SENTINEL & REPUBLICAN MIFFLINTOWN. VTedneMdar, Jane 22, MSt. B. F. SCHWEIER, f nrroa asd raorairroa. Ths sew Conntitution for this State is a most objectionable docu ment in a number of point. Among the provisions of the fundamental document is one providing for the establishing of a court for every forty thousand people. The late Legisla ture paused a judicial apportionment bill ; they created nine additional judges, and put counties that do not join together in districts. There was sJwost a general complaint against the creation of more courts, and the bill for the erection of so many new judges has drawn the attention of the people of the State more than ever before to the defects of the new Con stitution. The bill creating the new courts was drawn so openly that it can be driven through "with a coach and four in hand." When it passed into the hands of Governor Hoyt he could not 6ign it ; he promptly vetoed ft, showing its unconstitutionality ; that a number of the new districts do sot have a population of forty thou sand people. The Governor's course has made him friends ; his acts have demonstrated that his aims and pur poses are correct, and for the public gooX Ir the Administration of President Garfield were in disfavor among the Republican people, then there would not be the least trouble in an honest and able man like Cockling v.ia iiiiig the verdict of the people in fa vor of Senatorial courtesy." As the case now stands, everything is in favor of the Administration. Conk ling has no offices to bestow. The bestowal of office will win men over to any cause. It does not affect the principle of liberty to say that liberty in this country could be subverted if some one had plenty of offices to bestow. People love office too much for the good of the general welfare. It is so in the church as well as in the State. There may be no schiism in a congregation, or dispute on doctrinal points, but an ambition to create a new preach ing place to provide for another set of leaders in the church may divide a congregation. The division Beldoin ever fails of its object if they create a sufficient cumber of offices. The old congregation, having no offices to deal out, is caught at a disadvan tage, while the new is working under the inspiration of new office and new management There is no schism between the New Xork Senators and the President ; they are all firm be lievers in the doctrines of the Re publican party. The Senators are at a disadvantage ; they have no offices to bestow, while the Administration has the full power of bestowing of fice upon itw advocates and friends. On that point Coukling may be ex pected to grow weaker every day, and the Administration correspond ingly stronger, for the savory smell of the flesh-pot is wafted into the nostrils of those that want office. It is true that some of the ablest civil ians in the country have given Conk ling the weight of their moral sup port, and General Grant, the first and greatest soldier of his day, has spoken in his favor ; but their recom mendations are like the voice upon the desert air. If they had a multi tude of offices to bestow, it would be different Again, the case, as it stands, is in favor of the Adminis tration in this, that the Senators set themselves directly across the path of the President, but Coukling and Piatt were not the only Senators that did that ; the majority of the caucus of Republican Senators ruled that way; all, however, abandon ed that position, excepting Conk ling and Piatt, and they appealed to the Legislature of their State for vindication. If there had been doubt of Garfield's or Blaine's Republican ism, the Legislature of New York would doubtless have speedily sent the Senators back to the United States Senate ; but such was not the case. The President being as thor ough a Republican as Conkling, and having the advantage of official pat ronage to bestow upon the expectant crowd, and having the constitutional right of nominating to office. Conk ling would hare been a very Hercules to have borne up against such odds. Should he succeed, in the face of the odds that are against him, he will be the ablest politician and statesman that this country has produced. It is an outrage for the people of this generation to build up a large public debt for the boys of the com ing generation to pay. It is an out rage to create bonded indebtedness that will tax the energy, the patience and honesty of the three generations to come ; and that is just what is be ing done by the present generation in many towns and counties. With a taxation imposed to meet the obli gations that were incurred by the fathers the children will not look back to their ancestors with pleasant feelings. After realizing that the taxation is but another name for the j confiscation of their earnings, they niav turn and repudiate the debt that was imposed upon them by preceding generations. ho will be responsi' ble for the dishonesty that such a course of action teaches T It will be the legitimate result of the inordinate greed of the fathers visited upon the third and fourth generations. Now that, there is a law to punish cheating and fraud at tha primary elections in this Commonwealth, it lehooveH politicians to do that which is honest when dealing with their fellow-candidates, for the defrauded candidate may obtain redress, if he desires, by an action in court Read the law as published in another col umn.

