RODIN O'BOBDIN BERGNER. ltOBiN O'Dobbin BiutoNEii, of LTarrinbjirg, is in troublo. In this nge of Bpoils-hnntiug La lias detnonittrated bis capacity to absorb more rmblio plunder thitn any other man in the Stato, and there is danger that his inttatiato maw will not bo as well filled this winter as usual. We have deemed it our duty, from time to time, to make an approximate estimate of Bergnor's greed, but really we fear the task is beyond our capacity. If he were to swal low tip tho whole Commonwealth he would still, like his great prototype, complain of an aching void in his abdominal region?. Most meu would be content with the spoils of tho pout -office at the State capital, but our Pennsylvania Robin O'Bobbin merely whets his appetite with the tit-bit ho receives from the National Government. It is impos sible for any singlo public treasury to satisfy bis insatiable longings, so ho turns from the btrong-bon of the nation to the strong-box of j the State, as greedily as the calf that sucked j two cows. We publishod some months ago a j list of his roeeipts from tho State Treasury during the fiscal year ending Novembor .".i, 1868, as it is given in the Auditor-tioneral's report. The sum total was f.r.1,0!0-10, much of which was for practically worthless service. His receipts for last year, as pub lished in the Auditor-General's report of 18(5!), bhow a material reduction, amounting in the aggregate to but little more than $20,000, and we should be inclined to sympathize deeply with the nnfortnnate man if we did not notice that $12,000 of this sum is merely a payment on account for publishing the Daily Ltgittotive Record, and after this bill is made np and settled in full, the taxpayers will be fortunate if any balance is left in the Trea sury. But to return to our mutton, or ruthor to our Treasury-devouring Robin O'liobbin. His particular grievance at this moment is the indisposition of a portion of the Legislature to permit him to exact tho usual amount of plunder from the State this year, on the pre tense that he publishes a legislative record. In tho fear that Bergner cannot be got rid of in any other way, a number of members favor the idea of abolishing tho Record alto gether, and we do not wonder at this disposi tion in view of tho following exposure made by a Harrisburg correspondent of the Port this morning. He says: Mr. Bergner, who has owned tho Job for several fears past, lias grown rich on it, and U of courn j exceeding loth to have it discontinued. The folly of continuing the publication is apparent on its very facs, and members havu condemned it on its own exhibit. The State has paid fifteen dollars per page for printing it, and of conrsu it was to the advantage of too printer to extend it over as many pages s possible. This was done. The Record for 18tis was made to drag its weary length over more than lisoi) pages. This was accomplished by elongation and a total disregard for typographical decency and g.iod tRste. Take any number of the lieord and von will Dud hundreds of such examples as the following: The first section was read and Agreed fo. Tho second section was read and Agreed to. 'i tie third section was read and Agreed to. The fourth section was read a ad Amended. And again you will Had this rascally expansion : -The bill was read and Agreed to. The title was read and Agreed to. On transcribing the bill, it was Agreed to. Or this: The iirst and sections were read and Agreed to. Tho title was read and Agreed to. On transcribing the bill, It was Agreed to. Any one will be able to famish the reason for audi elongation. Tho specimens glvou above hIiiw the fraud that had been annually practised on the Mate Treasury, and the member of the pri!it session do not propose to perpetuate it any longer. Robin O'Bobbin ought .to have been satis fied with charging the taxpayers fifty per cent, more than a fair price for this work; but, as be insisted on having his linked sweetness long drawn out, even the legisla tors are beginning to think that too much of a good thing can be stuffed down Bergner's throat. Consequently that wonderful patriot and immaculate champion of Republicanism is sounding the tocsin of alarm. He sees treason in every attempt to check Lis greed, and denounces this journal as 'a disgrace and an injury to the party" be cause it will not by silence countenance Lis schomes of fraud and extortion. Robin O'Bobbin 's denunciations are, nnder the cir enmstanoes, compliments of which we feel proud, and we hope tho time may never come when' our course will meet the approval of this incarnation of greed and systematic champion of corruption. TRB PROSPECTS OF VIRGINIA, Uf.nxkal Butlkb has achieved a signal triumph in the Senate, by securing the adop tion of such amendments to the bill provid ing for the restoration of Virginia to repre sentation in Congress as render it substanti ally the same as the one reported to the House by the Committee on Reconstruction, and set aside by that body for Mr. Bingham's substitute, by a vote of 1)8 to 9.".. If General Butler bad been in his seat on Saturday last, . be would doubtless have been able to change at leant one vote, which would have been suf ficient to prevent the adoption of Mr. Bing ham's unconditional measure, and in all pro bability the bill would have passed the House as it came from the committee, and in a shape that wonld Lave commanded the endorsement of the Senate. But the vote on the final passago of the amended bill in the House, ; 142 yeas to 40 nays, shows that the majority