There will be found elscwhere in this lasueef the Intelligencer a thoughtful article en the need of a reform in our pres ent mode of conducting quarter sessions business In this county. As most people tire well aware, the amount of quarter sessions work is tee large te be attended te at the four regular terms, and an adjourned term is held after each regular term. This re quires a double set of jurors and a duplica ting of the costs te the county. The In telligencer last week suggested the appointment of an assistant district atter- ney and the conducting of two quarter ses ses siens courts, presided ever by each of the judges, in the upper aud lower court rooms. The plan has met with the approval of the president judge, and it is clearly demonstrable that with CO jurors there would be an ample number for two trials progressing at the same time. The saving te the county in doing nway with the ad journed courts and all their attendant ex pense is seen at a glance. If the next dis trict attorney will ask the court, an assist ant will be granted him and thousands of dollars will be saved te the taxpayers. Will he size up te the situation that is be fore him ? A Page Frem Republican History. In the hullabaloo that is going te be raised in this state en Monday next by the tour of Mr. Blaine through it, the effort is te cloud the stat issues en which the bat tle is te be fought en the first Tuesday hi November. A great dust will be rais. d bj parading Mr. Blaine through the state, but after it all settles the intelligent voter will see even mere clearly Mi in new the neces sity of defeating the Republican ticktt. There is a page of Republican history in this state that was written four jeare age by Governer Henry M. Tleyt, as a pretest against the men and methods who were behind the nomination of Beaver at that time. The same meu and the same meth eds are in this campaign, and if Beaver wins, the same curse of bessisru will fa'! upon the party as visited it iu the daj when the halls of I.echlel house at NarrU burg reseuuded with the treiul of the claquers. Here is a portion of the prete-t of Governer Heyt against the oke that was attempted te be put upon him : When 1 reflect en the humiliation put upon myself as chief magistrate for resisting Beme of the purposes of the machine which put politics above administrative propriety, and when I reflect upon the force e! the Insulting methods applied te inyselt by means of threats, Intrigue and bad faith, 1 reallzssetne of Cardinal "WeUey's regrets that lie "hail net served his Oed with half the zeal lie had bis king." Deej anyone suppose that easy-going Beaver will fight the evil purposes of men that mad him. Consideration of facts like these are determining hundreds of voters every day te cast their ballets for Black mid the whole Democratic ticket. Calls Upen the Charitable. Charitable people have many opportuni ties at all times, but of late the calls upon them have been se frequent that the virtue of replying te them is becoming greater. The Charleston sufferers have no sooner ceased te be the objects of charity than the storm en the gulf and the lakes gives another list of dead, of devastated homes aud ruined villages, and details of distress se harrowing that there should be no del in doing all that man can de te relieve it. Christian nations are much accustomed te self-praise in the matter of charity, and yet in emergencies like this we nre rivalled by races we despise and from whose re ligions we recoil with horror. Although capable of the most savage cruelty, there are emergencies in which the better im pulses of human nature show inore plainly in the Turk aud Chinaman than they de with us. There are life-saving stations en the Turkish coast, and the ignorant Mehammedans who man them have per formed deeds of unselfish heroism that rival any that we can beast of. An illiterate Arab saved the lives of many thousand Christians during the last great massacre in the Hely Land, aud jet he never received or expected any reward and get small thanks. He died recently in great poverty. The teachings of the Christian religion are se far superior te these of the people re ferred te that there should be a great superiority in our practice ; and zeal te re lieve all suffering, whether of friends or enemies near or far.sheuld be strengthened. Then in time the race may form a kind of mutual insurance association against disaster, beundby no law but that of com mon humanity. Ball In 'ew Yerk. The laws governing ball In New Yerk are peculiar. Ex-Alderman Sayles, etNew Yerk, was released under"2 6,000 ball, his brother teeing surety ter him. The ex alderman departed , and the city was unable te secure the cash, for the brother's prop prep rty was all in real estate, which the city was unable te preveut him from transfer ring. The ease with which New Yerk ras eaU escape justice, and their bondsmen tBMipe less, lias long been a matter et won der, and the rejple of that city are at lwgth beginning te realize the strange figure they are making before the rest of tbe country.

Tim preposition tocbange the name of the Protestant Episcopal church te the American Catholic church, new being dismissed at the Chicago Kplscepil convention, will scarcely result In any outcome. S mie of the ablest of the churchmen are radically opposed te the innovation. The fatuous Rev. Dr. Philips Brooks, of Bosten, eloquently pro tested against a change ou Thursday. His line of argument was in one sense a criticism of the polity of the church which did net authorize it te arrogate te Itself the title of being the church of America. The composite Church of America was that w hich embraced the great Protestant churches of the nation. It has been said that the church, wheu it took en its new, bread and swc-epiug name, would extend Us arms and embrics all Chris tianity. Te style the Protestant Episcopal church the American Cathelicchurch deemed it te be the refuge of a contracted element, In no seusa representing bread Americanism. It would confide it te thee who depended upon the apostolic succession as a certainty or salvation. He hoped Ge 1 would ferelend the day wheu nny such JaLUstie step should be taken.

