Monday.
VANDERBILT is worth a cool $100,000.-

his surplus cash let him start a newspaper.
CHARLES N. FARR, esq , of Reading,
who acted as private secretary for Gov
liartranft during his last term, has been
retained in the same capacity by Gov. Hoyt.
Tim name of Hon. Wayne McVeigh is
favorably mentioned in connection with
the Judgeship of the United States court
made vacant by the recent death of Judge
Cadwalader.
Gov. HOYT, on Tuesday afternoon, sent
the name of David 11. Lane, to the Sen
ate for confirmation as Recorder of Phila
delphia, but two-thirds of the Senators
failing to vote in the affirmative his nom
ination was rejected.
JUDGE JOHN CADWALADER, of the
United States District Court for the East
ern District of Pennsylvania, died at his
residence, in Philadelphia, on Sunday
morning, at the ripe old age of seventy
four years. The disease from which he
died was pneumonia.
A PITTSBURGLI woman, who says that
she is the widow of the late Hon. R. W.
Mackey, has taken steps to contest the will
of that gentleman. The friends and in•
timate acqn.lintances of Mr Nackey
tend that he never was married and the
woman is an imposter.
A BILL has been introduced in the leg
islature for the abolition of the office of
jury commissioner. Since the new con
stitution gives a minority representation
in the board of county commissioners, we
see no reason why the jury commissioner
system should be continued.
HON. GALUSHA A. GROW was in Wash
ington last week, and while in conversa
tion with prominent men there said that
the political sentiment in Pennsylvania
was never so harmonious, and it now looks
as if the campaign of 1880 would be the
most successful in the State for years.
ON Saturday evening last, at the little
village of Montville, in the State of Maine,
an insane man named Rowell brutally mur
dered the family of John McFarland, con
sisting of himself, his wife and grand
daughter. The murderer was afterwards
shot and killed by a neighbor whom he
had attacked.
S. W. ALVORD, esq., after a ten years'
connection With E. 0. Goodrich, esq , in
the publication of the Bradford Reporter,
disposes of his interest in the paper to Mr.
J. E. Hitchcock and retires. The new firm
will be Goodrich & Hitchcock, with the
former as editor and the latter as publisher.
We wish them success.
Ex GOVERNOR Hartranft has been ap
pointed and confirmed Major General of
the National Guard. Gov. Hoyt showed
good judgment in calling Gen. Hartranft
to the command of our citizen soldiery,
and if their services are ever called into
requisition for the suppression of riot or
insurrection, his large military experience
will be of incalculable value.
IN LAST week's JOURNAL we gave the
names of the different committees to which
Senator Fisher had been assigned, but in
doing so we neglected to mention the im
portant fact that he had been elected Sec
retary of the Finance Committee. In view
of the fact that we are asking appropria
tions for the Middle Penitentiary we are
more interested in this committee than any
other, and our people will be glad to learn
that Senator Fisher occupies ao impOrtant
and influential a position upon it.
REPRESENTATIVE DOYLE has asked for
an appropriation of $600,000 for the Mid
dle Penitentiary, and he has also intro
duced a bill for the adoption, in this State,
of the famous Virginia bell-punch, for the
purpose of taxing every glass of beer and
liquor sold over the counters of saloons
and hotels. While Mr. Doyle is in the
liquor business he should ask the House
to pass a prohibitory liquor law, and if he
could succeed in securing the passage of
such a law then there would be no neces
sity for the bell-punch.
THE Lancaster Daily Examiner and Ex
press reached us on Wednesday morning
dressed in a new suit of beautiful type and
enlarged by an increase in the length of
its columns. The paper presents a clean,
clear and neat appearance, and while its
typography is faultless, its editorial, local
and news departments are all that could be
desired. We trust its publishers will no t
act as meanly as did the New Era men,
send their paper out to country publishers
tbr a favorable notice, and when they re
ceived it cut their acquaintance from that
moment. We will be glad to have the
daily visits of the Examiner.
