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. Gesebal Graxt expresses the be
lief tliat President Garfield has treat
ed Conkling outrageously, but says
there was no such treaty as the no
called " Treaty of Mentor."

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 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

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 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

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 Ham'sburg Ttlegraph remarks :
It is noticed in Eastern cities that
the reduced interest on Government
bonds has made a marked difference
in the living of thousands of people,
who within fifteen years past have
inherited fortunes entirely invested
in such securities. The divided es
tates of great manufacturers, of pros
perous merchants, composed of such
investments, were regarded as mag
nificent livings for those who inher
ited them, but when a $6,000 income
is cut down to 83.500, and a $3,000
is reduced to $1,750, the deprivation
Li regarded as a great imposition by
people who have never been accus
tomed to earn tne money wnicu ukj

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.

L'uut on money advanced chiefly
Rfj of Pennsvlvania ; the
people's money has in the main been
.,a tn mt nn the houses, or palace
for that is what they are ia point of
size and stvle of architecture anu
grandeur. 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.

Eppler sprang from bis bed, and on
looking across tbe street to bis store
saw two men coming out of tbe door.
He hastily got hold of his double bar
relled gun, and in bis night clothes
ruabed out ic;o the street to give them
tbe contents of bis gnu, but the rascals
beard bim coming and m&de down tbe
street as fast as possible. Mr. Eppler
disobarged bis gun after them, one of
wbicb fell to tbe street, but jumped np
tgain and took to bis beels, both mak
ing th sir escape. While this was go
ing on a tbird man came out of tbe
store, and Mrs. Eppler, wbo was also
up by this time, called to ber busband
that there comes another, npon which
tbe thief drew bis revolver and thot at
Mrs. Eppler, tbe ball missing ber and
going tbrongb the window near wbers
she was standing, and lodged in tbe in
side wall of tbe house. When this oc
curred Mr. Eppler was plaoed in an
awkward fix, as be eould not follow
both parties, and being in his barefeet
could not get after them to advantage
and tbey made their escape. If it bad
not been for a wagon standing in tbe
street which interfered and received
the greater portion of the sbst, it is al
together likely that one of tbe- parties
would bave been shot. They did not
get anything. As soon as the alarm
was sprung tbey found that they bad
gel into the wrong orib.
GE3ERAL. ITEMS.
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. Hast
ings went to Bnffalo. lie was satisfie J
that the rusmway wife of his friend
Storms was bis runaway wife also. He
put Deteetive C. C. Halstead on her
track. Two months afterward sbe was
traced to Chicago. She bad been mar
ried tbree weeks to a clerk in Field &
Leiter's dry goods boue. Tbe youog
woman learned tbat she waadiseovered,
for on the day that her first husband
arrived in Chicago with the officer sbe
again disappeared. Sbe took with her
$100, s!l the money ber latest busband
bad. A few weeks ago a gnntleiuaa
from Bradford met Mrs. Hastings in
Sao Francisco. He telegraphed the
fact to her buband. wbo is a friend of
his. Detective Halstead, armed wilb
a requisition for Mrs. Hastings, and a
warrant for ber arras t on the charge of
bigamy, has started for California to
bring the farmer's daughter back to ber
native State.
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.
Then tbey lied and blindfolded tb dri
Ver and placed bim in front cf tbe team
telling biiu that if be moved hand or
f ot be would be a dead man. After
this tbey took all tbe money tbe pass
engers bad amounting to about thirty
dollars, lbs driver asked them to
Icosen the straps on bis wrists as it was
hurting bim, and one of the robbers re
plied tbat be would as soon as they
Lad robbed tbe south bound stage,
which wis lb to beard spproaohing. As
soon as the south bound stag's arrived.
tbe driver was ordered to bait. Tbe
stage contaiued only ooe passenger,
Mr. Gray, of Fayetteville, from whom
tbe robbers took five dollars' in mcoiy
and a gold watch and chain. Tbey
took tLe mail from both stages, cutting
open botn sacks and taking all tbe reg
istefed .letters and packages wbicb ap
peared valuable. Tbe robbers then
uotied one of the passengers, telling
biia thai if be moved before they told
bim rbey would kill bim. Tbey then
took to the Wood.
An incident occurred in Baltimore
a few days ago which goes to show to
What extremes' a wife's devotion will
lead ber. A young man wss arrested
and locked np in a police station on a
charge of disorderly conduct, wben bis
wife, with a baby in her arms, appear
ed before the magistrate aud pleaded
for mercy. It was not tbe first time
be bad been arrested, and tbe officer
was unwilling to release him without
imposing a fine and requiring bail for
his future good behavior. Tbe woman
then begged for a delay of half an bonr
before be was sent to jail, acd on tbe
stay of proceedings being granted, she
hurried out, secured the necrcensary
bond from an acquaintance, and pledg
ed her baby for $1.75, the amount of
the fine and costs, and led her busband
away in triumph.
It seems tbat tbe attempt to natural
ize camels in Texas and New Mexico
was not, after all, an utter failure. Tbe
camels used for carrying freight across
the California derert did not, for some
reason, prove profitable, aod they were
turned loose on tbe Gila and Salt Riv
er bottoms. There they lived and bred,
until now, it is said, tbey roam the low
er Gila plains in large nuoibers, giving
The Louisiana Citizen ground for tbe
belief thfct they "will continue to in
crease in numbers, until a drove of ca
mels will become as common on the
western plains of Arisina as buffalo
now are on tbe plains east of tbe Rock
Mountains." Michael J. Houston and bis son
Michael U. were suffocated in a well
in Frederick City Md., a few days ago.
Tbey were taking out a pump stock,
and when tbe son went down and fell
into tbe water tbe father followed to
rescuo bim. Both lost their lives. Tbey
were residents of Waynesboro, Pa.,
whither their remains will be sect
