SEMI-OFFICIAL announcement having been made that an attempt to pass the cloture rule and the Force bill will not again Vie made, Senate and HOUH are now expected to get down to work and do the greater part of the work of the session within the next foui weeks. It is practically settled tlia' no occasion shall be given for calling a'l extra session. Hum MCGARVEY, of Reaver Meadi>w was last week appointed messenger i' the State Department to succeed John R. Parry, of Philadelphia. By this decision Governor Pattisou has recog nized the laboring class of the con fields and one who lias been prom j inent in labor circles for many years. Mr. McGarvey did valiant work in the late campaign and the po-ifinr given him is a just appreciation of his ! services. HON. WILLIAM WISDOM, Secretary of the Treasury of the United Stall , i died suddenly of heart failure at NY York on Thursday evening last. Hi was attending a banquet given by tli New York Board of Trade and short } j after concluding his speech he fell !• the floor a corpse. Mr. Windom > twice served in the capacity of Seere j tary of the Treasury, being first a : pointed by President Garfield. Hi ! was well acquainted with the duties • his office and was considered one ■ the ablest advisers of the preset.i 1 administration. The vacancy causei by bis death has not yet been tilled. : GOVERNOR PATTISON is taking a litth J exercise in writing veto messages. I i is the fault of the Legislature, how j ever, that he was given two oppoi tunities to do so, one on Monday am one on Tuesday. It was a foolish thing for the Republicans to send a | joint resolution to the Governor asking | the Senators from Pennsylvania to promote the passage of the Force bill. A veto was inevitable. Equally foolish I was it to pass a resolution to prim 10,000 copies of the Governor's in augural address. There is entirely . too much money wasted on special orders for printing, and the Gover l nor could not have a more favorable opportunity for expressing his opinion | on that subject than when he hat i presented to him a resolution to prim | extra copies of his own address. Education SprcHilinj;. One of the most interesting episodes in the history of the educational campaign was furnished by the annual meeting ot | the Ontario and Livingston Sheep-Breed ers' Association. For the first time in i the history of the country wool-growers ; passed resolutions in favor of free wool j They begin by confessing that their re solutions of past years demanding a I restoration of the duties of 1807 have | been stereotyped and admitting that they | have been sadly in error. Experience has convinced them of a truth of which economists have long had knowledge, that the tariff lias not kept down the I amount of importations of wool not | maintained its price. These wool-growers of Ontario and j St. Lawrence Counties have learned thai j tire prosperity of tire wool-growers de- j pends upon that of the manufacturers ol 1 woolens, and that "the American man ufacturer is seriously handicapped by tea j son of being compelled to pay an exorbi- 1 tant tax on every pound of clothing wool imported for necessary admixture, whih j all foreign countries of any consequents 1 have the benefit of free wool, and art ttius enabled to undersell our own man ufacturers." The result of our wool tariff, there- ! fore, lias been disastrous both to the J growers of wool and to the manufaetur j ers. The latter being driving out oi business by the extravagant costof thei> { raw material, the former have had n< ! market for the product of their sheep The manufacturers have been ruined b> 1 the excessive duties, and the farmers nm i only have not gained by them but hav< actually lost. This is what the wool growers say on the subject: The United States on the contrary, In | imposing a high duty on raw wool, liav not only destroyed our expert trade, bin j so throttled our manufacturers as to ruin j t >e market for domestic tleece and givi j t> the English, French and Germni manufacturers the cream of our mai kets for cloths. And these arc the last two resolutions of the series: EIOUTII. —The free importation of raw wool into the United States would knock outthe importation of manufactured wool len goods, and would revive the present depressed state of ourown manufactures, thus giving employment to labor here and creating an increased demand for oui strong wools for necessary admixture. NlNTH.—Recognizing the truth of the above facts, therefore, we, the member.- | of the Ontario and Livingston Sheep i Breeders and Wool-Growers'Association, in convention assembled, most respect- I fully petition Congress to place wool anil woolen manufacturers on the free list in order that their industries mav again thrive and assume that magnitude com mensurate with a nation of 6:1,00(1,(KM of people. When the wool-growers begin to rea lize the follies and iniquities of the exist ing tariff laws the leaven of education is working.—-V. I'. World. Subscribe for the TRIBUNE. The New Road Mil. The Country Road bill, which will be presented in the House this week, at Harrisburg, will provide for the ap propriation of about $1,C00,000 by the State to the building of permanent roads. This, it is said, will be distrib uted to the townships in a manner simi lur to the distribution of the public si hool appropriation, and is to be given with the hope that townships will contribute from i their local taxation additional money for permanent macadamizing. Tor this purpose the bill will probably permit ; townships to borrow money up to the constitutional bebt limit. In each town ship three supervisors are to be chosen, who will serve without pay, and who will employ foremen to oversee the gangs of road laborers. In each county an en gineer will be elected to pass upon the 1 road work in all the townships. A Patriotic Hog. "Speaking; of dogs." said Gen. Joe Bartlett a few evenings ago to Gen. McFeely, as lie reflectively sent the | smoke of his cigar curling up to the I ceiling, "do you remember that big I three-legged yellow dog called Budge* | that followed the army ol' the Potomac 1 during the early years of the war? ! I Wed, Budge was a character, if I may be pardoned the expression. lie was ■ a patriotic dog. too, for he was one of the first to go to the front in 1801, with J the three-inoutas men of New York, of which he was a native. Budge was a ! terrible lighter. 