BACKING DOWN.
.Just about the time a lot of Republican
editors, who seem to be held in leash by
their members of the legislature, arc begin
ning 4,1 aP' o S isu for their temcrit f in teli j Dg
tbc plain truth on the "pasting and folding
business" tbe House itself has begun to
back down. On A\ ednesday tbe 17th iust:
Mr Vankirk offered the following resolu
tioo. „ .
Wherea*. The appointment of twenty
seven officers of the House of Representa
tives in addition to the number nieu lit tne
act of April, 8, 18G8, was deemed uecessary
at the present session, which necessity ,li!e>
not now continue to exist, for the reason
that two of the election eases which came
before this House and seemed to require the
appointment of sdditional officers have now
been disposed of, and
Whereat, the additional labor attending
tbe beginning of the session in preparing
and mailing department reports, ike., has
now, in a great measure, been performed :
therefore,
Resolved, That the n inainaer of the
twenty-seven additional officers not already
discharged by the Chief Clerk, be now re
leased and discharged, and that tlicir salary
sbali run for the time they shall have been
in their respective offices, which salary shall
be a pro rata share of the salary of such
officers for the session as fixed by the act of
April Bth, 18CS.
The resolution led to a protracted debate,
and was finally adopted, alter being made a
joint resolution and amended that the Chief
"Clerk shall deduct pay for all absentees.
We are clad to see the House make this
move in the right direction; ft is an
acknowledgement of the justice of the
strictures of the independent Republican
press of the State. The men never were
needed and tho argument used at the time
they were appointed was that they would
be needed in the crowd of business at the
close of the session. We arc satisfied that
members may ease their consciences now
by laying the blame on the contested
elections; if they only give the hangers on
a prompt di-c-harge. we shall not even in
sist that the members pay them out of their
owu pockets. But we do insist that the
State be not made to foot the bill. Their
appointment was illegal and uncalled for
and we hope they may never get a cent
from the State Treasury. It is a good
work to accomplish their discharge and we
hope the poor fellows will go home and try
to earn a living by some kind of honest
labor. We are inclined to congratulate all
who voted fur this resolution upon their
meritorious act and hope they will follow
up the good work with more of the same
kind. It will he obscrred that the bill
passed is the same introduced by our mem
ber J. H. Lnugenecker E-q. on the sth
inst., and he deserves the credit of having
set the hail in motion. We ho|>e to see
various other abuses and useless expendi
tures about the capitol wiped out before a
great while. Not among the least of these
is the humbug called the Legislative Record
for tt h;?h the State pays fifteen dollars per
page. It furnishes the proceedings of th<
Legislature about a month after everybody
has read them in the newspapers and is an
utterly useless expense. Let it he iped out
and the necessity for an army of "paster
and folders will be obviated and thousands
of dollars of postage be saved to the State.
Reforms of this kind to he effective must
be radical and sweeping. To be sure the
holders and dispensers of these sinecures
win raise a howl, but it will not deter those
who mean work. This is the next work of
the Republican party, let the prone at
Legislature begin it at once and for it the
voice of every honest man will uphold and
commend them.
THE House of Representatives at Hania
burg on Friday last gave another of Un
characteristic performances. A Dice little
game was set up, members of both parties
participating, by which a resolution increas
ing the pay of members one half, five hun
dred dollars, was to be run through on a
viva voce vote. Mr. McMißer a full bbod
ed Democrat offered the resolution, the vote
was taken and the speaker was about to de
clare it passed, when Mr. Nicholson of Bea
ver called for the yeas and nays and spoiled
the nice little game by which it was intend
ed to transfer about seventy thousand dol
lars frc: . the State Treasury to the pockets
of our self sacrificing representatives with
out regard to party. It was a very Demo
cratic performance indeed. What the
Speaker nad suppose a a waj.,.;c, of yeas on
the viva vace vote dwindled down to the in
significant number of twenty-eight, most of
whom we believe were Democrats, when the
yas and nays were called. We wish some
one would furnish us the yeas and nays on
the viva voce rote. We would like to pub
lisb it and let the people know who the men
are who are ready to rob them whenever
they can avoid exposure. Let the people
look well to their representatives when elec
tion time comes round again. We mean
thus for Democrats as well as Republicans,
lor the majority of those who had the bra
zen impudence and hardihood to put them
selves on the record in favor of this infamous
measure were Democrats. Corruption
seems to he their native element. The ma
jority of the Republicans had seme shame
eft and refused to publicly brand themselves
thieves.
THE REGISTRY BILL.
