FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 1879
Circulation LARGER than any other
Paper in the Juniata Valley.
HON SIMON CAMERON was eighty years
old on Saturday last. He is well preser
ved and bids fair to live a score of years.
THE editor of the Easton Free Press, D
B. Wood, esq , has been arrested and held
to bail for publishing lottery advertise
ments in his paper.
E. SPENCER MILLER, one of Philadel
phia's most prominent lawyers, died sud
denly, in that city, on Wednesday of last
week, aged 62 years.
THE Greenbackers in Michigan are be
ing used as a tail to the Democratic kite ;
these parties have formed a coalition
against the Republicans.
Tra: ion. Elihu Burritt, known as the
"learned blacksmith," died at his resi
dence, in New Britain, Conn., at mid
night, on the night of the 7th inst.
THE Democratic committee of Allegheny
county have formally presented the name
of Daniel 0. Barr as a candidate for State
Treasurer. flow will Wallace swallow this
pill ?
IT is rumored in Washington circles
that John Welsh, Minister to the Court of
St. James, wishes to resign and return to
his Philadelphia home on account of im
paired health. There are plenty who will
be willing to put on his old clothes.
FEARS are entertained that the fleet of
fishing vessels, to the Lumber of fourteen,
which left Gloucester, on the 22d of Feb
rnary for the George's banks, have all
been lost with the entire crews. Severe
gales and storms prevailed about that
time.
Ex SHERIFF ROBERT P. LINTON, of
Johnstown, dropped dead on the streets of
that city, about 11 o'clock on Saturday
forenoon from heart disease, aged about
65 years. He was very popular with his
fellow-citizens, having three times been
elected Sheriff of Cambria county.
ACCORDING to the Altoona Sun, the
Democratic Call, recently started in that
city, has a Democrat and a Republican at
its head. We don't see exactly how these
gentlemen can grind out unadulterated
Democracy if this be so. We predict
trouble in the camp before many moons
wax and wane.
A BLACKGUARD named Petroff, who
disgraces a Philadelphia constituency in
the lower house of the Legislature, made
a brutal attaek, the other day, on Mr.
Jenkins, the gentlemanly correspondent
of the Philadelphia limes, for some fan.
(tied grievance. This man Petroff has a
record which is not at all enviable.
. _
THE Lewistown Sentinel is cross be
cause Zach. Chandler is back in the Uni
ted States Senate, where he will tell the
Democrats some truths they will not like tb
hear. if "Old Zack" don't find any
"British lion tails" he will find the Dem
ocratic tiger, and he has the nerve to stir
the animal up until it howls again.
THE Fulton Democrat gives fair notice
to the Pittsburgh Post that it must call its
dogs off the tracks of Senator Wallace if
it expects one of its owners, Mr. D. 0
Barr, to receive the nomination for Treas
rarer at the hands of the next Democratic
State Convention. That the Post will heed
the demand is not at all probable. The
Post is after the Senator's scalp locks, and
it will raise them if it is in the wood.
S. L. GLASGOW, ESQ.
We still have hope that Mr. Glasgow
may yet succeed in being appointed Dep
uty Attorney General of the State.
That place, it seems, has not yet been
permanently filled by the administration.
Mr. Gilbert, the present incumbent, hav
ing been retained only for the time being.
That Mr. Glasgow is the man wh,,
should fill that position, and fill it at once
from the hands of the appointing power,
we are well satisfied ; and why it has not
been so filled is to us an unsolved problem.
All who know anything about the situa
tion or the circumstances, both far and
near, concede that appointment to Mr.
Glasgow. For more than twenty years be
has fought in the front ranks of Republi
canism, and always has been an uncom
promising opponent of modern democracy.
He deserves the place for the valuable
services he has rendered the party in the
past.
_ .
But Mr. Glasgow's application has been
warmly and cordially endorsed by the Re
publican members of the Huntingdon
bar—such men as Col. William Dorris , S
T. Brown, W. 11. Woods and D. Blair,
with probably nearly twenty others—all
earnestly urging the Governor to make the
appointment. Besides other petitions have
gone into the administration, setting forth
facts in connection with his application.
which we think should have some weight
on the mind of the appointing power
Also quite a number of private letters
from leading Republicans in different
parts of the county have been sent to the
Governor, earnestly urging the practica
bility, and even indicating the necessity of
Glasgow's appointment. Ex-Senator Fish
er, now Congressman of this District, with
other prominent Republicans at a distance,
have made, we understand, personal ap
peals with the Governor on the subject.
