NEW BLOOMFIELD, PENN'A.
Tuesday, 2??vember 11, 1873,
Notice to Subscribers.
Subscribers to Tun Times who wish some
olber publicntion and cbomo, can have
dither of the following at tbo prico men
tioned :
Peterson's Magazine for 1874 and
The Times, for $3.75.
The People's Journal, with an en
graving 13 x 19 inches (soe advertise
ment) and The Times, for - - $3.00.
Wood's Household Magazine and
the splendid chromo, YO 6EMITE,
and The Times, for f 2.23.
All the above Magazines are monthly pub
ications. At the recent election in Iowa nearly
very county Treasurer was defeated for
re-election, and many of them seem to be
terribly alarmed at the general overhauling
of books that must follow. A local jour
nal says : " The Jackson County Treasurer
takes time by the forelock, and announces
that 120,000 of the funds in bis keeping
was stolen tbo other night by burglars."
It seems to be the general impression
that there will be no repeal of the con
gressional salary bill. As congress is now
mostly composed of place hunters and poli
ticians, instead of statesmen, their motto
is, " hold on to all you get, and got hold of
all you can." All but two members of the
next congress have already drawn their
.salary for two quarters at the new rate.
elections.
The following may be summed up as the
result of the elections held la.it Tuesday.
In New York the Democrats bad a ma
jority iu the State of about 20,000,aud have
elected enough members of the Legislature
to mnke the Republican majority quite
mall. , , .
Wisconsin has also been carried by the
Democrats, who elected the governor and a
working majority in the legislature.
Massachusetts elects the Republican gov
ernor by about 13,000 majority. General
Banks who run as independent candidate
for the Senate, beat his opponent and is
elected.
In Virginia, the Conservative ticket is
generally elected.
In New Jersey, the Legislature on joint
ballot will be Republican bv a majority of
11.
In Minnesota, the Republican ticket is
elected with the exception of State Treas
urer, for which office the Farmers' ticket
was probably successful. ,
In Kansas, returns from 87 districts give
the Republicans 20 members and the op
position 01. In the Senate the Republicans
have a majority of 30, but on a joint ballot
the opponents have a majority of 20 or 22
Totes.
In Maryland, the Democrats wore gen
erally successful and have a majority in the
State of about 20,000, and in the Legis
lature will have a majority on joint ballot
of over 50.
The New Constitution.
Tho Convention after a year's labor offer
to the citizens of the State the result of
their .deliberations. While not what we
bad a right to expect from the time spent
there are some exceedingly good points.
The whole however has to be voted on,'
either for or against, and consequently
voters must decide whether they think the
good outweighs the defects. In our opin
ion it does. Below wo furnish a synopsis
of the provisions embodied in the constitu
tion. TUB LEGISLATURE.
The House is to consist of not less than
two hundred members, and the Senate of
fifty members. The sessions are to be
Biennial instead of, Annual as at present.
Members are to serve two years and Sen
ators four, and are to receive a fixed salary
not to be changed during the terra for which
they are elected, and shall receivo no ad
ditional pay for serving on committees.
Each county shall be entitled to at least
one member, and additional members for
each seventeen thousand of a population.
Every bill passed must be read three times,
one day io intorvene between each reading,
and the final vote must be taken by yeas
and nays which must be recorded. Most
special legislation is prohibited, and local
or special bills not prohibited must be ad
vertised iu the locality affected, for thirty
days, previous to the introduction of the
bill, Another section prohibits investment
of trust funds by executors, administrators
and guardians iu bonds and stock of any
private corporation. .
.TUB EXECUTIVE.
The term for which the Governor shall
serve is increased to 4 years, and he is inel
igible tore-election for the succeeding term.
A Lieutenant Governor is provided for,
subject to the same provisions, who shall
be president of the Senate. The Govornor
has the power to veto any bill and may
veto any part of an appropriation bill, and
approve the balance. This is a very good
provision.
A Secretary of Internal affairs to serve
four years, an Auditor General for three
years, and a State Treasurer for two years
is also provided for, the two latter not to
be elected for two consecutive terms.
THE JUDICIARY.
