An appropriate farewell address by
Mr. Naves to the American people will
founl c,n our first raze. In this ad
dress, as every one who reads it will
discover, Mr. Tlayes neither extenuates
norfiets down aught in malice, but sim
ply unfohU a plain, unvarnisneJ tale in
language which is a like creditable to
himself and eminently befitting the oc
casion. The census office announces the fol
lowing distribution of the total popula
tion of the country among the several
classes : Males, 23,.Vt',.S2 ; females,
24,032,21 ; natives of the United States.
43,475,55 ; foreign born, 0,077,300 ;
white, 43,404, S77; colored, i,SI,lA; In
dians not in tribal relations on reserva
tions uuder the care of the government,
C5,122; Chinese, 10 ),103: other Asiatics,
The offieial majority of Eckley IJ.
Coxa in the I,uzerne Senatorial district
is 3,S0f. At the election last November
his majority was 1,00". There will be
an effort made by some of the Republi
can roosters in the Senate to prevent
him taking hii sat, based upon his ad
mission.? as to his having used money at
the November election in a way not "ex
pressly authorized by law," but the ob
jection will not prove to be an obstacle
in his path.
The nomination of StanleyfMatthews
as an Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court has not yet been reported to the
Senate by the Judiciary Committee, and
the chances now are that it will not see
daylight. Matthews left Washington for
Ohio at the close of last week, regard
ing himself as about the only visiting
statesman who helped to cheat Tilden
out of the vote of Louisiana who hasn't
received his reward, although Hayes
did all he could in that direction by
sending hii name to the Senate.
The exact popular vote at the Presi
dential election, which has been a sub
ject of much disputp, seems at last to
have been ascertained by the Cincinnati
Enquirer, whose editor placed himself in
communication with the proper oCicials
in every State in the Union and has ob
tained from them the full returns of the
whole vote. The result is as follows :
"Whole vote cast, 0,100,213 ; Hancock's
vote, 4.421, lit) ; Garfield's vote, 4,410,
534 ; "Weaver's vote, 313,P'.:3 ; Dow's
vote, 10,7'.'l ; Phelps' vote, 1,133 : scat
tering, 2,122.