In addition, the claims of' the central part
of the State, it seems to us, should not be
overlooked in the distribution of public
patronage. Huntingdon county, we be
lieve, has never been honored with any
important place in the Executive Depart
ment of the State Government. Now from
what we can learn of Gov. lloyt's dispo
sition to do what is right, and of a similar
inclination on the part of the Attorney
general, with all this array of facts before
them, we feel confident that the appoint
went of Mr. Glasgow will yet be made. It
t=eems to us impossible that it should fail
under such oircumstances. We say em
phatically, as we have said before, let it
be made.
The Resignation of Senator Fisher
We find the following procoedings, re
lating to the resignation of Senator Fisher,
in the Legislative Record :
The following communciation was laid
before the Senate.
Editor,
lc was read by the Clerk, as follows
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA,
SENATE CHAMBER,
HARRISBURG, March 3, 1879.
Lieutenant Governor Stone, President of
the Senate
I hereby tender my resignation as State
Senator, representing the Thirty-third dis
trict of the Commonwealth of Pennsylva
nia. Very respectfully,
Whieh was laid on the table
Mr. SM 1T EL In laying the resignation
of Senator FISHER upon the table, is that
the end of it ?
The PRESIDENT pro tempore. That
is the end of it so far as the record is coo
cerned. The resignation is accepted, as a
matter of course, and no objection being
made it goes upon the record.
Mr. SMITH. Then we are to part ?
The PRESIDENT pro tewpore. We
are to part.
Mr.SMITII. Before we part, I desire
to say a word. I cannot let this occasion
pass, parting with an old colleague of
three years' standing, who has borne the
relations that he has to me, and to whom
I am indebted for so many kind acts,
without an expression of the feelings of a
grateful heart. I desire, in parting with
him, to extend my sincere wishes that as
he has taken another step upon the ladder
of fame. the time will come when he shall
ascend still higher, and I hope in the
career that is about to open to him at
Washington that he will be more fortunate,
be better treated than be has been in the
Senate of Pennsylvania.
The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The
Chair can, for the Senate, reflect all the
good wishes, with the exception of the de
sire that he should go higher, as that
might place him out of our cognizance and
jurisdiction entirely.
Mr SMITH. I ;rant him to be an angel,
tf necessary.
Mr. BUTTERFIELD. I ask leave to
make a statement at this time.
Leave was granted, and,
Mr. BUTTEBFIELD. Mr. President,
at last evening's session the resignation of
the Senator from Huntingdon [Mr Fisher]
was sent to the presiding officer of the
Senate, and at that time Senators had no
opportunity to express themselves in refer
ence thereto I sympathize with my
friend, the Senator from the First district
[Mr. SMITH], whose heart is always in the
right place, when he said that he could not
permit the occasion to pass without a word
of commendation of the retiring Senator.
My relations with Mr. Fisher have been
of the closest character ever since his en
trance into the Senate, and I have found
him to be, under all circumstances, a most
reliable gentleman and conscientious officer.
He may have faults which I cannot see,
and may have made mistakes which I have
not observed, but errors—from which none
are entirely free—have been errors of judg
ment and not of intention, and the esteem
in which he is held is evidenced by the
friendship and confidence of all Senators
who have served with him, without regard
to party affiliations. He has demeaned
himself well in the office of Senator, and
has kept up to the line of duty and honor.
His public conduct is a public record, and
one which will bear the closest scrutiny.
It speaks for itself. His last official act ;Ai
a Senator evinces his honesty of purpose
and soundness of judgment. Against the
opinions of learned lawyers and statesmen
at Washington given within a few days, he
decided to avoid all complications and all
semblance of wrong doing, and last night
resigned his position as Senator. We
recognize in him what his constituents saw
last year when they called him to a still
higher position, where he could serve
them in wider fields in the halls of Con
gress. He was entitled to promotion, and
in granting it the people have but empha
sized again the blessed words of the Holy
Book, "Well doue, good and faithful ser
vant."
