Crime The weekly regialer of crime ia a fearful one, and it seems to us to be on the increase. There is scarce day a panes over but what it baa ita mur ders, while crime of every other species ia without end. Truly, the land seems to be filled with violence ; and are we not bidding fair to rival the periods of violence recorded in the Old Testament, when the Almighty swept the earth with a deluge and destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah with fire and brimstone, on account of the iniquities of men ? The land ia as full of violence and wickedness a* it ia of churches and religious societies. What does this all mean, aud whith er aro we drifting? It is a subject that is alarming to comtemplate. While the Gospel is preached and •ought to be spread by good men and societies with untiring seal, it would almost seem as though Satan and his work were gaining ground, and that his cunning snd arts were more allu ring to men, to lead them to their own destruction, than are the wholesome and life-giving truths and warnings from the walls of Zion. Money—or rather the love of it— is the great root of all this evil. Most of the horrible murders com mitted, are for money. Intemper ance is another prolific source of thia species of crime, and its victims may be fall up in number* to those who are sentito eternity for money. One rea son why there is no abatement in these high crimes, may be, because courts and juries are too lenient with the guilty ones, and because the appeals for mercy made by wealthy and influ ential relatives of these modern Cains are given too much ear by our exe cutives,clothed with the pardoning power, while too, in some instance*, money may be used to influence ju ries and judges and governors. Then can it b a marvel that so much wick edness abounds where immunity can bo purchased ? But, as differing from the crime* committed from motives as given above, our attention is arrested by a late instance in which a horrible mur der was committed, not for money, not in a fit of intoxication, or to grati fy any ainful spirit of revenge, but simply from a desire to do "something bad." Horrible aa such a nature may seem, yet it is true, and we do not now recollect of |any similar case. We give the case here as we find it in one of our New York ex changes: Joseph Waltz the young man who was arrested on . spicion of murder ing Harmon HL.cner, the Albany scissors-grinder, at Athens on May 1.1 made a full confession of the crime a few days ago to Constable Ernst of Catskill, and directed where the body and money could be found. The body was found buried in the orchard near the house, and the money, amounting to 162, in the barn. In his confession be states that the deed was done about 10 p. m. on J/iay 1, or a little later. He went to the room occupied by Hulcber, whom be found asleep, and struck him three times with the hatchet; the first time with the blunt part, and twice with the sharp side. He only groaned and all was over. Waltz then took the body to theztone wall, where the traces of blood were found, and covered it op. There be left it until the next night, when he took it down into]the orchard and buried it. The officers having learned all they could, took Walts out at his own suggestion to the place where the body was buried in the orchard. A few inches below the sur face it was found, wrapped in a blank et. The head was horribly mangled. Waltz also confesses to having barn ed three school-houses iu the town, and to having buried the books, which have been found at the place he designated. When asked why he committed the murder, he replied, "I done it for mischief and not for gain; the bad spirit was in me, and I wanted to do something bad." That any one should have commit ted so horrible a murder, from no oth er motive but to gratify the thirst ings of a fiendish spirit like the ons here shown is what was scarce to be looked for from Satan himself, saying nothing of a human being. JUSTLY INDIGNANT. The St. Louis Republican is not at all pleased with the actions or our dis reputable Senator, Simon Camreon, trno has disregarded the old command, "Thou sbalt not set up auy brazen image," in having his likeness painted on one of the panels in the room of the Senate's Committee u Foreign Relations,"where it must be a by-word and a reproach so long as it is allowed to remain in the veiw of the illustrious living, and in company with the illus trious dead." It concludes with the fol lowing paragraph: Cameron's picture, which is not a portrait, but an ideal picture of emi nence, is placed in the panel over the bead of the table. Sumner's face is assigned at the foot, Clay's to the right, and Allen's to the left. So Cameron looks from bis post of honor among the eminent men who bad honorably occu pied his place before him and is satis fied that he is the greatest of them all —for, behold the proof in the hand writing on the walls! If there ever was such a brazen image of impudeuce in the world before, we fail to recall its features or its name. We wonder whether Gen. Grant did not take the "blessing" recently given him—by a Philadelphia tem perance club, With a wink of the eye, # And a little old rye ? Gov. Dix has vetoed the loeal option act recently passed by the Itew York Legislature. Geu. Grant now gel a $50,000 per year, and half hia time he ia pleasure ••eking around the country. Thia re mind* us of a Dutchman who was shown a picture of the Washington monument, and asked to subscribe towards its completion. "No" said the Dutchman, "I gifa no one cent. 1 goes no use for to build a house mit such big schimhly." We don't ace ace any use having a President like Grant with such a big salary. Bamberg in South Carolina, has a colored post-master who cannot read. When the Bamberger! conic to the post-office for their uews, the sable appointee under Grant's civil service rules, directs them to the pile to select for themselves what belongs to them Let his salary be doubled by all means. ■ - - • ♦- ♦ - The democratic press all over the state, aud even outside, have articles commendatory of thecourae, lestwiuter of our