vania, tlio financial airunt of the Cun-

an aiUlreun on the pronnccta of the Cen
tennial. Tlio Governor aMke aa fol
lowa :
In tho jirogrena of time as we wore
ncarinc t ho close of tho firet century
of the Jti'imlilio the thouirht occurred
to some ono that it would ho a proper
uiiiiir ior iiiu peutiiu oi me t'nileu
Staten to coininemorate with titling
ceremonies tho centennial anniversary
of tlio event that brought the .Repub
lic into existence. That thou ir lit lias
M'Botne been attributed to Mr. jlinllev
S. (ircirorv, of New Jemcv. and hv
others to Prof. Campbell, of Indiana.
1:: .: :.L l ri i.
riuiniiiiu: wiiu wiiicn ii may, h was
glorious and timely. I should bo proud
to claim it for my State had I sufficient
grounds for the claim ; but neither the
original thought nor tho original action
neiongs to lier. 1 he honor of the
thought belongs to tboone or the other
of the gentlemen I have named, and it
is conceded that tho first action to
give the thought practical effect came
from the American Institute of New
York ; but Philadelphia moved soon
thereafter, and sho was aelucted aa tho
looation of tha rotoheattnn, rnvaunn
within her limits had been first enun
ciated tho doctrines of solf-eovemment
and independence. The Congress of
the United states, as you all know, in

