THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1882. The money-order ! busineas of the post officio' ent for the fiscal year was $120„000. There was a sort of poetic justice in the boiler explosion at San Francisco, the other day, which . killed the inspector whci had pronounced it safe the day-before. There is a movement in Washington to have the Census Bureau made a permanent institution. At the rate its work t is, pro gressing now the movement appears to be lsuperfinous. It seems to be useless to remind the poli ticians who are now in search of an avail able Republican candidate for President in 1884 among the less conspicuous public men of thelime that public sentiment is getting rather weary of such contrivances. The State Bureau of Labor shows that Illinois ranks next to. Pennsylvania 'in the production of coal. The output for - 18Ee was 9,000,000 tons. List year the yield was 6,000,000 tons. The coal mines, are found in-forty-six of the ,hundred counties of the State. Tho value' of the yield of t coal at the mines was nearly $14,000,000: The London Echo mentions Gen. Sher man's recommendation that the. United States .Army be increased to- 80,000 men and then sighs;,. "Happy land, that finds 30,000 men enough for the protection of half a continent, and that, consequently, spends its taxes in maldngsuch educational provision as altogether puts our English cities to -shame r A thinit skinned . Connecticut• judge has fined a Waterbury newspaper. editor for contempt of Court because the latter sharply criticised a decision of the judge in a crimi nal case: There are some judges - like that in Pennsylvania who think their judgments are simply perfect and are only deterred• from trying to stop newspaper criticism by fines by their fear of ridicule. The Attorney General of this State his just decided a question of law at the sug gestion of Gov. Hoyt. An application was made to the Governor by-a person convict ed of violation of election laws to be re stored to citizenship, but according to the decision of the, law officer of the Commbn wealth the Governor is powerless to grant the request of the disfranchised individual. The receipts into the United States Tress- Airy froM customs and.intenmi-revenue for the six. business'days of last week were is follows: Monday Tuesday...... Wednesday ... Thursday Friday.. Saturday Total Daily average If the country is in a fair Fay., - to reduce the national taxation some eighty, millions of dollars per annum, and can afford to pay more than a hundred million dollars annu ally for pensiciti4 it certainly ought to be able to stand *ithout, a strain the reduc- tion of the fates of letter postage to two cents. And yet in some quarters the move , ment is regarded as ono of rather doubtful expediency. There is every reason to be lieve tluttithe revenue would rise, with elas ticity under the increased use of the letter mails. ' The loss sustained by the Catholics of Cincinnati through the banking operations - ,of Archbishop Purcell have brought about one excellent result in the issue of an order , by the present Archbishop prohibiting and* '43ordained priest!in that , diocese from re ceiving money on deposit or in trust, or for investment by private parties. In plain terms; religious banking has been abolished in Cincinnati by' the. : dignitaries of the Latin Church, as being foreign to the interests of the church and calculated to injure the cause of religion. The entire psoductive industries of this country in the census year amounted to 67,000,000,000, of which more than one fifth. $1,483,000,000, went into the liquor traffic. The laboring clocses received that year $1,100,000,000. It cost V 93,000,000 to Clothe the American *pie,. about one quarter as the drink bill; an. average of $65 to a family for clothes, and $2OO for liquor. The public schools cost $100,000,000. Thirty times as much was expended in the liquor business Lis byl the churches. For each of our 80;000 churches there are four grog shops and for every one of 90,000 ministers there are six bartenders. A despatch from Harrisburg, says: "The receipts of -the Pennsylvania State . Treas urer-last year, independent of the amount obtained for thd new loan, aggrega ted 4,r.068,529, and the expenditures, exc lusive of the amount paid to redeem loans due, reached $5,024,766. !About three-fourth of the revenue was obtained from the taxa tion of corporations. The expenses of the State government proper, including • Legis lagislature, judiciary and State depart ments, were $1,157,000. In addition, $683,65•4 were paid to charitable institu pons; $366,670 to soldiers' orphan schools; $1,083,524 to common schools; $242,395 to the national'guard, and $278,988 to peni tentiaries. Th 3 State debt is $20,225,083.- es, showing a reduction of $915,104. , Northampton county is_ going to try what it can get in the way of reform at Harrisburg this winter. It will ask that its district attorney will be made a salaried officer; that the office of county detective be abolished and that its justices of the peace be examined as to their qualifications be fore appointment. The Media American commenting on this 114 t proposition says: A rural justice of the peace; who knows anything of the business in hand, as hard to find, and-when found in such a treasure that the wonder is a law compelling , all justices to possess some legal information be yond a copy of "Purdon's Digest" -has not, been enacted long ago. There is no way to atteinpt this reform - under the constitu tion than to apply it to all the counties. How far the civil service is likely to be reforined by the Democratic party can be imagined from the fact that leading Demo cratic Congressmen make no secret of their intention to prevent the passage of the Roudleton bill, unless it is amended by the addition of a proviso limiting its appli cation to clerks appointed ; ~ subsequently to its - passage. The object, of this exception is of course nbvious. it means that the Democrats are determined that if they can help it there 'shall' be no snch reform as will prevent them from ousting the present office-holders. Their idea of reform con sists in getting, Republican appointees out of place in order to make room for :the crowd of hungry Democzts p pho are look ing with longing eyes to s the distribu tion bf the loaves and fishes which seem to be looming up iti,the distance. , We agree with the North American when it says: `lt is understood that a proposal will be made at the next meeting of the Republican National Committee to amend the title of the Republican party by the ad dition as a prefix of the word "National," the idea being, it is said, to please and iittract the many southern voters who have fallen out with the Demecracy. We doubt if this suggestion will meet-with much favor and do not stall think that if adopted . it would be materially effective in the - man ner desired. To make such &changemild look like an admission that the Rept' T ae party hid hot been national in its sy m thies, in its"development and in its policy, and no southerner is going to change his politics on account of the addition of an adjective. 1e West Chester Record, it is quite evi dent, does not heartily' favor the Tutors tion of Fits John Porter. In its iiasaa :of a recent date it says: "Senator-, L o gan says hetiili oppose the bill restoring Fits John Porter to the army, as Img - as he lives. Thousands of gallant men Idled /manse of Porter's conduct and it , is - wmosM now that Gesiinil Garfield, ' PrWi Lincoln, and others who Punished.