TrrE Ilarrisburg TJ(jr"ih, Cameron's
organ at the State capital, is completely
disgusted at the failure of the machine
to control the election of United States
Senator, and has reached the conclusion
that through the protracted struggle of
the two contending factions "the organ- !
izaiion oi uiu iiepuuiicau I'ariy is ruin
ed, and so thoroughly ruined, that an
election of anv mail to the Senate will
not be able to repair it." This is un- ;
doubtedly trn, and it is equally true
that no Republican piper in the State
has done more to brinj about the ruin
over which it now howls its lamentations
than did the Tdojvih itself.
A sad and melancholy interest will,
iays an exchange, attach to the 4th of
March next because on that day the
venerable Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine,
wiil for the first time in the history of
the Republic become a private citizen.
Perhaps the Legislature of Maine will
elect him to the vacancy which will be
caused by the accession of Senator Blaine
to the cabinet. The people may depend
uiwn it that something will happen if
Hannibal Hamlin is left out in the cold.
What the Wandering Jew is to the old
en time Hannibal Hamlin is to Ameri
can politics. He must not be permitted
to retire for a century or two yet.
Owing jto the rapid progress of the
Appropriation bill in Congress during
the past week, and to the passage of th?
three per cent, funding act, all fear of
an extra session has been removed. It
is true that the Congressional Appor
tionment bill has not yet passed the
House, but it will probably do so to-day
(Wednesday) under the o;eration of the
previous question, of which Mr, Cox
gave notice last Saturday he would avail
himself should it become necessary.
The projH)sition to fix the number of
members at 307, an increase of 14 over
the present ratio, seems to meet with
more favor than any other number, and
will pretty certainly be adopted.
0r last Monday evening, at Cooper
Institute, Judge Black delivered an ad
dress to a large meeting of the citizens
of New York who, in the language of
the call, "believe that the principles
upon which our government is founded
are worthy of preservation, and that
corporations should not be permitted to
run this country for the benefit of a fav
ored few." This is a subject which
Judge Black is peculiarly well fitted to
discuss in all its length and breadth a
subject that is fast enlisting the earnest
consideration of the people of the coun
try, and which will yet stir them as no
other subject which has undergone pop
ular agitation during the last quarter of
a century has ever yet stirred them.
Nearly all of the Republican poli
ticians in this State who have made a
pilgrimage to Garfield's residence at
Mentor, Ohio, concur in saying that his
preference for United States Senator
from Pennsylvania is G. W. Scofield, of
Warren county. How perfectly natural
thi? is ? ScoCeld was in Congress with
GarfieH, and both were tarred with the
same Credit Mobilicr stick, the testi
mony of Oakes Ames showing that when
he paid Gailic-ld a dividend on bis stock
of t-i-2'J, in June, lS, he paid Scofield
at the same time a dividend on his stock
of S'A A fellow feeliDg makes a man
wondrous kind, and why shouldn't Gar
field cliug to Scofield and want him for
the purine of playing Senator to his
Presidency ?
Is the pursuit of a big office under
difficulties John Cessna possesses won
derful powers of perseverance. During
his crooked political career, commenc
ing say in 1S04, Cessna has done as much
dirty work to promote and build up the
supremacy of Cameronism in Republi
can politics as any other man in the
State. Of course he expected to be re
warded, and believing that now was the
time when the Camerons ought to do the
handsome thing for him by taking him
under their protection and sending him
to the U. S. Senate a3 the successor of
"William A. "Wallace, he went to Har
risburg early in January and has been
hanging on the ragged edge of the Leg
islature ever since, hoping and expect
ing. Micawber-like, that something
would turn up, through the interference
of Don Cameron or with his acquies
cence, that would make his calling and
election sure. But Cameron didn't feel
like shouldering such a heavy load as he
knew the Bedford demogogue would
prove to be, 8nd Cessna's Senatorial
hopes have therefore been rudely blast
ed. He must now turn to Garfield for
his reward for services rendered as chair
manof the Republican State Committee
in the late campaign. The Philadelphia
litcor'l sums up its estimate of Cessna
as follows : "If there is anything in this
world that little John Cessna would like
more than any other thing it would be
to sit in the Senate for Pennsylvania,
If there is any place in the world for
which he is less fitted we can't name
it."
B. K. BnrcE, the colored Senator
from Mississippi, appears to be the unan
imous choice of the negro politicians
throughout the country for a place in
Garfield's cabinet, and Bruce has said
1 that he thinks he is competent for a sat
' isfactory discharge of the duties either
of Postmaster General or Secretary of
I the Interior, but would prefer the for
I ruer. Bruce has made a good reputation
in the Senate by his modest deportment
and strict attention to his business, but
he stands a far better chance of being
translated some night, as Mahomet was,
on the back of a mule to the Seventh
heaven and returning before daylight,
than of ever sitting at a meeting of Gar
field's cabinet. Senator Lamar, who is
Bruce's colleague, entertains for him a
feeling of genuine respect, and on more
than one occasion has given emphatic
expression to it. When Bruce's name
was first suggested in connection with
the Cabinet, the Republican papers as
serted that the Southern Democrats
would regard his selection as an insult,
but Mr. Lamar, in referring to the mat
ter a few days ago in Washington, sai l:
"So far from objecting to the appointment
of Senator Bruce, the Mississippi delegation
and I think most of the Southern inembers,
would choose him as the representative South- i
ern Republican. Neither I nor any other;
Siolltherln i)omocrat lms taken an active part
in his behalf, but we all feel enough friend- j voice against the suicidal act of the Commit
ship and regard for him to make it a plain ree 0f two years ago when it recalled a de
as words can put it that if; a -Southern Repub- funct convention for the purroseof perform-
lican is to go into the cabinet no appointment
would please us more than that of l!ruee.
He is modest and intelligent in short, a
noble negro."
Ox Wednesday last the joint legisla
tive convention at Ilarrisbnrg elected
J h j Michell, of Tioga county, as the
successor of Hon. Wm, A. Wallace in
the V. S. Senate, the vote standing as
follows: Mitchell, ir); Wallace, 02;
Brewster, 1 ; McVeagh, 1. The Camer
on and anti-Cameion committees of con
ference settled on Mitchell as the candi
date on Tuesday night, after several in
effectual meetings had been held be
tween yesterday week and Tuesday for
that purpose. Mitchell isalawjerand
is 43 years old. He was a member of the
lower branch of the Legislature from
1872 to 1570, inclusive, and now repre
sentsthe Sixteenth district in CongTess,
havinc been elected in 170 and re-elect- i
ed in 1S7S. He possesses very respect
able abilities, and although he is not
neary so rjnisy as AVolfe, of Union coun- j
ty, we think they are men of about the i
mental calibre. Just who Mit- ;
chell "belongs" to is a conundrum that
the future must answer. The Cameron
clan claims him as one of their own,
while the anti-machine men declare that
he is the veiy man they were looking
for. As both these claims can't be
well founded, it is a legitimate pre
sumption that one of the contending
factions has been badly cheated. Wheth
er Mitchell is a "Christian Statesman,"
as it was claimed Gen. Beaver was. we
are not able to say. (treat indeed is the
Senatorial fall from Wm. A, Wallace to
John I. Mitchell,
Tuesday last was the one hundred
and forty-ninth anniversary of the birth
of George Washington, of whom it was
said by one of the prominent actors in j
our revolutionary struggle that he was j
"first in war, first in peace, and first in j
the hearts of bis countrymen," This is j
tha highest eulogy that could be pro-
nounced upon even so great a man and
patriot as Washington, and it is as true
to-day as when it was first uttered, and
will remain true as long as the Republic
which lie did so much in establishing
continues to exist. Since the close of
the civil war an attetrpt has sometimes
been made b3- his fawning admirers to
place Grant alongside of Washington in
the affections of the American people,
and one of thera, Governor Cornell, of
New York, lately so outraged public
opinion in Grant's own presence, and
without any rebuke from him, as t3 re
fer to him a3 "more than Washington''''
in the esteem aud love of the country.
The people everywhere, from Maine to
Oregon will, however, instinctively re
sent such an insult and will continue in
i the future as they have in the past, in
common
with the civilized world, to
hxk upon Washington as the purest,
greatest and most illustrious man this
country has ever produced.
"What is the duty of a member of
the State Legislature?"' was the weighty
quest ion recently referred to the Judi
ciary Committee of IJrother Gardiner's
Limekill Club, a debating and literary
society in Toledo, Ohio, comjiosed of
colored philosophers and statesmen.
After a patient investigation of the sub
ject the committee submitted the fol
lowing report, which is as applicable to
any other Stafe as it is to Ohio :
"1. To take a free pass from ebery railroad
in de State. This puts him in a posishun to
wote against railroad monopolies an' sulid-
les.
2. lo be absent as otten an as much as
he kin, an' to draw his salary wid prompt'

