By reference to the apportionment bill
ia another column, as it passed the Legis
lature, it will be seen that Union, Snyder
and Northumberland counties compose tbe
27th Senatorial district. Stronj: efforts
were made to connect this county with
Montour and Columbia, which wore only
frustrated by the Hon Charles S. Wolf,
member of Union county, who saved the
Republicans of this county from an irre
deemable Democratic district. We cer
tainly feel crateful to Mr. Wolf for bis re
cognition and untiring efforts, and congra
tulate bim upon bis success in bavins the
district formed as it now is, in opposition
to both our members and Senator, who
were aided by a few professing Republi
cans desiring to have this Senatorial district
Detnocatic, from selfish motives. While
Mr. Wolf was always active in protecting
the interests of his constituents, tbe Rcpub
cans of this county are greatly indebted to
bim for bis wale hfulness over their inter
ests during the past two years in the Leg
islature. There is still much complaiut among
all classes in regard to bard times. Con
gress thus far has not succeeded in passing
a bill tliat will give relief, and until some
thing is done to give an impetus to busi
ness, money matters will be tight. Tbe
principle fault apjiears in a loss of confi
dence, which has put a check to the ad
vancement of trade and business generally.
Were our manufacturers to gel plenty of
orders laborers would be in demand, and
money would soon find its way out of the
vaults of our banks and get in circulation.
Capital and labor have always mutually
advanced ia this country. We do not
mean the capital that makes money out of
mouey and simply flourishes upon the
wants and misfortunes of others, but the
active capital which utilizes labor and
shares the risks of labor. This description
'of capital is at present in sympathetic suf
fering with labor, and until opportu nity is
afforded for the active employment of both
there can be no solid and lasting prosperity-
Our county Commissioners got through
holding the appeals in the different districts
of the county a few days ago. They had
several more districts than any previous
board, and we are informed that their ex
penses have been over a hundred dollars
less than tlie Democratic Commissioners of
former years. Can any of the members of
of the Democratic Ring, tell us why there
is such a falling off in tlie traveling ex
penses of the Republican board of Commis
sioners. Tub death of Edgar Thompson, Presi
dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad on tbe
i ult. creates a vacancy in that office. It
is generally conceded in Philadelphia (bat
CoL Thomas A. Scott will be his succesor
as he has been Vice President of the road
for a number of years.
Since writing the above we learn that a
meeting of the board of directors was
held at Philadelphia, on Wednesday last,
and Col. Thomas A. Scott was elected un
unanimously to Gil the vacancy of tbe office
of President of the Pennsylvania railroad
company.
At a recent meeting of the Schuylkill
county Republican Executive Committee,
the delegates were instructed to vote solid
for CoL Robert B. Death for Secretary of
Internal affairs. In commenting the
Jtners Journal says : "In all the posi
tions which Col. IJeath has occupied from
the time be resided In our midst up to tlie
time of his merited electiou to tbe Surveyor
Generalship, and during his occupancy of
that office, his course has been that of an
honest, trustworthy man. As good an
officer in civil as be was in military affairs ;
as firm and courageous in the right now
as wheu the country needed true, brave
men to crush a causeless rebellion, we be
lieve that his fellow citizens here and every
where throughout Pennsylvania will take
pleasure in recognizing and rewarding his
services by placing bim in tlie position for
which ho is named."
Decrease of the Public Debt. The
public debt during the month of May was
decreased $4,456,838 C7. Tbe policy of
gradual decrease is still pursued by tbe Ad
ministration,nlwithstanding the cry raised
by tbe opposition press of financial misman
agement and diminished receipts. There
appears to have been money enough in the
Treasury above all tbe demands for ordin
ary and extraordinary expenses of govern
ment to allow the application during the
last month of nearly four and a half mil
lions to the reduction of the debt. Such a
fact needs no commentary. It speaks for
itself, and is the best evidence of faithful
and correct administration that could be
desired.
