I ' f : i . ; . i .1.' si. r !)C Scffcvsonian. THtrHSDAY; MARCH 11, 1875. tew ISiimpshltc Election. The New Hampshire election took place on Tuesday last. The Republicans elect their Governor, a majority in both bran ch ee cf tbc Legislature, and probably two Congressmen. The Republican gain is large. 3 The Forty-fourth Congress yr inau gurated by the extra ?c3?ion of the Senate, on Friday laf. As the only business before it will bo the consideration of the Hiwaiin r.-cioroity treaty, and the consideration cf nominations to officii thl asion will likely be a ehort one. 3"The Republican State Committee ol Pennsylvania, at a meeting held at Harrisburg on the 4th instant, agreed to hold the next -State Convention at Lancaster, on the 2Gth of May. On the same day the Democratic 'CWtuittee aLo met, avid appointed Erie as the place, and the 8th of September as the time, for holding the Democratic State Con Tent icn. This arrangement gives the Jlepjblieans more than three months start "in the campaign. The State officers to be elected next November are a Governor and a Treasurer. DSf The exact particulars of that recent Democratic State Treasurer's steal in Georgia nre, that $152,253 was stolen outright; $11$, V 53 wa3 illegally paid out, and $509, 17 5J is missing. The Treasurer, however, v.tteriy refuses to resign, and there is some talk of retiring hi:u on full pay and let a financial agent run the office. In Arkansas, fo, we observe that between fifty and sixty fherius elected undir the new constitution ?re found, a short time ago, to be defaul ters in suras ranging from $500 to $20,000, and now general Newton, a financial officer of the State, is discovered to be a defaulter in tho sum of $53,000. A very honest rowd, truly ; and this is only the beginning. Now, v.ho speak.-, first fur taking stock in those cisterns. We need them of course wa do need them worse than anything eLe need them everyday, every hour and every minute. It is true there is no prospective money interest in them no promise of dol lar ano cent dividends no reasonable grounds that the money invested will ever be returned no assurance that anybody will grow rich or make money out of them, save, perhaps, the laborers who dig the holes, the men who furnish the lime, brick r.nd sand used in their construction, and the mechanics who build them. Bat there is safety in them, and as a dollar saved is the same as two dollars earned, the saving of our property by means of the extinguisher furnished by them, in case of fire, will prove the money expended to be an enriching investment indoeJ. Now then, don't all speak at once but who speaks for rock in the cisterns. Every day we put off the building cf them, we are guilty cf a crime acinst cur neighbors and ourselves. 2tS" Congress adjourned on Thursday last, at noon, and if ever a country experienced a food riddance of bad rubbish, we think it was the United States, when Congress ad journed. Taking it, all in all, it was, we think, the most truculently partizan body that ever assembled in this country; and yet, 1.0 far as its .aims were discoverable it seemed aa though a determination to kill ofFthe Re publican party was its main ol jeet. Nearly every measure which had been condemned by the people in the recent, election met its Approval, while for everything which promis ed to rai-je the party from the low position it was com polled to occupy in the recent elec tion, it had nothing but opposition. Of all things the people desired peace for the whole of our country ; and yet more time was wastt d in an effort to continue the causes of strife throughout the South, than was ployed fa doing good, or an attempt to do fiood in other quarters. When the present Congress came into p-ower, the Louisiana troubles were in comparative infancy. Of their existence Congress was made aware by the earnest appeals of the President that come thing should be done to quiet them and that his course was taken, BuJjcct to change only through their action. Did they heed this? The spectacle of January 4, of Uuited States soldiers orgmiziug a legisla ture, and seating legislators, notoriously in opposition to the expressed will of the peo ple, is an all sufficient answer. lad Con gress two j-ears ago set about the making the crooks of Louisiana's troubles straight, f he force of example would have Raved us the Alabama, Arkausasand Mississippi trou bles, asdour srholc country, would doubtless, to-day, be in peace, and the people in the (peaceful pursuit of prosperous business life. But no ; everything and everytody, who should have known better seemed to be seized with a partizan blindness, which would sec nothing but the blood of the past, and thus, working themselves into a partizan frenzy could work only for the partys ruin. We have neither the time, nor the inclina tion to pursue this theme to its legitimate end, through all its disreputable ramifica tions. It is a tokening subject, and we drop it with a hope that now that the days of Congress have departed, we may lock for a prompt marshalling of the masses of the party, for the liftiog up of the mighty fallen, and for another grand battle fur victory for the grand prinetplesof the party of the Union Of one thing we are assured: The people breathe freeer over the thought that the Forty third Congress has ceased to exist.

