rtcmmt. EBENSDURC. PA., FRIDAY, - - - - JULY 29, 1881. Jnf;E 1'earson, of the Dauphin count- Court, delivered his opinion on Wednesday last in the extra legislative salary case, holding that the act of May, 1874, giving members the extra ?"00, is unconstitutional, and that the State Treasurer should not pay it. Nathan- Clifford, one of the Jus tices of the .Supreme Court of the Uni ted States, died at Coinish, Maine, on Monday last, in the 70th year of his age. Judge C. was appointed by President Buchanan in IS-, and as he had been a hopeless invalid for the last three years, his demiHe was not unexpected. His death creates a vacancy to be filled by another Ohio man, unless a new leaf is turned over in Presidential appoint ments. The potato crop in Ireland promises to be the most abundant for twenty years, and the fisheries, a great matter to Ireland, were never more prolific. No satisfactory explanation has ever been given why it is that a good potato year in that country is always a good fishing year, and that when the "rot" prevails the fishing is invariably roor. The theory of the peasants is that it is the "air" that not only affects the po tato in the soil, but even the fish in the sea. "What was long ago referred to by an ex-President as "the wild hunt after of fice"' is conspicuously illustrated by the present condition of political affairs in Lycoming county, in which there are sixty-six candidates for the oflice of coun ty commissioner. As it is a reliable Democratic county when that party is united in support of its ticket, it need not surprise, much less alarm, any one to learn that of this hungry crew of ex pectant county commissioners fifty-seven, just one more than the number of sign ers of the Declaration of Independence, belong to the dominant party, while the remaining nine are Republicans. This is a government of the people, by the leople, and for the people. A cheat many Democrats who R)US President (iarfield when he was a candidate for the Presidency, without stint or limt,.are now aeknowledeinsr that they never believed the slanders which they so falsely circulated about hira. This lying paragraph appeared last week in the Indiana Progress, the spec ial organ of Harry White in that county. If Republican editors in the present se rious condition of the President will so brazenly violate all the proprieties of de cent journalism as to indulge io sweep ing calumny and falsehood against "a great many Democrats," the insult and the lie will both be promptly resented by the Democratic press, Can you, "Wm. It. Black, editor of the Progress, name a single Democrat from Maine to Ore gon who, during the Presidential cam paign of last year, "falsely circulated" what you call "slanders," about the Re publican candidate for President ? If you can and do. we promise forever to hold our peace. Who originated the Credit Mobilier charge against Gen. Garfield ? Don't you know that it was based on the report of an investigating committee ot the House of Representa tives, made on the lth of February, 1S73, and that it was signed by Luke 1'. Poland, of Vermont, George W Mc Crary, of Iowa, and Nathaniel P. Banks, of Massachusetts, being a majority of the committee, all of whom are leading and well-known Republicans ? No Dem ocrat either in Congress or outside of it bad any connection with originating the charge, but it was solely the work of j Oakes Ames, a Republican member of j Congress from Massachusetts. Don't I you also know that the charge, or "slan ! der," as you would call it, that Gen. j Garfield, while he was chairman of the i committee on appropriations, received from the De Golyer pavement Company j 85,000 for his oflleial influence in behalf of the company with the Board of Pub ! lie Works at "Washington, was based up- on the report of a Republican committee j made to a Republican Congress?

'There is, we take it, no insuperable ob jection to corn brooms at $3. 60 per dozen, and if by this item it is to be understood that senators and members have signed a pledge henceforth to take their own corn in oroonis, the people of the commonwealth will rejoice over the advent of the material ized spirit. Long handled willow brushes have no innate turbulent tendency, though in the hands of bad men and at a cost of J7.50 per dozen, they may greatly harm the state ; as, for instance, when they are paid for, but not furnished. Whosoever has struggled with one shoe brush knows how. much of harrowing misery that seemingly inoffensive instrument is capable of inflict ing. Add four dozen to an ample stock al ready on hand, and supplementing this with two dozen shoe top brushes, ami there are the implements of torture to madden a whole legislature.

The most marvellous thing about the Re publican party, say$ the Buffalo Courier, is the control which it has obtained over the public sentiment of the North. In 1850 it was fashionable to consider a debase suffrage the great danger of the country; in I860 man hood suffrage was the first article in the creed of the infallible political part3r, and whoever denied it was anathematized ; in 1H0 a broad tolerance was in fashion, and a good Repub lican might hold either doctrine and defend the enf ranchisenient of the negro in South Carolina and the disf lanchisement of the for-eicn-born citizen in Rhode Island, Sometimes it is expedient for Republican purposes that temperance should be the key stone of political reform, and then again it nT i denounced as mere fanaticism.

