acmtown Record, nppenrs to bo nRRi icvud
in liia last issue la coimcqucnco ofhis not
having received from the Commissioners of
tlio oounty, the Auditors' Report for pub
lication. John has been very unfortunate
in his tiitrc. John hns in numerous in
Mtancuft failed iu his political aspirations.
Johu having failed in his very early careef
as nn office seeker by reason of a want of
coufidence ou the pait of his party, and by
reason of ehagriu In consequ;nco thorebf
be bus embarked in the newapaper 'busi
ness for the purpose of paying back some
of his parllsanWftiffa to whom he supposes
himstlf Indebted Jdlin was once blind
folded, and in Hint wise 'U d to disappoint
ment, in the case of a certain agreement.
This occurrence took place at the lime his
youthful aspirations prompted him to mo
destly oik ibr the office or Deputy Sheriif,
and the circumstance seems to have soured
John's temper ever since. He Is now try
ing,since hh efforts ut vengeance against his
blinfoldcrs.'hao proved abortive, to push
himself into the good graces of his old parti
tions, by endeavoring to mislead those
who do not examine our comity matters
as close 'as they should, and to prevcut
the evtf ' effects of this little deception, we
will answer his matterof last week.
The editor says that we stated several
years ago, "that the county was 94,000 in
debt." The editor knows this to be Incor
rect. We stated that the King had Vie use
of $04,000 nunually, which they wero ex
pending, and a large amount left in tire
hands of tlie collectots upon which they
were tijKCuluting, which should be collected,
and .paid on the indebtedness of the county,
the interest of which alone lait year, was
e-.'OJT 43; (see Auditor's Report.) AVe de
nounced the extravagant expenditure
of these 894,000. We had reference to
the exorbitant prices paid on bridge con
tracts, on road views, clerk hire, fuel the
general management about the Court
House, and the amount paid to a lot of
loungers who frequented the offices daily,
waiting to secure a fctt crumbs, which the
editor knows was correct, as ho was one
who solicited small jobs, which were
charged as incidental expeuscs, or miscel
laneous items. The editor says he expect
ed to discover some "astouuding develop
ments." No doubt of it. There was no
oue who was better acquainted with the
operations of the ''King" thau he was, and
that is just what many are afraid of now
that some of their transactions will be dis
covered and exposed. Every one kuows
that the present board of Commissioners
had but a small share in the transactions re
corded in the late report, as the board was
only organized two month's previous to the
closing of the report. Wo can assure the
editor too, that more was accomplished iu
these two mou'.hs towards collecting iu the
outstanding taxes, and towards abolishing
the evils that have existed, by cutting down
expenses, than was done for five years pre
vious. Through the excellent manage
ment of the present board, we have now
every prospect of having the indebtedness
of the county reduced instead of increas
ed, hereafter. All the ili 111 runt avenues of
extravagance which have been draining
our treasury have been closed. Where it
required two or three clerks to do the busi
ness of the Commissioners, theie is but one
who does all the business, and finds suffi
cient time besides to clean up the office,
which was found iu a very disorderly con
dition ; he has placed matters in a bctte r
shape.' Nor do we see any hangers on
about the offices. The printing of political
-documents for distribution in the county,
Ac, which the people paid for, has also
been discontinued. We can assure our
friend of the Jitnird that if he will visit thu
Commissioners1 office now, he will find an
entirely different a'.mosphcre from what it
was heretofore, aud that business is trans
acted by the officer themselves instead of a
group who formerly managed the board of
Connninbiouers, so that each got an acre to
farm whereon a livelihood was obtained at
the expense of the tax-payers. .
As to the Auditor's lleport, if our friend
John will glance ut it again, he will find
tjmt his Democratic frieuds last year were
not far behind those of previous years. lie
will notice that several accounts of former
officers nre well put ou ns well ns the ex
penses of other officers. As 'ulhecxpcusesof
the present Commissioners during the com
ing yenr, wc have reason U believe they
will be much less thau Arnncrly, as they
economize in every department. We
know that iu oue item, lately, they saved
the county some itiuu hundred dollars.
I Jist year the Cwiimiesioucrt were advised
to have a docket transcribed which cost
them tf'.t.'iO, aud tho job given to two
other officials. Lately the Commissioners
were advised to have another transcribed,
but believing that the price was too high,
they had the document rebound for $'J
which is now as good as the oue transcrib
ed at an expense of jf'JOO, thus having that
amount on a siugle item. There arc other
items of th same character, which, when
the uext report appear, will bo considera
bly reduced. So we would adviscour frieud
to be patient, for if there is any chance to
get ut the records of the past, the "astouish
ing developments" may prove greater for
him than he auticipates.

LOSS OF A WHITESTAR STEAMER.
HfeVfch Hundred Llrea I-ostt.
All nil Womkn aud Cbildhem Duowpcd .
