Of courso tho President of tho United
States would not for a moment bo suspected
of complicity In tho corruptions that have
recently been unearthed at Washington, and
yet a fen pertinent questions suggest them
selves just now.
First. When Belknap went to Grant and
tendered his resignation as Secretary of war,
with a confession cf his guilt, wliy did the
President accept It so promptly with regrcll
Was it to prevent, if possiblo the impeach'
ment of his bosom friend ?
Second. Why did Grant order tho Attor
ney General to Institute prosecutions against
all who wcro connected with these little
"Irregularities?" Was it to frighten those
who knew all about tlio matter luto leaving
ttic country, so that thcro would be nono to
testify against Belknap in tho courts and
thus secure his acquittal ?
Third. Ever slnco Col. Fred Grant gradu'
ated at West Point ho has amused himself
by travelling in Europe, and slnco his re
turn, by loafing about Washington. Now,
that his name is used in connection with
this rascally business why is ho ordered to
report at once for service on tho plains? Was
it to get him out of tlio reach of legal pro
cess, which would summon him to appear
before tho House committee and force him
to divulge somo family secrets?
Fourth. Gen. Schcnck, minister to Eng
land, has been accused of complicity in the
Emma Mlno frauds. Why was his resigna
tion accepted by Grant, while ho was upon
the high seas, on his way home? Why was
it not accepted white yet on British soil or
postponed until after his arrival in this
country? Was tho first to prevent his ar
rjst in England, and tho second, his itn
poichmeut by Congress? There are a few
other little matters concerning Brother
Orville, and brother-in-law Dent that the
people would like to have explained. This
affair from beginning to end, shows a desire
and effort on the part' of tho President to
prevent a full investigation and to screen the
scoundrels that have brought disgrace upon
tho nation.
What a sublime spectacle to foreign pow
ers I What a glorious inauguration of our
great Centennial Exhibition I
BRASS.
Among the Legislative proceedings wo find
this item : Mr. Yenkel An act making an
appropriation of $25,000 to tho Pennsyl
vania Medical University of Philadelphia,
Tho New Constitution in order to check
reckless appropriations mado a provision
that no such institutions should receive
State aid except by a two thirds vote of the
Assembly. It seems to be of no avail, be
cause Kepresentatives are somewhat prone
to be liberal with public funds.
This particular institution has not the shad
ow of a claim for public support. It is a
private institution very wealthy and not
subject to State control. It came to the
State Legislature and demanded an appro
priation of $500,000, which it received, ac
companied by tho pledge that no further
sum jvould be asked for. The following
year another delegation visited tho Legis
lature, and, in forma pauperis begged for
$500,000 more, with the dwtaict assurance
that no more was needed. In order to fac
ilitate the appropriation the Legislature
was luvited to Philadelphia was hand
somely toasted and wined and of course
voted the appropriation.
And now the same institution applies to
the present Legislature and begs for $25,
000 more.
On this and all kindred subjects tho votes
of Representatives should be examined with
care. .
The Loudon Times thinks that "on tho
whole, wo cannot but feel that even though
tho investigations or prosecutions now pend
ing should, prove futile, the impression on
tho public must be that a nice sense of hon
or does not prevail iu tho official world of
tho United States." An impression of that
kind is beginning to prevail on this side
of the water and by the time the remainder
of tho Cabinet has bedn disposed of will prob
ably bo quite generally adopted. "A nice
sense of honor" is ono of those things which
has not been deemed a requisite for states
men holding office under this Administra
tion, which accounts for tho political ex-
istoiKO of tho Belkuaps, Babcocks, Schcncks,
Shepherds and similar shining lights of the
Republican party. It Is very much to he
doubted whether any of these gentleman
know what "a nice seneo of honor" means
unless It may bo Schenck, who perhaps may
have a glimmering of such an idea In paying
uu poker' debts.
0UH PAMPHLET LAWS.
