BUTLER CITIZEN^ JOHH H. T~W. C MEBtEV. PROPRS. Entered at the Postoffice at Butler as second-class* matter. THE Legislature will not probabh adjourn before the 26th inst. THEE* are at present four corps of railroad engineers in this county mak ing surveys. fin Temperance and Greenback tickets promise to mix matters up, po litically, in Ohio this fall. SUBSCRIPTIONS are being raised for the benefit of the widow of John Brown Mark Twain gave ten dollars. THE national debt was decreased $9,- 690,900, during the month of April. At this rate there will be no national debt in fifteen years. WHITELAW REID, editor of tbe New York Tribune, was married last week, Tuesday eyening, to Miss Elizabeth Mills, a daughter of D. O. Mills, whose wealth is estimated at over $0,000,000. BUSINESS at Coalville, on the line of tbe S. & A. road, is said to be lively, 200 tons of coal being mined per day, with the prospect of increasing the out put to 500 tons by July Ist. The com pany are also erecting 100 coke ovens. FATHER MAHONEY, of Erie, still con tinues to attract scores of people from all parts of the country, afflicted with disease, and who implicity believe in his influence with the Almighty to pro cure a complete cure* He has now 164 patients. PPESIDENT GARFIELD has determined to clean out tbe rascalities of Star Route Bervice. Such a performance, if done thoroughly, will be highly ap preciated by the people. Hunt the thieves down and punish them when discovered. THERE is a bill in tbe State Senate to refund $10,000,000 of tbe State debt at 4 per cent. A motion was made to sub stitute 3J per cent., tbe same rate as paid by tbe national government. This motion carried, but Mr. Greer, our Sen ator, voted against it Why ? AT the international Exposition at Melbourne, Australia, tbe United States received a larger portion of the awards than any other nation, aud also a larger percentage of tbe fiist degree of merit. Qnite a number are given for tbe exhibit of Philadelphia parties. GLADBTONB, responding to a plea from tbe Irish bishops for amendments to the land bill which shall have for their object the betterment of tbe laborer*, expresses himself as not only willing bnt earnest to frame a bill which shall deal justly and perm <nent ly with tbe whole Irish people. He is not sanguine, however, of satisfying everybody and holds oat but faint hope of amendment to *be bill as it stands. NOT the least satisfactory feature of the movement which the President is making to clean oat the dirty stable of the postal contracts—but, in fact, one of the very best features— is the fact that be has an Attorney-General who will press forward with sincerity and earnestness in the duty which is im posed on his department. Mr. Mac- Veagb is not one of those who are tar red with Brady's slick, lie doesn't train in that crowd. He may be de pended on to work up carefully and completely whatever cases properly come into his charge against any of those implicated in the crooked practi ces which the Postmaster-General is unearthing.— Record. ATTONTION iq directed to the call for a convention of the Teachers' Associa tion, of this county, in Butler on the 26th and 27th insts., at which Dr. Higbee. the newly appointed State Su perintendent of public instruction, will be present and lecture. From what we learn of Dr. Higbee from Prof. Tints man, who was a pupil of his for four years, and from other sources, we do not hesitate to say that a rare treat way be expected from him. His repu tation as a scholar and orator is among the highest in the State. The teachers of this county will be especially inter ested in hearing Dr. Higbee, and we have no doubt they will make it a point to be present. The lecture will be on the evening of tbe 27th, inst., subject, "the problem of life which education aims to solve." A NOTICK appears in tbe Democratic Herald, of this place, for a meeting of the Democrats of thiß county in their respective districts on Saturday, June 11, to send two delegates from each district to a county convention to be held in Butler on the following Mon day, June 13th, to nominate a county ticket.

