CLEARFIELD, Pa.
WIDNKBDAY MOKNINrt, JAN. 19, 1881.
Rseder, If yon want to know what la Klnjr od
ta tha busln.ss world, Juit read our advsrtislng
oeiomns, tat Apeelal oolumn id particular.
Our first pago is covored with select
reading mutter this week.
Seo fourth pago of this papor for
something startling in the political lino.
Tlmro in goiiiotliing lor the farmer,
houso-koc'ier, and tho student, on our
first pngo this week.
The Sonatorsbip has been tho dis
turbing element around Harrisburg
for tho past ten days.
1'ans it. Senator Pendleton has
presented a bill prohibiting political as
sessments or contributions from oflico
holders and contractors. Tho penalty
provided is dismissal of t hobfllco holder
and annulment of tho contracts.
The SKNATORsnip. Tho Democrat
io Senators and members of Asscnrbly
mot in tho Stato Library rooms, on
Monday night, and nominated Senator
Wallaco for re election, llo received
tho full Democratic voto 85 thirteen
Senators and soventy two IteprcHonta
tivos. Flowers. This sooms to bo the
game that forty-six Radical memborB
of our Legislature hare adopted. That
number of that "grand moral idea"
poople could not stomach Olivor, and
therefore they remained out of tho
Cameron caucus so as not to soil their
political roputations.
A Busy Time. Tho Treasurer of
tho United Stntes has to sign his namo
about 300,000 times a year. Just at
present ho is moro engaged than usual,
as owing to tho largo payments of the
soason, ho has to sign 57,000 checks
and warrants on maturing obligations
botwoen tho 10th and 24th of this
month. This is an avcrago of 4,000
a day, Sundays included.
Pussy. The Democrats of little
Clinton seems to muko as much f
over the vacant seat of tho late lamont
od Whaloy, in llio "11. I!.," at llarris
lurg, as though tho man elected lo fill
tho vacancy might bocomo Governor,
or bo made a Plenipotentiary. They
have so many statoemon down there
that a mishap of tho kind almost pro
duces a stampede
I HE hENATORSHIP. As WO CO tO
press (Tuesday noon) the Legislature
is in joint session in the Hull of tho
House trying to elect a United Status
Senator. If tho fifty six Grow kickers
hold out, Oliver, tho Cameron noini
noo, cannot be elected. It looks as
though Grow would not allow Olivor
to bo elected, and Oliver will not allow
Grow to step into Wallace's shoes.
An Old Hfxic Tho grand jury of
Essex county, row Jcrsoy, sitting in
Newark, closod tho presentment by re
commending the whipping post as a
mode of punishment, for wifo beating
is on tho incrcaso ; that imprisonment
is a punishment that results ofton to
the injury of the wifo and family of
tho accused without any corresponding
reformation on his part, and that, on
the whole, tho whipping post should be
set up.
Plying About. Tho Spoakor of
the House at Harrisburg has not yet
announcod his Committees, consequent
ly tho Legislature has nothing lo do
but lo moot and adjourn. Tho body
adjourned last Friday. Tho House
mot on Monday evening anil tho Scn
ato at 11 A. II. on Tuesday. Wo sus
pect that no Committees will bo an
nounced until alter tho Sonalorship
takes a more positivo shapo.
New United States Senators.
Quite a number of United Stntes Sena
tors will beeloctcd this week. Thomas
A. Bayard will bo his own successor
from Delaware; P. M. Cocrcll, of
Missouri, will be his own successor ;
Eugene Hulo will succeed Hamlin, from
Maine; Gen. 3. B. Uawley will sue
ceod Mr. Katon, Irom Connecticut;
James U. Pair will euccood William
Sharon, from Nevada; Mr. Conger,
the present clown of tho Houso, will
go into the Senato from Michigan.
Thanks. State Treasurer llutlerhaa
our thanks for a bound copy of his re
port for 1880. From it wo learn that
tbe Stoto debt on tho 1st day of Do
cembor last, was twenty-one million
five hundred and sixty-ono thousand
nine hundred and eighty-nine dollars
and sixty fivo cents (121,661,980.65),
nearly ten millions of which is bearing
6 per cent interest, all of which could
be refunded at four per cent, and in
this way save 33 per cent to Iho tax
payers in tho shape of interest.
Sound Financiering. The Phila
delphia Record remarks: "On? amia
ble and ostoemcd contomporary, the
Bulletin, is informed that whilo tho
