IVECIIABLES DICKENS.
Oh God, who by Thy Prophet's hand
Dldst smite the rocky brake,
Whence Water came at Thy command,
Thy people's thirst to slake :
Strike now upon this granite wall,
Stern, obdurate, and high ;
And let some drops of pity fall
For us who starve and die!
The God who took n little child
And set him In the midst,
And promised him Ills mercy mild,
As, by Thy Son, Thou didst ;
Look down upon our children dear,
So gaunt, so cold, so spare,
And let their images appear
Where Lords and Gentry are!
Oh God, teach them to feel bow we,
When mfr poor infants droop,
Are weakener, In our trust In Thee,
And how our spirits stoop:
For, in Thy rent, so bright aid Nlr,
All tears and sorrows sleep ;
And their young looks, so full of care,
Would make Thine angels weep !
The God, who Ntith Ills auger drew
The Judgment coming on,
Write for these men, what must ensue,
Ere many yearn be gone!
Oh God, whose bow Is
„in the sky,
Let them not brave tend dare,
Until they look (too late) on high
And see an Arrow Oleic !
Oh God, remind them! In the bread
They break upon the knee,
These tamed words miry yet be read,
"In memory of Me!' ;
Oh God, remind them of Ills sweet
Compassion for the poor,
And how Ile gave them Bread to eat,
And went from door to door.
MINORITY REPRESENTATION,
The Philadelphia Inquirer says Mr. Buclut
lew's grand plan of cumulative voting, which
made, the ballot something like a revolver,
giving to each citizen a certain number of
votes which he could lire off so as to injure
several opposition candidates, or plump them
[Ain such a way as to benefit one of his own
friends, was intended to soften the griefs
which are incident to the political doctrine
that the majority must rule. But Mr. Melia
law's grievances all originate from the fact
that, when one political party is in the major
ity another political party must be in the mi•
nority and be totally deprived thereby of all
influence. Thus argues Mr. Buckalew :—lf
the Republican party has in the aggregate in
Pennsylvania 280,000 votes, and the Demo.
cratic party 249,909 votes, the preponderance
of a single vote gives to the greater number
the entire power, and places the minority as
fully beyond influence to: in thoy wr‘c r. mem
handful. Ilis idea is that this difficulty and
injustice may be got over by the scattering
shut system of cumulative voting according to
his plan. o long ns these complaints were
merely those of a defeated party struggling
against their own doctrine, so frequently put
into execution in days of triumph, "that to
the victor belongs the spoils," there Was 110
particular sympathy with them.
But here comes a new and unexpected ac
cession to the ranks of those who protest that
minorities have sonic rights which even ma•
jorities should regard. A party which holds
the National Government, Executive and
Legislttive ; which holds the State Govern
ment, with the Executive and Legislative au
thority, nevertheless distracted by assertions
of voters belonging to Gait party that they
have been unjustly treated. The doctrine that
the majority must rule has been carried to the
great extent of declaring in effect, as it has
been in Pennsylvania for some years past, the
majority of the majority must rule, and the
minorityutthenutjority have no rights which
the majority of the majority weed recognize.
The protest of the representatives in the Re
publican State Committee who belong to the
minority counties declare that although they
belong to the party which secured to the
Union a Republican Administration, and to
the State a Republican Admisistration, neither
of which could have been triumphant
without their votes, they are as far removed
from the reception of thanks or recognition of
their services as if they had been bitter ene
mies of the Republican party. If, idconse
quence of being in the minority In the coun
ties in which they live, they are unable to elect
Representatives in the State Legislature or
Congress, they say they are treated most
shabbily by their co-partners who have the ma.
jority,and who might secure them some favors.
They get nothing from the ,Legislature and
nothing from Congress. Measures of local
importance to them, which the members from
their district elected by the oppOsition are op
posed to, are denied them by the majority of
their own party. In Congress the Federal
attires belonging to their counties or district
are disposed of without any .reference to their
desires and iu such manner as best suits the
selfish purposes nf United States Senators.
They are not consulted or considered in any
thing. They have the double opposition of
their political enemies and of their political
friends who are in the majority, so that their
grievances are intolerable and no longer to be
borne. It was Josolved that a convention
should be held in pleading, on Wednesday
31st, to cnsider this subject. The Relmbli
cans In the middle counties say they number
one hundred and twenty-live thousand void s.
who have always been relied upon for party
purposes, and they ask Whether the injustice
with which they have been treated is to be
continued. The subject of minority repre
sentation has engaged attention in various
parts of the country.' Undoubtedly there is
great tyranny on the part of majorities in our
•present system and it would be much better
for the general interests it fair representatioes
were insured for minority voters. flow this
is to be done is the great problem or the day,
and if the 'Reading Convention suceeeds in
making it plain it will do a great thing.
