How unjust in him to have opposed it Baxter's negro troop*, ran at the first pistol .hot, during the little brush at Little Rock, on The New York House of Rep's pa**- ed a compulsory education bill on the same morning that such a bill was de feated in the Pennsylvania Legists lure. Lieutenant Governor or District Attorney, which will you have. Brown ? We fear the latter is a flank movemeut of some pretended friend* to rob you of the former. Be on your guard aud listen ouly to the ad vice of the REPORTER Some poorly posted Washington correspondent of the Chicago Times, in speaking of the next U. S Seua torship in Pennsylvania, says. "Gov. Geary is also certain of considerable radical support.** Well, as Geary is dead these rads would be improving things by choosing him rather than some of the live ones they are talking about. The judicial nomiuation* were agaiu before the Senate on 23, and failed to be confirmed for want of democratic votes to make the requisite two-thirds. This stand the democratic senators have resolved to maintain until the radicals agree to pass a fair apportion ment. During the last years the state and na tion saw. the constant sittings of com mittees gt investigation at Harrisburg aud Washington—not ouly oue com mittee but half dozen of them, aud scarcely a week during a congressioal session, that does not show a resolu tion offered for the appointment of new investigating committees. Now what are these committees which are sitting continually, with the new one* that are conetantlv appointed, to in vestigate ? Is there work for them ? Why it is rascality, fraud, corruption, bribery, Ac., Ac., uuder the slate and national administrations, and oue fourth of these crime* perpetrated by our public men are not looked into, but passed orer aud winked at, be cause they are committed by political favorites whom it will not do to ex pose ou account of the interests of party ; and the corrupt practices that are investigated by committees are only a drop out of the ee* of corrup tion which has flooded iu ugly wa ter* into every branch and depart ment of the state and national govern ments. We are not exaggerating this mat ter now, and every reader of the RE PORTER well knows it is only too true. Yet the people seem to be in different all the while under this bad state of affaire, we suppose, from the fact, that they are getting used to it. The bigger the rascal the greater the man, and the more he is entrusted with party leadership. How long will the good people ]>er mit these evils to grow and increase, and when will it all end? This is a question that should concern all. What will become of this country if the growing corruption among the menin public positions is not. checked ? \\ e do aot think that any other government en the face of the earth can be charged with as many schemes of plunder, robery, bribing, and fraud, as are committed at pres ent under our own government. This is a sad state of affairs, and sad to re late, yet every honest reader %ill admit | it is true. Let there cleaning out, and a purification at Washington and at Harrisburg, for so long as the men now in power hold sway these* things will continue. Violating the New Constitution. The unfair and one-sided apportion ment bill now before our state legisla ture is a clear violation of the spirit of the New Constitution, aud the mem bers who vote to force it upon the peo ple, are guilty of moral perjury. The present legislature wu elected under the old Constitution, hut was sworn in under the new, and is under the most solemn obligation to obev it in ! spirit as weil as in letter. Ho one can deny that the unfair apportionment* of this state, during the jast fifteen years, were among the crying evils which called into exis tance the late constitutional conven tion, and it is equally clear that that body intended that gerrymanders should henceforth he prohibited, and the gross injustice ol the past, through which oue half of the taxj>ayers of the commonwealth were disfranchised, •bould no longer b practiced. These are undeniable facts ; yet we see the majority attempting to violate tlie plain spirit and intent of the new Con stitution, by offering an apportion ment which is grossly unjust, so far, at least, as it affects Philadelphia, be cause it is so framed as to give the corrupt ring of that city some thirty four members while the democrats and anti-ring republicans, who consti tude one-half the voters, would Have only four members of the bouse! What honest minded, impartial man, will call that justice, and what mem ber of the legislature cau vote for such a bill with a clear conscience? Every oue knows that the new Con stitution intends such injustice shall not be committed. It is mural perjitr and we trust the iniquity will be defeate I by every fair moan* in the power of the democrat* of the U gis-la lure. It i* to *top this iniquity that the | democrat* of the senate have resolved to prevent the confirmation of Hart rant * judicial appointments, until a fair apportionment is framed. It re quire* the vote of democratic senators to make up the two-thirds necessary for confirming *uch appointment*. l*t them hold out to the