Wo also think that he hurt Dill last year more than he did him good. We also believe that it was an insult to the last Convention to announce himself as "the mouth piece of a mob." If a "mob," ho should have been ashamed to be its mouth-piccc. Hut it was not a mob, but ouo of the most intelligent and orderly Con vention ever held in the State. "TIIB WOLFE AT OUK DOOU." Wc know that Wolfe of Union is able, and his vanity sometimes aids him. His ambi tion also makes him couragcous.as was shown by his sudden conversion to tho support of the proposed new county of Minueo.ua, a change of heart no less remarkable than that of 1'aul's, because no lightning stroke was nee cssary, but a mere cpistlo from a preacher at Troy, (Bradford county.) The investigation he instituted and carried on about the Riot Bill threw a flood of light on that subject. It showed how one of many schemes are creatures of a corrupt lobby. But why does Wolfe & Co., halt in prose eating known criminals ? It is not for want of evidonco of Legislative sanction, nor of popular support. The suspicion might become popular that either there is another sudden conversion or else that the Cameron clan, patent in his oighborhood, have hinted about .future re wards and punishment. MERCANTILE A1TKAISEMENTS. We have received numerous inquiries as t the duties of the mercantile appraiser, and the rights of dealers. Wo never had i doubt as to the law, but believing an author itativc opinion would be useful, we addressed a letter to the Auditor General, and received the following reply, which it would be well to preserve. In answer to your interogatories contained in letter addressed to this department on the 22d inst , we havo to say : First. A mercantile appraiser cannot re ccivc a warrant for his mileage until he makes oath to this department that ho has personal ly visited the persons assessed, and has ac tually travelled the miles charged for. We expect County Treasurers to exact the same oath from appraisers before paying their fees. Second. An appraiser cannot make an ar bitrary classification without personal inquiry, under oath if necessary. Third. Persons selling goods of their own manufacture, not having a shop, store or depot separate and apart from their factories are generally not smbjoct to a mercantile tax, (lor exceptions see Pearson's Reports.) Fourth. Under the general law a fee of fifty cents for the appraiser, and twenty-five cents for tho Treasurer on every mercantile license must, bo collected in addition to the license. (For exceptions see special laws tor counties.) Fifth, Tavern keepers and liquor dealers of whatever class arc subject to both a stato and United States license. For the state license they are appraised by the mercantile apprais er, (after the right to have a license is grant' ed by the court) and must pay to the county Treasurer the amount at which they havo been rated, within fifteen days after their li' cense has been granted, and the Treasurers receipt for tho amount of their assessment will entitle them to receive their license from tho Clerk of the Court of Quarter Sessions, They are subject to no other tax. Sixth. The appraiser must have a general appeal day, and cannot have separate times and places for individuals. Respectfully, KmvAitn Derrick for William P. Schell, Auditor General. Apparently the President has become tlr ed of notifying the country that he ex pected soon to begin to enforce Borne civil service reform. According to a special from Washington be told Congressman Uarmer that "so far as the civil service or der was concerned It was never his (ntcn tlonto restrain any Republican In do log all In his power to promote the success of the Republican party." If the President could only manage to keep his mind together two days at a time a confued nation might some time begin to comprehend what he did mean by that order.. Everybody seems to be sat' fsfied that It wann't calculated to reform anyuiiug, and, tberelore, Air. Hayes can Jiardly felicitate himself that he has fooled jicy one. ?'ws. Hon. John Welsh, American Minister to England, has resigned his posftiou for per' soual and domestic reasons. He represented the Uuitcd States very creditably.

