Goss, Publisher Globe. OUR old friends, Mengel Bros., former ly of Bedford, and D. S. Francis, have started a new paper in Reading entitled The Spirit of Berks. The first number is before us and does great credit to the mechanical skill of our friend George. There is no better printer above ground than he. The Spirit is Democratic in politics, and will soon rank high as an ex ponent of Democratic measures. We wel cline the Spirit and hope it may long re main in substance and prove a source of great profit to our worthy friends. THE Legislature adjourned on last Fri day after clearing up its calendar. The last hours of the session were given up to complimenting the officers with the usual handenme presents. A large amount of valuable legislation was enacted during the session, and while much of the work in the Lower House was marked, at the respec tive stages with much blundering, yet in the end it succeeded remarkably well. It was the first Legislature under the New Constitution, and we are perfectly satisfied never to have a worse. WE have received from J. Simpson Africa, esti., Chief Clerk in the office of the , Secretary of Internal Affairs, a copy of the Annual Report - of the Secretary for 1874.75, part third, which is really one of the most valuable documents which we have ever known to emanate from Harris burg. It is full of valuable statistics which are compiled, in part, from sources that have not heretofore figured in making up this class of documents. Mr. Africa will please accept our thanks. ON Thursday last .a fire broke out in a foundry, at Somerset, Pa., and the flames could not be stayed until thirty-seven buildings. were consumed and seventeen families loft houseless. The loss is esti mated at $200,000, of which about $75,- 000 is covered by insurance. Much of the pr4erty burned had been lately erect ed to take the place of that burned in the previous fire. We deeply sympathize with these unfortunate people. TnE Belknap Impeachment case has been before the Senate. The point dis cussed is the plea to the jurisdiction of that body. It is contended that Belknap having resigned and his resignation having been accepted he)s not liable to impeach ment. It is thought the Senate will sus tain the plea. ANOTIIpt destructive conflagration de stroyed large quantities of lumber in Wil liamsport on Saturday night. The fire was the work bt an incendiary, and a sus picious. character was arrested and 'con fesse4 the crime. A disposition prevailed to cast him into the flames, but he was got to prison without harm. THE Governor has vetoed the items in the Legislative Appropriation bill appro. priatinf; sums re. pay the expenses of in• vestigating the Iketerni'Sehools.

A Message from the President in Regard to His Absence from the Capital. A Square Slap in the Face of the Democrat ic House. WASHINGTON, MaV Pre to day sent the folio4ing message to the House in reply to IlepreF.entative Blaek burn's resolut ion : n the Mnise 11,:pre. , :enh01;r,...;: I havt. given very attentive consideration to a resolution of the I I ouse: of Representatives, passcel on the third day of April, request ing the President of the United States to inform the House whether any executive offices, acts or duties, and, if any, what, have within a specified period been per formed at a distance from the seat of gov ernment established by law, &c. I have never hesitated, and shall not hesitate to communicate to Congress, and to either branch thereof, all the information which the Constitution makes it the duty of the President to give, or which my judgment may suggest to me, or a request from eith er House may indicate to me will be use ful in the discharge of the appropriate duties confined to them. I fail, however, to find in the Constitution of the United States the authority given to the House of Representatives (one branch of Congress in which is vested the legislative power of the government) to require of the execu tive, an independent branch of the govern ment co-ordinate with the Senate and House of Representatives, an account of his discharge of his appropriate and partly executive offices, acts and duties either as to when, where or how perfbrmed. What the House of Representatives may require as a right in its demand upon the men tive for information is limited to what is necessary for the proper discharge of its powers of legislation or of impeachment. The inquiry in the resolution of the House as to where executive acts have within the last seven years been performed, and at what distances from any particular spot, or for how long a period at any one time, etc , does not properly belong to the prov ince of legislation ; it does not profess to be asked for that object. If this informa tion be sought through an inquiry of the President as to his executive 11 , 3145 in view or in aid of the power of impeachment vested in the House, it is asked in deroga tion of an inherent natural right, recog nized in this country by a constitutional guarantee which protects every citizen, the President as well as the humbleet in the land, from being made a witness against himself. During the time I have had the honor to occupy the position of President of' this government it has been, and while I continue to occupy that position it will continue to be my earnest endeavor to rec ognize and respect the several trusts and duties and powers of the co-ordinate branch es of' the government, not encroaching upon them nor allowing encroachments upon the proper powers of the office which the people , of the United States have con fided to me, but aiming to preserve in their proper relations, the several powers and functions of each of the co ordinate branch es of the government agreeable to the Con stitution, an'l in accordance with the sol emn oath which I have taken to "preserve, 'protect al defend" that instrument. In maintenance