Mr. AETHrE has authorised the etatement that he is not a candidate for the New York Senatorship. Wist Virginia having abolished the October election, Ohio is now the only State that will hereafter bold her elections during that month. In Illinois the Legislature is bow a tie,which portends a long struggle to elect a Senator to succeed General Logan whose term expires on the 4th of March. Mb. Blaixe, with his family, has returned to Washington, and settled down for tha winter. He will push to completion at an early day the second volume of his history. The electors of Pennsylvania met at Harrisburg on Wednesday and oast their votes for Blaine and Lo gan. What a pity the S1.000 ma jority behind them doesn't count." While most trades are languish ing just now, that of cabinet maker is enjoying a large boom. Every little coterie ef Democratic politi cians in the country is engaged in making a cabinet for Mr. Cleveland. The New York World (Dem,) in timates that 40,000 Democratic votes were cast for Mr. Blaine in that city. If this is correct, it shows the Inde pendent defection to have been much greater than was anticipated. At a meeting of the Philadelphia Republican members of the House of Representatives a resolution was adopted with but one dissenting voice among the 2S, endorsing Hon. J. D. Cameron for re-election to the United States Senate. The haste with which the Inde pendents announced "We won't take an office under Cleveland" has cre ated a loud smile all over the coun try. Every one knows that the last man of them would have time to grow blind and bald, belore they would have been asked. Thousand of workmen are being daily thrown out of employment, by the shutting down of iron and other mills all over the country. Those that are still running are reducing wages heavily or are operating on half time. There is evidently a hard winter before the laboring men. The Postmaster general recom mends and the President approves the suggestion, to rednce the rates for local letters from two to one j cent. This would be a popular movement, and it is thought that the increased amount carried, would prevent any loss of revenue from this source. According to the computation of the Revenue department, there were consumed in this country from June 18S3 to June 1SS4, fourteen gallons of beer for every man, woman and child in the United States. One million more barrels were consumed than during the previous year end ing with June 1SS3. Dakota has a population of 420, 000, enough to entitle her to two Congressmen, but unfortunately for her prospects of admission as a State, she gave a Republican major ity of 55,000 at the late election, and therefore has but a slim chance for admission to the Union while the Democrats control Congress. There has been a great deal said about the election of Cleveland and Hendricks on the 4th of last month. In fact they were not elected until Wednesday last, when the electoral colleges of the different States as sembled, and the members cast their ballots, when the Democratic candi dates were elected by a majority of 37 votes. When Pattison was inaugurated he tramped afoot through the mud and 6lush up to the Capitol. This exhibition was styled Jeffcrsoman simplicity, and apparently so pleas ed was the Democracy with it that Rbinon of Brooklyn proposes to introduce a resolution in Congress requiring President elect Cleveland to follow this illustrious example on the 4th ot March next, llua is hnmbug run mad. Congress conveued n Monday of last week for its short session, and business was commenced where it was dropped in June last As the term expires en March 3d, not much other than the routine and necessary business will be transact ed, unless, as is now threatened, the free traders push their plans for the proposed reduction of the tariff to the front. Most of the time will be consumed by the Democratic major ity in the House, preparing for distribution of the spoils after the 4 th of March. Senator Cameron last week in trodoced a resolution in the Senate, to inquire into the expediency of ex pending the surplus revenue for the revival of American shipping aad export trade, by allowing a rebate from tariff duties on foreign goods imported in American ships, and granting a premium on American crorn products, aud articles of .American manufacture exported on .Americas vessels. The proposition fs attracting attention and is accept ed a a step in the interest of Amer ican industry. Mr. Cameron will call up the resolution within a U days and will give his views in de- .tail. The Buffalo Courier, the Demo cratic organ of Mr. Cleveland's own town, has discovered that Pennsyl vania will have to stay out of the next Congress, because her members were elected under the old appor tionment. -How the old mossbacks would like to, if they dared, disfran chise the old Keystone State That 81,000 Republican majority is a con stant nightmare to them. W. P. Hastings, the defeated Democratic candidate for Senator in the Indiana and Jefferson district in this State, has commenced proceed ings in the court of Indiana county to contest the election of George W. Hood, the Republican candidate.who is returned as elected by a