Alas, Poor Yorick,"

The editor of the C2eorfeld Republican
appears to have a sadly distempered imagin-
alton. There is always something to dis
turb its placidity, Once it was ''unconsti-
tutional war, military despotism;;" and
arbitrary arrests - then ''Rump Con-
gress. " "Greely Reformations, " Political
Preachers, and all that sort of thing; now
the vision of ''decapitated loyalist' writ
ing editorials for the journal, is haunting
his brain and giving him ftful slumbers
We really pity him, and feel inclined to ease
his mind in reference to the last cited cause
of disturbance; but as he would probably
at once seize upon some other illusion, we
do not see that by so doing we would con-
tribute in the least to permanent relief of
bis chronic malady, and hence refrain. We
trust, however, that Time, which has the
reputation of curing all things, will soon ex-
ert Its ameliorating influences upon our
neighbor, and restore him to healthful
train of ideas.

The Case of Hon. O. v. Culver.

Der of Congress, who, it will be remember
ed was arrested and imprisoned at the in
stance of Col. J. s. Meyers, and others, on

large sums of money in his oil operations.
The demand was complied with, and Mr. G..

Deputy Sheriff c. s. Marks, of Franklin,
and the Sergeant at Arms. On Dec. Doth,
the House passed resolution, by unani-
nous vote, declaring ''the arrest and impris-

privilege of the House. and ordering the
Sergeant-at-arms to proceed at once with

in charge Of the Sheriff, was Immediately
released and took his seat in the House.

The Impartial Suffrage QUESTION.

The Chicago Times. the journal which
first broke ground in favor of incorporating
the doctrine of impartial suffrage upon the
Democratic creed, has not been daunted By
the attacks of its partizan contemporaries
and the sncers of its Southern allies II re-
turns to the charge in long article in its is
sue of the 10th Dec, in which it asserts its
new dogma to be an essential element of
Democracy. This declaration is followed up
by showing that it was proclaimed in the
early constitutions of many of the States,
and that originally South Carolina, alone,
prescribed white" qualification for suf-
frage. The editor contends that it was the
abolition agitation which gradually led to an
extension of the exclusive system generated
on the genial soil of the Palmetto State, and
shat in Georgia, where this movemen. was
not followed, there is no constitutional pro-
hibition of colored suffrage

INTERNAL REvENUE.-The receipts of
internal revenue from July lst, 1866, to
this date inclusive, amount to the heavy ap-
gregate of sl5s, 700. 939. 90. This is at a
rate of over S95O,0O0 per diem, which, if
continued. would amount to nearly $780,
600, 600 for this fiscal year; but allowance
must be made for the customary reduction
of manufactures. &C., during the spring
months, after the market has been stocked.
A fair estimate has been made, which shows
it not extravagant to expect an aggregate
for the fiscal year, of 1920, 900, 600. Add
the Government for the year will probably
reach the enormous sum of 1855, 900, 600.

Political Junes.

The following article from the Chambers
burg Repository, relative to the manner Of
selecting Jurors, will be perused with inter
es, by our readers generally. The Reposi-
tory says:
The Republican journals IN number of
Democratic counties, such as York. Berks,
Montgomery, Schuylkil, ,..Lehlgh and North
ampton. complain that their juries are pack
ed by Democratic Commission and Sher-
ifs, and that ii is impossible to obtain JUS
tiee in the courts when any political preju-
dice can be brought into case We do not
doubt that these complaints are just, and
earnestly hope that the proper remedy viii
be applied. But we beg our Republican
| friends not to repeat the fatal mistakes most
of them have hitherto made BY demanding
special legislation. 1t Is due to truth to say
that reform in the selection of jurors in the
counties where political prejudice controls
them, has been defeated for several years by
the refusal of the Republican legislators in
many of our strong counties to assent to the
proposed reform.
Special legislation is ever Objectionable
when general enactments will reach the case,
and especially in everything PERTAINING to
the admi listration of justice should there
lar law will secure justice in a Democratic
county, it will perform the same Office in a
Republican county 1t may be true tha;
Republicans do not abuse their power as
| Democrats have done; but the very fact
that such abuses are possible in courts OF
justice, is conclusive reason in favor of a
change in every county. There can be nc
rational objection to Republican and Dem
| ocratic jury Commissioner in every county
in the State, unless it is designed to exer-
else political control of juries. and men Of
every political faith who desire justice should
| favor the change.
In our county we have never heard com
plants as to the character of our jurors, but
our people would cheerfuly assent to any
| measure that proposes to render it impossi
| ble to prostitute our juries TO the control Of
political prejudice. We hope that, for the
sake of those who are suffering injustice
from political juries, general law will be
enacted placing our juries entirely above
and beyond the power of political managers. -

