The Adventists, at midnight of Mon

of the world, but again with disappoint

tho Advents can live to look and guess
again for that little event. If one of
them climbed a high j-ole, maybe he
might see it a-eomen alar off.

Il is now said that Morton avows him
aelf a candidate for President. This puts
a big strain on Grant's Third-term pro
el iritties. Morton is the radical leader
In the I'. S. Senate, and has swallowed
all the had administration business, and
willingly went into work which Sehurx,
Sutnner, Kenton and other republican
leaders could not be driven to assist in
upholding and in consequence bad to
cut loose from radicalism.
South Carolina cursed with carpet-bag
rule, will endeavor to reach some of the

gence from there says that the war
against corrupt officials begun by Gov
ernor Changerlain has already resulted
in the arrest of Niles G. Parker, the
state treasurer under the tieott and Mos
es administrations, upon charges of fraud
and embexilement, preferred bv Gover
nor Chamberlain and others. Parker
has been committed to the Columbia
jail in default of $250,000 bail. It is ru
mored that this is but the first of a series
of efforts to bring the publie plonderers

Williams, Grant's Att'y Gen'!, has re

whose wife kept up a carriage and team
at government expense. He intends
going to his home, in Oregon and run
for P. S. Senator.
With the retirement of Att'y General
Williams from the cabinet it is more than
probable there will be a complete reor
ganization. Besides Williams and Dela
no two other member* of the cabinet
have intimated a detrminvtion to retire
at an early day.
Further advises from Washington say
that behind all the reasons for the res
ignation of members of the cabinet, is
the fear of investigations which it is
known will be set on foot next w inter by
the democratic house of representatives.
There are a series of charges which will
be preferred soon after the opening of
the session that will involve, it is stated,
the secretary of t he i nterior and the attor
ney general.
These relate to transactions in the
public lands and hare nothing to do
with Indian affairs. The facts relating
to tliis particular case have been placed
before the President, but he paid no at
tention to them, regarding them as
manufactured stories. Those interested
arc determined to bring the matter to
the attention of the next house and ask
for a committee ofinvestigation.
The citizens of this state have suopi
cioned something wrong in the manage
ment of the state treasury—an important
institution, which has been under radi
cal control for the last ten or twelve
years, and in which the honest tax pay
era of this commonwealth have a deep
interest —as all the taxes direct and in
direct, that are wrung from them, go in
to the treasury to the amount of sever
al millions every year. These moneys,
it is believed, and with good ground too,
are fanned out by the ring, and used for
purposes of private speculation Instead
of the legitimate uses as prescribed by
the constitution and laws.
As there have been charge* of rotten
ness in this department of the state gov
ernment, the house at its recent session,
passed a resolution authorizing a com
mittee to Investigate the books, and af
fairs in general of the public treasury,
and ascertain whether the charges of
foul play are true. It was fitting and
proper that such a committee be appoint
ed. The office is a public one, and the
people have a right to know whether
their servant, the state treasurer, has
been true to his trust.
The House committee referred to, last
week went to the treasury department,
at Harrisburg, and stated its mission.
Mr. Mackey, the radical state treasurer,
aaid "No, that he would notallow> com
mittee to investigate his books and the
affairs of the treasury." Now why not?
That department belongs to the people,
and Mr. Mackey i* the people's ser
vant, and the masters of this servant
certainly have a right to look into their
own affairs, and see whether their ser
vant has been faithful in the discharge
of his duties. No one will gainsay this.
Yet Mr. Mackey refuses. Then there
must be something wrong, which Mr.
Mackey is afraid to have found out. If
his management is all fair and square,
why refuse to let a committee look into
it?
It is undoubtedly true that the public
money has been used by member*of the
ring for private speculation, and that
vagabond politicians of the radical party
4ltve been making large gains by tbe
handling of million* of dollar* of the
every your, and llnil i*

