Pay and Appointment of Deputy
Marshals.
The Senate on last Friday passed
Mr. Bayard's bill regulating the pay
and appointment of deputy marshals.
It now goes to the House, where it
will be considered aud passed this
week. The followiug is the text of
the bill:
Be it enacted, dee., that from and after
the passage of this act the pay of all depu
ty marshals for services in reference to any
election shall be s•*> for each day of actual
service, and no more.
SECTION 2. That all deputy marshals to
serve in reference to any election shall he
appointed by the Circuit Court of the I'nit
ed States for the district in which such
marshals are to perform their duties in
each year, at the term of Court next pre
ceding any election of Representatives or
Delegates in Congress ; hut if from any
cause there should be no session of the
circuit courts in the States or districts
where such marshals are to be appointed,
then in that case the judges of the district
courts of the United States are hereby re
spectively authorized to cause their courts
to be opened for the purpose of appointing
such deputy marshals, who thail be ap
pointed by the said district courts, and
the officers so appointed shall lie in espial
numbers from the different political parties
and shall he well known citizens of good
moral character and actual residents of the
voting precints in which their duties are to
1! performed, and shall not bo candidates
for any office at such election ; and all
laws and parts of laws inconsistent with
this act are hereby repealed.
SE . 3. That the marshals of the United
States for whom deputies shall be appoint
ed by the court under this act shall not he
liable for any of the acts of such deputies.
JUDGE WALLACE, late Chief Justice
of California, eminent as a judicial
officer, is also a Democratic politician
of rare ability and large experience.
He very ardently favors the nomina
tion of Judge Field as the Democratic
candidate for President, and is now in
Washington, with the view no doubt,
of advancing the interest of the Judge
to a favorable consideration at Cincin
nati. speaking of California, he says:
"Field can carry that State and that
roast with a whoop. Wo are all for him.
I'alifornia will send a solid Field delega
tion to Cincinnati, but his friends do not
desire formal instructions. We feel very
well disposed toward Mr. Tilden, but be
would be weak in the Pacific State*. We
also doubt his ability to carry New York
and certain Southern States. Judge Field,
however, would unite the party from San
dy Hook to the Golden Oate and the vic
tory in November would be as certain as
his nomination in June. I have been
gratified and astonished by the numerous
evidence* of his growing strength which I
have observed as I came East, and the
people of California will rejoice when they
realize it."
SENATOR JOHN A. LOGAN, under
the immediate eye of the. "Old Com
mander," ba proved himself fully
ejual to any of the lieutenant* in
command of the "third-term" war in
the Republican ranks. Having de
feated the Mulligans in Illinois, he
can now give his hand and claim
expial rank with our Don and the
shot-gun hero of New York, not only
for forcing success under difficulties,
hut iu the methods used to obtain it.
The Mulligans and their allies are
suppressed, ami the Duke is place*] in
supreme command of the situation.
Now it is in order to boost the Km.
pire and give full development to
the real object which supporters of a
"strong govemiuent" under Grant
have iu view.
COMMISSIONER LK Due, after all, it
appears, is not to be a member of Mr.
Hayes' Cabinet. That clause of the
bill providing funds for the effective
operations of the Agricultural Bureau,
which proposed to make it a Depart
ment of the Government, and the com
missioner a cabinet officer, was ruth
le j x[y stricken out in the House.
Tho Vote.
The first vote takeu in Congress in
the Curtiu-Yocum case was upon an
amendment to the resolution offered
by the minority of the committee de
claring Mr. Yocum entitled to the seat
and Mr. Curtiu not entitled thereto.
A division of the two branches of the
resolution was called for by Mr.
Springer, who moved to insert the
word "not" in the first branch, which
would make it read that "Seth H.
Yocum is not entitled to retain his
seat." Upon this ameudment the
yeas and nays were taken, and it was
decided in the negative—yeas To, nays

be but one line of battle and that will
move forward unbroken to certain vic

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
From the American VUIUIIUHT, Cirllsli.
Ever since the forty-sixth Congress
met, the country in general and Penn
sylvania in particular have been regaled
with a perpetual discussion by the po
litical newspapers of the contested
election case ol Curtin against Yocum.
The case is from the twentieth congres
sional district of this State, a district
which prior to the fall of '7B was as
strongly democratic as our own is, yet
to the surprise of everybody, in the
district and out, Yocum, the Green
back Republican candidate was return
ed as elected over ex Gov. Curtin, the
regular democratic nominee. This was
such an unexpected, unnatural and un
reasonable result that the modes of
securing it were investigated, and abun
dant cause for a contest shown up, and
Curtin accordingly carried the contest
to the House of Representatives, where
it hung fire in the committee on dec
lions until last January, when it was
reported to the House for the first, but
was not reached until the 7th inst.,
when Mr. Reltzhoover, the able young
Representative of our own district
oiiened the debate upon the report.
