Holt and Moses Thompson were th? rcpreeentative delegatea front t h s county to the National convention in Philadelphia last week. Our state legislature has made up Ha mind to adjourn May 24. Havana news says the sugar crop will fk'.l short SO to 35 per cent or from 100,000 to 140,000 tons. How will that effect our preserves '' The legislature has sat at Hamaburgso long doing nothing that it has got a 1 juonldy. The Supreme court the other day ren dered a sensible decision on the qna - tion afthe interpretation of the Kith'* Hour law now on the statute books, de riding that only eight hours' t>ay can he exacted under it for eight hours worl.. The ease was that of the employees at the Granite Works in Richmond, a. This decision will prevent the paaaace by Congress of the contemplated jort resolution declaring that the preset t law should be construed to mesa tkrt ten bourn' pay should be given for 1 honr" work. KopreswtaliTW o. laboring men in the navy yards hava teen for some months advocating the passage of such s resolution. The only relief that can be obtained by these workmen now is to secure the passage of an entirely new law, which i§ hardly poadble at the present session. On Sunday 90,000 perwona visited the Paris exposition. At oar Ontennix! the show was not open on Sunday, but in France there is not the same veneration for the Lord's day. With the gay Parisians Sunday is day of pleasure, and we have no doubt that throughout the French exposition the Sabbath will prove one of the best paying days. The convention of the Nationals in Philadelphia, last week, was a storrnv one. and there came pretty near being a row. Bill Armstrong it is said will take the stump against tbeucket. There is still further trouble in the National camp. Chairman Hughes received adispatcn from Mr. Shearer, declining the nomi nation of the national party for lieuten ant governor. The filling of the vacat • cy will now devolve upon the state com mittee. It is believed that Hon. B. S. Bently will also decline. The Edenburg bank, in the oil coun try. has closed its door*. Liabilitieeonlr $104,000, with aasetts next to nothing Deposits from 50 to 60 thousand dollars. Of course there is considerable excite ment there over this little affair, and of course the president has left town per haps for Florida for his health. The Union National bank of Lewie bnrg has suspended. It is thought the depositors will be paid in full. That's the usual song right after a bank sus pends. We would be right glad to find the depositor* come out so well as tbat. Relative to the investigation of the Florida fraud*, the following was tele graphed from Washington on 9: The Democratic Congressional Executive Committee unanimously agree in com mon with other members of ths p*rtv tbat there should be an investigation 'f the alleged Florida and Louisiana frands, for the sole purpose of acquaint ing the people with the frauds and not with a view of the invalidation of the title by which Hayes hold* office. The Committee on Jndicihry will, as soon as the resolution directing them to mako inquiry shall pass the House, pro ceed at once to business. It is not thought that much time will be occupi ed in the investigation as the Commitee already have testimony taken daring the late Congress on the same sub ject. There is about as much unneca— -y newspaper fuss over Don Cameron's wedding, last week, to a niece of Gen. Sherman, as there was a week before over the death of John Morrisey. Now a great many bettwr men than Joha Morrisey die every day, and a great many worthier men than Don Cameron get married every week, and you neTer hear of such death or marriage outside of the immediate locality in which the event occur*. What is there about Don Cameron that his wedding must take np pages in the d'lily press? He is the son of the greatest public plunderer and moat cor rupt politician that the United States ever produced. Simon Cameron started his dishonest career as one of the Penn sylvania canal ring; cheated the Win nebago indians, was kicked out of the democratic party for bia corrupt practi ces, bought his way into the republican party and twice into the United States Senate; swindled the United States out of millions daring the war to help bis railroad, and for which a republican congress passed a strong resolution of censure upon the Winnebago, and which led to his being kicked out of Lincoln's cabinet—and a hundred other great sins could we score up against Si mon Cameron. Don Cameron, eon of Simon, is s cold banker and iron hearted railroad mana ger, who baa given bis life to nothing bat exacting from the producers and consumers of the country, from whom be has shaved bis millions. He is not noted for any good qualitiesjof heart or soul and is now trying to control the re publican party by the same means that his sire held it in bondage. Don was Secretary of war at the close of Grant's administration, and it was be who sent soldiers to Louisiana to steal that state for Hayes, and prevent an honest count and thus set aside the will of the nation and brought about the seating of a fraudulent president—now admitted by republicans as well as democrats. If justice had been given Don Ca®eron for his great crime and usurpation, be would not be living to-day to chaCtc tbe name of Miss Sherman to Mrs. Cameron. The Cameron family has been a stain upon parties and upon the country— they have done more to introduce cor ruption in the government than any ten public men living. The late pulpit blast about there be ing no htl has cooled off, and we sup pose the oM lake is hot as ever. There are 860 inmates in tbe western penitentiary J The new county of Lackawanna will ftmtain 85,400 inhabitant*. THE FI'XERA L STKAI A member of our state legWature did j A Nhort time ngo. and now we see that tliAt body is about to appropriate some S2OOO to pay funeral expenses! M hat huthtiUtf to do with the funeral ex ponas* of a legislator? Where i* there warrant in the constitution for paying such expeneea out of the public funds . and if it were in the constitution 't would be wrong and should be blotted out at onee. A private citisen, following his owr. I honest avoeution. makes from 50 cents; to $2 per day -some make nothing these ; times— if one dies, does the funeral ex- | pense eonte out of the public funds uti less the dead is a pauper ? A legislate* gets $lO per day. he dies, perhaps from too good living or debauchery, and the public to pay his funeral expenses, am. at right princely figures at that. Is that right T What better right ha- a legisla tor or a congressman with a big salary to oe buried at public expense than has the humblest reader of the Repor ter? It is a piece of robbery tbat the tax paver must not allow to be covered up with the corpse. At this rale a dead legislator coats tis far more than a living cue. and the living one coats the people just SIOOO beyond what hit services aie worth. So we go. The Lycoming Insurance company lwlieves in high. salaries. The people about a year ago were startled by the exposure of the enormia salaries re calved by some of the now defunct us tern insurance companies, but we have .me nearer b>*w that goes in for princely salaries toe~*l i* the F.>rnver>' Mutual of PennsvalJey ut;ch works foe about board and mileage-but the Lromaing in which many of the readers of the Report** arc insured, and ■he assessments of which ugte been --ather xb-ng. is tho ' 4 -oaiiug It,.

Mr. Langdon held a policy for $2 100 on the goods in his store at Hun bar. Centre county, in the l.yeomtng In surance Company. His store, with its conteuts, was burued on the nig.it of January 15. and this suit was brought to woter (or hi® loan. The ue fence was that he had faiUJ to give the company the notices required ) bis policv; that he having not complied W ith the terms of the contract, could not now recover, and that in addition, the Insur ance was fraudulently obtained, ami was for a much larger amount than it shou... have been ; that the store bad Ueu des troyed to get the Insurance ath th. usual charges that arc made in these cases. The plaintiff, unfortunately, had lost his son who was in the store at the time of the fire and was thus put at a great disadvantage, it came out during the trial that Mr. Crouse. one of the ad justers of the Company, was paid a sala rv of $5 (WO: that thev have several ad justers, and that the Secretary's salary was more. So big he was ashamed to make it known. It seei. U is flß,*>. and this is where the money goas. If •die people who insure in these compa nies would onlv see to these things, it would aurelv make the costs of insur ance a great' lower. On the second dav of the trial. Hauiugl Wigton. a juror, was excused by consent of the parties on account of sickness, and it .* .quite laughable to have one of the counsel for the plaintiff rise on the last dav of the trial and stop the examination of a wit ness. because there were only eleven jurors iu the box. The perfected in this transaction from beginning to end, by a vertain attorner from Tyrone, WM any thing but creditable, aud the severe drubbing he received af the bands of Ihe plaintiff 's counsel was well Jraerved The case was given to the jury after 11 p. m.. Saturday night, wlio M-tired and returned in about twenty minutes with a verdut af $2,362.50 for the plaintiff, that beiag the full amount he claimed. A righteoua verdict. Six men were publicly whipped in the jail yard at Newcastle, Del., on Saturday. That is the way criaiinals are served in Delaware, and we think it has a greater terror for evil-doers than imprisonment. A man will ten times sooner go to jail th an to the whipping post, and is more likely *o strait oo jtccount of the litter. t A despatch Lewisburg 10. say* the suspension of the Union national bank of Lewisburg, Pennsvlvan' 4 - '• ' ,e " lieved to be only temporary, and rest."' 1 * from the mismanagement of the cashier. Depositors will be fully paid, as the as sets are largely in excess of the liabili ties. Examiner Young is now in charge of tbe bank, and a statement will be made in a few days. A friend tells us tbat a short time sgo in the store at I'otter* Mill*, the conver sation turned upon the circul*tion of the county papers. One gentleman, a re publican, contended that the Bellefonte Republican bad the largest circulation. Another, and no doubt a democrat, claimed for the Watchman a larger cir culation than the Republican, while still another claimed that the Reporter had the greatest number of readers. One of the gentlemen afterward* referred the matter to us, and as it seems to interest the people, we give our estimate fairly ind candidly as far as we have means to ascertain, and to that extent can be taken as reliable. A* to the circulajion of the Reporter, we never were guilty of misrepresenting our circulation, a sin that many newpaper men, wc are sorry to say, are guilty of—it is a fraud upon men who pay for advertisements upon * circulation which is fictitious. Tbe circulation of the Reporter isnr.w close on to 1200. In Tcnnsvalley we hare as many subscribers as Bny two papers in tbe county; and on the other side of the county we admit that the circulation of this paper is not as large as that of any one of the Bellefonte papers although we send a goodly number of papers to the other side. Taken on the whole, we candidly believe that the Re porter has as large a Lonafidf list as any of the Bellefonte papers, or comes very close up to them. We hold postmasters receipts for 68 cents, or 34 pounds, mail ed, per week. The amount paid per week, at Belle fonte, for the Watchman and the Re publican is $1.75, representingß7 pounds or 43 pounds if divided equally bftween the two. The Journal at Millheim pays postage on 7 to 8 pounds, or 14 to 10 cents j.r week, which would indicate a circula tion of about 325. Tbe Philipsburg Journal has a circu lation of 350 to 400. DEATH OP ONE OP THE OI.I,EKT SLAVES tfl PA.— Mrs. Hannah Kelly (colored) in ber 88tb year, died in Williamsport on the 4th inst. She was one of the lust persons held in slavery by tbe isws of the stale of Pennsylvania. She was ojven her freedom at the age of nine t^,n by Governor Findlay, and went from M ercersburg to luincaster, as the servant in the governor's family, when the governor was state treasurer, and the state government was located at that place. This was in the year lao7. A short time before Governor Findlay died, he directed his daughter, who WHS afterwards the wife of Governor Shunk, to always give good attention to his faithful servant Hannah, and scarcely a year passed, during the life of Mrs. Shunk, that Mrs. Kelly did not receivo some substantial token of ber friendship and when Mrs. Shunk died, a few months ago, her will directed that SIOO should be paid to Hannah, and S2OO to hev daughter, Capt. Kelly's mother. i\ .t TIO \ .1 IJ? EOS 1/. V7 toy. MKNTIKV SOWINATKL. WR ''"> 9V "> i—,ms -nr sn mason ton oo\ BW NOK.
