At least here is something to thiuk about. —lt is a noticeable fact that the hideous crime of Guiteau has set the newspa pers to discussing and the people talking about the evils of the "spoils system." There is a very general impression, for which there seems to be ||ood reason, that but for this system this miserable creature would not have thought of shooting the President. —Tbe measures devised to reduce the National Guard of the State from five to three brigades occasions a great deal of dissatis faction.

Its nearest approach was last year, when the number reached 327,371. The only other year* when the limit of 300,000 was passed were 1852 and 1854.

The citizens are terror stricken and re fuse to talk about the crime. This terrorism is due to the fact that a number of gentlemen hare, within the week, received notices to leave there or take the consequences. That the mur der was committed by a band of Mollies there appear* now to be no doubt. —The salutatorian at Yale this year was a Dutchman, the valedictorian a Hebrew, and the prize deciaimer a Chinaman.

Mr. Walter gives notice that he is now running the mill himself and will be thankful to the pa trons of the mill for a continuance of their pat ronage. The mill is now in good running or der, a great deal of new machinery having late ly been put into it. It is doing good work and Mr. Walter will serve his customers promptly and well. —As the centennial of the surrender of Cornwallis, the last great event in the strug gle of the colonists for iudejiendence, is to be celebrated next October, we suppose the story of the siege and surrender, and the movements of the different armies previous to those events, part of which we publish this week, will be read with interest. One can scarcely realize that a nation, which less than a hundred years ago had to have the aid of a French arinv to help it free itself from the clutches of the Eng lish, now outnumbers that nation two to one. We have room but for part of the article this week, the balance of it will appear next week. —The inhabitants of New Mexico do not stand upon the technicalities of the law in dealing with desperadoes. A certain Mr. McCarthy, formerly of New York, and better known as "Billy the Kid," a promising young man of twenty-one, whose proud boast it was that he had killed a mau for every year of his life, has lately been pursued, and snot dead on sight, by a sheriff near Las Vegas. The coro ner's jury which sat on the body thus energet ically furnished for its use, rendered a verdict of justifiable homicide, and passed a vote of thanks to the sheriff for ridding the community of this remarkable young man, who seejns to have made himself a terror to tlie region. Fur thermore, the sheriff will receive a handsome reward from the State, and be the recipient of a popular subscription. —The startling story of the religious massacre in the Fiji Islands turns out to be, as the editor of the Missionary Herald expresses it, "the echo of a story which has been roaming around the Pacific Ocean for many months, gathering strength as it goes." The actual inassucre occurred quite a year ago. When the people of the northern part of one of the Gil bert Islands, who are partly Christianized, went south to gather cocoanuts, according to the custom of the country, they were attacked by the natives of the southern part, a drunken set, who would not allow theui to land. The Northerners then went home, armed themselves with clubs and returned to the charge with euch vehemence that in the battle that ensued •bout two hundred of the toddy-drinkers were killed. The report of the affair was given by the captain of the missionary brig in the ser vice of the A. B. C. F. M. and was published, it appears, iu the Missionary Herald last Feb uary. —The preliminary report on the English census, just laid before the House of Lords, shows that the population of England and Wales has increased 3,256,020 since 1871, and now reaches 25,968,28f>. The rate of in crease, which was between fourteen and fifteen per cent., seems small when compared with the thirty per cent, rate of gain in our own popula tion during substantially tlie same period. Hut while this is true the rate of increase has not been so high in England since the decade be tween 1831 and 1811 as it was during the past ten years. During this period the birth rate was unusually high and the death rate excep tionally low, results which Lord Carrington at tributes to the good effects of modern sanitary legislation. The population of Ireland is found to be s,which shows a decrease of 252,- 538, or 4.7 per cent, in ten year*. Since 1841 the Irish population has fallen awav from eight to five millions in consequence of famine, emi gration, &c. —The sudden and unfavorable change of last Saturday, in the condition of the Presi dent caused grave apprehensions. Probably these apprehensions were much exaggerated, as the hopes of his recovery were for a time, but it has been apparent to close observers of the case for some time that the injuries of the President were exceedingly dangerous, that he was a verv weak and siok man, and that it oould not f>e said that he was entirelv out of danger. On the other band, it is well now to remember that the surgeons in charge have from the first said that at a later stage in his recovery an abscess might form, and that his condition might then become critical, though they hoped to be able to meet with success that as well as other difficulties of the case. The emergency which was thus clearly foreshadow ed as not improbable may have arrived, and the fact that Drs. Hamilton and Agnew wore sum moned, and were prepared to leave with little delay, shows that the utmost resources of surgi cal und medical science will be employed to meet the difficulty. —Probably the largest counterfeiting operations ever devised and carried through are those reported from Geneva, Switzerland, A'company of swindlers, who made their head quarters there, have during the past twenty years succeeded in sending into Egypt and other Eastern countries not lews tlwn S#,OOU, OOO worth of counterfeit coins. These were made Into necklaces, that being a favorite form of invest ment by the Egyptian peasantry. They were thus shipped through the Custom House as jewelry, and found ready sale, until the inte rior villages, it is said, are fairly inundated with them. Nearly ten years ago the Egyptian Government became aware that something was wrong, but investigation was prevented by the buying otT of the investigators. It is likely that the Government will now be compelled to withdraw the piastres and replace then) with coin of the sauie value, but ot different name and appearance. The principal swindlers have been arrested, aud will hardly lie able this time to hush the matter up and secure immuni ty from deserved punishment. —According to the elements of Sch;u bcrle's comet, as computed by Professor S. C. Chandler, Jr., of Harvard Observatory, the new visitor is likely to prove an object of great interest during August. It will be ucarest the sun on August 18 and nearest the earth two days later. Although visible now onlv with the telescope, it will rapidly increase in Drightness as it approaches both sun and earth, and will soon become conspicuous to the naked eye. When the comet wliich is now disappearing was first seen, its distance from the earth was only thirty millions of miles. Schu.'lxarle's com et will never be nearer to us than fifty millions, but, on the other hand, it will approach ten million miles nearer the sqn than (|id its irnme< diate predecessor- The probabilities, therefore, arc thai tho new oomet will be no mean rival of Dom Pedro's, now sensibly taking leave of us by way of the Pole Star. Professor Stone, of Cincinnati, thinks that it is the same as the comet of 1337, which Was visible both in China and Europe, while Mr. Chuudler savs the ele ments resemble those of no known comet. —ln the very hour of political de mise, as in life, Mr. Conkling's vocabulary con tinues to be something more startling ana orig inal than "unterrified statesmanship" ever con ceived before in "all the throbbing activities of a hundred years." He telegraphs one of his friends at Albany that he has been "borne down bv forbidden and abhorrent forces aud agencies." This is a harsh name to apply to 68 Republican votes, and it is a question of taste whether a candidate who labored long to get some of those 68 Republican votes should have stigmatised them in that manner in the bitterness of his disappointment. On one point the telegram is distressingly vague. lu announcing |iig ap ; of "{lie Spartan hand which »o long has ito<>d for truth aud principle," Mr. Conkliug omitted to say whether truth is Piatt and prin ciple is Conk ling, or Piatt principle and Conk ling truth, or whether Mr. Conkling, in his opinion, stands for both, and Mr. Plutt, as usual in Mr. Conkling's opinion, "don't count." It must be added thai the temper of Mr. Conk ling's friends in the legislature last Friday was in the very best possible contrast with tlie tone of his dispatch. —Kvery Legislature contains some honest men, the opinions of croakers and rail way companies to the contrary notwithstand ing. A days ngo a hill to "forbid members to accept railway passes was offered in the New Hampshire Legislature. Considering the sus picion that properly attaches to every legisla tor who accepts anything from a railway com pany, anyone would suppose that even "crook* ed" members would have voted for the bill, trusting Satan and the companies to see that they would finally get u handful of single tick ets that would answer the same pur|Mtse as a pass.

