Gnat and the Inaucuml At thfi crowning of Ulysses the Ist, on th 4th of A/arch, last, at Washing ton, w find in hia addreaa to hia sub jects something very much like hia Grecian namesake who, according to Homer, "yoked a horse and bull to* gather, and plowed the eeaabore, where be sowed salt instead of barley," to blindfold bis aubjecta, as to hia teal design. We have not time to review the "cunningly devised fable," and weak attempt to imitate Queen Victo ria in her addrem to the House of Lords and Commons, and will only refer to this presidential conundrum rehearsed before the'radical convoca tion, on the memorable idea of -Varch, new style- He commences his address in true Cromwell style by saying that "he was called a second time to act" or role the nation and that he will rule it "in the same direction in the fu ture." Hue is the pledge. Look out, our right to rote and the ballot box is to be under the control of his Janisariss and the bayonet; and "in the same direction" as the elections were held In Philadelphia, New York, New Orleans, South Carolina, dx., under his decree. Hbw thank ful we should be to this radical sover eign, for the privilege of voting under his mandate ; and so well pleased with his acts during the last fbur years, he declares his "best efforts will be given in the same direction in the future." Nepetism and gift-tak ing are always to be in order under his reign. Here is a paragraph in the message that requires a Daniel to interpret, vis: The theory of government changes with the general progress. Now that the telegraph is made available for communicating thought, together with rapid travel by steam, all parts of a continent are made contiguous for all purposes of government, and commu nication between the extreme limits of the country made easier than it was throughout the old thirteen States at the beginning of oar national exist ence. "The theory of government chang es with the general progress," so says Ulysses. Is the theory and principles proclaimed by the "old thirteen states" in the declaration of independence to be changed—is the Union of the states to be consolidated, and an elec tive monarchy to be established, guarded by a standing army ? Bead the whole paragraph and tell us what it means He next weeps over the negro Baex and the 8t Domingo job —the bargain was spoiled—he tells as the annexation "was rejected constitu tionally" and therefore he submitted. How condescending in our Ulysses I He next refers to "the effects of the late cruel war have been to free the slave and make him a citizen"—be is cot possessed of all his rights, but what is lacking be does not point out but he does Jell where the Negro sta tus is to be in social life, by saying, "that social equality, is not a subject to be legislated Qpon nor shall I ask any thing to be done to advance the social states of the colored man, ex cept give him a fair chance to devel ops what there is of good in him." litis is the most sensible sentence in the whole message, and easily under stood, to keep de colored gem man till be has civil rights; if he votes the radical ticket, be can enlist in the army to fight against white men, and play scullion to the officers, but neither as cadets or midshipmen, are they to look fcr social equality ; that has been tried, they have had "a fair chance to develops what is good in them," and it can not be seen, and "social equality is not a subject to be legislated upon, nor shall I ask any thing to be dooe to advance the social status of the colored man." This is plain talk for theDonglases the Days, the Elliots, Ac., —there is your status, i and legislation to force social equality 1 can not help yon, so long as rant is ' President, and to this complexion has , the colored gem man at last come un- < der their President, who can bnild up and tear down at pleasure. Again, will the high tariffites let us ] know the meaning of the sentence in ' the President's meenge, vis, "to the 1 establishment of our commerce and a ( share in the carrying trade upon the i ocean—to the encouragement of such 1 manufacturing industries as can be 1 economically puraned in this country to the end that the exports of bom< products and industries may pay Jot our imports ; the only sure method oi returning to permanently maintain ing a specie basis." Is this a tariff for revenue with incidental protection or what is the plan or tariff that is to make our exports pay for our import* and secure a specie basis—do tell, en lighten us, gentlemen, as to what the President means in this great Penn sylvania question. Drawing to the conclusion of his message he casts his eye to the time "when I shall be relieved from respon sibilities that at times are almost ov erwhelming, and from which I have scarcely had respite since the event of the firing upon Fort Sumpter, in April 1861, to the present day." Did the President sleep with Colfax on the night of the 3rd, that he was so bold in assertion—regardless of Jhcta? what does be call respite? was •pending bis summers at the Presi dent's cottage on the seashore "over whelming responsibilities?" lie could not find time to leave Tom -Mur phy's gift cottage for u dnv during the season of many months, in disre gard of his official duties at Washing ton, for the vain purpose of display ing his fast horses, fine livery, rooeiv the smiles aud plaudits of speculators, custom-house embettler* and their ac companying gifts, which he calls "ov erwhelming* responsibilities," while he has promised "to act in the same di rection in the future." Therefore nepotism aud gift-takiug are to bo the order of his administion with the same effect as heretofore. The record of death* by the receut •uow storm in Minnesota, it n fearful one. The governor of the slate haa aent a message to the legislature, giv ing an account of the money speut by him to the suffering as authorised by an act appropriating $5,000, from which we copy the following tearful statistic* : Frosen to death and bodlst found - At Misting and supposed to be tresen to death " Died within a short period of amputa tion.

