It may be proper for a Legislature te - purify itself in this way,but it has never been done; and a warrant for it in tbe law can hardly be found, when Judge Black, with his great legal knowledge, is unable te point itreut. The man Silas Gray, who is under sentence of death in Westmerel.nd county for the murder of a woman Jx years age, was convicted upon the testi- xneny of a horse thief, who said that Gray had told him he killed ber with a hatchet and threw her body into the creek, and upon the additional evidence that Gray had once said he would make k -"way with her, and upon the supposed identification, as hers, of the lower jaw bone of a skull which arose te the sur face of the creek. Tbe beard eC pardons v "has refused te commute hissentence and the governor has issued his death war 's rant. New comes a postal card te liar risburg, the writer of which says that one u Jack Petty " told him he took the supposed murdered woman " ever tbe mountain and made away with her, and said be was afraid he would be hung for it." It will be easy te ascertain if this card is a genuine communication or only a clumsy attempt te save the prisoner's .'life. But surely the case, irrespec tive of this, is one calculate 1 te arouse public interest.

The Pittsburgh Ditpatch, though it re gards Dukes as infamous, thinks the con stitution should be obeyed even if it nomi nally seats in enr Legislature the most contemptible criminal unhang. The Beading News is tickled because Rev. H. A. Cleveland has been reap pointed te his Reading pulpit. He has great popularity and influence as a preacher there. The Philadelphia Evening Nem, which a Methodist preacher helps te edit, de pleres the less te the church in that city of Revs. Tiffany, Tedd, Hargis and Beyle; and points out that preachers are getting scarce all around. The Philadelphia Evening Telegrapli, apropos of the difficulty of meeting tbe demand for geed Methodist preachers, sug gests that there sheald be fewer churehes and better prevision for these who devote their lives te the spiritual welfare of their fellow-men. The Washington Review and Examiner proclaims that "if the people de net arouse from the present torpor that blinds thorn te danger, every avenue of escape will be cut' off and the monopolists will have unlimited control of the whole country."

The Reformed Chureli Messenger tninks the preposition te suppress the writings of Huxley, Spencer, Tyndall, Darwin and Mill, in England, " is a very foolish pro cedure that will de meie harm than geed. Any attempt te suppress free inquiry will only make martyrs of scientist?, and lead the world te think that the truths of relig ion cannot bear investigation." The Reading Herald thinks the bad cooking explanation of frequent divorce may account for the trouble in New Eng land, where the people subsist principally en hash, Ne. 10 mackerel and pep corn, but then it will net account for the in creasing number of divorces in Berks county, where geed cooking prevails, and where the seething sour kreut is sup posed te modify and soften all acerbities of temper.

At the inquest upon the body of W. H. Haverstick Thursday, Mrs. Uhler, the murdered man'b paramour, appeared. She was nervous and weak and her testimony was interrupted by tears and sobs. Her physician sat by her and was obliged te partially support ber. She said that she had lived with Haverstick since last May, having been compelled te leave her bus band after many quarrels. When he would net let ber come into his house she bad consented te go with her brother te Rene, Nevada, and en tbe afternoon of the trag edy talked with him in the presence of Haverstick of the matter. Suddenly Haverstick threw off his coat, and, seizing something, flung it at her brother. She rushed between and the shot was fired. Haverstick, she reluctantly admitted, had quarreled with her that evening and slap ped her face, "but," she added, he "didn't mean te hurt me." -f . Conkling was then called and told the story of his coming home te effect a recon ciliation between bis sister and her hus band, or te take her home with him. They were te go te Lebanon, Fa , te see her children, and thence te Rene. On Mon day evening, when he called en his sister he found ber crying after the quarrel with Haverstick. She begged him te tike her away, and then the fatal quarrel occurred. His story of the occurrence did net differ from that already published. The inquest was then closed, and Mrs. Uh'er was, by her consent, taken te tbe office of her brother's counsel, and thence te an uptown hotel. Tbe jury found that Conkling had killed Haverstick by firing a pistol, the shot " being fired under great provocation." Bail was refused, and the prisoner re committed te tbe Tombs. Haverstick's body, in charge of his brother, passed through Lancaster yester day en its way te Carlisle where it