Schuylkill county is moved from i-en
tre to circumference by the discovery oi
glaring frauds in Mahanoy township.
These frauds which have just been
brought to the attention of the court arc
said to quite eclipse those for which the
County Commissioners were convicted
i-t fall, and so sternly senteneeil by
Judge Pershing. Systematic peculation
carried on by the aid of forgery, ischarg-
eJ by the auditors both against the
t w nahip and school district officers,
• .iiid the District Attorney is preparing
o have the guilty parties indicted.
The appropriation bills reported by
Congressman Randall in the House of
Representatives yesterday, show a re
duction of some $8,000,000 from the Ad
ministration estimates. Former appro
priation bills which have already passed
showed nearly the same amount of re
duction for other branches of the ser
vice. With the reduction of the amount
to W expended and the breaking-up of
the corruption and wholesale peculation
that have been going on under the Ad
ministration of Grant, the people ofthis
country have good reason to rejoice
over the selection of a Democratic Con
gress in the fall of 1574.
Tiie white house is full of trouble.
Grant's joy over Babeock's acquittal
was doomed to short duration. Bab had
scarce returned and received the white
house congratulations, before it was dis
covered by Useless that Bab stole one of
his private letters, and furnished it for
publication, and now the fellow whose
"goose huug altitudilum" finds himself
kicked out of the white-house—Bab was
given his walking papers one day last
week. What right had the president to
expect anything else ? Will Grant still
e ready to swear that he has perfect
< onfidence in Bab's integrity?
Next comes Orville Grant, a brother
>f Useless, he has been' having a hand
in the speculation in post-iruderships
with Grant's fallen Secretary. Belknap.
This is coming home pretty closely into
the frrundtchail, and does look a little
lead. First Bab, his private secretary ;
*oon after his war secretary, then broth
er Orville.
But now it appears that Pierrepont,
the president's attorney general, has
been guilty of playing false in the whis
key trials, and kept posting the crooked
whiskey attorneys with what was doing
in the Babcock case, thus enabling Bab
cock and his counsel to so shape their
case that the ends of justice might be de
feated. Pierrepont makes a denial
which is thin, and the House has now
resolved to give him an investigation
also.
Xow last comes Mrs. Grant. The doc
uments have been found which show
that she received a present of a lour
thousand dollar watch from Gen. lu
galls and immediately after Ingalls ob
tained a first-class appointment from
the president! Mrs. Grant and her old
man Useless are "innocent" no doubt,
but hang any devil in the Reporter of
fice if the thing don't look little sus
picious.
These things are enough to bust up
the white house, and dispel third-term
dreams. But they are not all—the end
is not yet—the investigating committees
say they have lots of the same sort on
hand, and the dear plundered, tax-rid
den people can look out for astounding
revelations.
But where does Grant stand, amid all
these disgraceful developments against
his household and cabinet? Why he
was the original present taker, and pro
ceeding his first inauguration was the
recipient of houses, corner lots, checks,
pups, &c., and all the makers of the
presents were appointed to high and re
sponsible positions after he became
president. Shades of George Washing
ton, into what hands has our govern
ment fallen!
A bill has passed the Senate repealing
that portion of the act of 29th day of
March, 1851, allowing Agricultural So
cieties to draw annually SIOO.OO out of
the County Treasury. Hope the bill will
become a law. as there is no good reason
why the taxes of the people should help
to keep up institutions too generally
used by private parties for speculation.!
The President said when the full force
of Belknap's exposure broke upon liirn :
"Great God! Can I trust any man in
this country ?" No, General, better ad
here to your old cush principles.—Balti
more Gazette.
Washington dispatch to Baltimore
Sua : ''lt was said to-night by a person
supposed to be well informed that with
in three months General Grant would
be convicted and removed from office
by the vote of a Republican Senate."
Evidence is said to have been present
to the committee on the District of Col
umbia, of the payment of $5,000 to Gen
eral Garfield, by Nicholson, a contractor
under Boss Shepherd, for services in ob
taining a contract from the Board of
Public Works.
