TbeflClvll Tcuuro Act.
A special telagram to Forney’s Press
gives tho following account of tbe present
status of tho CiviljTenure Act:
Washington, March 30.
Tho Senate to-day agreed, after some de
bate, to the appointment of a couference
committee on the disagreement of the two
houses regarding the civil tenure act.
Messrs. Trumbull, Williams, and Grimes
were appointed on the part of the Senate.
The House committee has not yet been ap
pointed, but it is fair to presume that Gen
oral Butler, Judge Binghan, and some
prominent Democrat, perhaps Judge
Woodward of Pennsylvania, will be select
ed, as ithns been an invariable rule in that
body to have both parties represented on
such committees, as well as the bodies of
the disagreeing factions. It is, therefore,
probable that the result of the committee’s
consultation will be a dead-lock, as Messrs. 1
Grimes of the Senate, and Butler, and the
Democrat of the House, will never agree to
anything but a repeal, while Messrs. Trum
bull, Williams and Bingham will be equal
ly uncompromising in their rapport of the
Senate bllL Jltie prospect of- a speedy set
tlement ef the muddle not
very Encouraging. J 1
Another Horrible Harder-In P tollad el*
phia,
Joseph W. Smith, Janitor of the Hall at
Sixth and Gifard avenue, was found dead
last at the hall, under circumstan
ces which make it doubtful whether it' was
a suicide or a murder. When discovered
he was lying upon a large chest, with a
quilt wrapped around him and a four-bar
relled Sharp’s pistol close to the right
hand. Onlyione of the ban-fils had-been
discharged, and the ball had entered at the
-right temple, penetrating deep Into the
brain. Around the neck of the deceased
wash red sash, wrapped tightly three or
foun times about it, and over that a white
handkerchief tied tightly behind the neck,
partly covering the mouth. The feet were
fastened with a piece of bedcord, not both
together, bat the cord was tied around each
leg, and extended from one to the other.
The hands were tied together, much in
the same manner, except that there was a
play of abont nine inches, which first led to
the Impression that they bad been so tied
to admitofthe man shooting himself, Very
soon after tbe body had been found, the de
tective offieers were telegraphed for, and
they, with the Chief of Police and Lieuten
ant Jacoby, made a very thorough exami
nation. of the place. Close to the chest, up
on which deceased was lying, a bench had
been overturned, and his watch, and sev
eral dollars in small change were fonnd.
There was no appearance of a etruggle hav
ing taken place.
The cord tied around tho wrists and legs
was part of along line used at the hall, aud
the balance of it was onashelfoverthedoor
in tho Janitor’s office and bed-room. A
small tiu box, used as a contribution box
by a religious society which meets in the
hall, had apparently been forced open, bnt
that may have been done previously. In
tbe meeting room was a Liberty cap in an
unfinished state, and the deceased had evi
dently been sewing it during the afternoon,
as he made u remark to a friend that he had
to get one ready for a ball in the evening.
Late lust night Dr. Skapleigh made a
careful examinatiou of the* head and the
pistol shot wound ; also of the cords tied
aronnd the wrists and tbe legs, together
with tho sash and handkerchief around the
neck, but he said that it was not thorough
enough to enable him to determine to his
own satisfaction whether it was a murder }
or a suicide.
The manner in which the cords were tied
seems to robut the presumption of murder,
for tho reason that a murderer would not
have risked discovery by taking so .much
time to do what could have been done as
effectually much sooner. The fact of a pistol
having been used to take life is also against
the belief of murder. The janitor occupied
tho socond lloor, nnd the discharge of tho
weapon was heard on the street. It is un
accountable that any one intending to de
stroy life should have taken so much pains
to tie him before shooting him, and no
murderer would have tied him afterwards.
Tho report’of the pistol was heard at four
o’clock in tho ntlernoon, or a few minutes
boforo, and the dead body was not found
until between seven and eight. Deceased
was 28 years old, and was uumarried. Ho
had been janitor of the hall, with tho ex
ception oia short time ho was in tho army,
for nine years.
He was a temperate man, of good dispo
sition, and much liked by hisnequaintanees.
He was subject to epileptic fits, but had
not hud one for several months. It is not
known that he had any enemies, nor that
he had any trouble which might have led
him to commit suicide.
