EraaLkartiti'aifr Ma-in" SENTINEL & REPUBLICAN MIFFLINTOWN. WsS-mMdaj, February IS, MTS. F. SOHWEIER, BDITOK ASS r-aoraiSTOB.- Conciliate, Give Tiem Eopff. The prosecutions in the South, which go vigorously oo, create rest lessness in the misd of many North ern people, because they believe the cases of prasecution there, are but the skaA-ws of coming events, and indicafe the purpose to overthrow th changes made by Rebellion, and to r est tie order of things that exibted prior to 1860. Such pur pose is, however, denied. The pros ecutors declare that the men that they have taken into court, are bad men, who have done bad work, under the shield of the National govern ment, and now that the National gov ernment no longer protects them they shall be punished. It is certain that the conciliatoiy policy of Presi dent Hayes has developed the pros ecutions. If the prosecutions are indeed for the purpose of breaking up the work of bad men, and have no other object, then they are right Jf they are for the purpose of open ing the way to a general movement, through the machinery of Southern courts, etc., against all reconstruc tion measures, with the object of restoring the old order of affairs, with indemnity to the South, they are wrong, and will be resisted with a force that no man in his sober, wake ful senses, can realize. Whichever it be, the conciliatory policy of Pres ident Hayes will develope it If it be for the good, it will so develope the better disposition to show itself. If it be for the bad, it will give the bad an opportunity to show itself, so that no mistake can be made regard ing the purpose. Conciliate. Give them rope. Through mails for cities, but give people in the Juniata Valley mail on way trains. Tree are two things that are im pressed on the minds of reading peo ple. They are, first, that President Hayes and United States Senators do not agree on matters of appoint ments to office; second, that the President and certain United States j Senators do not agree on the silver question. The New York Timet comes forward with this proposal of harmony, namely, that the Senators hall do as the President wants them to do on the silver ;n-Htion, that is, vote the silver bill down, in consid eration of which the President will abandon all desires he may have, to appoint men to office whom the Sen ators do not approve of. Question Would that be giving silver for patronage ? Would it be a fair bar gain, or would it be bribery ? What would it be ? Through mails for cities, but give the people of the Juniata Valley mail on way trains. m Sksator Blaise delivered a speech in the United States Senate on tbe 7th in6t, on the silver question. He took a middle course. The 412$ grains silver dollar is too cheap for him. The dollar he advocates is one having 425 grains of standard silver. If Senator Blaine had advocated a silver dollar that shall equal a dollar in gold, he would have placed himself in accord with the people on the coin question. The people generally are favorable to silver coin, but it must not be cheapened by too much alloy. Through mails for cities, but give the people in the Juniata Valley mail on way trams.

' Eeptruiation'.- It is ftot generally known that work Bate been published that rs Ceet on the honor of Pennsylvania. The publications referred to; create the impression that dirring the finan cial distress of the years J837 to 1843 the Legislature of this Common wealth took measures to repudiate the debt of the State. With the object of correcting the wrong im pression, Representative Schell offer ed the following in the Lower House of Legislature last Friday : Whereas, Editions of the works of popular authors are frequently re printed in foreign countries as well as our own, in which it is asserted that in the crisis of the credit of Pennsylvania about the years 1839 to 1843 repudiation of the obligations of Pennsylvania are declared in acts of the Legislature ; that a refusal to pay principal or interest of her obli gations took place in obedience to these enactments on the part of tbe State authorities, and asserting other erroneous charges. This false his torical representation fills a place in much of the current history of that period misrepresenting the action of the State during a temporary de rangement of her financial affairs; therefore. Resolved, (if the Senate concur), That a special committee of two mem bers of the Senate and three mem bers of the House be appointed whose duty it shall be to prepare and report the legislative acts of that period, with a brief history of the Conduct of the State authorities un k-r such acts, if any exist to the end that the works of popular authors may no longer be quoted to asperse the good naino of Pennsylvania. In support of the resolution Mr. Schell read a letter from Mr. Mc Henry, of London, alluding to the Rev. Sydney Smith as one of those who had libeled the State. The res olution was adopted.

When waked they got up balf asleep, draged tbe cannon a few steps and then lay down with out letting go of the rope and slept on the ice as soundly as if in a warm bed.
