SUNBURY, FEBRUARY 5, 1S75.
Aristocratic Democrats. The De
mocrats of old, known in Jefferson '8 time
as Republicans were an honest, industrious
and independent class of men, who did not
believe in sinecures, nr men holdiojz offices
without performing their duties. Not so
with modern Democrats. Take for in
stance in a wnall way, Dr. Dewitt and his
deputy transcribing clerk, and our recently
elected county Auditor, Mr. Ilotunstine
whose Democracy is bo highly concentrated
in his own person that he has refused to do
a single day's work in auditing the ac
counts of tlie county. He says that he was
elected not to do the work but to look on
and see that it is doue. The result is Mr.
Eisely and Mr. Muench, the other two
auditors have been obliged to do all the
labor, while this hiph priest of Democracy
has done nothing but annoy them in the
the discharge of their duties. As a tax pay
er we protest against any payment being
made by the Commissioners to Mr. Hotten
stine or any other dumb Auditor. We
want no drones in office, or if we must have
dummies, let us have stuffed or wooden
ones stood up in the corners. They would
always be present and have at least the neg
ative merit of not annoying those who are
at work in performing their duties. If the
Democracy did not get possession of an
elephant when they elected Mr. Hotten
ttine, they at least got hold of an animal
with auricular appendages quite as long,
and a disposition tea times as stubborn.
Oi:r neighbor of the Daily is very fre
quently on the pensalional. in order to
make political capital. Being afraid that
the Democrats will not be able to compete
with the Republicans in managing the
County affairs, he tries to prepare the way
for their escape from censure before they
fairly have control. On Saturday last, be
published an article intended for a tre
mendous scare, in which he says money
had already to be borrowed, and that ex
travagance by the former board of com
missioners, had been as large ns that of the
Democratic Board of 1872. That there
were "but ?1S,000.00 uncollected taxes to
fall back on." On the following Wednes
day's Daily this same sensational editor
comes down beautifully, and says "the Au
ditors have concluded their report, and
that the indebtedness of the County, on
the first of January last, was $91.9".), aud
that the assets over and above this small
indebtedness is 2S,O10.40 iu outstanding
taxes." His ouly hope for political capital
of the county finances now, is in the dumb
auditor, Mr. Ilottenstiue, who, he states,
will get up a minority report, and that be
is a gentleman of sterling integritj', &c.
We are inclined to think that Democrats
will lose confidence in both the editor and
the dumb auditor when that report ap
penrs. The two auditors who did the
work are gentlemen of sterling integrity,
and of largo experience in auditing ac
counts. Mr. Eisely, who has always been
an unfliccbiug Democrat, has been noted
for twenty-five years, by his Democratic
friends and others, as one of the best ac
countants in the State, and who has hud
probably mote experience in auditing coun
ty accounts, than any man within its bor
ders, and iu whom the people have had the
most implicit confidence for honeBty aud
correctness in settling up Ihe county af
fairs. We will give our neighbor, however,
a little benefit for a sensational article, that
is, wc acknowledge that we were mistaken
as to the county being entirely out of debt,
as we find by his figures, that the county
owes just 91. 99, with assets to pay it with,
ofS2S,010.40.
The row in the House at llarrisburg,
was prolonged up to Wednesday. The De
mocrats tried to get around the difficulty of
recognizing the position Mr. Wolf has ta
ken, but failed. On Wednesday they cast
a vote of censure upon Mr. Wolf, and thus
endorsed and justified the Speaker's bigot
ry, and partisan unfairness. The blow is
not at Mr. Wolf it is at the party of which
Mr. Wolf is an active, vigilant aud un
flinching supporter. Mr. Wolf is one of
the most wido awake Republicans in the
House, and his ability and experience as
a Legislator is so far above that of the
Speaker, and Democratic side of the House,
that soaiething had to be attempted to
trample him down. But their attempt has
only served to how that an incompetent
Speaker has managed to degrade the Leg
islature. It would be well now if De
mocrats, as they afe in the majority, were
to instruct the committee on revising the
new Constitution, to embody a new section,
or pass an act making it compulsory for
teachers of schools to teach their scholars
parliamentary rules, or compel such school
teachers who may be ambitious for a spea
kership or presiding officer, to take lessons
themselves before they are eligible to such
a position. Had such a law been in force
betbre the late election of Speaker of the
House, this disgrace upon our Common
wealth would undoubtedly have been avoid
ed. A the Democratic party pretends to
be a relortu party,' we look to tbeni to
pass such an act, at an early day, to
prevent any similar occurrences in the fu
ture. The IIkv. Mr. Domer, lately of Sha
mokin, wow a rceident of Washington city,
writes to the Shamokin Times, from which
w extract the following :
Noi withstanding the deviltries of 'Cred
it Mobilier, 'Pacific Mail Subsidies,' &c,
there are some excellent men iu both
Houses of Congress, and among both par
ties ; but the uumber of such is not alarm
ingly large. One of the members for whom
1 have a very high regard and warm jer
sonal respect is the Hon. J. B. Packer from
Your own Congressional district. I bad a
very pleasant interview with him a few
days ago. He is a workxo member, and
art honorable, high minded gentleman. A
district honors itself in Bending such a re-
fresentative to Congress. We have not
icard a brcath of suspicion agaiust his
integrity aud purity amid all the rumors
of corruption which have found currency
in the land. Wc write thus outside of any
jMjiitical considerations; out of personal
respect for the man, and his meritorious
career in the Congress of the United

Kpeaker PatterNon Disgraced.