The Philadelphia Press calls attention of
tho Councils of that City to the amount
that may be saved iu the printing of ordi
nance by abbreviating the enacting clauso
and conclusion of each ordinance, This
reform In printing our Pamphlet Laws was
brought about by tho writer of of this ar
tide. As an illustration for the Pamphlet
Laws of 1871 It would have iaved 420 3-5
pages. This act not only reduced tho
bulk of tho volume but saved the Stato a
large item of expense, as tho Stato printer
was paid so much per page. In fact the
abuse had become so great that in some
instances an act of four lines was spread over
ouo page.

THE
0UK LIIIMi ItAWS.
At tho last meeting of our State Editorial
Association, n Commltto was appointed to
draft a bill to amend tho existing law on tills
subject, and present it to tho Legislature
Tho Committee has never met, and wo pre
sumo that It Is too lato to accomplish nny
thing this session.
Although believing In tho "freedom of the
press," as guaranteed by our fundamental
laws, wo do not bcllcvo in indiscriminate
license. But it is not truo that tho press Is
untrammeledln all matters proper for public
information, nnd wo are surprised that tho
Patriot, nnd other equally well informed
journals should tako such ground,
Tho Constitution of 1873 says :
Sr.C. 7. Tho printing press shall ho fr.o to
every person who may undcrtako to examine
tho proceedings of tlio Legislature or any
branch of government, and no law shall
ever bo mado to restrain tlio rights thereof.
Tho frco communication of thoughts and
opinions is ono of tho invaluablo rights of
man : nnd every citizen may freely speak,
writo and print on any subject, being re
sponsible for tho abuso of that liberty. No
conviction shall be had In any prosecution
for tlio publication of papers relating to tho
official conduct of officers or men In public
capacity, or to any other matter proper for
public Investigation or information, where
the fact that such publication was not
maliciously or negligently made shall be
establiihed to tho satisfaction of the jury;
and in nil indictments for libels tho jury
shall havo tho right to dctcrmino the law
and tho facts under tho direction of the
court, as In other cases.
This section applies to criminal prosecu
tions, but docs not chango tho law of evi
dence as to civil suits. In other words, ono
class of evidence is admisslblo in ono form
of action that is not in another. Not only
that, but by existing laws (or rulings) iu a
civil suit for libel, presumptions nrc formed
and evidenco excluded that is not the fact in
other civil suits.
The severity of our common law, which
wo inherited, is a matter of history. Theft,
and wtleh craft, wero punishable by death.
Under tho Roman law, libel was punishablo
by death. But prosecutions for libel under
tlio common law wcro extremely rare. In
fact previous to Edward III. no caso is re'
ported, and only ono during his reign. Tho
existing law was instituted by tho Star
Chamber of Charles 1st,, but was expunged
from English Courts by G and 7 Victoria,
and tho reform has been adopted in most of
the States.
It may bo truo that tho accepted common
law laid down by Sir Edward Coke and con
firmed by Lord Mansfield that "tho greater
tho truth tho greater tho libel" no longer is
maintained in this State, and that s'ince tho
decision of Lord Chancellor Erskine in the
case of Dr. Shipley tho jury nro not con
fined to the mere factof publication, but are
also judges of tho law. The statute of 32
Georgo III. settled this question.
The act of 1S43 (G and 7 Victoria,) before
mentioned, provided in substance that tho
truth should bo a valid defence if it wcro
published for tho public benefit, and that tho
defendant might plead in defence that the
alleged libel was published without actual
malice and without "gross negligence, ana
that before the commencement of the action or
at the earliest opportunitij afterwards, the de
fendant inserted an apology.
Wo therefore insist that in allcascs of libel
criminal or civil, the jury are entitled to
havo all the facts bearing upon the case,and
make up their verdict accordingly.
In conclusion wequoto tho following from
Jeremy Bentham, ono of England's most
distinguished writers, as peculiarly applica
ble to this question: "It cannot be denied
that men are apt, both as judges and jurors,
when coolly deciding in a court of justice,
to take offence at cxpressions.which, as ordi
nary readers, they never would havo blamed.
The judge comments upon the violent words
which he has no right to do, seeing that It is
the solo business of the jury to decide
whether the publication complained of is or
is not a libel ; and the jury, recollecting the
oath they are under, bewildered by the
vagueness of the law, are not permitted to
seek for all tho light winch might bo de
rived from investigating the truth or false
hood of the matter before them."
