In Maiuc tho temperance people are going
back to the old "moral suasion" plan of at
tack upon alcohol, after vainly trying the
enforcement plans for twenty years. Tho el
der portion of people hero will remember
how much was accomplished by the old plan
of holding public meetings signing pledges,
&c, and how little has been effected by the
other plans since that was abandoned. Vol
untary action is both the popular and tho
effectivo mode of accomplishing any reform
in a free country.
Th European news of the week are not
important. The French Assembly is making
progress in constructing a government, but
as no party has a majority tho machine does
not promise to bo of the most consistent
workmanship. Except .in name thero will
be littla of Republicanism about it.
The entire army f the new King, Alfon
so, it moving against the Carlist positions in
Spain and decisive results may be looked for.
The Turks and Montenegrins havo been
compelled to settle their difficulty, a war in
that quarter not being convenient for the
leading European powers.
State Superintendent of Fukl'c Schools'.
It is a noticeable fact that during tho forty
years of our present School System no one
from We-tern Pennsylvania has filled the
office, of State Superintendent. PitUburg
Poll.
The Pott is certainly in error. James
Fmdly was the first Superintendent, ex-rfii
do, and we believe ho was from Allegheny
or Westmoreland. Afterwards A. L. Itussel,
of Bedford, and Charles A. Ill.icb.of Greene,
followed. The western part of the State
was never distinguished, we believe, for not
receiving its full share of official position.
When the snobsof this country got through
with their worship of King Calico, they took
time to look around them and then discov
ered that nobody was staring on the scene.
They then dropped the subject and Calico
found himself alone. At St. Louis lis passed
tho time by roystering around the city and
getting onaspree.aftcrwhich he niadetracks
for the Sandwich Islands, being conveyed
thither by a government vessel at tho ex
pense of the people, by order of Gen, Grant.
Had the show been kept up that was start
ed at Washington, Calico would no doubt
have been back often, but the latter part of
hU exp.er.cnco will probably keep him
away.
Texas probably suffered less in a direct
way from tho civil war than :uiv otheroftho
Southern States, and it has been cither the
most fortunate or tho best governed State in
that section since the war. The total debt of
thb State, according to GovernorCook'smes
sage, is only $1,012,205 and theestimated re
ceipts $1,289,000. Tho estimated cost of the
public schools is $509,000, and the estimated
receipts of the school fund$71.r,129. The tax
able property f the State is $27.j,O00,OOO,au
increase of $G3,000,000 since 1872. There
must be some potent reason for the prosperi
ty of Texas us compared with Louisiana,
and for the peace which reigns there, Mid a
good lesson might be gathered from a com
parison of the conditions which In the one
Stato have produced anarchy and misrule,
and in tho other peace, light burdens and
growing prosperity, Philadelphia Ledger.
The atmosphere of Texas is not congenial
to tho carpet bagger, and tho vrlijte popula
tion thero outnumbers the black. Tiiu main
reason, however, is that Texas is so exten
sive that the army is not large enough to en
.'orco frauds, llenco the Radicals keep hands
Cff.
How to ds it I
It is related by sundry Washington cor
respondents that when a committee of New
Orleans importers waited on Geu. Grant with
a request to remavo his brother-in-law, Gen.
Ctsjy, from the office of collector at the
Port of New Orleans, becauso of corruption
and incompetency, tho President naively in
quired "but what will I do with him if I
remove him?" The committee wero non
plussed and retired,
Had Gov. Curtin been with that commit
tee they would no doubt havo been more
successful. Some years ago thero resided in
Pellefonto a broken down ex-landlord, who
had become completely worthless for any
practical purpose, but was nevertheless a
rather prepossessing man in personal ap
pearance. Gen. Reed had built n vcrv larro
and fine liotol at Krlo and was in want of a
superintendent. A paper was gotten up at
ueueionie recommending ex-landlo.-d Ward,
which was duly signed by Gov. Curtin and
Other distinguished I'Dlltlnmnn nftlin Inr-nll.
ty, and upon the strength of It Ward got tho
position. His Incompetency soon becamo
apparent and with somo difficulty Gen, Reed
gotrjdofhlm. Meeting Curtin afterwards,
Jieeu complained to lilm for recommending
such a man. The ex-Governor coollv re.
plied, "do as we did recommend him on
further I" If the New Orleans committee had
have understood that dodge they evidently
ould Lave gotten rid of brother-in-law
C3y,b "rocouine&diutf hlta on further I"
Tho liCdshturp.