Last night there took place in the House
of Representatives one of the most exciting
scenes that has been witnessed in that bod)'
for many a day. It arose out of a b:ise
and partisan attempt of the inexperienced
and hot-headed Speaker of that body to
trample on the constitutional rights of a
minority member, and the cool and .fixed
determination of the member in question
Wolfe, of Union to resist such lawless and
unwarranted usurpation.
The facts are substantially as follows :
Mr. Talley, of Delaware county, made a
motion that the petition of sundry citizeus
of Iancastcr county, questioning the quali
fications of Mr. Rosenmiller, of said coun
ty, to a seat in the House, be taken up
from the table and referred to the Commi
tee on Elections. The point of order was
raised by Mr. Leigh, of Philadelphia, that
this could not be done because the petitiou
was presented and the motion laying it on
the table was made before the members had
been sworn in and the House organized,
aud that therefore it was not a part of its
proceedings nor in its possession. The
Speaker, Mr. Patterson, decided against
the point of order. An appeal was taken.
After considerable discussion, and not
withstanding the advancement of unan
swerable arguments in support of the
appeal, the Democratic side the Speaker,
contrary to all propriety, voting in itupport
of his own riding with but two dissenting
votes Baructt, and Carsou, of Pittsburg
all honor to the intelligence, honesty and
manly independence of these two men
voted to sustaiu the erroneous ruling of the
Chair. During the discussion of this point
of order, the Speaker, Mr. Patterson va
cated the chair, and placed Mr, Lusk of
Butler couuty, therein.
Mr. Wolfe, after the yeas and nays had
been called, but before they were announc
ed, arose and informed the Chair that he
proposed to raise and that he would pro
ceed to write out the point of order, that
as the taking up and referring of the peti
tion was, tinder the circumstances, sub
stantially and origiual presentation of the
petition, and that as the order for prescnta-1
tion of petitions had been passed it would
take a two-third vote to suspend the rules
for the purpose of receiving the etition.
The acting Speaker, Mr. Lusk, announced
the yeas and nays aud declared the deci
sion of the Chair in the original point of i
order sustained by a majority vote.
Mr. Wolfe then presented his appeal as
to its requiriug a two-third vote in the
form of a stated point of order, which was
read by the clerk. He then proceeded to
speak in support of his position, when Mr.
Talley interrupted him by raising the point
of order that Mr. Wolfe's point of order
was uot properly before the House. The !
acting Speaker, Mr. Lusk, over-ruled Mr.
Talley'e point of order, and Mr. Wolfe was
proceeding to speak in support of his point
of order, when Speaker Patterson, in a
hasty and excited maimer, resumed the
chair and called Mr. Wolfe to order and
insisted on his taking his seat. This Mr.
Wolfe refused to do, insisting that he had
the right to raise the poiut of order that
the point of order was before the House,
and that he had the right, secured to him
by the Constitution and rules of the House,
to be heard iu support of his position.
Speaker Patterson vehemently insisted on
his sitting down. Mr. Wolfe as determin
edly persisted in asserting his right to the
floor. The Sttaler then ordered the Ser-geant-at-orm
to remove Mr. Wolfe from
Ve hall
The sergeant-at-arms approached Mr.
Wolfe in a respectful manner, and request
ed him to sit down. Mr. Wolfe, in a firm
but gentlemanly manner,toId him he would
be obliged to iusist upon his rights. By
this time there was a general rush towards
Mr. Wolfe's desk, and an unanimous,
united and fierce voice went up from the
Republican side, protesting against the
outrage and declaring that Mr. Wolfe
should not be removed. For awhile there
was a considerable jostling, holding and
pushing by the members and officers by
each other, but no violence was used. The
wildest uproar and confusion prevailed.
