the number present at each reception
is never more than can be satisfac-
torily entertained. Another inno-
walton made by him upon usage is
that no drink stronger than coffee is
supplied at the supper table, but the
edibles are the best Of their kind,
and the Speaker is personally SO
much liked by his fellow members
that they rally at his receptions quite
unanimo usly, despite the drawback
of the mild nature of the beverage
dispensed.
The committees of the Senate and
House on the revision of the elector-
al laws held another Joint meeting
yesterday and entered freely upon
discussion Of the several propositions
submitted. The constitutional
amendment proposed by Mr.. South
ards subcommittee was rejected,
This amendment proposed to elect
the President and Vice President by
direct vote Of the people, and to d.
vide the electoral vote Of each State
among the candidates in proportion
to the popular vote received by each.
The Senate bill was discussed at
length, and the Senate committee
was in favor Of its adoption. At a
meeting Of the House committee,
held subsequent to the joint meeting,
a substitute for the Senate bill was
adopted. The only change of impor-
tance made in the Senate bill was in
relation to the decision of contested
returns. The Senate bill left the
decision with the State absolutely,
and the House substitute provides
that the decision shall stand as made
by the State unless changed by the
concurrent action Of the two Houses
of Congress. The committee will
hold frequent meetings from now on,
and are confident Of being able to
present proposition that will re-
ceive the approval Of Congress, dur
ing the present session.
The Judiciary committee of the
House are having frequent confer
ences, and as member of the House
says: ''trying to lick into shape" a
resolution providing for an investi-
cation into the alleged Florida fraud.
1t is not the intention of any men,
Der Of the committee to offer the re-
solution, but they will act as adyis-
DRY counsel for whoever does offer it.
Yesterday Mr.. Frye, of Maine, a
member Of the judiciary committee,
asked for ten days leave of absence.
He had aconference with colleagues
on the committee, and stated that he
was going away, but that if the COM
mittee, contemplated the offering of
any resolution on the Florida subject,
before the expiration Of ten days,
that he would postpone his departure
until the subject was disposed Of
He was assured that the committee
had no present intention Of bringing
the matter to the attention of the
House, and upon this assurance Mr..
Trye will take the leave granted him.
It is understood that Speaker Ran
dali holds that the offer Of resolu-
ton for investigation is not ques.
ton Of privilege. EDWARD.

SENATOR LAMAR, OF Mississippi, while
on his way to Washington last week, said
20 a new spaper reporter in Cincinnati that
the election in his State was rs peaceable
a. it - possible for an election TO be, and
that not a human being was molested or
made afraid, so far as his information ex-
tended. He also made another statement
FOR the special consideration OF those Re
publican leaders, like Coukhng aud Blaine,
who have seized hold OF ga solid South" as
an excuse fOr again exciting sectional auI-
mosi,ies, aud once more, preparatory to the
Presidential election, inaugurating bloody
shirt campaign. Mr.. Lamar declared that
as long as the right OF the people Of the
South to self government is made an issue
IN the national politics. the South viii
make Na; question the paramount question,
and " ill refuse to divide upon lesser ones.
This is the correct doctrine, and it would
be we'll if the leaders Of the Republican
party in the North would learn wisdom
from the admouition given them by :he
s-nator fuin Mississippi

SOME OF the newspapers in this State are
still indulging in the wild deiusOn that
of the Democratic aud anti
Cameron members of the Legislature will
yet be formed to defeat the re election of
Simon's son 20 the L. S. Senate. Their
wish is simply the. father to their thought.
OF all the Republican members who consti-
tute a majority Of % on joint ballot, we
have never beard Of more than ttc0 who are
openly opposed 20 Cameron. These are
Wolf Of Union, and Mapes, Of Nenango.
There are doubtless many others who ar
IDENTIFY wish that the cup OF Cameronism
would pass away from their lips, but they
are the mcle slaves of the Cameron ring,
and have not the manhood and courage to
assert aud carry out their own convictions
of duty. Sometimes we hear the name OF
Galusha 4. Grow mentioned as the man
upon whom the combination will be made,
and at others that it will probably be Judge
Agnew, who has su far fallen from his higt
estate as to be referred to in this connection
by the Johnstown Tribune as the "ngeanes
aEd most ungrateruE Of all mean and uH-
grateful men" 1t is idle to waste time
in discussing the chances Of defeating Cam
eron. He will be reelected, and that to,
10y Legislature which does uot contain
tuenfy Republicans who do not privatel
admit that it will be burning disgrace t
the State. Such is the unresisted power q
the Cameron ring over the better impulse
Of Republicanism in Pennsylvania.

