BUTLER CITIZEN JOHN H. It W. C. NEGIEV, PROP'RS, Entered at the Postojfice at Butler second-clesss matter. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13, 1883. Republican County Ticket. For District Attorney. SAMUEL B. SNYDER, of Butler. FOP County Snryeyor, B. F. HILLIARD, of Washington twp. THE Republicans of Lawrence Co., at their late primaries nominated Mr. W. F. Leathers, of narlensburg, for Register and Recorder and Dr. J. K. Pollock for Coroner. DR. JEFFERS, President of Westmin ster College, at New Wilmington, Lawrence Co., Pa., is about to resign that position, on account of some trouble in the College. MRS. R. LAWRENCE, of Mercer Co., and living near Grove City, died on June 5, 1883, aged 55 years. She was the mother of Mr. Everett Lawrence, formerly connected with this office. THE McKean County Miner, Smeth port, Pa., comes to us enlarged to nine columns and much improved in appear ance. We cheerfully place the Miner on our exchange list and wish it every success. REV. W. O. CAMPBELL, of Monon gahela city, is at present on a visit to his father, Mr. James Campbell, and other relatives here. Rev. C. is al ways a welcomed visitor back to his old honlfe here. THE Legislature adjourned on the 6th, inst., convened again on the 7th, inst., in pursuance of the call of the Goveanor, and then took a recess un till the 19th, inst., when it will re-as semble to act on the matter of re-dis tricting the State. COURT is in session this week for the trial of criminal cases, Judge Bredin presiding and Associates McCandless and Weir present. A number of cases have been disposed of and it is expected this week's work will clear up the session's docket pretty well. WE had hoped to have seen our member of the House, Mr. Donly, at home during the present recess of the Legislature. But he seems disposed to stand to his post and stick it out to the end, recess or no recess. His fidel ity to duty must be commended by all. THE Hon. William G. Rose, who has just been nominated by the Re publicans of Ohio as their candidate for Leiutenant Governor, was born and raised in Mercer county, this State, and represented that county in tho Legislatures of 1858 and 1859. He removed to and has been living in Cleveland, Ohio, for some years, and his old friends are much gratified to learn of his success politically and otherwise. He was well known to the writer of this and others ot this coun. ty, who join in sending their congratu lations. The Apportionments. If the Legislature? when it reas sembles next Tuesday, gets down to work in the right spirit it should not be in session over a week. No other bills or measures than the Apportion ment ones can come before it at this extra session. The Constitution con fines its action in such cases to the ob jects of legislation designated by the Governor in his proclamation. By his call it will be seen he names the Ap portionment bills only for its action. That these bills were not passed at the regular session, lasting over five months, is a matter to be regretted. But the great amount of other business, and number of other bills, may be pleaded in excuse for the failure of pass ing the Apportionment bills, districting the State as it should be into Judicial, Congressional, Senatorial and Repre sentative districts. The Constitution requires this to be done anew after every census of the people, and if not done now it is difficult to see xchen it would be done. By reassembling the Legislature now, immediately upon its adjournment, much expense will be saved to the people, as the machinery of the body is now in running order and the members can go to work im mediately upon the matter for which they are specially called to act. They will not be disturbed by other questions and having the districting ones alone before them a speedy conclusion should soon be reached. No party can gain an unfair advantage over the other, and natural districts must be agreed upon. We have never known anything to be gained by any party in making unfair district?. It, on the contrary, has generally been to the loss of the party so uoing. The public sense of right demands fair plcy, as near as can be, in this matter, and no party has ever been benefitted in the end by what is known as a (jerrymander of the State. The Constitution requires all districts to be formed of "compact and ous territory" as uear as may be. With this law plainly before them we think there will be found enough of honest and fair men in the Legislature to obey the law and do what they are plainly commanded to do. The Governor per formed a plain duty in holding the members to a performance of a consti tutional obligation, to redistrict the State at the present time. The New Laws. The following are among the acts passed at the late session of the leg islature, some of which have l>eep ap proved by the Governor and some re maining in his hands: An act requiring the surplas money of the State to be invested in State or United