The massive and elegant Temple of the Grand Lodge of Masons of New York will be dedicated on the 2d of June.— Many prominent personages, both foreign and American, will be present, during the exercises All the railways centering in Istew York city are using every effort to accommodate the many, as regards speed and loaf fare, that intend to visit the City during the-dedicatory exercises designed to make one of the most memorable events in Masonic history./ The one hundred and- twenty—fifth an niversary of the birth of Stephen Girard was appropriately celebrated, Friday last, by the graduates and inmates of the noble institution he founded in Philadelphia.— Two notable addresses were delivered during the day by members of the alu— mni, both of whom took for their text the attempt not yet wholly abandoned although is has been defeated, to divide the splendid grounds of the college, and destroy its appearance sod propositions, by openiti Prrtnin the of a few land speculators. The Pit 4 shure Gommercial takes no stock in the assumption that President Grant doesn't want a re-nomination, and that his mulish reticence is explained by a desire not to compromise his dignity by refusing to have a thing nobody is dis— posed to offer him. It says : "We no tice that the journals that are the livliest in pooh-poohing the. idea that the Presi dent has. any designs for running for a third time, are very prompt to quote Sen• ator Sargent's assurance, which he alleg es to have received from the President himself, that Gen. Grant has no such in tention. If the President can convey this assurance to Senator Sarvnt, why cannot lie, as well, convey...it to the peo ple generally ? What is phe difference between communicating iiith him, and the public, which makes the one proper and the other improper ? And if the idea that the President ever entertained any such purpose, is ridiculous, where the need of lugging in Senator Sargent to dispel it ?" It is a little singular that a proposition advocating, even negatively, the right to take human life should appear ins relig ious paper. But the Congregationalist, of March 11, has an article on this subject, in which the writer advocates the opinion, that a time may came when a right to take human life will be conceded in some cases. He instances incurable idiots ; victims of accidents, whose death is only' a question of time, and those affected with diseases, accompanied by great suf— fering beyond the power of pnysicians to alleviate, as some of the possible sacri (ices on the alter of human extermina tion. • Startling as the idea is to contem— plate!it seems to be urged on the purest grotMds—a desire to save suffering where it cannot be mitigated. It can never be regarded with much favor, however, sim ply because the power to take human life, even when surrounded by all the safe— guards of law is one that no people jeal— ous of their liberties will concede. The reformer, if such he means to be, is a century or two ahead of his time. CONSTABULARY SCHOOL LAWS. The attempt of the political tricksters and school power centralists of the state, tailed to l l precipitate a constabulary sys tem of school tyrrany upon the people of this state. We now find that the system is becoming unpopular with its own recent advocates. The School Journal edited by State Superintendent Wickersham, is getting upon the popular wave and says : "Nowhere in this country does com pulsory education in the European sense, meet with much success. Laws impos ing fines and imprisonment upon per sons who neglect or refuse to send their children to school are virtually a dead letter in every state where they have been enacted. We do not regret this; we rather rejoice at it. We desire to see the problem of universal education solv ed in America upon Repulican principles. We believe it can 'be. Should the great experiment fail we shall then despair of the success of free institutions. From such reflection on the subject we are sat idled that the centre of life in a republic - .xists in the system it provides for the education of the people. Fashion this titer the, manner of a despotism and it vill sooner or later work the overthrow If freedom and piace a king on the throne. In saying this let no one accuse ;is of desiring a single , American child to ;row up in ignorence. We recognize the vil of non-attendance at .school ; but . re think it can . be ,more effectually over erne by measures in harmony with our ree institutions than by the system of wmpulsion borrowed from the depart ments of Europe." UNION LEAGUE REFORM. Scarcely. has the echo of the Union ague . against bad nominations died mac until the selection of William M. ILluuti , -hp the councils as one of the Gaur 'HAM of the Poor of Philadelphia is an nounced.. The contempt of the ring 'or the admonitions of the League could of have been