WKIlXESDAY,
January Is 73.
Stokes, the dayer. of Col. Jim
Fisk, has been convicted of murder
in tha first degree.
Governor Dix, of New York, and
Governor Calpwell, of North Caro
lina, were inaugurated on the 1st i list,
and Governor lYrhani, of Maine, on
the 2nd.
Gen. Hartraxft will be inaugu
ted es Governor on Tuesday the 21st
inst and the indications arc that the
display, civic and military, will ex
ceed anything that has been witness
ed at Harrisburg for many years.
For the first time since the elec
tion of Gen. Grant, the monthly ex
hibit of the public debt shows an in
crcase.during the last month, of near
ly one and three-quarter millions.
The falling off in the receipts from
Internal Revenue is said to be the
principal cause.
EX-GOVERNOR HlGLEK, who SO
magnanimously declined a scat in the
Constitutional Convention, in order
that Ex-Govcrnor Cibtin might
take his place, is to be provided for
by the resignation of Jons G. Hall,
of Elk county in the ) Governor's dis-
trict), who intends resigning, with
the understanding that Mr. Kigler
will take his seat.
A profitless discussion has arisen
among some ministers of the Metho
dist church in New York ; one por
tion holding that there is a literal
hell of fire and brimstone for the pnn
isement of sinners, while the other
side iusist that total annihilation will
l)c the fate of the ungodly. Judging
from the amount of crime prevalent
in that city, the controversy has
born evil fruit, in satisfying a majori
ty of the population that there is no
hell.
A Washington dispatch says, "The
Tostmaster General has decided that
families, firms and companies cannot
combine to rent postofiicc boxes con
jointly, but that one box rent must be
collected for each firm, family or
company." Couldn't the same high
authority decide that lamilies or firms
shall not use one envelope to cover
two notes or letters? There would
be about as much propriety in the lat
ter as in the first proposition.
The first election under the Local
Option act of last session cf the Leg
islaturc.took place in Clearfield county
on the 29th of December. At the
municipal and township elections held
there on that day a majority of up
wards of six hundred votes was cart
against liquor licenses. This result
in the county of Clearfield may be
taken as a fair indication of what will
be the decision when the question
shall come up next March in the sev
eral counties of the State. i
The Postmasters of the country
are in luck. It is announced that
Gen. Grant will not iicrmit any of
these officials to be removed because
of their political hostility to him, and
it is also said that the Civil Service
rules are to le applied as clcscly as
possible in regard to these appoint
ments. Anyone therefore, enjoying
the one great aspiration of X asby's
soul, can possess that soul in pa
tience, with the comforting assurance
that removal is impossible unless
the Democrats should come to pow
er, when there will be a speedy exhu
mation of the doctrines of "rotation
in office," and "to the victors belong
the spoils."
The other Pittsburgh journals iu
sist that C. D. Bbigham, editor of the
Commercial has sold a controlling
interest in that paper to lion's II. II.
Mackky and Russell Errett, and
that the latter gentleman is to become
its editor. As yet' the Commercial
has made no allusiou to the matter,
although Mr. Brigiiam has departed
for Florida, intending to make that
State his future residence. Major
Eeeett has had large experience as
a journalist, andlhc paper will doubt
less be much U'ni fitted by its thtsng
of editors, although it is not probable
that the new chief will Ik able to de
vote much time to its affairs, until af-i
ter the adjournment of State Senate,

