Ihe sale of the four per cent, certificates

tres has been stopped, aud it is not to be re
grettcd. for it bad degenerated into a scrim
bfe by brokers employees. For some clays
past there lias scarcely been a bona fide In
vestor in the crowds that have beseiged the
treasury. Jlcn and women have stood in
the street half the night to Insure a place at
the head of the line in order to pass in the
brokers' $100 bill and get ten certificates
in return, sharing the $3 profit. We hoped
these bonds would go into the hands of the
people, but few of them have taken that di
rection. Most of them have been absorbed
by bankers and brokers, and they have
made the prolit. Ihe only consoling rcilec
Hon is that a good many worthy persons
have earned a few much needed dollars by
the nam last of waiting their turn for hour

Considering the circumstances under which
Hayes got his place, it requires some nsur-
ance on his part to aspire to celebrity as a
wielder of the veto power. Washington sent
but two veto messages to Congress in his
eight years ; Lincoln sent but one in his
eight years ; Jlonroe sent but one in his eight
year? ; even Madison sent but six in his eight
years, or less than an average of one a rear.
Hayes has already vetoed five bills in a little
over two years. Three vetoes contented
Polk, and four contented Buchanan. John'
sou is commonly spoken of as tho great ve
toist, as indeed bo was in proportion to his
term of office J but Grant surpassed him in
the total. Grant votoed twenty-six bills,and
Johnson vetoed seventeen , while Tyler and
Tierce vetoed nino each. Thcso four issued
two-thirds of all (ho vetoes known up to tho
end of Grant's administration. Sun.
Senator Jackson has proved himself dur
ing the session to b6 one of tho most active
and energetic members, and he has succeeded
in successfully disposing of all legislative bus
iness relating to (his district that has been
placed in his hand. Ho is entitled to much
credit from bis constituents for the activity
he has displayed during tho session, notwith
standing his illness, and it is doubtful if there
is another senatorial district in tho state that
has been more faithfully and ably represent
ed than that of tho XXIVth. Mr. Jackson
is emphatically a working man, and when
ever any business is intrusted to his charge
ho looks afler it carefully, and does not allow

Some years ago n nalivo of Camajore, in
Italy, emigrated to America, leaving behind
a wife and two children. After a time 1 e
sent homo to them, through the priest of his
native place, $20. A few months later on
this remittance was followed by a second, this
tirao of $200 ; and at intervals afterward
other sums were sent, making altogether a
total of over $5,000. The priest, however,
never gave the money to thoso for whom it
was intended, but kept it for himself, send
ing for the woman, and telling her, with
many consoling reflections, that her husband
was dead. At tho same time he wroto to tbe
roan, informing him that his family wcro
dead, sending also with his letter an official
certificate of their death. After a timo the
man married a;ain, and a short time ago,
having prospered in business aud become
wealthy, ho determined to levisit his native
placo. In duo timo he arrived with his sec

1'iro was discovered on tho lower flwr o(
the Washington House, in Hagcrstown, Md.,
about 2 o'clock Thursday morning of last
week and beforo the alarm could bogiveu tho
flames rushed up tho stairways, cutting off
escape. Sixty persons, besides the regular
boarders, wcro on the hotel register, and.
nearly all ot them wcro compelled to escape
by climbing down the pillars ot the porches.
Many were injured in this way. Thomas
Troxell, of Cumberland, Md , was burned to
death in tho building, and F. II. Snively, of
Shady Grove, Pa , was fatally injured. IS ine
others were injured, thrco seriously. The
hotel was a brick building, four stories high,
with a porch running alone the front of each
story. Tho loss on the building and its
contents is about 550,000.
