BUTLER CITIZEN, j JOHN H. *- W. C. NE6LEY. PROP'RS Entered at the Poxtoffire at Butler as second-clatss matter. Republican State Nominations. FOR JUDGE SUPREME COURT, Hon. Henry Green, [OF NORTHAMPTON* COVSTY. FOR AUDITOR GENERAL, Hon. John A- Lemon, OF BLAIB COCSTY. DISABTKBOCB floods have visited ggVerel of the Southern States within the last two weeks, swelling the streams and creating much alarm. REMONSTRANCES are being circulated all over the State against pardoning Kemble and Company recently con victed of corrupt solicitation of mem bers of the last Legislature. It will certainly be unhealthy for the Pardon Board to attempt anything of that kind, especially before the sentence of the law has been pronounced. HON. EDWAEB MCPHERSON, late editor-in-chief of the Philadelphia Press, has accepted the Secretaryship of the Republican Congressional Com mittee, at Washington city, which was recently tendered him. His great ex perience in and knowledge of the poli tical affairs of this country make him the right man in the right place on that important Committee. Besides his ability as a Republican writer and worker he is recognized as an honest man in all'matters. "THE committee appointed by the Crawford county mass meeting, held at Meadville some weeks ago, to inter view Gordon and Robinson as to their intended action at Chicago, addressed their interrogatories to those gentle men last week, but up to yesterday morning had received no reply.' The above we clip from the Mercer Index of last week, and is the first statement we have seen that the com mittee appointed by the Crawford county meeting had addressed the del egates on the subject of their appoint ment. Being so, we presume we will now soon have early answers from the delegates to the interrogatories of the committee. These answers will settle the whole question, or at least let the Republicans know what further action, if any, is necessary on their part. The party in this county is therefore very anxiously waiting to see these answers. Rhode Island for Blaine. The State of Rhode Island, in con vention last week, appointed and in structed her delegates to the Chicago Convention to vote for Hon. James G. Blaine as her choice for the Presidency. This adds eight more votes to the Blaine column. Death of Rev. J.' Q Barnes By the Mercer county papers of last week, we are informed of the death of Rev. J. G. Barnes, who formerly lived and preached in the lower end of this connty, being familiarly known as Rev. Gibson Barnes. He removed to Monmouth, -Illinois, some years ago, where he died on the 16th inst. He was a native of Mercer county. The National Bank. In answer to inquiries from deposi tors as to when another dividend will be made from the assets of the late Na tional Bank of this place, we give the below as the only information we have on the subject: TIIE BtJTLER BANK. [Special to the Commercial Gazette.] WASHINGTON, Mar. 15.—The latest information from Receiver Purviance, of the Butler National Bank, states that whilst the affairs of that institu tion are progressing satisfactorily to wards a settlement some embarrass ment and delays are experienced through litigations. There is. no bright prospect of the very early dec laration of a dividend in liquidation of the claims of the depositors of the bank. The amount paid to the credi tors of the bank up to date is 15 per cent. Saint Patrick. Last Wednesday, 17th inst., was what is known as "Saint Patrick's Day," being the birth day of the Pa tron Saint of Ireland, and was again duly celebrated in this country by the sons of the Emerald Isle. The fol lowing is interesting as some of his LEGENDARY HISTORY. There are various claims as to the birthplace of Saint Patrick, but it is generally conceded that the saint was born in 372 and when he was only 16 years of age was carried off by pirates, as history relates, and sold into sla very in Ireland, where bis master em ployed him as a swineherd on the well-known mountaiu of Sleamish, in the county of Antrim. The history of his subsequent career is filled with interesting legendary anecdotes, es pecially of bow, in resisting the an tagonism of the Druidical priests, of the more ancient faith, he cursed their fertile lands so that they became dreary bogs; their rivers so they produced no fish, and their kettles so that with no amount of fire they could be made to boil, and finally the Druids themselves HO that the earth opened and swal lowed them all up. Another popular legend relates that the saint and his followers fouud themselves one cold morning on a mountain without a fire to cook their breakfast or warm them selves. Saint Patrick, however, silenced their complaints by gathering a quantity of snow, breathing upon it and creating a fire which served all their purposes satisfactorily. The greatest of all the miracles of the great saint, and probably the one with which everybody is most familiar, was the driving of the snakes and venomous reptiles from off Irish soil and rendering it ever alter so obnoxi ous to the serpent race tlyit to touch the ground of Erin is instant death. Ae • temperance advocate it is related of the