Ziegler, Dei., lid Dosly, Rep., Claimed
Elected to Legislature.
Election day here was rather wet
and disagreeable, being cloudy, with
occasional rain. We write this on
Tuesday evening, and of course have
but few returns or results. Rut from
tbe day and the slim vote iu Butler
twp , we infer there has not been a full
turn out in the rural districts of the
county. Which party will lose most
by this we caunot now say, but appear
ances so far indicate it will be the Re
publicans. It is said there has been a
good deal of trading done here at tbe
Court House. Mr. Greer, Rep., for
Secretary of Internal Affairs, has re
ceived a large Democratic vote, while
Mr, Brabam, for Assembly, has 103 4
many Republican votes be should have
had, and Mr. Miller lost some on
Congress. Mr. Caldwell, for
Congress, received more than his party
vote, as also Mr. Ziegler, Deal., for the
Assembly. But who the gaining
parties take most from of the losing
ones we are at present unable to say.
Tbe full returns will show.
At time of going to press this morn
ing we have the following as to this
county:
Butler Boro, Ist ward—Pattison,

Hoffman 140; Donly 34; Braham 30.
From the above, the ,connty may be
close. No candidate for Governor
will have a majority, but Beaver may
have plurality of from 200 to 300 hun
dred over Fattison for Governor.
Stewart's vote for Governor, in the
county, will be about fame as Wolfe's
last yeir, from 700 to 800.
For Congress, Miller, we think, will
bare a majority, but it is impossible to
tell how large, not half the county le.
fng beard from up to this writing.
For tlfe Assembly it looks as .1
Ziegler, I>em, and Donly, Rep arc elect
ed. The Democrats, however, clu m*
both as well as a plurality in toe coun
ty on Governor.
Tlie M title.
From the news we have Fattison,
Democrat, is likely elected and the
whole Democratic State ticket.
New York,
Has also gone Democratic; electing
Cleveland Governor over Folger. Thus
the two great States of New York aud
Pennsylvania, have been lost to the
Republican party ; the one through the
methods of Conkling and Arthur, aud
ifce other through the methods of
Cacuerou and his ring.
NOTHING but official vote of this
couoty can determine results, as to
majorities or pluralities on State or
County* tickets.
Middlesex twp., uot included in our
election returns, in another column,
gave Stewart, Inddependent Repub
lican for Governor, l'J votes, being a
small increase over Wolfe's vote of
last year.
AN OLD FRIEND. —Last week Mr
John Thompson, of Middlesex town
ship, this county, was in our town and
honored the CITIZEN office with his
usual call. He is now 84 years of age,
and while time and age are making
their marks upon him, and while it can
not be said that "bis eye is not dim or
his natural force abated," yet we have
hopes, from his strong constitution,
that he may still live many years and
enjoy the respect of all who know him.
He is the oldest, we believe, of that
large family once prominent in the
county, and most of whom have passed
away. The Hon. James Thompson
late Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
of this State, was a younger brother o'
his, and Mrs. Jacob Mechling, Jr., late
dee'd, of this place, was a sister. These
and other brothers and sisters are gone.
There is no man in our county that we
i have more kind regard for than Mr.
John Thompson, of Middlesex town
ghip, and hope he may be spared to his
friends for many years to come.

WIIERKAH, Connoquenossing Lodge,
No. 278, I. O. I). F., of Butler, Pa.,
of which ho was a faithful and honor

sad event, as well as to tender to the
family of our deceased brother their
heartfelt sympathy aud condolence in
their affliction. Therefore,
Hexulnd That in the death of

None better understood and appreci

are brothers, all alike being children
of our Father who art in Heaven.
We, therefore, feel and know that we

family of our brother have lost a kind
and affectionate husband and father.
Resolved., That while we bow our
heads in sorrow at the death our well
beloved brother, and mingle our tears
in sympathy with his bereaved family,
wondering in our rebellious hearts why
such a man should lio taken away
from those who loved a tul respected

