The act of June 1(5, 1830, relating to exe.

does not any where fix the number necessary
to constitute thelnquest. Turning to Trou

tho singular expression. Whereupon I be'
tan tracing tbe matter up and found in nti
act of 1700. 1 Smith's Laws 7, the first
authority to sell lands for the payment of
debts, and this pioviso, 'And before any
such lands, measuage,or houses, or any oth
er lands or homes, whatsoever, taken in ex
ecution, shall be sold they shall be duly ap
praised by twelve honest and discreet men
of the neighborhood, wbloh clause of iu
quest and nppraUement was again inserted
tu the act of 1703, 1 Smith's Laws 53, with
the addition that If the clear yearly profits
will pay the debt in seveu years the lands
shall be delivered to the party obtaining the
'execution, upon a reasonable extent, until
tho debt or damages be levied.
So' far as these acts are not supplied they
are in force, but no reference to either of
them is made in Furdon. Would not it not
be well to limit the number of men com

The Potter Committee is engaged in in
'vestigating the cipher despatches to ascertain
who stole them, and gave or sold them to
the New York Tribune. The Phlla. Tunes
says, that in Washington the accepted the
ory now is that they were examined by cer
tain Republican Senators either at the rest
dence of Professor Holden of the navy, with
whom they were deposited for safe keening
byan officer of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, or at Senator Morton's committee
room. All the telegrams which compro
mised the Republican visiting statesmen
were taken out and burned by George E.
Bullock) one of Morton's runners, and the
rest iound their way into the bands of Gen
eral Butler. The translations for tho Trib
une wero made by Professor Holden in whose
possession the telegrams remained long
enough tor copies to be taken. This gen
tleman is now sworn to decipher them anew
for the Potter Committee. The theory is
the most plausible yet advanced. The com
mittee will no doubt find it desirable to hear
from the honorable Senators who examined
tbe dispatches and decided which should be
burned. There were several of them, ac
cording to the report, and. Senator Morton
only is dead. Let us know who the real
thieves are.
Clark, Reeves & Co., iron contractors of
Phcenixville, Pa. have contracted with the
Metropolitan Elevated Railway Co., of New
York to build the 2nd Avenue Line Bail
way. This firm is now engaged in build
ing another section of the road 3 miles
long. The contract for the feecond Avenue
Line is said to be the largest iron contract
ever awarded in this country as fifty million
pounds of iron must be furnished by the
contractors nnd eight miles ofroad built. The
contract for tbe section they are now build
ing comprised twenty seven million pounds
of irou. Both contracts are to be finished
by Sept. 1st, so that Messrs. Clark, Reeves &
Co., have undertaken to furnish nearly
eighty million pounds of iron and at tbe
aame time construct nearly twelve miles of
a double tract road in a little over six
months.
Lord Derby in a recent speech at Rochdale
iuU'inated that the English people were
packed too close in England, and that emi
gration was the safety-valve which would in
good time relievethe distresses occasioned by
redundantpopulation. The Welsh miners
agree in opinion, with his lordship. They
have given a very practical demonstration of
the thoroughness of their belief that, at
least, there are too many miners in Great
Britain, by oflering thirty-five dollars to ev
ery member of the Miners' Union who will
go to America, and seventy dollars to every
one who will betake himself to Australia.
This action betokens a thorough understand
ing of tbe trouble that has overtaken the in
dustrial interests of England. There are
more man to work than there is work to do.
The remedy lies between a choice of evils :
either to accept lower wages for the whole or
to send part, out of the country.