The Mauch Chunk Coat Gazette says :—We
give below the views or a gentleman well
versed in the matter of Minority Representa
tion. llis communication is timely and no
doubt will be read with gfeat inte rest :
This subject:is now attracting I n considera
ble attention throughout the country and by
a move male recentlyin Pennsylvania it will
be a prominent subject for consideration by
the people of this great Commonwealth.
What does it mean ? is a questiim that Is
frequently asked, and will be asked by tile
readers or your paper. I will try and tell
what it means, and give an answer to the
question: I fear, however, that I Audi only
be able to give you and your readers, a super
ficial view of It, as it is a great principle and if
once inaugurated and properly carried out it
will permeate thb,whole political system, ex
pel corruption, and bring health to the body
politic, hence I feel that I can give but a faint
description of it.
The object Is to alter our organic law, so as
to have a representation of the minority, Hs
well as the majority, In all of our departments
of Government. We will take the odic° of
County Ctlnunissioner as 110 W chosen in the
County of no Republican can ever know
what is being done with tile . people's money.
In the County of Lancaster no Democrat can
ever have a voice in the management of
County affairs, and human nature is human
nature whether It be Republican or Democrat,
and when It is not watched Its tendency, to
say the, least of it, is not towards' purity-, and
soon becomes a close corporation with Its
secrets the public can never know, but If Cie
political complexion can be judiciously and
fairly mixed, there will be every motive to
conduct matters that are for the interest of the
tax payers properly. I believe every fair
minded man will agree that It will be well to
have it so arranged. Next is how shall it bo
Consummated ? There are two ways to do
it, one is to allow, when two persons are
to be elected, each elector to vote for but
one; that would secure minority representa
tion. Thp objection to that mode however is
that it malice the minority equal to the ma
jority, which is hardly proper or fair in our
democratic system of Government.
" Cumufative Voting' . is the other plan,
which is as follows : elect three County Com
missioners and allow each voter to vote for
each of three persons or cast his whole three
votes for one man. In Carbon County where
the Democrats have a majority, the Republi
cans would all vote their three votes for one
man, and the Democrats would concentrate
on two, which would surely give one Repub
lican and two Democratic Commissioners.
The majority would still control the affairs of
the County, while the minority Ivould be re.
presented, and there would be a watchful su
pervision of the people's money, ns both par
ties would be equally informed by its repre
sentative of the management of its affairs. -
It wit! he necessary to call a State Con
vention to alter the Constitution to con
foim to this view of the case. Illinois has
adopted it in her new Constitution, and I
hope that Pennsylvania will be the first to fol
low.
This is not a ,arty question in any sense, it
is n great principle that all me interested in,
and all should take hold of and help it along,
be.they Democrats in Berks, or Republicans
in Lancaster. I hope and trust Majority, as
well as Minority Counties, will come up to
the good work and lIRSIWC 6ts confirmation.
The Reading Times and Dispatch says : The
editor of Harper's Weekly, whose opinions
upon almost every question are worth re-pub
lleation, discourses upon the subject .of Mi
nority Representation us follows, referring
more particularly to the constitutional amend
ment about to be effected in Illinois:
"This is a system which secures drepresen
tation of the minority. Each Senatorial dis
trict in the State Is to send three members to
the Lower House, and every voter may cast
his three votes at his pleasure. Be may give
one vote to each of the three candidates, or he
may give one to one candidate and two to an
other, or he racy give all three to one. If the
minority in the district is divided, it will, of
course,concentrate all its votes upon one can.
(Miele, and so secure a representative. lithe
district be evenly divided, it is not so easy to
foresee the result. Both parties would then
noininate.an entire ticket, and there would be
the same trading that there is now. But each
party would certainly be likely to put forward
the best man."
There are doubts whether the plan 01:cumu
lative voting will answer ill practise—and the
test in Illinois will be looked to with Interest.
We believe that the country is fast hastening
to it more practical measure of reform—based
upon more liberal and less partisan views
among the people. Party prejudices are not
ns strong ns they were ; and are every year
becoming weaker and weaker. In a few years
more public opinion will probably settle down
to the common sense view of electing officers.
