there is something wrong, and not

concurrent testimony was that such a

FaISifying.

Although "election day" Is yet lurk-
ing in the far distance, we already find
accredited party.organs trying to do
their level best in attempting to gain
accessions by Misrepresentation. To
this end the late ordering of militia to
the turbulent mining districts by the
Governor, is severely commented upon
by the Democratic press. That the
Executive should be censnred for doing
as he has, is incomprehensble to us
on the theory that "the end iustiies the
means" or that "all is fair In politics. :"
No impartial mind can gainsay the
necessity and policy Of the Governors
action. All right thinking men will
agree with US that the presence of troops
was rendered necessary to prevent vio-
lence. Nor was the GOVERNOR action
in any sense precipitate--in fact he re-
sisted until a longer forbearance would
have ceased to be virtue. Yet is he
censured-cen censured for having done b is
dutyl Not only this, but the attempt
is made to secure the votes of the min-
ing population by gross misrepresen-
tation of facts. In fact the Governor
is represented as in armed league with
Republican capitalists, against unof.
Tending Democratic laborers To show
the fallacy of the statement, and the
wilful pervcrsion of truth, it is but nec-
essary to point to the fact that the prin
!cipal among the operators in the an
thracite region are, nominally, Demo-
Gratis. We say nominally, for if they
were the "Slmo Pures" they are rep
resented to be, they would hardly dare
to oppress their friends. If anght werI
needed to repute the charge, this shoult
suffice. Yet we venture to assert that
ere many months, these very sam,
"cpal magnates" will ask the supper
of their Guped fellow citizens, to assis
in the election Of their candidate, an,
that the generous miners will grant it

A Valuable Book.

The Political, Personal and Property Rights of a
Citizen Of the United States--H HO,o 10 ezercse and
hoR g preserve them; by Theophilus Rrsoas, LII,
d. Jones Brothers d Co., Philadelphia, Pa,
A careful perusal of this work will
convey an adequate understanding of
all legal questions arising In public and
private life, for it gives clear explana.
tion of those universally recognized
principals, on which are based all ex-
isting laws enacted to secure US in the
enjoyment of our rights and privileges.
That every one should be well in
formed concerning the rights and duties
Of the citizen, is of the greatest impor-
tsnce in this country where he partici.
pates SO freely and so directly in the
affairs OF gQverpment.
This volume will prove of great value
to the statesman and to lawyers, and
cannot but be eminently useful to the
citizen of every class and calling.
The ability, accuracy and long ex-
periepce Of the author as law wr er
and teacher, are q sufficient guaranty
that the work is one of merit and use
fullness. The language of the author
Is simple, he eliminates from it those
abstruse phrases so common In most
law books ard brings his subjects with
in the comprehension OF those unlearn-
ed in the law.
His explanation Of the causes which
led to the framing and adoption of the
Constitution of the United States, aud
its principles and purposes, is alone
well worth the cost of the volume tc
every one who aspires to the fall en-
enjoyment of the privileges guaranteed
hi IN by the Supreme Law of the land
The vast amount Of useful knowledge,
the excellent forms, the rules for the
organization, and procedure of deliber-
ative bodies and the glossary of law
terms in common use make this work
one of great popular value.

Death of the Irish Giant

james Murphy, Jr., known as the
Irish giant, died at Baltimore last week
of cOnsumDtion. Mr.. Murphy was
born in Waterford, Ireland, was thirty
three years of age, and unmarried.
He measured nearly eight feet in height.
The Baltimore Sun says of HIM
" Some months age, when he was in
comparatively good health, he weighed
35l pounds. He had weighed more
when his health was better. He had
been in this country tWenty-four years,
having been brought here lsy his father
and mother, Rho still live at the house
on Chester street. The giant travelled
three years with Barnum, as one of the
great living cUriosities of the world.
Ia his professional career, he visited
every part of this country from Maine
to California and the extreme south.
After terminating his engagement with
Barnum, the giant travelled with a cir
CHS, where he contracted the bronchial
disease which finally ended his life.
When in good health he had a fresh,
pleasant face, and, like all large men,
and particularly all giants, except those
of story books and nursery tales, was
as amlable as he was great in stature.
He had a very youthful expression of
countenance, coal-black hair, and his
hands we've SO large that one of them
could cover the head of a large man,
just as an ordinary hand would cover
an orange His feet we're not so large
prOportionately as the hands, but be-
side an ordinary shoe, one of his shoes
would seem to be sufficient habitation
for the old woman of the story book,
Who had so many children she did not
know what to do When the under
taker came to measure the dead giant
for his coffin, it was found that the de-
ceased was full eight feet long. Surely
the measure of man is correctly known
when he is dead. The coffin will be
nearly 81 feet long. The body was Wis
tied by hundreds of people yesterday,
the giant being we'll known on Fell's
Point, where he was justly esteemed for
his amiability, especially by the chill
dren, who, after the first shrinkage,
generally liked to be taken in his arms
and elevated as far above the heads of
their parents as he could conveniently
hold them.
