They tell us again that Mr. Tilden Is about being married. We hope it is true but we suppose it is false. "We hope it is true because we want Mr. Tilden te le happy, and he seems te want something te make him happy. If a wife will fill the void place, and is ready te fill it, let it be filled. But we doubt the report because Mr. Tilden does seem te lack-the boldness necessary for the undertaking. Te take a wife must be, te a man who has se long shrunk from the attempt, a mere gigantic essAy than te capture a pres idency te which he has been chosen. The bride may have elected him and may be waiting for him, but te go boldly up te her and adept the necessary means te re duce her into possession, at the altar of the church and in the presence of the people and out of the hands of her sisters and her cousins and her aunts, who hang en te her with weeping eyes and great tenacity, takes mere courage than Mr. Tilden has ever demonstrated the possession of. Still he may be able te de it. Wc willingly hand him ever the bride if he will have her, and hope she may reconcile him te the less of the presidency, which we can not trust him again te take. In his re tirement from political cares the solace of a wife will be very grateful te our ex president, who is new ex pretty much all of the joys as well as cares of existence, and has but his memories and his con science, his ills and his cash te bless and trouble him. A wife is about the only geed thing left for him te take, and if he would marry our Pennsylvania girl who is the latest candidate for his mate, he would de a very geed thing. The compliment te the state would hardly help him materially in a canvass for its vote, and we aresurc he would net expect it. If he takes a wife we knew that it will be with intent te give her all his thought and attention and te divorce him self from politics and politicians. The Pennsylvania maiden may be in fact a cunning seduction of Tammany, con trived te lure away their enemy from his revengeful following of their trial. Master of the Situation. .Senater Cameren has achieved a dis tinguished reputation for dogged obsti nacy, and he has earned it. It is a strong quality, and an invaluable ee in a poli tical leader. Courage te stand firm is a prime quality, and, with a moderate amount of sense and a plentiful supply of cash, will see nearly any political leader through te the achievement of his pur pose. The chances very much favor Senater Cameren's confirmed domination of Jiis party in this state. Ne one appears who is able te lead a successful resistance te him, bucked though such an effort would be by what seems te be the strong sentiment of the masses of the Republi can party in the state against the third term idea that the senator announces his determination te commit the conven tion te. It is singular that se pro nounced a sentiment among the people does net seem able te call out a cempe tent champion of it. It needs but a little sagacity, one would think, te induce some man of nerve te wrestle with the champion of Grant's nomination and no great skill or courage te defeat him, when the feeling in his party is against him. But it will require mere of both sense and courage than will be found in the Harrisburg convention te-morrow te defeat Senater Cameren's purpose, judg ing from present appearances. There will be a feeble howl from the opposition, as there generally is, but it will be only set up te be suppressed, and the whipped curs will fellow quietly along at the heel of the huntsman. They will be " unani mous'" in the hope of a bone, or m the ex pectation that they may find a chance te treacherously leap at the threat of their master under cover of the night. Taking Their Time. Our judges are taking their time te consider the motion taken te disbar us, and that is very right. "We de net grudge them any amount of time needed te en lighten their understanding and te en able them te consult the numerous au thorities in Mr. Shapley"s brief. They will find it quite exhaustive of the sub ject and a very great saving te tlnfm of time and labor in securing a mastery of it. "We hope they will enjoy the investi gation and find their minds in a fit state some day te give a righteous decision which will stand the lire of criticism. Beth judges must concur in the decisien: se that both need te inform themselves of the merits of the question. As it is a very grave one and their time is much occupied just new in court business we cannot demand tee speedy a decision ; but we want it at the very earliest con venient date, as it is simple justice te ourselves and te the bar that our challenged fitness te be members of the bar shall net long remain a dis puted point. "We say that justice te the bar requires this, because as we leek at the question it is rather one of " the fitness of the bar and the judges te associate with us than of ours te associate with them. As honest critics of official impropri eties we consider that no society is tee elevated te decline our association ; cer tainly it is net for these charged with such improprieties te remove from us the hem of their garments. It is manifestly im possible,for