A LIVELY debate has just taken
place IN the British Parliament over
message from Queen Victoria, asking
Tor an increase of the pension of her
son, Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburg,
who is about to marry the Grand
Duchess Maria of Russia. The min
Istry introduced a bill fixing the
amount at 1925, 900 annually. When
1t IS considered that the Queen herself
has an annual salary or income ofover
tlcO millions of dollars in hard cash.
and that this impecunious young man,
Alfred, enjoys yearly allowance of
$75, 1000, it would seem that the con-
Germ ought to be self-sustaining. The
present royal family of Great Britain
are paid out of the public treasury
pensions and allowances amounting
to nearly $3,0OO,OOO. Notwithstand-
ing a rigorous protest against it, Prince
Albert's little bill passed, so that he
is not likely to starve, at least for
some time yet. In view of this roval
rapacity, is it to be wondered at that
the hard-fsted workingmen of Eng
land are terribly in earnest over this
wholesale plumber of their unrequited
toll

THE crime ofembezzlement or theft

THE crime fembczzlement, or theft
of the public funds by radical officials,
has become 4 matter of so frequent
occurrence, that the surprise created
even in a case of enormous magnitude
soon vanishes from the popular mind.
1t is only two years since George o.
Evans and his unknown accomplices
robbed the people of the State of a
quarter of a million of dollars, and yet
his peculation was nothing more than
a nine days wonder and had entirely
ceased to be a subject OF public dis
cussiOn until it was recently revived
by n decision of the Supreme Court.
1t will be recollected that when he
was indicted in the Dauphin County
Court for embezzlement, Judge Pear
son decided that Evans was not a
''pUbic officer" within the meaning of
the Act Of Assembly, although John
w. Geary had appointed him in pur-
suance of an act of the Legislature,
and that in consequence of this hair
splitting decision, Evans escaped the
penalty of the law The case was
taken to the Supreme Court and that
Court has given an opinion which de-
clares that Evans 1cGS public officer
and as such was amenahle to the law
which he had violated. If he were in
dicted now as a defaulting public Off
Ger, his counsel would of course plead
the statute of limitations, and the jury,
under the instruction Of the Court,
would be bound to acquit him. On
the other hand, if a Judgment is OBJ
tanned against him in a civil suit for
the full amount stolen by him, no part
of it, or at most but a mere pittance,
could ever be collected. This is the
disgraceful end of the celebrated
Evans case, and to this complexion
has it come at last. While Evans
thus escapes punishment, and while
the State loses her money, she has the
poor satisfaction Of knowing, from
this decision of the Supreme Court,
what the law applicable to such cases
really is. If the knowledge is valua-
ble, it has been dearly purchased.

DrMocRATtC STATE Con-. RooMs,


PHILADELPHIA, Aug. ,, 1878.
By direction of the Democratic State
Committee. ] announce that the Dem
ocratic State Convention will assem-
bic ut Wilkesbarre on the 27th day OF
August, inst, at 10 o'clock, a. NJ
1t is urgently asked that the Dem
ocracv Of the respective counties Oh
the Commonwealth Will at once or
gauize for the approaching canvass.
Cnrr,u,tfon and violence Of every de-
scription were practiced by the Radi-
Gals in almost every part Of the State,
at the last State election, and thus
was nuIlified the choice of the people
Of the State TO accomplish this the
ballot-box was polluted, fellow-citi-
zens, by the use Of money and the
practice of all kinds Of fraud. A rad
ical governor and a radical legisla-
ture. in consequence, were chosen.
A vigorous effort must be made to
prevent repetition of these gross
outrages, and it is believed by an i'm
mediate and united struggle, and
through organization Of the party,
that this result, so desirable, can be
accomplished. 1t is the duty of every
Democrat to make an exertion to this
end.
The State Committee unanimously
instructed me on giving the foregoing
notice to the Democracy Of Pennsyl-
vania, to earnestly call the attention
of the people to the political condition
/ of Louisiana. In complying with this
/ direction, and expressing the wish of
| the Committee, the Democratic party
/ of the Commonwealth is invoked to
| take such action in its County Con
ventions, as will, when the State Con-
vention convenes, enable that body to
declare the opinion and Judgment OF
( the Democrats Of Pennsylvania in re-
gard to the infamous acts Of the Fed
eral Executive in subjugating, over
throwing, and destroying the rights of
the Southern people of a sovereign
State by violent, unlawful and uncOn-
stitutional means; using Federal troops
and the usurped power of a Federal
Court to determine and decide Ques-
tiOns Of State franchise, constitution
and government. Such fragrant usurp-
atiOns Of Executive powers have never
before been exercised in the past eX-
istence of the Republic, and is the
fruit of false elections. upheld and
confirmed by the President of the
| United States.
The Democracy of Pennsylvania
deeply sympathize with the people Of
Louisiana, and proclaim in advance
| that one Of the issues before the peo-
pie Of the country will be, tree States
or subjugated provinces, the right Of
the people to govern themselves, or
the power of the Federal Government
Federal troops, and Federal agents to
govern the people of the States by
force, and without law, right, or CON
stitutional sanction.
Will the people not pause and re
fleet that they may see to what form
Of government we are, with certainty
drifting, and apply a remedy before it
is too late Let the executive, leo
islative, and judicial powers of the
| government be quickly and ffxedlv
restored to the limits within which our
Revolutionary Fathers prescribed they
should be exercised

THE proprietors of the Graphic
newspaper addressed a letter a few
days ago to Benjamin F. Butler, gen
erously offering him a free passage to
Europe in the monster balloon along
with Professors Wise and Donaldson.
In his reply, Butler returns his thanks
for the invitation, but declines the
hjgh honor If Benjamin would only
undertake the journey upon the eX-
press condition, that if he is landed
safely on terra ti1'Dla on the other side
of the Atlantic ocean, he viii never
more revisit this, 'the freest country
on the face of the earth, ," his ascension
would call forth one universal PRAYER
for his safe deliverance. But he is
intent just now on being the next Gov
ernor of Massachusetts position
for which he has no peer, since he
more completely represents the pecu-
liar morals of Massachusetts radical
ism than any other man within her
borders. The political fitness of things
could not be more practically illus
trated than by the election of Butler
as Governor of Massachusetts.

AN AWFUL SPECTACLE-THREE MEN
BURNED TO DEATH AT AN OIL WELL.-A
terrible affair occurred in Butler county on
nature that The community where it occur
red will be appalled, at the thought for a
long time tC come. Messrs. Preston s.
Co, had been engaged in boring for oil
near Nlillersburg, but success was not an
ticipated so soon. Work was about TO be
suspended oil Saturday evening, when sud
denly and without the least warning the
belt was struck and volume of oil rushed
to the surface and shot up two hundred
feet above the derrick. The cheer that
greeted the success was of short duration,
for the oil took fire and mighty mass of
roaring flame spread itself far up in the
heavens and threatened destruction to all
persons near. With ole wild cry of alarm
the spectators began to run from the ter
rible yet beautiful sight when it was sud-
denly remembered that three men had been
at work near the derrick. An agOnized
shrek from a woman told the story and as
the low moaning cry of horror spread. those
ty i'll frantic effort to rescue the victims
at the well. But it was too late. When
found the remains of the men were almost
consumed and naught but masses of quiv-
ering flesh from which an horrible odor
arose, remained of the strong men full of
health and hope an hour before. The ter
nble affair has cast a gloom over the place
and the awful occurrence is the theme of
sOrrOwful conversation throughout the oil
