A Careful Mother.

When Wilhelmj was at Lancaster he
was asked by newsboy to buy paper.
Wilhelmj declined to purchase but
handed the boy dollar ''to make him
glad," as he expressed it. After the
concert, while Wilhelmj was busily
engaged packing up, boy appeared on
the stage and inquired for him. Prof
Berg asked him what he wanted. The
boy replied, "I want note" "What
for ?" inquired Prof Berg. "Why, said
the boy, with visible emotion, she gave
a dollar, and my mother won't believe
it. She says | must have note
from him that it's all right" Prof
Berg promptly wrote note 10 the desir-
ed effect and the boy went away with
smiling face and light heart.

DISCUSSING the causes of the depression
in English trade, the Pail Mall Gazette
remarks that the substitution of steel
for iron by the Bessemer process, and
still more by the elimination of phos-
phorus from the Cleveland ores (now
positively accomplished) is a revolution
as great as followed upon theinventions
of Crompton and Arkwright. 1t means,
most probably, the total decay of the
iron trade of North and South Wales, of
Scotland, and of large part of Stafford
shire. In the end it will largely benefit
England, but the transition is full of
suffering.

If WE could only give our own Legis-

sets lawmakers have received from the
State press. They have cut down all
the salaries-beginning with their own
department = abolished a number of
offices consolidated several commissions,
and taken new start in the manage
ment of charities and corrections, which
will result in the still further diminu-
ton of the expense of their manage
ment. They have also passed consti-
tutional amendment providing for bien-
nial legislation, and reduced the State
tax from million to half million.
Lastly, they have gone home.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
wAsnlNoroN, D. O, Nav I. 1s7i

WASHINGTON, ID. O., May 7, 1879.
After the President vetoed the Army bill,
some days since, there was great deal of
caucusing among Democrats on the ques-
tion how TO secure all or most of the polti-
cal Legislation embodied in that bill, and
still not refuse supplies to the Army. It
was finally decided to put at once through
House and Senate bill covering some of
the points objected to by the President,
emitting others, and varying the form of
still Others and to defer final action on the
Army and Legislative appropriation bills
until the President had vetoed or approved
it. This bill was prepared and was intro
duced on Monday by Mr.. Ladd, Greenback
Democrat, and Yesterday passed the House
by strict party vote. 1t will pass the
Senate in a few days. 1t is as follows:
BE & enacted, &c., That it shall not be
lawful to bring to, or employ at any place
where general or special election is being
held in State any part of the Army or
Navy of the United States unless such force
be necessary to repel the armed enemies of
the United States, or to enforce section a,
of the Constitution of the United States,
and the laws made in pursuance thereof,
on application of the Legislature or execu-
tive Of the State where such force is to be
used"
The Senate was engaged yesterday for
some time in discussion as to whether or
not testimony should be taken concerning
the right of Judge Spafford to the seat In
the Senate now held by Gov. Kellogg
The probability is it will be decided that
the Senate, by seating Kellogg, settled the
matter finally.
There will be an early report from the
Senate Finance Committee in favor of the
House bill allowing the exchange of small
silver coins for Greenbacks and to make
such coins legal tender to the amount of
$50. The bill will probably pass.
To the surprise of many William e.
Chandler of New Hampshire, has been
elected Secretary of the Republican Con-
gressional Campaign Committee, over Geo,
G. Gorham. The "Greenback' opinion
of Mr.. Gorham doubtless contributed to
his defeat.
Extraordinary efforts are being made
here to secure an imposing display on
"Memorial Day." The most beautiful of
our National Cemetery is at Washington,
across the Potomac from this city, and on
the 90th of each May for many years the
ex-solders of this section have assembled
there to celebrate the day. That of this
year will be larger than any which have
preceded it.
Secretary Sherman has not returned
from Ohio. There is an immense amount
of curiosity as to what this veteran politi-
clan is attempting to accomplish, but the
opinion is universal that he will not know
ingly do anything to iDjure his own chances
for the Republican Presidential nomina-
tion. OLIVE.

Timber on Fire in Berks County.

PoTTsTowN, May GA fire on
chain of high hills in Union township,
Berks county, is destroying hundreds of
acres of timber. The flames seem to
have originated on Bear hill and are
rapidly extending eastward, doing great
damage, with little hopes of their being
soon extinguished. The loss will be
heavy. The cause of the fire has not
been learned.

BELLAIRE LOCALS.

