An examination OF the census returns on ale
in the office OF the Secretary Of state, shows
that the charges brought by Little Johnny Da-
yenpoTt are without foundation. 1t appears
that the enumerators were ignorant, or mis-
had two columns for the nativity, one
of which wis under the head of voters. In
fllinR up blanks they registered all the mem
beers OF family under each head, which made
the total In the district In which little Johnny
lives as stated by this .l09. But these returns
were corrected Ia the ofice OF the Secretary of
STATE, ana the total number OF voters credited
to this district out 438. The enumerators did not
foot up their returns. That has been done IN the
OH o OF the Secretary OF state, and all errors
were corrected before the returns were officially
made public. Little JOHNNY will have To try
again 10 get some plausible excuse for a retak-
ing OF the census III New York and Kings coun-

In an elaborate article on the revival
work of the Evangelists, Messrs. Moody
and Sankey, in Philadelphia, the New York
Mail pays a generous tribute to the talent,
labor and sacrifice of Mr.. Thomas K. Cree,
formerly Secretary of the Indian Commits
sion, and long known as a leading worker
in the Christian Association field in this
city and elsewhere. The Mail states that
he was the real manager of the Philadel-
phia campaign, and says
"Other name. have been perhaps more
known and mentioned than Mr.. Crees in
this connection but we hazard nothing in
saying-and it is right to say it-that next
to Messrs. Moody and Sankey themselves,
no individual has so greatly contributed to
the success which has attended this revival
campaign as has Mr.. Thomas K. Cree"
The aggregate attendance upon Mr.
Moody's services reached the enormous
number of nine hundred thousand people
1t is doubtful whether any orator, religious
or secular, ever addressed so many persons
in an equal length of time before.

WHEN WORK is TO BEGIN.
Gold Mine Under Philadalpia.

From a paper by Messrs. Dubois and
Eckfeldt, read before the American Philo-
sophical Society, and published in their
transactions, we Gull the following curious
facts which are also quoted in one of the
reports of the New Geological Survey of
this State "Unerdeath the paved City of
Philadelphia there lies deposite of clay,
whose area, by probable estimate, would
measure over3 miles square, enabling us to
figure out the convenient sum Of ten square
miles. The average depth is believed to be
not less than fifteen feet. The inquiry was
started whether gold was diffused in this
earthly bed. From central locality, which
might afford fair assay for the whole, the
cellar of the new market house on Market
street, near Eleventh street, we dug some
of the clay at depth of fourteen feet, where
it could not have been an artificial deposit,
and found that as it lies in the ground the
day contains one part of gold in 1,224, 900.
The assay was repeated upon clay taken
from brick yard in the suburbs of the
city with nearly the same result. This as
say gives seven-tenths of a grain-say 3
cents worth of gold to the cubic foot. As
suming the data already given, we have 4,
$50 millions of cubic feet of clay under our
streets and houses, in which securely lie
126 millions of dollars. And if, as is pref
ty certain, the corporate limits of the city
would afford eight times this bulk of clay,
we have more gold than has yet been
brought, according to statistics, from Cali
fornia and Australia together"

Bag We observe that an effort is making
to secure the pardon of j. W. Freeman, of
the Pittston Comet, who was sentenced some
two months ago to seven months imprison-
ment in the Luzerne county Jail, for an alleged
libel on one j. Boyd Henri We presume
Mr.. Henri's character was not so badly
injured that the conviction and subsequent
incarceration of his victim for two months
could not make all whole and smooth
again, and we can see no reason why Mr..
Freeman should not be released at once
IF this recovery has not been achieved by the
salve of personal punishment of the alleged
libeer then we think the libel!ed had better
begin to look to some other source for the
irritation he experiences In NO event should
the law ever become ;ine executioner of any
mans vindi.tiveness, which, from the fact
Of ne opposition Of Henri, by attorney, be-
fore the board of Pardons appears to be the
case in this instance. As we said before the
pardon should be granted at once. 1t Is
queer justice they have up there In Luzerne
county A coward, with rufianly instincts,
shoots down and murders an inoffensve labor
ing man and good citizen, and for the damn
able crime, because Of the responsibility Of
his connections and his cowardice, and,
possibly, those same rufianly instincts, he, is
sentenced to the county Jail for thirteen
months, while for publishing communica-
ton, the alleged proofs of the truths of which
tences an Editor OF an independent journal
TO the same prison for seven months. In
county gifted with less true inwardness' Of
the kind which prevails in Luzerne there
would appear to be greater distance between
the crimes and consequently greater proper
ton of punishment for the former than the
latter.

their ranks embrace the sons of the leading