I n,s.,...m f 1 J : j : i - iiMimvt iniiv i The contest at Albany, N. T., for United States Senate has developed a charge of bribery. It is charged that the anti Coukling msu are uning money.- Some of the people opera ting against Conkling are noted lob byists, and the scruples of lobbyists as to the paying and receiving of money are so well known to tne read ing public that it is not worth while to more than refer to them. There is an investigation in progress as to the chargej above mentioned. One of the witnesses on the stand is a Mr. Sessions. He has practiced exten sively in putting bills through the Legislature in New Yoik State. Ses sions is one of the active workers against Conkling. He was on the witness 6tand before the investiga ting committee. He gave his expe rience in getting a bridge scheme through the Legislature. He is far too suspicious to ever rank among the saints, and what be said about the bridge case reveals his suspicion of the honesty of other people. He was to nave one thousand dollars lor his work in helping the bridge bill through. A check for that amount was given him, drawn on a lroy bank. He agreed not to present the che'5c till the next day after he re ceived it Sessions had so little, faith in the men he was dealing with that he determined to go to Troy and get the money. He thought it likely that by the next day payment on the check would be stopped. He did not trust to take the cars; he thought that a watch had been put on his movements; fo he ignored the cars and obtained a horse and rode to Troy, and got the money on the check before payment on it could be stopped. Such are the men that are engineering the anti-Conkling movement It is not claimed that the Conkling men are the embodiment of perfection itself. The perfect peo ple, it was claimed, Itelong to Conk ling's opponents, and now it turns out that their champions are men of the Se6oions clasa The social world thnt is embraced within the circle of Cheyenne, Wy oming, has been shaken from center to circumference, over the marriage of Lee Chin a Chinaman and a white woman. The misfortune aliout the whole affair is, that everybody there is displeased excepting Sir. and Mrs. Lee Chin. Perhaps, after all. that is the very fortune of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Chin, for all the persons needed to constitute a perfect matri monial world are two persons ; all lovers before marriage believe that The Chinamen say that the bride groom has disgraced himself by marrying a white woman, and the white people say that the bride has disgraced herself by marrying a Chinaman. There seems to be noth ing in the question, among that people that they can agree upon, excepting that both parties have dis graced themselves. To wipe out the stain the case was carried into court and an effort was made to break the marriage relationship. The ca6e failed ; the court held tliat it had no power to dissolve the marriage re lationship so long as the parties do not violate the marriage laws. Mr. and Mrs. Lee Chin will have to live in a world by themselves, for the Chinamen vow that Lee Chin can never be allowed to associate with them, and the white people say the same of the bride. Thk reader has a distinct recollec tion of hearing how that the Czar of Russia was murdered by some fiend in human form exploding a glass ball about his feet The common name of the murderous organization that have been exploding infernal ma chines iu the old country are called Nihilists. Three Nihilists put in an appearance in Wilkesbarre, this State, on Tuesday, the 14th inst, " and en tering a saloon kept by a Russian named Majeski, iu Hazleton, said they wanted to show him how the Czar was blown up. In order to illustrate this they produced three glass balls filled with dynamite. One of these they threw at a wheel-barrow, when the ball exploded and the wheel-barrow was blown to pieces. The men were arrested for malicious mischief and fined by a justice of the peace. Their presence in the coal regions is excting a good deal of comment" The New Hampshire Legislature has failed to elect a United States Senator. The Legislature does not convene again till in June, 1SS3. There will, consequently be a vacan cy from that State from next March till in 1883. That will give the Dem ocracy a majority in the United States Senate, even if New York State does ro-elect two Republican Senators. "The Democrats of South Caro lina seem to stuff the ballot-boxes from force of habit At the election held in the Charleston district on the 9th for member of Congress, no Re publicans voted.