Mr. ERMENTROUT. Whilst I cannot
say that the verdict pronounced by the
people of the district our colleague is about
to represent in Congress would have been
rendered by me for obvious reasons, yet I
feel it my duty, on behalf of the four re
maining Senators on our side of the cham
ber, who have served with Senator Fisher
during the past three years, to express my
appreciation of his character as a man and
a gentleman, and his character and record
as a Senator. We have been on many
occasions diametrically opposed to each
other on measures before this body. We
have both been earnest in the advocacy of
our different views, but I am bound to say
that I have been repeatedly impressed by
his honorable, manly and even considerate
bearing towards his opponents, and his
temperate demeanor during debates in
which there was considerable excitement
I believe that he has endeavored to be
iaithful in all public relations, and has
cell and faithfully represented his c
siituency. They will be fortunate if they
find a successor who will represent them
with equal zeal and ability. In his private
intercourse with his fellow Senators, he
has attached to himself a greater number
of personal friends than most men do.
These will sincerely rejoice to learn of
success in his new career. That his new
associates will soon learn to respect and
appreciate him cannot be doubted. He
will take with him the best, wishes of t hose
who have served with him on this floor.
Mr. LAWRENCE. The associations i n
this chamber from time to time, of course
enable us to form an estimate of each other.
Some of the kindest recollections that I
have in my past life, are in reference to
men with whom I have served here—some
of them now gone but not forgotten. It
is always a source of gratification to us,
Mr. President, to find that the public at
large, seem to estimate the qualities of
public men justly. Last fall we observed
a most singular coincidence; the parties
nominating their candidates came to this
Senate chamber and took away four of our
men to represent them in high positions in
the State. Our I)emocratic friends nomi
nated a most excellent man for Governor,
from our number, and a very just and up
right man for Lieutenant Governor.
Our party nominated our present Lieu
tenant Governor with great unanimity,
and the gentleman who fills the office of
Internal Affairs from this body. We are
always gratified when we see oar friends
elevated and endorsed by the people. In
my associations with the gentleman who
is about to leave us, I have always found
him courteous, honest and upright. He
is assigned a higher position by his con
stituent•. Knowing his great personal
popularity in that district, he was nomi
nated last fall, and ran against one of the
strong men of the State, said to be a man
of ability, and succeeded in that doubtful
district. It is a tribute not only to his
personal popularity but to his worth as a
man. 'We all part with him with great
reluctance and regret. He is about to
leave us, but we are glad that he goes to a
higher position, and there will associate
with the public men of the nation, and I
trust after he has served his time he will
retire from the halls there as he does from
our halls to-day, with the respect and Lo
will and confidence of every member.
Mr. JONES. 31r, President, I cannot
let this occasion pass without saying a few
words to express my high regard for the

tin;;don [Mr Ftstnat] I have known
him for a nunibt!r of years. and have ever
found han to be an upright man ; always
fair in debate and courteous in demeanor
even when opposing measures in which I
hive been deeply interested. Beiles this
—and I wish to say this as the p feel
ing of my heart—Senator Fisher has al
ways shown himself to be a perfect gentle.
man, never wounding the freliugs of hi:;
fellow Senators. I shall think of him after
he has left this Senate Chamber with a
warm feeling of tender and affectionat ,
regard. As I look upon hint I can truth
fully utter the line of the poet : "An hon
est man is the noblest work of God." May
God's blessing attend you in your future
career ; and although about to separate
here on earth may we meet where fare
wells are never known.
Mr. McNEILL. Mr. President, I have
had the pleasure of a more intimate per
sonal acquaintance, perhaps, with Senator
Fisher than any other Senator on this
floor, and from that acquaintance I have
learned to esteem him as a faithful, pains
taking and courteous Senator, and formed
a warm personal attachment. I shall part
with him and his society with that feeling
which is always produced by the loss of a
dear friend.
The PRESIDENT pro tern. When a
legislator wins for himself a well deserved
reputation for sa.4aeity, wisdom and Lou
esty he has acquired a distinction that,
whilst we will not envy, we certainly can
all attempt to emulate. Such 1 believe to
be the uuexaggerate4 statement of the re
cord of Senator Fisher whilst he has been
acting with us. and I think I aw simply

say he will leave ug With a memory that

more valuable than fine gold
ON Saturday last lion. John J. Patter
son, late United States Senator from South
Carolina, received a letter from the Attor
ney General of that State granting him
full pardon from any indiettL:mts pending
against hin from that CoMmonwealth.
Mr. Patterson was in Washington when
he received this intelligence, and rumor
has it that he will return to South Caro
lina at onc,t t, accept an important trust
under the Southern Pacific railroad com-
pany .