was buried te-day. The Haverstieks have no disposition te prosecute Conkling, and seem te be satisfied that tbe distressing affair should end in its present shape. W. H. Haverstick was born in Carlisle in 1852, and resided there until the death of his father in 1864, when he and his mother removed te California, where she new re sides with ber son, J. Wilsen Haverstick. TQE WAY TO S1VTTI.U IT. Judge Black's Views en Dukes' AdintsIen te the Heme. Pittsburgh Pest Interview. "They don't need any advice at Har risburg en this subject," said the judge, and iffli?lilw vnnlrl net take any." the tempestuous Then, after referring te passion that has been aroused by the trial of Dukes, he continued : " Tbere is danger of going tee far, as in all cases where the passiena of men be bo be ceme thoroughly aroused. There is, how ever, a precedent for declaring Dukes.' seat vacant." "When was that?" "Inl838Thad. Stevens, after he tried te get up the war known in the history of this state as the Buckshot war, and the enterprise collapsed, jumped out of a back window of the Senate and ran off te Get tysburg, where be remained without claiming his seat for about a month. When he came in and offered te take the oath the Heuse resolved with great sol emnity that his seat was vacant. I de net believe that this judgment of the Heuse was founded upon tbe mere failure of Stevens te claim his seat, for ethers who bad been out nearly as long were admitted without hesitation. The deer was shut upon Stevens by a sentiment of indignation like that felt against Dukes. He had tried t3 perpetrate a gross fraud by tbe intrc ductien of eleven members from Philadel phia wbe were known net te be elected; and brought troops te Harrisburg with in lent te force the bogus members upon tbe Hense that knew they had no right there. If the troops could have been used as he intended, it would have produced 'a civil war, and tbe whole state might bave been covered with bleed and ashes. If that was the reason for declaring Ste vens' seat vacant, the case is authority for a similar judgment against Dukes, but I doubt if it was right. Congress iu sev eral cases had turned men out of their places en the ground that they were im proper persons morally unfit te associate with the members who voted against them. I think Congress was wrong every time it did this, as the British Parliament was wrong ie refusing for a similar reason te seat Wilkes. But what is te be done in a cas9 like this ? It is lit erally impossible te Ieta man like Dukes take a part in the legislation of the state. The Heuse will exclude him, even at the risk of taking some revolutionary meas ure te keep him out. If the thing is te be' done lawlessly, I would rather see it done outside the Beuse thaa by the aetieief nci the derr ssisisia SMI,VS&TSS5S5J5i i ij?v.y is A J g-AZ&i 7?5 Mr. Blaek, a ssest suitaMs te the "It weafcl be better, I thiak, that soflMbedy sheald meet hist at the depot and ran him out of the town before ha has time te get up the hilh Probably, how ever, he will have tee muchrecard for his health te make his appearance there at all." CLUfS JSKW AT POKER. ITerty-tbree Tbessaad Dellar Cbaaglsg JJwbw en a Single Hand. Philadelphia Press. When fast young club men tire of the monotony of elub parlors and smoking rooms, they oceoasionally seek the seclu sion of a popular hotel net a mile from the Union League, and indulge in a quiet game of draw-poker jack-pets and all the trimmings. A few nights age such a game was in progress, in which the Phila delphia, Secial Art and Union League clubs were represented. After an hour or se of play, with scarcely enough difference in fortune te warm up the players, a jack-pet was made, which was net broken until four or five deals had swelled it te handsome proportions. Yeung Themas A. Scott, finding three queens, threw in a $20 geld piece with great confidence. Jehn Tucker examined his hand and found a pair of jacks, and the ten, nine and seven of diamonds, one of hia jacks being also of that suit. With the alternative of drawing te his four flush Mr. Tucker remarked that it would cost $50 te play, and posted the cash. All the players threw up their hands ex cepting Mr. Scott, who merely saw the raise. Mr. Scott drew one card and get his fourth queen. Mr. Tucker split bis jacks, and drawing te his four flush took in the eight of diamonds, making his hand a straight flush, Mr. Scott casually re marked that his hand was worth $1,000, and put that amount in tbe pet. My land is worth $3,000," said Mr. Tucker, in a tone whose nervousness caused Mr. Scott te think that perhaps an attempt te bluff was in progress. "Five thousand mere," Mr. Scott said. "Fifteen thousand mere," Mr. Tucker retorted. Mr. Scott's confidence iu his queens was undiminished, and he chuekled te himself te think what a snap Tucker had get himself into.