LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.


From our Regular Correspondent
WAsuINGroN, d. c.. April %, 1851.
don't know what has produced such
an effect, but it seems to be settled that
nearly every Republican Senator will
next week vote to 60 on with executive
business or reject Presidential
nominations, consider treaties, etc. Sug
gestions had been made by them to
Democratic Senators for some time that
part OF each day might be devoted to
that branch of business, and the rcst to
Gorham and Riddleberger, but the
Democrats had scnsibly refused TO make
any such bargain. So there will be a
Republican caucus next week, and there
is not much doubt that it will then be
determined to 60 to work. The Judi
cial Committee has already been called
by Senator Edmunds to consider nomi.
nations before it. OF these the most
important are those OF Stanley Mat.
thews FOR the Supreme Court, and VIM.
f. Chandler, for Solicitor General Of the
United States. Both OF them will be
vigorously opposed. and believe
Chandler, at least. will be defeated
No Democrat will vote to confirm him
Senator Conkling has not called the
committee on commerce, Of which he
is chairman, and go there will be no
early action in the case Of Robertson.
Troubles inside the Republican party
are not confined to unpopular nomina
tions, however. Removals threaten TO
do full as much damage. Some OF the
changes in the Post office Department,
foreto!d by me in recent letter, were
made yesterday, and were made in such
a way As TO reflect not only on some Of
the displaced officers but to leave an
impression that the department has
been ineiliciently If not corruptly man.
aged for many years. The evil man
agement now alleged must have existed
under Jewell, Key, and Maynard that
IS if il really ever has existed. on this
last point very influential Republicans
take issue with the administration. and
say that the changes made now arc only
to give the administration standing in
the matter OF reform. There is evident.
ly a very bitter fight ahead in this con.
nee ion.
Other departments will be reorganized
as soon Ss tho Senate is in working
order.
confess to much surprise at the
making Of a violent sectional speech by
Senator Frye the other day. There is
no explanation of it except that he is
making a bold attempt to secure leader.

OUR PRINCIPLES,

At the very foundation Of our un.
dertaking in Bellefonte is the One
Price system.
Respectable merchants generally
have but One Price for most goods,
but the temptation to make excep-
tons now and then proves too strong
for all, but very few.
Here the rule is absolute. We are
so committed to the OSE PRICE sys-
tenn that an exception in any depart
ment, no matter how great the tempta-
ton, would disgrace us.
One Price, if stuck to, has to be q
moderate price, a fair price. Let that
be your assurance in your dealings
with the Bee Hive Stores.

Tive Farmers Fall out, and one
shoots the other Twice.
A farmer by tho name of Clayton was
shot, and it is believed MORALLY wounded,
by j. Pearson, six miles southwest of Ksuf-
man, yesterday morning. They are both
farmers and their places join. From what
could be CLEANED by HERALD reporter from
parties who arrived last evening from Kauf.
man, it appears that Clayton rented lot, in
which was located a pool. Pearson had
been in the habit of watering his stock there,
and after no had rented il
Clayton objected to his doing so
any longer. This caused hard
feelings and q quarrel eDsued which resulted
10 Pearson shooting Clayton twice with q
pistol, one of the shots taking effect in the
small OF his back and tho other in one Of bis
shoulders. After the shooting Pearson
mounted his horse and galoped away. The
officers went in pursuit. Both are men Of
family and have heretofore been regarded 81
good peaceable citizens.

to be seven competitors, and after seVetzi

is was announced that the commissioners hsd
determined on the adoption OF Nc A Brown

Of thirty thousand dollsrs. Now
If Mr. Brownlee's plans were
scoepted and al right, why is il that it hiss
been found convenient for some OF the COM

done in the start. But TO travel over the
state even st the expense Of Mr.. Brownlec,
to see other jail constructions, and. give MIR.
Brownlee the benefit of il, is 10 fair thing to

A letter was received st ihs sheiti's oifse
yesterday morning from II 81. John, Of
Woodbury., Tennessee, making inquiries of
8 young girl named Fannie Smithson, who
was kidnapped by msn by the name foo
james Tucker, who has since been arrested
and lodged 10 isil a, that place. Ga tho 25'h
of last April Tucker, who iss married man

grave suspicious have been entertained by
the officers of Woodbury. that he has made
away with the girl in some way or deserted

the impression that he would return to her.
Miss Smithson was only about fourteen
years old, though well developed for one of

brownish blae eyes and dark hair and a
rather good looking girl. of pleasing man

The Cotton Crop

Captain W. w. Ross, the official re-
porter for the agricultural bureau at WASH
ington city, has just completed compiling his
sta,istics of the cotton crop for Dallas coun-
ty and it does not make very good shcw-
ing. He attributes the failure Of the crop
to tho excessive rains that fell in the month
Of May which prevented the crop from be-
ing worked, and the consequence was
that it wss taken by the weeds. Then
came the long droutb, which ruined the
crops. The staple is short but the class Is
