During tho days of Frank Shuttle, mid even up to so Into a data ns 1SC0, there was about tho LcgUlattiro mid public oftlces mill buildings it rcnl effort to econ omist) to eavo money front beliij need lessly expended. Tho smallest nppro prhttion or expenditure of money wits subjected to a rigid scrutiny. Wo refer now to the Legislature, and tho public buildings. That was tho rule, excep tions there may havo been. For the last few years all this is chang ed, tho rule now is to spend ns much as possible, and apparently thoro is no check. Sinco George Darsio left tho Senate, no ono cares enough nbout such matters to pay it any attention. Perhaps, indeed, no ono hat experience enough to do it, even if so disposed. Itepalrs to tho building havo always been done by tho Superintendent alone, usually under the direction of tho Heads of Department, and with nn expendi ture of from throe to eight thousand dol lars, but in 1805 tho Clerk of tho two Houses managed to get general authori ty to make repairs without limit. Tho following is tho result of this kind of Legislature, for 1SGC see Auditor ueiv crals Report. William J. Bteos, Superintendent, for amount for repairs and Improvements to tho public buildings 22,515 O For repairs and Improvements by order of tho Clerks of tho two Houses 13,755 G3 For repalrB and Improvements, not stA- td by whose order 5,512 00 CC0.S14 o: REPEAL IT. We notico that there is a proposition before tho Legislature to substitute some other modo of taxation in lieu of the three mill tax on porsoual property now imposed by tho State. Tho better way would be to repeal the tax altogether, tho money raised by it, about tlireo nun dred thousand dollars, is wholly un necessary. Last year there was on an average over two million seven hun dred thousand dollars of tho State mon ey on deposit in some favorlto bank, out of which somebody mado themselves rich. Even witlt tho present bad man agemeut and shameful squandering of money about tho Legislature, this tax is not required. Wo hope tho Demo cratic members will urge tho uncondi' tional repeal of tho three mill tax on Dorsonal property. Tne Radicals think of nothing but btich legislation as look to their own party projects, and the rights and interests of tho people are wholly disregarded. This tax would havo been repealed years ago had tho Democratic party re ruained in power, they did, in fact, take off a half mill, but it was restored by tho Radicals in 1S01. SUPREME JUDGE. Ve regret exceedingly that Mr. Chief Justico Woodward should have so per einptorily declii.cd to atccpt nnoraina tion for ro-election to tho position lie now so ably and satisfactorily fills. Rut It is so, and tho party must now cast about for some ablo and well learn ed lawyer to take ills place. Every where tho Democrats aro asking for man of ability and character, and whom soever ho may be, ho will receive our support. Tho man of our choico declines in tho outset to let his name be considered in the canvass. Wo shall thereforo trust to tho wisdom, and prudenco of tho Democratic State Convention to give us a tlrst-rato man, and tiiea we shall go in and win. One of the first acts of President John eon, after assuming the duties of the Presidency, was, to discharge our fellow citizens of this county, who wero con fined iu Fort MltUin. He did' thi promptly, among his first acts, and without any solicitation. Ho found the papers relating to tho cases of these men in tho Executive Department, undis posed of, and acted upon them at once His predecessor had pardoned a few upon special applications urgently made to him ; but the general act of justico i discharging innocent men from base mid wicked imprisonment, was reserved for Andrew Johnson. lie did his duty as a true and just man, and many a home was made glad by tho return of victims from a distant Bastllo ! And fur this he will be long remembered with affection and gratitude, by tho men of this county who wero outraged, insulted, and plun dered by tho minions of power.

Thcro havo been quite n number of changes mid enlargements among our Democratic exchanges within the pres ent mouth. ' Tho Patriot and Union, tho central organ ol Democracy of tho State, lias been enlarged and changed front mi evening to a morning paper. Tho Pa triot is a hold and rtblu advocate of tho rigid, nnd we hope tho people of the State may extend to it tho generous sup port it so well merits. Tho Carlislo Volunteer has been en larged and Improved. It is one of the best weekly papers in Pennsylvania, and wo heartily wish our friends Urat- ton and Kennedy tho success they bo well merit. The Sunbury Democrat has changed hands. Truman If. Purdy, Esq., an ablogentleman, well known throughout tho State, retires from tho editorial chair which lie basso ably filled. Messrs. Eicholtz and Anton aro now publish ers of tho Democrat. Mr. Eicholta is from Lancaster. Tho democracy of old Northumberland will no doubt give them a substantial support. Tho Clinton Dcinocrulhns also chang cd hands. J. W. and W. P. Furoy havo taken chargo of It. It lias been very ably conducted heretofore, mid those who succeed Mr. Orth will find it dim cult to excel lilm. Wo aro assured, how ever, that they arc men of the right kind. Success to them. The Columbian, a paper started by tho Johnson men of Columbia County, has changed hands. John O. Ireeze, Esq., is now editor, and he intends to make It a consistent Democratic paper. It i one of tho handsomest papers in the State. Tho Newcastle Gazette, an admirably conducted country newspaper, comes to us enlarged nnd otherwise Improved It looks as if it was flourishing decid- pdlv. tho Indiana Democrat, puoiisnex uy James B.

