THE BEDFORD AND BRIDGEPORT
RAILROAD
" Does this road pay ?" "No 1" "Well,
what is to be done with it ?" That is just
the question we desire to discuss for a few
moments. What we have to say we urge
the stockholders to weigh carefully, and j
to discuss with their neighbors.
It is well known to all the stockholders,
that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
at great expense, by the most audacious
tactics, known only to the railway frater
nity, seized this route and held it with an
iron grasp, lest some road might reach for
ward and tap the Pittsburg and Connells
ville railway and thus secure a rival road
from the eastern cities to the West. And
when some of us thought that we had out
flanked it and secured Bedford the adjan
tage of competition be tween the natural
enemies—the Baltimore and Ohio and the
Pennsylvania—through the duplicity of
Hon. John Cessna, the paid attorney of
Morrell, Wood & Co., all our hopes were
blasted, and the Bedford and Bridgeport
railroad sunk down to a mere connecting
link between the Broad Top and Cumber
land and Pennsylvania railroads. There
It is to-day, not even paying expenses, if
we are correctly informed, let alone paying
the interest on its bonds. The great coal
trains, aggregating millions of tons, which
we were promised, have gone the way of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railway and the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and with the
exception of a few straggling trains, in the
winter season, no one is enriched very
much by conveying the George Creek
coal to market, by the opening of this
route.
The idea is a failure. The Pennsylva
nia railroad can have very little if any
further use for the "Sixteenth Division"
in the future. The New Constitution has
swept away, as if it were chaff, the dog
in the manger policy, and capitailsts, who
may deem it advisable, can build a road
along side of the great•"B. & B," nor can
Mr. Cessna or Wood, Morrell & Co. inter
fere with their good intentions, if it is not
deemed advisable to let them. The ground
is open to the million and the dog is dead
in the basket. now what is to be done
with it ? There is only one way to get rid
of it, and that is to lease it to one or other
of the railroads with which it connects.
By this means it could be run with com
paratively little additional expense, and
might be readily made to pay. And we
have no hesitation in saying that the
Broad Top Railroad Company is the prop
er party to lease it. Whether it would do
so, we are not informed, but certainly it is
more interested than either of the other
lines, and could run the B. & B. to much
better advantage. We hope the stock
holders—who may, some of these bright
mornings, if nothing is done, find their
shares not worth anything save for shaving
paper—will agitate this matter, and, per
haps (?) something may come of it.
Shall the "B. A; B." be leased to Broad
Top .?

DEt. The new Election Law will be
found on the outside of this issue of the
JOURNAL. It makes many important
changes and should be generally read.--
Let our readers give it a careful perusal.
We have no doubt that it will very much
improve our elections. There was entirely
too much latitude in the old law. Rascals
found it a very ecnvenient instrument for
their purposes. The new law will do in
justice to no one who will carefully inform
himself of its provisions and pay due res
pect to them. If a voter desires to vote
be must see that he goes through the no.
cessary steps to put himself within the
rules of law.

UPRIGHT PUBLIC SERVANTS-
SENATOR SCOTT,
EDITOR
It is gratifying to find a purer political
feeling growing up everywhere throughout
the country. The hold which partisanship
so long had upon the actions of individuals
is relaxing; and something more is need
ed to secure willing service than the force
of party discipline.
During the dark days of the war our
country presented the sublimest examples
of patriotic sacrifices, and also the most
despicable instances of corruption and vil
lainy. While the gallant soldiers were
struggling in the field, the cavil offices were
largely controlled by adventurers and spec
ulators, whose loud professions of loyalty
brought rich reward. The demoralization
of war followed its conclusion, and bad
men in high places brought disgrace on
communities and States. The patience of
the people became exhausted, and the of
in notable instances were driven
from power, and even subjected to impris
onment. A general outcry fbr reform was
raised, and men gave up party allegiance' in
the hope of securing honesty in public ser
vants. Attempts are made by Constitu
tional enactments to prevent the rascality
which has grown so common among the
men who make and administer the laws.