Record is not inclined to regard a na
tional debt as a national blessing, In
disguise or otherwiso, It docs not see
much sense in taxing to death tbe
present generation, which has already
extinguished something like a quarter
of the vast indebtedness the country
stood aghast at in 1865, in order to
wipe out all the rest of it before a new
generation comes upon the stage of ac
tion. The Record favors a long-time
bond because, in the first place, it be
lieves such bonds could be more easily
placed than bonds with a briol limit of
option ; and, in the second place, (or
the reason that it would be bettor lor
the country that the protectionists
should not bare this pretext for swin
dling the people out oi 110 for every
one that the high tariff brings into the
Treasury."
KCKLEY B. CO.Yli.
On our fourth page will bo found
tho reasons at length why the above
named gentleman reliiHcil to take tho
oath ol Senator at the meeting of tho
Legislature. His statement startled
tho occupants of tho Senate Chamber.
Some lewd politicians muko sport of
bis conduct. They seem to think that
bo should bare done as Garfield did
swear that bo did not got the (329.
Wo copy tho following from llio Wi'.kcs
litrro Leader, published at his homo.
Tho editor says:
"An unparalleled cxamplo of lofty
regard for conscientious promptings
was shown iu tho Senato Chamber of
Pennsylvania by Keliley 11. Coxe, who
was chosen to represent tbis(21st)Sen
atorial district in the Legislature at the
lata election. Mr. Coxo refused to
take the oath of office for reasons set
forth iu Lis explanation olsewhere pre.
sentod. This action of tho part of
Mr. Coxo will pass into history as a
most noteworthy incident. Nutiually
enough it created a profound sensatioii
in the Senato, and wo may well infer
that many members of that august
body, especially thoso created by tho
Republican machino, know that if the
veil was torn, from tho methods by
which thoir own soats were secured,
that Hi oy, loo, would bo compelled to
vacate.
Tho careful and wiso reader of Mr.
OoWo IvHar mill dlauUVur lUKl lh Is tt
cutting satire upon the law which pro
scribes what a candidate for oflico may
and may not do. His constant reiter
ation of the italicized words "expressly
authorized by law," indicates that Mr.
Coxo intended to show up in a way
nover before attempted, and ono quite
likely to attract universal attention,
the absolute absurdity of a law which
makes it possible for a man not quite
so conscientious as Mr. Coxe, to do all
and even more than ho did in securing
bis election and then to charge it all
up to things "authorized." This is tho
way tho law has been evaded ever
since its enactment, and Mr. Coxo pre
sents tho first case on record of a man
boldly refusing to accept tho ovasions
which other men around him did with
out hesitation. Poi how many of tho
present members of tho Legislature
are there who did not spend a littlo
something oulsido tho rules "authoriz
ed ?" We tako it that if every man
had made yesterday as honest and as
conscientious a statement as Mr. Coxo
did, that now elections would bo tho
rulo in nearly ovory district in tho
State.
"Tho question will now como up as
to what is to be dono under the cir
cumstances. Tho Legislature will or
der a now election to tuko place within
a short timo. This will bring us close
on to our municipal elections in Feb
ruary. Tho canvass promises to bo a
waim and exciting ono with this new
contest for Senator thus suddenly pro
cipitatcd. Under tbo circumstances
there appenrs to bo but ono thing left
for tho Democracy of tho Twenty-first
Senatorial District to do, and that is
to renominate and re elect Eckley B.
Coxo. Already the opposition are at
work. Their organ in this city to
day, refusing to Bee anything rightoous
or commendable in the conduct of Mr.
Coxo, roils at him, and by mean insin
uation, attempts to belittlo him in tho
eyes of his constituents. Long ago we
said that Mr. Coxe showed that ho
had a big head and a big hoart. Now
he shows that ho has a big conscience
too. Turning back the pagos of politi
cal hiBtory in Luzorno, wo shall find
charged np against the Republican
candidates, who have boon successful
aspirants for high oflico, much, very
