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.

From the Kittanninn ( Armstrong county) 1- ree
Press, of April 21.
OUR L ADY CANDIDATE.
Miss Margaret L Buckley, of Free
port, being iu town 1 st week, a FREE |
PRESS reporter was detailed to inter- j
view her on the subject of her candida
cy for the office of Register and Recor
der in this county. The reporter met
Miss Buckley in the office of Gilpin it
McCain, attorneys, and after making
known his business, the following con
versation took p'ace :
By the Reporter —'Consid -ring that
your announcement as a candidate fot
Register and Recorder is rather novel,
being the first of the k'.nd in this coun
ty, it is a matter of interest to the citi
zens and has created a curiosity and de
sire to know something of your posi
tion as to the law, it being generally
supposed that a woman is ineligible to
the office that you deeiie.*
Well, mv positiou before the people
is that of a" tax-paying resident of the
countv As to the law, my legal ud\ i
sors tell me that if I receive the nomi
nation and am elected, there is nothing
iti the Constitution to prever-t up
holding the office.'
'Have you any objection to giving
the names of your attorneys who gave
you this advice ?'
•Well, at present I would prefer not
to name them.'
'Taking the qualifications of a voter
as a basis, and the spirit of the law be
ing that the officers are to be taken from
the qualified electors, and a woman
not being ajlowed to vote, upon what
principle do you tliiug sl>e can bji elect
ed ?'
'Well now, really, I am not familliar
with the law : I know no law, but have
the opinion of aide lawyers who do,
tmd that is that I am eligible. Some
two years ago I bad an impression
that Mr Chamber?' time would expUe,
ami began preparations for a canvass.
I wrote a letter to Attorney General
i aimer asking his opinion on the sub
ject, but be evaded a direct answer and
wrote me to lake legal advice, which I
did. I have wrote to him again, asking
fo> a direct answer, and am expecting his
reply at any tifljo J come before the
people as one of them—a tax-paying
resident of tie county. 1 have been
paying taxes into the county treasury
for a number of years—have done my
share to build the county buildings and
pay the expenses of the county—have
paid taxes and helped to build and
maintain the public schools. I am a
citizen of the county, ami have perform
ed my duties as a citizen fai'htuliy,
every citizen should.'
How about the female suffrage ques
tion ?'
'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.
Blcncou.
'Deacon Wilder, I want you to tell
me how vou kept yourself and family
well the oast season when all the rest
of us have been sick so much, and have
hail the doctors visiting us so often.
'Bro. Taylor, the answer is very easy.
I used Hop Bitters in time; kept my
family well and saved the doctor bills.
Three dollars' worth of it kept us well
and able to work all the time. I'll
warrant it has cost you and the ncigh
b< rs one to two hundred dollar apiece
to keep sick the same time.' 'Deacon
I'll use your medicine hereafter.'
County Superiuteadent.
Messrs. 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.

Awaking from a Long Sloop.
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