The docoased kept a stock of fancy dresses
to hire for balls and parties, and in tho
| morning it appears a young man called nud
1 hired a dress, and was to call in the after
i uoon to get it.
| During the afternoon, Mr. Smith loit the
hall and went to tho pawn broker's estab
lishment of Wolf and Bros, near by, wbero
he got a $5 note changed, nnd said some one
was waiting for him, Nothing was then
heard of him until the hall was onterc-d iu
tho evening, when lie was found lying as
discovered. Smith slept in th 6 ante-room
of the hall, in which tho contents of a largo
trunk were found scattered about the fioor.
A further investigation of the affair will
lie made to-day, and it may throw some
light upon the mysterj’.
Dr. Shapleigh has since made a post
mortem examination of llio body, and it
resulted in satisfying him fully that a mur
der had* been committed. Ho discovered
murks of powder on the back of tho right
hand, bruises behind tho left ear, a largo
bruiso on tho forehead, and that tho pistol
ball which had ontered tiie right temple,
had passed directly through Llio bruin to tho
left temple, and lodged in tho bone. From
blood marks and spots found in tbo anto
room, the doctor arrives at tho conclusion
Unit the murder was committed tiiere nnd
the body carried lo the hall, wbero it was
found, to prevent discovery of the murder
if any one entered before the assassins left.
Tho detective polico, under Chief Enue,
continued their investigations yesterday,
ami thej’ have now no doubt that Mr.
Smith was murdered.
Almost every circumstanco which has
since been brought to light has;.tended to
confirm llio theory of murder.
.Since Friday last, when testimony was
heard by the Coroner’s jury in relation to
tho mysterious death of Joseph \V. Smith,
janitor of Girard Hall, no developments
have been made calculated to throw light
upon the affair. It was ascertained that the
pistol which was found at the side of the
deceased was purchased by him, a few days
previous to tho killing, at a shop in the
lower part of the city. He had first bought
a Dorringer, but concluded afterwards to
exchange it for a small sized four-barreled
Sharp’s pistol. Wo learn that some im
portant witnesses kuvo been withheld for a
luture examination before tho Coroner,
who will show that Smith bad reason Lo
fear an attack, nnd that he had tho pistol in
his pocket on the afternoon of the murder.
The last theory in respect to the use ot the
pistol is, that after Smith had been tied, he
succeeded in freeing his hands sufficiently
to get tbo pistol from his pocket, and that
then it was snatched from him anil dis
charged, at his head.
Public Grants,
It is rumored that impecunious members
of the eight or ten different Grant duns in
Scotland are coming by the ship-load to
this country to fill the subordinate positions
in the custom-houses, post-oflices, depart
ments, and bureaus of tho United States.
The glad news has gone abroad that all tbe
Dents, all the Caseys, all tbe Simpsons, ull
the Sharpes ; all the relatives, near and re
mote, of tbe Grants, Dents, Caseys, Simp
sons, and Sharpes; and all tho ‘‘old
friends” of all these families, have been
provided for. Consequently, it is under
stood that the General intends to full back
upon tho origiual Grants for fresh supplies,
and so the Scotch Grants are scratching
around, for means to pay their passage to
America. Weadvisethein to bo in no haste
about it. Covington, Kentucky, has just
boon surprised by tho advent of one B. F.
Winans, who arrived from ‘ Clermont
county, expressly to lake charge of tho
Covington Post-office.' Wonder ceased
when it was discovered that Winans had
married a niece of General Grant. So, in
addition to tho Caseys, Cramers, Simpsons,

Janies Harper, the senior partner of tho
well-known Now York book publishing
firm, whose death on March 27th, 1869, iu
consequence of injuries receive by being
thrown out of a carriage, was
born at Nowlown, Long Island, N. Y„ in
17‘J3. Ilia father was a respectable farmer
with whom lie remained until the age of
10, receiving the ordinary ootnmoffisahool
education of the period, in ISII, *Jumes
Harper and Ins brother John went to tho
city of New'York, and apprenticed to the
business of printing. luushortliuieboth tho
young men became excellent compositors,
and on tho expiration of their apprentice
ship, by n steady course of sobriety, eco
nomy und hard work, had acquired a
small capi Lai. With these scanty means, in
181(1, the two brothers started a printing es
tablishment in New York city, tinder tbe
name of J. it J. Harper. The busiuess of
the Harpers was confined solely topriniug
pamphlets and books ordered by booksel
lers, and tbe type-setting and presswork
was principally performed by the two young
men. Wesley and Fletcher Harper were
then apprenticed to the firm, which ra
pidly came into public notice, nnd soon
built up a large und prosperous business.