Bv invitation of the Pennsylvania Senate
and House of Representatives, as expressed
In their joint resolution, Hon. John W. For
ney addressed the members of Assembly
and a large number of Invited guests last
Tuesday cveningtn the Hall of the Houso
of Representatives. Mr. Forney was ac
companied by Hon. Mortou McMichacl,
Hon. A. K. McClure and Col. H. B. San
ford ; also by Peter A, B. Widener, John F.
Graeff, John W. Forney ,Jr., J. G. L. Brown
and John Dunn. Tho meeting was presided
over by Lieutenant Governor Latta, assisted
by Speakers Davis and Patterson. Mr.
Forney was frequently applauded. Col,
McClure, Hon. Morton McMichael nnd Col,
Sauford also mado speeches which were well
received. Tho Centennial was the sub
ject.
Brother Orville, besides controlling half
a dozen Indian tradcrships, admitted, in his
evidence beforo tho naval committee, that
ho has been doing a large business in the
way of getting contracts for business houses.
One Baltimore firm told a reporter, somo
days ago, that they found that it paid them
to retain the President's brother in their
nominal employ, paying him $2,400 a year
on account of his influence in getting con
tracts from the department. Orville con
firmed this statement, and confessed further
that ho received half tho profits on certain
contracts procured'from the Navy Depart
ment. Is it any wonder that the expense
of this department, iu 1874, amounted to
$30,032,587, while they were only ?U,514
G40 in 1800? There can bo no such things
as economy when the President's relations
pre not only quartered upon the country In
all sorts of positions, but also permitted to
job out contraoU at extravagant figures.
Times.
Reform and retrenchment is heard from
all parts of the country, but the most prac
tical movement in that direction! comes
from Governor Chamberlain, of South Car
olina. In his recommendation of a reduc
tion of all salaries not protected by the Coil'
stitution, ho enforces his argument by de-
elariili: that although his own salary was
protected ho would voluntarily submit to as
great reduction as may bo made generally
in other salaries, and lie recommended that
the reductiou bo one-third. Tho Governor's
message contains ono kenttneo of golden
quality, which sums up the duty of tho hour
not only In tjouth uarollna out in every
State, and places It iu the right: "Tho work
of retrenching expenses and removing abu
hcs is always difficult, but it is ulwaya
honorable, and at the present moment It Is
npcessary. ledger.

Wo would again caution our law makers
against making reckless appropriations.
Past precedents nro no justification, Tho
gravest errors of tho ago aro covered with tho
mouses of antiquity, Tlio pcoplo demand n
genuine reform not only In tho matter of
legislation, but in lis manner Tho pcoplo
madon new Constitution, but nbiNes creep
iu notwithstanding.
We aro led to this subject by observing
tho numerous hills Introduced at Harris-
burg for Centennial purposes, nnd the ra
pitllty of their passage. Tho amounts aro
not needed, nor should tho Stato squander
Its money In this manner. It may bo n fine
thing for our poorly drilled nnd badly clad
militia to cxposo themselves nt Philadelphia
at tho tax-paycrs'expense, but wo nro of tho
opinion that if they deslro such a display
they should pay for tho frolic out of their
own pockets.
And next comes n bill to erect n building
on tho Centennial grounds for tho Governor
nnd Legislature. If tlicso gentleman must
go, nnd cannot pay their own expenses
their constituents do not feel under obliga
Hons to foot hills for them.
Tho proceedings give thofullowing:

Then wo find this morsel:
Pomology is also to be represents at the

hns been introduced in the houso asking for
an appropriation of $2,500 for defraying the

And then the Grangers want $50,000, and

The Stato has been bled enough, and not

Moral of tlin llolknnp Case.