end, until fair dealing is secured. The demo cratic patty of tha state is with them in this matter. Forney'* IWss and other republican organs also side in with them and admit that the Appor tionment is grossly unjust. To pa** an unfair apportionment, i! a violation ot the spirit of the urw constitution of this state, aud is oue of the evils against which the fraiucrs of that instrument mainly endeavored to guard, and a large majority of the vo ters of this commouweulth look the satue position in ratifying theuew fun-| dameutai law. Hence the democracy of the scuate have a light to make use any lawful means in their power to prevent a groups gerrymandering ap portionment, by which a large class ot honest citizens arc sought to be dis franchised ; and in refusing to ratify the judicial appointiueut* of Gov. liartranft, the demcratio senators are not liable to just seusure, uulil his party deals fairly with the democratic masses aud accords them those right* which are in plain accord with the spirit of the new constitution. wis ■ - • ♦ Local Option in the House There was an exciting time in the House of Rep's of the stale, on[22, on the liquor bill. The House met at ten o'clock, with the l obbies crowded with the crusading delegation from Pittsburg and Alleghany, and, agree ably to order, proceeded to the con sideration of house hill No. 238, "an act declaratory of u act entitled an act to permit the voters of this com monwealth to vote every three years on the questiou of granting licenses to sell intoxicating liquors." The Patriot say*, not only were the lobbies aud all the standiug space in the hall occupied, but the seats of the members in tne outer row were gen erally surrendered to the ladies. A more wUraotivt aud interesting scene has not been witnessed in the house for many a day. As the debate pro gressed the fair crusaders frequently < manifested their approbation of the of the remarks of the advocates of Local Option. The measure which excited this in terest was a simple bill reported by | the committee on vice aud immorali ty, which declared the true intent and meaning of the local option act to be that distillers and brewers shall have pewer to sell their productions iu all the counties of the state a* fully a* if that law had not been eoacted. Ef forts were made to recommit the bill to the committee which reported It and to commit it to the general judicia ry committee. Both of these propo sitions were defeated by decisive ma jorities and the bill as reported by the committee was passed to second read ing by a vote of fifty five yeas to thir ty-eeven nays. During the discuaaioo many members explained that while they were opposed to the kill in its present shape, they were willing to pass it to second reading as u earnest of their purpose to vote for the repeal of the w hole local option acL As this was the only way in which the issue waa presented to them they were rea dy U meet it without concerning them selves about the phraseology of the bill. In this light must Uie actios of the house yesterday be regarded. In j its present form the bill bra few friends in the house, as it will not be seriously urged that it declares the true intent and nmaning of the local option act. When it shall come pn on third read ing iu supporters will be able to put it in such a shape as will be accepta ble to the majority of the house. Thus the crusaiiera from Piiubitrg met a defeat right in their faces from . the house, as the above bill il a virtu al repeal of the local option law. THE INFLATIONISTS' PRO GRAMME. Washington, April 25.—The friends of inflation have finally agreed upon their programme, and the debate up on the President's message will be very incisive, and no special care will be taken to save the feelings of iu au thor. An address to the country has been prepared, and will be signed by all the republican senators and rep resenutures who fisvpr inflation. This will be made public in a few days. A square issue is to be made before the country, and the leaders in this move ment are confident of success at the fall ejections. They claim that they will carry every state en this issue rave the New England and the Pacific coast states. It is to he a war of ths people, they say, against the banks and moneyed institutions. A* an initiatory step in thiscrusade a bill has Leeu prepared and will be in troduced in the Beuaie ft ap early day restoring the income tax. All salaries and incomes over $5,000 are to be tax ed five per cen., and thoee over $lO,- 000 ten per cent This measure, they claim, can be put through without difficulty, and the President dare not veto it. It will b* absolutely neces sary to increase taxation. The Presi dent admits this, and by the income tax alone can the increased burdens be taken directly from the shoulders of the masses. Louuiaap'* distress increases with every report. Five million acres pf land are submerged, and it is estimat ed that fifty tbousaud people will be in a starving condition a week hence. A bill passed finally in the House at Harrisourg, the object of which is to save expenses in settling up estates of dacendeuU whose real estate is val ued less than SI,OOO. Righteous law.