In 1522, Wesley Harper was admitted to
the partnership, which adopted the tiamo of
Harper Brothers. Fletcher Harper subse
quently bocamo a member of this eminent
publishing house whose reputation has ex
tended over every country where the Eng
lish language is spoken. James Harper at
one time took a decidedly active part in
politics, and in 1844 was elected Muyor of
New York. In 1845, he retired from public
life, and after that time devoted his undi
vided care and attention to tbe supervision
of thelpublishing house of Harper Brothers.
Although seventy-four years of age, James
Harper remained in active business life un
til tho day of the accident which has;termi
nated his existence. Ho enjoyed robust
health, and exhibited the mental activity of
a much younger man. Personally ho was
a high-toned gentleman, generous und char
itable, a firm friend and warm-hearted so
ciable companion. The announcement of
his doath will be received with deep regret
by a wide circle of friends.
A Radical Tblef.
The Treasury Department is in receipt of
information that the United States Marshal
for Georgia has absconded with one hun
dred thousand dollars of public money. It
appears that he had collected the money as
fees of his office, instead of depositing
it to the credit of t® Government, put it in
his own pocket. He has fled the country,
and the general impression is that he has
gone to Cuba with his plunder. Efforts
will be made by the proper Authorities to
ferret him out, with a view, if possible, to
recover some of the money.
Twitchell,
Father Abraham concludes an article on
Twitchell, thus:
In regard to this particular case of
Twitchell, we cannot and do not say that
he is innocent, but, we do say, that we can
not feel satisfied as to his guilt. We have,
what we consider, a reasonable doubt, and
until this doubt is removed we cannot feel
that the right man is going to be hung in
Philadelphia on the Bth of April next.

Thayer-Greenbankodnteist terminated their
mflwringMypwtwrtlay xri*h « ripristonaoTrttnr
; ly absurd, thafcpartlaan malice will fairly
overleap itself In this vijudicial proceeding.
Judge Greenbank bad been elected an
Associate Law Judge of the District Court
of Philadelphia by one hundred and
fwentyifive'majority; the testimony be*
before the Committee in regard to "the
legal votes cast" increased his majority
to two hundred and nineteen; the radi
cals on the Committee admit that
Greenbank’s majority was an increased
one. For political purposes, the major
ity have deliberately thrown out from
the count five large divisions of the
city giving a Democratic majority of 1900
votes, and have thereby disfranchised three
thousand honest voters of both parties,
representing a population of about twenty
thousand people. Heretofore no court has
been willing to disfranchise a district of
voters; the fair plan was to show alleged
irregularities at a poll, and then reqoire
the contestant to call his voters. In the I
present case about sixty illegal votes were !
shown to have been cast for somebody, and ]
although no attempt was made to prove I
that they were cast for Greenbank, the |
oommittee guess that they were so cast {
and wickedly use that guess as a pre- {
text for excluding these divisions from
the conrt. There was no proof that the
election officers knew of any illegal
voting. The eh ction officers proved before
the committee that they had required ev
ery unassessed voter to duly prove his
qualifications before voting. The contest
ant did not attempt to show the contrary
thereof; he produced no window lists used
at the election, although these were open
for examination, and could have been pie
sented to the committee lu the first weeko
i he“ investigation. Under these circum
stances no court would inquire further in
regard to the vote. No attempt was made
to show thatOreenbank received more than j
four illegal votes; the incumbent showed ]
by positive and undoubted witnesses that
one hundred and fifty illegal votes had
been polled in other divisions for Thayer.
A report based on theso facts would not
have suited the men who take this and
other opportunities to rob the people of
their rights. Men npon this committee,
who before stood high In public confidence,
have prostituted Justice in her own courts,
by throwing ont whole divisions,for the pur
pose of figuring up a majority large enough
to overcome that by which the Democratic
mayor and other officers were elected in
Philadelphia last fall. The shot will fall
short of the mark. Tbo municipal con
tests ure before judges there, who know and
will honestly interpret the law. If uny
remedy exist 3 lor Judge Greenbank in an
appeal to the courts, we hope that these in*
iquitousproceedings may be reviewed and
the unjust report declared to bo mere waste
pkper. The Kadieal majority in the Legis- <
laturo laugh at the crieß of the people.
