Into tho gloomy portnl where. nothing could be seen except a bed of tlowcrs; they then walked slowly all around it, that no detail might escape them; and finally arriving at the gate ain, turned to tlie policeman, ami asked inquiringly, Is this ail? That's all, ho curtly replied. The elder then turned to the younger, in high dudgeon, and said somewhat tartly, "Sure, it's a rog'lar swindle, Julia. Faith, If I'd known this I'd neycr have paid mo tin chits to get here. Sliure, I thought wo wor goln' to have a look at tho corpse;" and turning up her nose she flirted off, satisfied that she had been robbqd of her tin ciuts. A year lias passed, and not a shovelful! of earth has been turned for the foundation of this magnificent Mausoleum, that was to cost a million of dollars, at least. Only a trlllo over $100,000 lias been subscribed, under the management of tho respectable fossils that have tlie management In charge. Unless something Is speedily done to redeem the city's honor, and to fulfill the pledge given to his relatives when they consent'ed to let his mortal remains lie on the baiiKs of the Hudson, it Is not Impossible that they may yet be removed to tho capital of the nation, where it is to be hoped they w ill meet witli more honorable treatment than Xew York bos yet accorded them. And now awordto tho visitor to that sacred shilne. Eat a good hearty meal before J ou go, or carry your refreshments witli you, for if by chance you should be lured Into the only hotel on the grounds, you will be fleeced. Extortion is practiced with Impunity; for it is the only place whcie you cm get anything to cat or drink. If you are un fortunate enough to have a lady or two with j ou, the rascals who wait on the tables lake advantage of it, and pile ou the bill know liii: there is no escape. Tlie best way is to avoid the place alto gethcr, and thus escape an Intolerable nnd annoying nuisance. It has been a lively week among the yachtsmen, and Lieutenant llenn with his cutter, Galatea, has kept all of our racers on their metal. Apropos of Lieut. Ilenn, he seems to havu stepped Into the good graces of the public and the press, w Itliout an effort on his part, and overy wheio he is voted a tip-topsawycr. Ho Is not very large, but what there Is of him, is first class and that's tlio class that Is always welcome to these shores. He looks every inch a sailor, with a good, frank, honest face, and while, of course, we want to keep tho challenge cup at home, if it must go back there is no yachtsman that ever crossed the sea whom we would sooner see carry it to Albion s Isle than Lieutenant Ilenn. While tho Lieutenant has been busy cap turing the men, his estimable wife has captured men and women Indiscrimin ately. The ladles appear all to have fallen in love with her, and the set of her yacht ing jacket and tlio stylo of her marine dresses aro now tlie town walk. They are immensely popular and deservedly so, and the bold challenge w hich lie is sued for a race around Bermuda has raised him Infinitely In the public esti mation. In this connection It is not pleasant to be compelled to say that Beavolr Webb, who accompanies him, is a snol) and a cad. His Insolent and overheating manners to the members of tho press, who have sought Information of him, have disgusted them all, and It Is generally agreed between tho scribes that the difference between tho two per sons named, Is precisely the dllfeienco between a well-bred, courteous, polished gentleman, and a vulgar, conceited, purse proud clown; wo waut no more of Webb. iiioimh this Is usually supposed 10 be the dullest season of the year, we have had quite a business week. Wheat took a jump the week before; corn followed In Its footsteps; stocks responded all along the line, in short, it was n Bull week. Our smile was n idcnlng to a broad grin, when the tie up on tho Bioadway and Seventh Avenue stufacu roads Euddnly icmiiidcd us that the Knights of Labor are not dead, nor even sleeping; or If they do take a nap, It Is generally with one eye open. Tho strike was not ordered till 12 o'clock on Monday, and In an hour over a thumaud men fill Into line, as though they were a well drilled army. Thotenlble suffcilng and loss experi enced bj the Third Avenue stilkcs last winter and spring, seems to have had no effect In deterring them, and there Is bound to be much buffering and loss to tho men before this question is settled. But as X said wo had quite a littlo busi ness boom, which was felt in every de- paiiment ot tiatle. tieal estate Is now considered one of the safest Investments, and has taken a tremendous stride within a year. Commerce and manufactures aie driving out many of the old haunts of vice, and in a few u-ars at most, that leper spot, the 11 e Points, so famous in the chronicle of crime and sin, will bo swept away. The amusement season Is upon us;all of our gloat theatrical compMiiiw aie ready for the fisy. From the list ot promised entertainments and stars it looks as ihnijjh light open and bur- h vpu s wind I be the preiloin'ii.i'iiig (..i-un-. IN -Kb-. the Aiuei:.-.ni op.ra, 10 u t. M.