He reviewed the case in a thorough and
analytic manner, and produced unan
swerable arguments in favor of the con
testant, but when on Tuesday the vote
was reached, Yocum was seated by a
vote of 113 to 7*>. This was accomplish
ed by the vote of Republicans and
Greenbnckers, with the following dem
ocrats: Messrs. Aiken, Berry, Bouck,
Bright, Caldwell, Chalmers, I-Vlton,
Henkle, Hosteller. Mills, New, O'Reilly,
Richardson, of South Carolina, Rich
mond, Singleton, of Mississippi, Ste
phens, Stevenson, Tillman and Wright.
This is certainly not gratifying news to
the democrats who have been demo
crats ever since before the war, and
who vividly remember with what nlac
lity the Republicans in Congress un
seated democratic members, no matter
by what majority put there, and their
Republican competitors seated, no mat
ter how flimsy and contemptible their
reasons for a contest. Were the demo
crats at all disposed to nu-te out to the
Republicans the same arbitrary treat
ment that in the past they have re
ceived, the House would be democratic
by a two-thirds vote, for every demo
crat who would come before Congress
with the ghost of a case, would be rail
roaded into bis Republican competitor's
•eat to help swell the majority.
Fr-Bi ll# tlirrtshurf Patriot
The Centre DEMOCRAT, a hebdomadal
for which we entertain feelings ol the
profoundest regard, takes us to task in
the following cruel style :
'•We are sorry to observe our friends of
the Ham-burg Patriot have far les* indig
nation to oi|tcnd upon the twenty demo
crats in Congress who basely betrayed
Governor Curtin and the democratic party,
than it has for the inconsiderate denuncia
tion of the 'Confederate Brigadiers' by the
Philadelphia Time*. The Patriot con
cede* the justness of GovernorCurtin's cae
and admits that he should have been seat
ed. There can therefore be no valid c-icuse
for the treachery of th<we reputed demo
crat* who voted against him, but notwith
standing this, we are deeply grieved to
note that these unfaithful men are treated
by that journal with the most considerate
tenderness, while it is unreserved, at the
same time, in its condemnation of the mis
taken zeal of the Times.''
HV am sorry that our friends nf the
I>KMn<-RjiT are no hnr<l to please. While
the Curtin-Yocum contest was pending
the Patriot did iu full duty a* a fair and
candid journal in advocating the claims
of G or. Curtin to the seat. In order to
come to an honest conclusion that Gov.
Curtin was justly entitled to the neat a
careful examination of the voluminous
testimony in thecase was necessary. The
Patriot devoted much time and patience
to an investigation of the matter and
finally was glad to lie convinced that
Gov. Curtin * case rested on a solid
foundation. But the Pitnot has for
many years denounced the practice of
the republican party in determining
contested elections by the application
of the party whip to the tribunals try
ing tbeni and it doe* not propose to
sacrifice it* consistency t>y denouncing
representatives of it* own party for act
ing independently when sitting a*
judges in an election contest. We do
not care to assist in introducing repuSli
can methods into democratic practice
in the settlement of contested elections.
On the other hand we regard it as a
source of congratulation tlmt the record
of the democratic majority in Congress
on the subject of election contests is
entirely free from that taint of partisan
ship which caused the republican party
to become a stench in the nostrils of the
people. We neither defend or con
deran the action of the democrat* who
voted against the report of the majority
of the committee of elections in the
Curtin- Yocuni case. We think they
erred in judgment, but it would be un
fair and indecent to charge them with
having erred willfully or corruptly. The
case turned on the construction of cer
tain provision* of the constitution and
law* of this state relating to the regis
tration of voters. The majority of the
committee on elections contended that
the law requiring the registration of the
voter and the making of certain proof
of the right to vote in case of non regis
tration, is mandatory. The minority
claimed that the law la not mandatory,
but simply directory. The lawyers
of the house disagreed in regard to this
point, though in our opinion the views
of the majority of the committee as
presented tyr Messrs. Beluhoover and
Kyon of this state are undoubtedly cor
rect. But the case was determined by
this point of law and it would be height
of absurdity to denounce even a con
federate brigadier for having his own
opinion on a legal question about which
the best lawyer* differ.
From lli' York Urn r*tU.
