MAT 16, 1883t fnnrasfnn Alient DifTaSiOB. The Philadelphia Recerd declares that It does net militate against its theory that a tax en any article is always dif fused se as te equally reach all ether property, te maintain that a tax en oil falls en the seller and net en the buyer ; the only difference being that the tax is diffused through the seller instead of through the buyer. We confess our selves unable te understand hew the seller proceeds te get rid of any part of his tax if he cannot shove it off in sell ing his product. That is the only way, se far as we can see, in which he can gut back any part of the tax he has paid. If he does net get it back it remains with him. If it all remains with him he pays it and no one helps him te pay it. TTia workman, for instance, does net; for if he reduces his wages the buyer is te get the advantage of this, under the preposition, with which we start out in the argument, that tlie seller sells at cost or under. The Recerd holds that the ever-production of oil enables the buyer of it te fix its price; and, of course, he will take advantage of this power te fix the price at cost ; or some thing under it. He cannot fix the price at much less thau cost without stepping production and se limiting the supply as te put it into the seller's power te make the price. But, supposing the Accord e be cor rect in saying that a tax may be diffused by the seller, though he does net collect any part of it from the buyer, what be. comes of its objection te taxing petro leum that the burthen of the tax is borne by the producer ? If the producer can get rid of all but his fair share of the tax by diffusing it upon the commu nity generally se that each man gets his fair snare, is there any particular ebjec tien te the tax ? Will it net be borne equally V And is net equal taxation what we want ? The Recerd objects te taxing petro leum produced in Pennsylvania because it has te compete with the untaxed pe troleum produced in New Yerlc. This is a variation of its ground ; but if its fact is correct we consider its declara tion te be sound. If sullicient petroleum is produced in New Yerk te supply the demand for petroleum, then The Philadelphia Recerd says that Alexander P. Tutten, candidate at pre sent for commissioner of internal rev enue, is a gentleman of ability, energy and tried integrity. These are four ex cellent qualifications for a public officer. Mr. Tutten has been a public officer re peatedly. Mr. Tutten is a candidate for public office frequently. We knew Mr. Tutten. We are surprised that two such whellv different estimates can be entertained of the same man H3 these held by ourselves and the Rwerd of Mr. Alexander P. Tutten. job te transfer the marine hospital ana grounds, valuable state property, m i.ra, te the federal government for the obsten ebsten sible purpose of establishing a sailors' and Beldiers' home.

HOLDING ACONVEHTIOKTO COHBIHE Tiirc creditors of the Freedmen's bank have received their final dividend of seven per cent., making in all sixty-two per cent., or about the interest en their original claims. The deluded negrees who were induced te deposit their scanty earnings with this great politico-financial institution and were given little pass hooks plastered ever with mottoes, bidding them trust in Ged and the lie publican party were remerselessy plun dered by the rotten and thieving con cern.

The Indian buicau has instructed the agent among them te have the slaves liberated. edly the Pennsylvania producer would net be able te add the tax he pays te the price of his product, the expense of marketing it, otherwise, being sup posed te be equal. But we de net un derstand that petroleum is at present found in New Yerk, or adjacent states, in such quantity as te materially chal lenge the monopoly which Pennsylvania producers have in the article. If we are right, the Pennsylvania producer practi cally commands the market ; and in this case the Recerd declares that he may add the tax te every barrel he sells. He may de se, just as long as he does net overstock the market. Just se lout? he can collect the tax of the state from the consumer; and when he produces mere than the market will take he ought te pay the tax himself" for his felly. The plaus have been submitted for the erection of the proposed fifteen story house in New Yerk. After a year's resi dence the village of thirty-eight families of different nationalities who are te occu py it will doubtless have te bold a congress te establish international comity. At the opening of the International ex hibition at Amsterdam recently it must have been wonderfully inspiriting te have heard the singing of the preat cantata, composed for the occasion, thosyiujiheaious sounds of which were conveyed in lines undeubt-1 like these : " Hlijttile Aanle't voerbcchl ircven Vun't LteMrijKsii lluluzin I" The excitement ever the discovery that Washington and La Fayette were default ers in their revolutionary accounts will net be allayed by the announcement that Aaren Burr's were balanced te the penny and that Benedict Arneld's were squared even if it had te be done in the latter case by wiiting "traitor" opposite the balance.

