BIJTLERCITIZEN_ C. WEBLEY PBOP'BS, Entered at the PoMojffice at Butler as second-classs matter. TH* Legislature will adjourn the 26th of May. MAYOR LYON has five colored men on his police force. Pretty good for a Democratic Mayor. JOHN BLACK, ESQ , has been appoin ted a Justice of the Peace for this bor ough in the place of Henry Pillow, deceased. JAMBS H. MURTLAND was elected County Superintendent of schools, at the Directors Convention yesterday, on the 7th ballot. GEORGE A. BLACK, Esq., whose health has been bad for some time past, has gone to Bedford Springs, in the hope of getting some benefit from the same. Latest news from him says he is im proving. WILLIAM KENNEDY, Esq., of Peon township, is announced this week for Coroner, as will be seen by the announcement list. This will probably complete the announcements made for the coming Republican Primary. THE Bald Ridge well continues to pump at the average rate of eight barrels per day. The belief grows stronger that as soon as the great flow of salt water is exausted or mastered an increase of oil will follow. Companies are being formed for sinking two more wells in that neighborhood. THE green grass was never more beautiful and welcome than it is this spring. The poetic "beautiful snow'' has given away to the more "beautiful grass." The meadows are richly green and give great promise. The grain fields also look very fine and the farmers have hopes of good crops. The oats have generally been sown and the ground for the corn is being prepared. All appearences favor fine yields. THE Republican candidates are moving around the county quite briskly. They have about a month's time yet to see the voters, which we presume they will occupy to the best advantage. In this connection we might state that the can didates for Prothonotary have agreed to make no personal canvass for the nomi nation to that office, leaving their cases with their friends and the voters. There are good men out for all the offi ces and a good ticket should be selected from them. 81-METALLISM to be successful must be universal, but it evidently cannot be that, for the English Government does not intend to lie a party to the double standard. The Loudon Efono m ist says: "If the action of the Unit ed States is in any way dependent on that of England, the rejection of the bi-mctallist proposals follows as a mat ter of course. This country certainly will never consent to their adoption." The Pall Mall Gazette says: "Eng land can no more adopt bi-metallism than she can change her language." THE United States Treasury build ing in Washington contains over $1 ,400,000 of unclaimed interest upon | Goverment bonds. This sum is grow ing larger every day. This money can be drawn by applying for it to the Secretary of the Treasury by those en titled to it, stating the number of the registered bond upon which the inter est is due and unpaid. There are thousands of persons who have bought bonds and not knowing how to get the interest on them, prefer to lose the \ same rather than expose the fact that they have the bonds. Others have in terest due them and actually forget the fact, and it lies in the Treasury vaults waiting for them to apply for it. Should one of the clerks in th . bond division inform a person to whom in- j terest is due of the fact, and the same be discovered, be would be instantly discharged. ALL we have to say as to the item of Legislative proceedings, given in this paper we<;k before last, and to the effect that "Mr. Greer offered a reso lution in the Senate to adjourn that body from a Thursday of one week to the Tuesday of the next week," is, that the same item was published in all the press of the State that come under our eye. We think we copied from the Pittsburgh Commercial-Gazette, or the Pittsburgh Dispatch, both of which give synopsis of daily Legislative pro ceedings. The Eagle answers its own complaint by its Harrisburg letter, which immediately follows its charge of last week, by admitting that "the re ports of Legislative proceedings were not always correct." We never moke any statement that we fail to correct if found not correct. The Eag.e would have more character if it would do the same thing. It is the last paper that, we know of that should be charging falsehood on others. THE PRESID» XT FIRM. Last week a number of Senators called upon President Garfield and en deavored to induce him to withdraw the name or agree to the holding over of the confirmation of Judge Robert son, as collecter of the port of New York. This was at the instance of the "imperial" Senator Conkling of New York, who has a personal ill-feeling to Judge Robertson. President Garfield informed them that he was acting (or . the best interests of the country in making his appointments, and as Judge Robertson was an eminent Republican and fully qualified for the office, he de clined to be thus dictated in the mat- j ter otiifrappfclaturtfct* ] THE JUDICIARY BILL. A Gross Insull Offered to But ler County. The State Senate last week passed to third reading the bill known as the Judiciary apportionment bill. Bv it some of the judicial districts of the State will be remodeled. This crises under the law providing for a re-dis tricting after each census taken. The law allows a county that the census has shown to possess forty thousand of a population to be a separate judicial district. Our county having attained that number of population, as shown by the late census, it was generally ex pected, and generally desired, that we should be declared a separate district. Lawrence county, with which we are at present joined, also desire* to be a separate