The editor of the Philadelphia Time is new sibilantly assailing the General Assembly for its action in the Dukes case. The Times get itself into such a full swing of curse words in its raving ever Dukes, that it seems quite unable te check up when Duke3 is disposed of, but finds it necessary te switch off en some ether object of anathema, and the very respectable General Assembly is the unfortunate victim. It is net neces sary te suppose, under this explanation of the frothing of the Times, that its editor's brain is softening ; we adept it te save that conclusion, which would otherwise b8 needed te explain its decla decla tientuat the Assembly, in declaring Dukes' seat vacant because he refused te take it, made a record that was "sinu "sinu eus,evasive and substantially untruth ful." Fer if that is net arrant nonsense we are net judges of the article. The constitution forfeits the office of any one who refuses te take theerdh ; and without this constitutional for feiture, it would be plainly in herent in the power of the Assembly te vacate a seat which is declined by one who was elected te it. If this power is net inherent in a Legislature it would be difficult te find one that is. If an elected member may decline te qual ify as a member and thus give the body the power te control his attendance, the Legislature might be paralyzed by the refusal of a sufficient uumber-te take the oath, unless it had the power te vacate their seats and order new elections. But the distress of the Times seems te be that the General Assembly vacated Dukes' seat upon constitutieu.il author ity and well established precedent:, and did net strike out for itself into a fresh field and establish a new precedent in a case which was non-political and, ti ere fore, invited a non-part i.vi judgment. The brilliant idea of the 'Hunt is that " general infamy " should have been written down as a cause for vacating a seat, said " general infamy "' having b2eu developed subsequent te the elec tion and prier te the assembling of the Legislature. The very beautiful case which the Times complains that the Leg islature had en hand te make this law, and foolishly threw away, was that of a young lawyer, who had borne up te the time of his election te the Legisla ture an irreproachable character, and who enjoyed universal esteem in his community. Then he lest his geed name in a"day through the publication, by the friends of a wetnau he had injuied, of a brutal letter he had written te her father. General infamy, as the Times says, de scended upon him. The members of the Assembly te winch he was elected de sired te avoid association with him. But, strange as it may seem, he had been guilty et no crime that tiie law lock ceznizance of. Ilu had been tried for murder and had been acquitted. The Legislature could net lay that crime against him. There was no effort made te convict him of seduction, or te held j him for any ether crime. The beastli ness of his letter steed as the ground of his infamy and made him obnoxious te a fierce public sentiment. The precedent which the Times urges that the L-gisl.i ture should have hastened te make was that beastly letters and acts, which the law does net take cognizance of, should be made a cause for vacating legislative seats. It would be a dangerous piece dent te put membership in the Legis lature at the hazard of the interprcta tien of " general infamy" by these who might have the power te punish for it, in periods of excitements, religious, political or social. Let the Legislature define, in time.-: of calmness what offenses shall make of fenders ineligible te its seats ; and kt it, by all means, provide that a man net be made infamous in the public judgment without falling uuder the harie.t of the law. The most painful thing in ins Dukes case is that Dukes should ' w fallen under such general public e.n,ra tien without being held gailly of any offense by the law. The libelous wuds and the acts of seduction, of which he is.held te be guilty, he i3 net legally called te account for, and the law seems te suffer the reproach of being uuab'e te lay its hands upon one se foul that he is shunned as a leper. "We de net believe the law is thus ineffective ; but if it is, the Legislature should see te it that it is amended. If Dukes is as cvii a man as the members of the Legislature s!: r.v that they held him te be, by their efforts te free themselves from him, may they net properly inquire why he is net in jail nor in danger et it 'i In a Had Hay. The desperate straits of the Uepubli can party are illustrated