THK CITIZEN to January 1, 1882, for $1.50. _____ A COLORED barber has been elected ] to Congress from the Fir»t Arkansas district—by a close shave. GARFIELD'S official majority in the State of Indiana is 6,540. In Ohio it is just about the same as in Pennsyl vania, 37,000. THE Republican majority in New York State, according to the Albany Journal, is 20,681. The Albany Ar gus makes it 20,005. CHARLES - ALLEN. Democrat, was elected to the New Jersey Legislature last election, from the Third Assembly district, by a majority of one GOVKRNOR HOYT has issued a proc lamation designating Thursday. No vember 25, as a day of thanksgiving, thus approving Mr. Haves' choice. Thk 198 th anniversary of William Penn's landing in Pennsylvania was celebrated in Philadelphia last Monday evening a week, by the Pennsylvania Historical Society. NOTWITHSTANDING the rumors that there are frauds in New \ ork all good Democrats have come to the conclusion that Garfield will be the next occupant of the White ENGLISH thinks the great mistake was in putting a soldier at the bead of the Democratic ticket, the people be ing tired of shoulder-straps. Han cock's opinion of English is—unutter able THE Buffalo Courier, Democrat, pro tests against the folly of a Democratic attempt to count out Garfield. Nor is Watterson heard summoning with clari on voice 100,000 to march on Wash ington and save the country. FRANCIS MARTIN, Democrat, is elected member ef Assembly in Arm strong county by 16 majority over William G. Heiner, Esq. The friends of Mr. Heiner in this county regret much to learn ol bis defeat. IN onr table last week the vote for the Greenback electors in this county was not given in detail of by districts. The following show in what places it was cast: Allegheny township, 17; Concord, 6 ; Cherry, 6 ; Connoquenes sing, south, 1; Donegal, 6; Franklin, 28; Fairview (east) 29; Fairview (west,) 75; Jackson (east,) 3; Jack son (west,) 1; Jefferson 2 ; Mercer, 41; Marion, 1; Oakland, 2; Parker, 61; Summit 4; Slipperyrock, 13 ; Ve nango, 4; Washington, 1; Wiufield, 7; Butler borough, 8 ; Fairview bor ough, 7 ; Karns City, 3 ; Millerstown, 6 ; Petrolia, 12 ; Prospect, 1 ; Sunbury, 1. In all, 346. HARPER'S Weekly calls attention to the scandalous manner in which nom inations have been made this year — that is, solely on account of the amount of money which tbe candidates could and would put into the canvass. This has certainly been a growing evil of late years, and it is one that will be very difficult to check unless through the concerted action of the best citi zens—those who are not aspirants for office, and are in earnest for this re form. When office is only to be ob tained by those who own or control great wealth, we have already drifted into a method of government that is neither Republican nor Democratic. But this is the change that has already come about in nearly all of our large cities, and many country districts. Both parties have, during th<i past few years, made it a rule to nominate rich men for the most important offices —men able and willing to spend money freely for the cause of the party. The candidate may be able in other re spects, or be may not be. It is an evil that must be checked soon if we are to bare anything like good and pure gov ernment, for it not only prevents the best men from taking office but it de moralizes our public life by corruption of electors. The remedy for this must exist, and it must be sought for by thinking and patriotic voters; and it can be found none too soon. PENNSYLVANIA OFFICIAL VOTE The complete official vote of Penn sylvania at the late election amounts to 874,783; being an increase on the vote of 1876 of the large amount of 115,790. Garfield electors received 444,704; Hancock's 407,428; Wea ver's (Grenback) 20,068 ; Dow, (Tem perance) 1,939. Garfield over Han cock, 37,276 ; over all, 14,625. OONOBB3BIONAL APPORTION MENT. Under the law a new apportionment of Representatives in Coiigressmay be made at the the coming session of Con gress, this winter. Whether or not this may be done will depend on whether tbe late Census is in such completed shape as to be reported to that body. If so completed the pres ent Congress will have the pow. r to act in tbe matter. This action will consist mainly in fixing the ratio of future representation; that is, what □ umber of population it will establish for a member. Tbe present ratio is 131,425 citizens, or population to a member, which made Congress, since the last apportionment under the Cen sus of 1870, consistsof 293 members. If this number of members is still retain ed, the next ratio for a member, it is stated, will lie about 170,000 of a pop ulation. This will decrease the num ber of members from some States and enlarge it in others. The Western States will train some members and the ! X .rthero and Eastern ones lose some. Pennsylvania would luse two in num ber. This will require a remodeling of the districts of this St'.