Present and not voting-Mr. Kerr.
No valid e1cuss can be given for this raid
on the treasury. 1t is simply an outrage,
and in the expressive language of Falstaff,
is "robblng the e1chsqusr with unwashed
hands" The salary Of a mem Der, as fixed
by law, is one thousand dollars and mileage,
without any limitation as to the leagth Of
the session. Who are are to blame for the
continuance Of the session after the middle
of April Not the tax payers Of the Com
mon wealth, but the members themselves,
and they alone should bear the burden
We expected better things from a Demo
cratic Senate. Indeed. that body became
ashamed of its own action, and on the next
day adopted a resolution directing the
Speaker not to sign the joint resolution. for
the present. Whether the Senate will finally
agree to stand by its original vote, or be
guided by its sober second thought, remains
to be seen.

ly name Castney, consisting of father, mother
and an only child named Susan, about three
years Of age. Saturday Mrs. Castney. hav-
ing occasion to go for water, took Susan
with her, and while she was drawing water
from the creek, the child strayed from her.
and stepping unobservcd into boat which
was moored to the shore, she loosened it and
it began drifting down stream. When Mrs.
Castney was ready to return home, she look
ed about for her child. and saw her alone in
the boat far from shore. and rapidly nearing
the falls below, which are twenty feet In
height.
The mother shrieked, and her cries soon
brought number OF persons. AS they
looked In mute suspense the boat suddenly
capsized, and the little form was seen strug-
Cling in the water. When tho struggle
ceased the little girl was seen clingiog to
the guard of the boat, which now was almost
on the verge of the falls. As it drifted nearer
and nearer destruction the woman shrieked,
and the stoutsst hearts quailed. A moment
more, and both child and boat had disap-
peared.
BY this time a multitude had gathered
the foot of the falls, and as the skiff -,
with the little girl still clinging to it. plung-
cd over, boat shot out from the shore and
rescued the child. At first abe was sup
posed to be dead, but after awhile she re-
vived, and was fully recovered.

a BLAST AGAINST BEAST BUTLER-Ben
Butler has just made speech to the negroes
of Boston, which is 90 extremely Radical as
to call forth denunciation from the New
York Tribune and other Republican news
papers. The Harrisburg State Journal,
Governor Geary's personal organ, goes for
the hsathen Butler In the following rough
style:
"Gsn. Butler is today the greatest bore
and imposition the Republican party ia
compelled to carry. He is determined, by
hook or by crook. to keep himself in the
pnblic eye and ear, regardless of how much
he disgraGes the party to which he Processes

ticable as they are insincere, you dare not
rely on their performances, or trust their
professions. Why can't Gen. Grant give
Butler rowing commission to visit and re-
main In Europe for the Dcxt two years, and
give us q report on the moving cause of
French revolutions. He should do this for
Butler or-once more bottle him."
Grant tried making war upon Butler
once. but the Beast prepared nine column

which was put in type and proof sent to
the President. Grant read the damaging
review of his life and career. and then, like
Capt. Scott's coon, he came down at once

PARIS EKTKRED.-After three days heavy
fighting the Versailles troops succeeded on
Monday in entering Paris at two points
the gate Of st. Cloud in the southwest
quarter and the gate of Montrougs on the
south. The efforts of Marshal, MacMahon
have been directed principally against these
parts Of Paris, and we learn by the dispatch
es that previous to the entry of the city
that the St. Cloud gate was battered down.
Montrouge was stormed and captured -
Auteuil and Passy had been bombardsd in
cessantly. and the ramparts of the city
swept by terrible fire. The communists
made desperate efforts to repair and protect
the gates. but without avail. After the
capture of Montrougs and Petit Vanves
they fell back and re-entered Paris in the
greatest disorder. General Douai's division
followed on their heels and rushed In by the
ST. Cloud gate. A flag of truce was hosted
at Auteuil. inside the ramparts, and Douai
advanced as far as the viaduct OF the Circu-
lar Railway. meeting but feeble resistance.
Generals Ludmirault and Cinchamps were
preparing to follow. The Paris dispatches
state that General Cecilia has retreated into
the city, that Dom bowski is in command in
the Bo;s &c Boulogne. and that Wroblswski
is at Gentilly, which is southeast of Mon
trouge. There is panic in Paris, and it is
reported that Pyat, Grousset, and other In.
surgent leaders have disappeared. The
crisis has come, and the Commune Is evident
ly Ia the last ditch.

