Thb wish' is father te the thought in the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, when it predicts division in the Deme cratic party because the chairman of the Democratic state committee, who was a delegate'te the late Democratic conven tion in this county, secured the striking out of the words " in each and every particular," in a resolution offered en dersing the state administration. We -entirely concur in Mr. Hensel's judg ment that these words were improperly inserted. The convention was unani mously of that opinion and struck them out without a dis-l senting voice. The party in the! state will have the same view, because r its members are wise men and net feels, as the Telegraph would make them out te be.- It displays a remarkably low opin ion of the geed sense of Governer Pat Pat tisen in supposing that he would have the slightest inclination te consider as an insult a refusal by bis party te endorse his acts " in each and every particular.1 The resolution as passed by the Lancas ter convention was as bread as any that has been passed by any Democratic con ventien in the state, and as bread as it could be made with self-respect by the delegates. It is far mere complimentary te the administration of Governer Patti son in its present shape than it would be if the words erased had been retained; because new it is sincere and will be se recognized. It will be seen that the Democracy of Lancaster county say what they mean, no mere and no less. When they declare their approval of Governer Pa'tisen's administration in its essential acts, they leave room for the entertain nientef such different individual opin ions, as te matters of miner importance, such as every self-respecting man in a parly must have. The Intelligencer has given t Governer Pattison's administration its very general approval. Seme of its acta it lias criticised and disapproved. It does net consider it te be the duty of any honest friend of anybody te appreye everything that friend does, for friend ship's sake. It does net believe it te be its duty te approve everything done by the Democratic governor or Legislature, or even the chairman of the state com mittee, though he be one of its editors. Every public man, according te its view, is subject te its judgment in his official acts, though he be of its party or its household or its cherished friends. It holds its judgment in public matters ever its friends as well as its enemies, and tries te be just and true in its con victions and deliverances as te the acts of both. This, in its opinion, is the duly of the citizen as well as of the editor, who has only greater responsibility for his utterances because of the greater publicity given them and the wider reach they have. In our view, the individual member of a political party is net only net bound te approve everything done by his party, but. in fact he would be likely te be a very peer citizen if he did. A party requires for its greatest strength the sup pert of its men and measures in their general work and scope, but an intelli gent and free criticism of them, thai, they may be made te run with the best considered current of public opinion. We think that we cau assure tin Evening Telegraph with very great con fidence that Governer Pattison has net thought of feeling insulted ever the re fusal of the Lancaster convention te approve his ' each and every " act. He knows that they would net have told the truth if they had done it, since the In telligencer has sometimes disap proved his acts ; aud the Intelligen cer speaks for the people with a free voice. The Democratic Heuse of He presentatives might, with as geed reason, feel itself insulted by the sharp criticism and strong disapproval which the In telligencer te day expresses for its adoption of what in our judgment is a clearly unconstitutional and indefensible judicial apportionment bill. We think it wrong. We sec in it evidence that it has net been framed with an eye single te the public geed, but tint it has been distorted by considerations of private advantage We say what we think with the boldness of a deep conviction and a clear conscience. We advise our party according te our honest convictions ; and when we ce:ise te be able te de that we will quickly descend from our editor ial places. The Judicial Apporflenment. In the state Senate yesterday me3t el the Democrats showed a disposition te support the judicial apportionment re ported from the conference committees, while the leading Republicans and most of them evinced an opposition te it ; in the Heuse it passed by a merely consti tutional majority, mostly made up of Democrats, though some of the strongest leaders of the party in that body were opposed te it ; it was announced by Mr. Amerman, who has reason te knew, that if enacted the governor would likely sign the bill ; and ether friends of the measure declared that Attorney General Cassidy held it te be constitutional, and the fact that Mr. Wallace, as one of the conference committee, assented te it, proves that he holds a similar view. Many members who support it de se under pretest, and only upon tiie ground that it is less vielative of the constitu tion than the act of 1S74, aud less objec tionable than the existing apportion ment. The argument that it increases the number of judicial districts is met with the