How to do It * It has got to be a notorious fact, that no Senator, congressman, legisla tor, or other corrupt government offi cial, can be brought to punishment for bis sins, because whitewashing has come to be the order of the day, and the thieves and plunderers of the peo ple go unpunished for their crimes. The country is becoming disgraced by such a history as was made at Wash ington the present winter, and if those in power, who have the authority to bring evil doers to accouut, will not do their duty in the premises, we think that the people might set an example by taking the whitewashes and white washed into their own care, and ad ministering justice according to their judgment of the deserts of public rogues. If, occasionally, a recreant legislator or notorious public defaul ter who has dodged the law, or who may have received a congressional whitewashing, were treatedjto a coat of tar or made to experience the pleas ures of a short ride ou a rail, we think it would have a wholesome effect upon these recreant and unpunished ser vants of the peaple. Up in Winnipeg, in Canada, we see, the speaker of the house was dressed in a coat of tor, a few nights ago, for ruling in the speaker s chair which the people thought was unwarranted and which went against their interests and which was to relieve the Hudson Bay Comp. of one-third of their usual tax ation. This thing of playing into the bands of corporations all the time, by oar law-makers, should be stopped ; but all experience proves that there is no hope for a reform by applying to oar legislative halls, where the evil is done. What then are the people to do? Will it not become a question whether they themselves must not deal out punishment directly to their immedi ate representatives when they prove notoriously recreant to their oaths? This might be revolution, but where there is persistent wrong, revolutions often prove the only remedy. Bontwell Elected Senator from Massachusetts. BOSTON, March 12.—1n joint ballot of the two houses of the legislature this morning, Hon. George 8. Boutwell was elected United Stales senator. The vote stood: BoutwelJ 155 Dawes 115 Boutwell's majority 30 Guard the Sinking Fund. The Pottsville Daily Transcript, of Bth inst., in speaking of the Sinking Fund, pays a merited tribute to our member, Mr. Orvis: The proverbial recklessness of State leg illation is well known, and thui far all at tempts at reform hare been futile. When ever a particular axe is to be ground, in the interest o£a corporation or monopoly, or any scheme is devised by which a large sum of money is to be taken from the treasury, the legislation necessary to ac complish the end desired is rushed through regardless of whether there is in the State coffers sufficient funds to meet the demand without trenching upon the sinking fund, which notwithstanding a constitutional in hibition, is continually being tampered with. A case in point came up in the House ef Representatives on Thursday last while tbat body had under consideration the Centennial Appropriation bill. Mr. Orvis, the member from Centre, and one of the clearest headed and ablest men in the House, offered an amendment or pro viso to the first section of the hill, as fol lows : Provided, That no portion of the reve nues of the Commonwealth assigned to thesmkiag fucd under the Constitution A tb *P£ e done unless a majority of this House declare that it shall be done, in violation of the Constitution. Ou the question, Will the House agree to the amendment of Mr. Orvis it was carried by 51 yeas to 42 nays. Let Us AH Start Fair. In a recti)t debate iu the Constitu tional Convenliou, upon enlarging the Senatorial representation of Philadel phia, we find the following: Judge Black, of York, was iu favor of doing away with the Senatorial lim it for large cities, and urged that the other counties of the State should now do unto Philadelphia as they would have her do unto any one of them if the case was reversed After alluding to the injustice aud invidious charac ter of this distinction as to Philadel phia, he proceeded to answer the ar gument of Judge Woodward ou the previous day iu favor of continuing the limitation as to the number ofSen ators. That geutleman, as a reason against any increase of our represen tation, had complained that there were wicked men living in Philadelphia, and had complimented the tillers of the soil by telling them that they were much better and more righteous than those who inhabit the city. He (Black; being included in the former class, was willing to own the soft im peachmeut. [Laughter.] Still, he thought it partook of the spirit of the Pharisee for a gentleman from the country to say to the inhabitants of the city, "stand aside ; I am holier than 1 thou." He thought the wickeduesa j complained of should be punished not by injection into the Constitution a sort of "bill of pains and penalties," but by dealing with each individual