The Innkin Family.

From the Presbyterian Bmner we clip
the following Five brothers, the only
survivors Of fourteen children of the late
Joseph Junkin, of Mercer County, Pa,
met in Steubenville, Ohio, on the 1st of
last month. The oldest was the Rev.
George Juukin, d. d., Il. LID, now in
his 77th year. He was the founder aud
the first and third President of La fayette
College, and has been President of Miami
University, Ohio, and of Washington Col
lege, Virginia. On Sabbath, June End,
he preached twice, with great visor and
fervor. The next in years is the Hon.
Benjamin Junkin, of Pennsylvania, now
in his 74th year, soldier of the war of
1872, and who had two sons killed and
one wounded in the late war against the
rebellion The next in age is Capt. Will
liam T. Junkin, of Mercer County, Pa;
and the next is NJ. o. .Junkin, Esq, late
Mayor of Steubenville. The youngest is
the Rev. David X. Junkin, d. d., aged
SO, late chaplain in the u. S. Navy, and
now pastor of the Presbyterian Church
in Newcastle, Pa. l rarely happens that
five brothers, SO widely separated, and oc.
cupying social positions such as they, are
spared SO long to meet in this world of
change, and sleep, in the evening of life,
under the same roof.

Cancelled Revenue STAMPS.

Commissioner Rollins has issued cir
cular calling on bankers, brokers, and
others, to destroy all their cancelled
stamps, inasmuch as there are people in
various parts of the country who are do
ing large business in washing and 9TH
erwise restoring them, and then selling
them for their value on the face. He
says that the fact of persons collecting
stamps is. sufficient to arouse strong sus-
picions and to call for immediate investi-
cation. The possession of washed, re-
stored, or altered stamps he deems prima
facia evidence of guilt.

TOuchy.

In noting the arrangement for the Com
mencement exercises of Lafayette College,
at Easton, one of the speakers is alluded
to as {" One of the Vigorous Unionists Of
MARYLAND" whereat the Editor of the
10Th Legion Democrat, wakes wroth, and,
in an article of considerable length, re-
lieves himself of superabundance of
bile, with which he appears to have been
much troubled.
Is it not singular, the tenacity with
which the old Copperhead feeling adheres
to the skirts of the soreheaded Democracy.
They Joined hands with their Southern
brethren in contest for the destruction
of the government, and were fairly,
squarely, but most efficiently whipped,
and continue to be whipped whenever
opportunity for doing the job decently is
afforded the people. Notwithstanding the
repeated lessons thus received they
seem to have no idea of learning wis.
dom from experience, but continue on in
the old track, and butt away at the pile
of Unionism before them as though it
were easier for them to push it to one
side than to follow the lead of their Re
publican brethren in adding to and
Strengthening it. The very name of Union
seems to have become stencil in their
nostrils: and to have been a champion
of the Union cause, in its hour of great
est need, is all that is needed to excite
their direst ire against any one so fortu
nate.
What a pity that these worthics cannot
be induced to accept the situation as they
find it, and become peacefully disposed
and worthy members of the government
Their present course but does them harm
while it in no way affects those whom they
would destroy if they had the power
Why not then give it up, and join hand:
for the restoration Of things to what they
once were-to peace and brotherly love
between men, and to prosperity and perma
ncncy for the Government.
\ different course faithfully pursued
might some day give them respectable
standing as party, instead of the dlsrepu
table one which they now occupy as ,
miserable, belligerent faction, and oper
the way for hope Of reaching that goal o
their greatest ambition, the power of dis
pensiDg the loaves and fishes"

rn-The following, which we find in the
10th Legion Democrat, is worthy the at
tention of our merchants, our farmers, and
our consumers Of butter. If there is any
thing that amounts to an unmitigated
imposition, it is the making of our citi-
zens pay first quality price for the mise
rable, nasty stuff too often palmed upon
US for good fresh butter:-
A Few WORDS ABOUT BUTTER =
When people buy sugar, molasses, mus
lin or almost any other compodity at a
store, they pay for it according to the
quality of the article purchased. Nobody
would think Of paying as much for a
pound of the commonest brown sugar as
they would for the same quantity of pure
white pulverized, nor is it asked /; but a
pound of butter unfit for anything but
wagon grease costs the same as a pound
of the sweetest and freshest butter in the
market. Now, this is mauifestly unjust
and wrong-unjust to consumers and TO
those who make good butter. 1t is an
evil that should be remedied, and may be
if storekeepers will but take the matter
in hand and act in concert. Let them
discontinue the practice of paying the
same for shoe grease they do for sweet
butter, and we shall soon have more of
the latter and less of the former in our
market But the storekeepers must act
together in the matter, and stick to what
ever they agree among themselves to do.
A departure by one or more of them,
from the rule laid down by all, would not
only operate to the disadvantage of other
merchants, but defeat the very thing it
was expected to accomplish. Let our
business men act upon our suggestion.

