THERE are a great many good reasons
why Jacob NJ Campbell ought not to be
elected over Gen. Coffroth to Congress.
but CampbelI's vote in the House last
April i'm favor of the admission TO his
seat of Geo. @. Cannon. the Mormon
delegate from Utah. is not one Of the
reasons, ms is now claimed in some
quarters. The leading Democrats in
the House took the ground. and il is the
only true ground. that Cannon. having
received an overwhelming majority Of
all the votes cast at the election had a
primn fdcid right to his seat. and that
the fact of his being polvgamist dis
qualified him, as the Republicans con-
tended, was a matter for after consider
alton. Gen. Campbell and a few other
Republican members voted with the
bulk Of the Democrats to admit Cannon.
and the Republicans as a body voted
against his admission. We gave Gen.
Campbell a creditable notice at the time
for the courage ne displayed in voting
with the Democrats and against his own
party on the question. and repeat what
we then said. that Cannon's admission
70 his seat on the face of the returus had
no more TO do with sanctiOning polyga-
my than u bad with approving the
Mountain Meadows massacre. In any
other view -four -fftEs Of the Democrats
in the House voted in favor of polyoamv
when they endorsed Cannon-s right to
his seat

sets, having made a careful and thor
Ough canvass Of the State, claim his
election by a majority Of not less than
fifteen thousand. One Of the novelties
Of Buffers canvass is that he has i'm
pressed into his service Miss Annie
Jenness, a beautiful and highly educa-
ted young lady, whose home is in New
Hampshire, and who viii stump the
State i'm his behalf. Butler is man of
wonderful expedients in anything he un-

Mr.. ARTHUR last week appointed
Brigadier General John Pope to be Ma
jor General, to fll the vacancy caused
by the retirement of Major General Nc
Dowell, Pope's advancement is due to
political considerations and Lot to any
claims he himself possesses, He is and
always has been regarded as the most
shameless liar in the army-a military
braggaTt, whether his headquarters are
in the saddle, as he boasted they were
before his defeat at the second battle of
Bull Run, or out of it-never yet won a
battle, but always blundered, and then
meanly attempted to shift the response
bility upon some one else, as in the case
of Fitz John Porter. John Pope has no
friends in the army and his promotion
is an insult to it, but it suits the men
who coutIol Chester a. Arthur, not a
few of whom will find their vocation
gone when Robert E. Pattison becomes
Governor of the great State of Pennsyl-
vania. Vote the whole Democratic tic
ket, State, judiciary and county, and
thus aid in bringing about this much
needed result.

ANOTHER WONDERFUL HEN.-The latest
and most wonderful hen story comes from
Martic township, Mr.. Andrew Warfel has a
hen of the Dark Brahma persuasion. who is
credited with laying two eggs per day. She
began this extraordinary course about hay
making, and with the exception Of about
two weeks has kept it up ever since. We
have it upon the authority of a gentleman
who was there and kept watch on that re-
Inarkable specimen of the hen family. He
saw her 90 on the nest in the morning, saw
ber lay an egg, and saw her repeat the same
operation late in the afternoon. But for his
positive assertions concerning this perform

in this fowl proceeding. Lancaster Nelo Ere

A QUESTION of the very highest inf
portance is involved in the Virginia
election-a question far above all polit.
ical. considerations, and its result on
Tuesday next is regarded with deep and
general interest throughout the country
1t is a question of the honest payment
of her State debt or the reputation of
one.third of the debt in amount. Can
"A scurvy and dishonest politician like
Malone SO poison the popular mind of
that State as to procure through the
ballot-b box an endorsement of the infam-
Gus doctrine of reputation, of which he
is the braZen and open public advocate?
If left unaided to himself Malone could
never cram his nefarious scheme down
the throats of the intelligent, educated
people of Virginia, who pay nearly all
the taxes, but his main reliance being
on the ignorant mass of the negro popu-
lation, who care nothing about the debt
and are only intent upon holding the Of
fees for purposes of plunder, he has a
fair chance Of success. And then he is
aided by Arthur, who has placed at his
disposal all the government patronage
of the State. What a spectacle a
President of the United States throwing
the weight of his official patronage into
the scale to enable a political freebooter
to dishonor and disgrace a State by re-
pudiating the payment of an honest
debt No deeper humiliation than this
can possibly be in reserve for the Amer
lean people, and the man who don't
show his utter contempt for the party
that is sanctioning Mahone in his des
picable doings by voting the Democrat
ic ticket on Tuesday next, has no re
/ spect for political honor or integrity.

A SEVERED SIAATEsE TwIN.-At the
clinic at the Philadelphia Hospital on Satur-
day DR.. VIM. Fl. PancOast introduced to the
students young man who Is the only per
son In America who has survived the opera
ton Of cutting apart two children who were
congenitally attached. The persons name
IS q. w. Lytle, residing a Connellsvflle, Pa.
He bears upon his left cheek deep scar
where the lieature had been cut TWENTY
four years ago the operation was performed
In the Jefferson College clinic by the elder
Dr- Pancoast, aud was witnessed BY all the
physicians IN the city. 1t was considered a
bold feat of surgery, and many physicians
shook their heads with fear lest the attempt
would result fatally to the patient. Lytle
was then but seven months old. He was
born with hdeOus appendage to the left
cheek that reSembled an imperfectly devel-
oped infant There was a circulation of
blood through the ligature into the maIfor-
nation, which also had heart. The success
OF the operation attracted universal atten-
uon, and photographs of the malformation
were sent abroad at the request Of eminent
English surgeons DR.. Pancoast is positive
in his belief that all double children. like the
Siamese twins, should be severed by the sur
geons knife. The operation has been sue
ceSsfully performed only three times, once
each IN Paris, London and Philadelphia.