We rejoice to see this turning of the
public mind towards the subject of purify
ing the political atmosphere, and we ex
pect good results eventually. A marked
triumph has just been obtained in the
selection of a Chief Justice. Party organs
dared to speak out in bold utterances
against nominations they deeni unworthy,
and party caucuses even acted with manly
independence. The majesty of the people
is beginning to be recognised; and the day
is rot far distant we believe, when our
public men will be as distinguished for
their personal purity as were the fathers.
We do not belong to that class who hold
to the degeneracy of race; on the other
hand, we think that virtue and intelligence
are becoming more-diffused, and that "the
thoughts, of men are widened with the
process of the suns." It is not that we
have not worthy men to serve us ; but that
the people have been too intent upon their
chosen pursuits and have left the manage.
ment of political affairs to the care of a set
of willing servants, who make the public
interests subserve their own. In this State
an unusual interest is awakening, and we
I have great hopes that in the future our
purest and best men will come forward to
take part in the political arena. This is
the duty of every good citizen. Pennsyl
vania is looked to by the sister States to
advance in the honest work. We must
send good men to our Legislature, must
elect our best men to Congress, and have
the State represented in the U. S. Senate
by honorable and faithful citizens.
And we would express our gratification
at the high position in the respect of the
people of this Commonwealth, and Of our
common country, occupied by Hon. John
Scott. Calumny has not ventured to sully
hia fair fame. He has borne himself
through his term with true senatorial dig
nity, honoring his State no less than him
self. He has been one of the most indus
trious of the Senators, serving ably on the
most important committees, and command.
ing the esteem of his fellow members for
his private virtues and his political fidelity.
Without the brilliancy and rhetorical abili
ty of some of his confreres; we believe for
the solid, substantial qualifications' for his
position, he is the peer of any in the Sen
ate chamber. His legal attainments are of
a high order; he is judicious and thought
ful, attentive to his duties and prompt and
decided in his act-ions; serving no master,.
but ardent and jealous in his republicanism
which be recognizes as the saving faith of
the Republic and as the political organiza
tion that has worked more good to man
kind than had been hitherto achieved in
our nation's history. No Senator from
Pennsylvania has conferred more honor
upon the State. Chosen solely for his
worth, he has fully justified the choice.—
The reasons that led to his selection will
operate to retain him. It is the habit of
of the States to continue acceptable Sena
tors in their place. This is wise. Thetrain
ning of one term makes them more efficient
in succeeding terms, and increases their in
fluence and power. The vantage ground of
six years' experience in the Senate is im
mense to a man in every way so worthy as
Senator Scott.
We trust the people of our Legislative
and Congressional districts may be careful
in their choice of candidates next fall.—
Let them choose for themselves. Let them
ignore rings and combinations of all kinds.
Let them select their public servants as
they would their privateagents, and we
will hear less of plunderers and scoun
drels,—Chambersburg Repository.
mg& A Philadelphia paper states that a
bill for the equalization of bounties will
be reported toongress at an early day,
probably on the basis of the bill introduc
ed last year, which proposed to give a uni
form bounty of eight and-one-third dollars
per month to every officer or private who
had served at any time either in the regu
lar or volunteer service between April 15,
1861, and April 15, 1855, the bounty pay
ments already made to be deducted, and
the benefit of the provisions to be extend
ed to the widows or other heirs of dead
soldiers. This •is ail very pretty and
patriotic; but we should like to know
where the money is to come from. An
"equalization" of bounties in the manner
proposed would cost close in the neighbor
hood of three hundred millions of dollars
—the simple statement of which factshould
be sufficient to show the utter impractica
bility of the plan.
es,„ The following passage from the
New Constitutional az ticle on suffrage, may
be profitably kept for general information
and reference : "No person shall be qual
ified to serve as an election officer, who
shall hold, cr shall within two months have
held any office, appointuteht or employment,
in or under the Government of the United
States, or of this State, or of ally city, or
county, or of any municipal board, com
mission or trust in any city, ewe only
Justices of flee Peace and Aldermen, Vota
ries Public, and persons in the militia ser
vice of the State."
