Can't Hayes do as wll|aa Elizabeth—

The bill regulating the pay of Co.
Supta. hits passed the House and Scnatt
and now awaits the signature of the
Governor. It reads thus: "Be it en
acted, etc. That the salary of each coun
ty superintendent of common schools
elected according to law in the year ISTS.
and thereafter, shall t>o foardo.lars and
fifty cents for each school in his juris
diction at the time of his election, to he
paid out of the general fund appropria
ted for common schools. Provided, that
the salary of a county superintendent
shall in no case be less than eight hun
dred dollars nor more than eighteen
hundred dollars per annum, and in
counties with over one hundred schools
it shall not be less than one thousand
dollars. And provided further, that in
all counties having over two hundred
ami ninety schools, or twelve hundred
square miles of territory, or a school
term extending seven and one half
months, the salaries of said aunerin
tendents shall not be less than fifteen
hundred dollars. That so much of sec
tion thirty-nine of the act of llay S, IS>4
as requires that a convention of school
directors shall determine the compensa
tion of a county superintendent, is here*
oy repealed, except so far as provided
for in this act.
Centre county lias 213 schools, and
about 1300 square miles territory. This
then makes the salary of our superin
tendent SISOO, according to last pro
viso.
The New York and some other dailies
have long stories about the death of
John Morriany—prixe tighter and late
state senator. We do not know what
there is about John Morrissy that need?
more than half a column mention in any
newspaper, let alone a whole page of fine
print.
Very sensible is the following from
the Heliusgrove Times relative to tbe
ruinous and unreasonable practice of
bailing:
lt is surprising how recklessly people
go bail. Thousands of families have
been reduced from plenty to want and
penury by thoughtlessly putting one's
name to paper as bail in which the hail
had no interest whatever. Men should
consider and learn to sav xo.
And here is a fresh case in point, an
evcrv day occurrence:
0. 11. Meyers, Judge ofthe Northamp
ton county courts, has filed his applica
tion to go into involuntary bankruptcy.
When he took the Bench, about three
vears ago, he forfeited a practice worth
SIO,OOO a year. The salary of judge of
the county is $5,000. The cause of his
financial embarrassment is attributed to
his liberality in endorsing for his
friends.
We are sorry for Judge Meyers of Eas
ton, we knew him, he was an nprigh
man and of the strictest integrity.
The House of Representatives has cut
tbe force in the I.an-l Office down to 101
clerks.
Thank tho democrats for another
stroke in favor of economy.
The republicans of our state legisla
ture have provided for one of the ring
leaders, Mr. Quay of Beaver, by creating
a new office in Philadelphia, a Recor
dership, for bim, worth a snug SIO,OOO
per year. Quay is at present Hartranfs
Sec'y of State, and he says he will hold
on to tt a: position, as it i# not incom
patible With tbe new one. Well that's
putting it on thick as apple butter, in
deed, and with the same greed as Kishi
minetas, White displayed when he was
state senator, delegate to constitutional
convention, and running for Congress,
all at the same time.
We hare received a number of letters
from the foremost merchants and bnsi
inen of this county, which relate of the
impudence and insult received at the
hands of Treasurer Musser when he was
scarce warm in bis seat. We find tlie
Reporter has company in its bad treat
ment YVe may publish some spicy ex
tracts from these letters in our next
some of tbe writers sav they have al
ready given Treasurer Musser a piece of
their mind.
"We slate it upon the authority of the
county commissioners that they have
furnished the blanks for the county for
last year, (a full supply), at about sl20 —
for which heretofore the county paid,
every year the sum of S6OO. That is
quite a saving in one item, and proves
what the Reporter has asserted for
years, that there could be a saving of
several hundred dollars in the bill for
printing blanks; the thing has now been
demonstrated, and tax-payers should
keep this fact hi view.
Oil, MY!
