IK RMS.—93 prr pear, in ndonnct, 2.W uhen not yaui in advance Advertisement* per l*ne tor three >■' erfiow, and for e ana 12 month* • y '' ial contract. Washburn, the newly, elected Sen ator from Massachusetts, is * s °* out this programme until the rad.c.l. • agrso to pass.6drapportioo~tntb.il. The democratic senators, some of them at least, are required to make up the requisite two-third* for the confirm* tion of appointment by the Gover nor. We ihiok the democracy justifi able in taking this means to defeat a {jerrymander. The radicals take un due advantage of their power in mak ing the apportionment, and caa not complain of tho course the democrats intend pursuing to bring them to fair dealing. - ♦ ♦ Col. Brown's friends are thinking of bringing out the great leader of the Ceutre county rada for the district at torneyship. If the Col. agrees to ac cept it, they cau't go back upon him, it was be who "carried Ceutrt county for Grant," and surely he can do bet ter and carry it for himself. Col. Brown for district attorney' what a happy thought, what a splendid figure he would cut, dressed in broad-cloth, before 'your honor" Judge Orvia. The radical party must recognise the Colonel s fit* ties* and claims. What say you to it Colonel, will you give way to the importunities of your friends in this matter? Brown in his Republican has become sort of reconciled to Orvis' appoint ment as judge, judging from bis last week's {taper, iu which he passes over the matter in a jokeing kind of way. Brown's prospects for district attor neyship may have caused this soften ing down. He seems to be auxious to practice before his honor Judge Or via, and is not so much disgusted with him after all. Brown wouldn't the lieutenant Governorship suit you better than dis trict attorney, say? We're commit ted on the latter, and feel like sticking to you to the last ballot. THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL. The Judiciary Committee of the Senate reported back a substitute for Mr. Sumner's Civil Rights bill. It differs in some features from the mea sure which the late Massachusetts Senator introduced on the first day of the session, and only grants equal privileges in public, not private schools, though it is questionable if the bill provides for mixed schools. It throws open theatres, all kinds of public conveyances, hotels, restaurants juries, Ac., to all classes without dis tinction of color or previous condition of servitude. The present substitute removes the constitutional objections to Mr. Sumner's bill, aud it remains to be seen who will champion the let ter's measure. The House of Representatives pass ed a bill abolishing the system of pay ing mileage to members of Congre*, and providing that they sball be paid their actual travelling expenses to and from Washington once each session. Two thousand five hundred of the leading business men of New York have signed a petition asking the President to veto the inflation mea sures of Congress. THE APPOINTMENT OP MR. OR- The actios of Governor Hartranft in se lecting a prominent democrat for a judge ship, in a democratic district appears to meet with the approval of both the repub lican and independent press of the state. We copy from various notices the follow ing : (From the Clearfield Republican, dem.) Many of eur readers aie so doubt per sonally acquainted with Mr. Orris, who at the time or his appointment held a teat in the Assembly as a representative from Centre county. He ileed "number one" in that oody of 100 "picked men" from all portions of the Commonwealth. (From the Lewitburg Journal , dem.) He was the ablest Democratic represen tative in that body, and his nomination by Governor Hartranft shows the respect in which he is held by our political oppo nents. (From the Pbila. Evening JiulUlin, rad.) The promptness with which the senate has acted upon this most excellent ap pointment is highly commendable. Mr. Orvis, during hit two terms of legislative duty, has occupied a most enviable posi tion on the democratic side of tho house and bas exercised a large influence as a legislator of clear judgement, cultivated intellect and sterling integrity. Mr. Or vis took a leading position upon his entrance into the legislature, and has maintained it with digni'v and ability. His appointment to the bench deprives the legislature of one of its most valuable members. We congratulate Governor Hartrenft on the impartial wisdom of hii judicial selections, and have no doubt that in thus choosing a portion of tb# judges from tho best of the democratic material at bis disposal he will receive the approv al of the people at large, irrespective of party. (From the Phil a. Chronicle, red.) Ths appointment of Mr Orvis for the Contrs couaty district