A Lesson or two like that given to
Senator Anthony, of the great State
of Rhode Island, during the closing
moments Of the Monday session, Of
the United States Senate will, it is to
be hoped, in due time, give the Repub.
lican Senators a realizing sense Of the
fact that they no longer constitute the
majority of that august body. Sena-

from the Democratic side TO adjourn,

remarking that while the Democrats
were willing to help TO confirm good
nominations they would do 50 when
the motion for an Executive session
was made without breach Of good
manners. Anthony, if none else, will
profit by the rcbuke administered TO
him. Better things were TO be ex-
expected of him, but from henceforth
he will probably consider who rules

other display Of cheap wit at the ex-
pense of those upon whom he must
depend for favors.

IL there is one man in this broad
land, outside of lunatic asylum, who
really believes that the Democratic
members of Congress are pursuing Il
revolutionary" course by insisting
upon the repeal of certain obnoxious
and disgraceful laws in a particular
manner, that man is probably General
Garfield, of Ohio. He says he be-
lieves it, and expects, of course, to be
taken at his word. We have grave
doubts, however, whether this would
be- altogether just to the General.
While his utteranccs as rule may he
entitled to respect and credence, we
still cannot help but think that upon
the present attitude of the Democrats
Mt Washington they should be taken
with many grains of allowance. 1t is
true he shouts revolution but he
does not mean it. lie knows better,
and no doubt fully realizes that his
cry of alarm will not disturb the
nerves of any one, unless it be a timid
old lady or n weak old man. He
knows that it is only an illusory
spectre, with no more substance than
the cleaning Jack with Lantern +"
that darts to and fro over a distant
marsh, that he conjurcs up. But it
will not do. Strangely enough, while
sounding this alarm, General Garfield
is so disingcnous as TO entirely for
get to inform the country that some
of the laws these wicked revolutionary
Democrats have determined to wipe
out were passed by Republican con.
gresses in precisely the same way in
which it is intended they shall be re-
pealed, and that among those who sup
ported them and forced their passage
by congress in that manner was this
same able and conspicuous Republican
leader, General James a. Garfield, who
now sees danger and revolution in
their repeal by the same methods that
were adopted for their enactment
Oh, no, General Garfield the prece-
dents for similar Legislation are too
numerous, and when you helped to
make them you used no magic art to
call forth an opposition of danger
Your sense of propricty was not even
startled, and it is too late to raise a
false alarm now.

The Turning Tide.

The most gratifying evidences of the
continued increase of business and re-
turning prosperity reach us from every
part of the State. The Car Company,
ut Harrisburg, start out with contracts
that warrant the employment of five
hundred hands. The same activity in
that branch Of business is apparent in
Reading, York, Wilkesbarre and
many other places, while the iron
business at Pittsburg, Reading, Allen
town, Scranton, Phocnixyilc and else.
where appear to be ablaze with excite
ment and activity. Indeed all branches
Of business and trade are springing into
life every where, giving employment
to thousands who have heretofore been
idle, or working on short time to avoid
starvation.
These evidences Of returning pros
perity, and many others we could give,
do not come to us too soon. The peo-
pie, pressed to desperation by taxes
and debt, need the CLEAN of hope they
present, to enable them to recover
from the most terrible prostration they
have ever experienced.

GES. FTTz JOHN PoRTER.-The
board of officers appointed to revive
the cruel and unjust sentence passed
upon this gallant and accomplish
ed officer many years ago by biased
court marshal, have reported his COM
pIete vindication to the President.
Gen. Porter never lost the public con-
fidence in his integrity or patriotism,

suit, if the case was ever submitted to
review by just and impartial officers.
He and bis friends labored persistent
ly for years to obtain this simple act
Of justice from the tyrant who presid-

soon after his induction into office, he

The travelling caravan of $4,000
men which the Stalwarts are getting
up to meet Grant, at San Francisco,
for the purpose of proclaiming him
the Republican candidate for Prcsi-
dent in 1880, won't pay. 1t is stupid
ly conceived, and will die of its own
weight. The 10000 pilgrims of every
shade of political views can readily be
found to take free or cheap ride to
the golden state, but it will take n
great deal more than that to place the
old tyrant again in the Presidential
chair, against the free American states

ernments, supported by free people
who cannot be again coerced by bayo-
nets, or overawed by the tyranny of

The New York Herald does not
gush with admiration over the late
speech of Mr.. Garfield on the army
appropriation bill. According to that
journal, at was merely n piece of Wig
orous defamation. Whatever truth
it contained was exaggerated even be-
yond the usual license Of declamatory
rhetoric; while some of it, most impor-
tant statements are not true in fact
and are contradicted by history. Even
if all Mr.. Garfcld's statements be true
and given without exaggcration the
speech would have become almost any
other mouth better than his, inasmuch
as his own previous declarations and
votes on this very subject come within
the scope of his denunciations. If
facts, logic, candor and personal con-
sistency are of any value in parIiamen-
tary eloquence, Mr.. Garfeld's speech
lacks them all. 1t is a mere passion
ate haranguc. better suited to the
