THE Report of the Secretary of the
Treasury
,is‘the most important and in-
tcresting of the Sta t e papers which make ,
up the budget of Executiie information
for COngresiional guidance. It is full of
figures and fact's, nut - thary`of recommen
dation. The reason of this id doubtless to
be found" , in the fact that its authoi, as a
memberof an outgoing ' administration,
choosat.to deal with That has been done
.-rather than what should be done. The
proposed scheme for refunding the na
tional debt has solid merit. The restric
tion of the maximum Intel of interest to
' four per cent. upon bonds issued for this
`purpose is undoubtedly warranted by the
excellent -credit which the Government
findsjiself. There is ever reason to be
lieve that three - orthree and one-half per
neut. bonds may be readily floated in the
' present condition of the money markets
of the commercial nations.!' The solution
of the silver question by coining silver
dollare of equal value with gold dollars,
thus re-es tablishing a double standard
~
upon a new basis founded upon the pres
ent market price of silver bullion, is a
more doubtful expedient. It is: a ques
tion that should not be decided without
full discussion, and, if possible, an inter•
national understanding. The proposition
. to stop the coinage of short-weight dol
lars will meet .with general approval. The

Tux senseless talk about electing Gen
eral GRA...NT to the United States Senate
by the ,Legislature of Pennsylvania un
doubtedly has ita origin with the -*woe
people who were so frightened at the idea
of a - Third Term, and so apprehensive on
the subject of Cresarism. All this discus
siotras to General 13 , IIANT'S future, and
.11 - 0. plans for providing for him, do not
- come from his frierids, but from those
who would create a d sensation at the ex
pense of the distinguiShed soldier. Gen
eral CamErrou spoke the words of wisdom
and frietidehip when be ivaked.that the et u-
phi talk of GeneralPitsst's being in Ultra
ing for the Presidency In 1884, should be
emphatically and unequiyocally, denied.
The_venenible 'ex-Senator says Genus&
Gait is able to take. cars of himself;
and can adapt himself to almost any situ
ation, that meTazise. Tho constant treat
ment of General Gaswr as if he was's
pauper, who was in danger of stariation,
and incapable of providing for himself, is
not an act of friendship, and is calculated
to lower him in the public estimation. .
If wealthy friends see fit to bestow
upon General Garay a. portion of their
superfluous memo, it is no business of
the public. It In a matter between the
generonadonors end himself. But by far
the most proper testimonial of the
tion's . gratitude and appreciation of the
distinguished services of General Gnaw;
would be for Congress to carry out the
President's proposition, or to s put • him on
the-retired list of army, with rank Sod .
pay equivalent 'to that enjoyed by him
before he was elected President. There
would be a justice and propriety in .that •
whiaPorould be xecognized by every one,
and would be a substantird- acknowlede7
meat-. which bad no flavor of the poor
house.
Hut Gen. GRANT is not' eligible to the
place of United States Senator frail this
State, and if he was no sane man would
seriously entertain the idea of electing
him. His true friends will insist that his
name and fame shall be respected, and
not made use of in • connection with the
propositions which are Calculated, if not
intended, to belittle the one, and becloud
the other.
Tim trial of BENJAMItir K. BowraEE,
fof r the murder of his brother-in-law
HENRY W. Snorts, of Easton, began at
Honesdale, on the 6th inst. The trial at
tracted'uuusual interest, on acctount of
the standing of tlie parties, and the man . -
ner in which the crime was committed.
1t will be recollected that the victim was
sitting in-the law office of WILLIAM H.
Dtsmcs, when BORTREE walked in, and
drawing from his pocket a large pistol
placed the muzzle of the weapon against
SHOUSIeIt temple, firing two shots before
any one could interfere, with fatal effect,
as the wounded man 'was dead before
medical help arrived. A jury was em
panelled with some difficulty. The de.
finee was that Suousg's" unfairness to
