WEPXESDAT, ... - November IS. W73.
I.i our Ust issue wc denounced
tbe manner and tbe tinia which the
Constitutional Convention has fixed
lor submitting tbe new instrument to
rote of tbe people, and we recur
again to tbe subject for tbe purpose
of censuring the method adopted for
apprising the people of its contents,
jireuous to the day of election.
It is certainly desirable that the
people should be" fully informed upon
n instrument which tbey are called
opo'n to adopt as the supreme law of
the State, and for the purpose of se
curing them this information, to a
reasonable extent, tbe Legislature in
tbe "act" providing for tbe calling of
this convention, expressly stipulated
that the new constitution, or any
amendments to tbe present ue, agreed
upon ly it, should be "published
once a week in at least two newspa
pers in each county, where two news
papers are published, for four weeks
next preceding the day of election
that shall be held for the adoption or
rejection of the constitution or amend
ments so submitted." And this ac
tion of tbe Legislature, providing for
the giving of proper information to
the people, was simply in accordance
with the precedent established when
the present constitution was adopted,
which in compliance with the law
then enacted, was previous to tbe
election, published in all tbe papers of
the Commonwealth.
But tbe late Convention, setting
itself above and totally ignoring the
law of its creation, determined that
it would vouchsafe the people tbe in
formation desired, not in the manner
provided for by tbe law which called
it into existence, but by printed sheets
to be furnished to all tbe newspaper
proprietors, by them to be folded in
one issue of their paper, and thus
circulated among the people.
We grant that a circulation of the
precious document might be thus ob
tained if the Convention owned all
the paws in the State, or had the
power to compel obedience to its
mandates, but such not being the
case, we take it for granted that there
are but few publishers with so little
self-respect as to voluntarily engage
in this petty business. In years hap
pily gone by, patent medicine circu
lars were so distributed by a few
starvelings of the country press, but
thanks to tbe educational progress of
the age, and to tbe fact that legiti
mate newspapers are now all con
ducted in accordance with fair busi
ness principles, there are but few, if
any publishers who will sacrifice
their true interests, make their journ
als a mere vehicle for tbe circulation
of gratuitous advertising, and hum
ble themselves by accepting a pit
tance to remunerate their folding boys
for the manual labor performed, in cir
culating tbe proposed voiistitutivn oj
the great ComtnonuraUh of l'ennyl
vania. To us the proffered pitiful sum of
one atid a half cents for each sheet
bo circulated, smacks of jobbery and
malfeasance on part of the Conven
tion. The act calliug tbe Conven
tion into existence provided that each
member tberecf should receive a sal
ary of one thousand dollars, Cfty dol
lars each for postage and stationary
and mileage, ten cents per mile cir
cular, and also, as above stated, that
tbe document incubated should be
p nblisbed in at least two newspapers
in each county, and to defray these
expences tbe sum of live hundred
thousand dollars ($500,000) was ap
propriated. Hut in direct violation
of this law the members voted them
selves a salary of tirenfy-fire hun
1red dollars each in addition to post
age, stationery and mileage, and bar
ing thus "gobbled up" nearly the en
tire appropriation and left nothing to
defray the cost of publishing the in
atrument as tbe law directs, they
coolly offer the publishers of the
State a pittance f from ten to fifty
dollars, according to their circulation
out of the money appropriated to pay
them, they having pocketed the bal
ance.
L nder such a Bet of circumstances
it is probable that but a small por
tion of the people will get to see the
constitution before they are called
upon to vote for or agaitiFt its adop
tion. It is a gross outrage upon
the rights of the citizen, and for it
me memoers oi me convention are
alone responsible.
Within three weeks Congress will
meet, and we expect to see tbeSeak
er's desk and the newspapers of the
land deluged with financial plans for
the relief of the country. Nearly
every newspaper editor, judging frtra
our exchanges, thinks himself a fin an
cial Solon, and apparently a majority
of Congressmen are bitten with tha
same mania. Producers are in favor
of keeping op values, and laliorers of
sustaining the present price of their
only commodity, consequently both
cry for an increased volume of cur
rency, little recking that a day of
adjustment must surely come.
Sixty dayt t ince, wc had, not a
plethoric, but a sufficient circulating
medium. That currency is still in
tbe country, and ia as sufficient for
its needs at before the panic. We
want restored confidence, and not an
increased volume of currency, and
we fear that the hopes of relief from
Congress, and the thousand and one
crude schemes that will be spawned
and offered the country as a sovereign
panacea, will only serve to excite
false hopes and procrastinate the evil
days that are upon us. Instead of
prostrating ourselves in the mud, and
praying to Congress for help, let us
an put our own abouldert to tbe
w heel, look tbe situation manfully in
the face, submit to tbe inevitable re
trenchment and shrinkage in yalue of
ootn manuiactnres and labor which
must come, and soon the boarded
urrency will seek its natural chan
