The Republican senators have an nounced their unalterable resolution te make no concession te the Democrats in the apportionment. "What they offered first, they offer last. Cooper for the Stalwarts and Stewart for the Indepen dents were equally resolute in affirming the Republican determination. Senater Cooper declared that their purpose would rmw stronger every day they were kept in session. Senater Stewart vowed that they would never .waver. Other Repul Hcans declared that the snows of winter might come and go and find them still refusing te approve any ether cengres sienal apportionment than the one pre posed in the McCracken bill, or modify ing in any way the ether apportionment bills which they have offered. Tills then is the situation, and we are delighted that it is se plainly defined. After a failure te agree in the regular session upon the apportionments com manded by the constitution the Legisla ture was recalled by the Democratic governor te discharge this plain duty, the Senate being Republican and the Heuse Democratic. The Dleuse has offered te the Senate important conces sions of its views as te just apportion ments. The Senate has offered the Heuse none. It is new for the people te decide which party is responsible for the failure te obey the constitution. It has been suggested that the gever nor will reconvene the Legislature should it adjourn without performing its con atitutienarduty. The Republican sena ters seemed te apprehend that this would be the result of their contumacy. We have no idea that the governor will de anything of the kind. He has snfli ciently discharged his duty in recalling the Legislature enze te discharge their sworn duty. When they fail te deit he is free from the responsibility. Neither as governor nor as Democrat is it his duty or his policy te go further in the pffert te have the constitution obeyed. The responsibility for the failure te obey is fixed firmly en the Legislature, and just. as firmly en the Republican side of it. This will be readily seen when the apportionment bills, upon which they take their staud and which they declare they will net vary from one iuta, are compared with what they should liu 1 1 they give a just representation te the people then llie Democrat will be con demned for net accepting it ; but if their apportionment is unjust they will lese their cause before the paeple. Senater Stewart declares that the constitution, while directing an apportionment te be made, cannot coerce a legislator's conscience ; and leaves 113 te infer that his conscience will net approve anything but the McCracken bill. Senater Stewart for some time has baen falling from grace, and new seems te have acquired a very hardened pelit ical conscience. A year age he was a devotee of justice. He conceived that he bore its banners, and that paneplied as he was, he would make an excellent record at the close of tin tournament,. Whereas Senater Stewart made a very peer one. He get remarkably few votes He seems te have been soured by the unexpected revelation that it is net :il ways the man with pious intentions upon whom the Lord smiles. He is net caring se much new for heavenly illum ination, lie is persuaded that he will di batter by sticking te his party ; and he sticks. He does well. Senater Stew art is uet as big a mau as he thought himself. lie is net cut out for great uess. He will de batter sailing close t shore than in venturing out en the bil lows. He gets sea sick tee seen. It is net the situation for a light-headed and weak, nervous and a peer calculator. Mr. Stewart evidently is net geed at figures. He showed this well enough when he was counting up the votes lie did net get; and he shows it new in his failure te comprehend that the Mc Cracken bill requires 10,000 mere Deme crats than Republicans te elect a con gressman- We presume Mr. Slewait does net get these figures into his head, else he certainly would net insist that it was ajustapportienmeut. His conscience might let him de it, but would he be such a feel as te deliberately go before the people and declare it V As Senater Wallace well said in the debate, " the people want fairness, jus tice and equity." This bread thought had actuated the Democratic side and they proposed te go before the people with it. That is the issue ; and en the record as new made up we are well equipped te meet it. TnE Philadelphia Times is net true te itself nor te the truth when it declares that in the matter of the apportionment at Harrisburg " the folks are every bit as geed as the people," and that " the lead ing men of each party, who ought te have been big enough for better things, have placed partisan advantage first, te the subordination of the interests of the commonwealth. That is the truth, and neither side can claim any advantage ever the ether." By the very standard of a proper apportionment which the Times itself laid down, the Democratic folks offered everything that was fair and right and the Republi can people refused te accept it. The Democrats did net place partisan advantage first, but accept d partisan disadvantage and 'agreed ' te take the bill framed by Jehn Stewart himself. We recognize the fact that as a Republican organ the Times is bound te sake out the best case possible for its party, but it is net tee much te ask even of ite organic organism that it will meas ure tee apportionment situation by the standard which it set up only a few days age.

