In regard te the subject of free passes the Pennsylvania railroad company's beard of directors, in their annual re port te the stockholders, -which has just been widely advertised, " weulAsay that great care has been taken during the past year te confine their issue te the lowest possible point, and that a very great reduction has been effected. They will endeavor te still further limit this privilege and te issue no free tickets ex cept where the same may absolutely sub serve the interests of the company." That seems te be a geed resolution and yet they may be issued where they will best subserve the interests of the company and greatly wrong the public interests and public morals. Fer instance we see that some of the judges of the supreme court, and in this state and their fam iliesare riding en free passes ever this railroad, which, from their use since Jan. 10, we presume have been reissued for the current year. If this is the case it is a proper question te be raised by the pub lic and the press, a very fitting one te be :isked at the stockholders' meeting, what interest of the company is subserv ed by giving a free pass te a judge of the supreme court and his family. It may be easily demonstrable that a very important interest is subserved by giving this valuable consideration te these who are made the arbiters in many important cases in which the Pennsylvania railroad company is a party. Put when the offi cers of the railroad company explain that this is hew they square the distribution of passes with the declarations of their report it will be in order for the people of the state te call en their judges and bid them answer hew they can explain their dubious position. m m The Telegraph War. The monopoly which the Western Union telegraph company has for many years succeeded in maintaining seems about te end, through the efforts of a strong combination of capitalists te se cure pasture in the rich field. The one party is just as selfish as the ether and neither has any solicitude for the inter ests of the public ; but in this competi tion the public are sure te reap the benefit of cheap telegraphing, and will therefore leek en with complacence at the war. The "Western Union is entitled te no sympathy since it has taken out of its business all it could get and has piled up the capital, en which it demands a dividend, by syste matically buying up every opposition project that get its heajd far enough above water te be formidable. There is a class of men who have grown rich by their many successful attempts te start companies for the only purpose of com pelling the monopoly te buy them out. The telegraph companies that have arisen only te be engulfed in the "Western Union at a large profit te their projectors may be numbered by the score ; and the consequence is that the purchasing company finds itself new with an immense capital, many times greater than the cost at which its lines can be reproduced, and forced te meet the competition of a new and vigorous or ganization which, as it is supported by men of means and influence, is strong enough te attempt the overthrew of the old company and will find greater profit in making the effort than in selling out out te it. The prospect seems fair that this time the competition with the old monopoly will be sustained, te the great advantage of the public. Delinquent Corporations. The Intelligencer was one of the first journals of the state te call atten tion te the fact that numerous corpora tions within its borders were escaping the payment of their taxes, either by their own criminal neglect te make proper returns te the auditing depart ment, or by the failure of that depart ment tp exercise its knowledge and its authority te compel from them payment of their everdues. One of the most fla grant of these was the famous case of the dissolving transportation companies, te recover a part of whose taxes the state had te pay a pair of attorneys a $19,000 fee, while its own attorney general took a bribe of $5,000 from the company inter ested, te which he allowed an abatement ' of $50,000 all of which would have been saved by proper efficiency in the auditor general's office. The present auditor general, Hen. "Win. P. Schell, entered upon his duties with a purpose te call the delinquents te account, and hew well he has succeeded may be inferred from the fact that in his annual report just issued, he says that en account of taxes overdue en Dec. 1, 1878, he collected $429,443.59. " In illustration of the abuses which suffered this enormous delinquency te accumulate, he says : It was ascertained that many corpora tions had escaped all taxation from the time of their organization, by a persistent neglect or refusal te register in this office as required by law. It was also ascertain ed that many corporations had managed te escape a large portion of their taxes by making partial or incorrect returns te this office ; also, that a large amount was lest through a very general misunderstanding of the laws by many banks, bankers, brokers, notaries public, cities and ether municipal authorities, theatres, registers and estates, in regard te celletcral inherit ance tax, township assessors, and in fact by nearly every branch of the revenue ser vice. In a general