Halifax, N. S.', April 1. This after
boon a report was circulated that a steamer
had been wrecked on the coast, aud seve
ral lives lost. It was at tlrst regarded as
a cruel April fool hoax, but to-night the
Cunard agent here received news that it
was all true, and only a little of the truth
had been told, the fact being that tho W Into
Star atpamer Allan tic. Captain Willams,
from Liverpool for New York, while com.
In; to this port for coal, struck on Mea
gher's Hock, near Prospect, twenty-two
miles west of Halifax, aud became a 'total
wreck. Of about .oue thousand souls on
board upward of seven hundred wcredrown
ed. Third Officer Hrady arrived here to
night, and says tjio Atlantic left Liverpool
on Mareh 20, with Upwards nf nine hun
dred steerage and about 'fifty cabin .paasen
gcrs. THE StrrTLY OF COAL EXHAUSTED.
She experienced rough weather during
the passage, but all went well until noon
on Mouday, March 31, when her supply
of coal became exhausted. Thu capt iiu
determined to put into Halifax, and the
captain and third officer were on deck un
til midnight. Her position was then fudg
ed to be Sambro light bearing N. N. W-.
thirty- nine miles.
Thc'captuin went wto his chart room,
leaving orders to be called if there was anV
change in the ship's position. lirady went
to bed about thu same 'lime as tboHjaptuin.
TlfE SHIP BTftlKts THE SHORE.
The next thing he remembers is that he
was thrown out of bis buuk, and felt thu
ship strike several times. lie then rushed ,
on deck, and found the captain and officers
there, and the deck full of passengers.
He got an nxo and commenced to clear
away the boats. The captain and other
officers were busy doing the same thing.
Hrady got his boat out, and put two wo
men in it. A number of men attempted to
get iuto it, and about a dozen succeeded.
Just ut that moment the steamer fell over
ou her beam ends and sank.
TEKKIBLE SCENES.
Only one boat had teen got out and that
wasafricd down by the steamer, and all
in It lost. Brady scrambled iuto the ruiz
zen rigging, which was above the water,
and seeing tic 'could do nothing there, went
forward and unwove the halyards, beiug
assisted by Quurtermasters pcakman aud
Owen.
He then took the halyards tfnd all three
swam to the rock. The line was hauled
ashore and a number of passengers landed
by it. A number had got ou it, but as tho
tido was rising, their situatio n was no bet
ter than on the vessel.
BESCt'ED BY FISHERMEN.
Just then fishermen ou shore camo out
in boats and rescued those on the rock aud
a large number from the riggiug. Brady
remained at the scene until noon to-day,
when all who were alive ou board had been
saved, except Chief Officer Mr. Firth, who
was in the rigging shouting for help.
l!ra.y ra.ye he tried to get a crew to go
to Firth's rescue, hut the sea was so heavy
that nobody would volunteer. Altogther
about 250 ttcvbous were saved, including
Captain AN illtums, also Fourth Officer
Brown, the doctor aud several of the en
gineers aud sailors
NOT A WOMAN OH CHILD SAVED.
Nut a single woman or child was saved.
Most of them, as well as hundreds of men,
were drowned iu their berths. The ship
struck about two A. M., the weather at
the time being dark but not thick, with a
rough sea.
Steamers are goiug dowu to-night to
render what assistance they possibly can.
All the pei.ple saved from the wreck, ex
cept Brady, are still at Prospect, where the
lisliermeu are giving them all possible at
tention. New York, April 1. Among the cabin
passengers lost on the Atlantic, the only
ones kuowu are William II. Merrilt aud
wife of New York, Miss Merritt his sister,
The State Appropriation to tho
(t'uteuuial.
The bill making the appropriation of
$250,000 to the Centennial, leaving the
ballance of the million dollars to be col
lected from the street railroad companies
of Philadelphia, is too long for publication,
and wc therefore content ourselves with
giving the following synopsis :
The bill appropriates oue milliou dollars
for a payment building to be erected iu
Fairmouut Park : aud prescribes the
sou fees from whence the money shall be
derived, and the limes aud conditions un
der which it shall be paid. The revenue is
to be collected by a lax of three per cent,
on the gross receipts of every street pas
senger railway ; commencing July instant
aud contiuuiii" to the first day of 1877.
