REMOVAL OF THE STATE
CAPITOL.

The editor of the Clinton Democrat
gives our views exactly upon this dis
turbing question as follows; "The
Philadelphia members have again Of
tered bills in the Legislature to re.
move the State Capitol from Harris.
burg to that city. The greed display.
ed by Philadelphia in its attempts to
despoil an interior city Of an adyan.
tage and honor so trilihg, can scarcely
be regarded as generous, and this is
about all that there is in il for that
city. That the Capitol OF so large Il
State as Pennsylvania should be loca.
ted on the extreme border--in Il hole
at one cnd--smacks strongly Of the ab-
surd, and when il is brought to mind
that that hole is the most corrupt spot
in the State, the proposition becomes
fruitful Of suggestion that the welfare
of the people is endangered.
"The experience Of Constitutional
Conventions that sat in that city is
that no good is derived from the cir
cumstance Of being located there, that
debauchery is increased, and that the
various allurements Of large city
render it difficult TO assemble or keep
q quorum together. Sessions there
would prove first. class nuisances to all
members desirous of attending faith.
fully to public business and despatch.
ing 1t with industry and certainty In
fact the Capitol is too near Philadel-
phia already, and the brothels and
gambling dens OF the great city are even
now too strong an alurement for too
many members away from the whole
some restraint of home influences. To
remove the State officials and their
battalions of clerks and understrap-
pers to very sink of pollution, where
not even a fair election can he held or
political rascal punished, would be
to invite official corruption aud to in
sure it against punishment"

A SIDE SHow.-The Senatorial con.
test at Harrisburg shows pretty clearly
how far the factional quarrel in our
State goes. Then again the removal
OF Rutan, Collector at Pittsburgh, in.
dicates that Hayes has been drawn
into the fight. The Philadelphia
Times, ia alluding to the matter, says /:
president Hayes has tho honor of
the first knock down 10 the Pennsyl.
vania Senatorial fight. Surveyor Ru.
tan, Of Pittsburgh, is the frstlieutenant
Of Cameron in the West, aRd HAYES
yesterday Jid his part in turning Ru
tan out Of Office and power, by nomi.
mating John +. bravo for the Survey.
orship, and be did II in tho face of the
most overwhelming recommendation
in favor Of Rutan. Congressman
Bayne, Of Allegheny, had Senatorial
aspirations, and when Oliver ran away
with the Allegheny delegation Bayne
carried the war to Washington, took
Dravo to the President, denounced Ru
tan as a machine man and perfdious to
civil service reform, and demanded Ru.
tan's place for Dravo. Sherman stood
by Rutan, but Hayes took the last
guess himself and he yesterday nomi
mated Dravo as Rutan's successor, thus
slaugbtering one OF Cameron's corps
commanders in the midst of the fight.
1t is manifest and intentional knock.
down for Hayes in the Senatorial fight,
but Cameron will be likely to win the
first blood in the Senate by holding
the confirmation over until about the
9th of March"

NURSE YoUR BABY-Senator Vest
of Missouri, displayed some true grit q
few days ago, by rising in the Senate
at Washington and making some sen.
sible remarks against the Grant pen.

"NoT PANINd OUT.'-The would-be
Senator Oliver, who has been driving
political campaign at Harrisburg for
the past four weeks as vigorously as
he ever pushed any business, must
have learned that the thing does not
pay as well as Pittsburgh iron works,
if he pays any attention to the income
and outgo of his cash account.

A CoSrRAsT.--Tho new year is not
a happy one for the Rhode Island
weavers at the Perry mills in New.
port, whose wages were reduced by
the mill owners. To this the weavers
refused to submit, and now the doors
of the mill are closed. The contrasts
in life might well be illustrated by q
picture Of Newport in summer, filed
with the pageants and pleasures of the
rich visitors, and Newport in an ex.
ceptionally hard winter, as it appears
10 these weayers.

On the evening Of December 81, 1875, party
Of citizens, numbering abou, thirty, paradod tn o
streets Of Norristown most Of them we're drunk
About o'clock NJ. they procured small can
non, and discharged It several times. About .
O'Clock the party reached Main street, Norris
town, and commenced firing AZ this point
Alice Fitzpatrick, girl ssvcntson years Of age.
vas crossing the street, and tho vad FROM the
cannon struck her IN the face, totally destroying
one eye and causing dishgurment Of one side Of
her face. A verdict on the facts wa. gives in her
favor for $500. The question Of law wa, ieft
to the Court as to whether the borough was liable
for the negligence Of It's policemen, one Of them
having stood by and witnessed the firing without
interfering to stop Il. The Court below decided
10 favor Of Miss Fitzpatrick.
The Supreme Court reverses the Court Below.
and Justles Gordon 10 his opinion says that mu.
inequalities are not responsible for the acts q
their police ofhcer,, but that the officer s person
ally responsible for his own mislemeanors. Each
Of the parties were undoubtedly responsible for
any damage done by them, but there Is no law ,
except special statute, By which a municipality
OF corporation can be held for damage, cau,ed by
a mob. The difference between those cases in
which cities, boroughs AID tosn,hipi have bee
held responsible for neglec, and the one In hand
isverylvide Themaintenancc and repair Of high
ways, sewers, whafves, ETC., belong to their Imme
diate Jurisdiction, and over them they alone have
control, hence their responsibility. But the con-
'erva,ion Of the peaeeisa great public duty, put
by the Commonwealth into the hands Of public
oiheers-Judgss, Justices Of the Peace and May.

Too TRUE.-An exchange remarks
"No are glad that Conger, il a clown,
is a respectable man in comparison
with Chandler or Christiancy. He has
q true, devoted wife and is free from
vices that have destroyed his prede.
oessors 10 the Senate of the United
States from Michigan during the past
quarter Of q century"

A CHEAP CANALLER.-It now turns
out that Congressman Loring wrote
Grants Canal article in the last North
American Rcpielo. How dog cheapl
We suspected, when we read the arti,

document. The fraud should have
been kept q secret.

SOMEBODY HIT.-The Christian Id.
Uocate feel called upon to rise in meet
ing and remark
We hAvea right to expect thatthe home Of our
Chief Magistrate will be marked by Christian
sobriety for four years to come A. II has been for
four years past.
What Docs the Christian Aduocatc
mean to insinuate that the White
House was not marked by christian
sobriety" during the eight years OF
Gen. Grants ADMINISTRATION Really,
this is too bad. What will Parson
Newman say i-BellefoHte Watchmdn.

An INDEx.-Tho present situation of
affairs in ireland is but a picture of
what the United States will be some

lots, and millions raised to corrupt
elections are but the forcrunners of
class legislation and caste divisions.

A Position AT LAsT.-General Grant
has tried awfully hard to be President
of something worth while; but he has
only succeeded in regularly missing it
every time. And now to think that
the poor old man has had to take up

Exhibition Company All, Republics
are ungrateful, and no mistake

MAGNANIMITY,-The Harrisburg
"ioppers' have presented the Cameron
ring men the names of no less than a.

are ready to vote for Bayne, Wolf
McYeagh, Stewart, etc. but the Cam
eronites don't nibble at this bait. The
Oliver men act like Bourbons.
