BUTLER CITIZEN. JOHN H. 4~wTcr>IEGIEY. PROP'RS. OIL, booming. THANKSGIVING to-morrow. CONGRESS meets Monday next. .WK have received from Hon. \Y m. G. LeDuc, Commissioner of Agricul ture, Washington, D. C., a copy of his Annual Report for the year 1878, for which he has oOr thanks. THE parties here implicated in the affairs of the National Bank left yes terday for Pittsburgh, to enter bail for their further appearances, except Messrs. Wilson and Stoughtou, who are absent at Bradford. * THE New York Republicans when asked to trade off the office of State Engineer, said: "What shall it profit us if we gain all the rest of the ticket and lose our own Soule, or what can a man gain in" exchange for our Soule ?" «E» »*■ SENATOR EDMUNDS, of Vermont, who has just returned from his sum mer trip to Europe, expresses amaze ment at the expressions of confidence in the stability of our Government which greeted him everywhere he went in Europe. The capitalists of the old world, he says, seem to have unbounded confidence in the Lnited States. _ OUR attention has been called to the case of Mr. Samuel Wilkinson, who, it is said, abuses his horses on our streets to such an extent that it has become an eyesore to our citizens. His team of horses is miserably poor and dis grace the streets, and yet withal are abused by. him. If be does not soon amend both the appearance and treat ment of his horses he may be arrested under the "cruelty to animals" law. F. P. DEWEES, Chairman of the National Committee of tho National party, and T. H. Murch, Chairman of the Congressional Committee of the National Greenback Labor party, have called a joint meeting of the commit tees in Washington on the Bth of Jan uary next, to arrange for the holding of a National Convention for the nom ination of candidates for President and Vice President. THE decision of the Supreme Court of the United States that the Federal trade mark law is unconstitutional was referred to in the Cabinet meeting lately, and it was agreed that the Pres ident, in his message, should recom mend Congress "to enact some legis lation on this subject which shall be free from the objections of unconstitu tionality, but afford protection to foreign trade marks." THE telegram purporting to have been sent by Gov. Hoyt to the Grant Reception Committee, at Chicago, is pronounced a forgery. The Philadel phia Inquirer says: "We feel it a duty we owe both to Gov. Hoyt and to the great Commonwealth of which he is Chief Magistrate, to expose this impudent forgery, which, if permitted to be considered authentic, would cover the Governor and tho State alike with merited disgrace." We are glad to see that the telegram alluded to above is pronounced a for gery, as its extravagance, if true, would have covered the Governor and the Republicans of the State alike with merited disgrace. THE Republicans of Muddycreek, Butler county, found to their dismay, when the polls were opened on elec tion day, that they had no printed tickets. They were obliged, therefore, to write some, the list of candidates being fortunately short. The Muddy creek Republicans did well, the Butler CITIZEN reports, polling 97 votes for the Uwehlan Fanner. The above we copy from tho Village Record, of West Chester, Chester county, Pa. The "Uwehlan Farmer" referred to is Hon. Samuel Butler, our State Treasurer elect, who resides in a township of Chester county bearing the above somewhat unique but musical name of Uwehlan. By the way, the aforesaid Village Record is one of the most sprightly and interesting of our exchanges. Declines a Senatorship. Hon. F. C. Beaman, of Michigan, who had been appointed by Gov. Cross well, of that State, to fill the unex pired term of the late Senator Chand ler, has declined accepting on account of ill-health. Ex-Gov. Henry P. Bald win, of Detroit, was then appointed to fill the vacancy. Hililard's Mills. A very large pump station is being erected at Hilliard's Mills, this county, and things look lively up there. Large tanks for the reception of oil were erected there some time ago and now there is to be a large pump station, all it is said in connection with the new projected Clevefand Pipe Line. Some difficulties have arisen between the new Company and the S. & A. Rail road Company as to crossing the track of the latter, but we believe the trouble is being amicably settled. Special Notice. With the hope of raising funds to meet demands on the office for paper, etc., we have sent bills for subscription to several who are in arrears for some years past, which we again request their attention to. Wc hope they and many others will take advantage of the coming Courts