much, that will not stand tho test of
honesty under tho law as measured by
Mr. Coxo's conscientious standard.
The least the Radicals in tho Twenty
first District say about bribery, bull
dozing and wholesale frauds in tho con
duct of campaigns, the bettor it will
bo for them just at present. It is a re
liof to turn from the niggardly expres
sion of the Record of this city, to the
frank and manly uttorances of tbe
Scranton Republican as follows:
" 'Tbo caso of Eckley B. Coxo, Sen
ator-elect of the Twonty-firet District,
who declines to tako tho prescribed
oath of office, for tho reasons as stated
in our dispatch, is anomalous and
shows a super-conscientiousness rare
ly found in politicians, Tho position
taken by Mr. Coxo is crcditablo to bis
sense of right, howovor absurd it may
strike tho professional politician. His
objections to taking tho oath as pro
scribed, as set lorth in his statement,
suggests a change in tho law that will
cover tbo expenses as arc therein nam
ed. Mr. Coxo's refusal to qualify will
oompel a now election before the
Twonty-first District can bo represent
ed at Harrisburg.' "
Shoddy Statesmen. Pennsylvania,
the second State in the Union in pop
ulation and the first in its great wealth,
in agriculture, manufactures and min
eral wealth, is now under Republican
ring rulo, struggling amongst ninnies
and nobodies to find a Senator. So long
as tho licpublican party remains in
power the ring that rules it for selfish
and corrupt purposes will not allow
any Pcnnsylvanian of really great
ability to represent her in the Unitod
Slates Senato. Tho rulers and mana
gers ol the party do not compare fa
vorably with statesmen of real worth
and they mean that none shall step to
tbe front
The Cart Bekore tue Horse. An
aged and respected editor states tho
caso in this way : "WhonBeochorena-
tor Conkling and ex Senator Christ!.
ancy, all high in tho Republican
church, rid themselves of nastiness,
there will bo more time to devoto to
tho social evil in our alloys and by
ways." I his, in our judgment, is the
wrong way to start a reform. Thoro
is no use in trying to reclaim those old
roosters. Break np tho alley businoss.
Then you put the cart behind tho horse
and tho movement will be a success.
Traininu. The Harrisburg corres
pondent of the Pittsburgh Gazette
thinks that Auditor General Scbell is
"training" for the next Gubernatorial
race and that bis competitor will most
likely be General James A. Boavcr, of
Jicllefgnto.
Sahfli Senators. Connecticut, Del
aware, Indiana and Ohio have made a
chalk mark for Pennsylvania to over
leap if she can. Uawley, Bayard, Har
rison and Sherman are men fit to be in
the Senato of the United States.
T HACKS OF ROYALTY.
It is as visillo as the noso on a hu
man luco Unit 111 ere are persons in
this country that despiso our Republic
und are looking for something strong
and royal. Tho third termors are tho
lenders in this onslaught upon our
Domociutio system of (lovei nmcnt,
and Grunt is tho instrument they pro
pose lo use. These men gave him
mono)to go and view Empires, King
doms and other despotic frames of
Government so as to bo able to pluy
any part if an opportunity would oiler
in his day. To bo moro specific, wo
call the attention of our readers to the
fact thai some timo sinco a bill was in
troduced In the House proposing, as
suggested by Mr. iluyos in his last
message, to make Gonerul Grunt a
Captain General in tho army. The
sub committee of tho House Commit-
too on Military Affairs, to which Ibis
extraordinary measure was referred
alter giving tho matter long and seri
ous consideration, have agreed to re
port adversely to the full committeo,
and this probably settles tho Cuplain
genoralcy business. On Monday of
last week, iu a spirit of compromise as
it wore, tienoral Logan introduced a
bill in the Senato to mako our illustri
ous national mendicant a General in
tho army, and retire him on a Gun
oral's full pay. It further provides
that the President may, if an emer
gency arises, call upon tho rerTrcd war
rior to draw his trusty but rusty swoid
and march forth to battle with tho
rank and command of a General. Gen-
oral Sherman will pluck his grizzled
beard when ho hears of this renewed
