COUDERSPORT. Pa.. J<*n. li. 1874.
BEAR in mind that cn Tuesday,
February 17, your home government
lor 187 1 is to be elected; that the of
fices of Supervisor and for School
Director are of great importance. If
the roads and the schools in efcch
Township of this County shall lie
thoroughly attended to for the next:
five years, it will then lie the banner
county in the ."state. Look well to
the township elections.
Organization of the Legislature. :
lioth Houses organized on the 6th i
inf-t. by t he election of the following
Officers: In the Senate, Mr. Strang,
of Tioga, for Speaker; Kussell Lrrctt,
of Allegheny, for Chief Clerk; Thorn-:
as Cochran, of Lancaster, and I'. 11. j
McAtFee, of Westmoreland, for As
bistant-Clerks.
Mr. Itogers, of McKean, one of the
most efficient clerks the Senate ever
had, was slaughtered, for some reason
not known to the public.
In the House, the following men
were chosen: Speaker, 11. 11. MeCor-;
miek, of Allegheny; Chief Clerk. W.
C. Shurlock, of Beaver; Resident;
Cierk, John A. Sum!!, of Dauphin:
Assistant Clerk, Hugh A. Morrison,
of Butler.
Geii. J. L. SELFRIUGE, the genial J
and popular Clerk of the llousc for;
.-i\ years, i-- sujx rsoiled by Dr. Slinr
bx-k, of Beaver. Perhaps -ix years;
is long enough to continue any one
as Clerk of the House, and if a better
or even as good a man hail been se-j
lee ted, we should feel entirely satis- j
lied with the change. But to substi-j
tu'e Br. Shurlock for General Sel-;
fridge i- incomprehensible to out-j

GOV ERNOR II VRTRA.VFT has issued i
his proclamation announcing Ihoj
adoption of the New Constitution.!
We arc glad that he adhered strictly
to the provisions <>;' the Act of As-;
i • ;
sembly regulating this matter. We |
never couid sec what tin* Convention
had to do wii.h <he election or the;
Gowrnor and cordially approve his!
notion throughout.
THE I 'resident has withdrawn the J
appointment of Attorney General j
Williams as Chief Justice because of;
(lie opposition of some Senators to;
his confirmation, and has sent thej
name of CALEB GUSHING to be Chief:
Justice of the Supreme < 'ourt. This
nppoiiitntewt ' !>!.> t * meet witft even
more opposition than the former and
it is probable the Senate would now
be glad to confirm Judge Williams,
as we think it ought to have done;
for iie was among the ablest and best
men in the Senate and has discharged
the duties of Attorney-General to il.c
satisfaction ot the people.
The Governor's Message.
The first annual message of Gov
ernor HARTRANFT was promptly de
livered to the Legislature immediate
ly after its organization on the sixth
iiistant. It is a document that re
flects credit on the head of our state
government and will be read with
satisfaction by all who have an inte
rest in our good old Commonwealth.
Wo did not receive it in time to pub
-1 -di it in full in this number of the
JOIRNAL and will therefore select
from it the most important statements
and suggestions.
The State debt was reduced during
the year 1873 by the very handsome
sum of $1,504,672 70. The total debt
of the State, on the Ist of December
last, was $25,798,821 94. Debt, less
bonds of the Pectin, ami A. V. 11. R.
Co. and cash, $15,773,670 70.
The following extract is too im
portant to be abridged. We are
afraid the tast Legislature cut down
the receipts too largely, hut if the
present and future Legislatures will
carry out the suggestions of the Gov
ernor, we have no doubt our reve
nues w ill prove sufficient:
In 1 *74 t he receipts from all sources
wiil IHI 81,500,000 less than the re
ceipts of 1 while the expenditures
will not be diminished. This loss of
revenue is largely due to the repeal
of taxes bearing heavily upon the in
> islriiil interests of the Common
wealth and partly to the prostration
of business. The receipts in 1875
im\ be a* out the same as those of
1 574, but the expenditures will fie
greater, owing to the additional out
lay necessary for schools, Legisla
ture and Judiciary, under the New
Constitution, which v?i?1 then be in
L. i ib c N otw ith'itam l Lug this
enormous decrease in the receipts,
and increase in the expenditures, it
ts hoped and believed that by the
most rigid economy in every branch
of the government and moderate ap
propriations the revenues in the fu
ture will 1* sufficient to nn-et all the
demands on the Treasury and leave
a balance to reduce the indebtedness
of the State, as required by the Con
stitution. lam in accord with those
who believe as the debt decreases
there should be a corresponding re
lief afforded to those interests that
hear the burden of taxation; but at
this juncture I would regard any fur
ther reduction of the revenues as un
wise. In our list of taxes, however,
may be found some i hat are not strict
lv "uniform upon the same class of
subjects," and very unfair in their
operation and 1 think, therefore, a re
vision of Our taX laws is now desir
able if not necessary.
