During the ten months, ending 81 Oct. 1872, our imports exceeded our exports to foreign countries $128,278,- 787- We exported specie aud bullion to the amount of $81,731,957, and our imports of the same were only $lB,- 000,000. These are rather alarming facts, and we would ask, how long can the country stand this? Such operations as these cannot work well for the financial condition of the country, and if it continues thus, the country will soon be hopelessly drain ed. This picture does uot argue well for the effect radical rule has upon the commercial prosperity of the country. Under its rule we see the gold aud silver of the country driven to foreign lands at the rate of 681 miUlion in ten months over -that is imported of the same precious metals in the same time. At this rate, the jingle of specie will never again sound in the ears 'of the hardfisied farmer and mechanic of this country as cur rency, and rag money will continue to keep its place. Fer twelve years the administration has been under com plete control of the radical party, with full power to shape the legisla tion of the country for its commer cial prosperity, yet in ten months the country finds itself in debt 128 mil lion dollars to foreigners on imports. Nov this does not look like establish ing a boasted American policy of protection to home industry; such things were not promised by the high tariffites, who continually cried down the democracy, when that party was in power, because it was uot sound upon the tariff, and because its policy in that respect was "ruinous to the trade and commerce of the country." How does the picture look aow, after a fair trial of radical rule, and under their boasted tariff? Why the coun try is drained annually of about 65 millions of gold and.silver, and our iro portsof merchandise exceed ourexports nearly $218,000,000! When a man buys more than he sells, and keeps paying out cash largely in excess of what he takes in in cash, why bank ruptcy must follow, that is clear, and its effect cannot be different upon the country. If this goes on thus, the country will be prostrated,—it is im possible for it to hold out when the trade runs against us to such an enor mous extent The specie that goes out, foreigners hord ; it never returns ; and we keep the miserable rags. Were we not promised something better un der radical rule ? Were the democra cy in power now, and the account stood half as bad as it now does, what a hoe and cry would be raised by the radical press and orators, about the ruinous policy of the. demo cratic party, and well might they. But this is now going on under radi cal rule, and no alarm is felt. The World thinks that the Demo cratic party must survive and win on ly under its time-honored name and flag. That its triumphs must be by recruits rather than alliance : This strength of purpose which is characteristic of the Democratic party would, perhaps, have been productive of immediate political results if the party bad been smaller. Throughout these long years of adverse fortune we have always been formidable enough to put our enemies in fear and keep them united ; whereas, if we bad been bat a resolute handfull instead of an inflexible host, the Republicans would long ago have split, and we, holding the balance, conld have extorted con cessions from one side as the price of making it victorious over the other. But the Democratic partv is too large, and made ot too unyielding stuff, to conquer in this way. At the very time its enemies were talking about its funeral, they stood in such mortal fear that they made voters of all the ne groes to protect themselves against the re-ascendancy of the Democratic par ty. We shall overcome even tbet ob stacle. But our path to victory will never lie in any other direction than a straight Democratic course, leaving honest Republicans to join us wben they can no longer stand their own party. We shall never sink into a mere balance of power party. Our success will come everywhere, as it has come in Connecticut, by recruits, not by an alliance. The Christian church might as well make an alliance with one sect of the Mahometans, in stead of baptizing them as converts. A oew movement in behalf of lew and the people's rights is io progress in Louisiana, and the Kellogg usur pation of the Governorship of that Stole is to be met a sharp and decisive method of retaliation. The tax-pay ers throughout the State, by which is ment those of the people who did not vote for Kellogg for Governor, are or ganising in the parishes for the pur pose of resisting the payment of the taxes which the Kellogg tax collect ors are about to call for illegally and unjustlp. Congress, it is hoped, will put an end to the Kellogg regime when it meets next