THE Pension Bill passed both Houses
of Congress, received the signature of the
President, and is now a law.
POSTMASTER HARTRANFT entered Upon
the duties of his office on the Ist inst. He
used to lick the rebels, but he now licks
postage stamps.
AT THE recent meeting of the Western
Pennsylvania Editorial Association Uncle
Jake Zeigler, of the Butler Herald, was
chosen President for the ensuing year.
A LARGE livery stable was burned in
New York city, the other night, and forty
three horses, some of them valuable ani
mals, perished in the flames. The estima
ted loss is $lOO.OOO.
A DISPATCH from San Francisco states
that the President las burned in effigy aL
San Benito on Monday, for his veto of
the anti-Chinese Bill. We suppose such
creatures as Dennis Kearney were the lead
ers in the matter. President Hayes can
afford to stand all this.
IN the State Senate, a few days ago,
Mr. Jackson presented a remonstrance
from Judge Cummin, of Lycoming county,
and two hundred lumbermen, against the
location of the Middle Penitentiary at this
place, and asking that they be attached to
the Eastern district.
Taz President has issued his proclama
tion calling an extra session of the XLVIth
Congress to convene on Tuesday, the 18th
inst. This step is necessary on account of
the failure of the last Congress to make the
necessary appropriations for the legislative,
executive and judicial expenses of the Gov
ernment for the ensuing year.
A MAN named Robert M. Martin, who,
eight years ago, was a millionaire, and in
his prosperous day had given $lOO,OOO to
New York churches, was, on Friday last.
in the same city, sentenced to five days'
imprisonment for the larceny of a shirt
and coat from the hall of a boarding house.
Such is life; the millionaire of to day is
the beggar of to morrow.
DON PIATT, the blackguard editor of
the Capital, a paper published in Wash
ington, D. C., got a deserved thrashing
from Wm. M'Garrahan, in the lobby of
the United States Senate Chamber on the
evening of the 26th ult. For months
past, Don Piatt had been traducing the
character of this gentleman through the
columns of his vile sheet, and the sound
drubbing he received was richly merited•
THE Altoona Tribune's "queer story"
about the locating of the Middle Peuiten
tiary, is nothing more than a lie out of
the whole cloth. In the first place Sena
tor Fisher was not a member of the com
mittee on location, and had no voice in
the matter at all. Huntingdon was cho
sen on its merits alone, and this "queer
story" is merely one of the old campaign
lies revamped by the enemies of Senator
Fisher. This is all there is in it.
THE Johnstown Daily Tribune entered
upon the seventh year of its existence on
Monday morning last, and in stating this,
its editor does a little figuring to find out
the cost of running it during the six years
of its life, which foots up the snug little
fortune of $60,000. The Tribune is a pro
greaaive, wide-awake paper, and we are
pleased to know that the people of Cam
bria appreciate and liberally sustain it .
May it live many years to come, and its
editor become a millionaire.
Wi have neglected up to this time to
acknowledge the receipt of a copy of Geo.
P. Rowell & Co.'s Newspaper Directory
'or /879. This firm has been issuing sim
ilar publications for a number of years
past, but we think the last edition is the
best of all, and is of incalculable value to
advertisers. its list of newspapers em
brace the best in the country. The book
is prepared with great care and reflects
credit upon this enterprising firm.
THE Altoona Mirror ceased to exist on
Friday last, but on Monday morning the
late proprietors of the defunct paper com
menced the publication of another daily
under the name of The Democratic Call.
The Call is considerably larger than the
Mirror, and t:11 champion the cause of
Democracy, which will be a good thing
for the Republicans, as no great length of
time will elapse before it and the Sun will
be pulling each other's hair. T. P. Ryn•
der, late canvasser and solicitor for the
Sun, occupies a similar position on the
new paper. We wish the enterprise finan
cial success.
THE Auditors have unearthed an im
mense amount of crookedness in the trans
actions of the Directors of the Poor of
Cumberland county. They have found
illegal bills to the amount of $7,300, of
articles purchased for the private use of
these worthies. Among the number was
a barrel of whiskey, vouched for under the
name of "cattle and hogs." .As the in
culpated Directors are well•to. , io farmers
they will have the pleasure of paying these
bills out of their private funds, and may
be suffer imprisonment also, as there seems
to be a universal demand for their pun
ishment by the defrauded people of that
county.