statement that where new sin gle districts are made, the office of asso ciate lay judge is abolished and a cerres pending saving in salaries is thus ef fected. The subject of judicial apportion ment is one that has net ad mitted of a division of the Legislature en party lines, and it has net been re garded as such an issue this session. Lecal and personal considerations have .prevailed te maintain or create the un necessary judgeships ; constitutional grounds,a regard for sound public policy and for the character of the judiciary, have inspired the opposition. Xevertbe- less, if the pending bill becomes a law it can be only by such a support or it by the Democratic law-makers as will im pose upon them the larger share of responsibility for it. We de net believe they should assume it. It will be remembered that no act of Governer Heyt's administration com manded for him the mere hearty appre batien of the better element of his own party and the mere unanimous approval of the Democracy than his veto of the j udicial apportionment of 1881. It is net true, as has been asserted, that the pending bill is as objectionable, nor that it se flagrantly violates the letter and spirit of the constitution as the bill of 1881. But some of the most objectionable features which Gov. Heyt pointed out, and upon which he based his veto of that bill disfigure the present pending mea sure. Gov. Heyt held and based his opinion upon the deliverance of Chief Justice Agnew. father-in-law of the present judge of Beaver county that the constitution did net permit a county te be erected with a separate judicial district, unless it had 40,000 population ; and yet the pending bill, like that which Gov. Heyt disapproved, makes a separ ate district of Beaver, with less than the constitutional population. The governor then likewise intimated that the relation of Adams and Fulton, twenty miles apart, as the crew flies, and thrice as widely separated by lack of railroad communication, wa3 net of that "convenient" character command ed by the constitution. The Wyoming and Sullivan district we have already animadverted upon ; while the assign ment of two judges te Lawrence and Butler, with one te be resident in Law rence, is practically making the single district which the Heuse has already this session refused te de ; and which could easily be obviated by attaching Lawrence te Beaver. The adoption by the Virginia Deme, crats of the Ohie plank en the tariff indi cates that that declaration will be the meeting ground of the Democracy of the country next year. Henry Ward Beecher risea up te in form an anxious public that he is a '' cor dial Christian evolutionist." The sus pense in which the nation new remains is mere dreadful than before. The twenty years' sentence of default ing State Treasurer Polk has the ring of true metal about it. Jersey justice must leek te its laurels, else Tennessee will be in the van in meting out te criminals their deserts.

Oscar Fay Adams. The Philadelphia North American, stiff necked Republican organ that it is, declares that in the rejection by the Republican Senate of the Stewart congressional ap portionment bill they have given the Democrats " an opportunity te beast with considerable force, that they met the Re publicans half way and therefore that they cannot be held responsible for the fruit- lu.istKSB of the extra sessions. A special agent sent by the interior departmeut te investigate alleged frauds iu elections recently held by the Seneca Indians in New Yerk state will report that ' a few of the Indians sold their votes for ten and twenty cents te the victorious party," and that " this caused the mineri te complain." lie thinks, however, that; " in spite of these facts the interior de partment has net the right te declare the election void." Give the peer Indian a cbauce. State Senater Lee cannot expect the Democratic state press te give him any further credit for political fairness and frankness. It is understood that he had expressed himself in favor of the Stewart congressional apportionment, which the Democrats yesterday supported, and he haid that if he were net paired he would have voted for it. But the fact is that he was paired with Senater Hall, a Democrat who, had he been present, would also have vet'd for it. Sanater Lee's subterfuge is " tee thin.'" Editor Mett, of the Trenten Times, has stirred up a storm of indignation in Trenten by an article cjmmenting en the new child -labor law in New Jersey, whieh prohibits the employment of young girls in factories. He animadverted very severely ou the demoralizing intluence of factories and asserted that " could the records of fallen maidens be read.it would ba found that a majority of theso who have become outcasts from society and habitues of houses of ill-fame were once employed iu factories, mills, or shops." The factory girls bitterly denounce the attack and the female empleyes of one establishment have signed a paper te the effect that they will boycott all merchants aud storekeepers who patronize the erring journal. Meney Matter. A Bosten syndicate of real estate ewneis at Newport, Rhede Island, has sold te a New Yerker "all the spare land and some ether," at the Eastern Point, purchased a few years age of the Gibbs land company at four cents per feet. The greater portion of the land commands a magnifloient