they borrowed it of Chalmers or Malone.
General Butler is keeping the Rep1o-

A PLAIN STATEMENT.

The Silver State, which has an add
mirably terse and natural way of stating
a proposition, and which is at the same
time independent in criticism of public
men and measures, says 1T has been
unanimously accorded by the press, with
out distinction of party, that Mr.. Cassidy
made the best Representative ever sent
by Nevada to Congress. Though a Dem
ocrat. he is not a hide bound partisan,
and the only fault which Republican
papers find with his course in Congress
is that he voted for the Naval Appropri-
alton bill, introduced by the Republican
leader of the House, George NJ. Robson
of New Jersey, passed by the unanimous
vote of the Republican members of the
House and Senate, and approved by a
Republican President. Senator Jones OF
this State advocated the passage of the
bill, and it only shows the Inconsistency
of politicians when the Republican press
and speakers OF Nevada find fault with
Representative Cassidy for doing what
they commend Senator Jones for doing
that is, voting for a Republican measure.
When Cassidy returned from Washing
ton his every act as a representative o.
the people was sanctioned by his constr
tuents in the county where he resides,
as was evidenced by the ovation giver
him by the people Of Eureka, where the
most prominent Republicans We'd with
the Democrats in commenting his actor
and approving his course. No Repre-
sentative in Congress ever received 6
more unanimous Endorsement from his
constituents than did G. W. Cassidy.
and it is but reasonable to believe that
intelligent people who approved his course
in Congress will not let their prejudice'
override their judgment now, and con
denim, in the excitement incident to a
political campaign, what they approved
when reason, not passion, held sway.
When Congress adjourned no man in
the State of Nevada, Republican or Dem
ocrat, could defeat Cassidy for Congress,
and nothing has since occurred to lower
him in the estimation Of the people"

AN OLD LIE.

For the want of better thunder, at
this late day of the campaign, our Re-
publican friends are reasserting that
Cassidy lodged the vote IN the River
and Harbor Appropriation bill. This
SANDER has been so often refuted already
that it would seem superfuous to recur
to it again. The fact is, however, as
shown by the record, that Cassidy voted
against the bill on its final passage, and
in effect voted to sustain the Presidents
veto, being paired with another mem
her who would have voted aye.

Relief for cyclone Sufferers.

WASHINGTON, Oct. ~8l.-Judge Swain,
in reply to n inquiry of the Secretary of
War, takes the ground that the officers of
the army who refuse to pay their debts
are liable to the processes Of the common
laws, the same as civilians, and that when
their acts tend to bring discredit upon the
army, or in any way impair the efficiency
or discipline of the service, they eonsti-
tute sufficient oaGse for a court-martial.

THE Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue, Mr.. Raum, appeared before the
Committee of Ways and Means OF the
House one day last week and advoeat-
ed the reduction of the tax on whls-
kew from go cents, the present tax. to
so cents per gallon a reduction in the
tax on tobacco from 16 to II cents per
pound, and on cigars from So to 81
per thousand, He also recommended
the abolition of the tax on matches, etc,
making a total reduction in the internal
revenue of the country Of about $50, 900
600. The committee.will report bill
for this purpose. l. is not a doubtful
question that the government will de-
rive more revenue from a tax of 80 cents
a gallon on whiskey than it now does
from TIE tax of 80 cents, just as more
revenue was collected under a tax of 20
cents than under tax of one dollar.
The reason why this is so is easily un-
derstood and need not be stated. A re-
duction of the tax ought, one would
suppose, to be followed by a correspond
ing reduction in its price, out somehow
this does not follow, and particularly so
with regard to tobacco. a few years
ago the tax on this staple was largely
reduced. Did the manufacturer reduce
the wholesale price? We don't know,
but we do know that the retail dealer
didn't do so, because a ten cent piece of
tobacco before the tax was reduced, was
a ten cent piece of tobacco after the re-
duction. Men who use tobacco need
not, therefore, flatter themselves that
any addition will be made to the size of
the plug after Raum's proposed reduc-
tion in the tax takes place. The con.
sumner who really pays the tax is the
only party who is swindled, which leads
US to say that there is something rot.
ten in the practical results Of reducing
the tax on tobacco.

