Arthur, a Hnptist cleigyman, who came

large share of his intellectual power.
lie adopted the profession of the law,
and attained to a high position therein.
A more extended notice of his public
iife and sti vices, together with a brief
skfteh of his private life, will be found

the attention of our readers.
II. 15. Hayks is now the only living
ex-President, although be was never
elected to the office by the American
people, but was pitchforked into it by
the electoral commission, for the creation
of which nearly all the Democrats in
Congress voted, believing that it would
carry out the popular verdict and declare
Tilden elected. Hamlin, of Maine, who
was elected with Lincoln in ltV0, and
Wheeler, of New YorR, who was de
clared elected with Hayes, in 1877, are
the only surviving Vice Presidents.
Hamlin, although quite old, enjoys vig
orous health, but Wheeler, who is not
yet an old man, and who lives at Malone
i;i the northern part of New York, is
completely broken down, a perfect
wreck. t!i mere shadow of his former
s-lf. owlrijT to the fact that for years he
Las Leeu a slave to the fatal habit of
cpium eating, which is a swifter road to
the grave tfi tn drinking whiskey.
Tiil re-couuts in all of the close Leg
islative districts of New Jersey being
now compu ted, it is regarded as settled
that the P-mocrats will have a majority
on joint I diot provided the two Labor
n.e.nters who are Democrats will act
w ith ti.f Democratic wing. It is under
stood 'hat they will support Governor
Atbott for United States Senator, and
bin elettk'ii would be a Democratic
gam. There is a bate chance, howevert
that thty may vote for a man of their
own it ti e republican members will en
dorse Jiiiu.
In In .liana the Democrats have a ma
jority of two on joint ballot in tLe. Legis
lature, ihe Democrats having a majority
in ihf senate by that number of votes
over the Republican majority in the ,
House. In that State also a united
States Senator is to be elected to succeed
Harris.ir, who is a Republican, and no
man can predict with acy degree of cer
tainty what the outcome will be. The
election of a Senator in each of these
States is a question upon which a vast
amount of speculation as to the result is
permissible.
It is a well known fact that during
Governor Pattison's administratiou it
has bom a difficult matter to induce
the I'ardon Board to recommend a
ciiminal as a flt subject for Executive
clemency. In this respect the Board
has been very generally commended for
its unwillingness to interfere with the
judgment of a court, except for the
strongest and most satisfactory reasons.
A case is sometimes presented to the
Board of peculiar hardness a caee in
which although the offender may have
teii technically guilty of a violation of
the law, acting ignorantly. or through
bad advice has served out a good portion
cf his term of imprisonment at the time
the Board is asked to exercise its power
of mercy. The case of the convicted
miners of Washington county for con
spiracy is one of that kind, and we
fully agree with the Johnstown Tribune,
which in speaking of it, says : "It is a
matter of regret that the Board of Par
dons at its recent session failed to rec
ommend the convicted miners of Wash
ington county to Executive clemency.
These men have been amply punished :
their families need their assistance, and
their immediate release would Jo no
injustice to public interest." The Board
did not refuse to recommend their par
don, but held the case under advisement,
and when It meets again, which will be
shortly, there ought to lie no hesitation
in asking the Governor to release them
from prison.
A pastoral letter of Archbishop Cor
iigau, of New York, wa3 read in all the
Catholic churches of that city, on
Sunday last. The letter has attracted
wide attention, owing to the fact that
the Archbishop takes issue with the
tenure-of-land doctrines recently made
so prominent by Henry George, who
ran a the Labor candidate for Mayor
of that cUy, one of his peculiar theories
being a denial of the right of property
In land. The following extract from
the Archbishop's letter fhows wherein
he differs from the Communistic argu
ments of Mr. George and his followers :
"Undoubtedly God made the earth for
the use of all mankind, but whether the
possession thereof was to be in common,
or by individual ownership, was left for
reason to determine. Such determin
ation, judging from the facts of history,
tLe sanction of law, from the teaching
of the wisest and the actions of the best
and bravest of mankind, has been, and
is that man can, by lawful acts, become
posessed of the right of ownership in
property and not merely in its use.
