BUTLEj^CITIZEN^ JOHN H. 4 W. C. HE6LEY, PROP RS. Entered at the Postoffice at Butler as second-clcsss matter. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 'B3. TBI prospects for a good w heat crop the coming season are said to be very promising. ARMSTRONG, Butler, Bearer, Mercer, Yenango and Warren counties were formed 83 years ago. SUBSCRIBERS who do not receive their paper regular will confer a favor by reporting the same to us. SEVERAL communications and some other matters have to be omitted this week for want of space to insert them. TOWNSHIP Supervisors who neglect to have the finger posts at the neces sary places are liable to a penalty of $lO for each neglect HON. S. H. MILLER, of Mercer, is in town attending Court this week as one of the counsel in the case against 'Squire John Smith. A bill has passed the House at Har risburg making a copy of bank books evidence, the same as the book itself, where bankers are not parties to a suit W. J. WELSH, ESQ , who studied ]aw Jin the office of W. D. Brandon, Esq., was admitted on the 11th inst., to the practice of the law in the several Courts of this county. GOVERNOR PATTISON has decided to sign the bill increasing the pensions of the veterans of the war of 1812 from $75 to $l2O per year, and repealing the provision that pensioners must be in destitute circumstances. ANOTHER week of Court commenced on Monday, Judge Bredin presiding, with Associates Weir and McCandless present The first case taken up was that of the Commonwealth against John Smith, Esq., of Cherry twp., in dicted for perjury. This case is still on trial as we go to press. Wi are glad to learn that Mr. Donly's Railroad fencing bill passed in the House last week by a vote of 131 for to 14 against it This looks as if we would yet have a law in this county requiring railroads to fence their tracks. The bill will now go to the Senate. Tut Philadelphia Record thinks that as Garfield received 444,704 votes in this Slate, and Hancock 407,438, that 15 Republican congressional dis tricts and 13 Democratic ones would be about fair, and calls on the fair men in the Legislature to rise up irrespec tive of party prejudice, and make them. THE Star Route trials drag their slow length along, the evidence being better and stronger for the govern ment, and justice and right. Brady and Kellogg have both been indicted for receiving bribes and conspiring to defraud the government. Justice with leaden heel will yet overtake the Star Route planderers. THERE are now sixty persons em ployed in counting the cash in the U. S. Treasury preparatory to turning over the money bags, from the old Treasurer to the new one. It will re quire over three weeks' time of these experts to finish the count After more than a weeks' counting, a discrep ancy of but one cent has been discov ered. Such accuracy is remarkable. THE wrong spelling of the word dis cretion betrayed the authorship of a communication in a paper of this place recently. In the communication, signed "Glade Mills," the word discre. tion is spelled "discression." That is the same way it was twice spelled in an editorial in the same paper of the week before. Hence the author was known, and be does not live at "Glade Mills." . THE anti-free pass bill, says the Harrinburg Telegraph, had an airing in the House yesterday. The Consti tution prohibits the granting of free passes, bnt the roads have granted them, and too many members of the Legislature ride on them for the suc cess of legislation to enforce the con stitutional prohibition. The Members generally are more prompt to use a free pass than to pass an anti-free pass bill. Gov. PATTISON has issued a procla mation declaring the charter of thjse corporations and companies which have failed to make their returns to the Auditor General within three years, as the law directs, forfeited. The list includes over seven hundred corporations, and the Governor's action will surprise and carry consternation to many stockholders who have money itvestod in these delinquent compa nies. IN attempting to apportion the State into Senatorial districts in accordance with the minute requirements of the of tbe State Constitution, our legisla tors encountered an arithmetical diffi culty- By tbe Constitution there must be "fifty Senatorial districts of com pact and contiguous territory," and it specifies tbe ratio of representation, tbe disposition of a one-half,three-fifths, and four-fifth fractional ratio in any county, prohibits the division of any county unless it is entitled to two or more Senators, etc. The result is that only forty-nine Constitutional districts can possibly be formed. The Repub licans baring discovered this are dis posed to leave tbe responsibility of tbe apportionment with tbe Democrats, as tbe latter are in a majority. Bat the difficulty will likely yet be solved. THE Legislature of Connecticut has