There was one honeatltepublican upon this

British Taxation,
Nearly the whole revenue of tho British
empire from customs is derived from seven
urtlcles, and ninety-six and a half per cent,
of the revenue from excise comes from spir
its, malt and licenses: The figures for cus

The British inconio tax is a little more
than two per ceut., but yields, in gold, just
about as much as ours; and the whole rev*
onue of the kingdom is considerably in ex
cess of that of the United States, although
wo tax some hundreds of articles where
Groat Brltuin taxes one. Yet the resources
of the two countries nro net practically very
different in amount.
England has tried both plans; first, that
which we follow, of adjusting universal
taxes so ns to protect and help everything ;
ami .secondly, that of selecting u few arti
cles to tax, solely for revenue purposes. By
the latter plan she now collects more rev
enue, more cheaply, and with incomparably
less pressure on the people, than she over
could by the former.— Free Trade League.

Barn Burned.— The barn, belonging to
Capt. A. D. liockafellow, situated ;ou the
Millersville turnpike, in the Eighth\VardJ
near the city limits was entirely destroyed
by fire on Sunday afternoon between 3 und
4 o'clock. Tho barn has jiii.t been built
and contained a quantity oi' bay and straw
which was destroyed. The horse, wagon,
harness, and some other articles of value,
which were in the barn, when the lire oc
curred, wero saved. There was no insur
ance upon tho building or its contents and
the loss is estimated at about 81,000. All
the l-’ire Companies were promptly at
the sceno of the lire with their appar
atus, but owing to tho distance or the
building from a water plug, they could do
nothing towards extinguishing the flames.
The lire was undoubtedly the work of
an incendiary. A negro boy who lives with
Capt. Kockafellow, states that just previous
to the breaking out of the fire he saw a boy
named Edmund Rice, run away from the
barn. This suspicious conduct on tho part
of Rico led to liis arrest, and he was on
Monday, in default of $5OO bail, committed
by the Mayor for a further hearing, which
wbiehj took place yesterday morning at 9
o’clock,ami resulted in his being discharged
ho having proved an alibi.

Cane Presentation. —The Reading
Tone* states that on Saturday evening last
the numerous friends ofMr. Alfred Sander
son, late editor of the Reading Gazette and
Democrat, met at Mtennerchor Hall, that
city, and expressed their appreciation of
his worth by presenting him with a beauti
ful cane. The attendance was quite large,
and tho hall was beautifully fitted up with
flags and other emblems, giving the affair
quite an imposing appearance. Eloquent
and appropriate remarks upon the regretted

Hon. J. Lawrenco Getz, Hon. iliester Cly
mer, Daniel E/mentrout, Esq., Louis

The cane is a most beautiful one, of ebony
tipped with stiver, with a very haudsomely
carved and ornamented gold head, upon
which is tho following inscription: “Pre

The Hebrew Passover.—The Passover
of the Hebrews was begun on last Fri
day evening, and was celebrated by
the people of that faith in commemoration
of the escape of tbe Israelites in Egypt,
when the angel of the Lord passed <sVer the
land and smote the first born in every boose,
the lintels nnd door-posts of which were
not sprinkled with the blood of the Paschal
Lamb. The observance of the Passover
therefore originated about the time of the
escape from bondage of the Jewish people,
and it has iron! that time been faithfully
observed by them. During the Passover
only unleavened bread is made use of by
the Jews, and interesting ceremonies of a
character suitable to the occasion, which is
one of rejoicing, take place in their Syna
gogues. Tbe Passover continues for the
term of eight days, and tho use of the un
leavened bread by the Israelites is sym
bolical of the fact that in their hurried ex
odus from Egypt they did not have time to
prepare kneaded bread, but were obliged
to subsist on that which was unleavened.