Tho crisis camo when nu ignorant soldier,
co.ir.so in his tastes and blunt In his percept
ions, fond of money and material enjoy menl
nnd of low company, was put iu tlio presi
dential chair. Wo blame nobody for this,
and nobody was blamcable. Tho party did
the best It could under tho circumstances,
but his real character as a civilian began to
appear very early in his administration. It
was fully revealed when ho received his
second nomination nnd tho day ho received
It tho republican party assumed tho respon
sibility for him and his followers which is
to-day covering it with infamy. We havo
been warning tho readers of this journal for
soven years that to this complexion it would
como nt last: that tlio regime- under which
wo wcro living was so co.trso and venal that
It must cud In somo awful catastrophe that
would cover us with shanio and fill us with
dcstnlr; that tho southern "outrages" wcro
but a blind, setup by tho thieves to throw
tho polico off tho scent, nnd that tho great
enemies of the freo government in tills
country wcro to bo found not In Louisiana
and Mississippi but In Washington; nnd that
tho chorus of adulation and apology which
was addressed every year by Republican
editors nnd Republican conventions to tho
President wcro only hardening a somewhat
obtuso and selfish naturo in courses nnd asso
ciations which wero full of danger to tho
country. Tho mischief is, however, by no
means Irreparable. Wo havo just ouo year
moro of this deplorablo administration to
bear with, and during that period wo must,
while pushing on tho work of investigation
and praying that tho discovery of guilt may
stop short of tho highest place, possess our
souls In patience. But it is still in the
power of the American pcoplo to seo that
tho aflliction does not recur by ctceting a
President whoso sympathies nnd assochv
'ions connect him with the best social life
of the country, who belongs to its meu of
honor and intellect nnd morality who is
familiar with its best political usages and
traditions, nnd who Is cither content with
tho fortuno ho has" got or whoso character
has been tried by temptation and resisted it,
nnd who has tho courago which is needed to
head a revolution. For revolution there
mu9t be. The reform of tho army of 80,000
civil officers must come, nnd it must come
in spite of the Camcrons and Mortons and
Couplings and Boutwclis mid Chandlers if
tho form of tlio government is to remain
unchanged. The Nation,
To The Farmers of Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania Stato agricultural so'
ciety at its meeting in January last resolved
to call the attention of tho agriculturalists
of this state to tho vast importance of a
proper display of that industry at the cen
tennial exhibition which commences in
Philadelphia, on tho seventh day of May
next and is to continue six months.
Great efforts havo been made on tho part
of its managers to bring into a combined ex
hibit a complete display of tho products of
the soil of Pennsylvania so that comparison
may bo had of our modes of tillage with
those of neighboring states and foreign
countries. No expenditure of money can
bring this about; no intelligence or activity
of management; only thoought earnest,
liberal contribution from the producer him
self, can make thin portion of tho exhibi
tion worthy of the profound attention which
it should receive. It is the advantage offered
to us as farmers and citizens to sustain the
honor of tho stato in peaceful rivalry with
tlio great industries of tho world. Our en
deavor should be to excel them all.
It is impossible in a circular nolo to go
over the whole of this subject. Our society
has taken such action as it was througli be
coming it should tako on behalf of the in
terests of the National Exposition in omit
ting its own exhibition for 1S7G, nnd by
tho offer of a largo sum to such objects of
merit ns may deserve reward. In view,
therefore, of this action of this society, nnd
in compliance willi the resolutions to which
notice has been called, wo respectfully ask
that the various county societies through
out the state who havo not yet perfected ar
rangements for holding fairs this year will
follow the example of our society and post
pone the same until 1877.
We find it impossible to stato iu detail
the regulations to be bo observed in making
entries on tho part of societies or individ.
uals, but it will afford tho president of tho
state society who is one of the state com
missioners great gratification to reply to
any application for information that may
bo mado to him by letters addressed to Cat-
tawissa, Columbia county, or under caro ol

An Honor to His Ancestors,
Mr. E. I). Winslow, it appears is an
honor to his ancestors. Ho comes of a
family ofdissoluto characters and lawbreak
ers, who wcro well known, years ago, in
and around Barre. Thomas Winslow was
repeatedly nrrested for counterfeiting, and
at last a box of bad bills was found in his
cellar. His brother, Mark, was ono of the
most noted counterfeiters In tho state, and
ended his life by suici.lo rather than serve
outasentencoof 12years. Edward, another
brother, followed tho saino trade, and spent
about half his life in jail. Lucrctin, a sis
ter was in tlio gang, nnd signed tlio bills.