UP in Blair county there are fourteen
fellows who are anxious to serve the peo
ple in the capacity of Sheriff of that coun
ty. If the Republicans of our daughter
want to do the fair thing they will nomi
nate and elect Brother Over, of the Reg
ister. He has fairly earned the office, and
should have it by merely asking for it.
Those who ch the hard work for the party
should be rewarded. Hurrah for Over !
Letter from the Buckeye State
NATIONAL MILITARY HOME,
DAYTON, 0., March 7, 1879.
EDITOR HUNTINGDON JOURNAL :—As
some of your readers may feel interested
in this Home and its inmates, I will send
you a few items. During the year that is
past there was considerable improvement
made in the Home The grounds were
beautified in different ways, new walks
and avenues being laid out, and shrubbery
of different kinds planted ; the gardens
tastefully arranged and many new and
rare plants and flowers added to the splend
id collection that they already have in the
Home conservatory. They have also built
two splendid new brick buildings for "Bar
racks," a new house for superintendent of
the farm, and have completed the "Me
morial Hall," which was begun in 1877.
The "Putnam Library" has received many
and rare additions by our generous bene
factress and friend, Mrs Mary Lowell
Putnum, by whom the Library was first
presented to the Home.
We have had a most severe winter and
there has been considerable sickness and
many of the veterans have answered their
last "roll call" and have gone to join their
comrades on the "other shore." There are
now on the rolls of the Home, present and
absent, some 4,000 men or this number
there are at nearly all times from five hun
dred to seven hundred absent on furlough,
in fact men are going and coming all the
time.
We learn from a private letter from the
vicinity of Huntingdon to a friend of the
writer in this Home, that a former inmate
of this institution, who is now in Hun
tingdon, gives the Home a very bad name,
and speaks of it in a manner calculated
to lead people astray in their ideas regard
ing the place. Now I desire to say that
the wan who accepts the benefits of this
Home, and who receives the treatment
that every man will receive who will con
duct himself properly, and then goes out
from the Home and circulates slanderous
and damaging reports of the place and its
officers, is guilty of base ingratitude, and
is not worthy of credit. Perhaps living
in a hovel, with companions of his own
kind, subsisting on corn juice principally,
suits him better than the life lure; but
'tis all in the way a man has been raised,
and we hope that people may make due
allowanee far his stories. The home is
well governed, and all is done to make
the place pleasant and comfortable for the
inmates that can be done, and it is one of
the finest institutions of the kind in the
world. A man need not stay here unless it
suits him, but when he goes away he
should either tell the truth or say nothing.
We see Huntingdon papers among those
on the Reading Room tables, and several
copies come to individuals. Adieu,

WORKINGMEN.—Bofore you begin your
heavy spring work after a winter of relaxation,
your system needs cleansing and strengthen
ing to prevent an attack of Ague, Bilious or
Spring Fever, or some other Spring sickness
that will unfit you for a season's work. You
will save time, much sickness and great
expense if you will use one bottle of Hop
Bitters in your family this month. Don't
wait. See another column. rmch.7-2t.
A DEVOURING DRAGON.—Thousands
of people are destroyed by the devouring
dragon, who conquers tLe world with diseases
of the kidneys and bladdet, or liver, acute
rheumatism, caused by poisonf.ms secretions,
and the first-nameed disorders are radically
cured by Kidney-Wort. For sale by Druggistd.
Suffering for a Life Time
l'ersons afflicted with rheumatism often
suffer for a life time, their tortures being
almost without remission. The joints and
muscles of such unfortunateq are in most cases
shockingly contorted and drawn out of shape.
To afford them even temporary relief, the
ordinary remedies often prove utterly useless.
llostetter's Stomach Bitters, on the other
hand, is vouched by persons who have used
it, to be a genuine source of relief. 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 complaint 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
sicians as a desirable medicinal stimulant and
tunic. rnich.7-Im.

The property of this Company consists of twelve mines
and mining locations, located in Lake county, Colorado,
in the vicinity of Leadville, upon all of which extensive
work has been done, in all cases exhibiting true fissure
veins, good pry streak, and well defined lodes.
Three of the leading mines are well opened np and
have at the lowest computation over TEN THOUSAND
TONS OF ORE IN SIGHT ; by May let, the Railroad now
under construction will be within a short distance of this
property.
The Company proposes to sell a portion of its stock at
$1 ho per share, for the purpose of more completely devel

treatment of its ores.
Application for the stock may be made to the ate of