"We won't tuv here long
The above is the speech made by
(irant, after tlie train atop|ied in the
depot at Hartford, Conn., on lb, on hi*
way to thet'oneord celebration. A crowd
was waiting to see the I'resident; sever
al members of his cabinet were with
him, among them l'oet-Masier tlcneral
Jewell, of Hartford, who, when the ears
reached his own city, stepjied ti|H>n the
platform with the President, but the
crowd didn't cheer a farthing's worth.
The P. M. tlen'l then tried to start a hur
rah by saying "tiontleuien. the Presi
dent of the U. 9," and onleml three
cheers which were given, tirant then
uttered those words, "Wc wont stay
here long." Had this little incident
happened from the stejw of the M liite
lioiise. this speech would have been one
ofthe most significant oratorical efforts
of the great smoker, and settled the
Third-term question, to the relief of
Rlaine and IJaytrunft, atid other* whose
hearts are aching for tiu' ppssesaion of
the White House.
"We won't stay here long"—these
words Ulysses may rejH-at -mc day t , -
tween this and March 4, IS7S, when sil
ting and musing in his chair at Wash
ington upon tlie ungreatftvlncss of Re
publics. We are sure that the peo
ple have a speech for hint in just as few
words : "We don't want yoti to stay lon
ger," and that will be followed by a big
flitting from the White l!ou-o to t Sale
ns.
But it is too bad that llartfont, the
home of Jewell, did not have an enthu
siastic "three cheers" all ready just as
soon as Grant stepped out on the plat
form. However, the Connecticut elec
tion, which was held only a few weeks
before, did not look as though the j* o
ple up there felt in a mood to cheer in a
Third-term direction, heme it was not
at all unnatural that "We won't stay
here long"—this was resolved ujou on
higieuie principles, for the President
knew Connecticut to have an unhealthy
atmosphere.
THE TREASER Y IXVESTICA Tl<>S
The account*, says tin- Morning Patri
ot, of the difference between the investi
gation committee of the house and State
Treasurer Mat-key, are so incomplete
and incorrect as to convey an exceeding
ly erroneous impression. The facts as
they took place in the interview on
Thursday are as follows; The commit
tee waited upon the State Treasurer
Mackey, and informed him that they
w ere ready to proceed with the discharge
of their duties. Mr. Mackey replied
that he couhl not recognize the commit
tee as such, but he would allow them as
citizens of the commonwealth and mem
bers of the legislature to examine the
public accounts and ascertain that the
state funds were intart. If 011 examina
tion, they found all the accounts correct
and the public money accounted for. he j
would expect the committee to give him
a certificate to that effect. To this the
committee responded that they would
make an impartial examination and
make a report in strict accordance with
the facts; that they were ready to pro
ceed with the investigation hut would do
so as a committee, whatever might l>e
Mr. Mackey's private view in regard to
their powers in the premises. They
then requested tliat the hooks of tin
treasury be shown to them in order that
they might ascertain the amount of mon
ey in the treasury at the close of the pre
vious day's business. Here Mr. Mackey
raised an objection, and said that the
committee, under the resolution, must
begin with the accounts ofState Treasur
er M'Grath. To expedite matters tin
committee requested the production of
the cash books of the treasury fr<>ni the
beginning of M'Graih's term until tin
close of the previous day's aoounts. A
number of books having lecn produced,
an examination was begun with the as
sistance of Martin Powell,esq., w ho was
accountant for the committee. At this
point Mr. Mackey came in from the out
er room and exclaimed, "No more of
"this. I will not permit any intorfcr
"ence by outsiders. The committee can
"examine but not outsiders." Mr. Pow -
ell signifying his intention to depart the
committee requested him to wait, and
informed Mr. Mackey that he was their
accountant, and not an "outsider" or in
truder. To this Mr. Mackey replied,
that he recognized no committee, hut
would allow the committee as members
of the legislature to make the investiga
tion. The committee declined to make
the investigation merely as mentla-rs of
the legislature, stating that their object
was do make a full and fair inquiry in re
gard to the treasury ballance then on
hand, and see that the money was intact;
and that in order to do this they requir
ed the service ofan experienced account
ant, as provided for in the house resolu
tion. If the right to make such an ex
amination were not accorded them they
would retire. Mr. Mackey would not
yield his position, and the committee
accordingly withdrew.
There have been seventy-one working
days consumed in the BeecherTilton

sur-rebuttal, which will consume as
much time; ami then side-shows will be

said, "I guess there's nothing f r it but

with* hasty movement Grunt's hand
went into hi- pautaloon- juakti. and
fishing out a small wallet fie abstracted
a hundred dollar hank n>te and thrust
it into H.ukett - hand. Grant then
stood to one side and Hackctt went for

i proaehed the door keeper and said,
I "The ticket- are Wing bought, surely

The door master glanced at t|n- t wer

"I presume no fault o uM W found

Says the N. V. World ; The report of
the working thus far of Compulsory Kd
u cat ion act will not probably alter the
opinion formed of it bv any intelligent
person. Nine truant agents have com
pelled XW children to inquire a partial
education at the public expense. The
parents of tlu-sc children, it is not sur
prising to learn, "have expressed thein
"wive* as U-ing onlv too glad to have
"some means t<> keep their children out
"of the streets." The school thus a J wars
in the light of a childqtound, and the
truant agents, of a domestic constrahula
rv. So long as the parent lsassnred that
ht-r offspring is at school she may rest in
the sweet consdou.-nes- that lie is not in
the poliie station, and while the truant
agent with his umberella-crook or lasso
woon him to the halls of learning, she
need not worry herself lest he is making
her responsible for filched fruit or frac
tured panes. Whether or not it would
1m- wise to appoint "agents" to see that
children were properly and adequately