THE unwelcoFne announcement IS uaade
that there Is no money in the State treasu-
ry for the payment of any farther portion.
Of the amounts appropriated by the lass
Legislature to the public institutions OF the
State. Col. Noyes, State Treasurer, said
few days ago that there will be deficit OF
nearly two millions of dullaTs in thep"esent
fiscal year after the last dollar an the trea-
rury has been paid out. Mr.. Wickersham,
Superintendent OF the Common Schools,
also stated last week that it was as useless
for him to draw school warrants against
the one million required to be appropriated
annually to the system as it would be to
draw bis check on bank in which he had
no funds. This disgraceful state Of
affairs is chargeabie to the Legislature in
the first place, and to the Governor in the
second 1t was the business of the Legis
lature to know that it was net apprcpriat-
ing more money than the public revenues
would meet, and this it could easily have
ascertained. Yet it plunged ahead reck-
lessly, making appropriations to all sorts
and description Of private institutions and
now the result is before the people of The
State. The Governor also should have
known full we'll whether the revenues would
meet the appropriations, and this know
ledge was easily within his reach. BY a
provision OF the new constitution the Gov
ernor is empowered 20 veto any items in
the general appropriation bill to which he
cannot give his approval, but we are not
aware that HartTanft has ever exercised
he privilege. The notion has become
prevalent that every private institution, no
matter whether it be literary or charitable
In its object, is entitled to an appropriation
out Of the State treasury, and from the
kind Of Legislatures the people have been
in the habit of electingS. for many years
past, the demand has generally been COM
piled with. The people are not in the
humor to stand any increase of taxation to
meet the wild appropriations Of reckless
Legislature, and new leaf must therefore
be turned over. That member OF the ap.
preaching Legislature who has the brains
and the nerve to take stand and maintain
( 1t against these useless and extravagant ap
propriations, aad to see that the public
funds shall only be applied to The purposes
expressed in the constitution, will deserve
we'll OF the people.

4 CLOSE oBsERFER exprosses it as his
Z CELEBRATE Judgment that female suffrage in
Tyeeniag Territory, where women have
tie same right to vote as their LORDS, is a
failure, not because the women are not
treated CONSIDERABLY, for separate polling
places are provided for them, but because
''poli;ics is out of their legitimate sphere. "
Very few OF the respectable women in the
Territory exercise the privilege which has
been conferred uptn ttem, and these who
do are usually taken to the polls by sport

STRANGE CONDUCT OF A SEA Gull
One OF the most remarkable and at the
same time pleasing incidents, sho wing the
power and influence of human kindness aud
gentleness, even upon the ''fowls of tue
air and beasts of the field" has come to
our knowledge within the past few days.
The incident occurred on board Of the
lightship off Frying Pan shoals, and is to
this effect During the prevalence of the
severe storm of the 18th of September
last, after the darkness of night had set in,
rendered douby gloomy and forbidding
by the bowling tempest that thundered
through the rigging, broke with furious
violence over the staunch vessel, and sent
the salty spray il phosphOrescent clouds
over the very mastheads, one Of the sea
men was leaning his elbow upon the port
rail of the ship, wal ching the storm as it
ragged in all It's grandeur and sublimity
( when a large black bird dashed through
/ the binding mist and lit upon the railing
near where be was standing. He took the
/ bird, which proved to be an ordinary sea-
/ gull, all wet and dIabbled by the storm,
/ and warmed and dried it in his bosom,
after which he placad.it in a little bed i'm
! prOvised for the occasion. after first feed
ing is, as il it had been little child. The
next morning, the storm having subsided,
our seaman turned the bird loose, of course
7 with no expectation of ever seeing it again.
Very much to bis s;rprise, however, on the
very next night, at about the same hour of
its previous visit, the gull again put in its
appearance, alighting upon the rail of the
ship as before, when it was fed, caressed
and cal ed for as on the occasion of its first
call, and from that time up to the 9th inst =,
neatly two mouths, when the latest infor
nation was received from the ship, the
bird had continued irs nightly visits anC
had been regularly fed and consigned to it,

a TERRIBLE MURDER SENSATION.-The
little State of Delaware was Oh Wednesday
of last week thrown into a fever of excite
ment over the intelligence of an alleged
attempt at murder committed near Middle

daughters, who have received cOnsideraS Sle at
tcntiOn in social circles. Some time ago the
daughters became mothers. The children we're
killed, aud :he coloTed man mentioned above,
James Jones, was hired to bury them, and
few days ago, however, he told the story To
q cOlured woman. ON Tuesday two men named
Vincent and NewcOme caught Jones and lock
ed him up in the DUdSOn's barn. promising to
do him no BARN il he would leave the State,
This he agreed to do. and on Tuesday night the
two men accompanied by Mrs, DudSOn, started
with the negro in carriage for Delaware
About midnight, in u woods near Nandy Ike :
station, this side OF the Delaware line, the men
i took Jones and prepared to xiii him. He beg
ged hard for life and promised never to return
I but the woman told the men TO kill him and be
done with il. They fired. both bullets taking
effect in the negro's head. and then dragged him
a short distance into the woods and left him for
dead. He revived, however, sufficiently TO
reach a farm house, where a magistrate was