There may be other changes and im provemcnts which we have failed to notice. Throughout tho stato Demo' cratic Journals seem to bo entering upon the now year with renew ed hope mid ncreased energy. Wo hope mid believe tho masses of tho party will extend to them all a generous support. '1 hey rich' lv deserve it. Lancaster IntcUiyenccr. highway'robbery. - One of the boldest highway robberies on record in this vicinity was commit ted Wednesday evening (Jan. 0th), on tho Wilkes-Barro bridge, within fifty rods of tho court house. Hope's Ex press runs a wagon across tho mile fiat from Kingston to Wilkes-Barro, on tho arrival at Kingston of the train which leaves this city at 4:00 in tho afternoon. Mr. Smith, thoScranton agent, forward ed by that train, on Wednesday, to ono of tho Wilkes-Barro banks, a packago containing $15,000 in U. S. bonds. Other jiionoy packages were forwarded by the Lackawanna & Bloomsburg IX.

When about one-fourth of tho way throut'h the bridge, two men seized tho horses by the heads, while four others, pistol in hand, clambered on tho wagon, and demanded that the E.v pressmen surrender the money and val tiables in their charge on pain of being shot. Ono man attempted resistance, and was severely choked. The other remained quiet, and was not harmed The thieves were all entire strangers to tho Express drivers, and it was dark on the bridge, and the whole affair was over in a few seconds, it is doubtful wheth er the Expres-nnen could Identify either of tho six highwaymen. Some ono of tho four seized the canvass bag contain lug tho money packages, and without tryingtosocurp.any other plunder made off. The Kxprcssmcn mado nil haste in tho opposite direction, and reported to tho agent not more than five or ten min utcs after tho robbery. The agent im mediately employed tho entire polico of tho town, and commenced pursuit was found that tho footpads had turned off into tho fields shortly after leavin tho bridge, and they were tracked to point whero they had emptied the bai and left it behind them.

When constitutional government is In peril there is nlwnys warning of tho mpeudlng danger. A coup d'etat is looked for, mid men forewarned feel yet ns If they wero not forearmed. Tho blow Is struck not by an open enemy; comes front a quarter in which power has been constitutionally placed for tho preservation of tho very Government, 10 destruction of which is compassed, ho safeguards of constitutional liberty are swept away In tho pretended inter ests of tho nation, but really because they stand hi tho way of the man or arty in power. They fear that, their power mid constitutional government cannot exist together, and therefore icy destroy constitutional government. s such a trifle to stand In the way of their great purpo-es? This, as we all remember, was tho way in which Louis Napoleon, President of tho French Re- ubllc, usurped power mid made him self Emperor. Ho was made President because he had persuaded a majority of the French people that ho of all men was best fitted to preserve, protect nnd defend tho Constitutional Government of tho French Republic. Ho mndo lmself tho autocrat of France, and de stroyed its Constitutional Government by sweeping a co-ordinato brancli of that Government out of his path, in tho coup d'etat of the 2d of December. For this kind of political usurpation wo ivc to use a I'rcncli name. Our lan guage, framed by n people in who'-o cradle were the seeds of popular liberty and which advanced steadily to con stitutional government from tho time it eft tho Scandinavian forests, happily 'urnlshes tw with no word.or phrase ex pressive of Just tills action. And yet it would seem that wo have ecently developed a pressing need for soniosuch plirasu in our mother tongue; for few of us aro blind enough not to ec that there is now impending a coup d'etat at Washington. It hangs above our heads at this very moment, and if wo do not lay aside all party hopes mid fears, or in fact ail other considerations, it will fall upon us ns wo aro gazing up on it with stupid and inactive apprc- icnsion. The power by which the exis tence of constitutional government is mperiled jn this country has control of one branch only of our Government. It holds that power as a representative of only a majority of only a part of a na tion. A largo minority of the constitu ents of the very members who at pres ent control tho Legislative branch of our Government are opposed to their action, mid yet must submit, nnd ought tojsuhmlt to that action, so long as it is constitutional. Now, it is tho one car dinal principle of constitutional gov ernment that within tho provisions of tho Constitution tlierightsof minorities as well as those of nitjoritlcs shall be afe. It is chiefly for tho protection of minorities that constitutional' govern ment is established that tho party which for tho time being, lias control of theexectitlveand the legislative branch es of Government may not use its pow er exclusively in its own interests, nnd n tyrannical disregard of tho rights of the minority. Therefore it is that u Constitution declares what the execu tivo and what tne legislative- power may do, and either declares