The Presidents Proposed Southern
TOuF.

The southern newspapers OF oil shades
oil opinion have spoken kindly OF the
Presidents proposal to visit the Southern
states this spring, and there can be no
doubt that he would be cordially received
by the people. 1t is regretted, therefore,
that the President finds the business OF
his office so pressing at the beginning OF
bis new term that he must postpone his
trip, although he will not abandon It.
The condition of the South has much i'm.
proved during the last few months, and
the President might do much TO promote
still further improvement by an extended
tour OF observation. He has OF course
been greatly misinlormed as TO the char
acter Of his opponents there, and it would
be one ofthe best things he could do to
throw off all the bad political influence
that has surrounded him from the car
pet-bag" factions, and take his Informs
ton at first hand. This is what the
southern newspapers invite him TO DO
On the other hand, the southern people
need to learn much which they will never
learn until they are able 10 satisfy their
own eyes that the President is not Il
Bluebeard or Bomba, Social and pOlit'
iCal skeletons have been the chief OBJ
staCles!to reconciliation in the South, and
frecr intercourse is needed TO drive them
out of mind. The astonishing facts when
enforced on the popular mind, that the
Ku.Klux are human beings, and that the
Yanks are not all ghouls, will put the
finishing touches on recoDstruction.-R

PoMERoY's DEFENCE.-Although the
evidence in the Pomeroy case was con-
sidered closed on Monday, the Senatorial
defendant seems TO have reserved his
grsnd coup for yesterday. His defence
as now finally put forth, amounts TO this
He promised to lend friend Is. A Page,
money enough to start National Bank
he sent the money to Page by York, Civ
ing him 5000 at one time, and $4,000 at
another, in different rooms at hotel; this
money was borrowed by him for this pur
pose; he took no note or receipt from
York; he had only verbal agreement
with Page; he took no nolc or receip;
from Page; expected none; asked fol
none. This statement Is supported by
Page, who swears that POmeroy prom
ised him that amount OF money. This is
the whole case. OF course, neither Page
nor any other man (unless it was Pomeroy
or York; knew that the $1,000 which
York received from Pomeroy was in

have York's sworn statement that the
$1,000 was bride. Page says that

The Haunted school House.


A letter written by Miss Lucy A. Per-
kins, teacher at the haunted school house
in Newburyport, has the following in an
swer to inquiries concerning an account
of the affair published in newspaper,
says:
1.-THE account you send me is true, with
a few exceptions. When | first saw the
boy, he was neatly attired In brown suit
OF clothes, trimmed with braid and but
tons Of the same color. When l reached
forth to grasp him, he seemed not like the
boy, but vapory, or, as can only describe
it, like thin cloud scudding across the
room; still he seemed to have the boy
form. Reports from some Of the Boston
papers say l tainted; such IS not the case.
l knew where l was and what l was
about Just as well as I know am writing,
- Ono day l sent boy out
to hang up the brushes. etc. He was out
about i've minutes. Alter he had taken
his seat, three raps came on the door Of
the room where the brushes were hung.
He said, Miss Perkins, can go out and
sec who's thereY ! told him Yes, and
leave the school.room door open. He did
so, and when he opened the bTush.room
door Il sat where / could see all this)
every one Of the brushes, both long and
shOrt.handled, came falling of the nails
where they were hung; some struck him
in the face, some on the shoulders, and tho
broom directly on the top Of his head. The
dust.pan, hanging on nail at some dis
lance above the brushes came tumbling
down to the floor with a vengeance. II
then stood on It's handle, then on the bot
tom edge, and continued on so till Il en-
tered the school room, and then 1t was
placed as nicely against the partition as
i'll had done It myself. Just as soon rs
I'd raise the ventilator, q black ball, like
a cannon ball, would begin to roll around
the attic, and make such noise would
be obliged to lower the ventllator. One
day,the room was as quiet as It couIdIpossi.
bly, be, and all at once some one ia the
attic called out, 'Dadie Pike! 'Dadie
thought spoke, and said 'WharmY l