THE PRESS of the State is almost a
unit in condemning the increased repre
sentation in the legislature as provided for
in the new constitution. There is no
earthly use in Huntingdon county having
more than one representative, and if our
people get the opportunity to vote on the
amendments now pending in both branches
of the legislature, restoring the representa
tion to what it was before the adoption of
the new constitution, they will vote almost
unanimousely in the favor of the measure.
This increased representation causes a use
less expenditure of thousands of dollars.
The people demand that this wholesale
expenditure of their money be stopped at
/be earliest possible moment.
THE DEFUNCT "NATIONALIST
.1f so quick' y I was done for,
1 wonder why 1 was begun for
Editor,
Some eleven months ago the Greenback
ers of this town, elated over the Spring
Election, and so short-sighted as to sup
pose that this was a sample of the manner
in which they wutild do things evermore.
conceived the idea of starting an organ
for their party. They were even so en
thusiastic as to raise money to pay the
private debts of a man in Norristown in
order to get a first class editor. There was
much talk, and their expectations ran high.
The paper was started. /lifter a few months
the editor was slid mit add another slid in
Forty-seven issues of the paper, all toll,
have appeared, and on Monday last the
wild, disconsolate, soul-crushing news was
gently wafted to the remnants of the or
ganization that the Natiumt/ist had given
up the ghost. Hence this obituary ! Hence
these tears !
For the benefit of thinking men, let us
look at the lessons suggested by the career
of this paper. Lives of great men are al
ways full of instruction.
The superlative folly of starting this pa
per was manifest from the beginning to
all persons capable of forming an intelli
gible idea on the subject. In the first
place the men who stood in the front ranks
in urging the establishment of the paper,
were men who either had not the means
or were not willing to pay the expenses
continually necessary to carry it on. Most
of them were of that class alio already owed
printers' bills which they had neglected
to pay, had refused to pay, or were not
able to pay. The very idea of starting a
newspaper dependent on such materiv; for
support is sublimely preposterous. was
from the start only a question of time. It
was at most only an ephemeral, fitful life
of a few months or a year. It. of necessity,
depended on the amount of credit to be
obtained and gullibility to be found. Hav
ing no place in the wants of the people, a
very limited income, heavy expenses, no
credit, no one willing to waste his money
in the vain effort to keep it a going, it has
come to the inevitable end.
In the second place, the folly of starting
this paper is apparent from the polities
which it advocated. There is only room
for two great parties in this country. Side
issues and diversions after peculiar ideas
must have a short life. These third parties
have often arisen, but they soon die. His
tory is full of them. They made a great
noise. They sometimes elected some men
to office, but the waves of time rolled over
them, and they are gone. Many of their
names are forgotten. In half a century
hence, history itself will hardly condescend
to notice the Greenback party. In a coun
try town where there were already four
newspapers established, it was folly from
the start to rely on the fleeting shadows of
an ephemeral party.
While we say this of the Greenback
party in general, itbwas still greater folly
to rely on it in Huntingdon county than
anywhere else. Here its life depended on
its being a feeder to the Democratic party,
in fact it was born for that purpose. We
know that John Dougherty, esq., and some
other impracticable theorists, call "Hun
tingdon county the cradle of the financial
theory of the National Labor-Greenback
party." Nevertheless, bad not the Dem'
ocrats needed some side-issue again to aid
them in electing their men, there would
have been a blissful ignorance in this
world of Doughterty's 'cradle" until the
end of time. The Rag Baby here was the
legitimate issue of Democracy. The ob
ject was to fool some Republicans to help
them. It partially succeeded. They don't
need the paper now. Speer & Co. want
all the patronage for their own paper.
There is no ticket worth talking about
next fall. By the fall of 1880, they can
start up another concern. It's too expen
sive to keep up the .Nationalist all this
time. They want a breathing spell between
drinks. They have left it die, as they
don't need it now.
The Republicans who have been whee
dled into this movement to help the Demo
crats can now see where they are, and
should at once return to the onward march.

