COMPARATIVELY few persons have an
idea OF the extent of the silk manufacturing
business of the United States. From
mere experiment, ten years since, 1t has
suddenly assumed really vast proportions
and promises TO become one of the leading
pursuits of the country. According to the
lately issued report of the silk Aianufac-
turers' Association OF America it appears
that $50, 600, coo is the amount of capital
invested. Sixteen thousand operatives are
employed, whOearn about SS, O00, 0C0wages,
and the products Of whose labor amount
to between $50, 900, 600 and$ 40, 600, 600.

IHE GREAT CENTENNIAL GEETING.-
The Centennial meeting on Saturday even
ing, Feb. 22d, was what may emphatically
be termed signal success. 1t was sue
cess in point of attendance and enthusiasm
and certainly a success in regard to more
substantial results. The Academy was
crowded from pit to dome the speeches
were able, eloquent, and inspiring, and the
spirit infused by the meeting such as was
well calculated to give an impetus to the
rliovOnaont that must carry it forward TO
complete triumph.
Reports from the different committees
were made, showing an aggregate of sub
scriptions of SI37, 900 for the city alone
To this are to be added the $500, 600 appro-
priated by Councils, and 5000, 900 from the
leading railroad companies, making an ag-
gregate Of 81, 137, 900. If to this be added
the expected appropriation of 81. 900. 600 by
the Legislature, we have a grand total Of
two and three-quarter millions from Penn
sylvana to start with, and this without the
subscriptions that will undoubtedlybe made
IN the state outside of the city limits, VIII jth
ought to make the sum total three millions
n least, or more than three times as much
as Pennsylvania quota.
But we cannot stop here. There are
other subscriptions, and large ones, that viii
be made in Philadelphia. In fact, there
would be little difficulty in doubling tho
amount already subscribed should it be
deemed necessary to the successful prosecu-
tion of the enterprise. As a whole, the
prospect could not be desired to be more
favorable at present. Enough is now
known to give the positive assurance that
all doubts as to a triumphant result have
been removed.-PhiSa. Eceafng Herald.

THE CASE OF VICE-PREsIDENT COLFAX.
The Credit Mobilier infamy presents no
more degrading chapter that which re-
cords the fall Of President Colfax.-
The story of this unfortunate man presents
not a single point that can excite popular
sympathy a low-priced corruptionist, he
has added falsehood to his other offences,
and every step he has taken has plunged
him deeper into the mire He has been
bought at cheap rate, and has sought to
escape detection by falsehocds meaner than
his former prostitution. The House of
Representatives cannot and dave not screen
kim. The resolution for his impeachment
proposed yesterday by Fernando Wood
should have been passed without dissent
inc voice, for those members who are his
partners in crime should III deceDcy have
refrained from voting on the question one
way or the other. 1t was rejected, but by
vote significantly close, and resolution
was adopted directing the Judiciary Com
mittee to report whether there is sufficient
in the evidence taken before the Investi-
eating Committee to warrant the impeach-
ment of the Nice-President. To be sure,
Bingham. with his twenty Credit Nobilier
shares and his ten thousand dollars in divi-
dendS is chairman of that committee, but
General Butler is its senior member after
the chairman, and we hook to him for
proper report on the resolution.
CCIaX must NC liillietClitu. ne cOun-
try demands it. No false pretence that
his term is about TO expire and that the res
olution of impeachment viii be imperative
must be allowed to screen him from the
disgrace and punishment he merits. The
penalty of iucapacity as well rs Of removal
attaches to his crime, and hence it is be-
lieved by many that if the articles of i'm
peach,nent should be found during his
terra of Office the case could be tried after
the expiration of the term for the enforce
ment of this penalty. But If Colfax were
to retire ilaf an hour afterwards the reso-
lutiOns of impeachment should be adopted
by the House as a mark of their cOndern-
nation OF his action. The republican mem
bers with the exception OF General Butler
and five others, at present rest under the
stigma of shielding this unfailhful and de-
graded man, vino has brought disgrace
upon the second Office in the United States.
Let us see whether they will dare to suffer
their records to remain as yesterdays vote
has left them.-N. \. Herald.

