J he Pennsylvania Kepublicans are well and harmoniously organized, and tbe democracy have given up tbe fight in that state; at least, one would judge bo by the tone of their leading paper-. The Supreme Court has the Silvers case in hand, and ominous silence now reigns in regions where clatter, and wise discussion but recently prevailed; whether this means the top rail of the fence is rapidly filling up, or cot, we cannot say. So far as the Hebald is concerned, it maintains its perpendieu larity on the most elevated portion of that structure with composure and d els certain that its position is the safest, us well as one of dignity and comfort In the menu time' we wish to suggest to our Democratic brethren that they had best be lookiug up some othei great issue upon which they can turn our antiuiouopolist friend from "Arbor Springs Lodge" loose upon the people of Nebraska next fall. The bottom is already pretty effectually knocked out of ibis one, as it now is; and no mat ter what our Supreme Court may do in the premises, it won't do to depend on the State Capitol Contract to boost that pari iuto power. Hon. Jeremiah Black is danger- oursly ill at his home in York, Pennsyl vania. The old gentleman is a relic of old time Democracy, and a jurist of de servedly national fame. It was a pa per written by Mr. Black that recently called for the famous letter from Jef ferson Uavis in defense of secession, and the action of tbe Democracy ot James Buchanan's days, when no power or authority could be found in the con stitution to warrant a Democratic ad ministration in taking traitors bv the throat and puuishiug them for high treason. As Air. Black was contro verting Mr. Davis and his constitution al view upon secession, universal re gret w Jll prevail should his sickness prevent the vigorous reply, which is expected of him, to the recent letter ot the great representative of tbe South ern Confederacy. This discussion between Mr. Davis and his old Attorney General, will, however, impress the reader with tbe great truth that tbe wheels of progress in this eaiiichtened age can crush the hardest granite in tbe shape of Demo cratic prejudice; when men like Jere- mian Black, A ho have been celebrated for their refusul to extract wisdom from the many errors and mistakes of their party ; who have clung to its effete hob bies and traditions from the time its teachings and tendencies plunged the country into civil war in '61 down ta the present day, break away from its influence and control and taice up the rational side of such a dissension. Jerre Black is a terse, vigorous writert of much more than ordinary power and ability; and the great pity is, that he did not employ that power and abil ty on behalf of his country at a time when he could have rendered it great service, and established the fact that his love of country exceeded his love of party. The Herald devoutly hopes the old gentleman may live to com -plete an argument he should have made twentf odd years ago. Ou, Yes; "Turn .the rascals out," that's it, Mr Dana of th Sun sings, "Turn out the rascals," and the entire democratic press join in the choral cry, "Turn em out" and turn in tbe democ racy: free trade is abandoned for a free for all rustle lor oflice. Fortuwith the New York Sun takes up the tailings from the star toute trials and inter views, and quotes and swears .by Mr. Dorsey. Dorsey is made to divulge the great and staitliag truth thai, this and that republican contributed liberally to the republican ftiud to help carry Indiana for James A. Garfield iu 1880, and forthwith the air is darkened with democratic hands held high in holy horror at tbe idea that funds were sent to the Uoopier state to help elect a re publican ticket. Tbe sum total of all villainies is charged up to a political party that uses funds in placing its representatives in power, and especially is this the case where a democratic stronghold, like Indiana, Is Invaded and subdued ; very shortly, however, tbe scene changes; tbe internecine war among the loyal ranks of tbe New Yotk democracy grows redhot, Tammany and anti-Tammany enter the lists, and the question among these virtuous pa triots naturvlly arises, who should be turned ro wben tice rnsceto are turned out?" John Kelly stoutly maintains that he represent the loyal democra cy, while the Sun terms Mr. Kelly and his warriors as a band of half breeds and traitois. Mr. Kelly nnd his friends retort that the traitors reside in the Tilden wing of tbe party and prove it by the'.r man, Birdsall, "all the way from Connecticut," whereupon the Sun the organ which has been quoting Mr. Dorsey and condemning the use of funds by republicans in Indiana, when Mr. Garfield wm given that state, comes up smilingly to the scratch and proves that Uncle Sammy Tilden, at one time, gave the national democratic committee his cheek for $25,000 to help, aid and assist in electing Mr. Hancock ; and thereupon, Mri Tilden'a loyalty to the party