wards glurrat:i.in money matters had
causcd the murderer's mind to ere way,
and that there wait' also hireditary insan-
ity. Many witnesses have beeoexamined,
xpers„ neighbors and relatives, and the
evid. ne. as sanity were very conflicting,
as is usual in such cases. •
THE situation of . the Senatoila
contest in this State is at once strik
ing, and anomalous. There is no
question as to where public senti
ment points. No one doubts but that
if the popular will was rspected Mr.
Gnow would be supported by two
thirdi or • more of the Republican
Members of the legislature. For
while nearly One-half of the members
have received positive instructions to
support him, in many other counties
the expression of the pill:0c 'Choice
was smell, that the obligation to vote
for Mar. Gnow is equally , binding.
up-to this time, his is the only
name presented which the public re
cognize as being especially_ fitted for
the place, or Which is snpported by
popular se - atiment among the massus.
So ';i:lear and unmistakOle is the
;popular demand for Mr. GROW'S elec
tioh, ihat it should be promptly ac.
knowledged and acceded to by all.
His unanimous election would .be a
proper acknowledgment of his dis
tinguished and valuable service to
to the party, and a graceful recogni
tion of the right of the people to ex
press their preferences, a hearty con
currence in , which would. : be credit
able, and of immense advantsgc4o
the Republican party in the future.
In defiance of this marked' and un
nistakable public demonstration, and
n opposition to the wishes of the
people, there are symptons of a de
sire, and possibly ; st scheme, having
for its object, an - attempt to thwart
the populir will, and there are vague
hints of plans to concentrate the op
position to Mr. GROW, upon this man
and that man, as names are suggest
ed which seem moat available to do
the work of effectually carrying out
the plot. There are rumors and hints
that Mr. esow to be defeated by
some 'indefinable but omnipotent•
power which is greater than the peo
ple themselves.
No legitimate Republican methods
can compass the defeat of Mr.Ginow.
It can only be brought about by im
proper and disreputable means; by
the grossest treachery on the part of
members of the legislature to their
constituents, and by a profligacy
which it is an insult , to a Republican
legialature for a moment to suppo — se
can Prevail.: It is assumed, hy those
who talk so flippantly about members
disobeying their instructions or dis
regarding the wishes of their conga.
uents, that there, is no integrity in
the Republican membeis, and that
they are to be manipulated into the
violation of their promises.. Suchen
assumption is a gross libel upon the
the members of the legislature and
xlisgraceful reflection—upon the good
name- of 'the Republican party. It
does no credit to men that they should
advance the dangerous and . perni
cious doctrine that the representative
may set aside tike plain and unequivo
cal instructions of his constituents,
or act contrary to their expressed de
sires. Those who mounsel or counte
nance such a course, are not only dis
honest and corrupt, but they would
lead the Republican party . to swift
and sure destruction. -
. Nor is the United State's Senator
ship the especial possessidn of a
r few
men, nor the Republican party of
Pennsylvania a close corporation. It
is no time to make mistakes, nor
count upon the compliance - of the
*pie with wrong doing because we
hilve unitedly and triumphantly
foUght an active canvass. Becauie
the people have manifested their pref
erences for United. States Senator, is
that' any reason why their choice
should be prejudiced, and his election
antagonized ? 'Wouldn't it be better
and wiser to relvet the will Of the

IT is greatly " to. be de,precated that
men who claim to bethe strong

With this feeling strongly impressed
upon us, we are pained to see the in•
adiOiOuti friends of Mr,: Gnow ; in
some few instances, hasieg the adva
cacy of his election -to the _United
States Senate upon the astsumption
that his candidacy an'agonizes any

ded or would necessarily be constru
ed to the rebuke of any suppositious
clique 'or clan. Sa r on the other hand,
there are -sni)erserxieeshle and India-