before it a free pass bill which appears more feasible and practicable than any of the similar bills in other States. It not only prohibits railroads from issuing free passes to members of the legislature and State officers, but pro vides also that their expenses while traveling on official business shall be defrayed by the State, and abolishes all mileage allowances. ONE hundred legislative days have passed and only twelve bills have l>een passed by the Legislature, five of which have been vetoed. In the fifty days to come the members receive ten dol lars per day, and in this time all the important legislation is to be done. Free pass riding upon railroads has had much to do with this state of affairs. If the whole time of the members had been given to their duties the business would likely be further advanced. THE new Postmaster General, Judge Gresham, appears to be a man of a good deal of common sense, and a will of his own. The Pennsylvania Rail road company proposed to haul him to Washington in a special car. He not only refused to ride in it, but stated that he would not go East unless he could be allowed to travel like a com mon man. He paid his fare, tookhis seat among the other passengers and went through to Washington like other peo ple. _____ MR. ALFRED G. ZIEGLER, of the Herald has our thanks for a transcrib ed copv of the article of Rev. Bassler on the Indian Mohawk, and which was sent him by Mrs. E. R. Marshall of Parker. It appears as the introduc tory part, called the "conversion," in the confession of Mohawk, and as found upon the first page of the CITI ZEN this week It supplied a want and was of use to us, from the fact that the only printed copy we had of that article was so torn as to make some parts lost or obscure. OUB calliDg attention to the bill that has passed through the State Senate, prohibiting railroad companies in this State from granting free passes to other than their officers, seems to have annoyed the Eagle. Mr. Greer, our Senator, voted against the passage of the bill and we made known to his constituents that simple fact, as was our duty to do, as he is a public officer. After admitting last week that we were silent as to Mr. Greer's legislative acts for "three months" past, it complains that we are now "pursuing" him in the free pass matter. It is natural that Mr. Uobinson should come to the defence of free passes. He has enjoyed them ever aioce he was in the Legislature, upwards of twenty years, right straight along. At a mod erate calculation of only three trips taken east in a jear, and at S2O saved in a trip, we hare the snug little sum saved him in the past twenty years of $1203. Of Mr. Greer, as a present member, and in fact of most of tba members, it may safely be said that during a session of twenty weeks they visit home nearly once a week. Fare from here to Harrisburg and back is about s2o,and twenty weeks multiplied by S2O makes s4oo,in one session alone, that a Senator or member from this county saves by the use of a free pass. The five sessions we believe that Mr. Greer has now been at Harrisburg would, therefore, foot up to the sum of $2,000 saved by free passes. [Jut of all this the people would not, perhaps, have complained, if it were not for the loss of time, from their duties, by the members. The free pass system is an inducement to travel. Travel takes from the time and the at tention of the members; the consequence is the prolonging the term of the session, just as we see it now. It is, therefore, a matter in the interest of the taxpayers of the Slate to prohibit this free pass custom. But the Eagle makes a sad blunder when it says that it was just as bad for a member in the Legislature twenty years ago to accept a free pass as it js now. It forgets that there was no Constitutional provision against the granting of free passes then. Now there is. We refer it to the new Con stitution of 1874, Art. 17, Sec. 8, which says, "No railroad, etc., shall grant free passes, etc., except to officers or employees of the company." This was never enforced, and that is the ob ject of the bill that has just passed Lbe Senate, almost in the exact words of the Constitution, and against which Mr. Greer voted. The object is to en force the Constitution by a law. llow a member could vote against that is difficult to understand. However it might have been before, now it is directly in the face of the Constitution to issue to members free passes and a serious question is, is it not as wrong to accept them as to grant them ? Hut the Eagle thinks "that a man must l>e made of weak material who would lie influenced by them " That may be. But experience shows us that there have been and are a great many men "made of weak material." Some of thein get into the Legislature, and the State loses by the loss of their time and services in the use of free passes. Whether this loss of services to the State can really apply to our jolly and good natured Senator might admit of a question, it is true. It may lie the State loses nothing by the loss of his services and time. Ilut never theless that is no reason why the com mon Constitution, over and binding on us all, should not to raepected and en forced. THE LEGISLATIVE. THE CONSTITUTIONAL PRO HIBITION BILL. Lawrence County Made a Sepa rate Judicial District, But the Vote Reconsidered in the House. OTHER PROCEEDINGS. HARRISBURO, April 7.