HI TLER CITIZEN, ] JOHN H. K W C 7 NESLEY. PBOP'RS, Entered at the Post office at Butler ass second-classs matter. ~~A number of Brooklyn clergymen aaed the revised New Testament in their pulpits on Sunday last. THE Republicans of Meadville, Pa., fired one hundred gunß on Friday last as an expression of their approval of President Garfield's action on recent nominations he made to the U. S. Senate. HON. S. H. MILLEB, of Mercer, rep resentative in Congress for this district, was in Washington City last week, ac companied by H. B. Bowser, Esq, of Mercer, who, we see it stated, is an ap plicant for a consulship. COL. Thomas A. Scott, late President of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, •nd long distinguished as an eminent railroad man, died at his residence in Philadelphia on Saturday evening last, in the 57th year of his age. IT is stated there were only four votes in the United States Senate against the confirmation of Judge Rob ertson as Collector of the Port of New York, to wit: Cameron, of this State ; Ingalls, of Kansas ; Farley, of Califor nia, and Jones, of Nevada. ALL subscribers who have not at tended to payment of arrears are desir ed to do so during the coming June Courts. These back amounts are need ed to pay paper bills, etc., which should have been paid long since. Subscrib ers in distant parts of the county can send by neighbors attending court. CAPT. JOHN F. DBAVO of Beaver county, has been appointed by Presi dent Garfield as surveyor of the Port of Pittsburgh. This is a good and worthy appointment and a direct blow at "bossism" in this State. The strug gle for the place was a long and bitter one, and much of the success of ('apt. Dravo is due to the efforts of the Hon. Thomas M. Bayne, member in congress from the 23rd. Allegheny district. We congratulate both Capt. Dravo aud Col. Bayne on their success. .4LI. HESIGXKI). SINCE Conkling resigned his seat in the United States Senate the country generally seems resigned to the same. President Garfield is resigned. Secre tary Blaine and the whole of the Cabi net are resigned. The remaining Sen ators were go resigned as to immedi ately confirm the President's appoint ments by an almost unanimous vote The Republican party, with a very few exceptions, is resigned, and all ap pearances indicate that the whole world, including the Empire State and the "imperial" Senator, will remain resign ed. COTTKT—TRIAL OF WHITE. Thz regular Jane term of oar Courts will commence on Mopday week, June 6th, and continue two weeks. The trial of William H. White, indicted for the murder of Charles Egan, rt Millers* town last March, is expected to come off during the first week. We will make arrangements to give the proceed ings of this important case in the Citi un, and will endeavor to give them as fully as possible. To any not now re ceiving the paper the present would therefore be a good time to order it. The services of all friends in extending the circulation df the Citizen will be duly appreciated. It is unfortunate it at Americans are, as a rule, afflicted with short memories; otherwise, if ex-Senator Conkling had shopped to think a minute, he would have realized that his 'Senatorial cour tesy' was not worse wounded than he had wounded others. In February, 1874, Grant was President, Sumner and Boutwell Senators from Massachu setts, and Thomas Russell Collector of Boston. At Ben Butler's request, General Grant sent to the Senate the name of W. A. Simmons, then a But ler 'striker,' for Collector. Boston bus iness men objected ; Boston merchants went to Washington and protested; a majority of Massachusetts Congress men petitioned the President to with draw Simmons; both of the Senators opposed him ; but Mr. Conkling led the movement in favor of Simmons and be was confirmed. But perhaps Charles Sumner and Mr. Boutwell were never entitled to Senatorial courtesy.— Phila. Press. A CARD. To the Republicans of Butler County: I bad hoped to have a fair canvass before the Republican voters of tbia county, believing that a nomination made in any other way was not worth making and rould end in defeat at the November election. I believe that every citizen of our county has the right to be a candidate and have a fair bearing before his party as to his character, past record, individual merit and ability to fill the position he as pires to, and deny that any man or set of men have the right to dictate who shalljfill our offices. The people are or ought to be the jury. In canvassing last week I found the old campaign dodge had been resorted to in my case, viz : That I had withdrawn, or that I would not be a candidate at the time of the Primary election. No honorable * man will circulate a report of that kind unless be knows it to be true. 1 here by publicly denounce it as a falsehood. I entered the field not as a tool for any man or in any man's interest, but to make the nomination myself if I could by an honest and honorable effort. It has also been circulated that I re ceive a pension of $72 per month, which is not true. The arm is ampu at • ed below the elbow and I receive the pension allowed, which is $lB per month. 