TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1818. '
The House of Representatives at Harris.
burg last week passed a bill increasing the
pay of jurors to two dollars per day.
LUst Tuesday the bill extending the time
for the commencement of the construction
of• the Jersey Sher; Pine Creek and Buffalo
Railroad was passed-by the Rouse at Har
riabur!.
Thalewer house of the , Legislature last
- Thursday passed an act making an addi
tional appropriation to enable the orphans
of soldiers to attend the State Normal
tehools.
Both houses of the Legislative .have
adopted the excellent rule that all private
- bills relating to matters wherein the courts
have jurisdiction shall not be considered,
And the Speakers have been instructed to
strike all such bills from the calendars.
Foreign telegrams inform us that a de.
structhe earthquake occurred at the city of
Lehree, , in therlterritory of Scinde, India,
last week, resulting in the destruction of
about five hundred lives and a vast amount
; 11
f property. About the same time another
tastrophe of the same nature took place
in the lEland of Samos, Greece. .
The country is indebted— to President
Grant for promptly checking an attempt to
deplete the national treasury. A• few days
since he vetoed a bill passed by Congress
granting to the East Tennessee University
payment for property lost during the war.
It no doubt seems hard to refuse to pay loyal
men for such losses; but to pay them would
simply bankrupt the nation. We believe
.no GOVernment ever yet undertook to pay
such claims, and it is certain that our own
Will never be able to do so.
The scheme fur dividnit the county on
the vest and removing the county seat has
,blown up even earlier than we expected it
would. Last week the leaders of. the peti-
tioners and-of the remonstrants assembled at
Barrisburg, when it was found that the vo
ters remonstrating were about twice the
number' of those petitioning'. The result
was the complete rout of the advocates for
those 'gentlemen came home
last Friday night feeling very glum and sad.
And so endeih the latest "dream of em
pire" at the "commercial center." '
One of the bills which out . county-di:it'd
ers intended to pass, if they could, provided
for bonding Tioga township and Tioga bor
ough in the sum of $40,000 do put up new
county buildings at the latter place! Is this
the " magnanimity" that we heard aboht a
few days ago? How do the taxpayers of
that region like the quality of the article?—
It's none of our funeral; but we can't help
feeling a little sad when we reflect on the
vanity of human' promises. Where are
those munificent gentlemen who were so
anxious to pay for new county buildings?—
Where is last May's dew? Alas! for the
days—and the promises—that are no more!
The people of Philadelphia ask the State
to give one million of dollars toward the
Centennial Celebration to take place in that
citY in 1876. Last Thursday a bill was re
ported by Mr. Mitchell, of the Committee
of Ways anil Means in the HouSe, appro
priating the sum of five hundred thousand
dollars for that purpose. .When it waacon
sidered in committee of the whole it was
negatived, 26 voting for the bill and 65
against it. The vote was afterward recon
sidered, dad the mutter postponed until next
Thursday. If the celebration is to be aided
ky , ale State, we should like to see it done
generously; but it seems to us this is a!pretty
large sum to pay for Philadelphia's whistle.

%The Representative of Tioga county
Hon. John I. Mitchell, is evidently taking
leading position in the Bouse. But he is
s not so engrossed with general business as to
forget or neglect the more 19ca1 interests of
his constituents. A few days since he intro
duced a bill supplementary to the act to . 4 m
corporate the Susquehanna Boom bOmpany.
We understan 1 this is to reduce the boom.
age from $1 2 to 00 cents. lie also intro
duced a bill tb authorize the board of school
directors of this district to borrow money,
and to levy and collect tales for the pur
pose of erecting suitable school buildings.
This mas referred to the Co - romittee on Er
ucatiilm. We shall watch its progress with
° great'intercst. Another bill introduced by
him is entitled an salty prohibit the keep
lag of billiard rooms,' bowling saloons, and
ten-pin alleys within two miles of the State
Normal School at Mansfield.
