These exhaustive campaigns cannot long endure, ior fraud, violence and money must increase on both sides with every important battle, and how long will there be submission to the rule of such elements? The time must speedily come when it will be cheaper to meet fraud with revolution than with fraud, and thence the step to anarchy is a short one. These are considerations which should have controlling weight with all judicial officers in enforcing the laws, and they should make business men and upright citizens of all parties inexorably demand the overthrow of corruption and fraud, no matter what party may profit by it Fraud and freedom are implacable foes, and they cannot reign in the same Republie.

that bis church was sow so happy and prosperous that it wanted to make a thank offering and a peace offering. Then be laid on the moderator's table bis treasarer's check for tie amount which bad been in dispute. For a moment there was a solemn hash. Foes were eonloundcd and friends were amazed. In another moment the church resounded with applause from the heavy heels of the approving brethren, which applause was of course promptly 'checked.

By a vote which was at once taken the whole matter was permanently laid on the table. It might have been supposed that this would have finished the business but, alas it was otherwise. A number of the opposition brethren bad brought papers expressive of the sentiments of their churches or of themselves on making such an allowance as had been made to the Tabernacle. These they insisted on reading, although peace bad been declared and the matter bad been laid to rest. For a couple of hours they wrangled over the desire to read those papers, claiming that the principles of eternal justice demanded it It was urged on the other side that the "principles" were rather those of everlasting snarl.

The quarrel was at last settled by a refusal to bear the papers. A protest was entered against this, aud it is probable that the Synod of Long Island may yet have to decide whether or not the brethren who loaded guns to fire off in expected battle should have the right to fire them off after the battle was over and peace had "been declared. THE CURSE OF BUHL now It Drove Rnro Work Loa afeehanie to autlsate His tatrxoprrale Wife. James Harrison, a respectable, bard working machinist, who recently moved into 1241 Fisher street, became so exasperated on Monday because Lis wife had been on. a two days' spree and bad neglected the children, spent his earnings and abused him besides, that he beat her with a bed slat.

She was taken to St. Mary's Hospital, with cuts on her head, arms and body. Harrison was arrested and yesterdAy was given a hearing by Magistrate Smith. A certificate from Dr. Whitney, of the hospital, was produced, saying that Mri.

Harrison's condition was better. Harrison, who had his two little girls, one aged four and the other two years, by his side, related the story of bis grievances arising from his wife's intemperance, and how she had ao goaded him on Monday with her drunken abuse that he hud struck her. He said he had not drnnk for nine years and had been a good husband, but his wife would persist in getting drunk and wasting his money. His eyes filled with tears as he told bis story. Tlra Ma fatrate aid he sympathized wilh him and Harrison mid lie wanted the children put into some home until the trouble passed over.

He was held for a further hearing and the youngsters were turned over lo the Society to Protect Children from Cruelty end sent to the Southern Home. A month ago the parties had a fulling out and Harrison toek the children fruni their mother. She interested the society in her behalf and Harrison promised to give the children up to her, but failed to do that or put tbem into the Southern Homo.

An Affidavit that the Accruer Con Teased It to Have Bern a Pul l'p" Hrbeuse. The developments in the case of William H. Whilall, insurance egent, yesterday were ol interest.

Mr. Whitall was accused, ou the information of one Harry McCready, of having had his hottse in Bucks county fired for the purpose of ol tainuig the insurance of 82,000 upon it from the United Firemen's Insuranco Company. It was further reported that the money obtained on the policy was afterwards refnnded by Mr. Whilall and this was held ass convincing argument that be was guilty. McCready said that Charles Grover, serving a three years' term in the penitentiary for burglary, was the man who fired the house and was paid $50 for it by Mr.

Whitall. This statement Grover corroboraled in an alliitavit, which, however, is not taken as sufficient proof, inasmuch ns the person making it is a eonvieted felon. On top of tluse accusations comes an affidavit from James M. Fitzgerald, a newspaper reporter, staling that McCready had met him some time before and told him the story, but thai he could not confirm the statement. Subsequently McCready acknowledged lo Mr.

