I. WILTERT. i SUXBURY, DECEMBER 3. 1873. JIektijjo OF Congress. The first ses sion of the Fourty-fourth Congress will begin, on Monday next. .- It is probable that the House of Repretnttires will or ganize at once if the Dcmocrapy can agree upon the election of Speaker. Should the caucus candidate who will be decided upon to-morrow evening be sustained, there will be scarcely any delay, and the President's message will be communicated to both Ilouses of Congress, on Tuesday. The Senate will be called to order by Sena tor Ferry of Michigan, who was chosen presiding officer at the close of last session. It is believed boweTer, that Mr. Anthony, of Rhode Is '.and, the oldest member of the Senate who will retire from political life in 1877, and who has frequently presidedovcr the senato in the absente of the Vice Presi dent, will supersede Mr. Perry. This will be the long ession of Congress and will run into Juii or July, but it is apprehended that it will "not be a very proGtable one, a the Ilouse of Bcpresenla tires, having a Democratic majority for the first time in many years, and more than half of them Confederates, will doubt less make free use of their opportunity in obitructiug any legislation likely to add to theitrength of the Administration in the coming canvass ; and especially will use It ' to go into the investigating business with a rush, in the hope of makiug disclosures .'damaging to the Republican party. In this they will probably be sadly disappoint ed, for in every proposition of the kind, which is not absolutely absurd, the Repub licans will vote with the majority. They haxe nothing to fear, and will have much to ffain, by any fairly-conducted investiga tion. - JVCCOHDINO to the Plr.ladephia Press it seems that' while our Jv.ate is spending large sums of money to restore the liberies of the Susquehanna, and introduce new varieties; restraining her citizens from fish ing t certain seasons, and namiug the Cianner in which they may take fiah, the State of Maryland neither spends money, provides hatching houses for uew varieties, nor restrains her citizcus from fishing at all times, and with what ever murderous im plements they put in use. That paper cays : "Immediately over the Pennsylvania line the Suquehanua is filed with gillnets, pots, baskets, out-lines, dams and other similar devices, by which hundreds of thousauds, if uot millions, of the young fish, aj.l jurtieuUrly f s!i. l, are des troyed annually, while '.he ovc-r-fishiux at thesi1 points with gigantic stines, prevents the run siia'l ! the higher waters of the SuqivuutiTja.

State comity certainly prove a sufficiently strong boud to induce Maryland to unite with Pennsylvania io tins passage aud en forcement of laws. to put a slop to this wanton and costly destruction. The Press has performed a public service in directing attention to the matter. The revival in Philadelphia, under (he preaching of Moody and singing of Sankey bids fair to be more extensive aud sweep ing than that in Brooklyn. Large num bers, estimated at twu thousand, rose for prayers at the first service really and di rectly held fer the benefit of the unconvert ed. The work goes forward with many indication of increasing power. There is, in Philadcdphia, a better combination of christian workers than was had in Brok lyn, and all looks favorable to an extensive and earnest revival 'Co. Scott,-president of the Pennsylvania railroad, has offered to erect a temporary bridge at the Market street crossing of the Schuylkill at Philadelphia for a sum of ( money not to exceed 865.000. The Press says "a temporary bridge is a necessity, time being requsrd to mave arrangements for the erection of a fitting permanent struc ture, and the advantage of gelling such temporary bridge at cost prise which is - what, as we understand it, this offer ini pliesis manifest.' Tn courts of Kentuckey have just de cided the local option law to be unconsti tutional, on the ground that it is not uni 1 form, and that the State, Legislature has so power by its euactmehts to constitute oh avt an offence in one county- or town snip, and to' punish it as such, which in umi;i v.'yunij-.ri l'wuqii: 1111 J IMC IHW fully done.

