Vu;:x Secretary Windom began his experiment of funding the out standing National debt at three and a half per cent., the Democratic pa pers all raised a howl that he was doing an unlawful thing and besides he wouldn't be aide io do it, but the whole thing would lie a farce. Now that the whole scheme proved a grand success, they are abusing him !ecause he didn't fund the debt at three per cent The Hon. Emory Speer, of Geor gia, whose independent and manly course 3u the last Congress not only won the respect of his colleagues, but secured liis return to the IIoue of lh prrscntalivcs by an increased mnjority, is reported to have an nounced his intention to act with the Republicans in the next Con gress. Mr. Specr is a voung man of marked ability, and a protege of the Hon. Alexander H. Stephens. The Charleston papers arc very proud of an election that has been held in South Carolina without the murder of a colored man or the burning of a school house. Hut it so happened that only one candi date, and he a Democrat, was run ning, so there was no occasion for bulldozing. The Charleston Xcics and Courier says "the election was managed with a fairness that would j nt the Republican managers in the North and West to blush." The late C..ar of Russia appears to have been very well aware of the volcanic condition of his empire, and to have had no confidence what ever in the safety of his government The best proof of this is that when he died he had on deposit at the banks of Rcrlin $30,000,000, and in the banks of London $25,000,000. Yet, while he had thus enriched himself, the Russian finances were in a deplorable condition, and the country obliged to depend upon the irredeemable paper currency, with out a metallic basis.

The Prohibitionist of Mercer c aunty have placed a full ticket in the field, right in the face of the fact that the Republicans of that county are earnest advocates of prohibi tion, the three Republican members from Mercer in the present Legisla ture all voting for the constitutional amendment and against all liqnor legislation as did also the State Sen ator from the Mercer-Lawrence dis trict The natural effect of an iiide pendentent ticket is to weaken that of the party that has advocated their measures.

Cash is tho name of a j Southern gentleman who a short time ago killed his man in a duel over an affair of " honah' Natural ly and properly he was tried lor murder, and it is dil:;eult to see upon what grounds his defence could have been conducted. Ihe killing was willul, deliberate, with malice aforethought, and not in self defence, and it therefore Answered to the lc-j-al definition of the crime of murder. Hut Colonel Cash has been acquitted all the same, which shows in what light estimation human life is held among the Southern people. It is impossible to imagine an ae ouitlal being agreed upon by any jury in this State under similar cir cumstances. The best writers of the European press are noting our proactive tariff as one cause of the large prosperity of the United States. The condition of the .'-aiglish and l'Y.nch manu facturers is not enviable, and some" of tho most sagacious are contem plating a removal of both machinery and skilled workmen to the United States. A large manufacturer has recently been in Chicago and select ed the site for an extensive factory, and at no distant date the hum of British spindles will be heard upon our prairies. Here is fvhero the goods are wanted ; the wool is here, and nothing is lacking to make the United States the greatest manufac turing countrv upon the tdohe. An.

It provides that the prothonotarv of each county in toe Stale shall vide a book to be known as "medical register,"' and shall 1 the set apart one fall page for the registra tion of each medical practitioner in the county. Every person who practices medicine or surgery must present t the prothonotary his di ploma, for record, and the prothono tary must then enter his name, place of birth, residence, oca, on the rec ord, and place a copy of the diploma on file in the ofiice for public in spection. Other sections of the bill make provision for cases where the diploma has been lost, and for per sons who have been continuously practicing for ten years without hav ing a diploma. As the law is quite lengthy and elaborate, this abstract of its eon tents is necessarily incomplete, but co lies of ihe complete act can be had, no doubt, by the prothonolaries of the several counties, whose addi tional duties began under it, several days ago. The penalty for a practi tioner omitting to register his diplo ma, etc., or for otherwise violating or neglecting to comply with any pro vision of the act, is a fine of ?100, one-half of which goes to the prose cutor, or an imprisonment not ex ceeding one J'car, or both, at the discretion of the court.

Under a microscope, the words "Masons," " Liar," " Pris on," Kill," and the full name of " Henry Brown," were plainly visi ble. A thorough examination of the burned suspension bridge, at Pitts burgh, has been made by engineers. The cables are found to be uninjur ed, but tho wood work will have to be entirely replaced from one end to the other. A considerable portion of the smaller iron rods and braces and the stone work of the piers, will have to be replaced. The repairs will occupy several weeks, but the work will be so arranged that the footways will be kept open. The loss from the fire is estimated at from $3-5,000 to $10:Ou. Jons IIaxks, an old Illinois far mer, who was a friend of Abraham Lincoln in his youth, tells the fol lowing story : "I was well acquaint- f d with his wife, Mary Todd, before he married her, but never knew there was an engagement between them until about two weeks bef re the marriage took place.

On Sunday morning while a gentleman was crossing a field near Mill creek station, a half-famished dog approached him, barking as if to attract his attention. The dog acted so singularly that the man resolved to follow him into an adjoining woods, where the poor animal was evidently trying to lead him. They had not proceeded far when the poor animal took his po sition beside the dead body of a man who had evidently been there for several days. The top of the head was blown off, and an empty gun lying across the body told the story of another sad ending of a disap pointed life, with no earthly friend nar but his faithful dog, who had guarded his body regardless of the pangs of hunger until he was suc cessful in finding some one to re lieve him from hLj lonely grave.

