Gov. Harthaxft has appointed

D. Penrose to be Judge of the Or
phans' Court of Philadelphia, to fill
the Tacaocy caused by death of Judge

The Democracy of Virginia be
coming envious of the array of "Con
federate Brigadiers" representing
the .Southern States in Congress,
have obtained the consent of General
Joseph K. Johnston, to become a
candidate from the Kichmoad district,
and ex Governor Walker has prompt
ly declined a re-election. How thor
oughly they appreciate conciliation
clown South ! What was lost in the
Geld, must be regained in Congress.
A IJn.i. has been favorably report
ed in the Icgislature at llarriel.urg
in regard to the salaries of county
Superintendents of common schools.
It provides that after the present
term of those officers the compensa
tion paid shall be at the rate of $2 for
each public school in the county, and
fl for each fquare mile of territory
wiihin the county limits. Counties
can pay more than this, if they see
proper, but the excess must be paid
out ol their reactive school .appro
priations. Hu.LAKn, the member of the House
from Delaware, who was taken from
the authorities of that county to
Harrisbur, for the purpose of ascer
taining whether he was privileged
from arrest, and who was remanded
to the county prison, skipped from
the custody of the Scrgeant-at-Arms
and has not since leen heard from.
A reward of $"00 has been offered
for his arrest. While in Harrisburg
he drew $.00 of his pay as a member,
and f 100 worth of postage stamps,
which he disposed of for 05.
The proverbially staid Xrlh
Anv i l an has "lost .its head," through
eve-ssive exultation over the defeat of
the "Tree I'ijio Hill," and summarily
wipes Hon. Geo. V. Lawrence who
voted for it off the list of gubernato
rial candidates, and gives notice that
no cne sustaining the bill can receive
the vote of a delegate from that por
tion of the State. Col. McMichael
may Cnd that this silly threat will cut
like a two edged sword. The vote in
the Senate -'T to 19 does not in
dicate ,a majority sufficient to bull
do.! the Slate Convention.
The Democratic majority in the
House Committee oa Elections seem
to be acting on the theory that no
republicans were elected to Congress.
They seated Patterson from Colora
do, who Lad not a shadow of claim
to the seat. They have decided to
overrule the decision of the courts
a-.d seat the Democratic contestant
from California ; and now, as they
cannot Cnd an excuse to scat a Dem
ocrat w ho wants llainey's place from
South Carolina, they will recommend
the passage of a resolution declaring
that there was bo election. Uaiaey's
majority was over 2,000, not with-'
standing the White League, and his
district Las given him as high as
S,0o0 majority.
Twe Democracy of Louisiana is
proving its perfect conciliation by the
.rrest, trial, and conviction in ad
vance of the members of the "Ke
turning lijard." The trial is now in
progress, before a court and a jury
from which every Republican has
Mn rigidly exrludei, while an eager
venemous mob howls for the convic"
tion of the defendants, and the tele
graph announces to the startled
country, that John Sherman, Secreta
ry of the Treasury, U. S. Senator
Stanley Matthews, and other promi
nent republicans, who went to New
Orleans to witness the count of the
olectorial vote are also to be crimin
ally indicted. The conviction of the
members of the returning board is
necessary to prove that the State
voted Democratic, and that Hayes
was not elected, therefore a verdict
of guilty may be looked for, what
ever may be the facts.. Thus does
conciliation show forth its perfect
wort.
Mr. Ff.rsaxi'o WookV Committee
has at last completed its Tariff bill,
in its general character it diminishes
very largely the Dumber of dutiable
articles, and reduces largely the du
ties on those that are left subject U
tai.
The sweeping changes made by it,
would if the bill became a law total
ly unsettle prices, for many nionthsi
nd perhaps totally destroy trade for
an indefinite period.
If this Congress had started out
wi'.k tbe avowed object of doing ajl
the CMBcbief it possibly could to tbe
country, it could not have accomplish
d more of evil than is likely to follow
tpon its devious courses. Tbe unset
tling of cuacufacttiree and trade by
this proposed alteration of lL tariff,
the discussions of which will drag
for months bet ore the public, the pro
posed reductions of national revenue
taxes, causing tbe manufacture of
spirits and tobacco to largely fall of, '
to the great detriment of tbe revenues, ;
the multitudinous and crazy propo
sitions regarding the national enrren-'
-y, whereby all values are unsettled,
the well grounded fears of large sub
sidy, and immense internal improve
ment bills, together with the appre
liessions of geoorally improvident
legislation has so distracted and
alarmed the public mini that every
element of prosperity and value is
prostrated, and uncertainty, alara,
and despondency prevail throughout
tbe business circles of the land.
From this state of affairs, no relief is
to be Loped, until this Congress has
flitted iu brief hour upon the stage,

