'WW flu Ceatre Reporter. FRED. KURTZ EDITOR. CENTRE HAM., P-, Mar. 22., 1*77. The latest we have concerning our railroad is of the most encouraging na ture. Bellefbnte ia wakening up a* re gards the branch, and consultation* have been held with contractor* to enter upon the grading. The construction of a turn-tahle at Spring Mills has been abandoned Una was the ghost that ecu red some into thinking the road would stop at Spring Mill*, though we never saw in it such an indication. We arc also informed hy parties who have been in consultation, with Col. Scott recently, that he was warmly in favor of having the road com pleted forthwith. The article in the Reporter or two weeks ago. we see from the Tyrone Her ald, has also stirred up the people of that tow n and set them to moving to keep their end alive and join with the Repor ter for the finishing up of the work. Tyrone will now use all its efforts for the road through. Right, let the ends keep pace with the centre and agitate, and work, and a few more lifts will s.-e the work completed. Keep the ba)l rolling. A few grains of roasted coffee eaten immediately after eating onion*, ©r a teaspoonful or two of vinegar, removes at once the strong odor froui the breath. Miffiiuburg Telegraph. You lie. Simon Cameron reaigned tbe t. S Senator-ship, the resijuaUon taking ef fect on 12 or this month. Simon order* ed the republicans in cur state legisla ture to elect his son Don in his place, ami it was don accordingly. This keeps the thing in the family. Simon is no* 7S wars old. The next thing in order for him w ill be to prav that his sine be forgiven. The senate haa confirmed John T. Johnson as post-master, at Bellefonte. Mr. Johnson held the office 3 years, and was a good officer, but some of the re publicans of Bellefonte thinking he was in long enough, favored the appointment of Thomas Burnside. Mr. Burnside would have made an unexceptionable post master. In the House at Harrisburg local op tiou was defeated by 109 to 60. The democratic caucus, at llarrisburg, nominated senator Dill, of Union for I . S- Senator. Pitty so able and worthy a man was not chosen in place of Don the son of Simon Wiggle Waggle. Detective James White was a few days ago sentenced to the Penitentiary for thirteen months for being implicated in election frauds last October —iu Cin cinnati. According to this what would be the sentence of the scamps who defrauded Tilden out of the Presidency and cheat ed the whole nation out of its choice? The Louisiana rads have dropped Pinch back, colored, whom they once petted so much. A telegram of 17 from New Orleans says that the republican 6tatc central committee met at twelve noon to-day,and, in accordance with the resolution adopted at a previous meeting Mr. P. B. S. Pinchback was expelled from the organization by a vote of 22 to 4. THE DUKES OF PESSSYLVASIA The way the Camerons keep the thing in tbe family has called forth loud com plaints from leading republicans. All the Philadelphia republican journals ex cepting the Bulletin, denounce it as a disgrace. Forneys Press of 14, speaks thus: —We spoke the other day of Penn sylvaniadukedoms.but wehardly knew the weight of onr words. It is one thing to have a Republican aristocrat in the Senate, but it is another thing to see him transmitting his political power to bis posterity. The Honorable Simon Cam eron, Senator in the Congress of the Uni ted States from the Grand Duchy of Pennsylvania, proffers his resignation to the Legislature of llarrisburg, with the order that it shall elect his only son and heir, J. Donald Cameron, esquire, as his successor, under a tacit agreement that he, the atid J. D. C., shall transmit the same title to his posterity "to the last syllable of recorded time." Now we must not be understood as objecting to this long order upon the future. Tbe second commonwealth in the United States of America, and a< we believe, the first, has earned precisely the mag nificent distinction of being the only one of all the sovereign States of this Union which permits a single family to over ride it and underride itin every political relation, State, county, city, township and school district. Why, then, should not the father, with all his extraordina ry tapacities, culture, learning, oratory, purity, integrity and patriotism, appoint his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to the same magisterial command which he has enjoyed during balfacentury of time? His only son and heir deserves this exclusive distinc tion. Daniel Web6terhad sons, but with his stupendous power over Massachu setts he never ventured to dictate a suc cessor to himself in the Senate. Henry- Clay had sons, but he never dared to name one of them to the proud Ken tucky Legislature as his successor. John Adams and John Quincy Adams, both great Presidents, never attempted to terrorize over the Massachusetts I.egis lature in the same way. But we have fallen upon different times. The senior Senator of Pennsylvania, Simon Came ron, seventy-eight years old March 8 ) 1877, sends orders to the Legislature of the State of Pennsylvania—the State of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Mifflin, "William Hiester, Simon Snyder and Francis R. Shunk —that when they ac cept his resignation as a Senator in Con gress they must elect his only son and heir. Such is the history of the times." THE VOTE OS COS FIRM A TION. "Washington, March 11.—An authen tic the proceedings ofthe exe cutive session .yesterday for the confirma tion of tfie Cabirmt shows that there was little or no debate. The vote stood on Mr. Key's confirmation, 54 to 2, Senators Thurman and Eaton voting in the nega tive. On Mr. Evarts the vote was 48 to 2, the same Democrats voting in the neg ative, and Mr. Conkling not voting. On Mr. Schurz the vote stood 48 to 2 Messrs. Eaton and Chaffee voting against him and several Republicans, like Blaine, Patterson, ofSouth Carolina, and bpen. cer, declining to vote. Sitnon Cameron refused to vote for cither Key,Schurz or Evarts, but voted for the confirmation of the rest of the Cabinet, on whom there ■was no discussion.

