THE Northern Demoeracy are,- be
wildered by the action of their
Southern brethern. It was never
tbought that the! South had any re
gard for money: . Most people who
have had dealings - -with them know
they are so indifferent as to money
that.tqey do l noieare vethet or not
they have any, to pay their debts.
The idea , of the 'Northern Democrat
was that his Southern brother only
wanted -his political rights, wanted
to be're-enfranchiscd to get back to
Congress, the Cabinet, the Supreme
Court and -the Presidency ; to se-
cure, it possible, their old places on
the rolls _,or the Federal : army and
navy. Chivalric and' polished gen
-tlemen' coald not, possibly desire
more than this; and this has been
accented them. It was a happy day
for the Democracy to hive the es
rebel back again in Congress. It
• Wide the heart of the dough-ace hop
With a. new joy as he saw these gen-
tlemen resume their seats in the Sen
ate and the ,House. When this was
accomplishedthe Demoeracy thought
their troubleS had all ended. -But
alas for all such Hopes. These g -
tlemen of the South are making sad
work in Congress for the DemoCratic
Part); of the North. The northern
dough-face has actually been cheat
ed. lie finds that the South is not
what he took it to be. It is vpra
cious I There, is no satisfying it.
All its propositions are for money.
To CIA down appropriations which
are absolutely, necessary to cary on
_the government, it is always ready,
but the moment sudh a bill hasTass
ed a Southern man has another on
the file appropriating Money for
some object in that section. The
Democratic heart grows sick, sad and
weaty, confronted by such damands,
and the, party bas ho refuge from the
Southern vulturc. It has_ inKoked
its own doom.
Postmaster-general. has is
sued an orderamending a l regula
tion of theAepartment govering the
transmission of printed matter,
which is very important in its . .bear
hip, inasmuch 'as it overrules , a
long-established practice in the de

TSSB GUSESNATOIRIAL grisonos.
The Athens aurae, in undid
review of the Gubernatorial questions
endorses the , candidacy ` of Mr. Gtow
in unequev'oeal language, We take
the liberty of tninsfeiring the-follow
ing paragraphs to ourieoltunns : •
Who shall it be ? It need not be
doubted that a position of so much
dignity
.and importance will not be
sought after. Already several promi
'nent citisens have been named, and .
will be urged forward with much
real. Withont claiming a personal
knowledge of the qualifications of
all, we are entirely-satisfied with the
selection made by the long neglected
Nbrthern Tier - of counties, Mr; Growl
We *re satisfied because' he ctn.,
bodies •in an eminent degree all the
qualifications needed for that office.
The history of his whole.life, official
ly and otherwise, point him out as a
TRUE MAN AND A STATESMAN. Having ,
from childhood been ranked among
the laboring class, every act of his
life, private or public, has exhibited
'al friendl4iess if not a derided lean
itig toward the great industrial ele
ments
ofOtir'eountry.
Prom his homestead Bill down to
his recent eloquent and truthfnl dis
quisition upon the • tramp question,
that affinity for the productive class
of the county has-not been disguised.
Looking ,over the prominent men, of
our good old Comnionwerlth !fa im
'partially as‘we are able, we see Mr,
,Grow standing head and shoulders
above any other eitiSen as a suitable
candidate
. for Governor at this par
ticular time. We think he could do
more I to heal the schisms between
Capital and Labor, to quicken the
dormant industries, and restore the
mutual confidence.and,dependenee in
.each of the discordant elements
around us which ouglitnever.to have
been disturbed. Men having at heart s
genuine reforms need not fOrm al
liances. with questionable, men' and
dogmas -to accomplish their ends,
for, from the beginning 4 the end.-
ing of his public career,, of a vote
nor act of his can be found on record
that was not to encourage the indtfs
tries and raise up the down-trodden.'
If the third party has' any preten
sions to honesty of'purpose they can
accomplish any proper retrenchment
through this lifelong reforrher. But
if they are only" to have a bout in pol
itics, to create kuniversal muddle re
gardless of consequences, their lead=
ers may.marshall their hosts'and sell
them out to the highest bidder, and
gobble their little mess of pottage.

