ReaHiieS Of the DemocracY.

The Philadelphia inquirer, as also letters
from Washington, state that the Demo
cratic majority in Congress have detcrm-
ined not to vote any appropriations for
any foreign missions which are or may
become vacant during Mr.. Fillmor's re-
maing term of Office. There are two or
three such now. Nor will any Office be
created this session which would throw
any additional patronage into the hands
of this administration. The Democrats
are hungry, and the repast will be small
enough for the multitude, husband the
crumbs as they may.
While the Democratic majority in Con-
gress withhold every thing from Mr.. Fill
more, let us see what they have in store
for General Pierce. The Philadelphia
Inquirer states that the following projects
are now in process Of incubation at Wash
ington, and may be expected to fasten
themselves on the Appropriation Bill, at
the heel of the session, viz:
/. An increase of the Presidents sala-
ry to S50,000!.!
<. Ihe construction OF permanent resi-
dences for the Vice President and Heads
of Departments.
3. An increase of the Secretaries sala-
ries, and
4. An increase of the salaries of our
Ambassadors and Charges abroad.
In addition to the above, it is openly
proposed to put ten millions Of dollars at
the disposal of the new President, under
the pretence of its being wanted in con-
nection with our foreign relations. The
Locoes are really playing the grab game
in earnest, and by Wholesale.

Robbery.

We learn by the Easton papers that
Mr.. Jos. Bowman of Carbon County, was
lately robbed of 500 while on visit to
that place. 1t appears that Mr. Is. visited
that notorious rendezvous known as the
Railroad" where he made the acquaint-
ance Of two "nice young men, " who made
themselves so very familiar that he invi-
ted them to take social glass, after which
he having shown his money in paying for
the drink, they became so atfcctionate as
to throw their arms around his neck, call
ing him "a bird of man." "a perfect
brick" &c. During this interesting per-
formance they relieved him of his pocket
book and yamosed. 500 reward is offered
for the money and thieves.

The Lieutenant General Bill.

The bill comforting the appointment of
Lieutenant General upon Gen. ScoTT,
passed the Senate few days since by
the strong vote of 81 to 12 1t is quite
probable that it will pass the House, for
it seems that some of his opponents, who
traduced him without stint and slandered
him without mercy while he was candi-
date for the Presidency, are anxious to
quiet their troubled conscience by voting
to the greatest living commander of the
age, and to the most pure and unspotted
patriot Of the age, an empty title We
do not think that Gen. Scott can thank
them for the hollow profession of prop
er sense of his services and merits, and
we know that bis real friends over the
country witness it with feelings of disgust.
Gen. Scott needs no such empty honor
at the hands of his enemies, and especial
ly of those who have been his most ran
dom maligners. The people will yet see
that justice is done to the man whom the
NATHAN should feel pround to honor

The citizens of Philadelphia having
made themselves not only ridiculous but
contemplate by their unremitted efforts
to prevent the construction Of any
railroad in Or through this state except
such as point directly towards their city
the capitalists Of the city of New York
have determined to teach them a lesson
which they will not be likely to forget
They propose to construct an air. line rail-
road from Washington to New York
This railroad willtouch neither Baltimore
nor Philadelphia, and over it the trip will
be made in half the time now required
BY this project New York will be brought
practically nearer than Philadelphia to
the southern states, and will have the fur
ther advantage of line of communica-
ton on which through travellers will not
be yexed and annoyed by change of
cars.

The Philadelphia Ledger tells curl.
Gus story in relation to a circumstance
which took place in the Quaker City, la.
tely, on the occasion of an interment of
deceased colored man, who had died pos.
sesscd of considerable property. The
deceased had married on his death bed
the daughter by former marriage of his
own wife, who had also been dead some
years. While the company were gather
ing for the funeral, white woman, with
two children, who had been living in all
other house belonging to the deceased, ar
rived, clad in deep mourning, and claim
ed admltt9nce as the wife of the deceased,
which admittance was refused. She re-
manned an hour in the street in front of
the house and followed the corpse to the
grave, although not permitted to go next
to the hearse, which she claimed as her
right. The claims of the two wives will
be the subject of a legal investigation, the
right of dover being in the case a SUBJ

The Galphins are Coming--0h he?

Congress, as will be seen by proceed
ings in another Column, has passed
Resolution to pay COL II. B. Wright mil
cage, and daily pay during the time he
spent in the contesting the right of Mr..
Fuller to seat in that body. Only 25
of the Democrats voted against the allow
ance. This act was followed by propositions
to pay various persons who have sought
to contest elections before Congress, dur
ing many years back. A resolution was
adopted to pay in one case back as far as
1911. The door being open all the little
Galphins may try to enter & share in the
spoils which seem to belong to the victors.
Mr.. Fuller has been asked to contest
the election ofCol. Wright We are pleased
to learn that he did not entertain the sug-
gestion a moment Assured though he
may feel of being paid mileage and daily
allowance in case of failure to get the seat.
he would scorn to make the effort. He
manfally met annoyance, but will not in
turn annoy. Once the voters elected him
to Congress in district where the Dem
ocratic majority was 5000 votes, and he
lacked only few votes of being re-elec-
ted. He bows with grateful submission
to their WILteS- Barre AaU0cate.

Acres Of P0yk.-A correspondent of the
Louisville Courier says that in East Louis
vile the five extensive pork houses have
FIVE or six acres of barrelled pork, piled
up three tiers high in open lots. There
are not loss than six acres which would
make eighteen acres of barrels if laid a
side by side, exclusive of lard in barrels
and pork bulked down in the five pork
houses, sheds, &c. Besides the above
slaughtered hogs there are five or six a.
cres of live hogs in pens.

Coyect0r Of tie P0t.-The Houesdale
Democrat says: "It is currently reported
among the polictical and personal friends
of Hon. Nathaniel B. Eldred, in this vi
cinity, that he will be an applicant of the
incoming administration for the Office of
Collector Of Customs for the Port of Phil
adclphia, and that he will most probably
receive the appointment. How much truth
there is in this report beyond the bare
fact that the Judge is seriously inclined
to get the place if he can, we DO not know
and We presume no body else knows. AZ
ter it shall be determined who are to be
the Heads Of the Departments, speculA-
ton will assume a tangible form as to
who will get the subordinate places. If
the judge desires to be Collector ct Phil
adelphia we hope he may succeed IN dis
stancing his competitors in securing the
prize. He has made an intelligent and
upright magistrate, though he offended
US last fall when he condescended to at
tend mass political meeting and to make
a speech thereat. Not that a Judge has
not right to play the part OF a politician
if he chooses. Whether he shall or not
is purely matter of taste, just as it is in
the case Of clergyman. Our view is that
it is well nigh as improper for Judge
to harangue party gatherings as it is for
a minister. However VIC bear no ami
mostly towards Judge Eldred on that ac
count, or any other, and we give him our
best wishes for his accession to the Col
lectorship.
But who shall succeed him on the bench
in case he shall leave it? Some say Hon.
N. N. Dimmick, Of Stroudsburg, others
Wm H. Dimmick, Esq, of this borough,
and others still, T NJ. Crane; Esq, of
this borough. As We do not happen to
be on the strong side in this district, it is
not worth while for US to say who ought,
or who ought not, to have it. Let those
who have the power to play the game as
they please not be disturbed while enga-
god at it-so all you wings, abolitionists,
fence-riders, and nothingarians, stand
back and maintain a respectful distance.
