A brief local last week announced the death of General Win. G. Mitchell, Assistant Adjutant General on General Hancock's staff, lieneral Mitchell died on Wednesday morning of last week' at (iovernor's Island, New York, of jifieumotiia. Fuuoralservices were held there, and the remains were bronght to I.ewistown for interaient. arriving here on Friday morning. At four o'clock the remains were interred in St. Mark's cemetery. The funeral was attended by many friends of the deceased, and fourteen members of the original Lo gan Guards escorted the body to the grave. General Mitchell was a native of Lew istown, and was a son of William It- Mitchell. He had been in the military setviee almost without interruption from the outbreak of the war until his death. He left I.ewistown on the 17th of April, HOI, with the Logan Guards, under Captain Selheimer, and carried the banner of the company i still in the possession of Col. Selheimer) through Baltimore on the memorable Hth. >oou after he was made sergeant ma r in the Seventh regiment. After it was mustered out he became First Lieuten ant of Captain Maclay's company in the Forty ninth regiment. Sub-cquently ho became aide-de camp on General Hancock's staff, and for the brave and meritorious conduct in service he was rapidly promoted, until at the close of the war he was brevet brigadier gener al of volunteers. He participated in quite a number of tho severest battles of the war. After the war he was commissioned a captain in the regular army, and was detailed as a member of General Han cock's staff. In I**l President Gar field appointed him Assistant Ad ntant General, at General H .ncock's solicita tion and the position on 'leneral Han cock's stall', which he previously occu pied by detail, be subsequently held by virtue of his office. General Hancock and General Mitchell were the warmest of personal friends through all the years of their association together, and the eminent General sincerely mourns the ioss of his efficient and warm-hearted assistant. General Mitchell made friends of all his associates, and there is a large circle who sincerely mourn his death. In New York on Saturday, General Hancock said to a reporter '"lt was a matter of regret to me that General Mitchell's family desired a strictly private interment, which pre ventedjmy presence at I.ewistown, I'a. The funeral ceremonies were concluded here. He could have had no more ap propriate escort to (he grave than the lr. .John P. Mitchell, of ltellefonte, and of Joseph F. Mitchell, of State College. Murk f the Legislature. I he legislature of l.ss.'i has completed it* record unless, indeed, it should he recalled by the governor in extra sen *ion. In the main it has dono good work and what it did amis* has been corrected by the vigilance and careful ness of tho executive. It* sius in fact are not of commission but rather of omission. It lias failed to pas* tho nec" ••ssary apportionment bills ud this i* u* chief offense against good legislative moral*. No odor of corruption taint* it* record, but on tho contrary the fra grance of important legislation for the hetti r as-urance of good government will sweeten its memory long after it work shall have pas.-ed into history. The abolition of the useless and ex pensive office of sealer of weights ai 1 mea.-ure* and of recorder for cities of the first cla-s, the passage of the Wal. laco voluntary labor tribunal act, the several act* broadening and liberalizing the provi-ions of the free railroad law, the act known a* the free ] ipe law, the act prohibiting the consolidate n of telegraph companies, and the act to en force the provisions of the seventeenth irticle of the constitution relative to r kilroads ami canals, are more important and more beneficieot measures of legis lation than any placed on tie- statute books during the last decade. These enactments were made iri obedience to tho demand of the people for the sev eral reform* which they are intended to institute and carry out. The popular voice ha* spoken through the legisla ture, not with the thunderous violence which would have pleased men of ex treme views, but with sufficient |--i -tivenes* of tone to satisfy the ear of the great ( -nservative mas*. I he house of rej resentatives espec.al ly deserves great credit for it* excellent work. It n J utting it very modestly to •ay that no preceding house curs the idoption of the new constitution has sat as many houis, performed as much l* l >r. con; lered as many important bills, or accomplished as much in the way of actual legislation as the ] resent nr.". In addition to the bills which p isserl loth branches of the legislature, the hou*o devised and | as... J a measure which if it had become a law would iiave relieved the frody of the taxpayers of the commonwealth of nearly one million of dollar* per annum in local taxation. \\ e refer to the Jenkins I ill diverting licenses from the state rev eriups to the treasuries of the several counties. This full was defeated by the senate. Nor was it the fault of the house that the apportionment bills fad. Iwo months before the senate made any motion toward* taking tip the que*' t: n of apportionment the house had passed its bills on that sut icct. At every stage of the struggle over appor tionment the house was willing to yield to the senate more than the political majority in the latter body could justly demand. The republican leaders of the senate, puffed up with their own im portance and power, refused to accept the generous concessions of the house and on their skirts is the stain of the violated constitution. Let the intelli gentcitixen scrutinize the recordsof the two houses respectively on the subject of apportionment and place the respon sibility for the disgraceful disregard of tho constitution and of the rights of the people where it justly belong*. Tin central organ of President Ar thur's administration, says tho Wash ington I'ott, again rehashes the story that General Garfield, some time in the campaign of 1880, sold a placa on the Supreme bench