Just hear what the guiltless Ruther
ford has to say for himself about the
Florida fraud—be pleads innocent, of
course, like all criminals :
Mr. Haves in conversation on the po
litical situation, alluding to the Florida
scandal, said that so far as he was con
cerned, be was not cognizant to any in
trigues or manipulations to secure suc
cess in his interest, and if such were the
fact he should certainly have discounte
nanced any effort to bring about a re
sult contrary to the honest vote of the
state. He said that in a few letters
written to his friends here, whilst the
subject was pending, he repeatedly urgs
ed them to see that a fair and honest
count was reached. He says he has no
objection to a thorough investigation,
and believes that it would be better
for all parties to have tbis question set
tled.
The Democratic State Convention of
Pennsylvania, for 1878, will be held in

CHICAGO i OMMI SISTS DMl.l.lS
Are we to have last summer's torribi.
disturbances over again' There art
muttering* of distant thunder front i hi
cago, and echoes from other cities 1 lu
men who cheered on the mob ot Lt-
sumrner—many of them— were aftt
wards ashamed of !t and had t > he
pav for the wauton destruction ! f mi
ions of property. No punishment c.
WAS dealt out to the few of the m:in>
concerned was too severe. Let the
authorities be prepared, and w en tlie
first communistic outbreak occur* let it
be dealt with in a manner tha: w ill
require a coffin for every one w Uo again
raises his arm against law-, order ami
property.
From Chicago it is reported that tw--
thousand Communists in Chicago an
drilling once or twice a week. In the
Fourteenth Ward about -e" men have
been under arms during the W inter
On the North Side there are three Lai
where -100 men drill every week. In the
Seventh Ward between 400 and N-Omen
are organized, and there are iri. - a.-
often as three times a week, in the
Sixth Ward 700 men meet in two large
halls, and in the Fifth Ward the num
ber of recruits is daily increasing. 1 tu-
Superintendent of Police states that the
Communists generally drill in detach
ments of twelve men, so as not to at-
tract public attention; bnt of late they
have become bolder, and whole compa
nies are placed under discipline at a
time. The arms used are mainly spring
field ritles of old and new pattern* but
several companies have Enfield rstle*.
The most startling fact that the Super
intendent announces is this .- The I'oni-
munists have sent an agent to New
Y'ork to purchase arms and ammuni
tion.
Tha Chicago newspapers, says the
Tribune, are full of'"Communism. it
continues to excite an uneasy feeling
there and elsewhere. There seems to
be a nervous awaiting of trouble —a:,
apprehension that the terrible scenes of
the last Hummer may be repeated dur
ing the next. The facts are these : A
considerable number of operatives in
Chicago have provided themselve- with
arms and ammunition ; they have done
this secretly; they are said to have drill
ed. It is consequently apprehended
that in the probable event of a general
strike, they intend to do battle with
the authorities who may seek to pre
serve order and to protect property. The
strike is looked for before the last of
May, and there is no hope of a peacea
ble one. When men buy guns, the time
for argument has gone by. \\ hen nun
organize themselves into regimcpts,
of law and order. Muskets mean mis
chief. It is said that the "American
Commune" is 280,000 strong, and is still
growing stronger. If so, though we
hardiy believe the story, peaceful peo
ple ought to be ready to become warlike
at a moment's notice. So they think in
Chicago. The Board of Trade lias sub
scribed $3,500 for the better arming and
equipment of the police. The packers,
the commission men, the elevator men,
are putting down their money hand
somely. The Governor of Illinois lias
placed himself in communication with
the civil and military officers ofChicago.
Tbe militia regiments have been sup
plied with ammunition. The newspa
pers bristle with warnings printed in the
largest of type. These precautions may
suffice. There may be no important
outbreak of the mob-spirit in Chicago.
The philosophers with breech-loaders
may consider discretion to be the better
part of valor. A bold and determined
front, with law on its side, usually has
a wonderful effect upon the most volu
ble reformer. lie can do no mischief,
unless he catches tbe body politic asleep
as he did last Hummer. We are told
that the headquarters of this "American
Commune" are in New-Y'ork.
