Allen G. Thurman, democrat, ha*
been re-elected United State* senator
from Ohio.
-•♦ '
Our member, Mr. Orvis, has been
placed upon nearly all the most im
portant standing committees of the
lower house, vix: Constitutional re
form ; Revision; Judiciary genera! ;
wars and means; education ; counties
and townships.
In the state senate, ou 14, Mr.
Warfvl presented the petition of
twenty-five electors of the Seven*
teenth senatorial district contesting
the election of Audrew U. Dill. The
petition declares that B. F. Waggon
seller received 3.440 legal votes and
A. H. Dill 3,080 votes and was there*
fore duly elected. It is proposed to
throw out several electiou polls in
Northumherlaud county on the
grouud of the reception of alleged
fraudulent TOtee and various intor
malities.
The Democratic member* of ih* lion**
paid * d*arvd compliment to • worthy
man in the nomination of the Hon. John
H. Orvis, of Centre connty, tor Speaker of
that hodv During the Uit session Mr.
Orvis, by rea*on orhis very great ability,
was put forth a* the leader of the Demo
cracy. a position which he discharged
with fidelity, sad to him we ere indebted
for many of iha eipoeuras of King manip
ulation* which have alarmed the people
•no. which it is hoocd will now come to an
end. Wa regret tnat his election did not
follow, as he is peculiarly fitted to dis
charge the duties which devolve upon
that officer —SAs.-ow Times.
As the next house of representa
tives, will, iu all probability, be dem
ocratic, it will be an easy matter to
eonfer the speakership upon our rep
reseoUtive fAct, who deserves the
honor. It is within the power of the
democracy of this couuty to place
this within the reach of Mr. Orvis by
re-electing him. Let old Centre have
the speakership next winter —Mr.
Orvi* would make a capital presiding
officer.
If but half of what ~orre*poodent*
of Administration newspaper* write
about life in Washington be true, the
country is having a veritable petti
coat government at the Federal Capi
tol. One of these chaps perhaps in
spired by a sorely disquieted Senator,
wrote to hia paper the other dav that
many members of the Senate found
themselves in a quandary ou the
question of confirming or rejecting
Williams for Cnief Justice. Grant
threatened revenge upon all who re
futed to vote for his candidate. Tbe
Senators' wives on the other hand
State that they would not have re
cognised Mr*. Williams as entitled to
the first call from them, and threaten
ed war upon their husbands if that
lady should be elevated to the pround
S ailion of "Mrs. Chief Justice."
ence Senators would have to choose
between political war with Grant or
domestic war with their wives—not
a very enviable position to say the
least—had not Williams relieved
them by sensibly declining the posi
tion tendered him.
lathe House,oo 17th inst., Mr.
Orvii presented a memorial tram sev
enty-five citizens of Centre couuty
asking for the repeal of the local op
tion law. Also, one from sixty-four
citizens of Centre county of similar
import. Also, one from citizens of
Centre county praying for au exten
sion of the law prohibiting the hunt
ing of deer with dogs in said coun
tj-
Grant threateus to nominate Jere
miah S. Black for Chief Justice,
should the Senate refuse to confirm
Cushing. He says : "I nominated a
Ittytr for Chief Justice, and you
refused him, because you said that
he didn't know enough. Then I sent j
in the name of a man who is recogm-. I
zed by the bar as a thorough law
yer, and you object to hinj because!
you say he is an atheist. If you reject j
him, I will send the name of Jere
miah 8. Black." \ow the question,
arise*, will Judge Black prove ac
ceptable to tbe President's right bow
tr, the Pittiburg Diij/atcb, or hij

that one or both of the journals have j
suggested Judge Black for noraiua- •

A Better Prospect For the .South
The following despatch sent by
President Grant to Governor Davis
ef Texas, meets with approval in all
quarters, save from a few carpetbag
gers and mischief-tuskers who have
relied upon Federal bayonets to pro
tect them in their outrages and rob
beries in the South :
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Jan. 151.1874.
To Governor Davit, Austin, Tex.:
Your despatches and letters recit
ing the action af the Supreme Court
of Texas in declaring the late elec
tion unconstitutional and asking the
use of troops to prevent apprehended
violence are received.
The call is not made in accor
daance with the Constitution of the
United Slates and the acts of Con-
Kess under it, and cannot therefore
granted.
The act of the Legislature of Texas
providing for the recent election hav
ing received jour approval, and both
political parties having made nomina*
tions and having conducted a political
campaign under its provisions, would
it not be prudent as well as right to
yield to the verdict of the people ss
expressed by their ballots J
(Signed) U. 8. Grant.
Upon Pinchback and the other
Representatives of the Kellogg gov
ernment, who have just returned
here, this despatch fell like a thunder
clap for it says plainly there is to be
no further Federal interference with
State elections in the South. That
at least is the interpretation placed
upon it by Southern Congressmen.
If the carpet-baggers in the South
are compelled to yield to the verdict
of the people as expressed by their
ballots they know full well that their
occupation is gone, and that tbe time
has arrived when the Southern people
are to come into their own. If un
der this new order of things Con
gress should decide to order a new
•lection in Louisiana there will not
be a vestige Left of tbe so called
Kellogg government iu that State

