0X Tuesday of last week the Com
munwealth OF Pennsylvania under
went a political revolution. Gov.
Hoyt retired, and Robert Z. Pattison,
the first Democratic Governor elect
ed since the war, was inaugurated.
The Republican party that had ruled
for twenty-one years laid down the
reibs of government. and "A party
Ihat twenty two years since was dis
missed from control, again yields the
destiny of tie State. There was no
conflict, no jar, no excitement. Men
went about their business as usual.
and yet the revolution was rs COM
pletr as If il had been conducted ac-
cording to the old world plan, by
the power of the bayonet.

promises that this is To he a IRE

pie await developments with much
more curiosity than anxiety. How
the new Governor is To redeeni the
promises be has so lavishly made
with the hungry hordes of his fol-
lowers, hanging on his flank and
rear, remains TO be seen. His selec.
ton of Lewis c. Cassidy-an able
man. but a noted spokesman, and
anything but a reformer-as Attor-
ney General. has already led to dis
cord among bis party friends. and
his confirmation was bitterly resist
ed in the Senate by James O. Ken
nedy, a Democratic Senator from
Philadelphia, who denounced it as
"disreputable" and as giving the
lie to all our promises Of reform
during the last campaign" Cassidy
has openly avowed that he accepted
the position of Attorney General
only as a stepping stone to the Uni
ted States Senate, and the fact that
the Governor was aware of this
when he appointed him, clearly in
iicates the kind OF reform we may
anticipate.
1t will be of the stereotyped Dem
ocratic kind, the removal of every
Republican. employee that can be
reached and the appointment of a
Democrat in his place. OF course
Republicans cannot consistently
complain that their friends are dis
placed from position. They knew
in advance of the electson that such
would he the result of Democratic
success. All they have a right TO

In making this charge, Mr. Patti
son displays bis profound ignorance
on this subject. or deliberately at
tempts to falsify the record. The
reason why a Congressional appor-
tionment was not made at that SEES
sion was because a Democratic Con-
gress failed to pass an apportion-
ment bill. The present Congress az
soon as it met took up the subject,
and the apportionment bill became
a law on the 25th of February 1882.
Now, as the last Assembly of Penn
sylvania adjourned May lst, 1881,
we would like to know how it is to
be held responsible for not making
a Constitutional apportionment IN
der a law which was not passed un-
I'll February of the following year?

have to learn to curb his partisan
zeal. and not 90 off half cooked.

A Moving Mountain.

GENEVA. January 1S.-A great
land slip has occurred Ia the valley
OF faverges. The village of Marais
has been completely destroyed by
an enormous ma-sof earth, rock and
trees di>ludged by recent snow
storms. The movement npon Ma
rails Was gradual aud the inhabitants
were able To effect "A hasty escape.
The movement OF the mountain
still cu'.tinues.
THE valley of Faverges, the scene
OF this destructive land slip, is In
the French department of Haute
Savoie, just southwest of and near
the lake of Annecy. The whole re-
gipn Is traversed by spurs of the
Alps, the lake itself being over L.

THE Lancaster NeW Era, an "In-

exerted all its best energies for the
election of Pattison, new whiningly
says:
Governor Pattison has disappoint-
ed the expectation of many of the
friends of reform in both parties by
his appointment of Mr.. Cassidy as
Attorney General, because that gen.
tleman has not been regarded as a
representative OF the reform senti-
ment to which the Governor owes
his reputation.

does not follow out its instructions

pie In the interest of boss rule"
Since when did the editor of the

six months he discovered "Chairman

was made chairman, called a dele

nominated a ticket, and from that
lime forth waged ~unceasing warfare
against the Republican organization
and its ticket, and assisted by every
means in his power TO place Fattison
and his crew in control of the State.
Having thus voluntarily withdrawn

PattisOn's Possible Funeral.
From The Lancaster Inielllxencer, Dem.

The Governor undoubtedly takes
up a heavy burthen when he pre-.
sents Mr.. Cassidy to the people OF
the State as his adviser, especially
after Mr.. Cassidy has publicly de-
clared the Governor to be his polit-
ical pupil. But that is the Govern
or's affair chiefly. If Mr.. Cassidy
as Attorney General walks a straight
chalk, as we look to see him do, the
Governor and Mr.. Cassidy may both
be happy. Otherwise there will be a
funeral.

THE n. Y. Tribune, that was one
of the most bitter opponents of the
election of General Beaver in the
country, and that labored in season
and out of season to disrupt the Re-
publicdn organization in this State,
and thus secur the election of Pat,
%tison, under the pretext of "Reform,'
now has this to say in regard to the
garnered fruits of its labor:
Governor Pa.tison, of P~enn-ylva
nia, has demonstrated at the very
outset of his administration the i'm
possibility of being "A Reformer and
a Democrat at the same time. He
has delivered an Inaugural Address
which was full of sound and elevated
reform views and recommendations,
and he has made one appointment
which is a direct contradiction to
those admirable %utterances. During
the campaign which ended in Mr..
Patiisou's election areport WAS start
ed that if be we're chosen Governor
he would make Lewis c. Cassidy his
Attorney General. The mere sug-
gestion of such an appointment was
So damaging that Mr.. Patti-on hast
ened to deny any such intention,
aud his denial Was strengthened by
that of Mr.. Cassidy. Both men rec
oguized the fact that it would be ia
tai to Mr.. Pattison's prospects as a
reform candidate to have the voters
believe that the report was true.
This Joint denial Was %sufficien; evil

Mr.. Cassidy's political reputation.

Ii is said in defence of Governor
Pattiscn's action in appointing this
man to the responsible Office of At
torney General, that Mr.. Cassidy is
an old and dear friend and that the
Governors friendship has got the
better of his judgment. If that ex-
cuse affords the Governor any COM
fort, he is welcome to it. The aI-
pointment has spread CONSERVATION

Iious JOY among his enemies. 1t

the future. While he was running