view. About 20 acres had been sold. It is believed that the consideration which is kept secret is in the neighborhood of 18 cents per feet for the whole. Bids were opened yesterday in Baltimore for $131,000 of 4 per cent, city bends, te run until 1925, for the use of the Western Maryland railroad. The bids aggregated $1,182,800, at premiums ranging from 2$ te 10 per cent. The finance department of the city was the highest bidder, and the bends will be added te the sinking fund. The 121st call for the redemption of bends was issued yesterday afternoon by the secretary of the treasury. It embraces as anticipated all the outstanding 3 per eents net offered for exchange. Terrible Dnel With Htcbterks. In a duel with pitchforks in a house at High Greve, Nelsen county Ky., between two farm laborers, both are believed te have been mortally wennded. Their names are Daniel Wilkes, colored, and Jehn McDougal, white. They were working together and get into a quarrel which they desired te fight out. Wilkes procured a long handled .two pronged fork and McDougal a short handled one with four prongs'. They fought it out alone and both are likely te die without being able te describe the contest. BUCHAN AM BIOGEAPEY CURTIS' 1.1115 or THX KX-l-KESIDENT. Buchanan as Uwjtr, Hmbw of Congress, Minister te Keala, Senater anil President. Gee. Ticknor Curtis' life of Buchanan is published te day. It was at first designed that the life of Buchanan should be writ ten by his personal frfend, Mr. W. B. Reed, of Philadelphia. When he was pre vented from the work. Judge Jehn Cad- walader was invited te -undertake the task, but his death came before the work was begun. In that way Mr. Curtis was re .quested te write the life, and consented. In its preparation he has been largely aid ed by and he has copiously drawn from Mr. Buchanan's own diaries, letters and volum inous papers se that it is in many respects an autobiography. It faithfully fellows the successive stages of his public career, with which our readers are familiar, and some of the most notable portions of the person al history of Mr. Buchanan whieh it con tains are of his own narration. Buchanan speaks of his father as a man of "great native feres of character." Of his metner, he says : "My metner, con sidering her limited opportunities in early life, was a remarkable woman. The daughter of a country farmer, engaged in household employment from early life until after my father's death, she yet found time te read much and te reflect deeply en what she read. She had a great fondness for poetry, and could repeat with ease all the passages in her favorite authors which struek her faney. These were Milten, Pepe, Yeung, Cewperand Thomsen. I de net think, at least until a late period of her life, she had ever read a criticism en any one of these authors, and yet such was the correctness of her natural taste that she had selected for herself, and could repeat every passage in them whieh has been admired. " She was a sincere and devoted Chris tian from the time et my earliest recellec tien, and had read much en the subject of theology ; and what she read once she re membered forever. Fer her sons, as they successively grew up, she was a delightful and instructive companion. She would argue with them, and often gain the vic tory ; ridicule them in any felly or eccen tricity ; excite their ambition by present ing te them in glowing colors men who had been useful te their country or their kind as objects of imitation, aud enter into all their joys and sorrows. Her early habits of laborious industry she could net ba induced te forego whilst she bad any thing te de. My father did everything he could te prevent her from laboring in her domestic concerns, but it was all in vain." Insubordination at College. In 1807 young James was Bent te Dick insen college, where. owing te a lack of efficient discipline, he fell into trouble. He says of himself : "Without much na tural tendency te become dissipated, and chiefly from the example of ethers, and in order te be considered a clever and a spir ited youth, 1 engaged in very sort of ex travagance and misebiet in whieh the greatest preficients of the college indulged. Unlike the rest of this class however, I was always a tolerably bard student, and never was deficient in my college exer cises." He narrowly escaped expulsion and was denied honors at graduation, the faculty deciding that it would nave a bad tenden cy te honor a student who bad sbewn se little respect for ruljs and professors, Buchanan was greatly mortified at being denied an honor which it was admitted he deserved, and left college with but little attachment toward his alma mat er. Of the next period of his life Buchanan says : " I came te Lancaster te study law with the late Air. Hepkins in the month of December, 1809, and was admitted te practice in November, 1812. I determined tbat if severe application would make me a geed lawyer I should net fail in this particular, and I can say, with truth, that 1 nave never known a harder student tban I was at that period of my life. I studied law, and nothing but law, or what was essentially connected with it. I took pains te understand thoroughly, as lar as i was capable, everything which I read ; and in order te fix it upon my memory and give myself the habit of extempore speaking, I almost every