The Silent Journal Speaks.
The Examiner gives a half column of
its space te a correspondent te exclaim
bitterly against the Xew Era editer-bc-cause
he published the vote of the grand
jury en the Tripple indictments and ac
knowledged that lid had gene " te some
trouble te get it." The coirespendent
declares that the grand juror who dis
closed his vote deliberately committed
perjifry, and that the editor who went
' te some trouble "te get him te de it
is equally guilty in the eye3 of the law
because " the punishment of an accessory
is the same punishment that is meted
out te a princip.il."' Wc greatly fear
that tliis. critic is net a disinterested ob
server of the Xrw Era editor's course.
He manifests his feeling .somewhat im
prudently. In fact it is apparent enough
that the Examiner editor is himself
masquerading as it.s cei respondent. As
he was en the grand jury he may have
special means of knowing that none of
the eleven members who voted with him
were se indiscreet as te acquaint the Xev:
Era editor with t lie slate of the vote,
but that "among these voting in
favor of a true bill against Tripple
theie was at least one scoundrel ba-e
enough, in utter disregard of his oath, te
disclose the proceedings of the grand in
quest te the immaculate editor."' We
admit that it is net at all likely that any
of the twelve jurjnien, who voted te ig ig
neie the bill, would be de-irons that their
names should go out te the people se re
corded, and that the leaky juryman was
prebab.y one of the minority, who was
restive under the i-eveie censuie visited
upon the grand juiy for its action and
who was net anxious te bear the lead of
bis bretln en's sins. Still, tiie emphasis
with which Air. Williamson declares
that none el the twelve, who may haw
been guiity of peijiuy in tefusing te in
dict the Tiipples, weie also guilty of
peijury in violating their oaths te con
ceal the grand jury's counsel, seems te
show that he had peculiar means of
knowing that the information did net
City councilmen whe.aie willing te
pay for gas that the city does net get
may be men of a liberal order of mind,
but it is net a liberality that is likely te
recommend them te the voters, tmd they
need net be surprised if they find some
trouble at the approaching election in
persuading their fellow citizens that they
ought te be le-elected. Nothing seems
plainer than that it is wrong for the gas
cenipam te'demand, auditor the city te
paj', for furnishing gas te lamps that
have net been lighted for months. This
fact is net denied ; and yet the gas is
paid for. Xe reason is assigned for the
payment. It is simply. a donation te the
company. The amount involved may
net be large, but councilmen who are
willing te pay a dollar that has net been
earned are net te be trusted te lefuse te
pay many dollars with as little reason.
We invite the citizens te consider
whether they should net vote against
every man who voted te pay the gas
company's bill.

The opponents of the Republican ring
in Philadelphia aie te be united in the
appieaching municipal election in the
suppeit of one ticket ; and with the
formidable iinpie.ssien made upon public
sentiment theie against the present man
agement of the City, there is little room
te doubt that the effort te change it will
succeed. The Republican vole that will
be given ter the change will mere than
balance the Democratic vote that Stok
ley will doubtless poll again, as he has
done in the past. Tiie clement
in the Democratic paity which has here
tofore sustained him is such that it will
be very beneficial te the party te be freed

police feiceaiud a guarantee that the ole
will be counted as it is ee t at the elections
in Philadelphia, is all that the party in
state needs the paity in the city te have.
We are tired of leing voted down by the
mauufactuied returns of Philadelphia,
wiiere mere than once a heavy majority
se secuied has lest us the state. If
the ring bosses are overthrown
there we can take care of them
elsewhere. Their present strug
gle for existence, in the senatorial con
test in the Legislature, shows their weak
ness in the state, controlling it.s two great
cities, they are jet paralyzed in their
effort te sustain themselves. The signs
of the times plainly show that their
power is gene. The defeat of Oliver

