The New Yerk Times has been favor ed with an interview en the subject of Mr. Tilden's presidential candidacy, by "an intimate friend who occupies a po sition in Mr. Tilden's circle se confiden tial and se close that his averments may be taken an substantially these of Mr. Tilden himself." The cist of the infor mation given was that since Mr. lfen dricks had reversed the position he took at the Cincinnati convention, and was new willing te serve in his former place upon the " old ticket" of Tilden and Hendricks, Mr. Tilden had revised his purpose net te take the nomination for president.and wasnowalse willing te see the old ticket set up. The correspondent of the Public Ledger says that in regard te such reports he has always heretofore endeavored te see Mr. Tilden himself, but that in view of his ill success in getting any information from that source he has had recourse in this case te ether fountains. He found that Mr. Andrew H. Green was credited with being the Time's informant ; and that it was be lieved that his statement had been pre pared under Mr. Tilden's eye and the Times selected te publish it because at present Mr. Tilden is net en friendly terms with any Democratic newspaper in New Yerk city. The Ledger corres pondent seems te have sought out Mr Green and favors us with his declaration that he is " without qualification" ad vised of Mr. Tilden's views and purposes regarding the nomination for the presi dency. Mr. Green declares that Mr. Tilden " views his public career as a matter se absolutely in the control of the public decision that he will tacitly abide the event of a renomiuatien It is his positive conviction that the time, the opportunity and the necessity for his identity with a movement for si reneini nation of the ticket which was elected by the people, but denied by their tribunes in 187;( is new at hand Understand me, Mr. Tilden can never be a candidate for eflice again until the people shall require it for the purposes of his vindication. He is net a candidate ; this is absolute. II is equally absolute that, if a demand should arise spontane ously, and the convention should renom renem inate him, he will net repeat the per senal plea presented in his great letter te the Cincinnati convention declining the nomination." That sounds very much like Mr Tilden. The manner in which the an nouncement is made is Tildenish. The conclusion reached is Tildenish, and se is the argument leading te it. There s no new development in it at all Everyone has known that Mr. Tilden would accept the presidential nemina tien if it was offered te him ; just as everyone has known that his letter de claring that lie could net accept it was read te the Cincinnati convention only when it was absolutely certain that he could net be nominated. Mr. Tilden is in the hands of the party; but the party has no further use for him as a presidential candidate ; net only because it elected him once and lest the presidency through his hesitation and timidity; but because its further enlightenment as te his character since the old ticket was set up, elected and knocked down, has net tended te a strong party desire te elect him or it again. Neither Mr. Tilden nor Mr. Hendricks enjoys that decree of estima tion in the party which once culminated in securing te them its highest honors. barker's Scheme With the possible exception of the Philadelphia Press, there is net an intel ligent and influential newspaper in the country that has given its approval te the Wharten Barker plank in the Repub lican state platform. Leading journals of both parties and these of no party bias, like the New Yerk Times, Herald, Sun and World, Baltimore JSnn, Phila delphia Times aud Recerd, and the Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette and Dispatch have condemned it as crude or crazy, impracticable or dishonest. They have agreed, tee, in construing it pre cisely as the Intelligexckr has de clared it te be, a preposition that " the United States shall raise mere revenue than it needs for its own expenses and shall divide the surplus among the states." That is exactly the plan as it was developed and explained by Mr. Barker before the state convention met ; ic was thus explained at Harrisburg en Wednesday by the managing editor of Mr. Barker's American, and it was thus understood by the convention which adopted it ; and it is upon this preposition that the Democrats will join issue with the Republicans in the pending canvass. The New Era affects te deny that this is a proper construction of the resolution, but when it undertakes te explain what it does mean, it only " darkeneth coun sel by words without knowledge." It maintains that no one proposes that the United States shall raise mere revenue than it needs for the purpose of making a distribution among the states ; while it admits that the idea is that if the tariff yields mere revenue than is neces sary "te meet the expenses of the gov ernment aud pay the public debt as it falls due," the surplus "shall be distrib uted among the several states for educa tional purposes." New the exact lan guage of the Republican resolution is this : That any surplus in the public treasury arising from a reduudant revenue should, after paying the national debt as fast as its condition permit, be distributed from time te time te the several states, upon the basis of population, te relieve them from the burdens of local taxation and pro pre vide means for the education of their people. And the exact purpose of the scheme is te maintain such high customs