Is the Philadelphia Ledger of Saturday
last FORNEY announces that hereafter the
Progress will be an Independent democratic
journal. He says:
The hour of democratic defeat, procured by
open purchase of the suffrage and by deliber-
ate intimidation of the dependent citizen,
should also he the hour of democratic educa-
tion and preparation for tho great work of
organization aud action in tho present and the
future
This is decidedly cheeky. The saddest
election period in Pennsylvania was in
1856, when JOHN w. FORNEY was chair
man of the democratic state central com
mittce and carried that state for JAMES
BUCHANAN by the most unblushing frauds.
WALLACEs coiTee-pot scheme, which oc-
CURED subsequently, was insignificant in
comparison. The democratic education
and preparation" he speaks of are doubtless
the tricks peculiar to the BUCHANAN cam
paign, but FoRNEY will be more closely
watched next time.

AND now that every one else has reioiced
and been congratulated we shake hands
with ourselves We are happy and re-
lieycd. If any class of men in this repub-
lie are and ought to be glad that tho cleo
tion is over it is the journalists. For our
selves we can truthlully say that our brain
has been harried for the past three months
by doubts, losses, gains explanations, ma
jorities, assertions, masses of figures and
distracting calculations. We don't want to
see q column of figures or statement Of
elected congressman for another year Since
Friday we have had mental sweep.out,
and having passed n quiet Saturday and
Sunday we. feel that our brain is the clearer
for the relief and rest Yet the respite is
but brief Congress will soon begin its
final session. The incoming administra-
tion, its policy and appointments will
occupy the minds OF all classes Of our peo-
pie, more or less. The change which re-
publicans everywhere are hoping will come
to the political attitude of the south, aud
the question Of how best to deal with rigid
justice to all classes there-all these are
matters for grave aud patient and patriotic
consideration. Suffice it to say that we look
into the near future with increasing hope
fulness and strengthened trust in the
sobriety, honesty and judgment of the
American people.

VIII TmrnE nn An ExrnA SESSION.

WILL THERE BE AN EXTRA SESSION?
The announcement is made that the
democratic majority in the house and sem
ate will refuse to pass an appropriation to
pay United States supervisors and marshals
this winter. This action will compel an
extra session. The result will he the or
ganization of n republican house on March
A instead of in the December following.
The democratic employees at the capitol are
opposed to the creation of this necessity.
They do not wish to step out in the cold
March winds, and look forward to sum
mer of poor grazing with much discomfort.
Nevertheless, they will probably have TO
30. There will be no pity for them in the
democratic caucus. The astute politicians
who planned for the late extra session will
make another necessary.
The late extra session was q very poor
political investment for the democrats and
the coming one will be equally disastrous
to them. A republican house will pay for
the execution of federal laws, every one of
them, and the reliance of the democrats
upon the next senate will prove futile.
There will be found several members OF
that body who will let the obstructives
know that the late elections have n mean
ing. We believe that MALONE of Virginia
will not be found voting with the bour-
bons nor will FAIR of Nevada. These
would be sufficient, acting with the repub-
licans on the question, TO settle it against
those who never learn anything. Besides
these we thin k there viii be liberal
democrat from Tennessee, if not a republi-
can, in the Senate. If the democratic
managers choose to let false
pride Of consistency control their action
this winter they will play into
the republican hand, and the politi
clans Of that party will probably be con
tent. The people of the country woult
doubtless prefer to see moro sensibl,
course adopted, and have the Nppropria
ton bills proper ly passed, some pending
legislation perfected, an adjournment oil
March A, and long rest from political ex
citemont until December, 1881.

If every citizen of the United States in
the late election had been allowed to vote
according to the dictates of his own con-
science, and his vote had been honestly
counted, General GARFIGLD's popular ma
jority would not have fallen short of half
a million of votes. This fact is worth con-
sidering, and it should lead TO some pro-
vision of law which will secure to every
citizen the right of suffrage, or severely
punish those who shall interfere in any de-
gree to rob him of that right. That is an
important question in the future.

WE accord to the Slmdoy Hrald all the
magnanmity, all the wisdom, all the fore

record may reveal, but its sweetness at this
present moment, when it says We have

subordinate officers in the departments

with capable and efficient subordinates
Instead of ayailing itself of their expert

moro money for the support Of It's public schools

THE day before the election every demo-
cratic paper in the country rested its hopes
Of carrying New York for HANCOCK on the
greatly increased registry in New York
and Brooklyn. They were sure that 21O,-
600 votes could be polled in New York city
and that 10000 Of them would be for
HANCOCK, giving him 10000 majority in
the city. Now they are screaming fraud,
colonization" and repeating" because
the vote has reached 100000; six thousand
less than they predicted and 10000 less
than the registry. What set of babies

DURING the late canvass the democrats
claimed everything good in the history
and prosperity Of the nation, but the peo-
pie would not credit the claim. They
claimed TO have subdued the rebellion and
saved the national life. They claimed the
credit of the greenbacks and the resump-
tion of specie payments. They claimed
all the reforms and economies of govern
ment. They claimed all the wisdom and
all the honesty in the nation. But the
people dlscredited all these claims ut the
ballot-box, and ordered these claimants to
take back seats and wait until they can
file new aud more just claims before they
will receive further consideration at the
popular court of claims.

