The Act of Assembly proyid ing for a vote on the qneetion of a Consti tutional Convention not being generally known throughout the oounty, we deem It proper to stale for the information of the voters of Butlar county that there will be five separata ballots to be voted at the coming election, as follows: Ist. A ballot containing the names of candidates for Auditor General and State Treasurer, headed "State." 2d. A ballot "For" or "Against" a Con stitutional Convention. 3d. A ballot containing the names ofthe candidates for ' 'Delegatee-at-Large" to the proposed Convention. 4th. A ballot containing the names of candidates for "District Delegates" to the proposed Convention. sth. A ballot containing the name of candidate for Jury Commissioner, headed "County." Each of the above ballots mast be folded separately. Each voter can vote for no more than eighteen candidates for Dele- Stes- at-Large and no more than two oandi tes for Dinriot Delegates to the propos ed Convention. The Act of Assembly provides that any ballot containing a greater number of names than therein pro vided for, shall be rejected. ryGo to the polls next Tuesday. Qo to the Polla. Next Tuesday is election day, and all good citisens should go to the polls—if for no other reason than that their votes are needed against the proposition to bold another Constitutional Convention. Remember that the proposition is not to amend tHfe Constitution, as some think,but to turn the whole thing over to a conven tion elected under extraordinary circum stances—snoh oirenmstanoes as have pre vented the best man, all over the State, from thinking of being candidates. Vote the small slip of paper containing the words "Against a Constitutional Con vention" and upon which the law forbids any other inscription. HTGo to the polls next Tuesday. THK Senatorial investigation at Harris bnrg aeemt to have degenerated into a mere partisan squabble, in which the Dem ocratic Senators appear as prosecutors and the Republican Senators as defenders of Treasurer Boyer. As far as evasion of doty is ooncerned tbe ease against. Treas urer Boyer seems as clear as the light of day, bnt be was bnt following in the steps of his predecessors, and for that reason will probably be exensed by the Repnblioan members of the Senate.

A Misleading Argument. "The Journal of the Knights of Labor," published at Philadelphia is the "official journal of the order" and what appears in it editorially of an advisory character to the members oi the order as to their poli tical action on any current politioal sub ject is or should be as near correct as hu man capacity and knowledge, combined with striot integrity can make it At the bead of its editoral column it keeps standing in type the following verse: God, give us men! A time like this de mands Strong minds, great hearts, true foith and hands: Men whom the lust for office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor: men who will not lie. Which every honest citisen of this Com monwealth will enthusiastically endorse. Our attention, however, has been called by a member oi the Order to its loading editorial of last week, whioh is headed "Vote for a Constitutional Convention," and which, upon examination we find to be so misleading and fallacious as to oall for contradiction. The writer asserts that the Constitution al Convention is "essentially their own measure," whioh may be true so far as the present leadership of the order is concern ed; and then he goes on to make a plea for tbe "secrecy" of the ballot, speaks of the ballot numbering clause of the Constitu tion as infamous, asserts that "every office holder in the Btate, Democratic or Repub lican, is either openly opposed to the mea sure (Constitutional Convention) or is se cretly scheming to defeat it;" puts fantas tic powers in the hands ~of tbe county Sheriffs; says "a member of the Legisla ture has the opportunity to scan their (his constituents) ballots;" says the "vest pocket voter" is sneered at, and many oth er things that are not worth answering for the reaEon that they are mere blinds to the real objects of tbe proposed conven tion. Our only wonder is that he does not bring in "female suffrage" as some of tbe Cameronites of this vicinity are now doing, or the "Australian ballot" as Chauncy Black did to a newspaper reporter the other day. But when the writer quotes from the re markably strong and vigorous "Railroad article" of the Constitution bo gets nearer home; and when he perverts the meaning and object of the section he quotes, he is guil - ty of an attempted imposition upon the rank and file of the order that should be expos ed. He quotes Section 10 of Article 1" of the Constitution, which reads as follows: SKC. 10. No railroad, canal or other transportation company, in existence a; the time of the adoption of this article, shall have the benefit of anv future legis lation, by general or special laws, except on condition of complete acceptance of all the provisions of this article. And holds it up to his readers as a de fect, aa a section that nullifies the whole Article, and places the coiporations thai existed previous to the adoption of the Constitution of which it is a part, "abovo the law," and "exempt from obedience to the requirements of the State Constitu tion," whereas that section is probably the most annoying of any in the-whole Consti tution to the aforesaid corporations, and whyt The Supreme Court of this State and also that of the United States, has decid ed, time and again, that a charter granted bv the Legislature to a corporation is a