THE Legislature of Pennsylvania, alarmed at the prospective loss of pay for unearned service in extra sessions, / have appointed a Committee to inquire into the motives of Attorney General Palmer in preparing the opinion. What the motives of an officer in preparing a judicial opinion are, is a fine question in the abstract; but the people of Penn sylvania are concerned only in the concrete quest on, Is the opinion of the Attorney General a correct expo sition of the law ?

'OLD ABE,' the Wisconsin war eagle died at the Capitol building, Madison, Wis., last Saturday night. The bird was sold to the Eighth Wisconsin Infantry in 18C1. He was with the regiment four years in the army. At the close of the war he was presented to the State. He has been a!l over the nation since. In 1805, at the great fa ; r in Chicago, his exhibition netted SIO,OOO, and at the Milwaukee fair, the same year, $9,000. He was four mtmths at the Centennial at Philadel phia. AII the State officials, headed by the Governor, visited and viewed the remains of the historical bird. Tiik late su'ow storm has been se vere all over thin county.

AMENDMENT TO CONSTITUTION- Wo are r.ure that all good citizens will Is; pleased to learn of the probable passage, io tin; State l.< gihlatU'e, of the bill providing for an amendment to the constitution, prohibiting the further manufacturing or sale of liquor in this State, except fjr mechanical, medicinal it:i<| o.;icntific purposes. Tbe bill passed in the House last week by a vote of \)H for to 38 against. Hoth our members, Kraham and Bell, voted in the affirma tive. It now goes to the Senate and will lie watched with interest there. II agreed to, it will lie published, and, if again passed at the next General As sembly. will then be submitted to a vote of the people of tbe State, and if approved will become a part of the constitution. It is the same as that in corporated in tbe Kansas State Consti tution, and will settle the main ques tion on the liquor subject. come what will, Russia cannot witn.-tand tbe influences of the more civilized world about her, and, should the new (,'/.4r a tempt any reactionary measure.'*, the futes will be against . him.

While no British subject (of Canada) is more unpopular in the United States, or more denounced at present Than- Vennor. the weather prophet, yet it must be admitted he is generally on top (of the snow), though many wish j be was " snowed under." He did not ; hit it exactly as to the snow fall of this month, as we bad deep snow ou the Ist of April, bat his predictions for the month, as given below, will be received with increased interest. They are as follows: "There will be sharp frosts in the be ginning of April, with a snow storm on the 4th or sth, but the spring will open favorably, and everything will be pretty well advanced by April 15th. Floods may be expecteg in Chicago about '.he first week in April, with high winds also prevailing in the early fart of the month. Snowfalls are probable about April sth. Navigation is likely to ODen on I.ake Ontario about April Tth. "The St. Lawrence will be open about the 9th or 11th, and the first steamship will probably arrive about the ltth or 18th. The weather will be verv stormv in the Lower Provinces about the 20th, with very high water prevailing; but, in the West, April will be a dry month. There will be warm weather just following the 20th, end ing in thunder storms on the 24th and 2Mb. Snow storms are probable in the far West on the 25th or 2«th, and snow storms are not unlikely to occur in England at the close of the month. The month will end wet and cold, but on the whole will belike a May month." lIABRIsBCiMi correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, writes of Attorney General Palmer's 'opinion': If his opinion holds good its effect will be to revolutionize the entire system of leg islation. Instead of adjourning over for a week as soon as it organizes, the Legislature will begin business, com mittees will be promptly appointed, bills introduced early in the session, and the public will expect less talk and more work. Under the old system three or four weeks were generally frittered away at the beginning of the session figuring on the make-up ol committees, the distribution petty patronage and other magnificent trifles, to the great delay and detriment of public business. MRS. GAUFIELD, mother of the Pres ident, is a type cf the Northern Ohio pioneer mothers, and has not yet for gotten the lessons of thrift arid economy taught her in early lite by necessity. The following illustrative incident is related by cne of the newspaper cor respondents on the train tbat bore the President and family to Washington. In the hurry and bustle of the morning, the porter "forgot to extinguish the lamps in the car, and they burned at full head long after daylight. At last the lighted lamps attracted the "Id lady's attention, when she said to the President-elect: James, put out those lamps. It's no use wasting the oil when it is doing no good.' General Garfield called »he porter's attention to the matter, and the waste of illumina ting fluid was stopped immediately. President Garflcld at Oburch There is hardly a plainer or more unpretentious church structure in any out of the country village in the lend than the Christian Church at Washington where the President and his family goto worship. The building is of wood, its architecture tbat of the ordinary school house. Its seating ca pacity must be less than five hundred, including that of the narrow gallery which ruus across one end of the in terior. Opposite the gallery is a small alcove where the minister stands to preach. The singing, which is purely congregational, is led by a small cabi net organ placed in the middle of the church and presided over by a very young ladv. The Christmas jrarlaud» are still above the windows, arid to-day there was on a little stand near the minister a large boquet of exquisite flowers, sent from the White House conservatory. The President, his wife and mother occupy a pew on the right, too far back to lie conspicuous. Mrs. Garfield's ! costume is plainer than that of many ladies about her. The mother is not distinguished from ..th'-relderly women by her black gown, black bonnet above her snow-white hair, and the smoothly folded white kerchief over her bosom I The Rev. Mr. Powers is a young man, , apparently not over thirty, with a good voice and clear enunciation. The service of the Christian denom ination includes the communion every Sunday immediately after the sermon, j and, as a member, the President re- j mains wi h other members for this pur- j pose. His mother and wife are also] communicants. No other church at-j tended by any President, within many i years, at h ast, is as unpretending as i this. President Lincoln went to the j New York Avenue Presbyterian , Church, then called Dr. Gurley V ! Church. Though not a large edifice, j it is of brick, with two floors, an j organ loft, and furnished with a steeple like a city church. It is a short dis-j t a rice from the White House, but Pres- j ideiit Lincoln with his family always j went in a carriage. But it was "war time," and the streets here were not. paved and clean as they are now. An- j drew Johnson attended service at the ! Methodist Wesley Chapel in Fifth—»t, j a plain brick building much like the j Christian Church, except that it is lar gcr. Mr. Chase went there at Ihe i same time General Crant attended . for 8 years the Metropolitan Chun h iu j C_st. a pretentious brown-stone strue- ; ture that has not yet been paid for. There are wood carvings, stained glass ed windows, soft carpets aud all that , pertains to elegant and comfortable re-; ligion. The organ is one of the finest ! in the city, and at one time the choir j was composed of first-class singers well paid. One had to go early to Ret a seat in this crowded house of worship, and when the Presidt ut's family enter- , ed at a side door there was an unuiis- i takable movement all over the church ; j and yet President Grant was himself; most plain and unassuming. Perhaps it was the size an elegance of the house of God, or the lashonable worshippers, or the minister that made it all seem quite grand, aixl in a certain way, iin pressive. And when the people mov ed out the organ pealed forth classic music, and outside the crowd waited to j see the President's carriage go by.

