Thk Democrats have stolen tbe
eat of another Republican member
(TCongresa. This time it is Mr.
Field of MaKsacbusett?, bo wait
ousted.
There was no allegation of fraud
or unfair counting in this case; the
wbole question w as as to tbe fairness
of two separate counts of tbe vote.
Tbe count on election day, w hen the
rotes polled each hour were counted,
gave lean (Hem.) a small majority.
A recount being demanded, tbe 15 jar J
of Aldermen as required by law, bad
careful recount made, when it was
ftbowu that Field (llcp ) was elected,
and he was given the certificate, and
took bis teal. Tbe question fjr the
IIou? was simply which of tbeiw two
rounts i n most likely to bo rir;bt,
tbe one made during tbe hurry of tbe
election, or the oue made deliberately
afterwards. Alter a vast deal of
whipping in, the House decided even
ly on the question, and Mr speaker
Ilandall, contrary to all usage, proved
Lis extreme partieaat-bip by giving
the casting vote, thus throwing out
Mr. Field by one vote. Kieht Dem
ocrats, possessed cf common honesty,
voted for Field, while General 15. F.
liuiler cast Lis vote for Iean, tLus
feeding fat a personal grudge. It
bas thus again been made apparent
that any Democrat who asks for a
republican's seat can have it stolen
for him.
That this was to be a reform C'oa
Ifress, run upon the most economical
terms, wm well adrcrtisod by the
Democracy, as soon as they found
that they would bate the control o(
it. The first thing that was dose
last year ben tbat body met, was to
firmly entrench itself by turning out
every Republican odicer aad installing
a Democrat in Lis place. Then com
menced tbe retrenchment and econo
my at so sweeping a rate that soon
tbe Government was brought to near
ly a stand still, and tbe Army and
Navy to the starvation point; they
cut and slashed at all tie appropria
tion bills, and loudly boasted of the
many millions they tad saved, but
w hen Congress met again this ses
sion, tbe first work it was compelled
to do, was to pass deficiency bills, to
make good tbe necessary amounts it
Lad "economized"' from the bible o(
lastfiessioB. They are at it again
this session, full blast; they pare, and
they prone, and rot down everybody's
pay but their own, they otrt down al
most every item cf expense in the
Senate appropriation bill, but tbe ap
propriations for the House are in

Lnndreds of poor clerks, and reduce

who Las noticed any bill looking to
tbe reduction of their own salaries or
a diminution of tbe expenses of the

three years frou the date of tte en
irv of depoeit therein, interest to be
paid oa tbe am .mat of the tax, at the
rate of five per cent, per aanum, af
ter tbe fir-t year. While this will
be a reli-f to the dtillsrs having
larte ouautilies of spirits in bond,
it will create an immense falling offj
. I
in the revenue, which wi.l necessari
ly have to be made up from some
other source. The revenue collected
from spirits fast year was over $57,
OCHM'OO, and it is safe to say that for
the next two years this amount will
fall off about two thirds.
It is reported from Wahhiagtoo,
that tbe Committee on Ways and
Means in the House, propose to re
duce tbe tax on tobacco from 24 to 1G
cents per pou'-d, and on cigars from
$0 to ?" per thousand This will be
good oe-vs to the manufacturers of
tobacco and tigsrs, but here will be
another large deficiency iu the pres

Tiif. Republican Sta'e Committee
met at Harrisburg on Wednesday
last, and decided that the State Con
vention shall be held at Harrisburg,
on the 15th day of May next. Ia
naroirg sj early a day the Committee
fully met the requirements of the
masses of the party throughout tbe
State. No loitering, trading, or dick
ering with other organizations wes
desired. The party wants good can
didates, a square unequivocal plat
form, free from al'. responsibility for
the present condition of National af
fairs, a fair fight, and it will sweep
the State. Tbis must be an aggress
ive campaign with no shilly-shally iog.
A Pennsylvania policy, tbe corner
stcne of which must be protection to
borne manufactures and home iadus
trr, must be mapped out by tbe Con
vention: the campaign must centre cn
State interests, the party must be
thoroughly organized, and ably led,
all local jealousies and personal in.
teresls must be put aside, the swind
ling bo,gvis-reform Democracy must
be taken by the throat, and tie
State thoroughly redeemed.
Tbe 15th of May will soon be here,
and then-after whb a sound platform
and good candidates, e must "push

The past week bas been a busy
one in the Legislature, es;teciaily ia
tbe Senate, where work has progress
ed rapidly and at-tbe saiae time qui
etly. Tbe House as usual bas biea
a bedlam. Even the immortal J. N.