by the scramble for the shoes of the man who died in the office of postmaster general. Prank Hatten wants them because his friends think he is the kind of a man that Ar thur delights te honor. Ckandkr is against him, because lie is a Stalwart and Chandler thinks Kassen in the cab inet would be better for Blaine. Mic.uv ber Robeson wants the place, because he is waiting for anything that will Hum up and thinks his character would he rehabilitated by a cabinet place. Maik Dunnell, of Minnesota, wants it en gen eral principles and the Connecticut pee pie have a postmaster in New Haven whom they consider the peg for the hole. The Ohie people, never backward in coming forward, are pressing Charles Fester and there are probably a dozen perspiring patriots en the way te claim it. Meanwhile, the editor of the Prcvw, general custodian of the party's most sacred interests,has gene down te Wash ingten te. sec hew the administration baars itself in the present dilemma which has directed attention te it. He finds the president has alienated both factions of his party because he blows neither het nor cold ; and that his quondam friend Conkling says : ' I have but one annoyance in conuectien with this administration, and that is that in contrast with it the administra tion of Hayes becomes respectable, if net heroic." ""Weakness and inde cision " en all crucial questions charac terize the executive; while his cabinet is a collection of antiquated fossils who exercise a paralyzing influence en his aforetime " robust manliness." Unless " live, vigorous Republican leaders " like Bill Chandler, whom Editor Smith thinks the only man of political sense there new are brought into the cabinet, the administration will drift upon the rocks and take its party with it. The editor of the Press finds that Pres ident Arthur, after trying last year in New Yerk and Pennsylvania te fix things up te suit Republican Stalwarts and coming out badly shorn, has con cluded te leave the rearing factions of the country, of all kinds and descrip tions, te wrangle with each ether while he enjoys the presidential dignity and dinners, with unruffled temper. The country politicians may bark and bite, for it is their nature te, but Mr. Ar thur's nature inclines him te ease and eating and he does net propose te spoil his enjoyment and digestion with worry ing ever the state of the country and the waning fortunes of his political friends, whom he can't save anyway. One trial has satisfied him. The Jfress editerfinds that Arthur's glory is his beauty and his dinners ; and that upon these he con. tentedly bases his hope of fame and his realisatien of pleasure. Wasting Time. The Heuse at Harrisburg yesterday spent a geed deal of time ever a bill te make eight hours a legal day's work and, of course, for the protection of werkiugmen as well as employers, amended it se as te provide for the in operation of the law in cases of " special contract." Then it went en te except one class of workmen after another from its previsions until the measure was emasculated of any application te lum berers, persons employed at oil wells, glassworks, steel works and maritime occupations, and pending further amendments the Heuse adjourned. It will doubtless go further and make many mere exceptions, as obvious ly most of the occupations which men fellow in this state require longer atten tion than eight hours, while ethers, no tably the great industry of farming, vary widely in their requirements from diy te day, and from season te season. Bi't it matters little what particular excep tions are made in the bill if the general saving clause in behalf of private con tracts is left, as that will enable any employer and any workmen te contract for such time of work as the contract ing parties see fit. And, this being the case, what felly it is for Legislatures te waste time discussing such bills as this V Men will work long time or short, they will work themselves te death or be idle, according te their in clinations and circumstances, and what ever laws are passed te regulate them will be evaded by the exercise of the constitutional right of private contract. It is the waste of time ever such matters as this that brings the Legislature into disrepute. Tuk threats te galvanize Charles Fester of Ohie into postmaster general originate in the desire of some of the statesmen of that overcrowded commonwealth te get him out of the way. In Italy Meuut Etna is growling at the peeple ; here t'e people are growling at the weather. It leeks as if Etna aud the weather are both going