BUTLER CITIZEN JOHN H. L W. C. NEGLEY, PROP'RS, iEntered at the Postoffice at Butler as second<lcsss matter. WEDNESDAY. NOV. 28,1883. TLBKEYS— selling on our streets at 10 cents per pound, live weight. OIL slippery as ever—and the "bid ders" don't know whether a day may bring forth a bear or a bull—whether they will squeezed or horned. THE communications from our Brownsdale and Prospect friends, and much other matur, have to be omitted this week for want of space to insert them. WE know of a good farm, about eight miles south of Butler and con taining one hundred acres, nearly all improved, that can be purchased on very reasonable terms. On inquiry made at the CITIZEN office full particu lars can be obtained. "THANKSGIVING DAY." on Thursday. There will be joint religious services in the Presbyterian church, of this place, at 11 o'clock A. M.; several of the other churches having consented to joint eervices there instead of meetings in their §wn churches. LAST tveek Mr. Joseph A. Painter and Mr. John Weber, of Penn town ship, went to Crawford county and purchased from the Powell Bros, a very fine yearling Holstein bull, for which they paid SSOO. Crawford coun ty has got large sums of money from this county for horses and cattle within the last two or three years. ME. Jos. HOCKENBEBBY, of Frank lin twp., will sell his personal goods at public sale on next Monday, Dec. 3. He has sold his farm and is about to remove to Kansas. The only thing re markable about this is the age of Mr. Hockenberry, he being now upwards of 70 years, a little too old to emigrate to a new State. MR. RELBEN MCELVAIN'B lecture in Freeport, on Tuesday evening of last week, we learn was well attended and the receipts quite satisfactory. The Journal of that place says, "the lecture was just what is claimed for it—a soldier's story told in Mr. McElvain's own unassuming way." The next place he will lecture has not been an nounced as yet THE new telegraph polea erected last week, along the West side of Main street, are so high and thickly set as to give the street a new and rather singu lar appearance. This new line is from the city of Buffalo to Pittsburgh and is tLe third one having wires through our place, a fact that would indicate that Butler is a good point to be passed through iu the transmission of tele graph news, even if we do not furnish much of it ourselves. The fact of so ranch competition in the telegraphing business is encouraging to the public, that lower rates will soon be had in that matter. This last company is making very permanent erections and is reported to be backed by very heavy capitalists. CONGRESS is about to meet and tbe Pennsylvania Legislature is still in session. For mercy's sake what will be done ?" How can tbe country stand both these bodies at tbe same time? Tbe fact that the Legislature of this State has now Inten in session for near a year is not only one of the most ex traordinary but one of the moßt dis graceful things ever happening in this or any other State. Tbe squabble the members have got into about their pay is richly enjoyed by tbe people, who have lost all patience with them, and who, if the question was left to them, would say they should not receive a cent. Any member, of either Senate or House, who demands or takes a daily pay of $lO for days be was not actually present, at Harrisburg, trying at least to procure the legislation needed, will be condemned by tbe people for all future time. Should apportionment b : lls yet be passed the people might fjrgive and forget; but to spend six months, at a large cost to tbe State, and then turn over to a succeeding Legislature to do the work they should have done, at more and future cost to the State, is more than the tax payers seem inclined to tolerate. If the farce goes on the balance of tbe Senate had better follow the example of the two Al legheny members and resign. Now Volume. Tbe CITIZEN has started upon a new volume, having now entered on its 21st year, as will be Keen by reference to its numbers. We have recently added a number of new names to its list of readers, and as this is the time in the year that people generally provide for their winter reading, as well as their other winter comforts, we solicit their patronage, and would also ask all its old readers to take an interest in en larging its circulation. The days we are living in are full o' interest, and every appearance indicates that the Ct ming year, 18S4, will be one of important e\tnts. Especially will this be true in the political affairs of the United States. The moat hotly contested Presidential election ever had is likely to take place. Every voter should be well posted, and in this view we intend to give to the people of tiiis county full news of all happening through the CITIZEN. This we will da without fear or favor. We there fore ask the aid of all our friends to wards extending its circulation and, We hope, of enlarging its influence for the good and the right. Mrs. Foster. Tte field of statesmanship in this country can no longer be claimed for the men onlv. Une woman at least has arisen who has mastered the intri cacies of Government and its just powers. Much was expected from Mrs. Foster, lowa's great advocate of of the reformed Constitution of that State. But she surpassed the