The Commission proceeded to tbe
rir,nideraiion ol tbe case of Louisiana.
How it will be declare ia not foreshadow
ed at this writing, Tuesday evening.
The wen who oppose a peaceable set
tlement are not the men for tbe future,
no matter what the result may be.
It doea not sound well for men wbo
protested to be satisfied with tbe Com
mission to pett'e the dispute in the
electoral vote of Florida, Louisiana and
Orf!n, to now denounce tbe Commis
sion because it bas cot decided as they
rUsired tbem to do in the case of
Florida.
A Time to Consider an Amend
ment to the Constitution.
To l"ek tbo stable door after the
horse is stolen, and to put off all
thoughts of tbe future until one is laid
on a sick bed these are commonly
cite. ss evidences of human folly. And
yet it i never too late to mend and
siuend while life lasts. Better begin
early and eominue constant in well
doing, of course; but their is no good
re4jo why a man should refuse to
tbit'k of the fu'ure because be is sick.
His thinking may partake of tbe dis
temper which ha; prostrated bis body,
but ttat does uot always follow. Ad
Tersity sometimes clears tbe mental and
spiritual vision. Some of tbe gross
est 13 purged away, and there are com
uiouly some remnants of hope left whieh
buoy np the foul in tbe direst emer
gency. As it is witb tbe individual.
so it is witn the tody politic, which is
now learning some of tbe uses of adver
sity, and it is a good time to consider
It will nit, we think, be denied
that the nation is now pissing through
crisis of an extraordinary character.
If we admit that tbe country bas, by
wast unv be named common consent.
t-cpted the plan of a new tribunal for
c:erm:nin? the result of the Presi
in!i-. election, it is q'lite as clear to
tiie observing ;!at its acceptance of this
pias ih as a last resort, to tide tbe na
tw.n over certain uncharted shoals upon
wmcb tee ship seemed driving.
There ought not to be a possibility
nf tbo appointment of a President in
any manner not clearly prescribed in
tbe orgnoic law, tbe Constitution. That
prescription is by some deemed not
eiear at present. Therefore let it be
tbe immediate care of tbe people to
aend it and make it altogether and un
deniably clear henceforth. What has
happened once Day happen again. Tbe
suraiherabip of tbe Electoral Colleges
r. ay be qneiticn four years bene as
weil as now. lleooe it is tbe duty of
the people to provide for a tribunal of
last rc?ort the people baving failed
to whom tbe right aud the (!uty of going
t-ehind the returns and making a thor
ough investigation shall be assigned.
V n'ske no suggestions touching tbe
o-'-,d of constituting that tribunal, save
cuiy that no man holding a position ot
trusi or profit under tbe United States
should sit therein. And it may be well
to lake away from the House its privi
lege to elect in case of uo choice by tbe
people. American.
The Letters of the Bible,
" Souse one wbo bas plenty of leisure
hat counted the letters of the Bible,
and (tads that in the sixty-six books, of
which the sabred volume is composed,
ti,-.- tre 3,5S-3,483 letters. Tbe longest
Teisc is the ninth verse of the eighth
ctpter of John, and the shortest, J oho
xi: 35 The centre verse is Psalms
cxviii:S. These facts are important
to the curiosity monger, but are of no
furLer value. He reads Bible to very
htile purpose who learns only such
.things."
The Mennonite Church on Voting.
At the Geueral Conference of tbe
Mernoni'e Church, recently held at
E khirt, Ind., it was resolved that all
tnembitrs of tbe church wbo bad voted
at the iate Presidential election should
be admonished, aud that every minis
ter should tiy to induce) bis members
to abstain from voting."
Snall-Por on the Increase.
In Great Britain, during tbe past
ten years, the death-rate ot small pox

before tLere is occasion to note a
similar lucres' on this aide of the

The Next State Treasurer.
Colonel William B. lJart,"tje eour
teous sDd tfioieBt casLrer of tbe State
Treasury, it prominently named1 hi
connection witb the Republican nom
ination of State Treasurer, to succeed
lion. Henry Itae.'e. The hearty and
gei.ers.1 approval witb whtb his name
in received throughout tbe whole State
ia a just tribute to a biave soldier acd
worthy official, whose career io tbe ar
my was as brilliant as his vertices as a
State officer hive been marked by a
faithful regard for tbe public io'eresis.
Col. Hart entered tbe army in 1801 as
a private soldier and served with
irreat gallantry in the East aud W est,
participating in all the battles iu which
uis command was engaged.
While still sergeant, bis manly
qualities and soldierly bearing, attract
ed tbe attention of General clartraoft
who recommended bitu in a highly
flattering manner to lion. Edwin M
Sianton, Secretary of War, lor ap
pointment as Assistant Adjutant Adju
fant General, with the rark oft aptain,
and to show LU appreciation of bis
merits requested the War Department
to a&xign Captain Hart to his own bri
gade, ("pori this recommendation he
wa immediately appointed and served
witb General Hsrtranft to the close of
the war. In 1867 Colonel Hart was
appointed to a eltrki-hip io the State
Tieesury, and in 1870 was promoted
to tbe ref-poiisible aud important pos
ition of cashier, where his intelligence
sud ability a an accountant and famil
iarity with finances of the State have
made Liiu an invaluble ffioer, and tbe
standard authority to whom all the
officers of the Couruon wealth turn for
eouucil when legislation in the interests
of the Stat Treasury is needed.
Col. Hart's intimate and through
knowledge of the tax laws aud of tbe
whole mauohiitry of our tax system, is
of inestimable value to our citixens. and
if electe I State Treasurer cannot but
prove of incalculable benefit to the
ommonwealtb. His promotion by
election to the treasurership would be
a fitting testimonial nf our people to bis
value aud worth and a practical illus
tration of their belief in a civil -service.
Officers witb bis capacity and integ
rity are rarely imported into the public
service, and when found there the pe
pie should see to it that they are re
tained. Col. Hart's position at Harrisburg
bas necessarily given bim a large ae
quaintance and made bioi hosts of
friends, and the generous response made
to the mention nf his name in connec
tion with the office of Treasurer is an
index of the enthusiasm with which be
will be supported for nomination and
election. JVorrtslown Herald.
Be Careful Where You Go and
Who You Go With.
The three lecherous conspirators,"
(as the Baltimore American calls tbem)
vho recently tried to rmn a young lady
of that city by deco) ing her into a bouse
ot ill fame aud then assault og her
when there, have been convicted, and
eaeh sentenced to one year's imprison
metit. This seems to be a very light
punishment for so aggravated an ( ff.-nce
as that charged against tbe prisoners.
But in passing senten .e the judge said
that although the main charge, that the
youne lad? had been decoyed into a
house of ill fame, bad been proved, the
charge ot aggravated assault rested
alone on the evidtuce of the prosecu
trix, and as her couduct had not been
above reproach, he would not make the
sentence as severe as it would other
wise have been.
Tbe young lady, the victim of tbe
assault, was anxious to get married, it
seems, and tbe conspirators decoyed
her info tbe bouse on the pretense tbat
they wished to introduce ber to a ship
captaio who wit-bed to get a wife. At
least one of the parties to the conspir
acy was kuown to tbe young woman and
her father as a former proprietor of a
house of bad repute, and as a person
whose society, if only for a walk for a
walk on the street, was sufficient to
blast the reputation of any woman.
Notwithstanding these well knowu facts,
tbe candidate for a husband accompan
ied him, with the result as previously
announced. This occurrence consti
tutes an additional proof of the impor
tance of great care in the selection of
associates, and absolutely correct de
portment on the part of ioexperieoced
girls and women. Harrisburg Tele
