only Two Red Heads in Congress.

There are many, who think that the
last two Congresses are improvements
on those that drew pay for theten years
prior to that time: There are fewer
gray heads in the present House than in
any previous one. Young men, or at
least middle-aged men, predominant,
though there are enough of gray heads
to make the Whole body look respecta-
BILE, and give it that look of dignity
that is so necessary. There are but
two red heads, the Far West sending
one and Connecticut the other.

The Frantic Behavior Of The Little Inner
Moon Of Mars,

From the detailed report from WASH
ington Observatory the world is in
formed of the time in which the outer
and inner satellites of Mars make one
complete revolution around the planet.
Mars is only n little over one-half MS
large in diameter rs or earth. The
time of revolution of its outer satellite
is thirty hours, while that Of the inner
satellite-or the one nearest the planet
is seven hours ~thirty-eight minutes,
which is considered n high velocity.
AS to the orbit and CONSEQUENT distance
through which these moons travel in
making n complete circuit around Mars
we must wait for further knowledge.
But admitting the inner one to have an
orbit proportional TO a distance of
thirty diameters Of its planet, as has
our moon, it is easy to estimate its
orbital velocity ut over one hundred
thousand miles per hour, This is some
what out of the usual department of
moons, opr own, for instance, moving
in its orbit only n little over ono thous-
and miles per hour. What n pleasure
it must be for the inhabitants of Mars
to see their little lunatic come sailing
around every seven and a half night
hours Mt n rate of over fifteen hundred
miles a minute. by watching, they
would ACTUALLY see il sail past the stars,

Senator Norton's Patriotic Service

Senator Morton's war record is the
part of his life work that will probably
live longest. Unlike the other war
governors, he was beset with rebel foes

knights of the Golden Circle and
the draft rioters added immensely 10.

he never quailed; he was always equal
to and ahead of the emergency. After
Sumter was bombarded, and even be-
fore Lincoln had called for less than
5000 men from Indiana, the governor
tclegraphediim a tender of 10000, and,
in less than a~weck after. having
already filed the quota and put it in

addressed to Morton after the close of
the war, is all that need he added toI
this chapter of his national scrviccs:-,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10, 1865.
My Dear Governor: | think it is the
right of men who have ably and faith
fully served their country to know that
their labors are appreciated as they
merit. SO will not deny myself the
pleasure of telling you that Secretary
Stanton vas with me last evening, and
we naturally turning our minds to the
past, fell to talking of you. We agreed
that no governor rendered such services |
or displayed such courage or more abil-
ity in administration; and we agreed
that your recent services were most
meritorions of all, because rendered
under circumstancesof greater personal
risk of health and life, and which would
have been by almost any mar regarded,
and by all accepted, rs good reason for
total inaction. l have seldom heard
Stanton express himself so earnestly.
L hope you will derive some satisfaction
from this relation. The talk gave much
to Inc. Cordially, your friend,
S. T. CHASE.

II is related of Sothern that once in
London he entered an iron monger's
shop, and advancing 10 the counter,
said:-''Have you the second edition of
Maculay's History of England?" The
shop-kecper explained that he kept M
iron mongcring establishment. "Wcll,
il don't matter whether it is bound in
calf or not" answered the customer.
"But, sir, this is not 4 book-sellcr's."
cit don't matter how you put it up"
says Sothcrn; 81 piece of brown paper

YES" says Sothcrn, ''the binding
differs, but I'm not particular-as long

''Sirl" fairly screamed the shop-keeper,
Cant you see we keep no books? This

said Sothern, seating himself. "Ill
wait for it," Believing that his Gus
toner was either hopelessly deaf or
equally mad, the nan called another
from the other end of the store and eX-
planned that he could do nothing with
the gentleman. "Wlat do you wish,

ing. Il should like says Sothcrn,
quietly, "a small, plain file about o

casting upon bewildered No. l a glance
of the most unmitigatcd disgust.

