Thk Railroad.—TW board or directors
ofthe L. C. A. S. C. R R. met at Phila
delphia, on Wednesday of last week, for
the purpose of examining the bids and
awarding contracts. There wore some 36 j
hid*, which were handed over to chi*f en-1
gineer Lcuffer, for his examination, and to j
report as to the lowe-t and cheapest bid-.
As this requires some considerable time,
probably two or three days, we did not yet
learn who are the successful bidder*.
The board resolved to adopt the three
foot guage. It was iJso further resolved
that the work be let froia section 30 IForks*
to 56 (Oek Usil). The reason why the let
ting for the work on the mountains will not
be had, i*, cn account of the change of
gauge, the engineer thinks be can make
such alterations in tha: part ofthe line, so :
a- to int.ke It* construction much cheaper
than at present located. It will thus be
si-cn that the work is to be completed first
in the middle, thus offering our whole val- {
ley the use of the road for a western outlet, j
while the work in the mountains and west
of Mifflinburg is being put in shape for the
contractor. It was also further resolved
by the boardthatthoeurveys be completed,
and the estimates be utade ior the bslanc e I
ofthe lire through from Mifflinburg to Ty
rone.
Radical Defaulters.
The Commercial, says the Pittsburg Poet,
two days ago ui dertook to deny that va
rious Radical Internal Revenue Collector*
were defaulters to the government to the
amount of more than 539,006,000, and
claims that all the defalcations amount
only to $2,763,367. In support of the
charge we refer our colemporary to the
official report of Secretary Bout well made
to Speaker Blaine on the 13th of February
IhTl. In this report the Secretary furnish
ed "the House a statement of the balance*
•lue from Coilectors of Internal Revenue,
who are not now in office and the total
amounts of the balance so due as they ap
pear on the booksofthe accounting officers
of his Department on the 30th day of June,
1871.''
In this report, to which we refer the
Commercial, Mr. Bout well officially cer
tifies that there were then defalcations to
the amount of Twenty Millions Seven
Hundred Thousand Nine Hundred and
Eighty-three Dollars and Thirty-three
CVnts, shown by the accounting books of
the Treasury. He gave the name of each
defaulter. In the list we find twenty-nine
defaulters in Pennsylvania, charged with
nearly two million dollars. We give be
low the list:

We desire the Commercial to bear in
mind that these are the certified figures of
Mr, Boutwell, and if it wants toqarrel with
him about their accuracy, it is welcome to
do so. The point that we want to impress
is, that there has been more than $2U,000,-

administration makes no attempt to recov
er it, but increases the taxation oftheeoun
try to make up for the defalcations.

London, July 25.—The Standard of to

terrible earthquake shocks which recently
occii red in one of the Phillipinc Islands.
More (ban two hundred persons were

about libraries
As just now an electioneering hobby I
made of the Law Library, by some who
conn t rise above elep-trap and misrepre
sentation in seeking office; w% wi*h>*lmly
to toll the people of Centre gpuntv, tliat
the Library did not take ihrcercnt* out of
the people s taxes, thai its reWnilc* cote*
from sources which herotoforo addod litilo
or nothing to our county treasury, yet it i
surprising that soma people will permit of
fice Seekers to humbug them without git*
ing the subject fair investigation. Rut a*
friend Meek lays such great stress upon
his repeal of a library act which had noth
ing in it, ami about which he ha* so much
to say, let us next see how he stood upon
another library hill, which ,{,</nm. tmt to
something, and which did take a large sum
directly from the taxpayers. We now go
to this official source, Legislative flreo.'V,
page-Ml, March tilth, 1871, on the general
appropriation bill, the following section
passed, aud Mr. Meek never said "p" !

Now Mr Meek stood by, said not a word,

of our money for a library at Harruburg
where our people never have any benefit.

