It is thought by others that the supposed earthquake was canned by the.action of the frost in the Hudson river and other streams. • THE ,chances are that the position of the ViCripPreildent during the Forty seventh congiesi will - become more im portant as a c2ntroller of - legislation than ever it has been. Vice-President Awinua will find responsibilities resting upon him that will test both his statesmanship, his pati , iOtism, - and therefore in a large de gree, his devotion to the Republican party.

HISTORY Or A' TIDAL WAVE In a few weeks the present Con gress will expire, by limitation, and its going will mark the total reces sion of the : _ "tidal wave " of 1874. The history - Of that tidal wave is in teresting, and may, prove instructive to politicians of any age. It has been customary with some to attrib ute that tidal wave to the policy of ' I Gen— Gatorr's administration: In fact that policy: had no more Ito do with it than BEACONSFIELD'S admin istration had in determining the re sult of the election in this country last November.l The tidal wave of 1814, which cha 'ged the complexion of the House aria led to the reversal of the majority in the Senate, follow ed as a logical result of panic 'and financial disaster. No person with any considerable knowledge of the laws of trale, regards the panic of 1'873, and the depression that fol- lowed, as due to th - policy of .any administration. Dr if any should at tribute it to' that they would be call ed upon to explain , how it came about that that policy has remained constant twit 1819 to the present moment, aid at present perMits the; country to enjoy a deirte of ''.riros--, perit never before experienced. W h depression : came discontent, which is strictly in conformity with the law, and the crowding to. the front of every financial th , Joristin the country. Every man had a griev ance and was aniious to redress it by striking at the most proininent head that presented itself. 'The Re publican patty had been in power for thirteen years. It was held respon sible for the disaster. Every ruling party must expect to be held respon sible for disasters, the causes of which are obscure to the mass of men. Hence, At the next election all the' discontented, led by demagogues as ever, joined with the opposition to obtain a redress of grievances. The result was seen in the election of a Democratic House as a first effeet: What followed is history. • , We may give the people credit for trying to Obtain redress 'by putting 11 .the Derac4;ratit in power in the House: But did they obtain redress? They did not. The policy of the government, _remains unchanged. Every - law under which the Treasury ( does its' work to-day was enacted by . a Republican Congress. All the funding measures were perfected by a Republican Congress. Resumpt,ion was effected under a law passed by a Republican Congress. Every law out oft which the financial policy of tbe administration issues to-day was en , acted 't by Republicans. What, then,,l did the country pin by the tidal , wave 44,1874 ? No man can point to a single particle of gain.. It entail ed a dead loss in time, in legislation, in prestige, and in progress. In short; the history of Congress since 1875 is a history of incapacity, and time wasted in trying to build'up the Democratic party at the expense of the country at large. The evil effects of such blind and prussionatestriking for redress of grievances will not dis, appear in, twenty years. - For the panic of' '1'879 was the logical out- ' comp of pdprilir astraveganeal The =il people thereselies invited` ft, pot u they hivitedtihat.of an 4 "gab in 1847. -1 The* w ascv e r64ai d b 9i a n d #ier'OnOdet4. ll o** l l:F i t eric Y,*l sPecilligve 4.l 4 :.? 0 : - # 7 9* did <tigt eetdernent day =IV° than, after - recovering from the aboek, - thonaanda came forward and de. manded a continuance of the causes which produced the effects complain ed of. It was precisely as If men unhouried by conflagration should de. :nand that everybody should be turn ed into the streets without a roof to shelter them. ' With tie present. Congress the. tidal wave itself disappears, but the wreck and rain remnin to warn men not:to avoid the evils of the present by rushing into the pit of. evils of which they know nothing. To do evil that good may come_ is tie end of Moral sanity. To suppose that change means betterment, is 'to sup pose what cannot be demonstrated beforehand. Mew are to remember that all progre'ss is by averages and never hi any case ay extremes. It is by the average outcome of a policy that is to be estimated. PENSIONS AND AGENTS.:" The-Arrears of Pensions law - has become , Snaky comprehensible to even the average member of - Con-. gress. It wae• an unwise measure, and was pushed through on the . bun combe prinCiple, to aid in re-electing certain small fry Congressmen who could not hope to succeed on - the score of merit and fitness. There was 'ust enough merit in the bill to warrant itspresentation in t 146 House, but it was predicted then that the measure would breed greater injus• ticc by far than it would cure. It was natural, of course, that persons entitled to recover arrears under the law should favor the law! But there is certainly a limit to tilt( power of a nation to mortgage its income. The Arrears of Pensions bill detually exe , elites a mortgage upon every dollar of the probable surphis income of the treasury for years toicome. We must at some time come to a end of the extraordinary expend tures growing out of the war. The regular .pension list cannot and- : , ought not " to be reduced except in the way the law itself indicates. As pensioners recover health, and as they die, the list is reduced.. But it must be many years before the appro priation for pensions can range much below $25,000,000 annually. Were it Possible to - Modify the present Ar ,rease law so as to bring it within a reasonable outlay of income yet un earned it would be well to do that. But we see no way- in which it can bodone. W e t have already entered upon the payment of arrears, and thousands of applications are on file. It will not do to discriminate between persons equally entitled to the bene fits of thelaw. But one thing can be done, not for the relief of the Treasury, indeed, but for the relief of pensioners them selves— There are a horde of agents in Washington who live off the fees exacted of those who employ them to get arrears of pensions. To pension ers it may be proper to say that no _agent can do any more for them than they can do for' themselves. _lt - is not necessary to employ an agent to secure arrears of pensions. if one is entitled to arrears, all he has to do is to send on his application to the Commissioner of Pensions • and ask for the blanks - and instructions. Such applications will be - responded -to. And:when the proper blanks have been filled out, and proved as other pension papers are proved, thenppli cant can mail the papers to the Com missioner, who will have them 'filed and examined in their course, and when found correct thoapplicant will receive a draft for whatever may be ,due him. Pensioners may find it necessary to consult with somebody in their neighborhoods no doubt Any lawyer can manager the matter svhere the applicant is in doubt as to. That, he ought to do. But it is Ring ing away money to employ Washing ton, or professional' ants, at a dis tance, to do what really every intelli gent man can de fore himself, and what any local lawyer can do when there is a doubt.. • - Tae annual meeting of the Pennsylva ma Agricultural Society was held at the rooms of the society at Harrisburg, on Wednesday last.

