TOWNSMEN WHO M
RRIED ARMS I
Co, II Was a Crack Bratfi
h of the Seventh
Regiment, National Guards, and Made
an Enviable RecoiVror Itself.
Men Who Sertfjl In It.
On Tuesday, last, tho Hekald called at
tention to tho fiict that tlie day marked the
21st anniversary of the organisation of Co.
H, 7th Iieglmcut, N. 0. l,-lu town. The
company was tho prldo of Shenandoah and
the people of the town always refer to It
with a feeling of interest and pleasure, hence
it is that roferenco to the nnnlversary that
has led to requests from various sources that
a brief roview of tho organisation be givon
to the public. Through the courtesy of
Capt. George W. Johnson, of Lost Creok, tho
llKitALn is enabled to comply with tho 10
quost and furnish a list Of names on one of
tho inspection rolls M furnished to the state
department. Tlio list, as well as tho brief
history which supplements, it, will no doubt
bo read with Intoreat.
Company II was organised in the latter
part of 1875, but was not mustered into
servico until Jnno 88ml, 1870. At that tlmo
its enlistment numbered about 03 men. On
August 3rd, following, tho company attonded
tho Centennial encampment at Fainnomit
Park, Philadelphia, having iu that short
space of time fully uniformed and equipped
every ono of its mcmbbrs, while some
companies in tlio sarao regiment, although
having been in servico over a yonr before,
wero not equipped in the regimental uni
form. Tlio company remained in camp ten
days, at tho oxpenso of tho men, having
nothing furnished them by tho stato except
transportation aud tents. Tho company's
first arms were tho old lnuszle-loadiiiK rilles.
but at the inspection held while iu tho
Centennial camp the company created such a
favorable impression that it was at once
furnished with tho new hreoch-Ioadlng rilles.
This was quite an honor to bo conferred on
tho field. Ou tho grand roview Co. H was
tho largest in tho parado.
In July, 1877, during tho l'ittslmrir riots.
the company, with tho regiment, wasordorcd
for duty at tho state arsenal at Harrisburg.
aud from thcro to Pittsburg, to take tho
place of tho Philadelphia troops, which had
beou driven away by tho mob. They went
into camp at ltotip Btation, about three miles
east of Pittsburg, and wore, continuously on
guard duty along tho Pennsylvania Kailroad
as far wost as Lawreucoville, or tlio 2Sth
street crossing, whero most of the fighting
was dono. They continued thcro uutil
August Oth, when their scrvicos wero no
lougor required. They wero- relieved from
duty and ordered homo.
By reference to tho Adjutant Gcnoral's re
port for that year, 1877, is found tlio follow
ing report ou Co. H : "Condition, superior.
Officers present, 2. Eullstcd men, 72. Ab
sent ofllcers, lj enlisted men, 8. Aggregate,
83." This, as in 1870, showed a larger uum-
ber present than any other company In iho
stato.
On tho annual inspection hold in Pottsvillo
December 5th, 1878, wo find tho followine
report : "Present Officors, 2; enlisted men.
55; total, 57; absent, 10; aggregate, 07." For
1S70 : "1'rosent Ouicors, 3; enlisted men, 02;
absent, 4; total, 00; por cent, present. 01.2"
and also tho following rating: "General an-
poarance, superior; discipline; suporior; con
dition ot arms, superior; books, (how kept)
very good; condition ol roll, very good: com
pany avorago, 05.7." And so is found about
IJJio same rating for 1880 aud 1881.
On December 25, 18S0, Benjamin G. Hess
and Frank Temple wero commissioned 1st
and 2nd Lieutenants, respectively, vloo
Ulcuteuants Jumos G. Roads aud John C.
Glover, honorably discharged.
Notwithstanding tho oxcellent roeord of
tho 7th Keglment and all the companies con
nected with it, to tlio surprise of all con
cerued, an order was Issued from head
vuarters at Harrisburg under date of July
nth, 1881, disbanding tho regiment as an
organization and companies II and I as local
organizations. Why this was dono has nover
been satisfactorily answered. Tho other
companies of tho regiment wero divided bo-
tween the 4th and 8th Regiments. For a
long timo tho promise was held out that Co.
