T question, "Does repudiation re
pudiate ?" will soon be settled by the
Supreme Court of the United States,
from the fact that what is known in
Virginia as the Itiddleberger refuutl
ing bill, which is onlj another name for
repudiation, has just reached that body.
The mode of settling the entire debt of
the State i inrolved in the case.
A Catholio priest in Donegal,"Ire
land, telegraphed to the J-ondon Daily
Jfexvt that he accompanied Mr. Treve
lyn, Chief Secretary of Ireland, on a
tour of inspection, and out of twenty
families visited by them there was not
a morsel of food in any house. This
is a horrible picture of destitution and
speaks trumpet-tongued against the re
morseless and cruel result of Irish land
lordism. Governor IIott's message to the
Legislature shows that the State debt
amounts to $20,236,083,23,and that from
this sum must be deducted the assets in
the Sinking Fund, amounting to 17,092,
9S3.82,leaving the actual State indebted
ness on December 1, 1S32, f 12,232,099.
f. During the last four years the re
duction on the debt has amounted to
one million, six hundred and fifty thous
and dollars.
Tub Senate of the United States will
vote on the Fitz John Porter bill at 2
o'clock on this (Thursday) afternoon,
in accordance with the unanimous
agreement to that effect entered into
last week by the supporters and oppon
ents ef the measure. It is conceded
that it will pass the Senate, but there are
eo many important matters pending in
the house that it is not at all probable
a vote on the bill will be reached in that
body during the six weeks that remain
of the present session, and that it will
hare to go over until the new Congress
meets next December.
The Legislature reassembled on Tues
day last at 7 p. m. In tha Senate the
chair announced the standing commit
tees, and after a few bills had been read
lm place, Mr. Watres, of Laokawanna,
offered a resolution, which was adopted
for the appointment of a committee of
five to investigate the official acts of
John C. Delaney, Senate Libiarian.
Wat re s is a waim friend of Dalaney and
the purpose of course is to whitewash
him ; but he ought to be convicted on
general principles. In the House the
epeakrr said he was not prepared to an
nounce th4 standing committees and no
business of Importance was transacted.
Ik accordanco with the rules adopted
by the last Democratic State convention,
the Democratic State Committee will
meet atthe Bolton House, Harrisbarg.
on Monday next, to elect a Chairman,
Permanent Secretary, and an Executive
Committee of seven ; and to trausact
such other business as the Committee
may determine. Under the rules, a
county will be entitled to a representa
tive delegate in the State convention for
each one thous&fiil Democratic votes cast
at the last preceding gubernatorial elec
tion,or for a fraction thereof amounting
to 500 or more. As Cambria gave Pat
tisen 4,247 votes she will be entitled to
four delegates in the convention, which
will contain 359 members.
Archbishop Purckll, old, poor and
tottering on the brink of the grave, hav
ing received a Christmas present of six
ty dollars from a friend, sent it to the
Cinninnati Catholic Telegraph for the
benefit of his creditors. There is some
thing peculiarly touching in his letter
enclosing the money to the proprietors
of the TtUgruph. While his financial
operations were most unfortunate and
terribly disastrous to a large number of
persons, no breath of suspicion of dis
honesty on his part has been whispered
against the aged Archbishop. Ills let

Ma. Owe Smith, Proprietor of the Cart.
Ue TeUmpDaT Sir: Havir.jr learned that

JrsT before the adjournment of the
Legislature on Wednesday of last week
until last Tuesday, to enable the Speak
ers of the Senate and House to appoint
the standing committees, a resolution
was offered in the IIouso by a member
from Philadelphia, and unanimously
adopted, declaring : "First, that the
session of 18S3 should bo distinguished
by a close and constant application to
the business for which the members
have been chosen by the people. Sec
ond, by a strict construction of the or
ganic laws f the State. Third, by a
auppression of all useless offices and a
reduction of the expenses of the House
so far as compatible with the public in
terests ; and, fourth, by an early ad
journment." If these avowed purposes
are carried out there is a fair prospect
that the session will not greatly, if at
all, exceed one hundred days, and a hun
. dred thousand dollars will be saved to
. thij public treasury. It is not prudent,
with past experience as our guide, to
-place too much reliances upon such
fair promises. They are easily made and
likely to be as easily broken, and we
simply put them ou record now so that
when the session is brought to a close
our readers will be abie to judge tur
them4ves whether or not the perform
ance has coruejup to tha high-sounding
poi.a of tha iuAUifftoio.
