Murder in Carbon COunty.

A horrible murder was committed at
Summit Hill on Wednesday. Kate Lein-
bach, a young and beautiful girl of 20,
was entioed from her home and killed in
some low brush just outside Of town. The
body was not discovered until next morning
when laborer stumbled over it as he went
to his work. The only wounds were on
the head, and they were evidently made
with stone- The coroner is holding an
inquest, but no evidence of importance has
been elected. 1t is believed that the MUIR
der was committed by a man who had de-
ceixed the girl to hide his guilt. The
people are greatly excited, and threats of
lynOhing the murderer il he is caught are
openly made.

Sumner and wilmot,

Sumner was man of conscience. Gui-
ded himself by that monitor, he had always
the greatest respect for the conscientious
convictions of others. David Wilmot, the
author of the 'Wilmot Proviso, and one
of the ablest speakers in the country, while
a member of the U. S. Senate, set next TO
Sumner, on his left. Wilmot, years before,
while young man, represented the strong
est Democratic district in Pennsylvania in
the Lower House Of Congress. Upon con-
Guiding his maiden speech, John Quincy
Adams, ex-President of the United States,
walked over to Wilmot's side of the house,
patted him on the shoulder, and said I:
{" that is the best speech have ever heard
in this house !" Could compliment come
from higher source. When Wilmot be-
came United States Senator, his old dis
trict had become the strongest Republican
district in the State, and he one of the fore
most of that party. While Sumner and
Wilmot were members of the Senate, a
resolution was offered, l think by Sumner,
exempting from military duty persons hav-
ing conscientious scruples against bearing
arms. Sumner voted for it, and Wilmot
gave decided nay. Sumner turned and
asked Wilmot if he couldn't vote for the
resolution. "Let no man be too con-
scientious to fight for his country" was
Wilmot's reply.

IMPORTANT TO School pirsctcra.

1t is perhaps not generally known that
the annual publication Of a statement of the
financial proceedings and condition of
each school board in this State is required
by the school law, and that it is the
imperative duty of each board to comply
with this provision. This published state
ment should be made by the old boards
The department will withhold the State
appropriation from all districts that fail to
make the annual public statement. In
order TO receive the amount appropriated
by the state to each school district, the
president of the respective boards must
appear before justice Of the peace and
swear or affirm to the following: That the
schools have been open and in operation
according to the requirements of the school
law, for the term Of not less than five
months during the school year; that no
teacher has been employed for or had
charge Of any of the schools of the district
during the year specified, who had not al
the time valid certificate from the cognty
superintendent that the accounts of the
district treasurer and tax collector for thC
year specified have been settled, and state
ments in full of the financial operations @
the district published according to law
The affidavit made by the president mus
be countersigned by the secretary, botl
officers of the old board and together wit

THE house has adopted an amendment
Ito the post Office appropriation bill allow
I ing the Agricultural Report to be sent out
free of postage. Two or three hundred
thousand volumes of this interesting work
are already published, and are waiting dis
tribution. This branch of Congress seems
disposed to be liberal, but the Senate does
not appear to be so literally inclined. 1t
is some time since the House passed the
bill making free the distr ibution of county
papers, but as yet the bill "hangs fire. in

A Delicate Question.

1t seems to be assured that Representa-
tive Mellish has become insane. Tho
sympathies of the public will attend him as
well as his friends in this appalling misfor-
tune. But delicate question arises, af-
fecting the personal liberty of represent
ative of congress. How does the house
know that Mr.. Mellish is insaneP Should
it be possible for the friends of any repre-
sentative to be able to put him in duress
without the house satisfying itself that
there is real ground for the detentionP A
time may come, as in the contest for the
speakership before the war, when the
absence of member for one day might
change the political situation. How easy
to secure such an absence if members can
be taken to an insane asylum without in
qiury on the part Of the house The point
is certainly worthy Of attention.-Ns'o YoTA

TIE GAME OF THE RETURNING BOARD EXPOSED
MOST OF THE CONSERVATIVE PARISHES LAID
OVER UNDER PROTEST, AND THE REPUBLICAN,
PARISHES CoUNrED-KELLOGG BENT on PRE-
CIpITATING TROUBLE.
NEw-ORLEANs, Dec. 8.-The game of the
Returning Board Is pretty we'll understood. More
than thirty days have elapsed since the election
and yet only six seven parishes have been
officially returned ana promulgated. or the
rest, nearly all the Conservative parishes arc
protested and still uncounted. They to be kept till
the last final decision. The object of this accumula-
ton OF conservative parishes has been very clearly
set forth In The Iicayne The Conservative Committee
has dealt squarey, making protests only where actual
fraud involved and could be demonstrated, while
tho Radicals have made formal protests In many instances
visible except that the result was unfayor
able their The consequence Is that, whereas
only four five Republican parishes ara laid aside fer
future action moro than half the Conservative parishes
the Slate have been protested and are az this moment
held In reserve Assuming that the count continues
IL has been going thus far, and that the same
proportions arc preserved, it will be perfectly
practicable for the Board, within a week ten days 20
promulga:e the uncontested parishes, thus giving a
quorum for tho Legislature with a Republican
majority, while tho contested parishes, nearly all
Conservative, could be kept under discussion
indefinitely handed over for decision
to radical partisan Legislature. This is evidently the
game OF the turning Board as the events OF the past
few days have amply demonstrated, and when 1t has
developed little more 1t vii! inevitably cause trouble.
Kellogg is evidently bent precipitating this trouble
as his action in the Carroll Parish shows. Carroll
is one of the few Republican parishes under protest
Tho Conservatives had local ticket there, as the
Republicans overwhelmingly in the majority; but
there were two Radical tickets the Kellogg Packard
ticket, and tie other the coored, On the Kellogg
ticket, man named Hicks was candidate
for sheriff and the other colored man

lands heretofore withheld from the road under the
decision of former Secretary. The directors hold
that the time has arrived when the local IN
terest of the Territories through which the road
runs demanded that all questions in regard to titles
to these lands should be quoted, and the effect Oh
the order has been most beneficial. Great stress Is
laid upon the importance of localized management
of the road the directors holding that all Officers
having in charge the various branches OF business
pertaining TO the operations of the road should re-
side upon the line where they can become entirely
familiar with the numerous local interests which go
to produce business for the road. The directors ex
press the opinion that yet the country has never
passed just judgment upon the Pacific Road
When its construction began the compile
ton of the road the great object in view
and the means used were not very carefully
criticised. At that stage of the enterprise the coun-
try was entirely lenient in its Judgment as to the
methods used to accomplish the work. VI late It's
Judgment has been formed upon the disclosures OF
the Credit Mobiier investigation, and this like the
first, was exaggerated and unjust The directors
then Rproceed to discuss the question of the Gov
ernmcnt finally becoming fully reimbursed for all
moneys expended on account OF the road. Inc
directors believe that even without localized man
agement and in case matters proceed rs at present
and without any future increase of Government
transportation still the Government at the end OF
80 years will find itself fully reimbursed for all ex-
penditures incurred on account of the road by the
five per cent which it Will receive, together with
what is withheld under the existing laws and the
percentage saved on transportation This estimate
is based upon the report furnished to the directors
from the War and Post-Office Departments giving
the amount of business which these two Depart
ments have had over the line of the road, and the
estimate made does not take into consideration
any increase in the annual amount of Government
transportation or any saving in the management OF
Indian affairs.