offender. His friend (Mr. Woodward) with all his denunciation of everything that was not good, as was perfectly natural with him and very proper, ought to be willing to consider the un convicted as standing upon a level with himself, and that was perhaps as high a level as any man could reach. [JLaughter.] Another charge against Philadelphia was that the people were a set of ialers and did not work, in oth er words, that they were not engaged in productive industry. In answer to this the speaker stated as the result of his observation, tbat the community of Philadelphia was one of the most in dustrioos he had ever known, and tbat some one had evidently taken ad vantage of the youth and inexperience of the geutleman (Mr. Woodward) to impose upon bis credulity. [Laugh ter.] Mr. Woodward here interrupted to say that Judge Black was clearly drawing upon his imagination for the facts, EDd that in attributing to him (Woodward) the allegation that the people of Philadelphia did not work, his imagination had got the better of his judgment. The speaker added tbat he had made no such assertion, but that what he had asserted was that the grand original source of wealth was in the agricultural sections, and that Philadelphia could not produce of that which was requisite for the purpose enough to make a loaf of bread. Mr. Black's ten minutes here expir ing, his time we* extended five min utes, when he added that he had noth ing further to say since his friend bad taken back what he had said. Instead of being imposed upon by any body who took advantage of him, the gen tleman had been the victim of his own imagination, as he himself called it, in supposing that a people who work ed at one business, supposing it to be honest and lawful, were less entitled to protection than any other, so that the error of the gentlemen after his explanation, was just as bad as it had been before it. After replying to the alleged assumption of Mr. Woodward that there seemed to be some kind of conflict between the industrial inter ests of the city and State, and urging that if this was correct, there was a greater reason for placing each upon an equality in representation that there might be a fair fight in an open field, Mr. Black made the following digression in illustration of this por tion of his remarks: Iu a certain lo cality upon the Jersey coast, the peo ple were in the habit of plundering the many wrecks cast ashore from time to time. A clergyman of the place bad repeatedly attempted to dis suade them from the practice, and on one occasion, tvhile preaching to them upon the enormity of the sin, from the text, "Thou shalt not steal," and when in the most eloquent part of his sermon, some one cried out —"There's • wreck on 4 the court 1" Every indi vidual in (ho congregation rose up ami rushed toward* (n iloor. The ciergy •' ninn lagged lliein to *(op only for n moment, while ho would say but four word*. Ho succeeded iu, regaining their attention, and in tho meantime ho wi getting pretty near tho door, i and had his coat buttoned up, and when they had waited in exportation of hearing "tho four worda," these were tho worda he uttered—"Let's all etart fair." [Long contiuued Laugh-' tor.J Tho s|>enker thought thai tnia would not be a liad rule to apply iu regulating representation. If tnia was to be a rare for our privilegea, our righla and our other advantagoa, he would aay "leta all atart fair," and al low every city aud county to have that amount of repreaentatiou in the latgia lature which might bo dut to the pop ulation iu each caj|e. UtHlurUou of Taxation A step lias been taken at last aay* the /Wt'of, in the legislature for a re peal of some of the taxes that bear ex ceedingly hard upon enterprise and industry in this state, Seuator Wal lace's bill proposing a repeal of the taxes on horses aud cattle will remove a burden that is severely felt. The report of the Auditor General shows that the revenues from taxes on per sonal property amounted last year to upwards of a half million of dollars, a large portion ofwhich we re derived from horses and cattle. Senator Strang's amendment contemplates a more sweeping reductiou of revenues, by re pealing the taxes on the net earnings of ooiporations liable to tax on capital slock, and on the gross re ceipts of railroad, canal, and transpor tation companies. Tbe tax on cor poration stocks amounted last year to 91,308,025.25, and the tax on the net earnings of corporations produced at the same time 9348,048.8u. The tax on gross receipts for 1872 amounted to 9457.631.18. This tax was imposed in 1866 to meet the war loan, and took the place of the tax on real estate, which was repealed by the same get. Both these taxes it is now proposed to repeal. It was said with justice on the floor of the senate on 12 inst., that the neces sity for the tax had ceased as the war debt, which it was designed to meet, has been liquidated. This proposed repeal of taxes would