The Italian Parliament was opened by the
King on Saturday, Dec. 18th. IF the peo-
pie and its representatives hoped on this
occasion to receive some intimation of the
policy of their Government with regard to
Rome, they were disappointed. The King
referred to the great question of the day in
terms which were evidently intended to ad-
NIT of different construction and to satisfy
both the Italian nation and the Pope The
Government, he said. would respect the Pa
pal territory, and desired the Pope to re-
main Independent at Rome, and he hoped
that the moderation of the Italian people
and the wisdom of the Pope would remove
difficulties. These hopes and wishes do
not, of course, forbid Italy. in case of sue
cessful revolution at Rome. to accept the
annexation Of that territory if it were de-
manded by the Roman people. In the
meanwhile. the negotiations between Italy
and Rome have been resumed. Vegezzi.

The Willismsport Dam Question.
81. Eow. EDrroR AND PROPRIETOR

The Wiliamsport Dam Question.
The last Clear6eld Republican contains
the following item:
'sAs WE EXPECTED. Gov. Curtin has,
after fooling our Lumbermen completely Tor
nearly a year, signed ths dam boom bill
He was only trying to find out which side
would bleed the best
There seems to be mystery connected
with the passage of the Bill in question:
which, If unravelled, might prove satisfac-
tory to the people of Clearfeld county Can
not our neighbor, who ought to be posted
in the matter, inform the public how much.
if any, Of the Bill was gotten up or written
by Senator Wallace? Can he not also say
whether anybody in the State Senate was
likewise trying to find ou, which side would
bleed the best?" We are not aware that
anything of the kind did occur, but, as al
ready intimated, it would be satisfaction
to learn that the men who are representing
this region in the different branches of the
Les islature have not, as you say of the Gov
ernor, been ''fooling our lumbermen.
For our own part, we do not undertake to
defend Gov. Curtin course, for if the pro-
visions of the Bill are as they have been
represented to us, we think it should not, in
IT'S present shape, have received his sanction,
if he desired to consult the rafting interest
of this section. But. still it does not seem
altogether fair that he should be censured,
and tLat those who either directly or indi-
rectly aided it. passage, particularly if they
reside in the lumber region, should be
screened by flank" attack on the Execu-
tive of the State.

Carolina, General Sickles relates that in one
case, where freedman was murdered, the
two men who killed him sat upon the Cor
oners jury, and united in the verdict that
'sthe deceased came to his death by causes
unknown" There is sort of savage hu-
NOR. which amuses while it makes us shud-

The Supply and Price of Coal,

A correspondent of the Pottsyille Miners
Journal, discussing the coal question: says ::
The Schuylkill region is only furnishing the
coal which the other regions cannot Pro-
ducers in Lehigh and Luzerne are able to
work to their full capacity, but the Schuyl-
kill county operator is only able to send to
market three-tourths of the coal he could
take out, thus increasing the cost of what
he does send The production this year
has been 1882, 095 tons up to November 7.
Tonight it will have reached more than g.
500, 900 tons. This has averaged So per
ton at Philadelphia; for while some of the
large sizes, during the year, have sold for a
higher price, chestnut coal has been drug
the greater part of the time, and has sold at
s ton at Schuylkill Haven. Tolls have
been 81 until August 1st, and since then
81 25 per ton. Now, at So ton, 3, 500, 900
tons has produced SIT 100000, of which
about 81 87a ton, equal to SO, ,062, 900.
went to the operators, the dealers, and COM
mission houses. while the carrying compa-
MES received 81 l04 ton, equal to 81 ,437.-
500. Now is there any money made at
these prices? If coal has produced 50 S74
ton at Schuylkill Haven, there must be an
allowance of at least 25 cents ton for COM
missions and necessary expenses, so that the
operator has only received 50 624 ton,
with which to pay expenses of mining. rent,
and tolls to Schuylkill Haven. III am cor
rectly informed, the cost of every ton sent
to market this ' ear will be So 25 at Schuyl-
kill Haven, so that the operators have lost
an average Of 623 cents ton on $500, 600
tons, making a total loss of 50, 1877, 500
