DUSBORROW, ESQ.,—EDITOR JOURNAL:—Dear Sir :—A report is cur rent in this community that the appoint ment of Col. J. Hall Musser for postmaster,. at Huntingdon, is in the financial interest of the JOURNAL. It is accorded by all— Democrats as well as Republicans—that it was the JomlNAris right to hare the ben efit of the patronage of the appointment, as it has labored most earnestly for the support and harmony of the party. The friends of the JOURNAL, desire to know whether the report is founded in fact. If such is the case it will be entirely satis factory to them. Respectfully, A WORKING REPUBLICAN. [ln the appointment of Col. Musser to the Postmastership the JOURNAL has not a farthing of pecuniary interest, save and except that, in the future, the friendship of that office will be acceded to us. We are sorry that any such impression as re ferred to has gone abroad. We are well aware that since each individual has not been able to secure the appointment of his immediate candidate, that the claims of the JOURNAL are generally admitted.— EDITOR. Our New York Letter. Temperance—Brooklyn—The New Horse Disease —The Charities—Chinese—Fashion for Easter —Bonnets—The Cost of two Items. NEW Foss, April 6, 1874. The ram cyclone has struck New York at last. In Brooklyn it came with all the force of a hurricane, and it is rivalling in the West era movement so far as power is concerned. The drinking places in New' York, by which saloons and groceries, in which liquor is the principal article dealt in, is meant, number 7,514; one to every 133 of the population, This is exclusive of druggists, club houses and places of that classwhiehdispenseliquors quite as freely as the professed dealers. These furnish facilities enough for drink ing in all conscience. Wall street is full of drinking places, many of them furnished without reference to cost, for gambling in stocks and gold is a business so exciting as to require stimulants constantly to enable the gambler to sustain the drain upon him. The Astor House bar does an enormous business. From early morn till 12 at night, the long bar is crowded with feverish looking individuals, who keep the cool and self-possessed dis pensers busy. One thousand dollars a day for liquors alone is not a big day's work at the Astor. Delmonico's Broadway place is another famous place, then the Brandreth House, St. Nicholas, Grand Central, New York Hotel, and so on up, all on the west side. The east side has quite en many. The regular thing fur the regular drinker who is in badness down town, is to walk to his home, up above 20th street, and he is very apt to stop at every one of these places and drink. Just at this time a series of meeting are be ing held in all the churches and most of the halls, the object being to create a eentiment against the traffic and use of liwr, and to eo unite the people opposed to it so that a raid will have - some effect. The clergy are all in it, and many of the leading business men have come out and announced their willingness to give the movement all the aid in their power, DIO LEWIS is here with Lis Westere laurels fresh upon him, and the ranks ore closing for abig move ment. In 1111001 ELYN the women have taken the field with some prospect of success. One shrewd saloon man took advantage of the excitement to post bills all over the city, in the name of the Women's Committee, stating that a prayer meeting would be held at his saloon a given evening. Of course his saloon crowded from early in the evening till after 9 o'clock. Then, as no women came, it crept through the wool of the thirsty crowd present, that the saloon man had made a rather nice thing by attracting them to his den. The unscrupulous fellow made several hundred dollars by his .brelvd dodge, of Brooklya did, however, organize, and are now au the war path. Last Monday they formed praying bands and visited various sa loons, in which they held. ervices, These agencies can be used in Brooklyn as well as in the West. for Brooklyn is a city of resi dences, and a very religious city. The saloon keepers were obdurate, and no results fol lowed. They propose to keep it up, however, till they have crushed out the evil in Brooklyn at least. A NEW HORSE DISE,E A new disease has broken out among the horses in the city, which, if not checked will create as much trouble as the epizootic of two years ago. It is a complaint entirely different front any that has yet appeared. Some horse doctors declare that the disease is of a mild type, runs its course in a very few days, never kills, that the horse does not suffer at all ; that it merely feels dull, languid, under the weather, rather sleepy, rather dispirited, like a ward politician "between elections." Other doctors insist that the horse suffers intensely with an aching pain alternating with colic spasms, and that it has proved in many in stances fatal. One horse doctor insists that the disease is A form of lung fever. Another is certain that it is a ease of catarrhal fever. This latter opinion is rapidly gaining ground, and Suds many advocates among the owners of the horses effected, who are having their animals treated for this complaint. In all the large stables the disease, what ever it is, has run through all the horses. Is the stables 517 Washington street, a personal case has occured. A horse was attacked twice by the disorder within two weeks. The first time he was sick six days. The second time the attack lasted half that period. The horse secured to suffer as if affected with the quinsy sore throat. Ile refused food, avoided water, but did not lose flesh. In every case but this the animal became thin, but in this instance the horse was,after