The legislature of Pennsylvania ad journed at noon, Thursday last the Gth instant, after au extra session of six weary months, during which absolutely nothing was done excepting the pass age of a judicial apportionment bill. And yet both houses passed bills voting themselves full pay for the entire sess ion, some SI7OO per member for the ex tra session alone, besides about SISOO each for the regular session that piece ded. And this in the face of the fact that both houses stood pledged by sol emn resolution to take no pay after September 10th. The action of the two houses in this respect is on a par, and is simply shameful, disgraceful be yond the power of words to describe. Governer Pattison tried hard to save the state treasury from this wholesale and most outrageous grab—this gigan tic robbery under the forms of law, but without avail. He vetoed the principal parts of the salary bills, giviqsr a3 good ana oouotr reasons for his disapproval as a Governer ever wrote, but our dais ies of Legislators repassed the bill over the Governer's veto. They take their princely pay—not for work performed, for labor done -but for idling and loaf ing around Harrisburg for six full months, to the everlasting shame of our good old commonwealth, It would be manifestly unfair to cen sure and condemn all the members equally. No doubt there are some ex ceptions to the general run. Some may have acted honorably and honestly in this matter by refusing full pay for the long time so disreditably thrown away. But the record must speak for or against each and every individual member. Those who are able to do so Should speeedily purge themselves from the general and lasting disgrace that attaches to the aggregate carcass. The people will know what their ser vants did, and all who can not show up a clean record might as well make up their minds that their career as statesmen has ended. ALTHOUGH the defeat of Mr. Ran dall for Speaker is a sore disappoint ment to his political and personal friends throughout the country, and es pecially to the democrats of Pennsylva nia,it must be conceded that Mr. Car lisle is a most excellent choice for the important place. Personally he is an able statesman, an excellent parliamen tarian and his public life presents an exceptionally 'clean record, while his address on assuming t the chair is all that could be desired. His conserva tive words on the tariff question are calculated to allay apprehension on that score, and if he follows out the course indicated there will be no radical chan ges in onr tariff and revenue laws and no violent disturbances of our manu facturing, commercial and industrial business need be feared. PRESIDENT ARTHUR'S message is considered a fair average document of the kind, without anything new or startling in it. It is thought that the President will make the Mississippi riv er improvements, the Hennepin Canal and other public works the subject of special messages to Congress. Refer ence to these subjects was ommitted from the regular messages, with the view of treating them more in detail in supplemental communications. THE following article fiom the Pitts burg Post , portrays the sins of the re cent legislature in strong and truthful language. The Post , however is a tri fle too one-sided. While thesaction of the republican senate is simply inde fensible, yea, disgraceful to the lowest degree, the democratic house is also highly censurable,although not to the same extent—for prolonging the utter ly useless session for months after it was painfully apparent that it would ; be entirely barren of results. Had the advice of Senator Wallace, Chairman Ilensel and others of the best men in the party been heeded and an adjourn ment agreed to after tho senate had is sued its ultimatum, tho house Wuiild have saved itself from individual and collective disgrace, and the party very probably from an ignoble defeat at the polls : Lot It Go. It adjourns after having expanded o ver half a million of dollars, without performing the neglected duties of tho regular sesion, tor which the governor in obedience to his constitutional duty convented it. JLt adjourns leaving tho representa tion of the state in congress and the legislature unequal, unjust and illegal; in defiance of the laws of congress and of tho solemn oaths of the members. It adjourns after having established a monstrous precedent of partisan un fairness and wrong that may cause grave disasters to representative gov ernment in tho future. It adjourned at a crittical period of the industrial history of the common wealth, with the possibility that its re jection of the constitutional mandate and federal law may cause the state the loss of its representation in the next congress. It adjourns after having perpetuated, in the interest ofapolitcal I oss,systems of representation that are insulting to the people, dishonest and illegal. For this chapter of wrongs the rep ublican senate, acting under the orders of Boss Cameron, is responsible. It abdicated its legislative functions, but with tho dishonesty of highwaymen grabbed full pay from the treasury for its neglect of duty and moral perjury. It voted itself thousands, not for work done, but for work avoided and reject ed. "Monstrous as such a claim would be under any circumstances," well and truthfully said Governor Pattison," it is yet the more repug nant to law, equity and common sense, when asserted by oflicals who menace the very existence of republican gov ernment by refusing to obey the plain est and most imperative of constitutio nal commands and give to the people the most sacred and valuable of politi cal rights." No legislative body has ever met in the Union that showed itself so avarici ous of the people's money as tho sen ate,or so intent on grabbing every pen ny .it could dishonestly claim. No southern bull-dozer or rotten-borough champions in old England, have prov ed themselves such adepts in devising aud perpetuating swindling and thiev ing schemes to disfranchise the people. Let the senate go. It has achieved an infamy never attaiued by its prede cessors aud hardly possible to its suc cescors. It has