The Erie Route.

If you are going to New York don't fail
to take route in which the Erie Railway
is a connecting link. A ride the length
of this broad-gauge road, the ever-chang-
ing but neYer-ending panorama of grand
and picturesque scenery-Niagara and Por-
tage, with intervening wales and peaks,
the storied Chemung and Susquehanna Val
ley, eliminating in the peerless Starrucca;
the wild mountains and glens and preci-
pices of the Delaware; the rich CLEANS of
valley and hill through the famous Orange
County, and the no less beautiful and nota-
Die, scenes that cling to the road until its
very terminus is reached-all these will be a
bright memory to the closing days of the
tourist who selects this route. No other
road leading into the metropolis compares
with it in the surroundings that charm
the aesthetic traveller; certainly no other
approaches it in the comforts and conven-
fences Of travel it presents.
The regularity Of the Erie trains as to
schedule time, is shown by repeated official
postal department reports to be far greater
than any other route, which is an important
item with travellers.
These are well established facts, and
facts that should be taken into earnest
consideration by every one who contem-
plates going to New York" from this To-
cality.

Tramp Tactics.

A dispatch from Dowington, Pa, to New
York, says that on Saturday night guam
tity Of property was stolen by tramps from
the railroad cars at Westchester Junction,
which was recovered by the railroad en-
ployes after sharp conflict. in which two
OF the railroad hands and four of the
tramps were injured. Beside this, two
trains were stopped near Lewiston, by the
same gang, on the morning of the 11th,
and it was only after desperate resistance
on the part Of the railroad men, that they
were driven of. The line between these
points and Pittsburgh, is said to be infest-
ed with tramps to the number of 1000 to
1.5OO.

Governor Hendricks insists that he did
not wish to be sent to the Senate, and
would, on no condition, have accepted an
appointment. He shows this letter, writ
ten to Governor Williams on the day Mr.
VOORHEES, was appointed, as proof of his
assertions; understanding that you will
now be considering the appointment to fill
the vacancy in the United States Senate,
occasioned by the death of Hon. O. P.
Morton, I take the liberty of recommend
ing for that position, the Hon. D. W,
VOORHEES,. 1 need not say that Mr.. Voor-
hees is gentleman of much experience in
public life and of marked ability. That is
well known to yourself and to the people
of the State generally. l think his ap-
pointment would be generally approved.

''Two thousand Texan militia are organ
lied under General James, and are ready
to cross the Rio Grande. They only want
the word" So read the late dispatches.
As many Mexicans are ready to cross the
Rio Grande, and having recently heard
the word ego" from Lerdo, they went, and
an encounter with the Indians was the re-
suit. On both sides this eagerness to
''cross the Rio Grande" means simply a
a desire for revolution, or for war and
annexation. More Federal troops are
needed on the frontier, as much, perhaps
to restrain the Texans as to prevent inva-
sions, unless the Government is ready to
be lead into fruitless war by handful
of scheming adventurers.

The grave step which President MacMa-
hon has taken in requesting the De Broglie
Ministry to remain in Office after it had re-
signed, says the Tribune, will tend to en-
bitter the pending conflict. The Chamber
of Deputies will now have no option but to
assume the offensive at the earliest mo-
ment, and make its decision felt clearly
and decisively. The interests of France
demand that the country shall no Ion
ger he menseed with revolution, nor de-

Advices from Washington are to the ef-

informed by Secretry Evarts, that it is the
Presidents pleasure to appoint gen

declined to submit name, as they were
solicited to do, the Secretary was informed
that if Col. Ingersol was rendered the pO-
sition, that it would be agreeable to them,
and to the people of the state. The thing
therefore is virtually done.

Il is asserted on the strength OF Washing
ton authority, that should the Senate pass
- Rlaod Silver bill, it viii meet its quiet
srs by refusal Of the President to sign 1t.
One Of the principal objections that the
President entertains against it, is, that the
mints shall run for the benefit Of private
silver bullionists. The trickery, therefore,
which secured the passage Of the bill, will
be likely to come to naught.

Wisconsin teaches Ohio lesson. In the
latter State, the Republicans truckled to
the Inhationists, rand lost. In the former
State, where the initiation craze is even
stronger than in Ohio. the Republicans re-
sisted it, pronounced for honest money
with a manly voice, and won the day. The
moral effect of the Wisconsin result is as
Massachusetts, in favor of the Administra-
ton. 1t indicates that the ebb of the
movement against resumption has begun,
and that the present House Of Representa-
tives was elecied year too early to repre-
sent the feeling Of the people on that all
controlling issue of the day.

The election in New York was a sur
prise to everybody. John Morrisey, who
could have carried his own district easily
enough, felt moved to beard Tammany
in its den, and deliberately went over into
Boss Kelley's own district, and gave battle
there. 1t was very curious fight. The
seventh district is the most intensely re-
spectacle in the city. 1t embraces Murray
Hill, and holds within its limits e'et
thing there is that is wealthy and arlSVo-
cratic in the city. The Democracy nolni-
mated one If their most respectable men,
Augustus schell, and spent money IKE
wafer Tammany felt the necessity Oh
bsafine this bold man, for If he coulu deIy
:t-.oT,er any one else could, and then
rbere would Tammany be? Morrlsey
ros sick from the beginning, and the few
-naecbes that we're made, at the risk OF his
life The most of the time he was in bed,
but he had trusty adherents, and his or
ders were faithfully carried out. Well,
the election is over, and John Mosrisey,
the gambler and law-breaker, goes back to
the senate of the state of New York from
the richest, most arstoeratic and law OBJ
serving District in the city. 1t was curl
GUS sight to see such men as Hamilton
Fish, Peter Cooper and ThurlOw Weed,
walk up to the polls and cast their ballots
for John Morrissy, and without any at
tempt at concealment. There is good
reason for it. Every New Yorker who
psys taxes feels that there is nothing to be
that is so dangerous as Tammany, and
that whatever strikes blow at Tsmmany
is the thing to do. In this case John Nor
risey was the only way to cripple Tam
many, and so it was John Morrisey. l
will say for John, though, that as bad as
he is in other respects, he has never de-
frauded the public as legislator. In his
official capacity he has been a square man.
He feels Just as good over his splendid vic
tory as Kelley feels bad. The Boss don't
