The Huntingdon Journal J. A. NASH, HUNTINGDON, PENN'A FRIDAY, Circulation LARGER than any other Paper in the Juniata Valley. JACOB WEYAND, editor of the Beaver Times, has been appointed by the Gover nor and confirmed by the Senate manager of the Morganza Reform School. REV. TALMAGE, who has been on trial, before an ecclesiastical court, fur a fort night past, on several charges, has come out with colors flying, having been ad judged not guilty by a vote of 24 to 16. AT the meeting of the Democratic State Central Committee, in Harrisburg, last week, it was decided, after considerable discussion, to hold the next State Conven tion of that party at Harrisburg, on the 16th day of July. WE ARE indebted to L. R. Boggs, esq., Deputy Insurance Commissioner, for the Sixth Annual Report of the Fire and Ma rine Insurance Department of Penna. It is a work containing much statistical in• formation relating to these matters. AN individual named Gilland, who by chance occupies a scat in the Legislature from Blair county, terms the new peni tentiary "the Huntingdon fraud." It ain't the only fraud in the House when this "dog in the manger" member is in his seat. THE office of the Detroit Post awl Tri bune wa,i badly damaged by fire on Sun day morning, but there will be no suspen sion of the paper in consequence. The fire originated in the press-room and was the result of spontaneous combustion of oiled rags used about the press. IN accordance with the resolution pass ed by the Senate, providing for the ap pointment of a committee to receive Gen. Grant, the Speaker announced Messrs. Grady, Gazzam, Smith, Cooper, Roberts, Lemon, Butterfield, Wright, McNeil and Royer as members of said committee. COFFEEPOT WALLACE says he shall proceed to Pennsylvania and begin a thorough investigation of election frauds just as soon as the crisis at Washington is passed. If Mr. Wallace is honest he will tell his committee how he used the coffee colored naturalization papers in Cen tre county in 1868; but he ain't honest, and he will say nothing about that great fraud. A ,PAIR of bruisers named Dwyer and Elliott pounded each other into pulp, one day last week, on Canadian soil, to see which was the stronger brute of the two, and for a purse of $2,000. The fight lasted twelve tiinutes and forty seconds, during which time eight rounds were fought. It is said to have been the hardest fought battle ever known in the prize ring. ED. JAMES, ESQ , who has conducted the Cambria Herald for the past decade of years, last week publishes his valedic tory and steps down and ont, and in the future the paper will be under the control of Mr. Fes. Lloyd. Close confinement was telling on the health of Mr. James, and in order that he might have time to enjoy out door exercise he threw down the pencil. We wish both gentlemen success. A DISPATCH from Cape May states that on Saturday night the Executive Com mittee of the Editorial Association of New Ylork, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, with a few invited guests, held a meeting at the Chalfonte House, in that place, to make arrangements for an excursion. The result of the meeting was the selection of the Stockton House, Cape May, as the objective point, and the last week in June as the time for the excursion. TEtE writer of the brief biographies of members of the Legislature, which appear in the Patriot from time to time, should inform himself correctly before he under takes to dish up the records of these So lone. In the biography of lion. M. P. Doyle, which appeared in that paper of the Sth inst., the writer credits that gen tleman with having introduced the bill for the building of the penitentiary at this place. The bill was drawn up and intro duced by Senator Fisher, and championed in the House by Messrs. Port and Dewees. This biographer should study legislative history more closely. _ THE President has vetoed the Confed erate Caucus bill, and veto No. 2 bas caus ed considerable consternation in the Dem ocratic camp. The attempt of the major ity in Congress to shape laws so that they would not be interfered with in their in tentions to carry elections by fraud has been nipped in the bud by this veto. The people will sustain the President. We might find room for a synopsis of the mes sage this week, but have concluded to wait until next week when we will pub lish it in full. GEO. W. CEULDS, the "obituary poet" of the Philadelphia Ledger, has been in terviewed in relation to the candidacy of Gen. Grant for the Presidency. He says that General Grant has no aspirations for the Presidency, but on the contrary is de cidedly averse to his name being used in connection with a nomination, and if he consents to accept it will be because the Republican party demands it. This is exactly what the Republican party will do, and it will elect him by a larger ma jority than it did at either of the other two elections. Cox, the man who killed Col. Altson, in Atlanta, Georgia, a couple of months ag,S, has been convicted, and upon the re commendation of the jury, sentenced to the penitentiary for life. By a recently en acted law in Georgia juries have the choice of choosing between imprisonment for life and hanging in cases of convictions for murder. The murdered Altson was not only a member of the Legislature when this act was passed, but we believe he drew up the bill and was instrumental in having it become a law. It is a bad law for a State that contains as many cold blooded murderers as Georgia does. THE MIDDLE PENITENTIARY. A True Statement of the Case Editor. The Board of Public Charities of this k.;oinutonwealth having repeatedly urged the necessity of erecting an additional Penitentiary, and their recommendation being endorsed by the Governor, a bill was introduced into the Senate last year, authorizing the building of a Middle Pen itentiary, appropriating $lOO,OOO for paid purpose, and empowering the Gover nor to appoint a Commissi Tin of seven, to secure a kite and carry into effect the pro visions of the bill. This bill passed the Senate and House, receiving the support of both parties indiscriminately, and was signed by the Governor. Acting under it, the Commission, appointed by Gov. Hartranft, began a tour of inspection through the district embraced in the bill, ' visiting and carefully considering the fitness of each ]cation nominated to them, and after mature deliberation the Com mission selected Huntingdon as the best site for the Middle Penitentiary. nuntingdon was selected : Ist, Because it is the centre of the district ; not exactly the geographical centre, but the centre of the criminal popuntion. 