to bring or send in at least a part due by them. Last week's issue commenced a new vol ■ame of the CITIZEN, being volume 17, :> and if all in arrears discharge the same up to that time we will make reduc tion in their accounts. Court. The regular December Term of our Courts commences on Monday next, December Ist, and will continue for three weeks. On the first week the Grand Jury only will be in attendance, and any time not occupied by it will be givcu to an Argument list, motions, petitions, etc. The second week, commencing Bth day, will be for the trial of civil causes, for which a traverse jury lias been summoned. The third week, com mencing 15th day, will be for the same purpose. The Legislative Bribery Cases. The trials which are known as the Legislative Bribery cases, commenced at Harrisburg, on Monday of this week, having been continued over, as will be recollected from August la>t. There are eleven persons against whom true bills were found and whose cases are for trial, among them cx- State Treasurer Kemble, and Repre sentatives Rumberger, of Armstrong countv, Petroff, Smith and Claik, of Philadelphia, and others. Distin guished counsel have been engaged on both sides, and the results of the trials will be looked for with much interest. That Witch. Case. So much has been said about a cer tain supposed case of witchcraft in this county that, in justice f o the j county and some of its respectable citizens, whose names have been made public in connection with it, we deem it time some correction should be made. The publications in some of the Pittsburgh papers last week are almost entire fabrications, evidently gotten up for sensational purposes, and should not be believed, ihe sim ple story is, that a young girl named Ella Huselton, and only twelve years of age, has, either from bad rearing and training, or from some kind of physical magnetism peculiar to her, been the subject of much curiosity, on account of apparently being able to make or be the cause of noises and sounds something akin to the humbug called "spirit rappings." The very fact that there are only these rappings and other similar sounds that, it is said, respond to or are produced from or by her in answer to requests made, is sufficient to put all upon their guard. If she were possessed of an evil spirit, if there be such a thing in this day, then she would have power to produce other evidences, than what she does, of the powers of that evil spirit, and not be confined to the old rappings, etc. It may be admitted there is something very strange about this little girl, and it is not our iutcntion at this time to go into any discussion of her case, or to question the existence of something unaccountable about her, but what we desire now is to make known that there is hardly a particle of truth in most that has been pub lished about this alleged witchcraft case. The girl lives quietly with Mr. Albert Pearce, about three miles south i of Butler, who is married to a relative of hers. No professional witchmasters have been to see her, or been con sulted, and no such imaginary persons arc in this county that we know of. No such scenes as cutting circles around trees, to dispossess the supposed evil one, have taken place, and not tho one tenth of such other things as lately appeared in the Pittsburgh Leader. Some respectable people connected with Mr. Pearce's family have been much annoyed, and in justice to them, and for the credit of this county, we have felt bound to make this state ment correcting the fabricated and sen sational accounts that got into the Pittsburgh papers last week. Strange News frcm Maine. The old inquiry, "Have you heard the news from Maine ?" is very unex pectedly revived at present, but in a new phase. Heretofore the inquiry related to the news of an election in that State just after it had been held, and then it was generally "good and true" to the Republicans. And so it was supposed to be this year, after the result of the election held last Septem ber was known. The Republicans car ried the State, electing a large majority of the Representatives and Senators to the State Legislature. Their can didate for Governor also had a large plurality over either the Democratic or the Greenback candidate, and failed to have a clear majority over both by only 534 votes. By the Constitution of Maine it seems a candidate for Gov ernor mu3t have a majority over all other candidates running, and, if not, the election goes into the Legislature, the House proposing the two highest in vote to the Senate, and tho Senate making choice from said two. Last year (1878) the Democrats and Green backers obtained