She edfevil (bnMtr. Friday Horning. January 22. ISO!). PASTE SI.IXUIXU. Last year it cost the people of Penn sylvania just. $.17,000 to pay for the pasting and folding of documents for the lower branch of the Legislature, there having been thirty four men em ployed to do the work. There was not enough for these to do, one liyus who was appointed a paster and folder not having gone near Harrisburg dur ing the session except to draw his pay. Notwithstanding the fact, however, that thirty four men can easily per form the labor of the pa-ding and fold ing department, the radicals of the House of Representatives at Harris burg, the other day, passed a resolution authorizing the increase of the num ber of these slingers of paste, "not to exceed twenty seven," which would have made just sixty-one, or one for each radical member, and would have added at least $29,000 to the expenses of the pasting and folding business.— Every radical member of the House voted for this resolution, whilst every Democrat except five voted against it. These latter are being rebuked and condemned by the deiifocracy every where, whilst the body of the demo cratic membership, which stood firm against this attack upon the treasury, is being applauded by men of all par ties from one end of the State to the other. The indignation which burst upon the faitides- men who showed their willingness to turn over the treasury to the harpies hanging around the State Capitol, has had the effect of stop ping this resolution in the Senate. It has been reported with a negative re commendation in that body, and is dead for the present. The "roosters" and "pinchers" of the House, however, threaten to employ as many pasters and folders as seemeth them good, and to fight it out with the Senate on the Appropriation Bill. We shall not be astonished if they yet succeed in their nefarious purpose. But the whole system is wrong.— Why appoint pasters and folders at a salary at all, vvheu the work which they are paid such enormous amounts for doing, can be performed for one seventh the amount annually paid by the State? Why not give out the pasting and folding, by contract, to the lowest and best bidder? Messrs. Ilauch and Cochran, of Lancaster, pro posed to take the contract for the House {tasting and folding for $5,000, and for both the Senate and Ilonse, for $7,500, and offered to give good securi ty for the proper fulfilment of the con tract. These men are publishers of a radical newspaper, and both of them are well known members of the radi cal party. Why did not their political friends elect these men, as they had the power to do, as pasters and folders for the present session? By so doing they would have saved the state from $.50,000 to $40,000. The reason that the proposition of Messrs. Ilauch and Cochran was not entertained, is, that each radical member of the legislature has some favorite to whom he has promised a position. Only this and nothing more. But must the people be robbed in order to accommodate these small-beer politicians? 1 I'KOBI.F.Vf 1 "It PESSSYI.VASIA SOLDIERS. A table has been prepared by Hon. 11. D. Washburn, member of Congress from Indiana, showing the number of additional bounty claims paid and re jected up to the end of last year. From this table it appears that Maine has bad 53,200 of these claims paid, New York 45,031, and Pennsylvania 31,555. The disparity between the number of additional bounties allowed to Penn sylvania, is striking indeed. Our State furnished at least five times as many troops, during the recent war, as Maine, and yet comes in for but a little more than one-half the number of additional bounties paid to the lat ter State. What is the reason of this inequality? New York, too. although she furnished six times as many troops as Maine, gets some eight thousand less additional bounties. It is because Maine is a radical Yankee State, or bora use old Fessendon controlled mat ters in the departments as Washing ton, that tlii£ remarkable disparity exists. We hope our soldier friends throughout the State, will be able to solve the problem. Perhaps some of the radical politicians who profess to be their special friends, can give them a clew to the riddle. GEN. Butler carried through the House a proviso iu the diplomatic ap propriation bill to abolish (he three South American missions, and consoli date all into one. This throws out Gen. Kilpatrick. And a very good "throw out" it is. GEN. Blair is of opinion that Grant will drive instead of follow; that he will be more likely to demand new powers than to relinquish the exercise of a single prerogative. Wuii.K Hit' radicals in Congress and in Slate legislatures a re throwing down every harrier which shuts >ut