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

ago. Thus does the whirligig of time
bring about its revenges.
At New York, within the last fort

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.

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.

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.