theseconcl attack, even fleshier than at first. His joints, how ever, became stiff; he was unable to move, as if he had rheumatism. Ile did not F,CM to suffer any, but was as inanimate as a log. The horse the day or night before is perfectly well ; when the next feeding-time comes he will not eat; he will not drink ; his loins con tract and the disorder is in full force, till at last it ceases as suddenly and as causelessly as it appeared. One fact has been verified by experience; the disorder only attacks horses of a certain age. Young horses and horses, below l 3 or 9 years are unaffected by it ; and females are less susceptible to it than melee.. The disease is spreading rapidly and so far no remedies have been found for it. A number of the professional philanthrop• ists of the city enraged at James Gordon Ben nett, because he preferred to disburse his mo ney himself, instead of putting it ,iu their hands, attacked him roughly, and Bennet in turn, has subjected them to a microscopic ex amination. Quite a number of interesting facts have bean developed. For iiistance, there are seventy charities in the city govern ed and managed by “boards," "agents," &c. These charities disburse $1.700,000. and the cost of carrying them on foots up $183,000 ! Now, here is where Bennett gets them. Of the seventy, eight are Catholic, and the eight disburse over halt of the entire amount, at a cost of $23,000 ! To make the comparison more sharp and distinct he gives this instance : The House of Refuge ' aProtestant charityreol lected and disbursed $61,000, at a cost 0f533,- 238, while a Catholic Protectory, the same kind of a charity, expended $365,000 at a cost of $10,374 ! And Bennett pertinently 'asks— Where does the money go to? What do the demure individuals in black gloves who col lect it do with it? And no one, as yet, has answered his question. The fact is there is a small army of professional philanthropists who live, move, and have their being by the collection and disbursing of money for chari ties. Of every dollar contributed so many cents stick to their fingers in some way. Mr. Bennett is doing the charitable a good work by his timely exposure. Saving the cities on the Pacific Coast, New York has more Chinese, resident, than any city in what may be called the civilized world. They are huddled together in the most squalid part of the city, and though they live wretch edly, they manage to save something every day, and many of them are absolutely accu mulatiu,g property. The emigrants are, to a large extent, men, but they all marry after they have been here a time. It is a singular fact that Chinese then find their wives among the Irish. The Irish women of the lower grades have no objection to marrying the pig tailed Oriental, and they all testify to the fact that they make gond, kind 'husbands. The progeny of these Mongol-Celto marriages are larger than the Chinese, quite as nimble, lithe and active, and very much stronger. But it is a curious mix, isn't it. Easter commemorates the resurrection of the meek and lowly Jesus. Bow do his fol lowers in Gotham prepare for it? Read, and get an idea of New York religion. "Madame-'s opening of Easter hats has called out the beau monde. The elegant draw ing fodm was crowded. Among the nobby hats our attention was called to pretty ecru chip, embellished with French flowers and pure ostrich tips, also, exquisitely cut garni ture. el lovely chapeau composed of grog de atm, in a soft, gay tint, reminds one of Qua ker simplicity, and yet there is no lack of grace about this natty Easter hat. Among the recherche Easter black silk and camel's hair cloth appear to take the lead in promenade Spring suits. Overskirts are not so extensive ly worn as formerly. The neat little postilion jacket is quite a favorite with the bon tons.' Isn't this a descent from the sublime to the ridiculous? A "natty Easter Hat I" indeed. But speaking of HATS AND TDINGS, it costa something to be a fashionable woman in New York. The simplest bonnet, without flowers or feathers, costs $2O, and one as cheap as any woman of pretension would wear costs $5O. Then a Spanish Mantilla to suit that bonnet costs $350, the roses on it being $4 each extra! And these two.nrticles, bear in mind : only commence the dress. Some of your lady readers are doubtless able to take the cost of these two items, and from the fig ures see what the entire outfit front lint to shoes would cost. l can't do it. But this I know If I ever marry a women of position in New York I shall examine the resources of her papa before the ceremony is pronounced. I shall insist that the old gentleman settles on her at least $20,000 per annum. This sum will take an ordinary belle through, unless she is very ugly, in which case more will be required. But think of a young merchant saddling himself with so expensive a luxury as a fashionable wife ! What certain ruin it is for him, if he happens to be in love with her. Is it any wonder that so many young men live at the clubs, and keep rooms of their own, rather than marry? I think not. Pis Tao. News and Notes from Washington. Proceedinys in Congress—The Currency Ques tion in the Senate—An Extra Cabinet Meeting on the -Subject—The President's Views—The Centennial Exposition—American Wheat in England—Geneva Award. WASIIINGTON, D. C., April 6, 1874. PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS. The business of the past week has been of a mis cellaneous character. The Currency question oc cupied a portion of the time of the Senate, wherea good deal of opposition is shown to the re-issue of the forty-four million reserved provided for in the Currency bill which has already passed