the Democrats will do is not yet known.
It would be a big step for them to walk
out of the miry slough of slavery on to
the platform adopted by the Labor Re

that they will join the temperance move

lot. The names of all the Senators, ex
cepting the name of the Speaker and the
sitting members, were placed in a box
from which thirteen names were drawn
six Republicans and seven Democrats.
The committee of six alternately struck
a name from the list of thirteen till only
ono remained Senator li.oadhead, a
Democrat who was declared the seventh
and last member of the committee to try
the case. Senators White, Mamma and
Fitch, three Republicans, and Senators
Dill, Ruckalew, Davis and Broadhead,
four Democrats.coustitute the committee.
The Republicans are willing that the
the case shall stand on its merits, and the
Democrats are jubilant over the hoti of

Lnj prayer is that the Republican parly
may be divided and so broken that they

The Republicans can and must, when
ever a way exists, right the wrong with
in its own organization. The party has
borne heavy afflictions. The Johnson,
Cowen and Doolittle movement, secured
by Democratic co-operation, was a griev
ous burden, but the party righted itself
as soon as it was light enough to tell to
a certainty where the respective parties
stood.
The Labor State Bureau.
An exchange says : The Legislature
of Pennsylvania has at present under
consideration a bill providing for the
establishment of a labor bureau, to be
under the superintendence of a competent
officer, whose duty it ehall be to make a
thorough inquiry into the condition of la
bor throughout the State, and present an
annus report showing how far the em
ployment system, and the combinations
and strikes resulting from it, affect the
permanent prosperity of the Common
wealth. Now their is no State in the
Union that has stood so much in need of
just such a bureau as the one proposed
Its labor inleiests have been so notorious
for bad management that strikes have
been looked for and have occurred with
as much regularity as the changing of
the seasons and all, we have no doubt,
owing the lack of judicious legislatron.
Never can the Republican party
shield itself behind or borrow Demo
cratic tricks. Few people doubt that the
Democratic State Seuator (Mr. Deehertj
from the First district was counted in ;
many believe the eamc as icgards Col
Cray, the Republican Senator from the
Fourth district. It would utterly dis
grace the Republicans of the State Sen
ate if tbry followed the example of the
Democrats who refused a hearing to Mr.
Lyndall, the Republican contestant of
ir. Dechert, Inconceivably mistaken
are those Republicans who quote this
bad precedent against Colonel A. K. Mc
Clure, the contestant of Colonel II. W.
Gray. They whoi'v miedake Republican
opinion. Iliey lorget Iliac tlie louest
Republican party is the country. Hence
we are right glad they were compelled to
give McClure a fair show. If he cannot
prove his case, let him go to the wall ; if
he can, let him go in. Prets.
State Treasurer Maekey has issued
his report. The Pittsburg Tims speaks
of it iu the following terms :
The report ot D-ite Treasurer Mackey,

are by the present head of the treasury.
The receipts of the past year are SS61,
34:2.0S in excess of the receipts for the
previous fiscal year. The expenditures
for 1S71 exceedtbose of 1870 by S5SS.
.556.94, the excess being occasioned by
the increased amount of debt redemption
This shows a close collection of the reve
nue and a proper application of the funds
when collected.
Toisouing a City.
A despatch to a city paper says : A
report has been prepared showing tb'
cause of the extended sickness in Harris
burg. It has been ascertained that the
drinking water to supply the people, in
stead of being drawu from a pipe designed
for the purpose, which projects about
two hundred feet into the river, has been
taken from the shallow edge of the stream
just below a point where three sewers
empty into it. For a long time prior to
the 10th of February, therefore, the peo
ple were furuishod with sewer water for
drinking purposes At least seventy
percent, of the members 'of the Legisla
tures have been ill ; while the residents
have suffei severely.
Ix Danville, Pa, some ten days ago
two drunk rullians forced their way iuto
the house of Mrs. Curstetter, the inmates
fleeing before them. Making their way
to the room of a young girl lying ill with
consumption, they outraged her person in
the most brutal manner. One of them,
Jeremiah Haucks, was arrested next
morning in a state of beastly intoxication,
but the other named Denny McGiuley,
escaped. The girl is not expected to re
cover.
The New Orleans Picayune says that
the fastest time ever made on a Southern
railroad was made by the train which

This train ran the distance, 140 1 6 miles,
ij 3 hours and 37 minutes, just about 39
miles an hour, from Summit to Mobile
20 miles, the time was only 20 minutes.

