With tills number the Coi.umuian enters
Its tenth year, ami tho Forty-first of the
Dkmociut, which wni merged Into It. Wo
hope to receive, tlio contlnucil support of our

ones.
Every cfl'ort will bo used to make tho Co

On Monday last thcro was a gathering in
this place, of our outgoing and incoming
county odleers, and tho latter were sworn
and inducted Into ollico under the provislins
of tho new Constitution.

tho usefulness of intelligent Associate

John Hcrncr has been re-elected Com
missioner, and by his past experience can do
much to aid tho' new Hoard, especially in
matters pertaining to tho South side of the

ls.i new member of tho Board of Com
missioners, but 13 an apt business man, lion
est, and m overy way capable to fill tho
position to which ho has been chosen.
Joseph Sands, elected by the Republicans,
is a good business man, and has the confi
dence of both parties. Tho Stato cry of
"jobs" made by weak-minded Republican
editors should cease with tho election of
Mr. Sands as a Commissioner.
Tho Treasurer olect, Dr. McReynolds, wo
aro glad to learn will remove to Bloomsburg,
and givo tho oflico his personal supervision.
In him tho County will find a faithful
guardian of its Treasury.
Tho Auditors, Messrs. Kline.of Catawissa
Casey, of Bloom, and Brown, of Mifllin, are
peculiarly competent for their position, and
will carefally scrutinizo each item of ac-
counts presented to them. The oflico
County Auditor is an important one, and it
is n matter or congratulation that such ex
cellent men were selected.
Upon tho whole, the peoplo should be
proud of tho honesty and ability of thci
chosen agents; and whatever may happen in
other Counties, wo have no reason to fear
mistaken or corrupt administration.
Tho outgoing oflicers deserve credit for the
impartial and economical conduct of our
County affairs. Their duties were not at all
times pleasant, but they did what they
coum under tlio circumstances for tho inter
ests of tho tax-payers.

The council of Tlymouth church struck tho

and gave her reasons for not attending, re

asking for a council of churches to judge

In addition to this, Frank Moulton has
prosecuted Beecher for malicious prosecution.
It will bo remembered that Beecher had

defendant demanded a trial, tho prosecution
dropped tho case. But Moulton, with his
usual d'etermination,intend3 that ho shall be

Wc commend, however, to his attention
tho following from the MethodUt, a leadin

try is toleration of all sects.
Keep out of
this political secret bociety.
TIIK llANKIUJl'T LAW.
Wo aro informed that at a meeting of tho
principal business men of Pittsburg and vi
cinity resolutions wero adopted condemna
tory of tho present bankrupt law as tending
to unsettle trado and mercantile coufldeuce
by opening a path to fraud, and calling upon
congress for necessary legislation to abate
this great and growing evil. A memorial to
congress was prepared to bo circulated for
signature and forwarded during the present
session, and a call upon congressmen from
this and adjacent districts was adopted ask
ing them for their hearty co-operation nud
aid In support of this measure.
This is right. The law enabled a few hon
est men to start life anew, and a great many
scoundrels to cheat their creditors, and get
r.ch by failing.
Congress resumed work on Tuesday. The
legislature also met ou Tuesday, The Sen
ate organized by going through tho form uf
.1 new election, tho Democrats not voting,
'xho Hernia took the position by a vote of 10(5
to6l that the present session was simply an
u'Jjourned one and should resume legislation
Vhere it was loft.

