The Electoral Count.

Another square back-down has been
scored by the expiring Democratic Con-
gress. Ever since last Saturday the Bour-
bons have been busy hunting for loop
hole through which they might pass out
with the east possible noise. 1t became
apparent last week. that n quorum of Dem
ocrats in sympathy with the Morgan -Bick-
nell resolutions could not be readily OBJ
tanned in the House. The only thing that
remained therefore. for the obstructionists
to do. was to contrive some plan by which
they could save themselves from deserved
obloquy. and get out of the predicament
which their obstinacy and incapaeity had
placed them. Monday conference took
place. and various lines of retreat were
proposed and discussed, but no conclusion
was reached The conferences were re-
newed Tuesday. and finally proposition
made by Mr.. Carlisle was agreed upon. rs
plan to be submitted to the action Of the

in late years to set aside such an ex-
preston of the popular will, it becomes
the duty of somebody to vindicate the

JUDGE AGNEW.

The visit of Judge Agnew to Butler
last week was one of those events that
make life pleasant. After a long alb
sence he returned 10 see people with
whom for many years he was associated
as the President Judge of their Courts.
During these years warm friendship
grew up between him and them. This
friendship arose principally from an adj
miration of his character as man and
his ability as lawyer. In both he was
above suspicion or reproach. Besides,
he was of that social, frank nature that
attached people to him. This character
he still possesses, and his joyous, hearty
greeting to his friends was warmly re-
ciprocated by them. All were pleased
to see him as an old friend and most
cordially greeted him as such. The
vigor of Judge Agnew is remarkable.
Although aged more than three score
years and ten, yet he seems as full OF
life and strong in mind as ever. When
he walked down the aisle of the lecture
room with the same light and elastic
step as of thirty years ago, all wonder
ed at the well preserved health of their
old friend. His visit was as pleasant
to us all as we have no doubt it was to
him, and will be among the recollec'
tions to be cherished His lecture was,
of course, good and instructive. The
theme was of religious nature and his
treatment of it would have done honor
to the ablest of divines. But it is not
of the lecturer so much as Of the man
that we write this.

BLAINE IN THE CABINET.

We hope the report is true that Pres
ident-elect Garfield will ask Senator
Blaine to be chief of his Cabinet and
that he will accept 1t at once gives,
not only the Republican party but the
whole nation, assurance of strong and
vigorous administration during the term
of President Garfield As Secretary OF
State. Mr.. Blaine will not only be able
in the conducting of our foreign affairs,
but valuable in council as to all home
affairs. If the other Cabinet officers are
selected with the same degree of fore
sight the coming administration will be
one distinguished in our future annals.
The present is an age of the greatest
progress. Particularly is this so in
governmental affairs. Vast projects for
the enlargement of the intercourse OF
nations are also at hand. The coming
four years will likely witness great
questions and great changes. james
G. Blaine, therefore, and men like him,
in the Cabinet of President Garfield,
are demanded by the times.

Tho pennsylvania Contest.

The unfortunate political imbrcglio
at Harrisburg grows out of an at
tempt on the part of a few politicians
to shut the people out of all part in
the choice of Senator. In the cam
paign last fell the Senatorial question
was freely canvassed. Mr.. Grow was
brought forward as a candidate by
the Endorsement of numerous county
conventions Some effort was made
10 set up an opposition candidate, but
it failed for want of any popular sup
port. The men named could not COM
mand any following in the Republican
ranks. They were mere local or State
Capital politicians Thus, as far as
there was any expression of the peo-
pie on the question, that expression
pointed plainly to Mr.. Grow as the
choice of the Republicans of the State.
When the Legislature met, group Of
able party managers surprised the
the whole State by presenting a can
didate whom ninety-nine voters out OF O
hundred had never heard of before
and making vote for him a test of
fidelity to the ruling Republican in
fuences of the State on the part OF the
members. Mr. Oliver, the candidate
thus projected upon the Legislature,
is a respectable and wealthy manufac-
turer, but has never made the slight
est figure 10 public affairs outside his
own county. But for the support of
. h. hn ,ryn.,l1 ta ua
been thought of in connection with the
Scnatorship
The question is, therefore, whether
the Pennsylvania Republicans shall
have Senator representing them or
one representing merely the machine.
The caucus has decided in favor of
Mr.. Oliver, but it woRld haye decided
with equal alacrity in favor OF sIaith,
Brown. Jones or Robinson, if the ma
chine had told it to- A majority of the
country Republican members hold out
against its decision and stand upon the
instructions Of their constituents. They
are entitled to the respect OF all men
who believe in fairness in politics and
who think that the people should rule
instead of being ruled by the men
they elevate to Office.
Yesterdays ballot in the Legisla-
ture shows that the men who hold it
to be their duty TO represent their con-
stituents are standing together with
admirable firmness. Mr.. Oliver re-
ceived 95 votes and Mr.. Grow sc
votes, the Democrats standing by
Wallace. Not one of the 80 men who
signed the pledge not to enter the
caucus has deserted M, Grow, and q
half-dozen more are acting with them.
At the same time, Mr.. Oliver is re-
ceiving the solid caucus vote. 1t
looks like long struggle, with the
victory fer those who have the most
staying power. In this onntegt the
ifty-six opponents of the machine will
be sustained by the thought that they
are not fighting for a faction against
the people, but for the people against
faction.-New YonE tribune.

THE LEGISLATURE.

But little has been done in the Leg
islature so far, and but little will be
done until the United States Senator
question is settled. In the Senate Mr.
Greer introduced bill regulating the
payment of costs in criminal cases. A
bill to prevent the waste of oil at wells
while the land on which they are is in
dispute or litigation, has passed FIRST
reading in the Senate. Petitions have
been presented for holding all the ses-

THE sentiment of the Pennsylvania
Republicans against the rule of the ring
is being crystalized from day to day
and made manifest by the meetings
held all over the State.
Honorable men read with intense dis
gust the unblushing and exultant state
ments in the machine organs claiming
that a bargain has been completed to
eerrymander the Congressional districts
in Democratic interest in return for the
election of Oliver.
There is yet opportunity for Mir. Oil
yer to do graceful and sensible thing
by Withdrawing from the Senatorial
contest. Nothing but a bargain, hui
initiating in itself, reasonable in par
ty view, disgraceful to him and abom-
Unable in the sight of every true man

sense under obligation to Mr.. Oliver

snow storm commencing last Friday,
2lst inst, and continuing through Sat
urday was anything but mild. Snow fell
to more than foot IN depth, and with
the largest flakes ever recollected here

size However. it was a beautiful
snow" The following is what Vennor
predicts for the coming spring: "ln
