RUNAWAY AT LEBANoN.-On last
Monday, at Lebanon, Mr.. VIM. S. Elkins
and wife were considerably hurt by the
running away of team. Mrs. Elkins
had just got into the wagon, and Mr..
Elkins was hitching the last trace, when
the horses started. Mr.. E. jumped for
the lines, but succeeded in getting hold
of but one, to which he held until it was
forced from his grasp. He was dragged
a considerable distance, when the wagon
passed over his right foot, fracturing
some of the bones, causing q. painful
wound, which will compel him to GO
on crutches for some time. Mrs. Elkins
got over the spring seat into the wagon
bed, and rolled out at the rear end of the
wagon, falling on her head and shoulders
When picked up she was insensible, bu,
soon revived upon receiving proper at
tention, and was found, beyond receiving
some pretty severe bruises upon the face
and shoulders, not to have received any
serious damage. The team ran at full
speed some two miles out on the prairie
carrying part of the wagon with them
and, with the exception of breaking
doubletree, neither horses or wagon were
damaged by the cracas. Under the treat
ment of DIR. Odell, of Lebanon, Mr.
Elkins is getting along finely.

to the Franco-Prussian war, we can un-
hesitatingly recommend Lloyd's Map of
Europe and North America,-a double
map. On one side is full and accurate
map of Europe, and on the reverse, the
North American continent. 1t is the
most complete, fullest aud haudiest for
reference, in the map line. that has yet
been published. Our townsman, John
Smith, Esq, has them for sale, and
he will be pleased to furnish, already for
hanging, any number of these superior
maps, to those of our citizens who wish
TO post themselves in the geography of
the country, now swarming with armed
legions on bloody war intent.

GENEsAI BUTLER yesterday completely de-
molished the leading positions taken by Mr..
Dawes in his late speech on national expendi-
lures. Economy, in the nation as well as
in theState, cannot be too highly commended,
and the people are ever ready to applaud
those who attempt to check extravaganza, but
it is disgraceful for the leader of great
party specially entrusted with the careful
consideration of appropriations to prostitute
his position to the narrow purposes of o
demagogue, and to spread broadcast host of
misrepresentation which plainly imply either
gross ignorance or wanton falsehood. OF
this offense Mr.. Dawes was yesterday clearly
convicted, and he has forfeited all claims to
the confidence of his fellow-members and the
country. In attempting to create the false
impression that the present administration
was spending more money than its prede-
cessor, he resorted to the most unworthy sub
terfuges, and the utter unreliability of his
statements is now clearly established. In
stead of successfully assailing the admins
tration, the rebound of his weapon has
knocked the owner over, and he is much
more seriously wounded than the objects of
his malevolence. M WsElwI

and General Tate, his Minister at Washington,

death of Salnaye gave any assurance that peace

for congratulation, but there is scarcely any
doubt that the men who united to crush

sALNAYE SHOT.

GENERAL TURIN SALNAvR, the celebrated Hay
tien insurrectionary chief, it seems has at
last paid the penalty of the deeds of violence
that have characterized his career. A des-
patch from Charleston, South Carolina, in
forms us that the French sloop of war
Lenier, which arrived there yesterday,
brought the intelligence that Salnave was
sentenced to death and shot on the 10th in
slant. This man has been prominent in all
the revolutionary struggles that have con-
vulsed Hayh for twenty years past, and he
has apparently only now obtained his just
deserts. He brought himself prominently into
notice in July, 1864, by an attempt to assassi-
nate one of the ministers of President Geffrard.
For this act he was tried by court-martial
and condemned to death, but he succeeded in
escaping to st. Domingo, where he organized
q rebellion against Geffrard, and obtained a
partial foothold in Hayti. Salnave organized
a provisional government, with himself at the
head of it as President, in May, 1866, but
Geffrard, in November of the same year, de-
feated him and scattered his adherents. Sal
nave subsequently renewed the attempt, and
this time he managed to obtain the supreme
power. In June, 1867, he granted an amnesty
to all Haytiens except Geffrard, and proceeded
to reorganize the Government on basis of his
own. Hewas not permitted, however, to enjoy
his power for any great length of time, for in
August, 1867, revolt against him broke out, /,
and since then Hayti has been distracted by
the contentious of rival chiefs. Several
leaders combined their forces against Sal
nave, and they gradually succeeded in driving
him to the wall The last Intelligence that
we had Of Sainave was that he, with thirty of
his chief partisans, was shut up in Fort Ma
tional, at PortSu-Prince, and that price of

A very large number Of citizens are earnestly
opposed to the Independence Square project,
and if they constitute majority, 1t would be
serious wrong to commit them, against their
will, to that site. A direct vote will decide
finally what the public wishes are, and it is
manifestly just that they should be asoer-
tanned and respected.

ECONOMY AT HARRISBURG.

ONE of the Philadelphia members of the State
Legislature offered burlesque bill yester-
day, setting forth that whereas certain
goblets were broken and towels destroyed in
the cloak-room, therefore large tin-cUps and
ooffee-sao be furnished" He was little
more daring, but scarcely more unscrupulous,
than large proportion of his colleagues, in
treating the whole subject of retrenchment
and reform in this jocular manner. 1t is such
an easy and profitable thing to vote away the
peoples money, and it is so annoying to
either surrender or to exercise circumspectly
this privilege, that we do not wonder at the
disposition to ridicule all restraints upon
the power of the Legislators. Many of them
have intrigued to obtained their present seats
mainly for the purpose of profiting by be-
trayal of the trust imposed by too confding
people, and they are 10th to surrender any
one of the established opportunities for
cheating their constituents. There was a
time when members of the Assembly guarded
the interests of the State with the utmost
care and acted in good faith on all questions,
but the ruling desire now seems to be to ex-
tract the greatest possible amount of profit
to the representative, and do the least public
good to the millions represented It would
scarcely be burlesque for a large proportion
of the members of the Senate and House to
frankly define their position as follows
Whereas, We have come to Harrisburg not
to advance the welfare of the Commonwealth,
but to promote our private interests, we
hereby invite all corporations, cormorants,
and jobbers who can invent schemes suffi-
ciently profitable to leave large margin for
divvies, to come forward, pay charges, and
have their bills passed, SO that the people
