Circulation LARGER than any other
Paper in the Juniata Valley.
THE Additional Law Judge project, we
suspect, has gone to the bottom. It was
wanted by no one save those who wished
to fill the place.
THE "Big Fee" business, at Harrisburg ,
is creating a bad odor. It is astonishing
what ingenious ways they originate down
there to raise the wind. It takes money
to run the machine, and this is one of the
ways of doing it without an appropriation.
THERE appears to be a larger crop of
toadies at Harrisburg this year than
usual. There are hardly half a dozen Re
publicans in the House who can stand up
against the party lash. Backbone is at a
discount down there. Heavens how ha
THE election in New Hampshire, on
Tuesday last, resulted in a sweeping victory
for the Republicans. They elected their
Governor, and the Democrats concede them
a majority of fifty in the house and the
carrying of eight out of the twelve sen
atorial districts.
IT is hinted that there is going to be a
spirited contest for the control of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, at the Annual
election. A fuller representation of the
stock is expected than has been known for
years. The opposition to Thomas A. Scott
is becoming formidable.
GOLD was down to 101 on Saturday
last. Thus we go. The gold-bugs are not
so confident now as they were a few weeks
ago. Business is already looming up on
every hand. We have two bows to our
string now and we feel as "independent as
a wood sawyer with two bucks and two
saws."
THE Legislature has not succeeded in
creating offices for all of the numerous Ring
favorites as yet unprovided for, and until
it does there is not much prospect of its
adjourning. Let every fellow be pensioned.
It will come to this in the end it Harry
Hahn is to run the machine, and it may
as well be done now as again.
AT the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the P. R. R., held in Philadel
rhia, on Tuesday last, Gen. Lemuel Todd
charged the management of that corpora
tion with incompetency, an I urged the
infusion of new blood into it, the cutting
down of the corps of officers and the re
duction of the fabulous salaries now paid
to some of them. His remarks were
greeted with hearty cheers.
THE Pittsburgh Telegraph is one of the
most fearless, independent Republican
papers in the State. It calls things by
their right names. This is what is wanted
at this time. Independence may save the
Republican party. As it now stands it is
merely the Sinbad with the Ring dancing
about its neck. If it can cast it off and
crush its head it may survive, if not it
will go to the wall. It is true that the
leaders are mad but they stick worse than
Stanton.
THE leaders of the old political parties
hardly know what to make of the gay,
plump, erect, young rooster just from To•
ledo. The miserable, old, drooping, be.
drappled, shabby-looking fellows eye him
with much interest, and fear to attack him
single-banded. There is a wonderful
amount of caucusing and speculating as
to how they may rob him of his plumes
But he will keep on in the even tenor of
his ways without turning either to the
right or to the left.
THE Philadelphia Sunday Press says :
We do not hear so much about the country
going to the devil now as we did ten days
ago. A decided change has conic over the
spirit of the gold-bug organs. They have
become perfectly docile; in fact, seem to
be awe stricken at the practical workings
of the Silver bill. All their predictions
have gone for nothing, and the wisest have
shown themselves to be consummate asses
in matters of finance, and should at once
drop all further discussion of that subject
until they have made themselves masters
of it.
THE "Recorder Bill," at the latest ac
counts from Harrisburg, had not been
forced through the Senate under the im
mediate pressure of the whip and spur.—
The Philadelphia Ledger, speaking of this
piece of iniquity, says :
"The state senate is respectfully notified
that the select and common council of
Philadelphia, have passed, by unanimous
votes in both branches, a resolution re
questing the defeat of the "Recorder's
bill"—which is a bill to compel the mil
liners, trimming store keepers, small trades_
man, mechanics and others in Philadelphia
to return tribute in the shape of compul
sory fees towards making a lucrative salary
for an utterly useless office."
THE Legislature is trying to make up
for its political profligacy by throwing a
large sop to the religious element. There
are in the State of Pennsylvania several
thriving societies of Seventh Day Baptists,
who are as moral, as religious and as in
telligent as any of their neighbors who
belong to the orthodox churches, but they
believe in the llrth commandment, and
because they do, and labor on Sunday,
they are hounded down, persecuted and
reviled worse than ordinary felons, and
there can be no exemption for then ! Oh
co)! Tbis is a violation of the Con
stitution of the United States, but what of
that ? It makes no difference to the
average orthodox Christian. If a man
wants immunities be must be orthodox.—
If there is any one thing that would make
an infidel or as atheist out of a man of
ordinary common sense it would be the
conduct of many of those who claim to be
Christians.
