This subject is attracting the attention of the New York Legislature, and a proposi tion has been vigorously pressed to pass laws which would remedy the grievance complained of. It is asserted that the New Y'ork Central railroad charges more for the transportation of goods to points within the State than to western cities. Thus the charges from New York to Oswego, a dis tance of 327 miles, is 55 cents per one hun dred pounds; while the charge toCincinnati, a distance of 888 miles, is only 50 cents. Other instances aro given of similar dispari ty and a strong effort will be made to pro hibit the above mentioned pratices. Tic matter of competing through freight is one that requires great care in its arrangement —but it will be seen that complaints on the subject are not confiued to any one State. We clip the above from an exchange. It is a statement of facts that will apply to every through line of railroad in the coun try. Pennsylvania has suffered from such outrageous injustice for years. Iler chief railroad, built at the expenses of her people and tostercd by special legislation, show its gratitude, by levying oppressive taxes upon the people who gave it being and the state that nurtured it to strength and ad vanced it to power. It is a hopeful sign of the times when the people begin to feci the chafing of their fetters. It indicates that a day of reckoning is coming. It cannot come too soon. THE CUBAN REVOLUTION is far from being crushed yet notwithstanding the exer tions of the Spanish authorities, la fact the cruelties of the Spanish officials is not only goading the revolutionists to great r efforts but also exciting for them the active sympathies of other nation - A l-' entitusiastic meeting was lieid in Now York a few days ago at which Horace Greeley, Henry YV ard Beechcr and a number of other distinguished men and active philan thropists spoke words of encouragement and cheer for the struggling Cubans. They have already been receiving arms and am munition from abro.* i and will doubtless continue to receive not only arms and am unition but men and money notwithstan ding the vigilance of the Spanish officials. A short time ago between 300 and 4'lo political prisoners were sent to the penal station ofFernands Po, on the West Coast of Africa almost immediately under the Equator, wher- A speedy death from disease is almost a certainty. This and other acts of almost barbarian cruelty will soon raise up hosts of sympathizing friends for the Cubans in every christian land, and public sentiment will soon demand their recogni tion as belligerents, which will greatly im prove their prospects of ultimate success in throwing off the Spanish toko. PAYING THE PASTERS AND FOLDERS. — The appropriation bill has been up for several days in the Legi-lature and the paying of the Pasters and Folders swindle is now to be settled. W'c hope the Senate will stand firm and keep in session unti next year this time rather than pay the-e whelps a single dollar. We hope 100 that when it comes to voting both in the Senate and House that honest men enough will lie found to defeat any attempt to obtain pay for these hangers-on. Let us hate the yeas and nays and put every man on the record and let every one who dares to vole for the swindle go home to his constituents with his record. The Pennsylvania Legislature iB already a synonym for infamy and is only surpassed in this respect, by the New- York City Government. THE British Government has at last ad mitted the right of expatriation. The value of American Naturalization will soon be admitted by all the world. The separation of Church and State in the British Empiie is also progressing; the disestablishment in Ireland is the first step, it will not be long until it reaches England. America leads I the world's vn in jirogrcssivcness. A LUCKY INFANT. —The miner.- in theNe j vada Y\ hite Pine region presented the first i born baby in the diggings with silver bar.- wortn several thousand dollars. Quite a i start in the world. It is good to be born, j as the phrase is, "with a silver spoon in the mouth," but better, we think, as far as value is considered, with a silver bar or : several of them, in that natural cavity. THE Public Debt was reduced over five and a half millions of dollars during the month of March. THE uo.vNutm i T ELECTION. On Monday the State election was held ill Connecticut and the latest returns as we 1 go to press indicate a Republican victory. The candidates for Governor and Congress are: GOVERNOR. James E.