The question of a reduction of letter pos tage from three to two cents :has been argued in Congress during the past week in all its phases. Since the prosecution of the star-route thieves the postal service has. proved self-sustaining. - is argued, with a show of sowid . reausnil that by a' re duction of letter pstage two cents the number of letters sent would be greatly in creased and the number of one cent postal cad is sent would be proportionally diminish ed, and the service would be the gainer of one cent in revenue on each letter of the increased number. Also that while letter postage is retained at three cents, the' dif ference between letter postage and the posW card is so large, that the number of letters sent is largely diminished in conse ciencei and that it is not good tlnanciering on the part,of the government to furnish the postal card land transmit it for one cent, while the writer of a letter furnishes his own paper and !,envelope and is . charged three cents for the transmission of every half ounce or a fraction thereof. This fact is presented in proof of-the. argument that the pro - posed reduction to two cents would enhance the postal service. The guarantee of secrecy in the transmission of a sealed letter is an advantage worth one cent over the pistid card saythey, but it is not worth two cents More, hence the letters sent would be greatly enhanced by the reduc tion. It is a pretty well settled: conclusion that the government is standing in its own light by maintaining-a three cent postage on letters while it firnishes the postal card , and transuiits it for one cent.. There-are indicatioas that the results of the late election have awakened lead ing Republicans to a sense of the im portance of, promoting 'party harmony. The ostentatious bearing of a class of political bosses toward those . Republi cans who refused, in the November elections, to follow ihe party flag is much . modified: The administration • • at Washington recognizes the 190,000 Democratic rnajoritY, in New York, and the 40,000 majority - - in Pennsylvania as . a danger signal to the party that certain defeat awaits it in 'B4 unless the party, can be united. The defeat in New York of a member of President Arthur's cabinet by a majority so large, is significant of the demand of the rans and-file of the party that there must be reform in party practices i and Meth ods. As' much as Republicans deplore Democratic ascendan4 . they; will not tolerate the impious and, imperious rule of a - set of p trty bosses who wield the party lash to drive them to the support of nominations made in contempt of their will. Senator Cameron, Quay, Rutan and other . machine rulers in Pennsylvania seem disposed to recog-. nize the' lessons of the recent election 'and to profit by them. They. express a willingness to sheath the sword and are•making overtures t for peace and harmony of the warring factions. They see the danger-signals' in the distance and are anxious to ayoid a total wreck of the good old RepUblican ship upon the breakers of discord. Such's course is in happy contrast with the action and practice of that class of .Republicans in our State in the past. - Heretofore all Republicans who denied the ' ! night of State conventions to name and instruct the district delegatesi to our national conventions and to bind-them to vote as.a unit on all' questions, however zealon t sly they may have worke&for the success of the Republican ticket, were marked as subjects for party ostracism by a set of party rulers. Men who expressed an honest conviction of the $1,074,715.15 760,648.83 894,979.67 1,109,361.51 791,292.57 890,416.24 $5,521,413.97 ..$920,235.66 wrongs of party management, were visited with the most unjust, arrogant, and tyranica) ostracism, and popular right were trampled upon as.unworthy the respect of 'party rulers- and their Harmony can be restored Upon the basis of popular rights and . .apon no other. The rank - and file Of he party care little who are in the lead, only so be it that they are leaders Of public thought and - that Party action shall be in harmony with popular senti ment. They demand radical reform in party methods. All delegates - -to county conventions should be chosen by . ballot at primrry elections in the Several election districts. Delegates ,to State conventions should be chosen uniformly by a regular convention of delegates chosen in this way by ,every county, is the State. Dis trict delegates to National conven tions should, be chosen by the Congres sional districts, and should ; act with due respect to the - sentiment of their constituents and not 718 dic:ated to by a' central dynasty in our 'State politics. The State convention, of, right, may elect and instruct, the delegates for the State-at large or Senatorial delegates to the National Convention, bqi, 'when it goes beyond this and attempts to ,in struct the district delegates and bind them to vote as a unit, it transcends its authority and exercises a machine rule in contempt of popular rights. When the party is reorganized upon this basis and party practices are in harmony herewith, party harmony will cone, and the people will not stop to inquire who, lads. But the overtures for peace must come from those of the ' party who have committed the wrongs complained of, and not , froin those who have been ostracised and, trampled upon for dissenting from their methods of party management. When the olive branch of peace is tendered upon this basis the tender will be met in ear nest good faith by 'the thousands who have heretofore protested in vain against the usurpations and wrongs of assumed leaders upn the rights of the masses of the party. Reform is also demanded in the Methods of making congressional nomi nations.r'-.This question is one Of "vital importanCe. The practice of perMit ting a candidate to name)* conferees and to carry them in . his pocket into the y conference subject -entirely to his will is a practi,g -fraught 'with most mischievous' chnseqUeuces.