It Isllke the announcement of the heading e Harper' HVrWu, " A Journal of Clvillzs Hen," as though ether .journal were Journals of barbarism, and there were. American mer chant navigators in the day that are net past. The father of ltlchard J. Cleveland was the brother of President Cleveland's great-grandfather, lu l, when sixteen yearsef age, be was seized by a pres gang 011 the streets of Bosten, aud tervesl for several jears en beard of a British man-of-war. He was rapidly promoted and became captain of the top, and then midshipman, acquiring such a knowl edge el all the details et seamanship, that when he received bis discharge and entered the American merchant marine, he seen be came famous as the designer and builder of the HWirt vei-sels that aftetwards ulayed a prominent part in the war of the Revolution. Thirty-flve days after Jim Declaration of Independence he was commissioned by the Continental Congress te Kit France In the brig Dispatch, and procure arms and ammu nition, pay I UK for them w ilh ti-h ami pi-tash, as we had no money. He was the tlrst te show our Hag In a European pert. When the war was ever our privateers were turned loco en the ivcau as merchant men, and being tee large for the short coast ing veutures, te which our commerce had been restricted in colonial d i, the Salem lleet (ler most of them hailed from that town) seen becsme famous ler their long ana rapid voyages te every known and uu uu knewu quarter of the glebe. This foreign commerce, se wonderfully successful, was no doubt tbe secret of the Intellectual vigor of New England and the proverbial sharp ness of the Yaufc.ee. The crews of .tteui ships were men of intelligence and ambition, and it was the custom iu thoe davs te allow every man a little space In the held ler the slewing of his private venture. As all looked forward te the day wheu thev would "Fail the ocean blue'' In vessels "of their own, they studied navigation carefully and were proud of their seamanship. The son of the revolutionary sailor made his first voyage w heu emy eighteen, his oap eap tain being twenty, and though the Eurepeau wars made these veutures hazirdeus, the profits were often hve times the original cap ital, se that it is net surprlsiug that there should have Leen such a demand ler men te man vessels that the bevs became manly te supply it. A BOY COMM VM'tlt. Richard J. Cleveland soeu became a cap tain, and was one of the most daring and en terprlsleg of the hardy navigators who first made our flag known and resiected the world ever. At twenty-tour he found him self in France, aud Inning a little vessel en two years' credit, be gave foreigners a speci men of American pluc'i and enterprise by undertaking a vevage te the Isle of France by w ay of the Cai 01 flood ilepn. This v ey age was full of adventure aud was followed by ethers quite as daring aud mere success ful, se that after an ab-ence et seven years he returned home with 570.000, or seven times the original capital. He had sailed twice around the world, and encountered perils that modern navigators knew nothing of. As one reads the chronic e, in his own clear English, etud veutures with mutineers and Malay pirates, privateers and Oregon sivage, it is hard te reillze that this In a true description et the ocean as it was uet mere than eighty years age. The book isolmet an autotviegrapby,but the seu has given thedetails el many adventures that the modesty of the lather had prevented him from emphasizing. Several et these in cidents show the daring s,,irlt of the mau se well as te be worthy ut special mentiuii here. On the coast et China his crew U e-oaped English convicts, srnmied at Canten in the lacK 01 euiier material, plotted a mutiny. The yeuug captain get w md of it from n lew falthlul men, and when the critical moment had arrived, and the mutineers had gathered for a rush upon their oilleers, two cannon weretuddeiily swung round se as te bear upon them, and a threat efgraK and canms ter seen brought pace. Ou another occasion he seized the ringleader et mutineers aud had him tied up te the rigging. When his fellow ers advanced torescuehim Cleveland took a pistol In ea'-h hand, and "meeting them halfway, leisurely laid a rope acressthe deck, and threatened with instant death auy man who should dare te cress it." It must be remembered that thee were the days of Uint locks, and a man with two pistols was net nearly as formidable asa mai with one revolver would be nowadays. I-niVATKEKS AM) IMRA1K4. His lile was a Iengseries of ups and ilewiis and the fortunes that he made se rapidly he lest wllb equal ease ler the seas were crowded with the men-et-war and privateers of France and EngUnd, and orders Iu council aud Milan decrees, thrown bick auJ forth across the British channel, had made the sail ing of the seas by Americans a very danger ous business. His vessel was seized ou one occasion by order el the British Admiral Cochrane, simple casu of robbery without excuse or palliation. When In a beuth American pert another American vessel was summoned te surrender by a Spanish mer chant ship, very large and mounting eigbtt en cannon. The capum, Rewan, "nailed his colors te the mast and told them they might tire if they pleased." They did net lire but several days after the American vessel was bearded by a mob of two hundred Spaniard and the crew ma-sacredj tbe cargo seized by the authorities ou bhure. In these times we had no navy. What have we new ? Frem this nest of inurderers and pirates Clevelaud escaped with ditllculty but found the Spanish governors hostile all along the coast. They actually fought a small battle with the commandant of the pert of San Diege California, disarming the guard he had placed en beard and silencing the guns of bis fort by well directed broadsides. His last great enterprise was a voyage te Seuth America in command of a large ship owned by Jehn Jacob Aster, and having u cargo el great value. A consignment el muskets which Mr. Aster insisted upon sending in the vessel, gave the Spaniards all the pretext needed for its seizure, aud drove the desjsjrate sailor te tl.e planning of oneof the most daring schemes that history records. Nothing less than the seizure of a Spanish frigate and the revolutionizing el tbe king, domefl'eru. This project was carefully planned aud only failed because the wind fell and u dead calm held the vessel motion less.

