slandering the dead.
There was a great Centennial exhibi
tion meeting tieid on the evenm oi
"WaaLiiigton's birth day in Philadelphia
at the Academy of Music. No greater
dtmonstralion, since the war, has been
witnessed in Philadelphia. Hon. Simon
Cameron presided. Pr. D. 31. Crawford
was announced as one of the vice presi
dents. The subscriptions to the stock of
the Centennial Board of Finance were read
and amonnt already from Philadelphia
alone to S 1.737,330. Numerous speeches
were made, by prominent gentlemen of
Pennsylvania and other States.
Ths Times of New London, Wis., re
lates that recently as a German farmer
was coming out of the - woods, about
twenty miles North of Perry's Mills, he
found a man's boots with the feet left in
them, particles of clothing, a few bones ,
a dead dog and two dead wolves. Signs
of a terrible struggle all round. The
supposition is that he was going from
one lumbering camp to another, when
the wolves (which are Btarving on ac
count of the deep snow preventing them
from running down their game,) overtook
him on the road before he could have
time to climb a tree and devoured him.
The Pulaud Committee to investigate
the Credit Mobilier trouble in CongressJ
reported in the I8th inst. They favor
the expulsion of Okea Ames of Massa
chusetts, and Jamea Brooks of New
York for bribery. They having been
interested iu the Credit Mobilier and the
Union Pacific Company," from an ear
ly day Meescrs Davis, Sco field, Bing
ham, Kelly and Uroueld, are all acquit
ed of having had any corrupt purposes
in their purchases. This relates to mem
bers of the Douse only. At the time of
our going to Press, we havo not been
apprised of the final action of Coogresa in
this Case.
The Case of Colfix and Patterson in
the Senate has not reached a final settle

date of the 24th inst., says : A serious
and fatal accident occurred early jester
day morning on the Chicago, Danville
and Vincennes railroad at Dalton, near
this city. The train bound north had
run short of water near Meuomouce.
The engine cut from t!.e train and etart
ed to Menomonee for water, and bad
been standing for some time, when the
passenger train came along and ran into
the rear end of the caboose, where it
seems the men were asleep, The con
ductor of the freight train was killod,
one brakeman was injured and-tlis. en
gineer of tbe passenger train had LU
shoulder dislocated. The caboose and
one coal car caught fire and burned, also
burning tbe track bo badly that new iron

