Christianey, is the name of the new Michigan senator in place of "bloodlet ting" Chandler. Tom Rallard. a noted counterfeiter, was convicted in the Cnited States court and sentenced to thirty years' imprison ment. Right—let all of that *rt l-tion. This is the Zack who before the late civ il war w rote a letter saving that he ''thought a little bloodletting would do .ood," but when the bhKMilettiiig came ..t! he never went near enough tube in danger of having a weed top of hi* juice let out.

This a ill save several thousand dollars for holding a special election in this district, and leave the vacancy to bo filled at the general electionin November. to the distnav of some whose mouths were watering to become his Mmwor, and who liad many niec little plans laid to slip into his shoes, although not able even to prop orly (ill an eyelet-hole in the sauie, Walker township has a weighty re sponsibility upon its shoulders —a can didate has actually sworn that "if if did not instruct for Mm, he would go hack on the party." Well that would not !>e his first "going back on the pty." But w liat kind of meat doth this fellow eat, that he should speak thus? The Senatorial election at Harrisburg, last week, is another evidence of the im portance of democrats remaining faith ful to their nominations; the loss of a few more members would have been the defeat of Mr. Wallace for I". S. Senator. Had the plot succeeded last fall, by treacherous men in our party, to defeat the district nominations ami the county ticket, a radical would now probably la the new Senator from Pennsylvania, as our majority would have been cut dow u to -t narrow a margin, as to place it in the power of theCameronsto carry their joiut by money. The Kejtorter last fall, pointed out to the democracy of Centre county the ob jH-t of the Modoc movement and the secret and open assistance it received fn.ni a few treacherous democrats in our county who conspired to defeat Mackev, Wallace, and to drag down the county ticket, oat of sheer spite because they were disappointed |for office, and far abler and better men nominated, and thus to make it appear that the party <-annot get along without them, and un less it always keep them at the crib. Let the men who hatched the movement be kept in remembrance —some of them will soon be asking for office again. The greater portion of the radical journals and members of congress en dorse Grant's Louisiana outrage. Of these we can not believe many to be sin cere—they endorse it out of fear of the Presidents displeasure and on account of their party. They know it was an in terference unwarranted by law, and in violation of the constitution and laws. But it will not do to admit this. Al though such distinguished and able republican leaders as Bryant, Evarts, and others denounce the outrage and three cabinet members wash their hands of it. Those that defend the doings of banditti Sheridan cite nothing from the constitution or laws to show that the president's conduct has the sanction of law. In another column we print the report of the congressional sub-commit tee, composed of two republicans and one democrat, which recites the unjus tjge that has been practiced upon the people of Louisiana. THE PA TR ONS SPEAK. The Patrons of Husbandry of Louisi ana and Mississippi have issued an ad dress to the order throughout the United Htates endorsing the report of the Sub- Committee of Congress. The address concludes as follows : "Believe us, this report, made by gentlemen of the North and intelligent Congressmen of both po litical paries tells the truth. We refer it to you, and trust every Patron to whom this appeal may come may give it an attentive reading." The clergyman of all denominations, chamber of commerce and all other boards pronounce the stories against the southern people malicious falsehoods, and now come the Patrons of Husband ry and add their testimony. We think this makes the evidence against Grant and banditti Sheridan too strong for doubt. The little campaign now gaing on, haz unearthed tome "promising" thing*. Promiaes have dropped into nearly every township ; about a dozen fellows have been "promised" the next Sheriffalty, ten or fifteen the next treaaury-thip half doz en the prothonotaryihip, and so en, if they "help me get the instructions" in their townships. This beaU the "promised" land all hollow, for good things that are to be showered upon the idolatrous just out of Egypt' Europe looks warlike. The London Times of 17, in its leading editorial article, says: "In the gloom surrounding us one thing isjserceptiole. All men are arming, Germany is arming en masse, and sur rounding nations, including the best part ofthe world, cannot do otherwise The momentary dreams of peace have fled away. Germaay recognizes the stern ne ve.