NEW BLOOMFIELD, PENN'A.
Tuesday, October 4, 1S70.
The funehal obsequiks of Admiral
Farragut took place in New York on Fri
day last, and notwithstanding a heavy
rain prevailed, many thouKiud persons
joined in paying this last token of respect
to a brave old officer.
Ex-Governou Packer died in Wil
liauisport, on last Tuesday. He was, at
the time of his death 64 years of age.
During his lifo he had occupied many
positions of honor and trust, and in his
death the State loses one of her ablest cit
izens. Advanced sheets of the testimony
taken before the Justices of the Supreme
Court of North Carolina, in relation to
the outrages recently perpetrated in that
State, have been received. As the results
of this investigation four persons have
been committed for murder and forty-one
others for high crimes.
The News from Europe shows the
Prussians are still determined upon the
capture of Paris. The wholo attention of
the army now seems to be given to that
point. The-city is entirely cutoff, though
rumors on Saturday last said that the
French had made an attack on the be
siegers and had succeeded in beating the
Prussians and forcing them to withdraw
their lines in one place for several miles.
The city of Strasbourg has finally been
surrendered, the garrison and all the ma
terials of war falling into the hands of
the Prussians. Prospects of peace are
now apparently further off than ever, as
Favre has returned from his mission to
Bismark and to Russia, without accom
plishing anything. Peace now probably
will only come with the total defeat of
the Prussians, or the capture of Paris by
them.
Amono leading partizans, considerable
fault is found with Secretary Cox,because
he has refused to allow the clerks in his
department to be taxed for political pur
poses. He has decided objections to the
compulsory method of obtaining " dona
tions." for party aid. Though political
demagogues' and those who live on what
is obtained in this manner, may find fault
with the honorable Secretary, wo think
the majority of the pcoplo will say his
course 'is one worthy to be followed by
the heads of other departments. If
these clerks receive more salary than
they are entitled to, their salaries should
be reduced and the government expenses
thereby lessened ; but if they receive on
ly what they earn, they are entitled to
dispose of it as they may see fit, without
the dictation of these political highway
men. Fraudulent Registration.
A more infamous attempt to pollute
the ballot-box and destroy the last chance
of an honest election being had by the
the citizens of Philadelphia, was never
discovered than that which was partially
heard yesterday before United States
Commissioner Craig Biddle, of which
full particulars will be found in our local
columns this morning.
From the evidence it will bo seen that
at one house ten persons are registered
who do not live at that house,
At another house six persons were
registered who did not live at it.
As to the prisoner, it is imposwble to
ascertain how often or at how many
places ho has been registered under diff
erent names.
But enough is proved to show that
thousands of names may have been fraud
ulently registered by different parties,
and that unless they are detected the
coming election will simply express a
fraud and not the will of the people. To
this outrage a policeman proves to be a
party, J'h!ladclj)h!a Inquirer,
Troubles of Congressmen.
The following remarks a part of which
we copy fromihe Mercantile Journal
of New York will explain some of the
troubles of Members of Congress and
the reasons for the vacillation as often
displayed in their actiousand votes.
Many persons speak of Congress as a
ruling power. This is a mistake. It is
made up of men who eru their living
by carrying out the wishes of those who
send them : first, the wishes of those who
lead that majority to nominate them for
choice. These being met, their personal
desires are gratified as much as practica
ble, often under cover of seeming or real
fulfilment of those already named. Some
few members like Sumner, the late
Thaddeus Stevens, Butler, Bayard, Brooks
and Cox cither care nothing for re
election, or know themselves sure of
re nomination where this is equivalent to
election. They are bold and dashing,
following their own judgement, and lead
ing their fellows. But most members
arc by no means sure of either, and spend
much time endeavoring to secure both.
They try to steer such a course as will be
acceptable to the mass of their constitu
ents. To find out what the latter want
each member takes the newspaper of his
locality. lie also has correspondents
scattered about that region, who inform
him of the state of feeling. By hit
judgment, founded ou such information
his vole and voice are governed. On a
few largo matters, such as reconstruction
and reduction of taxes, the voters have
strong positive wishes. They have heard
these things talked of till they feel that
they understand them. The number of
these subjects is growing, and this growth
it is which makes representatives cau
tious. On other matters the trusteeship
of the delegate comes into play. The
voters, having chosen him, say, " We
elected him because he isfamilliar with
public affairs. We sent him to do cer
tain things if he can. Ou other mat
ters he must use his own judgment, and
give an account to us."