a majority in the Senate, and the result was that the Democratic candidate, Garcelon, was chosen Governor in that way. 1 his year the Republicans, as we have said, gained both branches of the Legisla ture, and cf reason and right supposed they had secured the Governor. But by another law in that State it seems they have a "Returning Board" sys tem there, which gives to the acting Governor (now Garcelon) and his Council the right to grant certificates of election to the members elect to the Legislature. This right or power is to be exercised iu this month, and on Monday week last, the time appointed by the law. But, in place of being done as usual, it seems Garcelon and his Council claim and have undertaken the job of hunting up defects of some kind or other in the election returns of different members chosen by the people : SlwfcteK, P*., 26, 18T9. last September. The Republicans claim they have no right to go behind the face of the returns ; that the power of the Governor and his Council is merely ministerial and not judicial, j In other words, that they are merely to issue the certificates to those elected i bv the people, without regard t<> trilling j irregularities. This has been the course ; heretofore. But we find now, away in j Maine, the most northern and eastern State, what we lately heard so much about down in the South, in Louisiana, South Carolina and Florida. This pre sents a new and strange state of af fairs, from which we arc forced to con elude, that Democrats of the North are no better than those of the South, but the same in both sections. W hat will be the result of all this trouble iu Maine will soon be seen. Ihe object is to obtain a majority of the Senate, and this by the most trifling technical ities, such as where only two notices of a town election had been posted up iustead of three. We can hardly believe it possible that so outrageous an attempt to defeat the clearly expressed will of the people will be persisted in or accomplish its object. These Returning Boards, it seems to us, should be abolished in every State in which they exist. In Pennsylvania we have no such system, and have consequently no such trou ble. Whom the people elect are elected. Our county returns are proclaimed and made public when the results are known, a copy sent to the State Cap ital, open to the inspection of all, and that is the cud of the matter. There is no room to question the election of a member of the Legislature, except in a certain way pointed out by the law, which provides for a judicial in vestigation. The idea of those who happen to be in power claiming or having the right to pick holes, here or there in the returns, is simply mon strous, and sure to defeat the will of the majority. In the case of Maine we don't believe they have such power under their law, but if they have it only shows that all this system of Re turning Hoards, as found to exist in many of the States, should be doue away with, and something like the Pennsylvania system adopted instead. A BAD STATEMENT. The Condition cf tho First National Bank of Batter at Its Suspension. BUTLER, NOV. 24, ISTO. To the Etl'lors of the Citizen : At the request of a large number of creditors and stockholders of the First National Bank of Butler, Pa., I submit the following statement showing its condition on July 18th, 1879, the date of suspension, viz: KKSOl'RCKS— (Estimated.) Notes and bills discounted, good $ 1,538 68 Notes and bills discounted, doubtful 20,079 07 Notes and bills discounted, worthless 77,681 34 $ Oft,llo Oil Over draft*, doubtful 11* 03 Ovjr drafts, worthless 60 86 Banking house and other real estate, estimated at.. 12,07.3 00 Cash items, doubtful, $200; worth less, i'4) 0.)

B. CULLUM, Receiver. The above statement being from the Receiver of the Bank, comes in an official form and can therefore be accepted as the true state of its affairs. The large amount of "notes and bills discounted," and above stated as" worth less," would seem to demand further information. We had hardly finished writing tic above when the Pittsburgh Commer cial Gazette of Monday, this week, arrived with the below startling infor mation. As it also is official we lay it before the people of the county with out further comment: FRAUD AND PERJURY. SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST TIIE BUT LER BANK OFFICERS. CRIMINAL INFORMATIONS FILED IN THE V. S. COURT AGAINST LEADING CITIZENS OF THAT TOWN —CHARGES OF MISAPFUOPKIAT INT* TIIK BANK'S FUNDS AXD MAKING FALSE OATHS. The cof the First National I»:iuk of But~ ler bids fair to become a celebrated one in the history of the national banking interest. The