FRIDAY MORNING, Feb. 24,1671.
D. A. BUEHLER, Editor and Business Agent.
Advertisers and others Interested will bear In
mind that the regular circulation of the "eras
Awn gearnum" is much larger than that of any
other paper published In the County, being read
weeddy by not less than /1.000 Persona,
LzeisiLATrws.
The Legislature adjourned over on
Friday to Monday the 27th inst., taking
a ten days recess. Before the adjourn
ment Mr. Hereter read in place an Act
granting annuities i d
gratuities to
Barney Bigham and Michael Lauver,
aoldierrof the war of 1512; also a sup
plement to the act incorporating the Lit
itlestown Fire Irisurance Company.
¶The bill in regard to huckstering in
.Adams county was reported from the
committee with a negative recommen
• dation.
The bill in regard to collecting tolls
on the Gettysburg tt York trirnplliie
was also reported with a negative ret
ommendation.
Mr. Duncan read' in place an act 1;16
incorporate the Bendersville railroad
company, for the construction of a rail
road from some point near Gettysburg,
through the valley of Conowago and
Opossum creek, to Bendersville, Adams
county, and the iron mines in the vicin-
Ity. What is under cover of the act
,does not appear, as the journal does not
'deport the names of the corporators.
As we have heard of no agitation of the
project in this quarter, it looks as if
some person was anxious to occupy the
ground, in view of possible future con
tingencies. The people of - Bendersville
would be glad to hear that somebody is
in earnest in this movement.
Petitions in favor of the "local option"
bill are presented in unprecedented num
bers. it is estimated that the petitions
already on file have over 100,000 signa
tures. The House made the bill the
special order for March 1. Bills are
also pending in the House to compen
sate persons injured in person or other
wise by the sale or giving away of intox
icating liquors, and to prevent the sale
of intoxicating liquors on election day,
both of which were made the special
order for March 1.
Mr. Buckalew is vigorously pressing
his cumulative voting principle. He,
at least, is honest in its maintenance
and in favor of applying it irrespective
of partizan majorities. Having success
fully put through the Senate his bill for
the election of School Directors on that
basis, he has introduced two other bills
—one to apply the system of cumulative
voting in municipal elections generally,
and the other in elections for County
Commissioners and County Auditors.
On Friday, Mr. Buckalew, from the
Committee on Constitutional Reform,
reported a new bill for a Convention to
revise the Constitution. It provides
that the question of calling a convention
to revise and amend the constitution
shall be submitted to the people for their
decision on the second Tuesday of June
next, at which time also members for
the proposed convention be voted , for;
and if a majority of the legal voters shall
be in favor of a convention, then the
members chosen shall meet In '• the ball
of the House at Harrisburg, at noon on
the second Tuesday of September next,
and proceed to business, with general
powers otadjournment as to time and
place, and with authority to prepare
and submit to the people all such
changes and amendments of the consti
tution as they Shall think proper.
Mr. Buekalew's bill disregards the
present legislative and senatorial dis-
tricts in the State, in arranging the
election of members of the convention.
Thirty-two members are to be elected at
large, each voter, however, only to vote
for 16. The balaraie of the members
are to be elected in districts indicated
by tlie bill, which seems to be prepared,
with a desire to secure a Democratic
majority. Thus, Somerset, Fulton and
Bedford are given 2; Franklin and
Cumberland get 8; while Adams is
handed over to York, the two getting 3
members. The great difficulty will be to
get a Bill, on an apportionment satis
factory to both parties. As the Senate
is Democratic and the House Repnbli-
Can, there must be mutual concession,
or the movement will fall. And just
here lies the danger. The enemies of
Constitutional Reform, under the guise
of professed friendship, will work to
prevent agreement on any reasonable
bill.
On Friday Mr. Osterhout introduced
a bill in the Senate tocreate a Court of
Appeals for the State, with three
Judges to hold office 15 years, to take
exclusive jurisdiction of appeals, cer
tioraris, &c., in Equity practice, and
requiring certain proceedings now com
menced in common pleas to be origi
nated and prosecuted on the equity side
of the inferior courts. This Court of
Appeals to be distinct from and ad
ditional to the present Supreme Court.
The bill is not likely to go through.
The Senate finally declined to sweetie
to the House resolution for a recess to
Monday the 27th, and adjourned to
Thursday the 28rd. - The House, how
ever, adjourned over to the 27th.
A bill was reported in the Senate
authorizing the Pa. Railroad Company
to purcbase the York, Wrightsville
and Gettysburg Relined, with the
bridge across the Susquehanna at Col
umbia, in which the Pa. Railroad eons-,
pany has now a controlling interest. It .

THERE is no be e down in Gen.
Frank Blair. He made a speech in the
U. States Senate last week, maintaining
the correctness of his celebrated Broad
head letter, which did the Democratic
party so much damage the last Presi
dential campaign. Frank insists that
the party would lniVe "won" on that
programme, but they saw fit to dodge
the real issues, and by a chicken-hearted
policy lost the priie. He is still for war—
wants the reconstruction policy of Con
gress ripped up—don't believe in giving
a burial, decent or indecent, to "detul
%sum" His speech will make a good
Republican campaign document, quite
as effective as his Broadhead letter.
IT lugs been stated that Rev. Father
Farrel, of St. Joseph's Catholic church,
New Pbrk, had been removed by the
Archbishop because of his opposition to
the dogma of Papal Infallibility and his
letterinlavor of Italian unity. The N.
York Tribune says that after confklern
tbst interviews bet Ween the Archbishop
antiAther Farrell, the latter has been
unconditionally motored to the °pastor
ship of St. Joseph's &larch, "without
involVing any formalTecantation on the

Mr. Grevy, a moderate, pnaient Repub
lican, has been elected Prarddent et the
Assembly with much unaminity, and
M. Thiers Executive of the Provisional
Government. M. Thiers is probably
the ablest and most'experienced• states
men in France, besides having a high
reputation as historian and- scholar.
He is 74 years of age, has passed nearly
half a century in active political life,
and has an eminent and wide-spread
reputation for ability and conscientious
ness in the discharge of all the public
duties entrusted to him, which have
been many and difficult. His election
will give general faith in the wisdom
and discretion of the Assembly. In
1838 he resigned his position as the
Premier of Bing Louis Philippe's Cabi
net, and since then has mainly occupied
himself with literary labors, although
in 1851 he was engaged in schemes for
the overthrow of Napoleon and the re
storation of the Orleans dynasty. He
was one of the few Frenchmen who re
garded Louis Napoleon's declaration of
war against Germany uncalled for, and
foreseeing the consequences, he de
nounced it in the Corps Legislatif as a
crime against France. His counsels,
however, were not only unheeded, but
au excited mob attacked his residence
next day. It is thought, that he still
retains his preferences for the Orleanist
dynasty.
M. Thiers has surrounded himself
with a strong and prudent ministry,
representing the more conservative Re
publicans, chief among them being Jules
Favre who, since the fall of the empire,
has been at the head of the Paris Gov
ernment. Picard, Simon, Dufavre, Le
Flo, Pothuan and Lambrecht are the
other members. Gambetta, Rochefort,
and the revolutionary element generally,
are ignored, and herein we have at least
a hopeful aspect for the future of
France—provided, always, that the real
statesmen of France can manage to
sustain themselves as against the mob.
The Provisional Government thus
constituted, will negotiate with Ger
many terms of Peace; after which the
National Assembly will either declare
the future form of government, or sub
mit to a popular vote the question of a
Republic or Monarchy. Although Gam
betta and his colleagues will oppose any
negotiations looking to the transfer of
territory to Germany, the general im
pression is that Thiers and Favre :want
Peace on the best terms that can be
secured—but Peace at any price. Dis
patches from Bordeaux indicate the re
establishment of the monarchy, under
oney*er of the Orleanist Princes.
M. TOO 5 addressed the National As
sembly on Saturday, urging the nece.4 - :`
sity of peace, to enable France to restore
and reorganize her suffering interests.
The terms of peace would be courage
ously discussed with the Prussians, and
would only be accepted if consistent
with the honor of France. He request
ed the appointment of 15 members to aid
in the negotiations, which the Assembly
acceded to. Thiers and Favre left Bor
deaux for Paris, to begin the negotia
tions. Despatches renew the statement
that the German ultimatum is the ces
sion of Alsace, and a part of Lorraine,
including Metz, Thionville, and Belfort,
besides a heavy pecuniary indemnity.
Confidence in peace is still maintained.
THE great "strike" throughout the
Pennsylvania anthracite coal regions has
assumed a new phase. The "Working
men's Benevolent Association," a leg
islative body representing the miners in
the coal regions, and which, with des
potic power, has for years been prescri
bing the terms under which its member
ship shall work and when not toy
work—undertook in November last to
dictate terms to the coal operators,
which the latter declined to accede to
because of the fall in price of coal and
their alleged inability to pay the wages
demanded. Thereupon the Association
ordered a "strike" throughout Schuyl
kill, Luzerne and other coal counties, to
prevent further production of coal until
the market should be depleted, prices
advanced, and the operators be forced
to terms. Finally, the Association
agreed that its members might, go to
work , on the 15th of February, in all
'nines where the operators were willing
to pay the prescribed wages. Coal hav
ing advanced in price, a few of the ope
rators agreed to give the stipulated
wages rather thin have their works con
tinue idle. Jest at this stage an unex- 1
'pected move took place on 'the chess
board. The Lehigh vallei, Beading
and other great coal-carrying roads,
having suffered largely by these
"strikes;' being determined to break
the posielW the Association, at once
put up the tolls froth a . 75 to $7.10 per
ton, until further notice. This is vir
tually laying an embargo on the few
operators who had determined to go to
work, as no coal can be shipped to mar
ket at those rates. The "dead-lock" is
now complete. The idea of these com
panies is to force the miners' Associa
tion to terms. President McGowan, of
the Beading road, says his company
represents a capital of $80,000,000, which
has hitherto been at the mercy of the
few irresponsible men who rule the Asso
ciation and they will no longer submit
to have their interestmthus trilled with.
Whenever the miners and operators
agree to an equitable basis that will jus
tify* general resumption of coal opera
tions, and guard against future unreas
onable strikes, the railroad companies
will put down tolls to a fair schedule.—
It looks much as if the Association will
have to succumb.
SERIOUS difficulties exist in Arkan
sas, growing out of a political quarrel
between Gov. Clayton and Lieutenant
Governor Johnson. The House is with
the latter, and has undertaken to sus
pend the former by preferring articles
of impeachment against him at the bar
of the Senate. The Senate sustains the
Governor, and refuses to go into a trial.
Johnson holds that Clayton was *sus
pended by the simple tiling of articles
of impeachment, and claims to exercise
the office of Governor. Clayton refuses
to surrender and keeps his office guard
ed. Chief Justice McClure undertook
to interpose against Johnson, when the
House replied by impeaching the Chief
Justice also. We do not understand
the origin of the difficulty, but it looks
as if it was a fight of factions for power.
Both sides, at last accounts, were
threatening to call out the militia, and
a serious out-break was apprehended.
President Grant has telegraphed to the
commander of the forces at Little Bock
to preserve the peace.
Tan steamer Tennessee, carrying the
San Domingo commissioners, in regard
to whose safety apprehensions were felt,

Samna Bay in due time, after a rafnd

Tan capital of the nation has just
been making itself redicukkus, by an
attempt to ape the silly customs of some
European capitals. For some time past
great ineparationshaVe been , in progress
at Wasidngtest for a "grand carnival"
and the coming event was heraldedwfill
Imposing progranune. Thecityauthor
ities tell in with the movement, and
Ordered Perinsyltinia Aventie, froirf
the capital grounds to the Treasury
Buildings, to be given up for the
show, which opened on Monday and
continued over Tuesday—the pro
gramme consisting of racing, trotting,
sack races, wheel-barrovi performanees,
masquerades, tournaments, fire-works,
&c. The first day drew a large crowd of
strangers; but the show was so decided
a failure, that the denizens of Washing
ton had the "carnival" pretty much to
themselves on Tuesday. Congress, we
are glad to notice, gave - the thing a
cold shoulder, meeting as usual and
attending to their legitimate business.
A MAN went into the New York
house of representatives the other day
and tried to bribe a member with the
paltry sum of twenty dollais. The
speaker very promptly ordered his arrest
and expulsion, on the ground that the
fellow was insane. The point may have
loi.en well taken,at Albany, where, under
the lavish administration of Jim Fisk
and the Tammany ring, $2O may be re
garded a "paltry sum," and the idea of
Ding a legislator at that figure clear
evidence of insanity. It may be that
the market value of legislators has also
risen at Harrisbarg, but the time was,
when $5 would fetch a halting member,
when nothing better could be done.
Tuz House of Representatives, at
Washington, last week passed an
amend ment 4 to the national election law
of last sessioo, designed more effectually
to prevent frauds at elections for Presi-
dent and Vice President, and members
of Congress. It was adopted by a strict
party vote. It is somewhat "remarkable
that the Democratic party, in Congress
and State Legislatures, should persist
ently place themselves on record as
opposing every measure to preserve the
purity of the ballot, and prevent fraud
and violence at elections.

REVEASIND PONITION-TDE OLD
AND NSW STAVIN,
The Philadelphia Ledger has compiled
a number of interesting tables from the
returns of the new census, which shows,
so far as population is concerned, the rela
tive position of the several States of the
Union. The seven States standing at the
head of the list, rank according to popu
lation as follows: 1, New York; 2, Penn
sylvania; 3, Ohio; 4, Illinois; 5, Missouri;
6, Indiana: 7, Massachusetts. Here we
observe that four out of the seven moat
populous States are "new States;" that is,
they were not included in the original
"thirteen." At the foundation of the
government under the present Constitu
tion, in 1789, the four States then at the
head of the list hi point of population
were 1, Virginia; 2, Pennsylvania; 3,
North Carolinia; 4, Massachusetts. In
making oomparison between the rank of
the leading States of the present, we miss
Virginia. She then stood first, whilst
now (if the State had not been divided)
she would have ranked in the seventh
place; North Carolina, which stood third,
now ranks fourteenth. Eight States
standing at the head of the list of States
contain just one-half of the whole popula
tion of the United States. These are
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois,
Missouri, Indiana, Massachusetts and
Kentucky. It requires the aggregate pop
ulation of the other twenty-nine States to
equal the population of these eight.
The three Pacific States have an aggre
gate population about equal to that of the
city of Philadelphia. The states west of
the Missisippi, including the Pacific
States, have about one sixth of the whole
population of the United States; while the
twenty states immediately situated along
the Atlantic and Gulf shores have nearly
twenty-one millions of people. "The seat
of empire" has therefore not yet left the
Atlantic coast even, much less gone west
of the Mississippi.
PROPOSAL TO PURCHASE THE BRITISH
NORTH AMERICAN CoLowrics.—A.despatch
to the New York Pst from Washington
says: The question of bringing before the
British High Commissioners the proposi
tion for purchasing a part, if not all of the
British territory on • this Continent, has
been the subject of much discussion
among the leading Republicans and sup
porters of the Administration. Reny
different schemes have been discussed in
all their bearings, together with the pro
priety of taking at the present time any
steps having for an object the expansion
of our territory.
It is not doubted by some of our best in
formed as to the intention of the United
Stites High Commissioners that a proposi
tion of some sort will be 'made for the
purchase of a part of the British territory—
probably that part lying on the Pacific
Ocean—in order, if for no other purpose,
to ascertain the feeling of the British peo..
ple on the &litter of disposing of the
possessions on this side of the' Atlantic
Ocean.
It may be regarded as somewllisignill
cant that a majority of the members of
the Foreign Relations Committee in the
Senate favors such purchase. Mr. Sum
ner, perhaps, goes further than any mem
ber of the committee. He has already
addressed a letter to Mr. Fish on this sub
ject, in which be favors negotiating with
Great Britan, through the High Commis
sioners✓ for the purchase of all her territo
ry in North America, including the is
land belonging to that country in the
West Indies, so that the British Sag will

accordingly assembled; but instead of
listening to Mr. Ayrton, placed one of his
opponents in the chair, who thereupon
„caused to be read the following resolution:
"That, in the opinion of this =Wng,
the great and important interests of this
large constituency have been lamentably
neglected and wilfully slighted by oar
senior member, Mr. Ayrton, and that his
conduct to the electors of the Tower Ham-
lets has even been unbecoming and inso
lent, and generally that his rude, coarse
demeanor, both in and out of Parliament,
has made the borough of the Tower Ham
lets a by word through the United King
dom. This meeting, therefore, calls upon
Mr. Ayrton to resign into the bands of the
electors the trust which be has so disgrace
fully violated."
This resolution was then adopted
amidst general applause, And poor Mr.
Ayrton, who had till then.been accustom
ed to make rough speeches, but not to

THE MIIiIIOIII 911•41.W1V1C.
Intemperance is slaying its victims in
equal degree with the sword. Can yoti '
legislate against lids evil ? The legal
right to do so cannot be disputed, as lines
already exist intended to restrain, but so
framed as to deter prosecutors. We are
justified by law in preventing, by force,
the suicide from applying the rasor to
his own throat, or from administering to
himself` a speedy poison; and punishment
is prescribed for administering quick
poison to another, and he who prevents
such a crime is protected. The principal
is the same, whethOr applied to speedy or
slow poison. It devolves on you, as
statesman, to consult the best interest of
the people, and instead of being accessor
ries to crimes, through legislation, to ele
vate humanity and bleu your country; to
enrich and not to impoverish; to save life
and not to destroy. Adopt the word
"Progress," bit let it not be to ruin. Let
it be true moral progress, leading at least
to material blessings. Put an end to the
licensed sale of poison, stop the flood-gates
of intemperance, and save the land from
desolation.
Goys:axon MoeLuao, of Missotui
Prohibitory legislation only seeks to
prevent public mischief. It dopa not at
tempt to dictate what we shall drink
more than the laws against the sale of
diseased, poisonous or otherwise unhealth
ly articles of food dictate what we shall
eat. In both cases, the laws are against
the sale, not the eating or drinking. The
hers of prohibition upon brothels, gamb.
:ling houses, impure books and pictures,
'houses of ill fame, tippling shops, all rest
upon the same principle, namely, that
these trades are inconsistent with the pub
lic welfare. No man can rightfully claim,
that trade so injurious in its effects should
be permitted to exist for his profit or Ac
ton:iodation.
GovEason PERHAIi t of Maine
Da. PAVL Elarourra, who is now in jail
at Carlisle, Pi., awaiting a day to be set
by Governor Geary for the execution of
the sentence of death upon him for the
murder of Miss fitinnecke, of Baltimore,
has made a deed of assignment of her
Property, which he alleges she willed to
him. ' Vre property is valued $ 7 40 00 ;
$ 8 9, 01 4-0f which he gives for the erection
of a idistital at Carlisle, and 111,000 to
German Lutheran Church. As the will
was proved at the trial to be a forgery,
Schoeppe's donations do not amount to
much, except to create sympathy for him,
for which purpose they wore probably In
tended.
Priss.—How uncomfortable are itching
piles? How terribly painful are internal,
external or bleeding piles! Brigg's unri

known to fall, when used according to
direction.

sideration stands in Denver, in its princi
pal street, and upon one of its most con
spicuous and desirable sites. Located
within the very heart of trade, it announ"es
itself with all the assurance of a
mate business, and its claims to patronage
are responded to in the most liberal man
ner. It enjoys an immunity from espion
age unaccorded to kindred establishments
in the eastern states, and its scope and
publicity are as untrammeled as if its ef
forts were devoted to the best interests of
the community. Admission into it in
volves neither the scrutiny of faces nor
the traversing of dark passages. One
simply opens the door as though entering
an ordinary house, and, with a single step
he is in the midstof an extraordinary scene.
The room is very large and its sides are
lined with tables. The proprietor, from
a spirit of accommodation, restricts each
table to a distinct game; so that there are
as many different games going on at once
as there are tables in the room. Conse
quently, the peculiar tastes or preferences
of every one wishing tc play may be indul
ged, and an individual has only to take
his choice, and he forthwith pays his mon-
ey. Then the assemblage gathered hem !
One might fancy he had dropped into a
Bill Sykes brotherhood. Nowhere in any
civilised portion of the earth could there
be a more repulsive collection of physical
ly sound human beings discovered. It is
a conclave of unkempt, hard-featured
brutalized creatures, cursing and braw
ling, and making the place a very penfold
of the lowest beasts.
The room is disgustingly foul; it could
hardly be otherwise, considering the occu
pants. The croupiers, or dealers, are cor
respondingly begrimed; and the tables, ig
noring the aesthetic combination of orna
ment and utility subserve the latter pur
pose solely, and are in keeping with the
general filth. In fact, to an observer
whose habits of life have associated him
with cleanliness and decency, this den,
this hole has all the attributes of a pig
pen, add exhibits numberless other char
acteristics which poverty of language Pre
clude a description of.
The dealers are eminently fitted for the
positions they occupy. Did any of them
ever experience a disposition toward the
honest callings of life, I am confident that
under the most favorable 'circrunstanoss
such vagary could be nothing more than
momentary and spasmislic. They look as
though they had been intended for a Aso—
mission; and that mission they are fulfil
ling to the best of their ability. I noticed
one in particular: he was plying his voca
tion as eagerly as the greediest, and yet I
don't recollect ever seeing a more thor
oughly weary expression than was on his
face. He was forty years of age, or there
abouts, and his exhausted appearance
told what crowded years they had been.
He was as thin ass skeleton, and his arms,
which the shirt sleeves, turned back to
facilitate the working of his cards, discles
ed to the elbows, were all but fied4ss„
and were marked by deep blue veins that
seemed swollen to their utmost tension.
His face was cadaverous, and his eyes,
though bright, ram shockingly protruded.
He was in the last stages of consumption,
and a terrible cough—parcntyrans of which.
occasionally dehyed the game—was rapid
ly tearing him to pieces. That the 'hug
giss wouldn't Wet much longer his wan
and worn-out look made unmistakably
evident. Still, this unhappy being, on
the brink of the grave, with the hand of
death already upon him, was as keenly
alive to the tricks of-lais trade as if a long
and jocund life were to be the reward of
his thieving; and ealionaly aunt of
his inrpendiug fate, with heart and aonl
in the effort, he was busily employing the
last moments of his existence here in se
curing for himself that which we
are told awaits the the life
to come.
It was past midnight when we left the
hall. During the time we were there
none of those thrilling occurrences took
place, which books and publiehed letters
lead us to suppose transpire for the edifi
cation of sight seeing travellers; nor
among the incidents that I heard narrat
ed concearning the spot, do I recall any of
more than usual horror. But as I issued
from that room flied with its heartless
Plunderers and*.narling, itibborn,and

from the valley up at the mountains
where was hidden the treasure which bad
called these men together, a fancy came
ever mrs that mow the canons and the
gulches, so gloomy with night's shadows
upon them, there lay whitening the bones
of many a man who would now be living
but for the irresistible chirping of, the
