P*embe*t Hakrisox asked the two
members of the senate of this state who
called upon him for an office, if there were
any Repubhcana left in Pennsylvania.
Our answer ia, yea, the homes of Pennsyl
vania are full of Republicans, good and
honest IS'-publican*. but»every man who
puts his head up for office is terrorized, and
every man we send to Harris burg is
hoodooed by some mysterious power, and
then the Lord only knows what they are.
Death of the Election Bill.
A dispatch from Washftigton dated last
Monday said. The anti-Election bill peo
ple have just lacked one vote of having a
majority, and to-day, when they counted
none*, it was found that the missing vote
had turned up. Senator Morgan was in
the; midst of his speech on the cloture rule
-her. Mr. Walcott asked hiin to yield the
floor for the purpose of calling up the Ap
portion? Nt bill. Mr. Morgan, knowing
that this meant the shelving of the Cloture
rule and the Elections bill, yielded with
great alacrity. The vote revealed that the
parties were almoat evenly matched, ex
cept that the Democrats and apostates had
one majority.
Mr. Waicott mored to proceed to the
consideration of the Apportionment bill.
Mr Ilolph moved to lay the motion on
the 'able, and the motion was rejected,
amid much applanse-yeas, 34 nay* 35.
(sector Cameron, Jones (of Nevada).
Stev ~t. Teller. Washburn and Walcott
voted with the Democrats, and Mr. Ingalls
wa- . tired with Mr. Sanders.
The rota was taken on Mr. Walcott'*
motion to take up the Apportionment bill,
and it was carried-yeas 35. nays 34.
The move waa certainly a surprise to
the Republicans as Senator Aldnch was
calculating on securing a vote on the
Cloture rule to-morrow. The silver Rep
el, -ans stuck together on the vote. Sen
ators Teller, Wolcott Stewart. Jones,
XT .i-!ibura and Cameron were the half doz
en I'-publicans who again thwarted the

the <".< lone Eastern Uepnblican who

vital importance, as it gave to the Repub
lican party ten or 12 more eleclorial votes

iiiirtnice to the Cloture rule or the Elec
lion* bill.
The scene in the House when it was
learned that the Elections bill bad been
tsw ki d, was wild beyond description.
Ti blatant, brutal Rogers, of Arkansas,
urging a trumpet of bi« bands,
yelled: " Mr. Speaker, the Force bill is
defeated in the Senate!"
iu an instant all the Democrats were on
r feet bowling and giving vent to the

necessity to filliboater.
This is the hardest blow the Elections
bill ba* yet received and it is difficult to
ay whetherit will recover or not. If the
Republicans should set a majority, they
will lone no time in calling the measure np
but it ia doubtful if they will ever
■-cure that majority again. Seuators Al
drich and Hoar express themselves as very
much disconraged at the conduct of pro
le, ed Republicans.
The congressional delegation from Penn-
Ivania is almost unanimous in ita con
duftinatkm of Senator Cameron's vote to
<!av, Home of the members are outspoken
v., their indignation, and have no hesitancy
in making their opinion* public.
Mr. Dauell said this evening- "I cannot
jegard Senator Cameron's action as any
thing but a betrayal of hi* party. On the
two great questions of the day, the Elec

