BUTLER CITIZEN IQHH H. *■ w". C. HES'-Cy PROTBS. /Entered at the Post office at Butler as eecond~clasßs matter. ~~ THE question of having an extra ses sion of Congress is being discussed. THE Senate of tl c United States was organized last week by the Republi cans. ANOTHi.II supplement to this long winter came ii here on Monday morn ing last. A CHANGE has been made in the post office at New Castle, Pa., Mr. Tid ball, the present incumbent, being re moved and Mr. Agnew appointed TB> Meyersdale, Somerset county, Pa., Commercial, an excellent and ably conducted Republican paper, has pass ed into the hands of Mr. L. A. Smith, the former owners transferring all the stock io the paper to him. , THE absence of Dr. Bell from his Mat in the Legislature is explained by the fact that he has been attending a sick brother at Bradford, which circum stance was not known to us at the time reference was made to said absence. THE English Lutherans of Natrona, ■ below Freeport, have just completed a new church edifice, which speaks well for their good taste and determined zeal in the cause. Rev. Waters of this place will assist at the ceremonial services at the same, which are to take place next Sunday. STATE SENATOR EMERY has introduc ed a bill at Harrisburg providing for the regulation of Pipe Line Companies. It is very stringent in its provisions, requiring full monthly reports of oil on hand, the number and value of each certificate issued and prohibits assess ments for oil destroyed by fire on the "general average" system. THE sale of the New Castle and Franklin Railroad, made from New Castle to Stoneboro, Mercer county, will take place in New Castle on April the 13th, at 1 o'clock, p. M. The sale is made by order of Court, lately held at New Castle by Judge M'Junkin, and in accordance with a petition sign ed by a majority of the stockholders of the road. '•TESTIMONY of the Ages," is the title of a new work which is said to be the ablest corroboration of the histori cal events narrated in the old testament Bible. The author, Bishop Morris, has gone far into the investigation of an cient ruins, coins, etc, for the purpose of confirming the truth of prophecies concerning the same. The work can be had of the Rev. Cronenwett, of this place, who has been requested to act as agent for its introduction in this county. A BILL has been offered in <.he State Senate for another commission, com posed mostly of members of the Legis lature, to revise the revenue laws of this State. Two or three committees of this kind have been gotten up in late years without ever perfecting anything, or even reporting anything in. the way of bettering the taxing system of the State. They have simply been an ex pense. If the tax laws are ever prop erly revised it will have to bo done by competent men appointed for that pur pose. PUESIDENT GARFIELD has decided convictions upon the temperance ques tion. lie says : 'I have been, in my way, and in accordance with my own o.ivbtiom, ai eirnMt alvosite of temperance, not in so narrow a sense as some, but in very definite and prac tical sense. These convictions are deep and will be maintained. Whether I shall be able to meet the views of all the people in regard to all the phases of that question remains to be seen. But I shall do what I can toabate the great evils of intemperauce.' THE first official act Secretary of State BLine was called upon to do, was to bring to the notice of the British Gov ernment the contents of a communica tion made to it by the British Consul at Philadelphia, to the effect that the • hog cholera" existed to a great extent in this country, and that our pork ship ped abroad was or might be diseased. This is an important interest in our j-,resent home and foreign trade, and Secretary Blaine is alive' to the neces sity of defending our swine from such attacks, until at least they can be pro ven true. ABOUT the smallest piece of business we have noticed at Harrisburg this winter, was the expulsion from the floor of the House, last week, of the reporter for the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette. The cause fur this rough treatment was some criticism the reporter m ide in the Commercial Gazelle relative to the ac tion of Speaker Hewitt on the Alle gheny county relief bill, but be that what it may the Speaker adopted a very jawise remedy in asking for the expulsion of a reporter. A Speaker has ample way lor otherwise vindica ting himself. KEY. LLOYD MORGAN, confined in jail at Kittauning,tried toescape on Sat urday night week last. He built a small platform in one of the cells, so as to raise himself to the window, and then threw out all bis clothing and papers, lie next tried to force himself through the window, but the platform gave way and he was compelled to abandon the project. By several papers aud letters of introduction found in his coat, which he had thrown out, it is learned that bis real name is John Steel. It is alleged that he is a relative of Llev. Jones, formerly of thi* place, but mure pcepU/ of tbo poaittatUry. Gov. HOYT, it seems, has removed Mr. Wickersham, the State Superin tendent of our common schools, and up pointed Mr. Higbee, of Franklin county, in his stead. This change was unex pected and from what we learn will he verv