Hops Bill Pissing
An attempt to pass an important
tax bill for Philadelphia, was attemp
ted in the House at Harrisburg the
other day. When the vote was had
the speaker announced the bill pass
ed. A democratic member, Mr.
Stranahan, had kept close tally aud
instead of the bill baviug on* majority
as announced, Mr. Stranahan found it
was a tie, by which the bill would fall,
and he called the attention of the
House to the fraud. The thing was
done by some one Toting for Mr. Ash
who was absent —some one played the
personating game, so well known to
Philadelphia politician;. Au investi
gation proved Mr, Stranabau's tally
correct.
A few days after, on the3o ult„ the
following proceedings took place in
the House relative to this persona
tion :
Mr. Porter rose to a question of
privilege and asked to have read the
following statement in the Patriot of
this morning:
"There is at least one able-bodied
repeater in the republican delegation
from Philadelphia. In voting lor Mr.
Ask he was only keeping his hand
in."
••The question before the bouse is,
who voted in the name of Joey Ash ?
If discovered will not the perpetrator
of this fraud be liable to punishment
for violatiug the laws against false
personations f'
He then said it was currently re
ported that he was the member who
had voted in Mr. Ash's name. The
statement was false, wicked and ma
licious. He bad never voted for Mr.
Ash, but had simply told Mr. Allen,
of Warren, as he was passing out the
door not to forget to vote, and he was
under the impression that Mr. Alien
had voted by mistake for Mr. Ash.
Mr. Allen, of Warren—l remem
ber I was standing near tbe door talk
ing when the vote referred to was be
ing taken. I remember Mr. Porter's
reminding me not to forget to vote. I
answered as I thought to my own
name, and I only intended to vote
once. I did not bear Mr. Porter vote
aa he went out.
Mr. Stranahan—l was the person
who made the statement that Mr. Por
ter had voted in Mr. Ash's place.
When the yeas and nays were being
taken, I was interested and I was
watching. I was looking io the di
rection of the gentleman from Warren
(Mr. Allen) when Mr. Ash's name was
ealled. A gentleman was going out
the door at the time who turned
arotind and answered. I called Mr.
Crawford's attention to it, and asked
him if the gentleman with sandy hair
and complexion was Mr. Ash. He
•aid it was Mr. Porter, 1 know Mr.
Allen's voice; it was not he who an
swered. I may be mistaken, but I
honestly think it was Mr. Porter who
voted for Mr. Ash-
Mr. Porter—One question. Does
the gentleman sar I voted for Mr.
Ash?
Mr. Stranabao—l honestly think
so.
Mr. Porter—Then I again repeat
that tbe statement is falsa, wicked aud
malicious.
Several other statements on both
sides were made in regard to the rost
ter tad it was finally dropped.
The governor of South Carolina on
the 12th of April, 1874, pardoned
twenty seven convicts out of the peni
tentiary because the state was too poor
to keep them. They marched in a
body to the stale house ami asked for
relief The state, it will be remem
bered, has been bankrupted and im
poverished by carpet-bag rule.
STATE SINGING PROFESSOR.
A bill has been pasaed by tbe Leg
ialature, says tbe Columbian, requiring
tbe appointment of an additional
Deputy Superintendent of Schools for
tbnatate wboee business is to be to
visit the various schools and give in
struction in ainging 1 Next in order
will be a professor of ball piaying,
and then a Deputy to superintend
whistling schools. There never will
be an end to Legislative tomfoolery
until tbe people see tbe necessity of
electing none but men of great ability j
and unquestioned integrity as gover-'
nors, and altogether a more sober- 1
minded and solid set of men as Legis
la tors. We put it to tbe common
aense of any man, wbat can be more
absurd than a State Professor of sing
>°g* going around amongst 2,000
schools, ostensibly giving lessons in
singing—iu fact squalling a few newly
fashioned songs into the ears of gap
ing children.
Arkansas continues in a ferment,
and both parties are still armed and
evidently eager for the fray. The
President still refuses to interfere, and
the only way to end the disgraceful
quarrel is through the Legislature.
It is more than probable that that
body will take sides as warmly as the
militia seems to have done.
Our special despatches from Wash
ington, says the Pre*, gives the lead
ing features of the new financial bill
prepared by the Benete Finance Com
mittee. The date fixed for the resump
tion of specie payments will most pro
bably be 1878 ; free banking is provid
ed, greenbacks redemption to the ex
tent of 80 per cent., and the abolition
of the reserve on national bank circu
lation. Our correspondent doubts the
success of the bill or ef any legislation
on the subject at this session.
A crowd witnessing a rew in Detroit was
dispersed bjr the announcement that "a
collection would new he taken up for p
poor widow. 1 '
Ircnacus, in the N. Y. Observer, in
an article on preaching, headed "Too
la>ul and Too Long," wy* wilh it-ft-r
ence to the latter:
The other part of thu promise —"too
long"—the space left in this letter 14
too short to discuss. The bishop did
not tell the young men how long ia too
long, and 1 presume he did not know
himself. Probably nobody knows.
What is "too long' in one preacher is
"very abort" for another. And vice
versa. Many bestow the more abund
ant time on the parts that are least
deserving, and spin out a dieconrce to
forty five minutes, that was done and
wcli done at thirty. Many an audi
euoe has been preached iuto a good
frame, and then out of it, in the aiue
sermon. It is better to aeud the peo
ple away craving for more, than sati
ated to disgust with too much, even of
a good thin b. If great preachers are
sometimes long preachers, it is not
true that length is essential to great
ucss. "If I never did a great thing,'
said a preacher, *'l am sure I never
did a long one." "Short, aharp, and
decisive," is the demaud of the hu
mau mind in the attitude of receiving
instruction. It is enough for the ser
vant to be as his master, and our Mas
ter's sermons were uot long. Paul
was once so long preaching, that one
of hia hearers gut asleep from sheer
weariness, fell out of a third story
window and was killed. The best
models we have, >f pulpit eloqueuce,
encourage youug preachers to be short.
As preachers bcoorne older they gen
erally preach longer sermons. This
is one of the chief reasous why a peo
ple grow weary of their pastor as he
becomes aged". If he shorteued his
sermons as he grows in wisdom and
grace, packing what he has to say in
fewer and better words, they would
like him more instead of less. Short
sermons would thus lengthen the life,
usefulness, and pastorate of the miu
ister.
The new financial policv is proba
bly foreshadowed in the following par
agraph from the special correspon
dence of the Baltimore >u :
The senate finance committee held a
meeting to-day for the purpose of ma
turing a new financial bill. The new
bill, it is understood, will contain ecr
tain features of the old bill originally
reported from the committee, with a
number of important additions.
Among these will be more defiuite
provisions for free banking and re
demption. The committee will hold
another meeting to-morrow, and will
hear the views of several of the lead
iug senators who voted for the curren
cy bill lately vetoed. The free bank
ing section in the new bill the commit
tee agreed to-day should provide for a
retirement of forty per cent, of legal
tenders in proportiou as the volume of
the banking currency is increased un
til the aggregate amount of legal ten
ders outstanding is diminished to
1300,000,000. The fixing of a time
for specie resumption will be consid
ered to-morrow, and tbiee or four
rears hence agreed upon. The bouse
currency bill will net be repotted.
The committe have assurances that
the house will probably accept free
banking, with other provisions con
templated in the new bill.

