IIarrisbtro, Jan. G, 1871. Special Correnmdcnee of The Evening Telegraph. A DULL WEEK. For the first week of the session of the Legis lature Ibis Las been the quietest that has been experienced In IlarrlsburR for a number of years. Barring the onslaught made upon Senators l'etriken and Findlay on Monday night, there has been no excitement whatever. Outside of the hotels and the legislative halls there was no perceptible difference from the dullest week in July or August. It is remark able that f ueh should be the case, considering that the State Treasurer contest, which is always productive of so much excitement, will be at an end on Wednesday next. The eitna tion in that matter has not been altered, although the Democracy seem satisfied that their services will again bo needed to elect a bolting Republican, in which case they expect to receive some recompense in the apportion ment, if It transpires. TUB COMMITTEES. The week has been productive of nothing of Importance in the way ot legislation. Both houses have adjourned until Tuesday in order that the Speakers may have an opportunity to make up their committees so as to announce tbem in the early part of the next week. This part of the work has been carried on so quietly that the curiosity of the anxious ones has not as yet been salibfied. In conversation a day or two ago Speaker Webb said that he had seen less ex citement in this regard at this session than he had ever known in his life, aud the only reason he could give for it was that in the canvass for the Speaker no pledges had been given or re quired. the record. The matter of the publication of a Record has been referred to a joint committee of both houses, which will meet at an early hour, so as to be able to report at the earliest possible mo ment. There is considerable difference of opinion as to the manner in which the docu ment Bhall appear, some favoring the style of the old liecord, others recommending a full record of the proceedings with a short synopsis of the debate, and others desiring a report of the proceedings with merely the names of mem bers advocating or opposing measures. Auother idea is to publish the report in two of the papers of Harrisburg, and in that event, should the Telegraph be defeated, there would bo much difficulty placed in the way, as Mr. Bergner will never quietly acquiesce in his o.d patronage being torn away from him nnl transferred to the columns of his rival. The record of the proceedings, with the names of those advocating or opposing measures, seems to be the best, as it will satisfy the people, and then again it can be produced every morning, with the report of the work of the day previous. THE CONTEST IN TIIB FIRST SENATORIAL DIS TRICT. There seems to bo no doubt that the seat of C olonel Decbert will be contested by Mr. Lyn (Tall, the revelations made by the Democratic leaders of that district, together with the infor mation otherwise obtained by Republicans, warranting such a course. It is said that the most astounding frauds can be substantiated without any trouble, the Democracy acting on the authority of very prominent legal gentle men that the Registry law did not apply to special elections. Hundreds of men were marched up to the Democratic polls and testified that they had been residents of the division for ten days, and this was taken as sufficient au thority for the reception of their ballots. Again, name upon name is found upon the lists the owners of which can appear and testify that they were never near the polls on the 20th of December. Should this be accepted as compe tent testimony, there is sufficient of it to warrant the throwing out of nearly every Democratic division in the district. It may be interesting to know that In drawing the committee to de cide this case, in the event of the papers con testing the scat being filed, the names in the box will comprise sixteen Republicans and fifteen Democrats. This is caused by the fact that the Speaker and the sitting member caunot particl pate in the trial. special legislation and its evils. There is but little speculation aj to the legis lation in the prospective, but all seem to con cede that it will be a decidedly lively session, at which more than ordinary precaution, will have to be taken. Should Mr. Josephs and the rest of the members follow the course which he announced a few days ago that of not allowing any legislation being enacted under a suspen eion of the rules there will be an immense tuving'of damage to the people of the Common wealth. There is another matter which should receive tho serious consideration of every mem ber, and that at once. Several .bills have been known to have been so manipulated after having left the legislative balls that when they reached the Governor the originators of them did not know them. They had been so altered that their charitable intent had been turned into the most gigantic frauds upon the State. In one or two instances these measures have become engraven upon the statute books, with no remedy to efface them. Where this manipulation has taken place has been a mystery, but an investigation of the mat ter of the railroad compaiy in the northeastern part of the State which was at the last session relieved ot an annual tax of $10,000, might make such disclosures that such things might be prevented in the future. Again, whole sec tions have been found incorporated in bills which were aot there when originally offered; that is, special acts have been made general. This could be remedied by compelling the clerks to read the entire bill in both houses of the Legislature. THE PINE CREEK RAILROAD AND TIIB APPOR TIONMENT. There seems to be no doubt that another effort will be made to secure the bonds uow lying in the sinking fund for the purpose of developing the counties of Tioga, Potter, and McKean bvthe construction of what was known as the Big Pine Creek Railroad Company. As yet tne representative of this movement has not rut in an appearance, but it is believed that he will be here in a lew aays 10 siari me xreumi' narles. It will also receive the endorsement of all the prominent railway organizations in the fctate a power that eannot wen De aeneu Rumor has it that the disagreeable provisions of the bill of last year will be withdrawn, and that in addition a mortgage oq tue rennsyivania Railroad will be deposited in tho slnkln? fund in lien of the bonds. Whether this will prove acceptable to the people of the State remains to . seen. The aDDortlonment bill will cause con siderable eicitemeut about Uie llillwlienit U Introduced. The Democracy will fight this mat ter unlets they are allowed a number of mem bers of Congress and the Legislature in propor tion to the vole cast at the last October elec tion. OOVERNOR OEART AND THR C. S. 8ENATB. , Tbo action of Governor Geary with reference to the conduct of U. 8. Marshal Gregory at the October election has been productive of the worst kind of feeling against the Executive, who Las not heretofore been credited with being a very strict Republican. Ills course was the consequence of the visit of several Republican members, who openly charged him with not acting in concert with the party which placed him in power, aud they strongly intimated that he was fishing for the Democratic nomination for U. 8. Senator, In 1872. The Governor dis cussed the matter fully, and they retired with a stronger impression than when they entered that be would not refuse the nomination if ten dered him. GOV. OEART AND Till BATTLE OF GBTTTSHCRO. It is well known that the form of General Geary does not appear on the Rothermel pic ture, and this fact may account for the eager ness which the Governor has displayed to have the painting brought to this place, where but tew strangers will see what is considered by the Executive to be an incomplete representation of that great struggle. Some other people have been unkind enough to hint that in the event of the great picture being located at this point, the head of some prominent general might be so manipulated that the ardent admirers of the Governor might be able to recognize In it the out lines of the features of the majestic Geary. But it does seem a little singular that so much inte rest should be manifested by the Executive in the matter of the final disposition of this paint ine, and if the correspondence with Mr. Rother mel, the artist, and Mr. Joseph S. Harrison, President of the Commission, could bo made public, the reason might be made apparent to the citizens of Pennsylvania. It is said that such a correspondence does exist, and that it will place the Executive in an unenviable light. Rumor, and I am unable as yet to get possession of the letters, has it that there is a little unpleasantness between the Governor and the artist, which accounts for the fact that Attorney-General Brewster had been directed to issue an injunction which would prevent the painting being exhibited throughout the coun try for the individual benefit of Mr. Rothermel, who by no means has received ample payment for the time and labor given by him in produc ing the battle of Gettysburg on canvas. It is certain that Geary refused to participate in the unveiling of the picture at the Academy of Music, to witness which ceremony a very hand some and complimentary invitation hid been extended him by Mr. Harrison. It is also said that Mr. Rothermel had sketched what was in tended as a companion picture of tho large painting, a representation of the Geary Division at Copp s Hill, with the General at its head, which sketch is still in existence, but which will never be produced in oil, certain facts hav ing come to the knowledge of the artist that the head of the White Star Division was not in the vicinity of the point at the time when the scenes which are depicted were transpiring. It is also said that the sketch was made at the solicitation of Geary, who had given tho idea to Mr. Rothermel. The manner in which that gentleman waB undeceived is de cidedly interesting, and I give the substance of it as it came to me from one who was present on the occasion. Your readers will all remem ber the reunion of the Rebel and Uatou officers which took place at Gettysburg during the past summer. Many noted officers of both sides were present, and on one afternoon the party in visitiDg the battle-field made a halt on Copp's Hill, where they located themselves In theBhade ot a large tree. One of the Rebel officers re quested a prominent Union officer who had been an active participant in that part of the battle to give him 6omo account of the occur rences at that point. The General gave a deci dedly minute detail of the events, and on its conclusion a State Senator, who had taken a great interest in Rothermel's picture, and who had alwavs believed that General Geary had taken a decidedly prominent part in the great struggle, manifested some surprise that no mention should have been made of the commander of the White Star Division. "Why,1 said he, "you have said nothing about Geary. He was certainly at this point, and if you'll allow me I'll try and refresh your memory by calling attention to the landmarks which have been pointed out to me as those followed by that General." The narrator turned on his heel and remarked, "If he was here, it must have been either before or after the battle. I was here during: the thickest of the battle, aud if he had been here I must have undoubtedly seen him. This, it is said, is what has caused the artist to thro r aside the subject of the sketch, and if it is bo, the part taken recently by the . Governor is explained. 91I S1CAL AI1 UA9IJLX1U.