SENATOR SCOTT AND THE TEN
PER CENT. REDUCTION OF
DUTIES.
The statement has - been. made in several
journals that the act of June 6, 1872, re
ducing duties on foreign imports ten per
cent. was not seriously opposed in either
House of Congress. This is a mistake.—
We can name at least ane leading Senator
who opposed its passage—Senator Scott of
Pennsylvania. On the 27th of May Mr.
Scott protested earnestly against the re
duction, and warned the Senate of the con
sequences that would follow the adoption
of the proposition. Because the Senate
insisted upon the reduction being made,
Mr. Scott and Mr. Chandler of Michigan,
voted against the final passage of the tax
and tariff bill. Mr. Scott's objections
were to the effect that the proposed re
duction was "simply a question of labor ;
there is where the reduction is to come."
He said further :
"I wish the Senate to be warned that
but one of two results can follow from this
reduction, either utter prostration and ruin
or the reduction of the price of labor; and
if the Senate and the party with which I
have the honor to act are ready for either
of these results, I want them to look for
ward to the filet that they arc preparing
the way to bring them about. Ido not
wish to be responsible for the results that
are to follow this reduction. Looking to
Pennsylvania, speaking for it, I shall not
hold myself responsible for the results
which will follow from this reduction and
those who vote for this reduction must be
ready to take the consequences which do
follow ; for I tell you Mr. President, upon
this question of labor (for it is that only)
we are snore interested in that State, both
physically, if I may so speak, or pecuniarily
and politically, than Senators perhaps
dream of."
POSTAGE ON COUNTY PAPERS.—The
Postmaster General, in a communication
to the Senate, last week, makes the follow
ing sensible recommendation in regard to
the free transmission of county papers
through the mails. Ire says :
"There is one restriction, however, which
he never advised, and which, in hisopinion,
might be safely removed, and that is the
provision which forbids free transportation
of weekly newspapers within the counties of
their publication, as heretofore authorized
by law. The ground on which this recom
mendation is made is. first, that such pa
pers are so evenly distributed over the en
tire extent of the country, and confined to
lines of transit so short that they never
have been known to impede the distribu
tion and transportation of mails, and sec
ondly , that the amount of postage levied
upon them, as at present collected, whilst
affording butof a, trifling revenue to the de
partment, is yet heavy enougli to be severe
ly felt by proprietors and patrons, and to
obstruct the dissemination of local intelli
gence. Good,reasons may also be given in
favor of a free exchange between newspa
pers."

CONGRESSIONAL WORK.
A large number of important measures are
now before Congress, but during the past
week very few of these were finally disposed
of by both Houses. The very considerable in
crease in the membership of the House of
Representatives, and the fact that many of the
new members have had, up to their election,
little or no experience in public life, are se
rious impediments to the dispatch of business.
Men are sent to Congress who have no settled
convictions on any of the great questions that
are brought before them for consideration ;
others consider themselves well informed and
fully competent to enlighten their peers, and
who occupy no small portion of the time in
debate, only to expose their own ignorance of
the merits of the question under consideration.
There is a growing impression in the minds
of the thinking pertion of the Members that a
smaller representation in Congress would
subserve the interests of the country better
and with more dispatch, and,itis now improb
able that measures will be brought up for
consideration, before the close of the present
Congress, with a view to securing a material
reduction of the number of members in the
House of Representatives. The English Par
liament, it is true, is composed of 658 Mem
bers ; but it is also'true that they receive no
pay, and rarely, on ordinary occasions are
more than twenty-five per cent. of the Iletn
bcrship in their seats. In fag,t there are not
ever four hundred seats in the Commons, and
no assignment of desks is made to any of the
members, to hold through the session. The
business of the session is done by a few work
ing members, while the others are among their
friends io the city, or at home upon their
estates.
