At the last session of Court the Poor Hi- j
rectors reeom mended the sale of the present
Poor House property and ibe Grand Jur) ,
approved of the recommendation. The j
matter trill be brought before the Court for .
approval at March Term. If the people
have anything to say either for or against
the sale, it mast be done promptly. It is a
question of importance to the tax-payers of
the county. A new Poor House must be
built, the present oue ia a disgrace to the
county in its present condition, and it can
not be improved. The question therefore
arises whether the present property should
be sold and a new one purchased on j
which to erect buildings or a new house
built on the old property. This is. a two J
sided qoestion and one which we have not j
heretofore been able to determine satisfacto- j
rily to ourselves. The mere sale of the pie-- ;
ent property and the purchase osf another 1
may be made the means of corruption and
partisan favor at the expense of the county, j
and if the transaction of this part of the !
country's business is not more carefully eon-1
ducted than some things not lons past J
there is no telling what it may cost, lint j
the erection of buildings at an expense ol j
t25.0J0.0t or $30,000.00 greafty increase!-j
all these evils. But aside from this, and taking j
it for granted that under charge of pTcssut I
officers everything will Do done just exactly j
right, the question arises, will it be good |
policy and true economy to sell the present J
property and buy another several miles in i
the coaDtry- The general impression seems j
to be that it will? In favor of this view the j
cases of other counties having farms are
cited as well as the proverbial profilMtHm
of farms, as generally represented by their
owners- It is also alleged that by having
the property removed some distance from
the town and off the public highways a
large amount of expense will be avoided,
that is now incurred by keeping the way
faring paupers.
This latter reason may be satisfactory
enough to those who live outside of towns
and off the public highways. But Poor
Houses are erected forthe purpose of equali
zing the burden of keeping the poor, while
this plan would not only lay a burden of
taxation, equal to that of their country
friends, on those living on public roads and
in villages, but add to it the additional
expense of keeping the way faring poor,
which is now quite a heavy item of
expense, because the County FOOT House
would be moved away out of the
reach of this class of unfortunates. This
might be fun for the boys but death to the
frogs. Another itetn of expense that it is
alleged would be avoided is that of a free
boarding house during Court weeks. Mot
being posted on this subject we relrain from
its discussion. Again it is urged that the
mill has been a continual expense and a
source of party favoritism and special jobs
at the expense of the County. But this is
only a charge of mismanagement and no
good reason why, what every tody believes
could be made a paying property in the
hands of private parties should not be the
same in the hands of the public, if honestly
and judiciously managed. The arguments
in favor of building on the present property
are that with proper management it can be
made quite as profitable, if not more so,
than a farm alone, —that the expense of j
visiting a Poor House several miles in the
Country, bv the Grand Jury every court,
would be greatly increased and that, for the j
same reason of distance, the physician s
salary would be greatly increased —that j
there are not able-bodied paupers sufficient
to cultivate the present property and that
there is therefore no need of more land.
These are a few of the arguments pro and
eon as presented by various parties. We
incline to the opinion that after all it is a
question of management. A farm well
managed we believe might be made to sus
tain the paupers without any taxation. The
present property we believe, with proper
management, can be inaJL :o do the same.
No property tuismant-gou us our present
Poor House affairs have been for some years
past can be expected to be otherwise than
expensive. Let the people speak and act
promptly in the matter of a change if they
intend to act at all. But let them remem
ber that the most important question after
all is the selection of the right kind of men
to manage this as well as all other public
business.
GETTING ITS DUES.
The charter of the Gettysburg Asylum
swindle was repealed and the effects of the
company confiscated by an act of the Legis
lature a few days ago. The only wonder to
us is that such an infamous gambling con
cern should ever have received a charter.
We called attention at the time to the faot
that it was a swindle, designed to cheat un
suspecting parties out of their hard earned
money, by hypocritical appeals to their
patriotism. The Washington Library asso
ciation, an institution of the same character,
has recently been shown up and the eyes of
its innocent dupes opened to the fact that
they have been taken in by a set of sharp
ers. The advertisements of these bogus
concerns have been published by nearly ali
our local papers and appeals made through
them to the people. We refused to pub
lish them from the first, believiDg them to
be as they have turned* out, swindles.
W hen will the editors of ncwspa|>ers acquire
intelligence and honesty enough to refuse
any longer to assist such disreputable con
cerns to defraud their unsuspecting readers?
It ia time they should learn, if moral con
siderations cannot induce tbem to refrain
from recommending what they know to bo
wroDg, illegal and injurious, that their own
pecuniary interests, as identified with the
interests of the community in which they
reside are in the end prejudiced by such a
course. The newspaper that publishes in
discriminately every -vilo advertisement for
which it can obtain a few paltry dollars,
will inevitably have a demoralizing effect
upon the community in which it circulates,
and the result wiii in the end bs prejudi
cial to its own best interests

THE GOVERNMENT EXPENSES.