The X. V. Tribune that was so
much enamored with Mr. Hayes'
idea of running the government with
out the aid of the politicians, and ex
pended so much sarcasm upon "ma
chine politic?" has apparently awaken
ed to ii3 mistake, and in an editorial
article entitled "The Art of Politics,"
takes the other track, a? follows:
We must not forget that governing
the United States is an a-t, and a
very difficult art, and it cannot be
learned in a week or two by smart
lawyers, merchants, ministers, and
authors, who have tad no experience
in the management of men and par
ties. 1 tte relormers oi our aay are
too much inclined to consider it the
highest recommendation of a candi
date for a political post that he is "no
politician ;" which is much as if they
should undertake to correct the evil
tendencies of the stage by insisting
that all plays should be performed by
men who are 4 no actors." it is not
usual to value a doctor for his ignor
ance, or to select gentlemen who
have never practiced law fjr elevation
to the bench, however highly they
may be distinguished fur general
intelligence and personal virtue. Dut
the principles of common sense which
are so rigorously applied to the liber
al professions are too often forgotten
when we come to deal witb atimrs oi
state. The doctrinaire reformer be
lieves that he can practice one of the
most delicate of arts without having
learned bsw, and that the right way
to govern a political party is to put it
under the care of persors who have
no practical knowledge of the me
chanism of politics.
This is pestilent nonsense. The
country is governed by parties, aud
probably, always will be, and the
management of parties requires a
certain tact, adroitness, and worldly
wisdom which ore only gained by
long experience. These qualities are
perfectly consistent with high moral
principle, and they Bre essential to
the first order of statesman-Lip. Mr.
Lincoln possessed them. Mr. Hayes
lacks them. Some of the counsellors
with whom Mr. Hayes has surround
ed himself lack them still more woful
ly than he docs. It is not worth
while to discuss the rights and wrongs
of the particular actions, appointments,
lines of policy which have been most
t-barply criticized ; we have only to
look at the situation of the country
and tho Republican party to-day, in
order to realize the extent of the
President's deficiency. At no time
since Le invaded Pennsylvania has
the country been in such danger as it
is now. The danger was foreseen
i . , ir j i i. '
long ago. Jir. iiajcuew v ;Ucu u

the honor and prosperity of the Na
tion would be made, and we believe
that no man in the United States had
a more tamest, and patriotic desire to
defend the public faith. He had a
strong and enthusiastic party at his
back. What has he done with it t
Divisions have been made wider.
Counsels have been confused. Half
the Republican leaders are fighting
the President more actively than the
public enemy, tod the rest are doing
nothing. The country is defenceless
at a most critical period of its history.
The financial heresies which a iittie
prudent political management within
the party might have checked, hare
made frightful Lead way. And all
that Mr. Hayes has really accom
plished, as cn offset to this deplorable
demoralization, is the choice of Mr.
Stanley Matthews for a brief but
destructive career is the United
States Senate ! Would he not, after
all. have done better for the country,
j and accomplished a little more in his
schemes ot adxinistrative reiorm, h
he had called to his aid the higher