the present session.
The Constitutional Convention re
assembled on yesterday the . 7th.
We presume that during the recess
the committees were at work, digest
ing and taking counsel upon the great
mass of proiositions submitted at
their former sessions, and it is to be
hoped that they are prepared to pre
sent business to the Convention for
its prompt action. The debated will
of course be almost interminable, and
wc hardly anticipate a satisfactory
conclusion of the labors of that au
gust body In-fore hot weather will lie
upon us, aud an adjournment until
next winter will then be deemed a
necessity. We will be agreeably sur
prised if the new instrument is ready
for submission to a popuWr vote at
the election in October next.
House at Harrisburg, on Saturday
last, Elliott of Philadelphia, and
Selfbidue of the same city, were
nominated for Sjeaker and Clerk, on
tho first ballot. They both occupied
the same positions last winter. A
committee of seven was appointed to!
fix up the nominees for minor offices,
of which there are thirty-six. Wc
have not received the result of the
Senatorial caucus, which was held
on Monday night, but there is no
doubt that ANPERSO! of Pittsburgh,
was nominated for Speaker, and Ett
rett of the same place for chief clerk,
as there was no opposition to cither.
It is thought that McAfee of West-mot-eland,
and Cochran of Lancaster,
will be elected to the two assistant
clerkships in the Senr'r
Col. Qr at, of the licavcr Kadi
em., has sold that journnl, to Hon.
James Kt tan, the Senator fom that
district This lends crcden- c to the
rumor-that Ji:ay is tolemitdc Sec
retary of the Commonwealth by Gov.
Hartrasft. .
There is no doubt that the Legis
lature just entered upon fts session,
will In sordv l-esct bv all those who
desire special privileges, as it is an
ticipated that the Constitutional Con
vention will so abridge the powers of
future Legislatures, that it will be
impossible to obtain enactments for
a
individual or comorate benefit. We
(
hope therefore, that there will be suf
ficient sense of respect for public opin
ion, exhibited by the majority to re
sist the blandishments that will e
brought to bear upon them, and that
this, probably the last Legislature
that will assemble under the existing
Constitution, will leave a record that
will measurably redeem the charac
ter of its predecessors for the last two
score years.' But we confess that,
while we hope, we have but little
faith. -
Senator Morton is now prepar
ing a speech, which ho proposes to
deliver during the winter session, on
our present sj-steni of electing a Pres
ident. - He is of the opinion that the
campaign has demonstrated that Tir
electoral system in thoroughly defec
tive, and that . contingencies may
arise, 6uch as the death of the Presi
dent elect or a close canvass wherein
the vote of a single State would be
decisive of the contest ; and wherein
frauds, informalities, or irregularities,
as in Louisiana or Arkansas, would
require that such vote lie set aside,
which might precipitate a revolution
extending all over the country. lo
will fight in favor of a direct rote by
the people, with the abolition of the
Electoral College, claiming that the
latter is a cumbersome piece of ma
chinery which has been long since
out-grown, and which was instituted
simply because of a want of conG.
dence in the people by the fraiuers of
the Constitution.
We learn through some of our ex
changes, that an attempt is lieingj
made to carry out the preposterous
proposition adopted bv the State
-
Temperance Convention, lately in
session at Pittsburgh, to petition the
Constitutional Convention to place a
' provision in the Constitution controll-
i injr the traffic in liquors. The prop
osition is simplv absurd. As the or
ganic law, the constitution deals only
with principles, not with specific sub
jects, ajid if the door was once thrown
open, the advocates of every reform
and dogma, would insist upon having
them engrafted upon that instrument
until it would become a mere bundle of
contradictory absurdities, and totally
inoperative. Specific reforms of this
nature, are the legitimate subjects
of statutory law, and if the especial
friends of temperance would address
themselves to the task of enforcing
the wholesome laws now in being,
they would effect much more good
than by resolutions and petitions
smacking largely of ljotb ignorance
and demagogueistn. A cutting com
mentary on the folly of the men who
are attempting to "boss" the temper
ance reform, is a glance at the vote of
the "Temperance candidates" in this
State at the last election In locali
ties where the sentiment is strongest,
the vote is ridiculously small. Let
us have done with "clap-trap" lx fore
a meritorious cause is killed bv it.

Pittsburg, Januarv 2. An acci
dent occurred on the West Pennsyl
vania railroad, between Blairsville
and Allegheny City, at Townscnd's
station, about thirty-seven miles east
of Allegheny City, yesterday morn
ing, caused by a coal train going west
colliding with the rear end of the ex
press train, which was standing at
the station taking water, resulting in
the death of Margaret Townscnd,
aged fourteen years, a daughter of
O. K. Townscnd, of Maysville, West

injury of a man named Andrew C.