instance, te accord te Mcssnr. Eshleman and Brown, who fail te defend the wrongful conduct as attorneys with which Ave charge them, places in an honorable bar, from which we are ex cluded because we have declared their conduct disgraceful and called te ac count the judges who failed te investigate it ; unless it is shown that our allega tions are false. If the judges will direct an inquiry into the facts, and it shall be ascertained that our charges were mali cious and unfounded, we will let the rule be entered disbarring us without objec tion and without appeal. All reports from Harrisburg agree that Den Cameren declines te say what he will de with his convention te-morrow further than te say that having started te set the Grant ball in motion he is net the man te slacken in his undertaking. A loxe list of illustrious Republicans of Philadelphia publish an appeal te the Harrisburg convention te-day, protesting against its members committing their party in this state te the third term heresy. Toe late! Toe late! The Leas and MacVeaghs and Verree and and Henrys and Mitchells and Drowns may pretest and, appeal, but it is the Petreffs and Deuglasses and Davises and Huhns that make conventions and represent the great party of ' moral ideas."' Ock local delegation is off te the Har risburg convention accompanied by train ers and grooms who wear the Cameren livery ; and whatever judges, bankers and 'squires may think about the views of the Lancaster county Republicans en the presidency they will find that in the con vention te-morrow Hay Brown's little finger is heavier than J. W. Jehnsen's loins. Pity peer Passmore ! MINOR TOPICS. Will L. Maki'I.K, a St. Leuis artist, has applied for a divorce from his wife. One of his grievances is that she sent a broken frying pan te an art show, where some efhis pictures were en exhibition, with a request that the hanging committee would give it a position as "an example of the way in which the talented Mr. Marple provided for his family's necessities."' Static Sutt. Wiciceiisii.v.m publishes a letter written te State Treasurer Noyes telling him that as the law is mandatory requiring the state superintendent te draw the school warrants, he proposes te de se new whether there is money te meet them or net. He has refrained from obeying the ' mandatory law' heretofore because he did net want te see the warrants dis honored. Ber.

Tin: report of the commissioner of pat ents shows that during "18711 there were presented 20,059 applications for patents, and 12,72.1 patents were issued. The total receipts of the eiliee for the year were $703,931, total expenditures 321), G3S. The total balance te the credit of the pat ent eflice fund, en January 1, 1SS0. was $1,420,800. Tin: Alteena Sun thinks this sentiment transmitted by President Tilden te the 'Iren City Tilden club" of Pittsburgh, en the occasion of its first annual reception, should be "printed in letters of geld punctuated with diamonds'' : Obedience te the choice of the majority as expressed in the elections is the vital principle of self-government, without which its forms are a sham, representing only fraud or force. That is a rather fishy story new going the rounds te the effect that Den Cameren has made an arrangement with Blaine by which he agrees te deliver the Peunsylva Peunsylva delegatien ever te the latter in the event of his needing it te secure the nomination at Chicago. Den is for Grant, and he is net of the kind that make concessions even of the remotest character before they knew they are beaten. It may be counted as reasonably sine, anyhow, that Cameren prefers Sherman te Blaine as second choice, if he has allowed such a contingen cy te enter into his calculations at all. Cen. Reukiit P. Nrcvix's new two-cent morning daily in Pittsburgh has made its appearance, and the signs of the Time arc that it has conic te stay. It is about the size of the New Yerk Sun and has all the features of progressive modern journal ism. It proposes te be a newspaper in all that the term implies, and announces that its political course " following along no fixed lines of party, will be such as an hon est desire te pursue the right and shun the wrong en questions arising from day te day may determine." "Wherefore we infer that it will net be a Grant organ as as had been alleged in some quarters. Sir Edwin Landseei:, the gicat animal painter, was once looking at his own pic tures in the Seuth Kensington museum, and seeing some dust en one of them, leaned ever the barrier and wiped it off with his handkerchief. Instantly a police man en duty was upon him. "What arc you a-deiug of, " said the force, " a touch ing of that there picture?" " Why, " an swered Sir Edwin, smiling, " I've often touched it before. " "Have you, the''.'" cried the indignant peeler ; "then mere shame for ycr ! Yeu come along wi' me." And he walked off the unresisting painter te the officers of the museum, who, of course, recognized the culprit and con doned his offense. Camerons Big Contract. Philadelphia Kvcning Telegraph, Kep. It is perfectly clear that General Grant cannot be next president of the United States unless he be nominated, and unless the