evening took a lonely walk and embodied the ideas which I had ac quired during the day in my own language. This gave me a habit of extempore speak ing, and that net mei ely words, but things. I derived great improvement from this practice." His first public address was made in 1814, seen after the capture of Washing ten by the British, and in October of that year he was elected te the Heuse. At that time, Philadelphia was threatened by the British, and the Legislature was busy with plans for its protection, which happily the uews of the peace rendered needless. He was re elected iu 1815, when he distin guished himself iu financial debates, re lating te the suspension of specie pay ments in Pennsylvania. After this sec ond term he appears te have determined te devote himself entirely te his profes sion, which he followed with grent suc cess. His career in Congress, minister te St. Petersburg, senatorial services and presi dential administration are all faithfully sketched and enlivened by much interest ing correspondence. Mr. Curtis' statement of difficulties by which the four years of Mr. Buchanan's administration were surrounded and of the problems, perplexing and grave, which forced themselves into angry prominence during the months immediately preceding Mr. Lincoln's inauguration, is lucid and forcible. The chapter, however tbat is of greatest personal and local interest is that which relates te Mr. Buchanan's early love and disappointment and we reprint that in full. BUCHANAN'S LOVE. Sad Death et Miss Annle C. Celeman. With au honorable and distinguished professional career thus opening before him, a favorite in society both from his talents and his character, young, high spirited and full of energy, it seemed that happiness had been provided for him by his own merits and a kind Providence. But there new occurred an episode in his life which cast upon him a never ending sorrow. He became engaged te be mar ried te a young lady in Lancaster, who has been described te me, by persons who knew her, as a very beautiful girl, of singularly attractive and gentle dispesi tien, out retiring ana S3nsitive. tier father, Rebert Celeman, esq., a wealthy citizen of Lancaster, entirely approved of the engagement. After this connection had existed for seme time, she suddenly wrote a note te her lever and asked him te release her from the engagement. There is no reason te believe that their mutual feelings had in any degree changed. He could only reply that if it was her wish te put an end te their engagement, he must submit. This occurred in the latter part of the summer of 1819. The young lady died very suddenly, while en a visit te Philadelphia, en the 9th of the December following, in the twenty-third year of her age. Her remains were brought te her father's house in Lancaster, en the next Saturday, just one week from the day en which she left home. "The funeral," says the diary already quoted from, "took place the next day, and was attended bv a great number of the inhabitants, who appeared te feel a deep sympathy with the family en this distressing occasion." Frem the same source I transcribe a little obituary notice, which was publish ed in a Lancaster paper en the 11th of December, and which the diary states was written by Mr. Buchanan : "Departed this life, en Thursday ssorn ssern ing last, in the 23 year of her age, while en a visit te her friends in Phfiadelphia, Miss Annie C. Celeman, daughter of Rebert Celeman, esquire, of this city. It rarely falls te our let te shed a tear ever the mortal remains of one se much and se deservedly loved as was the deceased. She was everything which the fondest parent or fondest friend could have wished her te be Although she was young and beauti ful, and accomplished, and the smiles of fortune shone upon her, yet her native modesty and worth made her unconscious of her own attractions. Her heart was the seat of all the softer virtues which en noble and dignify the character of woman. She has new gene te a world where in the besom of her Ged she will be happy with congenial spirits. May the memory of her virtues be ever green in the hearts of her surviving friends. May her mild spirit, which en earth still breathes peace and geed will, be their guardian angel te pre serve them from the faults te which she was ever a stranger " The solder's most attenuated thread Is cord, is cable te a man's tender tie en earthly bliss-it breaks at every breeze.'" The following letter, written by Mr. Buchanan te the father of the young lady, is all that remains of written evidenee te attest the depth of his attachment te her : James uuchanan te .Rebert Geleraan.ISaq. Lancaster. December 10, 1819. My Dear Sir : Yeu have lest a child, a dear, dear child. I have lest the only earthly object of my affections, without whom life new presents te me a dreary blank. My prospects are all cut off, and I feel that my happiness will be buried with her in the grave. It is new no time for explanation, but the time will come when you will discover that sue, as weu as i, have been much abused. Ged forgive the authors of it. My feeling of resentment against them, whoever they may he, are buried in the dust. I have new ene re quest te make, and, for the love of Ged and of your dear, departed daughter, whom I loved infinitely mere than any ether human being could love, deny me net. Afford me the melancholy pleasure of seeing her body befere its interment. I would net for the world be denied this request. 