Whether on hot the Court House
in New Bloomfield, Perry county. Is
nearer the Court House in Carlisle than
the Court House in Harrisburg is, seems
to have become an important question
in the contested election case between
Bossier. Rep., and Wagner, Dem., in
the Cumberland and Adams Senatorial
district. Both candidates refeide in
Cumberland county, Bossier having
amassed a fortune as a government con
tractor in supplying beef to the Indians
in Dakota and other western territories.
Wagner was elected by a small major
ity and now occupies his seat in the
State Senate. A few weeks ago Bossier
began proceedings in the Cumberland
county court at Carlisle before Judge
Herman, who is a Democrat and a near
relative of Bossier and for that reason
declined to hear the case. His duties
then devolved by law upon the nearest
President Judge, and that is the bone
of contention Bossier claiming that the
two judges in Harrisburg,"Simonton
and McPherson, bothlRepublicans, are
nearer than Judge Barnett, of Perry
ounty, who is a Democrat. Bossier, at
his own expense, has had the distance
chained from Carlisle to the Perry coun
ty Court House, and the surveyor re
ports it to be 13 miles and 17 rods, go
ing by way of Sterrett's Gap ; but Wag
ner's attorneys claim that the distance
is one mile shorter by Craine's Gap.
On the other hand, it has been found
by actual survey that the distance from
Judge McPherson's residence in Har
risburg to the Carlisle Court House is
17 miles and 263 rods. A literal con
struction of the act of Assembly of 1874
would seem to require a measurement
on an air line. The case was adjourned
by the court from yesterday week until
yesterday, in order to have some more
surveying done presumably the dis
tance from Carlisle to New Bloomfield
by the Craine Gap route. When each
party to an election contest is afraid io
trust his case to the decision of a Judge
unless he belongs to his own party, It
shows that there is something especial
ly rotten in Denmark,
Xo matt in this country ever before
had the Presidential itch to such an
alarming extent as ex-U. S. Senator
McDonald, of Indiana, is now suffering
and from which there is no hope of his
recovery until after the meeting of the
next Democratic National Convention,
in 1884. He is an able man, with a
good public record, and is exceedingly
popular in his own State, but if ho ever
stood any chance of being nominated his
unseemly and overweening" anxiety in
his own behalf, as recently manifested
on more than one occasion, has effectu
ally destroyed it. It is a painful spec
tacle to see a raau engaging personally
andpublic'.y in a movement having for
its aim his nomination for the high and
responsible office of President. The peo
ple will then turn away from the sight
with utter disgust, as they have done on
several memorable attempts at the same
game that the Indiana ex-Senator is now
playing. It is not pleasant reading to
learn from an Indianapolis dispatch
dated on Friday last, that at a gathering
of Democratic editors and politicians,
which took place in that city on thefpre
vious night, and at which Mr. McDon
ald was formally nominated for the
nominated for the Presidency, he him
self was present and made a speech in
which ho accepted the nomination. The
past political history of this country
shows that is a very easy matter to over
do the business of bolstering up the
candidacy of any particular individual
for the Presidency, and especially so if
the proposed candidate himself lends his
open personal efforts to the project. Un
less we are terribly mistaken, the Indi
ana "claimant" will signally fail in the
task he has undertaken, and will bo a
much wiser man after the next Demo
cratic National convention adjourns
than he was in Indiana at the meeting
a week ago last night.
Ir the Star-route conspirators swind
led the treasury out of an almost fabul
ous amount of money, as they most as
suredly did, the four lawyers who have
been employed by the Government to
conduct the prosecution against them
are in a fair way, to use a vulear phrase,
of making a nice thing out of it, They
are Bliss, of New York, Ker, of Phila
delphia, and Merrick and Wells, of
Washington. It seems that up to Mon
day last Bliss has been paid $30,000 ;
Ker, $23,000, Merrick, 510,000, and
Wells at the rate of ?20 per day since he
has been employed. These sums cover
the amounts for professional services at
the former trial, as well as during the
present one, which may be said only
to have fairly commenced. Merrick is
much the better lawyer of the four, and
yet he has bagged only one fourth the
amount received by Bliss; while Ker
has feathered his nest with more tkan
double the amount paid to Merrick.
