mt Mmmk, Henry A. Parsons, Jr., Editor THURSDAY DEO. 5, 1878. , There will be two brothers lu the lower house of the legislature this year David Emery, jr., of Titusville, Craw ford county, and Lewis Emery, jr., of Bradford, McKean county, both Re publicans and oil producers. -Indiana county is not a healthy place for Democrats, at least they do ot seem to Increase very fust. At the recent election of 7,000 votes cast that party only received 1,800, the balance being divided between the Republi cans and Greenbackers. The United States Grand Jury, at Chicago, have found a true bill agalust James G. Hill, Supervising Architect of the Treasury; Edward Burling, ex Superintendent of Construction ; Wra. A. Potter, ex-Supervising Architect, and five others, for conspiring to de fraud the government in connection with the construction of the Chicago Custom House, by means of fraudulent vouchers, out of $850,000. The latest information from Breathitt county, Ky., is that Jackson, the county seat, is in possession of an armed mob, divided into factions, who are shooting and killing each other as opportunity offers. The Circuit Court sessions have been discontinued, and the judge is gone, no one knows where. The sheriff and his posse have posses sion of the court house and jail, which is barricaded and protected with rifles. Several persons have been killed, in cluding the county judge and a man named Tom Little, a brother of the murderer, Jason Little, who is in jail, and whom one section of the mob wants to release. Picket firing Is going on, and the citizens of the mountains are frequently killed. Judge Burns, of the Superior Court, at Indianapolis, Indiana on Tuesday morning of last week, fined Warren Tate $10,000 for con tempt. Tate was plaintiff in a case before the court and William Love a witness. The judge, in announcing ths fine, remarked that whilst under the jurisdiction of the court, and the witness having given a portion of his testimony, plaintiff and witness meet in the corridor of the Court House and an altercation ensued, resulting in the death of the witness, Love, at the hands of Tate. This violent conduct of Tate being a great indignity to the court, interrupting its proceedings, in timidating its witnesses and violating the cause of justice on the threshold of its court, testimony was taken on the point of contempt, but the question of murder was not entered into. The judge's remarks were quite extended, closing with an order to the sheriff to proceed forthwith to levy on the prop erty of Tate wherever it could be found, sufficient to cover the amount of the fine. Tatej is reported to be worth $200,000, owning a large amount of real estate in this country. At Washington a striking illustra tion of the extent and excellence of the arrangements for international mail service which have resulted from the postal union is given in the official publication- received by the superin tendent of foreign mails from the Brnie central bureau. A resident of Ciiemuitz, Saxony, mailed at that place, at 7 p. m. the 24th of May, a postal card addressed to himself, carry ing a request to all postmasters to dis patch it successively and without loss of time to Alexandria, Singapore, Yo kohoma, San Francisco and New York, and thence to Chemnitz, his object being to win a wager that with the existing postal arrangements, a circuit of the world could thus be made by postal matter within 120 days. The request was compiled with, and the card arrived in Chemnitz from New York the 117th day after the date of the original mailing. The Post master General of Germany has caused this card to be photographed and trans mitted to the Berne international bu reau, with the remark that had it been posted an hour earlier, it would have occomplished the journey in uu days. It aunears there is some foundation for the report that General Grant has been proposed as a candidate for the throne of Bulgaria. Under the pro visions of the first and third articles of the treaty of Berlin, Bulgaria is con stituted an automatic tributary Frinel pality under the Suzerainty of the Sul- mu, WILLI H VJiiion" ' w n mi. n v uiiu a national militia. The Prluce la to be elected by the population, and their choice Is to beapprovea ana connrmea by the Porte, and by England, t ranee, Germany, Russia, Austria ana Italy. No member of any reigning European dvnastv Is eligible to the post, and this provision of the treaty has greatly lim ited the number or eligible canumaies. Th far-sDread and brilliant reputation of General Grant as a soldier aud a ruler, it Is said, has led the Bulgarian nobles, who are now debating among themselves the question of a ruler and the details of a new constitution, to look unon him as a most desirable prince. It is urged that he would be most eminently fitted for the post un der the provisions of the treaty of Berlin. The most perfect equality in , political