Lave imbniitted a report favoring an appro

May, 11§83,
- The total receipts into the Treasury of

nal revenue for the six business days of
last week was $6,240,172.65. 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.

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

?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

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

To one who is continually presen

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

met:with so many rebuffs that , sbe ttz , :iO
has beceme cranky, spiteful and cro p,
and berates Congress 4 for its ingratittide
with every epithet ,to be found i her.
vocabulary. 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

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

in anything else. , Had she, i likS a

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.

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.
But her offorts will ;prove a failure.

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.
