A bill is now pending before the Legislature to establish in cities of the nrst-claas a De partment of Public Safety, to which the Police and Fire Departments shall bo made subject. The promoters of the measure provide that the new Department a hall be presided orer bv a Board of five Commi-vtionen, who ah all hare plenary power to appoint employes and regulate affairs generally.

The expenses ol the Department, the bill aaya, are to be defrayed out of tho licen fctrs paid by the liquor-dealer. The measure looks rery much like a aecond-claaa war measure. Pennsylvania Kepublicaas ae-em rery anxious to hare a row of some kind or other, and are determined to be prepared for it.

Of the composition and temper of the Grand Commiaaion can now judge with aocne accuracy. Nothing would induce Mr Mobto to help to decide that Tildk and lisxpairas hare been elected.

If not trick, la the bill that permitted any doubt aa to its power to "go behind the returns." For what was tha Commla aion created? If there was no power anywhere to scrutinize the papers purporting to be Electoral rotes, this bill is a mockery. The Commission was Iected for no other purpose than to ro behind the returns in States whence more than one return should be sent. The equivocal phrase in the bill to the effect that tha Commission should hare all the powers "if any," posse aeed by the Congreas in the determining of the rotes, is not proof of the entire sincerity of the bilL But the Commission ia empowered by the bill to decide all questions relating to the rotes of disputed States and how can this be done without going behind the rV turns? To decide the which the bill commands the Commis sion to determine to behind the returns. The Commission can not obey the bill without looking beyond the certificates from the States that end more than one return. The Tribunal has no other errand, no other excuse for its existence.

Who will be msd enough to assert that this high Board shall decide between two sets of certificate without an examination of either? But examining is going behind the returns. CAE THX C0XKIMI0H DO ABTT THUG! The New York Krmiiu Putt i Kep. that favored the Counting Bill, noticing amendments offered in the Senate, savs "Tha moat Important ona waa offered by Senator Ditu. and provided that nothing ahouM be cod aldrrrd by lha Commlaiown 'watch bad (or lu tjrrt lo dUpota or draw Into (juration the number of vutra firm (or an KJctor In any of lha ft tea, or lt fart wbtsr any drclftt waa chosen by a majority of the to tea of hla 6tatc' The plain par- pus of IhU amaodmaot waa to prarenl the Com laloom from 'rilnj behind the rttnmi' There rron to belle-re that they will CO behind lha bCl dosa not empower them lo do ao.

whether a member of Cuia' sal or a private dUiaa. In forming an opinion on the quealloo." When the Pott says the bill does not empower the Commissioners to go behind the returns, and then adds that it simply leaves them to take into account all the considerations which, consistently with the Constitution and the laws, msy be taken into account by any body in form ing an opinion on the subject, there is either confusion of expression or inconsistency of ideaa The first position assumed by the Posf restricts the Commissioners within rery narrow limits; the second allows them a latitude consistent with the great object sought to be reached by the paaaage of the bill, vis. to get at the true and honest rote of the people in the disputed States. This Latter can not be sccomplisbed if no inquiry can be made by the Commissioners beyond the (ace of the la turn a or certificate. Of course tne bill uoes permit examination by the Commissioners beyond the face of a certificate.

By reference to the second section we find authority lor our belief. We read "That If mora than one return, or paper purport Inf to ba a rKarn. (rum a Btate shall have been re ceived by the President of the Senate purporting to be the eerttflemtea of Electoral votes given at the lae preceding election (or President and Vice- President In such Stale, unless tbey ahsil be dupll rates of the sum return, all ruca returns and papers shell be opened by him in the presence of the two nooses when met as aforesaid, and read by lha tellers, and all ruch returns and papers shall thereupon be submitted to the Judrmrat and de cision, as to wrA it tnt trttt and Anssi JPecioral soar a isra SUUe. of a Commission," that were all there might be some doubt as to whether the Commissioners could look beyond a return, and paper purporting to be a return, from a disputed State. But the bill, after referring to objections to the counting of a particular re turn, proceeds VTben all such objections ao made lo any oertlfl rale, rota or paper from a State ahall hare been received and read, all such rertlBoate, votes and pa pers ao objeecad to.