contract between the State and the corpor ation, that cannot be annulled or changed withont the consent of both parties to it. onleßß the charter is of a conditional char aoter or its provisions are yiolated. There are dozens of decisions on the subject ot both private and public corporations, but we will refer to bat one in the State re porta—Ahl vs. Rhodes 84 Pa. St. 319 "The Constitution of 1874 does not affect corporations holding under prior charter s, until they hare subjected themselves to it by accepting the benefit of subsequent leg islation;"—and the Constitution of the United States in Section 10 expressly for bids any State from passing an ex post facto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts; and if the Constitutional Con vention of 1873 had attempted to annul all the charters in existence in this State at that time, and our State Supreme Court had upheld them in so doing, such action would have undoubtedly brought about a conflict between the State and National authorities; and so the convention did the next best thing; it deprived the old cor porations of the "benefit of any future leg islation by general or special laws, except on condition of complete acceptance of al> the provisions of this article," But at the same time every citizen of this Common wealth and every corporation in it, is to day subject to the limitations and restric tions of its general laws, and entitled to its protection, 'Were it otherwise, were these corporations standing alone and apart —a law unto themselves —as this writer states, what right would any ol them to have to call for State aid if attack ed by a mob as the P. R. R- Co. was in Pittsburg in 1877, and what right would they have to collect damages forthe doings of aach mobs, as the same company did from Allegheny county. The law officers of tha State, under such circumstances, would say "You are supreme, protect and defend yourselves," and they would have no recourse.' On the proposition to hold a Constitu tional Convention, we expressed ourselves in M forcible language as wo conld com mand nearly four months ago, or a few weeks after Governor Pattison signed the bill, and if the writer of the article we have been criticising is as honest as the article is fallacious he would have given it to bis readers long ago. The law creating an election for the pur pose of determining, whether or no, there should be another Constitutional Conven tion, and also at the samo time requiring the election of delegates to the convention it one of the most contemptible tricks ever played upon the people of this State by their alleged Representatives in Assembly; there was no necessity for it, and there waa no call for it, excepting from the labor organisations, which in this matter seem to have been duped by their leaders into aiding the very corporations they pretend to be antagonising. ryOo to the polls next Tuesday.

"TO THB OKKNOWJ* DBAD." At Allegheny Churcli Cemetery, Satur day, Oct. 24th, was the date for the dedi cation that had been arranged by the ap pointed delegates of Farmington, Emlen ton. Poxbnrg and Parker Posts, G. A. K. The weather for the occasion was all that could be desired. Long before the ap pointed hour for the ceremonies to begin, hundreds of vehicles filled with the good oitiiens of the vicinity, also many on foot were wending their way toward the beau tiful cemetery which is excelled by none in this section. Emlenton, Parker, Farm ington and Foxbarg Posts with large dele gations of the W. R. C. from each placd were present. The lattor Post being ac companied by a martial band. After the usual fraternal greetings the procession was formed, being officered as follows, Grand Marshal, "Win. B. Ramsey; Coind'r, W. B. Sedwlck; S. V. Comd'r, C. W. Shan er; J. Y. Comd'r, Wise: Chaplain, Wm. J. Speer; Adjutant, Urian Sloan; Of ficer of the day, Jacob Diehl, and marched to the monument. Comrade J. P. Milford as the representative of the people of Al legheny Church Cemetery, presented to the G. A. R. Posts the beautiful monu ment, and by them to be dedicated for the sable purpose it is intended. On behalf and in the name of the veterans, Comd'r Sedwick accepted the shaft and proceeded with the sublime and impressive ceremon ies of the G. A. R. which were listened to with the utmost attention by the several hundred people present. Servicos at the monument being concluded an adjourn ment for lunch was taken. As if by magic the grounds surrounding the church wcro fillea with groups of from one to two dozen persons, many being invited to partako of the dainties and substantial that had been carefully prepared for the occasion, and bronght hither in well filled baskets, by those, faithful and thoughtful, for the com forts of a day's outing. Justice was done on each and every occasion as the writer has been informed at every group or spread. Lunch being over the martial band played several patriotic airs and were well received, after which everybody was invited into the church it being filled and all comfortabty seated, "America" was beautifully rendered by the choir. Rev. Crawford, of Emlenton, being intro duced delivered an impressive and patriot ic address, the speaker soon captured the sympathy of the audience and held their thoughts to the end of his remarks. "The Star Spangled Banner" was then sung by the choir. Rev. Collyer, of Farmington, being present was requested to address the meeting, to which he promptly replied by endorsing all that- had boen said by Rev. Crawford, also farther imploring the hearers to be patriotic, and