State associations- which formerly existed,.and which were broken up in deference to the President's civil Service views. It is stated that the re stiscitation of -these organizations is ob jectionable to the President, principallyt, from the well-ascertained fact that they were used by certain parties as a means of advancing their personal Interests, and controlling or influencing appointments. If such was the case, and it appears to be a well-established fact, it is a s well that they • should not bo organized. There is no objection made to the clerks and others in the department's being active in promoting the success of the Republican party, provided they do not neglect their official duties. ; • ,• - - , GlEtimaxv is evidently considering the propriety of retracing its steps in the de monetization of silver.

WRIGHT ischairman of a Congressional Committee which is earn estly seeking for some evidences of,- in dustrial „stagnation and commercial dis tress. The Committee has lately been in session at Chicago, with anything but satisfactory results as regards the confir mation of the peculiar• theories of the venerable demagogue who is chairman. The drift of the testimony-has been un mistakably in the direction of the conclu sion that the turn of the tide has e:Om menced and that for a considerable tiime it had been steadily rising.

IL cently it was di„qtovered that a lot of Republican documents had been Mailed from one of the Committee rooms, to Ohio, under General EWIM;'s frank. The discovery created great consterna -tion, and the *apprehension of fraud or. treachery.

COL. STANLEY WoonwAnn was a can didate for nomination fi,r County Judge in the Democratic Convention of Luzerne county, which met Ltst week. The Colonel failed to get the nomination, the honor being conferred on Wm. S. 314 EA S. Neither the Colonel's admitted ability,,nor the honored name he beats, were sufficient recommendations to • secure him the sup port of the unterritied. I Col. W. last fall voted for Governor Hort., his intimate friend, on personal grounds, which may have had 'something to do with the action of the Convention. The Colonel is too respectable a man to belong to the Demo cratic party; and particularly such a DemocratieParty as there 'exists in Lu zerne county. THE Riot Investigating Committee held a meeting in Harrisburg on Friday, to consider the matter of prosecuting the fiarties charged• with corrupt solicitation in connection with the attempted passage of the Pittsburg Riot bill. The sentiment developed, saps the despatch, was unani mously favorable to an early prosdcution, and warrants will be issued for the arrest of the accused in: time for trial at the August term of Court. Why this has not been done before . .this, is one of the things "no fellow can find out." The' accused arc anx,usly expecting to he asked to give bail and we are told that have it ready, but' for some unexplained reason, the public prosecutor fails to have them arrested. • Why this delay? is a question which ,tlle public would like to have satisfactorily;answered. 1 THE Commissioner . of Internal Rev enue has made an official examination of the accounts and records of all collectors of internal revenue throughout the country, for the year ending &in() 30, 1'679, with a view to ascertaining the de gree of faithfidness and efficiency with which they have discharged the duties of their otlim For the present fiscal year report's have been received from. 121 out. of the 126 collectorships in the United States, and shows a very gratifying con dition of the service. Not one dollar of public money passing through' the hands of the 121 collectors whose accounts have been 'examined has been lost or unaccount ed for, And no breach of trust of any knid has occurred in the revenue service during the year. This remarkable ex hibit of ()them' fidelity is the best possible evidence that could be given of the efficiency „with which the Treasury De partment now conducted and is the highest coinpliment which could be paid the heads of the Department. Junos: Wtslowsrtn of the Supreme . Court is rusticating in Northern New York, and we are pleased to learn is im proving in health. By the way, no Dem ocratic newspaper has given any repudia tion from the Judge of a reported conver sation wherein he expressed the opinion "that the action of the Democratic party during the extra session displayed more insanity than he had every knovin in the history of any political organization since : he foundation of the government; that the course of the Democratic repre sentatives from Pennsylvania in Congress exceeded in concession to the retie!. ele ment in the South anything that ,was ever known in ante-bellum days" etc. The Times intimated that he was to ill to read the-newspapers, but promised when he was sufficiently recovered, some notice should be taken of Bach a remarkable declaration. But the Times does not al ways speak by authority, oven when it professes to be oracular, and when the "Judge is heard from it will Probably be in endoriement of the opinions credited to him, which are in consonance:!with his reputation for clear-hdadness and inde-. pendence.