1 bilieve I am the only one on the list for Sheriff who receives a pen sion—why ? Republicans, I am now before yon soliciting vour support and would be thankful for it, if you deem me worthy of it; but if you fiud any other man who has sacrificed more for his country, is more deserving, better qualified, or a better citizen, vote for him. Let each man use his judgment and vote as a free American citizen and not as a part of a machine. I remain, Your obedient servant, JAMES B.STOREY. Cheering lor Garfltld and Rob ertson and C onk ling and Plait. ALBANY, N. Y. f Mav 18.—In the senate to-day when the dispatch an nouncing Robertson's confirmation was read the wildest excitement ensued. Amid cheering and clapping of hands Mr. Sessions jumped upon his chair and gave three cheers for Robertson, while Mr. Husted, who had come in from the assembly, also leaped upon a chair and aided in the cheering. Mr Loomis then called for three cheers for President Garfield, which were given with a will. A general handshaking followed, anrd which the senate ad journed. Robertson appeared to be deeply affected. WATEBTOWN, N. Y., May 18.—The Republicans held an enthusiastic meet ing here to-nigbt. Resolutions were passed censuring Conkling and P'att and sustaining the administration. The members of the legislature from this section were asked to labor for the election of senators in accord with tLe administration. Salutes 6 red over Robertson's confirmation. COOL SPRING, N. Y., May 18—The Republicans of this town, to-night fired a salute of one hundred guns in honor of President Garfield for nominating tor collector of the port of New \ ork William H. Robertson. HUDSON, N. Y., May |8. —The ad ministration Republicans to-night firef} a salute in honor of Robertson's confir mation. Petitions are being circulated protesting against the re-election of Conkling and Piatt. ROCHESTER, N. Y., May 18. —The news i f the confirmation of Robertson and Merritt was celebrated here this evening by one hundred guns. ALBANY, N Y , May 18.—A salute of one hundred guns was fired here to day in honor ol the coufirination of llobertson. CONK.LINO'S POOR SHOW. ALBANY, May 18.—The anti-ma chine Republicans here are putting iu some vigorous work, under the spur of remonstrances against the return of Coukling and Piatt and the hope of Robertson's confirmation. The Repub lican geueral committee of Albany county has passed a re-olution eulogiz ing President Garfield and denouncing the resignations of the late Senators. Petitions agaiust the re-election ot these gentlemen have begun to pour in from the Republican strongholds in the interior of the State. A remonstrance was read in the sen ate, signed by all the Republican voters in the town of Homer, Cortlandt county, except two, protesting against the return of Conkling or Piatt. The Robertson forces are now believed to consist of thirty in the assembly and sixteen senators. Should this estimate prove reliable, the machine 'jig is up.' A feature of the canvass is the pres ence of noted Democrats from all parts of the State. They are not likely to exert themselves much to return the late Republicans. Governor Cornell still refuses to notify the senate of the resignations, holding that tbe notice sent to the house is legally sufficient to warrant An election next Tuesday. It is believed that, in case be does so, the upper house will refuse to admit Conk ling's letter of explanation, on the ground that it is an insult to Judge Robertson, tbe presiding officer. Ar rangements have been made for a sere nade and jubilee here to-night in case the collector is confirmed. CONKLING AND PLATT WON'T BE RE ELECTED. The general belief here is that Conk ling and Piatt can't secure a re-election. Tbe friends of tbe administration have made a vigorous canvass of the legisla ture during the past two days, and now feel certain that they can command within a few votes of a majority of the Republican members before the time for the election. They think the tide of public sentiment will be so strong in favor of the position of the administra tration that two new senators will surely be chosen. THE STRENGTH OF THE inDEPENDENTS It is rumored that forty-five members have already signed a paper pledging themselves not to vote for the re-elec tion of Conkling and Piatt. There are one hundred and six Republicans in bo<h houses, so that only