Seener or later this immense heard of silver dollars, constantly accu mulating, will have te be melted up; and when that time comes the trade dollar will go further than the Bland dollar. Contemporaneously with the re port that Mr. Tilden is " willin" comes the news that Mr. Randall is net even remotely a candidate for anything else than speaker of the Heuse. There are a great many Democratic statesmen who would de well for themselves and their party by following Mr. Randall's exam pie of recognizing that the presidential election comes off next year, net this; and between then and new there is te assemble a Democratic congress, en the wise action of which will largely depend the fate and future of the party and its presidential candidate. Is tue Philadelphia Times se utterly bar tueni.cd as te have no opinion at all en the " Count Joannes" pi ink of the Repub lican state platform ?

Tin: Philadelphia Jitening Telegraph, Rep., declares that the state convention of its party was decidedly tee previous in attempting, at this early period in the discussion of the scheme, te give its en dorsement te the project for dividing the surplus in tue United states treasury among the states. A seiiieus difficulty is reported te have arisen ever the selection of a chairman of the Republican state committee. Senater Cooper, it is stated, who had been slated for the place, is found te be disqualified te serve because having made the campaigu against Pattiseu en the gieund that he was born in Maryland he caunet run Livesy en the issue that he was born in England. The New Yerk Times, the lead in it Republican newspaper of the country, mildly speaks of the Whaiten Barkei phase of the Pennsylvania platform as "crude" felly," net worth kicking at, aud of no consequence because " tht slate of Pennsylvania does net direct the financial policy of the government and the Republicans of Pennsylvania de net formulate the principles for the party in the nation. Tin: Republicans sat dumb in the state Senate last night under Mr. Wallaces leicil arraignment of their unfairuesH in the apportionment matter and his elear presentation of the reasonableness of the Democratic demand. It may delight Mr. Stewart and his Stalwart coadjutors te stir up Senators Humes and Gorden upon their iclatiens te the executive, but that is net a fundamental issue nor the one upon which the next state campaign will be fought. Upen the facts and figures of Senater Wallace's speech the Democracy can easily afford te rest their case in the discussion of au honest, just aud true ap portionment. The Scevllle's Family Troubles. Geerge Sceville's affidavit, supported by that of bis son, has been filed in answer te his wife's petition for alimony. He says the lady has no just grounds for complaint against him, as be carried eat every agree ment te the best of his ability. Such fail ures as have been made are chargeable te her persecutions, annoyances and miscon duct ; that in a little ever a year next prier te May, 1883, she caused him $2,000 ex penses ever and above money paid te her ; that en June 30 he gave her $230 worth of furniture and $20 in money, but that she, with Guiteau like ingratitude, only labored te bring fresh trouble upon him. He pities his wife's unfortunate mental con dition aud desires custody of the child Bertha. a Nice Distinction. Philadelphia Hecerd. While in pursuit of a burglar in Fra zarsburg, Ohie.recently a merchant named Blizzard chased the criminal into the river firing at him as they ran. The grand jury has new indicted Mr. Blizzard for murder in the first degree, net because he shot at the burglar but because he did net go te the latter's assistance when he was drown drewn ing. The judge instructed the jury te indict any bystander for murder who re fused or neglected te help the drowning burglar. Apparently it is lawful hi Ohie te sheet burglars bat net te drown them,a nice distinction which no petit jnry in its souses will recognize.

