vEljc 3cffcrsoninn. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25,1875. 88- The Republican State Central Com mittee will meet at the Lochiel Hotel, at Ilarrwburg, on Thursday, the 4th of March, next, at 2 o'clock p. m. BgyThatwasa glorious thing -which, the United States Senate, did tho other day when on motion of Senator Edmonds, of Vt, it postponed action on the question of admittinz P. B. Pinchback to a seat in the Senate, aa the Representative of Louisiana. If ever there was an attempted outrage up on right, it was to be bound in the effort of the bosus legislature of Louisiana to hoist Pinchback, a fraud in every respect, upon a body rendered memorable and honorable by the membership of a Clay and Webster and the hundred other statemen who preceded, were contemporary with and succeeded them. We hope the next move will be to stamp or vote the resolution out of existence, and refer the whole matter back again to these State Legis Utures. It is particularly important that this ehould be done, in view of the fact that the members of two investigating committees the majority of whom are undoubted Republi cans, have, after the closest look into the mat been constrained to report that the legisla ture which elected Pinchback was a fraud, an i existed only in face of the notorious fact that a large majority of the votes of the peo ple, "without regard to race, color or pre vious condition of servitude" were against at the election under which they claim to hold their positions. The prospect now being bright for a !ttlement of the trouble in the Louisiana legislature and that justice will soon be inne by ousting the frauds, and placing in their seats the men to whom they belong, because fairly and squarely elected to them, the Senate should not hesitate a moment in consiuerating its just course, but vote, to a man uiyainst the admission of Pinchback. It would be better still, if the resolution offered by Senator Edmonds, and so ably seconded by Senator Ferry, for the total upsetting of existing things in that state of trouble should be adopted, and the people thus given a chance to choose rulers in whom they have confidence and whom they want to manage their affairs of State. By pursuing such a course justice would undoubtedly be done, and the first grand effort would be made to raise the Republican party out of the slough into which the madness of politicians and of the hour have pluDged it. Moving season is close at hand. A month hence garden seeds will be in demand. Our thanks are due Representative Kistler for Legislative favors. - ' Now begin to get ready to talk about April showers and such. . The South Mountain Railroad will be pushed ahead rapidly in the spring. The visions of green peas aud spring let tuce begin to loom up lettuce have peas.

The back bone of winter received a heavy blow on Monday and Tuesday, when old Sol brought his shine to bear in earnest. We are pleased to learn that our Y. M. C. A. is flourishing. It would have flourish ed still more under the workings of that dancing school. ,m. THE Y. M. C. A., contend that the "right of suffrage should be extended to women." Good. Now take up the dancing school question. Jacob B. Miller, of this place, is fitting up his store room, on Main street, and will in a few days move his stock of groceries there. EST We observe that many of the Demo cratic papers, in view of the difficulties by which the Republican party is surrounded, are already becinnlng to chuckle over the be lief, that tho party is in the last throes of dissolution. Our distinguished neighbor over the way may be set down as one among the number who entertains this belief, and rejoice? over it. But never were men more mistaken never were men more actively engaged in laying the foundation for more grievous dis appointment. The party never saw the day in which it was stronger than it is to-day, and when the time comes for a vote upon its distinctive principles, prophets of this day will look with wonder at the steadiness with which it marches on to victory, and at the continuance of a vitality which enabled it so happily to round up the memorable period at Appomattox. No: the Republican party is not dead. It is not even in a dying condition, and all the trouble in which it is now involved is but the attendant of the process of purifying which it is undergoing, in order that it may use its vitality with greater rest, when the time comes for the fight We admit that a Ion term of prosperity and power a long time of sailing on the voyage of success has l-aded it with barnacles, and that they were wishing it down and threatening to engulph it ; but the captain at the helm will prove himself an efacent sailor, and the good ship Republican will come off the docks in as good trim as ever, and sail forth briskly and vic toriously for the accomplishment of her glor ious mission. No the party is not dead nor will it die. Its destiny is to build up a Republic, perfect and brilliant as the glisten ing sun which shines in the heavens, and its life-principle is bounded only by the confines cfeternitv. Its obiects are the freedom of m - m the world the square and full establishment of the rights of all men every where, and, after this, the certain maintenance of the whole brotherhood of man in a state of free dom, of prosperity and of perfect worldly happiness. Republicans may die and doubtless will die as eome of them have already died; and we are free to confess that the party would wag smoother if some of them had died long ago, or indeed had never been born, but the party the Republican party with its glorious, noble underlying principles it can never die, and the men who are looking to see so great a calamity as its death befall the country, had better at once be taken themselves to where mental ailments are sometimes treated with success. The Republican party in its last throes- preposterous. Man is a gay deceiver the world over. Two confiding old ladies ofj Baltimore boarded a stingy old curmudgeon of means for twenty-seven long years, never present ing him with a bill, but relying upon his assurance that he would remember them in his will. The old gentleman died lately, forgetting all about the matter, and now his former landladies have entered suit against the administrator of the estate for the amount of their board bill. They ought to get it, too. Mr. Charles Sensenbacii, of Biod headsville, on Wednesday last, in jumping from a sleieh. on which he was riding, Jell and broke one of hi3 legs below the knee. Mr. L. M.

