BITLER CITIZEN'.. man ». * w. c. >C6IEV morns, Entered at the Post office at Butler as second-classa matter. \ AN exchange suggests "that the Leg islature is now working for nothing and boarding themselves." IT was by but one of a majority that Stanley Matthews was confirmed as a judge of tbe Supreme Court of the United States WITH a bomb under it and a trip hammer suspended over it, the future of Boss-ism looks just a trifle precari ous.—N. Y. Tribune. CAPT. ZIBGLBR, editor of the Herald, was confined to his bouse last week with an attack of lumbago, a rheumatic affection of tbe muscles of tbe back. We are pleased to see him moving about again this week. W K are requested to say that tbe agreement made by tbe candidates for Prothonotary, not to make a personal canvass of tbe coun'y, does not extend to and was not intended to prevent them from going to public meetings, vendaes and so forth. * TH* Republicans of this county have four candidates for Associate Judge, eight for Sheriff, four for Prothonotary, seven for County Treasurer, nine for Register k Recorder, four for Clerk of Courts, seventeen for County Commis sioner, two for Coroner and five for County Auditor, to choose from at the coming primary, June 4. TH* case of Lackie against Woods, the first taken up in Court on Monday of tbia week, was suddenly cut short by one of tbe parties alledging surprise aa to certain efidence, and claiming thereby a continuance. Tbe parties reside in Clinton township and had subpoenaed quite a number of witnesses, all of whom were pleased to get going home so soon. VKRY general indignation is express ed by tbe people of thie county at tbe attempt to take away from tbe county its old number as a Judicial district, and. as a consequence, to transfer tbe President Judge of tbe same, Judge McJunkin, to another county We bare seen men of all parties from all parts of ttoe county, and instead of the feeling being here as we understand it is represented at Harrisburg to be, we can say, without the fear of public con tradiction, that five-sixths of tbe pejple of tbe county arc not only opposed to tbis movement but denounce it as an outrage. THX article in the CITIZEN some weeks ago, exposing tbe secrecy of the so called "Lincoln Club" of this place, bas met with very general favor and approval. Tbe old Republicans of tbe county cannot understand why there is secrecy in their party or politics. The idea of having a secret political associ ation within the ranks of the party is new to tbem. Tbey say tbey have one Republican partyno w and that is all they want. Several of onr exchanges have also commended tbe sentimentsexpress cd in our paper. Any candidate ascer tained to be nominated by that kind of influence will certainly fare badly in tbe fall. CAN IT BE DONE T Tbo opinion is very freely expressed that that provision of ihe Judiciary bill pending in the Legislature which requires certain of the present judges to change their place of residence, is in violation of the Constitution of the State. Article 5, section 19, judiciary, says: "The judges of the Supreme Court shall reside within tbiscommon wealth, and Ihe other judges shall re side within the districts for which tbey shall be elected." The first elec tion under tbe new Constitution was in tbe year 1874, when the Common Pleas Judges were "elected" for ten years, according to tbe provisions of tbe'constitution. Judges Bredin and McJunkin were elected in this 17th judicial district, Butler and Lawrence counties, for said term of ten years. When tbey were voted for and "elect ed" tbeir residence was known to the voters, to wit: that tbey both resided in the county of Butler. Tbo voters tben, in tbe exercise of their right of suffrage, fixed their place of residence for said ten years. How then can a Legislature now come in, at the end of only six or seven years, and say that one or either of said judges H hall change bis place of residence ? Can the Leg islature alter, limit or enlarge wliut the electors done for said ten years ? Was tbe t-lace of residence, so that it is "within tbe district," not as vested a right in tbe judges 'elected' as that of any other right they acquired under their election? mere sepurating of tbe two countii s and making each a separate district cannot change what was established by tbe law and the vo ters when tbey elected their judges in 1874 for ten years. They are liable to duty and service for that time "within the district." Courts have to IK: held within tbo same as heretofore, and that is all that can be required of the judges within said ten years That part of th« 12th section of the judiciary bill now in tbe Legislature should therefore be amended as not to apply to this 17th district, or any other district similarly ulTected by it. There are a number of good lawyers in the House, where tbo bill now is, who wo believe will concur in this view of this question. Lawyers who hive examin ed the subject express this opinion. We have no doubt the matter will re ceive that attention from the 'eg ' gen* tlcmen bi tbe House that it d< rv v'o iweivo, »uK. PILHEY HOME 40AIX. Oar citleens are to again Bee upon our streets Dr. J. M. Gilkey. who has just retured from \ ucatan, a State of Mexico. It is, perhaps, uot gener ally known that for sonic fifteen year* p»at Dr Gilkey has fouud it necessary for hia health to ywit » WW climate every winter. His constitution being too feeble to stand the winters of the north be goes south, leaving his family here, wbom bf returns to every summer if possible. We bare nefer seen hi*" look better than he now does. Yuca tan and its chief city and capital, Meri da, is his home when south, and where he (successfully practices his pro fession while there. Jlis account, given us last week, of Yucatan is quite inter esting. He states that neither frost or snow is ever known there, the weather being *lw*ys nearly as mild as here at present. The eountry, which hereto fore has Wen rocked and torn by the many revolutions that take place in Mexico, he states is now peaceful and prosperous. Railroads are being built and the export trade of Merida, a city of some thirty thousand people, has j been quadrupled witbiu the last few years. Coffee, rice and cotton are rais ed, but the chief article of culture is a kind of hemp, which is made and ship ped to all countries. Tne people are a mixture of Spanish and Indian and generally small in stature. He has no doubt but that when Mexico comes to have a stable government it will In-come a great and prosperous country. The many internal wars and changes of j rulers, f< llowed by the many and heavy | taxes that the people baye to pay, have j kept the country hack. Taxes he states are pledged and collected by the Gov ernment for years in advance. "»he Doctor mentions many other features of Yucatan w bicb we may refer to again. KwHllowing € lurry IMi*.