Wells, of course, won't be anxious to
see the jury retire until the fourth of
July, seeing that his daily pay is twen
ty dollars. There is a good deal of very
loud talk among Congressmen about the
propriety of an investigation of the
question bow these contracts for fees
were made, and it ought to be done. If
the present trial last as long as the first
one the pay of Bliss will amount to 530,
000. He is a brother of Dr. Bliss, who
wanted to be paid $23,000 for attending
Garfield after he was'shot. On the ques
tion of fees they are experts.
Got. rATTisox has tendered to Col.
Fressly N. Guthrie, of Pittsburg, the
office of Adjutant General of the State
and the tender has been accepted. This
is an appointment eminently fit to have
been made. Col. Guthrie served in the
Union army during the whole of the
war and won rapid promotion for cour
age and meritorious performance of his
duties. He is now Colouel of the Eigh
teenth Regiment, National Guard, and
comes of good Democratic stock. Jno.
It. Hartranft, who is the Major General
of the Guard, declared some time ago
that if Faltison refused to re-appoint
Latta, the present Adjutant General;
he (Hartranrt) would resign his posi
tion. Pattison has now given John F.
a chance to go, and we hope be will not
stand uiKn the order of Lis going, but
20 at once.

Re(lr Correspondence of the Fbibm am.
Philadelphia, Jan. 7, 1885.
Dear Henrt The eighty-second
chapter of the nineteenth century has
closed, and let us bgin the record of
the new year with hopeful hearts and
becoming gratitude for the infinite
goodness that marked the progress of
our comings and goings. New proof of
the stability of republican government
have been found in the orderly adminis
tration of affairs which followed upon
the murder of our President, and in the
steady growth of fraternal feeling We
tween the lately warring states of the
Union. No plunge or scourge ravaged
our land. There has been no halt in
the developments of our acricultural or
mineral wealth. Our towns and cities
are increasing in wealth, affluaBce and
population. The year of 12 will take
its place in history as one of the most
beneficient of departed years. The peo
ple of the United States have shared to
the full in the auspicious heritage of the
year.
America still remains the chosen land
of the poor and oppressed of all lands
and climes. Here tho immigrant finds
the largest scope for the exercise of his
faculties aud the broadest basis of relig
ious and political freedom that the world
has yet known. When the persecutions
of the middle ages are revived against
the Jews in Russia the victims pause not
in their lli?ht until they have found pro
tection beneath the American flag.
When the Irish, Germans, Italians,
Scandinavians, and the people of all oth
er lands, desire to seek new homes their
thoughts Erst turn to the United States.
In spite of all drawbacks, the products
of American skill are finding Ihir way
into the markets of the world, defying
competition. Immense crops have been
gained, and the constant widening of the
area of cultivation of our cerials indi
cate that the country will have abund
ance to supply the deficits of the world.
Time's whirligig spins its annual
rounds continually, but the windy ways
of man are as dust which quickly rises
up and as quickly laid again. Tha thresh
hold of the year is a favorable time for
retrospection, and it is well to adhere to
the good fashion of making resolutions,
for even if they are forgotten oi disre
garded, ther9 is a gain in having made
them, and in making plenty of them,
too. It is well for us that we cannot
withdraw the veil that hides our future.
Could we anticipate what is in store for
us that future would mar all the en
joyment and peace of the present. To
morrow is nothing more than a world of
prophecies. To-morrow we do not
know, and it is well that we do not. It
is indeed well that we cannot pierce the
invisible veil that conceals alike our
joys and our sorrows. Well for us is it
indeed that we cannot see through the
gloom or shadow of coming ills, trials
and afflictions.
Many prominent names attract atten
tion in the cronology of the past year.
The death reaper worked heavily in tho
ranks of men of hitter. Ainsworth,
Dana, Rosetti, Emnierson, Longfellow,
Marsh, Blanc, Auerbach and others,
all fell by the death reair's scythe.
All of these eminent men finished their
work about the same time, and all have
been given a lare space In obituary
columns. Many Statesmen Heroes and
men of Science shuttled off their mor
tal coils last year. I could fill a column
of the Freeman' with the names ot the
eminent dead of 1882. But it is not of
the eminent deal I think most of at this
time, but of the humble dead, some that
the world has never heard of, and wtio
have left sadder vacancies than have
the eminent dead.