When it is necessary to count into the Presidency a man who is not chosen by the people, the lights of the States are so sacred that Con gress cannot go bevond the oiBeial seal on the certificates as to the electors' votes, even to correct fraud and forgery. Right and wrong, as the needs of the party dictate, seem to become almost interconvert ible terms. There are times when it appears to be ft greater crime for a Democrat to have red hair than for a Republican to steal ?100,- In regard to individuals within the Repub lican organization, this jurious power to al ter standards, to mane and unmake heroes, is singularly exhibited.

Latham is the name of the New York statesman who was j elected on Friday last to serve out the i unexpired term of Roscoe Conkling in the U. S. Senate.

AH tuition in the College is al ready free. These scholarships, in addition to the tuition, will entitle the holder thereof to exemption from the payment of other col lege charges, for incidentals, room rent, f'jel and use of furniture. It is believed that this can be done without adding materially to the expenses of the institution, whilst its benefits will be enlarged to the extent of these scholarships.

In ten years the list of murders committed in Allegheny includes about one hundred and fifty cases, embracing some of the most Postmaster Irwin, of Salisbury, being an ap plicant for reappointment, got very angry at General White because about three weeks i since, the commission was issued to T. S. j Pearce. lie commenced, so it is alleged, j circulating stories against the General, ae- j cusing him of useing money illegitimately in j his campaigns, etc., ami tlie result wns that ! the General, growing alarmed, went to Wash- i ington, had Pearce's appointment revoked, j and the commission given to Irwin, who has , been quiet ever since. It is further stated ! that these charges have been written up by J responsible citizens and forwarded to Post- master General. General White's opponents j fearing he mayj be a Congressional candi date again next year, are getting th-nr am munition in order early. John Cessna, in accepting the judicial nomination in The Bedferd and Somerset district, said he was a Republican from choice. The Honorable John was a l)?mo crat as long as he could get anything in the Demociati party, but wheu no new field of pasture presented itself to him, lie packed his political gripsack, always unite light, and hust!ed himself Into the Republican camp And as the price of his allegiance the Republicans have kept him in oltiee al most ever since. It is not hard to account for the reason of the choice of the Bedford county fog horn it was purely and simply spoils, not principle. Altoonn Sun, crime on record. Io ofTset this appalling cata logue, it is of record that but four executions in vindication of outraged law have taken place. This state of affairs argues some thing radically wrong.

Hop Bitters, are honored and blessed by all as Inr.efictors. Democrat. M. L. Oatman, j authorized agent, Lbensburg, sells the pure j Hop Bitters. Bebford, as an off-set to John Cessna's nomination for Judge, rejoices that "the I veritable sheet on which President Lincoln died is now in Bedford, in possession of one of our citizens. The fabric is stained with the martyr's blood, and the impress of his hand, also stained with blood is distinctly discernible.' By all means mildlyfjsuggestg the Lancaster Jntelliyenccr let Cessna wave it as his gonfalon in .the pending battle for the bench. Bituminous coal is produced in twenty seven counties of Pennsylvania, and the es timated output for 1880 was 17,168,35 tons.

AVis., the oth er day, lightning struck and killed one of them "and probably fatally injured another. The third boy who was walking between the other?, felt no shock. The body of a murdered man found in the woods near Winnetka, Ills., some months ago, is now believed, from letters re ceived, to he that of Tunatz Hopf, mayor of Maffersdorff, In Bohemia, who emigrated to t li is country in December. A farmer named Wilson, living on the line of the Kingston and Pembroke Railway, in Canada, while passing through the bush unarmed on Motiday lat, was attacked by a bear, toi n to pieces am! a!mrst eaten before assistance reached the spot. Jacob Thompson, who was known in Juniata county as remarkable man, died at bis East Waterford home on Saturday, aged 84 years.

Hitherto there has been much inconveniedce in the department occasioned by delays. I Three boys, from nine to twelve vears old. named Andrew Johnson, John Hoard ' and Joseph Yates, were drowned at Fall River, Mass., on Friday, while bathing : and ! 'harley, the eleven-years old son of Mr. M. li. Cushinp, was drowned at Mlddleboro. Northern Pennsylvania whisky is pow erful, if the really magnificently proportion ed snake yarns are evidence. The latest is of a man near Williamsport who, with a dog. chased a seven-foot rattlesnake for two days and only enntured it worn out. At Ashley, Luzerne county, on Monday morning, Edith and Lottie Low, aged 10 and 12 years, were run over bv a passenger train on the Central railroad. New Jersey. They were picking coal from the track. "The for mer was killed and the latter horribly man gled and is not expected to recover. A man wagered that he could crawl through a drain .mmi feet long at Steulienville, O. He went in through an aperture scarce ly larger than his body and the spectators waited an hour for him 'to emerge at the oth er end. But he got stuck in the centre, and had to be dug out. The job lasted all day, and when rescued was almost dead. An old homeless man known as.'Buek" Miller, deliberately laid his neek on the street car track in Pittsburgh as a heavy pair of timber wheels were passing, hoping thereby to be killed. There being no load on them, and only one wheel passing over his neck, the desired result was not obtained. William A. Selly, of Baker county, Ore gon, has a flock of over 2000 sheep.

