IKTrSDDBLEN, TUESDAY JUNE 3, 1845.
To Cottettsrottossiti.—We are deluged with
communications relative to the Report on the Divirl
butiee uF the . Relief Furd. "Observer" will be pub
lished in our paper to nwttviw. We have already
pibliabrd to much on this subject that we will only
give place to such articles as seem to have decided
merit, and the qualities of brevity and force.
larWe do sot think that our publishing the toll
de from the Gazette, misrepresenting the Rolling Mill
woritasm, would make the public any wiser, orfreve
that the bands are DOI as well entitled, and the employ
ee. as well aide to pay adequate wages now as they
were befotetbe passage of the Tariff of 1842.
Oefiatutday we gave a plain statementof what the
handsdemanded,and as the editors, or the employer
who prepared the article for the Gasette,has not under
taken to Om, that that statement was untrue, or the
doomed unjust, we ate satisfied to leave the matter to
the judgment of the public.
The effort of the editor to prove, by showing what
flatlands have saved, that they should not receive their
foram wages, is rather a singular doctrine to preach
dieworking commonity. Most iwople believe that
in a lifetime of hard toil, it is hot wonderful if an in-'
&ravines man should be able to save a little from his
eastings, and but few will admit that this evklenee of
Ms economy, is a sufficient reason to deprive him of an
ample reward fur his labor.. Public sentiment in
this country has not arrived at that pitch of refinement
which would deny workmen the right to own a house
•if they can get it by honest industry, no more than it
would deny their employer the right to own a palace
realised from the profitable investment of his capital
is the skill and labor of the operatives. This state of
leolliiies not yet established in our manufacturing com
mookr,—bot from the reasoning of the Gazette, we
woetlthiek it inferable that. theta are some among us
who-would like to see it.
Verplites the parts in a "stmng light" the Gazette
-gives the following statement which may be very plain
. titibeelo who prepared it, but which, we think, will
spisser-wessawhat obscure to those who do act under
stand ite . system of "cyphering."

(C Ibe genius who writes under the signature of
"Junius," in the American, says he iv "neither a mem
bee of the committee nor one who desires to reedy*
a loan from the fund," nor has he any "interest in the
distribution whatever." He'll excuse us far saying
that we dont believe him, notwithstanding'his denial.
Judging the writer from his ribald communication,
we believe him to be one of the very men who would
defraud the real sufferer, by putting them off with
some cold victuals and old clothes, while he would
distribute the money conti ibuted for their relief, among
the wealthy, whose "feelings of honest pride" prompt
Iberia to try and get it by way of a loan.
SantTots McDurrte.—We are pained to learn,
says the Washington Constitution. that Senator Mc-
Buffos has been stricken down by paralysis. By this
visitation be has been deprived of speech and of mo
.tion, and the powers of a mind amongst the most
brilliant and solid that has ever graced our public
councils, are prostrated and almost destroyed. It
would be some solace if there was the least reason to
hope that he could recover from this extreme prostra
tion, but all who have witnessed the complete wreck
of the physical man, and the shattered condition of
Ibis nervous energies, within the but few years, will at
once deem this almost impossible.
MAYOII H•vsueraa of New York, has created a
strong feeling against himself by nominating a Mr
Robert Taylor, a violent ••Native," as chief of the
Police under the new law. The Beard of Aldermen
confirmed the appointment, but the Assistants knocked
it' into a cocked hat" when it came before them.
Ma. Vats Ness, the present Collector in New
York, is making strong efforts to retain his office, and

That has patronage to bestow and know no political
principle but that of the loaves and fishes. We fear
that for the next four years his systems of patriotism
will sot be very popular at Washington, and that be ,
like soma of our Pennsylvania trimmers, will have to
give up their comfortable berths for men more de
serving.
Lir We are glad to learn that Pleasant Under
wood, a colored preacher, who committed a most in
famous crime in Stark county, Ohio, about two years
ago, and escaped from the officers, was arrested in
Windsor, Canada, a few days ago.
EARST HARTIFSTIRCI.-A gentleman who is en ex
tensive planter, residing a few miles iron Edenton, N.
C., commenced cutting his wheat un Thursday, the
29d of May, being some three weeks earlier Limn the
usual time of harvesting. We are net informed (says
the Edenton Journal) whether this gentleman's crop is
fair one or nor, but we do know dint the wheat crop
generally, In this country at least, hes been generally
injured try the ‘told and thy weather; and perhaps this
stay account for its ripening so soon.
Larne breaking &two of the stand at the Cam.