THE
TUB "WOUKINGMAV FLOUNDERING,
Wo aro moro amused than surprised at tho
political somersaults of the Labor Reform
organ. Its gymnnstlcal performances nt
tlrst excited surprise; but a moro thorough
study of tho leaders of tho party and tho
backers of tho paper convinced us that self
Interest rather than principle dictated their
action,
Wo arc heartily In accord with professed
principles of tho Labor Reform organiza
tion, and to tho extent of our ability havo
aided It with voice and pen. But when It
panders to tho Republican party, which en
acted tho very evils it deprecates when
Cameron, Mackey, Humphreys and that
Ilk control its leaders and organization, tho
fact speaks louder than words.
Let us illustrate. Tho organization spoke
bravely against land grants. Why not
against Government subsidies? Tho former
takes vacant lands, but tho latter depletes
tlio Treasury of money. But, says the
political economist of tho Worklngman,
"Thero is this difference between the Co
LUMlilAN nnd tho orkingman. Tho for
mer Is oposcd "not only to land-grants, hut
to subsidies. Tho latter Is opposed to land
grants to corporations, but deem" it not only
tho priyllego but thoduty of the government
to alst with its credit all great Industrial
undertakings, when It can bo done, without
danger of loss, so as to give idlo peopl
employ, and thereby, In the languago of th
constitution, to "promote tho general wcl
fare."
In other words a liusro enterprise, headed
by rail road magnates, corrupt officials, Con
struction Companies, and tho lobby.
acknowledges that it has not funds enough
of its own to complcto tho job, and asks tho
Government to guarrantco or endorse its now
worthless bonds, and become tho real party
to the transaction, and breathe life into
dead corporation.

people, and the peoplo pay tho money mtp.1

cue .treasury, not 10 lostcr lnuiviuiiai or cor

legitimate expenses of governmental ad
ministration. If tho Texas Pacific scheme
is to ho aided from tho common Treasury
wliy not the Northern I'acilic, and every
rail road, State or national overy colliery
in a word, every speculator.
These corporations are sonlloss. They
squeeze large dividends from the passenger,
and from tho shipper of goods. The stock'
holders are intent on making money ,and In
sist that tho peoplo must help them do it,
nnd then in return rob tho people. Wc op-
pose all such robbery.
CATAWISSA AGAIN.
The Columbian takes kindly to that
ancient town of bad side-walks nnd protu
berant porches, and having told its inhabi
tauta tho christened name of their habita
tion, of courso wo yield epaco to tho follow
ing reply, which ia fall of facts not gener
ally known.
Eds. Columbia N.1
Catawissa is located on tho left bank of
the Susquehanna at tho month of the Oat a
wissa Crok. Its aborigines wero tho
"Gangaweso or Conoyo Indians," belonging
to one of tho divisions of the "Lenni Len
apo nation," called tho Moiiseys, or Wolf
tribes. Tho creek abovo mentioned was
termed by them "Catawcse," or rendered in
to English signifies "puro water ;" and by
identifying tho name the Indians gave to
tho creel: with tho present name of tho town,
it is evident that it is derived from "C.ita
wese." At least wo aro warranted to pro
sumo so, until the contrary bo shown. Tho
first authentic account wo have of its set
tlement was the granting by Patent, of two
hundred and eighty-two acres, aud ono
quarter of an acre, on which part of the
town now stands by the Honorable the
Proprietaries of Pennsylvania to Edward
Shippen Jr., and Joseph Shippcn Jr., tho
Mth, of I- ebruary, 1770, who by their in
denture on the 1st of May, 1773,granted tho
same unto Ellu Hughes in fee; who, with
Hannah, his wife, by their indenture of the
27th day of Jone, 1778, granted ninety-two
acres and one quarter of an acre, part of
the above mentioned tract, unto William
Hughes who laid out the town in the year
1787. Up to this date the town was known
as Catawissa, at tho time of its being granted
it was called "Cataweso or Law-paugh-petin's
town," but afterwards it became ang
licised, and was called Catawissa, In
tho last week issiuo of the Columbian I
find there was a little conflict of opinion
among several antiquarians relative to Cata
wissa, ever being called "Hnghesburg."-! do
not wish to act as a mediator in tho matter,
yet as the settlement of CaUwihsa is not the
most important event in modern history, I
desire to write a few words iu relation to tho
issue between the two gentlemen, I have
mentioned that tho town of Catawissa was
laid out in tho year 1787, by Wo. Hoghes.
Up to that dato it was known as Catawissa,
hut directly after tho town was laid out by
the;
entlenien before montioned it was called
Hughesburg, and as late as the year 17HH
was called by that name. It may bo asked
whero I obtain tho authority for this state
ment. I would reply by saying that I have
access to certain deeds made during the early
history of Pennsylvania, which have the
name of 'Hughesburg" mentioned. I have
also been informed by several old residents
of our town, that it was nt one timo called
Hughetburg." When the town resumed its
primitive name, I am unable to say. Among
tho early pioneers of tho town were
James Watson, Ecnton,Sharplcss, and other
Quakers. In 1790 an addition was mado to
the town by Jamts Watson. In conclusion
I will only say that all that remaius of the
early setlcrs is tho Quaker meeting-house
which looms up among tho trees that sur
round it, as a venerable monument of tho
past.