cels, aud all will be well, if Congress
will also retrench and economise in
its expenditure of the public funds.
Our Democratic friends aro jubi
lant over the general result of the j
late elections, and it lvully A us
god to once more hear an r.v.ilUnt
crow from mouths that have I okcd
so lackatosical for I he lam half score
of years. The old Iemoc Hie corpse
has been galvanized iuu giving a
fow lifelike signs, ani straightway, a
resurrection and a new birth is ex
ultantly proclaimed by its late lach
rymose friends. Some of our Repub
lican editorial friends arc cruelly at
tempting to -destroy this nev born
Democratic bliss by marshalling stern
facU in solemn array, showing that
in this "off year'' the Republicans did
not turn out, that the elections gen
erally went by default, that the Dem
ocratic vote shows no increase, and
that local or State issues mainly con
trolled the results, but to us this
smacks of useless cruelty. Let the
poor fellows enjoy themselves, we in
sist, for soon the night cometh. Their
life for the last ten years has been
one horrid demnition growl," and
if it wasn't for the hope this little "let
up" gives them, they would inevita
bly have died in the faith that "Ca
sarism" was a reality in the Repub
lic, and that they, as slaves, had no
rights Republicans were bound to
respect. We bad got tired of trail
ing the Republican coat through the
political Donnybrook, hoping some
one would tread on its tail and
never a fitrbt. rvcxt rear we may
coax a lively scrimmage out of them,
and then comes the Presidential
year, when "our boys" being fairly
warmed to the work, will sweep all
before them. We insist on our Dem
ocratic friends crowing lustily while
fbev can. It will do them and us
both good.
Wi see it .stated that J y Cooke
will attempt to redeem his fortunes
by inducincr Coutrress to buy the
lands donated to the North Pacific
Railway, and furnish money to com
plete the road and pay its indebted
ness, or to procure tho indorsement
of the bonds of that road bv the Gov
ernment.
We are truly sorry for Mr. Cooke's
losses, but we do not desire to see
him placed on his feet again at the
expense of the national treasury.
Either of these schemes would take
over eighty millions out of the Treas
ury, and the road, if completed, could
not be expected to earn the interest
on the sum it wculd cost, within tbt
next decade.
The introduction of a bill of this
kind would prove a frightful source of
bribery and corruption, and the mem
ber who supports it may as well make
up his mind to quit the halls of Con
gress forever. The people are in no
mood to see the Treasury farther de
pleted by schemes of this character,
and they will jealously watch the
men who advocate or otherwise sus
tain them.
One of the nonchalant acts of the
late Constitutional Convention was
tbt insertion of a clause in that in
instrument forbidd'ng the future issue
of free passes by railroad companies.
And yet at the very time these gen
tlemen were thus publicly airing their
virtue, a larre majority of them
had "free passes" in their pockets.
Our only wonder is that while their
"hands were in" they did not make
it a violation of the "sacred inst.ru
ment" to give bridal presents.
would have saved many a luckless
wight, with a long string of young
lady friends, the gift of innumerable
trinkets.
Newspaper gossip says that Wag
gonseller, of Snyder county, will con
test the seat of Senator Dill, and
that Nagle, of Philadelphia, will
contest the seat of Senator elect, La-
man.
The Mat PrlMtiBC-oaire Burned.
Harrisbi rg, Nov. 5. A little be
fore 11 o'clock this morning smoke
was seen issuing from the basemen
or cellar of the State Printing-Office,
owned by I'enj. Singerly, and situa
ted in third st., below Market st.
at the corner of Blackburv alley, and
n half an Lour the whole building
was a sheet of flame. So rapid was
the progress of the fire and so dense
was tbe smoke, that it was with
the greatest difficulty that the men
and women employed escaped with
their lives, without being able to se
cure their hats and Iwnnets. There
being only one exit, the back stair
way, and that beine; 6oon cut off.
many had to jump from the second
story, and one girl leaped from the
third, a distance of at least 35 feet.
Many were almost overcome by the
smoke. An effort was made to save
some of tbe material in the building,
but nothing of any value could be
removed. About 11:30 the two side
walls fell iu, and the two end walls
fell out, with a terrible crash. The
Third st. wall in falling badly injured
several brick houses on the opposite
6ide of the street, one of which had
its whole front knocked in
Mr. Singerlev's building wa3 a fine
one, five stories high, supposed to be
hre-proot, about three years old, and
it contained much valuable machin
ery, including presses. About 2o0
persons found employment in it.
The Daily State Journal was pub-
isned therein, and its publication
will be promptly continued from other
premises. Mr. Singerly was printing
the Constitutional Convention pro
ceedings, and had about three day's
proceedings on hand, with all the ex
tra copies of the proceedings of the
entire session, and about 1,000 vol
umes belonging to the State, to be re
bound, all of which was entirely con
sumed. There was no insurance on
the building, and a very small one on
the machinery not one-third of its
value. It is said that Mr. Sincerlv's
loss will lie fully $200,000. The fire
spread to three frame dwellings below,
on Third Bt, destroying all but one,
and to tour stables in Blackbury-al

