W FRANK BAILEY, ESQ , late editor of
the Bellefonte Herald, has accepted a sim
ilar position on the Mauch Chunk Demo
crat.
Boni houses of the legislature adjourn
ed from Friday until Wednesday to give
the law-makers a chance to exercise the
rights of freemen at Tuesday's elections.
THE Senate has unanimously confirmed
ex Gov. Hartranft as postmaster at Phila
delphia, but up to this time that gentle
man has not signified hij intention of ac
cepting the position.
THE NAME of ex-Gov. Hartrauft is
favorably mentioned in connection with
the sheriffahrof Philadelphia. As far as
holding office is concerned Hartranft seems
to have been born under a lucky star.
lox. A. C. BURCITARD, of Illinois, was
on Friday last nominated for Director of
the Mint vice Dr. Linderman. The place
had been tendered A. Louden Snowden,
of Philadelphia, who, for some reason best
known to himself, refused to accept.
ON Friday last, for the first time in the
history of the country, the United States
Senate was presided over by a colored
man. Senator Bruse, of Mississippi, was
called to the chair and presided the great
er part of the afternoon of that day.
SENATOR WALLACE has been clio,:eo
chairman of the Resident Democratic Con
gressional Committee at Washington to
take charge of the preliminary operations
of the campaign of 1880. How will this
suit the Pittsburgh Post and other anti
Wallace papers ?
THE bill making an appropriation of
$20,850,000 for the payment of arrears of
pensions passed the House on Monday by
a two third vote. In the passage of the
bill fifty Smithern and four Northern
Democrats and one Republican, Bragdon,
of North Carolina, voted against it.
THE Soldiers' Orphans' Home, near
Xenia, 0., was totally destroyed by fire,
at 6 o'clock on Sunday morning. it con
tained about six hundred orphan children
who had just finished breakfast when the
flames were discovered. The loss to the
State will foot up $75,000, with no insur

THE two Houses of the Michigan legis
lature met on Tuesday last and elected
Hon. Zacbariah Chandler United States
Senator to fill the unexpired term of Sen
ator Christiancy. The vote stood as fol
lows : ZAck. Chandler, Rep. 8S ; 0. M.

H. C. CJnsuoLM, a son of Dr Chia.
holm, who was brutally murdered by a
Mississippi mob, for his political opinions,
in the Spring of 1877, has been appointed
a messenger in the Executive Department
by Gov. Hoyt. The widow of the mnr
dered man has a clerkship in the Trea/

