Special Ukiiai.ii correspondence. Pottsville, Feb. r. There is much moro destitution in this olty of wealth and refine mmt than many imagine. Wo have a num her of bonovolcnt societies hero who do good work among tho dlstiosscd, but tho demand upon them is so great that there is a large number of worthy cases yot unprovided for. It is in tho cities and large towns that most of the sutlering exists. In tho country places tho people aro moro in touch with each other, they discover aflllctions moio readily on ac count of more frequent intercourse and, as a inlo, the spirit of brotherly and sisterly lovo is strongor than among tho other classes. Pottsville is almost like the great cities in some respects. A lack of sociability make tho mnjority of tho residents stranrcrs to each other. Whtn Congressman Reillv returns to Potts- villohe will ho liko Eip Van Winkle. He will lind nis Uretchen and his dog gone, people who havo heretofore taken bis hand will stare at him nnd wonder who tho nun with tho hayseed in his hair is. Mr. Itclllv will no ilouot say, "Jlow strange! Sly con stitueuts don't seem to know their Conurc-fis mau"uud tho constituents will turn their backs upon him and say, "Hot. t on are not the champion we sent to I 'onirics. Our Relllv went to Washington to look alter ourintorrats nnd protect them. but. he not swa owed hv tho Wilson bill and died tbcro. Woaronow looking for his successor." His vote for the Wilson bill has nailed James B. Reilly's cofhn so tieht that dvna- mite won't open it. The mechanics hero who nio working half time and some no time at all aro bitter acaiost him and wero llcillv a candidate for Couaresa now the Democratic party wouldn't got enough votes to entitle it to representation on the ticket at tho next election, rottsvillo would give the largest vote lor tne uepubiicun candidate and pro tort ion ever cast in tho (own. Tho Wilson bill's success In the Demo cratic Congress has put new life into tho Republican ranks and Mr. Shccner has done well in announcing himself early. From present indication', lie will bo the Koimb- lican nominee, for Congress Souio of our leading Republicans wbo would liko to go to Congress, but who wero fearful of tho action of Congress and hesitated in announcing themselves, aro giving Mr. Shooncr credit for lorcilulit. Tho trouble in the locil Republican ranks is not healed yet, but as about thrio weeks must Mapse before the election takes place tho iioctors nave a chance to get in their work. THEY WERE READY.