PHILADELPHIA, NOV. 3 —Wharton
Barker Las to-day received the follow
ing letter from Governor Ilovt.
|
HARRISBURU, NOV. 3. 1382.
To Wharton Hurker, Esq., Philadelphia:
Adhering to the accepted traditions j
of our people, 1 must decline, while i
holding a public office, essentially non- J
partisan, to take any part in a distinc-!
tive political meeting. '1 his point of
proprietv, which need not be urged,
will forbid my acceptance of your in
vitation to preside over the assembly
of Independent Republicans at Horti
cultural Hall, in Philadelphia, to-night.
If I understand the objects of this
gatheriog of careful and judicious citi
zens, it is to give elfisct to certain cou
victions affecting the political welfare
lof the State. It is ihe assertion of the
inherent right of the freemen of a re
| public to declare the proper aims and
ends of public conduct and to proclaim
their own motives and purpose. This
right iuheres in every individual and in
every assembly.
REVOLUTION THE REMEDY.
A p litieal party is a voluntary as
j soc'ation, and in no sen°e does its right
| to exist depend upon its mitU'-rical size
ior upon the accident ol its includiug
j the mere brute force of a majority.'
> When standing ro JOI is no longer al
lowed to the members of a political
party with a margin for self-respect;
when its lines become simply coter
ruinous with the limits of some usurp
ing dvnasty ; when in all the space be
tween abject submission and rebellion,
no place is given for appeal, argument
or protest, revolution is an appropriate
remedy. All proud and generous
minds will resist the imposition of serf
dom, and will leave to villains and re
tainers their badge of servitude to the
intruding feudal system Any charac
terization of thone engaged in this
movement, which flippantly class them
with "soreheads" aud "kickers," mis
takes the voting power of the Pennsyl
vania manhood. There is an undenia
ble justification for ymr uprising. Its
grounds are open and p 1 ;n to the peo
ple, whether accepted or uot. This the
tens of thousands of the best instructed,
most couscieutious and spirited citizens,
who have joined in this method of up
rooting palpable public wrongs, attest;
other tens of thousands of such eitiz ns
sympathize with you, and only doubt
whether your heroic surgery is the lrjst
treatment.
SEES HIS WAY CLEAR
For myself, I had not seen my way
clear to act with you. I had expected
to drift along, giving th ; Republican
ticket a formal support, aud hive done
so. 1 have, to friends here, maintain
ed that attitude until now. At this
late day I am fully advised of the
methods of vengeance being contrived
for those now considered in revolt.
Some of the rebels, nay most of them,
are among the most courageous spirits
in th'? State. They know the humilia
tion it costs proud men to have masters,
their moral power crushed out in re
peated calls to surrender to the gross
demands of those who only see in party
success the means of patronage distri
bution, and that made in the interests
of personal power.
When I reflect on Ihe humiliation
put upon myself, as Chief Magistrate,
for resisting some of the purposes of the
Machine which puts polities above ad
ministrative propriety, and when I re
flect upon the force of the
INKULTI.VO METHODS
applied to myself, by means of threats,
intrigue and bad faith, 1 realize some
of Cardinal Wolsey V, regrets that he
"had not served l.is God with half the
zeal be had his King."
fn the name of decency, and in be
half ol s:;y successor, 1 wish to empha
size the curse of ti.n whole business
and sound a note of warning to the
whole people. Self-respect compels me
to this avowal; nor will peace and re
form ever come until the moral forces
in politics, which you have organized,
prevails. If their courage be added to
their conviction, the masses of voters
will promptly rally to your standards
and ftid you to au overflowing success ;
and such Is the duty of tljo voters of
Pennsylvania.
The logic of the situation which con- 1
fronts you, and which confronts the ,
electors of the State, demands a speedy
decision and final result. With such a i
triumphant outcome the Republican I
voters, at least, will have
UZSQI Hl< TUEUt I'.VK'I Y
from present peril and from future out- ,
rages. Thus no revenges will be left j
outstanding, for no revenges will be j
possible The brutal schemes of
slaughter, now contemplated, will be ;
abandoije:), sjmJ the factional stilleto
and the guillotine, now prepared for I
"Bolters" and "Rebels," will not be
put to their intended use. In the
future the halls of the Lochiel House
at ll*rrisburg longer resound
with the. tread of elaquers, hastily sent
to KUjit'iiu.'j KCif*re*pccti:ig aud honora

submission lo ' slated tickets and pre
arranged programmes, threatened With
ostracism in case < f nou-comp!i:ince, or