The New York Sun thinks that it is
rather late for the Union League of that
city to denounce Grantism, the system
which it has been bolstering up ever!

[Frotu the llarri>burg Patriot
A republican governor cannot plow
very deep without exposing the sterility
of partisan subsoil. One of the m>-t
creditable acts of Gov. llartranfUs ad
ministration, and one moat unfavorably
commented upon, was the appointment
of Hon. John H. Orvis, of Centre I*ollll
tv, as additional law judge in the Twen
ty-fifth judicial district. He might hav<
appointed a republican lawyer, in defi
ance of the well ascertained choice ol
the people of the district, whose term of
office would have ended with the fall
election succeeding ; but the appoint
ment of Mr. <rvi* w..- recommended
by the bar of the three counties in which
he holds court without distinction o
jurty, and Gov. Hartranft merely made
a reputable and deserving selection ii
deference to the general de-ire. At tin
time, Mr. Orvis was a member of the
legislature, and in this circumstance h
been found the opportunity of uialig
nantcomment, equally uncharitable an
untrue, and reflecting both upon Gov
Hartranft and his appointee.
A recent number of the Allegheny
Mail rehashes the charges made again*'
Judge Orvis, which that gentleman has
never deigned to notice, but whicji may
possibly ne reiterated until they tin
believers. The Mail connects, bv innu-
endo, the retirement of Judge Orsi
from the legislature and hi* acceptance
of a judicial position with the sinking,
fund legislation of 1874. It intimatc.-
that the judgeship was the price paid
for the retirement of Mr. Orvis pcndiiiK
action on the sinking fund bill.
On its face this charge is stupid. The
republicans in 1H74 had a majority in
both branches of the legislature and
passed such measures as they desired in
spite of democratic protest. Mr. Orvi
was powerless to deliver or delay am
legislation he might contract to furnish
or frustrate, and there was no necessity
for paving him with a judgeship for
what the republican majority could help
themselves to without cost and without
question.
But the facts do not sustain any im
putation whatever upon Judge Orvis or
Gov. Hartranft. The sinking fund act,
prepared by Judge Orvis, but not intro
duced by him. it being thought prudent
to have it presented to the legislature
by a republican metnl>er, contained all
tne provisions necessary for the publi
cation of the transactions ami protection
of the moneys of the sinking fund.
Moreover, it passed the House and j.
sent to the Senate in the shape it was
introduced. In the latter body it w.t
shornofthe provisions requiring publi
cation of sworn statements of the sink
ing fund and sent back to the House the
emasculated measure which now stand I
upon the statute book. All efforts of the
democratic minority, both in committee
and open house, were ineffectual to pon
tile bill in anv other shape than that de
sired by republican state officials. Tin
only provision they could save was tin
one made necessary by the constitution,
which made a permanent separation he
tween the moneys of the sinking fund
and the general fund and put an effect
ual stop tothe robbery of the sinking
fund principal. At the same time it
necessary the disclosure that tin
moneys of the sinking fund had been
illegally withdrawn to the extent of
nearly "three millions of dollars.
The original sinking fond art drafted
by Judge Orvis was intended to carry
into effect the letter and spirit of the
constitution. Had it been adopted no
further legislation would have I ecu nec
essary for the protection of the fund.
But it suits the purjiose of evil minded
persons to alw ays find in every act some
inducing animus of wickedness. In tlii
case invention is called tothe aid of in
justice. The Patriot never approved of
the resignation of Judge Orvis as a mem
ber of the legislature even to accept
what was a flattering tribute to his tal
ents from political opponents. But if
the truth were known as to the moving
cause which finally induced him to tuk<
from the governor a position to w hich,
a little later, he was chosen by the peo
ple of his district with remarkable
unanimity it would do him uo discredit
and make his accusers blush.
The World's special of <>, says : Pres
ident Grant's transparent effort to pre
vent Belknap's impeachment is still the
theme of almost universal condemna
tion, and its disgracefulness becomes
daily and hourly more apparent. Said
a prominent Western member to-day
in a discussion on the subject: "It is
the most atrocious outrage on law and
the greatest insult to the people that has
ever been perpetrated." Daily and
hourly also the signs of official quaking
and tumbling thicken and the unload
ing process is going on with ipore haste
than decency. The storm of indignation
which has followed the publication of
the Piernq/out letter btvs thoroughly
alarmed not only lirunt but the whole
Cabinet and all the li publican leader*.