-sity that what she wop by nam only hold by arms, and while aims are /n her hMH? The Times ennftmses that 1 raise a third arjny hopes are in heavy. IH/ A -WALLACE The rlrdioii of Mr. Wallace it- I s i Senator from Pennsylvania, i* well re ceived by the democrat* in general, *lw , a large class of the republican* admit that the honor :e conferred upon a gentleman of ability ami purity of char acter. We have ntanv gets! ami able democrat* in thia eotninonwealth who would have been tit for the position, hut there wa* no one more deserving than ho upon whom the distinguished honor ha* lwen conferred. Mr. Wallace has litliorod imre earneat ly ami effectually to keep the denuwrat ie party of Pennsylvania in a healthy condition than tytv other leader that can l*e mentioned. To this work he has de rated himaelf 111 aunahine and rain for the lat twelve rear*, ami a*' know of no man who would have ariod he also sUeil as the leader in the state sen ate where his integrity and unlwrnling devotion to the public interest- was not only the pride of the detiKa racy hut also gained for him the rv>|eol of the opposi tion. With Mr. Walhnv in the I', s. Senate, tVnnsylvania will have a true reprcsvu tative, and the democracy one win- will continue in the work of building up the |artv and securing the triumph of those great principle* of which he is one of the most able champion*. Mr. Wallace will lie missed in the state senate. FKOM HARMXBI'itU No bills of special imjsirtamv have |>*>MHltlii' state legislature as yet.

In the senate, Mr. Krmentrout offered the following resolution, which was adopted: That the committee of finance be in structed to report on the feasibility of holding no session in 1878, except a spe cial session of one week to open and pub lish the returns of election of governor and state treasurer. If this should be finally adopted, the "new" member from Centre, will m>t get inueh more than a taste of legislative experiem-e. Bakeoven is the name of a member of the House at Harrisburg.

Bayard, Demo crat; Massachusetts, Dawes, Republican COMMON SCHOOLS The report o( tho Superintendent of Common Schools for the year ending June 1,1874, shows that the number of schools in the state it 16,641; of these, 5,606 arc graded. There are 19,327 person* employ ed as teachers. The average salaries of male teachers, per month, are $42.95, and of female teachers 85,97. The length of the school term is nearly 64 months. The nnmbar of pupils is 850,774, with an aver age attendance of sixty-seven per cent. The average coal of tuition for each pupil was 96 cents per month. The aggregate cost for tuition, buildings, ftiel, contingen cies and expenditures of all kinds $8,847,- 939.88, The estimated value of school property in the state is $22,569,068. There has betn an increase, during the past school year, as compared with the previous year ot 386 schools, 279 graded schools, 238 teachers and 16,754 pupils. The cost of tuition was increased $202,- 510,66; and the cost of buildings, fuel and contingencies, etc., $301,296.91. The in crease in the average attendance of schol ars was nearly double that of new pupils, which shows an increased efficiency of the system. The following #tatement indicates the extension ofthe educational system in the past ten years: 1865. 1874 Cost of tuition... $2,615,628,62 $4,527,308,03 School bouses...... 466,068,06 2,100,614.87 Total cost 8,614,238,56 8,847,939,88 No. of graded school*. 1,743 5.586 Daring the same time the average sala ries of male leachera have increased thirty per cent., and female teachers forty per cent. The increase of the cost of tuition per head has been twenty-seven cents per month, since 1866, and the increase in average attendance haa been about ten per cent. The comparison it note-worthy as showing the tendency to provide for the physical comfort of scholars. The expen diture for tuition In 1866 absorbed over two thirds ofthe whole amount of school tax and appropriations, while in 1874 it barely exceeded one half. The expenditure for school house* in 1866 amounted toless than one-seventh of the gross school revenue, while in 1874 it exceeded one-fourth. These results are exclusive ofthe amounts appropriated by the state for normal schools and the soldiers orphan schools, which swell the amount of total cost by half a million of dollars. During the past year 664 new school houses were erected; 1,701 school houses are reported aa "unfit for use;" 6,681 "bad ly ventilated;" 1,968 are properly construc ed .and furnished, 2,666 have seats and desks so badly constructed as to compel children to violate the laws of health in using them. There are in the state 73 separate schools for colortd children, with an attendance of about 2,600 pupils. Text books are uni form in 12,1645ch0015; the Bible is real in 12,129. The whole number of students attending Normal school* was 3,856; the number of graduates during the year 131. The dis position on the part of the legislature to multiply the number of Normal schools bsyond tha requirement* for the supply of trained teachers is deprecated by the state superintendent.

