CENTRE HALF, Pa., Dtc. 13,1877.
Pennsylvania has struck ile. Some
months ago this State purchased a tract
of land near Warren, for the purpose of
erecting an asylum for the insane. The
price paid was *30,000. After the pur
chase indications of oil were dis overcd.
Permission was given to put down a
well. Oil was struck. Now there are a
number of paying wells on the tract,
and the State is receiving an annual
revenue from royalty and right to sink
wells of nearly as much as the price paid
for the land.
Similarly fortunate is a Lutheran con
gregation in Beaver county, which struck
oil on its church lot, and derives an in
come from the well that pays all church
expenses.
A heavy verdict has been obtained
against Connelly, one of the 1 weed ring.
At the suit on-ith inst., in New \ork,
his counsel said they would not burden
the people with a trial, and consented to
judgement for the rlaimed-over
f5,000,00, and the jury accordingly gave
a verdict for that r mount.
Nothing will scare a republican gath
ering, of any kink, so much as when a
resolution is offered endowing Hayes
policy. The effect is astonishing. Some
will look at each other with sheep eves ,
others will go out tomeet an engagement
with a friend; some will wantto go home
because they have a pain in thes'ouiach;
others will say "damn it," and others
will move to adjourn. Thcv scatter
worse than a crowd of hoys in mischief
when disturbed by a police officer. Poor
fellows, how we pitty them.
The republicans sickened by a dose of
carpet-baggers, Patterson and Conover
have pone and taken a still viler dose of
the siime Huff, Kellogg.
Newark, too, had a baby show, last
eek. the bawls were much more than
ihe cash hauls, and it broke uo in con
fusion, Priies to the amount of S4OO
had been advertised. The flight of
Manager Fred. It. Porter with $l4O of
Monday's receipts and the payment of
Porter's debts with s34s taken iu up to
Wednesday night, which left not a cent
for the babies, caused great dissatisfac
tion. The Rev. William K. Smith, the
recorder of bahies, said that the bills
amounted to $513,31, and the receipt* to
$348. The creditors had accepted a re
duction.
The absconding manager would make
a first class carpet-bagger, and if a vote
were needed in the senate to keep up
the republican majority, Edmonds and
Cotikling would be as ready to feat him
as they were to seat Kellogg.