reduce the revenues of the state treas ury to the extent of a million a year. The bill was originally a vehicle for removing a burden that is severely felt by the agricultural interests, aud by these amendments it may be made to encourage manufacturing and mi ning euterprise|which is repreased by the weight of an ingenious scheme of] double and tripple taxation laid on stocks, on net earnings, and |on gross receipts. In many instances capital and enterprise have been scared from the state by the display of the schedule of the auditor general's office, and have found in New Jersey and Dela ware the protection of more benign laws and sounder policy. Excitement in Winnipeg Tarring tke Speaker of the House. Fort Garry, Manitoba, March 10. —lmmense excitement prevails in Winnipeg owning to the fact that it wassougnt to pass a bill through the Legislature which would have let the Hudson Bay Company and other landed proprietors off with the pay ment of one third the usual taxation on their lands. An indignation meet ing was held and a)committee appoint ed to plead at the bar of the House, whither they were followed bv 400 people. The bill was ultimately thrown out on a technicality. On account of the ruling of the Speaker be waa de coyed from hie house at midnight and administered a coat of tar. The Government has offered SI,OOO re ward for the conviction of the perpe trators. Fearing further breeches of the peace a military guard has been placed over the Parliament House. | Illinois and Ohio Censure their Con- great tnen Columbus, Ohio, March 14.—1n the sen ate to-day, after a long discutaioc. the house joint resolution censuring the Ohio member* of congress who voted for tbe re troactive salary bill was adopted after amendment including in the censure mem bers who Toted against the bill but took tbe extra pay. Following is the resolution passed by the House of Representatives of Illinois by a vote of 106 yeas to 4 nays : Rtsvtred, By the house of representa tives, the senate concurring herein, that without regard to politics or party ties, wo do most emphatically place our seal of con demnation on our representatives in Con gress from this state who by their own vote increased their own pay to $7,600 per an num, and a bonus of $6,000 for service al* ready rendered. A MARYLAND MURDER. A School Girl Shot bv her Lover. i Salisbury, Md., March B.—On Friday i afternoon George Hall, age 18, shot dead Amelia Hpockley, age 14, whileon her way home from school in company with other children. Hall was courting Amelia, and had written her a letter which she had 1 failed to answer, saying she had not 1 had time. It is reported that ho had lain j in wait the' previous day, but Amelia be ing accompanied by ber brother, the deed 1 was deferred. Both belong to respectable families living noar Salisbury. The mur derer is still at large, but an active pursuit J is being kept up. The Murderer Commits Suicide. Crlsfiold, Md., March B.—A freight trair bound south, to-night, ran over and killed a man, supposed to be the murderer of th< girl Amelia Spockley, who was shot yee lorday near Salisbury. The train was go> ing at tho rate of 20 milos an hour. Th man ran out and threw himself on th< track. The Funeral and the Inquest. Salisbury, Md., March 9.—The ftineral of Miss Sbockley, the victim of the murdei of Friday last, took place this mornier. About 1,000 people attended. The coro ner's jury rendered a verdict of death at the hand of George W. Hall. The evi dence shows that the deceased left schedl accompanied by feur small children. About 100 yards frsm the school, Hall met her, and after some conversation about a letter, he asked one of the children if Miss Hhockley's brother Elijah, age 16, was at school. Receiving a negative reply he turned to Miss Shockley and said he was going to shoot her. She replied "Pshaw, George Hal), you can't frighten me." Hall then directed a little girl standing be side Miss Shockley to get out of the way and deliberately raised his gun and fired. The load took effect just under the shoul der-blade and entered the heart, when the girl exclaimed, "Oh, Lord 1" and fell. Isaac 8. Adams, the schoolmaster, on be ing informed of the murdor hastened to the scexe, and found t£>o girl lying in the read, in the agony of death, and she died in a few moments.

Of those masculine puppiee, who, ig noring the fundamental attributes ef their sex—physical strength and manliness ef character, and borrowing from the sillieet of women their sillmst end moet reprehen sible practices, smear themselves with paint and enamel, end imprison them selves in corsets, we bnve nothing to say : we leave ibem to the well merited contempt they invariably gain from all wjio are In any way their superiors; these, we are happy to say, being vastly in tbe majori ty Gentlemen in general can, we believe, be acquitted of most all the fashionable lollies, with the cxceplien of hair dye and tight boots.