Aftorward, removing to Pennsylvania, she
became tho reputed wife of a man who was
presently hanged for murder, and had her
self a narrow cscnpo front conviction as an
accomplice. Still later, sho joined a strol
ling theatrical company, and died nt the
south. Sho was a person of talent and win
ning manners, but of no prineipel. Two
other sisters of tho Winslows married well-
known counterfeiters. This family history
accounts both lor the cleverness and tho
crimes of the Boston forger. Ho had in
herited a tasto for deception and for getting
money dishonestly earned.
Grant's Disregard of Law,
That Grant has no respect for tho laws of
the land has been so often proved that it is
useless to cumulate evidenco to demon
strate it. But the caso of Priest Newman Is
so open a disregard of common decency
that it ought to be known, now that Ulys
sen objects tq cectarhui influences In govern
ment.
Priest Newman it Grant' confessor. Ho
preaches to him. Enlightens him. Uses
him. So to reward this right reverend pro
late, Grant sent him on a pleasure trip over
Europe, To puy his expenses Grant made
lim Inspector of consulates, and caused
tho public money to be lavished on him,
This trip cost tho public Treasury many
thousands of dollars. Mr. Fish, tho Sec
retary of State, disclaims all participa-
tion in this grab of the public money. It
wua (Irni)t who did it. Now how any ofli.
ccr who has pontrol of (hp public money,
could payout theso thousands or the peo
ple's money without authority of law, ahowa
the power, the abuse of power, tho disre
gard of law which Grant commits whcnevei
t spits his will, This cose is only ono ex
atnpleof Grwifidiireearti for law. (W.

Plnchback's claim Is now settled, It Is to
be hoped forever, and tho places which know
him unco will know him no more. Tlio
burden of his song to tho Senato now is
somewhat thus :
"I'd mourn tlio hopes Hint leavo me,
Slnco thy votes havo toft mo, too j
I'd weep when friends deceive me,
It they, llko you, had proved untrue."
Ho also had tho eubllmo Impudcneo to
claim $22,000 for having been for tlirce.yearB
a bono of contention botwecn the two par
ties In the Senate. If justico was done and
n balance struck it would bo found that
Piiichback really owes tho Government a
much larger sum than this, for occupying bo
mucn valuable time. Ho has not been con
testing a scat already occupied. Ho has
merely been attempting to establish a claim
which is now declared entirely unfounded
in law, nnd therefore tho costs should fall
upon him. It is said that his rejection can
bo traced to tho speech nf Senator Tliurmaii.
Up to the'tlmo when that speech was deliv
ered it was pretty certain that a majority
was in favor of Ills admission ; but Mr.Tlmr
man made such n logical statement of both
sides of the question as to convert Edmunds,
of Vermont; Morrill, of Maino; Christlan
cy, of Michigan, and Paddock, of Nebraska,
so that when the matter camo to nu Issue
tho result was a voto of 32 against to 29 In
favor of admission. Tho best lawyers hero
think that Kellogg has no authority to ap
point a Senator, but that the vacancy must
continue until the Legislature meets again.
Probably tho best feature in tho wholo af
fair, and that upon which tho country is
to bo congratulated, as an evidenco of u re
turning sense of what is due to justico and
the Constitution on the part of hitherto ex
tremely p.utiz.m Republicans, is the defeat
of Morton on this, his pet scheme. Ho has
nursed this project for such a Icngtn of time,
has displayed so much malicious ingenuity
in pressing it, and has counted upon Its suc
cess with so much faith, as something which
should obtain for him tho good opinion and
support of tho colored race South and nssist
his Presidential aspirations, that tho disap
pointment and chagrin must bo very great,
outsido of tho loss of prestigo as u leader,
which will certainly follow so signal a do
feat. Ono circumstanco deserves mention
in this connection as illustrative of tho real
sentiments of our Radical friends iu tlio up
per Houso as to tho "nigger." No sooner
was tho question decided against poor Pinch
back than Mr. Ferry gave orders that ho was
no longer to bo allowed upon tho floor of
that august and aristocratic body, while the
House, Democratic in nil things and far
moro charitable, gave him tho freedom of
tho floor during its sessions. Here is a fruit
ful theino for Senator Bruco, and wo would
respectfully suggest that ho "touch 'em up"
ou it.