The greater part of the road la already In opera tion, and the present earnings are iarge.y la excej of the operating expenses and interest on the bonds. The balance of the work necessary to establish throngh connections, thereby shortening the dis tance between St. Paul and Chicago 45 miles, and 00 miles to St. LoulB, is rapidly progressing, In time for the movement of the coming grain crops, which, it Is estimated, will double the present Income of the road. The established character of this road, running as it does through the heart of the most thickly-settled and richest portion of the great State of Iowa, to gether with its present advanced condition and large earnings, warrant us la unhesitatingly recommend ing these bonds to investors as, In every respect, an undonbted security. A small quantity of the Issue only remains unsold, and when the enterprise is completed, which will be this fall, an immediate ad vance over subscription price may be looked for. The bonds have fifty years to run, are convertible at the option of tho holder into the stock of the Com pany at par, and the payment of the principal Is pro vided for by a sinking fund. The convertibility privilege attached to these bonds cannot fall to cause them, at an early day, to command a market price considerably above par. U. S.

PERFECT SAFETY. The bonds we are now B lilng are secured by a first and only mortgage on ifll the property and right of the Northern PaoiQo Railroad Company, which will embrace on the com peltion of the work : 1. Over two thousand miles of road, with rolling stork, buildings, and alt other equipments. 2. Over tweuty-two thousand acres of land to every mile of finished road. This land, agricultu ral, timbered, and mineral, amounting In all to more than lifty million acres, consists of alternate sec tions, reaching twenty to forty miles on each side of the track, and extending In a broad fertile belt from Wisconsin through the richest portions of Minne sota, Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Wash ington to Paget Sound. While the Government doeB not directly guarantee the bonus of the Road, It thus amply provides for their full and prompt payment by an unreserved grant of land, the moBt valuable evorconferrcd upou a great national Improvement. THK MORTUAUB. The Trustees undor the Mcrtgage are Messrs. Jay Cooke, rf Philadelphia, and J. Edgar Thomson, President of the Pennsylva nia Central Railroad Company.

The gradlrg on this division Is now well advanced, the iron is being rapidly laid, several thousand men are at work on the line, and about the first of August next this important section of the road will be In full operation. In the meantime orders have been sent to the l'acllic coast for the commenceoientof the work on the western end in early Spring, and thereafter the work will be puBhed, both eastward and westward, with as much speed as may be con sistent with solidity and a wise economy.