generally regretted, as I)r. W iek ersham had obtained a high reputation as an educator, and was regarded as a most efficient and able Superintendent. Both as a man and nn officer he was very popular throught the fetate with all who were in anywise connected with our common school system. Dr. Hig bee, his successor, was President of the Mercersburg (IV) College, and is said to also be a fine scholar, but it will be difficult for any one to make a better Superintendent than was Dr. Wicker sham. PRESIDENT GARFIELD rises at i in j the morning—before any of the family j except bis venerable mother, whose j hour is 6. He reads the papers ; at 8 j he breakfasts, then he goes to his office aud dictates personal letters to his stenographer. Then after a little chat with bis family he is ready to receive the waiting crowd of callers. At half pa*t 2 he lunches, then divers members of the Cabinet appear, and at 6he dines. There are no Sunday night singing classes at the White House now. The Cincinnati Commercial says: 'The President is a great lover of children. He enjoys their company and loves to romp with thetu. His oldest daughter is of that age when her lessons and her educational ad vancement require much attention Her father takes a deep personal inter est in her welfare. TWELVE YEARS This week's CITIZEN will complete, by numbers, twelve years since we pur chased the paper, having done so at Vol. 6, No. 13, and this issue being Vol. 18, No. 18. Our subscribers are very generally good paying, many pay ing in advance, and many not letting a vear expire until they have paid. Lut we regret to sav ihere are some who arc two, three, four and even more years back in their subscription accounts. If they paid yearly they would find it not near so hard, nor miss the amount so much as they do by letting it run so long. We have to request that all those so far in arrears will give imme diate attention to this matter. The numerous Courts now being held will give all not coming to town an oppor tunity' of sending in by some of their neighbors. R&ILROAD "NEWS. Anything in the way of railroad news is always interesting to our peo ple. We want more outlets, and the newly found mines of coal in this coun tv we believe will soon give them to us. The latest agreeable news, is that there is sonic hope of soon having a connection between the narrow guage road now ending here and the Harmony one. The object is to have a competing road from Pittsburgh to the upper oil fields, aud it is said the Baltimore and Ohio Raiboad Company have deter mined to secure that by combining the present narrow gauges and filling tip the wanting link from Butler to a point at or near Evansburg this county. This done, and the short link from Parker to Foxburg made, then the entire road is complete to Bradford. We only hope that late news we hear may all be true. The Baltimore & Ohio Company is struggling for further trade connections and its efforts nvy be of much advan tage to the people of our county. If an air line railroad from New York to Omaha, Neb., is ever made it will pass a few miles north ot Butler Mr. Perry Smith, of Centre township, met some eastern gentleman at Brady's Bend last week, who were out looking at the formation of the country along the Allegheny river, near where this road would pass over the same, and he is fully impressed with the belief that the time is not far distant wheu the all line project from New York will be commenced. Boarding House Law. Mr. Billingaley has introduced the following act in the House relating to boarding house keepers, and authorizing the attachment of wages cf persons indebted for boarding. SECTION 1. That on and after the passage of this act, proprietors of ho tels, inns, boarding houses and lodging houses in this Commonwealth, in ad dition to the remedies now provided by law, shall have the to attach wages due or owing to such persons as may be indebted to them for board ing not exceeding the amount of four weeks, and any sum so due may be attached and shall not be paid to the defendant until the judgment so had for such amount as may be due upon such attachment shall he satisfied, and justices of the peace shall have juris diction of attachment in cases for such purpose. SEC. 2. It shall be lawful for any person having a claim due him for boarding, to commence proceedings for the recovery of the same against his debtor by "making affidavit before a justice of the peace «'f the debt due and the amount thereof, whereupon the justice of the peace shall issue a sum mons against the said debtor with clause of attachment to any person or corporation owing him wages for labor, to attach ali money,property, rights and credits, whether due for wages or other wise, and make the same returnable as summonses are now returnable, and all such property, moneys, rights or credit attached, shall be held to satisfy the payment of such amount as may be recovered in suit. and if such is found to be due the plaintiff, judgment may IK* entered against the defendant and the garnishee and the same may be recov ered by execution thereon as in other cases. SEC.3 The act entitled 'An Act to exempt property to the amount of three hundred dollars from sale and execu iion,' approved the ninth day of April.

