A Phiuidelphu paper says that Di rectors in the common schools in the city mentioned sell teachers' appoint ments. Governor Hartkasft bas signed tha dratb warrant !or tbe banging of Jack Keboe. Now wbat will the black guards, and blacklegs, and blockheads, who bave been lying about tbe Gover nor, say ! Just imagine a candidate in a dis trict whose his party has 5,500 ma jority, contesting for a seat in Con press for which he has been defeated. Diilicuit, is it not Bat this is Andy Curtin's case." People in Central Pennsylvania do not like it, that wheat and corn can be shipped from the Western States to the seaboard cheaper per hundred than from Central Pennsylvania. Such discrimination is causing a wide . spread dissatisfaction. The Democracy used to love to talk about a Solid Suuth. It was on that they counted for political gain. But now, that the indications are that there is to be a solid North, they are changing their talk. They now do not want a solid South. They see overwhelming defeat when the North becomes a solid North, and that is what they shrink from. The following is the official vote of Pennsylvania : For Governor Hoyt, 319.567 ; Dili, 237,060 ; Mason (National), 81, 763 ; L:ine (Prohibition), 3653. For Lieutenant Governor Stone, 319.002; Fertig, 295.753; Stock, 174.082 ; Shallcross, 3614. For Secrectary of Internal Affairs Dunkel 313.193; Africa, 301,034; Wright, 81,733 ; Parsons, 3657. For Judge of the Snpreme Court Sterrett, 311,012 ; Ross, 287,221 ; Agnew, 99,316. The most remarkable feature of the State campaign has been the re turns from Luzerne. Latt year Lu zerne was the banner county of the Greenbackers and the Nationals. They carried it by an appalling ma jority. It was the stronghold of Mr. Dewees' party. This year the voters of Luzerne and Lackawanna had re covered from their craze. What was the result T Hoyt had a plurality of nearly a thousand, and Dill ran be hind Mison. It is only another proof that the people distrust the Democracy 'r love for the laboring clnoses. Vorti American. The nearly equal division of par ties in the Forty-sixth Congress is urged as a reason for the consolida tion of the Independents, Green backers and Republicans against the Democrats, and thus control the or ganization of the House. The New York Tribune figures the strength of each party in the new House at 148 Democrats, 134 Republicans and 11 Greenbackers, aad speaking for the Republican party says it is stronger without these Greenbackers than with them. We can afford to have the Democrats control the next House, but we cannot afford to control it ourselves by the aid of men whose onlv political prinf iple is at warfare with everything wo believe, end then go saddled with their fatal friendship into tho Presidential campaigu OI 1SS0. We won this year largely lie cause we made a square, honest tight for hard money. V e hope to win in 18S0 by equal manliness and single ness of purpose ; and unless the Greenbackers come to us on our terms, which are conversion and change of life, we do not want them at all, and prefer nut to delude our selves by counting them." POLITICAL. A special dispatch from Washing ton says : The following letter from a prominent citizen cf Charleston, S. C. gives an account of the treatment of a Deputy United States Marshal while acting in the discharge of his duty at the late election, and of Ids subsequent arrest anl imprisonment by the !ocal authorities : During the eountiug of the votes on the night of the 5th inst, at the poll in the town of Orangeburg, in the county of the same name and in this Congressional district, Sandy Keitt, a regular United States Dep uty Marshal, endeavored to obtain admission to the room where votes were' being counted.