What's Wrong 7 We notice that our
neighbor of tbe Uazrtte endorses the re
commendation of John McFarland, of Dela
ware township as the Democratic candid
ate for the next Legislature. What is the
matter now John 1
The will of the late J. Edgar Thompson
will be admitted to probate in the course of
a few days. It is generally understood that
the instrument contains provisions that af
ter tbe death of Mrs. Thomson the estate
is to be disposed of for the purpose of erect
ing and maintaining an institution in which
children of employees of the Pennsylvania
railroad, who were killed in the discharge
of their duty, may hare a home.
The Constitution requires every person
elected to the legislature to make oath that
he has not paid or contributed, or promised
to pay or contribute, either directly, or in
directly, any money or other valuable thing
to procure nomination or election. This is
a very stringent oath. The Constitutional
prohibition referred to is one of the U-st fea
tures of that instrument. It strikes at a
vile and corrupting practice, and the citi
zens should uuite in a mass agaiust any
man who attempts to debauch the primary
meetings by the use of money. If, at the
first nomination under the provisions of the
New Constitution, the attempt to use mon
ey to influence or control the primary meet
ings is frowned down, we shall uot hereaf
ter be cursed with a repetition of it ; and if
it is not resisted, the preceden t will become
an unhealthy example that will return con
tinually, not only to plague the inventors,
but the entire community.

Auditor General Allen. An elec
tion for Auditor General will be held in
November next, and it seems to be gener
ally conceded that the present incumbent,
General Harrison Allen, having discharged
so faithfully and acceptably to the people
of the Statu the several duties connected
with the office, will have no competitor in
the Republican ranks for nomination, and
if nominated will run largely ahead of his
ticket, as he did two years since. From
nearly all the different counties of the State
we hear a general expression of sentiment
if favor of the reuomination of General
Allen.
The President sent to the Senate on
Monday List, the names of Geueral B. ll.
Bristow to be Secretary of the Treasury,
and of Mr. Richardson, who at present fills
that post, to be associate justice of tbe
Court of Claims. As tbe public had been
prepared for this annouccment by semi
official intimations the news created no ex
citement, and had but slight effect on the
stock board on Monday afternoon. General
Bristow's appointment, however, gives gen
eral satisfaction, even iu circles which
would have preferred a purely business
man to administer the portfolio.
Ou Tuesday the nomination of General
Biistow to be Secretary of the Treasury,
aud of Judge Richardson to be Associate
Justice of the Court of Claims, was con
firmed. There was no opposition to Gen
eral Bristow, but over the confirmation of
Richardson there was quite a debate. He
was roundly denounced both by Democrats
and Republicans, and at one time it looked
as if he would be defeated, but was finally
confirmed by two majority.
Gov. Ilartranft, in pursuance of an act

A Georgia paper advises all former slave
owners to preserve a record, in the county
clerk's offices, of their slaves, in anticipa
tion of the time when the government will
pay for the slaves freed by the war. Should
the day ever come when Congress has a
majority of men holding the views of the
newly elected Senator from Connecticut,
this claim will unquestionably 1 preferred,
and in all probability recognized.
Liability of Landlords. Few peo
ple are aware that there is on the statue
books of this State a civil damage law, un
der which the fiiends of persons injured by
the sale of liquors may recover damages.
Tbe following is the third section of the act
of May 8, 18T4 :
"Any person furnishing intoxicating
drinks to any person in violation of any ex
isting law, or of the provisions of this act,
shall be held civilly responsible for any in
jury to person or property in consequence
of such furnishing ; and any one aggrieved
may recover full damages against such
persons so furnishing, by action on the case
instituted in any court having jurisdiction
of such form of action in this State."
Recently a landlord in Blair Coounty was
sued for 81,000 damages for selling, liquor
to a man who soon after fell from a house
and was killed. The defendant settled the
case by paying tbe claiment SG00. .
A large expedition, which is likely to
prove of great interest and advantage, is
uow being fitted out at Fort Lincoln, Da
kota territory, to explore the Black Hills
country. The expedition will be under the
command of General George A. Custer.