improve by the lessons of the ceremonies of the day. Ou motion a vote of thanks was extended to the Revs. Crawford and Collyer for their assistance, followed bv a motion from them with thanks, for tho invitations to bo present on so patriotic an occasion. The choir rendered another suitable selection, during which time a collection was taken up ana devoted to the Foxburg Martial Band, who had very kindly offered their services voluntarily. Alter the meeting representatives of the several Posts met, and on motion extended the thanks and gratitude of the several Posts and their auxiliaries, the W. R. C., to everyone who directly or indirectly attributed toward the saccess of the dedication. The above mentioned monument or shaft is about twenty feet high, having on each of the four sides in raised letters the words, "To the Unknown Dead." It was built by Comrade Sedwick, Comd'r Farm ington Post, the materials were furnished by E. P. Thomas Esq., Sec'y of Allegheny Church Cemetery. JACOB DIBUL. The Supreme Court of Jfew York has approved of the "smashing" of Tilden's will. lyGo to the polls next Tuesday. HARRIS BURG. On Thursday of last week the inquiry as to the official actions of State Treasurer Boyer were continued by the Senate. Deputy Supd't of Public Instruction, J. Q- Stewart, was put on the witness stand and he seems to have contradict ed his statements of the previous day as to the Philadelphia school warrants; one day ho said he handed them to Borer and the next that he had mailed them to Bardsley, and his confusion made his evidence worth less. That afternoon Mr. Boyer s counsel. Shapley, offered all the evidence taken be fore the Legislative and Philadelphia in vestigating Committees, and it was accept ed, and the clerk began reading it and kept on reading it to emp'y benches and sleeping Senators till 10 p. m. On Friday the clerks finished reading the testimony, and a petition from York was presented to the Senate asking that certain magistrates of that town be indict ed with the Philadelphia magistrates. It was referred to the Governor who sent to York for information. Attt'y Gen'i Hensel announced that neither he or his Asst. Stranahan could be present on Monday, as they had to appear before the Supreme Court at Pittsburg to argue the Waller case. The Senate reconvened Monday after noon, during a thunder storm, and as soon as the reading of the testimony con cluded Senator Grady of Philadelphia read a resolution requiring that the Boyer case be argued by counsel before taking up Mc- Camant's case. Senator Ross objected, argued the absence of the Att'y Gen'l, and wanted to know what effort had been made to secure Bardsley as a witness. Senator Hall called for the report of the Sergant-at-Arras who bad been sent after Livsey, and who reported that he could not find him. The resolution providing for arguing Bojer's ease was postponed on account of the absence of a quorum, but was taken np at the night session and passed, and then a partisan debate on the subject of the jurisdiction of the Senate was brought on by a resolution introduced by Senator Ross, as follows: Whereas, the Senate having convened in extraordinary session, inspursuance of the proclamation of His Excellency, the Governor of the Commonwealth, to inves tigate whether there are reasonable causes existing for the romoval from office by the Governor of Thomas McCamant, Auditor General, and Henry K. Boyer, Treasurer, and other officials named in the proclama tion; and "Whereas, Kules of procedure have been adopted unamimonsly by the State where in the Senate has decided in rule 1 that "investigation shall be conducted the Senate in open session;" aud Whereas, In the adoption of the said rule the Senate has passed upon aud DECIDED ANY QUESTION of its jurisdiction in the premises, if any existed by assuming jurisdiction of the en tire subject, and in pursuance of its decis ion has proceeded to hear evidence, take testimony and investigate as to Henry K. Boyor and officials named. Therefore Resolved, That in order to arrive at as early a determination of the lacts as possir ble, and to avoid argument of technical questions now settled, that the question of jurisdiction cannot again be raised in the Senate, and it is not now open for dis cussion or consideration in this body. Senators Boss, Grady. Green, Gobin and Osborne were conspicious on the war of words; the Democratic Senators were outvoted, and the Senate adjourned with out having accomplished anything. When the Senate met Tuesday morn ing, Attorney General Hensel asked it to allow him to ask Mr. Boyer a few questions before argument began; several Republi can senators immediately spoke against granting the request, Boycr's council ask ed the Senate to rule that the case was closed; and a regular partisan squabble ensued, which ended in a resolution to admit the questions if they came strictly within Mr. Boyer's term of office. The first question related to inaccuracies in the Treasurer's report on the personal property tax which Mr. Boyer admitted and blamed on the clerks, and then came the question. "Did you know at the time of your elec tion as State Treasurer of Bardsley carry ing a balance of State money at the Key stono Bank or did you know of any arrange ment with any person to let this money stay there or know of anv arrangement to pay any money to Bardsley, M. S. Quay or any one else?" And then there was another commotion for Republicans know that the question refer red to a certain deposit of money in the defunct Keystone National Bank of Phila dolphin. by City