publican party that once saved the country

RESIGNATION OF SENATOR H. G.
FISHER.
After mature deliberation, and consul
tation with leading Republicans in Wasli
ington, }lon. Horatio G. Fisher, on Mon
day afternoon last, presented to Gov. Hoyt
his resignation as Senator from the Thir
ty-third District of this State. Mr. Fish
er had another year to serve as Senator,
but the question presented itself to him
whether his service as Senator, after the
commencement of his Congressional term,
might not give the Democrats a pretext
for declaring his seat vacant. To avoid
trouble of this kind, Mr. Fisher deemed
it best to resign his seat in the State Sen
ate, which he did on the 3d inst., one day
before the commencement of his Congres
sional term. This leaves us without a rep
resentative in the Senate, but as there
will be no necessity for a session next win
ter unless the "ten dollar boys" fail to do
their duty during the present, and thus
pave the way for another suck at the pub
lie teat, we don't see that our district can
suffer much by the resignation of Mr.
Fisher.
During Mr. Fisher's service in the Sen
ate he has proven himself an attentive,
faithful, and able representative, and has
made a record for himself of which he may
justly feel proud. He was called from a
lucrative business, against his personal
wishes, to serve our people in an official
capacity, and how well he discharged the
confidence reposed in him is evidenced by
the fact that before his Senatorial term ex
pired the same people called him to fill a
still higher political station. This is an
honor rarely bestowed upon a public ser
vant. While we are sorry to lose the ser
vices of Mr. Fisher in the Senate, where
be stood the peer of any other member of
that body, we console ourselves with the
fact that he has been called to a higher
plane of usefulness, where we predict for
him an equally brilliant and honorable
career, and where the interests of Penn
sylvania will be carefully guarded.
A RiGHTEOUS VETO
By veo:ing the anti Chinese emigratiou
hill President llayei has shown Ilia sound
judgment and placed America right. before
the world. Our country could nut alhrd
to commit the grave error of ahregiting a
treaty of our own seeking to appea - 4.;
clamor raised against the Chinese I,y the
foreign element of the Pacific coast. The
message, which is of considerable length.
I goes into the his:ory of our treaty relations
with the Chinese Empire and of thll emi
gration of Chinese subjects. It deals very
plainly with the method by which the bill
proceeds as a false pretense, points out
that as the limitation of numbers of emi
grants to he brought has no relation to the
size of ships, and is not otherwise a pro
vision fur the safety of passengers, it is a
subterfuge the purpose of which is to sup
press a right guaranteed by the treaty. It
then touches the provision for the abroga
tion of two articles of the Burlingame
treaty, and points out that these articles,
if we are to keep the treaty, are the very
ones that would give. us the right to de
mand of the Chinese themselves the cor
rection of abuses in emigration. It is the
theory of the message, apparently, that all
our treaty provisions with China must
stand or fall together; that the Burlingame
treaty and the treaty of 1858 are, in fact,
one treaty, amplified by additional clauses,
and all our commercial relations with the
Chinese Empire stand upon that treaty
and should not he imperiled in order to
remedy evils that can be as efficiently
remedied in another way. There are peo
pie who believe all the allegations made
about the bad character of the Chinese
emigrants, and others who believe that
those stories are mere chimerical tales, in
vented in the interests of the agitators
but even those who - give full faith to all
that is said do not want to get rid of the
evil except in an honorable way. People
do not want ~Lo discredit the nation in or
der to keep out of San Francisco an ele
ment of population which may be dis
orderly, for the disorders of which the
government of that city is as much re
sponsible as the emigrants themselves. The
concluding paragraph of the message reads
as follows:
The bill before me does not enjoin upon
the President the abrogation of the entire
Burlingame treaty, much less of the prin
cipal treaty of which it is made the sup
plement. As the power of modifying an
existing treaty, whether by addition or
striking out provisions, is a part of the
