A ACOSGRESSMAN's NEW OCC- Pa.
TIOy.

Congressmen are like all the rest Of
mortals, fond Of profitable .investments,
and this may be the reason that SO many
of them 90 to Congress. Bat the case We
now allude to il not one in which sub-i-
dies are concerned, although it has some
thing to do with the lobby. The lobby is
not in Washington, but in that building
the United States Government has erected
in New York and called the postoffice. In
its hallway looIned up a pie-stand,
freighted with pastry, upon which the flies
made depredations, and a neat looking man
fought them vigorously with brush. Hun
cry pedestrians ate his pies and quaffed
the fizzing soda. But this was too much
for the refined people and press of New
York city to stand. 1t was decidedly OBJ
noxious to good taste, and terrific war
was made upon it. But it brought forth
developments that nobody expected, for it
revealed the fact that the owner Of that
stand was none other than genuine Con-
gressman from the State of Nebraska, who
sold over one hundred pies daily, and with
his Congressional pay and that from the
pies, peanuts, apples and soda-water he
managed to make comfortable living.
The government erected six million
dollar building, and the pie-ous member
from Nebraska was allowed monopoly of
the pastry and nick-nack business within
its walls. lie, Of course, had done the
country service as Republican and was
permitted to sell pies in New York, while
his constituents were out in Nebraska. But
he is one Of the determined kind, and re-
uses to give up his stand and continues
every day to dispense pies at ten cents
piece or three cents slice in the new post
Office building. The New York Herald
says: Would it not have been easier to 20
to Nevada for million than to come all the
way to the new post Office to sell eighty
dollars worth Of pie per day ? There is one
mystery in this case that we hope the fu-
ture will solve Did this man have his ewes
on the pie stand and get himself elected to
Congress, in order that he might have the
influence necessary to secure this dyspeptic
placer1 or did he come to Congress a. the
rest do, vaguely on the make, and was Il .
pie stand the best thing that corrupt ad-
minist ration had to offer.

Miia. Times Of Yesterday.
At the depot Of the lIestonvlle and
Mantua Passenger Railway Company, No.
1862 Callowhill street, yesterday, Robert
A. Hamilton, Howard Boileau, Joseph n.
Wilkinson and John Crommie, cond lctors
in the employ Of the company, were ar
rested by officers of the Pennsylvania De-
tective Bureau, Fifth and Spruce streets on
charge of stealing railroad tickets. Mr..
A. Boyd, President of the Company, has
for long while believed that the company
was being Systematically robbed Of its re-
ceipts by conductors, and with a view to
stopping these peculations employed the
Pennsylvania Agency, who have not only
arrested the conductors mentioned, but
have secured sufficient evidence to bring a
number Of others to justice. The method
Of thieving is very simple; it consists SIM
ply in not punching the tickets received
for fare. These, varying in number each
day, according to the prudence or boldness
Of the thief, are then sold by him ossregu-
lar riders, whom he can trust, at the rate
Of twenty for one dollar, From a dollar
to three and half and four dollars day
have thus beeu stolen by different conduc-
tors, and the purchasers have not been only
those whose Strengthened purses have in
duced them to a dishonest economy, but
men whose easy and sometimes
wealthy circumstances are 30 we'll
known that, when the whole villainy is
unmasked, spicy DEVELOPMENTS may be an
ticipated. 1t il not only to the Heston-
vile road that the attention of the Penn
sylvania Bureau has been directed, but
they have accumulated evidence against
number of conductors on the other roads
using the bell punch and others who have
mustered the method of "beating' the
slawson box. This is done by regular
riders in connection with dishonest con-
ductoS. The REGULAR" instead of put
ting his ticket in the box when he gets in,
sits quietly and is not noticed by the con-
ductor. Then when going out he slips his
ticket over the box to the conductor and
in return purchases, wheu he wants them,
twenty tickets for one dollar. Sometimes
the regular slips his ticket under the cush-
ion, when it is afterwards gathered in by
the conductor. On the other roads the
tickets furnished by the company are in
the coupon form, and the conductors are
not permitted to sell them when separated.
1t therefore follows that the stolen tickets
are always separate, and it is those tickets
that the conductors sell at a discount and
the REGULARS" buy. The persons arrested
yesterday will have hearing before Ma
gistrate Smith at 12 M. to-day. 1t is pro-
bable that this will be followed by further
arrests, not only on the Hestonville road
but on all the other passenger railways in