THE CE5TES5UL. . ,K
We surrender largely of editorial
space to a few remarks of members of the
Constitntional Convention, delivered on
the Question of the Centennial Exibitiori,
in their if all in Philadelphia, on' the
evening of the 19th itist " The 'speeches
presented here are not in full.
lion. George V. Laurance was elected
President of the meeting, lie said.
Fellow' citizens yon all ondeastand
fully the object of this meeting. Seldom
has any portion of the people b-en call
ed together for a more worthy or'patriot
c purpose.
The nation proposes to have an impos
ing Centennial Celebration, a kind of
golden wedding, with this distinction,
that instead of recalling to our recollec
tion tbe nuptials or nnion of two provin
ces or nations, it presents for our coutem
plation the divorcement of an oppressed
people in a conditiou of colouial depen
dence from the overshadowing power and
cruel exactions of one of the great pow
ers of the earth, enabling us Xo take a
kind of inventory or retrospect of the
work of tbe past century. And here let
me ask,' what place in all .the vast em
pire of States could be more appropriate
for such a purpose than the city of Phil
adelphia. "' ,
lie it was, in the then embryo city,
but now sA grand and imposing, that
were uttered the first omiuons 'words ot
warning to the King ' Here it was that
to the colonies and - to the world were
first proclaimed in detail and with anon
ishing unanimity and power, the cruel
and contiuued wrongs imposed upon our
ancestors. Here it was, iu the most boI
cmn and important convention ever as-1
sembled, that the rights of if.Un, of aa
lions aud of peonl; were proclaimed,
aad the determination avowed to be free
Or perish in the attempt. From this
place tbe colonies were summoned to the
long and bloody struggle with a superior
power, which was maintained with such
unexampled heroism and such unparalltd
ed suffering during the long yeara -of
strife. Here it was that the national
compact was formed and that Constitu
tion adopted under which wo have grown
with such unexampled progress into a
vast empire of free and independent
States. -
nere will be presented and recounted
the improvement of her lands, the in
creased value of her agricultural pro
ducts in decades, in itself wonderful.
Here will be exhibited the immense aud
almost incalculable wealth or value of
her minerals, as they are unlocked from
the rock-ribbed hills and mountains with
in her borders.
Here too we will see as by a panoram
ic view what we have accomplished in
this century in science, in art ; how we
are scarcely equaled in all the appliances
(or education, the developments and cul
tivation of the minds of our youths ;
what the work of our machinery has
been, and bow vast our manufacture of
tbe raw material.
In a national view the interest in this
Centeonial meeting enlarges aud increas
es." All of the States and Territories will
be represented by the presence of many
of their people and the products of the
same in every department. Here hun
dreds of thousands of people will come
from time to time, and the very associa
tion and intermingling of the citizens of
one with those of another State will be
most beneficial in its effects. Men and
women will come from all the vast em
pire of States and be glad of the oppor
tunity, and join in loudest acclaim to
that Supreme wisdom and power that
has made us so prosperous aud so happy
All the civilized nations of the earth will
be fully represented here bringing the
results of their industry and varied oc
cupations, aud the evidence of their
prosperity and the genius of their people.
. Let us then, my friends, labor as we
can in harmony with those having espe
cial chargeof this cornraendablo work,
to make it worthy of the State and na
tion " !
Judge WalkerV !of Erie, the oldest
member of the Constitutional Convention
being called on by the Chairman spoke.
Among the subjects he Tefered'to the
coming of the people of Erie' to "Phila
delphia on that occasion as follows : We
are coming here in 1876 to sec, to hear
and tj learn something more than we
have ever heard or dreamed of in this
great country of ours. The spectacle of
contemplating the Philadelphia of 1776
in comparison with the Philadelphia of
1S7G will of itself be a sufficient induce
ment to every mau ana woman, young
and old, in this State of ours and through
out our country to attend the Celebra
tion. We will be enabled to realize how
we have proposed and are -still prosper
ing, aud that we will continue to prosper
notwithstanding such imputations npon
our fair fame as the Credit Mobilier and
similar wickednesses. If God spares
my life and health, it will be my pleas
ure to be here, and in ths meantime to
help forward, with -- all my trength,
a movement that is r destined to sur
prise the world, ' and to show what a
giant our nation has become, and to what
greater proportion our Country is suscep
tible of expanding. Since that day in
1776, when we proclaimed our indepen
dence of the mother country, we have
not only climbed the Alleghcnies and
reached the lakes, but we have crossed
ije Mississippi and traversed the previ
ously unknown region between the Rocky
Mountains and tbe Pacific Ocean. From
the limits of a colony on the Atlantic
shore, we have peopled a contincut ; and
in 1876 I hops to be one of an audience
assembled in this goodly city to hear an
estimate of our anticipated great upss at
the close of another century.
Hon. W. H.'Armstrong, Hon. Charles
R, Buckalew, Ex.Governor Gnrtin j and
others spoke earnestly in advocacy of the. -Centennial.

all the time in a handuome glow. They
New York, it is known, always opposes
Philadelphia enterprises became of cbhr
rmercial jealousy: "'UafrTsbrirg ''is oppo