expecta tions of all who heard her in the crowd ed Court House room, last Friday even ing. For two hoars she stood before a deeply interested audience and deliv ered such a speech as is seldom heard. It was grand in its strength, graceful in its delivery and touchingly eloquent in its truth. Besides, it was some, thing new, a woman appealing to men to reform their State Constitution, and showing the right and necessity for do ing so. Constitutional• Prohibition, under the arguments of Mrs. Foster, received a new interest and a new life» which will grow and increase, all over the land, as the oniy remedy for the greatest monster evil yet remaining. We will not attempt to follow her throughout all her arguments, suffice to say, she had the sympathy and hearts of all with her. To parents, to the law makers and the law executors, her appeal to save the weak, to rescue their fellow beings, and to raise up a better society, went home to the con science of all. One noticeable feature of her lecture was its attention to and its effect upon the young men and the little boys among her hearers. Their interest in the woman who spoke so much, and so well, for their future good in life, was evident. They seemed to appreciate her interest in the fact that they were the rising generation, that must soon rule, and their attention was close during her grand appeal for them. If there is but one Mrs. Foster, and she alone travels over these Unit ed States, pleading for the reform she does in the liquor traffic and drink, there will soon be a revolution in the country upon that question. THE petitions for the pardon of Esquire John Smith, we understand, have been signed by more than three thousand names. Make a Way for Escape. During a discussion among the Re publican members of the Senate at Har risburg, last week, it was stated by one of them that he believed the Democrat ic members would accept the McCrac»- en Congressional bill, "if it were chaDged in the least manner." This has been our opinion for some weeks past. All, we think, many Democrats now would like to have is a way to es cape, a hole to get out of, so that it could not be said of them they backed squarely out. As it stands they are publicly committed against this Mc- Cracken bill, and the Republicans as publicly for it. Neither party can ex pect the other to now yield without humiliation. And as this McCracken bill can be made more acceptable to the people of at least one district we know of, we suggest that a "change" be there made. We allude, as we have before, to the district in which it is proposed to put Butler county. By this Mc- Cracken bill we are connected with Washington county. To do this it was necessary to cut off and run in a strip from Allegheny county, else we could not "make the connection," with Washington county. This strip of Allegheny county lays almost entirely along Beaver county. Now Beaver is placed, by the McCracken bill, in a dis trict with Lawrence and Mercer coun ties. By population this Beaver, Lawrence and Mercer district fall H nhort about fifteen thousand of the necessary required ratio for a district While on the other hand the proposed district of Butler, the strip of Allegheny and Washington county, exceed the required ratio by more than ten thou aand. Now if the counties of Beaver and Butler were but simply transposed, Beaver placed where Butler is ami But ler where Beaver is, it would make the two districts not only more equal in population, and thus meet the required ratio better, but it would meet the re quirements of the Constitution better, in the matter of "compact and contigu ous territory." For Butler with Wash ington county as a district is anything but compact territory, as a glance at the map will show. This change then is one that should be made, and can be made without disturbing any other dis tricts, and would, beside, make at least one way of escape for those opposed to the McCracken bill, as they could then say it was not the original bill, and they could vote for it without being liable the charge of backimj nut entirely. As we understand, both parties in our county generally favor this change, on account of it being more natural and right. Our Oiler. We have had several responses to the offer we have sent to all our sub scribers in urrears on their subscription accounts, a copy for a year of the American l'armer, provided they paid up said arrears. This offer they should all accept, as the profit will be all to them and the loss or expense to us. We therefore hope to hear from many more of this class of our readers soon, and especially before the first of the coming new year. We have a copy of the November number of the American Farmer on band at the CITI/EN office which can be seen by any one wishing to see the work. It is all that we stated, a 10 page journal and full of the lx:st reading matter for the farmer. Those paying in advance we are also putting on the list being made up for the Farmer. Death of Campbell E. Purviance, Esquire. It leccmes our task to record the death of another of our oldest citizens. Campbell E. Purviance, Esq.. departed this life on Monday evening last, in the 78th year of his age. If we are Dot mistaken he was the oldest citizen of this town who was born in it. Few men were better known