The reform movement in Baltimore is
tempered by good reasoning. 1t has been
shown that the people Of that city have
been governed by notoriously corrupt
ring, that for the safety ofpolitics it is alb
solutely necessary should be broken up
at once. From 1864 to 1874 the increase
Of population has been twenty-eight per
cent, while the increase of taxation has
been one hundred and sixty-two per cent.
In 1874 the expenses Of government were
almost double what they were in 1866 and
the basis Of taxation is just about iu the
same state Of affairs. The war of the re-
form party is directly upon this ring,
which has SO long held power and fattened
upon the treasury Of the monumental city.
1t has started active and vigorous in the
work, and will, beyond peradventure, &C.
complish good ends.

Boosting Of the Mormons that the indiana

great work tbey we're to do, fosthe ~dsmp-
sion Of Zion appears TO strengthen thefsArs
Of the GentiIes, and leads to the apprehen-
sion that general war has been inaugura-
ted. There can be no question that during
the last twelve mopths the Norman mis-
sionaries have been baptizing the Indians by
the hundred al through Usah and in Cd
joining territories and the red skins believe
that the spirits of their fossf - have
visited some Of the leading Routh-

Try and scare the white folks out of the
country, but that is generally the impres-
sion in Salt Lake City and here. There is
reason to believe that the Mormons are at
the head Of this movement, and it is
them that the United States should hold
responsible. Their vengeance is deeply
and they will wreak j. at the
first opportunity. They are vicious and
treacherous, and they will make the stulti-

You mustn't talk that way about "whip-
ping in the Mickies," said the ADvERrI-
SER, hotly indignant, a week after the
midnight manipulation of ballots at the
Democratic nomination for Mayor. But
the Bosses did talk that way, and did whip
them in, too. Hereafter, gentlemen, it is
understood that the firm of O.Byrne,
VNeill, OToole & Co., may threaten, but
they won't kick. Make The nomination,
no matter how, and they'll support it,
Commercial.
No Boss spoke that way, nor will such
talk be INDUCED in for many a long day.
The few blatant bigots who wagged their
tongues were promptly sileneed. The nom.
ination Of Mr.. Whiteley was fairly and
honestly effected, and being 30, our natu.
ralised citizens ca arnestly supported him.
The Commercial may rest assured, that nc
set Of men in this State, will strike at O
Democrat because ofhis creed or country
without being paid back, with compound
interest.

The Centennial Bell,

Meneeley & Kimberly, Of Troy, who
are making the bell donated to the city BY
Henry Seybert, Esq, have, upon applica-
ton to Gen. Wagner and upon the en-
dorsment Of the War Department, received
permission to select several cannon from
those now in store at the Watervelt Ar.
senel; to be cast in the bell. The selection
will be made from cannon which did serv-
ice in the Union and rebel armies during
the late civil war. 1t is the purpose of
Seybert and Of the city authorities to have
the bell in position in the Tower of Inde-
pendence Hall on the Fourth of July,
1876. 1t will thus have both national
and centennial signifcance-that of a
country grown in century from Union
of thirteen States to thirty-eight and a
population increased from 100000 to 49,
100000. The object of the special cannon
used in the casting of this bell will be to
carry out the idea of peace in the blending
Of North and South. and quite in keeping
with the spirit Of one of the Bible in
scriptions which will be cast upon the bell:
"Glory to God in the highest and on earth
peace and good will toward men,"