And here are some suggestions
that every citizen should read and
take to heart. The ideas may not he
new but they need to lx> repeated and
impressed upon all the people, for in
ditfcrence* to the results of elections
is a growing e\ ii and is a disgrace to
republican government:
The New Constitution having been
approved by a very decided majority
of the people, it is expected that all
citizens will yield cheerful obedience
to its behests and unite to strictly
and faithfully enforce its provisions.
As each day's experience reveals
the methods of administration, the
conviction grows stronger in my
inind that good government depends
! not so much upon written laws
upon the disposition of the people to
j comply n ilh tlie demands of the laws
and the determination of those dele- j
: gated to execute them to sec that j
i their mandates arc enforced. Reform.
it will be conceded, cannot be obtain-;
| ed by mere constitutional enactment :
| nor by surrounding offices and trusts
j with additional restraints.
The world's history from the earli
; est ages lias shown that no code of.
laws, however comprehensive or re-'
! strietive, will evade man's ingenuity
jif bent upon overstepping their:
; bounds, and wise and necessary as;
! tlie provisions of the New (.'onstitu-j
lion may be they will never secure!
1 tlie ends designed unless sustained !
; by a strong, active, healthful and in-j
I telligent sentiment that will interest
I itself in public affairs. It will not
| suffice to enact that integrity and fit
i ness arc essential qualifications for
office, unless the people see to it that
! none without these qualifications art
i seleetvd. It is the indifference and
! inattention of electors to their pri
; inarv political duties, connected with
nominations and elect iorSs; that de
i -•[< > 1 the law of its sam-tify and af
i fi i d security to those who v iifully
<li- I x*y its requirements. Men do
a./ fulfil the obligations of eitiz-enship
i.e merely enjoying the protection
! our institutions afford. To perform
I his whole duty to the State every cit
izen should actively engage in politi
i <*al Concerns when the recurring elec
: lions invoke his attention and iuter
! ference. In our system of govern
\ ment every man entitled to vote is
; invested with a grave public trust,
! and if, through indifference or neg
: lect, lie fails to discharge the sacred
duties it imposes, he is almost as cul
j pable as the other who deliberately
i violates the law. With this new dt
' parture in our organic law, let there
! also be an accompanying resolution
! on the part ot all good citizens that
! they will attend diligently and con
scientiously to the selection of men
| for office whose dignity of character
and intellect will lie an adequate guar
anty that the New Constitution will
j be safe in their keeping.
I SCHOOLS. —The interesting report
! of the Superintendent of Common
Schools will command your thought
ful attention, because of tlie impor
tant subject of which it treats and
the many valuable suggestions it eon
tains. Pennsylvania, it will be ol>-
served, is making decided progress
* in the cause of education, increasing
the number of schools, enlarging eaeli
I year the sphere of instruction, ex
i tending the time within which school
ing may be obtained and supplying
more of the conveniences necessary
for the comfort and health of schol
ars and teachers. For years, in this
i State, doubts of the practicability of
a system of public schools beset and
crippled tlie cause of education, but
judicious and careful management has
1 happily dissipated all this mistrust
and our people are now united in tlie
conviction of the utility and wisdom
of free and universal instruction.
Those concerned in the administra
tion of public affairs are expected to
devote to the vital problems of edu
cation the time and consideration
they deserve and I have no doubt
that the present Legislature will look
into and provide remedies for many
of tlie deficiencies that still exist in
our present school system. Promi
nent among the defects is the lack of
proper training and other qualifica
tions of the teachers of the schools.
"Of the lo.OOJ teachers receiving cer
j lificates to teach during the year, on
j ly .'>74 were found to have a 'thorough
knowledge of reading, writing, firith
' luetic, geography and grammar, and
that practical preparation which en
j sures success," is the startling decla
ration made by the Superintendent
lof Common Schools. There must
certainly be a radical change in this
regard, if we would have our children
attain even the rudiments of an ordi
nary education. The necessity of es
tablishing Normal schools wherein
j students are specially trained for
teaching is conspicuously shown in
these statistics, and it is a gratifica
tion to know that twelve of these se
. ful iustituli JLLS have beeu erected or
are in process of erection in various
parts df the State and when all are
furnished with an able corps of in
structors, we can confidently hope the
graduates therefrom will largely con
tribute to supply this pressing need
of good and competent teachers. To
afford some inducement, however, to
teachers to prepare themselves for
the duties of their profession and
j some assurance of t™ public appre
ciation of the difficult, responsible
and delicate work they perform, I am
satisfied they should receive increased
1 compensation.