Monday night. The Senate is at
least a month ahead of the House in
work, and on the priuciple that the
good boy Riay go out and play while
the bad oae must stay in and work,
it has gono home for a vacation cf
ten days, and Lace left the House to
work in its absence, ja that the work
of the lower branch may be reasona
bly well Cnirhed when the lime for
final Bdj Durnrneat arrives, as it must
at furthest ou the 30th day of May,
when the constitutional limit expires.
Sessions of rapid routine work were
bt'ld in the Senate on Wednesday
niglt and yesterday so that tbe Sen
ate calendars have been 'almost en
tirely cleared of bills. If the House
works as it should during tbe ab
sence of the Senate, something may
be accomplished.
As filed by resolution, the Senate
spent Wednesday afternoon in pay
ing tribute to the memory of the de
ceased Senator, Hon. David A. Nagle.
Appropriate resolutions were adopt

Ciiic.uiO, March 27. Information
of a trustworthy though unofficial
uature, received direct from Fort
Wbifcb, ia tbo Canadian north-west
territory, gives the outlines cf a
grand confederation of tbe Indians
notih of the line. The intelligence
bas a peculiar significance, coming as
it does from a post in the beart of
tbe Indian country, and where com
munication with the tribes under
Sitting Lull and Spotted Eagle is of
weekly occurrence, 'fho bands un
der Silting Lull and Spotted Eagle
have been reinforced by the lodges
from tbe Missouri Hirer agencies,
including those from Hid Cloud, and
it is estimated that between 5,000
aad 7.000 warrior, are within a ra
dius of 200 miles irom Fort Walsh.
Great numbers cf tbe savages are re
ported as having l een out after the
buffalo in large end small parties,
and have approached close to the
boundary line, and have undoubted
ly roved south toward the Missouri
Uiver, and it is these parties wbu.h
bare been mentioned in the recent
dispatches from General Miles as
having been rcen by his scouts. The
Indians are reported as being very
restless, and under the circumstances
members of tbe monated police
were to have kept tbe monster vil
lage under surveillance since the
Erbt of March. The troops at tbe
various post have been advNed
couHtautlv of all movetneot cf the
Indians, in order tbat the proper pre
cautious may be taken to provide
against any great disturbance that
might happen to occur. It is evi
dent tbat the Caosdians anticipate
trouble of some uature, and which is
contrary to all the reports received
from that rfgicn so far this Win
ter. It is not believed that any of;
the Indians north of the line meant
trouble, but thai tbey had sought
refuge on Cananian ecil to escspe
further hostilities.
A grand council of th head chiefs
was held in the camp of Sitting liull
during ibe last week in February,
wbeu it was decided thai, tbe Indi
ans wou'd resist the buffalo law,
which went into effect February 15
Some of tbe head chiefs harangued

wanted to know where the Lonar

the Long Knife to come and tell his
people not to go to war. The Long

told bis people tbe truth. Oulette, a
half-breed, spoke in the same strain.
Tbe Indians under Sitting Bull, at
the present time, number more than
when he met Custer on the Utile

telegraphed the following: particu

Ventnor :
"Tbe Earydice capsizjd off Dan
ncrie Head at half-past 4 o'clock this
afternoon in a sudden squall. Oae
boy an a seaman were saved".
Other advices indicate tbat be
tween 300 and 400 lives were lost.
Tbe admiral at Portsmouth, on
receiving tbe new of .the disaster,
immediately dispatched a steamer to
tbe scene of tbe wreck.
The Furydice was a training ship
fjr ordinary seamen, under the com
mand of Captain Marcus A. S. Hare.
Sae was a sixth-rate vessel of H21
tons burden, and carried four guns.
London, March 25. The following
additional particulars of the capsizing
of tbe training ship Kurjdics have
been received:
At four o'clock in the afternoon,
ben off I'aanese, and proceeding
under full sail, a squill struck tbe
Kurydice, and sbe capsized and sank
immediately. Tbe schooner Emmas,
passing the Eurydice at tbe time,
rescued five passengers, including
Lieut. Francis II. Tapor, after they
had been an hour in the water.
Three of them died, so the only sur
vivors of the disaster are Benjamin
Cuddiford, an nlle seaxan, and Svd
ney Flttcher, a fireiclass biy. The
fallowing is Cuddiford's state
ment: "The ship capsized in the squall

tbe last there were four cliogiog to
me, and 1 was obliged to kick them
off. Our ship left liermuda three
weeks ago. We passed tbo Lizard