Iho new Registry bill was reported from
special committee by Senator Krrett ot
in. urg. The bill is said to obviate the
objections found by the Supreme Court to
the former one. Another feature of it is the
changing of the spring elections to Fall and
making all on one day. We hope to see
this b, 11 promptly acted upon and made a
law before the adjournment of the Legisla- !

THE FRANKING PRIVILEGE IN
CONGRESH.
A motion by Senator Conkling to abolish
the Franking privilege was lost in the U. S.
Senate on the 18th iost., by two votes.
That the people may know who are and who
are not in favor of the measure we give the
vote as follows: —
YEAS. —Aotbony, Conkling, Corbitt, Fer
ry, Howe, McCrerrg, Morgan, Morrill, Me.,
Morrill, Vt., l'ouieroy, Ramsey, Trumbull,
Wade, Whyie, Willey, Wilson—l 6.

—J 8.
Messrs. Grimes, Hendricks, and Fatter
son JN. H.} who would have voted in the
affirmative, paired off with Messrs. Came
ron, Sfrague, and Patterson (Tenn.), who
who would have voted in the negative.
We are decidedly in favor of the abolition
of this abuse both in Congress and in the
legislature. The privilege has been so
much abused by men in all parties and the
consciences of our publie men have acquired
such aD adaptability to circumstances, that
the only possible reform in this matter is
the utter abolition of the whole business.
Let our incoming Congressmen and Senator
give any movement in this direction their
hearty support, if they desire to truly repre
sent their constituencies and carry out tbe
principles and pledges of the party by which
iheywere elected. Retrenchment and Re
form are watchwords to be remembered af
ter as well as before elections. Let ourrep
| rcsentatives everywhere heed the fact.
TIIEIIE is every reason now to expect
| that the present Congress wiil lay before
the people the suffrage amendment to the
Constitution. The House of Reprcsenta
tatives on Saturday considered the Senate
amendment, and adopted it after making
certain chaDges. The article, as passed by
the Senate last Wednesday, by a vote of 35
to 11, is as follows:
'The right of citizens of the I oited States
to vote aod hold office shall not be denied
or abridged by the United States, or any
State, on account of race, or color or pre
vious condition of servitude."
On Saturdav Mr. Bingham offered an
amendment, which was agreed to by a vote
of 93 to TO, and the House then, by 140 to
33, adopted the following:
' The right of any citizen of the United
States, to vote and hold office shall not he
denied or abridged bv any State on account
of race, color nationality, or previous con
dition of servitude."
It will he seen that there is no difference
in the two formulas that should delay the
passage of the amc-ndmeDt by the Senate,
and we confidently believe that the Fortieth
Congress will have the glory of submitting
this great measure of justice to the Legis
lature® of the different States.— Morning
Post.
THE KAILKUAO OUTRAGE.
The Railroad ring at Wa-bington are still
pushing their claims for subsidies. The
majority of the Senate Committee reported
'he other day in favor of the omnibus Pacific
Railroad hill which provides for the grant
ing of two or three more Pacific
railroads. This whole business of granting
subsidies to railroad companies has been so
outrageously abused that it should be at
once completely and forever stopped. J/et
U-* have a decided expression on the subject
and an unqualified condemnation from press
aud peuplc and let it be sounded in the ears of
our Senators and representatives unceasing
ly and if they heed it not let them be uncer
-moniously dis-missed from their positions.
Retrenchment and reform and the payment
of the national debt can only be accomplish
ed by the most determined and uncompro
mising opposition to ail unnecessary expen
ditures of public funds and the holding of
public officers to the strictest accountability.
We are a radical of radicals ou this subject.
\\ e want honesty and economy, retrench
ment and reform wherever extravagance or
•buses of any kind exist.
KEPOUT OF THE SECRETARY OF
STATE.
The Harrisburg Morning Patriot of Feb.
16th says:
The report of Col. Jordon, the Secretary
of State, has been brought out by a resolu
tion of the legislature. It presents a clear
tnd concise statement of the duties of the
-everal officers connected with the depart
ment, and shows that its affairs are con
ducted with rare economy for these times,
*nd with strict attention to the interests of
the people. There are no supernumeraries
about the office, and in thisjrespect, it is in
marked contrast with the body which called
'He report. It trmtlj to fort unotA for
the public mtereata if all the departments
of government were in the hand of officials
of the fidelity, integrity and capacity of
Secretary Jordon.
