4 NEW BLOOMFIELD, TENN'A. v Tuesday, January 28, 1873. Gov. IIartranpt, has appointed Col. M. 8. Quay, of Beaver county, as Secretary of State, and Samuel F. Dimmick, of Wayne county, ns Attorney General. The United States Senate have passed the bill repealing the " Franking Privilege" but amended it slightly so that it has to go back to the House for concurrence. It is probable the bill will now become a law. If passed it goes into effect July 1st, 1873. Tite Constitutional Convention have passed a section changing election days. Tho section provides that State, Con gressional and Presidential elections shall take place in November, and all municipal and township elections, on the third Tues day in February. s The President has issued an order for bidding Federal Office holders to hold office under state or local authority, but says the order has no reference to officers of School Hoards, or Justices of the Peace. After the 4th of March, Federal offices filled by those holding office in conflict with this erder will be considered vacant. TH2 INAUGURAL ADDRESS. The following Is a full abstract of Gov, Hartranft's address to the Legislature: After returning thanks for his election the Governor says: My views are in accord with tho general policy of the State administration for the past few years, although I believo some changes might be made for the public good, and to these I Bhall briefly allude. Having been closely connected with the finances of the State since 1800, I speak knowingly when I say that tho revenuoi have boen faithfully collected, extravagant appropria tions have been avoided, taxation has been equalized by the repeal of the most burden. some taxes, and by strict economy and good management, the publio debt has been largely reduced. The polioy of paying off the entire indebtedness of the State, is, I believe, fully endorsed by the tux payers, and it shall be my aim to adhere to that policy. In every part of this Commonwealth are found rich deposits of minerals. To make them available and productive should be our earnest aire, and shall receive a large share of my attention. It can alone be done by the intelligent employment of labor and capital. This is an object of immense interest, and can best be subserved by first providing the highest possible knowl edge of the character and location of the most valuablo minerals. Money willalways seek the highest rates the security being tho same, and for that reason it now gravitates to neighboring States, where the legal rates are higher than our own. If we cannot remove our restrictions and make money as free as any other commodity, at least let us per mit the same rate as allowed, by other States, and thereby retain it within our borders. It will be my pleasure, as it is my duty, to have a watchful care over the school system of our State. It is sad to think that there are 75,000 children in the State, who do not, whether prevented by the necessities of their parents, or other wise, attend and receive the blessed privi leges of these schools. Tho Governor recommends industrial schools for soldiers' orphans, and the crea tion of a more efficient militia. , To impose heavy foes and tuxes upon in surance companies incorporated in other States, and doing business in this, re-acts upon the home companies, by reason of the reciprocal laws of those States. If it is deemed desirable to protect and foster the home insurance interest, already too long neglected, let uniform laws be enacted. In refering to the Constitutional Conven tion the Governor says: " To those , gentle men we confidently refer the question of constitutional reform, in the belief that out of their combined integrity and wisdom will spring such measure as will conduce to our safety, happiness and prosperity. There is one paramount and . growing evil, however, to which, by ray oath as your Executive, and my sense of duty as citizen, I am constrained to ask your se rious attention. I alluded te special leg islatioo or the abuse of legislative power, to further particular local and private euds to the exclusion of publio business. I cannot condemn this evil in language too strong, aud it seems but the part of common sense, that some positive restriction be put upon legislation that will confine it to publio oh- jocts and raako its enactmonts uniform an general." The Governor is opposed to being sad- died with the pardoning power. He thinks it is a trying and dangerous one to invest In any individual. Any provision that would relieve the oonsoienoe and divide the respon- ibillty of the exercise of this power, must surely commend Itself to the good sense of our people. There is a popular demand, too, that the Sinking Fund, containing bonds that rep resent the proceeds of the sale of publio works, and which are applicable alone to the payment of the publio debt, shall be kept sacred for the purpose to which it is dodicated. In view of the prospect that the Legisla ture will, after this session, be divested of its power to legislate for special objects, a popular apprehension is prevailing that in terested parties will push their schemes at this juncture and make extraordinary ef forts to control legislation. I deem it my duty to impress upon the Legislature the necessity of examining with more than or dinary care every measure submitted for their consideration. In conclusion, His Excellency "asks the support and counsel of all good citizens, and humbly implores the aid and guidance of Hi in who is the Supreme Ruler." Scenes on the River. In the Lancaster paper of the 20th Inst., we find tho following account of the break ing up of tho ice in the Susquehanna: At Marietta the ice was forced up about four feet, but lowered a short time afterward, and then it commenced to crack and finally it moved off, luckily doing no damage.' To-day the Susquehanna river at Marietta is but very little higher than it usually is. Not so at Safe Harbor, however. At this point there has been a most terrible destruction to property and stock. From all the information wo can gain upon the subject we glean the following facts. Early yosterday morning the citizens of Safe Harbor wore awakenod by a roaring noise as of the distant rumbling of thun der. The inhabitants of the place awoke to fiud that tho ice had gorged below Safo Harbor and that the waters were