Mexico is threatened with a new rev
olution —a thing not at all rare in that
country. Gen. Epitacio Huerta Com
manding General of Sonora under Diaz,
is ordered to Mexica, and all the Federal
garrisons in Sonora are concentrating in
Guaymas, the frontier towns being left
unprotected. Discomfort is general in
Siualoa, Sonora, and Lower California,
there having been a revulsion of opinion
in favor of Lerdo. Important news is
expected soon.
A coal train on the rampage is funnier
than an elephant on the rampage. Here
are the freaks of a coal train of the Read
ing road at Loet Creek station: It ran
off the track and badly wrecked twenty
run, tore down the telegraph lines, com
pletely demolished the passenger station
and did considerable damage to the
freight depot and storehouse. Several
persons were injured, but none serious-
Iv.
Conkling is now backed up by all the
republican congressmen of New York in
his war on Haves' nominations. Let's
see who goes under. In order to help
himoninhis fight against Hayes ap
pointments, Mr. Conkling has bad Gen.
Rurnude shoved off his committee and
Mr. Jones put in his place, who is bitter
against tbe President while Burnside
was inclined to favor his appointments.
Senator Patterson feels proud of his
recent speech, and thinks he is a hero
now whom tbe people are about
to lionise.
He says be has caused a large edition
of his speech to be printed in pamphlet
form, and that be has already re
ceived more than 300 letters asking for
copies of it He also reports that he
has been offered $2,000 to lecture twenty
times in Massachusetts and Yew-York
on the subject of the South. He thinks
that be shall accept.
If a presidential veto will deprive us
of the dollar of the daddies, why lets
take the next thing to it and have the
fips and levies of tbe old codgers in tbe
days when a grog could be had for 3cls
and four tobeys for a penny. That's
all.
Soon we'll know whether Conkling is
a bigger man than Hayes.
Fitzsimmons is a bigger man than old
Conkling.
Stanley Matthews is tbe only defender
Hayes has among the republican sena
tors. How lonesome.
A general raid was made one night last
week on liquor dealers, in New York,
who were known to have violated tbe
special police order of June 8. Nearly
300 arrests were made. That is what
we would call a wholesale liquor busi
ness.
Tbus far it is thua: Hayes proposes
and Conkling disposes.
Hayes didn't pay any attention to that
New York congressional petition not to
remove Conkling'a men but he went
right ahead and sent back his former
nominat'ons, which Cfinkling managed
not to have reported from his commit
tee.
The striking cigar makers of New
York mean business —they have started
a factory, and it was expected by this
time 500 hands would be at work, and
three other co-operative factories were
also to be started.
New York republicans stand by Conk
ling—and Ohio don't stand by Hayes
funny. Tbat'a about the way 8 to 7
leven works.
There will be three report* in the
Colorado case; one iu lavor of Patterson
tbe Democratic.claimant; one iu favor of
Beiford, tbe Republican claimant; and
A third in favor of sending the case back
for a new election. This last is tbe one
that trill probably be adopted. 1
In the present session the V. 8. Sen
ate is politically iiTiloJ as fallows .• Re
publicans, 88; lienioerats, 37, including
Mr. Davis, of Illinois, with the Utter of
whocn he has lately voted, thus giving
the Republicans two majority. Unless
Mr. Shawn, of Nevada, returns they will
have but one majority. In the Forty
sixth Congress the Democratic vote will
be increased by six Senators, who will
be elected in the place of S|>encer, Ihir
sey, Conover, and Patterson, the four re
maining carpet-baggers in this Senate
and Sargent and Matthews. This insures
a democratic majority of ten to start
with in the Senate of the next Congress
with a possible loss of one in Connecti
cut snd a gain of one or two in Pennsyl
vania and New York. In any event
there will be a clear Ih-mooratic majori
ty of nine. Among the other contingen
cies is the unseating of Kellcgg, which
would insure another lVinocrstic Sena
tor from Ixmisiaiia. The charges of
fraud in connection with bis election
made before the Committee on Flection*
hut which were not investigated, will in
dustime'be inquired into, and if sus
tained Kellogg will he unseated. The
Republicans, however, are in great doubt
about holding the organisation of the
Senate even this session. They intend
to reorganise all of tha committee lw
fore Foatis comes in, and thus avoid the
riak of pcweihls defeat by some change
of their majority of two. Thia is the
main reason why ha was not sworn in
to-dav.

The Tribune is the livest of all the
New-York papers in its4>ids for country

has put in an entirely uew invention, a
press of American manufacture that
prints on both sides and folds ready for
mailing this sixteen page paper at the
rate of 18,000 an hour. It announces a
noble list of special contributors for its

THE SILVER BILL CAS PASS
OVER A VETO.
The friends of the Stiver bill have
been canvassing both houses of Congress
and claim that the bill can be passed
over a veto by the President, if ne< eaa
rv. They claim that the bill has forty
three votes in the Senate and five to one
in the House. The split in the Senate
may be oo the question of free coin

Mr. Conkling'a committee has been

There are now four parties In the U. 8

Matters still look warlike on tbe Texas

A curiout case, involving- tbe rigbt of

baen decided In New York. In 1872
Helmbold went into bankruptcy, with,
among other atteU, the right to use bis
name in the manufacture of certain com
pound*. At the ta! A Ibert L. Helmbold
purchased this right, and then sought to
restrain H. T. from uiing his own name
in bit own business. The Court decided
in favcr of the bankrupt, holu nj that the
name belong, dio him to whom hit pa
rents gave it, and no law or court could
take it from him.

