members of the Senate was held this
afternoon in response to q suggestion
that measures should be concerted for
a closer working Of the Republicans as
a party and body in dealing with mat.
tiers coming before them in the bust.
ness of the Senate. During the meet.
ing a good deal of discussion arose con.
corning the recent speech Of Senator
Howe and the questionable policy Of
division being created further in the
Republican party by such expressions
as were made by Senator Howe. A por.
ton of the debate had reference to the
great necessity of preventing any spe-
cial qualification being afforded to the
Democratic party by the evidence that
there was either present or growing
dissension in the councils OF the Repub.
Leans. 1t is denied that any effort
was made either to whip the Hayes
Senators INTO line, or, On the part Of
the latter, that any plea was made In
behalf ofthc desired cooperation of tb,
anti-Hayes Senators with the policy Of
the President. Senator Conkling dit

"a PAIR OF JAcKs."-Two Pennsyl.

selves in their true character In the
Capital last week. The editor OF
the Philadelphia Times in abiding
to their debut says; Thompson and
White, the Pennsylvania Congress
men who hunted in pairs for the
Registersbip of the Treasury end
didn't find it until they holed 1t in
Judge Scofeld's pocket, babbled right
out their grievance and their emphatic
resentment of the treatment they had
received from the President and Sec
rotary of the Treasury but when cool
ing time had logged around and sober.
cd their throbbing hearts and they
read their own speeches in the news
papers, they concluded that some peo.
pie had played the fool, and they
weren't quite sure that it wasn't them
selves. Then the amisble and accom-
modating Associated Press was called
into requisition as it often is to heal
the selfinficted wounds OF thought
less politicians, and a general denial OF
all and singular the cuss words repor.
ted in the heat of the first instalments
Of the story was sent out to vibrate
over the continent but the average
correspondent isn't an oyster to be
shut up in that way, and he reiterates
the story just as if tbs truth was to be
told on all occasions regardless of the
changeablc fancics and variable inter
ests of the average Congressman"

1872, told the crowd that he was no,

tive OF the Coliax- Bcecher class OF pub
lie men, who have so nearly ruined th,
morals and business interests Of tn,

rect any of that class is beyond oul

when the Legislature met in January,

THE FIRE FIESp.-About 10 o'clock
on Monday night ofthe 25th ultq a fire
broke out in the Wholesale Drug store
OF Messrs. II. X. Wampole q Co., in
the 9th ward, Philadelphia. This
ward is bounded by Chestnut street on
the South, Seventh street on the West,
Vine street on the North and the Del
aware river on the East. Tho Mer-
chants Hotel is located about in the
centre of the ward. The fire broke
out on the corner Of 4th and Cherry
streets and destroyed all the buildings
on the East side of 4th street from l09
North TO 1913, burning about forty
stores and dwellings worth s2,000,00
and turning out Of employment 1900
men and women, A strong wind was
blowing from the West when the fire
broke out causing fires to break oul on
Second and Front streets by burning
shingles and boards lodging on the
roofs. The residents on Cherry street,
which is a narrow street running West
from Third street, to the Schuylkill
river, between Arch and Vine streets,
were the worst sufferers. That 0 Chi
cago disaster was ~averted, all agree,
because of the vigilance of the fremen.

GENERAL lMPuDENcE.-This Is the
title General Sherman will am il he
does not continue to attend to his iegit-
innate business as an officer and a citi.
zen of the Republic. The Democrats
in Congress are laborirg day and night
to reduce the huge expenses of the
government, and in doing so they find
that the army is one of the biggest
steals on hand, because il is composed
chiefly Of high salaried officers. Hence
the great expense. The Philadelphia
Commonwealth gives the General Of
the Army" this friendly advice "Brag
Sherman's attack on General Banning,
chairman of the Committee on Militia
ry Affairs of Congress, is the most
alarming example of the arrogance and
impudence of the army that has at
tracted public notice. The safety Of
our institutions demands that the
army be reduced, and the shoulder
straps made to know that they eat the
bread of ldleness out Of the pockets OF
the starving industries of the country.
These staff officers are at best politi.
clans, who if not supported by the peo-
pies money would be paupers."

CoSvnNr'oSs.-The "Grccnbackcrs,'
or, as they have recently baptized
themselves, "The Nationals" had FIX.

Democrats next agreed upon the 22d

at Harrisburg. Since then the green
back" or national leaders, have chang
cd the time for holding their State
Convention to the 18th of May, the
same day the Radicals hold theirs. The
sale of the Nationals TO the Radicals
is therefore complete already, and
the Democrat must be very blind
who cannot see through this arrange.
ment. How much "hand-money' was
paid nobody knows but the leaders
on both sides. That the Nationals
were for sale was well understood, by
counties, at least, for cash and office,
or either, all active politicians know
but few expected that the negotiation
would be closed so early in the season.

two hundred and thirty-four persons

eight for robbery, sixteen for burglary
three for counterfeiting and one FOL
arson. If men were hanged for these

White said they had been treated in

at the emphatic language of White

Mr.. Thompson, impatiently waiting
for an opportunity, said, "What in the

be viewed with satisfaction, but in tbis
case there is something to regret. Al
the last election in the Third district Of
Massachusetts, Mr.. Dean, Democrat,

count of the election officers, but Field,
the Republican candidate, claimed that
clerical errors had been committed
which, If corrected, would give him
the seat, The charges having been
put in proper legal form a recount was
had, verifying Mr.. Fields statement
and returning him elected by a majo'
rity Of FIVE. These are the simple facts
in the case. Neither Mr.. Field nor Mr..
Dean have charged any fraud in the
votes themselves and the whole ques-
ton turned upon the point whether
the original or revised finding of the
judges should DO recognized. Tochni-
cally perhapst the former had the strong
est arguments in its favor, but the
equity was entirely on the side Of the
latter. Mr.. Field received the most
votes and his title TO his seat should
have been recognized. As il was, par
tisanship prevailed over higher inter

We do not question the motive OF any

Democratic party cannot afford to fol-