and religious rights Is to be extended to all the inhabitants of Bul garia, and it is thought a wholly im partial foreigner like General Grant can best secure the execution of the laws designed to secure this equality. No formal proposition- on- the part of the Bulgarian nobilities has yet been made to General Grant, and if made, U is thought the General , will decline & konor - The Four Per Cents. OVER ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS BOLD DUKINO THE PAST YEAR. Washington, Nov. 20. President Potter, of the Maverick National Bank of Boston, had an interview with Sec retary Sherman, yesterday morning, In regard to the ale of the four per cent, bonds, for which the Maverick Bank is the special agency in Boston. This bank has sold an Immense quan tity of these bonds, and finds the de mand a continuing one. Secretary Sherman Informed Mr. Potter that he would be able to report to Congress the sale of over one hundred millions of four per cents, during the past year, and he believed that the sales next year would amount to $300,000,000. The total amount of four per cent, bonds authorized Is $1,000,000,000. The amount subscribed for on the 1st of December next will exceed one hun dred and seventy-five millions. If the Secretary is not disappointed next year, therefore, he will be able to report at the opening of the Forty-sixth Con gress the sale of nearly five hundred millions of four per cents. The whole amount of debt which will be redeem able on or before May 1, 1881, is about thirteen hundred and fifty millions, and, if the funding continues at the rapid rate predicted by the Secretary, the next Congress will need to increase the amount of four per ceuts authorized to $1,500,000,000. Of course, the Sec retary bases his hopes on the expecta tion that the bastard sliver dollar will not supplant the gold dollar, and that the gold currency will not bo debased as is now proposed by some of the soft money politicians. The Law of Assignment. Since the national bankrupt law has become a thing of history, Its virtues and vices remaining only as subjects of controversy, which may soon be hot enough, for in some particulars the abandonment of it is a leap from the frying pan into the fire, let us see in what position we are placed. The leap, however, has been taken, and whether for the better or the worse time will only tell. In the meantime it will be well to know all about the new order of things, and as a sugges tion we print here an abstract of the statute on voluntary assignment in this State : Whenever a voluntary assignment is made It Is the duty of the assignee, within thirty days thereafter, to file in the ollice of the I'rothonotary of Com mon Pleas of the county a schedule of the property so assigned, and with it an affidavit that the schedule is com plete according to his knowledge and belief. And the Court of Common Pleas, or, in vacation, any judge there of, may appoint competent persons to appraise the property assigned, and when the appraisement is made they shall return it and the schedule to court, there to be filed on record. The appraisers are to receive the same compensation as is allowed the ap praisers of the estate of a decedant. When the appraisement is filed the assignee is to give bonds in double the value of the property appraised, the bond to be filed in the prothonotary's office. Whenever an assignor surren ders ills nronertv. either before or nfter a suit at law, the assignee may appeal from the award affecting this property, or being a writ of error upon ny judg ment which may be tendered in the a. ,ff Tn anv Audi ivn man t niter tins appraisement has been made, the as signor may choose from the household goods any articles to the value of three hundred dollars, ana ii no cause to me contrary is shown, after due notice to the creditors, the court will order the release of these articles And In any assignment, when the court is satisfied that all clear claims have been met by sales from the property assigned, and security has been given in case of ony disputed claims, it any portion oi the estate remains in the hands of the as signee the court may order a reconvey ance of it to the assignor, which re conveyance is to be acknowledged in ! open court and entered on its records, and thereupon the estate is held free from the assignment. Three Girls Capture a Det-r. There was a dance near Porter's Lake, in Pike county, Pa., on Friday evening last, that was attended by numbers of the best youths and maid ens in the neighborhood. They began dancing early iu the evening and con tinued it until morning. The region is sparsely inhabited, and the means of communication few : therefore, those who attend such gatherings fre quently go on foot for miles to be pres ent at them. Three maidens Miss Cox, Miss Brink and Miss Jennie Lane live on the northwest bank of Porter's Lake, and to get to the dance