Cons tuition al A mend ent.

Mr. EDITOR "A convention was
held in Franklin, Venango county, Pa,
January Oath, the object of which was
to promote the movement in favor of
constitutional amendment, prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquors. The call for it was signed by
many leading members of the different
political parties, and the request was
made that three delegates of each OF
these parties should be sent by each
township. This cali was generally re-
sponded to and the meeting was large
and enthusiastic The convention, by
resolution, expressed it's approval OF
the plan of securing the election of a
legislature in the interest of temperance,
through the present political parties
| and directed its executive committee to
appoint certain Of their number to meet
with tbe different political organizations
of the county in 1882, and ask them to
| declare themselves in favor of the con-
stitutional amendment mentioned, and
to nominate only thorough temperance
men for the Senate and House of Rep
resentstives. The members of the con-
vention also pledged themselves not to
vote or use their influence for any man
or candidate for any State Office, or for
the legislature, whose record and char
acter are not pledge that he VIII
favor the submission Of the amendment
to vote of the people.
Ny object in writing now is to in
quire whether any similar movement
il under contemplation in Butler coun-
ty, and if not, whether you do not
| think such convention might be held,
with profit, in Butler | am making
the same inquiry OF the other editors OF
the town. Hundreds Of voters in the
county, Of different political parties,
would rejoice, | am sure, to take part
in such a movement The Importance
of the subject is emphasized by some
recent events recorded in your paper.
Judge Agnew could likely be secur-
ed as speaker for the occasion. lie
would haze been at the meeting in
Franklin, but bis voice had failed, on
account of cold, so that he could not
have spoken if he had been there.
Yours, INQUIRER.
I'VE are, and have been, in favor Of
the constitutional amendment move
ment, as the only one that can reach,
to the extent necessary 10 secure the
community from the evils of intemper-
ance. For long time we have had
no faith in what were known as tenn
perance pledges or meetings, and be-
lieve that nothing but the strong arm
of Ian can govern that question. A
constitutional amendment would be
the highest and most permanent law
that could be obtained on the subject
and, therefore, We have favored that
remedy. We are not aware OF any
movement at present being made in
this county, but presume there will be
IN time, and for the objects suggested
by the writer of the above. Conven-
tions, we notice, have been held in 9th
er counties Of the State, favoring a
submission to the people of the ques-
tion, and for the interrogation OF legis-
lative candidates, etc.-ED.

This shows that your conscience warned you
against it. but, by the wretched sophisty of
your own mind, you worked yourself up
against the protest of your own conscience.
Your own testimony seems to coltrOvert the
theories of your counsel. They have maintained,
aud thought honestly, i believe, that you were
driven against your will by an insane impulse
to commit the act, but your testimony showed
that you deliberately resolved to do 1t, and that
a deliberate and misguided will was the sole i'm
pulse. This may seem insanity to some per-
sons, but the law looks upon it as wilful
crime.
You will have due opportunity of having
any error | may have committed during the
course of the trial passed upon by the Court in
banc; but meanwhile it is necessary for me TO
pronounce the sentence of the law-that you be
taken hence TO the common Jail of the District,
from whence you came, and there be kept In
confinement and on Friday, the 30th day of
June, 1882, you be taken to the place prepared
for the execution within the walls of
said Jail, and there between the hours of 12 NJ.
and p VI. you be hanged by the neck until
you are dead; and may the Lord have mercy
on your soul
GUITEAU's PARTING OUTBREAK.
During the reading Guiteau stood
apparently qnmoved and with his gaze
riVeted upon the Judge, but when the
final words were spoken be struck the
table violently and shouted: And

I'd ather stand where | do than where
the Jury does and where your Honor
does. I'm not afraid to die. stand
here as Gods man. and God Almighty
will curse eYely man who mas had q
part in procuring this unrighteous ver-
diet. Nothing but good has come
from Garfeld's removal, and that will
be the verdict of the posterity on my
inspiration | don't care a snap for

able scoundrel Corkhlll will have per-

After apparently talking himself out,

without the slightest trace of excite
ment conversed for some minutes be-
fore being takeR from the eoNrt FonM
The van in which Guiteau was ia ken
from the courthouse to the jail reached

He was taken at once to his cell and

The jail officials, however, do not be-

case by the Court in banc.