Near Setm-Star Taveen, 1 June 18, 1881. J Mu Dear Mr. Editor: It is now midnight and I am jnst in from the Stars. You know this is the niglit of the conjunction of the big stars, that is, the planets, and to-morrow Sunday is to be the end of the world ; that is, certain so called wise men have said bo. I hope this will prove a blessed Saturday night for you if it is the last one. How little the beaux that sit in conjunction with their lasses to-night know what is going on overhead. They don't know tliat the big stars of the solar system move up into a straight line with the sun. tonight That is 60. If you don't know what the big stars the planets are called, get down to the books and learn their names. To night and to-morrow the big -btrs will be in drees parade ; the most of them will be in a straight hue with each pther, with the sun not quite in the middle of the line, but a httle off toward the one end of the line. If there isn't a big disturbance to-morrow in the air ; if there isn't any amount of big storms to-morrow, I don't want to be told again by the astronomers and other people that want to know so much about the stars in the sky, that when the earth gets out on a dress parade with the sun and other big bodies in the sky there must of necessity be a big dis turbance about it The fact is, I don't believe that a disturbance will take place. You know what a great Andy Jackson fellow I am, but I wasn't with Old Hickory in all of his notions, 'not much." I loved Old Hickory because he was a conscien tious man, because he stuck to his convictions. If he wasn't learned in some things, that goes for nothing ; that dkl not affect his honesty ; that did not affect his lonscientiousness, or his manhood. Book learning is one thing and natural manhood is another. If you will give me my choice, of a man with lots of book learning and no manhood, or a man with manhood and no learning, I will take the man with the manhood. Old Hickory was all manhood ; he knew some law, the acts of the Leg islature of his Str.;-, but he had ht tle other book learning. He didn't belie re in the roundness of the earth ; he believed that the earth rested on a stone-pile, or something else; and there are a good many people down here that believe the same thing. There are a good many Andy Jack son people down here on that point They don't take much stock in the star conjunction business. Of course they all believe in conjuncting at the the Seven Stars. It is a conjuncting place ; we often get into line there. The conjunction of the big stars in the sky did not concern the crowd at the Seven Stars last night A school teacher had been that way, tLat is by the Stars, to-day, and told some one about how there ist row down at Millersville, Lancaster county, in the Normal School on the question of the conjunction of men and wo men. He 6oid that the bosses of that school will not allow the boys and girls to move in conjunction : they shall not move iu line with each other on the pavement on the school grounds, anywhere. They may not stop to talk with each other anywhere on the pavement or the street He told that a father may not stop to talk with a daughter on the pavement or any place about the grounds ; if he wants to see and speak to his daughter he must meet her in the parlor of the Normal School. He told the folks how that a couple of bloods concluded to kick the rules into a cocked hat, and stop and talk with the ladies on the pavement or any other place, when it suits both parties. The bosses would not stand that kind of kicking against the rules, and they sent the young men away from the school. He said that wheu the boys heard that, thry rebelled that is, about one hundred and fifty re1elled in a kind of a way. They hired a bra.9 band, and formed in line, put the band anu the boys that had been kicked out of the school for disre garding its rules, at the head of tnp line and inarched them to cars and saw them off. The school teacher told all that here at the Stars, and as there was a man and a woman in it the subject took right well, and we fell to talking about having men and women educated at one and the same place. One thought it is just the thing to have men and women educa ted ui one school. In substance he said : . "Oh ! what joy from woman opting , Sosroe of bliss and purest peace ; Eden could not comfort bring Till Uk woman sbow'd her face." We all agreed on that, and were near ly carried away by the peace that woman brings, when some one in the crowd said that her presence at Mil lersville was not a source of peace ; that it ia ber presence that has brought all the trouble that has been had there. IDs idea when applied to Millersville, suggests : Oh ! the woe that woman brings Source of sorrow, grief and pain f All our evils nave thetr r-ri-'pa In Uie female eU:ca:icn train.