President Hayes opens with congratu
lating Congress on the blessings of
health, peace, ami abundant harvests,
and the encouraging prospects of an ear
ly return to prosperity.

lie a*ka til# southern people to enact

He argue* stoutly against the repeal
of the Resumption set. and a,v* that
"any wavering 111 purpose or una!ratli
ne** in methods, so flu from avoiding to
reducing the inconvenience Inseparable
from the transition from an irredeema
ble to a redeemable paper currency,
would onlv tend to increased and pro
longed disturbance in values, and unless
retrieved, must end In serious disorder,
dishonor and disaster in the financial
affair* of the government and of the peo
ple."
He argues favorably to a ailver cur
rency, but against redeeming ihe gov
ernment bonds in anything hot gold,
and says "A* bonds issued prior to 1873
were issued at a time when the gold doh
lar was the only coin in circulation, or
contemplated by either the government
or the holders of the bonds as ihc coin
in which they were to he paid, it is far
better to pay these bond* in that coin

With such a limitation lie believes the

lie next extols his C ivil Service poll
cy—that of making appointment* to of
fice purely on grounds of fitness, and re
movals only for unfitness— and asks
Congress to make an appropriation to
keep up the Civil Service Com mission
which was established hv Grant.
UP refers to our relation* with foreigu
power* as entirely peaceful, our govern
ment having maintained a policy of
strict m-utra'ity in r*#iect to the war be
tween Russia and Turkey, and thow
governments have both shown a disposi
tion to adhere strictly to all tlu-if treat\
obligations with the United States. Italy
ha* given this government notice of
desire to terminate ita present, treaty ;
i but is disposed to renew it with aiight
modifications. "Numerousones!tons in
regard to passports, naturalization and
exemption from military service have
continued to arise in cases of emigrants
from Germany who have returned to
their native country. The provisions of
the treaty of February 22, IStiS. however
have proved to be so ample and so ju
dicious that the Legation of the United
States at llerlin has been able to adjust
all elaimsarising under it. not onlv with
out detriment to the amicable relations
existing between the two governments,
hut, it is believed, without injury or in*
justice to su.v duly naturalized Ameri
can Vitijen." It is desirable to extend
the treaty to ail of the states of the Ger
man Empire.
Frances invitation to the United Sta
tes to participate in the Exposition next
year, is mentioned.
England and the United States are in
perfect accord in respect to the extradi
tion of criminals, although some ques
tions still remain to be settled in a new
treaty. A treaty for the protection of
trade marks, negotiated with England,
is submitted for the approval of the Sen
ate.
The new administration of Mexico,
with Gen. Diaz at its bead, has not yet
been officially recognized by this gov
ernment, because Mr. Have*desire* first
to see whether Diaz will be accepted by
the Mexican |>eople. Diaz has given as
surances that he can prevent unlawful
invaaions and lawlessness on the Texan
border, and Mr. llayes hopes that events
tnay prove these assurances to be well
founded. He hope* and believes peace
may be preserved; but nevertheless ex
presses soma apprehensions to the con
trary. Mexico, however, has regularly
paid the amounts due the United States
under the treaty of 1868.
Mr. Hayes expresses great concern
over the Cuban rebellion; but says
Spain baa promptly made reparation for
all unauthorized ads of its subordinates
against American citizens.
He vails attention to the far' that "The
government of the Samoan Islands has
sent an envoy, in the person of ita Sec
retary ofState, to invite the government
of the United States to recognize and
protect their independence, to establish
commercial relations with their jwople
and to aaaist them in their steps towards
regulated and responsible govern
ment.
Instructions from the Department of
State have recently been issued to the
