In a request to President Gamma) to
give Jose B. Bowiwt; of that State, a

A sm. has been introdnoed in the Leg
islature to repeal the present Jury Com
missioner law, and place the selection of
Jrirors in the hands of County Commis-
sioners.
THE Senate Pinata) Committee has re
ported in favor of a 5-20 loan at 3,} per
cent. interest, this .being an advance of
one-half per cent. over the rate which - the
House regarded as sufficient.
REPRESENTATIVE liVaLsa," of &Amyl

'pel coal operators to have ambulances at
the mines for,the conveyance of sick or
injured persons to their homes:
THERE seems to be but little doubt but
A that tramps are carrying the smallpox
disease about with them. Undoubtedly
they have carried the • disease to Allen
town, to Bethlehem and other poinui
where it is-now causing consternation.

Twenty-third Ohio regiment marched to
the big wars. W. 11. ROSECRANS was Col

SOME of out Greenbackers will be inter
ested in knowing that, a State convention
of their party met in Reading on Wed
nesday of last week, and I assed resolu
tions against refunding the national-debt
:and demanding its immediate payment by
an enormous issue of greenbacks.
TnE Governor bas - re-appointed C. L.

I THE Census Bureau, although most of
ita outside work is completed, is never
theless about the liveliest department in
Washington. -There are still more than
twelve hundred clerks employed in office
work as copyists,- computerS, tallyists,
messengers and; the like. Much has
already. been done, but the work is far
from complete.
TIME: are not 'good - days for the specu
lators wAiii are- planning to prey upon the
public throng:: the agency of a telegraphic
monopoly. - -, The current of feeling and
opinion is running so strongly against
thini that they are likely to be over
whelmed. Several bids Tor their confusicin
have already been submitted to the con
sideratiOn of Congress.
REi:onTs from along the Hudson, I.,be
tween Poughkeepsie and Newburg, seem
to show that a shock of at earthquake
was distinctly felt in parts of • Ulster and
Orange counties, on Thursday morning
last at half•past four. 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.
Tns New York Board of Health has
adOpteff an ordinance which inflicts a pen
-
alty of 12.50 and a poskble six months
imprisonment upon any and l all persona
issuing invitations to the funerals of per
sons who have died of contagiOus diseases.
This is a good-move. -Such diseases are
often spread' in a community; and much
suffering caused by thoughtlessness in
this partieular.
Orr of . 82,532 firms doing business in

Tns Forty-Seventh; ConiresaCwill be
memorable for its cases of cuptested
seats, more of which are announced than
in any previous Congress for yelp. Only
one Feat, that of MONF.V, Wili4ko un
contested from the State' of Mississippi.
loUr seats from Alabama will be contest
ed —three from Louisiana—three from
South Carolina—two from Virginia, and
two, if not three, from North Carolina.
Orrat *35,000,000 were brought to• the
United States last year by - foreign immi
grants. This ought to be sufficient to
compensate for what is lost, by the influx
of pauper iinmigrants, and: probably it
does, but it unfortunately happens that
the community which supports the pau
pers profits nothing by the thrift and
prudence of the provident. The latter
go West, upon their arrival at Castle Gar
den, while the former stay close to port.
Tun Indian-school at Carlisle Barracks,
this State, has 110 boys and 44 girls.
When it was started more than 100 of
them had never been inside of s school
of-hotute, and
. when brought there won)
covered with vermin. After three and a
half months the boys cuuld recite fairly
in geography and arthmetic. They learri
the use of, tools as readily as white child
ren and some have already become good
wagon-makers, blacksmiths, carpenters
and shoemakers.

that Senator CAMIROX had been asked by
the Prcsident elect to name a Pennsylvar

submitted three names, either of whip,

and then all doubt respecting who will be

SENATOR WALLACE has introdncid a
'constitutional_ amendment proposing
'change in the mode of electing a Presi
dent, . by
,direct vote of the people:. It
proposes 'io• divide each State into as
many districts as it has Senators' and

district to have one vote for . Presidenl:.

Tus, lottery pep are up to all sorts of
devices to entrap the unwary and gullible
public. Lately they have been publish
ing in such paperi us admit their adver
tisements an account of a man who twice
drew very largo prizes in the Louisiana
State Lottery. We do not know whether
such is really the fact. It is about as un
likely as that the lottery is managed hon
estly. In all probability 'it is the merest
canard, putout for the ptiipose of en
,traping the cupidity of thelireak and.pn-

THE new Democratic 'iloctrint , now
preached in the South is that the North
rebelled against the State rights doctrine,
as this was sought to be establishedln the I
effort to maintain the true idea of a Union
in the Confederacy. DEN 4tr.t. now says
that if it had not been for Gin "the
one, man, the rebellion of Ift6l would not ,
have been a failure." 'ibis is the idea
with which , the Southern Democracy went
into the e ff ort to establish the Confedera
cy, and on this single prinCiple the Dem
ocratic party of the South will be conduct
ed and its Senators and,Representatives
in Congress will shape their course.
SEVERAL of the safes whicliwere in the
fire at the recent railroad disaster at Tio
ga Centre, N. V., have been sent to the
Treasury at _ Washington. Etcperts are
now identifying the contents. In the
burnt inaslWer found jewelry, including
diamonds and watches, gold and sliver
coin, legal tender notes and - national bank'
notes, governMent coupons andeiailroad
bonilla. The coin, 'which was melted in
all manner of shapes, will go to the mint
as bullion. The jewelry, except the dia.
afonds, is worthless. The burned, legal
tender notes are being skillfully separated.
Already the express company is sure of
getting back $7,000 fOr these notes. Very
likely every note, coupon and bond that
was burned, will be ideptdied.
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

