crn relel Congressman opened op
tbe topic for discussion, and the
Union soldiers are entitled to a hear
ing in reply.
This session of CoDgress
is but
two months old, and already the
Democratic members have introduc
ed 2,100 claim bills, a large majority
of which are to reimburse Southern
ers for damages claimed to have been
done by the army during the late
war. The amount so far claimed, it
is estimated, will exceed fifty millions
of dollars. Tbe Democratic leaders
bare taken the alarm and are stonily j
emloavorinp to stop the deluge.
- ; .
Tnr Democratic committee on op
propriat.ons in the House is very
vigorously at work cutting down the
pay of the boys at West Point, the
clerks in the departments, the officers
of the army, and all other Govern
ment employees. Economy is com
mendable, and we euggest that these
gentlemen give tbe country an earn
est of their zeal for thorough-going
work by cutting down their own sal
aries, and compelling Sam Randal!
and other Congressmen to disgorge
tLe Lock pay with which their pockets
are linod. Economy like charity,
f-hould Ix'gin albonie.
Oir representatives at Harrisburg
must be calculating upon a very pro
tracted M-ssion, as we observe that
the item for Legislative sa'uri in
the appropriation bill as reported is
put at $500,000, which is $1,500 for
each member for a session of five
months. Mwre work, less talk, an
early adjournment and a consequent
saving, will suit the views of the tax
payers in these pinching times. Three
months is long enough in all con
science for a session.
Morrison, the Democratic leader
of the House at Washington has in
troduced a tariff bill, largely reducing
the duties on many articles of import.
Ad exchange says:
"The real object of Morrison's tar
iff bill is two-headed: First, to pro
vide the Democrats with something
safe, to talk anout, and get them off
tbeir present dangerous sboals; and,
second, to decrease the Government
revenue so as to embarrass the Re
publican administration. On tbe
latter point, the New York LulUlin,
one of tbe loudest of retrenchment
advocates, says: At present, no one
can tell, within $50,000,000, what
revenue will be needed next year.
What folly then to introduce bills of
this character in tbe present stage of
legislation!"
It looks as if tbe example set by
the Tweed Ring in New York was
being followed by tbe Democratic
County Treasury rings in this State.
In Cumberland county it is charged
by the auditors that thousands of
dollars have been stolen from the
treasury during the last year. Bills
were enlarged after the example of
the Tammany Ring. One bill of 50
cents was made to read $50.50. A
tinner's bill for C5 cents was raised to
$j.G5; a postage account of 85 cents
to $2 8a, and so on until thousands
of dollars were thus stolen.
In Westmoreland county tho late
county Treasurer (Simon J. Miller)
is a defaulter to the amount of $5,
75C.II0. He is out in a card, assert
ing that he never used a dollar of
this money, and the Herald and Tri-
Lune thiuks that the Democratic pol
iticians of tbe county bagged the
ewag. It also savs that if a thor
ough examination was made it will
be discovered that in tbe last ten
yqars the county has been swindled
out of two hundred thousand dol
lars. Such are the virtuous Democ
racy. McClike, tbe leader of the "Lib
eral'' movement in 182, who ran
the Cincinnati convention in behalf
of Greeley, and supported Duckalew
for Governor, with the hope of car
rying this State into the "Liberal"
fold, frankly adaiits that Lis side
show has 'petered out." In response
to an invitation to assist' in re-organ
izing the movement for 187C, he savs
ia the TYinea.-
"Tbe Liberal movement was like
the bee biggest at ita birth, and fail
ing in its effort at revolution, it ranks
simplr as a rebellion that ventured
and lost There is nothing substan
tial left of it, and it has no marrow
in the bones of the skeleton to war
rant tbe effort to wire tbe thing up
ana attempt to put file inta it."
But tl gallant Colonel's disincli
nation to resaeitate tbe skeleton is
not tfce only evidence of its decease.
At the organization of the Republican
Congressional Campaign Committee
last week all the "Liberal" Senators
in Washington naked, and were as
signed representation on the com
mittee. The side shows will be very
meagre affairs in the campaign "of
this year. The Presidential fight will
be a square one between the Repub
licans and tbe Demrcraey.
Tat presence of a Democratic ma
jority in tbe lower House of Con
gress, has apparently turned the