Amid this excitement Mr. Wolfe, keeping
remarkably cool, urged his friends instead
of interfering with the scrgcant-at-arms
directly, to insist on the Speaker retracting
his order to the Sergeat at-arms to remove j
bim. !
The Speaker, finding himself in a fearful j
"hornets' nest," extricated himself from !
his very unpleasant dilemma. This ended
an affair, which, in addition to the disgrace
and fearful pecuniary loss which an incom-'
peteut aud bitterly partisan Speaker is now !
heaping on our proud old Commonwealth,
might have stained his soul by culminating
in the irreparable loss of many precious
lives.
Mr. Wolfe teas it the right, and deserves
the gratitude of every true patriot in the
Commonwealth for having the nerve to
insist that the rights guaranteed to the
minority by the Constitution and rules of
the House should be maintained at all
hazards. Many a man, of softer stuff,
might have allowed the domineering aud
self-conceited Speaker of the House of Re
presentatives to play the pretty Xero, by
riding "rough shod" over his own and his
party's rights, but any one who knows
Wolfe, of Union, knows that his love of
right and justice and his matchless courage
would not permit him tamely to submit
to such an oultagc.
Let the Democratic Press aud Democra
tic Legislation and Conventions through
out the land for once withhold their dolef ul
notes of sympathy from the poor, down
trodden whites of Louisiana. Let them
cease their prating about the usurpation,
tyranuy and Ciesaristn of Grant and Sheri
dau. I jet them for a single moment forget
the fearful wrong newly perjwtrated by an
arrogant majority in the Halls of Congress.
Ix;t centralization and Stale rights rest
from their increasing conflict. Throw
wide open the coiumns of your papers, let
your rostrums reaound with eloquent con
gratulations that Pennsylvania's House of
Representatives, instead of having its
sacred precincts barbarously invaded and
its pride humiliated by a squad of soliiers
in blue coats and brass buttons, should be
permitted to bow her humble neck to the
foot of the Royal Monarch from Allegheny,
and have all its function clogged by the
irresistible aud jack ass will of the wise and
noble pedagogue of Ewalt college.
There was a lively time iu the Phila
delphia city Convention to nominate Police
Magistrates, on Wednesday of last week.
They stirred up great Democratic enthusi
asm, such as has never been equalled by
the Fourth Ward crowd. It was a rowdy
body from the beginning, and knocking
down and dragging out wa9 the order of
the day. One unfortunate Democrat who
was waltzing around in a delirium of De
mocratic enthusiasm was hurled out of a
second story window. Sam. Josephs, Bill
McMullin, and their crowd, were the
masters of the situation. But then Demo
crat are a "Reform" party, and of course
it is all right.
Senator Conkling SrEECii. Senator
Conkling's speech on the Liouisiana ques
tion begun in the Senate on Tuesday last,
was one of his best ever delivered. Dis
regarding all questious involving the higher
law, that of self-preservation and liberty
he met the Democratic champions on
their ground and put them to fliyht. On
Friday the Senate resumed the considera
tion of the resolution of Mr. Schurz, in
structing the Judiciary Committee to in
quire what legislation by Congress iu ne
cessary to secure to the people of Louisiana
the right of self-government under the Con
stitution. Mr. Conkliug resumed the floor and said,
in the observations which he had the honor
to submit to the Senate yesterday, it was
his object to set forth events which were
enacted in Xew Orleans touching the or
ganization of the Senate that the President
was a stranger to the whole proceedings
then, and not aware of them until they
were over ; secondly, he reminded the Sen
ate that (Jen. Sheridan was not in com
mand, nor even a spectator of events on
the morning of the 4ih iust. ; thirdly, he re
cited the laws of Louisiana, constitutional
and statutory, which deposited certain
powers exclusively with certain persons.
He recited the flagrant acts of violence and
lawlessness, and srathcred facts showing
that the attempt of the Conservatives in
Louisiana to capture one house of the Leg
islature was a step to revolutionize the
Stale government, and take it from those
who held it. In the presence of all the tur
bulence, disorder, and din which ruled the
hour in that room, in a distant city. Sena
tors said that everything there was peace
ful ; that the Governor and all others should
have remained silent spectators. The
Republican party, the Rresident of the
United States, and much of the residue of
mankind, hud been threatened with de
struction because those whom Governor
Kellogg summoned, and who responded,
were soldiers, soldiers of the United States
hircliugs they were called by the honora
ble Senator from Maryland Hamilton. J
He said they were hirelings and withered
them by saying they received only eight
dollars a month. Hirelings! But for such
hirelings there might not now be a Senate
chamber to reverberate with the eloquence
of the honorable Senator from Maryland;
but for these hirelings we might uot now
be permitted to breathe the free air of the !