Auditor General Schell pointed out to the
Legislature the means of reducing the ap
propriations to the extent of $250,000 in the
items of public printing, advertising and
stationery. As much more could be saved
by discontinuing the Soldiers Orphans'
Schools and turning the scholars over to the
Normal Schools. These schools cost last
year $343,744. Last year there were paid
upon the principal of the public debt $1,
083,829. This year we need only pay $250,
000, which will make a comparative saving
to the Treasury ofover$S00,000. Last year
we paid $534,000 for riot losses. Thanks to
the Legislature, there is nothing to pay on
this account this year ; aud out of the $700,
000 appropriated for this purpose there is
something coming back to the Treasury,
There were $07,000 paid to Mr. J. Murray
Moorhead that will not have to be paid over
again. Besides, there is a considerable sum
of money duo tbe State from delinquent cor
porations that can be squeezed out of them
in an emergency. Taking all things together
with moderate management we can get
along the next two yean very nicely with
out new taxes. Let tbe Legislature stick
tu Its resolution not to lay any further bur.
dens on tbe people. Pliila. Record.
Mount .Etna.
Tho eruption of iEtna, which is now in
progress, is the seventy-ninth eruption of
this volcano, of which there is record. It is
continually increasing and assuming vast pro
portions. Enormous showers of ashes have
fallen in Messina, which is forty-Jive miles
northeast of tho mountains and have aleo
reached Beggio, in Calabria, nino miles south
east of Messina Showers of ashes and cloudd
of smoke issuing limn the volcano obscure
tho sun and give to tho scene an indescriba
bly sombre and lugubrious aspect. Vast
streams nf lava arc flowing down the side and
threatening tho destruction of Santa Maria
and tho villages at the base of the mountain.
Tho craters throw out immense firo balls
which burst with great biilliancy and tre
mondous reports The sceno is impressively
aud terribly grand. Several severe shocks of
earthquako havo been frit at Messina, and
the apprehensions of citizens Is excitfcd to a
high pitch. Tho Etream of lava flowing down
the mountain side is already two hundred and
thirty feet wido and four miles long. Tho
thrco new craters aro very active.
An Important Law Point-
A case was argued in Lock Haven beforo
his Honor Judge Orvis last week which is of
particular interest as involving a point on
which it is believed there, is no American de
cision, and which decided the case in favor of
the plaintiff. The suit was James D. Mason
vs. Tho First National Bank of Lock Haven,
S. It. I'ealo for plaintiff, C. G. Furst and C
b. .McUoninck lor defendant, Ihe action
was to recover a balance due plaintiff by the
bank. His account had been running nearly
(wo years, when, October 25, 1875, the bank
refused to honor his checks, there being at
tbo time money credited to his account in
excess of Ihe check presented. About the
same date tbo firm of 'Ihomas & Mason fail
ed. Tho bank, believing that the money de
posited to the credit of James I). Mason was
tho property of Thomas & Mason (John S
Mason), notified him that they would not pay
his check, but would charge overdue notes of
Thomas & Mason to his account. On the
trial, Mr. Peale, tho plaintiff's able attorney,
took the position that a depositee (the party
receiving the deposit) eould not questiou the
title of tho depositor ; that he was estontieJ
in law from doing so in the absence of any
claim of ownership by a third party ; that a
depositee could not, iu an action by the de
positor to recover tho amount of the deposit,
set off notes of a third parly to defeat tho ac
tion. These objections were sustained by Judge
Orvis, and a verdict rendered for plaintiff for
$1,521.07.
It was forcibly argued in substance by
counsel for plaintiff that if this rule did uot
prevail, it would unsettle tho business of
banks and seriously disturb the relation here
toforo existing between the depositee and the
depositor J and that if Ihe banks be aocord
ed this new unwarrautcd power over depos
its, (hey would necessarily incur with it new
rcspoinibilitie-i, and becomo answerable in
tho new found authority an injury instead of
a benefit. If a bank could pass upon a de
posit in this way, it would also assume tho re
sponsibility of ditposing of the deposit con
trary to (ho will of (he dejiositor, and bo an
swcrable in law to him for tho transfer, and
then become liablo in a manner that would
aunoy business, create suits at law, and ulti
mately kill itself by its own bad operations.
That such could not havo been intended as
tho effect of Ihe law is plain and tbo propriety
and juitico of the jiositioa UHumwl is ap
parent. Clinton Democrat,

This week witnesses n renewal of caucus
deliberations. The joint Houso and Senate
caucus of the majority were In deliberation
long after midnight this A. M. There was
a prolonged discussion and a careful review
of the political situation, and at two o'clocl-
thls morning the caucus had not adjourned.
