Vk > Centra Reporter. FHKD.XUITZ KPITOR. Ckn'trk Hall, Ta., Jan. 10, 1&78- The state penitentiary is full to over flowing. Suppose there be another such institution erected centrally, say at Ttellofonte, it would Ire so handy for tit in this part of the statt. Tha coal operators and shippers, last tfeelt, at their meeting in Philadelphia foiled to effect a combination to monopo lise. Tho Lehigh Valley voted against the proposed percentages, and a unani mous vote was necessary. The Rellefontc Republican appeared last week with a new head and dressed in new type, making it look quite hand some. We suppose it indicates financial prosperity of the paper, and are pleas ed to know it gels along well enough to make the improvement. The sumo issue fives the name of John 11. Love as associate editor, who will show him self competent to flop the "bloody shirt to which school of republican politicians he belong*. The Failures for the Year in New York city were very heavy—in all eight hundred and aeventy-fonr, with liabili ties amounting to nearly fifty-two mil lion dollar* and assets about twenty-one millions. Manufacturers, numbering forty-four, head the list, followed by thirty-five hankers and brokers, who went down under the heavy load of more than six millions. One of the fruits of Giantism is com piled by the New York pub belies a list of all defalcations of |o,ooo and upwards in the United States, from which it appears the money stolen dur ing the past four years—beginning at a period just prior to the panic of 1*73 by reason of defalcations, embezzle ments, anvl breaches of trust on the part of city and county officials, hank officers, executors of estates, Ac., foots up at over $30,000,000. An insurance president has come to grief. A few days ago in New York, T ti. I-arnbert, ex-president of the Ameri can Popular life insurance company, convicted of swearing to a false annual report, was arraigned in the conrt of oyer and terminer, lie spoke for about two hours and a-half, claiming that he was hounded down by the press and that the witnessed against him were in terested, and he asked the lightest sentence possible. Brady said the prisoner deserved to bo punished, and the court without sympathy or regret sentenced him to five years iu the state prison. There are quite a number of like ras cals who are still unwhipped, and above is the kind of example that should be made of them. It has been too much the custom to let the big thieves down easy and make penitentiary colonists of the minor criminals. England would like to have a hand in negotiating peace between Russia and Turkey, so that she may dictate stipula* tions, and is willing to be a mediator. Russia says she will treat with Turkey direct, and on application of that power. That is, Russia means that England shall mind her own business. England has a peace party and a war with-Russia party. Gambetta has spoken with moderation and wisdom of the submission of Mac- Mahon. The following are reported as his utterances: How should I bo dissatisfied when I see so grievous a crisis so happily ended. It is the first victory gained by the legis lative power over the proceedings of per sonal power, and that without any revo lution, riot or disturbance. That is a new event in our history, and all due to Democratic institutions. If you are not satisfied you are very hard to please. We must be prudent, moderate, con dilatory. The Republican partv must be in power when the universal Exhi bition is opened; it must govern when j we have to proceed to the elections of the Municipal Councils and to the re newal of the Senate in 1879. After these two great acts are over, the; Republic will no longer have anvtbing to fear from its adversaries; it will be definitely found ed. The Protestant clergymen of Philadel phia who are organized into a Ministe rial Union, have unanimously resolved that the orthodox hell does exist. Now let Beecher and some of the other New York preachers subside until they get there when they will know all about it. The women suffrage gals have been refused the U. S. Senate chamber for speeches of the representatives of the women suffragists. There's another big Wrong—bow the sisters will rave and scold at the cruel men in some other hall about it. Petticoats ain't trump af ter all yet. Get away, sis. Hayes has been interviewed during the holidays and declarea he will ad here to his policy and not yield toConk ling and hia tribe. The republicans are now hatching a move to investigate bis title. They won't have much trouble to find that a fraud, and will not need go far from home to do it. What a judge ment the republican party has brought upon itself by the presidential steal! There is a statement said to be well founded that Patterson intends to re sign the senatorsbip and that Cameron has advised bim not to return to South Carolina, but resume citizenship in Pennsylvania, and he would use his in fluencc to have Patterson elected to con gress in 1880. Simon and John J. al ways w ere thick as thieves and partners in dark ways, and will cling to each other through evil amlgood report. W COST SEW The Aldermanic Committee, of New- York which was appointed in July to in vestigate the ring frauds, bavingconclud ed its labors, have made a long report to the Board of Aldermen, summing up the result The committee make it appear that between January 1,1868, and July 1 1871 the enormous sum of was fraudulently diverted from the City treasury by the corrupt practices of he ring and that this does not include the amount stolen by the ringimlthe Board of Supervisors between 1860 and 1866 It is safe to assume, says the report that from 1860 until July 1871, the people of this