An Interesting Talk with ex-United Statos Minister Boker. George H. Boker, who was United States Minister to Russia during the second term of President Gr nt's ad ministration, yesterday talked about the murdered Czar and the probable effect of the change of monarchs on the country. Mr. BoKer was a warm ad mirer of the late Emperor, and has al wavs spoken in terms of prrise of his courtesy and his kind, simple and un affected disposition toward all with whom he eame in contact. lie thinks the accession of the new Czar to the throne will bring about a great change in the foreign policy of the government. 'I don't think, 1 said Mr. Boker, 'that Alexander's successor has the ability or the amiability of his father. W hen I was in Russia the son was looked upon as very strongly anti-German, and that endeared him to a large body ot the Russians. The Germans are particularly unpopular with the Rus sian masses, especially in ht. Peters burg, where they do most all the busi ness. There are a great many Germans there. Russian shop-keepers say they take the bread out <>f their children's mouths. Germany in a general way does a great deal of trade in Russia— sells locomotives, manufactured goods and all kinds of machinery there. This makes the Russian capitalists jealous and the complaint is universal that German competition hurts them. It it* with this business class that the anti- German sentiments of the new Empe ror are so popu ar. You must remem ber why the present Emperor has this feeling against Germauy. He married a Danish princess and the Schlcswig- Holstein affair made the Germans very unpopular in Denmark —the Germans robbed the Danes of pretty nearly all their possessions. The hatred ot the Danes against the Germans is undying. The Princess Dagmar, the wife of the new Emperor, who is a sister of the Princess of Wales, is a woman of great beauty, great ability and mast charm ing manners, and she said to exercise a great influence over her husband. I hat influence naturally is not exercised in favor of the Germans Being asked what he expected to be the result of the accession of the new Emperor to the throne Mr. Boker re plied : 'Oh, there will be a great change of policy toward the Germans. I be lieve this firmly. Of course a man on coming to the throne always becomes more conservative, and the indications may not appear at present. The change will not be in domestic matters, but, in Russia's foreign policy. It is very probable that she will ecome an ally of Fiance. This would strengthen the hands of Germany's enemy immensely, and would change the aggressive po sition of that country toward France to a defensive position. There ;s surely a prospect ot this; ii tie present Fmperor should per.jevere in the pjiiey that has always been announced as bis there is no question about it.' 'As to the immediate effect of the Czar's death in his own country, the ex citement will not be such as would arise in other countries—France for in stance—under similar circumstances. The government has not much at stake in the matter. This attack on the Emperor was not meant as a personal attack ; it is an attack upon the whole system of depotism and I suppose the thing will continue until someday ibis system will be overthrown THE REVOLUTIONARY SOCIETY. 'I don't know,' he continued, 'why they call these men Nihili.-ts. It is a misapplication of terms. TheNihJists were a set of philosophers who had nothing to do with politics. The men who did the assassinating were mem bers of the Russian Revolutionary So ciets. I saw Jo»s of these revolutionists wheu I was in St. Petersburg. They used to come to me and talk in a man ner that led me to suspect t'lem. They thought as a matter of course that I was a communist because I came from America. When I would teli them I hud no sympathy with their movement they wouldn't believe it; they thought I was talking diplomatically. Ofcourse I never knew anything about thicr plans, but I could see by their coming there that they were up to some devil try ' As to the composition of the Revo lutionary Society, Mr. Boker says it is chiefly made up of the nol»slity. 'They have alway- headed popular move ments : the nobility have been concern ed in every revolutionary scheme that ever was inaugurated there It is no wonder, for they have nothing to lo:se. The position of a Russian nobleman amounts to nothing so far as voice in the government is concerned. Me has no control, no voice in the country's politics. The Emperor is supreme in everything. It is a sickening thing, this assassin ation. I suppose they will keep it up 0:1 his successor, waiting of course, to see what his policy is before they try it. There never can be any liberality until they change the present form of government. One must look at what Russia is. Hero is an old Oriental despotism, with all the knowledge and advancement of the