The Centre county bar. unanimously
requests Hon. Chas. A. Mayer to be a
candidate for re-election as President
Judgft or thia district. This is a volun
tary tribute of whieh Judge Mayer is
eminently worthy. He is one of the
foremost jurist* of this commonwealth,
and we believe ifthe opportunity were
presented, every citiren of the district
would put his name to a request like the

Mr. Former, the new district attorney,
has entered upon hi* office and discharg
ed his duties daring the late term of
court with great credit to himself which
isacknowledg*d"ven by those who vot
ed against hiui. We feel confident that he
will sustain hit', reputation throughout,
and fill the office to the eutire satisfac
tion of the people.
Mr. J. L. Fpangler, Mr. Fortnev s pre
decessor, retire* with honors, and ha*
gained popularity for himself by his
hearing and the ability he showed in
the discharge of his duties as district at
torney during the last three years. Jack
would have been re-nominated without
opposition,had he desired it, but kc de
clined to be a candidate for a second
term.
Hayes, Sherman, Matthews, and the
other visiting statesmen are ratsing a
terrible howl because Anderson, one of
the rascally returning boarders ha* been
convicted and these saints, who helped
plan the fraud and are now profiling
by it and in power, pronounce the pros-
ecution a great outrage. Well it is just
such an outrage as should go a little
farther and take in llayes, Sherman and
all of them.
The World makes a fitting comment
apon the howl that is going up from
Washington and says "it is not to his
credit that Secretary Sherman should ob
ject so earnestly as he does to any prose>
cution of Anderson and the other mem
bers of the Louisiana Returning Board,
lie was one of the visiting statesmen
who a year ago went to New Orleans to
see that the vote of Louisiana was count
ed for Hayes. surely constitu
tes no reason why he should so hotly ob
ject to having it declared by a jury in
Louisiana that the acts which he ap
proved as a witness were scandalously
unjust. It will not be easy for any ju
dicious friend of Mr. Sherman to explain
his outbreak recorded this morning. If
Secretary Sherman believes that there
was no counting out done in Louisiana,
or that counting out is laudable, he
oaght to have said so in so many words.
If he believes that the verdict of the
jury in Anderson's case clouds the title
of the Preaident, ke should have said so
in so many words. It is worse than idle
to speak of the trial of the members of
the Returning Board as "an unlooked
"for and terrible commentary on the ef
"forts of the Preaident to quiet the tur
"bulenee and violence of Louisiana
politics," which will "bring into con
tempt all efforts at peace and concilia
tion." If the men are innocent, actually
or technically, that fact may in due time
be made to appear. If they are guilty,
how can their conviction and condign
punishment bring into contempt all ef
forts at peace and conciliation T An ef
fort at peace and conciliation baaed
upon the perversion ofjostice and upon
guarantees of immunity to scoundrels
could hardly be brought into contempt.
It was not necessary for Messrs. Sher
man, Matthews, Hale, Garfield and
White to volunteer the opinion that the
"American people will redress any
justice" of which General Anderson may
be a victim. And why should they be
so swift to assure the General of this?
It seems to us to be a revival of the bus
iness of "visiting statesmanship" for
these eminent Republicans to concern
themselves in this remarkable manner
with the fate of the Louisiana Return
ing Board undar the laws of Louisiana ;
and the country will certainly not be
gratified if it should prove to be true, as
is this morning asserted in our Wash
ington despatches, that the Preaident has
imitated his Secretary of the Treasury
in this matter."
The following is the despatch sent by
the visiting statesmen to the caged re
turning boarder:
"WASHINGTON, D.CI, February 4,1878.
"To General Thomas C. Anderson, Srv
Orleans, La.:
"The undersigned fee 1 it due to you
under present circumstances, to assure
you of our unhesitating belief that in
the matter wherein you stand charged
you are altogether guiltless of any of
fense against law; that you are falsely
accused and maliciously persecuted; that
the proceeding against you, though in
the form of law, is without the substance
of justice; that we hereby tender our
earnest sympathies and express our
hope ibat the sense of justice and love
of peace of the people of Louisiana will
protect you, and not permit the best in
terests of the whole country to be dis
turbed by a revival of sectional animos
ities. In any event, we are confident,
that the American people will redress
any injustice of a hicn you may be made
the victim.

