The Huntingdon Journal J. R. DURBORROW, HUNTINGDON, PENN'A - FEBRUARY 15, 1878. FRIDAY, - Circulation LARGER than any other Paper in the Juniata Valley. WILLIAM WELSH, one of Philadelphia's most useful and philanthropic citizens, died on Tuesday last. POPE Pius IX who closed his long life in Rome, at 4:57 on Thursday afternoon of la.t week, was the 257th Roman pontiff A disratch from Rome gives the particu lars of his death, as follows : "The Pope at 8 o'clock on Wednesday night, felt a sudden suffocation. He rallied several times, but said to his physicians : "Death wins this time." He was alter nately lucid and wandering. His last moments were lucid. He said : "Guard the Church I loved so well and sacredly." The immediate cause of death was the closing of the wound in the leg, which made humors mount into the lungs and brain." TEE secret of the editor of the Globe going to Harrisburg against his own in terests lies in this : The County Printing, under the Juniata Act, is given to three papers having the highest circulation.— The Local .Yews comes third on the list now, and the Globe was bound to lose the pap any way. This accounts for the milk in the cocoa-nut. The JOUR NAL has almost, if not quite, twice the circulation of the Globe, and will insert any advertisement at the same price the Globe will. It circulates among the best people in the county. The advertiser wants circulatibn ; if he is a man of sound discre tion be will get the most for his money. SENATOR FISHER, of Huntingdon coun ty, has introduced a bill to create a Central Penitentiary District, composed of the counties of Fulton, Bedford, Somerset, Blair, Cambria, Huntingdon, Union, Sny der,: Dauphin, Perry, Juniata, Mifflin, Clearfield, Clinton and Centre. The loca tion Of the institution is to be determined by a Commission after the passage of the Act. The, bill alt4o calls for an appropri ation of $lOO,OOO with which to begin work'. Judging from the reports of the crowded condition or our Eastern and Western Penitentiaries„ another one will be necessary, and there is no better nor more proper location for it than just right at Huntingdon.--.Arorristown Monitor. Must. the public be forced to admit there is a majority in the Pennsylvania Legislature so lost to all sense of propriety and decency, so forgetful of every honorable impulse, as to assume the degrading and disgusting role of servants to a knot of scurvey politicians ? By - the action thus far upon the Philadelphia Recorder bill, and the bill creating a Banking Department, one is forced to this unwelcome conclusion.—Pittsburgh Evening Telegraph. It seems to us that the leaders of the Republican party, at Harrisburg, have lost every particle of sense they everhad. and gone as mad as March bares. Do they suppose that the people will ratify sueliconduct r Out upon such diabolical wickedness ! We spit upon such Repub licanism. Let the people spew every man out who votes for either of these bills to pension favorites. an, __e Globe will continue to charge a rea sonable price for job 'work and advertising. The rat offices /nay chafge what they please. ;They are only now making public what they ;have been doing for aome time, except in the matter of public printing under the thieving ,special printing law."—Globe. All, indeed ! And this from the RAT }i1)0 announced privately, on taking charge • the Globe, that he was going to run it . mply to make it pay, and would take ad '.. rtisement s at any rate, and who knows tall well that he took them at any price coffered. A pretty fellow to talk about : is 1 ., And in regard to the special print 1' ing law, all we have to say is that we nev er charged the county a cent more per line than we charged individuals. Can you say as much ? And when you pro nonace it "The thieving Special Printing Law" you lie, and you know you are ly ing ! IT is many years since we read "Little Dorrit," that happy creation of the Great Dickens, but we do not remember, in all these many years, any thing that brought to our refection the "Circumlocution Of. fice",and "How nup to do it" as forcibly as_ the:iappointment of the blustering, bombastic, illiterate member from this enmity en the CUmmittee to investigate the late Pittsburgh riots ! "Can Such things he, Ana over-come us like a summer's cloud, Without our special wonder ?" - "We thought the Legislature of Penn iylvinia was disposed to act in good faith with the people, but this action goes forth to satisfy us that this whole business is a mere farce, gotten up at the instance of the corporation principally interested, and intended to come to nothing. Alas, alas, these people addle while Rome is burning ! THE canvass for the Gubernatorial nom ination is upon ns. Already many promi nent names have been mentioned in con nection with the