j v ho Ctntrt Reporter. FRED. KURTZ EDITOR CKN'TRR HALL, Pa., March 21 1878 It coats abont $2500 to keep the legis lature running, and the average of its wotk wronld not bring scta per day at anctlon In the flnaheat times. An earthquake had the impudence to shake tip tome of the people of Ken ttlekry, on the morning of the 11. The report from Columbus. Kv., states that bedsteades wera rolled across the floor* <tf rooms and bureaus and presses were thrown down and broken. A portion of the Mississippi River bank caved in near the town, leaving one house hang ing over the bluff. The movement was so violent as to ring bells on the locomo tives standing In the sheds at the de pots. The rumbling lasted only a few seconds. Whether this shake started the big rock down the mountain at the forks, about 24 hours after, we will let the rock answer for itself. Sergeant-at-arms Gaines, republican, of the state House of Rep's, has been caught at an attempt to make enormous gains by making out a string of witnes ses, in contested election cases, who did not attend, some of whom were never subpoenaed, and others fictitious names- Games was purely for in all thb, and if the House does its duty in the matter it will put Gaines where he ran not do such a little act of villainy again. The Penn'a legislature's usual ad journing time is approaching, and yet it has done nothing but fooled away time. All the real work it has done from first week in January to this date, could have been done in three days, and the useless fellows could hava gone to their homes, attended to private affairs, loafed in sa loons, or whatever may have been their home habits. Pennsylvania could get along admirably the next five years, without any legislature at all—in fact it is getting to be a public nuisance, and we would not be surprised to awake some morning and find that the grand jory of Dauphin county had presented it as such. To drop a can of dynam ite in among these Solons at Harrisbnrg occasionally, we think would lie health*; the adjourning effect of it would be im mediate without a motion. The English people are full of warand fight, but the government is not quite as hot as its subjects are, and although John Bull makes an angry look at the Russian Bear, yet he tries to keep far enough off so as not to be hugged. The temper of the English populace may be seen by their conduct at a peace meet ing in London one day last week. A pro- Turkish mob broke up the meeting. Mr. Bradlaugb, one of the speakers, was af terwards cudgelled, and fled in a cab. If England should get at war with Russia, no doubt these fellows who break up meetings in favor of peace, would be fou id at home, talking war whi'e others would be doing the fightiftg—they would keep at a safe distance from the paws and arms of the Bear. As Frank Hughes does no', think the democratic party can be trusted any more than the republican party upon the matter of greenbacks and that there is need for a third party to be called the National or greenback party, the Pitts burg Post fives Mr. Hughes to under stand that he is misrepresenting the democratic party. The Poet says: "He objects to the National Banking system, as a needless tax upon the peo ple. So do we, and believe greenbacks should be the sole paper currency. Well the National banking system was estab lished during the war as a Republican party measure and in opposition to the votes of all the Democrats in Congress. In 1870, Speaker Randall introduced a bill substituting greenbacks for national bank notes, which received the votes of all the Democrats in Congress and was opposed by the Republicans, and of course defeated, as tbev had an over whelming majority. That there is a bill now before Congress, with every prospect it will pass, proposing to retire national bank notea and substitute greenbacks, is due to the fact of Demo cratic supremacy in one branch, and the growing strength of the party in the other. "The repudiating law of 1869, by which the option of redeeming the bonds in legal tenders was surrendered, which Mr. Hughes will agree with us was an infamous breach of faith, was a Republi can caucus measure, passed by the votes of that party, and oppoeed by all the Democrats in both Houses of Congress, save one! "The silver steal of 1873 was passed by a Republican Congress and approved by a Republican President. "The Resumption law of January, 1875 was devised by a Republican caucus, re ported by Sherman, forced through under the party lash, and voted for by Republican Senators and Representa tives, and opposed by every Democrat in Congress. "These votes cover that financial poli cy against wbicb the National party is supposed to be specially organized. It will be seen it is the fruitage of Repub lican supremacy from beginning to end, and was antagonized and opposed at every step by the Democrats in Con* gress." Representative Banning gave to a Cin cinnati reporter last week the following comparative statement as a good reason for reducing our army expenses : Army Annual An'l cost force. eo*t. per man.

The Penn'a RR., had a stormy annual meeting one day last week, as will be seen in another column of the Reporter. She needs to have a stormy time until she comes up to her promises and com pletes the Penns Valley road. What has Gaines gained.