DEUT STATEMENT
Wash ikqton. Jan. 3. The debt Btate
ment for Leceniber shows an increase of
1,015,002. 70, compared with an increase
during December, 187-1, of ga,Coy,y07. 8a.
Duriug the lute campaign radical editors
and orators claimed that their party was in
favor of retrenchment and reform, and ou
that ground appealed to tho tcope for con
tinucd support. Tho election is over and the
truth now ccnus to light. In a year the
national indebtedness iicrrui over three
and a half million of dollars. There is no oc
casion for this. Despite hard times tho
peoplo nro taxed iu heavily as ever, Wo
cannot expect any redrew from so profligate
a party. Its defeat will insure honesty and
oconomy in Government.
One of tho happiest Centennial thoughts
is that of the Irish Catholic socloties which
lave determined to mako no parade upon
Patrick's day, reserving their celebration
for tho Fourth of July, It Is tviecially
fitting that In tho coming year all differences
f nationality should be forgotten in the re
joicings of a united peeple,uud the membeti
of those societies have done well in giving
this evidence of (boir patriotic feeling. It
Is uot that they Uve Ireland lew, but that
they love America more.

COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT, BLOOMS.BURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA
A Word (o Our LfRlslntnrc.
This is tho season of retrenchment nnd
economy. Municipalities, merchnnts, man
ufacturers, all business men, and oven news
paper proprietors, aro cutting down their
forces to tho lcrut available, and othcrwlso
reducing expense wherever practicable
nay, possible. Our Legislature will meet In
n few days. Tho members should fall in
with the spirit of tho age and tho demands
of tho p.ople,aiid reduce forco nnd expenses
In every way not detrimental to tho public
service. Thcro nro so many useless holes
into which tho money of tho Commonwealth
flows unceasingly, that wo cannot cnum rate
them all, but thero nro a few so open nnd
largo that they first nttract attention. When
the Legislature convenes they should stop
them nt once ; they should legislate on the
following points ;
I. Cut ou" all tho supernumeraries, such
as tlio extra array of pasters, folders, door
keepers, assistant scrgcants-at-arms, etc.
These are tlio drones that eat up tho honey
of tho working bees. They nro as useful ns
a city snob on a farm.
II. Reduce tho salaries .of all tho official
about tho Stato Capitol, whero jt can bo
done. Laborers, artisans, ordinary clerks
all cla'ses of hired servico must now tuk
less for the same amount of work, mid most
of these aro producers too, why should not
tho public official, who is no producer?
III. Let each Legislator refuso to take
tho $100 allowed him iu postago stamps.
This costs the State $25,100 per session
whllo $2,i per man, or $0275 is nmply su
ficient. As it Is, stingy members hoard an
sell their surplus, and generous ones giv
them away to friends and needy and seedy
reporters.
IV, A llttlo package of stationery, 1
given each member each winter, for wind
the State is charged 425 each man ; in the
aggregate, $6275. Kow each package
worth no more than $5, or $1255 in all
Thus tho State is cheated outof $5020 again
Let the members do without these, and buy
their stationery, as do honest people, who
scorn to sponge.
V. Purdon's Digests cost $4 a copy Each
member wantB one or more, and usually vote
for them, piling up a bill of $351-1 against
the State annunlly. The members Bluiuld
buy their own Purdon's or do without
them.
VI. The spirit nnd tho letter of our now
Constitution require thnt the fees of county
officials should be turned into the county
city, or State treasuries. A bill providing
for this was once passed, but owing to th
bargain bctwcenllnrtranft and our city nil;
whereby ho hoped to secure a re-election
this was vetoed. Such a bill should be
passed this winter, and sinco Hartrnnlt can
not run again, ho will, perhaps, approve it,
It will save tho people hundreds of thou
sands by reduction of taxes.
It is the duty of tho whole Legislature to
attend to these matters at once. The people
demand it. It is especially the duty of the
Democratic House, who are pledged to ro
trenchmcnt and reform. Otherwise, they
will soon wander in barren plains, where
none of the grass for political fattening
grows, and nono of tho fragrant roses of po
litical honors aro to bo called. Tho peopl
will drive them into the political desert to
fast for more than forty days. Philadelphia
Chronicle.
THAT STATU H0.M).
uur readers may remember that by an
Act of the Legislature passed in 1808 a State
road was authorized to be laid out .in th c
counties of Columbia and Luzerne, com
mencing in Bnarcrcck Township. The
portion lying in this Oonnty was promptly
opened and paid for, but thero was extra
ordinary delay in completing it. When
finished, hbwever, tho Treasurer of Luzerne
refused to pay that County's proportion of
tho expense. On a hearing beforo Judge
Handlcy a mandamus has been granted,
commanding the Treasurer to pay the
amount due.
Shall Centralia and conyngham townships
be attached to Schuylkill county 7 Now
the time to mako the movo gentlemen,
Ashland Advocate.
Our people will havo something to say on
that subject when the timo comes, Brother
Steele. In fact, some of tho townships in
Schnylkill. bordering on Columbia would
like to join us for the sake of securing order
and low taxes.
To the Editors ol the Counra :
Perhaps tho following, which I clip from
religious paper of large circulation, may bo
pleasant reading for your neighbors of the
Republican, and may convey to them n hint,
thnt, if the next Presidential election is to be
conducted on sectarian principles, bldws
may be aimed at moro than one religious or
ganization iu this country. Truo religion
has nothing to gain by any allknco with
party politics.