Easter Sunday is a movable feast, being
the first Sunday after tho full moon, which
happens upon or next after tbe twenty-first
<lkv of March, the vernal equinox ; the pe
riod during which it may occur extends
therefore from March 22d to April 25th—
thirty-five days. From this feast—the
Christian Passover—are calculated all tho
other movable feasts, as well as the fasts,
obsorved by Christians. In ancient times
it was customary at Easter to give the chil
dren red-colored Easter eggs ; tho eggß be
ing a symbol of resurrection, and the color
indicating the blood of Christ as tho ground
of tho resurrection and a new life. It is
from this that the custom of having eggs
on Easter, at the present lime, is derived.
Isi tort ant to Grocers.—To prevent
grocers throughout the country from got
ting into trouble through inattention or
ignorance of tbeir obligations under the
revenuo laws, with respect to articles which
require to be stamped, we would remind
them that tbe following articles are liable
to stamp duty, whother imported or of
home manufacture: Sardines, anchovies,
prepared mustard, syrups m bottles, jams,
jellies, moat and fish sauces of different
kinds, colognes and cosmetics. Sardines,
anchovies, sauces, syrups, prepared mus
tard, jams and jellies are subject to stamp
according to tho weight of each package ; a
one cent stamp if package does not exceed
two pounds in weigbt, and a stamp of an
additional cent for every pound or fraction
of a pound in excess of two pounds in
weight. The ponalty for each offense is
fifty dollars. Dealers should bear this in
mind, and if they nre not posted, should
send and get a copy of the internal revenue
regulations, thus saving them much trouble
and expense,
New Patent.—Julius Bodon, of Colum
bia, Pa., has received letters patent for a
new and useful improved Automatic Boiler
Feeder, dated March 23d, 1869. The nature
of this invention consists in making the ex
pensive property of metals available in
opening a valve to admit water to a boiler,
when it sinks to a certain level, and shat
off again after sufficient water has been ad
mitted, operating with certainty and effici
ency, governed by the amount of water
within the boiler, without the attention of
the engineer. Obtained through tho agency
of J. Stauffer, of this city.
Revival at Landisvit.le.—A corres
pondent of the Church Advocate states that
•‘the recent protracted meeting at that
place has resulted in 30 conversions, the
same number of accessions, and 25 bap
tisms. A large Sunday School has also
been organized. The protracted meeting
continual about five weeks, and was held
by Elder T. Still, who was assisted in his
work chiefly by Brother J. Strawbridge.
Elders J. Stamm, O. H. Betts, C. H. For
ney and A. H. Long preached several ser
mons, while Brothers Minich, Miller and
others rendered good assistance,”
Thr Laity Question.—The Methodist
Episcopal Church of the United Staies, it is
announced, will, next June, decide the
question whether the laity shall hereafter
be admitted as delegates to the conferences.
All the members of the church, male and
female, will vote; and in order toascertain,
in an informal way, tbe views of the de
nomination on the subject, a series of mass
meetings of friends or the change will be
held throughout the country.
Worth Trying —An exchange says a
piece of candle may be made to bum all

Interesting Religious Exercises.—
On Sunday Morning the churches were
crowded with church-goers, and the festival
of Easter was celebrated with unusual de
votion.
At St. Mary’s Catholic church a sermon
was preached appropriate to the occasion by
Rev. Father McDermott one of the most
• gifted of the members of the Priesthood.—
The subject was the Divinity of Christ and
His Resurrection. The arguments used
were convincing and strong, and the ser
mon was delivered in an agreeable and im
pressive manner. The Altar waa appro
priately and beautifully decorated, and the
singing by the Choir was good. Mass was
celebrated by Rev. Father Riley.
lu the evening at the M. E. Church, in
Duke street, hev. Mr. Gray delivered his
last sermon to a largo audience, who lis
tened to the remarks of the eloquent divine
with respect and attention. During his
i short olay of seven mouths in thiscity, Mr.
I Gray has greatly endeared himself to his
congregation l*y Ills eloquence, ami by the
devoliou lio Ims ever ummftKted in ad
vancing the spiritual interest* of the church.