Thb proceedings, brief and to the point, of
the Cunty Committee meeting held at the
Court TJonsc last Monday afternoon will be
found in our local department. The Com
mittee, or at least a majority of the members,
as is more apparent than encouraging, were
fully determined to make short work of the
Crawford county system, notwithstanding it
received a clear majority of the votes east at !
an election held in June last for the purpose
of either continuing or superseding the pres
ent delegate system, and as soon as that ob
ject was attained the meeting came to an in
glorious end.
That this was the feast to which the Com
mittee was invited we leave our readers to
judge, each for himself; yet we doubt not
that a large majority of them will agree with
us that whatever motive actuated the Com
mittee, it assumed a role for which it was
never created and accomplished a woik that
will not redound to the welfare of the rarty
whose interests it was appointed to serve.
It matters nt how honest the members were
who voted to table the resolution offered by
Mr. Fleming, which, or something akin to
which, it was their plain duty to adopt ; the
fact remains that they acted as if the Demo
cracy of Cambria have no rights which they
arej bound to respect. If they were not
willing to do the work that the Democrats of
the county made obligatory upon them by
their action last June, they should at least
have had courtesy enough to draw up an ad
dress setting forth the reasons which prompt
ed them to disobey the will of their masters
and at the same time referred the question
back to the people for their final decision.
We are no advocate of the Crawford coun
ty system, having voted against its adoption
under the firm conviction that it is a delusion
aud a snare, but when it received the endorse
ment of the party, as it certainly did when a
majority of those who voted on the question
declared in its favor, it was little short of
revolution for the County Committee to adopt
the desperate tactics of the late Thaddeus
Stevens and treat the election as though it
had never been held. It won't do for the
men who have committed this glaring and
grievous offense against the unity of the Dem
ocratic party to take refuge behind the plea
set up by themselves that the vote given for
the system in question did not express the
will of the Democracy, and that therefore
they were justified in refusing to put it in
force. A3 well might they claim that a suc-
eessfui candidate tor on.ee was not e.ecieu
because every voter in tne district out not see
fit to exercise the right of suffrage. Hut even
admitting the validity of such an excuse, how
does it come that the wise men of the Com
mittee rejected a system that secured the ap
proval of 472 Democrats and resolved to con
tinue the present system, which had only 137
votes in its favor ? Certainly t:iis conclusion
could not have been reached through any de
sire to obey the will of the party.
We don't wish to speak of this act of the
Committee in as harsh terms as we think it
deserves, but we have no hesitation in. saying
that it is as shameful as it is unprecedentedj
and if it be true, as not a few honest and
earnest Democrats are prone to believe, that
it lias been egnineered in the interest, or
supposed interest, of certain seekers after po
litical proferment, then indeed. In the estima
tion of as wise men as any of thein, have they
sown the wind of deplorable discord only to
rein tlie wli'n
,'