This result has been anticipated almost from the beginning, but Mr. Harrison, being charged with the duty of treat ing with the legal guardians of the body and procuring it if possible, discharged his commis sion with the same fidelity as he woutd had he been encouraged by some hope of success. The Trustees of Jordan's Burial-place, where Penn has been resting in peace for over one hundred and sixty years, listened courteously to what Mr. Harrison had to say, and when he had fin ished politely handed him a written answer which they previously prepared. They signi fy that, according to their best judgment, the removal would not be agreeable to Mr, Penn himself, who selected his present resting-place when in the vigor of his life. With the great est respect to the Governor and Legislature of Pennsylvania, they think the removal contem plated would sever one of the ties between tbe two countries. It is, they assert, oontrary to the wishes of most of the lineal descendants of Penn and of many influential Friend#, who have written to the Committee, and, in short, Mr. Harrison must come back empty-handed. —Looking back upon the struggle of the last two months, at Albany, we must pro nounce that it was less creditable to the Admin istration members than was that of the Inde ]>endenis at llarrisburg. It is true, to be sure, that a minority, such as that whloh oarried its iKiint at llarrisburg, is more likely to be pure in its membership than is the majority which has won at Albany. It is also more likely to know its own mind, and to act together for the common safety. At any rate, llarrisburg saw no such scandals as that which accompanied the withdrawal of Mr. Piatt; and the Pennsyl vania Independents contained no men whose character and record would give credibility to charges of bribery. Mr. Robertson probably did his best in his difficult task of managing such material as he had, but he did not deserve the credit of the measures which finally broke the deadlock. Mr. Phillips and Mr. Turk took the initiative which led on to victory ; and to Mr. Itobertson is due merely the creditof know ing a good plan when he saw it, and neither re fusing it nor claiming the credit of it. On the other hand, the New York Indejtendents are fortunate in having rid themselves of the politi cal incubus which those of Pennsylvania have to slay at some future time. Mr.'Conkling is dead, politically ; Mr. Camerc;, still sits in the Senate, although without a colleague of his own way of thinking, and cannot be disposed cf un til hjs term e*jurtai,— American. —lt is reported that the Chinese Government is about to close the school at Hartford ; that all Chinese students and their Chinese teachers have beeu ordered to return to their native country. Such an order is a natural sequence of the great change of policy now taking place in China. This Empire, like that of Russia, is turning its back on Occiden tal ideas, and is peeking to get back to the old paths of national government. And perhaps both are quite in the right. Every country must grow from within. The amount of whole some stimulus it can receive from foreign na tions is limited. The danger is that in trying to adopt their civilization it may achieve noth ing but a lifeless caricature, or may import n hortun siccus of foreign notions «utl methods which have no root in its own soil. We do not doubt that there in a standard in these things, by which our owu civilisation is better than that of China, and the civilization of England or Germany than that of Russia. Hut China and Russia must win their way to the higher level through their history aud experience. No one can import these gains of our civilization into other countries, as if in bales or buckets. We would rather see China exhibit this natu ral jealousy, than see Japan abandoning all her own history and character in order to make herself a second rate copy of Europe or Ameri ca. —' The doctrine of Presumed Dedi cation of Private Property to Public Use in It.i Application to Railroads" is the title of a pam phlet bv George Ticknor Curtis. The writer undertake* to show that railroad property is private pro|>erty, and that without an express reservation of authority for that purpose the State is powerless to protect the interest of the jiublie against ruinous exaction and imposition in the matter of freight and passenger charges. As the contrary doctrine h»s been ajltnned by the Supreme Court ftf the United States, as well tw by Inferior tribunals, and as it has been act ed on repeatedly by Legislatures, it may be re garded as so well settled that railroad corpora tions and their paid attorneys cannot expect to accomplish much by arguing against it except to befog anil mislead the public in general and law-makers in particular. But in this they will undoubtedly fail. Mr. Curtis says the most that can lie said on the monopoly side of the question, but his arguments are not .likely to avail much against principles firmly settled by the courts. Besides advocating their, legal rights he appears as the champion of the purity and virtue of corporations, lie asserts thai the greatest danger to which the OQUulry is exposed is n<»t corporation but political corruption. "If I were to undertake," he says, "to point out the greatest actual |>eril to our ]>olitical institutions I should place it in the increasing number of voters who are willing to sell their votes, m the character of politicians who are willing to buy votes for money and in the sources from which money is drawn. A political party led by un scrupulous men, with the power of the federal government in their ham's, can do more to cor rupt the |ieople than all the railroad o.orj>ora tions in the laud." This is not a very jiower ful or ingenious defence of corporation honesty and morality in view of the notorious fact that the corrupt politicians whom .\Jr. Curtis de nounces are often the creature* and hire lings P.f tiofpormiuMK, and that the corporate Wealth of the country i M the most unlimited and lavish souroo of money needed for buying jioli tioians and votes, A SOLID Silver Case and a Genuine American Movement as low as $lO, at [ E.

