The streets are thropged by thousands.
Never since the war has such display
been made here. The City Hall, where

For the first time in Pennsylvania there
is to be no election this year in October.
Under the new Constitution it takes place
on Tuesday, the Sd day OF November. In
consequence Of this change there will not
be such general curiosity throughout the
nation concerning politics in that State,
whose decision in October always has
had bearing upon the results in other
States. This year Pennsylvania will
vote on the same day with New York,
New Jersey, Delaware, and a dozen
other States.

Of the United States District Attorney,
the position held by the latc Mr.
Swoope, says;
"Thero appears to bc widespread
and crronousimpression in this latitude
concerning the lucrativeness OF the
U. S. Attorneys office. II may be
observed that the profits of recent
incumbents have rarely reached $4,000
per annum, the maximum allowed by
tho Government, and very frequently
not near that amount. Where the net
receipts run below $4,000, the incum-
bent Is the loser, ,and'where the receipts
exceed that amount, the excess, less
the necessary expenses OF the Depart
meut, Is required to be turned over TO
the Government. Tho only extra,
outside of this, allowed the District
Attorney, is n fec Of two per cent.

the sales of certain class Of seizures
Tho revenues from this source varies
from 81, 900 to 81 800 per annum, the
latter being the outside figure. twill

Tho recent revelations connected
with tho Dimmick. Krciler job to pass
tho usury bill reveals state OF mora's
among q certain class Of business men
as bad as that usually ascribed TO log
islators alone. That some bankers
should respond to q call to pass an in
quitous bill, having for It's purpose the
further oppression Of business men, Is
not surprising. But that 80 many
mon calling themselves respectable
should send money to q corruption
fund 10 o sad commentary upon tho
times. Every banker who for.
warded money to the treasurer ana
secretary Of the usury pool is as de-
serving Of public exccration as the leg
islative rooster and borer who "sct up
the job"
The best evidence Of the lack Of
merit in the usury bill is tho fac; that
the strongest arguments to be pro,
duced in .Ls favor werc the checks ard
drafts of the hungry bankers who
were seeking with Unsuitable greed
for more usurious interest. And the
whole affair looks like a concocted
scheme between hungry members from
whom tho usual sustenance OF th'
body had been rudely taken by thu
constitution, and the inscription
money lenders who werc clamorlne
for more interest on their "monish.'
There is not a.particlc a. Of difference
between the rooster, the lobbyist ant
tho banker in this entire shameless
transaction. In the investigation nov
going on, the entire list OF bankor
should be obtained and published II
the report of the committee. --Ldncas

THE ONLY SURVIVOR. An cxtraor-
dinary circumstance in the history OF
the country occurs on tho death of
Mr.. Fillmore. Never before since the
administration Of Jefferson has it hap
pcned that only one person was alive,
except the incumbent, who had filed
the Presidential Office. Andrew John.
son is now the only cx-Presidcnt liv.
ing and even he was not elected to
that Office, out came TO IL as Vice
President on the assassination of Mr..
Lincoln. While the younger Adams
was President, the elder Adams, JEFF
ferson, Madison, and Mouroe were
living. Whom Buchanan was elected,
Van Burcn, Tyler, Pierce, and Fill
moro were alive. When Lincoln was
inaugurated Van Buren,, Tyler, Pierce,
Fillmore and Buchanan were living
Within the past thirsy-seven years
seven Presidents have been elected
besides Grant. II is an extraordinary
fact that not one Of tho seven is now
alive.

BUTLER DID IT.--Such is the "slur'
put on Major General Benjamin Frank
lin Butler, by his Radical brethren,
when anybody alludes to the recent
Democratic victory in Now Hamp-
shire. Grants majority over Greeley
in 1872 was 5,749, and last year the
RAIDS carried the State by nearly 5000
and had majority of six in tho Sen
ate and 60 in the House. This year
the Democrats carry all. Weston,
Democrat, for Governor, falls about
800 behind the other two candidates,
and fails of an election by the people,
but he will be elected by the Legisla-
ture. All the leading Radical organs
are pitching into poor Ben, and if they
don't keep quiet the people will think
that Butler carries the opposition
party and the President and his cabi-
net in his brecches pocket.

AN INFAMOUS MEAsuRE-The Pitts
burgh Post says: The Apportionmcpt
Bill now before the Legislature is one
of tho most unjust measures OF the
kind ever proposed, and it should be
defeated. 1t is made exclusively in
the interest Of the Radical party, and
in defiance ofevery principle of justice,
and If il becomes law, it will abso-
lutely disfranchise more than onc.third
of tho Democratic voters of the State.
Districts are made in every concciva-
bic shape, 80 as to make it impossible
for Democratic majorities TO count in
the election of Senators and Repre-
sentativcs. 1t is so arranged as to
give the Radicals forty majority in
the House and sixteen in the Senate,
or fifty-six on joint ballot. Under no
circumstances, with fair apportion-
ment, would thcre be difference in
the numerical strength OF tho Legisla.
ture of more than six or eight. Of all
the infamous schemes Of gerrymandcr
proposed by the Radicals of this State,
this is the most glaringly infamous.