States bonds. This will take the money that has yearly been laying idle in banks, without drawing interest, and put it where it will draw interest and aid in reducing the State indebt edness. The bill prohibiting assessments upon candidates or office holders, by party committees for political purposes, passed both Houses finally and has been signed. The old Penitentiary grounds of Allegheny City were given that city for park purposes. A bill abolishing the contract sys tem of labor in the State prisons pass ed finally. Also one paying miners for coal cleaned by them. One providing for gauging oil carried by pipe lines. One preventing the polluting of navi gable streams. One for paying dis charged workmen. One preventing the sale of theater, etc., tickets upon the streets. One preventing the con solidation of pipe lines. One making the law against lotteries more string ent. A bill repealing the tramp actoflßG7 passed. One providing that no exemption of property from levy or sale upon execution shall be allowed upon judgments for SSO or less obtained for wages of man uel labor. One making 76 pounds a bushel of bituminous coal and 2000 pounds net a ton of same. One requiring township assessors to assess all lands in the county in which the mansion house is situated, where county lines divide said lands. One authorizing Courts of Quarter Sessions to change the limits of any incorporated borough. One providing that in boroughs that are divided by wards each ward shall elect the same number of school direc tors and none shall be elected at large. One that where telegraph, etc., wires extend over buildings or lands no lapse of time shall give or justify any perpetual right to such attachment or extension. One requiring school boards to es tablish free evening schools upon the petition of parents of twenty pupils, to keep open at least for four months, unless the average daily attendance falls below fifteen for one month. One allowing the extermination of the English sparrow at any time by any person. One making CO pounds the standard weight of a bushel of potatoes. One abolishing the office of sealer of weights and measures throughout the State. One amending the act to prevent cruelty to animals, authorizing any constable or officer to make arrests upon view and institute proceedings etc., for punishment. One requiring the owners of hotels; factories, etc., and the directors of pub" lie schools, to have fastened to the in side of six window heads on the third and each additional story, a chain ten feet in length, to which a rope an inch in diameter shall be attached of suffi cient length to reach the ground We will give other laws passed at the late Legislature as the same come to our notice. The Legislature Goes Home. The Legislative gripsack will not be unpacked, after all. The two houses met yesterday in extraordinary session, in obedience to the proclamation of Governor Pattison, and after the intro duction of apportionment bills in both houses, adjourned for twelve days, to meet again on the evening of June 19. Efforts were made in both bouses to get even with the Governor for having convened the body during the hot weather by an adjournment till next winter. These efforts, fortunately for the credit of the Legislature and the pockets of the tax-payers, failed of suc cess. In view of the fact that the members from the distant country districts havo been necessarily absent from home al most continuously during a long session the public will look with some leniency upon their desire to get home for a few days to attend to necessary private business, but the public will not en dure the arrangement by which each member and Senator proposes to draw ten dollars per day for twelve days time, in which they are attending to their own business and not the business of the State. It is probably true that the individual members and Senators could collect their pay during the recess in spite of a resolution to the contrary, but the member who does it is simply taking money for which he has render ed no equivalent in the form of service. The public will be clearly justified in holding their representatives to a strict account for their action in this matter. The people should also insist on prompt action when the Legislature meets again. There are only four measures to be considered. They have already been introduced and as they have been fought over and discussed in every possible phase the members are thoroughly familiar with them. Under the circumstances a session of from si * to ten days will giye ample time in which to pass the bills. There is no necessity of a session weeks or months in length to leaosart this special busi ness, about which tho members know as much on the first day of the session as they will if they sit all summer. The people should make themselves heard in no uncertain terms on this question during the recess.— Phila. Times. Sewing Machine attachments and repairs of all kinds, at E.

