SUNBURY, FEBRUARY 12, 1S75.
The Civil Rights bill publish'-d iu an
other column, passed the House of Repre
sentative on last Friday by a vote of 1G2
yens to 100 nays. The bill iliflcrs from the
Senate bill, and must now go to that body
for concurrence. Whether the Senate bill
or the House bill shall ultimately bee nie a
law we do not know. But, the agreement
of both houMjs on eomt bill before the next
campaign comes upon us is so essential
that we trust a prompt decision will bo
reached, and the subject taken out of the
list of unsettled questions.
It is probable that ere long, sewing ma
chines will be cheap enough for even the
poorest families to possess one. The re
fusal of the House committee to extend the
patent on sewing machines is a move in
in the right direction, and in the interest
cf the laboring people of the country. It
will have the effect to reduce the price of
cwing machiues from their present exor
bitant rate as low as 20. It is in evidence
that the cost of the average sewing machine
is but 112. and that small manufacturers
ore required to pay the sewing machine
combination as much as $40 profit on each
machine manufactured.
Oue hundred and sixty-two voles were
given for the Civil Rights bill, as amended
and passed by the House of Representa
tives, all of which were, of course, from
Republicans. There were one hundred
votes in the negative, and of these, four
teen were cast by the following Republicans
Messrs. R. R. Butler, of Teunessee ; Chit
tenden, of New Yori ; CratchSeld, of Ten
nessee ; Guoter, of Arkansas ; Harrison
of Tennessee ; Ijofbind of Delaware ; Lown
des, of Maryland ; Pbelph, of New Jersey,
Scner, of Yirgiuia: Sloane, of Georgia ; J.
Ampler Smith, of Virginia ; Stanard. of
Missouri ;C. V. Thomas, of Virginia ; and
Thornburg. of Tenuessee. It will be no
ticed that all but two cf these, Messrs.
Chittenden and Phelps, are from Southern
States. This is an important fact as bear
ing on the political effect of the bill.
In the State Senate on Tuesday last, Mr.
Wood, from the special committee to draft
a bill to regulate the practice of medicine
aurgery and obstetrics in the State, repor
ted a bill from which the following is taken :
"Any person who hhallaltempUhe piac
tice of medicine or surgery by opening
transient office, or who shall by handbill
or other form of written or printed adver
tieemsnts assign such trans'teci oflce or
other plan to persous seeking medical or
surgical advice or prescription, shall, before
Icing allowed to practise as aforsaid. ap
pear before the clerk of the court of quarter
f f f sions of the count y wherein aaid prac
titioner shall attempt to practice, aud shall
furnish satisfactory evidence to said clerk
that the provisions of this act liave been
complied with and shall, in addition, take
out a license for oue year, and pay into
the County Treasury for the use of said
county, the sum of $2.00 therefor, where
upon it shall be the duty of said clerk to
isaue to such applicant a proper certificate
ol lycense, on payment of the fee of two
dollars ; provided' however, that the simple
announcement of name and title by card or
other advertisement, shall be sanctioned
as legitimate and is so approved by this
act.
Any person violating the provisions of
this act snail be deemed guilty ol a misde
meanor, and on co.ivictioa shall be senten
ced to pay a fine not exceeding $500, for
the use of the ceunty wherein such misde
meanor is committed, or imprisonment not
exceeding one year, or both, at the discre
tion of the court. Any person so convic
ted shall not be entitled to any fee for ser
vices reudered, and if a fee has already
been paid the patient or his heirs may re
cover the same as debts of like amount.
Amendments to the State Consti
ixtiov. The report submitted to the
Senate by the commissioners appointed to
suggest amendments to the Constitution is
a very formidable document as regards
length
The most important changes recommend
ed are those bearing upon the judicial sys
tem. The abolition of cumulative voting
in the election ol Supreme Court judges is
urged, by striking out entire Section 16
of Article V. The commission declare
their purpose to be a return to a direct
election by the people of ull Supreme Court
fudges, and characterize the present system
as "an anomalous, irregular, aud anti-democratic
expedient, to reach a purpose
foreign to the true principles of right gov
ernment."' The commissioners a60 propose to re
district the Sute for judicial purposes on
the basis of population? solely, ns as pre
fent. They argue that there is n necessity
for requiring every county having a popula
tion of 40.0ti0 to be made a separate dis
trict. Tbcy present an elaborate table of
the business of theourts by counties and
districts during 172 aud 1873, aud state
that au inspection of the table wiil show
tbut the office of president judge in some of
the agricultural districts is almost a sine
cure, while in some of the mining, tnauu
uicturin", and other business counties the
courts ire constantly employed." It is
proposed to autboriie the Legislature, at
its discretion, to make single counties sep
arate judicial districts, when demanded
by the amount of busiutps, and when the
jiopalaiion is ever 50,000.
The table showing the business trans
acted by the courts ia 1872 and 1873 pre
sents sr'ne curious results. Thus, among
the present single coun'.y districts, the
court is kept busy in Hula ware county only
!iv weeks in the year, and in Beaver, In
diana, and Mercer only six weeks ; while
iu Berks and Lancaster 24 weeks are re
quired to transact the business ; in Schuyl
kill over 19 weeks are required for the civil
court, and 22 weeks of the criminal court ;
And in several other counties, about 20
wet'ks. In some of the districts made up
of more than one county the business is,
even now, very light, while in some of
these districts the average sessions of the
courts last 15 weeks and upwards.
The report goes to the Committee on
Constitutional Reform, for its action.

