TUESDAY, MARCH 30, 1869.
Th Pennsylvniili ll'r Unrrien.
Tdb Pennsylvania Legislature ia rapidly sink
ing beneath oontempt. The oldest inhabitants
of Ilarrisburg, who Lave seen man disre
putable men congregated in the Capitol, and
many disreputable soenes enacted within its
walls, nnlte in the opinion that the preseut
bod 7 of law-makers, especially those in the
lower house, combine in a greater degree than
any of their predecessors a host of bad quali
ties with scarcely a redeeming virtue. They
are at onoe ignorant and corrupt, too stupid
to perfect any good legislation, yet sharp j
enough to eagerly embrace every available j
Opportunity for earning the wages of venality.
If they could dispose of the State wholesale I
to a foreign power, and pocket the prooeeds, !
there is little doubt that they would be as !
ready to make the transfer as Russia was to
oonvey Alaska to the United States; but ;
aa this species of bold rascality is lin- j
practicable, they are forced to oontent
themselves with the paltry part o
sneak thieves, making their raids upon the
treasury and the rights of the people in the
style and spirit of the petty offenders who
smuggle themselves into dwellings when
front deors are incautiously left open, to carry
off whatever they can surreptitiously seize,
whether it be jewelry, overcoats, or baby
linen. The Twelfth and Sixteenth Streets
Passenger Railway bill was but one of the
sneak-thief sobemes of the session, for dozens
of others have been under consideration; and
the resolution which, in dtfiance of law, made
a large and totally unnecessary increase of the
employes of the House, for the sole purpose of
enabling its leading members to provide sine
cures for their partisan servants, was such a
flagrant wrong that it excited t he blushes of
the not over-Bensitive Senate.
The House is distinguishing itself not only
by a neglect of its appropriate duties, com
bined with devoted attention to corrupt
schemes, but the general tenor of some of its
debates would disgrace a decent bar-room; and
on a recent occasion a session was enlivened
by a display of buffoonery that would scarcely
be tolerated on the stage of a comic theatre.
A shrewd manager, in search of a Bensation,
might make a splendid hit by engaging the
whole legislative tronpe for a characteristic
performance. The "leineu" act performed at
Harriaburg last week, with Blight embellish
ments, would suffice itself for an evening's
entertainment; and if the aotors would be frank
enough to explain clearly the exaot process by
whioh the legislative machinery is oiled and
run, valuable instruction, as well as amuse
ment, would be furnished to the people, who
In the end must pay and suffer for the many
sine of omission and commission perpetrated
by their representatives. At the Ciesnut
8treet Theatre the Field of the Cloth of Gold,
with, all its extravaganoies, might be profit
ably substituted by the burlesque feats of the
legislators, and, where the leg drama has
usurped the place of leg-itimate acting, a stilt
more profitable innovation might be made by
an honest presentment of leg-islative action.
The only thing that would not be fully sup
plied Is the performance of the Japs, for one
of its prinoipal features is the favorite declara
tion of a daring lad "All right !" and this
oan never be truthfully said of the proceedings
of the present Legislature.
We notioe by the morning papers that the
offioers of the Amerioan Society for the Pre
vention of Cruelty to Animals yesterday
evening broke up a cock and dog fight on
Market street, and the names of a number ot
persons who were present are published. Not
withstanding the faot that a good many of the
grave legislators laid off the cares of state aud
visited this city for the purpose of attending
the Moya ball, and that the names of couie of
those arrested at the cock and dog fight bear a
suspicions resemblance to the honored patro
symioB of our worthy representatives, we
spurn the imputation that they preferred the
charms of a brutal contest to the bewitohing
mazes of the dance. The Legislature is bad
enough without any new stains, and, uuless
absolute evidence is furnished, we shall not
believe that the "MoKenna" nabbed by the
police is a misprint for MoKinstry, or that the
Henzey" taken is the Senatorial Henszey,
or that the "MoGinuU" arrested is the mau
who represents one of the legislative districts
of Philadelphia.
We are the more inclined to caution on
this subject on aooount of the threat made by
the mighty Strang of Tioga county, in the
House yesterday. This grand Aurora of the
North gave notioe that he intended to "intro
duce a bill providing that no man should pub
lish a newspaper until he should have filed a
oertlfioate of twelve reliable citizens that he is
Honest and of Kod repute t" Oh, cruel
Strang I Sarcastic Strang! Have you for
gotten your declaration that you intended "to
do no more dirty work this session ?" Mast
you strangle the press because it echoes not
your praises f Are you not content with the
maintenance of the ridiculous and unjust
libel law that you defend f Is that not enough
to shield stupid and corrupt legislators?
