UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT CASES. —The tiial list of the United States Circuit Court for the May term in cludes several important cases. Among them are the following ones. Jack Po quaw Kc-ne-gaw and O-gaw-baish-caw mo-quav, his wife, for the use of the said O-gaw-baish-caw-mo-quay, his wife, vs. Eliza Darlington, impleaded with Ne-by-nos-se, and Waw-se-che waw-no-quay, his wife. Jack Po-quaw, Ke-ne-gaw and O-gaw-baish-caw-mo quay, his wife vs. the Keystone Bridge Company. The suits in which the In dians are plaintiffs are brought to get possession of about forty acres of prop erty situated in the Allegheny ceme tery, and in the Seventeenth aQd Eigh teenth wards of Pittsburgh. The forty acres sued for they claim is the share of the Mowry estate belonging to Ad. dison Mowry, and has nothing to do with the suits conducted in the county courts for Wm, Mowry's share. WHY SECRECY ? Our attention has been requested to the following subject for some weeks past. And as it is denied by some of the "Lincoln Club, of Butler," that it is a secret association, we now proceed to give to the Republicans of this coun ty the evidence that it is secret. From acopyof the "Constitution" of said "club," which has fallen into our hands, we find the following: "ARTICLE B—PLEDGE. "All persons admitted to this Club shall sign and subscribe the following pledge: We, the undersigned, mem bers of the "Lincoln Club, of Butler county," do hereby pledge ourselves to use all honorable means to aid and as sist in carrying out the aims, objects and purposes of the same as set forib in the above constitction, and that we will faithfully abide by all the rules, regulations and by laws of the Club, and that we will not reveal to anv one not a member, in good standing, of this Club any of the discussions or business of the Club." Now. if the above is not a provision for secrecy it would be h- rd to tell what constitutes secrecy. If a 'pledge,' "not to reveal to any one not a member » etc.," is not secrecy then the similar provision in many other known secret societies means nothing. And why this secret society within the Republican par ty of this county ? Is the party not al ready an organization ? Is it not a great, open and free party, to and for all, to join its ranks when they may ? Is this ' Lincoln Club, of Butler," open to all? By no means. It sets up a standard and assumes to investigate and decide who are Bepubh ans. A previous article will prove this, as fol lows: "ARTICLE 3—MEMBERSHIP. "The membership shall consist ot only known loyal Republicans of the age of 21 years and upwards." Now "loyal Republicans" were all Republicans who were loyal to tin cause of the Union during the late Re bellien. .Are there any Republicans in Butler county not still loyal to the country? What new found standard of lojalty do these wise-acres of the "Lincoln Club, of Butler county," pro pose to set up? And they appoint a committee to bear and certify as to whether nn Applicant for admission is a "loyal Republican" or not. Sections 1 and 2, of article 3, of the "by-laws" of this Club require ail applications for admission to it "to be made in writing," • and "all applications for membership shall be referred to the Advisory Com mittee." etc. So here we have the process—a kind ef secret inquisition— * to ascertain who are loyal Republicans. •♦Just as if all Republicans were not loyal; or, as if it required some com mittee to find that out. Is this not an insult to the Republicans of Butler county ? And is not this -'Lincoln Club" using l a grtat and good name for some improper purpose ? Ibe general impression is that this secret society, this party within our party, has l>eeu eotten up with the purpose of endeav oring to control Republican nonvna | tions in the county. Should this prove true the effect will be disastrous. We advise all Republicans, and particular ly all candidates, to keep clear of it. In stead of promoting Republican princi ples, or harmony in the party, its nat ural effect will be just the reverse. We need no such thing in our party We have our county committee and our township and borough committees, at everv campaign, and this is all the party needs or wants. Any other or ganization in the party must intend something selfish and wrong. It would be a reproach to the Republican pait\ to have anything but the oj>en, lree to enter, grand old party we have had. Hundreds in the party will never touch anything secret. Therefore all such proceedings should be immediately abandoned. SOME PROCEEDINGS IN BOTH BRANCHES OF TH c: LEGISLA TURE J AsT WE fcK. HARKII-BI RG, April 22.—'i he Senate met at 10 a. m.