Very little is known of the Black Hills, but
it is believed that the couutry is rich in
mineral wealth, and full of interest to the
explorer and scientist. Ten coiutiauies of
cavalry, and a detachment of scouts, and a
section of Gatling guns will acompany the
explorers.
Down on Their Senators. The Ar
kansas Legislature has, by and almost un
animous vote, passed a resolution calling
on United States Senators Clayton and
Dorsey to resign, and requesting the United
States Senate, in ease of their refusal to va
cate their Mats within ten days, to investi
gate the charges set forth in the resolution.
The charges are, that they procured their
election by bribery, treasonably cotispired
with Brooks and others to overthrow the
State government and attempted to cor
rupt the judiciary of the Slate.
Julius L. Shuman, member of the State
legislature, from Lancaster couuty, was
shot by Jacob Witmer, at Washington,
that county, on Saturday night. Witmer
was drunk, and threatened to shoot his
wife, wtien Shuman entered their house
and interfered. The bullet entered Shu
man's abadeiuen aud lodged in his spiue.
He died on Monday morning.
Senator Cameron introduced a reso
lution into the Uuited States Seuate a few
days ago relative to a survey of the Sus
quehanna with reference to the steamboat
navigation of that river. It is suggested
that the improvement of the river below
Columbia, Lancaster county, should be by
the enlargement of the Tide-water Caual,
or by a new canal on the Lauctster side,
perhaps one around Conewago Falls, and
along the river elsewhere by dams and
locks. Colonel James Worrall, of Harris
burg, a practical eugineer, who knows the
Susquehanna better than the seaman knows
the sea, expresses the opinion that the
plan is entirely feasible. Geo. W. Harris,
Esq., a native of Harrisburg, now a resi
dent of Washington, advocated this scheme
in 18.13, and in 1834 reported from a meet
ing at Harrisburg a memorial asking Con
gress to inquire into the subject. It is im
possible to overestimate the advantages to
result from any measure that would make
the beautiful Susquchauna navigable for
steamboats. It penetrates a region of mar
vellous beauty and boundless resources.

TheCkntknnial. The failure of Con
gress, through the indifference of certain
members to the exhibition of a high and
loyal sentiment at the one hundredth anni
versary of American Independence, calls
for actiou from the people of this Common
wealth. It was here in this State that the
mighty idea was conceived. It was here
that the most intimate associations of the
Government in its primitive days are to be
found. The Declaration of Independence
received existence iu this State, and our
State's history forms the most important
part in the history of the earlier days of
the Republic. In the confines of our State
are treasured the relics of the first stages
of tlie Government ; therefore belongs to
us a pride in the Centennial far deeper,
more identical, more 8uul-stirring than
could infuse others. It is an object that
should warm every hart with the noble
nass of its purpose. It should stimulate
our people, though not cucouraged by
others to work zealously and earnestly.
Time and money devoted to this cause is a
gift toward the perpetuatiou of the Repub
lican Govern tueuL Our success will form
an epoch in the history of our State as
our Government, expressive of our grati
tude to the forefathers, and enact a com
memoration of the dawn of independence.
Its achievement by us would crown us
with the laurels of honor and show to the
New England States where the strength of
opposition lies that we are equal to any
task where the representation of our houor
is at stake. New England's opposition
arises through jealousy ; the theatre of this
grand event should be in their midst, and
the lustre from what the nation's people
have done render praise to them. These
are tlie thoughts of those lacking breadth
of judgment who opposed it iu Congress
and who are avowedly stublxjru against
its taking place elsewhere.
Their plea is economy ; as decidedly
weak as it is absurd. Economy, honest,
judicious aud subservient to the nation's
money's safety would be a good basis of
policy for any Congressman to act upou.