GUITEAU has addresseda a private note
to Col. Reed, the Chicago lawyer who
was associated with Mr.. Scovilie in de-
Tending him before Judge Cox, in which
he offers him, Ben Butler, Mr.. Merrick,
of Washington, and Judge Magruder,
of Maryland, FIVE thousand dollars in
promissory notes, payable in one year
If they will put their legal heads to-
gether and sget him out of Jail. He
bases his belief in his ability to pay. up
on the theory that if he was released he
could make fifty thousand dollars on the
lecture platform before the first ap-
pearanee of snow next winter. Aside
from the folly of his proposition, it is by
no means certain that Guiteau couldn't
scoop in nice pile of money as public
lecturer. This is a great country and
some very astonishing things are con-
stantly happening in it; and as Robert
Ingersoll, Royal Bob, +" as Garfield was
wont TO call him, never fails to draw
crowded houses, thereby putting money
in his purse, the probabilities are very
strong that Charles julius Guiteau
would meet with the same success if
the same opportunity was afforded him.

THEtwo United States Senators from
New Jersey and the members OF the
House from the same State have ad-
dressed q letter to the President asking
him to take such action as will relieve
Gen. Fitz John Porter from the penal
ties and forfeitures imposed on him by
the finding of the Court Martial before
which he was tried in 1868. At cabin
ct meeting last week PoIter's case was
the subject OF discussion, but no con-
clusion was reached. The general be-
lief at Washington is that whatever ac-
tion can be taken in the matter by the
President will not be much longer de-
layed. 1t is terrible outrage on a man
as brave as FitZ John Porter TO be the
victim for nineteen years of false ac-
cusation made before a Court Martial
a tribunal, which it has been well said,
is always organized to convict"

The Supreme Court on Monday last,
Judge Sharswood delivering the opin-
ion, reversed the decision of Judge
Pearson, of the Dauphin county Court,
in regard to legislative salaries. This
decision of the court establishes the con-
stitutionality of the act of 1874. allow
ing 80 per diem to legislators for time
spent over one hundred days. From this
decision, whether right or wrong, there
is of course no appeal, and the question
which was in issue must be regarded as
finally settled, From the experience of
the past one thing may now be regarded
as certain to take place in the future,
and that is that each session will be ex-
tended to the utmost legal limit of time
covered by the SO per diem clause,
! which is $50 days, unless the people will
/ elect a Legislature which will repeal the
/ act of 1874 and enact in its stead law
fixing q definite salary for the session
lritbolt regard to it8 length, whether it
! lasts one hundred or one hundred and
| fifty days. This is the only remedy, as
we have time and again expressed our
firm belief, against the curse of a tjCe
months session of the Legislature, and
if adopted would save the taxpayers OF
the State every second year not less
than one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars

THE Tammany Hall members in the
New York Legislature (three Senators
and eight Assemblymen) went over neck
and heels to the Republicans on We'd
resday of last week, and organized the
Senate by voting to give the Republican
Lieutenant Governor power to appoint
the committees, and in the House as
sisted the Republicans in elecLing the
chief clerk. This is the end of Tam
many's mournful but hypocritical howl
for the last seven weeks over the dan
ger Of corporate influence and power in
shaping legislation at Albany. There
is no philosophy in crying over spilled
milk, but if any man claiming to be a
Democrat ever richly deserved political
damnation, that man is John Kelly.

THE Congressional Apportionment
bill, as it passed the House on Saturday
last. fixes the number of representatives
at 325, This is an increase of 30 over
the present number, 293, and under the
bill the respective gains in Democratic
and Republican States will nearly be in
the same proportion. Texas gains the
most and increases her present number,
Siu, to eleren. Pennsylvania gains one,
and so also does New York The only
States that lose are Maine, Vermont
and New Hampshire, each getting one
member less than at present. This bill
will pass the Senate and be signed by
tie President. A great mistake was
made in the House by defeating an
amendment prohibiting the division of
a county in districting a State, as is the
case now in this State, several town
ships in Bucks county, being attached
to the Northampton and Lehigh coun-
ties as the Tenth district, and the bal
ance of the county connected with
Montgomery, as a district. The FORM
alton of district in that way for a par
tisan purpose, which is always the con-
trolling motive, is wrong that admits
of no possible excuse.