TIRE WORKS WONDERS, and so does HUNT'S
REMEDY. Dropsy, Bright's Disease, Kidney,
Bladder and Urinary Complaints, and Reten
tion and Incontinence of Urine, are cured by
HUNT'S REMEDY. Female Weakness, Gravel,
Diabetes, Pain in the Back, Side and Loins,
„are Caret-43y - HUNT'S, REMEDY.
Harrisburg Correspondence.
- EDITOR
The regular legislative business of the week
past has been principally routine. A large
number of bills have been advanced upon the
calendar. The discussion has been principally
upon local measures. The Philadelphia Re
corder's bill and the bill creating a State bank
ing department—the two most important meas
ures of the session are virtually in the same
position they were last week. The Bank bill
has been sent to committee twice during the
week, and again stands upon the Senate cal
ender for final passage, amended so as to re
store bank assessors, the first time it was sent
to committee a second time and when it again
appeared among its amended provisions was
the section abolishing bank assessors. If pass
ed at all it will most likely be in its present
shape.
The all important event of the week has
been the developements in regard to alleged
irregularities in the collection of State taxes
due from the "Union railroad and Transporta
tion company." The facts in connection with
this case have been so thoroughly mixed up
with newspaper and street gossip that it is
almost impossible to arrive at any correct
statement of the affair. It seems that in Oc
tober last at the time when the above mention
ed company went into liquidation it was dis
covered by Messrs. Simonton and Olmstead—
the first, formerly corporation clerk, in the
Auditor General's office and at present a law
student, and the second a prominent attorney
of the Harrisburg bar—that a large amount of
tax aggregating some $200,000 was under the
law due from but unpaid by the corporation
above mentioned. These gentlemen "taking
time by the forelock" went to the officers of
the accounting department and the Attorney
General and proposed to collect this tax for a
commission of ten per cent. An agreement to
this effect was drawn up by Messrs. Simonton
and Olmstead and signed by the chief clerk of
the Auditor General's office, by the State Treas
urer and by the Att'y General in person. The
tax to the amount above named less an abate
ment of about $lB,OOO was promptly paid over
by the corporation without litigation to Sim
onton and Olmstead who upon the receipt of
a warrant upon the State Treasurer drawn by
the Auditor General for their commission of
ten per cent. paid over to the Commonwealth
the amount collected, viz : $191,000.00 upon
which their commission was
. .
The large amount of the fee paid in this case
soon attracted attention and the matter began
to be generally gossiped about on the ;till"
and in the city. At length certain articles
were published in a daily paper in Lancas
ter which were in the nature of an adverse
and severe criticism of the transaction and
which cast reflections of a serious charac
ter upon all parties whose names were append
ed to the contract under which the money was
collected, and upon the present corporation
clerk in the Auditor General's office, Wm. F.
Bayard, whose name does not appear upon any
of the papers connected with the contract, and
who denies any improper connection with the
affair. Now a legislative investigation has
been demanded by both sides and the follow.
ing committee appointed by the Senate, are
sitting upon the case, Senators Clark, Gazzam,
Davies, Herr and Peale, are sitting upon the
case. A number of witnesses have been ex
amined, the most important of whom was Jno.
McMurray, who made some damaging disclos
ures. The testimony of Mr. Bayard has not
yet been given,and until all the testimony has
been taken, your correspondent deems it ad—
visable to express no opinion on the subject.

Apples of Gold in Pictures of Silver,
"A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold
in pictures of silver." When the body
becomes diseased, the mind is thereby neces
sarily influenced. National wars, State dissen-.
sions, neighborhood broils, and family differ
ences, are more frequently than otherwise the
result of diseased and disordered constitutions.
When the body is suffering, the mind, acting
in sympathy, will become irritated and per
plexed. When the physical system is in
health, the mind perceives things in their true
light, and the disposition assumes a very
different Abase. Nothing more directly tends
to destroy the happy, cheerful disposition of
a woman, and render her peevish, nervous,
and fretful, than a constant endurance of
uterine disorders. The diseases peculiar to
woman take away the elasticity and bouyancy
of health and reduce her body and mind to a
mere wreck. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion is a real peacemaker in a family. No
woman suffering from uterine disorders can
afford to be without this remedy. The Favor
ite Prescription saves unnecessary doctor bills,
prevents divorces, wards off suicides, brings
back buoyant joyous feelings, restores the
woman to health and her family to happiness.
It is sold by all druggists.