te ccme out ahead. Ax appalling slate of misery is reported from Alexandria, Egypt, traceable alto gether te English rule and the bombard ment of the city during the recent diffi culty between the two countries. There is no progress in business, the fcllaheens, or peasants, are without funds te purchase fuel aud feed and pay their taxes, and this distracting state of affairs is all the Euglibh government hasained by its war like demonstrations and wanton in. fiielieu of buffering upon an almost de fenseless people. "Oun Continent," the literary weekly, published iu Philadelphia, and of which Judge Teurgce is the inspiring genius, is making rapid advances iu all that merits for it permanent popularity and material prosperity. It is well edited, its illustra tions are highly artistic, its contributors wear names that take geed rank in literary circles, and its general editorial tone is vigorous aud spicy. It is in all respects such a periodical as should make fair test of the experiment te sustain a first-class weekly illustrated publication. A iiecent writer takes occasion te make some sensible reflections upon the con tinued and marked less of propriety and foice in the English language. The gradual giewth of affectation iu thouse of language is one great cause of this, aud when the plaiu yeoman who, at ene time would have said it cost him a deal of inouey te build a house, new tells us that he has " expeuded a considerable sum in erecting a residence," he is only speaking from a cue taken from the lips of these who might be expected te knew hew te speak sensibly and correctly. In Syracuse, N. Y., the discovery of the desecration of a grave led te some sensa tional disclosures. Edwin "Harmen, a prominent citizen, died, aud his widow, whose sister's body had been stolen some years age, was nervous about the matter and placed a private mark en her hus band's grave. A ceuple of days after it was found te be disturbed, the grave was opened and the body had disappeared. The authorities examined the dissecting rooms of the university, and en the third fleer the body was discovered packed in a trunk. The officials of the cellege dis claim all knowledge of the body in the building, aud the remains have been re utcrred. A WEiitD tale comes from Washington te the effect that the White nouse is haunted, and that supernatural sights are net unfrequently witnessed in the largcold-fashienod rooms and airy halls. It is net clay who this perturbed personage is whose caueuized bones have burst their cerements, bat he may be pretty well rel.ei en as a respectableghest who dot ires te keep up the proverbial appearanca of uncanny visitors, since he "is an aged and bent back man, with long, phosphorescent white beard and hair, ghastly and wavy, bright and glaring eyes and long, scrawny fingers. His walk is noiseless but stately, and his presence is always indicated by a peculiar electric sensation which p'revades the surrounding air." The president, however, appears te be rather unfavorably interested in this goblin of questionable shape and spends much of his time per ambulating about the rooms during the midnight hours, when ghosts are supposed te be around. The placidity with which a great part of the suicides of the present day are cen: 2 mitted is a consideration which naturally occasions much surprise and possesses a peculiar significance. A convict has hung himself in his cell, with his feet resting upon the fleer and effecting a slew stran gulation by pressing his threat upon a linen noose. Anether man in a restaurant said te the waiting girl, ' ' you may bring me a cup of tea," and as she left the room he stepped up te a mirror and coolly drew a razor across his threat, severing his jugular veiu. The justification for self murder doubtless finds strong argument in the reasoning of the suicide, as he views the deed, but the calm determination with which he meets death, as in the instances noted, seems net in unison with the work ings of nature, since actions wherein life and death are concerned would appear te be accompanied by an emotion proportion ate iu intensity te the seriousness of them. It must, indeed, be a light hallucination under which these collected suicides labor that they can meet death by their own hands with such stoic indifference, or else it is an extremely pewerful will which can overcome all inclination te reason in oppe sitien te the committal of the deed. The frenzied individual who rushes te death with violence and precipitancy partly ex plains his incitement te suicide, but in the apparent