i i! The Somerset Herald. W EDXESPAT, Marck 12, 1871. Altooxa, whicli lias heretofore been a Democratic city, was at the late election carried by the Republi cans, by a handsome majority. The local option bill as amended, was signed by the Governor on Thursday Inst and is now a law. The election is on the 21st day of tin's month .Do not fail to vote, and vote as your conscience dictates, and the best interests of the State re quire. A bill has been introduced into the Legislature looking to the repeal of the State tax upon cattle, horses, oc cupations, professions &.C., The last Auditor General's report shows that about one half million of dollars was last year paid into the State Treasu ry from this source. Tn Committee of the U. S. Fen ate appointed to investigate the charges of bribery against Senator Tomerot, of Kansas, reported the charges "not proven.'' York the State Senator, who got up (he false charges for the sole purpose of defeat ing roMF.noy'8 re-election, must feel "mighty sick' any feelings. bvthis time, if he has The public debt statement, publish ed since our last issue, shows that during the month of February a de crease was made of Four million, two hundred and twenty-seven thousand eight hundred and eighty dollars and seventy-seven cents ($5,227,830,77, and that during the four years of General Grant's first term $3r,8,0S2, ,r)'9,43 of the debt was paid. Hon. William Hopkins a well known and highly esteemed Demo cratic politician of Washington coun ty, and a member of the Constitution al Convention, died at Pittsburgh on Tuesday last, while on the way to visit hiB family at home. His funer al was attended by a committee ap pointed by the Convention, and by a very large concourse of sorrowing friends and neighbors. TnE descriptionof the inauguration which we publish on our first page, shows that the display and ceremonies of the second inauguration of Gener al Grant, were as brilliant and im- - , pressivc as they well could lie made, i considering the inclemency of the weather. The crowd was immense, and the pomp and ceremonies of the day exceeded those of any similar oc casion. It is said that, imitating the bad example f-et by Congress, the mem bers of our Legislature are talking of increasing their pay. Go slow gen tlemen 1 go slow! Wc admit that your pay is not princely, but you bar gained, when elected, to serve for the sum now fixed by law, and your coj stitnents will feel like holding you to the letter of the contract Perhaps there ou?ht to be an increase, and if c you really think so, vote it for your successors, but do not vote to pay yourselves more than you bargained to accept for the present session. TnE cumbersome and absurd provi sion, requiring voters to write their names oa the backs of their ballots.and have them attested by a witness.lately adopted by the Constitutional Conven tion, is exciting much unfavorable comment throughout the State, and if finally incorporated in the Constitu tion will go far towards preventing its ratification by the people. Some graceless scamp not standing in awe of the Solos nwho putthisclogupon a free and secret ballot, suggests as an amendment, that the voter be also required to enclose his card photo graph, and a lock of bis hair with his ballot. Tnc bill to increase the salaries of the President and other Government officers, also that of Members of Con gress, was passed during the last hours of the late Congress. There is some show of justice in increasing the salaries of future Congressmen, as they are deprived of mileage.statione- ry, the Franking privilege and other perquisites, but the members of Con gress who enjoyed all these perqui sites, and then voted themselves an additional $5000,00 each, show them selves to be possessed of fully as ca pacious maws, as did their collogues who dabbled in Credit Molilicr stock, to the utter destruction of their future political influence. At last the long agonr in the Kv- ans case is over, and the result of the labor is a most pitiful mouse. The jury has returned a verdict for the State for f 149,746, 53 against the great financier, who is said to la bankrupt This settles the case so far as the State is concerned, and ends the duty of our State officials al thongh it does not put into the treas ury of the Commonwealth a penny of her just dues. The court held, that under his contract with the late Governor, Kvans was not amenable in a criminal prosecution, and the Commonwealth had to be content with a judgment against him in the civil court. The inaugural address of the Pres ident is like the man, plain, practical, common Bense, without show or orna ment It is a straight-forward state ment of what be believes to be his duty, and a declaration of his inten tion to faithfully pursue it. It con tains no new or startling theories, is utterly devoid of partisanship, and