J., haa gone up. tf a ma* kicks his wlfb to death, it only costa him 15 years in the peniten tiary, at least that's what Joseph Wall got in New York the other day. H ires must not be considered of much account there. We trote the following results of last week's local election: In Ph la.ie ph a the radical ring triumphed. Scranton had a victory for the labor party. Pitts burg had its republican councilman re duced. Williamsport and Allentown *ent democratic. Bellefonte sided with the democrats and greenback*!*, and also elected Charley Smith as Justice. Lock Haven went democratic. Mr. Watteraon of the Louisville Courier-Journal has this in reference to Mr. Hewitt's recent speech and card on the Presidential steal: In the end the complete history ofthe mismanagement ofthe l*emocratic cam paign after the selection of Mr. Tilden, will unfold itself. It will then lie found that Mr. Tilden himself was opposed to the Electoral Bill,and made his opposi tion sufficiently distinct to Mr. Hewitt; that Hewitt 'suppressed Mr. Tilden's telegrams and went ahead in spite of his master, and but that it was unsafe to swap horses in the middle of the stream Mr. Hewitt would have beeu superced ed fn the middle of January. Heaitt deniew this story ofWateraon. The Greenback Party held a national conventional Toledo last week. Some 24 States were represented, Sam Carey. Frank Hughe*. Brick Pomeroy, and others were there. The platform de nounces the limiting of legal tender and appose® the resumption of specie pay ment, and that the organization he known as the national party. It also de mands that congress shall provide mon ey adequate to the full employment of labor; that government bonds be taxed like other property and that a graduated income tax be levied that both national and state governments should establish bureau of labor. The Sionx war, according to official report, has cost $2,312,531,—number of persons killed. 16 officer* and 267 enlist ed men, and 2 officer* and 123 men wounded. How many red skins were killed tbe report does not *tale. A silver mine has recently been dis covered near Mveratown, Lebanon ccnnty. Now just think how the passage of the silver bill operates. The Co. Commissioner* hsve appoint ed Mr. J. T. Dunkle of Pbilipsburg, Mer cantile Appraiser, for this year. Mr. Dunkle was strongly recommended by his neighbors, is well qualified, and an active democrat. Cardinal M'Closkey reached Rome on Saturday, but too late to vote fbr a Pope. He was not soon enough for that return ing board. Ret. Board Anderson baa been refused a new trial. Wahlen convicted of the murder of Hoehner at Elm station, committed suicide in his cell by hanging. STARTLING FIGIXXS.— At a meeting of the American Social Science Association held in Boston recently, a paper upon municipal indebtedness was read by Ro bert P. Porter, of Chicago. It says that the total increase of debtofone hundred and thirty cities in ten year* is upwards of $420,000,000, or an annual increase of $42,000,000, It continues. "With these facts staring us in tbe face, it is not an exaggerated statement to say that tbe United States haye to day a debt of $1,000,000,000, half the sum of the national debt; and an annual ex penditure of $220,000,000 within $40,- 000,000 of the national expenses. The liabilities are increasing at tbe rate of $50,000,000 yearly, involving an addi tional charge of $300,000 upon the tax payers. Allowing for the great shrink ing in values and continent depression in business, we find that the property of lax pay era haa already been actually mortgaged for 15 per cent of its value, and as this debt has increased at tbe rate of $42,000,000 yearly, the mortgages will continue to increase at the rate of one per cent annually, and in another decade will amount to twenty-five per cent of the assessed valuation ofthe pro perty. The total State indebtedness of the United States is $369,170,976, while the municipal indebtedness of one hun dred and thirty cities is upward of $273.