A special dispatch from London of the

New Nurrow cuagp Lines.
The Midland & Mackinaw is the name of
a new narrow-guage company, proposing
to build a railroad from Midland, Mich.,

Lake, and thence, eventually, due north tij

Narrow (iauire Cars.
(From the Harrisburg Patriot).
As much interest i manifested in the
"new departure' in railroads a description
of the narrow gauge passenger cars, etc.,
which passed through here a few days ago
for the Denver and Rio Grand railroad,
may not be amiss. The passenger cars are
thirtv-fivc feet in length, seven feet in
width and ten feet six inches in height. On
one side of tho aisle is a row of double seat*
1 and o.i the other a row of single seat*. The
seat* aie as comfortable and roomy as
those in use on roed* of wider gauge, and
there are seats for thirty-four passengers in
each car. The smoking cars are quite a
novelty in their way, having twoolegnntly
cushioned seats running from end to end
back to back, with others of smaller di
mensions dipo#ed about the comers. The
i finish ofthe car* insi<<e and out is elegant,
the seat* being lined with fine plush and
the panneling and other adornments are
I highly polished and artistically painted
| The centre of gravity is kept as low as that
I of any ordinary railroad ear can be by re
! during the height of the sills to twenty
! seven inches above the rails, which iseigb
| teen inches less than that on broad gauge
road*. The tracks upon which the pas
senger car* rest re contructed in the most
' substantial manner, and it only require*
an examination to prove to the most incre
dulous that these cars will be folly as safe
as any others—as little liable to unset or to
xeet with any of the accidents which are
customary on railroads. The baggage cars
attached to the trrins are models uf con ve
nience.

For the Reporter.
Democrats of Centre county, a* we have,
for the first time in the annuls of history, a
candidal^ from the Loop, let us give him
our earnest and undevised support. That
candidate is H. R. Smith, than whom a
more faithful democrat never lived. He
has been no "grunter" around the pub
lic crib, has never held a county offloe. and
we can truly say ho has been urged by
many of his friends to be a candidate. It
is seldom we get such men as he persuaded
to let their name* be brought before the
public, and as he has now consented, let us
support him. He has labored hard for the
party, is n Christian nnd a gentleman, and
it is just such men we want and tha ma
chinery of government will run smoothly
again as it once did. POTTKB.
For the Reporter.
Hon. F. Kurtz:—As Bel lefonts is entitled
to the Treasurer, "let her have him" but.
as Bellefonle thinks she 1* entitled to all
the offices in tbo gift of Centre oounty,
Pennsylvania and the United States in
general, let, us select some man who has
not been designated by the "ring" of that
hamlet, as the man to suit their own par
tisan purposes. In looking over the list of
candidates we see the name of Wm. A.
Kerlitt and where is there a prom nent
democrat in the county who duos not know
him. He has never held any office of
profit, but has a reputation for honesty and
integrity wherever he is known. Always
faithlul to the principles of democracy he
deserves our support. FoTT*B
For the Reporter.
All the candidates for Associate Judge
have held offices previously excepting Col.
Love and Cant. Cross, aiul no 4 dnucrnt
dares say thai we have any candidate in
the field more worthy of support than they.
Col. Love has worked diligently and faith
fully for the party for a number of years
and now, as he asks but this one favor why ,
not give him our earnest support?
The Col. only asks one term while there
is a clique of gormandizers who are never
satisfied but cry Cor office at) the time. The
hewers of wood and drawers of water are
not tired, and do not ask pay for their ser
vices, but, when weuskthe democratic par

On the Mutt for the Assembly.
The approach of the fall nomination and
dcction of a rcpmcnttllt*, enjoin* upon