more offensively displayed. Bunn is notorious se one of the worst o she official ring in Philadelphia. A few veers ego he was defeated for the house ;Yom that city by a decisive majority, in zpite of the industrious labors $f a gang if repeaters in his service.,He then !tune to the capital and was amitted- to seat through the perjured oaths of this infamous gang of repeaters and the ::ecisionirof - a prevaricating and dishon-- - st committee of the house. In this con ' ection it may . not he out of place to iention that,the Hon. Butler B. Strang ,ho is an aspirant for state treasurer, was chairmnn of this committee. Afterwards, on Bunn's failure to -make satisfactory settlement with his vile confederates in political rascality, one of thern made formation against him for having sworn to a false and fraudulent account of ex penditures in this same contested elec— tion case. Notwithstanding the proofs of his guilt he succeeded in making his escape. His next appearence iu politics was as the ring candidate for the office of register of ails of Philadelphia, to which he was elected by a large majority, through the systematic stuffining of bal lots and the lavish expenditure of money on the part of that same Union League, who have just protested with such vir tuous energy against, bad nominations.— Now Bunn is made one of the Guardians of the Poor of Philadelphia by his asso ciates of the ring, a position which was formerly filled by the most reputable citi zens. whose probity and benevolence were guaranties that the unfortunate poor en trusted to their care would be well treat• e?.. The Poor of Philadelphia now have a wolf for one of their shepherds.—Har risburg Patriot. COMPULSORY EDUCATION. At the time our legislature last winter was agitating the question of a constabu lary shoo! system the Philadelphia Times seemed inclined to advocate it, but we is intAits,ci ov g cb -upon the ware" of true Democratic government by tacking entirely about as the following wal show : New York is testing her compulsory education act, and though opinions dif fer as to its workings, from the weight of the evidence it is plain that the measure has not conic up to the hopasitud expec- tations of its projectors and supporters. The Superintendents of Truancy recent ly arrested a boy in New York and held him committed to prison under the com pulsory school act. The lather of the lad took out a writ of habeas corpus to try the constitutionality of the law. The superintendents would not meet the question. They released the lad, and there the case ended. That boy pill not go to sChool in the 'future. and his exam— ple will add hundreds of recruits to the army of truants from school to all parts of New York. If the law is not enfocr ed to the letter, it should be sponged off the official slate at once, for a defied slat ute is worse than no law at all. The people of this country have never clearly manifested their approbation of this com pulsory plan, and legislatures should ponder the matter well before they force it upon the educational system of any part of the nation. We see now and then in our Southern, and especially in the Southwestern ex changes that some of the Democrats in this part of the country are uneasy about a high tariff. They fear that the influ ence of Pennsylvania in the next Con gress will be exerted to raise the duties in order to secure protection and prosper ity for special industries to the detriment of our sister States. 'There need be no fear on this subject. The present pros ttation of business in Pennsylvania, es pecially in its great products, iron and coal, has taken place in spite of all the tariff protection they have had for years past. The best informed and the think ing men among the iron and coal capital ists and manufacturers, regar.d the restor ation of healthful business independent of tariffs. High duties are no longer possible, and all the protection ever given by law to these Pennsylvania industries has not protected them from the present prostration. There is no better teacher than experience when it is learned ex perimentally and practically by individ uals each for himself. Theretore our friends 'need not bother about the tariff; they will have other and important and pressing duties and responsibilities to consider in the next Congress.