Secretary Sherman says the late election was siiuply tbe funeral of tbe antiresamption party. Right ; and wasn,t it buried deep The Republicans of Illinois bave a majority of four on joint ballot in tbe Legulatnre. The Gooe- Democrat ssys there were fty thousand voters in St. Louis who did not go to the polls no the 5th, and that, if they bad voted, that city would have given a Republican majority of twenty to thirty thousand. A dispatch from Cbarlestown says : Three managers of election at one of tbe Charleston polls were arrested nn der warrants from tbe United States Commissioner, for obstructing a deputy marshal in the discbarge of bis duties at tbe recent election and for refusing to publicly count tbe ballots. Tbey waived examination and were admitted to bail. Other arrests are expected to day. Eighteen citizens of Orangeburg bave been arrested fur obstructing United States officers in the discharge of ibeir duties at election. Tbey gave bail for appearance for trial. The two political parties in the next Congress will be so evenly balauced that tbe four Congressman elected next September in California are of the greatest importance. Governor Hoyt will be inaugurated on tbe third Tuesday of January, for a term of four years. Tbe official list of members of the next Legislature issued from tbe office of the Secretary of State shows in tbe Senate eleven Republicans, nine Dem ocrats and one Independent Democrat and in tbe bouse of Assembly thirty three Republicans and twenty-seven Democrats, thus givinjr the Republi cans a seven majority on joint ballot. In tbe last session the Democrats bad nine majority on joint ballot. Despatches from Kansas say tbe low er bouse of tbe Legislature will stand Republicans 87; Democrats, 24; Greenbackers, 15 ; Republican majori ty over all, 43. The Senate has a Re Republican majority of 32, giving a Re publican majority on joint ballot of 80. Colonel Frank Zachary, who was sent by Governor Nichols as special agent to Tensas parish to report tbe true ndition of affairs, there, bas re turned ana jnbmiMed a lengthy report. He says that notW.:'br,diDg exagger ated report from T?na." he could only succeed iu finding that tweiC? negroes bad been killed. Dr. Jorgensen, the only Republican Congressman from Virginia; tells the Washington Star that he owes bis elec tion to bis stand in favor of honest money. He received tbe votes of many prominent and wealthy Demo, crats, who refused to support the Vir ginia tendency toward repudiation. As for tbe Presidential outlook, tbe Doctor thinks the Republicans of Vir ginia would prefer General Grant for President, and Judge Settle, of North Carolina, for Vice-Preident. This might suit Virginia, but the ticket for 1880 will be picked out especially to suit the solid north. DISPATCHES. Cincinnati, Nov. 13.

Mr. Samuel Myers is now lying bed fast at bis home in this place, afflicted with that terribly malady, the screw worm. Mr. Myers bas been sick of late with fever, and on Monday last while resting in bed one of the flies al ighted near bis nostrils. It requires but a few moments for one of these flies to deposit hundreds of eggs, which are batched and grown inside of an hour, many of tbe tbem as much as eoeJialf an inch in length. Mr. Myers, upon awakening, felt a sight tickling in tbe nose, and it was not nntil bis eyes and face bad become fearfully swoleo that the physician discovered tbe presence of the worms. Tbe only known reme dy was applied calomel and and car bolic acid by injection into tbe nos trils. At first a few would drop their hold and force themselves ont. Appli cation after application was mads with like results up to last night, when one hundred and fifty-two was the number passed. The patient is in a critical condition, with but slight hopes of bis recovery. Tbe fly is much dreaded by our stockmen, and is represented as a dark-colored and fuzzy insect, wbicb geuerally attacks cattle or any other animal that is unfortunate enough to bave blood npon which tbey can alight. In tbe fall of 1877 a man named Clayton left Lock Haven for tbe Far West. He looated on Sapper creek, Decatur county, Kansas where he erec ted a cabin and laid tbe foundation of what be supposed would, some time in tbe future, be a boms for bis family, consisting of a wife, son and daughter.

The cabin was burned, and tbe re mains of the father consumed therein ; the mother was thot through the shoul der and the daughter in the back. Tbe son, Henry II. Clay toe, aged 18 years, was absent at tbe time of the massacre, working fcr a farmer, and thus escap ed a like horrible fate. When be re turned home tbe next day after the ter rible tragedy be was horrified at tbe fearful work of the savages, found bie mother and sister some distance from tbe dreadful scene and buried them with the charred bones of bis father. Tbe place had no further charms for bim and be resolved to return to the borne of his childhood.

Tbey were charged with murdering little white girl six years old, which bad been left in in tbe care of its mother. Suicide for disappointed love is be coming more the rate with each past ing year. Hearts ache and break as of yore, doubtless, and in this respect tbe lapse of time works no improvement; but the tendency of the time is to dis play of fortitude and stoicism in tbe struggle with the unavoidable.

A great invasion ol kangaroos receot ly occurred in various settled parts of Australia, especially Queensland, the animals being, no doubt driven from the interior by tbe drouth and its effects, in search of food. Tbey came thousands, devouring everything in the snpe of herbs or grain, so tbat tbe sheep and caiL'e were often reduced to dry leaves for fodu'er.
