IMPE4nHEn

Mr.. J. 5. Burdett, Treasurer of the
State, has been found guilty of the
articles of impeachment preferred
against him by the legislature, and
removed from Office. The verdict of
the court will be sustained by every
citizen of the State who has impair
TALLY read and digested the evidence
adduced on the trial. That Mr.. Bur
dett violated his official trust as an
officer sworn to look after and pro-
iect the interests of the State, there
can be no doubt, and his impeach-
ment and removal from Office will
have salutary effect in keeping of
ficials within the strict line of their
duties.

A party Of gentleman from Mary
land and Pennsylvania were engaged
seineing the Potomac river at Falling
Waters on Friday last. We believe
they met with poor success, as they
deserved to. If there is no law against
seineing in the Potomac, there ought
to be, and it's enforcement ought TO
enlist the active aid of all who are in
terested in seeing the efforts of the
general government to stock the ri-
yer with new and desirable fish prove
success. 1t is hardly worth while
for the government to expend time
and money in the work of stocking
the river with salmon, silver perch
and other species Of fish so long as
persons are permitted to drag seines
and build fish-baskets from its head
waters to it's terminus.

OUR NfIGHBORS.


Mr.. Patrick Stanton, an old citi-
zen Of Cumberland, while going to
his home on Friday night last, fell in
a deep ravine, on the outskirts of the
city, and died from his injuries.
We are pleased to learn, as we do.
from the Hagerstown Twice-a-aceek,
that the townsville Literary Socie-
Twill soon settle the much disputed
question as to the balance of praise
claimed between the adherents of
Washington and Columbus. We
have tackled that question many
times in our juvenile days, and will
be much more at ease in knowing
that the townsville Literary Society
has settled it.
The Cumberland Times says Rev.
Caesar Peters, one of the Oldest and
in many respects one of the most re-
markable colored men of the State,
died at his residence in Willaimsport,
Md, few days ago, aged about so
years. Caesar was born a slave, and
until his arrival at manhood was the
property of the Messrs. Van Lear,
maintaining always the respect and
good opinion of all who knew him.
At the death of the elder Van Lear,
between whom and Caesar there had
always been bond of strong affec-
ton, the novel spectacle of a slave
preaching the funeral sermon of his
late master in accordance with a re-
quest of the deceased, afforded a
neighborhood sensation that was
never forgotten. The sermon was
preached in the village church of the
white people, and has always been
spoken of as a very ereditable effort.
The Chambersburg Reposity says
that an ingenious plan ofrobbery was
concocted at Gettysburg, a short
time ago, but which failed. The at
tempt was made at the express office.
1t says "with the goods received
that evening, was large box care
fully marked.-A stranger, who had
arrived in town during the same
evening called shortly afterwards
and claimed the box, saying that he
would take it the next day. The
agent noticed something about this
box when he was closing up, which
seemed suspicious, and he concluded
to open it. With assistance, the lid
was removed disclosing to their view
a man, carefully packed inside
He was Immediately collared and
handed over to the officers of law,
who also visited the hotel and ar
rested the so-called owner. The de-
sign, whatever it may have been, was
thus happily frustrated"

Incorporated.

The Secretary Of State has issued
certificate of Incorporation to the
Berkeley Manufacturing Company
for the purpose of manufacturing and
selling all kinds Of material for the
construction of houses and buildings
for erecting, by contract, buildings

A Fox Hunt

Mr.. Eli Seibert accompanied Mr..
Jonathan Thatcher on fox hunt last
week. Mr.. Thatcher had shot fox
a few days before, and Mr.. Seibert
expressed desire to accompany him
on his next hunt and see how it was
done. They were not in the noun
tains long before the hounds had
struck trail, and the two huntsmen
took position near where they
thought "Reynard" would pass, their
guns in a position to fire at first sight
OF him. The fox came directly to-
wards them, and Mr.. Seibert who
was some few yards in advance, fired
first and missed. Thatcher, waited
until the fox had passed Mr.. Seibert
so as to put him (Mr. Seibert) out of
range, when he fired and killed the
animal. Immediately after the dis
charge of his gun, Mr.. Seibert called
out that he was shot, and Mr..
Thatcher, on coming up and finding
the blood trucking down his face
was, naturally, much alarmed, think
ing greater portion of the charge
from his gun had lodged in the body
OF his companion. On examination
it was found that single shot had
struck a rock, by which it was fiat
tened out as thin as a knife blade,
and glancing off had struck and
lodged Immediately under Mr.. Sci
bert's eye. Fortunately it did not
cut deep enough to injure the eye, land
both gentlemen were much relieved
and gratified on discovering that the
injury was quite slight. Mr.. Thatch-
er killed the fox, but Mr.. Seibert
failed to see it fall under the circum-
stances.

SING ULAR.