review of the whole field, the department became satisfied that iu many instances the plainest previsions of the law had been entirely disregarded, though many of these violations of the law had undoubtedly been unintentional. "Wk are pained te see the Examiner continue its cruel treatment of J. W. Jehnsen. Fer though we could rejoice at its conversion te such a degree as te tell the truth about Mr. Jehnsen's pro pensity when district attorney te multi ply indictments at $5 apiece, we cannot but believe that Mr. Jehnsen is honest in his proffer te get out of the way as a candidate for district attorney rather llliin iintK'rie flic. iuriiili'u rirrlit ir. II,..;.. ' ""' " " -" representation. Mr. .1. W. Jehnsen is a ' patriot if he does profit by multiplying indictments at $5 apiece. And being a patriot it is cruel of Mr. Iliestand, who is also a pHtriet, te lacerate his feelings in the mariner in which he does it, by in. sinuating that Mr. Jehnsen's patriotism is, as Mr. Jehnsen's great literary name sake pronounced it, the " last refuge of scoundrels." An examination of the list of " con tingent expenses " paid out of the state treasury te Chief Clerk of the Senate Themas B. Cochran last year shows that it took $7,478.10 te wash up the Senate chamber, furnish ice, wash the towels, refit the lieuteuaut governor's room and make the "sundry repairs and materials " required around that part of the capitol. It cost $90 te make the paste alone ; $22 for a new office chair for the lieutenant governor te rest upon after his wearying labors ; $15 apiece for two rocking chairs ; $2 for a looking glass for him te leek at himself in ; $100 for silk lambrequins ; $40 for a desk ; $84 for fixings net enumerated ; $150 for two easy chairs ; $99 te C. H. Bergner for six copies of Purden's Digest which anybody can buy for $75 and ether things en the same scale. Three men are paid $1,000 for "extra labor," and $471.08 for the expenses of wash and bath room. $2,24." are reported te have been paid out te women alone for scrub bing and cleaning the Senate chamber that would be about 40 women working every night of the session at 50 cents an evening. These astonishing figures are only samples of a choice let, te which we will endeavor te give future attention te show the people hew their servants squander their money at llarrisburg. PERSONAL.

They new read : " In awe and reverence we waits, for Thee te save the United States." The Kentucky congressman's mind seems te run toward pets. Jek Black burn keeps a monkey and Representatives Caul ism: and Wilms each have a beloved parrot. Governer Andrews, of Connecticut, is a thoroughly domesticated man. One of the reasons given for his net attending the dinner at Bosten en Saturday night, in honor of Governer Davis, of Maine, was that he could net reach his home again before Sunday. He has spent every bunday with ins family since his mar riage. The Sunday Transcript, of Phiadclphia, wants te promote the Republican chair man in this county ; it says : " The name of 1J. Frank Esiileman is being tossed about in political circles in connection with the succession te Colonel Frank C Iloetcn. If the party should be favored by the selection of Colonel Eshlenian, the majority would well no matter about figures ; let immense sullicc. " Theodere Themas, resigned his posi tion in the Cincinnati College of Music last week, after a bitter quarrel with Nichols, who has telegraphed Ven Bulow lluuinstcin aim Urahms, ellering each, iu the order named, the directorship. These facts have been kept from the Cincinnati papers through the efforts of friends who arc still trying te reconcile the opposing factions and who are anxious te keep Themas until a successor te the baton is found. "Rax" Tcckek surpassed himself last Saturday evening at the dinner given by the members of the ways and means com mittee te two of their number, Garfield and Gibsen, who are senators-elect. All the committeemen except Felten, Cenger and Phelps, attended, but no outsiders. The Speaker was invited, but no ether net belonging te the committee, and as he was entertaining Aleck Stephens at dinner at his own house he could net attend. Tucker who is inimitable in the narration of hu morous anecdotes, iu which he shows much dramatic talent, se excited the admiration of Kelley, that he exclaimed, perfectly car ried away by his enthusiasm : " I declare, Tucker, you arc as great a man as I am. I have heard all the comedians, but I never heard your equal." Dr. Olivek "Wendell Helmes wrote the ether day te the superintendent of the Cincinnati schoels: "I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Longfellow a few even ings since, and took the opportunity of telling him that my rhyming machinery was out of gear, or I would have sent some lines for the Cincinnati school celebration of his birthday. The truth is, I am busy with another kind of work, and it will never de te shift a barrel organ from one tune te another while it is playieg. It must get through ' Old Hundred' before it strikes up ' Hail te the Chief.' I de net mean that I am writing an epic, or a trag edy, or an ode, but that my stated duties and the burdens of an almost unmanage able correspondence are about as much as I am equal te." M. E.

