The caucus votes 10 selecting Presi-
dent Of the Senate and Speaker Of the
House Of Delegates is claimed by the
friends Of Hon. A. p, German, and con-
coded BY many Of the friends Of other as
pirauts, as test Of the strength of Mr..
German for United States Senator. Mr..
Mccullough, for Speaker Of the House,
and AIr. Stump, for President Of the Sen
ate, were the candidates for the respective
positions Of the friends Of Mr.. German.
Mr. Mccullough received the votes Of
more than four-fflhs Of the House caucus

will consist Of eighty-two members, requlr-
ing forty-two to elect At the recent
caucuses seventy.seven of the eighty-two
were present, and the vote, on the organi-
zation Of the Legislature, taken as whole,
showed sixty-two for German, fourteen for
the opposition, enc blank and 6ve were
absent. Counting the blank vote aud the
ave absent members as opposed to Mr.,
German, he would still have twenty more
than enough to elect, 1t may be safely
presumed, then, that Mr.. German will sue

The election win take place on the We'd

SLOW to Praise, Quick to oOnasmn.

In his inaugural address on the lst in
slant, Gov. Cornell, Of New York, gave
utterance to one true sentiment. Hesaid
people were quick to find fault with the
acts Of public men, and careless of expires
sing appreciation Of faithful service. How
true this is, ouly those who have held pub
lie positions can properly appreciate.
Good acts are passed by with scarcely a
thought, but one mistake is sufficient ex-
cuse for strong condemnation and imputa.
tons ofimproper motives. No encourage
ment is accorded to efficient service; no
words Of praise snunded for honest and
conscientious performance of duty; no con-
cessious of purity Of purpose when errors
are made. The good acts Of public men
should receive favorable recognition and
appreciation; the bad condemned, the crit
icisms characterized by mildness and fair.
ness.
Men are human, whether holding high
positions or in private station, and as such
are liable to err. They were not created
perfect, and their acts cannot be expected
to be free from imperfcctions. @He cen
sures God who quarrels with the imper-
fections Of man, is the apt quotation used
by Senator Whyte Tuesday night, at a
meeting in Baltimore Of citizens favorable
to his reelection to the United States
Senate. That quotation did not purpose
shielding public men from criticism, but
il meant that criticism should be just,
with the fact in view that maa was not
created perfect being.

The Maine Troubles.

At the solicitation Of the people Of Maine,
Gov. Garcelon Submitted twelve questions TO
the Snpreme Court Of that State, bearing
upon the legal questions arising over the re.
count Of he returns Of the September cleo
ton made by himself and Council. Thecourt
decided these questions diiierenlly from the
opinions Of the Governor and Council, and in
the decisions Of some Of the questions the
court resembled the SKI commission which
counted in Hayes. The court decisions were
partisan in character, and the Governor and
Fusionsts disregarded them. The Legisla,
ture met on Wednesday, those given eertii-
Gates by the Governor, upon the returns as
made up by himself and Council, wers pres
ent. In the Senate Republicans as well as
Fusionists answered roll call, and the organi-
zation was effected with Fusionists officers
without difficulty. In the House much noise
and confusion was consequent upon its organ
ization, the crowd around cheering and bis
sing as either party was pleased or displeased,
The Repheans, except Eugene Hale, refused
TO answer roll call. The Kusionists proceeded
with the organization Of the Hoase, Mr., Hale
entering protests at every step. After motif.
cation to the Governor that quorum was
present the Governor appeared aud proceeded
TO qualify the members. He subsequently
announced that 10 members, being quorum,
had taken and subscribed the necessary oaths,
and were the regularly and duly constituted
House Of Representatives. This announce
ment received wild applause from the out
side. Gov. 6areelon said that he now put
into their hands the opinion of the Supreme
Court, as well as the petition Of gentlemen
| from certain cities claiming seats, and invoked
their careful consideration Of the same.
Gov. Garcelon's term Of Office expired on
Wednesday night, and James ID. hanson,
president Of the Senate, is filling the position
until the Legislature elects his successor, At
the last election there was no choice by the
people for Governor.
On Wednesday quite sensation was pro-
dueed throughout the State and country, when
aliidayits were published from several Fusion
members Of the legislature, who held oertif-
Gates, declating they had been bribed in the
sum OF $1,000 each, by Republicans, to re-
sign their positions and not attend the SEES
sion Of the Legislature. They accepted the
money, signed the papers declaring their in
tention to resiga, in order to expose the tao.
ties Of the Republicans to gain control Of the
State.
Matters are all quiet in Maine, and on
Thursday the Republicans who refused to act
in the House of Delegates presented them
selves to qualify. A resolution was adopted
to investigate the charge of bribing Fusion
members by Republicans.

MIA 70 select delegates to the national con-

SOMETHING ABOUT THE WEATHER. The
weather is always convenient topic because
it is ever present, and has any amount Of
prophets During the winter Of 1877 one Of
the latter class remarked to the writer that
that particular winter would not be a severe
one, basing his prophecy on the direction the
wind settled on the 21d Of December, the
shortest day Of the year. He had observed
il for 25 years, and he had never missed TO
gauge the weather accurately for the next
three months. On the 2lst of December,
1877, the Wind settled 10 the southwest, and
the winter, as all know, was a very mild one.
On December q, 1873, it settled TO the north,
and all will admit that last winter was re-
markAbly severe. On the 21st Of December,
1879, the wind settled to the east, and since
that period we have had an excess Of rain,
and Il the prophets theory hold good, that
will be the character of the weather for the
next two months-at least more rain than
snow.-4ltoona, Pa, Tribune

The Mark Lane Express of January 5, con.
tanning annual crop returns from AL CORE.
spondents, representing every county in Eng.
land, fully confirm the worst accounts regard
ing the serious failure of the crops. II says
"rhe returns are the most discouraging we
have ever published. OF 429 districts from
which the returns were collected. not one has
produced a wheat or pea crop of over the av-
erage. Only two represent a barley crop,
aad only six bean crop, as over the average.
Oats is the only crop that is not thoroughly
bad. An examination Of ten years tables
will show that we have had worse oat crops
and as bad bean crop, bot for wheat, barley
and peas there has been no year Of the ten
and We might go further baek-nearly so IN
fruitful. Even with respect to oats and
beans, II weight and quality be taken into nc.
count, no year Of the ten gives such bad re-
suits As to wheat, the disastrous failure OF
the crop is most strikingly shown by the fict
that only four out Of 429 returns are repre-
sented as up TO the average. The remarks OF
our correspondents us to the condition of the
grain and pulse are as dishsRrlening as the
accounts Of the yield.

Perhaps the largest payment made In gold
coin since the revival took place in Chicago
ON January 8. Then one Of the banks Of that
city paid out 10 settlement Of It's clearing
house balances Si,G50,O00. OF this sum 81.
500, 900 was In gold coin. This coin was re-
ceived from Now York in twenty kegs, each
keg weighing three hundred pounds aud con.
tanning $4,000. The transportation through
the streets was attended by five men to han.
die and guard the treasure. By an arrange.
ment between the banks and the clearing
house officers the gold was delivered directly
at the several creditor banks. BY this ar.
rangement the transportation and handling
we're simplifed. This coin was sent thi,her
by Jim Keene in payment for wheat, and with
other remittances Of like character will largely
enter into general circulation in Chicago.
The balances at the clearing house on Mon.
day were 81, SAG, 600, being about 81, 900, 900
greater than the clearances on Friday, which
we're greater than on any preceding day IN
the history Of the city.
