The last session of the Forty-Second
Congress assembles on Monday next. The
President's message will bo delivered pro
baby on the same day, .ni l Congress will
be engaged during the bulnnce of the scs
siou iu actiug upon the recommendations
of the President and the Cabinet reports.
Oi the 4th of March the Forty-Third Con
gress will convene, when there will be an
entire change of Couimittesiu both the Sen
ato and House of Ucpre8ent(Ui,i:. The
forthcoming message of U& President will
be considerable longer than the last, but
will show no chaujje of policy on ilie part
of the President, lie will strictly adhere
to his former policy, and perform his en
tiro duty to the'extent of bis ability, so as
to best servo the interests of tlc country.
Ir ever the citizens of uy district in
Pennsylvania had ciiuf-c to pride them
selves In their Ciingrcfsionul Kcprtsunta
live, they will have in this district in the
Hon. John B. Packer during his third term.
Mr. Packer's labors during two terms have
Veil of the most satisfactory chummier, and
ln-iicu he is returned for a third term, with
a larger majority than has ever been given
before. Wc have no doubt that Ids large
vole will cause him to enter his seat iu the
nest Couirress with renewed energy to serve
liis constituents. With such a Represen
tative his constituency can w.ill be proud.
No better guardian of the interests of the
people could have been chosen. Ilis ex
perience and knowledge of legislation will
always be devoted to the best interests of
his native Stale, and to the Union,
There arc few men returned to Congress
whose popularity ut home is as great as
Mr. Packer's, and his alulity in Congress
will no doubt, be acknowledged by a prom
inent position on the important Commit
tees in that body where the interests of the
.State will have a champion to defend her
rights for protection.
The Centennial Exposition to be held
in Philadelphia it: 1S7, is already exciting
the staid citizens of the Quaker city, in de
vising the "ways and means" in order to
raise the proposed ten millions of dollars
for the purpose. At tho fkst meeting of
the committee of one hundred, some of the
unsophisticated members, supposed all
they hnd to do was to cipher out the quota
that Philadelphia must raise according to
population, (about S1S0,000,) and let the
rest of this State, and the other States raise
tho balance. Judge Kelley and several
others, however, gave them to understand
that they must raise several millions of
this sum among themselves ; that outsiders
with few exceptions took but little interest,
comparatively speaking, iu tho matter.
Our Philadelphia friends ought to recollect
that outsiders, visiting tho Exposition, will
have to spend more money than most of
tho cUizi ns, and reap none of the profits.
NOT MUCH CoNC EITKD AFTER ALL.
Our neighbor of the Gazt t!c attempts to rid
icule U9 in his last issue, aud thinks that we
are rather "conceited" in our assertion
that we endeavored to assist in bringing
about a change in our coutity ot'.ices, and
in asking the newly elected incumbents to
discharge their duties in a manner satisfac
tory to then-constituency, that we, with the
rest of tho Republican party, may feel com
pensated for the labor performed in bring
ing about the grand result, which will re
lieve tho people of burdens long renting up
on them. We do not claim to have
brought about the Into change ourselves,
but we do claim to have been ouc of the
members of the Republieuu party that as
sisted in doing our share, and regret much
that our neighbor could not lend his atsis
tauce to the party. As to the assumption
our neighbor speaks or in claimiug that the
American was the only paper at the coun
ty seat that supported the Republican can
didates for Ktate and National oflicers with
any degree of sincerity, we leave the editor
to judge fjr himself. Had the Republican
papers in the county followed the course of
the Gitzittt perhaps the result would have
been less cheering. We regret exceedingly
that uur neighbor kept undecided n9 to
which was "the largest paity," the Repub
lican or Democratic, previous to the Octo
ber election. Rut as it was unccitain which
party was the Wrongest, and perhaps con
scieueious in his "Liberal Views," when
trying to convince prominent Democrats
on our streets, who declined to support tho
Democratic nominees, that it would bcVst
to have a change of administration, mid
that they had better vole for Mr. Greeley
to bring about that change, it would be
well for our neighbor to explain. Rut as
the O.-tober election made a wouderful
change, even in our neighbor, we havo a
light to believe that he too beeamo more
siuceie, and like Forney and others who
labor more for otlices than principles, he
found it good policy to retrace his steps.
AVe arc glad that he lias returned to us
again, aud hope that his faith may hold out,
and that ho tn:iy yet become a shining

As Tl!K people of tho State have by nu
overwhelmingly majority ratilied the

incumbent whose term of office will expire
on the first Monday in May next, unless
they continue the present incumbent until