A Cass or 1/1111Avim,- - Davici Ball, a Boston
fireman, was arraigned fur an assault on W C Holmes,
another fireman. Ball, it appeared, was the first man
at the Engine House, after the alarm of fire, and was
therefureentitled to this tongue of the engine. that be
ing the post of honor, to be takes, by the firemen first
"on band." Holmes tried to drke Bull from the
tongue, because be had no badge. Bail, however,
held on to his place, and Holmes abused him very
grossly, calling him among other names, a "drunken
puppy,"—wboetenium Ball assaulted Holmes and used
him pretty roughly. The judge said the assault had
been proved. and not exactly justified. He thought i t
was a technical assault merely, and so be flossed a
light sentence—ten cents fine and costs. The report
does not tell us what became of the burning houses
while this by-play was going on.
A Dula., Pr.rtmars.—The Louisville Journal says
that when the steamer Diana passed Vicksburg on
Sunday week, several hundred persons were collected
on what is called "The Point," to see a duel between
a couple of young men, cue of whom was a Mr Cali
borne, a young lawyer, of Vicksburg, and the other a
chap from New York. It was thought to be rather
uncertain whether the affair would come off. The dif
ficulty was about a girl.

the moat winked and the lowest persons in the town
went into a man's house, by the name of Willey, and
seized him in bed, and after a desparate struggle car
ried him about a quarter of a mile, and then poured
tar ell over him, and afterwards insulted him in a most
outrageous manner.
THIS LARGEST LETTER IN THE WORE D.-Mr. John
R. Peters, jun., who accompanied the American Em
bassy to China, artived at New York a day or two
since in the ship Bazaar, and informs the editors of
the Commercial Advertiser, that the Emporer cf the
Celestial dominions has written a letter, in the Chi
nese and Manchou languages, to the President of the
United States, which is 6 feet long by 3 feet wide'
Mr Peters saw the letter. It is written on yellow pa.
per enclosed in a yellow silk case, and is now in the
hands of Dr Parker for translation. It is expected
thatit will be forwarded to Mr Polk by the next ship.
Mr. P. has brought with him the largest collection of
Chinese curiosities ever brought to thdicountry.
MEXICAN INDEMNITY
We learn front the Journal of Commerce that the
Mexican claiments have appealed to the President for
the payment of the instalments provided for under the
general appropriation Art of last session, nr to state
his masons for withholding payment. Our unfortu
nate and extraordinary envoy Goy. Shannon wrote to
this Government on the 21st September that the in
stalment had been paid on the 20th August preceding.
Gov. Shannon and the United States agent for receiv
ing the money lived in the same house. To this day
this statement of Gov. Shannon remains uncontradict
ed, except by an unofficial letter of Mr. B. Green.
'lt is impossible to believe,' says the Journal's corres
pondent, "that Gov. Shannon is kept in Mexico, at
nine thousand dollars a year, after his diplomatic
communication with the Government of Mexico has
been cut off, in order to send home false information.
The United States Senate thought it proper, upon the I
facts as presented to them, to direct the payment of
the money, absolutely and unconditionally, pet sensing
that the money had been paid by the Mexican Govern
meet as Mr. Shannon had stated, and inferring that
it bad been embezzled by the Agent of the United
States. The House rejected the amendment and the
' Senate adhered. In the comptornise that ensued, Mr.
Benton declared that be would hazard the loss of the