treaty making power under the Constitu
tion its exercise is not competent for Con•
gress, nor would the assent of China to
this partial abrogation of the treaty make
the action of Congress, in thus procuring
an amendment of a treaty, a competent
exercise of authority under the Constitu
tion. The importance, however, of this
special consideration seems superseded by
the principle that a denunciation of a part
of the treaty, not made by the terms of
the treaty of itself separable from the rest,
is a denunciation of the- whole treaty. As
the other high contracting party has en
tered into no treaty obligations except such
as include the part .denounced, the dentin
elation by one party of the part necessarily
liberates the other party from the whole
treaty. lam convinced that whatever
urgency might in any quarter or by any
interest be supposed to require an instant
suppression of further emigration from
China no reasons can require the immediate
withdrawal of our treaty protection of the
Chinese already in this country, and no
circumstance can tolerate an exposure of
our citizens in China, merchants or mis
sionaries, to the consequences of so sudden
an abrogation of their treaty protections
Fortunately, however, the actual recession
in the flow of emigration from China to
the Pacific coast, shown by trustworthy
statistics, relieves us from any apprehen
sion that the treatment of the subject in
the proper course of diplomatic negotia
tions will introduce any new feature of
discontent or disturbance among the com
munities directly affected. Were such de
lay fraught with more inconveniences than
have ever been suggested by the interests
most earnest in promoting this legislation
I cannot but regard the summary disturb
ante of our existing treaties with China as
greatly more inconvenient to much wider
and more permanent interests of the coun
try. I have no occasion to insist upon the
more general considerations of' interest and
duty which sacredly guard the faith of the
nation in whatever form of obligation it
may have been given. These sentiments
animate the deliberations of Congress and
pervade the minds of our whole people.
Our history gives little occasion for any
reproach in this regard, and in asking the
renewed attention of Congress to this bill
I am persuaded that their action will main
tain the public duty and the public honor.
The bill was taken up in the House on
Saturday evening, but failed of the requi_
site two thirds majority, and consequently
the veto kills it.
THE Harrisburg Telegraph utters an un
deniable truth when it says that the new
Democratic issue is, exemption from pun
ishment for every Southern man who vio
lates the election laws, by their instant re
peal, or a defeat of all appropriations to
carry on the Government. We knew it
would come to this issue sooner or later.
The South intends to rule the country to
suit its own interests and views of what is
right, or ruin it. That issue was defined
two years ago by a solid South, when it
began to starve the Federal army and de
grade the navy ; it was carried into practi
cal effect when it declined to vote the ne
cessary appropriations to carry on the civil
serVice of the Government, and it is now
to be further exemplified in securing the
escape of a class of desperadoes who have
banded themselves and sworn to obstruct
the exercise of the elective franchise by a
colored man in the South, unless he sub
mits to enjoy it at the dictation of his old
masters. Is it the revival of an old issue,
deemed dead, or is it a new issue born with
the advent of the Democratic party to
power in Congress ? It is worth while
that the people of the North make some
inquiry on the subject, and come to some
instant understanding how to proceed in
the premises.
THE Chinese in California pay annually
$200,000 in poll-taxes alone, besides prop_
erty nixes and licenses, while the black.
guard of the sand lots, and chief of San
Francisco hoodlums, Dennis Kearney, pays
but a simple poll tax, and only pays this
in order that he may have the privileg e
of voting. This is the difference between
the persecuted and their persecutor.

early hour this morning a vote was taken
on a motion that the Senate recede from

It was defeated, and the Senate by a vote
of twenty-nine to twenty-lbur, insisted on
its amendment to the bill. A new con•

eight A. M., took a recess until 10 o'clock.
Upon re-assembling. at ten the Senate was