Tho nub-committee submitted a report rec
ommending several Important changes In
the manner of providing legislative, execu
tive, and judicial appropriations, and the
Indications nro that tho report will be adopt
ed, and become a part of the now bill. In
case these Indications shall bn verified the
new bill will provide for a joint resolution
extending for ono year all appropriations
granted by the act of June 19th, 1878 fortho
legislative, judicial and executive expenses
of the government for the current fiscal
year. That act, it will be remembered, pro
vided for tho salaries of all United States
Judges. District Attorneys, and United
States Marshals, but made no appropriation
for tbe "oxpcn'es of United States Courts,
such as fees of j'irors and witnesses, the safe
keeping of prisoners, and the enforcement
of the laws protective of the right of suf
frage. The "lump" appropriation of about
$3,000,000 for judicial expenses," usually
made iu the legislative, executive, and ju
dicial bill, but omitted from it last Tear,
was inserted in tho "sundry civil bill,"
which passed Congress at a subsequent pe
riod of the same session.
The mere extension of the act of June 19,
1878, would, therefoie, have the judicial
expenses of the coming fiscal year unpro
vided for. It is therefore proposed to sup
plement the paago of the joint resolution
above indicated by the passage of a new bill
appropriating in dtil for nil estlina'ed ju
dicial expenses except the per ditms of su
pervisors and deputy msrshiils of elections,
and conlaiuiog also the clause which was
agreed up in last Saturday, lo provide that
no otbi'er shall be appointed aud no obliga
tion incurred lor any purpose not specifical
ly appropriated lor by Congress This sup
plemental appropriation bill is also to em
bodv those sections of the vetoed appropria
tion bill which provide fur amendments of
the law respecting the method of drawing
juries and for the total abolition of the jur
or's test oath. The committee's rtcommen
dation in regard to the army appropriation
bill will, according to the present outlook,
be the same as has been stated.

The largest cultivated wheat farm on the
globe is said to be the Groodin farm, uot far
from the town of Fargo, Dakota. It embra
ces some 40,000 acros, both Government and
railway land, and lies close to the Hed Hirer.
Divided into four parts, it has dwellings,
granaries, machine shops, elevators, stables
for 200 hones, and room for storing 1,000,
000 bushels of grain. Besides tho wheat
farm, there is a stock farm of 20,00 acres.
In seeding time, 70 to 80 men are employed,
and during harvest 250 to 300 men. Seeding
begins about April 0, and oontinues through
the month, and is done very systematically,
the machines following one another around
the field some four rods apart. Cutting be
gins about Aug. 8, and ends the fore part of
September, succeeded by the thrashing, with
eight steam thrashers. After thrashing the
stubble ground is ploughed with great
ploughs, drawn by three horses and cutting
two furrows, and this goes on until tho weath
er is cold enough to freeze, usually about
Nov. 1. There are many other large farms
in this territory. The average yield of the
Dskota wheat farm is from 20 to 25 bushels
per acre. Sun.

RECOMMENDED TOR EXPULSION FROM
THE HOUSE SEVERAL OUTSIDERS
l.Mi'LICAIEIl IN CORRUPT
PRACTICES.
L-ist Thursday tho report of tho commit
tee to Investigate- the charge that liiembcrs
had been bribed to supportthe Pittsburg riot
bill, was submitted to the house. .Mr. Wnlfo
was the moving spirit In tho Investigation
and look a very active part In the examina
tion of witnesses. It will bo observed that
the report Is signed by every member of tho
committee but L r, Gatchell, tho chairman,
who was abcut. After reciting the resolu
tion authorizing the committee, to proceed
with Its work, the report ommencea ns fol
lows :
THE REPORT,
The committee selected Samuel 11. Collins
as stenographer to take tho testimony, who,
together with his assistants, were sworn lo
the faithful discharge of their duty. The
sessions of the committee with one exception
were public, and all persons iu any way im
pllihtrd were afforded the fullest opportuni
ty to testify iu their own behalf and to bring
witnesses in proof of their Innociice. The
testimony taken, the wltneacs by whom
given as well us tho other evidence In tho
case will be found In the appendix to the
IieghMive llrenrd, which has been by order
of the houso printed lor use of tho members
and placed upon their desks. Before enter
ing upon any analysis of the evidence and
stating the conclusions at which wo have ar
rived thereon, we wl-h to define briefly the
rules by which the committee have been
governed In conducting tho Investigation,
aud the general principles which have guid
ed us iu arriving nt our conclusions upon the
evidence, In reference to the first point we
wish to state that while occasionally some
irrelevant testimony has crept in such as
would not be allowable under strict rules in
tbe conduct of a trial in a court of law, the
amount of such evidence is not consldera
tile, but it is of such a character as to do no
harm or injus'ico to any one.
