A ma for the repeal of the "local
option law" has been reported favor
ably to the House.
Tiir committee appointed to inves-

on the basics of the State, has report-.-d
that William II. Pimmick. late a
memberof the House, Lewis 15. Kiebt
n.vcr and J. M. Kreitrr are clearly
proven guiltv of attemptin- to extort
money from the banks.
We observe in the published report
of the Legislative proceedings, that
a bill appropriating one million of
dollars towards the Centennial pro
ject has passed the Senate by a vote
of 4 to 1. We have not yet Been
the argument adduced in favor of
this bill, but we fail to comprehend
how, under the new Constitution, cn
appropriation of this kind can me
made.
The apportionment ui.i uiviuing
the State into lifty Senatorial ui-
tricts as required by the new Cousti-
tution, has been reported to tlic sen-

$4,000; Judges of separate Orphans'

$300 per annum.
Jidge Saffokh, of Hillsboro, O.,
has decided that the praying women
arc a nuisance. The Judge in grant
ing the application for an injunction
to prevent a band of singing aud
nravin? women from ;nterfering with
the business of a druggist, after stat-
ing that there was no objection to
singing and praying when they were
conducted so as not to disturb private j
rights or public tranquility, added:

After all the shameless chargt s ' the subject of remark in the Senate,
of fraud made by the MeClure-For- Lm?. Scott has hitherto quietly and

And how remarkable the fact, that
McClure is never a candidate but a
jung of graceless scoundrels take ad
vantage of bis unsuspecting nature,
to cheat him out of his election. The
innocent McClure will be kuown in
lrstory as the "great defrauded."
A Pill lias passed the House at
Harrisburg and been sent to the Sen

A HILL providing for the collection
of State aud count taxes in a man
ner similar to a special law imw in
operation in several counties of the
State has passed Fecond reading in
the House, and we trust will ltecome
a law.
The bill requires the Commission
ers of each county to prepare a du
plicate of all real and personal prop-1

purposes, not later than the first Mon
day of April annually, which dupli
cate shall be delivered to the county

thirty days notice by publication iu

the times and places when and where
he will receive the said taxes. All
parties paying their taxes Wforc the

to a deduction of five rer cent, and
all taxes remaining unpaid sixty days
after September Jst, shall In; placed
in the hands of a collector or consta

per cent, on the amount collected.
The bill further provides tor settle

and constables, Axes the compensa
tion f Treasurers at two per cent.
upon all taxes collected, and fixes the j
time of the
act going into enect at i

Ward Committee to throw the wo

Ac. This old formula is manifestly
intended to meet a natural tendency
of the Knglish Courts frcm w hich it
was taken as well as our own to fa
vor the rich and the aristocratic; and
it is a sad reflection upon that purity
with which we have been accustom
ed to associate the past.
Among the most absurd things
connected with the investigation of
Congress, and it is not the only man
ifest absurdity developed by the
present session, is the listening of the
Ways and .Means Committee to the
stump orations of P. (7. Jayne on
the customs moiety business, under
pretense of giving testimony. The'
country will not value Mr. Jaync's
opinion of the meu with whom he
has had acrimonious controversies at
a very high rate, when they know
that he is charged by them with col
luding with their clerks to first perpe
trate frauds in their name, and then
divide the proceeds of immense sums
thus fraudulently obtained ffs inform
er's shares from wealthy importers.
The chief point of this witness's tes
timony appears to Iks to attack the
men who have suffered at his hands,
and pronounce over and over again
upon his own innocence.
Certain Pemocratic newspaper cor
respondents here have telegraphed in
advance that Gen. Garfield has pre
pared a speech for delivery in the
House, taking strong ground against
the extravagance of the Treasury
Department in the employment of a
larger clerical force than at any time
since the rebellion. They allege that
Mr. Garfield will insist upon a reduc
tion of the force twenty-five percent,
founding the necessity of a reduction
upon statements regarding the rela
tive number of clerks employed in
1865 and 1873, which is grossly mis
stated by these corresjMindeuts. ; It
is rather singular that the figures of
Mr. Garfield should lie known in ad
vance by the N. V. Wvrld's and oth
er opposition correspondents, espe
cially when, if truly stated, they are
erroneous. Thus it is alleged that
any increase of the clerical force oc
curred to the number of 753 lotween
18C5 and 1873, when it is known to
all the older clerks that this apparent
increase arose chiefly from the fact
that up to 18C5 a largo number of
the clerks, now regularly in the Sec
retary's, Treasurer's and Register's
offices were on separate rolls known
as the 1 per cent, loan rolls, and not
included in tho Treasury Department
rolls. Rut Mr. Garfield will be heard
for himself to-day, and any errors
that he may commit will receive as
prompt attention from the press as
those of Mr. Dawes have lately re
ceived. Senator Carpenter made another
powerful speech on Louisiana affairs
yesterday. He argued with great
logical force upon the report of the
committee on elections, of which
Senator Morton is chairman, that the
Kellogg Government failed of elec
tion on the self-same grounds that
defeated the Grant electorsfrom Lou
isiana, as stated in the report of his
comn - 'tu'' F'Sncd by Senator Mor
ton, it was a lawyers argnment,
however, and left out of view abroad
distinction between the case of count
ing a few votes for Grant and Wil
son which could well be spared and
wherein a bad national precedent
might be set on the one Land, and
on the other the support of a State
Government already in existence
which had received at least the vir
tual sanction of the highest judicial
authority of the State solely concern
ed. True statesmanship consists in
taking the better way and thus avoid
ing the terrors of both Scylla and
Cbarybdis.
The Bureau of Education has in
formation that the majority of the
Committee on Education in the Con
stitutional Convention of Ohio, have
reported a proposition," the effect of
which would be, if adopted, to de
stroy the high school grade of the
Common schools of Ohio.

