HUEKC THE TAXES HAVE GONE. About.two years ago we first called tie attention of the tax-payers of the county to the gross mismanagement or gross igno rance of some of the Poor House official-. We have frequently referred to the matter -iru-e. Some of the wise wiseacres hooted at us as having found a mare - ue-t. while >nie of the officials in endeavoring to ex plain matters, ooofessod their ineoupcten <■>". CouijielLd at lart to investigate the matter or have others investigate it. two or three of the party magnates, with the offi cial- of the Poor House establishment, -ot themselves to work last week, and after a couple days arduous labor, succeeded in dis covering deficits and mistakes to the amount of about Ten Thousand Dollars. We were long ago convinced that there were serious leaks somewhere, but we did not apprehend up were quite so extensive as they have (si ned out to Lie. This is but one e!" the ivinw departments, and one from which i> a small portion of the county funds is disbursed. Ifthe leaks in the other depart incuts are the same in proportion, it is high rime that they too should be looked aflct. Will not the keepers of the Democracy in this county give us an explanation of the j mount and character of the discoveries they have made in the Poor Hoo=e establishment? A matter of T-.h Thousand Dollars is of considerable interest to our tax-payers. Could not the Investigating Committee, by going back a few years more find sufficient mistakes, if corrected, to build th new I'oor House, that is so greatly needed ?—A word to the tax-payer- -if such blundering ha- been going on in the management of the county affairs, is it not high time the pri est incumbents of that department be re lieved from their duties, and men compe tent and willing to conduct the county affairs, placed in their stead? The Somerset Herald of last week con tain- a whole column of billing-gate over the signature "E. S We are sorry to have been the innocent cao.-e of this inflic tion upon the readers of tbaf paper, but are 00-oled by the reflection that as the //< raid ha- been for a hmg long that the memory of man runneth not to the contrary --imply au advertising sheet, a- devoid of i ditorial as its editor appears to be of decen cy. it is probable, it has not many readers. 1 hose few however must have beeu wonder fully startled. Thunder out of a eloudles, - k;. eouldn t have been more surprising. That an editor, so long editi nany ueiuucr -hould suddenly revive and immediately be. cin to scold like a fish woman, was a phe nonienon calculated to open men's eyes. It wa- wi.-e in him to identify himself by the initials 'E. S." We concede, that the gen tleniau has quite m wonderful command of language of a certain not very elegant kind. He calls us a "cogging knave." Such was ■ >ur ignorance of our own attributes that we had to consult Webster for the meaning of this participial adjective. We half believed that he was sayiDg .something good of us True, we didn't exactly like the knave, hut then there was the cogging that might, for aught we knew, redeem the whole phrase. We felt disposed to take a compliment out of the article if possible. We are sorry to have to announce that we couid not. Those other elegant phrases "'leash of mangy whit •its." '"brace of simpering imbecile-, "scoundrelly insinuations" &c., . we un dcrstand better—yet they strike u.- as being more forcible than argumentative. Almost any body with a little talent for blackguard isui might u-e them. We advisejyur Som cr-c-t-brother to moderate bis wrath, and tell us in plain english what he thinks of Senator Stutzman'e votes on the Free Rail road Law, also of hi.-: friend Meyers' patri otic course during the war, in supporting the (government to put down the rebellion. And while he is writing on these interesting sub jects. will he be pleased to explain why it wa- that Stutsman wrote to General Came ron urging the confirmation of Meyers as Collector. In regard to the appointees to the Collee torehip and Assessorship, we know Mr. A-heorn to be a man of intelligence and in tegrity, and we are informed that Mr. Mc- Sberry is also a very good citizen, unexcep tionable, except that he is a Democrat. What his course was during the war, we l< nntr r/>I V.* *V. two /In L'OfjJif W wc nnt conspicuously disloyal, ana he is not the unscrupulous editor of a partisan sheet. The somewhat incredible statement of "K, S." that he has labored for fifteen years in s> axon and out of season for the Council.