is established beyond per ad ven ture; but while it is being established, the Dorsey boom has received a very serious backset ; that $25,000 contribu tion by the patriot from Graniercy.is a very unfortunate fact for the Sun to bring out, just when it is ringing the changes on the contribution by wealthy republicans, of their good money, to help the good cause of keeping this country in the hands of a republican administration. Verily, "consistency i a jewel'' which the party of obstruction cannot estimate or properly appreci ate. ADUDE IN THE RAILROAD OFFICE rrom the New Orleans Times Democrat. Yesterday a dude walked into the Louisville and iNashville ticket office, not a New Orleans -iude, but one of the mported sort, which is seldom seen here. Ou his clo ely cropped, bullet head was perched a mauimotb white beaver, the wide brim of which curled up like a scoop, and formed a roof for he protection of u large pair of pigeon toed ears. The tail of his delicate coat flirted around his suspender buttons, and entirely failed to cover the south ern exposure of his tight-litting pants, which were so small in the legs that they looked like two umbrella covers. Below the bottoms of the pants which clasped the ankles like a Langtry glove were a pair of feet which the Smithso nian institute have been trying to find for a long time. They simply stood straight out from the rest of the dude, as if tbey belonged to another family. while the ticket cierks were wondering how the dude managed to slip his feet through bis pant's legs without using a shoe horn, he leaned both elbows on the counter, and, with a gentle smile, said: "Cawn't you sell me a sleeping car ticket to Atlantaw, Georgaw?" "e9, 3am the clerk. "Aw, well do so me deah fellaw. please. Aw! but I forgot to ask the price, you k aw." He was told the price ot tbe ticket, and handing out the money he drum med on the counter with his hands and sang: We nevali speaK as we pass by, Although a teah drop "Aw, but 1 say, are you quite suah the slepan will go right through to Atlantaw ?" Yes; it goes right through without fail." 'Well, you know that's what I look out for when I take a sleepaw. I bate a beastly change, you knaw V e nevah speak as "Aw, my deah fellaw. tell me, there is n danger of a lay ovaw ?" "No, sir " "Your'e quite suah you stand pat on t, you knaw." "Yes; how many times do you want me to tell you." "Aw you have a full hand old follow laven't you ?" The ticket clerk could stand no more and was in the act cf reaching for a pa per weight when the dude with a wave of his hand, said: 'Aurevaw, I must get my things to the caw," and as he passed out be once more sang : We nevaw speak as we pass bvT As he glided down the street the peo ple stopped, and looked, and wondered if they could buy the thing to play with. How "Spoopendyke" Reported an Agricultural Meetlus- From the Washington Republican. It is an old siory but good enough to bear repeating: Absut the nrst newspaper worlc Stanley Huntley, the "Spoopeudyke" of the .Brooklyn .Eagle, did, was on The New xoik Tribune, when Greeley was its editor. His maiden assign menu was to repojt a convention of eminent agri- cultujist. It struck the newly fleoged reporter that the delegates did not know wuut they were talking about, and he ailudeii tnem trequently i.- the course of his report as a parcel of old women and Jdiots, who hadn't the remotest idea ot practical agncuiture. as ne sat at his desk rouudiug out his report and filling in a few aojecuves indica tive of bis disapproval of the proceed ings ot the day and the men who par ticipated, he noticed a man at the other end of tbe room shooting copy thiough a tube into tbe composing room. When be was done the man who had been feeding the tube was out of his seat, and the innocent Huntley fired bis own matter to tbe foreman without submit ting it to the man at the tube, who, as he afterward learned, was the city ed itor. The next day he was summoned before Hoi ace Greeley, Who opened out on him with' a -stream of orofuuity that inad Huntley's hair stand ou eua. It was evident that the great editor was not pleased With .the new man's effort, and the luckless author received a dres sing do wn . he never forgot. - At the first break in tue. torrent vf luvectives tbat floI. from tbe good man's lips, Huntley xentureU to ask if his report was not Collect, and if the first duty of a reper was not to state tacts. - - . , "Yes, of course, but you conld have stated tbe facts without calling the convention a congregation of old idi and ttbeo MkrWVd sve Wegsi4fe in italic. "But were they not u set of blanked old idiots ?"' timidly inquired the vic tim of the great editor's wrath. "Yes, I suppose they were, he des pairingly exclaimed, thoroughly ex hausted, and realizing the poeJty of language in dealing with such a sub ject; "but blankoty, blank, blank your fool soul, I was one of 'em myself. I was president ot the meeting." Republican State Convention.