The United States supreme court has decided that capital invested. in national banks cannot be assessed by the state au thorities at a higher rate than ether moneyed capital. The instructed delegates of the Repub lican national convention te date stand : Fer Grant, 132; for Edmund?, 10; for Blaine, 20 ; for Sherman, 2. This takes in New Yerk, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Indiana, and includes something less than one-fourth of the convention. The ancient gibe against the young lady who was only" Piscepal pious" is new matched by the story of the interesting stranger at camp-meeting, who replied te the usual question asked by a young apos tle of the emotional schoel: "My dear young friend, have you get religion?" "Oh ! no, indeed, thank you. I'm a Pres byterian." It occurs te the Natien that "side by side with the demand for ' a strong man ' in the presidency there has grown and is growing another demand, and one which has a larger future, for a man of stainless character, who keeps tjoed company, and believes in a government of law ; and it may get imperious enough te make such a candidate welcome, no matter from what party he comes. New is the time te think of these things." FOKOET-MK NOT. There grew in some neglected spot A tiny blue Ferget-me net. Se lone and fair.

The Londen Atlicnaum could net find much te commend in Ouida's last novel "Moths," but thought that "one has only te stumble across such a delightful Ouidaism as that reference te the ' beauty that was Athens' and the glory that was Reme's' one of many te recognize that Ouida does wisely and well, and will, while she lives, se write as te be worth reading." Yes, certainly, if the line had net been stolen almost entire from Edgar A. Pee. Newiieiie are there better Democrats than up around Norristown and they have se long felt the want of a geed daily party organ that we feel sure the Daily Register, which came out en Monday, has come te stay. It is a handsome, newsy and stiilly Democratic paper. The new venture is the child of the old weekly Register, and under the able mauagment of the publisher, Mr. Edwin K. Kneule, assisted by Mr. Ed. Davis, late of the Pottstown Ledger, it cannot de else but succeed. It will labor te preserve harmony, unity and honesty in the local organization and te promote the best interests of the party at large. The Louisville Courier Journal supposes a case : ' Suppose the Democrats nomi nate Mr. Speaker Randall for president He was a loyal man during the war. He served as a private in the ranks, and a letter of his, new en file in the war de partment, gave the loyalist here, Geerge 11. Themas, his first promotion. Mr. Randall has been nearly twenty years in Congress, a steady enemy of jobs and rings. In two contests for speaker he has beaten the extreme Southern wing of the Democratic party, and is opposed at this time by these of the Confederate brigadiers of whom Mr. Halstcad seems te be especi ally distrustful. New, suppose Grant be nominated at Chicago and Randall at Cincinnati, hew could the Commercial justify its support of the first and its op position te the second upon any grounds of reason in argument or probability in the facts of the two cases presented te it?" m m STATE ITEMS. Calvin A. Wells, the "wealthy ironmas irenmas ter of Pittsburgh, owns the Press. Jehn Dawsen was fatally crushed by a fall of rock in the Sweycr colliery at Wyoming. James McKenna, a house mover, while assisting in the removal of a large frame building at Pine Broek, N. J., yesterday, was crushed te death by the structure breaking away from its stanchions and falling upon him. Werk in the rail mill of the Allentown rolling mill company was shut down last evening by the managers en account of the demand by the employees for an advance often per cent. About two hundred men were thrown out of work. The llarrisburg police picked up an indi vidual, who said he was a French clergy man who arrived in this country last June, and has passed through a career of varied misfortunes, which wound up by his get ting drunk and insulting ladies in llarris burg. The Harrisburg people forwarded him te Lancaster. Christ church, Philadelphia, has voted 10 for sepcratien te 53 against. The congre gation of the chapel have decided that if a new minister is placed in charge in place of Dr. Hedge, they will net contribute anything towards his support. It is stated J the question of separation will be taken te the courts. Mary E. Legan, a peer woman of Mil- lerstewn, nursed a sick stranger through a long illness until he was able te be about again; and this without expectation of any pay, but prompted solely through goed-heartcdness and sympathy with his loneliness and misfortune. The man, who was Mr. Eugene Keefe, of Jamestown, N. Y., then went Seuth in hopes of recovering his health, but died there, leaving Mary Legan all he had $25,009. The late Dr. Wm. Rudder for years reo ree reo ter of St. Stephen's church, and one of the wealthiest Episcopal parishes of Philadel phia, died leaving nothing behind him for the maintenance of his wife. His widow was, prier te her marriage, a clerk in the postefficc, and after her husband's death she expressed