1884.
COCRT next week for trial of civil
causes.
THERMOMETER 30 degrees above zero
on New Year's morning.
A CALENDAR lor 1884 will be found
in the CITIZEN this week.
SOME communications not appearing
this week will on next week.
THE trial of yonng Natt will com
mence at Pittsburgh next week. Wo
will give our readers as full an account
of the proceedings as possible.
To a friend who inquires we state
that there ha 3 been no Mercantile Ap
praiser appointed for this county yet
by the Commissioners —that we know
of.
To our offer, to furnish an agricul
tural paper to all subscribers paying up
arrears, a large number responded, and
we have sent on their names for the
paper commencing with the January
number.
THE County Auditors meet next
week, to audit, adjust and settle the
financial business of the county for the
past year. This report will be looked
to with interest as the business affairs
of the county are growing in import
ance.
DURING the past week or ten days
we have added a number of new sub
scribers to the CITIZEN list. As 1884
promises to be a year full of exciting
and important events, now is the time
to take a paper, thus commencing with
the year.
Our County Affairs.
The burning of the Court House, and
tbe consequent increase of taxation,
make the present a very important
period in the history of our county.
What the additional taxes are to be
will depend on the cost of reconstruc
tion of the building, and this will de
pend much on the manner of the recon
struction, whether rebuilding or re
pairing. So far as public opinion has
been expressed it seems to be almost
unanimous that the building can be re
paired, and should be as soon as possi
ble. The present board of County
Commissioners are having and no
doubt will have* many difficult questions
to deal with and settle. They should
have the aid of the best counsel they
can obtain. From circumstances the
people are somewhat uneasy on this
matter. If the Commissioners have
not competent counsel at present they
should speedily procure euch, one in
whose integrity tbe public has reason
to rely. The present counsel is known
to be the real editor of one of our
papers and there are pretty big straws
in its last issue to show which way the
wind is blowing. There is much more
danger of him ''drifting under the con
trol of the insurance companies," than
there is of any of our other editors, as
he insinuates last week. It may be
well for the county if he is not "led
into temptation," as it is believed he
could not "resist temptation." By the
past we judge the future, and on this
safe principle ho will, at least, bear
watching, not only by tbe tax-payers
of the county but by his present em
ployers, the County Commissioners.
There need be no trouble about the
amonnt the insurance companies must
pay. They must pay to the amount of
their insurance if the actual loss is that
amount. This is the only question in
regard to the Court House fire. If the
loss by the fire is to the amount of the
insurances the companies must pay,
without regard to any other question.
We might refer to other points now
of interest. But only one other will
we at present, as in that is shown the
motive and purpose of this counsel and
editor to mislead the public, and per
haps to throw dust into the eyes of his
employers. lie criticises, last week,
the action of the .ludges of our
in their new temporary quarters, for
suggesting that a watchman should be
appointed to natch and guard the
bnilding from fire. This was suggest
ed by tbe Court on account of, and for
the safety of the record #, the loss of
which, as the Judge remarked, could
not bo estimated, hnt would he an un
told loss to the people of the county,
as, among other things, many of the
titles to property would be endangered.
Notwithstanding the gravity of this
matter, this counsel and editor treats
the opinion of the Court as one involv
ing expense and says the Court ought
"to detail one of the tipstaves for that
purpose." Now all know that tip
staves arc only employed and paid
while the Court is in session. How
could tipstaves watch the building
when no Court was in session ? To
appoint one of them would save no ex
pense, and ono not a tipstave might as
well then be appointed; as indeed the
Commissioners have done, by appoint
ing the son of one of their number, Mr-
Cochran, who wc believe will make a
good and safe watch. We merely refer
to this small matter to expose the well
known animosity and practice ot this
•ditoT towards some of our judges, lie
sides, this matter of a watchman's ex.
pense was but a blind, a stopping at
the spigot, while it is at the "bung
hole" tbe people bav* reason to Jook
«nd fear, and will 1* on iwtcb..
Next Primary Election.
We have been frequently asked as to
the time the Republican primaries will
be held this year. Our answer has
been that it may depend some oil the
time fixed for the Slate Convention.