Fitzgerald that he had "put up" the whole thing wilh Grover before he was sent to prison, in order to scare Mr. Whilall and by that means extort money from him, us he would rather pay a thousand dollars than have the thing published." Mr. Whitall characterizes tbe story as an attempt at blackmail, and denies that he paid any money back to the Firemen's Company. He declares that he never saw Grover or Corson, the convictv in his lifo. The officers of the company and their solicitor are reticent on the subject, but scout the idea of compounding a felony.

At ten o'clock this forenoon a fire broke out in the Academy of Music, the beautiful west side theatre, on Halstead street, near Madison, and before the flsines could be controlled the entire interior of "the building was destroyed, leaving the walls standing. When the fire had been burning little more tluui fifteen minutes a crash was heard and a portion of the roof, ou which were a number of tiroiuen, fell in, oreatlng terrible consternation. It was some minutes before the extent of tho disaster was appreciated, and then the work of rescuing tho unfortunate men began. It was found that some had saved themselves by clinging to the portion which had not fallen. Fire Marshal Williams was helped out of the main entrance, staggering nnd bloody, but was without serious injury.

Theodore Bernhardt, a fireman, was token out badly burned and with internal injuries whioh are believed to be fatal. C. W. Dauker, of the hook and ladder company, and Lieutenant Palmer were bully injured about the lower limbs. John Nicliols received severe but uot fatal injuries.

Assistant Fire Marshal Petrie was on tiie roof when it fell and clung to a portion near the wa 1, but it gave way, and he fell, with others, dear to the bottom, breaking bis right leg and receiving other injuries. Three men, named Anderson, D.ily and Ileihnan, of the hook and ladder company, fell to the bottom unliurt. The fire originated among the flies back of the stage and spread to the scenery and roof with incredible rapidity. The loss has not yet been estimated, but will be heavy. This theatre was destroyed by fire about theee years ago, having been the leading place of amusement in litis eity after the great fire until the South Side theatres were rebuilt.

Nearly $20,000 were spent in redecorating It this summer. W. E. Emmet has been recently th leasee and manager of the burned theatre. THE COLOR LINE.

A Discussion Over at Petilion to Admit Colored fill I firm to (the SMihoala, The Board of Education at yesterday's meeting spent an hour in discussion over the report of the grammar scliool committee, to whom had been referred the petition of William M. Chew, colored, alleging That his two children had been debarred admission to.the schools of the Third Section on account of their color and a king for Uie iuterfereue of lue board. The committee reported that as lliere was no rule of the board in reference aHnaiewion to schools they deemed it inadvisable to interfere in the matter. Mr. Shedden excitedly charged the committee with "dodging" the question, and said that the report virtually said that the thirteenth amendment to the Constitution was not valid in the Pint School District of Pennsylvania.

Mr. Wright warned lus lellow members that he was opposed to misceirena tion. Mr. Giutz said that the board was arkod to do for a eolored child what it would not do for a white child. The aeclional boards had been given discretionary powers, and in the absence of a general rule no exception should be made.

There was no proof advanocd that Mr. Chew's allegation was well founded. Ho bad even heard that the sectional board had not passed finally on the admission of the eolored children. After further debate the report was referred back lo tbe committee lor further inquiry. A cotntnuuicalion from the Board of ileal.

relative to the action of the Twenty seventh Seclioua! Board in refusing the vaccine physician of the district permission to visit the schools of the section, was referred to a committee, and to the committee on rules was referred a resolution, offered by Mr. kin, providing that no citizen shall be denied admission into any of the public schools of this district by reason of color." SHEPPARD DECLINES. Uaicert' Late Opponrms Will Pledge Hisn Their Support. The complications attending the dual Democratic nomination for District Attorney were fina.ly settled yesterday through the efforts of Assistant District Attorney Ker, representing the anii Uaicvrt faction, and Lewis C. Custody on behalf of Uie regulars.

The medium accomplishing this result was a letter from Furmnn Sheppard, declining the nomination of the anii llagert convention. It was given in response to a formal letter of notification from the committee appointed for this purpose, which was received by Mr. Sheppard late yesterdny nlteruoon. The ultimate withdruwul of Mr. Sheppard has been conceded for some lime, nud would have been witnessed much booner except for the delay atltntling negotiations having for their object the sccur.ng of harmony, in addition to the withdrawal of the opposition to Mr.

llagert. In this matter tiie opposition refused to negotiate except through Mr. Ker, and Mr. Cassidy's aim was to secure the snpport of the disaffected elements for Mr. Ilegert.