There could scarcely be a higher com
mendation than this, coming as it does from
the opposition. W hen one's political
enemies are constrained to speak well of his
offi. ia! acts he may be set down as a model
officer. We rejoice in this evidence of the
acceptability with which, our friend and
former townsman, Col. Jordan, has dis
charged the duties of his office as Secretary
of State.
OUR llarrisburg correspondent seems to
have caught the apologetic refrain from
some weak kneed editor not yet out of lead
ing striDgs,( and there is quite a number of
this class,) and drops into the usual whine
over tbe ' unecessarily severe comments" of
the press on 'cgislative extravagance. Des
perate diseases require desperate remedies
and nothing less than tbe clear positive out
spoken tones of the better portion of the
Republican press of the State could have
availed to bring about tbe action of Wed
nesday. Republicanism and Republicans
mean Reform and Retrenchment wherever
possible both in State and National admin
istrations and when the representatives of
the party forget their place and duty they
will be promptly reminded of it in no equiv
ocal terms. The Republican party of Penn
sylvania has reduced taxation in tbe State,
and this year reduce the expenditures over
halt a million aod in so doing have done a
good, noble sad praiseworthy work, but that
affords no excuse for the toleration of any
unnecessary extravagance now existing,
much less for renewing such as were legally
abolished.
THE DEMOCRACY ON RETRENCHMENT.—
On Thursday, the 18th inst. Mr. McMiUer,
a Democrat from Montgomery county in the
House moved to increase the pay of mem
bers five hundred dollars. There were
twenty eight votes for the resolution and
sixty against. Of the twenty-eight votes
fiji tin, incrcfeoc, oiAtecu were Democrats.
W bo ever knew Democrats to vote against
putting money in their own pockets. Dem
ocratic howls about retrenchment are all a
hollow sham. They will take all they can
lay their hands on and howl for more.
I HE latest news from Cuba, represents
the insurrection as gaining ground every
w ere. A provisional government has
been organized, its members being elected
by popular vote. They declare for eman
cipation and equal political rights for all
colors, and impartial suffrage. The insur
gents already occupy half the island and are
daily increasing in strength.
A Monster petition, from 27,000 citizens ;
representing all the States and Territories i
of the Union, was presented in Congress on ;
Friday last asking for the adoption of the
new naturalization law. which shall vest the
right to make citizens in the United States
Courts only, that a new system of strict
registry should be also adopted, that natur
alization shall in no cases occur for several
months before an election, and also propos
ing that a residence of four and a half
years shall be necessary before naturalization
can take place.
TltK Alabama Claims Treaty has been ad
versely reported on by the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs. The Commit
tee were unanimously opposed to the treaty
regarding it as a virtual surrender i f every
principle which had been laid down as a
basis for the settlement of the question at
issue. Secretary Seward immediately tele,
graphed the fact to Minister Johnson.

LETTER FROM HAKKISBUIUI
HARRISBIRG, Fa., Feb. 20, 1869.
WHERE THE MONEY GOES.
The House has been occupied duriDg a
large portion of the week in discussing the
general appropriation bill. The bill has
passed first and Becond readings, and the
more important appropriations as follows,
will piobacly not be very materially altereJ.
Salary of Governor. $5,000; Secretary of
Commonwealth and Attorney General each
$3,500; Auditor General, $3,000; Surveyor
General, Superintendent of Common
Schools, and Adjutant General, $2,500
each; State Treasurer, $1,700; State Histo
rian $2,000; Pensions and gratuities, $50.-
000; Common Schools, $500,000, Soldiers'
Orphans' Schools, $450,000; interest on
public debt $1,800,000; Legislative kecord,
15 dollars per page; Pennsylvania Institu
tion for Deaf and Dumb, $40,000; Pennsyl
vania Institution for Blind, $33,000; West
ern Pennsylvania Hospital, $85,257; State
Lnuatic Hospital at Ilarrisburg, $30,000;
Medical School for Feeble Minded children,
$20,000; and Marine Hospital at Erie, $lO.-
000. The total amount appropriated by the
bill is about $4,000,000, and is about $546.-
000 less than last year.
TTLE OFFICER QUESTION.
There is no qu'estion brought before the
Legislature this session, that has perhaps
received more discussion than this one. It
is a notorious fact that the House last year
bad in its employ over one hundred officers
that received pay, and It is probable that
at least a dozen of those were never in Har
risburg to do more than to secure their ap
pointments and receive their salaries.
