THE editorial in the CITIZEN last
week, favoring the appointment of
such postmasters only as shall be rec

has been very generally endorsed here
abouts.
Ma. JOHN SEIO, of Lancaster town
ship, this county, in 1879 planted one
ounce of white Russian oats; from
that he raised one peck or ten pounds;
in 1880 he raised from that peck nine
bushels ; in 1881 he sowed five bushels
of the nine and raised one hundred and
sixty bushels, weighing forty pounds
to the bushel. From this we would
judge the white Russian oats are very
productive and profitable. Mr. Seig
has a good farm a short distance this
side of the village of Middle Lancaster.
THE lecture of Rev. R. B. Ewing,
of Pittsburgh, in the Court House last
Thursday evening, for the benefit of
the U. P. Sabbath School building
fund, of this place, was well attended
and afforded much good solid food for
reflection. His subject, "Courage and
its Counterfeits," was deliniated lu an
interesting and practical manner, which
the audience appreciated by giving
very close attention to the lecturer.
The next lecture for this worthy ob
ject will be given some time in Feb
ruary next
A NEW BOOK. —The Rev. William
McMicbael, of Clarion county, Pa. and
who has many friends and relatives in
Butler eounty, has pleasantly surpris
ed them all by writing a very interest
ing book. It is named "The Minister's
Daughter," and is more a history of a
real life than a work of fiction. The
principal character is "Bethy Mordell,"
the "Minister's Daughter." The bojk
will have to be read to be appreciated.
We have received an editor's copy and
understand the book will soon be offer
ed to the citizens of this county through
an agent It is also for sale by Wm.
McMicbael, Mariasville, Venango
county, Pa., and by the publishers, W.
B. Smith k Co., 27 Bond street, New
York.
CONGRESSMAN Bayne, of the Al
legheny district, has introduced a bill
in Congress which provides for a con
stitutional amendment by which the
States will be more equally represent
ed in the Senate of the United States.
The proposed amendment gives every
State an additional Senator for every
million of a population iu excess of
two millions. This would give Penn
sylvania four Senators instead of two.
While the time and the reason would
seem to have passed for giving the
smaller States, such as Rhode Island
and Delaware, as many United States
Senators as New York and Pennsyl
vania, yet we fear Col. Bayne's amend
ment would make the U. S. Senate too
large a body. But we have often
thought that the constitution should
be amended in this matter of U. S.
Senators. The reason that existed at
the time of its formation and induced
the fore fathers to give small States as
many Senators as large ones, we are
inclined to think passed away with the
passing away of slavery. It will not
hurt to have attention directed io this
matter.
STA TE CONVENTION.
Last week, 11th inst, the Republi
can State Central Committee met in
Philadelphia and the result of its de
liberations was the fixing of May lu,
as the time for holding the next State
Convention, for the nomination of the
State officers to be elected this ye ar.
On the following day, 12th inst, a con
vention of independent, or what are
termed Wolfe Republicans, met in the
same city and fixed upon May 24th for
the holding of a State Convention for
the same purpose. Thus there are
calls made for two Republican State
Conventions. Every Republican will
see at once the danger threatening
from this condition of affairs in the
party. How can it be averted? Plain
ly, but'by one course—and that is for
the Republican masses, the people, to
arouse themselves and see that they
are properly represented in the first
convention. If properly represented,
by the right kind of men being sent as
delegates to it from every county in
the State, there cannot then fail to be
an acceptable State ticket nominated.
Bnt if this dnty is neglected, and the
convention falls under the control of
the bosses, or Stalwarts, in the party,
and a ticket is again nominated of
their previous setting up and dictation,
then it is evident there will be two
tickets in the field. To prevent this, will
be for the people to apply the test in
the selection of said delegates. That
test they can make by inquiring of and
knowing the past and present political
aaaocifttions and sentiments of all offer
ing themselves or proposed for dele
gates. If a man's past record or vote
has not been on the side of right and
the people, he should not be trusted
now. By the company a man keeps
is he known. This is an old and a
true saying. And it applies to politi
cal character as well as to moral char
acter.
The date named for holding the con- '
ventiou will give sufficient time for uc
tioo on the pert of the To
| secure this, the actioa should be as di
rect aDd fresh from the people as pos
sible. This can be best and most
fully obtained by primary meeting be
i ing held before the date fixed for the
I State Convention. The primaries in
| this county could be held, say on Sat-
I urday, May 6, and the County Con
vention on Monday, the Bth. The
1 county ticket could thus be nominated
and the delegates appointed at the
same time to the State Convention and
in time to reach that body. This
would throw the primaries a little
• earlier than usual, but the benefit to
be obtained by an expression of the
masses of the party in the county, on
the pending political situation, will
justify this course at this time.