vision for celehntting the firet centen
nial anniversary ot too Independence ol
America, and provided in that law that
national and international exhibition
of "arte and manufacturers and the
products of tho soil and the mine"
should bo leading feature in the cere
monies : and you know, also, that Con
gress did at the same time provide that
the management of tlio great national
demonstration should be intrusted to
Commissioners from the several States
and Territories, and that the entire
work should lie "conducted under the
auspices of the Government of the
Uuited States," thereby, as I hold, as
sociating the honor of the country
with tho fate of the celebration. The
Commissioners wore to be nominated
hv the Governors of the several Slalos
and Territories, and to bo appointed
hy tho t resiuent, and so the commis
sion was ponstitutod. littt it waa soon
discovered that that body waa wanting
in authority to raise tho capital to
make the needHil preparations for the
celebration and exhibition. To moot
this need, Congress, in June, 1872,
created another corporation, known aa
tho Centennial Board of Finance, with
authority to raise capital to the extent
of $10,000,000 by soiling ita own capi
tal siock ; ano w ineenu mai me cele
bration might bo broadly national it
waa provided that tlio several States
and Territories should have the right
to auliscriho to the stock according to
the population of each.
The Hoard of Finance proceeded to
a vigorous dischargo of the duties im
posed upon it under the law, and did
apportion to the several Slates and
Territories the amount of stock to
which they wore entitled, and books
and other materials to facilitate the
subscriptions were distributed through
out all parta of the country, and a
large amount of stock had been sub
scribed for in Pennsylvania and Phila
delphia, when tho panic of 1873 ar
rested the best efforts of the board. -
The noxt important movement shout
the Centennial arose in Congress. On
tho appearing of tho report of tho com
mission in that body it waa discovered
that there waa a large deficiency in tho
nocessary amount of capital to make
preparations, and that tho Board of
rinance estimated that deticiency at
$3,(100,000.
On (he question of what was best
under the circumstances a general dis
cussion arose. Although in some aav
pocts tho discussion scorned harmful, it
waa nbvorthelcss proper, for Congress
waa the only body vented with power
(o fix tho fate of tho undertaking. It
had the power to supply the deficiency
of capital ot to repeal all the laws on
the subject and end tho efforts to cele
brate the centennial anniversary of
American Indepondonce, but, after full
reflection, it did neither the one nor the
other, but hy friendly legislation, such
as admitting articles for exhibition free
of duty and requesting the President
in extend a cordial invitation to the
Governments of foreign countries to be
represented and take part in the ex
hibition, Congress did show ft desire
to have the rolchratlon carried th rough.
And at the same time by declining to
furnish material aid for the prepara
tions, it did also show Ita determina
tion to adhere to th policy foreshad
owed in the laws of 1871 and 1872, to
wit: that the capital for the prepara
tions should arise from the voluntary
contributions of the people rather than
from the pnblio troaoury. The Board
of Finance, laat Spring, accepted this
definition of policy by Congress, and
Immediately appealed to the coantry
for material aid, with a somewhat
modified programme, to enable persona
of very moderate mean to have a part
in the work ; and It ia now tht determ
ination of the board to follow np this
CLEARFIELD,
Klan with tho utmost seal and energy,
oping, through it, to raise all the cap
ital noceasary for the general prepara
tions, without milking application to
Congress, not doubting that that body,
with which the chief ruspoosibility of
the late ot tlio Uenteumul rents, will
provide for tho Government's part of
the exhibition, to wit: the premiums,
tho police guard, and pay its own
agents.
Thoreare other dotuila which 1 ought
to givo you. i For instance, the shares
of stock are f 10 each, and in the elec