Doubtless little belief need be eutcrtained that the court will punish him, but it is something satisfactory te think of that the het-blooded Kentuckians see the arlvisibility of at least bringing te the bur of justice the pistol and shotgun policy. The Representatives et Fifty Thousand Ceal Women Discussing the Meet Methods te Secure United Action. Pittsburgh Dispatch te the Times. The inter state convention of coal miners, which began its session in Pitts burgh Tuesday, is composed of delegates from four states Eastern Ohie, West Virginia, Illinois and Western Pennsylva nia. The gathering is of importance for the reason that it is the first effort ever made looking te a consolidation of interest en the part of the miners of the states in question. Heretofore the only successful miners' union was that maintained by the men in the Pittsburgh district, te the number of eight thousand or mere. They steed shoulder te shoulder in the payment of dues, but when it came te a strike there has generally been found some weak kneed enough te ruin all the plans of the officers and organizers. Anether great factor in breaking up strikes heretofore has been the unusual influx el miners irem ether dirtricts, principally in Ohia. These men would fleck in and fill the places of strikers. Operators in ether districts would also help their brother operators by filling their contracts. Te end all this the present convention has been called, and before it adjourns all these questions will be thoroughly discuss ed. The delegates present represent net less than 50,000 bituminous coal miners. As a general thing the great mass of miners are members of the Kuights of Laber. Outside of this order, however, there is what is known as the Union, com posed of miners who are bound en their honor te abide by the results of a delegate convention. There are Knights of Laber miners and Union miners both represented in the convention. Xbe Convention at Werk. The convention began its sossieu at Knights of Laber ball en Tuesday. Jehn McBride, of Ohie, was made presid eut ; Albert Cooper, of Illinois, and Jeseph Sheninff. of Pennsvlvania. vice presidents; Jehn H. Williams, of Ohie, and Jehn Flaunery of Pennsylvania, were made see retaries. There were 47 delegates from the four states. Each delegate was entitled te ene vote for every 100 men represented by him. A number of visitors, tepresent ing ether labor organizations of the city, were introduced. Having had experience iu oragauizatien, they advised the best means ler the miners te pursue te accomplish their object The speakers were President Jar rett, of the Amalgamated association ; Mr. Campbell, of the Telegraph Operators' National association ; Mr. McPherson and Mr. Rankin, of the Knights of Laber, and Mr. Armstrong, of the Laber Tribune. Mr. Layteu, grand secretary of the Knights of Laber, was present.. He excused himself from speakiug at length en account of lack of time. He stated, however, that by his presence he wanted te show his interest in the work that was being undertaken. A few of the delegates offered remarks, speaking but a few minutes. After listen ing te the addresses of the gentlemen named the convention adjourned until eight o'clock this morning. University Press, at Cambridge, Massa chusetts, have resumed work, the firm having agreed te their conditions.

COWAKLDY ASSAULT ON THE STREET. Senatek Aull declares that he and his fellow-excursionists m the Legisla ture did net abandon their legislative dutiep, te go en their Virginia tour, te forward any political pjirpese. Seme charitable newspaper that was trying te invent some sort of excuse for the excur sion suggested that Maheue had seduced our solens te Richmond te view the beauty of his repudiation gover nor. There was color given te the idea by the warm admiration which the visitors expressed for Gov Gov ereor Cameren, te whose eloquent de scription of himself and Mahone as the savieurs of Virginia credit, our senators and representatives are declared te have listened open mouthed. We will take Senater AulFs word for it that the excursionists had no political aim. We never thought they had. They were manifestly tee silly a set te have any aim. They sufficiently exhibited their felly when they were willing te abandon their seats in the Legislature ; and the credulity with which they listened te the Virginia Ananias was net needed as additional evidence of their mental and moral weakness. Senater Aull and his associate excursionists are dead and will be buried. Ne one will ever again have a chance te charge them with a political purpose. The attempt yesterday upon the life of an official in Ireland by individuals in ambush is geed cause te apprehend a repetition of the secret perpetration of crimes se common there net many months a'd. Actions like these are certainly te be condemned, but there is no reaseu te beliove that that of yesterday will be the last. It was a great mistake for the British government te cherish the hepe "that such deliberate outrages had been checked." Tnc Heuse has uuauimeusly adopted a resolution that the balauce of the unex pended fish appropriation of 1879 be ex pended en improving the fish way at the Columbia dam and constructing ene in the Clark's