1 might make another, but, from the misrepresentations which must have been made te you, I am almost afraid. I would like te fellow her remains te the grave as a mourner. I would like te con vince the world, and I hope yet te convince you, that she was infinitely dearer te me than life. I may sustain the shock of her death, but I feel that happiness has fled from me forever. The prayer which I make te Ged without ceasing i?, that I yet may be able te show my veneration for the memory of my dear departed saint by my respect and attachment for her sur viving friends. May heaven bless you and enable you te bear the shock witu the lertttude et a Christian. I am, forever, your sincere and grateful friend, James Buchanan. In the course of Mr. Buchanan's long subsequent political career, this incident in his early life was often alluded te in that species of literature called "campaign documents, ' accompanied by many per versions and misrepresentations These publications are each and all unworthy of netice. Un one occatien, alter no had re tired te Wheatland, and after he had passed the age of seventy, he was shown by a friend a newspaper article, misrepre senting, as usual, the details el tms atiair. He then said, with deep emotion, that thete were papers and relics which be bad religiously preserved, then in a sealed package in a place of deposit in the city of New Yerk, which would explain the trivial origin of this separation. His executers found these papers inclesed and sealed separately from all ethers, and with a direction upon thorn in his handwriting that they wero te be destroyed withput being read. They obeyed tbe injunction and burnt the package without breaking the seal. It happened, however, tbat the original of the letter addressed by Mr. Buchanan te the young lady's father be fore her funeral wax net contained in this package. It was found iu his private depositaries at Wheatland, and it came there in consequence of the fact that it was returned by the father unread and un opened. It is new known that the separation of tbe levers originated in a misunderstand ing, en the part el the lady, el a very small matter, exaggerated by giddy and indiscreet tongues, working en a peculiarly sensitive nature. Such a separation, the commonest of oceurrencas, would have ended, in the ordinary course, in reconcili ation, when the parties met, if death had net suddenly snatched away one of the sufferers and left the ether te a life-long grief. But under the circumstances I feel bound te be governed by the spirit of Mr. Buchanan's written instruction te his ex ex ecueors and net te go into the details of a story which show that the whole occur rence was chargeable en the felly of ethers, and net en either of the two whose in terests were involved. Among the few surviers of the circle te which this young lady belonged, the remembrance of her sudden death is still fresh in aged hearts. The estrangement of the levers was but ene of these com mon occurrences that are perpetually verifying the saying, hackneyed by ever lasting repetition, that " the course of true love never did run smooth." But it ran, in this case, pure and un broken in the heart of tbe survivor, through a long and varied life It became a grief that could net be spoken of ; te which only the most distant allusion could be made ; a sacred, unceasing sor row, buried deep iu the breast of a man who was formed for domestic joys ; bid den beneath manners that wero most en gaging, beneath strong social tendencies and a chivalrous old-fashioned deference te woman of all ages and all claims. His peculiar and reverential demeanor towards the sex, never varied by rank, or station or individual attractions, was dcJfcfc1d iu a large degree caused by the tender mem ory of what he had found, or fancied, in her whom he had lest in his early days by such a cruel fate. If her death had net prevented their marriage, it is probable tbat a purely professional and domestic life would have filled up the measure alike or his happiness and his ambition. It is certain that this occurrence prevented him from ever marrying and impelled him again into public life after he had once resolved te quit. Soen after this catastrophe he was offered a nomination te a scat in Congress. He did net suupess that he could be elect ed, and he did net much de3ire te be. But he was strongly urged te accept the can didacy, and finally consented, chiefly because he needed an innocent excitement that would sometimes distract him from the grief that was destined never te leave him. Great and uninterrupted, however, as was his political and social success, he lived and died a widow and childless man. Fortunately for him, a sister's child, left an orphan at an early age, whom he edu cated with the wisest care, filled te him the place of a daughter as nearly and tan -derly as such a relative could supply that want, adorning with womanly accomplish ments and virtues the high public stations te which he was eventually called. These and ether papers of Importance were sent by Mr. Buchanan from Wheatland te a hank In New Tork during the civil war. when Pennsylvania was threatened with au inva sion by the Confederate troop;.