Republic. But f -,e these hirelings it is cer
tain we would not be permitted to breathe
the air of a free republic. This remnant
of our arm must remaiu somewhere, but
if found south of Mason and Dixon's line
somebody's nobility was offended. The
6ldiers of the nation found in that section
were buried under the anathemas of the
Democratic party, branded with the
epithets of carpet-bagger, scalawag, while
nigger, and the like. Their lot was a hard
one. One political party never called
soldiers hirelings until they were summon
ed to tramp down a rebellion which lifted
its bloody hands to stab the Republic to
the heart. It was not always so. The
Democratic party was once the soldiers'
party and the war party. It applauded
the soldiers in former wars ; and sighed for
new wars for Cuba and for conquest, but
this was in what was once free America.
He borrowed the words from the honora-!
able Senator from Ohio Thurman. This I
was oucc when slavery needed room to ex
pand. Iu 1314, wheu Andrew Jackson set
a military guard over both houses of the
Louisiana Legislature, and imprisoned a
judge, the Democratic party glorified and
made him President of the United States.
When a Democratic Executive aud Demo
cratic Secretary of War dispersed and hu
miliated both houses of a Slate Legislature,
Congress and the couutry rang with Demo
cratic plaudits. That was one page in ouc
of the most revolving chapters in the his
tory ef human tyranny and wrong. Those
who occupied scats around him remember
ed the occurrence when violence, intrusion,
and outrage carryiog the banner of human
slavery stalked with high head in Kansas,
trampling laws aud right under foot. Did
the Democratic party apologize for it ?
Did the predecessors of these Senators apolo
gize for it? Xo! they only sought to
laugh it out of court. They only sought to
cover it up with ridicule. "Bleeding Kan
sas !" He renumbered how that cant flew
at the niast-heau of Democratic papers.
There was no apology. Oh, no. Border
ruffianism in Kansas was denied in this
chamber just as Southern outiagcsare now.
The honorable Senator from Ohio Thur
man, astute as he is, would not make an
apology for these outrages. Mr. Conkliug
here read from the report of the committee
which investigated the Kausas troubles,
and said when Gen. Sumner, commanding
meu whose bayonets flashed in the suu, en
tered the legislative hall of that State, he
declared the duty was the most painful of
his life, and by force he compelled the re
tirement of the Legislature. Again, at a
municipal election iu Washington, in 1850,
under a Democratic Administration, United
States marines fired upon the crowd, killing
five men and wounding seventeen, yet there
was uot even an investigation by the De
mocrats in Congress. Again, iu 1809, Gen
eral George B. McClellan, through Genaral
Bauks, arrested as many members of the
Maryland legislature as he could, Mary
land not being in secession at the time, yet
the Democratic rarty, at the first opportun
ity afterwards, strove to make McCellan
President, on a peace platform a platform
devised by a convention which brought out
the whole constitutional army, which pelted
Lincoln with all their arrows, and heaped
upon him all the denunciation of their
brilliant vocabulary. The Democratic
party always was the keeper of the Con
stitution, and during tho war it waB in
charge of the Democracy Xorth and South.
The Xorthern wing and Southern wing
vied with each other in their zeal to guard
and protect that sacred instrument. He
next referred to the arrest of Burns in 1851,
in Boston, and said he was arrested for the
crime of being a black man. The army
and the navy, under a Democratic
President, gathered about the spot,
and Federal bayouets were thick. John
Brown was tried by a court in a sovereign
State, and the gibbet on which he died
quaked with the tramp of Federal regi
ments and the rumble of Federal artillery.
Yes,soldiers arc hirelings; Senators are hire
lings ; a great body of the American people
are hircliugs ; but no man forfeits his citi
zenship or his rights in this country by be
ingahirling. Soldiers are citizens. Their
uniform does uot deprive them of this attri
bute nor does it relieve them of the duties
of citizens.
Mr. Conkliug argued that soldiers could
be called upou as a o.,ie comiUUus in quel
ling disturbance the same as citizens, and
iu support of his argument sent to the
Clerk's desk and had read from the Law of
riots compiled by Wise, a British baronet.