Not much progress has ns yet been made
by tho Legislature In tho transaction of tho
necessary public business. A most disgrace'
fill and shameful row occurred In the Hniue
on Monday evening. The Speaker railed
Mr. W nir. of Union, tn order, and directed
him to tako his seat. This lie rrf.i-ed to do.
but cuiuinued in his disorder. The Sps.iker
then directed tho Sergoant-at-nrms to arrest
mm. Some Republican members cromled
around to protect him and some Democrats
absurdly went to the .issuance of the officer.
Amidst this shameful scene, the House nil
journed. On the next day Wolf w.w arrest
ed by the Sergeant and brought tj the bar
of the House. He offered nn impudent ex
planatlon, when a motion of censure was of
fered and debated to tho hour of adjourn
ment. If the House bad even an ordinary
degree of respect for itself It would expol
him. Jvo matter what tho merits of a con
troversy between a number and the
Speaker may be, when the latter calls to or
der, or demands ot a member to take his
seat, the former must obey, and will If ho is
a gentleman, or fit associate of gntlcmen.
lly no other mean can any deliberative
body preserve dignity or the most ordinary
respectability. If the Speaker nets wrong
fully, there are proper meant for correcting
or rebuking him.
Wolf, we are told, is a. young lawyer, from
Lewisburg, serving n third term. His Leg
islative reputation Is not creditable. His
conduct in the recent disgraceful occurrence
is characteristic of ill-breeding, vulgarity
and a total want of gentlemanly instincts or
principles. He might have had the excuse
of sudden passion had he not persisted in
his itupudenco tho next day. A frank,
manly apology would have been creditable
to him. As tho caso stands there is no ex
tenuation for his fault, and tho Hnuso will
exhibit itself in no creditable light if it docs
not deal summarily with him.
This scene is a sad commentary upon tho
increase of membership, and goes far to sus'
taiu the position of thoso who opposed that
pieco of folly. Two hundred men is too
large an assembly fordolihcration, when it is
composed of a majority of inexperienced
persons, many of whom are ignorant and
conceited, and too many ill-bred and unprin
cipled. They, of course, in time could be
schooled into proper demeanor, but by that
time the session will expire and a brood of
new fledglings tako their places at the next
election.
We scarcely think the occurrence above
referred to could have occurred with a com
petent and experienced Speaker in tho chair.
The House has since passed tho resolution
of censure, and if Wolf respects himself lie
will resign.
Congrcssloii.il.
Last week the Radical leaders in Congress,
generalled by Ben llutlcr, undertook to
force tho passage of tho Civil Rights bill a
bill designed to bring the poor and moder
ately well off whites dovvnto'an equality
with the blacks, north and south. The
Democrats, led vvithconsumniatcskillby Mr
Samuel J. Randall, of this State, wero as de
termined to resist. After .1 continuous ses-'
sion of forty-Bix hours, soino of tho Radicals
yielded and consented to an adjournment.
The Speaker announced that he would de
cide that tho yeas and nays might be omitted
in reading tho journal, but wisely backed
down upon the den. and of Mr. Randall that
they should be read. This consumed anoth
er day. The Radical leaders then attempted
to suspend the rules so as to introduce a new
rule permitting a majority of tho Houso to
take up any bill they "pleased. They suc
ceeded in uniting their party in favor of
this because it would let in various thieving
schemes in the way of appropriations that
could not otherwise be reached, but they
failed at first simply because a single Re
publican from Virginia voted against them
and with tho Democrats. Tho struggle is a
fierce one, and the result depends upon two
or three votes. If every member is present
the Republicans havotherequisitetwo-thirds
majority, and they may yet succeed in pas
sing their iniquitous scheme. They are des
perato and will resort to any form of corrup
tion to effect success.
The Republicans also have trouble in the
Senate. They havo held frequent caucuses
to drum in the refractory, but eight of their
numberstill hold out against recognizing the
Kellogg usurpation and more still refuse to
vote to admit tho negro blackleg, Pinehback,
to a seat as Senator from Louisiana. A
committee who assume to bo tho leading
negro Radicals of the United States, are
out with a protest against recognizing the
Kellogg government of Louisiana unless
Pinehback is also admitted to the Senate, to
which he was never elected by uny Legisla
ture having the semblance of legal authori
ty. After tho 4th of March, there will bo
no chance forany of these Infamous twhemes,
and henec they aro pressed uow with extra
ordinary vigor.
Through unparliamentary decisions of the
Speaker of tho House, tho rules were finally
amended so as to enable tho majority ti take
up any bill they pleased, except bills making
appropriations. This will enable the Radi
cals to pass the Civil Righto bill and sink
themselves deeper In eternal infamy.
Other proceedings so far unimportant.
Dont Hoard .National Hank Notes.
