Don't say anything more about "set upa, Brown, or we'll "explain." W • didn't want the Buckwheat concern in the Buh house cellar to kuow the secret. Pennsylvania has loet one of b i n ablest sons. Ex-Chief Justice Thompson died suddenly while argu ing a case before the Supreme Court, ft's was one of the purest and must distinguished persons that ever wore the judicial ermine in this common wealth. He was a Pennsylranian by birth, was born in Berks county, and was widely known for his integrity and ability—in legal learning his superior was not in the state, and he was respected by the men of all par ties. The treasurer of Jersey City has ab sconded with soo,ooo of the people's money. We notice an item that Jeff. Davis and ex-Senator Foote, are to have a duel. These old fellows had beat wait a little, if they are tired of life, aud they will be duly assisted in shuffling off this mortal coil, as their sands of life are about tpeut, and they will go without making themselves ridiculous by fighting a duel. Brown and his niggers evidently had a sip oat of the same glass again, last week, judging from his only edi torial, which shows he is badly befud dled. Old apple dumplings seems afraid the editor of this paper is a Candida teVor Assembly. Never fear, old sucker, we are not, though we do think there would be wisdom aud policy in re-electing our present rep resentative, even if he did not con sent to it, and without any further "Explanation," so long as his record keeps np with what it has been. Brown is only a horn whom somebody else is using to blow through. Col. John H. Stover, a native of Aaronsburg and well-known in this county, is uot politically dead yet in Miseonri, he got 18 votes for United States senator the other day, requir ing about 75 for an election. The breach between the President and tbe Radical leaders is widening day by day. He refused to listen to the advice of the Radical wiug of his party, and propoees to cut loose from tt. The Evans case has now seen its end, over the man—or ring tool —who embezzled several hundred thousand dollars ef tbe commonwealth's funds. On last Saturday Judge Pearson charged tbe jury, wbicb, after having retired three hours, returned a ver dict of guilty, finding in favor ofCom monwealth in tbe sum of $185,663,57. Tbe above sum ia in excess of ths amount awarded by the common pleas last March about $36,000 and less than tbe lowest figure claimed by tbe commonwealth nearly $120,000. Tbe defendant was not in court when tbe verdict was announced. On the law point raised by tbe de fense—that the case was improperly brought—Judge Pearson has reserved his decision. On Tuesday next Mr. Hall will discuss his proposition before bis hon or. If be should not be sustained the case will probably be carried to tbe supreme court If on tbe contrary it is sustained tbe verdict will fall. Dr. Sbope, of Hummelstowu, who was on the bail bond of Evans with Dr. Paine, of Philadelphia, made ap plication to the court to be relieved of the amount ($20,000) for which he had made himself responsible. On Saturday evening about seven o'clock George O. Evans was re moved to prison accompanied by bis two devoted daughters, who were greatly affected at seeing their Cither going to jail. They have since gone to Philadelphia. There are guiltier parties bsbind this, than Mr. Evans—the ring shared the plunder, and Mr. Evans, of course is unable to restore it. The national debt on the Ist of this month was $2,262,755,113.21 princi pal ; interest $30,415,576 32. Total $2,293,179,689.43. In the Home on last Saturday, 31, a letter from Attorney General Dimmick, in answer to a resolution of inquiry was read, that the local option law can be repealed at any time, and is not required to be in force three years before a repeal can be had. Of course, any man of common sense might know that, and we are surprised the house was so stupid as to ask him the question. Each of the Bellefonte radical sheets swears it is the organ, and that the other ain't. Which lies, and which is? They both need praying for. Congress is wondering how to help the country out of its financial mud dle, bat has not yet shown that it knows how —it evidently has not read the Tuten Republican, which settled the matter weeks ago, clear as mud, and the successor of secretary Rich ardson will no doubt be called from out of the concern in the'cellar of the Bush House. Almost every radical senator and congressman has "his plan," and no two are alike, and the Tuten's differ from them all, and they certainly know best, for tbey came from the | laud of Blueiights aud wooden nut-] megs, where every men swear* he's smarter then hi* neighbor. The radical party hM run the country twelve ycail upon roomy made out of old shirt* and other rags and swore by these until things busted, and now they cry out, A\ hat ■hall wo do? Congress don't know, the Tuten* pr hap* know, but Con grew didn't hear from them, and the country it left in ite bad predicament. The mistaken financial policy of our present ruler* hai teveral timet prov en ruinou* to the couutry, and drag ged down thousands of business tirius, and has been the mean* of throwing hundred* of thousand* of our oouutry men out of their livelihood—it ha* ruu the country into a danger ous wamp from which they have thu* far lacked the stateemanship to rescue it Of course the Tuleua kuow all about it. they come from where they know these things. Under democratic rule, which filled our purse# and drawers with jingling gold and silver, these dilemmas were unkuown. But since ragmoney has been imposed upon the people, you cau't tell to-day what to-morrow will be, and Congress goes begging for a plan that will prove a heeling rerne dy' Of course the Tuten Republican has the financial balm of Giliad all in a nut-shell, and can put it out in three sticks-full of editorial. There haa been more necessity for soup houses to feed the starving, aince the radicals held power, thau there was for half century before ; our large citie* are overrun with men out of work and with families who are suf fering from want, all because of the crash and explosion caused by lbs mistaken fiuancial policy of the bloat ed pot-house politicians at Washing ton. Of course the Tuteus know it's alt right, and see right through it for they wear ml hair, eat gunpowder sauce, and have scratched their letters on Plymouth rock. They are great fellows —great at elucidation and de vouring buckwheat cakes, and financial affairs are not settled, it won't be their fault. They are some pumpkins after all, only they're so easily "squashed" iu argument. The approaching election for May or of Philadelphia, is the absorbing topic in that city just now, and is at tracting much attention throughout the state. Philadelphia having been under the curse of ring rule for ma ny years, the respectable portion of its citisen have a strong desire to rid themselves of it, and a reform party is making an effort to drive the thieves from power. In this movement are the better class of republicans, includ ing Forney and his Press, and also the Ledger, aided by nearly the entire democracy. The ring republicans have nominated Stokely for re-elec tion ; the democrats nominated Col. Biddle, and the reform-republicans nominated Mr. Littleton, for Mayor. This triangular fight, of course, would result in a triumph of Stokely and the ring. Seeing this, Col. Biddle declined the democratic nomination and Mr. Littleton did the same as tha reform nominee, and now Seuator M'- Clare has been fixed upon as the re form candidate, and has received the endorsement of the democrats. Should the reform republicans and democrats aork together in harmony, the ring will surely go over board. A ftiw days will tell. The election is near at bsnd, aud the matter is becoming interesting. Legislative. Harrisburg, Jan. 28. —Mr. New myer offered tbe following roeoiution, which was twice read and agreed to: Resolved, That Dr. E. E.

This difficulty, aoi also the presance ou the coast, of Vljieinpon, uncle ol King Koflee Kalkalli, and a very influential aud quarrelsome potentate, was particularly called to the atten tion of our representative at the Dutch Court; but nevertheless the treaty was concluded without either of these difficulties being removed. That first act of aggression appears to have been ou the part of an English official, in taking forcible possession of Atiiempon after palaver to which he bad been invited, bringing him as a priaouer to Cape Coast Castle, aud then sending bim home to Coomassie. He seems to have felt aggrieved at being thus roughly treated, especially as his fetish stool, to which he attached great importance was left behind; he accord ingly started immediately with a few follower* to recover this valuable piece of furniture, and an armed re siatanoe by the Kautees to bis progress seem* to bar* been the signal for the seems to have been the signal for the invasion by the Ashanteea, to repulse which the honor of England is now said to be pledged." A BILL TO EXTEND THE LE GAL TENDER CIRCULATION TO s4tX>,ooo,ooo. Washington, January 21.—A por tion of the financial question begins to assume definite shape. The \\ ays and Means Committee at their meet ing to-day uuanimuusiy agreed to re port a bill to the house te extern! the legal tender circulation to $400,000,- 000, thus confirming the use by the Secretary of the Treasury of the so called reserve of $44,000,000, $27,- 000,000 of which have already been issued. The Committee also decided what is even more important, that tbis increase in the volume of currency should be made permanent and not be continued as a channel by which the great power is giveu to the Sec retary of the Treasury to derange the money market by inflating or con tracting as he may see proper. Of course it is all inflation now; but if the internal revenue receipts in the spring should exceed the expenses of the the Department, in the absence of this proposed law, would naturally begin to coutract again, as it did a year sgo last fall. The Com mittee intend that such a policy shall be ended, aud will therefore prohibit it iu the new bill in language that cannot be miscouatrued. The bill will be reported in a day or two to tbe House, and will poeaibly be tbe basis for adding to it some scheme of infla tion as indicated by recent votes. It may be properly added right here that the just complaint made in the Senate debate on finances is tbe utter absence of any definite plan looking to resump lion. The want of this in Doth bouses has prompted Mr. Wood of New York, a member of the Ways and Meaos Committee, to care-fully pre pare a measure, which has been most favorably received by those who have considered it. He has not yet put it into a formal bill but propoees in brief to autborize a email interest bond to be exchangeable for the reserves of tbe national banks when the latter have a surplus of mousy on baud, that there is uo demand for in loans, and, vice versa, that will restore tbe reserves when ths money market is tight. He theo proposes to prohibit tbe purchase of bonds or the sale of fold, and to retain all tbe coin in the 'reasury not required to pay the in terest on the public debt, this excess of coin to be held as a reserve to re deem tbe 10 er 20 per ceut of legal tenders that may be presented. Prior to this Mr. Wood propoees, as agreed on by tbe Committee to-day, to limit the leg&l-teuder circulation to $400,* 000,000. Transportation Schemes. The Cheap Transportation Conven tion in session last week adopted reso lutions asking of Congress, as a means of affording relief to the country, the enlargement of the Erie Canai and lake route, the enlargement and ex tension of the Illinois and Michigan Canal to the Mississippi River at Rock Island, together with the completion of the work on Illinois River, the im provement of the Mississippi River, the Tennessee Rivar route, known a* the Atlantic and Great Western Ca nal, and the central water line through Virginia, and the extension of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal from Cumberland, Md., to some point on the Ohio River. A bill is now iu course of preparation providing for the completion of works and for the clearing eut of the great rivers in connection therewith for presentation to Congress at an early day. It is claimed that the measure to be pre sented will not increase taxation, and will be so devised as to meet with gen eral approval. ♦ ♦ ♦ "■ THE COAL MINEBti.

It seems that he was first nominated by S. L. M. Harlow, of this city, some six months ago, and that in appoint ing him President Grant has followed Mr. Harlow's advice. There is noth ing wrong iu this ; and iudecd it might be well fur General Grant and for the country if be would oftener draw counsel from the same source; but the | fact tends to strengthen the belief that in .I£G4 Mr. Waite voted for . McCiellau. We dare say such was , the case. We suppose that it is iu , disputable that not long before that election he was in full sympathy with . a most estimable class of men then , known a* copperheads, who, while . they believed iu maintaining the , integrity of the country, strongly dis approved of many measures which Mr. Lincoin, Mr. Seward, and Mr. Stanton were then putting in force. Theae measures wera freely denuuuc ed at the timo bv such men as Mr. Harlow, Judge Thurman, the present Senator from Ohio; Judge Hlack, of Pennsylvania; and Governor Seymour of New York; and unlets we are greatly mistaken Mr. Waite at that time shared their views, and was per haps even more extreme in bis feelings than some of them. This makes it all the tnoro remarkable that he should have been appoiuted Chief-Justice on the suggestion of Mr. Harlow, and that Mr. Thurman should have been the principal advocate of his con firmation iu tha Senate.— Sun. A statement in general terms of the mal-adminisiration of the Radi cal party—of the outrages it has prac tised under the assumed named of loyal regard fur the government, and: of the cerrupttons it practised and concealed—is to be found in the fol lowing which President Grant is wide- Iv circulated as having said last Friday, to tome prominent Radi cals: " "I begin to think," he Mid. "it is time for the republican party to un load. There has been too much dead weight carried by it. The success of our arms during the rebellion and the confidence that the republican party was strong enough to hold up any burden have imposed all the dis affection in the Gulf States on the administration. I am tired of this nonseuce. Let take care of herself as Texas will have to do. I don't want any quarrel about Missis sippi State matters to be referred to me. This nursing of monstrosities has nearly exhausted the life of the party, j I atn done with them, and they will have to take care of them themselves." He eava he is done with nursing thoae monstrosities, which is equiva lent to saying that he has been nurs ing monstrosities and doing things mertly for parly sake that his judg ment nnd his conscience condemn, and he'll no more of it. It is to lie devoutly wished he'll stick to that resolution. A war on the liquor dealer* ha* been waged and won in Washington, Ohio, by the women. Eighty of them organized for the conflict. While some remained in the village church aud tolled the bell, othrra went to the saloons in sounds of a dozen or ao and argued with the proprietor*. All but oue capitulated at once. The exception was J'at Slater, who said that hia business was his own business and nobody's else, and he would stick to it in spite of all the women in Washington. He swore at the young est and prettiest of his opponents, and was utterly impervious to soft words aud coaxing. Whils they held prayer meetings in hi* barroom he sold drinks to the few men whose cravings were strong enough to make them bold.

After alighting from the coach, I they patted into the ladies' wailing room . in tha depot building, while two ot the , gentlemen returned and made inquiries re-1 , garding the procurement of a carriage to' oourey them to West Piltston. In due | linio a carriage arrived and the quar > lolle entered it, and tha driver, who hod , roceirod his instructions where to go, pro j seeded in tbo direction of the bridge, which he crossed, and in a short time after pulled up at the bouse of a pmminant resident. The occupants of the carriage ut once stepped out upon the walk, open ed a little gate, and proceeded to the frontdoor and pulled the bell. Tha sum mons was answered by a servant, to whom a card was given, after which the party was shown le the parlors and left there while the servant went to announce their i presence. . The driver of the coach outside, after i being relieved of this load, did not return I to the east side, but drove off to a neigh boring livery stable, and placed his ani- < uials under shelter thers, but did not un- i harness them. After throwing robes over < the animals, he found a seat by tha side of I a warm tire in office, and chatted with a ■ couple of stable boys who lodged therein. I In the mean lime the minutes flew by, I and when the clock over the doer was tick ing within half an hour of midnight a light t step was heard outaide, and there was at rap at the door. The driver responded \ with alacrity, and after a second's convor- i sation proceeded to his tesm, drew the t robes front them, mounted the box and backed out of tha stable, turning about when outside and going in the direction of the river, lio had driven a short distance c when he caught sight of a little group 1 gathered at the intersection of Exeter and 1 Wyoming streets. llere the carriage 1 stopped, and the same quartette that bad s disembarked from the 8-W train at the da- I pot entered, and the horses were turned a and ttarlad toward Wyoming. In a very short tims, for tl e animals t were driven rapidly, thatquiat eityofthe p dead, Wyoming Cemetery, with its white ti shafts and crosses and slabs, gleamed in view.

In a recent trip through the West my sUention wss constantly drawn to tba im mense consumption of tobacco by chewing. This mode of using the narcotic poison is mere damaging than any other, not per er, but because it is susceptible in this way of constant use. A man srnokas two hours s day, 11a chaws fifteen hours. Tba sun* ken c beak sand unhappy resteasness of tha men of the West are largely attributed i to chewing. Leaving out for tha moment the he j smeared lips, beard, and clothing, leaving out tba inconceivable filth which covers < (liellecT of the car, hall, pew, sidewalk, everything, leaving out tha sickening odor of the breath, in hriaf the unparal leled aaatinese of the indulgence, we can not abut our ayas to the poisonous, de structive influence of the habit Tobacco is an immensly powerful poison. If a boy tan years of age, who has naver used to* hacco, taka into his mouth a piece as large as a pea, and simply chsws it without swallowing a drop, bsfore bo has finished simply squeeting it between his teeth, be will break out into a cold, clammy per spiralion, his pulse will flutter, be will vomit, and falling down upon tba floor, be will taom, for two hours, as though bs were going to die. Tou will bave to go far in a drug store to find another poisoa wbicb, in tba site of a pea, bald in that boy's mouth and simply squeeaed bntween bis teeth, will produce such affects as these. Ths men of lb# West, the most vital in tba world, having drafted net only the great mass of the choicest young men of the East, but thousands of tba most enter prising and dateruined young man of Eu rope for ila service, with opportunities which it makes ons dixxy te try to mea sure, are filling not only themselves with this horrid jtoison, hut in numberless ways are transmitting the deadly influence te their offspring. How any man, who knows that svsry condition of tbo parent, whether it be op animal or a man, must influence for good o- ill the offspring, can consent to become the father of children while his system is so dominated by tbis powerful narcotic, that an abstinence of twenty-four hours nearly sets him craxy, I can't concaivs. Only God can ftilly uiaasure tba magni luda of this evil, first, in its influence upon the present men ofthe West, but infinitely worse in its iufluonce upon the vast, team ing myriads of the great Wast of the fu tare.—Dio imt'i in 7b Ikiy. THE WHITE RACES OF AFRICA. An ancient while kingdom in Africa, of which we bate many hints in Grecian history, is that known as Ethiopia. These Ethiopians, who may he said to have par ished befora history was born, and who aie described in the vague, exaggerated language of tradition, teem to have boon a powerful and enterprising race. They are spoken of in the Hebrew Scrip tures under the name of Cuth, though it is probable that these Scriptural Cushitns in habited southern Arabia. The Sanscrit writers refer to them at existing in south western Asia, and as subsequently inhab iting eastern A trice. The first country is described in the Puranas under the nam* of Cutha Duripa ; the latter it called Cutha Duripa without.