YVe reiterate the charge, uj>on the
best of authority, that Treasurer Musser
when his land sales were stopped two
years ago on account of wilful violation
of law in advertising, that he then tried
hard to have tlie expense of his blunder
saddled upon the county, instead of like
a man being willing to foot it h'ni
sei f.
The Reporter is not the ouiy one that
has received unfair and ungenerous
treatment at the hands of Treasurer
Musser ; we have letters from business
men telling of the insolent notice they
received from Treasurer Musser, relative
to the payment of licenses. This we
have frt>m the most prominent and best
democratic as well as republican mer
chants and business men in the eosinty,
who make no secret ofit. Such conduct
is in keeping with the man who goes
back on a democratic pajier that gave
him support and bestows his patronage
upon papers that neither gave him nor
lim democratic party any aid.
This ie Treasurer Musser as others see j
him. If you to know how he shows j
off himself, read his sketch of himv

Harrisburg, May 3.—The scene in the
House this morning beggared descrip
tion.. and if iht people of the Common
wealth could only have looked in upon
their Representatives there would have
been universal surprise that even the
Pennsylvania Legislature could counte
nance saeh disorder, such nonsense and
such levity as prevailed. It was in Com
mittee of the Whole upon tha bill for
the revision of the game laws, and the
enemies of the anti-i>iacrimination bill,
which was next on the calender, wanted
to keep that bill from being reached.
Probably a hundred amendments were
offered, the most of which were present
ed only to kill time and create a laugh
while the people's money was being
squandered at the rate of about
i>er hour. The following, offered by
t iills -pic, of Philadelphia, may be talun
as a fair sample of the legislative wis
doui to which the people of tlie State
were treated to this morning. "Resolv
ed that slo,!' ) be appropriated to put
wire screens up along tlie Delaware
front to keep the crows from leaving
Jersey and coming over to this Htate."
And this is what the people of this
Commonwealth are paying I j.Oou a dav
for. "Age. Thou art shamed! Rome,
thou hast lost the breed of nohle'hloods
While a dozen men were on their feet at
once, all clamoring for recognition from
tlie chair, and waving aloft pieces of
foolscap upon which were written
amendments to the bill, the others were
running across the lioor, j>elting each
other with paper balls, and having a
high old time generally. Presently a
new diver-ion was introduced in the
shape of a large artificial spider fastened
to the end of a cane with a string, which
certain members brought in close
proximity to the ears and necks of other
members. This was considered a grand
success, and this branch of the amuse
ment was kept up until the hour of ad
journment.
Washington, May l. -Tho judiciary
committee arc daily receiviug addition
al information on tiie alleged frauds in
Florida. But there w ill be no action till
possession of all available facts in the
case is had. In looking up the telegrams
they have come across a telegraphic cor
respondence between Foster, Garfield
and others, and Governor Young, which
it is claimed will prove the alleged bar
gain between Hayes and certain south
ern democrats whilst the electoral count
was going on in the house. It is assert
ed that Y'oung showed these dispatches
to Mr. Hayes at Columbus, and it was
done with his full knowledge and ap
proval-

; CROWDED DWELLINGS.
II
, The New York ti*. rU has been giving
some attention recently to the in: .mous
tenement house system of #h*t citv, ar.d
(he fa. L which it presents not only arr of
great imparlance to the citisens of New
dork, but po-:ij considerable interest for
thoughtful ;or. us everyuhero. |l ap
. (.ears from tho -Utislict cuIL-pted by thu
ii < that nearly thre-f urth* of the
entire population of New Tork are crowd
- e.l into one fourth of the house*, no leu
. than twenty-one thousand out of eighty
. -ix thousand buildings in the city con
j laming an a- .rage . f more than forty in
. habitants apiece. In Philadelphia, where
a dwelling occupied by more than one
family i an eii option lo the general rule,
• d will appear almost incredible that there
' are in New Vrk but I'd.'.'7l dwellings
'letch occupied bv a singln family, and
r ranked in the > ilicia! tcnedules as "first
.-jclass.' t>f the "second class dwellings,
,1 occupied by two or three tamiUus each,
i there aro 15,013, not including the 146
apartments houses or French Hats ; while
i of tenement houses, containing 'our or
more fami'iej, there are 21,270. The vi..
