GKNKBAI. ROBKBT PATTERSON, of
Philadelphia, died in that city, last
week, in the 90th year of his age. He
served in the three latest wars this
country was engaged in, to wit: that
of 1812; the Mexican war, (1845) and
the late Rebellion.
JUDGE P*ARSOJI, of the Dauphin
county Courts, has refused a renomina
tion recently tendered him. He is now
nearly 80 years of age, aud had he con
sented, would have been renominated
by the Republican convention of that
county for President Judge.
SPKAKINU of Senator Lawrence's

HARTMANN. the Nihilist, not liking
the tone of the press of this country,
and alarmed by tho utterances of the
Government relative to his delivery to
the Russian authorities as an assassin,
slipped over into Canada, where we
trust be will remain. While it is our
boast that this country is the refuge of
the oppressed of all nations, it should
not be allowed to become an asylum
for boasting assassins.
THE Main Centennial exhibition
building at Philadelphia was sold at
aucton last week for the sum of nine
ty-seven thousand dollars. All our
readers who visited the Centennial in
IBT6, will recollect what a grand build
ing that Main Hall was. It cost near
ly two millions to erect it, and now is
sold to a railroad company for the
■mall sum of ninety-seven thousand
dollars. It is to tie taken apart and
made op into several now structures,
probably for depots, shops, etc.
TUB excitement over the forcible
ejection of Charles Bradlaugh frojn the
British House of Commons still con
tinues. Briefly stated, the facts in the
case are as follows : Mr. Bradlaugh,
who is a notorious atheist, was elected
to Parliament from Northampton. The
oath which every member is required
to take is this! "I, do swear
that I will be faithful and bear true
allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Vic
toria, ber heirs and successors accord
ing to law. So help me God." Mr.
Bradlaugh refused to take this oath on
the ground that he did not believe in a
Supreme Being Parliament very
properly refused to admit him. He
now professes himself ready to take it,
but Parliament still denies him admis
sion, on the ground that his oath, after
his former avowals, would only l»e a
mockery and not binding on bis con
science. And so the matter stands. It
is probable, however, that Parliament
will be compelled to recede from its
position and allow him to be sworn,
for he has been legally elected, and if
be is willing to take the oath the
question of his conscience is beyond
its control.— Ex.
8 EFT EMBER COURT.
The regular Term of our September
Courts commences on Monday two
weeks, Septemifjcr sth. The first week
will be for the action of the Grand Jury
and the argumeut of matters pending
or to be brought up; on the second
week, commencing the 12th, the Tra
verse jury will assemble for the trial of
criminal cases only. These Courts al
ways bring a great many of our sub
scribers to town, and also afford an op
portunity to others to send in with
those coming something on their sub
scription accounts. We will lie pleased
to see many of them at the coming
Courts. J

MR. JOSEPH I'EARCE, tormerlv of this
county, but for the last teu years a cit
izen of the State of Missouri, is at
present back on a visit to his friends
here. We had the pleasure last week
of a call at our office from him, in com
pany with his son-in-law, Mr. John M.
Robb, of Oakland township, aDd were
pleased to find him in good health and
but little changed in appearance. He
states that the dry weather is doing,
or rather has already done, far more
damage to the crops in Missouri and
the west generally than in Butler coun
ty. Corn, be says, looks green here in
comparison with what it does in Mis
souri, Illinois and all the western
States through which he passed. He
thinks we vill have better crops of corn
and potatoes here than they will have
have in the west this year. In addi
tion to the dry weather he states that
the chinch bug is very severe on the
corn in the west, as it was on the ;yheat
crop there this year. He describes the
stalks of wheat and corn as being liter
ally covered with that pest. Mr,
Pearce is a prosperous farmer in his
new home, but from his general con
versation we are inclined to think that
he would as leave be back among the
hills and valleys of old Butler county.
