iiiJlTiilr *ha Centre Reporter. FRED. EURTLT „ EDITOR CKSTR* HALL, Pa., March 14 187^ On Tuesday Peter Herdic's stock in the Susquehanna boom company was sold for fIOS,(XKt. It is said that the stock is worth nearly $500,000 and that Herdic loses by the sale nearly f 1,000,- 000. Suppose that the bondholder does cry- OUt that the silver bill will depreciate hi# bonds—what has not depreciated * The poor man's lot, his horse, his cow, the former's grain, the laborer's w ages, Store g..ods, all have come down, and if the bondholder# property echoes down too, why he i# no better than the rest of us, and he should be willing to bear his Share of depreciation. The question before the Pilot Grove literary society for discussion at their next meeting* "Is Haves a Democrat or a Republican ""—Exchange. It is the opinion of the Reporter that if the jury decided that he was a demo crat all democrats would aay the jury was a swindle; if it brought in a verdict that lie was a republican, all republicans would say that the jury lied. The only satisfactory verdict that could be render ed, would be, that Hayes was a fraud. The passage of the silver bill does not seem thus far, to have the bad effects predicted by its opponents. The X. Y. Eveniug Post thinks the silver advoca tes can well boast that the markets, which are supposed to retlect -u a meas ure the public credit, have thus far worked as if silver remonetixation was something not merely ueuiral so far a> the public credit is concerned, but as if it was actually beneficial. The rush to Kansas this spring will be great. Besides the large delegation that left oar county last week, we see the following notices in our exchanges Five car loads of first-class emigrants, twenty-seven of whom were in charge of Mr. W. J. Fleming, and about one hundred and eighteeu chaperoned by R. J. Shapley, agent of the Atchison,To peka and Santa Fe Railroad, passed through Altooua on the second section of the Fast Line west on Tuesday even ing week before last. On the mail train previous came some thirty people, and these were transferred to the East Line on its arrival there. The emigrants are all bound for Kansas. Twenty-seven ear loads of passengers arrived in Topeka, Kansas, on Thursday on the Santa Fe railroad, mostly for set* ttement in the Arkansas valley. A large number also arrived on the Kansas Pa cific railroad. It is estimated that the State will receive 200,000 addition to its population this year, "Ole Virginny never tire"—even if she be bankrupt with only $lO3 on hand. The state auditor of the "Mother of Presidents," in a report on 5 says to the Joint Committee on Finance of the General Assembly that the financial con dition of the Commonwealth was truly deplorable. No money was being re ceived for taxes, all payments being made in coupons, which were at 30 per cent, discount. He says there is but $lO3 in the treasury, that no money could Le borrowed or collected, and that he can ran the htate Government not an hour longer. The asylums were behind, even on support account. He had no means of paying the per diem of members. There was $175,000 due to banks, and they refuse further loans. He said that a deadlock might be avoided if the Gen eral Assembly would provide that the license tax be paid in money only. Of the $1,000,000 balance of taxes now due for the last fiscal year, there was now ready nearly enough coupons to absorb it, and on July 1 next $600,000 more of them would mature. The committee meets again to-night to consider the sit uation. In the House various proposi tions were submitted looking to a solu tion of the public debt question, one of which was the appointment of a com mission consisting of the Governor and other State officials, to meet the State creditors, in order to adjust the debt. No action has yet been taken on any of the propositions. The Joint Committee on Finance, at a meeting this evening, adopted a report in accordance with the Auditor's sugges tion, recommending that the General Assembly pass a law providing for the collection of license taxes, including revenue from the Moffat register, in money, to the exclusion of coupons. Anderaon tbe convicted returning boarder, ia now in the penitentiary for his crime, and yet Hayesslili allows him to hold an important place in the New Orleans custom for which he draws his pay from the U. S. Treasury. A convicted felon in office is an outrage first known under tbe fraudulent Presi dent. Wells, tbe chief scoundrel of the returning board, also holds an office un der Hayes. His trial will come off in a short time and as he is the guiltiest in the whole pack, of course he w ill also go to the penitentiary. The disgrace of having felons in office, is attracting at tention in