WHAT a vast difference there is in
the way different men are served 1
An ex-Governor of the State no sooner
quits an office, in which he drew |OO,-
000 for his services, than a snug place
must be provided for him in Philadel

to beg in vain at Harrisburg for even

THE army appropriation bill, as it
passed the house of representatives on
Saturday, embodies considerable legis
lation in its provisions that will pro
bably work much discussion in the
senate. The limit of the effective
strength of the army is fixed at 25,000
men, and among the new provisions is
one for an almost complete reorgani
zation, the main features of which are
taken from the Burnsidc bill tlint was
introduced early in the session, and at
that time seemed to meet with only
slight favor. With a view to its ef
fectiveness and also with a view to
public economy, it lias l>een made very
appurent of late that the army under
its present system of organization
needs an overhauling in many impor
tant particulars, and it is probable
that the lturnside plan is as good as
any other that may be proposed. It is
an outgrowth of patient thought and
careful investigation of the subject by
a committee of the two houses of Con
gress composed of men of technical
knowledge and of practical experience
in military affairs, and it is not likely
that any great harm will come by
giving it a trial.
Another new feature of this appro
priation bill, proposed by Gen. Butler,
is to give railroad companies the right
to construct and operate telegraph
lines along their roads not only for
military but for general uses. This is
regarded as a strike at the monopoly
of the Great Western I'niou Tele
graph Company by giving railroad
j companies the power to enter into
; competition with it in the business of
transmitting telegraphic messages, and
if it succeeds in breaking up the
impositions and extortions of a
single company that now controls the
telegraphic business of the country,
it will have served a grsal purpose,
and no complaint will be made
against it by the public.
OUR neighbor of the 11*I/CA man
seems somewhat alarmed lest the in
vestigation made necessary by the
Congressional contest going on in this
district, would bring reproach and
possibly odium upon Democratic elec
tion officers, as well as upon other
Democrats, and he therefore deprecates
all such investigations. We do not
sympathize with his fears. If any
Democratic election officer was in
competent to discharge the duties of
his position, it was a great injustice,
not only to the public, but to the |>artr
and himself, to assume the position
which he was not qualifies! to till. If
he was competent, and yet through
negligence or a wilful disregard of the
requirements of the law, he failed to
perform his official duties properly,
it will neither do him nor the party
any harm, to have him sufficiently
reprimanded to teach him and others
that the duties of public officers must lie
properly, faithfully and honestly per
formed. As to other Democrats, if
they were honest ami faithful to the
principles nml candidates of their
jrty, they have nothing to fear. Our
party teaches no wrong principles, and
advocates no dark or crooked method*.
If any pretended Democrat during
the last campaign was guilty of any
crookedness either in the interest
of the enemy or through mistaken
zeal for tho success of our own candi
dates, no honest man should desire to
screen him from the punishment pro
vided by law. As the parties con
tending for the seat in Congress are
themselves paying the expenses of this
investigation, we say let it go on,
and let it be as thorough as possible ;
and if Democrats, Republicans, or
Greenbackers are scorched by it, let
them respectively suffer the penalties
for their evil practices. As far as the
Democrats are concerned, we have no
fear of the result.
PREPARING FOR 1880. —A meet
ing of the members of the National
and Congressional Democratic Com
mittees, was held at Willard's hotel in
Washington, on the 7th inst., for the
purpose of arranging preliminaries
pertaining to the organization of the
Campaign Committee of 1880. Af
ter interchanging views, Senators
Wallace ami Barnura were appointed
a committee to consider and report
upon the proper measures to be adopt
ed at a ftiture meeting. It is expected,
and no doubt the experienced gentle
men will formulate a plan of organi
zation that will be practical in its
details and effective as an aid to party
success.
Mr. Tlldcu mid the Cipher Dispatchc*.
The appearance of Kainuel J. Til
den before the sub-committee that
went to New York last week to con
tinue in that city the investigation in
to the cipher telegrams, so noxiously
awaited, is now the subject of com
ment throughout the length and
breadth of the land. The scene while
Mr. Tilden was undergoing what can
truthfully he deocribed as one of the
most trying ordeals of his life was al
most a dramatic picture—not lea* so
in the ealin, earnest and impressive de
meanor of him who came forward in
vindication of his personal integrity,
than in the intense interest manifested
by the multitude who crowded the
committee room.
Mr. Tilden has left no room for
doubt that he is abundantly nhle to
le, as he says, "the custodian of his
own honor." Before his clear, em
phatic and unequivocal statement, the
prcsistent and wicked efforts that have
been made to blnckcu bis character
fall to the ground in utter and ig
nominious failure. From this time
forward no one, except he be a narrow
minded and unscrupulous partisan,
will believe tlmt Samuel J. Tilden
bad anything whatever to do with the
cipher telegrams over which Republi
can organs have prated so much, or
that lie made the faintest attempt hv
other than honest and legitimate
means to secure the fruits of the vic
tory he gained in the election of 1876.
That Mr. Tilden was the honestly
t elected President by the people there
can IM' no doubt, and that another,
who was not elected, should be enjoy
ing the honors and emoluments of that
great office is the most disgraceful and
humiliating fact in the history of the
country ; but to the millions of free
men who were wronged in the great
wrong that wi ]x-r|>ctrated against
their candidate, it is a proud satisfac
tion to realize that his skirts are free
from the taint of dishonor and that
tie was worthy of their support ami
confidence. Republicans need give
themselves no further trouble aliout
Mr. Tilden or the cipher dispatches.
He stands before the country free and
undcfilcd so far a* they can afli-ct him,
and it would now l>c more in keeping
with the fitness of things if Republi
can statesmen, politician* and investi
gators, intcad of continuing to throw
mud at the cheated candidate, turned
their attention to the culprits and
malefactors of their own jwrty under
whom management and direction fraud
for the first time enthroned itself in
the White House. "I was resolved that
if there was to be an auction of the
Chief Magistrate of my country, I
would not be among the bidders." Can
the criminals w ho defrauded Mr. Tilden
out of an honest election to the " Chief
Magistracy" say as much? There was
nu auction, and the one who did bid,
or permitted hi* friend*, who manip
ulated the vote* of South Carolina,
Iui*inna ami Florida, to hid for him,
ha* paid the price. That one i* not