and internal revenue taxation as will raise a redundant revenue te be applied by the national government te the relief of the states from the burdens of local taxa. tien" for educational and ether pur poses. Such a scheme means the impesi tien of heavy taxes for purposes of what the New Yerk Times calls " centraliza tion far beyond anything heretofore proposed." It cannot even be claimed for the scheme, thait fenduce tef the protection of American industries, needing protectien: for, as we have fre quently shown, a tariff that entirely protects prevents importation and hence yields no revenue from the article that is kept out of competition with the Ameri can manufacture. That is why Mr. Barker's scheme is at once seen te be impracticable and vi sionary and is denounced as " mid sum mer madness" by nearly every intelli gent authority which has examined it. By the report of the conference com mittee made te the Heuse it seems that the position of the Democrats at Harris burg upon the question of a legislative apportionment was as fair and liberal as upon the congressional division of the state ; and that the responsibility of a disagreement, the waste of money and of time, rests with the Republicans. It .seems that the Democrats offered te accept twenty senatorial districts (which gave Democratic majorities en the last presidential vote), awarding te the Republicans the remaining thirty en the same basis ; te apportion twenty -two counties (claimed by the Republicans te be these in dispute), se as te give the Democrats and Republicans each five senators ; te give the Republicans twenty-eight senators and the Democrats twenty-two, and te give the Republicans twenty seven and the Democrats twenty-one and te leave Montgomery and Lackawanna counties as doubtful districts. All of these prepositions were approved by the Democrats and rejected by the Repub licans. Any one of them was mere than fair te the opposition. By reju"fiurr them the Republicans must ta' h odium of having been satisfied w: h nothing but a gerrymander of the state and with having made the Legislative session a failure. The governor aud his party in the Legislature have new done all that lies in their power, or is comprehended in their duty, te make " an honest, just aud true apportionment," and nothing remains but for them te appeal te the expression of popular judgment at the ballet box. When the New Yerk Sun says Mr. Tilden will net, may it be presumed te speak with mere authority than the Times which says he will ? Georgia girls are leading the world in reform. A remarkable feature at the commencement of Wesleyan female col lege, at Macen, Ga., was the beautiful simplicity of the dresses worn by the young ladies. A number of them were made by the young ladies themselves and cost from $1.50 te S3. Tkust the " boys" at Washington te beat the spelling book civil service reform Fer several weeks there has been noted in the departments a great deal of activity iu the business of filling all sorts of cleri cal positions, and it is believed that se in. dustrieusly have the appointment clerks devoted themselvcs te this task that en Monday next, when the civil service act is te take effect, there will net be a vacan cy of which netice can ba sent te the civil service commissioners. It is really unkind for the Harrisburg Telegraph te print this piece of news : The Reading Eagle states that William M. Miller, secretary of the Republican league of Berks county, has ever 1,100 names te the petition for Mr. Keim, editor of the Telegraph, te allow his name te be used for delegate te the national Repub lican convention. He also s:ys that the movement is the voluntary offering of the Republicans of Berks, that Mr. Keim has net sought the position ami knows nothing of what is going en. Fer Mr. Keim, bcin.j ens of the editors of the Harrisburg Telegraph, in which the foregoing is reprinted, will new find out "what is going en " and, of course, put a step te it. Ok the entire number of life insurance assesment companies organized under the laws of this state, 23G in all, 170 have been d-ssulved by the court in Dauphin county, seven have discontinued business, aud thirty-seven have made the report re quired te the insurance department of this state. This reckoning leaves twenty oue associations which have failed te report, aud most of these are believed te have abandoned their organization. Proceedings are still pending against some of these which have reported, and nearly all these carrying en their business with out challenge are companies of the old fashioned sort, iu business befere the spec ulative organization of this form of insu rance began.

Judge Miller has ruled that the evidence was admissible and the point well taken, say ing that certain dresses were net proper at certain times and places, as for example a ball costume in a baggage car. Mits. Langtby, her manager aud her lever, are traveling from one te another of the sea side resorts in a hotel car, in which they eat and drink and bill and coo ; and from which, when they get tired being looked at by the crowd, they sally forth te the races, the drives, the promenades or the fishing grounds. There is nothing remarkable in this, and yet the city news papers regale their readers daily with a detailed account of their movements, aud upon their arrival at Atlantic city yester day, four Philadelphia reporters, of as many different newspapers, rushed te the rear deer of the car and were apparently each supplied with a copy of a prepared interview relating hewMre.