of the rights secured by the Constitution to the executive branch of the government, I =compelled to decline any specific or detailed answer to the re quest of the House for information as to "any executive offices, acts or duties, and if any, what, have been performed at a distance from the seat of government es tablished by law, and for how long a per iod at any one time and in what part of the United States." A DEFENSE OF DIS ABSENCE. If, however, the House of Itepreseeta tives desires to know whether during the period of upwards of seven years, during which I have held the office of President of the United. States, I have been absent from the seat of government, and whether during that period I have performed or have neglected to perform the duties of my office, I freely inform the House that from the time of my entrance upon my of fice I have been in the habit, as were all of my predecessors, with the exception of one who lived only one month after assum ing the duties of his office, and one whose continued presence in Washington was necessary from the existence at the time of a powerful rebellion, of absenting my self at times from the scat of government, and that during such absences I did not neglect or forego the obligations or the duties of my office, but continued to dis charge all of' the executive offices, acts and duties which were required of me as Pres dent of the United States. I am not aware of a failure in any one instance of my ex ercising the functions and powers of my office, in every case requiring their dis charge, or of exercising all necessary ex ecutive acts. In whatever part of United States I may at the time have been, for tunately the rapidity of travel and of mail communication, and the facility of almost instantaneous correspondence with the of ficers at the seat of government which the telegraph affords to the President in what ever section of the Union he may be, ena ble him in these days to maintain a con stant and almost as quick intercourse with the departments at Washington as may be maintained while he remains in the Capi tol. The necessity of performance of ex ecutive acts by the President of the Uni ted States exists and is devolved on him wherever he may be within the United States. During his term of office by the Constitution of the United States his civil powers are no more limited, or capable of limitation, as to the place where they shall be exercised than are those which'he might be required to discharge in his capacity of Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, which latter powers, it is evident, he might be called on to-exercise, possibly, even the limits of the United States. Had the• efforts of those recently in rebellion against the government been successful in driving a late President of the United States from Washington, it is manifest that he must have discharged his functions, both civil and military, elsewhere than in the place named by law as the seat of gov ernment. HE STANDS ON THE CONSTITUTION , .-4o act of Congress can limit,. suspend or confine this constitutional duty. I am not aware of the existence of any act of Congress which assumes thus to limit or restrict the exercise of the functions of the Execs tive ; were there such acts, I should nevertheless recogniz3 the superior author ity of the constitution and should exercise the powers required thereby of the Presi. dent. The act to which reference is made in the resolution of the House relates to the establishment of the seat of govern ment and the providing of suitable build inas and removal thereto of the offices at tached to the government, etc. It was not understood at its date and by Gen. Washington to confine the President in in the discharge of his duties and powers to actual presence at the seat of govern ment. On the 30th of March, 1791, short ly after the passage of the act referred to, General Washington issued an executive proclamation, having reference to the sub ject of this very act, from Georgetown, a place remote from Philadelphia, which then was the seat of government, where the act referred to directed that "all offi cers attached to the seat of government" should for the time remain. That none of his successors have entertained the idea that their. executive 'offices could be per formed only at the seat of government is. evidence by the hundreds upon hundreds p;,--ii: n .uw.l by to Fede;,s,or: 1 • lil'~i . . in :in Lei:lin:k' twin Wag:!iingior, LineAn, a nscueironliii,i of the gencr.ii nature and character albino of which acts ial.Nubtuitte.d herewith, and no question has ever lwen raised as t.) the validity of those nets or as to the right tied propriety of the liseentive to exercise the powers of his office in any part of the United States. • U. S. GRANT. \VA,4IIINGT4O4. D. (1. I:iv 1, 1874; h will be perceived that the thessnge is dated Washington, without the usual pre fix or ‘Executive Mansion." Accompany ing the message is a memorandum of ab sences of the Presidents of the United States from the national capital during each of the several administrations, and of public and executive acts performed dur ing the time of such absences. This mem orandum contains the following informa tion, and much more of the same general character, only the most important of the acts recited in the memorandum being se lected for mention in this abstract : A CURIOUS MEMORANDUM. President Washington was frequently absent, from the Capital. He appears to have been thus absent at least, one hun dred and eighty-oue days during his term In March, 1791, the seat of government' being then in Philadelphia, he issuei a proclamation dated at Georgetown in ref erence to running a boundry for the Dis trict, of Columbia. Ile signed at Mount Vernon an official letter to the Emperor of Morocco, and from the same place issued the commission of Oliver Wolcott