SENATOR BfGLER.-Our excellent United
States Senator, Mr.. Bigler, is " Illuminating
part of this State on the subject of Lecomp-
ton-a dark subject at best, and one not capa,
bic of being made much clearer by his most
mping logic. We can sympathse with a
Representative who goes out to defend himself
against ordinary accusations but it is the
height Of impertinence for Il man to attempt to
Justify himself to those whom he has shameful
ly betrayed. Mr.. Biger does not believe in
Lecompton, which he denounced in advance !;
and yet he asks others to do so He dare not
deny that he was fully committed to the very
principle for which Douglas contends and yet
be has attempted with his puny arm, to raise
the axe against Douglas, only because the lat
ter has been true to his pledge. Weak, as well
as reckless, in his Inconsistency, this man would
now make test upon the Democracy Of the
very doctrines which he repudiated and then
swallowed. There can be no motive in all
these efforts but that of self There is no re-
gard for the President, whom Bigler has OPP
posed for twelve years" and there is GER
tainy no love for the South, which he has sue
cesSyely betrayed.
We trust some Of the Democrats who are
called upon to listen to Senator Bigler, will
not hesitate to remind him Of his record on the
Kansas question and especially of his " llu,
minaton" speech, in reply to Judge Douglas.
The latter is mine of mind and of originality

WEST BRANCH AND SUsQUEHANNA CANAL
meeting of the Directors of the West Branch
and Susquehanna Canal Company-the recent
purchasers of those Divisions of the Public
Works-was held at Jersey Shore, Lycoming
county, recently, and it was determined to dis
penSe with about one half of the officers that
had been heretofore employed in the manage
ment Of the Canals. The company will en-
ploy but one Superintendent to take charge of
the entire line from Farrandsyille to the june
tion, and but six foremen instead of thirteen
heretofore employed by the State. The sala-
res of all the officers in the employ of the com
pany have been reduced about fifty per cent.

How They RAISE THE MoNEY.-A Wash.
ingtOn letter writer mentions a circumstance
of recent occurrence in the General Land Office
which shows the m2dUs oPeraaft by which
money is raised to defray the distribution of
political documents. The Pennsylvania de
mocratic club have been fOr several months
past flooding the country with Kansas and
other political documents until lately, when
they came to wind up their affairs, they found
that they were 50, 600 in debt and had not
the money to settle with. They accordingly
set their heads together for the purpose of
concocting some plan by which they conld
raise the money, and finally agreed to appor-
tion the debt among the various departments
of the Government and demand two per cent
of each mans salary for one month. The first
demand was made on the employees in the
Land Office on Saturday last and each man
was compelled to pay two per cent. of his salary
for the month Of July, to raise the amount of
the debt set apart to the Land Office which was
$3.50, or take the consequences, which they
were given to understand would be instant re-
mOyal.

DEFEAT OF FRANCIS P. BLAIR.

The contest for member of Congress in the
st. Louis District, Missouri, composed of the
city and county Of St. Louis, has resulted in
the election of Barrett, the Democratic candi-
date, plurality Of six hundred over the Hon
Francis p Blair, Jr and of fourteen hundred
over Breckenridge, the American nominee A
very large vote, nearly 5000 was cast, being
about 5000 more than the Presidential vote
of 1856. This is certainly remarkable in
crease The New York Times says, "there
is no probability that the population of St.
Louis has been augmented very largely within
the last two years, certainly not to a degree
sufficient to justify so great an addition to its
vote. Last year the aggregate gubernatoriaI
vote was Ii $50 Barrett receives, in round
numbers, $500, against 1894 for Buchanan
in 1856, and 1898 for Stewart, Democratic
Governor in 1857. We hope there has been
no illegal voting. Although successful by a
plurality, there is an absolute aggregate major
uy IN the district Of more Hqn four Thousand
against BcrreH Much interest has been felt
in the st. Louis canvass throughout the Union
owing to the fact that Mr. Blair is an avow-
ed emancipationist, and in this sense the rep
reSentative of powerful party in Missouri
1t was understood that the Administration
strongly desired his defeat, and that no efforts
would be spared to accomplish it, That such
was the case the enormous vote fully shows"

The complete vote Of Leavenworth county, and
partial returns from three other counties show

ARRIVAL OF PENNSYLVANIA Coal BoATs.--
The Rochester Union of Monday says This
morning two canal boats, loaded with coal,
arrived here en- route for Buffalo. They came
from Pittston, Pa, through the North Branch
and Junction canals to Elmira, and then by
Seneca Lake and canals to Montezuma They
have cargoes of PittSton coal and are said to
be the first boats which ever came through
This coal has been brought here before by
being reshpped. These boats, met with con-
siderable difficulty in consequence of low water
and had twice to shift cargoes. The gentle
man in charge of the boats. Mr.. Lippucott,
left some large pieces of coal here as samples,
and goes to Buffalo with bis boats.
PittSton lies in the Lackawanna basin, about
nine miles from Scranton and we had supposed
that the coai was a similar article under diffe-
rent names and we incline to that opinion still
Mr. Lppincott asserts that the Pittston is a
different and superior article to the Scranton.
The latter has been the great staple variety
used here for some years past and it has varied
materially in quality that coming latest being
far the best. Consumers will rejoice at the
opening of every new route to the coal mines,
and especially one which gives an uninterrupted
water communication. When this is effected
and navigation we'll established, we may look
for cheaper fuel