The people et Gibraltar, a village en the railroad, a few miles from Reading, are in a high state of excitement ever a fight between brothers living there in comforta ble circumstances. Fer a long time there has been a grudge between Clarence and Geerge Haldeman. The handsorae resi dence of the former, near the station always attracts the attention of travelers. The estrangement between them was caused by a trivial dispute about the quality et stock, but no oue thought it would re6ult in mere than a suspension of conversation. The ether day Olaranee met Geerge at the hotel and accused him of having boasted of his fighting powers, and of having threatened te whip him Clarence. The brother denied the charge, but at the same time intimated that be might be prevailed en te fight. " You're afraid te fight me in the ring," said Clarence, putting his brawny fist under his brother's nose. " If yer ain't, we'll settle it right here." The bi usque challenge was promptly accepted and several Reading fishermen, who had been attracted by the neise, volunteered te act as seeeuds. One of them took the small end of his fishing red and traced a circle in the hard ground near the hotel, aud just as the sun disap peared behind a bank of clouds the impromptu pugilistic encounter began. The men had stripped te the waist and both were geed specimens of physical power. Clarence is five feet seven inches in height and weighs in the neighborhood of one hundred and seventy pounds. His brother Geerge is one inch shorter and tips the beam at oue hundred and sixty pounds. The men could scarcely wait until tiine was called, and when that mo ment did come Clarence made a vicious plunge at his brother's faee, but it only split the air, as the latter dodged. ' It was quickly followed by another that took Geerge under the chin and staggered him. This made him fierce and with an oath he rushed at his larger brother, striking right and left, and finally knocking him down with a blew en the mouth that brought bleed and receiving a closed eye himself. In the second round the brothers rushed at one another with the ferocity of tjgers, and several of the spectators wanted te separate them, but were prevented. The men in the ring fought all ever it. Geergo get in tbree stinging blows en Clarence's face and was in turn pummeled se badly about the neck and bead that his friends feared for the result of the fight. He se cured another knock down, however, by a reuud blew en the side of Clarence's head, knocking him clear off his feet and ending the round. The third round was almost a repititien of the second and both men were terribly punished, but still in deai earnest. Iu the fourth aud last round the men clutched and fell witb the heavier man en top. He was quickly rolled off, and as the two brothers lay upon the bard ground locked iu deadly embrace they engaged in a fierce struggle for supremacy. Iu the midst of it a furious thunder storm which had heen gathering broke. Tbe rain came down in torrents, but the men fought en, and it was with the greatest difficulty that they could be separated. Beth were fearfully punished, their faces beiug knocked out of shape, and both were bleeding copiously. The Reading men who acted as seconds hastily departed for home te avoid arrest. UKN BUTL.KK'3 FAUPKK3. Tne tluver nor ' Final Argument In Vie Alms house Investigation. At Bosten. Mr. Brown, in his argument for the defense in the Tewsbury investiga tion Friday, declared that it was the greatest joke of Governer Butler's life when he made the majority of tbe com mittee believe that Marsh treated them with contempt. " The governor says he can run Tewksbury for $30,000 or $70,000. Ged save the peer !" The governor, in his final argument later en, speaking of Marsh's refusal te turn ever lists of the dissected dead said : " Steal tbe inmates cash, if you will, but for heaven's sake don't steal their bodies aud keep no account of them." Again producing the tanned human skins which had been exhibited before, he said : " In the Satanic press this has been called a student's freak. I call it the Satanic press because Satan is the father of lies. These pieces came from several tanneries, and it had get te be an indus try. Shoes were made of these paupers' skins, and went en the feet of rich aiisto aiiste crats. In tbe French revolution my lord's and my lady's skins were tanned te make shoes and breeches for paupers. Let us leek out that our turn does net come, for one side will net stand skinning all the time." Further en the governor Baid : "AH has been accomplished except a single thing, that I dare net speak of thejpolit thejpelit ical objects. I was accused of political objects in this matter. Hew was I going te obtain them ? By doing my duty, I suppose. I deu't knew any ether way. Is net that a geed way te accomplish politi cal ends? I have thought it my dul" te leek out for these that have no friends. Nene of these men vote. Why, if I had been looking for vetes I could have had all the Marshes en my side in a wink. Ged has made me in one way, that I must be with the under deg in the fight, aud upon the whole I don't want te change, if 1 could." Tremendous applause and con fusion greeted tbe governor as he closed. Lest en Lehigh Mountain. William Leiser, the Allentown boy who has been missing from his home for the past four days, came trudging into Emaus, en the East Penn read, yesterday morning, looking rather seedy, his clothing tattered and bearing evidence that he had been iu the wilderness for several days. Various parties have scoured Lehigh mountain in search of the missing lad, but failed te find him, some supposing that he had run away and ethers that he had fallen into a deserted mine hole. He is rather timid and shy, and never had intimate acquaint ances. He went en the Lehigh mountain for cherries and get lest. He lived en some dry bread he had taken along for Monday's dinner, and en cherries and raspberries he picked along the read and en the moun tain. He slept under the trees several nights and one night in an old school heuse. He was half famished. Uasenall Yesterday.