THE SHRINkAGE OF RAILROAD

twenty.turee railroads from January
to June 80, 1877, showa loss compare
with the same period of 1876 OF S2,224,.
s6G, or about per cent. But All analy-
sis OF the reports show that :ourteen
roads earning $29, ,337, 900 i'll 1876, have
lost 81, 9O6 O99, or about 10 per cent,
while nine roads which in 1876 earned
1862 10, have gained S58l, ,233. OF IL
roads whose earnings are only re-
ported up to May 81, nine have lost
81, 1863, ,4G2 and four have gained SILL
325. II is noticeable fact that the
roads reporting gain are principally
those IN the southwest, The prominent
exception being Canada Southern. These
showing "a loss include Lake Shore,
Pennsylvania, Philadelphia and Erie,
Chicago and Alton. And Chicago, Mil
waukee and St Paul. II TO this list
could be added the reports OF such rail-
roads rs the Central and Hudson, Michi.
gap Central Northwestern, Rock
Island, &c, it cannot Oe doubted that
the losses would swell to more than
double the sum reported. On this sub.

THE GOVERNORS ACTION.

" hen men 20 about the streets in
Weighing against the Governor for
taking sides with the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company in controversy
with its employees, they simply ply the
vocation OF a demagogue. Governor
MATHEWS has taken no part in any con-
troversy between the railroad company
and its employees. The railroad COM
pany reduced the wages oil its employees
Whether that reduction wss right or
wrong, the Governor never undertook 10
decide, Many of the employees declined
10 accept the reduction, and qalt WORK.
Had they stopped there or had
they even gons further and
prevented others from hllng
the places made vacant by the
use of moral suasion, by claims of iden-
tity of interest and the like, Governor
MATHEWS would have mad no part or lot
In the affair; but when these strikers
converted themselves into an armed mob
and undertook 10 break down all bar
rers OF law and set up their own mad
will instead; when they undertook to
dictate to the company whom it should
employ aud what it should pay, and to
enforce this dicLstlon by violence, by the
etiusion of blood and the destruction OF
life; when they assumed the right 10
wreck trains, and TO drive from tn cir
work men who were glad to accept the
company's wsges-tO drive them from
their work with the pistol and the bludg-
con, II became the sacred and sworn duty
OF the Governor of the Commonwealth
whose peace and dignity were this out
ragged TO interpose the strong arm OF pow
er. And when he found the rioters too
powerful in numbers to be dispersed
by the force NJ his commsnd it was
equally his duty under the constitution
and laws of the land and his duty in the
interest of humanity, TO summon aid
from the Federal Government. Gov.
MATHEWS did but his duty, and had he
tailed to do this, he would have deserved
the execration OF the pesce-lovlng people
of the country.

THE PRES ENT RAILROAD STRIKE
Those who Engaged in Ii-SOme
PecuIiarities Of Method.

Pittsburgh Telegraph, Yesterday.
One of the peculisrlties OF the strike
now raging on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, is that the strikers are the un-
skilled wOrkmen, instead OF Us heretofore
the skilled. SO tar it has been entirely
confined t. the freight liremen and brake
men, and will, probably, not spread be-
yond these classes Though ali classes OF
railroad men are remarkably reticent,
it appears that the strikers intend
making the action genera. over al
the trunk lines OF the Baltimore and
Ohio and other great Eastern trunk
lines il possible. The method which hrs
been adopted in this great strike differs
from that general in other occurrences OF
the same nature, in that II Is to strike
by divisions, and not on the whole road
at once In accordance with this idea,
the first division, from Baltimore 10
Msrtinsburg, struck day before yester-
dsy. and the second division, from MAJ
tlusburg To keyser, struck YESTERDAY.
The third division, from keyser to Gus
berland, were expected To follow ta-,
example o! the ether divisions this moTD-
ing, but whether they have doae 50 OF
not cannot be learned The Other dlvi-
sions Will strike IN successioS, until the
whole road Is under the control OF the
strikers The system OF striking 10y
division is claimed to be zGore ebicaCIous
than the usua method. and the resnlt.
obtained so tar seem 70 warrant The
claim. The progranme does not appeI r
to have been strictly adhered 10, 4"

AT the hour of gong to press no new
deve opments, have been received. The
situation is quiet, but it seems to be so
more because the railroad company have
made but little effort, AS yet, TO resume the
running of freight trains. OF course that
is what the strikers want to prevent and
so long AS they do so they have evidently
the upper hand OF the company. The
strike appears to be developing into
greater proportions each day and to us
looks more formidable than ut first. 1t
seems to be extending in other directions
and the strikers talk and act with more
bolIness than NJ the beginning OF the
trouble Tne plan of operation seems to
be confined entirely to preventing the
movement OF ireigh. train.
