The Ceatre Reporter. FRED KURTR oven asasiisnio BRT TOR Cesar Hart, Pa, March, 3. 1881. ss os Congress adjournes on 4th, When the next congress meets Gov. Curtin will take his seat and the 20 district will have a representative—for the last two yea we did not find out of any one io represented the district. —— I Mr —————— Mr. Bierly, of Lycoming, has introduc. ed a bill in the House, at Harrisburg, re- ducing the salaries, That will be popu- lar, and is needed, but we fear the ma jority of our legislators are too thick sk alle od and venal to pass it. Salaries gener ally go up~never down—handly ever. ———— Col. McClure of “We “Philadelphia Times, telegraphs from Washington that all disguise has been thrown off, and John I. Mitchell's election is claimed as the result of a deep laid Cameron game to thwart the bolters. ————— i ——————— Conkling, it now turns oul, went to Mentor, to head off Dan Hastings in get: ting a seat in the new cabinet. Dan can now get ahead of Conk in this manner: Let him csll upon Garfield at the execu- tive chamber, and if Garfield don’t point him toa chair and tell him to take a seat then he is devoid of politeness and the Rxrorrsx isno prophet. n—— In reply to frequent inquiries of the Rerorrer whether congress had repealed the law requiring checks to be stamped. we answer not yet. If the proposition were for an increase of salary it would have gone thro’ long ago. But since it is one to suit the convenience of the people it goes slowly. mim A AGI Ap ——— About four hundred Cincinnati mould ers are on strike for an increase of 25 per cent. in wages. Strikes for better wiuges are threaten- ing all around again, notwithstanding the republican promises for better times and higher wages for the workiog- man. sna” my Senator Hall has y introduced & a bill au- thorizing the election of a treasurer in each township, who shall collect all state and local taxes, and providing that 5 per cent. shall be deducted from same if paid ina ified time. This idea we have favored long ago, it will save money and facilitate the collection of taxes. We trust Mr, Hall's bill will pass both branches of the legislature, Wp Several of the National banks throughs out the country are talking of withdraw. ing their circulation, on account of the prospect of the new 3-per cent Refunding bill becominga law. It is really too bad that the National banks should get a set- back. They have had their own way #0 long that unfavorable legislation goes hard with them. The country, however is not in danger: Let them withdraw, if they like, they have drawn long enough upon the coun- ANG SS SISA ov ADULTERA TED FOOD. The Committee on Epidemic Discase in the House will report favorably the bill authorizing a commission of three experts to inquire into the adulteration of food in the United States, Some of the reports of chemists which accompany the report of the committee presented a fear ful state of things, A Chicago chemist writes At the request of a highly respectable citizen of Chicago 1 have examined four teen brands of sugar bought, as I under stand, in this city, some granulated, some rs | White, some colored, some coarse and some fine. I tested them thorougly for impurities, In twelve of the samples I found tin in the form of chloride, an ac tive poison. The other constituents 1 can furnish if you desire, 1 have examined several syrups, made essentially and en tirely of glucose, and found in thon chlorides of tin, calcium, iron and mag pesia, and in quantities which made them very poisonous, In one case a whole neighborhood was poisoned and 1 was told of one death, I have in several cases found sugar of lead in vinegar. 1 use no vinegar myself, I look with sus- picion upon our vinegar, I use fruit acid in place of it, lemon juice anoc. I never eat pickles. I have found in various cases they were poisoned with lead and cop- per. Ihave tasted to some extent the cheap tinware sold in our markets, and have no hesitation in saying that thereis great danger in using fruits, vegetables, meats or fish put up in tia cans ofany kind. They are liable to contain lead and tin, both active poisons. Terra alba is largely used in cream of tartar, confec tionery and pretty universally for adul- teration. I have found in many baking powders alum instead of cream of tartar, a thing dangerous and injurious in any case. I should say that I have come to expect adulteration and to fear danger ous adulteration in almost every article of the grocery kind. I have had large experience in the analysis of colored poi- sonous articles of clothing, being em- ployed by one of the largest dry goods firms in this city. I examined, I think, sixteen samples, and nearly; all of them were poisonous. I have also analyzed for other parties. In one case a child nearly died from’ wearing colored stock- ings. I would like to add that I have analyzed numerous samples of cosmetics and powders used on the face and hair. Another Chicago chemist writes :— Firsi—] have entirely abandoned the use of vinegar generally sold in our markets, believing it to be unfit fur use and dangerous. I know that sulphuric acid is largely used in its manufacture. Second —] never use the pickles gener ally sold in our markets, I think the yelloy pickles are quite as dangerous as thogreen. I know that lead is largely ased in their manufacture. Verdigris is used in making the green. Third—I have examined a large num- ber of specimens of oleomargarine and have found in them organic substances in the form of muscular and connective tissues, various fungi and living organ- boiling acetic acid; also eggs resembling those of the tapeworm. I have them preserved to be shown to any one who desires to see them, The French patent in congress is 