developments in the case, from the failure of the bank last summer and the consequent dis covery of its ruined condition through the mal administration of its officers, have been fully given iu the Commercial Gazette. On Saturday afternoon a fresh development was reached iu liie ease by the filing of criminal informations against the officers and directors of the bank. The gravity of the charge* made in these in formations are unequaled in the history ol our banking system, and we may hope will be so for a long time to come.. I pon ihe informa tions as filed in the office of the c!e:k of the United States District Court on Saturday, war rants were issued for the arrest of Charles Mc- Candiess, late President of the insolvent bank, Alex. Mitchell, the cashier, Charles Duffy, Lewis Stein, Thomas Stelile, W. 11. 11. Iti Idle, directors, and 'l'homas Uobinson, lv-q., Hon. John M. (ireer, Allen Wilson and William U. Stou"hton, Esq., who are implicated in the misappropriation of the fua.l* of the bank. These warrants will ba served to-day. 1 After the receiver of the bank had made his report to the Comptroller of the Currency, con cerning tne condition of the banit, toe latter officer laid the matter before the Solicitor of the Treasnrv, who detailed a special agent to examine the books of the bank to see whether there was anv foundation for criminal proceed ings. The results of the examination are the informations which were filed on Saturday af ternoon by order of the Solicitor of the Treas- : ury. " CHARGES AGAINST ALEX. MITCHELL. Three separate information.- are made against Alex. Mitchell, the late cashier of the bank, the particulars of which are as follows: The first charges that he made a false entry in the books of the bank to the effect that Chas McCandiess had deposited oil certificates to the amount of <>,ooo barrels of petroleum, and in misappropriating the fundi of the bank by giving Mr. McCandiess credit for the value of that amount of oil on discount, the fact being that no collateral at all was deposited. The second charge is that he discounted a note for John M. (ireer. and made a false cn- try to the effect that 1,50'» barrels of oil were! deposited as collateral, when only 1,000 barrels were reallv deposited. ! The third charge is that of perjury in mak ing false statements of the condition of the brnk under oath to the Comptroller of the Currency. MISAPPLICATION OF FINDS BV THE DIREC TORS. Another information char ires -Chi-. McCand iess. William Stoughton, Allen \\ ilson, Chas. D.IHV, W. 11. H. Riddle, I/mis Stein and I Thomas Stchle, directors of the bank, with J willful misapplication of the fund- of the bank, ! in discounting a note for .STF,.")Oo of Alex. Mitch ell, cashier of the bank, endorsed by Charles McCandiess, its President, in when both paitics were known to be insolvent. A train the some parties are charged tvlth the same offense, by discounting a note for $3,212.- 05 of Thomas Robinson, endorsed by John M. Greer, when both parties were known to be insolvent. The two latter parties are included in this information as aiders and abetters in the misapplication. ■ THE CHARGE OF PL T-IT'ITY. An information against Chas. DaSfy, charges him with perjury in swearing that lie was the owner of .>I,IKIO of the stock of the bank in W'L, when he took the oath of oia.?E as a di rec. >r of the bank. A similar charge is made against William G. Stoughton, I- R taking a like oath in IS7S. At the time that these oaths were taken, it IS asseited, that neither of these directors owned the required stock. A charge of embezzlement is made against Allen Wilson for converting to his own use a thousand barrels of petroleum, or the proceeds from its sale, the oil baiug the property of the bank, and Mr. Wilson being a director of the bank at the time. CHARACTER AND STANDING OF THE PARTIES. The parties again -t whom these serious charges are made are among the most promi nent, and some of them the oldest citizens of Butler county. Charles McCandiess, the Pres ident of the bank, is one of the leading law yers at the Butler bar. He was a State Sena tor from Butler county for three years, was appointed judge by ex-Governor Hartranft un der the new Constitution, allowing two judges to the comities of Butler and Lawrence, was the Republican nominee for election five years aero, but defeated by Hon. Ebenezer McJutil.in. Two years ago he was appointed Supreme Judge in New Mexico Territory by President Hayes, and after one year resigned and came home, where he is now practicing law. Charles Duffy, Louis S.ein and Thomas Stehle are all dry goods merchants, aud are among the honored citizens