her intention of re turning te that employment. The con gregation of St. Stephen's church, through their vestry, have induced her te relinquish this determination, and will create a fund out of which she will be provided for dur ng the balance of her life. It is rumored that the Standard oil com pany has determined te oust the present beard of directors of the Pennsylvania railroad company; that it has been at work for months gathering up proxies ; that agents have been at work in Europe getting proxies from the heavy English stockholders, while it is known that gen tlemen connected with the Standard have been doing the same thing in Philadel phia and vicinity. The present officers of the railroad were net aware of this move ment at first, but discovered it some weeks age, and since that time have been hard at work getting the stock they usual'y control. Hen. Samuel Lord, judge of the Fifth judicial district of Minnesota, died at his home in Manterville, that state, en the 19th of February. The deceased was well known by many citizens of Northwestern Pennsylvania and particularly the elder residents of the oil regions, where his youth and early manhood were spent, and also a portion of his later years, Mr. Lord returning te this state during the early days of the oil excitement. After acquir ing a handsome competency he again re moved te Minnesota. The large charges of Reformed pastors in Eastern Pennsylvania is a subject that is beginning te excite much interest. In the Lebanon classis there is one charge consisting of eight congregations, with 1,500 members, supporting one minister. Anether, of seven congregations, 1,450 members and one minister. These two charges have together 3,000 members and support two ministers. In the West, the classes of Iowa, Shelby and Northern Illi neis, together have 2,173 members and support 25 ministers. In the Barr-Rink magisterial election ceutcst in Philadelphia the judges di rected the ballet box of the division te be brought into court, in which was a discrepancy in the triplicate return sheet filed in the prothetary's office, which credits Rink with 196 votes, and the re turn sheet of votes and the tally sheet each, of which show 130 votes. The offi cers of the election of that division were ordered te remain in court, and the minori ty inspector of the division, Rebert Glenn, was ordered te produce the papers given him en the night of the election. After hearing testimony the court decided the alteration of the figures 13G te 196 had been fraudulent, and the certificate was awarded te Mr. Barr, the Democratic con testant. L'ATKIOT SNUBBED. J.

We had no idea that the Chicago convention in any way endangered your candidacy. Don't dis tress your sensitive soul en that subject. By all means don't let Tem Davis frighten you off the track. Don't change your course as te hew the county shall be repre sented at Chicago. It docs net net depend en your being a candidate for district at torney. It may net be very important te the people whether you arc district attor ney or net. but think of yourself. It was such a nice "plum," for three years, and the less of it for three years only adds te its prospective delicious delicieus Iiess. Rather than have you with draw, we would be willing te help you " en the question of representation." Be sides there cannot be tee many geed men running for geed ellices and in cheesing we always like te go for the "best man." Think of us before you withdraw. Rather call en us and we may help you start a "boom" for Jehnsen for district attor ney. We will sacrifice anything almost rather than have you " change '" or with draw. Don't you de it, either, Jehn. Just you tell Tem Davis and Adam Eber ly that if they expect te reach the office of district attorney they must reach it ever your " bloodless body.

TIIK CZAlt OFTHK RUSSIANS. Celebrating the Tiventy-IlUh Anniversary of His Kule. Yesterday the Czar saw the end of the twenty-fifth year of his rule, and the Rus sian court Official Messenger publishes a letter from the Emperor William, counter signed by Prince Bismarck, congratulat ing the Czar in terms of warm and earnest friendship en the twenty-fifth anniversary of his accession te the throne, and en his escape from injury by the recent explosion in the Winter Palace. The Emperor Wil liam expresses his gratification that the friendship which united their fathers has been maintained, and his confidence that it will continue unchanged te the cud of his life. St. Petersburg was gaily decorated, and the day observed as a general holiday. At ten o'clock vast crowds assembled before the Winter Palace. The troops massed iu the central quadrangle of the palace and immediate vicinity. The pregramme of the ceremonies, heretofore given, was ex ecuted. The Czar appeared en the balcony of the palace, where he remained twenty minutes, saluting the multitude, amid great enthusiasm. After the Czar had received the con gratulatiens of an enormous crowd at the palace he drove out in an open carriage and was loudly and continuously cheered in the crowded streets through which he passed. Up te evening no disturbance whatever occurred. Ne Faint Heart nor Die Easy. Alteena Sun.