KRAI' PS,
rewarj.s for petectinu fraips. ,
A bill is about to be presented for!
thc consideration of Congress to har -
monizo the action of the Secretary of
the Treasury with that of the United
States Courts in awarding informers
shares in internal revenue cases. It
will be remembered that by section 39
of the law of June f.th, 172, reduc
ing taxes, Ac, the giving of moieties
for the detection of frauds on the rev
enue was repealed, to take effect. Au
gust 1st, 1872. The courts conuuuc
to award the share to informers prior
to August 1st. 1872, without rgaru
to the date of settlement or payment
of the fines, penalty or ioneiiure.
T.rre classes of these cases go to the
Secretarv of the Treasury for decis
ion and distribution, but owing to the
limited character of his jurisdiction
under the old law, the department
Las decided that it can not consider
anv claim for informers' share unless
two conditions are complied with
which are both beyond the control of
claimants, viz: the payment or the
money and the settlement of the cases
prior to August 1st, 1872, when the
repealing law went into operation.
It is quite clear that Congress did
not mean to prevent the payment of
informers under the oia law ior servi
ces rendered prior to the enforcement
of the repeal, and there will bo little
difficulty in securing uniformity in the
treatment of informers bv the passage
of a declaratory bill, stating in plaind
terms what was intended hy Boction
39 of the act above referred to. Be
yond this, however, it has been found
in practice that the withdrawal of re
wards for detecting frauds on the rev
enue is causing a sad falling off in the
current receipts from this- source, and
the policy under the experiment is
more than doubtful.
INAUGURATION'S.
The inaugurations' of Republican
Governors in the states of Xew York.
and North Carolina took place on
New Year's dav. It is a special mat
ter of congratulation that the state of
New York is now under the Govern

implicit confidence of the entire popr
ulation who value honesty in the ad
ministration of government. Gov
ernor lou it. Laiiiweil, in assuming
the duties of governor of North Car

can not (ill an office from my own party
acceptably to myself, I shall then con
sider it my duty to select a good man
from the opposite party, ami I know
every good ami true lcpuijlican in
the state of North Carolina will ap
prove my determination."

A statement of the popular vote
for President and Vice President in

Grant and Wilson's majorities to sum
up 539,137, as against 309,588 major
ity of the vote of 1S08 for Grant and
Colfax. The to(al votp in 1872 was
3,592,9s! for Grant, and 2.833,847 for

ASPIRATIONS DF.riXITELY STATED.
Secretary Boutwell, being inquired
of by certain members of the Massa
chusetts Legislature, Mates ue finitely
and frankly in a published card, that
he will "gratefully accept the support
oi inose gentlemen oi mo liCgisia
tare who think him qualified to re j "re
sent the state of Massachusetts in the
Senate of the United States." This
straight - forwardness in a political
movement is highly commendable.
V.1I1TE HOUSE RECEPTIONS.
Tho New Year's receptions at the
U'hito House were iv.oro than usually
imposing. Tho weather was cloudy,
but is said to have been better on this
occasion than for seven j'cars past, on
the first day of tho year. Tho Ma
rine Band discoursed fine selections
of music, while the Judiciary, the Di
plomatic Corps, the Army and Nary,
tho Cabinet and Foreign Ministers
and Congress were fully represented
in congratulations of the President
and family upon the cheerful opening
of a new year of social and official
life. Numerous private citizens also
called at the White House, and were
received.
SECRETARYSHIP OF THE TREASURY.
It is rumored that the President
will call Secretary Delano to fill the
place of the Secretary of the Treas
ury after Mr. Boutwell resigns his
place. Upon the effect of the balmy
air of the Havanas on the health of
the present Secretary of the Interior
will doubtless depend tho future of
his movements. His large experience
and tried abilities in the capacity of
Commissioner of internal Revenue,
an important branch of the Treasury,
has already proved his fitness for the
Treasurry iiortfolio. Whether he or
Judge Ilichardson or ex-Governor
Morgan, of New York, receives the
mantle of Governor Boutwell, it will
fall upon shoulders amply competent
to bear it with honor, and to the sat
isfaction of the country. c. M.
A I ls;ht Wit Nbv,
Colonel William A. Hawley, quar
termaster of the United States army
at Fort Wadsworth, has just arrived
at the Merchants' hotel. He was
six days coining through, and had a
very dangerous time of it. The party
that left the fort consisted of the col
onel, a teamster, two Indian scouts
and a servant. They left Wadsworth
a week ago to-day and made their
way with the thermometer from
twenty-six to forty degrees below.
The first day they were overtaken by
a severe snow storm when near
Brown's Valley, near Lac Travers.
An Indian scout was sent out to find
the track leading to that place, but
night overtaking him he made his way
back to the camp, having all he could
attend to to get back again. A team
ster named Green, belonging to the
party, got separated, and has undoubt
edly lccn lost. 1 he next day Col
onel Hawley and the others succeed
ed in reaching Brown's, and immedi
ately commenced to attend to their
frozen limbs. No traces of the miss
ing man could be found, and he un
doubtedly perished. The Colonel's
hands and face are covered with
bandages. &f. Paul Pioneer.

