The Sunburv American

Comedies that the Chr0nick made out
strong case" in favor of the claims of Lewis
burg to the County Seat, in preference TO
Mfiiinburg, until we came to the proposition
to bring over the five upper districts of Nor.
thumberland county to this, which the Editor
declares TO be an overt act Of treason" and
adds:
"Now we have no idea that Gov. Pollock
would sanction any such thing. He has rea
son to be proud of his native county, and
would never agree 10 dismemberment Of its
fair proportions"
Gov. Pollock has always had as good and
as in Sunbury and our people might put up
CouLty Buildings which he would prefer. l,
would be only four miles from his home, to
which he could 60 and come every day during
Court, and could also visit the ancient Stable
at Sunbury whenever justice was there dis
pensed. In every point Of view, it would GER
tainly be more convenient for him. An i'm
agnary county line could not move the Gov
ernor or any one else away from the home of
his nativity" which would be just as dear,
and his friends quite as kind and home-like,
whether the county was called Union or
Northumberland" Indeed, it would doubt
less be pleasure 10 all those along our noble
West Branch, to become one people again,and
not by simple river remain divided in coun-
ty organization, which they are not in business
or friendship. They should be as harmonious
in public as they are in social intercourse, IN
accordance With the natural position of the
county included in the proposed alteration.
Gov. Pollock, we are satisfied, would not
thwart the decidedly expressed will of his old
neighbors in apurely sectional question Of this
nature.
We think there must have been pretty
broad grin on friend Masser's face when he
got off that joke about the L" fair proportions" of
Northumberland county! To be sure, before
Montour and Columbia were taken from the
North and North West, and Snyder and Union
from the South West leaving that unslgh,ly
gore running away off Nor West, old Nor.
thumberland was very fair, square county.
But those losses left it the most awkward.ger-
rymandered county in the State. 1t looks like
a crane, minus its legs, the five supper end
districts making the neck and head (not to
say brains) of the county. Or sourd, some
would say-Or a crook necked squash, others
would compare it tor piece of cloth from
which garments have been cut without regard
to the shape the remnant might have. Ger
tainly, any disinlerested individual exami-
ming Map will allow, that to give it any
thing like "fair proportion" the pro,uberance
reaching from Montours Ridge to Muncy Hills
should be removed and attached to Union.
Thus rounded of, Northumberland would be
pretty good looking, and homogeneous in inte-
rest and population and Union would be
;. hard 10 beat" as a compact, rich county Of
medium size. This arrangement perfected,
cutting and carving from the venerable "mo-
ther county" should cease, and Northumber-
land be and remain a FINISHED" institution.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The press and
the public are not agreed regarding the
cause of Gov. Reeder's removal. 1t should
be recollected that with the correspondence
between him and MIR. Manypenny, covering
charges by the former against CIV Clark,
Indian Agent, and Clark's reply, all Of
which has been heretofore published, was
letter from the Secretary Of State, in
forming Gov. Reejer substantially that,
without satisfactory explanations relative
to bis alleged land transactions in Kansas,
his official relations with the Government
must terminate. 1t is well understood
that these explanations were received here
a week or two ago, aud which, according
to a telegraph despatch, have just been
published in St. Louis but they are en-
tirely unsatisfactory to the Executive, and
hence Gov. Recder's removal, on the 2s,h
of July.
We presume the letter of dismissal, and
other official paper, on the subject, will
shortly be given to the public.

Written for the Lewisburg Chronicle
Another Recommendation.

Twas much pleased with some remarks
made in recent No. Of the Chronicle,
against the system of begging for votes so
much prncticed in this county, heretofore,
and l certainly hope it may come to an
end. And another system is equally
wrong, and that is, the system CT electing
rich men to county Offices which men Of
limited means or Of no means at all could
fill equally well. This should not be SO
longer. Honest poor men or men Of lim-
tied means should be entrusted with such
offices, as a reward and an incentive to
good conduct. Is it not so =? and in nom-
mating and in electing, this principle
should be carried out.

three ladies were out gathering cherries,

The recent assault upon Gov. Reeder

tated, the design having been to shoot him
to get rid Of him. This is certainly an
effectual mode Of disposing of an obnox-
ious person, but in this case it missed fire.
Stringfellow is the name of the Governor S

Lynch law, and it may be of the fate re-
served for its bearer, who, it is said is a