Presidents and Governors—Congressmen and
State Levistutors will be chosen on party
grounds, ns usual, because•contending princi
ples are involved in their election—but for all
local and municipal officers, wtwre political
principles are not involved, the politics of the
candidates will be Ignored by the voters, and
the best men will be chosen. What does it
matter, for example, whether the municipal
officers or a city—or the county officers of a
county, are Democrats or Republicans, so that
they are honest, and faithful in the perform
ance or their duties ? It would be much bet
ter if these officers had no party to back them,
for them we should have 110 " Court House
Rings," " Prison Rings," " Poor lions°
Rings," " Council Rings," " Police Rings,"
or "Rings" °fatty sort—because these "Rings"
can only exist under political backing.
We believe that before many years some
such reform will be inaugurated. As things
arc now managed by our county and city of
ficials, the sooner it is adopted in Berks the
better. When the tyranny of party is crushed
the people will be free to choose their officers
on the sole ground of worth and merit.
Last week we published the call of the com
mittee for the State Convention, to be held at
Reading, the tilst of the preser t mouth. To
day we insert the address to the Republicans
or Pennsylvania, issued by the chairman of
the committee, in accordance with a resolution
adopted at the recent meeting of the State
Central Committee.
The address deserves the careful attention
()revery voter. The objects of the convention
are such es commend themselves not alone to
Republicans, but citizens at large, whatever
parties they may be attached to. It is amove
ment forward, and towards its progress all
should lend their assistance. The old system
of legislation and representation have been
made subservient to the basest ends. The
peopfe have become disgusted with it and
look anxiously for a change which shall insure
honest legislation. The present movement
contemplates this change. It 'oust be Inau
gurated by the imperative demand of the peo
ple before ninny years, and there is no time
less objectionable than the present. In every
movement there is strength in harmonious and
combined action. Let the utmost unity and
harmony prevail in the coming convention.
lATiCbe understood that we do not intend to
tear down, but to remodel and build upon a
firmer foundation the broad and free princi
ples of our government. —.Bloomsburg Repub
lican.
From the Yor•6 True, Demorrat.
A cull has been issued tor, a convention to
be held nt Heading, on August flat, of ,all
those who favor minority representation, in
our legislature. The address appended to this
call sets forth the fact that there are 125,000
Republicans living in Denmendie counties,
who are virtually disfranchised so fur as hav
ing any voice in the local legislation of their
counties is concerned. This is true ; and it
is equally true that the'democrats in republi
can counties are in precisely the sane condi
tion. How this stubborn fact Is to be made to
disappear, under the influence of a minority
representation Is not so clear. 1,.:t us see
how this principle would work when applied
to our county. We have, about 0000 demo
cratic votes to 6000 republican. Now shall
the 0000 rule the 6000, or shall the 6000 rule
the 0000, or shall each side be accorded a
member? lf the members comprised a repre•
sentative.of each party there would never be
any agreement on political quesßons, and no
acts of a political nature could possibly pass.
If this principle were applied to the. whole
State, the parties would stand precisely as they
do now, and the party which controlled the
legislature, would do precisely as 'lt pleased.
We by no means wish to apologize for and up
hold the present pernicious'systetn of legisla
tine. It is vsrtatally, one of despotism. By
ail agreement among the members, each' one
is the sovereign of his district, and it Is next to
impossible to defeat any measure, proposed
by a member for his own district. .It will be
remembered what a desperate fight we had to
procure the passage of the jury law l, and to
defeat the attempt to double the rate • of taxa
tion in this borough, . The fact is, that we
need an entire change of the legislative :sys
tem. Special legislatleu should be entirely
prohibited. Much 'greater powers should be
lodged in the hands of the people. All
,ques•
tions relating to the raising of money by tax
ation for local purposes should be submitted
to a vote of the people. The courts should
have the supervision of all local acts of juror.
poration. No divorces should be granted by
the legislature. Our basis of representation
ought to be quadrupled, and the members
elected by district, as is provided in the tiit .
constitution of Illinois.
This miserable patch-work system of le2is•
lation, is calculated to defeat the dishes of
the people, and to demoralize the legislature,
and the history we make each winter at liar
risburg, is incontrovertible evidence of ibis
fact. All this needs to be changed, and we
are glad that this convention has been coiled,
for the purpose of an interchange of view, on
this question. We hope the conventicn only
be largely attended by representative &le
gates and that something may be don.• to
abolish the effete and demoralizing sy,msii
under which we now suffer.