OUR attention has been requested to
the utterances of the Eagle paper of
this place for the past few weeks. Last
week, in an article headed, "What
should be done with Gijifeau,' thatpa-
seems to be fearful that tiu«
teau will be punished for bis great
crime before be receives "a trial by a
jury - of his peers." It seems to be
alarmed that something may happen
Giuteau- that he may be lynched or
something of that kind ; and it says
that anyone "who would suggest such
a thing is no better than a murderer
himself, and is an enemy to bis coun
try." Now, when it is considered that
no body is advocating Lynch law, it is
a puzzle to know just what such ex
pressions mean. When the horrid act
of Guiteau first flashed upon tho POIJO*
try, the indignation of all our citizens
waß so great that, if he ha;l beeu bang
ed upon the spot, ninety-nine out of
every hundred would have said amen,
it was right. And nearly everyliody
thinks so yet; on the ground that h e
was a monster, armed, and dangerous
as a wild beast—that every uiau bad
the right to slay. And this would not
have been deliberate Lynch Jaw,which
the Eagle so much dreads iu its ap
parent anxiety as to the fate of Gui
teau. Our people, its readers included,
are more anxious as to the fate of our
suffering President than they are as to
that of Guiteau.
Then again: In the issue of the
Eagle of week before last, August -Jd,
in an article beaded, "Another Judge
Wasted," we find that paper actually
advocating thi» appoii)tnjsr)t of Conk
ling to the seat on the Bench of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
made vacant by the recent death of
Judge Clifford. It thinks that Presi
dent Garfield, fcoon (*» ho gets well
enough, should appoint Coujfljug.
And it id of the opinion that Conk
ling's "political controversy with the
Administration" should be no objec
tion to his appointment. And it says,
"it is believed by many that the best
thing Garfield could do would be the
appointment of Conkling to a seat on
the bench," etc. We have not noticed
such an outrageous suggestion in any
other paper in all this section of the
country. We think the Republicans
of this county differ very much with
Mr. Robinson on that question. On
the contrary they are and will take
notice of these expressions of that pa
per. They reveal the real mind of the
editor or editors of that paper and in
dicate where their sympathies really
were, and are yet, on the Conkliugand
other matters. They are in direct op
position to all the sentimentf] and feel
ings of our people. It is painful to
know that we have any one among us
entertaining such views. And it is
equally painful to have to refer to
them. We only do so briefly now as a
sense of duty and at another time may
go more into details as to some recent
views of the Ea<jle.
HE A SUE USE/J.
All assessments, for the purpose of
voting, and to make that right sure,
should be seen to before Saturday, the
3d day of September. The law
requires assessment sixty days before
election.
~ HAILHOAD.
We have ceased following up the
different railroad movements herea
bouts. In fact we have got lost in the
multiplicity of surveys and rumors of
surveys. The "Wabash system," the
"Air Line," and the "Trans. Conti
nental Line," and many other propos
ed lines, are so mixed up just now
that it is hard to keep ones reckoning in
this vicinity. All that seems certain
is, that we will have a road from here
dowu the creek to connect with the
Pittsburgh and Harmony und Zelieno
ple present narrow gauge ; and anoth
er one connecting us with the Shenau
go road. On this last a survey is now
being made along the south branch of
Slipperyrock creek, which it is sur
mised will bo the route chosen, owing
to its easier grades, etc. We are glad
to learn that the prospects for this road
are good. Our people feel much in
terest in it as it will opeu up the heart
of our county and develop many of
our immense coal beds.

PRESIDENTS CONDITION.
The reports from the White House
are conflicting as to the condition of
President Garfield. Many are begin
ning' to fear he will not recover, but
the hearts of all are hopeful and pray
erful that lie may be spared. Iu the
letter of the President to bis mother,
written last week, he says: "I am
.gaining every day anil need only time
and patience to bring me through.
Let us all hope he is right. hile be
himself has patience the people should
not despond. May it so be that time
and patience will bring him through.