up to the necessity of educating her

the fear of the passage of Senator

away its head, and with it necessari

aly in American experience. The
great defect of the system here in our
Pistrict is this very deUiciciiey which
is about to be in part supplied by a
normal sch ol. The permanent stim
ulus of a High School into which the
lower grades are sifted is potent in
its beneficial effect all the way up

The true relative positions ot the
Democratic and Republican parties
were yesterday represented in the
House on the subject of the constitu

style on Fifth nucnue. Pupa got in
to the hands of the Philistines last
autumn, and busted. The girls were
genuine girls, notwithstanding the
fact that they had been fashionably
educated, aud they felt their poor
father's distress keenly. The old
gentleman's trouble so weighed upon
his mind that he sickened and took
to bis bed, and got into a bad way
generally. The house in which he
lived was fortunately in his wife's
name, so tbey could not be turned
out of doors, but as the old gentle
man had sunk every dollar he had in
the world, the question of bread and
butter became an emminent one.
One morning the old gentleman's
barber did not come around to shave
him, and Klla, the eldest girl.said she
could do it. She took her father's
implements and shaved him as nicely
and neatly as any tonsorial artist
could do it, aud dressed his hair and
trtmed his whiskers, and propped
him up in bed as comfortably as you
please. An idea struck Marv the
a -
younger.
"Ella if you can shave papa, you
con shave any other man."
"True," said Ella.
' "If you can shave a man I can
shave a man."
"True onoe more. Rut what has
that to do with us."
"Ella, do you want to starve?''
"No my child."
."Papa can't get out, Mamma is sell
ing off tho plate to get what we cat
each da7. I-et as H p all this by
starting a barber-shop."
Ella saw the point. The two girls
rigged up an extemporary chair
they took their coachman, whom they
bad not yet dismissed, because he
wouldn't go, and they shaved him
for practice, and dressed his hair, and
trimmed his whiskers every day.
To accommodate them he brought
his friends in, and iu a week's time
the girls were accomplished and ex
pert workmen, or rather work wo
men. 1
Then they Sold the horses and car
riages, and taking the proceeds fitted
up a modest,' but very neat shop in
Union Square and went at it. The
first customers they had were young
swells who had known them "in so
ciety," and great was their astonish
ment. ' ' ' ' ' ..
".Miss Mawy," said one of them,
"by Jove, what led you to thiB?"
"Papa failed you know Charles,
and we had to do this or worse."
"Worse! tv or scl Why, what could
you do that would be worse?"
""J'M'arryir man like yu?" replied
Mary, dabbing her shaving brush in
bis mouth.
It is an encouraging fact that the
girls have got all they can do, at good
prices, and arc not only supporting
their parents in comfort, but are lay
ing up a handsome sum besides.
Why should not women be bar
bers? .Imagine the deft, soft, warm
fingers of a pretty girl on your face!
A man would submit willingly
to have a his nose sliced off by one
of them. I cannot say that it is
in any way out of the way. If men
are employed in lady's shoe stores,
wbere tbey put on and take off lady's
boots, why is it not just as proper for
womea to he employed as barbers
and to shave men ? They do it better
and more pleasantly , than the men
barbers, and customers would never
be afraid that a drunken woman-barber
would cut their throats.