" The undersigned, citizens of Pennsyl
vania, aie fully convinced that neither the
Hen. Galusha A. Grew nor Air. Henry W.
Oliver, jr., can be elected te the United
States Senate by the Legislature of Penn
ylvania without Dcmeciatiu votes, and
be'ievmg that the senator from Pennsyl
vania should be chosen by Republican
votes, new urge upon the honorable mem
bers of the Senate and Heuse of Reiuc
scntatives of Pennsylvania, that they
should at once end the present content by
the election of the Hen. Jehn Welsh."
Nobody seemed either enthused or sur
prised by this significant suggestion and
Senater Cooper was about te renew a mo
tion te adjoin n when Senater Geiden ob
tained the fleer. His point of order was
that the petition was obnoxious te a Iaige
number of the membeis of the convention
and could net be received, inasmuch as it
simply appealed te one section of the bsdv
composed of the Republican members and
was net addressed te the convention as a
body. The chair would doubtless have
been compelled te decide the point of order
well taken had it been raised at the. nienm-
time, but the subject had had already been
pas-ed upon and was net at that time be
fore the convention. A motion te adjourn
cut off all debate.
When the petition praying for the selec
tion of Jehn Welsh as senator had been
lead, the National Greenback Laber paity
which gees under that name rose and said
with the gieatest gravity. "I rise te thank
my friends for the unexpected honor"
he was. allowed te go no faither. The

Last night the air was heavy with ru ru
nieis in legard te the senatership. Few of
them, however, could be traced te a lclia

But whether he favors any of the compro

ceiiiindium which has net yet been
sehed. Varied significance is taken fiem
the changes in the vote estcrday. The
Oliver men aie rather pleased that their

Tlie Ureat Knrulii-Darby Question.
Te the editor of the Sun. Sir: Dur
ing the winter of 1803, while seated in the
office of the Confederate Quaitcrmaster
General Lawten, a. gentleman walked in
and asked for a letter held theie for Air.
Darby. This inquiry was made te the
geneial himself, who stictehed out his
arm for a package of letteis en his desk,
looked quickly ever them, and replied in
the negative. The visitor remaikcdthat
he was suie there much be one addressed
te him, and, en Gen. Lawten's again con
sulting the package, looked ever his
shoulder and suddenly exclaimed, " There
I knew I was right !"
"That letter is addiessed te Air. En
raughty," said the general, rather puz
zled. "That's the way wc spell it," eaielessly
answeicd the satisfied man, as he left the
room with his property.
Gen. Lawten's mind wandered appaient
ly from the business in hand after this, and
I was despairing of attaining satisfactory
icsults, when another applicant enteicd.
and befeie he had time te open his mouth,
the general, without introduction or ex
planatien, accosted him suddenly with
"Hew the devil can a man make En
raughty Dai by, or Dai by Eniaughtv ?"
The visitor laughed. "Well," he said,
"manyycais age there was a law firm
hcie termed Enraughty fc Darby. Air.
Darby was the mere pieminentand ablest
member of the firm ; consequently cveiy
client wished te consult with Air." Daiby.
Se, when he was net present, Enraughty
naturally took his place, and te strangers
became Air. Darby. Then his son giew up
iu the office and became young Dai by,
and when the strip of gieund belonging
te the Enraughty cstate was appiepriated
by the city el' Richmond, it became the
Darbytown read and was used a gicat

New Yeuk Hetel, Feb. 3.
Te the editor of the Sun Sir : I think
the cenunduiin piopesed in the Sun in
legaid te the pioiiunciatieu of the name
Eniaght can be solved thus : In old times
it was quite common for families te have
an alias, this usually being the name of
the place fiem which they came. The
Enraghts were probably called Enraght,
alias Dai by. The Darby has stuck te them
while they continue te write their names
Enraght. Similar instances of iiemencla
tuic have been discevcicd by Air. J. P.
Cellier, Halliwcll and ethers iu seaiching
old pari.sh iegistcrs.
Will you allow me also te say that Wol Wel Wol
veihanipten, near which placj I lived for
many years, is pronounced as written, and
net Wolvciten, which is quite a dilleicnt
place, and that Rafeisthc diminutive of
Ralph, and net the pronunciation of that
word.
Among ether instances of English anti
phonetic absurdities aie Bcauchamp, pro
nounced Beecham ; Ponseiiby, pronounced
Punsenby ; Belvoir, pronounced Bevur ;
Beaulieu, Bewlv; and Cavendish, Can