will reach about $250,000, with an

Latterly, James claimed that his fath
er had given mm some property
which, however, the latter positively
denied. About a month since the
father married a Miss Eliza McLain,
and this, as might be expected, caus
ed trouble to break out afresh. James
who was also married, Had one or
two children, lived with his father,
and on the coming of the stepmother,
the apartmeuts were divided between
the two families, and they kept hou.se
separately, although undtr one roof.
A few u&ys since the son and step
mother quarrelled in the vard about
the coal, and blows were struck. He
brought suit against her before a jus

which added to the seeming air ol
triumph on the part of his father,
seems to have crazed him.
James visited his butcher shop, pro
cured a kcue, sharpened it, aud pro
ceeded in direction of nis bouse in
search of his father. He found the
old man on the sidewalk a short dis
tance from his borne, and rushing at
him, with oaths, said, "I ni going to
murder you." lie then stabbed his
father in the left side of the abdomen
near the ribs. The wounded man
staggered back against a house cry
ing out, "Oh, I am murdered! My
God I Murdered by son !
Several persons were attracted to
the spot, and finding the old man cut,
cried out to the son that he had mur
dered his father. Jamcsthcn stabbed j
himself in the heart, and walking to
ward his home, fell within a few feet
of it. When lifted up a few minutes
afterwards, lie was found to be quite
dead. The father was conveyed to
his room, and medical attendance was
at once sent for.
An inquest was held ov er the body
of the son on Saturday, when the fol
lowing testimony, in substance, was
elicited.
Isaac Wheeler, a next door neigh
bor, testified that he started to go up
street just alter supjer, about six
o'clock: "I was c-oiiiir toward the
door when John Clemens bursted the
door open and came toward me.

said, 'My God, Billy, don't von know
me? I am murdered.' At this he
staggered back and fell into my arms.
I said, 'Graudpa, is it your' He
said, 'Yes, Billy, I am murdered.' 1
said, 'Who did it?' 'Jim's murdered
me.' I let him go, and he fell on t!ic
floor, his feet toward the staircase. 1
I stepped out

and saw Jim Ciemeu.-

he was drunk, and walked towaru
him and said, 'Jim, vou have mur

out distinctly any reply, but thought
be said, "Don't care, or that he diii
not mean to." I was so excited i S
not to remember. I thought Jim wai-
drunk; saw him full; I then passed
on, and paid no attention; I told oui
folks he bad murdered bis father; 1
then came back and saw a pool ol
blood. I theu called out to my wife,
"My Godl Jim has killed himself."
I saw no knife when I first saw him
fall. There was no light on the street
where the thing happened.
Dr. Keys gave his testimony in re
lation to the wound of John Clemens.
It is anincued wound near the ribs
and penetrates into the liowcls as fai
as he could reach with his un-'er.
He could not say whether the intes
tines were cut or not.

led. Postmaster Ncirley was in his
private office, and the four distribu
ting clerks were at once requested to
present themselves. As soon as they
had complied, he informed them that
two letters had been taken from the
mails, and he desired to find who had
ihem. All the four emptied their
pockets, but the missing letters were
uot among the papers produced.
Postmaster Negley then turned to
Charles R. Henry, one of the clerks,
und against whom suspicion had
jilted, and asked him if he had any
other letters in his possession. Henry
was somewhat surprised, but replied
iu the affirmative, aud then haudeu
over to the Postmaster three leitcrs,
the two decoy letters referred to a bo vct
and a third addressed to P. Phelan,
No. 72 Clark street, Pittsburgh. The
decoy letters had been opened ana
ibe money abstracted, but the thiru
was not touched. As soon as this
discovery was made the three othei
clerks were allowed to withdraw, auu
Henry remained with the Postmaster.
He then stated that there was no ust
to deny taking the letters, as the
were found in his possession, as wat
also the marked uiuuey. He asserted
nowever most emphatically that thi.