THE Nationalist "battled for the re
monetization of silver and Congress yielded
to the clamor." Je-ru-sa-lem ! The Na
tionalist "thundered against the further
destruction of Greenbacks and Congress
stopped their further cancellation." Je
wil i-kens T. The Nationalist "urged and
tnsisted that the Government should re
ceive Greenbacks in payment of the duties
on imports and now the Secretary of the
Treasury, without warrant of law—but be
cause the Nationalist "urged and insisted"
—has so ordered and Congress will legalize
the order." Je-mi•mah ! What a mighty
power in the land this Nationalist is any
how ! Who'd a thunk it, that with its
three or four hundred of a circulation it
could have "skeered" Congress and Sec
retary Sherman into doing what it "in
sisted" should be done Y A paper with
sueh an influence ought to "pay its way"
without double-leaded appeals to the peo
ple to throw it a iittle sop. Don't you
think it ought ?
HON. M. S. QUAY
On Tuesday afteu Gov Iloyt sent
to the Senate the name of lion. M. S. Quay
for Secretary of the Commonwealth. and
that body romptly and unanimously con
firmed his nomination. In the Harrisburg
Telegraph we find the following brief
biography of Mr. Quay which we tranger
to our columns : •
Editor,
Matthew Stanley Quay, who now re
'slimes his old position as Secretary of the
Commonwealth, was born in Dillsburg,
York county, on the 30th of September,
1833. His father was a Presbyterian
minister, and removed to Beaver in 1840,
where Colonel Quay was reared. He grad
uated at Jefferson college at the age of
seventeen, and studied law with the firm
of Penny & Sterrett. Before admission
to the bar, he spent two years in Texas
and Mississippi, teaching and lecturing,
and then returned to Beaver, where he was
admitted to the bar in 1851. In 1855 he
was appointed prothonotary to fill a vacan
cy, and he was elected in 1856 and re
elected in 1859. In 1861 he entered the
army as an officer in the Pennsylvania Re
serves, but was induced to accept the po
sition of Assistant Commissary-General un
der General Irvin, to aid Governor Curtin
in the laborious work of organizing the
troops. He was subsequently transferred
to Governor Curtin's military staff until
August, 1862, when he was appointed Col
onel of the 134th regiment.. Soon after he
was summoned by Governor Curtin to take
the important positin of State' Military
Agent at Washington. After he had re
signed to repair to Washington, General
Burnside made the attack at Fredericks
burg, and Colonel Quay, although without
a command, volunteered on staff duty, and
was iu the sanguinary charge of Humph
rey's that cost so many lives of gallant
Pennsylvania soldiers. In 1863 h€ be
came Military Secretary to Governor Cur
tin, which position he fiiled until 1864,
when he was elected to the Legislature by
the Republicans of Washington and Bea
ver, and he resigned in January, 1865, to
take his seat in the House. He was re
elected to the House in 1865, and again in
1566, and was a prominent candidate for
Speaker in the session of 1867, but was
defeated in his aspirations. In the cam
paign of 1872 be was largely instrumental
in securing a Republican victory by the
election of Hartranft to the Governorship
and Simon Cameron to the Senatorship,
and since then Colonel Quay has figured
very conspicuously in the politics of the
State. Governor Hartranft appointed him
Secretary of the Commonwealth at the be
ginning of his first term, and he was con
tinued in this important and responsible
office until the close of April, 1878. Mr-
Quay then resigned to accept the position
of Recorder of the city of Philadelphia,
under the act enlarging the duties of this ,
office. In June Mr. Quay removed his
residence from Beaver to Philadelphia.
He was selected as chairman of the Re
publican State Committee, and conducted
the campaign of last year with such ag
gressive boldness and such fertility of re
sources as to win one of the most memora
ble political victories in the history of the
State.
MORE SOUTHERN TRICKERY.
