E 1 DEN C ' E of what Southern Democrats
expect of the Federal Government is al-
Ways abundant when an appropriation hill
is before Congres's upon
_which they can
engraft. an . amendment for money 'te be
spent in the South. It's the only thing
that interests a Southern Democratic
stafesinan, - this getting money out oi.the
National Treasury, except always the
.eiforl of the same men to - prevent the
colleetim of revenues for' the. Federal
Goverimmut in- the - South. When the
river and hiy her bill rtachcd the Senate,
last week, the first touch . it received was
in the shape of $1,100;000 amendments
tacked to it by Deniocratie Senators.
PnEnicrioNs having been frequently
Made that the colored people of the South
would by reason of Democratic brutality
towards them seek -a refuge in the very
lowest regions of the Southern States;and
_ _thence proceed to Mexico, it is now ascer
tained, by the experienep of all the years
since the emancipation proclamation, that
instead of tinning their faces Southward
-thesolored people either go North or to
the Northwest. Changing, the inspiration
that - Westward-the star of empire takes its
coursei . the eolbred - race moves with
Anglo-Saxon in that • direction where he
never was enslaved, avoiding intuitively
-- all contact kith the Spanish race by whom
he was first enslaved, and which • still
clings to the barbarous custom of barter

THE bill now befoie the Le.-islature
sensibly remarks the Harrisburg Tele
graph, providing for the• trial of juitices
of the peace and clergymen who perform
the marriage rites for minors is lacking in
one particular, as is the law punishing those
who sell liquor to minors. Girls who are
minors, or at least ninety-nine out of
every hundred, know it is not'lawful for
to be married without their parents'
consent.. Why, then, not make the law
cover a punishment for minom to violate
it ? In the case of marriage, as in that
of selling liquor, minors often impose on
clergymen and justices of the peace and
landlords by representing themselves MC
of age, and thereby get what it is illegal
to give them.. If the laws were passed to
punish the minors as well as justices of
the peace, ministers and landlords, mi stirs
Wiluld not be So anxious to violate it.

THE FINANCIAL FLURRY:
The excitement than prevaile'd in
busing. circles during the latter half
of last Week and which hasnot-en
tirely subsided, had its origin in :An
attempt by Congress to legislate in
delitk4ate contempt of the well known
laws of trade.. We .are aware that
an outcry is' raised - against
hugs," national hanks, 'and "bloated
capitalists," to-use the slang of per
sons who only guess at finance, and
guess very stupidly at : that, but, the
outcry is as silly as the persons Who
assist to swell its volume. The pub
lic is entitled to have the facts coa
- fleeted with the case.
A very important fact, end a fact
that is entitled to rank first in the
sales - , is that the national' banks
were as the right arm or supp i ort -to
the nation from their establiShment
to the close of the aar, and have ren
dered signal service in upholding
public credit flow the first to the
present moment. A tognate fact is,
ticat in render in= :,nch national ser
vice they have incurred the :hatred of
the politicians of ,tiv South an d o f
the leaders of the I);n:o4itic party
everywhere ',Ome.natiisnal letuks will

