The Chinese still persist in maintaining
the prohibition of the expectation of cattle

Nampinh, and not from Hanoi, as stated
in the report sent from TOnquin to the

that the success of the sortie was due to
the fact that half the garrison was secretly
conveyed in junks and took the enemy in
the rear by surprise.

The judiciary apportio nment BIZ
received just the number of votes
necessary to pass it in the Senate. 1t
had Republican and Democratic suppcrl
and Republicans and Democrats voted
against it. Among those supporting it
were good lawyers, and it is to be pre-
sumed that they had faith in the consti-
tutionality of all its provisions which
leads us to say that a constitution that
can have its plain injunction SO diversely
construed by intelligent legislators
is not of very great value as a
restricting force upon them. Tha,
constitution of ours is as clearly
expressed as constitutions generally can
hope to be made yet the governor
during this session las not been able to
read it with tie eyes of the Legislature
and has repeatedly vetoed its bills be
cause of their unconstitutionality. How
this present measure will strike him we
will not venture to say, because the cor
respondents declare that he intends
approving it. If he does he will neces
sarily endorse its constitutionality.
In our judgment it is not in
accord with the constitution but
in view of the contrary expires.
sions OF opinion on this subject
it is necessary to concede that it is
one upon which two opinions may be
held. The governor will have the con
clnsionS of Democratic members of the
Legislature to sustain him, whatever side
he takes, and can give the construction
of the constitution an entirely non.
partisan consideration. In his position
he will have to bear the brunt of the
criticism which his conclusions and
arguments will receive from the public,
and we hope that he will be able to make
them sound and lid. If he can dis
cover how county may be made
judicial district when it has less than
10000 population be will get over the
plainest stumbling block in the way of
finding this legislative appOrtionment to
be constitutional and if the thing can
be done We shall be glad to see its dem
onstration. AS it would be an interesting
feat of words and figures These iustru.
mentalities can be made TO do a good
deal in ,skilful hands, we know, but
there must be vast deal of color blind
ness in an audience which will permit
itself to be persuaded that white is black
The reason which the correspondents
give for their belief that the governor
will approve the judicial apportionment
is that he desires to have some fruit to
show for the extra session but such
very poor fruit as a judiciary bill which
adds a half dozen judges to the already
too numerous corps, and makes districts
as the constitution never intended them
to be made, had better be left ungath
cred it will not pay to take il home, we
fear.

The various and variegated statesmen

drick's proclaimed the convalescence of
his toe and the rejuvenatlon of the old
ticket. And now arises the tall sycamore
of the Wabash to excite a suspicion that
he is after the presidential nomination.
Mr.. Holman has scarcely begun to be
mentioned as promising candidate
before it is announced that Landers
is Just waiting for his scalp" Altogether
things are not lovely. Statesmen and
presidential timber like corn grow rank
in Indiana. The crop is too abundant
to be duly appreciated. Aud, by the way,
it was this sort of business that lost the
Democrats Indiana last fall. Mr..
Mcdonald and Mr.. Hendricks and Mr..
English had kind of monkey and
parrot time all through the campaign,
and but for that even Dorsey's benificent
shower of two hundred thousand two
dollar bills would not have availed to
carry the state against the Democrats.
They have been keeping it up ever since.
The New York and Ohio Democracy
show signs of greater prudence and more
disposition to harmony. In Pennsylvania
the red lines are erased and fractional
spirit has been quieted. The Democracy
here having carried their state last fall
are preparing to do it again they will
participate in making presidential
nomination after that. There will be
time enough.

To morrow afternoon tho Hunters, of
Pittsburgh, play the Ironsides on their
grounds. The Hunters are said to be a

the Harrisburg Patriot from York, con-
cerniug the game there yesterday, does not
dispel the impression: "The Hunter
club, of Pittsburgh, played a game of
base ball with the York city nine. A large
crowd was present. The Hunters played
a fine game in the field aud did some
wondrous batting, being blanked in only
two innings. The home nine did little
hitting against the effective pitching and
were demoralized in the field by the heavy
batting of the visitors" The dispatch
gives the score as "a to in favor of the

An Unreliable Land.

Ischia is a land to be forever hereafter
avoided, one would think. Certainly no
residence more unsatisfactory could be
conceived than one where the land sub
sides under the feet, and topples its
buildings over. Seemingly, however,
people can get used to even this state of
affairs. Ischia has been known to be an
unreliable land, and has before now
suffered from earthquakes. But they
do not come every year and the inhabi-
tants have demonstrated that they are
willing to take the risks. But this time
the catastrophe is so appalling that
it will take a very courageous man
to cling to his Ischia fig trees.
1t may, however, be possible that
earthquakes may be enjoyed by some
people. Certainly earthquake countries
are not generally deserted when their
peculiar unreliability has demonstrated
itself. There may be pleasurable ex
citement in expecting to be swallowed
up at some uncertain period in the dis.
tant future. Or earthquake lands may
have some compensating advantages not
elsewhere found just as the ague dis.
tricts along the Carolina coast are cher
ished by the Inhabitants, because, as one
of them told us once, when you have the
ague you do not have any other disease.
Ischia may be a particularly healthy
country when the earthquakes are not
around, and if the average mortality for
a hundred years is not high, residence
in this unstable land may be logically
defended. Upon the whole, however, we
prefer country where death and burial
are not simultaneous. Such a method
f fnal disposition is too unceremonious
o be agreeable to the average taste.

New Clews which are ssid 10 Point to
Harvey, the 6ulcade.
Renewed interest has been awakened in
NOrristown and the surrounding country
in the mysterious murder of Samuel Clug-
ston, at Valley Forge, by an investigation
the police are pursuing. The authorities
claim to be in tho possession of clews
pointing to Alfred Harvey, the recent
suicide, as the Clugston murderer. The
coat, vest, hat, Overcoat aud shoes left
behind in Clugston's house on the fatal
night in March, 1881, and which are kept
in Al5urtsOn's bank tor safe keeping, form
the material upon which the revival OF this
celebrated case hinges. 1t is believed that
the clothing could be identified az having
been worn by Harvey previous TO the
Clugston murder, or by boarder in his
house who is now in Pittsburgh.
One gentleman of prominence considers
the clews Of great importance. The cloth
ing, he says, has been almost completely
identified by men Who worked with Har
vey at the Star glass works. Among the
articles dropped by the murderer was a
photograph of little girl, marked with
the name MRS. Jones" and the address of
house on Lafayette street. At the time
the PinkertOn detectives were unable to fiBd
any such person in NorristOwn and the ad.
dress was supposed to be Lafayette street,
Baltimore. It has since been found, the
gentleman says, that there was woman
of the name on Lafayette street, Norris
town, whom the detectives failed to find.
She is no longer in the borough, but it is
said that the photograph is an excellent
likeness of girl on Lafay cite street.
1t is also said that the coat belonged to
a glass worker who boarded with Harvey
at the time of the murder, aud that Har
vey borrowed it q few days before the
crime was committed.
A pawn ticket for watch, dropped by
the murderer, is said to have been taken
for watch, which eau be traced to the
possession of Harvey, about nine days be.
fore the murder. Chief of Police Roden-
baugh is very lukewarm and reticent about
the new clews, and says that the identifi
cation of the clothing has not been any
more complete than on former occasion 8,
when it was supposed to have been
identified as that OF John Spellman. The
clothing has been shown to Mrs. Harvey,
and says that neither her husband nor any
of his boarders ever owned such a coat as
the one shown her. 1t is claimed that the
English accent of Harvey would have led
to his detection long ago.