This instance of want of feeling for tlio
misfortunes of a would bo Senator reminds
me of another, involving tho most flagrant
exhibition of ingratitude on tho part of
friends toward tlio lato War Secretary.
When he was taken beforo Judgo Suell of
the Polico Court, on the warrant of arrest,
and his bail fixed at $25,000, it was natural
ly to bo expected that the long train of
friendsif) who had for years feasted at his
table, rode m his carriage, and in a thousand
ways enjoyed a hospitality which was prince
ly and gorgeous extravagance, would havo
rushed forward in an enthusiastic and eager
crowd, vicing with each other us to who
should havo the distinguished privilege of
showing to an astounded country his indi
vidual confideuco in tho honor and honesty
of Mr. Belknap It was to bo expected that
some of the wealthy men of his party, some
of the Fishes and Chandlers, who saw iu
his fall tho premonitory symptoms of their
own decline would havo stepped to the front
in the bitter hour of his adversity ,aud sworn
to bind up his wounds nnd pour upon them
the balm of friendly offices. But, alas 1 such
was not the case, and like the priest and Le
vite, they "passed on tho other side," For
hour after hour he sat iu an ante-room ad
joining tho court, his head bowed upon his
hands, alqno with his crime and its punish
ment, whilo Mr. Carpenter, his attorney,
hurried hither nnd thither to find a bonds
man for tho pitiful sum of $25,000 1 It isan
old, old story of "man's inhumanity to man,"
and gives Belknap much reason to believe
that Goldsmith spoko truly when he said :
All I what Is friendship but a namo?
A charm that lulls to sleep;
A shade, that follows wealth nnd fame,
And leaves tho wretch to weep.
In the matter of tlio demand of tho Grand
Jury for the secret records of its committee,
embodying the evidenco of Marsh,tho House
stands upon its privileges and refuses to send
them beforo tho jury. The Republicans,
headed by Blaine, are anxious to make it
appear that tho Democrats nro by this action
obstructing tho ends of justice, when, in
fact, tho Houso cannot, consistent with its
own dignity, adopt any other course. Blaine
complains that tho Committee released
Marsh, and gavo him money to pay ills way
ti Canada. The fact is, they released the
witness, liko any other court, when through
with him ; he received the witness fees to
which ho was entitled by law, and then, of
his own freo will nnd accord, and for reasons
known to himself, left for Canada.
But another fact was brought out in tho
discussion the other day, which is of much
importance. Mr. Ilhilnc, with his usual
cunning, took tlio trouble to goto tlio Ar
lington Hotel, and there saw Marsh depart
at oxactly 1.30 p. in. Ho then rushed spas
modically and franiically up to his scat iu
tho Houso nnd proclaimed that the Commit
tee was tho causo of his cscapo from tho
hands of justice. Nuw the question very
naturally arises in our minds: If Mr, Blaino
was at tho Arlington at 1.30 p. m nnd
knew ns ho charges, that Marsh had com
mitted perjury and been discharged from cus
tody, why did ho not arrest him ? Why did
ho allow him to escape when ho could havo
prevented it? Good; auiiablo Mr. Blaino
saw a chance to "mnko a point" on the op
position, and ho would rather a hundred
guilty men should escape, than that ono in
nocent man (liko himself) should (differ
disappointment in his schemes. (N. B.
He could havo mado a Marsh If ho hud
wished.)
