THE Receipts and Expenditures of the coanty for the past year, as made out by the County Auditors, appear this week. Their publication prevents the appearance of much other matter. S. C. T. DODD, Esq., one of the leading attorneys of the \ enango county Bar, is about to remove to New York City, to act as attorney of the Standard Oil Company. His salary is to be $12,000 a year, for at least six years. THE names of Thompson of Arm strong county, of the House, and Greer of the Senat?, appearon the side of Cameron for the United States Sena torship, or what is commonly called the Pennsylvania ring. Make a note of it— Parker Phoenix, Jan. 21. Boss CAMERON has been and is now daily overshadowed and humiliated in the Senate by the presence of Mr. Wal lace, who is a man of ability. Boss Cameron wants a colleague as igno rant, as unfit as himself, and looking over the field of aspirants for such a one be selected "Harry" Oliver.— Evening Telegraph, Rep. A CORRESPONDENT complains of the barsh remarks of the Herald of this place towards Gen. R. K. Scott, late Governor of South Carolina, and who has been very unfortunate at Napoleon, Ohio. The ex-Governor has friends in this and Armstrong counties who feel agrieved at such treatment. Want of space prevents the articles sent by our friend from appeariog. As to what will be the outcome and influence of this independent move ment we will not discuss at this time. We believe it will result in placing our party politics upon a higher plane and in developing and bringing out talent in our ranks worthy of the second State in the Union, which the present management has effectually counted out and suppressed.— Scranton Repub lican, Rep. WE hope the Grow men who have refused to fall into the caucus trap set by Cameron will decline any*compro mise that will look toward the contin uance of the Cameron dictation. If the Republicans of a great State like thin cannot organize without the leadership of Don Cameron, who has insulted the voters of the party and is wholly and only a selfish and tyrannical autocrat, tbey bad better disband.— Eaxlon Fr?e Press, Rep. MB. BELL of this county continues to Tote in the Legislature for the ma chine candidate for United States Senator, notwithstanding the declara tions be made to several of his con stituents that he would not so vote, and notwithstanding the nearly unani mous opinion of the Republicans of the county that be should not so vote. That Mt. Brabam, our other member, represents tbe general sentiment of the county on the pending Senator elec tion there is not tbe shadow of a doubt. Afl between Mr. Grow and Mr. Oliver for Senator, from all we hear, nine tenths of our Republicans are in favor of Mr. Grow. KBV. BITIINOBB'S lecture in the Court House on Monday evening laat wag full of interest on the subject of early child training. Tbe "Kindergar ten" as established and used in Germa ny «nd proposed to be introduced in this Country, has for its object, as ex plained by REV. Bittinoeb, the prop er employment of tbe rniuds of children while of too tender years to be sent to school. It is based on a system of ob ject teaching and if practiced in every home would certainly be productive of good results. While it is difficult to see how tbe Kindergarten, or child's garden, eould be successfully operated io schools with children so young as three or four years of age, yet it could be by parents at their homes, and it seems to us therefore a step in educa tion in the right direction ior young rbildren. NO SENATOd YET. Up to yesterday fourteen ballots wore taken in the Legislature fo* Unit ed States Senator without a choice being made. Mr. Grow not only bold* bis firßt vete but has increased on the same. In tbe vote of last Saturday there were but six ot a difference be tween him and Oliver. Oliver's vote has fallen off considerably from that 6rst received by biru. The only thing that Bwems certain is that he cannot be elected. The Democrats so far bold off and vote for their own man. If they continue to do so tbe Republicans wil bave to unite on a compromise man or there will be no election this session. It is rumored tbe machine men will endeavor to have an adjournment of tbe Legislature before tbe 4th of March, so as to give the Governor the power to appoint a Senator when they hope to get Oliver appointed. But this is not likely to succeed. It is more likely a new man will lie settled upon by the Republicans, and tbe hope of ail U that be may Us a ituotl aud a Drift MR. A. FLKEOEB has been appointed pastinaster at Mdlerstown, this county, to succeed Mr. McLaughlin. S RINQ tLE^riONS. As the spring elections in the vari ous towns and townships of this coun tv are soon to take place, we would direct the attention of all tax payers to the wisdom of having good officers elected as a general thing, and particu larly the necessity of good assessors being chosen. The assessments made by the different assessors are really the foundation of all our taxation and if carefully and correctly made will 6ave us of all trouble in the future. In view of past experience in this matter we have no doubt great care will be taken this year in the selection and election of the different assessors througout the county. POWER THE MACHINE. A most stri .iug eximple ofthe pow er of the machine at Harrisburg was witnessed in our Court last week. The Hon. John M. Greer, State Senator* for this and Armstrong counties, not find ing enough to engage his time and at tention at the seat of government,in ma turing laws and looking after theintei ests of his constituents, came home here to take part in the trial of ca-es He had just got fairly into a eaae when a dispatch came to him from the "boss" of the machine at Harrisburg, com manding him to return immediately. There was a scare among the Oliver patriots, and he was needed. He left ou the first train in obedience to the order. No magic could have worked more mysteriously. The machine says to one, as to its slave, " go and he goeth and to another come and he cometh." Its subjects can have no release from it when once in its power. But there is another view of this matter. A Senator and Representative recieve ten dollar* a day for each and every day of a session. For what ? For attending to their duties as mem bers, of course. How can a member at tend to them and be at home half his time