tion for Directors the stockholders
have one vote for each share. There
is no liability attaching to the stock or
tlio subscribers thereto. All tho build
ings and other properly, and the re
ceipt tor ai.'mission tickota, 4c, belong
fo the stockholders, and they are en
titled to any balance that may rctnuiu
niter tho expenses are paid, and the
law of Congress requires that tho.
Hoard or finance shall, allor the close
of tho exhibition, sell all the property,
and divide among the shockholders,
pro rata, whatever remains alter pay
ment of tho debts.. OI'courHO this does
not include the buildinin paid for bv
the Suite of Pennsylvania or tho City
of Philadelphia.
It is alway difficult to foretell tlio
pecuniary rosult ot an enterprise of
this kind; but those who know the
most about it, judging from tlio pres
ent outlook at home und abroad, main
tain that the slock ouirlit to he paid in
full, and mora, lint bo this as it may,
there is not ono of you who intends to
witness tho great ceremonies who will
not desire to occupy the proud position
of an owner; and I am eonfident, what
ever you may think at present, that
when you look at the va.it buildings
and their contonUyou will congratu
late yourselves on Having bad some
pnrv in mis glorious worK.
a he emblematic medals which are
offered, which wore provided by luws
of Congress, and which are protected
against counterfeiting by the United
State Coinage law, are intended to
show that the holders did what thev
could toward the preparation of the
ami centennial anniversary ol Ameri
can independence. The names of the
purchasers ol medals will be inscribed
on tho great roll of contributors that
is to bo kept and transmitted to jkwv
tcnty..
1 am continent that you mtiBt feel
esjiecinl interest in the present status
of this great enterprise, and 1 shall
give it to you in as few words as prac
ticable, the buildings are an art gal
lery, covering two and a half acres, a
main exhibition building, covering twen
ty acres, a conservatory of two and
a hall acres, a machinery ball ot twelve
acres, and tho agricultural department
of fivo acres, making a total of forty
two acres, which, witb the siwce oc
cupied by the zoological gardens, and
tho cattle pens, anil grounds for tho
agricultural tests, will mako a vast
pace. i
It mav occur to some that It ia ilifll.
cult to find this in the vicinity of a
great city, but the Philadelphia Park
oovera 8,000 acres, and the city Itself
an area of 75,000 acres, I may aav,
also, lor your inioriniilion, mat it lias
greater dwelling capacity, lor the
number of inhabitant, than any other
city of tho world. Yon need not bo
troubled about lodgings. If the hotel
accommodations prove deficient, you
will bo furnished witb bettor accom
modations. There aro now great
blocks of buildings going up, for pri
vate resident, which," with very many
that are now constructed and furnished
will bo used to accommodato tho visi
tor at tho great celebration. Infor
mation as to thoso will be furnished to
the country throngh the proper bureau.
lleslilus, 1 know It to ba the intention
of Col. Scott, President of the Penn
sylvania Knilroad, to make such ar
rangement a will, to a large oxtont,
make the New York hotels availahlo
for the purposes of the Centennial.
Home mouths since the art building
and the uiuin exhibition building were
contracted for, and the inner walls of
the art building aro np to tho square,
and the granite will be all put up dur
ing the coming Wintor: and its com
pletion in tinio is fully assured. The
loundation ol the twenty-acre building
is nearly completed, and the glass and
iron are being prepared with satisfac
tory expedition, and it completion
within the time prmenbed may be con
fidently relied on. The conservatory
and the machinory hall will bo con-1
traded for within a few days; the
agricultural department, which can be
completed within a few mouths, will
bo commenoed In the tsnnnir. J say.
further, there is nothing in the finan
cial condition of the Board of Finance
to interfere with the progress of theso
buildings. The State of Pennsylvania
and tho City of Philadelphia havo pro
vided for the art gallery the city for
mo machinery nail and the conserva