venerated saint that at one time he commanded his disciples t-> abstain from drinks in the daytime until the bell ran? for repose in the evening. Saint Patrick's day always brings with it the memory of the shamrock, the connection which it bears to the anniversary of the patron saint is that when he preached the doctrine of the Trinity to the Pagan Irish he used this plant, bearing three leaves upoii one stem, as an illustration of the great mystery. Blaine Feeling Growing Elsewhere in this issue will be seen what the Republicans of other coun ties in this State are doing on the Presidential question. In some of these counties the action of the Re puslican masses had been similar to that of our own county previous to the meeting of the State Convention and in appointing their delegates thereto. In other counties no action was taken as to their district delegates to the Chicago Convention, both for want of time and the not dreaming that the State Convention would dare usurp their rights iu the matter. Hence they are now meeting and act ing, as they have a right to do any time before the Chicago Convention meets June 2nd. And all this arises from the "snap judgment.'' as it was well termed, which was attempted to be taken bv the earlv call for and meeting of the State Convention, on February 4. now almost two months ago and at least three months e. rlier than what it should or need have been. The result has been to arouse the He publicans of the State to an assertion of their inherent and inalienable right to choose and instruct their own dis trict delegates to a National Conven tion. If the sentiment of the great majority of them in the State is re spected, Senator Blaine wili have the vote of Pennsylvania at Chicago. Our Delegates to Chicago—County Convention Proposed. Frequently, since the Harrisburg State Convention, we have been asked and written to as to a meeting or con vention in this county, similar to what has been held in other counties, rela tive to further instructions to our del egates to the Chicago National Con vention. In reply we have invariably stated, first, that in our opinion the delegates from this Congressional dis trict were already instructed by the highest authority they possibly could be, that of the Republicans themselves of the whole three counties of Butler, Mercer and Crawford, acting through their County Committees, and that if the delegates named by them were honorable and honest men they would regard and obey the sentiments of their constituents, the attempt of tLe State Convention to give them other instructions to the coutrary notwith standing. And this for the reaum that the State Convention had no right or power ever given it to instruct dis trict delegates differently from their district instructions. This doctrine is go sound, just, reasonable and right, that we have yet to read or see the first Republican paper that has dared to deny it. We say, then, our dele gates are fully instructed, and will carry out cur will if they are trust worthy men. But the Republicans of the district are fearful ami uneasy on the subject, and not without reason. And to this we have said, in the second place, that so -far as this, our own county of Butler was concerned, we hud yet another remedy in the fact that there had to be another meeting of our County Committee, and that , soon, for the purpose of fixing the time for holding our next Primary election, and that if any further in structions were deemed advisable they could be given at that meeting. And then, in the third place, the Republi cans in Crawford county had appointed a committee to address our delegates on the question as to how they viewed the question and intended to act in the Chicago Convention. This committee, we see it stated, has acted, but we hoar of no responses from Messrs. Robinson and Gordon as vet. It none are not soon heard from them, and if there is not soon called a meeting of our County Committee, of which Mr. Robinson is Chairman, andean eall any time he chooses, then we agree with the movement suggested by the writer of the following, for a Comity Conven (ion. The following extracts are from his letter, and the sentiments are those of nine-tenthx of the Republicans of this county. The letter is dated Par ker township, M-irch 15, and among other things it says: "The stand you have taken on the Harrisburg and Chicago Conventions question meets with my approval, and, so far as 1 know, with every Republi can voter in this vicinity. We are anxiously awaiting the reply of our delegates to Chicago to the Meadville committee. Hut I think no time should be lost in making a move in this county to the same end. Gentlemen in this part of the county have commenced an effort which will result in a thorough canvass of the county. They ure go ing to make a call for a County vention, to be held prior to the Chi cago Convention, so that the delegates to the County Convention can have an opportunity to instruct the delegates to Chicago. It is the desire to make the instructions so plain that if our delegates disobey them they will do so fully understanding what the con sequences will be. Kvery Republican in this part of the county is in favor of this, and thev are bound to carry it through." The writer speaks of the feeling in Fairview, Parker and Allegheuy town ships, but it is no stronger there than in other parts of the county, and the silence of our delegates so far is only adding to this feeling. If Messrs. Kobiusou aud Gordon are euppowing p.»fcU)c Citiseu: PttUiec, P«.» 