The first, or long session of "each Con
gress, begins on the first Monday in De
cember following the elections for mem
bers. It lasis sometimes through the
following Summer, nrA in the Fall, elec
tions for Representatives, and for Legisla
tures which choose Senators, take place.
Thus members must face their constitu
ents at once. Hence this session like
that last held is given mostly to discus
sion to feeling the public pulse and
little definite work is done.
Tho short sessiou, which begins on the
first Monday in December after these
elections, is given to work. Little is
done, though, before the middle of Janu
ary, but to introduce bills, compare notes
and lay plans. So many Senators and
Representatives are interested in the Sen
atorial elections, which take place at tho
last named time, that committees cannot
be worked, and even a quorum is hard to
get ; so a long recess is taken over the
holidays. When the result of all elec
tions is fixed, so that every man knows
his fate, legislation is crowded through.
As no more election will take place for
about eighteen months, all feel safe in
carrying their personal views and ob
jects if they can.
Darin? Robbery In Philadelphia.
Sometime between Saturday night and
Monday of last week the store of Messrs.
Besson, and Co., No. 918 Chestnut street,
was entered from the rear on Sansom
street, and robbed of goods to the value
of $7000 or $8000, although a smaller
valuation has been announced.
Tho burglars got into the building
through an unoccupied house adjoining
on hansom street; and all hough there are
two private watchmen engaged on tho
square, the thieves operated from a point
trom which they could not bo observed.
Access was had through the second story
of the back building, but after getting in,
sundry objections were met with in get
ting into the store by way of heavy oaken
doors, which were, however, dexterously
opeued with a "jimmy," aud the goods
put up and carried off in safety.
They consisted of about one hundred
dozen of Jouvin's kid gloves, quantities of
silks, poplins, and other valuable mer
chandise. Many of these were taken
from the bulk window, and strange to re
late, a bundle containing about $300
worth of goods was left laying on the
counter, as if forgotten by the thieves, or
what is still more probablo, as if they had
already more with them than they were
able to carry.
The goods were recovered the day fol
lowing at a drinking saloon in tho upper
part of tho city.
A Murder Troved by a Gun-Wad.'
The circumstances attendiua tho trial
and conviction of the murderer.Skasrgs.aro
interesting. R. V. Richardson, the mur
dered man, had been a brigadier-general
in the Confederate army, and an attorney
at law in civil life. His abilities were
above the average, and such was the
blamelcssncss of his life and character
that it was not supposed that he had an
enemy except a former business partner,
who has left the country and is suspec
ted of having instigated the murder.
On the Gth of January last, ns Richard
son was sitting on tho piazza of a hotel
he was shot by two men from behind a
loaded wagon standing in the yard. The
murderers were not recognised except by
a negro; and, although Skaggsand Frank
Clark were arrested on his statement,
their lives, in that State, would hardly
have been greatly jeopardized by negro
testimony of so vacuo a character, had
no evidence of a corroborative nature
been added to convince the minds of the
jury. J. he wadding ot the gun which
had killed Richardson was picked up
and carefully preserved. It was a roughly
torn picco of aCenuan newspaper. Sub
sequently, when Skagg's house was
searched a double-barreled gun was found
only one barrel of which was loaded.
The load being drawn the wad was found
to bo a piece of a German newspaper,
which fitted on one of its sides to the
piece which had been found in the hotel
yard. This was conclusive, and Skaggs
was adjudged J worthy to suffer the se
verest penalty known to the law. Clark,
his alleged companion in guilt, is to be
tried during the present month, and the
identification by the negro already so
remarkably corroborated in one ease
will bo quite likely to prove fatal, since
the only other witness to the deed is dead.
Accident on the Lebanon Valley R. R.
Yesterday as one of tho freight trains
over the Philadelphia and Reading and
Lebanon Valley railroads, was coming
west, an axle of one of the Cumberland
Valley cars broke when the train was
about 4 miles east of this city, and in less
time than it will take to read this sentence
twenty cars of the long train were more
or less wrecked, many of the number
being thrown from the track, and several
shattered into fragmeuts. Mr. Josoph
Johnston, of Norristown, standing on a
car, just back of the one that did the
hurm, saw the wheel of the Cumberland
Valley car shoot out from its place, and
from that moment had no recollection of
anything but what appeared the most
unearthly uoise and confusion, uut.il the
destruction was all over. When taken
from the wreck he was found to bo very
slightly injured ; and we learned this
morning that ho proposed to return to
Norristown this afternoon.- The only
part of the car left whole, on which he
was standing, was the roof. The dam
age to the track was immediately repair
ed, and in a few hours trains were run-
niug as usual. Ilarriluri Tdeijroph of
