Mrs. GEN. SHERMAN AND ARCHBISHOP
PURCELL. Mrs. w. I. Sherman was call
ed upon the other day at the residence of
her daughter, Mrs. +. w. Elder, in Balti-
more, in reference to the feeling of the
Catholic ladies toward Arch bishop Purcell.
She appeared deeply interested in the sub
ject, and upon being asked what the ladies
of the United States would probably do for
the Archbishop, she replied, 81 don't think
they can properly do anything until Car
diDal McCloskey calls upon them officially.
1t is too stupendous matter for ladies 10
deal with except in an official and organized
manner
"Have you thought of any plan by which
the ladies could help the embarrassed
Arch bishop ?"
mo but the Catholic ladies, I think,
would take hold of any plan looking 20 his
relief. am confident of this" Speaking
of the Archbishop's troubles Mrs. Sherman
said that it was a terrible calamity, and has
been a severe blow TO her personally. She
bad known the Archbishop since she was
a little girl, and his brother for forty years,
and she added, "rhere are not two better
men in existence than they"
"What do you think of the objection be-
ing raised in some dioceses that by coming
to the assistance of the Arch bishop bad
precedent will be established ?''
why" she said earnestly, 81 think it
is not a bad pTecedent-on the contrary a
very good one. You might as well say we
should stand by aud see man drown, with
folded hands, for fear of establishing bad
precedent by saving him. IfIhad 81 900,
600 i would give it TO the Arch bishop if il
would save him. Are we to~tand by and
see him ruined ?'' she exclaimed. Il am
a woman, and, perhaps, it may appear
presnnptuous, but l don't see how they
can avoid aiding him.
In her opinion, the call for aid would be
cheerfully answered on all sides.

WE have been patiently waiting for the
last three weeks for some member Of the
House to introduce the customary joint
resolution for publishing and distributing
among the members Of the two houses sir
thousand additional copies of Smull's Leg
islative Hand Book. Mr.. Sherwood, a
Democratic member from York county,
undertook the job towards the close of las
week by offering the resolution. This ''son
OF York; offered joint resolution on the
11th Of last March for publishing and di-
viGing among the members precisely the
same number $1,000 of copies of the Hand
Book, and seems to be as much infatuated
with it as was Foster, some few years ago
a member from Schuylkill county, who es-
teemed SmulI's legislative statistics as be
ing-next in importance to the Bible. As
we have time and again said 10 deuouncing
this annual pilfering by the Legislature of
Smulls Hand Book, there is a standing
Joint resolution, approved on the 9th Of
May, 1871, which directs that one thousand
copies OF the Hand Book shall be published
annually for distribution among the Sena-
tors, aud ttco thousand copies for distribu-
tion among the members of the House
Under this resolution each member of the
Senate, at the beginning Of the session, re-
ceives ttoenty and each member of the
House ten copies Of this much priced Hand
Book II Sherwood's resolution passes,
each Senator will receive forty additional
copies, and each member ttosnty copies. II
. there is anything in the lowest grab game
+ that surpasses this performance of men
/ who are styled Honorable, we would like
I to be informed of it. When Sherwood S
resolution comes before the House, if the
Committee does not strangle it, as it ought
to do, if some member will simply ask The
/ clerk to read the joint resolution of May
9th, 1871, to which we have REFERRED, any
man who will vote for it when that is
done
would steal the gliding from an angels wing:
And rob the palace of the King OF Kings.'

CUPID's CAPERs.-A Sbelbyville, Iud.,
dispatch of the 9TH says: There has been
a queer courtship and marriage so much
out Of the ordinary run of such affairs as to
be worthy Of special mention for the en-
couragement Of respondent lovers. About
two months ago, a mutual TREND Induced
Mr. Jos. Baldwin, of johnson county, this
State, and Mrs. Virginia Hess OF Martins
vile, to enter into correspondence with
view to matrimony. Mr.. Baldwin had
reached the ripe age of eiehty-one years, is
q prominent member of the Christian
Church, and a well known and influential
citizen. After exchanging several letters,
be visited Mrs. Hess, who proved to be a
widow nearly sixty years old. They seem
to have fallen in love al first sight, as they
were married the next day. Thus the in
PRODUCTION, betrofhal and wedding all took
place in less than twenty four bours. The
friends of the parties were greatly surprised
at the marriage of the couple, who were
supposed to have reached an age proof
against Cupid darts. They are, however,
as loving as two turtle-doves, and have set
tied down to live in Franklin, this State,
apparently in the enjoyment of the greatest
earthly bliss.

WELL DONE The Democrats in the
House OF Representatives hsve done their
duty in insisting upon their amendment TO
the Legislative Appropriation bill repeating
the act appointing Federal supervisors over
elections for Congressman aud also in in
sisting upon their amendment to the Army
Appropriatiun bill prohibiting the presence
of United States troops at the polls on elec-
tion days.
The two houses failing to agree respect
ing these subjects, the bills were no. passed,
so that no appropriation has been made for
the support of the army; aud accordingly
an extra session is rendered. necessary. At
that session the Democrats, being in ma
jority in both Houses, will be able to pass
these two bills in the precise form in which
the Senate has now rejected them.
The thanks Of the country are due to the
Democratic members of the House for
standing firm to the last in behalf of these
amendments. because they were matters Of
vital and fundamental principle. The one
against the use of soldiers at the polls is of
the first moment; and it seems surprising
that Republican Senators should have con-
tended so obstinately for thing so dan
gerOus to liberty as a law empowering the
Executive 20 use the armed force of the
country for the purpose OF managing cleo
tiOns.
Hardly less important is the abolition OF
the system of Federal election supervisors
"a system of which Mr.. John |. Davenport
of this city has from the first been the most
conspicuous exemplaT. 1t is a vicious and
a noxious system. Thousands upon thous-
ands of officials have been appointed at
| i'm mportant elections, and large sums of
money expended to control the result in
the interest of the dominant party. This
system was not created through the enact
ment of an independent statute. The

| Congress. 1t was inserted. Unto an appro-
pria:ion bill in 1872 and passed at the end
of the session. 1t is eminently fitting
then, that it should now be repealed in an
appropriation bill.
We congratulate the Democratic party,
/ and we congratulate the country, upon the
fidelity and steadiness now displayed in
the SO matters by the House of Representa-
tives. Better five extra sessions than the
continuance of these uniustifiable, anti
democratic lsws!-N. Y Sun.

WHILE the members OF the House at
Harrisburg, Al an estimated expense OF one
hundred and sixty tE0us1ud dollar, to the
commonwealth, have voted to furnish the
National Guard with a military outfit sim
liar in all respects to that in use by the reg

has passed bill to third reading, which
provides FOR encampmeuts, inspections,
transportation, subsistence, additional Off
GERS, surgical instruments and medical out

nor more than thirty musicians for each

have it, all at The expense Of the State, and
hich will amount in the aggregate 10 a
sum At which any man may exercise his
ingenuity in guessing. The biz, in fact,
is 80 skilfullT drawn that we defy any one
to ascertain, or even to estimate, what the
cost will be aud what is still more ipiqui-
tous is, that the State Treasurer is required
TO pay all tho expenses without even aB
examination OF the accounts by the Auditor
General. The present Adjutant General is
ss well known for his love Of military dis
play as for his utter inef8ciency, and to
him under this bill full authority is given
to draw all warrants for the payment OF
expenses on the State Treasurer. With a
willing Legislature, no man eau tell what
the limit will be 10 this large demand or
the public treasury for military trappingr
and varlike displays.