He entered into a con- Iracy with several tobacco manufacturers In his district, by which op his part they ere to bo exempted from assessments for revenue purposes, and tney on their part were to pay certniu sums into a pool to be appropriated to the private use of Mr. Marks. After this scheme had progressed lor a time rival tobacco dealers found them selves slowly but surely being taxed out of market and Instituted an Investigation with the result of discovering the fraud. Information was sent to the department at Washington, and an official detailed to look the matter up, but with instructions to make no exposures nor arrests. This servico was entrusted to Mr. E. D. Webster, a revenue agent, who proceeded to New Orleans, and after investigating the matter that officer re turned to Washington and reported that the affairs were fully as bad as reported, and that "Marks and all his assistants and em ployees were the most infernal set of scoun drelshe ever met with in all his experience as a revenue officer." This report not being what was wanted by the department,anotber officer was sent down, but the result was the same, and still Marks continued for some months in the undisputed possession of his office and the continued enjoyment of the stolen plunder. Emboldened by Wis immunity Alans oe gan increasing his assessment upon his com' panlons until the burden imposed became greater than the revenue would have ex acted, when they resisted. A scene followed and they determined to confess the whole thing, which they subsequently did. At the next term of the U.S. court in New Orleans steps were taken looking to an examination of the matter. Mr. Marks at once went to the district attorney and the judge, Billings, being on the bench, and persuaded them to discharge the grand jury before the examln ation was made. The officers of the court acquiesced, and the jury was called up for dismissal, when the foreman protested so vehemently that tho judge quailed and the jury was not discharged. But Marks was equal to the emergency, and be at once tele graphed to Attorney General Devens, re minding that gentleman, probably, of his claims upon the administration, when the attorney general at onse dispatched summary instructions to have the jury discharged, which was done, and Marks continues mas ter of the situation. Though months have elapsed since the true state of affairs were put in the possession of the department, no effort has been made to prevent further peculations or bring him to justice. Commissioner Raum in a recent communication to the republican papers throughout the country attempts a defense, but it is so exceedingly lame and Impotent that so far from being a defense, it answers admirably as a confession. In fact it was so transparently weak as a defense that the Post of this city Bays a leading republican journal refused to publish it saying that if the commissioner couldn't present a stronger defense he ban better remain silent. This is another Instance wherein the gov ernment is swindled out of moneys by the thieves whom Hayes and Sherman are forced to pension upon the public crib as a recom pense for their share in the great crime, That he was not dismissed is owing probably to the fear which the executive doubtless ap prehends of a full exposure of the proceed ings of the returning board which will fol low. This reform administration with its fraudulent beginning is an expensive luxury, Robbing at one end and wasting at the oth er is the order of the day. While Marks and others of his ilk are stealing the reve uues in the south John Sherman, Key,Tyne and others are busily wasting in the north by junketing through the country making political speeches for the republican party at the expense of the public, in revenue cut ters, special trains, etc. These abuses were considered to have reached a climax under the Grant regime, but a careful analysis of the record shows that the abuse did not at tain half the proportions then that it has since the advent of Hayes. True, Mr, Hayes himself does not absent himself as often as Graut did, but he is only restrained by his miserable penury. He is living at the soldiers' orphans' home, near the city, at public expense, which is infinitely cheaper than would be possible for bim if traveling, though his railroad fare was paid by the government, and vessels employed to carry him where water transportation was more convenient. Senator Jackson's Illness. Many of our readers aie aware that Hon George D. Jackson. Senator from this district, was quite sick at Harrlsburg durjug the latter part of the session of the Legislature, but as soon as he could be out bis room, at con siderable risk to bis health, persisted in per forming his dalles u the Senate. After his return home he continued to attend to busi ness, although considered In a dangeroui situation by bis physicians and friends. 0 Friday last his physicians, Drs.