Washington. We see by a press despatch of 4 that Mr. Blackburn, of Kentucky, has a resolution of inqoiry in bis pocket which be means to bring before tbe House in some shape as soon as be can get aa opportunity. It is a resolution calling on the President to inform the House whether any person convicted of a penal offence is holding a federal position. It refers, of course to the case of Anderson in New Orleans. Mr. Blackburn is understood to hold that tbe Cincinnati platform is right where it declares, in section 5, that "un der the constitution the President and beads of departments are to make nom inations for office, the Senate is to ad vise and consent to appointments, and the House of Representatives is to ac cuse and prosecute faithless officers." He proposes to hold the President to his responsibility for retaining in an impor tant federal office a man who has been convicted of crime. Tbe retention of Wells and Anderson, both men of noto riously £bad character, in their places in tbeNew Orleans Custom House certain ly produces a disagreeable impression and is tbe subject of a good deal of con versation. It is remarked thai the plainest dictates of public decency and civil service reform would require the prompt removal of 3ien from federal of fice who, even if nftt openly convicted of crimes, are atill of notoriously bad character, because tbe federal service Should be in the hands of respectable men, in whom the communities among whoip they serve have confidence, and that influence in such cora muhities which only irreproachable lives and well established characters can give them. Mw. Francis R. Sbunk, widow of the late Gov. Sbunk, who died at "WiUiams port, Md., on Friday, wa buried at I fiaburg on 10th. 1' We have frequently adverted in the Reporter to the necessity for some change \n the patent laws. There is too much red tape about them ; they impose too much in the line of fees njon in ventors and need simplification in many respect*. We are pleased to observe that In the senate some important and long delayed reforms in the patent laws have been proposed. One of these limits the period within which damages may be recovered for infringement upon a patent to four years prior to the begins ning of a suit for their recovery, tins will prevent the accumulation of dama ges npon parties w ho arc ignorant of the violation of the patent laws. Another proposes to modify the rule of assessing damages for infringement so that per sons shall not be chargeable fora saving in the use of an invention un'c-s such saving shall have enabled them to ob tain an active prolit. l'rovisiou is also made for proceedings to repeal a patent under certain circumstances and rcstta.n inga patentee from asserting that an other has infringed his patent unless he •hall within a reasonable time bring suit to tewt the validity of his claim. Senator Hill in a debate in the Si n ate on Thursday, last, on the bill providing a "soft place" for Captain Hart, the defeated Republican candidate for State Treasurer, said he had recently been investigating the expenses of the State Government, and found that they had been increased from $ 1 .tmO.doO in IStfO to f1,857,0U0 in ISM'i, and to ♦d,6-'\- IS4 in 1876. He presented figures to show that there had been a large in crease in the Executive, Legislative and Judicial departments. From Washington comes the report that Conkling ia putting on the war paint and is preparing a speech to scalp the administration. Conkling once wanted to go for ihe presidential steal and prevent it, but be got weak in the knees just at the time he was wanted - we'll see whether he comes up to time with the speech he is now preparing in review of Haves' past year, of which rumor says that it is asserted in the gos sip about the Capitol that Senator Conk ling is preparing a speech arraigning the first year of the administration of Presi dent Hayes. Mr. Conklinghimself, with his usual stately reserve, had nothing of course to say about the rumor, but his friends when interrogated expressed no donbt that at no distant day the Repub lican Senator from New York would be heard in review of the President during the past twelve months, beginning with the formation of his Cabinet, esj-ecialiy of his extra-constitutional course in send ing a commission to Louisiana, his ap pointment of members of that commis sion to some of the highest otfices within his gift, and, following that his record upon the so-called reform in the civil service, as illustrated by some of the ex traordinary appointments which have been sent to the Senate. In a general srav it is expected to be a scathing re view of other things over which, they say, the administration has dawdled since it came into power. The adminis tration