HEUlSAY EVIDENCE EXCLUDED.
The committee have unanimously, persist
ently and carefully excluded all hearsay ev
idence aud h tve, although It has bee i the
practice of Ugislative Investigating commit
tee, generally to take a wider latitude, deem
eil it best in their inquiries to be ciutrollcd
iu the admission of evidence by the rules
governing courts of law. In reference to the
second point we wish to say that when there
Is conflicting testimony, we have in reach
ing a decision been guided chiefly by
considerations of interest in the witness to
testify truthfully or falsely by tho consisten
cy and reasonableness of their testimouy, lly
the number of witnesses on one side and the
other and the corroborating circumstances,
in no case has there been any attempt made
to impeach the credibility of any witness,
aud we have given equal weight to the tcs
tlmony of every witness, exceptin g where
in our opinion their personal interests af
forded a strong motive to testify falsely, or
their testimony was inconsistent or unreas
onable or the corroborating facts or number
of witnesses were against them. We wish to
state further that in arriving at our decision
upon the evidence we have honestly and ear
nestly endeavored to rid our minds of all
passion and prejudice and to decide each
case upon the evidence, judging each by the
same rule and making no distinctions be
tween individuals.
WHERE POUUTB EXISTED.
Iu all cases ot reasonable doubt, without
giving any opinion upon conflicting cv
dence, we give the benefit of the doubt to
the person who is unfatorably implicated ;
but in all cases where there is uu reasonable
doubt, unpleasant as the duty is, especially
in the esse of our fellow members, we have
not hesitated to do our duty fearlessly and
impartially by expressing our opinion of
their guilt and the measure thereof, accoin
pauyiug such opinion in each case with a
reference to the evidence ou which such
opinion is based. While fully decided in
the opinion that a great evil should continue
to exist forever rather than any innocent
man should suffer, we were equally firm iu
our convictions that uu consideration of
policy or sympathy or friendship should de
ter us from finding against those of whose
fault thero is no reasonable doubt; less
thanthis would not meet tbo demands of
pure legislation, the vindication ot the high
claims of self-government and the honor
and fair fame of tho legislature and the com
monwealth. THE CONVICTED MEMBERS.
In the opinion of the undersigned mem
bers of the committee the evidence before
the committee, as contained in the appendix
above referred to, shows W. F. Rumberger,
a member of the house from the county of
Armstrong, to have been guilty of a viola
tion of section 29 and30ol article 3 of the
constitution and also of the first section of
the act of assembly of the 2Jth of April,
1874, defining corrupt solicitations of the
members of tbe general assembly, etc. The
committee base their action iu the case of
Mr. Ilumberger upon the evidence of N, II.
Silverthorn, member ot the house from the
county of Krie, of Wra. II. Kemble, of tbe
city of Philadelphia, and the evidence of
Mr. Humberger himself. They also are of
opinion that Kmile J. PetrolT, of the Fifth
district of Philadelphia, has been guilty of a
violation of section 30, article 3, of the con
stitution, aud also of tho 1st section of the
act of assembly of April 29, 1874, afore -aid.
Aud they arrive at this conclusion in his
case from the testimony of Harry Watson,
member of the houso from tho county of
Mercer, and Joseph II. Maclay, member ot
the bouse from the county of Mifllin ; and
it is also their opinion that George F. Smith,
of the 25th district of Philadelphia, has also
been guilty of a violation of section 30, arti
cle 3 ot the constitution, and also of the first
section of the act of assembly of April 21),
1874, aforesaid. And we arrive at our con
clusions in this case upon the testimony of
J, U. Knittle, member of the bouse from the
county of Columbia, and George W. Drum,
member of the house from the 4th district ot
Luzerne county.
