The opening Of the LeEisIature-Rumorso of
Special Despatch 10 The Evening Telegraph
HARRISBURG, Dec. 31.-rhe Republican
members of the lower house of the Legislature
have nearly all arrived at the capital, in order
to be present at the preliminary caucus which
meets this afternoon at 2 o'clock. There is lit
tie or no excitement, although there all sorts
of rumors with reference to the organization of
both houses. 1t is said that Senator Buckalew
will not support Senator Wallace for the
Speakership, and that the seats of Senators
Dechert, Nagle, and Randall are to be contested.
The same source also gives publicity to the fact
that the Democracy will contest the seats of
several Republican members of the House, with
a view of controlling that branch of the Legis-
lature. The State Treasurer fight exctes no in
terest whatever, as the members come here
pledged to stand by the caucus. MIR. Mackey,
it is conceded, will receive the nomination, aad
the Democracy again show willingness to de-
feat him if some arrangement can be made by
which they will be benefited in some future
legislation. Messrs. Taggart, Irwin and Cole
man are still in the field, and will make des-
perate effort to have in charge the Treasury of
the Commonwealth.
Jacob Ziegler of Butler, is here pressing his
claims for the chief clerkship of the Senate,
and he will be followed to-day by Charles w.
Carigan and Jefferson Young, OF Philadelphia
both of whom are desirous of filling the same
position. The caucus of the Democratic Sena-
tors will not be held till Monday. Philadelphia
is TO be allowed five of the officers of the Senate,
and there is lively fight for the Sergeant-at-
Arms between John Ahern and r. j. McCunny,
both of that city. The question of publishing
record OF the proceedings is being agitated, and
it meets with general favor
RepubIicau Caucus of the House-James Webb.
of bradford, the Probable Speaker.
Special Despatch TO The Evenilg Telegraph
HARRISBURG, Pa, Dec. 31.-A meeting of
Republican members of House was held this
morning to discuss a method of organization.
1t was resolved to appoint committee to nomi-
nate officers. This looks to the election of
James Webb of Bradford, for Speaker. No final
caucus will he held until Monday. There is
reason to believe that the Republicans in the
Legislature will choose a new man for the State
Treasurer, rather than insist upon any objec-
tionable candidate who will disrupt the party.

Low wnter In the nerripac,

LOWELL, Dec. 3l.-The Merrimac river is
very low, and causes some anxiety for the
manufacturers as to their winter supply. The
flow of water is less than at any time since 1907,
and the reservoirs are exhausted. The utmost
economy in the use of water is enjoined on the
corporations by the agents of the Water Power
Company. The closing of the past six months
accounts of many of the cotton mills of this
city, Manchester Lewiston, and other places
are said to show a better condition than was
anticipated. The ice in the river is about nine
inches thick. The cutting of ice will begin on
Monday.

There is very brisk demand for money to-

siderable. The rates at yesterdays advance are
firmly maintained, but not materially changed
except in cases where loans are pressed by bor-

brokers are fortunately moderate in their de-
mands, though some effort has been made here
in connection with similar movements in New

Generals nt Odds-spscimens of PorlsIan Sell
correspondent of the London Doily Ne.cs
writes from the inside of Paris-
I'VE are by no means very happy family.
General Ducrot and General Blanchard have
had words. The latter in the course of the
dispute, said to the former, If your sword were
rs long as your tongue, you would be wonder
full warrior indeed Ducrot and Trochu are the
literary generals, Einoy and Blanchard the
fighting generals. 1t is reported also that
General Fave is to be superseded, although
his redoubt may be said to have saved
the army from greater disaster. While, how
ever, the military men differ among themselves,
they are all agreed in abusing the National
Guards, whom they irreverently call Les Char
cutiers-the pork butchers. When La Care
aux B9ufs was carried by Admiral Polhuan and
lowed in the rear. The Admiral and the sailors
were somewhat astonished to find that in the
order of the day hardly anything was said of
those who really did the fighting, but that the
pork butchers were lauded to the skies Gene
raj Trochu on this wrote letter TO the Admiral,
informing him that it was necessary for political
reasons to encourage theNational Guard.
while the battle was going on at Vilers and
Champigny, the marching bate lions of the Ma
tional Guard were drawn up almost out of shot.
An order came to form them into line. Their
commander, General Clement Thomas, replied
that this would be impossible, as they would
imagine that they were about to be taken into
action. Notwithstanding this, General Trochu
cOngratulates them upon the moral support
which they afforded him. 1t is not surprising
that the real soldiers should feel hurt at this
system of humbug. They declare that at the
next sortie they will force the Parsians to fight
by putting them in front, anc firing on them if
they attempt to run away. 1t must be remem-
bered that these fighting battalions consist of
young unmarried men, and if Paris is to be de-
Tended, there is no reason why they should not
be exposed to danger The Inhabitants of the
city seem to consider themselves a sacred race;
they clamor for sorties, vow to die for their
country, and then wish TO do it by procuration.
am utterly disgusted with the difference be-
tween their words and their deeds. The Mobiles
and the line have as yet done all the fighting,
and yet, to read the Paris newspapers, one would
suppose that the National Guards, who have
kept we'll out of all danger, have covered them
selves with glory. Since the siege commenced
they have done nothing but swagger about in
uniforms, and go in turns on the ramparts. They
have learned to knock a penny off a cork at a
distance of ten yards, and they have carried on
very successful campaign against the spar

That Shooting Affair.

Regarding the article of the Courier,
yesterday morning. on the shooting
affair on Sunday night. it needs to be
said of the ugly language. charges of
falsehood, and regarding the author
ship of the article in Mondays jour
NAL. that they were published in the
Courier after the reputed local editor
had full notice that Mr.. Randall was
not employed in the JOURNAL Office,
and that the information on which
the JOURNALS article was based, was
not derived from him.
IF young Hall is not budding ruff
fan, he is not indebted to the inf1u-
ence surrounding him at the Courier
Office, for the fact.
The probability is, that he was fully
satisfied with the publication of his
statementin the JOURNAL, for he saw
it before it was published, aud ex-
pressed himself satisfied with it. but
his father. who is the river editor of
the Courier, seized upon the opportu
nifty to ventilate his spleen, in disre-
gard of that fact.
There is more that might be said en-
this subject, but the JOURNAL has no
desire to follow it mp, unless the
Courier forces the matter further.

Of this city. was played yesterday at

appointed.

the Riversides, the first aud only
whitewash of the game.
On the other side, the Rockets, al
though they made two home runs,
were not able to get clean around be
fore the ball re- entered the diamond,
thus depriving them of little glory
to balance the white wash, while
Saner made two home runs. amid
load cheers, and Foster and Ipgle one
each.
The cheering was not all on one side
this time, the Marshall boys had their
adherents as we'll as the Riversides,
and at each good play they received
hearty cheers and applause.
The Riversides did some very poor
playing, partly by reason of some of
their members becoming excited.
The credit of the victory is due in
q great measure to the good playing
of the catcher and pitcher of the
Rockets. Some of the Riversides did
their usual good playing, but their
playing as a whole was nothing to
boast of. Some unusually strong bat
ting was done on both sides, eliciting
loud cheers.
The game was witnessed by q large
crowd of spectators, estimated by
some to number two Thousand people.