We occasionally have A subscriber of the Reporter tell us that he can get a large leekly paper from New York and other cities for from $1 to $1.50 per year, while the price of country weeklies is $2 and thinks it too high. Wo will here endeavor to make it plain to all why there is this difference in price. 1. All the cheap city weeklies come from odices where a daily is printed, and the matter set tip for the daily is put aside each week ami used for the weekly—Orna costing nothing for type setting. In'a country paper all the ess [tense of type-setting falls on the •* ee k It. City religious jsipers, where no daily is printed, cost as much as county week lies, and more. The Lutheran Olwerver Philad., costs $2.50 . The N Y. Observer costs s.'<ls: The N. Y. Kxatntner costs $-.50, and thus all other city weeklies for which the type must be set express* ly like IU a country office where no daily ia published. 2. The cheap city weeklies on which there is no expense for composition, [because taken from the daily have a circulation of from W 000 to 50,000 and over, and a clear profit of only five cents on each subscriber would bring a clean profit off 1500 to SSOOO per year. The average counly papers have a circulation running from 400 to 2000, and a profit of 10, CO, or 10 cents on that would be a mere tritie, and would leave the paper to starve. S. Those large newspaper establish ments in the city can afford to have their own paper tnills, and get their paper at cost. They pay about 21 cents t>er pound for rags, and their paper costs them about 4cts per lb. We country printers must pay three times as much for rag paper .besides many of the city papers are printed on straw j>aper, which coats them still less. 4. The duty on paper ia so high that none can be imported from Kngland where paper is very cheap; this gives the American japer mills a monopoly and they tlx the price that printers witot pay. Books, newspapers, Ac., would all be cheaper were it not for this mo nopoly which is kept up by a high duty on imported paper. To sum up, then •• A city week'.v like the Sun, World, Times, and others, is low in price because tbev have all the above advantages—and we ask any honest, candid reader of the Reporter, how it would be possible for a country paper to exist if it had to come down in price to a level with the city weekly,and none of its advantages" If our type setting cost us uothiiig, and if we had thousands of a circulation and could manufacture our o* n paper and thus have it at hrst cost, then we could do it. Otherwise not. These are some of the reasons w by a county paper is higher in price than one from the city and we believe they will convince any fair-minded reader that country papers are published at as low a figure as cir cumstances will permit, and that it would be unfair to ask the publisher to comedown to city prices. Country paj>ers, be it remembered, were not raised in price during the war— all city papers were, SERGEAXT'A T-A RMS GA IXES M YTUIL AL i 1I XESSES.

The citizens of the northern portion of this county have been strug gling for a separate existence for the past eighteen years, but have repeated ly had their project defeated in the Leg islature by influences brought to bear from Wnkesbarre, the county scat. There is a strong prolmbihty that the present Legislature will grant the peti tion, aa the necessity for a division has become apparent. The name of Lack awanna has been proposed for the coun ty to be created, us the principal portion of the territory which it will comprise, is located in the lau-kawanna Valley. Scranton will be the county scat. Lu zerne county has a population of 230,1**1 and an area of I,4<*> square miles. The oew county will have an area of 420 square miles and 90,000 inhabitants.

She cannot convey or mortgage it, unless the instrument cre atintc the estate gives her that power, ami, in the absence of it, her deed or mortgage, though her husband join in it is absolutely void. On the husband's death the trust for her separate use ceases, and does not revive on a second marriage. With these principles in his mind, a good business man could not go far astray in reirard to the rights and powers of a married woman over her own property. 1 MOSEY RAMI' IX COXSTAXTI X"I'LE I'EA R UREA If Constantinople. Jan 25.- We are in the midst of a money panic. The theory of a paternal Government is that it should act on communistic principles to the extent of providing bread lor the people at a reasonable price. The pro* duction of bread is under severe restric tions, and the Government daily joun ces on ambulant bread-inen to weigh their loaves and to confiscate the stock if one loaf is under weight, But gold haa gone up 20 percent in twenty-four hours, and the wisest precautions of the fathers of the faithful hare failed. Men went hungry to bed last night because the bakers will not take paper money, whose value will shrink 10 per cent while the bread is baking 1 a Turk ish girl of nineteen or twenty, standing near a baker's -hop, yesterday, with w rath in her eye. Her veil had fallen, and sir. in fact, had her outer mantle. Her face was finely moulded, her eye black as jet. Her cheeks were Hushed with excitement, and her nostrils were dilated. The trouble was that she has been able to earn five pia-tre* a day with which to buy bread for her mother, two small children and herself. At the beginning of the war bread was oneaud three-quarter piastres per oke, and it re quired two okes of bread every day for the family. As the pat>er dej reciated, the price of hrvad was increased, hut her wages remained five piastres a day, as before. Yesterday the poorgir! was in formed by the baker that the price of bread had been raised to five piastres the oke. Still she earns only five pias tres perdav. I*nfortunately rhe is not the only victim to "the times." The suffering in the city has become very great, and I fear that in the country it may be much worse, even in r>-gionsdis tant from the seat of war. At Erzerum the people are almost starving. Flour is five times the ordinary price, and the poor suffer doubly because no luel is to be had. Many have tied, but the com mon people cannot tlee.

