TttE House Committee on Coinage, Weights•and Measures, having reporty favorably on the bill authorizing the Sec r.JarY of the Treasury to exchange stan dard silver dollars for trade dollars, and providing that:no more trade dollars shall bo coined, it is not improbable that it will pass the IfouSe.

TIIE recent decision . of the Supreme Court of this State in a usury case is a niost important one, for it defines clearly the present condition of the law against usury The decision amounts to this : that it debtor Arho. contracts to pay more thTia six? per cent. interest, may, if he chooses,Alecline to pay the excess; but be cannot, as in former times, trepudiate .the whole debt. Ile can be compelled at least to pay six i er cent. " LOVE laughs at locksmiths," but it don't often send a young maiden to the nuptial altar, clothed only in her robe de suit. At Elizabeth City, N. C., a young lady was lately married undtjr peculiar - circumstances. She was about to elope with her.lover. tier father got kind of it, fired upon her lover, wounding him in the arm, Taking in the situation at a glance, the ouug girl tied from her room in her night clothes, joined her lover, and in this garb : tied to Hymen's altar. THE state of public opinion in tht43outh is shown by the, failure to secure ajury to try for the murder of Judge Git.- mEtt. The Kemper County massacre is still fresh in the recollection of our read ers, and the trial of one of the murderers was set down for last week. Nrs. mat, the widow of the murdered man, was in attendance, - but she had her long -journeys in vain as no jury could be had, and the trial was postponed. This pro- bably ends the farce - of attempting to ptinish, a man for the slight offense of nnirdeing Republicans in cold blood Tar Canadian weather prophet who announced a coneentrstion of the snows e of winter in the month of March ought to feel encouraged by, the weather returns of the first two weeks. He will need a gocid many snow storms; however; to comfoit him for the utter failure of his prophecies. for February. Weather pro pliets have the advantage possestied by all seers, that themass of people remember only their successes and forget all about their failures, eVen when the latter amount to ninety-nine per cent, of the to tal prOphecies. SOME of the Democratic papers have been terribly worried about the possible Republican candidate for the Presidency. And now a new source of tribulation is discovered. ,One of them is in fear "that the GRANT papers will support LAINEor SIIERMAN if either shall be nominated, and the BLAINE and SHERMAN paperi; Will support GRANT if lie shall lead the ticket," Which is much nearer , the truth than the ! Democratic papers at usually in the habit of getting. We stould be glad; to relieve their distress but we are afraid this anticipated calatnity is likely to come upon them. • ; • SENAToiCArtrENTErtmaynotbe versed in ornithology, but the verdancy he exhib i ited n reference to the Harrisburg "roes. ter." is delightfully amusing, Is it pOs . • Bible that the-legislative bird is unknown in Wisconsin? Certainly. Senator CAR reosvErt bas been "cock of the walk '• long enough to be thoroughly posted in thtf cognomen, either philologically, or . figuratively. .Yet in the P i. ETRO,FP trial, • when a witness testified thit the immac ulate P. asked him how he would like to be a "rooster," both Senator CARPENTER and Mr. Gows.s profesed ignorance of the term and its meaning. We can hard ly give 31r. flow:EN credit for verdancy, considering that the Reading Railroad has been fur years notoriously active in the Legislative Halls, and keeps every eiuter at Ifarrisburg a skilled corps of paid lobbyists. The witness, in answer to a question, proceeded to give a detlni- 1 tion of its meaning, as "s member of the Legislature• who would vote for a bill un. der the inspiration of a pecuniary consid eration." The explanation was satisfac tory to the legal gentleman. The term is a local one, originating at Harrisburg„ though why its suggested itself it is diffi cult to understand. Certainly there is nothing in the habits of the "bird of the ramping" to justify such an impbtation as is conveyed by designating the corrupt lobbyists of the Capitol as " relosters." There does not appearto be anything in the ha' 6bite oinature of the fowl; which apper tains W the lobby by way of comparison., Now that it has bad judicial investigation and applitation the terms will become, if not classical, at least established. Tuff Senate committee upon the negro exodus is beginning to get clown to the bottom facts of the movement. A negro witness from Louisiana testified that the black people were impelled to leave the State because, although they were free they were still treated ,as slaves, because their sufferings had become unendurable, and because they feared that if a Demo cratic President should be 'elected they would be denied the right of emigration. Now that the committee has undertaken I to summon witnessetofrom Louisiana we hear no more nonsense about ?Radical plots and Republican conspiracies. 