long ruled as a nuisance here. The first cost
of a (tag walk is somewhat more than brick,

they are much cheaper in the long run ; and

to the front to stand his share of the charg
ing which is being dealt with so liberal and

him is, that he exchanged some $75,000
worth cf Arkansis railroad bonds, worth
about ten cents on the dollar, surreptitiously,
for G-1.(X) cash belonging to the Pacific
railroad. The charge is made by John C.
S. Harrison, of Indianapolis, Ind., a baukcr
of wealth, and a government director of the
road. Harrison is a warm friend and sup
porter of Senator Morton's claims to the
Presidency, cf which he makes no secret, and
whether the charge is a canard gotten up for
Morton's benefit, or the truth, is not yet set

absurdit.v, but Harrison declares his readiness
to tell all he knows eoneeruing it, whenever a
congressional investigating committee shall
call him to the stand. The thing has a bad

The recent outgoing Commissioners of
Luzerne county, Messrs Williams. Seibert,
and Gerschbacher, all Democrats, have been
brought up with a short turn by the report
of the County Auditors. In the course of
their investigation of the county receipts and
expenditures, the auditors discovered some
$10,000 which had been expended without
authority of law. Put up jobs ring concerns
in shape of county maps, indexing records,
repairs to the court house, trips by the
Commissioners to New York, Philadelphia,
and Ilarrisburg, including doubtless number
less "good times," were among the items
which smelted suspicious to the auditors,
and, after taking testimony concerning them,
were rejected, and suits brought to secure
legal investigation and restoration. War
runts were issued and placed in the hands of
the Sheriff, who succeeded in arresting
Williams and Seibert, who are now under
bail to answer at Court. Gerschbacher,
however, lias turned up non est, and rumors
place him both on a rustication in Canada,
and on the ocean, bound for Europe for the
benefit of his health. The guilt of these men
is said to cover a more criminal ground than
that occupied by the Schuylkill Commission
ers, who have just been released from durance
vile for peculation, and their own fate, if
convicted will be a sojourn at Fort Litts at
least. Here is an admirable case for the
consideration of the Fasten Argus. Three

whose affairs they were elected to manage
and protect. Awful for Democracy.
ttt The State Legislature is wrestling
with a bill fixing; the salaries of public
officers in counties of less than 150.000
population thus including all except Phila
delphia, Allegheny and Luzerne. As it
passed the House, the bill provides that
the salary of each county officer (not includ
ing Commissioners, Directors and Auditors)
shall be SoOOO per annum, with the addi
tion of fifty per cent, of all fees paid by
them respectively into the county treasury
in excess of $:000 yearly. Whenever the
fees of any office do not amount to $3000
a year, the incumbent's is to be equal to
the amount of the fees now established by
law. County Commissioners are to receive
?: per day for every day actually devoted
to the public business, with an additoti six
cents for every mile necessarily traversed in
the performance of their duties provided
that the entire compensation does not
exceed 1C00 per year. Count' Treasurers
are to receive three per cent, when the
receipts are less than $50,000 ; 2J percent,
when between $50,000 and 100,000 ; 2
per cent, when between $100,000 and
$150,000. &.C. These salaries are to be in
lieu of all fees, perquisites and mileage
heretofore allowed. The act does not ap
ply to persons elected or appointed to office
before the date of its approval. It is, in fact,
a very slight change from the system now
prevailing, but it complies with the letter
of the Constitution.

The Black Hills Fraud.
The following extract from a letter writ
ten by John J. Davis of Hyde Park, who,
with others, recently left Scranton for the
Llack Hills, is enough to substantiate we all
have said concerning the touirh times out
there :
;We all arrived at Cheyenne Thursday.
at three o'clock in the afternoon, and if I
ever saw a poverty-striken place in my
life this beats them all. The first thiirj;
I did was to find out the news of the RIack
Hills, and it did not take me half an hour
to make up my mind it was not the place
for me. There are about .-100 people iu
Cheyenne ; they have been there about
seven weeks trying to get to the hills, but
have been forced to return, owing to the
the snow. Tt is twenty feet deep on
the hills as far as they got, and what is be
yond that they don't know. There are al
so many at Cheyenne who have been to the
hills and endured hardships, and have not
made enough gold to pay for their flour,
and returned dead broke ; without a cent
iu the world, and broken hearted. Tlie ac
counts of the RIack Hills published in the
Pennsylvania papers are frauds, as I will
prove further in my letter, and a letter by
a Welsh lawyer at Laramie city, where 1
am now stopping. In Chej'cnne our party
frotii Scranton had to pay a dollar a day
each for board, and sleep on the bare floor,
not knowing when they can get to the hills.
I wished them good-bye, and began to think
where I should strike out, for they charge
eleven cents a mile fare on the cars. So 1
came to Laramine City, which is forty
seven miles from Cheyenne ; fare $5 20.
We got snow-bound, and did not get here till
Friday night. There was four feet of snow
when I came in the city. The first thing
I heard here iu the morning was a boiler
explosion in the rolling mill, killing eight
men on the spot, among them a man named
Riley, from Scranton. I am promised a
job at the mill when the inquest is over.

The Roon bill investigation is about over
and the committee is now engaged iu mak
ing up its report. What a Democratic
committee will say, when all those involved
iu suspicion are Democrats, is not hard to
guess. The report will whitewash the sus
pected Democratic members, as much as it
can under the adverse circumstances, and
the whole affair will be treated from Thorn
ton's standpoint, as a huge joke. There was
no actual corruption, we will be told, and
the Democratic members were only joking
when they offered each other four hundred
dollars apiece to vote for or agaiirst the bill.
It has been pretty well established, how
ever, that the Journal Clerk of the House
received $)i00 for himself iu an envelope
from the friends of the Room bill ; but an
other friend of the bill irave $:00 to a
member to secure lus vote ; and that the
sum of $7,500, iua certified cheek, was
given to the Journal Clerk to purchase the
votes of fourteen members, at $500 each,
to vote for the bill, the remaining $500 be
ing for the Journal Clerk himself. The
latter sum was not used, the fourteen mem
bers whose names were settled as recipients
having all Voted against it. The purpose
to use it was plain, but the men failed to
come to time. These facts seem pretty
well established ; and, unless we accept
Thorton's theory that the whole affair was
a joke, it is equally well established that
the opponents of the bill freely offered $ 100
for each vote against the bill that was open I
to purchase.
It is also pretty well established that all
or nearly all the men implicated in the de
velopments are Democrats. The Journal
Clerk is a Democrat; the man who gave
$300 in an envelope to a member is a
Democrat, and most cf the members impli
cated are Democrats. It is a Democratic
muddle, all through, and we leave that par
ty to reap tlie consequences of it. l'itts