DISPATCHES from Harrisburgsay ihat the friends of the Joint Resolution pro viding for an amendment to the State Constitution prohibiting the manufact ure and sale of liquor, have little or no hope of its passage by the Senate. The bill should have come up on first lead ing on Monday night, but a sufficient number of Senators absented themselves to prevent a quorum, and no action was taken. Nearly all the Democratic Sen ators were absent "< o reach the bi I, except in the regular order, will re quire a two-thirds vote and this cannot be secured. It is considered highly probable that it will not be considered on final passage this session. The method used by the opposition to pre vent its consideration is cowardly, and gives just cause for the indignation ex pressed by its friends Venango Citi zen. As Mr. Greer, our Senator, was home here last Monday week, and conse quently could not have been present at that Monday evening's session, it is fair to presume that he was among the ■ absent" Senators that prevented a quorum aud any action on the bill. JEFFERSON, Madison, Hamilton and James Wilson, all in the Convention that framed the national constitution and all of whom wrote upon and ex pounded it, laid it down as the proper and only rule that should guide the U. S Senate on the question of confirming the appointments of the President was, is the person proposed by the Presi dent a fit and worthy one. If so, he or they should be confirmed as a mat ter of course. If not, they should nut be. But Mr. Conkling and other pres ent Senators seem to think the ques tion should be, is the person named by the President a friend of ours. If so, all right ; and if not, we will refuse to confirm him, and we will keep up a dead-lock on all nominations until we have our owu frieDds. President Gar field has broken up this business. DEAI>-LO(H 11ROKE.V. The dead-lock in the United States Senate was broken last week by a skill ful movement of President Garfield Among the nominations sent to the Senate by the President for confirma tion was that of. Judge Robertson as Collector at the port of New York. This nomination did not please Roscoe Conkling, one of the Senators from the State of New York, and he undertook to prevent its confirmation by the Sen ate The President had also made other nominations for that State which were pleasing to that Senator, and up on tfce "Lordly Roscoe" displaying such hostility to one of bis appoint ments, and aiding to keep up a dead lock to prevent that particular appoint ment from being confirmed, the Presi dent withdrew the other appointments be had made, so that they should not be confirmed. This will have the effect of bringing the dictatorial Sena tor to terms. ID old times the only inquiry of the Senate in regard to the appointments of the President was, "is the appointee capable and honest." But now a new rule seems to be the fashion, and what is termed "senatorial courtesy" exists. By this rule some Senators require that all appointments in their State must be acceptable to them, and if they are not they will refuse to confirm them. By combining one with another under this system of leg-rolling, called "courtesy to Senators," the Senate could reject all appointments of the President. This would virtually make the Senate the appointing power instead of the I'resideut as the constitution con templates. Instead of appointments being made "by and with the consent of the Senate," they would be made by and at the dictation of the Senate. President Garfield has chosen to respeet the constitution and the rights it gives him, and the people will stand by him. He deserves all praise and support for frustrating Conkling's plans and letting that Senator and all other Senators know tiiat be is the appointing power. TUB situation in Russia is terrible. A reign of terror exists. The Czar is a prisoner in his palace, and St. Peters burg is a camp of goverment detectives, spies and soldiers, all on duty to devel ope and counteract the plots of the Nihilists. The Grand Duke Nicholas has been imprisoned for life, it having been proved that he was directly con nected with the revolutionists. In nearly every regiment of the army the Nihilists have made converts and their agents are secretly, yet certainly, de moralizing every branch of the public service. To such an extent has the spirit of unrest and disloyalty impreg nated the army that the government knows not whom to trust, and all in autbority are surrounded by detectives who report their every act. Practi cally Russia has no government. The will of the Czar has been the law of the land, but his edicts are no longer received with respect, or executed. The Nihilists recently issued a proc lamation regarding the execution of the assassins of the Czar, as follows: 'The verdict against the nihilists who have just received the martyr's crown, was dictated, as well as confirm sd, by the Czar. The first act of his autocratic will thus has been the hanging of women. Without waiting for his coronation he has sprinkled his throne with the blood of the champions ;jf national rights. Over the graves of r>ur colleagues we will continue our ifTorts after the liberation of the people; ive will no more be deterred by the ; gallows than were Salovieff and the | jtber champions of the last reign Ai-1 ter the eveut of the thirteenth of March Lhe executive committee informed the 'Biperor.the only means of reverting to lie path of peaceful development, was JV an appeal to the people Judging >y his example the supreme--power l«i* dec ted to appet&l to the hangman. So K) it. The committee defers pronounc ing on tbe jjtaera! pOiicy 4 z SJ*B Il» tBBL of the emperor, but it declares that reac tionarv policv will lead to consequen ces more disastrous than the event which took place in March.' The man ifesto concludes by appealing to all who would shake off slavery to co-op erate in the struggle for liberty. IC AI I.RO il>MO VE n E VTS. The present railroad movements hereabouts promise much of interest to our town and county, and may be sum med up as follows: Engineers for what is known as the great air-line road passed through this county last week. The enterprise con templates a direct or air-line route from New York city to Chicago and Omaha in the west. At first this might seem un enormous undertaking. Hut when it is understood that existing roads on the line, or as near as can be had to the same, are to be connected with and used, the project does not seem so great. It is stated that [.resent local roads can be used almost from New York to the Allegheny river. From that river to New Castle or \ oungstown Ohio, a road will have to be built. The direct line of the same passes within ten miles north of Butler. This is what was being surveyed last week, the sur veying party pas-sing between Union ville and Sunbury this county. They secure grounds for depots and stations as they pass along. Mr. Jav Gould, the great and wealthy ra'lr<md king, is said to be at its head, and great confi dence is