An average per day , of $1,040,026.77. ' 4l} The President Saturday transmitted to e House of Representatives a communica tion from the Secretary of the Interior De partment asking for an appropriation of $245,900 to complete the work of the tenth census. Commissioner McFarland, of the General land Office, says that a larger amount 4of public lands will have been disposed of &tiring the year ending June 30, 1882, than during any prieceeding year since the estabT lishment of the General Land Office. • Congress has done a sensible thing, and one which will give general satisfaction, in providing for the redemption of the trade dollar. It is hereafter to be exchangeable for the legal-tender variety at the Federal - sub-treasuries, and in this way what was once an anomaly and it nuisance will be re moved. The labor strikes , in the West have caused such a falling - Off in the iSilroad business that the railroad companies are dis Char ging hands by the hundreds, taking off extra trains pid doing everything in their power to. Curtail expenses.. On the Pennsylvaiiii Railroiurs lines west of Pittsburg 3500 men have been discharged. Outside rumors, quite current in Wash.: ington, are, to the effect that President - Arthur, Senator Logan, and many Repub -11«us members Of Congress, recognizing the .prObability of the defeat of the Republican party in Peennsylvania in consequence of party -division, and contemplating the -effect upon national politics of such a re sult, have called a halt on Senators Cani eron and Mitchell, and demand an amicable settlement of existing difficulties by reason-, able. conedisions on both cider. As yet it . Is only rumor :, as no definite steps ; have become public toward that end. The bill now before the House for in creasing the clerical force of the Pension Bureau, so that it may be ,equal to the speedy and effective discharge of its duties, is a bill which ought to become a law. It is to the interest both of the nation and of, the pensioners that the outstanding claims. against the government on account of pen sions under the Arrears of Pensions act should be adjudicated and disposed 'of as quickly as possible, for the longer their examination is deferred, - the more difficult the detection of fraud becomes. At present the Pension Office is hopelessly behind hand with its work, and unless strongly rein forced, will be in arrears for a long time to come. A more distressing accident than that which happened one day *ecently near New York city, on the Harlem Railroad, is very seldom reported. Five children; of ages ranging from four to fourteen, were walk ing on the track when the train came along and they stepped aside to let it pass. Un happily another train traveling in the oppo site dir i ectionlashed up at the same time, and the bewildered chidren, losing all pres ence of mind, failed to get out of the way, and were one and all killed. This sad tragedy is di.epened by the fact that the children - were all brothers and sisters, and that the engine Which caused their death was driven by a near relative. It, would nett, be easy to imagine a more harrowing tale. M. Justice Bradley has decided that the • motion for a writ of habeas corpus must be denied, as the • argument impugning the authority of the court below is without merit, and with that . decision Guiteiqs last chance is gone. There is no hope for hicri now. His counsel,• with astonishing istence and no little ' ingenuitY, has alienated in his client'S behalf all the re sourcespf the law, and unless the President intervenes with a pardon . , than . which noth ing could lie:more unlucky, the sentence of death under which Gniteau is lying, will be'caryied into execution in ten days' time!, So lan the prisoner has shown considerable nerve; and has completely falsified the prediction that he would break down. Whether he has snfficient courage and self control to mantain a bold front now that all hope is gone, remains to be seen. , The New York Herald is given to fore casting the weather, and it .is due to that lively journal to say that its-predictions being based on scientific observations and facts generally prove true. It thinks that the erplaitation of the. compoitively cool weather 'ire have had this 'June seems rather to Ibe that the amount of aqueous vapor in the atmosphere is unusually large, and this serves as 'a screen to intercept the sum's heat rays, than that the sun has not its usual June fervor. The very heavy , rainfalls , Windy reported abundantly prove that the aerial currenti are abnor mally charged with moistures' The country south of • the , fortieth- parallel has been in fact screened from the sun's radiation very much as some of the West. Indian islands, the vapor laden trade wind shields the son from the fiercest rays. Even at Barl?adoes, aboirt twelve degrees fraiii the Equator, the thermometer as a r u le rises in summer only to 85, that being the aim. lute maximum heat 'given in the British records. If this is the explanatiosi of car col season it would seem the evaporation MU in the tropical seas 14 ;been for some time in ()Fames, would indicate , that the sun's energy at ibis period is really greater than it usually is. In this case we should naturally expect for some time peke. to the wanner solstice a backward, wet season, to be followed by all the hot'weather in July and August, if not sooner, that:the farmers can desire for their crops. Judging by the meteorological conditions of the past aim weeks this will be the outcome of the pres ent season. • 1 Another oil well of three-thowiand-barVel cilibre has been struck in-Warrei county. } In the face of this the pi:B'4 oil has fallen to sl} ients per barrel, and seems - ready to _p give the nneqUal conflict entirely. This sort, of thing is becoming Painfully monot onous to Bradford producers, says the Mies, the majority of whom are the criers of small wells. If no relief comes during the summer many of, them will go to the Wall despite their ; most strenuous efforts to keep their hear above water. The Out look is gloomy enough to, the most hopeful. When experienced oil *orators are eager to pay one thousand dams for an sere of land and give one-fourth 'of all the off 'pro duced to the seller the' situation becomOs one of-peculiar interest; but . when ate United_Pip eu e u line Company, the most con servative beet informed institutkin in the oil count+, makes :,preparation at this early dayZ T FUIg a production of thirty thousand of alla day the situation becomes one I f absolute danger to at per wag owning small wells.: The end 00 all I cannot yet be even , • . The present Independent uprising in Pennsylvania, is pot, ccinfined entirely to the Republican paitY., Much of the sane spirit is found in the Democratic party. lt , arises out of the same cause both, and naturally will seek the: same cure. He who treats it With total indifference and ridicule will learn as time progresses and results begin to be foreshadowed that, there is sufficient of force in the movement to claim' the thoughtful consideration of r the wisest and most patriotic men of the ' party. It, comes from the substratuni of politics and is working its way upwards and just beginning to be seen on the surface. It is an uprising of the 1 ple who form the base and furnish the votes that give success; to parties,l and without which no party can succeed. The personal popularity of General . Beaver will greatly strengthen . the Harrisburg ticket; and the enthusiasm with which he is everywhere received' encourages the hope that' the ticket will succeed in spite of the 'lndependents, and therefOre the leaders disconrage and frown 'down all attempts at recon lei iation. Inside of both camps find the same defiant attitude, the same hopeful presentation of their respective prospects as distinct organizationa l : In our judgement, there is nothing either side can hope for, so far ns the respec tive State tickets are concerned, if the divided I fight - goei on to the end, except a disgraceful defeat which will !elleet deep and lasting,--diVacel) upon the leaders of both wings of Ithe party. When the fight is over, they. - can gath er their shattered forces in their re spective camps and • survey the lost field,, trace the lines which they have followed leading in different directions to the same point of destruction, and then deplore the action that has led to such a result: It , will then be WO late, and laMentations and wailing w ill `be of ord4 The ti to 'deal - out oi ter. _ sme , /eat present evils is now. We ihalt ,con• tinue to sound the warning and ttz l , plead for a settlement of the difficulties on the basis of party harmony. until we see there is , no' hope. We consider this a patriotic political duty. In this :connection, we beg our Repnblican 'friends in Bradford and in- our Sena torial and Congressional districts, to keep the division out of our 'dent poli tics., , Let ns act together as Republi cans, and keep our organization intact 'upon our local ticket at least. We trust there will be no cause for thrust ing the troublesome.question of lie-, publican distinctions into our, county' convention. ?iOT A STILL HUNT,. It is announced with some that the Democratic campaign State is to be_a campaign of such enthusiasm as can be stimulat brais bands, fireworks and, I brazen Oratory. But why is it necessary to formally announce the .usual. it will • puzzle, many to recall a Demekratic campaign for important State Officers in Which noise and vaporings . were '', not the sum and substance. A Demecra. tic still hunt is only 4ossible when victory does not mean a feast of fat things. The noise of the captains and the shoutings are already heard, and the Democratic bosses are already dividing the spoils of victory before' the skirmishers have been deployed. By these tokens we are enabled to that there is' stiU- a Democratic 'party among.us. Chairman Bogert is retorted, to be very busy registering the names of Republicans who haVe concluded to vote he Democratic ticket. Theee enlist tents, like charity, have begun I se,Chair man Bogert's home. Though the, yepub- Ream have two ticket , ' in f,he,field neither seems to exactly meet the Views of the niore fastidious members of the party in Luzerne. These last!dious Repulicans are believednby It l fr. Bogert. to have become so utterly. I disgusted' with the'divisions of the Party; and, so satisfied that the party has outlived its Usefulness, that they are' resolved to go over in. a 'body to the Democrat's. This is a cheerful state of affairs from the Democratic pi,:kint of view. How it looks from the sland-point ,of these disgusted R,epublimans we can only , Some twenty yetis ego the ptiopie of Pennsylvania came to the conclusion that the democratic party had outlived its usefulness. It had subsisted on huckstering its power in the• State for many years. It had buried beyond reserrectioion over forty millions Of money, wrung from the taxpayers in of the collection of the same, whiob amounted to the hypOtheeation of State Avenues for thirty years in advance. The farmersi i and 'artisans literally groaned under thnbnrden of , taxation involved by Democratic ; And' to add to this Onlnunasment, this leaders had bonne' and led the old Common wealth captive in the interest of human bondage. The DemocracY was-not _ . troubled With - divisions in that - It was solid for the Mulbooly of slavery and the forty-thieve_4iiiii..