of the Republican members either regarded the conditions imposed by the Reconstruction Committee with imlif faience, or eLse were so anxious to secure the return of the "erring sinter" as to accept any roeafture which promisod to bfing it about. The contest is now transferred back to tho House of Representatives, and the speedy restoration of Virginia may bo regarded as extremely doubtful. The fight over tho amendments proposed by the Scnato will bo both bitter and protracted, and, in viow of tho decided voto by which tho Bingham su'- stitnte finally passed the House, the issue is involved in great doubt. Aside from the po litical issues at stake, there will be a graml till between Butler and Bingham, who entertain towards each other sentiments quito tho reverse of frioudly. Bingham has not yet forgotten tho charge brought agninst him by tho hero of Fort Fisher that Mrs. Siuralt was an innocent woman, ho encountered death on the scaf fold through his stupidity and obstinacy, and will be nerved by tho remembrance of thn, even inoro than by his professions of liberality towards tho Southern people, to exert him self to tho utmost to sccuro tho defeat xt the Scnato measure; whilo Butler's proscriptive ideas will bo reinforced by hishalrcdof Bing borr, and the desire to show the country that the lattcr's influence in tho House is of very little weight. It is to be rcgrottod tllat the fate of this vital measure should depend in great measure upon the merits of a personal quarrel which is of no concern whatever to the public. If the Butler faction, however, should got the best of tho contest in tho Honso, and tho bill as amended by tho Senate should be passed, Vir ginia will resume her former placo in tho Union, with somo wise conditions imposed upon hor. But theso conditions will be more than counterbalanced by the utter folly of the test-oath requirements, and the era of good feeling between the dill'erent classes of the population will, by their operation, be in definitely postpoaed. If, on the contrary, Bingham achieves another triumph by the rejection of the Son a to amendments, the issue between tho two Lotuses will be so pronounced that tho fate of Virginia may possibly hang in the balanoe for months to come. It is to be sinoerely hoped that a compromiso may bo effected without any dolay whatever, the House yielding to the guarantees of a future compliance in good faith with the provisions of the present Con stitution of Virginia, and tho Senate receding from the exaction of those farcical test oaths which can bo productive of but little good, mid will be sure to result in a continuance of tho hostility bet ween the two races. n nv ivm vin't rinrr mh J Ml IH ; Jl.lllWiHI Mil t A UlJ l I'J, Somx of the members of the Senate and House of Representatives who are loth to surrender tho franking pri ilego aro endeavor ing to got up a feeling of indignation against the Postmaster-General. They complain, es pecially, of his alleged free circulation through tho post ofllees of petitions asking for tho proposed reform. We do not know whether the Inst chargo is true or not, but it is clear thnt the course taken by Mr. Creawell is substantially correct. He deserves tho thanks of the Americau people for Lis efforts to suppress an abuse which even England is no longer compelled to submit to, and which is, in principlo and praotico, one of the most odious relics of old-time nristocratio privi leges. It gives to over-generous or unscru pulous Congressmen the power to compel the l'ost Office Department to render gratuitous service for all their especial friends as well as for themselves, nnd they connive at these petty frauds to an enormous ex tent. In Great Britain even the Queen must affix a postage stamp instead of her frank tt a letter, but a transient par tisan triumph so completely turns the heads of some of our shallow-patod politicians, tlitt they fanoy their dignity is insulted when they are asked to stop tho system of petty pilforing which they have too long encouraged. Mr. Wilson took the true ground, in the Senate yesterday, when he said that "Congress should feel grateful to the Tost Office Department for its efforts to nid in abolishing that which experience had shown to be a burden rather than a privilege) for Congressmen." Every honest man in and out of the public service should desire the abolition of a privilege which, from its very nature, must necessarily be abused and made the cover of innumer able frauds. Rev. Simon M. Landis, M. D., "Pastor of (he Firht Progressive Christiun Church," who was convicted a few days ago of vending ob scene literature, was this morning refused a new trial, and was sentenced by Judgo Pierce to undergo the severest puuishment that the law allows in such a case. Landis will go to the Penitentiary for the term of one year and will pay a fine of ftSOO. Every decent man and woman in tho community will re joice that this filthy scoundrel has at length obtained a portion of his deserts, and Judgo Peirco is entitled to thanks for giving Lim tho severest punishment that it w as in Lis jiower to impose. Landis Las been a nuisance in tbis city for years, and the only regret we have in this case is that he will not obtain all he deserves by the comparatively wild sentence to which the too merciful law restricts the Judge. Another vendor of ob scene literature was sentenced at the same time as Landis, and the probabilities are that such carrion will in future be more careful when they put their filthy wares before the public.