The Silver BUI.
Week before la«t the United Suus Sen
ate parsed what is called the Free Coinage
or rilver bill, the gist of which is as fol
lows:
Section 1. provides for the coinage of
dollars of 4124 grains of silver,or 25 &-10ths
jsraiiw of gold, the same to be legal tender
for all debts, public and private; and that
the owner of any silver or gold bullion can
deposit the same at any mint of the Unit
ed States, the same to be coined for him
free of charge.
Sec. 2, revive* acd continue* part of the
old law regarding silver certificates. Sec.
3, makes the certificates redeemable in
coin, Sec. 4, makes the certificates a legal
tender, and See. 5, gives the owners of de
posited bullion the option of taking coin or
certificates in exchange for it.
The first section places the ratio"of gold
to silver at 1 to 16, whereas in the market
it U about 1 to 20, and this would make
the silver dollar worth about 80 cents, as
compared to a gold dollar, and as the coin
age provided for includes the silver of the
world—an amendment restricting it to the
product of our own mines, having been
defeated —and as it means a practically un
limited and free coinage of such silver dol;
lara, making the United States a forced
buyer of all the silver bullion in the world
at an advanced price, it sun is to reason
that gold would be driven out of circula
tion in this country, that silver would ap
preciate in value here, and that the busi
ness of the country would have to be plac
ed on a new basis.
The Western Senators, in their argu
ments for the bill, said it would help the
Western farmers, but as it does not and
cannot change real values, as no man can
secure money without giving an equivalent
for it, and as it would be no easier for any
man to secure ten dollars worth 80 cent*
each than eight dollars worth 100 cents
each, we fail to see any truth in their ar
guments. Many good reasons are given
against tbe bill, but we have yet to hear
or read one sensible argument in its favor.
Study it as you may, and you will see
nothing in it but a tremendous speculation
for tbe owners of tbe silver mines, and
persons wbo bought silver bullion expect
ing a raise in its value.
All tbe Republican members of the Sen
ate, representing States east of the Missou
ri river voted against the bill, excepting
Mr. Cameron of thia State. Then a news
paper correspondent, from some reliable
information.be bad received, charged that
certain Senators and members were per
sonally interested in the success of the
bill. An investigation followed, and the
very first man caught is our own dear Sen
ator Cameron. It was proved before the
committee that while the bill was pending
before tbe Senite, he purchased 100,000
ounces of Calcutta silver, and be has him
self acknowledged the evidence to hp cor
rect.
This exposure is on u par with that of
the army contractu of 1861, and it again
demonstrates the principle* of the
prlest of the "machine" of thin State arid
also those of the gentleman in holy writ,
who sold his Master for the thirty pieces of
silver.
On Monday of thin week Senator Cam
eron by again voting with the Democrat.*
tnrneJ the scale against the proposed
Clotnre rule, thereby shelving the Election
bill, which he had promised to support at
Harrisburg, and if be is not deliberately
stabbing the party that ban honored biui
and hi* father with one of the highest
office* in its gift for over a quarter of a
century, hi* action* greatly belie him.
Quay made enough trouble for us, but
this fellow seems to be utterly void of all
principle, shame or gTatitude. And wliat
are we going to do about it? Next jear
we again nominate candidate* for Assem
bly and State Senate, and let your ques
tion tc ;very aspirant for legislative hon
ors be "Who and what are you fort'' let
o* make one more effort to rid the party in
the State of a *y»tem of politic* that i* a
disgrace to us and has bronght us into re
proach all over the continent.
The politic* of the State and Country
will shape themselves during the year, so
that we will know what to do, and in tbr
meantime it would please 99 out of every 100
Republicans in the State if President Har
rison would take the beads off those Feder
al office holders who aided *o materially in
securing Cameron'* re-election. Uis re
sentment. a* shown to the two State Sena
tors who called upon him to secure an ap
pointment was just and righteous and a con
tinuance of the same will be unanimously
approved of by the rank and file of the Re
publican party ol the State.
Press Opinions.
A betrayed cau*e —Mr. Cameron has si*
year*.—Pittsburg Time,*.
Senator Cameron's explanation of his
silver speculation is a virtual confession
that he traded on hi* knowledge or belief
that the price of the metal would be en
hanced by the pas/age of the Silver bill.—
Pittsburg Telegraph.
Senator Cameron not onlv gave bis own
testimony in support of the charge that be
lias been speculating in silver while pro
moting legislation to enbanco its market
value at the expense of the Government,
but be also showed by hi* action in the
Senate that he i* still in firm adherence to
the combination between the silver ring
and the Democrats. The motion involved
the fate of the closure rule and the Fed
eral Elections bill, and in the division
Senator Cameron definitely took hi* posi
tion on the Democratic side,—Pittsburg
Gazette.
Like master, like man. J. Donald
Cameron has no opinions concerning legis
lation to express at Washington; those who
have re-elected birn Senator have no views
for publication regarding bis silver invest
ments.—Phil'a Pre**.
It is a humiliating thought that Penn
sylvania munt, for a full Senatorial term
continue to be misrepresented by a man
who is so indifferent to the sentiment of his
constituents; who so fur forgets the de
cency rad obligation of bis positlou u* to
make merchandise of hi* vote and spec
ulate on the results of bis official action;
who has no qualities which lend strength
to the Republican party, credit to the
State, honor to himself or assistance to hi*
associate* in party councils.—Erie /'<*
patch.
Perhaps Don Cameron did nothing wrong
when he speculated in silver, but in that
case why did he want the fact kept a
secret until he bad been re-elected Sena
tort—Kansas City Time*.
Unless Wenator Cameron can contradict
Dialer's testimony, the Pennsylvania boss
should be a* unanimously expelled from
the Senate as he was recently elected to it.
For a Senator to make his vote on a pub
lic measure an aid to a private speculation
of bis own 1* a shame too intolerab'e for
any honorable legislative body to endure.
The man who does such a thing is dis
graced as surely and scandalously as if he
had accepted a direct bribe in money.—