205, says the Patriot. The democratic reapportionment bill fixes the number fer the next decade at 807, which will give as nearly an equal increase to the north and south as is justified by a fair allowance to fractions of ratios. The advantage with this number would be slightly with the north, The New York Times, the leading republican newspaper of the country, in a recent editorial, des olares that the basis of 807 is the fairest to every section thal ean be fixed upon. But the republican tricksiers at Washington have determined that they will defeat the apportionment bill by Alibustering if this number is insisted upon, They will not agree to any number less than 310 Their object is to increase the fractions in the New England and other republican states 20 as to secure an advantage towhich they are not entitled under a fair and just aps portionment, In order to accomplish their purpose they do not seruple to increase the number of representatives in such des grea as to make the houses very unwieldy body and to add many thousands of del lars to the cost of each session of congress, If their schemes would prevail $180,000 would be paid out annually in salaries to the additional gongressmen and the inci dental expenses of congress would be pro portionately increased. Besides if they succead in defeating a reapportienmant at this session all state legislatures which hold biennial sessions will be obliged to assemble next year for the purpose of redistricting their states under the new apportionment. Republican obstruction and trickery in congress if successful will cost the country not less than ten millions of dollars *® ole ® The National banks are withdrawing their circulation so rapidly as to inevita: bly One bank called merce can tion as this without disaster. Bul are not the banks acting like the man who cut off his nose to spite his face? Their strong boxes are filled with bills receivable, and other securities, which will experience an enormous depre- ciation if the present course is persevered in. Besides, the people have no great love for banks, anyhow; they only need a good excuse, such as that the banks are now giving them, to substitute greenbacks for bank notes and thus save from $15,- 000,000 te $25,000,000 yearly to the public It is the people that carry the notes of the banks; first, by basing them on bonds: second, by giving them a universal curs rency, thus making them legal tender in fact. Such facts as these should admonish the banks that, ultimately, the people, through the government, are ontirely masters of the situation. ————— . There is no do ubt that the newly elect. od senator, Mitchell, is a man of wax who produce a commercial crisis. in New York is reported to have fo $6,000,000 in loans, No stand such a violent contrac com> resulting in financial will be moulded in the hands of Cameron. Mitchell is not as positive man, and will lack courage to oppose Cameron in any thing he undertakes that is wrong. Beaver would have given Cameron trouble al though his nomination came to the kick- ers in the most offensive manner being pamed from Cameron's own kitchen Beaver was for Cameron only to gain a point, and the point gained he would have struck eut for himself so as to make Don wish he had never known him. Mitchell will lack Beaver's quality in this regard The kickers would have been satisfied I. MITCHELL ELECTED UNITED STATES SENATOR. Both Factions Ratify the Candidate of the Conference~—The Joint Con. vention Finishes the Work in Short Order—A Description of the Scene During the Balloting, At long last the senatorial difficulty is] solved and the dark horses may now go | home and explain to their friends why | they did not win, Yesterday morning about 9 o'clock about uly of the former independents gathered in the “eagles nest” in Felix’s building. Benetor Stew: art, from the committee of twenty-four, reported that John 1, Mitchell had been | on sted as the compromise candidate of} the republicans for United Siales senas tor. On motion the report was adopted and the nomination unanimously ratifi- od. The cancus then adjourned and pro. ceeded to join that being held by the other faction, This caucus was called to order at 9.30 in the state library. Sena- tor Herr presided in the absence of Chairman McNeill, About seventy pers sons were present. Senator Greer, chair man of the conference committes, res ported the action of the twenty-four By this time the former dissenters had returned into the fold and a full republi. CAN CAUCUS Was once more in session Senator Stewart reported the ratification of Mitehell by his faction, and on mo tion of Mr. Wolfe, Mr. Mitchell was made the choice of the full caucus by acclamation, After some indiscriminate cheering the caucus adjourned, The scene in the joiat convention dur ing the election was neither exciting nor inspiring. There was a very large crowd present. As early as 11 o'clock the ladies’ gallery began to fill and in an hour it was overcrowded. Many la. dies found seats on the floor of the house. The gentlemen's lobby was also uncomfortably filled. About one minute before 12 the doors of the house were thrown open and the familiar ebony weapon of the sergeant-at-arms of the senate was seen movingabove the heads of the crowd without. A second later the speaker gave three sounding raps with kis gavel, the house rose and the “committee of the house, president and members of the senate” were announced Down the aisle they came, the sergeant at-arms balanced his mace skillfully op the corner of the clerk's desk and the senators skirmished around and found seats. Then Lieutenant Governor Stone's gavel fell and the joint convenlion was called to order for the last time. Afer Beaver and Bayne had been withdrawn by Senators Cooper and Newmyer re spectively, the balloting was begun with out farther preliminary, It took the tellers only a few minutes to agree in their tallies, and then the lieutenant governor announced the vote Immediately upon his snnouncement that John I. Mitchell had been elected to represent Penneylvania in the Uni ted States senate for six years from the 4th of March next, there was a vigorous clappling of hands from the republican side, which lasted probably a second There was no other demonstration, Four certificates of the resuit were then signed by the president and the two tel lers, and one of the certificates read, af ter which the joint convention, having accomplished the business for which I was called together, wax adjourned with out a day, It will be observed in the regular pro ceedings in another colpmn that Repre- sentative Law did not participate in the love feast, He refused the cake offered him, and ia voting for Hon. Wayne Mae- Veagh asked permission to file his rea sons for so doing. These reasons are to the effect that Mr. Law thinks the bolt ers have not accomplished their object in the election of Mitchell. He does not regard that gentleman as a fair rep- resentative of the principles for which they have been fighting. His ideas on this subject are more ful ly exemplified in the Hon, Wayne Mac Veagh.

When Wallace goes out the great and wealthy commenwealth of Pennsylvania will be represented in the] U. 8. Senate by two men who together will fall short of the measure of our first class statesmen. With Wallace the state had an able and conspicuous statesman—better for all had he been retained. EE Ar-kan-sass or Ar-kan-saw—as last the legislature of the state has settled it; and the Herald remarks, “Henceforward let’ there be peace! The Legislature of the State declars sol- emnly that the name of the State shall for all time to come, at least until we have a new Legislature, be called Ar-kan- saw, “The country will rejoice at this hap- py solution. But how about Kansas? Is there any self-respecting citizen of that grain growing State who would submit to having it called Kan-saw? And Texas ? Does any one doubt that a Texas jury would hesitate to acquit a citizen who had resented the calling of his State Tex- saw ? Arment sa —— Notwithstanding Mr, Wolf's assertion that this move was not prearranged it became known that Mr. Cameron at Washington has had Mr. Mitchell's name under consideration for some time, and that the supporters of the machine were informed #hat it was acceptable to the boss. This accounts in some degree for the pfomptness with which the twelve er men forsook their candidate after sticking to him so tenaciously the night before. John I, Mitchell, of Tioga county, the man selected by the conference to be the candidate of Jthe republican party for United States senator, is now about for- ty-three years of age, He is of com- manding stature and handsome in ap- pearance. He first appeared in public life as a member of the legislature from Tioga county, serving from 1872 to 1876 inclusive. During that time he evidenced ability as a statesmanfand led the repub- lican side of the house. In 1877 he was elected to congress from the Twenty-fifth congressional district, Le a On Friday—thank God—ends the first fraudulent administration in the United States, to be followed by one that has the forms of law for its authority. On Friday Hayes steps out of the white house into which he stepped four years ago by one of the most wicked and gigantic crimes that ever was committed against the American people, by stealing the presi- dency from one who had a fair and hon- est electoral majority besides a majority of a quarterof a million of the popular vote. On Friday Hayes steps out of the white-house with shame upon his face and without the respect of any party of his countrymen, The act by which the pres- idency was stolen from Tilden was a greater and more cowardly rebellion than that of the southern states, who rebelled against an election of Lincoln but backed it up with their lives and fortunes. The rebellion of the gang who seated Hayes was also against an election of a righiful- ly chosen president, Sam’l J. Tilden, but it was a cowardly, sneaking affair, brought about by vilest perjury manu- factured’ for ignorant negroes like Eliza Pinkston and assisted by degraded whites like Wells and the returning board fiends under direction of Sher- man, ' Garfield and others. These two rebellions we have had—both against rightfully chosen presidents, with the difference in character already mention- ed. The sneaking and cowardly rebellion of 1876 against the elected Sam’l J. Til- den, stands lower in the estimation of men than the unjustifisble rebellion, in get in, I have specimens of lean meat taken from oleomargarine. There can be no question that immense amounts of oleomargarine are sold and used as pure butter. I regard it as a dangerous arti- cle, and would on no account permit its use in my family. Fourth—Enormous amounts of the meats of diseased animals are sold in Chicago. I have made a large number of examinations, Fifth—X have been informed of several cases of poisoning in this city from the use of canned meats. I do not dare to use the syrups sold in our markets, and I use but little sugar, as I believe them nearly all adulterated. In regard to glu- cose I am informed and believe that seven-eights of all the sugar sold in Cai- cago is made of or adulterated with glu- cose. As now manufactured and used I know that many of our eminent physi- cians believe it dangerous and productive of disease of the kidneys, The manu- facture of glucose in this country is now enormons, and large factories are being built to increase its manuficture, Another eminent chemist reports adul- terations as follows: Bread, with alum jand ‘sulphate of cops per; yeast, with alum;) baking powder, with alum, terrs alba, plaster of paris, whiting and kaolin; milk, with a variety of articles; cheese, with polatoes, beans, oleomargarine, vermillion, red chalk, sulphate of copper, arsenic and corrosive sublimate; lard, with boiled starch, alum snd quicklime; confectionery, with chro- mate of lead, red led, vermillion, prussian blue, copper and jarsenic; pickles, with sulphuric acid and verdigris; mustard, with yellow ochre and cromate of lead; vinegar, with sulphuric acid; arsenic and corrosive sublimate; coffee, with roasted acorns, spent tanbark, logwood, mabog~ soy, sawdust and burned liver of horses; teas, with a great Yariety of articles. The Senatorial muddle is over, as we mentioned in last week's Reports, the choice falling upon congressman Mitch- ell, of Tioga county, Mr. Mitchell proy- ed the darkest of all dark horses and far darker than Gen. Beaver whom we would have preferred out of “local pride.” The fatal mistake of Beaver was in identify- ing himself with the Cameron machine at the Chicago convention, and standing among the 306 who held out to the last for Grant and a third teem. The Rg- poRTER at the time, and since, told Gen. Beaver, that he committed a blunder: it was only his anxiety to be the next governor that led bim to take the unwise step, for he well knew that the republicans of his county, of the 20 dis trict, and of the state, were for Blaine and not for Grant. And with all this, the Rerorrer also told Beaver that notwith- standing his willingness (unwillingly) to train with the Camerons, they would not favor him for governor even if all went smoothly, because the Jelan had other henchmen, like Quay, who did them longerand more valuable service before Beaver had a vote, and who would do The But this tickling'was like the tickling one but The Camerons are loosing their grip The General has now learned his first BE Garfield left his home for Washington Hn la election of Lincoly Tews on's kitchen for the moment stuck to the General's garments and for this they turned their nasal organ in anether direc: tion and we fear will learn that in smels ling farther for a better they fared worse Cameron sito named Mitchell, but Char ley Wolf thought becauss he and Mitch. ell went Lo school together he could trust him, - . . The National Banks are threatening to withdraw their circulation because con- gress is about to pags the 8 per cent. funds ing bill, by which the country will pay 8 per cent. on a large part of ils indebted: ness. The banks think this measure will not give them as good an opportunity to shave and make money as beretofore Backing has been the most profitable business for 8 good many years, and the people are paying some three million dol- lars every year for the privilege of having the notes of these banks in circulation. If the banks, or a part of them, for spite now withdraw their notes, why of course the people will have corresponding less to pay on interest, besides having a large part of the national debt funded at 3 per cent. The consequences of a withdrawal of notes by the banks would no doubt be s strin- gency in the money markel, or even a panic, for a time, but in the end the paos ple would be the gainers, and the money sharks of the banks find they have cut off their noses to spite their faces. re ——— ——— We hear a report of a case of miscegena~ tion in this valley —~a colored man having been married to a white female. The nuptials were performed by a lceal preacher some six months ago ard the pair have kept it sud rosa until of late, when it became known, the parties not having lived together but are now cohas biting. This is all in accordance with modern politigal ethics, and those who bave advocated the equality of the negro, need not throw up their hands In holy horror that their teachings are bearing fruit, and the disciples of the faith in the lower end of this valley owe to the happy pair their sincere congratulations and we trust will be earnest in extending them their sympathy and support. i qu en The French government bas forbid- den the importation of American pork on account of trichinosis. The effect of this is thus mentioned by the !Chicago News: The effect of the French Goyernment order respecting pork importations, which is similar to a British order in council, but which has no counterpartin the legislation of the Uuited States, has been most disastrous to the holders of pork in this country. The losses it en- tails in this city alone, estimating them on the basis of the decline from the highest point on Friday last to the low- est on Monday, cannot be less than from $3,000,000 to $3,500,000, wo oe Mp esse A bill bas been introduced in the legis. Iature, by Mr. Nebinger, against mutual assessment companies for insuring lives. They need looking after, Messrs. Curtin and Yocum each got their $8,000 allowance by an amendment to the sundry civil bill. The republican leaders seem to have forgotten the lesson of 1874. They are trying to force an extra session of congress and extra sessions of the legislature of two thirds of the states. They are worse than the Bourbons who forgot nothing while they learried nothing. The repubs lican leaders forget what they have been taught and learn nothing from the lessons they hava received from the people. After fattening on the Treusury for years the National banks have entered into a conspiracy to wreck the business of the country rather than to submit to what they concider unfavorable legislation he people will remember this against them. and the day of reckoning is not us far off as they imagine.

ELL'S ELECTION WAS SECURED, Washington, February $8. —The scheme by which John I. Mitchell was chosen Senator from Pennsylvania was planned in Senator Cameron's room at Wermley's Hotel last Sunday. At that time the sen: jor Senator was called upon by Colonel Samuel B. Dick, Horatio Gates Fisher and Russell Errett. Colonel Payne had been seen on Saturday by Mitchell himself, and afler a long interview, in which Mitehel showed that he could himself be nominat- od, Bayne agreed to withdraw if Wolf and the men who had steod by him would consent to support Mitchell, Genera! Beaver was given to understand that his case was hopeless and that it was deemed best to try the next mag ou the slate, who was Mitchell, He was assured that efforts would be made to have him bpamed for Secretary of War under Garfleld, and be gracefully decided to vacate. In the meantime Huge Young, of Tioga, had been working on Wolfe, and led that gen- tleman to believe that if he would support Mitchell it would be a victory of some gort for the independents. The new Senator was in his seal in the House to-day, and he was so little known that the inquiry went round: “Where is this man Mitchell who has been elected Senator from Pennsylvania?’ His pres ence could be detectéd by the steady file of messenger boys who carried telegrams to him as he sat in his accustomed place over in the *‘old maids’ corner’ on the Republican side of the House, About noon he went into the lebby, where he was hardly known, except for the fact that a party of Pennsylvanians stood guard around him. Governor Hoyt came along while Mitchell was there, The Gov ernor congratulated the new Senator, who by this time had repeived notice of his election, Senator-elect Mitchell hold an Infor mal reception at his residence to-night Ten days ago he wended his way home- ward unnoticed and almost alone. But with this sudden stroke of fortune friends bave sprung up by the score. pda mesemne EIGHT PERSONS ouT OF A FAMI-. LY OF TEN PERISH IN THE ‘LAMES, Pitsburg, Pa., February 23, —East Liv. erpool, Ohio, at half-past one o'clock thie morning, a family of eight persons named Sloan were burned to death, About the time stated flames were seen issuing from the four-story frame building owned by Fraok Stewart and occupied as a drug store, feed store, grocery and dwelling, the proprietor of the drug store, William Sloan, with his family, living in the latter portion. As soon as the flames were dis- covered by Mr. Sloan he awoke all, and, telling them to follow, picked up Lis 8-year old daughter and started for the stairs. Tho flames had cut off their retreat by this time, however, and turning to al window he leaped out, telling his wife to, do likewise. It is supposed that before! Mrs, Sloan or the others had time to follow his advice thoy were overcome by the stifling fumes from tho drug store, as not one of them escaped. Thescene abesut the burned building to-day was sorrowful in the extreme, and all that are left of a fam. ily of ten are the father and ono daugh« ter, whom he carried with him when he made the leap, The following is a list of those who perished : Mrs. William Sloan, aged 3! years; Luella Sloan, aged 13; Clande Sloan, aged 12; Lizzie Sloan, aged 11; Alex, Sloan, aged 9; Paul Sloan, aged b; another daughter, aged 18 months, and Wilber Skeels, a brother-in-law of the un- fortunate woman, pn THEBOERSNEARLY ANNIHILATE THE BRITISH.
