Dcrino tho session of the cabinet on
Monday the President formally tendered
fo Attorney General Williams the position
of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court if
the United States, and conferred upon Col.
II. II. Bristow, of Kentucky, who was first
Solicitor under the law cttablishing tho De
partment of Justice, from which ollico he
re-signed. more than a year ago, the vacant
Attorney Generalship. Dri.stow's appoint
ment is commended, but that of Williams
is considered entirely too thin to wash well
Tho Senato has not yet acted on there ap
pointments, but their confirmation is very
probable. -
Some of tho Mississippi Granges, in
order to induce white men to settle in that
State, have promised to furnish every white
family coming into their respective coun
ties with forty acros of land, rent free fr
five years. The Yicksburg Herald advo
cates selling instead of renting, the pur
chase money to bo made payable in Jive
annual instalments, and is confident that
the adoption of this plan by land-holders
wdnld increase the population cf 21 ssissij
pi sixty thousand in six months. Others,
who own large tracts, propose to donate
to actual white settlers every alternate
forty, which is an excellent and judicious
plan for encouraging peimanent colonists.
The Willianisport Bulletin opposes the
now constitution on the barren pretense
that it re-enacts tho law taxing real estate
for State purposes. Whereupon tho Ilar
risburg Patriot pertinently asks : - Does
not tho Bulletin know that taxes are ie icd
by direct enactment of the legislature fix
ing the precise late of assessment, and not
by constitutional provision? How can a
clause in the constitution that is clearly
designed to prohibit the favoritism and
partiality of exemptions of real property
under special laws be tortured into the ab
surd construction that it revives a tax that
has been repealed by tho legislature- ?
Every session local and special bills are
naked through tha legislature, under this
or that pretext, exempting real property
from taxation. The result is that the real
burden which the owners of this property
should bear is often shifted to the backs of
those who are less able to sustain it. To
abato this crying abuse and prevent its re
currence this provision was inserted in the
constitution, and every man of sense ia the
commonwealth knows it.
co
The New York Tribune well says: "The
only peril which threatens the new Consti
tution of Pennsylvania comes from tho
'Ring' which has so long held Philadel
phia in slavery. All over the Stats the
proposed changes are received with over
whelnrug approval. The more they are
discusacd tho more general becomes the
favor with which they rded : r.ud
it is perhaps not too much to say that the
work of the convention lias arour-cd some
thing like enthusiasm from one end of the
Commonwealth to tho other. Even
in i
Philadelphia the Couttitution will com
mand, they teil us, a large majority of
honest voters, and it is doubtful if it could
be defeated by all the false counting and
repeating which the old election machine
ry would enable tho 'Iving' to cnipl y
against it. Wa are net surprised at the
iolenee nay, the indecency with which
the election oidinancc is consequently as
sailed. Except in the overthrow of that
provision by means of the Supreme Court,
the 'Ring' has absolutely no chance what
ever. And even if tht Court should decide
against the ordinance and restore tho dis
placed election oflicars to pow er, there w ill
probably bo an onibarst of feeling among
the honest citizens which will carry every
thing before it."

IIonkpt John J, Patterson of Pennsyl

Carolina, appears to bo unfurtuuato in his
family relations. His sistcis brought him
before the courts of Pennsylvania a long
time ago on the charge that he had cheat
ed thtni in settling their father's estate,
and now Dr. T. J. Moore, his brother-in-law,
is threatening vengeance against him.
Patterson recently iiad Mooie arrested on
a charge of forgery, and the latter says it
was a uiuniihcd-ui job, intended to dam
age hint and discredit his testimony in re- !
Union to some possible disclosures of Pat
I terson raseaily t-chemes. Dr. Monro m
i sists upon it that his brother-in-law is a
lirst-c'.ass swindler and cheat, and says that
the biographical lutice of the Senator
which recently appeared in 2'Iie t'un, al
I though it was strictly true as far as it
I went, failed to do justice to the subject,
j In a conversation with a correspondent of
the Chaileiton JWirs and Courier Dr.
j Moore said that when Patterson was pay
! master in the army during the winter of
i 1S01-2, at Wheeling, Ya., lie defrauded
j the soldiers of an Ohio legiment out of

also remarking that ho was one of Patter
son's scemities to the amount of $00,000 ;
was acting as his clerk, and was perfectly
familiar with the laels in tlie ease. J;r. 1

that while Patterson was Yiee President
of the Grrenvil'e and Columbia Kaiiroad
Company he proposed to him to forge the
name of the Comptroller cf South Caroli
na to cei tain Stale guaranteed bonds of
the company which vera on hand, but
which were useless w ithout the Comptroll

A FearI'TI. Mystehy. The Yv'ellsboro
Agitator says: On Satuiday morning,
Nov. loth, while Mr. Schaff", of Midilie
buiy, was hunting in the woods about two
and one half miles north of this village, he
came across the remains of a human body
which had evidently lain where found for
a considerable length of time. The head
and feet weie gone entirely, they having
probably been eaten off by some animal,
and the llesh had all disappeared from the
remainder of the skeleton. The remains
were evidently those of a man, and the ap
pearances indicated that t lie unfortunate
was the victim of self-destruction. A large
navy revolver laid across the breast of the
skeleton, three chambers of which were
still loaded. The woodwork of this wean-
I on hr.d been considerably eaten, apparcnt
j ly bv some animal. Around the remains
were found pottions of two shirts
me of i
ied llannel. and the other a plain woolen
! one. Portions of the st. takings were also
found, and a hat was picked up near by
J cont.iir.ing a quantity of human hair. On
j Sunday a number of our citizens visited
i the place, and removed the remains to this
village, v. here they were fully idem i:ied as
: those of Mr. Louis Margraff. Thisvoung
j man suddenly disappeared from his home
: last March, and since that time no trace
had been found of him. He had been
j slightly deranged at times, and his family
j feaic-d that he had killed himself a fear
which time has shown to be only too well
j founded. It is Itelievcd that at the time
of his death he had about nine ty-uiuc dol
lars in ciiiiency on ins person ; liv.t no
trace of tho money or wallet was found
with tho remains. Put the great length
of time dui ing which they have lain a
prey to the elements and w i!d beasts ren
ders the disappeaiar.ee of the money less
suspicions. There is little doubt that the
remains are those of Louis Margraff, and
that he died bv his own hands iu a fit of
j insanity.
