COMMOABLB LEGISLATKW.
Amid the general condemn-ition of rue
Legislature just adjourned it gives us pleas
ure to enumerate a few of its acts for which
it deserves commendation. It passed a
General Registry bill which it i- believed
•n\\\ oiaua tuc ucoi i/r tuc cuutts ®nu j'luaxi
the ballot box from tbe gross frauds t at for
some years have, in many places,almost in . "e
elections a faree, ft ratified the Fifteenth
Amendment for which it deserves ar.d will
soon receive the thanks of the whole country.
It is no small matter to preserve the purity
of the ballot box, the foundation stone of
our whole political fabric an i without which
we should soon drill into anarchy. The
vindication of the equality of all men before
the law is a grand and glorious work in
which any man may ba proud to have taken
part.
In addition to these chief acts, there are
others of minor importance, ye- valnabl •
and worthy of mention among the commen
dable works of our late Legislature. A law
has been passed extending to the Commis
sioners now engaged in preparing the Civil
Code power and authority to make their
work more comprehensive. It i- hoped
that this will enable the Commis doners to
so frame their work as to deliver us fi m
the continually multiplying mass, and ter
ribly corrupting influence, of private leg LI a
tioa. If such should be the result, we will
yet have to thank this legislature, on which
so much abuse hasten heaped, for inau
gurating a reform of those very abuses that
have brought it into such bad repute. It
will not however be the first time good has
been accomplished by evil instrumentalities.
Another law has been passed to protect the
railroads of our eomuionwtahh front the
tricks of stoek gamblers' combine don-. This
may be of more doubtful utility for in some
respects our railroad corporations .ire the
worst enemies of the people. A law has
also been passed making parties to suit* wit
nesses in their own eases. Upon the
utility of this there is much diversity of
opinion, though the system has been found
to work well in other states in spite of the
apparent inducement given to perjury. The
law can at lea-t be tried as an experiment
audit it proves unsatisfactory can be re
pealed. These are tbe most important
general laws pas-ed for which the Legisla
ture deserves credit; Tkc greater portion
of its time ha- bee i devoted to special and
private legislation and it is in il,;.- depart
ment that corruption gtt.-uti'.y runs iiot. If
mean-are ones devised , -i ilx of the
mass of this cla -of ea .by the mr -, oa
great -ource of wrong, annoyance, and cor
ruption will l>e removed and the ef fractor
of our Legislature re ie.-ui <l.
A CoTEMI'OKAUY aptly say- : Til. re is a
certain system needed in ad.eiti.-i; .. which
every bu-iness man should ex'trcise, who
desires to street. To tli's class we tve Id
say that what vt-r ycur good- - , v.are or mer
chandise may be. reinem! • r that system,
preaervance and success ... hand in hand.
If you are to introduce an article of value or
nece-sity to would be customers, it cannot
be done by u .-ingle medium. There nre
many who, regarding one trial sufficient,
fold their lisnds after iis accomplishment
aim wonder thai -■> ill tic satisfaction is at
tained thereby. In such cases the fault is
invariably with the adveitiser. lbs must
keep himself before the people, not only this
mouth or this year but , t-r when
the season for hi- busiui - comes around-
Pursuing this eours -. sue. ,-s is as certa-u as
the revolutions of the earth. Above all
don't be spasmodic, but regarding this like
any other branch of bu-ine-.-, treat it as
such. . Every prominent advertiser will
testify to the truth of these renn 1,, and
furthermore they will tell you it wiil re
do to stop. Constant effort is required here
a - elsewhc-re, and they who fail to observe
the rale will learn its truthfulness by tad
experience and at their own cost. Never
withdraw from the eyes of custom 1 - tire
bc.-t and most effective sign you cmi put
there. If you do they will be attracted by
I hat of another, and soon forget both you
and your wares.
SPRING seems to have come at last. For
several day* past the weather ba- been clear
and warm and the balmy air assures u- that
a last old winter has cone, though he lin
gered long, hinging birds and green fields
arc now the order of the day. Farmers are
occupied with their Spring crops and the
Milage gardens are the scenes of busy
preparation for planting the esculent vege
tables that shall delight u- with their cool

days of summer came. .May all be delighted
with their .abors, and Lies-ed with abundant
crops.