THE M'CLI RE-GBAY CONTEST.
The excitement over this case is set
tled at last by the drawing of a commit
tee, on which there are four Democrats
and three Republicans. Unfortunately
for Mr. Gray, two of these Democrats
pre under peculiar obligations to Mr.
McClure. Last winter, when the Demo
crate prepared to elect a speaker pro tem
pore, believing that they would have the
ascendency in the Senate in this session,
they agreed upon Mr. Turman as their
candidate, np until noon of the day on
which they held tbeii caucus. No one
supposed any one else had any chance.
or was even thought of in connection
with the position But Mr. Purman had
rendered himself obnoxious to Mr. Mc
Clure in Lis opposition to the Border
Raid Bill, and between the hour of noon
and the time the Democratic caucus met,
Mr. McClure had influence enough in the
Democratic party to defeat Mr. Purman
and elect Mr. Brodhead speaker who is
now one of the members of the commit
tee to try his case In the case of Sen
r.tor Dill, of Uuion county, who is also
on the committee, it id well known that
Mr. McClure was his particular friend,
and helped to debauch the counties of
Union aud Snyder, thereby returning to
the Senate a Democrat from what should
be a Republican district. You can see
by tin what chance Mr. Gray will have
if by any means they can oust him.
THE ArPKOraiATlON BILL.
The appropriation bill passed the
House last Wednesday, and will now be
sent to the Senate. In the aggregate it
is near a half million less than last year's
bill.
A NEW WAY l.F PASSING BILLS.
Sometimes bills have been passed that
were never introduced ; others have been
changed materially after they have passed
aud before they went to the Governor ;
and others again have been defeated in
the Legislature, and yet have been sent
to the Governor as if they had passed,
and have been signed. Seuator Pctriken
recently stated iu the Senate that a bill
that was found m the Pamphlet Laws of
IS71, called the " Low Grade Railroad
Bill," had never passed either branch of
the Legislature. Due investigrtion proved
that the bill was signed by speakers Wal
lace and Webb, chief clerk Zeigler, and
Mr. Pctriken hjmself, as he was on tbe
committee of. " compare bills." It is
clear that much fraud is perpetrated on
the community .by such acts as these.
Some action should be taken to put a
stop to it, as, from Mr. Petriken's own
showing, the coramitieo on " compare
bills" seem to be strangely direlict of
their duty.
THE GUlIEtlXATOIlIAL CONTEST.
The near approach of the State Con
vention is creating some excitement among
the various candidates for Governor and
their friends. There seem.', however, no
doubt but what General John F. Hart
ranft, the present efficient Auditor Gen
eral, will be the successful candidate be
fore the Convention. Out of about sixty
delegates now elected forty are for Ilart
ranft and the balance scattered on differ
ent other candidates ; while Chester, Del
aware, Northampton, Philadelphia, and
Allegheny, yet to elect, will most cer
tainly send delegations in his favor. The
Hon. John B. Packer is not a candidate
for Governor, but is a warm friend of
General Hartranft.
The apportionment committee are con
sidering tCe matter of Congressional dis
tricts just now, and it is altogether likely
that your county will be taken from her
present position and placed in a Demo

A BAD YEAR FOR DEMOCRAT?.
From the way the spring elections are
going it looks like as if this would be a
very bad yer for Democrats. Our Re
publican friends in Readiug, Bullefoute,
and Bedford county have done nobly.
The news from all parts of the State is
very encouraging.
The Legislature adjourned last Wed
nesday until Wednesday of this week.
They have fixed upon the 28th of March
for final adjonrnment.

About 10 o'clock on Wednesday even
ing of this week, a fire was discovered
in John App'a stable, in Selisgrove,
which spread until it became the most
destructive conflagration that has yet
visited that town.
Tbe classes of establishments and
stock burned were as follows : 1 dry
goods store, 1 hardware store. Tribune
printing office, telegraph office, Baptist
church, S dwelling houses, 13 stables, 4
horses, 4 cows aud 4 hogs.
All the stables from where the fire began
to the north end of the square were con
sumed, The flames then turned to the
residence aud store of P. R. Wageneel
Ier ; thence to the drng store of Shindel
& Wageuseller ; thence to the residence
of Mrs. B. Scoch ; thence to the hard
ware store of C. H. Boyer ; thence to
Soycr 5c Miller's shoe store, aud thence
to Water street, igniting the roof of the
Baptist church, where it might have been
stayed, but, as all were interested iu
saving their individual property, it was
allowed to burn, and the flames then
spread to the large brick store house
owned by Mr. Herton, of Mt. Joy, which j
was consumed, together with four or five ;
additional residences.
The flames, fanned by a brisk wind, j
burned furiously until about 3 o clock

ger was sent to Sunbiny for aid, but Suu
bury is supplied with but one steam fiiej
engine, and the fire bt ing doubtless the j

bury deemed it imprudent and uusafe !
to allow it to leave town; for, by so'
doing, the incendiary torch might be ati i

ruiiiful Incidents of the .Storms on the
Plains.
Sioux City, Feb. 10 A distressing'
incident of the terrible storms that have ;
swept over this region during the present
winter is connected with the discovery of ;
the remains :t' Dr Hall of Osceola county. '
Iowa, lie was lost in the terrible storm
of three weeks ago, and though every pos-
pilde effort was made t li i.l l lie bnly, it i
was only discovered four days ago, when i
a dog belonging ti the f'am.ly brought in :
a part of the missing man's leg. The an ;
imal was followed, and the mutilated re-
mains of the unfortunate m in were found j
only half a mile distant from tho house
Liter reports from Dakota confirm the
statement in regard to the depth of the
snnw and severity of the weather during
December and January. John H.
Smith's wag-'ii train which I ft the Whet
stone Agency for Spotted Tail's new res
ervation on White Earth river only 200
miles distant, was six weeks making
the trip. The train encountered snow
drifts, many of which were a hundred
feet deep, and extending a great distance,
through which it was necessary to force
a passage by shoveling. The weather
was so intensely cold that every watch
stopped, and every man of the train was
more oj less frozen, some of them quite
seriously. The party suffered greatly,
but no lives were Int
tvc airriisc meuts.