- "Thirty thousand mere." was the net result of Mr. Scott's brief self-consultation. Mr. Tueker paused, ran his eyes ever his hand te see whether it was all right, and apparently went into a mental com putation of his bank account. " I call," he said, throwing up an I. O. U. te balance the pet. " Four queens," said Mr. Scott, spread ing out tbe band en tbe table, and mak ing a move as if te rake in the stakes. " Net se fast, if you please a straight flush," said Mr. Tueker. Mr. Seett's face fell, and Mr. Tucker pocketed his win nings, something ever $43,000 en that hand. ' STIKRiNO FIGHTS. Uaxtle Men and Mexicans Engaged Near Fert Huacbaca. A report has reached Tombstone, A. T., of a terrible conflict between cattle men and Mexicans, in which about six men were killed. The fight occurred at Mor rison's ranch, at Barbacemari, thirteen miles from Fert Huachuca. It is impos sible te learn the cause of the conflict at this hour, but it is probably the outgrowth of a cattle dispute between two factions. Great excitement prevails and a party left for the scene. A courier from Charlestown states that a party while engaged around some newly discovered coal fields were attacked by a band of twenty Indians without warning and several men killed and wounded.

Mrs. Hern, who was se terribly burned en Tuesday at Manheim, died from her injuries en Wednesday evening shortly alter 9 o'clock, and the body was interred at the German Baptist cemetery near Manheim. Twe of the children, aged 7 and V years, were brought te this city and placed in the children's home. The youngest is only two years of age, and it was taken by Wm. Gantz, jr., until ether arrangements can be made. Te tbe last tbe woman contended that Jehn Laux, the man arrested, was the person who set fire te her clothing. In her sworn statement she said that he came te the camp shortly after her husband's departure. He asked permission te light his pipe, and taking a seat by the fire, be pan making improper proposals te her. They were refused, whereupon he began cursing and kiokieg the fire brands ever her. Her clothing seen caught and be ran away, leaving her te burn. When Laux was arrested he corresponded with tbe woman's description of her assailant.

Bishop Bewman Thursday evening, in response te a request that he should give some recital of his observations while in China and Japan, addressed a geed sized andience in the Duke street Methodist church, and f?r an hour held their closest attention by 'his interesting accounts, given in an entertaining and conversa tional style. The bishop began by saying that he had came without any preparation te make some remarks, as was announced, upon his observations made while in China and Japan, and would say for the benefit of these who were net members of the church that it is the custom, by order of the general conference, te have missionary agents te visit every two years the mis sienary fields of the church. About five years age it was bis duty te visit India, and while in the old world he also was iu Germany, Norway, Denmark and Italy. Twe years age be was appointed te visit Mexico, and then China and Japan, in which latter countries he spent about eight months. The bishop premised he would confine his remarks only te the customs and institutions of these countries. He was struck by the wide contrast in the manner of living between the two nations, although the probabili ties are tbat tbe Chinese are of the same great branch of the human family as the Japanese. Fer example, the Japanese always sit and lie upon the fleer ; be bad never seen a bedstead among them. Their bed is of straw and mattress, and the pillow is the same in both countries, being a block of weed scalloped out for tbe reception of the neck. As instances of their different modes of action the speaker said the Ja panese in using a saw, saw upwards ; the Chinese the reverse, and in China drawing the plane, chopping, chiseling, in fact, almost everything that is done by band, is executed contrary te our modes. Iu the matter of dress the Chinese are very different from the Japanese. Instead of the multifarious and familiar dress of the former the latter have a long wrap per fastened by a belt around the waist. Anieug these people the spirit and general character and appearance are very marked. Among the Japanese the size and appear anca of each are exesedinsly alike. The Cbi- nese vary much in size. These whom we are accustomed te see it is true, are generally Km.ill in statnre. but thav mnat.lv rnmn 1 small in stature, but they mostly raAMl Al- wwwv w AA tf1- MAHnn mbY-aa A1aA V, ; i uuiu mu piuviuue ui vmiuiuu, wusru LUill i is a prominent characteristic. In japan the common people are almost naked, in China they are all clothed, seme very humbly, but neatly. The Japanese are very easy te approach, the Chinese arc opposite. Iu Japan