The young gentleman is, we will say,

He pet's iulo "society." Society
demands a dress suit, wliicu costs
$125, and society demands that
when he attends a party or a dinner
that he put on white neck-ties, and
light kid gloves, at $2.50 per pair.
And society, inexorable mistress that
she is, demands that he shall take
Araminta to the opera once in a
while, which means gloves, neck-tics,
boquutti aud carriages, which, with
seats at $4.00 each, means $30 for
the uijrht's amusement. And so Au
gustus discovers at the end of the
year that his $2,000 are all gone, that
he has overdrawn $500 or $l,000,aud
he commences peculiation or specula
tions the same thing so far as re
sults go and Augusta drinks to
drown his trouble, and finally he
lands in the Tombs and comes out a
poor, miserable wretch. This is
what happens to a great many Au
gustas. Society is what does it for
them.
DISTRESS.
The distress among the sick unem
ployed people in New York at this
time is terihle. Much has been
done by the charitable to relieve it,
but not one dollar has been given
where ten should be. Young James
Gordon Rennet, of the Herald, estab
lished soup houses to the extent of
$30,000, and others have done the
same thing, which is good as far as it
goes, but it does not go far enough.
The people who can come to the
soup houses can, generally, get on
without it, for they are able to do
something. Rut the worst cases arc
knowu only in the houses where
they live. Many prefer starvation
to beggery, and shrink from allowing
their distress to be made public.
A case of this character was
brought to my attention yesterday
by a child who was begging for mon
ey with which to purchase food and
fuel. In reply to questions he said
that his mother had just been confin
ed: that his father had been out of
work since autumn, and that he was
dying for the food he was too proud
to beg. I accompanied him to the
house in Canal street, where the fam
ily lived. The house was small, but
was occupied by a number of fami
lies. The boy led the way up a
flight of rickety stairs, which threat
ened to give way at every step.
The room presented the appcarncc of
the utmost squalor and poverty.
Every article of furniture which
could be sold had been parted with,
and nothing remained but a bed, a
table, and two chairs with broken
backs. Upon the bed lay a woman
whose face told the sad story of dis

Speaking of dress and things, the
Rrooklyn Woman's Ciub has made a
discovery, no less than the costless
ness of social life has been due to the
wearing of kid gloves men and wo
men have felt that tliey must "dress
up" to kids. Therefore the club have
inaugurated a reform by banishing
the mischievous kids from their re
ceptions. This will last two weeks.
Press will rule so long as the poor
devotees can stand it. A movement
has been made by crippled people in
Roston, to simplify woman's dress.
The drygoods dealers and modistes
nave cot oeen consulted in connec
tion with the movement, and they
cxcla.im as with one voice, "What a
hor r'ble idea!" and the rich will all
echo "What a horrible idea!"
business
is not as brisk as it was. The season
has advanced so far that the couqtry
mei chants have put off their buying
till the spring, and our merchauts
languish. The crash, so pleasant to
their ears, is not heard their clerks
and salesmen idle upon boxes and
bales, for the country merchant, he,
in whom they delight, cometh not.
Rut he will bo here in April with his
plethoric purse, or what is tho same
thing his A 1 credit, and the way
they will sell him goods will be a
caution. Money is tight, and there
is a stringency and closeness in every
thing that is exceedingly uncomforta
ble. The Grangers have disturbed
Railroad securities, stocks have
changed values, and there is a gener
al derangement, so that the average
New Yorker hasn't any idea where
he stands. Even goods in a store
have no fixed value, for.behold you, a
man's next door neighbor may be in a
position that compels him to raise mon
ey and to raise money tie must siaugu
tcr s.oods to the demoralization of
the market for days. Oh.my bucolic
friends, von don't know how will you
are off. The man who has a farm of
1C0 acres of fat land, paid for and well
stocked, is in as good a shspe as
any man In the world can be. Such
a man dosn't know what trouble is.
Think of a man worth a million of
dollars of dry goods in his store, on
which be owes $000,000. Now the
man is worth $400,000 Rut he can't
sell his goods nobody is buying
anything and his paper is maturing,
to meet his paper he forces his goods
on the market, he sells at a sacrifice,
expenses are enormous.aud when the
thing pans out he finds his saleable
goods all gone, and he, poor fellow
owes $250,000 and hasn't a dollar to
bless himself with.
Rut there is a bright side t it,
sometimes. If tho poor fellow ou ht
honestly to fail for $250,000, he fails
for $f.00,000, the odd $350,000 being
invested in the purchase of real estate
in his wife's name, and out of reach
of his creditors. I heard yesterday
a conversation to this wise:
Simpson Rrown has failed.
Jones Has he indeed! Well I'm
glad of it. He's worked hard for a
good many years and it's time he
began to lay off and take things'!
easy. I suppose he will set up a car
riage now. Won't he?
This explains it all. One merchant
who failed for a million has GOO
acres of laud up the Hudson in bis
wife's name, that is growing in va!-
ue, so that it is now worm over a
million. Rut this is not the case
with all of them. The high-minded
merchant, who fails because he can
not help it, and who turns out every
thing he has, and who takes a clerk
ship, has a hard and bitter lifo of it.
God help him ! he never comes up
again, but he grows old and gray
haired, in a hopeless, helpless way,
and finally tumbles into his grave,
unwept, unhonered and unsung.
His old clerks even forget him.
the tkmperance movement
in its western form has not struck us
here yet, but nevertheless, thero is
great activity among the temperance
and religious people. Organizations
are being perfected in every ward to
make head against the monster, and
the work that has 1een done has not
been fruitless The reformers here
have not remonstrated against the
rum-seller, but they have confined
their work to the rum drinker. They
arc establishing reading rooms, and
pleasant resorts as substitutes for
the saloon, and tea and coffee as sub
stitutes for rum. And although they
have but commenced, tbey have won
thousands from their ruin, and in
one neighborhood have compelled
several rum mills to close for want of
custom. Is not this a pretty good
way .