as Comp troller of the Treasury, and the proclama tion respecting the whisky insurrection in Pennsylvania; also the proclamation of the treaty of 1795 with Spain and the ex ecutive order of August 4, 1792, relative to the duties on distilled spirits, etc. When at Germantown lie sif,ned sundry commis sins. He proposed to Mr. Yrujo officially presented to him at Mount Vernon as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Beni potcntiary from Spain, and Mr Yrujo went there for that purpose, but the ceremony of' presentation was prevented by an acei dental omission of the Minister to bring his credentials. President John Adams was absent from the Capital dining his term of four years on various occasions, three hundred and eighty-five days. Ile discharged official duties and perf:yrmed the most aolemn . public nets at Quincy, Massachusetts. in the same manner as when at the seat of government. Several of them are recited, and it is also specified that on the 2Sth of September, 1797, he forwarded to the Secretary of the State a commission for a Justice of the Supreme Court, signed in blank at Quincy, with in emotions to fill in the name ofJohn Mar shall, if he would except, and it wit, that of 13ushrod Washington. President Jet'. fersen was absent from the seat of govern ment during his two terma of office 796 days, or more than one-fourth of the whole offi cial period. Ile signed and issued from Monticello, among other things, 75 com missions. President Madison was absent 637 days, and President Monroe was ai, sent 7UB days, independent ol' the year 1824 and two months of 1825, rir which period no dates arc found The latter trans. acted public business wlicrev , ,3r he happen ed to be, and sometimes while traveling. President John Quincy Adams was absent during his single term 222 days, and in his mewiors (volume 8, page 75) speaks of his practice of leaving with his chief' clerk blank papers signed by him, "to be used when necessary for proclamations, remission of penalties and commissions of Consuls." He speaks also of doing this same thing in regard to patents and land grants. President Jackson was absent from the scat of government 502 days. Among other important acts performed by him when away from Washington was his signing at Boston the famous order for the removal of the deposits from the State banks. The memorandum at this point refers to President Jackson's refusal in 1833 to furnish the Senate a copy of a certain paper alleged to have been read by him to the Cabinet, and mentions that in January, 1837, he refusel to allow a com mittee of the House of Representatives to make a general investigaticn of the execu tive departments without specific charges, on the ground, amongst others, that the use of the official books and records for such a purpose interfered with the discharge of the pubic business. Other Presidents were absent from Washington and per formed numerous official duties while ab sent : Van Buren, one hundred and thir ty-one days; Tyler, one hundred and six ty-three days; Polk, thirty-seven days; Taylor, thirty-one days; Filmore, sixty , days; Pierce, fifty seven days, and Buchan nan, fifty-days. No mention is made of absences of Presidents Lincoln or John-. son. ---- Fire Record. WILLIAMSPORT, May 7.—A fire broke out here, last night about eight o'clock, in the lumber yard of Barrow & Co. Coal oil was used to start it, that liquid having been spread profusely in that part of the yard. It burned until one o'clock this morning, after destroying all the piles on about twenty acres of ground, and com prising at least 18,000,000 feet of man.- ufactured lumber, Hebard & Smith's loss is $65,000, insurance, $50,000 ; Barrow & Co.'s loss is $125,000, and insurance $lOO,OOO ; Beaver Mills lumber company's loss is $B,OOO, and insurance, $S,000; B. 11. Taylor's loss, $60,Q00, insurance $50,- 000, and the Catawissa railroad company lose about $lO,OOO in railway tracks. YORK, Pa, May 7.—Farquhar's large brick machine shops were burned this af ternoon. The iron front warehouse ad joining and the St. Charles hotel were considerably damaged, and several frame buildings, together with a considerable quantity of lumber, were totally destroyed. Other frame and brick buildings were partially destroyed. The Vigilant steamer arrived from Columbia and did good ser. vice. The total loss is probably $llO,OOO, of which Farquhar loses $lOO,OOO, his in surance being only $28,000. One hun dred and sixty hands are thrown out of employment. The fire is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. The Belfry Murder. BOSTON, May S.—lt is reported that Piper has confessed to the murder of Mabel Young, and also to the murder of the Lan dregan girl, of which he was suspected at the time, two years ago. It is quite certain Piper was the as sailant of Mary Trynan, who was myste riously beaten July 1, 1874, and is now an inmate of the lunatic asylum. He says the murder of Mabel Young and Bridget Landregan were prompted by stimulants, under the influence of which he had an in• sane desire to shed blood. His confession has not been made public. His counsel, in the Supreme Court this morning, said he would not press the motion for a new trial, in view of the conversation he had bad with Piper. Judges Colt and Lord thereupon overruled the motion. The an nouncement that Piper had confessed him self the murder of the child and a young woman caused great excitement. This morning a petition for the commutation of his death sentence, in consequence of doubts of his guilt, was numerously signed. Hiram Garretson, late President of the Second National Bank of Cleveland, died on Sunday evening of heart disease. He was'to have represented that district as delegate to the National Convention at Cincinnati next month. MoPy N.l?2,ltiros Do rent 1:!: ESTI NI; W.: 1:Y VrIIOI,Es.V!.E. --TEN ED—CO NIPLETE EV!