majority of twenty-three. The contest is bas ed on alleged irregularitias of some of the election officers. Fraud is not charged. There is something pitifully amus ing in the way the organs of the for mer kickers and bolters try to evade the responsibility for the late Repub lican defeat Like the rebels during the last war, they want to be "let alone", and insist, like them, that any reference to their past action is stirring up strife within the ranks. If their truculence was equalled by their wisdom they might hope the people would agree that "by-gones should be by-gones." The business depression has had the effect of reducing the income of the State by more than half a mil lion of dollars, for the fiscal year just ended. To this falling off of receipts is to be added the cost of the extra session and other follies, which increased the expenses for the year and made our income fall short of our expenditures $1,417,000. This is a bad showing for the economical reform administration we were promised if Pattison was elected. Senator Mitchell of this State last week introduced a bill giving General Grant an annual pension of $5000. The bill is generally approv ed by Senators, but it is thought will be opposed by narrow partisans in the House. The debt the country owes its most illustrious soldier can. not be 6uanmed up in dollars and eents, but now that he is in strait ened circumstances through business misfortunes, we hope to see one in stalment of it ungrudgingly paid by the passage of thin bill. Auditor General Niles of this State has written the Commissioners of Allegheny County, concerning the appointment of Mercantile Apprais er. He should be a man, says he : "who will work for the interests of the Commonwealth and see that per sons are not improperly assessed, and who will give the advertisement to leading papers of the county, and not form the same for purposes of mi w 1 gam. inis is sound aavice, ana General Niles did not intend it for Allegheny county alone. We lay before our readers in this . a a f issue the last annual message oi President Arthur. It is a plain. simple, business-like paper, and will confirm the popular regard for its author. It is entirely free of poli tics, full of practical suggestions for future beneficial legislation, and in its spirit is admirable. We advise all our readers to give it a careful perusal, as they will obtain from it a full view of the National situation and a statement of facts which should be within the knowledge of every intelligent citizen. When the President appointed Hugh McCulloch Secretary of the Treasury, it was merely to fill a gap, caused by the transfer of Secretary Gresham to another position, and because he was familiar with the routine duties of the department which no other competent person would undertake to master, during the few remaining months of this administration. The new, but tem porary Secretary's report officiously thrusting his free trade views upon a party whose platform is diametric ally opposed to them, is simply evi dence of his obtuseness and self-sufficiency. The Pittsburgh members of the Legislature have met and unani mously agreed to support Hon. James L. Gresham, of that city for Speaker of the House, and the Phila delphia members have taken similar action, and hare also unanimously resolved to push Hon. Boycr of their citv for the same position. These two large delegations having thus assumed antagonistic posi tions, the friends of other candidates feel encouraged to push the fight for them. Col. Brown of Erie, and Hob. A. J. Colhorn of this county are deemed the most formidable of the frther candidates. Each of them has a host of warm supporters. Mr. Follkt, one of the Democrat ic members of Congress from Cin cinnati wbo was beaten for re-election by a majority of 1500 has had a commission appointed to investigate the conduct of the U. S. Marshal and his deputies at the late election. No attempt has been made to show that a single citizen was deprived of his vote by reason of the interfer ence of the marshals, and no com plaint has been made in the courts against any one of them. Apparent ly it was the full and fair vote and true count that the Marshals secur ed, and which resulted in the defeat of Mr. Follet, that is bis chief cause of grievance, and he and his fellow Democrats have evidently determin ed to prevent future like results, by repealing the law. The Federal statute under which these marshals are appointed, was specially design ed to secure a free ballot and a fair count, and to prevent bulldozing in the Southern States, and the evi dent object of the friends of the par ty that baa just succeeded to power, is to get rid of its restraint. The comments of the Democratic press on this case, and the resurrection by it of the doctrine of State right, as opposed to Federal interference with elections, clearly indicate pro posed action by the Democratic par ty, in the interest of the old bulldoz ing oligarchy of the south. Let the people be warned in time that it ia the purpose of the Democracy to shake off all Federal restraint, and drift back to the policy of that party before the war. In the investigation of the attempt of the Democrats