I regret, that in this, rny first letter in
the new year, I cannot with pleasing re
flection, boast of having made a credit
able record in the old year. I cannot
felicitate myself with tLe consciousness
of having done anything so ennobling
that it would make a marked point in
my history. But in a retrospective
glance over my record in the last twelve
months, in which there nothing seen in
the horizon in which I can take just
pride, as a hopeful observer there is a
seeming prospect of doing laudable
things during the twelve months. The
old year closed rather unpropitiously,
but the new year is opening up a pros
pect of a new era of development in vir
tuous action. While the past year,
which brought with it joys and sorrows,
brought no special joy for me, it bro't
nothing to prevent me from gratefully
welcoming in the new year. If I have
no cause for satisfaction in the past, I
have good reason for hoie in looking
forward to the future
I will take occasion to inform the
readers of the Freeman who have a de
sire to see Etta Ophinchiithat they can
do so by getting up in the morning at
4 o'clock on the 20lh inst. At that
time Ophinchia, a star in the constella
tion of Serpent Bearer, in conjunction
with Venus, will be near enough to be
seen, and the sight will be worth getting
up at that early hour to see. Etta Oph
inchia, like Venus, is "some pumpkin"
of a star. Venu3 is morning star
throughout January. She is the fairest
and brightest of the starry throng that
makes the morning skies tremulous
with brightness.
From what witness J. A. Walsh has
said to President Arthur about the tes
timony before the Washington Grand
Jury, there is no doubt about Mr. Bliss,
aGovernment attorney on the Star route
cases, being a man in the wrong place.
If Mr. Walsh's oath is to be relied on,
Mr. Bliss is sympathizing with tho Star
route thieves, and was instrumental in
permitting Senator Kellogg to escape
being implicated with Brady and the
others. Mr. Walsh reviews at length
the court proceedings against the in
dicted men. He clearly recounts the
failures and omissions of those charged
with the prosecution, and tells the Pres
ident plainly that if he intends to put
the prosecution of the Star -route thieves
above suspicion, that he will have Mr.
Bliss removed, and fill hi3 place with an
honest man. It is terrible to contem
plate, and most humiliating and degrad
ing to think and believe, that the laws
of the land have been wantonly and
shamefully violated by the Star-route
thieves and their friends and agents;
witnesses of the Government have been
terrorized by them ; juries have been
corrupted by them ; Government offi
cers have been made to violate their
oaths, and even justice it?elf has been
made a mockery of in the Capitol of the
Republic. Can it be possible, that in this
Republic, men in the full glare of day,
can as organized plunderers, unblush
inglv and openly defy the power of the
Government, through the aid of govern
ment officials. The Star-route thieves
can only escape conviction and punish
ment through the corruption and man
ipulations of the Government. G. N. 6.
A frightful boiler explosion occurred on
Tuesda) at Ne. 1 blast furnace, Bethlehem
(Pa.) Iron Company, rasultiug in the death
of five men and a woman, and in the serious
injuring of several others. Ten boilers were
located over theengino house at an elevation
of 35 feet. Fire of these were 40 iacbes in
diameter and 36 feet Ion a, and the others
were smaller and were used for beating pur
poses. Two of the largest boilers exploded
with terrific foiee, wrecking the interior of
the engine house, and demolishing nearly
half the pattern shop, adjoining the engine
housa. One boiler was earried through the
ventilator and broka through the roof of
the o!d mill and fell to the crround. Of the
iea boilers only three were r-it In position.
Narbow Escape ibom Death. When
the regular train which left Kat Portags yes
terday morning i nearing ihr bridge orer
tho Winnepg Hirer the diirer notioed a man
walkii.K on the structure. The train ap
proached the bridge by a curve, so that the
man could not be bis danger. The bridge
la too nartew to permit of a person standing
on one side uutil a train should pass, and it
was impossible for him to reaab the other
side before the train would overtake him.
To jump from the Srid20 was certain death.
The only course open was to clutch the outer
board, and, suspended between life and
dath, await the result. This the man did,
and the train, which conld not be stopped,
came thundering on. The conductor, recol
lecting that the steps of the Ptiilinan car
were very low and would probablv strike tb
man's head, rubbed to the rear of the train
and uncoupled the ear, which, by the prompt
application of brakes, was stopped in time.
The man pulled himself up and reached the
other end of the bridge.