people vote for him. He possibly can be nominated; but by no earthly possibil ity can he be voted for by enough Repub licans te secure his election. In every close state, in all states where success dc. mauds the concentration of the vote en the candidate, he will be ruthlessly slaughtered by the Independents, the Libcrals,thc Con servatives, the anti-third termists. and the Germans. The states of Ohie, "Wisconsin, and New Yerk, with their enormous Gei man Republican populations, which ice must curry, or loose the presidency, cannot be curried for General Grant. Ouuy en nialne. Cel. Quay said te a Ilarrisburh Telegraph reiieiter yesterday that his contact with the delegates he has met in traveling through the state convinces him that the conven tion will declare ler Gen. Grant. "While there is in many quarters a genuine Blaine I sentiment,, ii. is manliest that mc solid thinkers an; predisposed towards the cx presidciil. They point te Blaine's com plication hi the Mulligan letters, his mis taken position en the Chinese question, and the animosity existing between him and Senater Colliding, as weaknesses which net even the party discipline will be able te obliterate. In addition, while the senator from Maine is cordially hated by the Southern Bourbons who control Congress, he is net feared, and consequently they would net hesitate te count him out in case of his election. PERSONAL. There is a report from Scranton that Samuel J. Tilden, of New Yerk, is te be married te Miss Fanny Rauch, of Lewis burg, Pa., this week. Of course it is bogus. The Princess Lerisi; arrived at Halifax, N. S., yesterday, and was received with military honors. Throngs of people en the wharves cheered heartily and Hags were displayed en many buildings. Richard Vess, the German poet and writer, is in Reme. He has a great ad miration for Bret Harte and has written some essays en his works. " He is a fine, rich nature," said Vess, enthusiastically, " a true, noble nature." Nicholas II. had an imperial way et meeting dangers ; he marched straight up te them. One day he heard that a market riot had broken out, and that the populace had risen against the inspectors and the "men in blue," or gens d' annex. The Czar jumped into his sleigh, drove straight te the scene of the conflict, harangued the rioters, and called upon the ringleaders te give themselves up. The ringleaders surrendered without a murmur, and were, probably, all transported, for the Czar was no sentimentalist, and showed little mag nanimity in dealing with rebels. On an ether occasion Nicholas heard that a pro fessor of the University of St. Petersburg was conspiring against his life, proof of this offence having been obtained through letters seized at the postefllce. The Czar wrapped himself in his furred cloak and set out en feet te call upon the professor, who almost swooned at the sight of him. "Shut the deer," said the emperor, quietly, as he walked in. " Tell mc who your accomplices arc and give me all your papers, or I shall have you knouted." On Thursday Queen Victeria will ride te and from "Westminster te open Parlia ment in person.

Her majesty will leave Bucking ham palace in state at 1J p. in., the first five dress carriages of the precession being each drawn by six bay horses, led by four grooms walking. These equipages will convey the great officers of state, and im mediately following will come a carriage drawn by six black steeds, containing Prince Leepold, the master of the Herse, and a lady-in-waiting. The horses of this equipage will also be led by walking grooms, and the coachman and footman will wear state liveries of scarlet and geld. The royal carriage will be the seventh and last in the cortege, and will be drawn by eight cream-colored horses, each led by a groom. The queen and Princess Beatrice and the mistress of the robes will occupy the state equipage, which closes the pro pre cession, the carriages being escorted by the Yeeman of the Guard and a detach ment of the Household Cavalry. The Kiglith Ward Democracy. Editors Daily Intelligencer : At the Democratic primary election held at the Green Cottage hotel, Eighth ward, en Saturday evening last, there was an un usual turnout, four hundred and ninety nine votes having been polled between the hours of 4 and 8 o'clock, and a mere quiet and orderly election was never known in the city of Lancaster. It is net true, as stated in the columns of the Xew Era, that cither the friends of Mr. Shay or Mr. Ilarman indulged in "drunken orgies,' or in any way mis behaved themselves. As at all elections of the kind there was a generous rivalry between the candidates and their adherents till the close of the polls, but when the result was announced, the customary con gratulations were exchanged and all re tired te their homes with a fixed determi nation te elect, by an overwhelming majority, the ticket of their choice. Such is the Democracy of the Eighth ward, and if the Heg Ringers and Bull Ringers of "G. A. R. Hall" had sense enough te profit by their example, they would have enough te occupy their attention without seeking te threw fire-brands into the ranks of a united party which has no use for them.