The note it the same width, but about half an inch longer than the old ones. It has a heavy border around it. and the likeness of William II. Crawford, who was for many years Secretary of the Treasury; Iu the center is a carmine lozenge, containing the Treasury seal, and this surrounded by the words- "United States Fifty (Ants Frac tional Currency,1' iu handsome text and open shaded lettering. The main face of the note is in fine black and the engraving is exquisite. The back is green, aud bears the 00 several times related, also the usual legend in regard to the capabilities of the note as a legal tender. It is much the most creditable specimen of its kind yet issued. It is supposed that William B. Astor leaves an undivided estate, mostly realty, of one hundred millions of dollars, even at present reduced value of real property on Manbattea Island.

The uneasiness of the Democratic papers about the school eu&tion, their apparent anxiety to belittle it, and their constant reference to it, either iu depreciation of its importance, or to show that there is really no damage impending ia connection with it, all indicate the consciousness that it is the coming question in politics. They would like to avoid it, or stave it off; but they evidently feel an apprehension . that it will press itself for consideration in spite of all that can be done to prevent it. The catholic bishops, such, for instance, as Bishop M Quade, of Rochester, and Bishop Gilmore, of Cleveland, are much more moderate in their tone on this ques tion since the election than they were be fore, but thev still mantain their position of demanding either a proportion share of the school money direct, or the mauienance of Catholic schools out or the common school fund. They are not, they say, the enemies of the public school system. Cer taiiily not. They want- the schools to go on, but they want, also, to have all their children educated in seperate schools, under Catholic teachers, and at the public ex pense, the religious part of their education to be given after or between the regular school hours. Whelher.tberefore.they fall back upon a demand for their nroportionate share of the school fund, with which to carry on schools under their exclusive control, , or whether they claim seperate Catholic scbools. to be maintained out of the common fund, deriv ed from taxation, we are confronted with the necessity of deciding not between these plans hut upon the simple queaUour shall " ... i . 1 sectarian schools be mauiamea av .me public expense ? That is the naked quus lion, aud is tho poiut to be passed upon bv the tK)pular. verdicL It is not as to how sectarian schools shall they be main tained, but shall they be mautaiued at all? In either -of the forms proposed tue schools would not be either public or com mon. They would be sectarian, in the fullest seuse of the term. Xo child of parents belonging to any other sect would be permited by its parents to attend either, the schools under exclusive Catholic cou trol, or schools taught by teachers selected with a special view 10 their religious con victions. The purpose of the demand for such schools is to make them Catholic, or as we prefer to phrase it, sectarian. Cover the proposition up with whatever verbiage you chose, and you will have to come back to the conclusion that the object is to secure the schools in which Catholic ism Khali be taught as a part of the plan of educaliou, and at the public expense. We care little, consequently, for the particular shape in which this demand is or may be pressed. We take our stand upon the broad ground of hostility to sec tarianism in the public schools. This is the only common ground on which schools free to all can be kttpt up at the public ex pense. If the Slate is lo educate her chil dren out of a comiuoi, fund, derived from general laxaliou. flit must educate all alike, aud leave religious views to be inculcated in some other way. The question as lo the complete seculariza lioueducalion is atndher question altogether and can '.ksI be settled by itself; the first ami most important question is to dispose of the demand put forth by such represen tative men as Bishop M'Quade and (iil more. That is the coming question. We do not propose to enter more fully into its details to-day ; but we desire to keep our readers acquainted with the shape it is likely to assume. It is a question which cannot be ignored or pooh-poohed out of the way. It is a living, practical question;' which no ingenuity can evade, and il be hooves us to be getting ready to meet it as intelligently as we may. Pittsburg Jom mtrcial. The j rojer treatment of tramps still vexes '.he public mind. The Ohio law, passed last winter. - 'r fts it goes, in presenting a method for dealing with this troublesome class. We subjoiu its provising : 1. That if anv male person physically able to perform n anual labor, and to whom labor at reasonable prices has been offered and refused, or who has not made reasona ble effort to procure employment, shall be fonnd in a state of vagrancy or practicing comroou begging, he shall, on conviction therefore, be fined in any sum not exceeding fifty dollars, and sentenced to hard labor in the jail of the county, for which lab'rhe shall receive credit at the rate of seventy five cents per day, until said tine and costs of prosecution and accruing costs shall be paid. 2. Commissioners of the several coun ties are hereby authorized to provide for carrying the provisions of the foregoing section into effect, for which purpose they may. by order enlersd upon their journals, declare that the jail shall extend to and in clude the lands of the proper county, and every kind and form of labor coramouly performed therein by male persons. The last clause, extending the jurisdic t ion of the. county jail over the lands of the county, is a simple and effective way of surmounting a difficulty hertotore met with.