December: but in the meantime the minions of radical ism will be refused the funds without which their administration of affairs will be to them an empty show indeed. There is howling at hand in our Rome down in Louisiana. The democrats last week carried Cleaveland, Columbus, Dayton, and Dubuque. The democracy evidently are not yet dead. Connecticut shows a great deal of life. The Democrats last week also car ried Keokuk, Cincinnati, and Toledo. Conscription has been adopted in Japan 4>y which all subjects whan twenty years -eld are required to serve in the army or navy. ■"* • * Subscribe tot the Extorter. The Next Senator. As utuhr the new apportionment we have changed from a double to a •ingle senatorial district, we will have , but state senator to elect next fall. Who shall he he, is an important ques tion, foi the democracy of this die trict and even for the state. This dis trict is democratic, hut is what may be called a close one—composed of the counties of Centre, Huntingdon, MitHiii and Juniata. At the late governor's election the vote in the-c counties stood as follows : Centre - ..1712 22W Huntingdon ...3WO d24V) Mitttm. ITUo 7s> •Iu mats 14tt ISS Total ism w Showings democratic majority of only 227. Now this is a small major ity, but sufficient for every purpo-e if the democracy make a wise and ju- ! dicious nomination —one which will have the confidence of the party and which will command the united demo-' cratic vote. lu other words, with such a smalt margin to go on, tlx democracy must put in nomination one of its strongest, best and most populai men, otherwise the district will be en dangered. The day has pretty wreli. gone by when all men of a party will longer cling to a nomination for were party's sake—this is the sentiment of thousands, and the set-up tools of wire pullers an J political gamblers do not go through so readily auytuore on the cry of party, as in former days. The people, the common classes, the plun dered tax payers are getting to under stand that a man's character needs looking into as well as his politics be fore they a til vote for nominees set up by tricksters ami prostitutes in politics. Thomas Jefferson's test, "Is be houest, is he capable," is more and more becoming the motto of the voter, and the mete fact that a candidate is a Democrat or a Radical, is loosing | its importance with hundredsand thou sands. This is right and proper in ! these days of Credit Mobilierism, state | agency swindlers, addition, division, land silenoe recommendations, thiever ' ies, forgeries and every conceivable species of political roguriy with which the dear people are cursed by men who resort to any thing low- and mean to get into office. The cry is for gqod men, and he who will kuowingly vote for any oth er, violates his duties as a citixen and does not deserve the sacred privilege of the ballot. What we must have in this district next fall, is a nominee for seuator, who is honest, capable, aud proof against rings and roosters at Harris burg. If we can't have such an one. it were better for the good name of the democratic party that we suffer defeat. !We prefer seeiDg the radical party disgraced by a bad radical, than to have the good name of our time-hon ored party sullied by a corrupt demo crat. It would be batter to have a good and honest republican to repre sent this district thau a corrupt demo crat who would affiliate with rings and roosters and thereby only injure our party. Thus reason honest men of ail pariies to-day. Then let us have a good, honest, ca i pable democrat placed in nomination for state senator next fall; with j such au one we can carry the district; ; with any thing else the result will be doubtful. We refer to this important matter timely. We trust democrats will act wisely in this matter. We have good material, and we also have some that is bad. Tricksters will at tempt to obtain tb^nomination by their accustomed schemes of fraud and bribery. A defeat at the polls is the only way to head off these scoundrels. We shall consider it our duty as a journalist to warn democrats against tricksters who may seek to obtain a nomination for senator. Honest men must combine and put an end to political scoundrels. Let democrats ponder over this mat ter. Let us resolve to have a good and strong nominee ; we do not care about supporting any other. We want a nominee of whom we need uot feel ashamed, and one who, when elect ed, will be true to the interests of the tax-payers and especially the working classes. For such a nominee we would battle with a will. During the day a queer bit of gossip was set afloat to the effect that certain members of the American syndicate hnd been lock ing up currency and sending money to Philadelphia. Tbe