longer news, but we insert to oblige
readers at distance.

lumber along the Ohio, intends leav-

The stage on mail line from
Clarion to Tionesla has changed its
travel, going now from TiOHesta to
Clarion on Monday instead Of Tues
day, as formerly. We believe this
change is not agreeable to the Nebfss-
ka P. O.'for one, as it depriyes the
people of their papers for Sunday
readicg. We are in hopes a change
may be effected.

-Messrs. Wilson and Brown, edi-
tors of The Parker City oil Journal,
paid our place visit last week, and
while in this section, concluded to 90
UP to Salmon Greek and have FISH.
We are sorry 30 hear that they had
bad luck 10 getting a kicking horse,
which kicked the buggy and harness
ont-of time, and threw Mr. Brown out
oftho buggy at Newtown Hill They
we're not discouraged, however, but
left the horse and buggy at Newtown
and walked to Buck Mills, where Mr..
Daniel Gibson took them in charge,
and among them they secured a fine
string oftrout. They are both gen
tlemanly fellows, and we hope they
will not be discouraged by their bad
luck this tine, But will conclude to
pay US another visit soon.

been execrated by men of both parties
for the part he took in taking Mill

However, we understand he explained
this to the Democrats satisfactorially.
Adjourned Court was held in this
county Monday and Tuesday of this
week The Borough of Tionesta was
divided, in accordance with petitions
and the reports Of viewers. The whole
borough is to constitute one school
district, but each ward is to have three
councilnen, and to repair their own
roads and sidewalks. The division
line is the middle of Church ST., all
north Of that being called the North
Ward, aud south Of it the South Ward
We believe nearly all the voters are
satisfied with the division.

Improved street Cars.

We cannot fail to recur to the singular
tenn which we noticed yesterday. Ten years
ago there were as many uptown lines as
there are to-day, and there are fewer cars on
most of them now than in the beginning.
In the meantime the population of the city
has largely increased and the difficulties OF
transit have grown with the increase OF
population. Overcrowding, always q nui-
sance, has become intolerable, and no
measures have been taken either to prevent
or mitigate the evil. The remedy is q seat
for every passenger-cars enough at all
hours to afford every passenger seat
This the companies must give; volun-
tarily if they will, but compulsorily
if they fail much longer to afford it.
In other cities, notably in Paris, the pub
lie vehicles carry only as many passengers
as they will seat The same rule must be
applied here. The railway companies must
give us more and better cars and devise
means for conveying all the passengers who
desire to be carried. To this end why not
adopt cars after the German pattern and
carry passengers both inside and out 1t is
the idea of the old-fashioned stage coach,
and is equally practicable. A car of this
kind will carry almost as many passengers as
can be packed into one of the unwieldy
things which now traverse our streets, and,
what is more, every passenger may be pro-
vided with seat Which of the companies
will bo first to give us the double-deckers

closes this act, the last, represents the tall

ant, fox leaping over bar sinister, a goose
reversed and gyro pendant. The drama
ends, as we are given to understand, with a
grand transformation scene, representing the
fable of the old man and his son who carried
the ass to market. Sometimes the ass is on
top and sometimes the old man, but as
general rule it is the ass. This effect is en-
blematic Of the moral of the drama.
If this is true abstract of Mr.. Berghs new
play, and the plot is as probable as any OF
the others, there can be no doubt that it will
have great success. Mr.. Bergh will no
doubt emulate the example Of Mr.. Oakley
Hall and play the hero of his own play. No
other actor could do justice to the character.
The public will rejoice to see Mr.. Bergh in
the double role Of author and actor, and we
do not believe the rumor that the useful
society of which he is the President will at
tempt to prevent the performance of the play
by applying to the courts for an injunction.

Mr.. JAY and the World.

Our neighbor, the World with kind of
have a monopoly, tries, by an artful use of
language, to convey to its readers the i'm
preston that the HERALD has renounced,
on behalf of Mr.. Jay, the opinion
that the preamble of the consti-
tuition confers upon Congress authority to
pass the Centennial appropriation. Our
readers know, and the World knows, that
we never took such position, and we made
it plain enough that it was not the position
of Mr.. Jay. The World blundered into
making that unwarranted accusation, and,
on the strength of it, proceeded to tell Mr..
Jay that if the youngest attache of his en-
bassy at Vienna had made such mis-
take he should have had his ears
boxed and been sent home on the next
steamer When we had shown by evidence
which defied refutation that this license Of
abuse was founded on total misapprehen-
sion of Mr.. jays meaning, the World, in
stead Of having the candor to acknowledge
its error and the manliness to withdraw its
insults, coolly assumes that the HERALD has
retreated from an untenable position We
know not by what code of honor or accepted
rule of manners, nor by what standard
of veracity, such course can be justified.
Mr. Jay did, indeed speak of Congress as
having constitutional power to provide for
the general welfare, and the World, quoting
these words, said that the youngest clerk
ought to be punished if he should perpetrate
so fragrant blunder. And now the World
itself is forced to admit that Congress has
such power, as nobody can deny it with
the language of the eighth section of the first
article before him. But it attempts to cover
its retreat by contending that the general
welfare for which that section expressly
authorizes Congress to provide is limited
and defined by the other specific grants OF
power
This is point on which Mr.. jay expressed
no opinion. and the. Worlds argument on it