SUPREME JUDGE.
i There is no officer to be elected this
i fall more important to the people of
the State—and particularly to this
' western portion of the State—than that
1 of the Judge of the Supreme Court,
i What the people demand is the elec
i tion of a judge who will favor the re
l voking of that outrageous order, made
' by a majority of the present judges, and
; by which the parties to a suit are drag.-
> ged away to Philadelphia lor a hearing
■ of their cases. In our opinion, this out
rage will and ought to sink all party
[ lines on that office this fall. There
f should he au outspoken aud general
r expression by the Republicans of the
[ western counties on this question, at
r their coming county conveutions or
I meetings. The delegates to* the State
convention should be on the
i subject.. The nameot Adam M Brown,
P Esq., of Pittsburgh, n.s a proper Re
' publican candidate for the nomination,
is meeting with much favor. He is an
able lawyer, fully qualified, popular
with the Bar, and more popular with
the people, lie would be entirely safe
1 and sound on this question that now
' 80 much concerns the people. By a
1 united effort iu the counties he
" can be nominated, and if nominated
" would l>e elected by an overwhelming
s
vote.
1 WHAT TO BE ELECTED.
8
» This fall there are to bp elected in
|j this State a Judge of the Supreme
Court, a Governor, Lieutenant Gover
j nor, and a Secretary of Internal Af
fairs, These officers will compose the
j State ticket. Bgt are, in addi
tion, 27 members of Congress ; itt Stat£
Senators and 201 members of Assem
bly to be chosen this year. These will
j be chosen in their respective districts
as usual. The members of Congress
will be chosen in existing districts un
j less Congress should make a new ap
portionment of members amocg tbp
States, according to the late census.
9 This would also have to be followed by
aredistricting of the State by the State
Legislature, which it is not probable
will be called for that purpose. So the
probabilities are Lbat Congressmen will
be elected in the old districts. Their
term is for two years.
As to the 25, or one-half of the State
Senator#, they will also be chosen in
existing districts. This district is not
among those that elect this year Their
term is for four years, the one-half of
the whole number (50) being chosen
every two years.
As to the members of the Assembly,
the whole of that body (201) are cho
sen every second year. This county
will have two to elect this year. A
Jury Commissioner will also beelected
this year.
WAITING FOR THE VERDICT.
"Your countrymen and all Christen
dom are waiting for your verdict," are
the trutijf'ul wordfc iu which Judge
Davidge closed bis address for the
prosecution to the jury iu the (Juiuau
case last Friday.
The whole of last week was occu
pied in arguments to either tbe court
or tbe jury. The speech of Mr. Dav
idge, the first one made to the jurv
for the prosecution, was very able and
dignified throughout. On Saturday, of
last week, Mr. Reed spoke for the
prisoner, who will be followed by
Scoville on the same side. He, in
turn, will be followed by Judge Por
ter far the prosecution, who will close
the argument in the case tu the jury.
The charge of the court will then be
given to the jury and the case be with
them. The verdict will likely be ren
dered by the close of this week.
We will be mistaken if their
deliberations are not brief, and if their
verdict will not be what their "country
men and all Christendom are waiting
for," —one of yuilty, in the first de
gree. After that there may be delays
of one kind or another, but the end
will finally come, of the execution of
the boldest, most wicked and depraved
assassin known in the history of the
world.
COURT.
A special week of our courts conven
ed on Menday last, for the trial of cases
in both the common pleas and tbe ses
sions. Judge McJunkin is presiding
with Associates McCandless and Weir
present.
The first case in which a jury was
sworn was that of the Commonwealth
against the Supervisors of roads of
Buffalo township, this county, Robert
Miller, of Fawn township, Allegheny
county, being the prosecutor. It
seems there is a road running, in part,
through the townships of both coun
ties, and tbe Supervisors of the Al-1
legheny county township, Fuwn, com- |
plain that the Supervisors ofthe Butler
couuty township, Buffalo, do not keep
in repair their end °r part of this road. |

pair that part of the road. There are
several questions of fact aud law, we
believe, involved in the case. At this
writing, Tuesday evening, the case is
still on trial.
THE TWO CONVENTIONS.
