BUTLER CITIZEN IOW IT * w7c. NE6LEY, PROTRS. Entered at the Postojfice at Butler as second-*'lc9i?.< matter. WEDNESDAY, DEC. 19,1883. WE are indebted to Hon. S. H. Mil ter of Congress for valuable public documents. As Christmas intervenes before another paper can be issued, we follow the long established custom in not is suing a paper during the week of the holidays. There will, therefore, be no paper from this office next week. We were cot able to attend the exercises by the scholars of the public schools on Friday evening last, but un derstand that under the direction of Mr. Mackey, Principal of the schools, they were very creditable to him and the scholars. THE National Woman's Christian Temperance Union will celebrate its tenth anniversary on Sabbath, Decem ber 23d inst. All local unions of the Penn'a W. C. T. U. are urged to ob serve the occasion, not only by them selves, but also by the churches and Sunday schools, wiih meetings, tem perance sermons, etc. "WHAT difference does it make," asks a badly posted correspondent, "whether Apportionment bills were passed or not?" Well.it makes this difference, in addition to a flagrant con tempt of the Constitution: The rapid ly growing districts of the State will be represented in 1884-85 and 'BC accord ing to the census of 1870, instead of the census of 1880; which is a rather serious difference.— Ex. THE case of James McEntosh against tl.e Mercer Mining and Manufacturing Company was the first case tried by a jury in the new quarters of the Court, English Lutheran Church, on Monday of this week. The plaintiff is a miner of coal and the suit grows out of one of the strikes about Harrisville last sum mer on account o! a reduction in the priee of mining. Hon. J. A Stranahan, of Mercer, waa one of the counsel for the defendant company. THE communications of Miss Lillie R. Lehman, Portersville; Miss Sadie B. Sloane, Adams twp.; "Milo," Mer cer twp.; and "G. P. W.," Franklin twp., No. 2, were all received at this office, but we are sorry to say have to be omitted this week through the amount of other more pressing matters on hand. We hope they will not, how" ever,cease to let us hear from them. We expect to have more room after this for all correspondents and friends through out the county who may write os. DURING the excitement of the Court House fire last Tuesday week several papers, books, etc., were removed for safety from the CITIZEN office, and the result was that several papers were lost. Among them wore several com munications intended for publication last week or this week. Our friends Aending them will therefore understand why they do not appear. II the writers can reproduce them, from memory or any copy they may have, we will take pleasure in publishing them hereafter, ia cases where not too late to appear. THE crowded state of our columns this week prevent a full account of the presentation, on Tuesday evening last, of a steel engraving of the battle of Gettysburg to the Alfred G. Reed Post, of the G. A. R., of this place. The engraving was sent here by Mr. Nelson P. Reed and brothers of the Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette, and in their names was presented to the Post here named in honor of their brother, the late lamented Alfred G. Reed, who was killed at the battle of Fredericksburg during the late rebellion. The presen tation proceedings were conducted in a very appropriate manner and the whole occasion reflects much credit upon the donors of the engraving, the Reed Brothers, of Pittsburgh. SENATOB LEE, of Venango county, pursued perhaps the most consistent and honest course relative to the pay of members for the extra session of the Legislature. He refused to take from the State Treasury $970, just about the one-half of the sum he could have taken. The Senate, it will be recollected, Tirtually adjourned last September, by passing a resolution to meet only on Tuesdays and Fridays. That is, they met on Tuesday aud adjourned to Fri day, and then again from Friday to Tuesday, and so on for about three months. This was doue because the Constitution says, "Neither house •hall, without the consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days," at one time during a session. This action of the Senate meant that no dis tricting bills, unless their own, could be passed. The Senate, about this time, September, passed a resolution to take pay only up to that time, Septem ber. Senator Lee, knowing he was absent about half of the time after that period, therefore declined to take pay for those absent daya, as well as for the firet days of recess, and we presume, for a second 'mileage. If other Beaa<- tors had followed this example the "grab," as it is called, would not have been so monstrous. One of the most indefensible things was the taking, by anyone, a second, mileayc. The mem bers had been paid one mileage when they first went to ilarrisburg, last Jauuary, and the extra session merely continued thent there. The naeesa they took was for their own convenience, lfow then they could dai® a mileage to r it no one can understand and no has