Tns New County Officers and tiie
Ring The late changes lu the public offi
cers in the Court House Are so Apparent
that all who visit 'there ciusno help but
notice A vast Improvement. Wo nrc daily
congratulated upori the result of thu radi
cal change In this county, nud if ever the
people had Just cause to prido themselves
in having good, honest and efficient officers,
they have now. Wo are glad to know that
nil tho officers elected from the Republican
ranks, as well ns their subordinates, are I
competent men and are disposed to serve
the peoplo faithfully and honestly. Al
though it has long been known that n Ring
existed about the Court IIouso, and that
the business was tlotie in the mn?,'c loose
manner, and that many translations had
taken place In which the peoplo weft left
in the dark, this became more rViid more
apparent at the rutiwr-ietit of the old offi
cers, by their anxiety to rctlwiin a little
white longer, prubably to cover up their
tracks which wcro like! to be discovered
by the new lncumbcrlts. But a, they were
foiled in this by the new officrs having the
ncrvo to ctoso the doors on them to the
vaults, they are loft to tremble until mat
ters havo been lnvsti;ated. Thus far
there lifts hot been sufficient time to look
over former accounts to embody many of
the transactions in tho auditor's report.but
we arc satisfied that sufficient is already
kuotvn to justify us in saying that we can
expect some rich developments by the time
scUfemcnts arc made with some of the re
tiring officers.
The forthcoming auditor's repH tftj"
perhaps, shed some light upon some mat
ters which will interest the taxpayers. We
hope that the auditors will give a fuller re
port than heretofore, and itemize more
particularly, so tho 'peoplo can see how
their money was disposed of. Vne instance
the accounts of jury fines, recognizances,
Ac, how much has been paid into the
County Treasury and the amounts uncol
lected. Also the jobbing business in con
tracting for new road damages, bridges,
Ac, for making out duplicates, monies re
ceived for taxes from unsealed lands and
how appropriated. All such items will
prove intercstiegte 'there a'io help to pay
the county taxes.
Trie New Governou. The new Gov
ernor, Gen. Ilttrfcanfi, who will assume
the duties of bis office on Tuesdav next
enters pa thb diec-hargo of his duties at
an nnspiciouB period. Tho condition of
tho State is liealthy and prosperous, and
presents to him a fair field for economizing
tho finances and extirpating corruption
Whenever foahfe. We have confidence in
him that ho will uphold tho dignity, integ
rity and the rights of the" State ; and hope
for-wn administration that will strengthen
the"Kepr.bHcau party. To accomplish this
end the new Governor must select for his
advisers men who are above suspicion, and
gtard aga'iMt "rings" and men who have
nothi'rTes in view but to gratify their
own selfish ends. The advice-of Republi
cans from principle should bo consulted
and regarded if tho principles of the party
i&i tifr. support of the honest masscB of
the State is to be retained. If this is done
we need fear nothing and all will bo well.
Hon. Frank" Jordan, the retiring Se
cretary of the Commonwealth, is deserving
of moro than a passing notice for tho man
ner in which he discharged his official du
ties during the six years past. His uni
form courtesy toward all who transacted
business in that office won fur him the es
teem of all and made host of friends iu eve
ry part of the State. An abler Secretary
of tho Stato than Col. Jordan never filled
that position. Ho was faithful to every
duty imposod upon him and correct iu all
his business transactions. Every act of
his is noted for his honesty of purpose, raid
for the interest of the peoplo of the State.
Ho retires from the office respected and
highly honored by every one aud Willi best
wishes for his future success.
Coal Land Monopoly. According to
the 3infr' Journal the Philadelphia aud
Heading Coal and Iron Company owns
95,009 acres of coal land in tho counties of
Schuylkill, Columbia and Northumberland.
Of this !nnd tlicrc are in Schuylkill county
72,0."i3 acres ; in Schuylkill und Columbia
l,i.63J; in NorthumJwrlaiuI 23.610 acres.
These lands embrace, in Schuylkill couuty,
sixty-five open collieries, three iu Colum
bia, and twenty-seven in Northumberland;
in all uincty-tlve collieries.

