From the Washington Capital.l
Poor Philip was taken considerably
aback by new member he invited to
his house to an entertainment he gave
to Wilkie Collins. The Hon. Lycurgus
Leatherlungs, from the Mill creek bot.
toms of PENNSYLVANIA, had been 10 =
dinner party at Welcker 5, and was con
siderably sprung when he reached
Mr.. Philips palatial residence. A few
glasses of choice old wine there COM
pleted his utter ruin. When he was
presented TO the celebrated English nov
elist, he seized his hand, and, holding it
firmly but affectionutely, he gazed with
intense earnestness in the face OF the
novelist. Al last, finding words. he said:

At this stunning information Wilkie
Collins put all his strength INTO fran

ALBANY, N. Y, Janury General
j. W. Hustled was elected Speaker Of the
Assembly. The Governors annual mes
sage was sent TO the Legislature yester-
day. The condition Of State affairs is
regarded as exceedingly gratifying The
debt is comparatively small. and with
proper economy may be paid in a few
years. During the past year it has been
reduced over 100000 The entire
funded debt, on the Both Of September
last, was $2l, l9l 1873 "a After deduct
ing unapplied balances, the tax levy for
the past year was nearly $4,000, 600,
being So, 10000 less than in 1872 About
Sc 600, 900 has been expended during tho
year on State prisons, in excess of earn
ings. The condition of public schools,
colleges and academies is very satsfacto.
nv. Action is recommended for regulation
of trust companies. During the fiscal
wear one bank discontinued business and
thirteen organized, eleven of which
commenced business He renews the
recommendation that general law be
passed defining the power Of the savings
banks, and repeating all special privi-
leges in the existing charter The num-
Der of emigrants arriving during the
year 1872 was 394,5sl; during 1873,
266,0I0. Attention is drawn to the de-
falcation in the State Treasury by 9. h.
Phelps Of over 100000. The Gov
ernor thinks there is not the slight
est ground for impeaching the integ'
rity of the Treasurer's deputy, and
that the defalcation was caused by
reposi1g too nuoh confidence in the
defsulter. He considers it vital to the
commercial ascepdRncy of New York
and the success of the canal system
that communication between the West
and Atlantic coasts should be improved
end increased; he suggests doubling
all the locks IN the Ksie eqneli be dis
courages the construction of proposed
ship canal to connect Lake Erie and
the Hudson: recommends legislation to
correct the proAigate management of
our railroad companies; suggests
amended statutes regarding EN-
bezllensptS, defalcations, etc. He
reflects severely on the careless ana
inconsiderate manner in which bills are
framed and passed near the close of the
Legislature. considerable space is de-
voted to currency and finances generally.
A specie basis is also favored. The
remainder of the message is devoted
chiefly to State and local subjects of not
much importanes.

THE WOULD BE CHIEF JUSTICE.

