the better for him. We are informed that
he alleged, as an apology for not being
present at the Investigation, that he did
not know when the Cemmittee would

us, We feel somewhat outraged at the
conduct of the House of Representatives,
of Pennsylvania, for not passing the Joint
Resolution authorizing the Secretary of
the Commonwealth to pay the printers for
publishing the New Constitution. There
appears to be a disposition, at Harrisburg,
to constantly ignore the printers. Why
printing is not treated as any other legiti
mate business we cannot tell ? If all
printers felt in regard to this matter as we
do, we feel confidant there would be more
respect paid to our interests. There is
not one in ten, who now occupy seats in
the Legislature, who could retain them
without the aid of these same printers
whose interests they are constantly dispo
sed to neglect or trample under foot. We
know it is alleged that a few frauds in our
profession have over-charged the Com
monwealth, but they do not amount to a
dozen, and no one knows them better than
the Secretary of the Commonwealth, and
why not authorize him to pay the honest
claims and leave the dishonest ones wait
until they agree to take what their rates
will give them? Oh for a little backbone
in the press of the country !

The investigation which has been insti
tuted by the Legislature regarding alleged
improper conduct, on the part of Rev. (?)
A. L. Gass, proprietor of the soldiers' or
phan school of Cassville, Huntingdon
county, this State, is bringing to light facts
which make the very cheek of morality
tingle with shame and every honorable
heart to swell with indignation. Long ago
Durborrow, of the Huntingdon JOURNAL,
denounced this man as a filthy brute iu
terms so plain and vigorous that the earnest
attention of State Superintendent Wicker
shamshould at once have been engaged in the
matter. But this gentleman saw fit to dai
ly until the meeting of the Legislature, and
then put upon this body a work which
should have aroused his immediate and
best efforts. The Grand Army of the Re
public has also taken a lively interest in
the matter and this fiend, who is shown to
have at least attempted to make his school
a house of prostitution, will probably have
meted out to him the best punishment the
law will allow. Some new punishment
should be invented for one who will so be
tray a sacred trust, and who has thrown
such a shade of disgrace over the orphan
school system, and the profession of a min.

