SOUTHERII CHIVALRY.
Instances - f the high-toned -cotir
icsY and chiValric beating for whiCh
the Southern gentleman is distin
old:ghat- are occurring with -remark
able, frequency. The characteristics
of- the well4tred,_ polite,' knightly
members ofd Soutihern society, are
daily manifesting t t hemselves in those
little affairs, in trnich the shot-gun
and the pistol play such .an import
-ant fart. A few specimen cases of
the kind and gentle maunein which
' real 4r fancied wrongs. ar righted
and 4f. the affectionate aid cordial
t ,
manner in Which strangers are wel
comed, are temporarily - attracting
the attention of thoSe who studying
the code of - Southern politeneSs and
braveryior who are desirous of learn
ing what manner of reception{ to ex
pect- should business • 'or pleasure
, cause them to - visit the sunny South.
For- instance: in Georgia ()A l e': man
objects to a business `transaction of
an acquaintance, and In a bland and
quiet manner says " I am going to
kill you:,"--and a-S;a high regard for
veracity: is one:of the distinguishing
marks of a Southern gentleman, he
i mined i ately proceeds to. make 'good
his promise. - In a public building,
in the preseitee'of, oflicialpersonans
the victim . is deliberately shot to
death. It was somewhat in the
nature, to be sure_-of retributive As
pee, as the deceased helonlged 0 a
'family, noted for participation!: in
these neighberly disagreements and
' all the meinbers of which had died
violent deaths and gone to bloody
g raves
But the most charinin„;and friend
ly' manifestation of SOuthern polite
ness al.d cordiality, was in 'I etas,
where twb gentlemen and' a lady
waiting for a railroad train were
.quietle taking luneh, when a person
insulted the lady. The gentlemen,
though unarmed; not appreciating
-the chivalry which caused an armed
bully to insult a lady, at once inter ;
potzil 'to protect' her, whereupon the
high-tonal exhibitor of , Southern
manner, with a pistol in each hand,
said '• Oh, - You _Want sonie of this, do
you'.'"' and immediately shot one of
the remonstrants deal and seriously
•wounded the other. The generosity
and forbearance of the perpetrator of
thi s bloedy tragedy, was shown in
•sparing the life of the lady.
In Kentucky, a gentleman by the'
mime of Buroito, was unfortunate
enough to get into the meshes ofz the
law, He haft . a had case, and was
beaten, and taking his suit to the
Court of Appeals, was again defeat
l. Ills next appeal was to the shot
gun. The arguments employed were
twelve buckshot in each barrel. The
kinfi-hteirt.d and considerate litigant
uiet one Judge in the presence of
some little children, and for that
reason graciously forbore to shoot
himj Not so fortunate, however,
with the other Judge. lie was walk
ing near the Court House when the
defeated suitor invited him to go
with him snipe-hunting. The Judge
politely (led ined,_and was then asked,
- " will you drink with me?" This
courteous request, being also declin
ed, the Judge passed on, wh'en the
twelve buck-shot entered his back,
killing , him instantly. -With that
keen sense of the proprieties which
are usual on such occasionS, in that
section of the country, the assassin
raised the head of the dead man and
putting his hat under it, requested
him, in the most considerate manner,
"there die like a gentleman !" This
sudden taking °if of a Kentucky
Judge we may adt l l; appears to have
awakened a feeling in that State that
it - was carrying things a little too far,
but the ebullition of temper on the
Part of the unsuccessful party at law
is attributed to eccentricity or an ex
mberance-of tliose peculiarities, whia
have gained for Kentucky the-title
of , the "dark and bloody grund."
It is pleasant to note that the fre
quent
recurrence of these unfOrtunate
.occurrences has brought out a few
fmild reproofs from a portion of the
iewspapers of that section of the
.country, and even an intimatiOn that
perhaps the fashion of carrying dead
ly weapons upon the- person which is
so universal, is -not calculated to In
pore the tone of society; nor add to
the security of the citizen: But re
monstrance seems,to stop there, and
the murderer; go at large,'. unWhip
ped of justice." to meet their punish
-plea at the hands of the "aveirker
of blOod." The victims of assassina
tion are revenged by the shot-gun of
relaqns or friends, until these dread
ful fuHs end in the bloody taking, off
and extermination of families - . 'Jus
tide is .paralyzedlife unsafe—law
_ lessness -and violence reign `supreme.
It is this undesirable and barbarous
condition of society which repels the
emigration of those whose capital
and enterprise would bring prosperi
ty. to the South. The law-abiding
• peaceful cit.lien is not attracted to
communities where the use of the
bowie and revolver is the method of
Settling disputes, and where human
life is held in so low an estimate.

