A CI.EARFIKI.I) county exchange nominates Senator Wallace for the I'residency. Well, trot him out. We vote, Aye! He is the equal of the best, and u head and shoulders above many seriously urged. THE colored voters of Crawford, Mercer, McKean, and Ve nango counties, are to meet in conven tion at Oil City, on the 21th in-t., for the purpose of considering various questions atlecting the interests of tin ir race. THE strike of the iron worker- in Pittsburgh, which for some week seemed inevitable, ha- fortunately for all parties as well as fur the business of the country, been averted, and peace and harmony i- assured between the employers and employed by volun tary agreement. QUEEN VICTORIA, has knighted a Mr. Cameron of New York. Now that her majesty's attention has been directed to the merits of the Cameron family, it i- to he hoped -lie will >t overlook our Don, of the Pennsylvania elan, now temporarily sojourning in her dominion. MORMON Converts are pouring in from England and other foreign coun tries by the hundreds. Their mission aries are very active and are rushing in the ignorant and helpless victims unconscious of the doom that awaits them eventually in the nefarious prac tice of pologomy, now declared unlaw ful in the I'nited States. THE bill giving full license to de stroy the sparrows, has passed both houses and will become n law if the Governor approves it, which we hope he will not do. The miserable war urged upon these interesting little birds, is a small business, to say the least of it, and should not have re ceived the approbation of grave leg islators. THE friends of the free pipe hill, after several years of effort, were suc cessful on Friday last. The hill was finally passed in the House and sent to the Governor for approval. The anti-discrimination hill also passed on Friday, and the oil men are now happy. They have made a long and earnest struggle for both of these measures. THE Ilarrisburg T>Ut honor, aud the oathes they have taken as i representatives. The I'atrial referring ' to the purpose of the stalwart- to tie ! fiat the pas-age of fair apportion ment bills remark-: "If no legisla tive apportionment lie made at the i pre-ent session of the legislature, not I only will the coustitutiuii he violated 1 hut the p- q>le will he -win 11- 1 " it of j their ju-t representation in the legi-ia ' ture. F r . xample. Is Hanoi i unty, ' ! under the present app >rti nment, i- ' given a senatur. 1 n.' remarks, "One of the weakest member- of a '.Senate almost phcnominally weaki 1 say- that 'the disastrous free trade principles of the Democratic party have been sufficiently illustrated by the recent reduction of the tariff, and the workman i- looking for the cause." The new tarill liill is not a Democratic ' structure. It i- the great work of a Republican < 'ongn -s, and the Repub lican parlv i- fairly entitled to all the honor or reproach thnt may come of if. Hut the present troubles of tin workingmcn have not grown out of the new tariff, as they very well know. The decline of the iron business would have come just as soon and would have been felt just as severely had ' there been no taritF legislation during 1 | the la-t session of Congress. There has been enormous over-production in the trade, caused by the immense de mand for iron in IXBO and IXBI, and | the only remedy for it is suspension of production. The crash of 1X73 and the ruin that followed came on the country under the benign influences of the war tariff. The glut front which ! trade is now suffering came under the same tariff. And so long as, by taxa tion of rnw material, wc make our products so costly that we cannot sell them in competition with the products of other countries, we shall lie con fined to the home market, and our mills must lie regulated by the home demand.

The damage is estimated at eight hundred thous and dollars. Tut completion of the big bridge uniting N. w York and Brooklyn, has raised the question as to how* these cities should he designated in the fu ture. The New Yorkers claim that Brooklyn shall he called "Last New York," while the Brooklyn people de run ml that New York shall he known ns "West Brooklyn." The name for the united cities suggested hy the Philadelphia /Vest "Sodom and Go morrah," might not he an inappropri ate settlement of the controversy. IT is expected thnt the Prisident will have a red-hot fight with officials and other interested parties before he carries out his contemplated reduction of the Revenue districts. It is bound to come, and no one knows better than the President that if his parly is to reap any lienefit from the reduction demanded hy the poople, action upon his part roust lie prompt and vigorous. •J* M i- I'm rotts iiti i i.i:!