<te. and an en largement of most of them This re modeling has to be done by the State Legislatures, which can only act on the same this winter if Congress suc ceeds in first fixing the ratio, which determines the number of the members. If Congress does not, this winter, so fix the future number of its body, then the State Legislatures can do nothing this winter. In addition to the new Congressional apportionment, soon to be made, the different States have also to make new apportionments, under the lave Census, for State purposes, to wit: Assemble, State Senators and Judi cial districts. It is supposed that this will l>e done by our Legislature this winter, but not necessarily so, as we understand it. At all events it will depend on whether the lute Cen sus is completed and reported to and approved by Congress at its coming session. THAT CHINESE LETTEA. Shortly before the election a letter was published in Xew \ ork, purport ing to have been written by Gen. Gar field last January, and in which Chi nese labor was favored. Gen. Garfield instantly pronounced it a base forgery, in strong and direct language. Not withstanding bis charge that it was forgery, the Democratic National Com mittee persisted in circulating it and claiming it was genuine. \V itnesses were procured by them and induced to swear to facts, going to show that it was geriine. These witnesses were immediately arrested by the Republi cans for perjury. The principal ones of them then confessed their perjury and implicated leading Democrats in hiring them to commit it. And thus they are exposed. To defeat they have added what is worse—dishonor and disgrace. The so-called Chinese labor letter is proven now to have been a base forgery, and leading Dem ocrats of the country stand in a very unenviable position before the country. Verily "honesty is the best policy," in politics, as well as in everytLing eUe. UNITED STATES SENATOR. The Allegheny Evening Mail, in an able article, favors Hon. Thomas M. Bayne for United States Senator. Col. Bayne at present represents tb-i north ern district of Allegheny county in Congress composed in part of Alle gheny city, and is therefore nearer to us than any candidate yet named out side of this county. He has made a record in Congress that is attracting attention and is regarded as one of the most promising and rising public men of this State. He is able, reliable and deserving, and we do not think strange that his constituents, who are justly prou i of him, are pressing him for ward. There are other names mentioned in the western part of the State, among them Col. Thompson of this county, who was recommeudcd by our last County Convention, and who our members in the coining Legislature will of course give their first support to and aid in all honorable ways pos sible. Judge Agnew has also many friends in this county for the Senator ship, and if he should consent to accept tbe place, and should he be chosen, we would have a Senator of such charac ter and ability that the whole State could be proud of. Lieut. Gov Stone, of Warren county, has also friends here who would like to see him ad vanced. There are also others in the Western part of the State spoken of. Outside of what may be termed the western part there is no name more frequently mentioned, aor any man that has the friends here that Hon. Galusha A. Grow has for tbe coining Senatorsbip In fact many of the west' ern counties have already instructed for him, among them tbe strong counties of Mercer, Crawford, Erie, Lawrence, Venango, etc. He is the favorite of all tho Northern tier of counties from McKeau to Susquehanna, aud of many in the middle ami eastern parts of the State. It is claimed that he, by rea son of his great services and ability, deserves the Senatorsbip and should now have it. It is a choice gift of the party and should always lie filled by a man of decided ability and unques tioned good character. THE GON<3RES3iONAtj RESULT.