ABour TALLER DOGS
El=
When Noah disembarked nt Ararat he had
scarcely touched the pier when he proceeded
to tally his passengers. Ile had just eltecked
his last item in the list—a Mr. and Mrs. Bed
bug—when the cringing figure of a quadruped
came sneaking down the gang plaok with his
tail between his legs. •' Drat it ! if there ?OWL
that yeller dog," says Noah, Itintin;,..; a vicious
kick with his brogan at the brute. But, with
a facility both of long and bitter experience,
the brute dodged the projectile, and ejacu
lating " Syriac for "Ae

disappeared, while Noah, who hail his sea
legs on, was unable to recover his equilibrium,
and sat down with emphasis on the back of
his head.
Noah arose, and in accordance with the
style prevalent among the patriarchs, he pro
ceeded to soothe his affronted diguity by pro
nouncing a vari:.gated anathema upon the
yaller dog, which had characteristically
sneaked unobserved on board, in the confu
sion of putting to sea, and capsiied the cap
tain at. the first port. lie cursed that dog in
body, limb; hark, hide, hair, tail and wag, and
all his generations, relations and kindred, by
consanguinity or affinity, and his heirs and
assigns; he cursed him with endless hunger,
with pe•petual fear, with perennial laziness.
with hopeless mange, with his tail beiween
his legs. lie closed his stork of maledictions
by a sparkling display of pyrotechnics, from
the demoralizing effects of which the yaller
dog has never recovered.
With this curse sticking to him like n reve
nue stump, the yaller dog can't help being
"cussed." Ile don't try to help it. Ile fol
lows Noah's programme with sneaking fidelity.
He is an Ishmaelite among dogs. Ile receives
the most oppressive courtesies, in the form of
brickbats, boots, and hot water, which makes
his life an animated target excursion. lie
hoards around like a district school teacher,
and it is meal time with Min twenty-four
hours in the day.
The rest of the time he hankers after some

would hunger,. for dessert from an Albany
boarding-house.

. too tired. As
a swifteart locomotive, a hunter, or a sentinel,
he is an ignominious failure. The dog.churn
was a strategic attempt to employ his waste
energies, but he hadn't any waste ener
gies, and butter had too much self.respect
to '• come" at his persuasion.' Bo thedu g. churn was dropped.
No sausage maker dare foreclose his lien on
the yallertlng, lest his customers—no longer
"soothed and sustained by an unfaltering
trust"—transfer their patronage to sonic less

"Louis and I went out to-day
To see the soldiers fighting ;
The halls came showering all about,
And round our Louis lighting.
I wish you'd seen how bravo he was,
Now cool and unimpressed,
He did n't mind the smell of smoke
Nor ic ed to be undressed.
Ile caught 010 bAllidB In his hand
And put then In Ills pocket,
Ile says he'll have a nice one fixed
For M ununu, In a locket.
The Prussian cannon thundered loud
And wildly surged the battle
But Louis proudly viewed the atom,
And then—called for hls rattle.
Full many a vista moustache I saw—
Half bid by bullets hying—
(.'a,t one astonished glance at Lou
And then burst out a-crying!
I lire through grass the Infection spread,
Till, 'spite the Dutchmen's pelting,
I found ten thousand grenadiers
In bitter tears were melting!

Are hardly worth repeating,
Just getout the usual talc

To destroy your enemy In the sliprtest time,
in the easiest manlier, and at the least possible
expense, is the first axiom of war. The stone
that whistled from David's sling, the bullet of
the " zundadelgewehr," and the volley of the
" machine gun" had all the same object. Since
the days of Roger Bacon the clan of all improve
ments in firearms has been to carry the great
est possible number of deaths to the greatest
possible distance. White, canister or case, and
shrapnel, all contain bullets, and are all means
for multiplying deaths. The field-gun mows
down its hundreds by showers of case at close
quarters, or at long distances rains bullets from
the bursting shrapnel. The mitraillense or
machine gun, on the contrary, sends a large
number of small projectiles independently,
r.
and with precision, to a considerable distance.