Since the above was written iater
news make the President's condition
more critical.
IN TO WN.
James Campbell, Esq.,of Greenville,
Pa., was in town last week.
Hon. William P. Brabaro, of Harris*
ville, was in town last Thursday. Our
people are always pleased to meet him.
As their Representative in the Legis

dence and respect of his fellow citizens
to a greater extent than has Mr. Bra

THE DRY SPELL.
The weather continues so dry that
fyuch anxiety is manifested concerning
the com, potato and buckwheat crop*.
The farmers generally express the
opinion that the corn and potatoes will
not be half a yield this year, while
some think that a goojl rain will cause
the corn at least yet to fill out. The
potatoes no doubt arc generally much
injured and will probably be scarce and
high by nest spring. As to the buck
wheat—our staple and cherished crop
our boast and pride—the poor man's
comfort and the rich man's luxury—
shall we, must we say, that it has
"gone up;" or, rather stayed down, as
it never got up yety Uglf The psion
of "buckwheat cakes" in butter and
molasses, "double ply," rises before us
and, with tears in our eyes, we are
compelled to lament that they may not
be. H°H' ev fi , '> th'B w '" )e
more felt in other portions of the world
than here, as we have plenty else to
live upon, while iu the west and other
sections it seems thatnearly everything
is a failure.
STA TE GONVENTION.
As mentioned heretofore, the Repub
lican Statu Convention for this year
will be he'd at lfarrisbiirg on the Bth
ol September. There is but a sing' 6
State officer to elect this year, that of
State Treasurer. But this is an im
portant one, and one for which an hon
est man only should be put in nomina
tion. There Wijs a time—and not long
since—when corrupt men i»a4 cha c H°
of this high trust, and the money of the
State wts used for private speculations.
But it is thought now that this Treas
ury rinis pretty well broken up. It
should be the duty of j-he <Jp|pgatfß to
the coming Convention to look around
for the best candidate they can get.
This county has instructed for our late
Representative the Hon. A. L. Camp
bell, He is known to bo an honest
man—is wortny, am] w;.' fjelieve fully
as competent as ony gentleman we
have seen named for the place. If his
merits are brought before the Conven
tion, and urged by proper efforts, Mr.
Campbell's chances might be as good
as any othfaF, Iff,' Would l>e a strong
candidate in his own county as a*
through many others in the western
portion of the State where he is known.
We hope to hear of his nomination.
How He (flood It.
The Mowing weoimt of the manner
iu which the lust incision was made
upon President Garfield, and how he
stood the same, will be read with in
toiust. as it gives the inside view of
the operation. It wus the first time at
which he showed any anxiety as to the
cutting that had to bo done:
Mrs. Dr Edson, speaking of the op
eration, said that the President was
told soon after his wound was dressed,
about eight o'clock this morning, that
it was thought best to make another
effort to straighten and extend the
track from which the pus flowed so as
to assixt its removal. The President
asked if it was necessary, lie was told
that it was. His next question was,
"Will the operation be an extensive
one It was evident from this that
he had an idea that possibly thu twr
geons intended cutting for the bullet.
I>r Agnew saw this, and. sitting by
the side of the bed, assured the Presi
dent that no extensive operation was
intended. He then explained what
was to bo done and the purpose in de
tail, telling him that the operation
could not Is; attended with uny dilljcul
ty, that it was simple in character and
that they thought good results would
follow. The President listened atten
tively and being satisfied from the ex
planation of its propriety, consented,
first asking whether it would be pain
ful. He was told tint it would not.
The President said, "I am glad it will
not be, for I can't stand much." This
was tho fir.* time that he had ever
shown any of fiiar. and the doc
tors, after thinking over the matter for
a while thought it best to administer
an icm-sthctlc. It was known to tho
physicians that the President w.is
averse to taking any a;nestbetic, ant ho
had expressed himself freely on that
point ou the occasion of the first opera
tion, when he volunteerod, to have the
incision made rather than take ether.
