THE HARRISBURG CONVENTION.

The Republican State Convention met at
noon on Wednesday last in Harrisburg. W.
IL. koontz, of Somerset, was made tempora-
ry chairman, which was a concession TO the
party outside of the Cameron Mackey ring.
Edward Mcpherson, formerly Clerk Of the
House of Representatives was chosen per-
manent chairman. j. Don Cameron, a men,
ber of the ruling family, w. r. Leeds, the
Pilgrim leader, ii. M. Hoyt, of Wilkes
Barre, the present Chairman of the State
Committee and Il. w. Mackey, ex-State
Treasurer and financial manager for the
ring were elected delegates-at-l large. Russell
Errett was to have been one of the delegates
at-large, but his Congressional aspirations
probably necessitated his withdrawal. Ben
amin III. Brewster and John w. Cbalfant
were chosen as electors-at-large. The plat
form of the Lancaster Convention of last
year was reaflirmed and Hartranft declared
the choice of the Convention for President.
The Radical organs are squirming under
the exposures of Republican rottenness and
are devsing all manner of plans to divert
attention from the results of Democratic in
vestigations The attacks made on the Hon
Hester Clymer are attributable to thi:
dread of exposure. The MiHonian has just
discovered a new cause for alarm. II
says:
The present session of Congress, notwith-
standing the boasts of the Democrats is moi
likely to prove profitable one for the peo
pie. 1t has been in session nearly fou
months, nothing has been done worth men
tioning, except the exposure of few Demo
cratic thieves, and experienced member
predict that an adjournment will not taxi
place before the first of July. The indis
| crimnate reduction of appropriations will
be more than counterbalanced by the ex
penses necessarily attendant upon a lonl
session and the evils likely to flow from it.
Now that is refreshing. Members of Con
gress get no more salary if they remain il
session until July, than if they adjourn il
April, but "the expenses necessarily at
tendant upon long session" ought to be saved
and the thieves (whom the Miitonian in.
genuously calls Democratic) allowed to &c
unscathed and robberies pass unchallenget
to save Expenses. It's "the evils likely
| to flow" from continuance in session tha
troubles the MiHonian. Belknap was one o.
those "evils" and there are more of them tC
come yet.

State officials and the poorly paid

Their salaries, of course, depend
upon q different sort of reform
The Judges, Chaneellors, and all
other officials whose salaries are
paid by the State, will have to
wait until it suits the convenience
of the "reformers' before they
can get their salaries. Governor
Houston was going to show us

THE DEAD CARDINAL.
Solemn High Mass Celebrated
by the Pope.

- ~
Special Dispatch to the New York IIerald.l
RoME, Nov. IA deep-seated
feeling of reverential awe and
sorrow broods over the Eternal
City. The death of Cardinal An
tonelli seems universally regret
ted. Continual masses were eel
ebrated in the solemn service con
tinued until the final high mass
for the repose Of the soul of the
dead.
The corpse is laid upon a lofty
catafalque in the grand saloon Of
the Cardinals palace. The body
is completely dressed in the semi
regal Cardinal robes, The hat
stands beside the reclining head,
and the face in the pale light has
am alabaster whfteness. The
hands are clasped over the breast,
and the expression on the face is
that of blessed tranquility. a
double row of tall wax taperS sur
round thepier, and an awful So
lemnity surrounds the scene.
Spectators are not admitted to
view the remains, and it was only
through the extreme courtesy OF
member of the College Of Car
.dinals that | was conducted to the
sacred presence of the dead. The
high mass for the repose of the
.soul of the dead Cardinal was eel
ebrated by His Holiness the
Pope, in person, this morning, in
the Paulin chapel. The interment
will take place in the recently
constructed mausOleum Of the
Antonelli family in the public
cemetery.
Visits Of coincidence have been
paid to the relatives Of the illus
trious deceased by the prominent
members of the government and
members of the diplomatic corps
have left their cards. Cardinal
Franchi is to succeed Antonell
as Secretary of State.

Symptoms Of a Diseased Liver.
DAM in the right side, under the

sure sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder-blad and
it frequently extends to the top Of
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for a rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss of
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general arc costivc, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with a dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
There isgencrally aconsiderable loss
ofmcmory, accompanied with pain
full sensation Of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient
complains ofwearincss and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation Of the skin; his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exercise would be bene-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every rem
cdy. Several of the above symp-
toms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few Of them ex-
listed, yet examination Of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

COIOred Congregational Com
ference,

The Chattanooga Commercial
says that the first session of the
Central South Congregations
Conference was held in that city
Thursday night. The Central
South Conference embraces the
States of Tennessee, Georgia.
Alabama and part Of Mississippi.
Its work is almost entirely among
the c0l0red people. 1t derives its
importance from the fact that the
ministers who compose it came
from the institutions of learning
such as the Fisk and Atlanta Uni
versities, which have been per
forming so great a work among
the colored beople during the
past ten years.

