Ex-Governor Hartranft is now
postmaster of Philadelphia.
A lady, Miss Sue E. Beatty, Is

The state republican central com
mittee, Ohio, has decided to hold the
next state convention at Cincinnati on
May 28.
Gov. Hoyt has appointed Henry
W. Palmer, of Luzerne, as his Attor
ney General which apppointment has
been confirmed by the Senate.
t
Hon. Zachariah Chandler, re
elected to the United States Senate
from Michigan, to fill the unexpired
term of Mr. Cbristlancy, has arrived
in Washington and taken his seat in
the Senate.
The gas wells of East Liverpool,
Ohio, furnish a continual supply of
light and hrat to the town and as
the gas costs nothing the streets lamps
are never extinguished. It is used al
most exclusively for fuel being con
ducted into the grates and stoves by
pipes. For twenty years this has been
going on, and there are no indications
that the supply of gas is giving out.
The reservoir for the new peniten
tiary at Huntingdon will be quite an
extensive one. The area of the bot
tom of the reservoir, will be 40,000
square feet, capacity 900,000 gallons,
and will require 4,400 cubic yards of
earth to be excavated. It will be sur
rounded by an embankment twelve
feet wide, surmounted by 1,500 feet of
paling fence.
Oil City has an energetic priest,
Father Corroll whose church has a
congregation of 2,000, with a school of
800 children, taught by six sUters ; a
Sunday school or nw scholars, a
temperance society of To men, a young
womans sodality of 75 members, a
rosary society of 100 members, a boys'
temperance society 100 strong, and an
insurance society of 40 members. The
church owns its edifice, priest's resi
dence, sisters' house and school houe
and a cemetery, and is out of debt,
with money in the treasury.
Petitions are circulating in New
York asking for the repeal of church
exemption tax laws. Among the
reasons specified why they should be
repealed we read : "In the year 1000
the value of church property will reach
the sum of $3,000,000,000, a third more
than the national debt. Foresight
now on the part of your honorable
body may avert future disaster to the
state.1' It is difficult to reason why
such an enormous amount of property
should not be taxed. Let us "render
under Cresar the tilings that are
Ciesar's."
The vote of Texas at the recent
state election aggregated 240,812, an
increase of 39,643 over the Presidential
election of 1873, or fourteen per cent.,
which the Galveston ATews thinks in
dicates a population in November last
of at least 1,C85,000. When it is
remembered that a very full vote was
polled at the Presidential election,
while at the recent state election there
was but little organized opposition to
the Democratic ticket, it is safe to con
clude that the vote of Texas has in
creased 60,000 in two years, which
indicates an increase of population in
that time of between 300,000 and 400,
000. The number of petitions intro
duced in the house of representatives
during the present Congress is 10,167,
which are thus analyzed : Claims 1,
677, commerce 668, currency 106,
liquor traffic 204, miscellaneous 2,251.
These include women's suffrage,
adulteration of food, education, labor,
public lands, Indian affairs, Pacific
railroads and matters pertaining to the
District of Columbia, military affairs
376, naval affairs 79, tatents 192, pen
sions 878, polygamy 431, postal matters
641, tariff 2,440, taxation 254. These
petitions and memorials come from
private individuals, aliens corporations
literary, scientific and labor reform
societies, boards ot trade, state and
territorial legislatures in fact, from
almost' every branch of trade and in
dustry. Such papers are not presented
in open house , but are filed under the
rule.
The trustees appointed to arrange
the financial affairs of Bishop Purcell,
of Cincinnati, find that up to the
present time his liabilities reach $8,
600,000, and still the claims are coming
in. It is estimated by some of the best
posted persons that the total amount
of the archbishop's liabilities will
exceed $4,000,000, and it is understood,
that in accordance with the decision of
Chief Justice Taney, delivered several
years ago, none of the church property
held in trust by the archbishop can be
disposed of in payment of these debts,
as they were contracted extra-officially
and not in the line of his duties as
archbishop. The deficit has caused
much feeling among those who in
trusted their funds in- his hands, aud
the venerable prelate is roundly
abused on all sides. The universal
feeling among those intrusted with the
settlement of his affairs, la that every
dollar should be paid, and to that end
contributions will be solicited for that
purpose from all other dioceses in
America and Europe, and priests will
be dispatched to collect them.
Washington Letter.
From our regulivr correspondent.
Washington, D. C, March 4, 1879.
' One of the most snobbish social
events that has ever occurred at the
Capital was the Diplomatic reception
at the White House Tuesday evening.
Of course it was grand in Its appoint
ments and all thnt, but there was Bn
indefinable air of snobbishness about
it unusual upon any occasion in this
country. In the first place the special
tender of a reception to the Diplomatic
Corps Is an Innovation hitherto un
known here, while the mawkish at-
