E qßing"newspapera of Penn
sylvania take a peculiar sort of pride
in tittnCking Governor Geary on all
6ectisionsl'enti yet they claim, all the
while, to be the organs of the Repub ,
limn party in this State ; but let the
cotti-ring papers shoW up the mrrupt
practices of Senator's Cameron or
State Treasurer Mackey, anti they
are forthwith "reed out" of the Re
publican party. It makes a wonder
ful difference to these "ring organs"
whose os is gored.
A vtGonous effort , has been made
in fora few weeks past, by the
anti-tempevnee men of that State, to
have the pr&-ent stringent license law
repealed. A remonstrance against
the proposed repeal was laid before
the AweitiblY a few days ago • signed
by seven:htpd, red and sixty-six con-
victs444:thePenitentiary, all of whom
ask tlist.the law be left untouched.
Four hthadred and ninety-two of th es e
seven hundred and sixty-six convicts
declare iu the petition that they were
brought .to the penitentiary by the
use of intoxicating liquors, and all of
them are convinced from hitter per-
sonat experience that it,ie "the great
' source of the crime, pauperism and
'suffering that prevail in the State."
Wl:nent would but weaken the tre
mendous argument.
THE remqns of a woman, murder
ed, were founaTiearJohnstownAltm
bria county; on raS-t . Friday morning.
A man named 'Jam Shriver first
came across the body, abd while away
notifying others of what he saw, the
tairtierer seems to have returned,
-and, gathering up some le.tve:i - itrid.
brush set fire to them with a view of
-burning up the tx:frpse of his 14ctirn.
The body was horribly mutilated by
'the fire, so disfigured in fact, that
recognition was impossible. Intense
excitement exists in that vicinity at
the pres-nt time, but evidence suffi-
cient to base an arrest upon, was not
oLtained up until last Monday. The
general belief was that the woman's
name was Amborlin, a lady aged
about 35 or 40 y6ars. Mrs. Amber
lin was but slightly known in Johns
town, having come to that place re
cently from Ohio. Her intention was
to open a millinery store in Johns-
town within a few days. • The travits
of a man leading from the scene of
the ►ntirder.were followed in the di
rection or:a Mr. _Moore's, mill some

Tut: number of committees 'ap
pi 'lilted by the Pennsylvania Legis

practices of "outsiders" are almost
numerous to keep the run-iif ; in
•fart, taking Mr. Billiugfelt's word
for it there are hardly senators and
members enough just now to till
them. While therefore, the com mt
tee business seems so popular would
it be very much out of Mace for the
people themselves to organize, a few
committees and send them to Harris
burg to investigate the money ma•
king habits of the Members of the
Assettrbly From what we hear
laterkive judge that it is every fel
low fur himself over - there and the
Devil for the commonwealth. Some
of the members, it seems; cat be
bribed to leave Harrisburg on special
occiisions ; ot hers can he "persuaded"
to forget that they were "paired,"
and generally speaking, "itching
palms" can be• grasped whenever
they MT sought. A little search into
the btrzihes.s transactions of the mem-
berB, might serve to show their eon-
stitacuts how it is that so many of
the former who go to Harrisburg
quite poor, make out, on a- thousand
dollar salary,tocome home quite rich.
The information would no doubt be
useful - to all concerned.
Fox three or four years past, the
peons composing- what is known as
the "State Treasury King," have ne
glected no opportunity to attack
Governor Geaiy. KnoWibg that he
stood higher in the estimation of all
honest men than themseOes, they I
have persistently sought to blacken
his character ; and although profess- I
ing to lie Republicans, they did their

ELsr.witEßE in this-week'sAnGus,
will he found the details of a remarka
ble transaction, said to have occurred
in the Let.Tlslature at Harrisburg, as
long ago as the 19th of January. it
comes to us at this late date frbm the
Newvork Tribunc,aud it was not until
it appeared in that paper last week
that the least publicitywasgiven to the
affair by any of our own State's news-
papers. This is a burning shame on
Harrisburg Journalism, and suggests
the idea that they are all, in some
way or another, under the control or
influence of the Legislature or the
State officials. Look at the evidence
that suclk a condition of 'things pre
vail there. The Tribune says "On
the 19th of January, Mr. Cooper
(Rep.) came into the /rouse of Rep
resentatives, toward the close of the
morning hour, and endeavored to
bringperciresthat body a resolution of
inquiry, but before the purport of hie
resolution appeared, a well known
leader of the "Third House" hurried
ly went upon the floor, and immedi
ately, by a movement known to the
- initiated as the "Harrisburg flurry"
the 'session was broken up rather thau
adjourned." Now does any sane per'
SOD believe that ull this could :hive
occured in the . House of Representa
tives on the 19th oT January, and
none of the Harrisburg newspapers,
•Or the "brave" little army of corn%
porideuts:•who :are tjoaddled there;
know nothing about it ?• Impassible;
and the preaumption. cannot be got
rid of that the whole batch of the m .
aro either under ply the Legisla
ture or in the : employ of State officials
whose business transactions will not
admit the shedding”of a little light
npon them. ' •
Since the 'Tribune exposed the
whole matter, sonic iecognition of it
had to be taken by LW Legislature,
and accordingly.the subject was iiis
cussed in the Senate on last Thurs
day, and after the explosion of a good
deal of virtuous indignation, it was
referred to the committee having in•
charge the Evans investigation. The
vote on investigation was 18^yeas, and
10 nay „Speaker Rutan voting with
the latter. The charges, therefore,
will be inve s tigated--whether thor
oughly or not remains to be seen—
and we await with no little anxiety
the result. In the meantime, we di
rect the attention of our readers to
the article from the Tribune, above
referred to, and ask them to study
and reflect upon its specific allega
tions.

