Rill Brown having read every body out ot the radical party, like Alexander is now crying because tbere are no more left to read out. Be consoled, neigh bor, there is another subject left for you, read out the man in the tuoon, then go and hang yourself. ■ When the school-book bill cams up in the senate the other day, Scuator Wallace had it amendended so that the commission iustead of being wholy par tisan, sectarian and corrupt, the Gov ernor is required to appoiut an eveu number of democrats aud republicans, and the State Superintendent, all of whom must agree. Aud the books adopted are to be of the same site and quality and to cost fifty per csut. less than the people are uow paying for them. Should the bill pass the House and become a law, groat benefits will result to the people, in the cost of books alone. A love-sick and disappoiuttsl girl in Philadelphia, poisoned herself the other day by eating a box of matches. So matches killed whilst a match would have kept her alive. Queer. New Party Movement. Recent movements in the west show that a new party is brewing. Again we have evidence in a Chicago des patch of 6 inst., which says the Advis ory Committee appointed by the last meeting of the Illinois State Farmers' Aisociation to consider the subject of formiog an independent political par ty held a meeting at Bloomington, on sth, at which delegates from fif ty-two of the 102 counties in the state were present. The proposition to or ganize an independent party was al most unanimously indorsed, and after a long discussion it was decided to issue a call for a State Convrntiou t6 promulgate a platform aud nominate State officers. The Convention is call ed to meet at Springfield on Wednes day, the 10th of June Delegates ars to be chosen in the proportion of one to every 5,000 voters, and all the in dustrial classes and organizations are invited to join in the movement. A resolution was offered in the con vention censuring President Grant for signing the Increase of Salary bill, and for bis veto of the Currency bill, but it was voted down by a large majori ty- Democratic State Nominations. We are among those who believe it better to be defeated with good candi dates than successful with bad ones. While bad men remain in office they are a reproach, and they are an appro brium afterward. 11l success on the contrary in a good undertaking is no f resent dishonor nor future discredit, t behooves the democracy to remem ber these things at this time. The next democratic convention will have the final determination of two impor tant matters : first, undec the new Constitutional provision, who shall be one of the two judges of the Supreme Court; next, the moral attitude of the party, as detei mined by its candi dates, on the questions that now shake the very foundations of government. Let the people therefore proceed with caution and due deliberation to select the delegates to the State convention which has the determination of these grave matters.— Harritburg Patriot. The above from the democratic or gan at the state capital expresses the sentiments of the REPORTER, often heretofore declared in our columns, although it was met with a sneer in quarters where honesty is only talked of but never practiced. Every hon est democrat will call it sound senti ment. Dieffenbach' spajier the Blooms burg Columbian .comments as follows on this matter: "If the party will act upou the suggestions made, it will be but a brief period until it will com mand an overwhelming majority of the voters of the state. The people have lost all confidence in the general ity of politicians and office seekers, j and are heartily sick of them. Let'a party rise above the slough in which all political bodies were buried during the excitements and immoralities of the war and nominate none but men of established integrity and ability for office, men who will be faithful to the best interest of the people in office, and labor with ability to promote the true interests of the public, and the party doing so will crush every thing before it. But if the alternate success of parties is to result only iu changing of one set of pilferers and incompetents for another, then, indeed is our coun try in a fearful state of demoraliza tion and on the broadest possible road to destruction." Let convention managers take heed! If incompetent or worthless, or any class of inferior nominations are made, the contest will thereby be surrendered and the election will pass off listlessly and as a mere matter of form. The masses and the local or ganizations will not struggle for the success of such. Defeat will be sure. In 1872 the Democratic covention of this state set a good example and its nominations would have been success ful but for the blunderiug and disgust ing management of the Presidential