Thursday Morning, January 18, 1879. rrr — THE anxiety of the republican mem bers of the Teller committee to get to New Orleans is explained. With 820,000 to throw broadcast upon ima ginative negroes a new crop of per il! ry comes to the surface, and upon it, as it ripens, the stalwarts hope to thrive. THE Washington newspaper cor respondents say that Gen. Burnsidc is the most elegantly dressed man in the ' I'nited States Senate, but the General 1 should nevertheless understand that I fine clothes are a poor substitute for brains. Elegant apparel will never i pass his new armv bill, which, to judge from present indications, seems at best to be in a bad wav. TUB editor of ihe Phtlipsburg Journal announce* that the CKMTRK DEMOCRAT, the new Journal just Started t Bellefonte, is to l> "the organ of Curtin "Wallace and McClure." How is thai, Messrs. Nbugert A: Forster ? Is it true, or is the I'hilipsburgor only joking.— Clearfield Re publican. The only reply that Messrs. Shugcrt & Forster can make to brother Good lander is that t'hc Philipsburger must have been joking. At least Messrs. Slnigert Fors'er will do the Philips burger the honor ro b-Tcvc that he ! would not wilfully publ-'h an untruth. ONCE FOR ALL, we desire to state | distinctly and unequivocally that the 1 CENTRE I)F.NOCRAT belongs oxelu sivcly to Shugcrt and Forster. The paper is not, and will not lie the special organ of any man. If the edi tors are fortunate enough to have the friendship of Senator Wallace and Ex- Governor Curtin, they nrc thankful for it, as they will lie for the friend ship of all other leading and influen tial democrats in the State of Penn sylvania, OUR brother of the Watchman is annoyed because we did not murder Commissioners Gregg and Mingle, I and all connected with the First Na tional Bank, before we knew of their offence. While we may not feel dis- i posed to commit the deed ourselves we will willingly stand by and hold his garments while he stones Stephen. Wo do not think, however, the act of ; the commissioners complained of, how- 1 ever it may have been intended, can ! do any great harm, because, by the Watchman t showing, it is simply null and void. THF. Washington Poet says, thnt the ( witnesses whom Mr. Blaine desired Mr. Teller to call nrc rising up with wonderful alacrity to snv that they know nothing of the alleged fraud or intimidation. Mr. Blaine named three j persons in South Carolina a Mr. , Campbell, Mr. Memminger, formerly an officer in the Confederate treasury. Mr. Campbell sap he has nothing to communicate thnt will help the cause. Mr. Memminger writes to say that Mr. Blaine is the victim of misplaced confidence, as he was in the mountains during the summer and knows no more of the election than Mr. Blaine does. Mackcy is a man whoso testi mony could be impeached by the oath of almost every reputable citizen in the Charleston district, where he ran for Congress and was defeated. Mr. Blaine will have to try again. BROTHER KISSLOE, of the Clinltm j Republican, is at perfect liberty to air { his nimble wit at our expense whenever j the spirit moves him to do so. We shall not object, and do not write now for the purpose of finding fault with { the interpolations which he injected j into the "Introductory" that appeared . in our first number. It doubtless j seemed a very funny performance—at 1 least, to Brother Kinsloe—and we are I content that he should enjoy it We ; merely wish, however, to correct I Brother Kinsloe upon one point When he was informed that Gov. Cur tin furnished the capital to start the CENTRE DEMOCRAT, the information 1 came from a very bad source, for there j is not one word of truth in it We ought to know, and we trust Brother Kinsloe will accept our "say so" as, conclusive of the matter. For the compliments aud kind wishes with which Brother Kinsloe concluded his notice of the CENTRE DEMOCRAT we return him our sincere and giatcful thanks. Governor Hnrtru lift's Hid for HIP Mer lin Mission. As soon as the announcement was made, of the death of Bayard Taylor, our minister to the German empire, every one looked around to see if he could select a man worthy to ho his successor. Our country haviug been lost represented at the court of the Kaiser by one of her most learned scholars, experienced travellers, and j famous authors, by a man who was at the same time a finished poet und an erudite philosopher, nil agreed that his successor should possess as many of his capacities and accomplish men ts as possible. No one expected that his place could l>e fully supplied, hut all felt that there should he the least pos sible coutrust between him ami his im mediate successor, in order that our country's reputation might he main tained The name of Governor Hart ranft having been mentioned in con nection with this appointment, when he came to prepare his last message, he was determined to demonstrate his qualifications to lie the successor of Bayard Taylor. Ilencc this sentence: i '■We aro still in the gray of bard liinei, and the giant indu*lri<w of coal and iron aro yi-t slumbering restlessly j but, every where, the ellr of awakening conlldence be token* tho beginning of a more pro*|>erou* day.'' i While some may think the expres sion "the gray of hard times" is not ac | cording to the common use of our peo ple, as v<f often hear of the "gray of the morning," aud never of the "gray of the night," und that "ehailow" would hnvc been n 1 letter trope than "gray," still we insist the expression*?.