TtrK FT.RCTIOS OF A I'OI'R.
The death of Fope Fiu* IX was the
absorbing topic last week, and is follow
ed by the interest that will be felt in the
election of the next Fupe. No dondt all
the readers of the Keportci feci anxioua
to learn how this is brought about, and
for their enlightenment we give below
an article front the pen of Prof. Geo. F.
Fisher, P. 1>:
Til K lONi I.AA K.
The institution known astboi on, lave
originated m a stormy period of the Mid
dle Ages, when it was thought e\; >edi~
ent, tn repeated instanoes, to catch the
cardinals and shut them up. tn order
that thev might bo compelled to till
vacancy in the Fapaloffice t'letuent IV,
died in 12t>:l, at Yiterbo. l'he strife he
tween the French and the Italian fin
tiona among the carvliuals prevented the
choice of a successor, for two year* and
nine month*, the laigest interregnum
that has existed in the whole history
of the l'a)iai y. Purine this interval, the
citixen* ot Yiterbo, under the town cap
tain, Kanieri Gatti, not only imprisoned
the cardinals tn a palace, hut resorted
to the bold expedient of unroofing the
edifice and leaving their Eminence* to
the mercy of the element*, beside* di
minishing their supplies ot lood. It was
not, however, until a year after this ir
reverent proceeding that an election was
made. Gregory \., who was chosen,
was moved, in "conseoueuce of these dis
orders, at the General Council at Lyons,
held in 1274, to establish fixed regula
tions for the proceeding* in the ease of
the death of a Pope; and ho may he con
sidered the founder of the Conclave
111* rules have been in various particu
lars modified by his successors. 1 hey
are subject to modification at the will <>t
the Popes. At the same time, thev still
form the basi# of the ecclesiastical law
on the subject.
When the Fope dies, the cardinals
wait for ten days only for the absent
members of their body to appear. No
notificationa are sent out to alsen!evs.
They must couie, if they come at
all, of their own motion. At the end of
this time, the cardinals are to enter into
Conclave in the palace where the Fope
died. F'.aeh cardinal may now have two
attendants, who are lodged in two of the
three small sleeping apartments which,
together with another little room, con
stitute hi* "cell." The old restrictions
as to the supply of food are very much
mitigated ; and communication with per
sons ftom outside is not absolutely pro
hibited. except daring the time of actual
voting, though such communication is
not allowed to he private. No other
business is permitted tn the Conclave ex
cept what pertains to the election of a
Pope, unless measures have to lie taken
to defend his territory. Of course, thss
last proviso is now rendered obsolete. A
vote of two-thirds is requisite for an elec
tion. Cardinals under ecclesiastical cen
sure, or even under excommnnicatiou,
cannot be excluded from taking part in
the assembly. All bargains and prior
agreements are solemnly prohibited;and
the electors are bound by stringent oaths
to the observance of all the regulation.-
which the Church has prescribed for the
j>erformance of their function.
On the death of a Pope, the Cardinal
j Camerlingo (Chamberlain is informed
lofit at once. He proceeds to the room
where the dead Fope lies, and strikes
his forehead thrice with a little hammer
addressing him, at the same time, by his
original name. Receiving no reply, he
takes from his finger "the ring of the
fisherman," and breaks it. On the tenth
day, the Cardinals enter into Conclave
in the chambers which have been set
apart for this purpose in the Vatican
ifthe Pope dies in Home—and which,
in the interval,have been walled in, the
doors, and the windows with the excep
tion of a narrow space at the top for the
admission of light, being closed up w llh
brick and mortar. Within the Conclave
everything takes place by rule, under of
ficial supervision. The Pope may be
chosen in either of three way#. First,
he may be elected bv acclamation—also
called ■ Inspiration.'' or "Adoration"—
when all the cardinals, gathered at the
appointed time and place, with one voice j
designate some individual for this otfice. j
Such a mode of election is of very rare
occurrence. Secondly, he may be chosen
by direct vote. In this case, as was said
above, a candidate must have the suf
frages of two-thirds of those who partici
pate in the election. Each cardinal
must swear that his ballot is cast for the
one whom he deems most fit for the of
fice. The greatest precautions are taken
to prevent fraud. The ballot is secret;
the number and motto of each cardinal
i however, being recorded on the ballot,
which is folded and sealed so that this
part of it is not seen, unless it becomes
necessary to ascertain by whom the vote
was cast. In case no candidate receives