This was a part of the general arrangement oi yesterday, and with Mr. Sheppard's letter of declination went the pledge of the leaders of the opposition for Mr. llagert. The letter will be submitted to the city camisiign committee and the sob committee appointed to investigate the proceedings of the District Attorney's Convention will be withdrawn. This was a part of the agreement, aud when it and other formalities ore observed the letters will be given for publication.

SKarriaP assie New York, October 12. The sixth day's session ofttie Protest tint Episcopal Convention opened with the usual reliKfooa services. The Kcv. Dr. Franklin offered the following!

What Is man A foolish hnby, Vainly strives and fights and frets; Demanding all, deserving nothing One small gruvo is all ho gels, Tlwmat Cariytt, The test of the honesty of both parties will be their willingness to have each empowered to check fraud in the other. The Supervisors of Election are taken equally from each side, as the law directs but the Deputy Marshals, who have vast powers over the polls and voters, have hitherto been appointed entirely from one party and, as a rule, from the most unscrupulous and often dishonest partisans. It was so done in Indiana and Ohio yesterday it was so done in Philadelphia two years ago it has been so done thus far in New York, and if it shall bo so continued in Philadelphia and New York, it will be a public proclamation that United States Marshals aro to be commissioned to commit fraud and not to prevent it.

The better class of citizens without distinction of party, would welcome the appointment of Deputy Marshals from the most upright and resolute men of both sides, because it would assure the integrity of tho ballot; but tho rounders, ballot stutters and violent ward politicians who swarmed upon Philadelphia in 1878 as the Deputies of Marshal Kerns were a disgrace to the Marshal and a reproach upon the city and the nation. How long will it require men of conscience and property to learn that the purity of elections is of vastly greater moment to them and their children than any violent party triumph? The October States, The Republicans fairly held their own in General Garfield's State yesterday, scoring np a majority quite as large, and probably somewhat larger, than they gave to Governor Foster last year. It was a desperate battle, as the enormous increase in the vote shows; and when it is considered that it was done without any personal strength from Garfield, the magnitude of the Republican victory is heightened. It proves that Ohio is a reliable Republican State; that her Greenback wanderers have been safely gathered back to the fold, and that the result would have been the same whether Grant, Uluine or any other man had been the nominee. The Republicans were sluggish until the Maine disaster, when they rallied with the energy, desperation and appliances for which that party is noted and the late exhaustive efforts of the Democrats to take Garfield's State from him, only quickened Republican effort, loosened the Republican purse strings and called into action the last Republican reserves.

At the time of this writing (2 A. we have no advices in regard to the Congressional delegation, but it is rcasonablo to assume that, under the new apportionment, tho Republicans must gain two or three members. The vote for the head of the Republican ticket in Ohio, liko the vote for the head of the Democratic ticket in Indiana, does not fairly exhibit the Republican strength. Townacnd, the Republican candidate for Secretary of State in Ohio, is several thousand behind the rest of the ticket, because of the special defection of German voters, but his majority will be from 12,000 to 15,000, and tho majority for the rest of tho Republican State ticket will be from 17,000 to 20,000. Last year on the vote for Governor and the fullest ever cost before that time, the Republican majority was 17,129.

This year the increase of the vote is over 40,000, and the Republicans hold their own right along. Whatever other States may be esteemed debatable in November, neither side will waste much money or effort on Ohio. Her electoral vote is as certain tor Garfield as is the vote of Vermont Our latest dispatches from Indiana leave the State in doubt on Governor, with chances apparently in favor of Porter, Republican. It will be impossible, in the close vole that is now anticipated, to determine the result for a day or two, as the facilities for obtaining returns are not equal to the facilities in Ohio or Pennsylvania. It is possible that Porter may be elected Governor by a small plurality, as is confidently claimed by his friends, and that the other half dozen Democratic State candidates are successful.

Porter had the benefit of the Greenback antipathy to Landers and of the general disposition of his party leaders to sacrifice everything else to his triumph. He is probably several thousand ahead of his ticket, and may be successful as Hendricks was on the other side in. 1872, when all his colleagues on the Democratic ticket were defeated. If there shall be a drawn battle of that sort in Indiana now, it will make the State equally debatable with New York for November. Of course, with the meagre returns reported and all interest centering in tho Governor, nothing is known about the Congressional delegation or Legislature, although the control of both the Scnato and House may depend upon Indiana.