THE In Mils community where the members of ue i uoiumbia Uounty Medical Society are inn, ana where many of them have .u,IullJ ,ml .ccepU1)y praciced their professions for many years, no word of ex I'lanallon or defense of their Ui. i.. the expulsion of a member Is needed. The I hysiclans comnlalned nf education and refine al reputation is dear to them, to whom pro fessional Integrity and professional purity are of the highest moment, and !.. ..ciua.cu only by the des re Ui i,rol. community in which they are- been residents, mm heir- - ibe quackery, charlat- .ud long have onduct. J( Imposed upon by E-' uiiry and unprofessional cry 8oclety whether of law, physic, divinity or handicraft, must be governed by some law and rule j and every peraon who oius It, voluntarily subjects himself to such government. Such agreement is implied in the vtry application to become a member, ud is imposed by the society in bis admis sion. If he violates the taws of the society, e Is justly amenable to such punishment as the rules and regulations of the society prescribe. If not, all government, society and concert of action would be at an end. The couuty society is a constituent part of the State Association, and it having come to the knowledge of the State body,that charges of quackery and unprofessional conduct had been lodged against Dr. A. L. Turner, the couuty society was requested to take such action upon them as the case required. The code of medical ethics is peculiar to Itself, and requires that an examination of this kind shall be private ; and though the soci ety may admit lawyers If it chooses, yet they are no more there by right than doctors would be In an examination as to whether a lawyer had violated any rules of the Bar Association. And if they were to come in and give their opinion on the subject, it would certainly be considered by the legal profession as a huge joke. In what It did, tho society acted within its powers, and is not therefore justly amenable to outside censure. Dr. Turner well knew what the charges against him were, had known it for a long time, tendered bis re; ignation to avoid Investigation and possible expulsion ;nd if any answer could have been made to them, had ample time to pre pare it. Thirteen Physicians including himsell met upon call, to txsmiiiu the truth of the charges. The vote on the main question stood as follows Eight voted to expel. Four voted to reprimand. One yoted to suspend. And s, A. L. Turner was expelled from the Columbia County Medical Society, not even himself, in the presence of his fellow members, daring to cast his own vote In fa vor of his Innocency. And uow, instead of going into the news' papers to excite sympathy, instead of ap pealing to classes in the community, instead of denouncing the members of the Medical society, let him, ij he dares, appeal from their judgment, aod carry his case, law yersand all, to tbeCourt of appellate jurisdic tion for such cases,tbe State Medical Asaoct' ation, and submit to it his professional con duct, bis standing as' a regular practioner, and above all bis claim to be a medical dis coverer, which is so much vaunted by his zealous and injudicious trumpeters. To that critical test be is invited, and to that he dares not come. The Columbia County Medical Society Is as zealous of the honor and reputation of its members as any Association can be. Any honest discoverer of a new medical agent would have received due honor and recogni tion at their hands ; but the man who propriates the professional discoveries of another, and hawks them over the country by hand bills, circulars, or private letters, like the vendors of patent medicine noa' trums, is a charlatan and a pretender, and the society and the community are the bet ter for his absence. To speak of him in connection with the great medical discover ers of thiB or the last age is only to call at tention to thn asserted fact, that he is using as his own, the discoveries of Dr. Bron Sequard, Wier, Mitchell and other eminent medical men. And that too, without the re motest knowledge of the human system which is n qui red to administer judiciously those powerful Bromides with which the names of Sequard and Mitchell will be lor ever joined, and which are used by Turner as An own discoveries. It is claimed therefore, that the acts of Dr. Turner are violations of Truth, of Right, of Professional courieay, of Medical Ethics, and of the ru es of the society of which he has been a member ; and because of these violations be has been justly expelled.