While they were throwing paper wads at each other through the early hours of this morning he wa9 writing a proclamation. They passed the revised General Appropriation bill, threw the last wad and adjourned about 4 o'clock this morning. Most of them had done up their records and packed their trunks. A few of them had paid their board bills. The page boys had secured the last honored came for their autograph albums, and the skirmishing committee of pasters and folders had taken the last man down into the cellar and asked him what he thought the Governor would do about their pro rata pay for the last fifty days. The shirt of the chap lain bulged joyfully up against his choker with the thought that he had but one more three-dollar prayer to squander on the idle and malarious winds. Although the statesmen felt that they had done their duty and so marched bravely down the hill to the morning music of the early robin. A SURPRISE TO NEARLY ALL. When the Senate and House met at 11 o'clock to-dav for what they they thought was the last time, the Gover nor sent in his proclamation calling them in extra session to-morrow. It was a complete surprise to nineteen out of twenty of them. They had made up their minds that the Gover nor would call an extra session, but they did not think he would do so now. The message is as follows; EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, ) COMMONWEALTH OF PENN'A., OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR ) HARRISBURU June 6. To the Senate and House of Repre sentatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.—Gentlemen: By virtue of the authority vested io me by the Constitution I hereby convene you in extraordinary session on Thursday, the 7th day of June, Anno Domini one thousand eight hundred and eighty three, at 12 o'clock noon of that day. ia the judgment of the Executive such an extraordinary occasion has arisen as to require the exercise of the power. The Constitution commands the General Assembly, "immediately after each United States decennial census," to apportion the State into Senatorial and Representative districts. This imperative mandate has not been obeyed. By the joint rules of your Houses the time has gone by when bills disclosing a purpose to perform this duty can be presented to me for approval. The obligation is imposed upon the Governor to "take care that tiie laws be faithfully executed." I deem it 22J duty, therefore, to exhaust my lawful authority to correct the grave default of the Legislature. Equal ly important and necessary, though not so specifically commanded by law, is the duty of the Assembly to appor tion the State into Congressional and Judicial districts. I, therefore, desig nate the apportionment of the State into Senatorial, Representative, Con gressional and Judicial districts as subjects for Legislative consideration. The right of the people to fair, just and lawful representation in the legis lative councils of the State and Union is secured by the Constitution, and must not be denied. The importance of the right cannot be overestimated. It is the essential principle of our form of government. It underlies all our political rights. It is to be jealousy guarded, carefully observed, and faith fully carried out. The time is pecu liarly fitting for the passage of bills to se cure a fair, just, equitable, and non partisan apportionment of the State. The two bouses of the Assembly are composed of majorities of different par ty affiliations. A greater degree of fairness is to be expected from such a condition of the legislative body than if it was dominated in both branches by a majority of the same party con victions. Each house will provide a check upon the other in any attempt to obtain unfair advantages. Mutual concession and a spirit of conciliation ought to result in an adjustment of the two houses and the prompt passage of bills, fair in spirit, giving just repre sentation to the people in all sections of the State In addressing ourselves to these subjects wo must keep constantly in view the guide provided in the Con stitution, directing that the legislative districts shall be "composed of com pact and contiguous territory, as near ly equal in population as may be." This is a plain and simple rule, estab lished for our guidance by tho funda mental law. To follow it in its spirit will result in just conclusions. There ought not to be any doubt of the Leg islature speedily agreeing upon the subjects designated for their considera tion. It is their duty to ag*es. further default in this matter will re sult in at least six years of the decade elapsing without the apportionment .required by law being made. To pre vent such an indefensible condition of affairs I have deemed it obligatory upon me to proclaim this cali for an extraordinary session. I l.ave selected a time for your as sembling immediately succeeding the day of adjournment of your regular session, so as not to necessitate your recall after you had dispersed to your homos In this way the expense of the session will be lessened, as the ma chinery for the conduct of the business of the Assembly is ready for use. I reluctantly couvene the Legislature at this season of the yea?. Nothing but a sense of imperative duty impells me to adopt this course. I hope, howeyer, that in a few days you will have con cindeJ your labors to the satisfaction of the people and, having dischared your constitutional duties, will be able to return again to your families and homos. ROBERT E. I'ATTISON. On reassembling on the 7th, a mes sage was received from the Governor, as follows : I have feit it to fye ra 7 duty to con vene you in this extraordinary session for the reason set forth in iny prociaua tiou yesterday, under which you now assemble. The subjects which you are to consider will be found in that com mutation sufficiently detailed to make their repetition now unnecessary, and I refer you to it for information. The Executive would again force upoe the attention of the General Assembly the parumount duty which now confronts them. That