What ia meant by "petitions," "depositions" snd "other papers," if the Commissioner are not to go behind the certificate, or return, ol a disputed State? What part are they to play in the inreatigatioa, unless to show that what purports to be the regular return from a disputed State ia a fraod, and not the tree and lawfal Electoral rote ol such State? The rery terms ol the bill forbid the narrow riew which the Post has taken, in its first assumption, of the powers of the Commis sioner, sad plainly assert that the Cora- mieaiooer aaa take into account "all the coriderations which, consistently with tha Constitution and tha law, may be taken into acooaat by aay body, whether charged with aay duty about the counting or not, whether a member of Congress or a prints rilTran, la forming aa opinion on tha question-" A ZlXlTa C-TXS T7XfcO ta a village not a bond red salles trrjaM Kew York raiied II oatingtoo.

Now another awnaataon baa occurred there recently, aboot 'Which the pious people ol this Huntington town hare appeared to be extremely shocked.

It waa a ludicrous and laughable occur rence, which may be said to bare a moral attached to it It waa on New-Year's night that a regular old Down-East watch-meeting was in progress. Many of the old people went there to pray and sing, and many oi the young to watch, see and be seen, and others, we should judge, went to hare some fan. There are often indecorous scenes witnessed at such gath erings, and will be till the end ol time. But some of the younger people, without the fear of God before their eyes, amused themse) res while the venerable deacons and sisters were watching, praying and singing the old songs, by coughing, laugh ing, whispering and making odd remarks snd grimaces, much to their own edification, but to the extreme annoyance of the pious folk a The real fun began, however, when an old sea-captain named II abky Sastxis, and who had been a bad one in his day, began to exhort, and in language that sounded like a small earthquake, coupled with pantominic gestures that would do credit to Humpty-Dumpty Fox, said, "Brethren, I've got the devil under my foot!" This was accompanied by a heavy stamp of the foot, which was echoed in various parts of the church, tho sound reminding one of a regiment of cavalry horses on a stampede across a bridge. Some one responded to Deacon Sammls, and said, after he uttered the exclamation noted above "Hold him, Harry, old boy.

If you and the devil were in a ten-acre lot together, he'd knock out of you!" Then the climax was reached, for the uproar following made every body forget that New-1 ear 8 day was aIout to dawn, and caused many of the old deacons and deaconesses later on to go home looking far from sanctimonious. A lawyer was afterward en gaged to bull-doze the ungodly broth ers and sisters who behaved so badly at the nieetiug into apologising for their conduct, or compel them to stand the brunt of legal proceedings. A good many did so under pro test, but many declared that nobody could soberly witness the ridiculous per formances of the brethren. A lady de clared that "nothing animate or intelligent enough to appreciate a piece of humor oould have resisted an expression of mer riment st some of the antics of the en thusiastic brethren." It is said that several who refuse to apologire are likely to escape legal punishment as well, it is charged that the church lawyer collected funds as well as extorted apologies from the offending brethren, thus usurping tho functions of a Justice of the Peace, and he, himself, is about to get into snorl in consequence. A New Orleans correspondent of the New York HoWd sheds some light upon the character of the report made by Johk Shkbkan to the President on Louisi ana ma tiers, wnicn was Dy tne President transmitted to the Senate, and by that body printed as Ex ecutive Document No.

2. The report contains, among others, two affidavits from Tangipahoa Parish. One is from O. M. KuscrtEK, Supervisor, who swore that "The house of John Willi a its was visited by a party ot men in disguise during Lha month of No vember, just previous to the election of November 7.

1874. The doors were broken open, and the said William was taken out and bull-doaed. that la. severely whipped. I saw him the next day, and lo my certain knowledge he was severely whipped." The other affidavit was made by one E.