as fellows :
The Church of the United Bretlnen in
Christ, in West .Alarietta, has been the
scene of the gieatest revival that has ever
takcu place in this community. Up te this
writing upwards of fifty persons have been
soundly converted ami ten arc at present
at the altar seeking, and many mere are
deeply convicted, se that, judging from
present appearances, it is safe te sav the
geed weik will continue until all the un un
ODnvertcdef this immediate viciuity aie
brought into the fold of Ged. The icvival
services weie commenced en the 27th of
November, 1SS0, and continued legulariy
every evening for six weeks under the
leadership of the Rev. J. AI.
Lesher, of the U. B. church, at
present stationed at "M.r.l.-.vi. P.
and during that time twenty-seven were
converted. Then the spirit of the meet
ing seeming te lag somewhat 3Ir. Lcshcr
thought it best te close the seivice, which
he did en the Sth of January last. But
at the end of two weeks the spirit of
conviction sccmcil te spring up stronger
than before, and Air. Lesher determined
x. j reopen the services, which he did en the
22d of Janmry, under the leadei.shipef
the Rev. Christopher Alillcr. of Aliddle
twn, a local pieaeheref theU.B. chinch ;
he (.Mr. Leshei) having in the meantime
opened icvival services in his church at
AIiddlctwu. Since the recommencement
et- tiie sei vices here about twentv
five uioie have been eenveited, atid
the altar is still crowded with
seckeis. The highest number at
the altar, en any evening was en Friday
evening last, January 2Sth, at which time
theie weie eighteen at the altar. This
church or chapel was built in the year 1S71
by the Methodist Episcopal chinch of
Marietta, aud that denomination held ser
vices only once in a while, but S.rulay
school legulariy until the latter put of
the year 1878 when it was closed up en
tirely, except twice or three times that the
River Bretlnen held services in it dining
the winter of 1878. Late in the spine- of
1S70 the Rev. J. W. Geigcr, of the M. " B.
chinch of Marietta, held services qn te a
long time iu fact ncaily te the end of t!w
J ear 187!) en Wednesday evenimr of
each week, and frequently by children.,
meeting en Sunday. " But p.-eplc
net seeming te appreciate hi.
cflbits te de tnem geed, he at length
ccacd iii-scilerts almost entirely, p.utly
en account of a lack of interest and real
en the paifc of the people, and irtly en ac
count of a pi ess of labor in" liis'iegular
charge, he having, besides the chapel, two
churches, viz., Marietta and Maviewn.
Thue in itters remained, until June, lb'Sil,
when the Rev. J. AI. Lesher, pissing
through this place and making inquiries
in icg..id te the chapel, and also the com
munity, learned sufficient te satisfy him,
that there was an opening hcie for a gicat
work, and at once proceeded te make ar
rangements te held service hcie. Which
ai-rangcments he carried into effect at once
by having services every two weeks, en
Saturday evening and Sunday meining, 10
tinning by train te Middletewu and filling
his appointment thcic in the after neon
aud evening. In this way he kept matteis
moving until the 27th of November last
when, as ahcady stated, he opened revival
services, the foundation for which he laid
by visiting the people at their homes, and
talking te and praying for them ; the ic
sult of which was, as might reasonably
be expected, the sound conversion of
nearly all the unconverted ; and that these
people may be steadfast in their new life
and labor earnestly and diligently in the
vincyaidef the Alaster until lie shall re

