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

The Legislature.
We are unable to give all transpir
ing in the Legislature. 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,

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.