The reason is because a man is strictly
entitled to that of which he is the pro
ducing cause, to the improvement he
brings about in it, and the enjoyment
of both. But it is clear that in a farm,
for instance, which one lias by patient
toil improved in value, or a block of
maibla out of which one has chiselled
a perfect statue, he cannot fully enjoy
the improvement he has caused unless
he has aiso the right to own the subject
thus improved. He ha9 a strict right
and evil are the laws and sytema which
ignore it eith- r to ownership and en
joyment, or to a full compensation for
the improvement which is his.
As usually happens on a change of the
Governorship of the State, the question
of the composition of General Beaver's
cabinet is just now being extensively
discussed by the Republican press. It
seems to be conceded that Thomas V.
Cooper will be made Secretary of the
Commonwealth, if the State Constitu
tion does not stand in the way and oper
ate as a barrier to his promotion from a
seat in the State Senate to the office re-
feired to. The Constitution declares as
follows : "No Senator or Representative
shall, during the term for which he
shali have been elected, be appointed to
any civil office under this Common
wealth." Cooper being now a member
of the State Senate this plain provision
of the Constitution would seem to be an
impassable obstacle to his appointment
as Secretary. It is said, however, in
some quarters that it can be surmounted
by Cooper resigning his present office.
If this interpretation of the clause is
correct we would like to know what the
framers of the Constitution meant by
the words, "during the term for rchich he
vhnll have been elected." Could his resig
nation suspend or put iu abeyance the
length of the term for which he was
elected? To us it seems very plain that
it could not, and that therefore Cooper
is ineligible, ne is well enough qualfled
for the position if he can legally take it.
and he had better make sure of that
point, if there is any way of doing it,
before he vacates his seat in the Senate.
Col. Hastings, of Bellefonte, feels
quite certain that he will be Col. Guth
rie's successor in the Adjutant General's
office and it looks as though he will be.
The most important question is, who
wi'.l be the Attorney General ? J. Hay
Brown, a Lancaster lawyer of trood re
pute in his profession. Is spoken of as
certain to be selected. It will take a
first class man to fill the place of Lewis
C. Casiday, the present Attorney Gen
eral. Mr. Cassiday's official career has
been exceptionally successful. We
don't remember a single case, and he
has prepared and argued a good many
during the last four years, In which he
failed to satisfy both the lower court
and the Supreme Court that he was
fortified by the law. He will leave his
high office with a solid reputation for
ability In his profession of which any
man may feel justly proud. Mr. Brown
may be competent to fill his place and
if he does the proper credit will be
awarded him. The office of Attorney
General just now is the most important
that the Governor-elect will have at his
disposal.
ITon Charles Francis Adams, died
at his residence in Boston, on Sunday
last,;in the 80th year of his age. He
was a son of President John Quincy
Adams and a grandson of John Adams,
the second President of the Republic.
In li he was a candidate for Vice
President on the Free Soil ticket with
Martin Van Buren.and served five terms
in the Massachusetts Legislature and
two terms in Congress. In 1S61 when
the civil war broke out. Mr. Lincoln ap
IoInted him Minister to England which
he held until 18GS. It was in the dis
charge of the delicate and responsible
duties of this office during the important
events growing out of the war between
the North and the South, that hp eqfaii.
lis hed his reputation as one of the fore- j
most diplomatists of the day. He left
the Republican party during the second
term of Grant's administration and sub
sequently acted with the Democrats.
Of late years his health became broken
down and hi? mind seriously impaired.
On the 5th cf March, 1S77, the day on
which R. B. Hayes was sworn into office
as Piesident, Mr. Adams addressed th
following remarkable letter to Simuel
J. Tilden : i
Boston, March ft, 1877. I
The Hon. S. J. Tihlen. Xeu York,
Mv Drar Sir: On this day, when you j
ODgnt to have been the President of the Uni
ted States, I seize the opportunity to bear
my testimony to the calm and dignified man
ner In which you have passed through this
great trial.
