Repairing the jAtt. Tho Grand jury
in thuir Report, among other things,
spoke of tlid county jail lx-ing in a riilnpi
tlatud condition, ftnd rctioiiuncmls ila n
tiatr, mhiiittiiij: the necmsity it a in w
one, but Baying that "this wai uot the pro
per time to build one." We should like to
know whether tho proper time will ever
arrive iu the estimation of those who re
faso to biinctiou a measure which they
themselves ackuowlcgcil to be proper
und neccssury. Iu the first plaou the fail
cannot bo repaired to make it secure unless
it is rebuilt. Admitting that it might bo
repaired, at A heavy cost, it would bo that
. kind of false economy practiced by u farm
er, who, iu ten years, expeuded more mo
ney in repniriug an old barn, than it would
hive cost him tolmild a new one, and had
nothing but a rickety old barn f'ir his trou
ble. Every dollar expended iu repairing
the bid jail is thrown away, while, a new
oue Is not only ncccesary, hut wnuld prove
a great savinr to the county by keeping its
own convicts and prisoners.
Increamc of Jritoiis Fa v. Wo hear
complaints (hiring every court, that the pay
of Jurors is nut bufllcient to repay the ex
penses of Jury mcu while attending court.
Tho wages of Juwrs was reduced several
years ago to one l."0 w:ta per day. This
amount scarcely pays their boarding.
We arc also informed that there arc instan
ces where Jurymen who could nut allbrd it
gave various excuses for nou attetidauce.
This amouut is certainly not stillic.ii.nt and
we trust that some measures will be taken
during the present session of the Legisla
ture, to increase Jurors pay to two dollars
per day. We are satisfied that no tax pay
er will object to an increase particularly if
he has ever been a Juryman himself.
TujEi'osTAL Tkleokai'H. Powerful ef
fect are iu operation to preveut Congress
from adopting the ' postal telegraph" sys
Jem by the government, as recommended
by the Postmaster General. The tele
graph, one of the greatest inventions of the
ajie, has bceu comparatively of but little
benefit to the groat mass of people, simply
because it has always been in tho bauds of
monopolists and speculators. Outside of
the great cilics, where leading newspapers,
bankers, brokers and speculators use it ex
tensively, and are cf course well sorved by
tho monopolists, the telegraph has been al
most a failure. One thing is certain, that
there is less telegraphing done now in many
places among ordinary business men iu
tho country than there was eighteen years
ago. These are facts that can be proved.
The cau.ie of all this is owing to the fact
that the monopolists not only raised the
tariff of rales aboutlOO percent., but were
bo disobliging and negligent that few per
sons resorted to the telegraph except in
eases of absolute necessity. Rut the time
is coming, aud is rut now far distant,whcn
messages will be conveyeu 'o any part of
the Union, cast of the Pacific Stales, for
ten cents. There s not one objection that
can be urged against the government as
suming the telegraph that won't apply
with equal force to our present postal sys
tem. They are bolh vehicles for the con
veyance of information. Ono writes what
hi has to say iu Philadelphia on paper and
sends it by steam to Rostou. Another, in
greater haste, employs an agent to write
t. Ii it ho lias to sa', with a pen reaching
lroiu Philadelphia to Boston. Practically,
the operation is the same, and why should
the government find it necessary to control
ono aud ignore the other? If the carry
ing of letters was in the hands of monop
olists, as they are iu some countries at
this day, the rates would bo us prohibitory
and the accommodations as unsatisfactory
us those of th lelegrnph are now.
The Governor Message. Gover
nor Geary's last anu:il message, which
was served to our subcribers in au extra,
is a lengthy doeumeat and reviews with
fullness the various interest of the Slate
which, properly come under Kxecutive and
Legislative notice, and makes a number of
recommendations which merit more or less
iiiteutiun. The financial condition of the
State, according to the Governor, is un
cxeeptiouubly good, the rapid reduction of
the Stale debt and the. reduction of taxa
tion having irono Inud in hand. The
credit of tho S'.ato is excellent, and her
public faith is uuqiicstioni d at home and
(Jiruwl. Tho Governor calls attention to
tho importanco of the adoption of a more
liberal rmlii-y towards industrial enterprises
which employ largo mi ml r of workmen
and which tcud to develop the n sources of
the Common wealth. , ilia remarks on this
head merit consideration. Tho importance
of the geological survey is dwelt upon with
considerable force, as it has been in pre
vious messages, and tho attention of the
Legislature is, called to the necessity for
a more extensive and esact survey than
has yet been made.
There aro a uuuiber of other mutters recom
mended which will attract the attention of
our legislator to act upon during tho pro-