—Common wealth. STEAM CANAL BOATS The use of steam as a wutivo power upon canals will be tested in a more thorough manner on the. Erie canal du ring the present season. Eighteen boats of the Baxter pattern will be placed on this canal by the Ist of July, each of which will carry 225 tons of produce and merchandise, and it is intended to run from New York to Buffalo and return in fifteen days, including the time used in loading and unloading at each end. Many improvements have been made in the construction of these boats, but no ad vance has been gained. in the matter of speed. At the present rate, the wash of the water does not injure the • banks of the canal. It is contended that a much higher speed could be given to the boats and still the banks remain uninjured. If this fact can be shown beyond doubt, the time occupied in running from Buffalo to New York should be pat down to the point. If canals are to mantain a respec table position in the line of transporta tion avenues in this country, they must be brought nearer railroads in the matter of time consumed. Of course, they can never compete with rail conveyances in shifting goods from one point to another, But ,they can come much nearer to it than' they do at the present time. And when the difference of cost is added to an increased rate of speed for transporta tion purposes the gap between railroads and canals will be closed to a large extent, and the trade community benefited to 'a corresponding degree. There ere men in this country who wish the National Government .to em bark in the telegraph business, by pur chasing all the lines from Maine to Texas and from ocean to ocean, Postmaster General Creswell recommended snob a scheme in more than one of his messages and it was endorsed by President Grant. But up to this time Congress has not look ed.favorably upon the matter. Your years ago the British Government went into a movement of this character. They pur chased telegraphic wires and operated them through 'the instrumentality of agents. But they. did not find millions in the enterprise. The lines cost the British Government fifty millions of idot, Lars. The interest on that sum is one and three-quarters millions. The receipts have not . yet paid the interest, sadder THE 'MONTROSE DEMOCRAT, MAY 26, 1875. lug the year 1874 the :receipts, werelie hind the,expeners half a million. This looks very much like a Co?. Sellers specu lation. It has an Indian eye-water milt& festation. In the course of a speech re cently 4elivered in the Hance of Com mons 91e Chancellor of the Exchequ er, that oilEcer announced that the tele graphic service hag not been brought into a remunerative_ condition. No interest is paid and none of the debt liquidated. After putting the matter in a plain form before the House and the business men of the country, the chancellor re&rred to the suggested acquisitions of other kinds of peoperty by the government and the 'conduct of other kinds of business, and expressed a hope "that the House would never be led to embark in them without very carefully weighing the results of this remarkable experiment." This was pointed at the movement now on foot in England to induce the government to purchase and run all the railroads of the kingdom. As England has tested the governmental telegraphic scheme. the United States should look in that direc tion for facts to guide them when pro• posing to embark in the same business.— Philadelphia Times. THE JUDGESHIP QUESTION. There is to be a Judge of our courts in Susquehanna county, elected Novem— ber next, to be an incumbent of that of fficfi for the ensuing ten years at a salary of 04,000Ilver 41111 U In unless sooner rais— ed or diminished by the state legislature. It is said that in selecting Judges of tile court, politics should not be a considera— tion, and we would be as willing to adopt that principle as any one, but so long us we have been acquainted with our dis trict, politics has had all to do with the election of our Judges, and the incum bents of the office have been among the most politic and astute partizan figurers, not perhaps personally, but by proxy. It is assumed, sometimes, (and the old mon archical courts exercised that power) that it is almost sacreligions to even question the prerogatives or actions 01 a court, howevet unjust or open to censure, and much less to write or print it, but we claim that the actions of any man in a free and independent nation. whether covered with an ecclesiastical mitre or a judicial robe, is a mark of .juet criticism. As to the political aspect of the judicial canvas this fall, it has already assumed its partizan position in the dominent par ty of the county, and is being used by the wire pullers of the party as a lever to over turn a formidable opposition which has arisen against the "Court House Ring." We are not of that class of editors who fillibuster and skirmish, about matters of interest to the people for simple partizan advantage,but we believe in calling things by their right names, and urging the people to act independently, honorably and honestly with themselves,in the party if they can but out of it if they must. The plain, unvarnished truth is, that Judge Streeter, who has presided over our courts for the last ten years, is in Susquehanna county today, instead of Bradford, where he removed as soon as he was elected ten years ago, simply because he