Mmamt to Establish a New BpttetMl Dh

At the regular quarterly meeting of the
Convention of Willlamsport, recently held
In 'hat city, a memorial was presented by
the Rev. Dr. Hopkins, atklng tbe constitu
tional consent of the Bishop of Central
Pennsylvania to the erection of a new Dio
cese. After considerable debate Ine memori
al was adopted by a vote of more than two
to one of the members present, and It was
signed on tho rpot by a clear majority of all
those preseut. The new Dlocose which It
propose 1 to create will consUt of the counties
of Lycoming, Clinton, Centre, Tioga, Potter,
Northumberland, Montour.Oolumbla, Union
and Snyder, being the same which now, by
canon, form the Convocation of Williams
port. The new Diocese, If created, will em
brace a quarter of a million Inhabitants, and
will be called tho Diocese of Willlamsport.
According to the rules of the Church, the
new liishop could not be consecrated until
about January, 1881. The Diocese of Cen
tral Pennsylvania, which was organized In
1871, consists of thirty-seven counties, with
a million and a half of inhabitants, and ex
tends from Pikecounty to Bedford, Inclusive
It Is considered entirety too large for one
Bishop to look after the wants of the Church
and the present movement is one which
ought not to interest the members of the
Episcopal Church only, but all the citizens
of this section of the country. . When tho
Diocese of Central Pennsylvania was organ
ized, considerable difficulty was experienced
In settling upon a name and a city for the
residence of the Dlshop, Harrlsburg, Read
ing, Lancaster, Pottsville, South Bclhleham
and Willlamsport all put in their clalms.and
no one of them was stroDg enough to conquer
all tbe rest. At that time Mr. HerJIc, who
was at the zenith of his power, offered to
give a $20,000 house) for an Episcopal resi
dence, If the Bishop would only come and
live in Willlasport. Reading was chosen
however by Birhop Howe,and now that city
Is the only one between Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh where a Bishop of the church re
sides. If Willlamsport should become a
see city it would add greatly to its prestige
and importance, and it is expected that a
strong effort will be made by the clergy and
laity of the Convention of Willlamsport to
have a new Diocese created. The disting
uished Dr. Hopkius, one of the most emi
nent members of the Episcopal Church, and
who for several years past has been Rector
of Christ church, Willlamsport, is tbe prime
mover for the establishment of the new Dio
cese , and from his well-known energy and
ability, it is safe to nssume that he will labor
indefatigably for the success of his proposi
tion. After the adoption of his memorial a
committee of three, of which he is one, was
appointed to circulate the document for the
additional signatures among the clergy and
laity not present at thomeetiug,and the Rev.
Dr. Breck. Dean of tbe Convention, was
requested to present the memorial, when
completed by signatures, to the Bishop and
parties to whom it is addressed for their con.
sideratlon. It is thought that Bishop Howe
in view of the very large Diocese over which
he presides, will bo very glad to consent to
its reduction, as it will materially reduce his
labors, and enable him to look after the bal
an co more carefully.
We clip the above from the Willlamsport
correspondence of the Phila, Jtccorti.
The adoption o f the memorial referred to
was notly contested Dy a debate of two hours,
during which tbe following amendment was
offered by the Rector of St. Paul's Chnrcb,
Bloomsburg :
"We, the members of the Convocation of
Willlamsport, having a supreme desire to
promote any measures which 'tend to
strengthen theChurch within onrDioeee,and
believing that a division of the same into
two or more dioceses, might be of great ben
efit to the interests of the Church within
the limits now comprising the Diocese of
Central Pennsylvania, and furthermore, rec
ognizing in all things which pertain to the
welfarcpf our Diocese, the value of the god
ly judgment and ripe experience ot the Rt.
Rev., the Bishop of this Diocese, do ear
nestly beg him to consider the whole subject
of division; and if, upon such consideration
be comes to a favorable conclusion, we fur
thermore beg him to present the matter to
the next Annual Convention to be held at
Lancaster, and ask such legislation upon it,
as the canons of the Diocese may require;
'and that this subject may be properly pre
sented to the Bishop,
Resolved, That the Rev. the Dean of onr
Convocation, be empowered to appoint a
committee of three, whose duty it shall be
to visit tbe Bishop at. Reading and acquaint
blm of this action."
The adoption of the amendment would
have put an end to the scheme of division,
as it is well known that Bishop Howe would
have placed his veto upon it at onee. The
Constitution of tbe (Episcopal Church pre
scribes three things as necessary to the erec
tion of a new diocese; (1.) The consent of
the Bishop to the Bame, (2.) The favorable
action of the Convention of the Diocese In
which the new diocese la to be formed, (3.)
The ratification of the General Convention
which meets once in three years.
Tho memorial of Dr. Hopklna proposes to
bring tbe subject of division before tbe next
Convention without having previously ob
talned the Bishop's consent. If the action
of tbe Convention should be favorable, a
tremendous f. iree would then be brought to
bear upon the Bishop, to induce him to agree
to it.
As yet, but fivo out of the thirteen self
supporting parishes In this Convocation
are represented by the signatures to "the
memorial, and but four out of eight mission
ary stations. If every parish had been rep
resented in the Convocation, it Is doubtful
whether the memorial would have been
adopted.
It is highly improbable that division will
succeed for several reasons the chief of
which is the additional financial burden
which would be imposed upon this Convo
cation, should It be obliged to support a
Bishop of its off u.