THE extra rasters and folders are to be j

i HE I.AI'E LEGISLATPBE.
As so; >e of our friends have thought us
tine, essarily severe upon some of the acts
of the Legislature just adjourned, (we say
rule be.; 01 e we have censure 1 no one man.)
we d m it it well to lay before them the
.•onnnents of some of our cotemporaries on
tlie same subject. The Slate (luard of the
17th says ;
Yesterday at twelve /dock, both branches
of the Legislature adjourned sine tlie. after
what is popularly supposed to have been a
se-sion of threi months and sixteen days,
but what was really one of not more than
sixty days, counting eight ..ours as a days
work.
On ail sides, by men of ail parties, and in
all circle.-, it. is freely admitted that the
Legislature of 1869 was the most venal and
con apt body of tuen that ever sat in dclib
ration in the State Capitol. We do not
11 t 'U'l to say there aie not Senators and
II -p;e ntatives who are above and beyond
the influence of bribes for votes for filthy
and di.-iione.-t legislation, but we do assert it
feeling it to be our solemn duty to give the
people warning on the dangers of sending
ignorant and dishonest men to the L gisla
ture, that it will not require five years of re
peated sessions like the one just closed to
t nkrupt the Commonwealth, bind its labor
ing energy at the feet of tyrannical corpora
tions, invert individuals with special privi
leges to bold and control the resouiees of
the Commonwealth against the welfare and
in' rest of the great mass. Anything that
had mancv in it, hnwavor unfair, disgrace
tui and destructive it might be, could be
embodied in the shape of a bill and passed,
while anything which could not be manipu

fair, or absolutely necessary it was, for the

I sregard their hate and indignation if wc
c-i.n < .m ince the people of the necessity of
ebctiug honest men to tl e Legislature.
V> bat wc thus make public, is but the repe
tition of v. r r.t was daily avowed in this city
by nu n of character and by legislators of
i rtcst. reputation. No two intelligent men
ever attempted to canvass the merits of
i.l s without agreeing in the main fact that
1 .'rej ti-in ruled the hour; the journals of
f'/'niudelphia and Pittsburg daily charged
dishorn -ty in connection with measures be
lore both Houses, and now the publie have
the foes that reform is necessary to save not
only the honor ol Pennsylvania, but to pro
t a the ordinary rights of even the bumb
■ t citizen from usurpation by some act of
outrage on the part of corrupt legislators.
—Wc repeat pur declaration that a more
hshonc t and corrupt legislative body, tlian
that just adjourned, never occupied the
Capitol of Pennsylvania.
Theodore Tilton having paid a flying visit
to the Legislature a few days ago speaks of
it in the Independent of the loth, as fob
lows ;
fn our travels we have visited many leg
ally; but we have never heard such an in
cessant buxi of Babel in any other so calico
1' . .atiw body as iti the Pennsylvania
lloase of Representatives. But the chief
disug.-i oaliencss of the spectacle was the
notifi able !->ok of inferiority which a large
majority of the members wore on their
fix es. Never before have we seen so squal
id an array of low-brows grouped together
in any one legislative chamber, not even in
Albany. Solid Pennsylvanians say freely
and with many interspriokled damnations)
that tho present legislature is the most cor
:upt that ever preyed upon that bleeding
commonwealth. M e lake no part in this
accusation cot merely because we cannot
- instantiate the authenticated facts, but be
cause men may have bad looking faces wi,li
mit having ill-meaning hearts. Far be it
from us to insinuate that the Pennsylvania
legislature is corrupt; wo simply mem to
characterize it as tho nao.-t su. jiicious look
ing jiublic body we ever taw. After sitting'
an hour among the sorrow stricken specta
tors, we returned joyfully to the fresh air.
tho biuo sky, the singing birds, and the
common people. And we soliloquized as
follows ; "What a country is ours ! God's
bounty is lavished upon it, Nature's smile
daily glorifies it, and even man s misgoveni
usent is not able to ruin if."
\V e have felt it our duty, though a disa
greeable one, to censure some of the doings
of the legislature, but not with such sweep
ing condemnation as the above. While
there have undoubtedly been bad and cor
rupt men as there always are and always
wul be, thare.fcavealso been many good and.
pure and honest men in the Legislature, and
while it is the habit of some to condemn
each successive Legislature as the worst
ever known, we find that these nearest and
most accessible to the Legislature always make
their ebargee genera! and never name the
moil who are venal and corrupt. Let us
have their names and their evil deeds and
iv,; are quite certain they will never be re
inrncd. The people at large cannot judge
from general charges who arc guilty or who
;.:c innocent and arc naturally inclined to
believe their own representatives innocent
until their guilt is proven. Give the peo
ple the (acts and we arc quite sure they will
nut return a corrupt man.