rowed over in a small boat. After the breaking up on Saturday morning, they started to return home in the same manner, Miss Cox, the eldest of the three, taking the oars. When near the middle of the lake, they discovered an object moving in the water before them, which at first they supposed was a dog, but which upon neanng they ascertained to be a big buck. It circled round and round in the water, a sure iudication that it was wounded. After a consultation, the boat was pulled to within a few feet of the buck, and the oars were unshipped, Miss Brink taking one and Miss Cox the other. They drifted closer, and when within striking distance, at a given signal, both girls brought their wea pons down upon the deer's head. He sank beneath the water for an instant, but when he came to the surface his eyes shone and his hair was turned straight toward his head. The girls both struck a second time, bringing the oars down upon his neck. He sank again, but coming up sprang from the water and placed his fore feet against the 6ide of the boat. The girls had to use all their strength to keep it from capsizing, 'they man aged, however, to strike the animal another blow on the "neck, which proved a fataj one. Tying their handkerchiefs together, the girls seeured their prize to the boat and towed it ashore. It weighed 244 pounds. There was a resh wound in the right side aud one hind leg was broken. It had doubtless been driven ashore by hounds. Mr. Senator Bruce. i WASHINGTON SOCIETY AGITATED CONCERNING HER EXPECTED DEBUT AND THE TREATMENT SUE WILL RE CEIVE. Washington Cor. Chicago Inter-Ocwm. Senator Bruce, who has been travel ing in Europe with his bride since his marriage, in June, is expected to arrive here soon, and has engaged a handsome residence on Capitol Hill for the remainder of his Senatorial term, which expires on the 4th of March, 1881. ' There is some social agitation here with regard to the man ner In which Mrs. Bruce will be re ceived by the swells of Washington. She is a lady of fine personal appear ance, an octoroon, and Is, perhaps, better educated than most of the wo men who intend to snub her if she presumes to enter society. She was a school' teacher in Cleveland, but her husband has sufficient wealth to gratify any taste she may have in the way of personal adornment, and it is whispered that a wardrobe purchased by her in Europe would be prized by any of our belles. It is a requirement of official etiquette here, that all the Cabinet ladies, and the wives of Con gressmen, shall make the first call up on a Senator's wife, and the wives of the older Senators always make the approach to an acquaintance with the wives of the Hew Senators. Mrs. Bruce will experience no embarrass ment from the treatment she may re ceive from Mrs. Evarts, Mrs. Sherman, and the other Cabinet ladles, and Mrs. Hayes, whose gentility is beyond a question, intends to make Mrs. Bruce at homeat once by her cordial greeting. It is said that Mrs. Bruce will be Invi ted to attend Mrs. Hayes at the first Presidential reception. The only col ored Senator's wife who ever attempted an entrance to Washington society was Mrs. 'Pinchback, six years ago, and, being both beautiful and accom plished, she was not only treated civ ility, but was made quite a lioness. It may be that Mrs. Bruce will receive similar treatment. It will be noticed that there will be no negroes in the next Congress, unless O'Hara, of North Carolina, gets a cer tificate, which is doubtful. There were seven colored candidates for Congress, each in a district where their race was overwhelmingly in the majority, aud where each, by a fair and free vote, would have been elected by a majority greater than the opposition, but none of them, except O'Hara, ever hoped for success. So confident were they of the methods of their white oppouents. There is a colored voting population in the South of over a million, but iu the Forty-sixth Congress it will be en tirely unrepresented, except by Bruce iu the Senate. In the Forty-second Congress there were nine negroes;, in the Forty-third, seven; in the Forty- fourth, four ; in the Forty-fifth, three; in the Forty-sixth there will be none. Hereafter the only use of the 15th amendment will be to give the South additional members of Congress, and increase the electoral vote of the States. October Petroleum Reports.' . The correct report shows that the number of drilling wells in all the districts, at the close of the month of October, was 282, which was 42 more than in the preceding months. Rigs erected and being erected 308, against 3 iu September. The number of drilling wells completed during the month was 229, being 55 more than in September. Aggregate production of the new wells was 2,878 barrels, against ,243 barrels in September. The total number of dry holes developed in the month was 25, against 21 iu Septem ber. The daily average productiou for the month