The eoverner lias appuiuteu ifr. Schwartz te the Berks county orphans' .n.irh iiidjresliiD. and we assume thai he considered him te be flt for the place. In this opinion he is sustained by some of Mr Schwartz's neighbors in Berks, among whom HiesterCJymer and Geerge F. Baer are prominently named as speu sere of bis nomination. They would in cline te be sponsors for the friends of their friend Judge Hagenman ; or rather Mr. Baer would de anything de cent te oblige Hagenman and Mr. Cly mer anything reputable te oblige Baer. We hope that the event will justify their judgment aud the governor's confirma tion of it. Mr. Schwartz, we agree, is a very pleasant gentlemen and quite :i geed politician. The governor is report en te have said te the delegation, who protested against his nomination en the ground that he was net much of a law yer, that it does net take a very geed lawyer te be a very geed judge, or words te that effect ; and we quite agree that the best lawyers would net make the l)est judges. Success en the bench requires very different elements of strength from these that are demanded for success at the bar ; and it may be that in Judge Schwartz may dwell as yet undeveloped the magnificent judicial qualities that made the obscure Gibsen the best chief justice whom Pennsylvania lias ever had. We are sure we hope se, for the sake of the heirs of Berks county's dead rich men; but it is an unnecessary sort of risk for them te face, when they could have been guaranteed against it se easily by putting en the orphans' court bench such a judge as Garret Ste vens or Isaac Hicster would have surely made. The Heading JVcics thinks that the Intelligence!; is somewhat impeiti nent in giving its opinion that Berks wouldn't get a very geed judge in Schwartz; and the News is sere tee, because the Intelligence!: wouldn't, help it te defeat the bill te make this new judgeship. If the N us will put its spectacles en, it will see that ii is a little inconsistent in it. te deny us the privi lege of expressing our opinion about its judge while abusi'ig m for net express ing it about the etlice. The I ruth is we think the etlice is a geed one, but thai the judge might, be a geed deal better one ; and the Intelligences has a habit, of ex pressing its opinions just as it forms them ; aud the fact that " one of its ed iters is chairman of the 1 himecralic state committee," doe net in the .slight.!!.. degree interfere with the exercise of this habit ; nor is there any reason te say that the expiessien of the Intellicien rEn's opinion " leeks like an attempt, te play the role of a boss," unless by ihe Intelligences itself. Thu announce ment has been repeatedly made that the Intelligences is net edited by the chairman of the Democratic state coin mittee, who appears in its columns only as one of its editors, and its utterances arenotte be given weight nor tole.-e weight by reason of his ellicial position The man who serves the associated. pra.'js at Uniontown is a remarkably in dustrieus and devoted adherent of I hi unfortunate Nutts. We seldom escape a day without a communication from him in their behalf. We venture te think that the thing is a little overdone The point that is being worked up new is the matter of contributions. They started te Hew in as seen a3 Dukes was shot, for the defense of his murderer ; S3 this Unioite.v.i :ijut declaie 1 They seem te need .stimulation new and we are assured that t'.ie Nutt estate is insolvent, and though the fam ily de net beg, contributions fcr for their relief will Iu very w.!lc m . 1 f they are really pier, Lh.it re.is n I'.ir sending money te them is a much hotter one than te ask it for I tie defence of the son for a crime deliberately perpetrated, ana the benevolently inclined may find herea geed place for their charity, but it will net de for them te take the word of the Uniontown agent for abso lute verity. He lately favored us with a narrative of Miss Nutt's comments upon the bequest of 2,000 by Dukes te her alleged rival Miss Basses ; .she thought he ought te have given h-r uvcrythiug ; "she leeks se worn, pour thing. " ale said. This was mere evidently feminine than amiable. Miss Beesen would prob ably prefer te be without the .sympathy if a woman who calls her " worn." The Allemewn iron company has shut down its mills ostensibly because of its indisposition te tolerate the existence of .the Amalgamated association among its workmen. A committee of the asso ciation waited upon Mr. Jehn Fritz, the manager, te discuss some matter of dis pute between the workmen and the man agement, and he refused te listen te them, but at once ordered his mills te he shutdown. Mr. Fritz hi tee well known te let it be supposed that his action wa.5 without geed cause, lie probably has been running his works for the benefit of the workmen, without profit te the com pany, and was naturally disgusted that they should be se little appreciative of his generosity as te want te dictate te him just hew he should enjoy the luxury of losing his money for their benefii.. Fen years it has been the practice te incorporate in the general apprepriat ion bill an allowance of per diem pay and extras for certain officers of the Legisl i- ture who are paid a fixed salary, which under the law cannot be increased or diminished during their term. By ihLs prevision of the law the salary of the chief clerks of the Houses, for instance, which is fixed at $2,500 each, has been increased in the appropriation bill te $3,750 and ethers correspondingly. It is new announced that Governer Patlisen intends te veto this extra allowance, and surely fault cannot be fennd with such a discriminating exercise of his veto power in favor of the strict construction of the principle that salaries ought net te be varied during the term for which .they are drawn.