maps out a home policy to be pursued for the benefit of the country, and of its people. The address will be read with satisfaction, and will largely in crease the number of the President's friends. It is so thort that none will fail to read, and so plain and simple that all can comprehend it, while it is & -modest an if coining from the Lum-t blest citizen of the land. Auditor General Auex who has been confined at Lome by ill health for several months, s i i far improved as to be able to r. surac his duties at llarrislmrg. A cotemporary says: ' Last week a most disgracclul scene took place in the U. S. House of Representative, during the Credit Mobilier discussion. The house was densely crowded, even the floor being given up to ladies who could not get into the galleries. In the midst of it all, Richard J. Jialdeman, wlio repre sents the York Cumberland and Perry district, appeared immediately in front of the Speaker's stand in the House, coatless, unkempt, with a cigar iu his mouth, and in a beastly state of intoxication, attempting to make a speech. The speaker declined to recognize him, and finally several members managed to end the shame ful spectacle by coaxing Haldemanto his scat. Wiien wc requested the Dale city Record to withdraw its false accusa tion against this journal or make it good, wu anticipated just the course it has pursued. Wc knew from experi ence that it had not the manliness to make reparation for a wrong, and an ticipated its silly attempt to apply the ridicule which its editorial ego tism and malignancy had drawn up on itself.to a community which its as sumed championship has injured, and which it does not represent. We have studiously abstained from taking part in the dirty little local quarrel, which this teapot of a Rec ord imagines to be a tempest, and do not propose to be dragged into it, though that journal, like the frog in the fable, should burst in its efforts to swell it into importance. The editor of the Record is not the first individual we have known who always attributed a base or pecuniary motive to an opponent, thereby inva riably betraying a sordid soul, meas uring the cupidity of others by its own. It is also charged that our journal is controlled by others, because the Record has repeatedly made the as sertion and we have not "dared to deny it." So logical a way of arriving at truth is stupendous. Let us test our cotemporary by his own method of reasoning. It is alleged that he is sclfwilled, nay, obstinate as a mule, arrogant, offensive, a mere tool in the hands of others who use him and I his journal, to prosecute a petty wran gle waged for years before he came into the communitv. and that he, a follower of a meek and lowly master, is dictatorial, a (omenter of strife, a traducer of his neighbor, an epitome of uncharitableuess. Now our brother must specifically deny all these.and perhaps a thousand other equally unfounded imputations, or by the system of ratiocination he brought to bear on ns, he is convict. Wc simply return his chalice to his own lips. 4 I.ynrbiiia; I" Kentucky Particulars r th II at Grid Mwrder la Indium. Cincinnati, March 3. A dispatch from Frankfort, Kentucky, says a band of men Saturday night 6eied and whipped a white man named Harden, four mile from that place, so severely that it is thought he will die from his injuries. They alleged to iiini that he had been stealing. Advices from Rushville' Indiana, regarding the murder of . T no.

Three bullets were found in the head of the deceased, and the coat which he had got from Anderson was found by the roadside half a mile frtmi the place of murder covered with blood. Ander son has lecn arrested. Blood was found on his clothing. He had bought a revolver of deceased only a day or two before the murder.

The jury in the Kvans case returned a verdict in favor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, on the first count, in the sum of $149,702,53, and that the defendant was not an officer or a pro fessional agent, but received money as a special agent by the Governor of Pennsylvania pursuant to the provi sion of a joint resolution of the Leg islature or March 22d, 1 8G7, and John F. Hartranft, Auditor General, 1870, said appointment is made part of the verdict The second and third counts of the narr are uot supported by any evidence in the case. It is generally supposed that the Commonwealth will take the case to the Supreme Court The friends of Evans claim that the verdict sustains the position taken by the defence, that the money was not fraudnlently withheld, and that the debt is equivalent to a common debt, to be collected asin other cases, without imprisonment. The defendant was represented bv Judge Rlack, Lewis A hi, Robert II. Stephens, of New York. The Commonwealth was rep resented by Attorney General Piru mick. BalBr Portioa fBleaabarg-, K. C'aasBBird.