Movement* on Record.
TirrsviLi.E, Oct. 31.—One of the |
greatest bullish syndicates ever or
ganized and known to the oil trade
will b? consummated to-morrow, Nov.
Ist, by the parties concerned signing
tho necessary documents, The scheme
is to enroll all the leading producers
in the oil country to discontinue the
drill for six m >nths from date to May
1, 1883. Among the largest produ
cers who are forwarding this scheme
to completion are McKinney it Co.,
Uaion Oil Company, Tidewater Pipe
Company, John J. Carter, 11. B.
Porter and others. All the parties
concerned are determined men and
will carry the scheme into successful
execution.
OIL, OPERATION'S FOR OCTOBER.
The report of oil operations for
October is ready and is fully as bull
i-h as anticipate I by the trade. It
shows that at the close of the mouth
j there were in the entire field 12$ rigs
jup and building, against 176 the
' month previous, and 169 wells drill
ing against 125 in September. The in
crease in the drilling wells is un
doubtedly due to tbe better prices
for petroleum causing a partial resump
tion of operations. The number of
wells completed during October was
116, with a production of 186.2 barrels
per day against 170 wells and 4 >49
barrels production iu September, tue
falling oil' being in great part caused
bv the sudden collapse of Cherry Grove,
though there i-> undoubtedly a gradual
deureasc in ;iil the old fields. The fact
that twen : y dry holes have been found
indicates t.:at the wildcat operator has
been seeking new fields or testing the
outer edges of the defined territory.
But eighteen wells were completed in
the Bradford field, with a production of
3111 barrels, au increase of four wells
and a decrease of sixteen barrels pro
duction.
Allegheny comes to the front with
an increase of sixteen wells and 183
barrels production as compared with
S -ptembji', aud is the only field show
ing an increase iu both wells and pro
duction. Although cousiderable activ
ity has becu displayed in Haldridge,
IJutler county, and Cranberry, Venan
go connty, tfie daily output has only
been increased 225 barrels, against
2'JS in September. Cherry Grove
completed thirty-nine wells, most of
wbich were drilling in September, and
only added 515 barrels against the
yield of the previous mouth of 32'.)0
barrels There are thirty-one wells
drilling iu that field, many of which
siro uot expected to pay the cost of
putting down.. Both Bradford and
Allegheny are pretty thoroughly
drilled, and little will be done in the
immediate future in those sections at
the present price of oil.

Mrs. Margaret Seguin, wife of Dr.
Edward 0. Seguin, a prominent physi
cian of New York, killed her three
children last Thursday and then com
mitted suicide. She took the children
to a room on the top floor of her house,
locked the door, blindfolded the chil
dren—two bovs and one girl—and tied
their hands behind their backs, and
then shot them. The oldest child was
less than six years of age. No cause
is kuown for the crime except that Mrs.
Segilin had become temporarily insane.
She had been despondent and melan
choly for some time, but it was not
suspected that she would become insane.
And now comes another astronomer
with a new theory of the comet. It
grazed the earth on the 19th of April
while on its way toward the sun, and
produced the great electrical disturbance
and extraordinary auroral display of
that night. Several persons saw a
comet on that occasion, though most
people didn't. The comet was thrown
off tho track bv the collision and went
pluuging wildly towards the sun, where
it received another Bhock, was badly
i scattered and its subsequent movements
became erratic. The eoijjet seen close
to the HUH during the eclipse of May
17th was the present one at the period
j of its close brush and bad shaking up
by the solar influence. If there ore
difficulties in the way of this theory
being accepted we leave its author to
smooth them away—we shall not at
tempt it.
The director of tl.jo mint shows the
amount of money in the country on
June .'SO, last, to have been $1,511,000,-
j 000. This is an enormous circulation
of money. In round numbers, at the
■ close of 1878, the amount of paper cir
j eolation, national bank and government,
j was not over The banks
| had about ,0(i0,000 in gold coin in
I 577 The total gold coin in the banks
und treasury at that date was not much
over $100,000,000. This would make
our total circulation at the period of
resumption about $530,000,000. The
mint dire-tor puts it as high as $!,1G5,-
000,000. Thus ut tlie proHdit time Yyu
Imve an excess of s7l I ,000,000 of cir
culation over that the count"/ carried
in 1H77 7S ; or, taking the figured of
the director of the mint, an exec s of
about $100,000,000. Hut as a great
j, irt. of the coin in the country in IM7B
was hoarded, it is safe to tay ti.at thu
amount of cireulatlon at the present
time is fully #5700,000,000 over IBTB.
Here is an inflation of money unpar