3U«*cf? 24, ISSfI. this feeling will die out. or pass away, thev are laboring under a delusion. The people are for Blaine now more than ever, and it will not be well to betray them. .AH matters in this dis trict could have been set to rest before this. We look to hear of something definite soon. No Action in the Brib ry Cases. HAKBISBIUO, March IT. —lt was ex pected that the Hoard of Pardons be fore adjourning to-day wou d decide whether a meeting would be held on the 29th to consider the application for pardons of the parties recently con victed here of bribery- The board yes terday liefcre transacting any business consulted on the subject, but came to no conclusion beyond agreeing to set tle the matter before adjournment sine die to-day. Hut it adjourned without making any decision, and although it was supposed that the matter would lie arranged that evening, yet up to midnight no call for a meeting on the 29th had been decided on. Lieutenant Governor Stone left for home to-night, and he says that although tie subject of an extra session was broached, yet it was not decided upon. He is re ported to l>e opposed to the extra ses sion. Counsel for the applicants have been making a strong effort to have the board meet on the day they are sentenced, but the only way it can be done now is for the members to ajrree while at home as to what they will do. THE anti-machine Republicans of j Lancaster county scored several big > victories on Tuesday at the County j Committee meeting. First the Commit-: tee ordered the primaries to be held May ! 22nd: second that the voters choose deb-gates to Chicago ; third, that the voters may vote for President, and that thev shiill IK* provided with a list of the Republican candidates for U. S. Sena tor, and have the right to vote on that question also. Grow's friends handed in his name at once, and it i* thought he will certainly be the choice of the eight Lancaster members to lie chosen this fall. Mr. Heistand, the Grant leader, wanted the resolution about Senator to compel the Lancaster mem bers to be bound by the Legislativ< caucus, but Martin, theleadcrof theop position, denounced the caucus "as the rock on which Lancaster county Re publicans were shipwrecked every time. The political managers had a long for sight and set up the caucus away ahead, They have money for the pur chaseable, promises for the fools and threats for the cowards. After secur ing Philadelphia and Allegheny they caii always buy up enough others to capture the caucus, and then their tight is won." The resolution was then amended to reed that the members elected should use all honorable means j to secure the election as Senator, the I choice of Lancaster county Republi cans. This is taking the bull by the horns most effectually, and is a prece dent which the Republicans of Craw ford might do well to follow.—Craw ford Journal, March IS. WHEN a man's horse i- stolen it may be the perfection of kindness, of good j sense and of worldly wisdom, to ad vise him to get a padlock for his stable, but that it will disturb the harmony of the community to make a row about it. and try to catch the thief and recover the horse, and he had better not do it. That seems to be about the size of the advice which is quite frequently given to the Republicans of Hi is district, who waked up one morning to find that the delegates they had chosen and in structed, had Ileen taken in hand by some parties with headquarters at Harrisburg, and given a new set of in structions. If the Harrisburg gentle men had not done wrong there wouldn't l>e any series of rows all over the State, but as it is there is likely to lie a lively time for a few weeks—all inside the party ranks. Those who have good advice to give, had l»est, we think, give it to those men who have attempted to rob the Republicans of this and other districts—of the whole State indeed— of their right to an hon est representation of their wishes at Chicago, and not upon those Republi cans who, believing themselves de frauded, are doing their best to right the wrong— Meadville Republican. THERE are signs of revolt in York county. The chairman of the County Committee has called a Convention of delegates to "obtain the prevailing sen timent among the Republicans of York as to their choice for presidential nom inee," with a view to the election, by district action, of new delegates to the Chicago Convention. This is in the line of the action proposed to be taken in Lancaster county, and if responded to will result in two sets of delegates —one set named through the State Convention by the district delegates in it from those counties, and the other chosen through delegate Convention or otherwise, by the counties. Certain it is, the Republicans of Pennsylvania are in a condition of great unrest at the situation in which they find themselves placed. And this because they feel that there is a relentless purpose on the part of a set of leading politicians to drag the delegates from this State up to the support of a candidate to whose nomination they are opposed, and to compel these delegates to sacrifice and defeat the candidate whom our Re publicans are proud to consider their great and gallant leader.