The Mississippi method of controll ing nominations and conducting elec tion eampiigns Works well. - In fact, it may be 8341 to be perfect in its effectiveness.. It must certainly be satisfyingin Its . results to - those - who bury shouldered, their shottuns and set about the task of ereatinga , "Solid South." Having very thorotighly re. formed the politics of the South, and cleared the political atmosphere of nny clouds which might have obscured the sky in the shape of Republidan ballots,it would seem as if the great moral battle was fought. and won, and that the , gentle reformers might lay aside , the shot-gun and bow;e. knife, and cease. from the . eiercise of bull-dozing and whipping negroes, and turn their energies to other and more peaceful, if not as congenial, pursuits. . , Some one, apologizing for the e cesses and outrages Perpetrated Upon he Republicans of the South, prom- A i sed that when the Ninth would stop nterfering with their domestic mat ers, that everything would be lovely n the South, and that. political div is- ons would occur, and Me "Solid South " would be solid nn - longer. The work of wiping out the Repub lican party in the South having. been accomplished, the actors in the hu mane and liberal movement, in some instances, not being exactly satisfied with the resultS personally, have dared to object to the action of the Democ-, racy, and to offer themselves. as can- didates without the sanction of a Democratic caucus. Of course, such treason could not be toletated. There is a short and effectual way of , dis posing of such as rebel , against the dictation of the heroes of the "Yazoo plan." It only aggravates the offense that the recusant should have been active and efficient in the work of reformation which has been so gen erouslkand-effeetively consummated• In ,Vapo.cOunty, Mississippi, the work of reforination has been thor ougl4 done. In IH7l'the Republican vote was 2,9611 . 3 the Democratic vote, 997. But VI 1 , 575, the Democratic missionaries took the matter in hand, find so earnest and etrective was their that there were but 7 Repub lican votes cast in the county, while the Democratic vote has wonderfull ricreased to 4,051! Of course, this surprising change was only accom plished by hard work. And the most active in the ranks tif the regenera tors was Capt. If. M. DIXON. So prominent were his services, and so highly were they appreciated by his fellow-Democrats, that they presented him with a massive silver pitcher as. a mark of their grateful esteem. Capt. Dixon very properly consid-i ered that--134 . s i serVices in the cause of Democractitled him to recogni-' -Lion and re-rd in the shape of office. So he asked the Democratic Conven tion to nominate hint for the office of Sheriff. This the Conception failed to do, and Cbptain DIXON set - himself ub as an Independent-Democratic candidate. Now if a Republican can be squelched, so can als'o a rebellious Democrat. Accordingly; the bull dozers asSeriibled and notified Capt. DIXON to-retire from the canvass as a candidate or leave the county. Ile very sensibly chose the former alter native, having a very proper estimate of the faithfulness with which the bulldozing edicts were executed. Judge :Moan's, late Attoyney Gen eral of the State, was addressed by some of the citizens of Yazoo county who had favored the Democratic candidate, asking his advice under the circumstances. The Judge's re ply is remarkable, as admittintkvery thing which has ever been alleged in' regard to the illegal, revolutionary and brutal means employed in wiping out the Republican vote. The Judge says that the remedy for the evils complained o'f'Ouglit to be abundant and 'speedy. But under existing cir cumstances it is painful to have to admit that 'practically the laws are a dead letter and the judiciary a dead system, because fraud and violence in elections and fraud and perjury in covering them up have in too man instances been the chief instrume. - talities by which . public officers gOt into power, and by which they expect to retain it. After this candid con fession and arraignment of the Dem ocratic party, the Judge asks the fol lowing question : " Admitting for ilo;. present that violence and crime were the apptopriate remedies for the extra ordinary evils u ith which ae bare been occasin ally beset. still the miesti, n Is forced open us: Are those Astra mentalities to be the ordinary and per manent policy of Mississippi throng!, all time? Li there to be no time In our history when these appli ances shall be abandoned '.