While there is no doubt that the services ol patriotic statesmen vigilantly guarding the in terests, and maintaining the honor and dignity of the great Commonwealth, would not be dear at a far higher sal ery than the advance demanded, it is true that for the subjects of legislation now to Is- left within the control of the of the State, the pay of a member can not be reduced too low. In view of the fact that the only objects of legis lation henceforth will be of the most trivial local character, it would be well to move for a reduction instead of an increase. Sheep laws, turnpike hills, game regulations, divorce cases and gas corporations will uot requireahigh er order of intellect or much honesty ia the legislator. THE NEXT CONGRESS. The number of vacancies in the Forty-first Congress on the date of its organization will be thirty, in case Georgia is admitted, and thirty seven in case she is not admitted. The fol lowing Stabs* entitled to representa tion will be unrepresented; New Hampshire 3, Connecticut 4, Alabama 9, and one vacancy in Pa., Mr. Covode's district, where no certificate has been given by the Governor to either can didate, on the ground that there are no ]tapers on which such certificate can be given. He will probably certify the facts to the House for its decision. In States not yet entitled to representation there will be the following vacancies: Virginia 7, Texas 4, Mississippi 5, Ala bama elects August 5, 1869. The case ol Georgia is very peculiar. By an ordinance of the constitutional con vention, an election was provided for members of both the Fortieth and Forty-first Congresses. The same members were elected to each. They were admitted to the Fortieth Con gress during the very last day of the second session, and are now in their seats. Their credentials for the Forty first Congress have not been received. There is now much doubt whether the names of her members will be on the clerk's roil on the 4th of March next. Louisiana will also present a compli cated case, but it is probable that their names will go on the roll, and that they will he objected to as they appear to be sworn.— Washington liepuljlican.

They tell me you have had plenty fine sleighing in Bedford this winter ; but down here "December's as pleas ant as May," and we have seen but one sleigh hooked up in the whole season ; and we only saw part of the box and one runner of that, as the horse took fright from the grit on bare stones, threw out the driver and ran away. But how elegant for the ladies on promenade! Chestnut street, these fine afternoons, is crowded with fash ion and beauty. And how much the flower girls enjoy it! All along the thoroughfare, where beauty and busi ness jostle, are seen miniature gardens of flowers, crocus, rose, geranium, he liotrope, fcc., and you cannot help in vesting in a small, blushing rose to car ry home for a certain nose whieh, if it is not Grecian, you think is the prettiest in the world. But flowers are not the only admiration. The boys too have their delight, for now and then we come across a GRECIAN BEND, not in the store windows, but live ones coming down the street. We had hoped from the severe caricatures of this style of dress, we should never see it except in Comic Papers and Valen tines, but here conies one just now ! It is amusing to notice the effect upon pedestrians. Many who never notice dress, stop and gaze, pass on with a shake of the head ; the scented dandy twists his moustache and rolls up the white ; and the lady who wears it don't appear to care what anybody thinks ; only they do hate the boys who say naughty things as they pass along. Will the boys never learn to respect inventive genius? nor the sacrifices of those who would entail its benefits on posterity f The season for our SKATING RINKS has been a blue as well as a warm one. An enormous building has gone up on Race and Twentieth, and one on Chest nut, but neither have realized. The former imported a cargo of ice from Maine, which, with the Meager broth ers, gave a partial success. One fancy costume carnival closed the business, and the managers, we are told, are now consoling themselves in an ice house. The "Ball is up" as announced by the Chestnut Rink, is true in more ways than one. THREE BALLS is also a sign whieh we often see dis played along the streets where you can purchase articles which are cheap at half the price you pay. The rule to interpret them Ls, "Two t© one you lose what you put in," and will apply to all those who send their money to lotteries, gift enterprises, &c., as we of ten see advertised. These glittering baits always cover a sharp hook. MAYOR FOX. We don't believe in politics in the administration of municipal affairs, and are therefore disposed to commend Mr. Fox in ignoring it in this instance. But since we have seen the attempt, which we fear will succeed, of a certain party to wrongfully foist upon this city a Metropolitan Police, against the sense and wishes of the people, we think this course is impolitic. The very men whom lie now retains upon the police force are hied every week < r two to the tune of five or ten dollars for the purpose of engineering a bill through which will leave him stripped of power and the city to the mercy of a set of unprincipled scamps. Let him at once sweep the whole force from their positions, and with the same means used against him and the city, let him tax each of the thousand po licemen ten dollars, and endeavor to defeat so iniquitous a project. Such at least is the kind of politics we learned in Bedford county, and where the peace and safety of the community is at stake, we believe in fighting the devil with fire, or beating his head with his own clubs. So far, however, the adminis tration of affairs by Mayor Fox, who is a gentleman and a Christian, has given great satisfaction to good men of both parties. The only objection is the above instance which every right minded citizen condemns. The city needs now, more than ever, an efficient force against the fearful increase of crime, and which will not abet it. A FAIR is on the move just now for the benefit of the Lutheran Orphan's Home; and it is designed to make it an immense one. The largest Ilall in the city is to be secured and contributions are solici ted from every part of the church. The Methodist Fair this winter for the "Old Man's Home" was a success, net ting $20,000. The Lutherans want to do the same. KT CETERA. We have had the pleasure of meet ing Mr. Gump of your place, and Mr. Ely, of Schellsburg, who are students at the University here.

Mr. Morton, from the committee to notify the President and Vice-Presi dent elect of their election, submitted their responses accepting the offices. Mr. Cameron introduced u bill supple mentary to the act to authorize a later al branch of the Baltimore and Poto mac railroad to enter Washington city. Mr. Sawyer called up the bill to pay the officers of internal revenue in the South who cannot take the oath, which was debated and then postponed. Sev eral private bills were passed. The House refused to concur in the Senate's amendments to the hill pro viding for universal suffrage. A large number of bills were introduced and re ferred, among them one by Mr. But ler to prevent restrictions on trade by Statelegisiation,discriminatingagainst the citizens of other States. This is in tended to apply to a law of Maryland concerning non-resident traders. A bill was passed to allow the Northern Pacific railroad to issue bonds and bor row money for the construction of the road from Lake Superior to Puget's Sound. At the evening session of the House the tax bill was considered in committee of the whole, and an amend ment adopted extending the time for the withdrawal of spirits from bonded warehouses from the 2,000 per annum, it was laid over. The bill to repeal the tenure-of-office act was then taken up and discussed at much length. The House passed the bill to remove the political disabilities of a large num ber of Southern citizens. The House last night after adopting several amend ments, passed the new internal reve nue tax hill. NEWS IN BBIJEF. In the United States Circuit Court at Richmond Va., the scalawag, Judge Underwood, presiding, the case of Stevens, a negio, of Charleston, South Carolina, against the Richmond and Fredericksburg Railroad Company, for putting his wife in a second-class car by force after selling her a first-class ticket, was concluded. Underwood, in his charge to the jury, which was half black and half white, said : "Dis tinction on account of color was a rel ic of barbarism, which had been hap pily done away with even in that sink of iniquity, New \ ork, where it had been tolerated longer than elsewhere to secure Southern trade." After an in cidental statement to the effect that Virginians were given to drunkenness, and their clergy were not exempt from this frailty, th<- judge read several ex tracts from the Bible, and closed by instructing the jury to teach this com pany that they must not make distinc tion on account of color. The jury brought in the verdict for 1,600 dama ges for plaintiff. The coroner's inquest on the persons who lost their lives at the Caldwell fire, in Philadelphia, have returned a ver dict that, after a patient hearing of nu merous witnesses, they are unable to determine the manner in which the fire originated.