Dreadful Mine Explosion.
By an explosion of gas at the Mammoth

County, at 'J o'clock Tuesday morning,
110 men were killed. Sixty bodies, have
been recovered. The mine is on fire and
it is believed tbe unfortunate dead w ill be
ere..- uted before it is possible to reach them.
An army of men are at work in the pit en
deavoriiig to stay the fire and recover the
dead bodies. They are making little bead
way however.
The other bodies taken from the mines
are so horribly mutilated thai they cannot
be identified." Tbe bodies as tbey were
carried out wert taken to one of the com
pany houses where they were prepared for
burial Undertakers from Greensburg.

looking after the dead. A car load of
coffins was received that evening.
One hundred and ten men were employ

explosion occurred and not one was left to
tell the story of the disaster. Not more
than 50 men were killed by the explonion.
The others were overcome by the after
damp. While some of the bodies were
horribly burned, torn and mutilated,others
wei. found with their teeth clenched on
the iron rail of tbe pit road. Other* were
found with their faces plunged into the
water. Not a few knelt as if in prayer
when their untimely end tame.

Recollections of Butler; or Fifty Years
Ago.
(Comtimmed.)
DOROAL LOTS.
ED. CITIZES: —The two lots of the late
Mr. David Dongal are so well-known to
even our present citizens as to be easily
located. The rapid change that has come
over them within the past few years is a
subject of general remark. When Mr.
Dougal died, but a little over nine years
ago, they were covered with small frame
buildings, generally called "shanties.
Now they are covered with some of the
largest and finest brick buildings in the
town. Mr. Dougal bought them at the
original -ale of loU in Butler. 1803, and
held on to them to his death. Nov. 8. 1881.
No change of ownership in them took place
in all this time, which, perhaps, cannot be
lai 1 of any < thorof the original lots of Butler.
Mr. Dougal in this respect may be said to
have been the nearest —or latest—connect
ing link between the present and the
original town. Certainly no one survives
him in this respect. He waif the last of
the very early and first citizens.
The new brick Scbenck block stands
upon the Diamond end of one of these lots.
This was lot No. 1 in the original plan of
lots and is said to have been bid in by Mr.
Dougal at the sum of ?100. Now it is
probable that *20,000 could be got for it if
without a building on it, and with its
present half dozen or more new large bricks
its aggregate value now would exceed
*CX),OoO. The first building we recollect of
seeing where Schenck one now stands was
a low irame, on corner, said to have been
erected by the late John and Peter DufTy
as their first store house in BQtler
here we might remark that the hou-es
upon Mr. Dougal's lots were generally
built by others, and not by him, as is very
generally supposed. They were built by
persons to whom he gave ground lea.-es
and who no doubt at the time were glad to
get the privilege to build under a lea.-e.
Mr. Dougal built but little himself. This
-mall frame on corner in time gave way to
a larger log-frame, erected for a public
house and used as such for a number of
years and by different parties, among them
Michael Spohn and a man named Kobi
i-on. Our present Mr. illiarn Kichey
kept a restaurant and lived there for some
years. It was also often used by attorneys
ior law offices. The late Edward M.
Bredin, Esq., had his office there at one
time; al-o the late John Graham, Esq., and
others. Mr. Pringle was there for a while,
and the last store there we believe was
that of Mr. Elias Kirk. Before one of its
tenants of about 40 years ago bad left it he
had papered one of its rough-boarded
rooms with common wall paper, and, to
illustrate Mr. Dougal's idea of improve
ments, he refused to let it be used for a
postoffice, saying, with some indignation,
to a newly appointed postmaster who ap
plied to bitn to rent it, ' Sir, do you think
I am a fool to let that fine room be de
stri»3'ed by a postoffice.' That settled it,
and the new postmaster, the late Mr.
Daniel Coll, had to look elsewhere for au
office.
Xext to tbi» last was a small frame; and
next to lliat and where our present post