'Ve hear only or Democratic persecutions and intense dread of Democratic supremacy. TUE truth of the old saying that " mis- I fortunes never come singly," was un pleasantly exemplified in Texas township, Wayne county, a few days ago,. at the fu neral of a young daughter.of Jour; CAMP BELL. The funeral procession bad just started, when a horse attached to the hearse became frightened at the noise caused by the closing of the hears© door, and ran away. The horse, hearse and coffin were thrown down an embankment, injuring the horse so badly that it had to be ed. The coffin was also thrown out of the hearse, but not broken. The afflicted family had returned home only a short time when the other twin daughter also I died of diphtheria. THE present British Parliament will be dissolved on the 23d instant, and soon thereafter writs for a new election will be issued, and the new Parliament will meet about the firs., of Slay. Tne present body Ass been in existence six years. The 'elec tion will cause great political excitement throughout Great Britain, as the contests are usually very warm, and oar cousins are not above the employment Or means of doubtful propriety when conducting a canvass. Unseating a membei of Par- liarnerit for bribing and corrupting voters is not unusual. Already some of the can didates are getting up "booms" to en sure re-election. DON•T BURN THE BRIDGES. There is an old rule, and a good one, which we would commend to the calm and earnest consideration of hysterical and terrified Republicans. It is not to cross a bridge before get ting to it. And our advice to the restless and crotchetcy is not to burn the bridges behind them. They may 'teed them to recross, and get back into the. Republican ranks before autumn has tinted the leaves. For while it is the privilege of every Republican to have his preferences and even his prejudices and to be for whoeVer be pleases for the Presidency, yet the time will- soon come when he must face the naked question as to wheth er or not he is willing to surrender the destinies and interests of the Nation into the hands of the Democ racy. Those unwise and excitable Re publicans who are working them selves into a- fury over the probable action of the Chicago Convention, will do well to allow reason and nioderation to ,'resume their sway., There is nothing in the probabilities which calls for the exhibition of tem per or which would eause a moment's ankiety: The 'diStinkuished and hon orable men who are likely to be nominated, are all worthy of the Sup port of every Republican. And he who goes about whining and growl ing, and declaring that he will not support such a man if nominated or that, defeat will inevitably come if some one else is named, is neither a sensible man nor a good Republican. When the nomination is made it be comes a simple question whether it is not better that the nominee of the Republican party, though he may not be,our favOrite, shall be chosen, or whether we would have a Democratic administration, with its consequent reaction and mischief. What might be expected in the lattet case, should the Democracy get into pssession of all the branches of the - government, has - been clearly foreshadovied by the proCeedings of the extra session, and the attempted usurpation in Maine. We respeca partizan whO declares himself frankly or emphatically for GRANT or BLAINE or SHERMAN. It is the distinguishing characteristic of the Republican party that it allows Free Speech. But it is pot necessary heca f use we are partial to any man that we should work ourselves into a frenzy, and do or say things which are calculated to embarrass our fu ture:action; and hazar,d party success: ThOidiculious prominence given to the "third term" spook, is unworthy of the men who are engaged in mag nifying it, and while they dool be lieve there is any danger or import ance attached to it, is nevertheless from its constant reiteration caleula ted to • work