This conclusion was communicated to
tho President, and he consented to
take the ether, The; judgment of the j
physicians was that be was not able in
bis weakened condition to stan 1 the '
operation without insensibility being j
first produced. The President gave the ;
closest attention to the preparations.
Finally, when the napkin cornucopia,
in which was held the spouse saturat
ed with ether, was applied to his nose
he took a long breath, ami after looking
around, said: 'lf you are ready, I aiu,'
aud nerved himself for the operation. ,
He soon succumbed to the influence of |
the ether, and the surgical task was !
performed. Upon recovering sensibil
ity, one of the first questions he asked
was whether or not. the incision had
been made. He was told it had. His
next question was, 'With what result.''
and upon being told 'with the most
satisfactory result,' he smiled and re
marked, 'I amglad it is over.' He was
cheerful in bis demeanor and said he
felt much better."
TIIE PRESIDENT HORSE.
A dispatch from Washington Monday night
says i
The later intelligence from the sick room
shows a still worse condition of the President.
His pulse was found to be MO at the evening
examination and ran up to about 150 after the
dressing of the wound, lie was several tiroes
taken with fits of vomiting late In the after
noon, throwing up all of what little food had
been administered; all of it in an undigested
state. There is absolutely not one word of en
couragement to be obtained from the White
House at this hour; not one ray of hope illu
minates the countenance of the silent people
assembled there.
Sevier,* I'litiiia lias been telegraphed for
and said to be on'his way to by
special train. The streets are alive with people
to-night. The bulletins are surrounded by
large and anxious throngs, and the qtruost de
spondency prevails. \ ijood many think *' le
President will not survive the night, aud some
believe he cannot last more than a couple of
hours. The doctors cannot be seen. Every
body is waiting for some favorable return, for
some slender straw upon which to hang a hope,
while the very worst is feared on every side.
The White House already bears the appear

Agnew has informed Mrs. Garfield that she
must prepare for the worst.
ProcerdlngHol t lie County Con
vention ot llie Prohibition
Reform Party.
Pirn E», July IStb.
The Prohibition Reform party of
Butler Co., Pa., met in convention in
the Court House above date, and were
permanently organized by the election
of Mr. J. W. (frr, of Makn»sburg, as
President; K. A. White, Vice Presi
dent; P. W. Conway, Coultersville,
Secretary; Rev. W. P. Shaw, of Mt.
Chestnut, Corresponding Secretary,
and Mr. S. Harper, North Hope, Treas

for the various offices in the county,
with the following result;
Associate Judge, Lemuel C. Miller,

The following preamble and resolu
tions were adopten by the convention :
Helieviuj; as \»e do, that it is the
right and duty of i» IF eepeople, their
government shall prove inadequate to the pro
tection of society from abuses, or when exjieri
ence shall demonstrate that its powers should
bo iriursajßU fu( I lie 'i 1 s, J''!l
or when iu luws or their taotmuoii iir4ll have
become corrupt, or inefficient from any oause
whatever, to remodel or reform such govern
ment and it* laws.
AND WIIEUKAS, Republican government is
instituted upon the principle of hu nan equality
and should protect the rights and interests of
all citizens with perfect impartiality, especially
should it IHU -irons
and designing; therefore, ho it
Jlmulird, That while we adhere tenaciously
to the fundamental principles of our Govern
ment, which guarantees to every citizen the
above protection, yet we unqualifiedly condemn
many evils and falsities that have grown up
under it, or have beeu injected into our laws
aud jwlitieql svsteui by corrupt and desi|rnin/
meij'for selftrfli anij unjust purposes, *li?reby
the right* of individuals and the interests of
society aru invaded, and We do pledge ourselves
to uie all rightful means to the removal
of such evils and abu«*s.
fimolw'l, That chief among the evils to
which we refer altove, is the legalized traffic iu
intoxicating liquors, which emiuHtiui; in a
principle of cupidity results in binding heavy
burdens upon the State, the iullictiou of iiiuu
merablb ovili upmi wwietjr an<l «» antagonistic
to the publiu g'wd j therefore, all laws lmaliv
ing or protecting said traffic should be rcpualed
and the traffic prohibited by constitutional en
actment. To these objects we pledge our per
sonal, social and political effort*.