So wed was the affair managed that no alarm was given until all the birds were caged. The men arrested are John Kehoe, Christopher Connelly,Frank MeHugh,Micheel O'Brien, Patrick Dolan, Jr., Frank O'Neil, Patrick Butler, Michael Lawler, Dennis F. Can ning and John Gibbons. The first four and Canning are charged with having, on the Ist of June last, at Mahanoy City, conspired to murder Jesse and William Major, brothers of Chief Burgess George Major, whose murder over a year ago caused such universal indigna tion. O'Brien, Dolan, O'Neil. Butler, Donnelly, and Kehoe are charged with having conspired to murder and with be ing accessories after the fact of the murder of Gomer James, a young Welshman, who was shot dead at a fireman's picnic near Shenaudoah bawler is accused as prin cipal in the murder of Thomas Sanger and William Wren, at Raven Run. Gibbons is charged with having conspired to mur der William Thomas, of Mahanoy City. The trial of McGeehan, Rority, Duffy and Boyle for the murder of policeman B. F. Yost, of Tamaqua, got fairly under way to-day, and a general sensation was created by the testimony of a man named McPar len, who turns out to be one of the Pinker t-m detectives sent to this county by Alien Pinkerton, of Chicago, to ferret out the secrets of the Mollie Maguire Society.— lie testified that he appeared in various Farts of the country under the name of James McKenna, and that be succeeded in fully gaining the confidealce of the Mollies, For mouths he associated with them, taking notes of all their doings and making regular reports to his superior officer at Philadelphia. lie became a privileged visitor at the house of Jame Carrell, the rendezvous of the Mollies in and about Tamaqua, where he learned of the murder of Yost, and became possessed of the information which mikes him so invaluable a witness here. He met James Kerrigan, the little Mollie whose confes sion* have so materially asaisted in the great campaign against the thugs of the oil region. Kerrigan wi.l be put on the stand to corroborate MeParien. The trial bids fair to be the nowt exciting in the history of crime in the anthracite coal field, eclipsing in importance tits Kelly and Doyle trial at Mauch Chunk. The court room is daily crowded to repletion, a large part of the audience being made up of the worst men in the county, who sympathize with the murderers. The prisoners are guarded by a large force of' the coal and iron police, who are prepared for any emergency that may arise. Farming in Nebraska. We clip the following from the "Farm er." (a paper to be had free on application to the Land Commissioner B. & M. It. lt., Burlington, lowa,) as something likely to prove interesting to many of our readers. We would advise all who contemplate moving west to visit Southern lowa and Southern Nebraska beibre going elsewhere. _ . . Mr. E. W. Smith, of Ashland, Saunders county, came to Nebraska in 1870, from Grant county, Wis , and bought 310 acres of land, at $8.0) per acre from the B. & M. Railroad Co , now worth $20.00 per acre. He had 250 acres under the plow. and he finds the country adapted to all kinds of grain and vegetables. The cli mate, he says, is the best, the winters arc short, stock can feed among the corn stalks and do well the most ot' the feeding season. It is the best country I ever saw for hog raising. and corn can be grown very easily. Since I calve to Nebraska 31 families from Grant county, Wis., have settled around me. and they are all doing better than ever they did East. One of my neighbors had $5.000 and bought 240 acres of railroad land at $14.00 per acre. In three years he has doubled his capital. Nebraska is a State where a man with means may settle with great advantage. Near Harvard, in Clay county, John A. Bishoff settled in 1871, taking up a quartet section of land. At that time he had only a span:of horses and a plow, and very little other means. He has now a house, corn crib and granary, and owns two cows, sev eral head of young stock, and a small herd of fine hogs. His wheat harvest in 1875 averaged 241 bushels per acre, 611; acres in china tea wheat reaching 30 bushels to the acre. Twenty acres of corn produced 1400 bushels, or an average of 70 bushels to the acre; 13 acres of barley, 44 bushels per acre ; and oats 58 bushels per acre.— Mr. Bishoff has a young orchard of apple, peach and cherry trees, and all the trees are iu a thrifty condition. He says, "a man with the same amount of labor, can get a bigger yield from Nebraska soil than from the soil of any state East of the Missouri river." [Article No. 2.