floods and steal all they can. The or

not be very wfong.
THE switch running from Coalville
to the mines on Esquire John Smith's
farm, Cherry twp , this county, will be
completed in a few days.
RESOLUTIONS o r respect to the mem

crowded out this week.
THE I*. P. congregation of Centre-

new church on to-morrow, 22d inst.
All friends are invited to attend.
W ALTER L. GBAHAM, ESQ . has re
ceived a letter from his honor the
Mayor of Cincinnati, acknowledging
the reception of money sent from here
for the relief of the flood sufferers at
that city.
TO-MORROW, 22d of February, is
Washington's birth day. One hun
dred and fifty years are completed since
the birth of the Father of our country.
It is a holiday—and should be kept
•and honored by all.
MR. JOHN MCDONALD CROSSAN
proprietor of the Monongabela House
at Pittsburgh, died at bis residence in
that city last week, in the G7th year of
his age. He and the Monongabela
House were favorites with many of our
people r who regret to learn of his death.
THE destruction by the late floods
along the Ohio river is truly amaziDg
Towns on both the Ohio and Ken
tucky sides of the river were entirely
submerged and in some cases nearlv
swept away. The suffering and loss
is terrible and impossible to descrilje.
The river was never known to be so
high nor the damage so great.
THE reported failure of Ayer & Co.,
a large ironr manufacturing firm of
Chicago, it is feared will affect the
firm of Brown, Bunnell & Co., of
Youngstowo, Ohio. The firms were
connected in business. \Ve hope the
report may uot l»e true as to Brown,
Bonnell A: Co., as they are among the
enterprising compaires who are de
veloping the coal fields in the upper
part of this county.
MR. WILLIAM E. DODGE, who died
at bis hom<». in New York last week,
was one of the very best men in the
whole country He was pre-eminent
ly distinguished for his charities. Ibe
possessor of an estate valued at $5,000-
000, he did not for years past permit
his estate to accumulate, but gave to
charities of every kind, not only in
this country, but all over the world.
It is said his benefactions averaged
SI,OOO a day for years past. No man
in this country was more benevolent,
or ever did more good than William
E. Dodge.
TH* Honorable Mr. Bragg, in Cou
gress from Wisconsin, seems to have
none of the "milk of human-kindness"
in his composition. Last week he is
reported as telling: our member, Mr.
Miller, that be "had been raised on
buttermilk." This he intended as dis
respect to our member. Now as there
is no more nourishing nutriment, or
delicious drink than buttermilk, this
man Bragg evidently knows nothing
of its virtues. He probably was rais
ed on whiskey. His distillery was not
the cow. If be had been nurtured
on the respectable and refreshing bever
age of buttermilk he would have had
better manners. Instead of an insult
He paid our member a compliment
Judicial Districts.
A bill districting tho State into
Judicial districts was re|x>rted from
the House Committee at Harrisburg
last week. Bjr its provisions Butler
county is made a district, but the
county of Lawrence is attached. So
far aw the making our county a dis
trict is concerned, that is all right
Voder the law we arc in position to
4emnud that. But why attach
Lawrence? Beaver county has not
even the required population for a
district, yet is contiuued as a separate
district. Lawrence and Beaver natu
rally and geographically join (or a dis
triet, ami should V united. Any other
arrangement would look like a clear
violation of the Constitution. Gov.
lloyt v.ry clear in his veto
two years ago. Hut the objection we
hare to Lawrence l»eing attached is
the great amount »of business that
w.mill tie thrown upon one Judge.
Butler county, we venture to say, has
m >re legal business than Beaver and
Lawrence combined. Yet Beaver is
alone wah a Judge, and Lawrence is
attached to Butler. Under this bill
the assistant law Judge, as now ex
isting, is abolished or not allowed
The associate Judges would also be
abolished in tLis county So that
with but one law Judge to do the
work of both Lawreuce aud Butler a
harder task would be imposed than
ought to be. The Beaver Judge would
not have haif the work of the Butler
Judge. \\ e are on good terms with

THE BUTLER POST OFFICE.
Who Should be Appointed?
Or Elected? A Plain State
ment of Facts.