The clerks in the pension office are in a tremor of fear lest they should be removed after Marshal Dudley takes charge of the ofiice. It is announc ed that by and with the approval of the President, Mr. Dudley is to fill all the clerkships with ex-Union soldiers, there are a great many men of this class now employed in the ofiice, but a majority of the clerks there never did military ser vice. There is a general feeling that the ex-soldiers should be recognized just as much as possible in the dis tribution of patronage, but there are many who think it rather hard to remove a capable clerk simply be cause he has the misfortune not to have been born early enough to fight in the war of the rebellion. Accident in Garfield's Family. Ci.evei.axd. June 22. Shortly after 3 o'clock this afternoon an east-bound train o:i the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio Railroad, when about twelve miles from this city, struck a buggy in which were riding Thomas Garfield, uncle of President Garfield, and Mrs. Alonzo Arnold, sister of Dr. Roynton and j cousin of the Prctident. lhoma Garfield was instantly killed, and Mrs. Arnold's skull was so badly fractured tnat her life is despaired of.

The Di rector of the mint has sent two ex perts to New York to count the bullion in the assay ofiice.

It will require nearly two weeks for these experts to weigh the bullion in New York alone. A. Labor Riot." IxniAXAicias, Ind., June 25.

Thco iloio Fiitz, a German laborer, lives with his tvifu and four children in a miserable frame tenement in the rear of No 30i) Drown street Yes terday the husband went to his dai ly work, as usual, and at 10 o'clock tho mother went out io gather a basketful of coal, taking her oldest son, a L v, with her, and leaving two little girls, aged 5 and 3 years, respectively, in the lower rooms, anu her infant, 5 weeks old lying on tho bed in the upper room. Not long after the departure of Mrs. Fritz the residents of live similar tcnents clustered near heard the wailing of the infant One who knew of the mother's absence climl ed the rickety stairs, only to find the door securely locked. Mrs Fritz, after an absence of two hours, returned, lugging a bushel basket heaped full of coal. The neighbors told her of the screams of the child, and the mother dropped her bur den and hastened up stairs. A mo ment later the residents were horri fied by the shrieks of the mother and following to the barn-like attic, they found her pacing wildly across the floor, and clasping the mutilated and bleeding mlant to her ureas; so tight as to almost strangle what little life was left in it. Pointing to the bed where the child had lain, the visitors saw blood mark plentiful enough to have accounted for the murder of an adult Lay ing the child again upon the bloody coverlet, the wounds were disclosed to view. Only a ghastly noJe re mained of what had been its face, from between the eyes to the upper lip. The rrrht oar was gone. Nu merous gashes on tho arms g lent testimony to a struggle witn the destroyer before pain and los of blood had too far weakened the poor little sufferer. This, however, had ceased before tne work of mu tilation was finished, as was shown by another spot as large as a dollar on the ehnd s arm, from winch the flesh had been gnawed to the bone. The child was then almost in the death struggle, but the willing neighbors summoned a physician, who promptly afforded the little pal liation possible in such an extreme case. An hour after the mother's return the child died. The mother who up to the death of the child had been too heart-stricken to af ford any information, then was able to say that when she entered the room, she saw a lanrc rat jump oil' the bed and make its escape through a hole in the chimney place. She saw only one, but the number of the wounds and tne quantity of tissu destroyed makes it possible, at least, that more than one of the vermin assisted in the horrible feat, Vive at Tombstone .ti-i Sax Fhaxcisco, June 23.

Seventeen hundred barrels of whiskey fed tho llames, and the light of tho fire could be cen for five miles. Three hundred fat distillery hogs lost their lives through the devastating conflagra tion. There was no insurance, ex cept on the buildings and machin ery. The loss will rcace $ 150,0! X, and is a severe blow to tho owners of the distillery. It will be at least one year before it can be rebuilt, and the loss of busine.-s during that time will be immense.

It is observed in official cir cles that Russia cannot possibly make such an exhibition of herself before tho world as to try a thousand or two political offenders, and as something must be done with all these prisoners to make room for others, the only way to dispose of them quietly and expediously is by the system of administrative depor tation which General Melikoff, the late ii mister of the interior, sought to abolish." Van of I'oMtal Cards. Wasiiixmox, Juno 23. It is es timated that during the fiscal year ending Juno 30 there will be used three hundred and twenty million postal cards, making a total for the last four years of almost jHJciscly one billion. The proposal for bids for the next four years called for two billions, and it is not unlikely that the number sold next year will amount to very nearly five hundred millions. The three hundred and twenty millions sold this year, if connected end to end, would run a girdle around the world with enough to spare to make a showy knot. these carus are ode bought in i very large quantities by business houses for r.dveussng purposes, or ders having been received for twenty, thirty and forty thousand at once; but the great bulk of them are sold singly or in smail lots for purposes of correspondence. Tho future of the postal card depends in some de gree upon the rate of letter postage. If that is dropped to two cents the sale of postil cards will be mate ria! v reduced. Stove for a iiaok.

The dis covery came too late the 'bonds were destroyed. It is said the loss cannot be made good, as tho plates from which the bonds were printed have been destroyed. Hiowaj iiien near Scranton. Scuaxtox, Pa., June 21. While driving along near Petersburg, a short distance from Scranton, early yesterday morning, a farmer named Lucy was surprised by a party of desperadoes, who endeavored to drag him from his wagon. Lucy whipped his horse, and was getting beyond their reach when they followed "him, keeping up a running fire until the 1 orse fell dead on the road riddled by their bullets. Then ti to farmer, becoming desperate, seized a hatchet that lay in his wagon and leaped out to meet the ruffians, who had ex hausted their revolvers without strik ing him.
