PAXS03T OX STASTOBT. The Pa uli case, created a good deal of interest! here and in Scranton while on -trial, by reason of the outrageous conduct of Judge Stanton who was then on the bench, has tat.

last been in the Supreme Court. In rendering thejopin-ion of the Court; Justice Paxson tobk occasion to dwell in the most scathing terms "on the manner in which the case was tried by We refer to this now for the purpose of showing that the strictures of the Record in discussing the trial were proper and justifiable; fit required fid legal 'acu men to detect either criminal menda city or utterly unpardonable ignorance in the conduct of Stanton While sitting as Judge in the trial of Pa nil. No Judge of an inferior court ever received such a rebuke from a superior tribunal as is hurled at Stanton's head by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania iu its decision of the Pa uli case. That it is merited no one can doubt. And it furnishes another cause for congratu lation that the combination of stupid ity, ignorance and mendacity, called W.

H. Stanton, no longer disgraces our judiciary. Not only the people of this judicial district have cause for rejoicing, but every member -or Pennsylvania Judiciary will feel grateful that, this blotch has been re moved. There can not possibly be any danger that the threat of Stanton that he will be elected to the bench of Lackawauua county will be realized. Even his blindest dupe ought to have his eyes opened by this time.

ASOTUEBDEFAVLTUt. Another good man has gone wrong." This time il is the treasurer of a Massachusetts 'savings' bank who has for several years past been appropriating the money of 'the institution to his own' usei directors had such unlimited confidence in their treasurer's integrity that they did not deem It worth while eyer! to examine the books or affairs of the bank to see how things were This model official had not only been turning the securities held by the bank as collaterals to his own use, but had received some ten thousand dollars deposits which he kept and credited to the depositors on the books of the bank. The Teal responsibility for. nine-tenths of. these defalcations by bank officials rests upon the boards of directors "of the fleeced and sooner or later perhaps a ease will occur when the.

stockholders and depositors will seek redress, in the proper direction. Every bank has Its directors to whom' 1 is entrusted the management and oversight, of the interests of all concerned." It is5 only too apparent that 'yery many cases the directors of 'banks word of 'the president or cashier for it that everything is going all th6' really know ppthing more about) it from act- ual knowledge than if they had no official 'connection with the 'Institution. The first intimation that they have been neglecting an important1 trust When a trusted ofBcial's embezzlement or defalcation becomes so large that it ean no longer be concealed. "Then come-' consternation and alarm.1' The Massachusetts case is. only another illustration of this fact.

Mr. Hayes baa the commendable habit or private! consulting men with a view to their ac ceptance before appointing them to otSce. and' it fai-i therefore sumed that he bad assurance from Mr: White that he would not decline the place before the appointment was an nounced. How little influence the managing politicians have to matters of appointment to office by the Presi dent is shown in: the fact that Mr, White has not been urged by any one for the Berlin mission, so far- as the ouhlie know. The Senate will net be likely to delay the confirmation of Mr.

White, as no objection can possibly be urged against him. A TBI 9UOCBATIC PACTIOM. The Randall wing of the Democratic party of this State are exceedingly active and aggressive. They have put forward Mr. Daniel O.

Barr, of Pittsburgh, as! their candidate for State Treasurer, and are defying Senator Wallace and his faction to beat him if they can. Mr. James Barr, editor of the Pittsburgh Post, and brother of Daniel, some time ago declared open war on Mr. Wallace, and after, that the candidacy of any member of the Barr family was equivalent to a challenge, and it was supposed that Mr. Wallace would so regard it.

Had Mr. Randall been defeated for Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Wallace's su premacy would scarcely have been dis puted in. Pennsylvania Democracy. The Randall faction would have sank into insignificance, bnt Randall's success has reversed things, hence the aggressiveness of the Barr family and' their adherents.

They are so jubilant that they, are not content with declaring their purpose to cap ture and control the next Democratic State convention, but are also already serving notice on Mr. Wallace that he cannot return to the United. States Senate in 1881, even if the Democrats should succeed in carrying the legisla ture next- year. The war of factions is thus early being carried to very. ex treme lengths.