The Hat risbu a rg Telegraph says that every
day brings something new in the way of
propositions to enable the South to get
its local expenses paid out of the National
Treasury. The latest proposition in this
line is to divide the proceeds of public
lands among several States for educational
purposes. Mr. Goode, a haughty and
blatant Southerner, always ready to curl
his lip or elevate his nose at everything of
a Northern character, is t z he author of this
grand scheme, which is made solely in the
interest of the South. Pennsylvania does
not ask for such aid. Neither do any of
the other Northern, Eastern or Western
States, all of which have paid for their
own public school houses, and have all the
buildings of that class necessary to accom
modate their children. They do not de
sire to waste the public lands in this man
ner, believing that the property should be
disposed of to attain other purposes. The
Southern States, if once in possession of
such property, would divert the proceeds
to other purposes than those of education,
for which they have never given the coun
try any evidence that they desire its pro
motion and diffusion among the poor
man's children. Let the North beware of
this z - ..nare, for such it is, to waste the pub
lic lands. The national domain must be
used to attract actual settlers. In no other
way can they be turned to account by the
Government. Ex Representative Grow's
Homestead law is the feasible plan to
render the public lands of profit, to widen
and extend the channels of commerce and
increase the resources of the people. But
thie scheme of Mr Goode's is nothing
mote nor less than a bold conspiracy to
enable the tSouth to place the cost of ed
ucating its children to the account of the
National Government, and when once the
people who assume to rule that section have
this accomplished, then, as we have said,
direct the revenues in their control to in
sure the educational purpose to objects
entirely different. It is high time that
the people of the North put their foot on
all such propositions.
LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR HULL, ofFlor
ida, is under arrest, charged with frauds
at the late election by which be was re
turned ag elected to Congress over Mr.
Bisbee, in the Second district. Hulr's ap
parent election was secured by throwing
out of the count one or two Republican
counties, but even after doing this Hull's
majority was less than twenty. He is
charged with having a hand in the frauds
by which he secured his certificate of elec
tion and as he is to be tried in a United
States Court there is some prospect of
justice being meted out to him.

THE NEW PENSION BILL
Under the new pension bill, whiell 11.;s
just passed both houses of Cotrress and
received the signature of the President, all
pensious, wkeuever grimed, will CI , LICEC: , ce
from the date of the death or olin,,biliky of
the claimant. This hill will b ,refit di
reetly not less than hall a million people,
einbriicing wounded and d;sll,ied soldiers
and the widows nit 1 orphans of those who
feel in the service, and it is estimated that
it will require about $30,000,000 to carry
out its provisions. The bill wisely pravides
for the protection of claimants against the
hungry and unprincipled claim agents, by
rendering the mode of application so plain
and simple that every applicant can attend
to his own case. On application to the
Commissioner of Pensions the necessary
blanks and instructions will be furnished
without charge. For die benefit of those
of our readers who may be interested in
this matter we publish the bill in its en
tirety, asfollJws :
An act to provide that all pensions on
account of death or wounds received
or disease contracted in the service
of the United Stites during the late
war of' the rebellion, which have been
granted or which shall hereafter be granted,
shall commence from the date of death or
discha?ge from the service of the United
States fbr the payment of arrears of pen
sions or other purposes.
Be it enacted, by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States
of America in Congress assembled,
that the pensions which have been granted
under the general laws regulating pen
sions or that may hereafter be grant
ed in consequence of death from a
cause which originated in the United
States service during the continuance of
the late war of the rebellion, or in conse
quence of wounds, injuries or disease re
ceived or c:nitracted in said service during
said war of the rebellion, shall commence
from the date of the death or discharge
from said service of the person on whose
account the claim has been or shall here
after be granted or from the termination
of the right of the party having prior title
to such pension, provided the rate of pen
sion for the intervening time for which
arrears of pension are hereby granted shall
be the same per month for which the pen
sion was originally granted.
SEC. 2. 'That the Commissioner of Pen
sions is hereby authorized and directed to
adopt such rules and regulations for the
payment of the arrears of pensions hereby
granted as will be necessary to cause to be
paid to such pensioners, or if the pension
ers shall have died for the person or per•
sons entitled to the same, all such arrears
of pensions as the pensioner may be or
would have been entitled to under this
SEC. 3. That section 4,717 of the revised
statues, which provides that "no claim for
pensions not prosecuted to a successful is
sue within five years from the date of filing
the same shall be admitted without record
evidence from the War or Navy Depart
ment of the injury or the disease which
resulted in the disability or death of the
person on whose account the claim is
made, provided that in any case in which
the limitation prescribed by this section
bars the further prosecution of the claim
the claimant may present, through the
Pension Office, to the Adjutant General
of the Army or the Surgeon General of
the Navy, evidence that the disease or in
jury which resulted in the disability or
death of the person on whose account the
claim is made originated in the service and
in the line of duty. And if such evidence
is deemed satisfactory by the officer to
whom it may be submitted he shall cause
a record of the fact so proved to be made
and a copy of the same to be transmitted
to the Commissioner of Pension: and the
bar to the prosecution of the claim shall
thereby be removed," be and the same is
hereby repealed
SEC. 4. No claim agent or other per
son shall be entitled to receive any com
pensation for services fbr making applica
tion for arrears of pension.