2d. No public institution is lccated in the Juniata Valley, and it was thought just, all things being equal, to consider this fact in locating this institution. 3d. The location selected was the rery Lest offered to the Commission. It em braces 33 acres; is located 27 feet above the river; commands a fine view of the Juniata river and the Pennsylvania Rail road, and looks out upon a grand expanse of valleys and mountains, and above all, is supplied with a never-failing spring of pure water, which will furnish 7,200 gallons per hour at no expense. The location is prover bial for healthfulness. 4th. Stone, brick, sand, lime, and all materials entering into the construction of the building, can be obtained at this point at least 35 per cent. cheaper than at any other, thus saving the State a large ex penditure of money. As a proof of this, the Commission advertised for proposals to build areservoir holding 95,000 gallons and for laying 3,300 feet of iron pipe from the springs to the site of the building, and the contract was taken for the low price of $5,165. These were the reasons that led the Commission to select Huntingdon as the site for the Middle Penitentiary. These reasons remain in force, and the following additional reasons require that the Legis lature should grant the appropriation of $200,000 asked for. Ist. The Commonwealth has authorized the building of the Penitentiary, and pur- chased and paid for a portion of the site. 2d. The Commonwealth has already en• tered into a contract for a portion of the work. 3d. The citizens of Huntingdon, having full confidence in the purpose of the pub lic authorities to build said penitentiary in their midst, raised $lO,OOO and purchased a portion of the site for the building and presented it to the Commonwealth. Some Democrats oppose the appropria tion because they say it is a scheme to reelect a Republican Congressman. Let the Democrats in the House and Senate vote fur it, and it will lose its influence as an electioneering scheme. Those who are opposing this appropria tion because the penitentiary was not loca ted in their midst, should be magnanimous enough to "do unto others as they would that others should do unto them." We appeal to the members of the Legis lature, irrespective of party, to vote for this appropriation. In no view is it a local or political measure ; it is distinct ively and preeminently a measure of pub lic good. The Eastern and Western Pen itentiaries are so over-crowded that solitary confinement is no longer practicable. A new Penitentiary is au absolute necessity to day, and with our increasing population, it becomes more so yearly. Even if it were possible to get along without it fbr a while, it would be wise economy to antici pate the demand of the future, and build it at this time, owing to the large number of the laboring men of our State to whom it would furnish employment, and the cheapness of materials and work. We have confidence in the honor and integrity of the members of the House and Senate. We feel assured, when they be come acquainted with the facts which we have dispassionately set forth in this arti. cle, that they will be just and manly enough to cast their votes for the appro priation asked for. We demand justice—nothing else. THE Democrats in the United States Senate have again opened up the Kellogg- Spofford Louisiana trouble, with the evi dent determination to oust Senator Kel logg. This contest was disposed of at the last session, by the seating of Senator Kel logg, and had that body remained under Republican control the case never would have been beard of again, but unfortu nately for the country rebels and Demo crats now have a majority of the Senate, and to further increase that majority they are determined to seat Spofford, who has no more claim than the man in the moon. All the indications now are that in 1881 enough Democratic Senators will be re placed by Republicans to make the Senate a tie. The Democrats see this, and hope, by displacing Mr. Kellogg, to retain a majority of one in 1581. If one such change should not suffice they will not hesitate to repeat the outrage in other cases EVERY candidate on the Democratic ticket in Kentucky is an ex Confederate, and a Bourbon editor in Louisville heads a report of the convention with these ex ultant words : " 'Oa to Richmond'—that seemed to be the motto of the convention— a solid phalanx of ex-confederates nomi nated to fill State offices." Sketches are given by the same editor of the different candidates, and of one of them lie says : "On one occasion when he was accused of being an ex-Federal soldier, he immedi ately denounced the rumor as malicious and false." That "Okolona idiot" seems to have pleanty of sympathetic brethren in all parts of the South —N. Y Tribune. POINDEXTER, of Richmond, Va , who killed young Curt4a, for admiring the neat lbot of a lady, lass been convicted and sentenced to two years imprisonment. LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. In the House, on Monday last, the order of business was the consideration of appro priation bills on s•:cond :tie! as our people are deeply interested is the ap propriation of funds for the erection of the Middle Penitentiary, we copy the ro ceedinLYs in full relating to this hill, as follows : When the act waking an apprepria:l , ii 01 $600,0 10 to the middle penitential.) at Huntingdon came up