Lchnuou is again in danger from
that most accursed of all criminals,
the inccudiury. On Monday evening
while the moon was shining in its full
brightness, making it almost as light
as day,' at bo early an hour (eight
o'clock) that persons would be mov
ing about, the torch was applied to
the large Sweiter barn on the farm
lately owned by Mr. Jacob Funck,
now owned by J. Funck, Esq., and
Mr. Andrew Light, at the west end
of our borough.
The alarm was given, and our
fireman hastened to the scene, but
were unable to do more than prevent
the flames from spreading to other
buildings. The . birn was a . very
fine one, aud contained about fifty
tons of hay, 500 bushels of whcat,300
bushels of oats and other property,
all of which were detsroyed. The
live stock, fartunately, was all ia
another barn. At 12 o'clock, the
same night, another alarm was sound
ed. aud this time was the barn of Mr
Henry Loudersmiih, about a mile
southwest of town, and three-fourths
of a mile from the bam already de
stroved. This barn contained the
crops of the farm, which were til de
stroyed, together with a new car
riage, threshing machine and many
other farminir implements. The live
stock was got out There was an in
surancc on this barn, we learn, n the
Northern Mutual insurance company
of Lancaster county.
About the time this fire was uuder
headway, fire was discovered in the
Imrn ort the John Funck farm, a few
yards from the barn first destroyed.
The members of the Perseverance
tire company, who were still at the
scene of the first fire, rushed to the
place and extinguished the flames be
fore they had got hold upon the build
ing or contents. It was thought there
that the incendiary must be caught,
and some insisted that he was in the
building, but there was no such good
luck for those who would have glad
ly got hold of him.
ANOTHER fire.
This (Wednesday) niorum.r, at
about 12 o'clock, the hay barn of Mr.
Joseph Gingrich, in Independent
district, North Lebanon, was discov
ercd to be on fire, and was entirely
consumed.
It was filled with wheat, oats, ic.
and a number of farming implements
and was no doubt the work ot an iu
t ndiary.
Allrtl Atrocities la tiraat ParUn.
New Orleans, November 1. A
letter from Ex-Judge Charles J. Mer
rill, dated Calfax, Grant Parish, Octo
her 2Gth, says : In haste, and with
feelings of horror, I write to inform
.he public of tbe accursed actions ot
.he Metropolitan Police sent here by
Lieutenant Governor Anionic during
thi absence of Kellogg. On Satur
Jay night last tin: bouse of one of
-he most respectable widow ladies
n Red river was fired into, the
doors broken open, and the unfortun
ate lady aud her daughter of seven
teen summers were taken out. aud
lonible to relate, violated. Neither
f tbe ladies could be found until late
Sunday afternoon. An infant eight
aionths old, and grand-child of Ex
iovernor Wells, was found outiu the
road, some half mile from the house
.iid very near the spot where the
juI deed was peqietrateu. 1 he in
.tut was the niece of the lady ami
hild of Mum ford Wells, the oldest
.ou of Mat. Wells. Ihe negroes up
utc all say that it was the soldiers,
md wc all believe it. If they were
njtthe perpetrators 'bey instigated
he negroes to tbe horrid deed of in
amy. It is said here that when
Jolouel DeKlyne was informed of the
utrage, he smiled, and said "lb
rorps were up here for a highei
pmpoie than arresting men for :ue
i petty offence." Antoine is be
ieved to have sent these creatures
a j here to give the negroes a chanee
0 " revenge, and one told the writer
ihat he had a right now, under tLe
protection of the United States, to
shoot any white man he wanted to
shoot, and violate any woman he met.
1 said to him that these were State
troops, and not United States troops,
ind be replied that the Colonel had
said at a negro ball the night before
that he wanted all the colored people
to come and see him, and that now
they could do as tbey pleased, as
they were under the protection of his
soldiers.
