A writer in Forest and Stream gives the
following description of the rare sport
that can be had with rod and gun at Reel
foot Lake:
"The winter here has not damaged the
quail crop. Wild turkeys are abundant

ConkIIns and p,a,, Resign.

The resignation of Senators Conk'
ling and Plat, from New York, on
Monday last, was unexpected. Mr..
Conkliug claimed the right to control
certain appointments in New York
which was not acceded to By the Pres
ident, was the sole cause of bis resig-
nation, as also that of his faithful adj
herent Plat. It is regarded by cor
respondents at Washington as a child>
ish freak, and one which will work no
harm to any one save the ex.Senators.
We give below what Gov. Foster, of
Ohio, thinks of the matter, which
about embraces the general opinion:
Gov. Foster. Of Ohio, says: "Sena
tor Platt told me, Saturday, IN Washs
ington, that be Intended to resign and
that his intention was formed last
Thursday, and that be had stated the
fact both to the President and Senator
Coukling. Conkling's action was not
entirely surprise to the President
and his advisers. When Platt com
muuicated his intention to Conkling
and as 20 of the 81 Republican Sen
ators had signifed their intention of
voting to confirm Robertson, he( Cenk-
lng) saw the psc-a xas up, and conf,
Aentially deeisfe3 .Li---i-------'a-a

Had the eumors that the relations
betweea the two Senators from New
Yort we're uufriendly any fouuda
top"
1T appears" answered Gov. Foster,
that Gov. Cornell and Senator Plat
had decided TO support Robertson, be-
cause they thought such a course
would harmonic the discordant ele.
medts 10 the State of New York
" hen Conkling, however, learned oil
the nomination and heir determine
tion he was so indignant that they
were compelled to withhold thei con
sent"
is there any possibility of the re
signation of either Arthur or james,
"In my opinion, no. Conkliue
alone is responsible for this action
and will stand or fall by its result"
"Will it be fall, do you think p
continued the reporter.
"On that question | am not prepsr
ed to express an opinion; but Of thi:
you Gao be certain. that Robertson ,.
name will not be Withdrawn unless al
his own request As far as It's effect
on the President is concerned. thi.
stroke of Conkling will fall very fat.

Tue two treaties negotiated with the
Chinese Government last November
were both ratified by the Senate last
week. One of the treaties deals with
Chinese immigration to this country,
aud the other with the commercial re
latious between China and the United
States. The immigration treaty that
has now been established gives our
Government the power to regulate, lin
it, or suspend the incoming of Chinese
laporers, but not to prohibit it alto
gether. The Government may apply
this power whenever the good order
or the interests of the country are en-
dargered, or are likely to be endanger,
ed, By that immigration. The power
is to be applied only in the Gaze Of la
borers, not in that of merchants or
other classes of Chinese subjects.

The Census and the south.

The Missouri Republican is greatly
gratifed at the exhibit Of progress in
the South in population, wealth, enter

census. II goes over the whole SUBJ
ject in detail aud with tables. The
figures indicate great strides in manu>
featuring and mechanical industries 10
the South. During the past ten years
the increase 10 the iron aud steel in
dustries of the United States has been
very marked, and West Virginia, AL
ALBANIA, Georgia. Tennessee, Kentuck !,
Delaware aud Virginia have made as
tonishiBg advances 10 the feldt he
growth, too, in cotton manufacturing
has been very significant, and the
Eastern papers are giving this matter
special observation. Southern cotton
manufactures are making money, and
new mills are being built iu many parts
of the South. One feature of this in-
dustry is thus noticed By New York
Tribune correspondent:
1.-The wages paid, and the hours Of la.
borers In Southern cotton mills (they say
factories here, MOSTLY are about the
same as in New England, but in their
home-life. aud all its most import ant con-
ditions, Southern operatives are more
fortunate than the same class of Iaborers
in the Northern States. They have bet
ter and much larger houses. There is, as
yet, very little, if any. unwh ,lsome or in
furious crowding in the teneEents oc.
cupied by the operatives of Southern
mills. Sanitary arrangements appear 10
be recognized by mill owners in the
south as something to be carefully looked
after"

Last mouth nearly 10000 immi,

walls at Boston, Baltimore and other
ports swell the human tide to greater
magnitude than the country has ever
known before. II seems as if all Eu
rope we're coming to America; at least
all those who have to earn .heir bread
by the sweat of their brows. Steam
ship companies are obliged TO charter
vessels TO aceo uDo6ass- these pas>eu-
gers, and the rush promises to increase
rather than diminish. 1t is impossi
BILE to calculate the wealth thus poured
into our lap; not so IN uch in the money
which the immigrants bring, though
that Is considerable, as in the prospec-

MR. STANLEY MATHEWS, who was
last week confirmed as a member Of
the Supreme Bench of the United
Safes, earned on the bench of his own
State high areputation as judicial off,
Ger. In fact his admirers in Ohio de
slare with one accord that he was
better judge than politician, and this
verdict would seem to be confirmed by
the persistent aud curiousIy nature OF
the opposition which has been made to
bis appointment since he was first
nominated as Justice of the Supreme
Court by President Hayes. At all
events Mr. Matthews can confirm it
himself, if he will, in the new career
opened to him by the conspicuous and
responsible position to which he has
now been called.

THERE is talk about dividing Texas
into four or FIVE States. II arises out
of provision agreed upon at the time
Texas was admitted into the Union,
that no more than FIVE States should
ever be made out of the Territory; but
we do not believe that the State will
ever be divided. People like to be-
long TO a big State, and no one wishes
TO lessen the power of the political or
ganization of which be is a member.
They may talk about cutting up the
State, but they will finally prefer TO
keep it all together, and make it the

WEST NEWTON, PENN. October 90
/ The old blue-blOoded families of this
place are all torn up in consequence OF
the backsliding of Rev. Jacob Ruble.
/ pastor of the Zwickly PRESBYTERIAN
Church, one of the oldest places of wor-
/ ship in Western Pennsylvania. Rev.
! Mr.. Ruble is a married man, but three
/ years ago his wife became insane and
was sent to an asylum. He has been
looked upon until yesterday as a most
devOut and jealous follower of our
Lord; but the Rev. Ruble has been
dealing crooked. Miss Mary Markle,
aged twenty years, the daughter of one
of the oldest and wealthiest families in
Westmoreland county, and girl of
voluptuous form, with the physical
charms in the highest degree of perfec-
ton, her violet eyes and sunny hair
causing her to be known all over the
two counties as belle of the first wat
er, gave birth to q child. A terrible
scene occurred at the family household
when she announced that its father was
the Rev. Jacob Ruble. The condition
of the erring girl had not be IN suspect
ed until cOncealment was no longer DOS
sible, and even after the shameful de-
nouement came, the family and
their immediate friends so effectuaIIy
concealed the painful fact that not un-
til Friday did the matter become pub
lie. The scandal spread all over the
town and neighborhood, and the Red
Stone Presbytery, of which Rev. Ruble
was member, decided on taking
prompt measures, and held a meeting
to-day. Rev. Ruble at first denied that
he was the father of the child, but final
ly made full confession. Among
other things he said cone day in the
latter part of last March Miss MarkIe
came into my room unattended and
made advances to me, and, although |
was sorely tempted Iby the devil, [ st
first resisted and begged this girl to
leave me, but she would not do so, and,
persisting in her attentions, I fell from
grace" The Presbytery therefore BAN
ished Rev. Rubel forever from the en-
joyment of ministerial rights In con
sequence of the high social standing of
both parties the story of their .immor-
ality has created great sensation, and
much sympathy for the family thus
brought to shame.
