ALL reports from Harrisburg agree
that the present week will see shar,
turn in the senatorial situation there.
1t is not believed for an instant that
the election of either Grow or Oliver
will be the outcome of the struggle
if its end is near at hand. But the
supporters OF each will make reso.
lutte effort to control the issue. Nor
likely will any one OF the seven names
prOffered by the Grow faction get enough
votes from the Caucus wing to elect him
and Scotield is talked of as the coming
man. He would not be unacceptable to
Cameron fer although he is brilliant
enough to outshine the present senator
On the liocr, he is just indifferent enough
to hand over To THE FAMILY exclusive

A Decision Wanted.

The judges Of the court do not seem
to realize the serious Inconvenience tho
creditors of the city are put to by relsoI
o. the paralysis OF tie treasurer'S office
else they certainly would decide without
delay the application pending before
them for Il mandami.s, and so settle Tie
question as TO Who is in fact ihe city
treasurer. We have heretofore emuhat
ically declared our belief that the pro.
ceedings OF city council have been unfair
to Mr.. WelchanS, even to the point of
maliciousncSS. We believe they have
subjected the city TO Il heavy claim for
damages OH his part: aud that. more
over, t:e. members of the committee
who reported him to be Il de-
faulter were guilty OF Il gross libel.
for which they deserve 70 suffer sniartly.
Still he seems to have been lawfully
Ousted from his Office and only has his
remedy in his action fcr damages. The
court, us We understand, has substan-
TALLY SO decided already. Why then
does it not formally render the decision
which will enable the city to pay its
creditors? The interest upon great
MANY bonds has become due since the
first of the year, and remains unpaid. 4
sum due the state for tax on
city loans is likewise in arrear:
as are other items of indebtedness.
which cannot be paid until the court
acts and releases tie twelve Thousand
dollars in Mr.. Welchans's hands belong
ing to the city, and which now yields it
no profit and really is the property of it's
creditors. The stupidity of the councils
has very unnecessarily produced this
state Of affairs. The whole quarrel with
the treasurer has been as senseless as any
thing we ever knew. to be done. even by
the authorities of our town. And there
is 40 remedy but the interposi;ion of the
court, which should act one way OF the
other; and it don't matter Il copper
which, SO that it acts.

There is man in Galva named Purdy,
This of itself amounts to nothing but when
the aforesaid Purdy sets up as weather
prophet it lends additional interest. It
appears that weather prophet Purdy, By a
lucky guess, predicted frost to appear
June 26th 1880 He was so much en-.
couraged that he concluded to try il for
1881. and accordingly he announces that.
on June Ssh, next, frost will occur, and
that there will be some damage to corn
though not very serious. because the frost
will be light. The Galva Journal thus
explains Purdy's rule: IF there be 6
foggy morning in February there will be
q frost the corresponding day in June; if
the day following the fog be bright, then
June sunshine on the frosted vegetation
will blacksn it; If cloudy then little dam.
age need be unprecedented as the same
clouds will & gather again In summer to
shade the earth"

AS this QUESTION is frequently asked.
we will simply say that she is q lady
who for upwards of thirty years has
untiring devoted her time and talents
as a female Physician aud nurse,
principally among children. She has
especially studied the constitution and
wants of this numerous class, and, as
a result of this effort. and practical
knowledge, of obtained in lifetime
spent as nurse and physician, she has
compounded Soothing Syrup, for
children teething. 1t operates like
magic-giving rest and health, and is
moreover, sure to regulate to bowels.
In consequence of this article. Mrs.
Winslow is becoming world-renown-
ed as benefactor of her race; children
certainly do rise up and bless her;
specially is this the case in this city.
Vast quantities of the Soothing Syrup
are daily sold and used here. We
think Mrs. Winslow has immortaIiZed
her name name by this invaluable
article, and we sincerely believe thou
sands of children have been saved from
an early grave by its timely use, and
that millions yet unborn will share its
benefits. and unite in calling her bless
ed. No me Their has discharged her
duty to her suffering little ones, in our
opinion. until she has given it the
benefit Of Mrs. WinsloW's Soothing
Syrup. Try it. mothers-try them
now.-Lodies' Visitor, New York City.

Of Folger, OF New York. for the treasury
grown cold. when iusinuations affecting his
Integrity as a public officer are made.
During Grants administration he was in
charge of the sub treasury ut New York

Cincinnati Commercial says:
The mos. striking point of objection is

be made after six months service a.
assistant treasurer. for the distribution of
stamps. His claim was rejected by the
court of claims. and is pending before the
supreme court of the United States. 1t
certainly was extraordinary in its charsc-
ter, no other treasurer ever having at
tenn pied ito collect a percentage on the
stamps that he had distributed the work
being a part Of official duty. The claim ia
based on a mere technicality, there being
no actual extra-eficiai duty performed.
and the whole period of service of the
judge being but six months, The case
will be found in the thirteenth volume of
the record of the court of claims. and the
language of the court in disposing Of 1t
was of great severity. Ii also appears that
he was one of the Republicans who aided
In the procurement of the legislation by
tho state of New York that resulted in the
Tweed robberies. and he is said to have
been rewarded for his services in voting
for the Tweed oharlsr by fraudulens

1t is the very general understanding
that Judge Folger's calling and election
are sure, and Il. would be unfortunate for
him. for the new administration. and fer tho
public if there is truth in these state
ments. Freedom from even the sugges-
ton of jobbery is particularly desirable in