—There were onlv ninety-five members of the House present this morning, and although this was less than a quorum, twenty five bills were passed on first reading. Then the House adjourned, by almost unanimous consent, at 11 o'clock, one hour before the regular time. Had the session continued until noon all the re maining bills on first reading might have been read. The first-reading cal endar can be finished on Monday even ing, if the members do not have their usual original resolution circus. THE PROHIBITION BILL. An unusually large number of re monstrances against the passage of the Prohibition bill were presented, nearly one half of the members present offer ing one or more such documents. The petitions for its passage were compara tively few to-day, although heretofore they have generally had the preponder ance. Lee Thompson, of Armstrong county, called the attention of the House to a remonstrance which had been presented, through him ( against the bill several days ago. He had noticed at the time that all the names appeared to have been written by one hand and since then he had received a letter from President Judge James B. Neil, whose name was affixed to the remonstrance, declaring that the signa ture was a forgery. IlAaiusßiiui, April 11.—'The pro hibitory amendment came up in the House this morning on second reading and consumed almost the entire day. The fight was started by Hughes, of Bedford, who moved to strike off the proviso that was inserted in committee that all persons engaged in the liouor business should be compensated for the loss sustained. Mr. Emery, of Law rence county, made a long speech in favor of the motion. He claimed that the rider was put on with the manifest intention of killing the amendment. The people do pot desire it; they did not ask for any such prcyiso in their petitions; they wanted the (jueatiqo of prohibition submitted by itself without any side issues. George H. Morgan, of Philadelphia, thought that prohibi tion would be attended with disastrous results to the business interests of the State, and pictured iu graphic language the inconvenience to the Quaker City people, who would have to f/C ferried over to Jersey for their stimulants. Hays, of Erie, said that the question before the House was not whetnor pro hibition was right or wrong, or wheth er it was good policy or not, but wheth er it should be submitted to a vote of the people. He thought that a suffi cient number bad asked for it to war rant the Legislature in allowing them to express their preferences at the polls, and declared thei jn his opinion the House would make a iniaUif ;f it dis regarded their wishes. He was op posed to the compensation proposed. Mr, Stubbs, of Chester, argued that it wa§ entirely unnecessary and super fluous to atiaeb Io the amendment a proviso for compensation. Iftj wanted the question to be submitted ito fitfi people in its original form. Sharpe, of Franklin, in one of his ablest speeches argued that unless compensation is provided for in the amendment it will i)Qt be in the power of any future Legislature repair the loss that the bill may occasion- "The Constitution provides," said be, "Cor the payment of damages when proper ty iB seized by the State for public pur poses, but the destruction of the liquor business by a prohibitory amendment dogs not come under that provision. There is no provision in the Constitu tion that would on the other hand there [s fr positive prohibition that would prevent ajl leg islation for the payment of losses, which are contemplated in this amendment. The gentlemen who advocate striking out this proviso, therefore, make a stupendous blunder when they say that it is superfluous and that all that is necessary is future legislation. Tl je Government of the United States nev<»# could have abolished tlavery without compensation to the owners of the slaves if they bad not raised their hands against the (Jovern't)ent and for feited their rights. The idea of this amendment without compensation is wholly repugnant to all ideas of right and justice, if you must have prohi bition pay for it. That would be fair ; that would be Statesmanlike; that would be Chrietianlike." WHAT MAY BE DONE. Mr. l/owry, of Indiana—l want to ask the gentlftWan jf he means to say that the State cannot cnaet lf)p jimeud without the compensation clause. Mr. Sharpe— ()t course you can. You can confiscate a man's property within the Constitution if you want to. The question waa further discussed by Mitchell, of Bradford, Morrison, of Mercer, Parcel.