STATE SENATOR.
A Williamport correspondent of tli
Harrisburg Patriot has this to say about tli
State Senatorship :
As to Senator, to fill the vacancy cauerl
by the death of the lamented Georgo I
Jackson, of Sullivan, there is a strong di
position to nominate Mr. Nathan B. Kim
ble, of Williamsport, for the place. 11
made one of tho best members Lycomliij
ever had, nnd is deservedly popular with al
parties. Ills name stands above reproach
for honesty and integrity, and he woul
make an excellent Senator. Sullivan or Col
umbia will likely claim the nominee, but
is believed that if Mr. Kimble will consen
to be a candidate, the popular feeling in h
behalf is so Btrong that he would ride into
the office on a genuine boom."
While the ability of Sir. Kimble is un
un(uestioned,the right of Lycoming to clal:
the next Senator is and will be very strongly
contested. She bad the office for the two
terms immediately preceding!-. Jackson
election, and while there are three other
countits in the district, each with a demo
cratic majority, it is not likely that the Sen
atorsbip will be conceded to Lycoming per
petually. We express no opinion at present
as to which county should have it, but are
fully satisfied that Lycoming should not.
8TAXDI.NU C03I5IITTEE.
Bnoosisiinita, Pa, June 2, 18S0.
Messrs Editors :
Now that the meeting of our standing
committee is over, as well as the sessions of
onr State convention, it may not be ami
to call the attention of your Democrat!
readers to Borne propositions that should
underlie,!! they do not, our county delegati
system.
At the outset let me say that our delegates
to the Stato Convention Col. J. G. Freeze
and John M, Clark, esqs,were men who were
eminently fit for the position and who could
have been elected under any circumstances,
I also believe that they properly represented
in convention the wishes of the Democracy
of this county. The old rule was for the
Convention to select the chairman, and as I
am informed ho selected the Standing Com
mittee, which was gradually enlarged from
1 five to eleven, I have not the data by me to
bo exact. At any rate this one man Power
was frequently abueed, especially by the
"bolt" In lbbo.in the contest between Chal
fant and Tate. To remedy this evil new rules
were adopted, and among them was onerjro-
Tiding that the Standing Committee should
consist of one member from each election
district and that they should be elected by
trie .Democratic voters at the Delegate elec
tion. inn salutary rule was intended to
give the people rerepsentatlves of their own
choice, and it followed of courte that there
wis a lull representation of the minority.
But at the late meeting of the Standing
committee, despite protest, it was prostitu
ted, and whilst no injury was done at that
time, the precedent is fraught with danger
lor the future.
In the first place- we do not believe there
is any authority for any substitutions, cer
tainly not in the rules. The members are dec
ted, not appointed, and if for any reason the
man chosen cannot attend, the power oflub
stltution falls back to the people.
But granting that he has the power of eub
atitution all reason and precedent show that
his successor must come from the body which
elected him. Otherwise our present rule is
worso than the old one. At the last meet'
lng blank substitutions were collected and
the names filled in at the will of the holder
A number of these men resided in Blooms
burg, and possibly never set foot in the dls-
tricts they pretended to represent. The Bame
process might enable the wholo to be rep
resented by men living in Iiloomeburg, On
the same theory it would be easy for a man
to go through the county and collect a ma'
jorlty if not all the substitutions and insert
his own or any other name. This would be
minority representation with a vengeance,
but Is unwarranted, and undemocratic. We
want no one manpower in tiu county.
It can readily be seen bow easy it is to get
these subititutions. There is no pay con
nected with the position and many are loath
to leave their business for a matter in which
they may think they have no immediate con
tern. Others may act from motives of friend'
ship, promises as to the future, pecuniary
motives, or other Inducements.
Tho next Convention should take hold of
tills question, and the people should elect
thceo who are able and willing to serve, or it
substitutions are to be made let it be by the
people of the dktrlct, or of one from among
their number. II.

The supremo Court of Pennsylvania has
recently rendered several iraportantdeclalons
of general interest in the matter of road tax
es. The rljrht of farmers to work out theli
road tax has been generally, If not unlyer
sally, conceded, mpervisors In a few town
ships insist that the tax must bo paid it
money A test case has been decided in
favor of tho tax payers, and their right to
work out their taxes distinctly and finally
affirmed. In other cases collectors of road
taxes have claimed a commission on the
taxes worked out, as well as that paid into
tho county treasury. The Supreme Curt
decides that all claims for such commissions
should bo rejected, the working out of the
tax imposing no labor on tho treasurer, but
on the supervisor, who is fully paid for his
services'.