West Virginia takes politics very leisurely and we have very meagre returns, but there is no reason to doubt that the Democratic State ticket is elected. The Democratic majorities aro reduced by Republican Greenback fusion, as tho Republicans gracefully fell in behind their Greenback brethren to get as much company as possible in defeat. Let Law Kulo All Puniest Judges Blatchfonl andChoate, of the United States Courts ot New York, have curbed tho revolutionary partisan movements of Chief Supervisor Davenport and de lured his special instructions directing naturalization papers to be seized by irresponsible subordinates as "likely to lead to a breach of the peace and totally unauthorized." The question before the Court was the motion for the removal of Davenport for abuse of his office, in accordance with tho power specially conferred upon the United Status Judges; but the Court simply rebuked the unscrupulous official and continued him in office. When it is considered that Mr. Davenport's offense is notoriously committed by the worst prostitution of law to fraudulent party aims, and that he is gravely threatening the peace of New York as well as the purity ot tho ballot, it will seem strango to dispassionate men of all pnrties, that an official who is guilty of an act that the court declare to be totally unauthorized" and that is "likely to lead to a breach of the peace," docs not merit prompt dismissal.

If Chief Supervisor Duvenjmi't can be guilty of one "totally unauthorized" assumption of power that is likely to provoko disorder, with impunity, where is the lino to be drawn in restraining his lawlessness and provocation to riot? Had Judges Blatchfbrd and Choate dismissed Davenport and declared their purpose to sustain faithful officers of both parties in protecting elections from fraud, aud to impose tho sternest punishment upon all who attempted lawlessness, whether under color of law or otherwise, they would have done much to nsmiro an honest vote aud to preserve tho now seriously threatened peace of New York. Instead of thus emphapsi.ing the law, tho Court treated the offense as not a very serious departure from official duty, and, therefore, one that should be excused. It is this subtle tolerance of violence by pnrty ofliuiuls In elections that now threatens freo government more gravely than ever did armed treason. It threatens the nation with the rnlo of lawlessness, ntid when might shall supplant right in political contests, all government will be nt an end.

Both sides cheered good bumorcdly last night, as becomes citizens of the same country, all of whom would be glad to see it well governed and prosperous.

The hundreds of people who expected to go into Third street to day and buy cheap stocks on a panic over the Indiana election, will be disappointed now, just as they would have been disappointed if Indiana had gone Democratic by thousands. The Democrats took time by the forelock last night and got their parades, cheers and mnsic in early in tho evening before the Indiana returns took definite shupo. Both sides bad their jollification, but the gift of continuance was with the Republicans. Il may not make any difference now, but it would be an assertion of self respect on the part of the Democrats to compel the retirement of William H. English from the national ticket He is quite as reputable as Mr.

Arthur and much moro of a statesman, but Arthur wasn't running in Indiana and English was. Indiana is swinging rather provokingly in the balance, and it may require a day or two for the political majority to settle down. It is possible that the Republicans may get the head of the State ticket and the Democrats the body aud tail, but it was the head that both were alter. Keep cool over Indiana. Curbstone battles or gutter knockdowns won't hasten the returns or enlarge majorities cither way.

Wait until the smoke clears off and then take a calm survey of the field and settle bets by paying and looking pleasant. Our staid aud conservative friends of tho Episcopal General Convention must have a little sparkle of dobate to relievo the unruffled calmness of their sessions. This bit of a sparkle came on the introduction of a resolution thanking the clergymen who staid at their posts of duty during the yellow fever epidemics of 1878 and 1879. It seemed somewhat late to bring in at this date such a resolution, but it must be remembered that the General Convention now meets for the first time since those epidemics. Half a dozen clergymen from the districts where the fevers prevailed rose to their feet and indignantly tUnoauooJ tu pnssaire of such a resolution.