office to succeed Governor Hartranft. Almost every county has its immediate favorite. Lest this county might be considered an exception we take this , opi)ortunity to second the naming of a gentlema;r,whom the people of this Val ley have always regarded with especial fa vor, growing oat of the fact, perhaps, that in early life he carried off one of Hunting don county's fair daughters,—we refer to Gen. CHARLES ALBRIGHT, of Mauch Chunk. Gen. Albright has been promi• neat in the politics of the State for many years - and yet has never been a place hun ter.' Only once has he been before the people of the State for an important office, that of Congressman-at-large, when be ran several thousand votes ahead of his ticket. Lits career in Congress was a brilliant one and ihe Republicans of the State owe him a debt or gratitude fur the able manner in which he represented them. During the late war he took an active part in the sup presion of the rebellion and fairly and honorkbly Won his stars. With Lim as oar standard bearer the Republicans would have an easy victory. We hope that our e will instruct their delegates to stip e LiPC4 rri t4a ;approaching State Con ' Teri tym, THE Local News came to the rescue of its Harrisburg champions, with a limp and a halt, as if it did not relish the job. It could not do less after having made good use of those shilly-shally specimens of the modern legislator to accomplish its purpo ses. "Have the Representatives of the peo ple any right to legislate for one class of the community more than another ?" it in nocently asks. We were not asking for any legislation; iu fact we have always been willing to let well enough alone. The existing laws, enacted long enough before the editor of the News was born, lamely provided for the publication of all matters contemplated by the Juniata Printing Act, and it has only been a question whether the spirit of the law should be violated in publishing in journals of small circulation. We contend that all legal publications should be made through the mediums which can give the greatest amount of publicity, and in this opinion we are backed by every sane man whose interests are not immedi ately affected. This and nothing more. The mere clap-trap about the interests of the people is too thin to need ventilation. There has not been a line in that journal, on the subject, that did not indicate it was acting from selfish motives. But it will avail nothing. The men who fell in to its wake and swallowed its philanthropic hook, will oppose any and every scheme that will take a dollar out of the treasury that does not pass into their individual pockets, so that there is not very much prospect ahead looking to pay for its phil anthropy. The proposition to publish in two papers, having the highest circulation, representing each of the political parties, is received with favor on all sides, and is just the spirit of the teachings of the Lo cal News, but Mr. Lindsay, like the va cillating representatives, went back on his own off-spring. Our friend, P. 11. Bence, esq., of Three Springs, a very fair and square man, in his little sheet:entitled "Our Paper," says in his issue for February : - EDITOR "We are inclined to think that there is noth ing unfair in the provision proposed "for the printing to be done in the two papers having the largest circulation and representing the two strongest parties in the county." As the provision itself regulates the price, and inter feres with any skinning. And again, we think that if the provision would become a law, it would insure to the Democrats as well as the Republicans the opportunity of reading the county advertisements. Roth parties are in terested in these advertisements, and we can not see why it should not be so arranged by law, as to require the advertising to be done in the two papers representing the two strong est parties, as all are tax-payers, and have equal interest." PROVIDING FOR THE RING. The Altoona Tribune, of the Bth inst., contains the following remarks upon the astounding conduct of the Legislature: The present Legislature, if it knows itself, is determined riot to let the Harris burg Ring suffer. If there are no offices vacant for its members, it feels called upon either to create them or rejuvenate one already in existence so as to suit the rank of the incumbent. It is proposed to create the office of Bank Commissioner, with a round salary, for the benefit of Mr. William B. Hart, who will soon retire from the State Treasury as its chief clerk. A furious and disgraceful scene was enacted in the House on WednE,:'-7 over the bill empowering the Governor to appoint a recorder for the city of Philadelphia, who shall hold the office for the term of ten years, and have the power to appoint four mercantile appraisers fur said city