THE CHICAGO CONVENTION'.
The Kepubllcan National convention met
at Chicago on Tuesday. For several days
previous the clans were gathering from all
sections of tho country, and the crowd of Im
perialists, anti-third termers, Shermanltes,
Itlalnltes. and others was immense. The
Grant party was headed by Senator Conk'
ling and Dun Cameron, the chairman of the
national committee. A meeting of this com
mittee was held on Monday and Cameron
showed a disposition 10 take the bit in his
mouth and run things pretty much bis owu
way. This did not suit a large number of
members, and loud threats were made that
if Cameron insisted on enforcing the unit
rule in the convention he would be deposed
as chairman, and a more conservative man
put in his place. Cameron expressed the
utmost confidence in the nomination of
Grant, with or without the unit rule, but ns
the fiitht waxed hotter the strength of the
opposition became more and more apparent,
Notwithstanding the fact that the New York
convention declared in favor of the unitiUle
twenty-two delegates from that Stato Bigned
the following protest:
The undersigned delegates to the Repub
lican National Convention, representing our
several Congressional districts in the State
of New York, desiring above all the success
of the Bepublican party at the approaching
election and realizing the hazard attending
an injudicious nomination, declare our pur
pose to resist tho nomination of General U.
o. Grant by all honorable means. We are
siucero in the conviction that in New York
at least his nomination would ensure defeat.
We have a great battle to fight, and victory
is within our reach, but we earnestly protest
against entering the contest with a nomina
tion which we regard naunwise and perilous.
That Blaine is the choice of a largo ma
jority of the republican party cannot be
doubted, and that Cameron and tho other
machine managers went to Chicago to defeat
the will of their party by nominating
Grant, is just as certain. They wanted a
"strong caudidate" which simply means a
man who has the audacity to attempt to have
himself inaugurated whether he should be
elected or not.
Judge Hoar was made temporary chair
man by a compromise,and it was agreed that
the unit rule should be left to a vote of the
Convention.
Up to the timeof going to press (Thursday)
no news has been received of a nomination
It looks now as though it would be neither
Blaine nor Grant. Kdmond's chance seems
to be brightening. It makes but little dif
ference who tho republican candidate may
be, the next President will be named by the
Democratic Convention at Cincinnati.
Indians at Carlisle.
Spotted Tail, Red Cloud .American Horse
and White Thunder and other chiefs, on a
visit to the Indian school at the old bar
racks, were highly delighted with the man
agement of the institution, except in one
particular the rule providing for the pun
ishment of serious misbehavior by impris
onment in the guard house being distasteful
to them.
The meeting of the chiefs who have chil
dren in the school with their offspring was
very affecting. Two Strike, who has two
boys in the institution, and Spotted Tail,
who has four boys and one girl there, warm
ly embraced their children and shed tears
of joy. The cbiefs were conducted through
the several school departments and gave the
exercises the closest attention.
Subsequently Spotted Tail made an ear
nest speech in the chancel in the presence of
the other visiting Indians and a number of
whites. He complimented the management
of the school, except Its military feature, re
marking that the children had been sent
there to be eddcated, and not to have them
converted into soldiers.
He complained that some of the boys who
were too young to have hearts had been put
into the guard house. Captain Pratt, who
has charge of the school, demanded thi
names of the pupils so treated, and Spot
ted Tall reluctantly replied that one of his
sons had been treated in that manner. Af
ter being told there was no military signifb
cance in the blue uniforms and drilling ex
erclses hU feelings wero much mollifled.but
ho insisted that the guard house punishment
was not founded on humane principles.
Other b ja have been committed to the guard
house, but only after a court of their fellows
had adjudged them deserving of the treat
ment.
The visiting Indians were conducted
through the various workshops connected
with the school.
Spotted Tail and Red Cloud sent congrat
ulatory telegrams to their friends In Dakota
Territory.
On Thursday eyening Interesting ceremo
nies were held in tho chapel of the school,
Right Rev. M. A. DeWolf Howe, Bishop of
the Protestant Episcopal Church for the Di
ocete of Central Pennsylvania, assisted by
Rev. Dr. Leverett, of Carlisle, performed
the rlto of confirmation over twelve Indian
children, eight lov,s and four girls. The
tfivkfs were very Jmpree&Ive and wero at
tended bv all the vil tins chieftains. The I
visitors remained at the school over Sunday, I
Why Were They Pardoned.
