THE Democratic members of the House at Washington held a caucus on the Morrison Tariff bill Tuesday night. The free traders were in a large majority, and tbe protectionists kept very quiet, but it was developed that there were enough of them to defeat the Morrison bill if they have the courage to unite with the Republicans. The resolution to press the Morrison bill pawed by a rote of 115 to 57. THE Judgeship is no political office | It has no political demands upon it and no political patronage whatever. For that position the people look at the j man and not at the office. Of that man is exacted the highest character, the I sternest integrity and deepest learning. The office must even seek the man, : tradition says. It is not a thing to be j hawked about to the highest bidder, or j given away as a reward to anyone. The man who holds it holds a high and sacred trust and that trust should be stored in a pure heart and guarded bv clean hands, hands that do not itch for gold. The Judge is an exemplar to the young, and as such, should teach the youth that "a good name is rather to be chosen than great riches." He is protection to the poor, strength to the weak, justice to all. His personal re quirements are of a higher type than those demanded of a President, aud no man who cannot fill this measure of worth should be elected to a judgeship. Every voter owes to himself, his fellow men and his Creator the duty of wisely exercising his right of suffrage. In day his and generation he should honestly, fearlessly, conscientiously strive to better the condition of man kind.—Mercer Republican. COMMUNICATIONS. Parker Township Items Qute a severe storm of wind and hail passed over this section last Tues day prostrating several derricks. The rigs are up and nearly ready for drilling on the Turner farm, J. W. Mc- Kee, owner, J. W. Wass'on. A couple of boys from North Bear Creek on last Tuesday night, stole a bee hive from 'Squire Jas. Riddle, of Bruin. Mr. Riddle followed the chaps and secured their identification the next day, swore out a warrant for their arrest, and they were brought up be fore 'Squire Kelly and confessed their crime, and not securing bail, were com mitted, and taken to Butler by Con stable Kepler. The correspondent from Bruin, for the Petrolia Record, is some, on "boom ing" candidates. A festival was held in the A. O. U. W. hall on Friday night for the bene fit of poor children. The Prohibitionists had a big meet ing in the school house Friday night, Rev. Wick of Farmington and Rev. Taylor, of Petrolia, done the Bpeaking. A number of ladies and genta went to hear the addresses, which are said to have been very good. Three delegates to their County Convention at Butter on the 18th were elected, viz: Robin son, Daubenspeck and Orr. Quite a number of people have mov ed into our metropolis this Spring, among the number is Blair Hooks, of the Stevenson farm, D. S. McKelvy and Thos. Wallace from Karns City, Archie Stewart from Fairview. Mrs. J. C. McCandless has been ly ing very ill for some time. Drs. Den nison of Bruin and Burchard, of Bald win are in attendance. Mrs. Wm. H. Parker is convalescent. The primary on Saturday was very poorly attended. Why is it that the Republicans can't turn out better ? This Way of leaving it to a few, and then blaming or finding fault with others afterwards, is not as it should be. Turn out to our primaries. The political caldron of all parties boils slowly, except in a certain direc tion, which will develope after a while, then look out for sticks. JONES. BUTLER, April 1, 1884 EDS. CITIZEN: —It was a very pleas ant trip Tuesday evening, April Ist, to the pleasant little town of Prospect, nine miles west of Butler. Every visit to that place brings back remembrance, of eighteen years past. We were then favorably impressed with the place, for its location, beauty, and the clean liness of streets and walks. But above all the high moral tone of the citizens, with the spirit of enterprise that seems to be exhibited, with their good social manifestations. They were particularly kind to us on this occasion, in that we were kindly escorted to a prominent seat, especially reserved for Butler visitors, who went, as supposed, es pecially to visit and enjoy the enter tainment given by the Prospect Acade mv School. We will say the entertain ment was fine. We could not eulogizo the performances without taking up each performance and then we could not do justice. But suffice to say, all through, it was very good, surprising ly good. Showing the ability, efficien cy and high tone of Prof. N. M. Crowe and J. C. Ricketts. It does seem to us that Prospect has done well in their instituting this school. The location, the society and character of the citi zens, bespeak the Prospect Academy a grand success. We believe the public can safely entrust their sons and daugh ters with a certainty they will be edu cated under Prof. Crowe and Rickets and also Miss White, an accom plished teacher in vocal and instrumen tal music, whose very presence and ability would inspire a taste in all her students, that she would meet and supply by imparting to her pupils. This is a noble institution, ably man aged by an earnest corps of Directors or Trustees, who seem determined at any sacrifice to make this school equal to any for comfort, morality. D. CUPPS. P. S:—Mrs Martincourt, who knows Low, did justice to our party as she does to all stopping at the Martincourt House. D. C The Treasurer's Salary. EDS. CITIZEN: —PIease give space to a short note in your paper, on Salary of County Treasurer. I hastily indorse the communication of Franklin Twp. Between 1866 and 1867 the new jail and Sheriff's House were built and paid for, I took my seat in the commis sioner's office in Nov., 1866, Treasurer Moore had died. The first thing was to appoint a Treasurer. The casting vote fell to me, as the other two each had their man. John C. Moore, Esq-, brother of deceased, was appointed. As a proposition had been made to leave S3OO in the treasury, out of the amount fixed by the two previous boards. SI2OO being the amout fixed for that year, therefore J. C. Moore got SIOOO for the year 1867. Hugh Morison was treasurer for 1868 and '69 and got about SI3OO. Now as to fix ing SISOO as the salary. I would not split hairs, but I can find plenty of good ' men glad to serve for SI3OO. Co«.VOQt!ENE6BINO TwP. PERSONAL. James B. Mates, Esq , who was recently admitted to the Bar, will , hereafter be found in the law office of | R. P. Scott, Esq., two doors West of the CITIZEN