Coxonas is to be asked to make some
provision for honoring the day on which
the present flag of the United Stately *as

make 1y national holiday of the event.
" Honor the flag," is a very gox;d, Round

IT is stated that a new and terrible dis

sat down, apparently perfectly well, to

swelling extended - up his legs and ,

unnatural proportions. He tumbled dowp
dead in less than fifteen minutes from t4e, ,,

in .some instances the foremen have fled.

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,

body say that . these questions were
settled then, or later, and hence
should be dropped out of cOntro•

but they can never feel sure'that

what, was chattel slavery ? it Was
only a gr'pss formulation of the pre : .
scriptive right of the few as against
the

but the doctrine of pri.!scriptive'right
stands as Orin to : tlay as ever. And
the war nowinade upon . 3l4troNE in

it is only a phase of the war waged
successively upun LosoleinzzT, ban,

In none of these cases was it the man
upon whom war was waged and-is

Southern Democrat to ow n bimself.
It is a war waged in defens e of pre

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

the election franchise shall be free.
and fair, and that when a man votes
his vote shall be counted m east.

cessary to a man's existence, he should
follow the example of the' late ARTRALDS

HARRISBURG LETTER.
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. Bernal
bills were introduceccamong thim one to
prohibit the granting of insurance policies
except to relatives or eneditor4.
Mr. Merriaon, of, Lawrence, offered a
resolution :endorsing the administratioe
of tresident Garfield. and requesting our
Senators to oonfiim . his appointments
without unnecessary delay. After a noisy,
wrangle (it would not be right to call it
discussion), oontinnirsg about au hour,'
the yeas and nays were called fo the
thisd date on the motiosi - to proceed to
the second reading and considenstion of
the resolution, when it was decided in the
negative—yeas 52, naps 78. Mews.
,Marsh and Taylor voted in the affirma
tive, Mr. Hillis in the negative.
After all the bilis on — firet reading had
been disposed of, the House *Atomised
until Tuesday morning.
In the Senate on Tuesday morning the
12th bust., the bete empower courts of
common pleas to - haus, writs of mandamus
on State alma was wised finally. The
- purpose of the legislators in passing this
bill now is to enable them. or some one of
their number, to bring the salary question
or the Attorney General's opinion on the
subject before the Supreme Cook, which'
body having the last guess on All legal
masters, attaches some importance to
what it may give oat.
- Senate bill to increeee_the salaries of
the judges of the Supreme Court 81,000

Among the bills which passed the House
finallyoi Tuesday the inst., were the
following: Granting pensions to surviving
veterans of the Mexican war ; amending