'1 have nothing to do with that—of course, as a woman, to a certain extent I believe in the suffrage question, but that is not tbe question here I hare nothing to do with it. Jam a woman and want to live, and must work t<> do so. Ido not beg for sympathy. What I ask of the people is to do with me as they will with the other candidates — give me a fair bearing, consider my merits, and give me the same chance to earn an honest living that they accord to the men. I cannot very well plow, but I can write well, calculate interest and manage accounts, and am confident" of my ability to perform the duties of the office to which i aspire,' 'How did you come to be 11 candi date—did any person recommend it to you or desire you to come out ?' 'As I have said, 1 think I am espe cially fitted to perform the duties of this office. I am a good penman and an experienced accountant. I have taken into consideration that the office is rather a retired one, and for that rea son have chosen it. Yes, a large num ber of persons have suggested and ad vised me to take the step I have ' 'Do you propose to make an active personal canvass through the county, or will you confine yourself to the towns and along the railroad ?' 'I certainly do. lam very much in earnest, for it is a matter of work with me, and I shall leave nothing go by Traveling on a muddy road is no nov elty to me, I have walked day after day fjr a mi'e and 11 half through mud dy roads when 1 was teaching school in the country, 'What incouragcincnt haye you re ceived, up to this time, from thu peo. pld?' "Well, I have received considerable. Several prominent Democrats have pledged me their votes and support should I get tbe nomination, and quite a number of Republicans say they will support me.' 'Should you be elected, and the au thorities refuse to allow you to bold the office, would you contest the mat ter in t he courts ?' 'Well, really, that is an after consid eration, I had not thought of that, but sh 'Ultl I be elected I would certainly claim that the choice of the majority of the voters in the county should be conclusive, and would demand the office.' 'I see you announce yourself as a Republican. Have you always been a Republican, and have you anv partic ular reason for being one? Why do you prefer the Republican to the Dem ocratic party? Ladies generally follow the politics of the male portion of their family, how is that with you?' I come of old Republican stock. My father was a member of the Con vention that organized the Republican party—my whole family have been hard working members of the party. | Of course this bad much to do with | my choice iu politics, but the real rea- I son is that heart and soul I am insym-J patliy with the Republican party and its principles. I have studied the ! Constitution of our country, and all j through it I can see tbe spirit of liberty , and equality that was intended for the ' people. I have studied the history of | the political parlies and the needs of] the people, and have seen how the Re publican was the p H-iy of the people and for the people. I have seen the curse of slavery cast its black pall over our fair nation —have read of fellow-crea tures being sold under our proud ban ner of the free, of chains ami cruelty, whips and suffering and have heard the Republican party say this curse must go. The war came, and I saw the brave bovs go down to the fields of death, and with throbing heart I read of terrible battles. The dread hour came, and I saw my brothers cold in death before me a sacrifice on (lie alter of the free. This but strengthened my devotion. The war ceased, and I heard the Republican party say, 'Let us have peace.' The accursed cloud ofaavery was scatU red to the winds, and the glad sunshine of universal liberty and equality smiled u|nm our fair laud once again. I am a Republican for these reasons. I am a Republican for the same reason any 1 other person is—because I believe in Republican principles. Excuse me, Mr. Reporter, but 1 am enthusiastic on this subject, and hardly know when to stop.' As the reporter was about to leave, Miss Buckley remarked that it was m>t sympathy she needed so much as votes, to which he replied he hoped she would receive them, and bid her good dav. Miss Buckley in appearance is rather an attractive lady, of medium height and well developed form, an intellec tual face and full prominent forehead, of brunette complexion, dark brown hair, and dark bright eyes that light up with marked expression, and i: an imated conversation are sometimes piercing. The lady is a smooth talker, and at times is very eloquent Her conversation reveals that she is a lady of considerable education, and her man ner shows her to be a woman of ?our age, wit an ambition to excel i j i whatever she undertakes. She is a lady of pleasant address and seems confident that she will receive the nomination, and if elected has no doubt of her ability to perform the duties of the office acceptably to the desires of the citizens of Armstrong county.

