BUTLER CITIZEN JOHN n"fc wT C. NEGIEY, PBOP'BS, 1 Entered at the Postoffice at Butler as gecond-clasgs matter. Iw Mercer county there are fourteen announcements made fcr the Republi can nominations for the Legislature. THE ten-cent fond originated by the Philadelphia Press for "Betty and the Biby" now amounts to three thousand dollars. . Ma. JAMES B. MORPUY and family of Prospect have removed to this place. Mr. Murphy is an experienced carpen ter by trade and will be employed at the Purvis Mills in this place. ANXIETY to see the great oil strike of Simcox & Meyers brought a great many strangers to our town last week. It was impossible for our livery stables (and they are many) to supply the de mands for rigs to the well. CAPT. THOMAS HAYS and Dr. Cun ningham were in town last week, in attendance on the Republican County Committee meeting. Hon. William P. Braham, James P. Parker, Esq. and W. S. Waldron, Eeq.. were also in town on that day. Mr. William M. Marshall was here on Monday of this week. These gentlemen are all candi dates for the Legislative nomination this year, and, with Messrs. Donly and Scott, we believe are all who are known as such up to this date. THE nearest road from Butler to Renfrew's Mill, near which is the Sim cox and Myres well, is by the Plank road, for about two miles, and then the Brownsdale road, for about a mile, and then by the road leaving it, this side of the William R. Patterson farm, about another mile down to the Renfew'a Mill. This way ha,s as good roads as the one around and more trav eled, except a piece of stony way ofter the Connoquenessing creek is reached, but is a mile or more shorter than the other. THE COMING CROPS. It is pleasant to sec and hear of the condition of the growiug crops of this county. The wheat fields never look ed better than now. Grass is further on than for many years at this time. It is rather early to gpeak confidently, but present appearances are most grat ifying for an excellent crop this year. The short one of last year left the country without much surplus, which a good one this year will supply. QUITEAU'B LAST HOPE. The bill of exceptions taken in the Guiteau trial have been filed by his counsel. They are thirty-two in number and all as to the rulings of the Court and matters occurring dugng the trial. The "Court in Banc," of which Guiteau talked so much, will soon now have these exceptions before It and will make short work with them. Judge Cox, who tried Guitoau, will be a member of this Court ot review. A few weeks more will probably end this last hope of the assassin. THE NEW OIL FIELD. Until the flowing well of SimcoxaDd Myers was struck there was not full faith in the Bald Ridge enterprise and territory. Bnt the fine well of Simcox and Myers settles the question aDd proves that good wella and good oil are to be found down the Connoque nessing from this place. It commenc ed to flow at the rate of about one hundred barrels per day and continues flowing to this date. The oil is of a brighter yellow color than any we have yet seen anywhere. It is said by those who know to be of the very best quality. This well opens up a new field, and, if supported by others drilling near by, will make a boom in and around But ler such as we have never had. Its effects have already l»een manifested, in the vigorous leasing and purchase of territory within its immediate neigh borhood. But should not equally as good strikes come to its support soon, it proves nevertheless that large pro ducing wells may be found down the creek from this place. €>«»Yt?rii<»r lloyi. It his lon/ been known that Gov. Hoyt submitted with litt!e grace to the Cameron dictation. He has f-It that, if not a big enough man to stand alone, he was of sufficient importance to be regarded a j an e<|>: il pirtner, and on more than one occasion he has put for ward the claim with the force of which he is capable. Senator Cameron has as often dissented from the Governor's views, not only in grand council, fre quently preferring to move the pawns on the board without consulting the Governor and in opposition to his known wishes. The declaration of independence published the other day in the Governors home organ has been accepted as public notice of the final break in a political association which has not been mutually satisfactory There has been a good deal of specula tion touching the G° VRrn< ""' f ' motive for a break at this particular time. A report which has just gained publicity may afford an explanation. It Is said that William Dowd, of New York, has offered Govenor Hoyt the position of attorney for the Hannibal and St. Josoph Railroad Company, of which be is president, at a salary of $12,000 a year ;that the Govenor has accepted the tender and will make bis home in New York at the expiration of bis term. Governor Hoyt has had experience as a railroad lawyer, having formerly been one of the general counsel of the Le high'Valley Railriad Company. The rumor, though Lot in general circula tion, finds credit in the present condi tions of the Governor's political affairs. The Governor is not in town to-night, —Exchange. COMMITTEE MEETING. Brow«. Greer iiud JBcav#r En dorsed. No part of the