We are sorry to note that upon the
passage of the Centennial Bill by the
House of Representatives,, the entire
delegation from West Virginia voted
against it. We always presumed
that these gentlemen had the inter-
est of the country sufficiently at heart
to even overcome little squeamish-
ness as to constitutional construc-
ton. Mr.. Tucker may be very elo-
quent, good lawyer, and may make
a speciality of constitutional lore, but
he may as well learn now, and the
sooner the better, that the old, moul-
dy, Calhoun theories, are things of the
past, and progressive thinkers do not
longer follow in their wake
The Centennial Exhibition should
be in the nature of a national jubilee,
as grand and as perfect, as thought,
time, money, science and labor can
make it, and we think it singular
that our representatives should array
our State in opposition TO it, whilst
we believe a majority of their con-
stituents favor it.

CHIVALR ~.

"Though lawless, because illcgiti-
mately begotten, and constitutional
ly opposed to paying her just debts,
yet we find that graceless young chip
of ours, West Virginia, still boasts
the chiyalry and gentlemanly bear
ing of the old block'-and not man
could be found in all the Barbours-
vile mob to put rope around a wo-
mans neck. They should send to
Washington for a woman-hanger-or
perhaps to Harrisburg. "-Richmond
VA Wing.
This woman confessed that she
aided her paramount in the murder of
her husband, yet the fact that law
less mob spared her life is made the
where withall to furnish an example
of that lofty chivalry, and gentle
manly breeding, which some people
are foolish enough to believe has been
confined by the act of God to special
territory. Of the two, which was
the most guilty, and the more de-
serving of summary justice =? The
paramount or the wife ? If the mob
had proceeded impartially we doubt
not but even-handed justice would
have condemned her first. Even
this mob voted that she should
be put to death, and the fact that no
man could be found who would put
a rope around her neck, only serves
to show that the woman's appeal for
mercy had more effect than her par
amour's abject appeals. A crowd of
women would have hung her first
Upon a trial before jury, standing
an equal chance with the partner of
her lust and crime, she could not es-
cape the penalty of the law. Whilst
in cooler moments every good citi-
zen deplores lynch law, still, if it is
justifiable at all, we see no chivalry
in furnishing the lesser offender and
letting fiend who assists in the muir
der of her husband go free, because
she is woman.

Influx Of Funds

We understand that within the
past two weeks there has been loaned
cut Ii this county the sum of twen-
ty-fve thousand dollars at the rate
of six per cent. interest. Nineteen
thousand dollars of this amount was
placed by the sheriff, under the order

whole sum come from beyond the

In Bloom.

We learn from Mr.. Peter n. Hoff-
man, that plant which has been
left out in his yard all winter, is now
in bloom, having on the plant a full
blown, beautiful flower. This is GER
fainly remarkable. 1t is of very rare
occurrence in this latitude to see a
delicate flower in bloom in the open
air in the month of January. The
eldest inhabitant fails to remember
such an open and warm winter as the
present has thus far been.

A Shocking Outrage.

Wheeling has another case to be
added to the list of shocking outra-
ges which have lately occurred in our
State. Katie Winger a girl seven
teen years of age, was assailed and
outraged by gang Of ruffians in her
fathers yard.
She testified that on Saturday even
ing about eight O'Clock John Nor
ton met her at her fathers gate, on
MARKET street, above Tenth, and
madeimproper proposals to her, which
she rejected. She then started into
the house, being on her return from
the postoffice, and as she was about
to pass a shed On her way from the
gate to the house, he siezed and
Showed her into the shed where six
other young men were secreted. She
says that the six in the shed then
proceeded to take advantage of her.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The call for the Republican
State Convention in Ohio invites
all voters, without regard to past
party affiliations, who desire the
success of the principles of the
Republican organization, to Join
in the election of delegates.
Speaking of Governor Hayes, OF
Ohio, the Chicago Journal says
that, as a compromise candidate,
he ranks with Mr.. Wheeler, OF
New York, and legion of other
possibilities, but he can hardly
expect to be the first choice OF
amy delegation, except the one
from his own State.
1t is lamentable, but here is the
Cincinnati Enquirer proclaiming
that it does not want, and will not
have, harmony in the Democratic
party if harmony" means that
the bankers and the money-lend-
erS and bondholders are going to
plant the Democratic party on a
Republican platform.
A Washington correspondent OF
the New York Tribune says that a
new effort to secure the passage oil
a bill to refund the cotton tax will
undoubtedly be made this winter
and members of the Committee
on Ways and Means have already
been approached by persons wish
ing to secure their support for it.
This tax, which was collected be-
tween 1865 and 1868, it will be re-
membered, has been decided by
the Supreme Court of the United
States to have been unconstitu-
tional. A year ago a strong lob
by was organized for the purpose
of securing a refund OF this tax.
The certificates showing its pay
ment have been bought up in the
South at nominal rates, and were
said to have been held by few
spectators, and had they succeed
ed, parties interested would have
made clear profit Of from $780,
OOO, 900 to $50 600, 900. The amount
OF this tax collected was about
$50, 100000. The passage of q bill
to take this sum out of the Treas
ury in any form would more than
counterbalance the largest sum
which the House can hope to save
by the utmost economy in public
expenditures.