man from the a-plriug candidal"*. A*
voter* aiul citiaen*, Wo caimot too highly
value tim importances! e**h suchelection,
a* a part of that governmental arrange
ment which secure* the complete represen
tation of our interest* and right*.
There are two theoric* of representation
usually adopted and followed by public
men. Tha first enjoin* that the represen
tative should simply legislate according to
|tha instruction* of hla constituency. This
applies to home legislation, and does not
provide for that legislation which concern*
the people of another district concerning
which a representative, for instaaoe.oflhls
county, could not well bo instructed or
authorised by his people.
The other theory accords freedom to the
representative, and enjoins that be legis
late according to bis judgement, ability
i and peculiar acquaintance with the need
nnd demands of his constituency. It may
be needles* to say that the adoption of both
I theories, as the case may require, secures
, lhe best legislation.
But the question of good representation
; may be attempted on the following query;
What elements in the represanlative will
best secure the complete representation of
the people's right* and interoats * 1 am too
well convinced of my own weakness to be
-1 lieve that I can determine a question so
grave and important. But it is under the
hope that, by my discussion of so grave a
matter, other* may compare note* and
.'pinions, that I write.
First in order, 1 conjecture that a well
grounded conviction in democracy i* an
'clement. 1 purposely use the term con
viction. It singles out the man who
; cherishes principles for their own takes.
It means a democrat who has sacrificed
-cmcibing for his faith and party. It ex-
| eludes hint who only believes in the ma
jority, holds to tho party in ib triumphs,
asks for office on account of hi* labors and
speaks of his claim*. If a man have con
victions, why need he ask for reward and
' claim an office from the people* Does a
political life mean so Utile? How weak!
Uow viod ! If so, are aot politic* a farce ?
A party, a myth? A creed, an empty
name ? Is there no better motive in human
natare to beget conviction and produce
working and thorough democrats than the
hope of office ? I underrate not the value
of work*; but I attach only an importance
to them in so far as they are the eut grouth
of principle and an evidence of sincerity.
But how life-long connection with the party
and some few year* of party labor can ley
a claim upon the party, when the aspirant
lacks other important qualifications lor the
office, 1 cannot possibly conceive. Let hi*
political labor* be the external proofs of
his democratic convictions, and then de
mand of the man for the Assembly, that
he be a progressive and Centre county
man in that sense, which would make him
i the friend of the county, and not of a sec
tion. It is too ev ideut for discussion that
the man for the Aseembly should be
thoroughly imbued with a progreesive
spirit axd a Centre county enterprise. The
former will enable him to accept the ac
complished facts of our times, and the lat
ter will more than fit him for all needful
| county legislation. Let him be a convert
jto the' New Departure," and then ask of
i the man for the Assembly, that he have
the element of A onesty. But you say, why
I tell us these old truths? Your article sounds
like an echo of the past. It is an echo of
the past—the past of Henry Clay, of John
C. Calhoun, of Daniel Webster. A repre
sentative then meant force of personal char
acter—meant integrity of principle and
hone-ty ot life end conduce I consider
honesty-strait forward honesty in our
public men, one ofthe west pressing needs
ot our times. It is gravely said that almost
every public man has his price. When
we reflect on the influence and preesute of
corporations and organised wealth, can
we doubt it? I have it from good authori
ty that, at a sitting of the legislature at
Uarrisburg last winter, a member arose in
hi* seat and moved that if Tom Schott, the
Pennsylvania rail-road operator, had no
other business for this legislature that they
■ now adjourn. I have it also from a son of
| a great Senator, that, during the impeach
ment trial of Andrew Johnson, hi* father
was offered an immense sum for his vote.
Although a digression, I can say forth*
Senator that he retired from his office a poo
rer msnthan he entered—an honor worth a
monument. Political honesty is a rare
virtue. But good repreeentation cannot
dispense with it You ask me. How are
we toknowthecanJidate's honesty? Grant
ing the difficulty of knowing the inner life
of men for public places, would it not be
well to prefer him who ha* religious con
victions, and have been known for prac
tising tbera among hi* neighbors? Are we
always to be represented by men who
electioneer by drinks? Aro the people blind
that cannot see, that they will pay daarly
for such liberality? In view ofthe corrup
tions of corporations and the aenselesa ex
penditure of money for office, I would ask,
in the words of Dr. Budington. Have we
the virtue, hare we the manhood to stand
up against corruption and misapplied
wealth, as we stood up against the embat
tled lines of rebellion ?
Let the man for the Assembly show, by
the purity of bis private life, that the peo
ple can safely and honestly commit their
interest* and trusts to his keeping, and last
ly ask for his legislative ability.
Let no man go there who doe* not thor
oughly comprehend the genius of our
government. It is needle** to say that
such a comprehension require* a knowl
edge of the constitution and history cf the
country. Nor is it less essential that he
should understand, in some measure, that
net-work system of eivil laws which keep
in harmony the transactions of a great peo
ple.
We mutt insist upon intellect and scholar
ship of a high order, s* an essential condi
tion upon the bestowal of that Important
office. Only the man of eulture*and
thought will mean any thing at Harrriiburg.
Tut a thinker there—an actor and author.
Let his eloquence con-bine with a com
plete acquaintance with the queetion* ot
his people. But let not small differences
on small questions prompt you to reject a
man of large culture, for. If he be honest
and Upright, ha will solyo oyery auostion
to your satisfaction when you understand
it.
Tome, legislation mean* practical states
manship, and statesmanship It a* much a
science as chemistry.
I am pursuaded, that if public opinion
waa fully alive to the importance of these
first principles, Old Centre would put on a
bolder front. You may say, that such a
man for the Assembly cannot he chosen.
My standard is high, it it true. But la a
ponnlr wbUh pridp* (* bag
ful churches, prosueruut Christianity, pub
lic schools and.a college a creditable bar and