Xo reporters wereadinited to the Con

proposition was received by the caucus for
a compromise, signed by forty-two mem
bers of the Halm IIou6e offering to seat all
those returned by the board. It is under
stood that tbe Republicans wiil not submit
to anything thai will disturb the present

The Connervative caucus is now consid
ering a resolution for adjustment, which
is to be submitted to the Congressional
Committee. The text is not obtainable at

seating of all the members elected, leaving
the I'eturning Board out of the question.
Hon. S. S. Marsha!!, in a published card
says : "I notice that the city press, in dis

in the organization of the legislature of
Louisiana, assume that these propositions
were made Ly authority of the Congres
sional Committee now in session in this
city. This is a mistake. No session of
said committee has been called or held for
the consideration of that subject, and for
the action of individual members of that
committee thereon they are responsible as
individuals only.
The Congressional Committee of Inves
tigation closed their labors late to-night
and will leave for Washington to-morrow
morning. Their report will be presented
to Congress on Tuesday next. They will
consult with Mr. Foster and others of the
sub-committee recently here, and the tes
timony they have elicited will be consid
ered by the lull committee. There is nood
reason to believe, however, that tlte report
of Mr. Hoar aud his associates will be ma
terially differeut from that presented by
the suit-committee. It can be stated pos
itively that the. three Republicans on the
committee will report that negro voters
were intimidated durnig the late election.
On this point Mr. Marshall will probably
preseut a minority report. There is no

r.LOOD.
Some years ago it was given out by med
ical authorities that consumption, in cer
tain stages, could be cured by drinking
warm blood from the ox. Thi treatment
was urged for not only consumptives, but
for all cases of weakness and general debil
ity. Over two hundred people visit the
slaughter-houses in this city daily for this
purpose. They hold their glasses so as to
catch thc stream as it flows hot from the
dying animal, and drink it sleaming as il
is. I ventured to taste it. and did not find
it so bad as I had supposed. It tastes
something like uew milk, with a slightly
saltish flavor. The habitual driukers claim
to be much benefited by it, and many of
them have learned to like it. They only
take the blood from healthy, good-conditioned
steers that have been long enough
off the cars to be perfectly cool.
RAILROADS.
A meeting of the priucipal railroad prebi
dents of the Uuited States is now in pro

considering the expediency of continuing
the commissioners and the policy adopted
at Saratoga in July last. The meeting was
exceedingly harmonious, and finally result
ed in a resolution suspending the power of
of the Western commissioners temporarily
as far as the freight business is concerned,
leaving the rates and general management
of the East-bound traffic in thc hands of
the Western general freight agents. Thi
wil'give these gentlemen an opportunity to j
try their hands again, and if they improve
it, ind restore harmony and get rates back

sous. The railroad men are alarmed at
tie condition of the business. The carry
iig trade has dropped a full half in quanti
ty aud reveuue. and the passenger trade is
tren worse. One prominent president,
vh o is a very level headed man, made the
wserlion yesteruay mat unless some cnange
took place very soon every railroad west of
Buffalo would be bankrupt before midsum
mer. AVhether there is good foundation
for this prophecy or not, one thing is cer
tain, tbe railroads are in a bad way, and
tie managers are very despoudent.
LIFE IN THE GREAT CITY.
Despite the hard times New York is very
ga-geous this witter. The turn-out on the
Avenue and in the Park are as brilliant as
evr, aud even more so. Sales of extrava
gmtly costly furniture are as frequent as
evr, and the great jewelers aud expensive
diss iieople are doins; more than their
utial business. The fact is the society wo
iriu in New York refuse to recognize tbe
e:istence of hard times. She considers it
tie duty of the mau who takes the contract
o supporting her to furnish her with what
sle wants just as freely one year as another.
lithe poor fellow pleads embarrassment
aid bad business, she answers, "What is
tlat to me ? I know nothing about your
htrrid stocks. I do know that I want that
diamond necklace, and will have it." And
she generally gets it, for several reasous.
A man rlways stands in awe of a very
handsome and very fashionable woman,
and besides a great many New Yorkeis
have discovered that it is a very good thing
when the nevitable smash comes io have
$50,000 t $100,000 in diamonds and such
things wiich belong to his wife, to fall back
upon. This is the secret of very much of
the extravagance that is seen in the public
places u the city. The poor feel the hard
limes, tnd those supposed to be rich may
also, but the latter don't show it if they do.
The tluatre8 are li led nightly, the parties
aud bills were never more brilliant or ex
psnsie. Of course smashes without num
ber vill occur, but they are haviuu a good
time while they can. This is the very cen
tre f Vauiiy Fair.
DRY GOODS BUSINESS.
Hie late seasons have nearly been the
ru'u of the spring trade for tbe last two
yeirs, running it close upon the summer.
Tiere has been the usual slight advance of
prces, common at the very openiug of the
seison, and the few early buyers who are
afer the warm, merely look round and

TUE CHARITY BALL
this season was distinguished by the most
superb dressing aud greatest display of
jewels at auy of these popular balls, since
they were instituted. Good society had a
dr.d that the aitendauee of "the charity'
wis too promiscious for fashiouable us
ctplibililies, and au effort was made to
rescue it from the hands of those who
wished, by their presence ou this occasion,
to puih themselves into society. Accord-

SMUGGLED fILK9.
W.k ther every won-.au is a rake at heart
or net, every woman is a free trader, and
none of the sex appear profoundly effected
by lt&rning that the low price of silks which
has delighted them for months is owing to
extensive and systematic smuggling, it is
said with the connivance of the custom
officers. The latter, it is pleaded, have
pretended to wink at the business, iu hopes
the easier to fiud a clew to the guilty par
ties. Other accounts charge this light
dealing to force the governmant to restore
the moiety system. Anyhow, silks are
cheap, and both women and merchants
are of the opinion that the 60 per cent, du
ty on silks may as well go into their own
pockets as be distributed in a possible Ta