question—counting only legal votes it was probably successful. Let the Democracy at least repeat the experi ment." "We do not hesitate to endorse the sentiment of the Patriot that except proper candidates success is not desirable. To succeed with others Would only disgrace and injure the party. To he successful and retaiul its results the democracy must show the country that it can and will gov ern much better in all re*|rcct* and at very materially less cost to the tax payers than its opponents. Unless it can do this it is no concern what par ty controls the reins of government.' "We therefore say to the coining convention, take heed—nominate the vet v be-t nu-n of your party as candi dates, or your action will be in vain.' France, from all appoaraucee, is gathering for another war with tier many, and the latter power i.- pre paring for the inevitable stiuggle. The sores of the late conflict oetweeu these two great powers have not heal od—France caunot, and will not, for get her deep humiliation, and will at tempt to retrieve Iter lost honor. - ♦ If there is an abler aud more iude pendent daily paj>er published just now than the New York Tribune, we do dot know of such a one. It is see* ond to no journal in this country or Kurope for solid iufuruiation in poli tics, arts, sctenoa and religion, a well | as the important news of the day. It has freed itself from the ahackel* of party, and advocates that which it thiuks right, be it republican or demo cratic, and speaks itsopiuious with an independence that should be imitate I bv the public press geuerally. Of all the exchanges that come to the RE PORTER, wo prise the Tribune the highest. lu the*house, on Monday, the local option bill was brought up, and after an hour ui wrangling, it was defeated for want of constitutional majority— aves od, nave 29. This suds liis mat ter for this sessiou, The balance of the session wras speut on bills on first I reading. The school text bill was lost by a I vota of tiS to 20, lireoks' and Ranter's attorneys, act ing for each, have arranged a compro mise at Washington, which will end the Arkansas struggle, providing the principal* are willing. Its terms are the suDtuisaiou of the question as to who is Governor of the state to the each claimant to issue a call convening that body. Mr. Crittenden, the member from Misaouri made a point upon Mr. Kel ley w hen be offered as an amendment to the Ceutenuial bill, a provision de claring general aiuaeity on the Fourth of July, 1876. If there is to be a jus bilee in 1876, the Southern member* want it to be one for the whole coun try, and not for a section. They wauteverr man to be relieved of hi* legal and political disabilities, no matter wliat his position may have been in the Southern Confedracy. They believe that at the Centennial tb* most elaborate speeches will be made with reference to the emancipa tion of the negro ;to that conueclion they want something to be said on the subject of geueral amnesty. This Mr. Kelly refused to accept, and the result was that the Southern msmbers voted against the bill. The only prospect of securing the passage of tus bill now seems to be to admit amendments de claring general amnesty, aud restoring pensions to the solders of the war of 1812 who reside in the Southern states. Grant's friends are on a new tack, says the Pittsburg Poet, with regard to Sumner. Neither the President nor Mr. Fish are able to answer the accusations made against them as to Senator Sumner's shameful treatment at their hands, and now have recourse to tbraatenings. A special telegram to the Telegraph of this city givesone an idea of these new tacties. It is asserted that Mr. Sumner's mind, in his last days, was undoubtedly disor dered, and bis differences with the Administration grew to be a disease, until be imagined he had been terribly wronged, when the truth was both the President and Secretary Fish thought kindly of him until he attacked their motives and endeavored to clog ihe diplomatic wheel of the government, by obstructing legislation in the Sen ate. They then considered it necessary to displace him. The threat winds up with the assertion that "the evidence to sustain the action of the Adminis tration in reference to Mr. Sumner is overwhelmingly convincing, and will produce confusion among thoee who. litre Senator Schurz, have committed themselves against the Administration without knowing the truth, or if they do, conceal it." This, however, is a verv thin dodge. Grant and Fish will hardly be able to convince the country that Mr. Sumner was crazy. A large Anti-secret Society meet ing was held lately at York Springs, in Adams county, which created quite a sensation throughout that communi ty. Rev. J. M. Bishop, of Chambers burg, addressed the meeting for two hours and forty minutes. He is a minister