WASUiNOTON.Mar. Cth, 1873. THE LOl'SI ANA MOB. The attack in New Orleans on the officers of the third Police station and Council Building by a mob of several hundred opponents of the Kellogg State Government is disgraceful to the Bounty as well as to the city and State wherein it occurred. The loss of life which was involved should ,bc laid at the door of the demagogues who assume to lead the ignorant masses, and who counsel the use of force, fraud and every unscrupulous means of attaining their selfish ends. The promptness with which the mob was dispersed is worthey of all praise. No half-way measures are merciful in such a ease. The consti:uted au thorities must be sustained until law fully changed, or anarchy must pre vail. The hate of the populace not only against the national authorities, but against those sustained by State judicial authority is in great part the work or demagogues working upon the sympathies of the late rebels for democratic control. If it be true as alleged, that ex-Governor Warmoth left Washington a lew daya since threatening the violent overthrow of the Kellogg State government it will be difficult to persuade the country that he has not been instrumental in causing this outbreak and its baleful result to many poor unreasoning men whose blood has been spilled in the necessary maintenance of law and order. How long will it bo that the followers of such men can be cajoled into sacrificing themselves and the good of their State and Country for the mere aggrandisement of an in dividual who cares nothing for them beyond his own elevation to office and what that office yields him. The lesson is a sad one to the families of the killed and wounded, as well as to thoughtful men everywhere. The elevation of the masses in that sec tion through common schools every where established and mantained is the only remedy for such bloody "ententes" in the future, and the coun try should demand of Congress that means be provided for the support of schools in the South without unne-sary delay." Educated masses are too in telligent to be made the tools of such confessed mountebanks. Let educa tion lift the people above such dis graceful exhibitions. THE MOIOC WAR ENDEIK There appears to have been no trouble whatever in treating with Capt Jack and his Modoc warriors for peace on a simple basis of justice. He denies that be commenced the war, but savs the settlers began it bv I killing his wife and child : that he de sires to live at peace but wished to have his people settled on land where they can subsist without the certainty of starvation before them. The peace commissioners have proved a success despite the prophecies to the contrary made by settlers who thirsted for In dian blood, having first shed it with out provocation. No doubt the lat ter class of settlers were innocent of the original murder of Capt. Jack's family, but they should have made an example of those wild sav ages who committed the foul deed, instead of leaving this small trick un protected from such miscreants except by their own savage mode of warfare. the uovernment win doubtless give the Modocs hunting and fishing ground sufficient to supply their simple wants, and until some murderous set tlers again attack them there will be no further excuse for making war up on them at the expense of millions of the public money. THE FOURTII OF MARC II. The inauguration ceremonies we a complete success. The military and civil pageant was the finest of the kind yet witnessed. The inau gural address was brief and to the point as are all the words and acts of President Grant The cold weather was so sudden and unanticipated that the grand preparations for the Inau gural Ball came to grief in spite of the thought and care that had been bestowed upon it The immense ball room could not be heated during the cold wind storm which permeated it at all points. Instead of G000, not more than 800 tickets were sold, and of those who went many will be hurried into there grave by the colds there contracted. The ladies who attended in their gauzy ball dresses were obliged to wear their winter wraps and to shiver through the wonted festivities. The bal masque on the night of the 5th instant was alike a failure, and for the same reason. Old Boreas could not be re sisted, c. M. Another Fight Between Polieraira ad Roughs. Chicago, March 7. The coroner's jury to-day in the case of James McVegb, one of the men shot by policeman Rcinert early yesterday morning, and who died last night, rendered a verdict completely exoner ating Reinert McVegh admitted to the physician who attended