Hakt kanft, for a copy of the general laws passed by tbe Legislature of the State of Pennsylvania during tbe ses sion of 1873. At the Ohio Republican State Con vention last week Governor Xoyeb was re-nominated, and AWHoao IIabt placed on the ticket with him for Lieutenant Governor. The President has evidently deter mined that the anarchy in Louisiana must cease, and the legally constitut ed authorities be recognized and obey ed, or he will interpose the authority of General Government The proc lamation we publish in this issue is the ordinary forerunner of a procla malion of martial law, where the civ il authorities are jvowcrless to pre serve peace. Oub Constitutional Convention that roared so loudly in the index, of reformatory measures, has just voted its members a salary of $2500 each. If we remember aright, the act call ing it into existence limited the pay of its members to $1000, ond if this lie so, our reform pot must quit call ing the legislative kettle black, else its taste as well as the honesty of its professions will be questioned. The case of the Pittsburgh & Con nellsvillc II. II. Co., against the Mt Pleasant & Broadford It. R, Compa ny has been settled by the Supreme Court, directing the latter road to be restored to the possession and con trol of the former. Thus tbe at tempt of the Southwestern K. R. Com panv to Clch this important feeder from the Conuellsville road Las been summarilv snuelched. and by the time costs, damages Ac, are paid the parties who attempted this little game will discover that they have paid very dearly for their whistle. A bill passed by tbe New York Legislature prohibiting the sale of spirituous, malt and fermented liq uors, has been vetoed by Governor Pix, on the ground of its being en tirely too sweeping. It prohibits the use of the milder beverages, where it is adopted, and on the other hand, it places no limit on the sale of liquors where it fails of adoption. It is un derstood that a new Local Option law will be framed, providing for a sepe rate vote on tbe sale of spirituous and malt liquors, and that it will be ap proved by the Governor. A mono tbe strange political muta tions of the day is the fact that, Hen ry A. Wise, of Virginia, is striving to obtain tbe Republican nomina tion for Governor of that State Wise hanged John Brown, and by that act gave an immense inpetus to the popularity of the principles, on wbicn the Kepublican panv was founded, and now he is anxious for recognition from the organization he Loped to crush through the ignomini ous death of the gallant but rash old hero. A few weeks since, we published a notice of a case tried in Franklin county, raised for the purpose of test ing the Local Option law, in which the defense was that the law was irn perfect and therefore inoperative, be cause the return judges did not meet to count up the votes, but dimply filed tbe returns with tho proper officer. Judjre Hall held the returns to be sufficient, and directed tbe jury to render a verdict of guilty, which was done, and a writ of error was taken to the Supreme Court The case ' was argued last week, and tbe ruling of Judge Hall was affirmed. This settles the question of the constitu tionality of the law, in that particu lar, and disposes of several other cas es taken up from neighboring coun ties on tbe same ground. A w as anticipated, the passenger railway companies of Philadelphia protest against the tax imposed upon them by the bill raising a million dollars for the Cen tennial. As they were to be par doned all past violations of law in case they submitted to this tax, and they now flagitiously refuse to con done for past offenses, at so high a rate, the next step will be to have the law vindicated. Here is a capi tal opportunity for Col. McClvrk in Lis role of Reformer, or for some hon est official to signalize himself. Next winter we will have an appeal to the State pride of members of the Legis lature, to vote tbe wanting three fourths of tbe million that the rail way companies refuse to supply. When the bill was passed we thought tbe dodge rather thin, and said so. but we did not anticipate the farce would be eo soon played out. The Supreme Court of this State, of whose members s majority have been Republicans since 18C8, gava their first recognition of tbe party to whom a majority owe their election, in tbe appointment last week, of Benjamin E. E letch kr to be Pro thonotary for tbe Eastern district in place of James Ross Skowden whose term soon expires. Three years since this court appointed three rrotbonotaries all Democrats. It is true as a general proposition that, law judges should lay aside all politi cal bias, but that kind of Miss Nan cyish prudery, inducing the appoint ment of political opponents, for fear of being suspected of partisan senti ments, is simply a mawkish sentimen tality or a personal timidity that Las no business on the bench of so high .and important a tribunal. OI R WAftHIXUTOX I.r.TTFK. Wamhsoto.v 1. C. May 21. 