the gain in Bucks, seven per cent, show
the steady progress of those suburban

the fevcrish trot of Mexican. Lumber

CONDENsE YOUR COMMITTEES.

We do hope In the interests of business and
economy, that the Legislature will overhaul
| the existing rules as regards formation OF
committees. There are already too many
committees. with the logical result OF accom-
pishing too little In the way Of work In the
| Senate, for example, there are twenty-six
committees This, 81 necessity. requires each
| Senator to serve on four or five or more OF
them. ,0ne consequence is that men. with
| their time go divided up and their duties so
widely distributed, are unable TO do justice
either to themselves or to the public business;
| and another consequence Is that the State la
burdsned with large unnecessary expenses In
! the shape of clerks, assistant clerks porters,
etc. The fact ls that the present system
grew up under the Radical regime. and was
| expressly intended to create an abundance OF
complimentary chairmanships and to pro-
vide for a regiment of needy hangers-on In the
shape of clerkshlps. We think the Demo-
cratic party would com mend itself very
strongly to public recognition by instituting
q sweeping reform 10 this matter.
Looking over the Senate committee list as
Mt present constituted. we find numerous In
stances in which the committees could be
pEOIthDIy touSOHuHbSu. IoI lbbb'sbC5 SihiuiS,
Banks and Banking, Auditing and Superyis-
| Ing Expenses Of Senate Retrenchment and
| Reform, and Pensions, could all be brought
/, together under the common head OF Finance.
| In another case, Public Lands and Levees,
Railroads and Internal improvements,
| Drainage, Canals and Internal Improve
ments, might very appropriately be oassed
with Agriculture. Commerce aud Manufao-
lures, and given TO single committee. The
Committee on Corporations and Parochtal
Affairs could extend their duties SO as to In
clude Parks and Public Buildings, Libraries
and metropolitan Police. And SO on. We
make these suggestions merely to show how
feasible 1t will be- to dispense with at least
one half OF tho cumbrous and expensive para
phernalia Of legislation. That men can &C
complish more by having their duties con-
solidated than by having them distributed Is
too obvious for any argument. 1t Is unques-
tonably easier TO do given amount OF work
on q single committee than to do the same
amount OF work scattered about In half
dozen committees. Further than this, the
State would effect n sensible economy OF ex-
pense and time, besides having 1t sservice more
efficiently and inteIligently performed.
We trust that this matter will receive the
attention of our legislators, and that 30 favor
able an opportunity will not be suffered to
pasS unnoticed.

THE IRISH PROBLEM.

Mr.. ParnelI draws gloomy and dreadful
picture OF the condition of affairs In Ireland
He tells us of the thousands of starving poor,
OF the terrible suffering which they are now
enduring, and which will Increase as the win
ter advances, and then declares that they do
not need the money or the food which our
people propose to send over to relieve the dis
tress half 50 much as they need our mora
support In the great struggle which Is now
going on TO do away with the odlous land
system by which he claims the tenantry are
being ground to dust.
La spite OF his declaration that the charity
OF the American people will not avail to pre-
vent the distress In Ireland, we believe that 1t
will be much more effeotual than the soms-
what vague plan which he proposes, which,
SO far as we can comprehend 1t, Is that we as
a nation shall endeavor to compel England,
either by moral suaslon or by force of arms
to give or sell the land In Ireland held by
Eaglshmen % the Irish people. This project
OF Mr. P4rnels strikes us jas being eminent
ly impracticable and even II adopted by the
United States would work incalculable injury
upon the very people he most desires to help.
Certainly 1t would do no possible good to
the thousands who, we are told, are even
now suffering the plngs OF hunger, aud who
would not, we take 1t. relish the idea OF their
being denied food and Clothing In order that
Mr. Parnel might more successfully work up
asentiment favorable to his views on the land
system. Sentiment is Il very fiae thing doubt
less but starving men and women are not the
persons to appreciate 1t, and we trust that
the money subscribed on this side OF the water
will go, first, toward relieving the pressing
necessities OF tae Irish people, and next, to-
wards bringing them away from their over
crowded and most unhappy country.
It Ia most remarkable that the great
agitator does not himself see that much OF
the misery of his people would be relieved by
emigration to the United States. In his
speech at Newark. N :. on the sixth instant,
he said:
1t gives mo the greatest pleasure to come to
this country aud see so many of my country
men prosperous. it strikes NY eye strangely
to see such evidences Of prosperity in this
country. and it only quiekens my desire aud
iii m esolv- not to cease fighting until We have
abolished the last relies OF the Irish laud sys.
tenn, which has done so much 10 destroy and
enalave our country.
He is himself witness OF the thrift OF his
countrymen here, and yet he declares in the
very face of the dreful condition OF the Irish
tenantry that they ought not to emigrate,
but remain to keep up the struggle against
the government of Great Britain.
In the same speech at Newark he declared
that he desired to s'raise two funds, one fol
the relief Of the destitute and the other for
the political organization which is work.

