the usual result has been that the longer the
company fought and the more triais !" on
tanned the larger the amount it had 10 pay iii

with railroads in suits which grow out Oh ooi-
lisons caused by the most outrageous carelesS-
ness and mismanagement.
Tho members of the National Guard OF this
State are showing cOmmendable activity jill
ns;ng all means within reach to make them
selves soldiers in fact as well as In name
the zeal of the men and officers does not
slacken. within year or two we may nave
the 10000 militiamen in this State so drilled
and disciplined that we can depend upon thelh
with perfect confidence in any emergency
Some of them are well trained now, put tnero
is great room for improvement in the Dody do
whole. Just now military movements are
brisk. The 9th Regiment, of this city, snot "V
Creedmoor yesterday; the 18th, OF Broohiyn'
will practise there to-day. The 18th, OF ne"
York. leaves the Camp of Instruction az
paokskill this morning. and the 18th takes It's
place.
If tbe Democrats would only be content 10
10 oco;rSt oil measures good or bad, which
tho Republicans propose in Congress, and
,ror,d teen their mouths firmly shut, we might
have Door opinion of their honesty as leSis-
lators but we should have more respect Tor thelr
intelligence. A case in point Is their conuuct
IN the Senate yesterday. They did their best
IN nreyent the consideration of the Revenue
bill. 1t panied them, they said, to think that
sucb action would hurt the feelings OF tpe
Tariff Commissioners. And there was great
deal more of this kind of talk Their OBJECT
is pitifully transparent. 1t is to keep the he
publicans from passing any measures likely 10
please taxpayers. We should know that that
was what they were after whatever their con-
duct might be; but they would appear 10
much better advantage if they would manage
their opposition with a little more common
sense.
The independent Republican candidates IN
PENNSYLVANIA have submitted a proposition
70 General Beaver and his associates on the
Stalwart ticket which will fully test the de-
sire of Mr.. Cameron's followers for harmony
in the party. The proposition is that all the
present nominees shall withdraw and not be
candidates for denomination, that new con-
vention shall then be called as proposed by the
Cameron State Committee, and an entirely new
ticket be placed in the field. This would re-
move all present antagOnisms and assure a
united party and the choice of candidate that
could defeat Mr.. PattisOn. No other course
seems likely to produce the same result. II the
Stawart candidates care more for the success Oh
the party and good government than they do Tor
personal ends they will not delay to accept
this proposition. Unfortunately however, they
are under Mr.. Can eron's domination. Colonel
McMichael, one OF the Independent candidates,
does not unite with his associates on the ticket
in this proposition, but he promises to with
draw if a satisfactory ticket is nominated.
It looks as if somebody had bungled at
Alexandria, and it apparently is not Arab
Pacha. He is on his way to Cairo with his
army, while Admiral Seymour is III control oil
the dsmantled Notifications, the burning city
and the bodies of the victims of the massacre.
While the commander of the fleet was await
ing with dignity formal surrender from
Arab, the Egyptian was leaving the city, al
ready in flames, and the Europeans who had
remained were being put to death. The flag
of truce was flying all this time and this
seems to have deceived the English. 1t Is
@-NN
there to cut off all chance of a retreat as soon
as the firing from the forts ceased. There GER
tainlv should have been forces ready to land
instantly to finish the work begun by the
bombardment, to take possession of the rail-
road and the city, and to make the life and
property of the inhabitants SAFE Ii
men could not be spared from the vessels,
then, apparently, the bombardment was prema-
ture or possibly assistance which the Admi-
raj expected did not arrive. AT least, nc
advantage seems to have been gained by the
English. The status quo is no more nearly
reestabished than before the bombardment,
and the Khedive's authority has not been
restored. Arab Pacha can make as much
trouble now as ever, and there Is pretty
serious business to be done before he can be
captured or suppressed.