1S73. Your correspondent bus ju.-t seen Tom Wrijrbt,thc murderer of the- ped ler Mr. Rogerskr some time Knee in this city. Tom is a Jirgc (very black) colored mau wei-hing more than 200 lbs, 2C years if ape. He will be executed on next Friday, Me morial day, the Attorney General bavin? positively refused to request tbe President for a respite for him. He was visited for tbe first time this morning by Mrs. Woods, his mistress who Las been confined in jail as a witness lagalnst him, and who has just received $288 from the govern ment as payment for the time sue has been retained. Notwithstanding the short time of the prisoners stay here, be seems perfectly indiflcreut, and tbe ministers who visit him are be coming discouraged, and appear to think he will walk upon tho scaffold unrepentant He got Mrs. Woods to promise to get him a suit of clothes, after which he abu-ert her shameful ly and accused her of improper inti macy with a colored man who was also a witness against him. Tom can read and write tnd it is said that he has written his confession. There are now 119 confined in jail awaiting the Bitting of the grand jury. Three of which are murder cases. The Civil Service Advisory Board is now in session in mis city acvis- ing improvements to tho system and not one movement before they are needed. It is beyond doubt that in several of the departments the local ring interests which are no where stronger than among government offi cials have prostituted technical exam inations to purposes of gross injus tice. It the Board can remedy this evil they will display an amount of practical wisdom entirely unexpected of them. It is tbe opin:.on of intelli gent men that the evils of the public serviee may Lc palliated and concealed but never thoroughly eradicated. The proclamation of President Grant yesterday is generally favora bly considered here. The democrats, or rather the sympathisers of the re- bclion Anti-republicans are of course up in arms about it and characterizes the President a tvrant of the iirst wa ter and claim it is only another de vice by which General Grant, expects to make our country an empire and himself an emperor. In the forthcoming report of the Commissioners of Agriculture it will lie shown that during the last fiscal year our total export of domestic produce was $559,219,718 of which $40G,41C 304 reprcsentingagricultural products, or 78 per cent of tbe whole. Our ex ports are as yet of too great an ex tent of raw material. Our exports of raw cotton alone show an enormous decline. Our shipments fell from $216, 889,507 to $179,274,291, a loss of $37,615,278. It is no less remark able that our cotton manufactures have greatlv declined showing a loss, as compared with 1871, of $1,253,806, or a third or the whole. Our foreign import trade shows a very healthy decline from the extravagant figures of last year while our exiiortst show no less gratifying increase. 1 he imports of April in New York amounted to $37,179,426, a decrease of over five millions as compared with April 1871. Of the late exports a larger proportion was in precious metals than for several years. The total exports lor the month amounted to $29,470,608 against $21,589,784 A smaller proportion of this export was of spice than last year. Thus it appears that t,he balance of trade is again turning in our favor. Tho Geneva arbitration Las pro duced a profound impression upon tbe public mind of tbe civilized world, showing a practicable method of ar ranging the most formidable interna tional difficulties. It is now proposed to establish an international rule of arbitration, which shall have force by the mutual agreement of civilized nations. It remains to be seen whether this movement be premature or not It may do if the parties to this compact be ready to enforce it if necessary by arms. But when two colossal empires, like Germany and Russia, see proper, (as at no distant day they probably will,) to engage in war of gigantic proportions it will re quire an immense combination or other civilized states to stand between tbem, and to command the peace. A grand peace Congress is to be con vened in a few months in Europe to in augurate this -movement for interna tional settlement The reason why the late Austrian financial panic did not effect this country as severely as it threatened, is now developing itself. A year or two ago Austrian capitalists held large amounts of American securities. During the speculation fever conse