House jealousy. "It Is that which moves
this people -against the Centennial Exhi
bition being held at Philadelphia. They
would rather see it .go'to New York,
Chicago, anywhere, rather than to Phila
delphia. ''
Local and special legislation seem to
be the chief business that engages the
attention of the Legislature. Philadel
phia being tbe greatest business center of
the Commonwealth, of course she must
have a great deal of business of that
character attended too. ; Senator McClure
has been championing a jury reform bill,
and a fee bill for the office h Meters"'' of
that city, i The Senate sustains him in
his reform measures, but the House': Will
have none of them His measures- have
merit, j - .- -"' '"'".--
The Governor has signed tho bilf "per
mitting the Hluton Passenger- Railroad
Company to lay and make use of addi
tional tracks on market street from Frof.t
to Ninth; The opposition that st first
seemed strong ayunet ibis 'railroad' cti
terpri5, wheu'siftel was reducud almost
entirely to that manufacture! by 'a rival
street railroad company
Forney's I'retY let' off a gun or two at
tbe Governor for signing the bill. ' The
Press in regard to local special and state
legislation see ms ' to be penny wise' and
pound foolish " In this it denounces tho
legislature for passing and the governor
for signing a bill giving to a city street
railroad company the priviliges, simply,
giveu to another" company of the same
character, but when thfi Pennsylvania
C. R. R Co. goes to the Legislature "aud
asks it to pass a bill allowing it to Issue
an unlimited amount of stock it is as
silent as' an 'Egyptian "mummy. You
recollect that in a foimer letter I stated
that a supplement to tho charter of the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad Company
had passed the Legislature, granting the
privilege to issue an unlimited amount of
stock and bonds. Your correspondent fs
a friend of the P. C. R. R Co., and is al
ways ready to advocate its interests so
far as that they do not effect the general
welfare of the Commouwealih.
That such privilije3 "should be asked
and that a whole Legislature should
grant them is almost beyond belief. "It
is presumed that the magnificent scale
in which the demand was made and re
ceived by the Solons Stunned the Press
into silence. Had it been some little
street railway corporation, bow "majestic
would have been its wrath 1 The bill
went to the Governor. Do you' recollect
that after it had been iu the hands of his
excellency but a short time, a Senator
moved that it be recalled for the purpose
of amendment I ' '
It was recalled from the executive
chamber, ""aud amended, lirniting in
amount the stock and bonds to be issued
The reason of its recall was", the Gov
ernor would not sign it, but would have
returned it with his veto. In that act
the Governor exhibited more of the in-
ate qualities of his nature and ' disposi
tion to stand by the interests of the peo
ple who elected Jiira than could have
been exhibited in many fine speeches.
Who is the other public man who would
thus have resisted the approaches of the
most powerfull " railroad corporation on
the' American Continent.''' There are 75,-
000 miles of. railroad in fhisr -country of
that number' the -Pennsylvania Central
owns or tfmVrols 15 000 miles. "'r'
There is a general bill 1 slumbering In

of a State Mechanical Collejre in ""'which

chanical industry that is developing- this
country so rapidly. The "apprentice sys

existence. " It is'a great mistake to allow
such "a state of affairs'to" overtake-us.
Boys should have trades'; they "are the
avenues to respectablo living, ' wealth
and honor. Our great manufacturing

A Hartford, Conn . despatch of tbe

condition last' night between the 'depot
and his home, lying7 in", the enow, his
pockets rifled of his money- and watch,
and his ticket box, which he carries home

Graves, of this city, aged respectively 18
and 19 years, were arrested on suspicion
of committing the crime.' Tho boys con
fessed tbe deed"; and were bound over
ibis afternoon in $3,500 bonds each, for
trial before the Supreme Court, in default
of which they were sent to jail." Both
prisoners' are of 'notoriously' bad ' charac