duty we are under sworn obligates promptly to perform. We cannot evad«#, aiiirfe ,or postpone it. We must meet and perform'itijov- Other- wise we place ourselves in an attitude of hostility to the Constitution of the people. We deny them their most im portant right; we continue a flagrant legislative default and occupy a posi tion in every way reprehensible, inex cusable and defiant of law. I trust to the conservative counsel and Constitu tion-loving sentiment of the Assembly for a wise and speedy termination of your labors, so that you may return at an early dav to your homes and ord - nary vocation. ROBERT E. PATTISON. Extracts from Address Delivered Before the Teachers' Asso ciation. BY GEN. JOHN N. PURVIANCE. My friends of the Teachers' Associa tion :—I have accepted an invitation kindly tendered to me to make the ad dress of welcome to the teachers of the educational institutions of the county, or rather the Teachers' Association. With a degree of reluctance more than usual I have accepted. I feel compe tent to the task as far as regards the pronouncing of words of welcome, which I do with a hearty, earnest, good will, for I feel it a pleasure per sonally to bid you a hearty welcome to the county seat of your county. * * It is our pride that no county in Pennsylvania has shared more largely in the progress of educational attain ments, proportionate to population, than the county of Butler. From the very inception of the common school system to the present day our people with great unanimity have sustained the system. They felt the need of ed ucation, and determined to promote and encourage it, especially by accepting the advantages -which the common school system afforded. And now, af ter a lapse of half a century, it is the pride and pleasure of our people to look back over the long years and contem plate the great progress that has been made and vast improvement in educa tion in all its branches; the refinement and culture,'in moral and intellectual attainments, that are the marked char acteristics of our citizens. * * * We find many of our brilliant orators and profound statesmen possess no other scholastic education except what they received from the common schools of the country. It may be noted that when, some fifty years ago, the academies were founded, t})e germ of the common school system was engrafted in all the acts in corporating them by too appropriation of land and money and providing for the education of a certain number of scholars gratis. Those who were the beneficiaries of this act scarcely cared to share its advantages, for the reason that it seemed to be a kind of pauper provision, as those only oould accept who were unable to pay for tuition. This system continued for a period of about thirty years, but with general disfavor, and left no other door open to education generally but the subscrip tion schools, and they were so poorly patronized that not one-tenth of the children derived much benefit from them. 4s a first step towards the present general system the branches provided for to be tagght ip the common schools were reading, writing antf arithmetic. This was an advance in the right direction as far as could be safely ventured upon in accord with public sentiment at that time. Only a few years elapsed, however, and the system grew into such favor that the higher branches, grammar, geography, astronomy, &c., were proyided for in tha legislative enactments. Then soon followed the public spbools and they received the fostering P&rp c( tlje law-makers, as well as higher sphopjs, where diplomas were awarded. And to give permauecy to the system so that no vandalism could successfully attack it the constitution of your State con tains the provision that the general as sembly shall provide for the main tenance and support of a thorough and efficient system of public scboojg there in all the children of this commonwealth above the age of six years may be edu cated, and shall appropriate at least one million dollars each year for that purposa, thus founding the system permanently beyond the reech of its enemies, if it has any. It la refreshing to contemplate the great advance that has been made in educational attainment?. In our own county within the memory of many we had the log cabin school house, with its clap-board roof, puncheon floor and daor, ftnd the greased paper between the openings in the unhewn logs for a window, and the wiiol? ous for a fire-place, and with teachers half edu cated in the branches they proposed to teach, and the rod always visible and in frequent use. Now in place of them we have the large, fine, airy brick or frame school houses provided with all modern improvements of ease and com* fort and teachers of certified scholarly attainments as well, qualified for their duties. In those days few of the younger msu coy|c} read and still fewer could write—even in jjoj&mon business trans actions they had to invoke the aid of a 'squire, a lawyer or clergyman to have the simplest transaction reduced to writing, and then almost invariably the mark was the only signature they wwe soluble of making. Notes, deeds, wills, agreements and other instru ments in writing were verified by the mark only. Now who can take a re trospective view of the past and the adoption of the system that you are now the worthy representatives of but must feel grateful for the benehts and blessings of a liberal education, such as is the privilege of all to enjoy ? * * J The Hessian Fly in Berks County. REAUIWM. Jjjne 7.—The Hessian fly is playing havoc with iiio grajn fields in Cumru, Berks, Heidelberg and othef townships. The Hessian fly was not in the section last summer at all. The average wheat crop in Berks last year was twentv-five bushels to the acre, but not ten bushels will be realized to the acre on any of the farms where the lly has made its appearance. No rem edy has yet been found which will thoroughly exterminate them, and they arp .considered among the very worst enemies of the farmer. The fly is worst in Cumru ana lleidelbu.'g iov/n --ships.