A rumor has prevailed at Washington
that the name of Williams would b.
withdrawn from the nominations fol
Chief Justice. 1t is surely high time
for he is unfit for that position, or q
place in the cabinet. As Attorney
General, controlling the contingent fund
he has grossly abused his power. The
Senate Judiciary Committee has mn
earthed some highly interesting facts
relative to Williams's use Of that fund.
He not only bought his wife sixteen
hundred dollar carriage on the 27th
of January, 1872, but has had it
repaired eleven hundred dollars worth.
Certainly well kept carriage. The
Department Of Justice is also charged
with a side-wall glass and bsse ,aq.e
with white marble top, five hra3ted 9Ql-
lars. Then George Wilk:nsou,s private
servant of the Attorney G5Gfral, is
carried on the rolls as temporary clerk
at seventy dollars per month, or eight
hundred and forty dollars per annum;
and Chas. W. Lee, another household
servant, figures as messenger of the
Department at sixty dollars per month.
These are small stealings, it is
true, but show the bent Of the
mans mind. He is charged with
huge disreputable transactions by which
he realized the greater part of his large
fortune in very short space Of time.
And yet be stoops to the little pickings
Of the contingent fund, by which he pays
his servants and private expenses out of
taxes wrung from the Woodworking PEG
pie Of the country. His confirmation
would be an insult to the intelligence
end deeency Of the country. he ought
TO be withdrawn or rejected, and per
mitied TO retire to very private life. The
Judiciary Committee can find time for
almost anything else except to report
on Williams case. Caleb Gushing is to
be confirmed rightaway, but the Williams
business is put off from time to time.
He ought to have manners enough, see.
ing that he is distasteful to the whole
country, to withdraw himself; but he
aud bis friends seem determined 10
make the fight. There is only a re-
mote hope that he will be rejected, as
the Senators have so many fsyors to ask
themselves that they greatly prefer to
be in harmony with the administra-
ton" The President, with that persist
ency which marks all his friendships,
has gone to the Judiciary Committee in
person TO urge the claims Of his favorite;
but the recusant Senators still hold out
The opposition on the Republican side
is headed by Morton, Edmunds, Came
ron, Carpenter, Howe, Morrill, and eth
ers, making a strong and effective com
bination. II is intimated that this re-
volt is Indirectly blow at the third term
idea and the outcropping Of internal d.
visions and dissensions.

rur couRr-HOUsE QUESTION

committee was appointed by the
County Court yesterday to confer with
the owners of the 0verten Hotel build
ing with view to its purchase Tor a
courthouse. The necessity for early
actioRupon the subject is plain to every
citizen. The building in question Il Sc
cured could perhaps be converted INTO
very convenient and commodious court
house. Many changes would be neces-
sarv, of course, in its interior arrange
ment. The most important feature TO add
would be a fire proof vault, to contain all
the important county records. These az
present are greatly exposed and liable at
any time, in case of fire, to be destroyed.
The Registers Office, containing all the
land titles and records OF deeds for the
county, is over feed store, where bales
of hay and other combustibles are piled
up all the year round. At the last iire
under the so.called courthouse the
books and papers in the County Court
Clerks Office had very narrow escape;
in fact, some Of the less important were
destroyed. If the 0verton Hotel can be
had upon reasonable terms it would per-
baps answer very well. All the courts
and county offices could then be found
in one building, and so arranged as to suit
the convenience of the public much bet
ter than the present arrangement. All the
revenue offices should be adjacent on
the same floor, so that when tax payer
had gone through the row and settled at
each he would know that he was done
for the year. AS it is, the people pay
taxes pretty much all the year, and never
know whether they are done or not. The
county is no. exactly out of debt, and
never will be as to that matter. Times
are hard, it is true, yet it may be as well
to make beginning now as at any future
time. The courthouse could be paid for
in ten or twelve years without over
burdening the people.

How they Switch Trains fn Eng

A correspondent Of an evening paper
gives the following account of how rail.
road trains are switched or shunted - in
England:
At 230 we steamed away north by the
collieries, thick as far as the eye could
reach, stopped short time at Wigan,
the scene Of the fearful railroad disaster,
saw where the car jumped on the roof
Of the furnace, killing those in it and
the workmen below. The coroner S
Jury decided the cause CT the accident
TO be because the train left the met
ais, as they say for rails They call
switching shunting;' the switchman
here sits in large glass house,
built up ten feet above the track;
rods run to all the switches
within two miles, and are worked
in this room by levers, which work
like the levers for playing church
chimes. The switches are always closed,
so that the straight line is always right,
unless the mans hand Is on the lever
which holds the points and throws the
train on the other track. These switches
answer only for going in one direction,
and it 10 impossible for them TO be mis-
placed except by design They are in
use all over E-rope, and | think for
safety they are more reliable than those
in use in America. A telegraph and
signal bell in the switchman room tell
him the position Of all trains within his
jurisdiction.