If any lady or gentleman has $200,0(30 which they are particularly anxious to get rid of, I should say by nil means try opera. If ou can't get lid of it your self fast enough, send for Colonel Map leson of her Mnjerty's contingent, and I'll bet a sour apple that In six months nt the farthest you'll lmvo nothing to complain of. It Is said to he fixed that Abbey will bring back Paul for n concert term; 1 wonder If lie will give her $5,000 per night. We shall have Sarah Bern hardt and Miss Fortesctte and an army of adventurers besides, so that we are not likely to suffer for amusements. Though all of the theatres aro In full blast not a preacher of note has yet put In nn appearance, though In the next two weeks wo expect to sco all of our churches open and our vagrant shep herds once more busy In the vineyard of the Lord. Beside the vineyard, there are great fields ripe with young nnd hoary sinners and ready for the gospel sickle. Tlio laborers aro few and the harvest great. Politics aro still on tho ragged edge, and it almost appears as If every man who ever held ofllee were tainted more or less. Though but with few exceptions' the entire Board o Aldermen vvcre im plicated In the Broadway steal, and the men who supplied tho money for the bribes are well known, not a briber has been touched. Squire's head has tumbled Into the basket. The Governor kicked him out on Wednesday. Heaven bo thanked, we've got lid of Squire. BBOADBBIM. Wasliington Sews and Gossip. From our Sncclal Correspondent. Washington. D. C, Aug. 28, 'SO. To-day has been exceedingly hot and sultry, but the warm weather docs not stop politicians from talking, although it docs make them thirsty. Seated un der a large tree in front of an uptown hotel this evening was a party of gentle men, Including a Democratic Senator, an ex-member of Congress, a retired Army ollicer, a well known claims agent nnd several others. Mr. Blaine's recent speeches were discussed anil pronounced wanting in many respects as compared with hh previous public utterances. The conversation finally turned upon the Democratic nominating conventions which are being held dally in various pai Is of the country. The Senator was asked to explain why it is that so many well known Democratic Congressmen aro being defeated for renomlnation. He said he was unable to account for It, unless it Is that thcreare more aspirants for congressional honors In tlie Held this year than heretofore. In some parts of the country certain people believe that the longer a man remains in Congress the moro valuable bo becomes to his constituents. In many instances this correct. There are men w ho have for years made their friends believe that continuous service in congress goes baud htiiand witli federal patronage, When a Democratic President was in augurated these Congressmen felt conli- dent that their experience and long ac quaintance with public nffahs would se cure for them prompt nnd favorable recognition at the hands of the present administration. They made numerous promises to their constituents which they have not been ablo to fulfill. Those olllce-seekers who have not been to Washington and cooled their heels out side the President's door cannot under stand why their Congressman lias not been more succussful In gathering up the loaves and llslies, hence they have determined to try a now deal, and see what tho result will bo. Thcie aro olh cr reasons for retiring the old veterans, continued the Senator. There Is a young and ambitious generation coming to tlie front and they do not propose to bo left in tlie background any longer. In many Congressional districts a- Democratic nomination Is equivalent to an election. Several candidates will put In bids for tlio nomination, and beforo they are fully aware of It they are Involved in a general row amons themselves, which dually becomes so bitter that a com promise lias to bo mule upon a weaker or a less deseivlng man than either of tlie leading aspirants. Sometimes they carry their personal prejudices so far that a Bcpublican or an independent Bepubllcau slips hi and carries olT tlie prize. There are cases w here old and worthy men have been forced to conic out and decline a nomination to avoid a ejection In the nominating convention. I he annmicement that Deputy Con troller Thomas E. Benedict, of Albany, i. 1., has been appointed public pi Int er, is a sad disappointment to the sever al gentlemen whose names havo been prominently nicnl toned In this connec tion. It Is generally supposed that such a strong light was made by the most! prominent of tho candidates for the placo that the President compromised by not appointing any of them. Tlio appointment Is somewhat of a surprise, as the chango was not expected until aflei tba President returned from his vacation trip. Public Printer