attempt to belittlo his ofliciul rank.
Such royal footprints should convince
tho most skeptical that tho Republic
is in jeopardy. Tho mon who want
to overthrow our form of Govorment
aro few, but thoy are busily at work
to carry out thoir wicked schemes.
Be on guard.
Not lmraonABLE. Tho Now York
Sun takes this view of tho Senatorial
oaso in this Stato : "It isBupposod that
Mr. Olivor, who is engaged with Mr.
Cameron in the profitable business of
making nuts and bolts, or something
of tho sort, would be the fortunato per
son. But wo intimated long sinco that
there aro men in Pennsylvania united
to tho Camurons by ties strongor oven
than thoso formed of nuts and bolts.
Among thoso are Messrs. Hoyt and
Quay. It now appcarB that Oliver and
bis Pittsburgh friends begin to realize
the danger of bis being dropped at the
last moment, and tho strength of tho
various Rings concentrated upon ono
of tho more conspicuous friends of tho
house of Cameron. Uoyt is the man
Don Cameron wants, and ho will be
olectod If the managors aro satisfied
that they can trust Lieut. Gov. Stone
for the remainder ol tho Gubernatorial
torm. Olivor has sorved a useful pur
pose in hiding tho roal dosi.jn and
drawing tho firo which would havo rid
dled Uoyt; but, in caso it should prove
convenient, ho would be cast aside with
as little compunction as a squeezed
orange.
A Compliment. It is so seldom that
any of the Christian Advocates say any
thing favorablo of - the Democratic
party that wo copy the following squib
as a uovelty : Tho Domocratio party
is busily employing itself in effecting a
reorganization of its lines, so badly
shattered in the Into election. It seems
determined to put itself in better con
dition before the public than it has been
able to present itself for many years.
We hope it abundant success. This
country must be govorned by parties.
Tho better the parties tho bolter the
government, and tho purity of tbo
party compels, by the power of con
trast, a corresponding purity on the
part of the other. Some of tho prin
ciples advancod, upon which it is pro
posed that tho re-organized party shall
stand, commend themselves to every
impartial judgment. Two of them
havo our hearty sympathy, "freo ships"
and "Civil Service Ileform." Grant
recommended both and Hayes tho last,
and wo think the Republicans made a
mistake in not adopting both.
Morton Sold An exchango says :
There has been a great deal of sport
in Albany at tho oxpenso of Levi P.
Morton, Ho probably contributed
moro substantially to tho success of tho
Republican party last Fall than any
halfdozon of Piatt's or Crowley's
friends. Ho, as Chairman of tho Bank
era ana urokcra Kepublican rmanco
Committee, raised tho money that
saved Indiana and carried Now York.
Uis own contribution was very largo,
and it is said 130,000 of it was given
to Mr. Piatt to make doubtful Assem
bly districts certain. Ho was fooled
out ol tho Vico rresidoncy at Chicago,
and declined tho Navy Department
when Hayes tendered it to him, with
tho intimation that lio could remain
under Garfield. Now he loses tho Son
atorsbip. It is a cold day and ho is
badly left by Conkling, who has had
his man Friday" Plait nominated.
The Colored Breturen. Tho sons
of Ham seem to be as unbatiny just
now as tho Cameron-Oliver Grows.
It was wired from Washington ten
days ago that President Garfield had
somo notion of appointing the nogro
Senator, Bruce, to a placo in tho
Cabinet This seems to havo aroused
the "true bloods" of the African per
suasion, a dolegation of which waited
on Mr. Garfield at Cleveland, Ohio,
lost Friday, at which time and place
"the Government" was notified that it
must not appoint Bruco; but glvo un
to Fred Douglass tho bosl placo thore
was in the gift of the aforesaid Gov
ernment This will cnuso a breezo bo
tweon "the wards of tho Nation."
He Tells it All. Dyor D. Lum,
tbe Assistant Socrclary of the National
Greenback Committeo, says in an opon
letter that he can prove that Genoral
Weaver, the late Geonback candidato
for President, admitted that ho had an
interview with Don Cameron, in which
the latlor promised him 120,000 in aid
of the Greenback canvass. He names
Congressman Bnrch and Editor Cran.

