Legislative DOings.

The Legislature met on Tuesday last
and organized by clecting Charles II.
Stinson as speaker of the Senate, and
b. b. Straug as speaker of the House.
Several important bills have already been
introduced
A bill fixing the salary Of the State
Treasurer at $4,000 and making it misde-
meanor to loan the Commonwealth
money for his private benefit, also appro-
priating the annual surplus to the payment
Of the State debt, was introduced in the
Senate on Thursday.
The expediency Of bringing in a bill to
abolish the death penalty in this State is
to be inquired into by the Senate Judici-
ary Committee.
The bill to restore the franking privi-
lige was after some discussion amenl-
ed as to allow each member 500 for post
age-the account to be kept by the clerk,
and in that shape passed the senate.
Committees were appointed to make
arrangements for the Inauguration Of the
governor, which is to take place on the
18th inst.
The Republican Caucus has nominated
r. Nj. Mackay for State Treasurer.
A committee, consisting Of eight Dem
ocrats and but one Republican, was drawn
in the House to try the contested eloc-
tion case Of Graham VS.. Mooney, in the
Sixth District, and another one consist
ing of five Democrats and four Republi-
cans to try the case of Geiss VS.. Forsyth.
A committee was drawn in the Senate
to try the contested election case Of Dia-
mond VS.. Watt, consisting Of five Repub-
licans and two Democrats.
A resolution was offered in the House
declaring Rev. NJ. Edwards of Lawrence
county, as Chaplain. Mr.. Craig thought
there was no proprietyin opening the ses-
sions with prayer, and the majority seemed
to agree with him as the resolution was
postponed. we are sorry if the mem
bers are past praying for this early in
the session.

A Man RObs and Stabs Himself.

A singular robbery occurred in the
Treasurers Office at Tama city. Iowa.
Early last month, and after careful search
by a detectives the Deputy Treasurer was
suspected and finally made confession
that he had robbed the safe himself, and
inflicted the injuries on his person.
He stated that the money was in the
safe, at his mercy, and that he became
possessed Of an unconquerable desire to
steal it. He took it and buried it under
the sidewalk of the Court House yard,
where it has since been found not dollar
missing. The wounds he made with a
knife, and then bumped his head against
the wall to produce the bruises. He
must have been man OF surprising
coolness, combined with great tenacity
Of purpose, to deliberately plan and
execute such scheme.
lie was taken back whence he came
and given in custody of the authorities
The surprise Of the people on learning
the true state of affairs may be imagined
Camerev. overcome with shame and
disappointment, shot himself on Tuesday
thus passing ignOminiously away at the
early age of %.
There seems to be no adequate motive
for the robbery. The unfortunate mau
was comparatively well off, the owner
of some valuable real estate, and in the
enjoyment Of a good salary.

CompoUnding Felonies.

The business tn at appears now to pay
the best, is stealing or robbing if one only
goes into the business on suffiently large
scale: but if only a petty rascal, his pun
ishment is swift and sure. The great
robbery committed short time since at
the Boylston Bauk in Boston,, furni hes
further proof of the truth of this state
ment. 1t is now asserted that the detec-
tives have the guilty parties where they
can at once arrest them but rs the un-
fortunate losers Of the bonds had only
offered one fifth of the property as re-
ward for the recovery Of the balance, the
detectives are waiting II better offer.
In the mean time they have the impu-
deuce to advice the owners to offer one
half Of the whole amount stolen as re-
ward for the recovery Of the remainder.
This will of course give them as well as
the thieves, a larger amount, and proves
the officers to be fully as great rascals as
the burglars,
This system of compounding felonies
has been carried to such an extent that
the punishment of thief or defaultey is
almost impossible if the amount involved
is only pretty large. If some change is
not soon made, people will have to rely
upon Vigilance Committees instead of the
officers of the law, for the protection of
their property

Attempted Murder and Suicide.

A man named John Ritchie, who has
a pretty gay wife, and of whose attention
to other people he is extremely jealous,
attempted to kill himself and her in a
rather novel way last week, at their
residence in New York lie was beating
his wife when her cries alarmed an officer
on post who rushed in the room, which
is in the second story As soon as Rtch-
lie espiod him he took his wife up in his
arms and rushed out of the window on to
the fire escape.
From this he made a spring to the yard
beneath, but the wife caught hold Of the
iron railing and clung to it until, by q
vigorous pull, Ritche compelled her tc
let 60 her hold, as she was dangling in
the air, holding on by one Of her arms
They both fell to the pavement, the
woman being dangerously injured. Lie
escaped unharmed and was arrested
The woman is not expected 10 recover.

The Governors Message.

