THE YORKTOWN CENTENNIAL.

The managers of the Yorktown cen
tennial are actively ut work preparing
for a demonstration which shall be
worthy of the occasion. The appropri-
alton made by Congress was 100000
for monument, 5000 to bear the
expense of entertaining the French
squadron which is expected, and $780,
900 for the purpose OF the congressional
committee, which is to have partial
charge of the arrangements. Each of
the original thirteen States has made
an appropriation TO send regiment
of its militia to take part in the mill
tary pageant, and it is expected that 4
number of other States will follow this
example. Efforts are being made to
induce the State of Ohio especially, on
account OF her former relations to Nir-
ginia, &c send a regiment to York town
The French government has sent OIL
cial notice of an acceptance of the invi-
tation TO participate, and seven ships
of the French North Atlantic quadron
are expected. Two vessels of the
French navy will leave Havre, bring
ing number OF prominent French Off
Gals. The celebration at Yorktown
will begin on the sixth of October, the
date At which the American and
French forces opened the outer parallel
for the siege of the place. 1t is de
signed'to have the encampment of the
troops continue until the eighteenth
of October, and upon the nineteenth,
(the centennial of the surrender), the
marine delegations present, with other
civic associations, will take part in lay
ing the cornerstone ofthe monument.
Arrangements on a large scale are
making for the accommodation of the
crowds of visitors which are expected.
The hotel accommodations in the re-
gion are, of course, limited, but the

THE REpUBLlcAN BLuNDER.

The Republican coalition with Senu-
tor Malone, of Virginia, is blunder
in more senses than one. 1t is not
only a blunder because it has caused
the Republican party to lose ground at
the North, but it is also a blunder be-
cause it has caused Democrats of every
shade of opinion to come closely to-
gether, and to present an unbroken
front to the enemy The Republicans
fondly hoped that the detection of
Senator Malone would be an entering
wedge to split the solid South. 1t has
been nothing of the sort, but, on the
contrary, the indignation it has ex-
cited has made the Southern people
firm in, their devotion to the Demo-
cratic party.
After the defeat of Hancock and En-
gliSh there were some signs of weaken
ing among the Southern Democracy.
1t appeared to many that it was hope
less contest in which they were engag-
ed, and they felt Inclined to give up
politics entirely and to let things take
their course.
Now, however, in view of the fresh
evidence presented to them of the I'M
scrupulous nature of the Republican
party when power and offices are in
question, and in view also of the dis
gust caused by the bargain and sale be.
tween that party aud the Virginia de.
serter, the Southern people have turned
TO the Democratic party with the firm
determination to uphold its principles
and to fight with renewed vigor under
its banners. We repeat 1.-THE Re
publican leaders have made serious

Speaking of the trade with Mahone, he
said, "the Republican party gave its
vote TO Riddlebarger AS an earnest that
il was not sectional. This, and this
only. was the bargain it had to offer its
Southeru freinds.' at last has the
Republican party been compelled to
attempt an explanation of the bargain
made. That is one point gained. Let
the good work go on. Now let Mr..
Cameron explain the "pecnliar coinei-

was taken, that his party controlled

essay on the Progress of Journalism.
AS might have been expected, coming
from such u source, this article is re-
plete with beauty OF thought, chastity
of language, poetic diction, and ele-
sgance of style but, what might not
have been go readily imagined, it is
strong and powerful in logical thought
and sequence. Taking her position,
she handles her subject with masculine
vigor and energy, and at the same
time clothes 1t all in such beautiful
imagery, that, to the power of robust
thought, she adds all the beauty oil
feminine wichcry.
We can only say to cur masculine
friends of the Press Association, who
seem in this instance TO have taken
positions .afar back" and to have
fought, sif fight at all, in the erear
rank, THAT they will have difficult
task in the future to maintain theil
masculine superiority. Take our adj
vice, and look to your laureIs, gentle

A singular delusion is abroad in the
country. Numerous letters have re-,
Gently been received at the treasury
department at Washington relative to
the value of a standard silver dollar
on which the eagle has eight tail
feathers. 1t appears that report has
been circulated that only a few of
these pieces were coined, and that
consequently they possess great numis-
matte interest and value. The facts,
however, are that owing to defect in
the hub from which the first dies used
at the minis for coming the standard
silver dollar We're made, the eagle had
eight tail feathers. A new one was
substituted, on which the engrayer put
seven feathers in the tail, but this was
not done until about half a million of
peices were struck at the Philadelphia
mint and probably as many more at the
Western mint. The eight-feathered tail
dollars are, therefore, of no more value
than those with only seven.