In view of the fact that the Democrats have virtually no prospect whatever of electing the State Treasurer this year, or of securing a majority, in the next legislatnre, it would appear to be a little premature for the Randall: and Wallace factions to begin taking the bowels out of each other. Mr; as a matter of course, will not surrender, bis grip on the organization of Pennsylvania Democracy without a His wing of the party have for years been supreme in the conventions and have run the campaigns in their own way. The fact that defeat has almost invariably) followed his management has caused wonder that Mr. Wallace was not deposed long since. As chair man of the Democratic State Commit tee he lost campaign after campaign and the very election that carried Mr.

Wallace into the United States Senate was managed by his opponents, Mr. Wallace snatching the fruits of the victory that belonged to others. Last year's campaign was another illustration of Mr, Wallace's general incapacity as a party manager. This was first, in alienating a large portion of his party in the State convention by arrogance and inconsi d- erate treatment of all interests except his own; second; composing the ticket entirely of his own personal friends and adherents third, by placing the man agement of the campaign into the hands of an incompetent braggart like Milton Speer, who had been repudiated by his party in his own district and, fourth, by cowardice in failing to as sume a positive position on the im portant issues before the country. It is not surprising the Democrats Of Pennsylvania should have become tired of such management; and de sire to try the other- faction for a season.

'Mr. Randall and his friends will probably not be able to carry this State for Some years to come, but they would certainly riot do as badly as the Wal lace taction- haye done, -While this fight goes on the Republicans, acting harmoniously and unitedly; will quiet ly decide oa thtf most acceptable can didates and when the proper time comes elept them, fHS TiEMLOCBATIC PKOOKAMMB. j.ne ena or the Democratic caucus- ingi at Washington, was reached-on Wednesday evening1, Speaker Jtandall having come in to give bis hearty en dorsement to the programme, and ex pressing tne 1 conviction that not a single Democrat would be found kick ing over the traces. One is constrain ed to wonder that so much discussion. so many.caucuses,ana such prolonged aen Deration were necessary to agree upon a policy to which no "good Dem ocrat" at any time raised the slightest objection.

After all that has been said and done, the. 'programme is substantially the same as was an nounced by Senator Beck before the last Congress It is a very simple, policy and eminently, we might say characteristically Democratic in its details. The army appropriation bill, Which was5 Introduced' yesterday in ODemence to, the caucus decree, is identical with that which': passed the ast House and failed In the. Senate. 1 appropriates the' necessary amount to defray the expenses of our' military establishment, and has added to it a claaM prohibiting the presence of troops at the polls.

There will, it is presumed, be no controversy between the- President and Congress on this bill, as it is understood -that Mr. Hayes Is not to the latter clause. During the few years there has been a vast amount of talk about elections being influenced and voters by bayonets, but there has been very little cause for In. a few instances trqops have been placed near enough to polling places to gite confidence to timid voters in the exercise of their but there not in stance' on record --where Voters have been Angered with by troops or were mamiohK tnelr presence The other Appropriation bUl to be passed, Jtnowjh as the legislative, ex ecutlye anc judicial bill, Is to be bur dened with 1 more objectionable legisla tion.

These petitions conclude with the prayer to the House "to make the proper investigations at once; and that articles of impeachment may as speedily as possible be The first one is beaded with the names of James O'Kane, and John Q.

miner's resolutions. Following are the remarks made by Hon. Chas A. Miner in support of his resulutions with reference to a survey of the Anthracite coal region. Mr.

