R4y~ Hon. Henry Rawle, Of Erie, tn,

Ray@ Hon. Henry Rawle, Of Erie, the
newly elected State Treasurer, has written
a letter in which he gives his views Oh
Treasury management. He says:
II propose to perform the duties of the
Office III accordance with all the laws of the
State, particularly set forth in the act OF
Assembly approved the 9Th of May, A D.
1874, section eight Of said act requiring a
monthly statement Of all transactions of the
department, receipts, deposits and interest
to be fled with the Auditor General. The
funds of the State shall be guarded by me
with fidelity, and the interest on treasury
balances shall be accounted for as the pro
perty Of the people. l am of the opinion
that the establishment of system similar
to that Of the United States Government
would remove many complications of the
present law"
Mr. Rawle's programme is that of q
thoroughly honorable and honest man, and
1t will no doubt be strictly carried out. The
interst on treasury balances belongs, net tc
the Treasurer, but to the people Of the
State.

THERE is slight 'onpleasantness" in
Pike county, between the taxpayers of one
end Of that circuit and the County Commits
sioner. 1t is all about an old bridge across
the LackawaXen. On Saturday. 9th inst.
Mr. 5. ". Drake, County Commissioner OF
Pike county, Pa, was burned in efigy on The
public square in Milford, by some of the peo-
pie of that place, It was in consequence OF
the trouble about that old bridge across the
Lackawaxeu stream at Rowlands. 1t seems
that the company owning this bridge have
endeavored to dispose of the structure to the
county, but that the majority Of the tax
payers living in the lower end of the county
were bitterly opposed to the measure.
Prior to election Commissioner Drake,
who was a candidate for reelection, stated,
it is asserted, that he was opposed to the
proposition to have the county buy the bridge
A number of men were working for him on
election day to secure his election on the
strength of his supposed fealty to the desires
of the people who were averse to the plan of
buying the structure Nevertheless he was
defeated by four votes.
immediately after election he with some
other officials, bought the old bridge for
So 100, issuing bonds against the county for
the payment oft the same. Much Indignation
was felt in the community when the report
came out that this transaction bad taken
place, and on Saturday evening the anger of
certain parties found vent in burning the
Commissioner in elligy.

Sudden Illness of the Vice Prersident.

Vice President Wilson visited Washing
ton last Tuesday to remain a week Or so on
business connected with the Departments
On Wednesday morning, while at his rooms
in the Capitol building, he was seized with
sudden illness, something of the nature of
an appopletic attack. The Vice President
has had several attacks of this kind, which
incapacitated him from the active duties of
his high station heretofore, and it is feared
that this new attack will prove serious At
the last accounts he was doing well and out
Of immediate danger.