attending to his private business ? He cannot do soonly by neglecting the public business be was elected to, and is paid for and was sworn to attend to. If there was any scarcity of attorneys at our Bar there might be somo excuse for Mr Greer neglecting his duties and attending to bis private interest. But, as we all know, the Bar of this county is well stocked with attorneys just now, who are ab'e and willing to attend to all business in that line The fact of a legislator taking the public money, and not attending to the public interest is in the highest degree dishonorable and is creating much comment n our coin munitv. We refer to the case here at the request of many citizens. The practice should- be put an end to at once. LST THE PEDPLE ELECT. Hon. Harry White, in Congress, de serves the thanks of all people and parties for introducing the subject of a change in the United States Constitu tion. so that United States Senators shall be elected by the people. The time is ripe for this change. The peo ple of Pennsylvania will hail itas a great deliverance. This high office, equal only to the Presidency in ouropitiion, is, we can almost say, now bought and sold in nearly every State of" the Union. This results from the fact that they are elected by a few men, the members of the Legislature, and the temptation is great to make money or procure places for themselves or friends for their votes- Many of them are unacquainted with the candidates and care but little who is chosen. Hence, when it becomes known that a candidate u rich and is willing to spend money, he will always have followers and votes. Indeed, it is often the c se thct rich men are pur posely solicited to become candidates for that high office in order that they may be plucked of some of them feather-. There have been cases in Pennsylvania of this kind, auditis insisted by in my that that is what brought out and is keeping Mr. Oliver, of Pittsburgh, in the field now. Were he not a wealthy man bis name probably would never have been thought of, neither by him self or his friends. We presume tLit; will be admitted. The principal claim made for him is that of spending freely and giving liberally to campaign funds at the last election. And it is possible that those who at Uarribburg are now running the "machine" for him are do ing so for their own gain and bis certain loss. One thing is certain, money uow overtops ability ' n the selection of United States Senator*. A" this will be remedied if the people ham the tslea. ting of them. We hope Gen. White will press on his resolution with all possible speed. The Legislatures of the States are now generally iu session and uow would be a most favorable time for Congress to pass and send the proposed change to then) for their ap proval. And we have no doubt the proposed change w >uld bj approved. No honest member of the Legislature would think of opposing the change, but on the contrary would gladly be relieved of tbiit d(Jtv. The dishonest member and the ring men who run the machine to run out the man for United States Senator who give* them the most money, they of course would ojf pose the change Will Congress act on this important matter by passing the resolution providing for a change in the Constitution and giving the elec tion of said Senator# to ii.t; people '. Sooner or later it muni come to that. The following is the amendment pro p jsed by Gen. White's resoluticn : Resolve I, By the Senate and House of Lleiirobentauves ol the United {Mates o (AWW WOVu o *rtAfc ' Cifcia***: JintJUe, s*«.. iFWkirttajeg I^Bl. thirds of each House concurring there in), That the following is hereby pro , posed as an amendment to the Constitu | tion of the United States, and when rat | ified by the legislatures of three-fourths : ofthe several States shall be valid to all intents and purposes as a part of the Constitution, to wit: ARTICLE —That so much of section, three, article one, of the Constitution ofthe United States as provides that i "the Senate of the United States shall j be composed of two Senators from each j State, chosen by the legislatures thereof for six vears," shall be so altered and | amended as to read: "The Senate of the j United States shall be composed of two , Sena orsfrom each State, chosen by the | people thereof; and the electors shall ! have the same qualifications requisite for electors ofthe most numerous branch of the State legislature. "TIIF United States Senatorship of i this state, is still undecided. The ring | holds out tenaciously and it is rumored will offer inducements to the Democrats to come over and help them. The Grow faction are steadily gaining ground, both in nunil>erand public opinion, and rea'ly h >!d the key to the situation The latter party forwarded to the ma chine seven names, all staunch Repub licans, either of whom the Grow faction wili unite with the Cameron faction in electing. The latter section do not wish any other than Oliver, therefore, the end is not yet The membe- from this county, Leo Thompson, f-tiii votes with tne Cameron ling in the House and John M Greer in the Senate. We believe they are the only oil country members who are traveling that way." Our attention was called to the above by several Republicans in the upp'r part of the county who are interested in the oil business. They say that lastsummer,duringthecontest between this county and Armstrong county for the State Senate nomination, they fa vored Mr. Greer 011 the ground of bis professions of friendship for the oil inter ests. They expected him then to vote with the members of the oil country in the Legislature. But so far, as statea by* the Porker Phoenix in the above, he fails HO to vote, but on the contrary votes for United States Senator for a candidate, Mr Oliver, who represents another and a different interest. The consequence is that the oil interests of this county feel much disappointed at what they regard as a betrayal of their expectations Mr. Greer should, re member the influence that helped him in getting a nomination that was ad mitted did not belontr to our county, but that his supposed friendship for the oil interest had much to do in getting. Many in the county now regret their aid towards him, and say they were deceived in the man. PROCEEDING* "I Court L»NI Week. Tebay and Foster, for use of Foster, vs J. W. Reed, John P. Bredin and E.
