Govaaxim annual pmclamation shows a reduction of the State debt din ing the past Moil year of $600,0001n the redeeming of five, and six per cent. bonds. tast year the redaction was $1,000,000, but this was owing to the refunding of a part of the debt at a less percentage. THE Senate confirmed the nomination of . Judge *ti.t.tem B. WOOD to the seat on the bench of the United Stites Su preme Court made vacant by the retire ment of Justioe STRONG. 'There was some opposition, principally because an Ohio man had been chosen for the promotion. • ONE swallow doesn't make a spring, arid the Lancaster New Era says : "One little caucus of Allegheny politiciaba isn't likely to make lifr.,Ouvnit United States Senator, when threolourtbs of the Repub. licans• of the State want Hon.

WEAVER, who, watihe Greenback candidate for President, and Mr. §EARES, of Illinois,, called'each other liars and vil lains in the House, one day last week, and then peeling off their coats, endeavor ed to have a rough and tumble tight. They were restrained. by their neighbors, and the next day both meekly apologized; and the, repo ) r of the tranitiction. was stricken from th e journal. T h e House failed to viiiiiieste itself, by not promptly . expelling the belligerents. Solis of - the PhiLldelphia papers are presenting the name of BENJAMIN Hen sus BREWSTER as a candidate for the United States Senatorship, and calling at- tention to the fact that a citizen of Phila delphis t has not been selected for the place for many years. Desirocie as we are to see the State represented by Mr. GROW, we cordially agree with those who `claim for Mr. Beswersa all those qualities whi - ch would, grace the Senate and re dound to the honor of ithe State. -4 KEt.t.r is experiencing the truth of th 4 saying that]politiciaus are ungrate ful.

In fact, it is a bad year for bosses generally, and the signs for the future are not encouraging for the self-constituted and arrogant leaders. - A HIDEOUS tragedy at Bethlehem, on ,Monday; was followed by the summary 'and lawless execution of the man guilty of the horrible murder. This is said to be the first case of lynching that ever oc curred in Pennsylvania, and we hope it will be the last. There seems to be a just retribution in the swift vengeance which 'overtakes such a savage murderer as SNYDER, but those who are the avengers of the 'crime, are 'equally guilty before 'the' law. Probably the excited state of public feeling in that neighborhood will gave them from the penXlties of the out . raged law, but such oocurreaces are nevertheless to be greatly deprecated. Ex-Arrounas General Assurcks, who died at his home; in Georgia on Tuesday night, was_ one of .the most upright of Southern Republicans, as well as one of the most reputable Of those of Northern birth. Although a native of New Hamp shire, ho had been for•upward of thirty= tire years a citizen of his adopted State, suecessfully practicing his profession and maintaining an enviable social position and a high character as a man. There is. notiliere, any stain upon either his public or his private record. As a supporter of the two ,astminisOations of General Gnswr it is without dispute that he Was as honest as be was able, and that con scientious conviction rather than greed of personal advancement was the controlling motive of his political career.. MITER three result less weeks C.Oiagruss adjourned fur the holidays. Nothing whatever has been amomplished, unless the empty debate and idle declamation, the filibustering and the personal alterca tions that have been indulged in may be regarded as a neeeesery . preparation. to getting down to actual work. In that point of view Congress has done limo- thing which, if it had to be done, might as well be done first as last. When the two Houses reassemble after their Christ mu junketing it is to be hoped they will rooeed to the transaction of the public,' business. But two mouths *ill remain of their closing session, and it is only by exercising.s good deal of industry that indispensable measures like the Funaltig bill can be passed, to say nothing of legis• . latien upon other subjects which demand attention, but will probably not receive it till next winter. WILTED STATES SIESA1011.