H. MILLER, of Mercer, and now our member in Congress, was at the inauguration of President Garfield, last week. We see it stated that he expresses the opinion that our new Pres ident has shown his well known good common sense in the selection of his Cabinet, and that the selections are all favorably received by the country. THE producers generally arc oppos ing tbe bill introduced in tbejState Sen ate relative to the mode of issuing" cer tificates to them for oil in tanks, while the refioers are favoring it. The Oil Exchange, of Pittsburgh, last week, held a meeting and remonstrated against the bill. We do not know bow the bill might affect the producers of this county MR. ALFRED MCKARNS. a former cit izen of this place, died at his present residence, near New Castle, Lawrence county, Pa., on Friday last, 4th inst, at the age of 67 years. Mr. McKarns was an extensive manufacturer of wool len goods when here, and was more re cently engaged in the manufacture of paper and flour-sacks. He was an enterprising and useful man. CHANGING THE NEW TESTAMENT Some gentlemen in England and the United States have beeu engaged for some time past in revising the Now Testament. It is not our purpose to give any opinion at present on the property of the movement, but merely to give our readers some extracts from advanced copies of tbe revised version. On our fourth page under the head of "New Testament Changes" will be found some of the revised passages showing tbo changes made. AFTER the newly elected Constables had been sworn in on Monday last Judge McJunkin took occasion to give some instruction or information, as to their duties in the matter of making their returns to the Court. He inform ed them that they could not relieve themselves from making returns from the mere fact that they had not knowl edge of their own, but that if they bad a good belief that the law was being violated in any place, or in any respect, they were bound to make a return to Court on that reasonable belief, and not wait until tbey bad absolute knowl edge of the fact from others. COURT. —The attendance at Court this week has been rather larger than usual, owing perbaps-to several causes. Some expected the Millerstown homi cide case to be tried. This case is be fore the Grand Jury for the finding of a bill and cannot be tried before next week, if then. The applications for li censes come up to-day (Wednesday). This has brought many to town. Then many of the candidates for nomination this year are present, making them selves known. The proceedings of Court, both this week and next, will be interesting. Judge McJunkin is presiding, with Associates Storey and McCandless on the bench. HON. WILLIAM P. BRAIIAM, stopped over at this place for a short time last Monday on his return to Harrisburg, from a brief visit to his home. Beiug Court week a good many people were in town and we but speak the general sentiment when we say that no repre sentative could have been more cordi ally taken by the hand than was Mr. Brabam. The Republicans present were glad to sec him and to say to birn, "well done, good and faithful ser vant." The congratulations extended to him were hearty and sincere, and Mr. Brabam returns to his post with the satisfaction of knowing that bis course so far at Harrisburg meets the very general approbation of bis con stituents. Garfield at Church. MENTOR, February 27 —General Gen. Garfield's last Sunday in Mentor was very quiet and restful. In the morning he and Mrs. Garfield attended public worship in the Disciple Church of the village. No allusion was made in the sermon to the President-elect, ** but in the closing prayer the minister mentioned bim and bis wife by name and invoked the Divine blessing on tbem in a simple aed earnest petition. The Lord's Supper was observed ac cording to the custom o: the Disciples, and when all the services were con cluded all the members of the Church gathered around General and Mrs. Garfield and bade tbem an affectionate farewell. There were m ny kind words and many tears and the scene was very impressive, on account of the simple and heartfelt expression of Christian friendship. —The musical entertainment given at the Court House, on Tuesday even ing, by the members of the Butler Con servatory of Music —for the benefit of the Presbyterian church —was as inter esting as novel in some of its leatures. . Some characters, new to our citizens at such entertainments, made their tirt>t appearance aqd were received with *ppl&Uß& THE NEW CABINET. The following are the name 3 of the heads of the different departments at Washington, as nominated by Presi dent Garfield and confirmed by the Senate in executive session last Satur-. dav: James G. Blaine, of Maine. Secretary of State. William Windom, of Minnesota, Sec retary of the Treasury. Wayne McVeagh ,of Pennsylvania, Attoruey General. '• bomas L. James, of New i ork, Postmaster General. Samuel J. Kirkwood, of lowa, Sec retary of the Interior. Robert T. Lincoln, of Illinois, Sec retary of War. Win. 11. Hunt, of Louisiana, Secre tary of the Navy. The above are all well-known Re publicans and the Cabinet is consid ered a good one James G. Maine, who is at its head, is too well known to need any information as to bim. Mr. Windom, for the important post of the Treasury, has been a Senator from the State of Minnesota for some years past and is a man of ability. Mr. Kirk wood, who is called to the head of the Interior Department, has been a Sena tor from lowa, and is a good man. Rober. T Lincoln, for