STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS EsrATE.-'rhc
great suit long pending between the
heirs of Stephen A, Douglas and the
executor of his estate was decided on
Tuesday afternoon a week, in Chicago,
by Judge Williams in favor of the
heirs. This decision gives the heirs,
Robert and Stephen A., about n quar-
ter of million dollars. II was made
under the following circumstances
When Mr.. Douglas died he left DR.. p.
Rhodes, of Cleveland, as his executor.
His property, mostly real estate in
South Chicago being offered for sale,
Rhodes agreed with one Dobbins that
if the latter bought in all the property
he would take one-third off his hands.
This was done, and the spectators
made an immense sum from their in
vestment. The suit was brought TO
recover on the ground that an cxecu-
tor cannot be interested directly or in
directly in the purchase of property at
bis own sale, and the judge 70 decided
But onc-half Of the value of the prop
erty was dccrecd to the children. The
other part would have gone to the wi
dow, but she was barred having al
lowed too long time to clapsc before
ascertaining her rights.

TILE .SENA TORSHLP

The Centre Hall Reporter of last
week, in alluding to the Senator ques-
ton, remarked:
''Tho Democracy Of the entire State
are calling upon our district TO elect
Mr. Wallace TO the Senate, where he
has been the able Democratic leader
for number of years. His presence
there at this time is all the moro i'm
portant, in view of the legislation
needed TO conformity with the new
Constitution, No man in the State is
so well-ftted for the place as Mr..
Wallace, his experience, ripe States
manship, known integrity, and disgust
for rings, have centred upon him the
eyes of every honest Democrat and
Republican in Pennsylvania and hence
they hope for his return to the Senate
by the honest and upright voters of the
district composed of the counties of
Centre, Clearfeld and Clinton. Mr..
Wallace, in his entire career as Sen
ator, has devoted all his talents and
energies to the enactment of wholesome
laws, and for the good of the people.
He never cast vote or supported
measure that had about il the odor of
corruption. He always bnttled and
defeated such schemes, thus taking the
same stand in favor of right in the
Senate as Mr.. Orvis did in the House.
For this the people of our State call
upon the district TO elect VIM. A. Wal
lace to the Senate.
"Clearfeld county will pronounce
for him at her delegate elections
"Clinton county will instruct her
delegates for Mr.. Wallace.
"Will Centre listen TO the demands
of the people and follow the good ex-
ample of the sister counties of the dis
trict?
Democrats of Centre can you do a
nobler act than cast your instructions
for Mr. Wallace2 If you vote for in.
structions for Senator, on the day of
the delegates election, will you rcmem-
ber that duty to your party, and to
the State, demands that you vote to
instruct for VIM. A. Wallace for SEN
ator 2"

THE LIEUT. GoVERNoRsH1p.

This office, created by the new Con
stitution has heretofore been unknown
to the politics of our State, although in
existence in many Of the other com
monwealths and found to work we'll
We notice that number of news
paper editors, in both parties are Ia
boring diligently to nominate their re-
spective candidates, and act as though
neither party were going TO hold o
State convention. We admire their
enterprise, but it might prove offensive
to the members Of the respective con
ventions, besides, these bodies might
nominate somebody else, and thereby
create some hard feelings. Now, If
the editors in question will only attend
to their own legitimate business and
allow the members of the convention
to do the same thing, no harm can be-
fal the State, nor need the former over
work their brains in this new enter
prise in which they seem to be so zeal
ously engaged.
The number of engaged aspirants in
both parties are "too numerous to men
ton" rs vendnc notices would have IL,
while very few are fit for the position.
The duties of presiding officer in a de-
Lucrative body are peculiar, and only
one man in thousandpossesses the re
quisite qualifications to discharge them.
To elect a man Lieut.. Governor who
is unacquainted with parliamentary
rules, would be bnlesque upon the
State, if not upon the individual. In
our judgment "Uncle Jake Ziegler," on
our side, is the only man named who
is qualified by experience, and if nomi-
mated will adorn the position.
The Cambria Freeman, in discussing
this question, very properly says;
"Tho Lieutenant Governor will not possess any
executive or administrative power, but will sim
ply act as President Of the Senate and preside
over Its deliberations lie cannot vote on any
question except whore the members are equally
divided. lie is to be elected for four years and
to receive salary Of three thousand dollars per

he must be familiar with the rules which govern
legislative bodies. The latter requisite cannot be
dispensed with. II is as absolutely necessary as
that a mechanic should skillfully know how to
use the tools Of bis trade. This knowledge does
not come by intuition, but is the result Of pract-
cal experience"

CoNsIsTENcY-AoAIs--The Bellefonte
Republican last week pitched into Mes
srs. Mackcy and Wallace, and asks
the people to defeat them if nominated
by the Democrats this fall, because
the one is Vice President of railroad
and the other President of a National
Bank, and therefore necessarily linked
in with corporations. And then in the
same article it advocates the nomina.
tion of Gen. John Patton for Senator,
by saying:
"IIo 10 we'll known all over the State and to al
most every individual In the district. General
Patton Is not politician, ho 10 n farmer, a lum.
herman, a private citizen and one Of the best
men in the State. We challenge any man 10 say
aught against him. lie Is an able, liberal, chris
tian gentleman and On honest man"
"A farmer" is good for Granger food,
but will be news in this county. We
suppose we will hear something about
the General being President of a Ma
tional Bank next week.