- 000,000 more than the entire Stale debt. Tbe vast bulk of municipal debts is lo cated in the Eastern States, and of State debts in the Southern States. Of muni cipal debts. New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maine carry probably abont $417,000,000, leav ing by far the lightest proportion to tbe Sreat Western States. Slate debta are istributedabout a follows: Western States, $2.80 per capita; Eastern States. $8 per capita, and Southern States $22 per capita. It is folly to propose s reme dy less radical than either absolute dis franchisement of tbe non-tsxpaying population, or tbe election of a second body of men by tbe taxpayers of a city to represent the property interest and curtail reckless disbursements of public funds." TIIE STORE ORDER SYSTEM. The manufacturers of charcoal iron in the counties of Blair, Center, Hunting don and Franklin have delegations at Harrisburg to urge tbe defeat of Scbnat terly's substitute for House bill No. 29, which forbids the issuing of store order* in payment of wages. The represents tivesof the charcoal furnaces allege that it will work injury to tbe employed, as they will not be able to obtain credit anywhere if not allowed to do so at tbe companies' stores. Returning board Anderson was sen tenced on Monday to two years hard labor in the penitentiary and costs. Now for Wells f The Senate Committee on Territories reported favorably upon the bill for the creation of the Territory of Lincoln, to be formed oat of portions of the Territo ries of Dakota and Wyoming, so as to in clude the filack Hills country. New York, February 22.—Captain Stratton walked across East river, yester day in bis patent suit. THE SILVER SCHEME SUCCEEDS. TBE SENATE AMENDMENTS CONCCEEED IN BY A VOTE OF NEARLY THREE TO OXE. Washington, February 21.—At the ex ?iration or the morning hour Mr. Bland Mo.) moved to proceed to buaineea on the speaker's table, and it waa so order ed. The silver bill having been reached, Mr. Springer (111.) raised the point of order that the bill must go to the com*, mittee of the whole. The speaker over ruled the point of order. Mr. Cox appealed from the decision, but was not sustained, the appeal being laidoa the table by a vote of 222 to 25. Mr. Stephens (Ga.) then moved to concur in the senate amendments. After a lengthy debate Mr. Hewitt (N. Y.) moved to lay the bill and amend ments on the table. The motion was re jected—yeas 72, nays 204. The main question having been ordered by 181 to , the house then proceeded to vote upon the senate amendments. Tbey were all agreed to by a vote of 203 yeas to 71 nays and the bill now goes to Mr. Hayes for hi# approval. THE SILVER Ql KSTIOX IS COS GREW Tbe Resumption act linn been, in one aspect, of some importance to the people —drawing their attention to the mone tary system of our Union. " V. >cv is the life blood of the Nation," and orrtainly there is no aubject ol more Importance than 'hat the people ahould be informed of panica and audden revnlaiona which occasionally occur in commercial an I manufacturing countriesaml whiih in volve thouaanda in bankruptcy and ruin. Important, however, as this knowledge ia, it has hitherto been very little attended to. bv the people, but us this (juration ia being discussed before Congreaa, they learn that a revulsion occurs, and by a audden change tu the quantity and value of money elicits every individual and ia always produc tive of the more pernicious result. Under our Constitution t'ongrea* has the power to coin money, and regulate the value thereof is true, if by value be intended only tbe denomination of such money, that ia. the rate at what any given quantity of gold and silver should be current within tbe l\ S Hut "value" absolutely stated, ia not a cor rect evpreaaion. To alter tbe positive intrinsic value of tbe precious metals, or make it other than it is by nature and by the relation which those metala bear to other commodities, is a power which t'ongress can not constitutionally exercise ;if value then be the offspring of congressional authority, there could be no doubt, but that paper, paste board or other material might be raiaed by tnat authority to a level with gold and ailver. The word "value" is an inaccu racy which may lead to a serious mis conception in s eaae where the whole controversy bears upon this single ques Uon, whether there 1•or be not an in herent, inextinguishable value in the precious uietals, estimated according to their relation to other commodities generally throughout the world, and in dependent of any arbitrary valuation which positive edicts or enactment can fix upon them. There are some mem bers in the present congress who claim the right to raise gold coin and lower silver coin—which they term "regulat ing the value thereof." By the act of 1791 the gold dollar contained 2l| grains of pure gold ; by the act of 1834 the gold dollar contained 