ter. There are more names left from
the list than one would imagine, and
yours may be among those who have
been missed. Some of the registers
have made very ridiculous errors in
spelling the names of voters and put
ting down their christian names, and it
is the best plan to have the matter
made correct This bad photography
may give voters trouble at the polls and
cause them to lose their franchise.

We learn from the Bedford Gazette that
JchD Cessna has served notice on Benjamin
F. Meyers that be will contest his (Meyers')
right TO his seat in the next Congress. This
movement on the part of Cessna fully meets
public expectation. 1t is some satisfaction,
however, to know that the Congress which
will pass upon and determine the status of
Cessna will be composed of very different
material from the present partisan body
One thing is certain-the present infamous
najority of the Committee on Elections viii
not then be in existence to annul and con-
temptuously set aside the legally expressed
win Of Democratic constituencies and to
reat elections as if they never had occurred.
John Cessna will appear before that COM
Eittee in the humiliating attitude Of begging
a seat from his politica. friends which he
was not able to secure through all his well
known dnplici:y. notwithstanding ''the col
ored troops fought nobly" in his district and
gave him between SIX and eight hundred
new votes.

Reform Convention or.Isss.

A few days ago, in looking over the names
of the members of the Constitutional, or. as
it was styled, the Reform Convention, which
met at Harrisburg in 1887 and completed
its labors at Philadelphia on the 22d of Feb :
ruary, 1888, our curiosity prompted US to
ascertain how many of them are yet living.
AS far as we can judge, the following may
be taken as pretty correct list of the sur
vivors of that able and intellectual body of
men: Daniel Agnew of Beaver. Ephraim
Banks of Miff1i u Charles Brown Of Philadel-
phia, (now of the State of Delaware,) Jos.
R. Chandler of Philadelphia, A. j. Cline OF
Bedford, R. E. Cochran of Lancaster, John
d. Gamble of Lycoming. Henry G. Long OF
Lancaster, Benjamin Martin of Philadelphia,
VIM. NJ. Meredith of Philadelphia, Christian
Myers of Clarion, James Pollock of North
cumberland, Samuel a Purviance of Butler,
II. Gold Rodgers of Allegheny, b. W. Stud
want of Luzerne, James Todd Of Indiana,
r. G. White Of Toga, and George w. Wood
ward Of Luzerne-making eighteen in all
1t will thus be seen that in thirtY-two years
death has terribly decimated the ranks of
the members Of that convention. We may
here remark that, although Thaddeus Ste-
vens was one of the very foremost men in
the convention, his name does not appear tc
the draft of the Constitution as adopted by
its trainers. He stubbornly refused to sign
it because the first section of article third
prescribing the qualifications of voters, con-
tained to him the hated word, '.,chite."

STRANGE PHENoMENoE-The inhabitants
of Basket Station ON the Delaware division,
Erie Railway, were treated to a -frst-class
sensation. About two miles north of the
place three acres of land heavily timbered
with hemlock. occupying an elevated posi-
tiou, suddenly sank below the surface, dis
appearing in a manner similar to load Of
dirt when the bottom is let out of the wagon.
There WAS no apparent cause, but it has GER
tainly sunk to the depth of about forty feet
leaving the tops of the trees just visible
above the surface. The sinking was accom-
panied by loud crash, which died away in
a dull rumble. heard at considerable dis
tance. The trees are standing in their natu-
raj positions, having evidently experienced
no particular injury in their descent.
1t is usual when such freaks of nature
occur for the sunben earth to be immediate
ly submerged by volumes of water, but in
this instance no such phenomenon attends.
The soil is Of clayey nature, and tie sides
of the chasm formed by the sinking present
smooth and even appearance, as if huge
spade had been thrust down, and the earth
thrown out.
The people at the Basket. and from the
surrounding country for miles. visited the
scene of the phenomenon on Sunday, and
viewed it with awe and CONSERVATION. They
don't like to be close to where the bottom
seems to be dropping out of terrestrial things.

South Carolina Election.