Tun United States SEVATORsnir.
In a caucus of the Republican members of
tho legislature, held at Harrlsburg on
Tuesday evening last, Senator Cameron
was renominated as a candidate for the
United States Scnatorshlp. The vote stood
03 for Hon. Siraou Cameron 4 for lion.
Wm. D. Kelley, and 2 for Professor Wicker
Sham. Thorn were soventy-ono members
present and sis absent. Of the absentees
several wore severely indisposed. After
the formal ballot was announced tho nomi
nation of Gun, Cameron was mado unani
mous. Tho Hatrisburg Tdajraph, speak
ing of tho nomination makes the following
truthful remarks :
"The people decided the question of
United States Senatorship at tho last elec
tion iu a voico not to be misunderstood.
Gen. Kartrnuft was announced, by all tho
opposition papers in aud out of tho State,
as tho Cameron candidate f.ir Governor ;
and it was also declared by them that the
election of that distinguished gentleman
would endorse the Hon. Simon Cameron
and secure his re-election to the Ssnatc.
Well, tl.o people decided by the unprece
dented majority of nearly thiktv-six
thousand ihat Gen. Ilartranft should be
Governor, and Simon Cameron United
States Senator," and the Representatives of
that people ratified the decision last even
ing by the tiu'auimoustiomiiiatiun tendered
to him.
We know that Gen. Cameron had at one
time determined to retire from public life ;
but as the State canvass opened it was soon
made manifest that, even hi political oppo
nents would not let him have the desired
rest,; no tlierelorn accepted the challcnjres
so irequentiy tendered, and the issue was depth than in this part or the Stale. Iu
fairly presented to the people mid decided i is not necessary for us to remind lumber
as we have stated. nitMJ u,at a vast" difference exists between
jhu it is not only ilio Itepubheans that :
nave cause, to rejoice over the re-uomina-
1 1 on of (teu. Cameron; the people of the
whole State have a right to rejoice; they
know Hint they have u steadfast advocate
of all their interests iu their present Sena
tor. jcver lias he violated t!in solemn
trust confided to him, and no matter where
other members stand, Simon Cameron has
always been the steadfast advocate of the
best interests of his native Statu ; and hav
iug been tried aud not found waulinsr, tho
paoplo have determined to continue him at
Washington another term to take care of
tits welfare of tho Kevstone State."
Tim Constitutional Convention resumed
its scssiou on Tuesday last, at Philadel
phia. The place of meeting is tho old
church on Spruce street, below Sixth, which
has been handsomely fitted up for the pur
pose by Councils. Hitherto the proceed-
inssoftho convention linve been merely 5l hifl l,lu n,"'Ul' ready to sally out
formal or preliminary. No the real work j
will be commenced, arid it is to be hoped tll0 energy to carry sound plaus for wtl'ety

W'u are frequent ly utkoil whether we sup
port C. Tower, Esq., for United Slates
Senator. Vo answer in the. negative. We
do nut consider that Mr. T. has any claims
whatever for the .N natirnliip. lie has had
no experience in a legislative capacity, nod
he has but blender equina on the Kepubli-
c'in party. Sueli is l!u. general sentiment
among the. Hepuhlieaus of Schuylkill except
probably three or four. Had .1 udge Kelley,
Judge Seolield, or Ilia Hon. Mr. Ki teliuin
been urged as candidates, tin. re is no doubt
but that a large number of tho ltepublicans
w .uMJhavc rallitd to the support of either of
the above named gentlemen. It is well
known that wo have never been classed
among the supporters of (ien. Cameron, be
cause we nave never uumircu his poiuieai
taetii s ; but at the same time we have al-
'.vays been disposed to treat him fairly nnd
approve of his actions when we considered
lliey (leserveil approval but if the contest
is narrowed do n between Cen. Cameron
arid Mr. Tower, we would most d.-cidedly
prefer the re-electron of Cen. Cameron.

An Impending rioort.
Under this caption, the State Journal
indulges in some suggestions which nro so
timely and important that we transfer thimi
to our columns. Tho possibility of a disas
trous freshet as the result of tho unusual
amount of snow which now covers tho
area embraced in tho lumbering region of
the Susquehanna must have occurred to
every rcllecting man iu this community ;
but the more contemplationjof such a pos
sibility will not avail us anything if we
uegleel to adopt the precautions wisely
suggested by the Journal. Wo commend
tho article to the thoughtful consideration
of the parlies interested, and trust that
every means may be adopted which can
in any degree tcud to protect properly now
exposed to destruction or damage Irom
this source. The Journal says :
"It may seem like borrowing trouble to
remind our readers, and particularly thoso
living long the shores of the Susquehanna
river and its tributaries, that an immense
March or spring flood is impending, and
which may even occur before that time.
Two years ago we had a flood in January,
after which the Susquehanna did not closo
uutil late tho following full. Light years
ago, we had almost as much snow as we
have now, aud then wo had a flood une
qualled for its volumu of water and des
truction of life and property for many
years before. In that case much of this
could have been preserved, had "proper
precaution been taken in lime , but the
people along the river and the properly ou
Us banks were not prepared for the danger
when it burst upon them, and as a conse
quence lives were lost and property des
troyed which ought to have been taved.
"The snow at this lime in tho forests of
the uorthcrn couutics is even of greater
that region uow and that of twenty
thirty years ago. Twenty years ngo there
, were localities in the forests named in
; which snow lay until May. The thaw
whs then gradual, because of the dense
shade of the trees, but. the changes which
j have since been made, leaving immense
I open tracts of country, where the snow
j accumulates in stupendous quantities,
, such as cover so many parts of tho State
j this winter. A week of mild weather
; six days of warm sunshine on the snow
' and ice of Clearfield county, any time dur
' im February or March, will send a rush
I of water into tho Susquehanna which
! would make a flood of unprecedented des-
Iructiyeness. Now is tho time to prepare
' for such an emergency. Kvcry weak point
along the river must be lookid to, and
; wherever movable property is stored with
, in reach of water marks of previous floods,
! it oti'-Ut to be removed beyond tho des-
troy ,;r, that like a wild beast, is conceal, d