A writer in the Examiner, who signs himself "a listener " te the legal argument of Mr. Shapley en Friday, gives a quotation which he says "the learn ed gentleman from Philadelphia failed te quote," and adds : "I quote it for him, and our community may then begin te see that there are two sides te the question new engaging public attention. I quote from 3 Watts anil Sergeant, page 271. the opinion in which was delivered bv Judge IJod IJed gers. of Pennsylvania : 'In Austin and ethers (3 ttawlu l!ll) it is held that it i u breach orpro erpro orpre lessioual lidulity te attack-,' " etc. New the fact is Mr. Shapley devoted mere attention ia his argument te the opinion of Judge Gibsen in the Austin ease than te any ether point or citation, assuming at the outset of his remarks that it was one of the only two cases te rely en te justify its proposed action ; and hav ing finished his discussion of Gibsen's opinion in that case, he quoted the very case which "A Listener" didn't hear, and commented upon it as follews: "In McLaughlin's cae3 W. & S. 27it he court said, ' In Austin and ethers (.r Uawle Wl) it is held that it is a breach of professional iidclity te attack the proceeding" of the court, for itn pure ami improper purposes, through the me dium of the public prc.-s."

The minutes of last meeting weie cor rected se far as they stated the rainfall of November and December as reported by Mr. Engle the fall during the former month being 2 inches and the latter 2 11-10 inches. The rainfall for January was three inches. n Dr. Wm. Compten, city, anil Dr. C. A. Green, city, were elected members. S. P. Eby read a communication giving the dimensions of the large trees in Isaac Carpenter's farm, noticed in yesterday's Lntki.i.igbxcki:. Alse of a tree en the farm of Israel G. Erb, Penn township, which at the butt measures 2e feet in cir cumference, the extremities of the branches covering a circumference of 3!) yards. Casper lliller read a paper en "Flint growing in city lets.' He said that as a general rule the fruit grown in city lets is superior te that grown in the open coun try, especially in dry seasons. This was sufficiently demonstrated by the late fruit exhibition in this city. The superiorly was especially noticeable in pears and grapes. He accounted for this by the fact that this trees in the city lets are l..i.!n.l ...... .1... 1... ai... l...:i,l: l yi; .-.u..;iui iium i.ie nun uj ine uimuiiig:. ami "" fences, and the e:irt!i does net. ilrv net si . .. -"J " rapidly as in the country. They are also protected from the severe winter winds. These arc advantages which the country fruit grower cannot possess. Besides, the city-grown fruit is less liable te insect depredations than that grown in the country. In cultivating grapes he recom mended southern or eastern exposure, and said the vines should be trained ! orizon erizon orizen tally en upright trellises, en which cop ing may be used te protect the less hardy varieties. II. M. Engle endorsed Mr. Killers .state ment as te the superiority of city-grown fruit, and the reasons therefer; bethought however, that it might be possible te im prove country fruit by adopting measures te protect the trees from storms and dreuth. The trees cannot be protected by buildings as they are in cities but they may in a great measure lie protected by screens of evergreen which will act a& wind brakes, and shield them from storms. The ground may be be kept moist in het and dry weather, by a thorough mulching and artificial iriigatien. The fruit market cannot be supplied with city-grown fruit, the bulk of it must come from the coun try, and everything that can he done should be done te improve it. S. P. Eby, esq., said one cause of the superiority of city fruit is because the temperature in cities during severe weather is never quite se severe as in the open country. Ile thought, however, that peaches and some ether fruits could be better grown in the country than in town, lie had noticed that where there is tee much shade they de net ceme te such per fection, either in size, color or flavor as when they grew in open, sunny places. During veryWyweather the ground about the trees may be mulched or irrigated as Mr. Engle had said. Dr. Green said a prc-requibite for the production of geed fruit is te have in the soil the constituents of which the tree and its fruit is composed. If these constitu ents are net in the soil they may be placed there by artificial means. The doctor re ferred at some length te a recently dis covered mine in Schuylkill county, from which immense quantities of alum shale are being mined. When exposed te the air 30 or 00 days this decomposes, and analysis shows that it contains all the val uable constituents of stable and Auden ried manures. Anether matter of vast im portance te fruit growers was the best means of destroying insect pests. The doctor said he had experimented consid erably in this direction, and at the next meeting of the society would read a paper en the subject. Demestic Progress. ('. L. Ilunsccker read an es.