Itobbittg the Ylatils
For some months past the little
village of Belvidere, on the Western
division of the Erie Railway, has
been the scene of several mail robber_
ies, and the United States authorities
have finally traced the perpetration
of the crime to. Harry W. Bullock,
the postmaster at that place, and he
was arrested on Saturday. The evi
dence against the accused appears to
be conclusive, and he has been sus
pected of tampering with the mails
fur a year past. His plan of opera
tion has been as follows: The train
that leaves the mall at Belvidere does
not stop, and the bag is throWn off,
generally at night. It would then
be taken, rifled and hidden away.
The last time a bag disappeared was
in the early part of the present month.
It had been placed on the crane by
the agent on No. 12, which was late
that night, and was taken off, and
next morning the Postmaster report
ed to inquirers after mail matter that
none had arrived. The bag contained
a number of registered letters and
$5,000 in bonds, and a few days after
v:ard the latter were found secreted
under a fence about half a mile west
of a station, and near by was a num
, her of registered letter_ envelopes
which had been rifled' of their con
tents. This being the thl'id or fourth
time the bag had disappeared in a
similar manner, theSpeclal Agent
'determined to disco - Nier the robber of
robbers. Strongly suspecting- Post
master Bullock, he decided to bait
him with decoy registered letters.
Several of these, at different tunes,
were sent addresr,ed tokertain •per
sans at Belvidere, who were posted
In the matter, the letters being mail
ed on the train just' before it reached
the station. nine of these. letters
ever reached the parties 10' whom
they were addressed, tha 'postmas
ter assuring them that nosuckletters
had ever been received at the Belvi
dere office. This decided the Agtmt,
and he at once made a chargeagainst
Bullock of rubbing the United States
mail, and he was arrested as statedi
He w very much surprised when
the arrest was made., and declared his
innocence of the charge. He waived
anexamination before United` States
Commissioner Wood, and gave bonds'
for his appearance at the next term
of the United States Courtat Utica
for trial.

US a peculiar kind ofsnow. It would
pack au 4 soon lieeome hard as ice.
The snow plows, driven up against
it with the United force of four loco
motives, would hardly make an Im
pression. The only way to get it out
was to dig trenches every six feet
down to the rails, and then use the
snow plows. But this was -not al
ways successful. At one time three
engines were thrown from the track
and the snow plow mashed trying to
zet.through, when to the eye it`seem
ed that one engine could go through
without difficulty. At some points
says' a letter writer, I have seen the
snow soqiard that the engines would
leave the rails and run right up upon
it, mounting it us though it vas
flint rock. You would not believe
that, unless you could see it, but it is
true. I did not believe it till I saw
it, for it seems incredible. •

Ma.DiTon.4L•Your corregpripd
v w ho has fur- many years been
inquiring who are these two witness
es; what a pity he did not make his
wants known to the readers of the
ARGUS before 'this. Your. Wend t !
Homo, would hove been glad to have
relieved his mind on this all ',impor
tant subject. The "two witnesses"
brought to view in i.e.v xi, 3; which -
reads as follows ',: "And 1 wili k ttive
power unto my, two witumes, and
they shall prophesy a thousand two
hundred and t hreescoredays, clothed
in sackcloth." In the:first place, let
it be rein e w beredilfaliwe are dealing
with symbols. ISoinei have the Idea,
that these two :Witnesses are liteml,
which is absorb when followed ,out
in all fts consequences. Some think,
they are Enoch and Elijah ; but
will notice briefly the results-df such
a theory. TheSe witnesses aresaid to
be "the twoolive trees and the• two
candlesticks sittnding, before the . God
of the earth." : Why not contend that
-they are literalty "two' olive trees,q.
dr "candlesticks?" We have as good
reason to supp Use them to be - literal
olive trees ancLeandiesticks as iiien:
-Again, to,suppase that the "two wit;.
-rtesses,"'ef Jeoli Christ,, in' the; per-
son of two men, are yet to traverse'
earth's'surface, dbelching forth literal'
fire from their niouths and destroy,
lug their enemies, which these wit
, ne-ses are said to do (see versoli),. is
an idea unworthy of being entertain. ed. Again, itis said that, after they
have finished their testimony in sack
cloth, they nre to be killed by a
"beast nut of - the bottomless' pit,"
which beast Must be literal;. provid
ing the witnesses are such. We will
nut do violent* to symbolic prophesy
which those do who make thime wit
nesses literal, and yet admit-that the
"holy city" is symbolic .oflhe true
church. A witness igloo Av i la) gives
testimony• testimony N r .o 1 two
hinds—verbal and written. —: The lat

For instance, you may proiltilitwen

duce a receipt, in your hand writing,'
with your signature annexed for the
alleged sum, your twenty witnesses
flies before it,and their entire testimo- '
ny is outweighed by thissatie*tuess.
The "t wo witnesses" as we have seen
