On Saturday An elor

near Lackswaxen Pa, . despatch says
the excitement was great in all that
section. sit was John Reynolds, q
wealthy drover that eloped with the
wife Of William A. Gladstonejs poor
man, each leaving behind children
aged about four years. Reynolds, pre-
vious to his departure with Mrs. Glad
stone, transferred sll his property into
other hands and raised all the money
be could upon it. His wife and child
are thus left absolutely penniless.
Mrs. Gladstone, it appears, secured
all the money her husband had saved
by frugality in several years, quite a
considerable sum. She left home say
ing that she was going to visit her faith
er and mother Cor . few days. She
met her paramour On the train and to-
getber they went West. Both Mrs.
Reynolds and Mr.. Gladstone will at
once commence actions for divorce and

ing her money and fine clothes. This

The bill for the re-districting of the
State into judicial districts has passed
the Legislature, and awaits the sigma
ture of the Governor The express
sions of dissatisfaction against the
bill, is, that it connects counties Judi
cially that are not connected with
each other by boundary lines com-
ties are united under a Judge that
have other counties lying between,
Another objection is that the num-
Der of judges have been increased.
Those persons that favor legislation
such as the bill just mentioned justify
it under the plea that the Constitu-
ton of the State permits it. The
adoption of the new Constitution
as a whole, the way in which it
was presented to the people by the
convention that framed it, was mis-
take. There are good features in the
new document, but there are so many
Objectionable ones that it should be
amended. The great good feature in
it, is, that it prevents precipitate leg
islation; but that might have been
had without connecting with it the
useless multiplicity of judicial dis
tricts, and Legislative districts. The
new Constitution has too many
clauses in it that opens the door for
leech legislation that is sucking up
the revenues of the Commonwealth.
Corporate, mining and manufacturing
interests pay the great bulk of the
State tax. The general public pay ii
back on freight, and additional cost
on the articles they consume, and in
that way their earnings are absorbed
1t is not always necessary for State
to resort to direct taxation to reach
the financial vitals of a people 1t
may be done indirectly, by a multi
plicity of officers that are paid out OF
the Commonwealth Treasury, which
may get its money from railroad tax,
corporation tax, tax on manufac-
tories, &c, which does not impress
the populace as direct tax does Ii
the new Constitution is such fertile
source for the multiplicity of offices
that are of no use, unless, indeed, il
is to consume the revenues of the in
dustry of the country, then it were
best to amend the Constitution.

alton of Philadelphia are placing the

A BosroN preacher, who has been
out West, visiting large farms, writes
as follows to Boston paper: Men
talk of 10000, 10000 and $4,000
acres of land without any realization
of the extent of such an acreage. L
visited the other day ranch of 90
900 acres. l intended to make thor
ough survey of it-that is, to ride
around it and ride across 1t. l made
my survey, but when 1 learned that
the fence which enclosed it was over
seventy miles in length 1 concluded
that 1 would inspect it by sections.
/ did considerable riding in two days,
nevertheless, but didn ride around
it. On the ranch there were 1900
acres all under the plow, one bit of
land nearly as level as floor, a par
alellogram in shape, and the furrow
which the plow cut in traversing from
one end to the other was three miles
in straight line. 1t is only after
one has visited such an estate and
devoted days in riding over it that he
realizes what 10000 acres of land is"

A RoYALIsT from across the sea
writing of the unpleasantness that
has arisen between the President Of
the United States and Senator's or
the question of appointing men to
Office, says that "the fact that the
large majority of the American peo-
pie turned hastily to support Presi-
dent Garfield as the chief power in
the land to make appointments is a
certain indication OF the natural bent
of the human mind in favor OF q
kingly form of government it is q
natural, spontaneous manifestation
in favor of one man power.
The foreign Interpretation of the
acts of the people of this country in
supporting President Garfield as
against the Senators in the distribu-
ton of the Offices is a novel one, and
is worthy of consideration There is
another view, which the Royalists
have not taken, or seen if they
have, they are silent ON that point,
and that is, that the rally of the peo-
pie to the support of the President
is an indication of their disinclina-
ton to have the affairs of State ped
died out by men in the respective
States, when the President does not
approve of the men recommended.
The foreign view of the siding of the
people with the President, does not
impress Americans as correct 1t is
well enough, however, to analize it,
which may be done by each member
of the Republic. Americans inter
pref their own action land they should
know best what handspring or motive
governs them) to mean that they are
In favor of the fulfillment of the Con
stitution that provides for the ap-
pointment to Office by the President,
and a confirmation by the Senate A
commission to office must have dou-
ble endorsement, that of the Presi
dent and that of the Senate. The
people came to the support of the
President because an effort was made
through caucus enactment of Sena-
tors to obstruct the harmonious OPP
Grafton of the method of appoint
ment as provided by the Constitu-
ton. 1t was not spontaneous up
rising, or manifestation in favor of
Kingly rule 1t was no more so, than
the act of the Senators in caucus was
a manifestation of State Rights, or a
manifestation of the natural spirit
that underlies the ruling of e govern
ment by Mobiles. The subject, in all
of its bearings, is worthy of atten-
tion and study.

A PIUTE Indian squaw was -execu-
ted, some days ago, by her tribe, for
the practice of witchcraft 1t is not
long since the New England Yankees
executed a number of people for the
alledged practice of witchcraft, and
the president of New England Col
lege issued a pamphlet in defence of
the executions, on the ground that
the manifestations as alleged against
the accused were the work of real
witches and wizards With such a
record it becomes New England peo-
pie to say as little as possible about
the execution of the Piute squaw.