PKNXNYLVAXIA. WlXKESBARKK, Nov. 28. The most extensive and serious mining casualty eve: known in the Wyoming val ley has just occurred and seems to be still progressing at the. Chauncy and Grand Tunnel mines, between Plymouth and Nanticokc, about two and a half miles south of the former place. About two weeks ago Mr. Roberts, one of the proprietors of the Chauncy mine, noticed that the roof oi the opening was working in a most extraordinary manner indicating that inside operations were at tended with considerable danger to those engaged in digging coal in the different chambers or employed in the various gang ways. He watched the phenomenon with the greatest interest, and was finally con vinced that the mine was doomed to cer tain calamity. About eleven o'clock in the rooming of the 19th iiist. he nave orders for the men to leave the mine as soon as possible, aud remove as much of the company's proper ly as could be taken out on the spur of the moment. The miners to the number of 1:23 lelt their work at twelve o'clock, tak ing with them the implements of their call ing, and two hours later, had it not been, for the caution ami foresight of Mr. Rob erts, a most fearful loss of life must have occurred, as the whole number of miners would have been entombed by about forty acres of rock which crushed down and till ed up the honey combed opening beneatb. The disaster extended to Grand Tunnel mine, adjoining the cave, it seeming lo drag over the roof in a southerly direction until stopped by a huge wall of rock known to mining engineers as "a fault," which raised up between the Grand Tunnel and the adjacent mine operated by the Susque hanua Coal Company. Iu the Grand Tun nel some sixty or seventy acres of rock have been hurled, effectually closing opera tions for months to come. The whole fall, it will he seen, embraces over one hundred acres, and the damage lo the mine is csii.natcd at over 3100,000. S vrral hundred miners h.tve been thrown out ol employment just at the time when it is most essentially important for them to lc at work The effects of the cave in were truly ter rific. Huge boulders were thrown oul of the mouth of the tunnel by the compressed air as if they had been pebbles, aud the shock of the crash was like that of an earthquake. The working of the roof pre vious to the disaster is represented as awe inspiring iu an eminent degree. The mountain seemed to be in travail, and the rocks groaned and writhed as if in the throes of intense agony. The hollo chambers re-echoed the dismal sounds, aud, taken altogether, tuc scene was one calculated to intimidate the heart of lbs hardiest miner in the land. The dissoln tiou of the mountain appears to be still going on, and there is no predicting how much more desolation will ensue in that a uarter, TheCliauuey mine is operated by Messrs. Albright, Son, Roberts & Co., and the Grand Tunnel is under the control of the Sunquehanaa Coal compauy. One or two caving in of mines have taken place in other parts of the valley during the past two weeks, and from the peculiar coinci dences in the matter the idea is gaining strength that the casualties are the result of a slight earthquake which passed through the valley iu a northeasterly and southwesterly direction. This is the theory of the mine owners, who repudiate the im pression that robbing the pillars in the mines has had any effect in producing the calamities. Correspondence. OCR XEW YOltK LETTKK. THE DEATH OK VICK 1'KESIUBNT WILSON OF WILLIAM 11. ABTEK MOODY AND SANKEY AGAIN SI'S PER COL CON CERNING SAILORS A WORD ON THANKS GIVING. New York, Nov. 30, 1873. the death of vice-president wilson. The flam all over the city are still flying at half-mast for the death of Vice President Wilsou, an event which causes siucere and universal sorrow. His simple manliness of character, his unaffected patriotism and unquestioned honesty have year by year wou for him among all classes a regard, which death easily exalts into a tender memory. Like the late President Lincoln he sprang from the very dregs of the people and yet attained to the second honors of the Republic, as the other did to the first. The career ol both admirably illustrates the free geuius of our institutions, and the absence of those barriers of caste and privileges which lilock the way in less favored ands. WILLIAM U. ASTOR'S DEATH. Naked out of the world, naked and poor us he came into it, kim-n this week the wealthiest man on this Continent, Mr. William B. Aslor, only nurviving son of John Jncol Astor. He leaves property, mostly ri al