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, »u<i if tb*t part of »»l<i iitfe,
section of the bill is in violation of tbe
constitution that it will not be suffered
to pass in its present shape.
THE"LOBUI<\"' ROSC'OE.
On Monday last Roscoe Conkling. a
Senator in the United States Senate
from the State of New York, resigned
his seat in that body, inducing his
brother Senator,Piatt,to also resign his
seat and go out with bim. This is
about as amusing a bit of news as it is
surprising. The reason given is that
| President Garfield did not consult said
Senators when making all bis appoint
ments for that State. One important
appointment Conkling has, for more
than a month past, been endeavoring
to defeat ; but finding it would be bon
firmed, and the President sustained, he
flies in tbe face of both the Executive
and I egislative branches of the Gov
ernment, and now resigns his seatrath
j er than submit to the will of tbe major
! ity. For a long time Conkling has
been regarded as the most vindictive,
ambitious and dangerous mau in tbe
. Republican party, and if be now only
' goes to private life entirely it will be
good for the'party and for tbe country.
This act reveals to_all his malignant
character. The attempt to insult the
President and his brother Senators will
meet with its merited contempt. The
Government will go on better without
the aid—or hindrance rather—of this
• imperious and dictatorial Senator. He
was onfe well discribed as a "strutting
to key gobbler." The people of iNew
York should be glad of the opportunity
to fill his place with a better man.

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

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- !
' ties, while his opponents ojM-nly gloried '
in hi>« impending apostaey. Hut he ;

temptuous hostility and the character
of its most bitter personal and political
foe. 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

was more talk of cherry pits, but he

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

flip # ?'• /W popi|nppt?a= follows
on the resignations of rlati ami Conk
ling: It' they have resigned in a pet,
because they have not b< en allowed to
! have their own way. the act is con
temptible in its childishness. If their
object ij? to rH'I'RK- 0
the president and the Repjibhcaii par
ty. not only is the proceeding undigni
fied and unmanly, but it is not clear
how it can be effectual. 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 Albany evening Journal says:
The purpose of these resignations ig
doubtless to secure a personal vindica
tion from the Legislature for the cause
they have in their opposition
to the nomination of Judge Robertson.
They doubt IP6O fancy they have a
'sure thing' They place themselves
in hands of a jury they believe to IK; air
ready packed to render a verdict in
their favor.
A VOICK FROM CONKLINU'S IIOJ|K.
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.
TUB NEWS AT A MIA NY
ALBANY May lfi.—When the news of
the resignation* of Senators Conkling
and IMatt was received it was bulletin
ed by the evening papers, but elicited
little interest The hotels as usual on
Mondays, were quite empty, and those
who tiiljfed of the matter simply won
dered what would be the next move
ment. Later members of the J'Cgjg.
lature commenced arriving, when s'»i»e
interest was manifested. No one,
however, appeared to know what would
l>e the result of the action. Not a few
thought both Senators would be re
elected, and it <vas suggested Conkling
would be elected to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Piatt
This jriyo him two years more
than he had to wen'e. J4O I'Tofmalion
could be secured at the K*ecutive
chamber beyond the expression of the
supposition that tin- news was correct,
Several rumors were set afloat, among
them one that there will be a union of
till! anti-Conklingites with the Demo
crats to eject one Senator from their
wing and ope |)cppocrut. The most
general impression is that both tbp
resigning Senators wiil be re-elected ,
and thus show legislative endorsement!
of the position they have occupied, In j
order to counteract the influence of the
resolutions ol the Senate and Assembly
endowing Senator R< bertson's nomina
tion. As soon as It was made known
that tin' Governor intended to yend the
letter of the reasons for the resignation
to the Legislature great interest was
manifested to learn what they were.
Both houses were crowded with spec,
t. tors, and when the Senate adjourned j
those in that chamber found their ivay
into the Assembly chamber. During j
the reading of the letter the spectators
occupied all the standing room, and at
the conclusion of the reading the
Speaker was obliged to order the floor •
cleared, so business could be proceeded

Then canie the bride with the Empress
of Austria and Queen of the Belgians
on either hand. The trains of the thr.e

orange blossoms arranged in bunches
looping up tbe dress a..d veil of Brus