ANOTHER step has been taken in the
Guitesu case. The motion made for q
new trial for him was over-ruled by
Judge Cox on last Saturday, who then
sentenced him to be hung on the 30th
day Of June. The defense have the
right, until March !, to take an appeal
to what 10 known as the Court in Banc
Of the district, composed of all the
judges Of the criminal courts Of the dis
trict. This appeal will probably be
heard in three or four weeks from this
time, but no one dreams Of any revers-
81 Of any Of the proceedings. July I'd,
it Is said, would have been fixed for
the day of execution did not that day
fall upon Sunday this year. AS it is
June 80 was selected. This date is
far enough in advance to give the con-
demned every legal right yet remain
ing, and therefore will not likely need
to be changed.

A NEW phase is given TO the Nor
mon question by q public statement
just made. that the Mormon church re-
pudiates polygamy. Representatives
Of the church declare that polygamy is
no part Of the religion Of their church,
and that the crime is kept mp outside
Of the church. Religion being divested
from the question ought to make it an ea-
sy subject for Congress to speedily legis-
late itout ofexistance. Meetings have
recently beer. held IN various parts OF
the country asking Of congress to
pass the bill now before it on the sub
ject. Members of the Mormon church
now say they are in favor of its passage,
and this stain upon the nation will
probably soon be wiped out, and pass
away, with its twin relic" slavery.

THE MOST DURABLE, MOST
RAPID. AND DECIDEDLY THE
CHEAPEST ROCK REDUCER IN
THE WORLD.

The operation of the Machine will be un.
derstood by referring to the following:
When hard rock is crushed, it is broken to
the required size las in the case OF other ROCK
Breakers or ReduceTs), and fed in between the
Jaws, and the lower part of the jaw is adjusted
by means of four set screws, to close the open
ing between the jaws 10 the size to which the
rock is to be pulverized, the top of the jaw be-
ing left to incline back, or it may be necessary
to incline the same forward to prevent the
quartz from glancing or sliding on the shoe.
The leverjaw is being rapidly vibrated by
the crank-shaft which operates the friction
roll. 1t will be seen that the lower part of the
face of the shoe moves concentrically with the
main shaft and pivot, but the degree of i'm
pingement to which the quartz is subjected,
is regulated by adjusting the back jaw by
means of the set screws, forward or back, there
by regulating the angle of contact with the
quartz to a ~glancing or angular force, instead
of direct perpendicular foree-which is seldom
sufficient to produce any cutting or perceptible
wear or disintegration of the iron of which
the shoe is composed.
The wear of the shoe is of a slow, securing
nature, and the shoe will last to crnsh ten
times as much hard quartz as can be crushede
by the shoe Of any other Crusher.
When ~decomposed or soft quartz, or other
soft vein-matter, is crushed, the upper portion
of the Jaw is set forward, so as to allow a more
direct pressure and crushing force to be
brought to bear upon the larger Jumps OF soft
material. thereby gripping the same: but as 1t
is crumbled and reduced the small hard Jumps
that are found in nearly all decomposed quartz
and vein matter, are subjected to the glanclng
| force of the lower part of the shoe. which
moves concentrically with the axis, thereby
| sculling or c~leaving, instead of crushing by a
direct or perpendicular pressure.
AS the whole machine can, without diff
| Guilty, be taken apart in eight different pieces,
it can with the greatest facility be trans
ported to any mining district, and, by its de-
cided advantage over all similar machines,
and its unsurpassed cheapness, it will supply
a want long felt among Mine and Mill Owners
| in oil psrtS of fhe country.