She Is young, refined and attract- i !v, and Pecker is a tramp and loafer. She took $"oo of her husband's money and the j silver plate. A curious freak of nature occurred here, says the Bound Brook (S. J.I C!troni Jr, one j day last week. Mr. John King, our whole sale teamster, had a pair of black horses, as ' all who have seen them can testify. During one of tnose very hot days last week one of the horses was prostrated by a sunstroke, j and now the horse is a light"dun color and i presents quite a st riki ng contrast to bis blck ' mate, that so well matched him before his i misfortune. We have no recollection of I ever hearing a parallel case. Evan Reese, 17 years of age, went up to i i the topmost portion" of the new breaker of i the Butler Colliery Company at Carbondale ! on Monday, and was standing on the upper screening wheel, when a companion named i Lowry arrived. The latter told Reese, to : come down or he would pull out the iron bolt holding the screen wheel, whic'i makes i thirty revolutions a minute when in motion, i Reese refused to come down and the bolt ; was thereupon withdrawn and the screen I turned so rapidly that it threw Reese fifty : feet. lie struck, bead first, upon a large '. rock below and his brains were knocked out i and bis whole body disfigured. ( The N'. V. Independent says that two ; things are noticeable about the attempted i assassination, one of which has been noticed j that the South is verv hearty in its sympa- ' thv with the victim anil it's abhorrence of the ' miserable murderer. The other is the gen- ! eral and hearty expressions of bishops, arch- j bishops, and vicars general to the same ef- feet. We do not a bit. believe in the lion- ', sense of some vaporing Protestant piivateers- men that Catholic allegiance to Rome makes patriotism with them an impossible virtue, j Ve have not noticed any lack of Isudable love of country anion!! our Catholic fellow- citizens, as compared with Protestant-;. ; j If it were permitted compare great i things with small, obs.-rves tfi New York . J World, we should sav. after mature d. -liber- i ; ation, that Mr. Conkling's action in resign- ' ing his seat was like unto that of the honest I j farmer who bitched himself up with a lusty j i yearling steer in order to accustom the ani- ' mal to the yoke. Shortly- afterwards be was i beard exclaiming. "Head ns off ! Blame our , I fool souls heie we come!" j When after thirty-six hours of hard work the ' i doctors brought him to what passed for his 1 i senses the old centieman remarked, "That ; ar steer hadn't made morn'n a dozen jumps . 1 'fore I realized that 1 had made a mistake!" ! A wonderful serptfnt known as the glass- . j snake diihles the honors with the homed I toad in making the upper Brazos nnd e--: tern Texas an interesting field for the natur- , j alists. It is from two to four inches long, j has a striped back and is not poison'. us. ' j When attacked by a foe, instead of fighting back, be emulates the possum or skunk in ' ! usingstratagem. To the utter astcii-.hment ) i of its enemy, it breaks up into a dozen pie- ! i ces, each part distinct in itself, lying on ttie . ( ground apparently dead.

I A storm in Wisconsin on Wednesilay j night did great damage, esprci illv in Coon ' - valley, twenty miles souMic.-ist of Ea Cro-se. i where proper! v was deluge. I, duns swept . away, and death and destruction marked its path. The bouse of Hans Set. s in, a Norwe- ' j gian, was surrounded by a torrent, nnd his : I wife and six children, ranging in ages from ( months to 1" years, made frenzied attempts ' ; to escape. The riintr floo.l, however, soon : engulfed them, and they were swept along I liff less with the waters." The husham!, who ! .

Two babies were born in the same : house at Oakland. Trim. The mothers were ; sisters, closely resembling each other, and . the infants were both cirls. In the excite- i menr. ot trie occasion tne nme ones got mix ed, and this happened before tbej bad been dressed, or in uny other way marked for identification. There seems to be no way out of the uncertainty, for three iv.onths have passed without developing any resem blance to the father in either case : and if the children grow up, as they seem likely to. j with the physical characteri-tics of their mothers, nobody will ever know their extict j parentage. The present agreement is to de- i c'uz the question by lot. ; On Thursday evening 11. M. Loohary and Jessie Edwards, of Cleveland, who j were engaged to be married, started out say- i ing they were coing to take a row on the : lake. Not returning that night, an inquiry ! made next day resulted in learning that a skiff had been" found capsized aoont five ! miles out by a life saving creyv, but the !oat i keeper was positive it had been hired by i four young then who had returned. Friends , were anxious, but the general opinion was the couple had eloped, though no reason for such a course existed, as their alliance was ; favored. On Saturday the body of Miss Ed- t wards was found floating in the lake five hundred feet from shore, indicating that both were drowned. j Chris. Hansen got lost in he mountains of Millward county.