him that he and the party with whom he was were engaged in beating policeman Kerch, when Reinert fired on the crowd. Tom McVegh, brother of James, who also received a bullet from Reinert's pistol will die, and policeman Kerch's injuries are, it is feared, mortal. About ten to-night another fight occurred between the police and a number of roughs on Clark street, near Jackson. Officer Cudmorc had arrested John Ilanlihan, who was engaged in a row in a saloon near the locality mentioned, and was taking him to the station, when he was set open by a number of Hanlihan's friends who beat him badly and re leased the prisoner. Some other of ficers coming up the ruffians fled, when Cudmore, who had regained his feet, fired at them, the ball taking effect in Hanlihan's side, inflicting a painful but not dangerous wound. Ilanlihan was then arrested and con veyed to the station, together with one of his attempted rescuers. Another Railroad Arrldrnt Two lira Hilled. About eight o'clock on Wednesday evening a fatal accident occurred at Portage Station, on the Pennsylvania Railroad, which was caused by the collision of a freight train and an engine. Tho engineer of the freight train when coming West discovered a locomotive on the same track taking in water, a short distance ahead. He did all he could to stop his train, but was only able to lessen the speed. lne shock came, and the standing engine is said to have been knocked almost entirely off the track. Both of the engines, as well as some of the freight cars, were very badly damaged. George Bcals, the engineer of the freight locomotive, was killed almost instantly, and Patrick Darby, a break man, was badly wounded. The fire man was also injured, and others are said to have been bruised. Mr. Beals lived at Altoona. Trains were de layed for some time in consequence of the accident OIK IIABRIKBIRU LETTER. Harrihburo, March 6th 1S73. According to previous adjournment, the House met on Monday evening. The regular routine or business was gone through, and at 10 o'clock Mr. Mahon called up the Local Option bill for final action. After consider able filibustering on the part of the opponents of the bill, a vote were fi nally reached and the bill a vote of 64 yeas to 25 nays and was sent back to the Senate for concurrence in the amendments, which had been made by the House. The bill as amended was passed by the Senate on Wednesday anil has gonc to the Governor for approval. During the discussion in the Senato on the bi'l, Senator Davis, of Berks, said that he expected next winter to rote for a bill repealing the Local Option Law altogether. This may be re garded as an indication that no re peal will be attempted in the present Legislature but at the same time it is a warning to the friends of Tem perance that they must be prepared to mantain a contest to regain the ad vantages they have already won. The sale of medical diplomas and honorary degrees by certain Colleges and Universities was again brought to the notice of the Legislature on Wednesday. It has been supposed that the prompt action of the Legislature last winter in repealing the charters of the offending institution bad rooted out this evil but it appears from adver tiscments which were read from the clerks desk, that the nefarious prac tice is still carried, on and that those honorary degrees and diplomas are of fered for sale both in this country and Europe. A resolution was passed directing the Attorney General to make inquiry whether any persons perporting to represent legally in corporated institutions were engaged in tb's business. An important military bill was passed in the House on Thursday. The number of companies in the State is limited to 200 equally di vided among the different military divisions. The bill also repeals the present laws requiring the payment of militia fines. The centennial bill as also brought up again, and was the subject of much discussion. The bill, as it now stands appropriates half a million, and has reached its third reading, and will bo put on its passage next week. The friends of this measure have circulated blank petitions through the different Counties and as many persons will sign almost any thing in the shape of a petition that may be presented them. It is very easy to see that this is a cheap way of manufacturing sentiment in favor of the measure. When the bill to protect mines in the bituminous coal regions was brought up it gave rise to an earnest debate as to the right of capital and labor and able speeches were made on both sides of the question. After being materially amended the bill we