duty of the County Committee that met last week was per formed with more pleasure than was that of endorsing Maj. A. M. Brown for the Supreme Court nomination. I There were many reasons that made this action both proper and pleasant to our people. In addition to his conced ed legal ability and eminent fitness for a place on the bench of the Supreme Court, he is known to our people and is a general favorite among them Like Mr. Greer, whom the Committee also endorsed for the post of Secretary of Internal Affairs, Mr. Brown is a native of our county. With these two sons upon the State ticket Butlei county will give a good account of her self in November. Maj. Brown's rep utation as a lawyer, however, extends far beyond bis immediate neighbors or home. In the wfcote western part of the State be has or will be emitted : and there are such reasons why he should be nominated at the present time as must, and we hope will, induce the State Convention to respond to the wished of the people. These reasons we have heretofore urged and need not i now repeat. It will be the highest wisdom in the party to place him in , nomination as it will make certain the r election of the Republican candidate. . His friends should spare no effort to bring about what plainly appears to be a necessity of the day. > Of Mr. Greer we need not speak at * length as be is well known here at hi* home. There is no necessary antag ! onisui between his nomination lor the office of Secretary of Internal Aftairs, 1 o' the Commonwealth, and that of any 1 other n«mination % to be made. The 1 western part of the State is entitled to 1 its full share of State positions. Here * tofore it has not received them, and the r coming State Convention will be asked ■ to do the great west justice on the 1 present occasion GENERAL BEAVER. Now that our County Committee i has spoken on the subject, all doubts are settled as to whom the Republicans of this county prefer as their candidate for next Governor. In fact there was no mistaking the opinions of the great mass of the party in this county for some time past. Many leading Repub licans it is true objected to some of bis past political associations and acts, and also to the alleged action of a few men at Washington in his favor. But this action bad every appearance of being a volunteer one on the part of these persons. Gen. Beaver virtually repudiated it and appealed to the peo ple for his support. He knew, and it was evident to all closely ob serving political events, that the time had arrived when the people of Penn sylvania desired to honor and promote him. That attempt to appropriate him neither advanced or retarded his inter -1 ests. He is the present favorite of the 1 people for next Governor, because the 1 people know his services to his country, 1 aud also know his personal character and worth. If we can not trust a man of Gen. Beaver's character, whom can we trust? We believe that when he 1 comes to be the Governor of this great ' State be will bo its Governor ' himself. We believe that he in no wise will lend himself to the prolong ' ing of an odious personal rule. He is ' too good a man for that. He will come to the chief executive ollice of the State by reason of his own merits, personal 1 worth and public services, and his fu ' ture wo believe will be bright and pos -1 sibly in still higher fields of public : service. The delegates from this 1 county to the State Convention are in- Htructed for him, are his friends and will give him an earnest and a cordial support in the coming State Conven tion. And they will do so not only on account of his services to hiscountry, ' but because they repose confidence in his honor, integrity and personal in -1 dependence of character. , KaHlcr C'toiireli KxcrcUctt. The following have been handed us ns to the exercises iu some of I lie churches of this place on last Sunduy : During Holy Week, social services were conducted in the Reformed Church of Butler, by Rov T. F. Stauf f.»r, pastor of the congregation. The Lord's supper was administered on kastcr morning. Fourteen persons were admitted to membership, ten by confirmation and four were received from other congregations. At the English Lutheran Church the attendance was largf r than known for some time |ytst. Fifteen new members participated in the Sacrament, some of whom were admitted to member*hip on certificates fiom other churches and some by the rite of confirmation. The Butler Cornet Hand, I/. Wise, leader performed on Kaster Sunday during mass at the Knglish Catholic Church in town. The band distin guished itself by making appropriate music during divine service, music that added to its sublimity. They dis played good taste in nianifenting that, thev know and understand that the church is not the place were all that is enjoyable ought to be presented and enjoyed That the sacred place of worship is not a place wherein all manner of sounds that tickle the ear are to be heard. Kvery musical instru ment was well managed, and the drums equallv well, which latter are, alas, generally vulgarly beat. We hold that all musicians should consider the church nothing less than the place where man ap|»ears, as it were, in the sight of (iod, and before God to refresh and to brace himself for his duties as a man, and where in His presence lie pours forth his heart in grief, in peni tence, in joy, and in supplication. Music should testify towards it. Embroidery of all kinds is the fea ture of the season- ilntUt Citiiwti J SVpcil I2> 1882. IMPORTANT IETTEB FROM SE.VATOR HIK ULLL. He Drcliirof* for a Sew liCader »hip In Politico. PHILADELPHIA, April 7.