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.

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."

POOR 1101 SR.
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."

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.

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."

whereupon the men became furmut and

around the building had swelled to Urge
proportion!. The Council Chambers
were invaded; the Councilmen became
alarmed and many left their seats. A
scene of confusion and excitement en
sued. A down men were making
threatening speeches at the same time,
and the. authorities anil police force
seemed unable to quail the disturbance,
Mayor McKune attempted to address the
crowd, but waa hooted at, ami amid
shouts of "Put him out!" from hundreds
!of throats, he retired. At tkis time a riot!
seemed imminent, but the Councilmen
withdrew, leaving the crowd in poeses
aion of the hall. They aoon diaperaed;
but assembled again in the evening, in
another }art of ttie city, when a better
fee'.ng seemed to prevail.
The numbera of the unemployed will
be largely increased to-morrow, owing
to tbe reduction of wsges, which seem*
to indicate that it is not work they want
so much as money, jiusincaa men sre
very despondent, and have called a meet
ing for Friday to devise means to allevi
ate the suffering.
There haa been no serious violence to
dsy, but a disturbance msy break out at
any moment. A feelir.g of great inse
curity prevails, owing to the inability of
the authorities to preserve peace. The
Delaware, Ixxckawanna and Western
Company and I'reaident Hloan are bit

the cause of >ll tbeir misfortunes.
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-
<T-
The senator replied that he was safs
fied that the easiest, shortest and least
embarrassing course to the administra
tion would be the constitutional course
which he understood to he marked out
in the inaugural, which was non-inter
vention or the withdrawal of the troops;
but even the do-nothing policy, the
leaving of the troops jwhere they are
would be better than a wrong solution,
or a commission, or a new election.
Mr. Hayes then expressed in earnest
terms his desire and purtHXte to bring
about some satisfactory solution an soon
as possible. He said that the difficulty
had lieen at white heatfor sixteen years
and it ought not to be considered any
great delay if it required sixteen days to
get through with it in a satisfactory way.
He expressed his belief thattheproblem
was not so hard to solve as a great many
persona supposed. The number of of
fices now vacant in the United Htates
(some six hundred), which must be itn
mediately filled by appointments, was
now occupying almost trie entire atten
tion of himself and the cabinet, but just
as soon as theae appointments were made
and tbe senate bad adjourned he would
take up this southern question aud solve
it
Senator I-amar in his remarks showed
the utter inability of Packard to sustain
himself as governor of Ixruisiana with
out direct, c-onstsnt and continued sup
port from Washington. He said that all
the elements in the state which compos
ed its intelligence, property and civiliza
tion were united in the support of the
Nicholls government.
Messrs. Ellis and Levy gave various
instances of forbearance on tbe part of
the people of Ixruisiana under the
severest trials, evidencing their ability to
command themselves in case the troops
should Ire withdrawn. They demonstrat
ed that Packard had neither the [rower
to create difficulty nor to keep the peace.
Senators Lamar and Gordon have no
hesitation in saying that they are satis
fied of the good" will and intentions of
Mr. Hayes.
The interview lasted nearly two hours
and was altogether agr.oL!^..—World

eases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Emacia
tion, General' Debility, and for Puri
fying the Blood.
This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable alteratives—StiUingia,Man
drakc,Yellow Dock —with the lodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most efficacious medicine vet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully
combined that the full alterative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is so mild as to be harmless even
to children, it is still so effectual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent physicians all over
the country, repose in it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and arc con
stantly being received, and as mauy
of theso cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence of
the superiority of this Sarsaparilla
over every other alterative medicine.
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no more than to assure the public
that the best qualities it lias ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
