IT is stated that a new and terrible dis ease has broken out among the Chinamen eruployed,on the Canada and Pacific Rail road in British Columbia. A Chinaman sat down, apparently perfectly well, to dinner, when his feet began to swell.

He tumbled dowp dead in less than fifteen minutes from t4e, ,, time the disease attacked his feet. Mot 4 than one hundred have been carried off 10 this way.

'lt means to prevent the Repub. liesps from running a great department of the civil service by giving its p4rousge to • a turn-coat Republion who hasidentitied himself with the Donsociate in the Senate. This is a briniest wedeln of Democratic reform and gip. We scarcely s. think the natioaelintion will occur under this administration. Tn Easton Free Pries thinks, and so do we; that in everfooonty of this rich State there should be an institution for the imitate sat education of what' are now pauper &Wren in poor bons* tummy demands this. The old, pan: 'pea in the poor houses are those 'mainly who have been reduced t:► poverty by ' crime. They are thoroughly bankruptin morals. TLey teach the poor children in the shnshcruses all the vice current and take a vicious delight in so doing. These children become the criminals who till the A bill was introduced into the 'Litislature this winter, forbidding the sendtuz pf deritituto children e tc poor houses, but it• failed of passage because it did nqt provide for their support any.. wherC else. It clearly would• be cheaper to educate these children to useful trades than to xnpport thernas criminals in jail. i A -hilt providing for their maintenance and the ieaching of trades th them would, 1 we believe, meet with general approval. Ttismr: has been a fundamental differ ence in the management of educational enterprises in the Northern and Southern States from the beginning. In the North free common schools have been sustained by the State or by loCal taxation, while cAlegiate education has been left to the support of private benefacition. In the South the States have endowed universi ties, but popular'education has beep left to shift, for itself.' The result is apparent ip the wore general diffusion of edfataiion at the Nortb and in a superior el t iss cation at the - South. But, with the changes resulting from the abolition of slavery . anct 'the necessity of popularedu. cation growing out of the political enfran chisement of the negroes, the Northern system of common school education iii waking rapid adrAme in the Southern States.

ALL rou I'RESCRUPTINE NIGHT. Men change freqUently; and man ners: but the issues joined in politi cal struggle change less frequently. Men commonly. 'say that .the .old issues are dead, - ,, , and that parties' should not seek to revive theni, but, should create new issues. ,It would be as reasonable to say that certain . wants of civilized humanity are out worn.- and that the world should create new wants. Neither wants nor issues made to Order. Both are results of development, and they. arise - in-the same way that all logical dethietiona, arise that is, they are the legitimate outcome of something postulated. A variety of questiOni are engaging the attention of public inen to-day, but of them all not one is new.. •They are all old questions, • .? and men bare been fighting over their 60111ti03 for as many years as:man has endeavored to maintain organiz ed society.

Or-does. some+ body say that . these questions were settled then, or later, and hence should be dropped out of cOntro• verav ? • Men can - leel sure of spine things, : but they can never feel sure'that question has been settled. In fact, questions which relate to the progress Of peoples are. never Beetled, and can never be settled - so long as nian.pro gresses. Chattel Slavery :no - lOpger legally exists on this continent.• But what, was chattel slavery ? it Was only a gr'pss formulation of the pre : . scriptive right of the few as against the ,many. We, abolished 'slavery,. but the doctrine of pri.!scriptive'right stands as Orin to : tlay as ever. And the war nowinade upon . 3l4troNE in the Senate is now a part in defense of an alleged prescriptive 'right of a'few men in the old slave area In control the action of every in, that region, first, and by that , control to exercise a broader control of,nationat destiny If Mien ask how we linly this we can only say, that from the moment Of LEE'S surrender no Southern maw has been permitted to own.himself politically there except at the l ebst of ostracism', and frequently worse. Do men thltik that this is a . war upon MAIIONItt ? Ostensibly its is; really it is only a phase of the war waged successively upun LosoleinzzT, ban, Mosnr, and others/ wha haVe_had courage" and patriotism, l enough, to drop the Lost Cause' foreter and go forward to a new and betterorder of this. Certainly no more r efutable man than LONGSTREET was living hen the South revolted. • Morally he was the equal of Lan. Just as morally ihe was the superior of every other mane who became promiriefiti in the rebel lion. 'Moser does not suffer in com parison . with. the average of Abe Southern leaders as a man, while in compariion with him the South has not a Senator today who' doesUot suffer. The :same is - true as regards Senator MAIIONL. lie is better than any man who has sheen to revile In none of these cases was it the man upon whom war was waged and-is still waged by the Democratic lead ers. It is a denial of the right of a Southern Democrat to ow n bimself. It is a war waged in defens e of pre scriptive right On the part ' ofDemo craticdiui rebel bosses. . Thus it becomes the duty of Re publicans to stand firmly by their proposition to reorganize the Senate. To do so may involve the party in a national quarrel in behalf of such men in the South as, though not Re publicans, certainly '\do demand that the election franchise shall be free. and fair, and that when a man votes his vote shall be counted m east. TIM demand_ was made by too Re publican party in its youth, and in enforcing it. the party has spent ;warty every hour of its existence. In enfOrcing that demand it over threw the Democratic party, Bat it relates to one of the questions wbjPb GEZI are never-settled. It is our business as.

Special Correspondence of. Tux Risroarsn. HARRISBURG, April 16, 1881.—The ses sion of the Senateen Monday evening the 11th inst., was occupied exclusively in reading bills the first time. 'Among those thus disposed' were an act establishing a Superior Court. for this State ; creating a loan of $lO 000,000 at 4 per cent. interest to redeeintniaturing loans of the Com moitwealtio; proienting the use of fancy tyres in . printing tickets used for/ballot ing ; also amending the State Constitu tion ito as to reduce the number of mem bers of the House of Representatives to 150. The House sesaiouol,Monday evening was the scene of anothei circus perform ance, and no doubt.:-interfered.with the entertainment given by Mr. Coup under convas at `the same time in another part of the city. - The exhibition on the bill, although free to the epectafers 'who are unfortunate . to get in, is expensive to the taxpayers, while it is hardly fair competi tion. The managers of Coup's eIOWDS and animals are at heavy expense for license, advertiehig etc., while -the State pays all the cost of the hill show. The: House performance opened quietly but firmly with a continuation of the scalping or hair-raising act, in which the State officers are the victims and the statesmen the heroes. Mr. region, Dem ocrat, of Cambria; came to the Point first, asking unanimous permission to offer two resolutions which were unanimously pass. ed. The first resolution requests the State Trnansrer to furnish this House with A detailed statement of all the . moneys re= mind and deposited by the Attorney Gamma - on claims due the State during 1879 and:4BBo. The other calls on the Au ditor General to state all claims due the . State that passed into the Attoiney Gen eral's hands. fur collection for HO and 1880, and also a detailed statement of all accounts' and settlement made by the At town General for the same time.