U. would be attached to another Itegimeut,
but it was never fulfilled. Tho men tired of
waiting and finally disbanded.
And thus ended Shcuandoah's first and
last military company. It is but just to stato
here that Co, H nover received Its fair annual
appropriation. Having served five years, it
only received allowances lor four years, aud
was thus wronged to tho extent of $500. Ro
peatcd efforts wore mado to recover it, but
never succcssfelly. Tho Adjutant-General
claimed that the company was not entitled to
it, aud yet Co. A, of the samo rogiinent, was
mustered in on June 22ml, 1875, oxactly one
year previous to tho mustering In of Co. H,
and received its annual allowance for 1875
Why Co. II should not havo received its al
Iowanco for 1870 never could lie learned,
understood by those Interested iu It.

FINANCE COMMITTEE SUSTAINED
In Placing a Duty on Hides, Despite West
ern Senators' Objections The Com
mlttee Also Sustained in the
Rate Fixed on Wrapper
Tobaeco.
Washington, June SB. The Republi
can senator decided in caucus) laat
night, by a vote of 22 to 11, to sustain
the action of the finance committee In
placing a duty upon hides, but did not
pass upon the question of the amount
of duty to be imposed. The com
mittee was also sustained in the rate
fixed upon Imported wrapper tobacco.
The only other disputed questions con
sidered were watches and watch Jew
els, and upon these the finance com
mittee was reversed, the house rates
being accepted on watches, and watch
Jewels being made free.
The caucus was held In the marble
room ot the senate and was well at
tended. While the discussion was spir
ited at times, the meeting was Without
especial Incident. The greater part of
the time was given to the proposition
to fix a duty on hides. Senator Lodge
lod the contest against the action ot
the finance committee In taking hides
fn m the free list, and was seconded
by Senators Hoar, Piatt, Spooner and
others, while Senators Nelson, Allison,
Warren and Gear spoke for the duty.
Mr. Lodge contended that the duty,
If Imposed, would not be ot nny con
sequence as a revenue Item, and that
It would udd nothing to the farmers'
returns on his cattle, while It would
have the effect ot greatly Injuring th
Industry of leather manufacture, whii h
had grown to Immense proportions un
der the system of free hides. He said
that the exports of leather goods
amounted to $20,000,000 per annum, and
asserted that If a stiff duty should be
imposed the Industry would be greatly
checked.
In reply the western senators claimed
a direct benefit to the farmer from the
duty, and asserted that' he was as
much entitled to the protection it would
give as were the manufacturers to the
assistance they would receive from
other dutleB.
The vote was on tho general propo
sition to impose a duty without regnrd
to rates. The fixing ot these, it was un
derstood, should be left to the finance
committee, but the expressions were so
general In favor of the ad valorem
rather than the specific system that
the oommtttae. .probably will., feel it
self Instructed to substitute this sys
tem for the 1 cent a pound rato orlgl-.
nally agreed upon. There was also a
general expression against any In
crease unon India tanned goat and
sheepskins, which the manufacturers
regard as a substantial victory.
The debate on the tobacco schedule
was confined to brief speeches by
Senators Hawley and Fairbanks. The
finance committee had originally fixed
the rate on unsteamed wrapper to
bacco at $1.50 per pound, In opposition
to the house rate of $2 per pound.
The representatives of the leaf grow
ers Immediately began a contention for
the restoration of the house rate.
which was resisted by the smaller
manufacturers, particularly of the
western states. The finance committee
yielded to the growers to the extent ot
advancing the rate to $1.75. Senator
Hawley last night represented the
growers In their efforts to secure a $2
rate, and Senator Fairbanks the manu
facturers In their attempt to hold the
original finance committee figures. The
caucus decided, without division, to
stand by the compromise rate of $1.75.
There was only one vote raised in
opposition to the proposition to return
to the house schedule on watches, and
In addition to admit watch jewels free
of duty. The finance committee fixed a
uniform rate of 40 per cent, on watches,
while the house provided a compound
duty. It is to this compound system
that the senate returns.
The quentlon of reciprocity, trusts,
Hawaiian sugar, beer, lea and internal
revenue were not discussed.