wants the people to re-elect him Judge for the next ten years, add from all evi dence past and present he would again return to Bradford after his election, to take up his residence, (if be has lost it), provided the constitutioc of the com monwealth would admit of it. We pro— nounce this judgment upon the best evi• dence possible in the case which is cir cumstantial, as no one but the Judge himself knows his thoughts. We pred• icate this, upon the fact that the peo *pie of this couaty had been gobbled up by the Wilmot—Towanda Ring, until a revolt was iminent, and the election of Judge Streeter was something of a pana cea, from the fact that in that event he would be a resident of Susquehanna county instead of Bradford, as all his predecessors had been, which, of course, was no small ballast to hold the people quiet, and induce them to submit a lit tle longer to the dictates of the Wilmot— Towanda Ring. No sooner is Judge Streeter elected than he turns his back upon- Susquehanna county and flies to the arms of the Bradford politicians, a thing which if it had been done by E. - B. Haw ley, would haveeeen pronounced by the Republican as a "rascally" job, put up before hand,and we must confess that the circumstantial evidence is very damag ing. A few years later Hon. P. D. Morrow becomea too popular among the people of Bradford to be healthy for other official aspirants and it becomes necessary to fix him. Judge Streeter, not under the er— mine of his Judgeship, bat simply as a wire pulling politician of Bradford con n ty,goes to the representatives of this dis trict at Hiurisburg, arid urges them to create the office of Additional Law judge, a sinecure office, as needless as four tails on a cat and it is done arid the salary for each is raised from 83,500 to 8.1,000 mak ing the courts of the district cost 88,000 instead of 83,500, and for no other rea— son than to. make a place for a:formid— able political aspirant to lay him away for the neat ten years. The .DEMOCILLT call ed things by their proper names ut that time. - Tile project was accomplished and Judge Morrow was laid on the , "bench." In 1874 the Legislature erected two dis tricts out of Bradford and Susqnehanna counties, and it became necessary for Judge Streeter (the President Judge) to elect in which ;district he would preside. If his love. for residing: in Bradford co. was so great as to Make him desert his native county ten years ago,and diSappoint the understanding of those whO_ elected him, why did be not send Judge Morrow tor-Susquehanna county and remain there ? We will leave Our readers to answer the question for thernsefies at this time. Now: the question comes home to the `people; Is there no one in - Siisquehanna county either Republican or Democrat, wbo is competent to preside over Our courts, ror _must we, impori one from Bradford county ? - Such being the case let us spend the next ten yearn in train— ing up one, for, like some other offices in dna county, life is uncertain even with a Judge and if welm limited. to a single person for that office,.we might be caught in a sad plight. This is the end of the first chapter. Official Lint of 'Whiskey Seizures.

Death of John C. Breckenridge. Gen. John C. Breckenridge, one of the most brilliant men of the age, died at Lexington, Kentucky, on the 17th inst. in the 55th year of his age, frum the of fsets of a shell wound in the side during the rebellion. He served with distinc tion during the Mexican war, was several times elected to Congress from Henry Clay's old district, was elected Vice Pres ident of the United Stake at 35 years of age,. was elected U. 1. Senator upon the oiration of his term, joined the Con federacy and became a General in its ar mies, afterwards Secretary of War, es caped from the rebellion after the collapse of the rebellion, but soon returned, and died at his home as stated, surrounded by friends and universally regretted. Had his health permitted he would have taken a prrineot and most important part in the restoration of the country to a con dition of peace, good will and fraternity. In 1860, eight States and over a million of voters cast their ballots for him to be President. Had he been elected ho would no doubt have prevented the rebellion, which was temente.' and precipitated by the successful party of the time. The Western Scourge From accounts lately published of the grasshopper plague iu the west, it is to be feared that the visitation of that scourge is to be wider and more distress- Mg this year than last. The danger up— tys iiion:occ that dm 00 ,CI our of Missouri, us already mentioned, has appointed a day of fasting and prayer.