stock, already secured, amount to about
12,000,000, which sum, with what we
expect to get from Connecticut and
other States, will bo applied to the
main exhibition building- and the aim-
cultural department. So yoo seo the
great problem of the buildings is solved.
The next inquiry that naturally arises
is, nut mere ne any Hung to put into
these great buildings f I answer, un
hesitatingly, an abundance. Tlieaptice
already appliod for decides that ques
tion affirmatively, and eighteen months
still remain before the opening. I
know that the Director General, A. T.
Uoahorn, is already impressed with tho
great difficulty of restraining tbu oxbibi
tion. That is, to restrain it in quan
tity an as to elevate It In kind. I havo
myself, within a brief period, visited
all tho great cities of the country, and
witnessed the exhibitions at Cincinnati,
Chicairn. Indianapolis. St. Louis. Louis
ville, Philadelphia, and New York, and
have gathered some knowledgo of the
public feeling, and I feci warranted in
saying that in the department of ma
chinery and of the. useful art gener
ally, and in that of manufactures anil
natural productions, the display will
overshadow all it pnaiecesaoni. The
prospect of attendance and display
from foreign couutries is brightor by
far than the Commission had antici
pated. And on this point I desire your
sjiccial attention while 1 correct the
erroneous improasion made by ft dis
patch from naahingtion which ap
peared in the New York Wnrii a few

take part In tho exhibition. In ton of
tho countries named Commissioners
havo been appointed 1 raro for the
article to be exhibited and in seven
or eight it is known that handsome
appropriations have been made to de
fray tho nocessary expenses. The cor-
roapondont referred to intimate that
Austria will tako no interest in tho
American Exhibition, whereas Baron
Schwarc-Scnborn, the Austrian Minis
ter, a few daya ago, alter looking at
the grounds aud plans, made statements
aa to tho application now on file in
his country for permit and space that

signified his intention to bo present nt
the exhibition) is known to have re

his Parliament has lUv'el Urwl an op
portunity to tako action on the subject.
lirnzil bus, however, made an applica
tion for U4.600 square feet of exhibit
ing space, which is nearly four times
the amount that has been reserved for
her in tho preliminary allotment of
space, and was supposed to bo quite as
much as she would care to nil.
Ihera is also unofficial, but trust
worthy, information that extensive pre

and thorough.

for examplo, will not assemble before

President's invitation can scarcely be
taken before that timo.
I am at a loss to discover, in view of
tneso lucta, bow any fair minded man
could doubt the success of the inter
national feature. It is not reasonahle
to conclude that the Governments that
have favorably accepted the Invitation
will not Uka further action. Thore is
yet a year and a half intorvoninir. and
you know that six months, preceding
ino lenna exhibition no decisive ac
tion bad been taken in this country,
and no money appropriated. It was
in this view that the disnatch from
Washington was calculated to make a
false impression, and since the date of
that dispatch tho Dominion of Canada
has officially applied for space for her
people. Brazil has also made, a I
have already shown, a like application
for the enormous space of 64,000 square
feet And yet another point ; ao far