district. To this our people and our members of the Legislature made no objection, and make none now, although it is well known that Law rence county does not have the neces sary forty thousand of a population. That is a matter that concerns the law officers of the State more than any others. The bill as now passing in the Seoate separates the two counties, making Butler and Lawrence each a separate judicial district. But in num bering those districts a gross and a needless insult js offered to this county The bill takes from this county the p)d original number that she has had for more than fifty years, and places that number to Lawrence county. Since the time that "the memory of man runneth not to the contrary" Butler county has been in and known as part of the "ITth Judicial District This was the 17th district when it was com posed of Butler, Beaver and Mercer counties. When Mercer was separat ed from us she received a new number, 35th district, we believe. When Beaver was separated from us, she re ceived a new number, 36th district. Butler through all these changes re tained the old number, the 17th dis trict. The present district of Butler and Lawrence retains the same num ber. Lawrence, it might be stated, was formed out of Beaver and Mercer counties. But this bill now proposes to rob us of this old name and number and give us a new number, that of the 51st district. The bill fays Lawrence county shall retain the old number, 17 and Butler have a new one, the 51st, And why ? Why should the older, the larger and greater county, be thus treat ed? John M. Greer, our Senator, may think he is not understood in this mat ter. But his object is too apparent. The object is revealed in the 12th sec tion of this Senate bill, that he appears to have special charge of and calls up in the Senate quite frequently. This 12th section of the bill provides in sub stance as follows: SEC. 12. Where two judges are now residing in the same disrrict. and that district is by this act divided, the presi dent judge of the same is hereby as signed to the couuty bearing the num ber of the district in which he was elected; and the aditional law judge shall be assigned to and be tte Presi dent judge in the other county. And if both are residents of the same county, the judge not living in the county to which he is hereby assigned, shall, within three months, take up his per manent residence in the county to which he is so assigned, or else a va cancy is hereby declared to exist in the same." Judge McJunkin is the President Judge of this present district, Butler and Lawrence counties, and Judge Bredin is the Additional Law Judge of the same. They are both residing in this county. If the district is divid ed according to the provisions of this 12th section, Judge McJuukin, the President Judge, would be "assigned" to Lawrence county, as that county will be "bearing the number of the old district, 17th." and Judsje Bredin, the present Additional Law Judge, will be assigned to aud lie President Judge in this county, the new 51st. The object is manifest. It is to "assign," or rather an attempt to exile Judge McJunkin j to Lawrence county, in the hope that i Mr. Greer and perhaps some others j have, that by that means they may ; put him out of the way of some aspir ! ants for his place on the Bench here I when it become vacant. They would | not only compel him to go to Lawrence county, but to "take up his permanent ; residence there, or else a vacancy is ' hereby declared to exist" in said Law rence county courts, This whole thing is such an inappropriate, if not such an | inde. ent thing, that all honorable men of all parties denounce it as soon as beard of; and we predict, that if it is • carried out, it will rebound and react on the inventors in such a way and at ! such a time as they least desire, i Mr. Senator Greer's hostility to Judge McJunkin is well known. He is taking advantage of his little brief authority and playing such fantastic tricks as only serve to show to the peo ple of this county his real character. I We do not believe such a bill will pnss the Legislature and be approved, nor do we believe that the Legislature lias the power to do all that the said 12th section of said bill attempts. But be this as it may, our people and our Bar feel justly indignant at this attempted ' alight to our county, The whole mat ter can be accomplished just as well, sind with far more propriety, by per mitting Butler to retain her old name and number as a district. This will not interfere with our neighbor Law : rence county in getting to be a sepa ' rate district, to which all assent, and will at the same time be recognizing those just proprieties in life and a due regard for long established facts. | 137"Advertise ia the Crruas. Puller Citizen: lltitUr, s3*.. Mag 4, 1881. JUDGE WILLIAMS, of Potter county, ! gives a flattering account of the public morals, economy and comfort of the people of the county that is yet with out a railway and is the paradise of the sports who seek the deer and the fowl. He says: "in twenty years there has not been a licensed hotel or restaurant within the confines of the county. There are enough of both at all suitable places for the accommoda tion of the public, but in none of them is there a public bar. The sale is con ducted,therefore, at great disadvantage, clandestinely, and is very limited in amount. As to results, I can say that while the county is steadily growing in population and business, pauperism and crime nave steadily decreased. For the past five years the ccuritv jail has been fully one-half the t'rue with out any other inmate than