nurniuc of f ifth Annn Tliratcr.
Xkw Yohk., January l.-About five
this nfternoon the Fifth Avenue Thc-
later. adioiniiiff Fifth Avenue Hotel,
was completely burned. Loss heavy.
The fire which totally consumed
the Fifth Avenue Theater commenced
shortly alter four, o'clock in the after
noon. It was about 4:25 when the
smoke was first discovered ascending
from the rear of the theater, although
the fire must have started long be
fore that time somewhere in the low
er portion of tho building. The mat
inee audience which attended to wit
ness the play of "False Sham"," had
scarcely more than dispersed. The
passers by witnessing the smoke gave
the alarm upon the streets, and a
crowd of several thousand persons
were soon gathered, nearly filling up
Twenty-fourth street from Broadway
west to Sixth avenue.
The theater adjoins Fifth Avenue
Hotel on Twenty-fourth street west,
and is the first building west on the
street towards Sixth avenue. On the
Broadway side the hotel shuts it out
from the river, and hence the flames
were not to be seen from that direc
tion. In scarce more than fifteen
minutes after tho discovery of the
fire the whole structure was ablaze in
all quarters, burning like so much
straw. The flames ascended with
great fierccnes-vand lit up the sur
rounding squares as though they em
anated from well arranged bonfires.
The crowd, which by 4: to had assem
bled to the number of four or five
thousand, had almost wholly block
aded Twenty-first street and took
possession of doorsteps and piazzas
of private dwellings on the north
side of the street to witness the con
flagration. The streets at that houy
were well filled with men making
their new yc" yills, who, as they
neared the imity, added to the
throng. There seemed to be consid
erable delay in the arrival of tho firo
department, as fully fifteen minutes
elapsed from the time the fire was
well under way before any engine
neared the spot, aud even upon their
arrival the usual alacrity seemed to
lie wanting in getting the hose on.
There was great t-xcitement at thi
time in tho Fifth Avenue Hotel, as it
was feared the fire would spread to
that edifice. Nothing but the strong
est exertions saved the hotel from ru
in. Had the high winds lately prev.
alent existed the whole block would
doubtless have been burned. As it
was there was not a breath stirring,
and henco" firemen M'erc. more easily
enabled to check tho devouring elo.
mcnt. After the arrival of the fire,
men the police drove tho crowds on
Twenty-fourth street clear back to
Sixth avenue, and even prevented
man- who were residents on the
street from ffcttinjr to their homes.
They acted at times as though quell
ing a riot. The crowd, however, was
very orderly, and retreated quietly.
The engines at seven were still play
ing upon the ruins of the building.
Another account says Mr. Appleton,
at a quarter to five this p. M-.-sasv fire
come, up tho register, but before ho
reached the street to give an alarm
the flamo had run through the whole
building, and enveloped it In a mass
of fire, which, in less than an hour,
completely destroyed the building.
Tho servant in Fifth Avenue Hotel,
who almost simultaneously with Mr.
Appleton, saw the fire, became fright
ened, and rushed wildly into the cor
ridors, but the chief clerk, Mr. Chaf
fee, at once restored order, and di
rected thirteen streams from the hotel
to play on the fire. This was the
means of saving the hotel.
About twenty minutes after the
fit-tit outbreak, the south wall of the
theater full in, currying with it the
east wall, which struck the west wall
of tho Fifth Avenue Hotel, and
caused a break some twenty feet wide
by twelve feet high, destroying the
drvincr and baking kitchen. Soon af
ter the west wall of the stage fell, and
striking the roofs of two private sta
bles belonging to rhillips t Phenix,
and Arnold, Constable & Co., almost
completely demolished them.
The horses were, however, saved.
The firemen who were called to the
fire were assisted by the hotel fire
brigade, and tbey were able to con
fine he fire to the theater building.
The building was owned by A. P.
Eno, who estimates his loss at $30,
000, whilo the lescc, Augustus Daly,
loses $150,000 in scenery, wardrobes
and improvements. All the private
wardrobes of actresses were destroyed.
The fire, which was caused bv a
defective fluo, broke out twenty min
utes after the closo of tho matinee
performance. Several persons, Mr.
Darling, among others, one of the
proprietors of tho Fifth Avenue Ho
tel, were slightly injured while at
tempting to save property.
Mesdamcs Gilbert aud Davenport
arc reported to have lost their dia
mond jcvelry. valued at several
thousand dollurs, while Messrs. Ko
clowell, Deverc and Lady Ringgold
and Clark are also heavy losers. AH
the musical instruments of the orches
tra, the library and mualo are de
stroyed. Mr. Daly has no insurance
on his property.