From Baltimore comes an account
of a shocking case of brutality commit
ted on a negro boy named J*rues Hea
rt Woodier, aged fifteen yea**, in
Howard county, by two negro men.
On tbe twentieth of April, according
to Woodley'a statement, the two men,
without provocation, scarred and
branded his body and limbs in tbe
most crgel manuer with a red-hot iron,
aud afterwards pouted spirits of tur
pentine over his naked body and low*
er limbs and set him on fire. In this
conditiou he escaped from his perse
cutors and succeeded in extinguishing
the flames, in what manner he is
scarcely able to tell. Hie back and
legs were roasted to p crust, and be
recovery is doubtful. It if reports 1
that tbe parties perpetrating the out
rage bare been arrested.
THREE DAYS AM> NIGHTS
AFLOAT ON A CAKE OF ICE.
A correspondent furnishes us with
the following, and vouches for its
accuracy :
On the last day of March, a man
named Patrick Ryan, of Maitland,
N. S., was walking along tbe shores
of Minaj Basin, on the board ice,
which extended some yards from tbe
banks, when suddenly the piece upon
which be was walking became detach
ed aad he drifted out to sea. This
oocurred some time in tbe forenoon.
After drifting about all night, expos*
ed to the severity of thp weather,
which it will be remembered was very
severe, be was sighted off Diligence
river the following morning. An at
tempt was made to proceed to his res
cue, but, as always happens in such
cases, pot a beat could be found in
which it wss safe to leave the shore.
The wind blowing a gale at the time,
the man drifted out of sight in a short
time. During the night the wind
veered round and the unfortunate
man was blown back in the direction
from which he had come. He de
scribes his sufferings from exposure
ant] hunger, during this time, as be
yond daaoviptiop. His frail bark was
slowly but surely growing imslJer be
fore his eyes, while the waves dashed
over it, deluging him almost every
uiiuute, aud thus added to the miser
ies of his (loariitioa. He dare not ait
down lest be might foil asleep, from
which he well knew he would never
awake. It was only by the moat su-
Iterhuman effort that he succeeded iu
.ceping awake, aP.d from constantly
changing his position, managed to
keep himself from perishing with cold.
011 tbe morning of tbe fourth day he
was finally sighted again, although
nearly in gp insensible condition.
Our correspondent does not say
where the man was brought ashore, or
by whom, but states that he soon re
covered from tbe effects of his novel
and dangerous voyage.— St. John

