He says : "After the 4th of March the well-disciplined and abic baud of Republicans ia the Senate, veterans ia legislative training and in parliamentary knowledge, led by such masters as Edmunds, Conkling, Claiae, and others, will be absolved of all responsibility for Uiltion. They become the fault-finders, as the Democrats have beea for so many years, and that tbey will make it warm for tbe Democratic uijjrity, none can doubt." Feu ft hundred and thirtv-eix bills have so far been introduced in tbe House at HarrUburg. of which over two hundred aod fifty have been re ported from committees. Every member appears to have put ia an appearance with his grip-sack full of bill, emanating from the wisdom, or embracing the local wants of his constituents. These are emptied into the House, referred to, and report ed back by committees, and then euchascan, by bargaining, log roll' ing and combining, command a ma jority vote, are enacted into laws. Aud ibis is styled legislation, aad (bus are laws made fjr a great Com monwealth. Tut basis of Congressional repre-i mentation is fixed and ascertained by j tbe National census taken every ten years, and it ia very evident thai, tbe Democrats in the preseut Congress realize tbe importance of the census to be taken next year. It bes hither to been maoaged by officials appoint ed by National authority, but tbe Democrats of this bouse have de termined that it shall be taken by of ficers tb"j can control, and bence tbey have determined that tbe offi cials shall be selected by the Gov ernors of tbe respective States. Tbey are in need of all tbe Congressmen and votes they can possibly obtain, and if tbey can force through a bill placing the selection of census officials in tba bands of the Governors of tbe States, the Soothern States and the eitj of New York can be expected to ebow up a ttariling population. Tus lower House of Congress ceased from its pressing duties r'tJ6t week to oast from his seat, Mr. Bis- bee, the Republican member from Florida, and induct tbe Democratic contestant Tbe object, of course, was to give tbe Democratic brother full pay for Wttb sessions, although be will occupy tbe seat but tea days, and to benefit by bis vole in tbe at tempt to repeal tbe Federal laws c-aarding tbe purity of the ballot box. Notice has also been given Norcross, Small, llaioey and Cain, Republican members from duiu Carolina, ttat tbey will also be unseated. The titles of all four gemlercru are so indisputable that no action wattakn ontil this late day, when tbeir did placemeat to Ukke war for Demo crats is absolutely necessary :o en enable tbeir party friends to carry oat their schemes, among which isttie forcing of an extra session x f Con gress. The Democrats bare determined O take from tbe General Govern ment tbe power to protect the ballot box from fraud at tbe elections of its own officers and legiblatore, by tbe appointment of proper supervisors Tbey have therefore attached to an appropriation bill, a clause repealing tte present law for tbe protection ol tbe ballot, and expect to comp-1 the Republicans to absent to this outrage, or to leave the Government wiiboui tbe necessary funds to defray tbe current expenses, or eise lo lorce an extra session. Tbis aUempt to de w ould be tbe piain, it not compli prive the Government of tbe powers mentary epithet bestowed noon him. to protect the ballot-box, is in peifect harmony with tbe doctrines enuncia tedattbeSouth.that it shall not be pet tnittej to try offenses against its own laws, ia its own courts, and is but another evidence of the studied de termination te make the Geueral Government subservient to State Sovereigutv, or in other words to obtain by legislation what they failed to eecure by tbe rebel ion.

It is, under tbis slate of affairs, well worth while thai the people of the North come to some deiermioetion bow to proceed in tbe premise. The bill to compel tbo Slate to pay seventy-five and tbo cauuty of" Allegheny twenty-five percent, of tbe damages occastoaed by Ue riots at P.tuburgh has piea first reading in the lloure. ice members from Allegheny, and the press of rittbburgb are determined however, if they can so manage it, that the State shall be mulct in tbe entire amount of damages, and they are laboring mott indufaiigably for that end Accoraitig to toe.r buo.oK .t in insurrection, ana not a riot iui J . . .

Tbere is a plemitude of this kind ot stuff, (it cannot be cailed either argument or reason) in the Pittsburg jjurui! coupled with tbe threat, aud bilked by the opinion of its employ ed couastl. that if tbe Legislature di es not recede from tbe present bill end aiijfiid it sa as to compel the Sia'.c u pay the tutire Jets, recourtc will be bml to tbo courts. If v. u were a member of the Legis lature which happily we are not we would feel dreadfully inclined to ?ive the bellicose citizens of Pitta burch an opportunity of cinte3ting the constitutionality cf a law rcquir ipg them to pay tbe whole, ioMeadof one fourth of tbe damages incurred. It would ccst no more to fuht the whole than tbe onefounb, you know, and it woald be such a relief to ten der consciences, if tbere be any, among the Sotoas at Hairburg. But as this is in reality a bill for the relief of the Pennsylvai-ia Bail road company and not for tbe citi zens of Pittsburgh and Allegheny county, from whom the money claim ed could not at present be eaaeeed by any known legal process we pre sume it will hs amended as desired, and passed. History will repeat iuif, aad we have a not indistinct recollection of how the State Treasury was deplet ed by tbe bill commuting tbe tonnage tax, for the benefit of this same rail road company. It may be well enough however for cur legislators to remember bow many wrecks strew tbe political way side, victims of tbe blandisbmenta of our Kfeet railroad corporation. We most sincerely pympathize with the law abiding citizens of Pitts burgh, and mure particularly wiib the innocent aud blameless property holders ot Allegheny conaty, and we would ungrudgingly see tbem saved harmless through tbe assumption of th.? losses by the S.ate, it it were not for tbe dauoable precedent they are seeking to establish. TiiE Senate of the United States has agreed to tbe House bill reducing tbe tax on tobacco from twenty-four to tixteeu cents per pound, whereby tbe revenue will be reduced about thirteen millions of dollars per year. j Tbe legislation cf tbis Congress bas been tbo most perfect burlesqie on lain hasinea principles, and should teach tbe people that fcmmon sense aud business capacity, and not abili ty f jr windy declamation is what is needed ia tbeir representatives ia CoDgrees. What would be tboogbt of a man who, perfectly aware that. lis income lor tbe year could not meet bis expenses, would neverthe less deliberately saddle Jiiraeelf with additional debt, and just as deliber ately destroy tbe sources from which his income was received? "Fool," And yet this is precisely what ocr National Congress bas beea doing. By its passage of bills fr the pay ment of tension arrears, steam ship subsidies pad similar measures, it has added largely to lhe expenditures of the Government, while it cvt down our receipts by lowering taxes ttat the consumer neither felt, nor com plained of. Tbe US on tobacco, of all things, ebonld bave been let atand.