Sprinofield, January 2. Another
shocking and sickening murder has
lrc.cn committed here. The circum
stances and evidence indicate the
fact that an old man named Cornelius
Hcathcrton. a confirmed sot. killed
! his wife in a quarrel for the posses
sion of a bottle of whiskey, striking
her on the head several times with
the poll of an ax or hatchet When
the body was found lying on the floor
of the house, where the two lived
alone, it was nude, the clothing
having been burned off and the flesh
in parts roasted. There were wood
ashes upon the abdomen, and a burn
ed shingle was found, with a bottle
of spirits, near the body. Heathcr
ton's coat and underclothing were
burned and scorched, and it is believ
ed the Coroner's jury will substanti
ate the belief that after committing
the deed the rum crazed man built n
fire upon the body, thinking to hide
the traces of his crime. He denies
the act from first to last. Hcathcr
ton is in jail awaiting examination
before the Mayor on Saturday morn
ing. Both husband and wife belong
ed to the dregs of Bociety.

suicide to-day. He complained of
feeling unwell this morning, and re
mained in bed ; but nothinir stranrrc
was noticed until about one o'clock.
A physician was called to Fee him,
and it was discovered he had taken
morphine. The morphine had been
concealed in a piece of foolscap paper

immediately, but without effect, and
he died at two o'clock. It is not

Damn From Break Ire.
The ice broke this morning, at four
o'clock, and sunk the steamer Moun
tain Boy. The steamer Messenger
had her cabin fender broken on the
larboard side, also her engine knocked
out of line. She had a full cargo on
board, which is being removed to the
steamer Emma Flovd. An old wreck,
worth about a thousand dollars, and
a large number of conl barges and
flats were swept away. Tho steamer
Leonora was carried down the river
out of sight
DETAILS OF DAMAGE BY THE ICE
BREAK.
r NEW 1 ORK, HOC. 31.
Another account of the Cincinnati
ice break says : Early this morning
tho ice broke. The steamers Moun
tain Boy, Messenger and Grey Eagle
broke loose from the foot of Walnut
street, and were carried down on the
mail lino wharf boat, at tho foot of
Vine street, sinking the Mountain
Boy and damaging the other two
boats.
The Mountain Boy is sunk to her
boiler dock, and is held up by the ice.
She is now being wrecked. The
Messenger is crowded between the
Mountain Boy and Grey Eagle, and
has both sides and her after-guards
broken in, and her cylinder cracked.
She is in a bad condition, and it is
doubtful if she can be saved. Four
hundred and fifty tons cargo are on
board the Messenger. The Grcy
Eagle has hr guards smashed, and is
crowded on the wharf boat.
The Leonora, owned by the Louis
ville Mail Line company, was landed
a mile or two below the city, and is
fast in the ice. No coal of any
amount was lost here, though Several
empty barges havo been carried
away,
Tiie ice stopped moving about
seven o'clock, aud has not gorged
since. As it is still raining it is
feared the ice will move again at any
moment, when greater damage is ex
pected ah the boats nave steam up.
Cincinnati, Dec. 31.
The ice gorge in the river below
here broke up to night, and is being
carried off by the current in . heavy
masses. Some damage has been
done, but to what extent u not yet
aseertainud.
THE SITUATION LAST NIGHT.
The damage by the ice on the
river to-day is estimated at $150,000
to $200,000. The How o f ice slacken
ed about five p. !., but in an houi
afterward it commenced running
again. At nine p. M. a rapid rise in
the river retarded the movement of
tho ice. Tho gorgo reported below is