Aud iu the event that this tax tails to pro
duce the whole sum i it is stipulated that
the State Treasury shall Hot be liable for
nunc than one-quarter uf the total. The
railway companies are compensated by a
stipulation that their fares shall uot bo 're
duced by legislation so long as Ibis tax
ruus, uor shall any penalties be inflicted
for previous violations of charters. The
building for which the appropriation is
made is to be erecled by the Centennial
Commission, who may draw any sum less
thau the a; gr -gate receipts from the tax
the current year, and less than 300.000
annually thu two following years, the re
sidue being payable July 4, 1S70. But be
fore auy Million of the Slato appropriation
can be demanded, it must be known that
oue million dollars have beeu subscribed
by thu citizens of Philadelphia to the
stock of the Commission, and half that
sum appropriated by the city, and that a
contract has been made for a permanent
fireproof building in Fairmouut Park, that
shall cost ut least $1,500,01)0. It is further
stipulated that this building shall always
remain ojicu for the exposition of the art,
iudustry, mechanism, products of the soil
and wines of the State, aud lor the enjoy
ment of the people under such regulations
as may be prescribed by the proper autho
rities tho Fairmouut Park Commission
ers, the Stales Centeuuial Sunerviaora and
repveseniauves oi the city. Tue contribu
tions of olhcr States aud of foreigu countries
are also to be admitted without unfriendly
discrimination. The building itself will be
in charge of the United Slates Centennial
Supervisors during the Exposition, exclu
sively. Uutii completed, Die control vests
iu tho Board of State Centennial Supei vi
sors. The function of this body, of whom
Aloxander Henry, J. GUliugbssi Fell and
John Q. James are the members, is to ex
amine the plans, approve and certify the
! contracts to the Governor. The Governor
is directed to draw his warrent for $50,000
whenever tho expenditure readies twice
that sum, and for the whole rrsidae of the
Appropriation 'when the onlay ts thus

We give below extracts from the Vhitatlcl
phia 1'rctM, on tho national finances by the
government :
We repeat at this juncture whal we have
often declared before, that the business
wants of the country demand nn enlarged
paper circulation, fjiilil the next Congress
meets the business of fixing the legal ten
der issue is in the hands of Secretary Rich
ardson. If he should follow out strictly
the policy pursued by Mr. Boutwell the
country will so Her, perhaps, to a disastrous
extent before Congress can relievo it.
, DANOEIt OF A l'ANICV .
The dullness of general trade, the diffi
culty experienced by even some of our
richest houses iu meeting their financial
obligations, and the evident ioverly ot our
banks in the matter of reserves, all point
to the fact that something must be done to
save the country from what may yet drift
into a mouey pauio uot a mere Third or
Wall slreet disturbance, butu genuine busi
ness crisis, which will damage the enter
prises, check the growth of the country to
an extent that would be ruinous, and assail
eve'i'y working interest which might lie in
progress from Maine to California.
While there are no indications at present
of such a eondition of affairs being likely to
be soon witnessed, we cannot ignore the ;
fact that thu causes for it exist. A little
further tampering with the gold and money
markets, and a little more straining on thu
part of our merchants and the slender
thread of men tie conlidenco will snap.
The banks have done their utmost, and in
this country no power but the government
can now check the machinations of Wall
street raiders, seem to be preparing for a
fresh demonstration.
THE TKEASUUY AND TFIE fONSPIKATOtlS.
The banks are helpless, but the Treasury
contains the means to defeat conspiracy
atid assist legitimate enterprise, and we
hope for the sake of a long-sulfering people,
thst Mr. Hicliatdsou will turn a deaf car
to those who shriek out "inflation" because
he issues to the nation that medium of
trade which is just now so accessary.
There can bo no iuflatioii unless the sum
is beyond our necessities, and certainly the
fourty-four millions now in the Treasury, if
issued, would barely meet tho absolute
wants of our business men. Prompt and
decided aetion is necessary. If a govern
ment cannot or dare not protect its people
against the glgautic conspiracies of lawless
speculators, the sooner it is supplanted by
oue 8ufficieully vigorous the belter.
Tub Philadelphia Lcdyir has been look
iug up the law as to the seizind of the goods
of tenants for the payment of taxes on real
estate and can find no acts of the legisla
ture ; and it further asserts that where ie
;al resistance is made, the Collectors ftbau
dou their attempt to make such seizure.
It further stales, however, that where a
collector makes a demai d for taxes upon
a tenant, the tenant can make the payment
and deduct the same from rent due, and
the owner can make no resistance to such
deduction. It would consequently seem
to be good policy to make the payment
whenever the demand is ruadc to avoid
trottbrc wilh the collector.
The Danville Strike. The men of
the Danville mills have bccti nn a slrike
for a long lime. The UloouVsburg Colum
bian states thu position as follows : All'.tirs
iu Danville are rapidly assuming a bad
complexion, au-d much anxiety is felt in
consqueuce. The men who are out of em
ployment seem to be growing reckless, and
acts of violence are reported, which, if true,
will inevitably turn the current of public
sympathy against Ham. Two or three
casca of assault are reported, the victims
being men who desire to work. We are in -formed
thai the mill of Waterman &
Beaver was set on lire on Sunday morning
last, but fortunately the flames were ex
tinguished with a loss of about 200.
Waterman & Beaver have eudeavored to
effect a compromise by offeriug their strik
ing puddlers SO per ton. This the men re
fuse, aud demand $15.50 per ton. Mr. Fow
ler last week was compelled to blow out his
furnaces on account of the opposition of
his men. This unfortuuatu state of affairs
is much to be regretted, as it effects the
the material iulerests of the town, the lul
terests of ihe Workinguich and the inter
cats of the employers.