1t is singular fact, but the news
from Columbus didnt create a bit OF
enthusiasm on its reception on Thurs
day evening. After Col. Poorman's
message arrived a painful, yes we might
say, rery painful silence seemed to
take possession of the whole city. The
little iollfcation which We contemplated
is, we are sorry to say, "indefinately
postponed" Experience is the best
teacher mankind will believe" and in
consideration of that fact Bellairo will,
il she ever makes another effort to have
the county seat moved, provide herself,
or rather her lobbyists, with the neces-
sary requisites To touch the tender chord
of a State Legislature. st. Clairsville,
it seems, was better ,.osted than Bellaire
in this particular, and went prepared
with "bottled requisites" in sufficient
quantity to postpone the bill, orin other
words, to defeat it, Every dog has his
day, however, and Bellaire's will doubt
less come next
We were shown programme OF an
entertainment to be given in the vicinity

cert and the rendition of three farces,
after which there will be more music
and the performances will close. From

an intermission will be allowed for break

claim that he already has his organiZa-
ton so complete that he can count
enough Delegates who will be in the
Convention to secure his nomination on
the first ballot.
JUDGE GILMORE is left without oppo-
sition for a denomination for the SUI
preme Bench. He has been most COM
petent and faithful Judge, and deserves
a second term-or any number OF terms,
for that matter.
THERE is a quiet move among some OF
the statesmen at Columbus to draft
General James B. Steedman into service
as the Democratic candidate for Govern
or this year. Old Chickamauga, how
ever. saws he'll not stand it. He's for
Uncle Dick.
Hon. SAM CRAIGHEAD, OF Dayton,
would be an available man for the Re-
publicans to run for Governor this
year. The only mistake that he would
have 10 explain would be how he came
to stand as godfather to Judge West two
years ago.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEGROES.
The Failure of Their Liberian
Emigration Scheme-Not Anx-
ions to Go West.

CHARLESTON, April l3.-The negro ex-
odus TO the West has not yet taken any
practical shape in this State. There is
a spirit OF dissatisfaction among the col
ored people, fostered by their former
leaders. This took shape some time ago
in Liberian fever. They purchased a
vessel, the Azor, and sent her out with
one cargo OF passengers. The enterprise
was badly managed, many emigrants
died on the passage, and the ship was
run so deeply in debt that she is now
libelled in this port for all that she was
worth. Public subscriptions have so
often been taken up for the Azor in the
negro churches that charity has come
TO an end, and there is little hope of her
redemption. In all probability she will
be sold, and the last hope OF return to
Africa abandoned by the negro.
This misfortune has made the race
chary of emigration schemes, and most
of them have settled down to spending
their days in their native land. But
there are some who are trying to work
out Mr.. WINDOWS idea OF forming a
negro Republican state out OF one OF the
Western Territories. DR.. Champlin, a
very intelligent coiored man, appears to
lead this idea. He is holding meetings
nearly every night among his race, and
they are discussing the situation, pro
and con, in its minutest particulars.
They have not decided upon any plan
of operation. and may abandon it alto
gether. Some of the Democrats wo' Vi
like to see them go, but there are -
ers who would prefer their rem. =
ing.
There is no prospect OF the scheme
developing strength for years to come
to materially hurt the industry OF the
State. The most of the cotton made in
South Carolina is made by white labor,
and in those sections Of the State where
the whites are numerous there is slow
but constant influx of a laboring white
class from the North and Northwest.
This will gradually spread over the
State, and will increase in proportion to
the diminution of the colored race. This
diminution is going on, occasioned by
the fearful death rate, and is likely to
continue. Where the whites and blacks
are equal in number there are about
three cOlored deaths TO one white.
The public provisions for the sick poor
are better under the Democratic Govern
ment than formerly; but the death rate
has not diminished.

Republican Caucus.

WASHINGTON, April lS.--A joint Re-
publican caucus of Senators and Repre-
sentatives was held tonight for the pur-
pose of appointing Congressional Com
paign Committee and transacting any
other business that might be laid before
them. Representative Frye acted as
chairman.
The resolution heretofore adopted de-
claring that no more pairs should be
made by the Republican members OF
the House, was reconsidered, and it was
agreed that the executive committee
should designate committee to take
charge of and arrange for the pairing Of
the gentlemen who may desire it.
The advisory caucus committee re-
ported that the Republican members OF
the House should offer no dilatory mo-
tons or resort to fillibustering to pre-
vent the introduction of general legisla-
ton during the session, but that they
should quietly oppose the consideration
of all legislation beyond appropriation
bills which were the cause OF the extra
session. Recommendation unanimous
ly adopted.