+'• The "appliances " which arc here mentioned are the shot-gun' and the revolver, the midnight meetings of masked men, the shooting of negroes, and the cruel and barbarous treat- Meat of white Republicans. Is it expected that " appliances " which have been so effectual in securing _undisputed Democratic rule likely to be. abandoned by the men who have demonstrated the efficacy of such " instrumentalities ?" Yet, there are honest Demobrats in the North who have been incredulous as to the well authenticated evidence in regard..to the outrages upon Southern Republi cans and the ; " appliances." by'which the Republican vote was "wiped out." The frank admission of Judge Men ai:4, and his lament that the bull dozing tactics which made a " Solid South " should be perpetuated, ought to satisty every intelligent and can did man not e i Uly of- the truthfulness of the reports which have reached us of fraud and violence in the South, but of , the great danger to the liber ties of the citizen should the perpe trators of these outrages secure con trol of the Government, THE public debt statement for the month of July shows an increase of over six million dollars. This rather unpleasant' exhibit is due to the fact of the payment cruarrmages of pen sions, the money for . tbak purpose be ing taken tiign the fund held for the redemption,of outstanding fractional currency. It wasmatundly expected that the payment of the large amount of pension arrearages would increase the principal of the national debt. to some extent. THE resumptinn of specie payments having now been established, there is a steady and solid movement towards the. restoration of business and industrial prosperity. The Dem ocratie leaders tried with all their might to defeat this restoration, but the persistency and courage of Secre tary SHERMAN, sustained by the Republican Congressmen, triumph ed in - making the paper money of the country equal to gold, and giv ing a conildence to business. people that is now producing very gratify fruits. This practical illustra of the soundness of the Republi can financial policy should oe par- Licularly noticed by the people. ing tion TUE Washington Sunday Chron 7 isle says that but a- very small' per centage of thoie holding offices in the department at Washington are Ae. publican voters. This is where the Republican party is weak in its political policy. Too many of its prominent men, when they get ii to office, forget the interest of -the organization that elevated them and turn their backs on the Republican workers, who are the wheel horse of the party. The Democrats aot—dif ferently, and hence with their inde fensible principles are° able to keep up a strong and compact organiza tion. SECRETARY Sur.amAti represents' i the political situation n- Maine as highly satisfactory and encouraging. Re is confident that the campaign will end in a sweeping Republican success, thus recovering the ground lost there last year. During his so- . journ in thht State he delivered five speeches in the most thickly populat ed districts, and the effect is said to have been very satisfactory. The Secretary will go. to Ohio shortly and deliver a few speeches in that State. WE are sorry to see the N. Y. Sun still so badly afflicted with the CAm- Enos phobia, and no . prospect of con valescence.: It repeats is annual cry about the Republican State Conven tion of Pennsylvania.being controlled by the CAMERON influence, and states that Mr. Bert.ta, if elected, "will do their will."' The Sun is to be pitied for its ignorance or mendacity. When a paper asserts what every , one knows to be false it simply de ,stroys its own influence. ALL accounts agree that the com ing fall will see a mighty uprising of the colored population of the Smith in an exodus such as will exceed anything that has yet taken place in , that section. It is an ascertained,' fact that every colored man and woman in the old slave States of the Mississippi Valley are boarding their earnings in anticipation of this gr6at movement, which is , the only theme of sermons, prayers and conversation in that, section. THE _yellow fever continues to spread in Memphis, but so slowly as scarcely to amount to an epidemic. and the authorities hesitate to pro claim officially that it exists in that form. Thus far there has been no occasion for the scare that has pre vailed. More people are dying in that city of other diseases than of yellow fever. - THE Secretary of the Treasury has approved the.fopinion of the Solici tor of the Treabury„ and decided to remit all fines and penalties incurred by the vessels of the Memphis and St. Louis racket Company by car rying an excess . of passengers dur ing the exodus of colored people ,from MissisSippi and Louisiana. LETTER, P3Oll PHILADELPHIA. PHILADELPHIA, August /I, 1879 The Pennsylvania Railroad . Company has been for some time past, quietly buy ing the properties bounded by the Schuyl kill river and Fifteenth street, and, Mar ket and Filbert streets, for the purpose of transferring their depot, on the" principle that railway etimpanies must seek the centres of travel. In foreign countries, in all the great cities, the 