The Philadelphia Press of the 12th
and 13th inst, speaks as follows of the
two Republican State Conventions
that have been called ; one by the reg
ular State Committee to meet at Flar-
I risburg on the 10th of May, and the
other by a conference of Independent
Republicans to meet in Philadelphia
on the 24th of May, each to nominate
a State ticket. The Press is generally
recognized as the leading Republican
paper in this State, and its counsels
are always wise and just. It well
says, if we are to have harmony in the
partv now and henceforth, all will de
pend" on the action of the regular, or
first Convention, called for May 10th,
and that action will depend lorgely
upon the kind of delegates who com
pose it and the manner in which they
are chosen. If fairness and the voice
and sentiments of a large majority of
the Republican people of the State
prevail at the first convention, then
there will be no occasion for tb3 nomi
nation of a State ticket by the second
one of May 24. But if "bossism"'
again prevails, then there will probably
be two State tickets, with certain di
vision and disaster to the party. Ihe
foifov/ing are the views of the Press
on the situation t
THE STATE CONVENTION.
The State Committee, by a bare ma
joritv of one. has called the Republi
can St' te Convention to meet at llar
risburg on the 10th of May. The
tbirtJ'-.Ofie menbers—practically half
the Committee—who votjjcl against this
proposition favored a later date. They
felt tblt the general sentiment of Re
publicans was opposed to a Conven
tion at so early a period and believed
it wise policy to bow to this judgment.
And they were emphatically right.
The first week in June would have
beet} egrly enough, and the time fixed
is a mistake.
This is no mere matter of sentiment
without a substantial foundation.
There is a practical reason why the
Convention should not have been call
ed before June. Take the effect in
Lancaster illustration. Tinder
the existing rules of the party in that
county the primaries in Lancaster are
held on the last Saturday of May
That is three weeks after the day
fixed for the State Convention. The
r/jsuty tbat tbe third Republican
county in the fctate is pitlw
chised or compelled to told a special
primary for the eleetiou of dflegfttes.
If such a special primary could be se
cured, there woulu be less ground for
complaint; but as a matter of fact,
under precisely similar circumstances
ji> former years, the County Committee
has usurped tb£ to name the
delegates, and there is every reason to
stipple that upon the same pretext it
will again undertake to perpeirate the
M.'me wrong. This is the effect, if it
was not the design, of calling the Con
vention in May instead of June, and
it clearly shows why that action is
open to just objection.
The wifdoiii of bovylpg to tj}e strong
: and emphatic expression for a later
Convention was so plain that it is dif
ficult to understand why prudent men
should have disregarded it. If there
was some sinister scheme of shutting
off a free aud fair expression, such as
we have indicated in Lancaster, then
the movement can be coroprehend'-d,
even if it eaniiot be approved- But if
there is no such purpose, it is hard to
see why there should not have been a
willingfiess to defer the Convention in
accordance with the general judgment
It is the one question upon which
there has been a strong expression,
and such a concession would have
doue very much to appease the spirit
of discouteut,.
But the call is made and ibe tiiiie is
fixed There remain four months for
discussion and preparation. The time is
ample, provided there shall not IK- an
attempt on the part of County Com
mittees to deny full opportunity for a
free expression. Let the people de
mand and insist upon the right of a
popular election of delegates; and (let
them choose strong, representative
men, who will reflect the popular will
THE WOLFE INDEPENDENTS.
The Wolfe .ndependents have met,
differed, debated, proposed, and finally
united in calling a Convention on the
24th of May That date is two weeks
later than the time of the regular Re
publican Convention. If the latter
body shall nominate a good ticket in
an unobjectionable way, the implica
tion is that the Wolfe Independents
will accept it. If, on the other band,
it shall force a ticket by obnoxious,
methods, they will repadiate it and
make a t'eket of their own.
The Conference was respectable iu
numbers and in character. It embrac
ed delegates from a lair proportion of
counties, and those who composed it
were iu the main Republicans of credi
table standing. How much of real
representetive character it possessed
cannot be answered. The delegates
were self-appointed, and whether they
spoke for many or few at home can be
judged by developments hereafter bet
ter than by anything that has thus
far taken place. Tde majority of the
Republicans of the State recognize
abuses of party management, and ear
nestly favor effective measures for
their correction : but they do not want
to kill the party in order to cure tbe
evils of its organization. They believe
that every effort should be made to
1 accomplish reform within the party,
and they are not willing to try revolu
tionary measures until it shall be dem
onstrated that all other methods are
hopeless.
The Conference acted very wisely
in declining to nominate a State ticket
at tbe present time, or to commit itself j
irretrievable to a separate line of ac-;
tion. Such a course would have l>een
not merely an assumption of authority
without any popular warrant, but an
abandonment of the Republican party.