And now let mo say in this connec
tion that it is no uncommon thinir to
see intimations that tbe celebration and
exhibition could have been a great suc
cess had it been merely national. No
more palpable fallacy ever came from
the lips of any one. What would you
tlilTik of a jiiili;ment of a man who
would tell you that one of the State
of the Union could make a greater din
play than all? For that would be
just as aonnd aa to reason that ono
memlier of tbe family ol nations, m the
matter of art, manufactures, and re
source, could present a display equal
to tho whole.

reason to bo gratified that it was made
a moans to tbe celebration, for wo are
thus enabled, with commemorating the
founding of our institutions and doing
honor to the memory ol the great men
who established our Government, to
impart and receive treat lesion in the

1 wish 1 had tho precise utterance of
linron Schwarz-Hcnborn, delivered at
Philadelphia a few days sinco. a to
the value of tho lato exhibition in
Austria. IIo said that maniifacturinir
had received a strong impulse, and
that new and special branches had
sprung up in and about Vienna; that
looked at from this standpoint, the ex
hibition had been a most judicious in
vestment I cannot doubt that the ex
hibition of 1876 will prove so to our
country, for whilo wo may havo les
son to impart, there are many more
we snouia accept .
If this exhibition can lie to ua what
that of 1851 was to England, we shall
havo groat reason to thank Coneree
for having adopted this modo oi com
memorating the dawn of our national
existence. Prior to 1851 England had
mnde no marked progreaa in the manu
facture of artist io article, calculated
for household adornment and theothor
fine fabrics, but under tho inspiration
of tho WorM'a Fair of that year her
manufacturers accepted great lessons
and brought thorn into ituuiediate use.
the result of which ia that, instead of
reliving on the Continent for their fine
goods, she now produces her home
consumption, and bus becomo a heavy
oxporter in these articles. So with re
gard to many other leading branches.
Her ponplo were not too proud to ac
cept the lessons that came to them in
this way, and I hope tha Americans
may not be. We have a strong Incli
nation to vanity, as some of our people
also have to large profit, and 1 think
between the two tliey will accept tbe
latter. We need quite a many lesson
ai wo can impart
' Franco, observing the groat result
of the English exhibition of 1851, held
one in 1855, and another in 18G7, which
have resulted in the name great bless
ings to her. Indeed, from her exhibi.
tions date her gnat progress in rail
roads and other grrtt national improve
ment. (
On tho propriety of celebrating the
Declaration ol Ind IkhIciico and re-calling
the incident of our early history,
and doing honor to the memory of the
great and good men who established
our institutions, there can be, and is,
nodifTcrenooof opinion. On this point,
I am proud to aay, the American heart
is warm everywhere. I am sure this
noble State of your, which furnished
more soldiors for the struggle which
gave na independence than any State
in the Union, savo Massachusetts, will
not be backward In this great work.

catch impressions and receive the mean

Every sentiment that looks Into ita

plays in miniature on it countenance.
1'he tear that steals down the cheek of
a mother's suppressed grief gather the
little infantile face into a responsive

It studies the mother in her prayer,

A private letter from an officer at
Fort Sill, Indian Territory, give tbe
following account of an ingenious ex
pedient adopted to aid some soldiers
in a strait: "Corporal John Smith, of
the fortieth 1 man try, with four men
were employed on some detail tome
twenty-five mile from this post.
While thus engaged he wa surprised
by a body of some hundred or more
mounted Indians, ho thinks either Kio
wa or Camanchea, from this reserva
tion. As their purposo wa unmis
takably hostile, he and bis men lost no
time in taking to the only available
shelter, an old buffalo wallow, where,
in a very uncomfortable, constrained
Gition, tliey managed to protect their
ies and keep their enemie at a dis
tance for the day and night Tbe
noxt morning, however, their suffer
ings for want of food and water be
came rather serious, and something
had to bo dona. Corporal Bmith waa
nal to the occasion ; taking a piece
his own white shirt, the only sub
stitute tor psper to be had be wrote
a note describing their situation, secured
It with earo to the nock of a small,
shaggy, mongrel dog which bad fol
lowed them from the tort ; then, bat
tering np a canteen, he fastened it to
the animal's tail and let him go, Tbe
dog, to quote th Corporal' own ex
pression, 'just humped himself,' ' The
Indians, taking it to be a mere act of
bravado, 1 presume, mado no attempt
to stop him, and within two hours of
the time he started, the dog reached
tho post Suocorwas Immediately ant,
and the brave Corporal and his com
rades brought in, the Indians making