in the county and few had a more active and varied experience in life. Briefly described, bis character was that of an honest, cand'd and truthful man. Deceit or hypocricy were strangers to his nature. Of decided convictions he was fearless and outspoken in all his views. He loved the right in all things for the sake of the right, and be indignantly condemned the wrong, the unjust or the unfair iu all things and under all circumstances. Mr. Purviance was a man of far more than ordinary reading and learning. There were but few sciences or subjects upon which he could not converse with much intelli gence. His mind was naturally in clined to study and investigation. His knowledge of history was remarkable and his memory wonderfully retentive. He had been in failing health for some time past and his death, while not un expected, is deeply regretted by our whole community. From the late history of Butler coun ty we take the following sketch relative to the life and business career of Mr. Purviance: "Campbell E. Purviance is a son of the late John Purviance, Esq., and was born in Butler on the 6th of May, I*o6. At an early age he learned the printing business, in the office of Maurice and John IJredin. After working some years at his trade he commenced the mercantile business and continued in that until he began the manufacture of guu powder, in which he was engaged about 14 years and up to the time he was elected Frothonotary of the county, in 1543. About the time of the gold excitement in California he, with a number of others, went there, but the enterprise did not prove successful. W hen the late civil wa r commenced he volunteered and was appointed and commissioned Commissary of subsistance of volunteers, with the rank of Captain, on the 7th of Julv, I*6-1, and was honorably discharg ed on the 10th of August, 1865, and for faithful service was brevetted Major. He was married Januarv 1, 1835, to Miss Catharine Brediu, daughter ol the late Hon. John Bredin, and had ten children, seven of whom are living; his wife died in the spring of 1854." Hon. Samuel A. Purviance, a young er brother, died in Alleghenv city a year or so ago. General John N. Purviance, his only other brother, is yet living among u3 in health and en gaged in active business. Besides him he leaves behind ttiree sisters, Mrs. Eliza Orr and Mrs. Adelia Bredin, living in this place, and Mrs. Eleanor Bryden, residing in Franklin, Pa. Hope It is Not True. We see it stated that Messrs. Cooper and Republicans of influence iu this State, were at Washington City last week and called upon President Arthur, and gave him words of encour agement towards being ii candidate for the Republican nomination for next President. We sincerely hope this may not be true. But if true, these men are making a great mistake. They can know but little of the feelings of the people. Their feelings are not in that direction by any means. On the contrary the uouynation'of Arthur would be looked upon as defeat in ad vance. Thousands of Republicans would never vote for him under any circmstances. While they have any re spect for the memory of Carfield they can never do so. But there are other reasons besides this that would cause his nomination to sink the party in a hopeless effort to elect him It is utter blindness to think of nominating him, and we cannot believe there is any ser ious effort making in any quarter, nor will be any made to do so. And it would be equally a blind mistake to make any effort to give him the vote of Pennsylvania iu the next National Convention. We hope the gentlemen referred to are misrepresented in their recent mission to Washington, as we see others have been who were report ed as being with them, but who were not even present on the occasion. Who for Speaker? Congress assembles ori Monday next and a very exciting question among the Democrats, who have a majority in the coming body, is the Speakership. A fierce contest is going on at Washing ton among them on thin question. The two prominent candidates are Randall, of this State, and Carlilse, of Kentucky. One being from the north and the other from the south has shaped the question into a sectional one, in which the tariff question forms an important part. The northern Democrats fear the election of Carlilse will damage their prospects in the Presidential campaign of next, year, while the southern Democrats, being the larger in number, demand the selection of one from the south as Speaker, and oppose Kandall as not sound on their view of the tariff. As the fight stands between them it is a very interesting one to the Republicans. Witherspoon Institute. The exercises in the Court House on last Thursday evening, f><r the ben efit of the Witherspoon, were largely attended and many of the performances were new and entertaining in their character. Space will not permit to particularize as to their different merits, but as many of them were new they were highly appreciated by the large audience present. Tbe Witherspoon is growing in usefulness and the import ance of sustaining it is duly appreciated by all our citizens. Uy the notice in anotbe." place it will be seen that other exercises will be given for its benefit on to morrow, Thursday evening, at which Miss Jean Wallace is to be pr«'M;nt and partici pate.