Moonshine. Philadelphia Times. The Pittsburgh Dispatch, the leading Independent journal of Western Pennsyl. vania, says that Wharten Barker's surplus distribution scheme "is new the laughing stock of the intelligent press of the nation from New Yerk te San Francisce." Hew about the convention that adopted it ? Of course, it didn't mean it, but there should have been a vote of explanation saying that it was the moonshine plank of the platform. Barker's Tin Whistle. The Pittsburgh Evening Telegraph (Rep.) says that the Republican platform is net as frank as the" records of the candidates are clear, it tninks that a big mistake was made in eivine Mr. Wharten Rri,. I that tin whistle. EUDA10.T FAKTISAH.- Tae foattten ei tae ladepeBdenU en AppurUOBBBCBt - PhU'a Becerd. Senater Wallace was much censured by some of his friends for a speech which he made in Industrial ball, in this city, last October. Mr. Wallace very plainly as sorted that the leaders of the Iudepandeut revolt were no better than their Regular opponents, and that they had no higher political aims, te judge from their acts aud public declarations. He said they were fighting euly for their share of the spoils, and if they obtained control of the Republican organizi erganizi organizi tien iu Philadelphia they would need quite as much watching as the Regulars. Recent events in the Pennsylvania Senate fully vindicate Senater Wallace's superior political sagacity. It will take sharp optics te discover the difference between the Stalwarts and Independents in the Senate when it comes te violating tbe command of the constitution and cheating the Democrats in the matter of apportion jnnut. The only difference is that the Independents put en a show of conscience and virtue te cover their partisan uufairness, while the Regulars frank ly admit that they have a foul advantage and that they mean te keep it. In their extreme desire te comply with the mandate of the constitution, aud te relieve the people of the shameful gerrymander fasteued en them ten years age, the Dem ocrats have gene beyond the limits of equal apportionment. They have yielded te the Republicans, as the record shows, greater representation in Ceugress and in the state Legislature thau their opponents are entitled te in any just distribution iu accerdances with party strength. But their prepositions are rejected because the Rcpablicaus are in the enjoyment and pos session of a most dishonest gerrymander, the advantages of which they are resolved te keep. That is the precise meaning of the apportionment controversy at Hrrris burg, aud ue amount of protestation en the part of Mr. Stewart and his Independ ent associates will ebscure it from the pee pie of Pennsylvania. The partisan motives and aims of the Stalwarts and Independ ents are nearly the same. On the part of the Stalwarts it has long been inculcated that any undue advantages iu making an apportionment is within the bends of legitimate party warfare. They con struct fraudulent gerrymanders of representation because they believe and expect that the Democrats would de the saine thing en tbe first favorable opportunity. The Independents, en the ether hand, make Jeuder profess ions of political decency, but in their greater narrowness and mere intense par tisan bigotry they think they are doing tbe state sorvice by any act that would loosen the represent ttieu of the Domecr.it in Congress and the state Legislature, and thus diminish Democratic power for mischief. With them the end sanctifies the means.' Hence, marching from differ ent standpoints the Stalwarts and Inde pendents of the Senate come together in support of the existing gerrymander and in opposition te any honest plan of appor tionment that threatens it. With both wings of tbe reunited factions tbe ebliga tien te ebey the constitution must yield te the interests of party. Wharten Barker's flank. New Era. The organs who have been amusing themselves for the past two years in ridi culing Wharten Barker as a political crank and a visionary theorist in finance, were a little previous in denouncing his proposi preposi tion for the distribution of the surplus revenue of the Federal government among the states. One of the most violent phil lipics against the scheme, which appeared in a Cameren organ, was followed a few days later by Gen. Cameren expressing himself in favor of it and claiming te be the original inventor of the distribution policy. And then fellows the Republican state convention, which is claimed te be one of the best representative political bodies ever seen in the state, declaring " that any surplus iu the public treasury, arising from a reduudant revenue, should, after paying the national debt, as fast as its condition permit, be distributed from time te time te the several states upon the basis of its population, te relieve thorn from the burdens of local taxatieu, and provide means for the education of their people." On the ether hand, the Daciecratic organs seem determined te persistently misrepresent the nature of Mr. Barker's preposition. Fer example, the Iktellt gencek says, " the Republican convention of Pennsylvania has approved Mr. Whar Whar eon Barker's preposition that the United States shall raise mere revenue than it needs for its own expenses, and shall divide the surplus aneug the states." That