The champion bigsmist in this coun-
thy is DR.. VIM. H. Boyd, who is now in
prison in Arkansas, charged with horse
stealing. He confessed the other day to
tie Sheriff with whom he boards that
he had been married to eleUen women,
and made out list which shows that
bis selections were r7ade from six differ
ent States and Territories He is
strengthened in the hope that he may
be convicted as q horse thief, and that
he will not be tried for bigamy. He
began the marrying business in 1868 at
Staunton, Va, Mary J. Hunter being
his first victim, and from 1874 to July,
1885, has averaged one wife per annum,
except that in 1888 he was married
twice in Arkansas. His last dupe was
Josephine NJ. Eals, of Texas, in July,
1885. If he hadn't been arrested as a
horse thief and could have kept straight
on in the marrying line, as he no doubt
would have done, he would have bagged
his tlgelfth wife before the present year
expires.

AS LONG as Congress refuses to sub
NIT to the different States a Constitu-
tionsl amendment empowering the
President to veto obiectional clauses in
an appropriation bill while be approves
of others, the country will annually be
ssddled with 3 corrupt and log-rollihg
River and Harbor bill which literally
robs the treasury of many hundred
thousand dollars for the mere purpose
Of enabling Congressman to make them
selves popular with their constituents.
There are improvements of rivers and
harbors which are of vast national i'm
portAnce aud require the passage Of an
annual appropriation for that purpose.
II the bill stopped at that there would
be no wrongful appropriation and no
complaint. The bill, however, never
stops there, but is always honey com bed
with large gifts of money for the most
useless and indsfensible purposes, thus
compelling the President to approve it
as whole or veto it, the latter course
having been very rarely adopted.

THE Mexican soldiers pension bill
passed the lower branch of Congress on
Monday last by a vote of 158 yeas, 10 6S
nays. The bill consists of only two sec
tions and is Of the most sweeping char
acter. The first section directs the Sec
retary of the Interior to place the names
Of all surviving officers, soldiers and
sailors who enlisted and served in the
war with Mexico for any period during
the years of 1S45, 1916, 1847 and 194S,
and were honorsbly discharged, and
their surviving widows, on che pension
roll at the rate of g per month, from
and after the passage of the act,
during their lives. The second section
directs the Secretary to make such
rules and regulations as may be neces-
sary to carry the act into effect, with a
proviso that the act shall not apply to
persons under political disabilities.

DISREGARD Of a notice from a drink
ing mans wife not to sell him any
liquor has cost a Pittsburg saloon keep
er $500, a jury ten days ago having al
lowed the woman damages for that
amount, the highest sum permitted by
the Act of Assembly. This is said to be
the first action brought in this State un-
der the law Of 1875, fixing a penalty for
such sale of liquor after notice not to do
80. AS the Philadelphia Times in re-
ferring to this case remarks VERY
little new liquor legislation would be
really needed in this State if the old
liquor legislation were firmly and i'm
partially enforced"

Mas. HUTTER, who, for many years,
has been the female inspector of the
Soldiers Orphans Schools, is the wild
ow, we believe, of w. W. Hutter, who
was the editor Of a lively Democratic
paper at Harrisburg when David r.
Porter was Governor. At that time
Thaddeus Stevens lived in Gettysburg,
and the conspicuous part he played in
.he memorable "Buekshot War" was
fresh in the recollection of the Demo-
Gratis in every nook and corner of the
State. Hutter, who was an exception
ally able newspaper writer, and hated
Stevens with all his might and all his
soul, published some very bitter attacks
I in his paper upon him, for one of which
. Stevens indicted him for libel in Adams
/ county, where the paper had a consider
able circulation. When the case was
called in Court and jury selected Hut
ter's lawyer handed to the Judge pre-
yious pardon issued by the Governor to
HutteT an hour or so before the latter
left Harrisburg for Gettysburg. OF
course the case ended then and there
much to the chagrin and modification
of Stevens and Hutter returned to Har-
risburg. We have personal knowledge
of another previous pardon issued by
the same Governor two or three years
! afterwards. a we'll known citizen oi
j Blair county, cow deceased, but who al
| the time spoken of lived in Bedford
| and was devoted personal and politi-
9 cal friend of Gov. Porter, was required
through his connection with a stag
line from Shippensburg to Baltimore t.
8 make the former place his tempOrar,
= residence. During hot political cam
J. paign the editor of the local RepublicaI
e paper made a savage personal attack i
It his journal upen the gentleman Ieferre
e to. for which the latter publicly cOwh
5. 6ed him in the street of the town. Th
ID editor had him arrested and bound owe
TO court for assault and battery; en-
ploved three Of the best lawyers at tt

A LAD was crossing the fields in the coun-
try. some distance from any dwelling, when
he was pursued by a large and fierce dog
belonging to the gentleman whose land he
was crossing. The lad was alarmed and
ran for his life. He struck into a piece of
woods and the dog gained on him, when he
looked around to see how near the creature
was, and, tumblinR over stone, he pitched
over a preciDice and broke his leg. Unable
to move, and at the mercy of the Deast, the
poor fellow saw the dog coming down upon
him, and expected to be seized aud torn,
when, TO his surprise, the dog came near,
and, peTCeiving the boy was hurt, instantly
wheeled about and went for that AID which
he could not render himself. There was no
one within reach of the child's voice, and he
must have perished there or have dragged
bis broken limb along and destroyed it, so
as to lender amputatiOn necessary, il the
dog had not brought help. The dog went
of to the nearest house and baTked for help.
Not receiving attention, he made another
visit of sympathy to the boy, and then to
the house, there making such demOnstra-
tiOns of anxiety that the family followed
him to the place where the child lay.