tJip keeper and his family. Twice within the past ten years I have, at the regular terms | of court, discharged the jury on the | 6epond day of the term without their i having been called to consider a case jof any description. The effect of this system is felt in many ways; taxes are reduced, the business of the crim inal courts greatly diminished, indus try and sobrie y take the place of idle ness and dissipation, aud intelligence j and morality are advanced." The Constitutional A mendmect As sociation. It does uoi l b e Legislature to amend the Constitution. It does j)' t ask the members of the Legislature to vote in favor of an amendment. The ppjendment must obtain, if at all, by the vole pf tfip people of the State. It does ask the Legislature to e#bipit the amendment to the decision of the pop ular vote. Can any proposition be mSre reasonable? Should not the liquor fraternity agree to this most rea sonable proposition ? To Ministers of the QosfiCl ijl Penn sylvania. DEAR BROTHERS: —Your heip is great ly needed now in our extremity. Our advices are that there is now a dispo sition iu th# SpH.aJc among politicians to let our Amendment biuep jyithopt action on it, till the Legislature ad journs sine die. A member of the Leg islatuie writes to us under date of the 17th, of April e»ying "The pressure of the liquor men to defeat the measure is terrible." They threaten to defeat the Republican party who have the power, if they permit the Amendment to pass, and some of those who are conscien tiously in favor of the measure are yielding to the pressure. The Wine and Spirit Exchange at Philadelphia, have issued a circular to their friends saying that the Amend ment must be killed in the Senate. Shall the people of our Stale be told that they will not be permitted to vote on a question that BO greatly effects their interests? We appeal to you dear brothers to use your great in fluence to defeat the wiles of these devilish schemes, and by writing to those Senators with whom y«u may have influence, and by inducing Chris tians of influence to write, by reading this appeal in your Congregation and exhorting all to earnest prayep und work to insure success for the Amend ment.

LOU'SVILLE, APRIL 28 —Heavy rain, hail, and lightning prevailed iu this city at 1 o'clock. Four bovs, and a horse dragging a wagon in which they were riding, were killed in the West Eud by lightniog. The accident occurred at Twenty-sixth and Market, where the boys were playing base ball. Their ages ranged from twelve to fourteen. The boys were pupils of the school, and the disaster happened at reeess Their namesare Lee Fleek, Joe Shultz, Will Thalser aud Harry Soety. The three first named died a few minutes after being tawen to their boou s in the neighborhood, the latter was burned beyond recognition. Their game was just concluded, and the bell summon ing them to their school duties was ringing, thereby causing the boys to l»e in the same spot, where their coats and hats had been placed before they began the game. As the flash struck the earth the boys were for a moment obscured from sight, so vivid was the lightning. When the few people in the neighbor hood again looked toward ihe boys they were all flat on the ground. wo gen tlemen ran to the spot aud, to their hor ror, discovered the four dead, with faces upturned toward the sky from which they had so recently received their last summons. Two other boys stunned lay near their companions. The gen tlemen quickly procured water and put out the fire in the boys' clothing aud stamped out the flames from parts of their garments which had been ren; from the bodies by the lightning stroke Vain efforts had been previously made to revive those who appeared lifeless, and four of whom had been recog ized as positively dead. Physicians arrived shortly after the accident, who after ex amination found that four out of the six had beeu instantly ki'led. The lightning culminated immediately over Soety, son of the teacher, to whose class all the boys belonged. The spot of earth which bears marks of the bolt could be covered by a bushel measure. The surface of the ground is but little disturbed and resembles a hole which might have been driven in with a crow bar. On the ground two or three feet from the spot from where the bult en tered could be seen, when a reporter visited the place, pieces of clothing, parts of shirts, drawers, suspenders and fragments of boots all burned aud black ened by the electric fire, resembling a of chopped up rugs baked ready for the papermaker. Young Soety wa- worse disfigured than any of the rest. His clothes were literally burned from bis body, and pieces of scorched clothing were picked up on the spot where he fell. His body was burned to a crisp and blackened and scarred 'n a horrible manner. A piece of his undershirt, picked Uj by a reporter, looks like a rag which had been burning on a stove and suddenly extinguished by a dash of water. j— Edilorhil Approval, Mr. W. J. editor.

A Terrible t nlunilly in Elgin, 111. ELGIN, 111., April 28—Between 8 aud 9 o'clock this morning a small boat runuing over the Fox river between East and West Elgin as a ferry to take the place of the bridge recently washed away was capsized, and all the passen gers, to the number of about fifteen, with but one exception, were drowned. , the boat was a mere scow just purchas j ed at a cost of $l5O, and was propelled iby a rope. The first trip was made ' yesterday afternoon. Those lost aro mostly school children, who were oi i their way to school on the West Side. The accident occurred in mid-stream, j but from what cause cannot be told.