Resuming, he said a loud outcry might
scare forty million people, and make them
fear that their liberties were in danger,
that they were in peril of being trampled
down by an army of 25,000 men, scattered
by corporals' guards all over the continent
It may be that the three men in blue pan
taloons, who, in New Orleans the other
day, accosted wrong-doers and tresspassers
and made them change their seats from
one place to another in the same room
should have been three other men dressed
in other pantaloons. Mr. Stoughtou, a
patriot and a jurist, says it would have
becu more regular had Governor Kellogg
first called upon the soldiers of Louisiana,
and had they been inadequate to the task
of quelling the disturbance, then upon the
soldiers of the United States. It may be
so. If tho disturbance existed. Kellogg
might easily have been misled by the fact
that the Democrats or Conservatives first
declared that the military power of the
United States might be evoked, appointed
a committee to watt on the military, re
ceived that military approbation, aud re
turned to it the thanks of the State of Lou
isiana. Wiltz and his Conservatives it
seemed still wanted the interference of the
military, as Mr. Wiltz had addressed the
President of the United States some very
respectful interrogatories, and urgently
requested and demanded that the troops
of the United States should be ordered to
restore the House to the position it occupied
before the interference. This Conservative
Speaker, this incarnation of the law-abiding
spirit of the Democratic party, now, after
the great lights of the party had spoken
here ; after the long radiance of their veiws
had reached all tho way to the Gulf, ad
dressed the President of the United
States, asking him to march soldiers of the
United States into the halls of the Legis
lature of Louisiana and reseat him in the
chair. Mr. Conkling read from the me
morial of Wiltz, and resuming his argu
ment, 6aid he Conkling was only looking
to sec if it was realty true, as charged here,
that never since the separation of the Colo
nies from Great Britain had there been
such danger to the country. Was it true
that the pillars of the temple of the Re
public were about to crumble, that civil
liberty was about to fade, and that the Re
public was about to fold its tents like the
Arabs, and as silently steal away ? He
was done with one scene just enacted in
the sad history of Louisiana, and now
turned to another. What was the excuse
for the disturbance there ? What is the
apology for the commotion in her borders ?
The plea was heard from the Senator from
Ohio. It was that Kellogg was not in
truth elected, bnt was falsely counted in.
Suppose he was. Did that justify the
nameless horrors which have stained the
annals of the Slate '( Other States have
known deeper wrongs than those of Louisi
ana. Xew York had known a deeper
wrong. It was an open secret now tiiat
in 1308 John T. Hoffman was couuted into
the office of Governor, when the people had
elected John A. Griswold. The count was
falsified more than thirty thousand iu two
counties. John T. Hoffman was falsely
couuted in. Who did it? The managers
of the Democratic parly ; aud they seated
in lhe Legislature year after year men
whom the people had voted down at the
ballot-box. The same regimen made the
courts and made them corrupt. They
issued fraudulent naturalization papers by
the tens of thousauds. They appointed
returning boards and made them corrupt ;
they appointed inspectors of election who
polluted and debauched the ballot-box.
They so divided the chief city of the State
as to bibect blocks and houses so that men
domiciled in the election districts. They
held tv State of live millions of people by
the throat four years. By such astounding
meaus a political party dominated that
great State, usurped the power, and plun
dered her treasury by the most collossal
robberies of modern times. What did the
Republicans do ? They did not reBort to
ruthless violence. They did not resort to
the blade, the bullet, and the torch. They
did not butcher men, women, and children;
they did not seize the cheif city of the State,
barricade its streetsshoot down its police.
Xo ; they iwrsevered iu peaceful efforts.
They asked Congress to break the hold of
organized fraud on the ballot box, that the
citizens of Xew York might vote. How
was the prayer received in this chamber by
the Democrats ? The people of Xew York
were blasted with all the constitutional
anathemas of the Democracy. Those who
remained iu this chamber mute while they
were pelted with storms of denunciation
have not forgotten the history nor the cost
of this legislation ; but the law was passed,
and for the first time for years there was
au election in Xew York approaching fair
ness. A leading Democratic paper called
upon the populace to arm and pitch the
officers of election into the river ; but rio
ters have a wholesome dread of the claw
and beak of Federal power. They did not
arm themselves. How different was the
course of the men in Louisiana, who com
plained of fraud and dishonest clectious ?
Thirty-five hundred murders and wound
ing9 in eight years, says Sheridan, for
political "purposes ! Search the nnnals of
history, search the tearful story of man's
inhumanity to man, and where, in modern
times can you fiud the picture of such God
daring and man hating monstrosity ?