The annual meeting of tbo Pennsyl

KOUail OX (!O'EllX0U 110 )"'.
The Now York .Sim, iu commenting
on the lute annual message ol tho Gov
ernor of this Slute, wherein a stand Is
taken in lavor of converting tho pro
mised middle M-uitenliarv l" a re
formatory instead ol a pcnul institu
tion,' uatliingly remarks: 'Governor
Hoy t's theory seems to be thut great
latitude should be allowed In autliori
ties in preferring reformatory to puni
tivo measures. 'It is not sentimoulul
ism,' says tho Ring Governor, 'but
sound policy and conformiilory to tho
ordinary motives of hiiniun conduct,
which keeps a prisoner out of the fixed
classification with hardened criminals,
if possible, which givos him hope, a
clianco for llio recovery of social influ
onco and tho mcuns of cultivating self
respect' It was on this principle, wo
suppose, that Mr. Uoyt irwidu haste to
pardon tho convicted criiniul, William
11. Koniblo, before ho got into tho pen!
tentiary. He wus anxious to keep Horn
hie out ol the fixed classification with
juil-binlH, and to give him a c bunco for
the recovery of social influence. That
may bo all very well, but the interests
of tbo community are larger than tho
interests of the individual prisoner, und
llio community's inlorestB often require
that tho adroit rascal shall bo locked
up, even at thoBiicrificoof his social in
fluence and self-respect. No, Mr. Hoyt,
you aro altocether too tender-hearted
to bo Chief Magistralo of an ideal lie
public Tho best human anticipations
will never bo realized in Pennsylvania
so long as its Governors aro too solici
tous for the social influence and self
respect of its convicted criminals."
A Correct Version. Col. Foiney
in a lato number of tho Progress says :
Tho theory that tho Solid South will
dissolve undor llio geniol infliienco of
now processes is not true as applied to
politics, or if correct as to tho South,
is still more so as lo tho North. That
which is surest to disintegrate is the
Republican system of bribery and cor
ruption. Such a system cannot last.
Tho fact that it only won last Novem
ber by a narrow margin of volus, thai
its majority is made up of negroes, and
that on the basis of the white votes
Garfield was beaten by a half million,
shows that llio licpublican organiza
tion is a sham and a shudow, to pass
away in a short timo ; whereas tbo
tremendous poll or tho Democrats
against such an aray of odds shows
that it is tho only true, stern, and last
ing reserve of the nation."
Throws up the Sponge. A Unitod
States Senator-elect has just declined
before having taken his scut. This is
a rather unusuul occurrence, though
in this instanco it Was not wholly tin
oxpoctod. Tho name of the gentleman
who does not care to bo Senator is
James A. Gut-field. Ho has thrown
his long-expected bone to tho constitu
tional lawyers. He declines tho Sena
torinl Beat voted him by tho Ohio as
sombly with thanks, and his declina
tion, has boen Bent to llio Judiciary
Committeo of that body to find out
what is to bo done with it Ohio is
ontitled to two Senators, but llio law
doesn't prescribe how it is to get there
in at oiinvion ' the pe-iilia eol awe
atcd by the Presidential lightning that
struck Garfield.
A Case Settled. Tho Huntingdon
Globe of last wook ays : Tho suit of
Associato Judgo Graffius Miller against
tho Stato for pay for duties performed
out of torm timo, has been decided in
his favor. Tho Auditor Gunerul refus
ed to pay, and Judgo Miller appealed
lo tho Dauphin county oourt. The
caso was argued on Miller's behalf by
Hall k Jordan and contested by Deputy
Attorney General Gilbert. Judgo Pear
son has rendered a decision which
states that Miller is entitled to his pay
for service rendered as an Associate
Judgo out of term timo. This settles
a very important question and ono that
concerns every Associate Judge in tho
State.
Shipping Jim. That President Gar
fiold will bo as great a political and
moral coward us Representative Gar
field has been, is no longer to bo de
nied, His desperate ell'ort lo avoid
a contest with the stalwarts aro an in
dication ot his cowardico not to bo
mistakon. If he could only seo it,
there would bo much less difficulty in
straiglillorward bravery, lor it will be
utterly impossible to hold tho stalwarts
and feather-heads in a closo union for
lour years. Garfield is a very oily
politician, but that is a bigger task
than he can successfully execute.
The Fourth Nation in Point or
Population. Tho Unitod States with
upwards of 51,000,000 inhabitants oc
cupy tho fourth placo among tho na
tions of tho earth. China has over
300,000,000, Dritisli India 100,000,000,
and Russia 86,000,000. In territory
Russia exceeds tho United States by
8,000,000 square miles, while China,
Canada and Brazil havo about thifsaine
extent of territory, 3,!i00,000 square
miles. Tho population of tho United
States to tho square milo is 1 1, that of
Franco 182, Germany 201, England
208, tho Netherlands 282, and Bel
giuin 469.
A New Trial. West Point used to
bo a manufactory of soldiers, but the
Republican party declare! that it is an
institution for equalizing negroes and
white mon. Tho negro Cadet Whilla
ker, who was convicted, last Spring, of
slitting his oars, is to have a new trial
by Court Martial at West Point this
week. Tho Republican party and
the negro raoo demand that Whittakcr
shall bo vindicated.
Vert Expensive. Mr. llnycscost
tho counlry a good round snm last
yoar. First, ho received 150,000 sala
ry, then bo got 169,96 1 oxponsos at the
Whilo House, and besides ho spent
most of the year in junketing over
the country from Maine to California
at tho expense of the Government.
Worse than all ho was not elected and
is a fraud.
San Francisco has lost an interest
ing hermit. Ho was a wealthy and
educated German, named Goorgo Ja