to 6teal the Beat of Lehman, who was elected to the State Senate from one of the Chicago districts,it has been shown that sev eral days after the election, a leading Democrat had engraved an imita tion" of the head of the Republican ticket, and that from this plate spu rious tickets containing the Demo cratic candidate's name were printed, which were found in the ballot box when it was opened to be recounted by the Grand Jury. The man who engraved the plate identifies and swears to it, and the man who print ed the tickets from the plate identi fies them under oath. It has thus been proven that the tickets were printed after the election, and were placed in the box which was in the custody of a Democratic County clerk in the place of others abstract ed, and two hundred citizens, whom the tallv sheets and numbers on the ballots purport to show voted them, came forward and swore that they did not vote them, but voted the full Republican ticket. A more hein U3 crime was never attempted up on the purity of the ballot box. This fraud did not contemplate the mere stealing of the seat of a Re publican Senator, it included also the theft of the seat in the United States Senate now occupied by Gen eral Logan, for if the seat of Mr. Lehman, the Republican State Sena tor had been 6tolen, the Democrats would have had a majority in the Legislature and would have elected one of their own kidnev tj succeed General Logan. With Mr. Lehman in the seat to which he was elected the Legislature is a tie, with the ap pointing powar in the hands of a Republican Governor : if it fails to elect. Isn't this a beautiful begin ning for a party that in its National platform declared in favor of a free ballot and an honest couat? Evi dently the incoming rascals will bear watching. KPIatIT OF THE PBEMS. A hiNulMd RemlBtaeeaee. Bradford Star. It is a significant fact that the first thing the Democratic President will have to consider wilf be the question of disposing of a large Treasury surplus. When his party went out oi power it left no Treas ury surplus for the incoming Re publican President to think about It left nothing, in fact, that it could carry off. Greenville (S. C.) New. Cleveland is elected President The long night is over. The day has come. The war is over. The reign of the carpetbagger and the scallawag, of the white traitor and the black striker is over forever and forever! The white man's country is going to be ruled by white men, and the South is going to have a boom like that of California in 1849. Yell ! The Wilmington Star, the lead ing Democratic paper of North Carolina, comes to the defense of Jefferson Davis. It says: "Old Te cumseh lied most foully upon Gen eral Wade Hampton, burned Atlan ta and Columbia like the vandal that he is, and he will lie again up on provocation. Mr. Davis is a gen tleman aqd does not know how to lie." They begin to feel their oats down in North Carolina. The Omaha Herald says: "The first thing the Democrats under the lead of President Cleveland ought to do ia to repeal the Federal election law which authorizes the invasion of States by hirelings call ed United States marshals to awe the people at the ballot boxes. The Democratic party will wipe this vic ious and villainous statute out as the most dangerous law in exist ence, so far as the right of the people to free elections is concerned." One reading Democratic papers would suppose the United States was the uncle to the Czar of Russia instead of General Uncle Sam. A United States man, who holds so contempt ible an opinion of his country, should pack his traps and leave. The talk about the "invasion of States by MrolinfTa rillul lnitjH Stntpa mar shals'' is. to say the least, not the"! talk of a patriot. Democrats, how ever, desire to renew their old "State-right" doctrine, and set it up bv the side of "free trade," their only liv'ng issue. lt them do it Uncle Sam 8 bovs will attend to (them. Johnstown Tribune. The article published elsewhere in to-day's Tribune from the N. Y. Tribune, in which it commends the action of the New Haven Republi cans in not permitting the Inde pendents to take part in the nomi nation of candidates tor city offices, is a remarkable flop on the part of that paper. If the Republicans who supported Grant in 1872, and rolger and Beaver m 1882, had kicked out all who voted against the regular Republican nominees, there would be no Republican New York Tribune, and no Whitelaw Reid to lay down rules for the governance of the Republican party in the year of grace 1884. It was right, in the estimation of that paper, for Greeley, bumner, fcchnrz, Lortia, etal., to kick against the regular organization in 1872, and for Stewart, Wolfe, Wayne, et al- in 1882 in Pennsvl vania, and Reid, Curtis, Robinson, et al., to kick against Folger in New lork in 1852, because the organiza tion was in the bands of men the Half-Breeds didn't approve of, but it is very sinful to kiek against an organization that the Half-breeds do approve of. It may be well to remember that organization and harmonv are as necessary to Dolitl cal as to business success, and that wnat is injurious to a party at one ; time is not likely to be beneficial at another time.