ODITUARY..r . JACOB SING MASTER, long a resident of this Conntv, and citizen of thi Borough, died Rt Allcntown, Ta., on Saturday evening last, the 7th inst., nged 70 year.-, 2 months and C days. Mr. Singniastcr va born in 1805, at Mil lerstown, about 9 miles from Alleniown, Le high County, this State. He inherited a heal thy wiry constitution, and possessed an unusu al development.of brain; and,. in youth and middle age experiencing little or no sickness, thereby rendering his prospect for life and vig or, beyond the allotted three score and ten, exceedingly promising. But in the last 6 or 7 years his health began to fail, his disease being a gradual softening of the brain, which made his last years and days a source of great men tal as well as physical suffering to himself, as well as great anxiety and discomfort to hi3 friends. A few weeks ago he went to Allen town to visit his sister, intending to remain but a few days, but while there his disease became more violent, rendering him unable to return at the expected time. Yet his friends did not despair, hoping that the disease would grow less violent, and that he would yet be able to return to this place; and the prospect looked favorable until about a week before his death, when he appeared to take cold which affected his lungs, and hurried on the death, which he finally implored, to relieve him of his 6ore physical and mental sufferings. Mr. Singmaster came into this County in 1S3-1, and erected a large tannery at Tanners ville, where lie drove on tanning extensively and profitably for a number of years; and then 6old out and came to this place, where he also erected an extensive tannery and drove on the same business for 12 or 15 years. Thus scat tering in our County for bark and for labor hundreds of thousands of dollars. He also drove on tanning in other places, and was en gaged in the purchase and sale of real estate, also in the hide and leather business. He finally disposed of his tanneries and tan ning interests) nnd travelled abroad more or less, and in the end investing his funds heavi ly in various stocks. Mr. Singmastcr'a great business foresight served him as well as the fabled lamp and ring of Aladdin, are reputed to have served him, for every business enterprise he engaged in, with rare exceptions, seemetlto turn into gold. But he was a man of the strictest integrity and honesty. Ilia wealth is reported to be great. We dare not give any of the many apparently extrava gant estimates of it. But in all probability it runs in'.o hundreds of thousands. Speculation in rt gard to thi matter may as well rest for a few days, which may suffice to give an approx imate estiaiate of it. , Mr. Singraa.ter never married, thctigh he n not averse to, but was really forxl c-f, intel ligent female society. Whether the Siren nev er sung swsetly enough to engross his soul, or whether he loved unwisely or too well, we know rot. He possessed a great store of infsrnn.itror which much travelling and great experience abundantly supplied him with. He was rather reserved, aai apparently en joyed life, or endeavored to, much within him self; but yet, when in health, to the hist he was fond of Eocic?;,, and never tired of social chats with his friends, to whom he vas always polite and kind. He had moods which would apparently indicate the opposite of this to be true, but they were only exceptions to his true natiire. He wa universally known to be an obliging. kind neighbor, and good citizen. We think it entirely safe to say that his wealth proved to be no source of real pleasure to him. Ve remember some 10 or 12 year ago to have heard him remark, on a certain occasion, when speakiing of happiness attend ing wealth, that the time was when he pitied the poor, but he had since learned better thau to do that, for the virtuous poor said he, are the happiest of all persons. May the peace of the righteous dead be his. The funeral will take place to-day, (Thurs day) the 11th instant, at 1 o'clock P. M. The sermon will be preached by the Rev.

After a fhort illness, at the residence of his father, James Henry, WILLI AM EXRY, at the age of 30 years, 7 months and 22 clays. The deceased was a young man of good mor al character, honest and upright in all his bu siness transactions, and wa3 loved and respect ed by all who knew hira. He was employed during the last year by the D. L. & W. WAX. Co. as Agent and Operator at Spragueville, and all hough suffering much, at times, from the disease which was preying upon his consti tution, he still adhered to his business, urtil he could hold out no longer. lie then left his of fice and his business, on the 9th of February and went to his home, never to return, aa he, himself aid "but to die"' and in one day Icsr than a week, after reaching that home, he breathed bis last, and his spirit took its eternal flight to that bourne, from whence no traveler ever returns. The funeral services took place at the house of deceased, on Thursday the 18th, and the ceremony was improved by Rev. E. L. Mak tin, of the M. E. Church, who preached a ve ry impressive and instructive sermon on the words of Holy Writ "We all do fade as a leaf." S. D. It.

School directors, whose terms now expire in June, are ex cepted trom the operation of the law.
