Badly Beaten ~ Burglars.

ALTOONA, July 12.-Early this
morning two men entered a second-story
window at the house of William Ford,
foreman of the railroad shops in this
city, by means of ladder, presumably
for the purpose of robbing the house, as
it was currently believed that 5000
in cash were kept in the house, "a boarder
having received that amount few days
ago as back.pay pension. When the
intruders entered tie bed room of Mr.
and Mrs. Ford, the latter heard them
and awoke her husband, who jumped
out of bed. The intruders attacked
him, violently beating him over the
head with sand-bag and revolver
and kicking in three of his ribs. Mrs.
Ford was also struck several times in
the face and on the head. her screams
aroused the neighborhood aud the as
sailants hastily decamped without OBJ
tanning any plumber. Mr.. and Mrs. Ford
are both seriously though not fatally
injured. There is no clue to the ASA IL
ants.

WASHINGTON, July - -Ex Speaker
Randall vic is a chief among the
champions Of "ecorcmy and reform"
in the Democratic parry, succeeded in
proyokipR discussion to-day in which
he got badly worsted He declared
that the Cl amman CT the AppioprlA
tions CommiJJae had ma Hifested a W IL
lingness, il q dn eagerRess, to push
through Tie HOuse preparations for
deficieDcie> der cienc1es which would
not have eAlstt d if the heads OF the ex.
ecutive departments had kept within the
law, All this, Mr.. Randall more
than limited, was only another manifes-
tation of TIE Republican tendency to
extravaganza.
Chairman Aiscock replied in an in
dignant SPEECH, showing that nearly
every deficiency which this Congress
had been called upon to make good was
caused by he deliberate refusal of the
last Congress TO make appropriations
sufficient to carry on the Government
according to law. For example, the
salaries of postmasters are regulated Dy
the law and the amount needed to pay
them can be accurately estimated; Out
the Democrats had refused to appropri'
ate the sum asked for.
Such is the case also in regard to tne
mail transportation by railroads, anu
in that case the mulish Democrats had
cut down the appropriations TAR below
the estimates. So also in regard to de-
putv marshals, whose employment and
compensation are regulated by law. MI
Hiscock asked Mr.. Randall two or
three questions respecting these branch
az Of the service, and said that ii ne
could get a direct answer from Mr..
Randall there we're other questions ne
desired to ask.
Mr.. Randall was "in corner" from
which with all his skill as an artful
dodger he vainly tried to escape. Press.
ed harder and harder by Messrs His
cock and Robson, he at last shouted
that the railroad companies had Go.
creed" the Post Office Department, and
then he sat down and sulked, evident
ly realizing that he had made a mess
out of it,
He said not word about the def.
cheney appropriation for the election
marshals, and it is interesting to note
that when the item for the payment Of
marshals for the current year was
reached soon afterward, not a Demo
crat opened his mouth to object. Even
the pugnacious Mr.. Blackburn meekly
assented and said not word about
"the gage of BATTLE" nor about sweep"
ing the last vestiges Of war legislation
from your statute books"

"A Word I'm Behalf of the Common
LaDOroF.

LabOroF.
For the Republican.
1 am preaching every Sabbath to
quite large number of laboriug men,
and knowing something of their actual
condition, | desire to say word in
their behalf, in the hope that it may re.
ceive a moments thought from those
who are more favorably situated
The people of whom ! speak are in
dustrious, economical according to their
degree OF knowledge, sober aud uncom-
planning and yet their lot, it seems to
me, is harder than it ought to be in a
community like ours. In the first
place, the laborer gets no higher wages
this summer than he did last, while
the food upon which he must live, has
advanced considerably, and in al
most every case, he must pay az
least one dollar a month more rent.
Again the wages received are but
sufficient to give him a bare living
with almost no chance for improve
ment, and consequently the laboring
man has but little hope, and is in dan
ger every moment through a week.
illness to be thrown into condition of
actual want.
Another fact ask attention to, and
that is so obvious as scarcely to need
stating. 1t Is this, seven dollars per
week will not feed, clothe and shelter q
family in the city of Wilmington. The
consequence is that the wives of these
poor men must become drudges also,
and the labaring man leaves the fac
tory, or foundry, or lumber yard, or
wharf to m eet a tired and cross wife,
children unsightly and home aisor'
dered. The road to domestic broils and
to intemperance from such condition
of things Ia a short one, and it is a
source of wonder that many more do
not take 1t than do.
Now, Of course all laborers do not
work for a do lar and twenty-five cents
day, but many do; and 1t is evident
that this is not enough. But l be 'ieve
the employers of this city do not desire
to have their laborers reduced TO con
dition merely above pauperism. l
therefore ask them in the name of the
common laborer who seldom complains
IL Il seldom strikes, to consider if 1t
would not be wise to divide little
more of the profits of their business
with this class Of men. Suffering, sick.
ness and premature death may be pre-
vented; and an abundance of intemper-
auce aid pauperism averted. II Is bet
ter to pay living wages than enforced
charieties and heavy taxes to relieve a
condition of things which too low wages
is sure to bring about. Believing that
our employers are too generous, humane
christian and patriotic to pass this ap.
peal over Gu tirely unheeded, l send II
forth. L. Il. 5.

Amendments TO Iho revenue Bill.

A"6HU meMaD NVNHV NsONOA~o AAAA'
WASHINGTON, July 12.-Furthel
amendments to the Internal Revenue
bill were made by the Senate Finance
Committee to-day. A prOviso was
added to the first section "that on anc
after August IL, 1882, matches may bt
removed by manufacturers thereof from
the place of manufacture to warehouses
within the United States without at
taching thereto the stamps required by
law, under such regulations as may
be prescribed by the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue" The errOl
in the second section concerning the
tax to be paid by retail dealers in leaf
tobacco was corrected by adding the
words "per annum" at the end of the
section, so that the clause in question
now reads:
= "Retail dealers in leaf tobacco shall
pay $3.50, and 80 cents for each dollar
on the amount of their monthly sales
in excess of the rate of $500 per an
num-" The third section was amend
ed by changing the date when the pro-
visions OF the bill relating to cigars
and cigarettes are to 60 into effect from
October, 1882, to January, 1883.
Just before the adjournment of the
Senate today Mr.. Cutler gave notice
of an amendment proposing to repeal
that paragraph of the Revised Statutes
which provides that brandy, spirits
and other spirituous beverages under
first proof shall not pay less rate OF
duty than 40 per eentum ad valorem.