Spitbead about five o'clock in the
afternoon."

for prayers at tbe time cf '.he disas

nothing would have been known ot
the disaster, as everything on the
sea was bidden from those ou tbe
shore by the bliading snow storm,
aud it would have been thought tbe
ship had gone cut to Spiihead.
At half past 3, the esplauade at
Vcutnor was crowded with visitors,
admiring the Euaydice, which was
carrying every available stitch of
canrass. She sailed so close to tbe
snores tbat from tbe pierhead tbe
cordage of tbe rigging was visiole
Suddeuly tbe sky became overcast,
and the snow and sleet descended
quickly, driving promenaders to cov
er, and biding tbe vessel from view.
When the storpi lifted, only the
scbooLer Emma, lowering her Ijoats.
could be seen.
Fletcher states that he was below,
when, bearing a noise on deck, be
rusbe-d up and found the vessel on
her side in a siuking condition. He
seized a life buoy and jumped over
board. He had been in the water
scarcely a minute when tbe vessel
lurched brward and sank, drawing
him down such a distance that he
jare bimelf up for lost, but the life
buoy drew Liu to tbo surface.
The vessel lies with her mists vis
ible two miles off Luccombe Chine
Point, where a ravine runs down to
the sea and through wbich the wind
blows with a force against which cp
ly close-reefed vessels can stand.
Boats went out last night to search
for bodies, but none were found.

will ba made to raise the vessel.

ry Ann Jones, 7G years old, and a
helpless cripple, died here on Moo
day. To-day her sister, Phoebe At
kison, aged 73, was arrested on the
charge of murdering ber sister.
There is no room left to doubt tbat
Aunt Mary, as she was called, was
whipped to death io an atrociously
cruel manner. She had never been
married, and for many years bad liv
ed with Tboebe, w bo is a widow.
Tbe two old women occupied a little
cottage by themselves, and were sup
ported almost entirely by tbe poor
master and by tbe church to wbich
tbey belonged. Phoebe was bale
for her age, and Aunt Mary, although
two years yonnger, was barely able
to walk, having suffered a stroke of
paralysis. Tbe neighbors knew thai
Phoebe habitually used ber superior
strength in beating Mary, for tbey
often heatd Mary's cries; yet nobody
performed tbe plain duty of interfer
ing to protect tbe p.or old woman.
PLoebe seems to have steadily in
creased her brutal tyranny, aod ehe
was heard to say tbat Mary ought to
die, so as to make no more trouble.
Mary was robbed of much of ber
share of tbe charity extended to the
sisters, and had barely enough to eat
to keep her alive. Sbe was compell
ed to sleep on the bare floor, wbile
I hobe bad a bed, and in every possi
ble way the latter took advantage
cf her helplessness. Both mii;ot
Lave lived comfortably, for tbey own
ed tbe cottage and were given suf
ficient food aod clothes.
Mrs. Callahan, the sisters' next
door neighbor, went into the cottage
on Monday afternoon, having heard
not long before the noise of a furious
altercation. Sbe found Aunt Mary
dying on the kitchen floor, and evi
dences of a dreadful assault all
around. Aunt Mary was terribly
bruised. Two weapons, a heavy
stick and a large bottle, bore the
marks of the deadly use Mrs. Cal
lahan held Aunt Mary's head on her
lap during tbe few minutes tbat she
coutioued to breathe, but the victim
could not speak, to tell how sbe bad
been burt, although sbe feebly tried
to do so. Phoebe stood by, aod,
when questioned, said:
"Mary fell down; I wonder what
killed her?"
Pbcebe had retained her church
membership, and bore a good repu
tation, except amon tbe few neigh
bors who knew of ber conduct to
ward Mary. Sbe denies that she
killed her sister, or ever maltreated
he-r; but there is an abundance of ev
idence on - the latter point. It is
thought that a motive for murder
bas been found. In the cottage, hid
den carefully away, the detectives
came across $1, COO io money and
some railroad bonds. That tbe old
women bad auy means was a secret
they bad clostly kept; Pbuebe may
have killed Mary to get her share.
nr. Tlldrn'a Income Taa.
New York, March 2C Judfc'e
Blatcbford, of the Uuited States Dis
trict, Court, gave a decision to-day
in the suit of the United Stales
against ex-Governor Samuel J. Til
den to recover some $150,000 income
tax alleged to be due the Govern-
ment by tbe deiencant, i be suit, if
will be remembered, was brought in
the United Slates District Court
when Mr. Tildtnwastbe Demtcraiic
candidate for President, and, it was
alleged, was only broutrbt for politi
cal purposes. Tbe counsel for Yr.
Tilden set up a demurrer, and tbe
case was arped at ocgtb. Judge
Bla'.ohford's decision is quiie leogiby
and cites innumerable authorises,
the principal of which are tbe Uuited
Stales Supreme Court' deoisioc ia
tbo Dollar Saving Bank case and a
Rhode Island case lately decided by
the Supreme Court. H sustaius
the defendant's demurrer to tbe first
couni ia tbe complaint on tbe ground
tbat io tbe year covered by this
couut Mr. Tilden bad made a returu
qf his inponic ftad pajd thp taz on
such return. Ou the other eleven
counts in the complaint he sustains
tbe plaintiffs, tbe United States, io
their demurrer to the answer of the
defence, holding virtually tbat tbe
Hovernment was cot bound by the
action of the assessor as its agent;
that Mr. Tilden was required t)
make himself a return of his income,
which be bad not done. The case is
now to proceed to trial by a jury on
the nuesiion of the amount of the in
come of Mc Tilden during tbo years
in wbich be made no return himself
In these years Mr. Tilden allowed
the United States Assessor to make
the return, and paid tbe tax ou such
return, together wilh a penalty of 5
per pent., but this, the (jour' holds,
was not sufficient, as Hill be teen by
the decision above. It is more tL&a
probable that Mr. Tilden's counsel
will appeal the case to the I nr.ed
States Supreme Court.