Benedict will not find much to do in tlio way of appointments when lie takes charse.un Ie3s he removes Democrats right and left. Mr. Bounds, anticipating that he was to be removed, jet hoping to be re tained, has been exceedingly gracious to Democratic politicians. All their re quests were compiled with, nnd there aro now but few Bopubllcans In tlio government printing olllce. Mr. Bene dict was editor of a newspaper at Ellcn ville. X. Y from 1S70 to 18S1, during which tlmo he represented his district two terms Iji tlie Stato Assembly as a Democrat, lie is said to bo an excellent i business man. I One of the busiest departments under ! the Gov eminent is tlio Patent Olllce. I The amount of work that Is done by I this department can beappreclated only ! by a trip thiough the Ofllco and an explanation of the details. In the past . twenty-five yearn the granting of patents ' has grown to an extent that Is astonish Ing, And Indicates what progress Is being nude In the sciences by Young America. For the first forty-six years after its organization tho number of patents Issued averaged only two hundred and fifty per j.ar. but' the Oue is now Issuing j .ilenls a I he rue ,,,. drcd a week as it formerly issued m a year. Tho total number Issued up to this date Is .104,021. The Olllce, after paying Its own expense, has a balance to Its credit of $2,0 15,405,48 In the Treasury. It Is tho only branch of Government that pays Its own expenses, and Is not a burden to the people by way of taxation. A man with a mechani cal turn of mind could Intensely enjoy weeks and months among the 500,000 models nnd drawings so conveniently arranged and displayed In this Immense department. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both received patents on "Improvements In ploughs." In a former letter I alluded to the friendships that are so often abruptly broken among the olllclals. No matter how patronizing and humble an appli cant may he, the moment he gets In he assumes all the dignity and Importance his position Is entitled to, and brooks no Insinuations. About the time Congress adjourned Senator Harris, of Tennessee, went up to sco tlie President about an appointment m his State, which some of his constituents were Interested In. He stated his case, and the President replcd : "Well, it seems to mo that you have a good deal of assurance to come hero ask ing for an appointment when you voted against my man Matthews." The Sena tor got hot In n second. "I'll havo you know, Mr. President," lie said, "that It Is nonc'of your business what I do ordo riot do In the Senate. I am the master, sir, of my own actions there, as vou aie here. I didn't come hero asking any favors of you on any personal grounds. The people of the State of Tennessee, whom I represent, asked me to do this, and that is why I came here. You may do as you d please, sir, about the matter-but sir, I want It distinctly under stood, that what I do as a Senator Is be yond your jurisdiction," and tlio irato Senator left In a hurry and declares ho- will never spenk to tlie President again. Treasury olllclals are having consider able quiet fun growing out of tlie recent bond calls. It Is well known about the department that Treasurer Jordan, who is now at tho Arkansas Hot Springs, Is violently opposed to bond calls on gen oral principles, and In a recent letter to a personal friend ho fairly howled he- cause so much of tlio surplus has been ordered out of the Treasury. At the present rate of redemption of bonds, $15,000,000 per month, tlio redeemable part of the public debt will be wiped out In about seven months, there being but $107,000,000 of three per cent, bonds yet outstanding and subject to call. In one of the appropriation bills passed at the last session of Congress is an item of $14 for pay to tlio Fourth Beglment of Vermont Militia for services at tlio battle of Pittsburgh, (war of 1812.) Bather tardy justice, but better late than never. Within the past two weeks five war widows havo been discharged from tlie Treasury department. They have ap pealed to tho Grand Army to demand there reinstatement and there are num erous Indications of livelj times ahead. HU. ESSER HEARD FROM. Mil. Eliiron: In an editorial of your Issue of tbn 28th ult., vou say it is re ported that I, "while at Glen Onoko last Wednesday, made tlie remark thut in case tlie Democracy of Lehighton failed tosuppoi t Michael Cassidy for Congress, no Lehighton Democrat should havo an olllce for ten veins, as tho Irish would slaughter them every time." I have simply to say In reply that it Is ahso intelv and unqualifiedly false, and that Mr. Milton Clauss. the author of it, and to whom It should have been sahl In I lie presence of ex .Sheriff Lcntz, s.ijs so, and tliat he infoimed his father that it was all wrong, and notwithstanding, T.
