HARRISBURG, April 23.-The mem
bers of the Legislature who dropped into
the Treasury Department to-day to draw
little money on their salary account
were astonished to learn that there
would be no more cash for them for
some time, and that they would have to
take their chances along with other EN-
ployees of the State. Each member
has received up TO date $72O for the one
hundred days. session, and the Treas
urer has reached the conclusion that as
the schools have been behind for over q
year, and other State institutions have
been refused their money, the law
makers, who have been frittering away
the time should have little of the same
medicine. Over two hundred and thlr-
ty thousand dollars have thus far been
paid out on account of Legislative sala-
ries and expenses, and complaints have
now become so numerous and loud about
the Legislators being paid in advance, at
the expense of everything and every
body else, that this condition of affairs
has been forced. The verdict at the
Treasury Department is no more money
for members until the close of the ses-
sion. Such situation of State finan-
clal affairs has never before existed, and
to-day there is general weeping and
wailing. 1t is my belief that this will
have an effect TO shorten the session.
Some well posted people hold the view
that this decision of the State Treasurer
is intended as "pincher" to compel
the members to put a tax on oil. The
long.delayed school appropriations will
now be paid as fast as the money comes
into the Treasury.

Negroes to Give Place to Chinese.

The negro exodus which has attracted
much attention for some days through
out the country has now become sub
ject of serious consideration In political
circles. Information recently received,
indicates that there will be quite stam-
pede from all the cotton States, and in
stead of being local movement in Lou
isian and Mississippi, 1t promises to be-
come universal throughout the South
The Southern planting interest is al
ready taking steps for selfprotection.
The mass convention of the planters of
the Mississippi Valley, to be held at
Vicksburg, May 8, will be attended by
the Mississippi Senators and Represen-
tatives, all of whom, including Senator
Bruce, have been invited. Information
received by them shows that the plan
ters are apprehensive of serious indus
trial crisis, and are preparing to meet
the emergency. Agents have already
been dispatched to California, to confer
with the Six Chinese Companies, and
also to Hong Kong to ascertain what
arrangements could be made to secure
several cargoes of Chinese laborers to
take the places of the negro fugitives.
A number of letters have been re-
ceived by Southern Representatives from
their constituents, urging change of
front on the Chinese question, and in
stead of restricting immigration, to fa-
cilitate it by more favorable treaty stip-
ulation. The specified object, according
to prominent Southern Senators, now
is to introduce at least 10000 Cinnamon,
to be ready for cotton picking in the
coming fall, and put them in training
for planting operations next spring.
The animosity existing between the
whites and the blacks at the South
would seem, from the sentiments ex-
pressed by the Southern representatives,
to be so deep seated that the former are
unwilling even to make concessions in
order to induce the negroes to remain
The whites claim that by the introduc-
ton of Chinese laborers they would be
able to establish system more advan-
tageous to their interests, and separated
from the political questions involved in
negro labor. The industrial question in
the South has now become one of
leading Importance.
In explanation of the negro move
ment, it is asserted by Southern and
even Northern Democrats, that for sew
eral months scheme has been on foot
to colonize formidable negro vote in
the closely contested States, notably Ohio
and Indiana. The Republicans disclaim
any such purpose, or any knowledge of
such an attempt, and declare that this
explanation is but flimsy veil to cover
the real cause of the movement-name-
ly, the bad treatment received by the
colored laborers.

A Woman without Conscience.

Peter Smith, sixty years of age, in
duced Mary McNamee, relative, to
come and live with him at his house in
Philadelphia, promising If she would
take care of him and his house, he
would buy her sewing machine and
she could keep all the money she earn
ed. After living thus for some time the
old man made a will, giving her the
house but, thinking she might have
trouble in getting possession of it after
his death, he was induced to burn the
will and give her deed for it. He kept
possession of the property for some
time, but finally Mary turned him out,
and in addition brought suit against him
for fifty-fve weeks wages. The case
came up before Judge Mitchell on Thurs
day, but the jury evidently thought
Mary had got enough, so they returned
a verdict in favor of Peter.

Strange Attempt to Assasslnate.

CHICAGO, April 2S.--While Edwin
Booth was giving the soliloquy in the
last act of Richard III, at McVicker's
Theatre tonight, shot was fired at
him by man sitting in the left-hand
upper gallery. Booth sat still until af-
ter about three seconds, when second

WITH the sudden withdrawal of Uni
ted States four per cents from the mar
ket at par, there is an advance in all
sorts of securities that promise anything
like five or six per cent. interest with
any reasonable guarantee of regular
payments. The activity on our own
market witnessed in the latter part of
last week has not been equaled in sever
al years, and the demand for bonds as
well as stocks has been very great. AS
long as the fours could be had for the
asking, people held off, but now that the
unknown quantity in the market has
been ascertained, we find millions of
money seeking investment, and railroad
securities especially going up with great
rapidity. In the last three days of last
week no less than five millions and a
half were sold on tlfe New York Ex-
change, and the sales in Philadelphia
were very large, aggregating nearly
5000, philadelphia North american.

jumping from the second-story win

Telegraphiug without Wires.

, Prof. Loomis continues his expert
ments in the mountains of West Vir-
ginia to demonstrate his theory that at
certain elevations there is a natural
electric current, by taking advantage of
which telegraphic messages may be sent
without the use of wires. 1t is said
that he has telegraphed as far as eleven
miles by mean of kites flown with cop
per wire. When the kites reached the
same altitude, or got into the same cur
rent, communication by means of an
instrument similar to the Morse instru-
ment was easy, but ceased as soon as
one Of the kites was lowered. He has
built towers on two hills about twenty
milesa part, and from the tops of them
has run up steel rods into the region of
the electric current.

How $1,000 was Found in a Tree.

A treasure up a tree was seer in the
watches of the night by a peddler, who
was sleeping in a farmhouse in the
Shenandoah Valley. He told his dream
to the farmer next morning, and on
three successive nights he had the same
vision. Then he prevailed OIL the farmer
to accompany him to the forest, where
he pointed out a large oak tree as the
one he had seen in his dream. 1t was
apparently sound at the butt, but about
twenty feet up a limb had been broken
off. The farmer did not feel like humor-
ing what he supposed to be a supersti-
tious within, but the old fellow seemed
to have confidence in his vision. and
offered him one half the spoils if he
would help cut down the tree. When the
tree fell there was a rattle of coin e
where the limb had been broken off, and
a small hollow was found there. BY a
little chopping a large cavity was found,
and within was a mass of silver. Both
seemed wild with delight, and on count
ing up found that the pile amounted to
$1,000. The peddler expressed his un
willingness to carry around so much
silver in his pocket, and inquired where
he would be likely to get ~greenbacks
for his share. The farmer, having con-
siderable money in his house, imme-
diately transferred to the peddler 80, 800
in PAPER money and took charge of the
entire lot of silver. The peddler disap-
peared, and when his partner attemp-
ted to pass some of the silver, lol it was
counterfeit. He was the victim of a
gang of coiners.-Lyachburg Virginian.
