OUR P0TTSVILLE LETTER.
The "Miners' Journal" Is Forging: to
the front. '
Speolal Herald correspondence.
l'onsvnxK, Feb. 20. The metropolis of
Schuylkill oounty nt the present time Is
very quiet, and what little excitement is
nppnrent i9 occasioned by the legal lights.
They nre still harping over the Orphans'
Court bill. There Is one trait about the
average lawyer that Is not very commend
able, aud that Is, as n rnle, they never see
good features In anything that does not
alTect their own selfish ends. Why all
this hitlnbaloo obcut nothing f It Is
generally understood that under the new
apportionment Schuylkill will be given
the services of four judReB. So our legal
friends can rest eat-y on that score and
devote their energies against that other
(to them) obnoxious bill, creating the new
county of Qnuy. To tell the truth, the
lawyers of the county would as Boon see
the movement a success and the bill
passed, with those townships of Schuyl
kill Incorporated In the new county. The
opposition to the new county, in
my estimation, U merely a waste
of time and money. It appears to be
decided by the powers that bo at Harris
burg that tho bill mut pass both
branches of the Legislature, nnd no
amount of opposition from either the bar
or the County Commissioners will avail
anything. The latter would nppeur better
In the eyes of the people If they remained
nt home and attended to their duties.
If there are any just grounds against the
measure, Governor Hastings can be relied
upon to veto the bill.
The .Miners' Journal, under the new
management, Is steadily forging to the
front of the inland dailies, and within a
short while I expect to see it leading its
contemporaries iu the race. The new
blood recently' Infused Into its manage
ment has brought forth new nnd
progressive Ideas. 1 am informed that
the latest Improved typesetting machines
will soon be placed in the composing
rooms, thus enabling the publishers to fur
nish its renders with more news, and
to cover the local field more thor
oughly and supply n greater amount
of telegraphic news. It would not sur
prise me iu the least, before the end of the
present year, to see the Jourunl an eight
page paper, printed from a new, fast per
fectlng press. It Is nn excellent property,
nnd In the hands of the present manage
ment will no doubt be made the mo4
profitable newspaper plant In the Interior
of the state.
The bill now before the Legislature to
retire Common Pleas judges after a term
of years upon the bench, is likely to pass
that body. At least, so I am informed
by one of the members from this county,
The measure, however, has its friends as
well ns its enemies. It is very doubtful,
should the bill become a law, that the
Governor will approve of it. Should it
b come a law Judge Pershing would be
the first to retire from the bench under
Its requirements.
The recent purchase of the narrow
gauge railroad lending from Norfolk, Va.,
to a popular seaside resort, by the Messrs.
Barrltt, of the electric railway system
here, recalls to mind the great opportunity
that a Schuylkill coutity syndicate let
slip through their Aimers two years ago,
all because of the jealousy nnd greed of
one or two parties Interested. It was t
grand scheme, and by which every mem
ber of the syndicate would have been en
riched many thousands of dollars. The
Barritt purchase is only a small part of the
original scheme. The road is eight miles
in length, nnd is at present operated by
steam. The hotel, which is included in
the purchase, and is open only during the
summer season, more than pays tue
interest upon the Investment. With the
introduction of electricity aud the im
provements contemplated, the resort
will bring in a handsome revenue. Nor
folk is destined to be one of the leading
eaports of this country, because of its
geographical position. Much Northern
capital has been, and is still belng.lnvested
there. I am reliably Informed that the
original scheme of the Schuylkill county
syndicate included Wllloughby Spit,
covering neurly all the available untra
proved land around the city, some COO or
00 acres, the city street railways, the
narrow gauge railway and the summer
resort. It was an excellent opportunity
for the projectors, but they foolishly let
it slip. A. PittBburg syndicate secured the
Spit and city railways, and wanted the
narrow gauge road, but missed their
calculations.
The local politicians are now turning
their attention to securing for their
friends the political plums nt the hands
of the School Board and Council. Chief
of Police Pritchard is a candidate to
succeed himself, and ought to be retained
Davo was a good soldier' during the
rebellion, and It Is from such material
the best policemen are made.
Editor Zerbey is in Florida, for the
benefit ot his health. There are other
newspapermen to whom a similar trip
would be beneficial in building up their
system. They are sadly in need ot
change.
The coming Criminal court Is looked
forward to with much anticipation
especially the parties directly Interested
In one or two Important trials, notably
the charges against Steward Hartuia
and the libel suits of Lawyer Wllhelm
and the three newspapers Chronicle and
Republican, of Mils town, aud Daily
Aunrlcan, of Mahanoy City. There will
very likely be dished up lots of nauseous
stulT to the detriment of good morals and
the edification ot those of morbid tastes,
The returns from the recent borough
elections in this county plainly show
that tho Polish and Lithuanian element
have joined the Republican column to
stay. If they are only treated halt right
they can be held. As a rule they are not
hoggish and, unlike some nationalities, d
not demand everything iu sight. With
Pottsvllle, Mlnersville, St. Clair, Mahanoy
City, Abhland and Shenandoah, tbelarg'
est towns lu the county, in the Ilepubll
con column to stay, the Democracy has
li'tle encouragement for the future.

Judge William Henry DeWItt is one of
the most prominent lawyers and judges
in East Tennessee. , He is a leading mem
ber of the Southern Methodist church in
Chattanooga. In legal business and
social circles he stands high, und his
statements, sa ys the Chattanooga Press,
are regarded of special weight because of
his venerable character, he being now 07
years old.
lie has held several prominent positions
in a legislative atid judicial capacity,
having served as a member of the South
ern Congress at Richmond during the
war, and since that time as Judge of the
Chancery Court, one of the highest offices
in judicial practice next to the Supreme
Court.
He was admitted to the bar In 1850. In
1855 he was elected to the State Legisla
ture, but declined a re-election.
After his removal to East Tennessee he
was appointed special chancelor by Gov.
Taylor, and filled the office for two years.
He has successfully practiced before the
Supreme Court ot the United States for
years.
in recent years, owing to tue ueavy
work he has performed, he has been sub
ject to nervousness, and his attention has
been called at various times, both by
friends and physicians, to the need of
fortifying himself against physical col

uable aid, and. to friends herecommended
the use of the remedy for shattered
nerves.
Overhearing his conversation, a friend
asked him to write down his experience
for the use of others so aflllcted. In re
sponse he wrote as follows :
"Dear Sir In obedience to yourrequest,
I state some of my personal knowledge of
the value of Paine's celery compound as a
medical remedy for certain allllctlons and
diseases, as follows, namely :
"Judging from my own experience, it
is a first class remedy to restore the ner
vous system when broken down or Im
paired from ovorwork omlnd or body,
revivifying the energies. It strengthens
tho digestive powers und cures costiveness;
truly It is a great nerve tonic, a good
alterative, a splendid diuretic. It is good
for the kidneys and the blood, renews
vitality, and restores strength. It sur
passes anything I have used as a health
renewer, a strength giver, and system
regulator. It quiets weak nerves, gives
better rest, increases both appetite and
digestion, and brings back lost power of
balmy sleep, nature's sweet restorer.
Yours truly,
WuxiAii Henry DeWitt.".