Republicans in the Senate do not now exceed six, and Mr. Conkling's supporters say that this number w ill be reduced to the two Massachusetts Sena tors before three months from now. If Mr.Conkling makes as fierce an open as he has a secret war on the administra tion there will probably be a new depart ure in other quarters. The last Auditor's Keport shows that this county paid about $7500 for m* bridges last year, this does not include the F.lk creek bridge which will cost about $llOO. These bridges were all passed upon by two grand juries and sanctioned, which left the commission ers no alternative but to go on and have the bridges erected. Heretofore this was an item of expense that was paid for by the townships in which bridges were erected, but a late law places the expense upon the county. This is an item over which the commissioners have no con trol; bridges must be had, and if people petition for them and the grand jury re ports in favor, the commissioners must see that the work is done. We believe the present board used all the economy in the matter consistent with a proper and safe construction of these bridges The items for bridges off, would show that the commissioners carried on the affairs of the county with several thou sand dollars less than in some.previous years. Prof. Ed. Wolf, I>. D., of the Thcol. Seminary, Gettysburg, on account of prostrate health, finds himself obliged to relinquish bis post and save what is left of a wrecked constitution, and seek relief wing off all the strain of mental labor to which he has been sub jected forsotoe years, and which is the cause of ruined sight and bad health. He has been urged to take a six months trip to Europe, and the members of his former charge in Baltimore, to whom he has ever been dear, have generously of fered to bear the expense of such a trip. Dr. Wolf has devoted h># whole life to the Lutheran church, and is now physi- rally broken down, as a result of that devotion, and it is but simple justice that such men of the church receive the fit ting recognition offered by his old friends in Baltimore, who urge him to this step and back it up with their brotherly offer. We understand the doctor has given way to the appeuls of his friends and former parishioners, and will start for Europe early in April. FROM WASHINGTON. Representative Mackev. of Pennsyl vania, made a report to the House in reference to the delay in the Pension Bureau in deciding on applications for pensions, of which much complaint has been made. It appears from the report that the number of applications for pen sions received since the close of the war is 337,836, and the number of cases on hand unanswered and undecided on the first of February, 1878, was 18,767. This large number of cases in arrears is the result of the reduction of the clerical force in tbe Hurgeon General's office, and the committee recommend the em ployment of forty additional clerks in that office for one year. The number of cases received during the year ending I June 30, 1876, was 20,406, and for the year ending June 30, 1877, was 20,428. This large number of applications for pensions, more than ten yenrs after the close of the war, is, Mr. Mac key says, one of the indications of the increasing poverty among the people. Venator Wallace's long-bond bill for the investment of savings was passed in the Senate after a long running discus-, sion, withoutadivision. Messrs. Wallace Blaine, Cockrell, Saulsbury, Eaton, Bayard and others made short speeches. Mr. Blaine's amendment, making the interest four per cent, instead of three and sigty-five-one-hundredths per cent, per annum, was agreed to. The bonds are to be of the denominations of |soandsloo, redeemable in coin fifty years from the date of issue, and are to be registered in tbe name of the purch aser. The interest at the rate of four per cent, is to be paid in legal-tender notes or coin, at the option of the govern ment. Mr. Wallace's bill meets with favor all over the country, and it will no doubt pass the house also and become a law. The New York Tribune, Hayes* organ, pronounces Hayes' administration a I Mure. The Pennsylvania railroad is the neat thing to the t'nited Stales government a* a big thing, with revenues and ex penditures that exceed those of the gen eral government up t within the period proceeding the laic war. The recent re port of President Scott shows that dur ing 1577 the Pennsylvania llailroad and its leased lines east and west of Pitts burgh, earned and collected over tlfty four millions of dollars, or to 1h precise F.M.I.V.I.T'JO The gross t \pemes of the company, including rentals, interest dividends, • t. mnfitad 129. showing net earnings amounting to over twenty millions of dollars, I his im mense revenue and the corresponding disbursement resulted front the carriage of over thirty -three millions of tons of freight, and within a fraction of twenty one millions ot passengers, just about one half the present population of the t uitcd States t'his coiiipri-es the Irsttic of tine# di rectly operated by the Pennsylvania Railroad, but in addition that corpora tion controls, either through the direct ownership of tock or otherwise, other railways the Allegheny Valley, the Northern Central, Cumberland Valley, etc, steamship lines, ami ferry compa nies, whose aggregate receipts in 1.