various diplomatic and consular officers
abroad, asking tbein to devote attention
to tbe question of methods by which
trade between the respective countries
of their official residence and the United
States could be severed, and some of
the reports received are submitted.
He refers to the report of the Secreta
ry of the Treasury, as showing that the
revenues of the government (lunrig the
fiscal year ending .une 30, 1877, were
1269,000,580 62; the total expenditures
for the same |>eriod were
leaving a surplus revenneof $30.340.577,-
69. This has substantially supplied the
reauirements of the sinking fund for that
year. The estimated revenues of the
current fiscal year 1265,500.000, and the
estimated expenditures for the same
period are 1232,430,643 72. The estimat
cd revenues for the next fiscal year are
$269,250,000. Tbe revenues of the gov
ernment, compared with the previous
year, have largely decreased. This de
crease, amounting to the sum 0f518,481,-
452.54. was tnainlv in customs duties,
caused partly bv a large falling off of the
amount of imported dutiable goods and
partly by the general fall of prices in
the markets of production of such arti
cles as pay advalorem taxes. The total
exports during tbe last fiscal year, includ
ing coin, have been $658,037,457, and the
imports have been $492,997,540, leaving
a balance of trade in favor of the United
States amounting to the sum of $106,539,-
917, tbe beneficial effects of which
extend to all branches of business.
He recommends economy in appro
priations. He recommend* an amend
ment of the revenue laws, so as tb re
lieve the people of unnecessary burdens;
but favors a tariff of lOcents per pound
on tea aud 2 cents a pound on coffee.
All forms of internal taxation, he sug
gests, might be repealed, en ept that on
whisky, spirits, tobacco and beer. At
tention is also called to tbe neceaaity of
enacting more vigorous laws for the pro
tectiou of the revenue and for the pun
ishment of-frauds and smuggling, and
a revision of the custom laws is suggest
ed.
He congratulates Congress that the
Eublic credit has been preserved, and
'. 8. securities are regarded with high
favor abroad. The convention of tioiida
bearing larger interest into 4J and 4 per
• -enta, he alleges, has been thus far sue
'-earful, resulting in an aggregate aaving
in one year of interest to the amount of
53.775,000. He recommends that suita
ble provision he made to enable the peo
ple to easily convert their savings into
zovernmeut securities aa the heat mode
in which small savings may be well
secured and yield a moderate inter
est.
He suggests liberal legislation toward
restoring tbe American shipping inter
r-ata.
lie refers to the report of the Secreta
ry of War, and praise* the army, espec
ially that portion which fought and
finally captured the Nez Perces. lie
duo speaks of the efficiency of the
trmy in suppressing recent labor riot*.
He expresses the conviction that bis
recent order to Gen. Ord, direiting hint
to cross tbe borders into Mexico, if ne
cessary, for the etfectuul punishment of
Mexican outlaws, had the effect to check
-oiriewhat these depredations, and that
with a considerable increase of our fori e
upon that frontier, peace may be pre
erved and the lives and property of
our citizens in Texas fully protected.
He recommends a law giving authori
ty, in an emergency, to increase the
standing army above the maximum of
2ft,000, and approves all the suggestions
of the Secretaries of War and Navy.
In reference to the Post Office Depait
inent he says its total receipt* were
#27,513,585.20, the expenditure* #33,450,-
322.44.
Again referring to tbe Indiana, be
wya we are now at peace with all tbe
tribe* within our border*, and to pre
serve tlint pcacon iualand humane poli
cy toward thorn will ho the object of hi*
cam oat endeavor*. Ho allege# that
many, if not moat of our Indian warn
have had their origin in broken prouii
aea and acta of injuatlce upon our part,
and the advance of the Indiana in civlli
aation ha* been alow, liecauae the treat-;
inent they received did not permit it to,