finally passed. Among matters of Local interest I notice the passage of a bill by the House authorizing an additional supervisor for Addison Township. Gov. Hartranft has sent in several veto messages, during the present week, one being a bank charter the other being that of a mining com pany, lne viovemors reasons wero that the bills.contained provisions not recited in their titles, which makes the acts unconstitutional. The Gov ernor is evidently determined to keep a sharp eye on legislation of this kind. After a delay of nearly two years, the case of the commonwealth against George O. Evans was brought to a trial on Monday last in the Common Pleas court of Dauphin county, and resulted in a verdict for the State of 150,000 dollars. But though the State has made out its case, it is doubtful whether the money will ever be recovered, as few persons be lieve that Evans has any property that can be attached by the judgment obtained. Kmyrna Disaster. New York, March 7 The London Times of the 22d of February gives the following particulars of the fright ful accident at Smyrna. A cafe built upon piles over the sea broke down suddenly during the performance given by a company of acrobats. There were two hundred persons present. A loud cracking was heard, and within five minutes the entire cafe bad disappeared under the water. A few of the persons near the entrance contrived to effect their escape, and some persons saved themselves by jumping through the window into the sea. Boatmen rowed up in num bers, but their efforts to save life were in rain. The 6carch after dead bod ies was a sad spectacle. The acro bats were withdrawn from the water in their showy costumes of the previ ous night. The limbs of all the bod ies were contracted with pain. I wo hearses were engaged the whole of one day in conveying the remains discovered to the hospital. The to tal number of bodies found up to the present is eighty, and it is supposed there is still fifty more in the water. The company of acrobats consisted of seven persons, of whom three were women, and one of these latter only survives, uovernment will institute proceedings against the proprietor of the cafe who did not pay heed to the warning of danger which was given him in tune. Chirac o. Chicago, March C. A bloody battle occurred at an early hour this morning near Douglas place, in the southwest part of the city, between two policemen and a number of half- drunken revellers, who were making a disturbance in the street. Refusing to obey the officers to keep quiet, the officers each collared a man w and started for the police-station, when the rest began an attack on one of the offieprs, and beat him so that his life is despaired of. The other officer came to his comrade's relief, and firing several shots into tho crowd succeeded in driving them off. Sub sequently James and Patrick McVeight, brothers of the party who attacked the officers, were discovered lying in the street some distance from the scene of the affray, each with a pistol wound from which it is believ ed they will die. To-day several others of the party were arrested. Fire at Nashville One Fireman Kill, cd aad Three Others Injured. NA6UVILLE, March 8.

At eleven o'clock, the gal leries being crowded with ladies and every available space of the floor fill ed, the House was brought face to face with the Little Joker. Mr McCormick attacked it with an amendment but it was voted down. Then Wainright tried to postpone the application of tho bill to Allegheny county for one rear, to give men time to dispose of their stock. It was tak ing the liquor men at a great disad vantage. They had invested largely and to be shut off on three weeks' no tice was an injustice. Mr. McCor mick rallied to the support of Wain right, and warmed up to tho injustice of this matter. Mr. Ramsey object ed, and the amendment was lost. Mr. Hancock moved to include Philadelphia which was done. Mr. McCormick offered an amend ment which prevents hotel keepers from allowing liquor in the rooms of the guests. Not agreed to.

A Man Murdered and the Body Thrown into ie Hirer. Memphis, March 8. Last Decem ber David D. Goree, of Auburn, Ark., a wealthy planter, left his home for Nashville, taking with him a large sum of money. The last seen of him was at Terrence, Miss., opposite the mouth of White river, with two rough looking men who had been put off the steamer Commonwealth. Yesterday a letter was received here from Coroner W. Dizier, of Ilcrville, La., stating that a body had been found in the river there with a pistol ball in the skull and several stabs on the body.