to bold their office for the term of two years. This sinecure is intended for the use and behoot of M. S. Quay, present Secretary of the Commonwealth, and will have an income of $35,000 to $45,000 per annum. Vari ous efforts were made to fix the salary at from $4,000 to $5,500 a year, but under the application of the party lash, the thing went through on second reading in all its naked ugliness. The political firm of Mackey, Quay, Rutan & Co. will soon be fixed. Mackey wants to be Collector of the Port of Phila delphia; Quay, Recorder of the same city ; Hart, Bark Commissioner; Rutan is a Custom house officer at Pittsburgh; Pat terson, Saperindendent Capitol Grounds. and so on. What a man can't find out in Small's Hand Book about the wild bunt after office and its gratification, apply to Harry Huhn, the ring champion provider of the Home. Possibly the people may stand this sort of thing ; perhaps they won't. They don't take kindly to taxation anyhow, and the creation of more offices tc eat oat their substance may radically revolutionize the political complexion of the next Legislature. The masses are much more independent than formerly, arid knock partisan calculations skyward when they take a notion. DEATH OP BISHOP DOMENEC.—The Right Rev'. M. Domenec, formerly Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Pitts burgh, and first Bishop of the Diocese of Allegheny, died in his native city of Tar ragona, Spain, on the sth of January. Deceased was born in 1815, and was con sequently in the sixty-third year of his age. In his fifteenth or eighteenth year he left his native country and went to France, where he spent several years fitting himself for the profession he ha.l chosen. He came to this country when a young man, and attached himself to the Lazarist order of priests, and was for a time Professor of Theology in a Lazarist College near St. Louis, Mo. Ile also devoted a portion of his early life to missionary work in various parts of the country. Later he took charge of a congregation in Germantown, this State, where he acquired the esteem of people of all religious denominations. In 1860, Father Domenec was selected by Bishop O'Conner and Archbishop Kenrick, of Baltimore, to preside over the Diocese of Pittsburgh, and the choice being ratified by the Pope he accepted the charge, and was consecrated in the Cathedral by Arch bishop Kenrick, December 9, 1860. Last spring he went to Rome, and in August left for his native town, where he died as above stated. Since the above was put in type a rumor has been circulated that the Bishop is not dead, but that he has been sentenced to imprisonment for life, for the alleged embezzlement of $BOO.OOO of the diocesan funds while Bishop of Pittsburgh. His executors have made oath that he died at the time and place above named. EX-SECRETARY or WAR WELLS, diod op Monday llst. Hos. S. T. Brows assures us that he is not an aspirant for judicial honors, and claims that we did him injustice in nam ing him in connection with the new pro jest to establish an additional Law Judge ship fa- this Judicial District. We take it all back lle admits, however, that such a project is on foot with the view of bene• firing another. lie thinks we wcre only a little sore after the repeal o!' the Printing 13d1 and. therefore, felt like giving him the benefit of a little of our spleen. To which we plead—"not guilty." But while we arc at it we way just as well say that we can scarcely see the consistency of useless ly pensioning same favorite on the tax-pay ers, at an expense of about 154,000.00 per year, and bowling incessantly about a few hundred dollars being paid to the printers for value received. It is rather strange that some men will do such inconsistent things T. But, again,isn't it more than prob able that this little scheme is in the inter est of some precious Democratic lawyer ? Trig body of Mrs. Jane Pittman, of Cincinnati, who died in that city, on Tues day, will be cremated at Washington. Pa., on Friday, in accordance with her own re quest as expressed in her written will. THE second trial of Sylvester F. Wil son, in the Jersey courts, for ticket scalp. ing, has resulted in another acquittal for the accused, and he was discharged from custody. FOUR hundred and ninety-four sixteen years old boys and girls were graduated from the different Soldiers' Orphan Schools in this State during the past year. Special Printing Bill EDITOR JOURNAL:—The G/oik and Local News of last week, both mentioned my name in connection with the Special Printing Act, and they seek to create the impression that my action in relation to the efforts to have said law repealed has not been such as it should have been in view of the fact that I am attor ney for the Commissioners. I was at first rather disposed to treat this foul