amnesty for past official derelictions,
escept as to conspicious leaders w ho
misled the colored element, and paid
high tribute to President Hayes' cfty

and harmony among democrats and
predicted that the principles sustain

Maui h Chunk, Pa., March 23.
Thomas P. Fisher was bang in tbe
corridor of the jail this morning.
Fisber was tried and convicted fur
complicity in tbe murder of Morgan
Powell, a mine boss, at Summit Hill
oa tbe evening of .March 2, 1876. Ho
wis oue of the most lull tis j Ul mem
bers of the Mollie Maguire Associa
tion, and a more initliieut man than
most of bis companions. There w as
a large number of persons present,
and the execution wa conducted
without accident or mishap. Fisber
passed a restless nigbt, going to bed
very late. At an early hour this
morning Fathers Bunce, of Maucb
Chunk, and Wynne, of Summit Hill,
arrived at the prison, and were with
the prisoner until the drop fell.
At 9:30 A. M. a large crowd sur
rounded the jail, and those baviug
passes were admitted. Wben all was
in readiness the procession moved
from tbe cell to the gallows. First
came Sheriff llodeoback, then the
prisoner and priests and two police
men. Fisber walked up the steps
coolly, and after a 6bort prayer by the
priests, he read in a loud and distinct
tone part of a statement written, for
him by Mr. E Mell Boyle, of the
Coal and Iron Gazette. lie said he
was stroug enough to read the rest of
it, but would not, as it would be pub
lished. He then begged the forgive
ness cf every one, and asked all to
pray for bun. Ibe priests and at
tendants having left the scaffold, the
Sheriff adjusted the noose, steppe d
down quickly and pulled tbe rope.
At 10:54 o'clock Fisber foil four feet.
He suffered very little, bis neck be
ing diskcated. Six and a half min
utes uhvr the fall there was a slight
convulsive movement of tbe body,
aod six uiioutes later the heart ceased
to beat Tbe body was allowed -to
hang thirty-two minutes, after wbich
it was cut down aud sent to Summit
Hill io a hearse. The luneral on
Sunday will be a large one. There
was liufo excitement and nothing like
a disturbacce.