lalicr. auppot ted their families for n nttm

He invite* Congress to take measure*
for the better protection of the govern

He apeak a of the abundant crop* of
the present year, a* show n by the re

He recommend* Congress to he liber

He a*k lor legislation looking to the
(hushing of the Wuidtington rnonumeiit

He favor* government aid, by literal

A TALK ABOUT PROVIDENCE
What it Providence ? It it the superin

preserving and governing of all thing*.
Particular providence relate* to every
event, however minute Special provi
dence relate* to ipeciai adaptation of clr
cum-lance* to tecurea moral de*ign. For
example, a bone run* away and kill* two
tuen in the wagon, while the third wcepe*
unhurt. We can not explain the way in
which tbi* one man escaped. Wo say it
i a royitery. It i* only a ipeciai provl
dence. Thu* Providence I* divided into
General, Particular and Special. Now
we often hear about the nivsteriou* provi

habit of crediting all our ill* to providence.
A man die* of gluttony, then people lay,
"itranga providence!" Here it a man

A teriou* looking toul cries, "mysterious

The ship of our life t* wrecked. We hear
the storm but do nt own that it i* often
our unskillful and indifferent navigation
that brought our ves*e! iy>'>n the rock.
We fold our hand* and cry out blindly,

Resignation and faith in trial* that cannot
be avoided, every one ought to have. But
we ought not lo hide our talent* in a nap

pleasure,—ought not bow to the g<d of
custom and unsanctified society, and then
•brink from the come<)Ucncci end my tbal
the result is none ot ours. There erelhose
who think they ero suffering for righteous
ness sake when the flour barrel Is empty,
or when the diets hat grown shabby and
mean. A little of self denial, a little lets
ot ignoble ease would fill the barrel and
bide nature with a ietpectablo dress Wo
eat unwholesome food, keep late hours, 1
break through every law of health ; and
when we pay the penally with shattered

THE BABY SHOW.
Jenny June discusses tho New York
baby show philosophically. Tina is
what she aays: "Eight hundred entrica 1
were obtained, and an average of six
hundred babteß have been ou exhibi
tion. The windowa are kept cloaed, and
the entire edifice is permeated with an
indeacriliable odor of soured milk and 1
baby clothing. Some of the children 1
are remarkably pretty,but the mothera t
are uaually exactly opposite. One lusty |
haby, with great black eyea, ia the son (
of a Chinaman and an Iriah mother,
Many classes are represented, but the
parents are usually poor and have made
great exertions to procure the decent '
outfit, and especially the sash and shoes 1
in which haby and mothpr make their j
appearance at the ahow. The variety ia y
enormous, lmt it in curious that all the •;
fat babies have thin mothers, and all the '
large fat women, small, puny infants."

gave an ingenious explanation at a Parisian (
dinner party of the American practice of j
carrying weapon* A French guest turn-;
ing to lngertoll, explained ; "Will the
Colonel explain the matter ? Why, Mot*;

with only a bodkin." Tbe Colonel roeeto
his feet and replied : "Tbe explanation j
it this : A Frenchman'* right* are to few

The .Yew York Tribune
FOR 1878.
The Tribune ha* long enioyed the dis
tinction ol the largt circule'ion among
the hel people During the yeer 1878 it
will >pend mom labor and money than
■ rer before to deserve that preeminence
it secured, snd mean* to retsin it. by be
coming the medium ot the best thought
snd the voice oflbe best conscience of the,
time, by keeping abreatl of the highest j
progress, favoring the freest discussion.;
tiearing all sides, appealing always to the
, best intelligence and the purest morality, j
and refusing to rater to the tastes of the;
vile or the predjudicea of the ignorant ,
The continued popular approval, and the
constantly widening political influence it j
!• njoys, are the best proofs that I is still
fai*bful to tbe-e early secrets of its
strength.
The Tribune earnestly strove for the!
election of President Haves, and it gives'
its heartiest support to the high purposes
• •fhis Administration. Doubtingthe wis
dom of methods sometimes taken by bis
subordinates, and criticising with entire
freedom his occasional mistakes, it still
thinks it the duty of the hour to hold to
gether and sirengbten the parly that
elected and alone sustain* him. It be
lieves the day of danger to the negro has
passed, and that of danger toihe Tax-Pay
er has come. The Solid South (at last in
full control of every Rebel and jiorder
Stale; sees its chance to get at the Nation
al Treasury, and get bark whet it lost by
the war. Only 4" Northern vote* are
needed. If Tammany Hall could furnish
New York, then Indiana, or Connecticut
and New-Jarsev. would suffice. Thedan-1
ger is noon us i and against it the old par
tv of Freedom, still the party of the
Churches and the School Houses, is the
only bulwark. It alone can keep the Sol
id South from grasping the Nations!
Government in 1880. It alone can tave
u, even now, from the threatened Demo i
rratlc abandonment of resumption and re
newed debasement of the currenrv. which
would heedlessly and most wickedly cheek
the revival of business, and treble the
rounlry'* burdens In behalf of the old
party, therefore, Jhe Tribune renew* the

This has been for a tbird af a century

ly the introduction of $30,000 wuilh of

. is enabled lo give subscribers what they