THE great strike on GOuld's South
western Railways instead of having
been adjusted by arbitration last week,
as there vas every prospect that it
would be, was put beyond the reach of
a settlement two days after the confer
ence in New York between Gould and
Powderly, by Gould's railroad manager
at st. Louis, Mr.. Hoxie, who refused
to either arbitrate or to take back into
his employ more than about One-thiId
of the striking knights of Labor, their
demand being that he must Teinstate
all. The situation was rendered still
more complicated on Saturday morning
by few of the strikers in ambush fiji
ing on a freight train strongly guarded
two miles from Fort Worth, Texas,
1 killing one OF two of the guard and Sc
/ riously wOunding several others. The
Governor of Texas has sent strong
| military force to Fort Worth and the
running of the trains at that point has
not since been interfered with. The
/ trains, however, are not manned by the
Knights of Labor as they were before
the strike, but by other employees whC
have taken their places. The Knight!
have issued bitter manifesto agains
Gould's duplicity in agreeing, as the!
allege, with Powderly to aTbitrste tht
dispute and then through Manager
Hoxie refusing to do so. Everything
was quiet along the different roads oil
Tuesday, and traffic was unimpeded
but the knights of Labor have been lef
out in the cold, and their last Saturday
armed attack Oh the train near Ft
Worth has seriously damaged thei
cause. Mr.. 2owderly himself has neve
approved of the strike from the begin
ming, but has pronounced it as impoli
tic, unnecessary, and without any jus
tihcation. The presumption is yer.
strong that the strike could have beel
adjusted right after it took place,
wisdom and prudence had governed th
leaders OF the Knights Of Labor organi
zation who were on the ground and IN
deTtOOk to manage their side of the dis
pute.

WITHOUT assuming to dictate to :he
County Com mittee. we have a few
words to say in reference to the time to
be fixed at its meeting on Monday next
for holding the Democratic primary
election. The Democratic State Con-
vention will not meet at Harrisburg
until the 18th of August, more than
four months after the meeting of the
Committee on next Monday, and as one
OF the most important duties of the re-
turn judges of the primary election will
be the selection of four delegates from
this county to the State Convention, it
seems to us that sound party policy and
the convenience of the voters will be
best promoted by fixing the date of the
primaries not earlier than the middle or
latter part Of July. They have been
usually held sometime in June, which is
at least month earlier than they ought
to have been held, fol reasons that will
readily suggest themselves to every one
who resides in the country and has farm
work to do. Besides this, it is not good
party tactics to put County ticket in
the field .tiUe months before the Novem-
beI election, fol the reason that 1t might
enable the opposition to form combina-
tions which it would be unable to do
under different circumstances. A cam
paign of three months, or thereabouts,
between the primary election and the
I'd of November, is surely long enough
to enable every man on the ticket to get
out OF his candidacy all that is in it.
Let the campaign be short and sharp.
These are our views briefly stated in re-
gard to the matter, and are suggested
to the County Committee for what they
are worth.

Mississippi's Disgrace.

It is very satisfactory TO have the as
surance of Jackson, Miss. correspond
en-. of the New York World that there
is a universal condemnation felt in that
capital and throughout the State over
the recent slaughter of negroes at Car
rolltOn. While it is generally admit
ted that they we're bad lot and helped
by their misconduct to bring their fate
upon themselves, a creditable public SEN
timent calls for the punishment of their
atTocious murder.
It is not so satisfactory to learn that
''no warrants have been sworn out and
no arrests made ; no action has been
taken by the State authorities looking
to ferTeting out and bringing the muir
derers to Justice" No commonwealth
or community can afford to let such
crimes go unpunished. nor will Missis-
sippi fail to suffer ineradicable disgrace
/ if these murderers go free.
/ But there is nothing in the circum-
/ stances to warrant Federal interference;
nothing for the President or Attorney
General to take cog1iZance Of; as 1t is
reported they have been considering.
. The CaTTOlltOn massacre, like the recent
lvnchings in New Jersey, Ohio and In
| diana, like the Molly Mcguire troubles
| in Pennsylvania, and various other
State disturbances, was a domestic af
fair. exclusively for the State to dea
with and to it alone must attach The
responsibility and credit OF disgrace, &C
cOrdingly as it meets or shirks its duty

SOME time ago the Augustinian Soci-
ETY. of Lawrence. Mass, a church or
ganization which received deposits of
parishioners, collapsed, and the deposi-
tors lost over $500, 900. One of the ag-
grieved parties brought a test suit
against Archbishop Williams, Of Bos-
ton, the spiritual chief of the Lawrence
pastor. The argument was that pas
tor of Roman Catholic church exer-
cises in regard to the church over which
he is placed only the delegated author
ity OF the Bishop and acts only as an
agent of the Bishop, and therefore that
those transactions are to be regarded as
made by the Bishop himself. The Mas
saehusetts Supreme Court has just de-
cided against the plaintiff, declaring
that in order to charge the defendant il
must be shown that he is liable on the
contract. 1t is not sufficient that no
one else is pTOmisOT in it. The evi-
dence was not sufficient to hold the de-
fendant, and the instructions asked to
4 that effect 81 Ould be given. It is a wise
/ decision. But this turning Of churches
/ into banks is a most unmi tlgated evil.