tempt at aping the ways and manners
of Imperial Courts was certainly a
very striking departure from Ameri
can practices. Invitations were sent
to the Cabinet officers, members of
both houses of Congress, the more
prominent Army and Navy officers,
and the heads of the various Bureaus;
and the line of vehicles without, as
well as the throng of guests within,
proved how generally the invitations
were accepted. The decorations were
elaborate and profuse. From the
massive chandeliers, smilax, and other
hanging greens were suspended, while
the mantel pieces, on which the im
mense mirrors rested, were covered a
foot deep with flowers with a back
ground of ferns and palms. In the
alcoves between the windows stood
magnifieicut specimens of blooming
exotics whose fragrant flowers per
fumed the spacious parlors.
When the reception was at its height,
the brilliancy of the scene was probably
never excelled by any fete ever given
by any administration. The Diplo
matic Corps, in full court dress, includ
ing representatives of nearly all the
foreign nations, the army and navy
officers, resplendent In gold braid and
brass buttons, and the unusually hand
some toilettes of the ladies made up a
picture that harmonized well with the
brilliantly-lit and decorated rooms.
The wide corridor leading from the
East room to the conservatory, and
upon which the Red, Blue and Green
parlors open, presented an equally fine
appearance. Flogs and conservatory
plants liued the passage, while a flood
of light streamed from the numerous
chandeliers. Dinner was served in
both thcstnteaml private dining-rooms
and the tables were marvels of culinary
art. In the center of the table, in the
former room, was the large mirror
used so often during the Grant ad
ministration. The floral display on
this was magnificent- The most
prominent feature was a large flower
balloon, formed of alternate rows of
white and pink a.alias. There was no
regular bill of fare, but in the edibles,
as in the decorations, there was the
utmost profusion, and although nearly
2,000 persons partook of dinner, there
was no apparant diminution of the
viands. No wine was served, and the
thirsty guests were forced to choose be
tween lemonade and coffee.
The most striking exhibition of
snobbery was the gratuitous insult to
representatives of the press. Instead
of extending them invitations, the
same as other guests, they were
provided with cards of admission to
the vestibule. If they had been omitted
altogether there would have been no
complaint, though the right to invite
who you please does not apply as much
to official receptions at public expense
us it does to entirely private entertain
ments. But when men like Gen.
Boynton, of the Cincinnati Gazette;
Z. L. White, of the New York Tribune;
Geo. W. Adams, of the World ; Rams
dell, of the Philadelphia Times, and a
score of others I could name, who are
the peers of every man con
nected with this administration, and
who are infinitely the superiors, in
character, culture and intellectual
capacity, of two-thirds of our Congress
men when such men are invited to
stand in the "vestibule" among colored
lackeys and the Marine Band horn-
blowers, to look at a White House
reception, the thing assumes an ap
pearance of grotesque insolence unpre
cedented in this country. Mr. Hayes
says that is the way such things are
done in Europe.
Night sessions of both houses of
Congress are the rule now. For the
first time in the memory of the
oldest inhabitant the Senate
undertook the other night to secure a
quorum by compelling the attendance
of Senators. The Seorgant-at-arms
dispatched his deputies, at threeo'clock
in the morning, to hunt up absentees.
Some got out of bed to report, some
refused to admit the messengers, and
others, or at least one other Senator
Conkling told them to go to the
devil, or words to that effect. When
this was reported at the Senate there
was some talk of sending for Roscoe
with a strong body-guard, but, as a
quorum was soon secured, the matter
was dropped. The Brazilian steamship
subsidy has gone through the Senate,
but I do not think it can pass the
House. The House Democrats have
succeeded in passing the legislative
and judicial appropriation bill, with
the amendments repealing certain
sections of the Federal election law.
The Senate will, of course, reject the
amendments, and a conference com
mittee will result. If the house stands
Ann the Senate must yield or let the
bill fail, and pass the Senate organiza
tion over to the Democruts at an extra
session. At ft conference of the green
back Congressmen-elect, held here
this week, determination to maintain
separate orgonization and endeavor to
hold the balance of power in the next
House was stoutly expressed. There
seems, however, to be some uncertainty
as to the actual number of out-and-out
Greenbackers. Dom Pedro.

biest boxes yon ever saw. Call at this

The mania for. spending large
sums In forts and big guns still obtains
In Italy. The forts around Spe.ia are
now receiving a supply of one hundred
ton guns cast at Turin, to be placed so
as to command the entrance of the
vast harbor. Spezia Itself Is a miser
ble hole not worth the powder and
shot intended to protect it even If it
could be protected against any of the
larger European navies
