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.

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.