The reasons for the pardon of Kcrab1e,tlie
legislative briber, are gradually coming to
light. Ills stated that Kcmbte's contribu
tion to the Iloyt campaign of 1878 wrts ten
thoutand dollars. It is said on good author
ity. Itesldes this, It Is alleged that he al
lowed the Chairman of theS'ate Cnmmltteo
to overdraw his committee account with the
People's Hank to tho extent of thlrtv thou
sand dollars. It is In the nature of man to
be grateful, and there are better reasons for
Kemblo'a pardon than tho little legal screen
Attorney General Palmer put forth. Some
of these reasons are best known to Camer
on, who Is the arch-conspirator. Kemble Is
only a satellite. Above and beyond him
are the true offenders. Villainy has Its day
everywhere, and it will have It in this State.
Some rich develpments will then be made-
Mauch Chunk Democrat.
It is believed that there wilt not be n quo
rum in the House of Representatives at
Washington this week, owing to the hegira
of Republican members to Chicago. It was
difficult to drum up a quorum last week
and since then the number of absentees has
greatly Increased. Most of tho Republican
members who have gone to Chicago have
secured pairs. In some instances it is slip'
ulated that the pairs are not too hold good
if the votes of the members present who are
paired should become necessary to show n
quorum. But In many rases the pairs are
absolute. Members of Congress have no
business to leave their posts of duty for the
purposo of attending political conventions,
It is to hoped that the Democrats in Con
gress will not imitate the bad example
Fct by the republicans. Let them remain in
their places and attend to the public bust
nes. There is statesmanship sufficient out
side of congress to nominate a presidential
ticket. Patriot.
A Sunday Cyclone.
The most destructive wind and storm ex
perienctd in the Muucy valley fur many
year, pa-sd through a part of Muncy Creek
township Sunday evening about 9 o clock,
The destruction resulted from the meeting of
two storms between ClarkBtown and Muncy,
one coming from the south and the other
from the west. Tho damage done was very
heavy. The followiug particulars of some
of the losses have been obtained : Tho largo
barn of John Beeber (miller) was leveled
with the ground.two vilusble horses and three
cows killed, wagons broken etc. The barns
of George Watt and William Beeber were
also destroyed, and the large and valuable
bams owned by Amos Shlpman and Jacob
F, Hill were unroofed and otherwise dam
aged. Mr. Hill was engaged in putting
away his wagons, when the roof was wrested
from his barn' and carried about 200 yards,
His fruit trees were also destroyed. Thomas
J. Opp, Jacob Whitmoyer, FraDcts Beeber,
nnd others tuflered considerable loss to bull
dings. The fine grove of Mr. George Bieber
about a mile and a half from Muncy, near
Trum-.i's mill, was about all blown down. It
contained some Sue timber and the loss will
be considerable.
Much destruction of trees, feuces, ot.:., in
the vicinity of Munoy was wrought,
The storm only covered a narrow track in
destructive force.but its course is marked by
destroyed and damaged buildings.fallen tim
br,u proofed orchards and prostrated fences.
The wind was accompanied byn torrent of
rain, the most vivid lightning and terrific
peals of thunder. The district visited is one
the finest parts of Muncy Creek valley, and
the less will be many thousands of dollars.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington,. I). C.May. 2"ih ISSO.
Filibustering was the order of the day in
both Houses of Congress yesterday, the
republican minority in the Senate on tho pas
sage of the new electoral rule, and the anti
adjournment party in the House. After a
spirited debate, and tho non concurrence in
numerous amendments, tho joint rule passed
the Scnato by a yote of 25 to 15. It is to be
hoped that Congress will not adjourn until
both Houses concur in tbejoint rule. There is
not a moro important and imperative duty
devolving on them than tho establishment of
some rule for counting the votes of Electors
of President and Vice-President. The com
ing electiou will bo a most exciting one. The
minds of the entire naticn will bo wrought
up to a high state of partizan feeling, tho
memory of tho crime of 1876-7 will add to
the animosity that will bo engendered. Be
fore the lurious war of words is inaugurated
Congress should Bee to it that evory precau
tion and available means is taken against end
ing in another and more severe mode of war
f are. No sane man is or should bo willing to
ake the awful risk which was taken in 1877.
