GOLD closed in New York yesterday. at

IN Michigan the election yestenilay 're
sulted in the defeat of the new Constitntion
and,success of the Pi hibition measure.
THE electiOnin Voithecticut, Yesterday,
was closely contested; and; judging , from
returns received, it is probable it resulted in
the election of Etcor,ran, Democr!t, for
Governor, by a decreased majority. .In
1867 the whole vote cast in, that State for
,
Governor was 94,154; Democratic majority
976. *e 'lave nothing on whiCh to esti
mate the political complexion of the Legis
lature. Last: year the Republicans had a
majority of . eleven on a joint ballot.
Latest dispatches state the Legislature will
be Republican, with a majority of over
twenty on joint ballot. , .
THE ENGLISH COMMONS, on. Friday night,
gave a decisive majority of sixty "against
Ministers, Amon the Motion to postpone the
considemtion of Mr. Gisnixonn's resolu
tions on Irish Church I?efiirm to the next
session: Mr. D'llmsEtl has, therefore, un
der the Parliarnentary precedents, only the
alternatiVes of resigning hia office or of dis
solving Parliament and going to the people
under a new election. This news came to
us by the western mail of last night, hav
ing been; telegraphed west from New York
at a very late hour on Saturdity morning.
Why this.,important intelligence was not
telegraphed to the Pittsburgh press at all,
either for their Saturday or. Monday morn
'frig issues, is a matter which the associated
journals of this city feel an interest in seeing
explained. '
CONFIR lATORT of our statement that, up'-
on Vice p- sident Jomcsor's accession to
the Chief Magistracy, the resignations
,of
Mr. Lrxcomi'sSecretaries were tendered to
him, and that he declined to receive'them,
expressly retaining, each and all of those
officers in his Cabinet, we find that the"
Managers i now present, as a part 'of the nevi=
denteto sustain Impeachment, the
official bulletin from the War Depart
ment, dated April 15, 1805, in, which Sem . -
tary STANTON announced the'new Presi
dent's accession to office, and that at a Cabi:
net meeting held that day, among other
things, °canned the following : "
" The President formally announced that
he desired to retain the present Secretaries
Of Departments as his Cabinet, and that
they would go on and diszharge their re
spective duties in the same manner as before
the deplorable' event: that had changed, the
head of the GOveritraent.," .
THE. 'SENATE declines to Permit the case
against Mr. JoinssOi, as made in theArti
cies, to lie delayed by any extension of- the
line of proof. But within the charges as laid
in those',Aitieles, the Maiiageraibid that
their evidence is uniformly admitted, .unlesa
for valid.legal objections plainly edablished.
Many of the Republican - Senators are' law
yers of went ability and eminent profession
al attainments, and they will insist that this
State trial, more important in its nature and
results than ever before known in the histo:
ry.of nations, shall be as conspicuous foi. its
faithful 'vindication of all tlie principles of
the law, aafor its extraordinary political in
fiuence, in demonstrating the unassailable
atrength's, of 'our Republican ' institutions.
Consequently, in nearly, if not quite, all
of those divisions of the Senate upon inter
locutory-questions, where by the aid of Re
publican voters, the decisions have been ad
verse to the claims of the Meruigers, these
dissenting Senators luiie been'the lawyers:of
whom we speak. Not a man of them doubts
the guilt Of the, accused, uroiin
. rthe' charges
ana proof under the Articles. - *To enlarge
the case is unwise, unnecessary and - indeed
unjustifiable; it is ample as it stands, and so
the result will show:
IT xs but simple justice to award to 'the
management of the Western Union Tele:
graph line, a hearty acknowledgment of
the usual promptitude and accuracy of the
system under which' they forward the'fieWs
reports for the Associated I Press. With a
net-work of lines radiating to every part. of
the Unioft, and reaching not only every im

place in thirtyseven States, they possess, it
is true, so nearly a monopoly of that pe

