Bountiful MiIlionaires.

PHILADELPHIA, May 8.-Within
twelve months Philadelphia has been the
recipient of three bountiful gifts from
wealthy citizens. Isaiah " Williamson,
the eccentric millionaire, who lived in
poverty while bis fortune grew, establish
ed just before his death the Williamson
Free School of Mechanical Trades, which
be endowed with about $2,500,000. The
erection of the institution has already
been begun, and large number of poor
boys will in year or so ba receiving
practical me2hanioali Instruction as well as
support free of charge.
A million dollars has been given re-
Gently by a. J. Drexel, the rich banker,
for the foundation of the Drexel Free
Institute, q great school for boys and
girls, which will be conducted on plans
Somewhat similar to those of the Cooper
Institute. Mr.. Drexel lives and his
wealth grows apace; and so it is likely
that further endowments will be contrib.
uted. The institute will give instruction
to probably one thousand scholars.
Unselfsh and liberal are the bequests
of George S. Pepper, who died few days
ago. Practically his entire fortune,
amounting to 50, 100000 OF more, is dis
tributed among fifty three of the most
deserving charities Of the city in individ.
ual amounts of from $4,000 to 100000.
The testator founds no institution to per-
petuate his name, but makes bountiful
addition to the Golfers of numerous in.
stitntions, many of them unpretentious,
but at the same time worthy of oncour
agement.-NeG York World.

LANCASTER, May 6.-There we're more
colored applicants yesterday in the office
of the supervisor of registration at this
place for certificates of registration in
cases of lost certificates of registration
than all who have applied during the
last two years. The Republicans evident.
ly are enjoying the scramble for Office
inaugurated at the March Convention,
and they are preparing for the division
in the Democratic ranks which they are
led to believe has been created by the
Shell Convention.
If the Lodge or Hoar bill on the sub.
iect of Federal elections passes Congress,
at the present session, there will likely
be great turmoil in this Stale this year.
Democrats, if they wish to hold their
representation in the Congress of the
United States, ought to be more cautious,
and stand firmly together. This little
petty contention for office in the State,
in the ranks of the Democracy, that is
now started up is most contemplate in
the face of the great danger from the rule
of ignorance with which we are now
threatened. What difference will il
make who fills the State Offices provided
we can maintain our white supremacy
and preserve the rule that we now have?
This is something upon which Our peo-,
pie ought to ponder if they expect TO-
remain free from the ais Of Republican
rule in this State, ,ghich threatened our
civilization for ten years after the war.
The survivors of the Confederate army
met here in considerable numbers to-day
to keep up a union among themselves,
which is pleasant and commendable.
There have been fine rains in this
locality, and the crops are coming up
pretty we'll. The agricultural outlook
in this county at this time is good. The
people are very industrious, and it would
be drawback to open campaign of
politics at this season of the year to
draw off their attention. Let US have
peace in the State, q prosperous crop, and
we will all be benefited. The executive
committee should conduct affairs so as
to have as little agitation as possible
ISpccial to Ne,0s and Courier.