Secretary of War is a son of ex-President Lincoln, and his appointment is a graceful compli ment to the memory aud services of that great and good man Judge Hunt, for the Navy Department, was a loyal Southern man during the rebellion and his selection, as the representative of the Southern States, is regarded as a proper on?. ayne eagb, for Attorney General, and the legal advi ser of the Government,represents Penn sylvania, and no better man could have been called to honor our State. He is an honest and fearless defender of the right, and will make an able member of President Garfield's Cabinet. I h »s. L James, t'e new Postmaster General, represents the great State of New \ ork. Ue is a man of large experience and fair ability, and will doubtless also give general satisfaction. SENATOR MITCHELL. The Wellsboro, Tioga County, Agi tator, of the Ist inst., tbe organ of the Republicans of that staunch Repub lican county, and a paper which the new Senator him-elf edited some years ago, thus settles his political position. MR. MITCHELL'S POLITICAL POSITION. Our Tioga county readers know very well what manner of man Mr. Mitchell is, l oth personally and politically. Dur ing tbe nine years of bis continuous service as their Representative they have learned to appreciate his ability and puiity as a man and bis industry, independence and integrity as a legisla tor. They well know that during bis public life he has never shi ked any responsibility pertaining to his posit ion ; never failed to take a prompt and decided stand on any issue, and never faltered in asserting and upholding the rights and interests of his constituents and the true principles of the Repub lican party, regardless of dictation from anv source witl.'in the party or without it." In short, they know that he is no man's man, and tuat the only serv ice he has ever entered is thatol the whole bodv of his constituency Hut there are some people ou-side the county who may be deceived bv tbe current assertion of a fe.v of the machine organs /o the effect that the new Senator is a ' ( Cameron man. One of the most servile tools of the late unlamented "machine" goes so far as to claim that he must be a Cameron ma'! because nobody but a Cameron could be elected iu Tioga county! If th» reader will recall the facts that Senator Emery and Representatives Nilos and Tubbs have just received beavv majorities iu Tioga county and that the Republicans of the county were practically" unanimous in indorsinc Mr Grow for Senator, he will be able to appreciate the stupendous propor tions of this machine whopper. Xo man at all actjnaiuU'd with Pennsyl vania politics needs to be told that Tioga is as far as possible from being a "Cameron county" Tbe Republi cans of this county are "stalwarts' in the true sense of the word. They do their own thinking and their own vot ing. They believe thoroughly in the principles of the party, and they bow down to no ."boss, ' big or little. And the fact that John I. Mitchell is a man wb'wu they have delighted to honor— a man whom they have indorsed no less times within the last ten years—is pretty strong evidence that tbe new Seuator is the servant of no "boss." Mr Mitchell's career in the Legisla ture, where for two years he was the leader of the House and where one of bis most intimate and trusted friends -vas Mr. Wolfe, sufficiently attests the fact that he is an independent self reliant thinker and actor in political affairs. And at Washington he has been equally independent if the ma chine. After the machine had been made to grind out an anti-Blaine del egation to the Chicago Convention last year, Mr Mitchell became the active representative in the Congressional Blaine Club of the true sentiment of the great mass of Pennsylvania Re publicans. And when the Republicans of Tioga county, feeling outraged by the action of the machine at the State Convention in imposing upon tbem delegates to Chicago who utterly mis represented the district, held a conven tion to denounce and repudiate that action, Mr. Mitchell wrote a strong letter condemning the position of the "bosses." We quote a few significant sentences from that letter, which bears date March 19, 1830. The reader will recollect that the managers of the ma chine then claimed that the State Con vention had authority to appoint and instruct district delegates. In direct opposition to this claim Mr. Mitchell then wrote, — I am firm in the belief that each Con gregional district has the unquestiona ble right to choose and instruct its own delegates to the National Convention, aud that no State Convention can de prive it of this right, if insisted upon by the Kapnblican.party of'he district 'n question. Therefore I conclude that the attempt Uy the, Harrisburg Conven tion to override the plainly apparent wfebW Of tW Rfeptiblftka wtoftcS, by, 81 title* v£ifc***« J lltttter, P«., 3sa*xtr 8»_I8SL instructing district delegates to vote at Chicago for a candidate not the choice of the Republican people whom they should in good faith represent, is a plain and inexcusable usurpation, and of no effect, unless ratified by positive action or confirmed by quiescent con sent of the district. | The delegates of each district ought, ; in common honesty, to vote for the . candidate for the President whose nom ination will be most acceptable to a majority of the Republicans of the dis trict which they represent THE IN AUGUR «TION. Now National Government Sworn I a 7t rained and snowed in Washington all last Thursday Might and up