lalion of all ranitary law* involved in
' crowding together a ileum or twenty faro
■' ilies in a single narrow dwelling is too ob
vieus t.> need demonstration, although the
' statist:. may servo to draw attention t>>
i tho evil, it is shown, f>r example, that
in one ward, having a population of 26,-
• .VJti and an area of l'.e> acres, there were
. 4-hj deaths in a year, while in an adjoining
. ward, with almost the same population,
. 26,453, crowded into about one-half the
, area, or'.! arres, the deaths in the tame
: period were 001. But what is far more im
portant than all this it the social disorgan
' i/.ation that n;ust result from such a sys
tem. Not only docs tho tenement house

i Of 4e7 Juvenile criminals wlioteca-et were
f investigated by the New York Prison As
! tocinlion, 417 lived in unomcrt bouses
.: of all other classes. Such figures, how
ever, cannot show or can but faintly rug
' | get the demoralixing influenco of tho ten
'jemcnt house system, where twenty or
E thirty families are herded togsther under
"one roof, to the utter destruction not only
I of domestic privacy and homo comfort,
i but even of common decency. Happily
■ such a state of things as here described ei
- isls or is likrlv to exist in this country tiu-
I where out of New York, for nowhere else
is there tho fame geographical necessity
for crowding a largo population into a
-mall space; buttbo same tendency exists
in every citv, and it will be found every
where thai in theso crowded nests of dis
ease and .rime are propagated thoso elo
menta of social disorder that once and
again have threatened to destroy our civil
institutions. Such surroundings cannot
produce good citizens and there is no high
er or more imperative duty for the law
maker or the philanthropist or for thoso
who seek tho safety of society than that of
laboring to improve tho dwellings of the
people. There can be no content except
where people are well housed, and wl.t re
there is discontent Ihero is danger.

held this view, but moat Englishmen havej
refuted to believe it, and the truth it now
brought home to them at a moment when
any receding froui the demands already
put forth by the Beacon-field Cabinet
would be a national humiliatien. Eng
land it entirely itolated. She finds her
•elf confronted by war with no apparent
proapect of nri alliance except with the
moribund Turk, and whatever Me-Inn fa
naticism she may be able to ttir up in her
own empire. The prospect now apparent

ALL HOPEUP PEACE GONE.
An Arrangement Between Austria
and liun-ia Nearly Complete—
Kugland to be Completely
Isolated.
London, May '> A St. Petersburg cor
respondent telegraphs that even lh most
sanguine in the Uucsiau capital are abaii
detiilg all hopes of peace. It it now as
serted confidently that General Todleben
w ill force a rupluio >1 the Turks refuse to
deliver up tho fortresses. *
The arrangements for the congress make
no progress LMlnnd demands that Rus
sia -fall withdraw her army first and then
her fleet wilt follow suit. An agreement!
on this question of mutual withdrawal is,,
therefore, not probable.
An undor.-tanding between Austria and,
Russia i- nearly complete. With Russia's
consent Austrian troop- will occupy
lb stiia at the sound of the frjt cannon.
Th> w.'lLaie Kngfnnd in a position of
ci mplete isolation.
Tin r. Uk of tho fi. 11 un General Lwch
jai.in s mission to St. Petersburg is entire
ly -atislactory to the Servians, but will
ns.-tke a new complication that will make
the preservation of European peace ex
tremely difficult. Tho czar has admitted
the claim of the Belgrade government to
that portion of old >-r>.a which was rot
allotted t Servia by the *>aii Stefano
treaty.
Tho offensive has been reopened by the
Servian army against the Turks, with the
object of securing that territory. This is
certain to create a difficulty with Austria,
r et w ith England, and wiii seriously in
to fire with the n.il,.ary p'iition of the
Turks.
N '.withstanding the hopeful news of
llu.-fun c r.cessions announced frotoj
Yien: H it,.! intimated from hi. Petersburg
it cur.u '. be -aid that there is any positive
i fitnge in the principle of the <|uoflient in
dispute. It it said that a conciliatory dis
position has prevailed in the councils of
the St. Petersburg p -vernment, but it it
asked. What do.u Russia consider al this
moment to be a peaceful concession er
conciliatory proposal ?
The fresh attempt to reach an under
standing is described as getting over diffi
culties of firm by making far reaching
c. r o's.iunton the merits of the question.
But the tntsf- rtuue si-tcis lo be that what
: the Russians consider a question of form
England regards as a question of princi
ple.
England demands Ike placing of the
treaty of San Slefano before the congress
for unreserved discussion; Russia, it is
; saiJ, refuses to give way on that point.
Washington, Mav 1. lfT* —The latest
1 intelligence here about the Russian trans
! port Cimbria shou sflbat, though originally
| believe 1 to be destined for New York, she
I steered inshore near Cape Sable at the
I lOuthcrn estremity of Nova Scotia, and
was there signalled, and thereupon laid
| her course for Southwest Harbor. It is
also reported here that about six weeks ago
Colonel Hurko, a very prominent Irish
-1 man, a man who (ought in the Ctimean
war, in ibo Franco-Prusian war, in the
Cuban rebellion and served in the Peru
nan cavalry, came to Washington charg
ed with a mission to Minister Shiskin and
and had several interviews with that gen
tleman, the object being the enlistment of
an Irish contingent to scrveintha Russian
army in any part of lha world in case of
war.
Five Thousand Meu Ready.
Representations wcromado, it is assert
ed, and satisfactory proof given that at
least five thousand men were ready to be
armed and enrolled in New York to enter
the Russian service at a day's notice. The
idea advanced was to place the men on
transports, with provisions and munitions
of war, a few days in advance of the dec
laration of*war and, with the proper con
voy ready, steam awsy northward at the
called signal ef the innninerco of hostili
ties and mako a descent en the ports of
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, where
groat damage could be inflicted, owing to
Ibo defenceless condition of that portion
of British territory. The idea is, of course,
to get those men on board transports con
voyed by ships manned by Russians, fly
ing the Russian flag and under commis
sion from that government, and get them
out of American waters before neutrality
could be declared and steps taken to pre
vent the expedition sailing.

A TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE. .
Explosion in n Minneapolis Flour
Mill—Five Mills Destroyed ntid
Many Lives Lost.
Memphis, Minn,. May 3.—Last evening
this city whs shaken h* by an earthquake
by h terrific explosion, which whs prompt
ly traced to the great flauring mills in
wliftt is known ns tho "Platform," just
above St. Anthony's Falls, whore tho en
tire flouring district of the city is concon
tmted. Tho ciplesion catno from the
great Washburn mill, from which a col
umn of flame was seen to start up several
hundred feet, followed by a crash which
crushed the immense structuro like an egg
shell. Secondary explosions instantly des
troyed Thompson & Iloyt's and the
Humboldt mill, and flames immediately
burst out, communicating to the Galaxy
mills, those of Pettit, Robinson & Co.,
Cahill, Ankeny <Sc Co., L Day & Sons,
Day <k Rollins, Quell, Newton & Co.,]
Garton, Haywood & Co., tho Wasburn A
and 11. mills, and lesser structures down
the bank of the river, nearly to the Min
neapolis and St. Louis Railroad shops.
Tho destruction from the shock of tho ex
plosion extended much furlhor, glass bo
ing wrecked lor several squares and build
ings shaken throughout the city.
The Explosion took place at the hour of
changing the day for night bands, and so
far as known seventeen porsons were kill
ed and an equal number wounded. The
loss to property is enormous, bqt the con
tusion is too greut for an intelligent esti
mate at present. A rough calculation
pieces it at $1.K).000, of which $1,000,000
will fall upon tho milling intorest. Tho