A Crazy Scheme KOectnally Punctured. Phlladelphla;Keceril. During the greenback craze mere than one wild financial scheme was breached, but even the plan of irredeemable currency intercbanged with inconvertible bends was a mild kind of lunacy compared with the midsummer madness of this device for maintaining high taxes in order te distri bate a large treasury surplus among the states. Apart from its financial felly it shows hew gross and perverted is the notion entertained by its authors concern ing the relations of the states and the gen. era! government. Yet this seheme for centralizing the power of the general gov ernment and reducing the states te beg garly dependents en its alms is gravely proposed te the people as a prep te pre tactien. In behalf of this seheme it is said that there is a precedent in the distribution of the proceeds of the public lands. It is true that there was once a small distribution of some surplus money that had been saved by economical administration, -bat the Democrats of the time made short work of it In 1844 the Whigs, who have trans mitted some of their loesep61itical notions te tbeir political successors, declared in their platform , in favor of "the distribution of .the proceeds from the sales, of the, public lands." But the Democrats met them with the counter declaration that nth proceeds of the pablie lands ought te be sacredly applied te the national objects specified in the constitution, and that we are oppewd te ttS3SUftSl law 'for v the states aa alika.iMSMikBt-i. policy. and ' xeMznaat "te- tMeaMtttartkJe.'-'. Frem that thaw nethjag w heard of the distribution of a treasury awplas among the states until revived in this recent and monstrous guise. The defeated Whigs were glad te drop it, but they never dreamed of maintaining unnecessary taxes and thereby creating an.enormeus surplus for distribution among the states. There is no reason te doubt that the Democrats of Pennsylvania will meet this new menBtcr as the Democrats of the last generation met the ancestors. The gov ernment of this country is net a great machine for erinding taxes out of the many for the benefit of tbe few and for creating a vast surplus of revenues ter distribution among the states. Ic was the doctrine of the ancient Democracy that the state can raise tbeir own revenues and take care of their own domestic affairs ; and that is geed Democratic doctrine new. The Democracy did net believe that the states needed coddling with surplus rev enue pap, and against all such sehemes they maintained that " no mere revenue ought te be raised thau is required te de fray the expenses of the government." In raising this perpetual motion surplus dis tribution monster for devouring the rev enues unnecessarily wrung from the pao pae ple in the name of protection the Repub lican convention of Wednesday has given the Democrats of Pennsylvania a great opportunity. What will they de with it ? They cannot take refuge in the usual party clap trap, as is already predicted of them, in the presence of such a menace te the principles of Democracy and the true interests of the country as made in this Republican platform.

A number of years age Andrew White was one of the most prominent property holders of Chicago, and made for himself an immeeBe fortune, with which he retired te a stock farm near Dwight, where be has lived most of the time since. His steady attention te business and the consequent mental strain affected his'nundi te such an extent that he had te be care fully watched Jby his t family. He grew steadily worse andjrerae until hia strange freaks were se unbearable that lie 'hid te be sent te a private asylum. Here he ac quired the strange and fatal hallucination that his imprisonment was due te a desire- en tbe part of bis wife and children te get held af his fortune and spend it. He com municated the fears te the warden of the institution, who canned tbe patient te undergo a rigid medical examination, in which such conclusive evidence was de de dueed that he was declared hopelessly in sane. He was continually inventing means of escape te execute vengeance upon his family ; but net until a week age did he succeed in obtaining his liberty through the carelessness of his custodians. He speedily made his way te his former home, near Dwight, en his mission of vengeance, purchasing a large Smith & Wessen revolver en route. Reaching the house in the middle of the night, he watched till morning, when he advanced te the front step and called out te his wife te come, down and welcome him. The family, consisting of tbe wife and two children, aged 10 and 18 years, rushed at once toward the perch, rejoiced te hear the familiar voice and supposing that the husband aud father had been released from the asylum in the possession of his faculties. He allowed each member of the family te caress him, and a moment after, with out the least agitation, drew from his pocket the revolver, and looking his wife in the face, said : " Yeu want my money, my fortune, damn you take that !" and he sent a ballet crashing through her brain, and she fell dead en the perch, as he turned and buried bullets in the brains of his boys and girl. When he had dene this he laid down the revolver and gazed upon the fearful deed he had perpetrated. Fer a moment the horror of the act seemed te restere his reason, and with a desperate cry he fell upon tbe corpse of his wife, kissing it aud weeping ever it. His hallucination return ing, however, he dragged the bodies of the dead into the dining room and laid them out en the table, the wife first, they boy next and the girl last. MGieUKOBUOOU NEWS.