Krjm lite Ashland Times.
During a rally in the Allen-Hayes
campaign a young Ashland gallant
said, referring to Wni. Allen, who
was then passing, "There goes the
next Governor of Ohio." A fair com
panion to whom the remark was id
dressed took exception to it. A bet
of four sheep was the result, the
young man, as events proved, losing.
He put off paying, however, and in
the Tildeu-Hayes contest lost a sim
ilar wager. Still he neglected to
deliver the sheep, and making a third
venture of the same kind on the re
sult of the Electoral Commission,
again lost. The young lady tLen
demanded the 12 sheep. The young
man still procrastinating, the lady
went to his Ashland store the other
aay and bought $25 worth of queens
ware on the gallant's account. A
few days later she was surprised to
have the goods replevined, and, now
a suit in resistance is on the tapis.
om IIAKKISIUKU LETTER.
HARRisin un, Feb. 2, 1S73.
More than a month has passed
since the Legislature met, and
though there has been a good deal of
hard work, but little of permanent
good has been accomplished. Now,
more than ever, it is apparent that
much valuable time has been lost by
not taking up the old calendar and
completing unfinished business. Ful
ly two-thirds of the bills ou that cal
endar have been rc-introduced during
the prcseut scst-ion and will have to
go through the legislative hopper
again. Many of these had advanced
to third reading and could have been
finally disposed of in a very
short time, while it will take weeks
yet to reach them under the present
arrangement. If members keep on
introducing b:lls at the rate they
are now duing there will be about
i two thousand bills oa the calendar
I bafore the Legislature adjourns. In
fact, tbo glory cl introducing-a
bill acd seeing their names in print
the next day is all some statesmen
seem to care about ; what becomes ol
the bill afterward is apparently of lit
tle moment.
The pipe lice bill though defeated
, jQ lhfl Senate is not yet given up by
i its friends.
, -ta fr;anA. It coornc ,,, i, nnc;,W
ed both by it3 advocates and oppo
nents to be the most important ia its
beariDga of any treasure that has
been introduced ia the Legislature
for years. When it was considered
in special session in the SeDate on
Wednesday afternoon the interest
was most intense and every avail
able foot of room was occupied by an
anxious and eager audience. The
debate was earnest and exciting and
continued for about four hours, w hen
the bill was defeated by a vote of 10
in its favor to 27 against it. This
was supposed to be the deathblow of
the bill, and the friends of the measure
were very much discouraged at Erst.
The game bill, however, has been in
troduced in tbe House, and an ex
amination of parliiiientary authority
reveals the fact that if the House
pass the bill the Senate can consider
it again, ia which case its friends
hope to effect enough changes in the
role of Senators to pass it. Some
curious and interesting facts have
been developed ia regard to the
Standard Oil Company and the effect
it has produced since it became a
power in the oil business. From the
year ISCfl to 1 ST I , inelasive, five
hundred and fifty-five million gallons
of re&nc.d oil were exported to Europe
at an arertge erica of 3 i cents per
gallon, beioz ia roud cumbers the
sum of one hundred tad eigbtv-j
-ii- -i- .i-ii ' "
seven millions of dollar.
After the Standard oLtaiaed con
trol of the business in 1S72 tbe ex
ports from the latter date to 1S70 in
clusive were one billion, at an aver
age pr;cc of 15 cents per gallon,
amounting to OyS hundred and sixty
fire million doiiars, .cr twenty -two
millions less than the first four jet is,
although the amouLt exported was
doubled. Tbe producers claim that
they had to double their labor and
cipense to produce the increased
amount, tut v.-ere defrauded out of a
fair price for it i.y tte power of the
monopoly. It is now es.ertiMQcd
that the Standard had leased or
bought tho right of way over fifty
ipiles of tcrritorv encircling the city
of i-ittibvrgh, and have secured a
complete oordcjj cf territory sur
rounding the w bole Kraford oil dis
trict, thus preventing the IayiDg c'
any rival pipe line out of this district
or into the city of Pittsburgh. But
more than this iheyrefjse to run
the oil of the Bradford operators,
whose tanks are oversowing on the
ground simply
that thev m3V crush
out the individual producer by mak
ing him liaLkrupt, cud buying
up for a song the whole producing
interest and own it as they now do
the refining and transportation inter
ests. Just think of it! One single
corporation outside of the State to
own and control a business which
afCra.-a a production, refining
and transportation tbe immense sum
of siity million aoIJar; yeply, while
citizens of our own Stale ar.3 ,au
rupted and driven out of the business
by thousands; and yet the Pennsyl
vania Legislature absolutely refuses'
, to assist them one iota in their ter-
rib'e str-ggle for a mere existence,
j The loal option bill received ablow
from which it wili not recover during
the nresect session, at ieast. Mr.