nine more are needed to obtain a majority in the cau cus. If the stalwarts hold out. it is possible there may be a deadlock simi lar to that which occured in Pennsyl vania this winter, in which case it is not improbable that the election may be postponed until next winter. Three prominent assemblymen who were among the fifty.seven signers of th document protesting against hobert son's confirmation, referred to in Conk ling's letter of explanation, have come out as open friends of the administra tion. It is expected that others will make a similar declaration shortly. SOME OF THE CANDIDATES. Among the candidates mentioned are Cbauocey M. I)epew, Sherman S. Rodgers, Congressmen Frank Hiscock and Warner Miller, ex-Governor Reu ben E. Fenton, cx-secretaay William M Evarts, ex-Vice President William A. Wheeler, and Chief Justice Charles J. Folger. THE TURNING OF THE TIDE. The Express, (Tammany) Albany dispatch says : 'Conkling is politically dead, and Robertson, since bis confir mation, has been intrusted with the command of the party The substitu tion ha? been endorsed by a large ma jority of the Republican State Sena tors and Assemblymen, as well as by leading members of the party in vari ous sections of the State, who have sent close on to two thousand telegrams to the new leader, conveying words of cheer and congratulations.' The Telegram also says a dispatch was received from Albany setting forth that Judge Robertson declared posi tively that he would not take possession ol tbe office of Collector until Conkling and Plait were beaten. At Jamestown, the home of Fenton, arrangements are making for a demon- J stration in favor of Garfield's adminis tration. The store of Messrs. Gibson Har ]»er, of Xorth Washington, this county, was broken into last Friday night and robbed of &!?* PwtUr : UutUr, f«.» 25, 1881. LEGISLATIVE. Arguing Adjournment —Tlie HOIIMC Alt«'Ui|»>»» to fix it t i nal I>ay-Oltier I'ro cceilingi*. HABBISBIBQ, May 18. —The senate met at 10 a. m. The following hills were reports!: Appropriating $125,000 to the State geological survev. Affirmatively. Senate bill making an appropriation for the preservation of the marine hos pital at Erie was reported affirmatively. The consideration on third reading ol House bill to grant pensions to the sur viving veterans of the Mexican war and to the widows of deceased soldiers and sailors of said war was resumed- Mr. Davies opposed the bill and had read the governor's veto message of the former Mexican pension act, which was substantially similar to the one under consideration. The senate refused to go into com mittee of the whole for amendment, and Mr. JSyerbart was prevented from in corporating a number of amundiuunts to perfect the bill by objections from one of its friends. Mr. Ross made a long speech in which he detailed the bravery and pri- Vfttjons of the United States soldiers in the Mexican wav. Mr. Ross hpped the bill would be passed without amend ment. Messrs. Jones and Sill made fervent speeches in favor of its passage Mr. Cooper said he would not vote fqr tlie b'll Hs present shape. Mr. Coxe also opposed the bill.

After prayer and the reading of the journal Mr. Haekett railed attention to the ia<-t that nothing t»ut very old lil«-s of tbo Leguloiiae Uecqrd were on the desks of the members, and made a gen. eral complaint angainst the Record, and and its publisher. It was complained that the volumes were useless and that the publisher bad violated his contract. Messrs. Co]born find Niles stated they were in favor of abolishing tbp Bt'CO'd entirely as members were compelled to obtain ail fresh news in regard to the legislature from the newspapers. The following bills were taken up out of order and passed second read ing: Granting courts of common pleas au thority to issue writ of pstrepment in certain caseg An act giving power to prison in spectors to adjust deductions of time from the sentences of prisoners who behave themselves well was taken np and passed finally. A supplement to existing acts regu lating and licensing the sale of intoxi cating liquors, was taken up and pass ed on sccoud reading. This bill requires that every petition for license snail be accompanied by a certificate signed by twelve reputable free holders, two of whom at least shall be personally acquainted with the facilities offered by the establishment asking license. No person shall sign more than one certificate and no person shall become surety on more than one bond required to be filed with a license application under existing laws. Tbe second reading calendar was then taken up and tbe following bills were ordered to be transcribed for third reading Regulating tbe appointment of view ers to locate and vacate roads and to divide townships and boroughs.