object of this Is to make money stringeat and depress gold and governments. By this means they have been enabled to purcba* bonds be low,' par in gold, and then, by their ar rangement with the treasury department, to turn them in at par, thus realizing hand some profits on large transactions. This probably accounts for the curious feauture* of the bond market The above gossip, which came from New York the other day, shows how the money scares are gotten up, and which so often disturb trade. This kind of infamous gambling is done with the connivance of government agents, and the well known "black Friday" transactions, in which Mrs. Grant figured, and cleared 825,000, about two years ago, was a plot of this kind to create a gigantic panic, by which scores of large business houses were bankrupted.. And with this de testable business government agents are connected, even up to Grant's family. At what period of promised economy did we have more salary stealing than now, under radical domination ? Grant has his salary doubled ; the radi cal congress increased its salary to 110,000 per member for the term ; Hartranft's salary was doubled, the first thing the late radical legislature did when k met. Now we ask any honest republican whether this thing is not in violation of the pledges of that party. Are republican taxpay ers pleated to have the salary steal go on in this manner, in addition to the other endless stealings by government agents ? Is that what you voted for ? if so, why did you not have the man liness to say so? If our radical friends in Centre county do not ap- j prove ofthowj hold stealing*, then why longer vi< with tltd radical party ?; It i filt-liiitlV.>m radical pocket*and is taking the *wcat ol the radical vo ter a* well a* of the democratic tax payer. Now the democracy arc really Tor economy and refoi m, il republicans are ciucere in their prolWsions, why not abandon the gang that ia plunder ing the treaaury and making the labor ! ing clashes sweat for it h'gislulitr HOUM- - -- .4pril . Agreeably to special order, the house resumed the further considera tion of the bill to elect the stale treas urti —providing that a treasurer shall, lie elected on the second Tuesday in October next, and annually thereafter and that his term of office shall com mence on the tiisl day of May follow ing, and that the present incumbent shall continue in office until May 1, 1874. being the commencement of the term of the tirst treasurer to lm elected, next October. Mr. Orvis usadc a lengthy speech,, showing by iiguica coined from the governor' message, auditor general's reports, and the stall int-uts of the commissioners of the nuking fuud, that under the pro-cut state treasurer, during the last six years, there have been a uumber of discrepancies, irregu larities, defalcations and disregatd of laws. Mr Klliott said it was not an easy matter to answer, without preparation, j such a speech as the one telivered by; the gentleman from Centre [Mr. Or-j vis], which that gentleman had care-; fully prepared and made up largely froiii campaign argumeuts referred to., lie entered upon a discussion of the subject, however, and answered some | ol the points presented by Mr. 0., aud defended the administration aud par ty against the charges of corruption and misapplication of the public fuuds He remarked that if the gentleman from Centre knew of any defalcation or violation of law on the part of the treasurer or other officers it was his duty to offer a resolution calling for a committee to investigate such af fairs, and ol such committee he would have been made the chair man. Mr. Orvu allcdged that he did of fer a resolution of the kind on auolh cr subject, but the committee was so constituted by the speaker as to de feat anv real investigation. J/r. Latta said he introduced a bill as early as January Inst providing lor the election of a state treasurer, but it was kept in committee for a long while, and fiually came out with a negative recommendation, aud he was satisfied that the majority party then determined that no such biil should be passed during the sessiou, aud that thus the will of the people was intend ed to be violated, and the constitution disregarded. Mr. Mitchell replied to Mr. Latta, answeriug the charge of indisposition on the part of the republican party to provide for the election of a treasurer. He contended that there was no dere liction of duty on the part of ths legis lature if such au act is passed at auy lime duriug the present sessiou. He pointed out some alledged errors iu the figures presented by the gentle man from Centre. Mr. Orvis denied that the figures referred to are mete rehash of the state campaigu matter, and made some further remarks in regard to the