Tbe first National meeting, which may be said as giving a Na tional character to tbe party, was beld in La Fayette Hall, Pittsburg, Feb. 22, 1856. General John C Fremont was then and there nomina ted as tbe first Republican candidate for President and quite appropriately he Las been invited to be present and preside at the celebration. Many others of the living public men wbo took part in that first Convention are expeoted to be present, and taken all together it will be a most notable oc oasion, as reviving the memories of the past and marking tbe progress and trials of the party as well as tbe benefits it has conferred upon tbe Country. TQK Supreme Court of Nebraska has made an interpretation oi th* law fixing tbe liability ol liquor sellers which is likely to add enormously to tbe difficulty which saloon keepers have experienced in securing bonds for their business. It is in effc£t,tbat not oaly are saloon keepers- responsible for damages caused 'by s man to vboee drunkeunesft they have con tributed by selling liquor lo him. but that their sureties are equally respon sible also, and that their responsibil ity continues so long as a man is in capacitated for work by reasuu <>' his drinking. Tbe liability thus indicat ed is so far-reaching that it almost cooetitntes a lien upon tbe property of a man who is surety for a saloon keeper, and it will doubtless resnlt io a marked decrease in the liquor sell, in? resorts in that State — Raf'trnan 's Journal. — A singular notion, savs the Der. rick, prevails in some quarters that tbe buroiag of gas absolutely con sumes or annihilates tbe substance and for that reason no flue is ueces aarv f-'»m a natural gas fire.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—A large number of re»olutiona aud petitions were preseuted and appropriately re ferred. Tbe Post-office Committee reported adversely upon Senator Beck's proposition to reduce letter postage to one cent, and the report was placed upon tbe calendar after some discussion. The Senate then took up tbe Blair Educational bill aad Mr. Morgan spoke in opposition t»> it "Such unlimited, unrestricted, un guarded, unjust powers, backed with Bach untold millions of mooev as this bill conferred upon tbe Secretary of the Interior," be said, "had never be fore been confided to such an officer —a mere clerk of the President " Mr. Blair spoke in defease of the bill and Mr. Evarts announced his in tention to speak upon it tomorrow. Bills were introduced in thb Senate as follows: By Senator Paddock—Directing the Secretary of the Treasury to pur chase sites and cause to be erected pnblic buildings for the exclusive use of post-offices in all tow us where the gross postal receipts for the three pre ceding years have exceeded $lO,OOO per annum. The cost of the site and ; building in any town is not to exceed the aggregate gross postal receipts for three years._ All towns bavi-iK first-class post-efficea are ' excluded from the operations of the bill. By Senator Cullom—Tbe bill in troduced in tbe House by Representa tive Henderson, of Illinois, for the construction of the Hennepin Canal and appropriating s,>'Jo 000, therefor By Senator Quay—Granting pen sions at the following rates to persons in the military or naval service of the United States confined in Confeder ate prisons: Thoseeonfiued more than two and less than six months, half pension; six and less than twelve mouths, three-quarters pension; twelve months or more, a total pen sion. It also grants an allowance of $2 per day to prisoners of war for each day coufiued. By Senator Ingalla—lncreasing to $3O per mouth tho pension for loss of an eye, to $.35 for loas of a hand or foot, to $4O for lon of au arm within six inches of the elbow or a leg with -10 six inches of tho kueejoint, and to $45 for loss of au arm within six in ches of tho shoulder-joint or a leg within eight inches of tbe hip-joint Also, granting a pension at the rate of $8 per mouth to all persons wbo ] served not less than sixty days in tbe j late war, and increasing all soldier's j pensions below per month to that amount. The pension of minor chil- i dren is increased to $5 per month, and ! tbe Arrears of Pension act is repeal- | ed. -—Congress is slow to proposo, and tbe States even slower to ratify amendments to the Constitution, but the one about to be reported to the House changing the time of the an nual meeting of Congress to the first Monday in January,and m akin if each Congress expire on December 31 in stead of March 4, has so much to commend it that there ought to be no doubt of its adoption The De cember session of Congress ia practi cally wasted time, and might as well bd abolished; but tbo merit of the amendment is that it will convene each Congress within two months of its election instead of thirteen mouths as now.acd prevent thetild Congress from legislating alter tbe p«op!e hav« chosen a new one. The present method by which each Congress holds a three-months session after many of its members have been re, fused a re-election, and have, there fore,uo sense of responsibility to their constituents, is a most pernicious one. The Senate repassed tbe proposed constitutional amendment making April 30 instead of YUrch 4 inaugt>> ration day and making the same day in odd years the la>-t day of each Con gress. The latter part of this amend ment antagonises the proposition (lending in the House to make oa«& Congress terminate in ih«* December after a new one is elected. The Sen ate amendment will perpetuate the pernicious custom of having each Congress serve one seasioa alter its successor is elected, but the House proposition cures that evil and is. therefore, much to be preferred April 80 is a much better day hiatorically and meteoroliglcally for tbe inaugu ration of a president th in the too fre quently cold and wet 4th of March. —Poll*.