* very fine; besides it is original; it is entirely new; no one else ever used it. The next idea is truly practical: "tho giant industries of coal aud iron" "slumber ing restlessly." Hook at the picture— the twin giants still asleep in the trun dle lied prepared by mother nature, yet restless from indigestion or colic, while the third giant "confidence" is yawning and rubbing his eyes, and pre paring to run and sport in the sunlight of better days. This is truly lieautiful, and the miud that could create so po etic a picture is worthy to fill the place once occupies! by the youthful nuthor of "Ximiua." But poetry alone will not qualify one for the Germau mission. Whoever rep resents the great American republic at Berlin should lie competent to discuss all social theories with Bisinark, and wallf with the savatis of their universi ties through the labyrinths and mysti cisinsof German philosophy. Our poet Governor has demonstrated his fitness in this respect also, as witness the fol lowing clear and philosophic state ment : "I thnll not debate the natural right* of individual* in the parental relations, *ince I am. for my own part, firmly persuaded that the social right* of adult* end with the right to illimiuthly propagate beggar* and criminal*, and *top short of the priv ilege to educate them." Let President Hayes send the poet and philosopher of Montgomery to fill the place made vacant by the death of the poet and philosopher of Kciinctt. CONSIDERABLE excitement ho* Wn created in financial circles over the discovery that under the provisions of an act of the Pennsylvania legislature, passed in 18*>0, the stockholders of the Philadelphia and Heading railroad company arc made individually liable for the debts of the company. Mr. Oowan, the President of the coni|mny, has published a letter in the Philadel phia newspapers in which he denies i the liability of the shareholders on the | ground that the legislature had no power to pass an act that in any way I altered or impaired the contract that ■ previously existed between the share i holders and the company, and there- S fore the act of 18.50 is to he treated as i a nullity. On the other hand, lawyers ; who have examined the matter dis agree with Mr. Gowan, and say that | the act is valid. The rpiestion will be j a nice one for the courts to decide, and | in the meantime it Is not probable that j operations in Heading stock will be very extensive. E. V. SM ALLEY has gone to New (>r)eao to act as cor re* | wildcat of a republican newspaper during the in* I veatigntion of the Teller sub-committae ; into the political affairs of Louisiana, Smalley has figured as a southern cor , respondent heretofore, and while act ing n that capacity flooded the north with such monstrous Munchausenisms in regard to southern politics that the public will now IMS prepared to take whatever he may have to say cum I grano tali*. £„£ -.iV ■■ ! -'si; A Hail Iteeommendiitlon. Tiiere is, therefore, no good reason why the Legislature should not permit the •Sinking Fund Commissioners to divert nil thst they may tlml necessary to thoge..rul fund, sfter thus fulfilling the provision of the Constitution. And, Indeed, there does not seem to bo any serious objection to passing a general law giving the sinking fund Commissioners authority, nfter pay ing the interest on the public debt, and redeeming the principal required by the Constitution, to divert the balance of the revenue which would otherwise go into the sinking fund by legislation, to the payment of the debt or to general expenses, us the exigences of the Stale's finances inay re-• quire. The present rigid method is very inconvonicot, especially in times when the revenues naturally decrease, obliging the Commissioners to redeem the loans of the Commonwealth, when legitimate claims presented at the counter of the general Treasury have to be put off. • | The above taken from the recent message of Gov. Hurtranfl is among the recommendations which ought not 'to Ik? acted ujhhi. It is in violation of the spirit if not of the letter of the Constitution. The purpose of insert ing iu the constitution the provision relative to the Sinking Fund was to place that fund beyond the reach of ordinary legislation, and compel the application of the money* set apart h* the sinking fund to the payment of the public debt. It i* true the Legis lature may increase or decrease the re venues of that fund, hut w hen money ha* been paid into that filial, it cannot constitutionally be appropriated to any other object than the payment of the