of the county. The two latt. r have been in BUSINESS for about thirty years, and the former for twenty years. W. H. 11. Riddle, Esq., I 3 a lawyer who has always stood well with the people ot the count} . lie was District Attorney of the county, and has held other positions of houor. His father was one of the fortunate men ot the county who owned a farm in the center of the oil belt, and was worth several hrtndred thousand dol lars. W. G. Stoughton, Esq., is an oil speeu.ator, and as smart a business man as the county can produce. He at one time was worth f. om one to two hu:l lred thousand dollars, made on oil, but lost it all in trying to bull the oil market three years ago. He belongs to that class of business men who can always make good headway where most men will stick. Allen Wilson, Esq., was at one time as popu lar a man as any iu the county. He served as a Captain in the late war, and was a brave ofneer. On his return home he was elected Prothonotary of the county aud made a most excellent officer. He could liave had any ofiice within the gift of the people of Butler county, as he was always looked upou as one of its verv best citizens. lion. John M. Greer is now State Senator representing the counties of Butler and Arm strong. lie is a lawyer by profession, and his being implicated in the affairs of the bank will be news to many of his numerous friends. MR. Greer has always borne a most excellent char acter, and no doubt can explain the transaction when the proper time ccmes. Thomas Robinson is a citizen of the county, and has been for years. He was a member of the Legislature from Butler county at the time of the passage of the Tonnage Tax Repeal bill, commonly called the Ten Million Steal, and voted f<>r its passage, notwithstanding that he pledged his constituents before his election he would vole against it. Since then he has been a candidate for ofiice several times, but the citizens of the county preferred that he remain in private life, where he now is, and no doubt always will be. Alex. Mitchell is a young man, and has the sympathy of all the Butler people, as they believe lie only did the bidding of others. He knew nothing abont finances when elected Cashier of the bank. His qualifications for the important trust consisted in his doing what he was told and asking no questions. Unveiling tho Thomas Statue. THE DEAD HERO EULOGIZED. WASHINGTON, XOV. 11). —The Soci ety of the Army of the Cumberland had a business meeting this forenoon. Upon the platform were Gov. Matthews and Gens. Hartranft, Butterfield and Kimball. The meeting was called to order by Gen. James A. Garfield, who stated that owing to the illness of the President of the Society, Gen. P. 11. Sheridan, he was unable to be present. Gen. Jeff. G. Davis, senior Vice Presi dent, was unanimously elected pre siding officer, and made a brief address. District Commissioner Phelps bid the Society welcome to the city. Gen. Slocum followed with a short eulogy upon Gen. George H. Thomas, whose name would go down to posterity sec ond to that of 110 man who ever trod the earth. A communication was read from Gen. Sheridan, expressing his deep regret at his absence. Comniit ! tees were appointed to nominate offi cers of the Society for the c;mi:ig year, to decide upon the time and place for the next annual meeting, and to select the orator for that occasion. The procession was composed of live divisions, and was one hour in passing a given point. Gen. T. T. Crittenden was Chief Marshal, assisted by the following Marshals of Divisions, each of whom was attended by a brilliant staff: Generals 11. 1). Mussey, 11. V. Boynton, E. A. Carman, B. P. Graf ton and Col. S. R. Hamill. Upon ar riving at the Circle where tho statue is placed the ceremonies of unveiling were begun by prayer. "Hail to the Chief" and Star Spangled Banner" were sung by a grand chorus with band, dium corps and artillery accom paniment. Tho statue was then un veiled, jieople at a distance being in formed of the fact by a salute of thir teen guns from Fort Whipple. The Grand Army Hymu was then given by a chorus of 100 male voices, sup ported by military bands, drum corps and artillery. At the conclusion of the hymn, Stanley Matthews delivered an oration. The presentation of the statue was made as an offering from the Army of the Cumberland to the Nation, and President Hayes accepted it on behalf of the people of the Uni ted States. The President said : SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE. "In the name of the people of the United States I accept this noble statue, so worthy of its subject, erected in honor of Gen. George 11. Thomas