LTBEIUMSM GlitkatT BRITAIN...
In, no large country Europe has the
popular element been so potential in
ernmental affairs, during the last two him
dred years, as in Great Britain. , 1-Not - that
all classes of the population °fillet country
have at any point, duringlhat long period,
participated in political power. But the
tendency has constantly been to increased
liberality. Of course, the privileged' Orders'
have often resisted, as hest they could, !en
croachments upohtheir prenigatlik They
liaveappealed to hereditary right, to the as
sumed incompetency of other classes to ex
ercise steadily: and beneficently any impor—
tant share in• r governmental administration,
haVe invented 'sophistical - ethnologic theories
to exclude what they call the lower orders
from dividing influence :with them, have
summoned the vilest ,social prejudices to
their aid, and have invoked those * bitterest
of all jealousies and hatreds which "grow
out of diversities of religious faiths. AU
this they have done without permanent ef
fect. The great movement has goneon,
frem-year to year, the 'leaders perceiving
the end with increasing distinctness'and ad
vancing their demands as the Means of ac
coniplishment more 'certainly came within
their grasp.
All the:while, it has been the boast of the
aristocracy that Great. Britain; enjoyed a
larger degree of liberty, and on a more en
during basis than any other.. nation in,
Europe. Nor was this an idle boast. It
accorded with theliterallact. ;Great Britain,,
while remaining in form a monarchy, had,
in fact liecome an. Oligarchy. It must be .
corifessed e ,,moreover, that, while the, nobili
ty 'wrenched absolute authority from the
Crown, they, did,not always retain a mono
poly of it in their own hands. Co-operating
with: the Commons, frequently with the ,
most enlightened'views, and with a spirit of ,
commendable liberality,' iheynot only con.. )
seated to a division Of the political mithori-
V, but advocated such a division as of the
highest stiOnieqtteilcii to classes , : the . -
realm. But they have steadily maintained
that acertain degree of intelligence, and the
possession of a definite amount of property,
should be conditiona precedent to .the -exer
cise of the elective .franchise. :Naturally
enough, they have differed among them
selves, find: , from - ether; orders when they,
have been called
_upon to define the precise
points in the scale of intelligence and,, prop
erty.at which the qualification should be
fixed. e t • -
' The leaders of the commonalty ; have car
ried their boast further,' .and maintained,
that Great Erltain was not only better, fitted
for self-givvermnent than any other nation
in Europe, but was so ainindruttly fitted
r therefor, that the actual , Government
ought to be established on a truly popular
basis. Experience has taught them that
forms are of comparatively little come
quenee, and-that if the nobility can rule in
the name of the Crown, the people can do
so as well without di!turhing venemble
traditions which have really lost there sig
nificance, or shocking prejudices which
haVe suvived the condition of society which
Called them inteetistiice.` •
`Of late the nobility equally with the com
monalty have been seized with the convic
tionthat a broader foundation of political au
thority than that — which has lieietofote
existed, must be laid, and that right, speedily.
This conviction is 'not shared to the .full'ex
tent, if at all, by the whole of that order,
but the larger part of them feel the impulse,
and are marking out their course for the
future in' Obedienee to it, '..l:i . arrOw_4lded
peoplelll4 affirm that this is only_becanse
they: foresaw the sondng•discomfiture, and
chose to retain what power they could, un
der the circumstances,,rather than run the al
most certain risk of losing it altogether.
But to reach this conclusion it is needfql to
blot out or discard the teachings British
;
history, so as to get rid of those memorable
epochs in which-the nobility periled P l l Ih r y.
held most dear by resisting the throne in
defence of, the lights-of the people: Whiie
it may be conceded•thit •thembility are'not
indifferent to the rights of• their order, or to
otherpersonal advantages„ it must be con
fessed that they are 'actuated, in many par
ticulars, by a - generous patilotisni. If they,
do not divest themselves so entirely of habits
arising out of birth, education, interest or
ambition, as to comp . rehend fully the impuls
. es of the trading and producing classes, they.
do 'desire to do the beat for England that can
be done under their view of the case.
This explains sufficiently, we think, why
the ° _Tory party recently promised conces
sions as to the elective Iranchisii which iur;
paised those offered by the Liberals them-
Selies. The latter were in doubt as to how
far to go, and hence would trot; venture so
far as to expose themselves to the certainty
of defeat. They
_misjudged hou:, far the ills
cussions of the last feir years had carried
the Tories from their inooriiiis. While they

striking out considerably in advance. It
would be easy , to say that this movement
was simulated and unreal; a promise, to
delude expectation but not intended for ful
fillment. But none of the later accounts
authorize this solution. When the Tories