careful consideration of conse quences and minuteness of preparation for self-destruction se frequently displayed there is a mysterious element of induce ment that it may be argued is created either in an even or an unbalanced intel lect, and then the conclusion must remain only a matter of opinion or a net very tenable belie. FEATURES OF THE STATE PRESS. The Yerk Aye dips into poetry te ob serve that tL- world is growing better. The Pittsburgh Telegraph deprecates any lawless proceedings against Dukes. The Eadle Keatah Teh is hopeful that day is breaking even en the Indian. The Fulton Democrat scornfully icfers te Rhede Island as a watermelon and clam patch. The Heading Herald feiesecs the time when tell gates will begin te be shaking ea their hinges and finally drop off. The Reading Herald ascribes the pre valence of dyspepsia te hasty cathig and pie. Te oblige many anxious readci.s the Carlisle Sentinel pensively inquire: when, and for what purpose, was the largest body of men ever gathered together '.' The Mt. Jey Star is positive that colds yield te onions like magic, but when it comes te 'he conundrum, " where i3 yes terday," it eaiks a little. The Yeifc Daily is melancholy ever the reflection that the magnitude te which the interests of cattle raising have grown iu the far West and Southwest is net fully appreciated here. The JFeravian makes notable contrast of Secretary Frelinghuysen's gift of a set of works by British authors te the bride of ex Senater Davis with Arthur's present of a punch bowl. The Reading Neics calls upon the shades of Thad. Stevens te leek down upon the constitution, an instrument that has been the football of every Republican Congress and Legislature since 1SG1. The Wilkesbarre Union Leader is dis gusted at the press reports of haugiugs aud thiuks they operate upon some minds in a way that is apt te apotheosize the crime of murder and make it the sure read of winning heaven and a crown of glory. The Pittsburgh Pest unreservedly ap proves of the commission of Mis. Helen Hunt Jacksen te iustitute inquiries and report relative te the condition of the bauds of mission Indians iu Ualifernia, who are a legacy from Spain. The Chambersburg Valley Spirit dees net feel lonesome iu its position en the Dukes case since it finds itself in accord with the Lancaster Intelligence the Harrisburg Patriot and the Pettsvillc Chronicle. The Philadelphia North American rubs its sleepy eyes and, regardless of law or facts, declares the release of Conkling te have been " a disgraceful surrender te a sentimental and unreasoning clamor, and moreevor, a flagrant abuse of magisterial authority." In the estimation of the radical Phila delphia Ecening News Ben Butler is one of the most remarkable characters of our day, and considering the prevailing medi medi iecrity among public men he is a refresh ing object of contemplation, with al! his flaws. The Harrisburg Independent wants voters who call themselves by its name te make the offices seek the men, hunt down the office hunter without legard te his position ; strike him wherever he intiudcs himself aud scratch them off tickets and discard them in convention. It is plain te the Carlisle Volunteer that theie ought te be a change in the method of cheesing presidential electors, congress men aud members of the Legislature se as te provide for minority representation ; and it wants a citizens' convention en this subject this summer. Elder "Weishampcrs Torch of Truth points out thuh in Gov. Pattison's refusal te be called " His Excolleucy" the editor of the Church Advocate has a geed example te fellow in refusing te have the affix "Docter of Divinity " put te his name, as it is an anti-Church of Ged affix.

Charles Tilghman persuaded his wife, who had lived at the almshouse, te leave the institution and accompany him, saying they would keep heuse again. They were noticed walking along the different coun try reads, and appeared te be entirely friendly, when near the farm heuse of Benjamin Rehn, Thursday morning, the man suddenly threw his wife te the ground and cut her threat nearly from car te ear. He then fled across the fields toward the Lehigh river. The woman, still alive, was cared for by Mr. Rehn's family until afternoon, when she was taken te the almshouse. The doctors say she cannot possibly live. Her wind pi no was severed by the knife. She was questioned by the attendants, and, though trying te speak, could net make herself understood mere than te say she knew et no reason for the act. i armers aud detectives are new en Tilghman's tracks.

