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.

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.

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.

The first four and Canning are charged
with having, on the Ist of June last, at
Mahanoy City, conspired to murder Jesse

Burgess George Major, whose murder over
a year ago caused such universal indigna
tion. O'Brien, Dolan, O'Neil. Butler,

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.

Behold that pale, emaciated figure. with
downcast eye, like some criminal about to
meet her fate See that nervous, slistrustfal
look, as she walks along with a slow and un•
steady step. The pink has left her cheeks' and
the cherry her lips. The once sparkling,
dancing eyes are now dull and expressionless.
The once warm and dimpled bands are now
thin and Nail. ller beauty has fled. 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.

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. Our Slate Rooting Paint
will end your difficulties and make your roofs
water-tight. For NEW roofs, our Rubber Roofing
Felt covered with Slate Rooting Paint will give
satisfaction to any one. For full information in
regard to Roofing and House l'aints generally.