ia especially gratis fying, because k seem e to • boar that the governor has been able to overlook, in view of the abundant qualifications of M r Orvie, who would veij probably be the choice of the people of his district for th is position, the fact that he is the most con spicuous opponent of the state adraiaisra tion in the house of representatives. It must be admitted, however, that there is apparent ground for the idea suggested by some of the country papers, that the ad ministration was not unwilling rid •fa member who had away of ask trig im pertiasnt questions. Still the appeint ment is a good one, and we may as well give the goveraor credit. (From the Beaver Radical and Argue.) Hon. John H. Or vis, of Centre county, appointed assistant law judge by Govern or Hartranft, is a landing democrat but a strong lawyer, and his appointment was asked by the entire bar of his district irre spective of party. (from the Clinton Democrat, dein.) The appointment of Mr. Orvia a* addi tional Judge in this District was a juit recognition of the will of the majority in the district, for we believe that had that will been expressed, it would have result ed in the same selection, and this will no doubt be verified in next November, when he will, we believe, be elected to the posi tion by a handsome majority. The lead ing lawyer of the District, it was altogeth er proper that he should be raised to the hanch, where be will uo doubt prove as able a Judge as he has beeu a fearless and t&VtUigent advoaate. The State legislature THE LIQUOR QUESTION Ilaiiisbtirg. April 17. 1; H ' • The Sonato passed a number ofhills up to the second reading, •! th'" •* House returned the consider*- lion of bills on tirst reading t reach ed ot Tliumlay. Things went on vt rr ouietlv until about twelve o'clock, When Mr. Toner. y are distributing through the counties they exhort tho people, irre spective of party, to meet in town ships, counties aud districts to select delegate* to the ludianapoSis conven tion, aud in the selection of such dele gates to guard vigilantly against the intrusion of auy oue not Lnowu to be in cordial sympathy with the object of the movemeut, and to exercise es pecial care to exclude all party man agers and self-seeking demagogues. The practical work of tba convention, according to the terms of the call, will be the preparation of a platform anil declaration of principles unon which all honet men may join iu hearty co operation ; but it if not to be supposed that the promoters of this movement will be satisfied with a mere manifesto of opinions. The State conveutious of the Republicans aud Democrats are called for July 15 ami July 17, aud it will be seen that the date set for the Independent convention is more than ' a month earlier. The Independents will doubtless make nominations for all the important offices to be filled. * • ■+- ♦ The Loudon Times gives us a de scription bf the Atmospheric Tubes now in use in that city to convey packages and the mails. The length of the tube is just a mile and three quarters; it is of a flattened horseshoe section, five feet wide, and four and a half high at tba centre, have a sectional area of the seventeen ' square feet. The straight portions of i the line are formed of a cast-iron tube, the curved lengths beiDg constructed in brick work, with a facing of co ment. The gradients are easy the two chief are one in forty-five and one iu sixty, some portions on the line being on the level, and the sharpest curve is that near the Ilolborn station which it seventy feet radius. The tube be tween Holbom and the poatoffice lacks one hundred and two yards of a mile. Tho gradients of ODC in fifteen on the pootoffice, iu no wise prove inimical to the working of the system. The wa gons, or carriers, weigh twenty-two cwL, are ten feet four inches iu ieuglh, and have traverse contour conform ing to that of the tube ; they are, bow ever, of a slightly smaller area than the tube itself, the difference—about an inch all round—being occupied by a flange of india-rubber, which causes the carriers to fit the tube exactly, and so to form a piston upon which the airs act. For propelling the car riers, the machinery consists of a steam engine having a pair of twenty-four inch cylinders with twenty inch stroke. This engine drives a fan twenty-two feet six inches in diameter, and tht two are geared together in such a manner that one revolution of the former gives two of the latter. The trains are drawn from the stations by exhaus tion, and are propelled to those points by pressure. The working of the fan however, is not reversed to suit these continuously varying oonditions ; it works continuously, the alternate ac tion of pressure and exhaustion being governed by valves.