Prescribing the manner of subjecting real estate 'oexecutions and sale, the title to which has been put in another bv a debtor in baud of his creditors. Adjourned until 3 o'clock in the afternoon. AFTERNOON SESSION. At the afternoon session of the house Mr. Colbcru called up the seuate resolution as amended by the house committee providing for a final adjourn ment of the legislature on May 26. Mr. Graham moved to indefinitely postpone, which placed the question before tbe house. Mr. Colborn could see no reason why a day for final adjournment should not be fixed. All necessary legislation could been acted in ten days' time. The members might remain here until August and would still have two or three hundred bills untouched on the calendar, and he thought for the good of tbe state they ought never to be touched. Mr. Ruddiman thought the resolu tion ought not to be passed until the mandamus bill is enacted into a law and tbe legislature given an opportu nity to assert its rights and vindicate its dignity. Mr. Myers said the day ought to be fixed More work would be accom plished and there was no reason why this mandamus bill could not lie passed afterwards. The probabilities were that the bill would only be vetoed again. Mr. Ruddiman replied that he did not know by what authority Mr. Myers had spoken. But it made no difference whether this bill was vetoed or not. The legislature ought to remain here and pass it over and over agaiu until a law liad been secured under which the body could assert its rights. Mr Wolfe made some remftrki in reference to the mandamus bill: said he di<! not think it was unconstitution al. In its present shape it would prob- I ably W acceptable to th© governor. Mr. Amerman was in favor of re maining until all thu preat reform measures were passed, and the work accomplished. Mr. Colborn said they were not here to get up a law suit with the officers of the commonwealth. Tbey ought not to remain here simply for the purpose of licking the governor and attorney general. They ought to do this work and not meddle with what was none of their business. Mr Ruddintan said, we have made J a contract with the state, have left our business and families, to transact her business. When an officer of the commonwealth thrusts in our faces that we will not be permitted to fulfill our contract, we have a right to pass any number of writs of mandamus, in order that we may appeal to the su preme court and determine if we are correct in the conception of our con tracts. Mr. Bierly said the only reason for opposing this resolution is that the state treasurer may be compelled to pay members the extra sqoo. Thp people of the state were anxiously awaiting for an adjsnrnment. The legislature is simply remaining here as a menace. Mr. Wolfe answered that this was nlacing the members in a ful«e position, 'rhere is legislation hanging in the senate which it was hoped to defeat bv parliamentary tactics and delay. This reform legislation, mentioning the telegraph anti-monopoly bill in the house, the recorder bills and the frep pipplwe bill and otters in tlio senate, were demanded bj the people, al though some people were opposed to them. [Applause.] The house has prepared the field of legislation and ought not to go home viitbuut reaping the harvest. He was tired of, this cheap buncombe about the people de manding an adjournment. This legis lature has done as good work as any in twenty weaps, yUCStiot) Pj law iuvolved in this case that shoula be settled definitely. A motion by Mr. Ruddiman to post pone for the present was agreed to by the following vote: yeas, llOj nays, 44. EVENING SESSON. The b< njse met at p. m. for the consideration of the bill empowering the court ot Dauphin county or courts within a radius of sixty miles from the state capital to issue writs of manda mus on state officers. Mr. {'covins moved to indefinitely postpone the further of the bill and demanded the yeas and nays. There were 132 against the motion and 14 for it. The bill then passed second reading and the house adjourned until 0 a. ni. to-morrow. Decoration Day. Officer of the day, John T. Kelly.

The bark Anna lately arrived at New York in ballast from London to Read, Lauder & Co., after a most eventful voyage. One of the princi pal incidents is entered upon the cap tain's log book a» follows ; February 28, 3 P. M., latitude 42° 31' north, longitude 35° west, hard gale blowing and ship running under lower foretop sail and main sail, sighted a large whale over bows. The fish bore down on us, and struck ship on the port side of the stern, and knocking the foreport into matches and kindling wood ; sound ed pumps, but no leak ; whale went off, leaving a track of blood behind.' Cap tain McPbail states that he was sur prised at the whale dashing right into a large vessel in mid ocean. He says that when he first saw the big fish it was rolliug and spouting water 15 feet high. He had not then any idea it would charge his vessel, but soon dis covered that the w hale meant business. As the whale came on he luffed a little to prevent it from strikiug the side of the vessel and ripping a plank off. It dashed by and just gave one slap with its tail that fairly kuoeked the cut wat er of the boat off from the 11 inch mark to the keel. He thinks it was stunned and hurt. HiimbngKcri Igalu. I saw so much said about the merits of Hop Bitters, and my wife who was always doctoriug, and never well, teased me so urgently to get her some, I concluded to be humbugged again ; and I am plad I did, for in lees than two months use of the Bitters my wife was cured and she has remained so for eighteen months since. I like such humbugging.—H. T. St. Paul.— ti&nekr PreSb. —A 'parlor cattle car, with twenty head of cattle, arrived in New York the other day from Cincinnati, the eat- j tie havinar come through without un loading. The cattle were fed and water ed liy a mechanical contrivance operated from the end of the car. With an or dinary car the cattle would have had to be unloaded for feeding three times, with considerable injury and delay. The superiority of the new car was shown j not only in its increased capacity and the superior comfort of the animals, but also in the savincr in weight by di minished loss, which is usually about ; t n per cent. With the 'parlor' car the j loss was under three per cent. Wliat Everybody Wants.