The Supreme Court will bo increased
from five to seven judges, whose term of
office will be twenty-one years instead of
fifteen years. Thoy are not eligible to re
election. Provisions are made that all cases of felo
nious homicide and other criminal matters
provided for by law may be removed to the
Supreme Court for review.
Parties, by agreement filed, may iu any
civil case dispense with trial by jury, and
submit the case for the decision of the
court. Counties containing 40,000 inhab
tants will constitute a separate judicial
district. The judges are required to audit
and settle administrators' and decedonts'
accounts free of cost to the parties.
Whenever two judges of tho Supreme
Court are to be chosen for the same term of
service, each voter shall vote for one only ;
and when three are chosen, be shall vote
for no more than two, and candidates high
est in vote shall be declared elected.
BUPFHAOE AND ELECTION.
The general election is to be changed
from the second Tuesday in October to the
first Tuesday in November.
The local election is to be held on the
third Tuesday of February, at which
the city, ward, borough and township offi
cers are to bo elected. The article requires
a residence of each voter of at least two
months in the district to entitle him to a
vote, and in the case of foreigners thoy
must be citizens of the United Status for
one month to entitle them to the elective
franchise. Every ballot shall be numbered
and recorded on the list of voters opposite
the name of the elector.
TAXATION AND FINANCE.
This article requires that all taxation
shall be uniform upon the samo class of
subjects, and shall be levied and collected
under general laws.
It provides that the legislature shall con
tinue and maintain the sinking fund, pay
the interest of the public debt, and annual
ly reduce the principal not less than $250,
000. It prohibits the use of the sinking
fund for any other purpose. It declares
the making of capital out of the public
moneys by any of the officers of the State
or member of the goneral assembly a crim
inal offence.
EDUCATION.
The legislature Is required to maintain a
thorough and efficient system of public
schools, and appropriate f 1, 000,000 annu
ally for that purpose. Women over twenty
one years of age are eligible for any office
under the school laws. -
COUNTY OFFICES.
County officers are to be salaried, and
the fees whioh thoy are authorized to re
ceive shall be paid into the state or county
treasury. Provisions are made for the
eloction of three county commissioners and
three auditors ou the limited vote system,
giving the minority a represontution in
each board.
' ' ' RAILROADS AND CANALS.
This article authorizes any association or
corporation to organize for tho purpose of
constructing and operating a railroad or
canal between any points in this state. It
prohibits railroad and canal ' companies
from making any undue or unreasonable
discrimination in freight in the same direc
tion to an amount not exceeding the charge
to a more distant station.
It also prohibits the consolidations of
railroads and canals with competing lines
by lease or otherwise, and will not allow
any company doing the business of a com
mon carrier to engago in any other business,
or hold or to acquire lands.
No officer of any railroad or canal com
pany shall furnish materials or supplies for
such company ; and no company shall
make any discrimination in charges or
facilities between transportation companies
and individuals. No free passes shall be
granted except to officers and employees of
such company, and no passenger railway
iu any city shall extend or construct their
road without the consent of the local au
thorities. F2T Philip B. Harvard, of Jamaica, was
shot and instantly killed last week, by one
of two men who were gunning ou bis laud,
It is supposed that, seeing them trespassing
on his property, be ordered them to leave,
as bis wife saw him from the bouse talking
to them, when one raised his gun, took
deliberate aim at Harvard, and fired twice.
The men escaped iu a wagon. Mrs. Har
vard ran to her husband, but be was dead.
James Lennon has been arrested for the
murder.
IW The Hudson couuty, N. J., Grand
Jury have presented the Police Commis
sioners of Jersey City and Hobokeu for
failure to close the liquor saloous on Sun
days, and the newsmen who sell immoral
sheets published in New York.
Wade, the Murderer.
