radical Speaker of the present House of
The idea of numbering tlic ballots of
voters, as the new Constitution provides, is
not new, as some may suj. pose. The State
of Texas lias always voted in that manner,
av.d it i said to 1-e an effective cheek so
far as human means can devise a chevk ,
against fraudulent voting. The honor of .
first adopting a numbered ballot belongs, '.
therefore, to Texas, and not to Pcnusjl
vania. I
Scheming and corrupt members ef the
lobby at llarrishurg during the present
session are as scarce as fis in Iceland. It
is a consummation devoutly to be wished.
If ever the bafce occupation of a ret of un
scrupulous and b1a2.en-f.1ced thieves and
plunderers of the Statu Treat ury was com
pletely and absolutely destiycd, it was on
th ICth of December, when the people
ratified the new Constitution. It is re
ported that even Pete llerdie is thorough
ly disgusted with the new dispensation,
and that, like the Aral, he intends folding
up his tent a::d silently stealing away to :
South Carolina, where he expects to be- ;
come the colleague iu the United States
Senate of John J. Patterson, another puro :
and immaculate son of tho Keystone State. '
The President, having been compelled by
the public sentiment of the country to with
draw the name of George 11. Williams as
Chief Justice from the Senate, has nomi
nated Caleb Cushmg for that position,
llr. dishing is a ripe scholar, an al.lo
lawyer, and is intimately acquainted with
the structure and working of our govern
ment. Although there exists an impassi
ble gulf betweeu dishing and Williams,
we are not disposed to regard the nomina
tion of the former as the best that could
have been made. It is the best, however,
that, could have been expected from Grant,
and if the Senate is wise it will confirm
Cushing. If it does not, and Giant takes
another plunge, he may reach even a more
profound depth than he did when he
brought George II. Williams to the sur
face. His ways are so incomprehensible,
that if tho Senate rejects the nomination

manifests a careful purpose to abstain

are calculated to leeall past political eon

Tut: irresistible force of public opiniou
in opposition to the confirmation of Geo ;
H. "Williams as Chief Justice of the Uui- '
ted States, brought Grant to his kneey, j
and iu deference thereto he was compelled
last week to withdraw the nomination ;
from the Senate. Thus ends the tirrt chap- ;
ter in this most disgraceful proceeding.
It is true that the withdrawal was made
at the request of Williams himself, but not
uutil he was convinced that his rejection ;
was a foregone conclusion. The appoiut-
laent was an insult to the intelligence of ;
the country, and was only surpassed in 1
yucieut days by the unmanly folly of the 1
Komau Emperor, Caligula, who elevated :
his horse, Incitatus, to the consuLhip.
That Grant should nominate Williams to
the highest judicial office iu the country;
ought not, however, to cieate special won- 1
der, after his appointment of Amos T. Ac- !
kerinan, of Georgia, to tho oftice of At tor- j
1 cy General. If there was wanting any '
additional evidence to prove Williams" total ;
ury. The attention of the legislature, is
earnestly directed to the Sinking Fund.
In recent years the revenues accumulated
in the Sinking Fund have vastly outgrown
the purpose lor which they were treated,
which was to provide for the interest on
the public debt, and to decrease tho prin
cipal to the extent of $250,000 a year. The
governor recommends such a readjustment
of the revenues as will enable the Commis
sioners of the Sinking Fund to meet the
requirements of the Constitution.
Ou the subject of the Centennial the
governor earnestly appeals to the legisla
ture to grant such aid as will ensure the
success of this great patriotic and national
project. As this is a national eutorpri&e he
hopes that direct and substantial assistance
will also come from the general govern
ment, which has thus far manifested too
j muc fe'- j luo ituuson. 10 our positive knowledge,

Mie new Constitution, in Article II, Sec.
C, declares that tho members of tho Gen

and mileage is shall be jized by lair, but '
that no member of either House shall, dur
iag tho term for which he may have been
elected, receive any increase of salary or
mileage under y law pn$$d during tuch

the meaning t.f this section. Under it tho '
present Legislature' may fix the salary at
' Us present rate, which ii amply sufficient,"

tljes, the law will only apply to future ws-

from public care. Compulsory education
is again brought to the attention of the
legislature.
Prison lo form and the condition of the
instuutiv.;.s of the Slate for the care o the
insane, receive considerable attention, and
a number of important suggestions are
mad'.1 em these subjects.
The State banks, saving funelsand trust
companies are considered. The governor
is convi::ccd:that the piaetiee of banks of
disc.mnt paying interest on deposits should
be prohibiletl. lie regaids this system of
purchasing deposits a: one of the ohLf
causes of the ciah of 1857. lie suggests
the appointmt.nl e.f a commissioner to ex
amine all Slate banks trust companies and
saving funds, anil that these institutions
be required to publish quarterly statements
of assets and liabilities. There are other
go d iccommendai.ioi6 in this connection,
but it is not likely that the people will re
gaiel with much favor the lecommendation
of a commission. Such examinations as
govern mental commissions make aro more
liable to eleceive th.vn allord i.: format ion
for the protection ef the public.
The insurance bureau, the work of the
fish commissioners, the bureau of statis
tics, tLe national guaid, the land depart
ment, the State ai serial, and other topics
of public interest aie discussed. For yet
another time the geological survey looms
up. The governor suggests that a survey
bo made under the supci i.iteneleiico of ten
practical gentlemen representing tlifusrent
interests and localities. A chemical anal

direct application to herself and family,

result was that she became insane, was