It is but seldom that we see it, and now
when a matter comes up in which the peo
ple's patriotism is imperiled if the proper
recognition is not taken, the cry of econo
my suddenly becomes a matter worthy of
consideration in Congress. As we have
said before, it is weak and absurd. Econo
my has been too long apparent and neglect
ed iu our Government, for this subterfuge
stimulated by jealously, to make our people
credulous to anything but the spirit in
which it comes. The Centennial is not
the few, but the demand of the American
people, of the State of Pennsylvania and
wherever Republican sentiment exits. We
hope, therefore, that a new feeliug will pre
vail in Congress when the matter is next
taken up and the bill passed. If not then
it behooves us to carry on the work which
has now been Ix-gun in the face of opposi
tion aud push it to a glorious success.

THE STAGE DRIVERS' STRIKE WHAT IT
IS AHOUT, OLD KIPP KNOCKING DOWN
LAROR DRINKING THE WEATHER.
New York, June 2, 1874.
THE ST ACE DRIVERS' STRIKE.
Last Monday the stage drivers' of New
York struck for an advance of wages.
They have been receiving $2.50 per day,
and struck for 33.00. Monday and Tues
day the hundreds of thousands of people
who depend upon the stages, to get up and
down town, were compelled to fall back
upon the street cats, or walk. Half took
the street cars and the other half plodded
their weary way on foot.
It is singular how little a thing makes
or mars the happiness of the denizen of
Gotham. In this matter of transportation,
for instance, anything that interferes with
it, in however blight a degree, works dis
comfort in the whole city. The transpor
tation capacity is deficient at best, and if
anv one of the means of going to aud fro
is withdrawn, all the other methods are
overburdened to an unbearable degree.
Heuce the public shuddered when the
stage drivers dismounted from their boxes,
and the stages stopped. Broadway imme
diately assumed a queer aspect. You could
actually cross it iu safety. The thousand
stages taken otf, so reduced the number of
vehicles, that the street lost its crowded
appearance and became a quiet orderly
place.
The drivers ought to have got the ad
vance they asked for, for their is nothing
in the way of labor, so severe as theirs.
They are seated in their boxes, though it
may rain, hail or shine, seventeen hours
each day, except Sunday, and the skill re
quired is very great. It is no small matter
to guide a stage through the great crush
of vehicles that crowd Broadway, with one
eye on one side aud the other ou the other
watching for passengers. It is a trade that
requires .years of practice.
The strike revealed a queer thing. The
custom has always been for the drivers to
receive the fares. You got into the stage
and poked your teu cents up through a hole
to the driver, who deposited it iu a box, aud
was supposed to turn it over to the pro
prietors at the end of the round. So long
as this way of doing things continued, the
Jehus never said anything about wages.
They were satisfied with $2.50 per day,
for they paid themselves, such a salary as
they saw fit. They turned over at the end
of the trip what they pleased. But last
fall the proprietors, put in each stage, a
glass-box, into which the passengers de
posited their own fare. Then trouble en
sued. Theie was no more "knocking
down." The driver got his 82.50 per day,
and nothing more or less. Then he struck
for more pay, and for two days the public
did without stages.
Of course the drivers were beaten.
There are, to-day, fifty thousand able
bodied men in New York with nothing to
do, who would jump at the chance to get
work at $1.50, no matter what it might be,
and the companies found enough capable
of doing this work, and they mounted them
at once, and on Wednesday the trouble
was over.
Speaking of drivers, there is a legend
connected with Col. Kipp, of the old firm
of Kipp & Brown, the oldest stage proprie
tors in this city. In those days the fare
was six pence. Kipp was on a hay loft at
the terminal stable, and he observed a
driver who just made his trip and put out
his horses, take out his box to fix things
for making his return to the cashier. He
emptied out a pile of silver sixpences, and
in an audible voice said : "This is for old
Kipp ; this for me ; this for old Kipp, and
this for me," aud bo on until he had divid
ed the pile in two parts. There happened
to be an odd sixpence. "Shall I give this
to old Kipp, or shall I keep it," he said to
himself. Old Kipp is a pretty good man
he shall have it. No, I guess not. It's
been a hot day, and I want a mug of ale,
and I'll keep it," ,
Just then Kipp slid down to him.