lany is roauy to purchase, but at present
they prefer productive to non-productivo
tauas.
It is asserted that the business of the
Philadelphia and Headiue Railroad this
yeai will show an increase over that of 1871
Veto op tub Fimi . JJill. G.ovcrnor
OoA'y tins sent in his veto of the Fish Kill
passed at the close of the tart session of the
Legislature. Ilia objections are made
known- at some Wngth, and while we do
not assent to nil the positions assumed,
the GbveVnor prosents some strong reasons
for withholding Lis signature, aud we are
not prepared to say that, he Js.not right in
the wain.
Tho objections aro set forth in tho fol
lowing order : -
1. There is ha becasion for five commis
sioners when one or two are lint a effl.
cicntS that thouull thi-v nr to hnnnlv
I mid their necessary expenses, theso art
likely to increase In a ratid quite dispro-
nOrlltlllnlA til tlia anrulnu. Mhntarl
tu'.t tho number unnecessarily divides the
responsibility.
I or so large nn expenditure, nf money
sufficient security should bo given, and in
this bill notio is provided for.
3. It is believed the inlerestsof the State
do not require thru any property for hatch
ing or pivpogating purposes should be giv
Clh aU" bil' (,r l nny otl,er sum.
4. The. Governor object seriously to the
large eum of 870,000 for tho fish ways aud
hatching house ; and to tho arrangement
making an equal appropriation to each
flshway, all to be completed at the same
timo without reference to the success of
what he calls as yet only au experiment.
He denies that the flshway At Columbia
dam. which was made at an cxpenso of
i?5,000, has proved a success, though now
in use for a number of years. . The few fish
caught above Columbia dam, tho Governor
contends, did not reach there by tho Hall
way, but through a break in the dam
caused by a freshet. This of courso is only
conjectural ; aud thu failure uf this ladder,
if properly constructed, would be in direct
antagonism to all properly made fish-ladder
ever constructed. In this we think
the Governor is mistaken.
We give the Governor's concluding par
agraph, showing that ho has not been op
posed to the fibbing interest, only to the
maimer iu which it is proposed to promote
"I regret the necessity which compels
t. return tho bill with theso objections.
The subject is nn important one; and I
nm in cordial sympathy with tho friends
of thia movement lor the culture of lieu,
And for their restoration to tho waters of
tho State ; and will heartily approve all
properly guarded legislation for these pur
poses. Most of the sectious of this bill are
unobjectionable; nnd I especially com
mend th.it which proposes co-operation
with our sister State of New-Jersey. Hut
when seventy thousand dollars are appro
priated from the public treasury for this,
or any other purpose, I shall insist that it
shall be done iu such form, and under such
regulations, as will probably cilect tho pur
poses intended.'"
The voto message, coLtains facts which
should bo used in tho fresh application
which wc trust will be made at thu pre
sent session of the Legislature. The fish
ing interests have become of too much im
portance to allow them any longer to lie
dormant; and for our State to persist in
lagging behind nearly all her sister States
iu judicious efforts to promote them, will
noi reuounu to ner credit. Jet, therefore,
a new, simpio and unobjectionable bill be
presented, in order that it may promptly
meet tho approval of the Legislature and
tho Governor.
Death of Napoleon III. From tho
cable dispatches to tho daily papers we
take the following relative to the prepara
tions made for tho funeral of Charles Louis
Napoleon Bonaparte, late Emperor of
France, whose death occurcd at Chisel
hurst, England, on Thursday last, tho 9th
insl ;
London. January 11. The timo for tho
funeral of Napoleon has been definitely de
cided upon. It will take placo next Wed
nesday morning at 11 o'clock. The Royal
family of England will bo represented on
tho mournful occasion by the Prince and
Princes of Wales, nnd Prince Christian,
who will accompany cx-cmpress Eugenie.
The Prince and Princis of Wales will re
main in strict retirement at their country
seat at Sandringham for one week, as a
mark of respect to the memory of Napo
leon. Priuco Napoleon, his wile, tho
Princes Clotilde, Princes Mathilde, M.