• The situation in regard to candi dates for ; .United States Fenatof was somewhat changed. by the action of the ReiMblican theinbers of the Leg islature from= Allegheny county, who met in caucus on Tuesday last for the purpose of.determitiing whom to support for Senator. .After a great deal of. figuring, and Coaxing all the members,' excepting Messrs. FLYNN and KNOWLTON, who . rime instructed to Vote for Mr. °Row, were persuaded to go into the caucus with the under standing that those present were to be bound by its action. On the first ballot dine voted for Mr. OLIVER and four rot Mr. BAYNE. :Subsequently Mr. Ouvitt's nomination as the choice of the Allegheny • delegation was made . unanimous. Mr. 0. ap peared before the caucus and made some remarks, declaring his determi nation to make a vigoroa campaign and'secure the election if possible. Of course there cannot be any rea sonable objection made to Allegheny county presenting the name of a can• didate, nor that candidate entering into the contest and succeeding by legitimate means. W 7 e--lielieve Mr. Ouvra has the respect of the people where he resides, is /looked upon as an honest and capable business man, and .is rich. But what has brnught him prominently forward, or why he should be chosen to represent& this 'state in the IT,nitecl States Senate, is one of the things that- can only be onseeend by Ott , select few who are in the secret of his sudden appear ance upon the stage. • Those who are so anxiously look ing around in search of some availa ble,an,l unknown candidate , to "beat Genw." will be wise to learn a lesson from recent occurrences in the neigh-. boring State of Ohio. There' the politicians haw yielded to the popu lar wish, and Goe. Fosrze has mag nanimously withdrawn from..the - con- \ test in order that Secretary SuzaNtAX may be harmoniqu'sly chosen United States Senator, thereby avoiding, contention and ill-feeling. - It would be a graelotut act, acknowledgingand yielding to the popular voice in this . State, if all the different elements would defer to. public sentiment, and instead of end l eavorinff to thwart it would" give it recognition and sup. port, by the unanimous expression 4 of the battens in 'faior of Mr. GROvi !: Of all - the numerous candidates. Gitoiv aldne comes up to the_ st andard•and., to the . expects; tion of the country. What Republi can but, what remembers with pride his career in Congress Y As the leaderi of the Republican phalanx during exciting discussions, battling with the ablest•and moat experienced of the: slavery propogandists, he. bore himself with credit; and as .Speaker discharged its ; espOnsible duties so :tts to gain thdrespect . arid esteem of . all, making for_ : himself a national reprit4tion. Se - apprepr ate is his selection for the Senitte,-that Outside of Pennsylvanii it meets With general' aPPlatiefT le— and his election will Jae favorattly received by the . Republi cans of the Nation • It is not creditable' that there should be - a disposition, much less, an attempt,' to organize •a scheme tOlde prive the people of their choice, when it' has been so.clearly and unmistaka, bly expressed as it has been in the case of Mr. GROW . for United States Senator. WC should suppOsd ; that . common prudence would. dictate that occasionally the people • should be all Owed to have'their way: We have already Said; that Mr. Gam cannot be defeated. by any legitimate Re— publican methods. Pennsylvania is . nnt i a' Nevada, where the size of the bar'l Settles the question. Nor are our people so meek and patient and long-suffering that they will forever. Nubtnit to have theirvoica disregard ed and their wishes treated with eon tumely.,llhe Republican. members of the Legislature have,a simple duty to perform—to respect the . instruc-, tlons and carry out, the will of their constituents. By'so doing they will meet with approbation at home— serve their country and their party faithfully-.—and electing •Mr.- GROW to the Senate, honor the State. DISTRESSFUL IR ELARIL They are not exactly hanging, men 'it Ireland for the wearing of the green ;... 4:out they are gathering tur nips with bayonets, and harvesting oats with broadswords. That unhap py country is now' in a , state of ex citement which has net been so gen eral nor deep since the years when. O'CONNELL aroused the green isle with his. agitation, and by his adroit ness and' persistence forced the En glish goiernment to submit to the Emancipation measures. Adopting the plan pursued by the great agita tor the leaders of the present move ment have carefully advised abstenta tiOn from illegal' or violent measures, so!that while there are twenty thous, an troops in . frelati, yet the arm of-ihe law is paralyzed, and they are useless because there is no open in surrection. As , natutally might be expected from such an excitable and belligerent people there is a deplora ble' prevalence of erime,, including assassination, and an abunditnte of threatening letters, but in tlie wain the favorite expedient seems to be "Boycotting "—a sort of perseeu ,tion whiCh can be _adopted and pr imed within the limits of the . Ir. The marked individual, under this jamb:Ant plan, • Ibida4lEnsegatiabln to hire a servant, :or purebase. - -tha necessaries of Hi.. He is sintplfand lnt 'alone:,-oso public feeling - abitipkeepertiand others- wh6 would gladly deal with him, are restrained 'through fear, and