wbole eppropriaticn bill on this ptovsion.
at the suggestiun of Mr. Cave Johnson, the proviso
was added that the money should be paid in case it
should appear that the money was embezzled by nn
Agent of the United Stated and the amendment a
greed to. But it appears that the Senate might as
well have let the matter atone. Tho Government
wont act, and Go?. Shannon will give no information.
Letter Balances.—ln t h e course of the examination
of these balances, by the committee appointed by the
Postmaster General. a loose label card, belonging to
Livingstm,Rogers & Co., (who presented two sam
ples of iron trip-scales) was attached through accident.
by one of the committee, to a sample of i roe trip-scales
presented by Arthur, & Nicholson. The committee
bad no reference to the names of the manufacturers;
but considered the three samples here adverted to as
having been offered by the same person; and in repott
ing No 96, as the second best of she trip-scales present
ed, had reference to the principle of construction and
merits of these samples. It is now stated. in answer
to a complaint of Messrs. Arthurs & Nicholson, of
Pittaborgh Pe., as due to them and to truth, that the
sample No. 96, was presented by them.
FUN AT MIDNIGHT
The jays of wedded life have never been %•liven
out. One of the most delighful incidents in the life
of a Benedict occurs at midnight, when he is tensed
from his slumber by his wife, who strikes two or three
well-directed hlows upon his breast, with her elbows.
"Wife, what's the matter?"
The lady has drawn her head underneath the blan
kets. and is shaking like a disturbed quart of calf's
font jelly. She says, in a smothered, tremulous voice:
"Oh! Thomas (or John, or James) I hear a noise in
the hall, and there is certainly some body in the
house."
"Nonsense, yon ate mistaken."
"There it is again. You can hear them we lk in tbe
parlor. They're robbing the house. I told you the
new servant was a suspicious person."
The husband has, by the time the last speech is de-
livered, raised himself "bolt upright" in the bed; pull
ed off his night cap and pricked his ears to catch the
slightest sound. After Le shivers Gv e minutes or so,
the wife says—
" There now, I heard a glass break. Oh, we shall
be murdered. Do get your pistols, Thomas."
The husband is now already alarmed, and get out
of bed. He gropes around carefully, but notwithstan
ding his caution, fall over a chair, pitches into a wash
stand and alleles among the watery fragments of the
basin. The ledy shrieks end asks her husband if the
robbers are in the room. Getting no answer but a
prolonged "cuss it," she dashes to the window and
cries murder. The husband endeavors to stop her, but
the steam is too high for the safety-valve. The neigh
bors are alarmed, and disturbed faces are numerous.
The watchman bears murder cried, and. at the earnest
entreaty of the lady, breaks the lock of the front door
and rushes in. Several neighbors follow him with
lights, and of a sudden the whole picture is illumined.
The poor husband has cot himself upon the fragments
of the basin, and the room is covered with blood.
The wife espleins the cause of their alarm and di
lemma, and of course the watchman is obliged to go
off. This official neverthi mks any more of the matter,but
the neighbors never forget it. The poor husbaod gets the
name ofabl ackgnerti and a vile brute, and a at ory goes a
bout that he was caught beating his wife in a dark room,
at midnight with chairs and a wash bruin, she being
to kind to tell the truth.
After binding up his wounds, the couple go to bed,
and awake in the utoroing supteutely wretched.

