The Hos. BILL MoNTGoNERY.--B private
letter from Washington, Pa, we learn that for
all and after all the contrariwise efforts of the
Washington, Greene, and Fayette county press,
that the Hon. Bill Montgomery has in all proba-
biIity stolen successful march on Jesse Leazer,
the aspiring cashier Of the Waynesburg Bank,
in the recent primary meetings for COMPRESSION
Ia nominatiou. 1t was boosted and trpmpeted
around largely that Jesse, the "money changer,
was man so prodigiously and overwhelming
" popular within the sacred precincts of the
penny royal soil of G eene county, that the Hon.
Bill would lie just no where at all. True Jesse
has carried tle county; he stands some eight
or nine hundred strong in the Hoop Pole shire.
But the Hon. Bill done better himself, not
two years ago, among the same people. 1t only
remains now TO be seen whether the Hon. Bill
can get Washington and Fayette counties
bv maiorities sufficient to drown the voice of
Greene in behalf Of Jesse The probabilities
are that the thing will be easily done, and then
the Hon. Bill is again on the track, with nobody
10 oppose him but the nominee Of the regular
opposition. The truth is, that the Hon.. Bill
Montgomery is worker. The energy that can
successfully wade through canvass aud carry
on its back the hero of g Peter Pluckem, and
at the same time stand up under the natural
effects of two recent political back slides, is not
met with every day.
Will Sherrard please report progress thenext'
time he tells the House what the Hon. Bill is
about7
In This competitions we may state that We have
a report that William MeKennan, Esq. son Of
the late Hon. II. NJ. \. McKennan, of Washing
ton, win, in all probability, be the ant. Lecomp.
ton nominee. The choice, il made, will be
good one. de chip Of the old block

Dlv1DED.-We notice by the telegram from
Concord, n H, that the Granite Yankees are
divided on the reelection of Hale to the United
States Senate. The Senate br,.nck las VIC mo-
ticed yesterday resolved to "rotate" Hale out,
but the lower branch seems to have relish for
Hnles displays of keen. We like the idea Of
the lower branch. We hope they will elect
Hale. We notice that the Democrats put them
selves to the useless trouble of nominating John
s. Wells. He has been their standing "ten-pin"
these many years back being merely set up to
be knocked down.

times. is getting reputation for chivalry. The

Hughes, Hoosier, from Indiana, and Harris, a

Hoosier nor the Sucker ever came near fight.
Through the grateful offices Of their friends,
both were enabled to cave gracefully. To-day

Of an eye, we believe, and being, no doubt,
duly thankful for his deliyernnce from lingering
death, proposed to do what he could towards
preventing any such misfortune to the Louisiana
man.
This is no time now, for the fire-eaters to be
killing each other, when patriots are so scarce.
We are astonished that they could bear even to

WAR NEws.-'rhe war news this morning is,
paradoxicaly, peace, news. just as we expect
ed-and as everybody else did, we suppose, who
cnce stopped to consider the relative positions
of this country and England, there has been
no recent orders issued tn the British vessels to
do as they have done. On the contrary, their
head authorities down there in the Calf are
now making hot haste to put stop TO the mad
pranks Of the reckless cruisers.
In the meantime, who has to pay for frighten:
ing the United States Senate into those gabby
blows about war. We suggest that Gen. Cass
demands expenses, anyhow, of Lord Napier.

TnE INTEREST or THE ONO CorNTY BoNDs
ISSUED TO TIE HEMPFIELD RAILROAD CoNPASY.-
Yesterday Mt the session of the Levy Court. it
was resolved by vote of fourteen to ten, that
II was inexpedient, at this time, to levy tax to
meet the interest accruing for1 s5s, on the bonds
issued to the Hempfield Railroad Company
Much debate ensued on the general merits of
the whole question. TIE following is the vote
upon the sseselce' that 1t is inexpedientat this
time to make the said levy:
AYEs.-W. B. Curtis, Isaac Colts, Geo. Frazier
Jno Faris, Isaac Kelly, T. G. Jeffers, 9. ID. Knox,

drew Wilson. In all, 10.
In lieu of railroad tax, however, the Magis-
trates levied a tax intended to absorb about
twenty per cent. of the old existing debt of the
county. This tax win be considerably less than
the railroad levy of last year--amounting only
10 seven thousand seven hundred and seventy
eight dollars, ($7,77sl OF this amount $4,000
goes to the N. W. Bank and the balance to the
NJ. & NJ. Bank. This is an old debt, having been
on loan for some twenty years, during which
time we have paid in interest on it about $4s,.
600, or $4,000 more than the principal. Its
time we were sponging it out

OF CHILDREN.