In thia iasuo of the Reporter will bs found the foil text of the poor-house act. l,et every voter read it carefully <> he can vote intelligently upon the subject. The question of poor-house or no poor house w ill be submitted to a vote of the people of this county on the SI of April next. If a majority of vole# are cat for a poor-house, it will be established, otherwise not. We do not think that such an institu tion will tend to lessen the taxes ot the citinena of Pennavalley, on the other hand we think there are chance# of hav ing their poor tasea increased For Spring, BogS", Bellefonte, ami probably the majority of the flow nshipa on the other side of the county such an institu tion may be a partial relief from the heavy poor-taxes they are subject too,as the burden will he equalised, but this side the county fall heir|to what the other side may l>e relieved from. If the ciliiena of the other aide should generally vote "for" a poor-house, as a • believe they will, we think it will carry because they have a majority of o terw. PREP DOI'UL.i&S ALL RH.'H I Fred lVjuglasa the colored orator and politician, received front Fraudulent Hayes the appointment of Marshal of the District of Columbia, with a salary of f per year. The duties of this of ficer are about the same as those of * sheriff. Aud besides it is his duty to present and iutroduce visitors to the President. Some of the radical snobs do not like the idea of a nigger doing the introducing and grumbled al the appoint ment of Douglass, but bis appointment was confirmed by the Kenste. All the republicans voted for bint, some of llieai very much against their will, but they dared not oppose. Four democratic aeu ators, all southern uien—Messrs. liar land, Jones, of Florida, Morgan, of Ala bama and lieu Hill—voted to confirm, and a number of democrats would not vote sgsinst hint, and therefore relused to vote. Mr. Hill and Mr. Garland are said to have spoken in favor of the con firmation. Twoofthe most prominent democrats in Washington— Messrs. Columbus Alexander and Christie — promptly informed Mr. Douglass that they would become bta boudsmen, and iheoflicewas immediately accepted, to the chagrin, it is said, of aome members of the old Washington ring, who were ready to oblige Mr. lkjuglasa. CAM EPOS'S SOSG Simon is now singing hymns familiar to some of the Reporter readers. "Hallelujah 'tis Ik>n, I believe in tbe aon." After giving it as possible that the vote "for" a poor-house would likely carry on account of a unanimous vote on the other side of the county, we have looked into tbe subject a little closer, and we con sider it doubtful. Curtin township has no paupers, and will poll iu whole vote against. Walker baa few paupers and from that district there will be a largo vote against. There are a fow other townships on the other side, where ther* will be opposition, and this, with the al most united voted of Penn and Brush vallies, will no doubt defeat the mat ter. Thw republican organa throughout the state growl terribly at the latest Cames - game—the father handing the Sena torship down to the son. But what care the Camerons for that —the party is the slave of the clan, and on Tuesday it was don. The Senate adjourned on 17 without electing a President pro tern, as usual, to be prepared for tbe contingency ofthe Vice-President's death daring the re cess. Senator Ferry, who was last chosen for this position, has vacated it by bis absence from Washington, and even if he had returned before the fiua] adjournment to-day, a new election would have been necessary to fill it. Consequently, if President Hayes and Vice President Wheeler shoald both die before Congress is again convened, there would be neither a President pro tem pore of the Senate nor a Speaker of the House to succeed to the Presidency, and the office of President would remain for a time absolutely vacant. The thirtieth annual report of the di rectors oftbe Pennsylvania railroad com pany shows that for the year 1876 the net earnings of all the lines operated by the company amonnt to |12,f134.38.").78, an increase s* compared with tbe net earnings during tbe year 1875 of 11,411,- 189.56. and one which makes a total to credit of profit and brae of $1,510,984.49. Tbe gross earning* were $36,801,060.99. The net earnings have been sufficient not only to provide for rentals and in terest due to lines operated by the com pany and all the expenses of maintain ing the various organizations, butaisoto give the shareholders a dividend clear of state taxes of eight per cent, on the capita! stock, leaving a neat lialance of $i,433,703.46. The statistics of traffic and the additions and extensions made to the property of the company show a gratifying exhibit in many respects. New fines are now being controlled, the coal intereatsof the rompany are prov ing an increasing source of revenue, and the belief is expressed that the lines wi!l still further continue to yield satis factory results to the shareholders. The report alludes to the centennial traffic as follows: Ihiring the centennial season, bet ween the 10th of May and the 10th of Novem ber, 20,231 paasenger trains, with 127,296 cars, 2,343,499 pasrengers, arrived at the West Philadelphiantation,Thirty-second and Market st recta, and during the same period 22,372 trains, with 141,284 cars and 2,612,213 passengers, arrived at the centennial station, making a total of 42,- 603 trains, with 268,580 cars and 4,955,712 passengers. This large movement was accomplished without the slightest in jury to any passenger. During