two-thirds of the ballots cast, any one
who has received a single vote may,
nevertheless, be chosen, If a sufficient
number who have voted for other per
sons "accede," to constitute the two
thirds. This is a choice by "accession,"
and is not uufrequeat. Thirdly, a Pope
may be chosen by compromise. • When
it is found that the requisite number of
votes cannot be obtained by any one—
—in other words, when there isa"dead
lock" in the Conclave —the business of
selection may be delegated to a commit
tee of the cardinals, by whose decision
the rest are bound to abide. In this way,
the impossibility of an agreement among
the electors, and the calamities of a long
interregnum have, in noted instances,
been avoided.
Formerly, each of the great Catholic
Powers have had the privilege of exer
cising the "veto" upon |ar.y obnoxious
candidate fortbe Papacy. But this could
be used but once during the procew of
filling a vacancy by the Conclave, and if
used at all, was necessarily exerted be
fore the decisive vote had been taken.
In the present relation of the Papacy to
the Catholic Powers, it is understood
that the exercise of the veto, which is
not considered by the Papal Canonists
as a right, will not be conceded.
When the choice has been made, a
window is opened, and the announce
ment of the result of the election is
made to the throng of people without.
The coronation of the Pope, who usual
ly receives the tiara from the oldest car
dinal deacon, takes place on the next
Sunday or next festal day after his elec
tion. If a deacon, he must first be ele
vated to tbe priesthood and the episco
pate. During the procession in St. Pe
ter's, as a part of the coronation ceremo
nies, a little tow is burned, to remind
the Pontiff elect of the transitoriness of
worldly glory. The enthronement fol
lows the coronation. The Pope assumes
another name on his induction into of
fice.
LEGISLATIVE.
We take the foHowing from the house
proceedings of 13.-
The consideration of the bill fixing
the compensation of county superintend
ents was resumed or second reading
and was passed after nearly an hour's
discussion. It provides that superin
tendents of all the counties except Phil
adelphia shall receive |2 for every
school and 75 cents for every square
mile in their county. If the amount do
not reach SBOO they shall receive that
amount. In every county having 100
schools and over the salary shall be at
least SI,OOO and not exceeding $2,000.
The local option bill was next consid
ered on second reading. Mr. Gebrsaid
that the bill had no more chance of pass
ing than he had of flying to heaven, and
he therefore moved to postpone it in
definitely to prevent the alleged further
waste of time in its diacuaeion.
The motion was defeated by a vote of
80 nays to 75 yeas.
The question being on the amend
ment of Mr. Long to exclude from the
provisions of the act native wines and
malt liquors.
Mr. Morgan submitted the following
amendment, which was disagreed to.
That all damages to personal character
or property caused by the sale or use of
intoxicating drinks in any county shall
be assessed upon and collected from any
or all persons engaged in the manufac
ture or sale of spirituous, vinous or
brewed liquors.
The amendment relating to native
wines and malt liquors was defeated by
34 yeas to 118 nays.
The next question wan an amendment
by Mr. Long requiring counties voting
against license to reimburse owners of
distilleries and breweries. The amend
ment was defeated by the following vote:
Yeas 43, nays 100.
The vote was then taken on the first
section of the bill, and it was defeated
and consequently the bill. The yeas and

Washington, February 10.—IheMiver
bill was passed at '> o clock this luorniug
by a vote of 4i to 111. lu general cmr
acter, the bill is not very diflerent Iroin
that recommended by the Committee on
finance. It provides for the coinage ol
silver dollars of Ilk'j grains, on the Uov

tlianf H.000.u00, iior more than t ■
000, worth of silver to be purchased

also provides fv>r an invitation to the
States of the Laitin I'nion to join tin

THE WAR.
Our European dispatches are of a
more pacific character than they,
have been for some time, llie fact thai
the English fleet has been withdrawn
to Mundanta Bay. a point forty mites
south of the Turkish capital, and that
Russian troops would not enter the city.
would go to show that some understand
lag has been arrived at between the
i Bear and the l.ion. The fact that a ton
| grew has been agreed to by the Towers,
and that it is arranged to assemble at
1 Baden-Baden, is a great step in the di-
I rection of peace. A London journal
' states that Russia desires this country to
j have a representative in the Congress,
■to which suggestion Kngland has not