A Fekurivo begins to prevail in giivern ment circles that an expedition should be sent into the Arctic seas to look after the Jeannette and ° her crew. The coming summer will be the third since that gal lant vessel sailed through Behring's Strait in z the - attempt to reach the open polar ilea, which is now the objective point of Arctic navigation. The Jeannette, it is true, went prepared for such a lengthy stay in the regions of the pole, but the fact that no information of any kind has reached us concerning her; creates some uneasiness, and, scientific men believe that au expedition sho w be fi tted out to hu n t , up the exploring teamer and her crew and render assist in case they stand in iieeil of it.

For the first time since the balloting commenced for Senator, the: Oliver" and Grow men fraternized on Friday. hey were brought together by the - Malignant attack of Senator- Gordon -upon the peti tion in favor of - Jiiiin Welsh. As soon as the result of the vote was anno - unced Mr. Gordon • rose' to a question of privilege, but while addressing . the Chair Senator Davies got is a motion to adjourn. 'Mr.. Gordon asked as a matter of courtesy that the motion be withilmwn; but Mr. Davies declined to do so, and thereupon the Son 'ger from Philadelphia called the yeas and nays, which` resulted in the defeat of the motion by a vote of 127 to CO. The desire for fair play- on the part of the convention enabled Mr. Gordon to carry his point thus far, and his temporary suc cess tempted him to the extreme which brought him a speedy set-back.. He re newed his question of privilege, and un der cover of the courtesy thus extended, launched 10,0 a vehement ii l peecli, full of fierce invective, against the petition of the friends of Mr. Welsh, which he de- scribed :w i no petition 'at all, but a person- - al join; more s uited to the paid columns of a newspaper than to the convention. Ile4then read a number of grandiloquent - re ons why it should be expunged from the Trecord, and concluded by offering a resolution- to thcpunge it from the record. Mr. IMilKee r who had presented the reso lution, explained that there was no offense intended to any person or party by 'the paper. Lieutenant Governor Stone decid ed that the matter: was not a question of priiilege, and then Mr. Gordon °frisked his resolution and advocated it at length, re iterating his ungracious attack upon-the petition. Senator Davies, of Bradford, replied to Mr. Gordon in scathing terms, and said he had listened in vain for a rea son as .to why the simple paper, which called forth so much malice should be ex punged from the record, while the Sinatoi from Philadelphia had given nothing bot glittering generalities. Senator Norris also defended the petition, and said the signers were men incapoldei of attaching their names to an offensive paper.