MESSRS. EDITORS :—A few words
and a plain statement of facts regard
ing the succession to the post office
here would seem to be proper just
now. You have properly referred to
the matter heretofore, but lest anyone
mdv suppose that only a few ftel an
interest in the question, I address
you this. That there is a deep feel
ing among our citizens on the subject
all realize. For no office concerns all
of us more. Our business correspond
ence is done through it. The person
holding a post office should therefore
be one in whom all have entire confi
dence, both as to integrity and efficieu
cv. No community of its own will
and choice would select for that office
an incompetent person, or a person
whose reputation for honesty was
questioned. No more would they do
so than would a business man take into
his employ a clerk whose honesty was
questioned. The office from its nature
requires it to be occupied by one hav
ing the confidence and respect of the
public.
The term of the present official in
the office here is about expiring. She
soon will have held the office for the
usual term of four years She is an
applicant to be continued. Another
lady, Mrs. Black, is also an applicant,
and the question before us is, which of
these two is, most deserving? Which
the most competent ? Which would
give the most general satisfaction ?
And in which could all those receiving
their mails at the office repose the
greater confidence ?
It is no* necessary in this connection
to say anything personally as to the
young lady, Aiiss Robinson, in whoso
name the office is now held. No one
desires to say anything personally
about her. She wus but a young gi:l
when appointed, and may be said to
be so yet. No disinterested citizen
ever thought of her at the time for the
office. There were then, and are now,
perhaps a hundred young ladies in the
town equally as worthy and compe
tent as her. Her appointment came
about solely through her father. He
was the real applicant then, and is so
now. Why he did not get the office
in his own name was well understood
at Uie time. He holds nothing in his
own name, all property he Lad being
out of his Dame. Whether this was
to ward off creditors he had we need
not now discuss. At the time of the
appointment of his daughter, four
years the prominent applicants
for the office were Mr. Thomas B.
White and "Esquire L. P. Walker.
Their petitions were both numerously
signed. Mr. White was urged for re
appointment on the ground that hj
Lad made a most excel'ent, obliging
and faithful officer, as was indeed ad
mitted by all. But this argument bad
no effect upon Mr. Thomas Robinson
at that time, and he is now urging
his daughter solely on the ground that
she has done well and should therefore
be continued. Esquire Walker was
urged bv many on account of his per
sonal worth as a citizen, and being born
and raised among us Besides being
strongly recommended he had the sup
port of our then member in Congress,
Hon. John M. Thompson. President
Hayes appointed Esquire Walker and
sent his name to the Senate for con
firmation The Senate confirmed him.
But within three days Senator Came
ron was induced to move a reconsider
ation of the confirmation, and thus ttie
matter was opened. This was done
mainly by and through telegrams and
letters from Thomas Robinson to
Senator Cameron, making in them un
just and unfair charges against
Esquire Walker. In the meantime
letters, and I believe a small petition,
were seut on by Mr. Robinson and
some others, asking for the appointment
of his daughter. And thus the matter
stood when the 4th of March arrived,
(1879) and Mr. Thompson went out of
Congress and was succeeded by Mr.
Dick, the then newly elected member
for thisdistriet. Through Mr. Dick,
Senator Cameron and State Senator
John M. Greer, Mr. Robinson suc
ceeded in having the name of his
daughter substituted for that of
Esquire Walker, and thus she became
post mistress at this place. These
facts are well recollected by many
j here. The unfair mode taken to ac
complish this was then, and is yet.
strongly condemned. But it gave Mr.
Robinson control of the post office
here, the very last place in the world
the people of this town would have
voluntarily placed him. The forcing
bin upou us has greatly injured our
party here and in the county. He is
now simply striving to keep his hold
on that office. Like the horse leech his
cry is give, give, although he is suck
ing out the very life blood of the par
ty. With the voracity of a cormorant,
or the sticking qualities of the barna
cle, it seems impossible to satisfy him.
Office holding is a disease with him.
For twenty years, or more, he has fast
ened himself or some of his children on
offiifs either here or at Harrisburg.
He is supposed to be the man who
wrote back to Ireland to his relatives
to come over here, for it was easy to
get offices here, and that almost anybody
could get them. His present attempt
to hold on against a worthy widow
woman shows that there is no shame
in his nature. And as the present con
test for the office is truly between him
and Mrs. Black, a few facts as to her
merits should be known.