nineteenth century beating at its walls from outside. Sooner or later it has got to go down. Just when that will happen no one can tell. Men cf this age aie not contented to live under a despotic system. When the change comes it will necessitate the whole reoganization of *be govern ment. We used to think Alexander was liberal Well, so he was, compar ed with his father, Nicholas. It may be it was that that killed him. It does not do for a man holding one-man power to be liberal. It might have been better for Alexander himself if he had been more severe. lie eau't act one thing and be another. A liberal tendency is opposed to his form of gov ermcnt IT a Kussian Emperor desires to be liberal he should sh.ike off the old form of despotism, of which he is the nead. I don't see how the present Emperor can do any thing more than his father did. The doing awav of the old system of government w II involve the destruction of that despotism which all the previous monarch* have strug gled so to maintain. Self-preservation will make the present Emperor oppose any change. The French kings were never content to do away with despotic power, and the result was the French revolution, just as, some day, tlfere will be a Russian revolution.' Ccrcnaticm of the Ozar ST.

Now where will the boys go for fun? \\ e think a few went to preaching f« r fun. Av !we are sure of it! But now we come to think, their cheek will carry them through, and they will find the place to have their fun no doubt, if they have to go to Mc'S for more Florida water. Coylesville is moving along in -he even tenor of its way; nothing new, except some new goods Me. received the other day. No new loafers, but the old ones hold their places well. We are hoping soft weather will co'V.e soon. Then they can cnange positions, get farther away from stoves, it will be easier on their apparel We farmers around here do not have to buy any sacks this winter. The .boys hive plenty to give away. \ou can guess where the boys get them. The trouble is, the boys are given away as well as the sacks. The girls must take the boys for small potatoes, or else they think the boys have some thing that needs filling up ; they-have, too; it is the bottles in their pockets, and their pocket books too, we expect. We regret to hear that Bernard Sheridan and family intend moving to Pittsburgh this spring. We wish you a pleasant time in the smoky city, but hope you w ill soon get tired of city life and come back to the old farm in Clearfield again. The reason the singings down in the Big Bottom did not run smoothly, there was too much job (Joe Bovle) oil around. It is a bad thing to have around a singing school, makes everything clog. SPY & CRICKET. NOHTII HOPE, March IS, 'Bl. There is a well finished this week on the Kumbaugh farm in Washington to"vnsbip, and the result is a duster. This is the third well drilled ou this farm. In the other two oil was ob tained in paying quantities. The first well was drilled and the oil struck at the same time that the first Greece City well was struck. This well was believed by men of ex perience to be good lor fifteen or twenty barrels p«'r day if it had been properly handled, but not being a spouter as was the Greece, it was neglected and not tested for over two months after oil was struck, being filled with oil and salt water all that time, it was dam aged, but still it produces about seven barrels per day when pumped Sometime after there was another well put down about fifty rods south west of the first, with "less oil and a close sand rock. It was pumped un til it produced more th in a thousand barrels. S ill later there was another put down about on the same line, half a mile distant, on the Isaac Thompson farm, result dry. Still another on lands of David Stewart, no oil in pav ing quantities. Then there was one drilled north-west of the first well on the Kumbaugh farm, on what was once the James Stoops farm, this was also dry. Sometime after there was an other put down due west of the Kum baugh farm, dry also. With this amount of operating and results as stated, it would appear to a casual ob server that to locate and drill another well west of the first well on the Ilum baugh farm would be injudicious, but strange as it may appear the well now finished is nearly on a line and mid way between two dusters. Its loea cion is wondered at by practical opera tors. Your correspondent is unable to un derstand or exp ain it unless it be by the law of imstiofct; Tbtere is, I bMteve'j an attraction in kine, name and place, but the enclosure of a small lot by a high and strong fence and used for a bull pen, though the hull was not a Buffalo neither from Buffalo, fails to explain. It is confidently and generally be lieved that if they had drilled a well a short distance from and north-east of the first well, and if t e rock would improve in that direction