them. Mr.. Blaine has aimed at nothing
higher than to make himself conspicuous
by annoying the democrats and putting them
wrong on the record. He was willing that
the Amnesty bill should pass, even though
it included Jefferson Davis, and merely
sought to have the democratic vote Recorded
by yeas and nays on that naked proposition.
For this paltry and pitiful purpose of annoy
ance he did not hesitate to rake open and in
flame the worst animosities of the war,
and parade in all their horror the
most exasperating circumstances of the con-
test reviving memories which all patriotic
men would wish to bury in everlasting
oblivion. A man ''who noble ends by noble
means pursues" would have scorned to tear
open the old wounds of his country for so
ignoble purpose as that of forcing his
political opponents to vote for the amnesty
of Mr.. Davis by name when he had no objec-
ton to the bill passing after he had thus put
speech is display of the same order of
statesmanship-a mixture of demagogism
and political cunning. And yet these two
men are the leading republican candidates
for the Presidency, aside from General Grant.
There has never been period when there
was such a poverty of political genius in
Congress, nor period when first class
ability was more needed. General Banks,
though never great nor always wise man,
has acted more in the spirit of a statesman
than any other member of the present Con-
gress His speech on the Amnesty bill was
altogether the most judicious made in that
debate; but he is outside of both political
parties The party leaders on the democratic
side are weak and divided on the republi-
can side ambitious, reckless and wrong
headed, with no true perception of the
wants of the country or the drift of opinion.
The Presidential contest of the centennial
year seems likely to be one of the most ac-
tive and vehement, and at the same time one
of the most vulgar and debasing, in the his
tory Of our politics.

MIR. Bergh,. New TLax.

Mr.. Henry Bergh, not wishing to appear
singular, has written an original American
play. That the President of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails should have done this seems q
little inconsistent yet when the play is
produced we are sure that Mr.. Bergh will
be acquitted of any malicious intentions. 1t
is impossible that so benevolent man should
write anything that would give pain to others.
There are many rumors of the nature of this
drama which would convey q contrary i'm
preston, as, for instance, that it is in blank
verse, that it is in five acts that it is tragedy,
that the subject is taken from the American
credit Mr.. Bergh is too sensible to enter
into rivalry with Mr.. Tupper, or to repeat
old dramatic effects when he has fresh ma
terial of his own.
Nothing is more probable than that Mr..
Bergh intends this play to crown the work
of benevolence to which his life is dedicated.
The general theme, as we have almost the
highest authority for believing, will be the
prevention Of cruelty to animals. The plot,
it is understood, is full of interest The first
act introduces q superb display of Third
avenue car horses, who are cruelty driven
upon the stage by excited drivers. The
horses Grained animals from the circus,
taught to represent all the principal equine
diseases prevalent on that celebrated road)
resist. The vindictive drivers redouble their
blows, when a tall figure in cloak rushes to
the aid of the steeds. A terrific hand-to-
hand combat ensues between the mysterious
stranger and the drivers, in which the latter
are routed. The act ends with tableau of
grateful horses kneeling at the feet of their
chivalrous defender. The second act, we
learn, presents a magnificent dog upon q
real treadmill-one of the great mechanical
effects of the piece. His efforts are stimu-
lated by some fine pork chops hung before
him, but Just beyond his reach. The dog is
grinding coffee which his cruel master will
not allow him to drink. Again the mysteri-
Gus stranger appears and a fierce combat
follows, in which the master is defeated.
The tableau with which this act closes rep
resents the master upon the treadmill and
the mysterious stranger and the dog divid-
ing the pork chops between them. In the
next act we see a noble fox entering with
fat goose, pursued by pack of hounds and
field of huntsmen. AT the most interesting
moment of the fox's existence tall figure
enters and interposes. Here fine quota
tion from 'Richeheu" is introduced MARX
where she stands around her form draw Z"
&c. The huntsmen recoil The fox is saved.
The goose dies. The fourth act has for its
scene field on Long Island. A band of viii
lains, armed with double barrelled guns, are
firing at pigeons. The only pigeons allowed
in the cast are drivers" and always escape,
not only from motives Of humanity on the
part of the author, but also for the sake OF
economy, as the piece is expected to have a
long run. The mysterious stranger springs
through trap, and both the pigeons and the
gunners ay He then throws number OF

The French Ministry and the Repub-
licnns.


In his open defiance of the republicans
we are probably shown the extent of M.
Bullets confidence in the conservative"
victory ut the polls. He faces very calmly
the wrath of the Left in the permanent COM
mittee, stands by those of his acts which
they denounce as an abuse of power, and
challenges them to avail themselves of any
remedy they have either in the courts or in
the Assembly, which they may convoke if they
have power enough in the committee. This at
titude is at once bold and polite, for it pre-
sents the Minister to the country in the i'm
posing and attractive light of one who
''takes the responsibility under the law /;
and if they resort to so extravagant step as
a convocation of the new Assembly, what
then? 1t must be remembered that the re-
publican power there was the result Of bar
gain, and it is by no means certain that even
what was regarded as legitimately the repub-
lican vote could now be scored for that party
in the same body. Republican politicians
are as ready as any other politicians to
''stand from under" when a general election
seems to exhibit that the country is against
the party they have acted with, and while
many quondam republicans would be shy
oil conservatives would be correspondingly
encouraged. Buffet, therefore defes very
safely the wrath of the dissatisfied, for the
voting shows that he is a great deal nearer to
the average mind of the nation than is the
party that denounces him.