of the United Brethren Church. The Savings Bank at New Milford, Pa , was entered, and the safe blown open, ou the morning of Wednesday, April 22d. James Aitken, who was in the building at the time, was bound to a chair, while the burglfcrt did their work. They blew off the outer door, but failed to break open the in ner one. They were very bold in their operations, but failed to secure any booty. An appeal to the people of the Uni ted States, signed by the roost promi nent citizens of the inundated district of the Southwest. These gentlemen state that 142,000 persons are suffer ing in consequence of the flood, and estimate that it will require 840,000 daily to relieve their necessities. Such widespread destitution never prevail ed before on this continent, and re calls the worst famines of India and Persia. In the meantime we are glad to note that the relief subscriptions in the great cities continue to pour iu, those in Philadelphia now amounting to more than $16,000. The Carlists under Don Alphoose have been again defeated by the Re publicans with heavy loss. Bilboa has been revictu&lled, and General Concba's command remains in the ci ty for the present. The House of Representatives re committed the Centennial Appropria tion bill to the Special Centennial Committee, and concurred in the Sen ate amendments to the bill for the re lief of the sufferers by the Mississippi overflow. At the city election in Hannibal, Me., on Tuesday, Mh, the question of liquor or no liquor was submitted to the people as an independent proposition. No license was carried two to one. A novel feature of the contest was that many ladies on both sides of the question remained at the polls all day, and electioneered with great vigor and earnestness. A HINT TO CAN Din ATI X Tlio editor of llu* Mimphit .4//>eo/ is* tired of this soil of thing, *! says: "It costs the proprietor* of tho A/>• pmi three hundred dollar* u day to )>obli.<>h llto paper, and we cannot *e now aspirauts lor otlicc con expect, at our expense, to use our column* to nid them in getting mi office worth ten, fifteen or tweuty thousand dollars jver annum.

The prctui ha too long been 'hewers of wood and drawete of water' for politi cal aspirants socking high position. Kdilors have too long been the ladder to be kicked over by men who have secured offices which enriched them. Candidates in search of cilices of hon or or profit can find access to our col umns ; hut their übiquitous friend, 'Many Voters,' cannot herald their greatness or extol their merits and many virtues at our expense." The tvmplaiiits of that infiueutial journal are entirely just. Its refer once to the ladder being kicked away after elect iocs is, alas, 100 often true. We have had seme experience of that sort ourself. Were it necessary at this time, we might uarue instances, where before elections we labored for and extolled candidates even higher, per haps, then their merits deserved ; vet. after their success, when they had priuting or other patrouage to dis pense, it was given to others, aye, and sometime* even to Republicans in preference! This, too, when there was no personal unfriendliness what ever between theiu aud us. We hold it to be the bouuden duty of every politician, if not every citt ien, but, more especially every office bolder, to stand by aud at all times support bis pattv orgau.— Lcwiebun pemoerat. lu our own experience the candi date for whose election we have given our service*, as a general thing, seem ed to appreciate what we did by [lay ing us our bills which we considered fair ; in a few instances we have come across candidate*, who, after the elec tion, shewed strong 3 ceuljpreclivilies, while we have had two or three cases, in which candidates, for whom we wrote aud printed articles from week to week, during an eutire campaign aud their election tickets fer one half the county, who had the cheek to hint that they thought we should do it all for noth iog. THE COPARTNERSHIP ACT. Among the numerous meritorious bills introduced in the legislature, says the Clearfield Republican, this cession by Mr. Wallace, we deeru none more so than tho bill entitled : "An act authorizing the formation of part nership associations iu which the capi tal and subsidies shall alone be re sponsible for the debts of the associa lion, except under certain circum stances." The bill contemplates the forma tion of firms upon the Eugli-h limi ted liability piao, aud its advocates claim that it will enable capitalists to admit their employees to a share of the profits of their business, based up on the auiouut of capita! they are able to subscribe, without involving the risk of their ruiu in case of failure. It is also said that its provision.