Cuuncii and State!
Wo find the followinc ominous naraornnh
in n leading political exchange,:
"METHODISTS AND T1IKT1IIHD TEPM.
"Boston, Doe G. At a larzo mo? tW tn.
diy of tho Methodist Episcopal Sabbath
School Union nnd of tho Tract Society, and
also the weekly meeting of preachers, com
prising nearly two hundred ministers, Bish
op Haven urged as a measure of relief for the
public, tne renomiiiauou oi Ueneral Grant
for President, His views wero adopted by
a unanimous vote."
Itmny notbe just clear to every one lmu-
very appropriate it was for a meeting of
perhaps, over two hundred MetbodiBtclcigy
men nnd other leading members, ostensibly
assembled in a Sunday-school and Tract So
ciety Union, to bo voting who should be
nominated for the next President of these
United States. Tho fact that it is well
known that General Grant's family are
members of that church, and that his own
sympathies are in that direction, together
with tho oft repeated charges made against
him for partiality toward Rov. Newman and
other M. E. elergymeu, docs sot Jensen our
surprise at the assumption and most untime
ly action of this ecclesiastical body, Have
they forgotten tho effect of tho Newman Lat
ter upon Mr. Harlan, of Iowa, a few years
ago? General Grant may well proy to be
delivered from his roligious friends if this Is
tho way they propose to help him.
Personally, tho fact that u man is n mem
bcrof tho Methodic church would certainly
bono bar toour political support. But when
ever any ono church in this country, whether
Catholic, Methodist, or any other, assumes
to dictate, it is high time th'cy were invited
by the franchise of the American freemen,
to back seats. Bishop Haven's resolution
will by no means be. accepted as a "measure
of relit f for tho pubnc I"
Wo havo always found much In Pres. Grant
to admire, nnd buvo twioogiven him our voto,
But wo now huve at least thrco reasons why
wo do not desire to give him. a third vote.
First and most important, wo are opposed
to any man's occupying the Presidential
chair for a third term. Second, we want n
President tospoiid more time at Washington
in the discharge of his official duties, and
lees ut Long Branch in sjwirtlng with fast
horses, etc., than the present Incumbent has
done. Third, we are of the opinion that in
tho distributing of official favors be has kept
church and familv!rclatlons a little too close
In view. But greater than all theso object
ions would be one founded upon the tict
thut he is to be a clwrth candidate.