estate, estimated at the lowest to be f 100,000,000, and probably these figures are a good deal too small, big as they are. He was born in this city, in 1702 aud was therefore 83 years old. His father died iu 1843 at the same ripe age, leaving a fortune of over $20,000,000, more than half of which fvll to William B. whoc portion, increased by a legacy from his uncle Henry, has steadily grown to this enormous sum. He owned more than 2,500 houses and building lots, many of the houses being among the finest in the city It has been a rule with the Astor family from the beginning never lo sell any real estate, but to buy, which they have doue with rare sagacity and good judgement ever since old John Jaco b got a good start in life. While William B. may not have had so original a genius for money making as his father, he was certainly in all other resects his superior. He possessed an ex cellent judgment and great aptitude for business affairs, and mauaged his vast con cerns with wonderful intelligence and order. He was one of the best' landlords in the city, strict, to be sure, and exacting his own, but taking excellent care of his tenements, holding them at a fair rent, and so just and reasonable- that people always liked to get into his houses ; and he tooc care to make it for the interest of gool tenants to stay. He nearly doubled the old man's bequest for founding the Astot library ; indeed, it is said that he inspired the idea of it inhis father's mind, for it il not generally knowu that he was a ripe scholar and, found his chief eujoyment it the society of his books. " His life was quite uneveutful, he lived much more implj aud unostenla'niously than hundreds it this city do who are bothered to make both ends meet, and worked more hours a day than most men'vbo merely get a living from hand to mouth. So that iu life he had no more enjoyment of his wealth, than we all may have and, perhaps, have out of our small incomes, and all of his uiillkms could not buy him one hour's respite of the stroke of death. How much did R leave?" nsked one friend of another,' when a rich man of their ac'nunintauce died. "He left all he hail," was the wise reply. Fortunate,- in deed, and blessed are they who leave uiore than material wealth, houses and lands, and silver and gold ; who leave names which pass along down the ages in the kindly speech of the lowly and miserable- lifted up, "comforted by their thoughtful and tender benefactions. .MOODY AND SANKEY AGAIN. Moody and Sankey, those mighty cap tains of the Church militant, have abau' doned the siege of the fortress of sin over in wicked Urooklvn. and. removing with all their. inndiiwt, have sat them down before the easier walls of the Quaker city. What effect their holy artillery wrought in Brooklyn is uot easy to discover, lucre was a large attendance upon them, many professedly anxious inquirers, and all that, but little is known of the number of cou versious, aud in so short a time, nothing of what change has really been wrought in the lives of the new professors. It is said in Brooklyn, that their efforts are but the beginning of a series of such, and thatdur ing the winter marvelous doings may be looked for in the churches. Let us hope so, and bid God speed to all efforts by whomever made to lead the race to better living. It might be said here that Rev. Dr. Storrs, who has been greatly tempted by offers from a rich church in New York has finally decided to remain with the Church of the Pilgrims in Brooklyn, whose pulpit he has filled now for thirty years. SUS. PER COL. It has been said that the worst use to put a man to is to hang him ; but that can't possibly be true in this city. It now and then happens that a criminal is promptly hunted down, fairly and prompt ly tried, and if his offense is a capital one. sus. Ter ml. And he was never worth so much iu his life as in his death, for he dangles from the gibbet, a terror to his kind, and life is safe, for a good while after. It is not a pleasant thought that a man nav meet ui the streets of New York in an t veniug's promenade a hundred men. who, if they had a good chance, would cut his throat for two dollars and a half, or some such matter ; but it is true, neverthe less, and nothing keeps their hands down but the shadow of the gallows tree homiv tree for this locality. Now. ber is a substantial fact : up to the lime of the swift conviction aud sentence of the mur derer of Mr. Noe a iu nlh ago, crime w.n on the dva nee in this city. Since, it has fallen off, as if that righteous death sen tence had palsied the