The Republican State Convention has
been called for the 10th of Aprit nt Harris
burg. The contort tor Governor U.said to
be between Hartranft, White and Jordan
tlrav. radical, was fleeted senator,
iu tho 4th district, Philadelphia, over
M'Clone, bv a greatly reduced tuajor
itf. This give* the rads 1 majority
in the seoata.
There was a livtly time ia tb* Keo
lucky senata, en tha maroiag of 27th
ult. The senator from Louisville,
and tbe senator from Grant county,
get high on a railroad bill, ana both
drew pistols. They were removed by
the MTge*nt-at-arm*.
Tha Harrisburg Morning Patriot,
speaking of tbe (prevent legislature
avs:
"First as well as last ths mortify
ing confession must be made. Never,
since ths first rain ran off tbe roof of
the capitol. has a body so feeblt, so
incompetent,and so corrupt, been as
tempkd within its walls."
EQUALITY.
By the 14th and 15th amendments.
Km! Douglas*, or any other negro can
be elected to the presidency of the
I'nited State?, but Carl Shuri or Gen.
Jus. Shield? cau not, because born on
foreign soil. This ia a stigma upon
our country, and to it wipe eut, the
proposed 16th amendmeut should be
adopted, which would be nothiug more
than placing a naturalised foreigner
upon au equal footing with the negro
in this country. But strange aud in
consistent as it tnay seem, the radical
party which brayed so long and to loud
ibr negro equality, now opposes the
adoption of the 16lh amendment, after
giving all the rights possessed
hy a native born American. Is this
true statesmanship?
All the nigger congressmen voted
against the proposed 16th amendment,
by which a foreigner ia made eligible
to the Presidency. This shows that
the black statesmen have no high ap
preciation of the "equality" doctrine
which raised them to an equality witb
the white man. or elae they lack a
proper understanding of it. Sambo
evidently thinks that he is better than
a white foreigner, and that lbs Irish
man and the German ia not a "man
and a brethtr," as is the African.
lu another column lb readers of
the REPORTER will find the doing* of
the liberal republican* of Missouri, in
state convention. Thi* movement, ■*
for mid able, has struck terror into the
tanks of the corrupt crew of t Grant
• tfiw holders. Ws have no doubt if
the honest portion of the republican*
had the power. Grant and hi* cor
rupt administration would soon be
ended. We honor republican* who
boldly strike for reforaa. Let reform
in the administration of our affair* be
the watchword of all honest men, of
whatever party, and let it be car
ried to the polia, for it ia high time
that the rascalg, republican or dem
ocrats, be put down.
The Newspapers Cause Presldenl
Grant to Coma Down.
The President has given hi* check
for SSOOO to balance his little ac
count which has been standing against
him in the Treasury department since
he was an armyjofficer.
This shows the influence of the
press. Thi* defalcation of Grant'*
dates backto the Mexican war. Pres
ently the newspaper* got to find it
out, and published it; Grant became
ashamed, aud accordingly, a few day*
ago, sent in hi* check for the SSOOO,
which he thought bad gone into for
getful ness. But he should also be
made to pay the interest, which would
have been demanded from any other
citizen.
Proposed New Railroad.
We understand, saystbe Lewistown
Democrat, that arrangements are being
made for building a branch road from
Adamshtirg, on the line of the Sunbury
and Lewistown RR.. nurthwaidly
across Mid lie C're k Va ley, (passing
soutii of Trexelville,) tbencc east
wardlv thraugh C-entreville, where the
line crosses Penn's Creek, and thence
north-eastwardly to Mifflinburg, where
it will connect* with the Lewisburg,
Centre and Hprueo Creek RK. This
new link will be only 16 miles in
length, and will reduce the distance
from Lewisburg to Lewietowu and all
point* west at least 12 miles over all
other routes, and open up a large num
ber of iron-ore beds, is well as a large
lumber trade. Many prominent citi
zen- i.f lewisburg are urging this pro
ject, and its speedy accomplishment is
among the things eutirely probable.
The formal opening of the Muncy
Creek Railway took place on Tues
day of last week, the 16th instant
This road connects tbo Phila. and
Erie road, at Muncy. with tbo Cata
wiata road, at Hall's Basin, and is part
of the link of ninety miles, "conned
ing Bingham ton with Williamsport,
taking in the coal mines, other miner
al deposits and vast timber regions in
Quilivan county, and completing an
important trunk railway from Boston
to Pittsburg, almost on the air-lino be
tween these points."

