retain his seat. The committee will soon
render a decision.
l S. Ou Wednesday the committee
reported in favor of Col. M'Clure, who
was immediately' swot n into office and
took his seat. As we have not seen the
report we are unable to state the reasons
in detail on which thu mnjority of the
committee baae their action. It id safe
to say, however, that from the magnitude
of the fiaudd developed doling the inves
tigation, public sentiment had auticipated
the conclusion at which the committto
hid arrived. The result sounds the death
knell of the corrupt and lawless radical
election ling in Philadelphia. This ahne
is a triumph of right and justice at which
all honest men will rejoice exceedingly.
Tuk Ixk;al Or HON bill has finally
painted both branches uf the Legislature
and has been sent to the Governor for h;
signature. The bill, in its present shape,
submits the question of license to a vote
vi Iho people in c-'tUt and couuti'c," and
is not limited to 'lcti's, boroughs aid tourn
,, as wan proposed in the original
bill. Following is the full text of the act
as it passed the Senate aud was sent Co
the House, and in this ahupe no doubt it
will become the law :
A .Act to permit the voters of this com
moLweaUu to vote every three years on
the question ot grunting licenses to sell
intoxicating liquors.
Section 1. Be it enacted, etc., That on

just now a the Convent ion of liberal anti
Grant republicao which will 'assemble
at Cincinnati ou Wednesday, the 1st of
Maj. It promises to be largely attended
and to number umonu its members many
, of the ablest and most influential men in
of nominating candidates for the I'risi
denry i nl Vice t'residency, but to express
its btcrn opposition to the blunders and
corruptions of Grant' administration and
to announce the essential and true princi
ples upon which the government ought to
be aJiuinioteieJ, it seems now t be pret
ty well settled that a national ticket will
be placed in nomination. It seems alao
to bo understood that one of the four fol
lowing named gentlemen will be ifjmina-
an opportunity of exhibiting its stiength
at the election in New Hampshire, where
it claimed to bo well organized and to be
a mighty power iu the State, and yet it
did not poll over Jive Lundnd votes. If
this miserable effort in one of its boasted
strongholds was a fair indication of its
strength throughout the country, then as
a formidable political body it is "not worth
a row f pin," and the Labor IJcfurm
party may as well hang up its harp und I
its candidate on the willows. f
J udge D&vis, in our opinion, will not
develope much force at Cincinnati. Mr.
Trumbull is a gentleman of superior at
tainments and unrpotted reputation. Hid
long experience as a Senator and his Ihor
oogh acquaintance with the adniibis:ra
live affairs of the goverrmert eminently J
qualify him for the office of President.
Governor Ih own id a man of marked abil
ity and great decision of character, and
may be regaided as the originator of the
Missouri movement. Like Jude Trum
bull, he commenced political life as a
d mocrat. The chances of Charles Fran
cis Adamc, although he is undoubtedly
one of tie foremost statesmen of the coun
j tr'
will be mateiially lessened .from the
fact that in New England, where he rei
side?, the liberal movement has not made
very rapid pugresa All the indications
therefote point to the nomination either of
Mr. Trumbull or Gov. Brown. If there
is any substantial difference between the
political tiews entertained by these two
gentlemen arid those held by Jeremiah S.
Black, Thomas A. Hendricks, Allen J.
Thorman, and other acknowledged demo
cratic leader?, we confess that we have
not been able to disc-over it. With either
Trumbull or Brown as the candidate,
standing on a broad, liberal an4. honest
platform, the fate of the present corrupt
and jobbing administration is irrevocably
doomed.
The report of the proceeedings in Con
gress on the 22d instant dUcloscs the fol
lowing interesting facts :
Mr. JJeCnahT. fiom the Committee on
Elections, reported a recolutiou to pay to
Mr. Cessna, of Tenunyl vauia. the unsticcea.
ful contestant for th seat of U. F. Meyers,
$4,480 as his actual, reasonable, and neces
sary expense.
Ha atatttd that the Committee jad required
itemized accounU uuer oath from all the
contestauta. aud il at this sum was SI. 500
Ies than tbe account presented Theamouot
paid to unauccensful contestant at the last
Cot)gres was $113,000. The resolution waa
adopted.
When it ii recollected that John Cess
na's trumped-up claim to a seat in Con
gress was so barefaced and indefensible
that but one member of the nine gentle
men who compose the Committee on Elec
tions voted in favor of it, it will be con
ceded that this shameless demagogue has
been pretty liberally paid for his misera
ble failure. If this shall only prove to
be Cessna's political finale, the people
will not complain, even though the con
sideration paid fr such a blessing has in
deed been extravagant. The statement
made by Mr. McCrary, who is chairman
of the Committee in Elections, that the
amount paid to unsuccessful contesfactd
at the last Congress was Si 13,000, is
well calculated to create astonishment.
Under radical rule it has become bo com
mon for a defeated republican to contest
the right of a democrat to his seat, al
though his majority might have ran up
into thousands, that the pursuit of a seat
in Congresd under difficulties has been
eq ially as remunerative as its actual pos
session. . It bad 'become a regular trade
for the mere purpose of making money,
which is the ulpha Kudonuga ia the cata
chisnj of all radical politicians. It was
the easiest thing in the world for a defeat
ed candidate in a Southern Stale to get
up a show of a contest on the ground, for
instance, that the negroes were ". terrified
from attending the polls by threats aod
violence, when it id a notorious fact that
in States ia which tbfl election last, two