A. A. CHASE, editor of the Scranton
Daily Times, who was sued for libel by
W. W. Scranton, was convicted on Satur
day last and mulcted in $l,OOO damages.
During the riots in Scranton in 1877, a
body of vigilantes was led by Mr. Scranton
agaiast the rioters, during which three
men were killed. The limes called Scran
ton a murderer, and a jury made him pay
51,000 for the fun of the thing.
GENERAL BUTLER significantly remark
ed yesterday that, if the Confederate sol
dier who was not wounded could have a
place in the Cabinet, he did not see why
a Confederate soldier who was wounded
could not have a pension ; and, he added,
still more significantly, that the time might
come when he would favor the pensioning
of Confederate soldiers. General Butler,
on a platform of unlimited greenbacks and
pensions for Rebel soldiers, would wake a
powerful Presidential candidate in the
South. So that the time may come, sure
enough ; but the pensions won't, or the
Presidency, either.—.Y. F. Tribune, Sat
urday.
PRESIDENT GOWEN, of the Philadel
phia and Reading Railroad, hss pub
!idled a letter exposing the secrets of the
organization known as the "Knights of
Labor," which has had an existence in
Schuylkill county for a year or more. He
says a general miners' strike was ordered
by the society to take place February 16,
case the men were not paid their wages
by that time, but a postponement was
ordered until the 20th, by which time all
will be paid. He gives the names of a
committee called McMulley's gang, ap
pointed and organized for the purpose of
burning coal breakers and other property
in case of a strike, and gives other details
of the organization. The publication of
the letter has created a sensation only sec
ond to the exposure of the murderous
Mollie Maguire society.
lION. ZACH CHANDLER, who was OD
Monday last elected to the United States
Senate from Michigan, in his speech to the
caucus which nominated him. declared
that the South was solid for repudiation,
and for millions of claims, and was kept
solid by murder, outrage, shotguns and
whips. Congress, with a Democratic ma
jority, is a rebel Congress, he says, because
the caucus rules and the rebels control the
caucus. For 1880, he seems to have de
cided that one of three candidates will lead
the Republicans, for he says : "I predict,
my fellow citizens, that, whether you nomi
nate for your standard bearer in 1880 the
man whom they didn't love and did hate,
and yet dear to the United States—Grant;
or whether you nominate that gallant
standard bearer, Blaine, of Maine ; or
whether you nominate John Sherman, the
present Secretary of the Treasury, that
you and I will march shoulder to shoulder
to rescue from the grasp of the rebel gen
erals and rebels brigadiers the capital of
the Nation."
THE CHINESE BILL PASSED.
The bill restrictiv Chinese immigration
15 on each arriving vessel, pasied the
Senate on Saturday by a vote of 39 to 27.
Of the yeas 18 were Republicans and 21
Delmer:its; of the nays. 17 were Republi
cans, and 9 Denp.crats and 1 Independent
Both the Pennsylvania S.: , nators voted in
the affirmative.
Editor.
It was sought to amend the Pleasure so
as to give the diplomatic departments of
the two Governments time to negotiate a
new treaty, or remove the objectionable
features of the present treaty by the ordi
nary methods ; but this did nut suit the
gentleman in charge of the bill, and the
amendment was lost. The same fate was
met by an amendment releasing China from
her obligations under the treaty, in view
of the fact that the United States proposes
without notice to annul the parts which
do not suit her.
By the passage of this bill Congress has
decided to violate its treaty obligations
with China, and in the language of the
Lancaster Examiner and Express nothing
stands between the nation and dishonor
but the President's veto. After forcing
from the far away Empire a treaty giving
the two countries reciprocal rights and
privileges, we violate our part of the mu
tual agreement, at the bidding of the Sand
Lot orators of the Pacific coast—in whose
interests, by the way, the treaty was or
iginally made,
By the terms of the 13urlingatne treaty,
"the United States of America and the
Emperor of China cordially recognize the
inherent and inalienable right of man to
change his home and allegiance, and also
the mutual advantage of the free migration
and emigration of their citizens and sub
jeers respectively. from the one country to
the other, for purposes of curiosity, for
trade or as permanent residents." It was
against Chinese prejudices and tradition,
but the Emperor agreed to this establish
ment of close relations with us. There is
no complaint, we believe, that he has not
faithfully executed his part of the compact.
But we break ours and laugh at China,
who is not likely to attempt any violent
expression of her displeasure. The Senate
rejected the compromise measure urged by
Messrs Hamlin and Conkling, requesting
the President to give notice at once to the
Emperor of China that the "immigration
of Chinese to this country is pernicious,"
and to promise such changes in the treaty
as would remedy the evil, the new treaty
to be reported next January ; and in case
the Chinese Government refuse to change
the treaty then this request was to be
deemed notice of the abrogation of the ob
jectionable clauses. The vote on this
amendment stood yeas 31, nays 33, which
was the most favorable count the opponents
of the bill secured. There is no party
significance attaching to the record on this
subject—Republicans and Democrats vo
ting for and against the bill. But it will
be a peculiarly bright feather in the Presi.
den't cap if he shall exercise his veto pi e
ro,,ative on the side of the Declaration of
Independence and the enlightened pro
gressive spirit of the Nineteenth Century.
OUR FOUR PER CENTS.-At the be
ginning of the year Secretary Sherman
said that he would be well satisfied if the
sale of four per cent. bonds should average
82,000,000 a day. This would enable
him to take up $10,000,000 of six per
cent. bonds each week,—and during the
year lie would be able to refund the whole
of the 1867 series. The experience of the
past month has shown that Mr. Sherman
greatly underestimated the ability of the
people of the United States to loan money
to the Government. The sale of four per
cent bonds have averaged $6,000,000 per
day,—and at this rate the bonds that re
main of the issue of 1867 ($309,606,800)
will be refunded within the next ninety
days. When these are got out of the way.
the other bonds available for refunding
are the ten-forties of 1864 ($194,556,300);
Consols of' 1865 ($26,085,550) ; and
Consols of 1868 ($37,465,300). The ten
forties have been redeemable since March
Ist, 1874, but will not be due till March
Ist, 1904. The Consols of 1865 have
been redeemable since July Ist, 1870, and
the Consols of 1868 since July Ist, 1873
When the above mentioned bonds are
taken up, no others will be redeemable
before 1881. If the funding operations
continue at the present rate, all of the
bonds that can be called in bef)re 1881
will be redeemed within the present year
-Philadelphia Press.
IF the picture the New York Herald
prints is a truthful one, Brazil must be in
a deplorable condition. For an entire
year drought, pestilence, and famine have
been raging. For two hundred years such
suffering has not been experienced; half a
million people have been swept away by
starvation and disease Small-pox and
black plague have carried off their victims
in appalling numbers, and thousands of
bodies are rottening in open trenches. At
Lagoa Funda thousands of other corpses
have been torn and devoured by wild ani
mals. The starving peasants ate their owu
offspring. In some places, including the
city of Cerea, the country has been de
populated. There have been terrible strug
gles for life by children abandoned and
young souls sold for bread. Thousands of
living skeletons were to be seen.
A WASHINGTON special says it appears
from a further examination into the de
tails of the approximate amount required
fur the payment of the arrears of pensions
that the sum so largely exceeds the origi
nal estimates that the
_Committee on Ap
propriations are loth to make an appropri
ation for the payment of these amounts
until after further deliberation has been
had on this measure. It seems that since
the passage of the bill an immense number
of new claims fur pensions have been filed
at the Department. These, with the cases
already adjudicated which came under the
provisions of the regular appropriation,
will require a sum far beyond the original
estimates submitted by the Commissioner
of Pensions. Since the above was put in
type the pension appropriation bill has
been passed.