23| of pure gold, a re duction of 6} per cent., and those clip pers of the gold dollar assert it to be a clear gain, inasmuch as 23 1-5 grains of gold aince 1534 is worth as much as 24| grains used to be before the passage of that act; now this assertion supposes that people when they give commodi ties for gold give them not for specific quanhtie* of metal, but for ystem! In | Great Britain the standard in money is ! now gold, but the purity of gold is not estimated by the weight commonly in use, but by an Abyssinian weight called a carat, the carats are subdivided into four parts called grains and these grains in quarters. Gold of the highest degree of fineness is said to be 24 carats fine; at present the standard of gold in Lug land is 22 carats of pure and two of alloy or 11 parts of fine gold to one part of alloy; the pound troy contains 5760 grains troy, of such standard gold divid ed into 444 grains each. The sovereign of the same fineness. It is not necessa ry on this occasion to enter into a de tailed account of the changes which have taken place in the currency of the different nations, it is sufficient for our purpose to state that when England found herself indebted in large sums of gold and silver, which she could not conveniently pay, she resorted to the expedient of reducing and debasing her coins, retaining still the same ifrnomina* tion. The pound sterling was originally a pound sterling silver, which was cut into 20 pieces called shillings, and was for this reason that 20 shillings made a ponnd. By successive reductions in the weight of the shilling a pound of silver is now coined into ti6 shillings. But this is not all—of these shillings 21 are a legal tender for a debt of one pound ster ling; the Bank of England, which is her Treasury, Exchequer, and fiscal agent, beiDg unable to redeem her notes in gold and silver, in 1797 suspended and refused payment of her notes in coin, and this suspension, or restriction as they called it, continued until 1819, a period of 22 years, yet she went on issu ing her irredeemable notes was protected by the King and Parliament of England ; laws were passed justifying the Bank making the bank-note a legal tender in payment of all debts; making it a penal offense to export gold and silver and bullion, also for selling guineas for more than their nominal value in hank notes, and on the resumption of specie pay ments, their gold became the standard of value for the Kingdom. If we had time, we would show the financier ing of old England which the friends of the demonetizing of our silver coins wish us to follow. If they would advise us to adopt tbe financial policy of Frame there might be some honesty in it. What have we to do with the standard of Eng land? We have our own American standard of two-fold, gold and silver, and a legal tender that has been recog nized for 80 years. Then let the openly censured Resumption act be repealed without delay, silver coin restored to its constituent standard without restriction, diminution or abasement, and keep it in actual circulation—the basis of business restored, and confidence will return and business spring up into life again. THE GREAT FAMINE IN CHINA. London, Tuesday, Feb. 19, IS7B. In an editorial article The Times says : "It is stated on authority, which cannot be questioned, that 70,000,000 of human beings are now starving in the famine stricken provinces ofNorth China. The imagination fails to cope with so gigan tic a calamity. We cannot doubt that if the' Chinese Lave found their way to America from the comparatively pros perous eastern provinces in thousands that they will pour forth in myriads from the famine-strickeii distrit ts of the North as soon as the way is opened to them. The Chinese difficulty mnv speedily becomes greater menace to the future of the United States than the ne- j gro difficulty was at its worst; for the negro immigration was never volunta ry and ceased with the obolition of the slave trade, while, if the Chinese tide once begins to flow in force, it to see where and when it will stop."

A dispatch from Home states that when Cardinal Pecci had obtained iorty six votes, Cardinal Eranchi withdrew from competition and prevailed on Car dinal Schwartzeuburg to concentrate his votes on Peoci. Cardinal Bilio oulv oh lamed a few votes and Cardinal Simconi two. Cardinal Eranchi will probably be appointed Pontifical Secre tary of State. THE CZAR GETTING IMPATIEN f.

