Since tho election in November live per
sons then elocted to tho House, of lieircent
ativew of this Stito (lied thrco Djm icr.its
ami two Itspublicnns. Tlio vaeuncir . li.ive
now all lwen filled all by Democrats.
Tlio President ha? called an extra s-sion
of the tJ, S. Senato to ncmblc immediately
upon tho adjourumont of Congress, for the
purpo'o of acting upon treaties, noniin.iti'nn,
do., in which the Homo doe? not take a
part.
Tho UarrNburg Patriot lins born much
enlarged and greatly improved iu'iu make
up and mechanical appearance. Hut sineo
its enlargement It no longer '-eU hero by the
morning mall, which will be ag,iiut its cir
culation in this quarter.
The extract from a speech on our first
luge, by that Bitted statesman, A. II. Steph
ens, of Georgia, on tho Uses of Sund.iv
Schools, should be carefully perused by all
friendi of children. It is one of the best
thing wo have seen on the subject.
Tho Khedive of Hgypt made a present of
diamonds, ve., to tho daughter of Gen. Sher
man on the occasion of bar marriage, valued
variously at from $300,000 to $500,000
Tho duty alono amounted to ?7o,000, but
Congress remitted that.
A freight and passenger warfare is now
going on between the Pennsylvania nnd l!al
timoro and Ohio railroads, frum which tho
public will probably gain advantage. Tho
respectiro Presidents nro also carrying on a
newspaper warfare, which of course results
in no credit to cither.
Somo sarcastic citizens of Now Orleans
applied to Gen. Sheridan for a list of the
twenty-one hundred political martyrs be
reported to tho Government. Of course be
had neither such list, statistics or evidence,
and consequently could glvo no information
to the citizens on the subject.
Gov. Kamsey, another administration U.
S. Senator, has been knocked in tho head by
the Minnesota Legislature, though it con
tained a Republican majority, and Judge
M'Millau, who lias been out of politics for
twenty years, is elected in his place. Tho
information is that the Jiulgo is or was a
llepublican, but not of theGrantschool, nor
yet an extreme Radical.
After tho -1th of March next the U. S,
Senato will bo composed of -10 Republicans
23 Democrats, and o Republicans classed as
independents. There- is ono vacancy from
Louisiana tho ono Pinchback wants to fill.
Tlicro aro soveral Republicans not classed as
independents who will not vote for ultra
measures, such as tho carpet-baggers want,
and there will not remain a majority of the
Senate who can bo dictated to by caucus.
The days of Radicalism arc therefore num
bered, mid it will not bo surprising if there
is a practical Democratic majority in botli
Houses of Congress before the next session
ends.
A petition signed by 103 persons in Ar
kansas was presented to tho Congressional
investigating committee when in that State,
stating that for tho last ten years the peti
tioners carried their lives in their hands and
that they wcro constantly intimidated. Gov.
Garland at onca bad 44 of them arrested and
taken before a grand jury to testify against
their persecutors, o that the latter might bo
properly dealt with. Strange to say not one
could name a person, act or circumstance
that threatened their peace, and all gave for
the only cause of their alarm the statements
they saw in tho sensatinrtd papers of the
cities and tho Congressional speeches and
reports they had read ! If the courage of
theso carpet-baggers and negroes was equal
to their cheek, there would bo Jcsa occasion
to fear intimidation at tho south.
Good ucwapaper agents in largo cities are
of much advantago to the country press and
to tho pooplo (iuforming tho latter where
they may obtain almost every thing they de
sire) but those editors who trust them pro
miscuously pay rather dear for their whistle-,
and also impoao most wrongfully upon their
readers. Wo havo heretofore adverted to
tho fact that we trust but few of them, and
thoso only of established good character,
Amongst them all S. M. PcttengiU'ci Co,
who havo offices in Philadelphia, New York
and lloston, aro our favorites. Wo havo
dealt with thein for about twenty years now
and during all that timo never had a fault to
find, or an explanation to ask, or a difficulty
or misunderstanding to adjust, Wcro all
business as intelligently and correctly doneas
is their invariable habit thero would be lit
tie occasion for legal machinery or collection
agencies. Tho worthy press of tho country
take prido In sustaining such nuugency mid
always giving their advertisements the most
favorable positions and best display.