It Is many years since I ceased to be a
party man, hence I have endeavored to
judge of public affairs and men rather by
their merits than oy the came they take.
It is a source of gratification to me to
tbink that I made the rlht choice In the late
election. I could never have ben recon
ciled to the elevation, by the smallest aid of
mine, of a person, however respectable In
private life, who mast forever carry upon
his brow the stamp of fraud first triumphant
in American history. Xo subsequent action,
however meritorious, can wash away the
letters of that record.
Very respectfully yours,
Chari.es Francis Adams.
Jrnr.E Durham, First Comptroller
of the Treasury, according to a Wash
ington dispatch, said last week that,
while he had not decided the question,
he was of opinion ihat Hon. S. S. Cox
was entitled to compensation as a mem
ber of Congress from the time the salary
of 1; is predecessor ceased, notwithstand
ing the fact that he has already received
compensation as United States Minister
at Constantinople during the same peri
od. Judge Durham is regarded as a
mode! officer, and an honest man, but
he had better think over the matter long
and patiently before he makes a decision
that will enable Mr. Cox to put money
in his pocket that he never earned, aud
to which, therefore, he has no legal
claim. The lax payers of the country
will not stand any such whipping the
devil around the stump in order to get a
whack at the public Treasury. The
payment of an unearned salary is against
law, honesty and common sense. If
Mr. Cox is trying to get money out of
the Treasury for which he has rendered
no services, which we can hardly believe,
we nave formed a much mistaken notion
! i
in regard to his character.
Distinguished men from all parts of
the country attended the funeral ceremo
nies of ex-President Arthur at his late
residence in New York city on Monday
last. President Cleveland walked arm- I
in-arm with ex-President Rutherford '
B. Hayes. Mr. Blaine and Senator Ed- j
munds. of Vermont, were hith nrwnt
. . ,
snd when the latter proffered his hand
to the former, he declined to receive it.
The incident attracted very marked at
tention and was the subject of much dis
cussion among those who had observed
it.
Wolff's vote for Governor in Union
county, where he lives, was only 179.
CHFSTKR A. A IITHl'R DEAD.
Sndden Death of Hie ex-President.
New York, Nov. 18. Ex-President
Chester A. Arthur died at five o'clock
this morning, at his residence, No. 123
Lexington avenue. He had been ailing
for some time from a complication of
diseases, principally kidney affection.
He bad spent the summer at a watering
place, and it was supposed that this had
strengthpd somewhat his enfeebled con
stitution. His dath was unexpected, it
not being supposed outside of his house
that he was in any immediate danger.
As soon as news of the death was an
nounced, many flags were placed at half
mast on public and private buildings.
A stroke of cerebral apoplexy, sudden
but not wholly unexpected by his physi
cian , terminated Mr. Arthur's life. The
stroke came in his sleep during Tuesday
night, and he did not rally thereafter.
For hours before the end came he was
unconscious to his surrounding. His
son and daughter, his sister, bis former
law partner, Sherman W. Kcevals, and
his closest frinnd. Surrogate Rollins,
were at his bedside.
The funeral will take place on Mon
day, at nine a. m., from the Church of
Heavenly Rest, on Fifth avenue. Rev.
Dr. Parker Morgan officiating. Mr.
Arthur was not a member of any church,
but his w'.fe formerly attended that one.
The remains will be interred in Alba
ny Rural Cemetery, in the family plot.
Chester A. Arthur was born in Frank
lin county. Vt., October 5, 1830. He
vs the oldest of a family of two sons
and five daughters. His father was the
Rev. Dr, William Arthur, a Baptist
clergyman, who emigrated to this
country from County Antrim, Ireland,
in his eighteenth year, and who was a
man of more than ordinary ability. Ex
President Arthur was educated at Union
College, and was graduated in Ihe class
of '49. After leaving college, be taught
a country school for two years, iu Ver
mont, ard then having by rigid economy
managed to save about $100, he started
for New York and entered the law office
of ex Judge E. I). Culver, ns a student.