* will invite capital to Pennsylvania from abroad. We notice that a large num ber of leading manufacturers through out the State are advocating the jas sage of this measure. The friends of tho bill claim that a law of this kind will attract more capital to our State than any other measure that could be devised, and that it will open a large field for skilled and ordinary labor ers at remunerative wages. As the law now stands, men of small means are really deterred from forming asso ciations of this kind, because in the event of a failure they are usually the first to be rendered bankrupt, while the millionaire, in a great measure, shifts the responsibility upon some one else's shoulders, from the fact that there is no general laic* on our statute books regulating associations of the character indicated. We have "wa gon loads" of special lairs upon the subject, which require more time to look up and read than it docs an ar lizan to lcain his trade or calling. A PRACTICAL TEMPERANCE REFORM. At the last meeting of the Rritish Association for the Advancement of Science Mr. I). Carnegie read a paper on the licensing laws of Sweden and the Gothenburg public house system. In Gothenburg, a town of 60,000 in habitants, the public-houses had for the last aeven years been conducted on an entirely new principle and with such success that a bill called the Spirituous Liquors (Scotland) bill, founded on that principle was intro duced in the last session of Parlia ment, and would no doubt be renew ed next year. In 1830, 173,000 stills deluged Swedeu with a quantity of spirits calculated at leu gallons per head. The consequences were fearful, resulting at last in a reaction which at length induced the Diet of 18. r >4 to pass the present licensing laws, the principal features of which were that all small stills were abolished, and an excise duty imposed of Is. 6}d. j*r gallon. The local authority had the power of fixing the number of licenses in each district, which were periodical ly sold by auction, und the amount realized was paid to the local treasu ry, fo the relief of the rates. The ef fect was that in the rural districts, comprising seven-eighths of the whole population, a nmst remarkable reform was effected in the driuking habits of the Swedes, the number of licenses be ing reduced on an average to 1 in 6,- 000 of the rural population, while in many districts licenses were altogether prohibited. This had concentrated the trade iu the towus, where, al though some improvement was effect ed, the consumption and trade still continued on a very large scale. A committee appointed in 1864 by the inhabitants of Gothenburg reported that in order to extend the reform to the towns it was necessary to reorgan ize the liquor traffic on un entirely new principle, viz, no individual, either as proprietor or manager, un der a public-house license, should de rive any private gaiu from the sale of spirits, thus abolishing all temptations unduly to extend the consumption. This principle was immediately car ried out by an association of seme of the most respected members of the community, who formed a limited liability company to take over ull the public-house licenses, to conduct the business solely in the interest of so briety and morality, and to pay over the whole profits to the town treasury. The results had been that the police cases of drunkenness, which in 1864 were 6.10 per cent., decreased to 2.62 per cent, in 1870. The last two yeara ahowcil nit incrttst up In '2. 7'J per eetil., cuuseii I*y n prcat increnau ol wiigm ntnl n precliee ol whnl waieell oil "aattiiiij;.' or four or live men vluli bttxyr together to liny the initiituum quantity ofapiriu allowetl to he aohi at the grocer*' ir rctnil ahopa, where •fiirite wereaold uut to bo ilrutik on (lie picmisc., the licenaca of wliit-h wore *oh! by nuctioii to private per Mot.*, ami where the price • waa little more thitu hull' the price* clung ■) in the public huii.e. Tbe grent In-iirtii. of tlie elimination of private profit ain I reduction ol lit*enc* from (lie liquor trade was now *o rrc.'gliwed in Swe den that a law was pa.ed tin* year to enable the above named grocer*' li cense* to he held hv the *nme associa tion* which now hold the public hotisc licenses, thus giving tlieui the complete control of tlie spirit trade. From thia it was folly expectad that the percentage of drunkcune*:, nl ready reduced bv more than OIK: half in Gotheuhurg, would soon show u tuucb greater aiininutioti. The alter at ion of the law originated in a move merit among the working clasaea of Gothenburg, who pressed upon the city's representatives the necessity ol urging the Diet in Stockholm to adopt it. The good altrady effected wa* amply nttt-aicd by the teatiinony ofall the authorities in Gotheuhurg, must cipal and clerical. Thctiuaucial re-i suits were very important, a* on tbeiu must depend the practicability cf the scheme. Last year the profit banded over to the town treasury wa* LU.