Towanda, Thursday, April 11,1867.
INTKHMARRUOE.
A vigorous protest is made to the
Kentucky Legislature in a re
cent report signed by the Commis
sioners of the Kentucky Institution
for the education and training of fee
ble minded children, against the in
termarriage of persons nearly related.
The action of the State Senate upon
this report caused quite a flatter
throughout the commonwealth, and
the aensatioD, with the discussion of
the question, has extended to every
State in the Union. As the subject
of intermarriage is one of very
great social importance, we make an
extract from thr report:—
" We deem it our duty to the inter
ests of humanity, as well as to the
pecuniary interests of the State, to
bear our testimony, in addition to
the abundant statistics heretofore
collected and published by physi
cians and philanthropists, and to the
observation of every close observer,
us well as to the general considera
tions of propriety, that a large per
centage of deaf mutes and of the
blind, a limited per centage of luna
tics, and, no doubt, a much larger
one than either of feeble minded or
ididtic children, are the offspring of
the marriage of first cousins. Our
charitable institutions are filled with
children all the time whose parents
are so related—sometimes as many
as four from one family ; and we
have known in the case of idiots, of ]
a still larger number iu a family. It |
is a fearful penalty to which persons
so related render themselves liable
by forming the matrimonial relation,
and which they in nearly every in
stance, incur, not indeed in all, but
in one or more of their offspring. In
stances, we do not deny, may be
shown where a portion of the child
ren—one or more—may inherit from
both parents,where possessed of high
mental and bodily endowments of a
common origin, enhanced and re
markable qualities of body and mind;
but it is generally at the expense of
unfortunate and deeply afflicted broth
ers and sisters. We believe few in
stances can be given where such en
hanced endowments are common to
all the offspring ; while instances are
not unfrequent where nearly all, and,
in a few, perhaps, every child is af
flicted either in body or mind, and
sometimes in both. The State has,
in large majority of cases, to edu
cate, and often support for life, these
afflicted children. Has she not then
a clear and indisputable right to in
terpose her authority to prevent mat
rimonial alliances, so productive of
private calamity and public injury?
I The State is thereby not only defraud-
Ed of the labor, usefulness, energy
and intelligence of a considerable
portion of her citizens, but she has,
in addition, the burden of their edu
cation and support, and, in the case
of uneducated idiots, their support
fhr life, thus unreasonably superin
duced, upon her. The unfortunate,
by unavoidable casualty, she must
and ought cheerfully to provide for,
but surely she is not boned, in reas
on and good policy, to legalize mar
riages so productive of private and
public damage. Indeed it is prepos
terous, not to say wrong, that she
should do it. A law of a few lines
would cut off, henceforward, the ex
penditure of thousands of dollars for
the support of the offspring of mar
riages of first cousins, as well as
prevent the burden of a lifetime of
sorrow and regret in many estima
ble families. VVe desire to say, em
phatically, that this opinion is not a
theory, but is based upon well ascer
tained and indubitable facts."
While we agree with the general
conclusions of this report in regard
to the progeny springing from the iu
teruiarriages of first cousins, we
still doubt whether the evil can be ar
rested by legal enactments. If we
examine the higher, and the lower
strata of society in our large cities,
! it will bo found that efieminancy of
body and mind, weakmindeduess,
lunacy and idiocy prevail to a fear
ful extent. From the one, hot-house
plants, pampered with every indul
gence, are sent out to wither down
so soon as exposed ; and from the
other, cold-house plants, reeking
with disease contracting in filth and
wickedness, polluting the atmosphere
wherever they go ; aud can these
pestilences upon the body politic be
reached by legal enactments; will
cousin falling iu-lovc, as the phrase
goes, be deterred from marriage be
cause of a law against it! They
can remove, or be married in another
place. Our remedy is intelligence,
let a philosophical knowledge of our
physical being be thoroughly spread
through our schools and newspapers,,
and these intermarriages,,we believe
will soon cease.
A NEW INSANE ASYLUM. —Miss Dix,
by whose exertions the asylum near
Harrisburg and that near Pittßburg
were projected, is now in Harrisburg,
urging the Legislature to make an
appropriation for the erection of a
third insane-asylum, to be located
in the Northern part of the State, for
the accomodation of the insane of a
Northern District, to be composed of
the counties of Monroe, Carbon, Pike,
Wane, Susquehanna, Wyoming, Lu
zerne, Columbia, Montour, Clinton,
Centre, Clearfield, Elk, Cameron,
M'Kean, and Potter. Probably a
bill proposing to appopriate fifty
thousand dollars to begin the work
of erecting au asylum in the district
named will be reported this week.
