We learn that Mr.. E. N. Robinson, during
his recent visit to New York, succeeded in
selling a placer mine in MERGED, California,
at n big figure. He also got the Price &
Davis, Of this district, far along in the di-
rection Of a sale. The property was left in
good hands, and it is more than likely that
it will change owners shortly. Mr.. Robin
son could not remain longer to give the
matter his personal attention. He will
probably make another trip to the East in
Anril or May.

The other day the police at Union
Depot noticed a feeble-looking old man
wandering in and out to kill time I'M
til his train should depart, and as he
several times displayed quite a roll Of
bills, he was cautioned to look out for
pickpockcts and confidence men.
Wouldn't rob an old man like me,
would they?n he innocently asked.
The warning was repeated, but he
logged around as before, and after a
time was seen in consultation with
two strangers, who had walked around
10 the wharf An officer got him
away from them and angrily said:
Didn't ! warn you against stran-
gers? Those fellows are after your
money!
@But how can they git it when
have it in my pocket and my hand on
it all the time?u
"Well, you look out
eyes, I'll look out; but ! don't want
to be uncivil When anybody talks
to me / like to talk back to them"
The strangers soon had him on the
string again, and in about quarter
of an hour they left him in a hurried
manner, and he sanntered into the de-
pot with his wallet in his hand.
There! You've let them beat you,'
exclaimed the officer "How much did
you lend them?"
"Well, they wanted 500" he replied
"And you handed it over, of course?p
81 give 'em $50 bill and got $50
back
"Well, you'll never see the bill
again.
Il kinder hope not" he chuckled as
he drew down his eyes, sit was a
counterfeit which my sen found in
Troy, and being as | am very old and
innocent, and not up to the tricks of
the wicked world, guess I'll get in
to the car before somebody robs me of
my boots! If any one should come
around looking for me tell 'em I'm not
at home.

Mr.. Snia ON American journalism.
Philadelphia Press.

Although entertaining the highest
admiration for American journalism
and recognizing the dexterity with
which American journals are edited,
and the mass of varied information
which within a brief space they con-
tain, | cannot help thinking it lacks
seriousness of purpose and authorita-
tive expressi The editorial "We"
lis not strong enough. Journalism in
England as it really exists is power
|ful but occult exposition Outside
London newspaper offices and clubs
you scarcely hear who the leading
journalists are. The profession is
magnifcently remunerative, but it
leads to nothing else but Journalism
either of political or personal ma
ture Take Delane. Of the London
Times, as an example. Although he
welded potent influence, and was,
in fact, one of the most Influential
men in all England, he never aspired
to be, and, in fact, never was, any
thing but plain John Delane, editor.
Here in America journalism is more
personal. In Philadelphia, Mr. Childs
is an example; in New York, Mr.
Bennett. One feature in which the
American papers surpass the English
is the imperial way they. have Of work
ing up the local news. In London
this department is given scarcely any
attention.

The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1880-03-05

At the meeting of the American institute
of mining engineers in New York the other
day, the President, Eckley B. Coke, of this
county, congratulated the members upon
the tlourishing condition of the industries
connected with their profession but regretted
the result of the prosperity that made
necessary the absence of many prominent
members The first paper read was by E.
+. L0iseau on "the successful manufacture
of pressed fuel at Port Richmond, Philadel-
phia" A huge fire in the CRATE gave evi-
dencc of the qualities of this fuel speci-
mems of which in egg-shaped Jumps were
examined with interest. The fire was
started without the Use of Rindling wood
The paper explained the process of manu-.
facture, the difficulties encountered, and
the measures adopted to obviate them
The elements of this fuel are 81 per cent.
of coal dust, and per cent, of pitch, the
latter being used to cement the dust. The
fuel lasts as long as ordinary anthracite
and does not produce clinkers. Thirteen
tons Of it are now produced each hour
Reference was made to the difficulty OF
obtaining supply of coal dust, as the coal
men were not inclined to supply the means
of making fuel to compete with coal
Bnt confidence was expressed that it would
soon appear to the advantage of coal men
to erect machines for the manu- facture of
pressed fuel and make it a leading industry.

