HI TLERCITIZEN JOHN N. ft W. C HE6- EV. PBOP'RS. Entered, at the Postoffice at Butler as second-classx matter. MB. JAMES FI*DLEY, of Clay town ship, sold his farm recently in said townehip, a hundred and some acres, for $4500. A B I.L is before the I egrislature to prevent political organizations or per sons from paying other peoples taxes in order to vote. MRS. DEAN, widow of the late Rich ard Dean of this place, has removed her tobacco and cigar store from Jefferson to Main street, in the Etzel building, opposite the Vogley house. AT night can now l»e seen the reflec tion from the gas burning at the new Bald Ridge oil well, five miles south west of Butler. All that kind of light heretofore was seen in the east and north east from this place It would now look as if "Westward the star of empire (oil) takes its way.'' LOBD BEACONSFIELD, Ex-Premier of Great Britain, died in London on yes terday morning at five o'clock The Pittsburgh daily papers of yesterday morning contaiued the news of his death, giving the same as occurring at five o'clock in London, but which would be at about one o'clock in the morning at Pittsburgh, accordiug to our time in this country. COURT met on Monday morning of thfs week according to adjournment. The case of Andrew Blakely vs. Robert and Mary McCandless, eject ment, not being concluded last week, was continued on Monday of this week and a verdict rendered. The proceed ings of last week will be found in an other place. The Court is now engag ed in the trial of the civil cases put down for ibis week. MB. offered a resolution, which was adopted—yeas 20. nays 14 —that when the Senate adjourned this afterncon it be until Tuesday morning next at 10 o*. lock. A motion to hold a session this even : ag was defeated— yeas 18, nays 20. The above is taken from the Senate Legislative proceedings oflastTbuis day, and will explain to the people of this county how the frequent adjourn ments are effeefd. To adjourn from a Thursday to a Tuesday is juf-t losing about half of a wee 4(. And this is done at a time when important public bills are pending and pressing for pass age, and the passage of which should be bad at this session. But it is ru mored that the meaningof the above and similar proceedings is to pave l>e way for an extra session of the Legislature this summer or next winter. It will be observed that Mr Greer, the Senator represcDtmg this distiict, makes the above motion ; and this after the late frequent complaints as to his absence from his public duties. BTATE CONVENTION. The Republican State Centrsd Com mittee met at Harrisburg last Thurs day and selected September Bth as the time, and Harrifburg as the place, for holding the State Convention of this year. A State Treasurer is the only- State officer to elect thisfall. But this is an important one, and the committee acted wisely in fixing a late date for the convention. The people v ill have time to look around and see who is best man for the place. The party basbeen dishonored heretofore by some very cor rupt men getting into that office, and using it to control party nominations by corrupting others. The case of Mack ey, a former State Treasurer, and who, after bis death, was discovere d to have been a partner in gambling houses in Philadelphia and New York, is one that should make the Republicans care fnl who they put in that office. Some of the ring wanted an early date this year for the convention in order t" quietly slip in its man, but th* better portion of the committee favoied Sep tember Bth, thus giving the party masses time to ascertain the merits of candidates proposed. COUNTY COMMITTEE MEETING. The Republican County Committee met in this place on Friday lust. The proceedings of the committee will lie found in full in another place in this paper. It will be seen that Suturdav the 4th of June was fixed as the time for holding the Primary election this' year, and Monday the oth of June for the meeting of the return Judges in county convention. This was the time generally desired by the candidates and therefore gives very general satis faction Several important changes, it will be seen, are ordered as to the man ner of holding the coming prinmrv. The special attention or all Republi cans in the county is directed to these changes. Among them will be found the following: First, there are no ex tra polling places granted for this year. This will require th necessity, be away from his own township oi borough and in that of another on tb« of iW priaiwy, ami ia tjurti C&&&H < it>s presumed this rule would not be rigidly enforced. Third, the persons holding the pri mary are to recieve none but Republi can votes. The Dames and the tickets of all voting are to be numbered. A li>t of said names, and the number of votes cai-h car.d'da'e has received for each office, are to be returned to the Countv Convent! >n by the return Judge and there counted up The tickets themselves are to remain in the possession of the Judsre holding the election, for safe keeping, in case they should l>e needed. This is a ru ewe advocated years aero, and, ifever requir ed to be used, its effect will be to ascer tain and reject improper votes only, re taining those which are proper. On a former occasion the good were thrown out with the bad, which was clear in justice. The above are the principal changes made to govern the present primary. The proceedings of the Committee should l»e carefully read by all interest ed. The committee appointed dele gates to the State Convention of Sep tember Bth, at which a candidate for Slate Treasurer is to be nominated. NEXT STATE TREASURER. By the procee lings of the Republi can committee meeting of this county on the 15th inst., it will be seen th.it the Hon. A. L. Campbell, of this coun ty, is recommended for the coming nomination for State Treasurer. This is no idle compliment but means busi ness. The western part of the State is so clearly entitled to the nomination th tt we do not see how it can be avoid ed to award it to her Neatly every State official is now from the eastern portion of the Siate. The Governor, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Internal Affairs, the Secretary of the Commonwealth, the State Superintend ant of schools, both U"ited States Sen ators, and other officials, are all from the eastern portion, leaving but the Lieutenant Governor who fairly can be charged to the western end. This pre. s nts a strong claim for the present State Treasurer nomination. Besides, Mr. Campbell is well qualified for that place and would make a strong candi date if nominated. He would be warm ly supported and his fri« nds intend making an earnest effort to secure his nomination. MOPE ROVING ' COMMISSIONS." Mr Cooper called up on third read ing Senate joint resolution creating u commission to revise the revenue laws and submitted an amendment that the number of Senators to comprise a por tion of the commission be increased from three to five. Mr. McNeill opposed the proposed increase of the number of Senators and referred to the inefficiency of the tax commission of 1879. A .'