-- ville Road, and ail at his own expense, and without hi- having a dollar of interest in the matter more than the poorest man in the county, is a wonderful manifestation of dis interested action. We could not have be lieved it, if he had not told it himself. Vet he must have worked a good deal more out of *eaeon than in season. If he will allow a suggestion from a trieud, and now that we are on such good terms, no doubt lie wili. may we be permitted to express the hope that hereafter he will labor in ->-ason. and quit this unprofitable work out of -eason; and ju-t now, perhaps, it would be quite sea sonable to have some explanation of his -i --lent acquiescence in Senator Stutzman's repeated votes in favor of the great rnonop oly. and against a fair Free Railroad Law. AtaS-.Mr. Scull tells us earnestly and i-ru-h i ingly that "for more than fifteen year-" he has labored for the ' completion ol the "'ConnellsviDe road.Rather a long time l to labor to no purpose. Had the gentleman taken a pick and shovel and gone to work on this mach abused line, he wight hav. em ployed his talents more congenially ami in accordance with their natural bent and he would now be able to point to something more substantial. The Gazette of last week comes out with couple of editorialsin defence of Sen atoi Stuumaa. One g<xd turn deserves j another and we hare no doubt Mr. Meyers : feels himself under special obligations to Mr. Stui/.aiau for recent favors though they availed liiru nothing. Mr. Stutr.man is per I fectiy welcome to the OaMth'i eneoniuins as tar as we are oonoerned, but we wish both the O'tueUeand Mr. Stutzuiao to understand that we do not consider the fact that a man pays his debts any reason why his acts should be screened from the view of bh> constituents, especially when those acts are prejudicial to their interests. We would fur ther iulbrui theui that when we disapprove of a man's course we say so plainly,whether he |be radical or copperhead. When a public inau violates his pledges, either express or implied,our friendship for him,whether per sonal or political, shall not deter us from iu- Mrurini; the public of his defection. In? The Pittsburg Commercial is mista kcu when it says that we '"recently under took to question the propriety of the Com merdals' course on railroad matters in the State We simply referred to its daily at tacks upon Mr. Hall, which appeared to partake of so much malice, that we were satisfied that they were intended for a pur pose other than the benefit of the Free Rail road Bill. We did uot pretend to defend Mr Halls votes. We suggested there might be a difference of opinion in regard to the objects to be attained. It is very questionable whether the Commercial itself know- exactly what course it pursued upon '"the railroad matters in the State.''

Habkisbibg, April 16,1807. 7'be i .egi statu re adjourned at noon on Thursday last, pnrsuant to a joint resolution passed two or three weeks ago. The se-rion just brought to a close was one of more than ordinary importance, on account of the great Senatorial contest thai was carried on with so mu<h bitterness, but which ended in the elec tion of General Cameron to the seat receutly ( au %cii by ROgar Cuwun. Porkftpfl no cam paign of this character ever before caused so much personal ill-feeling iu the Republican ranks, yet it did not destroy the party, and I doubt if ever our members of the Senate sep arated more determined to battle lor the ; right and maintain the unity of our organiza tion. There was a great struggle ou the subject of railroads, which for a time threatened a breach betweentheGovernor and the Legisla ture, but the matter wasamicabljadjusted. The ratification of the amendment to the Consti tution wHsau important matter that received decisive action. The revision and amend ment of the law of evidence, permitting par ties to testify in their own suits in Court, was an item of no little moment to the public. Other matters of importance were disposed of that I have neither time nor place to enu merate in a single letter. An idea of the auiount of business transacted during the ses sion, may be formed when I state thousand and fifty bills and sixteen joint res olufloiis, were passed. Nearly all these- . bilis were either approved or vetoed by the Governor, before the adjournment. True, a large majority of the acts passed, were of a purely private character, yet they required time and attention. I cannot see, however, that because so much Legislation was accom plished, the members were justifiable in vo ting themselves a salary of $1,3-50. The peo 1 pie sent them here to work, and if they were not willing to serve their constituents at the : old figures, they should have withdrawn in fa- j vor of others who would have considered the former salary sufficiently large. The old adage that honesty and industry ■ have their reward, has been forcibly demon- I strated in the selection of Hon. James L j Graham, of Allegheny, as Speaker of the j •Ser.ate. Twenty-five years ago, Graham was j a butcher's apprentice in Pittsburgh. While laboring diligently for his employer, he also j endeavored to improve his mind, and most j admirably did he succeed. While yet young in years he made a profession of religion, joined the Methodist Church, subsequently became a class