:mas did not hesitate to raise its
ing a work which had passed beyond its con
trol, thereby assuring a victory to our polit
ical enemies, and the Fuekman is none the
less emphatic now in condemning the want
of judgment, to put it in the mildest form
possible, which has characterized the course
pursued by a majority of the Committee in
doing what an equal number of Democrats,
not members of the Committee, would have
fully as much right to do. We don't assume
that the Committee was packed for the pur
pose of doing what it has done, and yet there
is some reason to believe that several of thos
who voted with the majority were prompted
by anything els than an earnest desire to
serve the party. Khers there were, no douot,
who acted from honest and conscientious mo
tives, but nevertheless they played into the
hands of the opposition, ai.d our only hope
now is that the damage is not too serious to
he repaired, mid that there is still plenty of
time to avert the calamity which has been
invited if not assured by the unpardonable
f""y of thoa who ouglrf to be the servants
of a party which has already suffered too
long and too grievously from the bartering,
bickerings and blunderings of selfish politi
cians. Tennessee has a Republican Governor
! and a Legislature controlled by Bepublicans
i and Kepudiators. Yet Tennessee within the
last week has been the scene of .terrible and
I unrepresed mob violence which, if it had
j occurred in a State governed by the Demo
cratic party, would have caused a howl of in
j dignation to isue from the Republican press
i throughout the country. Not in any Sonth
i ern State lias there been such disorder since
j the war as that which disgraced Tennessee
j last Saturday at Springfield, in that State, in
, the lynching of ten persons charged with
i the crime of murder. The victims of the
j mob were negroes, the crime of which they
I were indicted was clearly traced to them,
i and they undoubtedly deserved the gallows.
But the law was cheated of its proper vindi
cation bv the. unrestrained fury of the popu
I lace. It has been urged in behalf of the res
i toration of the Urpubliean party to power in

But it seems he has a poorer
show right under the imse of the Republican
Governor of Tennessee than anywhere else
in the South. It is only lair to conclude
from this that the Republican argument just
referred to does not rest on a sound basis.