the?louse. The President called a special meeting of the Cab inet on Thursday to consider a message which he was preparing on the question of finances, and which will be transmitted to Congress in a few days. The President is reported as expressing an opinion that an insufficiency in the vomme of the currency should not be met by an inflation of the circulation of Government paper. lie approves of free banking on the basis of the National banks, with a provision fur the early redemption, and lie thinks the whole question can be best solved in this way. The establishment of banks under this system would take place only as they werenevaled, and the eireulatidn-would be governed by similar laws. The circulation would also belocalized.and would better answer the demands of any particu lar section than by the present system. Free banking would increase the facilities of trade, and the people, instead of boarding their money,would avail themselves of theme hooks for the safe !seep ing of their ready mesas. THE CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION. The defeat of the propostion in Congress to appropriate a fund to meet the expenses of the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in I4T6ha, had a very beneficial efect, and cannot fail of be ing largely instrumentatin making the entetprip an entire success. It has thrown the people and the State eathot Ries on their own resources, and they have gone into the work, especially in Penn Bylrania with a determination to know no failure. The same spirit is being manifested in other States; and seeing these movements and the general de termination of the people iv rater of th e E x p e g.

Ifer.own crop is short, and so is that of Russia upon which England largely depends, while the yield is net quite an average in other European nations. rue statistician of the Department of Agriculture furnishes official figures to chow the receipts of wheat end flour in England during January and February, from which I find that while the total receipts of wheat, 7,208,722 eats., are but little in excess of Iliac of a simihir period last year, Russia sends but 1,250,594 ewts., a de crease of 1,177,313: the Unit.•.!

Counting and flour as wheat, the Unikd States receipts of those two periods are respectively 5,323,773 and 10,919,852 bushels. Thus the import from Russia was reduced about one-half; from the United States it was more than doubled. There will he a demand, at fair prices, for our remaining surplus. The average prieca show only a slight advance, from 01.79 to 01.83, per bushel fur United States wheat.

Minority Report on the Orphan School Scandal HARRISBURG, Mardi 26, 1874.—Mr. Reynolds, from the minority of the joint Committee on Education, to whom was referred the communication of the Super intendent of soldiers' orphans' schoals in relation to the charges against. A. L. Gus,, late principal of the orphans' school at Cassville, while agreeing to many things cortained in the report of the majority of said committee, are compelled to dissent from several propositions contained in said report. • . . . . 'The majority assert that "as the j uris diction of the legislature extends only to the removal of the school, the question of Mr. Guss' guilt or innocence has not nec essarily to be passed upon." As the or phans' schools are state institutions, estab lished under state laws and supported ex clusively by state appropriations, we be lieve the legislature or its committee un der its direction had full and ample juris diction to inquire into their condition and management, and also into the character and conduct of those having these schools in charge. If the committee did not pes sess this full power and jurisdiction, we all committed an error in hearing and re ceiving a great mass of testimony totally inadmissible upon any other hypothesis, and which was so scandalous and indecent as to be deemed improper for publica tion. Notwitbstandiug the want of jurisdic tion asserted, the majority proceed to as sume jurisdiction by stating; "While much of the testimony is contradictory, enough remained to justify the committee in believing that the conduct of Prof. A. L. Guss was of an improper character."— The improper conduct charged against Prof. Guss by the enemies of the Cassville soldiers' orphans' school is said to have occurred between 18.68 and the spring of 1572, and was attempted to be proven by five of the former pupils of the school— three girls and two boys. These witnes ses were contradicted or impeached to such an extent that we believe no jury could convict Professor Gess of any attic speci fications contained in the charges upon their testimony. After pronouncing Professor Gusa guil ty of improper conduct, the majority say: "But as the reputation of Professor Goss is not only involved but also the reputa tion of scores of soldiers' orphans, the question of his guilt or innocence is remit ted to the courts for investigation." How this remittitur is to take effect and result in an investigation hi the courts which will vindicate the reputation of Professor Guss as well af- the reputation of the scores or soldier,,' orphans, if he or they are innocent, we are unable to compre hend. It is doubtless true that three rumors of improper conduct arc now current through out the county, but they are believed only by the "bitter and unrelenting enemies" of Professor GM'S and the Cassville school. The superintendent of soldiers' orphans testified that no mother or guardian ever made application to the department for the removal of any of these children on the ground of these rumors ; and it also op- pears in the testianony that after these ru mors of improper conduct iu connection with orpliatis had reached the ears of their mother, and they either per. milted theta to r. ot t applied for the adids-H. h-T 1 i , liten into that • . • 0 ! ,.. org ill the eV us stories re familiar to the children or were t ,abject of daily e t a,. versation er that I', :n ..ess or the mor als or th, ir: ; ,:.lred thereby.