Coon FoR You.-The editor of the
Williamsport Bulletin says: "Hon. l..
A. Mackey, Of Lock Haven, voted for
the Compromise Electoral Bill. But,
the name Of Hon. S. Ross, represent.
ing this district in Congress, did not
appear among those voting for or
against the Electoral Bill. Indeed his
name seldom appears in any vote"
That's good for you; the Democrats
offered the people of your district n
drst.elass man, like Mr. Mackey, but
they were foolish enough to be bull
dozed into voting Tor dead beat like
Sobeskia Ross. 1t may be little
rough on the constituents, but its good
fun for Sobeskia.

CoNKLING PAYS his RtsPEcrs TO
DAwEs.--ln the course of the debate
in the Senate on the electoral count
bill, Mr.. Dawes on taking bis seat,
muttered something about how they
did things in Massachusetts, to which
Mr.. Conkling said; rThe idea that any.
thing upon the earth or in the heaven
above could be- as perfect as they made
things in Massachusetts he did not en-.
tertain for one minute. When the
other States Of the Union even approx.
mated thc perfection OF Massachusetts,
the time will have come when no prob.

would count themselves, and the whole
universe would 30 on by automatic and

The CAPITOL REMOVAL BILL.--The
Philadelphia ring was badly defeated
in their attempt to remove the State
Capitol from Harrisburg TO Philadel-
phia. A few days previous to the
vote 1t was announced that one hun.
dred and five the House and twenty.
eight in the Senate favored the removal.
But when the vote was taken in the
former body, it stood yeas, iifty.seven,
nays one hundred and twenty. That
settles the question for this Legisla-
ture. Plenty of cash might bring
about a reconsideration of the qucs-
ton, but it is hardly likely.

country. 1t is done by the use Of
birch bark tar in dressing the skins,
instead OF tallow or other grease. The
tar costs only about ten dollars bar
rel. Mr.. Jewell sent ten barrels Of il
TO the various leading leather manu-
facturcrs in this country, with instruc-

America, and doubtless will soon be
sold at nearly fifty per centum below
old prices, and may, perhaps, go out Of

TELLING THE TRUTH.--This is some.
thing Radical politicians seldom en-
gage in but, Senator Robertson, OF
South Carolina, made a speech in the
United States Senate on Monday in
favor of recognizing Hampton as the
legal Governor Of that State. Senator
Robertson is Republican, but about
the reputable white Republican in the
the Senate from the South. Speakingon
the question Of intimidation, he said
there was none on the part of the
whites toward the blacks at the late
election, but that many blacks were
kept from voting the Democratic ticket
by Republicans of their own color.
Senator Robertson only confirms the
evidence taken by the Congressional
committees in this respect