LETTER FROM IIARRISBURti
II.VRIUBBI.KO, IV, April, 17, 186' J.
AS ATTEMPTED OUTRAGE.
One of the most infamous and powerful
combinations that has attempted to rule
legislation here for many years has been
hanging like an incubus over the capitol for
the past week. The movement was com
menced in the House on Monday night and
took the form of an amendment to the gen
eral tax bill. The object was to remove the
present tonnage tax from railroad corpora
tions and impose a tax of one-fourth of a
cent per gallon on crude petroleum, two
cents per ton on anthracite coal, and five
cents per gallon on distilled, spirits. Ihe
tonnage tax now amounts to about four
hundred thousand dollars per annum, and
it is estimated that this change would yield
a revenue of a million dollars per year. The
proposition originated with the State 1 rca--
ury ring and the railroad monopolies, and
was intended, on the one hand to bring
funds into the Treasury for private specula
tion, and on the other to relieve a class oi
i corporations from taxation that are most
able to bear it. The effect of imposing such
a Durum upon me lauusimi interests or me
Commonwealth, would bo disastrous in the
extreme, and would terribly cripple the
development ol cur uatural resources. The
measure passed the House, and a most de
termined effort Las been made during the
entire week to force it through the Senate.
The storm of iudignatinn that was raised
was, however, too great for Senators to re
-ist, and ibis bold and iniquitous proposi
tion has failed to receive the concurrence of
the Senate.
APPROPRIATION BILL.
The general appropriation bill was on
Thursday voted down in the Senate by 22
ayes to 10 nays. Ail the Democrats and
seven of the Republicans voted against the
bill as it come from the hands of the com
mittee of conference. The principal points
of .objection were the insertion of the provi
sion allowing compensation to the twenty
seven additional officers ol the House, and
the striking out of the Senate amendment
directing the employment of the surplus
funds in the Treasury to anticipating the
payments on the public debt. The Gover
nor positively declared he would not call an
extra session if the bill failed, and the
House was equally determined that its ex
tra officers should be paid. The only alter
native left was for the Senate to re consider
its action, which was done on Friday and
the hill passed by a vote of 17 to 10. All
the Republicans except Messrs. Billingfelt
and Graham voted for the bill, and all the
Democrats voted against it except Mr.
Jackson.
The following arc the most important
items of the bill;

Commonwealth, $.'>.500; Deputy Secretary

delphia, $5,000; State Hospital for Insane
at Danville, SIOO,OOO. The aggregate
amount appropriated by this bill, as near as
can now be ascertained, is $4,097,010.
Notwithstanding all the efforts at retrench
ment and reform the total amount is about
the same as it has been for the past two
years.

Woman Suffrage
BOSTON April 14. —The Legislative com
mittee on woman suffrage was addressed ti
day by Rev. James Freeman and Hon
George P. Hoar, of Worcester. Mr. Clark
argued strongly in favor ofuniversal suffrage
as an expression of popular opinion and as t
right of all men and women. Our govern
nient was founded on principles of equality,
and if these principles are worth anything
they included women. Mr. Hoar claimed
that after bestowing suffrage on the colore-.;
race it was well to turn attention to the on
j franchisensent of women, who constitute-!
I half the population of the country. Ha die
uui u„U...otau.l that tlie right to vote in
• volved the right to office, but if it did, n\
; person who had time and inclination to
| serve the country might be elected format
purpose if the electors chose. The framer.
of the Constitution did not prohibit an
amendment of that kind. The apeakei
thought woman had the welfare of theoun
try at heart, and her intellect and eduiation
rendered her capable of judging of the pro
priety of measures as well as men.
REORGANIZATION OF THE JUDICIAL.—
Under the new law reorganizing tbejualciarj
system, the appointment of ten or twelve
judges of the highest class is devolved upon
President Grant. The campaign for th
places having already begun, the New York
Tribune hastens to enter its protest Or
dinary office hunting is had er.ough. lut let
us have some places left that are to be filled
not because the candidates have hunted
them down, Lut because the offices .-e<k the