THE PRESIDENCY.

Rcsolued That the States be requested to
instruct their delegates to the National Dem.
ocratic convention to be held in 1880 wheth-
ef it be desirable to continue the two'thrds
rule longer in force in National conventions
and that the National committee insert such
request in the call for the next convention.
We invite attention to the above resolu
luton which follows the call of the Demo-
cratic National committee in reference to
"two-thirds rule" now in force in our nomi
mating convention. 1t is matter deeply
affecting the welfare of the organization
aud its abrogation may be disastrous and j.
certain to have a bad effect. As long a.
the "two-thrds rule" is in force no two OF
three men in the :party can secure the nomi'
nation of favorte by any corrupt means
A mere majority may be secured. Two
thirds cannot
A man who can command two-thirds oi
the delegates may not be greatly objections
BILE and must at all events be less so thar
one whose best efforts can only secure ma
jority.
Among the Republicans, Cameron anc
Conkling with New York and Pennsylvania
in their hands, can easily secure majority
of the Chicago convention for Grant, ano
thus force his nomination on the party
But if it were known beforehand that th'
successful candidate must get two-thrds
Grant could be beaten.
In conventions not run by machinery
where the people speak, and where th'
successful candidate is named under ou
rule, corrupt combinations are almost i'm
possible. We say Therefore; most emphatic
ally, let the Two-THIRDs RULE STAND.

Report of the Auditor General .


The report of the Auditor General for the
fiscal year ending November 80, 1879, was
made public on Tu day. 1t is the most
thorough and comprehensive document OF
the kind ever issued ircm the auditing de-
partmeEt of the State government, 1t gives
full details of the revenues and eXpendi-
lures of the State for the last fiscal year,
with statements showing the assessment OF
State tax in the several counties, with the
population and number OF taxable inhabi-
tants of each county, the several public
loans with rates of interest and when reim-
bursable and payable, the funded and un-
funded debt of the Commonwealth, and 9TH
er important fiscal statistics. In an append
ix are given the laws now in force relating
to the registration and taxation of corpora
tions, decisions on the corporation tax laws
by the Auditor General and Attorney Gen
eral during the year 1879, syllabus OF decis-
ions Of questions arising in connection with
the accounts of county officers, decisions OF
the Auditor General during the year 1879

the names of cities and boroughs paying
taxes on loans, letter of instructions of the
Auditor General to county commissioners,
rules for the settlement of accounts, list OF
taxable corporations and limited partner
ships registered under act of June !, 1879,
etc. The report also states that new corpo-
ration dockets have been opened, with names
of corporations alphabetically arranged, and
that system of bookkeeping has been
adopted by which every dollar of the re-
ceipts and expenditures of public moneys
can be readily traced
The receipts at the treasury during the
last fiscal year were s., ,422 ,363.9O, of which
amount S2,O3O,OO2 SO were the proceeds of
loans. The expenses of the state govern
ment during the same period were S3,597,-
1865. Loans were redeemed to the amount
of 81 ,GS4, 952 90 andSl, ,246, ,394,5 80 were paid
in interest on loans. The balance in the
treasury December | , 1879 was | ,9l4, ,S3l.32.
OF this balance tie sinking fund held 81 ,202,-
GAP. Is and the general fund S7l2,lS9,74.
The Auditor General expresses the opinion
that the act of June 7, 1879, will largely in
crease the revenues and that if the imposed
taxes under it are collected the deficiency
in the treasury will be covered as well as
the current expenses Of the government
Under the act of 1879 requiring all corpora
tions to register in the Auditor Generals
Office, about 400 have reported, Of which
3,392 are taxable. OF these there are l.G4l
domestic corporations, ISL foreign, $40
banks, State and National, 242 limited part
nerships and 9SS building and loan associa-
ti.ns.