' THE FULTON BAM. A VKRV HANDSufllrJ NEW BUILDING. Keaay for "Tne First." Its Nevel Architec ture A Splendid Roem for Vaslnesa A Description et It. The new banking house of the Fulton National bank,Ne. 11 North Queen street, is se nearly finished that the officers ex pect te lemeve the effects into it -this evening and be ready te transact business therein te morrow. The building was erected expressly for a banking house, and is one of the most substantial, convenient and best appointed banks in the state. It was designed by Fred'k Dinkelberg, architect, and erected by Philip Dinkelberg, carpenter and builder, under the supervision of the building committee, Messrs. Jehn R. Bit ner, Lewis S. Hartman, and Jehn' L. Miller. The style of architecture is known as the Romanesque. The front elevation has the appearance of a two-story build ing. Four massive pillars of highly polished Quincy granite, with an entabla ture of hnely cut, but unpolished granite, support the front wall, which is of terra cotta tiles and Lancaster pressed brick. Above the front entrance te the banking room is the name of the institution, " Fclten National Baku," in large letters meulded iu red tiles. There are three second-story windows with arched tops, and spanning the three windows is a massive arch of red tiles, reaching almost te the cornice, the interior of the arch baing filled iu with light olered tiles, giving the front a unique and attractive appearance. All the front windows are filled with the finest plate glass set in solid oak frames. The front doers leading into the banking room are of solid oak, with handsomely carved meuldings, and inside the doers is a handseme vestibule of solid oak and plate glass, with doers right and left leading iute the bank. By this arrangement of the doers the currents of air caused by the opening of doers in cold or windy weather are avoided. The banking room is 24 feet, 4 inches in width, 70 feet in length and 32 feet in height from fleer te ceiling. The ceiling is an elliptic arch, and is pierced by a skylight 15 feet long and 7 feet wide and filled with heavy frosted glass. The walls and ceiling are finished in grey sand mortar. The ground fleer of the bank rests en two heavy brick arches, springing from the cellar That part of the fleer within the counters is of yellow pine ; the part eutside the counters, intended for the use of the public, is of tiles of white and blne marble. As stated above, the banking house externally leeks like a two-story building, hut internally it is only ene story, the lefty ceiling rising te the height of two lull stories. At either end of the bankiug room just below tbe second range of windows are galleries of solid oak, which add much te the appearance of the room. The galleries are protected by ornamental iron railing. The front counters for the use of the receiving and paying tellers are placed about twenty feet back from the entrance te the bank and are about fourteen feet in width. The ceuntsrs of the ether clerks are at right angles with these, and extend hack te tha vault. All the counters are of oak a id are enclosed within heavy oak railing protected by woven wire screen?, with wickets through which the clerks transact business with the eutside world. Within the enclosure, near the vault, is the president's room, a cesy little apart meat of ornamental oak and plate glass. The vault is of hard brick, the walls being nearly two feet thick. It is provided with fire aud burglar proof doers from the Cor liss safe manufactory, Providence, II. I. Within the vault are three of the Corliss spherical safes, two of them fitted up with small boxes for safety depositors, and the ether for the use of the bank. Se invul nerable are the safes te the attacks of burglars that the manufacturers offer te place $5,000 in ene of them and 'subject it te attUck by any reputable locksmith or safe manufacturer, and if within CG hours he can cither break it or open it he shall have the $3,000 iu3ide and $1,000 mere for his trouble. The vault is entirely flre proof, and as it stands in the middle of the room, the officers aud watchman can walk all around it te sec that it is net tampered with, if anyone should, be fool hardy enough te make the attempt. In rear of the vault is a small room intended for the use of private depositors, where they may conveniently Ceuut their money, write checks, make calculations, &e. In rear of this is the directors' room, which will be comfortably fitted up ler t hoi ruse. Adjoining it is a cloak room, water closet and ether conveniences. The cellar, the entrance te which i3 adjoining the dircc ters' room, is furnished with a first class furnace, which heats the entire building with het air. The several rooms are ad mirably lighted aud ventilated, aud gas brackets conveniently placed furnish an abundance of light at night. The cost of the new building and the site upon which it stands, is from $22,000 te 823,000. It appears te be iu every re spect admirably adapted te banking pur poses, aud in the hands of its energetic officers and careful beard of directors will no doubt attract a large share of public patronage aud ha of great convenience te the business men of this city and ceuuty.

Of these 31 are for 2-story dwellings, 1 for a 1-story dwelling, 2 for back buildings, 1 for the Mamneicher ha'l and one for the Chicago beef market.

'The peer one-mule college te be built at Findlay, O., is already lagging. The beard recently met and found they had net near money enough te put up the first building upon the donated let ; se they appointed another set of raoney raeney beggers te bore the membership of the church for mere money. We have heard that many who had subscribed have failed te pay up, and probably never will."

A bi ether is said te have asked him one day why he did se, when he answered : O, it's a kind of stepping place te get a new thought.'