ullice now stand*, Dr. livers' building, was
another small frame, erected by tlie late
Mr. Clark McPberrin, already referred to.
for his store room, more than fifty years
ago. Mr. McPberrin had lost both ol his
legs, at the knees, and notwithstanding
this made biui very short in stature he
moved about without crutches of any kind
ami with much rapidity, lie was an ac
tive business man and prominent in all
good works. Several followed him in this
house he built, among the first being the
late Jacob Ziegler and James McGlaughlm
with the bimo'iatir Herald, where that
paper, in 1842, was first established and
published. Mr. McGlaugblin having been
elected Protbonotary of the county in 1545,
the //- raid v a-continued there by a com
pany for two or three years, headed by the
late .Samuel (i. l'urvis, ivsq., father ol the
present l'urvis men. After this Mr. Mc
tilaughliu again, in connection with the
lata Mr. Cornelius Coll, published the
Herald tii'Te for a time. This Chirk Mc-
Pherrin building was also used as the post
office at otic time, and had for ils tenants
various other person* for various other ob
jects, u-itil Ur. lt>cr.4 became owner of the
ground and erei ted bin line building there.
Where Mr. Urmidoii's law oftice now ; h,
lower part of Dr. liyers' building, flood a
rjueetly constructed house, lived in, among
other . for some 3 ears by the lute Mr.
Thaddeu* Niggle, father of the present
Niggle men, who carried on there a bakery
and candy imp. This house, li!:e some
others on Mr. DoCgal's lots, hud but one
chimney in it, built in the center of the
bouse, with a lire place 011 every side to
accommodate all its rooms.
Where the I'.aijU printing office now
-taudK a frame one tood, lined often as a
dwelling, tailor shop, and other purposes.
Where William A. Forquer, Esq., baa
uow his inbrick r< oilence and ofDce
stood u frame, in which Mr. Dougal sUyed
and had his office for many years pre\ ious
to his going acro»,s the street to the one he
afterward t occupied. In this houno Mr.
Dougal would often receive his Pittsburg
friends,the lute Judges Wilson Mi-C'andlem
and William H, McClure, HOU. in-law of
Mrs. Collins,lor whoxe lands in this county
Mr. Dougal was the agent. They came
nearly every summer,notifying Mr. Dougal
in advance of their coining and who on
these occasions would spruce up a little in
his dre«4 in order to properly receive tin in.
They hud unlimited confidence in and ad
miration for Mr. Dougal aud liked to enjoy
h IM company at. all times possible.
OTIIKtt I,<>T.
K crows the t-trcet «H the other Dougal
lot, on which perhaps were more of the no
called shanticM than the other, until a dis
a-lrous fire, in 18fi4, burned down ull on
the lower end and to the Vogeley alley.
This lot. wa No. iu the, plan of original
lot- On it* Diamond end, where now
nlandft the new and fine brick block of the
M'-.-r*. Hu-eHon and Anderson, was the
Irani'- lore erected, about 1534, by the late
William S. and Henry X. Boyd. Thiswa
Mr William S. Boyd's first venture iu But
|er. With his brother Henry, until the
latter died, he kept, there > grocery and
restaurant, lie prospered rapidly in husi
lo--and finally bought and removed his
tore down to corner of Main and Jefferson
Siri i ts, building there, about 1850, the
brick now a part of the George Keilier
building;. Mr. lioyd was a very enter
pri-iug man and did much for Butler, lie
spent tiis latter years in laying out, IS7'J,
and improving present Hpringdale, a part
of his then farm, and alt who knew him
will feel regret that fin did not live to wit
lies* the great growth and present propor
tion of that part of our present town that
he linik so inu.-b internal in advancing. He
died iu ISM. Numerous persons occupied
afterward* the houiie ho built on the
Dougal corner, for tore aud other pur
pones, the late Mr. Hamuel Sykes and
family being among the last there. On
the Diamond and where now i* rear end of
liuselton building stood a small tailor shop
that we think near every tailor iu or about
town had h s hbop at one time. The late
Andrew (.'nrties, ex-Sheriff, elected in IS4H,
had his tailor shop there. Before this
Sheriff ('arm i was also engaged in the
mercantile liusinesa, in the Iloyd store,
and probably in connection with Mr. Boyd
for a time. The late James (ilcnn, Esq.,