principal and interest of the pub lic debt. The Legislature alone should IK- permitted to say whether the reve nue* of the *inking fund are too large. This discretion should never be given to any hoard of slate officers. We have perfect confidence in the rapaci ty and integrity of State Treasurer Noyca and Auditor General S. hell, two of the present Sinking Filial Com missioners, but this i* a power that cannot lie safely lodged with any one lint tlie immediate representatives of the jieople in the General Assembly. KED-UEAIJED Jira Audcrsoa and Agnes Jt-iik- should be on (IK- lookout for their laurel*. A Bother miecrt-aut, S. H. SC Martin by nuine, low- fomtl himself upon the attention of the Pot ter investigating committee, ami biU fair to become a dugcrmu rival to Andersen ami the Juiki in all thai |H-rtain* to mendacity aiul perjury. In an affidavit, which wn* presented to the committee la-dyWcek !<y Mr. Shellabarger, the counsel of J<hti Sherman, thin creature, St. Martin, who had acted an a deputy scrgvont at-artns to the committee, charge* iui proper conduct to Ib picsK-utativeStcu ger in the matter of serving stihpo-ua* upon witnease*. He allege* that he was instructed by Sterger not to serve the subpo-na.* of the republican coun sel, Imt to return them, and rcjrort that the witnesses could not be found. It is needle*-* to say that Mr. Stenger denies the charge HI toto, and says that it is an entire fabrication, the fals ity of which he will fully demonstrate when the proper time arrive*. In the same affidavit Ht. Martin ad mit.* tlmt in testimony previously giv en to the committN he wa.< guilty of perjury. With this confession of his unworthine**, it would win that in selecting Mr. Stcngcr as the first vic tim UJMUI whom to play oil' hU devil try, Ht Martin has chosen n very un promising subject Mr. Stenger stands so firmly behind the shield of pure nnd upright character in private life, nnd in his public career has always been such a bright example of manliucss and integrity, that the miserable lios of the wrrtch who now assail* hi* good name eannot hut fall harmless at his feet If this vile assault upon Mr. Stenger proves, as it probably will, to be another trick of the wily John Hberraan to draw public atten tion away from the odium that at taches to his own connection with the thieves who stole the electoral vote of I Louisiana, it will signally fail of its purpose. Hhermuu will ascertain to his sorrow that he cannot cover up his own evil deeds by wicked fabrica tions against the reputation ot au honest man.

Katia fied a* to its locality we started along 1 the straight avenue before us, both side* of which were lined with tombs present ing much the apjearance of small one atory lodge*. They stood closely crowd ed together, long lines of them in 1 wearisome similarity, windowiess, and a single door to each with an open panel protected by light iron gmting. 1 atep , pod up and peered into some; a modet shrive with a chair upon either aide, auch was the onvariable appointment of each.

Aa we entered a prieat was reciting aervioe for the dead. The building, small and unpretending, ia void of attraction. Remaining but a moment, we turned down to the right.

At a little distance it seemed like a huge pyramid of black and yellow. From here we drifted down on a side path towards the main entrance and near the , Jewish Cemetery, in vhut appeared as an abandoned quarter, past antiquated looking tombs stain# hy the elements a dull grey. Through the dilapidated I doors of some the wind hud driven and ( whirled dust ami leaves in permanent heaps into the corners, adding to them year by year. Down in tins forsaken and forgotten locality—rendered gloomy t by the deep -hade of trees—we came ii|>ori the celebrated monument of Abo lard and lleloise. Abe lard died and was buried in 1142 in the Priory of Ht. Marcel. Heloise had him transferred to her Abbey ol the Paraclete, and at her I death she was buried in the same tomb. Alter several removals, in iWXI they wero transferred to tlie garden of the "Museuin of French Monumeats." The keeper of tlie institution had the pros ent erection constructed from '.he tuins |ol the Abliey of the Par-u-let* and an | ancient tomb from St. Marceli I'jxm the dissolution of the Mil-cum lliey were taken to Fere La Chaise. The tomb is in representation of a Gothic Chapel ► urmounted with a steeple ; has reliefs adorn the pediments, whilst under the , canopy extend the recumbent figures of tlie antique lovers. The design is in complete harmony of pro(>ortion. The ground about thiarurious relic is tramp ed bare by the feet of visitors. We returned as far as the Fa-pail monument and thence followed a path that led us up tbo side of a high lull. In this locality some of the memorials im-'iue more elegance and a greater variety of dasign.

From hero we drifted on, passing the tomb of tlie renowned Alibe Sioye*, the two Marshals, I-aurenA tsouvion St. L'yr and Stephen MschnuM. After mme < limbing we reached the lop of the lull.
