BUTLER CITIZEN J9HN H. & W. C. NEGLEY. PROP'RS, j Entered at the Postoffice at Butler as , second-classs matter. 1 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 'B4. . Republican State Ticket. FOR PRESIDENT, JAMES G BLAINE. FOR VICE PRESIDENT, ROBERTT LINCOLN. FOR CONGRKSSMAN-AT-liAttGE, OEN. K. s. OSBORNE, Of Luzerne county. IN another place of this paper will be seen a card from Mr. Porter W. Lowry relative to bis communication in the CITIZEN of last week, signed "A Voter." The occasion for the communi cation of Mr. Lowry grew out of the removing and destroying of the box and ballots therein, as cast by the Re publican voters of the Second ward this borough at the late delegate pri mary election on the sth inst. The box and ballots, it seems, had been left at the Wick House, where the election Was held, and put in the care of Mr. Wick until called for. Capt. Samuej W&Uier, as Tudge, and Geo. C. Pillow £*d W. Howard Colbert., Esqrs., as "giprks.held the said election. From Mr. Colbert's statement, also published last Week in the CITIZEN, it seems an agree ment was made between him and Capt. Walker, after closing the election, that tftey two should meet at the Wick House after the County Convention of 7th inst. Was held, and get tho box dDd ballots for the purpose of destroy ing them. No certain time was nam. •d lor the meeting and they did not meet together. Mr. Colbert, however, it seems went alone for the box kfter said Convention, and procuring it from Mrs. Wickt ook it to his office, or rather the law office of John M. Greer, Esq., and himself. From this fact it appears all the complaint and trouble bas arisen, concerning this ballot box Capt. Walker and Mr. Pillow are of one way of thinking in some political matters and Mr. Colbert is of another way. Hence a surmise arose that the box and ballots had been procured by Mr. Colbert for some unfair or improp er purpose, and in consequence there was much talk complaint, and ar ticles even appeared in the Pittsburgh Dispatch and some the prints of this place on the subject. These coming to the knowledge of Mr. Colbert he at once made the sworn statement we I published last week, in which he says "be took the box and Lallots to his of fice and burned them, intact, in the stove of his office ; and that not a bal lot was disturbed or examined by him> nor was a box or a ballot seen or band led by any person whatsoever after he received it from the hands of Mrs. Wick." This statement of his should qaiet all complaint in the matter. His affidavit as published should be accept ed as satisfactory unlessitcan be shown to be incorrect. There is no allega tion, we believe, that any recount of the ballots might or could have altered any result. The closing part of Mr. Lowry's ar ticle of last week refers to another mat ter which his card of this week more fblly explains. This matter, so far as we can learn, arises out of a due bill of John M. Greer, Esq , having been fiven to A. L. Craig, late County Treasurer, and transferred by Mr. Craig to Mr. Miller, present County Treas urer. Mr. Miller claims this due bill •f Mr. Greer's was an individual mat tor and has since been settled with him and that the county could iu no way fe*ye lost anything in the matter. Mr iowry, it will be seen by his card, £bates that he had this Greer due bill matter wholly in his mind when writ ing his first article aud did not mean to eonvey the idea that Mr. Miller was übw making, or bad at any time since he has held the office, made any im jfroper loan or use of its funds. Mr. Miller, so far as we know, has been a careful County Treasurer, aud is dis charging his duties to the public prop erly. And this, and the first above Statement, is made thus fully by us in order that no injustice be done to any party concerned. County Superintendent The election for this important office takes place next Tuesday, May G. It ia not the people generally who will choope the Superintendent. The power is lodged properly iu the hands of the different Boards of School Directors. They are presumed to l>e more compe. Wsnt for tbe task, and to have such knowledge of our schools, and school system, as to provide for tbe children of the county the best Superintendent possible. Learning undoubtedly is the llrst qualification to be considered in making a choice—but it is not the only one—talent for performing the duties of the office, cuhure and good address, w®uld seem points that should be •onuidered by the Directors in making a choice. Anything like politics, or Aitfiide influences, should not be intro «» SfLocd or listened to by the Directors, duty is to get the best man they oftti, in the interest of the children and Vhe schools only. All the candidates offering on the present occasion are competent, so far as our knowledge ex tends, but if there is one better than the <*herg he should be chosen. That much of xiao progress in schools depends upon th« attention, caro and "git up" M the Superintendent generally, there «in be no doubt We hope to see a full attendance of the Directors on Tuesday next and a good selection Thade. COMMUNICATED. Letter from Kansas. OIIATHE, KANSAS, April 21. 