for acitir.en of such sterling worth. Ifyou

Political Fiction Vcrwna Posit hr

If the news communicate*! by Sena

at the Ohio state convention, were on
lv reliable it woohl be subject of na

preseat tariff laws all departments of]
mechanical industry have sprung into
healthy life, diversifying our product*,
consuming our farm product* and ex
tending our railroad*.'
Is this a correct stabttueul of the con
dition of the industries of the country?
On the contrary, is it not Just liie
rcrem? Have not our importation*
of foreigw fabric* and merchandise in
creased enormously in excess of our
exports, choking up the channels of
consumption, to the great damage of
American manufacturers, draining (he
country of its coin, transferring our
public bonds to Europe, thereby in
creasing this drain, aud adding to the
commercial balance against us to such
an extent that alt our surplus product*
are not sufficient to pay it ? The ex
ports of our manufactories are less
than they were (en years ago, and,
though the export id raw products has
increased, it is at largely diminished
prices. Ho also has the proportion of!
the articles of a common order of la
bor increased, superseding, in tin
horns markets, gooas which in former
times we held the market Aw without
fear of competition from abroad.
Is it not notorious—and oau tba'
senator be so blind as not to know it
—that in most of our leading indus
tries there is great stagnation ? Our
foreign commerce is almost totally des
troved. Rhip building is likely to be
come one of the "lost arts" ill litis
country. The President, in his spe.-
cial message to congress on the sub
ject, estimated the amount wc hare to
pay to foreigo ships on this account at
130,000,000 a year* The ion of Mm
shipbuilding cannot be less than this'
sum, making $00,000,000 a year di- j
verted from American labor, and
from the consumption of home pro
ducts. Does not the senator also
know a large number of the leading
woollen manufacturers of the country
have united in a memorial and state
meet that they are unable, in coose
quence of the taxes upon rww materi
als, to compete with foreign niaufac
turem in any but the coarser kinds of.
fabrics ; that "leading manufacturers
of machinery have stated that the
tariff, by its burdens on labor and
materials at home, enables foreign
machine builders to lay down ma
chinery in this country cheaper than
they can,* and that "the cotton man
ufacturers complain that the tariff
makes machioery so costly that they
cannot afford to replace theirs? And
it is uotcrious that Aropfiaau map !
ufacturers of cottou have uot kept |
pace with the improvements in cotton
machinery." .
Has lie read the late memorial of
the hoot and shoe manufacturers, and:
does he think that he knows more of;
their prosperity than they do them
selves ? What opinion has ho of t|ie
late stqteuwil rjf Mr. flrpeley, that!
"there are npw a million of forkmru
in the towns in esccm qf agy reliable

farmers, who were to be directly com

Stale organ of Alabama, as telegraph
ed fVoui Montgomery, and showing
that the stories of ex-Senator Warner
and Judge Parsons regarding the con
dition of affair* in that State are abso
lutely false. Judge Hus teed covered
the whole ground. He testified tlmt
since lfifift there had been but one in
stance of resistance to a process of bis
tcourt, and that came from a Hadic-ai
Auditor of the State who had refused
to obey an injunctiou issued by the
court. There had been no di*ri-|x-ct
to tin- court or the law on the part ot !
the people, aud he was perfectly well