Revenue according to modern usage, it a malicious, or spiteful infliction of pain or injury, contrary to tbe laws of iuitice and Christianity. in return for an injury or offente. Revenge it dictated by pas tion ; vengeance by justice Jesus said. Put up aeain thy sword unto hi- place, for all they that take the sword shall per ish with the sword. Math. 2d:52. The-e words of our L<>rd suggest hit argumentt against using the -w.>r.l of Hevrnge. Re venge i wrong—it it as had as inurder Therefore Christ says t> Peter. Put thy sword back again into the *t abbard. The Reasons are tba following : 1. You have no commission to defend me. God has invested the civil mag :trate with the sword and if he use it. so he it Self defense is allowable when there is no way ot escape—Black store. Rut this was another case The government had sent these men to take Christ and no private person has a right to resist lawful authority, civil or ecclesiastical Peter had no orders to take his sword, and prob ably meant only to gratify his revenge 2 Christ did not need P<-ter s detense Says be, Thinkest thou that I can n>t now pray to mv father, and he shall pres ent y give me more than twelve legions of angels ? Math 20.63. (72000.) One angel slew 86.000 of the Assyrian army in one n-ght What would WJO men be against 72,000 angeis? But the time had come that Christ must suffer, be forsaken of God and men for a lime, and therefore he wished no defence. A man should not seek revenge if he has no defence on ■•arth God's angels will encamp around him and defend him. Christ alleges next. 3. The purpose of his heavenly lather. Chri-t says Shall I not drink the cup my Father gave me to drink My Father determined in eternity that 1 should Mitfer. I will nut endeavor to change the purpo-e f God. God gives you, reader. > our cup ef suffering, not man nor the Devi . >hould you not drink it? God i. % ur Father arid will r. mam v-o.r 1" whether he ki-s rr scourge c ..u j . pt se must he fulfilled, Ps 119 1... ii r is life unit death in thi- cup 4 The prediction-of ■fei - • bet other argument adduced by Cht. the use of this sword How then shall the Scrij tu•. ed ?

God's Justice. It must be; the hu man race cannot be rodeemcd without an •Uonement. Justice must be satisfied. What mu'l he, 1 will submit to. There is a mutt Tbe r>|d Proverb is. Must is for the King. There is another must. You will end it in Acts, 1122. Must enter the kingdom of God through much tabula tion Wo a'e often obliged to say as Asaph said : I must suffur this 0 Tho sixth argument of Christ against Revenge u kindness. He touched the ear of Malchus and healed it. Christ would say to Peter, This is the way to gain an enemy and not by revenge. Hence Paul says : If thine enemy hunger, fevd him ; if he thirst, give him drink : for in so doing thou stall heap coals of tire upon his head. Be not overcome of evil, but over come evil with good. This passage from th*- Romans applies to private pcr -ons and not to the magistrate You can't bate a man who is persistently kind to hoi Jacobavercame K-au with kindness. When Esau saw the presents, etc , of Ju cob. his strong heart did relent and he fell on Jacob's neck arid kisscd him Indeed the interior animals love those who are kind to them Reflect ions. 1. Revenge i* a great sin. It is a com mon sin It is a common sin among Church members. Not unfrequently, if a minister ol Christ say* something that does not suit one of his mem hers, the next thing is to cut down subscription—this i revenge. Tn a thousand instances Rnd < ways one Church member seek* revenge on the other. Think of Christ's teaching and example both. We should not seek revenge- We < should not resist lawful authority, in de fence of Christ. I 5. We soould seek ledress in the way I of law and order and never take the law, < civil or ecclesiastical into our own hands, i 4. And should we fail to get satisfaction ' in tbe way of law and order, let us think I and submit and say, Maybe, I am wrong. I remembering thai they who take the j J sword shall perish by it. J.