—The Press | prints a letter of Senator Mitchell in | replv to one from W haiton Barker, in , which the latter denounces the leader- , ship of Senator Cameron, that 'the i Republican party can no longer control Pennsylvania or the nation unless the honest, wise and capable men can have their proper voice in the direction of affairs,' and concluding : 'The Presi dent knows of Pennsylvania politics at the bands of Senator Cameron, and hence knows nothing. I write to you becausa I want you to know the state of affairs, as the "independents here in Philadelphia see it, and because I want you to have a chance of doing a great public work and of saving the Repub lican party from sure death, [he chance now at your door seldom comes to any man, and while the responsi bility is great the advantages arc far greater.' SENATOR MITCHELL'S LETTER. Senator Mitchell's reply is as fol lows : WASHINGTON, March 22, 1882. Wharton Barker, Esq., Philadelphia: DEAR SIR—I have Ut doyn several times* to reply to your letter of the lL'Uj inst , but have each time been called off bv some pressing affair of iba mo ment. I regret to say that my time Is so much consumed by petty details that 1 ha*« little to use as I would in attending to the leglvituiM? work of a legislator. i And now, in view of the tenor, not the tow of your letter, I hardly know what to i»a y. \ feel assured that your political object is tl»e s»w>i M W7 owd ' to see if it be possible to reunite tho Republican party In Pennsylvania upon its highest plane of thought and pon science and purpose. I recognize and am very glad to ac knowledge tbo claims upon myself of all such as you who have at heart the welfare of the true commonwealth, and, as means to that end, the purification and continued supremacy of the true Republican part;. I think your conclusion that, as hitherto managed, the Republican party ifl in the decline in Pennsylva nia, is quite true, in view of the judg ment parsed upon \U piaaagement lately in your city and elsewbe?,*. These spasms do not surprise me, for they naturally supervene, and one who has '.vatched the disease I have, rec ognizes them as inevitable symptoms. But it is one thing to diagnose, and quite another to cure a disease. When 1 said to a friend lately that Philadel phia should send representative men to the May convention as one import ant "local application,' he insUted that the remedy must come from the country—that Philadelphia cannot now speak for herself by such men. This Ido not credit. At least I hope it is otherwise, and that you will look to this and see whether she cannot have a will of her own therein. Ihe trouble has generally come from Phil adelphia and Pittsburg as combined central forces united with "rotten bor ough representatives from minority counties. I have seen it over and over agaiu in legislatures and conventions. With such forces combined and skiiful ly generaled, the country has ever been overpowered or used, and must be un til honest and good men everywhere combine. Then they can mak« »bort work of all who stand in ti.eir way. A CHANGE OF LEADERSHIP. Hut this involves u change of lea dership, if not of all leaders. We are in process of construction, and must not forget that there can be no leaders without followers. Such a change of front iu the face of a well disciplined adversary is a very dangerous feat. Still, when the time comes, as in this case, it is a necesary evolution, and it will go on of its own force, whatever its fledgling may be—ringed, streaked or speckled. Therefore, I conclude that a change of leaders is now inevitable—or a change in the action and spirit of those who remain. This has been my expec tation for years. My advice has been consistent with this view from the first. 1 am sorry that it has not been respect ed more than it appears to me to have been. Hut too much should not be ex pected of men grown rigid in practice upon a different line of thought. I do not believe in the political methods too much and too long in practice in our Stute. The people generally do not I have opposed them from my first entrance into legislative life, and shall coutinue to do so. Hut I must do this in ways which I deem to be faithful to my obligations and my duty to the Republican party. I shall be condemned, of course, on the one side or the other, and probably somewhat upon both sides. I expected ibis from the first, for 1 knew that my election was but a tryce between "opposing and enduring forces," one of which, found- Ed in conscience and right, led by supe rior intellect, wonld be master in this process of reconstruction. It was a natural against an artificial aristocracy. These forces are still extant and active, therefore strife and friction are inevita ble. REI'UBI.tCAK