A Chinese way OfDealing win
Corrupt Officers.

Pail Man Gazette.
The following extract from a
China paper gives a picture of pa
teTnal government in that coun-
try, in which the precept of not
sparing the rod is carried into
practice in a way which ought to
strike terror into the hearts of the
official hierarchy. The bamboo
has long been known as an effect
i've instrument for governing the
masses and the correction of of
tenders against the Chinese code,
but there is something novel as
well as startling in the idea of a
degraded official being made to
hold out his hands for hundred
blows to be administered on the
palms as a preliminary castigation
Tor malverSation. If such a mode
OF dealing with official malpracti-
ces were to become general, we
might soon hope to see Il notable
improvement III the administra.
tive departments which in China
are sc VIGOROUSLY bad and cor
rupt.
ave learn that one of the man
darins here, who had swindied
the Government of a large sum Of
money when making purchases
Of war-like materials at Hong
Kong during the FormOsan affair,
was brought up for trial before
the redoubtable Ting and the
Fautai. On the 4th Of Augustde.
graded official was subjected, as
an introduction to something Sc
we're in store for him, to a fog
ging of one hundred blows on the
palms of his hand. He was to
have been bambooedin the usual
way as other criminals on the
breech, but for his bitter crying
and vehement entreaties, coupled
with the fact of his not being in
very good health. The defaulting
official is surnamed Man, and is
related to a Taoutaf of that name
who was degraded at the same
time with the Viceroy Wing Han
in the washing affair.""

A Curious Marriage.

"A curious circumstance in re.
gard to the marriage of John
Kemble, the actor, is told in Ban
nister's memories. One Of the
daughters Of anoble Lord former
ly holding a high Office, but then
living in retirement, had fallen in
love with the graceful and snowy
actor, merely from seeing him on
the stage. Kemble was sent for
by the father, and to his astonish
ment, acquainted with the cir
cumstances. The noble Lord told
him further, that it was in his
power to do him either a great
evil or n great favor; and that, if
he would do the latter, by reliev-
ing him of all apprehension Of the
lady's indulging her phantasy,
and relieving him elGectually by
marrying and one else for whom
he might have an attachment, his
wife should receive a dover Of
$4,000. KEN bic Immediately
proposed to Miss Brereton, q pref
ty actress in the company, and
the marriage took place without
delay. But the amusing part Of
the tale is, that the afflicted and
magnanimous father instantly re-
covered his spirits and lost his
thousands, he declared that he
had no recollection whatever Of
the compact, nor indeed any Of the
idea, further than some general
conversation on such matters
with the "very intelligent person
in question: adding ''that he was
to pay $4,000 for every within of
his daughter he must soon be n
much poorer man than he even
intended to be-" 1t is believed
that Kemble never got q shilling
from this very sensitive noble.
man, and that, for the rest of his
life, he attached a new value to
the vulgar etiquette of singing
and sealing beforehand, even with
the most plausible Of mankind, J

Worse Tran "Three Black
CFOVYs.t

The editor of the Concordia
(Kan.) Enterprise is willing to
take his affidavit that the follow
ing story is true: On the I'd in
slant, toward evening, a young
son of Nh. A. Thompson,Ewho lives
about eight and a half miles from
town southwark, was passing over
a hill on the farm of Mr.. Gibbs
Myers, a neighbor, in quest Of his
fathers cattle, when he accident
ally stepped into a small hole,
and, drawing his leg out quickly,
drew with it several serpents.
The sight frightened the lad, and
he ran home with all speed and
reported his experience. He soon
returned, however, with another
lad, and found that the hilltop
was the home of a community Of
crawling reptiles, and before they
left the spotthey had dispatched
forty-six. Day after day this work
went on, until last Sunday the
dead snakes were picked up and
counted and placed in a pile near
the mouth OF the den. The mum
Der ofl776 was counted, and still
the work Of killing goes on from
day to day. We went to the place
on Monday, accompanied by l.,
H. Smyth, and the astounding
sight of near 1000 snakes in pile
met our gaze, with live ones still
in apparently undiminished num-
bers upon the hill. We killed ff-
teen in as many minutes and had
enough, while two little lads were
all the time at work. And the
work Of killing has been going on
ever since, until now we hear that
about 5000 have been despatched
there are hundreds, perhaps thou
sands, lett! The snakes are Of
the species called the blue racer,
with a sprinkling of adders, and
vary in size from the thickness Of
Il mans finger to that Of his wrist,
and in length from a foot to four
or five feet. They run with re-
markable speed, and at first were
endeayoring to escape
and not much disposed to show
fight. They are now, however,,
becoming vicious and show fight,
and at times get startlingly ag-
WreSsiva.