There is no doubt of the necessity of
a third institution of the kind in thiß
.State The asylum at Harrisburg is
full, and with applications far in cx
'*• of its accomodating capacity.
Jt is anticipated that a similar condi
tion of sffaiis will prevail in the
a Alleghany as soon as it i
completed
THE RCS3UW-AMERICAN' TREATY IN*
THE SENATE. —The Senate on Monday
took up the Rnsso-American Treaty,
which had been reported from the
Committee on Foreign Relations with
a unanimous recommendation for its
ratification. Senator Buhner made
an elaborate argument of two hoars'
duration in its favor. It is under
stood that the injunction of secresy
regarding the proceedings in Execu
tive Session will be so far modified
as to allow the publication of his
speech. It is a comprehensive state
ment of the foreign policy of the
Government, and rehearses the his
tory of previous attempts on the part
of other Powers to obtain possession
of the country in question. The only
objection of seeming force yet urged
against the treaty in that based on
the statement that this territory is
incumbered by various charters to
foreign trading companies. So far
as the mere fact is concerned it is
true, but the terms of the treaty
made special provision for these ex
isting franchises. Russia first of
fered the Territory for $7,000,000,
subject to the claims of these com.
panies. This our Government de
clined to accede to. The Russian
Government finally offered to assume
these claims itself if- <5*200,000 addi
tional were added to the purchase
money, which was agreed to, and we
receive the Territory free from all in
cumbrance by virtue of the charters,
franchise and privileges granted to
British, Russian and American trad
ing companies by the Russian Gov
ernment. This accounts tor the pre
cise sum named as the purchase
money, viz. :$7,200,000.
JgU The bids for the twenty-three
million loan of Pennsylvania were
opened at Harrisburg on Monday.
About $1,000,000 was bid for at par
at five per cent, per annum, and
about $31,000,000 at 0 per cent.,
ranging from par to 1-0 per cent,
premium. The bids exceed the
amount wanted, by about $8,000,000.
Drexel A (Jo., Jay Cooke & Co., and
E. W. Clarke & Co., get about $lO,-
000,000 at premiums ranging from
l-20th to 1-I6th per cent.
Hon. Edward McPhersou, Clerk of
the House of Representatives of the
United States, is collecting the ma
terials for, and has, indeed, com
menced to write the Life of Thadd
eus Stevens.
ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE. —The nom
ination of JAMES F. WII.BER, for post
master at this place, was rejected by
the Senate on Friday last.
Gov. FENTON has signed the
bill granting State aid to the Susque
hanna Railroad. The bill passed on
Wednesday afternoon, and the Gov
ernor Bigned it the same evening.—
The road will now get $250,000. —
This will carry it through to its ter
minus, Binghamtou, forty miles from
the point at which the cars now stop,
The friends of this measure have
shown wonderful enterprise and per
sistency,under every form of discour
agement. They have fairly earned
the success which they have thus at
last achieved.
Personal and Political
—Hon. Thaddeus Stevens has been
confined to his bed ever since Wednesday
last, from general prostration and an affec
tion of the heart. Secretary Seward called,
but Mr. Stevens was to ill to see him and
other inquiring friends.
—I he petition filed in the Supreme
Court on Friday last, by Messrs. Sharkey
and Walker, praying for an injunction
against the enforcement of the Sherman
Reconstruction Bill, is to be followed with
one from Georgia, and probably with oth
ers from all the Southern States, praying
for the same action.
—lt iB stated that the Attorney
General's office will soon give a legal opin
ion as to whether General Sheridan had any
right, under the Military Reconstruction
act, to remove State officials in Louisiana.
The President is represented as being of
opinion that he has no such right under
that law. If the Attorney General reports
to that effect, the recently displaced officers
will undoubtedly be restored by the Presi
dent.
