The people of Huntingdon and vicinity have fallen upon evil times. The pent up wrath and direful vengeance which the gods, who preside over the secular affairs of men, have nursed fur generations, have been hurled upon us. And from all quar ters, from the palace and the cot, from the attic to the basement, conies the cry of distress and distrust. The man who knows no charity, nothing but the plain letter of the law as laid down in his writ, has been abroad from early morn until the close of day. The husband's and father's heart has been like to break, the wife's tears have flowed like rain and the orphan knows not where the next supply of bread, to support life and health, is to be procured. On every hand have only been heard murmurings and wailings. Men knot together by the hour discussing the sad fate which has befallen them or their neighbors. Some tell their own sad ex perience, others speculate upon the future, while here and there a fiend, a ghoul, a monster, brainless and heartless, soulless and infamous, for - the purpose of gain or revenge, whisperingly attaches suspicious to those who arc ten thousand times ten thousand his superiors in honesty and probity. And what has wrought all this Calau►i. ty? We have a theory of our own. It is this: The Panic created a want of confidence. Men began to cast about them at once to shape their eircursistances for the coming storm. They saw the final settlement wl-:.41 precedes insolvency approaching.— They reasoned that certain substantial men would be able to weather it while others must go down. The latter class predom inated greatly. From this class they were unwilling to accept the usual commercial paper. They demanded an obligation which evaded all the wise provisions made by the Legislature to protect men in lim ited circumstances. Judgment notes, waiv ing all the wise provisions which have been 'designed to protect the weak and oppressed, became as abundant as green backs. Everybody said they took them as a precaution. As long as times were reasonably good the judgment note was paid or staved off. Now and then a re port. would be started that some unfbrtu nate was in trouble, and every one whom he owed ran to the record and entered up his little judgment, and the Sheriff, in due course of time, returned, "money made" or as the case might be. The unfortunate was ripped up and sent adrift. This was the end of it. And this routine was re peated weekly for months. The failures were small and but few suffered. But the aggregate had a tendency to create an un easiness in commercial circles that was anything but healthy. At last a great house, for this community, falls. Instead of a few hundreds or thousands, as in many former cases, the liabilities exceed a hun dred thousand dollars ! The entire com munity is shocked and rocked from centre to circumference. Men lose confidence in human nature. They fly to the records with their great files of penal bills and men who, a few hours before, were "as good as old wheat," are closed up and their character and standing sacrificed.— This is all, 13 a measure, the work of tin' JUDGMENT Nors; It is ever thus where this reptile takes the place of commercial paper. No man is safe an hour against it. The least breath of suspicion in regard to the solvency of, perhaps, the greatest benefactor and friend of the community, sends his creditors to the record and his usefulness is destroyed and those who de pend upon him for daily bread arc turn ed out to face a cold and frowning world. Poor men and men in limited circum stances, why do you give judgment notes? The moment you do so you are at the mercy of your creditor. It he is a heart less man—and we are free to say there are too many of this class—your wife and little ones may some cold, wintry day find themselves iu the street face to face with starvaion. The law has made wise pro vision for your protection against the cruel and relentless creditor, why are you so thoughtless, so stupid, if we may use the word, es to barter away its provisions to the _ great detriment of those depending upon Y Better go hungry and shabby, a thousa►_ times, for an emergency, than allow all it ittle accumulations of years to be sacrificed . song. Better beg for the time being than expose those you hold near and dear to you to the mercy ot'a cruel creditor. Never create a debt if it can be avoided, but if you do, and cannot pay when demanded, let the creditor push his claim to judgment by the manner prescri bed by the law, and by the time he has done this, and you have stayed his judgment, in nine eases out of ten you will be able to pay or he will not need hi►+ money. The cooling time will have saved you. ~, Rich men and creditors in moderate circumstances, why do you ask judgment notes ? It is true that you now and then save a bad debt, but judgment notes al ways create i6olated or sporadic panics, and thus you lose five times more by the general wreck than you have saved in the few individual instances. Look about you and learn whether this is Dot so! By countenancing this kind of promises to pay, you are obliged to ema o r i n 0 th e general rule, and you in turn way be pounced upon and torn literally to pieces. Is this not so? Common sense dictates that it is. EDITOE We have no desire to pursue this subject further, but our experience is as we have recorded it above, and we cannot leave it without exhorting every one—especially business men—to abolish, to drive out, to exterminate the Judgment Note in all purely commercial transactions. It should