"John," said he, "you are discharged.
You'll never drive stage for me again. I
don't object to an even divide, but I want
you to understand that if there is an odd
sixpence, it's mine. Get out, you thief."
And the driver went his way sadly.
Speaking of
"knocking down,"
as this kind of thievinz is called, it per
vades almost all kinds of business. Anent
the stage drivers strike, I had a conversa
tion with a street car conductor yesterday.
"Every body knocks down," was his
frank confession.
"But what slops you from taking all you
want ?" said I. "The money all passes
through your hands, and there is no way
of checkiug it."
"Averages do it," was his reply. "They
know what every trip ought to yield.
Tke a fair, cool day, and less people take
cars than in rainy or hot days. But the
owners know just how much money will
get into the car this day, and I return mo
ney to that amount. If my return is less
than the man who has the car behind me,
I go. The average is exact, and we make
it. You have noticed how anxious we are
to net passengers. That is to make a trip
above the average."
"Aud the amount above the average V"
A significant cough was his answer.
"We hate to have new mea come on the
line," he continued ; "because they turn
over for the first week or two all that they
collect, aud the company srowls at the rest
of us. But we make 'em knock down to
to the point, or we make it hot for 'em."
The conversation was interesting to me,
and 1 wanted to continue it, but my con
ductor caught sight at this moment of a
fat woman, two square off, who was mak
ing a frantic effort to reach the car, and he
stopped for her. Her six cents was what
he wanted to help swell his average, and
he got it.
But you can see what chance there is for
a man to keep honest under a system that
compels him to be a thief in order to retain
his place. And speaking of
LABOR,
Don't let any young or old men come to
get work at this time. There is scarcely
any building in progress. Trade is so
wretchedly dull that manufacturers are
discharging hands daily. This is true of
all the trades and occupations. There are
more than 50,000 men doiug nothing in
New Y'ork this moment, and the number
is increasing hourly. Keep away from
New York. Living is fearfully high ;
labor is scarce, and wages low. Think of
the case of poor Adolph Lessure, yesterday,
He landed with his wife and two children
four weeks ago. He was a skilled cabinet
maker, but could get no work. They con
sumed the little money they had, of course,
and Adolph begged. Finally, last Tues
day he got something to do, and he went
home joyfully to his wife to tell her that at
least they had their bread assured. She
asked him what the wages were, and he
told her, and ran away to his newly found
work.
He returned at night, and found his
children crying and calling for their mam
ma. Half suspecting what had happened,
he rushed into their wretched bed-room
and his worst fears were realized. On
their poor bed lay his wife, dead, a pan of
charcoal explaining her death, and on the
stand a note addressed to him with these
words :
Dear Adolph : The wages will just
feed and clothe you and the children. I
go. Farewell ! Marrie.
And so it was ! The poor woman, lov
iug her husband and children better thau
she loved herself deliberately embraced the
hereafter rather than to shorten their sup
plies by the amount that she should con
sume. Poor woman ! Let us hope that
in the next world the crime of self-murder
will be balanced by the motive that led to
it.
modern drinking customs.
The drinking customs of society form a
curious topic of study. One hundred years
ago people of Anglo-Saxon stock drank
coarse, alcholic drinks to the most beastly
excess. The habit was uuiversal, and
practiced openly and without disgrice.
Men of all degrees literally wallowed in
drunkenness, and the number of bottles a
sound drinker could put under his belt and
live was a matter of proud boasting.