In the strly part of IWW live men
living at Saegerstown, Pa., entered
tho house of a Mr. Bennrhoff, a
wealthy gentleman, at Petroleum
Centre, and compelled him to deliver
up the key to our of his safes, in which
he kept a large sum of muuey. The
robbers secured over fAOO.OOO, and
made good their escape. Two of them
wero afterwards arrested aud convict
ed. and were sent to the Penitentiary.
Two others were ucver heard from,

money was secreted, but before the
time appointed for a division of the
spoils Saeger stole the entire sum, aud
tied. Mr. Uemiehuff offered SIOO,OOO
for his arrest and conviction. After
a search of si* years, the outlaw has
at last hceu arrested, aud is now se
cure iu the county jail at Deuvsr,
Colorado. The story of his capture
is related iu the Denver News, from
which it appear* that he was recognis
ed bv Mrs. Potter, into whose hus
band's restaurant be had gone to get
some oysters. She called him by
name, and he confessed bis ideulily.
Her husband recognised him also, aud
though he had ouc* adopted the out
law as his son, he was ready to bring
him to justice because of some outrage
he had perpetrated upon a relative.
Uy follow lug the advice of detective*
his arrest was finally made, and lie
coufeaaed everything. From hia own
account it appears that he became a
boatman on the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers after the robbery aud then went
to Mexico. From there be passed iu
to Texas aud cugaged iu the cattle
business for three yeaia. Starting
North with a drove of cattle he made
his war to Denver aud iuto the bauds

with too rnauy reverses to do to. The
stolen money, be says, is where it can

IN LIMBO
The editor of lha Huntingdon Globe
was last week convicted of libeling a
certain Dr. Uiumbaugb, aud senten
ced to pay the costs of prosecution, a
fine of f 150 and undergo 40 dajrs im
prisonment. He now writes his edi
torials in prison, John Bunyau lika.
This conviction is the result of our in
famous libel law, which will not per
mit the editor of a newspaper to prove
what he statea is true, but the reverse :
"'The greater the truth the greater
the libel." The editor. Prof. A. L.
Guss, in one of his prison epistles
says:
"The whole matter grew out of and
constitutes part and parcel of the se
ries ef devilish persecutions to which I
have been subjected by the minions of
John Scntt, and which he vainly sup
poses will enhance hit political pro*
spects.
If anr man, in the State, was ever
hounded, traduced, abused, falsely ac
cused and villainously lied upon, as I
have been, I have never heard or read
his name. If the people of this coun
ty will stand ibis outrage to be inflict
ed upon one of her unoffending citi
zens. and not resent it at the polls
next fall, we are much mistaken in
their temper.

that in this countv a Court of Justice

We fere not alio wed to give the
truth in evidence, nor to show that
what we did was for tbe public good.
The letter of the law was enforced and
technically lbs Jurv could not well
avoid tbe verdict, but the sentence
of the Court, to gratify the Scott King
I regard as shameful in the extreme.
May God and ths people visit upon
my persecutors the trouble and infa

I rely upon tbe com mo u sense of

For four months my butiueas has
bad to be neglected. Thousands of
dollars have been literally stolen from
me, all my business affairs in chaos,
property going to destruction, and
daily great losses are entailed upon
me for want of personal attention.
Yet I am to lie here 40 days to add to