I . A
DEATH OF HON. JOHN A LIMON.
Hon. Jonx AflrsoN, Register of
the Treasury, died of apoplexy, in
Washington, on Saturday morning.
. On Ffiday night he retired in
apparently good health. Between
F and 7 o'clock Saturday morning he
awoke, drank a glass of , water‘' and
said he would lie in bed until break
fast was ready. His wife I coon
thereafter noticed that his face was
strangely pale, and on drawing
nearer discovered that he was deti'd.
Mr. ALLISON was bOrii in this State
on the sth of August, 1812. He
studied law, but never practiced It.'
He was a member of the Pennsylva
nia Legislature , fOr three years, and
was a member of the Thirty-second
and. Thirty-third Congresses, and
was - the Republican candidate for
United States Senate when Mr.
Wallace was elected. He 'was ap
pointed Register in 1869.4
The funeral of Mr. A msos_took
place Sunday afternoon, at 5 o'clock,
from his late residence in Washing
ton. A short service was held at
the house, after which the re
mains was escorted to the. Baltimore

his former home in Beaver, where

from Hon. JA-NiEs B. BEbsonn on the

And nowl in conclusion, permit me
to say that the disease of thia)naiion
to-day is its vast indebtedneSs ; - its
indeintedHss grfYwinglut fd the war;
its indebtedness incurred by wild
speculaticns and unprofitable ven
tures ;- itsLindcbtedfiess born of the
fever ,p_f extravagance' for foreign
silks, velvets, laces, gewgaws ; its
indebtedness incurred in construct
ing railroads managed adversely to
the interest of those Who paid for
their- construction ; its indebtedness
contracted in erecting gorge9us
church temples where religion Has
every • grace except the heart. Por
this disease experience can suggest
but one 'llre—industry, economy,
and ,time: This cure, disregarded,
the fever and delirium will increase
until universal bankruptcy overtakes
us all. This care:applied, the re
covery, though slow,
S will be abso
lutely certain."

We have been reliably inforthed that
JUdge LEONARD was taken sick with
a fever oimthe 9th inst., the day he
was to leave on the steamer for this
:city. After, he had come aboard he

medical attention.. He therefore re
' tamed to the e hbtel and called in
several physicians, one of whom was .
an American. 'On the -13th inst. a
fried of his wrote to a gentleman of
this city that the -Judge was much
better and would soon be out: , His,
.death, which occurred on the :15th,
must therefore _hafe been the .result
of a relaps9Afways very dangerous

tion of knowing that his course is en

their appreciation by 'retuning him

The attention of your correspondent
has been called to a low, scurilous article,'
abusive-of Speaker Myer, which originally
appeared in the Philadelphia Record, but
'has recently foUnd an appropriate channel
for the reproduction of its falsehoods and
billingsgate in a paper published in Brad
ford comity. The writer of the article in
the Record, who appears to b... an adept
in the use of slang peculiar to , bar-room
politicians and the habitues of--the Phila
delphia fish markets,. has allowed himself
to be usod, in the present instance, to do
the dirty work' in slandering a gentleman
who would not permit hinito blacken his
Aloes, for a conceited little memberof the
Homo, who aspires to be the leader of the
temo4racy and who thinks every one
aught to sneeze when he take snuff ; and
who immagines that the Speaker has not
treated him with the distinguished con
sideration his importance demands. This
is the whole animus of this Record arti
cle, and it would not haie bacninoticed,
but for the fact that it was eopiectinto the
Bradford paper, evidently with a of
doing - Mr. Myer an injury among his
, neighbors, for whose information it is
proper to say that as a presiding officer
the present Speaker of the 'louse will
compare most favorably with any of his
predecessor, and that ho discharges• the
delicate and responsible duties of the posi
tion with dignity, firmness, ability and
impartiality. He is not a man that can
be used, or turned aside from what lie
considers right, but being a positive
man, of strong convictions, with the nerve
to carry them out, he sometimes treads
on the toes of people who have axes to
grind at the expense of the public inter
est.
The- charge that the Speaker has two
of his sons on the rolls of the HOW*
employees this year, " is of a piece with
the rest of the falsehoods referred to, and
is scarcely worth noticing. One of his sons,
a bright little boy 12 or 14 years of age, is
here as a page, and if there is anything
: criminal or unnatural in a father thus en
joying the company of a favorite child,
people who are fond of small scandals
are welcome to make the most of it.
The session of the Senate was short to
day, arrangements having been made to
attend the funeralof Senator Nagle, in
Philadelphia, to-marrow morning, about
'a dozen bills were passed on second read
ing.
blithe' House to-day, after going thro'
the putine ()piers, the entire session was
consumed in discussing a resolution which
had previously passed the Senate provid-
ing for the appointment of a Commission
to examine into the working and manage
ment or the different Insane Asylums of
the State,
to report at the next meeting
of the Legislature. The resolution pro
posed to appropriate 42,000 for expenses,
which required it to receive the Consti

