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

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

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.''

HARK ISB ERG CORRESPONDENCE.
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.
With the preseut. letter, my regular corres
pondence with your paper closes. Should
nothing oeetir to prevent, 1 mat- have the
pleasure, at some futnre day, of forwarding a
letter for the perusal of your reader.-. With
the earnest hope that your numerous patrons
may live many years to read your valuable
journal, I bid yon a kind farewell for the pres

TEXAS CORRESPONDENCE.
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. Arid that standard o;
morality taught by (he church of Mexico. IK
considerably elevated before they become ar
honest 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."

A WATCH has been manufactured in Pan;

THK New Orleans Pieagane, in an article
on negro suffrage, says with great force: 'lt
is ridiculous for any one to pretend that be is

THE election in Baltimore on the l'ilh inst.
on the question of the state constitutional

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

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

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*

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.

Connecticut election, gives the following ad
vice to its readers: "The people of the ,
.South would act unwisely, we think, if they

in Connecticut really indicates the disintegra

V PRIVATE letter received in Boston, dated

item : "The colored citizens of the District
of Columbia are making great preparations
for the celebration of the ltith of this