This week's CITIZEN commences a new volume, being No. 1, of Vol 18. It is therefore entering upon its eigh teenth year. We have been connected with it since April 1869, eleven years ago, la-t April. Its circulation now in the county is almost three times that it »vas whi nwe purchased it. It is our intention to still enlarge the circle of its readers, and to that end we invito the co-operation of all friends- During the time we have been editing it we have passed through some excit ing and important contests, both local and general, in all of which we have the satisfaction of knowing that we supported the honest and the right cause and candidates. Where we have seen an attempt to use the fair nanv: of tbe Republican party, and turn it to a corrupt or sellish purpose, we have felt it a duty to speak out and spare not. We have stood up for that party in this county, and between it and bail men, whenever ami wbere evcr we have seeu a proper and neces sary occasion so to do. For this we have, of course, incurred the ill-will of some. But this will not deter us in the futu-e from standing by and up holding the honest man and the just cause, now demanded more than ever. And in this we know that we have with us the oid and the reliable mem boas of the party in the e junty and all its uuseitisb supporter. NOW THE TIME TO SUBSCRIBE. This is the time of year—commencing of winter—that subscriptions are gen erally made or renewed. As the CITI ZEN' is now entering a new year we will be thankful to all our Iriends for any and all efforts tljoy may make to increase its circulation in their neigh borhood* and townships. Their aid in this direction wiil be duty appreciated and remembered. Friends sending lists of new subscribers will be; speci ally remembered. Hut each reader or friend can send oiw yn'w vum e, by a little effort, »nd we a*k them to make the trial, and hopelo b/'?ir from them soon. The price is but $1.50, uftid ituti of all postage. We will send it from now to January 1, 1882, for that sum, paid before the first of January, coming. THAT GRVHU MAT ±J HUNT. Seeing our name in the list of officer* of the "(jiraud Match Hunt", that came off on Friday last, between tho "Dan. Boons," (Japt. W. C. Thompson, and the "Davy Oroclfi ts," Capt. iv. C. McAboy, :• II ol this place, y/u ventured to the Willard House, about 10 o'clock jri the evening of that day, and there found that c*eelh;ut l/otel filled with men, pheasants, rabbits, soyirreld, etc., etc. The hunters hail all returned well loaded with game. There wertj no accidents or serious disputes. In fact it wus a very orderly and quiet occasion, and in this respect quite iu couUkwl with some old-time hunts we have witnessed. The Crockets, Capt. MeA boy's side, were declared the win. Hers, and the Boons paid for the sup per, This was very good ,g tten up iu the best styie by the clever keeper of the Willard House, Mr George W. Campbell. About sixty, we believe, sat down to supper If we knew exactly how "to write up" art affair of this kind perhaps we might do it. But, with the change ! of times the game of this county has changed, <>r rather much of ii has dis appeared altogether. There are now 110 bears, or deer, or even many wild tur keys here. These, in past years, made the hunts exciting. We have ] not heard of a fox hunt for some years ; past, yet there are some very sly foxes j still about. As to the coons, the Re- j publicans had gathered them all up be fore the late election, and hence not many were to be lound on last Friday. Rabbits, squirrels, pheasants and par tridges, (quails, as they are called oth er places), are about all that are left us in this county. Like the Indians, all others have receded as the white man has advanced, and we suppose, it will not be many years mure until what we have left will grow less in num ber. . PETROLIA'S DISASTER A fire in Petrolia last week, being her secoud affliction almost within a year past, has called out the sympa thy of all who know the energetic and spirit that has all along characterized her citizens. A writer to the Titusville Herald of the 11th inst., refers to Petrolia's late fire as follows : "from the years '74 to '76, Petrolia was in the height of her glory, and it must be said that she has enjoyed the full tide of prosperity, which, in times gone by, swept over that portion of the oil country known as the Butler county oil fields. IJut has also met her share of disaster, both by fire and fiuod. About the month of August, '?9, the Oil Exchange, together with all 1 the block in which it stood, was swept away by fire, while both before and after fires have been sufficiently numerous to satisfy even u Ji VP oil town, such, indeed, as Petrolia has always been, even in the midst of the eclipse that Bradford has thrown over the several other towns contiguous to her in various directions." It is likely the burned district will not be rebuilt again. John Lewis' Market; Orwig'sPa nt Store; I?lvr}iiller'» Hotel, origin of fire; United Pipe I/inp QHice j Backus' Hardware; Argyie .Saving Hank; Benedict's Dry (joods; Post Office and Old Oil Exchange, are the buildings burned or damaged y the lire in Pe trolia last week.

