The legislatures of Illiuois and Ohio
linve passed resolutions of censure on tlio
Members of Congress from those Stales, re
spectively, who voted for the extra Con
gressional pay.
Dr. "W'm. M. Rutherford, tlio oldest
physician in llarrisburg, nnd n gentleman
of high standing In his profession, died, on
Thursday morning, week aged IW years.
Tlio wife of lion. J. Lawrence Get died
in I'cidintr, on Sunday.
Schuyler Colfax arrived at South
Bend, Ind., on Saturday, lie proceeded
in a carriage to the Court House, followed
by an escort '"consisting of carriages and
wagons as far as the eye could reach."
After an address of welcome by Mayor
Miller, Mr. Colfax made a lengthy (speech
in answer to the charges against him in
connection with the Credit Mobllier busi
ness. At the conclusion of his speech Col.
Humphreys presented him with a letter
having l.")00 signatures." attached, express
ing the siguers confidence in the ex-Vice-l'resident.
A resolution to the same ef
fect was also unanimously adopted by (hose
present.

prominent southern cities. Whilo ho is
undoubtedly compelled, by the pressure of:
public business, to defer this visit, it is j
very desirable that it should be made at.
the earliest opportunity. It would give I

COT,. H. B. Death forwarded us a circu
lar embodying tho conclusions of a com
roittco of the Urand Army of tho Republic,
relative to tho establishment of Industrial
schools for the benefit of soldiers' orphans.
It will be remembered thai Gov. Hartranft
adverted to this subject In his annual mes
sage. The committee referred to, after giv
ing the subject mature consideration, re
port against tho formation of industrial
schools, assigning ns reasons that but n
few industrial branches, aud those of the
plainest kind, could bo taught, whilo the
children would feel that they wero on a
par with those of tho reform school. What
is proposed, is embraced in the following
paragraph of the General Order issued:
"Wo propose that this Idea bo so extend
ed that scholars, who desire it and are qual
ilicd therefor, may be sent to the .School of
Design for Women, the Agricultural Col
lego or Normal Schools, and, further, that
boys and girte incliued to learn any of tho
mechanic or high arts that could not bo
learned at their homes, or in Muall villages
and interior towns, shall be provided,
through the aid of tho members of tho
Grand Army, with places in machine shops
or elsewhere, nnd also with homes where
they would be under proper inlluenees.and
that the Stato should make up the deficien
cy between tho amount earned by them nnd
that required for their support during tho
first year or two. Many girls who now
have to struggle along as seamstresses,
could earn a livelihood ns photographers,
book-keepers, &c. Many boys with a nat
ural talcut for engineering or ninehinery,
could learn these professions, obtain good
salaries and occupy a higher place in the
community than "under existing circum
stances." Thirty thousand dollars will be asked of
the Legislature to carry this plan into ef
fect. It is proposed to place this sum in
the nanus ot
Govcrncv llartrnoft and Su-
pcrtnteiidenfc Wickeisham. It is a worthy
measure and deserves suoccsi

-The
Wonro I)1)t llt 80rry t(, fllu,t as wc
lmVe clone by inquiring at the l'ost Office
Department, that the proposition to reduce
ltlu'r postage, together with other chauges
in postal matter proposed by tha House
Committee, failed in the Senate. Believ-
ing that the change proposed was not called
fr, and that it would very materially
diminish tho resources of the Post Ollico
Department at time when it is incurring
lrge expenditures, to facilitate the prompt
(i lot ri hilt. inti niwl 1 pa iiRni iwinti nl mml mnf.
ter on postal cars, and to improve tlio ser
vice generally, we took occasion to dis
sent from the recommendations of the com
! mittec at the time they were made. Our
I belief, as then expressed, was, and is still,
tliat in view ot the much higher prices paid
for mail transportation in this coutitry, thu
wiutj uitiusiDii o: man laeilities over a ter
ritory so much greater than that of ling
land, which has been our model, we have
reduced the rates of postage to tho lowest
point attainable without involving the ne
cessity of large appropriations by Congress.
Three cent postage here, considering the
service rendered, is quite as cheap as penny
postage in England.
It had been the aim and desire of Con
gress and tho Department to bring the lat
ter to a self-sustaining condition. This
will be ultimately dono if wo are not com
pelled to pay too heavily for railroad ser
vice. The postal car system has very
largely iucreased tho burdens of tho De
partment, but it has wonderfully facilitated
distribution nnd celerity of transmission,
especially at stations on the great thorough
fares. Tho clerical force required for this
service is large and expensive nnd constant
ly increasing 11s postal cars multiplied.
The roads exact increased pay at an alarm
ing rate. At such a time, therefore, wo
caunot wisely attempt a further reduction
of letter postage. Three cents for carrviii!'
'. a letter from Boston to San Fraucisco, Low
' er California, or Oregon, is a pretty small
figure. Vet, having once established a
! uniform rate we can not gel the consent of
' the Pacific States to pay more for a letter
. than is charged for carrying it five miles.
: The provisions requiring the prepayment
' of newspaper postage also failed. This
. failure included the proposed change iu
I rates on daily papers which will, as ucre
1 tofore, continue to pay thirty (.euts quar
' tcrly ; weekly papers five cents,
j There was attached to the postal appro
I piiation bill tho following clause :
I I'rovidcd, That all laws and parts of laws
i permitting the transmission by mail of any
; free matter whatever be, and the same are
'. hereby repealed from utul after June 30,
i 17;'.
j This sweeping clause cuts oil' free ex
changes, and also the distribution of week-
; ly papers free in the counties wlieru print
ed. Subscribers to such weeklies will,
therefore, after Juuu 3d, have to pay post-
: hl'c on their papers, and editors will be
charged with postage on all I he exchanges

Wkstwakd. Wo learn from official
reports that during 1872 over ten millions
seven hundred thousand acres passed from
the dominon of tho government into prl
vato hands. This would make ncnrly
seventy thousand farms of one hundred
and sixty acres each, equivalent to three
States the size of Massachusets. In Kan
sas nnd Nebraska nlono. over fifteen en
tries were made withiu tho year under tho
homestead law. These entries represent a
population of fifty thousand added to these
two .States on lands freely prcsculed :by
the government, besides a large number
who acquired their homes by purchase.