Last week was spent in a wrangle over a bill to pay themselves for not passing the bills redisricting the State into Con gressional, Senatorial and Legislative districts. The following is part of the proceedings of Friday, the last day's sjssion of last week, from which our readers can gather an idea of what is going on, and what the matter is aud how members are voting, etc. TWO ALLEGHENY COUNTY SENATORS RESIGN. HARRISBURG, Nov. 23.—The climax of the salary question came directly after the Senate had adjourned. Mr. Upperman, a quiet Senator from Alle gheny", considered that the action of his fellow Republicans in the Senate had put a stigma on him, and he said it rather hotly. Mr. Davies, who had dodged the vote on tinal passage, sneeringly remarked to Mr. I.'pperman that the Pittsburgber and his friends had tried to bulldoze the other Sena tors "I'll show you who is bulldoz ing," remarked Mr. Upperman, and walking over to the desk he wrote out his resignation as Senator. While thus engaged his colleague, Mr. Arnholt, who feels equally hurt over the position into which he says he was forced by Mr. Cooper and others, entered the Senate. Catching the inspiration from Mr. Upperman he too wrote his resig nation and both were placed in the bands of President pro tem Mylin. It is also said that the resignation of Sen ator Boggs, of Cambria, is held by President Mylin, who is also much hurt at the manner in which the salary question has been treated in the Sen ate, and Mr. McNeill will also resign. Mr. Mylin says the resignations are in such positions that they can easily be withdrawn, and au effort is being made to pacify those who have resigned and endeavor to haye them reconsider their action. REASONS FOR RESIGNING. Mr. Upperman was met by a repor ter this afternoon and asked as to the report that he had resigned. "Yes, I have placed my resignation in the hands of the presiding officer," said Mr. Up perman. "What are your reasons for so do ing ?" "Simply because I was not going 1 to allow Cooper and a few Philadelphians to place me in a false position." DEMOCRATS HOPEFUL. The resignations are the subject of comment in legislative circles and the Democrats are chuckling and praying that enough Republicans may resign that the Democratic apportionment bills may be passed. The prophecy as to trouble was made by your corres pondent several days ago, as it was then whispered that certain Senators would resign in a certain event. That event has transpired. THE SALARY WRANGLE. HAREISBURO, I'A , Nov. 23. —When the Senate met this morning the Sena tors looked fatigued. The struggle of yesterday over the passage on second reading of the salary bill told on them, and many of them wished the ghost would lie and not rise up to bother them. But as it was the only subject to be considered they determin ed to tackle it and have done with the matter. The bill was taken up on third reading and Mr. Adams succeed ed in having struck out the section making an appropriation of thirty dol lars to the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms for serving notices on absent members, lie said as this section only concerned himself be would like to pay the money and the Senate agreed to the proposi tion. The bill then passed third read ing and was put on final passage. Mr. King, who saw that the friends of the bill could not muster 2(5 votes, the con stitutional majority necessary to pass it, moved to postpone its consideration for the present. Mr. Adams vigor ously opposed this, and contended that as every day spent in considering this bill cost $:j,000 the total would soon reach the amount sought to be saved the treasury by the original Senate Committee amendment. Mr. King's motion was defeated by 17 nays to 10 yeas. EFFORTS TO lIEI.AV. Mr. Sutton moved to reconside- the vote l>y which bill packed third read