' t China and Japan nearly a week ago.
hot his assistant wui before the committee
and swore that false reports of the pr. gre-s
and success of Wiard's experiments with
••avy ordnance on Nut Ivlaud we-, do
ihorately and continuously made, and that
inoat of the experiments which Wiard did
make could have been made In aim-,it any
f the (rovernmont navy-yards at one
tenth expense. It came out in the testi
mony that one abol which was fired c-si
the (sovi-rnnient so,(*W, and that rotten
sheet iron fastened together was used for
targets, for the purpose of making the
, shots appear to greater advantage. It was
shown that Government paid Wiard in a
$252,000. but it was not shown where any
great proportion of that am >unt went to.
B -toti people who spent any considerable
ime down the harbor have a verv strong
suspicion that a good deal of it went to pay
for the grand sprees which he was wont to
have in hu private yacht. It alaocame out
in the hearing yesterday that Wiard's
boasted patents were really no patent* at
alt, and that some of the money paid for
them was paid in direct violation of the
, law before they were officially reported
upon.

X LARUE PORTION OF COCNTRY SWEPT BY A
Ft MIOt'S TORNADO.
Chicago, March 10. —Specials rojmrt
that a most terrific wind and rain ami
thunder utorm visited the Northwest;
late this afternoon ami this evening. It
appears to have extended from Quincy.j
Illinois, to the northern portion of lowa,
and to have been especially severe near
the Mississippi river. At some places it
amounted to a tornado ami considerable j
damage was inflicted. The town of
lioxle (ireen, in the southeast corner of
Grant county, Wisconsin, near the Illi
nois State line, which place has about a
thousand inhabitants, mostly lead niin-j
era. was struck by a tornado aitout 41
o'clock, Messengers were dispatched to
Galena and Dubuque for doctors to care
for the injured. 1 liese messengers told
a storj- of the most extraordinary de
struction of property and life. One of
them affirmed that fortv-onepeople had
been killed outright or injured, and that ,
the town was almost totally destroyed.
There is no telegraphic communication
with Hoxle Green.
A special from Galena says that it is
impossible to get accurate news from '
lioxle Green to-night. The latest ac- 1
counts give tbe list ofkilled and wound- I
ed as follows: Joshua Kicharda, Mrs.
John I.ooney, Mrs. Thomas Iticliurds,
the wife, mother and daughter of Thos. (
Kd wards, a son of Joseph Jackson, Kd- i
ward Thompson ami his father nine 1
persons in ail. There was a rumor that
eighteen were killed, hut it cannot be
authenticated. A great many hadlv in- 1
jured, some probably fatally. Broken i
legs, arms and other casualiti'es are re
ported in numberless cases. The village
was built of wood, nnd the tornado '
swept a clean track from southwest to 1
northeast through the town, destroying
twenty-six buildings in all.
THE FLEBH STOET.
Louisville, K v., March 10.—Cnptnin J.
M. Bent, of Mount Sterling, Ky., and a
gentleman will known for reliability, 1
arrived in Ixmisville to-night with spec- '
imcris of the flesh which fell last Friday ,
in Bath county. The flesh, which eov- |
ered two acres of ground, resembled <
mutton and left traces of hiood on the c
trees and fences which were touched by t
the falling flukes. Chickens and hogs '
devoured it with evident re'iah. The 1
heavens were clear, the sun shone, and v
only a few floating clouds were visible '
at the time the shower occurred—2 p. ut., "
March 11. Quantities of the flesh have [
been preserved. That brought to Lou- ,
isville was given to Professor Lawrence ,
Smith, a well-known scientist, who cays (
it is without doubt animal flesh. lie t
purposes making an examination to- •
morrow. Hundreds of persons are will- '
ing to attest with affidavits the truthful- 1
ness of the entire matter.
