The London correspondent of the New
York World writes that lit is understood,
l NAV say, that the Premier is engaged
actively on two measures Of great impOr-
tauee-the reform of the Corporation of
the CITY of London and the assimilation OF
the franchise in the counties. Both are
destined. it Will readily be seen, to have a
wide effect, and if Sir Charles Dixie en-
ters the Cabinet as President of the Local
Government Board, Mr.. IjOdsOn taking
the Chancellorship Of the Duchy of
Lancaster, you can depend upon
it that they are to be pushed
through under his immediate direction.
The City lof London, 1 must say, is now
the only port Of the metropolis that is
thoroughly well managed, and it is doubt
ft.l. to say the least, whether it will be so
when the much abused corporation is
swept away. The object in each of these
changes is, Of course, to secure the Radi-
cal preponderance throughout the coun-
try districts and in the metropolis, and it
must be said that there is at present no
resisting power visible"

About the Presidency Gen. w. T. Sher-
man talks to "Gath" as follows: 'NOw,
about that, you see 1 cannot be fool enough
to decline what is not offered to me; but
what do l want to turn from the prospect
of rest and peace, at least for period of
years, to the delusiOn of four years in an
office that is just hell? That's what it is,
it is hell. What did Gen. Harrison get
out of it? Nothing but month of misery
What did Gen. Taylor get out of it.?
Twelve months of misery. What did
Grant get out of it? Do l want to resign
this competence Congress has bestowed
on me for four years of hell? What did
Hayes get out of the Presidency? What
did Garfield get? Take them all within
your memory. Nothing but worry, trOu-
bic, misunderstanding" If the General
will not take the place himself he has a
brother, John, who would take it if he
could get it; but the General, by the way,
is Bob IngersolPs candidate, and likening
the office unto Hades does not count.

Americans have a perfect mania for
changing things. Every new man elected
to office astOunds his constituents with
the discovery of something loose about
the government machinery, and his learn
ed expositiOns of the weakness and in
efficiency Of all departments, surprise
them that the thing has stood so long.
There must be alterations and amend
ments, not only to meet present needs and
probable eXigencies, but possible cOntin-
gencies. All constitutions, bylaws, rules,
decisions. customs, comments, acts, stat
utes, interpretations, maXims, etc., must
be dOctOred, patched, plastered and pOul-
ticed, until the Originators would not own
them-in fact, all things must be remould-
ed to bear the impress of the latest genius
shufiied by time and circumstance to the
ever changing surface.

The year goes out on many damaged
regulations. Arab Pasha, Marshal Ser

herd, Dorsey, Brady, Phipps and Others
cannot look back upon 1882 with any
pleasure. On the other hand, Wolseley,
Seymour, Clemenceau, with Butler,
Cleveland, Pattison, and the Democrats
at large, have reason to cherish the recol-
lection of the past twelve months.

In the FitZ John Porter case, before the
Senate the other day, General Logan, who
has been bounding Porter all the way
through, used the following language, if
he was correctly reported:
$50 it might be said with truth that
Fitz John Porter caused the loss of both
battles at Bull Run, just because the
Union army in each case was commanded
by a Western man. The fact was that
Mcclellan, Porter, and several others who
could be named, formed a little cOterie of
regular army officers in the army of the
East. One of them was to be President
and others were to be-GOd only knows
what-but il was understood among them,
even as early as the first battle of Bull Run,
that no Western man should command an
Eastern army"
Had the war lasted little longer there
would have been another " secession"
from the . glorious Union" Perhaps the
Eastern scoterie" already began to sus-
pect that a very loud Western General
had, as subsequently reported, first ten
dered his valor and his sword to Jefferson
Davis on condition of high rank, and on
finding them not accepted, became
great Union General. General Logan
tells, what many people in the South
knew at the time, that the war men of the
North and West were held together by the
cohesive power of public plumber"
They agreed then, as now, ON scarcely
more than one thing" the ga-lorious
Union" They desired to save it for their
own especial plundering.

Correct, MIR. Watterson.

The Republicans have only two months
left in which to carry out the will of the
people and reduce taxation and reform
the civil service. Judging from the de-
alterations of the tariff tinkerers of the
Ways and Means Committee, it is very
improbable that any bill providing for
real reduction of tariff duties will be
passed. The tariff tiukerers are con-
structing a tariff on a strictly protection
list basis, and they are working heroically
for their masters of the iron, steel, cotton
and wooden manufacturing interests, pre-
tending not to know that the people have
declared that the era of prohibitory pro-
tective policy is gone and that they will
have a tariff for revenue purposes only.

The Greenback party are hunting for
new name. The next thing we hear they
will probably be hunting for their party.
If there ever was any greenback issue
which could be developed under micrOs-
cOpic pressure, it was long since snuffed
out, and "a rose by any other name would
smell as sweet" The proposition to call
themselves the sold Whig'' party was
brilliant in the extreme. 1t would save
time to label themselves ''defunct' at
once and avoid funeral expenses.