quent upon the plethora of receipts of Germany from the French war in demnity both German and Austrian capitalists became impatient of enly 6 per cent stock, and sold not very largely to invest in fancy stock of their own. When the crisis came, they had but a limited amount of our securities to throw upon the market, and consequently our obligations were not pressed home upon us as they might have been. The British money market is now greedy of American stock. Tbe rise in the value of real estate in this city is remarkable even in this speculative age. We remember a statement by a colored citizen of long standing a few years ago, that ground in the northern part of the city could be purchased at ten square feet for a cent but those lots were then bring ing ten cents a foot. Those lots at that time were entirely vacant and had been recently under crops. Now those lots are covered with fine build ings and the bare ground would be worth about $1 per foot Building associations are operating on an ex tensive scale. Many of them, of course, are mere speculative enterprises, but others aro doing a noble work in help ing men of small means to comforta ble houses. The late ovation given bv the Czar of Russia to Emperor William of Germany, covers up but very slightly grounds of uneasiness affecting the relations of these mammoth Empires. For many years there has been a large emigration of Germans and of German capital into Russia controll ing the leading elements of Russian nationality. At least one' fourth of the officers of the Russian army and most of tbe scientiffic men of the Empire are Germans. Tbe railroads are own ed and controlled mostly by Germans. The population of several of the west ern provinces is essentially German. These people have not been assimil ated to the Muscovite typo of civiliza tion, but retain their Teutouic cbarac- teristics. LIFE. During the year ending April 30th, 1873, there were 1.017 fires in New York city. The amount of losses adjusted $3,456,057 : total amount of insurance on property damaged $14.- 399,034. Nearly 160,000 bodies are buried in Greenwood cemetery, Philadelphia. f OIMM'M VASQrislHFD. larlin rib Band Marrrndrr conditionally. In- .San Francisco, Muv 23. The fol lowing dispatch has just been rccciv cd from Yrcka : Fairchilds Ranch, May 20, 4 p. m. While General Davis, Inspector General JIardie, Col. Green, col. Sumner, Col Gillcm, Col. Hoyt, Lieutenants Rockwell and Adams, with escort worn rnroilt to Van Bre mer's, Laving left the Lava Bed about ten o'clock in the morning, a courier intercepted them and delivered a dis patch to General Davis. The Warm Spring scouts in the advance were recalled and the programme instant lvchaii"cd. General Davis determin ed upon Fairchild's Ranchc instead of Van Bremer's as his future head quarters. The place is about twenty three miles northwest. Two Modoc residents of this ranche last evening interviewed five women captured bv Captain Hasbrouck,s command and from them gleaned in teresting accounts of Modoc opera tions during the last few months. The cause of the disaffection among the Modocs after the battle :s iiitcr estiny. Jack " consulted his i-tolen chronometer, and after suudry ges tures and exclamations promised his followers that they should shed rifle bullets as ducks do the water and escape unharmed. The confidence this statement inspired was rudely dispelled bv Hasbrouck's encounter, when several Mouocs were kineu anu others wounded. Tho Cottonwood branch of the tribe, from Fairchild's, decided to fight no more. 1 his res olution led to Jack's clandestine do nnrture. The Cottonwood.-, number ing twentv warriors and fifty women and children, hurried to Snow mount ains, the southern end of the lava de posit, preparatory to traveling to the Yainox reservation, and imploring pardon of the Great I atlier at ash- ington. The sudden and unexpected advent of Hasbrouck's cavalry aud the Warm Spring Indians, disturbed their peacful meditations, and caused them to run and fight. During tbe stampede Mrs. Hendricks alias Limpy, threw a babe of six months to the" ground in tbe hope of escaping, but was soon after killed by a Warm Spring warrior. The babe was brought here and turned over to a local squaw. It was also learned from the Mo doc women that the Cottonwoods earnestly desired any action looking to peace and would yield to tbe sol diers when opportunity offered. About this time the gentle Warm Springs outside the intervening apartment commenced singing one of their na tional melodies, and drawing their bright knives across their neat moc cassins, which caused at uneasiness among the squaws and terminated the interview. Fairchilds Ranche, May 21, 8 a. m. The latest order locates