BKBFORD. FA.. FRIDAY. MARCH 11, ISitt
HOW IT WAS DOSE.
Gold ct 112 is good news to almost every
one, except the gold gam blent Every in
telligeat citizen wiU scree that tbw desira
ble condition of our financial affairs has been
brought about by the policy of, no-'; only
promptly paying the interest, but also rap
idly reducing the principal of our national
debt. The most rampant free-trader trill
admit this without hesitation, and applaud
the policy as the best that could DossibJy
have been adopted. But* while he is ap
plan ding the policy be forgets that he ha
been all the while opposing the principal
upon which that policy was based. The
immense revenue necessary to carry oat the
policy of paying off the debt, could only be
obtained by levying heavy taxes upon our
manufactures, and those manufactures could
only be sustained ucder heavy taxation by a
high protective duty upon similar manufac
tures imported. The tariff in itself couM
not have sufficiently protected oar manufac
tures if the gold premium had not also act
ed as an incidental protection. Under th*
combiod favorable influence and protection
of the two, oar manufactures, particularly
of iron and woolen goods were enabled to
bear an extraordinary taxation, and from
them was derived a very large proportion
of the interna! revenue by which we were
enabled to redeem our national credit. The
free trader rejoicing in the prospective
early return of specie payment forget- th_t
he has always bitterly opposed the very
policy by which we have so admirably sis -
taiocd our finances. Without that prole •
tion to our manufacture- the immense reve
nues could never have been obtained and
we could neither bafe subdued the rebellion
n r have raid our debt. Free-trader- to
day are advocating their old doctrines and
endeavoring to destroy this bulwark ef our
national finances. Abolish our protective
tariff to-day, as the free-traders ask, and in
one year the revenue would so fail off that
we wonld not be able next year to pay the
.interest on our debt, much less to pay t'JO,-
000,000 of the princ-pal as we l ave done
the past year. Now if protection gave us
strength and prosperity in time of war, if it
also enabled us to restore out finances from
a condition of comparative bankruptcy
to one of prosperity in tbe short -j ace of a
few years, why are we tailed upon to abol
ish it now? Taat which enables us to pay
our debt and restore our credit should not
be abandoned without good cause. It h.>s
been the source of our safety in the darkest
hours of our country's trial and if continued
will enable us rapidly to pay off our del i
and make our people rich, prosperous ar.d
bappy.
DON'T KNOW THEIR OWN PLATFORM.—
The Democratic members of Congress were
caught napping ?n Monday the 28th uk.,
in a way that does them little credit a- men
of intelligence and principle. Mr Spink of
Dacota, alb publican, offered a resolution
in favor of a tariff fur revenue on foreign
imports that will incidentally protect dome
tic manufacturers, and, without impairing
the revenue, impose the least burdens upon
and best promote and encourage tbe great
industrial interests of the country. An ef
fort was made to table the resolution but
defeated. It was (hen passed by a vote of
101 to 48. It afforded a good deal of tntr
riment when it was announced that the res
olution was a plank of the Democratic plat
form of 18CS. The whole thing was a joke,
aod the cops were qni-e chagrined at the
awkward predicament in which they had
placed themselves. Their knowledge of the
Tariff question must be of a very extraordi
nary character. Do they oppose mea-un s
upon principle or only because Ib publicau
advocate them ? We did tainly hope to
see intelligence enough, and independence
enough among Democratic Congo-- men to
recognixe a plank of their own party plat
form, and vote for it even if it a-off.-red
by a Republican.
CIVIT. SERVICE.— Mr. -T nckes ha- agaio
introduced a Civil S -rviee hill iuto the
House of Repre-er lativcs. It proposes to
appoint a committee to hold office for a spo
oned term, whose duty it shall be to exam
ine all incumbents in office, and ail appli
cants. The only objection to a Civil Ser
vice bill seems to be that it wi : l spoil the
patronage of Congressmen ambitious of re
ti mination. We -inctrely hope that our
< ongressmcn will redeem their character
in this respect and show tltemselves a- earn
est in serving tbe country a- they are in
advancing their own per-onai and party in
terests, and give us a Civii F-rri - hill It
i- high time we abandon the Democratic
programme of rotation in office and appoint
men for fitness and not for favor. Let us
hare the bill forced to a vote and a call of the
jeas and nays. We iike to see the black
sheep. msrV-d.
THE SALE OF CADET-SHIPS -till COMB .. -
one of tbe chief topics of interest in Con
gress. Delinquent Congressmen it; ling
their guilt Lave attempted to escape the
consequences of their guilt by resigning,
hiolladay of Kentucky has just attempted
this dodge, but the Governor has refused to
accept his rc-ignatioß. ar.d demands that he
establish bis inaocense before the Hou-e,
while the House refuses to permit him to
retain bis scat, and the speaker declares hs
is no longer a member. We think he should
b? permitted to return to his seat and then
he ignominious!}- expelled. That would ef
fectually settle his status.
THE NATIONAL DEHT was reduced six
millions, five hundred thousand dollars dur
ing the m >otb of February. The good work
goes steadoy on, in spite of coppierhcad
cries of corruption. The people don't see
the but they can understand
that paying debts is a commendable work,
and are conscqu . tly quite satisfied with
Grant and his administration as long is thev
pay off the debt at the rate of from S9O -