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.. • -

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. ThA , the administration
desires that the search for the missing
vess9l should-be made, is evidekced by
tbeilact that on Friday last the president
transmitted to-Congress a letter from the
Secretary of the Navy, wherein the Secre
tary recommend# .that a whalink vessel,

~..FIIONI the Annual Report of thopuper
intendent-of the Danville Insane Asylum,
just issued, we learn that of the 1;242 in:
"sane inmates of the asylum, three males
and seven females were crazed by relig
ions excitement, while but one man's res.'
son was dethroned by politicalexcitement.
Intemperance crazed sixty. of whom three
were females; disappointed affection was
the cause of one man's and three females'
lunacy, aid disappointment in business
brought one man to the asylum. Seven
males and three females became crazy
from fright, and one midst from fear.
Homesickness caused one female close
her reason. Domestic troubles dazed
fourteen males .and twenty-six females,
and business troubles thirty males and
thirteen females. - Starvation "had one
ale within, and poverty one male and
one female. , Ten males and eight females
were made crazy by bereavement, and
three females by SpiritnallsM. It., is a
retharkable fact. that but one printer has
been confined in the asylum, and
there were.no crazy editors. ~
•IT is well known that three-fourths of
all the casualties that occur from' the
Careless use or handling of fire arms take
place when these implements of danger
are in the Lands of minors.„The boy from'
-ten to fifteen yearsof age is credited #fith
more accidents of this kind than all the
other members of the community put to
gether. ' Is it note possible t l 4 or our law
makers to step in and, at least in part,
remedy this matter? What is there to
prevent the passage of a law forbidding
the sale or the giving of pistols to minors
under a penalty P The' pistol also plays
an important pad in many of the youth
ful homicides that are daily occurring.
Is it - not worth while to - make an effort to
put a stop to this by means of a legal en
actment? If the source of supply were
cut off, there can hardly be a' 'doubt the
evil might be lessened. Arall events the
remedy seems worth a trial.

_ THE Ways and Means Committee Fri
'day cametoon agreement which, should
it acquire the force of law, will have the
effect-of repealing taxation to the amount
of about fifteen million doUiri a year.
They - voted inlayer of repealingrthe tax
es at present levied on bank Checks and
deposits, upon perfumery, patent medi
cines, matches and other: articles.. That.
the time has come, judiciously to lighten,
the burden of taxation which for so long
a time our citizens have cheerfully borne
is not to be disputed. But there doe's nrkt
appeir to be — :any particular reason
the buyers either of petiumery or of
ent medicines stunk' be relieved from
imposts which; they at, preient have to
pay. Perfuineiy is a luxury, and we do
not exactly tindersbuld 'bow the cheapen
ing of patent medicinei is to benefit the
general public.

noted, were Only feelers, as the men who
voted for him went back the next day to
()row and Oliver. =
The majority . of the Grow men regard'
the Scofield movement with indifference,
alleging that forty-seven of their number
cannot ba changed from their present po
keition. As soon as the vote was announc
ed on Thursday Representative Boland,
Democrat, or Schuylkill, offered a resole-1
don requiring three ballots to bo taken 1
daily_ until a United States Senator is
elected. This was Offered by &majority
of the .Democrats and (diver men, and 1
upon a call of the yeas and nays; was de-1
feated by a vote Of 130 to 94. • '
On the announcement of this vote Mr.
McKee, of Philadelphia, caused a little
flutter of excitement by asking leave to
present a petition signed hy 250 citizens I
of that. city. ' It, was, generally known I
that this was a r4comrtiendation of ex-min- I
inter to England, John Webb, s a prop- 1
er man to break the - dead-lock, and the
idea was received with considerable show
of opposition, bht the petition'was read,
without creating any particularly favor-`
able impression, . after which the nutter
was turned into ridicole t 4 John Welsh,
of Schuylkill', the champion of Henry
Cary Baird and reform„ who convulsed
the Convention by stating that ho sincere
ly thanked his two hundred and fifty
Philadelphia. friends for Urging his name
in connection with the...l:hated' States
Senatorship. Amid foarOf laughter he
then withdrew: his name. s: Senator Gor
don, Democrat, of Philadelphia, folloWed
up this'grim'bit'of humor Iwith i on attack
on the petition itself, which he described
as being out of order , andiffenaive, inas
much as it was addressed tome portion
of the Asseinbly—riamely, the Republi
cans—and also sefiforth. that the United
States Senator should be elected without
the aid of the Democratic votes. The
Convention then adjourned.
The sernteenth ballet was takeu on
Friday the 4th inst., with the following
result : Oliver, 68 1 ; Grow, 46 ; Wallace,
69 ; Phillips and MacVeagb, 3 each. and
&dram; ilewit, Snowden, Curtin, Agnew
and Baird, 1 each—total, 195; Paired
and abient, 53. Brown and Hayes, of
Erie,'whe voted for Scofield - the day be
fore, retained to Grow, and most of the
other changes in the vote were caused by
absenteeism.
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. Rep',
reiehtative Wood, of Cambrii, thought
the petition an insult to the convention.
By this time the party lines were drawn
and Mr. Gordon's resolution was defeated
byn vote of 116 yeas to 72 nays.
The c onvention then adjourned until
noon to-day; when the eighteenth ballot
was taken With l the following result :
ver, 26 ; Grai l ' 81 ; Wallace, 21;
Veagh, 1 ; Shires, 1 ;Agnew, 1 ; 4 Pbillips,
2 ; total, 83. One hundred and sixty-five
members were paired, and about think
