Beckley was treated very disrespectfully

did get hearing he soon gained the atten-

A QUERY.

QUERY.
Is il true that there is now. or will be
within the next five or six months, an cX-
tra0rdinary demand for skilled labor at $40
or $50 per month, such rs carpenters, &C.,
at Washington city; Ii so. Is it 10 be
known only 10 a select class!
IT is rumOred here that such 4 demand
does exist to the extent OF four men from
each township OF every county in the State,
and that they are to be selected as follows :
The Reidiustcr Executive Committee OF
each township is to recommend the four
to the county chairman oi this party, and
he, in turn, is TO recommend to- Senator
Malone, who has the appointing power.
BY answering the above, you will Obligc
many subscribers. We ask only for i'll
formation. :.
white men who can be caught by such
bait ought to train with the negroes who
voted with the Republicans in reconstruc-
ton times III order to get forty acres and
a mule" OF course, there is no truth in

Two "Machines e. in Danger.

Now OK Herald.
The Republican party in the twomost i'm
portant States OF the Union. New York and
pennsylvania, is in serious peril this fall.
In pennsylvania there are two Republican
tickets In the field. one Of them has been
placed in nomination by the Cameron
machine and the other is the represent
atlNe OF those who have revolted from is
corrupt and outrageous tyranny. The Re
publican party Of the Keystone State is very
strong, but ii is not strong enough 10 EJECT
two Republican Governors in November.
Since the death OF General Garfield the
younger Cameron has had the whole support
OF the Federal Administration. Postmasters
and revenue officers have been removed and
appointed at his command. He has quar-
tered his henchmen in the diplomatic SER
vice, IN the Interior Department. in the
army, and in the navy. What is the re-
suit: a Republican revolt which threat
ems to throw the State into the hands OF
the Democracy.
What viii New York do: Mr.. Folger is
very respectable gentleman but thus far
his appearance has not created the slightest
enthusiasm. He is under the shadow OF
the machine. The audience sees the wires
by which he is pulled. Ii sees the Gould
Gonkllng combination behind the scenes.
The machine OF the grand old partyv
mas ut last become more fatal TO lis friends
than TO its enemies.

A WARNING.-A month ago, before
the new Eleventh street bridge was
completed, great outcry was raised
because Of the necessity, as it was
said, for pedestrians to pass over the
Brandywine railroad bridge, at the
risk of being killed by passing trains.
Now that the Eleventh street bridge
Is in an inviting condition for passing
over it, we find that it is the custom
Of workmen to pass over the railroad
bridge, and last evening about forty
of them made . narrow escape and
were emily saved from injury or death
by the lucky thought of conductor
that there might, at that hour, be
some one on the bridge, and stopping
his train. There were to trains
passing each way at the time, and the
escape of those that were on the
bridge and passed off while one trair
stopped should be warning to all tC
eep off the bridge.

THE CONSEQUENCES OF DEPENDING
UPoN CoNeRRss. The New YoIk
HsrGId charges the loss and suffering
by the overflow of the southern rivers
to the neglect of the people to keep
the lsvees in order, and that the
neglect was the consequence Of looked
for aid from Congress. 1t says: GAN
Of the trouble, destitution and sick
ness might have been prevented had
the levees been kept in good con-
dition, and the levees would have
been all right had not gang of poll
tioians, demagogues and would be
Treasury thieves tried for years to
persuade the people in the Southwest
that Congress would take charge of
the levees and make their improve
ment the excuse for some big local
jobs"
That may all be true, and yet, as
the Mississippi rose higher, and con-
tinued higher longer than ever known
before, the disaster might still have
occurred had Congressional aid been
given, and not have built the leVeet
as high as they should be. 1t is hoped
that something permanent may now
be accomplished, and that the terrible
results of the flood may be made tt
serve as guide to prevent like fu
ture disaster.

"OMENs or WAR" again salutes our
ears a. pointing to terrible and CAL
amitsus war in which all the nations
of Europe win Iake part. In fact
nothing but the want Of money on the
part Of Russia and Austria prevents
war. Turkey would be further carved
and divided ct once II these nations
were not in need of funds 90 keep
armies in the field. The 'ssick man"
never was 90 sssick" as at present.
France aud England are ready TO
share Egypt with each other, and
were it not for Germany Turkey in
Europe would be reduced by Russia
and Austria to mere Principally for
the residence of the Sultan as o de-
pendent on those two nations. But
the want of money in Russia may moi
defer q war much longer-the unres
of ber great and widespread popula-
tion and the fear that the army may
imbibe Nihilistic principles, is likely tc
drive the Gear into war, to keep thu
officers and soldiers minds engaged
and diverted frOm what seems thu
most dangerous excitement that haI
ever threatened the existence Of th,
Empire. In case Of war In Earop'
this country may expect to be calle'
on next year for larger supplies thai
ever. We occupy an enviable posi-
tion, and our mechanics were never 81
well prepared to execute orders TO
war material, nor were our farmer
ever so able to increase the area TO
the cultivation of the cereals and ship
ping products.

DETECTIVES D1scHARezD.-Ma

DETECTIVES DIscHAReRD.-Mayor
King Of Philadelphia, seems to be a
man Of pluck and sxpedients. Yes.
terday he discharged eight Of the de-
tective police force, continuing only
three. There has been general sup
position that the detective policemen
Of Philadelphia were not reliable. 1t
has been more than once limited that
they were not unwilling to share the
plunder of the skillful thieves, or
wait until O reward was offered for
the recovery Of the stolen property
before they took the pains to arrest
offenders. In fact the detective has
been supposed to be 3 shield and pro-
tector of notorious thieves, whom they
"shaddowed, aud from whose ao-
tionA they made considerable sums
more than their pay amounted to
during the year. 1t seems to be a
matter Of fact that the position of
policeman is corruptive, and that there
are very few men who can long hold
such positions without giving way to
evil practices. The action Of Mayer
King will, no doubt, be approved by
the people of his city generally. He
may not have succeeded in getting
better men ; but he has shown q will
lingness to make an effort for which
he deserves commendation generally,
since it is not the people Of Philadel-
phia only who suffer from skillful
thieves. They are ever watchful fol
an opportunity to investigate the con-
dition of strangers pocket books, anG
are sure to take the last cent if it car
be got, from the unfortunate country
man, who happens to take q drop toC
much and become unwary and un
suspicious of all that may come abou
him.