Dissatisfaction exists also and com
plaint is made about the frequent
changes in school books, entailing ex
pense upon parents and subjecting
pupils to novel and perplexing meth
ods of acquiring lessons that mystify
more than they instruct.
There seems to be an urgent de
mand for more training of a techni
cal kind, that will fit children for
mechanical pursuits and the practi
cal duties of life. I suggest, there
fore, that school boards be author
ized to make provision lor giving in
struction in industrial and mechani
cal drawing, both in day and evening
schools; also that schools be estab
lished Vl lO rein trades may be taught,
or arrangements made for such in
struction in connection with schools
already established, so that skilled
mechanics can be graduated and the
princeple inculcated that there i>
nothing ungraceful or undignified in
honest and hard lahoi, and that the
handiwork of the skillful artisan w ill
confer in the future as noble a title
as any to be achieved in profession
al callings.
.More thorough examination of the
subject strengthens me in the con
viction that the State must adopt
some mode to compel the attendance
of those children whose parents are
unwilling or unable to allow their
offspring to avail themselves of the
benefits our school system affords.
The solution of this important ques
tion presents grave difficulties, but 1
expect to see them all surmounted.
Some plan must be devised to snatch
these children from the career of
idleness and crime to which ignor
ance will consign tlieni. By far the
greater portion of the inmates of our
penetontiaries never attended schools
or had the advantages of education.
Is modern civilization unequal to tin
task of rescuing the children of the
indigent and tile criminal trom such
a fate '/
CONCLUSION. —'The United States
have just cause for congratulation in
the peaceful solution of our difficul
ties with Spain without reoourse to
arms. War is always to in' depre
cated, it is to be hoped that in ihe
future, as ill the present, the true
test of wisdom and good administra
tion will be the honorable adjust
ment of all diiferen—between na
tions, without Hinging the stvord in
to the scale.
Our people are awaiting with pain
ful uncertainty the conclusions to be
reached by Congress to meet the fi
nancial and business requirements of
the country. The questions involved
are of grave import, demanding
broad and comprehensive views ol
public policy, and the action ol'Con
gress will have much to do with wid
ening os dispelling the feeling of dis
trust that now holds so many of our
vast industries in ils thrall and para
lyzes trade and commerce. Despite
the temporary prostration of busi
ness and enterprise we have, however
eminent occasion for thankfulness to
the Supreme Being, whose gracious
care and beneficence are manifest in
every stage of our progress as a na
tion. War and its attendant evils
have been averted, we have the full
measure of the earth's bounty in
abundant crops, increased familiarity
with our resources is revealing new
fields for development, the ties of
reconciliation and union are being
more closely cemented, the spirit at
reform is chastening our politics and
invading every avenue of govern
ment, respect abroad and confidence
at home are giving strength and sta
bility to our institutions, while the
future seems fraught with opportuni
ties of usefulness and glory lbr our
Republic. To have a share in shap
ing the destinies of such a nation is
surely no inconsiderable honor, and
we who are charged with the control
of one of the members of this grand
confederacy should apply ourselves
to our several employments With a
becoming sense of the dignity and
magnitude of the trust, and a firm
reliance on Him who directs all our
ends. JOHN F. HARTRANFT.
HARBISECRG, PA.. Jany. T, 1574.
LIGHT on the salary question
comes from an unexpected quarter.
Senator Wright, of the Committee
on Civil Service and Retrenchment,
has reported back the House bill in
relation to the compensation of Sen
ators, Representatives and Delegates,
with an amendment, and recommend
ed its passage. The bill, as reported
from the Senate Committee, provides
that the act of March 3, 1873, shall
lie repealed so far as it provides for
the increase of compensation of mem
bers of Congress and the Several of
ficers and employes of either house
of Congress, or both, and that the
salaries and compensation of all such
persons shall he as fixed by the laws
in force at the time of the passage of
said act. It also provides that the
heads of departments shall each re
ceive $8(00 per annum, and that all
sums that may remain undrawn, or
which have been received a- increased
compensation under the provisions
of said act, approved March 3, 1873,
and which shall have or may conic
into the possession of the Secretary
cd" the Treasury by the return there
of, s**ll be paid into the Treasury.
Thi bfU 1 covers the whole question,
and we are glad to see that the Sen-,
ate Comthittee* lihafiimouslv recom
mended its passage. The holiday re
cess will give Senators an opportuni
ty to ascertain how the popular pulse
beats, and there should be no delay
on the reassembling of Congress in
the consideration ami enactment of
su ha law. The salary grablx i -
have been consoling themselves with
the hope that while a repealing meas
ure might pass the House, the staid
Senators would uphold the dignity
of Congressional position by keeping
the compensation up to its present
high standard. We think they will
be disappointed. If the law should
pass the Senate as amended by its
committee and come to the House
for final action the members of that
body will not dare to oppose it.