According to a correspondent of the Philadelphia Times, Daniel Sturgeon Joubert, the able eomm tnder of the irallant Boers, who have ijeeti giving the British army such a threshing in South Africa, was born at I niontown, Pennsylvania. He was born in ls-,1, and named after Daniel Sturgeon. U. S. - Senator from this State. His father was a Hollander, and after the death of his parents young Joubert became a sailor, making several voyages between Holland and the Boercountry. In 18fi2 he enlisted in the United States Navy, j and under Admiral Dupont aud others, | lost an eye at the bombardment of: Charleston, for which disability he now receives a pension from our govtnnent He is next heard of as a captain <»1 a negro company in the Army of the Po tomac He served directly under Gen-' eral Weitzel and his men ruarcbed with Weitzel's other troops, who after l.ee's surrender, took possession of Richmond. After his discharge he visited 1 nion town under an assumed name. The one-eved young captain, still wearing his full uniform, revealed himself, how ever, to Hon. Daniel >turgeon, then aged over eighty years, who secured for him over $700" the savings of his parents, which bad been pot at interest on his father's death. Daniel next sail ed for Holland and from there t" the country of the Boers, in South Africa. Becoming a resident and citizen of the Dutch Republic, be was, in 1875, elect ed representative to their Congress for the province or department of Obaitgi. When the late war broke out between the Boers arid the British, Daniel Stur geon Joubert was promoted from one militarv office to another till he is now the commander-in-chief of all the Boer armies. A Railroad Rumor. There is a rumor afloat that Dr. Hostetter is buying up the stock of the Parker, Karris City and Butler rail- road at ninety dollaas per share and that it is contemplated to establish a line of connection between this city and Bradford, Pa. The rumor says that a connection will be made be tween the Pittsburgh and Western road and the Parker road by laying twelve miles of track between Evans burg and Butler. The Parker road would then lie extended to Foxburg where it would connect with the branch to Clarion. I rom that point the scheme is to construct a road through a wild, mountainous, unsettled section to the town of Bane, where a connection would be made with the narrow gauge roao to Bradford. Sev eral purties who got wind of the above rumor questioned its authenticity, in view of the fact that the Pittsburgh and Western road is dickering with the Baltimore and Ohio Company at present and that there are strong rea sons for believing that an agreemant will be made by which the Pittsburgh and We tern will pass into the con trol of the Baltimore and Ohio people. In this even the gauge would be changed to standard, Mid this would be rather inconvenient for the narrow gauge folks in tin- upper country, un less they got the privilege of laying a third rail It was also stated that the alleged connection would be made within four months, but it, woulil take lively work to build forty miles of road through a mountainous section, and make the other connections alluded to, in that brief period.— ('o.t.mcrcial Gazelle, Ajn-il 4. More of the Conner Robbery. A correspondent of the Clarion (Pa ,) Republican-Gazette of the 30th ult., furnishes that paper with the following interesting details of the Connor rol>- hery, tuat was recently perpetrated ou the Allegheny river near Brady s Bend, in Clarion county. He says : On Wednesday evening last at about hall-j iiht eight o'clock, a party of masked men entered the dwell ing of John Conner, Sr., in Madison township, this county. Mr. Conner was quietly enjoying hiseveijing smoke, while his wife was reading aloud t > him, they two being t lie only occupants of ihe house at the time. The first move nf the scoundrels was to grapple with Mr. Conner, who is about 80 years of age, at the same time presenting re i volvtrs. Mr. Conner succeeded in get j ting posessioa of the weapon when the | second of the party seized it aud wrest ed it from him, ar.d in doing so lacera ted the old gentleman's right hand in a terrible main r. Mr. Conner seeing j the scoundrel aiming a blow at him j with the butt of th : rev./ver, cndciv j oring to ward it <'U with his left hand, | anil receiving the force o' the blow on | that hand, had it badly crushed Find ing that he was now l.ejpless, they ! cooly informed him that he need make j no alarm, as his son, living but a few ; rods distant, was safely bound and ; gagged. They then demanded the key j ol the safe, and enraged at bis refusal, | they placed a revolver against his head ! and tired it, fortunately the builet did j not penetrans the skull, but made a j very ugly furrow in the Ilesh. Sup posing the key to be ill the clock case, j they endeavored to obtain it, but failing ' they again attaeked Mr. Conner, who ' finally yielded and gave them the key. ; | They then tried to open the safe, and J j although four of them made the effort, , j they didn't succeed They then at tempted to compel Mr. Conner to open it for them, but this the brave old man i lelused to do, daring them to put their i threats into execution and take his , ' life. "Let us torture the oi l woman," I ' cried the seeming leader. Bather than 'allow this outrage, Mr. Conner a-ked ! them to carry him, as he was now ! helpless, to the ttfe and he would j open it for them. 11 wa- <1 ur-, and the i robbers leisill ely helped, themselves to bonds, bank-bill* aud si! v< r, amounting • to somewhere between ten and twelve thousand dollars.