ties beariug lessi•r rate. it use.
The advoc.ttes of the Fmiding - bill
are . endea - toving to represent -the
banks as opposed to. a 3 per_cent,
bond, andthey Ea' y that - their resist
ance to the bill :...otne l s from their in
.
disposition to part ith any of their
4resent -prolit:4. That the 'business
.community entertains serious doubts
of the ability Of the nation - to float
3 per cent. bonds-at par must be ad
mitted,-becanse it is . a fact. - But it is
not a fact that the surrender of cit.- -
culation which comtnenced,:when the -
Funding bill passed the Senate was
due to the 3'.per cent. bond prevision'.
I:mkt the law as it stands the banks
are enabled to reduce or increase
their circulating notes at will, upon
the deposit of legal tender notes with.
the Treasurer of the United States.
The intention Of the law is that the
banks shall be lable to decrease their
liabilities whenfthe demand for money
is slack, thus defending:against a car-
rend, volume greater thin the legiti
mate 'business needs of the commu f
nity. .It was intended to render the
currency elastic, and .. at
. the .same
time to prevent the investment of 'a
surplus currency in wild-eat atter
prises, Experience 'has. proved the
wisdom of the law, and under its
operation business has taken on
stability greater than it ever had be.
fore in this country.
But the fifth section of the Fund
ing bill repeals this feature of
i .the
presentlaw, and compels the banks
to redeem their own eireulating notes
across the counter if' they wonld're
duce the Volume. . It is necessary to say
that the notes of a bank arc scatter- .
ed widely o'rer the country, and that
no bank could get possession of any
considerable part of its circulation in
years of effort. Hence the,proposed
law locks up the bonds which banks
have deposited to secure their , notes,
and deprives their owners of the
command of their capital. Is it
necessary to say that no blMipefie ID01!
Amnia Axiosent to do business on a
capital which he could not command
at will ? Would any man of -ems
per Th t any other pafly control his
capital and surplus he` could pre
'vent it? The answer 'That
is 'not the wit* Men - -dointaiUess who
know - what , business means. The'
banks are surrendering their circuW
tion and recalling their bonds in strict
compliance with a well-known law of
finance. That law is that elrery bust ,
ness must be able to command its re
sources or prepare for bankruptcy.
The banks are reducing their Habilis
tics, as they are , bound to,do When
danger 'threatens from any (patter.
In defending themselves.they defend
every man who-has a dollarinvested
in legitimite business. They are
doing what the y can to keep the cur
rency dolhr at•par, and, that is in the
interest *of , every 'inat who works
with his haTis or with his head. I!
any man is So pickled in stupidity as
to imagine that the bOks can be de
stroyed without ; pulling dorn the
entire fabric of business he is not
worth the trouble of cipOstulation.
No great interest eaorbesingled out
for slaughter without. carrying de
struction into every department of
- enterprise. • A blow. 'aimed at any
manufacturing interest which relates
to the common Prosperity will be felt
everywhere. The man of capital -will
feel it, and the Man who works will
feel it.
.For, wlistever demagogues
may say, a I enterprise is inter-de
pendent, and what affects one branch
must• Affect exert other in degree as
it is tar-leaching and jinportant.
The responsibility for this disturb..
ance in the . business centres- rests
upon a reckless Democratic Congress,
which cannot' rule, 'and
the
'attempts
to ruin . Its lamed of the common .
weal is undyin:4 - , _and its rapacity is.

,HARRISBURG LETTER.
Speetal Correspondence of Tim ItEr9nTrat
• . Nanntsnun'o, Feb. 26, 1881.—The
and last week pf. the,Senatorial 'fight . ..
com
menced on .Monday th - e 21st inst., when
the Abirty-third ballot was taken in a very
slimly-attended jOint convention, with the
following result Beaver 27,. Wallace 19,
Bayne 21, Schofield 2.4 McGlath, Band
and Shims 1 each; total, 72, No nnortim.
The absentees had not returned, and very
little interest Was manifested in the' pro
ceedings. On • Tuesday the 22d inst., there
was a much larger attendance at the coin
vention, when the thirty-fourth -ballet-was
taken and resulted as folrowti BeaVer 57,
Bayne'49, ‘Vallace 69, Iteyheni 4, Henry
7, Kirkpatrick and liewit 2 each, Scho
field 3, I.ltewster, Curtin, Shims, Dick,
Graham and' Band 1 each ; total, 199.
During the afternoon of Tuesday there
was a good deal of talk to the effect that
.comprotnisa was about being made, and•
a Senator would certainly be -elected this
week. The same story had been beard so
often that * people were not disposed to
give this latest news much credence; still
every one hoped for the best, and the re
sult of the meeting of the 'peace commis
krfwn to - have been called for
that evening, was awaited with anxiety.
The committee met at $ o'clock. Every
member seemed seemed id possess a secret, and
the general impression prevailed that the
dead-lock was ahput to be - broken. Bel,-
-
resentatives of. tlie Priss, against whom
the doors were closed at previous sessions,
were admitted and, cordially welcomed..
After a'btief season of Whispering, Sena
tor Cooper asked that the friends of Gen'.
Beaver withdraw'for a short consultation,
'and the twelve retired to' an adjoining
room, wherethe situation was vigorously
discussed. It was understood hi advance
that-Mitchellirould be the qt tconie of the
conference, although the friends of other
candidates among the Beavermeh fought
resolutely for their favorites. Three bah
lots Were taken by the Beaver.men,re
suiting iu choice of John L Mitchell, after
which they returned to the room in which
the general niectifig was held. As soon
as die Beaver people withdrew Senator
Stewart soggestegt to the supporters of.
Bayne - that they also have a consultation
among themselves, and they retired to a
room, on the opposite side of the corridor,
leaving the reporters: in possession'.of the
main committee . room. In the caucus of
the Independents Senator Lawrence made .
a speech' in favor of -Shiras and suggested
that they give him' their solid support on
the first three ballots. Wolfe And „Niles
advocated Mitchell, ;Leo spoke for Scho
field,- and McKee for • Henry. It was
agreed that if the Beaver men : showed a
disposition to support any of the parties
named the Independents would fall-into
line, and .withAhis Understanding they
• returned to the conference.
On reassembling, a vote was taken in
the full, conference, but them was no ex
citement, no exchange of opinions, and
when the President directed the calling of
the roll the silence Was almost painful un
til the first vote, upon which so much de.
pended, was cast. The firstaameen the
list was that of Representative Billitigely,
of Washington county, who responded in
ringing tones with the words, "John I.
Mitthell." Immediately every face was
aglow with a~ pleasant., smile, and when
the voice of Senator Dailes, of Bradford,
also - rang out "John I. Mitchell" in re
sponse to his name, everybody, felt that
the stubborn dead-lock was broken .at
last. The twenty-fourivotes Of the com
mittee were cast for ;Mitchell, and when
Wolfe, the last on the list, voted the
members sprang to their feet and the
meeting broke into a he,rty cheer. Then
-ensued a scene of wild etithushism. Mem
bers clasped hands anti - embraced each
other in a delitium of 'delight. Wolfe and
Men, Davies and Coojier, Stewart. and
Keefer and the rest fraternized; and it
Would be difficult to imagine a more stir
ring scene: Representative t Ides,, of
Tioga, addressed the members of the con
ference., Ile congratulated theta on sueh
a happy outcome of the contest, kid said
that be and Joint I. Mitchell had been
boys together. Cheers were then given
for Beam, Bayne and Mitchell, lase
which it wasllturriedly decided to hold a
general; caucus - et SOOScan Senators