representative billard remanded
to Delaware oovstt jail.
hAUuisblrj, Pa., Jan. 23, 1S7S.
The House of representatives to-day
i decided br an almost unanimous
vote to remand to the custody of the
jailer of Delaware county Representa
tive J.ullarci, who naa ciaimea inai a
breach of the privileges of the House
had been committed in bis arrest
while he was a member of the Legis
lature. Dullard was delivered into
the custody of the Sergeant- at-Arms
of the House two weeks ago, and has
been under constructive arrest since.
The Judiciary Committee having his
case in charge, with a single excep
tion, to-day, reported against his
claims, and the House ratified their
action. Dullard is under indictment
for swindling several building and
loan associations out of about $10,000.
FLIGHT OF REPRESENTATIVE DULLARD.
The citizens of Harrisburg, mem
bers of the legislature and others,
were not a little surprised to learn
yesterday morning that O. F. Dullard,
the representative from Delaware
county, who v. as ordered by the
house of representatives on Tuesday,
to be remanded to the Delaware
county jail for an offense already
known to our readers had made his
escape from the sergeant-at-arms, Mr.
Gaines, in whose custody Bullard had
been placed for several weeks past.
Mr. Gaines last saw his man, on
Tuesday night in the room of repre
sentative S. S. Jones, of Luzerne.
He had intended to take Bullard to
Delaware county yesterday, and when
he looked after his charge at half
past seven o'clock yesterday morning
he was almost dumbfounded to learn
that Dullard had quietly slipped out
of the room and disappeared. Search
was instituted at once, and in a short
time a clue was found from which it
was learned that Dullard had been
noticed purchasing a ticket at the
Philadelphia aud Reading deioi for
the 5:20 train east, over the Lebanon
Valley railroad, for Reading. The
sergeant-at-arms immediately tele
graphed to the principal points in the
state, giving a description of the fugi
tive, and the probability is he will be
captured before many days liar

Auollicr Horror.
Washington, Jan. 31. The Sig
nal Service Observer at Kitty Hawk,
N. C, reports to the Chief Signal Of
ficer as follows:
"The steamship Metropolis strand
ed oa Currituck Lhl Hjuso. She
is a total loss. Two hundred and
forty-eight persons were on board.
Fifty swam ashore. There was no
assistance from the life saving sta
tions." The Chief Signal Officer has
ordered one of the operators at Kit
ty Hawk Etation to go at once on
horseback to tho scene of tho wreck
and open the telegraph station there,
aud forward all information as rapidly
as it can be obtained. The wreck is
about twenty miles north of Kitty
Hawk station.
The Metropolis sailed on Tuesday
from Philadelphia for Brazil. She
was dispatched by contractors for the
Madeira and Mamore Railroad. She
carried 2't) laborers, 500 tons railroad
iron, and several mails for uro.'l.
Tbe steamer was commanded by
Capt. Aukies. Paul J. White, for
merly Chief Fngiueer of the Lehitrh
Navigatioa Company, and James T.
Moore, a well known engineer, were
in charge of her cargo of railroad
stores.
The messenger who brought tho
news of the wreck of tho Metropolis
to the operator at Kilty Hawk did
not visit the wreck, but as far as can
be ascertained at present, it appears
there are persona still on board. Full
particulars will he obtained as soon
as the operator reaches the scene,
whither he started at 7:30 p. m., and
should reach there by midnight. The
Secretary of the Navy has directed
Admiral Trenehard, in command at
Norfolk, to send a steam launch
through the canal to the scene of the
wreck. The signal service sergeant
at Norfolk reports that the steamers
Croatan and coast wrecking steamer
Rescue have started.

hoyse, during the prevalence of a fu
rious southeast gale. Qreat confu
sion prevailed oa beard. Owing to
tha fury of the gale and roaring cf
the surf the orders of tho officers
could not be heard. About fifty of
the passengers and crew were w ash
ed ashore. About two hundred are
believed to be lost. From some cf
the tailors who arrived at one of the
signal stations it appears that the
vessel encountered beayy g&Ies from
the southeast for the last twenty
four hours, and when she struck she
was heading about southeast. Tbe

Sisters aud brothers, mothers and

tbe crowd under control. It is now
believed that the Metropolis was un
seawortby, and that in addition to
that she was overloaded.
THE UiSClJrllCN Or THE VESSEL.
The Metropolis was a double-mast-(d
steamship of iQl tons Lurihen,
ficely formed and sailing gracefully
ia the water. Tbe vessel was built
at Newburyport, Massachusetts. Her
eojjines were small and her speed in
(toti5.e,uon.''e moderate. Under tbe
cgme of The stars rod Stripes, she
bad beet) used in tiia'Cuaa trade,
sailing between Xcw York and Ha

