At Washington, Thursday, there was some talk of Penrose resigning, and Gov. Stone api>ointing Quay in his place but there was nothing of it. The Pittsburg Times correspondent said that the Quay people are still very bitter against Senators Vest and Hanna. So far as the former is concerned, he merely kept his record on such cases straight, and the claim that his vote would have seated Col. Quay is not based upon a knowledge of all the facts in the case. Senator Pettigrew, of South D.ikota, did not yote, but it is well known that, had Mr. Vest voted for Quay, Pettigrew would have voted against him and the result would have been unchang ed. The same state of affairs existed with regard to Senator Clark, of Mon tana. Had he voted to seat Col. Quay, Senators Spooner and Chandler, and in all probability Senator Lodge also, would have voted against him. Quay was bound to have been beaten, no matter how Vest or Clark had voted. The sen ators most criticized here are Davis, of Minnesota, and Cullom. of Illinois, being the most prominent who reversed their records on a purely constitutional question for personal reasons, and voted to seat Col. Quay. They have fallen decidedly in the general estimation. If it be true that Senator Carter, of Montana, another of those who changed front on the question, is threatening that the Shipping bill will be defeated in revenge for Senator Hanna voting against Quay, it only shows what a "cheap skate" he really is. The Ship ping bill is before Congress to carry out an official repeated pledge in Republican National platforms, and when men like Mr. Carter try to defeat their party on a National question l<ecause some senator dared vote against one of their personal friends, they will speedily feel the weight of popular indignation. Senator Hanna never promised to vote for Col. Quay. On the contrary, from the very first he said it was a purely constitutional question and that he intended to be guided in voting on it solely by his ideas of what was its proper solution. " Gn Friday an effort was made to fix a time for a yote on the Clark case, but Clark's friends played for delay: Henry Hall writing to the Times said there is an aftermath in the Quay case in the differences which have arisen between senators from certain states over the way they voted. In North Dakota, Senator Hansbrough voted to seat Col. Quay, while his colleague. Senator McCnmber, voted against him. This seems to have made Hansbrough very angry and he is reported to be cir culating a letter in which McCumber is alleged to have promised to vote for Quay. In his speech Mr. McCumber stated that when he first read the con stitutional provision relative to senator ial vacancies, he had thought that the word "hapi>en" was equivalent to the word "occur" and that the word "other wise" included all possible causes of va cancy. A closer analysis of the clause, however, and a study of the debates in the constitutional convention, had led him to change his earlier views. It is possible, therefore, tliatSenator McCnm ber did at first indicate an intention to vote for Col. Quay. It is well known that all the new senators were approach ed in Col. Quay's interest as soon as Congress met, and possibly earlier. They were not given any time to con- 1 sider the case or permitted to await the committee's action, but every effort was made to have them blindly commit themselves to the Quay side. The Mississippi senators, Money and : Sullivan, are reported to Is; decidedly on the outs over the Quay case. Money voted against seating, while Sullivan 1 voted for it, following his purpose de- 1 clared last fall before Congress met. 1 This shows how much consideration ] he gave the case before announcing how I he would vote. It is stated that Sulli- < van, in defending himself against 1 Money's criticisms, is circulating ex- i tracts from a speech made in the House < some years ago by R. P. Kennedy, He 1 publican, formerly lieutenant governor 1 of and representative from Onio, in < which Kennedy made a somewhat sen- 1 sational attack npon Col. Quay, chartt- ] inj£ him. anions other things, with 1 being responsible for the defeat of the ( bill to regulate Federal elections, com monly called the "Force bill." Tin* ] South was very bitterly opj»ose(l to this measure and it will be remembered that 1 when Representative J. C. Sibley came to Harrisburg during the senatorial i deadlock in lbW. and tried to indnce the 1 Democratic members to vote for Quay, I he brought letters from Senators Vest, I Tillman, and Blackburn, in which tliey | urged the members to do this, if tliey 1 could not elect Jenks, and gave as a I reason the fact that Quay had. opposed 1 the "Force bill." There was also a story that Senators Srwell and Kean of New Jersey, had quarreled over the latter's pairing against Quay, but Mr. Kean denies it. He says that Gen. Sewell wanted him to vote the other way, but that there has lieeu no qua rrel between tliem be cause he did not accede to his wishes in the matter. IT is amusing to men, who for years have advocated the election of President and United States Senators by the popu lar vote, to now see the Quay papers 1 advocating the same. But they don't mean it. By the popular vote it is not likely that Quay nor the Cam* rons be fore him would ever have held seats in the U. S. Senate chamber. Notice.