'depots of the prin., ciple railways are located the very heart of the town, often at an enormous expense. The Pennsylvania Directors recognizing the advantages of a central depot, have settled the details of a plan _by which the terminus of their road is to be transferred to Fifteenth and Market streets. The, project inclirdes a double track iron bridge across the Schuylkill, on the line of Filbert street, with nine tracks thence to Fifteenth street, brought. in on a grade about seventeen feet above the street grade. Passengers will be land ed on the second floor of the depot, while the freight cars will be lowered to the street level by hydraulic apparatus arid shifted by transfer tables as may be de sired. • The whole costFof this great im. provement will probably be from two to three millions of dollars. • The Reading Comi4ny is pushing its connection for the North Pennsylvania at Ninth and Green streets as rapidly as possible, and in a very short , time will have a central terminus. Surveys are be ing made for another road to Bethlehem, to afford an independent outlet for the Lehigh Valley. Such la road will soon be necessary, as the Lehigh Cannot afford to be at the mercy of the Reading. Charles Feehter.,the well-known actor, died at. his residence near Quakertown, on Monday night iat ten o'clock. He bad not been on the stage] for some months, having sustained injuries from the falling of a platform, living I a retired life and playing at farming. His remains were brought to this city for interment, and his funeral was largeiy attended by the profession. Tho brig Shasta br Bellow foi•er to Qu• ago.

The notice to take down the Exhibition bitikiing has caused considerable corer meat, which is universally adverse to the proposition, It would stern as if there should be public enterprise enough in this city of half a million - inhabitants, notonly to preserve this memento of 'the great ex hibition, but also to appreciate and second the efforts of the management to keep up 'an exhibition worthy pf the notice of the public. Dr. Paxson, President -of the Permanent Exhibition Company, states that the Board of Managers are about to prepare an addrras to the Park Commis sion, soaring that not only shall the Com missim's notice to the Exhibition manag ers be withdraw; but also that the clause relating to the , vacating of the premises shall be rescinded. Dr. Paxson says that unless this is done it will be useless to go ahead with the Exhibition. • Preparations a:e in progress to give Hon. John Welsh, late Minister to Eng land a proper reception, upon his arrival home in this city. • The excursion boat, Mary Morgan, with about one hundred and fifty passengers, collided with the propellor Piermont, near Fort Delaware, Friday night. Luckily no one was injured, but the propellor was dunk and 5,000 baskets of peaches and a large quantity of other Delaware produce went to feed the fishes. The city of magnificent distances, it may be said, is deserted. For many years past there has perhaps not been so great a flight of people as there has been during the present season. An unusual desire from some cause appears to prevail among all classes to get away, and consequently the flight has been steady and strong, giv ing the city a somewhat deserted and lonely appearance. But, judging from the great numbers that ate reported as being present at the fashionable resorts throughout the country, the mania, if it may be called such, is evidently not con fined tolhis locality alone. That Ruch a feeling should exist among the denizens of brick and mortar is not at all to be wondered at. With the •themometer standing steadily at ninety and over in the shade; and the perspiration streaming from every pore, an escape to the cool Breeze of the mountain or a dip in old ocean's wave is an enjoyment that is most fully telt and appreciated. Judging from the various routes that are taken by the many, we suppose that the degrees of enjoyment as well as the means to enjoy them are just as varied. Tbe. diplomat and the high official, it would seem, prefer to rest their tired limbs'and . 'wearied brains in secluded and far-off places, wherO the chinch is at rest and the mosquito ceases iron. troubling ; while' .the clerk—the hewer of wood and the drawer of water—must be content in a. less aristocratic way to rest his aching anatomy in twenty-five cent rides amid every-day scenes on the placid waters of the peaceful Potomac. • . In the rise and progress of the nation's Capital, it now for the first time in its history can. boast of -having two grand public gardens—one delightful for its flowery promenades, its music and danc ing, its excellent refreshments and charm ing opportunities presented for the enjoy ment of those little tete7d-teles supposed to be confined exclusively to romantic youth ; the other equally. as