also that they shall not do certain other things, or that they shall do only that for which they receive authority through the Constitution. If this restraint is bro- en through, cither by the executive or tho legislative power, constitutional government is at an end. The imme diate object in view may bo good, but constitutional liberty Is nqno the less destroyed, and the course over its ruins Is made easy for every chief oxecutivo or any legislative majority thereafter. No intelligent and moderately well in formed citizen of this Republic needs to be told that Congress is not supreme, that Congress has no powers hut tho-o derived from the Constitution, that it is tho creature not of tho people directly, but of tho people through tho Constitu tion, and that it may transcend its jut powers as easily as the President can transcend his. From Its nature, its or ganization and its functions, it is tho most powerful branch of tho Govern ment, and is thereforo tho ono to bo most icared; and most jealously watched and rcstalncd. Upon it there aro only two checks ; tho President's veto, which Congress itself can put aside by a two- thirds vote, and tho Supreme Court, which has no control over tho wisdom or patriotism of its acts, but only over their- legality. Imperfect ns thcio checks are, becauso they are Of human contrivance, they have thus far been sufficient, and they would always prove sufficient, for tho security of constitu tional government. Without them, constitutional liberty would not exNt for a year ; but each session of Congress we should be at tho mercy of an Irre pressible majority, which, if neces-ary to its purposes; could declare Massachu setts or Ohio, or both, and New York besides, out of tho Union, which could impeach tho President nt will and sus pend him from his olllco until ho was declared cither Innocent or guilty, It would mako no matter; nnd which could bid tho Supremo Court attend to its own business, and not concern Itself with tho legality of any act done by tho majority. I said this might bo; but it is, except for tho mere formality of a passage by the majority who voted by roll-call, and pas between tellers nfter their leaders llko sheep between gate posts. The purpose of tho majority or present Imperfect Congress, as wo all see, Is to remove tho President, and not only the President but tho Supremo Court out of Its way. Wo sco this, nnd wo look on, in apathy, and go about our money-making, stupidly trusting that no iiarm will come of it, and yet what Is doing is that Constitutional Govern ment is destroyed before our eyes. A bill was brought In by Mr. Williams, of Pennsylvania, which absolutely, Is en titled u bill to "define thu powers of tho biipremo Court" oftliotiupremoCourtl tvliowi powers nro Jrfinvl by tho Con stltutlon, mid tho thief object of ichosc creation teas to define the.poieer of Coif (tress. A more barefaced attempt nt usurpation was never seen; n inoro fa tal blow to constitutional government was never dealt, Yet what may wo not expect when Mr. Wilson reports a bill which declares valid and conclusive certain proclamations and consequent nets which tho Supreme Court can only declare valid? and when Mr. Boutwcll does not hesitate- todeclare, "with strong emphasis," that tho Supremo Court ex ists but by the breath of Congress the Supremo Court, created by tho creator of Congress, to Interpret lis laws anil bo n check upon its action 1 Congress lias no more right to define tho action of tho Supremo Court than to define Its own powers or those of the President. The peoplohaveal ready donoall this through tho Constitution; tho people- may elinnco thtlr definition through tho Constitution. When tho powors cither of Congress, tho President or tho Su premo Court are abridged or enlarged in any other way, constitutional gov ernment Is nt an end, and constitutional liberty lias for tho time, perhaps for ev er, been destroyed. Yet this proposi tion to define tho powers or tlio Supremo Court and to mako a full "bench and unanimity necessary to any decision upon tho constitutionality of the pro ceedings of tho majority in Congies, was not rebuked or laughed down, but actually referred to the Judiciary Com mittee by a vole of 107 to 35. Did it oc cur to these legislators that tho time may not bo far distant when one Judge, perhaps a Taney, may by ids absence delay, or by his obitinanca defeat a judgment upon tho constitutionality Of an act of Congress, which judgment may bo in their opinion of the highest importance-? Or do they mean to say that although a full bench and unani mity are necessary to tho validity of proceedings in tho Supremo Court, the acts of a mere majority of Congress inut bo just, valid, 'constitutional? These things nro dono before us; tho doom of our Government is on tho brink of execution; mid yet we aro quiet! Will nothing rouse us . Aro we as sluggish of apprehension now, on the one hand, n3 we wero before tho rebel lion, on the other? Our Government is in peril now, as it was then ; not of disintegration, but of usurpation tho Usurpation of absolute power by the temporary representatives of a majority of tho people of a part of the country.