— Press. A NOTEWORTHY phase of the Blaine movement in northern Ohio i.-. tin- or ganization of a club at Cleveland with a numerous and influential membership and with a President in the person of Mr. Kdwin Cowles, proprietor of the Lender. Mr. Cowles was a Grant en thusinst a very few months ago' and advocated the ex-President with much vigor in his journal. Becoming con vinced that the masses of his party favor Senator Blaine, and that many German Republicans will oppose Grant, while the Third Term idea seems to place a damper on the Grant move ment generally, lie has decided that party interests, which so affect the in terests of the country, demand that the ex-President be left out of the list of candidates.— A" jr. A WORD to the the wise. Now is a very good time for newspaper subscri bers to pay a long while in advance If tlie price of white paper holds its present rate (and the manufacturers say it must go hijrher,) publishers will have to add to their prices, and that right soon. A receipted bill for a first ela-< newspaper a year or two ahead is a pretty good thiug to have;— Hujj'alo Ejpprt-vn After Pardons. The B<>ard of Pardons will meet in special se--ion on March 27th. to con sider the applications for the pardon of the Legislative roosters and corruption ists. Judge Pearson fixed the time for sentence two days later, March 29th. IT looks as if these fellows would have pardons in their pockets when called up for sentence. A remonstrance is being circulated for signatures in differ ent parts of the State, of which the an nexed is a copy: To thf Honorable Board of fnrdon* : WHEREAS, A number of persons, to wit: Jo-.se U. Crawford, Win. 11. Keinble, Emile J. Petroff, Win. I". and Charles B. Salter, have been arranged before the Criminal Court of Dauphin county, for the commission of high crimes the Constitution ami laws i>t the Commonwealth, fourof whom plead guilty, and one, after a fair and impartial trial, was convicted; and Wilt UK AS, The aforesaid j»ers»»ns nave ad vertised ami given notice of their intention to apply lo vour Honorntde Hoard for a rec<»m mendatiou to Mis Excellency, the c made at once to organize tie force of enum erators and prepare for the taking of the census in such States, beginning on June Ist. No commissions will lie sent to supervisors in the .States where the nominations for supervisors are pend ing, or where vacancies exist by reason of rejections, and should the Senate persist in these rejections it is probable that some of the States will be omitted in the census of ISSO. The entire list of supervisors in Pennsylvania not- hav ing been confirmed, no instructions or commissions will be forwarded to that State. Tioga Next. The Republicans of Tioga county, have called a mass Convention to meet in Wellsboro next Tuesday evening, to express their unbiased preference for a candidate for the Presidency. The call states that a large majority of the voters of the county are in favor of J. (J. Blaine, and that they entertain fears that they will not be fairly repre sented at Chicago. The Agitator says the call has been circulated only two or three days and has 270 active and decided Republicans to it, and that it could be doubled with very little trouble.— Meadville ltepublican, Mar. 19. Henry Ward Baocher Snubbed CINCINNATI, March 10.—A Dispatch to the Times from Frank ford, Ken tucky. says the lower branch of the Kentucky Legislature this morning, bv a vote, refused to give Henry Ward Beecher the use of the legislative hall for the purpose of making an address at noon to-dav. THE Republicans of Cumberland are speaking out. The same vigorous spirit appears there as in Lancaster. The Standing Committee of the county issued a call for primary elections last Saturday to vote on the follow ing resolutions: llrmlrrd, That the choice of Conilierland county for president of the I'liited States is .lames e of the "series of 1*75," having the scolloped seal in stead of the old seal with points, and l>eariug the words "Scries 1876" across the face in red ink under the charter number, and the imprint "Printed at the Bureau of Engraviug and Printing. U. S. Treasury Depart ment," iu the upper right hand corner. It is printed on an imitation of the fibre paper, and is the first counterfeit which has vet appeared on this series of na tional bank notes. The printing of the seal is somewhat imperfect, and the figures in the boat in the vignette in the lower left-hand corner are inferior to the genuine The most noti< > eable defect is the fare of the standing figure in the bow of the boat, which looks like a death's head in the counterfeit; in the genuine, the features are much more . distinct. It bears the signatures of John