At this instant a freight train wasobseived
backing around tha curve, and there stood
the Pullman car in the middle ef the bridge,
filled with the terrified pasengTS, fcr the
frent of the train had gone efl. The engine
of the freight train was attached to tha rear
end, so tbat it was impossible for the engi
neer to see the Pullman car. To leave the
Pullman car was certain deatb. as the pas
sengers had do means of escape, and not
withstanding the shout of the train officials
the freight train came thundering on. It was
a forlorn knpo, but it was the only one, and
quick as a flash Coutluctor Trodden, of the
passenger train, sigiia'ed tho engineer, who
had goue off with the front part of the train,
to back up. He sw the danaer, but true to
his calling, reversed his engine and sped bank
over the bridge on his mission of mercy. lie
reached the ear, the coupling was made, the
lever thrown backward, and not an instawt
too soon the Pullman car and its preeious
load were drawn from the threshold of death.
Silently and witii awed facus the passengers
rode to the city, each one realizing bow close
bad been their call. The caboose attached
to the freight train was also tilled with pas
sengers but when they saw their danger
many of them juiuoed from the oar into the
snow drifts. Winneptg Hun.
tiovr.RNOK IToyt submitted his Message
to the State Legislature on Tuesday after
noon of last week. It consists of nine col
umns of the average newspaper. After
some general introductory remarks he speaks
f the financial Interest of the State which
be finds highly satisfactory. He refers to
the public schools in a complimentary man
ner. State normal schools, he thinks, should
be self sustaining. Of the soldiers' orphan
sehool. which will close by act of Assembly
in 1883, he thiuks that provision should now
be made for the children who will be wards
of the State at that time. A good portion of
the message is devoted to the industrial re
formatory at Huntingdon, the penitentiaries
at Pittsburg and Philadelphia, the reform
school at M organza, and the house of refuge
at Philadelphia, all of which are spoken of
as being in a fine condition and as effective
as could be desired. Speaking of the Na
tional Guard he says : '"Its continuance,
under such conditions as will enable it to
hold its own prtsent ptnte of usefulness and
efficiency, as well as the confidence of the
public, seems desirable in all points of
view." In his concluding remarks he says :
"For one, I have faith in the conseienee and
the growing intelligence of our common
wealth, and its ability to cope with and
overcome the evils whieh have hitherto and
may hereafter beset ns. To despair of the
virtue of the citizen is to despair of self-government,
and to despair of self-government
is to believe that the frame of human socie
ty is without a soul. We are beginning the
third century of our existence as a State.
The reminisconces of the heur are well
adapted to stir within us reflections upon
the possibilities of organized society, the
secret of right government, and the duties
of the free citizen in the free State. But
thoughts without resolutions have a sickly
hue. Sonorons phrases eount for nothing
alongside of quiet deeds. Tatient participa
tion in public affairs will do more to redeem
our politios from the spoiler than thesablisn
est political philosophy, and the intensest
sentiment, if never embodied In action."
Cl'RTOUP Conjuoal Rakoaih. A bill In
equity filed yesterday by William R. Haliey
gives a eurious story of a eonjugal bargain,
in which he came off second best. Mr. Ual
sey was married at Linwood, Delaware
county, in April, 1877. His wife Rosanna
was a buxorj country woman, with, as it
proved, a ken eye to the main chance. In
the spring of 1881 nalsey started upon a tour.
His wife remained behind to take care of
their baby, Einma. Jlalsey had boen travel
ing for about a year when his journey was
unpleasantly interrupted at Little Rock, be
ing put into prison for bigamy. He had gone
through the form of marriage aeain in Texas
with a young woman whose name was Isa
bella Peacock.
After Dalsey had been in jail for come time
he received a letter, he declared, from his
wife saying: "If you will give me tw a
month to live off I will do all in my power to
free you and you may go." Ilalsey. who
had been nia'ie melancholy by his incarcera
tion, jumped at this means of release. A
lawyer whom bis wife had employed came
to his cell and procured an assignment of bis
income, paable to him by the Philadelphia
Trust Company, under the will of a deceased
relative. After he had obtained his release
rrm prison and recovered his composure be
found that be h4 signed more than he was
asked, ne had not only given his wife a
hold on his income, but had also, In case of
her death, bound himself to contribute fifty
dollars a montu to the support of bis child.
Mrs. Hrilspy eot a divorce last November.