The Democratic , candidate English is very popular and it was scarcely expected that we could carry the Btate against him. The Legislature is sure to be Republican and will ratify the fifteenth amendment. OTic Jlminim: JOHN LUTZI Editor and Proprietor. [From our own Correspondent.] LETTER FROM IIAIt(tISBUUG HARRISBURG, Pa., April, 3, 1809. MEETING OF THE STATE CENTRA I. COMMITTEE. Pursuant to a call of the chairman, Hon. Y\ . A. Wallace, the Democratic Stat: Centra! Committee met at the Bolton House in this city on last YY cdnesday evening tor the pur pose of deciding upon the time and place of holding the State Convention. The occasion called here many of the most prominent Dem ocrats in the State, and the representation in the committee was full. There was not much diversity of opinion as to the time of holding the Convention, all being in favor of a late meeting. The time finally fixed upon is the 14th ot July, and the place at Harrisburg. No action was taken to get an expression from the Committee as to their preference of candidates for Governor, although there was a tree cschange of sentiment on the subject. The names most prominent? mentioned were Judge Asa Packer, Gen. Wm. McCandles and Gen. George W. Cass. p.EnccTiox or KXI-EXSES OK ADMINISTRATION. The Committee on Retrenchment and Re form in the Senate, through the chairman. Mr. Rillingfelt, have made a lengthy report containing a few valuable suggestions, and many that are quite otherwise. The Com mittee recommend an adherence to the law of Inst year fixing the number and pay of the officers of the Legislature. That law having been framed so as to discriminate much in fuTor of the Senate as compared with the House has not stood the test ot practice and has already been repealed in n number ol particulars. The committee also recommend i the abolishment of the so called "franking ' privilege"; but if the people require and de ■ ire, as lLey doubtless do: public documents, ii seems proper for the State to pay the ex pense of pottage. Another proposition is to divide the clerka in the several departments into three classes with graded ralaries. The re; o; t as a whole is a "white wash" concern, and verifies the truth of the adage of taking | i i at the spigot and letting out at the bung : hole. A bill has been introduced to carry ■ out the recommendations of the committee, but there is no probability of its passage. RATES' HISTORY. The history of the Pennsylvania Volunteers now being prepared by Professor Lemuel P. Bates, Btate Historian, baa been a subject of no little discussion during the present ses sion. The question was pretty iully debated in the Senate during the week, and resulted in striking from the appropriation bill the salaries of Mr. Bates and h's clerks. This is 1 considered as virtually abolishing that De partment and stopping the further publica tion of the work so far as the temper of the Senate is concerned. The five thousand cop ies of the firit volume issued about the open ing of the session still remain in the bands of the State printer. Unless the Senate recedes from the ;>osition it ha 3 taken, and the indi cations are that it will not this history is like ly never to be finished under the present ar rangement. THE GENERAL APPROPRIATION BILL has at length passed the Senate. Many of the provisions are very materially altered from what they were when the bill passed the • .v, fun amtliu ments of the Senate has been to reduce the appropriations, although an increase has been obtained in some instances. The appropria tions to charities are comparatively small in contrast with what they have been some years. The salaries of members of the legis latin# are fixed at one thousand dollars, and those of most of the officers remain as deci ded by the law of last year. The additional twenty seven officers of the House are unpro ! vided for, the Senate having struck out that i portion of the bill making provisions for their pay. The differences between the two j Houses are wide and will be difficult to rec- I oncile. The principal items will be given when the bill becomes a law. THE DEDICATION OF THE MEXICAN MONUMENT I which bus been announced to take place on ! the 26th of May has been indefinitely post | poned. The reasons assigned are various. Some of the Harrisburg papers have stated | it was owing to a disaster btfallirg the vessel | that was to bring the statnte from Jtaly. A circular issued by a Committee having the ' matter in charge says it is for reasons beyond their control. Senator Fisber, on the floor of the Senate assigned the cause to be a want j of liberality on the pait of the Legislature to j appropriate sufficient funds. Those interest ed can take a choice of the reasons given. I The postponmcnt will, however, be a disup pointment to a large number of organizations throughout the State that had made arrange ments to attend. THE INFAMOUS CATTLE RILL !a*t night passed the Senate and it is under I stood will , ess the House to-day. The bill j require* all cattle, sheep, hogs Ac., sent to the Philadelphia market to be driven to a certain yard a.id there be inspected marked and ! weighed. The persons seeking this monopo ly it is estimated will derive a revenue from it of from two to three hundred thousand dol lars a year with no corresponding benefit to any one. On the contrary it will very mate rially increase the price of meat to the con i suiner and lessen the moderate profits of the producer. For six or eight years an effort has been tr.nde to gat this bill through without success. That members have been as deliber ately bought as cattle in the market to favor this bill is a fact beyond dispute ! If this bill becomes a law it will set the seal of infamy ' upon the present Legislature too indelibly to be ever erased. LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.—A rather ex- ! traordinarv marriage took place at York, j Fa., on the 25th u!t The bridegroom is j in the sixties and the bride over one hun dred years old. The parties never saw ! i each other but once before the day of marriage, and it might be called a case of j ' pure love at first sight. The bride is a : popular personage where she resides. Many ; of the most prominent persons of York have 1 | called to pay their respects, making the j aged pair presents, da. She says no more ' hardships now for her. She will live the new life_ which she has so auspiciously be- j gun, with comfort and ease—leaning on j the strong arm of a doting and loving husband for support and consolation in all her troubles and trials. The following is i the marriage notice : On the 25th ult., by Iter. N. S. Buck- ' ingham, Mr. THOMAS CROMWELL of j i Chambersburg, and Mrs. ESTHER OLIVER. alias Esther Coal yard, ot York, Pa.