Aia Bells. Tho French haveasys-
tom of bells lately patented, which
work by air. A aeries of small leaden
tit lie proceed from the kitchon to each
room, one to the sitting-room, one to
the drawing-room, and one to each
bed-room. Attached to these tube,
in each room, are a few feet of India
rubber tubing, suited in color to tho
paper of the room. To the end of the
tube a syringe ia fixed air-tight, and
this hangs similar to an ordinary bell-
rope. Jn the kitchon is a case contain
ing the hell, which serves for all the
rooms, the distinction being affected
by tickets with th name of their re
spective room printed on them, held
down hy springs. They work In this
manner: The India-rubber syringe
ia pressed, and th air by this means ia
forood through the tube into a corres
ponding India-rubber syringe or ball in
the case in the kitchen. This, of course,
expands, and forces up a small rod,
which moves a cog-wheel and rings the
bell, and nt the same time set true the
spring which retains the ticket of the
room In which the bell is rung; this

bells act as effectively a electric bells,
which they resemble exceedingly in

A XOVEL KIND OF MURDER.
THE DANGER OF TRAVELING IN COMPART
MENT OAR. '
Ten years ago the terrible murder of
nr. unggs on uie i onu ixinuon tunl-
way caused the whole metropolis to be
seized with a panic. M r, llngirs. it may
be remembered, was on his way borne
when bo was marked at tho terminus
by tho miscreant Muller, who observed
uiat ne carried a very vauaDie watch
and chain, tiottlug into tbe same car-
riage with hi victim, Muller timed hi
opKrtunity and between one station
and another struck M r. Unggs heavily
ovor the temple, lie then rifled tho
lifeless body and tossed it out upon the
line to take it chance. On mora than
one occasion men have been thrown
from railway train running at full
speed, and have afterward been taken
up very little injured. Mr. Hrigg a
leaa lortunato. lie waa found In
dying state on tbe path ordinarily
known a the six-foot way. between
the up metal and the down, and tho
medical evidence loll no doubt that he
had been foully assaulted. For a few
days tbe circumstance of tho affair
remained a mystery,
T,l.: f. , a I !. I j. ...
ultimately suspicion nxeu nseii up
on a young German ot tho uanio of
Muller. i hero are probably lew who
do not remember the extraordinary
romantic circumstances ot .Muller s ar
raignment and trial at tho Old Bailey.
1 no case, as it stands on record in the
page of the Central Criminal Court
Sessions papers, is a most striking
prooi oi tho saying that truth is olten
stranger than fiction. It wa the
merest chanco that gave tho detectives
the first cluo to the identity of the
criminal. Everything it may be re
membered, depended upon a couple of
nats and a small jewelers box con
structed to bold a watch and chain.
The evidence was no doubt slight at
the beginning ; but, a it appeared after
having been pieced together by the
astute intelligence of Scotland yard, It
proved jiositivoly irresistible. Tho
learned Judge before whom Muller was
tried, and who has sinco retired from
the bench, expressed himself perfectly
satisfied witb tho finding of the jury.
"I am aa certain," said ho, addressing
the prisonor, "thnt you committed this
crime aa I am of any other fact w hich
I have not seen with my actual eyes,
but about which I yet entertain no
manner of doubt." With tho summing
up of Mr. Baron Martin tho common
sense of tho general public thoroughly
concurred. That Muller was justly
executed has never been questioned.
The only difficulty in this celebro baa
been to explain bow it was that a
crime so heinous came to be committed
for so light a motive. So far a tho
existing records of tbe trial leave any
evidenco upon the caso, it would ap
pear that Muller noticed Mr. Briggs at
the terminus of the North London
Railway, wearing a valuable chain and,
presumably, an equally valuable watch
that he followed dim Into bis compart
ment ,nd then and thoie, on tho mere
chance of what bis watch and chain
might be worth, be brutally murdered
him. I( is not often wo , A"A
so atrocious perpetrated lor an object
so unimportant. .
Unfortunately, tbe tcrrihlo tragedy
of 18G4 has within tho lost few days
found its counterpart in Moravia. On
November 2d, a certain Mr. Ernest
Katscher was on his way front llrttnn
to Prcrau by tbe night train. This
train left Brum at 11:15, and, shortly
before its departure, he was seen in
the restaurant of the station counting
his loose cash and arranging and sport
ing a large parcel of bonds and coupons.
At Cropiu, tbe station next to Pro
rau, the guard, opening the carriage,
found tho body of the unfortunate man,
who had evidently been murdered. It
wa still warm, showing that tho as
sassination bad licen recently pcrpo
trated ; while at the bottom ot the car
riage was discovered a pocket-knife
with long blade, and with stains that
only too readily told tlio hidoous talc
of the foul purposes to which it had
boon lost applied. A few minutes' ex
amination of the compartment was suf
ficient to satisfy the polico that whilo
Mr. Katscher was lying down asleep
be bad been suddenly stabbod in the
throat Tho blow had severed the
windpipe, thua rendering it impossible
for the unfortunato man to call for as-'
sistance. The body had been stripped
of every thing except a small gold
trinkot, and the murderer had appar
ently made good his escape hy leaping
from the carriage.'.
Suuh were the alight imiiTd which
at first offered themselvos to the Mor
avian police. Before 4 o'clock, how
ever, on the noxt day, the criminal was j
arrested, and all posaiblo doubt of his
fin It bad been put conclusively at rest
t appear that when tho train left
lirunn lor I reran, a small, nam man
in a long overcoat and a aofl-felt hat,
who had only got a thinl-elaa ticket,
waa seen by the guard endeavoring to
enter the second-class carnage in
which Mr. Katscher bad taken hie
place. The attempt was prevented, I
and he took hi proper place In the
third-claw, put at itauasnitcn, a station
little further along the line, he got
out and took a seoond-las ticket to
Nesawislit after which he got at once
into the compart mont occupied by Mr.
Katscher. At 1 esawiaiit he got out
again and took a ticket to Cropin,
however, tne guard looking into me
compartment, discovered at twice t he
deed that had been committed ; and, a
the man who had been soon to sntor
the samo carriage with Mr. Katscher
was not f Hind at Cronin, it was, of
counto, concluded that he had escaped
somewhere between the two places.
The telegraph wa at once put into
requisition, the local police were every
where called out, and within fifteen
hours the miscreant waa in their band.
After fully completing hi murderous
nurnose. he hail jumped from the train
a little before it reached Cropin, liming
in his flail a number nf papers and a
pocket book wet with blood and empty
of it contents. At a village cnlled

stoned at hotel, took ft room, wsshed
and dressed, and then went away.

with blood and a number or fmpers

Koiotin he was tracked to NasawktliU,
and thence to a blue village caneu
Prnssnits, where he was ultimately
arrested. Strange to say, he made no
attempt to deny hi crime On the
eontrary, with a sort of stolid dogged
ness. he volunteered a full cwifii(m.
Ho was, he stated, poor and needy,
and had resolved to have money at