1t is very singular that although the
same necessity for reform existed for
years that exists now, the Republican
press could see no need of it until after
tn. recent November election. They are
now thes most blatant declaimers on the
subject. and actually claim all the credit,
even for the little subterfugc of the Pen
dletOn bill. So it will be with the
other reform measures now before Con-
gress, which the Republicans are anxious
to press through during the present term,
that they may clip the wings of the Forty
eighth Congress, and enter the Presidential
campaign full fiedged reformers. There
is no shrewdness in the scheme, but a
wonderful amount of ''cheek," which
they seem convinced viii pass current
with the people as honesty of purpose.

In consequence Of a decision of the
Supreme Court that the lawful test of the
saccharine strength of sugar is the old
fashioned Dutch color standard, and not
the polaTiscope, the government has to
refund between $2,OOO,OOO and 50, 900
TO sugar importers for excess Of duties
charged. 1t is reported that one firm re-
covers $4,000 The blunder of the Treas
ury Department under eX-Secretary John
Sherman cost the people many millions in
the EXCHANGED price of sugar, for of
course the importers and domestic man.
ufacturers made buyers pay for the extra
rate of a quarter or a half cent per pOun d.
Now the importers get their money back,
the domestic manufacturers have had the
advantage of the extra protection, and
have put so much into their pockets, but
the public get no rebate.

Congressman FulkersOn, of Virginia,
who was elected as Readjuster, but was
unwilling TO follow Senator Malone into
the Republican ranks. declares that he
has never been anything but a Democrat.
He heartily favOrs the call for a State
convention of the Democratic party, ire
spective of past differences on local issues,
and thinks the convention ought to be
held by the 18th of March at the very
latest. He says the debt question is set
tied, and that the Democracy should re-
unite, reOrganize on a fair basis, and get
in fighting trim for 1884. FulkersOn's
course will render it all the more neees-
sary for Malone to thrust himself into
David Davis shoes, if possible.

PETITION FOR ALASKA.

At meeting of the Woman's Pres
byterial Home Missionary Society, Pres
bytery of Northumberland, held in
Danville, Pa, last Spring, it was resolv-
ed to petition the representatives from
the Congressional districts included
within the limits of the Presbytery, to
take some action in behalf of long neg.
lected Alaska. Several bills have been
introduced into Congress, providing foI
civil government in this distant region,
but thus far all that Congress has seem
ed to be able TO do, was to listen to a
second reading of the bills and order
them printed. In the meantime widow
burning, torture of witches, slavery OF
children, infanticide, and other horrible
practices of barbarous lands, have
been going on in this United States
possession, which has had no govern
ment, and no administration of justice
except that which the pioneer mission
aries have been able to exercise. The
Indians of Alaska are quick and eager
to learn. They beg for teachers, and
it is plainly the duty of the government
to give them the advantages of indus
trial schools like those of which the
Carlisle Training School is shining
example.
Committees have been appointed tc
circulate the petition in this town,
and it is hoped that what ever help
can be afforded noble cause by the
signature of our professional and bust
ness men will be promptly given
The following is the text of the pc
tition;
10 Me House of Representatives %
tie United States.
Your petitioners, the citizens oi
Bloomsburg and vicinity, in the state
of Pennsylvania, respectfully request
that your honorable body will pass
bill providing civil government fol
the territory of Alaska, with suitable
provisions and regulations for the pro
motion of the educational and industri
al interests Of that territory.

A Guilty Lovers Crime.
MOVING TRAIN WITH A COUP
IING.PIN

A dispatch from Catawissa dated
September Goth, gives the following ac-
count of crime
William Brobst was brought to this
place to- day to have an ugly wound in
his head dressed. The wound was
caused by Brobst being knocked off a
train by Daniel Mensinger last night.
Brobst is young farmer and has an
attractive wife and one child and lives
six miles from Ringtown. A nice farm
was left the couple by the wife's father
and she, thinking this fact left her free
to do as she pleased, fell in love with
young farmer named Daniel Mensin-
ger and no efforts were made to con
ceal their intrigue from the husband or
the neighbors. The husband was fin
ally induced to have Mensinger arrested,
but the case was settled by Mensinger
taking an oath and giving bonds not to
further disturb the happiness of the
Brobst family.
But oaths or bonds could not cool
the love of either Mensinger or the
faithless wife, and last night Mensnger
, induced the forgiving husband to ac.
company him to Brandonville on a
freight train, Brobst says that when
the train had got fairly Into deep
narrow and dangerous cut few miles
north of Rngtown, Mensinger, with
out the least warning, struck Brobst or
the head with coupling pin and knock
ed him off the cars. Brobst is very
active man and saved himself from get
ting under the train by clatching tn,
weeds growing on the side of the cu
and got off with the cut on his heaC
and few bruises. A warrant has beer
issued for Mensinger, but he has no
yet been found.