The State holds a mort gage on the institutions for four hundred and twenty five thousand dollars for money advanced. The setting up of these institutions have had a depressing influence upon the academies and private schools. We all thought it a pretty big busi ness for the State of Pennsylvania to go into, to build up eleven colleges. We all thought it a big thing to have the men and women there together to teach them to be teachers for the children in the common schools ; for yon know that when a teacher grad uates at one of the Normal Schools it is considered that he has the inside track for an appointment to teach wherever he may ask for a school. It is intended so to be. The teach ers are taught to teach. But we had a hearty laugh over the burlesque on the whole business that the row at Millersville puts upon it Old Andy would have called it a farce. You know that Old Hickory was a great disciplinarian ; that when he had a rule he stuck to it, but he generally had common sense rules. If you could conjure up Old Andy out of his grave and get him to speak on the question, he would pronounce the system of teaching that puts men and women together in a school as students, and then prohibits them from speaking to each other on the pavement or on school grounds, or anywhere else about the school prem ises, excepting in the presence of teachers, or in the parlor of the insti tute a farce. He would go for an institution of that kind harder than he went for Johnny Hull, harder than he went for John C. Calhoun and the nnllifiers in South Carolina in 1832. His common sense would not allow him to think of putting men and women in a school and then forbid them to speak to each other when they chanced to meet upon the side walk of the grounds about the school buildings. If the sexes cannot be trusted to speak to each other out side of the school house, they should not be brought together iu one insti tution. I jniess Old Andy would say, if the men and women cannot be kept within the limit of proper conduct without such rules, it is the strongest of arguments against the organiza tion of schools for the attendance of both men and women. If the men and women students may not stop to converse with each other but for the period of a minute, why are they put into one school T If they cannot be have themselves, there should be no co-education. To say that there is danger of demoralization if such per mission to speak to each other is given, is to proclaim against the union of the sexes in one institution for ed ucational purposes. If such rigid rules must be enforced to preserve the character of the pupils, the soon er the present Normal School co ed ucatienal system is abolished the bet ter; the sooner the school for the women teachers are removed from the men the better. While such rules exist it were best Old Andy would say, to enforce them ; but to enforce such an inconsistent system is a blister upon the morals of the better class of people. It is a blis ter upon all profession of good, for it raises the suspicion against the character of every mau and woman that attends such an institution. Who would want to attend a place where the management would cast a suspi cion on one for etopping to talk to a woman, or cast a suspicion on a wo man for stopping to speak to a man. There is no gallantry, no virtue, no honor in the system of rules that bars a man and a woman, acquain tances, from speaking to each other, anywhere under proper circum stances. The text-book training may be thorough in such co-education schools, but what kind of teachers will they be that have been taught to suspect every mau and woman that stops to speak to each other as guilty of conspiring for some improfier pur pose f What kind of a state of so ciety will such teaching produce in a few generations ? Old Andy taught that a man or woman can go where soever they please, and that the man or woman that, without just cause, attempts to discount their character, is worse than a thief, and should be got rid of by society as soon as possible in some open way ; and now we have Normal Schools that indirectly discount the character of men and women, acquaintances, when they stop to speak to each other. Such teaching will drive so ciety to the habits of the French jieople. where libertinism walks so bold-faeedly abroad that womankind may not venture out alone on the highway without being subject to in sult and single women are not al lowed in society without some pro tector. Old Hickory taught a higher state of society than that ; he taught the perfect afety of womankind any where and under all circumstances ; he taught that woman is safe any where, and that the man that dares to take her at a disadvantage may have justice meted out to him in the thrust of the dagger, or be struck down by the bludgeon in the hands of such person that she in her de legless condition might call to her aid.

It ia oj nooommon thing for men to move from plaoe to plaee, and marry at every opportunity. That a womao can also fail into snob a bad habit is faitly set forth in tbe following despatch front Bradford this state under date of the 12tn inst Win. Barr is a well-to-do farmer living in Crawford eounty. In 1879 bis daughter Cora was 16 years old and very handsome. A young oil operator named Win. Hasting, wbo bad made considerable money, fell in love with ber. Her parents said she was too youog to marry. In September, 1879, she ran away with Hastings. Tbey went to Oil City and were mar ried. The new life tht girl entered npon turned ber bead, and she became a noted flirt. Early in 1880 she and ber husband were in New York. They stopped at tbe St Nicholas Hotel. Ooe day a friend of Hastings, bis wife, and $5,000 of bis money disappeared. He oould get no trace of tba runaways. In tbe spring of 1880 a Miss Barr opened a milliner shop in Buffafo. Her beauty attracted great attention. Levi Storms, olerk in a railroad office, fell in love with tbe youcg milliner, and tbey were married. Tbey lived hap pily for tbree month. One day Storms told bis wife tbat be was expecting a visit from bis, friend "Billy" Hastings of tbe oil regions. This led to earnest inquiry on tbe part of Mrs. Storms. The next day she disappeared.

Tbe fcllowing la from tbe Little Bock Arkansas Gazelle of tbe 17tb inst, at 11 o'clock last night tbe north and south bound stages running between Fayetteville and Alma were stopped by two armed men and tbe mail and pasbengers robbed. Wben the north bound stage was abont twenty miles from Alma, and in one of the loneliest places on tbe road, between two uiouo mountains, the driver was oomniaoded to bait. Tbe driver, on looking ahead, discovered two armed men on either side of the road, about teo yards ahead with drawn pistols. After tbe stage stopped tbe robbers eouiuiaoded tbe passengers and driver to get down on tbe ground. TLey then icade tbe dri ver turn bis back to them while tbey tied and blindfolded tbe passengers.
