Our state legislature has made up Ha

The legislature has sat at Hamaburgso

The Supreme court the other day ren
dered a sensible decision on the qna -

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

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 next case was Biehard J.ansdon
vs. The I.vcoming Fire Insurance t ojn
t.anr. 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

from the mismanagement of the cashier.
Depositors will be fully paid, as the as

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.

THE OBJECTB OF THE HO W<JA TE
POLAR EXPEUITIOS.
Favorable reports relative to Captaiu
Howgate'u plan for exploring the Arctic
regions have been made in both House*
of Congress, and a bill providing for a
suitable appropriation will shortly be
considered. Captain Howgatohas point
ed out the cardinal objects of his plan
with much clearness, and in away
which must go far to satisfy those who
can see no national benefit to accrue
from Polar expeditions, the ostensible
end of which is tho empty glory of
showing the flag at the jole, annexing
| new territories of ice field*, and bring
ing polar beam and Esquimaux under
the blessings of a Republican govern
ment. The fact is, however, that the
benefits to be gained by Captain How-
J gate's scheme are really a great iroport
■ ance ; and perhaps most especially so in
i the additions to our knowledge of the
laws of meteorology which will be secur
ed. In reducing meteorology to an ex
act science, an experienced German
student and explorer has shown the ne
cessity of a comprehension of the con
ditions existing in the IMar zones. The
general movements of the atmosphere
arise from the exchange of cold and
w arm, of dry and humid air, between
the poles and the equator. How enor
mous must lie the intluenre of the huge
masses of polar ice upon the distribu
tion of the earth's heat is obvious.
Greenland and Iceland afford proofs
how- the movements of ice, driven by
winds and oceanic currents, may affect
the climate of acountry, hut our knowl
edge of these movements is very defec
tive. Now it is possible that the ice of
the Folar zones may be the regular
cause of our own climatic conditions the
origin of many of the furious storms
which sweep destructively along our
coasts and over our own land. It ispro
bably not saying too much, adds the
same authority, when we assert that tlie
Polar regions are the most important
portions of our globe for tho atudy of
the natural sciences.
The extreme conditions under whirl?
the forces of nature act in the vicinity
of the poles produce phenomena whicn
offer us the best means of investigating
the nature of the forces themselves. As
in meteorology, so, also, in terrestial
magnetism and electricity, these have
to do with forces of the most tremend
ous magnitude, often exhibited in des
tructive energy, but never yet subdued
\ti the service of man. So, too, if it is
•iesiiad m investigate the ocean currents
and the law* of the t ides upon which de
perid the safety and success of ocean
commerces ure found cantering in the
North which must be traced to tbeir
sour.te. Probably there is not one of
the laws which govern the elements in
their movements, a better knowledge of
which will not result in material benefit
to the race in cheapening tiie means of
supporting life, in incrtsuungthe sources <
'ofhumnn linppinoae, or in averting the
pcrile to w It it'll we are now subject.

; objectionable to a number of
" Democrats who are unwilling to broach
the question of the I*residential title under

' worse than folly to think ofunseaticg Mr

be presented al tbo ea-liest practicable ms

j ry Committee t send for persons and pa
mpers on the Florida count. It was a'so
Jagrce-1 that tho inquiry should be a judi
social one, so lar as the rule* of evidence ap
i idled, and shou'd not partake of the ways
' and means n<-t infrequent in tbe inyestiga

Berlin, May 11—11 p. m.—Two shots
were fired into the Emperor William's
carriage from the sidewalk without effect.
The assassin ran into the Middle avenue,
followed by a crowd. On an attempt bo
ing made to capture him he fired three
mora shots and threw his revolver away.
He was than secured.
The emperor's carriage was stopped and
the footman sprang from the box and as

A TALE Or HORROK.
(The Atlanta ,'G* I Coioti ulion )
Mr. Jhn I'nre. who lives in the [owe:
pa-t of Lumpkin county, had two little
children, aged respectively three and six.
The? went engaged in their customary
play a few d<iv ago, while the mother was
at the well. Tbo oHd*'. child, for what:
reason it will never be known, picked up
a sharp hatchet and struck the baby in the
side, leaving th" ax sticking In tbo wound.
The child, seeing what ho had done, ran
and told his mother, who was drawing up
water at tho lime. Thit so frightened her
that she let go the windlass, and the re
volving crank struck the boy on the head
and literally knocked his brains out, kill
ing him instantly. When tho horror
stricken mother got to her baby it was al
so dead.
HALFPENNY Jt COS FACTORY
BURNED.
The Lcwisburg Journal, fl, say : Last
night will long be remembered by our cit
iri-n*. About U o'clock a storm cxme up,
which was accompanied by much thunder
and lightning. Soon after the alarm of
fire was given. It wu* found M Halfpen
ny & Co's large woolen mill, located at
the river bridge, was on fire. Tbe flames
wern first seen in the main building, on
the third story, near tha elevator. Rain
wa* coming down in torrents, but tbo en
gine and hose were there in quick reason.
Streams were thrown, but each time the
engine started the hoc would burst. Val
uable time wa* thus waited and :bc flames
soon enveloped tho whole budding.
A two-story frame building owned by
Halfpenny A Co., and partly used as a
storehouse by them, and tbo remaindor
occupied a* a residence by Mr. John
Brooks, soon caught fire. It could have
been easily saved if the hose had been in
good order.
In the midst of theexcitement, when ap
pearances indicated that all that portion
of tho borough would be destroyed, an
other thunder shower come up, and never
wa* a shower more welcome. At this mo
ment the four houses of Mr. James Wull
were on fire, and others could not long
i have withstood the Lout. The rain, bow
ever, smothered the lire in ml I cases except
the Iwo building* of Halfpenny & Co.
The woolen factory was insured as fol
lows : On building and machinery, $20,-
600, on stock $(>,000.
Tho frame building wa* insured : On
storehouse and dwelling sflOO, stock fully
insured.
It has not yet been decided whether the
factory will be rebuilt or not.
Tbo fire is supposed to havo been caused
uitbar by spoulunuous combustion or by
the lightning.