The practice o 4 bargain and sale, often so disasterouslk exercised under our present - confereeVystem is entirely broken tip, and i e candidate, nomina ted is pretty su of receiving the sup port of the part .

D. 0.. bee. is, /882: The discussion nn tho t, civil service bill, known as the Pendletorif bill, in the Senate during - thepast:week/has been of a highly interesting character. A provision of the bill requires that hereafter'all original ap pointments shall be made_ in the lowest grade, aftera **mishit competitive exam ination', with /pedal reference to the of duties to be performed. This, if a law, would compel all new appointees to deNrt ment clerkships to commence at six hun dred &liars a year, with the prospect of promotion to the higher grades as their capacity for service 'becomes , developed by experience. It is bard for some of the Democrats to be compelled by law to aban don the old dectrine originated by Marey and stzennouslys enforced by Jackson, - viz., "TO TUE VICTORS BELONG TUE SPOILS." • Senator -Brown, of Georgia,. argued the question purely from ' a Democratic party standpoint, without reference to the merits or principles ' iavolved bit- the bill. His speech could not have been more highly partizan had it been made in a partycaucus df his.Democratie brethren. .He assumed' that the Dei . nocfsts were coming into abso; lute power in every department of the gov-. ernment by the - - dr President in 'B4, end denount as a scheme of the Republicans .in position their own partizalu till all the departments, and * KEEP THE OCT Aftek they had woi of the places which rightfully be) them, or com pel them to take tt daces while the Republicans reniall ie top. He thought this a mr, iposition and warned his colleagt voted for it that their party wot, .• defeat in con sequence. While there' is little doubt that Senator Brown expressed the true inward= ness of the real sentiment of the Democratic party, his speech created a pail* among his Democratic colleagues, and they gather ed in , groups or retired to the coat rooms to discuss the rashness and impolicy of the Senator from Georgia: At ,the conclusion of his speech,, Senator George, of Aliasissip pi, rose in place and administered a scathing rebuke-to his Democratic colleague and warned his party senators dust if they recorded theii votes against civil-service reform their party would certainly be de feated in 'B4. A practice so directly in Conflict with, their professions would be a disgrace, and the people would justly.de nounce them as a set of political demagogues unfit to be intrusted with the reins of gov ernment. His rejoinder waft warmly ap plauded on the Republican side of the Sen ate and he received hearty congratulations at its close. The republican senators all' favor the passage of a civil service bill in some form, as do a majorkrof the demo cratic senators. There is litt i t i c e lbt that a bill of this character will be during the present Session. - The House is making' rapid progress on the annual 1 1 APPROPRIATION BILLS. • ' The Indian. the agricultural, the military academy, and the post office appropriation bills have all been reported in the House. The Indian appropriation bill has passed the House ' and been reported by the Senate committee on Indian affairs back to the Senate„, and will be passed finally during the week., Business will be farther ad vanced prior to the holiday recess than at any prior session for many years. The Indian appropriation bill was-prepared by Mr. Ryan of Kansas, prior to the assem bling of the present session and reported to the House on the first y. Mr. Ryan is a well-known Bradford unty boy, and is one of the most active an influential mem bers of the House. His nstituents recog nize his efficiency and fai ulness and have returned him to the Forty Eightl:Congress,, giving hiin four successive terms of service.

While the.report cannot be in troduced as evidence, it goes far to estab-' fish the guilt of the accused parties in the public mind, and will have its weight with the jury.