Fir it is the Coal Mixes. We glean
the following facts from the Lykens (upper
Dauphin) Register, in regard to tho Die iq
the Coal Miues at Rig Lick Colliery of week
before last :
Tho fact, as nenr ns can be ascertained,
we havo from the best authority, as follows:
On tho evening mentioned, to save pur
chasing oil, trimmed and tilled their lamps
from a can of black lubricating oil that was
standing at the foot of tho slope, where a
bartel containing this oil is kept for oiling
drift enrs. The can was standing close to
the timber, which was dry, nnd in putting
a new wick Into tho lamp Ills supposed the
old lighted which was thrown against or so
near the can of oil that the lire communicat
ed with and ignited it. Tho ground being
saturated with oil ut oucecouveyed the tire
to the barrel near by, from which it spread
toastable, the entrance to which was but a
few, steps distant from this point, where
were thirteen mules, all of which were suf
focated. After destroying the stable, which
occupied a portion of an ahondoned breast,
tho tire secured a foothold in the debris and
durt, where it gained considerable headway,
the smoke intcilcriii-j to prevent subduing
it. Additional hose, was obtained from
Ilarrisburg on Wednesday, and on yester
day tho Wicouisco collieries suspended, and
all hands were set at work to extinguish
tho lire. We are glad to learn that it is
entirely under coutrol. and that it is not
likely to continue, but a very lulling quan
tity "of coal heimi confined to tho dirt and
Uc.oris ot the old breast. .No one
was in
iured hv the accident, and it is a sourco of 1
gratification and good foitune to all classes j
iu this vicinity that the loss will not be
heavy, ami will intern-re but a short time
with"lho working of Rig Lick colliery.

MuiiDEIt IK POTTSVILLE. John W.
Schulze. a colored man. and a ilcsm-rnto
character, has beeu committed to prison
for the murder, on Tuesday, tho 12th Inst.,
of a womau in Pottsville, of the namo of :
Alvina Sajlor,
The Daily Journal gives tho following
report of the fatal occurence :
John W. (diets "Ruck" Sehulze, has long 1
been known in this community as a desnc- !
rate character, and has figured extensively
in the Justice's Courts, on tho defensive, ;
for many charges of illbehavior, and, not- '
withstanding the trenuent goon advice ;
Si von him for his future conduct, he has at
last lilled tho measure of crime by taking
human life, and now occupies the felon's
cell, awaitiug trial. On last Tuesday
"Ruck" went to an old stone house stand
ing hack in an alley from I-iuiol street,
above Third, where Alvina, wife of William
Baylor, rendezvoused, and entertained the
low and depraved of both colors, ai.d
found the door locked, lie demanded ad
mittance and was refused, because tho door
had beeu locked from tho outside, and the
key carried away by another colored man
named David Lee. At this he became fu
rious, and kicked down part of the doer,
after which he entered aud attacked Mrs.
Saylor, kicking her so severely tnat she
died on Saturday morning of her injuries
having lingered in agony from the day of
the assault."
Ou hearing that tho woman was dead
Schulze attempted to escape, but he was
tracked by officers Kaercher aud Herbert,
nud am sled and brought back to Pottsville,
where he had a hearing ou Monday last,
aud was committed to prison to await his
trial for murder.
We arc pained to announce
that our i
young friend Cant. W. A. Meeker, Cash
ler of the Snyder County Rank, is suffering
from a wound he received in the army.
Tho ball struck the right arm, passed
through, aud entered his body, lodged in the
limes. lie carried this relic of the late re
bellion in his lungs, for nearly eight years,
without apparently atlectiug him, until a
few weeks ago, when it began to pain him.
We called upon him, and saw tho wound,
which is greatly inllamed, and has the ap
pearance of opening under the right arm. In
all probability the ball has changed its loca
tion, which caused the trouble. The Cap
tain has suflered a great deal of pain and
looks thin, though he uppears to be in good
spirits. We sincerely hope the ball will
move into a favorable locality, where it
may be extracted, or at least so as to make
tho case no longer dangerous,
a short time ho may recover
strength aud vigor."
and
that in

wonted !
Since, the above was put in type, the
wound has opened. The Captain" reports
himself feeling tolerable well, especially so,