What proposition could he more un
reasonable and union ? What justice
is there iu passing a law directing all
advertising to be done in the licllc
fonte papers, and notu otlnr in the
county ? Ito not ill* printers outride
the county seats, pay taxes, nud ten

such work, leaving the jiai|*r olfiivis,
who are the best judges what niedi
uaia to select, no choice or say iu lh
matter ?
This mov is gottei. up and favored
by interested partita, and sordid **d
fishnet* is at the bottom of it, and this
spirit will attempt to have it put
through tbe Legislature ami made a
law.
No honest, fairmiudrd editor will fa
vor such a propositi*!* -it u oulv the
sordid, seltish, sneak thief, sheep
faced Shy lock, who would steal the
pennies from his dead grandmothers
eyes, and sell his sou! to the devil for
a little filthy lucre, that would have
the impudence to favor such a law.
From what we gather of the pub
lished proceeding* of the lata editorial
convention at Hnrrisburg there weie
such narrow minded, M-ltuh shcepfacts
prewent, to disgrace the crafl, by favor
ing the enactment of such a law
I'pou this shtepface principle, no
paper outside of Washington city
should have any advertising coming
from the national government, and no
paper outside of Harrisburg have a
crumb of advertising coming from
the state government. Suppose this
latter be proposed, how would the
sheepfaced, sneak-thief Shylucks, who
prwpuse to monopolize the county ad
vertising, and bv iaw cut out the pub
lishers outside the county towns hew 1
and raise their hands iu holy horror ?
Yet the principle is just the same.
We expect there aie interested par
ties in tbe legislature, who will try help
themselves by assisting in the passage
of such an act.
Such a law is uncalled for. There
is uo justice iu it- There is uo wis
dom i;> it. There is no reason for.it.
It is siuiplv an outrage. It is meaner
fhau the lowest order of nepotism
and tbe quintessence of sorduiism.
As a matter of course, none but a
narrowiuindtd county-town Shyl ck
would advocate so unfair a law, ami
no faiuuinded legislator will give it
his vote. We will venture, that
could the brain of those selfish sheep
faces, who fa core-1 such a proposition
iu the editorial convention, lie exam
ined, it would be found cramped up
and contracted like the mouth of
a green persiinon eater.
We trust the legislature will show
its good sense by voting dowu such a
propositi.n, in'spite of interested mem
hers who may favor it.
This matter can not be bettered,
I and that is not the intention bv such
| a bill —the bidden intention is to en
able some to grasp and monopolize all
i to the exclusion of other parties.

The corrupt ignorauce, not ignorant
corruption says the World, which pre
vails at the White House, babbles
about Leet's office in the Custom-
House, aud that he may be removed.
Leet was appointed to no office. He
put him up for a job. Leet was not

to receive inccme from general-order
business. He neither owned nor was
proprietor then of a tint Class 111.

by as a copartner by Grant. He did
neither work uor anything else. Sub
sequently he did become a proprietor,
with Abe Wakeman and Shed Shook

not an officer of (he customs nor more
than is a cart man. And yet Grant
and bis partisans talk as if the civil

the Collector, "on approval of the Sec
retary of the Treasury," shall desig

Gentleman, you can't in this way
conceal your nastineas, or remove its
odor! The transaction of Grant, Por
ter, Jtidge Deut, Bout well, Grinoell
and Murphy, was a bold job, unre
deemed by a single palliatiug feature.
Just *s much a job as if Grant owned
the beneca quary and ordered all the
stone used on government works to he
purchased of him at his prices!
Put that in your pipes and sinoke

The -Sua says that one of the most
experienced public men of this city
estimates the profits of the General
Order robbery of New York mer
chant* now enjoyed by Major Leei's
•'mess 'at over a million of dollars
a year. Divided into four shares,
this would give two hundred ami fifty
thousand dollars for each purtuer,
enough to enable ea-h one to buy and
stock a farm near Si. Ixuis every
year.
Leel, one of < iiant's |>et* who i* said
to be coining money out of the New
York merchants, is thus shown up In
die Tribune, of that city :
"Leet continued to hung about the
Wtiite House and draw- full pay ami
allowances as a colonel in the U*ulai
army till August .Ith, 1870, more than
a year after he had had obtained con
trol in good part of the "general order"
business here. Then he resigned, tak
ing the benefit of an ai l of C'o<)K ro *"
which offered a year's pay and extras
to those army officer* w ho would do so.
He wss thus actually paid a* Colonel
up to August .lib, 1871, by which
time he and his confederates in the en
joymeut of this "plum" must have
gouged at least *2OO,HM out of the
commerce of this port, a sum which
we presume they have since raised to
quarter of a million dollars."