The < made by Mr. Blaine, of Maine,
in reportimr to the House of Representatives
the Ghnerel appropriation bill, showed very
conclusively that the Republican party, not
withstanding the large coat for the main
tenance of the army and uavy, is actually
conducting th<> Government at less expense
than eight years ago, under Mr. Buchanan's
Democratic Administration. The whole es
timate for current expenses of the Govern
ment submitted by the House Committee
on Appropriations is $'.K), 550,000. _ Forthe
payment of national iutorest, pensions, &e.,
$lB5 .000,000. This latter sum has nothing j
to do with the current expenses. The whole
of its high total has beeD entailed upon the
country by the rebellion got up by Southern
Democrats, supported and sustained therein
by the sympathies of their Northern .allies.
Under Mr. Buchanan's Administration the
annual expensesof Government were seventy
millions. Then busincs- was done on a gold
basis, there were fewer Territorial Govern
ments, no Revenue Bureau of mammoth
proportions, and r any other deductions.
Seventy millions of gold are equal, at the
present rates, to ninety eight millions of
currency. In the item of army expenses
the comparison is most striking. Under Mr.
Buchanan they were twenty two millions per
ann'-m —averaging, considerable over a mil
lion to a regiment. Now Gen. Grant, with
three times as many regiments; calls for but
thirty-three millions, making but little more
than one-half a million per regiment—that
is to say, the army expenses are being re
duced nearly one half per man, as compared
with the cost in Buehartan'sday. Well does
Gen. Grant deserve the tribute of having
made his estimates "with a degree of rigid
economy wholly unknown to the army in its
peace establishment preceding the war.''
In the Navy Department the Republicans
in Congress have forced Mr. Johnson s
Secretary to reduce his estimate of expendi
tures for the coming year away from 147,-
000,OoOdown to $20,000,000, and have them
selves made a still further reduction of two
millions.
The House Committee of Ways and Means
are acting in harmony wirh the Committee
on Appropriations in this necessary and most
acceptable work. By resolution it has de
termined to confine the revenue to $150,-
000,000, and to raise it, as it easily can be.
upon the showing of many competent au
thorities, from a lew articles—articles chiefly
of luxury, and which do not enter into the
j main industries of the nation. We take
| hope and courage from these promising in
dications. What the country needs, more
than any mere financial panaceas, is a reduc
tion ofGovernmentexpensesanda correspon
ding ditnunition of taxes. Relieve it from
extravagant governmental expenses and take
off the onerous imposts upon its industry,
and its vigorous productive powers will start
up with renewed activity and quickly show
the way out of all our financial perplexities.
If the House will adopt the recommendation
of the committee, it will prove its wisdom as
well as its devotion to tne public welfare.
No doubt many attempts will be made to
defeat this simple and practicable plao; the
I whiskey and tobacco rings are strong; mem
bers there are who have pet projects of re
form. But if Congress will hold its way
resolutely through all these seductions and
and indtti.-emeots, the country will find in
its action renewed cause to trust the party
that has been alike successful in war and in
peace.
TIN. ARKANSAS GOLD FIELDS.—A west
cm exchange says; Accounts are still rife of
rich gold and silver deposits in the counties
of Polk and Sevier, in Southwestern Arknn
sas. Thesecounties are but thinly populated,
and though legends of auriferous wealth in
connection with that region have for a long
time been current among old settlers, noth
ing definite has hitherto been known in re
lation thereto. Parties, however, have been
activclv engaged in prospecting of late, and
reports of their great success in the develop
ment of rioh placers continue tn reagii the
public. The Fort Smith papers say the
mines iu this new Eldorado arc beginning to
attract much attention throughout the
country, and that emigrants are rapidly
pouring into Polk county, hitherto unknown.
Claims are in such request that a branch
land office has been established at Pallas, the
county seat of Polk, to facilitate their loca
tion. Specimens of rich gold and silver ore
are frequently brought to Fort Smith, and
an old California miner, who has been 'pros
pecting,' pronounces Polk and Sevier coun
ties richer in material than any two counties
in California."
AN EXTINCT RACE. One of the most
remarkable races that ever inhabited the
earth is now extinct. They were known as
the Canary Islands. In the sixteenth cen
tury, pestilence, slavery, and the cruelty of
the Spaniards, succeeded in totally extermi
nating them. They are described as having
been gigantic in stature, but of a singularly
mild and gentle nature. Their food con
sisted of barley, wheat, and goat's milk, and
their agriculture was of the rudest kind.
1 bey had religion which taught them of a
future state of rewards and evil spirits.
They regarded the volcano of Teneriffe as
punishment for the bad. The bodies of
their dead wore carefully embalmed and de
posited in catacombs, which still continue
to he an object of curiosity to those who
visit the islands. Their marriages ware
very solemn, and before engaging in them
the blides were fattened on milk. At the
present day these strange people are totally
extinct.