Speaker, the object of thl resolution Is chiefly to call the attention of the Legislature and the people to the deplorable condition of the anthracite coal trade, and to ascertain if there la any way to prevent the great waste of this moat valuable fuel, stored In the earth by a kind Providence, for the use of our children and those who are to come after us, as well, as ourselves. Nearly all the anthracite of the State is now controlled by half a doaen large mining and transportation companies, who, on account of a ruinous competition among themselves, are mining their coal In such a manner, and selling It for such a price, as If persisted In must bring financial ruin their stockholder! and distress to the miners and laborers employed by them, The great waste In the manner of mining, and the rapid exhaustion of coal, are booome- ing questions of anxiety to many persons interested in the anthracite counties who are acquainted with the facts. AJ1 the accessible anthracite coal is In our own State ana Is less than four hundred sauare milea in extent, and when once removed lj gone forever. These, 1 think, are Important facts, and it would seem that this valuable deposit snouid be carefully husbanded in stead of being recklessly wasted and thrown away, as is the custom now. The JSnaUsh government la watching with Jeal ous eye the rapid depletion of their coal beds, and close calculations are belnff made as to their nrobabla CAUB.UBUUU, aa mey wen anow mac 1.

1 1 ineir prosperity as a manufacturing nation has been due In a great measure to the aounaance or ineir fuel. Undoubtedly, the supply of bituminous coal In our coun try la almost exhauntipaa. hut iha anthra cite is limited, and as we have about all there is, it seems to me that Its protection irom wanton uestrucuon is worthy the consideration 01 the fctato authorities. Al ready the best velna are half exhausted, thousands of tons being thrown away annually, because the prices obtained for It will not warrant the. emnlovment of laimr 10 uetacu aiiKut seams 01 aiate wnicn cling to the beet Qualities of the eoal.

Themia also great waste in breaking and preparing the coal for market, large quantities of the 1 purest auu dcsi 01 it going into tne culm piles, wiucn surround and almost overtop the breakers at every colliery, I do not know that there la any remedy for thl latter evil, but It might be reached by the inquiry proviaea ior Dy in ia resolution. Under the present situation labor ia compelled to accept employment at almost any wages offered, from the fact that operators are not able to, pay them a fair price for a days' work on account of the depressed condition of their business. Employer and employee are equally interested in this matter, for relief to one would be a relief to the other. I do not know that It within the power or province of this nejrisiaiure to grant relief to this verv Im portantbut unfortunate Industrial inter- ess, nut i assure you, air, It should by any means be able to direct tins now aepressea tnuio Into the right channel to save it from the breakers ahead, and to protect their most valuable mineral deposit of the State from unneeeaaary waste aud destruction, it would be entitled the tatting gratitude of everybody con-nected with or interested in the mining of uu 1,111 ocimj hnu, rum me president 01 llie corporation conducting the buaineas to tlie muie-anver in ine-mines.

EXTESalTE STRIKE. The miners In the bituminous region of the Monongahela valley are now engaged in a general strike. This trouble has been brewing for some time. Originally the strike was con fined to a comparatively limited section, but so active were the strikers that theyr soon reached other mines until the suspension became almost universal throughout the valley. The men at the coke works have also been induced, either by persuasion or fear, to join in the Btrike and thus about four thousand more are added to the army of the voluntarily idle.

The tactics of the leaders in this move ment are peculiar. They sather to gether a body of their followers and then march to the neighborhood of such works as are. still in operation There they go into camp, and remain until work ceases, the men being eith er induced by argument; or moved by' ingenious threats to join in the strike. Up to last night no actual overt act. had been1, committed, the strikers being shrewd enough to keep within the bounds, of law, but they seem to be.

accomplishing the same results that have usually been attained by violence. This outbreak; among the miners at this time is exceedingly unfortunate if it should result in protracted suspension of operations in the bituminous regions, as the demand for that species of coal was expected to be more than usually brisk during the next few months. The result of the late trials of a large' number 1 of rioting strikers iu Washington 'county is having a wholesome effect on the men now but-in' the Monongahela valley.

Major Walsh informs our government that the great Sioux chief is showing a dangerous and unmanagable disposition. lie has now nearly three thousand thoroughly armed and equipped warriors, and the British officers apprehend that as soon as Spring opens Sitting Bull will make a raid. In full force, across the border. With this information in its posses, sion thus early there will be no excuse for the authorities at Washington if the consequences of such a raid are not averted by timely and comprehen sive precautionary measures.