CAN A Man WILL HIS CHILDREN OUT OF
THE CUSTODY OF THEIR MoTHER?-Some days
since application was made t, Judge VIII
liams. for a writ OF habedS corpus, by p. e.
Shannon, esq, on behalf Of Margaretta Ham
ilton, widow of the late George S. Hamilton,
for the recovery Of her three children, who
bay, since the death of their father, been
held in custody by bis two brothers, Samuel
aud Fulton Hamilton. The writ was made
re,urruble on Saturday, the l3'h instant,
when the case came W 10 the Distric, Court.
II appeared thai the brothers-iD-law of Mrs.
Ii ,mllton retained the children by virtue 9t
the will of her husband; which provided Tor
and appointed for each Of said children Sc
para,e guardians. Mr.. Shannon. on behalf
of the Applicant, demands that the children
shall Re restore to the mother, who 10 case
of the fathers deceuse is the next n"tGrai
guardian; and that Nd law, human or d.
vine, can separate her from them, a. long a.
she is able and willing to support and care
for them.
In opposition to the application. it is ar
gued that the will Of the father should be
biuding; and that be bad a perfect right to
make such provision for the future training
of his children, as he deemed proper. Inc
Legislature empowers a father to make a
will, and it would be a gross violation OF the
spirit Of the law, to annul such documents, 81
long as DO legal objections could be taken to
them.
His Honor, Judge Williams. refused to
give a hasty decision on the application as
the question raised, was entirely pew, and
one OF vital importance to parties concerned
He would consider the matter, ana, after
making proper Investigations and consulting
witb;J Judge Hampton, would givehls decision.
The mother Of these children adhtres &"
the Catholic persuasion, aid the will OF the
husband was TO place them 10 the gnard'a' =
ship of Protestant families. The decision OF
the Court will be looked for with interest as
the principle involved is one OF great In

ANECDOrE OF TRISTAN BURGESS.
Oliver II. Smith. o: Indians a, in one OF his
reminiscences published in the Indianapolis
Journal, tells the following story:
During the debate 10 Congress on the tar
;E in 1893 an amendment was offered 10 in
crease the duty on mOlasses ten cents per
GALLON. being an iudease Of Il hundred per
cent ad valorem. - object VS. to ,h ke
off the northern members, and indirectly to
kill the bill. When tie House wac 10 commit
tee of the whole. M1DBurgess, of R. l., arose
and implored the mo1er to withdraw it. He
showed its effects upIh the trade between the
eastern States and ~ adjacent islands, in
timber and the retden cargoes of molasses
which was the dailf food of the poor. His
speech WAS short am to the point. As he
took his seat. Henf1 Daniel, of Kentucky,
sprang to his feet apd reared out 1T the top
Of bis voice, "Mr. Chairman. le, the coosti-
tuents Of the gentleman from Rhode Island
sop their bread on one side In moiasses and
they will pay the a4fne duties they do now"
Mr.. Bartlett, Of Ned HAMPSHIRE, remarked
to me: Now look OPT for Tristan, Harry
will catch it, Mr.%Burgess arose with fire
beaming from bis cohntenance, and address
ed the chair. "Thetrelief proposed by the
gentleman from Kentucky is but adding in
suit to injury. Does not that gentleman kuow
that established habits become second nature
aud that laws are cruel and oppressive that
t-ike at the innocent habits of the people?
To illustrate: what would they think of me
if | should offer an amendment that himself
or his consti uents shall hereafter have no
NO e ,han a pint Of wbiskey for breakfast in
st; ad Of a quart? Does lie not know that the
disposition of all animals part axes, in Il great
ter or less degree, of the food on which they
are fed? The horse is noble, kind, and
graceful; be is fed on grain and grass. The
bear Cooking at Daniel, who was a heavy,
short man, dressed in a blue coat, with a vel
vet COLLAR will eat hog and raw hominy.-
You can domesticate him, dress him in a blue
coat with a velvet collar, learn him to stand
erect, and to initiate the human voice as
some showmen have done. but examine him
closely, sir, docking at Daniel some seconds)
you will discover he is a bear still! The gen.
tleman tod US iu q speech SON days ago.
that his district produced a large number of
jackasses, hogs and mules. No stronger
proof of the truth of his statement can be Civ

Daniel wiltei under the sarcasm, and few
members afterwards felt disposed to arouse
the eminent son OF Rhode Island.