would, if possible,-bring about a sta e
of affairs that would force the Sen:
for to take par,t in the contest, an'
'who seek to excite Prejudice and corn
pel opposition to Mr. °now under
the false assumption that his election
would in some mysterious way preju.
(lice the political power and iEi tanding,
awl not be agreeable to the personal
feelings, of Senator CAMERON. Both
of these claises of professed friends,
have ulterior objects to.accomplish,
we very much fear, and are neither
actuated by an , unse'fish desire to
promote the welfare of, the Republi
can party, nor a :sole pur i pose of ad
vancing the political fortunes of the'
man they profess to champion.,
. The late Presidential canvass wig-
Cd and welded into a solid organiis
tionl those who' had ever professed to
advocate Republican measures. Past
dissensions were ' buried, divisons
reconciled, differences forgiven. Par
ticularly in Pennsylvania was thin, :
the case, and all 'factional lines, if'
any '"remained; melted awtiy' l *under,
the fervor and enthusiasm of the con
test, and the brilliancy. and satisfac
tion of the glorious result. There
are no factions in the great Republi
can party of.the State, and there. will
be none, if 'justice; honesty and a
reasonable amount of good sense pre
vail in its councils, allowing the peo
ple to rule, without flagrant attempts
to thwart theii expressed desires.
We deprecate and denounce all at

in our ranks, no matter from whence
they may come. Those who are
up at
tempting to stirstrife and Conte

of every true Republican.' It is not
'true that Mr. GROW'S election would

Hanniseuno, 4e u cember 10.—The
o nly candidate for .S. Senator who
thus far appears to have any pfonounc

Galusha A. Grow. This fars needs
no burnishing. His column appears
to-be unshaken, ;and the Undecided
attitude of his opponents adds to his

have recently been added the 6 votes

regard his candidacy with great favor,
and among whom some well-inform : -

of the pear approach of the Legisli.
Live session, is who shall succeed
,Wallace in the United States Senate.
The announcement made by Senator
Cameron, some time ago that he would
take no part in the fight has left the
opponents of Hon. Galusha A. Grow
in a quandary, and puts them is the
ungracious attitude' or fighting for
"pure cussedness" in the interests
of, nobody in particular. Senator
Jack Herr, of'Dauphin, who, dropped
in, here a ay or two
,ago has been
interviewed bi the Press, and thinks
that Hoyt is the man upon whom the
anti-Grow elements will , eventually.
concentrate. lie is not Savorably
disposed toward Mr. Grew whose
"defection in 1872 " he regards "as
a grave political mistake because if
he bad suceeeded thenhewoulti have
destroyed , the Republican party."
This —is• very' vague' and specifies
simply nothing, yet it furnishes a
hint of the latest libel which' Mr.
Grow's enemies are circulatink., Thes
, Maim , that in 1872 be talked, worked
and voted for Greeley. This is as
false, as that other exploded, slander
which represented him as an anti
tariff man. During ihe campaign .
referredito Mr. Grow Was in 'Texas
and did 'not make a single political
speech, neither did .he work o: vote
for Greeley. It israther a severe
commentaryon Mr. Grow's opponents
that they can do nothing bettersthan
tell lies about him, and thus.faethey
have been 'floundering, around . in a
sea of uncertainty as to whoin they
shill " tackle to" when the real con
test conies. Representative HeWit
of Blair, who has the inside track for
the speakership, has - been quoted us
opposed-to Grow, but this is a-mis
take,,as Mr. Hewit himself' assures
me he is not Working and will not
act in the interest of any. Senatorial'
candidate. I This of course strength
ens his position materially. Were
lie a pronounced, or even a passive
anti-Grow man, he would undoubted