1 remember, when the j troops were on the march to engage in ! the first battle of Bull Bun lie chewed up every rebel dog en route. Kvery man that wore the blue was Budge's friend and took it upon himself to see j that he had the best the camp and the country afforded. When the tight was j well under way on the plains of Man assas it was fun to watch Budge CII.IM' the half-spent cannon-balls ami shclis as they rolled along or plowed up tin earth/ It was while engaged in this I cheerful pastime that Budge lost his left forleg: a cannon ball took it clean off. We who took an interest in him were about that time too much en gaged to look after wounded men. much less a dog, therefore Budge was left on the field as we supposed to die or fall into the hands of the enemy. "Some days subsequent to the battle, when we had returned to our old camp ing ground, who should come limping | in on three legs, his tail wagging like mad with joy, but old Budge. Well, sir, some of the boys who witnessed the scene just shed tears over the tidclity and loyalty of that dumb brute. A surgeon of the Twenty-seventh New- York fixed up the stump, and in the course of time it healed. Budge was all through the Pennsylvania campaign, j and during the advance and retreat he j hobbled along, and during engage- I ments followed his favorite pastime, j chasing cannon halls and shells. Notli- I ing could abate his zeal in that direc tion. Budge followed the troops back to Washington, took part in the second battle of Bull Bun. tin l battle of South mountain, and then hobbled un til he reached Antietani. In the battle of the second day Budge chose to tak part in the conflict on our right, and seemed to enjoy it. He wa< very busy that day, and had got so that lie could make good time on three legs. He had plenty of balls and shells. I can tell you, to look after, too. When the fight was over along in the afternoon Budge was missing. The next morning in-' passing through the terrible 'cornfield* in search of our dead and wounded soldiers some of the buys ran across the lifeless body of old Budge, and by his side was the wounded member of the brigade who bad been in the habit of feeding him. Budge, he said, remained with him w hen the rebels swept through j the cornfield in one of the numerous! 1 charges made. Budge defended him ! against what he knew was the assault or an enemy, and was shot down, loyal to the last to the cause, the 1 old Hag, ami the constitution, and the union, too, if you please, if lie was nothing but a dog."— N. Y. Tribune. Irrigation in Idahu. I Idaho territory has 2,000 miles of j Irrigating ditches. The Bhl Was Withdrawn. In Jacksonville, Tla., in the Winter of 1848, an auction sale of the personal estate of a deceased planter, compris ing some seventy or eighty slaves and other "chatties," was held in the pub lic market-place. 1 was glad of the opportunity to see for myself how such things were done. On beginning the sale the auctioneer announced that 1 families would not be separated, but would be sold in "lots." After a num ber of "lots** had been duly brought to the block and knocked down to the highest bidders, a bright-looking boy was brought forward and placed upon the stand. The auctioneer at the same time called an old colored man among the crowd to come tip and stand beside the boy. He did so, and the actioncer then said: "Gentlemen, the old man is this hoy's father; he lives in the West Indies, and is a free man. He wants to buy the boy and take hint to bis home and make him free. He bids SKM>, which is all the money he has." The intent of this statement was evi dently to discourage any advance on that hid, and it touched a sympathetic : chord in his audience. 'i'he crowd watched the proceedings for a minute or two in silence, while the auctioneer dwelt upon the hid of S4OO, and was calling it off for the third and last time, when from the outskirts of the crowd, , a voice bid "Fifty." Kvery eye was at once turned in the direction of the j bidder, who was a rough, dissipated looking fellow, atypical slave-trader in appearance. The auctioneer paused a moment, looked annoyed, and then repeated his previous statement con cerning the old man, emphasizing the remark that $-100 was all tin' inonov lie had. "And now," said lie, "I am bid four and fifty." From a dozen voices came the cry' "Withdraw your hid!" The i bidder growled in a surly refusal, sav ! ing lie "wanted that hoy, and has as I good a right to bid as anybody." "Four I hundred and fifty" came slowly from the lips of the actioncer. 'The shouts of "Withdraw your hid!" w ere repeated in angry tones on every side. •Well," said the bidder, "I withdraw it." I The auctioneer quickly went hack to : the original bid, on which lie dwelt j j two or three times, when down went ! his hammer. "Sold at four hundred. 1 Old man, the boy U yours; take him down." The crowd cheered, ami the principal figure in this little drama, j who, the moment before, had been the i j picture of despair, hurried down from j i the staud smiling and happy. ■ y wr J- t--jmm- H.
