Terrible Fate of Twin Sisters.

A Tamanend, Pa, special says ::
"A horrible event occurred to-day in
the grist mill Of Ephraim Lilly, located
near Shamokin Hill. The miller's twin
daughters. Lille and Susie, aged six
years, went unperceiyed to small room
on an upper floor Of the mill, through
which an upright iron shaft projected.
upon which was a coupling containing
a number Of protruding iron bolt-heads.
Near the shaft was a heavy corn-shell-
ing machine. How long the children
were up stairs is not known, but after
an anxious search for them an older
sister went up stairs and looked into
the room, where the horrible sight
that met her gaze appalled, her.
On the upright shaft that runs up
through the floor she saw the two little
girls fastened by their clothing to the
coupling, being whirled around and
around, their heads striking against a
corner of the iron cOrn-sheller. Both
the children were being battered out OF
all shape by the continuous revolution
Of the machinery. Finally the terror
stricken sister gave the alarm, and the
machinery was stopped. The bodies OF
the little ones were terribly lacerated.
Lille was quite dead when the agonized
and horror-stricken father picked up
her mangled body. Susie lived short
time, but died not being able to make
any explanation.
1t is supposed that one of them, com
ing too near the shaft, had its clothes
caught and was whirled around, and
that the other in trying to rescue heT
sister was also caught, and then both
of them were hurled around. The pa
rents have the sympathy Of large cir
Gle of friends.

A car load Of pipe has been brought

The work will be done at once. and by
the time the warm weather comes on we

The Council is debating the question
Of furnishing electric lights to business
houses in the city. 1t is found that
the lights in the warehouses enable
tobacco men to distinguish the various
grades of tobacco as we'll as by day

The anniversary Of the Danville
Bible Society will be observed on Sun

one at the Baptist church, with a

The Price of Coupons. &c.

he IrlCc Oh SOuDOhSf wv
At what price shall the States scrip
be sold which is to be issued under the
bill to borrow money, &C., &C.? A
consol bond for one thousand dollars
funded under the RrDDLEBERGER bill
at five hundred and thirty dollars would
pay annually afterwards only fifteen
dollars and ninety cents of interest.
The coupons Of that same old bond ma
turing annually would amount to sixty
dollars. If these coupons be sold at
so per cent. Of their face value they
will yield to the bondhOlder thirty dol
lars. This would be nearly twice as
much ss his annual interest would foot
up under new RIDDLEBERGER bond.
In order, therefore, to make it to the
interest Of the bondholder to fund I'M
der the RIpDLEBERGER bill, it would
seem that his coupons must sell down
As low as rs per cent. Of their face
value. We take it, however, that as
comparatively few persons used cOu'
pons when they could make forty cents
on the dollar by so doing, almost none
will use them to effect saving Of say
only ten cents on the dollar. Public
opinion is stronger than laws; and
public opinion is exceedingly hostile to
the practice Of paying taxes in cou-
pons.
The bondholders have willy agents.
These agents will hardly decide to sell
their coupons down as low as %
DER cent. of their face value as a
method of embarrassing the Common
wealth by cutting down its revenues;
for though the face value of the cou-
pons maturing annually is about mil
lion of dollars, yet if their tax-pay-
ing value be reduced to % per
cent. Of their face value, 1t would re-
ouire four millions Of dollars in coupons
to pay one million of dollars in taxes.
That is to say, all the outstanding COIL
pOns now mstured would be used up in
paying one million Of dollars Of taxes
this year, and the one million OF cou-
,pons annually maturing thereafter
would only take two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars year from the
Treasury if they were all used in pay
ing taxes.
Mr.. FULKERsoN's bill, therefore, if
it is constitutional and practicable, will
free the State at once from her troubles
and remove all the spprehensions of her
people, besides placing all her tax
payers upon footing of perfect equal
ity in the matter Of paying their taxes.

Dangerous Legislation


A bill is pending in the United
States Senate which, referring to Presi-
dental elections, requires the trans
mission Of certificate to the Secretary
Of State of list OF the electors Of each
State and the canvass Of the number OF
votes cast for each Immediately the
same is known. This is to be done by
the Governor.
The Federal Constitution imposes
certain duties upon the Governors OF
the several States. But that provision
was ratified by the several States and
was therefore duty assumed by each
ratif, ing State, as no State was to be
bound by the Constitution which
should not ratify it.
It isa very different thing for Con-
eress to undertake by law to impose
duties upon the officers of a State.
The United States Supreme Court
would not allow the Federal Gov
eminent to lay an income tax upon
the salaries OF State officers because,
SO the Court argued, the Federal Gov
eminent might under such pretext taN
such State officers out Of existence
For = much stronger reason, the fede
raj Government ought not to be allowed
to impose duties upon State officer
and, least Of all, upon the Chief Exc
cutivs Of q State; because it would no
be at all difficult so to hamper and an
nov and vex him as to force him to re
sign his Office Of Governor.
II is not now for the first time tina
Congress has essayed this sort Of legis
lssion but it is none the less true tina
it Is time to call halt.

The Supreme Court of the United
States decided long ago that Virginia
had given her consent to the erection of
West Virginia into a State. The Vir-
ginia that thus gave her consent was
the Virginia of which PEIRPoINT was
Governor. 1t follows that the money
drawn by him as such Governor from
the United States Treasury was drawn
in accordance with the law. We all
know that PEIRPoINT was a bogus
Governor but we also know that the
United States Government in all its
departments recognized him as law
full Governor. Therefore, it would be
unwise for our Legislature to raise any
question as to the money turned over
to him in that capacity. Virginia has
claims against the United States Gov
eminent which can, perhaps, be col
lected. But the one under considera-
ton is not one Of them.

The Eads Bill.

The North. even before the war be-
tween the States took place, had grown
rich upon the constitutional scrup'ss OF
the South. North,rn congressman had
voted to improve oil their rivers and
harbors, and at the same time had
generously allowed the southern mem
bers to refuse TO ask for, vote for, or
receive any aid Of that kind for the
South. Northern people grew rich
upon lounty laws and protective
tariffs. Southern congressman would
have none of them. Since the war be-
tween the States ended, the North has
grown rich upon the money paid out
for pensions and other purposes--money
collected in large part from the South
and paid out in the North-thus con-
verting "this fair land" into Poland
OF an Ireland. And the southern peo'
pie still grow lean upon the east wind
of constitutional scruples upon which
their congressman feed them.
Senator MORGAN can find no warrant
for the BLAIR bill, which would help
to compensate the South for her losses
otherwise. Other southern congress
men find constitutional scruples in the
way of voting for the EADs BILL which
would of itself enrich at least
Texas and Louisiana, and force
a stream of prosperity through a num-
Der of other southern States, whilst not
ipiuring the North. Mr.. EADs's bill
received nine votes out Of thirteen in
committee, so it is said /; and we trust
that it will be passed. Certainly its
failure to pass ought not to be due to
south,rn cOnpreSSmen.
