Elizabeth Siting* Bank, N. 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

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

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 <i< -iom • ftou.
Let Congress, for example, raise the
value of coin by declaring that a ton of
iron should hereafter consist of fifteen
i hundred weight instead of twenty hun
-1 dred weight. No one would pretend
1 that they could, as the intrinsic value of
gold and silver are liable to be governed
j by the basis which makes value depend
; upon the proportion which the supply
' bears to the demand. The attempt to
| make a single standard metalic medium
land that to he gold, because England
i has gold as her standard, therefore we
i should adopt her financial>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."

TIIE SWORD OF REVENGE.
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 ? My Fstksf published
h.v the pro, bets that 1 must .fl t I
What the prophets have wiit r n.u
oine <o t>ass, Gi>d has sail it.a; , uj
shall go to heaven through great tnhuia
tion and vou can't go to heaven w t out
beating the cross, or God's word would
not he true
6. 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. T.,