-ay en " Do De mestic Progress." It was filled with val uable statistics, and ether matters of im portance, and will no doubt find its way into the agricultural journals. One of the leading objects of the essayist was te show that there is a great deal of " bosh" in what is said of " the geed old times," and that the progress which has marked the last half century and revolutionized old manners and customs, has been of incalcu lable bnucfit te the human family. A vote of thanks was extended Messrs. lliller and Hunsecker for their essays. " Dees the stock have any influence en the graft '.' was next discussed. In the absence of Jacob Stauffer, te whom the question had been referred, Calvin Cooper opened the debate by saying that there were two sides te the question. The stock will influence the size and habit of the tree, but the fruit will net be changed. This fact is seen in the propagation of dwarf pears ; though the tree is dwarfed the fruit is net. Mr. Engle said it is certain that the graft ' will influence the root mere than the root i will influence the graft. It has been no i ticed in grafted trees that the root assumes the form and general character of the tree from which the graft was taken. Mr. Engle said he had noticed that there was sometimes a difference in the llaver of the fruit of trees, the grafts of which had been cut from the same tree but grafted en different kinds of stocks. Casper lliller said there was no doubt that the fruit of a Duchess pear grafted en a quince stock would be liner than if grafted en a pear stock. He had once grafted a cherry of very line flavor en a bitter cherry stock, and the fruit was bet ter. This indicates that the stock had changed the character of the fruit. In answer te te a question. Mr. lliller stated that some branches had started from the stock below the graft and had grown and blossomed above the grafted limbs, and Eplu Hoever had grafted the water melon pear en a stock of choke jicar. The resulting fruit partook of both varieties. Its appearance was that of the water-t melon and its llaver of the choke pear. Dr. Green said trees were a geed ileal like men ; te be perfectly healthy they must contain a certain number of elements but they can go through life with some of these elements missing. These missing elements may account for the difference in size and llaver of fruits from different trees of the same variety. Mr. Cooper said he had eaten Seckel and Bartlett pears from the same root and stock, and quince and Seckel pears from the same stock and root. He is convinced that the leaf of the trce imparts mere of the flavor te the fruit than does the root. Agricultural Ksperts. Jehn II. Landis stated that he had been in correspondence with a number of agri cultural beards in different states with a view of interchanging annual reports from the beards of North Carolina and Vir ginia, which he presented te the society. A vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Lan dis. Peter S. Reist introduced te the society ex-Sheriff Adam Bare, the eldest ex-sheritl" and one of the eldest men in the state, being new 91 years of age. Knsiliigv. Jeseph F. Witmer, the president, read an essay en " Ensilage."' or the preserva tion of green fodder, by burying it in pits and covering it with earth. He described the French mode of thus preserving fod der, which had in some instances been kept sweet and green for mere than a year. The beard of managers was instructed te repeit at next meeting en the feasibility of holding county fair next fall. Adjourned. Arrested ler Stealing Iren. This morning Oflicers Pyle and Flick, by virtue of warrants issued by Justice Frank, of Columbia, and placed in their hands by Olliccr Brady, of the Pennsylva nia railroad detectives, arrested Paul Quig ley, Thus. Paden and Ellswerth Wilhud en a charge of the larceny of a quantity of iron, the property of the Pennsylvania railroad company. The men weie arrested at Paden's house, corner of James and Mulberry streets, taken te the lock-up and handed toOJlieer llnidy who took them te Columbia for a hearing before Ju.stice Frank. It is alleged that some el the stolen iron has been directly traced te Un accused and recovered, and that ether portions are hidden away. The rapid advance in the price of iron has made it quite an object with thieves te steal all they can lay their hands en. Great complaint is made by railroad men. rolling mills and furnaces of depredations in this line. It is said that thieves will beard freight cars leaded with pig iron, threw off the pigs, and then go hack and gather them up and sell them te the junk shops. New iron has been found in some of these shops with the Pennsylvania railroad marks upon it. Rolling mills and ether iron works often buy old iron that has been stolen from their own premises. ihjunkkn ani iisui:i::bi.y ceNDcrr. A Gang of Loungers Arrested nt tlm Print Iren Works.