Near the close of the session, however, a
bill was passed limiting the number of offi
cers in future to thirty-four in the House
and twenty-four in the Seuate. Thus the
Senate composed of about one-third as
many members has more than two-thirds as
many officers as the House. At the open
ing of the present session this manifest in
ju>tice to and inadequacy in the number of
the officers of the House was discovered,
and a joint resolution was passed the House
empowering the employment of tweniy
seven additional officers by that body. The
Senate refused to concur, whereupon the
House passed a simple resolution author
izing the Speaker and Chief Clerk to employ
as many additional officers as necessary,
not to exceed twenty-seven in number. Of
that additionol number but twenty two
have been employed, and five of those have
been doing work for the Senate. At the
commencement of this session there were
three contested election cases before the
Legislature, and thou-ands of the reports of
the various State Departments received.
Two of these cases have now been disposed
of, and the annual reports nearly all mailed.
The necessity for this additional force of
officers has therefore in a great measure
ceased, and a joint resolution to discharge
them and pay them pro rata for the time
employed has passed the House. The ap
propriation bill shows that the pay of the
officers of the Legislature for this year will
be fifty thousand, dollars less than it wa.
last year. These statements, which are
beyond question, show that the cry which
has been raised by the Democratic and a
portion of the Republican press throughout
the State in reference to the extravagant
expenditure of the public money this session
for the employment of unnecessary officers is
entirely without foundation in fact.
PREPARING FOR WAR.
The militia bill has been up for discus-ion
in the House and has passed to third read
ing. The bill imposes a tax of one dollar
per annum upon all duly qualified but not
members of a military organization. In
counties where there are no military com
panies tbe money shall go into the school
fund. A compensation not to exceed
eighteen dollars a year is allowed to every
person a member of a military company.
Persons under twenty-one, or over forty
five years of age or who have served five
years in any such company or nine inoDths
in the military service of the United States
and received an honorable discharge are ex
empt, except in cases of war, insurrection
or invasion. The minimum number in a
military company is reduced to thirty-two
in times of peace. The bill has been care
fully prepared, and the most of its pro
visions are in accordance with the sugges
tions of the Adjutant General. It will
probably become a law in nearly its present
shape.
GUBERNATORIAL.
Ihere are as yet no very decided indica
tions as to who will be the next nominees
for Governor. On the Republican side the
uncertainty of Gov. Geary's re-nominatiou
is growing every day more apparent. Gen.
Harry White is developing moie strength
tbaQ it was supposed a few weeks ago he
would ever have. The recent action of a
Jeffersoß county mass meeting in repudia
ting the declarations of the county Commit
tee last fall in favor of Gen. Geary and de
claring in favor of Gen. White for Gover
nor is counted a political "straw" of consid
erable significence. To say the least, while
Gov. Geary's chances now appear the best,
the question is yet an open one, and the
Republican party is in no way committed to
a particular candidate. the Demo
crats Gen. G. W. Cass seems now to be
looked upon with the most favor. Asa
Packer s Dame produces no enthusiasm, and
General Hancock having peremptorily de
clined entering into the coming campaign
the contest at present seems to be between
General Cass and General McCandless, with
the tnosi chances in favor of the former.
The Democratic State Committee will meet
here on the 30th of March for the purpose
of fixing the time of holding the State Con
vention It is probable that the Conven
tion will meet in July or August.
THE TAX BILL.
I he Senate has been occupied several ses
sions during the week in discussing a bill to
revise and consolidate the laws of the State
in reference to taxation. It is a very ex
tensive and voluminous bill, comprising one
hundred and forty-one sections; and is de
signed to take the place of all existing State
laws on the aubject. One of tha most im
portant features, which was passed upon
favorably by the Senate, is a proposition to
relcive money loaned upon bonds, mort
gages, recognizances, and other securities,
from taxation. lu New York, New Jersar,
and other neighboring Stages, money thus
loaned is relieved from taxation, and the
result is that many Pennsylvania capitalists
are induced to invest in those States instead
of aiding in building up home institutions.
The whole subject of taxation is a very vex
atious question, and it is impossible to har
monize all the conflicting interests, but this
feature seems to have much about it to
| comuiend.it to favorable considerations.
40TH CON tilt ESS —TiI HID SESSION,
SENATE.
THURSDAY, Fib. 18th. —There was no
business of much importance transacted in
iho Senate on Thursday. During the even
ing session Mr. Ramsey called up the House
bill to restrict and regulate the franking
privilege. Alter some discussion, the bill
i was passed. The Senate bill, to abolish the
; franking privi'ege absolutely on ami alter the

Mr. Butler withdrew his amendment tent
porarily, in order to allow the committee to
vote upon the amendment proposed by Mr.