That kind of boy is very upt to ■ have cronies who are eager to forward j his schemes and divide the profits, i For the benefit, however, of the senior j Senator from New] York, who is just; now threatening to make way with ! himself if he cannot have all he wants, and of the noble band of devoted adhe rents who are wildly beating the air and calling upon the Administration to let him have his own way lest he swallow the cherry-pits and fly away to be an angel on the of perity phlitis we be>f to remark that this | was an exceptionally indulgi-nt and , timid grandmother, and that there is no record of the same boy's playing the cherry-piis on her the second time. No boy can do that sort of thing habit ually unless bis grandmother i« in her dotage. The Republican party is al ways indulgent and sometimes timid, but not yet in its dotage. Hy grace of the republican party, Senator Conkliog h: s for twenty years held very and important public positions, and a large piirt of the time has wielded enormous power. For eiffbt years he had absolute control of a larger amount of patronage than any i other ball dozen Senators, while his in fluence at the White House was such j that its occupant defer ed to his lijrht- j cut wihh, ordering the formalities of of- ■ fitial intercourse so as to conform to his prejudices and adapting his social , relations to his whims. Threatened with a diminution of this absolute pow- j er in 1870, he for a long time held him- j nijf in suspense between the two par- !

Defeated in the attempt to regain his former dictatorship by putting upon the party the candidate of his and not their cloice he fell again into sullen ness and for a time refused to be con ciliated, even by the selection of his nearest friend for second piace. There was more talk of cherry pits, but he present I v abandoned the idea of suicide and concluded to help save the party upon which his own political life de pends . And now we have bim again, as of old, demanding the whole and threat ening mischief to the party if he is not humored.