1884 KDS. CITIZEN :—II has been s lowing htre all day and no signs of lett ng up. Oats mostly sowed and most of flax and com ground plowed, and some corn pfaiited, but plant ng corn in March two years ago, or rather repl nting that year, put a good many farmers out of conceit of putting in their corn so early. Wheat is coming ou' so much better than was expected afte: so hard a winter —freezing and thawirg and not much snow to protect it. It is generally thought that the j peaches are killed, but apples, cherries and plums are all right. The "prairie schooners"—emigrant wagons, are daily 6een Westward ! bound. We had our primary here last Sat i urdav. Blaine is ahead. .G. I Prohibition Proceedings. The Executive Committee of the P. H. P. party met in Butler at the Wick House, April 18th, aud called to order by the Chairman. Rev. J. A. Clark opened with prayer. After some financial business was disposed of, Mr. J. W. Orr read a very encour aging letter from J. M. Pearce, Phila delphia. The next business being to appoint Delegates to State Couvention at Philadelphia, May Ist. P. W. Con wav and J. W. Orr were appointed. J W. Brandon and Rev. W. P. Shaw alternates. On motion that the Chair man be instructed to send his bill for printing for the last year to Treasurer,S. Harper, at North Hope, for payment. After a routine of campaign arrange ments were disposed of, the following resolutions were offered by J. W. Orr and adopted: WHEREAS, We the P. H. P party are working for the overthrow of the Liquor trafic in County, State and Na tion, and no other party having thus avowed, but as parties have rather courted the favors of liquor dealers and have become obligated to liquor associ ations. Resolved, Therefore, that we have nothing to gain and everything to lose by fusing or complicity with the old parties, by voting for, or in any way aiding them or their candidates who are pledged to the support of their party utterances, Resolved, That our delegates to the State Convention be instructed to vote only for delegates to National Conven tion who are in favor of nominating a President aud Vice President of those who are known to be tried and true to the principles of the P. H. P. party. Resolved, That we acquiesce in the action of our National Committee as to time and place of holding the National Convention, Resolved, That one vote now is of more value tban hundreds will be when success is certaiu, it is therefore earnest ly desired that member of the P. H. P. party stand by and cast their votes in favor of party nominees. On motion that when we adjourn we adjourn to meet in convention on the 3d of June next in Butler at one o'clock P. M., to nominate a county ticket, and that the Rev. Shaw be instructed to secure a speaker, and if possible the Rev. R. A. Brown, who will address the convention and speak in the court room at night. Resolved, That these proceedings be given to all the papers of the county for publication and to the I'rohibition Manner of Pittsburgh. Adjourned, April 23d, 1884. J. W. BRANDON. J. M. ROSE, Sec'y. Chairman. A Card EDS. CITIZEN :—ln a communication published in your paper last week and signed "a voter," the writer iu speak ing of certain parties having had the use of the funds in the county treasury for their individual benefit, meant no reflection on the honesty or official mis conduct of our present County Treas urer. The writer did not want to con vey the impression that the money h:.d been obtained during thetimt Mr. Mil ler has been custodian of the county fund, but he wished only to refer to the due bill of John M. Greer that was given for a certain amount of money, some time before Mr. Miller was elect ed to office. This due bill was handed over to Mr. Miller and accepted by him from A. L. Craig, Esq., (former Couu ty Treasurer) with the other papers in the office wben Mr. Craig's