After being admitted to the bar, he
formed a partnership with his intimate
friend and room mate, Henry D. Gardi
ner, with the intention of practicing in
the "West, and for three months they
roamed about the western states in the
search for an eligible place. In the
erd, however, they returned to New
York, and hung up their shingles, enter
ing upon a successful career from the
start. Mr. Arthur soon after married
the daughter of Lieutenant Ilemdnn, of
the United States navy, who was lost at
sea, and who went calmly down to death
smoking a cigar. Mrs. Arthurdied
only a few months previous to her hus
band's nomination for Vice President
iu 1SS0.
Pre vious to the commencement of the
war Mr. Arthur was concerned in sev
eral nocable cases growing out of slavery
m the south, the most important bfing
his successful defense of eight slaves,
who had been brought to New York
prior to being brought to Texas. Mr.
Arthur secured their release by a writ
of habeas corpus on the ground that the
provisions of the fugitive slave law were
not in force in that State, and gained
his case both in the lower Court and iu
the Supreme Court of the United States.
Genera! Arthur was a delegate to the
convention at Saratoga that founded the
Tlepublican party. Previous to the out
break of the war he was judge advocate
of the 2nd Brigade of the State Militia,
and Governor Edwin D. Morgan, soon
after his inauguration, selected him to
fill the position of engineer in chief of
his staff. In 1S61 he held the post of
Inspector General, and soon afterward
was advanced to that of Quartermaster
General, which he held until the expira
tion of Morgan's term of office.
At the expiration of Governor Mor
gan's term. General Arthur returned to
hi3 law practice. Business of the most
lucrative character poured in upon him,
and the firm of Arthur & Gardiner pros
pered excedingly. Much of their work
consisted in the collection of war claims
and the drafting of important bills for
npeedy legislation, and a great deal of
General Arthur's time was spent in Al
bany and Washington, where his uniform
success won for him a national reputa
tion. For a short time he held the
position of counsel to the board of tax
commissioneis. at $10,000 per annum.
Giadually he was drawn into the arena
of politics. He nominated, and by his
efforts elected, Hon. Thomas Murphy a
State Senator. When the latter resigned
the collf ctorship of the port of New
York on November 20, 1871, President
Grant nominated General Arthur to the
vacant position, and four years late,
when his term expired, renominated
him. an honor that had never been
shown to any previous collector in the
history of the port. He was removed
by Presidant Hayes on July 12, 1878, in
spite of the fact that two special com
mitteees made searching investigation
into his administration, and both repor
ted themselves unable to find anything
upon which to base a charge against
him. In their pronunciamentos announ
cing the change, both President Hayes
and Secretary Sherman bore official
wituess to the purity of his acts while
in office. It was this act. and a desird
to mollify the defeated third termers,
that secured General Arthur the Repub
lican nomination for Vice President at
the Chicago Convention in 1880, and the
success of the Garfield and Arthur ticket
in New York State was due to a great
extent to his great exertions.
In the factional quarrels that followed
immediately upon General Garfield's
assumption of power. Vice President
Arthur naturally sided with Senator
Conkling, and went to Albany to endeav
or to secure his re-election to the Senate.
It was while he was yet in Albany that
Gniteau fired the fatal bullet that caused
President Garfield's death, and elevated
General A rthur to the Presidency. The
highly inflamed state of public opinion
made President Arthur's position one
of unusual embarrassment, but with
great tact he surmounted all obstacles
and gave the country what at the expi
ration of his term of office was admitted
by members of all parties to have been
one of the best and most conservative
administrations in the history of the
government, After being defeated by
James G. Blaine for renomination at
Chicago, in 1884, and on the expiration
of his term of office. President Arthur
retired to private life residing in New
York city.