baggers, for the ixpress purpose of voting
and when he faikd to raakeuut his case,
to call upon the Treasury, through an act
of Congress, to pay him an extravagant
compensation. A new rule, however, we
believe baa been adopted, not to appropri-
witnesses, etc. lhis has cut up the bus
iness of the carpet-baggers by the roots,
so that the practice is now more honored
in the b:each than in the observance.
A Ruluctl Stale.
The following extracts from a letter if
its authorized correspondent, publiohed in
the New York Tribune, will give ur
readers an adequate conceptiou of the de
plorable condi ion into which South Car
olina has been plunged by the corruption
and igrioranco of iho negroes and unprin
cipled white adventures who now rule the
affairs of that State. It is a true but
melancholy picture, and elegantly exposes
the sins and infamies of radical rcconstruc
tion in a State iu which a majority of the
vottrs are ignorant and degraded negroes,
who are made the instruments and tools
of carpet-bag thieves and plunderers in
carrying out their unholy purposes. Is it
to be wondeied at that ku-kluxism made
its home in South Carolina t Such a state
of affairs as this correspondent depicts
would stir up a rebellion even in m radi

commonwealth so exclusively loyal as
Massachusetts.

"It is sometimes a.kd why the white

is, that the jealousy of the black of hid old

Company:
Mr. Chairman, the echoes of the lamenta
tion of the distinguished , ueutlemau from
Massachusetts. Mr. Dawe the Chairman
of the Committee of Ways and Means, over
the doleful condition of the finance if the
Country, have scarcely died away iu this
House, and they are still lingering in the
land. Ouly last week he bewailed the ex
travagance of legislation, aud predicted great
national embarrassment uu'ess a halt be
speedily called. Aud yet to day we u'ud him
with his arm deep down into the national
Treasury, endeavoring to take from it a tub
sidy of S 1.000,000 fn the bem fit of a steam
ship company, thus aiding, with hi recog
nized influence upou this Hjor, to produce
the very result which he so strongly and
piteously deplortd. bir, I admit his shrewd
ness, his fiuo way of putting things; but to
my ear there is no harmony between his
eloquence and his acta. He was sty led here,
a fewr days ago, "tha artful dodger," aud iu
view of his speech last week and bis present
course the country may not regard the des
ignation as undeceived. Hi voice is always
loud aod dear aud strong wheu theories are
to bo advanced, and wheu the note of warn
ing is to be given to the cuuutry ; but wbeu
a bold, uaked measure comes heie assaulting
tho Tieasury in the interest of corporation
aud organized wealth, hw vote, uuii.Huei,cd
by his own ek queuce, aud regardless of bis
own appeal for economy, i given agaiutt
the lejpl aud iu favor of tbe most extrav
agant appropriations. Of courte be Is
houe6t, aud bis support of this -measure
spiiugs from his conviction that it is right ;
but it is the fortune or misfortune of some
gentlemen to be ao peculiarly constituted as
to sea one side tf a question involving the
inlerist of corporate power ami iganizcil
wealth on the oue hand and tbe interests of
the people on lbs other. Aud in bis course,
so bua iu theory aud to txtiavagaut in prac