CARLSRI:IIE, February, 1878
Living in Baden's capital. under the very shad-
Ow of royalty, we had had abundant occasionJ tosee
its impersonation, tirand Duke Ftiedrlch—some.
times treading the paths of common humanity In
simple civilian's dress soinotimes in dazzling out
form at tie head of his troops, sometimes the cep.
tre of a faintly group in the theatre. Now we'were
to see him in his patriarchal capacity as father of
his country et the 'solemn opening of the Landtag.
The pomp and ceremony with which this event Is
celebrated seem, [omit' republican Ideas, little short
of !insured wheOitte considers that the whole Grand
Duchy of Baden could be contained a half. Cozen
times in the State of Pennsylvania. Having had
the good fortune to secure tickets we were at our
post In the gallery at an early hour. The Grand
Duke, with his suite and the meinbers Of both
-Houses, was still, attending a prefatory service lu
the court chapel, so ee employed the time In nialc.
ing a few observations from our exalted look-out.
At one end of•the small-sized hall, upon ,a raised
platform, was a-stately canopied throne surmount
ed by the Carlarnhe coat.of.arrns, with the motto :
Meantime the hall begins to fill np. There they
come, -those patriots, who aro to hold countless,
sessions and.wage bloodless battles over the weal

'swallow-tails and white cravats are the members
of the Lower House. They occupy the sixty-three
green cushioned seats, These in unfomfortable
looking uniforms and great cocked-hats pelong to
-the Upper House. They are of tire nobility—
either of birth or talent—and occupy the thirty
seven red culshoned arm-chairs. How thCbtrdi of

smooth-shaven Cathidic priests. How unmistakable

one figure above all .others fixed our - attention.
Not for its symmetry, surely, for It is tall and -un

size, and the whole man.conveys the impression of
being loosly strung together, like the jumping

sarcastic touch about the mouth belle his dress,

PHILADELPHIA, March _ 21.—The
. trial of Blasius Pistorius for the
murder t, f Jean Jacquett,e, at-Norris
town, July 24, 1875, was concluded
here to-day and the jury, after being
out nearly, four hours, retnrned a
verdict of guilty of murder in the
first de;gree. This is the second
tune that Pitorius'has been tried
for his, life for the same crime. After
being found guilty •in the first de,
greo Montgomery county his
case was appealed to• the supreme
court, on the ground that the defen
dant.luiving been a- catholic priest,
religious prejudice prevented IL fair
trial •in the county. The case was
then transferred •to Philadelphia
county and resulted to-day in a sec
ond conviction. A. motion will. be
made for a new trial'. '
. THE country has had two sessions
of a Democrate House, and if it' be .
wise it.will conclude when it ; conies
time to elect another that two sessions
,are too many. The , Rebellion was
sufficiently exhaustive of our resour
cea while the rebels mere in the field,
but their organized raids in Congress
upon the Treasury re likely to be
only, less costly. Ind ed, present ,ap.
pesranees indicate that what they
loSt in the field they are , determined
to `.recover in Congress. With even
a` bare majority in the Senate, and
with a President,; the Republicans
may folthe present prevent the sue
-6ess of the Southern raiders, but with
a minority in the Senate; and, posi
bi3t,,a Preident,.the solid Democra is
t
SOO, with its allies from the North,
East, and West, promises to .deplete
0 - 4 Treasury and bankrupt the Nation.
There is something startlin g in the
fact that in less tan a month these
Southern demands amounted to the
enormous sum of $150,000,000, and
if the Democrats come into absolute
power there is no reason, for the hoe
that ! theywill .inot, be yielded to.—

THERE is no denying the fact that
the present session of Congress has
had a very disturbing effect on the
business interests of the country. The
diaptistion- to tinker • the tariff, the
currency and the revenues, the heat
ed and partisan manner in which all
these great interests have !been dish
cussed, and the striking lack of abil
ity or desire to , treat national ques
tions in a national spirit, have crea
ted and kept alive_ a feverish state of
feeling not at all conducive to general
prosperity or progress. There is
probably not anintellig,ent man in
the United Statesi to-day, outside of
Washington, who does not-believe
than country would have been
better off in every point of view if
Congress had not met at all this
winter.—/ndiaapo/is Journal.

A GENLEMAN With an antiquarian
tarn of mind has been examining the
records of Congress on the Doorkeep•
er question. .He finds that since 1840
the Democrats have had trouble with
every Doorkeeper of the House whom
they have had the honor of electing.
It seems to be one of the traditions
of the party, and as a row, about a
Doorkeeper and as his paltry patron
age is on the level of the under
standing of the commonest mem
ber, ' the incentive to - indulge
is 'very strong. One of the
troubles of the Doorkeeping Depart
ment of the House seems to groW
out of the coupling of important du
ties with an insignificant title. 'Door
keeper doesn't sound well when snort
ed through the convolutions of the
trump of Fame. If the title of this
office could be changed to something
like DireCtor of • the House, Custodi
an of the House Barriers, or Sentinel
of the Watch Tower, a great amount
of power and dignity would hedge
the incumbent.— Washington Post.