In a bill in equity, filed yesterday, Halsey
sets out the faetf. of his conjugal negotiation's
and asked that tho assignment be declared
void, nis wife, lie avers, has declared that
she had no Intention of binding her husband
to his child and is quite willing now to allow
the asslyrnment to be vacated. Philadelphia

Double Suicide. A Detroit telegram of
Monday last says : A double suicide was
committed in this city Saturday night or
Sunday, evidently with the coolest premedi
tation. A man named J. Edward Monick
and wife were tho parties to the shocking
transaction, ne had been connected with
the customs department of Chatham, Ont.,
bmt was discharged n few weeks since, and
came with nis wife to this city, where they
took board at the Franklin House.
Saturday evening their month old child
was given into the temporary charge of a
lady conuected with the hotel to take care of
for a moment. He then locked bis wife into
her room and went away. The lady finally
getting tired of her charge, sought about
midnight to return the child to its mother,
but was uuable to get into her room. En
trance was finally secured by means of a key,
when Mrs. Monick was found dead In bed,
with every evidence that she had died fron
morphine administered by her own hand or
that of her husband. The same evening
Monick went to the Urunswick House, regis
tered under an assumed name, and telling
the elerk be would not want breakfast went
to the room assigned him. Here he was
found yesterday afternoon in an unconscious
condition from the effects of a dose of mor
phine, and died later In the evening, all
efforts to restore hi in t coneieusness proving
unavailing.
Both of them were under thirty, and had
parents and other relatives living at Chat
ham. It Is supposed that despondency over
the discharge from bis position and failure
of all efforts at restoration drove the pair to
the commission of the crime. Next to noth
Ing Is known oftheir previous hlstory'or any
other cause to which the shocking event can
be attributed. Relatives have already taken
the bodies baek to Chatham.
BCS ttn FROM DEATH.
William J. Uoughlin, of Somervl!le,;Mass.,
says : In the fall of 1870 I was taken with
bleeding of the Lcxos followed by a se

was confined to my bed. In 18T7 I was ad
mitted to the Hospital. The doctors said I
had a hole in my lungs as big as a half dol
lar. At one time a report went around that
1 was dead. I gave up hope, but a friend
told me of DR. WILLIAM HALL'S BAL

that in company with other miners and
a brass band, ho visited the works of
the Waveriy Coal Company for the pur
pose of indueing tho miners to strike
for higher wages. Jones was convicted
and sentenced to a day's imprisonment
in the "Westmoreland county jail. Since
then the "Waverly Coal Company has
prefei red another charge of conspiracy,
based on the sanje grounds, against
Jones and the proprietors of the Nation
ul Labor Trilune, claiming JTO.OOO dam
ages. The case ia, set for trial next
month. Jones wrote to lion. Jere S.
Black for his views and received tho
following answer :
"1 cannot promise to be present at your
trial, because I have otber engagements
which are likely to make it Impossible. I
must therefore decline any tender of fees
which would bind me toaeVas yonr counsel.
I do not see any constitutional question In
the cause, as you state it, but it involves
some points of criminal law, which, though
Interesting, are easily settled.
"Any number of employers may combine
together and act In concert to reduce the
wages of their workmen, and nobody has
ever called that a conspiracy ; but if the la
borers In a shop unite to increase their wa
ges and threaten te quit unless they are bet
ter paid, this, according to the old decisions
In England and America, U a criminal of
fense. "More recent cases, however, Iny down
the rule that a bwly of laborers roav as law
fully say what they will take as employers
may determine what they will give. Some
what slowly, and with evident reluctance,
capitalists have suffered the judicial mind to
reach the conclusion that, the employer does
cot exactly own the workman. If. there
fore, the aim of your association was nothing
worse than fo put up the price of your la
bor to a satisfactory standard, and to coun
teract the natural tendency of other interests
to reduce It. you are inuoeent'peopleand the
j Court will say so.