bees made. NATIONAL CONVENTION. June 3d Hie Time and Chicago the Place. At a meeting' of the Republican National Committee, held in the city of Washington last week, June -!d was fixed 83 the time, and the city of Chicago as the place, for holding the next Republican National Convention, to nominate the next candidates for President and N ice President. This action of the National Commit tee will require our State Republican Convention to l>e held at JL period pre vious to the 3d oi June, in order that the State may be represented by four Senatorial delegates in the National Convention and by two delegates at large. Each Congressional district of a State has the right now, under the new rules, to send direct the two dele gates allowed each of them in National Conventions —the objectionable ' Unit rule" being now abandoned. But the State Convention, coming so soon next spring, will necessitate the county primaries being held at a date prior to the State Convention, in order that a county may be represented by delegates in the same. The primary election for this county next spring will, therefore, have to be held very probably in the early part of May, in order to make all things work in harmony with the new State rules. We merely refer to this matter at pres ent in order to direct the attention of prospective candidates for county office to the matter—for as matters are being arranged the time of the primary in this county wH' likely have to be held earlier than the usual time of June. Concerning the Court House. The burning of our Court House last week—or rather the fire that consum ed most all inside of its walls— ha 3 been the one engrossing subject among our people. That it is a sad sight, and a great loss all know. But thcr£ arc yarious rumors afloat that perhaps should not be indulged in. The cause of the fire is much discussed. From all we can learn there appears to have been a great raictake made when the building was remodeled a tew yearc ago. However, we desire to express no opinion upon the subject, but think it would be advisable, from the amount of talk oo the subject, that the present County Commissioners should have some investigation of the matter before repairing the building. The walls of the building withstood the flames and yet remain. The gen eral opinion is that up to at least the second story, and the top of the vaults, the brick walls are uninjured and can be rebuilt upon. The vaults also be iDg uninjured will be a great saving in repairing. If the house can be repair ed in this way the present board ot Commissioners can go to work as soon as the insurance questions are adjusted and arrange for repairing. But if an entirely new building is desired by the people of the county, then the action of two Grand Juries will be necessary —for that would be a question upon which the tax payers have a right and must be heard, through their Grand Juries. The insurance, amounting to about $30,000, we presume will all be paid. This amount,if collected and set apart for the special purposo of repair ing, some are of opinion will be suffi cient to replace the building to what it was. Others have a very different opinion. As to the report that the in surance companies intend to replace the loss—as they have a right to do if they see proper—we believe there is no foundation for said report or any proba bility that said companies will do so. The county is but little in debt; but its people do not want to be put in debt, more than is made actually necessary in restoring a Court House to them. The building was thought to be large enough for all purposes, and its founda tions are yet a 9 good as ever. Care should be taken, due deliberation had, and economy practiced in the work now made necessary. The Court this week met and is holding its sessions in the English Lutheran Church, which has been rented to the county for that purpose. The number of rooms connected with the English Lutheran Church, afford ing a room tor each of the county offi ces—was, we believe, what led to the offering and accepting of that place for the Courts, until the Court House can be rebuilt or repaired. The most interesting part, saved from the burning wreck of the Court House, is the representation of the Goddess of Justice. She fell from the : roof over the vestibule to the pavement; below, during the fire, and remains a pretty solid block yet. She now re poses against the iron fence in front of the old building and is an object of very general curiosity to all passers by Although blackened anj charred, with hands burned off, and looking as if in deep mourning, yet she remains, seem ingly to say, that justice has not fled from nor forsaken us. The block at tached to the figure upon which the word "Justice" was cut is gone, while the piece having the word "Law" upon it is nearly whole, aud eau be seen near tbfe iai-ga figure of Justice herself. The scales held in hef ii&rjd were, how ever, consumed by the fire. Annie R. Vickers. Elocutionary in the English Lutheran Church, night, Admission 35 cents. No re served seats. Doors open at 7.