Simson, who swore that to his "Own knowledge the house of Hcasr Smith was burned, and himself and family forced to seek safety by hiding tn the woods for several days." It was proved before, the Congressional Committee by official documents and records that, at the very time those witnesses swore those outrages oc curred, the bull-dozed parties, Will iams and Smith were, quietly repos ing in the Penitentisry at Baton Rouge. The testimony to the perjury was so overwhelming that the Republican portion of the Congressional Committee did not venture to produce Kinchem and Simso.x to support their affidavits. The Shermax report is full of just such affidavits. The Whisky Ring flurry, which was expected to lift Ben Bars-row into a nomination for the Presidency, has about petered out. The Si.

Louis Republican thus sums up All the Whisky Ring convicts have been turned loose bat one Joyce and he will be turned loose in a few days; and all the officials wbo in any way amis ted to bring the convicts to Justice have been dismissed from offioa. For both these wretched works are Indebted to a Republican President Indorsed by the Republican party." A mr set of contestants hare begun proceedings, through counsel, to obtain a share ot the property left by the deceased New York merchant, A. T. Stiwabt. Tha claimants are tha Baa let family, ol Magheroyal, near Llsburn, In the County of Antrim, Ire-lend, one of whom makes affidavit that he "was a first coaaiu of the full blood, and one of the bairs-at-law and next kin of A lex amoks Tuaaarr Srswaar," hia mother, "Jabs Bbslxt being a lawfal sister" of the deceased merchant.

Tars New York Strold, with Its accustomed enterprise, has been for months exposing the nefarious practices of the keepers of public asylums and prisons in their treatment ol inmatea The expose in more than one instance has resulted in good. Bat a recent story, which occupies a large space in the Herald, sounds rather too improbable to be seriously credited. We are told that Euxa beth Mast Sakxat was born in Mulberry street, New York, in 1827. and was married in lot! to her cousin.

Loan Goudok Keith, a United States naval officer. On the death of her husband she remained in Baltimore under the care of her cousin, Archbishop EooLESTOv, who placed her in supervision of St Vincent's Asylum for Orphans, on First street, in that city. A year later, we are told, Mrs. Keith and an infant daughter were kidnaped, and conducted by one Lo vac aow to the Mount Hope Lunatic Asylum, where the mother was forcibly detained for seven years, being mourned as dead by her relative. She finally regained her liberty, through the influence of Archbishop Kejtdbjce, and returned to her father-in New York City.

Mrs. Keith was subsequently kidnaped in Williamsburg, Virginia, and next confined in a lunatic asylum for eighteen years, and was finally liberated by a Military Commission designated by General Haitcock. She was soon after restored to her brother, R. Selbt Sahxat, who had been informed of her existence. The lady is now said to reside in East Twenty-eighth street, New York City.

The Herald article would evidently convey the idea that the lady who is said to have undergone this terrible experience was sane, but was confined iu an insane asylum for some purpose or other that may be imagined. The story is indeed a sfrange one, and the sequel to it would be of interest Ir the statement of the Washington (D. C. Xation is correct, the burning of a school-house in that city, recently, develops the fact that a large lour-story structure was con structed without a single brick partition- wall, with narrow, badly arranged staircases. and yet devoted to the purpose of a children's school.

The building, happily, was destroyed when unoccupied. There are nu merous other buildings in Washington quite as dangerous. The Xation asserts that there is not a single fire-proof building in the whole city, and some of the best are simply fire-traps. Money was appropriated lavishly to erect school-houses in Washington. Dishonest officials and shoddy contractors were made rich with the money which should have been appropriated in the erection ol safe school buildings.

Ma Jenhuos, in a postscript to one of his London letters to the New York World, throws a little more light on the journalistic scandal which Is now troubling the British metro polia He say "I may add a word or two In reference to that 'journalistic scandal' which I mentioned last week, although It la probable that the particulars may have already reached you. 1 he ipeeial correspondent' who Is said to have received 00 from the Nasrab Naalm Is Dr. W.

This is what I am told. Of my own knowledge I am unable to tell you any thing whatever about the business." A most remarkable temperance revival has been in progress in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and vicinity during the past few weeks.