On tho 13th of March Co). M'Clure's new
paper, tho 7'iwim, Is to tako the place of tho
A'ew Aye, It promises to bo "independent
in every thing, neutral in nothing," mid to
pay particular attention to the news of the
day. That it will bo a spirited paper Is
scarcely to be doubted, and in this rospect
It will supply a great Philadelphia need
Wo would prefer an exhibition of its "indc'
pendence" to any profession on the subject,
"Neutral In nothing" will glvo it an cxtcn
mIvo field of labor, sufficiently so to occupy a
regiment of writers if their sayings are to bo
worth tho reading. Tho paper will not bo
Democratic, but will no doubt bo Intensely
anti-Grant, if any opinion may bo safely
held about Col. .M 'CI nro without an accom
panylng doubt. Upon .the vvliolo wo look
for it to bo a most readable and newsy sheet
largely devoted to the partUan and personal

THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA.
Tho Legislature.
On Monday n scries of resolutions wcro
ollered In tho Senate Instructing the U, 3.
Senators from this Statu to veto for the Tex
as I'acitto railroad subsidy, about $70,HU!t,.
000 we believe. On their passage the ens
were 21, nays (!, and tho bahin. dodged, In
eluding the Senator from tills dislrb I. This
Is the most magnificent nml uupaidonable
steal now on tho carpet. To take that I in
lneinejstiin from the Federal treasury at n
time when tho President is urging Congress
tw replenish it, to saves it from bankruptcy,
by Imposing u high tax uprn the casctittul
necessaries of life, including ten, colli'o and
sugar, does seem tobi the height of oppress
ive legislation. And this Tesus Pacific- is
only tho fore-runner. If it succeeds there
will be n dozen or mora roads of equal merit
nklng tho s.uiio aid, nnd tho navigation
companies will renew their cllbrt.s to the
same end. Finally It will require an amount
equal to tho present National debt to satisfy
those cormorants. Of course, tlio pockets of
Congressmen and Legislators aro enriched
by this jobbery, and hence tho success of
the measures, as exhibited in the Credit
.Mobiller, Pacific Mail, and other investiga
tions. Until the peoplo put their stern veto
upon every man who supports such projects,
there will be no end to them.
Tho time of tho House has been mainly
taken up In urging the Treasury investiga
tion and in the pass.ige of general bills of
no pressing interest. The appropriation bill
has been reported. Including n deficiency
of the past year it effects a saving of about
1S0,000, notwithstanding tho fact that the
membership of tho Legislature has been
nearly doubled, and high salaries were im
posed by tho last Legislature. It is to be
hoped the Homo will sustain the committee
In its economy.
Tho House bcg'ms to show its Democratic
blood investigation and exposure of cor
ruptions, tho passage of but few laws, and
tho strictest economy in public expendi
tures. May it continue in well doing'l
Congressional.
Congress has been working bard. Near
ly, : ml perhaps all, the appropriation bills
have passed or aro so far advanced that they
will not take up Tmuch moro time. After
the refusal to admit Pinchback tho Senate
went to work in earnest ami passed one after
tho other of the appropriation bills. They
arc all pitched on tho highest bey of extrav
agance. The Republican Senators have- re
solved not to tako up any of the political
bills until after the necessary business is
concluded.
In tho House the tax-tariff bill is under
consideration. On a test vote there wcro 103
for tho bill and 95 against it. Its chances
are yet doubtful. It increases all duties 10
per cent., adds largely to tho tariff on sugar
nnd the tax on whiskey and tobacco, and is
designed in its tax features to raise from
thirty to fifty millions additional revenue.
The tariff portion will scarcely add to the
revenue though it will add largely to the
price of sugar, tobacco in all its forms, Ac.
The Pennsylvania members are weak-kneed,
as usual, except Storm, of Monroe, who has
tho manhood to stand by tho interests of the
people against tho pampered few. Whilo it
is an acknowledged fact that the Treasury is
short, no one seems to think of ciittingdown
extravagant salaries, unwarranted appro
priations, and other unnecessary expenses,
but tho only remedy thought of is increased
taxation. If the people arc willing to bear
it let their will be done 1
A substitute for the Tariff-tax bill w
finally adopted by the House, yeas 123, nays
113. It imposes a tax of 00 cents per gall on
on whisky," increases tho tax on cigars ono
dollar per thousand, 25 per cent, is added to
tho duty on sugar and molasses, the law of
ast Congress reducing duties 10 per cent, is
repealed, and some other changes to make
these provisions effective. are adopted. It is
believed the Senato will concur in tho bill
ind that it will raise the required revenue,
taxing the people about fifty millions of
dollars.
A motion to tako up tho Texas Pacific
railroad subsidy bteal was defeated in tho
IIonso by yeas 117, nays 128. It is general-
conceded that this voto kills the proj cct
for the present.
Tho Louisiana committeo report unani
mously against tho action of tho returning
board and that tho Conservatives carried
the State Legislature by a largo majority.
