DECKING SENATORIAL CHAIRs.-The
canvass for the vacant Senatorial 81 ats In
the > ates Of North Carolina, Connect
cut, Illinois, Wisconsin, aud Arkansas is
interesting owing 10 the fact that several
candidates are in the field in each of the
States named. In North Carolina there
appears TO be little doubt of the election
OF Ex-Governor Vance 10 the seat now
occupied by Mr.. Merrimon. The latter is
making hard fight to retain losses
ION uut without avail. In Arkansas the
choice Is said to be between Mr.. I'D.
Walker, an eminent lawyer of the north
western par OF the State, and Colonel
X. w. johnson, of Little Rock. The
latter was memb r of the Confederate
Senate, and served in Congress before the
war. The st. Louis Republican con-
cludes that Mr.. Walkers chances are by
lar tue best. In Wisconsin Ex-senator
Matt Carpenter is in the field, but with
The chances considerably against him.
General Logan will probably be returned
from Illinois. The indications in Con-
necticut are that General Hawley will be
sent TO the Senate as the successor of
Senator Balnum.

PAYING IN SCRIP.-It seems to b,
novel that SO great corporation as til,
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, tha
a few years ago was considered so i'm
mensely wealthy should have been sC
reduced that il has not been able to pay
its employees, and now is compelled Il
pay them in scrip, yet this announce
ment was made yesterday. And even
this mode of payment has given great
joy to the thousands of laboring EN-
ployees, firemen and engineers that are
required upon the road. 1t is not long
since this corporation went into the
market, under the direction of its Presi-
dent, and expended many millions of
dollars in coal lands at the exorbitant
price of one thousand dollars an acre.
These purchases were made to keep other
parties from securing the coal fields and
opening up rival roads. The debt thus
incurred of some nineteen millions of
dollars, added to debts already upon the
corporation, increased the interest ac-
count, and, together with the change in
the times and the fall in the price of
coal, rendered the road unable To meet
its liabilities with promptness, and thus
the once supposed rich and opulent
road, that with an iron hand crushed out
all opposition; our Wilmington and
Reading, as well as others, finds itself
too poor to meet even its daily outlay of
running expenses. A little over one year
ago its stock which was selling readily in
the market for $J4 share, will not now
bring more than $3.50. Coal, which is
the chief source upon which this road re-
lies for its support, is one of the actual
necessaries Of life; and yet every effort
to monopolize the carrying trade thereof,
so that the price of the article could be
increased TO such an extent as to permit
a rate for freight, sufficient TO make the
road pay, has failed, and it has been
compelled TO resort to the issue of scrip
10 its laborers. 1t is not pleasant thing
TO contemplate and it is little wonder
that so many merchants, manufacturers
and business men have been compelled
10 go under, when the hard times work
such change in such immense concerns
as the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
Company.

WAsIiINGTON, December 20.-A re-
port has reached here from Indiana TO the
effect that the Indiana Nationals have
formed combination with the Republi-
cans whereby the Rev. Delamatyr. Con-
gressman-elect from that State, il To he
sent TO the United States Senate instead
Of voorhees,. The terms of the bargain
are further said to include the organiza-
Aon OF the State Senate for the Nationals
and the election of Republican to Con
gress to fill the vacancy caused by the
elevation of DelamatyI. This baroain
would give the Republicans control of
the delegation and prevent the proposed
reapporionment of the S'ate. The
story Of this bargain, however, is dis
credited at the National headquarters
here. Chairman Devices, of the National
Executive Committee, has not heard of

tary, says; 81 am in constant correspon-
dence with Mr.. Delamatyre, and, if such
thing is contemplated have not heard

THE big boys at Washington have
gone into the holiday business until the
7th Of January. Our schools have not
yet fixed upon the time for their holi-
days. The poor business people here toll
on without any holiday save Christmas.
However, there has been greater progress
made this year than before in the duties
of Congress, and we hope they will be in
good trim when they reconvene to go on
with the public work with as little talk

The CITY TREASURY MUpDIE-
The sharp letter OF the Finance Com
mittee of the City Council to that BODY
as report upon the letter of City Treasu-
rer Vincent, has given the latter quite a
shock. 1t was not generally known that
the City Treasurer really handled so lit
tie money as $1,000 per annum; nor v as
1t understood by citizens generally that
all money paid out by the City Treasurer
was paid with orders drawn upon bank
signed first by both the President and
the Clerk OF the Council and then by the
City Treasurer ; yet this is fact, as all
who have received money know. We
think this information is quite importan
and we reproduce here the paragraphs
from the letter Of the Committee, as they
say, for general information
"Your committee would state for pener.