Henotued That we are opposed to all legisla
tion which favors the few to the detriment of
the many, and of this class is the law licensing
the liquor traffic in this State.
' Tllvl- IIIP gr»»'«!! and prosperity of
our country is ohieffy due, tiiidbt-' tf» (hp
enterprise and industry of her individual uiti
icili. That we are in favor of proteuting said
individual enterprise and industry by the eu
actmeut of stringent laws against the encroach
ment of all monopolies of whatever kind.
Rrmilpnl, That |«ilitical rings, secret or oth
erwise, formed by designing |>oliticiaus for sel
fish purposes, are anti-Hepublican in their
til,butter ip|d terjdency iind we will oppose
their existence, opttrutTdus aud oau(ii<4alui.
Kenolved, That we most heartily endorse the
policy and efforts of President Jas. A. Garfield
in Ins attempts to expo«e and correct the dis
honest schemes of mail route contractors and
other Government employees, as well as in his
brave and patriotic battle for the overthrow of
the ill,ay stent, «lllj hjs manly defiance of par
tisan dictation and rutcriucuufiiig in his uiifcial
rights aud duties as President of the United
States.
Itwtlved, That wc deeply sympathize with
the President in his present niffering from the
effects of the late attempt to take his life. That
We deprecate and denounce the vile act by
which Ins lift) was put in jeopardy, Hie moral
sense of the civilised world shoukei), oi,r
county disgraced and the public service endan
gered by the loss, even tor the time being, of
the important aud valuable experience and di
rection of the President. Yet we gratefully
recognize the mercy and goodness of (lod to
both the President aud the country iu the pres
ent prospect of his speedy restoration to health
and usefulness.
Jlmuliinl, That the organization of the Prohi
bition Reform party in Itutfer county is de
manded and ji|stifjed by tile action of the Re
publican and IJemouratio partial (i| tl|c last
Legislature, wherein they refused to give tolliu
people an opportunity to declare their will
through the ballot, upon the subject of the con
stitutional prohibition of the liquor traffi :,
when res peel fully petitioned so to do by a large
number of the citizens of this common wealth,
the servants of the public thereby setting aside
the will aud assuming mastership over thr peo
ple and their rights, at the dictation aud in the
interests <|f the representatives of the liquor
traffic. That »l|cl| action of their representa
tives 111 the Legislature l|avi"|g reoeiyed no re
buke or condemnation by ejthur of the piuty
organizations at their recent conventions, car
ries with it the approval of said organisations
an I demonstrates the hopelessness ol' securing
temperance legislation through ei'herol' said
parties ; therefore, self-respect and faithfulness
to conviction and principle demand that the
f. ieudsof legal temperance reform should seek
through organization and independent political
action, the accomplishment ol this important
reform.
Jtetulved, That the action of this convention
ill nregeiiting an independent ticket for the suf
frage of the temperance voters of liutlcr coun
ty is compelled by the refusal of tip: candidates
ol the Republican and Uemooratiu partitis, with
one exception, Mr. <i. W. Crow, to go before tho
|»eoplr upon the issue ol the legal prohibition
of the liquor traffic.