term of of fice expired. This due bill.jMr. Miller says, has been paid, or settled, since he has been treasurer of the county, but the fact still remains, and cannot be coutradict od, that his (Greer's) obligationtw;as in the County Treasury. WHY it was there can be determined by every man who thinks for himself. I ask that this be published to clear Mr. Miller per sonally of any unjust criticism. P. W. LOWRY. Butler, April 2G, 'B4. The Burning of the Court House and the Adjustment of the Loss. Eus. CITIZEN :—A rumor has been started in the southern part of tbe county that the present board of Couu ty Commissioners refused to let the in surance companies in which the build ing was insured, repair or rebuild tbe destroyed building. In said rumor there is not one word of truth. The building was burned on the 11th of Dec. last, and the companies in which it was insured were immediately noti fied and they sent their ageut on from the East, aud they chose one adjuster, and the Commissioners chose one, and, after three days, failed to agree, and the agent went home. Again the insur ance companies notified the Commis sioners that they had chose another person as an adjuster and for the Coun ty to choose, one they were willing to rest the case on their decision. The in surance companies chose a master builder from Elmira, N. Y., and the Commissioners chose J. P. Baily, an architect from the city of Pittsburgh These gentlemen met at the time ap pointed and were sworn and after care fully examining the ruins, signed the settlement, awarding the county $23,- 500 as the actual loss sustained. The present Board of Commissioners asked the companies to rebuild or re pair if they seen proper to to so, but tbey refused aud asked to have the matter adjusted in the usual way. The county has no power to force them to rebuild or repair. Now, the above is just the truth and can be proven by the sworn testimony of reliable witnesses. We cannot see for what purpose so glaring a falsehood should be put in circulation. (JEO. W. HAYS. Butler, April 28, 18SL Jefferson Twp., School No. 4. EDS. CITIZEN . Jefferson twp., I School No. 4, taught bv Mr. E. P. Lo- ' gan, closed on Thursday, April 10th with good success. The forenoon was spent in an examination of the work done during the winter by the small pupils. They acquitted themselves most honorably, proving the good work their teacher had done during the j term. Then one hour and a half was : spent in partaking of a most sumptuous dinner prepared by the good citizens of that district. The differeut families united their dinuers on a table which was arranged by the school, so that teacher, scholars, parents and all sur rounded one board This was done by parents and scholars as a teacher's memorial and tribute of respect to him for his untiring efforts pot in behalf ot the school, aud to promote the cause of education in general. In the afternoon came the entertainment; superior to any thing ever known here. The excellent music furnished by Messrs Fleming, Logan aud llartzel on their violins, and by Miss Flemiug, Miss Brown aud Mrs. M. E. Logan on the organ, certainly made the day enjoyable Ap propriate addresses were made by many citizens. The entire day was very pleasantly spent by all that attend ed Jefferson College. May success follow, is the wish of JEFFERSON CENTRE CLINTON TWP , APRIL 25,'84. EDS. CITIZEN: —We would like to know how many offices a man should have for being a soldier in the late re bellion. We have already voted three times and helped to give three offices to John M Greer, one of the men now candidate for Judsre. This we done believing he might be fit to fill them. But in the opinion of the people here if a man has been three years as County Attorney, and eight years in the State Senate, right along, making eleyen years in office in all, we think the peo ple have done pretty well by him, and now for him to ask for another office, the high one of Judge, which we know he is not fit to fill, in asking us to take a dose we cannot swallow. And all the claim now made for this candidate is because he done some soldiering. It is a good lawyer we ought to have over our Courts. We have one now, and know that Judge McJunkin is a good lawyer, and has made a good Judge aud has health, and strength and training and all the qualifications necessary for a Judge. Would it be wise to change him for one who has been in politics for eight years past, and could not be competent for that reason alone, even if he could