ferry dam. The Ilenr-e, ue doubt, did this geed uaturcdly and thoughtless ly ; for until seme kind of a fish way has been devised that will let the fish up it is a waste et money te spend mero ou con trivances like that at Columbia, through which Cel. Duffy says no shad ever made the ascent. The pepe drops a wise hint te the Far nellites wheu he warns them that te make sure of the sympathy of civilization and religion they must positively discounte nance unlawful resorts te violcnce and assassination methods. " While it is law ful for the Irish te seek redress for their grievances and te strive for their rights, they should, at the same time, seek Ged's justice and remember the wickedness of illegal means in furthering even a just oiuse. It is the duty of the clergy te curb the excited feelings of the people aud te urge justice and moderation." TUB INDIAN WAKS. Sknatek Fair has followed the ex ample of Senater Taber and bought a divorce from his wife. In both cases, with the accumulation of wealth, these men developed an appetite for luxury and licentiousness, and the women who had been their faithful helps-meet in adversity and poverty, naturally resent ed their flagrant breaches of marital duty and scandalous immoralities. Their senatorial husbands welcomed their com plaints as a pretext for divorce pro ceedings and connived at a separation from obligations which galled them. They have given their wives munificent alimony and have thus purchased their right te get married again. Taber has tened te take a new wife who was little better than himself and one of the same kind or worse is waiting for Fair. And this is the sort of men who sit in a Sen ate that has been exercised in devising ways aud means te disfranchise the Mor mons and confiscate their property. The New Yerk World, under its new management strikes out in new ways and premises te be a novelty in New Yerk journalism, as far removed from the old style of the paper as the difference be tween fcHurlburt and Pulitzer is wide. It brings te metropolitan editing the ways of the West which, for a time at least, are certain te attract attention. It has pleased some of the leading New Yerk journals te ignore the fact that a new man has taken charge of it, which only proves their shortcomings as newspapers. Their readers will be sura te find it out and then they may want te patronize a paper I FEATURES OF THE STATE PRESS. The Wilkesbarre Recerd recommends that Arthur go a fishing. What puzzles the Yerk Daily is that while mero boys are born than girls there is a surplus of female population. The Philadelphia Chronicle Herald pats Arthur en the back for the signs he shows of being his own man. The Yerk Age wants the Democratic leaders te postpone presidential nqm illa tions and go ahead with the work of re. form and of perfecting the organizations. The Keim case teaches the Pottsville Chronicle that the press of the country possesses the real veto power, even ever the president. The Pittsburgh Dispatch, by far the most enterprising and widely circulated newspaper in Western Pennsylvania, has put en a new dress, reducing the size of its type se as te accommodate the con stantly increasing demand for space which its enterprise as a news gatherer makes upon it. Rev. Dr. E. V. Gerhart, of the Re formed seminary, this city, is writing a series of articles for the Reformed Church Messenger te show that the want of a per manent executive is a serious defect in that church's ecclesiastical polity, and that this defect hinders, perhaps mero than any ether one thing, the efficiency and progress of its generai church opera tiens. The Philadelphia News applauds the new school superintendent, and outs out seme vacation work for him, such as see ing te it that little children are net put in the highest story, that pupils be allowed te take their arithmetics home with them, that there be absolute uniformity of text books and mere attention te light, heat and ventilation in'the school houses. The Harrisburg leUgraph pretests with Driving the Apaches Inte the Mountains. Gen. Tepatz, commanding the troops in Souera, thinks that General Creek has encountered the Apaches and driven them into their strongholds iu the Sierra Madre mountains. He believes the Apache question will never be settled while they retain their Sau Carles reservation, it being tee near the rcuegade Indians in Senera. He says it is the general opinion of the people of Senera that the Indian agents encourage the Indians te Ieave the reservation, deprodate aud steal in Senera, and carry back the plun der te the reservation, where they ex ex chnnge it for arms and ammunition. He thinks the removal or extermination of the Apaches the only solution of the diffi culty, and has confidence in Geu. Creek's ability te cenquer the renegades. He hopes the United States government will appreciate the difficulty aud hardships that Gen. Creek is new encountering. A special dispatch from Helena, Monta Menta na, says : The expected advance of a large war party of the northern Crees in Mon Men tana has been stepped by the mounted pelice of Fert Walsh, Northwest territery, and by the action of Gen. Ruger, of this district. Every effort will be made by Canadian lerces te confine the Crees te their own country, and no further danger is anticipated. The straggling bands new en this side of the border will also be placed under surveillance when they reach their reservation. A special session of the Choctaw Indian council was held at Armstrong academy, in the capital of the nation yesterdy, having been called by principal Chief McCurlin, te consider the Freedman question. By the treaty of 18GG between the Federal government and the Cenfeder ate Indians, the Choctaws and Chicka saws agreed te emancipate and give the usual rights te the colored people iu their natieu within two years, for which the United States was te give them $300. 