Murder near Towanda. Under
this heading the Elmira Gazette publishes
the following :
On the eveuing of January 21st, Edgar
Sickler, an old mau aged sixty, who lives
about three miles east of Towanda, on
Sickler Hill, was killed iu his own house by
two brothers named Powers. One of the
Powers lived in Sicklur's house, aud the
other near by. All of the parties were in
Towanda yesterday afternoou, anil re
turned to Sickler's house early in the even
ing under the influence of liquor. An al
tercation began about two pounds of sugar
and ended up in the Power's brothers
assaulting and killing Sickler. The mur
dered man's face was found stabbed in sev
eral places, one stab peuetrating an eye
aud jamming backwards into the brain;
the head was also cut open with a hatchet
left arm broken, together with other minor
injuries.
After killing him, they tied a rope around
his leg, drew him to a wood pile, and
threw him upon it. Both tiie assassins'
wives were present to the affray, and will
he witnesses against their husbands, who
fortunately are lodged inTowauda jail.
The circumslauceB attending their arrest
are somewhat conflicting, but from the
best information that cau be obtained, it
seems that one of the brothers himself
informed a neighbor of the murder, and he
had them both arrested. They seemed to
be so ciazcd with liquor that they had bnt
little idea of the enormity of their crime
The testimony taken bv the Congression
al Committee, investigating affairs in Ala
pama, so far as published, show that intim
idation had been practiced at the late
election to an extent not dreamed of by the
people of the north. Republicans were
killed, their meeting disturbed and broken
up, houses burned, and other outrages
perpetrated. The presence of troops alone
prevented bloodshed. One witness was
positive that the State would have given
10,000 or 15,000 Rcbublican majority if the
negroes bad been allowed to vote without
intimidation.
Pennsylvania Legiftlatiire.
We publish below, Uis procecdiu-;s, as record
ed on the Journal of ihe.Honse, of the exciting
ocene which occurred during the session of the
Legislature, on Monday evening lust :
THE I.AKCASTEK PETITION FOR UNSEATING MR.
KOSENMILLER.
Mr. Tally moved thnt the House take op the
consideration of the petition in regard to the
eligibility of the member from Lancaster, Mr.
Rosenmiller.
Messrs. Leigh and Agnew raised the following
point of order :
The paper referred to liaviug been approved
before the organization of this House, and the
law ou the subject of contested elections requir
ing that petitions of contest be presented to the
House "within ten days after Us organization,"
and the paper referred to by the member from
Delaware not having been presented within ten
days after the organization of the House, it is
not now in order.
The Speaker having decided the foregoing
point of order not well taken, we respectfully
appeal.
(Signed) John W. Leigh,
J. B. Agxew.
Mr. Patterson (Mr. Lusk in the rhair) said:
The decision of the point of order by the Speaker
was made under the motion of the gentleman
from Allegheny (Mr. Irwin), made on the first
day of this seesion, that this matter was luid on
the table until the members should be sworn in.
Mr. Irwin explained as his reasons for making
the motion at that time was that it might be
taken up again.
Mr. Wolfe had some doubt at Hist tie to wheth
er thin poiut was taken, but had come to the
conclusion on consideration that it was,boih peti
tion and motion were out of order, as the House
could do nothing then, not being legally or jauiz
ed. Mr. Huhu made an able speech at length ia
snpport of the appeal and point jf order.
Mr. Tallcy thought the gentlemen were dis
cussing a subject that they had no right. When
the subject was up before they had said that it
should be taken np again, and now they would
rule out the petition on the grounds that the
people of Lancaster are a contestant. AVe call
it up now and ask that it be referred totbeCom
mittee on Election?.
Mr. Gunstcr thought the gentlemen on the
other side were dodging the question, that the
question was not whether Mr. Kosenmiller had a
light to a seat, but simply to refer the whole
matter, which had become part of the House
record, to a committee, and while they raised a
cry agaiust making the matter n partisan one,
their whole argument was based upou partisan
grounds.
Mr. Leigh read from the remarks of Mr. Piper
when this matter was up before, and drew the
conclusion that he (Piper) was "piping a differ
ent tune to night," and proceeded to speak at
some lcnghlh iu support of his appeal.
Mr. Morgau called the attention of the House
to the fact that the petition referred to had never
been laid upon the table, aud the motiou now to
take it up would be a stultification of the House.
Mr. Wolfe rose a second time to refute the
arguments of the gentleman from Luzerne Mr.
Gunster. He agreed with him that the terms
of members began when elected, bnt until they
were sworn in they could uot enter upon the dis
charge of their duties. He also held that a peti
tion could not be taken np except as au original
petition as if it hud never at all been presented
to this body.
Mr. Irwin (Allegheny) held that the petition
now bad a positiou on the record of this House
and had a right to be called up at any time no
matter how It got there.