ALTHOUGH the committee on resolutions
Of the Radical State Convention refused to
report one In favor Of the denomination of
Grant for the Presidency, an amendment
to that effect was offered to the ninth resolu
tlon by Judge Peter Chrysoston Shannon, of
Pittsburgh. This amendment, thus sudden
iy sprung upon the convention, was strongly
resisted by several members of more polit-
ical sagacity than Judge Shannon, but beirg
presented. the'convention dared not refuse to
pass it. and it was adopted. The Demo-
cratic party most cordially endorse Judge
Shannon's amendment. 1t would be salts
factory to know what Office Grant will be-
stow on the Judge. as suitable reward for
this successful flank movement In the con-
vention on his behalf. 1t was a service that
demands ample and speedy recognition.

things that were peculiar, he (Scott) said
that "in his (Grant's) hands the destinies

compelled Grant 10 abandon bis original
programme. and let San Domingo be buried

and fraudulent In Its inception, as well as
in its subsequent progress. and has dissp-
pearsd before the opposition Of the people
speaking through tho press. The effect Of
his Ku Klu1 bill. under the manipulation
and management Of John Scott. who Is
chairman of the committee of investigation
under it, will prove as disastrous to his ad-

negotiations with his willing friend Baez.-

in which ho has vcntured out Of his beaten
path to attempt it. most inglorious failure

The SHERIFF OF CAMDEN COUNTY
ARRESTED AND KEPT IN CUSTODY
WITHOUT WARRANT OR AUTHORITY.
This portion of Georgia seems to
be bound hand and foot and deliver
ed to a set of lawless set of vaga-
bonds, alias negroes, who are the
pampered pets of the government,
permitted to de just as they please /;
at least one would think so from the
repeated outrages committed by
them, and that with seeming i'm
munity from censure or punishment.
A few days ago the worthy sheriff Of
Camden county, Mr.. Hamilton Simp-
son, was visited by band of these
lawless ruffians at his own home,
about Y miles from this place.
There were at least 80 armed ne
groes in the crowd, and without ex-
PLANTATION of any kind, they compell-
ed him to leave home and accom-
pany them to certain place, dis
tant about ten miles. There they
kept their prisoner in custody for a
considerable length of time without
giving him any satisfactory reason
for their conduct, and without ex-
hibiting any warrant or authority for
his arrest, They finally released
him, and he returned to his home.

AN ILLINoISIAN GIVES AWAY
THIRTY EIGHT FARMS.

Mike Kitterman is an old, indus
trious, and prosperous farmer, living
near Tiskiwa, ILL.,, and is we'll known
in that part of the State as heavy
land owner and an extensive sheep
raiser. Mr.. Kitterman arrived in
Illinois in 1880, from Kentucky,
with something less than ten dollars
in his pocket. He was then twenty
six years of age. He wanted to
cross the river at Peoria, but, as the
ferryman asked four dollars for the
privilege, he jourpeyed along up the
river on horseback. Finally he
discovered log by the side of the
river, and getting aStride of it, he
held the horses bride in one hand
and padded himself across with the
other He campcd on the prairie,
and next day resumed his journey
up the river. He journeyed on to
the place where he now lives, and
determined to make that his future
home. He bought over three thou
sand acres of land, and still has six
hundred acres on the old homestead.
He has given away thirty-eight
eighty-ac farms to his children
and relatives, and they are all locat-
ed near him. AS stock raiser he
has had great success, and 1t is salc
he never sold but two loads of corr
in market. In the last ten years h'
has raised four thousand bushels o
corn and he has brought as mncl
more for feeding purposes. He ha
now on the place over two hundred
head Of cattle, one hundred ant
seventy head of hogs, and sevent,
sheep. He says his experience o
forty years farming in Illinois teach
es him that it is far more profitable
to feed grain than to sell it aud b.
following up this rule he has made 1
large fortune. Kitterman is nov
about seventy-eight years of age
and is in the enjoyment of gooC
health, as well as ample fortune.