legislature therefore made other provisions, directing
the issuing of chicks for any deficiency that might be
found to exist. Under these circumstances it will be
gratifying to the community to learn from the sitsbjein
ed circular, issued to the County Commistikesers of the
respective counties, that the State Teetotaler is deter
mined to make every exertion in his power to provide
means for the full payment of the interest, when it shall
fitll doe. without resorting to the expedient authorized
by the legislature, and which many consider of doubt
ful constitutionality. To effect this desirable object,
he urges the collection and payment of in xes under the
42d section of the set of the 29th April. 1844, which
provides "that if any county shall pay into the Butte
Treasury, its quota of tax levied on its adjusted value
lion, fifteen days prior to the . first day of August in any'
year, such county shall be entitled to an abatement of
five per cent., on the amount so paid" —and that no
inducement may be wanting, places the most liberal
construction upon the act. The great advantage of
this course neer that of issuing checks, even were there
no constitutional objection, must be at once apparent, i
and the praiseworthy efforts of Mr Snowden, to main
tain the credit and honor of the commonwealth, can
not fail to be appreciated. The abatement of 5 per
cent., upon the amount of tax paid into the Treasury,
must prove to many counties having the ability, a pow
erful inducement to comply with the provisions refer
red tn, rind a desire to promote the prosperity of the
State will no doubt stimulate others. We are glad to
perceive that the subject has already been brought to
the attention of the County Board, by Mr. Gibbons,
and while the act of 1842 would seem direcly to pro
hibit the carrying out of his proposition to effect a loan
to the amount of our quota of Stale tax, yet we trust
that some other measure equally effective may be a
dopted to anticipate the regular collections; and if the
County Commissioners in the several counties, in con
sideration of the abatement, would make a similar de•
duetion, it would greatly facilitate the desired object.
The full quota of State tax for the county of Phila
delphia is $367,516 11, which will realize after de
ducting the usual commissions, and the allowance for
such amount as it may be impracticable to collect,
somewhere about $315.000; and could the regular
collections be anticipated, and this sum be paced
in the Treasury in time to entitle us to the deduction
of five per cent., it would be a saving to the country
of from twelve to fifteen thousand dollars, which would
pay nearly half the July interest on our county loans.
If the efforts of the State Treasurer are properly
seconded by our own county and the wealthy counties
of the interim; as we trust they will be, the payment
of our interest will be placed beyond contingency.
STATE TTEASURT 01TICE,
Harrisburg. May 24, 1895.
The importance of making a vigorous and energet
ic effort to continue the paymbot of the interest due in
August, and thus maintain the credit and honor of our
Commonwealth, induces me to call your particular at
tention to the 92d section of the act of the 29th Apt
1844. A compliance with the provisions of the act
referred to, will save to your county five per cent. of
your taxes, and you will have the satisfaction of aid
ing the commonwealth at this important crisis.
In order to secure so desirable a result, so far as
my tight extends, i will give the act a construction as
liberal and beneficial as it will permit.. The quota of
the c9unty will be received, exclusive of the amount of
unseated land tax, inasmuch as it does not come with
in the spirit and meaning of the act, because its col
lection can only be enforced every second year, and an
allowance will be made for such amount as may be as
certained to be impracticable to collect. This may
be estimated when the payment is made, and the ex
act amount ascertained when the duplicates are fully
settled. Yon will thus perceive that the payment pre
vious to the first of August, as provided in the act.
will be greatly advantageous to your county. and
ought to be made although you should appropriate
your county funds for that purpose. The propriety of
the measure, its utility and economy, are greatly in
creased by a consideration of other portions of the law
referred to, which compels the payment of interest
by each county. You will avoid this, and you will es
cape the perplexity and labor of an interest account,
which you will be requited to keep.
These considerations, and others which I might
urge, but which the limits of this circular prevent me
from presenting, it is earnestly hoped, will induce a
strong and united effort, on the part of each conmy in
the Commonwealth, to maintain our public engage
ments and secure the State from the humiliating at
titude of a non paying State. We paid our interest
in February, and we can do so in August and Februa
ry next, if active and prompt measures are adopted in
the several counties of the Commonwealth; end in
case that can be accomplished. our credit is placed on
a sure basis, and the nature of our securities can be
changed so us to relieve the Commonwealth from one
to two fifths of her present rate of interest.
The assessments for this year amounts to $1,299,962
61. The nett tolls from the meals and railroads last
year, were $635,572 97. It is believed that this year
will at least equal the last, end it will thus be seen
that these two items are sufficient to pay the interest s
or nearly so. The amount due from former assess
ments, and the ordinary revenues, will be sufficient to
pay the ordinary expenses of government.
I present this brief view at this time, to show that
there is no ground for despondency and gloom: but,
on the contrary, the highest inducement to be active,
vigilant and faithful. These will lead to the happiest
results.
I would be pleased to hear from yon, as I will bede
sirous of knowing what action you intend to take on
this communication, and be happy to receive any sug
gestions which may occur to you in relation to this
subject.
Very respectfully,
Your ob't servant,
JAMES R. SNOWDEN, State Treasurer
Skips ix tke Air.—lt is stated that there is now
living at the Mauritius, a man endowed with such re
markable power of sight that he perceives vessels sev
eral hundred miles at sea. He is pensioned by the
British government, and every morning reports to the
government house what vessels are in the offing, and
when they are to be expected, and it is remarkable that
be was never known to fail. When the first steamer
was sent from England to the East, he saw her at the
distance of some hundred miles, but was surprised at
obseßing she bad four masts, one of them smoking!
When he reported this strange appearance (no steamer
being expected, or known to be on its way) it was sup
posed he had lost his ordinary power of vision, but
the result verified his story.—Excirnage paper.
Ter. Msnextous.—We copy the following para

-Professor Bronson stated in his concluding lecture
last week, that if a drop of human blood be subjected
to examination by the oillydrogen microscope, and
magnified some twenty millions of times, all the ape.

existed daring the different stages of creation for mil
lions of years past, will there be discovered. In the
blood of a healthy person, all the enimelculm are qui•

they are furious, raging and preying upon each other.
This he stated in illustration of bis position that man
contains within himself all the principles of the uni
verse, It was also asserted that if a dead cat be
thrown into a pool of stagnant water,
and allowed to
dissolve there, a drop of water taken from any part of
the pool and examined as above, will show every spe