- •>7f ; besides w Inch the town sold to private persous twenty-five retail li censes for one years for .£7,400. The number of gallons of spirits sold by the Company was neatly three frer had, suppoaed to be exceeded by the sales of the retail sho|t. This was a fearfully large amount, but a large proportion was supplied to the coun try population, of which 170,000 in that province had only ten licensed houses. The coustiiuptian of spirits for all Sweden rather exceeded two gallons jier head. That of Scotland was about two gallons. Tbe Compa ny carried on its largo business with out any paid-up capital ; an advance was obtaiud from a bank, and lh hal auce of interest had never exceeded £3o at the cud of the year. The Gothenburg system bad been com pletely and partially tried in two thirds of the Swedish towns, ami was extending to Norway. ♦ • MORE OF IT. Further investigation iuto the con dition of the Freemnan's Saving Hank and its branches, shows that it is in even a worse condition than was at first supposed. The total liabilities are giveu at so,ooß,BtH> and its net re sources at $3,121,008, a deficiency to begin with of $217,880. The loans on Washington real estate, doubly valued, amount to $1,473,220, and on persona! ucurities mostly worthies* $335,100. Tbe resources ukcu a* a whole will not {>ay 50 cents on the dollar, so that the depositors will uu questionably lose half their deposit*, l hese $2,000,000 of worthless loans have nearly all been made to the mem bers of the Washington Ring, amHlie loudmouthed advocates of Civil Rights. A more systematic plan for plucking the poor colored man while pretending to advocate his interests could not have been iuvented.

A most disgraceful scene look place in the House, at IJarrUburg, on Fri day, iu which Speaker McCormic and Representative Ramcy were tbe ac tive participant*. It culminated in tbe threat of the S|>eaker to send for the Sargent at-arms to remove the in dignant and otfensive Ranter, but the friends of the latter gentleman, nota bly Mr. Wolfe, showed such a deter initiation to resist physical force that the Speaker weakly dadsted. The l atriot say#: "The proceedings in the House, as the session approaches its close, are marked by the most ran paut disorder and disregard of rules. The Speaker pronounce* this or that measure carried or defeated as suits bis whim, remonstrance is lost iu up roar, audible sjicech is impossible, and only the final vote bv yeas and nays gives the single opportunity for a word which is at once discussion and deciasion."

How different in as pect to those who are ready and wait ing for his call, from the dread his presence brings to the heart of the unprepared. An old Scotch minister lay sorely ill, aud a neighbor calling upon him said : "Do you really think you are 'lying dear sir"?'' Looking up calmly, he said : "Really, friend, I am not auxiout whether I am or not ; for if I die I shall be with God, if I live he will be with me." When the great historian Gibbon was drawing near fho close of his life, he was asked how tho world appeared to hira. Said the dying skeptic: "All things are fleeting. When 1 look back I see they have been. When I look forward all is dark and doubtful." THE PEN AND THE SWORD. The following is an exact copy of a letter to the Commissioner ef Pensions.

We think that probably enough I people have asked us that question, or one of similar import, and that manner, to form a moderate sized convention, but we wdl cheerfully engage to keep for life in victuals and clothes the number who, so asking it, got it answered. In fart, as a rule, it is none of the inquirer's business, and we never reveal the name of one who gives us information, tn the mest courteous inquiry, until we find that he willfully be trayed the trust wo repoied in him and deceived us into stating an untruth. But to the blustering, insolent demand for re traction, furnishing the name of tho author, accompanied by threat* of legal preceod ings or personal violence we have no other answer than a counter demand for the speediest practicable departure of tho an gry interviewer from our office Wo say tins less with a view to any recent occur rence, than bv way of preventing such oc currences in future. Tea courteous inqui ry we are ever ready te make a courteous response, and are equally ready to cor rect any mistake we have made, or, so far as possible, right any wrong we may do, and we think in this rospect we do not greatly differ frepi others, hence we oncp more advise tliuse who desire corrections to bt mnde in any respectable newspaper : Don't assume that the errors are purpose lv made, state yeur griovance like a gen tleman, and don't make an attempt to play the bully. ♦ • 11$BY POJSONB.