Fo M troe, April 111 I.a*t night the

in thi*scctioii, aud it u well under*:--, d
the lower p- ninsula dep. ml entirely upon
their early vegetable* for tub*i*len e, and
a failure to produce a good and paying
crop incur* distre,* -i I sometime* ruin
u; >n them. This season the climate in
tin- section h** been very favorable to the
production of c irly er->ps, and the farmer*
in thi* v iyinity were iubilar.t over their
pr."pevt*. Even before the i-<- gorge at
I'ort Dep -sit had been removed their ear
ly | ■ tatoe. were up, and tiny anticipated
beating the J. r-eymen by at least three
weeks. But the freer..- of last night has
put a damper on their spirit*, l'artie
vrlio had an orchard of some 3,000 or 4,tW
pea-h an I pear trees, vsho were jubilant
on Friday over their brilliant prospects of
a bountiful crop, now say lh.il if they get
d< r.en baskvt- froni the whole orchard
they will be doing well.
In fa.*; ib-- whole crop of early vegeta
ble* p- ;t*. 1-eniis, potatoes, strawberries,
etc., have I cut . ft'in the blossoms of
their youth, .- it were, and the hard work
ed ami pi-.-rly paid farmer has to go lo the
• xpeuic and trouble of buying new s#ed
and planting new crop* in order to realise
anything in the present summer market.
On tho h-wer peninsula the only produc
tion rt-lie ! upon by farmers is early veg
etables, and if these fail they are gone.
The merit cold snap has ruined their pro
spects, and they have nothing left but to
replant and try it again.
The damage to the crop* in the vicinity
of Norfolk is even more disastrous than in

Cincinnati, April *2l.— Tho Commercial!
this morning publishes advice* as to thoj
condition of the fruit and wheat crop* from;
sixty-one towns in Ohio and thirty-one in
Indiana. In Ohio the peach crop will be
a complete failure. Apples arc but slight
ly. In regard toother fruit, one town re
port* a good crop, twelve report a hall
crop, ui.d forty-eight report no crop at nil,
as to wheat, twenty-four towns report the
crop uninjured, twenty-two report u half
crop, and twelvo no crop.
In Indiana thirteen town* report the
crop uninjured, eight a half crop and nine
no crop. A* to fruit, three report n good
crop, seven a half crop, and tw. nty-one
no crop. Advices from fen towns in west
ern lVnn-ylvnia indicate about half* crop
in fruit and wheal. A dispatch from De
troit, Michigan, slates that reports from all
part* of Michigan indicate that the drouth
and eold weather have greatly injured tin
wheat crops and killed off peaches very
generally and seriously damaged small
fru U. Apples promise a good yield.
Plentiful rains may improve the wheat
crop very materially.

THE COAL TA X DECISION.
! Reference ha* already been made to the
vary important deeition'of Judge Pearson,
lof Ifarrisburg, touching the constitution
ality of the art f last year levying a tax
upon coal mined. Further reports of the
grounds of the decision. The decision j
involves hall a million dollars of taxes, and]
the case nay bo stated in brief. Tho Au
ditor-General made a settlement of - ]
Ut) against the Kittaning Coal Company
for the tax tm coal mined and purchased.)
The Company refused to pay the tax and]
the case was submitted the court by agree-i
iiient; tho defendant raising four points,
viz: First. That the tax imposed by the!
net of £4th April, 1874, being upon roab
mined or purchased by corporations, and'
not upon coal mined or purchased hy in
dividuals and partnerships, was not uni
form within the tlrst section of the ninth
nitiuleof the constitution. Second. That
anthracite and bituminous coal were of
different values according to quality and
i location, anil the statute assuming lo im
pose a specific tox of the same amount
without regard to values was unconstitu
tional and void. Third, The imposition
upon all coal mined or purchased by the
j company, except that used in their busi
ness, mid tho omission to impose the tax
on the eon! of Individuals and partner
ship#, was in effect an exemption of the
coal of the latter j such exemptions were
prohibited by the Constitution and the
statute making them was null and void.
Fourth. A corporate franchise was not
j properly subject to taxation under the
; State Constitution.
In deciding the case Judge Pearson held
lluit Ihe first, second and fourth point
must be decided In tho negative, hut tliHi
tho third point must be sustained, thus de
ciding the law unconstitutional. The fol
lowing is the concluding paragraph of
; Judge Pearson's decision :
The Legislature must bear in mind that
they no longer possess the unlimited pow
er formerly exercised. It is their duty to
'carefully study the meaning of tho Con
stltutlon mid conform to its piovisioua. IT