mischief, should Gen. GEANT be nominated. Then there are partizans of the other candidates who assert with lugrubious coun tenances, that the Maine statesman is vulnerable, and that a campaign with him as a standard bearer Would be a defensive one. Even SuEnsuat, with his past record for consistent devotion to the principles of the party, and his brilliant achievements in his present position, not does es cape the attacks of 'indiscreet and jealous men. And there are allot of superfine Republicans who are against everybody named, and who hay.c not found a man immaculate enough to . deserve and ooMmand their support. Now we earnestly and in a friend ly spirit renew our advice to all these people, not to burn their bridges. The campaign of 1872 should at once be a reminder and a warning. . Then there i was great oppositiOn to the re oomination of Gen. GRANT. Promi nent, Republicans in every State were committed not only to oppose his nomination itut election. •It seemed early in the campaign as if the diver sion was of such magnitude that overwhelming defeat was to come to the copimander who had never suffer ed defeat. . But before the election those who had not burned their bridges were glad to recross them, and the rout of the Democracy was complete. Many of, those who had committed themselves not to vote for him were ready to east their ballots in his favor when the polls opened, and t hose who persevered in their op position have almost unanimously re pented their i ' indiscretion. There is nothing at present which justifies .any Republican in declaring that he will not suppOrt cheerfully and zealously the Republican nomi nee. lit is not certain who that nomi-- nee will be. Certainly of all the men named as possible candidates there is not one wlia is not worthy of the support of every Republican. The least desirable of them is !better than the best Democrat, and it is not at all likely that the leapt objectionable Democrat will be the candidate of that party: The issues are to be' sharply defined, and there can be no ,opportunity 'for mistaking the duty of every lover of his country. Per sonal preferences and petty prejudices sink into insignificance when com pared with the welfare of the Nation. The question Which every voter will haie to meet, is whether the Repub lican party shall cont4nue to adminia: ter the affairs of the Nation, or whether the party which attempted to destroy the Nation shall be en trusted with its, control. The minor questions which . are now being agitat ed should not weigh as a feather in the balance. And we predict that be fore the day of election comes, the Republican party will present an un divided front, and will march with un broken and invincible columns, to a brilliant victory. If there are any malcontents, or incipient disorganiz ers or rebels, we advise them not to born their bridges, because they wilt find them handy when they are harrY ing back into the Republican' ranks. As we announced last week, Messrs. KIMBLE, SALTER, REMBEROZR and CRAWFORD, indicted for " corrupt solicita tion" of members of the Legislature in connection with the Riots Damage bill, pleaded guilty, when arranged •in the Dauphin County Court. Mr. KIMBLE'S plea of guilty was accompanied by a qualifying statement that while admitting his guilt, he denied being "corruptly " a transgressor, 'which Judge PEs.rtso's der dined to accept. The trial of EMIL J. PETROFF resulted in a conviction on both counts ,of the indictment. The Judge fixed upon the 29th of March, as the time when he will pass sentence. The trial of the remainder of the cases was iiostponed until April next. The legal penalty of the offense to which these four plead guilty is a fine not exceeding $lOOO, and an imprisonment not exceeding two years. A formal announcement is made by advertisement in a Harrisburg paper, the five. men` awaiting sedtence of th r a tendon to apply to the Board of 'Pardons fora remission of whatever pen alty may be imposed upon them. It is given out that the pleirs of, guilty were made "under a .more or less definite understanding with the prosecution that the . moral effect of a public conviction was more to be desired than the imprison ment of the parties accused, and that the leading actors in the prosecution will not appear before the Board of Pardons add renew the battle there." Whatever l of truth theremay be in this statement, the public will receive with great satisfactiOn the certainty of the fact, that this prose cution is likely to create a more