Governor Geary has vetoed the bill re-.
pealing tho act to create . new Criminal
Courtfor Dauphin, Lebanon and Schuylkill
countless This 50 called "court" has
been in imaginary existence about two years,
and has cost the State $4,000 . year, and
about $500 in mileage, while no business
,ohaterer has been transacted by it! The
"court" was created at the request Of o
number Of the 6ercest Radical partisans in
.Sohuylkill county, for the sake Of taking
away the power from Judge Ryon, who is a
Democrat BY consolidating Dauphin,
Lebanon and Schuylkill counties into one
judicial district, the Radicals hoped to OBJ
tain control Of the courts in Schuylkill
county, SO that their election officers who
commit frauds would not be punished, as
they wonld be by judge Ryon. The work
ing classes in Schuylkill always give heavy
majority against thom, and their only hope
Of obtaining control Of tho courts in that
county is by bringing into the contest the
heavy Radical vote Of Dauphin and Lcb-
anon. They elected their apology for a
Congressman, Col. Cake, from the Tenth
District, by open and shameless bribery,
and under the lead Of o few crazy negro.

hood. The outlaws who formerly commit
ted such outrages in Schuylkill county were
but small gang-perhaps dozen men.
Some Of them, ut least four or FIVE, were
shot, and one was captured and has bccn in
prison for two years. Through fear that he
might divulgc their names, the remaining
outlaws left the region, and scenes Of VIC.
lence became much less frequent, which the
Radical wiseacres absorbed to the iorma-
ton Of o so-callcd special police force, gen.
orally known as the snapper police" on
account Of their catching nothing more DAN
gerous than swapping turtle.
Geary has now new text, however, and
states that the prevention Of crime in
Schuylkill is owing to the Criminal Court,
when it is well known to every sensible per-
son that the "Court" never tried case,
and has never been acknowledgedas having
any authority whatever The first session
Of the court in Pottsville was attended by
the Judge" four Republican lawyers,
and two spectators, and it has never since
been recognized as court by any Of the
lawyers in either Dauphin, Lebanon or
Schuylkill. '
Four times ayear Col. Green calls the
"court'' to order, and then declares it ad-
journed; for which service he receives three
thousand FIVE hundred year salary, and
about eight hundred dollars year mileage,
paid from the State Treasury. Reading

Tue LADY's FRIEND FOR JUNE.-What-
ever the Ladies' Magazine may have been
in times past, some Of those of The present
day, both in respect to engravings and as to
their literary contents, are Of a very high
character. The steel engravings arc execu-
ted in the best style of art-the fashions are
refined, judicious and elegant-while their
literary contents often surpass in their Pc
culiar line the efforts of the masculine
monthlies. To blame these magazines for
not being more solid and heavy, is as sensi-
bic as to blame young girl for not being
an old manor q rose for not being apota-
to. We take the Magazine before us-one
of the best of its class-and what do we
find? A well executed and suggestive steel
engraving, called "Thc Prisoner of State. y
A handsome and picturesque colored steel
fashion plate of Fancy Costumes. An in
teresting wood engraving Of the First
Church in England and number of 9th
er engravings illustrated of the present
mode for women and childrcns' dresses.
And, in addition to all this, novelties and
stories by such writer's as Harriet Prescott,
Amanda NJ. Douglas, August Bell, Miss
hIuzzey, &c. Now when in addition to
such writer's, we give the names Of Mrs.
Henry Wood (the English noyelist), Louise
Chandler Moulton. Florence Percy, Marga-
ret Hosmer, and others who contribute to
the LADYs' FRIEND, our readers will. sec
that this magazine must necessarily take as
high rank in literature, as it evidently
does in. fashion. The truth is that, SO cost.

zine, it takes very large edition even to
pay their expenses. The " Ladys' Friend
is published by Deacon & Peterson, 3ls
Walnut Street, Philadelphia, at $3.50 o

graying). Sample copies Is cents. e.
