QUEER EQuITY.-Thc Legislature, to
produce equity in the salary of County
Superintendent, passed a law this scs-
sion regulating that question, by adop.
ting a minimum salary for each city
and county. The Directors can raise
the salary above that fixed by the Act
of Assembly, but they cannot reduce
it below that fixed by the act. In our
judgement the equity feature is as had.
ly crippled AS under the old law. Ac.
cording TO u circular issued by tho De-
%partment the salary for Clearicld coun.
ty is fixed at 8 $1,000 and that of Sny-
der county, also, at 81, 900. The form.
err county has POS schools and l,130
square miles TO travel over while the
latter has only LOG schools and 3l7
square miles. The length of the school
term is 537 in Clearfield and 5.33 in
Snyder. Double the numberofschools
and nearly four times the travelling to

THE"TWO LICK" MEMBER,

--
The editor of the Harrisburg Patriot,
in abiding to our neighbor Congress
man, remarks: at turns out that the
true inwardness of Congressman Har-
ry Whites effort in behalf of an APP
preparation for the Improvement of
KiskimeneiAs creek consists in this,
that White is a large stakeholder in a
certain national bank in the town of
Indiana, and that the national bank is
the principal stakeholder in the Two
Lick lumber company, whose opera
tons are carried on upon tho waters
of the Kiskiminetas. In other words,
the clause which White had inserted
in the river and harbor bill was in
g%eniously devised to secure an sppro-
priation from the United States Treas.
ury, a considerable portion of which
would in the end find its way into the
pocket of the Congressman from the
Indiana district. Histrionic litera-
turc has been graced with the
sketch of o character known as The

Shakespeare to trumpet his name to

which the voters of the Quaker City
send up to Harrisburg In proof O
this fact, we cite as authority the Wash,
ington correspondent Of the Philadel
phia Record, of the Sth inst, who no
lates it as follows;
Congressman Kelley and O'Neil
were the heroes of a very lively cpl
tsode during the debate on the tariff IN
the House yesterday. Kelley had 70
ted with tho Democrats in favor OF
Woods motion to take up the tariff
bill. O'Neill took exception to this
vote, and, turning in his seat toward
where Kelley sat, began to uphraid
the latter for his action. Not exactly
rclishing this lecture from his col.
league, the Judge replied with more
vigor than politeness. Words led to
moro words, until some very bitter
things had been said OR both sides,
and fists had been mutually shaken.
Their friends gathered around and in.
tcriered and the Impending conflict
was avoided" Junge Kellcy's vote,
Of course, did not mean that he was
for the bill, but the fact remains that
if Messrs. Kelley of Pennsylvania and
Banks Of Massachusetts, had not been
more anxious to make speeches than
to defeat the bill, the bill would not
now be before the House.
Tho conversation, as reported by Il
vivacious EAR witness, was somewhat
outside tho ordinary pale of parlia-
mentary intercourse, as will be seen
by the following report from memory,
which is asserted to be almost rerbdtum
ct Werdtum.
oNeill, turning excitedly toward
Kelley, and shaking a dexter digit at
him: "You are voting against the in
forests and wishes of your constitu-
ents, sir"
Kelley, in a deep bass key and in
tones Of whitening scorn "When | get
to DO your dog, sir, put a collar round
my neck, tie a string, and then, per-
haps, you can lead me-"
O'Neill, in an excited treble tone:
"You arc a puppy now, sir"
Kelley, glowing ominously, "lf We
were not in this House, sir, | would
thrash you for that remark, sir and
if you will repeat out of doors, SIR, |
will stripe your face, sir. And ] mott

was hid from view. There is nothing

DECIDEDLY WRONG.

The Lancaster Mfeliigencey, in its
conclusions that the State Treasurer
sJ-rr..s-. -.g.-i
conducted Us heretofore in the interest
of the State ring, does tho party, Col.
Noyes and itself great injustice. Up
here, where Col. Noyes is personally
known, the most consistent friends of
reform have no such ideas as our Ian.
castor contemporary advances, and par.
tlcularly is there no ground for such
suspicious, since the appointment of
Mr.. Walters as chiei clerk. There is
no more consistent, straightforward,
determined Democrat in the State than
Col. Noyes' cashier, and there is no
-one whom no could have chosen tor
the position who would try to do his
duty to the people of the State and tho
party he is n member Of o faith.
fully than will ]. Blake Walters. The
writer of this is personally acquainted
with both Mr.. Walters and Mr.. Elem.
ing, two of Col. Noyes' assistants in
the Treasury department, and we
know them both to be honorable, com
petent gentleman, qualified in every
way to fill the positions they have
been chosen to, and men who would
scorn to do anything that would bring
disgrace or suspicion upon the Demo.
cratic party or the State Treasurer.
If other departments of the govern.
ment under Democratic control are
conducted as faithfully and well as
the State Treasury promises to be
with Mr.. Walters as its cashier, the
party will have no cause to complain,
and the Mtelligencr VIC feel confident
will find its suspicious both unfounded
aud unfair.
Col. Noyes imposes an addltiohai
duty on on Mr.. Walters. his cashier,
by the appointment of Bayard as one
of his clerks. Mr.. Walters, in addi-
ton TO watching the money of the
Commonwealth, the corporations of.
the State and the old State ring, will
have to keep a sharp eye ON Bayard
and his pals, Simonton and Olmstead,
or through the carelessness of the one
and the sharp practices OF the other
two, the Treasurcr's office may get up
a stink and a steal similar to the ono
those three worthless have just cmerg-
ed from in tho Auditor Generals Office.
We don't believe anything of the kind
will happen, but it makes additional
watchfulness. On the part Of our friend