There, a cival war was imminent one in com
parison to which tb,e lao war would have
been but a drop in the bucket, and it surely
would have been inaugurated carrying devas
tation and ruin into every village and hamlet
throughout the land bad it not been for the
patriotic forbearance of the Democratic par
ty. The electoral Commission was bound it
would not Inquire into fraudulent returns
It accepted them steeped in all manners of in
iquities and stole the votes of two Btates in
order to Beat in the Presidential chair a fraud.
The people at large want no more electoral
commissions. Upon another such a trial for
bearance would cease to be a virtue.
The Joint rule reported by Senator Mor
gan provides for an orderly, dignified and
equitable count of tho votes When objec
'ions are made to returns or alleged returns
the two Houses are to separate, and ono
hour is to bo allowed for the determination
of each disputed case.
Ifbutone list of votes of electors from
any states has been submitted to each Houso
for its decision and it shall appear that the
Houses haye not concurred in rejecting said
list,8Uch votes shall not bo counted if moro
than one list of votes of electors from any
one State, or paper purporting to be such list
has been submitted to each House for Its
decision upon objections made thereto,and it
shall appear that the Houses have not con
curred in receiving such list they shall each
be declared by tboPresldcntJof the Senate.in
the presenco of tho Senate and the House
of Representatives, as being rejected. And
no list of votes of the electors so rejected
shall afterwards be read in the presence of
the two Houses except for information, It
further provides a careful and circumspect
mame lor an trie details 01 1 Lie joint conven
tion and its proceeding to the announcement
of the final result.
I fail to see the ground upon which the
Republicans base their objections, unless it
is that they wish to enact the proceedings of
1870-7.
The House in the Committee of the whole
is hard at work on the sundry Civil Appro
priation Bill.
It is now generally conceded that Congress
n justice to itself and the country cannot
adjourn before the middle of June as many
important bills are now pending that require
prompt attention,

LONDON LETTER.
London, England, May 10, 1880,
society and Brier.
We are treading close upon the heels of
the London season, What, then, are the
prospects for trade and pleasuro during the
coming months, when tho metropolis will be
turned into one huge fair, the streets crowd
ed, tho roadways blocked with carriages,
the daytime almost too brief for the fulfill
ment of innumerable engagements, night
lltoralltvturncd into day, and society hurry
ing to and fro between dinner party and
ball, cricket match nnd flower show, park
and opera, afternoon reception nnd French
play? The most confirmed grumbler can
scarcely look with jaundiced eyes on the
summer programme that is already issuing.
On all sides there are signs of encourage
ment and promise. The youthful-are cheer
fully determined tn face the fatigues of so
ciety, and the middle aged follow their lead,
The Prince and Princes of Wales with their
popular boys, safo and sound from their sea
trip, are prepared as ever, to devoto them
selves to the service of the public, nnd will
be found wherover thero is a good work to
be inaugurated or a deserving charity to be
encouraged. Phllanthrophy, science and
literature, music and the drama nono of
these things will be neglected by the Heir
to the Throne of England, whose most ge
nial countenance will certainly bo seen
wherever his presence can promote what is
useful, and wbtrever his assistance is requi
site for the better development of manly
sports and exercises. Meanwhile, political
antagonism and doubt are at an end. The
new Parliament will soon have settled down,
and the business of the Sesstou got Into
good working order. New brooms will do
their utmost to sweep clean; work and play
,wlll be cheerfully alternated; and, as there
is a vast amount of labor to be accomplish'
ed, in order that promises may be duly ful
filled, there is every propct of a busy Ses
sion, which means a season protracted far
into the sultry days of summer.
Notwithstanding tho severe prohibitory
regulations that restrict tho traffic, the im
portation of cattle from foreign countries
has of late gone on increasing. In 1878 the
number of foreign animals landed at the six
privileged pwrts was 1,200,423. Jn 1879 it
was 1,241,847; and If, as most people ex
pect, trade continues to improve and wagts
rise, the Import will, of course, grow rather
than fall o(T. The fact that some 15,000 cat
tle are killed every week at the Debtford
landing-place ought to indicate that not only
Is the foreign ctttle trade a large one, but
that the regulations enforcing slaughter at
the port of debarkation must seriously raio
the price of beef. It may thus (come to a
grave question whether it would not be pjs
Bible to relax the restrictions now placed
upon Importation of cattle from the Unit
ed States. There is no virulent type of (lis
ease ranging in that country. No case of
plague can he discovered within its fron
tiers; and, although sometimes cattle from
American ports show sywiptoms of pleuro
pneumonia when they are landed, yet it
must be borne in mind that when brought
over alive' they are exposed to weather of
the worst Bort and deprived of exercise in
captivity. The strongest and healthiest ai-
imals, in such cases, may contract pulmo
nary disease-", but, for all that, it may very
well be that no pleuro pneumouiH was
among them when they were put on board
ship. If this is the case aod there is good
scientific authority for saying that it is so'
Mr. Mundella should set about making the
foreign cattle trade as free as is compatible
with general safety. He should put Amerl
ca ou the same footing as Spain and Por
tugal. C. A. S.