Y. Tribune, May 11, 1881. An Iui|»Qf!»»»• Ountfioii Decid ed l»y Jndgv Judge Acheson, sitting in the United States Circuit Court yesterday, made a dieision of considerable importance to business men generally. The ques tion referred to tbe court was: Does the agreement by a national banjf to receive a greater rate of interest that allowed by the laws of the State and the adding of the same into the note, thereby increasing the principal, destj-oy the interest bearing power of tbe note from the tipie such ill«gif| con tract was executed? The parties were I tbe Farmers and Mechanics bank, of Mercer, plaintiff, and Seth Hoagland, defendant. The facts of the case are as follows: In 18?0 tbe bank fpade a loan • to tbe Mercer County Insurance Com pany, Seth Hoagland being guarantor. The interest paid for some time was 10 per ceut Some months after tbe loan was made the note was renewed and interest agreed upon at the rate of 10 per cent, per annum, and added to the principal, but not paid. This note was renewed from time to time until the case in suit was made. The defendant contended that the bank having viola ted the law iu agreeing to accept illegal interest and adding tbe same to tho note destroyed the interest bearing | power of the note from the d;>te the ! illegal contract was agreed on. Judge Acheson in bis opinion stated that it was clear that tbe charging of 1 usurious interest worked a forfeiture of the entire interest. But the defendant cannot wt»off against the plaintiffs claim the usurious interest paid the bank; tbe only recourse being undep the penal statute which provides for a fine of double tbe amount of the ! usurious interest taken. He also deci- ded that the plaintiff could not recover ' tbo Interest charged at the earlier re ! newals, at rates iu excess of the legal rate and included as part of the princi pal iu the notes in suit For tbo Ja»t j two years the bunk hod only charged I legal interest, 0 per cent p«r annum, I and one of the questions raised wan ; I Can there »e any recovery for interest ! front the dates at which tho liftllk re i duced its charge to a legal rate? Judge ; Acheson decides this in the negative. . The reduction of tho interest to legal ; rates did not purge the transaction of its usuriou qualities, and tbe ill< gality j of the original transaction carries its j effects throughout all its changes, : 'Furthermore, upo r every (resb renew- Jal interest was charged upon the ; usurious interest which hud entered into the prior notes as principal. Thus the rate was reduced but noiuiually to si* per centum, for with reference to the amount legally due the rate was in thereof, it appears, therefore, from the admissions upon this record, that tin; bank from first to last presided in its usurious charges ' The opinion con. eludes: 'lt is added, however, that one of the notes in suit includes an item of indebtebness of *lO2, growing I out of an independent matter. Upon the demurrer and under the stipulation of the parties let final Judgment be en tered for the plaintiff, the judgment to include, first the face amount of the original notes, to wit, SO,OOO, without interest, and second, the nun of $lO2, with interest of the hitter sum to be computed by the clerk.'— Pittxbu-yh Com mere, iu I-Oati'llf, M">j 11.

If they are set king an endorsement of the : r con duet tiy means of rc-eietiiojj, tiiee*per imcnt is a dangerous one to make with a legislature that a little whileago unan imously approved the nomination of Robertson. Perhaps after all the simplest explanation is the true one. Perhaps Conkling and Piatt have c<>q. c'udcd that if ihe Senate Is anything more than an instrument for the distri bution of patronage their occupation is gone, they can do the State no further service. If this shall turn cut to be the ti-ipb. tbe grateful people will treat them magnanimously and will even spare the obvious comment, that noth ing in their political life has became them like their leaving it.

The Utica Iff raid will say: The wording of Henator Conkling'* letter proves the resignation is a display (if I spite because the President refuses to surrender to his control the functions i of his office. The net degrades the offlco ! of Senator to the level of a mere broker in patronage. The resignations are made with the expectation that (he ex piring Legislature will immediately re »dppt both Senators. If this should occur they would go bwk without an added particle of moral strength 'php Legislature was elected on u different issue, and If Conkling thinks he posess es oratorical legerdemain© to coax a vindic tion out of sueh an election lie under-cstimates the common sense of the country. From any point of view it Is the Oct of a man who has lost his head, or at least jiaa devised a dramat ic episode in order to hidethp igtjoqiiiiy of his complete and utter rout.