Butler is 30 miles long, and 25 broad, containing 40t>, acres. It is bounded N. by Venango, N. W. by Mercer. W. by Beaver, E. by Arm strong, and S. by Alleghany county. In 1800. it contained :J,91-5 free persons, and 1 slave. The principal creek is the Cannaughqnenesing, and its tributary streams, which water a considerable part of the county. The Auxiliary streams of several other creeks, which fall into Allegheny river, have their sources in the S. E. and E. parts of the county. Although the lands are hilly, and broken, in many places, there are some rich valleys, interspersed in dif ferent parts of the county. For the representatives, see Beaver. It gave, in 1805, on the election of governor, votes. Townships. 1800. Population. Free Per. Sla.

Centennial, Dear Sir: The former citizens of Butler county, now residing ift Allegheny county, are taking a lively interest in the prepara tions for celebrating the 100 th anniver sary of the erection of Butler county. Allow me to suggest that iu my judg ment it will to a useless task to under take to send invitations to the Butler county people now residing elsewhere. It is impossible to get them all, and un less you get all or nearly so it would be better to send none. Th" newspapers have already carried the news to them, scattered as they are through nearly every state and territory in the nation. I am doing my best to send some in teresting relics of the olden time. My grandfather, Joseph Blakeley. bought a settlement right from Adam Johnston for a tract of land in Forward twp. on which he located in 1794. There were, as I heard him say, no doctors nearer than Pittsburg, bat the women folks cured nearly all ordinary diseases with herbs, but they could not manage the toothache, esjjecially when the tooth was "far spent". So he sent to Pitts burg for the instrument used for pull ing teeth in that day. After waiting quite a while it came, and he soon aft r wards got an improved one and used them, pulling teeth for the people in the country around for many years. My nephew, Dr. U. L. Cookson, of Gallery, has these instruments now, curiosities thev are. and will have them in hands of your Committee. I also send yotrto day a Geographical History of Pennsylvania, published in 18IH(, in which yon will find a descrip tion and statistics of Butler county, which I request you to publish for the information of ail and return the book to me, as I will need it before your Cen tennial, but will send it out in my col lection then. You will find Butler 011 page 1 H-l It may surprise some people to learn that at one time Butler county had one slave, held by some good chris tan man or woman in Middlesex twp. Yours truly, ARCHIBALD BLAKELEY. Letter from Simeon Nixon. Los Angeles, Cal., 1 April 20, 1900. ( JOHN H. NEGLEY, ESQ., Dear sir: I have been thinking of old times . -id finding this list* of many you know. I send it to you, and hope there are ma ny of them preserved as there were two thousand of them published but how soon these things are lost. I think you would enjoy reading it over once and fearing vou had no copy I send yon this. MePberrin Sullivan and Thos. Martin were my right hand men in encourage ing me to publish this list and now they are both dead. I hope you will live to enjoy the .Tune Celebration, and am sorry I cannot be with you. And how sad I feel that Hamell. Renfrew, Mitchell, McCrea and others could not haye stayed a lit tle longer. I sent, my grandfather's almanac (126 years old) to A. E. Reiber as my exhib it. The purpose of this little advertise tisement was to call the attention of the living to the fact that Butler's old com mons (as it was called) which would have made a small park and would have added to the health and beauty of the town, had been sold and built up, and it was the opinion of many that this last resting place of our dead should be respected and made into a park. 1 feel glad that such was the decision of the courts and of the people, and to day I feel like returning my thanks to all whose adv. appears on the list, and to all our old citizens who rallied to the defence of the first grave yard in But ler. One of these lists might be tacked up at the old cemetery during the Cele bration. I close, for tongue cannot tell, or pen describe, the ties that bind us to the past, nor the wonders and hopes for the unknown future; but let us honor our fathers and mothers upon this occasion, and long live their memory. SIMEON NIXON. •The "list" that Mr. Nixon refers to in the above is a list he procured of l lie dead in the old burial lot on McKeau street, that had not been removed there from ;i f the time he made sit id list.