War.
Columbus, March 5. Immense
crowds which followed the crusader3
yesterday has induced a change in
the programme, and this morning
about two hundred ladies were divi
ded into four squads, going in oppo
site directions, but still each squad
had its attendants in large numbers.
At twelve o'clock all the squads
met at the Presbyterian church and
reported twenty places visited, with
varied success. At several beer sa
loons the doors were locked and ad
mittance refused, while at others the
proprietors treated the ladies well
and made them a speech evidently
prepared lor the occasion.
At one saloon, just as the ladies
reached the outside door a crowd of
men ran in and calling for beer, rat
tled glasses and laughed to show
their coutempt. The jiroprietor re
fused to allow a prayer to be offered,
saying that he feared it would only
cause the ladies to lie insulted.
One wholsale liquor dealer refus
ed to allow a prayer to be offered.
Several prominent groct-rcrs said
that they would gladly give up sel
ling liquor if the other grocerers
would do so.
Several saloon keepers expressed
their willingness to sell out, and
whether this was done or not to pur
chase no more stock.
No particular indignity was offer
ed at any place, and the ladies deriv
ed considerable encouragement from
this fact.
Qjuitc a number of signatures were
obtained to the c'tizens' pledge, but
not one liquor dealer could by song
or prayer be induced to sign the deal
ers pledge.
A Railway Horror.
Montreal, March 1. A fearful
accident occurred on the Great West
ern Railway, on Saturday niirht.
The Sarnia accommodation train
left London at 6:30 p. M.,consisting of
empty tank cars, baggage and second
clas cars, and a coach. When sev
en miles west of London, the coach
took fire at the saloon at the for
ward end, it is supposed by the fall
in? of a lamp. The fire was not
discovered until the interior of the
saloon was completely filled with
flames, which spread through the
coach almost instantly. - The passen
gers were compelled to jump from
the rear platform and through the
windows. The train was stopped as
quickly as possible, but before they
could be extricated eight persons
were fatally suffocated and burned.

which have been identified. After
seven bodies have been identified,

There are between two and three
thousand Sioux Indtaus at the a"en

number of Cheyennes anil Arapa

being driven away from the agency.
Reef herds of both agencies have been
roided and dispers d. No beef has
been purchased at the Red Cloud
Agency since the 11th of February.
Matters are not considered safe or
settled, though the troops met with
no opposition cn route. It is thought
that having effected an entrance into
the reservation in good shape, they
will be able to maintain their posi

ing nearly destroyed the Fremont
House.
Trains from the west were delay