Sharp Passages la tae Bence and Seaate The Judicial Apportionment Wrangle A Marrow KUcape Adjourning for Tbree Feil Days. Mr. Maefarlane reported the Heuse (Stewart) congressional apportionment bill from committee with a negative recom mendation. Mr. Wallace moved te place the bill en the calendar. Mr. Gorden pleaded for favorable con sideration of the motion, and said it was net a Democratic bill in any sense. It was Republican in conception, in motive and intent, but it had been accepted and passed by a Democratic Heuse. If the Senate would new accept the bill as it passed the Heuse, the session would be speedily brought te an end. He urged all the Democratic senators te vote for Mr. Wallace's motion and pass the bill finally, if the Republican senators would accept it. Mr. Lantz objected te the bill because it proposed te absorb the Lebanon county Republican vete by the Democratic ma jerity of Berks, te which that county was attached, hie said the Dill was uniair in many ether respects, and be hoped the report of the committee would be sustain ed by refusing te place the bill en the calendar. Mr. Hess in a lengthy appeal te the Re publican senators, asked them te join the Democrats in passing the bill proposed te be placed en the calendar. He favored setting aside all former theories of appor tionment and act in a practical business like manner, which could be demonstrated by passing the Stewart bill. Mr. Mefarlane contended that all the concessions that had been offered came from the Republicans, and the Democratic position te-day is exactly the same as it was at the early part of the session, whieh was te give rhe Republicans 17 congress men and the Democrats 11. It was felly, he said, te talk of abandoning all theories in an apportionment, right or wrong, as suggested by Mr. Hess, and that when he once believed a theory te ba correct he would support it in the face of all opposi tion. Mr. Davies opposed placing the bill en the calendar, because the measure was unfair and unjust. He contended that all concessions had come from the Republi cans, and that the Democrats indulged in the hope that by keeping the Legislature in session some Judas might be found in the Republican ranks te create a divisen in the solid phalanx of thirty Republican senators who were opposed te the bill. Mr. Gorden said he could see no objee tien te the bill the districts were con tiguous, compact and relatively equal in population. He asserted that eight Republicans at various stages of the present session (four in the Senate and four in the Heuse) had favored the Stewart bill, and said he felt certain that these eight would rapidly grew into many times ' that number until an apportionment was passed. He added that the Legislature would be kept at Harrisburg until the law was complied with. Mr. Stewart, referring te this remark, said he regretted that an arbitrary execu tive should attempt te take direet issue with the people. " I will resist," he con tinued, "any or all invasions of the peo ple's rights, by an arbitrary executive, who would attempt under the guise of a great constitutional protector te coerce this Legislature te de wbat cannot be dene." He hoped the vote te place the bill en the calendar would be net only significant but decisive, and when it should be taken let it be understood distinctly that all further useless argument will cease, and an early adjournment fellow. Mr. Herr said the subject had already been worn threadbare. It was the heighth of felly te continue a debate which would be as feeble and idle as the winds that blew ever a barren surface. The vote te he taken was te be accepted as decisive, and that Democratic hopes would never be realized by the passage of a bill which vain hope dictated might result from Democratic threats. He closed by spying that the Republican senators would net desert their positions until the angel, with ene feet en the sea and one en land, de clared tbat time was no mere. After further discussion by Messrs. Hughes and Sutten, the Senate refused te place the bill upon the calendar by the fol lowing vote : Yeas Messrs. Biddis, Emery, Gorden, Hart, Henninger, Hess, Humes, Kennedy, King, Laird, Nelsen, Ress, Stuart, Sutten, Yandegrift, Wagner, Wallace and Wel- verten 18. Nays Messrs. Beggs, Cooper, Davies, Greer, Harlan, Herr, Hughes, Keefer, Lantz, Lengenecker, MeCracken, Mo Me Knight, Reyburn, Sill, Smiley, Smith, Stehman, Upparman and Mylin 19. The following named senators ware paired. Pairs Messrs. Patten and Adams, Lee and Hall, Shearer and Anil. Humes and Grady. Senators Emery and Stewart voted with the Democrats. At the afternoon session the judicial apportionment was considered and the Senate decided that the conference com mittee had net exceeded its powers in making the bill. Stewart, Cooper, Hughes