The Pennsylvania senatorship is showed into
the legislature by the withdrawal of over fifty
republicans who favor Galusha A. Grow The
caucus was held, however, and Mr.. VIM H.
Oliver jr., receiving 70 votes was declared the
nominee. In the present condition of things it
is hard to tell who will be the choice of the legis
lature. The democrats are talking Grow, and
it looks as though some coalition would be form
ed with the anti-caucus republicans, unless a
compromise is made in that party.

SPEAKING of the relative importance of
federal and state positions, a senator, long
in public life, said to correspondent, that
when he took his first Office. the position of
governor of a great State like Pennsylvania
or Ohio was considered more honorable,
and, in fact, higher, than to be United
States Senator. OF late years he had noted
wonderful change in this respect, and he
declared that the average man would now
prefer to be door-keeper in Washington
rather than to be State senator, and that a
member of congress is now regarded as
bigger man" than the governor Of state.
This tendency is growing, and the ultimate
result, it is alleged by those who are watch
ing the course of events, will be that after
while nobody will take state Office who,
by any possibility, can get a federal Office,
where the pay is better and the honor more
lofty. But let mona cherish the gloomy an
ticipations of time when American citi !
zens will decline and absolutely refuse to
fill state Offices. Their patriotism will be
equal to any exingency that may arise. All
the Offices now existing, or which may be
hereafter created, will not equal the aspira-
tons of those who wish to do the state
some service, even to the alleged detriment
of their own personal interests.

THE principal features of the new bill
for funding $3.50, 900 five and six per
cents, about falling due, are as follows:
New bonds are to be issued in an amount
not exceeding $40o, ZOO, 900, and treasury
certificates of $40, $40 and $50, not exceed
ing $500, 900, 600, each to bear 3 per cent.
interest, the former to be redeemable after
five years, and payable after ten years, and
the certificates to be redeemahle in one
year and payable in ten; limiting the ex-
pense of the new issue to one fourth of
per cent, and making only the. new 3per
cent. bonds receivable at the treasury as
security for national bank circulation. The
bill has passed the house by fair majority,
but a strong effort will be made in the SEN
ate to change the rate of interest from 3 to
3 1-2 per cent. on account of doubts as to
whether the treasury can dispose of 3 per
cent bond

The discussion of Gen. Garfeld's cabi-
net timber continues to attract a great deal
of the public attention, and new names are
almost daily presented to the public. Some
are at once discarded, while the unity of
sentiment upon one or two who have been
mentioned seems to afford ground for be-
leving that they are among those whose
claims are favorably regarded by the Pres
ident-elect. But it is announced that he
will not arrange the whole matter until late
in February, so there still remains ample
time for the guessers to ply their vocation.