intended to obey all the laws of the
'United State* and interfere with no J
man on account of his politics or hi* '
religion iu Alabama, lie regarded i
life, liberty, aud property as sale us in
any New Knglaml State. He flatly i
contradicted the evidence of the ititier- '
ant preacher, l.akin, given ast week, j
that there were thirty-three indict
ment* jK'tiding in his ciurt, and added j
that he held three terms of court every j
year iu the northern, central, and 1
southern |HirtK>n of the Slate, and !
i therefore had got*l opportunities to 1
learo the true state of affair*. 1 hiring

Hewitt Legislation.
' The addition and alteration* to the
"general laws" of the Slate of IVnu
'svtvania, by the legislature, during
. the session of 1871. have come to hand
ID a pamphlet of 104 page.-, rent out
by h ram-is .1 union, esq., Secretary of
'the Commonwealth. Seventy-four re
called public acts were added to the
volume of our statue law duiiug the
session, but the rnsjur part of these
a*e either uuimpottant like act No.
48, authorising the purchase of a "fire
r | proof safe." for the prothonotary of the
r middle district, or virtually local, like
-'act No. 11, relating to the "creeks
land rivulets" of the West Branch of
(ho Misquehaiin*. The session did r.ot
pass, however, without changes in
isnrae of ibe more important laws relat
ijing to proceedings in our courts. As
'parties in pending suits are sometimes
i'surprised tv the sudden production of
these recent ami partially unkroWn
acts, whilst their cases are on trial, we
llfollow our usual course in pointing
Isoms of them out. There are at least
seven audi worthy of the attention
jof suitors, executors, guardian*, trus
■jtces, etc., and their counsel. All of
'them may lie proper enough, but as
• there have been many instances in
isrkidi ,J g*Henr gets have been |4u*cd
for the sole purjiose of effecting some
particular case, these had better be
looked into carefully. Act No. 40,
approved May 17, 1871, relates to
'residence of trustee?, guardians, exec
utor? and administrators, and makes it
' lawful Iwmifkf for them IP eaecute
their trusts, whether they be residents
' of the county where the trust is rrca
ated, or where the decedent had his
douim#! or*pot. Wifh the consent of
'of the proper court they may he resi

or limitations to the conditional lega

having interest iu "remainders.' No.
46, approved May 23, relate* to sales

orpiians' courts to authorise executors,
administrators, and guardians, in this
State to pav*over to tho guardians of
minors residing in other States lega