Of course no such attempt will be made. There will be a state convention in 1884 te select the delegates te the national convention. Sen atek Wallace plainly told his Republican colleagues the ether day,- in answer te their threats of an apportion ment that would give the Democrats only eight certain congressional districts in the state, out of twenty-eight, that such a measure would net be accepted by the Democrats, and they were ready te go before the people en that issue. Se they are. The Democrats are entitled 10 at least thirteen districts. They have offered te take twelve, and even te accept the bill drafted by Jehn Stewart himself.

A Description el tae laterwag Precess Used 97 tba Sarssjeas. The body of the late Archbishop Weed whose funeral obsequies were performed with great solemnity at the cathedral en Tuesday last, was embalmed by Dr. M. L. Nardyz, of 748 Seuth Ninth street, pre pre parater te the Jeffersen medical college, and member of several prominent foreign medical societies. He was assisted by Professer H. T. Cressen, of the Academy of Natural Sciences, and Dr. Frank Wort Wert man, of the Jeffersen college. The process employed in the case of the late distinguished prelate, is claimed by Dr. Nardyz te be equal te, aud in many respects superior te, that employed by the ancients ; and it is thought will stand the test of age quite as well. The numerous instances in which he has been called upon te perform the duties of a like office have se far proved pre-eminently successful. It was by this process that he embalmed the Russian Prince Alexander Aristoff, who died in Paris in 1878, and whose body is said te be in a fine state of preservation at the present time. Owing te the state of the weather and the time required te raake the necessary preparations for the imposing funeral ceremonies it was thought proper te have the archbishop's body embalmed. Dr. Nardyz and his assistants were accordingly called in 24 hours after death had taken place, and began the arduous task of em balming. A short description of the method of procecdure may be briefly stated as fellows : The viscera were first thor oughly cleansed with appropriate solutions after which all the bleed was extract ed from the body. The preservative liquids, the preparation and composition of which require the greatest care, and are known only te the doctor and his assis tants, were then introduced through the aorta and made te fill every bleed vessel in the entire system, thereby permeating the remotest portions of the body. After this the body was carefully bandaged with linen and covered with silioate of soda in order te exclude the outer surface from contaet with the air. A few mere miner details completed the work. By the extraction of the bleed and the peculiar composition of the preservative liquids, it is claimed that the objectionable featuroef turning black is entirely obvi ated. At all eveuts the corpse, which the doctor and his assistants say is the hand somest they ever saw, looked as natural as life after a lapse of six days of the most trying weather. The perfection of feature and line condition of preservation were universally admired by the clergy. The Responsibility Fer It. Philadelphia Itocerd. The Democrats iu the Pennsylvania Legislature, with the majority in the Heuse and the governor, have boeu willing from the beginning te go te the utmost verge of concession in order te settle this vexed question iu seme degree of conformity with the loquirements ei the constitution. The Republi cans of the Sauate, en the ether hand, fully rjcognize their advantage under the shamefully fraudulent gerry mander of ten years age, aud they are resolved te maintain it unless the Demo crats will surrendcr in new apportionment cearly all that the old gerrymander wres tled from them. This alene provents a fair apportionment, and this is what the organs of the party enjoying the gerry mander carefully keep from view. But for the oxistence of this indecent gerrymander under which the Democrats have net mero than eight congressional districts, the two houses would agrce upon the apportion ment bills in twenty-four hours and adjourn. In resistance te fair measures of appor tionment the little kiln: of se called Inde pendents iu the Senate have betrayed as much partisan meanness and want of scruple as the extremist Stalwaits. Dur ing the regular session Senater Stewart did get up an apportionment bill which magnanimously conceded te the Democrats eleven of the twenty eight districts for Congress. Even this measure the Deme crats of the Legislature were willing te accept iu their anxiety for a settlement, nut a majority ceuiu net ue mustered in its support in the Senate, iu which Stewart, Lee, Emery, MacFarlane, Agnew aud Longenecker held the balance of power. Astenished at his own momen tary liberality or liudiug effort in behalf of his bill unavailing Senater Stewart has joined the Stalwarts in support of the same McCracken apportionment bill which he crcwuile denounced for its un fairness. If there are any silly psople left iu Pennsylvania who believe that thn In dependent:! have a higher .standard of political morality and decency than the Stalwarts they will find in the daily proceedings of the cxtia session ample materials for roviewing their judgment. -- KKUHI I'MJI, KAII.lCO.VO tHIM.ISIO.-J 'Clie DlSHHter Wrought by a jillapiacetl Switch.

The supreme court of Ohie Thursday gave out its decision in support of the Scott liquor tax law. The court holds the law te be "valid and constitutional, ex cept the second section, wherein it is held net te apply te leases executed prier te the passage of the act, as no contracts made can be violated." The point is made that " declaring ene section partially null and void does net destroy the validity of the law as a whele, and its legality is net thereby affected." Governer Butler is preparing a veto of the bill for a state tax of $2,000,000. It is said he will claim that "the state is $700, 000 better off than it was last year ; that the tax should consequently be but $1, 500,000, and that the state can borrow, if necessary, at a' much lower rate than cities and towns.