When, indeed, we i compare the
murder of Mr. Briggs witb that of Mr.
Katschor, wo see at once bow widely
the cases differ in their essential details.
On the North London line the traffic
is almost as rapid as upon tbe MetroU
itan Itailway itself But a few min
utes elapse botwoen one station and
another; and at each stopping place
the crowd is so considerable that every
carriage door is sure to be opened.
vt ben, on tho other band, we have a
long lino of rail traversing wide spaces
on the Continent from ono town to
another, we seo at once how much
asior it is for the assassin to ply his
trade, without fear of sudden interrup
tion or arrest, lletwocn caawialitz,
where F round was last seen to get in
to the same carriage with Mr. Kat
scher, and Cropin, where the unfortun
ate gentleman was found dead, a pe
riod ol twenty-three minntos elapsed
During thai space or time a great
deal can be dono by a powerful, res
olute reckless man. It is clear, on the
one hand, that the Austrian detective
police aro far superior to our own in
following np a trail to which they
have tho slightest clue. On the other
band, it is equally plain that the old
system of railway coupartmeut can
not much longer bo continued. Id
America the cars form one long avenue
of scat, up and down which runs an
open gangway. With such an ar
rangement "railway murders," if we
may use the phrase, is out of the ques
tion. It is the railway "compartment"
alone that renders possible crime such
those or Muller and r round. Witb
an approved system of railway trans
port, assassination Iy rail will become
almost as impracticable, as it ia by
omnibus.

Blent. Let us relate briefly the coarse
of the litigation. On January 29,
18G7, or tho public- highway, leading
from Cheshire to Wnterbury,the plain
tiff was driving a sleigh oootaining a
pleasure party, and drawn by six
horses, when tho defendant appeared
before him with a onc-horee. aluigh
comparatively no team at all and per
sisted in walking hi horse. The plain
tiff desired the defendant to turn out
so that his pleasure party might paaa,
hut be was implacable. For two long,
dreary miles, tho plaintiff alleges, Uie
ono-borso sleigh was "unnecossarily,
wrongfully and unlawfully
in a slow walk immediately forward of
the plaintiff team," It waa not until
Gcorgo Hine's house was reached that
the dolcndant allowed the plaintiff to
pass. The feelings of tho plaintiff at
ihe timo can bo imagined, but it is di
flcult to conceive of a deliberate jour
ney to f lawyer's office, and an ever
hauling of the statute book. "An
act concerning the driving of car
riages and tlio management of steam
boats" was found. The penalty for a
violation of the statute ia 17.50, half
to the town in which the VKiutioa
done, and half to the informer. A
nit wn at once brought before ft jus
tice, and Mr. llotchkia got his 13.75
that is, ho got a luilgment for that
amount The case was then taken to
the Superior Court, th plaintiff, Be

tbe declaration was insufficient, wa
sustained. Eight year nf litigation

of feeding the calf np to the time of

longer, or up to tha time of eoming to

A good deal of Indignation is felt at
the fact, now ascertained, that the
District Government paid out of the
money arising from the taxpayer for
counsel to defend them during th
district investigation, nr. Alaltuigly

Hick Harrington, the conspiracy hero,
15,000. All this came out of the gen
eral fund and haa been allowed by the
Board of Audit. In othor word, the
King plundered the people and the
people aro compelled to pay tho lawyer
to defend the plunderer. -
There is evidently a well organized
conspiracy on the part of the Wash-.
ington liing to got back to the old
system of popular suffrage under which
tne negroes by voting early and often ,
managed to control Uie elections of tbe
District, the taxpayers retiring in hope
less disgUBt from the control. Boss
Shepherd is understood to favor this
policy, as he believe that he could be
elected to the office of Governor. Com
missioner or some other high position
by the negroes, and thus have a seem
ing vindication. His money wonld
accomplish snch a result On th
other hand tbe opinions of a large num
ber of the leading business men and
taxpayers have been canvassed, and
they stand fully twenty to one, regard
less of party, against elections and Biiff-