His sermons are very able, and his last one
fully equalled any of those preceding it, in
respect to ability and interest. At the con
clusion of the sermon a farewell hymn was
nog by the Choir, which numbers several
hue voices among its amateurs. Mr. Gray
then spoke a few words expressive of bis
attachment to the congregation, his regrets
at leaving them, and his hopes for their
future hnppiness. We learn that Mr. Gray
goes from Lancaster to Allegheny City,
where the kind wishes of his entire congre
gation accompany him.
iMPonTANTTo Brewers.—Sections for
ty-eight and fifty one of the internal reve
nue law stipulate that each barrel must
contain thirty one-gallons. It also stipu
lates the marking of casks, which brewers
are required to mark, or cause to be mark
ed, upou each hogshead, barrel, keg or
smaller vessel, the name of the person, Urm
or corporation manufacturing beer, a viola
tion of which would be guilty of an inten
tional evasion of the law, the penalty for
which is prescribed in section lifiv-ono of
the iuternul revenue law.*
Too P.io.—Two young men named J.
M. and S. , recently bought a
mammoth chestnut treo growing ou the
farm of Levi Havorstick, in Manor town
ship. The young men boasted that they
could cut the tree up in one day, and ac
cordingly early In the morning commenced
operations; but they found that the tree
was too big, and before night were obliged
to desist from their labor, and finally re
linquished their undertaking in disgust.
Our county is famous for Dig chestnut
trees.
Alleged Outrage. —The Express says
that a dastardly outrage occurred a short
time ago at a public sale near Lincoln, in
Epbratu towmship. A number of young
men who were at the salo and who were
somewhat exhilarated by the free use of li
quor, caused much annoyance by theirnoise
and rollicking conduct. A Mr. Gibbie, a
preaoher of U«u Dunkard denomination, re
monstrated with them, requesting them to
be quiet or leave the house. The men then
turned on tho reverend gentleman and bore
him down on thefioor several times. After
wards iwj hoisted him up, striking his
head against the ceiling. Immediately after
Lhe occurrence Mr. Gibbie commenced ex
pectorating blood, and in a few days after
ward died, from the eirecta, it Is supposed
of the treatment received at the hands of
these men. '
Set on Fire.— The Maricilian says that
0. M. Hanlen’s cooper shop, in tho rear of
tho First National Bank, was set on Fire

expected it would ignite the surrounding
board pilesand old frame buildings and sta
bles, and thus reach the bank, St. John
House and residence of Henry Musselmun.
Tho night was fortunately a rainy one and
the rags, saturated with coal oil, would not
burn. A bundle of rags so saturated was
found pushed under the eaves of tho roof.
Cruelty to Animals.— The following is
a synopsis of the act recently passed bv the
.State Legislature for* the prevention of
cruelty to animals:
The act extends over tho whole State, and
provides for the punishment of any porsou
who shall wantonly or cruelly ill-treat,
beat or otherwise abuse any animal whether
belonging to himsolf or to another, or wbo
shall in any way bo concerned in fighting
or baiting any bull, bear, dog, cock or other
creature. The abandonment in any public
place of any maimed, sick, iufirm or dis
abled creature is also to be punished. The
penalty for disobeying the luw is, for the
first olfence, a line not loss than twenty
dollars, and lor tho second, and every
subsequent otlence, not less than twenty
nor rnoro than fifty dollars. The informer
is made a competent witness, and receives
one half of the fine, and the county where
the otlence may be committed the other half.
The proceedings are summary, and the of
fender, in default of payment the fine and
costs, can be committed to the county prison
until discharged by due course of law,
which amounts to three months required
under the insolvent laws. When the fine
exceeds ten dollars tho defendant may ap- ;
peal to the court of quarter sessions, where
the offence is to be prosecuted as a misde
meanor. In aggravated cases, the defend
ant may be bound over for trial at the quar
ter sessions, where, on conviction, he is
liable to a fine and imprisonment not ex
ceeding one year, or to both. The necessary
expenses of taking charge of animals trans
ported in an inhuman manner, orofremov
ing and destroying disabled creatures can
be recovered from the owner in a suit at
law.
Ork Mines Leased*—Mr. H. H. Heise
leased, a few days ago, an extensive ore
mine, lately discovered on the farm of
Marlin Dambach, about one mile South
east of Columbia. On Wednesday, the
mine was sub-leased to Henry M. Watts
& Sons, of Marietta who intend operating
on an extensive scale, at once. The Messrs.
Watts think they will be able in mine at
least ten or fifteen thousand tons per
annum. —Columbia Spy.