Mrs. Black is the widow of the
lamented George A. Black, Esq., a man
much respected among us when 1 iv
iojr, and whose memory is cherished
by all his comrades aud acquaintances.
A more faithful soldier did not go into
the ranks of the Union army from
Butl'-r county than was George Black.
Since bis death she mainly supports her
self, besides having the care of a step
child left her. She is the of
Mr. James T. McJunkin, who has been
in very feeble health for years past,
and who is still in very bad health.
Mrs. Black also contributes to his
care and comfort. In a word, she is
known as a good woman, being among
the foremost in our place as a worker
in every good work of benevolence,
religious or moral. She is of good ed
ucation, and her competency for the
place is admitted by all. Her appoint
ment would give very general satisfac
tion. The office would be a real benefit to
' may be a=ked, has she not been ap
pointed ?
In answer t> this question it
sboud be stated, that while the case
would seem a very plain one for our
member in congress, Mr. Miller, to
i immediately cct upon, yet the propo
sition has been made "for an e'ectun,
by the Republican voters of the bor
ough and vicinity receiving their mails
at the office, to thus decide betw.en
the two applicants. This proposition
#as made, first in the interest of bar
mony»and fair play ; and second, to re
lieve Mr. Miller from all embar
rassment and responsibility in decid
ing between them. This is thought
due to him, being comparatively unac
quainted here. Besides, this mode
of deciding post office contests is fast
growing in favor and it is believed
the time is not far distant when mem
bers in Congress will as a rule require
it of applicants. Their patience is
sorelv vex-d, and much of their time
taken up in receiving and reading pe
titions and letters for the different ap
plicants for these offices An election
in all such cases and places as this
would save them from much trouble
and annoyance, and from reflection as to
the result. It would indicate the party
will and settle all questions of claims
in a way that would be satisfactory to
all. Those roost interested having
dee ded by their deliberate votes whom
they desire for their post master or
pest mistress, on them would be the
responsibility, and from their decision
there could be no just appeal. Could
anv proposition be fairer in any case ?
We have no doubt Mr. Milltr will
look upon the matter in this light, and
coon require an expression on the sub
ject by our party friends, unless he has
or does conclude that Mrs. Black s
claims are of such strength and nature
that it is his duty to have her appoint
ed. He has made a good record
with the soldiers and their friends in
this county and he will not likely now
want to do anything that will de
stroy it. .
If is believed that Senator Cameron
will uot iuterfere now in the matter,
but will respect the public sentiment
and the will of the Republicans of this
place.
Hoping for such a speedy settlement
of the matter as will be in accordance
with right and justice, and with the
wishes of our people, I remain one
who has been receiving a large mail at
our office for many years past and
" A BUSINESS MAN.
JUDGE AGNEW'S ANSWER.
He Explains the Amendment
Alteration.
Special to the Commercial Gazette.
HARRISBURU, Feb. 10.—A printed
letter from Judge Agnewto Hon. John
Stewart, Chairman of the Committee
on Constitutional Reform, was distri
buted among the members of the
islature to day. It opens with a state
ment that the letters from Harrisburg
published in Pittsburgh with reference
to the alteration in the form of the
amendmeut arc "an effort of the ene
mies of prohibition to divide its friends
and cast on them the odium of defeat in
the Assembly, a defeat they design to
secure through obnoxious amendments.
I shall uot be betrayed into controversy
by answering them. But it is due to
the cause, to the Assembly, and to my
self to set the subject fairly before the
committee."
Judge Aguew then recites the history
of his personal connection with the
Constitutional Amendment Associa
tion and of the expression of bis views
concerning the form of amendment to
be presented. He states that he took
no part in the meeting which prepared
the formula used in the petition, and
when it was submitted to bim by Dr.
Starr, expressed his gratification that
unprofitable disputes about form were
ended. He then says :
But perceiving certain vague terms
and defects through which the enemy
might attack it, I expressly reserved
my right to suggest to the Legislature
any modifications for its perfection in
form. Afterwards, Dr. Sturr, in a
letter of December 9, 1882, requested
of mo a form such as I would approve
I gave it, being careful to use the form
in the petitions, so as to preserve both
its language and its purpose, making
only such modifications as my ex
perience in interpretation taught me
would be necessary to guard against
unfriendly attacks. Being informed
also that the proposed amendment
should be presented on the first day of
the session, to secure its certain con
sideration, I wrote to Mr. Emery, of
New Castle, on the 11th of December,
1882, sending him a copy of the same
form, in order to secure the purpose of
the petitioners.