The wise gentlemen who, for some inscrutable and mysterious purpose, are permitted to hold seats in the national legislature were under the im pression that the whole thing was a fanciful European notion which never could be natural ized here, and that such au addition to our mail facilities would be productive of, to say the least, very doubtful results. After two years of agitation in Congress and in the press the idea was finally put into legislative form and shape, and on May 1, 1873, the delivery of the cards to the postmasters of the country "was begun. Contrary to the expectations of Con gress the card was a great and immediate suc cess. Business men of all classes eagerly adopt ed it, and in the first year one hundred and ten millions of the little missives were sold, yield ing a handsome profit to the government. The revenues of the department aid not fall off as it was predicted they would, and, except in some few isolated cases, the cards were not used for improper purposes. An analysis of the number printed every year since their intro duction snows that their popularity, so fur from waning, is constantly on the increase. In 1874, for instance, the number issued was, in round numbers, ninety one millions. Four years later the number sold was more than two hundred millions, while the figures for the last fiscal year run up to the enormous amount of nearly three hundred and nine millions, which, esti mating the population at fifty millions, is an average of six cards per capita. —An eDtire term of 13 weeks can be spent at the Pine Grove Normal Acad emy for less than S3O.

How llie Slate in to be Jleuelll ed Attorney General Palmer, in closing an argumet before .Judge Pearson, at Harriaburg, on the Legislative salary case, said very pertinently : "If our view of the salary is upheld by your honors there will be no three weeks' delay at the Iteginning of the session to fix up committees ; no three days' work in the week, 110 adjourn ment from Friday to Monday ; and I hope some day one will rise up with force and courage to grasp this free pass business by the throat and pre vent members hazing up and down the State with pockets loaded down with free passes. Then better men will lie in the halls of the Legislature ; busi ness will be done and work will go on from Monday morning to Saturday night, as it did when your honor was a memlier, instead of its being a dis grace from January Ito June 6. Bet ter men will be found to make our laws, and better men will come up here who can spend from fifty to ninety days for fl,ooo salary, who cannot come here for one hundred and fifty days for any sum. Sir, I appeal to you, as a part of the great judiciary of this State, to strike down this iniquity and to support the law upon our stat ute books that men may know their duties, and knowing them, perform them."