delightful for its brilliant illuminations, its cool breezes and voluptuous music, and where in hap py forgetfulness of the ills of life the lov.: era of the great German beverage—lager —4'in enjoy themselves in accordance with their capacity for hording the same. "To what base uses do we come at last." The old Seaton mansion, known and noted as being - once the elegant home of the editor of theNationol Intelligencer, where in the days of the past were wont to assemble Presidenta and Senators, dip lomats and the prominent men of the na tion to partake of the well-knowif hospi tality of its host, has, with all of. its fine surroundings, finally sunk into a• music hall and beer-garden. The great halls and vestibules, the verandas 'and grand stairways once fragrant with the bloom ing, orange and the shadowy olean der, are nowifilled with the aroma of limburger and lager, and in the grateful shades of its luxurious gardens, where with liberal hands were once . dispersed *tines and costly viands, is now found sairsage and pretzels and five-cent schooneis of beer. Among the many changes brought about by the whirligig of time, this, from its historical associations, appears to be one. of more than ordinary interest. But its glory has departed. The old walls that once re-echoed with the after-41inner speeches of Clay, Webster, Calhoun, and many others prominent in the history of our country, now resound with the blare of trombone and the blatant demands for more beer. The old saying, " that few die and none resign," is not altogether verified in the voluntary retirement of Judge Tabor, who for the past sixtPen years has occupied the position of Fourth Auditor of the Treasury Department:" Having arrived at that period of life when rest and work of a less labtrious character is demanded, he lays down the burdens and cares of office to younger and stronger hands. While he has been a faithfitland efficient officer, he does not appear to be one of those who think that their services cannot be dispensed with, that his retirement will in any way stop the wheels of gov ernment, or that his place cannot be sup plied. . The columns of the local press still con tinue to teem with discussions upon the subject of the removal of disabled soldiers from positions at the Capitol, and the ap pointment of ex-Confederates in • their places. The fact of having become dis abled in the service of their country Is no longer a favorable argument, and however much may be said upon the subject, it is plainly patent that the Democracy are fully determined upon no compromise on that score. There has, upon the part of. the Republican party; been extended for years past a mistaken generosity- towards their opponents, which it now appears finds no reciprocation.. While Confeder ates and Democrats are serenely reposing upon soft places, the guillotine is per forming active service upon the necks of active Republicans and mutilated soldiers.

There hi, however, some talk of a change to this effect being now made, but thii President., it is said, prefers that Mr. Ramsey should be one of his Cabinet advisers.

As the election in the State of Maine approaches, the contest appears to be getting warm and bitter. hard or soft money and the repeal of the Resumption Act appear tube the issues between the contending parties. ;The. recent speech of Secretary Sherman to the people of Maine ought to be a Sufficient answer to the Greenbackers, inflationists and those opposed to resumption. But whenever Secretary Sherman has anything to say in public-about the-accomplishment of re sumption,it is the habit of the Democratic press to exotiate and enlarge upon the deplorable and unfortunate incidents which through necessity accoMpanied the act. They are, hOwever, careful to omit all reference to the responsible causes which led to these results. They forget to say that resumption would not have been necessary if . there had been no war, and that the Democratic party - alone was responsible roe that war. In the light of these facts it appears that the Democracy, and not Mr; Sherman nor the Resumption act, is to be held to account for the mis fortunes which befell the country during the period of retraction—for the "wealthy men reduced to beggary," for the honest and industrious men degraded to tramp life, for the many wrecked•families, for toe h o mes blighted, fur the lives emMt tered and fur the inercas.• of the inmates of our alms-houses mad lunatic asylums, as well as for the hundreds of thousands of gallant men slain in battle, and the millions upon milliong of treasure spent in sectional strife. Every line written or word spoken in detraction of resumption reveals these facts, and despite Democrat ic: perversion of them, serve as. an admo .nition and warning against reposing any further trust or confidence in that party, STATE NEWS.