in the hands of the negro by violence
or threats, it is equally truo that in
Now England intimidation of white
voters by employers has been carried
on much moro systematically and upon
a much larger scale. The reports of
the ftcnalo Committee furnish ample
proof of the statement, if ofliciul evi
dence were needed to establish a fact,
of which since tho election of Garfield
tho bulldozing manutacturers make a
boast, and oiler it as a just basis of
future consideration at tbo hands of
tho party they bo effectually served in
this way. We are for a freo ballot

FACTS AND I'MII llts
in his report to Iho I.cgis'aluro, Au
ditor Gcnerul Hehcll Buys that during
the fiscul yeur ending November 30,
IMSII, settlementH buvo been mude
uguihsl delinquent corporulions for
tuxes overdue I'm many years to tho
uinoiint ol f-l'TM" SS, of which sum
the amount of (158,11110.81 bus ulready
been collected and paid into the Treas
ury. in addition tn thu settlements al
ready mude, tho department is ill pos-
session of iiiiilicioiit reports and dututo
etiublo it to muko further settlements
uuiusl delinquent corporutious lo tbo
uinouiil ol over ono quarter ol a mill
ion dollars, und lo put the sumo in pro
cei-s of collection lieloro Muy 1, 1HS1.
The collection ol delinquent tuxes
bus been strenuously resisted by many
companies.
Some of theso conijiunies chimed ex
emption IViiin luxation under special
churteis, and they refused to pay until
compelled by law. Others hud escap
ed taxation lor so long a timo tha'.
liioy imagined that they enjoyed pre
scriptive rights of evusion.
As tho list of delinquent corporations
extends buck over a period of twonty
flvo yoars, tho department has experi
enced grout difficulty in obtaining tho
records of tho olllcors and tho location
of the offices of many companies, and
when tho proper information was ob
tained tho deparlmont was in many
instances tuitlior dulayed by tbe neg
lect or rolusnl of the connninies to
mako their reports. A number of set
tlements, involving considerable sums,
are still pending in Iho courts.
As a consequence ol theso inunitold
delays and contests, many accounts re
main unsettled, and possibly it will ro
quito ono or two years of patient work
on the part of tho department to closo
up nil tbo delinquent cases. It is firm
ly believed thut -the total amount of
these taxes which have been and may
be recovered will bo about 81,000,000.
The totul amount of taxes ovordue
en Deeenber 1, 1879, collected during
tho fiscal year, is as follows, to wit:
Amount nf delinquent oorporatton tai
i-ollaoted during Ilia year, a portion
of wblch extended tack for tweoty-
rn yean $t48,0t(I.SI
Amount of tax on capital Hook paid -hj

Amount of arrears of tax ou louni from

Total amount 63,C70.IS
The number of building and loan as
sociations registered in this department
in the fiscul yeur ending November 80,
lo!!, was nino hundred and eighty
eight (088); in 18H0 tbo number reg
istered was twenty-nine (20), making
in all ono thousand and seventeen
(1017), of which numbor only ono bun
died and forty-four (141) havo report
ed for taxation. Tho manifest reason
is thut tbo.revenuo act of 1877 as did
prior acts, contained an exception from
taxation on cupitul stock ot "all build
ing associations, banks, saving institu
lions and foreign insuranco companies,"
and lor those years no tax upon cum
tul Btock wus imposed upon uny of the
excepted companies. Tho revenue act
oflSTO excepted Irom taxation ull capi
tal Block except that of building asso
ciations, alii tbo law in this matter
gave the Auditor General no alterna
tive but to decide that building and
loan associations wero taxable uuder
this act. 'i ho opinion was fully bus
luincd by tho Attorney General. Ap
peals have been lalfen to-several casoB
to the court of common pleas of Dau
phin county, and it is expected that
ducisiens will bo made in January
next
STATE PERSONAL TAX
In reference to State personal tax
the Auditor General says: "The Board
of Revenue Commi-sioners have certi
fied to this department the amount of
tho value ot tho property ot the sev
oral cities and counties of the Com
monwealth, as adjusted and equalized
hy them
"It appears that tho Board declined
to increase the amounts of tho valua
tions as returned to them by the coin
missionors of tho several counties on
account of tho docisiou ot tho courts
that they had no authority under tho
law to increase tho valuation ol any
county unless tho objects ol taxation
on which such increase was based wore
shown to bo in existence. This the
Board wore unable to do; hence their
action."
The total valuation of nersonal nrnn
orty fur purposes of State taxation, as
nxed by tbo lioare, is as follows:
A monnt of property auhjaot to a tax
of four milli ,03,11.00