ANOTHER LNVESTIGATION ORDERED,
There is a lively quarrel between the Board
of Public Works, of Washington, and a por
tion of the tax-payers. The latter have pre
ferred serious charges against the Board, and
in a memorial to Congress have asked for a
full and impartial investigation. Governor
Shepard, who was Commander in Chief of the
Board until be was appointed Governor to
sueceed H. D. Cook, who resigned a few days
before the failure of himself and brother, has
presented a counter memorial, informing Co
ngress that the memorialists are not entitled to
a hearing, or certainly not to have a commit
tee of investigation appointed. However,
Congress has appointed a joint committee of
both !louses, and an investigation will be
commenced forthwith. W. W. Corcoran, one
of our largest real estate owners, published a
letter, ou Thursday, in the Baltimore Sun, in
reference to this controversy, the following
quotation from which will afford the readers
of the JOURNAL an insight into some of the
points in the controversy. He said:
"On Friday last there was presented to the Sen
ate a memorial of the Governor of the District,
who, as stated, ''in cgMapOil with other officers of
this District," had been arraigned eq eharfies
made by "certain pretended taxpayers,"
..That memorial it is not my purpose to notice
except so far as the statements made therein may
affect me. To show that I am defiantly refusing
to pay my taxes, it is stated that I, as one of the
largest property holders, have 'personally paid
nothing on account of the improvements against
which I protest, in defiance of the law of Congress
approved February 21, 1871, providing that upon
the prsporty adjoining and to be especially bene
fited
shall
he
y theiostn
oveents Authorized by
. la, there
assessed a reasonable proportion of the
cost, not exceeding one-third part thereof. To this
document is appended an exhibit of assessments
imposed for improvements, pretended to have been
made under said act, of $27,326.41 still due by
me."
~ T would state here that I am unequivocally in
favor of the real and substantial improvement of
this District, and every part thereof, and that at
no time have I used either !fly means or influence
in opposition thereto. But as emphatically de
cline to allow my honest convictions as to the man
ner in which the work has been done in this Dia
-1 trict to be stifled by the only reply that has as yet
been attempted to be made, and that the flimsy one
that no objection or examination should be made
on account of the beautifying work that has been
done, and because such course will defeat appro
priations by Congress."
"The act quoted by the official who presented the
memorial provides that a reasonable proportion of
the cost, not exceeding one-third, shall be assessed
upon the property adjoining and especially bene
fited by. the improvements authorized by law.—
Under this act pertain laws have been passed by
our local Legislature pro, for fllprovetnents."
"It is the opinion of many (and no ociirt, as I
am advised, l,n as yet decided to the contrary)
that the operations conducted thereunder have not
been in compliance with the organic act, and one
of the principal reasons that no such decision has
been roado is that the law officers of oar District
have interposed teptinipal ohjections which have
prevented a full hearing by the court.'
"Time alone can furnish the cireiltntagegs upon
which a standing in court can he obtained in ink,'
of these WPM'
“The mode in which this work has bocn done,
the absence of competition, the Loot that the
prices were fixed by the Board of Public Works,
and the work given to be done by }arsons of its
own choosing; the large bills that have been pre
sented in all quarters for an inconsiderable pro
portion of the work done, give rise to a well
grounded suspicion, at least, that the assessment
upon adjoining
property has been upon an exces
sive cost for the whole' work. This work has been
inn great degree improperly done, the charge for
the same often double its value, and the system of
assessment in a high degree onerous, in some
cases amounting to more than the value of the
property."
°While the useless changes in'the grades of some
of the streets, and particularly . Georgetown and
on its principal thoroughfares, where in some pla
ces filling up and cutting down has been made to
the extent of almost thirteen or fJurteen feet, and
that too against the almost unanimous protest of
all interested, shows the arbitrary conduct of those
under whose direction this work has been done."
'-The tax for this work is a burden sufficiently
onerous, but when there is added thereto the much
larger cost of adapting the houses to these new
grades, the wonder is how persons of moderate
means will be able to meet these charges, without
relief from the courts, or assistance from Congress
in a way that will provide for the debt now exist
ing,g. The home will in many cases have to be sold
and I need not tell you that that work has even
now begun."