slander with silent contempt, but, on reflection, I have con cluded to dignify it with a reply. If I were disposed to vindicate my conduct in regard to the efforts to repeal the Special Printing Law, it would not be necessary to furnish any argu ments, for it would be sufficient for me to point to the fact that the editors of the Globe and Local News and their confidential friends are hostile to me. Their opposition, is of itself, sufficient proof that my conduct has been prop er and consistent with the -4 uty I owe to the Commissioners. But a brief reference to a few plain facts will show how utterly false is this base charge made by these hungry journalists. Last winter an effort was made for the repeal of the Special Printing Law, and the commit tee on printing reported the bill to the Legis lature with a negative recommendation. At the opening of the presect session the effort to repeal the law was renewed, and as the law had been passed to give the Monitor a share of the county printing, the Democrats in the Leg islature opposed the repeal of it. Atter the bill had passed second reading, our Represen tatives told me that strong efforts were being made to defeat it, and they suggested, that in order to secure the passage of the repealing act, it would be better to compromise by amending the bill so as to conciliate the op position to it. Some time after this I received a printed copy of the bill with the following proviso : Res)iced, That the public printinw ' in said coun ty of Huntingdon shall hereafter be done by the two newspapers having Ihe largest circulation of bona fide subscribers representing the two strongest political parties in said county, and the price to be paid for said printing shall not be less than ten per cent. deduction from the schedule rates charg ed for printing and advertising generally it. said county. I showed the bill to the Commissioners and they expressed themselves as being in favor of it, as amended, for they said it would consid erably lessen the expense of the county print ing. The first knowledge the Commissioners or their Attorney had of this proviso was on receipt of this printed bill. The proviso was introduced at the instance of our Representa tines, Messrs. Port and Dewees, and as it was satisfactory to the Board of Commissioners and had been agreed upon by our Representa. tives at Harrisburg, I could do nothing else but favor the bill as amended. These are the plain facts in regard to this matter. The charges made by the Globe and Local News are not only false, but they are as absurd and foolish as the record which they have made on the small pox question. Their efforts to de— lude the public on that subject have already reacted on them, and while their lying in that respect may have been profitable to them, they should remember that it cost the business men of this town thousands upon thousands of dol lars—in fact more than the county printing would cost the tax-payers of this county in a century. We regret that the Editors of the News allowed themselves to get in this chan nel ; we expected the Globe to conduct itself on the old principles, and we congratulate its Editor on his ability to do so, L. S. GEISSINOER. Harrisburg Correspondence. UARRISBURG, February 13, 1878. Holding two sessions a day made things quite lively on the "Hill" during the week just pass ed. Business was pushed along rapidly and more real progress made than during any pre vious two weeks of the session. Several bills of great importance to the people were consid ered and though not passed finally the action upon them was such as to show clearly what their ultimate fate will be. One of great in terest to mechanics and laboring men as well as owners of real estate is the bill extending the benefits of the present lien law to journey men and laborers. The law now in force el lows only contractors and others who furbish material to file a lien upon buildings and pro vides no redress for laborers to whom wages may be due and-unpaid. The bill now before the House was drawn up by the mechanics of Philadelphia, and proposes to correct this un just discrimination. An amendment was offered by Mr. Neal,ofPhiladelphia,ma king the law ap ply to public as well as private buildings. He stated as a reason why the amendment should be adopted, that work on public buildings, in Philadelphia, is given out by contract, and the contractors invariably cheat the workmen out of their wages. This is rather a strong state ment, and there is no doubt thatit needs mod ifying. There are, however, swindling and bogus contractors from whom laboring men should be protected. The bill was re-com mitted to the committee on labor and industry to further perfect it and will undoubtedly pass. The bill known as the "Philadelphia Recor der's Bill," was