--But the yoke wwi galling and the burden heavy, and the yountaielideclaredoff. They saw that, the aid film - tiled outlived its time; tti - cy - weiicricor - over to the Whig party; hut`to .the people, And the Democratic party in - Pennsylvania has never elected -a Governor since. But if it has never elected a Governor since, it is because it - has done nothing to indgce any seltrespecting citizen to I - go to its aid. During the score of years of its:exile from power in Penn zylvrinia iias hung upon the skids of every new movement, like the body of cemplollowers it has degenerated into, always eager to profit by any conten tion in the ranks of its subjugators, always ready to trade an uncertain general opportunity for a certain local advantage. It' stood ready to derive party advantage from the invasions of the State by the 'relids.. - It hastened to join the revolution inaugurated by Andrew Johruion. It sought an alliance with the fiat money party so long as that motley following ':was worth the taffy necessary to be expended. But never in. all these Yeiini of exile has the Democratic party prolvsed to make a tinipaign on its nierits.; ' Since it lacked the merits, hoW could it make a campeign? l It is always eager , to base its hopes upon the blunders of the Republicans. But: what straits is a party rediced vdien the best it can say of itself is that hopes to succeed through the Idundeew of its opponents? Adversity proves of no advantage to that party, teaches it nothing, and in nothing purifies it. Just as it left the places of power, it stands at the gates a sturdy beggar, • not having changed its tags and tatters.--North American, EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE WA5ar40! . ..13.,,C., June 19, 1682 With the mercurtfip in the nine ties, it must not be expected that long, elaborate letters, full of pith and pathos can be written. 'AIL Washington is SWXLTEBDiG WITH HEAT. Members of Congress, in contempt . of the great fans which are run by steam power to distribute wind through the hall of the House, bring their • fans to the House with them and during session scores of them are seen in active-play at'the some time. The astute Pon. Piatt, editor , of the Capi tol, has: derisively dubbed the House the-" Cave of the winds," and the 'Sen ate the "Fog • Bank'." If he were to look in upon the• House one of these hot days he would find plenty of wind, and going to the cave in the subbase ment where the tremendous fans are spun round at a speed of 200 revolu tions a minute, he would discover where the wind emanated. - • All Washington is. ! now seeking cool retreats to egeapg She depressing effects of the hot season; and sighing for Vennor's "cool, summer." 'The numerous palace steamers have resumed their summer rates for cheap excursions down the Potomac. There are a half dozen or more of these steames running from Washington to different points and return; charging from fifteen cents to one dollar, accor ding to distance, tpr 'the round . trip. From Washington Qutiutico and s return, .a distance 1.4 :fifty miles, thei fare is fifty cents. Thous - ands of peo• pie, men women Od children; daily avail themselves iof tht opportunity thus afforded, to enjoy the , cool breezes wafted up the Potomac from off the bay, and return refreshed after a ride of :five or six hours on the river. COIGFIESEI WILL ADIOURN ravity within the next three weeks, Washington will rel4se into its nor; mal condition' of t suminer dullness, with none tint the department employes who do the medal work and. keep governmental - machine running, to feed upon. Poor felloWS How they sigh, "0 1 for a lodge in some , vast wilderness." It is at best, a humdrum life, wh4e. - one , ' looses his personal identity 'among his fellow men, im mured. Within marble walls, eking out a miserable existence to become totally unfit for:any (Air- useful occupation, and that upon salaries hardly Supient to keep soul and 'together, forbidding the 3 en-joyment of any of the luxuries 'Which may be secured in other avocations of life. Such a life'may do for men" advanced in years, but to young men we say "go west boys I" go, anywhere, rather than seek an annual government clerkship in Washington. n this sturdy 1 - , by To one who is continually presen during the seaions, CONGRESS WITH ITS SURROUNDINGS' presents many ,ludicrous phases. Claims cranks without number drake their annual piig,rimage to the Ctipitol, and annoy members of COngress by besieging their at their rooms, stoPping them upon the streets, or sending the messengers to their seats to ply them with a, history Of their grievances which have , no foundation other than such as exists in the imagination of• a . demented brain. The years come and go, congress meets and expires, vet 'you see these same faces about the Capitol year after year, generally around with a voluminous pile`of manuscript drawn up,by themselVes in the form of an argument in 'their own behalf that would occupy the time of a member . an hour to read. One of, the most noted of these crank's is Colonol Morris Pinchovir, who imagines that he has a claim against. the government 'of $60,000,000; for urvices and stipples during the war in the employ of the late Thomas;.. Scott, for which there iiii is not a shadow of foundaticin. Yet he prewies it.with a persistency worthy of a good cause, but It sleeps •as quietly as a new-born infant from Congress to Congross.and is.- never ;;heard from: The old man_will patiently wait until a kind PiOvidence removes him from off the stage of existence, when sonie other crank will take .his. place to annoy Congressmen- with".:„-jionze Other 'equally crazy scheme. -. nli..

