■ FRKD.KURTZ. F.ditor. Centra Hall, Pa., Mar. 5, IST I IRRMS.— taper pear, adrmncc, when not paid in adrancc. Adrrrti yemrnt 2tV per hnr for tin rrfion*, and far fi and X'lmontlr I v "! ial contract. An amendment to the Constitution, providing for the election of 1. Senators by tho people instead of the Legislature is being agitated. That would be proper euough, the people should have the right to deterroiue who shall be their Senators. Under such an amendmeut it would never have been possible io saddle a Simon I am* eron upon our state, who never was elected to any office by the people. And now Sumner is opposing the centennial jubilee. On the -• ult ~in the senate the centennial bill came up when Mr. Sumner offered his amend ment in the nature of a substitute, providing that the government haii not take any responsibility with regard to the ceutenuial. Mr. Suuincr then proceeded to address the senate iu favor of his proposition, lie dis claimed any opposition to the celebra tion of the centennial of American independence, but he was op|w*.d to mixing it up with a world's fair. He then proceeded to sketch the history of American independence, speaking at considerable leugth without dis cussing the merits of the bill before the senate. If the Philadelphia linjt were killed ofl", there would not be so uiu£h hcsitaucy iu some quarters to give the ceuteunial more earnest encourage ment. But people have an idea that if the riug gets its dirty fingers into it, they will steal the bigger part of the funds. A New Yorker has sent #SOO to the conscience fund —rnouey which he had unjustly taken from the govern ment. A few fellows have cheated the Reporter after lifting it some rears, if conscience dont strike them, the sounding of Gabriel's trump on the last day, will be the commencement of a warm time for tbeni. John Latta, some time ago, was mentioned iu connection with the next democratic nomination for gov ernor. Now we notice that he is mentioued for lieutenant governor. Mr. Latta may next be recommended for chief clerk of one of the depart ments. Bruce Petrikeu also was mentioned for governor, a month ago. We now hear a Huntingdon paper "tetchiiig him out" for lieutenant governor. Trot out your second rate material, there is some more of it on hand. Our member, Mr. Orvis is on the committee to investigate the recent black-mailing scheme to aid in the passage of the usury bill. He has given the witnesses a thorough sifting, and if there was anything in them, on ly the deepest perjury on the part of the witness, could prevent Mr. Orvis from getting it out. Senator Cameron meets with i success in putting the centennial hi through the senate, and has failed in several attempts. No wonder, any measure in such hands must be look ed upon with suspicion. Cameron is the wrong mau to put at the head of any thing reputable. The bill allowing parties to take 10 per cent interest by special coutract, was defeated in the house, the other day, which settles the matter for this session. Brown's last week's paper pelts u broadside at representative Oryis. Wc thought Wiliiam had learned to know, ere this, that all his shots are as paper pellets against an iron clad, bo far as Orvis is a fleeted thereby. W. W. "went for him" right hand somely last election, and the result was a largely increased majority for Mr. Orvis. Brown is past hurling any one, and never would be held guilty of slander, for bis abuse has the opposite effect, and no one believes what he Bays. Better print Mr. Orvis' record, and let your readers know What he is doing, and make yourself respectable—Mr. Orvis is gaining strength every day, no matter what Brown says. The state of Massachusetts and the radical parly of that commonwealth io particular, has been iu tearful com motion, on account of the appoint ment of oue Simmons a collector at Boston. Butler and his faction were for Simmons —the balance of the Mas sachusetts delegation and the inost of the leading rads were against him, and the war was terribly bitter. The matter was decided on 27, by the con firmation of Simmons. Iu fact, the fight could not have oeen more bitter and caused more ugly mouth-malting, if it had been a peck of Green per-| simmons that the anti Simmon's rads were made tc swallow, aud everybod/ knows how quick gaeen persimmon will draw a rnau's mouth into a whist ling attitude. Senators Boutwell aud Sumner again severally spoke iu op position to the nominee. Senators Conkling and Carpenter advocated the nomination, speaking in praise of the gentleman and of his business ca pacity, and were unable to see in the remarks presented any proper reasous for rejection. Finally the vote was taken, and the senate confirmed the nomination by a vote of 27 to 17.