the ig norant and semi-barbarous negro from the ballot-box, they are just as indus triously employed in placing obstacles in the way of the white citizens of for eign birth, his not necessary in radi cal estimation to register the unknown and unnamed field hands of Georgia, in order to preserve the purity of the ballot-box, but cunning enactments must be devised to impede the natur alized citizen on his way to the polls. It is marvellous that the adopter! citi zens of America do not perceive the combined knavery and hypocrisy which dictate the policy of the radi cals on the question of suffrage. When it is necessary for the Radicals to hurl hundreds of thousands of brutal blacks on the ballot-box, universal suffrage is a glorious boon ; but when citizens of foreign birth present themselves at the {tolls, the suffrage becomes a great evil, and radical statesmen put themselves to work to frame laws to render its ex ercise on the part of the foreign-born citizen as irksome, as difficult and ex pensive as their ingenuity can devise. The cant of radicalism about the' Tights of humanity," when the question of voting plantations of anonymous ne groes is under consideration, is quite different from radical cant about the necessity of sacredly preserving the purity of the ballot-box when the po litical rights of the naturalized citizens are discussed. The stupid negro can be employed in maintaining the radi cals in power, and the laws of nature and the dictates of reason are disobeyed in order to give him suffrage. The intelligent foreigner, on the other hand, no sooner makes himself famil iar with our political divisions, than he ranges himself on the side of the de mocracy, and he is pursued bv all the hate which bigoted radical partisans know so well how to nourish. The citizens of foreign birth will be com pelled to make common cause against their oppressors, and it will before long be impossible to find a radical Irish man or German with a lantern. To be long to that party is to be false to race and fatherland. THE bill to repeal the Tenure-of-Of fice Act does not go down quite so glib ly in the Senate of the United States as many anticipated. Mr. Wilson has introduced an amendment which does not materially aiter the original act. It provides that during the recess of Congress the president shall have {low er to suspend an officer, and appoint a suitable person to perform the duties of the office until the next meeting of the Senate, and until the case shall be determined. The President shall with in twenty days after the next meeting of the Senate, report such suspension, and if the Senate shall consent to the removal of the officer, he may by the consent of the Senate appoint another person in his stead. But if the Senate shall refuse to concur in such suspen sion the officer suspended shall forth with resume his office. THE DISTRICT of Columbia is to be the scene of the first experiment in fc- j male suffrage. A petition signed by Henry Wilson, Abby Kelley Foster, Lucy Stone and a great many more non-residents, but by no citizen of the district, has been presentedin the Senate asking Congress to extend the privi lege of suffrage to the females of the District. Negro suffrage had its first start in the District of Columbia, and now it is proposed to try on wo men's suffrage. What a blessing it is to the inhabitants of Washington and Georgetown to have a radical Congress to legislate for them ! BILLS for the regulation of the nat uralization of aliens have already been offered in the State legislature, and as it is more than probable that some changes will be made in the present laws, it is to be hoped that before de finite action is taken the matter wdl be so thoroughly digested that what ever is done will be an improvement upon the present system, and not merely a ina-s of incongruous patch work, which will make "confusion worse confounded." THE consultation between the Vir ginia committee and the members of Congress has resulted in an argument to prepare & bill for the admission of Virginia on her adoption of a State constitution with the disfranchising clauses stricken out. FKELINGHLYSEN, of New Jersey, is one of the radical impeachment Sena ators, whom the people did not en dorse. The Hon. J. P. Stockton will take the scat out of which he was de frauded by a radical Senate a few years ago. Thus does the whirligig of time bring about its revenges. At New York, within the last fort night, failures to the extent of about four millions of dollars have occurred among jobbing and commission houses in the dry goods trade. The recent failure of one of the largest dry goods houses was due to heavy losses through customer-- in the Northwestern -States.

