Of admiration and praise for the little

criticism, and as this was Miss PlXley's
fourth visitation to Lancaster the specta'
tors did nothing but listen and look in
delight aud, mayhap, note the superior
excellence she has attained in her role and
observe her felicltous suppression OF
inclination to the exaggeratlJn which
marked her earlier pre6entalions.
Miss Pixley's support, rs inti'
mated above, is notably satisfactory.

Geifing Well,

Senator Cameron has been heard from
in Europe, and the report is that his
condition of health is improving and will
enable him shortly to return to US.
Fresh scenes, good diet, temperate
living, and quiet mind have worked
the good to the senator. We trust that
he will not hazard his improvement by
premature return. We are willing to
spare him from this session Of the
Senate. 1t is true that there are some
persons interested in the proposed
change Of its officers, who would
like to see his vote represented.
If Senator Anthony should not be
able to continue in his seat until
this matter is settled, Malone and Rid
dleberger hold the balance of power in
Senator Camerons absence ; and in that
event the worthy McCook would hardly
be the secretary. McCOok is known to
o great many of our citizens as the officer
who was in command of the camp OF
Ohio troops here in the earliest days OF
the war, and we should be sorry to see
his pleasant prospects dissipated. Still
the health Of our senator IS prime
consideration with us and We would not
have him risk it.

are put to their wits ends to get rid of
his pretenslons, Meanwhile there is q
little stir among the Democrats, but q
very strong undercurrent of feeling that
their party can do no better than rur

O'DoNNELL died bravely, probably with
the conviction that his death was honor
able and that he would be held to be q
martyr by his countrymen. No doubt
he will. That he slew Carey, not in
self defense, in accordance with the
verdict of the jury, seems more probable
than his own statement that it was
defensive act. That he was sent to do
the deed was not shown. He would
seem to have been actuated by the
belief that it was praise worthy
act to relieve the world of such
wretch as Carey. That Carey was a
very bad man there is no doubt; that he
deserved hanging more than those
whom he caused to be hung is certain.
The English government, in giving him
his liberty, shocked the sentiment Of
mankind. In sneaking him out OF
the country, it showed its knowledge
Of its unrighteous act. 1t put before
every man, who met the wretch 1t sought
to save, the temptation to slay him as
one wholly unworthy to live. 1t is itself
responsible for O'Donnell's act. Carey
should at least have been imprisoned for
life, IL his life was to be given him. In
hanging O'Donnell England has made a
mistake. His trial was not fair and the
refusal to listen to the request of our
government for a delay Of execution was
most ungracious.

raE PENN Inos woKas,

Closed over tho Coming holidays
Some one in this city advises the news
papers abroad that tho Penn iron company
has shut down its mill here because Of the
refusal of its workmen to accept reduced
scale Of wages, and that the suspension is
likely TO be permanent because Of that re
fusal. This is n misstatenent. The mill
has shut down for the holidays, and has
advised its employees that when IL resumes
in January, 1t will be at a reduction
of wages. Only q few of them have
said that they would not work at
the reduction. These are among
the puddlers, the best paid class
in tho mill. Tho places Of those who
do not accept the reduction will be sup
piled without difficulty, as tho supply of
workmen is greater than the demand, and
the wages offered are moro than those
which have been for some time paid in the
great iron region of tho Schuylkill valley.
Tho cost of making iron at the Penn mill
Is quite as low as Mt any rolling mill, but
it has for few weeks past been above tho
current price of the manufactured iron. AS
there is little prospect of tho prioo ad-
vancing, it follows that the cost must be
reduced and this must be done at every
mill which intends to keep in solyent
financial condition.