The House Committee on appropriations
are vigilant in their efforts to cut down.appro
priations. During the past week all the audi
tors of the Treasury department and the com
missioner of customs were beard with refer
ence to the present condition of the work in
their respective bureaus; the clerical force
employed, and how it compares with the num
bers employed prior to the war. Most of these
officials took the ground that to reduce the
clerical force of their offices would tend to de ,
stroy the efficiency of the public service.
Judge Martin, sixth auditor of the Treasury,
indicated that, in view of the increase
of business pertaining to his bu-ean, he
would be constrained at an early day to
recommend an increase of at least twenty ad
ditional clerks.
Judge J. W. Wright, who was appointed
agent of the Cherokee Nation, several years
ago, is now on trial, under charges of defraud
ing the Indians out of large sums of mosey.
Quite an array of witnesses are called all the
way from the Indian Territory and from other
parts. The trial creates much interest in the
city, as the Jade is a resident here. After
his return from the Indian country the Judge
put tip some fine buildings in the city, one of
which is rented to the Government for SlO,OOO
a year
PROTECTION FOR THE INDIANS.
The House Committee on Indian Affairs, on
Friday, agreed to report a bill to make it a
penal offence to cheat or defraud an Indian,
or to fraudulently obtain his signature or
mark to a receipt far money, which has not
been fully explained to him. The main object
of the bill is to protect the Indian from swin
dling agents who impose upon them by taking
advantage of their ignorance and confidence,
and grow rich at their expense.

SWINDLES.
Out of the million of people who make up
the population of this great Babel, fully Jone
hundred thousand live on the labor of others
—that is to say, are thieves of one sort or
another. The worst of these are the advertis
ing thieves, for while they steal, they do it in
such an ingenious way as to escape the penal
ties of the law. The history of. one or two of
them may not be uninteresting.
"G. R. Murray & C 0.," is a good name. Well,
G. R. M. & Co. advertise that they possess
$1,500,000 of watches, pianos and jewelry,
which they will "distribute" by lot at one dol
lar for each ticket. You are invited to send
twenty-five cents to these benevolent gentle
men, receiving therefor a ticket which de
scribes the prize you are entitled to. You send
your twenty-five cents and you do get a ticket
like this:
"MERCANTILE PRIZE ASSOCIATION."
"Certificate No. 22733."
"This certificate when accompanied by one
dollar, (and fifty cents for packing), entitles
the holder to one Silver-Hunting Cased Watch,
valued at $l5 00. State how you wish it sent..
Now send $1 50 and what happens. Noth
ing. You never hear of it again. And as
these fellows get letters by the bushel, every
one of which contains money, it is not diffi
cult to suppose that they live in clover.—
Their office is, in one advertisement, in one
place ; in another, another, so that victims jn
search of them never find them. The police
get after them, but they change their style so
frequently that it is impossible to catch them.
The fellows who are to-day doing business
over the name of G. R. Murray & Co.. have
within a year been known as the United States
Tontine Association, of 23 tark Row; as Nor
ton, Quinn & Co., 212 Broadway; as Holliday,
Lewis & Co., of 23 Park Row ; as Walter B.
Turner & Co., of 746 Broadway; as H. IL Brid.
dle & Co., 50 Broad street ; as Chester V. Dud
ley & Co, of 34 New street ' • as Alvah Young,
of 205 Broadway ; as Edward Seville & Co., of
34 New street ; as Oswald West & Co., of 46
Broad street ; as S. Soloman & Co., of 134 Nas
sau street ; and as Gilbert Putnam & Co., of
64 Broadway. But ingenious as the gentlemen
are the last two months has developed a more
GORGEOUS SCOUNDRELISIE
The only expense attending these swindles
is the advertising, and how to dodge them has
been the question with them. Two of these
thieves assumed the name of "Kirkwood d;
Beach, Advertising Agents,"- and issued an
order to the newspapers of the country, ad
vertising a dozen or more of bogus articles,
under a dozen or more different names, the
price of which was always to be sent by mail
to the P. 0. Bax designated. To seduce the
publishers of the country these villains boldly
referred to A. T. Stewart, C. A. Dana, and
Jas. Gordon Bennett, of New York, to M. Hal
stead, of the Cincinnati Commercial, and D. R.