REPORT OF THE CONGRES SIONAL SUB-COMMITTEE. Numerous Act* Co tutu It tod by (lie Reluming Board. ,# * NOT A SINGLE WTN ESS POUND TO PROVE INTI MIDATION BY CON VERNATION. VtJ KKHKI I /".V AG.tIXST TIIK VXb rn> snrts ao\ KHXNKXT Washington, Jamtari 1V The sub committee ap|Hiinted to visit New Or leans for tlie purp-e of investigation has re|H>rted to the general committee. .Vfler giving a full account of the action oft he Returning Hoard, the committee rejH'rt that they are constrained to ni> the action of the Hoard to rejecting re turns in the |soi*h of Rapides and giv ity: seats for that parish to Republican candidates was unfair and without war rant of law, If the committee wa re to go In-himi the pa|H-r* before the Hoard ami is insid er the ullegisl charge of intimidation on proofs before the committee their tiud ing would nmwwhlt lie the same. Rapides jiarish was taken a* a sample parish of intimidation, many witnesses frotu which, of lioth parties, -how lc --yond ipie-tinii that there was a free, full, fuir ami jwaceablc election ami n-gistra tion. There araa no evidence of any in timidation of voters prart iced on the day of election, although it wa* asserted that the intimidation of colored men liefore the election had la-en adktol liy threat* of refusal to employ themortodiseharge them if they voted the Republii-an tick et. Nil evidence either of discharge or of refusal to employ wa. produced. t'er taiit witnesses themselves, every one of fice holders, testified generally to such action, hut hardly■any one was tdde to specify it single instance on which he heard any employer mi threaten or dis charge any voter or know n of any em ployee being so threatened or discharg ed. Not one single colored man through out the entire, parish was produced to testify either to sueh threat or to the ex ecution of such purpose whether Wfore or afler the election. THE IKMRD IVI MM IIS M*\\ ILUtUJkL ACT*. The cummittee alluded t> ttutnerous illegal acta of the Returning lluael ami says: Again we an- constrained to say that the action of the Returning Board on the whole was arbitrary, unjust, and in our opinion illegal, and that this ar bitrary. unjust and illegal action alone prevented the return by the hoard of a majority of Conservative memliers to the la>wer House. The committee confined their investi gation to two jarishcs and find that no general intimidation of Republican vo ters was establi-hed. No colored man was produce*! who had been threatened or assaulted by any Conservative l>e eause of political opinion or discharged from employ nieut tr refused employ ment. Of all those who testified to in timidation there wa# hardly any one who of his own knowledge could specify a reliable instance of such acts and of the white men who were produced to testify generally on such subjects very nearly all. if not every single one was a holder of office. No witness*-*, we be-j licve, succeeded in naming in any jmr-t ish SITE HEPI'BLIt .VNs WHo M CeoHTEII TMEj KELUMHi UUVttNMENT who were not themselves offlce-hoMeiv or related to the office-holders r those having official employment. Dn the other bund, applanations to the 1 idled States Commissioners in various parish es not only for alleged crimes, but be catiae of allege-1 threats of *lie-harg*- and , non-employment or other interference with political preference were frequent.j ("{sin these applications warrants wer* ! often iwned and white citizens arrested j and bound over for trial. In many lo calities Federal troojis were detained for service under marshals ami not only made many am-sts immediately before the election, but reports an- that they were coming to particular neighbor hoods about the time of the election for the purpose of making Mich arrests which served, as the Conservatives claimed, to Intimidate and sometime# even to pnslucr a stampede among white voter#. Ilow differently the two! parties look upon the same fact will ap pear