Well, truly. as Mattie Van Buren said it, "Republics is ungrateful." We know of several young men who have been regular attendants of the Y. M.

Keller, while handling one of his horses, on Saturday morning last, acci dentally, got the snap of the halter fast an his hand inflicting a painful though not a dangers wound. Dr. Patterson attended to his hurts, and we are pleased to say that tt e wound is doing nicely.

Communicated. Friend Schoch. I see by a notice in yesterday's Democrat, that the Literary Association established under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association of Stroudsburg, have selected for a subject of debate "Wonians Rights," and I would like to enquire through your paper of some who are better posted than I, what that subject has to do with the prosperity of Christ s King dom, for which object I have always sup posed that Young Men's Christian Associa tions were organized to promote. A MEMBER. Well, keep it befbre the people that two of the most important things to be kept up for consideration hereabouts are that gas company and those cisterns. The Normal School might with propriety be considered a third, but we are willing to let that drop for the present if we can secure the others. But meu and brethren, our word for it, we may sadly rue our neglect, if we so far fail in our duty to ourselves as to let the introduction of gas and the building of those cisterns pass out of the time of sure and speedly consum mation. The Chief Burgess and Councilmcn elec ted on the 16th met at the office of Samuel Rees, Esq'r., on Monday evening last, and organized. The following appointments were then made, viz : B. S. Jacoby, Secretary. Stephen Holmes, Jr., Attorney. Win. Wallace, Treasurer. John Edinger and Wilson Dreher, street committee. The Councilmen fixed upon the first Tues day evening of each month as the time of holding their monthly meetings, and Stephen Holmes office, as the place of meeting. We observe by the Scranton pap era that Mr. Robert H. McKune has been chosen Mayor of that "city of magnificent distan ces" and general disorder. Robert is a Democrat, which counts nothing particular ly in his favor, but he is a live, hardwork ing business man, and, we firmly believe capable and honest man, and a good social, clever, and sober gentlemen, because of which we think there is abundant reason to con gratulate the third city of the commonwealth over his election. He will certainly prove an improvent upon the existing head of the city. As it could not be a Republican Mayor this time, we are clad, for ScrantonVsake, that it is the active, untiring, genial Robert II. McKcne, who has been called to the position and its honors. Jason Weeks, of Bangtfr, Me., who was robbed of $16,000 in bonds in one of the pas senger cars of the New Haven railroad, at the Twenty-seventh street depot, New York city, several years ago, and who brought suit against the company, received a verdict in the Supreme Court at New York, on Friday, for the full amount of the stolen bonds. The liveliest snow storm, and by far the biggest of the season, visited this place on Saturday last This adds another glorious patch to our sleighing. From the telegrams, in the daily papers, we learn that the storm was quite general, extending even over old Ocean to England, where the fall of snow was unusually heavy. The Y. M. C. A., hold up their hands in holy horror when we mention the subject of a dancing school under the auspices of the association, but the majority of their lady attendants and quite a number of their sup porters and members "take in" every dance that comes off in Stroudsburg and vicinity without a word of reprimand. "0, consis tency, &c." Our town for some time past has been rendered discordantly lively by the hah ! hay! hoh ! huhl of our aspirants after lyric fame. It will be a happy day when all these rough un tutored voices become thoroughly perkinized or cultivated. But then, only think of the singing the sweet, heavenly sounds which are to render Stroudsburg a very musical heaven alter a wnue. JNeither we nor our distinguished neighbor over the way took lessons, and more's the pity. Judge McMIIlIan Elected United States Senator. St. Paul, Feb. 19. The ballot to-day in joint convention of the Legislature resulted in the election of S. J. R. McMillian to the United States Senate by a vote of 82 to 16 for Lochren. The Senator-elect is the pre sent Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court, and is a man of unimpeachable integ rity. He has always been a Republican, but having occupied for many years the benches of the District and Supreme Courts, his participation in political affairs has been to casting his vote. He is about 50 years of age, and is a prominent member of tb Presbyterian Church. Wx were pained to learn, a few days ago ago that Mr. Charles Gordon, a native of. and for a long time citizen of Monroe county, met with a horrible and untimely death at Staples & Barry's paint works, at Moose head, Luzerne county. We could not learn full particulars, but from what we did learn, he went to see after his son, who was on the railroad track near the mill, and, by some means, cot the top of his head torn off. Charles was a very quiet and excellent citi t i .i ii i zen, ana by his gentiemeniy deportment, ana gentleness of manner, and kindness of heart secured the respect and esteem of all who knew him. From his boyhood he followed the business of miller, and was favorably known over a large scope of country for his experiness in his calling. His natural genius made him useful in his day a3 there were few mechanical branches of business to which he could not apply himself with the adeptness of a master. At the time of his death he was employed as an overseer in the works of Messrs Staples & Barry and rendered most efficient service to his employers. He leaves a wife and three children, the latter, we be licve, all grown or well advanced towards manhood and womanhood, and a large num ber ot other relatives and Iriends to mourn his sudden death. His remains were taken to the Water Gap, his former home for in terment Mr. G. was in the 51st year o bis age. PUZZLE, or Problem In Arithmetic.