Allison. Register of the Treas . ury, and John C. New, Treasury of the United States. The Plumed Knight. A letter was received at the Wash ington postoffice on Monday morning, addressed as follows: "The Plumed Knight, United States Senate, Wash ington, I>. It was postmarked Knoxville, Tenn. The postmaster of the Senate had an idea it was intended for Senator Blaine, but he did not teel like taking the responsibility of putting it iu Blaine's box, so he handed it lo Sergeant-at-Arms Bright and a consul tation was held, to which several Sen ators of both parties were admitted. It was suggested by one that the let ter belonged to Judge Davis. Another claimed that Edmunds was the person addressed, and another that Thurman or Voorhees or Conklitig was intended, but it was finally decided to give it to Blaine, so when he came into the Sen ate Col. Bright handed it to him and very gracefully indicated that public opinion seemed to recognize him as the owner of the letter. Blaine smiled and opened the envelope. It was an in vitation to .lames G. Blaine to attend some literary exercises at the Univer sity of Tennessee. MR. DENNIS KEARNEY gets the snug sentence of six months' imprisonment and to pay a line of 81,000. This is the nearest approach to justice toward this pestiferous blackguard that has been meted out, and it is greatly to be hoped the higher Courts to which, it is understood, be proposes to carry his case will be as intelligent regarding their duty as was the San Francisco Police Judge. Kearney was greatly surprised at the magnitude of the sen tence, as he had in his unbounded im pudence been boastiug that he would suffer no greater penalty than a fine of about twenty dollars. The people of San Francisco have for a long time borne in patience the antics of this man, and it is satisfactory to learn that they have at last determined to bear down upon him. Gov. HOYT, in a recent interview, is reported as holding the opinion that the unit rule is only binding on the delegates at large. He holds that the district delegates are free to vote ac cording to the wishes of their constitu ents. This view is correct, and the district delegates, if they are true to their instructions will vote so as to reflect the sentiment of the constitu ency they have been delegated to rep resent. The State Convention by a meagre majority declared for the unit system, but the fifty-eight delegates from this State will not be given sol idly, unless they are ready to join hands for Blaine. In that case they would be carrying out the wishes of the people of the Keystone State.— West Chester Republican. THE Philadelphia Evening Star, an independent paper, in speaking of our corrupt legislators, savs: "If the pub licity given to the vile proceedings of these corruptionists, although a re proach on our fair fame, results in awakening the true and honest men of our State to the importance of sending a better class of men to the Legisla ture. and to the salutary punishment of all their corruptors, our State will soon be redeemed from the dishonor entailed upon her by these scoundrels and the dawn of a better day for our Commonwealth will be at hand." A Novel Jeromoay. I From the Rome '(ia.) Tribune.) A Justice of the Peace living not a thousand miles from Rome a few days ago was called on to marry a couple. Not being in the habit of preforming the ceremony th?* Justice became a little confused, but managed to go through the form until he came to the concluding words, when he wound up thus: "And now I pronounce you man and wife, and may God have mercv on your souls!" THE Riot bill defendants who have already been convicted will be sen tenced on March 29th. Representative Wolf denies most emphatically that an agreement was made between _ the counsel for the Commonwealth and the defense to drop the case of Repre sentatives Smith aud Clark, and Messrs. Long, Leisenring, McCuue, aud Shoemaker, indicted for corrupt solicitation. THE Republicans of tin? York-Adams- Cutnlierland district have called new County Conventions and will choose their own delegates to Chicago. Other districts which are likely to be misrepresented will do the same thing unless the delegates already chosen promise to fairly represent the wishes of the Republican voters. A DISPATCH from Carlisle states that the result of the election held there on Saturday on the resolution instruct ing the delegates from that Congres sional district to vote for Blaiue in dis regard of the State Convention, was 4 ! JO for the resolution and 6 agaiust it —Ex. OLEOMARGARINE has gone from the Pittsburgh market—the manufactory of that article—or "butter foundry"— in the Siuokv City having ceased ope- I rH**xm. • The Party of Delegratoe. If the delegates from this district, savs the Meadville Republican, vote fair and square for the man their con stituents want, their duty will be done, and whether that vote is for the suc cessful man or another he nominated, the Republicans of Crawford, Mercer and Butler will vote for him to a man, and if he. is defeated it will not be their fault. If. however, it were a possible thing (and we beg pardon of our dele gates for even