It is in the presence of death that life must be affirmed. The Republic will live be cause it is right, because it will be con cord, because we are clement, pacific and brotherly.

A motion was madu by Cu-iavus Ho i inak, that as ike annual report had been fully published, and all wore familiar with 11 it, the reading of it be dispensed with. • | Numerous objection* were made, on the 11 ground that the report was the most im portant ever prepared, and things in it should be explained to the shareholders The final decision was that the report be i read, and that those present should have I tht privilege of calling for explanations o! • any points which might lie in doubt ' When the mention of general expenses • of the main line, SHS .Vss 7V'. was reached a stockholder said . "I desire to know what are the salaries of the President and ! Vice President* * ' Colonel In re ply, said : "The salaries ot Vice Presi dent* were SI2,UW. but it has been re duced to about SIO,OUO each. My own • salary is about $24 UUO, subject to 2D per , cent reduction Two reductions at 10 percent, each have been made. Other I officer* have salaries in main office* from , SIO,(AW to $ 1.0W) " In reply to a question i a- to the salaries of the three assistant vice ■ presidents, Col Scott said it was original-! i ly $b (k*)but was now $4,8(11). , That portion <>f the report relative to the - rule of the Empire Line having been read, -| in answer to a question how long the Em > |-ire Line lisd been established on the t road. Colonel Scott explained that trans portation lines were started on the road • twenty years ago in competition with New York reads, and because fast lines drew) • more business than the road could hare t dene by itself The Empire Line wasi . bought w hen it was. bei ause grt at diflicul ty hid arisen among the oil refineries, by -i which it lost fir several months very large and valuable traffic. He consider* ped the purchase n wise operation Colonel . ->coii further -aid he was not one of |ti - stockholders of thd Empire Lme hef.-re : the purchase lie stated that the compa- r.v paid for the li .n c2.tsvl.lM 1 lr thsn the line > >t tin* original ew ni-rs (.'>•l Stutl *i lnirru(tiiHl ibi>ul (lis ei I>re buatrtraa, and explained Ills', other r>sJ had triml unprv&iably to conduct their own expr.- business Col Scott answered all question* personal!? in re-' gsrd to nny point in the report lie at*' tribute.i the falling i>!T in the business latl. y-ar to the slow movement of Wet*rni products early in the year, tha Jamages and delay occa-ioned by the mils. the un-j satisfactory condition of the anthracite coal trade, competition in the s i tran-l port* t ion arid the general shrinkage of The Funding Plan. When tha funding plan and resolution indorsing it with which the report con cludes had been re* 1, an angry and excit ! discussion followed A stockholder, Mr. (ialvin, asked what advantage il would be to the slot kholders. Colonel Scott replie ! that it would un load liabilities it the company, amounting to Slt£l OUU.UUII lie considered >1 the saf est and best possible security that could bs made in this county. Mr. (islrin retorted that by the plan it a few years all his stock would be taker ' from him. lie had heard the manage niatit criticised on a ! hands Inside in teratl bad absorbed the money of the ! stockholders. Mr l'ntter of Philadelphia, opposed lbs funding proposition, and urged that it pro posed to intrust two individuals and • ! street company, with power of purchasing ' 5183.000 <OO of securities. He claimed ths ' plan would be slow and doubtful in lis re . suits. Mr. Todd of (sreetisburg, said tbo road demanded a chat,go of management It it I on the v*rge of bankruptcy, and there are women and children in his town to-day who want bread because of the misman agement which has characterised the road and made il (ail a a dividend-paying in vestment. tCbeert ) Col Scott defended the management of the road, and said il si as good as that of any corporation in the world, as it was the largest company in the ,world. Some thing has been said about his salary, which he desired to i Alain. He gota little over a yeaiT bad no salary from any other source. (Applause.) He was President not only of the main line, but itj laterals, and he thought it was hard, 1 that when the officers of the road had been I doing their best that such inuendoes should be made. (Applause.) There was 1 not an officer of the road that did not earn hi- salary. Il there wer* he would not nc- I rupy his place a month. A Victory for Colonel Srott. The debate was continued for some time, and was at length terminated by a motion to reler the annual report to a committee of soven for investigation and examina tion, the committee to be appointed by the chair acting with the Board of Directors, and to repor, on Monday, March, 26. the day before the election of the new board A resolution. by a stockholder against free passes, free freight, discrimination and the number and salaries of officers was referred to the committee on the an nual report. An amendment was offered to the reso lutlon of the Hoard of Directors in regard to tho trust fund, that before any money i* paid into tho Trust Company, six per cent, dividends shall b paid tq tho stockhold ers. This resolution was referred to the Committee of Seven on tho annual report. TWI result ol the mooting so far Is con sidered a Colonel Scott. The committee will bo appointed in bis inter est, and their report will sustain the pend ing plan proposed by the President and Directors of the road. • -<r- f - ■ A. KB.
