J. J. Rovi.k, !'-• C. Roisn, Secretary. Chairman, i THE great unterrified were in full possession of the City of Harrisburg on Tuesday niglit. JAMES B. STRAXAUAN, of Mercer. County, was yesterday appointed Deputy Attorney General by Secre tary Harrity. HON. JAMES KEKH, who was yester- J day re-elected Chairman of the Demo- j cratic State Committee, has attested his eminent fitness for that respotisi- j ble post in a conspicvtous way, and tlie committee lias acted wisely in recognizing the fact. COMMITTEES in legislative bodies re present a scheme for the division and specialization of labor. That it lias been carried to a high degree of per fection in the Legislature of Penusyl. vania may be judged from the fact t l.at there are iff! standing committees in that body, with about 2d members each; or 000 committee places to be tilled by 204 members. THE decisive vote by which Senator Cameron carried both branches of the Legislature Tuesday shows the thor oughness and effectiveness of party drill. It was impossible to organize successful revolt, and there is no doubt that the action of the Senate and House in joint session will con form to the separate vote. There was reason enough for opposition to the return of Senator Cameron on the part of ovet-loyal partisans; but, un fortunately for them, the ground of their objection was also the ground for his most conspicuous claim to pub lie favor. HON. GEORGE BANCROFT, the vener able historian of the United States, died at Washington, D. C., oil Satur day last in the nintv-first year of his age. Mr. Bancroft's long life was one of useful labors aud well earned honors. From the outset of his career lie was a devoted and pains taking student of history and accu mulated vast stores of knowledge that were in after years abundantly I utilized. But he was not a historian j alone. Being at one time a promi nent member of tlie Democratic party he had filled many places of high trust and rendered conspicuous good service to the Government in every ' one of them. THERE are over 2000 vessels in the ' lake fleet of the United States, with a carrying capacity of 820,000 tons and a value of 858.000,000. More than one-half of these vessels are propelled I by steam, and their freight capacity has been trebled in the last ten years. This is tlie fruit of unrestricted trade between the States, and it is also a guarantee of cheap transportation Vie \ tween the West and the sea board.' W hen our Government and the Cana dian Government shall get tired of quarreling about fish, and of playing the fool by establishing hostile tarifts, a very advantageous trade for Perm sylvania will immediately result. Wu want the Canadian lumber, ore and barley; they want out- coal, coke and mauutacturedproducts. Itouly needs to pull down the fence. THE grist of Australian ballot bills that has gone into the legislative hop per this month is something to make the advocates of that method of vot ing smile all over There is probably not a Legislature now in session which lias not got this subject before it in some shape or other. In States where two years ago bills enacting the system were allowed to lie on the table with scarcely any notice, it is now the most interesting subject. Men who wore formerly opposed to it are found heartily in favor of it to day. The result will be that an Aits tralian ballot law will be in force in nearly every Northern State before the next Presidential election. In States where the method has al ready been adopted amendments are being considered sons to simplify and render it more practical. The Indian Policy. This threatened Indian war should ;be the last. Sixty-two millions of peo ple should be able to compel peace with less than 60,000 hostiles. But it is ' said that if the Indians make war upon the whites, the whites must make war upon them. That is true, if all means to conciliate have been exhausted, but so long as peace with the Indians is pos sible—war with them should be impos sible. But something always precedes Indian wars,and something disgraceful preceded the present one, if the testimony of a cloud of witnesses, among them being Governor Foster and the seriously wounded Catho lic Missionary of the late battle, can be relied upon. These many witnesses all testify to the same effect—to the effect that the Indians went to war because they, their wives and their children were starving, and because they preferred quick death by the sword rather than slow death by hunger. There is now no chance to doubt that there were insufficient rations doled out to the Indians; that in their desperate, suffering state they became ready victims j to the religious mania craftily inspired j by their leaders, and that preparations for war were the sequence. The Indian I officials at first stated that the rations issued wore ample; then, when it was j proved they were not, that the appro priations were inadequate, but to this latter charge Senator Allison, Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, re- j plies by showing that the appropriations , were entirely sufficient. Between the ap-! propriations made and the money spent there is a great distance, and even be- ! tween the Indian Bureau and the Indian j Agents there is a vast distance. The money for feeding the Indians was ap propriated by Congress, was paid under the order of the Indian Bureau, but the . food did not reach the Indians. Nobody , with authority to speak knows where it I went, though the Indian Agents should be I required to testify to their knowledge re garding it. It is possible, if not proba ble, that their testimony, if it presented ; the whole truth, would settle the ques tion of where the money went. That is a question which it will greatly become j Congress, that appropriated the money, and the Indian Bureau, that disbursed it j among its agents, to have satisfactorily j answered. The country expects it to be answered. Behind all Indian wars will be found j some impelling cause, but it has rarely : happened that behind any there has been a cause so disgraceful to the country as that which had its bloody sequence at Wounded Knee. The time has gone by, if it ever was, when the country believed that the o nlygood Indian was a dead In dian. The Government has had a good many reminders lately to the effect that its In dian policy—-that of surrendering its con trol of and responsibility for the Indians over to agents, who are too often selected for mere political reasons—does not meet with the entire and cordial sympathy of the country. The Wounded Knee affair should be the cause of such universal in dignation and protest as to render im possible a continuance of the old policy, and to usher in one based upon human ity, justice and peace.— Phila. Ledger. Tom River*. Tom Hi vers killed by a railway train V 1 suppose it had to be; Tom wasn't of any great account Since the day that General Lee Threw over the light and surrendered And turned Grant's army adrift To strrggle to the North again. Ah, well, there's many u rift , In the rock of hardy persistence Before a success is made; Tom came back with a shattered arm j And his left eye in a shade. Yet I remember the night that Tom, Together with Brown and me. Was stretched out on a Southern cot— 'Twas In eighteen sixty-three. I think it was after Port Hudson; Young Brown was crazy and daft; He cried for "mother" and "sister," And shouted and yelled and laughed. j Until 111 vers and I would rather Have been in the battle's range Than to hear his mournful raving That stopped at the word "Exchange !" ! In less than an hour, when the surgeon Had picked us by choice and lot. Brown was passed, but a tieket fell On the sheet of Rivers' cot. And Rivera stepped on the broken floor. With his left arm hanging down, Took the ticket and turned it once, Then fastened it right on Brown ! We all got buck. But young Brown and I Were carried on fortune's prow, While Tom went down—but who can say That he is not higher now ? John J. Mechan tn Frank Leslie's Illustrated. IbittiHon's I iiaugttrat ion.

The oath of office was administered to the Governor Viy Chief Justice Pnxson and immediately signed, whereupon Eieut. Governor Davies declared Robert E. l'attison Governor of the Common wealth of Pennsylvania. The announce ment was received with a great cheer bv the thousands of people present.