' He resumed the practice of law, but
ill health interfered great'y with the
active pursuit of his profession. In
person President Arthur was over six
feet in hlght, broad shouldered, athletic
and handsome. He was a man of great
culture and a wide experience, an able
lawyer, with refined tastes and manners
of the utmost geniality.
A local German Chicago paper, iu
its issue of the 21st inst., asserts that the
Anarchistr have renewed their agitation
and that the calls for meetings of the
"Groups" are circulated openly. The
article says, "on Monday evening in the
hall on Ciybourn avenue, a meeting of
the North side Group of the Internation
al Working People's Association wai
he'd, at which various 'plans' were dis
cusd. Some of the persons present
thought that on a stormy night, with a
few pounds or dynamite, tlw water tow
er con id blown up, and fires started
in Home dozen different places. The
wmt woiks destroyed, the fire depart
ment could have no water ; half the city
would go up in a blaze, and in the confu
sion thus caused the reorganized groups
and companies of the Lehr Und Wehr
Verein could easily capture the city."
Loral Institutes ami Iealiiig Circle!,
The committee on reading circles and
local institutes appointed at the county
institute, reported a series of resolutions
recommending the division of the county
into sections by the Couuty Superinten
dent, and the appointment of a leader
or temporary chairman for each section.
The resolutions were unanimously adop
ted by the institute.
In accordance with the direction of
the commi.tee and the institute, the
division of the county for organization
is herewith presented. The division is
made with special reference to th con
venience of attendance of teachers and
directors. The teachers of some districts
may, however, find it more convenient
to attend the meetings of another section
than the one to which their district be
longs. It should be the aim of every
teacher to attend one sectiou, and con
tribute something to make the meetings
of a practical character. Teachers, show
that we rneau to carry out the resolutions
of the county institute.
Meetings for organization have been
already held in the first and second
sections. The appointments for other
sections are as follows :
The third section will include Adams
and Richland. The first meeting to be
held Nov. 27rh, 10 o'clock a. m.,at
Frogtown. Mr. E II. Burkbart, chair
man. Jackson district will compose tbe
fourth section. The first meeting to be
he'd at Vinco, Nov. 27th, at 10 a. m.
Mr. Henry Ely, chaitman.
South Fork, Croyle, Summerhil! and
Wilmore will comprise the fifth section.
First meeting to be held at Summerhil),
Nov. 27tb, at 10 a. m. Mr. George A.
Noon, chairman.
The sixth section will include Portage,
"Washington, Lilly and Summit districts.
The first meeting to b held at Lilly,
Nov. 27th, at 10 a. m. Mr. J. C. Brown,
chairman.
Gallitzin bor. and twp.. Tunnelhill,
Allegheny, Loretto and Munster will
comprise the districts belonging to the
seventh section. The first meeting to
be held at Loretto, Nov. 27th, at 1.30 p.
m. Mr. A. J. Sanker, cbairroan.
Ebensburg, Cambria and Blacklick
will include the eighth section. The
first meeting to be held at Ebensburg,
Dec. 4th, at 10 a. m. Mr. J. W.
Leech, chairman.
Barr, Susquehanna, Elder, Chest.
Carrol! and Carrolltown will be included
in the ninth section. The first meeting
to be held at Carrolltown, Dec. 4th, at
0 a. m. Mr, Jos. Bearer, chairman.
Chest Springs. Ashland, Dean and
Clearfield will comprise the tenth sec
tion. The first meeting to be held at
St. Augustine, Nov. 27th, at 0 a. m.
Mr. W. J. Cramer, chairman.
White and Reade districts will consti
tute the eleventh section. The first
meeting to be held at Fallen Timber
school house, Nov. 25th, at 1.30 p. m.
Mr. Geo. W. Williams, chairman.
The nature of the exercises for the
different sections will be determined bv
the teachers belonging to each section.
in several sections the teachers will or
ganize reading circles, and take up a
course of profession reading. In other
districts the t-xercisfs will be largely of
the character of local institutes, and
directors and patrons will attend and
take part.
