Au appropriation for tlie roller of the itiffereru by the Ohie flood was voted nearly unanimously In the Ilouse nf ter an animated but very one-sided discus discus iilen, caused by the speech of Mr. Illr Illr ceck, of New Yerk, who wondered why his Democrntle associates, Messrs. Eaten and Cox, strict censtruers of the con titutlen, did net object te tlie appropri ation aa net warranted by that instru ment. He himself had nesuch censtitu tienal objection te the vote, but he thought that Ohie should be ashamed te ask for national charity when she was a great empire In herself, and amply able te take care of her unfortunates. None of Mr. Hlsceck's fellow membera seemed te sympathize with this rlew ; although it strikes us as a very senslble one. The $500,000 asked from Congress could well be spared out of the phletheric treasury; but still It was undoubtedly mean for Ohie members te ask for It, as her Legislature la In session, nud the state ought te be tee proud te nsk for aid from the treasury of the nation. Cincinnati very creditably declares her self able and willing te take care of her own people, and certainly Ohie ought te be ready te provide for the rest of her sufferers. As Congress was nppealcd te for aid few membera felt like refusing it ; they would toss their coppers te the beg gar even though doubtful whether he was worthy. Messrs. Cox and Eaten, though proclaiming their constitutional doubts, declared that they would let their hearts overrulo their heads. It was very well. It was hardly an occasion en which te debate fine constitutional questions. Many people were suffering under a sudden calamity, aud it was nec essary that they should have speedy help from seme quarter. When this exigency is ever it will be the duty of Congress te in lulre why we are visited with these great flood , and whether there la anyway of avoiding them or of protection te these who live upon the river banks from their effects. Certainly, If such Heeds continue te come with their late frequency, some thing will need te be done te make them leu damaging. The people must retire from the flood channel of the river and abandon ita permanent occupancy. They caunet be ruined every year, nnd every year summon charity te their help. The call will become monotonous and un heeded. In two successive years the Ohie has claimed a channel which must be yielded te it, if it continues te make the claim annually. Tessibly engineer ing skill may de something for the In habitants ; and if se, It seems te be high time that it should be summoned te their aid. i mm m Tub law of the state regulating mu nlclpalltles wisely provides that they shall establish sinking funds and that every city debt Incurred shall at the same time be accompanied with a. pre vision for ita gradual extinguishment. The state and federal financial systems have the same features, and te the care ful guarding of the sinking fund, the strict f ulilllment of the law directing ad dltieus te be made te It and the preser vatien of it from depletion for current expenses are due the certain decrease and final extinguishment of all public indebt edness. One of the most remarkable features of contrast between the receut Republican and Democratic executive administrations in this city has becu the difference in their practical management of this question. In June, 1S7-1, the sinking fund amounted te $SS,15S.OO. By the message of Mayer Stauffer, June, 1S76, it is reported that the additions made te it during the year were $10,GOO, which was u few thousands mere than the Interest en the bends In the fund, Nextjcar, however, the addition was only $4,200,; In 1870 77, It w.is $3,500 and In 1877-78 only $1,000 a total of $19,300 in four years, averaging $l,&2r) per year, or really less than the intert at en the bends in the fund itself. Under Mayer MacGonlgletho following additions have been roade te the sinking fund, with the promlse of mero before the expiration of Ills term : MarchSl, ISM t is.tue el December IB, 187'J ID, WW OO July 13. 1S80 11.100 00 Juuuury -a, 1MI WMUtn May SO, U81 4,0J0U March je, ltsjj s.iue oe June'J.l&H UTDO oe JuuunrvS. 1841 11,700 oe lune 1.1 wj V.ue te Junuuiy 19, lbtil ls.woeo IH'J.WJ IM Tun present wea ther seems te afford a severe test for the electric lights and the number reported us entirely out or working badly is increasing, while most citizens knew from their own observa tion that the imperfect lamps are mere numerous than these reports indicate. There are seme lights which these who live near them and watch them regularly declare scarcely ever burn satisfactorily and often are out the night long. It is te be doubted whether there are a half score lamps en the line that have burned rightly blnce their erection and demon Btrated their entire fitness for the work expected of them. It Is all tee plain that the Maxim system Is aa jet an ex periment; it deea net till the require ments of the contract under which It was established In any ene particular ; and the