Browner salvation-the new eon

opposed it

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.

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.
Small estates now are almost eaten up
by lawyers and court expenses, Ac-

Mr. Clvmer'a speech was intended i
at a reply to a speech of Mr. Kellev, ;
•oiuo week* aiuce, arraigning Mr. ,
Huohanan'* Administration. lie (Mr. i
Clytner) declared that during those
four year* puritv in private life and
integrity in public life were the rule
and not the exception. 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

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

' over them by the Federal authority,
' a how MP)' accused of malfeasance
' aud corruption, by which their pro

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

sent forth to prey upon merchants,

to the Federal Treasury. Then de

' 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

p He (Mr. Clymer) had not lost faith

9 who founder! theGovernracnt. 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

1 the people would surely end this sen

' 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 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,

A BISHOP ON CREMATION.
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

LAWSUIT AUDL'T AX'KNT.
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. Schooly
against tha Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. It appear* that in Ilia fall of 1872
Mr. Schooly got aboard ana of the nccom
modfttior. tram# *t tho Union depot to go
to llraddock. 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.
Schooly handed the conductor thirty cnu,
hut positively refused lo pay tha other five.
The conductor stated that thirty cent*
would carry him only te the flrt" station
thi* *uie ol Braddock, and he would put
liimoffthare
When they arrived at tha station refer
red t th* conductor proceeded to eject
from thecar, when Schooly agreed
to pay five cent* to go to the next station—
Braddock. The conductor then stated that
the tare between theso two point* wa* six
cent*; that he paid only to the station ar
rived at; that if he had paid thirtr-fiva
cent* when tr,t usko-1 it would have been
all right, but that the schedule-fare be
tween th* point they had arived at and
llraddock was six cent*. Schooly rafused to
pay the extra cent, when ha wa* ejected
i'rom the car and had to walk to Brad
dock.
Ho thereu(Min instituted logal proceed
ings against the Railroad company for
damage* of ejecting him fron th* car, lay
ing them lit so,(M>. Tho cae ha* been
hanging flro ever since until yesterday,
when it came up far trial in the Common

PROF PROCTOR'S IDEA,
Jll hia last I act ur in tliia country Pref.
Praetor cave hit idea of the atuibulr. ol
Detty deduced from aMrouotny.
'V\ a curnn " Uo iti4, "to the conception
liiat there ia in tha universe, quite apart
from ail ideas of (Kid, infinita power. We
hare been !e<l then from the thought of In*

tloitft tim •cuti*! by •Ttnti, Mhd now to
the thought vf infirm# power, and y#t all
the*# idem* mrm utterly beyond our uuviri
of ceareplioa. Why. then, <iitn.ua tha '
idea ofa God meruly boeauaa lie ia beyond 1
our power* of ooaeaption ? The material
ol >■ right when he aaya thu or that doc 1
trine it inconceivable, but be ia wrai<| 1
when he aaya 1 will not admit it. tha idea
ofapare ia inuoncevieble, that wa tnuel ad
mit ; the idea of infinite power ia incon
ceivable ; but taking tbe view that infinite
apace and ii finile time are brought to our
knuwlrge, we aiuit admit tba idea of infi
nite power
iiy tben, atop abort of the idoa of in- i
finite wiailom and beneficence of tbe do- I
•if no! tba Creator merely because it ia in- i
conceivable ta us? It taenia to wie, than, I
we may fairly turn fram thu to tbe coiiaid
oratn li of the poaaible atlrlbutoa of Deity
without being diaturbed by Ilia thought
th.it the icry notion ol tbe Deity -of 1
ii.g infinite in esitlanca, infinite in apace, |
ti.Quite in time, infinite in (tower, it in
conceivable to ut. Why, thoae vary at
tribute* that have been aacrihnd to Ueity
are Ilia thing* we have been forced to tee
We began with infinity of apace, and it ia
infinity vf apace wa attribute to tba A!-!
mighty. W a are lad from that ta tha ia- j
fluity of lima; thence to an infinity ot pow
er ; and it ia by that wa are lad ta tba mare
physical centidrraiien of tba .pinltliet of
Iheunlverae Thu*, then, naturally we
may turn to tba thought of poaaible quail- j
tie* on the part oflhe llaity, and tbe way I
in which, in tome taaae, hi. authority may
be eierc.aed over the doiniuiona of tha uni
verse lake, far inalanca, tha taaaea by

tare el the univarae, and let u* remember
how ultarlypeable thoae tenant are , on how

da net uae the word tujeatl, tea at threugh
a giata darkly, becaute we have uaiy a
•mail portion of tba heaven* brought out
into view ; and it it ouly by combining the,
viawt thu* formed, combining them in the
iiuagmatian, that we can form an oalimala
of tha real wonder* which appear ; to wa
can imagine what might be aaen if the
power ol tba eye waa increaawd to that of
tha largaei laieacopa. and wa can concaiva
what would be aaen if tha power of tba