Its effect would have been to lead every
citizen who followed it directly out of
tbe Republican c<itnp. It could only
have beeu explained or justified upon
the bold declaration tuat its advocates
repudiated all political obligations and
deliberately designed to overthrow
the pittty'witb which they tfftvc • b" n
ideuufccL £>ucb au avowal v. ouid
have repelled tens of thousands of Re-1
publicaus who share the protest against
partv wrongs; it would have opened i
the eves of those who voted for the j
Independent ticket last November to
the dangers of the movement; and it
would thus have been fatal to its
own cause. The men engaged
in the movement had the pene
tration to see that such a step would
have been suicidal, and they halted
before taking the plnnge,
With prudent counsels the course is
now clear for a practical union of all
elements of the Republican party.
Everything depends upon the spirit
and methods of the regular Republican
Convention. If that body shall fairly
reflect the public will; if the people
shall be allowed full opportunity for a
free and fair expression of their views
and their choice ; if the delegates shall
come from the Republican masses and
not from star-chamber committees,
then its action will be conclusive, and
any opposition would be as weak as
it would be unjustifiable. The first
duty of all patriotic Republicans who
seek the best interests of the party is
to make a truly representative Con-.

A SCEXE IX COIRT.
GUITEAU GIVES WARNING TO JUDGE COX
DENIED TUE RIGHT TO ADDRESS
TIIE JURY—HEEDS SPEECH
10R DEFENSE.
WASHINGTON, January 14 Wheu
the Court cpeued Guiteau said he hail
received thus far twenty-five checks
fur money, representing altogether
$ 15,000, he believed, but three of the
entire number were worthless, aud re
quested that th<>-e who wished to send
Jjim money by checks should make
them to iiia owi» oiUei.
Scoville then asked the Court tor a
decision upon his application to have
Guiteau to address the jury. He tie
sired to kuow the ruliug of the Court,
as he and Reed would prefer Guiteau
to speak before they did.
Judge Cot he was ia ca P'*
tai cases to deny any priooaer the priv
ilege of making any proper argument
jn his pwn behalf ; but he was persuad
ed that an addrefcs by this prisoner
would simply l»e a rehash and reitera
tion of bis testimony.
'lf you read it, your honor would
be of a different opinion, said Guiteau
'Jihe Court, said, 'The
prisoner's address would also contain
improprieties of statement, and It
would be grossly improper to permit
such matter to go before the jury. He
was satisfied that if any license were
»l)o\ye«} the prisoner it would be ini
possibie to restrain him. At any rate
the Court would not make the experi
ment. If there was any thing in the
manuscript of the accused, fit to be
brought before the jury, it could be
read by {]is counsel.'
'I take exception to that rnlit»^,•
cried (iuitcau. 'and I waQt the record
to sbow that I appeared here as my
own counsel, and that the court would
not allow me to speak in my own be
half. It is an outrage on American
jurisprudence. This opinion will be
shared by the American people when

encomium upon vour honor in it, and I
hope (and here his voioe assumed a
harsh, threatening tone) that I shall
not have to withdraw it. If I have to

to future ages, and I tell you so to
your face. There is—"
The Court—'Go on with your argu
pipst Hr- P-eed,'
The prisoner kept on vocireratiDg
about the vengeance of the Lord, but
when the Marshal approached him he
sat down, saying, 'I have got through.'
Reed then addressed tbejury. Presi
dent Garfield was the speaker's friend,
and the speaker knew and loved him
well. Could his spirit appear before
them to-day it would say in language
glowing arid eloquent, because it would
be from heaven: 'Let him go free; he
could not have desired to kill me ; I
never wronged him ; I never harmed
I him : give him freedom;' and the bereav
ed widow, when she kneels before God
morning and evening, asking Hint to
alleviate his sorrows, 110 doubt prays
Iliui to guide that jury at Washing
ton. Guide tbem so that they shall

in a lun.rtie Jle urged that the jury
render a verdict of n<«t guilty on the
j ground of insanity, because then the
[•supporters of monarchial institutions
; could not retort upon our free institu
i tions, and could not say that any citi
zen of the L'uited States so hated the
j Chief Magistrate of the Uuited States
i th.it he nurdered him. He then drew
| a parallel between the cases of Hat.
i field ami Oxford, the foriutr of whom
| sbot at (Jeorjfe 111., aud tbe latter of
whom attempted tbo asaasainatian of
Victoria, aud tbat of Ouiteau.