precipitate haste of councils in ae cepting it and doubling the cost of light ing the city for thia imperfect plan was a blunder if net the entering wedge of a job te finally saddle the whole cost of the construction of the line, ever $40,000, en the taxpayers. There is every reason te suspect that the electric light plant here was put up te sell, and if the citizens shall entrust the raunlcl pal administration into easy yielding banda they will find their rights bartered away nnd the city government restored te the vicious control from which the election of Mayer MacGonlgle rescued It. m TVb share the regret of our correspon dent from Strasburg, that se important h public question as the establishment of the whipping pest, as a punishment nnd preventive of seme grades of crime, has net been discussed in that enlightened community. Itls one which in eurjudg- ment merits thoughtful attention. The present system of administering criminal Justice nnd executing the punishments of the Inw lins fallen Inte disrepute. Much of the proceedings of the court of qunrter sessions and a very large share of the jail management are farcical. A great many people with sound heads and geed hearts believe In laying en the lush; the rogues are very generally down en It, nnd it is netable that while they return again nnd again te the Jail they are sel dom found at the whipping pest the sec ond time. A elanck through the finauclal state ments of several leading counties of the state, as published In their weekly news papers, falls te discover any item coi-es-pending with the large payments made here te justices and constables for costs in dismissed casea. Whether this diss of officials elsowhere de net knew as much ii3 their contemporaries here, or if the irresponsibility of ether counties for such charges has been judicially estab lished we de net knew ; but the very fact that Lancaster county Is almost alone in this line of expenditures justifies the commissioners in theii halt up mi a custom better honored in the bunch than the observance. A (ieat is never the mero roverond for his beard, nor a queen mere sacred for having written a trashy book. A DiTOnrr. mill has been discovered in New Yerk run en a system of wholesnlo forgery. Uespcct for the mairiage tic 1 fret wnlning vfhen confessedly villain villain eus enterpiltes of this kind can succeed. If David P. Itesctuuiller desires te get a night of the mayoralty goal in the coming race, he will promptly gng his party papers in this city whose " damning with faiut praihb" is worse thnn utter oendetnnatiou. It has been customary te speak of the Victorian nge as cousplcueus for its liter ary merit. In future it will be chiefly remarkable for having produced a garru lous old quceu's book that deals chielly with household a U'alrs of no interest te the public and Victeria's affection for the Soeteh gillie, Jehn Brewu. The ridiculous scheme te run another Jehn Hunter than the well known present rcceiver of taxes in Philadelphia for thin office, and te trust te profit from the con fusion of names was received with such goueral indignation that it has been abandoned by its projectors. It is mere and mero coming te be realized that sharp practices aud vain tricks in politics will net win. Tuk despised chairmanship of the com cem com mittee en expenditures of the department of justice that Springer was leth te accept will probably be the highest feather in his congressional cap. Already "Springer's committee." have become- household words aud its head in winning golden opinions in the uncarthiug of wholesale theft among hitherto unsuspected officials connected with the department of justice. PuiuiU's J. Carrell McCaffrey is net very well pleased with the result of his application for au injunction te restraiu James Elverseu, of Philadelphia, preprie ter et the Saturday Night and Gelden Day from running the machinery of Uls cstab. llshracnt at night te the allcged di.scem fort of the neighborhood. The supreme court has refuged the injunction, aud divided the costs of the proceedings, amounting te about $4,000, equally be tweonthe parties, but retained the bill, with leave for the complainant te apply for a further erder. The latter will probably he mero prudent in his future veutures into the field of litigation. The court held that a person residing in the centre of a large city caunet expect the quiet of a rural district. Fer this tittle bit of information the complainant pays 2,000. Tun state agricultural society, having bought ground for a permanent place of exhibition in Philadelphia, will erect capa cieus buildiugs during the coming summer aud inaugurate its new depatture next fall with a Htate fair at which $50,000 premiums win oe oiiereu it strntes ene at first as odd te held au agricultural fair iu the largest city of the itate and in the oxtreme faoutheastoru corner ; hut, after all, by the inorcase of railroad facilitlet, Philadelphia is brought near te the great agricultural regions of the htate.