—The Centennial Exposition—The Philadel
phia Election.
WAseiscros, D:C., Feb. 23, 1374.
A FREE BANKING LAW.
After nearly two weeks discussion of the
subject in the Senate it is now generally be
lieved that Congress will pass a free banking
law. There has been a very free expression
of opinion elicited from merchants and other
prominent business men throughout ilia coun
try, who have been communicating with their
representatives in Congress on the subject,
and the feeling is almost unanimous in favor
of the measure. With proper restrictions and
checks there is no doubt of the necessity aid
the advantages of freedom in banking. All
who wish may then invest their capital in
banking, and everything like favoritism and
monopoly will be removed. The debate on
the question will be resumed in a few days,
hen final actioif will be taken.
TUE RETRENCHMENT POLICY.
The spirit of retrenchment shows no abate
ment, and no department of the Government
will escape the effects of the pruning hook.—
In Washington a Congressional Committee has
instructed the heads of departments to issue
a circular, which has been done, containing
questions to be answered by the-clerks, as to
the place of their birth, from what Congres
sional district appointed, nature of their work,
compensation, and whether they have receiv
ed any additional compensation over their
regular salary. The heads of departments
have in reply to the question of a reduction
of force, almost invariably replied that the
force could not be reduced without detriment
to the public interests. "Then," said the
Committee, "we must increase the number of
hours of daily work twenty five per cent., and
that will enable you to dispense with one
fourth of your clerks and still have the same
quantity of work clone as at present." This
is now the proposition of the Committee. Al
ready reductions have bees made in some of
the departments, and the appropriation bill
contemplates a large addition to the reduc
tions already made. The army appropriation
bill of the House is now before the Senate,
and it is thought that the provision reducing
the army to 25,000 will pass without change.
GOD IN TUE CONSTITUTION,
The agitation of this question, which has
been kept before the public for several years,
will receive a quietus by the action of the
House Judiciary Committee. After due con
sideration of a petition "for the acknowledge
ment of Almighty God and the Christian reli
gion in the Constitution," the Committee in
their report say they find that the fathers of
the republic, in the convention which framed
the constitution, the subject of this memorial
was most fully and carefully considered, and
the convention decided, with great unanimity,
that as this country, the foundation of whose
government they were then laying, was to be
the home of the oppressed of all nations of the
earth, whether Christian or pagan, and with
a full realization of the dangers which the
union between church and state has imposed
upon so many nations of the Old World, that
it was inexpedient to put anything into the
constitution or frame of government which
might be construed to be a reference to any
religious creeds or doctrines ; and further find
that the decision was accepted by our Ch -is
tian fathers with such great unanimity that
in the amendments -which were afterwards
proposed in order to make the constitution
more acceptable to the nation, none has ever
been proposed to the states by which this wise
determination of the fathers has been attempt
ed to be changed : wherefore the committee
report that it is inexpedient to legislate upon
the subject of the memorial,and ask that they
be discharged from the further consideration
thereof.
THE PRESERVATION OF FOREST TREES.
The public are very justly becoming alarm
ed at the rapid disappearance of our forests,
and many suggestions are offered from time to
time as to the best mode of keeping up the
supply of wood. On Thursday President Grant
transmitted to Congress a memorial upon the
cultivation of timber and the preservation of
forests, and a draft of a joint resolution pre
pared by the American Association for the
Advancement of Science; together with a
communication from Mr. Drummond, Com
missioner of the General Land Office, on the
subject. The joint resolution provides that
the President shall appoint some person of
approved scientific attainments, "Commission
er of Forestry," and that it shall be the duty
of such Commissioner to ascertain the annual
consumption of timber, the best means adapt•
ed to its preservation, the influence of forests
on the climate, and other facts which he may
deem neeessary to report to Congress.
SOCIETY AT RPST
The President held his third and last 'egg
lar public reception for the season on Tuesday
evening, at which it is estimated that two
thousand persons were present, and grasped
the band of the Chief Magistrate. Lent com
menced• on the following morning, and society
will have forty (lays rest from its incessant
follies.
TEE CENTENNIAL, EXPOSITION.
Wednesday, the 25th, is set apart for the
consideration of the Centennial Exposition
bill in the Senate. It will be the subject of a
protracted and sharp debate. There is much
jealousy between the representatives of differ
ent States in reference to this question. But
it will not be continued, and a very general
support will ultimately be given to the bill.

Letter from Harrisburg
lIARRISBURG Feb. 21st, 1974,
Both houses met at 2 o'clock on Thursday
afternoon a majority of the number being in
their pl. - es. The special order of business in
the House was the consideration of the Usury
bill, but before any business was transacted
Mr. M'Creary of Venango asked leave to make
a statement .d forwarded to the clerks to be
read a circular which divulged
A GIGANTIC BLACKMAILING SCHEME,
to extort money from the banks of the Com
monwealth for the alleged purpose of effecting
the repeal of the existing Usury laws, by the
passage of the interest bill which is at present
pending in the Legislature. As developments
of a startlicg character will soon be made in
regard to this matter we will furnish your
readers with
A FULL HISTORY OP TOE CASE
as far as possible at present writing. A week
or so ago the ex-cashier of the Dauphin Coun
ty bank, whose reputation for honesty has at
least a doubt cast on it, called noon the prom
inent bankers of this city and represented
to them that the interest bill now pending in
the House was in danger of being defeated un
less they took some action in the matter and
signed a circular urging its passage. These
gentlemen being in favor of the bill signed
such a circular in good faith. This circular
thus obtained was enclosed with another,
signed by two persons calling themselves E.
L. Saunders, treasurer, and R.H. Gordon sec
retary and was sent to most of the prominent
bankers of the State, The latter circular set
forth the necessity of the passage of this bill
during the present session of the Legislature,
on account of the trouble which would be ex
perienced next year from the increased number
of members, and for the accomplishment of
that purpose an assessment was levied on each
bank estimated ou the basis of its capital
stock. The amount of said assessments to be
used in defraying the necessary expenses in
cidental to the marshalling of testimony to be
offered before the House Committee having
the bill in charge and for the retaining of able
counsel to defend the same, and in evidence
of the honesty of the movement it was stated
that a pro rata return of the funds not used
for these purposes, would be made. All re
mittances were to be sent payable to the or
der of E. L. Saunders, tlarrsburg, Pa. In
course of time letters bearing this address be
gan to accumulate pt the Post Office in this
city, when Mr. Bergner, the Post Master, re
ceived a note without signature, requesting
that all letters bearing the above address.he
cent to the Bolton House. The request was
complied with, and the letters were lifted at
the Bolton House by a member of the louse of
Representatives boarding there. Several Bank
ers of this city received remittances from their
correspondents with orders to pay the same
to Saunders or Gibbons.
A messenger sent with one of these drafts
in search of Mr. Gibbons at the Bolton House
did not find any such gentleman but was di
rected to the es-cashier above mentioned who,
we understand received the draft from the
messenger. This is abort the substances of
the matter. The exploding of the plot in the
House has probably prevented the swindle
from making the proportions it otherwise
would have done. It is rumored that the par.
ties engaged in it have collected from different
banks throughout the State SOIIIC fifteen thou—
:and dollars. The investigation committee
appointed by the House have sifted the matter
to the bottom, end we havejust been informed
that the supposed