At every recurring:_ses s sion for years, .she • appears., in plug hat, frock coat; nts and boots, and might have been seen Icnockiag at the door of the Room ottharommittee . ~ on War Claims, or wandering in the corridors of the Capitol with l a huge bundle of papers in one hand ,and a rattan 'cane in the. other, the latter of which she frequently found use for in repelling 'the insults of rude boys who made merry over her quaint style of dress. Her insanity consists more in her determination to wear clothes fabhiontd after the style of the sterner sex than in anything else. , Had she, i likS a 'ensible female, (I,oissed in irtticolits and other becomi*female attire, , , and beautified her face/ with a free ippli. dation of rouge, t4)' - gl - vatter a youthful appearance, though she ,is a little ad vanced, she would !With the average --) • congressman . been , more successful, perhaps in her . solicitation for relief. This thought is suggested. by the cur rent assertion prevalent here, that a member Of , Congress, *hen, a lady's card is brought him in his seat by , a messenger, always propounds as his first inquiry: "is she good looking ?" If the answer is in the .a ffi rmative he neverfails to respond Ito the call. Dr. 4aryfi has, however, , been appeased. Seine 'time in January she was giien. a place in one of the Departments and is now under pay. She says She would never, have obtained this. if Arthur had ' net" become President. A week ago she was at the Capitol l eirculating a petition to the t'resident for the pardon of • Gulteau. She owes Guiteau a debt of personal gratitaide and therefore wants him , paidoned.

I have endeavord to write a non , letter, but in closing, J can not refrain from reproducing', a little incident that occurred in the House a few days since during the debate on the legislative, executive,' and' judicial appropriation bill, created much mer. riment at the expense of the Democratic side of the House. Mr. COXy of New York; offered an amendment to the bill, prohibiting the Republican Con gressional Committee, and naming personally each member thereof, from receiving any money for political ritir -poses from any employe 'of the govern ment. Mr. Calkins, of.lndiana, popped up, and proposed to add to. Mr. Cox's amendment; the followirig words "nor to buy- mules in Indiana." This un expected shot into the Democratic camp knocked the fulin'y member from 'New York, completely off his balance. The House broke into 'a roar of laugh ter, in which Cox himself joined, and everybody appreciated and enjoyed the force of the joke as a happy 'hit. • The. force of the joke will be comprehended by recalling the history 'of the last Presidential campaign ib Indiana. Prior to the State election that, year Indiana was the centre off; operations by both parties, in a mighty. effort tc secure a triumph for the State ticket in October, as whichever 'party carried the State then would gain l a prestige that would tend to success in , the November election. Barnum, chair man of the Democratic National Corn- mittee, kept an agent in tndiana for the ostensible purpose ig "buying mules." , Each Democratic mule rep resented . $7,000 for election poses. Just on the eve of the election when the,DemOcrats' were being pushed to the last :' ' extremity in every quarter of the Sf,rite, Barnum telegraphed his agent in 'lndiana to ."buy seven more mules," which uncovered, meant liter ally, we have $70,000 more to e , put in the contest to gain the election. The significance of :Calkin's hit was so palpable that everobody enjoyed it. Y. H. PERSOitki PARAGRAPHS, L.V.