office. —Jas. Campbell, Esq.. of Greenville, 1 Pa., formerly of Parker tp., this county, was in town last week on business, j His old friends here are always pleased to see him. —G. H. Chandler, Esq., credited to j | Karns City, this county, but of whom we know but little, has been disbarred j from practicing before the Pension I>e- , partnieut at Washington City, owing to improper methods in his practice. —W. D. Brandon, Esq., received at | the primary in this borough last Satur- ; day the largest vote cast for any L'ep- j resentatiye delegate to the State Con vention. In view of the attack made upon him by a certain paper, for being a friend of Judge McJunkin, this vote is significant, as showing public senti ment here. —The names of the Hon. Daniel Ag" new, of Beaver, Hons. A. M. Brown> Thos. M. Bayne and Thos. M. Mar shall, of Allegheny county, and Hon. J. W. Lee, of Venango county, are among the prominent ones spoken of as Delegates-at-Large for the Western part of the State, to the National Chi cago Convention. —Mr. Robert Cooper, of Win field tp., this county, aged 68 years, was in town last Friday and called at the CITI ZEN Office to see us. Among other things he mentioned that he had just completed a reading of the Old Testa ment of the Bible within the last month. He had again read it through in a month's time. He remarked, in an swer to a question, lhat the book of Daniel was the most interestingto him, although the books of Job, Jonah, and others were almost equally so. This is by no means the first time Mr. Coop er has read the Bible through, he says, and having time on weeks days, after reading the papers, he spends the bal ance of his time in reading the Bible. He is an intelligent and good citizen and a man much respected by all who know him. —Mr. Samuel Sykes, Sr., and family of this place, removed last week to Al leghenv City, and can now be found there at No. 135 Lacock street. Mr. Sykes for many years past did business in the store keeping line, on one of the Dougal corner lots of this place, and was always recognized as a clever dealer and an honest man. He and family leaye many friends here who wish them prosperity in business at their new home. Esquire J. R. Pringle hag removed •his grocery store to the rooms formerly occupied by Mr. Samuel Sykes, im mediately opposite his old stand. Mr. Elias II Kirk has rented and will keep a store in the old Pringle room. —Our neighbor, Mr. W. 6. Power, clerk of Phillips Bros., in Brady Build ing, is one of the most benevolent and good citizens that has come to our place for a long time. He is to be seen almost every day cleaning the mud from the stone crossings of the streets that lead each way from his office, for the benefit of all pedestrians passiug over the same. When it is considered that the cleaned walks are but little ! personal convenience to himself we must ascribe his labors to a desire to promote the comfort of his fellow be ings, or, a still higher ones A sense Qf cluanliness,which is ranked next unto Godliness. —Capt. John G. Bippus, of Oakland tp., who met with the accident we mentioned last week, received greater than then stated. When be was kick ed by the cow and his leg broken he fell under the animal and was tramped and bruised by her until pulled by his children from under her feet in an un conscious state. We are pleased to hear he is recovering from his injuries. Republican Regular Primary.

CINCINNATI, March 32.—Mr. Murat Haistead telegraphs the New York Tribune to-night as follows: "The number of persons killed anil wounded in the riot is about 200. The last fatal shot fired in anger up to this writing was between 4 and 5 o'clock this morning, though a poor soldier boy was instantly killed this evening by the accidental discharge of his gun. The court house is not the utter ruin it was supposed to be. A large portion of the valuable records have been saved, The money that was iu the treasury if all safe. The vaults, which were very heavy, are mainly good. "We have confidence that there will not be a repetition of the terrors of three nights that will be ?o memorable here. But only the overwhelming force of state troops prevents further disastrous demonstrations, The determination to lynch the gang of murders in prison and to release the crowd of rioters who have been made prisoners is something terrific, and secret meetings were held to-day that would mean mischief if there"were not a thousand rifles and several batteries at hand. It is the display of power, making by the mob hopeless, that will prevent fresh outbreaks "The presence of regular soldiers from Newport Barracks at the sub- Treasury last night was an element of confidence. In stormy times the blue cloth works well. It happens that the City Controller had a complete list of the names of the tax-payers of the city and county and their addresses. The The tax bill give a discription and valuation of the property. These are valuable now. A REVIEW OF THE THREE NIGHTS. "The rioting on the first night was largely by working men of good char acter, who resented the fact that mur ders who have money to set in motion the machinery of criminal lawyers have had freedom here. The second night the spirit of the commune appeared and petroleum was put to use, as by the Parisians when they are pleased to burn their public buildings. The third night the number of determined men had been largely reduced, and there were swarms of boys. "Of the crowd that was smashing pawn-brokers' shops three were grown men, and they were thieves. They had with them a rabble of boys gener ally from 17 to 19 years of age, and one testified in the police court to-day that he was "13, and going ou 14 years of age." Out of 60 rioters gathered in for attempting to seize a battery of can non at Music Hall, only 10 were men. The rest were boys, some very bad ones, while others seemed to want ex citement, above all things. And so the crowds had depreciated from honest men, misguided, but animated by righteous wrath, kindled agaiusta sys tematized infamy of the most outrage ous character, to a vicious rabble of boys, in the hands of the lowest despera does. POPULAR GRIEVANCE. "The excited people had a real griev ance to begin with. The administra tion of the criminal law here has been damnable, and the influenco of sheer criminals in public affairs alarming. That which has happened will, we may hope, make irresistible the influences that lead to better ways. MURAT HALSTED, Editor Covi-Gazette. BUTLER MARKETS. Butter 25 to 30 cents. Eggs 25 to 30 ceuts.