As a painted figure head Mr. Grow has been a success, and it is not surprising that tho Ring should try him again at tho outset of a contest wherein every sign is against them ; bat it is a littlo curious that a nmu with a character should allow himself to be put periodically to such bao uses. Tho mot exciting political question in Pennsylvania grows out of tho recent raid upon the Legislature by tho Pennsylvania Railroad and tho chiefs of tho old Ircasury Ring, tho object of which was to 'lift' bodily and unceremoniously $4,000,000 from tho pockets of tho people into their own. This was the famous Riot bill. It was managed by Quay and Kcmble, who, as everybody knows, almost manago the Republican party, The State did not owe a dollar. There had been no attempt to bring tho issuo to judicial trial cither as against tho State or against tho county of Allegheny, where tho liability rested under tho law, if anywhero beyond tho company itself. The argument used was the one which might havo prevailed under other circumstances against tho couuty, that the failure of tho State to put down tho riot made it rcsponsiblo for the ensuing damages, But there was no riot until after the troops arrived and fired on the people. Up to that moment it wss merely a strike of tho rail road men, and tho Allegheny Grand Jury found that the proclamation upon which tho troops were called out was a forgery could not be traced beyond the Pennsylvania Railroad office ; the Governor was in Utah there was no officer of the State Adiiiiiiittra tion at llarrisburg ; and the Governor and all the rest refused to say whether the paper had ever been made or not Vet Kcmble and Quay demanded i-4,000,' 000 damages just 12,000,000 more than tho self-inflicted losses amounted to. Ouc-half was to go into the pockets of the lobby and into the Republican campaign funds. committee of the House found that there had been a systematic attempt to attempt to pass this infamous bill by widespread corrup' tion of tho Legislature, and raised a com mittee to ptosecuto Kcmble and others for tho offences of which they had been proved guilty. Tho whole State was very naturally aroused and alarmed by these revelations, and ono would suppose that it there was any question upon which tho political parties would hasten to take strong giound, if they desired the confidence cf tho people, it would be this ono. The Democratic Convention accordingly put itself on record in no uncer tain terms in tho following resolution : 'That the recent attcniDt. under the person al direction of ruling Republican leaders, to debauch the legislature by wholesale bribery and corruntion, and take from the Common wealth four million dollars for which its lia bility had never been ascertained, is a fresh and alarming evidence of the aggressiveness of corporate power iu collu:iuu with political rings, and should receive tho sigual coudem nation ot tbe people at tho polls. All eyes now turned to tho so-called Re publican Convention which assembled u week later. Could it afford to abandon its leaders and turn Kcmble, oue of tho bol'KV. and most u.-fl'ul of tLeiu, over to public justice Tho Riot bill had been urged as Republican measure ; some of tho witnesses sworo that their votes had been svcuied ou that giound alone. The parly was. to shaio as a paityio tho plunder; the gintlemau whom it had rcccutly elected a Senator iu Ciugiis gave it his powciful support, ami it was personally mauaged by Kemble aud Quay .the two ablest and most influential chiefs of the Riug -aud of the party. This was a tryiug situation ; but Mr Quay was equal to the emergency, aud it was announced iu dispatches from llarrisburg days bel'uro the event that tho h.iuest Repub licans who wished to denounce -oth the steal aud tho thieves would be gauged, and, nothing else would do, kicked out. Mr. Wolle of Union, tho Chuiruiau of the Legislative Committee which exposed the Riot bill infamy, aud had done his best to punish some of tho criminals, wa- a member of the Convention. He know very well that his party was against him aud his work that it belonged, hide, hoots, and horns, to tho raitioad and the King, and that he could not expect to secure mere than a very faint, indirect, and hypocritical condemnation of the villainy in question. He bad therefore drawn this mild and pitiful resolution : 'That in view of tho dcvcloumeuts cf cor rupt piacticcs in connection with the Riot bill in the last House, we emnhaticallv re affirm that part of tho platloriu adopted by the Republican State Convention at Lancas ter in 1875, and which was readoptcd by the Republican Stato Convention at llarrisburg in lo7o, which demands noucst men in oinoe men with brains enouch to know dishones ty when they see it and courage enough to tight it wheresoever tney lind it. But even this was too much. Mr. Hall who is W. II . Ketnble's llarrisburg attorney. was in the chair, aud promptly ruled Mr, Wolfe out of order. Wolfo desired only that his resolution might bo read ; but tl Chaiiman decided that under tho order of the Convention referring all resolutions to the Committee without a debate it could not be read ; reading being debate, according to this new Daniel of tho Ring. Then Wolfe appeared and there was scene. The Chair refused to put tho appeal to a vote, and Wolf insisted upon its being dono. U was too plain a case, and tho (Jon vcntion woplU pot sustain the Cliair. resolution was read, and then referred to tho Committee on Resolutions, of which Mr. Quay had thoughtfully made himself a mem bor, whero it was finally smothered. Thus the so-called Republican Convention, run by the Ijing managers, gagged and silenced Wolfo, apd pointedly rpfuscd to condemn th Riot bill corruptions' in tlie mildest passible manucr. The two parties havo taken their aland on (his Important quostiqn. and it remains to be seen which the people of Pennsylvania will sustain tho one which openly declares in favor of legislative plunder and ooriuptioo orlhponp whipji heartily pondemns llctn bleisui and the whole system of Addition, Division and Silence.