healthy atmosphere about the halls of legislation, and that professional lobbying will be .done away with for a time, at least. These are dozens of men, throughout the State, more richly deserving of punishment than those now caught in the toils, and the offenders who now await sentence are by rr) means the most culpable. That . they will be dealt with in ' such a way as will beit preserve the interests of, .public morality, we have no doubt, and the un pleasant predicament in which they are placed, will deter others from following their example. TUE condition of affairs has reached such a threatening and dangerous attli tude in San Francisco, that.the law-abid ing and orderly portion of the popu lation bas been impelled to organize un der the name of the "Citizens' Protective Union," and have made I formal an nouncement of their organization and purposed. The preparations of the or der-loving citizens for the putting down of disturbances, the protection of proper ty,. and the prompt punishMent of the agitators and incendiaries, were so mani fest, and the recollection of the old-time vihilance committee so vivid and sugges tive of unpleasant' consequences to" the agitators, th it the Kearneyites have call ed a halt, and protest that their incendia ry utterances were mere "sound and fu ry, signifying nothing." It is but a few drys since that the sand-lot orators were uttering their fearfdl denunciations and uttering their bloody, threats, and the as- sembleooodlums were passing resolu tions that if interfered with in their de signs on tChina-town they would "visit upon the low, designing minions of pow. er, backed though they may be by cow ardly capitalists and corporations, punish ment so swift and speedy that- readers of history will shudder at the record." And Mayor KALLOCIE, in a speech made the same day, said that the resolutions in sub stance embodied his views I The order loving citizens of San Francisco are so de termined, and their .preparations for promptly squelching violence are so effi cient, *hat the ruffians have been cowed, and now the Mayor wonders that anybo dy could have thought the cut-throats anything but meek and gentle supporters of law and order. It is probable that all danger has pawed, and that no eiil con sequences will result, except such as have lready been experienced frornaittempo rary shccese of unprincipled deunkoaties.

SENATOR. CAMERON is reported as hav ing assured a delegation of ehiladelphis polticians that his " faith in the fact that GRANT would be nominated remained un shaken ; that be didn't believe there would be a ballot, but that the nomina tion would be made by acclamation ; that the advices he received werel thit Ken tucky, Tininessee and Missouri would de clare for IGRANT, stud that eien ihougb, BLAINE_ claimed the Indiana delegation, that GRANT would get the half of it. Fur ther, that he thought that Grissur's nom ination would be alusuied at least two weeks before the convention. Elam B. Piresunuiiiiir, of Illinois, ar rived at St. Louis a fe'w days ago, and was closeted most of the day with leading Missouri Republicans. 'To a peTtsistent interviewer be said he bad no, doubt that GRANT would be nominated at Chicago and that the Illinois. delegation would be a unit for him. A dispatch to the Philadelphia Record says : The latest convert •to Graittimn is President HATES, who-haft said within a few days that he favored the nomination' of President GRANT. All of which our readers we at liberty to take with as i inany grains of allowance as pleases literal. THE presence of M.

The message contains the folloWing in refer ence to the proposed Panania Canal: "The policy of this country isa canal um der American control. The United States cannot consent to the surrender of this control to any European power in to any combination of European powers. The capital invested by citizens or corpora tions of other countries in such an bnter prise must in a great degree look for pro tection to ono or more of the great pow ers of the world. No European power can intervene such protection without adopting measures on , this continent which the United States would deem wholly inadmissible." Simian:AßT SIiERMAN , has written a letter to a friend in Chicago, inwhich he says "The first public mention of my candidacy was in the inference drawn from my letter to the Hon. bir. lissaix, of New York, in which I stated what I would seek to do in case of my nomina tion and election. Since that time I have been considered by the public as