as much as it decreased and become close in the op posite, they fwonld have in all proba bility got a good well. There is no doubt in the minds of operators ac qua nted with the foregoing facts that there is better oil territory in this township, than has yet been found in it. There are hundreds of acres lying east and northeast of th« first well, that never has been tested, and it is hoped that if there are any more wells put down in that vicinity that the lo cation may be more favorable than the one just being finished. WASHINGTON. Hoi KER. PA., March 10, 'Bl. EDITORS CITIZEN :— Thinking a few notes from Concord township will in terest the readers of the CITIZEN, I will attempt to give you an account of our vicinity. Middletown is a pleas ant, healthful liltle village, situated 5 miles south of North Washington, on the North Washington and Butler road, and containing about 7~> or 100 inhabi tants It has 1 dry goods and gro cery store; 1 wholesale boot and shoe store; 3 grand central hotels; 2 black smith shops ; 2 carpenter shops Ac But few candidates have made their appearance here yet. The schools of this township are about to close. On the evening of the 17th, we had the privilege of attending an exhibi tion at school Xo. 2, in thin township. We were entertained beyond expecta tion, remembering that there are only about 20 scholars, and most of them small. The declamations, rehearsals, reading , dialogues, tableaus, music, kc , were all of the highest order. The audience kept rather good order ex empt those persons "around the stove pipe" who kept time to the nm.-ic. At the close of the performance, Em] Graham was called on to make some remarks, lie informed us that the teacher, Miss Kate Hilliard was the best teacher they have hud for the last 3 years.

The Cleveland Herald published 011 Tuesday, by authority, the following concerning ex-President Haves' salary and savings : The whole truth concern ing the alleged savings of ex-President Haves from his salary can be told in a few words. The aggregate of t hat salary far the four years was $200,000. The expense of the position during that time were $134 000. Had Congress refunded the 34 000 he paid for the ex pense of the 'visiting statesmen' to Lousiana his savings would have been about $70,000. As it is, he went out of office with $66,000 to be carried from his account as president to the benefit of his account as a private citi zen. When ho became president he was burdened with debts to the amount of $90,000, mostly en account of be rjuests charged upon the Birehard es tate. Of this amount lie has paid $60,000 out of his savings from the presidential salary, so that the net available result in cash of his presiden tial term is $6,000" Th 3 Passaga Pr sident Garfield Kisaed. When a President is inaugurated he kisses the open pages of a Bible as he takes the oath, and somebody is always on hand to note the passage touched by his lips Garfield kissed the first six verses of the 21st chapter of Proverbs, which are as follows: "The king's heart is in the hands of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever He will. ' Every way of a man is right in his eves: but the Lord pondcreth the hearts. "To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. "An high look and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked is sin. "The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness ; but of every one that is hasty only to want. "The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death." How Officials W re Once Paid. It is notageneraly known historical fact that from 1777 to 1784 the territory now known as Tennessee formed a part of Xorth Carolina,* and th it in 1785, the Tennesseeang, becoming dis satisfied with their government, organ ized a State government under the name of 'Franklyu,' which wai main tained for some years. The organiza tion afterward disbanded, and Terri torial Tennessee was again annex al to Xorth Carolina. The following is among the laws passed by the Legis lature of the State of Franklyu. We copy as found in a speech by Daniel Webster on the currency in 1838: 'Be it enacted by the General As sembly of the State of'Franklyn, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same. That from the day of January, 1779, the salaries of the officers" of this Commonwealth lie as follows, to-wit: •His Excellency the Governor, per annum, 1,000 deerskins; 'His Honor the Chief Justice, 500 deer skins; or. 500 raccoon skins; 'The Treasurer of the State, 450 ra ccoon skins ; 'Each County Clerk, 300 beaver skins; 'Clerk of the House of Commons, 200 raccoon skins ; 'Members of Assembly, ]er diem' three raccoon skins ; 'Justice's fee for signing a warrant, one muskrat skin ; 'To the Constable, for serving a war rant' one mink skin ; 'Entered into a law the 18th day of October, 1779, under the great seal of tbfe Stile.'