Paul Cassugnac, aud a number of other
lieuapartists have arrived at Chiselhurst,
where an important conference on tho
course to be pursued is expected to take
place. Napoleon left two wills, one of
which is iu London, and the other in Paris,
Thus ended a restlcts life which began
in 1704 in the Palace of the Tuileries; and
terminated Iu exile. In the brief span of
his life he experienced both the profoundest
depths of disappointed and tho exquisite
satisfaction of gratified ambition.
Hon. Joseph Baii.y, member from this
Senatorial district to the Constitutional
Convention, submitted nn amendment for
consideration, relating to railroads and
canals. The object of tho ameudmcnt is
to restrict and restrain the powers of rail
road aud caual corporations, that those
having invested in stock may be protected
from loss.
The Ti ibunt thus figures up ''the value
of Credit Mobillier stock, which members
of Congress were allowed to buy at par
(and pay for or not, ns they pleased) ; Mr.
Ames testified that in a period of thirty-
two months, from April, 1S)S to Decem
ber, 1003, tho Credit Mobiliier declared
twelve dividends, amounting in the aggre
gate to 1,505 per cent., and over 000 per
ccut. of this was divided after July 4, 1808.
The thirty legislators, therefore, who
bought shares at 100 in the spring of 1808,
got back six times as much as they put iu
before the closo of the yoar."
Tiie Xouthekn. Central. During
the year 1872 the Northern. Central, rail
road delivered 23,855,458 feet of lumber at
Baltimore, and amouut of grain reached
1,577,791 buBhele. Tho traffic of the year
shows an increase of 70, 1 13 tons oyer the
the business of 1871.
James Gowan, Esq., father of the Pre
sident of thu Heading Uailroad Company,
died, at his residence at Mount Airy, last
week. He had accumulated a fortune in
the mercantile business, in Philadelphia,
and for several years has been giving atten
tlou to agricultural matters.

Boston, in his annual message, snows

was, 770. of which 700 were ot brick or
stone uud 07 of wood. The assessed val
uatiou ot tlia buildings was 13.501.000;

The Great Snow Ntorm.
J . t . . Mix'w aukbk. Jan. i2.
A dispatch fro,o Minneapolis says the
storm on the St. Pnnl and Pacitie rail
road waa Vne severest "ever known. At
a .fctatind called Kirkhaven there were
several farmers in the town when the
storm first burst upon them. They left
for home with their teams, and very few
have beeti heard of since. One wagon
was found containing a Mrs. Poland and
a boy, both froacn to death. Many teams,
both of oxen nnd horses, aro found frozen
in drias, a'ad the fa to of their owners is
unknown. ' 1
A St. Paul dispatch says tho great storm
resulted in many fatal casualties in Min
nesota aud was unprecedented in severity.
Thrco brothers, Charles, John and Alex
ander O'Neill and Thomas and Michael
Holdcn, each with a two-horse team, start
ed for Willmar with wheat, on Tuesday
last, nnd were found on Friday about
ten miles from home in a terrible condi
tion. Two of tho O'Neils aud one of tho Hold
ens wcro found iu sleighs frozen to death.
The others were alive, but will scarcely
survive. Five ox teams, in tho same
vicinity, were found frozcu to death ; the
drivers aro supposed to havo abandoned
their teams and been frozen to death. At
the Herman station, on the St. Paul and
Pncitic railroad,, a man was frozen to death
while going frcm tho depot to the water
tank.
At New Ultn a little boy, while endea
voring to reach his home, wandered eight
miles and perished, nnd a man was found
frozen to denth near St. Peicrs.
One hundred and forty one murders
have been committed in the city of New
York, during the past threo years. It is
only necessary to say that but two execu
tions have taken placo iu that city in tho
past two years, to show how few murder
ers are punished.
At n meeting of tho coal men, held at
Poot villa ou Monday, the operators aoccpt
ed tho offer of minimum of two dollars and
and seventy-live cents for dav wages, and
sliding above the sum named at tho rate
ofonecentin three for auy advanco in
coal. Several collieries went to work yes
terday, and there will bo a general resump
tion of work throughout the coat region
immediately.
The official vote in Clearfield county
on Prohibitum is for license, U-o : against

the thitly-one election districts in tho
county, nine give majorities for license
and " twenty-two nuainst. Clearfield
borough voted 113 for lisense to 161
against.

