Says the Willi aniiport RcgUter : Wc notice in the legislative proceed ing* of Wednesday, that Mr. Orvi*. ofCentra, attempted to get some ot the State departmental expenses cur tailed, but the House was in no mom! to retrench. It must be remembered that the members were elected under the old constitution, aud a great many of them kuow the value of perquisite*. They can be excused for thus te naciously hanging on to unnecessary expenses aud high salaries, for tew ot them will exhibit their classic features, and flourish their school*boy 7, • when the revenues dropjn-d from 170,000,000 to $40,600,000 On the . dav when Lincoln was sworn in the • deficit was $70,000,000 and the debt i $00,000,000. It was the result, not f of extravagance, for the four yeare ol , Uuchauan's Administration were m l so costly as some years of the preced i ing Administration, But the tax.* j . had been cut down too free'v. N..w • another deficit i threatened, and the f cause is the same old cause. We have : repealed taxes eveiy year except | 18t>8 and IS7J sincp 1806. The amount of these taxes Was SSIH>,SOO, f tHKb At the same time during every ' vear except two the cjxpenses have * beeu reduced. The lota! amount 1 of reduction is $'230,000.000. We •tided the fiscal year 1873 with a r surplus of S43,OOO,tXXb 'ihe,r.vc v nues last year were $333,00t>,0th), and a this year the Chairman of Ways and Means estimates the receiut at ouly v $231,000.000,a difference of $50,01>0,- i tXX>. Iu 1870 taxes a uountii g to . $80,000,000 were cut oil', although 1* the amount cut ofl' was uot at once so I- large, as the back income taxes ecu d tinued to flow into the Trea-ury. Iu v 1872, repealing the tax oil tea and d coffee, the taxes were cut off sts2,otK),- r 000 more, in spite of the pi. test f * ihe Secretary of the Treasury aud r Mr. Dawes. The saddest thing was *• that the abolition of the tax uu l. and coflVc benefited uoue of the con * -uuiers. As au answer to all s|H-cula -1 hious concerning the sup|H>sed deficit r he held up the fact that since I*7o v $142,000,1KX) of taxes had beeu taken r off. Mr. Garfield answered both Mr. Beck aud Mr. Dawes iii regard to the estimates. He said the present bulky book of estimates contained many millions less than the small duodeci mo in which form the estimates were formerly printed. After the book of estimates was sent in last year addi tioual estimates amounting to $20,- 000,000 were seut iu, making the total estimates $328,000,000. Although he had answered Mr. Dawes fully at the tima when the latter charged that the expenditures of this year were $30,000,000 more thau last year he complained that the fact'had never got before the country. Mr. Dawes compared the appropriations this year with the expenditures last year, when it was well known that the appropriations always exceeded the expenditures. Taking out the de ficiency appropriations for the present year he alleged that the appropria tions for the present vear were less than $280,000,000. After discussing the general condi tionofthe finances Mr. Garfield an nounced his,'programme. He said be would not agree to cut down the appropriations at ail hazards to the limit of the reveuue. He would do ali that he could and then the House must take the responsibility of in creasing the taxes if it was found necessary. The Committee on Ap propriations would cut down and postpone whenever it could, but it would not cut down another dollar anywhere for fear of a deficit. If the Committee had gone too far they would unhesitatingly restore appro priations at the bidding of the Ilousf. The entire estimates for the next fiscal year he places at $330,000,000, including $1,000,C00 for the new State Department, a considerable sum for the Centennial, something for the Board of Public Works, $3.(XX),000 for the Southern Claims Commis sion, the pension bills, and other re lief measures. The Committee had reduced the army, navy, and fortifi cation bills $ 11,633,000 from the original estimates, the army bill $1,700,900, the pending bill $4,500,- 000. They expected to reduce in the miMrellaneous bill $900,000 on public buildings aud grounds in the District, $2,500,000 on buildings un der the charge of the Supervising Architect, and $11,500,000 on rivers and harbors. A reduction of $500,- 000 was possible in the Pension bill and 10,000 in the bill for the Milita ry Academy—altogether $34,300,- 000 if the House sustained the Com mittee. He thought that leaving out of account the Board of Public Works and the Centennial the appro priations for next year might be re duced to $27,000,000, exclusive of the sinking fund. Mr. Beck, of Ken tucky, at once rose for reply, and said that when he obtained the floor for his financial speech he would show that the appropriations would exceed the estimates by $15,000,000; that when Mr. Garfield induced Mr. Dawes to take back what he had said about the sinking fund he had led him into a mistake and caused it false impression. He proposed to show that during the time the Republicans had been in power they had expend eel $2,227,420,000, and had collected $2,768,802,000. During the Inst two years of Grant's Administration they had expended more than it cost to run the Government from 1701 to! 1861. He proposed to show how the expenditures were apparently kept down by means of unexpended bal- ! ances in the Treasury previous to a Presidential election, and then made up when the election was over. He alleged that there had been great extravagance in the Indian depart ments that $1,000,000 a year was divided arnoug thieves and robbers in New York for party purposes, and that there was great extravagance in the Navy, the Treasury and other departments. In no other country would a party be continued in power which took no notice of such extrava gances except the periodical scold ing of thieyes and robbers. Several of the Republican organs thiuk it necessary, in speaking of the death of Charles Sumner, to refer in apologetic language to his political position in his last days. They should not be at the trouble. There is no man of whom it can be more truthfully said that bis last days were his best days, tliau of Charles Sumner. He would not forgive Grant for his stupidity in laboring personally with him for the petty and fraudulent San Domingo treaty ; and the elevation oi Simon Cameron to Sumner's old place at the head of the Committee on Foreign Relations was at once an insult aud a burlesque. As to Grant, Sumner told the truth of him in a, giuHPch I lull will lie a warn i It .sordid I'ltsidont- I'i rent irie*. and n tliftt will slump i• |> >ii "i i one o|. the most \ul.-in mi l d.uuu . *i the vices ol our puhiir nun.