As election for Slate officers took place
in New Hampshire on Tuesday. The Cop
perheads despairing of success in an open
contest, organiz-d a temperance and a labor
reform ticket, hopting with the two to defeat
the regular Republican nominee. As we
go to pre-g there is, as yet, no Dews of the I
result, but it is believed the copperhead ruse j
will fail tr, w ; n .
brn.L DOWNWARD. —Gold closed in New
lork on Monday at H2| with a downward ;
tendency. Many of the business men of the
city senoosly contemplate the resump ior
of specie payments in their regular trausac- !
ttons. It is quite possible that within a
month or two we may * e the glitter and
t,,e j'OJtlv of gold and silver in our daily

WU.4T A YEAR HAS DONE,

pie that the aduiinistratioa of President
Grant has been true toils promises, prudetr
j in its ;K)Jy. and faithfni 10 the perform 3i;:>
| of its manifold duties.
One year ago this day. at nooti, says the
! Pittsburgh tr azette of the 4th iitst. Presi
dent Grant was inaugurated at the Capitol.
One-foc-th of his official term has now ex
pired, b>* n see what his administration
has done, in the faithful elocution of it
great trust!
It has paid off eighty-eight millions c'
dollars of the public debt.
It has largely increased the public reve
ones, Without adding new forms of taxation.
It ha# largely decreased the public expen
ditnres, without detriment to the National
interrsls in any department.
It has advanced the value of our depre
riated currency from 132 to 115. bridging
j over one full half of its margin below the
par of coin
It has brought up the market value of
' tar bonded debt from S6(ffi'Sß to 97(3 par,
J ao-1 even a premium in gold.
It has conducted the finances of the gov
rrament and people, from their former con
lit ion of qualified bankruptcy, to the Ten
j verge of a general specie resumption, and
! this without any crisis or marked public or
| private distress.
' It has completed the radical reconstruc
tion of H the Southern State Govern tueut
j on Republican principles, finally and happi
j !y tranquibzins the peoples lately in armed
rebellion against the Federal authority.
It has restored the full Southern repre
1 -rotation in Congress, with two exception

It ha* assisted in the final establishment
! of that great, cardinal, underlying principle
on which alone free republican institutions
) eao stand —the absolute equality of all men
—citizen# of the republic—in personal and
political rights.
It enters upon its second year, enjoying
the increase i confidence of the American