000 and if they failed te adept them in that time the money was te be used te remove and settle them elsewhere. The Choctaws failed te adept them, and the government did net move them, and they have been there ever since without either citizenship, rights or a title te the land they work. The Choctaws new desire te adept them, and for this purpese the council was called. TUB DDATn-DEALlNU UVCLOMS. Ureat Destruction et Llle and Property.

ANNALS OF CHIME. that gives them all the news. I great earnestness against what it calls a A Dentist Telia a Queer Story. New Torte Morning Journal, " Why," said a prominent dentist te the reporter, " a beautiful young lady came te me and insisted en having her really fine teeth pulled out and false ones put in their place. I protested that it would be foolish, silly, senselcss ; but she said no, she would have them out, and if I would net de it seme dentist would. " My teeth are net fashionable," said she ; "they are tee long, and short little bread teeth like corn kernels are all the fashion new and no one admires my mouth and I will have them.' Se I made her the teetb, and they cost her just $300. She couldn't see anyone for two weeks after I pulled out her own. They were the upper ones only, and I made them up with geld plates for a handsome young fellow who had his own teeth knocked out in a base ball game. The worst of it is that he is in love with this very girl whose teeth he wears, and she knows they are hers. Just ponder en that." A Steamboat Alan's Lest Wallet. Capt. W. S.

The Little AapoleeuFlcbtt as he Vete By Proxy UU Hired Battles Meat Ell weaver. A t. ahent half past seven o'cleuk this meruing a most cowardly assault was made ou Eli Weaver iu front of the Loep ard hotel, East King street, the instigator of the assault being Levi binsenig, ana the assailant being bis hired man, Jehn Fex. The facts of the case as we nave gathered them are as fellows : Mr. Weaver, who resides at Blue Ball, is a cattle dealer, and is one of mero than twenty uieu employed by Senseuig te buy up cattle from the Lancaster county far mers ; a rise iu the price of them being anticipated, Weaver and the ethers bought largely, receiving from Seusenig a suffi cient ameuut of funds te pay the farmers " earnest money " when the contract for the purchase of the cattle was mde, the full price te be paid when the cattle shall be delivered. Instead of the price going up it has within a month or two gene dewu Irem 50 75 cents per hundred, and Seusenig has in Knmn instances refused te accept the e.vt tie bought by his agents, as was stated in the Intelligencer a week age. When Sensenig saw the statement in the Intellieenceii he wrote te Weaver, (whom he suspected of furnishing the information,) telling him that he should have the paper retract all it had said about him or he would print in the Intelligen ce " the reason why " he did net take Weaver's purchases. Weaver wrote iu reply that the article in the Intelligencer did net hurt his feelings nor his credit ; that he had put about $1,500 of his own money into Son Sen csnie's cattle, and he had a right te pre tect himself ; and that if there was te be any further newspaper publication about the matter, he would like te have it ex plained why it was necessary that he, (Weaver) should be obliged te invest $1,500 of his money te carry en Sensenig's business. The parties did net meet again until this morning, but en Friday last Mr. Weaver had occasion te go te New Hol Hel land, and there he found that two of Mr. SensemVs men were taking out a let of ca'tlethat Weaver had bought for him, and en which he had advanced money. Weaver refused te let the cattle be taken away until they were paid for, and ordered them back into the enclosure. He then telegraphed te Sensenig that he could have the cattle if he deposited iu the Farmers' bank $200 due en them. He received no answer from Sensenig, but received au answer from the bank that Sensenig had made no deposit te his credit. He, therefore, held ou te the cattle. Te-day's Encounter. This morning Sensenig and Weaver met in Killiuger's butcher shop. Weaver asked Senseuig what he should de with the cattle he bought for him and yet held. Sensenig at once flared up and demanded the money (seme $800 or $900) which he had advanced Weaver, calling him a s , aud telling him he had both his money and his cattle ; that he was a thief and he would sue him for embezzlement and have him in jail in fifteen minutes if he did net pay him. Weaver replied that Senseniir might be able te scare seme of FLORENCE BURTON FOUND.