Until says :
In Lack township there lives a man nam
ed Campbell, lie has a son named Wil
liam. This son lived not far from the pa
ternal home. About four weeks ago a
number of hogs owned by the parent wan
dered into the immediate vicinity of Wil
liam's house. A dog was put on tho hogs
and they chased away. The father, not
liking the treatment his hogs received, con-
eluded to remove the cause of any similar
" i
treatment from that same source by shoot'
ingthordog. Accordingly ho took down
his ride and pursued the dog to acorn lield,
where William was engaged iu bunking
corn, and stated the object of his presence.
The sou said the dog should not be shot, and
proceeded to throw stones at the parent.
Rut neither the objections of the son or
the stones he threw prevented the father
IVoin leveling bis gun and shooting tho dog,
which having done ho walked home. Tho
son did not proceed immediately, but nursed
his wrath till iast Sunday a week, when he
took his revolver and a box of matches and
walked to his father's house. Fortunately
he had gone to a neighbor's house, and
Williiitn found himself the undisputed occu
pant ol the property. He forthwith pro
ceeded to demolish tho contents of the
house. That done as far as ho desired, ho
lircd a lot of clothing in a room iu the mid- j
die of the tloor, aud theu directed his steps
to the stable, to which lie also applied the
match, and then leit for a neighbor's house,
where lie intormed them what he had done.
There being no ono at homo but a young
woman, she resolutely declared her inten
tion of going aud putting out the fire if
iiossible, but William threatened to shoot
her if she attempted to go ou such an er
rand. He soon took his departure, wheu
tho girl ran over to tho buruiug buildings.
1 ho pile ot clothing in tho room was con
sumed, but the lire had made but little
progress ou tho tloor and she with little
difficulty put it out. The stable was in a
jierlect sheet ot llames when she reached
the j place. A dozen meu could not have
saved it. William searched among tho
neighbors a while to Mud his farther to
shoot him, but fortunately did not find him.

Washington, D. C, Nov. 20, 1S72.
Friend Wihert : One week from to-day
Congress will agaiu be iu session, and those
of the members who left the city at the
time of adjournment last June to bo absent
until the meeting in December, will very
likely be somewhat surprised at tho vast i
amount of work that ha been performed,
aud the gr'C improvement that has been
made in tin appearance of the Capital. It
is the same old city, but it is getting a new
suit of wood and concrete; and when the
improvements are completed, which will
cost millions of dollars more, ( four millions
having already been expended.) I do uot
think that the streets of Washington will
be equalled by those of any city iu tho
Union ; aud this is as it should be, for the
natiou's capital has been a disgrace to it
long enough, and it should now be made au
houor to the great American Republic.
Congress w ill he called upon during tho
coming session to make an appropriation
for the purpose of uidini; iu pushing to com-1
liletiou the wort ot improvement so well
begun, aud there is no doubt but that Con
gress will readily respuhd.
Amoug the many important measures
that will need the action of Congress
during the coming winter will be Civil Ser
vice Relbrui,aud that it will, and should be I
changed, there is no doubt. Its present
operation is a great injustice to the men
who btood by the country iu timo of need,
and also the great bulk of the Republican
party. It gives the rebel who fought four
years to dextroy the Union the same chance
to secure it a patronage aud support as tho
man w ho lost an arm or a leg in its defence,
llu.uireds of rebels have Vcn given posi
tions under the Government during the