A MIRACULOUS EsCAPE.-One Of the most
singular adventures and wonderful escapes
from death ever recorded took place in this
city Saturday morning, says the Davenport
Democrat. At that time Mrs. Peter Ander-
son, who lives in the vicinity OF the Half
way House, and who had been up town, was
returning to her home. She had to cross the
railroad. just then a C., B. and Quincy
train was coming and she stepped back on
the c., r. l. and p. track to allow the train
to pass, not noticing at the same time that
train was backing down toward her on the
c., r. /. and p. Road. The latter train
struck her before she was aware Of its com
ing and knocked her down, she falling i'm
mediately between the rails. The train
came on and passed over her PROSTATE body
the brakes and trucks striking ber successive
hard tLumpS. The locomotive was the last
near the ground, pushed and rolled her along
the track for some distance. Fortunately a
cattle-guard was near, and when she reach
ed it the 6rebOx forced her between the ties
into the guard and the locomotive passed
on. These ties are close together, and it is
not understood how she could have been
forced between them without killing her,
but the fact remains.
She was picked up and attended by DR..
Sloan, who at first thought she was danger
Ously hurt. Her skull had sustained a slight
fracture aud the flesh had been torn from
her body in several places. Her shoes and
stockings had also been ripped of. Subse-
! quent examination, however, proved that
her wounds ere not fatal and with prOpeI
( care she can recover. She is n young woman
and has been only recently married. She
/ owes her life to q fortunate combination Ol
( circumstances and to the fact that she is not
/ very large woman. After one has beer

CARDINAL MANNING was one OF the
principal speakers at an immense public
meeting held in London on the first Of
the present month, for the purpose OF
denouncing the brutal and inhuman
persecution of the Jews in Russia. In
his speech he was somewhat severe on
his old schoolmate and still personal
friend, Mr.. Gladstone, for his neglect,
or rather his refusal, to protest against
the cruel outrages committed upon these
unoffendiug people by the subjects Of
the Russian Emperor. No passage in
Cardinal Manuing's address elected
greater applause than the following
For uprightness, for refinement, for
generosity, for charity, for all the graces
and virtues that adorn humanity, where
will be found examples brighter or more
full of human excellence than il the
Hebrew race ?"

THE Washington correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Post, referring to the an
nouncement of Morgan r. Wise, of
Greene county, as a candidate for re-
nomination to Congress, affirms that his
(Wise's) colleagues from this State do
not regard him as a Democrat that he
was a skulker and dodger at the last
session when his vote was needed that
his conduct has been such as to bring
reproach on the delegation in many
ways that his fellow members actually
blush to own him as a colleague that
he has always been a cheap demagogue,
and is a man without either brains or
culture. This is rough on Wise, but
not more so than he deserves. He was
bad egg when he was in the Legisla-
ture, and it will always be one of the
mysteries of politics to Democrats who
live outside of his district, how it ever
happened that he succeeded in impos-
ing himself upon it as a candidate, and
therefore, from its strong Democratic
majority, was certain to be elected.

TIE NEW SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN OFFICE.
We are glad to announce, as we should
have done a week ago, that the Scientific
american came out of the late fire in New
York, like the tabled Phoenix, with renewed
life. The subscription lists, account books,
patent drawings AID correspondence were
preserved tu massive fre-pTOOf safes. The
printing of the Scientific american and Sup
pleDlent was done in another building con-
sequently the types, plates, presses, paper,
etc, were unharmed, and no Interruption OF
business was occasiOned.
The new Scientific American Offices are To-
Gated at 261 Broadway, corner of Warren
street, q very central and excellent situation.
The new building fronts toward the City
Hall, the Court House and the new Postoffice
"a magnificent structure, which cost eight
million to build. Nearly opposite, and few
hundred feet distant from the Scientific Amer
ican offices, is the entrance to the great Sus-
pension Bridge over the East River between
New York and Brooklyn, which required ten
wears to construct and twenty millions or
dollars to paw for. In front, also, of the Sci
eHtifc american is the City Hall Park and
Printing House Square, with It's statue of
Benjamin Franklin, and the homes Of emil
nent editors and newspapers, such as the
New \ oTk Tribune, New Y ork Times New
y YOrk sam, New Y ork WOrld, New 7 ork Her
aid HAL and Express, Zeitung and others.