It is, Shall men and boys, howev* r well colore*!, but ragged to I rhe poiut of indereuey, and dirty to absolute filthincaa continue to enjoy the freedom of the galleries? 'l'hey now make them their lounging and rest ing places. Soiue of these habitues are famous sleepers. Keen when the rights and privileges and wrongs and disabilities of their own race are un der discussion, somnolency * vcrcomea them, and they sleep "not wisely but too well." Senators have told me thai ihorugh ail their night sessions thev :iir 6ncotnpAtt\ k il about tv thii uiiik cloud of oblivious witnesses, who some limes spend the entire night, especi ally if the weather In* cold or stormy, luxuriating in the warmth and com fort of the suiunur-like air aud soft cushioued seats of the gallery. Now the quesliou is. Should the I uitrd States Senate Chamber be u*ed as a station-house for vagrants, however meritorious, sud tatterdemalions, how ever patriotic ? Colored women, hav ing a more lively sense of propriety, and not having the franchise, seldom visit the Capitol except in their Suu day best, vet 1 saw the other day in i the ladies gailt ry of the Senate a cou i pie of elderly ©oloivti UUIKIUSM** who [evidentlv did not do their own wah ing, ueithsr did they put it out. 1 was a irieud to the colored peo ple when they needed friend-—when the politicians who court and use them now were ridiculiug, reviling, and hunting them down; harsh or fault finding spirit I sjwak now. "Faithful are the wounds of a friend." I mean all I say in kindness, but somebody oogjit to sp-ak out when there is a general cause of corn plaiut. Sloth aud squalor are uot confined to our lately enfranchised citizens, but here at the capital they oftenest put on that color—a color which always inclines mo to lenient judgment, remembering the long, dreadful past, the hard condition ot the old life, the cruel hindrances, the darkness, the boudago—all unfitting them for habits of rder ami industry, for selfrespectiug respectability ztiil. 1 think it is time they were taught either by the precept aud example of the most intelligent and refined ot thairowu race, or by the authority yet f>r a lime renting in ours, to re ! gard the proprieties and decencies of life. Into our street care, especially those on the avenue, come rneu and boys whom it is uot disagreeable but positively perilous to set by anima ted masses of rags, giving out foul and sickening odors Ihe street car, | tis true, "is the poor man's carriage," but it it extravagauce in the poor J man to use it when he can as well j walk. How men ragged as Xeapo ! litan lazzaroui tan afford frequent indulgences of the kiud is to rue a profound and baffling mystery. 1 have known great hulking, lazy boys, with rags fluttering in every wiud, like signals of distress, tske a street ear for a lift of three or four blocks. I Colored youths of this sort show a raauly jealousy of their rights under the fifleeutb amendment, aud seldom | are known to offer a seat to ft women, | whether she be a delicate white girl or a feeble old colored "aunty, are almost as uncivil as New York merchants, lawyers, and (tjlton. I hope I need not say lam glad that colored people can ride in the cars, but it does seem to me they are over doing the thing in this city, he hardly have a fair chance; they have so taken possession of that popular vehicle that we think of petitioning the munificeut and magnificent cor poration of the Georgetown and Navy vard Street Railway to furnish a set |of new aud eleguut cars, and put new straw in them aud colored eouduo tors on them, and set them apart for our colored citizens, leaving to us the present* old, dilapidated concerns, unchanged, except that they shall be plainly lettered. "While people allowed to ride in these cars." To be serious and not invidious, It seems to me that for the honor and safety of the community, regu lations should be established exclud ing all persons indecently ragged or offensively dirty not only from the galleries of the Capitol hut from the public conveyances of the city, and that these regulations should be rigid ly enforced without regard to age, sex color, or previous condition of servi tude. Since winter weather and black of funds have suspended operations of the Board of public Works, many poor colored men are quite out of em ployment. How do they live ? Do the ravens feed them ; and who are j the ravens ? They are not riotoua or disquieted. They seem rather to en joy their leisure in hanging about the City Hall, and thronging the head quarters of the District Governmeut. Any point where voting is going on, and their race is represented, has still a novel attraction for them. The more ignorant have wild ideas of their political privileges. They seem to think that offices are lying about loose, and that they can help them selves to the franchise at any time. What man so ignorant and so poor among them all as to be wilting to change his political status for that of an intelligent, well-to-do white wo man ? They are adopting, I fear, come of the questionable social philosophies of the highest civilization. A friend lately overheard a little street-corner talk between two young colored la borers, Says one, ou the broad grin of friendly delight at the encounter : "Why, I declar, I'se mighty glad to I see you: how is you, and how's yer family?" Says the other, ou a broad*r grin, "O, I'se fust rate —but I haint got no family," "Whatl is yer wife dead ?" "Bless ye. uo, she's only run ned away with another roan; how's your woman ?" But slavery was not the best of schools in which to learn respect fur the marriage bond as a sacred, irrevocable compact, ami per haps it is well that they take its oc casional rupture iu this easy philoso phical spirit—not considering that the emancipation proclamation ami con stitutional amendments give them the right to stab ami smother inconsistent consorts, like so many Othellos, or to avenge their domestic infelicities by shooting right and left, like ordinary Anglo-Saxon heroes or great am bassadors and envoys extraordina ry.