As to Kellogg a minority of the committeo
sustain but tho majority (composed of Dem
ocrats and Republicans) coudemn him.
Particulars hereafter.
The Treasury Investigation.
Vnotber attempt to have a committee ap
pointed to investigate tho condition of the
Stato Treasury was mado in the House of
Representatives at Harrisburg n few days
ago, but failed I Tho Republicans resist an1
investigation unanimously, which ts equal
to a cmifeasiuu of guilt, and a few Democrats
join them. v newer mcse latter nave an
along been in the interest of tho Radical
State Ring or whether they aro a recent
purchase, is not slated. It is curious that
no list of yeas and nays on the question is
published, so that the peoplo might see who
aro engaged in the business of covering up
tho frauds that have been perpetrated upon
them. It is to be hoped that in future these
will be given.
Tho refusal to investigate is a most palpa
ble and gross outrage upon tho people that
ought to bo resented nt the next election.
Tho peoplo havo a right to know how their
money has been used, and especially have
they a right to know why the State debt was
jumped nearly three millions of dollars,
and icho not the money. Whoever attempts
to cover m that fraud Is uo better than tho
thieves lhcmsclvc, and any Democrat who
lids in preventing investigation is both a
thief and traitor, if thero aro such let tho
public know who they are.
T'. S Tho resolution oi investigation has
nt length carried, despite every effort of the
Republicans to prevent it. Messrs. Jtclgu
ard, Gunster, Smith, Wise, Umblck, Chris
man and Itailey were appointed the commit
tee. As tho Republicans claim that tho
Hoiiso has no authority, of itself, to institute
an investigation, the same proposition as
that passed was offered as a joint resolution
but was resisted by ho Republican members
This would Indicate its defeat in tho Senato
even if adopted by tho House, yet it Is to be
hoped tho Democrats will push tho Repub
licaus to tho wall on this subject. If gross
frauds and thefts aro to bo covered up let
tho Republicans bear tho responsibility.
Gen. Jas, U, Steadman, a well-known
Union officer, who was in tho army with
Grunt, and whoso knowledge of him
full and thorough, says:
"If ho does not dio tho victim of his ap
netltn ho will cause his country moro trou
Lie. moro excitement and moro blood than
nnv man who has ever lived on this conti
nciit. In every position bo fulled In the
army ho gavo convincing proof of his tie
untie, characteristics in the unrelenting bit'
lernrus ho exhibited toward rivals Ho
could neither brook control nor rivalry,

Hnchback Overboard Again I
Last week tho cxtrcmo Radlcalsof tho Fed
eral Senate, undcrtlie lead of Morton, under
took to forco tho admission of Pinchback to
a seat, and for this purpose determined to
remain In session until a vote was reached,
The dignified body went Into session at 12
o'clock, noon, on Wednesday and remained
until tho next day at 4 o'clock, p, m, with
out adjournment, Mr. Gordon, of Georgia,
making a six hours speech. Frequent efforts
were mado to adjourn, but failed. Finally a
motion was ninde from the Republican side,
to lay the whole subject on tho table, which
was agreed to by a vote of 30 yeas to 22 nays
the latter all Republicans, and nil the
Democrats voting in tho nlllrinativc. Mr.
Scott, of this State, voted with tho majority,
and Cameron of course on the other side.
Wo obscrvo that of tho 12 Senators from tho
yankce States 10 voted with tho majority and
only two with tho minority. This is to bo
accounted for by tho fact that tho further
discussion of tho subject endangered appro
priations, tariffs and other profitable pro
jects in which yankco land is Interested,
The cfi'cct of this action was to refuo to
admit Pinchback to a seat, yet not finally
deciding his case. It was a dodgo to avoid
committing themselves not only on the
claimants case, but also on the whole Louis
iana business. Tlio effect is further to leave
Grant floundering in the Louisiana muddle
ho has created, without any backing from
his party in the Senate, or in Congress. The
Senators of the Republican party can now
stand with their arms folded ready to im
peach or to sustain Grant in the future as
their political Interests may dictate.
The resolution to admit Pinch may be
taken up at any time by a majority vote, If
it can bo reached, provided no special order
is pending. To tako it up in opposition ton
special order requires a two-thirds vote. As
theso orders coyer the balance of tho time
this Congress has to live, nnd as tho next
Senato will be very nearly Democratic, there
docs not seem to be much chance for Pinch
back's admission on his two bogus elections.
The resolution of admission thus summar
ily disposed of did not stato which of Pinch
back's several elections entitled him to a
scat, but merely that bo was so entitled.