A terrific wind and rain storm passed over Western Pennsylvania this eve ning, and, although it lasted but a short time, great damage was done to property. In this city telegraph wires, swinging signs, chimneys, etc were blown down. One sign four feet wide and covering the entire top of a business house on Seventh ave nue was carried away, falling on a woman named Pfaff and her two children Willie, aged 6, and Gertie 3 years old. The boy was killed in stantly, and the mother and the lit tle girl were seriously, but, it is thought, not fatally injured. There were rumors of accidents in other parts of the city and in Allegheny, but nothing definite has yet been re ceived. At Greensbnrg, Westmore land county, the roof of the Court House was carried off, but no one was injured. The wires are down in all directions and the telegraph companies experience great difficul ty in handling business. New York, December 6. A storm almost equalling a hurricane passed over the city tonight, lasting from 9 o'clock until midnight Trees were blown down in the parks, signs were lifted from their fastenings in many places, chimneys were toppled over and several glass show-cases were demolished.

Rogge, of No. 114 East-st, Allegheny, as she went to his room about 8 a. m. to-day. The dead body of her father was hang ing by a rope attached to a staple in the ceiling, lie was suspended lm mediately over the bed. Rcgge was fifty-five years old, with a wife and five children, and had been in bed some time with a broken leg. A staple was driven into the ceiling .tbove him, with a rope attached to it. This rope he used to assist him in moving around in bed, and in getting np. He had pulled himself to an upright position, made a noose on the end of the rope, placed it around his neck and slowly stran gled to death.

A Desperate Bear Fight. Huntingdon, Pa., Dec. 3. Mord. McAlevy.cnief clerk in the Postoffice of this city, and James, Joseph and William. Ross, three of the most noted bear hunter in this section of the State, had a terrible w.jount er with a large she hear on N onday afternoon in Diamond Valley, this county, during which Joseph and William Ross received injuries which will probably prove fatal. The bear was brought to bay in a dense thicket of laurel by the hounds which accompanied the party, and William, the youngest of the broth ers, who is only 16 years old, volun teered to creep in and drive bruin out The lad had gone but a short distance, when the infuriated bear attacked him, planting her fore-feet on his breast and tearing the flesh from his neck and arms. He had only a navy revolver with him, which proved a harmless weapon. Summoned by the cries of his brother for assistance, Joseph hast ened to the scene of the bloody en counter, when the : bear left her prostrate victim and directed her attention to Joseph. He emptied the contents of his rifle into the bear's head, which had but little effect. The bear caught the young man around the body and with a powerful hug almost crushed the breath from him and broke two of his ribs. Mr. McAlevy, coming up at the critical moment planted two balls in the bear's heart, killing it instantly. The injured men were removed to a neighboring farm house, where they are lying in a precarious condition. More Bad News. Pittsburgh, December 4. The new mill of Zug & Co. closed down last night until after the holidays. To-day the employees of the old mill were notified that work would be suspended this evening. The reason assigned for the short notice given for the sudden stop was the scarcity of orders. About 1200 men are thus thrown out of employment for a month. The guide and sheet iron depart ments of Singer, Nimick & Co.'a mill, employing about 100 men, clos ed down last night indefinitely. The piece workers in the Key stone Bridge Company were notified to-day that their wages will be re duced on January 1 15 per cent.