been false to the con stitution, to its oaths, and to vital in terests of the people. The early days of the session were devoted to conspi racies of disfranchisement for Boss Cameron's profit. The closing days to petty larceuy for individual profit. THE Harrisburg Patriot bestows the following graceful but deserved compli ment". nnnn RrrUßoi* Uoolr.nf H>rv tl'— man,for the able and satisfactory man ner in which he discharged .his duties as Chief Clerk of the Ilonse. Mr. Meek, has made a record of whieh he may well feel proud : An Honorable Record. On Saturday last Mr. P. Gray Meek, chief clerk of the house of representa tives, completed the settlement of his accounts, turned over to the governor the remnant of tne state's property in his charge and left for his home. In his departure he carried with him not only the conciousness of having dis charged his duty with fidelity but the respect alike of the members and citi zens with whom his official duties brought him into contact. During the protracted sessions In which Mr. Meek presided at the cleik's desk, covering a period of eleven months, he lias been an intelligent and zealous champion of economy and re form. 110 has been faithful to eveiy obligation which the arduous duties of the ollice imposed. Mr. Meek is to be congratulated that his labors are ended. For nearly eight of the eleven months of service his work has been without compensation. But this fact never suggested to his mind the expedient of slighting his du ties or neglecting his obligations. To the end he was punctual, ready and faithful. Though his term is one that did not add materially to his means,ho lias recompense in the universal esteem in which he is held. His associates on the desk, Elbridge McConkey and S. W. Shadle, share with him this price less reward, but in their honor his sat isfaction is multiplied. Washington News and Gossip. WASHINGTON, Dec. 8, 1833. Mr. Carlisle's friends say that he has not in any way committed himself as regaids the construction of the House committees. The assumption, they say,that certain men will occupy prom inent places is based entirely upon their presumed fitness for the positions, and does not dispose of the possibility that Mr, Carlisle may make entirely differ ent selections. The only chairmanship that it is quite evident is disposed of is that of the Ways and Means. The rest are in doubt, to say the least, and any attempt to name the personnel of the committee would be an assumption which facts would not warrant. The only thing Mr, Carlisle has given his friends to understandas positively settled is that the Ways and Means Committee will be placed under the control of the new members from the West, who were elected upon the tariff issue. This would preclude any slate made up merely with regad to the known fitness of certain old and tried members, j That Mr. Randall will get the chair manship of the Committee on Appro priations is certainly not positively set tled,though his litness for that position is generally conceded. Mr. Blackburn's friends are urging upon the Speaker tho appointment of that gentleman to tho posit ion,and, as Mr. Carlisle has not committed himself upon that point,there is no reason to assume that he may not select Mr. Blackburn in preference) to Mr. Randall. It is a matter of common remark that there are more young men in Con gress than have been observed among tho membership hitherto. In the House there are Hi ty members, so says one who has made inquiry, under forty years of age. The youngest member is Mr. Post, of lVnusylvr.nia, who is now 27. The youngest Senator is Mr. Kenna, of West Virginia,now .'>s. The question of interest is : What is bring ing the young men to the front in poli tics ? An examination of the faces of the Representatives,as they sit at their desks, will show that the proportionate majority of young men is with the Democrats. Said a Republican who studies the current of politics atten tively : "One of my principal fears for tho future arises from tho visible fact that the young Democrats are as serting themselves. They are taking control of the party, and that means an opposition to us of decision and ag gression. The old Democrats have been made timid by frequent defeat. They are afraid to take a positive stand, and their vacillating course has helped the Republicans to many a vic tory. But these youngsters are now crowding the old fellows to the rear, and their influence is felt already. Why, just look. The young element has captured about all the oflices of tire House ! The old fogies were beaten out of their boots. And 1 tell you, the Republican party will have to fight hereafter for all it gets." HOWARD. NO WONDER. A "Man That Suffered Mental and Physical Agony Eight Years Proclaims His Happiness. Mental agony is dreadful, but when that and a phvsicel ailment combine, it is.simply terrible. Such was the con dition of George W. Frampton, of Huntington, W. Ya. for eight years, He was a sufferer of necroses: that is the leg-bone at the ankle was iuibmed and mortified, which caused a running sore. lie says: "Pieces of bone the size of a silver three cent piece came out of the sore on my [leg. The dis charge from the sore was almost con tinual, and Iwas unable to walk. For eight years I had been doctoring. I have been under the treatment of a physician at Newport, Kv., for a year; N „r,N>-- —* JlnngtoN, Ohhr, vi me for three years, and a doctor here at Huntington worked with me for a long time. None of them did me any good, and they all finally said my case was hopeless. [A few months ago I commenced trying PERUNA, ard now I am well. 1 can walk as goed as any body, and have perfect use of my limb. Words are inadequate lo describe the mental agony I suffered when I thought I was always to be a sufferer. The thought of the a miction caused me more distress than the sue, so that ttie two combined was indeed agony. Be ing now fiee from both mental and physical suffering, my happiness knows no bounds. PERUNA has furnished me that which I prayed for during my oight years of suffering." *)t. jpmo |joli'!, i\os. lit" &'Bl9 ARCII ST., PHILADELPHIA.