The bill has special reference to the coal-mining sections. In the House, Wednesday morning the anti freight discrimination bill was considered. Mr. Mapes championing it gave examples of alleged freight dis crimination. claiming that it cost more to carrv certain classes'of goods between points iu this State than between points in Western States and Philadelphia. He referred to the numerous fortunes made by what he charged, freight dis crimination, and spoke of the law's de lav and the non-punishment of all who have violated the law in the matter of freight discrimination. Mr. Mapes closed with an appeal for the passage of the bill. Several others spoke for and against the bitl, and it passed second reading, after an immaterial amendment had been added by Mr. Law allowing car rying companies to charge less per mile for long than short distance. The House on Thursday, after hear ing a number of pititions regarding cer tain bills, hearing reports of commit tees, and the reading of several bills in place, resumed on second reading the act relating to license for the sale of in toxicating liquors, introduced .by Mr. Flii.n. The bill grades the fees for li censes as follows per year : Sales amounting to $20,000, a fee of .S7OO. Sales amounting to SB,OOO, a fee of S4OO. Sales amounting to SO,OOO, a fee of S2OO. Sales amounting to s',ooo, a fee of SIOO. Sales amounting to less than st,ooo, a fee of S.OO. This hill was discussed at length, when the further consideration of it w: b inch finitely postponed by a vote of 88 to 73. In the Senate the hill providing for the election of two overseers of the poor in February next, the one receiv ing the highest number of votes to hold office trt'o years aTid the other to hold office one year, and annually there after o e person shall he elected over s«er of the poor for two years, provided it does not apply to counties having poor houses managed by directors elect ed for that purpose, was passed finally. TIICRSDAY. The House met at to cousider the hill proposing an amendment to the Constitution prohibiting forever the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors except for mechanical, medicin al and scientific purposes. Mr. Furth, Philadelphia, made an argument against the bill, and .Messrs. GVlhorn, Somer set, and Clark, Philadelphia, in favor of it. Symington Phillips ogercd an amend ment inserting the word 'sacramental.' Mr. i'ierly offen d an amendment to the amendment striking out the words 'medicinal, mechanical and scientific purposes.' If the bill passes in its present shape, he said every drug store will be a tippling house. We have enough of that already. Mr. Furth made a vigorous start in opposition to the bill, ami waslaunching out in highfalutin speech, when he was interrupted by Messers. Niles and Col born, who gave notice that the temper ance men did not propose to discuss this question, and would not answer the gentlemen. Mr I'urth proceeded making very weak points. He said over-eating was intemperance, and yet no one wanted a law against that. This preject, lie said, savored of the actions of the abolitionists who wanted to manumit all o! the slaves at one ('<•11 swoop, because it destroyed millions of dollars worth of property invested in the liquor trade. There was such a thing us intemperance in temperance views, and there were temperance fan atics and zcah.ts. Mr. (.'lark spoke in favor of the hill, and related an incident connected with a recent visit to the liastcru Peniten tiary, in which a man s» rving a term of 1-2 years for manslaughter, told him that he had committed the deed for which he suffered, while under the influence of liquor. Mr ("lark said he would vote to suppress the evil, which was the crying shame of the age. He hoped Pennsylvania would fol low Kansas in this matter, and was glad he had an opportunity to vote for it. .Mr. Colborn spoke in favor of the bill. j Mr. Mapes hoped the amendments ' wood be voted down, and the House ! promptly voted down, Mr. Bieilv's amendment.