Tim following i nn interesting slice
11 OIK the proceeding* in l". S Senate,
Jan. 22nd
The amnesty bill calm up * unfin
ished business. Mr Edmund* (Rad ,
Vt.l had the floor, hut was itnahle,
owing to ather engagements, to pro
ceed with hi* remarks.
Mr. llsv is (Dem , Kv ) moved to
Inv aside the Amm-tv hill iufnuuilly
for the purpose ul taking up his use
lution directing the lommittee on
Uetrenchmeiit to impure whether the
President lias conferri d public uffiees
of trustor profit in return lor presents,
and lias been guilt* of other miscoit
duel. He ottered a dualities I ioU nt il (
direeting the committee to iiiipure inioj
the expediency ot l'..ngies passing a
law forbidding auy prison iu the ser
vice at the United Stairs to receive
anv gift or to appeuit any ot his rela |
lives to office. . j
Messrs Conkling ( Had., N Y.) and:
Mortou (Had , Ind ) were willing U
have the resolution takt-U up, but uoi
by laving the Amnesty bill aside in
formally, liecause that would enable
any Senator to cut off the debate by
calling for the regular order.
Mr, Sumner opposed laying 11 e
Amnesty bill aside otherwise than it*
formally, and thought that Mr. Da
vis ought to be allowed to t*k up bis
resolution and make hi* speevh in this
the ordmsrv wav.
Mr Cunkling said that this was a
verv extraordinary resolution, and lf
desired whenever it should be taken
up it should be fully discussed and
pressed to vote, so that the judgement
of the American Senate might be
promptly given upon it* merits and
us propriety.
Mr. Davis 1 cwiml* tbst
this resolution i#a very extraordinary
one; but 1 insist that the subject
and the occasion of it aie very extia
ordinary too, iLaughter.) liicy sie
amply sufficient to justify the reolu
tiou—at least, they are so iu mv judg
ment, and I decide questions of propri
ety for myself. Mr. Davis than quo
ted from Mr. Conkiing's speech ou the
retreuchmeut debate belure th* recess,
in which lie said that whenever any
body should propose any inv.*stiguii<>u
aimed at either individuals or officials,
or would point out anv branch of tbe
public service, he (Mr. (aukling)
w..uld tavor the most radical and
sweeping investigation thai could be
devised, and said : "Now, here is a
branch of the public service ueeding
investigation. 1 have proposed this
resolution on my own responsibility,
and whatever may be the scandal of it
1 atu ready to bear it. I want the
king of the political forest as well us
the lesser beasU to be investigated.
( Laughter.) I waul the committer to
investigate
"the lion in hi* Jen.
The Douglas in hi* hall*,'
and. for one, 1 urn disposed to lead a
march to beard that liou iu hi* den.
(Laughter.) The office of Chicl Kxe
cutive Magistrate is said to be the
fountain of houor ; but it is the fouri-
uiu of dishonor, of abuse and corrup
tion in our country. 1 want it puri
tied by free, manly, unfettered, and,
unfaltering investigation. AN hat
have we seen wltltiu a few days! '/' Ac
President of the I'nited Statet published
a* a defaulter to the amount of four or
lire thonsana dollars for upuarcU of
twenty yean. I presented ray resolu
tion. The newspapers opened upon
him, and at last, driven by the denun
ciations of the vipers, or some other
cause, he was forced to come forward
and male good the amouut of his defal
cation."
Mr. Sherman suggested that the
Senator (Mr. Davis was discussing
the merits ef his resolution, although
it was not befere the Senate.
Mr. Davis —Then I will not pursue
that line of remark.
Mr. Sherman said that the Senator
from Kentucky (Mr. Davis; must
know that when he offered a resolu
tion arraigning the President in this
! way, it roust give rise to a general die
cussiou. He was willing to postpone
the Amnesty bill, with the
ing that this resolution was to take its,
place until disposed of, aud he gave
notice to the friend? of the Amnesty
bill that he would not agree to hare
it taken up again until they shall have
made up their minds to stand by it and
presa it to a vote.
Mr. Thurman advised Mr. Davis to
withdraw his motion, as to press it
would plainly give rise to a long
and probably excited debate, which
would postpone the Amnesty bill.
Mr. U. said he knew it would give
rise to a debate, aud he was prepared
for the most exciting debate that could
arise t Laughter.) But be did not
wish to autagouize it against the Am
nesty bill, and therefore he would
withdraw it uow, but would soon
again bring it before the Senate.
. Tb Passive Policy in Wttehing
ton.
I Our special Washington despatches
. state that at the democratic coiigre*
sioual caucus last night there was an
expression favorable to the passive
policy "so far as national politics arc
• concerned." The dispatch adds ;j
"No movement looking to any coali
t tiou or conference for the next nation
ai convention was made."
The truth is, whatever expression
' was had, outside of a consideration of
. matters before congress, was merely
, accidental; and while wc are, of
course, gratified to know that the
' members of the detnocalic party in
• our natioual council* are favorable to
• the Missouri, or passive policy, yet we!
would be deceiving our readers not to
I tall them, at the same time, that the j
caucus was not called to act upon this (
question, and that the democratic con-;
gressiiten have uot assumed, as will be ,
I charged, dictate to the party ill ring I
the agency of a close caucus. Never
theltsa, their voice is entitled to lim
weight a- coming from men enjoyinj
good opportunities to scan the a hpli
political Hituation, and it |>csM-e>
great value n imiicating the seuli
uienta of promim nt individual* p< *
Musing influence in their rent ectiv
localities, it tr, "no far u national
politics are concerned," that the pas
sive policy chiefly applies. We hart
re|>eatdly explaine<l that it tignifiet
no abandonment by the democracy oj
advantages already possessed, or read
ily attainable, its meaning is con
cisely stated by the Chicago Times,
"it does not contemplate an abandon
ment of the democratic patty organi
zation, hut simply a withdrawal or
retirement of that organization where
ever, with relation to the republican
party organization, it represents the
popular minority. It would, then, be a
withdrawal of the national democratic
party organization, apd a corrrspopd
ing withdrawal of the state and local
organizations it) all the states, congres
sional districts and lesser constituen
cies where the democratic party in
cludes only a minority cfull the vo
ters composing tin constituency. In
all the states or lower constituencies,
where the democratic party constitute*
an undoubted majority of all the vo
ters, the Missouri policy would leave;