In all this I acted in perfect good
faith, and the intelligence of the com
mittee will enable them to sec 1 have
preserved the true intent of the peti
tioners. That your committee may
more clearly perceive this, if anything
were needed, I now state the features
of the form 1 feared the enemy might
attack. Prohibition has two adverse
forces to overcome after the adoption
of the amendment by the people, viz.,
an adverse Legislature^n framing laws
to carry out the amendment, and an ad
verse Court in its interpretation.
It will be remembered that in my ad
dress before the House I gave a history
of the past conflicts in which Assem
bly was arrayed against Assembly, and
Court against Court, whereby temper
ance legislation had always been de
feated. We must expect the same con
flicts hereafter. The recent lowa de
cision, two judges against one, over
turning a prohibition amendment is
another warning. It isobvious, there
fore, that the slightest Rap in our
amendment may lead to a similar fate.
There is a rule which every logician
and pood lawyer kuows, the maxim of
Quiotillian, cited by Blair in his i
Rhetoric, that one must write not ouly i
that he may be understood, but so that
he shall vol be mix understood. A
friend may Interpret my meaning cor
rectly even if vaguely expressed, but an
enemy will seize upon the obscurity
to defeat the intent. Now let us read
the formula in the petitions, in view of
those dangers to be guarded against. It,
begins: "The manufacture or sale, or j
keeping for sale of any alcoholic or in- |
toxicatinp liquors." A friend would j
say ''alcoholic" means any liquor con- ,
taining alcohol in any intoxicating I
quantity. But an enemy, bent on
weakening the prohibition, would say,
"The course of legislation in I'enusyl- j
vania has always distinguished 'al
coholic' from other intoxicants, defining
them as spirituous, malt arid fermented
liquors " This is also the common un- j
demanding, and coupled with the rule
that a c'otistituthju is to bo iDtttrpVetbfl '
by the common nieanimr of terms, it is
evident that "alcoholic" was used to
desiguate sj>irifs. The temperance ad
vocate woaid answer, "But this is fol
lowed bv the term 'intoxicating,' which
extends the meaning.'' "No." says the
liquor men, "this is contrary to the
well known rule of interpretation
adopted by the courts, that when a
general term follows one that is specific
it must be restrained to things ejusdem
generis, that is, things of the same
nature, and therefore the term 'intoxi
cating' can not be extended beyond
'spirits' or 'alcoholic,' to other liquors
of a different kind. Besides'' he says,
"the word 'intoxicating' is used as an
alternative only of 'alcoholic,' as seen
in the very form of the sentence which
uses 'or' and not 'and,' "
After pursuing this liae of argument
somewhat further Judge /gnew de
clare.-: "Now the whole controversy
is eliminated from the form by simply
dropping the word 'alcoholic' in one
place and adding "vinous' in another.
The general term 'intoxicating liquor'
then prohibits all such liquors and all
doubt is removed as to wine by
'vinous.'" He then proceeds to the
second branch of the subject as follows :
But there is a more serious objec
tion, a defect in the form. Two things
must be provided for: Ist, the unlaw
ful manufactu r e and sale for beverage.
2d, the lawful manufacture and sale
for other purposes. Now the drafts
man of the form in the petitions puts
the subject of lawful making and sale
right into the belly of the unlawful
subject in these words: "But the man
ufacture and sale of such liquors or
compounds thereof for purposes other
than a beverage shall be regulated by
law." Now, while this may be under
stood, a clearer mode, the purpose be
ing essentially different, was to carry
the unlawful out into a new sectiou.
This would keep the purpose of each
distinct and better defijed. But this
is not the serious defect referred to.
The regulation of the lawful business
is a most important feature, and if
not properly guarded will lead to
fraud and a pa. t : al defeat of the main
prohibition by the manufacturer or the
seller, and also will lead to a failure of
proper legislation if the Legirlature is ,
adverse. As the form stands in the
petition it provides only for penalties.