Candlemas Day —Some of the Superstitions Connected With It. I Pittsburg Telegraph, K *b. a. J This ia Candlemas Day | It ia tbe feast of th»» purification of the Virgia Mary, aad is very strict ly kept m the Romiu Catualic , ChurcD. A'l the caudles to be used in servi ces throughout the year are blessed on th it d y—hence tbe name. The 01 aof the celebration is bur ied lu antiquity One story is tbat ; before tbe Christian era tae Komaus i were in tbe babit of burning candles on this day to tbe goddess Februa, the mutber of Mira. Pope Sergine, when he ascended tbe ecclesiastical throne, saw that it would be useless to p O.jlbit a practice of so loug stand ing. tie therefore turned it to Cbris j tiau account by eqjoining ,a similar offering of caudles to the Virgin, i The candles were supposed to have the effect of frightening I be devil and all evil spirits away from the persons I wbo carried them, or from the houses ' in which they were placed At Rome, tbe Pope erervyenroffl ciaies at tbo Candlemas festival iu tbe beautiful cbapal of the t|uiriual When he has blessed the caudles he distributes th-iin with his o\vu hands among those in tbe church, each of whom, going singly up L 0 him, kneels to receive it Toe cardinals go first: then follow the bishops, caunous, pri ors, abbots, priests, etc., down to the sacristans and meanest officer of tbe church. The superstition that the ground hog comes forth on Candlemas Day, and if the sun be shining, goes back ; to stay for six weeks more of winter I weather, is probably derived from pagan time?, as uo recoid can be found of its origiu. If there is any truth in tbe legend, the winter should soon break up this year. This morning was very dull and cloudy, aud there was but little chance for tbe animal to see his sha dow if he depeuded upon the sun to do so. The festival of Candlemas, at what ever date it took its rise, has beon designed to commemorate the church ing or purification of Mary, and the candle-bearing is understood to refer to what Simeon said when he took the infant Jesus iu b's arms and de clared that he was a light to Gentiles. Thus literally to adopt aud build up on metaphorical expressions was u characteristic procedure of the middle ages. Apparently, ia consequence of tbo celebration of Mary's purification i y candle-bearing, it became custom ary for women to carry candles with them, when, after recover from child birth, tbey weut to be, as it was call ed, churched. Cleveland and the Cathpllcs. The Washington Xjritic publishes the opinions of the local clergy on President Cleveland's action in send ing a jubilee prcaeiit to the Pope They generally agree that it was iu bad taste on the part of the President, l#r. Little, pastor of Assembly Pres byterian Church, where Civil Serv ice Commissioner Lyman attends said: "I think the action of tha Baltimore ministers is commendible. I regard Mr Cleveland's sending the gift to the Pope as a direct bid for the Catholic vote of this couutry It impresses me as an acknowledgement of the hi . erachy, and the reply of the Pope af fords an entering wedge to influence the Catholic vote tiucb a thing as H part of the country being influenced by outbid* pressure, and especially that of a church, is inimical to the principles of this republic The lial timore clergy did not intend anv bos tilty to th« Komnn Catholic Church, but they saw in Cleveland's actiou a menace to the principles of liberty of tbe ballot ". Dr Butler, of tbe Memorial Luth eran Church, aDd Chaplain of the Uni ited States Senate, said: "It was done for political effect, and for that reason will, I think, be looked upon with disfavor by the Protestants of the country. They hav« no feeling against the Churcb of Rome, as a cburch. bot they will disapprove of tbe recognition by the President of the bieracby." The Beaver County Committee Does Business. BEAVER, February 1 —The Repub lican County Committee met here this afternoon to hear the report of the committee appointed at the last meeting to divide the county into 'l5 districts, in order to meet the arrange menta made at New Castle several weeks ago for the nomination of a Congressional candidate.