Probably the hardost specimen of hu
manity, was Wade, the murderer of the
McBrlde family, who Wo hung at Wil-
liamsport, 6n Thursday last. The Sheriff
made a botch of the execution, tho rope
slipped the first time, dropping the crim
inal to the ground, necessitating the hang
ing of him the second time. Perhaps as
ho committed two murders, the Sheriff
thought ho ought to be hung twice. On
Hie Monday night preceding the execution
the officer on watch Imagined that thoro
was something peculiar in the appearance
of the iron collar around Wade's neck, and
he took occasion to engage Wade in con
versation, and looked sharply, when he was
confirmed in his impression by finding that
the collar bad been filed entirely through,
being in such a condition that it could at
any time be removed with ease. A new
collar was procured and placed on the pris
oner, and a search of the cell was instituted
which resulted in finding a pocket knife
socreted in the wall. It was also found
that he had a roll of money in bis mouth
which he was vigorously chewing, with the
apparent intension of swallowing it. Great
efforts were necessary to force him to dis
gorge, and it was not until he had been
choked vigorously that the money was ex
tricated therefrom. The roll contained
fifty dollars in greenbacks, a fifty dollar bill
and several small bills. The Impression is
that Wade was saving the money to use in
the event of his escape, and that with the
knife he proposed taking his life before the
day of execution, in case his efforts at es
cape Bbould prove unsuccessful. He ap
peared quite crestfallen at being thwarted
in his designs and indulged in many ex
pressions of chagrin at the plight in which
he found himself. It has since been learn
ed the knife and file wore supplied to Wade
by tho girl Lillie Mitchell, who was con
fined iu the jail for throwing vitriol.
A New use for Wash-women.
A woman living in Patchogue, L. I., has
charged her husband with instigating his
servant-girl to poison her. The girl, how
ever, repented, and informed her mistress
before it was too late that her tea was poi
soned. Unwilling to give entire credence
to so terrible a story, the woman tested the
properties of the tea by trying its effects on
a casual washer-woman, whom she induced
to drink some of it. The washer-woman,
being mado violently ill, all doubt was at
an end, and the outraged wife immediately
took measures to bring her husband to
justice. The story certainly is a remark
able ono, and the presence of mind of
the woman in making her experiment to
test the poisonous nature of the tea is quite
unprecedented. Sho has undoubtedly add
ed to the uses of washer-women.

BIATIC CHOLERA IN CHINA.
AlmoHt Every Cno Cured Willi
PAIN -KILLER I
Dear Sirs : During a residence of some ten
years in Blum and China, as a missionary. I
found your Pain-Klllcra most valuable remedy
for that fearful scourge the Cholera.
In administering the medicine I found It
most effectual to give a tea-spoonful of Fain
Killer In a gill of hot water sweetened with
sugar , then after about fifteen minutes, begin
to give about a lablcspoonful of the new mixt
ure every few minutes until relief was obtained.
Apply hot applications to the extremities.
Bathe the stomach with tho Fain-Killer, clear,
and rub tho limbs briskly. Of those who had
the Cholera, and took the medicine faithfully,
In the way Btated above, eight out often recov
ered. Rev. It. TELFORD, Missionary In China.
DeakSius: During a long residence Iu
China I have used your valuable- Paln-Killer,
both in my own family and among the Chinese,
and have found It a most excellent medicine
In the summers of 18U3 and 1863, while resid
ing In Shaughal, I found It an almost certain
cure for cholera, If used in time. Indeed, us
ing It in a great many instances, I rU not re
member fulling In a single case. For three
years I have been residing In this place, more
than fifty miles from a physician, and have
been obliged often to fall upon my own resour
ces In cases of sickness. The Chinese come to
ns In great numbers for medicine and advice.
Though without medical knowledge ourselves,
the few simple remedies we can command are
so much In advance even of their physicians,
that we have almost dally applications. We
allow them to como,because It brings ns In con
tact with them and opens a door of usefulness.
In diarrhea, colic, vomiting, cholera, coughs,
etc., your Pain-Killer has been my chief med
icine. Yours, very truly.
Kev.T. P. CRAWFORD, Tungchow, China.
Those using Paln-Killer should strictly ob
serve the following directions i
At the commencement of the disease, take, a
teaspoon ful of Paln-Killer, In sugar and water,
and then bathe freely across tho stomach and
bowels with the Paln-Killer clear. Bbould the
diarrhea and cramp continue, repast the dose
every fifteen minutes. In this way the dread
ful scourge may be checked and tliw patient re
lived In the course of a few hours.
N. B. Be sure and get the genuine article i
and it is recommended by those who have used
the Faln-Klller for the cholera, thai In extreme
cases the patient take two (or more) tenspoou
fuls Instead of one.
The PAIN-KILLER Is sold by all the Drug
gists and Dealers In Family Medicines.