supposing the case) that the vote of this district should be taken from the candidate of its choice while there is a possibility of his nom ination, and given to another, we could not guarantee the same result. In this the people are right. If Repub licanism is not a cheat the people have a right to say who is to be nominated as fully and fairly as who shall be elected. When we lay down the broad principle that all the authority vested in the district delegates is derived from the Republicans of the district they represent, and that no assumed instructions from a State Convention can bind them, we do so without res pect to whether the district is for Grant, Blaine, Sherman or the dark horse. It is a principle in the. constitution of our party, and when it is obliterated there won't be much left worth contending for. _____ Hot Haste—Kemble & Co. Apply ing For Pardon. HARRISBURO, March 12.—The ap pearance of the following »n the Harris burg Telegraph this afternoon caused quite a sensation in this citv, and no doubt will in the eutire State: "Notice is hereby given that applica tion will be made to the Board of Par dons for the pardon of Cbas. B. Salter, Wm. 11. KembJe, Jesse R. Crawford, Wm. F. Rumberger and Kmile J. I'e troff, in cases respectively against them in the Court of Quarter Sessions of Dauphin county, for corrupt solicita tion." This notic" was published at the in stance of the Harrisburg attorneys for the accused, and of course it was au thorized by the defendants awaitiug sentence. It was generally supposed an application for pardon would be made in case the sentence of the Court was severe, but such indecent haste was wholly unexpected, and it will be sur prising if the maximum punishment of the law is not administered. The ap plication for a pardon is not only re garded as an insult to the Court, which will not pronounce judgment on the ac cused until the 29th inst, but to the Board of Pardons. As the next regular meeting of the board will be held on Tuesday next, and as two weeks' publication of the notice of application is required, and the evidence of publication must be filed with the board 10 days before the time fixed for the meeting, the cases will probably be considered at the April session, beginning on the 12th. There is a rumor that the board will hold a special session for the accommo dation of the applicants for pardon, but its previous honorable action gives as surance that it will not place itself in that unenviable light. SECRETARY SCHURZ is understood to have effected an arrangement with the fifteen chiefs of the Ute nation of In dians, by which they agree to cede to the -United States their reservation in Colorado, and the United States agree to grant to each head of a family ICO acres of agricultural land and a like amount of grazing land, and one-half of this quantity to each single person. The land thus granted is to be set apart for these Indians, and the title given is to bo fee simple to each Indian. The title is to be inalienable for twenty five years and the land to be untaxable for the same period. The Indians are to select their own locations, in certain districts named in th/stipulation. The Government is to survey the lands and issue patents to the ludians in serveralty. As soon as the several tribes of the Ute nation shall have ac cepted this arrangement, the Govern ment is to pay in cash to the Indians the annuities now provided for by law, amounting at this time t0560,000, and as much more as Congress shall see fit to appropriate. In addition to this, the l T tcs are to receive an annuity of $50,- 000, to be distributed among them per capita, and their present annuity of $25,000 is to be continued. The whole number of these Indians is a little more than four thousand, and what they surrender to the Government is their reservation in Colorado, amount ing to nearly twelve millions of acres of land. TUKHF. is little doubt but that the immigration from Ireland during the present year will be greater than in any twelvemonth since the famine of '47-8 sent the tide of Celtic immigration with unexampled force across the At lantic. Already the inpour has begun, an unusually large number of Irish im migrants having landed at New York during the last couple of weeks. Vari ous organizations have been formed, both in this country and across the At lantic, to aid in this movement, and ef forts are being made to settle many of the new-comers in agricultural pursuits. Hitherto Irish immigrants to this country have'seldom engaged in agri culture here, although farming was the business of most of them at home. As a rule they have reached our shores with barely enough money to keep them for a few weeks, when necessity forced them to take the fti*«t job that is offered, and this has seldom been on a farm. Moreover, besides lacking capi tal enough even to make a small start in farming, they have been destitute for the most part of the steady, per sistent industry needed to transform the farm hand into the farmer. 11 is proposed to settle various colonies of our expected visitors in different parts of the West—we wish all success to the experiment.