KrMih'r l, That the ticket we have this day
nominated is composed of men of uuiiiiiiearha
hle character, of pronounced and unshrinking
fidelity to temperance principles aud in every
way worthy of the support ol all citizens,
That the ticket embodies the prin
ciple and issue of legal tciuiieraiice reform, and
as such we present it for the suffrages of all
temperance men whose principles are dearer to
lliein than mere personal preferences, or party
ties, believing that (lie vast i>ia««of temperance
jieople realize that legal prohibition is the only
successful method of destroying the monger
evils of intemperance, we confidently expect
the support of all siifh to this ticket upon the
issue now made, believing that they, w:th us,
will act upon the maxim that "men are but the
creatures of a day, principles are eternal."
On motion, the secretary was d'rect
ed to submit the action of this conven
tion to the county papers for publica
tion.
After the transaction of several items
of business the convention was adjourn
ed sine die.

"My Kace i* Kmi. I mil Al*
ready Horn Out In
the Service.
John J. Pearson, whose term as
President Judge of this judicial dis
trict will expire ou the Ist day of Jan
uary, 1882, is a native of Mercer coun
ty, Pennsylvania. He studied law
With the Hon. John Banks, one of the
ablest jurists in the state, and a law
yer when at the bar, of great force of
character and| geuius in practice. Mr.
Pearson began the study of the law in
the town of Mercer, lu 1819, aud was
admitted to the bar in 1822. The
practice of the law in that part of the
State in that early period, consisted
of civil business, intricate land cases,
involving great researches of records,
and thorough knowledge thereof. To
the practjtioner this njeaqt a
patient waiting for clients, OF an un?
mistakable display of ability and
knowledge, the laUer of which Mr.
Pearson possessed and for which he
commanded recognition at a bar then
famous for its thorough bred lawyers.
At that early period a lawyer's office
was in his saddle, and John J. Pear
pon rotje tlje circijit, o.f wfjit-'h M«rqer
coquty is a portion, being compelled to
remain ou horseback for days to reach
the different points at which court was
held. Such rides were taken in com
panies, old and young lawyers canter
ing together
avyamps, to' ousht'ne and storm, made
the hardier in body and the stronger iu
mind by the exposure to which they
were thus subjected. Judge Pearson
is never in a ifiqqt} than when
he engages in conversation ou this
portion of his life, tho beginning of his
busy career, when he laid the founda
tion of those habits of assiduity and
zeal which he never abandoned since.
In 183G, Hon. John Ranks, who was
then 1 of the livyenty sU'tb
Congress, elected as a Whig, resigned
to accept the app 'intment of Judge of
the Fourih Judicial district, composed
of the counties of IJucks, Northampton
and Lehigh, anl Mr. Pearson was
chosen to fill the qnexpirgd tsf;rq. Ijis
Congress wan voty honorable
one, and won him much imputation at
home, and at the end of the Twenty
sixth Congress the people of the Sena
torial district of which Mercer was a
portion nominated him as
didate for the (irate Wnato, a body in
which he laid the foundation of his
reputation as a lawyer, a reputation
which has widened and extended until
he is regarded now as the best common
p|c>n li+tyyvi' on t|je bench ot the Suite,'
and whose opinions have been respect
ed as much for their sound law as are
those of the judges of the highest court
in the State. He v t 'as a of
State Senate for three'terms, from 1835
to 1841, and chairman of
the Judiciary Committee dur
ing TUT period, BUT iu ISKJ, whon
the Democracy had a majority In the
Senate and Charles B. Rogers was
Speaker, the high character of Mr.
Peason as a lawyer placed him again
at the bead of the same committee,
tljou-'h a majority fthrei} at
that lime) wore Democrats. It was
while in this position that Mr. Pearson
requested the speaker of the Senate to
place him at the bottom instead of the
head, for the reason that as chairman
be could not carrv out his vievys
licmoctatic majority against him,
anil therefore he deemed it inconsistent
with his dignity as a man to hold a
place the official power of which in his
bands was never deferred to by a ma
jority of the body.
The chairmanship of the Judiciary
Committee at that period involved du
tifisj qf the very highest legal character.,
Forty hvc years ago to be a member of
the Legislature and serve on any com
mittee involved the performance of
duties demanding practical ability.