-77 reached about ten millions of dollars f : i - .(ijusi. This would give a total of railroad and other transportation receipts controlled by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, amounting to over sixty-live millions of dollars during 1 >77.

Innumerable stories of the flight and capture of Jefferson Davis have been published both North and South by writers in both sections. Tutil now, however,Jetferson Davis' own aeeount has never been 111 priut. The Southern Historical .Society papers in its March issue will contain a full account of that memorable atfatr. written by Major W . IT. Walthall, tlie private WCWtHy of : Mr. Davis. It is know n itiat this article : was gotten up tinder the eye of Mr. Davis, and under lus sjH'cial supervision and it is therefore regarded as Davis' , own account of his lligtil and capture. The writer savs: On the evening of the second day w hicli was the I'th of May) preparations were made for departure immediately after nightfall, when Col. W. I*. Johnson I returned from a neighboring village with the report that I.*>U men were to at- tack the camp that night. Meantime the horse t Davis' already saddled, with his holsters and blankets in place, was in charge of his body servant, and he himself was lying clothed, booted and even spurred, when a little after day break the alarm was given that the camp was attacked. Springing to his feet and stepping out of his tent tie saw at once, from the manner in which the assail ants were deploying around the camp, that they were trained soldiers and not irregular banditti,and returning he so informed Mrs. Davis. As we have said, the President was already fully dressed. He hastily took have of his wife, who threw over his shoulders a water proof cloak 1 or w rapper, either as a protection from the dampness of the early morning or in the hope that it might serve as a partial disguise, or perhaps with woman's ready and rapid thoughtfulness of its possible use for both these purposes. Mrs. I'avis also directed a female ser vant, who was present, to takeanempty bucket und accompany him in the di rection of the spring, his horse, on the other side of the camp, being cut off from access by the interposition of the assailants. He had advanced only a few stejis from the door of the tent when lie was challenged by a mounted soldier who presented ins carbine and ordered him to "surrender." The answer was "1 never surrender to a band of thieves," The carbine was still presented, but the man restrained from tiring—it is but fair to presume from an unwillingness to kill his adversary—while the President continued to advance. This was not from desperation or foolhardv reckless ness, but of deliberate purpose Observing that the man, who w - ir 14 mounted, was so near as t> s ably Above him, he had liliiv ; . B sion of being hit, and behev. t . taking advantage ol tin- ex . I the shot, he might easily tip I. m fi- : . '■ the saddle and get posses-1 3 horse. The feasibility ol tin- t - not to l>e tested, however, i->i . . meat Mrs. Ihivis, seeing only In .i u i .. i j and animated by a character;*! n and he roic determination to share it, ran for " ward and threw her arms uooad Ins ! neck with some impassioned exclama , tion which probably none of the parties present would be able to repeat correct ly. The only hope of escape had de pended upon bringing the matter to an 11 immediate issue, and, seeing that this j was now lost, the President simply said, ' j "God's will he done," as he quietly turn ' cd hark and seated himself upon a fallen tree, near which a camp fire was burning. A letter written by Col. William Pres ton Johnson, late aid to Mr. Davis, to j the writer of the article, Major Walt hall, confirms this statement. A very crooked operation has just I come to light in the Auditor General's j offi -e at liarrishurg, by which two Kc | publican lawyers, Simon ton and Olmsted i have managed to rob the Slate Treasury jof some JI'J.IHXJ. Let the matter be in vestigated and bring to justice whoever it strikes, lie he Republican or Demo crat. • + . The cutting of freight rates to the east reached an almost unprecedently low figure.
