Our TIMBER.-What shall we dc
for timber twenty-five years hence
The subject Of timber culture needs tC
be kept constantly before the eyes oI
the public. The annual consumption
of railroad ties alone is 100000 II
requires thirty years growth to pro
duce the average railroad tie. There
are over 10000 miles ofrailroad in thi:
country, making over lSO, 900 miles Of
fencing, which cost over s5O,OOO,OOC
annually, and sl5,0OO,OOO for repairs
We have 10000 miles of telegraph
wire which requires 30, 900 more Brick
burning consumes 100000 cords o
year, and if we addiarm fencing, match
making, shoe pegs, furniture, packing
boxes, wagons, carriages, agricultural
implements, and fre.wood, the amount
would not fall short of s2O0,00O,OOC
annually. Such wholesale destruction
will inevitably exhaust, in time, our
immense forests, and il should be ro.
membered that in this event an unre
stricted growth of fifty years will moi
restore them 10 their former condition.

GALAGHER'S REWARD.

Captain Gallagher, Of Pittsburgh, is
now in the employ of the State Gov
ernment at Harrisburg His position,
we are informed, is that of watchman
in the rotunda of the Capitol. Captain
Gallagher is an ex.Statc Chief of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians. lie oc.
cupied that post at the time the order
was manipulated to effect the defeat
Of Pershing for Governor and the elec-
ton Of Hartranit. The plum he is
now enjoying is probably reward fol
services rendered upon that occasion.
Mr.. Buffers accession to the State
Treasurership gives a majority control
in the Board of Public Buildings and
Grounds to the Republicans. The
Board is composed Of the Governor,
Auditor General, and State Treasurer.
While Mr.. Noyes was Treasurer, he
and Mr.. Schell, both Democrats, out
voted the Governor, and they had in
the rotunda one,legged soldier Mr..

performed and not advance pay Tor
work yet to be done, from the fact
that we are informed by members OF
the Ancient Order that, principally
because OF bis inclination to sell the
order to Republican politicians when
ever he got the chance, he has been
dcposed and left wholly destitute of
influence over his felow.members.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION. No.
vembcr last a man named Patrick
Ward was killed on the Reading Rail
road, in Berks county, and, without
an inquest being held, the body was
removed to tho home of the deceased,
at Palo Alto, Schuylkill county. Here
an inquest was held by the Coroner Of
Schuylkill county, who afterwards
brought suit to recover his fees. Judge
Pershing decides against the claim,
and says that the Coroner of the
county in which the man was killed
should have held the inquest; that the
Coroner of Berks could have empanel.
ed his jury in his own county, taken
them to Schuylkill county to view the
body, and then returned to Berks
county to hear testimony and make
up a verdict. This decision looks right
and proper and settles an important
question of jurisdiction which some
times arises in regard to cases of the
kind occurring near the boundaries Of
different counties.

A RADICAL YIoE.-The Springfield

"The Democratic party cut down the
expenses s4O,OOO,OOO a year at the
critical period when surplus revenue
was necessary to the accumulation Of
fund with which TO resume specie
payments, and after the Republican
party had utterly failed TO respond to
the demand for retrenchment. Now,
with increasing revenues and no press.

there were no Republicans in favor Of

vention scenes "The lady who was
50 conspicuous in the remarkable scene
of last night is said to be Mrs. Charles
f. Deems, the widow of a soldier
OF New York, and the flag which
she displayed is said to have been
Lincoln's. Again tonight she was
present on the platform, swinging
her flag in one hand and fan in the
other, cheering like mad for Blaine
until the by.standers pulled her down
to her scat, and tore the flag into tat
ters in their efforts to take it from her
while she folded it about her person
and struggled Tor its possession. Tho
confusion continued for full ten min
utes."

SHERMAN SOLD 0UT.-T. NJ. Nichol
Chairman of the Hard Money League
of the Northwest, sent a colored boy
the other day for a demijohn of whis
ky, to be brought to the Sherman head
quarters at the Grand Pacific Hotel
The boy took it into Mrs. Senator Lo
gans room by mistake, and the ener
getic but temperate lady told him he
had made a mistake, and suggested
that the next room might be the right
one. The next room sent him to an
other, this to another, this to another
etc, each party relieving the demijohr
slightly, and when he reached the
Sherman headquarters there was nc

dence man, together with those OF a
more brutal nature, short term of
imprisonment in comfortable quarters,
with wholesome food, is not adequate
to obtain the end required, as is proven
by the oit.repeated commitments Of
the same criminal. Punishment should
be severe, short and decisive. Then
our prison capacity would, we feel as.
sured, be sufficient to meet the re-
quirements. We would therefore sug.
gest the enactment Of law by the
State Legislature which would allow a
mode Of punishment, subject to the
will Of the Judges, to criminals for a
second and subsequent offence, similar
to that now in vogue in the State Of
Delaware, as the best mode of over.
coming thepresent evil ofover.crowded
prisons" This, in effect, is a recon.
mendation for the establishment Of the
Delaware whipping.postsystom. There
is no question but that the Delaware
mode saves the taxpayers annually
thousands Of dollars, and the morals Of
the convict are about as good as that of
the individual who loafs in a prison
for six months for some petty crime
against society.

IL fell TO the lot of Senator Conk.
ling, of Now York, to put Grant in
nomination at the Chicago ConveG'
ton. The job was well done, but sub
sequent events spoiled the sentiments
very much. The defeat Of Grant is
the bitterest pill the Senator ever
swallowed, To show the boldness Of
his manner, we give bis speech on the
occasion,
New York was called. Then arose
mighty cheer. Conkling also rose
and, in addition TO the Grant enthusi
asm evoked, the personal compliment
to the man himself was intense and
immense. Mr. Conkling jumped TO the
platform and then to reporters table
where for q few minutes he was kept
like a statue of Apollo and the uproal
went on.
"Whon,' said he, eve are asked
from what State he halls, our sole
answer shall be, lie halls from Apo
mattox.'
Then he went on with great delibcr
alton, showing that they needed not 0
candidate who could carry Michigan
because all Republican candidates car
do that nor one that would please
the Territories, because the Territories
have no vote but the one that can
carry doubtful States, South as well as
North, especially New York.

lime gesture and a magnifcently pic.
turesque pose, "isfor Ulysses S. Grant. "