o ten o'clock on Friday morning, when the skies cleared. All Washington was out at an early hour notwithstanding the storm, and men, wointn and children were hurry ing through the snow ami slush from e verv direction, all intent on reaching Pennsylvania avenue to witness the in augural procession, or to the Capitol, to be present at the ceremonies to take place there. During the entire night trains laden with military and civilians arrived aud continued throughout the morning to p >ur their living freight into the streets of the city. The stands erected at various points are capable of seating 25,000 people, and every seat has been sold. THE I'KOCESSION TO THE CAPITOL. The variousdivisions marched along the avenue according to programme, and at 11:30 the head of th<* procession passing around the south wing reach ed the eastern front of the Capitol. The Presidential carriage was driven to the lower entrance of the Senate wing and the President elect aud Senators Pen dleton and Thurman entered the build ing and proceed-.-d to the \ ice Presi dent's room, where they remained till 12 o'clock. As early as 10 o'clock the crowds b"gaii to assemble in front of the platform erected over the step leading to the main entrance, and at 12 o'clock it was estimated that 50 000 people were massed in front of the build iug. ENTRANCE OF DIGNITARIES. Tiie routine business of the Somite, proceeded till about 11:30, when the diplomatic corps appeared at the main entrance, and at once attracted univer sal notice as they tiled down the centre ui.-le in their gorgeous court costumes, resplendent with gold and silver em broidery and glittering with decora tions. Sir Edward Thornton headed the corps as its dean. The I* rench, Italian and German Ministers followed; then came the Turkish Minister, wear ing his red fez, aud still more conspicu ously attired, tie full Chinese legatiou next appeared and afforded a fresh to pic for a buzz of comment in the galle ries alike for their grave demeanor and their red-button Mandarin bats and peacock 'eatheis. A few minutes afterwards the Su preme Court of the United States was announced, and tbe .Justices, headed by Chief Justice Waite and clad in their robes of office, entered tbe cham ber and marching slowly down the centre aisle took tbe seats prepared for them iu front of and facing the rostrum. Ex-Justiees Swayne and Strong also entered with their former colleagues. Shortly before 12 j'elock General Garfield and President Haves entered the chamber arm in arm escorted by Senators Pendleton, Anthony and Bay ard, the Committee on AIT. ngemeitts, and followed by all the members of the Cabinet. As they proceeded down the aisle to the seats reserved for them, the Senators anil all other occupants of the floor rose and remained standing until they had taken their seats. The gall-ries applauded by clapping of hands and waving of handkerchiefs. THE INAUGURATION CEREMONIES. The Vice President announced that the Sergeant-at-Arms would now exe cute the order of the Senate relative to the inaugural ceremonies of the Presi dent of the United States. The gra'id procession then formed and proceeded to the east front ot the Capitol. A proeession was accordingly formed and all the occupants of the ll > >r of the Senate proceeded through the corridors and rotunda to the place indicated, in the following order: The Marshal of the United States Supreme Court and the Marshal of the District of Colum bia Supreme Court, the Committee of Arrangement and Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate, the President and Vice President elect, General Arthur and Mr. Wheeler and members of the Sen ate, diplomatic corps, heads of depart ments, members of the House of Rep resentatives and members elect. Gov ernors and ex-Governors of States, of ficers of the Senate and officers of the House At half-past twelve the President reached his place at the front of the new temporary platform and took a seat with Chief Justice Waite on li's right and ex-President Hayes on his left, I with Senators Pendleton, Anthony and Bayard, while immediately behind sat his mother, Mrs. Garfield, Mrs. Hayes, and Vice President Arthur. TIIE INAUGURAL ADDRESS. At 12:35 Senator Pendleton arose and introduced General Garfield, who then delivered his inaugural address. The address was delivered with un covered head, in a clear, distinct and calm voice, and was plainly heard by every one on the stand and for a long distance on every side. The delivery of the message occupied thirty-five min utes. At its conclusion, the cheering was long continued and enthusiastic. TIIE OATH ADMINISTERED. Chief Justice Waite then adminis tered the usual oath to which Garfield responded with reverential fervor. Kx- President Hayes immediately pressed forward and congratulated his succes sor, and after him the president's moth er and wife, both of whom l;e saluted with a kiss. A general scene of con gratulation and handshaking ensued, afl*-r which the Presidential party de scended from the phtforn) by a private staircase ami proceeded to the Presi dent's room in rear of the Senate cham ber, where a formal reception U-ok place At 1:30 the party, entering tueir carriages, were driven to their places in the procession, which at 1;40 started on its return to the White House.