a candi date, and have so regarded myself with the purpose neither to press any one• to support me, nor to decline such friendly aid as is offered me. This positition I in tend to occupy to the end. I do not think it necessary for me to,belittle or arraign General GRANT, Senator Mem, or any one else, nor will I nee my official, posi tion to promote my candidacy." Which is a very dignified tind,proper position to occupy, and one which will command the respect of the whole country. Tan ,'Butler, Pa., Citizen, discruiaing =: - • " dark horses " for the P residential nomi nation has the following : " Speaking of the " dark horse " that may be introduced and carry off the nomination at the Chicago convention, who would be a better man, if such a compromise has to be made, than Hon. Galusha A. Grow, of our own State? 'He would give satisfaction to all in an emi nent ,degree and be a candidate whom all would be proud of. Senator Blaine le also a Pennsylvanian by birth, and that is one of the reasons why the Republicans of this State have rallied to bim as they have. ' We feel confident of his nomina tion, and believe he should have it, but if there is a "dark horse" in the matter then we say, Galasba A. Grow. Garfield, Edmunds or Washburn would be good, but Grow better." STRAWS 1 The instFuctions l for Judge EDMUNDS in Vermont are said to ensure the votes for GRANT. The latest from North Carolina is that Sumatra; already has seven, and will have eight more of that State's delegation. Micldgan was at first thought 'certain for GRANT, but BLAINE will have a number 44 . delegates therefrom. Three ex-Governors.—BouT. wr.u, CLAFLIN and Race—will be dele gates-at-large from Massachusetts to Chicago, and they are GRANT men. HENRY G. VENNOII. of Montreal, who. has attained considerable celebrity for his weather forecasts, givrs the following as his latest : "There will be snowfalls in differint parts of the ,I.lnited States and in Europe. during April and otrertfely backward weather in. the fore part of May. The finest part of the year 1880 will be its latter half. Further details, with dates, will be attempted toward the first part of May." THERE will be to vote for'on the State ticket this year in Pennsylvania, one per son for Auditor-General in place of Scurst.t., and one for Suprenie Judge in place of Judge WOODWARD, deceased. Besides the two State officers, there will be a full delegation of Congressmen to be chosen, 25 members of the_ State Senate, 210 members of the House of Representa tives, and large county tickets.° This, in addition•to the Presidential contest; will make a lively campaign next PAR.

Senator Conkling's Speech and the Utica Convention 'it. may seem presumptuous for a common'scribj bier to criticise the speech of the groat Senator from New Yea ; and If the speech were Indeed as great as the Senators reputation,and as unanswer able as the Eitnira ddrerti•eic the New York Com- mereiat Advertiser andlds other fulsome Battersea bsee declared' It to be, then It would be preaumptu oiie as the attack of David an Go;lathe/tad no such 'successful termination for the suallant could be hoped, for. But the speech Is not "a masterpiece of oratory,"-and except for Its arrogance might have been made by any well-informed boy . in a debating school. Mr. Cankling is s goad - lawyer, and knows how to present the strong points of his case to good advantage, howto be bitter and ear- castle to those who differ with him to opittloa, and how tobide the weak points tableaus, by'• abusing the plaintitranttorne,l.' , it to my to see that his Rental knowledis Is hot extensive, and that the stock of English words In his vodbulary Is sesta, as the tools In the kit of a traveling tinker, and are made to do such constant and repeated titmice. In season and out of season, that some of them fairly groan with weariness. Here is a specimen of the Utica speech which his admirers say "sur prised everybody" and In which "he excelled himself ": "If delegations are to go to represent not - their own will, bat the will and judgment of those behind them, what is the -objection, what would not be the cowardice of our manly saying what we believe 1" What he says In the above Sentence when stated In direct terms, without rug circumlocution or eraw-dsh rhetoric, is precisely this: 1. The dele gation from this State to Chicago is to represent not their own will,•nor the will of the people In their districts, but the will and Judgment of those behind them. 2. The Graaf majority in this Convention