leader, and still later a local preacher, and while maintaining his integrity as a Christian, he has, without any solicita tion on his part, been chosen to the high of fice of Speaker of the Senate. Let all the apprentice boys in the country imitate the example of dames L. Graham, and they will assuredly rise to honorable positions among their fellow men. With the close of the present session, the terms of eleven Senators expired:—Messrs. ! Davis, Donovan, James, Randall, Schail and | Watts, Democrats ; and Messrs. Hicham, Haines, iiall, Lowiy and Itoyer, Republicans. It is not ex petted Uii more than one or two of the gentlemen named will be re-elected. The Republican State Central Committee held a meeting here last week, and decided upon the 26th of Jane as the time, and Wil- Hamsport as the place for holding the State Convention to nominate a candidate for Su preme Judge. There was a very full attend ance at the Committee meeting, and each member thereof was able to bring a good re port. The Republicans ere never more de termined to carry the Slate election than now, and nothing but the grossest blunder in the selection of a candidate, can defeat the part y in October next. The Governor ha approved and signed a bill attaching certain lands and tenements, and the persons residing thereon, in Bedford township, to Bedford Borough.

We have received the following letter froti a reliable gentleman in Texas in regard to th condition of Mexico : VICTORIA, TEXAS, March "28, 1807. MASS as. EWTORS : 1 accidentally happened a day or two sinci to get hold of a newspaper dated March Ist 1807. published in Honesdale, Pennsylvania called the Eleventh District Monitor contain ing one of a series of communications frou ■'Max. - ' Headed Mexico—its wealth—iti people—its government written expressly foi the Monitor). This communication contains so many mis representations of facts and does such palpn ble injustice to a poor benighted people strug gling for that great boon, a Iree republicar form of Government, that, although out my usual line of business to write any thing 6 i publication I cannot consent to see such arti cles. calculated to mislead the citizens of mj native State, pass uncontradicted, and par ticolarly now that the public mind is beit £ informed previous to judgment npon that vex ed "question which attracts the attention <>: the civilized world but more especially ht United States." From ati acquaintance of 18 years with the Mexiriin people, their language, habits, prin ciples. Ac. I have no hesitation in statins that a more damnable system of oppression does not exist npon the face of the earth than that practiced by that, •'enlightened, wealthy, virtuous" church party of which Maximilian is now the acknowledged he.id and representative. And while 1 do not pretend that the mass of the libera! party of Mexico is compo- d o( virtue, enlightenment and wealth personified, vet I do say from my personal acquaintance with both part . - that the majority of the - il<- stanlial Mexicans, and by far the great* • per tion of the masses, are supporting the Juarez Government,not because Juarez is President, but because he is the representative of a lib although the Mexican people fr in time an memorial have bden purposely kept in if no ranee, purposely blinded by religious pre b , dices, made to groan under their load of taxes ruled with a rod ofiroo by a despot, or rathei by petty despots, who in turn were ruled bj the church —in fact into the coffers of th< church went the entire wealth of that "laud ' the greatest promise on this continent, bn with all men there is a certain point beyont which they will not be goaded—so it wa- ii Mexico. A revolution against this oppressive church party was commenced in 1824. which has been growing and spreading fr :n tha' day to this, and never until in the success o Juarez had they obtained the reins of govern ment. Among the many liberal and libera ting acts performed by him during his bri*- administration before his removal bv 1 rent 1 bayonets at the solicitation of this "patriotii church party" was one permitting Protectant to erect churches in the "Heroic" nation am to worship God in their own form. Auothe: was the nationalizing of the church propert; —or declaring the property of the nation, lha accumulated mass of wealth that bad h*>> j wrung from the blinded, priest-ridden M* cans and like a mighty incubus hug upon tin Mexican nation, preventing any public im provements, for with railroads and canal: come* intelligence, against which this "Vir tuous" church party is fighting. "Max" aski the question? "after Maximiiii&n abdicate wili peace be restored to a free, independen and happy peoplel answer, nt st emphat ically, no. They will be free, in one -tense but they have been so educated and drillec by that "glorious" dominant party, that nec essarily much time must elapse ere they cat be a happy people.