MONEY.

II appears TO be evident to thinking
men that the financial question is TO be
prominent issue in the coming Con-
gressional canvass in all parts Of the
country.
This subject interests everybody.
The capitalists, the borrower, the lend
cr, the laborer, the mechanic, the bust.
moss men, the industries are all deeply
affected by proper settlement of the
great intprests involved
Almost every educated, thinking
man of business has his peculiar mode
of bringing order out of the chaos of
our finances. Bankers view the ques-
tion from one stand point, capitalists
from another, and so each branch of
trade has its peculiar relation to money,
and II plan for the eflectual adjustment
of the question.
Parties, however, must stand on the
great principles of sonnd political econ
omy. There is no new doctrine on
this subject. What is true Of any
given state of things, founded on the
debtor and creditor relation, with. all
the conditions Of production and ex-
change, is true ofany like complication,

In JEopARDY.-What in the world
will become of those two celebrated
"grand moral idea organs, the Chris
fian Union, and the Golden Age, (nice
names), should Beecher and Tilton lose
their reputation as moral teachers
through the affair now disturbing the
Plymouth congregation and the out
side world, too Why, the moral and
loyal portion of this continent will be
left to grope their way in darkness
Think of i'll The morning and evening
stars in the moral armament likely TO
become eclipscd forever. No wonder
that Wilkinson was alarmed at the
fate of the "Life of Christ, " fearing that

cause of the revelations now being

sCOMPULSORY UONESTy,r

This ia tho term the Philadelphia
fress usce when alluding to recent signs
Of contrition manifested by the Radical
cohorts in South Carolina. The editor
in question remarks; "thc curse Of
South Carolina is the ignorance of her
electors" We'll, were you not aware
of that before you made them such ?
Who is the most to blame for the crimes
committed in that Stato---tho ignorant
negroes or those who manufactured
them into voters2 1t is indeed very
shabby trick for the Radical State
Committee at this day to use language
like this. rrf efir''i
"lt would be criminal longer to withhold the
facts that the present condition Of affairs ia our
State Is made chargeable to the colored race. who
represent not only the great bulk of Republicans
here' but who constitute the majority of its cltl-
iens. Tho duty aud responsibility Of rodoeming
tue state from obloquy and disgrace. Of restoring
the public confidence, Of building up her credit
and Of saving her from utter and complete ami
hiiation, rests peculiarly upon the shoulders Of
that race. This duty they cannot evado---this
responsibility they cannot escape"
Well, if "our colored brethren over
there can stand that, we hope they will
say no more about "tasL masters in
the future. The editor of the Press
continues.
"Tho Republicans Of South Carolina seem re-
solved to rid themselves Of the reproach east upon
them by the corruptions Of the Legislature and
the shameful character Of their State adminittra.
tion generally. They have begun their reforma.
ton at late day, but their new born zeal CON.
pensates In measure for their tardiness Their
honesty, too, 10 somewhat compulsory public
opinion Of the North and the expressed threats Of
the party and the President TO refuse TO recognize
them longer being powerful motives In influencing
their action. But they propose to make Il thor
ough. Moses and his supporters have been disa
vowedi Ex-Governor Scott and the more respecta-
BILE Republican leaders have taken the field against
them, and the Republican Committee Of the State
Is out In IN Official address demanding q change,
and denouncing the prevalent corruption in pub
lie affairs"
The honesty of these South Carroll
ma scalliwags is little like that of the
fellow Leslie, who broke into Mr.. Wat
sons tobacco store in this place on last
Friday night, and stole therehom ci-
gars, tobacco, pipes, etc. When ar.
rested at Pcnfeld station by Constable
Mcclellan, with bags of the stolen ar
ticles in his possession, he was willing,
if let alone, to give them up peaceably
and behave himself in the future, But
justice and society demanded that he
be punished Hence he is in prison,
and at September court we have no
doubt he will be sent to the penitcn-
tiaiy, just where his South Carolina
confederates should be consigned for
their crimes against the State, instead
of being condoned.

his congregation in the capacity Of

looks a little that way now, unless the
membership of Plymouth Church en-
done Mr., Beecher's way of enforcing
his creed.