The National Convention is already
fixed for the 3d of June, and as no ,
State Convention is allowed, under tbe I
present rules, to be held earlier than
30 days from the National one, our j
State Convention will probably be held
this year at or about the 3d of May. j
Should it be called to meet about that
time, first of May, or at a later period ;
in the month, some are of opinion
that the primaries might be held this
year shortly before, in order that the
delegates to the State Convention can
be elected at the same time. As the
delegates to the State Conventions
have now to be elected this would ac
complish both purposes at tbe one pri
mary and thus save tbe Republican
voters the trouble and time of two
elections, one for delegates to tbe State
Convention and one for the selection of
the county ticket. This would make
our primary earlier this year than
usual, and might be satisfactory. But
if not, then there will oi necessity either
have to be two primary elections this
year, or the February spring election
used to elect the delegates to the State
Convention. This latter suggestion
we have heard made, and it is regarded
by many as a good one, inasmuch as
all voters generally attend the t ebruary
or spring elections and would therefore
be put to no inconvenience to elect said
delegates. Before that time, spring
election, it will be known very likely
when tbe State Convention will meet
and then our County Committee can
act accordingly. This trouble can only
come on years of Presidential elections,
or every fourth year.
Oi'R publication of the Governor's
veto message of the pay bill, passed by
the late Legislature, appears to have
thrown a scribbler in the Eagle into
hysterics. He seems to have been
awfully frightened on reading it—went
into convulsions in fact—and became
bewildered to such an extcDt as to
actually forget himself and sign bio
true name to his anonymous communis
cation. "Nemo'' was the most appro,
priate signature he poaaibly could have
signed for himself. A "Nobody," a
"Nothing," for that is what "Nemo''
means. We will not dispute with him
the title he gave himself, for it was the
proper one. It is known that hid abil
ity does not lay in bis bead ; is not to
be found upon any record or page of
his public service ; is in fact a blank,
nothing, or '•nemo." lie may be grown
big physically, by feeding upon the
public pap. Hut that is noreasoD why
the readers of the CITIZEN, or of any
paper, should be deprived of seeing and
reading a message ot the Governor of
their State, a public document. All
the Republican papers of tbe State, so
far as we have noticed, with one excep
tion, and that at home here, published
the said Governor's message, as news
for their people. We copied it from a
Republican paper, "head lines" and
all. And if Mr. Nemo tl.inks that is
not Republican he will find "the woods
full" of Republicans that differ very
much with him. He has but to come
out and give his name to the public to
prove all we here say about hita. Will
he do it ? We dare him to.

MESSRS. Ens:—After thanking you
for the wishes of a Merry Christmas,
and the pleasing story of how to "pop
the question out of a meal sack," given
in your last, I wish to say that tbe peo
ple of this township seemed to have a
Merry Christmas. The day was pleas
ant, the sleighing good, and all who
could secure sleighs seemed be enjoying
them mid jingling bells and merry
greetings. The principal feature of at
traction in the evening was the Liter
ary at the Gildersleeve school house,
wbere many from this and adjoining
townships gathered to hear a debate on
tbe question "Was Governor I'attison
justifiable in vetoing the Pay Bill,"
which wan debated in a spirited man
ner by J. Cochran, J. K- Cubbison and
other?. Good order was observed in
the bouse, although after the adjourn
ment some symptoms of the "ardent"
were manifested. MILO.
Mercer Township.
December 17 th, 1883.
MESSRS. Eds:—ln your issue of 12th
I noticed a report of a school in tfai«
township called the "The Whiteoak
Point School." There is no such
school in Mercer township. The school
referred to is the Gildersleeve school.
It is a new building and after its com
pletion pome two years ago, at a regu
lar meeting of the Board of Directors
they named the school house "The
Gildersleeve School," as he lives near
it, and it is built on a part of his farm,
the Directors having bought the land
from him when none others owniug
land in a suitable locality seemed will
ing to sell land to the Directors in fee
for that purpose. The attempt on the
part of some persons to arbitrarily
change tbe nenie looks like contempt
of the action of the Board who named
it, or a spirit of envy either of which
does not appear to mo as commend;
able.
Mr. Gildersleeve is well known as
an educational and public spirited man,
fully wofthy tjie honor conferred on
him by the Board i«i naming the house
for him—by which' name it htia
known. Besides, it is customary to
call a school by the name of the person
ot» whose farm it has been built, and
why sow.3 persons who are not mem
bers of the bow~4 have tried to change
the name without an, authority of the
Board, I do not understand for
the eMpons above mentioned and woyid
Irti glad if so#i* one who does under
stand would givereat!o>i« ;y by it should
be changed from the name given it by
the Directors who built it
