GEN. JACOB II. CAMPBELL. member
OF Congress from this district, according
to all the reports from Washington,
swore more terribly than "Our army in
Flanders when he was coerced, in Obe-
dience to the imperious demand Of Don
Cameron and against his own settled and
better judgment, to vote in the Repub-
Iican caucus for Keifer, of Ohio. instead
Of Hisceek, Of New York, for Speaker
of the House. Gen. c. is just as COM
petent, if not a good deal more so, to
know who ought to be nominated for
Speaker as Cameron is to tell him, but
for some low personal purpose of his
own the Pennsylvania "bOssn wanted
Keifer nominated, although not single
Republican member from this State was
favorable to him. Cameron, however,
insisted upon united support by the
Republican members from Pennsylvania
and what was Gen. c. to do =? If he vo-
ted against Keifer, whom the boss want
ed, and for Hiscock, whose defeat the
boss was determined to accomplish, he
was certain to bring down upon him the
wrath of the house of Cameron. and be-
ing thus placed between the devil and
the deep sea, he went with the majority
Of the delegation, voted in accordance
with Cameron's edict, and took his re-
venge in unlimited vollies of profan-
ity against the tyranny of boss rule and
the abject slavery to which It reduces a
man like himself, who claims to be his
own master, when he is forced to yield
and protest. To see man like Gen. c..
who knows what is right and approves
it, and yet by the force of political pow
er and patronage, welded by another, is
compelled by personal considerations to
pursue the opposite course, which he
shows the despotic rule ex-
ercised over Pennsylvania Congressman
by Cameron, who don't possess a single
attribute to make him feared except his
position as a Senator and his money.
When will men assert their own abso-
lutte independence, not only in name, but
in fact and by their deeds ?

ALTHoCoH Logan, of Illinois, failed
at the last session Of Congress to get the
Senate to pass his bill placing Grant on
the retired list of the army with full
pay, he is determined to put the thing
through if he can. and on the very first
day of the present session he rode the
same hobby into the Senate chamber.
Logan ought to be ashamed of such q
performance, and his friend, Ulysses 5.
Grant, ought also to be ashamed for per-
mitting it. A man like Grant, who is
worth half a million at least, is not a
proper. person to be placed on the retired
list, and especially so as he is a private
citizen, and has now no more connec-
tion with the army of the United States
than the Emperor of China. 1t is be-
lieYed by some shrewd Judges of men at
Washington that Logan S real purpose
IS to retire Grant az a third term candi-
date, in order to make room for himself
for a FIRST term in 1884. It has long been
supposed that he is troubled with weak
ness of that kind.

OK Monday last the President nomi-
mated to the Senate Frederick 7. Fre-
linghuyseu, Of New Jersey, as Secretary
Of State, to succeed Mr.. Blaine, who
formally resigned his office when AIr, Ar
thur became President, but continued
in the discharge of lis duties at the Pres
ident' request until the meeting of Con-
gress. The nomination was immediate
" confirmed. The new Secretary was
formerly a member Of the Senate and is
a nephew of the Frelinghuysen who was
the Wing candidate for Vice President
in 1874 on the ticket with Henry Clay.
The writers of Whig campaign songs. to
enliven that most exciting contest were
put to the severest trials in order to find
words that would rhyme with Freling-
huyseu's outlandish name. The chorus
to one that we remember ran thus:
"And we'u give the LocofocOs pizen
With Henry Clay and Frelmghuysen."

THE great and unusual length of the
Presidents message forUids its repro
duction in or columns, but we do the
next best thing by publishing Synop-
sis Of it containing its most important
features. A Presidents message ought
to be like the widow Maloue's song,
mot long, but strong" Instead Of
this. each incumbent OK the Office tries
to outdO his predecessor in the length OF
his official communication to Congress,
and paper Of ordinary size is thus pre-
cluded from laying it before its read
ers, unless it excludes everything else,
The message as a whole is plain, busi-
ness like parer, with no straining at ef-
feet, and as it discusses public questions
in q calm and temperate spirit it has
been very favorably received by the
press and the people of the country.

the very nature of the circumstances
surrounding him, is certain yet TO come.