Garfield a Minority President. The
Cincinnati F.nqnirrr has been at pains to pro
cure from all the States the official figures of
the popular vote for President. The result
is for the first time accurately determined.
As regards the total vote Democratic, lie
publican, Greenback, Prohibitionists nnd
scattering (ion. (iarfield is in a minority by
more than three hundred thousand ballots.
His vote was aliout eight thousand less than
Gen. Hancock's.
This showing is of interest, but really of no
practical importance. Gen. Garfield's title
is perfectly good. He was legally and fairly
elected by a majority ef the Kicotoral Col
lege, and that is what makes a President.
The trouble with Hayes was, r.ot that he
lacked alxut a quarter of a million of a ma
jority on the popular vote, but that he lack
ed nineteen votes of a majority in the Elec
toral College. These nineteen votes wore
stolon, ard we have had for two hundred

annually the sickening calamity of a nation
of five or six millions of people dying of
I famine in a land full of food, within six
hours' travel of London, ana in wuai
integral part of the British Kingdom.
An English journal, in the light of this
ever-recurring fact, professes to be ignorant
of any cause wbv the famine-cursed people
should cherish an unrelenting dislike or
those who hold them in enforced and perpet
ual indigence and beggary.
Ever vear the resid ent agents m Ireland of
the nonresident, oontiscut hit '-ndlonls col

enormous sum of between sixty and seventy
millions of dollars of tribute-money for the

monev taken as a whole, it is a tribute en

and dispossessed people is remited to Eng
land. Scaicely a penny of it finds its way
back to Ireland, or is expended on the land,
in any works of improvement, or in any
branch of manufactures or other industry.
It is carried off in the shape of grain, cattle,
swine, and butter, exactly as the Turkish
Government has collected tribute from
Egypt, from Greece, and from all its con
quered Christian dependencies.
Under the law of Groat Britain, these lion
resident feudal chiefs exact from these five
million of miserable people an annual tri
bute that strips the land completely of its
substance, and frequently leaves the farmers
dependent on the charitable contributions of
food from other nations to save them from
death bv starvation. A refusal to py this
raok-rent-tribute-nionev is followed by forci
ble eviction ami denial of the privilege of re
fuge on anv other rack-rent land in Ireland

the Irish hate the British Government,
whose laws enforce the payment of this tri
bute. ller present Maiesty ascended the throne
in 1.17. Placing the "annual tribute gather

an amount exceeding the National debt of

under this annual stripping of the land Ire
land has lM-en five times stricken with famine,
even during her present Majesty's reign?
When her very Christian Majesty began her
"glorious reign" Ireland numbered nearly
nine millions of people. Depriving them
selves of the food they produced to pay the
enforced tribute to their conquerors has re
duced ihem by famine stud expatriation to
five millions at this time : and yet the editor
of the foremost Liberal paper in England is
unable to comprehend why t'ueli i-ii io not