A typographical error occurred in the editorial en Governer Pattison yesterday that it is well te correct. In the follow ing sentence " Governer Pattison well knows that he did net attempt te carry out either Mr. McClure's oral advice, or the suggestion of Mr. McClure's letter, ei the premise reluctantly made by Pattison te McCIure," the word "reluctantly" was written " voluntarily"and should have been se printed. Governer Pattison made none ether than voluntary premises te Mr. McCIure, as no pledges of any kind were asked of him. the farmers by his bluster but he couldn't scare him. He said that as seen as Sen senig paid for the cattle for which he (Weaver) was responsible, he would hand ever te him all the money he had advan ced. He merely wished tosave himself. Sensenig left the butcher shop vowing vengeance. Weaver came out and leaned against the iron b;:uch in ireut of the Leepard. In a very few minutes Senseuig returned, followed by Jehn and Henry Fex. Pointing te Weaver he said : "There he is ; new give it te the . Jenn Fex at ence struck Weaver, who staggered into a small area in front of a cellar win dew, about two feet bo'ew the pavement and barely large enough te stand up in. While in this uncomfortable position Fex rained blows upon his head until he was pulled away by bystanders. Then Sense nig said " that's enough for te day we'll give him mero some ether time," and he and the Foxes walked away. Neither Sensenig nor Harry Fex struck Weaver, though Harry was in handy distance if he had been needed. The Little Napoleeu fights as he votes by proxy ; it's the safer way. Bystand ers, who witnessed the assault en Weaver, say it was cowardly in the extrome ; he was struck without a mement's nonce, and without the least provocation, while he was leisurely leaning against the iron settee, and having been staggered by the blew, and fallen into the area he was unable te defend himself te advantage from the blows which followed, or te thrash his assailant, as he deserved te be thrashed. Suit Brought. Soen after the affair, Mr. Sensenig made complaint of embezzlement against Weaver, and Alderman Ferdney issued a warrant for his arrest. He was taken into custody, just as he wai starting for his home; he waived a hearing aud entered bail te answer at court. Mr. Weaver has net yet sued either Sensenig or Fex for assault, though his friends think he ought te de se, and he probably will. By throwing his arm3 iu front of his tace, wniie ne was in tne cellar area, he saved himself from serious injury, and he shows scarcely a scratch or mark of the attack en him, though one cheek and the lower lip are slightly swollen. ITS POLITICAL SIGNIFICANCE. TUE DISTIIIUUISBF.D DEAD. A Comparison of Stevens and Becaanan. One et the features of the first issue of the Pittsburgh Dispatch in its new and handsome typegrapical suit, was a letter by its staff correspondent "St. Gee" (Mr. Gee. Welshens) who npent Saturday and Sunday in this city. His theme was the lamiliar story of Steveus and Buchanan and be gives an account of their homes and their tombs, as they are teen daily and well kuewn te our e:tiseus. ibis is hew the correspondent was impressed with an examination and comparison of their wills : The wills of the two men are recorded in the same book witbiu sixty pages of each ether. I have never geno the length of taking handwriting as an infallible and sufficient index te character, but certainly many of the traits "characteristic of the writers may be read in and between the lines of these old documents. Buchanan was a methedist with a little m, a stickler for forms, a reverent worshipper et pro pre cedents ; se cautions iu action that while his friends lauded him as a conservative, his enemies denounced him as a coward. Ue was above all things a gentleman and a punctilious moralist. He would hesitate te commit an unusual wrong, scarcely be much because it was wrong, as because it was unusual. Stevens bad no regard for the miner moralities of life when he was bent en accomplishing a great purpose. Zealous, ardent, impetuous aud unscrupulous, he debauched the politics cf bis country and bought his way into tLe halls of legisla tion, there te take the bravest and giand est stand upon the greatest measures. He sought always the end, regardless of the means. If he could establish a common school system in Pennsylvania, strike the shackels from the black man and recon struct the