At 1.40 A. M.. the conference commit tee

couldn't agree, and a motion was made
' that the House insist on its disagreements.
After spirited discussion it was agreed to
At three o'clock the Sewari impeachment

declined to vote, so there was no quorum
Mr. Potter suggested to Mr. Springer that
he now withdraw the report, and after a
brief discussion the House reconsidered
the vote ordering the previous question,
and the matter was then dropped. At
0.30 the committee appointed to investi
gate the charges against Speaker Randall
made report. which states that every state

to be printed, and it being by this time
evident that there was nothing to be pin

9 A. M.
.Nothwithstanding the partisan feeling
which pervaded both sides at the night
session, there was a remarkable absence of
personal feeling, There was much tumult,
but less of it than on previous closing
nights Among the sprightliest after the
long session of twenty-two hours were
many of the old members The Speaker
was seldom out of his chair, and steered
the House adroitly through the sudden
storms which arose.
The House reassembled at nine A. M.,
and passed several minor bills. The space
in front of the Speaker's desk was soon
filled with a gesticulating crowd holding
bills in their hands and cremaridiug recog
nition, but objection was made to most of
them. The House insisted on its disagree

ference was appointed. What is known as
-the M'Gowan health bill" was then
passed. It provides for a commission to
sit in Washington to establish regulations
fUr the public health.
A motion to suspend the rules and con

STRENGTLIENINO-HE THREATENS MORE
VETOES
WASHINGTON, D. C , March 4 —At
eleven o'clock this morning no agreement
on the legislative and army bills had been
reached. The Republican conferees had
a conference with the President this morn
ing, who said that be would stand by them
in opposition to the repeal of the election
laws and other revolutionary measures.
The conservative Democrats are greatly
demoralized after the debates of early
yesterday and this morning, but the radi
cal wing declare that they will filibuster if
the Democrats on the committee of con
ference abandon their efforts to repeal the
election laws. Mr. Evarts says there will
be no Executive session, and an extra ses
sion will be called early. If the Democrats
then pass bills with these revolutionary
measures incorporated therein, the Presi
dent will veto them.

Dyspepsia ! Dyspepsia ! Dyspepsia !
Dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all
human ailments. Its symptoms are almost
infinite in their variety, and the forlorn and
despondent victims of the diseases often fancy
themselves the prey, in turn, of every known
malady. This is due, in part, to the close
sympathy which exists between the stomach
and the brain, and in part alio to the fact that
any disturbance of the digestive function
necessarily disorders the liver, the bowels
and the nervous system, and affects, to some
extent, the quality of the blood.
E. F. Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron a sure
cure. This is not a new preparation, to be
tried and found wanting, it has been prescribed
daily for many years in the practice of eminent
physicians with unparalleled success. It is
not expected or intended to cure all the
diseases to which the human family is subject
but is warranted to cure Dyspepsia in its
most obstinate form. Kunkel's Bitter Wine
of Iron never fails to cure. Symptoms of
Dyspepsia are loss of appetite, wind and rising
of the food, dryness of the moutb, heartburn,
distension of the stomach and bowels, con
stipation, headache, dizziness, sleeplessness
and low spirits. Try the great remedy and be
convinced of its merits. Get • the genuine.

Suffering for a Life Time.
Persons afflicted with rheumatism often
suffer for a life time, their tortures being
almost without remission. The joints and
muscles of such unfortunate. are in most cases
shockingly contorted and drawn out of shape.
To afford them even temporary relief, the
ordinary remedies often prove utterly useless.
Elostetter's Stomach Bitters, ou the other
hand, is vouched by persons who have used
it, to be a genuine source of reiief. It keeps
the blood cool by promoting a regular habit
of body, and removes from it impurities which
in the opinion of all rational pathologists,
originate this agonizing coil:plaint and its
kindred malady, the gout. Besides this the
Bitters remedy disorders of the stomach, liver
and nerves, prevent and eradicate intermittent
and remittent fevers, promote appetite and
sleep, and are highly recommended by phy
siciaus as a desirable medicinal stimulant and