city havebecn robbed to the exten of $50,000,000 at least. The amount re covered by all suits amounts to only 1,- 119,525, and when legal expenses are e ducted there is left as a total net amoun recovered only $876,241, or lesst lan one fiftieth of the amount stolen. Jacob Bunn, of Sprinpfield, 111., failed, having the snug little liability of SBOO,- 000. Dennis, another Molly, hafl heeu sen tenced to death at Pottsville. Tho Pottaville bank iailed-on 7th. , The Philadelphia Times lias had seventeen libel eases in the three years of its existence, and has come out of all of them with a verdict in its favor. The prosecutor* of the Times wore men who had betrayed important trusts a* public servants, and as an independent journal —and all journals should be independ ent— it atoodupon the watclitower, do tnanding, "Who rocs there," without fear, favor or affection. When it found the password came short of "honesty in the approaching form, it charged upon him, exposed his attempts to prey upon the public as well as held up to the public ga.o the wrongs already commit* ted by the pilgrim politician. The parties who sued the Times for libel were men at the public crib who were stealing fodder from al! the other racks, and they took it as the height of impudence as well as a personal wrong that the Times should exjoso them as defaulter*, thieves, and plunderers. The Time* has taken high ground in this iSatter, and descries the thanks of the people of Philadelphia and outside for lauciog the ulcere upon the body politic, a duty which the press of Philadelphia has alwnvs shirked be cause it lacked that independence which every journal should possess. STJ TE I EOISI Mil The state legislature convened at liar risburg, on Ist. The old either* were pretty much all re-elected. Mr. Newmver, in the senate, wtlcren a resolution amending the t'onstitution, reducing the number of senators to Jo and representatives to 100. This should pass-since the number has been doub led the caliber of the member* i> about one-fourth what it used to be, and then it was light enough. The bonier counties will be knocking at the door demanding pay for damage* by the rebel raid. Pittsburg will also attempt to saddle the damages of the July riots upon the state. I.uckoy will she be ifsuccessful. Local option has again api eared in the legislature also compulß-iry education. The senate and house are in a dead lock. The senate resolved that all busi ness should commence as if it were new and the house resolved that business should go on where it left off at the ad journment last winter. GERM.I .V }"> EASIERS FOLIC 1 Herald Berlin correspondent: Ever since the l>eginning of the Eastern com plications I have maintained that Bis marck, not caring a fig for them, is only ruled by the one thought of preventing Vrance from forming any alliance in her war of revenge against Germane. By founding the "Frvi Lair*-/ Bund.' the chief object of which aims at settling all important international question! in ac cordance with previous agreements be tween the contracting parties, Bi.-marek succeeded in isolating France and bind ing Russia and Austro-Hungary by strong ties of friendship to his country. I do not go so far as to aver that Bis marck intentionally thrust Russia into the war. but I cannot help admitting that he must inwardly chuckle at seeing the Czar, who liked to pose himself as the arbiter of Europe, entangled in a con flict so ruinous to Russia's power and credit. Nothing could have happened more advantageous to Germany than the difficulty experienced by the Czar in overcoming his adversary, rightlv or wrongly considered the weakest among the great European Rowers. No victory ever so glorious can remove from Russia's fame the tarnish of having been for months held at bav by the Ottoman's, at first so despised by them. THE TIIKEX EMPERORS' ALLIANCE. However the war may end, we may be sure Russia will bo so crippled that she will long hesitate before again unsheath ing her sword. As all the hopes of France for crushing her German foe were centred on an alliance with Russia one easily perceives what a great profit this country has gained by the Turco- Ruseian campaign, not only humbling the Porte but weakening Russia and rendering her unfit for new warlike en terprises during the next decade at least. On a conclusion of peace, for which preparations are undoubtedly already making, Bismarck and Andrassy will qnietly step in between the contestants and name the terms on which they will admit a reconstruction of the political state of affairs on the Balkan Peninsula. Without being averse to Russia com pensating herself to some degree for enormous losses sustained, there two statesmen will, nevertheless, not sanc tion any territorial aggrandizement of their good and faithful ally in European Turkey. If the Czar sWould therefore insist on acquiring new territories he will have to turn to Asia, where any ex tension ofhis empire, far from strength ening its power, involves great expendi tures and pecuniary sacrifices, owing to these countries not being in a position to raise the means necessary for their self-administration. The late Czar Nich olas, the father of the pre-ent Russian Emperor, who in 1849, was chiefly in strumental in crushing the Hungarian revolt, only a few years later had thes.nl opportunity of complaining of Austria's ingratitude in making common cause with his enemies during the Crimean war. It appears as if a like feeling will not be spared his son. OBT.iISISG MI YES IS Pel Some one looking over some old Virginia papers in one of the Culpepper families found the following document which the fair readers of the Reporter can read at the sewing