Kumora are rife coucerniug a general
strike among the miner* throughout
the anthracite coal region and no
little excitement ia already manifest
ed. A meet ing of the miner* and
laborer* association of tbia county
was held at Plymouth a day or two
since nud was attended by over seven
hundred miners. They concluded to
unite with the national organisation
at the last meeting which wa* held
at Cleveland last tall aud to place
themselves under its care and dis
cretion. It was the unanimous opin
ion of the meeting that wagea far
which they had been working were
too low; tlut the operator* could at*
ford to pay more, and that an advance
should be demanded for the baaia
of 1374.
A prominent officer of the miners
and laborers association stated to-day
that the miuera were fully prepared
for a strike for the winter seasou aud
under no circumstances will they
submit to a reduction of wages. The
operators of this section have not ask
ed for a reduction of wage* but will
not consent to make any advance

Sambo's Tax Receipt
[From the Dawson v.Ga.) Journal.]
A negro liviug iu a ueighbotiug
county, having beeu fortunate euough
to accumulate considerable of this
world's goods, desired a* all loyal
subjects should, to pay lax ou the
same. It being u new busiuess to liitu,
he did not know there wa* a proper
officer for receiving Ux, aud couclu
ded all that was necessary was to fiud
a man with a white akiu.
Consequently he hailed the first
IUAU he met with, "Bay. boas. I waul
to pay my tax: mus, I gib it to you?'
Ou being told that it would be recei
ved by the comprehending white geu*
tleman, the uegro gave him tweuly
five dollars and a*kod if that was
enough. "I *tippose it is," said the
white man. "Boss, gim me showin
for dat," said the negro. Again the
wit* of the white man were at work,
aud he soon handed the negro a slip
of paper with the inscription: "As
Moses lifted the serpent out of the
wilderness, likewise have I lifted
twenty-five dollars our of thiad —n
negro's pocket,"
Not long after this the uegro met
the lax collector proper. "Done
paid it, boss, and here's de ceipt,"
at the same time handing the piece
of paper to the officer. He read; "As
Moses lifted the serpent out of the
wilderness, likewise have J lifted $25
out of this d—n negroe's pocket."
"Hold on hoe* you read um wroug,"
ejaculated the astonished darkey, as
he suatched the paper and carried it
to another mao, who began to read,
"As Muses lifted—" Here he was in
terrupted by the negro, who exclaimed
"Look-a*yar. jest gim me dat paper
I'm gwlne to lift dat white man out's
his boots, fore Uld 1 is.' With this
he left and not having beeu heard

THE CHIEF JUSTICESHIP.
MR CUSHINGPS NAME WITH
DRAWN.
His Relations With Jeff Davis.
RAKINO OVER THE ASHES Of TE PAST
Washington, January 14.—Mr.
Cushing has written a letter to the
President asking the withdraws! of
his name, and the President has ac
cordingly done so in a communication
to the senate.
r j Tuk Republican Caucus.
' The following are additional partic
rl ulars in regard to the republican cau
! cuses of yesterday, It has beeu as
r | certained that the last forty or fifty,
! ; minutes of the morning caucus were
•.almost wholly occupied by Senator
. I Sargent in a detailed review of Mr.
Gushing'* public life from the time of
j President Tyler down to the present j
day, which he severely criticized, ar-;
guing that a confirmation ought not I
jto bo thought of for a moment. Calls
' ; were then wade for a vote, but Mr. i
j Boutweli expressed a desire to reply,
| and the caucus accordingly adjourned
j to give him and other friends of Mr. j
, j Cashing such an opportunity.
Between twelve and oqs o'clock,
' Mr. Sargent received an intimation ;
, I from an undivu lged source that a let-
I ter damaging to Mr. Cushing bad
1 been discovered in the rebel iffchifM,
and leaving the senate chamber be
1 went at once to the war department
| to obtain it, if possible. He was there
I iuformed by Adjutant Giuenl Town
send that an order of the secretary of
J war would be necessary to authorize
Ihitn furnishing the desired copy, and
Mr. Sargent proceeded to the execu
-1 tire mansion, where Secretary Bel-,
( knap was attending a meeting of the I
I cabinet, who, with the President, were
at the time considering the very doc
| ument in question. General Belknap <
made Sargent's request known to the
President, who at once said it should i
be cptpplied with, as the newly-dis
covered letter was one jrbich it emi
nently befitted the senate to hear and
take into consideration. A certified
copy having been handed to Sargent,
he returned to the capitol for the af
ternoon caucus.
Mr. Boutweli took the floor, ac
cording to agreement, as soon as it
was called to order, and made a speech j
of some length in favor of Mr. Cuah- ,
wig's nomination, and was followed by ,
other friends of Mr. Gushing, as here- t
tofore stated.
Mr. Sargent meanwhile, reserved [
the important letter with a view to *l t
lowing everything to be said in sup- c
port of Mr. Cushing's confirmation j
that could be said by any one present, a
befoie putting au end tp discussion, c
as be anticipated, by producing the ,
document which had just come into a
his joosaession. Finally he obtained r
the floor and read and commented on <j
the letter, being listened to with the ,
closest attention. The result upon i
the caucus has been already describ
ed.
The following is the letter Mr.
Cashing wrote to Jeff Paris, the un
earthing of which caused such a sen
sation in the caucus of republican
senators :
"WASHINGTON, P. C., March 21,
1861. — My Dear Friend: This will
introduce Archibald Roane, a clerk
in the attorney general's office for six
or seven years. He has left lbs ser
vice here for his sentiments, because
lie is a southern man bv birth and
education, and is devoted tp what
regards as his country—the coufeder- j
acy. He has been a contributor to
Deßow's Review, and is acquainted
with all the questions which have un
dermined and now broken up tbe Un
ion. I commend him to your very
favorable uotice, as worthy of confi
dence.
"CALEB CUSHING.
"To Jeffarsou Davie, President Cou