Both the former were lunatics. Hat
field's exclamation on his trial when
the witnessess appeared against him
wan, 'lt's a damn lie!' Uuiteau's cry
wan, 'lt's false !' Reference was also
made to tbe case of Lawreuce, who at
tempted to assassinate President Jack
sou. Lawrence was boisterous and tur
bulent in court, like (iuiteau, aud his
counsel were uuable to quiet him,
just as tbe prisoner at the bar refused
to keep still. Lawrence was sent to a
lunatic asylum, where (iuiteau belong
ed.
Counsel said : 'You twelve men sit
ting upon facts and evidence are supe
rior to all powers on earth. Every one
of you is a king or emperor. No army,
no potentates, no courts, no president
has any right whatever to invade you
upon that question. No insinuations
that you are to be governed by any
suggestions from anybody else are to
be considered by you You, aud you
alone, are supreme upon the questions
of fact. Any oue of you, who, after
solemnly and seriously considering the
case in the jury room, feels that he has
a fair, honest doubt as to the sanity of
this man, it is the duty of that juror,
before hie Maker to say, '1 cannot find
him puilty.' If any one man feels that
way the other eleven have no right to
dictate to him. All I utk of you is to
be men, to be moral heroes, who in the
face of calumny, in the face of persecu
tion, in the face of eveu death will do
what is right, lie such, all of you, and
I sbaU be satisfied; but any man who
falters on that question is unworthy of
the name of man. Christ healed luna- j
tics, but this prosecution says, 'put him '
to death.'
'The American people say let him
go,' interrupted the prisoner. 'Every
body is on my side.'
•In the foui'ii chapter of Matthew,
24th verse,'continued Mr. Iteed. 'are
these words, And.his lame went through
all Syria, and tbi-y brought, uiito him
Uii alf.it itee, iyueV
that were possessed of devils and those j
who were and those who had
palsy, and he healed them. This pros
ecution says,' Kill him! Hang him!
He is a wretch.'
Counsel then went on to sketch the
history of Guiteau from childhood,
'After leaving Oneida Community,'
said Reed, 'soon the germ of insanity
was seen,'
COUNTY AUDITORS.
As there are several questions af
fecting the tax payers of the county,
now before the board of our County
Auditors, we have been requested to
publish the law as to the powers the
Auditors have, and their duty, in re
ppect to auditing the accounts of the
Commissioners and other officers of
the county.
In the act of Assembly, of April 15,
1834, we find the following on the
subject:
SECTION 9 requires they "shall audit,
settle aud adjust the accounts of the
Commissioners, Treasurer. Sheriff and
Coroner ot the county, and make re-1
port, etc., together with a statement of j
the balance due from or to such Com
missioners, Treasurer, Sheriff or Coro
ner," etc.
SEC. 10 gives them the power "to
issue subpoenas to obtain the attend- j
ance of the officers whose accounts they j
are required to §djustor ' of any
persons who it may be neccessary to
examine as witnesses, and compel their
attendance by attachment, etc." Also,
"to compel the production ot all books,
vouchers or papers relative to such ac
counts, etc," aud 'to administer oaths,
etc., to such persons," false swearing
to be perjury, etc.
bEt 14 requires, auion& other things,
that the Auditors shall then proceed
"to uncertain and settle the amount of
public money received by such officer
and Us application to public purposes
or otherwise "
The above are the material points
as to the powers and duties of the Aud
itor#. What all is required by the
words "audit, settle and adjust," not
for us to say ; or whether the money
of the county has been "applied to
public purposes or otherwise." We
merely give the words ol the law as
tyhp pte&ent of And-;
itors is composed of gentlemen of in
telligence and good character and we
presume they will do full justice to the
county in auditing its accounts for the
past reap.
Polygamy in tV«Hlern Pcnn*
MJ lvania.
Two Mormon preachers, Rev. Ingle
and Wilson, are now operating in Fay
ette county this State, and the number
of accessions to the ranks of polygamy
is daily increasing. U'&ey have been
holding revival meetings in the moun
tain townships and report good succoas.
Ingle was born and raised in that
county. He subsequently drifted West,
and while in Utah became a disciple
of Brigham Young. He has returned
to preach the doctrine of Mormonispi
la ftil its LideousitPbb. ijis meetings
are beiDg held in school houses
about here and are largely attended,
An orthodox prayer-meeting stands no
chance for an audience if held in the
community where Prophet Ingle is at
the same time preaching Mormanism.
One of the young men who has lately
become a Mormon convert here, when
ajjed his opinion 49 to a plurality of
wives, said; 'lf one wife is a blessing,
which all Christendom admits, bow
can two or more be a curse V Ingle is
actually trying to get a bouse in which
to preach and start a congregation in