To Rev. Thomas Robinson :
Pious SIR: —In the cf last
week, which you write for, and think
you cover yourself behind the name of
your son and another young man, you
make such an unjust and meau attack
upon Mr. Negley, tbe senior editor of
the CITIZEN, that it becomes our duty
to him to correct aud at the some
time expose you. Aud we do so be- ,
cause, first, we believe you knew Mr.
Negley was uot the cause of the "light'' !
in the CITIZEN office on last Sabbath
evening a week, th?t you refer to,
and second because it is right and
proper that your I'haritaival attempt
to make a little cheap capital lor your
self, at bis expense, bv your referring
to said "light" iu his office on that
evening, should be exposed. And
therefore we inform you that we w* re
the persons in the office on that even
ing, and we were the persons that
lighted one of the gas jets, aud we
were wholly responsible for that
"brilliant light" that you. in sneaking
around, as your known custom is to
do, say was "noticed by people leturn
ing from chuich." Mr. Negley had
nothing to do with it, but was at
church that night, where, we believe,
you was not. We were reading in
the office and nnd lit a jet for that pur
pose—you never read on Sunday ?
O no ! Righteous Robinson. When
it is considered that this matter comes
from a man who, by common report,
writes his editorials «n Sunday, and
has done so for years, and from a man
who is kuovvn to make Sunday a s-pe
eial day for his prowling around,
piotting and talking politics, we think
it a duty to expose yoq. And further,
you, Thomas Robinson, was seen
iu the day time of that very day, last
Sabbath a week, at the head quarters
of the Rumberger-branch political
club, or Committee room, of this place,
only two doors from the CITIZEN
office. You were seen in there, an! <1
can be proven you were there. What
were you doing there ? There is the
place that politics are talked letters
written, documents distributed, etc.
From the fact of your being there, the
natural inference is you were attend
ing to political matters in your
u.->ual sneaking way. We refer to this
that the public may know your con
sistency, your honesty and your re
yard for "Lhe sanctity of tbe Sabbath."
The idea of you making a show of re
ligion, by talking about "the sanctity
of the Sabbath being brok'M in upon,"
makes every boy in town laugh. As
well might you talk about y mi honesty
since your celebrated "ton-uige tux"
vote in tho Legislature. You are not
a proper man to create a suspicion on
men better than yourself, either as re
gards "the sanctity of the Sibbath" or
anything else. I>y a little inquiry you
ooilld easily have ascertained who was
iu the CIT'/KN office, und what they
were doing on the time you si meanly
refer to and try to fix upon Mr. Neg
ley. We work iu his office, as Is well
known to you, and your base attempt
to injure him with religious or church

you now sec a litle more "light," and

MUITOKH CITIZKN: My attention has
been called to one of the many lir.x in
the J'j'ajte of last week, in which my
sympathy for the Independent cau.e
was questioned, and in which 1 aiu
represented as having in haste the
Independent meeting in the Court
Ilottse, on the evening of the l'f<tl},
(let., and also with haying niido re
marks on the street unfavorable to an
old friend of mine who was taking part
in the proceedings of tb it meeting.
1 wish to contradict all of the ab >vo as
lies manufactured by old "Ton-nage
Tax," or some of his spies. Having
business, I had to leave the meeting
sooner than I otherwise would, have
done, and I made no such remarks
t«,s are attributed to me about the meet
ing or any of the speakers at it. I
supp »s«i Mr. Itobinson thought lie was
safe in putting that and other similar
falsehoods in liis paper last week, as
the election would eouio olf before they
could i>e contradicted, ami he could
thus gratify his pers irial enmity with
out risk of being corrected.