TUE ACIII.II. DANGII6II.
A reckless and
. insolent Congress
may not be an unmitigated :evil.
The people may be apprehensive of
trouble to come as they watch the
Congress now in session, but' the
fact of their apprehensiveness isml
ly in favor of the preservation of or-'
der.. Every Democrat Who rises to
his feet in either Chamber, sounds a
note of warning. Arid the people'
will do welt to he..d the warning.
They have had some experience in
reckless Congresses. They know, Or
may, know by reading history, that
danger to a constitutional govern
mentre tb tens from the egislative
branch. t i was always so and it will
r_b
nevee otherwise. Rome endured
her kingsilher come's, and her em
perors, and had there been nothing
else to endure she might have re
tained much of her Prestige to the
present hour. But she was destroy
ed under the lingering tortures in
flicted upon the religion, morals, and
manhood of the State by a reckless
and depraved senate. The tribunes,
created as a cheek to" the insolence of
hereditary ' privilege, and lauded as
the safegdard of popular liberty, soon`
degenerated into a standing conspi
racy against the rights and liberties
of the incorruptible citizen. In the
destruction of states the demagogue
has always figured more prominently
than the crOwned and
_sceptered des
pot. And 'the forum is the hot-bed
of demagogueri. How many of the
majority in the sitting Congress re
ally represent the advanced senti
ment of the country ? Row many
!en who are known in their respec
live loca li ties as men of enterprise',
- -and who z nre devoted to the great
work of iieveloping the resources of
-the country, can -be induced to 'en
dorse thwolicy announced .by the
Democratic leaders in Congress?
Every Kielligent observer is aware
that wheitever he turns his eyes the
backers of these conspirators -are
found among theignorant and the
huckstering politicians. The men
who give tone to business, to public
morals, and thus to civilization, have
already condemned the rashness of
the.Demoeratie leaders.
The assault is not asimany,deelare
against pernicious - legislation:" The
Constitution itse:f /is assailed.• Its
definitions of vested powers are as
sailed. What the organic laic ordain
ed as co-ordinate this Congress de
clares shall be subordinate. The l three
branches of ; the government are de.'
fined as Co-ordinate powers. This
Congteis - deelares that two-of these
powrs should be subordinate to
Congress. .i Each • and 611 of these
powers are 'subordinate to the people
and co-ordinate as to each other;
The limit-of each lugs a clear death-
I Lion in the organic law. Neither is
Independent of the other, and neither
can in any special sense dictate to
the other what its action shall be or
shall not be. The Constitution itself
fixes the boundaries and assigns' the
duties and prerogatives of each. And
never, since the. repnblicbad a begin
jug,' has there been any qnestion
..
rel
ative to those boundaries and prerog ,
atives until now. So clear are the
directory clauses of the Constitution
that a thousand intelligent men
taking up 'the instrument and Work
ing separately, will reach the same
eonllusion as:respects the bounds and
prerogativesiof the three branches_of
•
government.
• Upon what; then, doei this new
pOlicy _of the. Democrats Singe?
SiMply upon the right of COngress
to instruct the Executive as to the
exercise of his prerogatives. But if
Congress ma' rightly set aside the
Constitution so far as it relates to
Executive action, it can set it aside
'altogether. If,Congress can nullify
a single grant lit can. 'nullify every
;rant contained in that instrument.
The right of the President to ap
prove orj disapprove a bill is unques
tionableil But when Congress makes
the exereise of that prerogative a
Matter f reward or punishment

rates, violent revolution. If Congress
may coerce the President it may also
coerce the Supreme Judiciary.
Should a majority in Congress desire
to set aside a law it could . sayto the
Court---" declare the, law to be un
constitutional or we will withhold the
appropriations necessary to carry ort
the business of •yOur broach of the
government." It .might, say to the
President—" appoint the persons we
designate to foreign missions and
and consulates, or we will withhold
the appropriations for - diplomatic
Service." This would establish Con
gress as a complex dictatorship, `o pr
form of government would be changbd
without consulting the people, aid
there would be an end of the repttb
lic. It is for the people to say wheth
er they will submit, to such uaurps=
tion or not. They are competent to
change the form of their government
at any time. They can, if they choose,
establish a monarchy.
Tut New York Times publishes
ever thirty columns of dispatches
purporting to give the sentiments of
the people of many localities in every
State of the Union relative to the
candidates of the two political par-
ties fur President in 1880. The dis
patches come from one hundred and
seventy different correspondents;
and the Times conpludes: "They point
unmistakably to' the nomination of
General GRANT by the Republicans,
and of:Mr. TunEs by the Democrats.
The vest preponderance of Republi.
can sentiment in faror of General
GRANT leaves all other candidates
hopelessly in the tear. Many.Repgb-
Rotiii , who are personally opposed
to his nomination confess that his
name is almost the only one, men
'loped, in their vicinity. It will be