A Mr. MitrHr ia the cold-water champion. In many respects he resembles a second Moodt, though he does not preach to the more for tunate and wealthier classes ol the com ruunity. He goes among the lowly in the by-ways and alleys of the city and surround ing villages, and practices genuine charity in his dealings with them. Upward of forty-thousand people have been induced, through Mr.

Mcrtht's efforts, to abandon the use of alcohol in and around Pittsburg. It is thought that his labors will have a very beneficial effect upon the community wherein he as prosecuted his crusade. Theee is great reverence for the Constitution in Akron, Ohio. The editor of the Beacon is suffering severely on account of recent infractions of the great compact. He tearfully observes; "We agree with the Cincinnati Gnvrfte that it would be better for the country to risk a term of Tiltien without the Compromise than to bare such a scheme in the statutes.

Our objection is not to the possible results of the arbitration, but to the usurpation by Congress which it involves." The taxable property ol New York State, real and personal, is said to be $2,700,000,000, or a little more than our National debt was a few years ago. Nearly half of this, or is assessed in New York City and Brooklyn. The St Louis Timet makes a little proposition to betting men, to-wit: "Fir to ona that Ohio elects a Democratic Gov ernor at the next tarn of the wheel. Two to one that aha does it easily."

"JACK THE eiAST-KILLEX" The Little and Bis at the Or Opera. Heaae. Higher even than Jack of fragrant bean-stalk memory in the minds of extremely youthful hero worshipers stands Jack, the slayer of Giants. The conceit, therefore, which produced the Lillputian Burlesque Company, now at the Grand Opera, house, and gave them their play, if it may be so-called, of Jack, tne Qiant-Killer, waa exquUi te. Of course it was impossible to realise the Imaginations of the nursery to hare "Jack" aa small as the poet has pictured the "Culprit Fay," or "Fin Maboon" mountain high, but the next best thing was done.

Ruth Goshen, a veritable giant, so far as humanity can boast of such an indl nauai, was engaged, ana around him were gathered Commodore Nutt, Miss Jennie Quigley. and other famous dwarfs, or rather "little people, for, in reality, they are dwarfs only in name, th Commodore being more properly a low comedian of no mean attainments in action, song or dance while Miss Quigley is a finished little actress, perfect in figure, pretty of face, and graceful in movement Her voice is clear and under good control, and in her dances the would make many a professed prima danteute blush. Her twenty-eight inches reached as high as the heart of every person in the house. and grown men envied the giant and the giant- killer alike in their flirtations with the mldgeL The text of the operetta or extravaganza is in Engliah rhyme and some of it very clever. The plot is crude, but preserves some of the incidents of the immortal original story, while it serves to introduce the little folks in their specialties, among the most warmly appreciated of which, last evening, were Miss Qnigley's song, "The birds were singing." and bar pas de 9eui; and the Commodore's "Drunk Again," admirably sung and acted, and the "High land Fling" of pretty Mis Ella Klrtland.

Upon the Commodore falls the burden of the dramatic action, and he acq aiu himself like a veteran. The cast was as follows, and gives us an idea of the scope of the performance: Jack, the Giant Killer, SO Inches high, weight S3 pounds, aire 32 years, commodore utL Fin Ma Coon, the Giant. 7 feet 2 inches high, weight ouu pounds, age nity rears, uoionei uosnen. Arthur. English Embassador, S8 inches high, weight pounds, age it years, Mia Ella Klrtland.

The concert music and dance were fair. Th tone of the work Is good ou the whole, and winds np pllessantly, "Fin MaCoon" not being killed after all, but put under enormous bonds not to eat any more boys or girls, and to be their ally In the future.

The veterans of "The Lytle Grey," our crack military organization, gave a social reception at their Armory, the finest in the State, last evening. It was worthy of the name they bear: of the man who was at ouce soldier, statesman, gentleman, orator and poet: whose "Dying, Egypt, dying" has made its mark upon the literature of the land, and who sang, as lf prophetic of last night's reunion: "For we love our blue-eyed Leyden girls.

On the other hand, we dry goods clerks are invariably made fun of, ridiculed by negro minstrels and spoken lightly of by writers of fiction.