The message of Governor Geary was
delivered to the Legislature on the 5th
instant. 1t is quite lengthy, but we make
some extracts which will give our read
ers general idea Of its contents. The
Governor earnestly protests against Legis-
lation Of private character, and sug-
gests that greater care be taken Of the
State at large.
The message shows that the receipts of
the State Treasury for the year ending
November Both, have been-including
the balance on hand from the year pre-
ceding-$6, ,254,636 So, while the dis
bursements have been $4,853,774 16,
leaving balance in the Treasury ON the
Both of November, Of 81, ,400,SG2 40
The debt Of the State at that date was
S32,914,55 95. The reduction during
the year has been little over -Four
Hundred and Seventy-two Thousand dol
lars
He suggests that the Commissioner of
the Sinking Fund be authorised to en-
ploy the surplus funds in the purchase Of
bonds of the State next falling due
He also advocates an increase Of pay to
the State Treasurer, as means of cor
recting the scramble for the Office, which
is now dsgracing the State. We fail,
however, to see how this will correct the
evil, but it seems to us it will rather
aggrayate it.
The Legislature is urged to pay imme-
diate attention to the appropriation bills,
so that the governor may not be compel
led to hurriedy sign at the close of the
session. This is suggestion which the
the Legislature will, by complying with,
do credit to themselves and crafty their
constituents.
From the message we also learn, that
there are but five districts in the State
that have not already accepted the proyi-

nA.A poor fellow named Thomas
Coyne, sentenced to the Massachusetts,
State Prison for life, attempted to end
his earthly existence last week by making
IL desperate plunge, head foremost, from
the fourth corridor in the south wing to
the solid granite pavement, nearly forty
feet below Miraculous as it seems, he
was in no way injured, and literally
escaped without a bruise.
A wooden stool happened to stand on
the spot where he fell, and his body,
turning in the descent, was precipitate
upon it crushing it to splinters. The
stool saved his life, for if he had fallen
upon the stone floor every bone in his
body must have been shattered. He was
taken up in an unconscious condition and
carried to the hospital, where he soon
revived, and in a short time commenced
to walk about, only complaining of slight
lanleness in his legs.

A Terrible Tragedy.

A terrible tragedy occurred at Sleepy
Hollow, n Y .,on the afternoon Of the LIST
instant.
A man named V. w. Buckout shot
his wife, a New York merchant named
Alfred Randall, and a son Of the latter,
named Charles Randall. Mrs. Buckout
was shot in the temple, Alfred Randall
through the heart, and Charles Randall
in the side. Mrs. Duckout and Charles
Randall are dead, and the elder Randall
is in very critical condition. Buckout
gave himself up Immediately, and was
lodged in Jail at White Plains. The
cause of the appalling tragedy is un-
known. Some persons ascribe it to jeal-
ousy, and others believe Buckout to be
INSANE.

sions of the school law The educational
condition of the children in the common


wealth is thus stated:
Attending the Public Schools ........ S15753
Attending Private Schools, 5000
Not attending Schools of any kind, ....... 5000
Whole number Of Children. ............ g75T53
1t would hardly seem possible that so
large number of children failed to avail
themselves Of school advantages but if
such is the fact, it is high time some
means were taken to compel parents and
guardians to pay more attention to the
education of children under their care.
The Orphan Schools are represented
as being in satisfactory condition, hav-
ing under their care at the present time
1851 pupils. That the sanitary condi-
tion Of the schools is good, is proven by
the fact that the number of deaths has
been less than one to every three hun
dred pupils. The current expenses Of
these schools for this year are estimated
at $400,700.
The governor also calls attention to the
fact that the State has made no provision
for the care of disabled soldiers, and
suggests that some means be taken to pro-
vide an asylum for their benefit.
The Avondale disaster is alluded to as
showing the Importance Of passing Il
law compelling all mines to provide more
than one avenue Of egross.
While many persons in the state COM
plain Of the number Of pardons granted,
the Governor makes still louder complaint
of the great number Of applications which
he is forced to consider during the year.
1t appears that the number Of applica-
tions were fifteen hundred and ffty-two,
of which eleven hundred and eight were
rejected, three hundred and eighty are
still under consideration, and sixty two
only were granted. From this it would
seem that the Governor has the most
reason to complain.
Appended to the message is a report
sta ting for what reason these pardons
were granted and upon whose recon-
mendations. The number Of death war
rants issued during the year was seven
The message closes with few sugges-
tions on national offices, which plainly
show that the Governor is not in favor OF
contraction of our currency, but he be-
lieves that the interests of the country
demand larger supply Of the circula-
ting medium.

Gently sent East as a missionary to
the homogeneous heathens of New
York and other gentle cities was
about to descant upon the beauties
of polygamy to the Germans of
Gotham, when he ascertained that
one of his fayorite wives bad escaped
and fed to parts unknown. He was
compelled in consequence to disap-
point his audience, and go in pur-
suit of the fugitive beauty, whom be
found in the Quaker city of Phila-
delphia but as the laws of Penn
sylvania know nothing about the
return of fugitive wives and com
pelling unwilling ladies to share the
fractional affections even OF the son
of a prophet with a dozen others,
and there being no Danites at his
call to enforce his divine command,
he is compelled, for the present at
least, to come down one step on the
ladder of exaltation, as the Mormon
idsa is that for every wife the hus-
band has he is exalted one step in
heaven, and that his exaltation ex-
alts also his wives.