Whllo National Rank Notes have so far
proved a sufficiently safe currency, in any ex
traordinary depreciation of Government
stocks they will be sure to run far under par
and may become almost worthless. Nothing
but tho fact that their ultimate payment is
secured by United States Ilonds gives them
credit. If tho bonds fall the value of tho
notes must materially diminish. It is un
questionably a fact that tho Government is
now in a great strait for revenue. The Pres
ident and Secretary of tho Treasury demand
a tax upon Tea and Coffee to meet the emer
gency but Longreumen dare not voteor it I
Whero then is the fifty million deficiency to
come from? And if tho revenuo continues to
fall off tho deficiency will bo a hundred mil
lions in another year. Unless this should be
met by largely increased taxation, which the
people may not be ablo to pay, tho bonds
must sink far below par and tho National
Rank notes with them. There are ulso other
reasons why theso notes may depreciate fear
fully. Wo say, therefore, do not hoard Na
tional Pant note). Keep them moving pass
them off as fast as you get them. That at
least will do no harm und no loss will bo
bustxincd by it.
There is no getting behind tho fact, that
President Grant is in a fair way to be John
sonlzetl. There waH a time when for what
reason we never could divine he was an
idol, nay, the idol of tho Republican party,
but that day has passed. The Idol has been
shattered, and thero is only a broken rem
nant of the once powerful party left to do it
reverence.
It is a wicked paper that says tho
last time Phil Sheridan "had em," he was
tormented by forty thousand coukroaches
crawling around him, Now he sees tho gut'
ters running with blood, and forty thousand
murderers at largo In Louisiana, When some
men got the jimjauis, they havo 'em pretty

Tho New York Hun is n pattern scuta
tlonal paper. It has no euro for truth j
(Iocs not want truth, for that Is not' sens'
tlonal, nnd always greatly prefers a lie, but
any tiling lor a sensation, truo or false,
whether relating to the public or simply it
private sennUal. Tho paper lives by in
ducing people to talk about It, and its uni
form anil ujustuii falsehoods clfect this end
better than any thing that Is true or worthy
of being n.iid. Noiiu of Its statements will
bear repetition, uu nutter what they may bo
about, and any body who believes them will
find himself deceived.
Recently a printing office boy In Chester
county undertook to practlco upon ibis
characteristic of the Ann and wrote an article
for it, sarin in substance that tho Presby
teriau clergyman of that placo (naming n
mythical person) was entirely too partial to
a female member of his church and that a
general bobbery was kicked up about it,
Instead of seeking to punish the Infamous
newspaper that would publish Mich Muff,
written by n boy ol whoso existence even
the editor had no knowledge, leading mem
bcrsof the church sought out the niischicv
ous hul, who had merely burlesqued a
scandalous newspaper, ami gravely pro
cceded to punish him, by prosecution for
libel, imprisonment, Ac. Tho cowardly
gunitnies who could thus vcngcfully pur
sue tho note in tho boy's eye, while they
blindly failed to see the beam in the trollli
gato editor's, aro certainly highly deserving
of leather medals. The fact is there was
something clever in the boy's idea. He
fooled a New York editor he successfully
burlesqued u New York libeller in bis
own columns lie exposed to tho public how
readily the meanest of slanders will bo pro
pagated by tho sensational papers of the
cities, and how utterly unreliable aro all
their sensational statements, news, occ., and
how foolish pcoplo aro to patronize them I
Roy like, tho'lad went too far in specifying
real localities, ami therein is his whole
offence, but tho scheme, apparent purpose
and cficct of his plot, aro nil good and
exhibit genius, Wc do not know what tlicy
have done with the lad (put him in jail,
perhaps) but ho has done a goad thing, and
exhibited much above ordinary ability in
doing it. He will get through with the
feather in his hat and can afford for all time
to laugh at the stupidity and tho stupids
who punished an unpretending and obscure
boy for humbugging a New York seus.it wind
editor of a "leading" city newspaper I

The following now law on tho subject of
Libel has been presented to the Legislature.
In its present form it is mischievous, giving
great and unreasonable opportunity to blaek
guardsand slanderers, and through them dis
gracing tho pres, but with the iiiuan Iniiuts
we indieato between brackets would pr.j'i t-
bly be useful :
Section- 1. That from and after the nass-
age of this act, on the trial of indictments,
for writing or publishing a libel luiiim per
sons acting in a public cip.ieity the truth
of the matter charged as libellous may be
given in evidence, and if the jury shall' find
mat ino same was written or puhlMicil from
good motives, and or for justifiable end),
and or that the matter so charged was true,
it shall operate to the acquittal of the defen
dant or ueienaants, provided no improper
purpose or carelessness is apparent.