In it,- . ."0 muuumui iu ixiun, la the westo'" . , . . , .u pait 01 nrauiuru vuuy With a nalr of good horses and Ollvor Covatihovan's largo carry all, the distanco between Orangevllle and Benton is soon traveled. Arriving at Benton we endeavor to replaco tho bag of oats which we find we avo forgotten. We search in vain in Hen- ton, and pursuing our way we stop at every farm house in quest of oats, but we are un successful until we reach Colo's mill where we get but half a bushel. Proceeding on our way we make no stop until we reach the house this sldo of Stewart's saw mill where we buy a small pitcher of milk for which they charge us tbe small price of 60 cents. Reaching "Baum Town about U 'clock we encamp, mako coffee and eat our dinner. After a good rest of 2J hours wo proceed towards Laporte, Before we have traveled many miles rain commences to fall and just as we reach the top of the mountain, it descends in good earnest. Dropping the curtains and hurrying on our waterproofs we proceed on our way through a driving rain : crossing Muncy Creek wo ascend an other mountain, finding the roads extremely rough. As night approaches wo begin to look fur a stopping place ; but as those who sit on the front seat havo the appearance of drowned rats," everybody seems suspicious and refuses us a place even in their barns, evidently taking us for gypsies. Just before dark we reach a house a mllo from Laporte where they take us in, and the lady of the house Informs us that she "has thirteen beds and not a bed-bug ; rejoicing In this fact we retire and after a journey of 32 miles tako a good night's sleep. Taking an early start In the morning we soon reach Laporte, tho county Beat of Sullivan county We find it to consist of a Court House, two churches, a tavern, a store and a few dwel ling houses but not much besides. From Laporte to Forksville, a distance of about 14 miles we travel, through the wildest seen ery and over rough roads, stopping for few moments at Lewis' Lake. We find here a number of cottages occupied by summer visitors. It Is a little spot of beauty in tbe midst of a wilderness. We stop at I-orks' vllle long enough to get our dinners and have a horse shod and then start on with the intention of reaching Alba by nine o clock in the evening. From Forksville to Fox Centre is said to be 10 miles but we concluded that they must be Sullivan coun ty miles for after traveling over hills and rocky roads, which are narrow gauge (our wagon being wide gauge) darkness over takes us some distance from our journeys end. But worst of all was the descent of the Canton mountain to Towanda creek, With high rocks on one side, a precipice on the other, overshadowed with trees and so fearfully dark that lighted matches only served to make the darkness and danger vis ible. Besides all this the road was very steep aud rough. Having arrived at th bottom of the, mountain in safety, wo very ready to put up for the night. 1! alas, houses are scarce and when we con v to one, they won't keep us. So we journc on till we find a good farmer who tells us "ho hasn't room in tbe bouse but we can stay in his barn." We thankfully accept his offer and prepare to make our beds on the hay, but before we retire the farmer concludes to make room for us in the house, Arising early in the morning we quickly drive tbe last Bix miles of our journey ar riving at Alba before our friends were up, What we did, how we got back and what we thought of the people and tbe country wo will reserve until next week.