It seems that the county-division schemers
vork.in Potter county vtry much in the
same . rsvay they do here. The Journal says
that the arguitient used there is that by cre-
ating a new county the county seat will be
brought near everybody. This is the way
they talk:
Men from Harrison say, "We are in fa
vor of the division; it will bring the county
seat within eight or ten miles of us." "But
howP" " Why, Westfield, which is to be
the capital of the new county, is only that
far from us." Men from West Branch and
Pike my, "We want the change made be
cause it will bring us within a few miles of
the county seat, which is to be at Gaines."
And-men from Abbott and Steciardson say,
" We shall favor the. project, fpr we are told
there is a strong probability tliat the county
seat will be at Germania."
This is -no fancy sketch, but the actual
report that Comes from these various sec
tions. Thus the county seat of the pros
pective-county is mounted on wheels, as it
were; and carried around to each section fur
the people to contemplate; meantime a rie
tition in favor of the plan is tacked on the
rear end. Men look at the one and say,
"Well, it's u pretty good thing to have in
the neighborhood," and walk up and sign
the other, when the " machine" moves on.
By-and-by, if the scheme carries, some bod
ies are going to find themselves "sold."—
But It won't be the two or three big specu
lators who are at the bottom of the thing,
nor the half-dozen small politicians who
are working it O.—Potter Journal.
The Constitutional Convention has deci
ded to amigo the time of holding our State
electiops so tht4 hereafter they shall take
place at the same time as the Presidential
and Congressional elections; that is to say,
on the first Tuesday after the first Monday
of November. ,It as further provied that
all city had township elections shal lbe held
on the ibir4 . •Tuerklay of Webruary. These
change's are to be desired,- , and should be
ratified by • the people. The evils arising
from our present pyst4m'Are very apparent.
To say - nettling of the extra expense involved
in holdipg two elections every other year,
it must.be . admitted that the political effects
of the practice are not of the healthiest na
ture. Each year - when the two elections
occurithe cry Is always naturally raised by
each party that the October election must
be carried to Insure success in November.
The result is that many are constrained.to
vote in October for candidates whom they
dislike, for the sake of st*ing . the, party
ticket at the lieveniber election. tinder
the proposed new rule this constraint will
be reloved, and every tub will be left to
stand on its own hottom, as it should. The
propriety of holding local election% on It
different day is apparent, and is already me
ognized by onr State laws. But those - elec
tions ere not'all now held on the same. day,
as they should be, and as the Convention
proposes they shall be hereafter. It is stated
that as these- elections are at present ar
ranged it is possible for a man to vote at
three or four of them in one year without
violating any law. It is evident that while
this state }of things continues there are
plenty of chances to colonize voters when
ever the end might justify, the expense.—
The whole system should be reformed alto
gether.
Senator Pomeroy, of Kansas, has suc
ceeded in adding another public scandal to
the number which these later evil days have
brotight forth. The story of his sudden fall
is most dramatic and sensational, and highly
characteristic of
," the Great West." The
Senator being.a candidate for re-election,
it was believed by his opponents thdt he
was using money, of which he seems to
have had plenty, to purchase votes. It was'
resolved to test the matter, and one Colonel
York, a member of the State Senate, was
selected as the proper person to spring the
trap. So the-Colonel entered into negotia
tion with the Senator for the sale of his vote,
and after some parleying and coy deniurrers
a bargain was struck whereby it was hgreed
that Pomeroy should pay York seven thou
sand dollars in advance for his vote , and in
fluence, and give him another thousand
when his (Pomeroy's) election was effecrd.
This is Col. York's story, and it is strongly
corroborated by circumstantial evidence.—
The Legislature met in joint session to bal
lot for Senator, and when York's name was
called that gentleman marched up to the
Speaker's desk and deposited thereon a roll
of billswhlch he requested the Speaker to
count. That gentleman complied, and an
nounced the sum as $7,000. Therpo non the
Colonel made a speech, saying thkt he sho'd
vote for Mr. Pomeroy for the 4evthl tizot; sand
redsons then iu the Speaker's hands. N.V hen
he i sot thrligh he las thanked for his part
in the business by a vote of the joint con
vention, and the election - was proceeded
with. Of course Pomeroy's former adhe
rents forsook him, and his competitor, John
J. Ingalls, was almost Unanimottsly elected.
The old Senator was at once arrested for
bribery under the State law, and although
he has published a letter asking a suspen
sion of public judgment, it seems hardly
possible to doubt the result of his prosecu
tion, if it is pushed as it should be.
