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

of its court business. N took
the trouble to reply. The Democrat),

COjLINT).
Col. 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. Mr. Col
jipi, of Sullivan, then moved to make
a aepaftyt tfiatfict of Sullivan and Wy
oming, and afte*' a ivn discus
sion the House ogreea tp it' by f
vote of 04 to. Id Pending further
discussion of the bill the liour of ttd.-
journment arrived.
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

"Scientifically aud correctly speaking,"
said he, education is the symmetrical