subject of a balloon trip across tWOcean

Mr.. Washington II. .Donaldson, who
is nofcagiuting this subjeet iu -Lis ,prori.baggilge carand two coaches, was thrown
poseu pnyiTi oi uaiwuniug across me
Atlantic the coming summer, has already
learned 1nhis fhTrty 'Serial "voyages" tfiat
there are certain natural highways in the
atmosphere to serve, nb( only- the pur
pose of floating an air ship across the f
Atlantic, but to fnablcir lo go to any
part of the globe, without the aid of pro
pelling haehinery.T Tho-eono lying be
tween the thirty-fifth and sixtieth paral
lel is a nodal zone, in which tho south
west winds are constantly interfering
more or less ' with the winds from the
- .i .
northwest, and when they are not sliding
smoothly over or nuder each other they
give rise to atmospheric and electrical
disturbances.- These two currents ' in
duce an intermediate current which moves
nearly due east. - During the winter and
tho early part of summer these currents
prevail "over the ship route of the Liverj
pool and New York liners," clear across
the Atlantic, causing head win'ds. 'tu the
sail and 8 team. -craft all -the, way ftom
England to the shores of America.,.
With reference to a transatlantic voy
age as intendeef by Dona'dson, .the track
is laid dawn, and it becomes simply a
matter of endurance of float. To. uiako
afcalloon lliRt will retain its- taoyancy
long enough to float fiom America to
Europe, is not a problem to W solved,
since Mr. Giffard, the inventor of tho
famous ''iujetftor, Lad-one constructed a
few years ago which, after being inflated
retained its buoyancy sufficient, to raise
up twenty persons twenty fivo days after
its inflation, a sufficient length of tiuio to
have circumnavigated the"globe. 7
Mr. Donaldson intends to 1A provided
for any contingent .fmergeneios,Jy. car
rying a life boat and a supplemental: bal
loon to act as a tug to this bear, and 'with
this contrivance alone ' frotn 'five to six
hundred miles per day can be made.1- A
life boat thus provided would skip from
wave to wave over a rough sea, and, would
make much better headway than one
propelled through the water, by wheel or
paddle. Such a contingency is no more
likely to become necessary than that of
the safety raft to a sea steamer, but it ia
well enough to be fortified on all sides.
Mr. Donaldson submitted ' his "project
to mo for an opinion of its' feasibility. I
gave it my earnest approval, adding a few
detnils to it, aud, confident of its "entire
success', volunteered to jin iri 'Hhe ad
venture, to which he . cheerfully , assen-
The 'question whether the public ac
knowledgment by a man of a woman as
his wife legally constitutes her as "Such,
has received au affirmative answer in the
courts of our own and other States in
several instances. A case involving this
point, is now on trial before a Chicago
court. - The affirmative idea of the ques
tion has just beon strengthened ' by the
decision of one of the courts of New
York, in which Miss Phelps resorted to
legal measures to set ' aside thai "will of
Augustus E. Noble, drawn in 1866, de
vising his entire' property, valued at 200
000, to his mother aud sister. . In.. SG7
Mr. Nolle met Miss. Phelps,, the contest
ant, aud subsequently without any mar
riage contract or ceremony, the parties
commenced living together as man .and
wife. Noble introduced her into society
as his wife, invariably paid such bills as
she contracted. In time she gave birth
to a child, which was dead at 'birth, or
died soon after, and the physician who
attended her has since died. Noble him
self died last fall, and, when the' will
was offered for probate. Miss Phelps con
tested it on the ground that she was his
legal wife. After taking much testimony
the judge ruled that her cJiim was valid,
and that she is entitled to- her dower, but
Smce" if "cannot" be proven "iKafThe-marriage
was tVw blessed With IrvTng issue,
this the legal extent of her claim. The
will haS .tecu admitted." to 'probate, , and
its conditions' will be' 'carried .out after
her dower claims are satisfied. Ex.
A Chicago, 111., despatch of the 22nd
inst-, says : A horrible case of premedi
tated murder and suicide occurred at
Waseca, Minn., on Monday last. It ap
pears that two Germans, Alexander Bu
seu and John Ruff, tho. former marrriad
the Jatter unman ed, owned and worked
'a farm together, and that finally .Busen
was dxiveu away aud Ruff took possesion
of the farm and Eusen's. family.. Re
cently, the Grand Jury found an indict
ment against Ruff and Busen's wife for
adultery, which greatly alarmed them.
On Tuesday morning last the jjeighbors,
in going to Busen's house, found it shut
up, andjn breaking in discovered .Mrs.
Busen and .her youngest child lying on
the. bed bathed , in ilood, tl licit, tliroats
cut from eat. to ear. r On .the floor beside
the bed lay tbe lifeless body of Ruff,
with his throat cat. ' From letters left by
both the man and the woman it is evident
that they agreed npon this tragic method
of escaping from the dutches of the law.
A Dispatcu from Bethlehem, under

Monroe Snyder, an elderly man, a. well
