MERIDIAN LINES.

ED. REPUBLICAN,
In reading County
Surveyor Brockway's report to the
Sec'y Of Internal Affairs, 1 see that
there has never been established any
thing of the nature of "meredian
line" or standard "chain measure" in
Forest County. 1t is very much to
be hoped that, Mt the May term of
court in Forest Co., the Grand Jurors
will recommend to the court to issue
an order for the establishment of a
meredtan on the public grounds and
that the Co. Commissioners will
speedily act and :hen require every
person who conducts surveys in the
county to compare his compass and
chain with the one at the county seat.
Much litigation would thereby be
spared and land owners could feel
assured that when once surveyed, their
lands would then be bounded by lines
terminated by corners not liable to be
changed by every one who PretendS TO
be what should be called surveyor
Let this cline" then be made the
standard and the variations of mag
netic Deedles could be taken from
that. Although the cline" might be
correct, yet the variation taken at
Tionesta would not he the same for
all parts of the County. For the twp's
of Tionesta, Harmony, Hickory, Green
and Kisgsley it would be very nearly
correct; but for the twp's of Howe,
jerks and Barnett it would be more
than at Tionesta.
During the autumn of '7S, l, in
conducting series ofsurveys in jerks
and Howe twp's, was unable to "hnd
corners" In comparing my compass
with "meredian line" at home before
starting out, / found it to vary % 28
west. The first day we accomplished
nothing, and knowing that the varia,
tion Of the needle must be more in
that locality than the one 1 left, yet
not knowing hoy much, l waited until
night, then with the assistance of q
student Of mine, we established me,
redian by means of the stars Polari;
and Alioth from which / found thai
my compass varied q ~. After thi;
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1879-05-14

| concluded my surveys and to my
satisfaction found corners and sight
trees along with other land marks.
j. A. Caldwell, G. E. Co. Surveyor
of Jefferson Co., rightly remarks !:
Zone incompetent surveyor will cause
law suits enough to fatten halfa dozen
lawyers"
Several weeks since 1 had occasion
to survey a tract of land which l sur
veyed in the fall of '76. Then my
compass varied % 90, and in turning
off the variation of this year, or rather
this time of year, /, to my positive
delight, chit" aU of my sight trees and
erdctly closed the survey; this would
have been, of course, impossible if my
chainmen had made any error what.
ever.
L trust that the citizens of Forest
county will not think that l am med.
dleing in affairs that do not concern
me, but on the contrary that they will
prevail upon the Grand Jury and
Court for the establishment of "me-
redian line" and STANDARD chain
length" which are absolutely needed.
Yours &C.,
SURVEYOR.

Gratis will have one more majority for
the Republicans to overcome. The
debate seems to indicate that the ma
iority have determined to strengthen
themselves by this expsdient, and that
Kellogg must 60. IF this is done there
will be but one Republican Senator
left in all the South, Bruce, of Miss.
This is the first time, l believe, where
case Of this kind which has been
settled by one Senate has been
reopened upon change in the polit-
ical character of that body and for no
other than partisan reasons. But des.
perate conditions seem to justify des.
perate remedies in the Democratic
mind.
The hot haste in which the Confed.
crates rushed through the new bill
driving the civil power of the nation
from the polls show the little conf.
dence they feel in their cause. They
choked off debate and passed it under
the previous question gag. The Senate
will take time to discuss it, however,
aud the Republicans will tell the
rebels somS truths about their dis
loyal intrigues. l observe that the
Democrats have renewed their conf.
denee in the Presidents intention to
sign some bill Of the sort, but what
reason is there for this confidence?
This bill is just as opon to objections
expressed in the Presidents message
as the other, and unless he has changed
his mind, he cannot accept it. The
Republicans solidly oppose it, and l
believe the Democratic claim Of conf
dence is simply to keep up the cour-
age of their adherents. 1t is impossi.
BILE to believe that the President will
sign this bill, since the Democrats
refuse to admit any amendment
looking in the least to the preservation
of national authority to keep the
peace. For men who profess SO much
confidence in this direction, the Con-
fe ierates are taking a singular course.
They are still threatening that if the
President does not sign this bill they
will "starve him out" If the Presi-
dent is open to this sort of argument
of course they may succeed, but his
friends don't believe he is, and the
Democrats must back down rather
than go to the country upon the
starving out platform.
Hon. VIM. e. Chandler has been
elected Secretary of the Republican
Congressional Committee. This is an
admirable choice, and Mr.. Chandler
will lead us to victory. By the way,
there is u general expression of a
desire to see Mr.. Chandler elected U.
S. Senator from New Hampshire.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 8, 10.
Confederate Chalmers yesterday
again succeeded in airing his bad
repute as the hero Of the Fort Pillow
massacre. He called up his resolu.
ton with the professed purpose of
having committee of investigation
appointed to report upon his Conduct
as a rebel General during the war. In
reality he merely wanted to get off a
speech to magnify his importsn ce.
Bot he got almost enough of that sub
ject before he got through, from the
reminders he received that the Repub.
lican members were pretty we'll posted
IN the infamy of Fort Pillow and
other rebel atrocities FINALLY, Chal-
mer's companions came to his rescue,
and solidly voted not to allow the
committee Of investigation, while all
the Republicans voted to give him a
committee. Like most fire eaters o.
his class, Chalmers didn't want a
committee of investigation; but he
didn't make much out Of his buncombe
display.
The debate in the Senate for two
days on the Louisiana Senatorship has
A good deal of political significance
The Democrats have a majority in
that body of 10, the numbers being AZ
