ARGUMENT of counsel, in the Star
route cases is now progressing ; slowly
of course, but reaching out to a con
clusion some time, of these expensive
ami tedious trials,
A BILL abolishing the mercantile
appraiserships outside of Philadelphia, I
has passed both houses, it provides
that the duty will hereafter he j>er- j
formed by the tax assessor*.
CIIAUNCY I FILI.KY, the geniii* !
who got up the 3')6 (irant medal, and
was a candidate for the Postmaster
fieneralship, has got an office. He is
appointed collector of water rent* in
Bt. Louis.
A SOUTHERN editor say* that the
presentation of the tirt weeks hotel I
bill to a Northern invalid in Florida, i
pi i - esses a wonderful curative quality.
He i immediately convalescent, and
prepares to return borne.
Tut? Democratic State Convention
will meet at Harrishurg on the first
Wednesday of August. It will !>e the
first convention held under the new
rules, and wilt he comftosed of three 1
hundred and fifty-nine delegate-.
ENGINEER.-* are now engaged in sur- \
Toying the new Susquehanna and Al
legheny railroad route to run from !
Milton to Punxsutawney. At the
rale new routes are being put in oper- j
ation, Pennsylvania will soon lie so
covered with railroads that no other |
means of locomotion from one town to
another will be needed.
THE Texas Cowboys are 011 n strike j
for increase of wage* from #'lo to $ >0
per month, nnd being • well armed
threaten to kill any one who may be ;
employed at a less amount. They are j
generally men of desperate character
and will no doubt keep their promise,
unless overpowered. Some of the j
stock companies are asking for troops
to protect their stock.
THE committee appointed to count
the cash in the United States Treasu
ry, and examine the books, have, after
four or five weeks of unremitting la
bor, completed the task assigned them,
report that the cash in the office was
found to aggregate $13,460,297.&1,
yith a reserve fund of #7-">,440,'218.
The committee found an excess of
three cents in favor of the Treasurer,
Mr. Oilfillin.
THE COALITION horses in Virginia
and elsewhere are beginning to realize
the grealness of the contract they have
undertaken to deliver the votes of Dem
ocrats who have acted with them on
certain issue* to the itepublicao man
agent for 1884. Mahone, in Virginia,
and Chalmers, in Mississippi, are
doomed to discover that duplicity is a
hard road to travel under the electoral
light* which have Hashed over their
reoords since the meeting of the last
Congress.
Explanation Donmndod
It is some time now since the Con
gressional apportionment bill passed
the House of Representatives and was
certified to the Senate, yet it Bleeps
quietly in the committee of that body
The Patriot very properly demands
why this is HO, and the people of Penn
sylvania will reiterate the demand
with emphasis at the polls, it any un
fair trick of the bosses is to b<; euacted
in surprising a fair, equal and ju*t
apportionment of the congressional
representation according to the letter
and spirit of the constitution. 1 hat i
this has been submitted to in the past, j
should not encourage the belief that
it will he tolerated again. Honesty j
will assert itself, even if legislation
obligation and honor fails of appreci
ation.
A Stale Lie Nailed !
An old stale lie of the campaign of
I H <7, having been revived by a r rupee ■
table paper in Philadelphia, an oppor
tunity is afforded to Senator Wallace
to give a Hat contradiction to the old
" coffee pot" slander which lias fur
| nished small politicians a text to abuse
him in petty paragraphs and senseless
harangues at Republican gatherings.
If, in that campaign, fraudulent natu
ralization papers were used, they were
not chargeable to Senator Wallace or
any of his political friends, hut were
(he work of an adroit and unscrupu
lous personal and political enemy of
the Senator, who took that method of
charging to him and the Democratic
party votes which were positively and
absolutely thrown against them. This
man had entire control of the little
squad of scoundrels who were alleged
to have east fraudulent vote* ai that
election, and were selected by him tor
the pur [>-!'. Tiii* fact was made -of

true, he was unseated at tho close of
the first session, but if the Republican
party can taka pride in the disgrace

card :