Anether case of smallpox is reported. Henry Elselsore occupies the upstairs of Ne. 428 Maaer street. 'Yesterday it was aaeertainnd that hia.little. daughter Tillie, aged three years, who had been sick for seme'dajs, was suffering from smallpox. This morning Dr. Fitzpatrick visited the family and advised' the removal of the child te the hospital, the case being a faJh'er bad enef .The mother ceusentcd te the' preposition, provided she be allowed te accompany it. Ramera of ether cases exist, but it is impossible te ascertain whether they are true or false. The health commissioner has no right te make domiciliary visits without the' consent of the occupants, tie has made many .such visits en his own re sponsibility, and in most cases has been courteously received, but it is au unpleas ant dnty te perform, and might be avoided if all practising physicians would promptly notify the beard of health of all cases of smallpox or varioleid that come witmn their practice. As seme of them have thus far failed te de se exaggerated reports are circulated ; and when any of the non-reporting physicians are seeu te visit a family, be matter for what purpose, a report ia circulated that they are visiting smallpox patients.' They have it in their power te abate. the alarm and assist the beard 'of health in stamping out the disease, by- promptly reporting every case. TUK BOARD tir HKAf.TII. A Joint Meeting Wltb the Sanitary Com Cem J mlttee. Last evening the beard of health and the sanitary cemmittee of city councils held a joint meeting in common council chamber. Of the' beard of health Mr. Zecher aud Drs. Brown, Fitzpatrick, Levergood and Reed were present. Of the sanitary com mittee DrT Bolenius aud Messrs. Dillcr and Eberman were present. Dr. Levergood occupied the chair and Dr. Brown acted as secretary. The minutes of the last meeting of the beard of health were read anil approved . . The following preamble and resolutions piesented by Dr. Levergood were uuuui meusly adopted : Whereas, It ia a well known fact, as well known te meat members of councils ,as it is te citizens residing in the northern portion of the Sixth aud Ninth ward. that there exists at the intersection of North Queen and Clay streets, a uu'uuiice of an almost intolerable character ; a nuisance that has occasioned an extraordinary amount of mortality among children whose patents reside iu the -locality referred te, aud which has 'occa sioned very great coeiplaint ; therefore Resolved, That this beard respectfully and earnestly calls the attention 01 councils te tbe matter complained of, with tbe hope that these bodies will speedily afford the necessary relief ; iu ether wents, t:i:;e measures te abate a public niiisaime. Resolved, That the aauitary cemmittee be requested te bring this subject te the attention of councils. Dr. Brown offered a resolution, which was adopted, te the effect that a commit tee of three he appointed te draft an erdinance for preventing the spread of contagious and infectious diseases, ami te present the same te the sanitary commit tee, te be by them presented te the city councils for adoption. The chair appointed Drs. Brown and Reed aud Mr. Steigcrwalt said cemmittee. Several nuisances of miner iuipnrtaucri were reported and the necessary means taken te abate tiiein, after which the meeting adjourned. Faithful Discharge r Artluuus Uutles. New Era. Dr. Fitzpatrick, the health commis sioner, gets mera unmerited abuse about these times than any ether man we knew of. Lancaster, uulike many ether cities of its size and intelligence, has net yet been educated up te the appreciation of these severe sanitary regulations which aie au absolute necessity for preventing or hold ing contagious 'diseases in check. Hence the average citizen doesn't like any inter ference with what he censideis bin per senal and private rights, which he thinks includes the right te get the smallpox and communicate the contagion te his unsus pecting neighbors if they cress bis thresh held or he theirs, liccause Dr. Fitzpa trick tries te de his duty te the best of bis ability under the limited powers doled out by the councils te the beard of health for whom he is aeting, he is frequently abused by the very men and women whom he is trying te serve while serving the public. Much of thin abuse has been given by men who ought te be ashamed of their conduct. We are in a position te knew that the citizens of Lancaster ewe a debt of crati crati tude te Dr. Fitzpatrick for his efforts te prevent the spread of the disease which started iu this city with a very threaten ing aspect. He accepted au office which net ene in a thousand would be willing te fill. He has been faithful te the trust. Iu spite of curses aud threats where kind words and encouragement were his due ; notwithstanding that even sumo physicians embarrassed his effeit.? by refusing or neg lecting te report cases they were ti eating, he has succeeded in maintaining a tolera bly effective quarantine of infectt-d houses and influenced the vacciu.itieu of a large namber of persons. Had the beard of healthy been clothed with all the peweis which airbeardi" tuu.il have te be efficient, and a prominent hospital been establinhed with competent nurses, the smallpec could have been stamped out in half the timn it has taken and may yet take. The only wonder is that, considering the disadvan -taires under whieh the beard and their health commissioner have 1j bored, they have accomplished se much. We therfore bespeak for Dr. Fitzpatrick the encour agement and co-operation of all ceed citizens as en offset te the blackguardism of these who think they aie gentlemen when they are net.

Albert Rhems and family moved en the first of April from Puscyville, Lincaster county, te Hayesville, Chester county, Rhems having engaged te work tobacco for William Smith, near that place.