representative, John H. Orvis, and we notice that the honester por tion of the republican press, speak admiringly of the great services he rendered the people ; for instance, the editor of the Williamsport AVyisfsr, who was in our couuty a few days ago, says the following in hi* paper : John H. Orvis, Esq.. who represent ed this county in the legislature with markcl ability, and great credit to.his constituents is at home, and over whelmed with legal business, which he postponed duriug the sessions of the Legislature, in order that he might serve the true iuteresU of the peoule more successfully in the ca pacity of a law maker. Whilst, politically, the Register may have nothing to say, for cr agaiust Mr. Orvis, it is extremely doubtful wheth er a better, more competent and hon orable representative man can be found anywhere withiu the confines of Centra county, or perhaps this Com monwealth. The following item from the Pitts burg Dispatch, suits Centre county as well as Allegheny or Philadelphia— we think there is plenty of room in our county for well qualified and suc cessful teachers. To such liberal salaries should be paid, but there are some teachers who are dear at any price. Says the above paper : A movement is on foot in Phila delphia for securing an increase of teachers' salaries, but very naturally before endorsing it the people are in quiring into the qualifications possess ed by those who are now engaged pro pagating the young idea. The objec tion urged in this quarter from time to time that teachers are not properly trained is repeated iu Philadelphia. Gradually the public will be awaken ed to an intelligent understand of his matter, and tothe propriety of tak ing measures lor reform. The latest from the Modoc country confirms the surprise of the Kickapoo camp, and the surrender of 60 warriors but Capt Jack and 20 of his warroirs arc still on the warpath. CONSTITUTIONAL CON VENTION. The foil owing Motion* were considered ; Sac. 11. In all election* tor the managing officer* of Reoperation, aach maw be r or iharenolder (ball hare as many votes as be has 1 a; horse, and the same numerals indicate how much is loat or won iu either ease and the losing party has received just aa much mouey in one case as the other parted with, vi* noth ing at all. The lucky winner is of, course the gaiuer, hud he will con tinue so 'until tickle fortune, in due time, makes hitu feel the woes he has inflicted on others. All gambling is j immoral. I apprehend that the lossrs incident to the practice disclosed with in the past five years have contribu ted more to the failures aud erabex i dements by public officers, clerks, agents and others, acting in fiduciary relation, public and private, than any other known, or perhaps all other kuown,or perhaps all other causes ;| and the worst of it is a vast amount of misery and suffering by persons eutirely guiltless of any participation iu the cause of it." The Hon. F. B. Gowen, delegate at large to the Constitutional Conven tion, retiree from it ou account of cu grossing occupations and delicate health, which would interfere with his continued attendance. The withdraw* at of a man of his signal ability would be a great lose to any deliberate body. The vacancy is to be filled bv the Democratic delegates at large. His SUCCESSOR. —Hon Samuel Cal vin, of Holidaysburg. has bceu cho sen a member of the Constitutional Convention to fill the vacancy caused by the Jeath of Mr. McAllister. We have known Mr. Calvin for over fif teen vears, and he is the most decided old fogy in the State. And. so far as filling the place of Mr. McAllister is concerned, his selection is a burlesque upon the Convention and the dead patriot. Au Important Struggle. A great struggle is said to be pre vailing in Shainokin, Pennsylvania, for the posseasiou of over 10,000 acres of land in the anthracite coal regious, valued at 120,000,000. One party lias burned 11 houses which the other side erected, and retaliation is now threatened. O. H. Wheeler, of New York, represents one side, aud the Keadiug Railroad the other. The negro vote of the South was the bolt and bar of the Republican party to keep the white Democratic majority of the nation from controlling its gov ernment. How is the black ally of ths Northern Republican citizen pros pering and how is he fitting himself for his civic duties. Not one nigger out of a thousand la all Alabama has yet paid a cent of tax. The most easy form of homestead was offered them in the Government public lauds. The nigger squats here or there and don't comply with the reqirements of the law, and don't get his land or found his home. But the Southern nigger is a competent judge of Republican states manship. Trust him to vote the Pro tectionist ticket. His mind dilates nat urally and easily to the grasping of that beueficent polity. A CCJDKS TAT SUA M OK IS. Shamokin, Pa., May 22.—During the ceremonies of laying the corner stone of the new Catholic church this afternoon a portion of the tem porary flooring which had been erect-; ed for the accommodation of the vast multitude assembled gave way aud precipitated into the basement be neath a large number of persons. It is impossible at this time to give the names and number of the injured, but it is supposed thatsix are seriously hurt. Bishop Wood, of Philadelphia, and Bishop O'Hara, of Serautoo, who were conducting the ceremonies at the time of the accident, assisted by about twenty clergymcu, were among those who went down with the falling floor, but luckily escaped any serious injury. Some of the iojured are prettr bad ly hurt. Anthony Kelley, of Maha noy Plaue, formerly freight conduc tor on the Reading railroad, is so badly hurt that his life is despaired of. One man had both legs broken. A little boy and girl also had their legs broken. Rev. Father Kock, pastor in charge here immediately threw his house open and is doing all in his power for the sufferers. Shamokin, May 22.—1t is impossi ble to obtain the names of the injur ed. Bix are seriously hurt and ten more have limbs broken. None kill ed. The Modoc*. The Hot Creek Band Captured. Yreka, Cal., May 23.—From J. H.