Treasurer Bardsley, the certificate "of which was made payable to M. S. Quay and sent to that gentleman at Beaver. Chairman Watres ruled the ques tion out of order,but Mr. Boyer answered. "To all parts and portions of the questions, I emphatically answer, No." The certificate of deposit reads as follows —Philadelphia, Nov. 29, 1891. John Bards has deposited in this bank Eighty eight hundred and seventy seven dollars, paya ble to the order of himself on the return of this ccrt'ficate properly endorsed —U. M. Marsh. Cashier. And on the back it is en dorsed. Pay to the order of M. S. Quay. JOHN BARDSLEY. M. S QUAY. Pay to T. C Hutchison, Casbier, or order for collection account of Beaver Deposit Bank. Beaver, Pa. J. It. Harrab, Cashier. The certificate was found among the papers of the defunct bank, and Mr. Quay explains that it was made payable to him to refund money that be bad loaned to the Republican City Committee of Philadel phia during the campaign of tbatyear. Tuesday afternoon was taken up iu eu logizing the late Senator Mehard, and then the Senate adjourned till next morning. Two hours of Wednesday morning's ses sion were consumed in discussing the pro gramme for arguing Boyer's ease. The Attorney General objected to the po sition given him, but finally agreed to talk after both Shaply and Gilbert of the de fense; and Shaply began the argument on the question of Jurisdiction at 11:30 a.m., and continued till 6 p.m. barring the recess for lunch. His was a splendid effort, and it was said the Attorney General would auswer it in part by citing the case of Alderman Gil bright of Scran ton, for whose removal from office the Senate addressed the Gov ernor last winter. It is expected that the arguments will continue over to-day, and that then the Senate will adjouru until after the election. Senator Quay and Dave Martin held a conference in Pittsburg Wednesday night over the Keystone draff or certificate, and Quay produced his check for S9O(JO. to Martin, dated Oct. 31, 'B9, which, he as serts, was repaid to him by tbe Bardsley certificate of a month later. EX-CUIKP JUSTICES AONKW and Gordon are, by request, out in strong letteis against the proposed Constitutional Con vention, which they deem unwise, unnec essary and dangerous; and on the othor haud Grand Master Workman Terrence V.

A remarkable case is reporte d from Westmorland Co. For sometime past ob structions have been placed on a certain railroad in the lower part of that county, rnd a young man was watched and ca..ght in the act ot placing a telegraph pole over the track, and his excuse for so doing was that he wanted to see a wreck, "wanted to see 'em pile up , wanted to have some fun when got full. A dandy snake story comes from Law rence count}, as follows. Hon. Henry Edwards, ex-member of the legislature resides at Moravia, has received a severe shock from fright. C. H. Weeklly and L, P. Little were building a fence near Mr. Edward's home, when they were surprised to see the ex-member of the leg islature run down the road minus hat, coat, and vest and loudly calling for help. He was pursued by a mammoth hoop snake,.which was running or rather rolliDg after him. The reptile had its tail in its mouth and was rolling along hoop fashion. Little and Weekly succeeded in killing it. The snake measured exactly 5 feet 9 inches in length, bnt its body was not much thicker than a man's finger. Near the end ol the tail was a horn-like allsir, which is said to be the reptile's means of defense. This horn was inches in length and its sting is certain death. The snake has been preserved in alcohol. In the Criminal Court of Allegheny Co., last Saturday morning, Judge Ewing senten ecd Patrick Fitzpatrick to be hung by the neck until he was dead for killing Samuel Earley. When the Judge .asked Fitzpatrick, if he had anything to say. he replied. "T have only to say, Your Honor, that I did not have a fair trial. I had no friends here, if I bad I think I could have made ont a different case. I have been in Pittsburg six or eight years, aud dur ing that time I have been a hard, working man. It was drink that done it. Ido not remember anything about what happened. It was the drink that did it, not me. lam sorry lor what I done, aud I regret the death of Samuel Earley. It was drink that done it. I havo nothing more to say. Then Lucy Fiusimnions was called lor sentence and asked it she had anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon her, and surprised the audience by saying. "1 can only say that I am inno cent, aud that f was unjustly convicted. I knew nothingof my husband'sbusiness.and knew nothing of tho purpose of those men when they came to the hoaso. - ' She was sentenced to the penitentiary for eight years.

Heck invites oil curious people to make a voyage of discovery to his store and see the Urvjest store, the largest stork of clothing—in Overe ats, and Suits for men, buys and children, Hats, Caps, Gloves, Mitts, Shirts, Uuder wetir, Cordigau-Jackets. Leather Coats and Pants, Overall-Jaekets, Trunks, Valises, Umbrellas, Rubber-Co*ts, Collars, Cuffs, Ties, Hdkts, Mufflers, Brushes, Purses, Bill a' d Pocket-Books. Ladies and Gents' Watches, Chain- Charms, Kings, Pin-, Sleeve and Collar Buttons, Silver C ard-Cases, and a full line of Notions—at remarkably low prices; no matter how low you have been offered goods we have theta still lower and for quality we never take a back «e»t. It will be to your personal advantage to give us an early call and get our prices, and yoa'are sure to give us a large share of jour pat roußge hereafter.
