GOVERNOR MCCLELLAND OF New Jersey,
the great Chickahominie ditcher has
sent a very fine letter to the Senate of
New Jersey, against appointing par
tisan judiciary and in favor Of having
the Judges taken from both parties as
always had been done in New Jersey
from time immemorable, and he hoped
always would be done by his Successors
in Office; accompanying the message
came batch of nominations, but in
four of the counties the nominees were
all Democrats, thus going square back
on his message. The Republican Sen
ate would have confirmed all his nomi
nations had it not been for his message
which was 50 much the opposite of his
ctions. They plead with him to make
change and give the Republicans one
Judge in those counties where they had
always had one but he replied that to
the victors belonged the spoils. They
then tried to get the Governor TO with
draw his message, but this he refused
to do also, and so the dead lock con-
tinues and the appointments will not
be confirmed by the Senate. This is
little MAG the ditcher.

The GG:eie is unreasonable in its
criticisms. 1t objects to ar article ad-
vocatiug an increase Of pay for the lie
gislature, because We gave som" very
pungent reasons why they should have
a higher salary, and among these rea-
sons were the facts tina, our Legislature
strained things a little sometimes to
get as much out OF the Office as posi-
bic, such as paying themselves 50 Sun
days include |, in gold, when gold was
$50 and 200. But the Gazette condemns
us further because We did not find fault
with Congress, because it pays itself
for the whole time, and its members
get from $50 to $50 day. This may
b- true, with this difference between
til. Delaware Legislature and the
United States Congress; the salary of
members of the first is S. per day, .x.
pressly stated, and for the latter, s., 900
annually, just as expressly stated. II
Congress would st whole year. a
member would be entitled to only
s. 900, or If it don't sit at al! he is Ell.
titled to the same. II is not far to say
tina, Congressman get $50 day, for
when their yearly salary is reduced to
lays wages it i, only $3.50. But If
the "Gazptte" wants US to say that
congressman and other high United
States officials ale paid too much, We
agree with it, and say yes, certainly,
and we Join LANDS with the "Galette'
in its crusade against high salaries.
We ther suspect, though, that the
editor of that paper only makes high
salaries an excuse for chance to at
tack the army officers, against whom
he seems to have an undying hatred.
We have no recollection Of hearing the
editor say a word against Congress-
man Biggs, who was in Congress when
the salary was raised, voted to raise it.
took the back pay salary grab and
kept it. Had Mr.. Biggs been radical
how the "Gazett-" would have boiled

A Profitable Business.

II money maki..s was the aim OF our
government, We are willing to admit il
could 60 into no more profitable specu
lation than the making and issuing of
paper money, as IL has been doing for
sixteen years past. II there were 10
constitutional objections, We should
deem it our duty to advocate such a
course. 1t would not only give the
country the best currency It has ever
known, but be doing very profitable
business for itself at the same time.
The destruction of paper money is sim
ply incredible. 1t is torn, burnt, lost
and destroyed in many WAYS in almost
incredible amounts 1t is believed that
nearly fourteen millions of fractional
currency will never be- presented for
redemption. There are still over four
millions of the first issue outstanding,
yet only three dollars Of it were pre-
scented last month tor redemption. This
is at the rate Of thirty six dollars per
year. How long will it 10 before II all
comes in 1t has also been estimated
that there has been loss of notes OF
about two million dollars annually, or
over thirty millions in all. There is
also million and a half Of old interest
besring debt, long overdue and called
in, but which has ne or been presented
and never will be. 1t also claims all
the national bank notes that ar. never
presented for redemption, aud Of the
banks that have already gone out OF
existence it has made about q million
OF dollars. Summing up all the losses
to the present time, 1t is probable the
government has made about fifty mil
lions of dollars out Of the destruction
Of fractional currency, grssnbAcks and
national bank otss.

A Pleasant Surprise.