fta. consideration it was moved to amend by reducing the amount to $200,000, to be paid in the years 1879, 1880 and 1881. Mr. Hewit moved to amend by provi ding that the $200,000 should be paid in two years instead of three : $lOO,OOO in 1879 and $lOO.OOO in 18S0. Mr. Provins moved to indefinitely post pone the whole matter. Mr. Doyle opposed the motion in a few remarks. He thought the penitentiary was a needed improvement, and that the legislature should make the necessary ap propriations for its completion. Mr. Colburn hoped the bill would be indefinitely postponed. Ile said that his people could go to Pittsburg in three hours, while it took from morning until night to get to Huntingdon. If there was a neces sity for a new penitentiaiy then it should have been erected at llarrisburg—a more convenient and more suitable place. He did not think the erection of a new poi tentiary was a necessity. Mr. Colburn and Mr. Provins favored indefinite postponement. Mr. Ilewit thought the State could ill afford to stop the work now. That the building of the penitentiary was a public necessity was made apparent by the over crowded condition of the eastern and west ern penitentiaries. The State should find revenues enough to meet the wants of the people. The appropriation has been re duced fro,n $600,000 to $200,000 and there was no further reason for opposition. Mr. Rhoades could not find sufficient force in the gentleman's arguments to in duce the House to grant the appropriation. Mr. Welsh thought that the State would need increased facilities for the imprison. ment of victims since the passage of the tramp law. Mr Davis, of Philadelphia, thought the bill was a meritorious one and should be passed. Mr. Wolfe said a former legislature, the board of public charities and the officers of the Philadelphia penitentiary had all decided that another penitentiary was needed. The time was fast approaching when the east and west would need peni tentiaries for the exclusive use of their various sections, and, as a matter of course, the middle portion of the State would then need a similar institution for their use. Iu view of these facts and the fact that money had already been appropriated to this institution, he hoped the House would make the necessary appropriation for its completion. Mr. Nakle also favored the appropriation of this money. The motion to indefinitely postpone was then defeated by 91 nays and 50 yeas. The amendments were then agreed to and the bill as amended passed second reading by a vote of Si yeas and 54 nays. We understand that the bill will come up on its final passage on Tuesday next, and it behooves our people to be up and doing. There is a disposition on the part of numerous members to not only refuse an appropriation, but to disband the com mission and repeal the bill authorizing the erection of the prison. We don't have any idea that there are a sufficient num ber of these "dog in the manger" mem bers to accomplish this end, but the friends of the measure should labor to bring to its support such a force as to preclude the possibility of its defeat. There seems to be too much apathy displayed on the part of the citizens of this town in this matter. While a few are working the majority seem to have made up their minds to let the bill run its chances of success cr de feat. This is altogether wrong. Every citizen of this town has an interest in the matter, and instead of idly waiting to see how it will result, they should be actively at work for its success. We heartily endorse the suggestion of a warm friend of the measure, that a cow mittee of a hundred or more go to llar risburg on Monday next in the interest of the penitentiary A demonstration of this kind cannot fail of good results, and we second the motion that the proposition of our friend be carried out. THE elections held in Indiana last week give general satisfaction to the Republi cans and cold comfort to the Democrats. With the exception of one or two cities where local issues affected the result, the Indianapolis Journal says the Republican victory is complete. This is gratifying in telligence and goes to prove that the voters of that State are awake to the necessity of administering a reprimand to their ser vants at Washington who have the pre sumption to act as though they are the masters of the people. If this Confederate Congress can manage to keep in session for a few months longer, there won't be a corporal's guard left of the Democratic party by the time the fall elections come around. These rebel brigadiers have done more to insure the success of the Repub lican party than it was possible for that organization to do for itself', and the long er they remain in session the greater will be the success of Republicanism in the coming elections. THE Southern Intelligener, published at Richmond, Va., announces the great "flapper," Senator David Davis, as the presidential candidate of the great combi nation to be formed against Grant in 1580." It won't do, gentlemen, you have gotten up combinations against Grant before, and how easily he overcame those combina tions, we refer you to Appomattox. The same men and the sant° party are about to try it again, but the effort will be no more successful than the former one. There is no use trying to defeat Grant; he will be nominated and elected as sure as fate. INVESTIGATION seems to be the order of the day,.or rather of the night, just now in Harrisburg. First it was the investi gation to hunt up the frauds in stationery contracts, and now it is the riot bill in vestigation, but so far no damaging evi dence has come to the surface. Evidently some of the members wanted to be bribed to vote for the riot bill, but the committee has failed as yet to get hold of any mem ber who acknowledges the receipt of any money. Several members have been placed in suspicious positions, but they explain it by saying that it was "only a joke"— and perhaps it was. Our Wa: - hington Letter. WASIIINGTON, D. C., May 10, 1879 Tht.'

