PHILApELpuIA. March 141ssI

PHILADELPHIA, March IA, 1881.
ED. JOURNAL As Garfield has been
duly installed in the Presidential chair
and his Cabinet selected, the good people
can now settle down and be content with
the ordinary news OF the day, except those
who are clamorous for the many office,
yet to be filled by Presidential appoint.

The sad news that starlles the Nations
this morning is the assassination of the
Emperor of Russia. 1t seems the sixth
attempt TO take his life has proven sue.
cessful.
Last week there was little Jubilee in
this city among railroad men, caused by
the purchase by Roberts, President OF the
P. Rs R., the Phila. viii. & BALTIC. R. R
from Thayer, of Boston. There has al.
ways been bone OF contention between the
P, r. r. and the B. & o. r. r. over the
route from Baltimore to New York CITY
BY this purchase the former road gets con.
troll. 1t is claimed the latter will now
build a new railroad from Baltimore to
Philadelphia.
Gen. Grant recently purchased a so acre
farm about 6 or miles out from this city
on the P. r. r.
Gen. Hancock paid his respects to the
Quaker City by short visit few days
ago, and yet there was no grand display OF
reception given him. Even the Americu,
club, the Stalwarts who were such fas,
friends at the Cincinnati Convention and
during the campaign, did not give him
nny notice whatever. Query What ails
the Democracy?
About l O'Clock last Saturday night two
houses here, where young men and maid

sip their beer, &C., were raided by an eff.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON. d. c., March 4,'SI.
Probably no topic is being more widely
discussed to-day throughout the country
than the attitude of Gen. Malone, Sena-
tor from Virginin, toward the Republican
party. This comes of the fact that upon
his vote depends the question, likely to he
decided to-day, of the supremacy IN the
United States Senate. The committees
and officers Of that body are to be appoint
ed, nominally for the brief executive seq.
sion, but virtually and practically tor two
years. The committees will either be COM
posed, each, of majority OF the friends Of
the administration anxious for its success,
or of majority of lis opponents straining
every energy TO make it failure, on the
ruins of which they hope for a party tri-
umph in 1884. To these committees must
be committed all legislation and executive
nominations. Hostile committees can de-
lay action, refuse 10 receive, and neglect
to seek Information, and color with party
bias their consideration OF reports and all
matters referred to them. Appropriations
for carrying on the Government, and for
maintaining lis authority when resisted by
the Bourbon Democracy, as it has been in
the past two years, must depend on wheth.
er Gen. Malone will aid the Bourbons OF
the Government. The power of the Pres.
ident to nominate faithful and patriotic
district attorneys and marsbals, who can
be confirmed without the concurrence oil
| the Bourbon Senators from the States In
which they are TO serve, must for two years
] depend on the vote Of Gen. Malone. The
success or failure OF new measures that
may he found necessary for the security o.
the ballot-box and the protection of equa
political rights OF the citizen will depend
on his vote. To-day will decide on which
side he will enlist.
The news OF the assassination OF tn,
Emperor of Russia was received her,
yesterday. Secretary Blaine at once cab
led note of coincidence.
AS to an extra session Of Congress moth
ing yet is definitely known. Many urg,
one, and with good reasons. First, som,
kind of funding bill should be passed
We have now debt of 500, ,000, 900, bear
ing FIVE and six per cent. interest, tl,a
could and should be funded at lowe
rate, and there is but little doubt but tina
il could all be funded by three per cent
bond secondly, an election committe
should be appointed and sent South for tn
purpose OF investigation. The Republi
can majority in the House is small, and
members elect hold their seats throng
! fraud and violence, they should be unseat
ed. A third reason for an extra session
that there should be an Apportienmen
bill passed. These, with many other
would indicate the necessity of an extr
session, and should TO every fair minde

FROM STONY RIDGE.

ED. JOURNAL The completion OF the
Ohio Central r. r. is a grand thing for
this place, though few ever expected 70 sec
it, and the prospect for town here war
very small, and the road bed a source o
great annoyance TO many. People hat
even been heard 10 philosophize that il
was not best TO have railroad too near .
town. But The attempt to build towr
without, certainly proved failure, though
possessing one of the finest locations in th,
county. But now all nre smiling ant
cheerful and the prospects brighten every
day. Our depot is completed, the tele
graph instruments placed in position, tn,
operator installed and we are in com mum
ication with all the world and the lest o.
mankind. The sound OF the hammer car
DO heard echoing through the distant wood
and the powerful saw mill OF the Messrs
McCutchen is turning out lumber at ar
astonishing rate In order to be able to sup
ply the expected demand for the same.
Two iron manufacturers were here thi.
week desiring TO purchase part OF the
ridge for the erection OF lime kilns; they
have number of smelling furnaces in the
South part OF this State, and consume O
large quantity OF lime OF certain quality
which they believe our stone capable o
producing. Another party already own
land here, bought for the same purpose.
A bolt factory, a grist mill, stores and
dwellings are talked of quite freely, and al
are confident that Stony Ridge is to be quit,

We have mails from north and south
daily, and now we get onr papers the snm,
week they are published. Now In the opin
ion of your humble correspondent there il
but one thing that can prevent the growth
and prosperity of our town, viz: Parsi
mony on the part of the holders OF the land
If they pursue an enterprising and libera
policy have no doubt we shall soon SCI

contend for high prices its growth may b,
retarded, ii not prevented. Ysurs,