Jew, himself a plebian, they gave tokentbat

t Ir the month of March,many of, our citi
zens who were constrained to undergo the
periodical inflation of moving, mere inclin
ed to put off hiring new. quarters until the
last moment, hoping there ;would prove •to
:bean overstock of houses, and That rents
would be abated. Considering that four
thensand buildinks have been erected in this
city and the adjacent municipalities each
year for several years past, this expectation'
•was not unnatural. There was reason to
suppose that, in view of the comparative
stagnation of manufactures, building had
been pushed beyond the actual demand. But
-Snell is demonstrated it 9 t: -to be the flet.,
Moving day-has come and gone, and very
few or no tenements remain untaken. A:
foitnight hence, it is safe to predict, it will
be ns near impossible to obtain a desirable
dwelling as at any former period.
Meanwhile building has again commenc
ed; not, indeed, on as large a scale as last
year or the year •before, but in a way to
show"that before fall the new structures will
•be "completed,--not by hundreds but by thqus
ands:. It is worthy .ofnotice that a more
considerable proportion of the new build
ings are of superior quality than in former
days. Not a few of them will compare ad
vantageously with those erected in.any other
town in the United States. "
WE find the very "cool" paragraph an
nexed in the Tioga Agitator:
We see that Judge Woodward is alluded
to as , "Bombastes Ftirioso." We should_
as soon allude to the Polar Sea'as a tropical.
expanse. The man has no more hea,t_m his
blood than a Saurian. The only "mipulie

LETTER FROM MARELSBIA64.

liLuttusnutto, April 4, 1888.
The Appropriation bill was reconsidered
on Thursday, and recommitted to the Fl
- Commitee. cln the evening the bill
was reported back, with all the, local, Alari
ties struck out, the School appropriation re
duced to $400,000 and Orphans! school to
$400,000. This brought the appropriations
in the aggregate down :to $3,000,000, of
W'hieli $1,800,000 was foi_interesto.4 Ow-
State debt. The B.tate Treasurer ; jVhis
port at the. beginning., of the : session,
mated the appropriations at $3,800,000; so.
that the bill, as it stands, is within $lOO,OOO
of the estimate. , The House appointed a
Committee- of Conference, consisting, of
Messrs. Mann, Nicholson and Josephs, and
the Senate appointed Messrs. Connell, Errett
and Randall: The Committee will not pro
iiably meet' before Tuesday, and its principal
difficulty: will be with the salaries of the
State officers and subordinates..
The House to-day adopted the Senate res
olution to adjourn on Tuesday, the 14th.

This is a verylniportant law;azid I regret
that I caabot:send-you a complete copy, but
f I send a copy Of that'part applying to the
State outside of Philadelphia.. The Legis
lature 011 - probably order it to be published
in pamphlet form and codified ,with the
other election laws which;it leaves in force.
The free railrbad law, as it has now gone
-to the GoVernor, is the same as the one you
published lately, except that the subscrip
tion is fixed at $9,000 pet Mile, and that tbe
term of two years, instead of'One, is allowed
'in .which to , commence ',work on a road.
The Sixth•section of the old ' bill struck
out and - a new one inserted; allowing "the
companies under this law , to increase their
',capital stock until it, reaches, $60,000 per.
mile. It cannot exceed that amoilnt.' •
A warm debate sprung up in the Senate,