Minnequa County.
Last Tuesday Mr. Bro&way, of Colum
bia county, read iu place in -the House of
Representatives s a bill to erect anew county
to be called Miunequa from parts of Tioga,
Bradford, Sullivan and Lycoming counties.
So far as this county is concerned, the bill
provides for cuttLig, of£ about one-third of
Liberty township by a north arid south line
running about half a mile east of the Block
House, the whole of Union, and about the
eastern third of Ward, leaving Pall Brook
still in Tioga county. This is Herdic's
scheme, and we understand he is sanguine
of carryirig it through the Legislature, but
we doubt his ability to do so. It IS certain
to encounter the opposition of the repre
sentatives of Tioga, Bradford, and we be
lieve of both the'other counties affected by
it. Peter's peculiar tactics May enable him
to carry his bill through the House over the
heads of these able and influential men, but
we shall believe it only when we see it done.
Whether it succeeds or not, we believe it
to be a project simply for the benefit of Pe
ter Herdic and the Railfoad, and to be op.
posed to the lasting interests Of a vast ma
jority of the people of the counties affected.
We had supposed that the counties named
in this bill had representatives in the House
fully competent to look after the local in
terests of all their constituents, and we are
still s,ure of their ability to do so. That
being the case,
.we . don't understand why
this Mr. Brockway, coming from a county
not at all affected by the bill, should take
upon himself - the task of introducing it.—
if he is in the habit of attending to his
neighbors' business in this style, it is - to be
feared that the interests of Columbia county
may suffer from neglect.
Damaged Reputations.'
The investigation now in progress at
Washington relative to the operation of. the
Credit 3fobilier is proving most disastrous
to the reputations of Soule- men who have
heretofore stood very high in the esteem of
the people of the whole country. No one
can read the evidence adduced without a
feeling of sadness, of indignation,• and of
alarm. It is indeed pitiful that men who
have passed through many years of public
life without a stain upon their good names
should now be found to have received mon
ey...
winch they must have known was never
honestly earned, and which was vidently
paid with a view to affect their official ac
tion. It is still more pitiful that these men,
whom' the whole country had-conr to look
upon as the very souls of honor, should try
to cover up their error by what looks very
like falsehood and perjury.. That small
men, whether in our State Legislatures, in
Congress, or in business life, should prove
corrupt hlis come to be regarded as almost
a matter of course. Since the time of Ju

been found, and no doubt the line of such
mercenary traitors is destined to be length.
ened out to the crack of doom. But we
hare a right to expect something better from
the trusted leaders of the country. In them
the palm which itches for the bribe brings
something more than personal dishonor and
disgrace—it brings confusion to those who
have trusted them, and disgraces the Amer
ican name. Their fall injures the great po
litical organizations they have led, and
shakes the confidence of the whole country
in the personal and political honesty of all
the officers of government.
The-project of building a great national
railway across our broad domain from one
ocean to the other would have been a grand
one at any time; but undertaken as it was
amid all the dangers, doubts, and trials of
the,great civil war, the work assumed heroic
proportions, and its steady progress was
watched with gratified pride by the whole
country. It was at once a magnificent proof
of tile strength and vital powerof the Gov
ernment and a pledge of national union.—
And now that the work is finished, it is no
doubt worth all that it has legitimately cost.
But, valuable as it is, it is a grave question
whether it is worth. all the millions stolen
by the Credit-Mobilier peculators from a
sorely taxed people. And there is no 'ques
tion at all that it is not] worth the disgrace
which has been brought upon the country
by the developments of this investigation
It is not worth the loss of public confidence
and destruction of respect for all our states
men which must inevitably result from the
disclosures made at Washington.