Strang, you had better strangle yourself, tie a
millstone round your neck and plunge int
the Susquehanna, than hope to sllenoe the
tree press of a free people.
'nrryiiig; Thlnff With m Hlh Hand.'
Tub Spanish authorities in Cuba do not seem
to be gifted with the virtue of disoretion, and,
considering their rather preoarlous position,
they are certainly carrying things with a high
band.
Mr. K. R. Codrington, the United States
Consul at Oibara, has been arrested, put in
irons, and carried to Havana, on suspicion o
complicity with the rebellion. It is extremely
doubtful whether there is any ground for
such suspicion; but even if there is, this
action is a direct violation of one of the most
Important principles of international law,
and the matter is one that the
Qovernmnut of the United States will
be obliged to notioe in a very decided ' and
uiimistakable manner. The sympathies of
CoDgrets and of the people of this country are
Btrongly in favor of the Cuban patriots, and
all that is wanted is a reasonable exonse for
us to recognize them as belligerents. The
result of such recognition would undoubtedly
be the severance of the island from the
dominion of SpajD, and ultimately its annexa
tion to the United States. The desires of the
people of the United States and the Cuban
patriots are in unison on this point, and it is
certainly the height of folly for the Spanish
authorities to do anything to preoipitate the
action which must result in their own down
fall. Auother blunder" of the moat gigantio di
mensions is the seizure by a Spanish man-of-war
of the British Buip Jeff. Davis aud the
boarding of the schooner Britannia, intelli
gence of which has been received from
Havana. The English Government has
always been prompt to resent suoh aotion as
this, and all that could possibly deter it from
interfering in the most summary manner in
this instance would be the fear of aiding the
United States in getting possession of Cuba.
An imbroylio with two suoh nations aa the
United States and England is the last thing to
be desired by the Spaniards at this present
juncture, and the recklessness of their oon
duct is therefore the more remarkable.
The ( nlteU Niate Judiciary.
Tub two houses of Congress are at loggerheads
on other questions than that of the Tenure-of-Office
repeal. Last session there was a ma
terial disagreement between them on the sub
ject of a reform in the Federal Judioiary, aud
the same issue has been again distinctly
joined. The Senate has already passed a bill
remodelling the system by providing for the
appointment of a number of circuit judges,
whose duty it shall be to relieve the Justioes
of the Supreme Court of the greater portion
of their labor, by rendering it necessary for
them to preside at only one circuit oourt in
the period or two years. This bill came be
fore the House of Representatives yesterday,
but the House refused to oonour. Instead of
doing this, they passed a substitute, embody
ing all the material provisions of the
Senate bill, with the features of the
retiring bill of last session taoked on. It is to
be hoped that it will finally reoeive the assent
of the Senate in this shape. When a man
has react td the mature age of seventy years
he certainly has earned the privilege
of rest ; but there is neither
justice nor wisdom in compelling
him secure that rest at the expense of his
paltry salary. By giving the members of the
Federal judiciary the privilege of retiring
upon a pension, after they have devoted the
best jears of their lives to the publio servioe,
the efficiency of the judiciary will be greatly
promoted, and the Republio will for onoe
prove the traditional ingratitude with whioh
it is credited undeserved.
Bouthkbn cotton Mills. Aooordlng to the

THE EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SO
CIETY oners to the pablio all the real advan
tages which can with safety bo conoeded by
any Company.
Its resources embraoe nearly Nine Millions
of Dollars Cash Assets.
Its annual income now amounts to the
princely sum of Five and a Half Million Dol
lars. Its annual business now exceeds $52,000,000.
Its investments are confined by law to the
most solid and reliable securities.
Its thrift and progress are unparalleled in
the whole history of Life Insurance.
It is purely Mutual In Principle.
All the profits of the Society are annually
divided among the policy-holders, and may be
used to reduce their second and subsequent
annual premiums.
Profits may also be applied in these five
modes:
1. Permanent Increase of Policy.
2. Term Increase of Policy.
3. Permanent Reduction of Premium.
4. Term Rednotion of Premium.
5. Limitation of Number of Premiums to
to be paid.
Its liberality to its members Is bounded
only by the limit of prudenoe and perfeot
security.
It deals only in Cash, neither receiving
notes nor paying them out in lieu of cash
when its polioies beoome olaims.
The general average of all State Insuranoe
Reports shows that, in every desirable fea
ture, The Equitable stands in the very front
rank.
It issues all the most desirable kinds of Life
and Endowment Policies consonant with
safety and the welfare of the insured.
Suoh polioies may be drawn in favor of the
assured, or of relatives, or of creditors, or
others, with profits; and, after the specified
time, have a cash value of a very considerable
proportion of the amount of premiums thereon
paid. Policies in Note Companies have, com
paratively, no cash value whatever.