Letter from I'liilHdelphlii.
rJULADELrniA, March 1H, 1873.
Friend WiiKcrt:
'Tis a pleasant, spring-like day that
makes ono wish to bo iu the country to
hear the blue birds sing one of those
charming days that you can almost hear
the grass prow 1 It has so far bwn a very
peculiar March, very little real March
weather, Biich as we usually anticipate hav
ing this mouth. It has been very dry nnd
blustery, as a consequence soon dried up
the' mud. nnd now sends it in one's eyes in
clouds of dust. Old weather prophets pre
dict three months of dry weather, which,
if so, will niutui iiilly nllt'Ct tlie price, of buy,
and bo apt to cause a scarcity iu the sup
ply for the next year. This year, how
ever, the springs are well filled, nnd wo
will not have a repilition of last year's
trouble dry, hot weather nnd a scarcity
ot water. I
St. Patrick's Day greeted us with fine i
weather, the opposite of what usually is j
the case. The wind was high, and hats )
were ol'lener (lying through the nir or along 1
the pavements than upou the heads of thu
owners. For some time our Irish citizens
of Roman Catholic belief had been prepar- ;
iug to celebrate the day of Ireland's Patron j
Saint with more than usual earnestness, i
As a consequence, yesterday, from early 1
dawn till late iu the evening, tho streets 1
were crowded with neople in every deseri
bablo style of green badges, green uniforms, j
&o. About 11 o'clock the procession ;
moved, nnd, with many others, 1 was j
greatly astonished at its fiue appearance, I
aud what a line looking set of men they j
were in most cases. Where usually we ex- '
peet to see, in fact I may say have seen, a '
rough, swaggering, staggering crowd, here
was a well dressed, orderly, sober body of
men. It was, as I said, a great astonish- :
nient, and frei-ly expressed as such upon j
the sidewalks, aud was a wonderment to
many who knew not the cause. It is, wn
nil know, a second nature for an Irishman
to love whiskey. It has been their bane,
and had well nigh ruined them as a people, ,
and rendering, day by day, the hopes for
their restoration ns a nation futile aud im-!
possible; and wc may well ask the qucs-
lion, "What has caused the change?" for j
change there has been, evidently. It is :
simply again the old story of their devo- :
tion more justly might bn called oppres- j
siou, except in this case where the result !
was good to the dictates of their religious 1
faith as expounded by their priests. To
ono of them be tho honor, as it is certainly
due for a great good done. Father Burke, !
ns your readers well know, came over from j
Ireland last year, and seeing the danger to
his countrymen from the demon Drink, j
told them plainly aud forcibly whither-;
their steps were tending. And his noble
words iu behalf of Temperance seem to
have been productive of much good. Many
of the organizations he started then wero ;
yesterday in the procession, 50, liM) and
ttOd strong, and the greater part of the i
whole parade was composed of the Total
Abstineueo Beneficial Societies connected
with thu various Catholic Churches. A
gentleman remarked to me that in one '
ward ol the city alone he had been sur-
prised to find tho influence so great as to
compel the closing of over sixty of those
pests of morality, the low groggeries, from
want of custom. To my mind it explained j
the fact I had noticed of so many such ;
places being advertised daily in the col- j
umns of the Ledger for sale cheap. May .
it continue is thu anxious wish of us all, 1 j
have no doubt ! The day ended without ,
any disturbance and without being fol- !
lowed by a niht made hideous by drunken
brawls, and so mote it be after nil such oc
casions 1 No doubt many a poor Proles-1
tant went with a cold dinner, or without ;
any, aud madam had to do without her j
ride, as coachmen, cooks and horses were
all in tho procession or upon tho sidewalk, I
and all business was more or less stopped.
Our city seems to be about receiving its ;
just dues from the government. As you
know, a commission sometime ago chose a
location at Ninth and Chestnut, extending
to Market street, iu all a half square, with
fronts 00 three principal streets, viz: Mar
ket, Ninth and Chestnut, for the site of ai
new Postolllce and United Slates Court '
Rooms, and through tho exertions of our :
Congressmen an appropriation inado to !
coiuineuee the same. To obtain it we bad 1
to fight the balance of the country, though j
the need was pressing and acknowledged, j
far more so than iu many other sections
long ago furnished therewith. It, together :
with the Public Buildings, Academy of 1
Fine Arts, Girard Avenue Bridge, N. Y. I
Mutual Life Building, at Tenth and Chest
nut streets, aud another Trust Com-
pany. tho name of which I have forgotten,
but know the efficient Superintendent of,
Adams Express Company, E. Coleman, to
be one of the Board of Directors, are about
building up in fine style the present site of
iho Adams Express office, on Chestnut be
tween Third nnd Fourth streets, nil these
with others not now iu my mind, will rx
poi.d nu immense amount of money among
us, which will benefit nil, more particular
ly builders uud dealers in building mer
chandize. Tho Masonic Temple is about completed
and is a grand work massive, elegant,
improving and growing in beauty tho more
one looks at it. It was built without fatal
accident, except in one case, and that of a
man who was shoveling snow oil' the roof
during tho past winter, falling to tho
ground nnd being instantly killed.