LOUIS, April 2.—The latest news I from Fort Ellis represents the recent fight j with the Indians there as being a desperate affair. The Indians engaged were" Sioux, i i'hey had splendid animals and fought bravely, capturing a large number of cattle on Shields river. Our force being small, had i : to retreat with loss of two men, who were ' horribly scalped A. Mr. Tiscan was attacked by fifteen Indians seventy-five miles from Fort Howe, and, with a revolver, defended ' himself, killing four redskins and wounding ! one. He escaped unhurt. 1 \ ITEMS. A SINGULAR STORM. —A curious phe nomena occurred in Bethel, Maine, last | Sunday night. A damp snow fell in the 1 evening, which was followed by a powerful , I wind that rolled it up into balls frequently s | as large as a four gallon keg. Hundreds of . j them were counted in a tingle field, Pro { 1 fessor Cleveland described a similar phe , | nomenon that occurred about the year 1807, when the balls were as large as a barrel, I TIIERF. now appears to be but little doubt i that the Duke of Bloctpcnsier will be chosen ; King of Spain. He is the fifth son of : Philippe, formerly King of the French, and ! was born at Neuilly, near Paris, in 1824. His father married him, in 1840, to the i Spanish Princess Louisa, the sister ol Queen f Isabella 11., and at the same time brought : about the Queen's marriage to her cousin, Francis of Assisi. It was hoped by Louis ■ Philippe that, if Isabella proved childless, ' the Duke's children would inherit the Span ish throne; but, although Isabella had quite children enough, it is probable that not only the heirs of Montpcnsier, but thePukehim | self will wear the coveted crown. Kings can I calculate no better than common people. THE ATLANTIC Another reduc , tion in the rates charged by the Atlantic cable is announced. The reduction which , | it is reported the directors have resolved [ j npon making, is to take effect on June Ist. . | The contrast between the price of the rucs i • sages asked three years ago and the rates i now to be charged, is very startling. At 1 first the rates for a message of ten words r of five letters each from New York to London, payable in gold, were SIOO, next , SSO, next $23, and finally sl7. A change was then made in the character of the nies > sages, and no restriction was placed upon 1 the number of letters in each word. - Though the rate of sl7 in gold was un > changed, yet the new regulation was more ' than equivalent to a reduction of one third 1 in the price. The new rate, which it is reported will go into effect on Juno Ist, is ' $lO. AN ARGUMENT FOR ANNEXATION.—A leading hanker and broker in Montreal re cently stepped across the frontier into the j. United-States with SBO,OOO of hiscustirocr's money. As his case is only one of breach I of trust, the extradition treaty does not I apply to him, and lie will be left to enjoy his , plunder here in peace. According to the , Courier dei Etats Cut's such exploits by Ca nadians occur very frequently, and it as . cribes the cause to '"the neighborhood of . the United Sates, which, besides commtmi . eating the fever of speculation, offers the . facility of passing from one country to an f other when necessity requires." It reccm • mends as a preventive an amendment to the treaty, but one more effectual would be the annexation of Canada. In that event Canadians would be citizens, and could seek in the civil courts at least the res toration of their stolen property, if they could not put the thieves in prison. ADVICE TO LADIES. —An exchange gives the aniif.T.'il . V— i what temptations to petty fraud you offer to clerks and cash boys, in retail stores, by putting your change in your purses without counting. It is not more ladylike or grand, but simply more silly, in nothing worse, to affect indifference to the correctness of a business transaction, even a small one. This counsel is suggested by the writer having seen one of (he little "cash" boys in a Broadway store slip a part of the change into his pocket on his way from the cash . ier's desk to the lady customer, who, 1 te , grcttcd to notice, put the rest into her purse without the least examination. A propper caution on her part might possibly have saved that boy from ruin. THE STORKS AND SPRING.— An English sporting journal announces the appearance of a flight of storks, and hence argues that spring has come. The migration of these birds is generally considered as a sure sign of the change of the season, but the storks ! are sometimes mistaken. Thus, in 1625. the winter continued very mild until the end I of February, and clouds of storks arrived and i established themselves near Tours, in France, i Their return was regarded as a happy omen, ! but unfortunately a bard frost set in and las ted all through March. The same mistake was made by the birds about one hundred years afteiward?, when they returned one month before the snow disappeared. Storks arc regarded in France with almost supersti tious reverence, and boxen are placed in the trees for their habitation. The male and i female storks pass their winters on the | banks of the Nile, but return to their old box. The young bird-'are sometimes tamed I and kept in the house through the winter, | where they remain all the year through on j familiar terms with the inmates. EMIGRATION TO THE SOUTH.