Locke, of the Toledo Blade. As their offer to
the papers were liberal, and their references
unexceptionable, hundreds of papers publish
ed their advertisements, and immediately
cords of letters came to the different parties
named, all of which Kirkwood do Leach took
out of the Post-Office and appropriated, of
course.
As a matter of course the newspapers pub
ishing the advertisements will never get a
cent; those who send money to the various
addresses will never get what they send for ;
in short the only people who get anything ate
the ingenious scoundrels who assume the fitm
name of "Kirkwood & Beach." When will
people learn wisdom ? When will people
learn that a dollar is a dollar, and, when a
man proposes to give two dollars for one, that
he means a swititle and there is a swindle nn
der it. May I impress on your readers this
important maxim : Never send money to any
person whom you do not know. Is it a medi
cal prodigy? There is no physician in the
great pities who knows a particle more than
do your own practitioners. is it a piano,
watch or diamond distribution ? These goods
hhve a fixed value in the market, and if any
one has them there is no earthly use of mak
ing a sacrifice to dispose of them. In short,
a little common sense is all that is necessary
to protect a person from these swindlers. Do
good people, who read these lines, use a little
common sense and save your money.
cinefous aopippr
It has been discovered that the uper-crust
criminals in the tombs have organized a so
ciety for mutual defense. By upper crust I
mean the big thieves, the burglars, the for
gers and murderers. They contribute so
much each to a fund for defending each in his
turn, and a fixed sum which goes to the fami
ly of the one convicted and sentenced. This
is go-operation in a new direction. But why
not? Ornne is a regular trade with all the
rules and regulations that other trades have.
POLITICAL INCIDENTS.
The Democracy of Brooklyn arc made of
the same material as their brethren of New
York. At a primary meeting in the Nineteenth
Ward, a return was handed in signed by a man
earned Cunningham. A man at the end of the
wom cried out, PI dpn't believe dlr. Cloning.
ham signed that return," whereupon fir. Cun.
ningbam jumped to his feet and daclared that
he had signed it. The voice from the end of
the room quickly retorted, "Paddy Cunning
ham didn't sign it. Paddy Cunningham can't
write his name ; I have a document in my
pocket to which his mark is affixed."
At the meeting of the General Committee
amusing incidents were related of rooms in
which voting was being carries: on, being
cleared by force, and the ballot-boxes stuffed
to suit the muscular majority. At the Nine
teenth Ward primary the voting was brought
to an abrupt termination by cutting off the
gas. Democracy is the same now that it al,.
ways was.
It is a noticeable fact that the churches of
Nov York are almost bare of women twice

BUSINESS
continues to improve. Collections, we are
assured by one of our largest dry goods houses,
are very much better this year than they were
last. So far, in this month ofJanuary, in the
house referred to, the collections are at the
rate of seven per cent. better than in January,
1873. This result upon old obligations is cer
tainly both favorable and hopeful. The fact
is the panic of last fall had no reality in it.
It had no bottom, and should have affected
nothing. But men got frightened, and it took
just so long a time far them to get over their
fright. They are over it now and business
goes on as usual.

flAnßrssußG, Feb. 7, 1874.
The Senatorial and Representative appor
tionment is still a secret, but the committee
has reported the following Judicial apportion
ment.
[See districts in another colnmn.] -
This apportionment will make 15 more
Judges than at present exist. The Governor
is authorized to appoint these additional
Judges, and until he does so the present Judg
es will hold their positions.
SALARIES 01 , JUDGES,
The House has been busy with the discus
sion of the salary question. Mr. Ramey, of
Indiana, moved to amend the bill as it came
from the heads of the Committee by making
the salary of Chief Justice seven thousand dol
lars instead of nine; of Associate Justice,
seven thousand instead of eight; of Common
Pleas Judges of Philadelphia and Allegheny
five thousand instead of seven ; and of other
Judges four thousand instead of five, except
ing the Judge of Dauphin county who is to
receive six thousand, another amendment to
allow the Judges mileage made the amendment
substantially the same as the present law.