Washington THE TRASSPORTATIOS DIM.. lii the House Mr. Arthur, Derm - ciatic member from Kentucky, fin -1 ished his speech ngaii -t the Railroad Transportation bill, and Mr. Ilurlbut, ot Illinois, made a long speech in fa vor of the bill. He argued in favor of a liberality of constitutional in ' terpretatiou which lias not often been 1 heard on the floors of Congress, t n siderable interest seems to I> mani fested in this measure, by the Western j members especially, but yet scarcely i more thau one-fourth of the Home have listened to the speeches thus far i made. The Eastern members gener ■ ally seem to care little about the bill. ! The debate will probably run on for a week or ten days. There is no ! prospect whatever that the bill will he passed. Even the members oi the Committee say that I hey do not expect te get it through the House. They cherish u hope that so much of the bill as proposes a bureau of railway statistics may be adapted, but oven of this they are not certain. Mr. Arthur's speech in favor of freedom of internal commerce from legal restrictions is regarded a* one of the very ablest speeches of the session embracing pretty much all t reds to be said ou that side.

Harrisburg, March 12, 1871 In the Senate to-day Senator Mc- Clure offered an amendment to the fee bill, which created considerable embarrassment among those who arc supposed to be the peculiar friends of the Ring, who profit most on the j large sums of money which thev manage to fiich from the people in the shape of illegal fees. The amend ment was to the effect that on the settlement of (he amounts jif all c ity and county officers who receive Ices, all such officers shall swear that the amount collected was a legal charge, and tlmt the officers so sweating have reoei cd no other moneys in any ether shape, thus in effect swearing every time they make a settlement with an auditor that they have not taken any illegal fees. This amend ment fell like a bomb slu-ll on the* Republican side of the Senate, but ( there was no escape from it, and therefore it was unanimously accepted. The effect will be to enable those who do business with fee officers to save thousands of dollars annually,j while it will break up in every coun ty the systematic practice of official! peculation by which the political Rings have long managed to kcepj themselves in power.

A M IRACULOUS ESCAPE > Two Eugine* ou the I'euuarlvania > Railroad Break Loose from a Pa*- aengrr Train Whilst Drawing it up the llravicnt Grade un tha Alle ghany Mountain*. An accident to tha fast line west on thi Pennsylvania Road let Friday night, which, had it not been prevented by a for tunate occurrence, would ia all probabili ty have Jashed a whole train filled with paisengrrt to destruction. The train was an unusually heavy one. a* the Friday trains from Uarritburg dur ing the w inter generally are, with the re turning members of the Legislature. 1 In the sleeping cart were Senators An derson, Graham and Kutan with theii 1 families; Representatives Newmyar. Hyar. Morgan of Lawrence, with hia family Han Daniel J. Morrell, John Porter and fami ly, Speaker McCormick, of the House ol Representative*, and several member* ol the press. Two engine* were placed in front of ths train at Altona. one of tham run by Kid- Icy, the oldest locomotive driver on lb* road. The train was andar the charge el Conductor Alexander, whe has served eighteen yeert with the Compenv. The night was fearlully cold, the wheels crinxed on the fr<>*ty track, and the great king-boll which holds tbe car down on the i truck, would rite and fall with an alarm ing sound When lha train had passed Kittening IKiint, er the "hor*e-shoe-bend," as it is familiarly called, and was on tha heavies! up-grade on the Allegheny asouitains, the bell-rope lightened with a sudden twang, struck tha top of tha car, and stretched beyond ile utmost extension, il mapped and slackened with a rattle thai nearly brought down the lamp*. A short "down breaks" signal from th engine caused a few anxious passenger* te to look out, wksn they immediately dis covered that tba two powerful engine* had broken louse and were soma Ihreehundred yard* up tba mountain. Most fortunately the train which was thought pi he going up the mountain at a high rata of speed sto| pod ita upward pragreas within one length of itself, and there it stood on that fearful declivity, over . -ii hundred feet to the bottom of tne ra vine, and tan miles up frem the foot ol the grade, with Kittening point, or "hore-sboe-bend," mid-way, before reach ing which, if the train bad not been check ed, would hav* attained the speed of a ininnie ball and have left the track al tha curve like flying machine, and in all prob ability not one of the passengers would have been living to-jay. Tha air breaks, however, better known at "Tha Wexting heuso Atmospheric Break," clasped tbe wheels like a vise the moment tha pressure front the engine had bran taken away and the train was saved from destruction by thi* seemingly simple appliance, but what hn* proved to be a magnificent triumph of modern skill.