treasurer's accounts. He referred to a resolution offered by Mr. Brock way calling for certain information from the state treasurer and auditor geuer al, which was adopted, but it was re ferred to the committee on ways and means. Mr. Brockway corrected the gentle man from Centre [Mr. Orvis] by in forming him that the resolution refer red to was unanimously adopted, but information was never furnished. Mr. Orvis stated his experience as chairman of an investigating commit tee in regard to a bill (relating to Delaware avenue), which committee could not oe induced to meet for busi ness, because each member invariably seemed to have some other special ap- f ointment at the time proposed by. imself for such meeting. He was therefore decidedly of the impression that he could not reasonably hope for practical results had he moved for an investigation of state treasury affairs as suggested by the gentleman from Philadelphia, [d/r. Elliott.] Mr. Brock way entered into a brief description of the pending bill, and re ferred to an amendment which he in tended to offer, so as to fix December 1, 1873, as the commencement of the term of the treasurer, instead of May 1,1873. The first section of the bill was agreed to, when Mr. R rock way ofTered the amendment above referred to. Mr. Elliott hoped it would not be ' adopted, as the surveyor and auditor generals enter upon their office on the first of May, and the two offices should continue to run together. Not agreed to—yeas 32, nays 61. The several succeeding sections were read and agreed to and the bill passed veas 67, nays 26. Mr. Lntta, when his name was call ed, said he voted aye because he be lieved it his duty, under the constitu-! tion, to do 60, although this bill was not in the shape to command his ap proval. TtlK MILITIA SUPPLEMENT. Mr. Ballantine, from the committee of conference on a supplement to the; act of March 4, 1864, entitled an act for the organization of the militia of the Commonwealth, reported that the senate had receded from its amend ments to said bill, and the report was, adopted. WILLI A MS PORT.

Stephens' re i cent appearance at a public reception t in Atlanta ; Alexander 11. Stephen emerged 1 from the Kimball house, wrapped up ' in three overcoats and a horse blank et. The bundle with a white head sticking out put in a carriage right end up, and propped in position by two crutches. The bundle then ' said it was all right, and away the carriage rolled to the capitol. The bundle was then taken out, uurolled, till Stephens was found. Leaning on two stout men, with two more car rying each a crutch, the procession en tered the house of representatives. ; The building was packed'as I never saw it before. Ladies, politicians, members of the legislature, citixens, negroes and children had all turned out. When Stevens appeared there went up a shout. It was long and loud, aud was followed by another louder and longer. Then when that died out another started and rau its course. Mr. Stephens bowed ac knowledgements as well as he could, considering that the two stout men made sort of a moving straight jacket. When he arose in the speaker's stand, the bright light falling upon his pale, (hin face and white head, there wes more cheering and applause. It waa plain that Stephens had the hearts of tho people. He Spoke in an erect po sition, supported hy a crutch under Iris left arm. His voice is clear and shrill, and not a word was lost in any part of the hall, unless the sound was drowned hy applause. I waa in an extreme corner uf the hall, wedged in among a mass of humanity, and 1 know that each word came with mar vellous distinctness, although bis voice did not seem to be unduly ele vated. And this weak aud wasted skeleton of a man spoke thus for more than two hours.

Hayes, delivered the second of his course of lectures descriptive of his researches and adventures in search of the open polar ten before a large audience in Association Hall last[ night. The gla ciers and icebergs of Greenland were viv idly described. All the interior of Green land, the lectuier said, it one vast field of ice, which gradually and imperceptibly moves downward to the sea the centre moving somewhat more rapidly than the ■ides, end by the fractures thus created giving to the ice those fantastie shape* which from time immemorial have been at ence the marvel and admiration of explor ers. When the glacier reaches the sea it passes on as before over the inclired plain beneath tho surface, until so much of it is immersed that it it no longer able te resist the buoyancy of the water, and breaking from tke glacier, with a roar that can be heard for miles, the icebeig risee to the surface, and floats away sometime* as far as the coast of Newfoundland, while