Flection* were free, and uncontrolled by mili tary authority, and freedom of speech mid of the press were not abridged. The right of the people to security in their person* ami etlVcts was not pro hibited. Innocent persons were not arretted and imprisoned by the link ling of a bell, and innocent women were uot hanged. Then, there was neither unbridled taking of gifts nor wholesale appointing of relatives to office; no Hla'-k Friday* to be in quired iuto; no corner* in gold or stock* to le accounted for; ami no Leet A Slocking fraud* and contracts to be investigated Then, the Presi dental or other salaries were not ie creased, uor was the Treasury deple ted bv the use of contingent fund* tor the esse, luxury, and splendor of high official*. Ship* of w*r were uot used a* pleasure boat*, uor were the sol diers of the Republic employed as menials in the streets and house* of the capital, louring these four year* no Vice President ot the \ nited *tats was in complication with infamous practices ; no man questions the integ rity of Congress ; nor was Congress compel!*! to purge iiselt of those who had steeped themselves in infamy by their connection with fradulent schemes such as were exposed by the Credit Mobilier investigation of last session. In those days sovereign States were not reduced to a condition of va •salage. The dreg* of Northern ; i vagabondism were not forctd iuto the highest Executive and legislative positions br fraud and violence, and kept there by the decrees of a corrupt ' Judiciarv sustained by Federal bay -1 onet*. Then, from uuder the very shadow of ths Capitol came no dee ' pairing cry from the |>eople to be re -1 lieve-l of, ami protected from the bur -1 dens aud exaction* of task master*, set ' over them by the Federal authority, ' a how MP)' accused of malfeasance ' aud corruption, by which their pro perty was being confiscated, their 1 means exhausted, aud their prosperity 1 destroyed. ' | In that season of profligacy, a* it 1 was stigmatized by Mr. Kelly, the; ! body politic was not diseased to its ! core, so that it might be touched no ' where without vile corruption ami ' | festering rottenness oozing forth. In • those days, spies aud informers and ' moiety grabber* were'not hired and sent forth to prey upon merchants, citizeus, aud corporation*, so that la ' i vorites might fatten on due* belonging to the Federal Treasury. Then de ' faultgtf were not screened iu their ' peculation or pardoned. f by accident ( thev were convicted, and their bonds \ ■ men left unmolested by reason of their 1 'l social aud personal relations with those in authority. Then no wild ' railroad scheme* were fostered by the ' Government by which layman and 1 priest, widow and orphan, were plun ' iered aud ruined, by which ten* of millions tf #cre* of tile public domain ' were giveu away without considera ! lion, for the enrichment of "inside ' rings," of gamblers and speculators, ' and shame and dishonor brought upon 1 the national name aud credit, lhen, ! manfacture*. trade, commerce and ' business generally, were not stricken ' a* "by the hand of paralysis : tarviug | j mn and women did not march through ' I the streeu of cities crying for work or ' bread, and receiving neither. Then, ? honest industry received it* just re " ward, and bloated fortunes coined out " of the uecewities of the j>eople w ere ' unknown. In that day there were no privileged class** of baukers and 1 bondholders with cothr* tilled with ' iramuties granted at the expense of the ' people. Then, there was Republican 1 simplicity in official life and mauner#, " and there was no aping of regal mag nificeuce in establishment, intercourse, 1 or equipagp. Tbeto were some of the things which did not exist during the administration of James Buchanan that season of proflicacy referred to by 1 his colleague (.Mr. Kelley); but if thev had eccured in this season of profligacy a pf 14 years uot difficult to determine the res|*>D*tbili ty of all these high crimes and misde meanors, of all the sins of emission ' aud commission, of all these invasions > of the rights and liberties of the peo • pie, and of these violations of the Con -9 stitutioii and the laws, tie arraigned I the party to which his colleague he-' • longed liefore the bar of the American 9 people. p He (Mr. Clymer) had not lost faith in the people.