Skgtio.V 2. No conviction shall be bad
of a defendant, or defendant, in a prose
cution for libel, whose vocation is tiiu publi
cation of a newspaper, for writing or pub-
naning sueu nuegeu uoei, anywnere, except
within tho countv where the ii.mer is edited
and printed for circulated.!
Sucno.N- 3. That in the trial of all prose
cutions lor libel, exceptions to any decision
of the Court, upon the proper construction
of the law, may be made by the defendant
or defendants and a bill thereof shall be
sealed, in the same manner as is provided
and practiced in civil cases, and the defen
dant or defendants, after conviction and
judgment upon the verdict, may remove the
indictment, record and all proceedings to the
Supreme Court, which removal shall delay
or stay the execution of tho judgment o'r
sentence until tho same is reviewed and de
cided by tho Supreme Court provtded that
such appeals shall take precedence of all
other business in said Court.
Section -1. All laws or parts of laws in
consistent herewith, are hereby repealed.
Of cour.so where wo insert the word audi
the following "or" should bo omitted. Rut
we really see little use in amending the
present law, except so far as to secure
uniformity in its application by a thorough
review of it by the Supremo Court. Liars
and slanderers have too much immunity
already, and especially thoso of them who
control printing presses.
Keport of the Constitutional (!o umissinn.
lly authority of tho last Legislature,
which desired to avoid the restrictions of tho
now Constitution, Gov. Hartr.inft appointed
a Commission to report a revised instrument
to tho present Legislature. For some reason
the selections of theso Commissioners wero
made altogether from persons opposed to the
amended Constitution. They have now
made report, mid it may bo gratifying to the
friends of tho new instrument that theso
gentlemen have boon able to fiud so little
fault. Ilelow we give a synopsis of the al
terations they recommend. Somo of the
BiiigcstioiH are vicious, but generally they
are of little account. It will require tho
assent of two Legislatures and a majority
vote ot tho poople at a succeeding election
to adopt them. We will discuss theai
hereafter :
1. An additional provision to prevent tho
resignation of a member of tho Legislature,
pending an inquiry into his conduct by
either house which may lead to his expul
sion.
2. To so amend the provisions relating to
appropriations for charitable and educa
tional purposes which may be made by u
majority vote, and such as require a two
thirds vote, into two exclusive budgets, in
order thilt they may ha relatively judged of
and their gross amount be kept within
proper bounds.
3. Supplies an omission to fix tho power
of commissioning judges of tho supreme
court and to fix the tune for tho beginning
of their term's of office.
4. The third section of Art. ti.. conferring
jurisdiction upon the supreme court, is
anienueu to eniargj ino powers ol the
court, i
1. Prohibits the erection of a judicial
district from n siii'.'ln county with a popu
lation lass than fifty thouuinl ; prohibits
the election of an additional law judgo In
such a district unless tho population shall
exceeil soveiity-flvu thuiii'id ; provides for
special courts when i.eo-sary, and the
abolition of existing separate districts
whero tho population Is less than filty
thousand and ulso whero business does not
require their continuance, after the expi
ration of the terms of judges now in com
mission therein. Business, not population,
is mado tho basis of tho distribution of the
courts of tho State,
C. Confirms the powers of associate
judges In districts where that pIUch is not
abolished, and declares what constitutes u
quorum in their ubsence,
7. Supplies express power to commission
common pleas judges and fixes the time
when their terms begin,
8. Strikes from tho constitution the
clauso provld ng for n "limited vote" and In
tended to tcure minority representation,
t. Provides that tho salaries of judges
may be Increased but nut diminished during
their terms of office.
10, Supplies an omission of poweron the
part of courts to appoint under officers, cte.
11, Provide that "at the trial of n c n,
tested election of a senator or representative
before a committee of either house, n judge
of the Mipromo court, to bo audguoil thereto
by tho said court, bIiiiII preside, and shall de
cide questions regarding thu admissibility of
evidence, and shall, nt tho request of tho
committee, pronounce his opinion upon the
questions ot law Involved in the trial,
12, Kxcmpts from taxation property
owned by colleges, academies and other
Institutions of learning not lucd lor priMilo
gain mid hospitals,
13, Strikes out of Sec. 8, Art. 9, plirnso
"at any one lime," which Is 11 surplusage
capablo of un tnlcrencu contrary to thu in
tent of tho section, which is to limit tho
aggregate Indebtedness ncity may comract to

1 1. Provides for tho pavmcnt of nil fines
and penalties by municipal officers into the
county treasuries.
lf. Strikes out See. 7, A rt. lf, providing
for the election of county c(iiuinlsiontis
and auditor upon tho plan ol a limited
vote.
PI. Strikes out the provision providing
fur cumulative voting in elections lur direc