Nevertheless, we rejoice that those dis.
closures have been made.. It is not the e.T.-•

Campaign lies were never so gross or ca
lumnious as under the handling of the so
called Liberal Reform party
,of 1872.. Mr.
Wilson found himself accused of having
voted in the Senate under the inspiration of
having two thousand shares of the stock of
the Credit Mobilier. Ile was said to be fah
ulously' rich by means of speculations to
which Senato4lal office furnished hint the
opportunity. In other wofds, he was venal
and unworthy; the more so that be had
claimed the highest purity in all his legiila
tive action. He dismissed the falsehoods
then with an indignant denial, without de
scending to details. Now he, the Vice.
President-elect of the United States, is haul
ed up before a smelling committee to testify
to details of his private life which no man
cares' to make public, hoWever honorable
the record may be. But the story.,is singu
larly interesting.
Mr. Wilson never cared for money, and
so long as he was out of debt was content
ed. At the close of the war he found that
he had somewhat exceeded his income,, an
incident forced upon him by his position as
Chairman of the Joint Committee on Itrili
tary Affairs and his own personal expenses
in raising troops in Massachusetts. He was
behind some $l,OOO or $l,BOO. When his
silver wedding occurred at his modest home
in Natick, aside from the ordinary presents
that are usual on such occasions his neigh
bors made up a purse for Mrs. Wilson
amounting to $3,800. His estate then con
sisted of a modest wooden housq-and a, lot.
in Natick, a life insurance in 'favor of his
wife of $3,500, this $3,800 gift,''which be
longed to her, and, as an offset, personal
debts of some $2,000; certainly not a very
lucrative result from a long life of such dis
tinguished services. When he went into
Congress he was worth a clean $1,000.
Twenty years after he could count about
as much as really his own.. But he had lead
enough.
Mr. Ames and Mr. Al t ley, really anxious
to aid Mrs. Wilson, suggested to him that
site shoutd inyest to the amount of $2,000
in Credit Mobilier stock. It was done; but
after that stock had earned $Bl4, Mr.
son heard some Stories of litigation in the
company, and, against the advice of, Mr.
Ames, refused to accept the $Bl4, and
tendered the stock, or rather an agreement
to deliver, for the stock never passed hands,
taking the par value for it. But in' this
transaction he felt that his vife was entitled
to the $314, because she had lost it through
his advice, and he went to work to earn that
money and pay her rightfully. How? By
the drudgery of writing for the press; by
the smell sum that he, almost the lending
Senator of the United• States, could receive
from the sale of articles to the New York
Independent. And so that debt was honerar
bly paid, and—then Mrs. Wilson died.—
Said Mr. Wilson in his evidence:
" I would sell all I have to-day to anybody
who will take my property and pay my
debts for $3,500. This money I have saved
during the last four years by writing for the
New YOrk Independent. If I had not writ
ten for the newspapers, I should have been
$B,OOO or $lO,OOO in debt. That is my finan
cial condition. I have done nothing as a
member of Congress that I did not thint.l
had a legal and amoral right to do;c and in
regard to my official life J. feel .that to-day,
with all my sins, I can go into my closet
with nothing to ask God to forgive me for.
I feel outraged at the charges made upon"
me, and- I wish to say to the members of.,
this committee that I believe no greatx;l
wrung has ever been perpetrated hi this
country titan has been perpetrated upon the
honorable gentlemen in connection with
these charges, whom L have known for
twenty and twenty-five years, and whose in
tegrity the Pacific Railroad and all the rail
roads in the country could not buy nor move

There is a passionate pathos in this noble
statement, the passion shaping itself is , the
hot defense of Antes and Alley, the-pathos

to .the public service, and sought no reward
save the recognition of his countrymen,
feels when the last step has been gained,
and he still. linds jealous and grinning
wolves barking artaind him, impugning and