dial character. It was the first time ddring
the contest bat the Itegulars and lode
peudents came together in party mucus
ter &eget their factional quarrels arid , be
known henceforth only as Ilepublicsns.
In the - absence of Senator WSW, Sena
tor Herr, of -Dauphin, was chosen chair
man, upon Mr. Coope'r's motion, and
bristly stated the , object of ,the 'meeting,
Senriter.Greer, 'as chairman - of , the com
promise conference, reported ' that after
having done their best for the interests of
the party, theinemberi of the committee
had unanimously agreed in iecoinmending
the nomination of Hon. John I. Mitchell,
of Tioga, for the United States Senate.
Ile, therefore, moved that Mr. Mitchell
be the Tarty nominee, recognizing in him
a stalwart RepuLlican, a legislator of ex-
perience, a lawyer of ability and a man of
the people, whose election would meet
with popular approval. . Mr. Orper's re
marks were applauded, after which Skutt
tor Stewart, on the part of the Mends of
Colonel Bayne, said. that they had also
united in making the nomination of John
I. Mitchell in the bciPe that it would be
approved. This announcement was
greeted witt• great enthusiasm, in the
midst of which the nomination was made,
in the Tull caucus by acclamation, when
the convention adjourned with cheers.
When the . joint convention met in the
:ill of the House at noon .the building
was packed with people. The kilies'
gallery was thronged with the fair sex,
and the corridors were crowded with an
etigermultitude' anxious to
,witness the
election of a United States Senator, Pre
cisely at 12 o'clock Representatives Pro
vins and itiee, in accordance with their
daily maxim for the past five- weeks, \in-:
formed the Senate that the House was
ready to go into joint convention for the
purpose of balloting for United States
Senatbr. Then the procession.was formed,
headed by the Sergeant-at arms beiring
aloft his silver-tipped mace of ebony, and
'i, Senators crossed the corridor to the
Rouse of Representatives,
,where the
members rose 'to receive them. Speiker
llewit surrendered the gavel to Lieuten
ant Governor Stone,l and the convention
settled down for the thirty-fifth and last
ballot.. Senator Cooper, with nif
sion of thanks for the vote General Beaver
had received, withdrew his name, and
Senator Newmyer withdrew the name of
Colonel'Bayne. Balloting was then' be
gun, the Republican column, with two
exceptions, coming up solid for John
Mitchell, and the 'Democrats voting for
William A. Wallace. • The - result was as
follows :- Total vote cast, 244 ; necessary
tois choice . ; 123 ; John I. Mitchell, Rep.,
14; William A. Wallace, Dem., 'O2; Ben
jamin Ilirris Brewster, Rep., 1 ; Wayne'
MacVeagh,,Rep., 1. Lieutenant Gover
nor Stone declared John I. Mitchell elect
ed United States Senator for six years
(rein the fourth of March 'next, after
which a volleyof applause broke all over
the hall, eitending into the galleries and
through the surging crowd in the corri
dors. 'The Pits:dent then directed the
making out of four, certificates of the elec
tion, as requiied by law. These were
signed by Lietitenant Governor Stone and
by Senator Thomas, teller on the part of
the Senate, and Representative lineass,
teller on the part of thd Rouse, afte:r
which the joint convention, having finished
its Libors, adjourned. without day.
The two exceptions, above noted, were
Rudditnan and Law, of Philadelphia ; the
former of whom voted for Brewster,. the
latter for MacVeagh.
In the Senate on Tuesday the 22d inst.,
bills were passed finally requiring school
directors to attend county institutes and
appropriating money for the erection of a
memorial column on the battlefield of
Cowpens. , " , .
Inthe Senate qn Wednesday the :lid
inst.,_ ,
Mr. Davies iutrodueed a bill provid
ing that in civil action for libel thede
fendants may enter a general plea of jus-'
'ideation, and if the alleged libel be mat
ter, proper for plastic investigation or
information, it shall be a question for the.
jury to decide, under the instruction of
the Court, 'Whether the publication coin
plained of is substantially sustained' by
the testimony, and if so sustained'there
shall be nit recovery of damages.
The Lieutenant Goveimori then laid be
fore the Senate the certiiicateOf Eckloy
B. Coxc as Senator from the Twenty-first
Senatorial district.' The returns were I
read and Mr. Wolverton offered a resolu
tion that a committee of three be appoint..
ed to wait on' Judge Pear 1.1 to ask his
attendance here to 'swear u Eckley B.
Coxe.
Mr. Selinaus : I- am lie' to object to