la behind them. 3. It the Grant ma jority, having the porer.ldoes not Instinct them to vote for Grant, then the Grant men are Cowards He appeals , to their State pride to have their del egation Instriaeted to, vote u a unit. He ram Ironically " How, proud we should feel If on the roll coming down td the letter N, New York Is called, and some of her delegates Tote for one man lend some for another, and -when It comes to be annoanced, fl they virtually neutralised each other and telt the roll-call where It was, and then comes 'little New Hatnpstdre and casts her ten votes and she determines the ballot. , Would not the Itepob- Brans of Now York feel proud In the presence of such $ result?" Nos In the ease he supplies, it , seem' to us that f the people of New Torkare eo equally divided In their preferences between two candidates that their delegates would just neutralize ;each other "and leave the. roll-call where it was." that :it would be the best plan, and the one that would a the greatest satisfaction to the people, not only a that State but of others, not to ihstruct. but let tbe delegates be tree to represent the will of, the people In their respecelve districts. If near ly half the people in New York are for Blaine, there Is no good reason why the whole delegation from that State should be compelled to vote for Grant. In Pen.ssylvanla there Is undoubtedly a majority of the people erg , et a third-term Fred- dent, and yet the Pennsylvania delegation is ex pected to vote solid for Grant. No matter how old the precedent, nor bow great the men who father the iniquity, the nett doctrine; especially In States nearly equally divided; is a crime and an outrage. "We know," said Mr. Conklin', " the over whelming judgm-nt of the Republicans of this State.; let us state it honestly and fairly." The vote was taken at the close of this speech and re sulted as follows: " For the nominee of the Chica go Convention, whoever be may be," 180; for Grant, 217 ; majority for Grant, 27. Opinions dif fer, but if Mr. Conkling considers 37 majority "overwhelming" in a Convention of over 400 dele gates, then it is because he loves to use a big ward to represent small figures. When It is remembered that the Titles Convention was composed of one delegate from each assembly be:the num ber of Republican voters In it aver so small, and one additional del4ate fa each 1,800 Republican voters; and when we bear in mind that many of the assembly districts in the cities, and especially of New York and Brooklyn, are so strongly Demo. erotic that thp Republican votes are scarcely worth 1 Counting—and sometimes, we suspect., ,:tiOn't get counted ; and when we consider that.thele strong' Democratic districts with but few Republican voters In them almost without exception sent Grant delegates to the Convention, we are compelled to believe Mr. Corikling4 assertion of the " over whelming " judgment of the Republic-tuts of New York for Grant to be unwarranted and untrue ; and yet he demands that New York, like renneyi menta, In the Natlenta 'Convention shall be solid for the third-term candidaW It Is amusing to hear the great Senator talk of the country districts having teen ' carried against Grant " by an able corps of trained officials, with their salaries In their pockets, camped in a particular district and mak ing their headquarters in the saddle, carrying en au Setae campaign on the higterukte and th e by. roads for a month, particularly It the roads are had or the maw is deco." It will be news to the people in the country dtstrieta to learn that, con 'vary to President Hayes's civil service order, a maps of trained ofilcials have been monk them, riding hither and thither, on the high-roads and by-roads; when the Snow was deep and the rends bad, and succeeded in 'carrying so many of them against Grant.- . Somebody must have hoaxed Mr. Conkling, un less be' is troubled with a vivid Imagination, for nobody would sniper , the great Senator of lying. He is an honorable man. Hear him extol the cities where the Grant strength came from : "You may go MO • -city, a metropolitan district; you- may have the question fairly and an overwhelm. lug, unmistakable verdict is tar Gen. Grant.' ' It bra notbeen generally supposed that the inhabitants of the citlU are more Intelligent,' honest or patri- otie than the people In the country. Had it not been for the Republicans in the districts, Mr. Conkling would never have. seen tin inside of the Senate chamber except, as a spectator from the galleries.