The friends of the increase ofJudicial sal
aries were too strong for the opposition party
and the amendment was detested by a pretty
decided vote. It was argued against this
amendment that it was both unjust and un
constitutional. Unjust for the reason thatthe
Common Pleas Judges of Philadelphia sit al
most continually the year round while the
country Judges are occupied with duties per
taining to their offices only". small portion of
the time. Unconstitutional for the reason
that the New Constitution provides that
"nothing contained in this Constitution shall
be held to reduce the compensation now paid
to any law Judge of this Commonwealth, now
in commission." The amendment was ably ad
vocated by Messrs. Wolf, Orvis and others.
When the bill comes up for further considera
tion other and successful amendments will
probably be offered.
TRAINING COMMON SCHOOL TEACHERS.
A bill has been offered in the House to pro
vide for the due training of teachers for the
Common Schools of this Commonwealth.
The bill provides that Normal school dis
tricts shall remain as they are, and where
there are none they shall be established. The
preduniary affairs of these institutions are to
be regulated by a board of 18 trustees, 12 to
be elected by the stockholders and the other
6 to be appointed by the Superintendent.
That all appropriations to Normal schools
shall be distributed by a commission consist
ing of the Governor, the State Superintendent
of Common Schools and the Attorney General.
That a meeting, of the principals of• the
several Normal Schools throughout the State,
for the purpose of fixing upon a general course
of study and arranging other matters within
their jurisdiction, shall be called, at Harris
burg by the State Superintendent, whenever
be deems it necessary, or upon request made
by three principals of Normal Schools.
COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE AT SCHOOL,
A bill is now in the hands of the Houser
Committee on Education relative to compul
sory attendanCe of children at school. It pro
vides that every person having a child under
his control shall be required to send that child
to school at least 12 weeks in every year B of
which are to be consecutive or failing to do so
shall pay into the school treasury a sum not
exceeding $2l. Provided however, that this
law shall be null and void in rases of poverty,
or where the child has gone to school in some
other district, or has passed an examination
in such school.
FREE PASSES.
Brockway has introduced a bill into the
House providing for the abolition of the entire
free pass system. It forbids Railroads or oth
er transportation companies from issuing to
any one except actual officers of the road, or
emplojes upon its pay rolls, free passes or pas
ses at a discount under a penalty of a fine not
less than $lOO or more than $5OO. The bill
makes the party using the pass, equally liable
with the party issuing it.
LOCAL LEGISLATION
Brockways local legislation bill was report
ed from the. Conference Committee in its orig
inal shape. The House and the Senate bay
ing both receded from their amendments. The
bill refered back to the Committee for amend
ment in its typography.
lit is rumored that a bill is to be introduced
into the Legislature, providing fur the licens
ing of Houses of Prostitution. Considerable
stir amongst the dry bones is anticipated.
The Behm murderers, Moody and Rosen
tine, have both confessed their guilt. Their
statements differ materially, but both impli
cate one Preston by name in the murder.

Letter From Williamsport.
WILLIAMSPORT, Feb. 7, 1874.
EDITOR JocusAL—Dear Sir:—Being a native
of old Huntingdon county, and proud of the
home of my birth, I feel a pleasure in attempt.,
jug to write a line for your most excellent pa
per. _ . _
A few short weeks ago I bid adieu to your
county in order that I might sojourn for a
while in Williamsport, and after arriving safely
in this beautiful city, I was soon on the look
out for the many places of interest for which
it is noted, and since I have not time to give
you a full description of the city, nor speak
of all the interesting features of the place, yet
I will try to give your many readers some idea
of the plane known as Williamsport. Lt is a
city containing about 20,000 inhabitants, situ
ate on the left bank of the Susquehanna river,
twenty eight miles north-east of Lock Haven,
and, for its size, is said to be one of the best
lumber markets in the United States. You
can scarcely form an idea of the amount of
lumber that is shipped from here daily, and
were you to visit the large lumber-yards that
nearly surround the city, you could not help
but feel that Williamsport well deserves the
game of ‘ , Pennsylvania's Lumber City." Nor
is it to be wondered at, that when there were
rumors about the removal of the State eapital,
wavy persons looked to Williamsport as the
proper place for it. Its magnificent residences
are said to be the finest in the State, outside
of the Quaker City, and its educational facili
ties cannot be surpassed ; The High School
ha s a very thorough course of study, and pre
pares students for college, while within its
boundary is situated Dickinson Seminary,
which ranks among the finest institutions of
learning in the land, and since the dismissal
of Professor Spottswood, and the resignation
of his father, as President, the Institution has
taken a grand step toward prosperity. Prof.