"1 infer rroin your letter tnatyou solicited
othersto join with you In making a demand
tor wages as high as your own. or else stop
work. That was not wrong, either. If you
hnd a right to form the association, you had
an equal right to get as many into it as you
could, so that outsiders m:iy not defeat its
purpose by cutting under, but you did not
confine your membership or your influence
to your immediate fellows working together
withyou in the employment of the same
master. You went to another mine owned
by other parties and persuaded or tried to
persuade the underpaid coal-diggers tkere
that justice to themselves, as to you, re
quired theui to lay down their tools unless
they got the rates generally received in the
neighborhood. At first blush this looks like
intermeddling with a matter which did not
concern yon ; but in truth you bad a fair in
terest in it, because the accept ance ef small
er compensation by one always tends to de
press that of another. Tour resistance to
low wages wai, ne doubt, weakened by the
submission of others near you. This princi
ple w understood by employees. If Scott
and Garrett and Je.vvett would agree to re
duce the wages on the railroad 20 per cent.
Vanderbilt's refusal to do likewise would be
a thing of evil example in their eyes, and
they woald exert all their influense to make
him come down to their level.
"Persons engaged In a common cause,
whether It be to raise or lower wat,es, are
entitled to the sapport of others If they can
get it by fair means. They charge you, bow
ever, getting, or attempting to get the con
currence you wanted, vitt armls, that, is to
say, by force or arms. If your association
went t j the otber mine In a body, or sent a
very large delegation. It was not worse than
any other big meeting, uuies yon behaved
with unlawful violence. Our institutions
and habits rather encourage the peaceable
show of numbers as a means of persuasion.
All organizations, political, religions and
charitable resort to It. But you went there,
or said you would go, with a brass band. 1
do not "think this implied violence or any
threat of violence. A trumpet or a trombone
is not a deadly weapon, and mnsic is not
essentially wicked, or elp, it would not be
used, as It always is in church and earap
meetiags. In addition to these charges of
riot and conspiracy, you are accused, as I
understand, of bribery. The miners whom
you were trying to convert to your own way
of thinking, had agreed that they would for
feit ?10 apiece if they did hot work a full
year at tho rate of wages previously agreed
upon between their employers and them
selves. This pnnalry of accepting yeur doc
trine and acting upon it, they could not pay
without assistance, Your association oiTer
ed to give them the necessary material aid.
This dos not come within any common law
or statutory definition of bribery tbat I know
of.
I may have misconceived this matter. If
1 have it is your fault. I take the facts as I
gather them from yonr statement, which
does not profess to be perfect or fnll. But,
assuming it to be proximatelv correct as a
general outline, you are certainly In no dan
ger of even being tried, for the district at
torney is a gantlemaa much too sensible to
ask a conviction on such grounds."

The learned commentator, upon whom
the Bellefonte Watehman depends for such
matters, explain that a slight xrrnr in tw
Hebrew translation has led to the apparent
great disparity In the ages of the patriarchs
and the moderns. In reading concrete num
bers the Hebrews gave the large number
first, consequently when the translation
reads : "And all tbe dajs tout Adam lived
were 050 years, and he died I" the trne read
ing of the rule would be, "and all the days
of Adam, which he lived, were a hundred
jears, and thirty and nine years, and be
died," making tbe entire age of Adam 1S9
years Instead of 930 years. By the same ex
planation che reported ages of others are re
duced, Seth's from 912 to 121 ; Enos's from
033 to 114 ; Cain's from 910 to 119 ; Enoch's
from 363 to 114 ; Methusaleh's from 969 to
124, and Noah's from 950 to 169 averaging
about 130 in accordanee with Genesis, vi. 3 :
"And the Lord said, My spirit shall not al
ways strive with man, for that be is also
flesh, yet his day shall be a hundred and
twenty years." This was the regular good
old age of men, with special vaiiatlons, both
before and for some time after tbe days of
Abraham.

As insufficient atonement for a sincular
maladministration of jsstiee has been made
by the pardon ct Wii'iam Pendergratt, of
Buffalo. He was Recused of an attempt to
pass a counterfeit d.iilar, and "an expert of
twenty-five years'i standing swore that the
coin was a bad counterfeit." So poor Pen
dergrast went to the Auburn penitentiary
for a year. After he was imprisoned it set-tus
to hav occurred to some one that it would be t
well to ascertain definetly m regard to the
coin, and it was sent to Chief Brooks, cf the
Seorut Service at Washington, who discover
ed that the coin wat genuine, o the Presi
dent has issued a pardon for Pendergraat on
account of a crime cf which he is Innocent.
It is now in order fer Mr. Pendergiast to
reason for a brief space with the "expert ot
twenty-five years' standing," as well as to
sceure damage for false iuapri.-onrnent.