of remorseless plunder based upon whole

bune. Thacic Fate of a Yorso HrxTnF.ss.
A number of our exchanges contained an
account cf the killing, recently, of two black
bears by Lottie Meirill, a young huntress,
aged 18 years, of Wayne county, this State.
The following account of her de.Uh is from
the Elmira Gazette: A fearful tale is told.in
the Port .lervis Union of the fate of Lottie
Merrill, the young huntress of Wayne coun
ty, I'a. According to this account she met a
mor-t tragic death on the sth of 1-Vbuary,
being attacked in her hut by six bears, kill
ed and e.Uen by them, and her body burned
with the carcasses of some of them in her
cabin. A parly of hunter-, it is said, at the
clo.e of the day found her cabin still burn
ing, and the proofs of the horrible death she
' had died. It appears that she had been liunt-
ing that day, and hail killed a tine buck deer,
i which, alter she bad removed the entrails,
j she had dragged home on the snow. Six
i hungry bears, drawn bv tne smell of blood,
; had followed the trail to her hut, and after
j devouring the carcass of the deer attacked
j the huntress, killing her and devouring her
I body. The girl had evidently made a heroic
i defence. An examination of the carcasses
' of the six bonis in the cabin showed that she
1 must have killed two of them before being
overpowered. The carcass of one bear had
fallen against the closed door and imprisoned
them nil within the cabin, which took tin?
; and burned the others to death. In the
; cabin was found one of the huntress's heavy
j boots with the foot still in it. a bent hunting
' knife near the bones, and the antlers of the
deer she had brought home, which with the
1 carcasses of the bears furnished a complete
: key to Hie mystery. Her funeral took place
; on" Wednesday, the nth. At.least .too people
! were present at the funeral, and the old
' preacher. V- illiam Bunwiek, preached the
! sermon, relating the story of her death and
j extolling Ijer bravery and virtue to the skies,

Why Shoi-lo They? No man or woman
can do satisfactory work when the brain is
dull, the nerves are unsteady, the svstem re
laxed and they feel generally wretched. Why
should lawyers, merchants, clergymen, doc
tors, mechanics or mothers often 'miserably
drag through their work in this condition,
when a small amount of Parker's Ginger
Tonic will always, at a moderate cost, clear
the hrain, and give them the strength and the
will to perform their duties sat iof acton ly.
We have felt its strengthening and bracing
effects and can recommend it most highly.

The Kennebec (Me.) Journai records i

in that vicinity, and carried in such a man

gave a very huge and weird light and would

A Cat. of Interest to School ?oat. i
A case of more tham ordinary interest h is j
been decided by Judec Jonk, of the JefTi-r- i
son county Court. It was the petition of Dr. !
M. B. Dowry for a mandamus to compel the 1
School Hoard of Brookville boroueh to admit ,
his children to the public schools, they havinsr ,
been dismissed by the principal because of j
a refusal on the part of the father to allow I
thf-ni to comply with the rules of the school, !
the point at issue beine the desire on the part :
of the doctor that the children should not
take lessons in writing while in attendance ;
at schvd. The case was ably argued, the !
whole scope of the teacher s authority being I
reviewed, and creat interest surrounded the
case. The opinion of the .ludje was quite I
lencthy, in which he cites the law relative to '
t lie case, and concludes by refusing a man- j
damns, anil ordering that the party shall pay i
their own costs, but no personal responsibil-
it y on the part of the directors. This ending
of the case -will be valuable to other Boards j
of Directors and to teachers generally, as it i
defines their power, and parents wiil also be
puided by it. the conclusion arrived at being
that they surrender all authority over their
children" when they pass within "the door9 of
the public school building, the teacher assum
ing authority to dictate their studies as
well as their deportmeut.

in a mo,t helpless condition. "Her natural
I fair color at once became very dark, her lips
i became pink and closely compressed, her
! eyes became much larger and more glassy
and storing wide open without the least item
' of sight in them, and remained immovable,
i The whele body became motionless and as
; cold as a corpse. Around the wrist of the i
! lelt arui was a black circle, and from there I
to the tips of the fingers was as black as ink 1
' and as cold as ice, without the leat particle !
of life. The fingers wera firmly clutched j
! around the thumb, and so tightly oompress
' ed or squeezed together tht they ap;enred :
' to be welded together and formed one solid !
i body, without the least animation. Several j
! attempts were made by constant rubbing,
i bathing, and chafing with oil, but ail to no I

evry eye in the house was Instantly fixed
on the priest, and we stood within three or
four feet of him. He gazed for a moment on
that fearful spectacle bofoie him. Then
suddenly, as it under Divine inspiration, he
raised bis eyes toward heaven and fervently
implored anil besought the Kternal Son of
the Living (jod and IPs ble-;ed mother to