-*, of Mifflin, Hughua, of Bedford, und Lowry, of ludiana, all of whom favored the repeal of the corn peuuatloo clause, Mr. Lowry claiming that the liquor Irajf; |iad had sufficient notice of what was eouilag f.y provide against loss. McNamara, of liedfcr/J, took up the rest of the morning. He argued that it would bejiiataa fair and right for the Legislature to prohibit the Bible because it furnishes food for infidels as to abolish the manufacture of liquor. He claimed that a prohibi tory law could not be inforced, and that its only result would be to en courage cant miii hypocrisy. He thought that the men who i.aj'2 re monstrated againsi the petition should be considered as well us the petitioners for it. HARRISBURO, April I-3.—After bour'd hard fighting this morning Lawrence county g.iincd un important point in the House unci succeeded in obtain in if -ecognilion of her claim to be a separate judicial district. The judipig) apportionment bill came up at 11 o'clock a* a order, and Mor rison, of Lawrence, los-t no iu.jn in posirig an amendment to the clause which joins Lawrence to Reaver, mak ing Lawrence I y itself tbe Thirty eighth district He said that if she were fi<H Jo the requirement of 40,- 000 population census, her ifuins since exceeded the IfinH, the rapid development of her industries has increased the law business so much that a separate Judge was necessary to attend to it economically. Sharpe made u strong speech against the amendment. He said that the House could accept no other standard of pop ulation than the last census and argued that the proposed change would make the bill unconstitutional. Brown, of Erie, insisted that the Constitution leaves it discrctioaary with the Legislature whether a county with less than the requisite population should constitute a separate district He thought that the business of the county and the preferences of the peo ple ought to be taken into considera tion. Sterrett, of McKean, thought that the only safe road to travel was to obey the Constitution to the letter and give no county a judge without the full requirement of population. Hulings, Ziegler and McCabe took the floor in succession to demonstrate that there was nothing in the Consti tution to prevent Lawrence from hav ing a judge of her own, and Colborn spoke for half an hour in a vain effort to show that the amendmeut should not be carried. A vote was taken and on a call of the ayes and nays Law rence was made the Thirty-eighth dis trict by a majority of 2 The ayes were 80, the nays 78. ANOTIIEH AMENDMENT was made by Tubbs that Potter and Cameron should be joined with Tioga, as they are at present, and not with Clinton, as the bill proposes. Merrey, of Clinton, protested against this on the ground that it would disarrange the entire bill. A long discussion fol lowed which was cut short by the hour of adjournment. The only other subject considered at the morning session was the prohibi tory amendment, which came up on the" question of the amendment propos ed by Hughes, of Bedford, yesterday, that the "compensation clause" should he stricken out. McNamara finished the speech which he began yesterday. Ormsby, a Democratic veteran from Mercer, who speaks rarely but always well, took strong ground in favor of the amendment, arguing that prohibition is morally right; that the best interests of the people demand it; that instead of injuring if. jyould benefit the in dustrial interests &f the and that the people who have asked for it ought not to be disregarded. He thought that the Legislature *rould uot be doing its duty if it failed to give the people an opportunity of expressing their preferences. Brosius, of Lan caster, spoke in somewhat the same strain, and (jfrpeflj of Berks, was in the midst of a speech sgi'os£ tfc# <ss - amendment when be was cut short by calls lor the order of the day, which was the judicial apportion ment bill. Jlahbisbuik!, April 13.—8y a turn of tjjc ti4fi Jjayyreuce county lost all that she gained yesterday jn the House, end once more f»gure3 in t»e Judicial Apportionment bill as an ad junct to Beaver. When Morrison suc ceeded yesterday in making a separate district of Lis county by a majority of two, some of tbe old heads among the Reform Democrats oscillated their polls and sagely observed to one an other that this would have to be re £Oj}£i<?ered or it would "open up tbe whole' qiiesUob frustrate all their well laid plan* ToV The motion to reconsider was made by Major Walker, of Erie Mr. Morrlsou made a strong protest against it, re peating his arguments of yesterday to sbojy /jonnty was eutitled to a separate Judge, Ou of its grow ing population and the rapid i of its court business.