WASHINGTON LETTER.
"' ~YABIII : ICyQOY , L. C., December 13, 1880.
The meeting of Congresslaftei an elec
tion is always , the occasion ' of greetings
on the part of the membersVariedaccoia
ing to their various fortunes (the can-
•
vase. Those who have successfully run
he gauntlet are fully impressed with a
sense, of their. good fortune, and anffersho
diminution of their self-esteem. 't They
accost their fellow members who have
been "left out " with expressions of re
gret " r and oommisgeration.. When con
gthere
metres4 b last week, were. many
pre nt who hid been struck by: ttie pop
ular: last in November, and they were
the ilubject of good, natured badinage,
while those who had been re-elected . ro
ceived the hearty congratulation of their
colleagues. There was a rerea4cable ab
sence of any evidence that the recent elec
tion, with its disastrous , overthrow of the
Democracy had left any animosities, but
there seemed to bee hearty acquiescence
in the result. •
When the hour of twelve arrived in the
Senate, about two-thirds of the grava and
reverend Senat2irs- were present . The .
scene was enlivened by the floral display,
as upon the desk of nearly every Senator
was a koquet, some Of .them magnificent
as to Size and .splendid as to appearance.
That the Government has its conservato
ries is probably the occasion of this lavish
display, vihich is literally sweetness,wast
ed on the desert air. After an invocation
of the :')iviue presence, came a brief in 7
terval of quiet when the President's mes
sage was read. Nobody listened' to it, as
Printed copies wore supplied, and when
.the wearied clerks had concluded their
task, the Senatori EoldEd their cloaks '
- around• them and like the 'Arabs quietly
,
stole away.
In the House the scene was livelier,'
though the attendance was small; There
were the Bamako:pets as at the other end
of the Capitol. Speakerßandall at
,pre;
cvsely twelve o'clock rapped histavel,'
and the House came to order. ' After a
short prayer, the business of the session
commenced. Mr. Frank Hurd, Demo-,
critic member of Congress lied the To
ledo district, Ohio, was in a:great hurry
to pi, bis,free trade scheme before ithe
House in the shape of a joint resolution.
It declares that legislation ..on the tariff
shoUld be governed by the folleiving prin
ciples : 1. That a tariff is a tax, on im
ported goods which is ultimately paid by
the - consumer. 2. -That a tariff fur pro
tection, so-called, does not in most cases
protect the interest it pretends to prptect.
3. That a protective tariff does not in-
Crease the wages of workingmen: 4. That
thaprotective tariff builds rip One citizen
at the expense of another. 5. That a pro
tective tariff destroys the primal law of
trade which exchanges by supply
and demand. 6. • That a protective tariff
has driven American commerce from the
Vinthigh seas. 7. Tkat a protective tariff in
creases the probability of the crime of
smuggling. ,
The President's message was then re
ceived and read, wilen Mr. -Bicknell at
tempted t., call up the Serrate joint reso
lution proposing a joint rule far counting
the l electoral vote.. This is Senator Mor
gan's resolution of last session, \which
was purposely left over until the present
session. It gives to the House or to the
t3eriate, by the vote . or a majority, the
right to reject any vote from any State
on any objection no matter how frivolous
--„,,
an/ unjust, and no :natter. whether it had
previously been adjudicated by the State
tribunals. This mons 'ions ,proposition
was at once attacked an opposed by , tha
Republican members,-ho successfully
r
prevented its adoption. • - . .!.. •
A joint Republican =cis was, held
Wednesday night to consider the manner
in which the resolution ,shoiald be oppos
ed. The dbseassion was spirited, and it
was wholly to the effect - that the petxling
joint rule was unconstitutional, 'and that
it applied a usurpation of power on the
part of the two Houses of Congress. It
was determiniti that the-attention nf the
country should be called to it, and that
the,' lesson of ; this attempt to present
wrong call it' right should be "thor
oughly known. It was stated , by several
in very Strong language, that if the Dem
'peratio party: persistcd, iu pressing the ,
"reposed joint rule dilly would , have to
'assume the responsibility of nbstructing
proper and necessary legislation br. itudst
ing upon ths tassage of a dangerous par
tisan scheme. It was. Stated by one of
'ther4stairers that the issue Was not one ;
thatneed be pressed now, in the facef'

means tojet, the 147 votes necessary to
pass the *organ bill ; that-they had , not