Ita-tlnc l'ast and Present.
A vaitted friend and concspendent, of
the Cambria Fi eeman who followed the
business of rafting ncaily all his life, and
is therefore in a condition te knew whereof
he affirms, sends te it the subjoined facts
and statistics concerning the lumber trade
at the head-waters of the Susquehanda.
Thay net only prove of h.teicst te lumber
man, but te the general public as well.
"Thirty-live yearage,rafting en the Sus
quehanna was net se remunerative as at
present. Geed pine timber was then
taken te market (Marietta. Lancaster Ce.,
Pa.,) and sold for from two and one-half
te three cents per cubic feet, Edwaid
King sold the fust raft that ever brought
five cents wheic ifc was put iu, i. i one
mile below Chcrrytie-e. It was sold at
Maiictta for nine cents per cubic feet, and
it was considered a geed investment, the
expense of getting it te market being
about two and ouc-feuith cents per feet.
The same quality of timber at present
would bring ten cents per cubic feet ; the
cost of putting it te maikct would be
about four cents per feet, and when tl.cre
it would find a icady sale at hour eighteen
t' twenty cent par feit. Such timber
is getting very scarce and these who have
it are content te let it stand, as the invest
ment is better than government bends. In
the spring season of 1SIJ1 there weie :J,i500
rafts of all kinds en the Susquehanna and
its tributaries. Theio never has been se
many since, as many of the parties who
used te run snuaie lumber have turned
their attention te floating their timber in
round legs. This plan costs less and is
meic sine of getting the stuff te market,
as an that is needed te be done is te get
the legs te the water, when, if it is in
geed condition, many of them will reach
market en the feuith day, if net sooner,
while seven days is a quick trip with a
raft. We estimate the round legs tiiis .-ei-sen
at about 200,000,000 feet, beard meas
ttie; the square lumber at ene thousand
rafts, averaging about seven thousand
cubic feet each, which is a high eneu-dr
average. Lhe best tract of pine timber
m the upper end et Cleat field county com
prises nineteen thousand marketable tree--.
All ether tracts in the ncighboriieod will
net aggicgate five times that amount.
Then, where is the man who owns a mil
lion'.' Air. Aaieu P.itciiin is certainly the
heaviest owner, and if he lias a million
marketable pine trees (as has been Mated),
he i weith. at a low estimate, net less
than four million of dellais."

D. G. Baker, esq., from the superin
tend!!..: committee, presented the follow
ing report :
Gestlevii-x : I herewith submit te you
my lepert en the organization of the
schools iu the new budding en James
street. Iu the suggestions and recommen
dations contained it it regard was had net
only te the practice of the past, but also te
the improvement of the present, and the
wants of the futtue, te the convenience of
the people, the progress of the pupils, and
the fitness and convenience of the teachers.
Wc are new about te largely increase the
number of schools en the single room plan.
Twe such schools are already in existence
en Shennan street, and these in both el
the new buildings are te be such also. Net
believing in change for rts own sak I
would lecenrmend that two looms be eccu.
pied by primary schools eiganized en the
same plan as these en Sherman stieet; but
with a view te accomnredato the people re
siding in the immediate vicinity, I would
also leeemmcnd that the ether two rooms
be occupied by secondary schools se graded
and organized that pupils may be transit-neii
Iren, the hig.rergr-ade secondary im
mediate! te tin high school. Each school
will receive pupils of both sexes. This
would alibi d school facilities for the
joungcrpupilsneaterheme ; avoid the fre
quent change en the part of pupils from
one teacher te another, while progress will
be accelerated, and the school be complete
iu itself.
The new school district should have for
its limits Walnut sheet en the south,
Ner I h Queen street en the East, and the
city limits en the north and west. These
boundaries would cei respond en the south
and cast with these of the Ninth ward.
These lCsidingeist of Neith Queen street
and north of Walnut will find Lemen
stieet net tee distant.
Pupils of primary grades and these el
classes C, I), E and F, secondary, attend
ing any of the public schools residing
within these limits, will be transferred te
the new building, while these of classes A
and B, secondary, will be allowed te con
tinue iu the schools they irew attend until
transferred te the high schools. The pupils
of the A and B classes, primary, would
constitute the lower grade secondary and
these of the C aud D classes the higher
grade primary. Te these mentioned
above etheis who have net attended
school heretofore because of the distance,
would no doubt be added. I would suggest
the names of the following teachers for ap
pointments in the new school building:
Fer the hrjrhcr irradc secondary. Aliss
Emma Powers; for the lower grade Aliss
Emma L. Downey; for the higher grade
primary. Aliss AI. AI. Aliissclniau ; for the
lower. Aliss Alice Alarshall ; also that Aliss
Matilda Zug take the place of Aliss
Downey, Aliss Ilantch that of Aliss
Pewci:;; that .Miss Suydanr be promoted
te the position vacated by Aliss AI. Zug,
and Aliss I)avi"s be transferred te Aliss
Suydam's place. The pupils bclong bcleng
inir te Aliss Hrntch's school should
be admitted te Miss Brubakcr's and
te Mes-is. Levergood and Gates's schools.
Oncel the buildings en Chestnut street,
which would be vacated, should he imme
diately converted into a secondary school
building en the single room plan, te be oc
cupied by the school in charge of Air. Lev
el geed.