PRINCIPLES IMI'KIIISIIABI.K, Now. what do you propose for reme dy ? What would you have me do? I am willing to do anything I can to unite and streng'-hen the Republican party for the work which lies before it. Its principles must be adhered to. The rights and interests of men and capital demand this, the higher work of the new republic in many things re quires it. The spirit of that party will not die. It may be incorporated anew, but its soul 'goes marching on.' The principal dangers, then, which lie along the way of this new departure, are material, and they threaten the tariff, the currency, the even tenor of trade, and the encouragement of commerce abroad. These wi!i suffer while we cross this stream, unless we make sure of our footing in pas-sing. What we now need is a representa tive convention, with a will anil mirid of its own—a body of men who wiil reflect the sentiment of the localities they represent, who shall confer, delib erate mid decide what is for the best ns to men for the front, and as to meas ures for their guidance in ofHce. The work of such u convention would be ratified at, the polls ; that of one met only to indorse what has been decreed iu a spirit of dictation will not be, in my judgment, at the next election. We should find a common ground upon which we can all stand in behalf of the cause we love. Why not'{ There are plenty of good men ou both sides in your citv. Why can you not invite a meeting of such, first a few iu quiet, and later more, and so carry your dele gate elections for good men who have the confidence of both sides ? 1 here must be a multiple for each side. It must be found sooner or later, and the I sooner the better for all. I think the • men who have run things in your city I see now that rest is good for them. If □ ot, still there can be such conference ' and union of those who will 'join to I I guard what each desires to gain.' I ! hope such an effort will be made. lor ! mvself I am willing, and I believe the | people would be willing, to lay aside ! all personal preference as against the I advice of such a convention. This letter is quite unsatisfactory, but it is the best I can do now. Very respectfully yours, JOHN I. MITCHELL ( HOUSE BILL VETOED. The I'resodeitt Heinrua it to ibe Senate. WASHINGTON, April 4. —The Presi dent's veto of the Chinese bill was re ceived with considerable sense of relief bv a large number of Senators and Representatives who voted for it un der the pressure of a supposed public opinion. The prohibition of Chinese immigration is not denied as a matter of riiTht vitL»in 3. reasonable period, but the limitation'to twep'ty yeats regarded by many who yoted for it as excessive, and they cin;ply did vo^e for it in order to secure the principle. Although the measure was carried by more than a two-thirds vote, there is no indication that it will re cede such a fot'OljcJable support as against the President's vet&. ft now proposed to amend the measure by substituting ten years for twenty years, ao it je fpojcded that the mea sure can be rprenapted if 4PP!ff 6< ? viable at tb£ of that tirqe. The President's actioq, it is under stood from official sources, was Ift/ffely influenced by the probable position of the Chinese Government, as ascertained from its wlpistPF American > commercial and mercantile Ifltprestp, which are very extenalve ill that coijn try, would be disastrously affected by retaliatory measures. A number of Democrats at an in formal conference decided to antago nize any measures that the Republi cans may bring forward on the Chi nese juue&tjop, in the hopes of throw ing the responsibility Ul/QO setP>$ et P> 80 that the Democratic nominees I»ay carry tho States of Colorado, Nevada, California and Oregon, if a revised measure should fail tbfc fault wi'l be with the Democrats. The Republi cans will prepare a measure in accor dance with the President's veto, and endeavor to secure concurrent action at once. TILK DEMOCRATS OVEB TIIK ADVANTAOE TIJEY MA* WASHINGTON, April 4—l here will be no attempt to override the Presi dent's veto of the Chinese bill, and it it not at all probable any modified bill will be passed. The Democratic mcMiOers are entirely satisfied to let the onus of defeating the anti-Chinese legislation rest upon tjie President, and there are not enough Jfcopub'u'fHis favorable to the ideas of the yetoed bill to bring a new bill to a vote. Gen eral Uosecraus claims the veto assured the Democrats control of the House. The Republicans will not, he thinks, even attempt to contest the Congres sional elections in California, Oregon and Nevada, while the labor interest from one end of the country to the other will be arrayed against the Pres ident's party. Mr. Pago expresses himself disappointed and disheartened. He had prepared himself for a qualified veto, but the document is scarcely tbat.it being probably impossible to frame a bill which would be effective to exclude the Chinese and not be open to the objections found '»y l ' )e Presi dent to the present bili. Mr Page does not expect to pass the bill ovur the veto, because the Democrats will now refuse to help He means, how ever, to put them on record, if possible, lie is sure all