never be given unless given for yip - lints in the purchase of real estate. The poor man that gives one forgets all his obliga• tions to his family, and the rich man, by taking them, runs the risk of producing panics that depreciate the value of all property, thereby causing him to lose ten times more than be gains by their use. We counsel moderation and discretion. The man who is afraid of losing a few hundred dollars and is disposed to run to the record to save it by oppressing some one should stop to think twice before acting. lie should remember that by this very ac tion he may precipitate a similar movement upon some one he leasts expects to be affect ed, through whom he may i lose twice as much as he would save, and if he does nothing more, he creates uneasiness which results in a want of confidence, and this results in the depreciation of the value of property, and that which he valued at thousands, by his indiscreet haste, may be depreciated to the value of only a few hundreds. Thus by saving a few hundreds he can lose thou sands. We believe that the panic will have a good effect. It will undoubtedly root out a few of the underlying causes which have obstructed business, and this will go far to compensate many of the un fortunates. And if it has a tendency to break up, tear up by the roots, any or all of the infernal selfishness which has char acterized too many of our business men it may prove a blessing in disguise. THE Pennsylvania School Journal puts, in a eondenFed forty, valuable statistics as to schools and their maintainanc.) in this State. It says 'The number of school districts in the State of Pennsylvanina, as shown by the last annual report of the superintendent of Public Instruction. is now 2,071 ; the num ber of school directors, 13,750 ; teachers employed in common schools, 19,327 ; pu pils enrolled over 850,774 ; total number of schools, 16,161, of which 5.586 are graded schools; total annual cost of the system, $8,817,939 88, and the estimated value of school property, in round num bers, about 828,000,000. The average monthly salary of male teachers is $42 95; of female teachers, $35 87. Average length of school term, six anfJ three quar ter months ; average cost of tuition per month fur each pupil, 95 cts. If to the annual cost of the system last year, as giv en above, there be amount expended for Soldiers' Orphan Schools, $450,870 49, and that fur Normal Schools, $llO,OOO, we have the grand aggregate of $9,408,- 819 37. Can the history of any other State or country furnish its parallel ?" A WASHINGTON dispatch says that "during an interview, between the Pres. ident and some Treasury official, the other day an allusion was wade to the policy pur sued by the Democratic House of Repre sentatives in discharging from subordinate positions ex-Union soldiers, when the Pres ident spoke,and said it was his purpose to see that all such arc provided with positions. Ile expressed in a quiet but emphatic manner his disapproval of the supplanting of men who had served their country faithfully by those who had fought to de stroy it. "•I will," slid the Presideut, "find a place fur every man turned out, so long as there is a Democrat left in any of the Executive Departments. I have ta ken care of all who have been turned out thus far, and I propose to take of the few still remaining, it' they are removed to make room for Democrats: There are enough Democrats still holding office in the Departments to give every man who is removed from the House a position, and I shall not hesitate to order their discharge for such a purpose." NEXT year an entire new Le g i s l a t ure will be chosen in this State, according to the provisions of the new Constitution.— The Senators chosen in 1874 will serve two years, and those chosen in 1875 will serve one year. With the next session of the Senate, therefore, the terms of all the Senators will expire, and the election in J 876 will be for two hundred and one members of the House, to serve two years, and fifty members of the Senate. The Senatorial districts are numbered from one to fifty, inelniive; those chosen in 1876 from the even numbered districts will serve two years, and those from the odd numbered districts for four. At all elections subsequent to 1876, Senators will be chosen for four years. TUE following is the full text of the resolution against subsidies as passed by the House : Resolved, That in the judgmentof this house, in the present condition of the fivancial affairs of the Government, no subsidies in money, bonds, public lands, endorsements, or by the pledge of the public credit, should be granted by Congress to associations or corpo:ations engaged or proposing to engage in public or private enterprises, and tbatall appropriations from the public Treasury ought to be limited at this time to such amounts only as shall be imperatively demanded by the public service. Mr. Holman, of Indiana, who introduc ed the resolution, said it was not intended to cut off an appropriation to the Centen nial. THE Ilollidaysburg Standard makes the following paint which we have no hesitation in saying is well taken : "The Huntingdon JouaNAL make a piteous appeal to tue Republicans of Huntingdon cennty to "let the dead past bury its dead," and to pledge themselves to obey henceforth the mandates of the eounty convention. The trouble down there is that two Republican county conventions are generally held in the same year, each claiming to be the genuine article, and the unsophisticated freetaaa don't know which is which."