Burchfleld, of IJlajr, ne*t ipade an attempt to have a separata district made of Huntingdon and Miffla, and Mr. Myton, of the former county, wanted Huntingdon joined with Ful ton, but neither succeeded.

The discussion was resumed in the e&tnipon and numerous attempts were made to other changes in the districts every one of encounter ed the opposition of nearly all tlie l«euir ocratic majority, and were defeated. The bill passed.second reading principal ly by Democratic votes. There is a great (leal of dissatisfaction o*rer the result, and it is possible that the bill wiii fail to secure the necessary majority unleua further changes are made. The Mohawk Case. When we started T/'!t an ' a * quiry for a certain paper or article eou nectcd with this case we bad no idea at p»inihg any portion of it. But we Boon found that many in tbe county took an interest in it and had a gn;at desire to know something more about tho case itself. Although it is not forty yutira until the first of July next since the cruel ItWlifl# pf a mother and five children took place In ttn» coi,i;t; r . yet there are but few living who remember all the circumstances. To what may Im the present generation of our county it is all new fir history. To them, what appears upon the l?rst pijge of our paper this week will therefore read like a romaueo. This Indian massacre was the last that took place in the State of Pennsylvania, and al though Mohawk was what was termed h civilized aud friendly Indian, and be longed to i, ffsjn can* of that people called civilized, some of whom yej, jp-- main in tho upper part of this State, yet his horrid deed had in it all the uliaraotoristiusj of the former savage butcheries by the Indian*. It willed then and recalls now the killing ol white people in the earlier periods of our ecuutry by the Indians as savages. It is true the defence of irftanity was Mlt'lp for Mohawk, and many believed him to be (:ra*y, o» Jifj.qj:ii:£ -inder delirium trrnwn * from siroug urinj;- and he may have ho been, yet the man ner of the slaughter of the Wigton family showed much of the old mode of warfare and revenge. It is! hard for many to Ixdieve that such a I crime happened in this county as late ' as the year 1843. Mohawk, as far as we can learn, was about the last In dian ever seen in the county. Having received a number of re quests, from different parts of the county, to publish all we could about the case, we have done so, and have ! now given all except the evidence in de- J tail as taken down at the trial of the case' j The Opening Exercises of Pros pect Academy. "PROSPECT, PA., April 16, 1883. EDS. CITIZEN • —Allow me the pleas ure of announcing to the public through the columns of your paper the proceed ings of the dedication of the Prospect Academy, which took place on the Hth of April. This occasion was looked forward to with the greatest of enthu siasm by all those who were interested in the founding of this institution of learning, and we are highly gratified to know that their anticipations were fulfilled to the uttermost. Notwith standing the disagreeable condition in which the roads were at the time the Academy building was filled to over flowing with the good people of Pros pect and vicinity. They came in the morning and they came at noon, and when the hour had arrived at which the exercises were to begin, upwards of four hundred people had assembled in and about the Academy. The first performance on the pro gramme was music by the Prospect Cornet Band and as we opened with music,closed with music, and had music in the interim, I will only say that this in itself spoke in living aecents to the thinking mind that the people of Pros pect possess not only the most refined intellectual talent, but that there exist apjong them germs of that most highly appreciated fqcijlty—the faculty for music. After the singing of "To Deu.n Laudamus," by chorus of thirty voices, Mr. James Wilson, President of the Board of Trustees, made quite a lengthy and very appropriate address, liev. Young then conducted the devotional exercises, after which the teachers of the Academy, Miss Mary Martin, Mr. J. C. Ricketts and Mr. Crowe, were to the audience by C. C. Sullivan, Aftpp tb.e sipgißg of a very beautiful "Quartette" entitled, "Come Holy Spirit," the principal address of the day was delivered by the Rev. James A. Clark, of Prospect. The Rev. gentleman dwelt at some length upon the necessity and advantages of an education. He showed that educa propjerjy applied meant not only the Uevelopn+ent of thp'ftepta) o;: intel lectual faculties, Jjut also the develop ment of the physical constitution. "Scientifically aud correctly speaking," said he, education is the symmetrical development of t-.1l the powers of man. The next performance was a cornet (Sftlo j;/ . Foehringer and J. F.