Companies and all other incorporated compa

The Cassville Investigation.
[Special Correspondence of the Pittsburgh Com
martial.]
HUNTINGDON, PA., Feb. 14, 1874
The Joint Committeeof the two Houses
of the Legislature, to investigate the Cass
vine scandal closed its labors here on last
Tuesday night, and returned to Harris
burg. I have only time to give you a
brief resume of the testimony.
On Monday evening Miss Handcuff was
examined, and testified that Guss drew
her into his office, one evening, when she
was between thirteen and fourteen years of
age, pulled her upon his lap, pressed her
to his bosom, and offered her other indig
nities. She complained of this to one of
the female employees, and by her assis
tance a letter was sent to her mother,
who promptly sent to the guardian of the
child to demand her, but she was not
yielded up. A short time afterwards, she
was taken into a room before a Justice of
the Peace, and frightened into snearing
that her charges were not correct. Again,
when she was approaching sixteen, he lu
red her to the woods, and when the coast
was clear, threw her to the ground and en
deavored to accomplish his vile purpose.
Twice, subsequently, he had made similar
attempts. She also stated that one of the
girls was enciente, and that she was oblig
ed to wear the witness' clothes, who was a
much larger-sized girl. The boys would
twit this poor creature while reciting in
class, and charge her with familiarities
with Guss. She stated that there were
constant reports of his familiarity with
the girls.
It is. Handcuff corroborated her daught
er's statement in regard to receiving the
letter, &c.
A ady from Altoona, who had been om
ployed at the establishment, stated that
she frequently saw girls from her room
coming out of Gum' room, late at night,
with their slippers in their hands. She
said that reports of familiarity were con
stantly flying around the establishment.
Mr. Owens, who had formerly been a
teacher, gave similar testimony, and stated
that he had frequently seen Gum with
some one of the girls on the cars.
Miss Louisa Pope stated that she had
gone to his room to ask permission to go
to visit her uncle, in company with one of
the girls. He called her to him and asked
her if she could keep a secret. She, think
ing that it was something in reference to
the school, said she could. He than en
deavored to seduce her. She said she
would cry out, and he opened the spring
lock and allowed her to retire. She com
plained immediately. The matron and
others corroborated her statement as near
as possible.
Mrs. Funk stated that he called her in
to his room and asked her if she could
keep a secret, and when she told him that
she could, he endeavored to accomplish his
vile purpose.
Within a few weeks he took a Justice
of the Peace to this witness, and endeav
ored to make her swear that the state
ments which she bad made were untrue,
He insisted on her not to come to the in
vestigation. She was corroborated by other
witnesses.
Dr. Isaac Guss, formerly physician to
the school, stated that one of the teachers
told him there were half a dozen com
plaints by young girls at one time, and
that the "Professor was constantly charg
ed with criminality with a number of girls
named by the witness. He also stated that
.3-uss was frequently seen riding about the
country with his arms around the large
girls ; that there was no effect to conceal
his lecherous motives.
Judge Clarkson stated that there were
frequent rumors of the criminality of Guss;
that he (Clarkson) saw him in the cars
with a whole car full of small girls, and
selected the largest one and put her on his
lap, and caressed and fondled her.
George McEldowny stated that he saw
Guss in the ironing room with his arms
about one of the girls in the corner; he
saw Guss and one of the larger girls com
ing out of the stable about eight o'clock at
night., and also went to his office on one
occasion and found him locked in with one
of the girls.
This is only a portion of the testimony,
softened down to suit publication, but it
ought to be enough. STYLUS.
HARRISBURG, February 19, 1874.
The Joint Committee of the Senate and
House to investigate the charges as to mis
management of the Cassville Soldiers' Or
phans' School, and particularly the alleged
criminal acts of A. L. Guss, late Superin
tendent, met here labt evening.
A. 11. Weidman, former teacher in the
school was examined and related the cir
cumstances making stronger the case
against Guss.
- .
Alfred Handcuff, a brother of Kate Hand
cuff, examined at Huntingdon, testified to
a nameless and horrible crime ccmmitted
by Guss.
State Superintendent Wickersham vol
untarily read a statement vindicating Guss
and himself. This only confirmed those
present in the belief that Wiekersharcr had
neglected his duty.
Nrs,'Hutter, female State jespeetor,
testified. The maiq point of her state
ment being that she had recommended, on
account of the stories abcut the school,
that the pupils at Cassville be taken away.
The Committee will meet at Cassville
next Tuesday.