— The New • ; York World of Friday says: A large number of foreign emigrants have left this city with in the last few ciavs to try their fortunes in the South. The steamship Saragossa, which left yesterday for Charleston, had a , good number on board bound for the neigh borhood of Charleston, Columbia, and other places through South Carolioa. They had j only arrived in this country the day tcfosc, j either in the Westphalia, from Hamburg, j or Minnesota, from Liverpool and Queens toWD, and must, therefore, have been for : warded by one of the many emigration com panies now organizing in the State. The greater number of these people were Ger j mans, the remainder Irish, English and French ; but all were young, and looked I hearty and strong—the women as well as | the men—and bore all the marks of country j life on their checks, and of being used to farm and other work in their strong and well developed limbs. They seemed , to appreciate the novelty of all about them, a short glance at which their tran i slent visit only allowed them to take. A number of friends from the other emigrants of the European ships ae j cotnpanied them to the pier, and repeated j the adieus they had all but lately received !in the old country. On board the steamer there was also a very fine fire engine, in j tended for one of the oldest fire companies in the I nited States —the Eagle Company, of Charleston, which was organized in 1818 and incorporated in Shipping mcr ! chants and others say that since the close of the war there had not been such signs of a coming good year for trade in the South as within the last week or so. Every steamer going southward i 3 loaded with as much freight as she can carry, and even cabin ! passengers are also plenty, notwithstandine that the present is about the season when this class of people go North instead of South, in consequence of the approaching ' warm weather.

Twit, lie!! l it the city un der circumstances which would appear to lend countenance of truth to the arraign ment of her husband for the murder cf Mrs. Hill. i About a week ago she visited the con , detuned man in his cli for the List time. .She then had a convert irion with the if v. Mr. Kringhnrst, in the course of which she 1 manifested the liveliest concern as to wheth ei her husband had said anything to her , spiritual advisers which would Implicate Lei in the murder. She inquired espo daily if Twitched had made any statement about the crime. Mr. Bring' ur-t responded that he had. Tlum the wife inquired if h • had made confession, t to which she again received an affirmative response. Mrs. Twitcbeli t! n inquired if her hus band had made any statement concerning herself in cwir.coti. ;i with the murder, to which she likewise received an affirmative response. "Yes.'' said Mr. Bringhurst, "he has 1 told trie all about it." "Then," exclaim.d Mrs. Twitchcl!, "he is a vidian—the greatest vidian on the face ol the earth." 1 She then directed her inquiries title day of execution, asking if Twitched intended to make any statement, or. the scaffold. She was assured by Mr. Bringhur-t that he intended to do so. This brought out the inquiry as to whe li er any new-paper > porters would be pres ent, and when sli • was told that would he the case, she exchduicd : "That would be bad." Since the day on which this conversation occurred, Mrs. Twitched has not been near the cell of her husband, and this morning she left the city for paits unknown. .Minnesota's Greatest .Marvel.

Perhaps no one medicine is so universally re quired hy everybody as a cathartic, nor was ever any befure so universally adopted into use, | in every country end among all classes, as this mild but efficient purgative Pill. The obvious reason is, that it is a moro reliable and far uiore effectual remedy than any other. Those whohave used it, know that it cared them: those who 1, ive not, know that it cures tbeir neighbors and friends, and all know that what it does once it does al waya- -that it never fails thr.agh any fault or neglect of its composition. Wc have thousands upon thousands of certificates of remarkable , cures of the following complaints, but each cures are knos n in every neighborhood, and we need i not publish them Adapted to all ages and con . ditione in all climates; containing neither calomel nor any deleterious drug, they may be taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar CO 1 ting preserves tbeni ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take, while being puroly vegetable n , harm can arise i from their umi in any quantity, j Tbcy operate- by their powerful influence on the [ internal viscera to purify ih© Mood anl stimulate j it into healthy uett'jn—remove the obstruction* J of the stomach, bowels.

An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite, and invigorates the system, Hence it is often ad vantageous where no serious derangement exists. One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a dose of these pills makes him fuel decidedly bet lf-r i from their cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive apparatus. DN. .7. C.