THE little State of Florida affords fine
sample Of the results of negro and carpet
J Ig rule. There is not dollar in the
'.reasury, and the bonded and floating
debt, according to the report Of the Comp
/ .oller, is So, ,844, 42l. As there are less
tnan 36, 600 voters, white and black, in the
state taking the last Presidential election
as test, it follows that each voters pro
portion of the debt is over $3.50. Add to
This the county and municipal debts, and
the general average viii doubtless run up
10 $500 for each voter. How the State
funds have been squandered was shown,

lished the other day Of the bond transac-
tons of h S. Littleticld, shining light Of

guished himself by his financial achieve
lnents in North Carolina under the corr nupt

THERE is something truly wonderful in
the recuperative power of France. The
Prussians charged across her fair territory,
her vintages were trampled, and many of
her cities fell prey to the flames and
such anarchy and ruin fell upon her that,
in the charge at Balaklaya, ''all the
world wondered" France is ruined, said
the political economists F.; it viii take her
half a century to recover. As to the war
indemnity, it is cruel exaction of that re-
lentless, iron-hearted, and iron-handed
Bismarck. France can never pay it with
out being crushed to the very earth. And
now, what are the facts? France, to all
outward seeming, is little less prosperous
than before. The indemnity was to have
been paid by installments reaching over
years. Before the present year is ont,
however, the whole amount viii probably
be paid, or at the worst, the last payment
guaranteed according to the treaty, and
France will be free of Prussian Interference
or dictation.

TIE TEMPERANCE men in some of the
Western States have fairly outstripped the
authors of the Maine law in the stringency
of their provisions in regard to the sale Of
Intoxicating drinks, and while granting Ii
censes under certain conditions SO hedge
them around with restrictions that a dealer
selling under license runs greater risk
than dealers selling without licenses in
most OF the States where the sale of LIQUOR
is entirely prohibited. i bill has passed
the Lower House of the Indiana Legisla-
ture. and is likely to become q law, which
affords = fair example OF the extreme mea-
sures resortcd to III some Of these States for
checking the spread Of intemperance. This
bill provides that the sale or giving away of
liquors to be drank on the premises with
out : license shall be considered illegal.
and that no person shall obtain license
until ie has filed a petition signed by q
majOriiy Of the voters in the petitioners
ward, town, or township. 1t declares that
a., person who shall by selling or giving
aw.r liquor cause in the whole or in part
the il =, Ncation Of any other person, shall
be liab-e for and compelled to pay = rea-
sonable c0-Hpensation to any person who
may take ccarge of and care for such
drunken pers III. 1t provides that any bus
band, wife, child, parent guardian, en-
plOyer, or other L3fson who shall be injured
in person, or proper y, or means of support
by any intoxicated person, or in conse-
quence Of the iut0XiCa i"1 Of any person,
shall have 4 right Of sctl III in his OF her
own name, seyerally on jointly, against the
person or persons who have bNen instVu-
mental in causing such iutOxica.iap by Civ
ing or selling liquors; and holds The own
er Of the building in which the liquCr was
sold equally liable with the vender for any
damages, provided that execution shall
first be levied on the property of the ven
der. 4 person who supplies liquor to an
other who is drunk, or in the habit of be-
coming drunk, is made liable to fine and
Imprisonment, and otherprovisions of equal
stringency are included in the bill. Under
such a law strictly enforced, man of pru-
dence would be apt to hesitate about en-
gaging in the retail liquor trade, even if
urged thereto by a petition signed by "a
majority Of voters in his ward, town, OF
township. ~ Y. Sun.

Among the additional '.yindications''
Of Colfax is one from Mrs. Richardson.
formerly Mcfarland, a lady under some
obligations to Colfax in the matter of her
Indiana divorce. She relates that Colfax
was a regular stipendiary of Nesbitt, who
sent him q quarterly allowance. Certain
ly ColGaX forgot to mention this on the
witness stand and we 90 not see that
Ms. Richardson's recollection Of it helps
his case. The remittance of several drafts
from NeSbitt is now known, but this in

a draft, which was lhc allegation of Colfax.