The Springfield Republican suggests the
name of Charles Francis .Adams as a can

Mr. Adams slandered Abraham Lincoln in
his memorial address on Mr. Seward, and
hence will have very small following in the
West.
An imposing cermony took place re
cently at the Palace of Teheran, in the
presenee of all the princes and dignitaries
of the kingdom. The Shah publicly pre
sented a diadem of great value to his fa

one of the chief promoters of the intrigue
against the ex-Grand Vizier), and at the
time decreed that she should bear the
title of Melik Afak, "Tha Universal
Queen."
One of the hardest worked men in Wash
ington is General Babcock, the President's
private Secretary. He blends traits that
seldom unite—great executive force with
urbanity and politeness. His door stands
open. All comers who have business with
the Executive .Department are met, and
their calls at once attended to. The path.
way to the President's room is through
that of Gen. Babcock. He is run down all
day. But he is as cheerful and polite to
the last comer as to the first. Not alone
in this department is he the right man in
the right place.
Gov. Moses, of South Carolina, is a most
unfortunate man. Owing to some curious
defect in his mental construction, whenever
he sits down to write he is full as likely to
use the exact language of some one else as
he is to invent one of his own. He sent a
message to the Legislature recently, and a
striking passage from Macauley slipped in
to it in the most unaccountable way. The
other day he put the unregenerate among
his constituents to shame by delivering an
eloquent lecture on "Religion," but its
beneficial effect has been a good deal weak
ened by the discovery that it was an al
most literal transcript from a sermon by
the Rev. Robert Hall, of London, on

wjth our valuable Nem., is most happy. It augments the
appetite, raises the pulse. takns off muscular flabbiness,
removes the pallor of debility, and gives a florid vigor to
the countenance.
Do you want something to strengthen you? Do you want
a good appetite ? Do you want to build Up your constitu
tion? Do you want to feel well? Do you want to get rid
of nervousness? Do you want energy? DO you want to
sleep well? Do you want brisk and vigorous feelings? If
you du, try Kunkel's Wine of Iron.
This truly valuable tonic has been .60 thoroughly tested
by all classes of the community, that it is now deemed in
dlspensinie as a Tonic medicine. It costs but little, purifies
the blood and gives tone to the stomach, renovates the
system and prolong, life.
I now only ask a trial of this valuable Tonic. Price $1
per bottle. E. F. KUNKL, Sole Proprietor, Philadelphia,
Pa.