the bishop wa3 greet ed friendly, and every where was saluted with "Oie "which there means, "Have you had your breakfast ?" equivalent te our " Hew de you de ? Apropos of this, the bishop related that while General Bingham, of Ohie, was in that country he was se continually greeted with this salu tatien by the children that he won wen deringly wanted te knew of a friend "hew de these little people knew I am from Ohie?" and it appeared quite a distinction that these far-off people should se well ap preciate Ohie, and ber characteristic pre ductien of great men. Tbe bishop was struck with the generous and open spirit of the Japanese, and told several instances of their easy, yet well bred familiarity. In their country the ladies are en the street as among us, but in China tbe better clasa of ladies Confine themselves te their homes. It is among this class of the female popu lation of China that the small feet are found, and it is there a common sight te see a lady weighing perhaps '150 pounds, hobble about with a cane iu each hand, en her dis torted feet. Among the common class of women, however, this custom is net in vogue, and they have feet as large as the ladies of Chicago, or St. Leuis, between which two citiep, the bishop incidently re marked, there is great rivalry as te the size of tbe ladies' feet. Japan is an assemblage of islands, 3,000 small ones and 4 large ones. These little islands are of a conieal shape invariably, never flat like these in our Susquehanna, and indicate that they were thrown up by volcanic power. They are cultivated from bottom te top, and are always fresh and green. The large islands are net less tilled. Among the natural attractions the bishop mentioned the Fusiyama, a mountain of volcanic formation 13,000 feet bight, which he had seen in wonderful beauty at sunrise and sunset. Among the Japanese there is a strong element of pro gress, and they have adopted much that is customary with Christianized nations. The government requires all governmental officials te dress in European style, only wearing a badge te indicate their rank. The government has set apart every seventh day as a day of rest, still it is in no sense a Sabbath day ; it is distinctly a time for cessation from toil, but it is in many ways cenvemcut te missionaries in their work. They have also adopted much of our system of education. The bishop had visited a kindergarten school, where be found many chil dren taught te sew, paint and draw. He bad also observed tbat the little girls had their hair banged like American girls. But be proved that bangs were an insti tution of civilization borrowed from China and Japan, where ene style of head dress is worn until a certain age, then another style is adopted, and after the girls are married they wear the hair in a way te in dicate that they are no longer in the mar ket. In tbe high schools, where boys and girls attend, separately, the system of education is very creditable, and every well-learned Japanese can read Chinese, as can the edncatcd Chinese read Japanese. The government has adopted the idea that tbe people should be taught tbe Western languages, but se distinguish them that these engaged in the navy speak English, these in the army French and these in medicine (te complete the study of which it takes 14 years,) and in science, German . The great error in this is tbat these in these different avocations cannot communicate with each ether in these different tongues, and must naturally fall back te the native language. The speaker gave several in teresting examples te show hew eager were the Japanese for knowledge, and their intelligence and readiness te accept the Christian doctrine. Considering China proper, tbe bishop said that it was about 1,200 miles iu length and 1,500 miles in width, with ever three million square miles. The country is a marvelleus one. Its great river is the Yang-tse-Kiang, which is nearly equal te the Mississippi. The largest vessels can navigate np 1,500 miles from its mouth, then for about 300 miles it is narrow and shallow, but above that for a distance of 500 or GOO miles large vessels can again sail. The valleys are cultivated te tbe utmost extent, and rice, tea, cot ton and peppy, for the manufacture of opium, are grown. Passing np towards Pekin, the country leeks' like a succession of gardens, the small farms being divided into patches of ground by narrow paths ; but with all tbe neatness and beauty, the bishop would put Lancaster county ahead of it, for what is done here is effected by superior scientific force, while in China tbe farm work is almcst all performed by hand, what few implements the Chinese have . being ex tremely primitive and rude. The bishop gave some further interesting accounts of the mode of cultivating the soil. told of the gtvin ui ua style of traveling, and of tbe great wall 40 t. k.