Had he keen admitted, therefore, bo would
not have known when ho was elected, or
which of the fraudulent bodies that appoint
ed him was recognised as having a legal ex
istence of sufficient tenacity to make a Sen
ator. A beautiful commentary, indeed, upon
Radical rulel
More Power, More Pay anil boss VrU I
This is the modest demand mado by tlio
Chief Justice for his Court, in the recent re
port of tho Constitutional Commission as
made to the Legislature. Whilo he com
plains that his Court has too much business,
ho proposes to enlarge its original jurisdic
tion I With a salary of $700 per year
(each of his Associates gets $7,000) lie wants
the Legislature to have power to increase
judicial salaries though not to diminish
them 1 And lastly, in order to cut off work
from his court and relieve it, he suggests
that writs of error shall not bo allowed
where the sum in controversy is less than
SSOO 1 This last change, to establish a Rich
Man's court, must bo agreed to without ob
jection, under a fearful penalty : for the ob
jector is to be denounced as a demagogue.
But this terrible word from tho Greek will
hardly deter tho people and members of the
legal profession from stoutly opposing this
and other ill-advised projects of chango in
the Constitution, come from rchat quarter they
may.
Our opinions on the subject of official sal
aries aro well known to our readers, and vve
continue to hold them with increasing eonfi
dencc. In tho present condition of tho
country no one ought to speak of increasing
tho pay of public officers without rebuke,
nut of all our public officers the Judges of
tho Supremo Court have lea'-t reason to com
plain of their pay. Their salaries aro liberal
and they aro protected by the Constitution
against having them reduced during their
continuance m office. And now that theju
dicial term in that court has been lengthened
to twenty-one years, the pay of tho Judges
will bo relatively better than ever before j
for an annual salary of $7,000 for twenty-one
years may be considered as good pay for pub
lie service as $10,000 per year for ten or fif
teen years. The general rule established by
tho new Constitution, that tho salary of no
public officer shall be increased or dimin
ished during bis continuance in office, is a
very good one, and should not be changed to
suit the interests of any class whose pay is
good and whose terms have been lengthened.
We do not suppose that the new Judges of
of the Spreme Court nsk for increased pay,
and as to tho Chief Justice himself we be
lieve he is to receivo to the end of his term,
much higher pay than was attached to tho
otlice of Judge of his Court nt tho time of
his election.
A good way to decrease both the business
of the Court and tho expenses of tho Judges
would bo to make its sessions permanent at
Harrisburg, tho seat of tho Stato govern
went, which is obviously the proper place
for it.
Southern Outrages.
General Sheridan first reported 4,000 polit
ical murders In Louisiana within a few years
past. When asked for a definite statement
he reduced tho number nearly one-half.
When asked to come beforo tho Congrcssion
al committee and testify to his knowledge on
the subject, ho bad sudden business up the
river, which occupied him until tho com
mittco had left, Tho citizens then asked
him for tho list of persons maltreated, but
this ho declined to give, "because the origi
nal belonged to tho War Department 1"
Major Longbow saw a thousand snakes if
not a thousand, at least nino hundred or
nlnety-nino at any rate ho was sure thero
was inoro than one, and ho could not come
down another snake I That is the way that
southern outrage stories run.
It will bo recollected that during tho
Johnson administration, Sheridan In com
mand nt New Orleans had tho whole city in
turmoil and wanted to declaro martial law
Johnson removed him and appointed tho
great-hearted Hancock to tako his place,
l'eace, quietness, order nnd safety to llfo and
property were at once restored, without fur'
ther aid from soldiers than the general order
of their commander that nil personal
rights would be respected, and that tho mil
itary should be subordinate to the civil pow
er. That was common senso rule, and tht
is all that is now needed at the south.
As in tho Constitutional Convention so lu
tho Houso of Representatlvso tlio namn of
JIou. Georgo A. Aehenbacli, of Clinton
county, heads tho list of yeas and nays. He
is a sound, Judicious and trustworthy leader
who never swerves from tho principles of

Tho question hm often bicn asked, what will
be done with tho enrpet-bnggers when they have
to leave the South, which they must do nt no

Tho so-called "Poland Press Gae Law."
about which sundry mush-headed editors
mado so much fuss, especially thoo of tho
sensational and libelling order, and their
silly folUwcrs, was lately referred to tho
Judiciary Committeo of tho U. S. Senato for
construction, or amendmetil If necessary.