MISSOtR IMPOLITIC 8
Liberal Kepublicaa MumCoovuß
tion—Tbe Keaolutioa Adopted.
Jrffimn City, January 1 —The Lib
eral Republican Mtu Convention met In
tbe tlall of Representatives at ai>on. and
ii one of tbe largest ever assembled in the
Stale. It vat called to order by Colonel
Win. M. Or trenur, chairman of tba Lib
eral ltepubliras State CvmniUrr. Judge
Gebo It, of Grundy county, vu elected
lent|>o ary President, and Colonel Lewder,
Secretary. Judge Debolt made a brief
■peerh, in which be refered t the Work
before the Convention a* a grand and ao
ble ona, hoping a movement would be in
eugursted which would command tbesup
port of the majority of the American peo
ple in tbe interest of reform and true Re
publicanism. Various committee* were
tbep appointed for facilitating business,
and after a stirring speech by lion. C. P
Johnson, of St. Louis,tha Convention took
a recess till two o'clock,
The Convntion is not only large In
point of numbers but contains a majority
of the leaders of tbe liberal Republican
party of Missouri. Apparently It is com
posed of about tbe same man who figured
in the bolting Republican Contention that
nominated Brown for Uovenor. Home
prisa is noticeable at the charac'-* of tbe
American element in tb* Convention, it
being much greater than was expected,
while as lookers on, there several promi
nent ganllcmen from Stales—Senator Fow
ler, of Tennesson, Judge Oliver, of Ohio,
Mr. Scoviil, of New .'eriuy, and many
others— whe secoj to We measuring the ex
tent of the Lieut opposition ia tbe Repub
lican ranks bfra. Nearly every county in
the State it represented, and tba Conven
tion has been well worked up considering
that it it merely for consultation and tbe
comparison of views. A large number of
people have arrived by tbe midday trains,
and the hotels and public resorts seem
quite as well filled as the Slate bouse.
On reaseiubling this p. m. tbe Commit
tee on Resolutions reported through their
chairman, Col. Grosvonor. Tba reading
of tbe platform called forth repeated and
very rutbusiaatic applau-e and e general
storm of cheers followed the iut Tbe
resolutions, which WafO adopted without
any di-rept pre as follows:
Tim iOanluliwue
Ketohcd. That we. the Liberal Kepub
, I lean* of Missouri, faithful now ee we were
> in the dark days of civil war to ihr vital
piiiicipte* of true Republicanism, by no
act or word will endanger rightful seve
reigniy of the Union, emancipation, equali
ty of civil rights or enfranchisement; to
those established facts now embodied in
tbe Constitution we claim tb* [vyalty ol all
good citixens.
Resolved, Thus true end laeting peace
pan soiiis only from such profounu recon
ciliation as enfranchisement has wrought
in tbisKtale. nor can tho Government he
just or great in which tax-pavers bare no
actual part; we therefore ueioaud with
i qua I suffrage for all * <ji|gl amnesty for all,
that the intellect and experience of every
Met* may be welcomed to active ssrvice
for tueir count.uu welfare.
Resolved, That no form of taxation is
just or wi which puts needles* burdens
upon the |Mojile; we demand a genuine
reform of tariff so duties shall be removed
which, in addition to revenue yielded to
the treasury, involve an increase In the
price ol domestic products; and a conse
quent tax for tba benefit of a favored in
terest.
Resolved, That the shameless abuse of
| Government iwtronage for the control of
cPßvtnttons and elections, whether >ll the
interest of an individual, a faction or a par
ty with the consequent corruption and de
moralisation of political lile demands a
thorough and genuine reform of the public
service. Those wbo would supprces invee
ligation forget that they owe a higher du
ly to the country than to .ny party. W#
honor those Senators whose courageous
course has compelled a dierlosure of grave
misdeeds, and they deserve the thanks

