"C,ome walk up, Jerry Callahan;
Thou bad, bold bouncing boiSterOus man!
O, why abuse thy faithful spouse
And smash the chattels in thy house?"
70, Judge told her was sick
And wanted schooner, p. d. quick;
But she proceeded too blamed Slow,
And that is why damned her So"
Fudge Moses blandly informed Jerry that
Che only physician competent to heal him
was DIR. Bowling, at the Work-house.
Taking this gentle hint, Jerry packed his
Saratogas and hied him to Morgan's sum-
Eier resort for three-months' stay.
Said his Honor Moses,
When droop the roses,
And leaves fall in October;
Again can begin,
Poor Katie Sheekin,
Her life, all straight and sober.
Old Katie had interceded eloquently in
her own behalf for ten days in the Work
house to sober up, but in the generosity of
his heart, the Judge gave her three months,
with the privilege of purchasing the insti-
tution at the expiration of her lease if she
desired.
r. Mitchell, charged with dealing in pol
ley which is good policy for Robert, but
mighty poor policy for his customers, had
been released on his own reCOgniZanCe TO
appear this morning. He did not recognize
Bis recognizance, however, and capias was
ordered in his favor, with instructions to
the officers to permit him to contemplate
the checker-board down stairs.

Question.

NEW YORK, July S0.-A Herald Maine
special says, the Republican State Commit,
tee has been in session discussing the pros
poets Of the campaign. Only one question
comes up prominently, and that is the at
titude of the party on the financial question.
The sweep which the Greenback element
has made in all the districts of the State
made it necessary for the Republicans to
declare themselves squarely.
The entire Congressional delegation is
here, including the venerable Hannibal
Hamlin and Mr.. Blaine. Mr.. Blaine fought
for the word "Coin," while Hamlin, Frege,
Hale and Powers insisted on the old hard
money platform of gold or its equivalent.
Hamlin and his followers insisted that
the only way to save the party was to come
out squarely for hard money, raise the old
war cry and rally the entire voting strength
of the party for final struggle.
in favor of silver, maintains that the new
dollar is now part Of the currency, and
the word ''coin" would be more
in harmony with the views OF
large portion of Republicans and its adop-
ton in the platform would keep many men
who now lean toward the greenback doc
trine from seeding.
The general desire is to keep this ques-
ton out of the Convention. 1t is under
stood the gold men succeeded in carrying
their point, and the party will go into the
campaign to try the issues with the Green
hackers on an out and out hard-money plat
form.

A SINGULAR RRECLusE.-Within the limits
of York County, Pa. there lives man who
has never been outside of his house since
some time during the war, and has never
come in contact with any person except
members of his own immediate family. He
has fair education. is tall, well-built and
hcallhy-looking He occupies his time in
reading and doing odd jobs about the
kitchen, though never venturing out of the
house for fear of observation. The cause of
his secluson seems to have been fear of
being drafted into the army, his desire be-
ing to study law, and after short confine-
ment his desire for hiding became chronic,
and to-day he is still in seclusion.

it looks like sharp device on the part
ofshrewd and cunning lawyers to collect
a debt by method not now provided
by law, which is hardly justifable.
They have undertaken to undo the
work of previous legislature, and
abolish laws when in fact their only
mission was to revise and codify them.
And it looks as if they have done this
with more of a desire to serve private
ends than to promote the public well
fare We hope the Legislature will not
crown their efforts with success, but will
''squelch" all eztraneous matter SNUG

Rebel Claims in Congress.

The confederates in congress cannot
wait until they come into full pos
session of the government before
presenting their rebel war claims
and demanding payment from the
United States. The House spent
nearly the whole day last Friday in
considering a bill to pay $4,000, to
Il New Y ork firm as rent for -four
ing mill in Alexandria, Va, that
vas used and occupied by Union
troops during the war.. The loyal
ty of the claimants is understood to
be unquestioned, but the testimony
Ill the case showed that the mill at
the outbreak of the war was leased
Co parties who were using it to fur
nish supplies to the rebel army.
The probabilities are that there was a
double barreled arrangement to hold
the property in good shape, what
ever side conquered. The Repub-
Hcan side of the House, led by Con-
ger, made an attack on the princi-
pie of these payments, quoting Til
denis letter with much effect, and
the claim was warmly urged and
defended by the Democrats. Fin
ally the committee of the whole re-
ported the bill back to the House
favorably, and it was put to vote,
but enough Northern Democrats
vetcd in the negative to defeat the
raeasure by small majority. A
motion to reconsider was entered, SO
that the bill is now in a suspended
condition. Behind this measure is
the William and Mary College bill
and behind them both stand hun
areds Of other claims, amounting to
hundreds of thousands OF dollars
1t will be strange if they do moi
pass the House, where the confeder.
ates have their own way in every
thing, but the bill will hardly rur
the gauntlet of the Senate, or ge
beyond pigeon-hole in the Presi
dents office. But the animus O
the Democratic party is shown al
the same, and people can see wha
they have reason to expect if th'
government should pass into tn,
hands of the Democracy.

OF which items were paid in full by the
Republican Board. Further than this,
at the end of the year there was in the
treasury S4,S4S 81 in cash. and everv
dollar of the current expenses of the
city for the year had been paid. CITY
orders were not then hawked about the
streets, as now, at discount. This
year, the taxes raised amount to $50.
600 90; or $4,000, more than assessed
by the Republican Board in 1875, and
yet this large amount does not cover
the expenses of the present year by
several thousands of dollars But we
presume that Democratic taxpayers
will cheerfully foot the Increased bills
for the sake of enjoying the luxury of
a simon pure Democratic administra-
tan. We do not say that Democrats
could not administer the affairs of the
city as economically as did the Republi-
can Board in 1875, but somehow the
fact has never been shown. That kind
Of Democrats are not elected to Office
here as a general thing. If one hap
pens to attain a position and shows
himself averse to rings and steals, and
Is disposed to scan bills too closely, he
is doomed to an early retirement from
public life. And this is why taxation
IN Waterfowl grows apace from year to
year, and taxpayers can find no relief
1t may net be SO always, and we hust
1t WI u not be. But when relief comes

A Sharp Collecting Dodge.

We are glad to notice that we are
not alone in condemning the commits
sion appointed to revise and codify the
laws of this state. for having transcend
cd their duty and introduced new mat
ter IN their report. The Milwaukee
Commercial Times has very sensible
letter upon the subject from its Madison
CORES pendent, in which 10 shown up in
Its proper light this abuse Of power by
the revisers. They were not asked nor
instructed to frame new laws. They
we're simply expected to revise and CO.
dify-to put in shape existing statutes,
that their provisions may be harmoni-
Gus and not conflicting as at present.
Instead of this, however, they have, as
the Commercial Times we'll says,
mistaken their prerogatives and un-
dertaken somewhat sweeping reform
alton of existing laws" We printed
last week one of the new provisions, re-
lasive to the collection ofjudgments in
cities and villages, (sec. 929), which is
in direct contravention of the present
law upon that subject. 1t wipes out of
existence the specia! act passed tor the
protection of Waterfowl, and if adopt.
ed as reported by the revisers, means a
rate of taxation here equivalent to con.
fscation. These revisers are paid SIS
each per day for their services. We
mean this is the compensation received
by them from the state. But it will
be shame if the holders of bonds
against Watertown, Kenosha, Mineral
Point, and other cities do not recognize
the great service rendered them by the
revisers and see that they do not 60

judgments against these localities can
