An AMBASSADOR AS is AN AMBASSADOR
The Hon. Anson BurlingaEe, the Grand
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Peni-
potentiary of his Celestial Majesty the EN-
peror of China, may soon be expected to
arrive in the United States, clothed with
powers to treat with all Christian nations in
the way of intercourse, peace and good will.
He receives a salary of forty thousand dol
lars per annum in gold, and has retinue of
thirty persons, among whom there is an
Englishman and Frenchman as secretaries.
This is grand mission, and is movement
on the part of the greatest, at least most
populous and oldest empire on the globe, of
surprising and extraordinary nature, and
what makes it equally extraordinary is that
it was entirely unheralded. The course of
civilization'is onward, heaping blessings in
its course, and will continue to be onward
while the present form and structure of the
earth shall last.

W-Gov. GEARY SUsTAINED.-Our rea
ders will remember that Gov. Geary, in his
late annual message, called the attention of
the Legislature to the fact that the judges
Of the criminal court of Philadelphia, had
released from prison more criminals within
the past year, than had been legally par.
doned by him, at which the judges took
great offence,and that Judge Allison in subse,
quently charging the grand jury took occa-
sion to reflect severely upon his Excellency.
Shortly after this case came up which gave
the Attorney General an opportunity to
test the question before the Supreme Court,
and he took measures to do SO. The case
has been tried and the decision of the Court
was given on Thursday. The Court decides
against the power of the criminal court to
reconsider, modify, or remit sentence and
thus sustains the position of Gov. Geary on
the subject.

The Washington Examiner says Mr.
Beden Bedout died at his residence in Am.
well township, on Thursday, Goth inst,
aged ninety-six years. Mr. B. was probably
the oldest living inhabitant of this country,
and had lived upon the farm where he died
seventy eight years. He emigratedto this
county, with his father in 1890 from Sussex
county, New Jersey. He married Margaret
Vaneman in 1904 and had thirteen chill
dren. His wife died in 1S4l, since which
time he lived with his son. When Mr.. B.
first came to this county the Indians made
frequent incursions into this region, and the
deceased was frequently compelled to fly
with his parents to ''block. house" located
on the land heretofore belonging to the
estate OF John s. Brady, decd, abou. one
mile east of Washington. Mr. Bebout, in
life of almost a hundred years, always
sustained the character of good citizen
and "honest man."

MIR. SHERMAN reported from the Finance
Committee of the Senate an amended bill
providing for the funding of the national
debt. In view of the tide of public opinion
setting in against the discharge of the obi.
cations of the Government in gold, Mr..
Sherman's plan of redemption will prove
popular and find favor with many Democrats
and Republicans. He claims that the public
faith would not be weakened, inasmuch as
every dollar of oebt will be paid with in
terest, in that sort of money which is ac-
knowledged by all classes as the currency OF
the country. He believes something must
be done to tighten the burdens left by the
war to weigh down industrial interests, and,
while his bill does not contemplate injustice
to the bondholder SO much as justice to the
peole, he urges that it should be favorably
acted upon by Congress. He takes the
ground that the obligations entered into in
the name of the Government by its officials,
while Congress was not in session, are not
binding-the Government not being respon-
sible for the representation Of its agents
and that 10 redeem five-twenties in any cur
rency but that in which they were bought,
would prove fatal to every commercial and
financial interest, depreciating public securi.

A bold and extensive robbery and attempt
at murder, was committed last Saturday
night a: Horsepger's mill, on Tulpohocken
creek, about three miles from Reading
Charles Long, the miller, was attacked in
the mill, about 2 A. NJ, by party of four
men, two of whom was disguised; was shot
with pistols, and robbed of $500, which he
had upon his person. lie was then left,
tied and it was discovered next morning
that his house had been entered during the
night by the same party, by means of o
second story window. Two of the bed
rooms were ransacked, and $4,000 in govern
ment bonds, $4,000 in greenbacks and $4,000
in gold were taken from the bureau. 1t is
supposed the thieves had some previous
knowledge of the situation of the premises
Three men, who were sleeping in the mill at
the time, were not wakened by the encounter
between Long and the robbers, as the mill
was going, nor were the family disturbed by
the entrance into the house. Mr.. Long had
returned the previous evening from Phila-
delphia, where he had drawn a considerable
sum of money at the Third National Bank.
No arrests had been made up to this time, a
reward has been offered, but the thieves,
doubtless well known in that section, had
not been arrested at last accounts.

WPREsIDENT JoHNsoS's PLEA on Ex.

PRESIDENT JoHNsoN's PLEA on Ex-
oUsE.--The President, in defence of his
course, in the removal Of Secretary Stanton,
puts in three contradictory pleas. His sew
eral defences are, first, that in removing Mr..
Stanton he has obeyed the Tenure of Office
Act; and, secondly, that in removing Mr..
Stanton be has disobeyed it, in order to
test it's constitutionality and, thirdly, that
the Tenure of Office Act has no bearing,
whatever, upon his right to make the order.
Each plea, it will seen, overturns the other.
President johnson makes out case almost
as complicated as the Dutchman's, who shot
his neighbor's dog. The Dutchman admit
ted that be had shot the dog, but as his
neighbor had sued him, let him prove it.
The plaintiff replied that the dog was utter
ly worthless, but as the defendant had shot
him, he must now pay his full value.

Barnum's Museum Burned.

New YoRK-2A. M-Thc fire at Barnums s
originated in the third story about half past
twelve this morning, but from what csuse is
unknown. The flames spread with cxtraor.
dinary rapidity, and the whole building was
enveoped in less than half au bour. All
.hc curiosities were destroyed, and most of
the wild animals were DESTROYED.
The little elephant, called tom Thumb" "
the giraffe, the kangaroo and one leopard
were saved.
Miss Swami, the giantess, and the Circas-
sian girl, who slept in the building, narrow
ly escaped with their lives.
The fire is stils burning and lights up the
whole city. The night is very cold, and
the iremen are working under great disad-
vantages, but they now have control and
the fire will not spread beyond the museum
building, which property will be total
loss, with the saloon and the store in the
basement. The total loss is estimated at
S500,00O.

SHAD IN THE SUsoUEHANNA.-Col. James
Worrall, Commissioner under the act OF
March 80, 1866, relating to the passage OF
fish in the Suspuehanna and its tributaries,
has made his report, in which he says that
the passage for fish constructed IN the Col
umbia dam is perfect success. Shad have
since been caught of the very finest quality,
and in respectable numbers, as high above
the Columbia and the Juniata, ranged from
ten to eighteen thousand. None of the
companies have complied with the act ex.
cept the Susquchanna coal company, who
have constructed satisfactory weir, which
affords an easy passage to the fish. Suits
have been broug ht in the Dauphin county
court, against the Pennsylvania railroad
company, and other interpretations owning
dams, to test the constitutionality of the
act, and is supposed the QUESTION would
soon be settled,