This 1 sum represents the amount of money which my absence, as reported by the chief clerk, would not entitle me moral lv to use for my own benefit, but I be lieve will accomplish more good than ' by turning it back iuto the Treasury. ' The balance of §1570.00, you will i oblige me by sending to me in draft or t check.

Press Senators Core, Emory and Gordan, refused to take any salary whatever, on the ground that it had not been earned. It is a pity the State did not have more Senators after this pattern. —Allegheny Mail. Representative McCabe pocketed all his pay for the recess, sham sessions, no sessions, Sundays and every other day taking mileage, postage and every cent that was appropriated to his account, making nearly or over SIOOO. Representative Thompson covered back into the Treasury sllO for the recess while Senator Agnew re turned in the neighborhood of S4OO. Cjovernor Pattison's veto burst upou the Legisktuie iitte a thunder shower, but it passed over without doing any damage and his arguments fell as harm lessly on the minds of the ten-dollar-a day statesmen as raiu drops on a duck's back.— Heaver Aryus and Radical. Deytii or Poter Duffy. Escr. The death of Mr. Peter Duffy, which happened in this place on last Thursday, removes from among u5 the oldest of our citizens. He died in the 86th year of his age. Although an invalid for a prober of years pa3t and confined to his room, and therefore cot seen upon our streets or mingling with his fellow citizens, yet their regard for hi.n was not diminished. Born in Donegal tp., this county, he came to Butler, we are informed, in the yeijr 131 •», and soon became one of its enterprising mer chants. He held the oifice of postmas ter here from about IS-J0 to 1833, un der the administration of President Jacksoi), when he was appointed by Governor Wolfe, of the county, which office ho held until lS3f> In all places of trust he held he tilled the same with the utmost regard to dii / aud to the law. To say tuat he was a man of strict integrity, a m«n most truthful and conscientious in all he said or did, is but to say what all of our older citizens who knew him will fully confirm. No man bad a purer life or more correct habits. By care and correct dealings he accumulat ed a considerable fortune. His son, Mr. Charles Duffy, one of our most useful and enterprising townsmen, has been connected with him in business for some years past and hjd the gen eral management of the same. It has been large and successful. The re mains of Mr. Duffy were interred on Monday, with the expression upon the lips of all, that a good citizen and an honest man had gone to his rest. Christmas. In the CITIZEN this week we give its readers a good deal concerning Christ mas. We thought this the best mode of presenting a Christmas gift to them. Among the selections on the first page will be found something not only to amuse but to instruct all. The old folks will find something good, aud the young folks will fiud an amusing story. Of poetry also we have not forgotten. Those favorite lines, commencing "It was the Night Before Christmas," and the lines which say, ' Ring out the Old, lling ia the New," will be found, with numerous other articles relative to Christmas day and its proper observ ance. So, in the hope of having given our readers this week that kind of read ing matter most suitable and acceptable to them, to tjjeir wives, sons and daughters, it remains oniy for '.is to wish them, one and all, "A Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year." Whole Amount Received. In replv to inquiry made of U3, as to the whole amount of pay received by the members of the late I. gi-l iture, we believe it may be stated as follows: For the regular session, commencing last January and ending in June, the salary, daily pay and mileage, amount ed to i»bo"'t $155.0.00. For the extra ecssjon commencing in June and ending in December, Li..; amount, according to some of the war- rants presented at the Treasury, was $1950 00. These Iwo sums added wouM therefore mike the whoJe amount received by the members from tnis county to be $3550.00; less the amount they returned to the Treasury. * The Pay Question. The Legislature adjourned tine die on Thursday last ami the appropriation bill, having boon passed over the Gov ernor's veto, the members received their pay from the State Treasurer aad by Friday evoniDg a'l had left for their respective homes. The appropriation bill provided pay for the entire session ol 182 days, and this left the question entirely with the "on.