ing, an be desired to offer an amend ment giving Senators the pay only for the days they had devoted to the ser vice of the Slate from June 18th. This was voted down, arid then Mr. Davies moved to postpone the bill until Tues day morning at 11 o'clock, as it was patent there was not enough votes to pass it now. This was opposed so vigorously by Senators llerr and Longenecker that Mr. Davies withdrew it. Mr. Gordon desired to say a few words before the vote on final passage was taken, lie should vote against the bill, because he regarded it as in ordinately extravagant. Had uh it was when it came from the House, the Sen ate had made it worse. It had dived down into the treasury just as far as it could k°- There were legal objections, he said, which ho would not now k' vm - This seemed to be a gentle hint lhat the Governor would veto the bill. TIIE 111 1.1. FAILS. The yeas and nays were then taken on the final passage of the bill and were as follows : Yeas—Messrs. Hiddiss, Greer, Hart, Humes, Kefer, King, Mc- Neill, I'atton, lions, Stchmau, Upper man and My I in—K{. Nays Messrs. Adams, Arnholt, (jlordoii, lierr, Hess, Kennedy, Laird, Lantz, Ijongenecker, McCracken, Key burn, Shearer, Smiley, Smith, Sutton, Wagner and YVatres—l7. Messrs. Arnholt, Adams, Lantz, Shearer, Smiley, MeCraekcn and Watres recorded as voting no, original ly voted 'aye,''but before the vote was announced changed their vote in order to lie in a position to move a re consideration The Senate then ad journed The House wrangled for an hour as to when it should meet again, and finally decided mi Tuesday evening at o'clock.

COM M l NICATED. ] Thomas Farm, Parker twp. November 21, 1883. MESSRS. EDS: —By request of the bereft widow, we wish to give a brief detail of the death anil funeral of Mr. A. B. Grant, a well-known citizen of Allegheny township, Butler county, who died Sabbath night at 11 P. M., Nov. 18th, 1883. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. C. McElree and Rev. J. R. Coulter. Service was held at the resi dence of the deceased, where many of the friends and neighbors gathered to hear the last farewell address. The funeral was largelv attended by warm hearted, sympathizing friends from all parts of the community. The last days of deceased's life are beet described by his bereft widow, who says, while he was conscious, yet suffering intensely, he seemed almost constantly in a state of prayer; he gave satisfactory evidence that he was prepared to meet his God. He was unconscious two days be fore he died, and could not leave the wished for words of cheer at the last moment of time, yet he left what to us is far more desirable ; a consistent christian life. He was a faithful husband, a loving father, a true friend, and a respectable member of the United Presbyterian church. The church feels that it has lost a worthy christian man ; but most of all the family feels his loss. Home without a husband ; home without a father; "Oh, how lonely; may God dwell in his lonely home, and be to to the sorrowing mother and children, all that he has promised," a very present help in time of trouble, and may he lead them through all life's pilgrimage up to the friend that has gone before ; may God bless and com fort the mourners in the lonely home. Yours very truly, J. T. Jean Wallace. This favorite vocalist is to appear before our people again on to-morrow, Thanksgiving evening, in the Court House. She comes now under the auspices of the Witherspoon Institute, and she should have a crowded house, not only for her own merit but on ac count of the merit of the Witherspoon. Miss Wallace will be accompanied by Mr. L. C. Webster, of Pittsburgh, a distinguished piano soloist. The ex ercises will also be varied with readings and recitations by Miss Annie Vickers, from the National School of Elocution at Philadelphia. NAltltlCl).