A Ri4 Law Dftlslw.
Recently Judgo Oallraith, ofKrie, decid
ed a question of some importance under the
road law. it defined tho rights of owners on
a point this) is arising continuously under our
complex special legislation. The plaintiff,
John W. Dawley,'residcs in Franklin town
ship, Erie county, on the Population road.
Tho defendants were the road commissioners
of Franklin township and others employed by
them. In 1873 tho road commissioners of
Franklin township employed the county sur
veyor to survey the Population road, with in
structions to find the lino of the original sur
vey of tho road. According to the line run
by Piatt under these directions, the road
through Dawley's improvement appeared to
be from three to seven feet too far west, and
tho void commissioners ordered him to move
his fence on tho the east side of the road back
cast, In accordance with this new survey.
Dawley's houso and grain barn stood on tho
cast side of tho roxi and hu had built a good
fence in front of his lions;, with iron posts,
etc., and a nice stake and cap rail fence the
balance of tho distance, in all, about ninety
rods of fence, and set shado trees along the
whole line. All these and other improve
ments had been made with reference to tho
road as actually opened and traveled since the
year 1831, forty-seven years ago. Tho road
was tho lawful width, fifty feet, and tho fence
which tho commissioners required him to
inovo was twenty-five feet and over from the
centra of tho traveled track, and being advis
ed in regard to the law of the case ho refused
to comply with the order of the road com
missioners. In the fall of 1870 tho road commissioners
caino on with help-arid tore down aud threw
back tho fence abovo referred to, and Dawley
brought an action of trespass against thetn tho
same yetr to recover damages.
The court after a very careful considera
tion of tho law, ruling that supervisors have
no right to relocate a road in order to place
It on what they may suppose its recorded site,
and that a public road laid and opened, and
used by the publio for a term of years, whelh
opened on its recorded site or not, can only be
altered by a new proceeding under the road
law.
While the country will willingly pay any
measure of dignified homage to General
Grant and will gladly see him sent to every
nation of the world as the guest of the gov
ernment, the special favoritismshown to
Colonel Grant because he is the son of the
ex-President, is justly reprobated by the
great mass of the people. The younger
Grant has done nothing for the country but
enjoy its favor, and largely at the coat of his
fellow army officers. He has been promoted
over seniors without any pretence of merit,
has been assigned to the most acceptable
staff service, and Is now about to be granted
a leave of absence for a year or more to ac
company bis father on his voyage. It it be
true that General Grant has asked for the
leave for his son, he committed a blunder
that the government should not sanction,
and the young army officer who enjoys high
rank without any more than ordinary merit
if that, should be taught that military dis
cipline depends upon equal and oxact jus
tice to every officer of the army, without re
gard to their birth, and that military dis
tinction must bj earned by intelligent and
faithful service. Colonel Grant mav be al
lowed tS accompany his father in his voyage
on a government vessel with proprlerty; but
he should do as any other officer of tbe ar
my would have to do to take such jonrney
he should resign his commission. If the
son of the ex-General of the army can be
allowed unmerited promotion and absence
from duty fr a year or more for pleasure
travel at the expense of the government, the
same rule must apply.to a greater or less ex
tent, to the sons of all the other Generals of
the army, and it must be subversive of all
karmony and good discipline in the line and
stafTofficers. President Hayes should drop
a bint to the title chiefs of the army' on the
necessity of jnst military rules to be appll
cable to all, wlthont regard to their paren
tage. Times,

have often heard in the South that these
signs were unmistakable, and.no matter how
fair in complexion and bow far removed
from the negro, the marks of the African

such theories to flight. Mr. Bruce is of the

''Tho city Is no worse than the countiv,"

morning, at the Brooklyn Tabernacle, nxd
then, in pursuance of his previous promise to
bo "moro sensational than ever," ho contin
ued : "Tho vices of tho metropolis aro moro
evident than tbe vices of the rural districts'
because the'ro are more porsons to be bad if
they wish to be. Tho merchant is as good as
tho farmer. There is no moro cheating in
town than nut of town, and not worso cheat
ing, only it, is on a larger scale. The coun
tryman sometimes prevaricates about the ago
of liU horse that be sells, or tho sizo of his
bushel measure J or as to whether tho peach
es at the bottom of the basket aro as large as
they are at the top : or about tho quarter of
beef Ibcing tender when it is tough. Tho
countryman, in short, prevaricates about his
goods to as bad an extent as the citizen docs
about his calicoes, silks and hardware
"As to villages, I think that iu somo respects
they are worso than tho cities, becauso they
copy tho vices of tho cities in the meanest
shapes. As to gossip, its! heaven is a county
village. There aro always half a dozen wo
men who have their sun ''onneis near, to that