An infant. six months old belono;nc

An infant, six months old, belonging
to Mr.. John Fravel, in Marion township,
Centre Co., died on the I'd July, by hang
ing itself by the draw-string of its night
gown. The circumstances in detail arc
these: The child was left in bed by itself
while the parents were engaged at their
usual morning domestic duties; after the
lapse of short time the mother went to
look after her child and, to her indescrib-
able horror, found it suspended by the
neck on one of the bed pins 1t seems
the straw had worked to one side, expos
ing the rail, and the child creeping abops
unconsciously, slipped down and thus
brought about its death in SO sad man
ner.

Historical Facts.

The danger of electing Copperhead
j Judges is shown by reference to the past
judicial "Opinions" of the magistrates of
that stamp.
In 1861, when the South seceeded,
Judge Black, President Buchanan's At
torney General, promulgated the "Opiu-
ion," officially, that the General Govern
ment had no right to coerce States even
in so grave matter as rebellion. Presi-
dent Buchanan adopted that view, and re
fused to reinforce or provision the garrison
at Fort Sumter, or to resist the hostile
meas ures of the traitors which finally re-
suited in the surrender of that Fort, and
gave to the rebels their first success =
Judge Black, at the late Harrisburg Con.
vention endorsed Judge Sharswood as hav
ing "no unsound spot on him, which may
be taken to mean that he held the same
views.
an 1868, the Copperhead Judges o.
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania de-
clared the Draft Lew unconstitutional
they having at that time majority on
the bench Fortunately the Republican:
elected Judge AGnew in that year, and
this decision was overruled soon alter, BY
his vote. But for this circumstance oul
State would have been involved In direct
conflict with the General Government
and our own citizens probably with each
other in this deeply important question
Judge Sharswood endorsed Judge Wood
ward, who was at the head of this con
spiracy, at that time, and Judge Wood
ward now endorses Judge Sharswood as
fit and proper man to succeed him on TIT
Supreme Bench of the State.
In 1864, Judge Sharswood himsel
tried to get his Court in Philadelphia t.
declare that U. S. Treasury notes wer
not legal tender-and promulgated al
elaborate opinion that the act of Congress
declaring them to be SO was unconstt1
tional aud therefore void. Fortunatel,
again, his two Republican colleagues
Judges Stroud aud Hare overruled him
and his second attempt at Modification wa
averted, and Pennsylvania saved from dis
grace.
The people can Judge from this W ha
sort of law may be anticipated from tn
Supreme Bench of the State. if Judg
Sharswood should hold the balance o
power. Let them take care not to affor
Judge S. an opportunity to give more Dc
cisions of the same sort.

reads as follows:
"If. any person shall willfully or mali

which met in Harrisburg on juno 11th,
adopted twelve resolutions relating to al.
most every conceivable question but the
Free Railroad Law. On that question
not a word was uttered. A measure so
nearly related to the permanent welfare
of the whole State, and in which the peo-
pie are interested more than any other, is
not even recognized by party asking for
popular support. The inevitable infe,
renee is that the Democratic party is OPP
posed to Free Railroad Law.

The Presidents Message, vetoing the
Supplemental Reconstruction Bill, was
sent to Congress on Friday last, and was
met, in the Senate, by prompt, calm
and dispassionate counter veto. 1t was
read, attentiv ely listened to, and, as it
was found to be filled with fallacies as
weak and apparent as were those which
led the Democracy, in 1861, to adopt re-
bellion against, instead of acquiescence
in, the decision of the people, it was not
deemed worth while to even speak of it.
In the House, the message was handled
with a free hand by both parties, the
Unionists against and the Democrats for
it. and after its merits and dement's had
been freely discussed, the same fate was
meted out to it as was measured by the
Senate. After rehashing, in somewhat
different shape, the arguments urged
against the Reconstruction bill proper
the gist of the Presidents objections
loom up in the fact, that, learning wisdom
by experience, Congress, in the Supple
mental BILL dispenses with the agency oi
the President and Attorney General
Stansberry in bringing about restora
tion of the Southern people and States tc
the Union Members of the Republican
persuasion, doubtless, became convinced
that the extraordinary wrenching OF con
science, on the part of these two worthless
rendered necessary for the suiting of ;
law, which was intended to debar unre
constructed rebels from monopolisiDg the
powers of the State Governments, to the
giving them all the power, was too ex
hausting for repetition, and hence, in the
matter of reconstruction, Andy was lef
out in the cold. 1t is gratifying to know
however, that the President submits t.
the fate prepared for him, and leaves the
remedy for his supposed wrongs with thu
people at the -box-just where th'
majority in Congress wants them to b
decided.