Letter from I'hlladelphla.
Philadelphia, January 10, 1873.
Friend inirfrt:
Since my last we've passed through the
holiday season, aud have had some severe,
aud very peculiar weather. The day after
Christmas wo were visited by ono of the
heaviest snow storms known for very roa-
ny years. Itll us it is a very raro thing
l litii-rt tv.ni-n I linn re rtan'a rwwl nlnirrlitnrv !
vu iiuiv iuuiu i nan vtiv it a j o uiu otuigiuu j
in
in
a the city, and seldom more than a week (
n the vicinity. Ibis time it lasted iu tho .
city, in 6iileudid coudition, over a week,
and now remains excellent outside of tho
city. It seemed to be of tho depth of 18 or
20 inches, and completely blocked up all
railroads, and was a source or great iucou
venience to those having to uso the Btreels.
On Friday the 3d, we had another weather
phenomenon a very singular thing indoed.
it was a lima tiav, ana tno snow inciting
fast, and a dense log overhanging the city,
so ueuse that lights or buildings wcro not
disccrnable at the distance of a square. Ono
had to wait on the street corneas tor the
street cars in a worse state than at night,
for usually at night their lights can be seen,
aud one knows of their drawing uigh. Iu
this case patieut wailing, in uucertainty,
was the only thing to bo done. I ha day
before having had occasion to go to Wii-
nuugtou, Delaware, t noticed now lull mo
Delaware was of ice, and not A vessel to be
seen. It has beeu a great draw back to
our commerce this wiuter, and bitterly
complained of by our merchants. Mea
sures are being taken to provide more ctli
cieut ice-boats. One clear day intervening
and then we had oue of tho heaviest rains,
on Sunday, 1 havo ever noticed in wiuter.
Since then it has betm mild, and many out
door businesses havo revived, but last
night old Jack Frost paid us a visit, and
to-day we have ono ot those clear, biting,
cold days. A much mooted question, now
a days is, have our seasons changed Y
Thuuder and lightuiug, as we had iu De
cember, and dense fogs in January, seem
better adapted to bummer aud Fall.
Christmas is the Philadelphia Holiday as
New Year's is that of Jiew York, and, us a
consequence, more generally observed, and
vice versa in New York. Here, on New
Year's day, busiuess, except in Banks, &c.,
sccuied to move ns ubuiiI, till uoon, but on
Christmas day, only those were open who
wero interested ns venders of Holiday pre
sents. Our city is not given much to the
New Year calling, foe which we may be
thaukful ; still there is more of it than is
well. 1 was particularly disgusted at one
case coming under my notice passing along
thu street a well-dressed man leaving a
door, fell tlat. Is it auy wonder our peo
ple become more and more intemperate.
year by year, when to the fatal fascination
ot me tempting dowi, lair women auu ineir
charms as bar-tenders V It is vile, and I
hone our fair citv will not adout the custom
any moro geuurally than she lias, aud that
year by year the good sense ot Her people
may bauisu it entirely.
1 no great railroad, the iteading, made us
employees a baudsome present upon New
1 ear's day, to eacli a new unilorm. I liey
bad not been before uniformed, and wish
iug them to be bo, the Company generously
donated them their lirst suit. It seems
more like fuir dealin tlmu is the case with
mauy other roads, which require their men
to pi ovule tb.'inseives out pi ineir meagre
earuings prauauiy taking tne very Dread
and butter, from tlvsirt families or,. as an
employee of such a road ouc said, to lue,
"compel their poor brakemeu to go on two
meals a day."
Our various military and other organiza
tions tire preparing tor the Uovernor's in
auguratiou, which promises fair to be oue
of the grandest ever held. The State will
breathe freer with the hero of Fort Stead
mau at its helm. The present occupant
seems to be pervaded with too rnucb ol
"Lookout" nature that is, lok out for
himself. His last pardon, turm iz loose
such a notorious scoundrel a Bob Lister
Smith, of this city, has been the "hair that
has brokeu tho Camel's back" or the pa
lienca of tbo people. As the Bulletin says :