circle: "A shipment of English fair ones is being made in due order and well con ditioned by an English merchant, and he thus advises his consignees: "August 12th, 1821, LONDON. "We send you in the 6bip one widow and eleven maids for wives for the peo ple of Virginia. There has been espe cial care had in the choice of them, for there hath not any of them been re ceived but upon good commendation. In case they cannot be presently mar ried, we desire that they be put with several householders that have wives till they can be provided with husbands. There are nearly fifty more of the sanio class that are shortly to come, and are sent by our Most Honorable Lord and Treasurer, the Earl of Southampton, and certain worthy gentlemen who, taking into consideration that the plantation can never flourish till females and fami lies be planted, and the respect of wives and children for their people on the soil therefore have given this fair beginning for the reimbursement of whose charges it is ordered that every man that mar ries therein gives 120 pounds of the best leaf tobacco for each of them. Though we are desirous that the marriages be free, according to the law of nature, yet we would not have these maids deceiv ed and married to servants, but only to auch freemen or tenants aa have means to maintain them. We pray you, there-1 fore, to be fathers to them in this busi ness, not enforcing them to marry against their wills." Here follows the names whose bearers both in England and Virginia at the present day would be rather amazed to know that their an cestors were shippers of this class of live Btook. I may, on some future occa sion, give an airing to a few other docu ments of this old Virginia style, and be fore long I may be enabled to draw some pictures of the "first families" of Ohio as painted by the early residents, for their interested relatives rn England. It is pleasant to know that some people have had fathers and mothers as well as grandfathers and grandmothers, though , they have no dollars." THE SOUTH CA ROUS A SENA TORS. The scheme to unseat Senator Butler was decided upon Friday before the holiday adjournment, at a meeting held at the residence of a Southern Republi can Senator. The speakers at the meet ing were Senators Edmunds, Cameron of Wisconsin, Hoar and Dawes; it was de cided that the contest would be made on the ground that the Legislature which i elected Butler was not legal and the next thing in order was to devise away 'of changing tho vote by which Butler wui admitted to the Senate, A lever by ! which Patterson's vote could he secured issai.l to have been found in the report of the Legislature of South t itrolinu. charging Patterson with bribery, but which lhitlor declined to present in the Senate, and which has been smothered in the Legislative Committee on Kedi r al Relations at I'olumbia. Senators Chaffee, Jones of Nevada, Cameron of Pennsylvania, Coiiovet ami Rollins pro tested that tins looked more like revenge than an lionorablejcourse, and thov with drew from the meeting, finally the whole matter was referred to Senator Cameron of Wisconsin, who is trying to get the report. It he succeed*, terms can he dictated to Patterson, who can be compelled to chose between voting to unseat Puttier or allow the teport to he introduced and referred t>> the Judicial) Committee, and brought hack into the Senate bv Mr. Kdtmtnds, aceompanied by a resolution of expulsion Rcpubli cans are of opinion that such a resolu tion, based upon such a report from the Legislature, w nld cumnmnd every IVmocratic vote in the Senate. Perhaps nothing in science is uu>re mysterious than the cause of that sim ple phenomenon that when a bar of steel i* magnetized it bss acquired a tendency to assume a definite relation to our earth. 1 ike a great magnet, the earth acts upon a magnetized needle with nearly a directive torce. At the present moment a mariner's compass needle points 111 a direction of about twenty-one and a half degrees west .•( true north, termed a declination to that extent, and at the same ttaie dips .!<>* n wards, making an angle of about sixty eight degrees with the horizon. It is declination and dtp vary with time and place. But theio uic other changes which the magnet experiences w hen kept suspended in the same place, viz. the secular change, during a great many vears, the annual variation, the daily variation, and a changedue to the moon. In addition to these are those curious ami unaccountable changes, termed magnetic disturbances, or storms. At mospheric storms,even the greatest, are only local phenomena; but magnetic storms arc ccsiuical, and occur almost at the same moment all over the world. Philosophic investigation shows that these magnetic disturbances are connect ed with the sun, inasmuch as they obey a daily law, and are moreover independ ent of the light of the sun. they have a vet stilf more mysterious relation with our own luminary. M. Schwube, hav ing for nearly forty years watched and recorded the spots on its disc, saw that these spots exhibit a maximum ami minimum nearlv every ten years, and General Sabine having discovered that magnetic disturbances have also a ten years' twriod, fortunately though of com paring the two periods, and found that ii-ev were precisely the same, having the same years of maxftnum and mini mum. It has also been proved that the magnetic disturbances are accompanied by auroras and ul-o by electric earth currents, in soune cases interfering with the telegraph wires, both having a ten vearly period. The nature of the bond by which these phenomena are allied is still a profound m\ sterv. DID EES. RVTLER 27.1.YG TIIE WROSG MAS, J'rom theGulve-ton News. l'rof. 11. \V.