alco had hitailor shop there, about 1H52,
which lie earried on in connection with tho
office of Ju.uce of the Peace w'.ich ho
then hold. Mr. Glcnu was tho falber of
the pre "-lit (il. uizena.
On ilaiu Street, aud where now Is the
fine and just new brick of Mr. J. F. Shaffer,
stood the celebrated little shanty u«ed to ,
long as a -'Squire*" Office." Within our j
recollection the late Samuel G. Puros,
Esq.. had bis J notice'* office there, com- j
mencing with his first election, IMS. and i
re-elected in 1 SSO. 1 1 S4> l and 1865. lie j
must have had hi> office there about 2" ,
rears, doing a great deal ot business. He
resigned the office souie years before he
died, in 1*79. The late J. G Muotz, Esq ,
also had his Justice'! office there, being
first elected in 1871. Mid then again 1*7(5.
He also did a laree as Justice in
this office, and was regarded by all as a
very correct and efficient magistrate.
Previous tn this, 1HIW«, the present
William S. Ziegler. K-q„ and others may
have had their offices there. Mr. Muntz
j died April 12. lfo«. He was followed by
the present Lewis P. ' alker, Esq.. who
had his Justice's office there until he re
moved it to the Brady building and from
there to present Forquer one.
The next to this »nd where present I. J.
McCandlestr fine brick now stands was the
small, narrow frame in which Mr. Dougal
lived from the time he crossed over the
street, spoken of. Here Mr. Dougal had
his office and lodged for about 30 years,
and until he went out to his farm in
Summit Twp., ISTDor ISSO, and where he
died, Nov. 8, 1881. Much that has been
said and written about this office ot Mr.
Dougal, and bis habits there, we think,
does him great injuitice. It was not the
most cleanly plac. and might have been
called somewhat dirty, or dusty rather, at
times, but to say tkat anything like bad
odors came from it, we think, is not
correct. And Mr. Dougal. while careless
and indifferent aa to bi> dress, was by no
means a dirty man in his habits. His fur
niture in his room waivery scant, a,.d his
books, maps and papers, although very
valuable, were in his late days often laying
around Ta'.bcr loose and dusty. But his
bed was the only real novelty. For some
reason he discarded t*e .common bedstead
and in place thereof ®<*de one for himself.
This consisted, at head and foot, of some
old chairs or boxes, .-tretcbing from which
were poles or what looked like common
fence rails. Upon these he Lad two large
fer.tber beds, between which he slept. If
not the most cleanly locking at all times
they doubtless were very comfortable.
Why lie used such a l*d is a question, but,
we think, the real solltion of it is that he
wanted a solid, unyielding bottom to his
bed. It is well-known that the old bed
cords—ropes—would •ink in time, or often
get loose, and Mr. Dougal, may be, did
not fancy being ,<ut in a hole, in that way.
Of modern prings and mattresses he prob
ably had not heard. His manner or sleep
ing may also have been acquired from
early habits of life, and as a surveyor
among the early settlers, in the log cabins
of those day.
Mr. Dougal took bis meals or
ix>urded out among hi* many tenant*,many
ol in that way paying their rent.
The next, and *here tbe New York
Bazaar building now tands, was a queerly
constructed low brick, in which Mr. James
A. Shanor bad his shoe and candy shop for
quite a time. It was shed-like in shape
and built by Mr. Dongal from the brick
gathered up and remaining from the great
fire, 1804, that bum', down all bis build
ings from there down to \ ogeley alley.
The buildings burned by that fire stood
where the Bazaar, Mrs. Gilkey and the
present Ketterer ine buildings now stand.
They were frame and occupied for offices,
-bops, etc. One, the lower one, was where
the Repository newspaper was la.-t publish
ed, by the late David Shannon, John Little
and Joseph McMurtrie. The Ueponilory
C'j-'-d its existence there and with them,
Esq., bad the postoflice there when he was
postmaster, 1848. Tbe late Mr. George
Miller, father of Harvey and brothers, had
his cabinet making salesroom there about
iho time it was burnt down. No buildings
were erected on this burnt district, except
the James Shanor one, until the present
one* recently erected by Mr. K"tterer and
the late Mrs Gilkey.