governmental system of the Southern states without trausgrcsfring the decalogue of the constitution, se geed. If net, se much the werse ler the decalegue and the constitution. la the slang of modern politics, he would be classed as a " git thar" statesman. While Buchanan hesitated at the gates of Paradise te ad just his stock, Stevens would have set about reconstructing Satau's government without waiting te take off his overcoat. Buchanan, retiring te the lovely seclu sien of Wheatlaud tee late for bis lame, set about preparing for stately dignity. " In the name of Ged, amen," his will begius, "I, James Buchanan, late presi dent of the Unired States, being of sound mind, &e ," and gees en te distribute his property, taking punctilious care te guar antee that each bequest should reach the object for which it was intended. The writing is a courtier's hand, flne and deli cate as a woman's. Each letter seems te have been written with deliberation and with a copy before him. Every alternate line is left blank as though te add im portance te the document. There is net a blot nor an erasure ou the paper from the opening senteuce te the signatU'O. Cent'.'iits of Stevens' Will. Stevens at t he time when he had te be carried from his bad te his seat in the Hall of Representatives, seems te have dashed off his will while seme new maraber was making a etatMical speeeh. He starts out hurriedly : "Last will aud testament of Thaddeus Stevens, of Lancaster." He writes with the heavy hand ne nsea in shaping public eveuts. The document carries the marks of haste in every fine. There is no superfluous legal verbiage about it. Here a word or two is emitted from a sentence. There the expression has net suited him. He dashes the pen through it aud gees en. Ha is in a hurry te get the thing dene, without regard te hew. He gives the proceeds of $500 te the sexton of the graveyard in Peacham, Ver mont, where his mother and brother lie buried, " en condition that ha keep the sraves in troed erder and plant roses and ether cheerful flowers iu each of the four corners of said graves every spring." Further ou he remembers his mother again iu a bequest te a Baptist church, of which faith she was, with the explanation "I de this in memory of my mother, te whom I ewe whatever of prosperity I have had iu this world, and which, small as it in, I desire emphatically te acknowledge." Directing the sale of seme property, he drops this hint : "As $5,000 has been offered for it, it should net go for less." Then again, as though it had suddenly occurred te him, he says : "I bought the nrenertv of Jacob Effiinger at sheriff's sale at much below its real value.

The above incident has had a tendency te excite seme interest in the approaching Republican primarys election, which, though only ten days off, have as yet created no excitement. The only office of any importance at stake is that of district attorney, for which the recognized leading candidates are A. J. Eberly and A. C. Reinechl. The boss politicians of the ceantv have thus far kept bauds off, though Levi, who is the most active and influential of all the bosses, has all along been recognized as Eberly's chief backer. It is said that Sensenig's quarrel with some of his old friends has excited them te activity against his candidate and that thev will make special effort during this week and next te show him the extent of their power by antagonizing Eberly. As his business and political Hues have here tofore run pretty closely teeether, separa tion in the one may mean fresh antagonisms in the ether, and Reinoehl stock has ad vanced considerably today.

A Characteristic Letter. A letter which came te my hands the ether day is worth printing te show Stev ens' methods in politics. During the het campaign for governor in 1803, when Woodward was beaten by Curtiu, J. E. Allen was superintendent of the govern ment repair shops at Washington. He had about eleven hundred Pennsylvanians in his employ. Under the auspices of Wm. II. Kcmble, of Philadelphia, they were furleughcd te go home te vote, being first separately sworn te support the Republican ticket. Stovens also went home te vote, and, although then at the piuuacle of his power in Congress thought proper te see that the workmen from the government shops vote right. October V was election pay. unuer uate " Lancas ter, October 14, 1803," he writes : Mu. Allen I think it right te inform inform you Jes.
