THE majority report of the Judi
ciary Committee of the State Con
stitutional Convention has been
published.. It provides that the Ju
diciary of our State shall consist _of .
three bodies or liranches; - Supreme
Court, a Circuit Court, and Courts
of Common Pleas. The Supreme
Court is to consist of I seven Judges,
to be appointed by
. the Governor,
(the five now in office to continue
until their commissions expire,) and
to hold office twenty-one years. The
Circuit Court shall ,consist of nine
Judges, eight of. whom shall be elec
tive, the'ninth being detailed by the
Supreme Bench to preside. 411
Judges of other Courts shall be. elec
tive, learned in the law, a nd to serve
a term of ten years. It also pen
sions Judge s
l after a service of twenty
years, or when retiring at the age of
seventy years, giving them two-thirds
of their salaries for life. For the
purpose of appellate jurisdiction the
State shall be divided into six Circuit
Court districts. "Until otherwise
directed by law the Common Pleas
districts are to continue as they now
are. Several minority reports were
made.
Mn. SAMUEL H. RErNotns, a Dem?-
crat elected under BUCULLIV'S cumu
lative system of voting,.has resigned
the seat in the Constitutional Con
ventimi, and Ex Governor BIGI f EII
has been designated by the Domo
crats in that body as his successor.
It seems that this body is to be filled
up with all the broken down politic
ians of the State. • Nearly cone-half-of
the delegates in that body could
never have commanded a majority
vote okthe people for g ,seat in the
convent!,a, hut were elected under
theplea, of minority representation.
Mr. BecsALEw, whom the people Te
jected as Governor by an overwhelm
ing majority, had himself placed in
that body, and now Comes our old
friend Ex-Governor posit- While
we have no personal Ojection to any
of these gentlemen regaling themsel
ves, at the expense of the State, in
Philiidelphiii, we do think the peo
ple ought to have -a voice in their
election.:
Blircii dissatisfaction is expressed
in some quarters with the manner in
which the legislature made the Con
gressional districts in this 'State. We
suppose itt. would have been an inr
possibility to please everybody, and
the bill gives satisfaction to a large
majority of the counties. Oar dis
trict is composed of Bradford, Sus
quehanna. Wayne and Wyoming
counties, While we are sorry to
have the very pleasant political rela
tions which have existed between
the counties comprising the'old dis
trict severed, we are entirely satis
fied with our new partners.

The bill reoentiv passed, ;prattling a charter
to the Troy and Towanda Railroad Company,
has caum.d a great deal of inquiry about the
objects, purposes and plans of the new compa
ny, which represents we are told, some of the
leading men of the county. For many years,
spasmodic attempts have been made to get up
an interest in a line of railroad, connecting the
Lehigh Valley with the Northern Central. At
one time there , was a charter obtained for a
railroad from Granville Summit, to Intersect
the Barclay road at GreentroaL and ground
was broken for this line, but only to NOM the
charter. It was a great mistake on the part.of
the managers of the Northern Contra, as the
building of eleven miles of road would have put
them in possession of the magnificent coal
traffic of the Bare ay and Winn region. •
J3urveys have been made of the routes, ono
down Towanda Creek from Canton, another
through Granville, and two lines to Athecur,one
down Sugar Creek •to its mouth; the other
through Smithfield.: till those routes have
been decided to be practicable, and some one
of them will eventually be occupied by a road
sometime. Bow long that "sometime" may
be, we cannot felt, but our f Ith is strong that
such a road will built. as a mere tem
porary expedient, be
to quiet Not
county division
schemes, or as depending on local travel and
freight for support, will any such road be con
structed, bat as ono link of -a great chain of
roads extending piratic' with the Trio and
Penn. Central. There, is mineral wealth
enough to make a road, extending from Bing
hamton to Towanda, and thence west via Troy,
Mansfield, Wellsborok and Coudersport, to
Warren, a paying road from the first. Aside
from its being one of ;the great thoroughfares
between the east arei west, Its local traffic
,would be heavier to bqgin with, than any simi
lar road at its'beginnbig. But bow far in the
future such a road will be built, is a matter of
mere conjecture. Onci live man like A. S. Div
en, would stir the people of the route up to
that point that capitalists would readily invest
their spare cub. But till that live man comes,
we shall have to wait patiently.
The Troy and Towanda railroad is iLtended
to bo built, if at all, on the new, narrow three
feet gauge. which is now in operation in some
portions of the West. It is believed that the
cost will sotbe over $100,t)00, for the grading,
and that it can be stocked and ironed for a
similar amount. Why could not $50,000 be
subscribed in Towanda and an equal amount
in this place and along the route. It seems as
ift is might bo done. Let there be a general
discussion on this subject.