Mr. Campbell supported the appeal, and gave
some wholesome advice to the Democratic side
of the House in regard to buncombe speeches.
Mr. Fiuchcr thought if this point of order was
decided in favor of the party moving, a whole
mouth's labor was thrown away, as no act of the
House since its organization would be legal, and
thought this was the whole drift of the other
side.
Mr. Leigh proposed to withdraw his appeal if
Mr. Talley would withdraw his petition.
Mr. Tally thanked the gentleman for his kind
ness, but stated that he considered his action
correct, and under no circumstances would he
withdraw bin petition.
Mr. Patterson (Speaker) decided that the
members of the Legislature were such from the
time of their election, and that the petition could
tie takeu up.
Upon the appeal the yeas and nays were called
and were as follows :

Mr. Wolfe said that before the above vote was
announced he desired to raise a poiut of order
that it would require a two-thirds vote to carry
the motion of Mr. Talley.
A scene of some confusion ensued, several Re
publican gentleman rising and affirming that
they had not heard their names read by the clerk
as voting in the negative.
The Speaker announced the vote ou the ap
peal. Mr. Wolfe raised the point of order that it re
quired a two-thirds vote to take up this petition,
us it was an original petition and would require
a suspension of the rules.
The Speaker ruled the point out of order.
Several motions were made on the Democratic
side of the House to adjourn.
Mr. Wolfe insisted on holding the floor, stat
ing that while a motion to adjonrn was regular,
it was not in order to make while a member was
occupying the floor. He bad submitted a poiut
of older in writing, and if the Speaker decided
to appeal from that decision.
The Speaker stated that there was nothing be
fore the House.
Mr. Wolfe held the floor, and insisted that his
jMiint of order was before the House.
The Speaker declared the gentleman was net
lu order and directed bim to take his scat.
Mr. Wolfe denied that he was out of order,
and therefore had a right to occupy the floor.
The Speaker (rapping his govel) insisted upon
Mr. Wolfe taking his seat.
Several Democratic members called for the
Sergi ant-nt-Arms, and the Speaker directed that
olneer to take Mr. Wolfe Into custoiy.
As the Si-rgeant-at-Arms proceeded to carry
out the order, the Republican members almost
ew rallied around Mr. Wolfe, while many
Democratic members rushed forward apparently
to support the Sergeant-nt-Arras.
A scene of the utmost disorder aud confusion
ensued. Every member was on his feet, while
the aisles and circular pace In the vicinity of
Mr. Wolfe's seat was filled with an excited
crowd, whose loud vociferations rendered the
rapplug of the Speaker's gavel perfcctlylnandi
b!e. During the scuffle Mr. Wolfe was forced
bodily from his seat, but received no personal
injury. Finally, amid the noise and confusion,
the Speaker deelured the Hoase adjourned and
hastily rushed from the hail.

Death of a Self Confessed Mrn
DEREit Geore Peters, of Annville, Leb
anon county, who confessed several montbs
ago to having killed his wife many years
ago. died on Wednesday. Peters was to
have been tried at the late criminal court
of Lebanon county. hutJudiic Henderson
decided that he could not be convicted be
cause of the statute of limitation. The
Lebonan Keu:s says ; 'At the time when
he was to have been tried the prisoner was
in a foeble condition, and had changed
wonderfully from his former powerful and
vigorous condition. His prison life subse
quent io the acqnittal on technical grounds
was one of peace and quietude. He seemed
to be satisfied that he had made peace
with God as well as mankind in delivering
himself over to the authorities, and there
fore patiently awaited the result death,
which he was coddeut was not far distant.
Tuesday he sudenly became weaker, and it
was visible to his attendants that his end
was near at hand. Wednesday morning
shortly before nine o'clock a prisoner in
attendance asked him wether he had auy
pain, and he answered in German "yes"
At this time he was rapidly finking' and
at nine o'clock peacefully passed away.
Since his first confinement he has been suf
fering from great debility, dropsy and
shortness of breath, depending upon heart
desease of long standing. His mind was
perfectly clear up to the hour of his death.
"The most remarkable coincidence at
tached to this case is that lie died on the
same day and about the same hour, upon
which the act was committed, 19 years ago
on January 27, 1856."