Ed itors: In your paper of the 13th, inst., ap pears an article over the signature of "A Citizen," entit'ed "COUIKV Superin tendent." the animus of which is very plainly apparent in the d.scussiou ol the question "who shall he be?" The author of that article is, evidently, not so much concerned about who he shall be, as who he shall not be. With the general observations ol "citizen" on the nature of the office, the qualifications of u su.table incumbent 4iid the importance of a careful and judicious selection at tin; approaching Directors' Convention, I heartily ayree; hut wilii the insinuation that the pres ent ii.cumbent is not worthy of re-elec tion I do not agree. It is certainly due to Mr. McKee to say, as "citizen" does (for he could not truthfully say otherwise), that ' lie lias each year visited the schools;" but too ad.J, "yet little g< od has been done ex pollec.tjug sls.li.->tics," is to make an a.-- seitioi; i;i relation to the -jood not done, as destitute of proof us is 'citizen's" knowledge of the facts outside of Lis OWn district. It is hut charitable to except iiin own di.-tpcj,, ami yet, il we were not charita ie and citizen" were to dare us to the proof there is no tell ing what O'-lier facts might be elicited. The point sought to be impje against the present iucumbent in the County Institute is as sharp as a bodkin and the argument shows just how much "Citizen" knows about what such insti tutes should be. He pyideutly does not apprehend what the law requires in such cases, nor has he any concep tion of ihe weight of responsibility which rests upon the Couu-.y Superin tendent in arranging for th> in and con ducting them. He eomplaius that the teachers, in the last institute, "were ignored altogether finfj were treated as though they weie not educated enough to take part in an institute." He ought to have have known that in arranging for the lap), ug well as for former insti tutes, Mr. .McKee applied personally and by letter to a number of teachers throughout the county, whom he re garded as competent, to take an active part ill the institute, but they all de clined. Why? They all said, in sub. stance, we want to be instructed and yon have the means at your command to pn cure competent instructors for us. And they were right. The county in stitute was never intended to be a teacher's (ii.'bfttipg society ; nor has its efficiency and perpetuity made peud upon the wisdom of those for whose instruction and profit it was created. How often would "citizen" attend the institutes if he knew that they wcrp to be carried on by the teach ers even considerably, not to say prin cipally ? Teachers are even more jealous and ' intolerant of each other than other pro | fessional men are, and no prudent County Superintendent would'ever | make the success of an institute depend I upon t heir co-operation alone ; nor even |to a U r go degree. It would only be repealed folly. "Cit zen" makes a few pertinent ob servations. to d : sguise his real purpose, about school visitation, the examina tion of teachers, and the like, and then expresses the desire that the Directors will choose for Coun y Superintendent "the best man that can be obtained, so as to have a thorough Superintendent to examine to chers" and conclipjes the whole with the exhortation, "weigh the merits of each candidate well. Let not party prejudice (for you cannot af ford that) but only merit decide your choice." The inuendos in these pious sayings, I have no doubt, Mr. McKee highly appreciates, particularly the one in re ! lation to a thorough Superintendent io ' examine teachers; and so, too, do many o the would-be teachers who were ex amined during his incumbency. ,- No rojjue <-Vr fell the hnltcr draw, With good opinion of the law." I would not say a word to tbe dis paragement. of a single candidate for the responsible office about which "cit izen" writes; but While he is evidently against Mr. McKee I am for him. 110 is undoubtedly well qualified for the position, morally, intellectually, eiluea- i tionallv, physically and practically, j The latter, to an eminent degree, by ! his recent experience. He has cont rib- j uted to the elevation of the standard of education during his term. Hi; has! been faithful, efficient and con-cieiitious in the discharge of nis duties, and, so j far as I know, is approved as a gentle- ; man, a scholar and practical man, by all those who are competent to judge j with whom he has come i r : contact. We do hope he will be re-elected. It takes a full term to become acquainted with the situation, the wants of the I schools, the characters and qualifica tions of teachers, <.VC., so as to attain in creased efficiency and secure real prog ress ; therefore, to elect anew man now, when not ouu of the other taudi-4 dates is at all more than the peer of the | present incumbent is neither politic nor j just Mr. McKee is worthy of a second term. It is due to him and to the cause ! ol popular education that he should be j re-elected, and I write, not