hand of violence. I propose, in future letters, to give some account of the dangerous classes of this city, their ways of acting and living, ia rlmlini? ome curious facts, the result of my own observations, it seems a queer sort of thing that a man should carry on burglary as a trade during a long life and die at last acefully in his bed, and yet scores of rascals do it, and many of them are well known to the authorities, and art and have a sort of social status of their own in which they rank as a sort of heroes and good fellows. SAILORS AFLOAT AND ASHORE "There's a sweet little cherub that sits up aloft, To keep watch for the life of poor Jack So runs the stout old English sea song ol Thomas Dibden, but surely that attitudi- nous watcher is sadly remiss of his duties. for the records show that l,o00 sailors an nually lose their lives by falling from masts aud spars of ships at sea. Think ye well housed landsmen, of coing aloft in the darkness of a winter Btorm far out at sea up shrouds, and aloug rigging and spars slippery with ice, when to miss a grasp ol a frozen rope, or a false step, is certain death. Very few persons know much or care much about the sailor. His life is the life of a dog ; no slave was ever the victim of such wrong as he eudures. His life lies so apart from that of ordinary hu inanity, that the advance of civilization hardly iucludcs him ; he is left iu a condi tion of barbarism, kt me try to convey to your readers, some notion of the way he is treated in this city, one of the great sea ports of the world, it being the same every where. Imagine a sailor just lauded fmni a voyage. Suppose him to have been a sailor for twenty-five years, and to be forty years old. He has got his wages in his pocket, he knows no such word as home or family, he has not a friend in the world, the strict discipline and narrow life on ship have so degraded and imbruted him that he has almost lost the gift os speech, and only retains a few terms of the sea. He has only one notion of enjoyment, and that is of the lowest forms of animalism. The land sharks arc waiting for him aud al though he has Ik en devoured by them a thousand times in all the ports of the world he rushes into their jaw again. He is led unresistingly into one of the many vile dens in Water or a similar street, plied with poisoned liquor until he is out of his ruiud; handed over to a wretched female compan- ion, whose business it is to see thai he does not leave the piemises, nor allowed to get sober. Then, when his money is all spent and it lakes only a few days to do it aud a bill run up equal to his advance wages, the proprietor of the devil's hole where he is wallowing ships, him through an agent on any vessel about to sail for vessels are always short of men, and all sorts of infamous tricks are put into use lo get them aud jack comes to his senses some morning to find himself in the fore castle of an outward bound ship, which is being towed down the bay, and out through the narrows where she is cast off by the tug-boat, and must hoist sail and away. He has no knowledge of how he got there. He was dragged on board drunk. He was drunk when he signed his name, or. made his mark, to the ship's papers ; drunk when he signed an order for his landlord to ob tain his advance pay, and is now. slowly and stupidly coining to consciousness. The first mate now enters the forcastle. He is armed with brass knuckles or a mar-lin-spike. The second mate is with him, also armed, and so is the steward and per haps the captain. Then ensues a scene the like of which is hardly seen now that the horrors of the slave ship has been abolished by indignant Christendom. These poor drunken sailors, stupified, and helpless from there long debauch, are driven aloft with horrible curses and blows, and actually compelled to do their duty by main force. The voyage made, they leave the ship to go through the same experience again, and over and over. Until swallowed up by the sea. This is no fancy sketch or exceptional case ; this is the life tho sailor is used to ; indeed, he knows no other, and, apparently desires no other. Once in a while 6ome horrible !ase of brutality ou the part of a sea-captain gets into the courts and the newspapers, but it is only once in a while, for no sailor would think of taking excep tion'to the-treatmeut I have described ; it is no more than the custom nf the sea. Let your son steal hogs, deal at faro, or drive horses on the towpath of the Erie canal, and do you inflict on him anything short of murder to keep him from going to sea.