We see no difference between ad
vocating the right cf secession and
denying the right o' the Government
to prevent secession, and the latter

precisely the doctrine under which

Habrisdvrii, Feb. 7th, 1S7C.
We lett the finance bill last week
in tbe midst of Senate manipulations.
Tbe bill as it went to the Senate was
considered by the House to lie in just
tho proper sbape. In tbe view of
their most erudite expositors of po
litical economy, it not only met all
tbe exigencies of tbe Treasury, but
threw such safe-guards around tbe
State Treasurer that it would be im
possible for him to " turn a penny"
to tbe detriment of tbe Common
wealth. Tbe Senate however tak
ing widely different views upon the
subject first amended the bill in sev
eral material rc.-jvects, refused to in
sert a " further safeguard" proposed
by Auditor General Temple, but to
cup lbe climax, on Monday last in
one of those "ticklish" night sessions
when tbe attendance of Senators
was rather attenuated that body de
feated tbe bill entirely on its third
reading and final passage, much to the
disgust of certain needy legislators
upon whom began to dawn the dread
apprehension that their present legis
lative work would certainly be only a
uuiadam honorarium and that there
would be no return for it in tbe shape
of dollars. The Senate however had
no intention of allowing tbe bill to
thus go by the board. On Thursday
a reconsideration was moved; the bill
amended so as to provide for a quar
terly investment of the sinking fund
surplus in State bonds and in this
shape passed and was messaged back
to tbe House, which body on Friday
refused to concur in tbe Senate
amendments, but appointed a com
mittee oi conference to conter witn a
similar committee of the Senate. ISy
these committees tbe differences be
tween the twj houses will be adjusted
possibly iu such a manner as will
prove satisfactory to both parties.
From present appearances the major
ity in the House is weakening aod
giving way to the superior skill of tho
minority in tbe practice of parliamen
tary tactics.
From the rural districts of Greene
county from the very rural districts
judging from appearances comes a
Democratic representative, Wise, by
name. If any similarity exists be
tween the name and the actions of
the man, 1 have-as vet failed to note
it. The chief glory of this represen
tative is tne originating and nurtur
ing of two buncombe bills cutting
down all the salaries now paid to
legislators and officers and clerks on
tbe hilL One of these bills has lieen
reached upon the calendar in the
House, and was then so amended
that no vitally remains in it. Its
buncombe characterwas fully shown
up as well as tbe motives of the gen
tleman from G reene. W hen reached,
his o'ber bill will probably meet with
the same fate.
Some weeka ago on motion of Mr.
Plummer of Crawford county a com
mittee ol investigation into tbe af
fairs of the Western Reform School
at 1 ittsburgh was appointed. This
committee at ence repaired to Pitts
burgh and entered upon tbe discbarge
of tbeir duties, summoning before
tbem the officers and inmates of tbe
school. The developments being
made are simply nothing. Tbe ac
counts of the ou trapes perpetrated
upon tLe inmates are shocking and un
less a different phase of affairs is pre
sented, the Reform School will not
have the shadow of a chance of an
appropriation from the Legislature
ibis year.
Serious charges against those hav
ing control of tie House of Refuge
in Philadelphia were also laid before
the Legislature on Friday, and a
committee of investigation appointed.
For the past two weeks petitions
from all parts of the State have been
ponring in upon tbe Legislature, ask
ing tnat it request congress to aid in
the constrnclion of tbe Texas Pacific
Railroad. These petitions beine tak