from the testimony of Mr. Riddle. He was United Stat-is Commissioner in the jmrish of Iberia, shortly In-fore the election, upon application of colon-d per sons, he issued a largo number of war rants. He considered it his duty, upon the arrest of the persons charged to re quire bail from sureties who |>ssv*sed landed estates within the i>arisli certified by the Assessor of the parish to la- of sufficient value, and of wljich the title was approved by the Register of Deeds. This rule necessarily produced delay in procuring bail for persons arrested, and he was waited on in one case bv a PROCESSION OF CITIZENS who offered him a bond sig4Fi by every man in the procession. This he regard ed as in derision of his proceedings, and refused to receive the bond. He was called as a witness to prove that any in timidation existed in that parish. He had himself no knowledge of any act of the kind except this procession which he thought was calculated to intimidate colored voters. He had no idea that ar rests made under his warrants and pro ceedings under them had any effect in interfering with Conservative voters. On the other hand the Conservatives in that neighborhood thought about this just the reverse. Indeed, the reports of military officers in command of forces of the Unitad States in the country, though generally indicating the condition of qniet and order take sometimes an en tirely different view of the situation. NEORO CONSERVATIVES INTIMIDATE!). On the other hand it was in evidence that the blacks who sought to act with the Conservative party were on their part sometimes exposed to emnity and abuse. In the interior one colored man was shot for making a Conservative B]>eech, and in New Orleans it appeared from the testimony that the colored men who sought to co operate with conservatives were subject to so much abuse from the police and otherwise that an association of lawyers volunteered to protect them, bat with little effect. The Committee gave an account of the general condition of affaire in the Stale, The conviction among the whites that the Kellogg government wax a usurpa tion ; the general want of confidence in the State and local officials; heavy de cline in State securities, and exorbiant taxation; the deduction of wages ; non fulfilment of itereonal and political pledges; malfeasance of home and local officials ; disputes among leading colored persons ; loss 01 embezzlement in some cases of school funds, and failure of the Freedman's Bank, all combined to di vide the views of the colored voters dur ine the late campaign. Aw effort was accordingly made by t*he Conservatives to acquire a part of the negro vote. With that view, it was sought in many quar t< cm to tlirm.

I Thi* wa* not only unlike the Pharisee with whom he i# placed in comparison, but un like multitude* in our day, who rush P. ilie chief seat* in the sanctuary, and flip pantly *r their prayers a* a business mat iter, and would tie unable even to do that with any t of grace, should they find jsome other wor*hi|wr in their accutiomed place ; unlike tho* who are more anxious jt'i pray eloquently than penitently ; unlike tli< whose language, intonations, and ' gesticulation* betray a greater desire to be j praised of men than to praite God. He 'would not lift up so mueh a* bis eye* un do heaven." It was mercy he sought, ile made no demand# upon justice, based . upon the fact that be bad done some de- ,rent thing- A* if he haled his sinfultelf, ] he "*m>it* upon his breast, saying, God be ; merciful to me a sinner." And Jctus in the parable make* haste to say, "I tell vou . this man went down to hi* house justified rather than the other." We may con clude primarily fiom thi# thai forgiveness will couie to tbe vilest sinner if penitent, and that even he may come to be more '.dear to God than the religiou*bigot whose real and strictures are evidences of his •>c!f-rtghleou*net, and not the result of] hi# devotion to