HARR1spuRe, Feb 10, 1870.

Mr.. Editor-Among the things of note
that occurred in this place during the last
week was the reunion of the Typographi-
cal Union of Harrisburg at Bottoms Hotel
on last Saturday evening, the 18th inst
This institution has been in existence for
number of years, and numbers among
it's ex-presidents Weaver, MCReynolds,
Taylor, Engle, Adams and Kinneard.-
George Bergner was the presiding officer at
the banquet. Much good feeling prevail
ed during the whole entertainment.
Col Bolton himself practical printer
seemed to understand the wants of the
craft and did ample credit to himself and
his guests. Many appropriate toasts were
offered and responded to by members of
the Union. Senator Wallace responded i'll
neat and pointed manner to " The Press,
&c. He did it i'll his own happy and char
acteristic style. Gov. Geary who was there
by special request, replied in powerful
speech to "Our Commonwealth. l think
every one present was more than pleased
with his remarks. Altogether the whole
affair was magnificent beyond description
and could only be appreciated by those who
were present.
The Legislature is dragging it's work
along slowly. The Senate is in session on
an average about twelve hours per week.
The House devotes a trifle more time to bu-
sincss Lobby jobs are unusually scarce
this winter, and many lobby members say
this session is not worth a d-n. So
much the better for the people. The pro-
posed license law has undergone some radi-
cal changes. AS the bill now stands with
it's amendments, any county in the State
can by a majority of it's legal voters say
whether the courts shall grant license OF
not. 1t will scarcely pass in its present
shape. The bill in reference to writs Of
error in carrying case to the Supreme
Court which was supposed to be intended
for the special benefit Of Paul Schoeppe
and vetoed by the Governor, became law
by the requisite two-thirds in both Houses.
The bill for the new county of Petrolia is
yet in durance and will scarcely pass. The
case of Col. Findlay vs. Scull has been fin.
ally decided by the committee in favor OF
| Findlay. The committee on Diamond VS.
| Watt are still taking evidence. Nothing
worthy of note has transpired i'll the treas
ury investigation. Adams who was ap
pointed by resolution of the House of Rep
resentatives to read Washington's Fare
well Address to that body on the 22nd inst,
has replied in very sarcastic manner tc
the resolution by a note to the speaker Hon
Strang. Both Houses adjourned yesterday
to meet OH next Wednesday.

AtrOciOus Cruelty and Murder.

A most brutal murder was committed
in Norfolk county a day or two since, at
a place called Hickory Ground, the par
ticuars Of which are as follows A negro
family, named Seguine, had boy in
their employ, whom they sent to Il
grocery store to purchase dollars worth
of pork, giving him ten dollar note to
pay for the same, and instructing him to
be careful and bring back the change
The boy went to the store, purchased
the pork and returned, but on the way
back he lost the nine dollars change
Seguine charged the boy with stealing
the money, and gave him an unmcrciful
beating with horse whip breaking his
collar bone.
On the following morning the boy
started off with the intention Of having
Seguine arrested for beating him. Sc
guine, fearing the result, started in pursuit
of the boy, accompanied by one or two
others Of the family. They overlook the
boy near place of woods, into which
they dragged him, and in their fendish
rage cut out his tongue by the roots,
after which they ended his sufferings by
cutting his throat from ear to ear, and
hid the boy in the woods.
The boys absence was noticed, and
inquiries were made as to his wherea-
bouts Receiving no satisfactory infor-
nation, suspicion was aroused and anum-
Der Of other negroes started in search Of
the eboy, whose body was discovered where
the Seguines had left it. Sheriff Stevens
was notified of the fact, and he proceeded
to the place to hold an inquest, while
the Seguines, getting wind of it, left
suddenly for parts unknown. Efforts arc
now being made to arrest them, and it is
to be hoped that they may be arrested
and speedily brought to justice. The
missing change was afterwards found neal
the house where Seguine resided.

Bsy~ A few days ago a family residing
in Philadelphia named McGiff, rented a
new fve-roomed house in Gloucester.
On Saturday last one load of furniture
was taken down there. On Saturday
night John McGiff, young man of %,
belonging to the family, went down to
take charge Of the goods over Sunday,
and also to arrange them by the time the
balance of the family should arrive.
With him was friend of about the same
age They were seen about ten o'clock
at night for the last time. The family
in the city wondered why John didn't re-
turn, and on Monday sent one Of his
brothers to discover the cause of his
lengthy absence.
On reaching the house he found the
shutters securely closed and the doors all
barred Procuring assistance, he forced
open one OF the latter, and entering, met
a scene as horrible as it was heartrending
Stretched upon the floor lay the bodies
Of the two young men cold in death and
discolored almost beyond recognition. In
one corner stood table and some dirty
dishes, the remaining traces Of their last
supper, and in another portion of the room
stood the instrument of destruction-i
small stove half filed with ashes and un
consumed Goals

Tuesday, February 22, 1870.

The bill allowing Writs of Error to
issue by right, in criminal, as well as in
civil cases, and making it the duty of the
Supreme Court to review both evidence
and law, which bill was vetoed by the
Governor-has been passed over his veto
1t is supposed this bill was originated
to benefit DR.. Schoeppe, but in what man
ncr it is to benefit him, we are unable to
see, as the Supreme Court has already
affirmed the decision Of the court below
IT, as some assert, the Supreme Court
must review all the testimony upon which
Il party was convicted and if they differ
with the jury, set aside the verdict on the
ground of the evidence being insufficient
to convict; it seems to us that jury trials
might as we'll be done away with at once.
We doubt very much, whether this Grim

An Interesting viii Case.

Richard Dryden Addington died a few
months ago in N. Y. having left all his
property, amounting to about $4,000, to

Some interesting testimony has already
been given before the Surrogate, and a
lawyer, among others, testifes that de-

RECEIPTS FROM INCOME TAX.

present appearances, will show still

thirty millions of dollars will not be re-

IT IS announced that the Committee
on "Ways and Means" have unanimous
ly agreed to recommend a reduction in
the tax for the next fiscal year, Of thirty
millions of dollars, part of which re-
duction is to be made by reducing the
Income Tax.
IF they wish to decrease the internal
revenue that amount, the most gratifying
way to the country would be to do away
entirely with the tax on incomes and
thereby save the expense of its collection.
TO be sure this would interfere with some
of the holders, but then if they
must be cared for at the public expense,
it would be more honorable to pension
them at once,
The following table will show the
amount which has been received from
this source each year, since the enact
ment of the law, and from this we car
easily estimate the amount to be derived
from this tax next year:

The annual report Of the Directors Of
the Pennsylvania railroad company is a
document of considerable interest, and
one that cannot fail to be as satisfactory
to the stockholders, as it is creditablo to
the managers.
From the report we learn that the gross
earnings of the company for the past year
were SIT .250.SlI73, the expenses $l2.
203.267 go, leaving the net earnings at
$5047.54413.
The number of passengers carried du-
ring the year was 4.229.463. The COM
pany also moved the enormous amount of
4.902.025 tons of freight. The directors
also report that they now have control
ling influence over connecting lines as far
west as the Mississippi river, at which
point they propose to limit their extern
sion unless circumstances should compc
them to go further. The further west
the ?. r. r. company can push their in
fucnce, the better it will be for this
State, and Philadelphia, particularly.
