"a few years ago the number OF deaths in England
were greater than the average number in Schuylkill

''These figures show the necessity OF legislation

The TERMS of Office of the Prothonotaries
of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in
Philadelphia, Pittsburg, and Harrisburg are
about to expire, and the duty of making new
appointments will devolve upon the judges.
A petition is now being extensively signed in
this city asking that the present Philadelphia
Prothonotary may not be reapppointed on ac-
count of his implication in the naturalization
frauds of 1868. The manner in which the
naturalization business was conducted by the
Prothonotary was fully exposed by The
EVENING TELEGRAPH at the time, and the
public are well aware how nearly the frauds
then perpetrated came to restoring the Demo-
cratic party to power and to placing Demo-
cratic Judge upon the Supreme bench. AS to
the improperly of reappointing the present
Prothonotary there can be no possible ques-
ton, and with majority of Republicans
upon the Supreme bench, it is clearly the
duty of the judges to appoint not only men
of assured honesty and trustworthiness, but
staunch Republicans, against whose loyalty
there is not the shadow of a suspicion, to
these important offices.
For the last twenty years the Democrats
have by some means or other contrived to
maintain their control of prothonotaryships,
and it is high time that there was a rotation
in Office. The injury that can be done by a
Democratic prothonotary was sufficiently
demonstrated by the exposure of the natural
ization frauds in 1868, and the judges owe it
to themselves and the public that no oppor-
tunities should be afforded for the perpetra-
sion of anything of the kind again.

respect for the memory of the deceased will
be offered. There ought to be hearty re-
sponse to this CALL for nowhere in the coun-
try was General Thomas held in higher esteem
than in Philadelphia, and it is seminentlyproper
that there should be some public expression
of the resnent in which his memory is held.

FOUND At LAST

The individual who first nominated General
Grant for the Presidency has been found, and
he has received his reward. 1t is with great
satisfaction that we allude to this occurrence,
for, amid such multitude of claimants for
the honor, there was much danger that the
right person would be overlooked, and some
pretender obtain recognition of services that
he did not perform in the way of recommend
ing Grant to the notice of the American people
as the properest person that could be found for
the Presidency. The happy man to whose
prophetic forethought we are indebted for a
President whose principal policy appears to
be to pay off the public debt as soon
as possible is DR.. Samuel Bard, of Geor-
gia, who was on Wednesday confirmed by
the Senate as Governor of Idaho, in place
of Governor Ballard, whose commission
expires on the tenth of this month. 1T was
while occupying the editorial chair of the
Atlanta Neoo Era that DR.. Bard conceived
the happy idea of nominating Grant, and it is
to the credit of the latter that he has not for
gotten the recognition of his merits when he
was only the occupant of the obscure posi-
ton of General of the United States army,
but having found the man who first nominated
him, he promptly returns the compliment by
nominating Bard for the Govership of Idaho.
The prompt confirmation of the Senate ought
to convince DR.. Bard that neither Presidents
nor republics are always ungrateful.

The RIGHT SpIRIT.-The following
comments upon our railroad prospects,
breathe the proper spirit The press
should counsel harmony instead of melting
sectional strife, which can benefit no one
and may injure all. We are glad to OBJ
serve that our cotemporary Of the Argus
has set an example which older journalists
will do we'll to follow:
"The surveyors are at work on the
Puget Sound end Of this Railroad. In
the driving Of the first stake at Olympia
can be seen another step toward the con.
summation Of this great work. We do not
wish to stop and speculate as to whether
Olympia, Seattle, Port Townsend or any
other place will be the final terminus Of
the road. We have only time and heart
for congratulations. The people of Port
Townsend will rejoice and be glad with
the people of any and errry place on the
Sound at each event that brings nearer
tie fruition Of hopes long deferred. The
prosperity of one place is the advance and
prosperity of every other. The telegraph
announces other parties of surveyors as in
the field Or on the way. The dulIhcss felt
in business circles throughout the Sound
caused BY the depression in the price of
lumber cannot continue long. The home
market will improve aud with better prices
for grain and other crops, the demand for
lumber along the entire coast will in
crease"