HORRIBLE OCCURRENCE.-4N Nan Drdton
Feet Foremost BstCs6n I'0n R0Nsrs.-It is
scarcely ever within the province of news
paper to chronicle a more sickening acCi-
dent than that which occurred at NewDurg,
n. Y, on Tuesday of last week, to James
MilHgan, who was drawn feet foremost
through two massive iron rollers only three
and half inches apart and which are used
in tatteuing bars Of steel for the plates Of
saws. Mr.. Nllgan was employed as a
biacLsmiths helper in the steel rolling
mill Of Wheeler, Madden & Clemson. He
was climbing upon a board laid across rods
over the rollers, Ill order to place in posi-
tiOn a wrench which is used tOTegulate the
space through which the heated steel and
iron are passed, when the board suddenly
tipped causing HIM to faIL Ills feet struck
upon the side in front Of the rollers, which
were revolving at tbs rate of sixty times
minute, and were instantly caught between
them. The poor fellow had only time to
utter the single cry of ''oh - while his
body, feet foremost, was being drawn thro'
a space of only three and half inches
Hardly second had elapsed before the
body was Il shapeless mass of flesh, blood,
bones, and clothes, presenting, as it did,
the most horrible and sickening sight that
eyes could look upon. Itdropped from the
rollers alimp and quivering mass, and when
Strengthened out covered a space of ground
that two men would occupy.
Not whole or perfect bone remained in
his body, and many bones were protruding
through the flesh and clothing at different
places The head was fearful sight to
look upon. 1t had gone through the rollers
face upward, and it came out completely
hattened and partly turned.

FOOLED HIM.-In Pontiac. Mich.
Mr.. Leslie j. Arnold recently committed
suicide under somewhat singular circum-
stances. His parents were well-to-do peo-
pie, be was their only son, and naturally
a great favOrite with then. One dav he
said he wished to go to Detroit, and his
father gave him money for that purpose.
He went and returned again in a day or
two, bringing with him a large travelling
trunk, with which, as he Informed his
parents, lie intended to go about and see
the world. Thst evening he left the house,
and was never seen alive in it again except
by Nettie Hammond, who tells a singular
story of the affair. She says that after
leaving home Leslie came to her father S
house and invited her To commit suicide
with him. She agreed to do so, but only
III Leslie's chamber at his home Thither
they went, and Nettie says she took more
morphine than her lover did, but the doc
tors says she took none at ALL However
tlat may he, she is, according to her own
story, guilty Of murder. since it is GOOD
law that If persons agree to commit sui
eide together and one of them actually
oies, the survivor must be held guilty of

IN our l@cal department will be found
state ment Of the vote polled in this county,
ca Friday last, for and against the Local
option law. The returns are taken from
tle official papers in the Prothonotary's
o.uce, with the exception Of the borough of
Loretto, where the majority only is given,
the returns from that place not having yet
been received. 1t will be seen that the
Vote cast falls about tlro thousand short of
tue full vote Of the county, and when we
think of the furious snow storm that pre-
vailed during the entire dav. we are sur
lrised that the vote was as large as it is.
In the different boroughs the entire vote,
on nearly SO, was poiled, while i'll most Of
tne townships not more than one-half the
voters rlade an effort TO get to the election.
II would be idle to speculate as to what the
result would have been had the full vote of
the county been out. No man can predict
with amy approach to accuracy OF which
eide of the balance the scale would have
turned. We must regard tho result as the
expression Of the popular will Of the coun-
II. and the friends of the measure who re-
l..ained away from the polls have them
selves only to blame.
In reference to the vote cast in the two
wards Of Ebensburg and the adjoining
township of Cambria, we think compari-
fon with the balance of the county win
show that, i'll proportion to the vote polled,
tine expression against license i'll these three
districts WAS more manifest than i'll any
other portion Of the county. At haste it
seems so to us. We do not propose to dis
cuss the wisdom or proprety of the deciS-
ion arrived at by 4 majority Of the electors
y 40 voted on the question. II is enough
TO know that their verdict is final and CON
elusive under the provisions OF the law. for
the next three years, when the same qucs
tion can again bo referred to the voters of
the county and then a majority of them
can reverse or re-aifirm the verdict which
las just been pronounced.

TIE State tax on personal property by
the last Auditor Generals report yielded
over half million of dollars. This tax is
mainly produced by the assessment Of the
horses, mules and cattle OF the farmers and
workingmen of the State. Money ut in
tcrest produces but very small amount of
this tax, as it evades taxation by conve-
nient forgetfulness to return it. But the
poor mans cow cannot be hidden from the
assessor on his annual rounds. 4 bill to
l. peal the tax upon cattle, horses, and
mules was, on Monday last, IS we learnfrom
T. e Harrisburg Pat7iot, iEtrOducedinto the
Senate by the Hon. William 4. Wallace.
This is step for the relief Of that interest
" Inch should first be taken care of by the

this repeal will aid in reducing the reve-
ues of the commonwealth, it is for the in
tvlest Of tho whole people.