Telegraphic dispatches proclaim the un
welcome news that a lockout had com
menced in the coal mines of South Wales,
and that 120,000 miners are idle. Addi
tional information is conveyed to us that
"the shipwrights of Xewcast!e-on-Tyne,
England, to the number of 6,000, have
struck." We are not informed as to tho
causes which led to the lockout of the
miners, or the strike of the shipwrights,
but, no matter what was the cause, the ef
fect can be regarded only in the light of a
calamity. Idlcntss, cither in an indivi
dual or commnoity.is an evil, and the more
powerful and robust the individual or the
larger the community, the greater the evil.
Add to this the great pecuniary loss re
sulting to employer and employee, and the
poverty and suffering often entailed upon
the latter, and the evil effects of strikes and
lockouts may be imagined, but not de
scribed. And the worst feature of all this
is the fact that the strikers and capitalists
are not the only ones to suffer, but the
thousands of innocent wives and helpless
children of the hot-headed laborers suffer,
aftcn more keenly thau those whose hasty
and ill-advised action is the cause of all the
trouble.

New Orleass, Jan. 31.
For some days past the Republican
members of the Congressional Investigating
Committee now in New Orleans, have been
making earnest efforts to arrange a compro
mise between the contending political
parties in this State,
Yesterday eveuing a long consultation
was held with representative Democrats
upon the subject, and to-day United States
Marshal Packard and Gov. Kellogg were
spoken with. The basis of the proposed
compromise is that the House of Represen
tatives shall be reorganized, and the five
Democrats who were evicted on the 4th
inst. recognized as members and awarded
seats.
This concession has been promised by
the Republicans. The Democrats, on their
side, will be required to recognize Governor
Kellogg, sustain the present State Govern
ment, and pledge themselves to work in
harmony with the Republican Semite. It
is agreed that Wiltz shall not be again
elected Speaker. If the terms of the com
promise can be determined upon, a more
conservative man will be chosen.
Gov. Kellogg has frequently requested
the committee to go into an examination
of the election of 1S72, and to decide wheth
er he or M'Enery was elected. Mr. Hoar
and his associates have thus far refused to
consider this question, but express great
anxiety to make some final satisfactory dis
position of the controversy in regard to the
election of 1874.
Messrs. Hoar aud Fryc have been par
ticularly active in this matter, aud are just
now urging the contending parties to agree
upon some terms of settlement. The great
difficulty in the way of such an adjustment
is that Messrs. M'Enery and Penn will not
be parties to it.
Should the Conservatives pledge tucsk
selves to recognize Kellogg, it will of cou.se i
be necessary for the gentlemen sained taj
give up their claims to the positions of
Governor and Lieutenant Governor. T ev
positively refuse to do this, and uv 8Up

however, are exceedingly w xioU5 to enter

with one of the leading members of the so-
called Wiltz, or Democratic House, this

within the next day or two.
Additional Louisiana Evidence.
New Orleans, Feb. 1- The Congress
ional committee resumed the investigation
to day. Mr. Hoar fixed the number of
witnesses to be examined upon each side in
regard to intimidation a', thirty-one Repub
licans and thirty-five Democrats. Allen
Green testified to the existence of an old
feud between himself and the Allen boys,
which culmiuated in a shooting affray on
election day. 1872. Two negroes were
killed near his place in 1868. P. A. Vessey
of Iberia, testified that the negroes during
the recent election campaign were kept in
fear and did not register as fully as the
whites. Mr. DeLabrousie, Jr., said be
was assistant supervisor in St. Martin's
parish; was a Democrat, and excluded one
hundred Republican votes, in spite of which
the Republicans carried the election ; the
White League forced bim to resign his
office when he joined the Republicans ; its
executive committee took a vote at a meet
ing a monfh ago to see whether Republican
officeholders should be hanged or driven
out of the parish, one hundred and ninety
voting for hanging, three against; two hun
dred uegroes were discharged for voting
the Republican ticket, and five hundred
votes were lost through intimidation ; six
or seven murders have been committed in
the parish since 1873. Lieutenant Cook
testified that he was in St. Martinsville on:
Oct. 2 ; was ordered by Kellogi; to go to
Breaux;did so, and was confronted by
General Fournet, who denied that anything:
was wrong in the parish : a colored mam
then complained that he had been threat
ened by one Duvaf, who appeared witb a
whip and sought to chastUe his accuser ;
on the following Sunday there was a
White League cavalcade, which went to a
church, and threatened to cut off the ears
of the negro preacher; they compelled
colored people to leave the parish, and
witness advised some of those with. fami
lies not to risk voting ; could not call the
country peaceful; would prefer living
among the Corr aches to residing among
that ignorant, priest-ridden people ; their
was no good feeling towards either the
colored people or the United States ; they
were very bitter against the army officers,
who. they thought, were interested in the
Kel'ogg government.