Ono vould realy need thp cachlnnatory
apparatus of Master Charley Bates, in "Oli
ver Twist," to do justico to the subject when
ho sees tlio Republican members who have
failed to accomplish, iu five years steady in
vestigation, what tho Democrats havo douo
iu ns many weeks ; now, when concealment
is no longer possiblo and tho country do
rpawk the punishment of thieves, leaping
Into the breach like Ancient Pistol, swelling
and blustering, about what we did and what
we aro going to do, and ut tho saino time
raking up every old, stalo fraud of the last
century, and magnifying its dimensions to
enormous silo i thinking, amid the dust ami
noise aid tumult they occasion, to hide their
qwn crimes and divert tho attention ot the
people from them. The saino plan Is resort
ed to by tho Cuttle-fish, but with a wl lo
awake, intelligent community it will surely
fftll, RjiNq.
THE STATE CAPITOL.
IlAitttisiiuna, March 14, 187G,
During tho session of last night, as usual,
several "apples of discord" wcro cast upon
tho tapis, First and foremost nmotig theso
was a resolution offered by Mr. Foster, of
Schuylkill, Instructing Congress to present
it medal or somo other mark of distinction
to tho llvo military companies of Pennsylva
nia who first responded to tho call for troops
in tho lato war. Two companies from Potts
vllle, ono from Reading, ono from Allen
town, and ono from Lcwistown wcro named.
The resolution was adopted, and no sooner
was the Houso adjourned than linllcirtloiis
were manifested that this resolution is likely
to oxelto no little ienlousy among tlio veter
an soldiery of tlio Commonwealth.
Your readers will recollect that last year
gravo charges wcro mado against a corpora
tion formerly styled "The Laurel Run Im
provement Company," but nt present doing
business under tho namo of "Tho Reading
Coal and Iron Co." A commlttco of Inves
tigation into the condition of tho affairs of
this company was appointed, which commit
tee, after working arduously all summer nt
Cape May, succeeded iu making up a report
which didn't mean very much and which on
its presentation to tho present Legislature
cnuscd scarcely a ripplp. Last night Mr.
Jameson, of Bucks county, again disturbed
the equanimity of this company, which has
been resting lu fancied security, by introduc
ing a bill which in a summary manner au
thorizes the Governor to appoint fivo disin
terested persons in whom shall be vested all
tho properly, real mid personal, of tho
"Reading Coal nnd Iron Company," these
persons to bo known as tho board of receiv
ers of this company. They aro to givo such
security ns tho court of common pleas of
Dauphin county shall fix, Theso receivers
having sold tho property and effects of said
company and having marshalled tho assets
shall apply tho same to tho payment of tho
dehu of said company, and the balaneo of
tho money to and among the stock-holders
therein pro rata according to the number juf
shares held by each, Now "wo shall see
what wo shall see" in regard to this move
ment.
Tho bituminous coal initio ventilation bill
has not yet been rescued from the clutches
of the House. Nearly tho whole of to-day
was passed in its consideration. Amend
ments without number were showered upon
it, and to cap tho climax of its troubles a
bitter partizan fight sprang up upon the
question of the appointing power to be nam
ed in the bill, for niino inspectors, &c. The
Governor alone was first mentioned, but it
was deemed by the Democrats rather an uu
safe proceeding, so they determined that the
Secretary of Internal Allliirs at present a
Democrat should bo associated with the
Governor in the making of these appoint
ments. So bitter grew tho fight that for a
littlo while this morning tho fate of tho.bill
was very uncertain. Tho amendment, how
ever, was finally inserted. Tho bill now
awaits tho final action of the House.
Quito a littlo stir was mado to-day by tho
refusal of Speaker Patterson to place his
namo to a Senate bill because the Speal-cr
of tho Senate had first placed his there. Mr.
Patterson claiming that according to parlia
mentary usago tlio name of tho Houso
Speaker should appear first. When tho ac
tion of Mr. Patterson was announced to the
Senate it was met with a storm of indigna
tion. Tlio Speaker of tlii House was de
nounced for his action, and there was somo
wild talk of compelling him by the courts
to aflix his signature to the bill. In tho af
ternoon Speaker Patterson placed his name
to the bill, but before that of'tlic Speaker of
Senate. Tho matter will probable rest jut
where it is. Certainly no further notice
should bo taken of it.
Hon. J. W. Forney is delivering his ad