a fair vote; but tolerably close, and was last

Republicans. Last fall the Republicans
nominated Mr. M'Fitty, of Hunting

Intyre of Perry, and Mr. Slitigert, of Cen
ter. Mclntyre was declared elected by
about 200 ma3ority, and Shugert by 22, over
Robinson. The . aonferees who nominated
3FVitty and Robinson passed a resolution in
favor,of it Free' Railroad Law, and this, it is
supposed, !turned the whole force of the
Pennsylvania road, (which traverses the
entire district,) against them, and so turned
I
It Republi into a Democratic . district.
Upon'th investigation which has been
Instituted ' to the legality of Shugert's elec.
' tion, " the f 'lowing developments have taken
I
place:
1. That in one district in Clearfield emp
ty Over si ty votes were 'east -by , railroad
laborers pon forged naturtilizahon-papers
2. Tha these forged naturalization paper§
were issn din blank - in LuZeine county,' a
cast.tiff lof the Conrt of Common Pleas ;
of that cciunty being usectto give them the
semblance Of being genuine,. and'ihat they :
Itrere issued;there by thousands to whoever
would vote the democratic ticket. .. .
8. Thatrwhen the Senate‘Commiftee vill—
ted Lnzerne county to
. search the records
for tht names of thise voters in Clearfield
county who presented' atfiraliz.ation papers
bearing the seal of. Luzenie county, one of
the naturalization dockets could not be found,
althoughit had been in the office only the
day before. . . .
That in Rush ( township, in one of the
counties otthe contested district, no order`
•or law was observed in conducting the elec.
tion, and that, on opening the ballot box, in
the'Senate Committee room; -not` a ballot
was found in it—nothing but old papers and
tally lists: - • ' '
5. That the Corhmittee, after searching
Clearfield`county over, was able to find_ but
one of the Irishmen who voted on the forged
_papers. 'That one frankly confessed he had'
been butlen months in the country; that he.
"couldn't rade any more than a baste," and
that he voted the ticketithat was given' him;
:and-this man, upo'n returning to his home
in Clearfield county, was waylaid and erti
elly murdered. - '
.
6. That O'Meara, the.' railroad boss who
mustered his hands to vote the Deniocratic
• ticket upon forged papers, was paid $5OO by
the Catholic priest to go to. Canada and stay
there until the investigation by the •Senate
Committee was over; and that having gone
there, according to agreement, was brought.
back by the Sergeant -at-Arms.
7. That Robinson WaS fairly elected by
abort 100 majority, and that a Democrat.has
beeiYholding'a seat all'ivinter into whici ? ,he
was forced by,Democratic fraud and &lean
k :r And flnallY; and worst of all, it s
now currently ; morted- 7 -•
8. That despairing of savings the sitting
member by _the evidence, bribes .were of
fered for a report in his favor. I have no
means of Verifying this:rumor, but - I'lll6w
that it is - in circulation: - I would fain hope
there is no truth in'it; and as the Cemmittee
made a report, five to two; on the side of the
right and supported 'the evidence, we
may well afford to forget, that such rumors
ever had an existence, • - • . •
Much credit is due to-John Ce.ssna, of Bed
ford, and H. Beecher - BWive, of Clearfield,
for the masterly manner in which they have
conducted this case:: -It latati elr indefidl
labia energy and zeal; to the great'care with
which they pfepared their•case, to the talent
and ability they displayed in meetingg all the
subterfuges Of their opponents and to the
thorough manner in which the evidence was
hunted up, that we owe this triumph of the
right and the defeat of all Democratic ex

ward youth of thirteen: years. A warrant
was issued and placed if the.hands of ofil- j

and arrested the boy and brought him to

brought into the Mayo office a prominent
member of the bar was present, who, being
favorably impressed with the boy's appear

learningl the cause of hill arrest and deten
tion, he - directed the officers to carry the
proceedings no farther; but'to take the boy
to a hotel and have him 4 provided for, and
he would pay the costs 6f the proceedings,
and any necessary - bill, in addition to which
he would take charge of the boy and edu
cate him. The little fellow appeared-to be
well pleased with hiS mks proteetor.

friend with more painfti feelings than that
of Mrs. Mary M., wife of Joseph Shallen

husband's residence onlliver avenue, near
Anderson street, Alleglidny city. For some
time she has been in rather delicate health,
but still active in home duties, until Within
a brief time she siidddrily was stricken
down and finally was celled to the better
Land. For years she had been" an exempla.

Strike Ended.—The C/leveland Herald

The manwho seized the Relay House,
crept like a panther and at a spring into 13al
timore, sent a" rebel to the gallows in New
Orleans, - sent a rebel wonian'to a torrid is
nand, held the trenches before Richmond,
flung a couple of iron mines into Fort Fisher:
made New York shudder, and himself one
of the most debatable names' in our mili
tary history, stood on Mohday, without uni
form, before the Court of Impeachment,- to
open the case of the People agaist the Presi

A singular presence wqs his, short, broad
shouldered, short-legged,; fat, without much
neck, but with a good ninny flaps around
the throat, - Standing as Ica trifle bow-legged
and with no suggestion of a military habit
and life, rather of sedentary occupations
which had encouraged the sagacities and re
sentments-say, indeed, a politician! A cu
rious natural crescent of a forehead, sWeep
ing round from ear to mit; was developed by
baldness into a great cranium of a shining
pink color; in which the folds of the brain
revealed themselves withl'a 'naked, muscular
appeaance.- Tool naked, indeed, was the
man's head, to give the lookers-on in the
galleries a comfortable feeling. But for the
red tint of his baldness hel looked cold.—G.