Who Robs the Taxpayers.— The Ex
press comes up manfully to the work of
defending Alderman Wiley and Constable
Baker, iu their raidß upon the County
Treasury ; but do not attempt to deny the
allegations made in our local artiole of
Wednesday evening. But thesetwooffloials
of the Second Ward are •* loyal ” and go
their death for the nigger—and that is a
virtue in the eyes of our neighbor which
oovera a multitude of transgressions. The
Express does not deny that in the short
period of about three mouths these worthies
drew pay for 61# vagrants, the costs of
to $454.40, nearly
the whole amount received by the Mayor
and the thirteen police officers In the employ
of the city. Nor does It deny that, in many
cases after the Mayor had discharged va
grants, which he did in every instance
where tb*y promised to leave town imme
diately, iu order to save expense to the
County, this man Baker re-arrested them
within a square or two of the Mayor’s office,
as they were going out of town, took them
before Alderman Wiley and had them com
mitted to prison for a few days—thus dou
bling the expense on the CouDty. Nor does
the Express deny that, in many cases, the
commitment was made out by the Aider
man, handed to the vagrants, and they
carried K themselves to the prison—the
Constable never seeing them at all, but
nevertheless pocketing the fees, the e&me os
If he had rendered the service.
The Express also finds fault because the
Mayor and thirteen Policemen,’.under the
new law committed thirteen vagrants to
Prison in one day; but neglects to state
that Alderman Wiley and Constable Baker
committed as high as twenty in one day;
and it was a very common thing for them
uuder the old law, us it is under the new, to
send up from Uvclve to one day ;
ami for this they get double tho fees allow
ed to the Mayor and City Constables. Wo
venture another assertion, which the Ex
press will hard Ij’ deuy, and that is,—since
the first of last November until tho present
time, there wore five times as many va
grants committed to Prison by tho above
mentioned Alderman and Constable, as
there were by the Mayor and his whole po
lice force put together ; and yet these are
the two pure and immaculate worthies who
aro not depleting the public treasury under
the color oflaw ! Will tho Express tell us
how much the county had to pay for the
maintenance of theso Hundreds of vngrants
committed to Prison by Wiley and Baker?
Under the new Act of Assembly, which
was concocted by the said Alderman and
Coustable, for the purpose of monopolizing
the whole vagrant business to themselves,
they get full fees from the county, whether
the vagrauts are committed or discharged ;
whilst tho Mayor and City Constables get
but half fees, and that only when the va
grants are committed to Prison. Under
such a law, we should like to know who
will draw* most out of the County Treasury,
—the Mayor and his Police force, or the
doughty Alderman and his man Friday?
Baptism and Confirmation,— On Paliii
Sunday aftoruoon the Sacrament of Holy
Baptism was administered by Bishop Big
ler to two young ladies, and the rite of con
firmation to three. On Muundny Thurs
day evening four ladies wero baptised; ’five
ladies and two gentlemen were confirmed,
and two received on certificate. After these
impressive services tho Sacrament of the
Lord’s Sapper was administered to 147 per
sons 1 y the Bishop, assisted by his son,
Rev. wm. H. Bigler, Professor in the Mora
vian College ana Theological Seminary at
Bethlehem.
Passover Bread.— We have received
from Mrs. Abraham Hirsh a sample of the
unleavened bread, which the Jews eat dur
ing the eight days which are kept in com
memoration of the Passover. It consists
of thin flat cakes, made of fine wheat Hour,
punctured ail over and baked much as
crackers art*. It is prepared with great care
in large quantities by parties in the princi
pal cities, and is shipped to all parts of the
country where Jews reside. It is vory
pleasant to the taste, and it can be no great
hardship to be confined to Ibis kind of
bioad for a brief period.
A Mammoth Tree.— Mr.'William Gun
gle, of Ephrata township, recently cut a
poplar treo which measured five feet across
the stump. The longth of tho treo was 150
feot, and tho body of tho treo mados saw
logs, each I'd feet long. These logs were
taken to J. R. Mcssrior it Co’s, saw mill,
(formerly called tlio Seven Day Baptist
Mill,) where lho3 r wore sawed into 3,078
feet of lumber. Tho largo limbs of the tree
when cut up made between 5 and 0 cords
of wood. This is hard to beat ; and Ephra
ta township is for the present ahead in the
matter of raising the biggest treo !
Local Legislation.— A correspondent
of the Examiner, at Harrisburg, furnishes