Mr. Seamans then related Ir. Coxe's rea

article 8. section 9 of th' Constitution,
which says "that any n who shall,
while a candidate for °flee, ba . guilty of

The iscussion took'quite a wide range
and , continued until the hour of ad
journ , t, but no conclusion was reached.
3lr. Davies opposed.the appointment of
the committee.
The discussion in this case was resumed
on Thursday, nearly every lawyer in the
Senate taking part. • Duriug the debate
on that.day; Mr. Davies remarked that he
thought Mr. Cole's wealth and his name
made the crime the more heinous, but
that has nothing to do with this case—it
should rest on the fact _that we have n 9
jurisdiction.
'The resolution to refer the case to a
committee was then defeated by a viva
vociyote, when Mr. Corm, who is said to
be;sevinal times a millionaire and a pro

Terrible Calamity at krrantaa
The Catholic Orphanage at Hyde
Park was buTed Sunday night. The
building was Occupied by the Sisters
of Charity under whose charge there
were, forty children, aged from six to
twelve. , The boys 'and Orli; occupied
separate dormitories on the third
floor. At half-past eight that even
ing One of the Sisters showed the
children to their rooms and locked
the doors for the night. She then
started to descend. When she reach
ed-the second story shC diAcovered
smoke issuing from one of the rooms._
Opening Ole door"-_she was driven
back by a cloud of — smoke. The fire
was raging ,along the ceiling and
making its, way to the upper floor.
The Sister darted up stairs and found
the girl's room 'full of smoke. She
took the girls to the lower floor and
started for the gi rPs dorm itory ; Smoke
was pouring into the hallway in blind
ing clouds.• When half way up the
Sister met a stranger. She attempt
ed to pass him, but he refused to al
low her, saying that the boys had
been rescued and it would be danger
ous for her to go back. She reluct
antly returned.
An alarm was given soon after the
fire broke out and brought out four
fire companies. ' The flames' . were
'raging fiercely when the firemen got
to work.
They were informed of the belief
of the. Sisters that some of the child
ren were, still in the building, and
made every effort to reach . the upper .
floor. In a short time the flames
*erg beaten back. The door of the
dormitories wasopeued,and seventeen
,victims were-found beneath ihe cots,
only two of theta touched by the fire»
All had evidently been dean - .tome
time. The cause of the fire is. in
doubt. There is intense excitement.
The children nearly all have mothers
living in this vicinity. They being
in destitute circumstances„ took , them
to, the. Asylum to be cared for. The
bunentations.of the Stricken mothers
as they altered ,the room in search of
their dead were heartrending:
