Ett HUNTINGDON, PA. Tuesday morning, June 7, 1870 WM. LEWIS ' - }EDITons HUGH LINDSAY, The "Globe" has the largest number of readers of any other paper published in the county. Advertisers should remember this. Editorial Brevities. THE total receipts from the internal revenue for. the fiscal year, will reash $175,000,000. THE $lOO,OOO appropriation for a new expedition to the North Pole has passed the U. S. Senate. A bill for the gradual abolition of slavery was introduced into the Span ish Cortes on Saturday. CONGRESS, it is now eipeeted will bo able to adjourn on July 11—four days earlier than the appointed time. FIVE millions of gold. are to bo sold and eight millions of bonds boUght by Seorotary Boutwoll during June. 4 , WE want, if possible, a thoroughly honest Legislature for 1871," says a cotemporary. To which we say amen. DURING 1867 there were built in the United States 65588 miles of railroad, nearly twice as many as any previous year. THE Sandwich Island Reciprocity Treaty was defeated in the Senate by a vote of 20 yeas to 19 nays—two thirds being necessary to carry it. A colored cadet named Michael Howard is at West Point, He appears to understand the "situation" as well as his.white comrades. WAYNE MoVmatt, son-in-law to Si mon Cameron, has been appointed Minister to Turkey. Hon. E. Joy Morris has held the position for nine years. CONGRESS has agreed thuthenceforth the amount of exemption under the income tax shall be 62000, and the tax on incomes above that amount throe per cent. A shameful slaughter of Jews in Roumania has been perpetrated by the Christians. Our government has been importuned to take some action in the matter, and we hope it will. Two Indian chiefs named Spotted Tail and Red . Cloud are at Washington consulting the authorities with regard to their wrongs and rights. They do not wish their reservations invaded, and prefer to live at peace with the white man. Tux Post office department, under the able management of General Cress well, is getting in a healthy condition —the receipts now bulanCing the ex penses. It is to be hoped the franking privilege will be abolished so that the department will yield a handsome revenue: .THE subject of taxing Government bonds was before Congress last week, Mr. Beck, a Democrat, introduced the amendment, which was debated at come length : Butler favored the scheme together with twenty-nine other Re publicans, while Schenck opposed it. The vote was nays 110 and yeas 78. THE business of appointing Luxuri ous Committees has boon commenced by Congress. The first one appointed is a Senatorial Committee to go with a clerk and Sergeant-at-arms up and down the Mississippi river, to ascertain the peoPlo's views on the levee ques tion— We suppose the clerk will do all the work, while the rest travel at the expense of the Government. This is a piece of extravagance that the people have no delight in, no matter what tho legislators may think. se ‘ One•damaging fact must be re membered by Republicans, that at least nine of every teu, (and perhaps a II,) of the men holding office in and from this county received from Senator Scott and Congressman Morrell, voted with the Democrats last fall and de feated Republican nominees for the Legislature and county offices.. Men acting such a part may bo tolerated in the party but they cannot be permit ted to lead. Mr. Morrell know what the disorganizers' programme was,and he knew that Mr. Scott was at the head of it, and it was his duty as a party man to require his friends to support a party 'ticket. If', Mr. Mor rell had given his influence for the tick. et it would have been elected and the party would now be is a healthy con dition. • A NOTABLE INCIDENT.—The respect of the President for the memory of his fallen comrades, as well as dislike of oven appearanees of ceremonious dis play, were illustrated the other day, on the occasion of the dew)rative cere monies, at Arlington, after a majority of the spectators had left the cemetery. The President and Mrs. Grant procee ded in their carriage to a comparative ly retired section of ground, where the President,llevoted some time to strew ing the graves. movements were remarked, however, by a few lingerers at the graves of departed relatives or friends, and thus the incident became known. "INVISIBLE" at Harrisburg, corres pondent of the Blair Co Badical,writes like a thief,lies like a thief and we have no doubt is a thief, and a oowardly one at that. He is just the kind of a fel low anxious office seekers employ to do their dirty work. TUE dissatisfied ones who would like to leave home and go to the West aro informed that there is already too much migration thither, and many of the Cities, from Michigan to Kansa°, ire full of mechanics and laboring men who can find no employinent, and la bor is cheaper there than in the East. At Humboldt only a few days ago were about a thousand emigrant wag ons filled with crying women and chil dren, whose tears reproach at once the folly of their husbands and fathers and the cruelty of those who bade theta shako off the dust of the East and ad vance upon the West like an army with banners. For the last five weeks the region has been cracked and warp ed by drouth, water can hardly be ob tained, and thus to tho pains of bun• ger are added the intolerable pangs of thirst. Emigrants to the West are re turning in large bands, thankful only that their lives have not been lost.— Kansas is so overcrowded that it is next to impossible for a traveler to find any sort of accommodation, and labor is a drug. Se•Sorno dissatisfaction exists in certain quarters in regard to Sunday Schools and their management; some persons finding fault with the number of young persons employed as teach ers; others denouncing the character of the libraries selected; and one rev creed individual declared himself hos tile to the Sabbath School because the "word is unknown in the Bible," and another pronounced the f t Sabbath School to be "ono of the greatest evils of the time," adding that four-fifths of the convicts in Now York penitentiary were found to have been pupils of the Sabbath School." These arguments show to what extent the denunciators of the Sabbath School have had their eyes opened, and we think they need a better acquaintance with the moral teachings there inculcated before they proceed with their denunciation. raLThe folloWing exhibit of figures obtained at the General Land Office shows the disposition we are making of our public lands : Taken up, 12,201,- 980 acres; granted to soldiers for ser vices prior to the rebellion, 61,076,922 acres; schools, asylums, universities and agricultural colleges, 70,282,787 acres; swamp lands given to States, 47,875,245 acres; granted to States for internal improvements, 12,403,054 acs. saline lands given to States, 514,585 acres; granted to individuals and corn panics, 11,195,567 acres; in aid of ca nals, as above stated, 1,450,000 acres; in aid of wagon roads, 3,782,212 acres; and in aid of railroads, 182,108,581 acres. This shows that 401,890,934 acres have been already disposed of. The publio domain undonated, not in cluding the Alaska purchase, is 1,206,- 756,563 acres. ,Because we are in favor of clear ing the'track of stumbling blocks for the race for Congress next fall, some earnest friends of Mr. Morrell, (at least they want to be so considered that they may be permitted to stay "in" or get "in,") have got their "backs up" at us and think wo should not have any influence with Republicans. If the whole party had taken our advice last year, its "situation" would not now be as uncertain as it is—and it may be worse if a now mail should not be no minated. The Senate. HUNTINGDON, PENN'A , 1 Jane oth, 1870. _ Editors Globe :—My attention has been called to a letter in a late num ber of the Hollidaysburg Register, in which the readers of that—paper aro informed that your humble servant has withdrawn his name as a candidate for the nomination of Senator in this district. This is news to me; I did not know before that my name had been mentioned in connection with such nomination, nor do I know now that it is withdrawn. At any rate, I am as much a candidate now as I was before that letter' in the Register was written. I have always held the doc trine, and hold it still, (and this I sup pose is one reason that I never was much troubled with holding office,) that the office should seek the candi date, and not the eandidato the office ; nevertheless I should esteem it a great honor to be chosen by the people of this district to represent them in the State Senate, and should promise to servo them faithfully and honestly. A nomination to be worth anything at this time must come from the people and be made by them. Politibians and office-seekers may by management suc ceed in fixing up a ticket, but I am very much mistaken in the temper of the, times if the people• at the polls will ratify any such private arrange ments. Respectfully Yours, D. BLAIR. One of the most singular sights growing out of the war is a continu ous line of poach trees of nearly fifty miles in length, around Petersburg, and extending towards 'Richmond. They are growing from the breast works thrown up by the rebel army, and are the only legacy left by the rebels who were on the advance. Hav ing oaten of the fruit while on picket duty, they cast the seed aside, and now they appear in ono continuous line - of forty-five miles of beautiful trees, which yielded an abundant crop the last year. An Ohio quince grower has been very successful for two years past with his fruit. His treatment of the tree is very simple. He spades the ground of his orchard every spring, and scatters a peck of coal ashes around each tree. He finds salt the best manure for the quince, and ap plies about one quart to the ground under each tree after the soil has been spaded, and another quart when the quinces are about half grown. Last year be sold three hundred bushels of quinces from his orchard of throe. fourths of an acre. Letter from Kansas, LIBERTY, MONTGOMERY CO., Kansas. May 23d, 1870. Editors Globe :—From this frontier county, in the spirit of greeting an old friend, do I send you a short commu nication, although for some time I have ceased to cater to the tastes of the "dear reading public." To day, riding along the banks of the Yerdigris river, I was reminded of your—shall I not say our—own beautiful Juniata, save that gracing its banks there were not the long lines of fencing, nor any of the evidences that man had long been plying his arts and arms; only the hut of the squatter, and the in couth wigwams of Indians, now almost deserted, their former occupants hav ing gone on their spring hunt, !caving only some of their squaws to attend the corn or "Squaw potatoes," as the Indians term the meagrely cultivated spots. This is the Mecca to American Pil grims at present. The first white set ter came here a little over one year ago. To day within its borders is a popula tion of at least 10,000 souls. Mon from every State in the Union, nay, almost every country in the world aro hero; the thrifty German and industrious Swede, the glib-tongued Son of Erin, tho witty Yankee, and last and least, the dirty, theiving red skin. Mr. Editor, you cannot conceive the true condition of the "Dime Novel," noble red man without seeing him in his native state, He may be doomed to utter extinction, but never to civil zation. The Quaker agents aro not a success so far as tried here, and are very unpopular with the settlers. They are trying to make house dogs of the Indians, but will learn that the blood hound propensities will never be eradi cated. All those pretty appeals to hu manity over the Baker Massacre thro' eastern papers "go down" like nause ous drugs, to border men, who know the Indian's dog-like traits. I have met hero, many Pennsylvania farmers, who have sold the old home farm, that they might come whore land is cheap, and get "all the boys a place" as they express it. They are in variably pointed out the beet farmers, 'and I found this the case everywhere I have been west. This land has nev er been treated for, yet the claims are all occupied and to-day I stood on an eminence and counted 150 houses scat tered over the prairie as far as oyo could reach, where one year ago not one structure stood. Cattle have suffi cient grazing to support them through out the winter in an ordinary season ; the soil is excellently adapted for ce reals, and the land only awaits devel aprnent by the hard sinewed pioneer farmer to make it an accession to our wealth that will have a realizing ef fect throughout all our broad land. G. C. W. Massaore of Jews. CONSTANTINOPLE ; Juno 1, 2 p. m.—A fearful war of religious intolerance has broken out in the Province of Nomuelia, the Metropolitan Province of the Turkish empire in the south of Europe. For sometime the native Christians have manifested a spirit of fearful vindictiveness against the Jew ish population who have endeavored in vain to obtain from the Govern ment some protection against outrage and extortion. A secret movement has been:in organization for the ox. termination of the inoffensive Jews, and the deep and deadly hatred of the bigoted populace has only been slumbering awaiting a vent for its fury. On Sunday last, by a precon eerted signal the Christian, populace rose and the fearful work of butcher ing was inaugurated. At an early hour the houses of all the Jews were invaded, and those of the occupants who were unable to escape were mas sacred in cold blood. The fleeing Is raelites were pursued through the town by the mob and murdered whereever caught, men, women and children were ruthlessly slain. The fury of the populace was inflamed by religious bigotry, and only exhausted itself for want of victims. In all the principal towns the fearful work of butchery prevailed, and thousands of men, women and children of the re pugnant class were butchered in cold blood. Tho work of slaughter still goes on in the interior, and nothing has been heard yet of any movement by the authorities to suppress it. The reigning Prince is absent from tho province, and advantage was taken of this' to complete the total extermina tion of all Jews from the province. Prince Charles is, hurrying home, and energetic measures will at once be taken by the Sultan •to suppress this religious omeuto. ' Meanwhile the fury of the mob continues unabated, finding fresh victims to glut its inset. late frenzy. • Exploits of a Female Sheriff. An lowa paper gives the following cheering account of the efficiency of a lady sheriff in that State; It is reserved to lowa to produce the first female sheriff, and to Des Moines county to be the first in the State to accord to a woman the diffi cult and trying duties .of the sheriff alty. It is true the people have not formally elected a lady as sheriff of this county, but in so far as practice is bettor than precept,' tho substance superior to the shadow, • and the deed greater than the name, to that extent Des Moines county has a lady sheriff. Of course wo allude to the estimable wife of our worthy sheriff, J. H. Latty, Esq. Mrs. Latty at various times has displayed a remarkable coolness and nerve in the management of the coun ty jail, over which eho presides, with a firmness of judgment and a vigor of rule rarely excelled by the best of prison wardens. At ono time a desperado confined in one of the cells attempted to escape by making a man of straw reclining on his couch as usual, while the flesh and blood prisoner secreted himself in an empty cell and waited the advent of Mrs. Latty, who; in the absence of her husband, entered the jail room to lock up the prisoners for the night:— When she came to the cell containing the man of straw, a very clever imita tion of a man asleep, she called his name, and hearing no response, enter ed and detected the cheat. Instead of calling for help in an emergency which plainly indicated a plot and a determi nation tipon the part of ono or more prisonmis to break jail, Mrs. Latty quickly proceeded to the other cell and marched the prospective fugitive hack to his cell and locked him up. As ho was a heavy, muscular man, and the deputy sheriff a slender, light built woman, it, ie evident that nerve triumphed over, muscle. _ Womanly courage is more than a match for bru tal force and the desperation of a criminal seeking to flee from the bands of justice. On another occasion, two young men in a cell refusing to cease their profane and boisterous language, the deputy entered the cell and gave them a sound flogging with a whip, until, with tears in their eyes, the rascals promised better behavior. The last exploit of our deputy, and one which recalled to our mind the preceding incidents, was the taking of a prisoner to the penitentiary a few days ago. „A. man who bad been ar rested for stealing a carpet bag at the Union depot in this city, last January, was sentenced at the last term of the district court to two years' imprison ment in, the penitentiary, and was taken to Fort Madison by Mrs. Laity alone, without any assistance from others, and duly delivered to Warden Ilelsey. The astonishment of the warden and the Fort Madisonians know no bounds. A Woman Shoots a Burglar. About 11 o'clock last night the resi dence of Dr. Gotchell, No: 1-43(1 Spruce Street, was entered through a back window by a burglar, who succeeded in gathering together a number of silver forks, knives, spoons, wearing apparel, etc. Like "Little Oliver," not satisfied, ho desired more, and ac cordingly commenced ransacking the parlor. At the time-Dr. Gotchell was absent on a visit to one or his patients, and no male adult, other than the burglar, was in the house. Mrs. Got chell, in her bedchamber overhead, hoard • the noise in the par!or, and at once surmised the cause, but not knowing how many or how few per sons were in the house, she for a time kept quiet. At length she determined to brave the danger and make a rccotillGiSSlMCO. Accordingly she quietly made her way down stairs, and approaching the parlor door, which was partially open, discovered but the one person, candle in hand, searching for plunder. Now Mrs. Getcho although a woman, does not lack courage, a quality some would have us believe no woman pos sesses, and finding but one thief in the house she determined to give him bat tle. Making her . way up stairs again, as noiselessly as , she had descended, she secured her, husband's revolver, and once more proceeded down stairs. When near the bottom, the stairway made a squeaking noise, and the thief taking alarm, abed out of the parlor and past Mrs. Getchell. Although the shOck was sudden she remained firm, and coolly taking aim, fired at and wounded the burglar, although whore, or to what extent, is not now known. The rascal kepton,clambered through the window by which he had entered into the yard; then on to a hydrant, then over the fe'nee and escaped. An examination of c the premises showed that the burglitiAad bled profusely, as splotches of the brintson .were discer nible all along the hall way, on the window sill, in the yard, and on the fence. It is unnecessary to add that he secured no plunder• other than the leaden pellet 'which ho carried as a souvenir of Mrs. Getchell's skill as a 'ishootisti"— Philadelphia Tele graph, 3d inst. • Doings of a Rat. Nzw YORK, Juno 2.—A few days since Mrs. Smith, residing in East Brooklyn,was attracted by the screams of a child, sleeping in one of the upper rooms of the house. As she entered the room a large rat sprang from the cradle and made his escape, and Mrs. Smith discovered the child's leg muti lated. A physician was called, but the child sickened and died in' a few days. Mrs. Smith had taken a poor woman to live with her, who bad a child about the same ago as the ono she bad lost. This woman left the child asleep for a short time, and, alarmed by hearing it scream, s he hastened to it, and found the rat just making his escape. He had bitten the child severely in the neck, severing some of the cords. This child, like the other, immediate ly sickened and died.