\Ve may divide arms on the latter principal
ifito two classes—first those which discharge
their bullets from a single barrel, fed by a
many chambered breach ; and, secondly, those
in which each cartridge has its corresponding
barrel, the charging and discharging of which
isdirect, 'and, more or less simple. It is ob
vious that, for rough usage and continual lir•
ie s , it is hotter that a large number of rounds
should be fired front a considerable number of
barrels so placed as to support each other anti
add strength to the whole machine. The
French Mitrailleuse as well as the Belgian
Montigny, belongs to the second class, and
the 'Aiming brief description is equally ap
plicable to both arms :—The machine gun con
sists oh, cluster of barrels, either bound togeth ,
er or bored out of the solid, and mounted on the
saute principle as an ordinary fief(' gun. At a
few hundred yards, indeed, it would be difficult -
to distinguish between these weapons, as far as
outward appearance goes. To the barrel Is at
tached a massive breach action capable of being
opened and closed by a lever. In the Mon
tigny aroi the cartridges are carried In steel
plates perforated with holes corresponding in
number and position to the holes in the bar
rel. The steel plate, in fact, forms the " vent
piece" or the . system. The central fire car
tridges being dropped into the holes in the
steel !date, stand out at right angles from it,
and the plates thus ready charged, are so car
ried In limber and axletree boxes specially
fitted for their reception. When the gun
comes into action the breech Is drawn back, a
steel plate full of cartridges is dropped Into its
corresponding slot, and the breech block
thrust forward and secured. The gun is now
on full cock, and contains from thirty to forty
cartridges, Which are 1l red by a "barrel or
gan" handle, either one by one as the handle
goes round click-clack, or in a volley by a
rapid turn of the Wrist. When the gun is
empty the breech block is again withdrawn ;
the steel plate, carrying the empty cartridge
cases lifted out, and a fresh plate dropped in
if necessary. The advantage possessed by
the machine gun over the Infantry fire is that
it is never in a funk. Bulhas may rain around
bursting shells may fill the air, still the thirty•
/WMI barrels of the :Nlitralleuse shoot like one
matt, and at 500, or 1000 yards will pour vol-
Icy idler volley of deadly concentrated fire in
to a circle of from ten to twenty feet In titan'.
ter. No boring or fixing of fuses Is necessary,
and the whole operation is performed BO
rapidly that two steady, cool men could main
tain afire or ten discharges per minute. On
the other hand the Mitrailleuse could not well
compete with the field gun, and it is with this
weapon it will assuredly be met. Its bullets
would have comparatively slight effect at the
ranges at Which field artillery projectiles are
'perhaps most effective, while its OW would
offer a very fair mark to the gunner. The
foreign press are welcome to write lanforon
quth.l about the sudden death of wretched
horses at incredible distances. This is peace
practice. 'l'll horses came front the knacker's
yard, not from the banks or the Elbe, and
there were no [ldiots sitting on them. We
are also tempted on suck occasions to lane the
square root of the'reported distance as the ac
tual range. 'l'h,, future of the Mitrailleuse,
however, depends on coining facts. The
day's experiments are over ; there are hun
drt ds of machine guns trunling loWards the
Rhine. The &nutlike roll of their volleys
may 'ere long be heard in the vineyards of
Itudesheint, or on the edge of the Black For
est ; loot the "Until" of the bullet may strike
something softer t h an a wooden target. Yes.
the machine gun is en route for the Rhine ;
the experiments will now be on a gigantic
scale ; and Mr. Cardwell may adjourn his
special committee until after Christmas, at
any' rate. By that time the voice of war will
have givist the verdict, by that time the
Clifftsepot, :Zund.nadelgewem, the shapnel,
and the volley gun will each be credited with
a ghastly account, and we shalbk tow which

1N ITIMITE OF THE REVOLUTION
Dne 01' the most thrilling reminiscences of
the annals el• the American Revolution Is re
corded of Deneral Peter Muldenberg, whose
ashes' repose in the burying ground of the old
•Trappe church, in Montgomery county, Penn
sylvania. When the war broke out, -Midden
berg was the rector of a Protestant Episcopal
Cloireh in Dunmore county, Virginia. On :a
Sunday non'hing lie administered the commu
nion la the Lord's Supper to his charge, stat
ing that in the afternoon of that day, he would
preach a sermon on " The duties men owe to
their.country." At the appointed time the
building • was crowded with listeners. The
discourse was founded upon the text from
Solomon : " There is IL time for every purpose
and tbr every work." 'Clue sermon burned
with O patriotic fire ; every sentence and in
tonation told the speaker's deep earnestness in
what he was saying. Pausing a moment at
the close of his discOtirse, he repeated the
words of his text, and in words of thunder ez
claiuu•d : " The time to preach ispast ; the time
to fight has come!" and ,suiting the action to
his word, he threw front his shoulders the
Episcopal robes and stood before his congre
gation arrayed In military uniform. Drum
ming for recruits commenced on thespot, and
it Is said almost ovary male of suitable age 19
in the house enlisted forthwith.