SEC. s'. That all acts or portions of acts
so far as they may conflict with the pro
visions of this act be and the same are
hereby repealed.

Two Murderers Hanged
WILLIAM E. MERRICK AND JOHN ACHEY
SUFFER THE DEATH PENALTY AT IN
DIANAPOLIS-THEIR CRIMES.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., January 29.—The
execution by hanging or William E. Mer
rick and John Achey took place at 12.20
o'clock to-day. •At 12.32 the physicians
pronounced both men dead. Achey claim
ed that his crime was not premeditated,
and closed by saying : "The people want
a hanging, and I sin ready for it." Merrick
asserted his innocence to the last. Both
men displayed wonderful coolness, and
stepped to their places on the trap without
assistance, and with no hesitation or a
tremor visible. The arrangements of the
Sheriff were perfect and carried out with
out the slightest deviation or accident.
The necks of both men were broken
John Achey shot George Leggett in a
drinking saloon in the afternoon of July
46 last. Both were gamblers. Leggett
had arranged a game in which Achey lost
all his money. Ile had received quite a
sum from his mother's estate. Believing
he had been cheated lie sought out Leg
gett and shot hint twice, causing death in
twenty minutes. Much sympathy had ex
isted for Achey and executive clemency
had been invoked, but without avail.
William E. Merrick had lived with his
wife before marriage. She brought a has
tardy suit against him and compromised
by marrying her. On the night of Sep
tember 14 last, he invited her to take a
buggy ride. Stopping at a saloon he pro
cured a glass of wine, in which he placed
poison, taking it out for her to drink. He
then drove about the city until she was dead.
During her death struggles she gave birth
to a child. He buried his wife and child
a short distance from the city in some rub-
%here they were fou tl a a few days

To sick headache, that infallible symptom o
a disordered stomach, liver and bowels. Many
suffer from it as many as three or four times
a week. They do so needlessly, for ilostetter's
stomach (litters, by toning the digestive
organs and regulating the bowels and liver,
removes the cause, and dispels the painful
symptom. The intimate sympathy between
the brain and the abdominal region causes
the slightest disorder affecting the latter to be
retlectejol, as it were, in the organ of thought.
The reform instituted by the Bitters when the
digestive, secretive and evacuative functions
are in a state of chaos, has other and more
beneficial results, viz., the complete nutrition
of the whole physical economy, the restoration
of appetite and repose, and an increasein the
power of the system to resist diseases of a
malarial type. Dan. 'Orlin.

valuable Department of THE WEEKLY PRESS, wilt
remain in charge during the coming year, and the
mere statement of this fact will
.be sufficient to
commend this journal to all who are engaged in
Agricultural pursuits.
Financial and Commercial Department.—Nearly
all classes of readers will find our Financial and
Commercial reporp of inestimable value in their
business relations, for this news can always be
relied upon as unbiased and authoritative. The
farmer, the manufacturer and the merchant can
not afford to be in ignorance of events constantly
occurring in the business world, and to them the
information given by Tug WEEKLY PRESS is a
necessity. Our quo ations are always the very
latest that can be obtained, and are telegraphed
from all the business centres of the globe.
- Our Little People —Since this department was
started we have received many letters of congrat
ulations from both parents and children, and in
the future this feature will be made even more
prominent than in the past. It is to be placed in
charge of a talented lady, whose love for the little
folks cannot fail to guide her hand aright in the
selection of their weekly feast. The Puzzler's
Realm, which has proved so popular, will remain
in charge of its well-known editor, MR. WM. 11.
ORAFFAM, of West Scarboro, Maine.
The Editorial Department.—lt will be seen that
not only one page, but the entire paper will be
carefully edited, and nothing that could possibly
add to the value of the journal will be omitted.
The editorial page, proper, will include leading
articles on all the current topics of the hour, and
though THE Peess is Republican in principle, it
will be found that in great questions its influence
will ever be cast in favor of the right, irrespective
of partisan or other influence.