Members of the Legislature prepared
all the bills which were passed by that
body. When any of such bills, while
on thoir first reading, were discovered
to be imperfectly drawn, they were, on
motion of either house, referred to the
Judiciary Committee, the chairman of
which revised the measure, rewrote
the bill, if necessary to secure its effec
tiveness for the object of its passage.
Under existing practices in the Legis
lature, all bills of a public unit private
character are prepared by parties out
side that body, a labor which for years
was a business of a great profit by m.»n
of ability frequenting the lobbies of the
Lcgialature, and we doubt whether
since 1850, during the full flood of tho
rush of bills granting corporate privi
leges, there is a statute on the law books
that was prepared by the member who
read it in place, but rather was writ
ten Ijv parties qot iqembers of the IjOg:
islaUire. |n the six years that Judge
pearson was at the head of the Senate
Judiciary Committee he put on the
statute books of the State, measures
which remain there to this day, either
as a whole or in a modified form. He
was the author of the law which put a
penalty on the practice of betting on
elections, a species of gambling which
had carried bankruptcy and distress
Into many families at all elections of
any character. He also prepared the
bill relative to the Fry estate, HO well
known as a subject of litigation in the
courts of this county.
On the sth of April, IHGov.
William F. Johnston appointed John
J. Pearson President Judge of the
(jistrjet composed of Dauphin and
Lebanon counties, to Ijll a vacums)l
- JHol the amended Constitution
went into force, making the judiciary
elective, when Judge Pearson was
elected. In ISfil be was again elected;
in 1871 a third election was unan
mously accorded him, and now when
his third term is about to expire bo
declines a renomination. After thirty
three years of continuous hard work on
the bench, in tho performance of duties
more oquroun thai} tlppw of any Presi
dent Judge on the benoh ill the State
(all the State cases being tried by him)
he gracefully declines to allow his
name to go before a convention for
renomination because, as he says in
his letter, *,My race is run. I am
already worn out in the service."
Could anything have beeu more
eloquently expressed, or auytbing be
made more suggestive of a faithful ser
vant worn out in the service of the
people, laving down his robes and re
signing his great offiee to the sovereign
people, fiom whom he received both,
returning them without stain or blur,
while he prefers to retire to private
life, full of years and crowned with
honors fairly won in the purest walks
of the public service.
As a judicial officer, a fearless e.x
]>ounder of the law, impartial under all
circumstances in the trial of causes, no
judge has ever wielded a larger influ
ence in the sphere of his duties than
the honored gentleman now preparing
to leave finally this branch of the pub
lic service in this district. It was the
opiniou of the late William \l. Mere
dith, Attorney General of the State
from 1861 to 1866, that Judge Pearson
was the ablest and the clearest Com
mon Pleas Judge, since the days of
Judge King. Nor was Mr. Meredith
alone in this estimate of Judge Pear
son. Great lawyers from every part
of the State who practiced in State
cases before him accorded like splendid
acknowedgments of his ability. It is
not possible, as it is not necessary, for
us to enumerate the important cases
which he tried in which new questions
were constantly presented. The Cred
it Mobilier, the case of George O.
Evans, the bribery trials and other
Commonwealth case:- of equnl magni
tqtje, aVtracted not only the attention
of the country, because, many of them
carried by appeal until they reached
the highest courts of the country, re
sulted in sustaining Judge Pearson on
every point of law on which his action
depended. He was remarkable lor
his promptness under all circumstances.
Business was never delayed W U'«m.
IJe \ya§ ready. Questions of
law and evidence were dissolved and
decided by him at a singly touch, and
that, too, in no wavering or hesitating
spirit. Like all well-poised men, he
has confidence in himself, awse
fcqfy wiMytioal character of his
habits. He worked hard always, that
is, he accomplished a great deal and
never went to his work unprepare<J.