Ilillcktlllrr llnli. "The I.iloet Rebert Fulteuainl a History of Steam Navigation " is the title et a new book that is worthy el mere than a passing notice, llrst because of local Interest in the subject or tlie first half el the title, und sec ondly, because of the excellence of the whole book. The writer, Themas W. Knox, has evidently devoted much tlme und labor te It, and the result is a book that can be skimmed ever and found as full of Interest as any novel, or may be read carefully as an accurate chronicle and commentary en the marvelous change that steam navigation lias wrought In the memory of living men. flv wav of encouragement te bevs who de net prosper at school a llttie knowledge of '(Juicksllver 110b" would go a great way, ler Beb was a peer scholar, and bluntly told bis master one day that "Ills head was te full of original notions (hat there wai no room te store anay the c 'iilents of dusty lioekH.', The nlcknituie or " Q ilcksi'.ver Beb" was gained during tbe revolution.

The account el his successful submarine beat will surprNe these who have mere recently been astonished bv Jules Verne's story of the Nautllu and Its partial realization in the recent perlermances of submarine beats In France and Ru-ss, and in New Yerk harbor. Mr. Kuex Urst traced the history of steam navigation In America, en the Hudsen, the Ohie, the Mississippi and the lakes; and he gives se many graphic descriptions of the rlvermeu and"rlvercralu se skillfully inter spcrces valued fact with pleasaut Incident, tnat this part of the book vv ill 1 0 read eager ly. Iu fact the whole work, though at times encumbered with sclentiilc detail, ts se ar ranged that this can be readily skipped by the unselentilic. When the reader reaches the account et the progress of ocean steam ship building he will no doubt find much el this dead matter, unless he be a second Pulton, and can move en te the closing chapters en vessels et war, torpedoes, and submarine navigation. That this marvelous progress is largely the result of the Impetus given by the ixind and will of one mau the reader is never si.tlered te forget, for he has ben told hew Fulton succeeded net alone iu the building of steam ships, but In the construction of submarine ships, submirina guusaud torpedoes. A H11AVE JOKCn. This smrgests a comment en the mveL ter's coolness and courage and his way of keeping all controllable circumstances under perfect sway. He was lecturing te a large audience iu New Y'erk ou torpedoes, aud alter arous areus lug much interest by exblbiting the torpedo cases and the clockwork that caused the ex plosion wheu the machine had been placed under a ves.sel and the operator had reached a sale distance, he turned te a cese aud draw draw leg out a peg, said : "Gentlemen, this Is a charged torpedo, with which precisely In its present b'ate, I inteud te blew up a vessel. It contains eue hundred and seventy pounds of (xwder, and it I were te allow thedockwerk te run ratteen minutes it would blew us all te atoms." The hall was emptv in a lew min utes, aud though he calmly replaced the peg, he could net iuduce the Irlghlened citizens te return. When the Euglish admiralty commission suggested tnat Fulton should accept a re warden condition of suppressing his torpedo system, be replied : " I will never consent te let these inventions lie dormant, should my country at auy time have need et them. Were you te grant 1110 an annuity of $4e,00u a year, I would sacrilice all te the satety and Independence of my country." Our citizens de net all appreciate the facts that cue of the greatest men our country ever produced, the first great inventor of u nation of inventors, was net u Yankee, but a citizen of our ceuuty ; and made his Urst successful inventions In the celebration of the Fourth of July by rockets and the navi gation of the Conestoga by paddles.