was 44,187 barrels, which is an increase of 330 barrels only. In the Bradford district so far the production has Increased from month to month, and now shows up with a daily average of 23,330 barrels. The shipments in October out of the producing regions were 313,165 barrels more than in the preceding month. The total shipments of crude and refined reduced to crude equivalent, by railroad, river and pipes, were 1,147,400 barrels. New York took 5G8.211 barrels; Pittsburgh, 319,577 barrels; Cleveland, 391,808 bairels; Philadelphia, 285,105 barrels ; Boston, 48,926 barrels ; Baltimore, 62,217 bar rels ; Ohio river refiners, 3.200 barrels ; other local points, 68,346 barrels. Total shipments, 1,747,390 barrels. The stock has been decreased during- the month 377,593 barrels, making the total stock at the close of the mouth 4,221,769 barrels, and is held by pipe companies, tankers and operators. Mr. Guy Carlton, a robust fauner seventy-five years old, living near the village of Wyoming, N. Y., has bought bis coffin and has it ready for use. He also has ready for erection a solid mar ble block, chiselled in the shape of a dwelling, with doors and windows. The block will be put over his grave to symbolize by its form and solidity the last long dwelling of man. An old negress who passed among the ignorant of her race as a sooth sayer once tola Mr. Calhoun that no one whose name began with "C could ever be President. An Ohio newspa per recalls this incident, and cites the names of Clinton, Calhoun, Clay, Cass, Crawford, Chase, among the dead, and Conkling among the living, to verify the prophecy. One of the eccentricities of the late Mr. Powers, the millionaire druggist of Philadelphia,, was a nervous dread lest the balance of his firm in the bank should fall below $100,000, and on one occasion, when it fell a few dollars be low that sum, be said, with much as perity, "Do not let it happen again."

CARDS, TAGS, ENVELOPES; BILL AND LETTEB-HEADS, AT THIS OFFICE, - no Sun for 1879., 'The Sun will be printed every day during the year to come. - Its purpose and method will be the same as in the past: To present all of the news In a reliable shape, and to tell fh trotH though the heavens fall. The Sun has been, is, and will con tinue to be Independent of everybody and everything save Truth &nd its own convictions of duty. That is the only nniinv ttiiioti newsoaner neeu unve. That is the poltey which has won for tli is newspaper the confidence and friendship Ot a wider constituency than wm ever enjoyed by any other American Journal. ... The SfJN is the newspaper ior iu people. It is not for tne ricn man against the poor man, or for tne poor man against tne ricn umu, " to do ennal justice to all Interest In ti.pnommiinltr. It is not the organ or any person, class, sect or party. Therd need be no mystery uwui jw ...... hates. It Is the honest man against the rogues every time. It Is for the honest Democrat against the dishonest Republican, and for the honest Re publican against the dishonest Dem ocrat, It does not take it cue from the utterances of any politician or po' litical organization, it gives its sup port unreservedly when men or mew urea are in agreement with the Con stitution and With the principles upon which this Republlo was founded for" the people. Whenever the Consti ttition and constitutional principles are violated as in the outrageous con- nlracv of 1870. by which a man no& elected was placed in the President' office, where he still remains it speaks out for the right. That is The Sun's idea of independence. In this respect! there will be no change In the( pro gramme for 1879. The Sim has fairly earned the ha tred of rascals, frauds and humbugs of all sorts and sizes. It hopes to deserve' that hatred no less in the year 1879 than in 1878, 1877, or any year gone by. The Ktm will continue to shine wi the Wicked with unmitigated bright-' ness. While tho lessons Of fh past Bhoultf be constantly kent before the people. The Sun does not propose to make it self in 1879 a magazine of ancient his-f tory. It is printed for the men anf women Of to-day, whose concern is chiefly w th the affairs of to-day. I has both the disposition and abflity tc afford its readers the promptest, fullesfi and most accurate Intelligence of whatever in the world is worth at- tention. To this end the resources be longing to well established prosperity will be liberally employed. The present disjointed condition of parties in this country,and uncertainty of the future, lend an extraordinary1 significance to the events of they coming year. The discussions of the press, the debates and acts of Congress,' and the movements of the leaders in every section of the Republic will have a direct bearing on the President tial election or io an event which must be regarded with the most anx ious interest by every patriotic Amer ican, whatever his political Ideas or allegiance.