the head quarters at Van Bremer's, whither infantry went yesterday. General Davis remains here for the present Artrua Chokas and One Eyed Dixie returned at dusk this evening from the direction of Dorris ranchc. Mr. Fairchild, the gentleman who has cleverly engineered this consultation business, judged the Modocs must be at least seventy-five miles away. Both women said in substance that they had traveled a long distance. The women were taken into the presence of Gen. Hardic, Col. Gillemand Capt Hasbrouck, Fairchild interpreting. True to the nature of these women, they talked a long while and said little. Finally Artrua said the In dians were fifteen miles from here, and numbered fifteen warriors and fifty squaws and children. The Great Spirit had caused their hearts to bleed for the white jicoplc. All wanted to return to the fold and live in peace among the whites, but the present condition of affairs and due regard for their lives, prevented them from appearing within reach of the army. They wanted a peace talk. Let the great white chief, mean'ng General Davis, come out to see them alone, and talk over matters. No Modoc would surrender without a peace talk. Dixie corroborated the statement of Artrua. The interview lasted one and three- quarter Lours. At the close General Davis told Artrua and Dixie to go to the Modoc camp to-morrow morning and tell the Indians he should not come out for a peace talk, and did not believe in peace talks away from his men. lhe Indians must come to him if they wanted to talk. He would allow them to surrender. They had until Friday morning to appear at headquarters. After then he should shoot every Modoc found with a gun. The women told Fairchild they should not return to the Modoc camp; that question will be determined in the morning. Yreka, Cal., May 22. From J. II. McCoy, who Las just came in from Fairchild's in eight hours and fifty minutes, we learn that the Hot Creek band were brought in by Fair childs' party and surrendered to uen. Davis, apparantly unconditionally. They gave up their arms and were not under guard. The band number ed fifty five men, women and chil dren, including fifteen warriors. Among the number are Bogus Char ley, Shack Nasty Jim, Charely Head, Doctor Frauk and others, the best fighting men Capt Jack had. Bos ton Charlie is believed to lie killed, and Hooker Jim is hunting him. It is supposed there are twenty warri ors with Capt Jack, whose wherea bouts are unknown, though it issup poscd he is in tbe Hot River mount ains. Gen. Gillcm has been super ceded. Gen. Wheaton, Gen. Hardic, Gen. Gillcm, Lieut Rockway and others arc expeeted from the front this evening, when we will proba bly have further particulars of the surrender. McCoy says Gen. Davis was very bluff with the Indians, and gave them to understand that, if they artempted to escape, they would be shot by the guards. A. B. Meacbam, ex-Peace Commissioner, arrived this morning from Salem, Oregon. The object of his visit has hot transpired. Fairchild's Ranche, May 22. At one o'clock this evening One-eyed Dixie returned to Gen. Davis head quarters at a slashing pace, bcr horse being completely blown. She made ol)ediencc at once and let her tongue loose She reported the Indiansclosc at band, ready to enter camp under escort. All they asked was that Faircbilds should come but to tbem. No soldiers need come ; the presence of Fairchild would be considered a guarantee of good faith. "Where is Artura f" asked Gen. Davis. "Tied up," said Dixie. "Long ride ; no wa- ter." l nc absence or Artura gave rise to suspicions of foul play and they were only dispelled by her sud den advent. SLc. too. reined Ler foaming cayuz before Gen. Davis and said the Indians were hovering about the bills near here and yearned to surrender to the Typce, Fairchild. Blair and two or three employes of the farmers with whom tbe Indians were acquainted, mounted swift steeds, at the request of Gen. Davis, and started with Dixe. ! f P. M." News of the intended surrender spread through camp like wildfire. The soldiers ond Warm Spring scouts were alike elated at the prospect of a peaceful victory. Dixie told Gen. Davis before she started, that tho Modocs feared tho soldiers who killed them the instant they en tered camp. It required a great deal of diplomacy to convince her that the soldiers dare not disobey bis com mands. Donald McKay Captain of the Warm Springs, had to pledge his word that the scouts would not in terfere. Dixie was told that the gov ernment did not intend to trifle any longer. She might go to the Madocs, not according to her own wishes, but must leave camp. The great Typeo want no nquaws aliout here. She saw the point of tho argument and no longer hesitated. That is why she changed her mind this afternoon, af ter oho had decided not to carry more messages to the Modocs. 