OUR GOLD AND SILVER PRODUCT.— The Round Table has an interesting summary of the doings of our gold and silver mines during the year 1868. The yield of placer mining has continued to fall off, but the extraction of the metals from the quartz rock has been prosecuted with increased skill and success. The various new methods of breaking the rock which nave been tried in Nevada and Colorado have been abandoned for the old apparatus of stamps, which is not equaled in ef fectiveness by any of the more recent devices. The stamps are used, howev er, with greater care, as the finer the stone is pulverized the more thorough ly its precious contents are got out. In Nevada the most remarkable fea ture in the year's operations is the de crease in the product of the Comstock lode, discovered in 1385, and hitherto so surprisingly valuable. The deeper the rock is worked in that lode, the poorer it is found to be. On the other hand, the White Pine district, in Ne vada. has furnished silver to the value of a million dollars during the last sis months. In Idaho the profit of mining has been diminished by drought, while in California the business has suffered from too much rain. In all the new Territories the excessive cost of trans portation and provisions has also cheeked the development of the min ing interest; but after all, the yield of 18G8 may fairly be stated as follows: California $20,000,000 Nevada 18,000,(MM) Montana 12,000,000 Idaho 6,000,000 Oregon 5,000,000 Colorado 4,000,000 Washington 1,000,000 Arizona 250,000 New Mexico 250,000 Total $66,500,000 It is not too much to expect that more gold and silver will be produced in this country in the present year than the year that has just closed has been able to supply. THE CIVIL WAR which has been raging in Japan since the beginning of the year 18GS is at an end. Prince Aidsen, the most powerful among the Northern Daimois, who, after the res ignation of the Tycoon, continued the war against the Mikado on his own ac count, concluded a capitulation with the Mikado on the Gth of November. The authority of the young Mikado, who has recently become of age, is now recognized throughout the country. Henceforth the Mikado will be the ac tual as well as the nominal ruler. Yed do, which heretofore has been the resi dence of the Tycoon, will now be tin residence of the Mikado and the capi tal of the empire. Strong assurances have already been given to the foreign nations that the foreign treaties will be strictly observed. S -veral foreigners will fili high positions under the new government. The abolition of 'he Ty coonate and the establishment of a regular form of government may be considered a* necessary reforms. On Friday week last two men nam ed Manhart and Ix;eze were out hunt ing deer in Indiana county, and while walking side by side the former caught one of his feet between a stone and tret;, which caused him to fall, and as he fell the butt of his gun struck a stone, discharging the piece, the entire contents of which entered the body of Mr. Feeze, killing him instantly. A Boston paper wants a "female hank and insurance company" estab lished. lOMJItIKSIOXAI,. WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. SENATE. A memorial was presen ted from certain negroes of Georgia as serting that their life and property are not safe in the rural districts of that State, and asking for Congressional in terference. Bills were introduced to settle the staff rank of the navy, and to regulate the rank of the medical staff of the navy. A hill was introduced providing for the execution of judg ments in capital cases. At 3.30 P. M. the Senate went into executive session and at its close adjourned. HOUSE.—A number of unimportant bills and resolutions were introduced and disposed of. A bill repealing the Tenure-of-Office act was introduced by Mr. Washburne, and passed under a demand for the previous question— yeas 199, nays 47. The House in Com mittee of the whole took up the Naval Appropriation bill, and after a long discussion reported the bill with a inendment to the House. A substi tute for tho Consular and Deplomatic Appropriation bill was reported to the House and passed. It does not differ materially from the original bill. WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. The bill repealing the law as to the militia in the Southern States was de livered to the President. The passage of this hill by Congress and the action of the House yesterday upon the tenure of-oflice act gives evidence of concur rence in views at last between the ex ecutive and legislative branches of the government. President Johnson signed the militia bill under written protest and in his last message recom mended its repeal. ILc vetoed the tenure of-office bill, and in a incsage since spe cially recommended its repeal. Both branches of Congress have now agreed with the President as to one of these acts, and the House has by a majority of over two to one, coincided with him as to the other. WASHINGTON. Jan. 13. The Senate passed a bill allowing ex press companies, in cases where suits have been brought against them in the State courts for property lost in transi tu in the South during the rebellion, to remove the same to the federal courts. A bill was also passed for the appointment of a commission to select suitable points for light houses on the the coast of Alaska. The concurrent resolution from the House, granting the use of the rotunda and certain oth er portions of the