and McUracken expressed opposition te the bill ; Wallace held it te be constitu tional. Before final action was taken the Sen ate adjourned until Monday evening next at 0 o'clock. Heube or Uepreaentatlves. The Hense agreed te appoint a new committee en legislative apportionment and Speaker Faunce named Messrs Mc Crum and Blackford, (Democrats) and Lee and Thompson (Republican). Mr. Ziegler offered the following : Resolved (;f the Senate concur), That a coinmittee, con Bisting of five senators and five members of the Heuse, be appointed, and denom inated a free conference committee, whose drtTt shall be te take into consideration 'the subject matter of organizing and de fining the congressional districts of the state, as contemplated by law, and report by bill or otherwise, said committee te be governed in their action by the parliamen tary rules governing free committees of conference." The resolution was agreed te and sent te the Senate where it was buried. The judieial apportionment bill then being made the subject of debate, it was opposed by Messrs. Denly, Spenaler, Har ris, Sharpe, Ziegler, Emery and Bullitt because it was flagrantly in violation of the constitution. Mr. Ammerman de fended it, and said he did net consider it unconstitutional, and he felt certain that the executive wenld approve the bill. The Heuse refused te recommit it te the con ference committee, and a vote being had en the report it was found that 08 votes were cast for it three less than the neces sary constitutional majority. By dint of hard work ene mere vote, that of Higgins,'- of Schuylkill, was se cured, and it was cast amid the objections of twenty members, who were en their feet vociferating that Higgins had no right te vote under the rules. Parkhill, of Allegheny, then changed from no te aye and this made a hundred. McCrum, of Crawford, who bad voted "no," as he claimed, for the purpose of moving a re consideration, then asked leave te change. Bullitt challenged his right te de se and inquired whether he voted under a misap prehension. MeCrum did net reply and the speaker said it was presumed he voted under a misapprehension. This did net satisfy Bullitt, and be persisted in re peating the question and demanding an answer, the speaker rapping vig--oreusly with his gaval meanwhile. Finally McCrum said that he had voted under a usaspreMBSioe. as be thought the bM would de defeated, and lie desired te move a reeonsklexatlen. This was net satisfactory te Bullitt and his sympath izers and they expressed their dissent. The speaker rapped them down. Mc- Crum's vote was counted, making the constitutional number. The bill had passed and the Heuse adjourned until Monday evening. TWO VIEWS OF IT. The Lancaster County Keaolutien en taa State AamlnlatraUeB. Philadelphia Evening Telf graph. Chairman Hensel has given Chairman Cooper a first class bit of campaign mater ial whieh the latter will net fail te make the most of. The Democratic county con ventions held te elect delegates te the coming state convention have uniformly and with enthusiasm unequivocally endor sed the administration of Governer Patti son, but yesterday Manager Hensel sud denly called a halt, and alter a remarkable speech in the Lancaster convention secur ed the adoption of "an amended " resolution of endorsement of the executive whieh will be rightfully interpreted as a grudging,critical,and half-hearted vote of confidence in the administration at the most. The speech and resolution will be quickly and justly interpreted by the Re publican and Independent press of the state as an attempt te cieate and maintain division in the Democratic party, and that will certainly will be the logical result of the performance, whether deliberately4 se intended or net. It will be forcibly pointed out that such action en the part of Chair man Hensel was entirely unnecessary. Even if he attempted, but unsuccessfully, te prevent the offering of the resolution in the shape presented, he could have had it amended without making a public exhibi tion of hisself made quarrel with the governor. But the ugly record is there, and it will sorely plague the Democratic party of the state and fearfully burden it in the contest jnst ahead. If the matter is brought up in the state convention in an attempt te censure and remove the chair man of the campaign committee, the result will be disastrous te the party and its or ganization. If this is net done the real triendsofthe administration cannot be expected te pocket such an insult and take off their coats te aid the chairman wne tnus attempts te ride ever everybody with whom he does net agree. Only one thing can make peace, and that will net occur. Mr. Hen sel will never publicly apeligize for his conduct. It is an affair ever which the Democrats can breed te their