Hon. F. K. Beltzhoover, of (his Con
gressional district, on the Bth inst.,
made a legal argument, as a member of
tho Committee on Elections, on the
Ctirtin-Yocutn contested election case
from Pennsylvania, in the House of
Representatives, which has teen most
favorably commented upon by a num
ber of influential journals, (as will be
seen by one of our Washington letters,)
for its thorough vindication of the
claim of the contestant to the seat now
occupied by Yocuin. This Bpeech is
said to stump Mr. iVltzhoover as one of
the ablest lawyers of the House ; and
being one of the youngest members of
that body, he may in time become one
lof the most useful. Under the circum
stances this district is to be congratu
lated in its representative, and will do
itself credit in nominating him for
another term, which it is generally
; conceded he is entitled to.
frt'fii tl*- ClearfleM RpuLlian
We have 29 1 members of Congress
silting at the Federal Capitol, voting
and (flawing pay, and yet when the im
portant case of t'urlin vs. Yocurn came
up for settlement the other day the
| vote stood: Yocuin, 113; '"urtin, 75;
absentees, 103. This vote smacks of as
much corruption as was practiced at
the polls during the election, and must
I be recorded and considered by all bon
! orable men as equally as damnable.

Fn tn the D"y Ira town Democrat.
The Curtin-Yocum contest in Con
gress, came to a final vote on last Tues
, day, and resulted in seating Mr. Yocutn,
who is a <ireenbacker, by a vote of 113
to 75. Several democrats, and all the
(ireenbackers voted against Curt in and
for Yocum. We have always believed,
and still believe, that Custin was hon
estly and legally elected, and we con
sider the vote, giving the seat to Yocum,
great injustice to<iovernor<"urtin. The
Democrats of that district owe it to
themselves to vindicate this unjust decis
ion by re-nominating and electing him,
next falls If a Democratic Congress
will not do justice in sucli a case,
let the Democrats of the Centre district
see to it that they do it.

B. Furey, a young gentleman from Pleas
ant Cap, who i now attending the Univer
sity at LewUburg, writes an interesting
letter to a friend at his home about that
institution. As it is the ,t/m<i Miter of
of many persons from Centre county, a
few sentence* from his letter may be found
interesting :
"The name by which the institution i*
legaliv recognised and generally known is
"The University of 1-ewLburg, Penn'a. '
This name was given t<> it simply because
of its location at the town of I-ewisburg.
The University is empowered to grant to
its students and to otners deemed worthy
such degrees tn the liberal art* and sciences
as are usually granted in other universi
ties. The number of graduates from the
institution i* 'JSS ; of these 213 have re
received the degree of Bachelor of Art* and
j59 the degree of Bachelor of Sciences.
The town of 1-ewisburg is situated near
the centre of the State, on the west bank of
the Susourhanna, about seventy miles
; north of iiarri.-burg, and has easy commu
nication by railroad with all ;mrU of the
country. The Philadelphia and Erie rail
road passes by the place on the east side of
the river. <>n every account I-ewisburg
seemed as well adapted for the location of
the University as any place that could be
selected within the borders of the State.
The institution is situated on the south
' side ot the town, not far from the river, in
a grove of native growth, on a hill of
modest elevation, which commands a fine
view of the country for many miles around.
The id< a of the authorities who control
: the Collegiate department ha* been to
> make it an institution equal in every re
' Spec! to the high sense in which the term
j "College - is now received in this country.
It* course of stujy extends through four
' years. The College has but one building,
consisting of a central structure 80 feet
square and three stories high. The lower
floor i used principally for lecture rooms ;
the second floor for library, cabinet and
College societies, and the third floor wholly
as a Commencement Hall. There are
! wings extending east and west each 125
leet long and 35 feet wide, which are oc
i cupied by students' study rooms and dorma
tories. The wing* are four stories high.
There are no attics, and the basement is
used wholly for fuel and furnace*. Por
tions of the building were erected as early
*s ltc>2, and the entire structure was com
pleted in IH-'rfi, The original cot of the
building wa ffiO.OdO. The student* have
for the last seven years published a month
jly paper called The ft./ teat Herald
The Academy connected with the insti
tution was opened on the sth of October,
IM6, a the 1-ewisburg High School, by
Prof. Taylor and hi* son, in the basement
of the old Baptist church, under the pres
ent site of Music Hall, South Third Street
In the original plan of the University
at Lewuburg, a Seminary for young ladies
occupied a prominent "place! The new
department was opened a* the "University
i Female Institute.
AH student* are expected to attend daily
prayers in the chapel. On Sunday morn
ing all are reouired to attend religious
services. One President presides over the
College, Institute and Academy.
Mr. A. (J. Noll, of Pleasant Gap, ha*
rented the shoe shop on High street recent
ly vacated by Mr. L. Krhard, and is pre
pared to carry on hi* business in an en
terprising manner. The people of Pleas
ant Gap generally excel at everything
they undertake, and Mr. Noll Is not an
exception. Those having worn-out soles
or who kre in need of new coverings for
their "understandings" will do well to call
on Mr. Noll.