Capitol for the use of the managers of the presidential in auguration ball was after an animated debate rejected by a vote of .'ll to 'l'l. In the House the bill to extend the protection of the United States to the Governments of llaytiandSan Domin go was laid upon the table—yeas I±2, nays 36. A bill was reported to organ ize a temj*>rary government for Alas ka, but after some debate it was laid tipviu the table. WASHINGTON, January 14. in the Senate, the naval committee reported against the petition of Com modore It. W. Meade to be restored to the active ust. A bill was reported to amend the tenure-of-office act, except ing Cabinet officers from its provisions, and giving authority to the President, under certain restrictions, to make ap pointments during the recess of Con gress. A bill was also reported to give Mrs. Lincoln a pension. A motion was made to tix the sum at $5,000, but the bill was finally referred to the com mittee on pensions. Mr. Sumner in troduced a bill prohibiting certain State officers in Kentucky and Vir ginia, who are disqualified by the four teenth amendment, from exercising their official functions. Referred to the judiciary committee. In the House a number of bills were introduced and referred. The com mittee on elections reported that Mr. Switzier, of Missouri, was entitled to the seat now held by Mr. Anderson. The report was laid over. WASHINGTON, Jan. 15. Nothing of great interest transpired in Congress to day. The bill for the relief of Sue Murphy was recommitted to the committee on claims. This, it is believed, is a death-blow to it. Both houses adjourned until Monday. FAIIAJRES DURING 1868.—The fol lowing table, which is compiled from the Commercial Agency Register of McKiilop, Sprague & Co., Mercantile Agents, in New York, gives the num ber of important failures during the year 1868 in four of the principal cities in the Union. The number far over reaches that of any preceding year, which is caused partly by the advan tages given to debtors by the bankrupt act : New York. Phila. Boston. Bait. Total. Clothing 27 7 6 2 42 Commission 36 1 4 7 48 Brokers 12 2-2 3 19 Dry goods 30 -14 3 3 49 Grocers 10 2 2 3 17 Liquors 12 1 11 15 Tailors 13 3 4 1 19 Hatters 9 1 2 1 13 Fancy goods 35 9 9 3 55 Jewelry 60 1 i 9 Boots A Shoes 10 4 9 3 32 Hardware 11 3 0 1 15 Coal dealers 6 0 0 1 10 Miscellaneous 79 16 17 9 112 Total 295 63 59 37 454 The number of large failures from the first of November, 1868, to the present time exceeds by fifty per cent, the number during 11 JO same length of time during the crisis in 1858. THE TORTUGAS PRISONERS.—We observe that strenuous efforts are being made to induce the President to par don the men who were convicted of eomplicityin the Lincoln assassination, and who since their conviction, have been confined at the Dry Torlugas. The numerously signed petitions have been referred by the President to the Attorney General, who it is to be ho ped will give the subject his early at tention. There never was a reason, save that of preconcerted partisan mal ignity, why Spanglerand the other Tor tugas prisoners should have been con victed. The evidenceagainst them was of the most trivial character, and the verdict of the court was regarded at the time of its rendition as ie of the ni >st extraordinary on record. SEWS IX itiUFF. It can he stated, with auuthority, that tlie I'resilient will soon pardon I>r. M udd, one of the convicted conspira tors.

The Supreme Court of this State have just decided that the breaking in a ■ tore house, not parcel of a dwelling house, is not burglary by the common 1 iw, nor by any of our statutes. Joseph Bradley, Sr., a prominent lawyer of Washington city, and some months ago expelled by a Radical Bench, lias been restored to the Bar, by order of the Supreme Court. A righteous decision.

They captured a large quantity of provisions and munitions of war. The Paraguayan losses in kill ed an 1 wounded during the recent en gagement were very heavy—reports from Paraguayan sources say 6,000. A rebel force lias captured the city of ilokodadi, in Japan.

This proceeding effectually settles the whole question as to the operation of President John son's amnesty proclamation. The first action under the Attorney General's circular was taken in the Criminal Court at Washington, D.

A DESPKUATE PURSUIT.— General McLaughlin, commanding a detach ment ol troops at Camp Salubrity, La., iiad a livelyciia.se the other day after one Kimball, a desperado who has been for two years a fugitive from jus tice un.ler indictment for murder. He came upon Kemball in the road both mounted and armed, and imme diately rode for him. Kemball led him a chase through the woods for a mile, when his horse was bogged in a slough, and the, murderer fell oil'.— Scrambling on the other side he screen ed himself behind his horse, and when the General rode up, called up on him to surrender. The General re marked that was just what he wanted of Kimball when the latter tired. Three or four shots were exchanged, when Kimball said he would surrender, and threw down his pistol ; hut just as the General dismounted, he caught up his arms, mounted his horse, and rode oil'. Gen. McLaughlin pursued, and there w:tsa running tight through the woods, each shooting at the other, until at last Kimball's pistol missed fire,on the last charge, and his pursuer shot him dead. ltobinson Brothers, of Makunda, 111., gathered live tons of grapes front IKiu three year old vines this year.