The Repabli cans are c(mfident that the Pr..sidcnt will vet) this ill as emphatically as he did the other. The hot haste with which the Democrats forced their new bill through the House seems to belie their confidence in its acceptability to the President., liur it argues that they are afraid of discussion. They cannot escape it in the Senate so easily, fur the gag rule is unknown there, and cannot be adopted without rather more of rebel usurpation than the party dares to assume But the Confederate Brigadiers do not hesitate at small things, and besides threatening to starve the Government to death if it does not come to their lawi, they threaten to steal a seat in the Senate to secure them against the impending re verse in 1881. They have re-opened the case of Senator Kellogg, of Louisiana, and there is a wide apprehension that they will unseat him, thus leaving only one Repub lican Senator in the whole South. If they do not get his seat, the elections in 1880 will pretty certainly give the Re publicans the majority again, and as the Democratic House has exhibited its capa city for stealing seats, it is presumed that the Senatorial Brigadiers will not hesitate at the same crime. Mr. Burrows, of Michiu.an, and others "roasted" Confederate Fort Pillow Chalet era the other day. Chalmers wanted to be vindicated from the assaults made upon him for his part in the notorious Fort Pil low massacre during the war. He made various denials, and plainly asserted that the Union men who testified against him in that affair were untruthful. Mr Bur rows thereupon read extracts from the re ports of the affair made by Forrest and Chalmers themselves, both of whom corn mended the valor of the ribs! butchers. and had no word of reprimand. In fact, Mr. Burrows didn't leave much of a repu tation for Mr. Chalmers to boast upon. The Republican Congressional Campaign committee will go to work shortly to help in the campaigns of the year. The very important elections in Maine, California, Massachusetts, New York and Ohio will particularly have their attention. Their work will be in excellent hands, Hon. Wm. E. Chandler, of New Hampshire, having been chosen secretary of the committee. lie is the best campaign director in the party, and many are hoping that the New Hampshire Legislature will scud him to the U. S. Senate at its session in June. He has a wide circle of friends, not only in the party, but among business men. The Ohio campaign is having great at. tention in Washington, from the fact that there are s) many Ohio Presidential candi dates looming up here and thero. The absence of Secretary Sherman has lent now impetus to the flood of gossip, and it is confidently believed by a large majority of people that he is home working up a Presidential movement for himself. The Democrats are on nettles about it., for their own internal quarrels are hard to heal, and they seize every pretence like this so called Sherman movement to excite their own followers to unite more cordially. So far as I can .judge the sentiment of Re publicans here is that Judge Taft will be the Republican candidate for Governor. thus leaving the Democratic quarrels and the Presidential campaigns to take care of themselves in regular order We can carry Ohio this year, that is the Wash ington prediction. Ex Secretary Boric says that Gen. Grant will not again run for President, that he and his best friends are a g ainst it. Ile has had all the honors he wants, and could gain nothing by going into politics again. Mr. Boric is one of Gen. Grant's most in timate and trusted friends, and has gone to join his party in their tour around the world. DEWITT.

This sluggish ness may be overcome by stimulating them, not excessively, but moderately, an effect produced by llostetter's Stomach Bitters, a general invigorant and alterative, possessing diuretic properties of no common order. The impetus which this admirable medicine gives to their evacuative function counteracts any tendency to congestion which may exist in their tissues. Both they and their associate organ, the bladder, are invigorated as well as gently stimulated by the Bitters, which exerts a kindred influence upon the stomach, liver and bowels, and by strengthening the system, enables it to withstand malarial epidemics, to which when exposed it might otherwise succumb.