Hank Tax Bill.
One of our representatives, Hon. J.
P. Gephart, read in place, on Tuesday
last, a bill to better enforce the taxes
assessed upon National and other
hanks. The effect of this measure, if
it becomes a law, will IKS to put into
the Ktate Treasury about 8450,000 of
taxes, which these hanks have been
evading for the last ten years. The
projioHed measure is a just one and
the people of the State will be under
obligation to representative Gephart
for his vigiluuce in looking after the
interest* of the State. This bill does
not propose any new taxes nor in
crease any old ones, hut simply pro
vides for the lictter enforcement of
the present law which three-fourths of
the hanks of thu State have hereto
fore evaded. Below we give the text
of the hill:

What II All Cornea To.
According to the New York World.
it nil come* to thia: "The Republi
can hoard* in three Southern States
tries! to ael! the Presidency to Mr.
Tilden and the Democratic party.
Thia the cipher decipherer* initial upon.
The country haa auspected thia both
before and ever ainec Mr. Hayes waa
accepted aa President at the hands of
the Klectorial Commiaaion. The coun
try is now assures! of this. Alan, Mr.
Tilden and the Democratic party did
not buy the Pesidency from these Re
publican board*. Why not! Recauac,
said Mr. Tilden on Saturday, because
the Democratic candidate waa deter*
" mined to meet such a degraded con
" dition of public affair*, not by ahar
" ing in it in any degree, not by ac
quiescence, not by toleration, but
" by an ungual ified and perpetual pro
" test, appealing to the people to re
" assert and re-establish their great
" right—the greatest of their rights—
" the right without which all others
" are worthless—the right to elective
" self-government." Will the people
reassert and re-eatabliah this great
right? We think they will."
The House of Representatives pass
ed the army appropriation bill on
Monday last.' The proposition to
transfer the Indian Bureau from the
Interior Department to tbe War De
partment, waa defeated. This waa a
surprise to everybody aa it waa be
lieved the transfer would be made.
Score one for Hcburs.

Some have attributed that fright
ful epidemic, the Plague, now ravaging
Europe, to the recorded approach
of several planet* to tbe sun. Ins-much
aa four planets enter tbe perihelion in
1881, we have at least this similarity be
tween the present time and a former
like period, and this circumstance, com
bined with the sudden outbreak of the
plague that is reported from Europe,
may give rise to the fears that the com
ing planetary proximity to the *un is
perhaps to have an evil import for poor
humanity.

The Legislature seem* to be taking an
unusual interest in such of the human

enough to find themselves c-mvieted of
murder in the first degree, Besides tho
House bill for the abolishment ot capi

the execution of the death penalty,
which strikes a direct blow at sensation
al newspapers and prevents, as far as
I ennsvlvania is concerned, any re|eti
tioo of the Hunter bungling. It fixe*
the time for the springing of the faUl
trap at an hour before sunrise, and
make* a penitentiary of the State tho

that the condemned, before the day
designated for the hanging, shall be re
moved from the county jail to the peni
tentiary within tlie district, and that
the warden or deputy, or appointee shall
act as executioner, and receive from the
State Treasury the sum of SIOO for his
service*. A!*o, that after the passage
of the act the managers of the three
penitentur es, vir: Kastern, Middle and

that the instrument of death shall bo
enclosed so as to exclude the public