probably at the mouth of the Miama
river. Tho chief loss is . in coal
barges, torn loose at the lower land
ing and carried down the river and
probably sunk.
The Fifth street ferry boat has
been torn loose since dark and taken
down the river. The stern wheel !
steamer Katie Putnam was struck by
the ice and sunk. She was valued at
$15,000, and was insured for $(5,000
The little steamer Daniel Boone was
crowded with ice and her cabin
smashed in, Damage, $2,000, The
sterm wheel steamer Messenger had
one of her engines badly damaged
by being eruseed by boats alongside.
The Hettie Hegler, has been driven
ashore, but the rie of the river is
floating her again. The barge Night
ingale is sunk ; value, $1000. About
a hundred barges, averaging in value
$1500 each, have been torn loose and
carried away. They were mostly
empty.
The Mountain Bo- is now entirely
under water. Tho ice in the Licking
river has run out, which will probably
swell the Ohio four or five feet, and
may destroy every boat at the land
ing. At ten p. M. the ice had nearly
stopped (lowing hiiW, which indicates
a gorge lx'low. Several boats are
anchored in tho middle of tho river
with full steam.
Four yirn to be Ilnrijfeil on Clrcnin
atantlat Evidence.
Four men, nil of them whites arc
now lying in the county jail of Pur-
net county, Texas, under sentence of
death all to be executed at the same
place on January lo. their names
are Benjamin Shelby, Arthur Shelby,
Ball Woods and William Smith.
They were all sentenced for the mur
der of Benjamin McKcever. Their
case, taken in all its details, is one of
tho most interesting in the annals of
criminal trials. The evidence though
conclusive, was entirely circumstan.
tial. McKcever was shot from his
horsp nt night near the residence f
tho Shelbys, his throat then cut, and
his body carried on horseback three
miles and thrown into a cave. A
large rock was placed on the bloody
spot where his throat was cut, but
this precaution, instead of concealing
the crime, led to the arrest of the
criminals. The keen eyes of a fron
tiersman saw that the rock h.id been
recently placed there ; so it was re
moved, and indications of blood
found. A closer search resulted in
the further finding of a paper wad-
ling that had been tired from a shot
gun. Un examination a gua oi lcn-
jamin Mielby, paper wauuing was
likewise found in it, and yet another
wadding that had evidently been
fired from a shot-gun like the first,
was found under Shelby's doorstep.
In his house was found a copy of the
Chimney Corner, and by compari
son it was ascertained that the three
pieces of gun wadding had bceu ob
tained from that paper. Placed to
gether the following enigma could bo
easily read : ,
With piece of pujier or a ulate.

There were several other circum
stances pointing strongly to the ac
cused men as the murderers: there
fore the jury that tried them did not
hesitate to find them guilty of mur
der in the first degree. The verdict
is generally approved by the citizens
of Burnet county, and the latest ad
vices from there indicate that there
will probably be no interferences by
Superior Courts or the Governor to
prevent the decreed quadruple execu
tion. Keriwsis) Raiilroael Areidrnt.

one o'clock smoke was seen isu;ng ,
from one of a splendid block of buck
buildings, known as the Metropolitan
Block. The store was occupied by
11. 11. Barringcr, dealer in fancy
goods. Th- fire was undoubtedly
caused l.y Stme defect in tin: heuting

department the fire spread with great
rapidity, and before it conM h. ar
rested had destroyed seme eight of

and the heavy snow storm prevail

this as well as the surrounding projs
