GOVERNOR HENDRICKS is now in Wash
ington in consultation with the leading De-
mocrats and Liberal Republicans. 1t is
said he is working for the organization of Il
new party. lie proposes to abandon the
old Demoncratic organization entirely !;
also to abandon its name, and to organize
a new party, which shall have for its plat
form such conservative and compromising
declaration of principles as will attract to
its support all classes who are opposed to
the dominant party.
Advlces from Arizona state that a COM
pany of The Second infantry. under COM
mand of Lieut.. Rice. had fight with the
Apaches, killed Six and captured four
squaws.

gard to license or no license, the majority

cense Berks 5000 for license Bucks, 250O

STATE ETREAsURER.--G Harry White
introduced IL bill in the Senate, on Friday,
fixing the time for the election of State
Treasurer on the second Tuesday of Octo-
Der. 1873, and every two years thereafter,
retaining the present incumbent in office
until mis- successor assume the Office on the
first Monday of March, 1874; fixing the

to ill any vacancy until the first of March
succeeding any generally election, new
treasurer To be elea.ed on said election day,

TIE RIGHT WAY.-The beginning OF
last week, two young roughs in New York
assailed and robbed man in n street car.
They were arrested, tried, convicted and
sentenced to fifteen years in the peniten-
tiary before the week was out. If crime
was generally dealt with in that way in
New \ ork, there would soon be lets of it.
New York has its trouble with Tweed
the effort TO bring him TO punishment goes
on, but the old fox is too shrewd and has
too much money to be caught by them.
The State Seuate is now after him, but
does not know how to reach him. He was
elected member of the Senate, but never
TODD his seat. Money is generally, as IN
this case, an over-mateh for Justice.
Detectives at Washington, on Sunday
arrested Mrs. Fanny Hyde, who killed
Watson, in Brooklyn, in January, 1872,
aud who has been absent from Brooklyn
since determination of her trial, in which
ihc jury failed to agree.

"A MYSTERIOUS DEATH Charles Good
rich, a wealthy bachelor of Brooklyn, was
found dead in his house, last week. where
he was living alone. Three pistol wounds
were in his head. The blood had been
carefully washed from his face after his
death. Who did it. or what was the mo-
tive, is not explained.
MINNBQUA COUNTY went through the
House on Tuesday morning at 2.2O, by
a vote of 48 to A.
The Secretary Of the Treasury has au-
thorized the Assistant Treasurer at New
York, to purchase S1,000,000 of bonds for
each Wednesday, und to sell 81 100000 of
gold on each Thursday during the present
month.
The jury in the case of Thomas L. An
derson, the bank officer Of Franklin, Pa,
who shot himself dead on the 14th of
March, have +, turned a verdict ofinsanity.
The invcrtigation was thorough and ex-
haustive. The bank accounts are strictly
accurate, and no possible motive for the act
existed.

a FlEND's LIFE ENDED-THE LAW
AND SOCIETY N1NDICATND,- 1t is well
that there are men aud wornen in the world
who are disposed to temper justice with
mercy, and it is well also that there are
judges. iurics and governors who are in
Glued to temper mercy with justice. Both
these influences have been brought into full
operation in the Foster case'' in New
York. But Governor Dix in this instance
deemed it to be the wisest to temper justice
to the prisoner with mercy TO society. and
the wretched man on Friday eXpiated his
crime on the gallOws. There have been
but few murders more wanton and aggra-
waited than the killing Of Avery ID. Putnam
by Foster. NJ. Putnam, in April, 1871,
was escorting two ladies to church in the
evening. They were all in street-car.
and on the front platform of the car was
Foster, with enough liquor" in him to
make him ''devilsh.n He repeatedly in
suited the ladies in Mr.. Putnam's care, 60
ing out of his way to do it in the most Of
fensvc manner and the sole offence of
the latter was TO try, in II peaceabe man
ner, to protect the ladies from Fosters
insulting conduct. For this Foster threa-
tened to ride on the car until Putnam got
out. and then settle him. lie carried out
his threat, and when Mr.. Putnam did get
out. with the two ladies, Foster seized n
"car hook''--a murderous weapon-struck
Putnam murdcrous blow with it, crush
ing his skull, and then ran away, leaving
his victim PROSTATE in death, and the two
ladies appalled, by the terrible tragedy.
This is the whole story. 1t Mortified even
New York for Il few days. Then there
came about the usual trick of the law in
. Il. 4. AL
Foster became confident of escape and al
most defiant. Then misplaced sentimen-
tality began its work. Never, for the best
man falsely accused, were there more
strenuous efforts made for pardon or COM
mutation but, after considering them all,
the final reply of Governor Dix was this ::
ain the present defiant reign of crime, such
a precedent would Dc frausht with infinite
danger to the public Ordern

CONVENTION OF NEWSPAPER PUB
LIsHERs.--W notice that the advertising
agents have called convention TO organ
ize for their mutual interests. 1t is time
that editors Of newspapers outside of the
cities call Convention to organize for their
projection, and appoint delegates to meet
those Of other States for the further ad-
vancement of the publishing business.
Congress, through dictation of the city
press, has struck heavy blow at the coun-
try press by the adjustment of the free cir
culation of newspapers in the county in
which they are printed, and it is high time
thai editors meet and remedy some of the
evils they are subjected to. We hope the
country press will at once move in the
matter and call a convention at an early
day.

A LITTLE BUsIENESs.- Tile only unpaid
advantage that has ever been granted to
the people in the way of postal facilities
was that of receiving the county papers
free of postage. The late high-toned Con-
gress repealed this privilege, and compels
the people to pay Jire cents a quarter, after
the first of July and aproprates the mo-
ney thus collected to increasing the pay of
oflicc-holders about Washington, and CIV
to the Members of Congress themselves a
million or so n year ertrd pay!