and that Messrs WASIIRGRE, GAR
FIELD, SDERMAN, CONE.LIN, EDIIVEDS
and CUAiDLER follow in the order
named. The Democrats in 68 of the
157 districts prefer TILDEN; TUVE,-
mix comes next with 23: districts,
BAYARD with 11, and HENDRICKS rind
Ifixcocx bring up the mar. TILDEN,
if the Pemocratic convention were
held to-morrow, seems sure of the
votes of not less 'than 21 of the 38
States."
Tut: result of the recenti elections
hai frightened the timid leaders of
the i bemocracy as foteshadoling the
inevitable defeat that awaits that
party when the country shall
thoroughly awakened as to, their
schemes and aroused to the necessity
for thwarting them. So Mr. Surnass
(late vice-President of the Confed
erate States) comes forward iu the
Democratic, caucus .with a series of
resolutions, well-worded and filled
with fair protestatittns of good in
tentions, but which will fail to satis
fy the people, when put in contrast
with the acts or the majority of Con
gress., The attempt of Mr. STEPUENS
to stay the rising tide of popular
feeling, by promises and professions
will not answer. The bitter fruits .
-of democratic misrule with remain.
The evidences of bull-dozing, oppres
sion and wrong are too manifest, to
be covered up by a few - pretentious
sentences. By their fruits ye shall
know them—and the fruits of Dem
ocratic rule have becii
bl9ixished and anarchy in the past,
and in the present.an attempt to up
set the prerogative of the executive,
alid a determination to stop the
'govermental machines ; unless their
demands are complied with.'
Tins settling of the Presidential
nomination two years in advance, is
all - guess-work, and a harmless an
nouncement- for newspaper corres
pondents and editors. It is about
as reliable as the weather predictions
in an almanac. Candidates for the
Presidency are made and unmade
with remarkable facility, and events
still in the womb of the future may,
and Probably will, determine who
shall :he the Republican candidate.
At present, the attitude of the South
and the arrogant and domineering
dispDSition manifdsted in Congress,
has a tendency to bring protrienently
foriard the general , who conquered
the Rebellion, and as President held
in fear and awe of the government,
the lawless. spirit of the Southern
marauders. But doubtfully before
the Convention shall assemble, the
inexorable logic of events will bring
prominently forward some Republi
can whose names - will be a tower of
strength in the caucus.
THE Life Insurance ! Companies are
not adding to the public confidence
in their fair dealing by their attempts
to evade the payment of the policies
held by Col. DWIGHT, of Bingham
ton. i (Though the amount of insur
ance was large there is no reason to
believe that his death was not brought
about from natural causes. The latest
feature of the case. is the application
for an exhumation of the body, for:
further examination. The Companies
who are refusing settlement, should
be carefully and Severely iet'alone by
those who wish to seeure• any return
for the premuims paid. It is a very
poor inducement for 'insuring life at
a heavy cost, if the. Insurance Com
panies are to throw every possible
obstacle in the way of payment to
the family of the insured after his
decease. So,in regard to Fire Insnr
&nee ; thefirst inquiry of the insured,
should be as to the liberality and
fairness of the Company in settling
and paying losses.
, WE remember very distinctly, the
holy honor and virtuous indignation
with which our Democratic friends
in this county have always regarded
the interference (as they termed it)
of the Judiciary in politics, denounc
ing it as "soiling the ermine," ete ,
etc. But now we see it stated that
Judge ORVIE, of Bellefonte, is- con
ducting the, contested election case
for Governo CcattN---and that he
has - 4 - rilived k Washington, and in
terviewed the members of the Elec
tion Committee. Of course. we shall
hear from the Democratic organs, a
howl of rithteous - rebuke at this
unseemlyaction on the part of Judge
OEVIS!

Tim significance of the Republican

enough to make even a Democrat
think.

cal in character, were passed on second
reading.
The session of the House on Monday
evening. was devoted - almost endrelY to
the consideration and passage, on *cond
reading, of an act in relation to be col
lection of delinquent taxes in the city of
Philadelphia. The bill prepped by the
stationery investigation committee, which
is intended to correctabusee in the pres
ent system of furnishing stationery, etc.,
was also passed second seeding.
The first half hour of the session of the
&nate on Tuesday, as occupied in the
presentation of petitions and remonstiau
cm- A somewhat new feature in this line
was introduca'hy the . re senting of nu
merous petitions fro n citizens of New
York, New .terser and • ode Island, in,
favor of the passage of the bill exempting
those poisons who observe the seventh
day oaths Sabbath from the penalties of
the leW of 1794.
A bill was introduced which provides
that no person shall be eligible to the of- .
flee of District Attorney unless be has
been a practicing attorney for three years,
and has resided in the proper county for
one year. This may be a proper enough
bill, but It comes in at rather a late day
to stand much of a show for getting
through.. .
Senator Jackson, of Sullivan, offered a
resolution directing that the bill provid
ing forthe-detachment of the counties of
Lycosping, Tioga, Colombia and Sullivan,
from the Middle Penitentiary District,
which has been reported from the Finance