to Jay Gould, the con sideration being 9100,000, paid by Gould into tbo Republican campaign fund, and used to aid in the election of Gen eral Garfield to tho office now held by Mr. Arthur. All things considered thia is the most hideous scandal that has ever been paraded since our Govern ment was founded. If true—and we are very far from believing that it is— it should damn the name of the illus trious dead to unmitigable infamy. If false— as wo sincerely hope it is—the utterance of it, and especially its utter ance by a newspaper speaking for Presi dent Arthur's administration, is in famous to the last degree. Gov. I'UIUSOII'M MPHHTIGE 'tilling for 1111 Kxtrii SCHNIOII. Tho following mcspngo gives the ren Hons for convening tho Legislature at once, and his reasons for so doing will be appreciated by tho bettor portion of tho voters ol this commonwealth : II AIIKI sat HI;, .1 one li. —To the AVmi.v uml Hon oj Hepr<- rn/titii . t ~f thr Common ic.atlh of I'tnn.iyliani'i —Gr.NTl.KMEN: I'.y virtue of the authority vested in me by the constitution, I hereby convene you < in extraordinary session on Thursday, j the seventh day of June, Anno l)omini one thousand eight hundred and eighty three, at twelve o'clock noon of that •lay. In the judgment of tho executive such an extraordinary occasion has arisen as to require the exercise of this power. The constitution commands the (ieneral Assembly, immediately after each I 'nited States decennial census t<> apportion the State into Senatorial and Representative districts. This impera tive mandate ha- not been obeyed. Ity the joint rules of your Houses the time has gone by when any hills disclosing a purpose to perform this duty can be presented to mo for approval. Iho obligation is imposed upon the Governor to "take care that laws be faithfully executed." I deem it my duty, therefore, to exhaust niv lawful authority to correct the grave default of the Legislature. I qually important and necessary, though not so specifically commanded by law, is tho duty of the Assembly to apportion the Mate into Congressional and Judicial districts. I therefore, designate the apportionment of the State into Senatorial Represen tative, Congres-ional and Judicial dis tricts as subjects tor legislative consider ation. I he right of the people to fair, jut and lawful representation in the h-gisla live councils of the State and I'nion : secured by the constitution, and mut not be denied. The importance of the I right cannot be over estimate!. It i the o--ent; d principle of our form < f , government. It underlies all our poli tical rights. It is to be ealously guard ed, carefully conserved and faithfully carried out. The time is peculiarly titt.ng for the I assage of tills to secure a fair, ust, equitable and nmi j artisan apportion ment of the State. Thtw<> Houses of the Assembly are composed of rnajori ties of different party affiliations. \ greater degree of fa.rness i to be ex peeled from such a condition of the leg.slative body than if it wa dominated in both branches by majorities of the same party convictions. Each House will prove a check upon the other in iny attempt to obtain unfair advantages Mutual concessions and a spirt 'if con ciliation ought to result in an ad ust ment of the differences of the two Ifousi s ami the prompt j i--ag of tulle fair in spirit, g v ing just representation to the people in all sections of the State In addressing ourselves to these ub ects, we must keep constantly in view the guide provi led in the constitution directing that the legislative districts • hall I< "composed of compact and contiguous districts as nearly equal in population as may he " This is a plain and simple rnle. established for our guidance by the fundamental law. | ! follow it m it- spirit will result in just conclusions. '1 here ought not to be any doubt of the legislature speedily agree ;ng upon the subject designated for their consideration. It is their duty to agree A further default in this matter will result in at least six years of the decade elapsing without the apportion ment required by law being made. To i prevent such an indefensible condition of affairs I have deemed it obligatory upon me to proclaim this call for an ex j traordinary session. I have selected a time for your assembling immediately , succeeding the day of adjournment of i .your regular session, so as not !<> noces j sitate your recall after you had dispersed j to your homes. In this way the ex pense of the session will be lessened as the machinery for the conduct of busi ness of the Assembly is ready for use. I reluctantly convene the Legislature at this season of the year. Nothing but a sense of imperative duty impels me to adopt this course. I hope, however, in a few days you will have concluded your labors to the satisfaction of the people, and having discharged your constitutional duties will !>e able to re turn again to your families and homer. ROHEST K. PsTrisox, - ' <1 | ■. STALWART REVDIRN, late I'resicent of the State Senate, proved himself a nar row minded, bitter and unscrupulous partisan, as much soasKiefer, whose official servicea at Washington proved so unpopular during his Speakership. The only difference between the two men is that our Heyhurn is a man of more ability and able to carry out his purposes without making such a fool of himself. The Patriot refers to recent ac tions of his in this wise : During the struggle on Friday night last over the attempt of the boeses to tack the Bulilt charier for Philadelphia to a bill relating to the cities of the sth ; class, the yeas and nays were called by Si-natora Humes and Kennedy on a cer tain motion. When tho roll was called neither Humes nor Kennedy voted, the policy of the Democrat* being to leave the Senate without a quorum* This was in the nature of dilatory pro ceedings and a' course to which the mi nority clearly may resort for its pro tection. liul Senator Heyhurn, tho President /y a ] • ru- *i of these remark- ; heart *• a hur.grv mt en >vs the gnawing of a three cot ! nered file.