But penalties depend on prosecution,
and this the manufacturer or vendor
may avoid in many ways. Every
judge who ha 3 presided in the Quarter
Sessions knows the difficulty of con
viction. The Commonwealth must re
sort to the ranks of the customers for
testimony, and they dodge or disobey
process, and when caught prevaricate.
Hence it is important to have a clause
in the amendment which will guard
against evasion. This is done by
adding the word "securities" after
"penalties." The Legislature will
then be bound to provide a bond or
other instrument, and sureties to be
given by the manufacturer and dealer
to obey the regulations provided by
law for bis business, and prevent him
from using his privilege in fraud of the
amendment. Had this gap been left
open, and many escaped, on my head
would the first shower of wrath from
prohibition skies fall, as one whose ex
perience ought to have guarded better
its fortress.
In reference to the word "vinous,"
dwelt upon by mischief makers, I
have this to say: If the word "ferment
ed" was intended to include w ies, as
It ought, the word "vinous" does no
harm and only tnakea It plainer. If
this word was not intended to include
wines, then the liquor advocate is
right in his interpretation, and wines,
etc , are not prohibited.
The use of "vinous" does not ef
fect the sacrament. The prohibition
is against wines as a beverage, the
same as other liquors, and therefore
cannot be applied to the holy cere
mony of the Eucharist. No Court in
Christendom would support an indict
ment or a penalty for the sale of wine
to be used as an element typifying
the blood of Christ in that sacred
ceremonial.
The letter closes by repeating the
opinion expressed by Judge Agnew in
his address of May, 1882, that at this
time the form of the amendment is hot
of so much consequence as the union of
temperance men to secure a majority
of the Legislature and a favorable con
sideration of the amendment.
Denouncing it.
The Democrats of this place at their
nominating Convention last Saturday
evening, passed strong resolutions
Bgaiust the passage of the bill reported
in the House at Ilarrisburg last Fri
day, dividing the State into Judicial
districts. This bill continues this
county with Lawrence county as a dis
trict, 01 rather attaches Lawrence to
Butler, and is the same referred to in
another place. The Democrats cer
tainly cannot censure the Republicans
of the House for this action. The
House is Democratic and the Com
mittee reporting the bill is Democratic.
Mr. Donly, the Republican member
from this county, cannot be censured,
for he had nothing to do in the matter.
The Democrats must therefore confine
their censure to their own member and
party in this matter.
Killed by an Amendment.
Uncle Jake Ziegler had his hopes of
fame from the railroad special law
rudely blasts in tbe House this morn
ing. The reform measure of the
statesmen from Butler provided that
the railroads should enclose thefr track
with suitable fences and made them
liable for all injury to stock that neglect
to do this might occasion. The Dem
ocrats were in a quandary as to how
the elephant should l>e disposed of,
when Jamison, of Berks, slipped in an
amendment that requires fences only
jat road crossings. The House adopt
ed it and then proceeded to other busi
ness.— Harrisburg Telejraj. h, Feb 15.
The above would seem to require
some explanation on the part of "Un
( cle Juke." Why he let that amend
ment pass without a protest seems
strange. It clearly defeats the object
iof the bill. Fencing railroads has
| been compelled in other States and
should be in this. The man that tears
j down anything should be the one
made to put it up again. This prin
ciple rues through everything else. If
a person lays dowu or opens tbe en
closure of another he must leave things
as ho found them. It in no answer to
say, that damages can be recovered
from the railroad and fence making in
a part of tbefce (lataafrefe. A pfereda'B
I property and stock may suffer and be
destroyed Ix'fore these damages can I e
recovered Besides, many aman t or
woman, may not he able to immedi
ately make all fences required by rai -
roads passing through their farms or
lots. We hope that amendment will
be taken off and the bill yet passed.

ber of the United Presbyterian Church. When a
young man he made a public profession of h s
fajth in Christ in connection with the U. P,
Church of Butler, then under the pastoral care of
Rev. Isaiah Niblock. Of this congregation he
continued a member until the organization of the
U. P. congregation of Holvoke in 1874. of which
he becani<» a member, and Iti its fellowship con
tinued till his death. As a man he was upright
and honorable in his conduct and dealings. As a
member of the church consistent endeavoring to
"walk worthy of the vocation wherewith he was
called." By nls life he gave evidence of true dis
clpleshlp and his latter end was peace. "Blessed
are the dead that die in the Lord,''