The seventh precinct station was quietly taker, possession of last night by the McEnerv militia. No resistance was offered by the Metropolitans on duty there, and no effort has been made to day to displace the militia. It is un derstood aggressive moves will be made by the militia to-night. For twenty squares to-night only one po liceman was found oa duty. They have been called from their beats and concentrated about the stations, Mechanics, Institute, etc. riOIIT BETWEEN MILITIA AND POLICEMEN. At about half-past nine o'clock to night a squad of perhaps fifty men attacked the third precinct station, firing into the building. They were repulsed by the police, but were quickly reinforced by about three hundred men. These were attacked by General Badger with about two hundred police and a piece of artil lery, and for about five minutes a sharp rattle of musketry ensued. Both parties maintained their position during this time, but at the second discharge of the cannon the militia retreated through Jackson square, and half an hour later the police re lieved their comrades, who remained during the conflict within the build ing. One man, a Mr. Hartman, was killed, and several were wounded. Later. General Badger moved down Charles street from Canal. Quite a large crowd had by this time collected about Jackson Square and on ihe streets leading thereto. When near the crowd General Badsrer ordered them to disersc. The militia refused to give way, when the police fired a blank cartridge, and soon after another shot was fired. This time the gun was loaded with grape, uy this time one man was killed aud several wounded. Another charge of grape was fired out of Stann street. Some ten or twelve are reported wounded, but only one man is repor ted killed as far as known. Only one policeman was wounded during the entire fight. At one time the firing was quite brisk, resembling some what a picket skirmish. For powder expended and fuss made, the damage was remarkably light -The grape of the metropolitans was more than the militia bargained for, and they are reported to have weakened speedily. Many of them are reported to have skeddadled in great disorder. The United States troops, about eleven o'clock, reached the j-cene of the conflict, and the remaining mili tia retired leaving then in possession. The Kellogites are jubilant. The McEneryites are quite the reverse. The United States troops now occupy Jackson Square and other points in tho city, and will no doubt prevent further disorder. All reports about a compromise are unfounded, as telegraphed on Sat urday. A compromise is improbable ; in fact it is now regarded as impossi ble A companv of United States cav alry, at one o'clock, passed up Camp street, to Gen. Emory's headquarters, but soon after returned to Jackson square. They are held in readiness to assist the police in quieting any attack that may be made. No fur ther trouble is apprehended to-night, the militia being satisfied at leaving them in possession. The city is full of rumors. At this hour (1:10) the streets are almost deserted. Up to twelve o'clock they were crowded with people. Everybody is inquiring the news from the seat of war. Thou sand of rumors were current, but the facts in the case have been given above. Charged With Forgery. For some days it has been known here that instructions have been re ceived by the counsel for the bond holders of the alleged fraudulent Fre mont Pacific Railroad stock to take steps to cause the arrest of General Fremont on a charge of forgery. It is said that these bonds to the extent of $(00,000 or $700,000 were put up on the Paris Stock Hoard, so as to cause their recognition as legal stock, by means of certificates from tho New York Stock Exchange; and that the stock list, had a good standing. Upon inquiry it now turns out that his cer tificate was a forgery, and itis alleged that Gen. Fremont must have been acquainted with the fact Criminal pro ceedings are, therefore, to be begun against him as the principal in the case. Instructions to this etlect have been received by the agent who rep resents the Paris bond holders in this country. Two GrrmaatilrlaSaarderdiar ney. Portsmouth, N. II., March 6.

London, Mareji 3, The discovery of immense frauds on tin? Bapk of pug land causes the greatest excitement in financial circles. It is impossible to state tho amount and extent of the forgeries, as everything is involved in mystery. The Rank of England cautions the public against negotia tion of certain five-twenty and ten-forty United States bonds, aggregating $230,000. It is thought that the for geries were perpetrated by a "ring" of American swindlers. The forge ries were discovered by the Roth childs noticing in some bills a differ ence iu the color of the ink used. The reward for the former has been increased to 2,500. The Minnesota Legislature has been called upon to make an appro priation for the purchase of trees and seeds to be distributed to each town throughout the State.