.cenng m regard to this enterprise, a

Rockdale, Texas, Jan. 27 J. M.
Raker, a young farmer of Pell eounty,
was recently murdered by Tom Will
iams, a negro desperado, who was
duly arrested, tried, convicted, and
sentenced to be banged to-morrow.
During lhe trial the court room was
crowded, and when senteuce was pro
nounced, and the prisoner was ironed
and taken back to jail, it was opculy
threatened that be should be burned,
as banging was too good for him.
Yesterday a crowd gathered around
the jail and demanded to be admitted.
The Sheriff had gone home, leaving
the jail in tbe keeping of a deputy.
Tbe doors were opened, and a dozen
men entered. Williams was pointed
out to tbem, and be was taken and
bound secure to the back of a horse.
Tbe mob then mounted their horses
and rode off on the Pell county road
about two miles. Dismounting in a
patch of woods by the roadside, they
bowed two mesquite saplings, fas
tened them together, making a stiff
arch, to which they bound tbe neg.o
by a chain. His feet were made fast
to tfce undergrowth, fazots were col
lected and piled under him and tbeu
set on fire. He begged piteously to
be spared, but his executioners knew
no mercy.
i or nearly an hour bis tortures
were continued, and the miserable
wretch's shrieks of agony were beard
more than a mile away. Wben
death came to his relief every one
of his murderer's emptied the cham
bers of bis revolveriato the charred
body, and with a yell of fiendish sat
isfaction tbey mouuted tbeir boes
and sped away.

has been missing since Thursday last.
This afternoon his bead, partly wrap
ped in a piece of nt w spa per aod sev
ered from the body, was touud lying
between a lumber p.le and fence in
that city. Physicians say that the
mau was murdered at least twelve
hours previous to the head being
fouud, and that an hour bad claps, d
trom tbe time of tbe murder tut it
was severed from the body. The
police are njw looking for tbe miss
ing body and murderer.
New York., Jan. 30. Tbe detec
tives were working busily to-day on
the murder case in which the head
of Wm. W. Sixmons was found in
tbe shipyard of John Euglinh on
Milton street. From the proximity
of the bead to tbe river it was thought
ibe body bad been thrown iuto tbe
water. Inquiries were made at
places where Simmons was in the
bubit cf visiting, but no person ac
knowledged haviug seeu bin since
Saturday night. A mous: those with
whom tbe murdered. mau was most
intimate, aud to whom tbe vffieers
looked for the most information
was Victur Kretz, who was kuown
also by tbe name of Andress Tucbs.
He was a helper in the same shop
as Simmons, and worked by his side,
and was also believed to be an in
timate friend of the deceased. He
seemed to be uneasy under the ques
tioning of tbe police, and pretended
to speak very poor English. He
told tbe detectives of Simmons being
in tbe babit ot visiting some friends
in ureenpoint, out on making inqui
ries tbis was fouud to be untrue,
acd was told by Kretz to mislead
the police. Kretz was detained in
the police office three hours, and
was afraid he was to be locked up as
a witness. The detectives did not
think Kretz knew anythiugabout tbe
murder, and he was allowed to go
borne. Among others interviewed
were the watchmen 09 tbe docks.
Oue was fouud who said he eaw a
mau answering the description of
Kretz down near the dock on Satur
day morning and was quite positive
about bis identity. Tbe detectives
then supposed that if Kretz as not
tbe guilty man lie kuew sjmething
about the mnrder, and tbey went, to
bis house al 93 North Third street
nd arrested him.. On bis way to
the nation house he purposely cut
bis hand. It bled freely, and he
kept rpobing it on his pantaloons.
When this was observed an examin
ation was made of bis clothing, which
tevetled a large spot of dried blood
on his paDtaioopi!. The detectives
then visited his Lousa s-j&ip, and
iouna a trunk locked and nailed to
gether so tightly that it was opened
with great difficulty. Jn this they
round packed the arms and lees of
the murdered victim, and in a boiler
they fon4 the trunk of the bodv
skinned .and cut p. The entrails
bad been removed and quiowice pat
inside, so as to cause speedy decom
position, i bere had been a pool of
blood on the floor, but efforts had
been made to obliterate it by scrap-
iug until tho boards were almost
white. Upon the dress of Mrs
Kretz, which had just been washed,
were stains of blood. She said she
had scraped the floor at the request
of ber husband ; that Simmons called
at the house on Tuesday night, and
tbey all had drink together, Sim
mons' drink be eg made stronger
than those of the others, and when
he was stupified with liquor Kretz
took a hatchet and chopped bis head
off, tbe act being witnessed by bis
little stepdaughter. Mrs. Kretz said
that she herself was then up stairs.
When Kretz beard tbe body was
discovered be admitted bis guilt,
nnrl khiiI he had done it because be
bad found tbe victim ia criminal in
tercourse with bis wife; but tuis
Mrs. Kretz denies. Tbe murder
was no doubt committed for robbery,
as Simmons was a!ways known to
have money ' on his person. The
prisoner" was found in possession of
Simmons' watch, and his little girl
siys her father took $3 and some
cents from the poekets of the morder-
ed man. Mrs. Kretz was taten to
tbe staiioa bouse and locked m a
separate cell, lbe prisoner, woo
says his real name is Kretz, is an