the glacier continues its ceaseless movement downward to form new icebergs from age to age. The masses oi ice thus detached of course very in six* hut in all of them there 1* seven times a* much ice under water a* appears above the surface. From the deck of his vessel Dr. Hayes once counted as many as COO, seme as large as the hall in which he stood, ethers as largo as Trinity Church, still others twtlve times the sixe ef New York. One In especial arose 817 feet above the surface, ami he computed lis weight to have been not less than twen ty, seven billions of ton*. THK uinvtoiir si x. With regard to lbs midnight sua, Dr. Ilsyos related an incident wlilali, had he not actually witnessed It himself, might l-ttasibly have been received with incrsd ullty by his audience. As ba travelled northward the days gradually lengthened until darkness ceased altogether, and the 1 sun was never out of sight. Thepasaengar* on board the ship were much incommoded, and were obliged to create artificial dark ness by drawiug curtains all aiound them when they desired to sleep. The dumb animals on board were in a pitiful state of conternation , tbe dogs howled unceasing ly, and evinced a desire to hay the *un Hut tbe must remarkable effect was crea ted upon an old rooster, the last of their •lurk of fowl*, whoaa life had been spared in consldeiatien of his age and consaquent toughness. This venerable bird, day after day, watched the beaveas, but found no •pportuulty of heralding the approach of dawn by his wonted crow, liis mind at last gave way, and oae morniag, in full view of tha astounded vovagers, the uti .happy bird flew upon the rail of the ship, stretched his neck toward* the sun, and giving the merest apology for a crow, •prang into the ocean and was seen no mora In IMM Dr. Hayes # first expedition sail ed northward, and breaking through the n-a in Haffin > Hay, penetrated a* far a* latitude 76*. thU, up to that time, being the ftirthoet point ever attained by explor ers. On the icebergs which he encounter ed |Hilar hears were very numerous. These animals, ha said, are far from being the ferocious monitors which voyagers are so fond of depicting. They are, in fact, vary timid craeturea.

AM HODS or Txaaoa. | A very perilous adventure through I which he pa seed duriug this voyage was j listened to with breathless attention. The Übip was lying in a large natural bay or | harbor, cloae to a glacier; one day a ter rific roaring startled every one on board. LAn immense iceberg had partod from the I glacier, and risen to the surface ao near tha hip that the flrat of a auooaasion of waves which it created carried the veasel, drag ging bar anchor, entirely acre*# tha hay, ilaavlng her within a few feet of the rocks ow tbe opposite side. The wave recoiling, threw over the deck a volumeof water that swept before it everything not made last, jand forced the crew to hold on for their (lives. Two of the fineat glacier* th* lecturer aaw | he chrialened after Prof. Tyndall in com pliment to that groat acientiat for hia Al pine roaoarchea. Among the intereatmg j feature* of th# lecture waa the eihibitien ofaome exquisite photograph# of Arctic, scene* reflected upen a curtain on tne •lege. One of those waa a gigantic rack on the conat of Greenland, which waa in, all rMpacta aim liar to that on wHlch the ill-fated Atlantic had struck, and It waa a matter of aurpriae to Dr. Hayea, in view of i the nature of the coast, thai #o many of the Atlantic* paaaengera had been aaved ' Melville Bay waa tbe higheat point reach ed in thla expedition. In concluding hi*j lecture Dr. Ha ye* aaid that Ihi# trip might be made by any gentleman during the the rummer month* In hi* own yacht. Noble a port could be found in abooting po lar bears, and the trip weuld be no more dangerous than crossing the Atlantic. At the ftrat blush it might seem that sailing among lhaae tremendous glaciers and ice berg* wa* perilous navigation, but it should be berne in mind that at th* proper season darkness never hide* them, and i hence danger from this source need scarce ly be apprehended. e MOXKKYISM IN THK LEGISLA TURE The following monkeyish scene took place in the House on Wednesday evening. 1 last, 10th : The Houte continued in session thi* 1 morning until two o'clock A M.

As to the remarks of Senator M DURE that some of the members had never bean elected, he thought the repreeentalive of ■ the Liberal Republican party was about in tha same boat. He should be glad to i #e all the raambeiw, and particularly all , the Philadelpbians, hack next year, [Greet Applause.) 1 After Senator Davis bad retired the vol ley* of paper hooks were renewed, and,, ' after a variety of scenes entertaining and otherwise, the House adjourned.