—Judge Sharkey and Hon. Robert
J. Walker, on behalf of the State of Mississ
ippi, filed in the Supreme Court an applica
tion to argue ths bill asking for an injunc
tion against the enforcement of the Military
Reconstruction bill in that State. Attorney
General Stanberry said that he was ready
to resist the granting of the leave, but Chief
Justice Chase said that the Court would
hear the argument on the next motion day,
being Friday next.
—Major-Gen. John Pope has issued
an order assuming command of the „Third
Military District, comprising the States of
Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. He permits
the present civil officers in those States to
retain their places, on condition of good
behavior, until their terms expire ; and for
bids all elections except those provided for
under the Reconstruction of Congress.
—The appointment of Registers
under the Bankrupt law will not be made
for some time yet. It is understood that
Chief-Justice Chase is preparing regulations,
which will be promulgated in a few days,
providing for the selection of Registers in
the several Judicialdistricts. The applica
tions are very numerous for the positions,
and it is found necessary to adopt some
system before they are made.
—Gen. Sickles, in South Carolina,
has for the present prohibited elections,an
nouncing that he will soon begin to appoint
Sheriffs. In Alabama, Gen. Swayne simi
larly declares that all local elections are dis
allowed,and summons all lately elected per
sons to report the fact to headquarters.
—The Ohio Legislature, which not
long ago refused manhood suffrage, has re
versed that aotion, and both branches have
paaasd a bill establishing it in the State.—
The House amended the bill to disfranchise
iiebsls and deserters, and has sent it to the
fk*nat for action
.from Cjarrtßbnrg.
Special Correspondence of THE BRADFORD
REPORTER.
RARKISBIKO. Pa., April 8, 1867.
Having an aversion to tin indiscriminate
"puffing" of men, either in high or low
places, 1 have in this correspondence, since
the date of my first letter, carefully abstain
ed from lauding any one. You will agree
with me, however, that a word in reference
to the Executive o' the .State will not be out
of place here. I am informed that at no
time in the history of Penusylj auia, has any
Governor succeeded in doing what has been
accomplished by Gen. Geary. It has been
customary, at the close of the sessions of
the Legislature, from seventy-five to a hun
dred of its acts to remain in the Governor's
hands, there to receive his signature or his
veto, at a future day. Not so now. lam
informed that Gov. Geary disposes of all
bills as soon as they are brought before him,
and that when the present session closes,
the files iu the Governor's office will be
empty. All the bills will be signed or re
turned by His Excellency before the mem
bers get out of the city. Business is the or
der of the day with His Excellency, and he
gives personal supervision to it. The peo
ple already pronounce him the " model
Governor."
Much has been written and piiuted on the
subject of the recent passage of a bill au
thorizing the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany to increase its capital, and some of the
newspa}>ers entirely misconstrue the provi
sions of the act. The increase allowed is
but five miilions of dollars, and this amount
(or a large portion of it) is to be applied to
the straightening of the tracks of the road.
It is believed that many miles in distance
can be saved, and that the chances of acci
dents will be greatly diminished. The act
does not permit the capital to be increased
above $35,000,000. The bill of March 2,
1860, authorized its increase to $30,000,000.
The bids for the new State Loan were
opened on the Ist inst. They amounted in
the aggregate to $31,000,000, or $8,000,000
above the whole amount advertised. The
bids varied from par to a premium of one
half per cent. This fact is alone sufficient
to convince the public that Pennsylvania's
credit is good—that money men are not
afraid to invest their greenbacks in her
bonds. $23,01X1,000 was the whole amount
for which the State Treasurer advertised,
and the promptness with which the loan was
taken is creditable alike to the State and her
people.
In a former letter I mentioned the fact
that a bill had been introduced in the Leg
islature, having in view the publication of
the State Laws in at least two newspapers of
opposite polities, in each county. It was
hoped that a bill of this kind might pass,
but, I regret to say that the one referred to
has been indefinitely postponed. In many
of the Western States the laws of each ses
sion, as they are passed, go into the news
papers, and the people have an opportunity
to learn the nature of the enactments. It is
a well-known fact that no where in the
North are the people kept in such complete
ignorance in regard to the Statutes as here
in Pennsylvania. A certain number of copies
of what are called the "pamphlet laws,"
are annually printed, bound in miserable
blue paper covers, and sent to the various
Justices of the Peace foi their official use,
but none of them find their way into the
hands of private individuals. Our people
are expected to obey the laws, while those
laws are not laid before them that they may
learn what they are. If the laws are to be
kept as sealed books, their violation by any
one, through ignorance, should not be pun
ished. If newspaper publishers will posi
tively refuse to support men who will not
pledge themselves to have the laws publish
ed in the public journals, there will soon be
provision made for their publication.