The future of Mexico i. gloomy indeed, but upon the establishmen o! a linerai roiui ur by decree: that ignorance that now holds the Mcsican - a chain, bound, will disappear; asintelligen advances, the resources of the country will bt developed, and in that case one of i!i<- ricfn conntries on the globe be restored. One strange feature of this question i this that daring the recent rebellion the mosl friendly feeling existed between the army ol the late Confederate States and that of the Imperialists of Mexico, the closest intimacy existed between the officers of the two armies. On one occasion the Confederate forces stationed at Brownsville, Texas, were mar shalled for the purpose of assisting the Impe rial General Mejia when threatened by the Liberals under Negreta. And upon the Con federacy "going up" crowds of o'fioers rush ed to the standard of the Imperial forces, and to day the bitterest rebel sheets are advoca ting the claims of Maximillian "The l>est ru ler Mexico has had in sixty years." ■lrsniK.

They are laying the track at the rate of a mile and a half a day, and cars will reach the town of Salina. fifty miles be- ; yond Fort Riley and four hundred and sixty eight mile® west of St. Louis, on Saturday. Tut: Richmond tVa, Examiner accounts for the explosion in the Clover Hill mines as follow,.: The coal is mined in chambers, which arc closed with doors, when the men are out of them, to prevent the escape of gas ii.to other parts of the mine. The door of one of these chambers had been removed. I: is supposed that a3 the mule driver passed thischiMiher the gas was rushing out. took fire from the candle in his hat, and exploded with the lamentable results already given. Tut Senate and Legislature adjourned their s - . us on Thursday last. The amount of business done in the passage of public and private bills has been immense. In future, the Legislature willnot be bored so much by the passage of these private bills, as a great many of them can be referred to the courts. There were no bills of very general interest act' I on. The ratification of the Constitu tional Amendment was the most conspicuous act of the whole session, and one that will re- I dourid to the credit of every member. THE Democratic press all the land over have been pretentionsly calling on the colored population to note the tact that the Ohio Legislature refused to submit to the people a vote on striking out the word "white" from their Constitution. Will these same papers inform their colored readers that the Ohio Legislature ha 3 rescinded their action, and sent the question to the people? Will these papers note, too, for their own consideration, that this step was taken before the result of the Connecticut election had proved its i'.eces .Tritf autl it, f-oooog', uf tbc amend ment before the people? A stringent law against prize fighting has just been passed by the Pennsylvania Legisla ture. It makes the penalty for engaging in a prize fight, or taking part as second or bottle holder, a fine of not more than SI,OOO, and solitary imprisonment not exceeding two years. Every person being present at the tight, and encouraging the same, or laying any bet or wager on the result thereof, wheth er present or not, shall be considered a par ticipant therein, and asgivingencouragement thereto, and may, at the discretion of the Court, be punished in like manner. THE Supreme Court room was densely crowded on the 12th inst. All the judges were present. The Mississippi injunction case was before the Court on a motion to file the bill. Attorney General Stanbery made a lengthy argument in opposition to the motion, denying the original jurisdiction of the Court, and Robert J. Walker spoke in its support. On the conclusion of the argument in this case. Charles o'Conner moved for leave to j file a bill in the Georgia case. The Chief Justice said the Court would take the motions under advisement, and if further argument was desired, counsel would be notified. SENATOR SCMXEK has at last introduced bis resolution for the expulsion of Saulsbuvy. and will on Saturday try to press it to a vote, with the probability that he will carry it through. Saulsbury ha 3 been very drunk tor several days, and -taggers in and around the Senate Chamber until he