out of her house for failing to pay her
rent. A more forlorn looking woman
never lived. She has been out begging,
and limping along she carried a basket.
She is quite old now, and her hair is as
white as the record Of St. John. You can
tell in a moment that she has been beauti-
full, for her mouth, pearly teeth, her eyes,
and magnificent brow, all declare that
they were once organized into conven-
ton of beauty with rich suit of hair as

THE Senate has confirmed James n.
Kerns, re-appointed marshal of the east
ern district of Pennsylvania; and the
question is how the consent of the Dem
Ocratic senators was secured to the re-
tention i'm office of a man who has been
proved to have used all the power of his
place against the Democrats of Philadel-
phia, and to have appointed as his depu-
ties at elections men of the lowest char
aster, who scrupled at no fraud. The
Democratic senators assented, we may
assume, because Senator Wallace asked
them to do SO. And why did Senator
Wallace, who discovered the iniquity of
Kerns and denounced it so freely, ask
his confirmation
We want to know. The Democracy of
Pennsylvania want to know. The fact
gives color to the suspicion that Senator'S
Wallace and Cameron have formed a CO.
partnership for the division of the spoils
But a compact which keeps such men as
Ker,s in Office is one which the Pennsyl-
vania Democracy will not approve. We
do not believe they will sanction any ar
rangeInent between the Democratic and
Republican senator's Of the state made
for the purpose Of grinding their individ-
ual axes. And 50 we ask for infOrma-
tion about this Kerns confirmation :;
how it was secured anu what was the
guid pro qnD, It looks bad.

And whether you write on rural affairs

WHAT does the INTELLIGENCER think of
this ? In Juniata county the Democrats
thought they should have a voice in the
choice of delegates to the Democratic state
convention, but the county committee
voted % to that they were cOmetent to
manage the affairs of the county them
selves and so they chose John d. Milliken
as representative delegate, and indorsed
William Mcconnell as senatorial delegate.
-Erdminer.
If the facts are as the Examiner states
them and the rules and precedents of the
Juniata county Democracy do not author
ize the committee to select the delegates
We think it was high-handed outrage on
the rights of the people, for which the state
convention should give them redress.
THE Duke of Argyll was pleased to
hear our robins in the midst of the gardens
and villas of towns and cities, and in every
little clearing of forest ON the outskirts OF
human habitation. But he felt, in jour.
neying through America, one great want
which nothing can replace. The meadows
of North America were to his eye thor
oughly English in appearance, the same
rich luxuriant grass-the same character
of wild Howers-and even the same
weeds. The skies of America are higher
and wider and more full of sunshine. But
there is no skylark to enjoy that glorious
privacy of flight" "The sweetest singer

size and quality equals anything We have

THE collection Of the county tax in
Lancaster county involves an undue
amount of labor and expense which
could be largely saved by adopting the
plan in vogue in many sections of the
state, of the county treasurer making a
circuit of the county, and on an appointed
day sitting "at the receipt of customs :"

The democratic party was the enemy of the
Union, and as such preCiptaled civil war up

Mr. Marshall knows that before the war III,
democrats were everywhere derived by abol
tionists, rs "union.savers;' and an abolition
convention in Buffalo declared in favor of "let
ting the south go'--thc union was not worth
saving with slavery. The aboltionsts always
telt this way; and the republicans take pride
in claiming their acts and words. And it is
also well known to all who can remember the
day, that when the north awoke from then
trance at the bombardmcnt OF Fort Sumpter
"thc mass of the Democracy were even more
furious than the republicans. The southern
states were no longer 'erring sisters to be
gently concillated. The whole north camored
for arms, for leaders for legal authorization to