Also, an act to extend the act providing
for the assessment of seated lands in the
townships where the mansion house is situ
ated, to the borough of Rome, in the coun
ty of Bradford, for school purposes.
An act to reduce the number of School
Directors in the several school districts of
Bradford county, and to pay the same, was
objected to by Mr. Armstrong, when it came
up for action, and temporarily laid aside.
The House passed an act repealing the
first section of an act to prevent the spread
of Canada thistles, etc., approved March 22.
18G3, so for as relates to the county of Brad
ford.
Also, a bill to authorize the School Direc
tors of Troy Borough School District, in
Bradford county, to contract a loan for the
purpose of erecting a suitable building for
school purposes, in said borough.
An act to authorize the Governor to ap
point an additional Notary Public for the
county of Bradford, to reside in Athens
Borough, passed the Senate finally.
The Legislature is expected to adjourn on
Thursday of next week. REX.
IST" The Sheriff of Luzerne County,
Penn., telegraphed to the Governor
of this State on Saturday that there
was a serious riot in the township of
Hazelton and Foster,and that he was
unable to quell it with the force at
his command, an armed force would
be necessary. The Governor, having
telegraphed to a prominent citizen of
the County, received an account of
the condition of affairs, and thereup
on ordered the captain of a militia
company in the vicinity to hold him
self in readiness, but in no event to
move without orders from him,
although the Sheriff had previously
ordered him out to quell the riot. A
dispatch from llarrisburg says noth
ing further had been heard from the
scene of the disturbance, and it was
supposed that all was quiet. The
disturbance whatever it may have
been, is supposed to have been caus
ed by a strike for higher wages, the
majority attempting to prevent the
minority from working.
GEN. JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON, of the
late confederate army, publishes in
the Selma (Ala.) Gazette a letter of
five columns, defending himself and
Stonewall Jackson against imputa
tions contained in J. Eaten Cooke's
Life of the latter, and correcting sun
dry errors in its report of events at
and after the iirst battle of Bull Run.
He says that the reason why the
Federal army was not pursued after
that battle by the victorious confed
erate cavalry, was that the cavalry
(of which they had but a small force)
was driven back by the strong rear
guard of the United States army,
and that it would have been utter
madness to rush upon the fortifica
tions on the Virginia side of the Po
tomac, which were strong and heav
ily armed, as a river a mile wide
would have still intervened between
them and the capital, which they
had no means of crossing. General
Johnston says the victory ot Bull
Run saved the confederacy, which
was all it could reasonably have
been expected to do. Most of the
rebel troops regarded it as deciding
the whole question and ending the
war, and thousands of them left the
army and went home. The Union
army,be says, was "less disorganized
by defeat than the confederate army
by its triumph." The letter is a val
uable contribution to the military
history of the war, but has little im
mediate general interest.
Iflr In August last the Oswego
(N. Y.) papers contained an account
of the loss of a little girl who had
left home one morning for the pur
pose of picking berries, and never
returned. On Tuesday last, says
the Oswego Palladium, of a late date,
boys hunting near the field in which
the girl was lost came npon a num
ber of black snakes which they kill
ed. The appearance of the reptiles
in such numbers was thought remark
able, and it was suggested that a
breeding den was near. In the side
of the hill was found an opening
which in the summer was concealed
by grass and boshes. In this open
ing was found a human skeleton,
from which every particle of flesh
had been taken. The bones were as
white as ivory and all perfect. Near
by was a rusty tin pail and cup The
remains were taken from the mouth
of the den, and an examination
showed that the place was a den of
black snakes. The boldest hesitated
to enter. Lighted balls of hay, soak
ed in kerosene, were thrown into the
cavity, and iu less than fifteen min
utes 80 snakes, ranging in length
from li to 4 feet, came out ami were
killed.
The paii and cup were recognized
by Mr. and Mrs. Drummond as those
taken by their child. The physicians
pronounced the remains those of a
female child, and there can oe little
doubt that the girl seated herself in
the shade at the opening to this ter
rible den and was attacked by the
reptiles in numbers and killed.