One of these declared all such resolutions to be a species of ecclesiastical dry rot, and stated his belief that this rot was eating into the vitals of the Church. After a spirited debate, which lasted all the morning, the principle was established by a vote of 141 to 106 that a man who does his duty by sticking to his post is none the better lor any resolutions setting iorth the propriety of his behavior. The principle thus enunciated is asound one. Were it otherwise our ecclesiastical and secular legislative bodies would be grievously burdened with resolutions eulogistic of men who bad done right In course of time every man who had done his duty would expect a resolution, and the poor fellows compelled to go without resolutions would consider themselves lacking in faithfulness. There is such a thing as making complimentary resolutions too cheap, Tiie Sultan has yielded at last and signed the order for the cession of Dulcigno to Montenegro.

Thus that gallant little State regains some of the well earned Iruits of its victory over the Turks, which were unrighteously snatched from her in 1878. The Montenegrins, whom the jealousy of Austria had caused to bo shut up in their mountains and deprived of a seaport, took advantage of the Russo Turkish war to better their position, and by honest lighting captured the three Adriatic ports of Ppizza, Anlivari and Dulcigno. Naturally they expected to retain them; but when the Turks were finally vanquished aud the European powers came to administer on their estate, Montenegro was treated very cavalierly. Austria took Spizza for herself; Dulcigno was given back to the Turks, and only Autivari, the poorest haven of the three, was left to the brave people who had won them all. The supplementary conference, however, corrected a part of this injustice and decreed that the Sultan should turn over Dulcigno to Montenegro.

This that obstinate potentate declined to do, and it was to bring him to a better mind that pressure was brought to bear upon him by tho "European concert" by tho harmless naval demonstration that has caused such world wide amusement. But the continued pressure has finally accomplished apart of its purpose and the Montenegrins get back their seaport. It will be of more value to them than it would be to a country that had larger and better coast line. It has been a iniserablo place under Turkish rule, Inhabited by pirates and riiflians, but the Montenegrins will make a decent town of it, and the possession of its liurbor will give them a national position to which they have long been entitled. It is fun to go through the street and howl on an election night, even it the election is a distant one.

In the old days it would not pay to make a noise in the street aliont the election in a State several hundreds of miles off. Now the telegraph brings Indiana and Ohio to our own doors, and with two telegraph instruments busily clicking in tho editorial rooms it is iinpossiblo to regard tho inhabitants of theso States otherwise than as neighbors, Therefore it is lawful to howl in our streets, jiust as if tho election we're going on at our own polls. To listen to the various vocal noises which make np the grand chorus of enthusiasm under the windows, all the noisc niitklng animals in creation would seem to be contributing. It is easy to imagine that we hear the lion, the hyena, the bear, the Thomas cat, the bull and ven the calf. The fiict that we seem to hear all these shows tho wonderful capacity of the human toire.

The persons who utter tho various noises are not speaking or yelling in anger. On the contrary, they are for the most part quite happy, nud the more noiso they make the hnjfpicr they tiro. Whenever a bit of fresh intelligence comes in nnd is bulletined they set up a renewed howl of happiness. When no news comes in for a little whilo they set np another bowl, similar In quality, but lew as to qnun tity. Thus With liit nnd heavy thront cxcrclscs tlio crowd spend an evening aud a night of perfect delight In a stroet crowd there aro people who have uo politics lu par The Defeated Candidate.

One of the necessary incidents of an election, be it held when or where it may, is the defeated candidate. It were a happy thing if elections could be so remodeled that there would be no defeated candidates, but that, contrariwise, every seeker after an office should get one. Many improvements have of fate years been introduced into the election business, but this has not yet been attained, nor is it likely to be as matters now are. The defeated candidate is a solemn and inevitable necessity. When he accepts his nomination he knows that somebody will be defeated, but his ardently hopeful disposition loads him to believe that it will be the man on the other side.

A man who has not this disposition ought never to be a candidate at all. This hope keeps him up during his whole campaign experience. As he pays out his hard earned cash ior torch and banner and band and refreshment, it is not except when be happens to have a lit of the blues that he feels himself to be dropping his money down a bottomless hole. Ho is investing in the future a future which seems to him radiant with the honor of the office he is to hold and varnished with all the graces of oratory that have bedecked its anticipation from the myriad effervescent speeches of enthusiastic friends of the cause. On the day oi the election the candidate who is doomed to disappointment and defeat is quite as lively as any other man.

