AN AGREEABLE COMPANION

commonplace remarks, to which bis
companion smiled and nodded assent,
branched out into description of the
scenes he had witnessed in different
parts of the country, grew eloquent
over the war, described with glowing
speech the horse races he had witness.

told thrilling stories Of his battles with
Indians in the northwest The hours
slipped rapidly away, and when the
train was nearing Lexington the two

cordial shake Of the hands. The Gov.

OF friends he remarked that the ride

OUR STATE RETURNING
ROARn.

The bill providing board to receive,
open and publish the returns of tho
election OF State Treasurer and Audi.
tor General, and removing the necessi-
ty for q session Of the Legislature next
winter, passed the Senate on Friday
by vote Of 80 to 0. Itprovides that
on the last Tuesday of each regular
session OF the Legislature there shall
be elected, each House voting separate
ly, rira roce, four Senators and six
Representatives, lin the Senate no mem
ber voting for more than two and in
the House for no more than three),
who, with the Governor, the President
Judge Of the Dauphin Judicial district,
the President pro lem. Of the Senate
and the Speaker Of the House, shall
be Board Of Returns for the follow
ing election in the absence of the
Legislature. The bill now goes TO the
House for concurrence. Notwitstand.
ing the Constitution expressly says
the Legislature shall meet but once in
two years, and every member Of the
Legislature is required to take an oath
to support the Constitution, there
seems to be disposition on the part
OF many members of the House, to
compel a session next year. The House
has heen shaping its appropriations in
that direction. The bill passed by the
Senate removes all necessity for II
session next winter. If the members
of the House regard their oaths and
and desire to obey the Constitution,
they will pass the bill as il comes 70
them IRON the Senate. If they do not
the people should and will mark them
for all time to come as men who be-
trnycd their trusts and are not worthy
of confidence again. An adjourned
session will cost the Commonwealth
one million of dollars, and tax payers
will not sit quietly by while their Rep
resentatives waste public money after
this fashion. Every citizen OF the
Commonwealth should carefully watch
the votes of their members of the
House on this bill, and on all questions
OF adjournment. The present session
should not last over one hundred days,
but it seems to be generally understood
that it is to be prolonged to one hun
dred and fifty, the limit of the law.
All work can be done in one hundred
days, if the members of both branches
will but get down to the work they
were sent there to perform.

SHERMANS RATITUDE.

The hardest blow that Mr.. Conkling
struck during bis contest with the Ad.
minislration, and the one that told
with most effect, was the publication.
for it amounted 10 that-of that por.
tion Of John Sherman's letter TO Col.
lector Arthur asking an appointment
for young Bradley for manifest
reasons" The hypocrisy and deceit
of the fraudulent Administration have
been made manifest on many occasions,
but nothing ever exposed the shallow
pretense Of Civil Service Reform in
a glaring manner. After taking two
or three days to consider the matter,
no doubt with the view of escaping
from the corner into which Conkling
had put him, If any hole through which
he could creep could be found, John
Sherman assumed q bold face and has
given the entire letter to the press. 1t
is fair to presume, however, that he
would not have taken this course, had
1t already been announced that Gen.
Arthur intended to publish all the let
ters Conkling read. The letter is as
follows:
