Our School Books
In the state senate Mr. Rutan has
introduced a bill which provides for
the appointment by the Governor of
four discreet citiiena of the Common
wealth, who, together with the Super
intendent of Schools, shall constitute
a commission for the purpose of ex
amining and selecting the text-books
to be used in the common schools of
the State. After careful examination
of text books used or prepared or of
fered for use by author* or publish
ers, they shall select and agree upon
a series for the use of the achoola
throughout the Commonwealth, said
scries to include every branch of stu
dy authorised to be taught in auy
public school of the State. The com
mission shall agree upon each work of
the series separately and upen its own
merits, and no book shall be held to
be choeen which fails to receive the
affirmative vote of a majority of the
commission. In case of failure to
agree upon any particular part of the
series from books already published,
they shall prepare books to complete
the series.
Now what guarantee ia there that
such a committee will not be a par
tisan one, compoeed of bawling politi
cians who will be proof against bribes
from publishing houses? The text
books fixed upon are to be in use
throughout the state for five years,
which will be a big thing for whatev
er parties are favored, and the favor
ed ones will most likely be the ones
who "come down" most heavily with
greenbacks upon the book committee.
One series of text books may be adop
ted and yet not really be better or
even as good as some that may be
black-balled.
The recommendation of thij com
mission is to be submitted to the leg
islature, for approval, it is true, and
as that body is so notorious for its
purity and incorruptibility there is a
little comfort here, sure—and why
not leave the job to the legislature
at once, as they have the actual say
in the matter after all under this bill,
and there weald not be the necessity
on the part of the book nen of bay
ing op both the book commission and
the fellows on the hill. Generally
speaking, our legislators are about as
competent to judge ef the merits ef
text-books as so many Hottentots.
And then the bill feathers a new lit
tle neat very nicely for somebody, as
follows :
"The commission shall receive as
compensation the sum of ten dollars
per diem for each day engaged in the
discharge of duty, with a proviso that
the total compensation of each com
missioner shall not exceed S3OO per
annum."
We think the legislature should let
this matter alone—a commission to
select text-books will not be an im
provement upon the present plan—it
will be the creation of school-book
monopoly that will fleece every bead
of a family that haa a child attending
the public schools. We are for im
provement and progress in all that
pertains to our public schools, but ic
the bill of Mr. Rutan we see the seeds
of monopoly aod corruption, and our
common school system proelituted to a
money-making concern for some cor
rupt book commission and venal aod
ignorant legislators.
The following wail comes from
a radical paper, the Tyrone Herald.
Its nothing more than what was fore
seen by Democrats long ago. The
Herald says :
The cry of party will not avail
much next fall, should the present
state of affairs continue much longer.
We opine the people will vote for
their own interests regardless of par
ty names. Something must be done,
and that very soon, if thousands ef
business men are to be saved from
utter ruin. Congress will not afford
the relief, the people whoee servants
they are, have and are demand
ing.
Centre county being entitled to two
representatives in the lower house,
will also necessitate the election of

lirown for Lieut (Jo*
Viewing the matter from a radical
•landpoint, we place Hill Brown in
nomination for the new office of Lieu
tenant Governor, for that party. We
arc not a radical, it is true, never
theless that does not hinder an "it
dependent jounalist" from "going tor
him." Brown is as full of virtues a*
an unkempt trnaut is of lice, and he is
a mighty man in his line. The tea
sons that should impel any radical to
go for Browu, are cogent, ami the ap
ple-dumpling philosopher being set in
the background by his modesty, we
beg pardon of all radicals for coming
to bit relief and bringing him into
that notice, which hie transcendent
talente, abilities*, and services as a
radical leader and blower entitle him
to. Mr. Browu is not an ordinary
man—to say that he has comtuou seuse
would be doing him injustice, end far
be it from us to be guilty of that.
Col. Brown has blowed harder for
the laboring classes than auv man we
know of, in fact he has busted three
bilere iu that kind of work, in his
time. It was Brewu who "carried
Centre county for Grant." It we*
Brown who opposed John H. Orvis.
and swalled his majority to over 700
iu the county. It was Brown who put
through Levi Miller's nomination and
carried "honest Samuel Granilev in
his pocket, until a hole was worn in
that receptacle and Samuel dropped
out much to Browu's consternation.
It ia Brown who exposes Orvis all the
lime and calls for hitu "to explain.
It is Brown who has read Beaver and
Furst and BlancharJ, and all "the
arrlstocrats" out of the party, and
still "carried it for Grant." Now
these service* entitle him to some con
sideration at the hauds of his pafty.
and the LieutenautGovernorship is the
recognition he is entitled too. Ail
the colored troops of Centre oounty
would go for him, for he associates
and drinks with them, and they look
upon him as a man aud brother.
Brown will accept the nomiuatiou too,
the radical party owes it to him, and
let it not prove ungrateful like Repub
lics it.
The Cameron* Corniug
The Harrisburg correspondent of
the Philadelphia Press predicts that
John Scott will b involuntarily re
tired at the end of his preeeut Sena
torial term. It is said that Mr. Scott
entirely failed to secure a following!
within'the ranks of the Republican
organization in this State; that he is
obnoxious to its leaders, that Simon
Cameron has resolved that his eon
"Don" ehall be Mr. Scott'i successor,
that "Don" ia infinitely more poten
tial in himself than Scott —in short
that the thing is being securely set up
so that the Camerout, father and son.
shall share the Senatorial honors and
profits of Pennsylvania between
them.
From what we know of the politi
cal aitealion we are inclined to be
lieve that the correspondent of the
Press is correct in his conjectures
John Scott was made a senator by the
Pennsylvania railroad at a time when
it kept a majority of the members of
both branches of our state legisla
ture in its pay. Then it was cus
tomary for the agents of this great
corporation to employ members by
the session, at so much per session,
the terms of the contract being vari
ed occasionally according to circum
stances. Looking over the state the
railroad concluded to take John
Scott out of his retirement as a solici
tor of the company at Huntingdon,
and to send him, as its representative,
to the United States Senate. Mr.
Scott loomed up as a candidate very
suddenly. With the exception of a
lot of insignificant rural politicians
from Huntingdon and the villages
round about, nobody appeared in Har
risburg to press his claim. The real
pressure in his favor came from a
source which made little show but
which did not preteod to be secret.
The Pennsylvania railroad did not
attempt to conceal the fact that it
was seeking s seat in the United
States Senate for one of its solicitors.
Cameron caved. He had no candi
date. He did not pretend to make
a fight. His son "Don" contented
himself with making Mackey State
Treasurer for the first time. Then
began the manipulations of the
Treasnry Ring which has ruled the
Republican party from that time un
til the present. That '.his Ring will
enter the next Senatorial coutest no
one can doubt, and there is no one so
likely to be put forward by it as J.
Donald Cameron.
The correspondent of the Press
forecasts the future well. Without
a change in the constitution of the
legislature we shall certainly see the
Camerona. father and son, in the;
United States Senate at the end of j
John Scott's term. — Lancaster /•

The revenues of the Federal gov
ernment saya the Columbian, are fall
ing off ao rapidly that the debt muat
necessarily continue to be increased
and additional taxation muat also be
resorted to. We say necessarily, be
cause no disposition is manifested to
meet the emergency by cutting down
expenses to an economical standard.
In fact the opposite disposition pre
vails: to increase expenditures, es
pecially salaries, and this is true of
both the Federal and State govern
ment. In both the revenues are fail
ing far short of the expenditures, yet
the latter are constantly, uselessly
aud unjustifiably increased, and this
will continue until the people take the
matter in hand and elect no men to
Congress or the Legislature unless
they are thoroughly pledged to low
salaries and general economy.
Mrs. Mary Clemmer Ames, in one
of her Washington letters to the In
dependent, says that the gift of dow
ers Bent by the colored attendant in
the ladies, retiring parlor off the Ben
ate gallery to adorn the coffin of Mr.
Bumner, reached the room of Benator
Cameron that same evening and was
sent by him, with his compli
ments, to a lady stopping at a hotel.
She adds: "I would rather he Kate,
weeping for the despoiied offering to
departed honor than the woman who
received it or the Senator who sent it.
It bore upon the coffiu a card with
this inscription,'A tribute from Kate
Brown to the martyred Senator, who:
has gone to reap his reward." I must
believe that by some mistake it wa.
carried to Mr. Cameron's room. But
how in keeping that the man who
despoiled the greatest Benator of his
honors in his Jife should rob Lim in
death even of the flowers upon his
coffin." r !

Now For Inflation.
I The N. Y. Tribuue, commenting
. upon the recent vote in Congress,
I
The opening battle is over, and the
t inflationists have won it so clearly,
t that we can no longer offer the shred
I of a hope to those who have still
trusted in the Senate. The inflation
. of forty-four millions is substantially
. settled, and, to all appearance, worse
I remains behind. Mr. Schurz'samend
ment to Mr. Sherman's bill to make
, |306.000,000 the maximum limit of
,jlegal-tender notes instead of $382,-
, 000,000 was yesterday voted down in
theSenateby 18 to 40. Mr Wright
I then moved to strike out the whole of
> the first section of the bill after the
, enacting clause and insert a provision
fixing the amount of legal tender notes
at 8400,000,000. This was carried
, by a vote of 31 to 26. Twelve Sena
tors were paired, making the relative
. strength of the inflationists and unit
. inflationists 37 and 31. There are
.two vacancies (Massachusetts and
f|Louisiana), and Messrs. Alcorn, of
. Mississippi, Gilbert of Florida, und
Boutwell, of Massachusetts, did not
j vote. It must therefore be conceded
that there is a majority in the Senate
iu favor of a circulation of at leastjfour
millions of legal tender notes. Both
j the Senators from California, Con
necticut, Delaware, Maine, N'jvnda,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Texas and Vermont —
j eleven States —are in favor of per
i milling our currency to work up slow
ly to the specie standard. Both the
!Senators from Alabama, Arkansas,
j Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, lowa,
Kansas, Minnesota, Nebrasku, North
| Carolina, South Carolina and Vir
ginia—twelve States—are in favor of
indefinite postponement of the time
when our paper shall be worth par.
Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan,
Missouri, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
'j Rhode Island, Tennessee, West Vir
ginia, and Wisconsin—ten Stales—
:are divided.
Iu the ability and character of
their represent ati ves the opponents
of the contemplated fuither debase
ment of the paper money have a
predominance, hut in numbers, un
fortunately, they have not. Now let
us have the rution of paper—both
legal tender aud bank notes —fixed
for the current year as soon as possi
ble.- We are alreudy launched once
more upon a sea of speculation that
may prove as wild, if not as disas
trous, as that through which we have
lately passed. Balloon prices, and
after some time, the inevitable collapse,
are the order of the day.

In relation lo the phenomenon that is
! now terrifying the people in the neigh*
borhood of the Bald Mountain, rau
dor forces me lo admit that I do not
believe the.r fears altogether ground
less. I wa on the mountain on the
night of the l>t iust. The noise
seemed to be under the ground in a
| small valley between what is called
the Round and the Stone mountains,
though 1 could nut exactly determine
the locality. Sometimes the shocks
are very heavy, accompanied by
j sounds similar to the defoliations of
j artilerv and the earth is shaken for
miles around. A very perceptible
movement is seen among the trees
when the vibrations take place, and
the houses are sufficiently jarred to
arouse children from their nightly
slumber, when they manifest their
fright by cries mid screams. The
sound is more distinctly heard in the
valley thnn any other place. The
people who live in the vicinity are
very much alarmed and many of
them are preparing to emigrate. A
protracted meeting is in progress in
the immediate neighborhood, and up
wards of forty persons have professed
religion and joined the Baptist Church
the only denomination in this section.
Prayer-meetings prevail, in which all
take an active part, frotn tho worst
sinners to the best and purest Chris*
tians. I attended one of these meet
ings, and feel safe in saying that it
was the first religious assembly I ever
witnessed where every one was so
deeply interested in the salvation of
tho soul. If this noise is followed by
no destructive eruption, it will be a
good thing for these people in a relig
ious point of view. These subterranean
sounds are not constant, but are heard
more or less distinctly every day.
Land can be bought at trifling prices
at this time on the liald Mountain,
but no one has nn inclination to pur
chase. As I did not visit the loeali
ty for the express purpose of writing
an elaborate account of this interest

hasty and indefinite narration of what