Cain was the founder of tho first city. It
takes a city a long while to escape from the
character of its founders. It will take centu
ries for Now York to get over tho good In
fluences of its pious founders, whoso prayors
wont up in tho streets where now banks dis
count and brokers rave, where companies de
clare dividends and importers swear Custom
House lies, and auctioneers shout, while all
worship the nlmighty'dollar. In other days
men gathered in cities for defence. Only the
poor who had nothing to bo stolen lived m
the country. Now, when Christian civiliza
tion makes it safe to livo anywhere, men live
incities for the sake of rapid gain. The cit
ies aro the ccntresof civilization, and in them
popular liberty first raised its voice, as witness
Genoa, Pisa and Venice. After the death of
Alexander tho Great among his papers wero
found extensive plans of cities with a view to
the commingling and fraternization of differ
ent populations. It is a strange thing that
snrpasses my comprehension why there
should bo bickerings and rivalries between
cities. New York must stop caricaturing
Philadelphia ; Philadelphia must stqp pick
ing at New York I The continent is large
enough for St Louis and Chicago.
"The city with the large forehead is Bot
ton; that with tho deliberate step and calm
manner is Philadelphia; that with a pocket
full oi money is New York applause ; go
ing along with a rush that shakes the con
tinent is St. Louis or Chicago ; and the city
that takes its wife and children along
with it is Brooklyn. Cincinnati, Louisville,
Pittsburgh, all cities, aro distinguished for
Borne one thing ; for professional ability, af
fluence, fashion,,bot not one can be spared.
Whatever damages Boston Common, injures
Washington square Laurel Hill and Clinton
Avenue weep over the same grief, and New
York pays for the obsequies of plague strict
en New Orleans.
"While they are different in some respects,
all these cities teach us three or four import
ant lessons. One lesson that ought to i m
press itself on every' Christian man, is tbe
fact that this world is", a scene of trial acd
struggle. Watch the countenances of men is
the busy streets of cities, and there is an inti
mation that they are on errands which must
be executed at the earliest possible moment.
In tho woods, where the eternal shadow it
never lifted, or in tho seashore amid the
whirlwind and the tempest, is the best place
to study God; and in the ever-changing
streets of the great cities is the place to study
man.
"A magnificent field for Christian work is
present d iu the cities. Poverty "is worse
there than in the country, for there are 10,'
000 persons,.with none to help." Mr. Tal-
mage told a story of a boy who, when asked
if he could read and write, replied that "God
does not want me to read and write, because I
never got the chance,' and then be continued:
"How many of tbe children of the great city
have sought to walk, and have got np from
tbeir hands and knees only to put their feet
on the road to derpair I Christians are too
particular what kind of work they are called
upon to do for Christ. Don't spend so much
time in tying our cravatB when wo can be sav
ing the souls of men from death.
"Commercial life is full of temptations. A
man tries to be honest, but finds that ho can'
not compete with the Shy locks, those men
whose consciences are nuch that if they had
one honest principle it wonld die of loneliness,
Laughter. Those Shylocks despise God,
while they have a little anxiety about the
Sheriff. Then the honest man asks himself,
'How can I get on unless I do just as the
others do? Are there not in all our cities
commercial temptations of which a thousand
now present have felt the pressure ? Although
they may have resUted, have not these men
required the help of God to maintain their
integrity 1 I know a man, a bookseller, who
started business, saying that he would never
sell a book over his counter that he would not
be willing to have read in his family. ' Five
years passed on, and I saw books on his shelf
that were as bad as bad could be. I said to
him, 'Hon is it possible that you can sell
sueh books? He replied, "Oh, I have got
over that Puritanical notion.lf you had been
in business as long as I have you would find
out that a man can't do business unless he
does it just as other men do.' A little while
passed on and he lost all bis property, he lost
his morals, ho losi his intellect, and went into
tho mad boose. In other words, 'He that
casts off God, God casts him off.' There is
no success, even for this world, unless you
take uod as your guide and try to do right,
"The cities have tbeir temptations of a
political character. How many men go down

But generally when a man steps into politics

WASUIMTON LETTER.
Waihlngtoii, D. C, Jan, 29 , 1S79.
There was no progrcw In legislation of
consequence last week, except the agreement
of the two Houses on some of the appropri
ation bills or, rather, the agreements made
by tho Senate to such bills. This was especi
ally notlceablo In relation to tho Post Office
appropriation bill, to which, on Saturday,
the House agreed to the addition of many
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
If Democrats needed any vindication for
demanding a largo reduction in our naval
appropriations they had It in Senator Blaine's
speech last week on tbe subject. Ho thinks
we unnecessarily spend many millions In
that way. To be sure, he was arguing to get
some of this squandered money to aid in
building up our merchant marine, but the
use be wishes to make of tbe money makes
no difference In tht fact that it has hereto
fore been unnecesarll) spent. His plan Is
to subsidise lines of steamships to South
America and other parts of the world. He
says this would not only Increase our trado
enormously, but will give us a large number
of the best of sailors to draw from whenever
we might have need of a navy.
For many days there has been great inter