GUILTY OUTSIDERS.
There is evidence of corrupt solicitation
on tbe part of other members of the house,
but tbe evidence being conflicting and not
being sufficient In our judgment beyond any
reasonable doubt, to show a violation nf the
coiot-tution and laws enacted to prevent
such corrupt solicitation, wo deem it best to
refrain from referring to the particular cases
or expressing any opinion in refereuco
thereto. Tho evidence of M, H. Silver
thorn, member nf the house from the county
of Krlej C, N. Foster, member of the bouse
from the county of Lehigh, and Charles
Miller, member of the house from the coun
ty of Snyder, as well as the testimony of him
self and that of John 11. Taggart, editor of
the.S'uauay STimci of the city of Philadel
phia, show, in the opinion of your commit
tee, that William II, Kemble, of tbe city of
Philadelphia, was guilty of a violation of
section 30, article 3 ot the constitu
tion, and also of the first section of the act
of assembly of April 20, 1874, aforesaid.and
we ao find, Tbe testimony of P, S, Sow
man, member of the house from the county
of York! J. W. Carglll, member of Ihe
houe from tbo county of Susquehanna j C.
II, roster, member of the houso from the
counly of Lehigh j E. D. Graff, member of
the house from tbo county of Armstrong ;
Joseph II, Maclay, member of the bouo
from thocounty of Mllllln ; Stephen J, Smith,
member of tho house from tho counly of
Berks; Henry C. Moore, member of the
house from the county of Bucks, and H. B.
Worthington, member of the house Iromthe
counly of Bucks, and other evidence less def
inite and positive, shows that Charles B.
Salter, an ex-member of the house from the
city of Philadelphia has been guilty of avl
olatton of section 30, article 3 of the consti
tution and the first section of the act of as
sembly of the 29th of April, 1874, afore
said.
MORE GUILTY ONES.
And so we find the testimony of J, W.
Carglll, member of the houso from tbecoun
ty of Susquehanna ; B. B. Foust, member of
the house from the county of Huntingdon,
nnd L. D. Woodruff, member of tho house
from Ihe county of Cambria, shows that
Jesse H. Crawford, assistant superintendent
of public grounds, has been guilty of viola
tion of section SO, nrticlo 3, of the constitu
tion, nnd also ol section 1 of the act of as
sembly of tho 29th of April, 1874, aforesaid
and so wo find the testimony of J. G. Zeru
and Michael Casslday, members of tho houso
from tho county of Carbon, shows Alexand
er W. Lelsenring, of Mauch Cluii'k, iu tbe
county of Carbon, has been guilty of a vio
lation of section 30, article 3 of the consti
tution, and also of the first section of tho act
of assembly of the 29th of April, 1874, afore
said, and so we find. The testimony of Ben-
jamlu Bordner, member of tho house from
Dauphlu county, shows thatChristiau Long,
of Shippensburg, in Cumberland county,has
been guilty of a violation of section 30, artl
cle 3 of the constitution, and also of the first
section of the net of assembly of the 29th of
April, 1874, aforesaid, and we do so find
There is conflicting evidence of corrupt so
licitation on the part of E. J. McOune, o;
fchlppensburg, Cumberland county, and o
Dr. D C. Shoemaker, of Dauphin county
and we prefer to refer the house to the testi
mony of Robert McCacbran, jr., member of
tbe house from Cumberland county, and J,
G. Zern, member from Carbon county, In
reference thereto in these two cases, respect
fully, and refram from expressing any opin
ion therein.
CONCLUSIONS.
