Local notices one cent a word. COL. McQIFFlN. The Harrisburg correspondent of (ha Pittsburg Gazette writes as follows to that journal: "The West Penn Hospital and Dix raont appropriation went through without any trouble, and the appropriation for the Western Pennsylva nia Institution for the Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb went through with 142 votes. All the western mem bers voted for it except Col.

McGiffln, of Washington county, who ever since he voted for the salary grab, in which he is personally interested to the extent of five hundred dollars, has been trying build up a reputa tion as an advocate oi economy in public affairs by voting against ap propriations lor charitable institu tions. His two colleagues, Billings- ley and Boyce, who both voted aeainst the salary grab, voted for these charitable appropriations to day. McGiffln says it is flat robbery to appropriate money from the State treasury to charitable institutions, So far as the salary grab is concerned, he says he thinks he is entitled to the exti a pay and intends to have it. He voted with the salary grabbers against bringing up the resolution for final adjournment until the salary grab passed. Then he voted to bring it up and the same day voted to with hold it from the Senate, when it was reported the Governor had not sign ed the salary grab.

His two col leagues, Billingsley and Boyce, vot ed exactly opposite to him on all these questions. Col. McGiffln is a brave and intel ligent man; he was a member of the Washington county bar, is a graduate of our college, and is one of the mrst fearless men we know in the expression of his opinion. This firmness sometimes looks to those who do not understand his nature as bordering on the stubborn. We have not agreed with the Colonel in many of his votes; we think he started wrong in refusing to obey the majority caucus.

Tet weknow that he keeps up a somewhat extensive correspondence with his constituents, and probably knows better what his friends want than those not so well informed. But Palmer mistakes when he assails him as unfriendly to charitable institutions. He voted for mn nf Hipsp. nnrl oetwtallu for the Dixmont and West Penn Hospitals. That he should not have voted for state aid to an institution which is to a certain extent a private enterprise, is not such an action as to call forth malediction from so influential a papar as the Gazette.

His vote on the salary bill will have to be read in the light of a better understanding, when all the points involv ed are fully known. As at present advised we eannot approve that vote, and we find a general disapproval in amost the entire Republican press of tli State. In the Senate at Harrisburg on Thursday when the constitutional amendment prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating spirits, came up, several of the Senators made merry over the absence of Mr. Lawrence from his seat. Hints that he was home to "dodge the bill" were freely indulged in, and a good deal of sarcasm used in the expressed opinions that Mr.

Lawrence was purposely avoiding a vote on the liquor question, lest it might seriously endanger Lis prospects as a candidate for State Treasurer. Our Senator has no occasion to dodge any vote on the temperance question, as his record on restrictive legislation pertaining to the liquor traffic is fully made up. He has always voted, persistently and without exception, in favor of every measure calculated to restrain the kwlesness of rum selling, and one vote more would not have injured" any political prospects that the future may have in store for him. More than that his in this case would not havo changed the result. Senator Lawrence is not able to take his seat.

His present return to Harrisburg is positively interdicted ly his physicians, and Senators who now occupy seats at Harrisburg, who are doctors of medicine, advised his Immediate departure from the malarial atmosphere of the Capitol. He la only able by considerable exertion to take dally open air exercise-an absoluto condition to Ins recovery underclothing; men in spangles kicking barrels with their feet; a high wire acrobat and a low comedy clown the dancing gir with the mosquito net clothing, and the trained does which didn't come. It was all very beautiful and very damp. It is by no means a secret any longer that a certain slate ticket has been set up for Washington county Republicans, and it is expected that us innocent souls in the country districts will swallow the dose. Go slow, dear friends, let us have no divisions in our ranks; no prepared dose, no boseism a free ballot and a fair count, and then everybody for the ticket.