The correspondent of The London Times with General Colley's force at Spitzkop gives the following account of lie engagement: Spitzkop is abont 3,000 yards from the Boer position. Two companies wore left at the base of the hill. The j remainder oft he troops toiled up the hill, which is very steep and difficult of ascent, on their hinds and knees. It was impossible to have carried up even mountain guns- Had we had these the result might have been dif-; ferent. The whole force reached the ! summit of the hill befare daylight, and at about 5 a. m. began firing. The Boers had uo videttes posted and were completely surprised, hut they prompt ly returned the fire. Our men had little cover, though somewhat better than tiiat at the Ingago River. 1 estimate the number of fliers at tlit? base of the hill at about 2,000. Up to midday their loss was certainly heavier /han ours General C"lley wasoonspictt >us for his coolness and courage. He kept up constant communication with the camp by signal. Shortly after noon the B >er lire, which had heretofore averaged about fifty shots a minute, increased to a terrific volley. Onr men were unable to withstand it. I h-.-j wavered and were rallied. Ihe wa vered again, and ran in a general k aure qui pfut. The Boers climbed to the summit of the hill, and followed them wth a terrible fire as thev fled down the other side. Talis Wi h Fr sider.t Hayes. WASIU NUTON. March —A reporter called on President liayes this morn ing in order to definitely ascertain the future movements of the out-going Ex ecutive. In response to a cjuery w bctli er he wouid t ike up his resilience in Cincinnati. Pros';.lent Hayes said : 'No, uo, I shall tro l.aek to fcreinont, the home of my boyhood, the place wlnfe IIIV children W. I'eb .rn airl h ivo grow :i u ; i; the place that 1 have zd as home all my life, and settle d >w;i there again. That I feel to he really HIV houie, and am probably better content there. I have warm personal friends there, and the members of my family are much attached to the place They alwavs speak of it as hoiue, and my children always say they prefer_Frc* merit to any other place. Often, in speaking of their old home, and the pleasure they anticipate in a return to it, we ask them if they prefer it to Washington, and their invariable an swer is that they do.' 'Yet your stay in Washington, Mr. President, bus been a very pleasant one?' 'Very pleasant, indeed, said the President, leaning baek and reflectively stroking his long beard which, bv the the way, is much more tinged with gray than it"was Tour years ago. 'Yes, we have enjoyed our stay here very much. Society here is pleasant, and the social requirement-' as regard the President and his family not so exacting as to rend r this feature of the President's duties unpleasant. Of course there arc hours when there are, as you have seen this morning many callers, and the duties—social and official—are press ing, but in the sense in which I have spoken our stay here has been very pleasant.' 'And you will carry away with you many pie Bant memories of the posi tion "you are about to relinquish, Mr. President?' 'Yes, very many. There are many pleasant incidents <>f my life here which I I shall always cherish. Yet we sh;tll i all be glad to see our old home and friends in Ohio again ' 'And when do you go, Mr. Presi dent?' 'On Saturday next,' was the answer. 'Good morning, Senator,' sa'd he as ' the door opened and Senator Logan, of Illinois, entered with a friend 'On Saturday we bid good-by to Washing ton.'and with a bow and a smile, liiin ! gled with just a shadow of madness, he said the customary 'Good day.' WUKELEK'S PLANS. Vice President Wheeler, in conver sation with your correspondent, speak i ing of his retirement from office and fu i ture movements, said : 'I have one consolation, and that is, I now count the hours when I retire from public service. 1 have interests at home which have suffered, and at best i he duties of the past four years have been irksome. It vvill be a hap py day f >r me when i can feel myself free fcom official bondage. | Correspondent —I presume you will remain in the city? Mr. Wheeler—'Xo, I will not, I will go South very soon after the inaugura tion and spend perhaps six weeks iu Florida and the gulf States. At my home the weather is cold and unpleas ant until the end of April, and there is no necessity of reaching home before then. Malone, where I live, is one of ' the most delightful places in New York, but the winds sweeping down the valley of the St. Lawrence, sixty miles of which I can see up and down from my house, make the cli mate trying at that season to men of r>y years ' I Correspondent—How do you expect to occupy your time in retirement i 'Mr. Wheeler—'Well, you see, I am ! puardian for a great many young peo ple anil that requires much attention, ; and il must look after their affairs. At i ter U ge* them in shape 1 intend to spend some months in Kuropc.' , Correspondent—Such a faithful pub lic servant as you have been deserves comfort In his retirement. 'Well, Inm comfortable. lam not | verv rich, but I have u competence. Some thirty years ago I went into |»<»1- j itice, and as a young man represented ! mv district in the State Ijegi*la'"re fop a couple of years. I soon found out that polities was a losing investment of time. So I made up mV mind that It was not my mission to lead the life of a political pauper. Accordi igly I dropped polities and devoted myself to more useful and productive pursuits. ; When i /bit I could be independent of a living out of politics I finally acqui esced in the oft repeated wishes? ol n,y friends and returned to politics. An other twenty-four hours will end my connection with office and politics.'