There may be some bloviating and
filibustering, but the yeas and nays
will be all right. The man who votes
wrong or dodges the vote may us
well retire voluntarily to the shades
of private life.—J/iVsoi/ ri Democrat.
''WHEN a man bleeds inwardly it
is a dangerous thing for himself; but
when he laughs inwardly it bodes no
good to other people.'
THE Castcllar administration lias
been overthrown, and republican
government in Spain is not as yet a
success, although it bus done better
than any* of its predecessors; and we
hope it will, ere long, be firmly es
tablished in Spain and France.

The PDnneylvania Railroads.
Pnn.Atfßl.Plll A, JAN. C The gen
eral freight officers, connected with
the principal railroads of Pennsyl
vania, New York and New Jersey,
met in convention in Betliiebem,
Penn., to-day, and Mr. Ellis ( lark.
General Freight Agent of the Nonli
Pennsylvania Railroad, was chosen
President, and J. 1,. Hi 11, of the Phil
adelphia and Heading Railroad, Vice
President. Although the meeting
was held with closed doors, and the
tnenibcrs present were extremely
j reticent, it is understood the revision
of freight rates and the ela silication
of trade were the subject-; of discus
sion The bearing of the new Con
stitution upon the Pennsylvania in
i terests has been generally canvassed,
faint the general opinion is that it will
j not materially a fleet the existing sy>
; teni. It is known that the matters
i of classifying the freight transported
in tlie several companies and dcter
i mining the action upon a new seiied
' ulc of rates for the interchange of
! freight packages, and shipment of
the same without necessitating the
'trouble of transferring the freight, at
the intersections of the various lines'
will receive careful attention. There
also came up fo discussion the clause
in the new Constitution which pro
vides for the charges to be levied up
on freight to be transported to dis
■ Lant points, and the rates to he paid
j for the same. There were present at
! the meeting several gentlemen identi
| tied with and representing the various
roads mentioned. Among these were
jj. Lowrie Bell, of the Philadelphia
j and Reading Railroad, P. A. Wykotf
iof the Delaware, Lackawanna and
I M estern Railroad, John Taylor, of
I the Lehigh Valley Railroad; B. A.
j liegeman, of the Central Railroad of
| New Jersey; and Ellis Clark, of the
j North Pennsylvania Railroad. The
j Pennsylvania Railroad Company was
| not represented, from t ie fact that

■have always pursued the policy' of
I not discriminating in freight and
j passenger charges in favor of distant

The Civil Rights Debate —Mr. Elli
ot's Speech.
WASHINGTON, Jan. (.—The vote
■ on the Civil Rights Bill was not tak
en at 4 o'clock, as had leen agreed
and ordered. The bill, consequently
went over as unfinished business.
The feature of to-day's debate was
j the speech of Mr. Elliott, of South
Carolina. Mr. Elliott is of the black
est of his race, a fact to which he re
ferred with much feeling, in rogrett
ting that it was necessary for him, in
jan American Congress, to ask for
civil rights. His speech was well
written and it was delivered with the
earnestness and eloquence of a natur
al and experienced orator. The Af
rican love of melody was noticeable
in the harmony of his delivery. Eve
ry sentence closed with a musical ca
dence. The speech manifested ex
tended education and careful culture,
ft was the most praiseworthy effort
yyet made by a Colored member. It
was strange to hear a negro Con
gressman, within the hearing of the
Supreme Court, criticise the I)red
Scott decision. Mr. Elliott thought
that Alexandra 11. Stephens showed
a poor return to the country that had
been so magnanimous to him, and
had not learned the lesson of the war,
since now he opposes civ 1 rights,
and as for Mr. Harris, of Virginia,
who yesterday treated a colored Coii
i gressman with such contempt, lie
had to say that he would show" him
that a negro could be magnanimous
j enough not to strike at weakness,
and that he would grant him the
! mercy of his silence, a sentiment
; which pleased the House so much
; that the Speaker could not repress
j the applause.— New York Time s.
! GOVERNOR IIARTRANFT is entitled
• to emphatic praise for the mauncr in
! which lie is endeavoring to carry out
both the spirit and letter of the new
I constitution. His annual message is
I really a model State paper. Digni
i lied, temperate, and patriotic in tone,
i it is also clear terse, and. altogether
j creditable in style. His advice to
the Legislature and the people rela
tive to the means of securing the full
benefit of the reforms provided for in
the new organic law is among the
; best which ever emanated from a