To falter at such a time is to be quenched for a certainty. To let his followers see that he falters is to damp their spirits and lose their support. He must listen unmoved to all the hurrahs which rend the air from the throats of the opposing forces. 'When a dispatch comes in to the effect that as far as heard from in the distant sections where it is impracticable to procure trustworthy information bis side is holding its own, he must mount a chair or table and shout with all his might. He must stay up late at night aud not go homo till morning.

Despite his endeavors nnd his expenditures, the electiou obstinately goes the wrong way, and he is defeated. There is a great diversity in the demeanor of the defeated candidate. Sometimes he howls aud tears his hair aud uses unseemly lauguage. Sometimes ho bears mislortune with the stolid calmness of a stoic. Sometimes he says ho knew from the beginning that it would be thus, for his luck is always to meet with mis Laps.

Again, he raves at the supposed laith lessness of those who promised to support him and who relieved him of much of his cash. Or he strives to find consolation in arithmetic. With bis little slate and pencil he figures out what ought to have been the result, and then sums up the dismal total of what the result actually is. The result remains unchanged, but there is a sad satisfaction in footing up the figures. Then ho begins to talk about the magnitude and the baseness of the corruption of the other party.

He is satisfied that votes were bought oud paid for by the hundreds by the unprincipled persons of that party; and that in addition to this fraudulent voting, there has been a fright nu inouut of equally irauduleut counting. He declares that he will have the whole wicked business exposed and that tho country is going to the dogs by reason of its being controlled by such men as have kept him out of office. Now, it is hard to take defeat calmly and to accept with philosophical coolness the crushing of one's dearest hopes yet the man who can thus take it when necessary is the happy one. Somebody must sncceed and somebody be defeated. Whoever works for a nomination or accepts one when others work il up for him ought to know this at the outset.

There is nothing to be made by lamenting. Tears shed over spilt milk are a poor investment If the defeated candidate is so badly discouraged as to vow that he will never again run for office let him console himseli with the reflection that plenty of other men are willing to run, and that there will be no lack. Should he determine again to try his chances he can but hope for better luck next time. No oxr dare dkny that in this country we bring up the young patriot in the way be should go. Almost every street of residences in Philadelphia has its band of juvenile campaigners, who Bhout away the early hours of evening for their favorite candidate or discuss protection and free trado on the front stops.

The politician in jackets knows all about Garfield and Hancock and can even tell what the majorities iu Ohio and Indiana will bo to day. He hears, the issues of the campaign discussed at the breakfast tablo and on the street his eyes naturally rest upon the lettering of the campaign banners. But it remained for Pittsburg to take politics iuto the public schools. The country will be glad to learn, too, that it was steadier of the gentle sex who made the first move in the matter Miss Jane McCluro, of the Forbes District School." Miss McCluro a few days ago called her pupils before her and directed that "those who favored Gai Hold and Arthur should bold up their bauds." Quite a number of chubby lists flew into the sir and the teacher smiled approval. Then the boys who thought Hanock should be President were asked to hold their hands aloft.

A frown settled upon Miss McCluro's face. There were about as many Hancock hands as Garfield hands. The young womau commanded silence aud proceeded to expluin why the children should favor the Republican candidates. They were good men, she said, and Hancock nnd English wcro very bad men, indeed. She wu in earnest about tho matter, the continued, and would punish all who failed to declare for Garfield.

One little girl said that papa a Hancock man," and so was she, and thereupon the teacher made the little girl stand up in a cornor whilo the Garfield children pointed at her the finger of scorn." There is something exceedingly neat in thii new method of teaching the young idea how to vote, and yet the Dcmncrntio newspapers iu Pittsburg do not not appear to enjoy It. It IS otUTirvixa tolnarn thr.t Garfield's birthplace gives a Republican gain of 25. It is small, but It is better than nothing. Thcro Is Mr. Hayes, for example, who did uot make out so well.

Ilia home shows a Democratic gain of tU. As Pretty A little episode In ecclesiastical warfare as ever was made public took place on Monday in the Brooklyn Presbytery, where the much played farce of "Taluiageand His Brethren" was being enacted. The specialty over which the brethren were at this time wrangling was a matter of about throe hundred dollars growing nut of expenses Incurred in entertaining the General Assembly four years ago. It had been held by snmi of the brethren that Talmage'f Tabernacle ought to bear this expense and by others that tho Presbytery should pay it At a mooting six months ago the Pros bytsry credited the Tabernacle with the amount, although at the time an offer was mailo by the Tabernacle trcasnror to pay it rather than have any trouble about it. Throe uiontlia later indignant loiters woro received from two ehurehee, musing to pay their customary assessment for I'resbytcrlul expenses If thisamoiint were allowed tho Tabernacle.

