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.

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.

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

Whilst during the existence of tho in

0 THK KAILKOAI) RIDK OF A lIUS
BAND TO SKK HIS DYING
WIFE.
Frcm the Kansas City Times.
One of the most remarkable trips on rec
. ord has just made oil the Atchinson, To
, peka and Santa Fe Railroad Kansas Cily
•to the Rocky Mountains A rich gentlo
• man named W. S. Dunn arrived at this
city from the Kast on Thursday morning,
- on his way to visit his tick wife at Mamtou
Springs. Col. On his arrival here ho ra
. ceiveii a telegram slating that his wife was
1 at the point of death, and that she could
, not live many hours The husband, who
. was a middle aged man. evidently a m#r
-1 chant, seemed to be much affected by tbe
1 news, and at once made inquiries for a
train. He offered a large sail. f money
1 for a special engine to run to I'uebla
I ahead of the regular train, but could not
t obtain one here. Ho took possession of
i the telegraph wires between here and To
- peka. the headquarters of the road, and
i offered for a special locomotiveto run
at special speed across the plains. His of
: for was accepted, and at 3 o'clock on
■ Thursday afternoon the devoted husband
started from Topekn on his break neck er
randoflovo and duty. Away went the
locomotive and car, with its solitary but
sorrowing passenger, over the prairies of
Knw valley, down into the valley of the
I Neosho at Emporia, then oft again over
tho high divide between the Neosho and
! Arkansas valley, which was reached be
fore night had closed in. Then, after tak-j
i ing wnter, the impatient husband and his
! tireless iron horse started up the great Ar-j
kansa* valley to tho base of the Rocky j
I Mountains.
He readied I'uebla, Co!., about 7J o'-
clock on Friday morning, and then, only
waiting for a locomotive on the Denver]
and Rio Grande (narrow guagef to ho got
ready, started up to Manilou. a distance of
titty miles, lie reached Ma niton at the!
| base of Pike's Peak, in time to see his dv-j
ing wife, and was well satisfied with the
result of his fast trip. The fastest lime
mado on the route was fifty miles per hour
!hc average time about thirty-fivo miles
It is the fastest tune ever made across the
plains from the Missouri river to the
Rocky Mountains.

Dr. Deems seems determined to make
this the Household Magazine of America.
Its name might imply to some minds that
it is sombre in character. Far from it I
there is nothing brighter in literature
Look at the elegantly illustrated leading
article on "A Curious City." and thn
read the thrilling and novel story by Rev.
Win. M. Raker, entitled "Tha Counter
feit Christ," and the absorbing story ot
"One Life Only " Hi-hop M. C. Tyeire
tv riles a sketch of the late Bishop Marvin
which is far above thecommon level, and
then there is a splendidly illustrated and
very full article on the late I'epe Pius IX.,
also a portrait and sketch ol the new Pope, I
Leo XIII. Pertinent to present interest t
is Dr Deem's editorial on "Hell," and a >
very unique picture is painted by him in I
an editorial called "Unchallenged Speak