The " etherial mildness" of the "gen tle spring" hal not been experienced dur ing the past week, but on the contrary " rude Bursae . bluideriug railer hes ruled with absolutwaway. bona of those who thought the spring had come in earnest have been bit terly dbewpointed. The truckers had al ready coMmenoed their gardening opera tions, and their green things have come to grief,! February gave the promise. of an early summer, but March preserves its old-time reputation for unreliability and inclemency One would suppose that the Lenten sea- son with its obligatory fasting and prayer would have the , effect to promote brother- ly feeling and .Christian chanty in the churches, but it does not appear to have settled the difficulties in Christ Church, and now a portion of the vestrymen are camped in the Chapel "holding tho fort,,! against the Rector and Church auttiori ties. The difficulty grew out of the re-: quest of the Rector for .the resignation of Rev. Mr. Hudge,who officiated_ as an as- sittant in the Chapel, which is a branch of Old Christ Church. lie promptly ten- dcred his resignation, but his vestry and congregation won't accept and refuse to give up possession of ,the Chapel. As possession is nine points in the law, —"a portion of the vestry 'keep watch and ward- by day and night in the building, and'are determined to stay until legally dispossessed. The Church militant still hold die entrenchments. William Cooper, of this city, who aban doned his business at the outbreak of the Rebellion, and gaVe his premises for the establishment of a refreshment, saloon, at which thousands of soldiers who were go ing to the front and returning from the war, were fed, died a few weeks ago, and now it is said his family aro in a condition in which aid would be acceptable. It sure ly is not a mere matter of charity that their wants should be responded to, for ° there are thousands in the States, wbo would consider it an honor to contribute to the relatives of one who was their ben- factor in years past.' Mr. Francis Murphy, the celebrated temperance advocate, has returned to this city, and will at once inaugurate a tent perance revival in the city churches. The annual commencement of the -Jef ferson Medical' College took place at noon at , the Academy of Music. The pro gramme comprised music by the Germa nia Orchestra,. Mr. William Stoll, Jr., conductor; a prayer by Rev. 1. 1. Nichol son; the conferring of degrees and priz es ; a valedictory address by Professor Robert E. Rogers, and . , benediction. There were one hundred rand ninety-six graduates, and at least twice that num ber of boquets and floral designs, present ed to the new-made M. D.'s by admiring friends. Jacob Miller, an intoxicated tramp, was arrested by Reserve Gouldey, Saturday afternoon, while endeavoring. to batter in with a stick ono of the massive plate win dows of Bailey's jewelry store, Twelfth and Chestnut streets. The advance guard of the " salvation army" from London, has reached this city, and arranged for holding meetings. The corps of workers is English, and has been well known there for tke last two or three years. Their idea is to bring the Gospel into the streets, to the ignorant and poor. Their usual plan -is to take hold of hands, dressed in a peculiar -garb, match lug into some crowded thoroughfare, singing hymns, - set -to a popular tune. When a crowd is gathered they begin to preach. There are now one hundred and twenty-five corps and stations of the " Salvation Army " in Great Britain, with one hundred and seventy-nine officers wholly employed in its labor. Friends of the work claim that through its influence "the character:of the whole - population of South Wales has been changed, the charge sheets of the police courts have been greatly reduced, the liquor traffic has almost suspended, and whole counties_ have been roused to spiritual concern." They will unquestionably attract much attention here, but it_ is questionable if their methods are suited to the necessi ties or habits of our people. We have too many churches, which are free to all, to , necessitate 4u4h gospel eeremonies. Street preaching is common here, but does not seem to be successful. During the past three or four weeks some of the , most noted convicts in the Eastern Penitentiary have become very ill. P This is especially the case with those_ who have long terms to serve. Their sys tems seem to have broken down complete ly, and one of them, Ike Marsh, a notori ous burglar, is exceedingly sick. Dave Cummings, an equally notorious robber, is ill, and Colonel Rollins, the Chambers lburg brink robber, is fast failing. These men !were all high livers when at large, had plenty of money and spent it freely. Their confinement 'has been mare than they could bear, and they may go under. Early on Wednesday morning' last, an elephant, said to be the first