Their report declares "that said act Is not
obnoxious to nny critlcl.smaud that in
respect of the crime of libel It confers no
power, either to bring a person charged with
libel Into tho District of Columbia or to
send him out of it." The rcpoit is unani
mous and Is signed by the most distinguish
ed lawyers of tho Senate, Including those
able Democrats, Judge Thurmau, who has
sat upon tho Supremo bench of Ohio, and
Gov. Stevenson, of Kentucky. We suppose,
therefore, that tho public is relieved from
further twaddle on that subject.
Tho Lcwisburg Chronicle, tho organ of tho
Republican party of Union count r, sustains
the ruffianly conduct of Wolfe in Die Houso
of Representatives. The Argus, the Demo
cratic orgin, takes tho opposite sldo and
challenges Wolfo to submit his conduct to
tho judgment of the voters of tho county.
Tills Is the course any honorablo man would
take, but a man who could act as Wolfo did
does not possess manly notions of honor. If
ho did he would resign and submit his con-
luct to his constituents, a portion of whom
at least denounce him, and not longer re
main in a body that 1ms declared him an un
fit associate, unless vindicated by those who
avo most interest in bis public conduct. Ho
ould test tho ninttcr next fall, without In
convenience to nny body, or losing a day in
tlio Legislature if those who elected him
would then sustain him,
Sheridan's Story.
Tho statement of Gen. Sheridan, supposed
to be given on his word of honor nsnn officer
of the United States army, that 2,141 per
sons have been killed and 2,115 wounded in
iouisiana on account of their political opin
ions since 18GG, a total of 4,25G is a sam
ple of the kind of stuff tho Radical leaders
and their organs hae been trying to palm
off upon tho peoplo during the past few
years Gen. Sheridan is charged witli being
the habit of getting into a condition
during which bo "sees things double," but
even this excuse will not palliate such an
outrageous story as this. Hut he "won't
come down a single nigger," and tho Repub
lican voters aro expected to believo him.
It would bo a 'sensible to do so, as to believo
many of tho other stories of "Southern out
rages" so industriously circulated by Radi
cal journals about election timo Heading
Gazette.
Sheridan simply repeats Kellogg's state
ment, in defiance of proofs.
The 22l of February, as a holiday (like
other Legislative holydays) was invisible !
However much people may be disposed to
honor and reverence the memory of Gen.
Washington, they have no respect for Legis
lative authority in making holvdays and
will not regard them in the least, unless for
other reasons. It is discreditable to Lcgis
latures to pass laws that they know will be
generally disregarded, that can not be en
forced, and would do no good if ever so well
observed, It nlo hns tho cfi'ect to brin
Legislative authority into public contempt
and the habitual disregard of somo laws
will sooner or later lead to tho disregard of
all law.
How absurd it would be for any authority
to undertake to enforce tho observance of
;iny holyday other than Sunday 1 Take tho
4th of July for example. What progress
would all tho legal authority in tho land
make in enforcing its ob-ervance as a holi
day mid compelling farmers and others to
abstain from work on that day ? Who dare
prosecute any ono for following his Usual
occupation on any ol the Legislative holy
d.ivs? The absurdity of tho whole business
is so apparent that all discission is perfectly
useless.
If people choose to voluntarily observe
holydays it is a good thing but to force
them is folly.

the Southern State governments or not. Ho
leelarcs his intention to assume tho power inde
pendent of Congressional action.
The Lock Haven lltpublieaa states that there
aro 750.000 white men in this country whu can
not read, and that mot of them oto tlio Dem
ocratic ticket. Thero are nearly thrco times
that many negroes in the United Stales who
cannot read, and all of them vote the Radical
ticket, J)tm. Watchman.
In order that Grant may keep a paid nrmy nt
she south the people nro asked to pay $S,000.O00
in the lorm of increased tax ou sugar ; 5 1,000,'
000 on tobacco ; nnd SS,000,000 on oilier manu
factures of articles of necessity from cotton,
wool, leather, iron and steel. Is Radical ad
ministration wortli the price of it?
Congressman Ward, Republican, of the sec
ond Illinois district, was declared defeated at
the list election, nnd his seat assigned to Ids
Democratic opponent by a majority of two
votes. Mr. Ward not satisfied, demanded a
recount. His request was granted, and the nd
verse majority of two was swelled to two bun
drcil. Mr. Ward doesn't care for any more
countings.
If Grant is a second Washington," asks the
Pittsburgh JW'what is the third likely to be?'1
He is likely to lie hanged, we should say. CVur

It is very evident that there is to be a carni
val of jobbery at Washington. The minority
are now powerless to resist or delay the most
extravagant IcgMation proposed. A desperate
hand of men in Congress, condemned by their
constituencies and permanently retired from
elective office, are now ready to signaluo their
leave-taking by a general depletion of the
treasury.