Every ' where the people were marshaling 9 their forces and the late results of ' their detached conflicts indicated un -9 erriagiy how well (hey understood its 9 momentous issues. When the gener al and final judgement was rendered 1 the people would surely end this sen ■ son of profligacy, and compel ruler* ' and representatives to return to and 9 practice tboje virtues and principle* • which abounded when tiie nation was ' born, which sustained the nation in its ' struggling infancy and ennobled it in 1 its strengthening manhood, and, by 1 the abandonment of which, suffering and distress, disgrace and shame, had • been fastened upon the American peo '■ pie. 1 THE PRESIDENT VETOES THE FINANCIAL BILL. i Washington, April 22. —At 2:20 ' General Babcock, private secretary to • Uie President, delivered a message to > the senate, which was read immediate ly at the request of Mr. Coukling, The President returned the finance ! bill without liib signature, and say* ' the fact cannot be conocaled that the hill increases the paper, circulation of the country 8100,000,000. The theory, in his belief, is a do -1 parture from true principles of fi nance, and its approval would be u departure from every message sent to congress by him on the subject. He recommends earnestly such legislation a* will secure as speedily as practica ble a return to specie payments, and refers to the pledges of the govern ment to make provision at the earli est practicable moment for the re demption of United States notes in coin. He recommends that the revenues of the country be increased so as to meet current expenditure* as a pre paratory meusure toward specie re sumption. He was disposed at first to give great weight to the argument that there was an unequal distribution of national banking currency, but thought differently upon considering the fact that $4,000,000 such currency still remains in the treasury subject to, the ilenmml of accliot m t?i'irinj if. t Thar# wa* a acene of intense dismay in a the Senate thi- Hftonioon when the veto | metsage vr* nnnouiti'i-d I ii* leader* ol the intlationist*, Mrli>, l.ogan, ami Far " ry, of Michigan, were iluinb with aurprur b at firat.

That eminent prelate, the Bishop of Manchester, in England, Ima declared himself in favor of cremation. At the conuccralian of a burial ground at Bolton, lie said it had been proposed by an eminent Indon physician that, instead of burying our bodies in the ground—a practice which wa* said to entail sanitary mischief and a great loss of valuable land—we should burn dead bodies; and it was now a ques tion of the cremation of bodies; in stead of their interment. lie felt a sort of ahudder at the idea of burning! the dead, and yet the time might come' when the idea would have become familiar to their minds, and in a hun dred years or so it might perhaps be-' come the custom for bodies to bo burn ed. I'oople who hnd believed in im mortality bud in previous times btiru-l ed tho bodies of their dead. The an-! cient Romans believed in burning the bodies of their dead. Cremation was certainly quite as decent as the prac tice of interment, for anything that he saw, and urns containing the ashes of the dead were more picturesque than coffins. He simply, however, referred to the subject because he wished his hearers to diseociato the resuriection from physical conditio!;. Could they suppose that it would lie more impos sible for God to raise up a body at the resuirection, if need be, out of ele mentary particles which had been lib erated by the burning, than it would he to raise up n body from dust and from the elements of bodies which had passed into the structure of worms? The omnipotence of God is not limi ted, and lie wou'd raise the dead whether lie has to raise our bodies out of churchyards, or whether He has to call our remains, like the ri• mains of some ancient Roman, out of au urn iu which they were deposited two thousand years ago.

A rather interesting case waa decided to-day in the court of Common l'laa*, it being an action to recover five thousand dollars a* the result ola dispute over a cent. The rata waa that of S. M.

When tho conductor came around far the faro he demanded uf Schoo ly thirty-five cents. The latter objected, slating that the fare wa* but thirty cents that wa* all ho had paid from Bradock to'Pituburg. The con ductor admitted that thirty cent* wa* all the fara from llraddock to l'ituburg. but that wa* on acpount of having no ticket ofljee at tha (Jul named plaoa, hut that it waa five oeuu tnoro for a return trip.