fast ris ing. . Every one looked to his or her safety, In a short while the waters had reached the doors of the houses, which stand a half square away from the banks. About 11 o'clock in tho morning the ice commenced to " back," and we are informed by credible witnesses that it went up the Conestoga as fast as a horse could trot." It reached tho woodon bridge which spans the Cones- toga at Safe Harbor, and picking it up as though it was a straw, it carried it up the creek and sat it down a mile from whero it first stood. Such a scene nover was witnessed before by the inhabitants of Safe Harbor. Back, back, with fearful force, tho mingled ice and water went, and eveu at Rockville, a number of miles dis tant, the water entered tho first story of Daniel Herr's hotel, forcing the occupants to sock refuge in the second story. At some places the ice was thirty feet in height. Eye witnesses say that when the bridge was torn from its foundation there were myriads of rats jumped out into the water, to be crushed and torn to pieces by the crashing, crumbling ice. At Safe Harbor the scene was a terrible one. Here and tliero one would see four men emerging from a house bearing upon their shoulders a setteo, upon which lay a sick man or woman. The invalids all had to be removed. The pier built last sum mer for the bridge of tho Columbia and Port . Deposit railroad was swept away by the ice. ' The greatest fears were entertained by the people of Safe Harbor for those per sons who rosidod upon what is called " House Island," which is situated in the middle of tho Susquehanna. The inhabi tants upon the island wero driven into the second stoiies of the houses, while the stock of sheep, cows, horses, mules and cattle, in fact all tho stock, were drowned or crushed to atom s. Tho ice gorge took place at what is known as Eshleman's Falls, the roughest place on the Susquehanna river. The de struction to property and stock cannot, at the present writing, be estimated. Tliero has been no mail from Safe Harbor yet, and all that we have ascertained in regard to the " gorge" has been given us by par ties who have come frjm near Safe Har bor this morning. Almost Lynched. Sherburne, a married man, who eloped from FUhervillo a few weeks ago with Miss Drew, of FUliervlllo, arrived at Concord last week, in the custody of the Sheriff from Jersey City, at which place the death of the girl occurred a few days ago, under suspicious circumstances, lie was taken to the police station, followed by a large crowd of persona, who had been awaiting his arrival at the depot. On leaving the police station for the Jail, Mr. Drow, fath er of the girl, rushed upon the prisoner and struck him violently in the face and kicked him. Several other persons fell upon him and beat him severoly, and with great difficulty the officers roscued and conveyed bim to jail, whore he awaits ex amination. . , , tV England is having a panlo over' the scarcity of coal, owing to a strike among the miners. Miscellaneous News Items. tyMrs. Rosa Quance and Miss Ida Majers were suffocated by coal gas at Tole do, Ohio. t3T"Throo hundred dollars conscience money was received at the Treasury last week on account of revenue stamps. tW Great excitement prevails in Peru at the discovery of a plot to blow up a train of cars near Lima, in which were President Prado and several officers. All the parties implicated have been arrested. dfCambridge has just had an excite- ment in the finding of some bloody clothes on the ice, which were supposed to be the clew to a murder; but since they have been traced to a . small-pox patient thoy haven't roused so much popular attention. 1ST A Dorchester woman has been three times married. Her first husband was Robb, tho second Bobbins, and the third Robbinson. Tho same door-plate has served for all three, and the question now is what extended name can bo procured to fill out the remaining space on it. tTwo families consisting of two men, their wives and five children, were isolated on the 20th on an island in tho Susquehan na, near Port Deposit, by the ice-gorge and the great flood. All efforts to reach them were unavailing, though their shrieks for assistance were heard a long distance. tW John Newman has died from the effects of injuries received by au explosion ou Monday, the 20th inst., at the " Mer iem," near Ashland, Pennsylvania. After igniting the fuse ho attempted to escape up tho Blope, but slipped and fell back into the jaws of the explosion. ZW A brutal crime is reported from Milo, Maine, whore a young girl but 15 years of ago was outraged by three men, who conveyed her to an unoccupied build ing, after rendering her insensiblo with chloroform. When she awoke sho found her hands and feet frozen by the terrible cold. EST Swine in Hancock county, Maine, are dying of a singular disease, which at tacks its victims in the windpipe and in every case proves fatal in a few minutes; and poultry iu that region is also in a bad way, the local paper assorting that "some times their heads drop off. they flutter around for a few minutes and then expire." t3 A few days ago, at Mr. Thomas Hand's, Port Norris, a eat took advantage of the door of the cook stove being open, to go in tho oven aud lie down. One of the family, not noticing the cat, closed the door and made a fire, literally roasting it, A peculiar smell attracted attention and on opening the door the poor animal was discovered. tWOn the 28th ult., at Fabius township, Davis county , La., John Horn, a boy of 10, who had been habitually beaten by his father on every slight provocation, con cealed himself and shot his father for foar tho latter would find out that the team had run away with tho boy. The boy says ho is ready for the State Prison, for there is no danger of his being used any worse there than at home. Pittsburg, Jan. 23. Last evening, while workmen at Bute in an & Garrison's foundry were moving a ladle filled with molten metal, the crane hooks broke, lotting the iron fall into a bolo which contained some two feet of water, and a terrific explosion followed. Tho roof of the building was carried away, and tliovalls of the houses cracked in that vicinity and had thuir windows badly shattered. Several of the workmen were slightly injured, though none seriously. The damage to tho foun dry will amount to $10,000. ISiiMlnoMrt NotlccM.