i No. 68, approved dune 10, authorises
trust funds to be invested in dehtofthe

Of the other acta regulating legal

which empowers the courts of the com

or hereafter to be brought, to permit

law of "replevin" in all cases "now

The Orangemen
1 lie New ork World of Wednes
day shows from tho official documents
I of the Orange I usiiiution that its mem
j ben are "expressly bound to tbc"sup-
I port of the king and constitution "ot
! the British realms." This countrr
| would not be free, however, if these
confessed foreigners were uot permitted
to hold peaceful assemblages iu iu ci
ties. \et abusing the protection gun
ratified by the government, and for
the deliberate purpose of creating riot
j and murder, the Orangemen have
j used every wanton and malicious prov
; ocution to cxasjH-rafe a portion of the
i citizen* of this country, and stir up
j sectarian rage. The citizens of the
j North would not have the had taste
i and (lie meatinc** to go down South
! and celebrate the battle of Vicksburg
j or tlie capture of New Orleans, nnd
employ the insulting devices adopted
j by these Oraugtrucn to couiiacniuratr
j a victory two hundred yrars old. The
j consequences which Would inevitably
j flow from such folly would rest on its
perpetrator*.
"1 no World continues to expose the
I nature of this tory organization which
' has been transplanted to America:
The first oath taken by members of
- tho order is an oath "to bo faithful
i ami bear true allegiance to her Maje
' IT t£uecn Victoria," after which, U*
would appear from the statement of
the "District Matter" they "further'
■ declare" that they wil'obev'thelaws,"
j not "bear allegiance to tlie constitu
tion" of tire l"mud States so loiig a*
: those law* support what they consider
civil and religious freedom. What
i their notious on these points are ap
! pears from their Solemn "Declaration"
subscribed hv Übctwodc Klislaee,
j Dcput? Grand Secretary of Great Uri
| tain, in which thev say (the italic*
still being ours:) "It is not l-s the
interest than the duty of Protestant to
| support by every lawful means the re
ligious an I civil institutions of their
j country. Our rvligim 1* menaced.
I "they continue, "by the arts of Poperv
ami th* ullack* of infidelity. Our
constitution i* as-abed fry fanaticism
and impaired by faction. Against this
j doable danger the Orange institution
\ is formed; being so named in honor of
! the successftil enterprise of King Wil
' linto HI., P rincc o( Orange, to which,
j umb r Providence, the British ode* owe
] their deliverance frum spiritual and
• political thraldroni, the confirmed •!
I tabiishmeut of the Protestant religion
! and the inheritance of the Brunswick
j throne. Vo man unlrrt hi* creed I*
| Protestant ami his principles loyal to
j the throne of Britain can associate with
j us." The declaration i further in
i u-nriticd by Rule No. 11. of the insti
i tutiou as snlemly adopted and put
! forth under the Grand Sla-tcrship of
I the Tory I/IPI Kenton, which runs:
"No person who has been or is a mem-
I ber of anv society hostile to the fun.
damcutal principles of (traiigebm, or
at variance with the constitutional
government of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain ami Ireland, its church
and state as by law established, can be
admitted to our Association."
Mr. Joseph Hume in the British
Hou*e of Common* ha* truthfnllvl
given the history of the Orangemen in
| relent]. \Yc quote hi* language from
the World: ,
"The effect of tiii*' Orange institution
i is to keop up nu exclusive association,
exciting oue |>ortion of the people
against another, to increase religious
animosity and rauror; by procceaioee
on particular days, with the insignia
of the society, to excite to breaches of
the pence and to bloodshed; to raise
up other secret societies among the
Catholic* in their own defence and for
their protectin against the insults of
the Orangemen.
This fearless advocate of oqual,
rights, fbr these aud other reasons,
advocated the suppression of the or
ganisation. Sir Robert Fool, the;
great and enlightened British states-!
man, deliberately said in his place in
parliament:
"If I were a private gentleman of;
Ireland, I declare to God that I would,
bv ray influence, by my example, by.
every mean* in my power, endeavor to
put down these associations and pro
cessions."
Their processions have l>een sup
pressed in England and Ireland, hut;
hi this country ut every rccurrancc of
the l'dth of July, they endeavor by
displaying taunting legends on their
banners, and playing insulting air--,
to provoke their (V,lndie frllow-eotin
trj men to breaches of the peace.
These are the Orangemen of New
York.
Tlie Thiefs Expedient
There amide among the Ilindoa
thut a thief, having been detected andj
condemned to die, happily hit upon an
expedient which gave nitii hope of life,
lie sent for his jailor, and told him,
that he hail a so? 1"?* ui'great Impor
tance which lie desired to impart to the.
King, and when that Imd been done,
he would lie prepared to die. Upon!
receiving this piece of intelligence the
king at once ordered the enlprjt to be!
(tbU present, and demand
ed of liliu to know his secret. The
thief replied that he knew the secret of l
causing trees to grow which |
would boar fruit of pure gold. The
experiment might be easily tried, and'
his ifiajoty would not lose the op|>or
tuulty; so, accompanied by his primei
minister, his courtiers, and his chief
priest, he went with the thief to a spot
selected near the city wall, the
latter pcyforbiod sertea of solemn jjt-|
cantntlona. Till# done, tho"rtfrVmnou.
inuu a piece of gold and de-i
eliired that if it shoud le planted it
would produco a tree cyery branch ol
which would boar gold.
"But," he added, must bo put:
the ground by a baud tliuf hnsi
never beeu staiued by a disbqueat.net.
My hand i* not clean, therefore I pus
it to your majestv."
The King took the piece of gold ;j