The are each to sell their apples for the same price and to each have the same amount of money at the close of the sale, or in other words, neither of them is to charge more than the other for the apples, and yet the boy with 10 apples is to receive as much as the boy with fifty.

A., last Fri day evening, at their Hall was a decided success. The very stormy weather prevented many roni attending who, would otherwise have been present but the room was nevertheless comfortably full. The exercises consisted of an essay by Rev. Dr. Chaplain, and readings by Mr. J. T. Sherman and Mr.Thos. A. Bell, and music by a Quartette. At the request of the society, Dr. Chap am consented to furnish a copy ot his essay "or publication in the county papers. The next meeting of the society will be held on Saturday evening of the present week, and the exercises will consist of read ings, and essays, and a debate upon the ques tion "Resolved that the right of suffrage should be extended to women." A cordial invitation is extended to all who "eel interested, to be present. We might here remark, that the reading room of the Young Men's Christian Associa tion, is open every evening, and is furnished with the leading newspapers and magazines of the day, and is tree to an. 1 he room is nicely furnished, and is a very pleasant place to spend an evening.

The several Courts of the County convened at the Court House on Monday last, at two P, M. His Honor, Judge Dreher, and Associate Judges Gruver and Staufler, upon the Bench The Constables in the various townships made their customary returns. The Grand Jury was called and Judge Dreher delivered the usual charge, laying stress upon the impor tance of their considering the condition of the roads and bridees thronchout the County. Af ter a little business in the shape of petitions, rules, &c, had been disposed of, the Grand Ju ry came in presenting a true bill in the case of the Commonwealth vs. James and Ann Doyle which case was immediately placed upon trial It was an indictment against Ann Doyle and James, her son, for an assault and battery upon Daniel McCasey, the affair occurring in Cool- baugh township, just over the line from Lu zerne. The parties to theca.se were all exces sively Irish and created much amusement in Court. Ann Doyle is a little, old, fiery speci men of the "ould sod" with a tongue absolute ly incapable of restraint and an excitable bus band who wriggled into most surprising pos tures and at every change in the proceedings got up, turned himself and chair around and then sat down again, and finally went upon the Bench to interview His Honor, but at a sug gestion from the Crier resumed his seat with dispatch. McCasey's version of the affair was that finding the Doyle's cattle upon his. land he, accompanied by his two dogs, was gently directing their course homewards when young Doyle shot one of the dogs and then pointed his double barrelled gun at McCasey. At this time Mrs. Doyle stepped out from the brush calling to her son to "shoot the robber I" She then attacked him with a stick and poked and struck him several times with it, following him some distance continuing her "pokes" and blows. Both defendants were examined in de fense and according to their statements McCa sey kept several bull-dogs and a " puncheon brim full o' whiskey", said dogs being wont to worry and "lug" defendants cattle. Seeing Daniel go by that morning with his dogs they surmised danger to their kine and Jam en got down his double barrelled gun and meandered up the road followed by his maternal parent: they had not gone far when they saw Daniel driving the cattle before him at a lively gait and setting on the dogs James stepped to the side of the road. The foremost doer came boun- u ding happily along nipping at the legs of one of the cows when his spirits suddenly fell about 95 per ct. from the effects of a charge