Judge' at liberty, under the law, to retire
on full pay. will embrace the opportunity,
and there being already one vacancy; wc
shall thus have two places on the Supreme
Bench to he tilled, besides the whole Ist ol
Circuit Judges. The choice of these men
determines, in considerable measure,' the
character ot'our higher judiciary for almost
a quarter of a century. General Grant has
no duty to perform that requires more care
ful and deliberate consideration.
Fire at Shippcnsburg.
SHIPPENSBURO, PA., April is.— A tire
broke out here last night, at 12 o'clock, re
suiting iu the destruction of considerable
property. It originated iri the stable of Dr.
Stewart, which communicated to the Sher
man House stable, both of which were en
tirely destroyed. The Cumberland Valley
railroad depot, adjoining the latter stable,
took fire and was mostly destroyed. The
News printing office, located in the second
story of this building was much damaged in
presses and material. The Sentinel print
ing office was badly l-urncd in the upper
stories. The total hi - will probably amount
to $15,000, fully insured. The Nics and
Sentinel offices will hi; removed to tempora
roouis. Ihe fire is believed to have been
the work of an incendiary, as it broke out
in a bay mow of Dr. Stewart's stable.

If there is to beany watering of the original
fluid they prefer to have the cxten-i n

ers have a highly innocent way of plead

the watering to some person or persons in
previous possession. A new law has just
been passed to meet the case of these g< n
tlem- n. If they sell watered milk they
are to lie fined, whether they knew thai
the water was in it or not. This seems
rather hard upon injured innocence, but
injured innocence must be careful wbcu it

those who cannot tell a pump from a cow.
A n Rio us LAWS ITT was lately brought
before an English court, in which the
rights of her Majesty's lat .subjects were
humorously involved* It was an attempt
to compel a Lady Glamis to make a certain
public passage on her property wide
enough to admit very stout people. An
arbitrator decided that the lateral dimen
sions of a heavy dowager would require
three feet two inches, but Lady Glamis
contended that thirty-four inches was quite
wide enough. Lord Chief Justice Cock

the greater width.

A YER S CATHARTIC PILLS.
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A LAXATIVE
MEDICINE.
Perhaps no one medicine is so universally re
quired by everybody as a cathartic, nor was
ever any before so universally adopted into use,
in every country and among all classes, as this
mild hut efficient purgative Pill. The obvious
reason is, that it i- a more reliable and far more
effectual remedy than any other. Those who hare
used it, know that it cured them; those who have
not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends,
and ail know that what it does once it docs ai
ways--thit it never fails through any fault or
neglect of its composition. We have thousands
upon thousands of certificates of their remarkable
cures of the following complaints, but such cures
are known in every neighborhood, and we need
not publish them Adapted to oil age* and con
ditions in all climates; containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, they may be taken with
eafety by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves
them ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take,
while being purely vegetable no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate
it into healthy action—remove the obstructions
A the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of
the body, restoring tbeir irregular action to
health, and by correcting, wherever they exist,
uch derangements as are the first origin of die-
Base.
Minute direction* arc gi\eu in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which these
Pill* rapidly cure:
For Dypepsta or Indigestion, LUtfasne**, Lan
guor aud Loss of Appetite, they should be taken
modorately to stimulate the stomach and restore
its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Complaint aud its various symptom?,
Bilious Headache, Sick Headache, Jaundice or
Green Sickness, Bilious Colic and Bilious Fevers,
they should be judiciously taken for each case, to
correct the disease ! action or remove the obstruc
tion? which cause it
For Dysentery or Diurrhtc, but one mild dose
is generally required.
For Rheumatism, Gout, Gravel, Palpitation oj
the Heart, Pain in the Side, Back aud Loins, they
should be continuously taken, as required, to
chaDge the diseased action of the system. With
Bach change these complaints disappear.
For Dropsy and Dropsical Steel lings they should
ho taken in large and frequent dose? to produce
the effect o! a drastic purge.
For Suppressions a largo dose should be taken
as it produces the desired effect by sympathy.
As a Dinner Pill, take one or two I'iils to pro
mote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restore? the appetite,
and invigorate? the system. Hence it is often ad
vantageous where no serious derangement exists,
line who feels tolerably well, often finds that a
dose of these pills makes liim feel decidedly bet
ter, from their cleansing and renovating effect on
the digestive apparatus.