STEUBENVILLE SCRAPS,
Matrimonial Miscries.

SrEuGENvILLE, May ll.-Proceedings
in divuice have been commenced in
Common Pleas Court by John Dobbs
against his wife, Susan Dobbs. The
plaintiff and defendant were married in
lS14 in Pittsburgh, living together two
years. From the record Of the Court it
does not seem to have been happy
marriage, as in 1876 we find verdict
against the plaintiff for assault
ing the defendant. Now, how
ever, Mr.. Dobbs sues for divorce on the
ground OF desertion, claiming to have al
WAYS been kind and considerato hus'
band. In her answer and cross petition
Mrs. Dobbs charges her husband with
cruelty, habi;ual drunkenness and adul-
terry.
Papers were also filed in the case OF
Mrs. Mckinney ys John Parkinson.
This is breach of promise case, the
plaintiff laying the damage to her aztec.
lion at Sl5, 900. The defendant is an old
bachelor farmer of sixty years, worth
about $4,000, living near York, this
county, and the plaintiff is a buxom
widow OF thirty summers, OF the same
place.

THE WAR ON CAMERONISM.
The Coming Fight Against
THAT Boy DOn's" Return to
the Senate

HARRISBURG, Pa, May 1.-THE de.
termination to eliminate Don Cameron
from the Senate OF the United States,
and thereby retire him as the dictator OF
Pennsylvania politics, is irrevocabIe,
and the muttering of the storm that pre-,
cedes the whirlwind will! be heard in the
State Convention called to meet next
September. Only State Treasurer
is to I've elected, but the fight ior
Treasurer is preliminary to the
contest for Governor year
hence, and as the term OF
the Governor elected next year extends
two years past Cameron's present term
as Senator, il will be seen that even this
skirmish for position is fraught with lm-
portance. The anti Cameron candidate
ior Governor is Senator John Stewart,
of Franklin county, and with view to
giving strength to his canvass an earnest
effort will be made to secure the next
Chairman OF the State Committee in the
person of Charles 5. Wolfe, OF Union, or
General koOntz. OF Somerset, while
George Il. Mapes, OF Venango, will be
put forward as the anti Cameron candl-
date for State Treasurer.
Upon the other hand, Cameron, Quay
and Magee will make John NJ. Pomeroy,
also OF Franklin county, their candidate
for Chairman of the State Committee,
and as now deemed advisable George
V. Lawrence, State Senator from Wash
ington, their candidate for State Treas
uTer.
To the September Convention MI.
James McManes, who led the bolt against
Cameron at Chicago, was chosen SEN
atorial delegate, and as he is said TO have
had long and confidential interview
with Secretary Blaine last week, it is
believed here that he will carry two
thirds of the Philadelphia delegation
over TO the anti Cameron faction.

Reform in Women's Dress.

Vienna Correspondents.
A met ting was held last week at Ber-
lin with the view Of forming league for
the abolition OF the present female
dress. There were present twenty five
women.
The lady who presided explained that
the movement was TO abolish all un-
healthy and inconvenient articles OF
wornen's dress, and TO replace them by
"a dualistic form OF attire for the lower
as well as the upper limbs"
The supporters OF the movement de.
sire that no more should be heard Of
long skirts and fashionable fiippery.
They wanted TO wear trousers, because
in them they had ioim OF dress worthy
of human race.
Only one person spoke in defense OF
the old costume, on the ground that
flowing robes are more graceful than
tight fitting garments; but her voice was
drowned in a storm OF opposition, and
the anti.petticoat resolution was carried
almost unanimously.