the Republicans iu the House who voted for it originally will vote to pass it over the veto if they have a chance. Senator Miller, of California, thinks the President made a grave political mistake, which would weaken the administration all over the country, by arraying the labor in terest against the Republican party. The Newark Methodist Episcopal Conference adopted a resolution ap proving I'resident Arthur's veto of the anti-Chinese bill. CALIFORNIA PRESS ON TIIE VETO. S,'N FRANCISCO, Apri i. —The Bulletin says regarding the veto of tho Chinese bill: "The President has not done a good day's work for himself, the Republican party, or the country. Garfield with his knowledge on the subject would have signed the bill. The people of the Pacific do not intend to give ■tip the light. The thing to be done is either to pass the bill over the veto or pass it over again. The people here fully understand them selves, and will not bo betrayed into action that might toll against them." The Pout, in the light of subsequent events regrets the ten-year compromise was not accepted by the gentleman in charge of the bill, and recognizes that the wishes of other parts of the Union demand equal consideration at the hands of the Executive, anil is not disposed to judge the President s action hurridly or severely. It councels patience until constitutional redress can be obtained. I.oth the above articles were written before the reasons for the veto were received. The Alto to-morrow will comment bitterly on the action of the President in vetoing the Chinese bill. "1 he veto appals every Republican iu the State, and proves the President is the slave a'ld not the master of the eastern bigots and sacred New York merchants lie reminds us of our insignificance at the east, that tho wants of California are nothing to Massachusetts and New Kngland. Tho veto means the loss to the Republican pirty of California, Nevada, Oregon, Hakota, Arizona, Utah and Wyoming and the demoralization of the party west of the Rocky Mountains. Wo acknowl edge the bitterness of defeat., but do not give up the fight." FiiciirliiK K l>owii to a Fine rutin.

The decision rFi>d at Harrisburg yesterday in the uaeo of the Gon?i|)or)- wcalth against the Standard Oil Com.- pany is a victory not only for that company but for all foreign corpora- tions (loin# business in Pennsylvania. Under a statute taxing the capital stock of such corporations the State plowed that the entire capital stock of a lorelgo pompany was subject to taxation. The Goiyrt yesterday de cided that this positiop is wqtpnab]o # and held that a ta* can bo levied on only so much of the capital stock as is represented by the property and tho business of tho company within the State. As the IIERALD mantained at the beginning of the trial, some weeks ago, this is the only conclusion consist ent with law or reason. If one State may tax tho entire capital stock of a foreign corporation which happens to be doing business within its borders every Stato may do the same thing. The resijlf would bo that a corporation might bo taxed on its P&pital stock twenty times over, and its entire prop; erty thus confiscated under tho namo of taxation. The Western Union Tel egraph Company, for example, trans acts business in every State of the Union. To levy a tax in each of the thirty-eight States on its total capital stock of eighty million dollars would be to bankrupt and ruin the company. The great difference in the result be tween taxing a company on its entire capital utock and on the part propor tionate! to iu property ijnd business in tin! Ktato is illustrated by ibo of tho Standard Oil Company. The amount of tax claimed by the State wa-« about eight hundred thousand dollars; the amount allowed by the Court, exclusive of costs, interest, Ac., was about eighteen thousand dollars. While the principle aflirined yesterday is of general importance the decision has a special interest for the people of this State, since the statute passed at A Utany last year is similar to that just construod in Pennsylvania, although no attempt has been made under the fr'ew York law to tax tho whole capital stock of a corporation doing business here. It is said that an appeal will be taken in the Pennsylvania case, but the judgment is not likely to be dis torted.—N. Y. Ilrrald, 5 intU. An litl<*r<>MliiiK Fuel.

Parshall. The circumstances of the shooting are as follows: Yesterday a number of the Swedes got drunk and disorderly at Wampum. Burgess Par shall and Constable Dindinger took two of them into custody. When they were bringing their prisoners to Wampum Wilson came up to them, laid his hand on one of the arrested Swede's arm and said : 'What is the matter with this man?' Parshall put his hand in his pocket, drew a revolver and replied: 'Touch this man at your peril!' and immediately fired, the bul let taking effect over the right eye of Wilson- Wilson was taken to a doc. tor's office and the bullet, which had flattened, was extracted. It is feared concussion of the brain may ensue. The Burge9» was arrested, and for a time it was feared that an effort would be made to lynch him. MARRIED. COVERT—POWELL—On April 6th, 1882, by Rev.