The reader* unvaried in the proctta,
which it ia propesed to aubititut* for tlow
mouldering in the grave, will neturally
think of the ancient pyro and probaVy
suppose that it it lliu intention of the advo
cate* of the plan to burn the bodie* upon
huge piles of variously scented wood. after
the Greek or Kouian fashion. Little
would be gained in au ••tin-tic or even a
tannery point of view If tuek Wore tlio
system, tor the gs.*s and fume* evolved 1
would be far from healthy. The body of
the peet Hlmlly wet thut destroyed. and

ing the beautiful and poetic rite intended,
the proi'Me was a very dUagreable and
aauaeout operation. Hcience pre* ides a

In the apparatus ctpocielly dented by
Protestor Brunetli for the purpose, and by
that inventor recently described in the
French Herut After having
ntade several experiment* on the humeri
subject, in which the bodina were burned
in the retort* ef get menu factorial, in close
receptacle*, and with ftee acceaa of air,
l'rolessor Burnett! And* that an oblong
fernace of fireproof brick i* required, hav

intensity of the Ire <-aa b regulated. Tne
upper part of this is hollowed te receive

flted by thick iron wire The eperetien
embrace* three periodt lite heeling of the
body, the spontaneous combustion, and
the calcination of the bone* During the
Irat period, and about balf an hour alter
tbe pile of wood in tbe furnace ha* been
lighted, tbe combustion of the body com*
uicncet. If the wood ha* been well ar
ranged, two hour* suffice to produce com
plete carboaication. During the third pe
riod. the air hole* being opened, tbe car
bonised mat* is collect#.! ami placad upon
a freab plate and iba beat it urged to tbe
ulmoal. a Ireeb supply of wood being in

the *1 petite of about ISO pounds of wood,
complete incremation may be affected in
two hours. When the furnace he* cooled,
the cinder end bene* are collected and de
peaitad in a funeral urn.
Bo far a* sanitary benefit to the people it 1
concerned, we caunet but think the argu
ment* of the advecelo* af cremation are
cegeal and forcible It U well known
that numbers have been rendered ill by
water from springe end well* which have
become contaminated by tbe near proxim
ity of graveyard*, end it i* also a Tact tbet
there I* a miasm arising from theee recep
tacles which, at M uni**r*aUy recognised,
render* their pretence ia crowded locali
ties dangerous to health. We do not tea
the ground of tbe assertion tbet by burial
the rertaliting proprieties ef the bodies are
lest to tbe earlri, for it seomt to us that
they ar in a* good a condition for abeorp-
Uon a* if sprinkled in tho form of ashoe
ovar the surface Neither can wo incline
te the belief, that by adopting cremation,
a point ef economy will be gained, in
avoiding the expensive paraphernalia of
modern funerals, since the letter are gov
erned purely by the dictates of fashion,
and that fickle individual would speedi
ly mate the jeweled urn at costly an affair
a* tbe sculptured stone
Anything whiuh seeks te subvert a set
tled poputai eastern strengthened not on
ly by long usage but by a prejudice grow
ing out of n religious feeling, presents, j
however, at best a doubtful prospect of'
success There it uut n person, we may
safely say, who, when the horrors of pos
sible living hurrial, the slow decomposi
tion, and the change* ot tbe lorn) of a lov
ed nne to a loathsome thing, to poison the
health of the living, are laid betore him,
will not admit that the oloeed furnace, tbe
pure Ire flame, and tho dan! handful of
dry clean changeless ashes are much the
better of tho two ruoaas of disposition ; but
hia admission in tbe end will be found to'
Ui apply to everybody in the world WV'
himself and his family. It is a „(
the heart in the end. '. o hhc mind Sci
ence, cold ne<! passionless, may point out
tbe better way; but if its adoption it to
tear wider tbo wounds caused by tepara
ttow from those we love, no amount of rea
soning will induce us to follow it. A hut
band may give bpi wife, a mother her
child, into fhe cm braces of the ewrth, and
endm# the keenest sufferings as the dirt
ent( stone rattle en the coffin lid : but ibis
act, revolting as it may he, is connected in |
the laiaginauoa with the highest and ho
liest of thought*—the hereafter We may;
bury those nearest to us in our own bit of :
ground , wo tuay imagine that their forms
remain where we put them, and we inayi
tend tbo Hewers which bloom over their
resting places as maesengera front Iheut to
us. All this we tan do. butthese are few,'
we think, who would have tho heart Ul
band his dead child or wife to a public of
ficial to bo burned, or would care to see
the asbes ef h.i ancestors scattered over the
j earth as manure.—SreexUpk d*WKbt.