by his comrades of the illustrious Army of the Cumberland." The exercises at the Circle occupied two hours. It was estimated th.it 50,000 people were in the throng th.;t surrounded the enclosure. A general holiday was observed throughout the city, and the entire populace appeared to" be in the streets. The military features of the procession surpassed anything that has been seen in the city since the grand review at the close of the war. The procession on the way to the Circle passed the White House, where the President, Secretary Sher man, Secretary Evarts, Secretary Mc- Crary, Secretary Thompson, Secretary Schurz and Postmaster General Key i occupied seats upon a platform erected i for the occasicn. The band at the head ! of the procession played "Hail to the I Chief." The Capitol, Treasury De partment and several other buildings i were illuminated with electric lights this evening, while Pennsylvania av enue was ablaze with gas anil densely . crowded with people. Rockets aud j bombs were sent up from the south front of the Treasury Department, and j from various parts of the city. The grand tout erected upon grounds j south of the White House was the main point of attraction for members i of the Army of the Cumlierland, in- ! vitcd guests and citizens generally, j At eight o'clock, when the exercises ; began, about (>,(>oo persons were pa.-ked j within, while twice as many more thronged every approach. The tent was brilliantly illuminated with cor dons of gas jets surrounding the seven central poles which supported the can vass, and presented an animated kaleid oscope of glittering uniforms anil gor geous toilets. The exercises were commenced with prayer by Rev. H: C. McCauley, of All-Souls' Unitarian Church in this city. Judge Arthur MeArthur deliv-| ered an address of welcome on behalf of the city. After music by the West Point Baud and the Centurion Choir, Gen. Anson G. MeCook delivered tbe oration. At the close of Gen. McCook's ora tion, Miss Annie Storey read with fine effect an original poem by Edward Re niud, entitled "The Rock of Chicka mauga." The concluding line, "Then crown the hero's name with three times three," was followed by three rous ing cheers. Gen. Garfield then an nounced the programme for to-iuorrow to be as follows: TO-DAY'S PROGRAMME. At 0.30 A. M. business meeting of the Society of the Army of the Cumber land, at 11 A. M. an excursion to Mount Vernon by the Society, 8 P. M. recep tion by the President at the Executive Mansion, and at 10 P. M. a grand prom enade concert in the large tent. Loud calls were made for Gen. Sherman, in response to which that gentleman stepped to the front and made a short speech (a bummer speech, as he termed it), in which he thanked the Army of the Cumberland for having done a noble work and having done it well. He eu logized the character and worth of Gen. Thomas, whose reputation was not ephemeral but was firm as a rock. Nothing could ever shake the name and fame of Thomas. He stated a3 a matter of history that to Robert An derson had Gen. Thomas been indebted for his commission as a Brigadier Gen. It was now stated in the public prints that Anderson had not been true to his country, but he knew otherwise, aud if George Washington had been a patriot so, too, had Robert Anderson. (Applause.) Loud calls were then made for President Hayes, and his appearance upon the stand was the signal for en thusiastic cheers. He spoke as fol lows : My Friends of the Army of the Cumberland: I thank your committee for the courtesy which enables me to be present with you to-night to take part with you in this agreeable family meeting. I do not propose to enter upon any discussion of the principal topics of"the day. The history of the Army of the Cumberland all intelligent Americans know by heart. What nobler monument has ever been erected to any hero than the monument which has been alluded to by my friends here to night Several other speeches were made, all of them eulogizing Gen. Thomas iu the highest terms. POULTRY show, December 9. ■Sutler Markets. [Corrected by O. WILSON MILLEB IT Bno.] BUTTF.B—Good 18 cents V >b. DACOS- -Plain sugar curoi hams 11 cte.

If it is taken iu tl:n2 it is as easily cure! as a wart or a corn. Wo know very well that it is a fearful disease and will cat away until it destroys life, that is if it is neglected, but if it is attended to when it first makes its appearance, or soon after, there is no trouble iu eradicating it from the system. Persons will have to be here during part of the treatment, consequently there is no use writing to me for information whether it can be cured without my seeing the case.