Dodge t lovta.) It is as follows:

tence and pay departments and such reduc
tion in the other staff departments as the
reduced strcugth of the army may require.
No appointuients shall be made in any grade
until the number of surplus officers required
by consolidation and reduction herein are
authorized. Mr. Butler (Mass,) moved to
amend by adding bis amendment, which
wa agreed to by oue majority. The amend
uient to the bill, as amended, was then
adopted—s7 to 50. Aller some formal
amendments bad been proposed and agreed
to, the committee rose and reported the
bili to the House.
Mr. Blaine (Me.) offered the following
! amendment to the bill:
lit: it further enacted , That the military
force be reduced to twenty regiments of in
fantry, five regiments of cavalry and five
regitnentsof artillery. No new commissions
shall be i—ued in any reeimeot, and the See

iHE AMNESTY PROCLAMATION. —The
Senate Judiciary Committee, to which the
President's message communicating his Am
nesty Proclamation was referred in their re
port concede the right of the President to
grant a reprieve or pardon, but deny that
he is invested wtihany constitutional au
thority to proclaim a general amnesty. The
report concludes with the following resolu
tion.
Resolved. That in the opinion of the Sen
ate the proclamation ot the President of
the United States of the 25th of December.
1868, purporting to grant general pardon
and amnesty to ail persons guilty of treason
and acts of hostility to the United States
during the late rebellion, with restoration of
rights, Ac.. was not authorized by the Con
stitution or laws.
THE New York Times says that private
advices from Paris state, on very poo,) au
thority, that General Dix has received a 1
letter from Gem-rul Grant, in which the
latter says he shall be very happy to contin
ue him in the po-ition of Minister to France
if be desires to retain it, but that General
Dix intends to resign at the opening of the
new administration, as be desires to return
to the United States early in the spring.
WEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA. —The Exec
utive Council of the Philadelphia Board
of 'trade estimate the product in money, of
the coal, iron and oil of this State, for the
last year, at $195,000,000. This is a great
er sum than is produced by all the gold

JETER'S SAR SAP ARIL LA,
|t j FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.
j The reputation thia excellent medicine enjoys,
. ia derived from its eures, many of which arc trujj
j marvelous. Inveterate caaes Ox* Scrofulous <lisea*e>
: where the svstem seemed saturated with corrup
| tion, have been purified and cured by it. Scrofu
j loos affections and disorders, which were aggra
vated by the scrofulous contamination unti' they
were painfully afflicting, have been radically cur
j ed in such great numbers in almost every section
i of the country, that the public scarcely need to be
informed of its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison is one of the moot destructive
enemies of our rare. O.ten. this un.seeu and un
teir tenant of the organism undermines the con
t j stitut.on, and invites the attack of enfeebling or
fatal diseases, without exhibiting a suspicion of its
presence. Again, it seems to breed iufection
: through-ut the body, and then, on some favorable
| occasion, rapidly develops into one or other of its
j hideous forms, either on the surface or
the vitals. In the latter, tubercles inay be sud
f denly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors
; formed in the liver, or it shows its presence by
eruptions on the skin, or feul ulcerations on some
part of the body. Hence the occasional use of a
buttle of this Sartiaparrilla is advisable, even
j when no active symptom; of diiease appear.
> J Person# afflicted with the following complaints
j generally find immediate relief, and. at length,
J cure, by the use °f this SABS A PAR ILL A; St.
\ Anthony * Fire , Hose or Eiysipei&s, Tetter, Salt
| Rheum. Scald Head, Ringworm. Sore Ere#. Sore
j Ears, and other eruptions or visible forms of
s j Scrofulous disease. Also in the more concealed
I forma* as Dyspepsia, Dropsy, lirart Disease, Fits,
| Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and the vaiioas U*eero*s af
! fections of the muscular and nervous systems.
- | Those painful diseases. Rheumatism and 'Scut,
' when cau.- Ed by accumulations of extraneous mat
ters in the blood, yield quickly to it, as also Liver
Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion or tafia mation
of the Liver, and Jaundice, wheß arising, as they
often do, from the ranking poisons in the blood.
This Sarsaparilla is a great restorer for the
i strength and vigor of the system. Those who
j are Languid and Listless, Despondent, Sleepless,
" | and Troubled with Nervous apprehensions or
j Fears, or any of the affections symptomatic of
1 j Weakness, will find immediate relief and convin
? cing evidence of its restorative power upon trial.