discussed for nearly two days in the House, and gave rise to some warm, and not over-elegant charges and personalities be tween its advocates and opponents. The de bate was confined pretty much to the Phila delphia delegation and the speakers were in— terrupted by sereeches aed groans and other demonstrations, peculiar to this element of the legislature. The bill empowers the Governor to appoint a Recorder for the city of Philadel phia, who shall hold office for ten years and appoint five Mercantile Appraisers who shall hold office for two years. An effort was made on Friday last, to cor rect a great abuse, that has existed in the House for several years past. It has been the habit of a few, and for the honor of our State we are glad to say a very few, members of the House, to vote in the names of the members who were absent from the Hall when their names were called by the clerk. Sometimes the cheat is discovered and sometimes it is not. If, when the call of the yeas and nays is finish ed, some member calls attention to the fact that a member recorded as voting is not in the House, some brazen rooster will arise and say, "0, he was here when his name was called, but he has just gone out." There is generally no satisfactory way of proving that this is not true, and the matter drops. Sometimes the vote is stricken off, but no body has ever been punished for this species of ballot-box stuffing. Mr. Jackson, of Mercer, one of, if not the, lea ding Republican members of the House and the Auditor General elect, Mr. Schell, one of the Democratic leaders, made an attempt to combine the honest element on both sides and make a rule that "no vote shall be recorded, unleis the member voting, shall rise in his proper place, and remain standing until his vote is recorded." As this changed a rule of the House, it required a two-third vote to adopt it. This it failed to get and was there fore lost. One of the remarkable things con nected with the vote upon this question is, the WINNM6 fact that two votes were cast against it in the names of members who were not present. These fellows don't scare worth a cent. A bill was introduced into the House on Friday, prodding that all corporations asking for legislation from the State, must accept and comply with all the conditions of the new coo stitution before their requests can be consid ered. This is intended principally to compel railroad companies, whose charters were grant ed before the new constitution was adopted to do away with the free pass system. The evening of February 12th, has been set apart, for the consideration of the local option bill in the house. This order was merely adopted out of courtesy to the friends of the measure and is no indication of the strength of the bill. In fact, it has no strength with the present legislature, but its supporters are a plucky set of fellows and seem determined to offer battle upon all occasions, no matter what the odds may be against them. After a long and spirited contest, the reso lution to appoint a special committee to in vestigate alleged frauds in the Agnew-haslet contested election case has been adopted and the committee appointed. They will probably go to Forest county next week and begin the investigation. A bill was introduced yester day appropriating money to pay the expenses of the investigation. Both the Senate and House will adjourn over from the 15th to the 20th inst., so as to allow members to be at home on election day. B. E. F. Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron E F.

A. W. WRIGHT, D. B. WEAVER, ) ',- Commissioners. J We the undersigned Auditors of Huntingdon county, Penna., elected and sworn according to law, report that we have met, did audit, adjust, and set tle according to law, the account of G. Ashman Mille, esq., Treasurer of the county, and the or ders of the Commissioners and receipts for the same, for and during the past year, and Sr d a balance due the county, by the County Treasurer, G. Ash man Miller, esq., of three thousand seven hundred and sixty-four dollars and thirty-one cents ($3,764. 31.) . . EXPLANATION, We find that the commissions allowed on $4,- 900 00, in the account of L. 8. Geissinger, esq., Attorney for Commissioners, was not really coca missions, as the order states, but was paid for services as Attorney. SUGGESTIONS Each order drawn by the Commissioners should, on the face of it, bear a full explanation of itself, which would save much time and trouble at the Annual Settlement. As a large amount was paid for extra work on bridges, we would recomnend that contracts be so drawn as to prevent such charges. And, also, that the Commissioners see that the Assessors make a proper return of all property subject to State tax, as we found several townships having no State tax assessed.