J OHIO REPUBLICANS. Synopsis of the Platform. COLUMBUS, 0., June 6. The Republican State Convention met again this morning at 10 o'clock in Comstock's Opera House, with Sena tor John Sherman as permanent Chair man and General Oroot, of Cleveland, Secretary. All preliminary business having been disposed of yesterday, Senator Sherman made a speech in which he said: We cannot wait for our Democratic friends to overtake us, for they always lag two years behind They acquiesce, but they do not pro pose or execute. They will find fault with what we do, but they take care to enjoy the blessings we confer. They are in love with the Union. They are opposed to slavery. They even be lieve in specie resumption, but they are opposed to protection laws and sumptuary laws. We are for laws pro tecting the labor of our people and we are for laws that will make the traffic in liquor pay the cost it entails. These are the issues ot the moment. As to the temperance question, we all ac knowledge the great and manifest evils that flow from the use and abuse of spirituous liquors. Many modes have been proposed to check the evils of intemperance, and many worthy citi zens believe the only way is by the ab solute prohibition of the manufacture and sale of spirits. Others equally sincere believe that prohibition is im practicable, that it could not be enforce ed, especially in cities and therefore want to leave the entire control of the subject to the General Assembly so that legislation might be adopted to meat the needs of different localities, and changing public opinion. These two propositions are submitted to the people Now the question is this: Ought not this traffic to be taxed to pay a portion of these expenses? This is the principle of the Scott bill. It is right. Our State Constitution pro hibits a license, but this is not a license. It is a tax. At all events, license or no license, we are in favor of a tax, and if necessary, we will change the Constitution to enable the General Assembly to devise and enforce a just system of taxation on this traffic. When the call of the candidates for Goyernor was made, Benjamin Eggle ston, of Cincinnati, stepped to the plat form, and in an eloquent speech, re viewing the character of a soldier and a jurist, placed before the convention the pame of Captain Joseph Benson Foraker, of Jlamijtop county. The nomination was immediately seconded, and then moved to be made unanimous, which wa3 done. Private Dalzell said there was only one man in Ohio for Governor and that man was John Sherman. The Sena tor replied as follows: "I am not insen sible to the wishes and desires of so many of my friends to be their nom inee, but I must say frankly and firm ly, that I cannot be your candidate, as a duty I owe to the Republicans of Ohio in the Senate, I could not surren der that, and now I thank you most warmly for the honor, but positively decline."

