Bergner ts. Thompson.
The Supreme court haa revised the judg
ment of the court of this county in the case
of Georgo Borgnervs.' W. G. Thompson,
which originated as follows : Mr. Bergner
held two judgments amounting to $7,000
against Mr. Thompson and issued an ex
ecution, seizing the furniture of the State
Capital hotel. Meanwhile Mr. Thompson
entered into negotiations with the Penn
sylvania railroad company for the sale of
the City hotel, whioh he then owned, for
120,000. The deed was made out in the
name of the company and the property
transferred to the purchaser. Mr. Bergner
avers that about the same time Kirk
Haines approached him as the authorized
agent of Mr. Thompson and offered to sell
the hotel for $18,000 and 'burn the books.'
The proposition -was accepted with the un
derstanding that the property should be
deeded to the Pennsylvania railroad com
pany. In accordance with the arrange
ments the company paid Mr. Bergner his
judgment, of $7,000. Mr. Thompson al
leges that he had paid Bergner $2,500 on
the judgment, and to recover the difference
he brought suit against him in the Dau
phin county court of common pleas. A
verdict was rendered in plaintiff's favor for
over $1,000. The defendant carried the
case to the supreme court, and that tri
bunal has reversed the judgment of the
court below. JIarritburg Patriot.

THE CTOEENOY QUESTION.
No paper in the United States has done
more to arouse publio sentiment upon the
currency question than the New Tori Mtr.
cantiie Journal. . Recognized by the Mer
chants or the country, as the best Mercan
tile paper published, its opinions have not
only a large eiroulation, but great weight
in the community.
One of the most important principles
laid down by that Journal, and to which we
have previously called attention, is the
proposition as sot forth in the following:
" We hold that in the interehanoeabilily
(at the option of the holder) of National
Paper Monty with Government Bonds
bearing a fined rate of interest, there is a
subtle prinolple that will regulate the
movements of Flnnnrn and
accurately as the motion of the Steam En-

There is no doubt but what the nraRBnt
tiroulating medium is the best . that the
Kation has ever had, but we do not think
the country has yet been educated to ran.
ognize paper as a substitute for cold, as a
basis for a National Currency.
Mr. Wallace P. Groom, the President of
the Journal publishing com pan v has taken
great interest not only in the question of
Finance, but has given much thought to
the subject of political economy and has
offered a premium of $2000, for the best
short work on that subject.
We have received from Mr. Groom a
placard containing his views on theao snh.
jects, and an interesting calculation show
ing ino .increase or capital under different
rates of interest which we have had posted
up in the Post Office in this place, and to
which we invite attention.
A Serious Charge.
Many excellont ladies whom misfortune
has overtaken, accomplished, capable and
worthy to appear in any circle, are earning
their bread by what may be called hard
labor in the departments.
But an element has been brought in
among theso worthy women which is an
outrage upon thorn, a disgrace to the pub
lio service, and a glaring scandal seen of
all men. It is notorious that Senators,
Representatives and officials have imposed
upon the departments loose characters, who
are utterly unfit for suoh employment, and
unworthy to mingle with the ladies who
are contaminated and insulted by their
presence. There is no use of mincing
phrases about a palpable fact, or attempt. :
ing to extenuate it under the cover of mis
takes accidentally made. Members of
Congress have pensioned their mistresses
by scores on the treasury, and the same
thing is true of many of the more impor
tant officers of the departments through
whose agency appointments are made.
Notorious women occupy places of trust
in many of the offices, the heads of which
aspire to moral position, and figure as
churchmen. While widows and orphans
who have just claims upon the gratitude of
the country are rudely turned away without
succor or sympathy, profitable places are
given to prostitutes, who revel in luxury
throng tho avenues, and flaunt their finery
at the publio expense.
- No attempt has been made to eradicate
this evil. It is, on the contrary, protected
and palliated. Remonstrance has been fol
lowed by removal. So that the outrage on
morals, must not only be endured, but the
terrorism of power superadds silence as a
necessity. If this be not infamy in its
worst form, that word has lost all meaning.
And yet it is strictly true, and known to be
true by the President, his Cabinet, his
Bureau chiefs, and Congress, to say no
thing of the community which is a disgust
ed witness of these indecencies. Land

Fearful Tornado in Kansas ,

damage was done to wheat and corn crops
And now Connecticut has spoken against
the back pay steal, as we see that the
House has passed a resolution declaring
that the increase of pay of Congressmen
was unnecessary, aud requesting Senators
and Representatives to labor for the repeal
of the law. The retroactive salary provis
ion is especially condemned, and Senators
and Representatives from this State are
commended for opposing the measure.
