The recent running of trains over the
Missouri River on the ice is not a new eX
pedent. About twenty years ago, before
the railroad bridge was built across the
Susquehauna at Havre de Grace, the trains
of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Bal
timore Railroad were transported on the
boat Maryland, which is still used for like
purpose in our harbor. One winter the
river frOze over 50 solidly that the boat
could not be run. Rails were laid on the
ice, and during month trains made the
crossing of a mile regularly.

THE LYNN TRUNK MYSTERY. The in
yestiEation regarding the body of the young
woman found in Saugus river at Lynn,
Mass, as noted in our general news de
paTtment, demonstrated beyond doubt
that death was caused by malpractice,
probably within forty eight hours. The
oudy was attired simply i'll a long white
night dress. Suspended from the ears was
a pair Of small gold earrings, with pendant
globes. The face was clotted with frozen
blood. which on being washed away had
been revealed the fact that the woman 5
nose was completely cut oil, apparently
with some sharp instrument, and with She
evident object of causing Disagreement
which would prevent identification. lhe
BODY was that of person probably from
twenty to twenty-five years OF age The
face was very much emaciated ami bore
signs of intense suffering previous TO death.
The woman had probably not been accus-
toned to hard labor as her hands were
quite white and bore no calloused skin
The body had slightly decomposed- The
detectives are of opinion that tue woman
was killed by some person in or near BOs
ton, and that she came from some one OF
the lyiug-in establishments about that city.
The trunk is one which can be easily lden-
tilted, rs there are very few of that kind IN
the State, and on one end of the llG Is
label of the Everett (Massachusetts) tx
press company printed on red paper. The
label had the appearance or having been on
or " a short time. The detectives are fol-
lowing this clue, aud are in hopes that be-
fore long the trunk, if not the body, will
be identified
BosTOS, March 1.-Detectives claim to
have discovered by means of the label on
the trunk in which was found the body of
q murdered woman at Lynn, Mass, that
the trunk was carried to Everett about !he
L. t-,v,f-
Emerton positively identifies the trunk as
one he took from a house in this city. The
detectives are confident that the facts il
the case will soon be developed.

II the House at Harrisburg, last week,

THINGS are not just sob lovely now fo-
that old public functionary, Ex-Governor
James Pollock. late Superintendent Of the
Philadelphia Mint. Three weeks ago
Mr.. Hayes nominated HIM to be Naval
officer of the port of Philadelphia, in place
of Hies.and, one Of Cameron's most slavish
and devoted followers, but Cameron so
managed the matter that the Committee
having the nomination in charge took no
action on it before Congress adjourned on
Tuesday last, and for the first time where
of the memory of man runneth not to the
contrary, Pollock is without an Office. Il
is a sad aud very awk ward predicament
for Pollock, but Mr.. Hayes can relieve him
by reappoiutiug him, and as Pollock be
lieves he has an imprescriptible right to an
office, lie will no doubt do 50.

THE maintenance Of the National Guard
of this State. in all ''the pride, pom2 and
circumstance of glorious war; has assum-
ed the form of raid upon the public
treasury OF the most alarming proportions
The report of the Auditor General for 1873
shows that during the year the amount of
money paid out Of the State treasury ifor
''militia expenses, was $3.50, 6S7.74 And
now bill is pending in the Legislature,
and actually passed the House early last
week, appropriating the sum of one hun
drsd and sirty thousand dollars out of the
treasury, to be expended by the Adjutant
General in purchasing for the National
Guard such uniforms, great coats, blankets,
knapsacks, and accOuntrements, as may be
necessary 20 complete its equipment, after
the style and pattern of similar articles
now in use by the United States army
Shortly before the Legislature met, Mr..
Wickersham, the Superintendent of Public
Instruction, is.a.ed in public speech that
it was useless for him to draw his warrants
for common school purposes for the reason
thanks to the Republican Legislature of
last year that there was no money in the
treasury to meet them. With this dis
graceful state Of affairs staring the Legis-
lature in its face, the members of the
House, by a vote I21 yeas to 60 nays, found
no sort of difficulty in endorsing this huge
and extravagant appropriation to the Ma
tional Guard. Mr.. Doyle, a Greenback
member from Huntingdon county, made
quite a spirited and vigorous attack on the
bill, mainly on the ground of the present
depleted condition of the State treasury,
and also because Of the inefficency OF the
Guard, charging it with being directly re-
spOnsible for the Pittsburg riots. The Ad-
jutant General however, and his brigadiers
who were on hand lobbying for the money,
had their forces well organized, aud rush
ed the bill through by the vote we have
stated. VIII the hopes Of the people for
legislative retTenchment and reform ever
be realized? Candidates for the Legisla-
ture are always very loud and emphatic in
their professions of reform before the
election, but when they 60 to Harrisburg
they appear to think that the only, or at
least the chief business of a Legislature,
is to vote away the peoples money
Whether the taxpayers Of the State will
quietly submit to this extravagant waste
of the public funds for military purposes,
is a question which they themselves must
answer. OF the two Representatives from
this county, Mr.. Fenlon in brief speech
vouched for the honest disbursement, by
the military board, Of appropriations for
merly made, and tEen voted for the bill,
while Mr.. Woodruff voted against it.

THE bill which passed both branches Of
congress, limiting the number Of Chinese
imported into this country in any one yes
sci TO fifteen, was returned by Mr.. Hayes
with his veto, on Saturday last, to the
House in which it originated, and an effort
o. pass the bill over the veto by the consd-
-utioual two-thirds vote failed. The veto
is based mainly upon the ground that the
bill conflicts with a clause in the treaty
between the United States and China, con
cluded in 1865, and that, therefore, if Chi
uese emigration to this country is to be
checked, it must be done by mutual nego-
tiati0ns between the parties TO the original
treaty, 7 not by an act Of Congress
This seems 20 be = very common sense
view Of the matter. y tremendous effort
from California aud Oregon was brought
% bear on Mr.. Hayes to induce him to sign
the bill, aud an equally vigorous appeal
was made to him from the eastern section
Of the UuiOn, New York city especially. to
defeat il with his veto. In these attempts
rD control the action Of the executive some
strange contradictions occurred. Thus on
Iast Monday week a meeting Of Baptist
clergymea was held in Philadelphia at
which resolutions we're passed, aud a COPY
sen. to Mr.. Hayes, coudemning the passage
Of the bill aud asking him 20 veto it. At
the very time that this meeting was being
held the First Baptist church Of San Fan
cisco sent a dispatch to the President de-
claring that all its members, amounting TO
two thousand, implOred him 10 sign the
bill, as a measure vital to Christian ciyiH-
zatiou. When the veto was telegraphed
to San Francisco on Saturday evening the
greatest indignation was manifested. and
Mr.. Hayes was denounced by the people
aud press 10 the most uumeasured terms.
