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 <?!.
quence in future assemblies, wulees
we mistake the temper of the people.
These high salarv and great appro
priatioo meu, will presently feel the
keeu sensation of a scythe sliding
through their official necks.
The following is a synopsis of the
bill to brovide for the collection ot

Commonwealth, which passed first

Senate bill No. 54 (salary bill) was
passed finally by the following vote:
Yeas 14, nays 10—Wareani voting
nay.
The bill (which does not go into
effect until December 1, 1874) pro
vides that the compensation of mem
bers of the general assembly shall be
SI,OOO for each regular and adjourned
annual session, not exceeding 100
days, and $lO per diem for time
necessarily spent after the expiration
of the 100 days, provided that such
time shall not exceed fifty days at
any one session, and $lO per diem at
each adjourned or special session and
mileage to and from their homes at
each regular, adjourned or special
session at the rate of twenty cents per
mile. The salaries of the chief clerks
of the senate and house are increased
from $2,000 to $2,500. The com pen
sation of the assistant clerks remains
unchanged. These salaries shall
cover ail services rendered by them
at regular or adjourned sessions and
during the recess. Said clerk shall
receive no nnnual salaries during
years in which there shall be no reg
ular or adjourned anuual session, and
in years in which special sessions only
•ball be held they shall be paid $lO
per diem for the term of such special
session and mileage, as is otherwise
provided in this act.
The members of the Legislature
are to be commended says the Press,
for resisting the payment of a num
ber of newspaper bills for advertising
the new constitution. Many of these
latter we are agsured on undoubted
authority, are the grossest swindles.
It is so seldom that a legislator has an
opportunity of impeaching the char
acter of a journalist that we hope the
the members will make the most of
the chance which now presents it
•elf. Certain of the editors of the
smaller weeklies have attempted to
defraud the State and it is due to the
cause of decent journalism that they
be exposed.
Graugers and women's temperance
rangers are all the go now. The
atate legislature is not doing much
and congress cant toll how to get out
Of the financial muddle.
Garfield oil the Deficit.
At the end of the long ami fruit
If struggle over the frank uq .pi.i
lion on sth, the HOUM want into j
Committee of the Whole on the 1,.g
islativc, Executive, and Judicial Ap-j
proprialion hill. Mr. Garfield, as
Chairman of the Appropriations
Committee, took charge of the bill.!
He sail the main question to be con
sidcred was how much expense was
necessary to carry on the Govern
msnt. He believed the people were
willing to pay all that wa* nettled
to clothe the artificial giant which
they call government. The key to
the financial situation wa- the surplus
in the Treasury. Whenever there
had been a deficit it wn* the r. suit
, either of had administration or bad
legislation. This bad occurred but
twice —once iu 1840, when a deficit of
$ 17,000,000 occurred, which broke
the party in power, and again m 1 f*.>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,

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

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.

A Check on Illegal Foe Takers.
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.

:t full report ol the result* of a scientific
i xplorali >ti miclc at the expen.-e of himself
utid tt private citixen of California, last
summer, fur tho purpose of ascertaining
the practicability of reclaiming or sub--
merging the re.it Colorado desert by turn-'
ii g into il the wrutvrs of the Colorado river
r the gulf of California. The report of
J. E J. lines, the engineer who conducted
tin- expedition, and hii elaborate com
mentary upon it by K E. retell, an
tfitiri nt civ il engineer of Sun Francisco,
lurii-h. • the following \ ery interasting in
formation, much of which is entirely new.
The explication show * that the greater
•rl NI of tl • <".•!.-ratbirle-ert.Jand Mojave i
valley and Ihenth valley which lie north ]
"fit, are from 4<l to 100 feet below the level i
of the sea. and that this great desert, stretch - : \
| ing from lower California to logo county i
in tho state uf California, and from thei
f.nst! of the con t range mountain* to the ]
< '• dorado river,comprising an arvaof about 1
•00 miles long by 160 inile* wide, may be t
converted into a chain of lakes or irrigated ,
bv the method nbovo mentioned, and al*" j
thiil a laige tiortion of this desert really',
consists of extremely fertilo sell, being a ,
tb-< p alluvium susceptible of the highest!,
cultivation. i c
It i* further shown that the pre valence |
of what are known as sand storms and hot ',
dc-sicating winds and the deficient rain i,
fall, fhe evils suffered by tlie surrounding' f
country, and as fur north as the Tulare (
valley of California, are directly traceable
to the existence of tho desert from which, 1
as from a great furnace, constantly rises in '
the summer time, a xast column of heated
air without appreciable humidity.

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. Tha pas*ange>s were de
tained but a thort time and were landed
in Pittsburg "on time."— Pmt.
RUNNING ON ITHOWN ACCOUNT.
Altona, March 16.—Yesterday an en
gine standing on the Pennsylvania railread
1 company's yard at thi* place, got started
in tome way, without any person on it, and
ran through the round house and across an
open apace into the large machine shop,
running the entire length of the thep,
over three hundred feet, in which over five
hundred men were at work. On* man
mimed Curfmau was killed, and another
named Bradley, had his leg taken off and
cannot live. It smashed everything in its (
ceu rse.