•tv and integrity. It waa a rebuke to
toul I'laj, and efevaied lha aundard
j of i.ublic morale before lha world.
Thus Court haa time beeut recunati
! luted by en iutrraee uf ila irembera to
iitur, two of whom are freeh fruoi the
isar, where the paid rounael of great
failmad corporalioti* wboee intercela
were and art adverav to the former
deciaion. Ur the aid of iheae two at
torney* ujson the bench, tbe vote iu
the Court a* nw constituted atanda
five Us four for the reversal of the
. former decision.
"Thr decision of rourta,' aaid Lord
Chatbetu on b uteissnrbbib occaaton,
"ia ut law ,it ia only aa avidence of
tha law " in the preeent caae wa
must regard it a* pretty poor evidence
100. It ia simply testimony of lawyers,
who were committed to their judg
ment under the stimulus of so endeav
or le find an iulvrpreutien which
•huuld faVor the internals of power '
fui clients. Tbe decision is su attor
ney '§ opinion rather than a conclus
. ion of au impartial bench uf judges.
The argument, too, aa preeculvd by
Mr. Jutic Strong, is rather that of
no attorney than that of a judge.
What ahaii we *ay, fur example, to
throe word# lakcu from it f
"If now the derteiun uf the court
"ratablubce that these obligation#
!"cau be discharged only by gold

applied tu contracts made before the
paartg* of the act? Jt is almoet im

from iu original legitimate trace aud

And again, tbe following sentence
from the asms opinion ia abhorrent to
every eenlimtol of mercantile honor,
•ma we iruel it is ageiust all sound lew.
"The obligation ef a contract to
!"pay money ta to pay that which tbe
"lew *ball lecwgnise aa money when
"tha pgxment ia to be made."
We will alter just one word to this
xntence, and then it will (peak the
language of common seuae and true
moraUq: "The obligation of a con
-1 tract to pay money ts tu pey that
which the law recognised a* money
when the lOontiact waa uadr."
It anything else than this is law, it
ia very had law, and unwotthy any