The Philadelphia Press
Man won the foremost place among Penn

aud the completeness with which it record*,
day by day, the life of the city, Mate anil
country.
11h field in world-wide, and its «tufr, its
pecial correspondents, so many and well
organized, its source of news HO numerous,
that it appeals to u wider constituency
than any other newspaper ever published
in Pennsylvania.
"THE J'KEHS," said one of the man
agers of the Western I'nion Telegraph
Company, "n«iw receives more telegraphic
news than nII the other I'liihtih l/'liiu new*
jitiprm ri>mhin<<l." This statement is nu
thorativo and conclusive,and THE I'KIiSS
presents ai ilaily witnesses to its truth, its
twelve to twenty-four bright and interest
ing pages.
Hut it is not only by its news enterpiise
-by the zeal, energy, and integrity of its
reporters and correspondents that TUN
I'liESb has won and held the confidence
of its many thousands of readers, rep
r<-cnting every age and eyery condition of
life, every trade and every profession,
every faith anil every political opinion. It
is the excellence and varied interest of
THE I'KESSusa general family journal,
appealing to women us well us to men,
which liavo made for it so many friends at
home,and extended its reputation through
out the country. It prints every import
ant event of the world's progress.
The printing of news is always its first
business, but its columns are also enriched
by contributions from the most gifted
special writers, the most famous novelists,
and some of the most eminent puldiu men
of the time. The literary engagements al
ready inade for 1801, probably surpass in
number and variety, and nearly equal in
cost, any contemporary magazine, for the
field and resources of MI LI a newspaper as
Til IS I K ESS made it not only a daily
historian, but u daily forum and a daily
tribune.
Its steadily growing profits and its stead
fast constituency not only demand, but
insure progress. The greatest authors, as
well as the brightest news correspondents,
find their largest prolits derived from and
I'ent: yhania newspapers, as well lis their
best I'ennsylvania audience, in DAILY,
SI NK \ V. and WEEKLY PRESS.
I n politic Til E I'KESS is Republican,
but it knows no other master than the
pcoplv who.ie rights, aspirations, and
needs it always defends. It has no enemie.
to puni. h, no individual political ambitions
to foster or promote, ami is subservient to
no politician or clique. Faithful to the
-real body of readers and voters, whom It
truly represents, it promotes its own in
terest and influence by faithfully Uphold
ing their. Its editorial opinions are fear

n always impartial. In its puge* the
tin- workingmen finds as ready audience as
the capitalist. To all commercial and
industrial progress, to the best through
and best action in every sphere of human
enterprise, it accord* a generous and en