for his thanks, but for the sake of the cause of the people; not near so anxiously, how- j ever, about the political bias as does my friend, "a citizen." Vox Popt Li. County Superintendent Question. | MESSRS. EDITORS : In your issue of April 13th. I find a long letter upon the subject of County Superintendancy, which I must say is beautiful in theory very deficient in sense. The letter was evidently for the purpose of creatine-an opinion in the minds of the illiterate, that the school system is badly man | aged, funds misapplied, and public offi -1 cials are delinquents in duty, or, if faith ful. discharged in such a manner as to be injurious rather than benefit- al. The writer of the article very well knows the area of the county, the average length of school term, the number of schools to be visited, and he also knows bow utterly impossible it is to remain more than one-half a day in each school, unless scKool boards will agree with each other to have their schools in sessio iat different seasons. Know ing all this, why write the aforesaid article simply a false pride, or to r« sent some imaginary insult? I indorse all that "citizen" savs in regard to "quali fications of Superintendants," but being familiar with the teachers of Butler Co , I regret to say we do noi, have such a perfect man, not even "citiaen" him self, who, doubtless, dreams he could fill the position to his own entire satis faction. "Citizen" enumerates the du tics of said officials, which to the unin itiated, sounds plausible enough, but the practice of some calls forth the censure of such teachers as "citizen" and a host of others. Speaking of teacher's Institute, "is a splendid enter • tainment, but a failure as fur as practi cal benefit to the teacher is secured," is incorrect. If anv teacher or citizen failed to receive benefit, it was because his mind was no' prepared for the seed sown. T!je in- traction given va.. open to criticism, leproof or approval during the entire session, and it was frequently urged upon teachers both by ojfi ials and instructors to embrace the opportunity. If teachers bad not enough interest in their profession ' > exhibit, a desire rot impi; >y.enient from among the best educators of our State, what do you suppose woul.l have been their conduct while some local diseuss ed the merits of sonic inetir ds originat el iu his own brain. Mr. McKee stated, that lie had individually solicit ed more than fifty teacheis to render nssistaiipe nl t he institute, mid perhaps "citzen'' could tell how many nspond < d to tlie call. Kxtra sessions were called at half-past eight for teachers to discuss b cal diiii- ult'.cs, and how many abused tf whets were present, think ye? I! tcie hers weia. not big l*s, it was because they chose to be little u's. Pci haps "lilizi n" would not be so anxious j'uf tjiptmioji examinations should Supt. lligbee pall iu all ifip State certificates. I never knew but ' oie Superiijtendaiit who used more than I one day in examinations, and he did not live to tbe expiration of his term of 1 office, and in consequence failed to reap his reward here. To hold a hiiili grade 'of certificate is certainly desirable,but it is the minor qualification of the teach' " cr. That the educator knows how to educate is infinitely more desirable. I wjll close with the sage advice of "citi zen." " Lrt only nn lit decide your ' choice " .11: ST ICE. P. rßcnal. 1 Hon. John 11. .Mitchell, late U.

READINO, PA., April IS. —Dr. Erd- 1 man, physician of the Lehigh poor house, reported that favorable Symp lons of recovery were exhibited in the case of («uyeniftere, "the slr< per." This is his sixty-fifth day. He opened biti eyes while being led around, and was apparently conscious of what was said to him and of gesticulations, it is thought now that he will soon regain | consciousness. His condition will bo 1 watched with increased interest. He now appears sensible of all that is going on around him. A slight tap on the nose while he was reclining on his cot caused him to smile The at tendant to-day caused hiiu to rise, and lead him around the room. Lifting his eyelids, the attendant "made a face" at him, which made him smile broadly 1 lie was then led out of his room down ; stairs into the yard and up and down [ in front of the alms house, after which j lie was given a bath. During all this ; time he appeared to know what was , taking place, though unable to speak and powerless to move of his own ac cord. Dr. Krdman has good hope "of the | ultimate recovery of the unfortunate man. The doctor receives many letters from all parts of the United States regarding the case. A well known spiritualist of Jacksonville, Flu., be. j seeches the doctor to allow no more experiments to be made upon the 1 sleeper, stating that the spirit of the i unconscious man is not present to protect the body, that for a wise and grand purpose his spirit is traveling through space gathering information that will be of great use to men in the future. i Iffsivo Yon FAIT.