People who have not forgotten the ready
submission of the entire Democratic party
of the country in 1877 to the Inauguration
of the minority candidate for the Presidency
will be slow to perceive the force of Senator
Conkling's declaration at the Utica conven
ton that it will be necessary TO have "a de-
eided unmistakable result" and "a man with
the country behind him" to prevent revou.
tionary plotters from setting aside the popu-
lar verdict at this years national election.
The "result' of the last Presidential contest
was by no means" decided and unmstakable"
certainly not in favor of Mr.. Hayes-and
yet the s to decree of the Electoral Com
mission was quietly accepted by the Demo
Gratis without the least menace of resistance
and in fact with hardly murmur of remon-
STRANGE Now, however. Mr.. Conkling insinu-
ates that the Republican candidate for Pres
ident, though clearly and unquestionably
elected next November, will need to be a
"strong man." with the people at his back,
to enable him to take his seat. The cogen-
cy of such logic is not entirely evident

Congressman YOcum Must Go.

Mr.. Springer having reported to tht
House the views of the majority of the COM
mittee on elections declaring in the con-
tested election case of Ex-Governor Curtin
against Yocum, that the election was null
and void and ought to be sent back to the
people, the Greenbackers are making des-
perate effort to defeat the report of the COM
mittee and save Yocum. The minority re-
port, declaring Mr.. Yocum entitled to his
seat, is signed by Mr., Calkins, of Indiana,
Republican. From present indications it
seems that the majority report will be
adopted, and Ex-Governor Curtin given an
other chance TO defeat Mr.. Yocum.

A Claiarvoyant's Failure.

The hamlet of Lackawaxen on the Deia-
ware River, about thirty miles from Port
Jeryis, was scene of great excitement
few days ago. On New Years Day, young
man named shannon, while at work on the
auueduct of the Delaware and Hudson "a
nal Company fell into the Delaware River
and was drowned All efforts to find the
body were unavailng. As a last resort the
brothers of the young man opened cores
pondence with clairvoyant in Port Jervis,
and he informed them that he could hnd the
body; but they must send him some gar
ment which the young man had worn and
which had not been washed. An old hat
was sent. The clairvoyant then informed
the brothers that the body was lying one
hundred and seve nty-iiye yards below the
aoueduc'. and fifteen feet from the shore.
1t was supposed that the clairvoyant had
never been to LackawaXen and his descrip-
ton OF the locality was thought to be so ac'
curate that it was conceded by many that he
was possessed of supernatural powers. A
search was made in the river but the body
was not found.
This did not seem to weaken the faith of
the brothers in the ability of the professor
to find the body. A few days ago, {. w
shannon one of the brothers visited Port
Jervs, aud by appointment met the clair
yoyant. and the latter agreed to find the
body for $50 This was agreed to. The next
day the clairyoyant and a companion went
TO Lpckawax N, and were met by an i'm
mense crowd Of people, who had been at
tracted to the river by the report that a
ciairyoyaut was coming to finl the body.
The "Proiessor' and his companion stepped
upon The ice, and soon the former was IL
Condition to be ia communication with the
supe natural He told the crowd that the
body was 20 feet up the river on line from
where he sat. The distance was measured
the ice cut, and search made in the water
but no lody was found.
Again he went off into the land of dream'
and while in this condition described the
scenes at the drowning, how the body hat
been carried around by the eddy and that i
was finally lodged directly beneath where
they sat. The crowd gave way, the ice wa
cut, the professor" and others peered dowr
into the water, but no body could be seen
| Another effort was made to discover the body
but without success. Just then a passenge
train was seen approaching the depot from
the west. The two men started on run fo
q it, and before the bewildered crowd coulC
I recover from its surprise, the clairvoyan
and his companion were whrled Port Jer
visward by the fast moving train. A NOR
indignant crowd than that deluded one i
would be hard to find.