Wish him the amplest success in his en-.

DEATH OF MRS. BADGER.

The sudden death OF Mrs. Lizzie Badger,
wife OF Gen. A. s. Badger, Collector OF this
pert, was announced yesterday and excited
the most sincere and heartfelt grief through
out tho entire com munity. Mrs. Badger was
the only daughter Of +. +, Parmele. one OF our
oldest and most esteemed citizens and mer-
chants, and was universally beloved by all
those who knew her for her many gentle and
beautiful traits OF character. Endowed with
a delicate and refined nature and with beauty
Of q rare and exquisite order, she was among
women what the lily Is among flowers, and
her memory Will finger with nit those who
loved her like delicate perfume, reminding
them OF their pure and gentle friend. whose
life was spotless and whose spirit has unques-
tionably scared to realms Bupernal. Mrs.
Badger was only "a years old when the dread
summons came to her, and her death will fall
with crushing force upon the bereaved hus-
band and four little boys, whose home Is now
desolate. Words OF coincidence and sympathy
on the occasion OF such grief as theirs would
seem like mockery.

THE GHOST OF 1876.

Just as all the Radical leaders are making
the air blue with their screams OF fraud and
denunciation OF what they, by foreible but
inelegant figure of speech denomlnate tho
maine STEAL" there appropriately pops up
In Washington, like substantial gh ,st, the
stolid ex- President OF the Radical Returning
Board Of Louisiana, who personally superin-
tended the gigantic steal which elevated Mr..
Hayes into the office to which the ballots OF the
people had elected Samuel j. Tilden. He OBJ
trudes himself upon the President, and with
many knowing wink and leer suggests
that 1t would conduce greatly to the
health of what remains Of the administration
for the President to reappoint him to the po-
sitIon OF Surveyor OF the Port OF New Or
leans; not that he needs or cares for the
place-oh, no. not by any manner OF means;
perish the very suggestion OF such groyeling
desires In j. Madison-but just to show q
sneerlng and suspicious world that he had
not been turned out as 1t were to grass; had
not been treated with neglect and GOODNESS by
the men who owe their high and honorable
and lucrative positions to his extraordinary
talent for mathematics and jugglery-a tai
ent that enabled him and his notorious CO.
laborers to convert majority OF over s 90
votes for Tilden into ma iority for his OPP
pouent.
He drops In Familiarity upon Sherman and,
after "hail fellow, we'll met" greeting, sits
cheek y.iowI with the great aspirant for
presidential honors, cracking jokes about
Eliza Plnkston, Agnes jerks and Jlm Ander-
son. and then, with grim, sardonic smile,
suggests the necessity for his being renomi-
mated for the Surveyorship. A picture OF
Sherman and J. Madison Wells discussing
the enormity Of the maine Steal" and the
surprising wlckedness Of Gov. Garcelon In
throwing out imperfect election returns,
would be rather neat thing, and we throw
out the suggestion to the New York Graphic
and Puck without charge, though they can
make a fortune out OF 1t. They are welcome
to the money; we will take our compensation
In witnessing the broad grin that will over
spread the features OF all those who see and
appreciate the biting satire. It were sight
to crack the sides Of laughter and move the
criminals themselves to shame.
BY all means let Wells be reappointed to the
Surveyorship. 1t will be most fit and APP
propriate finale of the shameful acts In Lou
isiana. Put the old man back into the Gus
TOM House, where all his aceomplices and
pals In the great fraud are snugly ensconced.

The value of the Vlcksburg, Shreveport and
Pacific Railroad as feeder to New Orleans
lis shown In some suggestive figures recently
furnished by the superintendent and general
manager. Major Green. From September to
December 81, 1879, inclusive, there was trans
ported over the road 42.S24 bales OF cotton.
OF this amount 4i.7l5 were shipped to New
Orleans, and the remaining 1927 bales to
Vicksburg. As the cotton sent to Vicksburg
finally found its way, In all probability, to
this city, 1t Is not asserting too much to claim
that the entire cotton business of the road is
now tributary TO New Orleans, and as 1t Is
extended to Texas the volume of this business
will vastly increase. The road Is destined to
be one OF the cttys most important feeders,
and that 1t has fallen into the hands or gen
tlemen who will press It TO speedy compile
ton is q matter Of lively satisfaction on ell
hands.