In addition to the evidence of corrupt so
licitation to whicli the committee have al
ready referred, there is a considerable mass
of evidence showing attempts at improper
combinations upon other legislation pending
Leforp the house or to be brought before it,
in ord--r to further the passage of house bill
No. 103. While these combinations or at
tempted combinations may not have been
such as would render tbe parties concerned
therein criminally liable, yet they have been
of such a character as to be antagonistic to
pure and wise legislation, to the spirit If not
the letter of tbe constitution and to the best
interests ot the commonwealth. We also
deem it our duty to further state that there is
clear and positive evidence of an attempt to
Influence public opinion in favor of the said
house bill, No. 103, through the insertion of
paid articles in the public press throughout
the lommonwealth. We are not prepared to
say upon the evidence that any part of
the newspaper press of the state has been
subsidiaed lo the supportof the said bill, but
that the influence brought to bear upon pop
ular opinion through the insertion of the ar
tides referred to, was not in our judgment
of such a character as to create a fair and
healthy opinion as to the merits of the said
bill ; and itis to bedeprecated tbatany such
means should have been resorted lo to fur
ther the passage of said bill.
All of which is respectfully submitted and
request the house to havo the same printed
for the use of tho members,
A. M. Rhoads,
C. V . Elliot,
Charles Wolfe,
M. P. Doyle.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Jimes makes tbe following comments on the
abovo report :
"Have you had the measles? If so, how
many ?" were two of the questions that Ar-
lemus Ward put into the mouth of an insu
rance agent. "Will there be any expulsions?
If so, how many?" arethequestionsof great
est interest to the House of Representatives
just at mis time, mere is little disposition
to grumble over Mr. Wolfe's report. I call
it Wolfe's, because although Rboads present
ed It and Gatchell was the chairman of the
committee, Wolfo really wrote the report
and was the master spirit of the Investiga
tion. The only exception taken to it lies
against the reflection upon the press, which
is surely not warranted by anything in the
testimony. There is not a scintilla of evi
dence that a dollar was spent improperly
upon the newspapers. Certain journals, and
there was a large numbir of them, publish
ed Judge Agnew's argument in favor of Al
legheny's case as an advertisemsnt, but In no
Instance that has come to light was an exor
bitant price demanded for it. Probably the
premises of Mr. Wolfe's argument in this
matter are fouud in the case of Mr. Wood
ruff, whosald that he was offered a thousand
dollars to publish an article in his newspa
per, at Johnstown, But this was not intend
ed to buy tho influence of the newspaper ;
it was a palpable offer to buy the vote of
Mr. Woodruff, ns a member of the House.
No, the press came off clean, and Mr. Wolfe
should have had the manliness or the
thoughtfulness to say so. Suspicion, how
ever well-grounded in one's own mInd,isnot
proof, as Mr. Wolfo well knows. Besides,
if the newspapers were to be condemned for
being corruptly approached, how does it
happen that Air. Chris Magee, who, accord
ing to the theory of the prosecution, mado
the corrupt approaches, has escaped without
a word of censtiro or even the mention of his
name ? This is the weak spot and the only
one in the admirable judicial deliverance of
tbe committee.

AN ETKXT IN DItY GOODS.
Jless. Strawbrldgo t Clothier call attention.
prominently, In our columns to-slay, to their great
closing sale for the season which la mado under
unusual circumstances.
It appears to bo generally conceded by business
men, that tho bottom has been reached In the
prices of tho great staples, and an advance has set
in with many of them, notably In Wheat, Cotton,
Wool and silk.
This advance seems to bo well founded and Is
likely to conttnno, and from tho low prices which
havo been prevailing In moat manufactured articles,
especially dry goods, for a year or two back, there
13 a probability ot a reaction to higher figures,
which may bo considerable.
If ess. Strawbrldgo Clothier, ever allre to the
situation and to the prospects ot tho market In
their special line of business, have made enormous
purchases ot staple fabrics tor tho next Fall and
Winter trade.
They now announce that having an immense
stock of Spring and Summer goods, they have de
cided to Inaugurate a great sale and turn Into cash
several hundred thousand dollars worth ot goods
within tho next thirty days. Such a sale, at reduced
prices, In tho face of a rapidly advancing market Is
almost an anomaly in buslaoss experience, but wo
do not doubt, from our knowledgo ot these gentle
men, that they have good reasons for their action,
and It only remains for buyers to take advantage of
the opportunity and secure their supplies of dry
goods, especially Silks and Dress Goods, at prices
lower Uian ever before and at much lower than they
are likely to bo la the future.