THE Philadelphia Times claims to be
an independent newspaper, and we there
fore copy the following from its editorial
cohlmns. 1t will be seen that il charges
John Sherman with doing Just what the
GAZETTE has all along asserted he was
guilty of. If he has tLus used the public
money TO foster his favorite banks, he has
no doubt used the government gold to
enable the brokers TO speculate in it as
deeply
"Mr. Hewitt succeeded yesterday in
getting into the CongreSSiOudi Record
the fact TO which the Times already has
called attention, that Secretary Sherman
has kept on deposit for six months past
IN the First National Bank Of New York.
a balance averaging over thirty millions
oil dollars. This is shown by the Secre
tary reply to resolution of iuuuir-y
from the House, as also that the balance
IN this favored bank has been as hiph as
folty-iive millions at one time. To Sc
cure this enormous sum less than three
millions iii United States bonds are
pleugtd with the Treasurer, and this
WIN bank OF half a million capital
HE bank, of course, pays nothing to the
United States for this deposit, but a hun
dred thousand dollars month would be
a moderate estimate of the prof derived
from It's use. 1t is not wonderful that
Congress should wish to inquire into thus
business. The whole amount of govern
ment funds deposited with the United
y ates Bank, the withdrawal of which.
by General Jackson, turned the whole
country upside down, was but ten mil
hon dollars. Secretary Sherman has
kept six times that amount with his
special loan repositories" the greater
part with a single bank This is peril
Gus power to leave with any man."

EX-GOVERNOR BULLOCK, Of Georgia,
who won some distinction as a carpet
baSger some years ago, says that the
colored people in that state now vote the
Democratic ticket when they vote at all,
and enjoy equal rights with the whites.
In Delaware they won't vote the Demo-
cratic ticket because the Democrats do
not pay their taxes, since by doing so
they would stand good chance to be
brought before the U. S. Court under the
Enforcement Law, with perhaps ma
jority of the jury of negroes to try the
case. If the Enforcement Law were re-
pealed we have no doubt the Democrats
would compete with the Republicans for
negro votes through the payment of the
negroes taxes. Notwithstanding Demo
Gratis have been heard to say they could
vote the negroes now if they wished to
do so, and party rules would admit of it.

Old Barbara Allen. who died the other
day in rags and wretchedness, left behind
her considerable property, but she also left
will, and the little party of eight or ten
that met to mourn for her at the Public Ad-
ministrators office last Monday may now
dry their tears or hereafter shed
them from unselfish motives. She had
twelve trunks full Of odds and ends
and twelve thousand odd dollars, Of which
three married women named, with, in each
case, the condition that the sums be free
from all control Of their respective hus-
bands. A handsome fee is reserved for her
lawyer, and the residue goes to the Society
for Destitute Seamen. The will is dated
must even then have been person Of sub
stance. But what a strange career Of scrap
ing in misery to die miserably is sug-
gested in that lapse of time! She was
evidently woman with q will of her own
and an opinion upon woman's rights, rs her
individual requests and her divorce away
back in 1S49 would show. But she had some
love OF her old companions In the days when
she was a stewardess ut sea, rs seen in her
largest Legacy. So, after all, there was some
kindly purpose under her avarice. Like
most hcroines Of romance in real life the
tale does not proceed on artistic lines,
but loses its interest here and there.
Yet it is out of such materials
that the fction-weaver makes his
most striking characters. Like Barbara
Allan of the old ballad she was hard
natured without but capable Of feeling
within, and probably something touched
her once to kindly remembrance, as with
the proud village beauty who went un-
moved from the death bed of her knightly
lover
She hadna game mile but iva