In China then is a mmi reed system of 'saltan feci time immesserial than baa bsesi a sfHsm of examination, enforced sewar nfidtjr as ever, aaeeag the male popahmesi, which takes place first in the. towns in which they may live, next in the capitals of the respeetive provinces and then at the national capital. This examination ia in all their dairies and there are an immense number of them, making 70 or 80 well sired volumes. These classics were collected and arranged byConfucieuSjbutthey are still being very slowly increased by additional classies by learned modern teachers. The bishop had seen these classics engraved en marble slabs in a large building called tbe Hall of Learning. A certain knowledge of tbe classics must be acquired, and then the first examination takes place. The student is placed in a small closed stall with nothing in but a table and writing material, and gets little feed. Ont of about 15,000 of these persons examined at ene time rarely mere than 15 or 20 pass. These are given a badge and are are accorded a geed measure of respect. At tbe capital of the province they go through the second examination, about the same manner as at the first, and here out of 10,000 or 15,000, net mere than 25 are successful. This examination is a higher one, and these who pass it are beginning te be entitled te office. At Pekin tbe third examination is gene through. Here 10 or 15 out of thousands pass, and these are entitled te the highest position in the government, except that of emperor, and when one is wanted he is chosen. Then these 10 or 15 pass a fourth examination in the imperial palace, and the successful ones are immediately placed in office. The women are very little cultivated, although several schools for girls are being opened through the influence of American and European people. As te their religion, they have Confucianism, which is nothing but a system of morals ; Tauism and Buddhism, all blended and making a cor rupt system tbat has as many contradic tions and inconsistencies as can well be imagined. The bishop then gave seme account of their worship, the influence they attribute te their geds.and the power of the Fungschu', against which nothing can be effected and which is a most potent influence retarding improvement and elevation among tbe Chinese. As an in stance, tbe bishop told that a coal mine had been openod near a town, an un- ! usually severe storm arose and it was altribted te the wrath of the Fnngschui, , .... .... " wne was curagca at wnac was going en. The inhabitants compelled all work te cease. The bishop closed his remarks with seme very highly eulogistic words upon the Chiucse ami their country, and said that he was amazed when he learned of the passage of the law prohibiting tbem from our shores, iln believed they are destined te be a mighty people. UUUU FRIDAY. Its Commemoration by tne Churches. Geed Friday, tbe commemoration of Christ's crucinsieu for the sins of the world, is universally recognized through out the Christian world as a day when the thoughts of men should mera espec ially revert te the great sacrifice made by the Creater in their behalf. Besides being a legal holiday, when banks and schools are closed, it is also made the occasion of special observances in nearly all the churches. The services in the Catholic churches partake of the extreme solemnity of the day. Ne sacri fice of the mass is offered, but a bare representation of the passion is enacted. Tracts and lessens from tbe prophets are read containing tbe predictions of the Re deemers coming and his reception, and these are followed by the history of the passion by St. Jehn, te show the accuracy with which the facts corresponded with the predictions. In St. Mary's. At St. Mary's church at the 8 a. m. ser vices after the unveiling of the cress dur ing the singing of the Antipheu, " Ecce Signum Crucis," and responses by the choir, the congregation approached the altar railing te venerate the sacred em blem. The host te be used in the services was then carried from the altar of repose te the tabcrnacle in the main altar in a precession led by a number of little girls wearing white veils and scattering-flowers iu the pathway of the celebrant. The ser vices concluded with brief vespers in which the Psalms chosen ha 1 special relation te the memorable event. The stations of the'"4" cress were recited at 3 p. m., the hour at which historians agree tbat tbe Saviour expired. In the ether Catholic churchee of the city there were fitting services. Iu tbe I'recestant Churches. At St. James' Episcopal church special services were held at 10:30 a. m., when psalms significant, of the day commemor ated were lecitcd, and ether rites et like character were celebrated. In the ether Protestant churehes there were special services commemorative of the significance of the occasion. The banks and schools are cle3ed te-day the pupils having vacation until Tues daybat regular hours are observed at the posteffice. n OIUXUAUV. The Death et James Caivin.