— If the most productive portion of our country is to be overrun with these pests, the effect, added to the protracted busi— ness depressam, would be scarcely less than a national calamity : In this.con— neetton we may note that the anomalous condition of the grain market at the pres ent time is the subject of comment by the Chicago Tribune. The price of grain in Chicago is higher (freight added) than in New York or Liverpool. And this, too, notwithstanding the warehouses of of Chicago are packed to their utmost capacity. The prices for June and July delivery show a liberal advance over p'res ent prices. The Tribune says that there was ui ver a more serious mistake than that of New York dealers, who seemingly treat the matter as if the grain was held in Chicago on speculation and that Chicago dealers were seeking to force the purchase at fancy prices. Says the Tribune: "This grain is not held here by specu— laters. It is in store here on account of the owners who live in the country and not in the city. These men own the property and are able to hold it. They have reached the conclusion that a large area of winter wheat has been killed and the ground plowed np ; that the spring was su late that far less grain of all kinds has been sown this spring than usual ; that the winter, though unusually severe, failed to destroy or materially reduce the grasshoppers, whose depredations already h,.gun, will this year be extended, over a more eastwardly section 'of the country, and that for these and various other rea— sons there will be generally a much re— duced crop it) 1575. UpJo this basis the owners or these many millions of bush— .l3 of graiain Chicago are holding it for he advanced prices which they feel cer— tain will prevail this year." TELEGRAPHIC Vice Preside= :Willson ST. Locis, Mo., May 15.—After the ad journment of the Millers' Association last night the members, begged by their president, Mr. tiaine,and accompanied by a number of members of the Merchants' Exchange, repaired to the Lindell Hotel and serenaded Vice President Wilson.— The large parlors of the hotel were filled with persons antious to pay their respect to the Vie President. Mr. Rowland in troduced Mr. Wilson to the assemblage, and Mr.Baine made a few remarks to pre senting the members of the association over which he presides. Mr. Wilson responded briefly, thanking the gentle mert for the compliment paid him and wishing them prosperity. He said he came not to speak of public affairs, nor had they anything to do with his visit.— He had been traveling in Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkansas, and had receiv ed nothing but kindness from sill with whom he had met. He had come to the conclusion that there were great efforts making to improve that section of the country. There was more peace end or der an hope and confidence there than at any time since the close of- the war.— He trusted that it would tncu•ase, and that in every seetion of our country we should come to k tow each other better and love each other more than we have done. We have, he said, si magnificent contineatal empire; we have proved our selves in peace and war a brave people ; we are a strong'people ; united we stand against the world. 'United, he •believed, we are to be, and it is the duty of the patriot and the' Christian to hind every section of - this land together in bonds of love. affection and interest. This country is large enough for us all, for -eve& iiice; and he believed we should, by word and set, concede equal rights to all men ; put into our hearts what we put into our Constitution and laws, and that peace and harmony, that brotherly love and ri— valry in doing good 'and in building up the country would animate every heart in everyiection of the land.. The epeech ;was frequently applauded, and the assem blage dispented with evident feelings of pleasure and good will. Th of 9seeola. Pa.,.

Fatal diseases may be caused by allowing the bowpls to become con stipated, and the system to remain in a disord ered condition, until the disorder has time to develop itself. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, is an old and truthful saying. Therefore,we advise all who are troubled with the complaints now torn prevalent—headache, Indigestion, disordered liver, want of appetite, nausea, or feverish skin, tq take, without delay, Seb.neieo Mandrake Pins. We know of no remedy so harmless and decisive in its action.— It at once strikes at the root of the disease and produces a healthy tone to the system. People never need suffer from any disease arising from a disordered condition of the liver if they would take this excellent medicine when they feel the first indications of the malady. Fami lies leaving home for the summer months should take three or four boxes of these pills with them. They have an almost insti.ntane- OUB effect. They will reliew the patient of headache in one or two hours, and will rapidly cleanse the liver of surrounding bile, and will effectually prevent a billions attack. They are sold by all druggists.