PREPARATIONS have been made for a
Mormon exodus. It is said that 20,
000 of them are ready to leave with
BIIIGELAM YouNo for the mountain
districts of Arizona. If this is true,
it will acount for the story of YouNG's
resignation in favor of a younger
man. He will take with him the
cream of the faithful, and leave the
balance to his- successor, who will
have to encounter Gentile influences
and may lose his absolute control
over his present deluded followers.
.The whole'popnlation of Utah Terri
tory, in 1870, according to the Erni
ted.states census, was a little over
80,000. That of Salt Lake city was
about 12,800. It will be seen, there
fore, that Youxo. must draw heavily
from other places besides the city of
the faithful, and that he must take
with him a large fraction of the Mor
mon population. We shall put im
plicit faith in the story -f the propos
ed exodus when it is properly con
firmed. But it mast be conceded
that. some of Yoexa's past move ments
look as if he had been contemplating
such an exodus for some time If con
snmated, it will be another confession
that his peculiar doctrines can not
cope successfully with the ordinary
I influences of Christian civilization.,

Tus dearth of coal in England
must soon produce oue of two good
effects on this side of the water.
Either our transatlantic cousins mast
import coal from this country in
larger quantities, .thereby giving us
the 'advantage of another article of
export, or else close their factories.
The latter alternative has just been
pursue& at Bolton, where a large
company has ceased work, thereby
throwing six hundred skilled labor
ers out of employment. These valu
able men cannot long exist without
work, and many of them! must find
their way to oueshores, Where their
experience and skill will prove of
value. Thus England cannot help
herself out of her present difficulty
save by benefitting us. This Will go
hard with our 'gieat manufacturing
rival, but the fault is not ours, nor
will the remedy be of our selection.
We will sell coal or employ the iron
market, just as Britannia chooses.
'Tut annual tirade against the late
legislature is going the rounds of the
press of the State. The general
charges of corruption which are
made at the close of every session
will never work a reform in that
body. The only method by which
any good in that direction can, be
accomplished, is , for the press and
the people in each cou nCy to hold
their representatives to strict ac
countability for their conduct. It is
the duty of every independent jour
nal to keep its-readers posted in re
gard to the conduct of public officers,
meting out praise when they do well,
and not sparing censure for wrong 7
doing. If this course were conscien
tiously pursued bad men would sel
,dom be elected a second time ; but
so long as the innocent and guilty
are classed together, and no distinc
tion made either in praise or censure,
will the guilty go unpunished, and
corruption run rampant..
As evidence of the progress made
in this conntr i r in one particular
branch of indiStrial art during the
first hundred years of 'our nathinal
existence, it may be interesting to
knovi that the whole edition (1200
copies) of Fa.k.Nsun's paper which
probably occupied at / least a whole
day to " run through the press," a.
hundred years ago, could now ,be
printed• in just one minute, at the
Philadelphia Ledger •office. If the
spirits of the departed take ally in
terest in the 'affairs of this mundane
sphere, B. Famm.rs must feel proud
di the advancement the "art pre
servative " ,Img made since his de-.
parture.

was received to-day :
"platters quiet in Louisiana with

escape from The Lava Beds, he did
not believe they would form coalitions

THE BANK OF ENGLAND EORGEI3XES!
NEW Year, April 21.—The recovery
of nearly'a quarter of at milliom of
dollars of United States bonds, which
had been obtained by McDonnell,
Alias-Bidwell, and associates,' in the
late Bank of England foigeries, was
made to-day, the facts concerning
which areas follows:
On the sth of March last a trunk,
said to contain 4 wearing apparel, old
and in use, was delivered at the of
fice of the North Atlantic Express
Company, No. 4 Margate street, Lon
don, by a person calling himself C.
and', addressed to Major
Geo. Matthews, New Tork, to be
kept in bond 1t the express office, 71
Broadway, New York, until -called
for. The trunk was duly forwarded
by the express company, and was
kept in bond by the company until
last Saturday, when a woman, (call
ing herself Mrs Geo. -Matthews,) pre
.sented an order for its delivery at
the express office, duly signcid "Geo.
Mathews."
In the meantime the ="
,connael for
the Bank of England had received
some information in regard to- the
trunk, which led to its detention by
the Company until to-day, when it
was taken possession of, opned and
exAmined, aid found to contain
_a
quantity of wearing apparel;; old and
new; also, two gold watches,_ several
miscellaneous articles, three packages
of United States five-twenty and ten
forty bonds, rolled up in soiled lin
en amounting in all te5220,950. -The
bonds were found to be identical in
class, amounts and numbers with
those advertised by the' Bank of En
gland to have been obtained by the
Bidwell forgers. In the trunk were
also found cards and a plate with the
name. of Geo. Bidwelb a variety of
memoranda, bills, gc.„ showing con
clusively that it had been shipped by
and belonged to him:•-s.
• Out of $300,000 obtained from the
Bank of England by these forgeries,
all but about $30,000 hat now been
recovered.
Gov. ELUTILLNPT is commended by
the honest papers 9f both parties for
his firm and judicious exercise of the
veto power thus far He appears to
be anxious to make a clear record in
this line and wUhope he will stick
to, it. When it is once understood
that, special legialaticw cannot receive
the , endorsement of_ the Executive,
that sort of thing will to . a great ex
tent cease. We give Hartranft
`credit for what he has done so far in
this regard and trust he will do more
of it.-,--Lycoming, Gazette. ,