The refinement, and, it may be added,
the hypocrisy, of modern society has
changed all this, and made it disreputable
to drink deeply, and, in many parts of our
own country, to drink at all. But in fact,
is there less consumption of alcholic drinks
than went on a century ago ? I believe
the amouut consumed will be fouud to be
abuut the same per head, and that the vari
ous temperance movements have not essen
tially lessened the amount used. The way
of using it has changed aud what was form
erly practiced openly is now done in secret,
and orgies which would have set English
society a blushing iu the time of Georges,
are uow occurring under the safe roof of
many a brown stone dwelling along the
avenue. 1 kuow a lady aud she is not
the only one of great attractiveness and
power, well born, well bred aud imparting
all grace to a high social station, who goes
to bed with almost knightly regularity in
a situation of iucbriety. Her husband aud
a few intimate friends know of her misfor
tuue, and all means have failed to check
her secret consumption of wine. If we
could lift otf the roofs of the houses of the
great city, where secrecy is easy and temp
tations thick and powerful, we should be
staggered at the disclosures, and believe
what I think is true, that while society
changes aud modifies vices, it has as many
at one time as another.
And now that I think of it, I don't be
lieve that drinking is any more a secret
than it used to be. Walk through Water
or any of the low streets in New York and
you will see whole blocks of rum-mills, at
which liquor is sold openly and without
concealment. (Jo up in the respectable
portion of the city, and it is just as bad.
There is uot a block on Broadway which
does not contain a dozen, and ou the side
streets the number is appalliug. A man
doing business on Wall Street, and liviing
in Fourteenth, will pass ou the way up
town, uot less than two hundred drinking
places. And they all do business. They
pay from $5,000 to $12,000 per annum
rent, and the amount of alcholic beverages
that must be sold to pay this expense may
be imagined. The millenium is not yet at
hand.
the weather
continues glorious. New York has the
most magnificent springs of auy city on
the globe. The weather is warm, but the
air is bracing and healthy. But woe to
the dwellers here a month hence.

"For the Blood I the lire.'
See Denteronomy Chan. xii. Verse 23.
The blood being the source from which our
systems are built up and from which we
derive our mental as well as physical capa-
Di lilies, now important that it suould be
kept pure. If it contains vile festering
poisons all orgauie functions are weakened
thereby. Settling upon important organs,
as the lungs, liver or kidneys, the effect is
is most disastrous. Hence it behooves
every one to keep their blood in a perfectly
healthy condition and more especially does
this apply at this particular season of the
year than at any other. No matter what
the exciting cause may be, the real cause
of a large proportion of all diseases is bad
blood. Now Dr. Pierce does not wish to
place his Golden Medical Discovery in the
catalogue of quack patent nostrums by re
commending it to cure every disease, nor
does ke so recommend it, on the contrary
there are hundreds of disease that be ac
knowledge will not cure : but what he does
claim is this, that there is but one form of
blood disease that it will not cure, and that
disease is cancer. He does not recommend
his Discovery for that disease, yet he knows
it to be tbe most searching blood cleanser
yet discovered, and that it will free the
blood poisons, be they animal, vegetable or
mineral. The Golden Discovery is tccir-
ranted by him to cure the worst forms of
Skin Diseases, as all forms of Blotches,
Pimples and Eruptions, also all Glandular
Swellings, and the worst form of Scroful
ous and Ulcerated Sores of Neck, Legs or
other parts, and all Scrofulous Diseases of
the Bones, as White Swellings, Fever Sores,
Hip Joints and Spinal Diseases, all of which
belong to Scrofulous diseases.
confixed rap joint diiease cured.
W. Crove Station, Ia., July 14, 1S72.
Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. :
Bear Sir My wile first became lame
nine years ago. Swellings would appear
and disappear on her hip, and she was grad
ually becoming reduced, and her whole
system rotten with disease. In 1371 a
swrlling broke on her hip discharging large
quantities, and since that time there are
several openings. Have had five doctors
at an expense of $125, who say nothing
will do any cood but a surgical operation.
July 10th, 1873, he writes thus : My
wife has certainly received a great benefit
from the use of your Discovery, for she was
not able to get off the bed and was not ex
pected to live a week when she commenced
using it, a year ago. She has been doing
most of her work for over six months. Has
used twenty bottles and still using it. Her
recovery is considered as almost a miracle,
and we attribute it all to the use of your
valuable medicine. I can cheerfully re
commend it as a blood purifier and strength
restorer. J. M. ROBINSOK.