Among the papor* presented to the
Briliah Parliament relating to the
South Sea Islander* is a report by
Captain C. H Bimpeon, of her
Majesty's ship Blanche, giving an
an account of hie visit last year to
the Solomou and other group* of
Islands in the Pacific Ocean. While
at Isabel Island, from which seven
women and tnree men were kidnap-
I ped in 1871, Captain Siupaon, with
I a party of officers, went a short dis
- t a nee inland to visit one of the re
; tnarkable tree villages peculiar, he
' believes, to this island. He found
> the village built on the summit of a
> rocky mountain rising almost per
; nendicular to a height of 800 feel.
The party ascended by a native path
, from the interior and fouud the ex
trente summit a ssaa* of enormous
rocks standing up like a castle among
which grow the gigantic treee, in the
- branches of which the houace of the
natives are built The items of tbeee
trees rise perfectly straight and smooth
without a branch, to height varying
( from 50 to 160 feet Iu the one
[ Captain Simpson ascended.'the, houss
i was just eighty feet from the ground;
■ one close to it was about 120 feet
- The only means of approach to these
' houses is by a ladder made of a creep
f er suspended from a post within the
i house, aud which of course can be
> hauled up at will. The houses are
most ingeniously built, and are very
I firm and strong. Each house will
i contain from ten to twelv* natives,
' and an ample store of stonee is kept,
' which thev throw both with slings
and with the band, with great force
and precision. At the feet of each
i of these trees is another hut, in which
i the famiiy usually reeide. The tree
bouse being only resorted to st night
and during times of expected danger.
In fact, however, thev are never safe
from surprise, notwithstanding mil
their precautions, as the great object
in life among the people it to gel etch
other's heads. Captain Simpson, in
returning, visited a chiefs bouse on
the beach and found a row of twenty
live huniau heads captured iu a recent
raid fastened up across the frost like ,
vermin st s bsrn door. It was sc
kuowlodged that the object of the raid
trai to get heads and eat the bodies
which is always done. The heads of <
men, women and children are a\\>
taken and the wonder is that th#
whole island does not become dmpoau I,
Imted. The people of this and other ■
islands are not, however a courage
I ous people. Such a as a stand
lup fight betfecu tribe# i? almost un-j
known, but they prowl about for
prey, attacking whenever they have a!
victim iu their power without risk to
themselves. In some of the islands,
Captain Simpson observed the men
having long nair which they wear in
fashions like those adopted by the
other sex in the favorite
modes being the ordinary chignon, or
loose down the back, the women,
whose hair is shorter than the men's,
wear it loose awj undressed. In
clothing there is not at present oppor
tunity fur European or any other
fashions.

For our knowledge of tkfl (übstanca of the
sun w depend, a* I need not tall you, up
on the spectroscope. (A diagram af tha
solar spectrum with tba black lines and
marginal exhibition of tba colored linaa ol
hydrogen and sodium was displayed.)
The prism breaks up the solar ray into tbe
rainbow, tinted streeke with dftrk lines
crossing it It up the ray from an
iacaodaacaul body into a rainbow etrank,
without any dark linai, and a gaseous
body gives two or three dark lines. Sodi
urn gives yellow lines, hydrogen blue.
When we see the lines in the spectrum,
w* can tell what it is that burn*. Differ
ent burning bodies have, it aeems, a cut
off power. Tbe dark line* indicate to us
the preience of vapors round tb* sun cool
er than the sun. and tba position of the
lines in thg spaptttm determine# exactly
what tbe element if. Jron, popper, and
hydrogen, for instance, exist in yepor at

some substances only partially represen
ted in the spectrum do exist in tha aun.