Tho Auditor Gcnerul says that if tho
decision ot his department relation and
nnirmed by tho Attorney (icnorali,
that there must bo an appropriation
for each year, and that the mere crea
tion ol an office and tho designation of
a salary tlierelor aro not sullictent to
constitute an appropriation, wore sanc
tioned by tho Legislature thore would
be no friction in enforcing the consti
tutional provision on this sub ect.
Tne Auditor Genetal urged on tho
Register of Wills of each county to
certify monthly to the department nil
entries made in bis collateral inheri
tance tux book, thereby furnishing the
proper iniormation to urge tne collec
lion of theso taxes.
Tho Auditor General makes a state
ment of the claims for which thoro aro
no appropriations and for which ap
propriations aro necessary. Tho claims
aggrcguto -111,482.24, which sum in
eludes t,42t) for repairs and improve
ments lo public biiildinusand urotinds.
Under tho law of 18-111 tho Auditor
General countersigns all receipts for
moneys paid into tho State Treasury,
and is thereby enabled to ascertain the
amount ol money which has been paid
in at any given timo,

EX STATE TREASURERS' BALANCES.
The Auditor Goncral calls attention
to the fact that several Stato Troas
urors havo retired from office, leaving
unpaid balances resulting from certain

und it is lo this point that public
opinion sboithl bo directed ratuor than
lo the multiplication ol unexecuted
statutes. It certainly is high tune that
the barbarous practice ol bearing con
ccaleu arms are borne lor sou ueieiire,
Hut it is a well-known fact that lite
and person aro less safe in localities
wnero mo practice prevails man in
communities where ull go unarmed. It.
tho latter wo und the pcoplo peaceful,
cordial and respectful, in their bearing
in the former wo meet with Drawls,
affrays and bloodshed. The man who
habitually bears arms on his person in
a peaceful community is an enemy u
socioty, und desorves to bo dealt with
as such. Ho pretends that be nocds
weapons to defend himself. But this
is not true. Po one threatens him
No ono socks his lite. He is really a
disturber ot the peace and arms bim
self for tho quarrels he expects to pro,
voko with others like himself. Much
miilit be done to break up tho vicious
practice by enloroing tbo law without
mercy in every case where a man is
discovered with a concealed weapon on
his person; but tho real euro must
come Irom a mora active and lutein
gent moral sentiment, which will not
tolerate the practice, nor ootintenance
those who are addicted to it. Such a
public sentiment, wo havo reason to
beliovo, is growing up in the state.
Tbe people aro tired of tbe brawling

the Stato would but adopt tho practice
ol arresting and searching persons sus

THE DEA Til PICXA L T Y.
Tho history of crime goes to show
that comparatively few are hold back
through tear of death by hanging.
Of cvniBo, the luar of puilistimont
seeps socioty together, protecting
directly its members. Imprisonment
for life, or long years of solitary con
finement has quite as much resisting

It appears, upon reviewing tho opora
tions of criminal working, that every
example breeds a progeny of kindred
evils, we recollect when the last
batch ol Molli,e Moguire convicts were
executed, that violent crimes broke
out afresh throughout that rvi'ion, and
now, from the Chronicle-Herald wo
loarn that "just one week before tho
appointed time tor banging two mur

men sot upon a young man in this city,

from stabbing him to doath or blowing
out his brains. Two days before tbe

ruffians deliberately seek and nearly
kill ono man and slab another so that
it is yet a question whether he will