40 years old. stout build, five feet

The Molly Xasalrea.
Malch Chi nk., Pa., February 4.
Yesterday and last night was a busy
time at tbe police headquarters
Maguires, and the murderers of T.
throughout the coal regions, and
tbe result was the arrestiug
of six of tbe leading Molly I
B. Yost, a Tamaqua policeman, who
was shot on tbe 5ib of July last, and
Jobs P. Jones, who was killed at
Laosford on September 3d. The
counsel for the Coinnvmwealih have
facts in thuir possession which impli
cate a number of men throughout tbe
coal regions in tbe murder of miuiug
bosses during the last few years, aud
other outrages. One of tbe three
prisoners in jail here who is charged
with the murder of John P. Joues
his made confession, and ibis, in con
nection with other important evi
dence, has disclosed the names of
many prominent Molly Maguires.
Other arrests will soon follow.
Many of the secrets of ' the Molly
Maguire Order are already, in the
possession of General L. Albright
aod bis associates, aud it is confident
ly believed that peace-and order will
again reign in the coal regions.

tbe glittering bars in some conspicu
ous spot, so that H tbe world cau
see what one mine produces in fire
months! The vulue of tbe bars will
be ten millions of dollars in United
States gold coin ! If the idea is car
ried out it will be tbe grandest sight
among a million of grand sights, and
I venture to say more people will vis
it tbis "mountain of wealth" than
any other single thing in tbe building
Five millions of tbe bullion is now
boxed up for shipment, and the bal
ance will be ready in due season.
Few people ever saw such a vast
sum as ten millions of dollars in gold
and silver, all in one or several piles,
aud I tbiuktbe proposition of Messrs
Flood & Co., if carried through, will
add much to tbe charm, tbe wonder
tbe eclat, and the success of the Ex
hibition. .San Francisco Correx

Rockforp, III., January 30. A
farmer named Patrick Garland and his
wife Margaret were found frozen to