KNPOFTIIK FINANCIAL DK RATE IN mNCKKSS. \N ashingtou, April 14. Congress at last has reached a finality on the tiiiancial question. The I'ouse to day by a vote of 140 to 102 passed the Senate hill without amendment pro viding for 190,000,000 of bunk note and legal-tender xpau-ioti of the vol ume of paper money circulation. To morrow the act will be laid before the I'rosident for his approval. If it is duly signed or allowed to become a law without bis signature it bill un doubtedly he the end of the iiuaucial legislation for this session ofCougica*. If he should veto the act it is not dit ticult to predict the general result. The almost universal impression among the friends and opponent* oftbe measure is that he will sign it. hve ry legitimate parliamentary efunt was made in the House to defeat the Sen ate bill bv points of order to send it to the Committee of the W hole Sev eral were raised involving the gem i al principle that as it increased the public debt and indirectly involved taxation, it was not within the consti tutional province of the Senate to or iginate a bill of this nature. The Speaker verv shrewdly submitted the itue to the House, which atfiruied by a vote of 179 to fit! that the measure had properly originated tu the Senate. Then the point was constitutionally raised that as it was evidently in or der to amend the bill to raise addition al revenue by increasing the bank note tax, it was in effect a revenue measure, aud should go to the Com mittee of the Whole, but tins was abandoned, and without further de lute the bill was passed He fore pass ing the Senate bill, however, the House adhered to its bill for free banking sud finally passed it by 128 to 11 <• aud sent it to the Senate, where, in view of the subsequent action of the House on the Senate bill.if is likely to remaiu unacted on. Before its pas sage there vrcie two votes of some significance, as showing the iudi-imsi tiou of the House to eugrafl anything on lluancial legislation looking t > specis resumption. The tirst was nu amendment pronged by Mr. Jv K. Hoar abolishing the legal-tender fea ture of the United States notes after July 4, 187 d. aud providing after that date that said uotes shall be redeemed in and cancelled for 4} |>ei cent, ten thirty coin bouds. This was lost by 70 to 171. The next was an amend ment proposed by Mr. Foster, provid ing that any increase of national bauk uotes beyond 3a4,000,000 shall be followed by a retirement aud cancella tion of legal tender uotes to the ex tent of 25 per caut. of suob increase until the outstanding unpaid legal tender volume shall be reduced to $300,000,000. This was lost by 105 to 133. On this record ended the firotracted struggle of the financial egislation of the Forty-third Con i great. Only A Woman It would never do tor Weal Point-, ers in the army to admit that a lay man could make any suggestion, tn strategic maremeiiU without being re duced many cubits in their own esti mation, bui when it is gravely airt ed that a woman and a Miss at that, should hare furnished experienced Generals a detailed plan of a cam paign by which the Mississippi was opened and the rebel power in the Southwest brokeu, what humiliation to the service may not be expected. Yet it is true Miss Anna Klla Carroll did this thing, for which she makes claim for services rendered, and for which she is undoubtedly entitled from the War Department. The Hon. Thomas A. Scott, Assist ant Secretary of War, certifies to the justice of the claim in tho most posi tive aud unqualified terms. His statement is worth giving in his own words: Pmi.Anxi.iMiia, June 24, IS7O On ar about ths SOih of November, Mis* Carrol, a* slated in her memorial, called on roe. Assistant Secretary of War, end „ggied ths propriety of abandon ing the vspedilmu hieh wee then prepar ing to defend the MitU*ippi itivur. and to adopt i a stead lheTenneee ltiver, and handed to me the plan of campaign. At appended to her memorial, which plan 1 tubmitted to the Secretary ef War, and iU general ideat were adopted. Oa my re* turn fram the South-Weat, lsyjii. I inform ed Mi*s Carroll, at the ttal in her memo rial, that through the adoption of this plan the country bad Leeu tared miliioa*. a d that it entitled her to the kind contidcra tion of Congreti. THOMAS A. SCOTT. Col. Scott repeats the unreserved declaration in two or three different forma. The Hon. B. i\ Wade is equally cmpnatic. He says that Pres ident Lincoln and Mr. Stanton both informed him that the credit of the Tennessee campaign was due to Mia* Carrol. The Hon. O. 3. Browning, Seuator from Illinois, gives the same evidence with equal distinctness. Chief Justice Evans of the Supreme Court of Texas goes further into de tails, giving the case of the memorial ist far more fully and strongly than she presents it herself. The venerable Elisha Whitllesay joins in the same representations. Such legal authori ties as Reverdy Johnson and Truman Smith say that the evidence is com plete in fier favor. Finally, the Mili tary Committee of the Senate in the X List Congress, after maturely weigh ing the case, reported through their Chairman, Senator Howard of Michi gan, that Miss Carroll had established her claim. Let it uot be *&id that Republics are ungrateful by ignoring services rendered in unofficial or unex|>cclcd quarters, in the moment of national peril. If Miss Carroll's plan, which was certainly adopted, saved millions of dollars to the country, it should not reduce the pride of the army to admit it, nor should Congress hesitate to re ward those services, as it has often in the case of bearded hi pels, with less merit. -r t Alice Mason Sumner, the divorced wife of the late lamented .Senator, Ims filed a petition in the I'robate Court, asking that her name may be changed to that of Alice Mason, for the reason that "she has heeu divorced from her late husband, who has since deceased, and desires to resume her maiden name." The citation has issued, and the case will be heard before his Hon or Judge Ames, on Monday, May 4, neat. Joseph 11 rooks, yhu claims lo have been elected Goveruor of Arkansas in 1872, on 15, took forcible possession of the Governor's office and ejected Goveruor Baxter. Serious trouble is poyernor Baxter has requested the President to aid him in regaining possession of his office.