All they j asked was Fairchild to <>ama out and meet 1 them. No soldiers naod come. The pre*- * ence.'of Fairchild would bo considered at guarantee of good faith. "Where is Ar- b lenn?" asked General Davit. "Tied up," 0 said Dixie ; "long ride and no water." h The absence of Artena gave rise to sutpi- • cions of foul play which were only din- b polled by her tuddon advent. She, too, ] reined her foaming rayute before General si Davis and raid that tha Indians wore hov- c ering about the hills near here yearning to surrender to the typee. Fairchild, Blair, £ and two or three employee of the former, with whom the Indians wero acquainted, mounted swift steeds at the request of Gen eral Davis and started with Dixie.

ALLEGATIONSOP FOUL PLAY. A STRANGE STORY. The Herald hat a letter from 8t John's Irom a correspondent who hasfiaterviewed sum* of the men whe wereupoo the Polari*. The following is the narrative of one of : the Esquimaux : Joe says (partly in answer to my inqui ries and partly speaking on hi* own ac count, without Ibeing interrogated at all): Very fond of Captain Hall. We was crushed in ice. Didn't like Buddir.glen ; always talking behind back ; asking story alt time. Ships stern broken. Blow hard w hen drove from ship. Couldn't get aboard. Some men here in (St. John's) and tome in ship ued to quarrel. 1 went with Captain Hall propose te go to north. After Hell died Buddiwgton wouldnl go.

The circunittancet connected with the death of Captain Hall, thus collected, wear a palpable appearance of my ttery, Setting aside the testimony of the Esquimaux, llar.s and Joe, tutpieion it inseparable from thi* version of the story. No doubt Cap tain Tyton and Mr. Myers are ia pottat •ion of information which they are unwill ing to conituun icale yet, but which will deubtlass, become public at the proper time The facta statad, though tbair veracity ba aituined—which induce the tutpieion that thermit something more and that thera hat been a suppression, if not a perversion of the truth—are that in perfects health geod ipirita and in the lively po tension of all hit faculties, should suddenly be prostrated by a dangerous and ultimata ly fatal illnest, arising solely from the simple cause of drinking part of a cup of coffee or from the beat of bit cabin.

From | Ave to seven great caravans arrive in the Holy City every year. The Syrian care van, which creates the desert from Damas cus to Medina; the Egyptian, which start* (rum Cairo, plodding through sand* for many weeks; the Persian, pursuing its weary way from Bagdad; tba African, from Morocco , end the Indian, from Ye men—oompage the bonds which unite lb# follower* of the Celt# prophet from Indie to Abyssinia.

Caravans from tbe tea province* ef China to Kiachta in Bussia,—a Journey of savanty days,— bring annually about twelve million pounds, avoirdupoit, often, at two cant* per pouad. The ostrich feather* and gums which reach Cairo from Arabia ; the gold dust and ivery that cross the Sahara from Timbuctoo ; tbo flna fabrics displayed in tbe markets of Thibet, which come by caravans from the remotest re cesses ef Africa, art exchanged and sold at a cost of freight that teems ridiculously small. Tbe transition from tand to toil it per haps one of tbe roast pleasant recollections of desert journeying. For days you have been perplexed with the Rivers aad lakes start up on every side; stunted shrubs appear as mighty trees, iaviting you to their shade ; and in a moment the wbola expanse melts awgy, and there rises before the eyes a shiplots see, with irregular coast and bluff bead-lands, green inlands and precipitous promontories.