Counterfeiters in Reading.
On Tuesday last, Capt. R.J. Linden, the
well-known detective, accompanied by three
of Pinkerton's men, arrived in this city,
andimmediatelyJpoBted themselves about the
principal hotels and cigar stores in the city,
From. their movements it was evident that
they were after big game. Yestarday aftir
noon, as the four o'clock train was about
leaving for New York, three well-dressed
men, each carrying a valise, arrived at the
depot and purchased tickets for New York,
They were about taking passage on the train
when they were surrounded by Captain Lin
den and his detectives and taken before AI
dermm Graul, who had issued a warrant for
their arrest. Upon their arrival at the al
derman's office, their valises were searched,
and found to contain $7,700 In .counterfeit
15 and $10 Philadelphia and Reading rail
road scrip. The men arrested wero Edward
Hall, a notorious New York forger, who is
sued the scrip; Mike Walsh, a noted cracks
man, who served a term of five years in the
eastern penitentiary for robbing a bank at
Wellsboro, this State, and Robert White,
another noted New York criminal. After a
bearing before the alderman they were taken
to the county prison. The bogus scrip is
exceedingly well executed, the signatures
of Franklin B. Gowen and S. E. Bradford,
the treasurer, being perfect. The scrip was
In packages of 1500 each. Pinkerton's de
tective agency, at Philadelphia, had receiv
ed information some weeks ago which led
them to believe that bogus scrip was being
manufactured and circulated, and the de
tectives have been shadowing Hall, day and
night, having arrived in Reading on the
train immediately following tho counterfeit
ers. The men found some difficulty tn dis
posing of their scrip, nnd concluded to dis
tribute it along the line. It is understood
that they have some confederates in this
city, who are also known to the officers.

Wo herobv nnnounco to the nublic that our Kebuiliilnj' Operations
now in progress, will include some
and during tho summer materially reduce tno sizo ot tne building,
We find ourselves with tho largest stock wo have over had at this
stage of the season, aggregating almost
A MILLION DOLLAItS IN VALTJF,
iVnd it is not only desirable, but necessary, that a largo portion there
of should bo closed at once.
Although tho crreat bulk of this
of values much lower than now, we have determined after careful con
cidcration, instead of storing away tho goods, to distribute among our
patrons and consumers generally, Bay one-halt, or
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars Worth
At such prices as may bo necessary in order to speedily close. Wo
have, therefore, inaugurated
A GREAT CLOSING SALE
In every Department, and propose o distribute such bargains among
the people, far and wide, as will bo our most effective advertisements
for the now storo wo propose to open in tho early autumn.
TAKE PAKTICUFiAU NOTICE :
We do not claim lo have reduced everything, for there are certain
goods in such limited Ptipply that, wo can scarcely meet the demand.
Snch Goods Will Not Be Reduced. But outside of these a
radical mark-down has taken place, and many goods that are selling
well are marked away down to insure their immediate clearance. The
opportunity to secure bargains is a very unusual one, and buyers of
Dry Goods the couutry over should promptly put in an appearance ut
our house
All who need Dry Goods or who can be induced by the certainty of
saving, to anticipate their wants should visit us in person, tfrom
present indications tho goods will be sold too rapidly to insure" in all
cases perfect satisfaction iu the filling of orders through the Mail Or
der Department during the continuance of this great closing sale.
Discarding all sensational or exaggerated statements wo throw upon
tho market this immense stock of Dry Goods, determined to sell the
amount named at whatever sacrifice may be necessary to accomplish
object.
Our organization and our facilities for distributing large quantities
of goods are believed to be unequalcd, but every effort will bo made
to strengthen it and increase its efficiency during this closing sale, so
that all who visit us may be waited ou promptly and to their entire
satisfaction.