READING, PA., March 30.—The most intense excitement prevails in the vi cinity of the couety alms house, from the fact that two small-pox imates had escaped in all their hideousness and attired in the clothing they have worn during their terrible disease. Ef forts were made to recapture them, but the officials Jailed to find them. A number of new cases have developed in the poor horse, making six in all. One man died, and the officials report that bis body turned perfectly black alter death, creating the impression that he had died with black small-pox.

Church was formally opened. The day broke in clear and fine. The church train west brought a large number of Lutherans and their friends from Freeport, Saxon Station and further out. Long before services had been announced the pews and aisles were filled with people. After the opening ceremonies, which were made unusually impressive by the assistance of the choir of the Freeport Lutheran Church and the excellent playing of Miss Lizzie Truby, their capable leader and organist, the Rev. Prof. Gilbert of Greenville, Pa., performed the sacred consecration, assisted by Rev. Waters of Butler and our pastor Rev. Tieman. After this, Prof. Gilbert delivered a fine sermon bearing on the subject incident to the occasion. In the afternoon Rev. Waters preach ed to onr American friends, who had come early to find seats; but only those who came very early succeeded in g< t ting comfortable places. The church was decorated with wreaths and flowers that had been sent by friends the day previ :us, and the whole was pronounced a credit to the committee and our town The collec tions were larger than had been expect ed (for which we are re quested by the committee to express sincere thanks to the liberal dom rs).

The claim is made on behalf of Sen ator Conkling that he ought to be al lowed to control, as a matter of coii-sc, the appointment of the Collector of the Port of New York, and that any selec tion made by the Preaident for that post, without the permission of the Senator, is a species of robbery, a vio la'ion of his vested rights. This claim seems to us to rest upon an entire misapprehension of the im portance of the office Before one of the Senators of New ork can assume that the Collectorship belongs to him, captious people might ask how you show that it even l»elongs exclusively to New York; and shrewd New York j oliticiaus v ould be wise not to raise that question too vociferously. The Boston Custom House, an infinitely less important establishment, lias i.ever been considered the vasted pro perly of the State of Massaehu-eits. Franklin Pierce appointed Charles Feast ly, of New llampsh re, C ilh cior I of Boston, and Andrew .Johnson ap ! pointed Hiinniba! Hamlin, of Maine, to the position. The Naval Office of the Port of Boston, resting upon pre cisely the same foundation as the ( ol lectorship, is now filled by a New Hampshire man, and, if we mistake not, has been so filled ever since Mr Lincoln appointed Anion Tuck in I SM. If it has been considered proper to take the officers of this comparatively small establishment from the whole extent of the New England States, with how much reason can one Sena tor claim to control the colossal reve nue system represented by our own great National Custom House. Three fourths of the revenue;! of the Govern ment are collected here. I here is not a State of the Union but is largely in terested in the administration of this immense trust, and yet there are peo ple who say that the control belongs i to one gentleman a - absolutely as the domestic economy of Ins own liou.-e at | L'tica.