LASDESBERG, Pa, Feb. S, 1879.
MEssRs. EpIroRs seldom in the
course Of human events, In or near this
particular locality, do We have q more
successful affair than a surprise which
came off on ths Sd inst, at the resi-
dence Of J. w. and A. N. Stack house,
1t being the 10th anniversary Of their
wedding. The party to the number Of
some forty odd, assembled at the resi-.
dsnce of Mr.. Samuel Msgilligan, at an
early hour in the morning, and then
under the leadership of Mrs. Leah and
Miss Mary Megilligan, they proceeded
TO the residence of Mr.. aud Mrs. s., ar.
irving there about 1890 A. M.
They found Mr.. $. engaged in reading
the paper, and Mrs. s. instructing q
party, who were in the secret, a new
stitch in crochet, wholly unaware Of
the presence of any one until sharp
rap, accompanied by the tramping OF
many feet, was heard on the porch.
Mrs. 5. opened the door, and was greet
I'd with congratulations from relatives
and friends both far ard near. Mr.. $.
came in for his share, and, taking in
the situation, babe them welcome.
Busy hands were soon engaged In un
loading baskets, of which there was an
abundance, and the way they dis.
played sundry edibles, such as roast
chickens, beef, cakes, fruits, butter
roses, etc, was marvellous TO behold,
and would have puzzled Prof. Wyman
himself.
In due time the tables were laden
with their load OF good things, and the
short space Of time in which they dis
appeared impressed us with the idea
that all had brought their appetites
with them. While som. were at din
her others were in tn. parlor arranging
the presents which were many and
very useful. Prominent among them
was a handsome quilt, called the tulip,
pi-ced by Mrs. Mary Stackhouse lady
in her Saith year, who was present and
entered heartily into the enjoyment OF
tn. occasion. The afternoon wore rap.
idly away in the enjoyment of CONVEX
sa,ion aud music, etc. Towards even.
ing preparations were made for return
ing home, as some were from distance
such as Lancaster, Wilmington, and
several extreme points in Chester
county. Her. we woulI state that there
was trouble between two ladies and a

Uuindylike Conduct nrimxs Insult.

UnladyIike Conduct Briuxs Insula
Almost every day we read OF young
ladies being insulted alorg the street,
in the cars, in fact everywhere, and
there i, general Indignation meeting
held. and the base coward craven VINO
you'd dare insult young lady rs oe-
nounced ia the most uAmea-urec terms.
Notwithstanding all this outhurst OF
yirtuous indignation, there l. a DRAW
back " hich brings the thought contin-
ually to our minds, that perhaps alter
all the man brute is but halt to blame.
Many young girls like nothing SO much
as what they call ian adventure, or,
in other words, attracting the attention
of some male specimen Of the Gasrr sort
whose very admiration should he treat
ed as nothing better than the most
hagrant insult. The repression OF this
spirit in ouas girls is Important, for
it is almost disreputible for woman
to bs insult-d. Sober people are in.
clin.d to think that there must have
been some imprudence, perhaps un-
consciously, on the lady's part, which
enco ragged the hold step Oh the part
Of the insuter, II a lady is quiet and
not inclined to make herself conspicu.
Gus in public conveyances or elsewhere
by talking and laughing, we do MT
think she need fear any rude familiar
ity at all approaching an insult. She
might travel in safety from one end Of
tn. continent to the other, as fres from
molsstation or annoyance as in her IA
theirs house. But We hav. noticed
with pain, very often, the boisterous,
unladylike manners young girls, or
young ladies, as they doubtless call
themselves, indulge in when travelling.
If they take occasion to entertain each
other with jests and recitals quite too
near coarsensss in public places 1t is not
strange that persons OF the baser sort
should feel that they were safe in TAX
ing liberties Of speech OF look that they
would not dream OF were their deport
ment tand laiylike. Insults can
be guarded against if not entirely
avoided. Le. mothers warn their
daughters against counting rudeness
by bold, noisy ani unl4 ylike behavior,
both at hone ami abroad, Dut most
particularly when going to school shop
ping, or going to places of public wor-
ship, and they will escape all molesta
ton. When a woman forgets her ma
tive delicacy AMI modesty of deport-
ment she challenges insult.

One of the singular movements OF
the British government which some
times takes the public by surprise, was
an order in Council on Thursday last,
prohibiting the importation Of live
stock. 1t was made Oh the groundless
plea of the unhealthiness of the cattle,
but in reality it was the outcome OF the
clamor in England and Ireland that
the importation Of American beef cattle
was seriously interfering with the home