Half the town has been destroyed and half of the population rendered houie leci the poorer classes being encamp ed in fcbeds. A panic prevails. A Town Shudd in Terror. ERIK, PA., NOV. 13. —This city is in a great state of excitement owing to the imminent danger of a fearful ex plosion of nitroglycerine, which may occur at any moment. Tl)e schooner George Mobery, from Quebec, loaded with twenty tons of the explosive com pound, put into this port from stress of weather Thursday night. She has since draged her anchors, and is now aground on sunken pier, upon which she is beating with gn nt violence. Efforts were made to get her off yes. terday, hut without success. It is dif ficult to estimate the damage to life or property that might ensue In the event of an explosion. There is about five leet of water in her. Census Woric. WASHINGTON, November 12. —Sn- perintendent Wali.er says that the work of compilation of the results of the labors of the enumerators has sui ficieutly advanced, especially with reference to population, to enable him tu say with perfect safety that this branch of the labor of his office will be completed by January 1-t. The sta tistics ol population will be in such shape that, should Congress determine to revise the apportionment of repre sentatives oh the ceiiogs of HfiO, he can furnish authoritative informa tion concerning every portion of the country to the committee charged with this subject. The work of revision, he says now going on in St. Louis, under the auspices of the people's committee, will not- l!)akc any material delay, as he anticipates from prof. Woodward such an active performance of his work that the returns will be completed and submitted to the chief office within thirty days There are other locali ties of minor importance which have been reviewed bv *peoial agents, bijt returns in these have been made, leav ing St. Louis the only point in the United Stutes not yet finally disposed of. Wit respect to enumeration, rep resentatives from different sections in the northwest and south have been in correspondence with the c«.tioij3 office and members of the Census Commit; tee, urging a disposition of the new apportionment at the approaching ses sion of Congress, on the ground that in all the States holding biennial ses sions the legislatures will be in session [or an adjustment of their districts for the pwrpo.o of national representation to the new ratio, that may be. This question is bound to excite considerable discussion. The House, With its present t wo hundred and nine: ty-thrue rept'Csentatiyes, has some times been regarded a- ijnvvieldly for . the prompt disputeh of public buoiiii-sy, and repeated intimations have been giveu by the leaders on both sides of a purpose to reduce the aggregate rep rescntation by increasing the rat o. Tim minimum number suggested is two hundred unit foyty, and the maxi mum the present figure, and i»i; in crease of the ratio so us not to mate rially change the representation in the Slatjus where the ponuhil ou lias kept pace with the progress of yogi's, and only reducing it in :>u< h portions of country wh ru development has kept le s rapid pace and consequently pre sents less important consideration* for even the present ratio. In the States wnere the interests are import- j ant it is claimed the representation should practically remain unchanged, taking tfie loss 'relatively o!}' sections where the population is sparse and scattered aud industry mote ddl'used. . Preaident--oleot Garfield's Inten tion. a ] WASHINGTON, NOV. 9. —It is not j likely th.it Gen. Garfield will resume j bis seat in the H.»usc next winter, but 1 will remain away from Washington until a few days prior to the time fixed for his inauguration as President of the United States. It does not follow, however, that he will resigu bis seat in the House. When Mr. Wheeler was elected Vice President he was a member of the Fourty-fourth Con-1 gress, and continued his membership until the close of that Congress, al- ! though he did not resume his seat in | Congress after his election to the \ ice : Presidency. In addition to being a i member ot the present Congress, (.Jen. Garfield has been chosen to the Forty seventh Congress to represent Ohio in the Senate, and his credentials as Sen ator-elect are now 011 the tile of that body. His resignation of his commis sion will be placed in the bauds of Gov. Foster in time to enable the Ohio Legislature to choose another succes sor for the vacancy which will be caused by the expiration of Seuator Tiiurman's term of oftice.