has become very offensive aud disagreeable. It was resolved in caucus last winter to expel both McDougall and Saulsbury. but their friends interfered and promised reformation that has not been realized. Repeated warningshave been giv es Saulsbury, lately, but all to no effect, and Mr. Sumner has finally decided to press the j Senate to rid itself of "one whose daily con* I duct ie loathsome aad disgraceful. The Republican State Convention of New York, before adjournment. adopted resolu tions instructing the delegate* at large to sup port an amendment to the cwwUtuuon, giv ing suffrage to colored citizens. Bins were opened on Monday last for the twenty-three millions of dollars rotate loan. About one million at five par cent, was bid for at.nar. and about thirty-one millions at six per* cent, were bid for from par to 5 P'' r cent, premium. The bids exceed c amount wanted by abou eight millions of dol lars. Drexcl 4 Co., Jay Cooke 4 Co., and Clark 4 Co., get about sixteen millions at a premium ranging irom 1-30 to 1-16 V- r cent. A REC EST Washington dispatch The registration in the first three wards shows two thousand six hundred and ] whites and three thousand five hundred and seventy-eight colored voters. Many whites, in addition to those disfranchised on account ! of their treason, refuse to register, and will lose their votes. Of the white vote about thir ty per cent, will be Republican, and ■ ote with colored men, thus securing an over whelming majority, where one year ago no Republican tickets were m the held. A TEUCCRAM from Richmond, \ a., an Bounces the death in that city of Geowe W ■ Randolph, ex-Confederate Secretary of war. Mr. Randolph was by birth a \ lrgiman, ani bv profession a lawyer. He was an ongi n ■ Secessionist, and at the outbreak Vrar ,* i .j rained an artillery company* and by his sum and gallantry, soon reached the rank of Briga dier General. .Jefferson Davis called him in to his Cabinet in 1802. His admmistnUion of the War Office was short, a difference J Davis resulting in e resignation. T KL-tuaond Times, after alluding to the CopperheudrejoiciiJg t the North oyer ih- Connecticut election, gives the following ad vice to its readers: "The people of the , .South would act unwisely, we think, if they w ere to jump to the conclusion that the result in Connecticut really indicates the disintegra tion of the Radical party. It is a mere straw —a cheering sign—a patch of clear ssy amid dark and menacing clouds, and nothing more. Practically, it will in no way change or effec. the character of the Fortieth Congress. Ln tii after the next Presidential election that bodv will control the purse and the swora, und'its leaders will be Stevens and Butler. V PRIVATE letter received in Boston, dated Port an Prince, March 14, confirms the over throw of the late Government of Haytt. Iwo attempts of the revolutionary party were made-the tir.,t on the 22d of February at the Capital, which was suppressed by President Geffrard, and the leaders of the insurgents, Prospero Elie and his son. were killed. A second attempt a few days after, made at St. i Murccs. was successful. President Geffrard. finding that public feeling was strong against i him. sent in his resignation, and on the Utn of March embarked, with his family, on board of a French man-of-war for Jamaica. A new Presideut would be shortly elected. A WASHISCJTO* paper has the following item : "The colored citizens of the District of Columbia are making great preparations for the celebration of the ltith of this as the anniversary of the emancipation cl the slaves in the District of Columbia. Invita tions have been extended to colored societies in Alexandria, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York, to be present and join in the *irc cession proposed to be held on that fay. Am 'tig other organizations that have signi fied their intention to be present are the col ored Zouaves of Baltimore, and the National Soldiers' and Sailors' Union League, colored. All the societies and organizations of colored men of Washington will join in procession.

He was appointed Ministerto traucein 1801, and was afterward Commissioner to negotiate the treaty of Ghent. The present Senator was born in Delaware, and graduated at Princeton College.
