the Ice Breaks Up,
The Susquehauua river at Harrisburg
has been steadily rising all Wednesday,
but the ice has shown no signs OF a break
up TO p. N. The people in the lower
section OF the city are in great fear of
gorge.
APprehensions concerning . food at
WillamSport are subsiding, although
dispatches FROM up the river say it is still
raining. The ice gorge above Lock Haven
has brokcl and the head Of the jam has
moved down 10 the upper end OF Williams
port boom. The leo is on tue move for
miles up the river. The tioOd in the river
is now eight feet. The ice above the dam
is expected to 60 out during the night.
The danger Of inundatiOn which threat
ems Port Deposit, is uncertain, depending
entirely upon whether the ice in the river
passes quietly into tho Chesapeake bay
within day or two, or resists the pres.
sure OF water from above long enough to
dam the mouth of the Susquehanna. Tho
body OF the ice moved about ten feet Wed.

OF sOdity is threatening sign. The rail.
road company will keep their locomotives
fired up all night ready to move trains in
case of imminent danger. The water is
oaly about two feet above the ordinary
level.
The danger is that tho volumes of water
now pouring from tho miles of melting
snow and ice above will not continue to
have free egross into the bay. The move
ment Of single tide may determine the
result. II it breaks the sheet OF
ice, which now covers the river
at Port Deposit, and carries the loes
quietly away with It's ebb, there will
DO no flood, but, if the ice reslsts many
more tides and IL then broken by a sudden
swelling OF the river and iammed against
the distractions below Port Deposit, ruin
and disaster will follow. The ice is about
fifteen inches thick, stretching from shore
to shore in a solid sheet, a mile wide and

water rushes along over its surface con.
cealing 1t from view save at the banks.

THURSDAY EVENING, FEB. 7. 1884,
Isetter Men Needed.

Judge Yerkes, who has worthily sue
ceeded to the bench in Bucks county,
has been directing the attention OF the
grand Jury and the public there to the
Importance of the office of county audi
tor, which he informs them is not a
merely ministerial one, but place in
which the incumbent has to exercise
judicial functions. at is not enough
to audit bill because it has been paid
1t Is the auditors duty to know whether
it should have been paid or not and to
charge 1t against the disbursing officer
II 1t was paid unlawfully." The Office
corresponds with that of controller in
the municipal government, which has
been dgnified into one Of great import
ance as, for instance, in the case of Mr..
Pattison, who first gave it its real sig.
nificance in Philadelphia, and gained
much deserved credit for himself by in.
telligent and fearless administration of
it. Throughout the counties of the
state generally the Office has been a per-
fnnctory one, being bestowed most fire.
quently as petty party reward.
In this county for some years there
has been growing disposition to make
the audits audit, but partly for lack
Of capacity and partly from the lack of
proper motive the investigations have
not always been wisely directed, and
even well intentioned movements
against some existing abuses have not
uniformly commanded unqualified popu.
lar respect.
The present attitude of the auditors
In this county, in surcharging the COM
missioners with all payments made by
them, contrary to legal authority, is un.
doubtedly a correct one, leaving TO the
courts to decide whether the auditors
are right in their construction of the
law. The principal subject for COM
plant here has been the enormous sums
paid out as costs in dismissed
cases, in most of which the end:
of justice were abused and scan
dalized rather than subserved
These bills have been paid, it is to be
assumed, uniformly upon the approval
of the county solicitor, an official fol
whose selection the people and not the
commissioners are responsible. That he
has performed his duty in a slovenly and
incapable manner is very obvious, and
he will probably take refuge behind the
meagre salary paid as not sufficient to
Justify the rigorous examination that
would be necessary 10 test the correct
ness of every bill of costs presented.
The whole system, or the abuse tC
which our system of county administra
tion is subjected, demonstrates the need
of an entirely different kind of men in
the local offices. The overwhelming Re.
publican majority in this county has
tempted that party to the utter subordi'
nation of public interests to personal and
factiOnal advantages in filling the county
offices. The resdlt is vicious admins
tratlon Of public affairs. No laws can
be made that will make unfit men capa
bic officials, or which will check the
rapacity of the dishonest; but once
public attention is fully aroused to the
Importance of an office there is some
hope that men may be selected to square
with the place.

The question Resolved that the
establishment of a whipping post by law
for the punishment OF criminals would be
beneficial to the mo.als of tho community
and the welfare Of society," was adopted
for discussion at the next meeting (Mon.
day evening, Feb. II, lsSl) Of the Stras.
burg literary association.
10 modest and refined ears this NAV
sound harshly and in this present enlight.
ened age it may be taken rs a spirit of
brutality aud barbarsm in the punishment
OF wrong doing but when it is considered
that the criminal in very many instances
Is moved only by brutal passions and
instincts in utter disregard of all the
entrelties Of parental, moral or religious
instruction, /. would seem tho most ade
qulte punishment and tho only defence
that an injured, enlightened community
can adopt.
1t is is au old alage which says, " II a
man will not hear he must be made to
feel" And it is demOustrably and sadly
true that many men in this enlightened
and Christian age are susceptible Of no
feeling bat that Of physical pain or, if
they have any such sense they wiIIfuIly
ignore and disregard it. There are men
who allow themselves to bo prompted
and guided alone by the most degrading
brutal passions-aDd boast IN them,
whether aroused by temporary exotauts
or by criminal indulgence. Their delight
seems 10 culminate in the iuhiction of
cruelty upon their fellow mau aud in the
satiating of their bIoodthirsty vengeance
at the most trivial Oiiense.
Such men are incapable Of reformation
by human, moral or intellectual process;
they have no regard or fear for prison
bolts or bars, even if they could be sub
jected to them. The only remedy for the
cure of such moral dcpravity is the
prompt, certain aud sure infliction OF
bodily suffering and disgrace. And such
is the whipping post. DEFENCE.