Loral Option—Penalties—Drug gists. The opinion has baen advanced that should the people vote agaiast the grant ing of license, that all could soil without a 5 license. This view U not founded in ltw _ and would subject the offender to nil the penalties that any one selling without ; license is now liable to. The only part of } tho law in any way affected is that author ising the courts to grant licenses. The penalties for the unlicensed sale of liquor are fixed by the act of March 22nd, 1867, I section 4, vis: "If| any . person, after the passage of this act, shall tell spirituous or vinous ■ liquors, domestic wines, malt or brewed . liquors, without having obtained a license authorising him so to do, such person shall on conviction, in the court of quar tor sessions, be fined, far the first offense, in any sum not less thaa fifty or more than two hundred dollars, and far the second or any subsequent offense such shall be fined not less than one hundred dollars, and in the discretion of said court be imprisoned in the county jail sot lest thaa thirty nor moro than days: Provided, That nothing in this act shall be construed to re* peal the provisions of the act of Assembly passed March 81, 1866, relative to talet by druggists or a pot/neon**." Mow should the people vote against li cense, the only persons who could legally sell liquor would b a druggists or apotA tea riot. Let us see what tho law is on that question. The law of March 81, 1866, above referred to says : Sac. 6. That the provision of this act, shall not eitend to druggists and apothe caries who shall sell unmixed aleohol or I compound, or >ell any admixture of I wine, alcohol, spirituous, or brewed liquors 1 in the preparation of medicines, or upon prescription of a regular practicing phy- I tieianProvided, That no druggist, or j 1 apothecary, shall tell or keep for tale, un* I dr ay iwtw itmiChlßipftfr < lion or admixture a* aforcaaid, that may bo used a* a beveiaga, and any violation infthli aeetlon shall bo puaiahod in the manner proacribod twonty-olghth •action of this art Pamphlet Lawi of I MM, page AX).

This will be the last chance of any thirs ty individual to procura the coveted "spirit<," should no license win the day And on that there is only one solitary chance. The druggist cannot 'sell spiritu ous, vinaus, malt or brewed liquor, mixed •r pure, to be used a beverage, without subjecting himself to prosecution. But ac cording to the foregeing 6th sectien, the druggist can sell unmixed alcohol, spiritu uu or brewed liquors in the preparation of medicines, er upon the written proscrip tion of a regular practicing physician This will be the last hope. A "regular practicing physician" can arm the patient with a written prescription" for medicinel to cure any pain a dinner of "sour-k rout! and pork" may have occasioned. The "family" physician may find his practice: greatly enlarged, and the druggist his sales of "stimulants" very much increased. Weak stomachs may need a little "aid" to digest a nulritreus dinaer of roast beef and poUtoas, which nothing hut the family physician and the druggist can give.—LSH caiter Examiner. • ♦ • —— EUTHANASIA v Hume of the leading English journals are gravely discussiag the merits ef a doctrine . avowed by a limited class of philosopher* in Great Britain thai suicide i sometime* a duty, in such cases, for instance, as when a person is suffering under n painful and < incurable diicasc. A Mr. Lionel A, Tol leiuacbe appears to be the leading advo cate of the principle that a man has a right to die when he chooses, and Mr. Tolle- P uiacbe has found an earnest disciple ia Proleasor Francis W. Newman, who is writing letters to the press enthusiestically supporting the theory that man are justi fied ia substituting an easy death, accom plished by their own means, for lingering torments and final extinction frogi natural causes. Professor Newman insists that this idea is somewhat widely spreed among cultivated persons, but-suppressed in con sequence of the odium ettaching to the j profession of such opinions. But the Ruthenasianisu, as they are called, are not satisfied with limiting the j advantages of Eutfaanasia, or easy death, to those who choose to avail themselves of I the discoveries ef science for prematurely * ending their own sufferings in this vale of tears. Thry alto imitu>t thst under cer tain condition* it would be an excellent thing to giv o their neighbor* the benefit of a painless exit from a world which they ' cannot enjoy and which ha* no particular u*e for them Prof. Newman specially : object* to the prejudice in favor of natur , al death* which *o olten result* in causing •eriou* injury to the health of young peo ple through their ince**ant watching at a ick bed merely in order, a* he *ayr, "that an old person may miserably linger a few month* longer " This view of the subject is not original, however. Some of the j Polynesian tribe* of savage* have been in ■ the habit of killing off their old and useless j relation* from time immemorial, although they w ate not sufficiently advanced in civ lixation to adopt to pretty a name a* Eu thanasia for the practice, and having n* scientific knowledge at their disposal to af ford them painless method* of shortening j life, they were not particular a* to the j meant employed to affoct their object so ! long as they were effectual. But the Poly nesians practised their method* of getting ! rid of old persons from selfish economical I motives, for they not only killed but etc their superannuated relations, while the ! British Eutbeneisanist* profess to be gov erned in their opinions only by the loftiest considerations of humanity. It is evident that if the unrestricted rigbt of e man toabruptily terminate his own ex istence or that of e neighbor whose lunger sojourn on earth he might deem undesira ble should be generally admitted, the practice of Euthanasia would be liable to ! abuse in the bands of person* deflcieal in | moral principle.