It is quite out of sorts with the New Yerk Sun for its re cent exhibition of premature despondency. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. ITEMS FBOM SALISBURY TOWNSHIP. Tobacco Public Sale and Geed Dinn Pestilence Abated The Welsh Meuntlaaeers. Tobacco buyers were in our vicinity en Monday. Messrs. Diller & Rutter bought of Andrew and Buster Skiles their crop at 14 and 3. Alse, Sheafier Worst's crop at 16 and 8. Alex. Thompson, an aged and indus trious citizen of Salisbury, was found dead in bed en Sunday morning. He is sup posed te have died from apoplexy. Buyerstown has at last rid itself of the pestilential fever that has been its terror for the last few months, and its inhabit ants new feel greatly relieved as it was in deed a very distressed village, having buried seven persons within a few short months. Harry II. Kurtz and Jacob Mentzcr have both recovered from an attack of fever. Public sales continue almost daily. Mr. A. D. Amnion, of Caernarvon, formerly of Salisbury, had a sale'en Friday last. When dinner was served he was surprised te find G;J of his Salisbury friends ready te par take of his hospitality and they all did justice te the bounteous repast set before them. Farming utensils, hamess and stock all sold for very geed prices. Se in the cud he concluded that he had realized a very fair price for the feast given his friends. Our public schools will close with the present month, the school term here being 7 months. The protracted meeting at Millwood U. B. church closed last week.

Although we are situated en the very edge of the ever-noted Welsh Mountains, I am unable te recall even one instance of petty thieving during the whole winter, and in reality the mountain is net one- tenth as bad as many correspondents try te paint it.

Microscopy. The number of active members te which the Microscepical society has for the pres ent limited itself twenty-five was filled up by election of twenty new members at the first stated meeting last evening. A number of contributing members were also elected and this list is still open. We hope this privilege will be used by all our citi zens who have the means and the wish te assist in the establishment of a live scien tific organization. Contributing member ship entitles the holder te admission te the monthly conference meetings of the so ciety and te all entertainments given by it ; the cost is five dollars per annum.

Meanwhile a conference meeting is announced for the 16th inst., at which the microscope, the philosophy of its constitution, and the manner of its operation, will be explained by the president, Dr. Crumbaugh. The energy displayed by this new organization premises well for its future. Malicious Mischief. Last evening some of the tramps who are in the habit of bumming around the bark mill opened one of the hatchways and left it open. Between 7 and 8 o'clock, when it was quite dark, Richard Smith, one of the employees, while leaving the mill walked into the open hatchway and fell through, injuring himself quite severe ly, but breaking no bones.