of fine shot behind the fore shoulder Daniel plainly perceiving that dog had had his day waxed exceeding wroth and pulled out a pistol pre senting it at James who thereupon levelled his gun at him. Both testified that Ann gave Daniel not a single poke with a stick and in deed "had no stick at all, at all," and said "niver a word" during the whole fracas. The Hon. James McCasey, member of the Legisla ture from Luzerne, and brother of Daniel, was called to impeach the character of Mrs. Doyle for truth. He got through his testimony in chief gracefully, but on cross-examination, he, after making an elaborate speech to the Court, inti mating that Mr. Holmes was getting too in quisitive and warned him that he had better not ask him too many questions. The attor ney still demanded the names of those persons who had made statements derogatory to Mrs. D.'s veracity, and the worthy representative of Luzerne began with Mrs. Doyle's brother in-law who said M and fath, and he w'ndn't East Stroudsburg.

The clear average majority in Philadelphia for mass trates was over 12.000. on a verv lieht vote, which is considerably better than it was on a much larger vote last November. In the cities of Lancaster, Beading and Harrisburg, which are frequently if not mostly Democratic, the Republicans elected their municipal officers by comparatively large majorities. The same was the case in a number of other towns. On the whole it would appear that the Republican or ganization is better and stronger than it was a few months ago. Many of its mem bers recognize now, much more clearly than they did then, the great national disasters that would result from complete Democra tic ascendancy in the nation. They see that such an event would place the federal government practically in tbe hands of the men who initiated and led the great rebel lion, and for this they are not quite pre pared. If Congress and our public authori ties generelly will act with good sense and refrain from political follies during the next few months the election results of 1875 will be very different from those of 1874. Bucks Co. Intelligencer. A conflict that promises to have serious results has broken out between the Balti more and Ohio and Pennsylvania Rail roads. It began by a complaint on the part of President Garrett, of the Baltimore and Ohio, that the Saratoga agreement as to charges for Western freight and passen gers had been violated by the Pennsylvania and other roads, to the injury of his line. This was answered in an indignant manner by Col- Scott, and in a day or two the com panies began active hostilities against each other. The Pennsylvania refused to take the Washington trains of the Baltimore and Ohio company over its tracks between Philadelphia and New York, and all pas sengers were thu3 compelled to take the rival Baltimore and Potomac route, which is managed by Col. Scott. Mr. Garrett re taliated by putting down the passenger fares to the West, making his rates to Cin cinnati $12, St. Louis $17, Chicago $12, &c. a reduction of about forty per cent. The Pennsylvania at once made the same reduction. There is now no exchange of passengers or recognition of tickets between the two companies, and the Baltimore peo ple propose to meet the difficulty by a daily line of steamers between their city and New York. The Philadelphia, Wilming ton and Baltimore Company, owning the only connecting line below Philadelphia, finds itself in an awkward position, but just now appears to be at the disposal of Col. Scott. The Baltimore and Ohio is deter mined to force through another avenue from Baltimore to New York, and this fact may have an important bearing on some of the incomplete railroad projecU now pending. to this date, remarkable as it other name has been Esurrestf-r5 "t,7 ' J probably win be betweenlhia and Novf' ber, except in a complimentary sense"- GermantoKn Telegraph.