expressed that work will soon be commenced on the road. Surveyors were also, last week, niak a preliminary survey froiu New Hope on the Sbenango and Allegheny road, to this place. A charter for this road, we notice was obtained recently, un der the name of the Connoquenessing Valley road, a name by the way that we think had better be changed, as froiu here down tbe creek, and not up, is generally known as tho "Connoque nessing Valley." But, under whatever name, we predict that this road, if made, will be one of tbe best paying in the whole country. Coal is its chief object, and it opens up a vast field of thut in this county. A track for coal has already been laid from New Hope station, Cherry township, to Coalville, about threa miles this way, and hun dreds of tons of coal are now carried upon it daily. When it reaches this place, it connects with tbe West Penn, of the same and thus passenger travel to Pittsburgh without change of cars, will be afforded to uio»t of the northern end of this county. Mr J. D. Kilkpatrick, of Merer county, and who is engaged as agent for obtaiuiug rights of way, was in this place last week and stales that several routes will be surveyed from Coalville to this place and the one ebo»ef} fbat will be best and on which the rights of way are most Ircely granted. As to obtain ing rights of way, we presume this road will have no difficulty, for 90 lar as we have learned, our people are waiting an opportunity to aid the en terprise. Movements for the Narrow Gauge connection between here and some point ou tbe Pittsburgh and Harmony road, also continues, aud reports a*e that work will certainly commence soon. A survey through the northern end of our town was made last week, one having been made in the southern end, along the creek, some days ago There is no longer any doubt of having a narrow gauge between here and some point near Evansburg, and when com pleted it will be the shortest route to Pittsburgh, by some fourteen miles, from this place. We hope soon to be able to record the fact that qelual work has commenced on this much needed connection. THE following letter of a citizen of this county expresses the very general feeling among the Republicans of this county on the subject to which it alludes, and we therefore copy it: CONK LI NO ANI) THE ADMINISTRATION. To the Editora of the Commercial Gazette: Allow me ia a few words to cx|»r&t>d my approval of the stand you have taken in regard to the confirmation of Judge Robertson. While the Senate lias the unquestionable right to reject artv appointment the President may make, vet that high prerogative should be exercised only when the appointee is considered iueflfjeieut. As Senator Conkling has plainly rtaunj that he puts this whole matter on grounds, he is prostituting his high office to an unworthy purpose I haye been a utalwart all my life, but I will not be led iuto opposition to President Garfield's administration by Mr. Con kling or any othe Senator or class of men. The Republican party is too intelligent and patriotic to submit to any such imperial dictation. If Mr. Conkling persists in this Course, and rests his case on the flimsy grounds of personality towards Judge Robertson, it will result in one of two things—erther Mr. Conkling will have his locks shorn of their strength, or else the Republican party will be hopelessly divided; and as for me, give me tju> ojfl party in preference to any man in it. I knot? it is the wish of every Republican in this vicinity that Senators Cameron and Mitchell vill vote for the confirma tion of Judge Robertson. I hope you will stand by the position you have taken Very truly, TI. E PAINE. PARKER'S LANDIMO, PA,, April 29. Cwiiiioqiu-iieKolni; Valley Hall* road.

MESSRS EDITORS: —The Direcnus' convention is over and Mr. Murtland is County Superintendent for the next three years. Mr. McKee's friends, so far as I know, accept tut! tL}:ition and are willing to accord to hitu the »> >ntj dence and co-operation necessary to ineoura<je him in h's endeavors to pro mote the interests of popular educa tion. The thing which Mr. McKee's friends desired for him was, that as a reward of fro sfjotild have the privilege of a second term, utid, J (Jofjbt net tbev will be disposed to extend the .yinje fa vor to Mr. Murtland if he shall prove meritorious—at any rate, »s they rea son, they do not think that th° opy term principleshould be continued with out exceptions. They reason thus. It requires fully two thirds of the term to take in the situation, to become ac quainted with the directors and teach ers. and to settle such plans and meth ods of fvork as shall be calculated to at tain the best |"be first two years, therefore, with a ne.vv man if*'*?, at best, only years of expjriuieut; but one year remaiiiH in which to secure tbe benefit of such and that the lust of the aerviee of any incumbent no matter how efficient; and thou, there i.s the risk incurred every three years of •retting an inefficient man if there must be another incumbent elected every term ; and then, too there is tbe temptation to pass through the term as easily as possible if the incumbent knows it is for only one term in any event. The pay is good and it is sure and pj ijiK-un; it may be the only consid eration, viewed iq tl}i« Jjjjbt the one term principle does not accowpjlfl} for popular education what it should in view of what It co.-its, Let it be understood that merit may lie rewarded by a second, even a third term and he beneficial results areeasily conjectured. The incumbent will strive to be diligent, faithful and efficient that he man merit a re-election and the ben efit to popular edu ation will te propor tionate. We would not deejrp # Jopfrer term than the law now makes. Threeyeaio long enough to be annoyed with an in competent, unfaithful officer ; but we de sire. the privilege of re-electing the man who is capable, agreeable and useful, and who endeavors honestly and con scientiously to do his whole duty with courteous respect for the people. TvP County Superiutendency is one office in which the man who is bland and giacious and %l| smiles to every body before the election; and then afterward becomes so grurn, dignified and consequential that he don't see any body he meets and don't recognize even his frieuds.

The river on the 29th was 23 feet above low water mark, at St. Joseph being 3 feet higher than the highest ppipt reached in 1844 at the time of the great Ire»hot, 4'! freshets in the Missouri will now date from 1 April 1881. Many acres of land have already been swept away by the swollen tide, and many more must follow as the stream recedes. The railroads at St. Joseph are gen erally abandoned. At Amazonia, a afiflrt distance above, the river is one vast ekp<tub£ of water from bluff to bluff, all the inland* intervening lieing : overflowed. The distance between tfi/? the bluffs is said to be 12 miles. The French bottom, a short distance north of St. Joseph, is completely un-j der water and the inhabitants (about 50 families) have all left.