of tbe Metropolis. To make sure
that she was staunch and seaworthy,
Mr. Thomas Collins, before the com-
pfeuoa of the contract cf charter,
visited her in w yo;k, and after a
most thorough inspection became sat
isfied that she was all that the heart
of seamen could desire. Shf. was
provided with extra boats, sufficient
to carry 225 men ashore. She had
accommodations for sixty cabin and
1C5 steerage passengers. The ves
sol was rated A2, and was insured
for $42,000. Hercargo, as it left
Philadelphia, was valued at ?C2,000,
and was fully ineored.
Washington, Feb , 1. The Sig
tal Service Station at the wreck of
the steamer Metropolis reports to the
Chief Signal Officer at 5 a. .m. as fol
lows: "Steamer Metropolis sailed from
Philadelphia on the morning of the
29ih January, bjund for Para, Bra

ber of passengers 2C0; about 1C0
drowned, and about 100 saved.
Steamer is a total wreck, and noth

no bodies aboard the steamer. She
sprung a leak about seven c'clock a.

the vessel was ia a sinking conditiou.
This is a statement of Dan Mcquil

"State of affairs this morning is
terrible. Dead bodies are lying
along the beach for a distance of two

proper places back from the beach,
and the living are hAag cared for.
About one-third of these found are
dead. Tbe two saloon women are
known to be dead with their hus

CAPTAIN ANKER's ACCOUNT OF THE
WRECK.
The Signal Service Station at the
wreck of the steamer Metropolis re
ports to the Chief Signal Officer as
follows, being tbe substance oi a des
patch by Captain Ankers:
Seeing no prospect of help from the
shore, the people on board gave up
all hope, and after tbe word was giv
en to save themselves, consternation
prevailed, and no mortal power
could control it. Tbe luss of life is
estimated at one hundred, with oc
casionally a survivor reporting, which
decreases the number of the lost here
tofore reported. Tbe beach for sev
eral miles oa each side of the wreck
is strewn with bodies washed
ashore.
THE SURVIVORS OF THE WRECK
Cantain Ankers, of the Metropo
lis, telegraphed to Major Tucker, of
this city, that the survivors will leave
Coiojack to-morrow afternoon at 1
o'clock for Norfolk. About one hun
dred persons are unaccounted for, in
cluding tha bodies which have tcea
washed ashore aud interred by the
neighbors. The picket launch which
left tbe navy yard this morning, sent
to tho vicinity of the wreck by the
naval authorities, is reported hard
and last ashore near the caual locks,
about ten miles from here. The cut
ter Hamilton, Capt. Irish, of the
Philadelphia station, has gone to the
vicinity of the wreck to render such
aid as may be of service in connec
tion w ith the wrecking tug Rescue,
which lefi here last night. The
weither gives evidences of being un
settled, with a heavy surf breaking
all along the beach.

drift. The train consisted of two en
gines, five cars, and a heavy snow
plow in front. At Fbyd's briJge, in
Revere, a drift was struck, which
threw the plow into the air. The
forward engine dashed under it, tear

A t'raajr Woman Freak.
Battle Creek, Mich , Jan. 29
An insane woman of this city, named
Mrs. Elihu Warriner, was recently
seized with a curious freak, and sub
jected a young colored girl to cruel
and almost brutal treatment, the facts
of which have just been made pub
lic. The girl belongs to a somewhat
notorious family of negroes ja Resti
tute circumstances, and one day while
out begging called at the house of the
insane woman, who was at home
alone, for something to eat. The
woman was cooking at the time, and
said she had nothing then to give tbe
little girl, but promised to bake her
a nice pie if she would wait a while.
Not knowing whom she was talking
witb, this wa3 an inducement for bar
to remain. Tbe lunatic did not fan
cy the girl's color, and told her she
had a process for making black folks
white; also kindly offering to give
ber tbe benefit of the same if she
would call again. The next morn
ing, being anxious to undergo such
a marvelous transformation, and be
lieving all that was said to ber, the
innocent negro put la an appearance.
She was asked to take off all her
clothing, and, after being placed up
oa the floor, face downward, tbe lu
natic took a scrubbing brush and cov
ered her naked body with strong lye
from head to foot, which produced
terrible pain, but resulted effectually
in eating off the black skin and ma
king a slight alteration in the poor
darkey's color. Her screams and
cries of distress aroused the neigh
bors, who soon came to ber assist
ance and took charge of the lunatic.