the peri od referred to 90 per cent, of this w hole amount of passenger traffic was handled between the hours of 7 and 11 o'clock in the morning and 4 and 7 o'clock iu the afternoon. The total amount of Iraggage received and delivered at the West Philadelphia, Centennial, Kensington and Market street ferry stations was 730,486 pieces and of this aggregate but 26 pieces were lost or mislain, the claims for which, as presented, amounted to the small sum of *1,906.90. It is believed that the volume of the passenger and freight traffic of the lines controlled ami operated by the Penn sylvania railroad company during the centennial season was largely in excess of that ever handled by any other com pany. Its careful and successful move ment reflects the highest credit upon the general manager and the officers; under his charge on tjip various divisions of the line. In conclusion President BcoU efatps that he believes "that many causes which have disturbed the country and depress ed its business interests, have now been so far removed that wu may expect the gradual restoration of confidence, and a moderate revival in all branches of trade." jfic rrmtcASs rrvri. t ixa Washington. March 16. Quite a num ber of Republican Senators, who are dis satisfied with there-ap|oinlnient ofmeu who have been in office for eight year*, have called a conference at the Senate Chamber to-morrow morning before the Senate meets to see what comae they shall pursue in regard to it. The new Senators who have had no voice in the patronage of their respective Stales, are very indignant on coming to Washing ton to find that the new Administration propoaea to make no changes, but to continue in office men who were ap ointed four and eight veura ago, and who for various reasons, they say , ought to give way now for others. , • 0 F.RIIA X Y M RXA < IXO RKA Xl F I vii A SAW raxjtcu rowTirn avioas TMX Masts or * IIKMAKD. London, March JO The Evening Standard publishes a *|>cci*l telegram from Pari*, in which its correspondent says- "Information of the gravest kind reaches me from a well informed source. 1 think it very doubtful that the Gov ernment will allow it to be transmitted by telegraph, and therefore send it hy post. The German Government have as sumed an attitude towards France which i# calculated to cause serious un easiness as to the maintenance of peace. The German Government have lieen consistent in their manifestation of ill will. First caiue their refusal to take part in the Exhibition of l*7r. neat, the attacks of the German press against Era nee, and now I understand that the t'abinct at Berlin have intimated to Erance that they regarded the construc tion of a second line <>f fortresses as a hostile step. This second lino of for tresses waa intended to create an nriifi i cial frontier linelwiween Germany and Er.inoe without which the latter country is open to invasion. This pretension on the part of the Berlin Cabinet is simnly monstrous. The French have as good a right to fortify Arras. Verdun, Brsancon and the Plateau of l-angre* as the Ger mans have to increase the fortification* of Mavence, otrwsburg aud Mets, and to fortify the Vosgea. The French Govs eminent have, 1 understand, complied, partially, at least, with the demands of Germany, and have undertakeu not to continue the fortifications of Arras, but it ia feared fresh concession* will lead to fresk exigencies sad that these will he carried so far that France will, in self defense, have to say no and bid the t>er mansdo their worst." 1S ORKISG-HES IS ARMS Scranton, Pa., March 14. —The unem ployed working-men met again to day ami proceeded lo tbe Council Chambers, where they renewed their demand* for bread or work.

HA YES A SI) THE SOUTH Washington, March 15.—1t is learned positively that it was not decided at the cabinet me ting la*l night nor to-day to remove the troop* from the state houses iu Columbia and New Orleans. Iu fact the status quo established bv tlie old ad ministration is to continue for the pres- ent, or until the new policy—whatever that may now prove to be—is decided on. There is to be no undue baste, oav the friends of Packard and Chamberlain who were willing to make wagers to-day that both of their government! would be recognised in thirty daya. Senator Gordon of Georgia, at the in- viution of Mr. Hayes, held a long con ference with him at the White House to night in reference to the southern ques tion. Sefiator I .amar and Messrs. Levy and Ellis, of Louisiana, were also pres ent, Senator Gordon said; "Mr. Hayes, if you will withdraw the troops from the state houses in South Carolina and Louisiana I will give vou any sort of guarantee that not only shall the peace not be dioturbed, but that Packard and Chamberlain may remain, in the state houses, with all the territo- ry they can command and with all the offices thev can induce parties to accept' 1 will further guarantee, if it be requir ed, thai neither Chamberlain nor Pack ard shall be proceeded against, even hy civil processes through the court*, to eject them from their positions; but they shall be left to mainta'n themselves tin disturbed so long as they can raise monev to pay their ex'ienses. Taxation would in my opinion settle the question very soon." ' To this Mr. Hayes made no specific re sponse. He said that there had been suggested various plans for a settlement of these difficulties, stich as a commis sion, a new election, the withdrawal, of the troops and the do-nothing poli- ! neutral tintahall have any rights which i a coal black ia bound to reaped.