'"Things have come to such a melancholy

Ha&risbi rg, Pa., March 4. IS7O.
TUE STATE TREASCRY
is -uii the main subject of discus-ion in the
Senate. From present appearances it t
vi.ry doubtful whether any final legislation
of importance wi.l be had on the subject the
present winter. There is a tendency among
c- rain Senators, to embarrass the House
hill by amendment, and thus create a
difference between the two bodies that will
eventually result in the defeat of this
measure. The bill has been up in the
.Senate nearly every day during the last
week, and has been very animatedly dis
cu-sed. but no vote has been takeD in a wav
to indicate the sentiment of the Senate. It
is generally acknowl.dged that some legisla
tion of character if needed, hut the views ot
Senators differ so widely, and each one holds
so tenaciously to his own that there will be
much difficulty in reconciling the conflicting
ideas, acd so much so as to render the
passage of any hill on the subject a matter
of much doubt
THE EI NANCE COMMITTEE
has come to a sudden halt in their inves
tigation into the affairs of the State
Treasury. The Treasurer elect, Mr. I twin,
appeared before the committee on Wtdnes
day erening last. He presented to the com
mittee a paper from the Auditor General
giving the balance in the Treasury as §[,-
135,194, 92, at the close of Irwin g term of
office, which was charged to Mr. Mackey,
by which charge or transfer Irwin's accounts
were closed. He also presented a written
statement, signed by himself, that during
his administration uot a single doiiar of the
public money was lost, and that all the
affairs of bis office was closed up to the en
tire satisfaction of the auditing department
ct the State. He defied any one to make
any charge against him of malfeasance in
office, and to substantiate it with competent
| testimony. \\ hent-ver that occurred he
wc.u',d be ready to meet and refute it, but
nwtil then he did sot recognize the right of
j the committee of the Seoate, or of any tri.
buna! in the land, to call him as a witness
and rxamine him upon any question con
eecu*d with topbttreoMflj orqffieia! iottjgtirjr
Hu eewttW utiarhoutJjr requested Mr.
b: l : • !■*•••!;: an J cXMßtuvd, but ht
p: .ft< : :>• <is t iaed. and U-iui'f
n! good evening left be roogp. Tbh
flank movement by General Irwin was quit*
unexpected on the part of the eosmitttf
and at once put a stop to futhtr proceeding
that n'ght. Kx State Senators KcibWe.
Moote and McGrath hate however been
-uniuioned to appear before the cooitniltcc.
| and I' remain? to'be seen whether they wil
i act a? sen-ibk as General Irwin, or a>d in
; prolonging an investigation that is generals
i regarded as the most srupid kind of a farce.
PROTECTION OF MISERS.
The bill for the better ventilation of
' mints and tie protection of the lives ol
j miners, passed the House during tbe week,
j and is now a law. Tbe bill, as wa
| framed in accordance with the wishes of the
; Miners' Assoeiaffoi, aud grants them all
I 'he legislative protection they have asked.
The measure was vigorously opposed by cer
: tain operators, and Hon. W. W. Ketch urn,
of Luzerne county, has been in Harrisburg
i for sometime to either secure its defeat co
i have it amended so as not to accomplish
j the end desired. The law is very cotr.plett
| m its provisions for the thorough ventila
j tion of mine?, and requires the protection
of miners in .-oca away as to render a
| repetition of disasters like that of Avonda'e
i among the impossibilities,
j TBE GENERAL APPROPRIATION BILL
! has passed the Hou.-e, and is now in the
J hands of the Finance Committee of the
j Senate. A great pressure is being brought
i to lear upon that Committee, as we'd as
I u| the mcmls-rs of the iterate, to make
i some very material modifications, and Leg's
| iattve delegations, from nearly every section
[of the State, have been very plenty in
j Harri-burg during the pa-t week. Until the
i hill is finally di#po scd of it is almost itn
| po-sibie to conjecture what its provisions
| will be when it becomes a law.
I.EUAL RATE OF INTEREST,
j The Senate has defeated tbe bill to make
! the legal rate of interest in this State sevin
j per cenj. Although an efTott vtiil probably
j tie made to reconsider this action, there i>
i not much chance for the bill to pass both
j branches of the Legislature. The proposi
i ion has been before the Legislature each
' -ession for a number of years, but has uui
j 'orm'y met with the same fate.
| HISTORY OF PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEERS.
The first two volumes of this work have
| tx-en published, but the Legislature bas a-
I yet failed to make any provision for their
; distribution. The State Historian is Lard
| at work on the third volume and will have
jit i—md within a£ w months. He e-ti
; mates that a founh volume will complete
; 'he history. A joint committee of the two
j Houses ha.- been pp int.ed to make tome
provisions for di.-tiibut'ng the work, and
their rep>ort will be looked for with con
siderabte interest.
THE DIAMOND AND WATT
conte.-ted election case iu the Senate is still
dragging along Without much prospect of
an early termination. A large mass of testi
mony has been taken, tending to prove such
irregularities in conducting the election in
certain wards that it is likely the entire vote
in several Democratic precincts will be
• brown out. Watt, tbe Republican, feeis
quite confident of retaining his seat.
FINAL ADJOURNMENT
does not appt ar very near at hand. A large
number of important measures arc before
the Legislature, which to dispose of finally
will in all likelihood prolong the session
well into April.
PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATE BE.

Mr. Logan, from the Committee on Mili

if Finn. John T. Peweese, charged wi'h

They, therefore. recommend the adoption of

The testimony of Mr. Bean, of this ci'y,

The New Translation or the Bible.
—Lord Shaftesbury has written a letter to
a London cotcuj| oray on the subject of a
projw.sed translation of the Script urt S>, uu
del the authority of the Bishop* of the Eng

•i'-n to the propo-nl is that the new transla
tion wouid be received with suspicion, or
openly r jeotcd, bv sect- out-ido the Epis

"The English Bible, as altered by the Ri.h

The story runs that a near relative of the

sion, and bearing s c ose resemblance, up
pear* ia place of Napoleon op the lew oc
casions on whieh he is supposed to appear
in put lie. The correspondent sys the plan
originated with the late Emperor who feared
European complications, arid that before
hi*death be received a promise from Eng
land, and it is believed from Russia, that
they would aid in maintaining the Prince
on the throne. The letter gives various
rea-ons for crediting the story, and say* it
explains the recent remarkable change oi
policy on the part of the Freoch Govt.ro

trembled violently, terror and despair being
depicted on bis countenance: and when reply

Mr. Famy. "and in the space of some halt
an hour, his hair which we bad seen to be