ROBERT TOOMBS.


Somebody ought to put a paddock
on the lips of Hon. Robert Toombs, of
Georgia. He is an able and venerable
gentleman, but he is something Of a
fossil he fails or refuses to recog-
nize the fact that he is living in a
new era he seeks to disregard the
fact that we have recently gone
through great civil war from which
we have emerged very much changed
from the olden time. Mr.. Toombs
is to the South what Wendell Philips
is to the North. Both are able men
yet both are impracticable and Bour-
bons of the worst stamp. Last Tues
day evening Mr.. Toombs made a
speech before the Democratic men,
bers of the Georgia Legislature in
favor of State Constitutional Con-
vention. He denounced the present
Constitution as made by ''poor ig-
norant savages, led by rogues," say
ing : Gin 1865, when, as u punish
ment for our sins, our great cause
fell, they came down upon us-you
saw the soldiers when they ran
us down-the Prussian, the Low
Dutch, the Irishman and worse than
all, the Yankee thief He contin-
ued as follows:
eve got a good many honest fell
lows into the first Legislature, but /
will tell you how we got them there.
will tell you the truth. The news
papers won't tell it to you. We got
them there by carrying the black
vote by intimidation and bribery and

THE WEIGHT Of AUTHORITY:
We rpcpuflv rafayrad m tho cinot,

THE WEIGHT Of a AUTHORITY:
We recently referred to the singu-
lar action of the three representa-
tiyes from West Virginia in voting
against the Centennial bill. We pre-
sumed then they based their action
upon fuckers constitutional lore,
for surely the fact that the Demo-
ocratic legislature of theiI own State,
representing almost directly the peo-
pie, desiring to properly celebrate the
nations jubilee, made very hand
some appropriation for that purpose,
and have been sustained in it by the
people and the press, should have had
some influence with these represen-
tatiyes in determining how to repre-
sent their constituents. 1t seems,
however, they voted to please them
selves. But Notwithstanding Mr..
Tucker and very few others, COW
cred with the musty mold Of the
past, overlooking with Calhounic
heresies and exploded vagaries, here
is another weight in the scale of right
and justice. Ripe in experience,
teeming with years, but unimpaired
in mental vigor, the old legal hero,
Mr.. Reverdy Johnson, has written
letter to Mr.. Randall, in which he
takes decided issue with Mr.. Tucker
as to the constitutionality of the
appropriation. We give the conclud-
ing portion of his letter as follows !:
"There are some I know,
though / suppose there are
now but few, who apply to the con-
stitution strictly literal construc-
ton. These deny that the United
States is a nation, and as it is GER
tain that the States are not a nation,
the consequence would be that peo-
pie of forty-three millions, and as
many more as may come into being
under the present constitution, are
living under government which has
no national character. 1t is true,
relative to all concerns with foreign
nations, the United States is invest
ed with ample powers. Congress can
alone regulate commerce with them,
and the President, with the advice
and consent of the Senate, can make
treaties with, and appoint represen-
tatives to, other countries. But, say
the strict constructionists, the con-
stitution nowhere declares that the
United States is nation, and no ira
plication is admissible to prove it to
be one. If such an Interpretation of
our organic law was to prevail, the
United States would be without pow
ers essential to it's prosperity, and he
reduced to the mere dimensions of a
petty municipality. 1t is not to be
supposed, therefore, that Congress,
in acting upon the matter of the GEN.
tennial, will be governed by so mar
row and ruinous a construction.

Musical SOiree.

"A pleasant and. appreciative COM
pany assembled at "Lonoak' on last
Friday evening in attendance on the
solree given by the pupils of the ma-
steal department of the College. 1t
was given for the purpose of showing
the patrons and friends of the school
the progress which the pupils in vo-
caland instrumental music had made
during the past session. After prayer
by Rev. l.. G. Miller, the vocal class,
under the instruction of Prof. Mars
tella, sang several pieces, after which
he took them through a rigid exami
nation on the principles of music land
the thorough knowledge of the study
exhibited by the pupils in their ready
answers, evidenced not alone their
aptitude, but also the patient and sys-
tematic training which they are re-
ceiving at the hands of Prof. Mars
tella. After the examination of the
vocal class, the audience were favor
ed with exhibitions of the progress
and skill developed by the pupils in
the instrumental class, under the
training of their accomplished pre-
ceptor, Miss Kohlhousen. There were
present in the audience some good
musical critics, who awarded the
highest praise to the splendid ability
and efficiency of the teacher and the
gratifying progress of her pupils. We
should like to refer specially to some
of the girls and boys who showed real
musical genius, but as all did so we'll
we forbear to make special reference.
The exercises were continued un-
til near ten O'Clock, the programme
consisting of vocal and instrumental
music interspersed. The audience
were highly pleased with the even
evenings entertainment.