There is mio case that I know of
iii.i: !.:, dn special mention. Several mouths
a ;o tl. re w.-rc some vacant positions to be
ldl' d ii, iho Treasury Department, and
amoii .; the applicants there was a man who
lust an aifci while lighting to perpetuate
tho Union, aud also a blatant rebel who
had fought lour years to destroy it, and
still glories in that fact, aud iu the fact that
he stood guard over the Union soldiers at
Andersonville ; and perhaps he is one of
the murderers that shot tho prisoners from
the stockade. The rebel passed the exam
ining board and is now provided for by
the Government hu fought against for four
years, and w hich he would light against
agaiu should the opportunity present itself.
It must be borue iu miud that uine-leuths
of the questions the applicant is expected
to answer has no relation whatever to the
work he would have to perform should lie
receive the appointment, so it will readily
uo unucmioou mat mo person wno appa
rently passes the most creditable examina
tion is not the Vst qualified to (ill the po
sition to which he is appointed. The re
VI says, the damn "Yankee" passed a very
creditable examination, but the rebel pro
bably answered some of the questions hav
ing uo relation to the duties to V perform
ed, (and which tho one-aimed Union sol
dier could uot auswer,) consequently he re
ceived tho appointment, but which by no
menus settles the qucotiou as to who is the
belter qualified to till the positiou. This Is
only one case out of hundreds. I do uot
think that tho Republican party desires
this kind of civil service reform.
A great mauy reports havo Vcu scatter
ed over the country in regard to tho inter
view of Senator Camerou aud the delega
tion oi ruiiadoiphiau8 with tho President
iu relation to the postmastership of that
city, sayiug that they were snubbed by hiiu.
This story originated in the head of tho
correspondent of the Philadelphia Vtss iu
this city, (who, by tho way, is clerk to the
House Committee on Railways and Canals,
of which committee llou. J. R. Packer has
the honor of Viug chairtuau,) and I su
poso has beeu copied into every democratic
paper in tho State ; but luose papers have
Vcu, fur tho last seven mouths, republish
ing all the lies that Foruey's Pr oould
manufacture, (and they were kept very bu
sy.) so it is not surprUiug that they should
republish thu ono from the same source.
Nothing would please Foruey so well as a
breach Vtwoeu tho President and tlm lt.
publican party, but there is no dauger of
uujimus oi uie twu, winch is rather bad
for Forney. After the delegation had in
formed the President of the object of their
visit, which was tho appointment of Mr.
Truman as postmaster, tho President In
formed tho delegation that he considered
himself bound by tho civil service rules,
whicli-were approved by Congress, and that
unless Mr. i airman wus incompetent, he
did not see how ho could avoid appoint
ing him undcf the rules ; but In case Mr.
Fairmnn was not qualified, he would ap
point Mr. Truman. It is very hard to see
where the snub comes in. The Presideut
is only carrying out ono of tho measures of
a Republican Congress, and tin doubt he
thinks of thin what lie has said of some
others, that tho best way to kill a bad law
is to faithfully execute it. The President
Is not unmindful of the great honor that
has been twice conferred upon him by tho
Republican party, and ho is tho Inst man
who would desire to see tho enemies of the
Republican pnrty put into positions that
could bo filled with credit by its true and
tried friends, but that does uot rest with
tho Presideut ; the only way in which Re
publicans and soldiers can have the prefer
ence in appointments under the adminis
tration will bo for a Republican Congress
to devise better means of reforming the ci
vil service than thoso at present employed.
At a meeting of the Pennsylvania Re
publican Association held on last Friday
cveuing, a resolution of thanks to the Pie
sident, "Arty" Shissler, was offered and
unanimously agreed to. Col. Shissler
worked hard during the campaign for both
tho State and National tickets, and for tho
interests and rights of the membets of tho
Association, and his labors are well appre
ciated, and it may V truly said that no re
solution ever received a heartier response
than this resolution of thanks to our wor
thy President. Tho Association intends
giving a series of sociables during tho com
ing winter, tho first of which will tako
place on tho 0th of DcccmVr, nnd the last
one on the 5th of March, the day after
somebody, whose name, I am happy to say,
is not Horace Greeley, is to be Inaugurated
President of tho United States for four
years morn. Mr. Harrison, the second
Vice President of tho Association, has tho
sociable business in charge, and they will
no doubt bo creditable to tho Association,
as were those of last winter, under his
management. Tho last one will allbrd an
opportunity to thoso Fcnnsylvanians who
intend Ving in Washington during tho in
auguration ceremonies to 8cnd au evening
pleasantly among tho Republicans of Penn
sylvania temporarily residing here.

nil out companies pay in full, dollar for dol

It is gratifying to us to Inform the public that
Dr. L. Q. C. Wisliarl's Pine Tree Tar Cordial,
for Throat and Lung Diseases, has gained nn en
viable reputation from the Atlantic to the Paci

families of Europe, uot through the press alone,
but by persons throughout the States actually
beiiclltted and cured ul his ollice. While he pub
lishes less, so say our reporters, he is unable to
supply the demand. It gains and holds its reputation-First.
Not by stopping cough, but by loosen
ing and assisting nature to throw oil' the un
healthy neuter collected nboiit the throat and
bronchia! tildes, which causes Irritation.
Second. Il removes the cause of irritation
(which produces cough) of the nuicnous mem
brane and bronchial tubes, assists the lungs to
net aud throw oil' the unhealthy secretions, and
puiilles the blood.
Third. It is free from squills, lobelia, ipecas
aud opium, of which most throat aud lung re
medies are composed, which nlluy cough only,
uud disorganize the stomach. It has a soothing
effect ou the stomach, uets ou the liver and kid

reaching to every part of the system, and in its
Invigorating aud purifying etTccls it has gained a
reputation which it must hold above nil others iu
