X WONDER.
It is not at all strange that the vot
ers of the Radical party in this county
grope in darkness, considering they
are fed u[on such food as that served
up to them in the Bedford Inquirer.
We ask the candid men of that party
to read the following printed in the
editorial columns of that paper last
week:
"THE beauties of a thoroughly Dem
ocratic government are just now being
exhibited in New York city. Murder
and crime of every kind is rife. The
city government is either unwilling or
utterly unable to remedy this deplor
able state of affairs. Merchants and
respectable business men of every call
ing are afriad to walk the streets in
broad daylight, and never go unarmed.
Within a few days past nearly a dozen
cases of shooting or attempts to shoot
by means of noiseless air guns are re
corded and no clue can be found by
which to detect the criminals. The
best men of the city and some of the
leading papers have begun seriously
to discuss the propriety of establishing
a vigilance committee as a last resort
in self defence. So much for modern
Democracy where it wields supreme
power."
The editor of the Inquirer, in the
above article, seeks to deceive his read
ers, by asserting that the government
of New York city is "thoroughly
Democratic." He knows better, lie
knows that the police regulations
of that city are in the hands of a board
of commissioners appointed by the
Legislature of New York State. This
board is Radical and appoints Radical
officers and underlings. Not a single
Democratic policeman carries a baton
in New York city. Is this not so, Mr.
Inquirer* Dare you deny it ? Let us
see now whether you are brazen
enough to go on the record as disputing
this incontrovertible fact.
If "murder and crime of every kind
is rife" (excuse the grammar) as the
Inquirer hath it, it is the fault of the
Radical police, appointed by the Radi
cal commissioners, who are selected by
the Radical legislature at Albany.—
The peojrfe of New York city have 110
voice in the choosing of the police to
whom are committed the peace and
good order of the city. The Radicals
of the eouutry districts, through their
representatives in the State Legisla
ture, save them all trouble 011 that
score. Did not the editor of the In
quirer know that he was befouling his
own nest when he wrote and publish
ed the article above quoted ?
Yes, New York is governed from
Albany, and the result is, to repeat 1
the language of the Inquirer , that j
"murder and crime of every kind is j
rife" in the m'etropolis. It is now
proposed that Philadelphia shall be J
governed from Harrisburg; that a:
police commission similar to that of
New York shall be appointed by our
State Legislature. The Inquirer is in
f.tvrr of this, we presume, as the Rad
ical State Committee, at its recent
meeting at Harrisburg, endorsed the
proposition. As this plan works so
admirably in New York, according to
the Ine/uirer, it will, of course, be adopt
ed by our sapient and virtuous legis
lature. Then, if "murder and crime
of every kind," should become "rife"
in Philadelphia, it will be all set down
to the account of the Democratic
mayor, from whom all power over the
police will have been taken and who
will have dwindled into a mere pre
siding officer at the sessions of the city
councils.
Again we say, it is matter of little
surprise that the Radicals of this coun
ty are wrapped in Egyptian darkness,
when their organ at Bedford delibera
tely blindfolds them as in the article
copied above. Will not some of them
tear Lutz's bandage from their eyes
that they may see ?
PAY OF I.F.UIBI,ATORM.
The House on Tuesday night last re
fused by a very large vote to increase
the pay of its members from one thous
and dollars to fifteen hundred. Many
members believe that if Congressmen
receive five thousand dollars a year,
the pay of a member ot Assembly at
Harrisburg should be increased so as
to bear something like a just propor
tion tothat of a representative at Wash
ington.
There is 110 doubt that the people of
the great State of Pennsylvania have
always shown a willingness to pay
their publicservants liberally. For the
services of intelligent, high-minded
statesmen who know the rights of the
State, ami dare maintain them, a lib
eral compensation would be freely 1
paid. But now when so many mem- !
hers of the legislature show an alacrity !
to transfer the power of the Common- j
wealth to the general government, ,
their usefulness as public servants is
closely scrutinized. When the general
government proposes to establish mo- i
nopolics to construct railroads through j
the .State, and make them independent
of the local legislature, and when that
legislature exhibits a tame acquiescence '
iu the usurpation, the [eople will not
witness the proposition for an increase :
of pay without murmurs of Indigna
tion.
If the legislature shall transfer to the j
general government all control over
the municipal affairs of the State, there
is no need of legislators at sueh an ex
travagant salary as fifteen hundred
dollars for a session of one hundred
days. With no subjects of legislation
higher than supplements to turnpike
laws and the protection of sheep, two
hundred dollars would he altogether
too high a compensation for a member.
Those legislators who are so willing to
betray the rights and dignity of the
State, should blush with shame when
voting themselves a salary of fifteen
hundred dollars. It is adding to the
crime of treason to the people that of
plundering them.
With the amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution, taking from the
State of Pennsylvania the power to
regulate the suffrage of her own citi
zens, the general government control
ling all the details of the election law;
with Congress interfering with the
railroad legislation of the State, and
all other important public matters,
what is there to warrant a member in
asking fifteen hundred dollars for his
insignificant services? Men enough
can be had to pass sheep laws and reg
ulate turnpike tolls at a much lower
rate.
The time was when Pennsylvania
was a power in the land. She was free,
sovereign and independent,controlling
her own affairs, and deciding for her
self all questions of domestic concern.
No member of her legislature in that
day would have harbored the treason
able thought of giving up her rights
to the keepingof a central government,
to be organized at Washington. In
Congress 110 man would then have
been hardy enough to propose to
invade her domain with a railroad,
without as much as saying "by your
leave." Her rights were cherished at
home and respected abroad. In
that time the services of the best men
in the State were had, at a salary far
below that which is now demanded.
It was held to be high honor to serve
the proud Commonwealth.
But a change has come. Under rad
ical sway Pennsylvania has become a
mere province—an insignificant pre
fecture, like that of France—bearing
the same relations to the general gov
ernment which the counties now hold
toward the State. Servile members
of the legislature are only too eager to
record the decrees of the central pow
er and rush to Washington for their re
ward. She has an executive styled a
Governor, it is true, but not half the
power of a Persian satrap. When Con
gress proposed to construct a railroad
beneath the very windows of the exec
utive chamber, he looked on in listless
apathy, not daring one murmur of
protest.
In this sad situation to which the
Commonwealth is reduced, the refusal
of the majority in fhe legislature to in
crease their pay, cannot IH> too highly
appreciated by their constituents.—
They had a decidedly clearer view of
the value of the services of a mem
ber of the Pennsylvania legislature,
than had those who voted in the
affiamative. 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.

THE WEATJIF.K.
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.