-fionccs ol members as to whether or not they would take pay for the ref cess of eleven days at the opening o the session and for days in which they were tihsent attending to their own private business Over half of the members of the House had no conscien- tious scruples against taking the eutire sum, including mileage and allowance of ten dollars each for stationery. Among this number we Ikstl the name of Representative Gates cf this county. The record shows that he voted against the appropriation bill on dual passage, as reported from the Committee of Conference, and also against passing the item containing pay for members and Senators over the veto. He was one of the twenty-two members who voted to sustain the veto, and of course his vote was given on the ground that the veto was right and just and the bill wrong. Vet he took pay for every day, mileage, and the allowance for stationary, amounting in all to $1,970 for the special session, notwithstanding the mot tuat ne wa«> absent tweuty two days in which the House was in session. It is true the law gave him the sum stated, and had he supported the appropriation bill which provided for Lis pay, no exception could have been taken to his action on legal grounds, but his inconsistency jn op posing the bill on the ground that it was wrong, and then taking every cent of his pay cs provided for by the bill, places him in a position which, to say the least, will prove embarrassing and require explanation. Captain Has son opposed the appropriation bill and voted agajpst the measure as reported from the Committee of Conference, cf which be was a member, yet he took his pay, mileage und 'stationery, turn ing back into the Treasury sllO for the eleven days of recess taken at the open ing of the session. He was generally in his seat during sessions of the House and but for his inconsistency iu oppos ing the bill, his action in reference to the question of pay would not have been questioned. Representative llul ings, we understand, will take pay only for the number of days he was actually in attendance during sessions of tbe House. Representative Crawford, of Philadelphia, is the only member of the House who returned ail of his p»y to the Treasury. In the Senate, nearly all the mem bers returned to the Treasury SI 10 pay allowed for the recess, and many refus ed to take pay for days they were ab sent. Senator Lee covered into the Treasury ?i>VO, refusing to time pay foe any time after September 10th, when a resolution was passed by both Senate and House instructing the appropria tion uommin-fees to rej;ort IjiJiij nrovid ing for pay only to that date. He also refused to take pay for the recess of eleven days. Senators Emery, of Mc- Kean and Coxe, of Luzerne, returned all of their pay to the Treasury. Sen ator Kennedy, of Philadelphia, took pay only for the days he was present during the session — Venango Citizen. A Third Rail. Tfcc Pittabijrgf) ami Westerq K. It. Co., is now at work laving a third rail on the rond between Callerv Junction and Butler. The third rail now be tween Callt-ry and Allegheny city is lacing taken up for this purpose and is being placed on the road from (Jallery to this place, as stated. This will rjiaJve the P. & W. virtually a broad or standard gauge rotd from Butler to Allegheny—and will do away with the narrow gauge ears and consequently make travel upon that road more se cure and comfortable. Conation, The members of the West Liberty U. I'. Congregation, determined to add to the many causes of thankfulness to thf-ir pastor and bis family, ou Thanks giving, assembled in force at bis resi dence, taking them completely bv sur prise. Juat as we were preparing to start to church thev began to come, and in a few minutes the house was Filled and they had peaceable possession. The day was one of social enjoyment and all seemed happy and thankful in Christian fellowship. A sumptuous dinner provided by the ladies added to the good cheer. A handsome roll ol greenbacks, with gold and silver was presented to the pastor; also a good supply of (lour, groceries and provisions for the family, and even the pastor's ponies and cow were not forgotten as shown by the supply of oats and ground feed placed in the stable. This expression of kindness is the more highly appreciated, as the congre gation being small, it requires an effort to raise the pastor's salary, which is promptly paid. We most sincerely and heartily thank the donors, and pray that the Lord may reward them richly for their kindness and liberality. W. P. SHAW. MARY E. SHAW. | To Subscribers in Arrear.