Tlio Legal Statin of Married Wonun In
1'ennsylvnnla.
In tho Penn. Monthly for tho present
month Is a clear and nblo nrticlo on (his
very interesting nnd wo may say important
subject tho gUt of which is lu tho following
summing up :
A married woman Is entitled to mainten
ance by her husband during his lifetime J a
right which she may enforce (If he neglect
or refuso to provldo for herself nnd her
children) by making contracts for necessa
ries, for which he will bo liable. Upon his
death, she Is entitled to common law dower
in tho real estate, after tho payment of all
his debts; if ho dlo Intestate, shoThay have
statutory dower, viz! One-third of tlio real
estate, of which he died seized, for life, and
ono third of tho personal estate absolutely,
In case bo lcavo children, if not, one-Ani" of
tlio personal estate; or, In case ho has left a
will, sho may elect between t.iklng the
legacy therein contained or tlio rights given
her under tlio statute and In addition, $300
of his estate for tho support of herself
and her children Is exempted from sale for
tho payment of his debts,
"In her own property sho is entitled to
tho freo use and enjoyment along with her
husband, and holds it free from any liability
for Ids debts; she is also entitled to her
separate earnings when her intention to
claim them is filed of record. Her property
may be liable for a judgment recovered
ngiiinH him for iter torts, or on n judgment
against bntli on u contract for necessaries
entered Into by herself alone, if tlio husband
has nothing on which execution may be had.
nnd it is always liable for contracts entered
into by her beforo marriage. By a trust for
"her separate u-e," either real or personal
may bo so settled that she shall receive the
Income, but neither sho nor husband can
have any control of the corpus of the estate.
nor shall it bo.l!ablo for any of his debts or
cne.iKcnicnK But such n trust uiut be
made during coverture or In immediate con
temptation of marriage, and rntinnt survive
a discovcrture. We also find that the con
tracts ot a married woman aud any agree
ment to bind her separate without her bus
band's consent arc absolutely void except in
certain cases. These are, contracts for the
repair or improvement of her real estate,
transfers ol stock ot railroad companies or
corporations created under the laws of this
State, checks and receipts to banks for
money on deposit with them, nnd contracts
for the purchase of sewing machines In
ease of her husband neglecting or refusing
to provide for her, she may becomo u feme
boIo trader, and thereby contract as though
sho were unmarried'
A man in Baltimoro had a small alliga
tor, which was sent to him from Florida.
Its habitation was a tub partialiy filled with
water, kept out of doors. Ono night last
winter, during ono of tho cold snaps, the
water became completely frozen, imprison
ing tho reptile in the ice, with but a small
portion of his body protruding therefrom
Tho animal was apparently dead. The
want of time preventing an effort for its ex
trication in tho momiug, it was allowed to
remain irozen, and was soon lorgottcn iu
the maze ol the cares of the day. For forty-
eight hours the reptile thus remained frozen
nnd lifeless, at the end of which time, being
thawed out, vitality became visible, and iu
a short timo it was as animated as ever,
with no evidence of having in tho least Buff
ered by the prolonged Irigorificconfiiiemeiit.
Washington and Jackson, toward the
closo of their second terms, having heo n
spoken of for ro-clectioii, each took occasion,
iu his last message previous to the election
of a Bieovssor, to declare an intention to
retiro at the close of his second term. It will
be observed that General Grant has omitted
to do anything of the sort. C'inciiiKiri Cb

If a man is found drank in Vermont he
i3 committed to jail aud kept there until lie
reveals who supplied the liquor. Several
are now lying in jail at Rutland because they
reluse to tell. It is thought thut they prefer
to remain uutil after the ould snap.