ASTOUNDING ELECTION FRAUDS
Election friends have been so common of
late years, as scarcely to cause a rippla of
sensation, but the last one unearthed, in
our State, by the Senate 'Committee on Elec
tions, ia so astounding, that its details arc
really worth a moment's attention. This
fraud was developed in the progress of the
investigation in the contested ease of Rob
inson and Sbngart from the Indiana Dis
trict. The chief point made by Mr. Rob
inson at the outset, was that he had been
beaten by the votes of deserters chiefly, but
the Committee no sooner began theiove ti
gation than it became manifest that the
most atrocious villainy had been at work to
carry the Democratic .Senator, in that dis
tricL It is in evidence that ' two lawyers
from Philadelphia." came to Philfipaburg,
Center county, and supplied naturalization
papers to hundreds of Irishmen who had
been brought from Clearfield county for
the purpose of voting -that these pa iters
were colored with strong coflFco to give them
fbe appearance of age. An Irishman named
Casey testified before the Comuiitee, that
he lived in Clearfield county; that the
tick>?t he put into the ballot-box had been
gjven to him, and that he could neither read
it nor anything else. This man Casey, on
returning to Phillipshurg was clnlAied to
death by the villains who had led him into
the crime of fraudulent voting. Mrs.
Omears testified that she made the coffee
with which the papers were colored. Mr.
Omeara, ito inuket per, swears thai bis
house was Riled with Irish colonist- ftoni
Clearfield, ;*nd that he was engaged and
paid for aiding the fraud, lie swears that !
one Father Tracy, a Catholic priest, acc-nt
for a "lawyer from Clearfield," offered him
first one hundred' then five hundred dollars,
if he would ''go to New York" to avoid
appearing as a witness. The evidence fur
ther goes to show that some of the county
officials of Luzerne are deeply implicated in
this plot. The fraudulent papers purport
to be issued from the Court of Luzerne
county. The Prothonotary of that county
testified that he did not feel authorized to
produce the record books of the county.
The committee (hen went to Wilksbarre.
They found the Prothonotary and one of the
record books missing, but by a lucky chance
the record of the wrong year had been sto
len. They found the book in which the
names of these Phillipsburg voters should
have been recorded, and not one of these
names are in the liook. Comment on this
is unnecceusary. Not only have the most
flagrant frauds been perpetrated. but for
gery, perjury, subornation, bribery and
murder have been resorted to, obstruct in
quiry, prevent exposure and to overawe
justice. And in these things we get an
inkling of the desperate character of the
party with which we must contend next
autumn.

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION. —The
Washington Chronicle of Friday morning
says:
The news from New Hampshire i- m ot
satisfactory. Everything has changed for the
better, and no Republican doubts our success
at the election on the 10th of March, Gen
erals Sickles and Cochrane commenced tin it
canvass on Wednesday, and they will be
followed by some of the ablest (.' ngrr -sional ;
orators. We can imagine the effect <0 the!
incisive rhetoric and eleni arguments of the
mutilated Sickles upon the Deinocr;.-- of
other days and the brave boys be led ia
battle. As if to complete the itood news,
Montgomery Blair is to help the Republicans
of New Hampshire by speaking for the
Democrats. The logic of this busy dialec
tician is of the centrifugal order, driving
off from any pary he supports all sensible
and patriotic men.
MR. TILTON, in the ludepeiidant, quoting
the concluding paragraph of one of General
1 Grant's letters to the President, wherein he
I repels the assault on his "honor a? a soldier.
and integrity as a titan," remarks as follows:
General Grant has driven hi- pen through
the President like a spear. These closing
words have a ehivalric ring. Their author,
finding that his "honor as a -oldier" and
this "integrity as a man has been violently
assailed, smote his chief assailant flat
against the cheek. Neither with voice nor
pen (both of whieh he uses rarely) has
General Grant ever appeared before the
public to greater advantage than in the few
lines which wo have above transcribed
A SINGULAR piece of careless writing
in "Nicholas Nickleby" does not appear to
have ever attracted much attention. Ni
cholas, it will be remembered, goes down to
Yorkshire in mid-winter, and the severity
of the weather is such that tho coach is
snowed up on the way, and at the end of
the journey the ice is so thick that water is
not obtainable in sufficient quantities to en
able Nicholas to give himself a wash, who
is, therefore, obliged to content himself
"with a dry polish." The next day, how
ever, it is stated that one of the scholars is
engaged "weeding the garden," indicating a
change of season and tempeature not alto
gether in accordance with natural laws.
IF we are to judge of a fool by his folly,
then Andrew Johnson needs neither judge
nor jury to condemn him. The latest exlii
bition he has made of himself, is the uonii
nation ofGeneral Sherman to be General by
brevet. As there is neither law, precedent,
nor warrant of any kind for this action, it is
transparentenough that its sole inspiration is
a belittlcing desire to vent his petty spite
upon General Grant. Such childish exhibi
tions are looked for from fools and children;
but from a President of the United States—
faugh!
A LETTER written by Governor Andrew
three days before his death closes as follows:
"The tendency of the house is toward Grant.
And that is best. It is not the ideal good.
It is bad for the country that he must leave
his present post—bad for hint, the soldier, to
try and to endure the hard fate which awaits
him in civil life. Bnt it is the apparently
best practical good the country can have.
And Grant is so square and honest a man
that I believe he is bound to be right in the
main anywhere."
THE United States bonds of ]s47, which
matured on the 21st of December, will, it is
understood, be paid on presentation at the
Treasury Department or at the office of
the Assistant Treasurer in New York, in