ATTEMPTED RoBBERY.-Last Thurs

day two men, one somewhat advanced in
years, called at the house of Mr. P. Sloan,
who lives about four miles southeast of this
place, at some distance from the main road.
They made qnite a number of inquiries as
if they wished to purchase his farm, and
going away said thay would call again.
On the next day, after Mr.. Sloan and his
son had left for the city with some wheat.
previous day came accompanied by another
man of about equal age who was intro
duced to Mrs. Sloan as son of the elder
gentleman. They soon found that she was
the only person at home, and becoming more
bold said that they did not wish to pur-
chase farm, but their object was to obtain
what money there was in the house. With
remarkable presence of mind and stead mess
Of nerve for an old lady nearly sixty, sic
told them that since the attempted robbery
of cir house a number of years ago they
had never kept their money at home rela-
ting the particulars in such way as to
somewhat convince the desperadoes that
there was no money to be found on the
premises. Still they thought they would
search and upon that, commenced to ran
sack about everything in the house, not an
srticle of clothing box or draw escaped
their hand, but all was oyerhauled and
scattered around the floor. After a fruit
less search they left, and upon the return Of
those that were in the city they found chaos
reigning supreme, and Mrs. Sloan almost
helpless.
As soon as possible they returned to the
city and acquainted the detectives of the
facts. They, with their usual zeal. are on
the watch, and it is to be hoped they may
succeed in bringing them to their just and
merited punishment 1t seems that soon af-
tel her husband lett, Mrs. Sloan felt uneasy
and ere her visitors arrived had taken the
money from a drawer and placed it about
her person, which act saved tAe coveted root
of all evil.

DEAD BODY FoUND.-About moo

DEAD BoDY FoUND.-About noon
on Monday last George Charboneau, son of
Mr.. Louis Charboneau, discov cred the body
of a man in the water race north of the head
gate of Blanchard d Co.'S Grist mill, IN the
LIST ward. The news of the finding of the
body soon spread, and within few minutes
large number of our citizens were on the
spot, all eager to learn particulars and ifpos-
sible obtain some clue 10 the mystery. The
body was placed upon the bank, and found
to be in a decomposed condition, presenting
a sickening sight, having apparently been
in the water for week or ten days. He
wore suit of black clothes, and on his per-
son were found two family pictures, note
OF hand drawn by J. Radly, Waterloo, for
$4,000, on which $500 had been paid two
letters, pocket book containing $l15
and several keyes.
He was soon identified as Adolph Trettin,
a German by birth, about % years of age,
unmarried, He bad resided in the village
of Waterloo, working at the blacksmith
business for Mr.. Jos. Rauly, until the 9th
of last July, hen it is supposed he went
to work at Lowell station. He was la st
seen alive by Mr.. Radly on the 18th of the
present month, at which time Mr.. R. gave
him the $500 endorsed on the note found
on his person. No persons here remember
to have seen him. and it is highly probable
that he was drowned q short time after
reaching the city. A Coroner's Jury was
summoned on the case, and the verdict was
that the deceased came to his death by &C.
cidental drowning, Doctors Spalding, Cody,
and Eyer having in the meantime examined
the body and W ere unable to discover any
marks of violence,
From Mr.. Radly's testimony it would APP
pear that the deceased was a good steady
working man, not addicted to the excessive
use sfintoxicating drinks, and while the exact
cause ofhis death will perhaps always re-
main mystery, yet the general impression
prevails that he was drowned when under
the influence of liquor.

question cur citizens generally are called

possibilities if those favorable to the project
show the proper disposition, and come tor

object, and if we fail we will have the salts

HOUSE BREAKING.-One night Ii

House BREAKlNG.-One nj ght last
week the residence of Mr.. Birkbee, on Wash
ington Avenue, opposite the residence of
Mr.. Timothy Jones, was entered by gang
of thieves, who obtained admission from the
cellar through trap door. Mrs. Birkbee
and another lady were alone in the house,
and hearing the uoise, got up to make the
best defense possible.
The next movement of the thieves was 10
procure an entrance into Mrs. BIS bedroom,
and they endeavored to force the door open,
but she successfully resisted their efforts by
placing herself against 1t, while her COM
panion went up stairs and called for
help. There was such q commotiop
raised that the thieves took the alarm and
fed, leaving Mrs. Birkbce, mistress OF the
situation, having heroically and success faiiy
defended herself against the rascals. 1t
seems that the day before Mrs. Birkoee
obtained sc.ne money through post office
order, circumstance no,doubt known to the
thieves by some means, and TO obtain this
money was undoubtedly the object of their
midnight visit; but we are glad their evil
purposes were SO thorou g bly, frustrated
We understand the same night attempts
were made to enter several other dwellings
in the Sd ward, but the thieves did not sue
ceed in accompl shing their designs. There
is no doubt gang of these desperation
N our midst, and our citizens had better be
on the look out for th-m, and be prepared to
give them warm reception,