•mall commis sion would be of more service than a large one, and Mr. Lawrence agreed with the Senator. Messrs. Jones, Greer and Cooper supported tho amendment. Mr. C oper said there would probably be a special session of the Legislature next winter to consider an apportionment bill, and because the Governor thinks that a proper revenue law cannot be passed by a regular session in view of the large amount of other Legislation demauding the attention of the mem bers. M*ssrs. Newmyer, Schnatterly and Keyburn favored the amendment, and Mr Hall opposed the joint resolution, because he did not think the commis sion would be of any benefit to the State Mr. Cooper proposed an amendment that the number ol members be in creased from five to seven Both amendments were agreed to. Mr. Evcrhart moved that the nmonut appropriated be reduced from $5,000 to $3,000, aud that the provis ion made for traveling expenses be stricken out The amendment was defeated, as was one by Mr. Kauffman requiring the commission to revise the expend itures of the State, including appropri ations. The bill was passed third reading and laid over for final past-age. The above are what arc termed "Roving Commissions." At I most every Legislature for years past such "Commissions"' are gotten up. The main thought in the originators is to give themselves employment during the summer recess at the expense of the State. They generally have a ?<>od time of it, visiting watering places, summer retreats, principal hotels, and living well, their traveling expenses all being paid by the State. But what benefit they have ever been nobody has yet found out. Last year there was just such a "commission" appointed to revise the revenue sys tem of the State. Senator Greer of this county was on it. And as he supported the motion for an increaae of the committee now proposed, as will be seen above, we presume he is desir ing to be on the present one. The one of last year had frequent j meetings in different parts of the State during the summer, But if any report was ever made to the Legislature of its work it his not been made public. Th ■ trutli is, these "commissions to re-, vise the revenue laws" are a farce if ! not an outrage upon the tax payors of the State. No su'-h large body, taken j from the Legislature and thus coiibti- ; tuted, can be expected to carefully col lect the necessary material and infor mation, and prepare and report a better system of taxation. Any reform in our system of taxation will have to ••ome in a different way. e recollect a similar "commission" fifteen years ago that made some sort of a report, which was never after heard of or 'bought of—so it has been since, and the attention of the people is being di rected to this useless expenditure of their money. If members of the Leg islature waut recreation during the aud duriug tbu warm ouuiiMtr. Utitlei• QTitiseu: 20, 18SI. months, thev will have to contrive some new device. The one of "revis ing the revenue system" has so far, onh had the effect of "revising"*good deal of "revenue" out of the State Treasury, These "commissions" may afford "frolic and fun" for the mem bers composing them, hut so far have been no benefit to the State. It is hoped the H iu?e will refuse to concur in this last attempt of the Senate to saddle the people with the expense of another "roving commission." MIMUTES OF TIT • RFPUBLICAN COUNTY CO -IMITTEE.

Yankton Fooplo Appealing for Help In The r Distress. YANKTON, D. T., April 14.—The com mittee of citizens yesterday issued an address sayingthere is need of inimedi ate aid to put a stop to the suffering can««'d by the late floods in tlx- Missou ri river. They say: For two weeks large areas of bottom lands, extending I many hundred miles along each side of | the river, hive been submerged by wat !er and heavy masses of ice. A large ! share of this land is, or was, well sot ! tied. All the stock is lo>t, dwellings, j churches, stores, school houses, even : whole villages are demolished nnd j swept away In many instances groups of families who had taken refuge in the | larger buildings are still imprisoned in ; the gorged ice, and cannot be reached j ;by the most determined efforts. Care | fill estimates show at least seven ! thousand people are driven from their homes. Of this number at least half lose everything but the clothing they | had on and will need aid from one to th ee months. It has be-n ascertained that the j ' gorge which has caused the flood upon ' the bottom land extends from Yankton to Vermillion, filling the river channel I over thirty miles with solid ice, and rising in places to the height of thirty j feet above th;' surface of the water. ' 1 Nothing but extreme warm weather or the use of powerful explosive will re- | lease it. A hundred and thirty people ' were rescued from Maysville Tuesday night, where they had been surrounded by water and ice fur two week#;. They are bcintr brought to Yankton, There jjre twenty families in a river bend some fifteen miles below here who can not be rescued on account of a field of heavy ice surrounding them. Thcv have not been heard from since the flood covered the bottom. Great anx iety is f'-lt for their safety. A party of men who have been working for eitfht davs in a fruitless effort to reach this bend returned this morning, refitted themselves and have gone back to their heroic labor. Two parties are also en deavoring to work their way through the ice to Miekling, where about fifty persons are still imprisoned. When the bottoms overflowed a vast amount of floating ice was thrown upon them, and through these fields of ice, which stand from five totwentv feet in hi ight, ! it is difficult und often Impossible to ' pass.