The Commissioner OF Pensions states
in his report that there are now pending
for settlement 265, ,575 original pension
claims. 227, ,O40 Of which were fIed prior
to July 1st, 1880. 1t is stated that 10
per cent, of the number Of Claims now
pending will be rejected or abandoned,
which would show the probable admis-
sion of about 1913, OOO claims, all Of which
involve the payment OF arrears of pen
sion. 1t is found that every case allow
ed requires for the first payment upon it
about $1,000, and multiplying this
amount by the whole nGmber7of proba-
bic admissions gives nearly $3.50, 900, 600
as the sum requlIed. This arrears of
pension is the most stupendous swindle
OF the kind that was ever railroaded
through Congress. The men who had
the bill in charge and engineered it
through both houses two years ago al
legged that it would not take out of the
treasury more than fifteen millions of
dollars. Under this fimsy pretense the
bill easily passed, and now the figures Of
the Commissioner Of Pensions reveal the
full extent Of the gigantic fraud. Con-
gress ought 10 interfere and put an end
to the plunderlHg scheme if it can. Has
it the power to do SD I? We do NOT think
it has, but that having embarked in the

SECRETARY OF TIE COMMONWEALTH
NJ. s. QUAY, was in Washington last
week, and is reported as having stated
to member of Congress from this State
that Governor Hoyt will not call an
extra session of the Legislature togeth-
er during the present winter. We pre-
sumo that Mr. Quay spoke by authority
and that therefore the present Congress
sional, Senatorial and Representative
districts, as we'll as the Judicial districts
viii remain as they now are until the
meeting of the Legislature in January,
1888. The refusal of the Governor to
call the Legislature together Will save
the State between one and two hundred
thousand dollars, and if the apportion-
ment bill to be passed by Congress at the
present session shouldgive the State one
or two additional members, they can be
elected as candidates at large, as was
done on a former occasion. Nor can
any real, substantial harm be done by
eecting Senators and Representatives
in the present districts next November.

Col. JOIN W. FORNEY, the well
known politician and journalist, died at
his residence in Philadelphia on Friday
morning last, after only three days i'll
ness, in the sixty-hfth year of his age.
Ever since 1S45, when he became the
editor of the PennsyIUauio7, the leading
Democratic paper of the State, Col. For
ney has been prominently before the
country in one capacity or another. a
detailed narrative Of the part he has
played upon the public stage is there
fore unnecessary. The following. which
we copy from the Philadelphia Record,
expresses a just and true estimate of his
character. That paper says of him:
The death of John W. Forney takes ont Of
the list of living men the most noted and tai
ented journalists in Philadelphia. He was
more than clever man SOcially-he was an
active, scheming and forward politician, fun
OF shrewd Instances and plausible prece-
dents, and he was a patriotic citizen but
he was at his best as writer for the press. He
was, Ike many other of our public men,
uewspaper-made. He fell short Of the
breadth Of craftsmanship, and in so far as
his career was disappointment to himself
referable to the fact that his ambitions were
not always in line with his abilities. Few
public men had a wider acquaintance than
Mr.. FOTney. Popular manners. a sauve and
easy address, and that universal kinship
which springs from q kind heart, made and
kept for him a host Of friends among all
classes Of people In his paTtisanship Mr
Forney refused to merge his friendships,
though his impulsive nature made him as
sentimental in his beliefs as in his affections.
The passionate indictments Of the civil war
swept him from his Democratic moOrings,
and he went as far as the faTthest in his at
tempt to break down the party which it had
been the work OF his life 70 build up. But
there was no venom in his nature. After
the war was over his vindictiyeneSs melted
away in the glow Of renewed friendships and
the pride of a reconstructed Union. His
views were widened and amplfed by for
elgn travel and association. When he died
he was less Of partisan than a patriot. His
loss makes a gap that must remain untitled.
We do not think that he leaves behind him a
personal enemy. Peace to his ashes.

A TERRIBLE DISASTER IN VIENNA The
Ring Theatre in Vienna, Austria, caaght FIRE
on last Friday night while a play was in
progress before crowded house, and was
entirely consumed. The scene of the burn
ing building with The flames bursting thro'
the windows and then through the roof and
with the cries of the dense mass of human
beings inside struggling to escape is des-
cTlbed rs being one of the most agOnzing
and most beaTtrending that was ever wit
messed. Hundreds jumped from the npper
windows and many escaped in the same WAY
from the lower balconies, some safely, but
dozens of them were killed and many MAIN
ed for life. The upper gallery. which was
densely packed, fell into the pit, where the
only remains found were small fragments of
bone. It is feared that the loss of life will
be found, after the facts are fully known, to
De not less than eight hundred. The fire
started on some part OF the stage, but in
what manner it originated has not vet been
ascertained to a certainty.