— On the (•.::• t have been appar ent to 1110 1: :•Blot this sch o ol W 2S und;or most esc: ;i. ,u iiwi Nina, and show ed marketi signs of prosperity to such a degree as cull only he attained under the present system. We are fully of the opinion that it is detrimental to the best interest of these schools that any one having control 01 them should be o candidate for political office, much less as the publisher of a news paper and a politieiat. witl "bitter and unrelenting enemies . ' in a county split with fictions and demoralized by strife and bate." But we see no reason .why these children. at present so comfortably situoted:almost in the very sight of their homes, when mothers and guardians are near to them, should be removed to dis tant ports of the :irate and the school bro ken up to gratify the "strife and hate" .7,f the personal enemies of Professor (joss, if the 0;11.1S0 for the currency of these rumors as given by the majority, is removed, namely : that Professor Guns lion the con trol of the property, is the publisher of a newspaper and a politician with bitter and unrelenting enemies. We do unhesita tingly dissent from that portion of the re port of the majority which would seek to remedy this unhappy condition of affairs by placing 11112E.:1 children in other schools where, like a contagious discas, these ru mors may be carried to csotrupt other minds, if it be true, as stated by them, that these rumors are now current in the school. The result of this change would be to remove theta from the care and watchfulness of mothers and guardians, and mark not only those who are there now, butt who have gone into the world to care for themselves, with the sanction of the legislature, that they have been reared under impropar influences and that their characters are covered with suspicion.— The future of these children appeals to our eonsiderdtion far above the clamors of pas sion and hate. If it be true, as - stated by the nitijority; . that the superintendent of soldiers' or phans testified before the committee, "if the rumors concerning Prof. Goss were generally current in the school and in the school and in the community and were be b'een, even if untrue, the effect would be to destroy die school and the system," dome reasons fur the removal of the school arc untenable in the light of the testimony token at Cassville, where scores of wit nesses, from three townships in the imme diate neighborhood testified, With but two exceptions from that cadre region (and these men were Guss".bitter and unrelent ing enemies"), that the rumors were not believed; that iu many cases they aeon never heard of by the witness until the commencement of this investigation, and that they believed the school was well managed and prosporons. believethat7the Cassville school and the neighborhood thereof possess superior advantages tr the edue:aion of the chil dren now there; that the school is now well and preperly managed, and that the good name and welfare of theie unfortu nate orphans demand that. the school should remain where it now is, if possible. But believing that it is inconsistent with the best interests of the school that the proprietor and real manager should be actively engaged in local and party poli tics, we would recommend that the su perintendent of soldier's orphans' school be directed to cause this school to be re moved from Cassville as soon as practica ble, unless the property be sold or leased by the proprietor to such person or persons as the governor and superintendent of sol diers' orphans' schools may designate. We would also reeeommend that the testimony taken by the committee be de livered into the hand of the superinten dent of orphans' schools. • In this connection we deem it proper to make some suggestions Air the future ac tion of the legislature in regard to all of these schools. The state has assumed a responsibility as to the care and education of soldiers' orphans which it cannot in jus tice abandon. The only question of press• ing importanee to be determined by the legislature is the true interest of these children. The prcOent system of paying to certain proprietors a gross sum for the board, clothing and education of the or phans makes the money interest of the proprietor and the welfare of the 'scholar two opposing . principleS. The care and sustenance of children should never be put to such a hazard. Besides this the char acter of a school should not be imperiled by a proprietorship subject to the change for a money consideration and practically beyond the control of proper authority. • The separation of the sexes at the age gt which scholars are received and cared for in the orphans' schools is a measure of reform which we believe will commend itself to the general judgement without argument. The unfortunate scandal at Cassville only enforces the propriety of a change in this respect witlnut originating the reasons for it. As a means, therefore ; of curing present evils and preventing their recurrence we recommend : First—That the proprietorship and con trol of the soldiers' orphans schools should be transferred to the state pnd state author ities. Secoud—That the p::rls and bflys be ed ucate.' and maintained in schools separate ly set apart for each sex. Respectfully submitted. JOHN H. ORVIS, JOHN M.