God. Humility constitutes the virtue of this! character we are considering It consist#; i ill lowliness of inind, • deep sens* of one #i own unwoftbyoms in the -ight ot God,] self abasement, penitence lor sin, and sub-! mission to the divine will—"serving the! • l-ord with all humility of mind." By tbe ! : sire#* laid on humility in thi* parable it . is made tbe distinguishing grace of ll.ci children ofljod, and brand* as hypocrite* those who make great pretension* and poa-. , -ess it not. Kepeitance. faith, and Jove, require a] . distinct exercise of the sou! Humility is' it resultant of these, together with the In- 1 fluence of normal view* of r*vealod truth, it i a ju*l view of our actual selves, art*- > ing from correct view* and lealing* toward, tbe Divine government and Go.pel It , #• not desire vainglory. Il remember* i "that r, > flesh should glory iu Hi# pre*-j 'en re, hut that he who glories should' ' "glory In the Lord " Humility is palicnt , under provos-ation* and trials,* and luoksj ( u|xn all men with the eye# of Christian charity. It doe* not degtadc its posse* - sor, but sets a proper estimate u|son the; i graces and talent-G-sd has loaned us. It k our religious convictions do not produce, this grace in us then they are radically de. feclive. Kvery conviction based upon IH ' v ine truth humbles the soul. Yet anp>ng . honest people there are yariulie* of I r giour VIJH ricncc in refv-mnca to humility. I line will be superficial, showy, and rash, j 1 i..sd* op mostly of animal feeling* and in -, i flamed imaginations ; not distrusting -elf., , becau-e he has n real knowledge of self, j When lie speaks be sends chill instead of' cheer to the humble heart. Anothar is ju ' dirious. cautious, modest, but not silent, . e t ei-au-e t disgust their own consciences! nor worldly mind* with whom they more. A(pin, I fiar that a uertain style of pre-, 0 tenting the (Lwpol, rc-orted to by some r preacher*, banishes humility and culture* _ pride. That kind of preaching that calls people to the sanctuary to find a substitute * for the drama, to hear immaculate rhetor ic. to a J mire talents rather thnn to be bum bled before God, and to be led to make the publican's prayer • "God he merciful 0 to me a tinner." The harmless arrow* fall at their feet but do not pierce their heart*. The religious pyrotechnic* glitter and "'coruscates far above their beads, but no g live ooal burn* the proud flesh out oflbeir „ I souls. Thpy go away praising tha prefix ing hut not praising God. These are a ,f few <>f the many foe# of humility among •I profe*M>d Christians. But there are more j reason* why man should le humble than , there ore causes to koep him from being. ] Humility i* a grace inherently beautiful '* and lovely in the eyes of God and all pure i-[ intelligences Splendor is admirable, but . humility i* lovable. "Thus saith the high ' and lofty Gne that inhahiteth eternity. '• whoso nsmo is holy, I dwell in the high i- and holy place; with him alt* that is of s P contrite and humble spirit, to revive the r spirit of the humble, and to revive the hert of the contrite ones." n Pi-ace follows in the train of humility, jr God ha* charge of the tw. worlds, and the humble soul, with a serene and silent * | transport, moves in harmonv with Hi* ' purposes. The fact that wc have sinned s against the Holy Gne ought to bring proud . I man with blushing cheek and scalding tear* to the Redeemer's feet Being sinners, humility I# the first con -1 dition of |.iart|n The holy dove only 1 hovers over tha ptuttrifte *oul. Are wej I unrepentcnt sinners i ar te wandering! prodigal* ; are we sickly Christians ; are] 5 we hungry pilgrims ; let u* all, people and • preacher, humble ourselves in the dust, i, and each pray, "God be mercifti! to me a . sinner. - ' "K7 K*rar rr4 Mu.cl f*fftWrhouM now New For Jlotm or Slmm l\wir Cross-Cut and Circular WOOD- SAWING MACHINES l>rw r,i*Hvi OlrruUn md Prtffi lArt mb! frtt-.