6 p. M. "Here they come" was the cry started in camp a few mo ments since. It brought every per son, citizens, soldiers, old and young, to his feet. Pressing forward to the crest of the hill west of the camp I secured an excellent view of the scene beyond. The procession was slowly moving along in this direction First came Mr. Blair, manager of t air child's ranchc, mounted ; fifty yards behind him Mr. Fairchild ; still fur ther twelve Modoc bucks, squaws and poppooses. Never did a proces sion move more slowly. The few po nies ridden bv the Modocs were guant and weak, and seemed scarce ly able to bear the women and chil dren who literally piled upon them. The bucks embraced Uogus Charley, Steamboat Frank, the curly headed doctor, and others of less note. They were dressed in motley gar ments ; nearly all wore portions of the regular uniform of the United States army, and every one carried a Springfield rifle. The women were dressed in clothes that had evidently been used by the fair sex within the confines of civilization. All entered the camp at a funeral pace ; the noise and bustlo among the soldiers was hushed. Few words were spoken. The Modocs said nothing, and no one approached them until Gen. Davis came forward. He met the proces sion fifty paces from the tbe house, and was formerly introduced to Bogus Charley. Charley is a slender, athlet ic, intelligent warrior of twenty, speaks thoroughly and- understands English. He smiled sweetly on the General, aud shook his hand, then all the leading warriors came forward and greeted him cordially Next every buck laid Lis gun beside him and awaited orders. General Davis said "give up your pistols and all your otLer arms " Each buck said Lc Lad no arms now. The General said "I shall give you a camp where you may remain to-night. If you try to run, or escape, you will lie shot dead." The order was ex plained to all and obedience promised. The procession then moved across Cottonwood creek to a clump of trees. At this point the trailings of tbe crowd came in. These were naked children and aged squaws who could scarcely hobble, the blind, lame, halt, bony scum of the tribe. There were sixty-three persons, men, women and children ; twelve bucks and twentv squaws with their children. Mr. Fairchild says there are twenty bucks missing from the Cottonwood branch of the tribe. Bogus said Boston Charley was killed, and Hooker Jim was looking for Charley's body. The disaffection Lere-tofore reported is corroborated by the cap tured Modocs, who parted company with Jack eight day3 ago. The cap tives arc now drawing rations and arranging for a feast. Captain E. M. Camp arrived at Van Bremen's this afternoon. Com panies E. and G. Twelfth Infantry, will remain here as a guard. Cap tain Kingsbury commands Company h. General Wheaton and Captain Winters reached here this morning. The artillery has been divided into squadrons, the Warm Springs ditto, for the purpose of following Captain Jack's faction of tbe Modoc tribe, and the respective commands will start out in a day or two. It is now well known that the Modocs have been within reach of the road from Ball's to the Lava Bed for a week or more, and could have done an extensive business in the butchering line had they leen dis posed. 7 P. M. Another Modoc has just entered camp and surrendered. OFFICIAL FROM GENERAL SCHOFIELP. Washington, May 23. The fol lowing was received here to-night: San Francisco, May 23. To General Sherman, Wanhinqton, D. C: Colonel Davis reports that about j half the Modocs, Wing whipped aud hard pressed by Hasbrouck, have surrendered uncoudiontially. Davis says he will push the pursuit of Jack and party, and hopes to end the war soon. Signed J. M. Scuofield, Major General. Merlon Hunan at a 'atholir Church Dedication at Mhaaaokln, Pa.

During the ceremonies of the laying of the corner stone of the new Catholic Church in this, city this afternoon a portion of the temporary flooring, wnicn nau wen erected lor tbe ac comodation of the vast multitude as sembles, gave way and precipitated a large number of persons to the basement ueneatn it. it is impos sible at this time to give filenames and number of the injured, but it is supposed that but six are seriously hurt. Bishop Wood, of Philadelphia, and Bishop O'Hara, of Scranton, who were Conducting the ceremonies at the time of the accident, "assisted by twenty clergymen, were among those who went down with the fall ing floor, but luckily escaped serious injury. Anthony Kelley, formerly freight conductor on the Reading Railroad, is po badly hurt that his life is despaired of. One man had both