hearts' content, and one which the Republican party can contemplate with the utmost serenity. In fact, it almost ensures the election of the Republican state ticket in November next. Chairman Cooper can go ahead and drive the wounded Demo cratic stag te the water. When the chair man of a Democratic state committee in Pennsylvania elects his ticket without the active co operation of the party friends of a Democratic administration, the cli max of political wonders will have been reached. Indiscreet Zeal. Philadelphia Recerd. The advice te a young diplomatist net te exhibit "tee much zeal!" applies quite as well te a politician. When a zealous delegate in the Laneaster county Democratic convention offered a resolution indorsing the acts of the present state administration in "each and every par ticular," and "especially" in regard te the extra session, Sir. chairman Hoasel very properly moved that the " each and every particular" be struck out. This was done, and a very proper and manly resolution stands, in which tbe state association is indorsed and the courageous action of the governor in defense of the constitution and the rights of representation sustained. The original resolution did net leave enough room for necessary friction. It savored, tee, of that extreme and unreasoning par tisan spirit that is net in harmony with these times. The amended resolution is a geed one, and the administration is mere sincerely commended by it tban if it had been left in its original shape. The Resolution as UtTered. "Resolved, That we heartily endorse the acts of the present Democratic state admin istratien in each and every particular, and especially commend the governor in his action in standing by the constitution in calling an extraordinary session of the Legislature for apportionment purposes."

An eye witness who saw the accident, heard the train approaching and saw the engineer reach for the whistle cord at the gas works.

The affair has caused great excitement in the borough and hundreds of people have visited the scene of the accident. Dr. J. L. Ziegler, who arrived tbere a few minutes after the accident, was ou his way home from a visit in the country. He was between the railroad crossing at the west end of town and the tollgate when the train rushed by. He heard the engine whistle for the crossing aud again when the engineer gave the danger whiBtle. The Corener's Inquest.

Farttcnlara of t&e Tragedy. A representative of the Intellieencer, who went te Mt.Jey this morning, learned the following particulars of the terrible accident : Henry Welsh, his wife, aud a neighbor girl named Alice Swords intended going blaekberrying. Welsh hitched up his horse and wapen, and tbe party having provided themselves with lunch, left Welsh's house en Denegal street for a day's berrying. They intended te cress the railroad at its junc tion with Fairview and Hopewell streets, in the western part of the bor ough In driving along Fairview street. -the cars cannot be seen until the driver is within a few yards of, the track. I& seems that Welsh thought-he could, clear the track before the trai$rsachLhim, as the engineer declares Msmbj- whipped up his horse aud drovfTlfapen the track after the warnings uigrial was sounded. The train was .running very fast, probably fertymiles an hour. The cowcatcher caught the team jnst between the horse and the front wheels of the covered wagon te which it was hitched. The horse was horribly cut up and killed, being thrown clear out of the harness, ou the north side of the track. The wagon was crushed te pieces and Mrs. Welsh was thrown for a distance of twenty yards, into the gutter en the south side of the track. Mi is Swords was thrown a few yards further. When picked up Miss Swords was dead, and Mrs. Welsh barely alive She was heard te utter the wet da " My Ged," and died in a few minutes afterwards. Mr. Welsh, with a part of the wrecked wagon, was carried upon the cow catcher for a distance of ene third of a mile. It is net known whether he was killed by the collision or net. Jacob Shrite says he saw him clinging te a part of the wagon and he thinks he was alive until the wreck struek a beard walk at tbe depot which partially detached it and Welsh fell te the track and was dragged from the depot te a point oppo site Landis' coach works, where the train stepped. When picked up he was dead, his skull being horribly frae tured and his legs broken in several places. A young man named Pyle, who is telegraph operator in the tower at the depot, says he believes Welsh was dead before he reached tbat point. He says that his body seemed limp, his head was thrown back and his arms were hanging down as if they were powerless. The three dead bodies were carried into a carpenter shop near the scene of the accident, and were laid side by side.