Neither is he ambitious in the low sense in.
tended by the above slur. His ambition is
perfectly honorable, because his first thought
is to serve his country.
This is not our fight but it seems as il
General HANCocK's acceptance of nomi-
nation at the hands Of the southern briga.
diers indicated something like vanity and
weakness of ambition. Then, again, in the
light Of history, General HANCOCK won the
battle Of Gettysburg no more than lie won
the late fight.

WHEN A MAN HAS ENOUGH.

| The statement comes to us from New
York that William H. Vanderbilt, the
noted railroad king, has lately received
the remaining instalments due on his
$49, 100000 sale of New York Central
Railroad stock, and has converted them
into United States Government per
cent. bonds. 1t is further alleged that
Mr.. Vanderbilt has become wearied with
the engrossing cares of his great railroad,
and other business interests, and proposes
to shortly dispose of these and withdraw
from further railroad management to de-
vote his time henceforth to the care of
his accumulated means and to enjoy life
of greater comparative ease than is posi-
bic with so many vexing interests to look
after. And why should he not? Life ia
none too long at the best, and when
person has enough why waste the
thoughts and energies of life or weary
the muscles and brain with the insane
struggle for more that can not be used
or enjoyed when obtained?
Mr.. Vanderbilt, apart from his re
naming interest in the New York Cen
tral Railroad, which must continue large,
and in numberless other railroad enter
prises, has now $43,OOO,OOO in Govern
ment four per cent. bonds. The income
from these alone amounts to $l,720,000
per year, or $143, 333 per month-a little
less than $4,000 per day. 1t is tolerably
safe to estimate his remaining fortune at
one-half as much more, which would
give him $2,5O0,OOO of annual income or
$1,000 per day, near $500 per hour, and
say $50 per minute, sleeping or waking.
To a person of moderate means and
desires this seems an enormous provision
and quite beyond the possible needs of
any individual to properly expend.
What earthly thing that a man may
reasonably desire and that money can
buy does not this permit him to possess?
What possible advantage can it be to man
when all his wants, real end imaginary,
are supplied to have vast sums to watch
and guard and feel anxious over7 1t is not,
we know. the idiosyncrasy of the Amer
ican people to be content with enough
and to settle down to its enjoy ment in
rational way, foregoing the anxieties
and perplexites Of business; but we
respectfully suggest that it is about time
that men who have arrived at the point
where Mr.. Vanderbilt has in the way of
accumulated fortune should set an ex-
ample of this sort and show the world
that Americans, as well as the people of
other Nations, can do wise thing BY
enjoying their fortunes, when they are
lucky enough to possess one.

that our calculations were rather
under than over the mark, and that
we are in the midst of a movement by
foreigners to our shores without parallel
in the history of the country. 1t is
noticeable feature of the present immi-
grafton that majority of the arrivals
are from Germany and Austro-Hun-
gary, the oppressive military exactions
under the Governments of those coun-
tries affording a greater impetus to emf
grafton than even the famine prevailing
in Ireland or the agricultural distress of
England. 1t will be remembered that
the emigration from Ireland was much
heavier in the years following the former
famine than during its continuance. We
shall therefore look for an increase of
Irish emigration during the ensuing
summer and fall and extending over the
coming two years; but there is not like
ly to be any diminution in the exodus
from Germany, and Austro- Hungary so
long as the oppressive military system
Of those countries continue unchanged.
The peopling of our unoccupied ter
ritory in the South, Southwest, West
and Northwest must therefore spring
into another marvellous era of de-
velopment during the coming few
years, and those States where these vacant
virgin lands are situated should be fully
organized with means for satisfying fully
the wide inquiry for facts concerning
them. The territory contiguous to our
great Southern Railroad and penetrated
by it and its connections should interest
us especially in Cincinnati but still more
so the local officers and citizens of those
States AT any rate the foreign immi-
grafton for the five years next ensuing is
to be great gain in the population, cap
ital and development of the country at
large, however it may be distributed
among the individual States and Terri
tories.

THE Gatling gun, invented by DR.. R.
J. Gatling, an old resident of Indianapo-
lis, has recently been greatly modified
and improved, and is attracting much
interest now in Europe, where weapons
Of war are apparently still held in as
high appreciation as implements of hus-
bandry. One of DR.. Gatling's guns has
been constructed for the British Govern
ment, so arranged as to fire what is there
known as the Boxer cartridge, although
the inventor expresses a preference for
the American cartridge, which is much
more solidly made.

Answer to Many Correspondents

In reply to numerous inquiries from our
readers, concerning the wonderful qualities
OF the Great German Remedy, st. Jacobs
Oil-mentioned in ourlast issue-we would
inform them that the article may be OBJ
tanned from our retail druggists, or by their
aid. Ask for st. Jacobs Oil, and if the
dealer does not keep it in stock, he will be
able to procure it in few days from the
wholesale houses. We understand there is
an immediate demand for the remedy,
which is not so very surprising when it is
considered what it Is daily accomplishing
in the way of relief and cures, bordering, in
some instances on the miraculous.