legs broken. A little boy and girl also bad their legs broken. Later Six persons received seri ous injuries internally and ten had limbs broken. A Brutal Harder. Chicago, May 21. A shocking murder, tho particulars of which have not yet eonie to light, was perpetrat ed some time last night in the north western outskirts of the city. Early this morning a man passing along what is known as Whisky Point road, near West Chicago avenue found an old man, evidently a farmer, lying dead in tho highway, his skull flattened with a club and his pockets rifled and turned inside out. It is the belief that the murdered man was a farmer on his way borne from market and that tbe murderers not only se cured all valuables on the person but likewise stole bis team and wagon. The vicinity where the crime was committed is a notorious bad one, and a number of robberies have been reported there. LAWLESS I.OriNIAWA. Proclamation of tho President of the l ulled Ntalea.

Major John D. Evaus, late Auditor of the State, died at bis residence in Xoblesville this morning. An lowat hlld Confined for Ten Years la a bom Three and a Hair l eet l ong andi!-J Inrhe Wide. The good old universal doctrine that all will be saved, may be a good thing to live by, and may do to die by, but we sometimes thiuk there ought to be a "lake of firo aud brim stone.'' and a regular fire eating, fork-tailed devil, whose business it should lc to snatch bald-headed, su-h miscreants and brutes in human form, as wc arc alwut to describe. It seems that there lives in Wa-d -ington township, this county, a man named Wertzer a German (not a Bohemian as the papers have it) who has a wife, a good farm, and 8 si r rounded by all the comforts of life, apparently and it also appears that this man and woman had u foolish child, a girl ten years old, who ten years ago, was known in the neigh borhood. All at unco the child was missed by the neighbors, and finally was forgotten by all of them, save one Mrs. Steffes. Mrs. S. has kept her in mind for the last ten years and upon inquiry about her a few days ago, and getting an evasive answer, suspicious were aroiired, and she made affidavit before the prpcr au thorities, sufficiently strong to emu pel legal investigation of the case. Sheriff Thompson accordingly called upon the family, and made inquiry regarding the missing child. After some hesitancy, the father led the officer to an up-stairs apartment, ami ,i ... ...,.?.. i,..v- c Si feet long by 22 inches wide, which contained the human being a girl now ZO years old wallowing in her filth, and a signt which beggared description. Suffice to say the officer returned, and the Commissioners, 4 consisting of Dr. Coleman, Hon. (J. It. Willett, and S. E. Tubbs, Clerk of the district Court, repaired to the hou' of Wert zer, to examine into the case. The report of the Commissioners has been made, but we learn that the girl is not insane, r does not exhib it sufliicient signs of insanity to place her in an asylum thus the lusaue Commissioners have no jurisdiction in the case. The girl is described a a poor lit tle, helpless erippled-np th'iig her lower limbs being half bent ami her arms likewise crooked. She has laid in ner little box on her face, in a doublcd-up condition, until she ap pears more like an animal than a hu man being. 1 ho appearance ot the child indicates that she was lir.-t lammed into the nine ix, ami cov ered up, until she had grown ill shaped in fact until she became a frightful deformity, and then the in human parents were as.-hamed to let the people sec her, and so they kept her confined in a filthy little pen or b x for ten years. These are the in dications presented by the appear ances of the child and her cage. The human mind cannot contem plate the suffering and misery this human being has endured the long, cold winters she had passed, in that miserable den the starvation, and privations she had suffered, and the wicked, cruel, demou-Iikc, and out ragious treatment generally, which her appearance indicates she ha re ceived These facts, and tin- inferences drawn arc given us by a description of the child and her place of abode, by the Sheriff of the county, and the prominent physicians of our city, who saw for themselves, and know where of they affirm. jr This report will cause the matter to be taken up by the grand jury, and humanity demands of them a verdict that will be a lesson in moral deprav ity and human barbarity, and a warn ing to human devils, that a great sin cannot go unpunished, even in Win neshiek county. The entire German population of the country feel aggrieved, and their senso of honor and Lumanity is shocked, at the development of this barbarous conduct on the part of a German family.