There was a curious sulolde iu the New Lets, Leug Island home Sunday morning curious uoeauso ei tne causes tnat led te it. Anten Singer lived aloue en his little farm in Jamaica, L.

They boeamo intimate aud lived together uutil Zimmerman's term had expired, IIe returued aud, after a Ktermy scene, forgave his wife and took her te his bed aud heard again. Singer stoeu tins ns long as pjinie,uut last week met Mrd. Zimmerman aud, after a loin; talk, alie agreed te olepo with him. Zim merman heard of this nud sent for Singer in apparently a friendly way, and when the latter went te Zimmerman's the husband said that he was going te thrash Singer. Then they had a net te aud wero arrait -ed. That waH en Friday. That night iu their cells they sottled thelr dillorencos utid Zimmerman agreed te let Singer have his wife. They would uet make charges against each ether aud wero discharged. Singer at ence began propaiatleu te depart with the woman, but in the meantime a daughter of Mrs. Zlmmermau, who didn't ndmire this style of business, swore out a warrant against Blnger, charging him with having struek her nt the tlme or the fight with her father. When Singer was arrested he seemed much disgusted and said that if he was looked up hu would hang hlraself. He kept his word, nud in the night fastened his hundkernhief nud a picce of susponder nreund his nook and tied the end te a bar four feet above the lloer, and then turning his baek te the deer sat down uutil the noeso tightened nreund his nook nnd choked him te death, The Zimmerman are mlddle aged, as was Singer.

The latter informed Mr. Bradlaugh that he had net conformed te the rules, and ordered him te withdraw until Inn conduct had been considered by the Heuse. Mr. Bradlaugh, at that, withdrew under the peers' gallery. Mr. Gladstone m.ule no motion, whereupon Sir Stafferd Xortheoto moved that Mr. liradl.uigh be net perm t ted te t.ike the oath This meti.ui was carried by a vete of C$0 te 107.

This hpecrisy, he said, wai being exposed, and it was his oplnieu that Mr. Bradlaugh would ulti mately win. Mr. Ferstcr deprecated Mr. Braillaugh's position. After further remarks by Sir Stafferd Northcete.Mr. F. 11. O. Dotiuell, member for DuuRarvanu, pressed ttiu speaker te say whether Mr. liradl.uiL'h should with draw. The speaker said that Mr. Bradlaugh had net taken the oath, aud, therefore, could net be required te withdraw the same as a sworn inouiber. Mr. Themas Sexten, mumber from Sligo county, moved befere the Heuse divided, that Mr. Labouchero be ex cluded. The division was theu takeu, with the result ulre.nl) stated. When the tellers came te the table te report the result of the first vete Viscount C'richten announced that Mr. Bradlaugh had voted agaiust the motion. Mr. T. M. Ilealey, member for Mena ghau, thereupon moved that Mr. Brad laugh's vete be canceled. The motion was carried by a vete of 253 te 101, Mr. Bradlaugh again voting with the miner ity. It was at this point that the division was taken en Sir Stafferd Northceto's motion that Mr. Bradlaugh be excluded from the products of the Heuso. The Inw elfic-rs of the government have been instructed te prosecute Mr. Brad laugh immediately for voting three times in the ilou-e yesterday. Mr. Bradlaugh will defend hW action.