Since the boy affair took place, the attic
has been fastened up. Locks and keys
are OF no use, however, for there Is as
much walking up stairs, shd sometimes
the hammering and mailing. Once in a
while sounds as Of some one walking will
come down the attic way, go across the
entry and open the outside door, and be
gone perhaps ten minutes, after it is quiet
again, the door will open, and he, she or

"a MIDNIGHT "Reminiscences
MEN LINING THEIR POcKETs'-S the
headline which the Ak7o" Beacon gives to
the proceedings in the House Of Repre-
septatiyes Monday night, when, the House
beIpp thin, an amendment to an appro-
pristion bill was adopted in that body in
cressing the Presidents salary to $4,000,
enlarging the salaries Of the Supreme
Court and Vice President, heads OF de-
partments, Speaker OF the House, mem.
bers OF tho Cabinet, and members oil
Congress, including that now in session.
The Beacon describes It correctly. 1t Is
a robbery and nothing else, 80 far as 1t
relates to an increase Of pay for the pres
eut Congress. Congress might without
any question except as to necessity or
policy increase the salaries Of the officials
named or OF future Congresses, but to vote
themselves an addition oil five or six
thousand dollars each to the pay for
which they were elected to serve, is
downright robbery. The whole scheme
is u gross piece OF plumber. There is
no good reason for increasing any Of the
salaries mentioned. II officials at Wash.
ington cannot live in grandeur on the
present pay, let them live in q style Of
simplicity. 1t will be all tho better for
the Government and the country. There
is constant pressure at Washington
from the army of dependents there, from
highest to lowest, to increase the cost and
magnifcence Of the Government, This
tendency is demoralizing and dangerous,
and 1t is the duty oil every man who has
the simple good Of the country at heart
to resist it by every means aud on all oO-
casions. The provision that the increase
Of pay should apply to the present Con-
gress was put in simply as n bride to car
ry this plundering measure through, The
House has taken the bride. Whether the
Senate will do likewise remains to be
seen; but the present composition OF that
body lcads us to fear the worst. Infamous
US the Credit MOJiiier corruption is, 1t is
not so barelaced as this.

merchants. 1t Is probable our steamboat
proprietors have never before had such a
long series Of profitable running in one
season; in fact the continued high waters,
the immense quantity Of freight daily ar
irving, and the numerous travellers that
arc passing and repasging, seems to have
given a new and astonishing impulse TO
our navigation. From three 10 eight
steamboats, have been constantly in port,
Notwithstanding the head Of navigation is
ninety miles below US, as our Wheeling
friends would have 1t.
There arrived at the port Of Pittsburgh,
during the past year, seventy steamboats,,
and the number Of departures were sew
enty.eight. The number Of keel boats
that have arrived and departed in the
same period amounts TO four hundred and
seventy, and the flats TO one hundred and
lorty.fye.
The whole amount Of tonnage employ
ed in our navigation Tor the last year was
II, 525 tons. The arrivals Of tons Of actual
freight, consisting Of products Of the West
and South-coLton, tobacco, sugar, molas-
ses, hemp, &c.,-was 1880. The depart
ure Of tons OF actual freight, such as mer-
chandise and Pittsburgh manufactures
was 1880.
Taking the distance from the head oil
the Ohio to the highest navigable point o!

to the same points on the various streams
that empty into these two rivers, together
with the distance from the mouth OF the

sented an uninterrupted line ofnavigation
Of upwards Of 1900 miles. Upon this

THE last report OF the Directors of the
Hospital for the Insane shows that the
appropriations for the construction oil
that building amounted at the date of the
report to $541 1902 "a; and the number Of
patients accommodated was 2SG. By a

it has cost the State just $1,sO2,0s to
provide Hospital room for each patient.
For this money each patient might have
