SLNTLXEL & REPUBLICAN MIFFLlHTOWS. UedHMdar, lrU it. Wt. B. F. SCflWEIER, There art not many tons of the California wheat crop of 1877 left in that State. The crop has been ex ported. The Awth .American wisely pnts it in this way : Republicans who talk of fitting' the Administration thfo fall might as well reflect a little while: long enough to consider whether the Democrats are not sufficiently strong and numerous to engage their whole attention. "Prefering an ex-rebel General for doorkeeper of the House to General James Shields, a gallant soldier of the Mexican war, and of the war to put down rebellion, is the be6t evi dence we have yet had of the hoM which the South has on the Demo cratic party. Gen. Shields served in the Illinois Legislature, on the Su preme Bench of that State, was Com missioner of the United States Land Office, a United States Senator and Governor of Oregon but he also served as a soldier against the rebel- lion, which rendered him unfit for Democratic support for an office, when an ex-rebel wad a candidate for the same pltvce. Hence, Gen. Shields could not be elected doorkeeper of the House." The Lower House of Congress elected a new doorkeeper. The can didates were General Shields Dem ocrat, and General Fields, Confeder ate General. The Northern Demo crats joined with the Southern Dem ocrats, and in preference to the Union oldier Shields, voted for the Confed erate soldier Fields. There were about 14 crippled Union soldiers in different offices in the House, when the Southern Democracy got into power in that branch of the govern ment. They have all been removed. The most remarkable appearance of the case is that no Northern Demo crats are appointed to the places made vacant. The only warriors thus far that have been put in are Confederates. The ruling Confeder ates cannot well tolerate a war Dem ocrats. Id addition to demands for very many millions of dollars in compensa tion of private losses during the rebel lion, tSia southern States are before Congress with bills requiring $200, 000,000 more for internal improve ments. In three month these ends ad ded $42,000,000 to their 6rst demand. The; await action now under a belief that so soon as the Senate bas fallen into Democratic control as the House has done, all of these claims can be called np with an absolnte assurance of sufficient support to secure their passage. These are presented knowing the objection the north bas to being taxed fur any such purpose, and when for this cause the claims are likely to have been selected, reduced in number and guarded in character. If they pass and so far as thej pass, tbey impose new changes on the nation, and this at the very time when an extreme effort is being made to prevent the coantry from pacing its confessed obligations by de stroying iu revenues and credit. JTortk lnuriciil. In Legislative chambers efforts are often made to prevent men from ex pressing themselves to tieir satisfac tion, men are often checked in argu ment, by interruptions by fellow mem bers. Oftimes courtesy as between members is forgotten or spurneu aside. But it may be placed to the credit of Congressman Clymer, of Pennsylvania, that he passed beyond ine rxrauus oi counesj lue uw.bi day in Congress to silence Congress man Butler. Mr. Butler, Ben But ler, was speaking on the question of appointing a doorkeeper., Mr. Cly mer asked Butler to give way a 6hort time to him, so that a substitute might be offered. Mr. Butler is a man who takes interruptions easily, in this case he yielded to Clymor. Not Butler-like, but beast-like, just as soon as Clymer got the indulgence he turned on Butler and moved the prtvio:t question with the object of stopping Butler entirely. It was not thought that Clymer waa capable of such dirty work, however, the Speak er of the House ruled him out of or der, and secured Butler in his rights' What an unfair man Mr. Clymer is. Wm. M. Tweed died in Ludlow street j-iil at 12 o'clock on Friday, he was aged about 55 years. His last words were "Tilden and Fairchilds have killed me, I hope they are satis fied." He was known ae the chief of a ring that got control of the city of New York and engaged in extrava gant improvements on public build ings and streets, to make money on the contracts, they made money, and bankrupted the city, and that is the sum of Tweed's offending. Ninety per cent, of the private business of the country is as bad as was Tweed b psblic bObiness. Tweed s public misdeeds brought their own penalty. The pirate misdeeds of men are sending men to prison every day. Wealth and distinction acquired in crooked ways newer stay, the punish ment always corse, sooner or later, and a cup of sbanre and disgrace it fdways is- S8 The Metric System of Mr. Stev ens, is Amended by tk New" fork Wet-Id. A diplomatic gentleman isl Mr. Stevens of Georgia. He was Union, and anti-union whed it suited, and now he is in Congress-, a strong ad vocate of the lately revived doctrine of local State government, but Mr. Stevens is not only a diplomatist, he is an erudite gentleman, nothing seems to escape his mental investi gation. Since he has been returned to Congress he has been devoting some attention to the jways of busi ness and science. His investigations have brought him to conclude that the system of measure now in use is not a proper system, the defects have weighed heavily on his mind, to re lieve himself, and to relieve the coun try from the inconvenience of the old system, he formulated the following and offered it in Congress in a bill on the 29th day of March, 1678 : Measures of Length 100 hairs make a nail, 100 nails make a metre, 1,000 metres make a kite. Measures of Surface 10,000 square metres make a great acre. Measures of Bulk atid Ccpacity 100 drops make a spoon, 100 spoons make a quart, 100 quarts make a cask. Measures of Weight 100 seeds make a corn, 100 corns make a nut, 100 nuts make a bi-pound or bip, 1,000 bips make a ton. When the dispatch from Washing ton relative to the system proposed by Mr. Stevens, reached the office of the New York World, it created a profound impression, so profound indeed was the impression, that the Editor in chief deemed the Bubject a fit one to draw an amendnet on, which he did. The amendment of the Ed itor reads : iujlserk or srxx. 10 hunks make 1 gob. 10 gobs make 1 chunk (or dekagob). 10 chunks make 1 heap. SBOBT AND LO.VO M EAST RE. 10 steps make 1 hopskipanjump. 10 hopskipanjumps make 1 piece. 10 pieces make 1 right smart go-by. WET MEASCBE. 10 swallows make 1 drink. 10 drinks make 1 spree. 10 sprees make 1 triangle (or jims). DRV atEaSTBE. 10 nibbles, make 1 bite. 10 bites make 1 square meal. As a matter of course, as Mr. Ste vens and the Editor of the New York World are good Democrats, all good Democrats will have to say amtn to the bill proper or amen to the amend ment Through tuaits for cities, but gite people in the Juniata Valley mils on war trains. . Secretary Sherman is getting his gold bags ready, so as to be able to "resume gold"' payments at the be ginning of the year 1879, as provid ed by act of Congress.

The General in re ferfibg to tbe acoident, did hot state what speeies the dog belonged to, but it is said by bis friends to have been a mastiff. -The dog strayed away one day and was not seen for setersl days, tbe family feeling tbe deepest regret A large reward was offered fur bis re covef V and be was finally brought back and the reward paid. Tbe dog did net manifest, however, his usual pleasure at seeing bis mistress, but sulked iu the fire place. The lady then went to biui and while she was caresring him be jumped at her in a savage manner nd bit ber ou the cheek. She scream ed aud the husband came to her assis tance, when the dog flew at him, biting biiu on the arm. The husband then discovered tbat the dog was mad, and be immediately cauterized bis wife's cheek with a red hot poker and scored bis own arm in the same way. A phy sician Was at once summoned,and while be could not accurately determine whether the dog bad tabids, be said tbe Cauterizing was the best thing that could be dons. Tbe dog subsequently died. Gen. and Mrs. Beale have been living in Washington for several years past. He ownes a handsome home here, besides a country place a few miles from town. He also bas a residence in Chester, Pa, and an immense ranch in California. He had just returned from the latter when he received the startling news.