Tbe Committee on transfer of the

final action on the two reports, for and

The resolution will simply authorize any one
claiming title to the immenso property in
dispute to commence in that Court suit
against the United States. It would be a
singular result of this long struggle between
McGarraban and The New Idria Mining
0., if it should appear finally that the
Government, and not either of those parties,
really owns tbe land.
It is currently reported here that Mrs,
KlizabethTbompson who originated the Yel
low Fever Investigation is strenuously sup
porting the measure of constructing re
frigerating ships for Southeran ports
as a means of purifyinc Incoming
vessels and practically abolishing tbe great
er inconveniences of quarantine. Practical
philanthropy is rare but Mrs. Thompson has
been very fortunate first In boldly relying
on the discretion and talents of Dr. Woods-
worth and now in fosteripg the means sug
gested by ber Commission for developing the
power of that natural enemy of Yellow Fever
cold. It is expected that a bill will be
brought in immediately so that Prof. Gan
gee's steel ship with Its enormous machines
may be available early in summer. Let us
hope when this bill is presented there may
be little talk and Immediate action. The
sum demanded $2000,000 is a flea bite com
pared to the pecuniary losses by yellow fev
er and the cost of death dealing Iron

After the Jennlng's Estate.
AN INVITATION TO ALL THE JENNIKfJSES OP
A1IERICA TO JOIN IN TIIE FIGHT.
Over two hundred malo and female resi
dents of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, claim
ing to be heirs to tho great Jennings fortune
locked up in tho English Court of Chancery,
assembled, for the third time this year, in
Morgan's hall at Camden, and spent a counlo
of hours deliberating over ways and moans
by which the huge pilo of dollars 300,000,
000 in round figures could bo wrested from
the English law officers nnd distributed on
this sid.e of the Atlantic. Mr. William Cook,
who, with Dr. Kirkpatrick, has been retained
to visit England and institute legal proceed
ings, presented to the assembled heirs a letter
from one Hector Jenniogs, of Sandusky, 0.,
who claims to have in his possession import
ant documents bearing ou the genealogy of
th Eastern heirs, which bo is ready to place
at -their disposal. This news so olated the
heirs that they unanimously adopted a reso
lution calling upon all tho Jcnningscs in
America to join with them in the lkht, as
well as to participate in the distribution of
tbe cash. The sum of $200 was subscribed in
the room toward the expenses of tho delega
tion to England.
ANOTHER VIEW OF TIIE JENNINGS ESTATE,
The American papers are constantly
chronicling meetings of semi-lunatics who
firmly believe that they are entitled to sums
of money In England, usually ranging with
delightful indefiuiteness from seventy to
two Hundred millions of pounds stcrl ug,
The proceedings of such meetings have, in
every case, one very important result the
religious ceremony of "taking up a collec
tion" is never omitted. Some smart lawyer
Is generally the deut ex machina of the whole
movement, aud he, at any rate, has no diffi
culty In getting money out of tbe "estate,
One can't help pitying the unfortunate peo
ple who year after year with a courage and
pertinacity worthy of a better cause, keep on
assembling m conventions and passing reso
lutlons to proclaim that they are tho heirs
to the"Jenulngs estate," the "Drake estate."
and so forth, but really it spoaks bad for
American "cutenesa" that such impostures
can succeed, '.these estates so far as Amerl
cans are concerned, are myths. Last year
some half-crazy individual brought an action
against Lord Howe as the bolr of the "Jen
yns" estate that is tbe correct spellibg
and was literally laughed out of court. The
Court of Chancery gave Lord Howe the es
tate upward of a century ago, and twenty
years peaceable possession, when there has
been not fraud gives a good title in Eng
land. It Seem Impossible
That a remedy made of such common, sim
ple plants as Hops, Buchu, Mandrake, Dan
delion, Ac, should make so many and such
marvelous and wonderful cures as Uop Bit
ters do, but with old and young, rich and
poor, Pastor and JJoctor, Lawyer and Editor
all testify to having been cured by them,you
must believe and try them yourself,aud doubt
no longer. Bee other column.