There is 110 doubt ab iut it, Pennsylva
nia is doing lier duty nobly toward the
Soldiers' Orphans; but there remains an
individual duty in connection therewith
The act of Assembly says these Orphans
must leave the schools at the age of six
teen years, and during the present year
four luund fed uiul seven will be turned
adrift. This is the most critical part of
their lives, and just at this point the Grand
Army desires to throw around them sale
guaris
The boys desire to learn trades, be
clerks, salesmen, cashiers, farmers, etc.,
and the girls are willing and able to fill
positions as teachers, salesladies. casniers,
etc. People need not hesitate about taking
these sixteeners into their families and
confidence, fur they represent the best hi od
of the land, and possess all the elements
necessary to constitute worthy and valua
ble citiz , ns. They have received a good
cunmon-school education, having been
well trained under rigid discipline, and
are, therefore, fully c unpetent to fill any
ordinary position.
The Grand Army of the Republic have
obligated themselves to take the place of.
parents to these unfortunate children, so
far as it is possible, and consequently are
particularly anxious to have good and
suitable positions secured to those leaving
school.
Printed lists of "sixteeners" leaving
school during, the present year, giving the
locality of each school, names of princi
pals, names of the children, date of dis
charge, etc., will - be furnished those who

SHREWDNESS AND ABILITY.—IIop
Bitters so freeely advertised iu all the papers,
secular and religious, are having a large sale,
and are supplanting all other medicines.
There is no denying the virtues of the Hop
plant, and the proprietors of these Bitters
have shown great shrewdness and ability in
compounding a Bitters, whose virtues arc so
palpable to every one's observation.—Ex.
feb.2l-2t.
Our Tenure of Life
Depends in great measure upon our regard fur
or neglect of the laws of health. If we violate
them we cannnot expect to "make old bones."
But that the span of existence allotted to a
naturally delicate constitution, or one which
has been shaken by disease may be materially
lengthened, is a fact of which we have daily
proof. The vivifying and restorative influ
ence of nostetter's Stomach Bitters upon a
failing physique affords a striking illustration
of the power of judicious medication to
strengthen the hold on lif2. Restored diges
tion, compl-te assimilation, received appetite,
sound repose, these are among the benefits
conferred upon the debilitated by that supreme
renovant. With a circulation enriched, a
frame invigorated, and a nervous system
tranquilized, the invalid, after a course of the
Bitters, feels that his life tenure is no longer
the precarious thing that it was—that he may
yet enjoy a "green old age." [feb.7-Im.