ever born in ,captivity, was ushered into existence in the building on Ridge Road, in which the animals belonging to Cooper S. Bailey's menagerie are kept. The matter is con sidered important in a scientific point of view, and Drs. Chapman and Leidy Will report concerning it. The baby elephant is thirty inches high, Measures thirty-five inches from the trunk to the crupper and weighs two hundred and thirteen pounds. Twenty minutes after its birth it was trotting around the cage and endeavoring to insert its trunk into the pockets of those present, as older elephants do. The mother became so angry at interference with it, that she had to be chained. A. J. Cieekmore, while engaged on L Wednesday afternoon, in painting near movie machinery in a - building, an neth street, had his' , clothes ; caught by - the shaft, his bead and feet at each striking alternately the ceiling . tut.l the iloor. His skttil was &nattered - itl several' places and the lower put of ilia bodt shockingly mangled . ; • - - The Supreme Court` of this State, on Monday last, rendered a decision against the claims of a number of heirs of tLe Gi rard estate, who had tiled ahill in equity against'tbe city of Philadelphia, to rem- . er the personal and real estate, left by Stephen Girard, conditionally for the sup port of the co/lege-4bn claimants assert ing that as the permanent fund - for that purpose was more than sufficient for the maintenance of the institution, •the be t. quest Was void, and they are entitled to the property. • * WASHINGTON LETTER. wasnisirros, D. c., It+ren U Um ! When-the Grant and anti-Grant men were struggling for supremacy in Penn sylvania, the. Democrats were loud in their predictions of a split in the Republi can ranks. But that struggle was mere pleasantry compared with the bitter fight now being waged there between t h e Til den and anti-Tilden factions. They are going for each- other like Kilkeny cats. The State Convention meets at Pittsburg od the 18th instant, and to control its ac tion is the nbject to be- attained. i It is generally Onceded, that - 1 if Tilden con trols the Pennsylvania delegates, his nom ination is assured. Ilene the anti-Til denites are doing their level best. But it is of no use—Tiiden is going for.the empty honer of the Democratic Presidential nomination in a way that means success ; and one that his opponents being linable to cope with, hate him all the more for. The "moral obligation " the party owes he is bound it *shall pay, or else suffer. The proceedings in Congress show - that the party realize this, hence they -are careless of their record, reckless and des perate. By the way—the latest Demo cratic Combination is '" Tilden and Fitz John Porter," because they " both seek vindication;" - The Democrats in their endeavors to make political capital, seem to have lost sight of Mr. Wood's three and one-half per cent. refunding bill which they prom ised to pass in a hurry. Although this measure is of doubtful poliey'to Republi ' cans yet it would seem that argument 'upon it would be safer for the Democrats than that now engaged in. Several days ago Mr. Wood made an able speech on his bill, and his Democratic brethren, un able to appreciate a really good speech, coolly left the, Hall, leaving their financial champion tu:Speak to a far more appreci ative Republican audience. But 'When Mr. House made his slanderous attack upon the Republican administration, every -Democrat was in his•seat, smiling appro val. The average Democratic' Congress cannot grasp• . anything deeper that- a stumptqieech. The protection of the Indian Territory, pending the action of Congress, is, the subject of much anxiety in army circles, and it has been determined that if ,the force - now there is inadequate to prevent trespass, the. available force in the East will be sent out. It is not vibe believed, however, that the people will disobey the " President's pi oclamation. The openin; of the Indian Territory is only a matter of time.

He would pass judgment without prejudice, feeling or vindictiveness, but the sentence impoised would indicate the estimate of the gravitrof the offense. KEARNEY re ceived the sentence in silence, but his' fea tures indicated intense surprise and indig, nation. He previously - stated that he ex pected to get off with a fine of twenty dollars., After-leaving the court, he free ly expressed his anger and chagrin, de nouncing the penalty as outrageous, and claiming that he would beat it. - Proba bly in the expectation of a nominal sen tence, his counsel neglected to demand a jury trial, and having no resource in that direction, filed an appeal to the Superior Court, furnishing bonds of $3,000. Many expressions of gratification at the Judge's action have been heard on all sides. He was.senteticed to pay a fine of $l,OOO and undergo an imprisonment of six months.