Stockcriege, Wis., Jan.
21, 1876.
To the Editor of Ita lnUr-Oeasn.
4a I am a reader of your paper.
I
arish to state a few facts in regard to
Mr.-II ill's speech in Congress last
week. In the first place, I was a sol
dier in' the Twenty-first Wisconsin
Infantry, and was taken prisoner on
the 20tb day of September, 18G3. at
Cblckamauga, and remained a pris
oner till tbe Cth of December, 18G4
about fifteen months. I was in
five different prisons at Belle Isle,
Richmond. Danville, Andersonrille
and Florence. S. C. I know whereof
I speak. Mr. Hill says it was home
sickness tbm caused so many to die
I will tell what caused the death of
so many of our brave boys. At
Richmond, what little meat we got
was almost invariably spoiled. It
was brought into our prison in a ball
barrel, and I have seen tbe maggots
one-halt inch deep in tbe bottom of
the tub. Our soup was thick with
sand maggots and bags what little
we got. For, mind yon, we did not
get as much in four days as would be
a ration for one day. At Anderson
ville our fare was worse. Here we
bad cooked rations one day aod raw
the next; bnt, O God! what rations,
when cooked! Tbey would boil what
little meat we got, wbich was gener
ally full of maggots; then they
would throw in their "nigger-beans,"
as our boys called them, without
cleaning tbem at all. and this stuff
was sent in to os beans, maggots,
and sand as thick as pudding. Tbe
teams would take out a load of our
dead boys, thrown into tbe wagon as
you would so mucb cord wood, and
when tbe wagon came back they
would throw our mush into tho same
wagon. When the rations were raw,
we would have one gill of "nigger-
beans," one gill of corn meal, ground
in the cob, and all this we bad to eat
raw. for we could not get wood to
cook with. 1 was shipped from Dan-j
ville to Anderson ville, or, as tbe boys
called it, to "Hell." in a catile-car.
In my car there were eighty-one ot
us. We were five days on tbe route,
and not one of us bad a chance to
get off the cars in that tisie We
had to stanj in our own filth, lie in
our own Glib, and eat what littlo we
bad in the filth. Mr. Hill calls this
"death by homesickness !' At Flor
ence I was paroled to butcher cattle.
Myself and four others one night
came to Florence. Sixteen cattle had
been shipped from sme place, and
they bad all died in tbe car suffocat
ed. The Quartermaster (Edward)
ordered us to dress these cattle.
When dressed, the meat was putrefi
ed. He said it was good enough for
the "d d Y'anks." He .had the
meat cut up, and put in the ware-
. .1 . L -
bouse to issue to ine prisoners iue 1
thc
next day. Colonel Harrison com -
manded the Fourth South Carolina
Reserve at that place. I was at the
warehouse when the Quartermaster
had tbis meat loaded for the prison
ers, and spoke to Colonel Harrison
about it. He told Edward3 not to
send it into tho prison. Edwards
said it was the order of Davis not to
waste any neat, and it was good
enough for the "d d Yanks."
Colonel Harrison told him he did not
care ad n if it was Davis' order,
it should not be given to them, and,
thanks to Harrison, the meat was
buried. Except for hiji there would
have been that much more . "home
sickness." I was fifteen months a
prisoner, and I never saw so little
homesickness among so many men in
all my life. It was not homesickness
that caused so many to die. It was
your rotten meat, your soap mixed
with sand and vermin, your raw food
without fuel to cook it, and your curs
ed treatment generally of our boys
that killed them. Yoors respectful
ly Geo. W. Howe,
Formerly of Company E, Twenty
first Wisconsin Iufantry.

Columbus, O., February .3 The
followioir letter baa been received
bere:
St Louis, Mo., Febroary 2.
Dear Sir Vour kind letter is just
received, and though I thought eve
rybody knew my general opinions
on the points of your inquiry, I can
not hesitate to answer you in fiucb a
way as to admit of no misconstruc
tion. I never have been, aad never
hall be, a candidate for the high of
fice of President before any conven
tion or lbe people. 1 BDan always
prefer to see that office filled by one
of the millions wh in tbe civil war
stood by tbe Union firm and unequiv
ocally; and of these I notice many
names willing and capable. Promi
nent among them is tbat or ueneral
Haves, now Governor of Ohio.wbom
- . .
we know is a fine omcer and a gentle
man in every sense. 1 do not How
ever wish to be understood as pre-
minj to advise anybody in the
choice of tbe man. My. wife aud
family are tron Catholics, but I am
uot; that, however, is nobody's busi
ness. 1 believe in tbe common
schools, and don't stop over the littja
matters which seem to be esaggeratr
ed by the press. I a some quarters,
however, thee schools are extrava
gant and indulge in costly buildings
and expensive teachers, so as to be
too heavy a burden on the taxpay
ers. Ibis tendency ongnt to oe
checked, which may easily be done
without making it a political ques
tion, self interest will regulate tbis
and make tbem free schools to all and
capable of imparting the rudiments
of a good English education.
lours, truly, W. T. oiiermax.