A reporter of the Reading Timet and Dispatch has had a talk with Manager Mishler about the amusement season en the "Mishler circuit," and he has learned considerable in regard te it. Mr. Mishler plays shows in fifteen towns, all of which are in this state with the exception of Wil mington. Last season the town doing the best for entertainments was Lancaster, where the largest houses were drawn. Scranton was second en the list, with Wil mington third, Reading fourth, Norris town fifth, Harrisburg sixth, and Col umbia thirteenth. Se far this season Scrauten stands at the head of the list, with Reading second, Harrisburg third, Pottsville fourth. Wilmington fifth, Lancaster sixth, and Columbia fifteenth. It will be seen by tiiis that Lancaster has fallen back censide .-ably, while Reading is rapidly pushing te the front. There is no reason why Lancaster should net again head the list, and should the business' continue as large as it has been of late we will make an excellent showing at the end of the season. Within the past three weeks the following shows have been here, net all of which were under the management of Mr. Mishler, however, te very large audiences. Teny Denier, Buffalo Bill, Barney Macauley, Fanny Davenport, " Pirates of Penzance, " Mary Andersen and Annie Pixley. These of course are all popular shows, yet their business has been wonderful considering the fact that this is the Lenten season. The largest houses for Manager Mishler this season, as given by him te the reporter, are as fellows, Barney Macauley at Scran ton, 915 ; Macauley at Pottsville, $605 ; Mary Andersen, Lancaster, $814 ; Rice's Horrors, Wilmington, $900 ; Fanny Daven port, Easten, $003. Fanny Davenport, Reading, $Gle. The receipts for Robseu and Crane at Scrauten Christmas afternoon and evening were $1,303, and te Fanny Davenport belongs the honor of doing the largest two week's business ever the cir cuit this season. Mr. Mishler says that the only town en his circuit in which he notices a diminished attendance en account of Lent, is Potts ville. He has arranged for the appear ance of a number of companies en the circuit during the remainder of the season, among which are the following : F. C. Bangs, in "Jeseph Balsamo ;" Law rence Barrett ; Cellier's "Banker's Daugh ter" company; Nick Roberts's pantemine troupe ; Helman opera company ; and the company of the Chestnut Street theatre. Next year he will manage only the best companies, as he finds that is only a waste of money te play inferior ones. He says he is under many obligations te the news paper men of eastern Pennsylvania for their kind treatment of him. Monthly Tobacco Repert. The monthly report of the tobacco trade, issued March 1, by J. S. Gans's Sen & Ce., New Yerk, is at hand. The amount of Spanish tobacco en hand is put down at 30,870 bales, nearly all Havana. Transac tions in Kentucky tobacco feet up 3,000 hhds., of which 3,000 are for expert, chiefly te Spain and Italy receipts of new crop small. Prices for light Kentucky range from 4 te 12 cents, and for heavy from 4J te 14 cents. Frem Virginia, reports are encouraging, the market being active for old and new tobaccos, prices ranging from 3 cents for the commonest lugs te la cents for black wrappers. Maryland and Ohie are reported quiet, but holders are firm in their demands. Seed leaf transactions have been extremely dull in New Yerk. " Lack of assortments, together with the absence of nearly all our principal operators ( who are at the var ious places of production ), have combined te give our market a holi day appearance." Running lets of Ohie are being taken for Germany. " Fer con sumption Pennsylvania crop of 1878 is being slowly absorbed, and in the interior all low-priced lets have been taken out of packers hands. Activity prevails in 1879 crop all through the producing states." Sales for the month are reported at 3,873 cases, of which 1,330 cases were Pennsyl vania. Prices for the crop of 1878 are quoted at from 14 te 40 for New Eng land wrappers, and from 0 te 14 for sec onds and fillers. Pennsylvania is quoted at from 1G te 33 for wrappers ; 11 te 29 for asserted lets and from 9J te 10 for fillers. The expert of seed leaf since January 1st is 4,982 cases as against 1,813 cases te the same time last year. Advices from Ha vana are mere cheerful regarding the new crop. Trade has been light in manufac tured tobaccos. AIKY DALE AGAIN. The Ghost et the Organ Will net Down. Many of our readers no doubt, remem ber the trouble at Airy Dale school house, Penn twp., caused by a parlor organ being put into the school house by the patrons of the school and put out by the school directors, and finally thrown into an aban doned quarry or mine filled with water. As the directors were determined net te tolerate the organ, and the patrons equally determined te have it, the latter some time age made application te have erected an in dependent school district out of that part of Peny township in which Airy Dale school is located. A commission was appointed te report en the advisability of the new district and reported in favor of erecting a new district embracing about one-tenth of the area of Pcnn township. The old directors and some ether citizens entered a remons trance, and yesterday Alderman Barr was engaged in taking the depositions of the remenstrants. The burden of their objections appears te be that a large proportion of the wealthy men and heavy taxpayers of the township re side within the limits of the proposed new district, and that if the division is made, the support'ef the schools in the remain ing part of the township would require a heavier rate of taxation than is new paid, and that this would be burdensome te the poorer class of taxpapers. A Stelen Watch Recovered. Week before last while Rebert Fulford, of the "M'liss" company, who is the hus band of Miss Annie Pixley, and who im personates Juan Walters, the villain of the play, had a valuable geld watch taken from his vest which he left hanging in the green room of the Walnut street theatre, Philadelphia, where he was performing.