tion, be printed and pla upon the cal
ender. This proposition elicited consid
erable discs:salon, being fawned by . Sena
tors Davies and Oazzam, the for.
mer gentleman speaking at some
length, with his usual force and effect.
The resolution was adOted," yeas, 40 ;
nays, 4. When this lilt tomes up, if the
indications are favorable for its passage,
it will probably be amended to include'
Bradford County..' In the meantime the
people there will be afforded an opportn
nitito let their wishes in regard - to.it be
known through the medium of letters and
petitions: It is alleged that the convey
ing of prisonens from tbe northern. tier of
counties to Hatitingdon will be attended
with largely increased danger and ex

"It would be a Source of great relief to
the Treasurer if he could pay them, and
he begs leave to suggest the propriety of

A special session of tb'e Senate on 'ftmi
day afternoon, was devoted to the consid
eration and discussion of an act to define
and punish tramps, which had passed the
_Haft some time Ago. - A number of
prominent Senators opposed the bill in its
present shape, considering it entireix too
severe in its provisions. Among these
were Senators Davies, who made estrum
argument nal* this great injustice
of sending an unfortunate man. who
might be honestly looking for work, to
the penitentiary for three years. The bill
was not disposed of.'
Among the bilis reported from commit
tee in the Rouse on Tuesday, were joint
resolutions providing. for the appointment
of commissioners to represent the State
at the International exhibitions to be held
at . Mexico Melbourne and Australia, with
arnendmentsstriking obit the clause sp
propriatitig money fori the payment of
their expenses._The number ofgentlemen
willing to sery as commissioners will not

bad not been stricken out. .
, - Among the bills passed finally in the
House, on Tuesday, were the following ;
An act 'to encourage the planting of
trees along the roadsides in this State,
which allows an abatement of one dollar

distances as the la* prescribes.
A supplement to the-act regulating the

A joint resolution providing for 6,000
additional copies -of Smulpir
.11and Book,
passed the House finally on Tuesday af
ternoon, and was sent to 'the Senate for
concurrences. This is the most useful
document or book printed by order of the
Legislature, and the demad for it .among
the people is steadily increasing. Sena
tors and members are in daily receipt of
letters from their constituents asking - to,
be supplied with copies of it. A great
deal of Money is wasted, here on useless
printing, but whas is paid out fee'Lland
Book is judiciously invested.
An act providing for the children .of de
ceased or permanently disabled soldiers
who have met death accidentally, or who
have in the same manner been perma
nently disabled while engaged at a lawful
pursuit, or who have , died from natural
causes and are now in destitute circum
stances, which provides that said children
shall be admitted to the soldiers' orphan
school on the' same conditions as the or
phans of deceased soldiers and sailors are
now admitted, was discussed at consider
able length in the House, on Tuesday af
tertoon, but was not disposed of.

bill to encourage the planting of trees
along roadsides was reported affirmatively.
Two other bills were also introduced

coming up subsequently, during the morn
ing, on final passage a vote was taken
without debate, when it - was again de
feated, yeas 21 ; nays, 24 ; Mr. Davies
voting in the affirmative. This winds up
the business for this sessioh, and it is a
subject for congratulation that the wrang
ling upon the subject is at last brought to
an end. The Judges,ilt is to be presumed,
will continueto get their salaries as they
have been getting them, under the direc
tion of the, Attorney General, without
anyspecial4w.
Senator per, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Finance, moved a reconsidera
tion of the vote by, which the House Mee- -
can pension bill had passed the day previ

ary, 1878. The motion was 'agreed to,

Mr. Colborn,thought this matter should

lore moved to indefinitely postpone the
whole sub; ct, which was agreed to by a
vote Of yeas, 103 ; nays, 96. The mem

Mr.\Wolfe said that in order to clear
thewayfor oth r legislation and to relieve
the House from the further consideration
'of this bill, ho moved to reconsider the'
vote by which this bill was postponed,
and hoped that all who 'were opposed to
the bill, would \ vote against reconsidera
tion.
During these "proceedings there was
considerable confusion and excitement,
but after some sharp debate between
Messri. Wolfe, of Union, and Long, of
Allegheny, in which the former gentle
man charged that money had been offered .
to at least two members for their votes
for the riot bill, a metioninade by the
latter to postpone for the present the mo

bill was postponed, was carried ,by. a vote

that they 'will be able to defeat any legis

The next bill in order on the House
calendar of second reading bills, was the
act providing that the State assume the
losses sustained by the rebel raids during
the war, to' the amount of $2,6A000
known as the border-raid bill. This pass-:,

36 nays. On this vote the name of Mr.