Mr. Chairmau, the ehqusnt grntlcoiau

contest between the fUg of the American
nation and the Cross f fct, George. Sir, I
y ield uot to him iu davotiou to any couulry.
I love its flag wi:h its stars aud stripes, and
I wmld hit it high upon the land aud up
ou the sea; but I would plaut the staff of
that flag deep in the afTcoiiou and luve of
the people. I would stiuglheu it with
equal and jut aud bomfi;ut laws, aud I
would have it float foiever as the proud
emblem of a nation governed by au honest
C-jugibb aud au houest aJministraliou of
the (Jovemmeut.
Sir, the Cross of St. George represent tbe
wealth of Britain's titled ansticntcy, while
the ti ig of the Uciou ia the pride aud the
bost of America' untitled m.liions. Tne
one is the hope .f the few, the other of the
many. Subsidies and land graut to cor
porations, which iu plaiu lauguage are
robberies of the people, shed uo luster upon
our flag. The gioiy which beams from it
star was won from a far different fild.
This reference to the flag by the gentle
man from New Yoik Mr. Brooks seams
to me ill-timed. Hi love for our prosperi-t
ty upou the sea grows weak wheu applied
to the development of our iudutries at
home, lie would close the workshops and
manufacturing establishments of our peo
ple for the purpose of opauing a market for
the products of fereigu labor. He wou!d
keep bu.iea iu the earth our untold miner
al wealth, and hush to sileuce the hoarse
music of our furnaces and f.irge iu the in

he would euloghe the American eagle, and
vote away $1,000,000 of the people's money

Mr. Chairman. Congress has given iu
mouey and laud almost, a hundred mil
lion dollars to tho Tacit'ic tailroad compa
nies; aud now it is proposed to give a
milliou more of the paopl' money to briog
trade to these railways. If the government
a to build these road and thou furnish them
with business, had it not better own them
aud raap the pr fits of its own capital ? If
the Pacific, ateamship company is to have a
subsidy of $1,000,000 mi tbe pretense of
securing to u the trade of Chiua and Japan,
why shall uot the d.lfuraut line of steamers
ruuniug from our eastern citit to liiiropc
a'so receive subsidies ? ' And theu, . why
shall uot all the steamship compauie s on our
lakes receive the same Government aid?
Aod wherever a railroad company find it
busiuaaa unprofitable, why shall it not como
to Congress aud get a subsidy on the grouud
of aidiug commerce 1 The principle ia
wholly wrong. These corporation are pri
vate enterprises ; their profits belong to their
stockholders, and thair 10rcs, if any should
be borne by them. -Tbsse subbidis are
taken out ot the public Treasury, from the
people' money, and paid to a few individ

vate speculations for their owa profit. If
the people are to furnish the capital to carry
on these corporate enter prisee, to bear the
losses, why uot, then, share the profits?
It i tbe law of all general partnerships

"The legislature of Pennsylvania is ia no
mind to have an unrestrained press free to

aome restraiut . on legislation. The bill
recently brought into that enlightened body,
by the editorial association of the state, for
the protection of the press, was inconti
nently killed, and the present uncivilized
and imperfect provisions remain iu force
almost silencing the state press ia its efforts
to rtform abuse or denounce dishonesty."