This opened the door for a general row. The matter was referred to a committee, which, at the meeting held on Mouday, presented amajority and a minority report.each about ball an boor long. It tet nied as if a hopeless tangle might he before the body, To everybody's astonishment Taluiage, after a brief spoeuh, said They had a good old Democratic fight in Ben Wood's district in New York yesterday a Tegular knock dowa and drag out Thus Tammany and Irving Hall manifest their harmony and their common devotion to Reform. Some experiments are now making in London in tho use of electric lights that will be of great interest and value to other cities as well. This mode of illumination is already in use, upon quite an extensive scalo, in various Tail way stations and other large establishments in London and upon the Thames embankment, and the corporation has now invited tenders for tho lighting by electricity of the bridges as well as the embankment, and of the important streets radiating from the Mansion House the Poultry, Cheapside and others.

But a still more important experiment was made a fortnight ago at the Royal Albert Docks. Tho basin ot these docks is nearly five hundred feet wide and a mile and a quarter in length, and the entire space was brilliantly lighted by twenty seven electrio lamps, placed on latticed iron polos, eighty feet high. These lamps, which are provided with carbous to burn for sixteen hours, are said to be so constructed as to resist tbe influence of the severest weather, and the electricity is provided from four stations, at each of whioh an engine of twenty nominal borse power runs theSemnes machines. Smaller lights aro distributed in the sheds around the dock, and so complete was the illumination that a large Australian packet, which bad just arrived in the river, was docked at midnight without difficulty. The steamer was berthed, the passengers landed, their baggage examined and the whole business carried on as though by daylight.

The great practical value of such illumination is obvious. In London it will rob the fog of its terrors and every city will ultimately be compelled to adopt it. The new Pennsylvania Railroad depot will no doubt be lighted by electricity, and if we can get plenty of such lights around the Public Buildings on Broad stroet aud Market and Chestnut streets, it will make a wonderful difference in the attraction which tho city will present to visitors. There was lots of fun last night. Everybody could find something to shout over and tho brass bands vied with each other iu noisiness irrespective of party.

The "Jersey" is doomed. It is a queer shaped garment which owes much of Its public favor to the fact that it whs considered a becoming part of the costume of Mrs. Langtry and other fashionable notables of her stripe. The Princess of Walus, who now has much to do with sotting tho fashions both for England and France now that Eugenie is out of that lino of effort, had adopted the Jersey, and as a matter of course the other ladies were beginning to follow her. Judge of the" dismay which pervaded the ranks of fashionable society when the terrible discovery was made that TrOm time immemorial circus women bad worn Jerseys.

The Princess dropped them, auu society now frowns upon thorn;" Jerseys are at bast ugly things. A young lady with a faultless figure may wear one without positively making a fright of herself. To a lady whb is beginning to grow old, or who is very stout or very spare, or ery peculiarly shaped, a Jersey is an impossibility. Should Thomas White, alias George Smith, aliassomcbodyelse.bo sent to prison for five hundred years it will bo an awful warning to him never again to go into the perjury and forgery business in connection with making false naturalization papers. Mr.

White, alias Smith, alias otherwise, had signed his name or names as vouchers lor about a hundred sinners who wanted to become natives of this country in order to give the country a lift at the polls. As the penalty for each offense is five years' imprisonment it is easy to see that Mr. Smith, White or What's his name has a long term before him. Wheu released from his confinement this gentlemau will prohably bo a firm compulsory believer in tho purity of the ballot box and tho permanence of the institutions of a free country. The visiting statesmen in Indiana appear to have taken the advice of Tub Times aud paired oil'.

The Republicans of Bradford county seem to bo the easiest sort of folk to get along with if they are only allowed to have their own way. They have had tho Senator and Congressman for some time, and all thoy want is that they shall be allowed to have hoth of them for an iu delioito period iu the future. The result is protracted disputes iu both thoir Congressional aud Senatorial conferences. Susquehanna presents Mr. Searlo for Congress and inclines to stick to him iu dead earnest, and Mr.
