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

- 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."

to be the only instance of a Religious
JN ewspapaper continuing its even
course lor llrty-slx years without a
change of name, doctrine, intent, pur
pose, or pledge from the date of its birth
The Fifty-seventh Volume
will contain all the important news
that can interest or instruct ; so that
any one who reads it will be thorough
iy postea.
We do not run a benevolent institu
tion, and we do not ask for the support
of charity. We propose to make the
Best newspaper that is published, and
we propose to sell It as cheaply as It
can be afforded. Let those who want
pure, sound, sensible, truthful reading
subscribe for it, and let them induce
others to do the same. We are now
publishing in the Observer the story
or
JOAN THE MAID,
by Mrs. Charles, author of "Chroni
cles or the Schonberg-Cotta family."
We send no premiums. We will
send you the
New York Observer

- 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. To these elements of inter
est may be added the probability that
the Democrats Will control both houses
of Congress, the increasing feebleness
of the fraudulent Administration, and
the spread and strengthening every
where of a healthy abborence of fraud"
in any form. To present with accur--acy
and clearness the exact situation?
in eacli of the varying phases, and tc
expound, according to its well-know-rt
methods, the principles that should
guide us through the labyrinth, will
be an important part of The Sun's
work for 1870.
We have the means of makindr ThB

and more iitwful than ver before; anil