From the official returns il appears that
the Republicans carried everything before
them in South Carolius Governor, Lieuten-
ant Governor, all four Congressman, and an
overwhelming majority in the Legislature.
Scott, the Governor, is reelected by SO ,594
majority, being almost double the majority
by which President Grant carried the State
in 1868. A. j. Ransier, negro, is elected
Lieutenant Governor; JOS. II. Rainey, negro,
to Congress in the First District; R. G. De
Large. negro, in the Second r. r. Elliott,
negro, in the Third and A. l. Wallace,
white Republican, in the Fourth. Eleven
out Of the thirty-one State Senators and
eighty out of the one hundred and twenty
four Representatives are negroes, and this
added to a negro Lieutenant Governor. negro
Secretary of State, negro Justice of the Su
prome Court, aud three negro Congressmen
out Of four, gives South Carolina a rather
dark political aspect just at present in more

SIMON CAMERON has gone down to Geor>
gia to make radical speeches and to estab-
lish a National Bank at Savannah. An
election is to be held in that State during
the latter part of December for SeUen mem
hers of Congress. The State is at present
unrepresented both 10 the House and in the
Senate. although corrupt and mercenary
carpet-bagger by the name of Bullock. who
halls from the interior of New York. acts as
its Governor, and with the approval of Con-
gress and the administration, pluuders and
oppresses the people. The recent triumph
Of the Democratic party In Alabama and
Florida, both of which States adjoin Geor-
gia, renders it highly important that the
latter State should vote the radical ticket,
and hence Cameron. from his well known
antecedents, was selected to bring about
that desirable result. From the character
Of the agent employed, a brilliant Democrat
ic victory may be anticipated. Cameron
will be ont of his old and favorite baiIiwick
and will quickly discover that the people of
Georgia have not descended quite so low in
the scale Of political morality as his venal
tools in the Pennsylvania Legislature.

If the wandering death.bed utterances OF
the two great Confederate chieftains "Stone-
wall" jackson and Robert e. Lee, may be
considered as final in the matter, then the
late Confederate General A. P. Hill, who
lost his life in the closing battle of the war,
must be accepted by history as the most
trusted coadjutor of these eminent command
ers. In his dying moments Jackson ex-
claimed, ''Send A. P. Hin to the front 20
Upon his deatb-bed at Lexington, General
Lee, as the telegraph states. his mind revert
ing to the bloody events of the war, 'once
ordered his tent to be struck. and at another
time desired Hill to be sent for" Thus does
it appear that, in the supreme moments of
the closing hours of those men upon whose
shoulders rested the heaviest burdens of the
war upon the side of the Confederacy, came
the utterances. born of delirium, but more
solemn FOR that reason, that stamps General
P. Hill IS man whose presence was to be
desired and whose fidelity was assured. No
higher compliment could be paid TO his
memory than these parting words Of Lee and
jackson.

WM. w. WATT, Republican State SEM
ator from the first Philadelphia district, died
IL that city on last Friday. His death
makes tie between the two political par
ties in the SeDate-sixteen Democrats and
sixteen Radicals. Where vacancy occurs
in either House by death, resignation. or
otherwise, it is the duty Of the Speaker to
issue his writ ordering special election,
which must take place not less than fifteen
nor moro than thirty days from the time it
bears date. Gen. White was elected Speak
er Of the Senate at the close of the last ses-
sion, Whether he will issue his writ to tbe
Sheriff of Philadelphia now, or postpone
doing so until after the meeting Of the Leg
islature on the first Tuesday in January,
remains to be seen. A few years ago, iu
1864 we think, precisely the same state of
affairs existed at the meeting OF the Senate.
John 7. Penny, Of Allegheny county, was
then Speaker of that body and decided that
where neither Of the candidates had a ma
iority of all the votes cast, the Speaker elect
ed at the end Of the previous session (Penny
himself) held over. until new Speaker was
elected. Penny's ruling in his own case,
which was regarded at the time by the best
Parllamentarians ia the State as totally IN
sJund. clogged the wheels Of legislation and
produced confusion worse confonnded. We
do not wish 10 see that experiment repeated,
and trust that Gen. White viii promptly
order an election to supply the vacancy be-
fore the Senate conyenes, let the result o! the
contest be what it may. The interests OF
the people of Tho whole State demand that
this should be done.