Else has been elected President pro tem, and
at the same time has charge of the department
of mathematics, which he very ably fills ; his
equal, as a ehristian gentleman and scholar,
would certainly be hard to find. Dr. Nays, of
this city, has been elected Professor in that
scientific; department, and during the short
space of two weeks, by bis kind and endear
ing manner, has won the confidence and re,
Bard of the entire school. Of his qualifications
it is not necessary for me to speak, for as a
scientist he is popular everywhere. The rest
of the faculty remain the same as heretofore.
I, ot. the present I must say atlicu,

THIRTY YEARS' EXPERIENCE

CENTAUR LINIMENT.
There is no pain, which the Centaur Liniments will not
relieve, no swelling they will not subdue, and no lameness
which they will nut care. This is strong language, but it
its true. They have produced more cams of rheumatism,
neuralgia, lock jaw, palsy, sprains, swelling, caked breasts,
scalds, burns, salt-rheum, ear-ache, &c., upon the human
frame, and of strains, spariu, galls, dm, upon the animals
in one year than have all other pretended remedies since
the world began. They are counter-irritant, all healing
pain relievers. Cripples throw away their crotches, the
lame walk, posionous bites are rendered harmless and the
wounded are healed without a sear. The recipe is pub
lished around each bottle. They sell as no article ever be
fore sold, and they sell because they do just what they pre
tend to do. Those who now suffer from rhumatism, pain
or swelling, deserve tosuffer if they will not use Centaur
Liniment, white wrapper.. More than 1000 certificates of
remarkable cures, including frozen limbs, chronic rheu
matism, gout, running tumors, .te., have been received.
We will send a circular containing certifieates, the recipe
gratis, to any one requesting it. One bottle of the
yellow wrapper Centaur Liniment is worth ene hundred
dollars for spavined or sweenied horses and mules, or for
ecrew-worm m sheep. Stock-owners—these liniments are
worth your attention. No family should be without them

CASTORIA is more than a substitute for Castor Oil. It
is the only safe article in existence which it certain to as
similate the food, regulate the bowels, cure wind-colic
and produce natural sleep. It contains neither minerals
morphine or alcohol, and is pleasant to take. Children
need not cry and mothers may rest.

Wanted to be Heard From.
If anybody has used the thorough and scientific course
of treatment recommended by the proprietor of Dr. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy for the cure of Catarrh and has not'aeon
perfectly cured, the proprietor; Dr. R. T. Pierce, would
like to hear from that person, and by addressing him in
the World's Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y., such person, if
there be one, will here of something tohis or her advan
tage, as the Doctor in in earnest when he offers $5OO re
ward fur a case of Catarrh which be cannot cure, and is
perfectly able to pay it if he fails in a tingle case, as any
one may ascertain upon inquiry. The thorough retiree
of treatment rehired to and recommended by Dr. Pierce
consists iu the use of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy with Dr.
Pierce's Nasal Douche which is the only means by which
the fluid can be carried high np and applied to all parts of
the nasal passages and the chambers connected therewith
in which ulcers exist and from which the discharge pro
ceeds. In addition to this thorough application of the
Remedy, which should always be used warm, Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery should be taken cm - nosily as
constitutional treatment, without which few cases can
be cured as the dissam is always constitutional and must
be treated accordingly. This treatment has no unpleasant
features about it, and has the advantage of never driving
the disease to the longs as there is danger of doing by
the use of strong, irritating snuffs or poisonous solution..
PLAIN PACTS.