L. Guso, of the Caosville Soldiers' Orphans' School, have ie turned from Huutiugdou county, where the Committee held meetings at Caasville and elsewhere on fuc? day, Wedueadny an.l Thursday of this week. They adjourned la-t night to meet again in Huntingdon on Friday of next waek, whet) thetvi deuce will be closed, and the Com uiittee wilt make their report. At this week's meeting of the Committee upwards of oue hundred ami fifty witnesses were examined on behalf of the defendant, Guc- The testimony was entirely of a negative character, and was aimed to excul pate Guss hv the evidence of persons who hail uever eeeu him commit the acts complained of. The general impression is that the evidence put duccd for the prosecution was uot shakeu iu the least. There are rumors at Huntingdon that extraordinary cttbrU are being put forth to induce some of the wit nesses who testified against Guss at the past meetings of the Committee, to put in retractious a' the meetiug uext week, and that money is being freely used to accomplish this purpose. Oue pretty straight story is that a girl whoso testimony seriously iucriutiua ted Guss, has been offered four- liuu dred dollars to go on the stand again aud contraiict herself. There is rather strong evidence of this. The closing meetings of the com mittee are expected to be very excit ing. The people of the county ate ! intensely interested, and the feeling . runs high. The majority believe IGuss guilty, while ne has a few \ friends who staud by him and say lie is a persecuted saiut. Feb 27- House bili No. 18; re galing the usury law,,, expo pj ou j second reading. The pending question was a motion of Mr. E. Reed Myer to postpone the bill indefinitely, Mr. Wolfe entered into a personal explanation of the motives which had induced him last Friday to call tie previous question in the midst of a speech by Mr. Orvis iu favor of the bili. liw bad taken that action be cause it had been apparent to him that Mr. Orvis had intrnded to "talk against time," i e , to consume all the time until the hour of adjourumeul, and thus prevent a vote upon the bill. He had been confirmed in that view by tindiug upon the floor, at the foot of his desk, a noto addressed to Mr. Orvis by another member, saying, "Orvis, can't wc prevent them from getting a vole today? Wide is ! preparing to call the previous ques j tion." At this point Mr. Wolf* wa„ jpter I rupted by the speaker pro Inn. Mr. , Newmyer, who alluded pointedly to the impropriety of presenting a nols obtained in such a manner, more I particularly in be absence of Mr. Orvis (who is on duly out uo an In ' vestigating committee). Mr. Wolfe defended himself by say i ing that the note had contained notii j ing improper, nnd that Mr. Orvis, j who war effected too by it, was fully able to take car* of himself on his return. Mr. Talley said that he bad made a definite agreement with Mr. Wolfe on that day by which he [Mr. Wolfe] promised on his houor as a man and a member not to call the previous question, yet lie had violated that promise a f;w moments afterwards. Mr. Wolfe admitted these facts, j but explained that he had only vio lated the agreement when it had be come evident that Mr. Orvis intended to talk uutil the hour of adjourn ment. He had moreover, become irritated by some |tersona! allusions made by Mr. Orvis. Mr. Talley replied that a member who allowed himself to become so irritated as to forget a solemn promise ought not to spenk. Mr. Newmyer (Speaker pro tem.) said that the attempt made by Mr. Wolfe on that day to force a vote on the usury bill immediately on the heels of tbo developments of the at tempted bank swindle, was as bad as calling the "previous questisu" in the midst of a member's speech. Mr. E. Reed Myer considered that Mr. Wolfe had violated no rule of the House, and was in his opinion entire ly justified it) the course he bail ta ken. The bebate then took h discursive form. Various members explained the reasons which would influence them in their votes upon the usury bill, all of them alike disclaiming being influenced in any way by out side pressure or by any of the acts of irresponsible parties. The motion to indefinitely postpone! the bill was agreed to by C 8 yeas to 14 nays. House, Feb.2B.—Mr. Orvis rose to! a question of privilege, und staled that lie saw from the proceedings of] the house that a private letter ml-j dressed to him had been read by the gentlemen from Union, nnd said he was very much obliged to the gentle man for withholding the name of the writer, and hud no objccliou to the gentleman's reading all his letter under the same condition, and only; rose to let the writer of the note know that his confidence had not been betrayed, as lie (Mr. Otvisjj did not know how the gentleman from Union (Mr. Wolfe) had ob tained possession of the note. Mr. Wolfe stated in reply that the note referred to hud been hand ed to him by a third party and had not been picked up by him self. Mr. Orvis replied, und lite mallei was further discussed by Iwitii yen j, tlemeii. The salary of the Lieutenant Governor is to be thrae thousand dollars per an-i num.