he is compelled through Sheer neees sity to quit the apighborbood. The failure , of the government to take any practical seps for the pro tection of the: landloids against the combination which has wrought such sad haioc with interestsand profits in Ireland, is loudly-, denounced by the suferers, but is equivalent Loa con.' tession that the popular demands arie:. reasonable, and must in the end be meqsumbly conceded.. The situation of irelabd is somewhat analagous'to the condition of this country, during years the preybatts to the Revolution, when so many petitions -were seitto ihe -mother nation for u redress of grievances. Then, as now, there were grievous wrongs which cried aloud for notice and' redress. The - :people, driven'to desperation, but anxious, not to commit illegal or treasonable acts, banded together for miltut4 pro': teclion , ; courts of Justice weiti or gartized; oppressivelaws , were quietly unobserved ; and only wail coercion was attempted, was resistance inter posed. England unquestionably could, by the exercise ofther mighty power, stamp out ever; symptorn of insubordination and agitation in Ire ' land, but she will find it - - much more in accordance,with the spirit ( k t the times, to yield to the reasonable de rna,nds of the masses than to maims cre them, - The nature of the' essential propo sition of the - land reformers hi, if calmly considered, perfectly, reasona ble, and perfectly practicabb;., it is not a'proposition , for confiscating the. property of one elass„ and making a gift of it to another. It is true that in that way precisely the Pecipli of Ireland were deprivtd, of the soil of "their own country. It was confis- Cated. It was. confiscated because 'they refused to accept a state-made religion in lieu of the one they had already. It. would seem ii monstrous _offense against civilization in oirr day to rob _a man and his heirs for ever of all their property,, and all - right to acquire any, merely . because he preferred a religion which he al ready 110 •to the one offered= by tbe power which could rob, him of his property if' he refused. 'Mit in that way the owners of the soirof Ireland lost it, and most of the present own ers obtained it.. But'd - wrong in one age does not make the same wrong right in another. Confiscation pricier the monarchs of the past does not amount to a right to confiscate again, even to restore to heirs of those- rob bed in the, 'first plaee. But, it is not confiscation Which the Land league proposes. It proposes that the land of such landlords as are*illing to sell, shall_ be bought by the government-at a fair valuation, properly determined. It does not propose to compel any landlord to sell, against his will; and the!e are some landlords in Ireland whose tenants.are perfectly content ed, because they have been justly dealt with. The Land league pro poses that the goveinment shall buy of those willing to sell ; and then , shall dispose of the land to tenants who will occupy, and tilLt. But it is not' to be disposed of tszk . hese ten ants as a gift. They; are only to have the first. right t purchase it. It is to be sold to actual occupiers, not to middlemen, or speculators, with such ( -arrangements as will :se cure the payment in time. Of course, such a procedure is not in, accord ance with our ideal of governmental dutieS, but the Enalish government hai many.precedents for such a course: With all the -British disposition t 4 enforce the:law,* there is , an evident hesitation on the part orthe "binet to proceed to extreme and harsh measures, and the time seems to have arrived when it will be found necessary to do something - to allevi ate the sufferings of distressed Ire land. PHILADELPHIA LETTER. PILILADELPIIIA. December 29, 1880 There is in this city, amongst the bet ter classes, a treling that some sort of re form is required _in the administration of municipal affairs. This grows out .of the bad management of those who are at the. heads of the different departments, whiCli shows itself in the scarcity 'of the water i• supply, the filthy condition of the streets, and the peculation in all the different de partments. Much of the eatery against dive the city Officials is undeserved, b there is enough cause of complaint, to col or to the accuaatious of the chronic grum blers, and to excite those unhappy mor tals who`always imagine that everything is going wrong, 'becatise they are not at the heln:i and have the direction of affrirs. Out of this desire to elevate' the chaise; ter of the public service, Mal remedy the evils under which the' tax-PaYers groan, comes the formation of the Committee of One -Hundred, compose& of respectable and imPricticable citizens, which at -a? late meeting placed in nomination caudi *dates for three ciffices to be - filled at the February election.