-50 lines.] Decoration Day. GOVERNOR ITARTRANFr'S ORDER. The following general order has been issued relative to Decoration Day : In accordance with the rules and regu lations of the Grand Army of the Repub. lie, Tuesday, May 30th, will be observed as a Memorial Day, to decorate, with fit ting ceremonies, the graves of our fallen comrades. In this Centennial year, when each true patriot hopes to see the proofs of peace and good will, and we meet as a united people to commemorate the events connected with the birth of' our nation, the memories of our dead comrades, whose lives were required for the establishment of that peace, should be very near to our hearts, and command our choicest offer ings. The mode in which these ceremo nies may be conducted, is left to the judg ment of Posts, but it is. suggested that they invite the co-operation of other or ganizations, and of the public generally. It is hoped the custom of preceding years of' planting flowers at the graves, will be generally observed. Where no Posts of the Grand Army are established, citizens are earnestly requested to arrange for the proper observance of the day, that the grave of each dead soldier and sailor may be appropriately honored. By order of JOHN F. HARTRANFT, Commander-in-Chief. Real% B. BEATH, Adjutant-General. Ross Winans, of Baltimore, the uian who got up a "steam gun" that was going to do such execution, early in the war, is erecting a curious building on a hill at Newport, Rhode Island. It is octagonal in shape, flat-rooled and thirty feet in di ameter inside, with an extention fifteen fe , .t long built out over the rocks. There will be no glass in the structure, shutters answering every purpose. It is said. that an organ, to be blown by steam, will be placed in tha building, and the sound of it will be heard, under favorable circum stances, six or seven miles away. Persona!

What has wrought this wondrous change ? What is that which is lurking beneath the surface of that once lovely form? Does she realize her terrible condition? Is she aware of the woeful appearance she snakes? Woman, from her very nature, is subject to a catalogue of diseases from which man is entirely exempt. Many of these maladies arc induced by her own carelessness, or through ignorance of the laws of her being. Again, many Female Dis eases, if properly treated, might tie arrested in their course, and thereby prove of short duration. They should not he left to an in exwrienced physician who does not under stand their nature, and is, therefore, incom petent to treat them. The importance of at tending to Female Diseases in their earliest stages cannot be too strongly urged. For if neglected, they frequently lend to Consump tion, Chronic Debility, and oftentimes to In• sanity. In all classes of Female Diseases, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is without to rival. No medicine has ever surpassed it. In "The People's Common Sense Medical Advis er," of which R. V. Pierce, M. D., of Buffalo, N. Y., is the author and publisher, is an ex tended treatise on WOMAN AND MLR DISEASES. Under this head, the various affections to which woman is incident are carefully consid ered, accurately portrayed, and a restorative course of treatment suggested. Every woman, as she values her life and health, should pos sess a copy of this valuable book. If she be diseased, this "Adviser" will show her how she may be restored to health, and also direct her how she may ward off many maladies to which she is constantly being exposed. Let every suffering woman heed this timelyadvice and see herself as others see her. Price of Ad viser, $1.50 (post-paid) to any address. New To-Day. ROOFS that leak are costly property. You cannot afford them. The damage to your housed crops, which results from one storm; is often more than the cost of putting your Barn-roof in order. The yearly decay of agricultural machinery and implements, arising from leaky roots on outhouses, would wore than pay the costs of roofing every shed, crib and storehouse on your farm. Your stook suffers from the drippings of your stable-roof, and the necessi ty of their lying in wet stalls. These evils affect property. but when your house-roof leaks it is worse yet ; then comfort departs, and you have a garret full of pails and pans to catch the steady streams; there are wet ceilings and falling plas ter; there is spoiled furniture, damp bedding and rheumatism; there is the anxious wife, wearied with running up stairs to guard against new leaks; it is decay, and ruin, and property wasted. ion cannot afford it.

For full information in regard to Roofing and House l'aints generally. send for our 100 page Book which is tree to all who write at once, and mention this newspaper.
