The political situation at the Cap.
itaI,lfemains unchanged.
Il has been the misfortune of the
Democrztic party. in this State, in
the last two Legislatures, 70 be rep
resented by too-mapy great ca men.
They talk Democracy, aud act
anytling.but. Democracy. Ifthey
were acquainted with the first prins
efpIes ct the party theyinsisrspfesent
and were willing to be governed by
it. as all good Democrats are John
Z. Keaaa would long ago have been
elected Uaited States Senator, and
the.BegisIature could have engaged
more earnestly in much needed leg
islation.
These great men % who stand
ont against tie expressed will of the
majority of the Democratic mem
bers, should either halt or quit
avowing their Democracy; and the
party in this State should look to it,
that in the next election cranks are
left at home.
Men, who for a little newspaper
notoriety, will, impoyerish and
strand the hopes and future success
to-olr party. are notrthe legitimate
offspring of Iycurgis.
The. election of two or three such
to the present Legislature, is likely
to cause the useless expenditure of
4 large amount of the peoples mo-
ney by their standing aloof from CO.
operation with the majority of the
Democratic members, thereby de-
laying the business. of the session,
and in the end murder the party
that was unthoughted enough to
elect them.
Let the majority rule, and harmo-
ny prevail, in the Democratic house
hold, and the party VIII gather
fresh courage and renew the strength
of its early life in this State. But
if the Ineonsiderate and foolish
course of one or two members OF
the House is to be persisted in, the
party will loose its life, all for hay
ing honored one or two, ambitious,
unIearnad local politicians by an
election to this body.

The indications are that the Leg
islature is disposed to be liberal to
the schools of the State. The re-
quest of the University and the
Normal Schools are not extravaganza
and should be granted. An appro,
Priation sufficiently large should be
made to enable those schools to dc
the best work. The Agricultural
Experimental Station should be
literally equipped. The farmers
demand this at the hand of the
Legislature. LiberaIity in these
directions will to a great extent
lessen the blame for so much lost
time

An old man named Alexander
Squires called at the Philadelphia
mint few days ago, and called for
S2,201 due him, for deposit of gold
dust made in 1855. The authorities,
taking him for a crank, put him out
of the building, but he persisted in
his claim until they finally examin-
ed their books, and found deposit
of that amount credited to him. He
held a receipt for it but it had so
faded so as TO be illegible, and he
was told that it would be necessary
for him to get some acquaintance to
identify him. The only person he
could call to mind was Henry ].
Waldo, of Wheeling, and going
there he found him without much
difficulty. OF course he will get his
money,if he has not already gotten it.