Ic is thought best to leave the pro
gram, the number of meetings to be held
and other matters, entirely to the teach
ers of the different sections. Each
section may have subjects and questions
for discussion jx-culi-ir to itslf. We
think it advisable, however, that a
course of professional reading and study
be made a part of the woTk of each sec
tion in the county.
Respectfully submitted.
County Superintendent.
Campaign Abnse Then and Now.
A political campaign now looks to me
less like a duel about some point of hon
or than a prize fight between the two
great parties, with little more at issue
than to see which can beat the other.
They abuse each other, ad libitum, as
hard as they know how. But they don't
mean it, and everybodv knows it. Their
abuse is all sham. After the fight, like
two sluggers, they shake hands almost
affectionately and act aa if they never
had believeJ the opposing candidates to
be anything but good and honorable
men.
In this respect the campaigns of old
were different. I have an illustration
of it before me now, recorded in Dr.
Benson J. Lossing's new book on "Mary
and Martha, the Mother and the Wife
of George Washington." Not only was
Washington scandalously abused before
his election and during bis incumbency
of the office, but after the Father of his
Country had retired from office. "Three
days after," says Dr. Lossing, " writer
in the Aurora newspaper asserted that
when a retrospect is taken of the Wash
ington administration for eight years, it
is a subject of the greatest astonishment
that a single Individual should have
cankered the principles of republicanism
in an enlightened people just emerged
from the gulf of despotism, and carry
his designs against the public liberty so
far as to put in jeopardy its very exist
ence. Such, however, are the facts, and
with these staring us in the face, this
day ought to be a jubilee in the United
otates.' "
A few days before this appeared
Thomas Paine, in whose behalf Wash
ington had refused to exercise his influ
ence and power to have him released
from prison in Paris, published a scur
rilous open letter addressed to the Pres
ident, in which occurred such words as
these: "As to you, sir, treacherous in
private friendship and a hypocrite in
public life, the world will be puzzled to
now decide whether you aie an apostate
or an impostor, whether you have aban
doned good principles, or whether you
ever had any." Evidently in those
"good old times" abuse did not stop
w.th the election, nor even after a public
character's retirement to private life.

Many prohibition Bbles are In circula

ses a bottle of very god whisky. By

A Georgia newspaper illustrates the
average Southern negro's poor ousiness 1
ability by telling of one who asked the price
of a coat in a store. The stole keeper offered
him various garments cheap for cash,
but the darkey would not bay, and finally
picked ont a coat worth tl.65 and offered it
to him for f 10, agreeing to Uke f2 in cash
and trust htm for tbe balanc. The custo
mer jumped at the fler, and without even
trying on tbe coat, paid the $2 and went
away happy in his abi'ity to owe IS. The
store keeper will not worry It he does not
get the money.
ion Petuska, a Pole, has been the ob
ject of a great deal of curiosity at Louisville,
ne first made his appearance on Saturday
last, when he vlsil Seventeenth street
market, and devoured !n thepiesence of the

then he has visited the market every morn
ing and feasted on the bulcker's (.craps
picked up off the ground. lie 'eeds like a
ravenous wolf, and bis unkempt hair and
beard, give him the appearance of a wild
man. He can speak English imperfectly,
but refuses to talk about himself further
than to give his name and nationality.
Congressman Campbell, of the Seventh
Ohio district, Is returned as elected by two
votes over his Republican competitor. Little,
who appears to have been defeat, d by tbe
foolishness of several of his own t uppi rters.
In Beaver Creek township an nthii -iastic
Republican pinned Uttle's piclnre io his
ticket, and when it came to be counted the
judges threw it out ; in the Fourth ward of
Columbus, two Republican tickets were
stuck together and were thrown out. and In
the Sixth ward the same thing occurred. If
these voters had been more careful Little
would have been elected by one majority.