is neither the preposition of Mr. Barker nor the meaning of the second resolution of the Republican platform, al though the Intelligence!! builds a column argument upon the false premise, which it calls midsummer madness. The point is just this : If such a traffic as is neces sary te give adequate protection te Ameri can industry yields mera revenue than is necessary te meet the current expenses of the government, and pay the pub lic debt as it falls due, the sur plus, instead of lying idle in the treasury as a standing temptation te lobbyists and river and barber jobbers, and Star Reute thieves, shall ba distributed among the several states for educational purposes. Ne one proposes that " the United States shall raise mere revenue than it needs" for the purpose of making a distribution among the states. This is the " midsum mer madness " of an organic Democratic crank. Asleep en an Knglne. English papers relate hew the signal man at Llandudno saved the Irish mail passen gers from what might have proved a terri ble fate. The signal man at the junction received a message from the signal man at Conway, the next station toward Holy Hely bead, that a light engine was cemiusr. The junction signal man, knowing that the Irish mail was due, decided te ruu the en gine into a siding in order te permit the express te pass. He accordingly put up all the signals against the light engine, but te his extreme astonishment the en gine came straight into the junction at full speed, swept around the corner, dash ing past all the danger signals and disap peared from view down the line toward Chester. A moments reflection con vinced the signal man that both driver and stoker must be asleep. He accordingly wirodte the Celwyn Bay ntatieu signal man" Engine coming ; driver asleep ; put fog signals en line." The man at Celvin Bay was equally prompt, for run ning out of his box, he had hardly time te lay a number of signals when the enirine came thundering along and an explosion followed which effectually awoke the men. The engine was stepped and run back into a siding, when it was discovered that the water had disappeared from the beiler and that the men had been asleep for some lime. Inquiry resulted in their i mediate discharge. They had been fifteen hours ou duty. A Ball of Fire Frem a Cloud. At New Lets, N.

Samuel C. Cellins, of tbe type found ers firm Cellins & MeLeester, whose sudden decease was reported from Phila delphia yesterday, came te his death early in the morning and a very few minutes after the first notice of his illness. He wa3 well known in Laucaster ; was about 54 years age ; a very large, stout, and powerful built man, and except his heart trouble, had always enjoyed freedom from disease. He was active in politics as a reform Republican and a Masen of high degree. Chakles F. Adams, jii., says : "I never suggested that Greek and Latin should be ' set aside for French and Ger man in college and school.' I never sug gested anything which could be construed into this ; en the contrary, I should oppose it most earnestly. What I did venture te suggest was simply that Greek alene should no longer be a compulsory require ment for admission te college. I never proposed te set it aside. I particularly and carefully said that I would encourage its study by putting a heavy educational bounty en it ; but I did ask that it should no longer be exacted from these who, like myself and all the members of my family, were unfortunately unable te acquire it." m The Pennsylvania Republicans and Their Crazy flat form Itroeklyn Union, Republican journal of .Leng Island. It is stated in the platform as fellows : "That any surplus in the public treasury aris;ng from a redundant revenue should, after paying the national debt as fast as its condition 'permits, be distributed from time te time, te the several states, upon the basis of population, te relieve them from the burden of local taxation, and provide means for the education of their people." With an annual surplus of $100,000,000, after satisfying the demands of the sink ing fund, it would thus be possible te give each state a grant, in round numbers, te $2 per head of its population. Under such a distribution New Yerk would be entitled te $10,000,000 an amount greatly iu ox ex cess of the annual state tax levied in any of the last eight years. Any one familiar with the hiBtery of the administration of the United States deposit fund in this state would view with horror the prospect of its participating in a fresh division of national bounty, and no one who reflects en the stimulus te extravagance and cor ruption which would be given by releasing the Legislature from any direct responsi bility te the taxpayers, will doubt that no worse use cau be found for the " redun dant revenue" of the United States than its diversion into state treasuries. uesht New Yerk Sun. Our esteemed contemporary, the New Yerk Times, has been imposed upon. It publishes a long interview with an alleged "old and intimate friend of Mr. Tilden." The purport of this interview is that Mr. Tilden is still willing te be nominated for president by the Democratic party. This is bosh. It is net true. There is nothing in it. It is a mare fabrication. There is no foundation for it. There is no sound reason .for saying it, for writing it, or for printing it.