His relations to l 4 thtt (lis
anq with the numerous lawyers
vho practiced before him in Common
wealth cases, were always satisfactory.
He never had what may be called angry
collisions in court, his firmness and
coolness at once impressing all with
whom he came in yluu is a
rqau ii«>t tq be rnov'eti by storms or In
timidate Jby rant. L iwyers have con
fidence in his judgement as a jurist and
his integrity as a man. This was
shown on several occasions, when the
bar of his own and that of
tr.icU urge# him as a
for judge of tbo supreme
Court; a position which he never for
a momeut desired, for the oue which
he filled for thirty-three years has
been in all respects congenial \yitU
hj s tfctf" widest pos
sible soope for'the exercise of his intel
lect.
By the people Judge Pearson haß
always bee a recognized with the bisrh

In continuation of mv preceding ItHW. puh-
Ii!»l»e<l ill July, these Itiid* expound the plan
which wilt lead to congregational Kinging and
a general, permanent mimical success:
The history of musical cities teaches that
substantial ami lasting progress in musical cul
ture—a progress that la no delusion —wan begun
by vocal, followed hy instrumental culture, and
terminated iu combining both, reaching the
highest manifestation* in music by alow
steady growth.
Ami it lij uu tu ptactiue mv
profusion tor the huuellt of the ooiumanlty at
large, ( consider it a matter of duty to nee that
musical education l>e real, refreshing to the
heart and seuses, and elevating to the mind ;
and I am anxious aud watchful that musical
art be not debased into a source of vanity, dis
sipation, pride, or idolatry.
Therefore, 1 am cheerfully willing to partii i
p.Ue iu leading a singing society that commands
the following virtues: It Hhould lie a
Union'! iu wi*iji nil H"j wehiome who can or
wish to sing; where vocalization is taught, and
chorus singing is done to worship U«d. Money
should not be asked, but music. Propriety and
common sense should embrace the eutire con
tents of its eonHUulion. A "children chorus "
comprising alt the children iu town, should
forui n separate fcatqre furnishing r«.ser*e pow
er. 'W|« V.Choral l>nion''. should include all
the choirs and singing societies without disturb
ing their separate existence outside of the "Un
ion." All our choir leaders and musical direc
tors should in turn or oo jointedly participate
iu lending the "Union" free of charge, because
of the benefit which their own "T
tii* duri r u t'um, it. All our profcssors of music
should each for the other jointly and separately
volunteer their professional services, because,
that which promotes genuiue musical progress
of the whole town secures for theui their daily
bread. Sheet luusio should be paid lor by the
people at large through occasional "musical
festivals," because a "Hutler Choral Uuion"
will prove a lasting benefit to Hutler people.
Ilall, instruments, etc., will come iu due time,
because many, aud great favors are extended to
large music societies, provided they are govern
ed by public spiritedness, liberality, generosity,
magnanimity—high-miuded ne<»! The ittuiiitcm
uf the gUHtief should proteot the welfare of such
a "Union." because iu periuaucut existence
will call iuto life and sustuiu congregational
singing, fostering emotional power towards sub
limity of divine service, uniting all hearts
closer by the realm of song. The "Hutler Cho
ral Uuiou" should make known "Teuiperauce
Songs" especially through the '"Children Cho
rus, which will be a powerful agent towards
the installation ot temperance. Hut it should
not confine itself to those songs, or to hymns,
but sing all music of superior y«l|U«'. »>V44tV
aud mcuqing. It* Wutto should be "kxeelsior. 1
If the giiod people, interested in the growth
ami welfare of their beloved home, will stand to
gether to effect such a grand union, which can
prove but a blessing anil honor to Hutler, it
would uhalleuge my highest moral respect to
wards the coluinuuity.it would inspire me to
devote myself with humility and and affection
to their home. 1 would fling away ambition and
joiu all souls iu sympathy.