Mr.. Editor Some weeks ago, I read
in your paper a card signed "Obserrer,"
recommending Mr.. II. c. Combs, Of
your town, as suitable candidate for
the democratic party to unite upon in
the coming Senatorial contest, now but
a few months distant. Since then, !
have talked with many democrats upon
the subject and find them all agreed
on this one important point, although
some of them have other preferences),
that Mr.. Combs would be most &C.
ceptable candidate. And certainly, /
have not heard q single good objec-
ton offered against him. As "O6serr.
er" very Justly remarks, he is gentle
man around whom all democrats, and
the dissatisfied of the opposition, may
and viii rally with confidence. In my
Judgment, what we most want at this
time il . candidate whose ability and
high personal character are such a. to
bring order out Of the chaos which now
seems 70 hold undisputed possession Of
the democratic lines. Without dispar-
agement TO the claims or qualifications
Of other gentlemen, I know Of none
better fitted or more syailable at this
time than Mr.. Combs, and let me re-

Mr.. Editor Il noticed in your last
issue very puny edition of quotations
which, suppose, was intended as an
answer to my last letter. Why did your
correspondent not make it more CLASH.
cal by borrowing that rery little known
phrase ueni, vidi, riei, since he thinks
FISHERMAN has been overcome without
an effort on his part !? He rode to the
Legislature on the shoulders of the oys-
termen and promised to do all that
could be done for their interest.
His great exertiops there have evil
IDENTIFY overpowered him. He no long
er has any taste for oysters, much less
for oystermen, aud especially those
about the Potomac.
I have heard of playing on a harp of
. thousand strings, but Mr.. Bond plays
on harp of one string-the string mum.
bered one thousand seven hundred and
eighty-6ve. But, perhaps, to play on
one string is as much as one can expect
from such an extremely old gentleman,
who has been rendered infirm by his ar
duous labors in the oyster committee.
In his total rout he has retreated be-
hind charge which is entirely false,
"That 1 thought the Legislature of 1874
should have repealed the compact of
1885. As some may have passed I'M
noticed what wrote, I will reiterate a
few lines of my letter. That until the
boundary question was settled our val
liable beds ought to have been protec-
ted on the Potomac, and that the ad-
vantages arising from those beds should
have been reserved for those whose homes
are on the banks of that river, and not
given to Baltimoreans and Eastern
Shoremen. lean make some allowances
for your correspondent as he is busy
engineering himself into the nomina-
ton for the Senate. But as I have no
constituents to support me, and none to
write for me, I will have to decline wri.
ting any more until some time when
business is less pressing.

SCHOOL MATTERS.

Mr.. Editor In nv Communication
published in issue of the BEAcoH Of Srd
inst. I adverted to the fact that when
the State appropriation for eolored
school purposes was $4,000 per year.
the teachers Of those schools in St.
Mary's County, holding certificates, re-
ceived SIS per term for their servi-
ces; and stated that now that this ap-
preparation was 100000 per year,
with the same number Of schools In OPP
keration, the teachers received but go
per-term. Since then, An response TO
iSquilyGI have receiveAa letter fro,A
the Comptroller Of the Treasury, dated
9th inst, stating, that 1.-THE quarterly
amount due st. Mary's County for this
purpose and paid to the School Commits
sioners is $1,l69.62." There are Of
course four Of these installments per
year, making s4,678.48. The amount
received for licenses from colored tong
ers to catch oysters is s346,-making
$5,O24.28 per year. Of the twelve
teachers Of those schools, not more than
eight hold full certificates and receive
the full salary Of $40 per term, max
ing $500. Not less than four are teach
ing under permit and receive, l suppose,
SIS per term, that being the amount
allowed to permit teachers, $220-mak-
ing in all about $3.50 per term or ST.
l20 per scholastic year to 30 paid to
teachers of those schools. This taken
from $5,O24.48, the revenue per year
for thisI purpose, leaves surplus or
balance Of S1,9044S at the end of the
year, sufficient I presume to meet all
demands for necessary repairs of those
school houses or other necessary pur.
poses, and shows how muni6cently the
last Legislature provided. for the educa-
ton of colored children. I trust our
worthy Examiner will excuse the liberty
which / have thus taken with accounts
which belong to his peculiar jurisdic-
ton, but the last time I enquired Of
him if there was not o surplus ON hand
for colored school purposes, or at least
the last time he answered this inquiry,
I failed to obtain the information /
sought, as he said he had not cast up
accounts lately, and so I determined to
cast them up myself.
Respectfully,
WIZ. F. PERRY.