John means busi ness. Considering the reports already re ceived there is no doubt but that there will be a hundred or ippj'e students at Prospect Academy during the fclj ses sion. The trustees of the academy still continue to make new additions to the academy building which make it more and more attractive to both students and teachers. They are going to par iitioii cap of the larger rooms and seat the recitation rooms wiih pitppt furni ture. This will make two splenaiu ' rooms in which to recite and a chapel hall that will accommodate at least one hundred and fifty or two hundred sro dents. There is connected with the academy work at present and will con tinue to IK>, a good literary society, "Tie Longfellow," and a debating club, "The Washington." Everything necessary to make it interesting for ! students is now in good working order. . The success and prosperity of any com munity or country depends largely up on the degree up to which its people are educated. Why, then should a home institution not be patronized ? There is no reason in the world why good old Butler county cannot support as good an institution of learning as any of her sister counties. She is now one of the wealthiest in the State and if her people were so minded they could by slow degrees rear an academy or even a college in this one of her most central towns which would elevate her people, do honor to her name and cause pos terity to speak more highly the praises of her greatness. SOCRATES. Withers poon. The literary entertainment given by the students of the Witherspoon In stitute, in the Court House last Thurs day evening, is highly commended by all who witnessed the exercises. An extensive program was fully carried out and the young ladies and gentle men all performed well their parts. Where so many read, spoke, or acted parts, it would be difficult to particu larize the merits of each. Suffice to say all did well and reflected credit upon themselves, as well as upon the Institute and its able management un der the care of Profs. Bancroft and Tintsman. The program was, perhaps, a little too lengthy, as well as some of the performances, thus giving the aud ience a little too much of a good thing. The Witherspoon Is growing in popular favor and may now be rank ed as among the leading schools in Western Pennsylvania and one at which a good classical education can be obtained. Even With Ingersoll. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 7.—ln the star route trial this morning Mr* Mer rick read the record in support of the assertion that it contained nothing to show that Rerdell had charged the "J. B. J?." checjt to the mail account by Dorsey's direction. It was due to Judge Belford to say thatthore was no testimony in or out of this case that in any way implicated or involved hiin in the star route matter. Judge Belford was a most honorable gentleman, hav ing a high position in public life, and as current rumors might be calculated to do him some damage he (Mr. Merrick) made these remarks in reparation for any wrong done to him. Mr. Merrick then continued his argu ment. He criticised the evidence of the defense at length, and in closing for the day said that since they had begun to bpry men he might as well follow it up. He would bury Dorsey alongside Rerdell ; his fellow-conspira tors should be mourners. Oyer them ho would erect an arch, one end resting on the grave of Dorsey, the other end on that of Rerdell, and on the keystone of the arch should be written the epi taph. ' They were delightful and love ly in their lives and in death were not separated." And if, notwithstanding counsel's prayers, Gabriel when he passes over these graves should blow, and the corrupt and buried Dorsey should arise an immortal spirit and pome into that last grand court before the g»eat searphej: cf hearts before whom wc must all appear, and the great searcher and all-knower should ask him, "Were you not in the flesh known as Stephen W. Dorsey ?" the spirit would answer, "I don't remem ber." An uproarious burst of laughter greeted Mr. Merrick's sally, and after vainly rappiug (or crdp? (Judge Wylie adjourned the court To understand the above, it will be remembered that Dorsey, when upon the stand as a witness, in reply to every hard question bearing upon his sruilt, would answor, "I don't remem ber."—[En.J The Extra Session—Cut it short. From Philadelphia Press June 7.] The Legislature having failed to pass the apportionment bills, the Gov et>nOf pap it to meet in ex tra session at noon to-day. The Ex ecutive might have taken the ground that the responsibility for not obeying the constitutional command rested wholly upon the Legislature, and that it must anuwer for its ucglect to t|je people. But he regards tho mandate of the fundamental law so sacred as to demand every exercise of authority to secure its observance, and he reassem bles the Legislature in order to give it nnother opportunity of fulfilling its Inhere wiil be differences pf opinion as to the wisdom of the Governor's ■ act. It will be urged, on one hand, that he is right in doing all in his power to enforce the constitutional re quirement. It will be contended, on the other hand, that he should have exercised his influence to bring his party to accept apportionment at the regular session; that an extra session involves large ajid pepdjess expendi ture; and that tho real reason of the act is not to serve the public good but to obtain a partisan advantage. Be that as it may, now that the Governor Las decided to call an extra session, the people will unite in demanding that there be no nonsense about it. They will insist that both sides in the legislature shall address themselves to the worjj with reason, candor and good faith, and that there shall he an honest and earnest effort to reach a fair agreement It is both right principle and good policy to proceed in this spirit. Only in this temper can a conclusion be reached, and a conclusion must be reached or the party that stands in the way will be overwhelmed with a pop ular storm. While the regular course pf legislation was proceeding, the sub ject of apportioprpppt was partially lost sight of in the general current. Now the public attention will be con centrated upon it, and upon it alone. The Legislature will not daro adjourn again without passing an apportion ment, and the sooner both parties go at it in a rational way the better all arouo<3 naturally struggled ut A.