be other wise? A Judge is too important to us for that. We are all interested in having the best man forjudge we can get, and will therefore at the primary vote lor Judge McJunkiu and not for John M. Greer, who it seems to us should be ashamed to ask that office. AN OLD SOLDIF.R Gleanings of No. 6. Clinton Twp. MESSRS. EDS: —Please submit this article to the public, and oblige. In the southern part of Butler county in the N. W. corner of Cliuton twp., near the road which connects Pughtosvu and Boydstowu, there is a small 25x35 gable-roofed brick building. It is situ ated cozily in a small grove belonging to the well improved and well cultivat ed farms of Messrs. Miller aud Chant ler. The above mentioned and located building is known as Excelsior No. G. School was in actual operation 125 days. Several weeks before the close of term, the teacher was contemplating a piece pertaiuing to his school (having seen iu your valuable paper putts in be half of his fellow-teachers, and thinking his friends might forget to puff him, he concluded to blow his own horn,) but when he had made an aggregate in which he saw that the majority of his pupils were not at school more thau one half their time, he questioned thecorn mendableness of such a publication on the part of the teacher, and concluded not to expose himself The sudden manner in which the bright vision of au iuteuded puff vauish ed, led the nearly despondent teacher to take up the report book iu which he made the following discovery : That the aver ge per cent, of attendance, for the last five terms taught successively by Messrs. J. N. Moore, N. M Crowe, J. A. MoCafferty., W. W. llazlett and V. F. Thomas, is respectively as fol lows: 77,85,75, Maud 74. This aggregation is not intended to contrast the different teachers, for regu larity of attendance is no criterion of the abilities of a teacher. Per cent, of attendance depends upon sickness, inclemency of weather aud to a great extent upon the disposition of teach ers. But tbe extremely low aud equal per cent, of attendauce lor the last half decade aud the hearty aud robust ap pearance of the pupils demonstrates something else. The opinion of the teacher is that irregular attendance has been tolerated so long that it has , become customary. What is custom? Custom is that which is forged out by the sledge-hammer, habit, it is the stuff of which moral characters are made. Our own free will wields that sledge hammer, and, therefore, every one is the artificer of his moral character. Irreg ular attendance is a vice which is the bane of the teacher's success. It is a neglect of duty which parents owe their children, and a parent who tolerates un necessary irregular attendance at school is not a good moral agent. The desire of the teacder is that the patrons of the school accept his thanks far the charitable manner in which they feigned not to notice his imperfections, and lor the pleasant time they permit ied him to speud in their locality. To put the best constructions upon the ac tions and sayings of a fellow-creature, and hospitally to entertain a stranger in their midst is charity in its truest ; sense. V. F. THOMAS, Teacher IT will be a remarkable thing in our political history, if when the people of the Republican party have indicated the man they want nominated for Pre ident, with as much unanimity as they Lave for James G. Blaiae, that the Na tional Convention followiug should dis regard that opinion and nominate an other. The voice of the people has heretofore been supposed to be all-pow- erful, and must prevail, but such action would look as if politicians were more powerful than the people. «««<< t\..f r.> • siikj •<» g-ioa f#i mu iiiulcHrliinvoiirlJmiiri i'uiuous iMrinhc IllUlllWOlltM'WwM Writ* to J.

THE Mercer Rerublican is pleased that Miller, not Roberts, was nomina ted for Congress in this county. Tbe Republican is indignant that Geo. W. Wright, of Mercer, was chosen an alternate delegate to Chicago, and hopes Mr. Cochrau, of that county, the delegate, will be able to attend. Wright, it declares, is known as a rep resentative of Mr. Cameron. He (Wright) wanted to be elected a dele gate, but could not be. The JOURNAL warned the convention two weeks ago concerning this man—one of tbe machine's most pliant tools. We wish the Crawford county delegates had staid in the convention and defeated Wright, if possible, and we join the Mercer Republican in the hope that Mr. Cochran will have no use for his alternate.— Crawford Journal PostofUce Laws.
