In Ohio the lower house has passed ft

A similar proposition is Wforo the sen
ate of our own state.
Senator Wallace resigned his seat in
the state senate on Wednesday, and left
for Washington same day to take his

A barge with 5400 barrel* of sugar

A Pottsville lawyer named Grior has
been convicted of several charges of

In older to gain two more adua not ra
tion senators, congress proposes to adifiit
Colorado as a state. This territory lias
a population of 39,!W0, or about four
thousand more than Centre county. By
such baby-states and rotten borough
system, Grunt is struggling to keep his
eraft from going under, an evidence of
the gradual collapsing of radical tarn, and
the desperate means that are being re
sorted to in order to keep t on foot.
New Mexico is also to he admitted tor
the same purpose.
The Clearfield Republican, of last
week, also calls attention to the "fat"
manner in which Chas. Bergner prints
the yeas and nays in the legislative
Record—making a vote occupy over a
column, at a coat of about f 11. where the
space occupied need not be over three
inches as formerly. The work does not
only look lad, but it is an outrageous
steal, and will cost the state several
thousand dollars. The Reporter was
the first paper to call attention to this
swindle, and we trust other journals will
follow the example of the Clearfield
Republican in denouncing it. The elder
Bergner tleeced the state sufficiently to
answer all the wants of Charles, and we
protest against any increase of the "fat"
takes of the family. It is Bergnerism
and not one less than burglar
ism. The yeas and nays are called hun
dreds of times in a session, and this at
once shows where the pay comes in for
that style of printing them in the Re
cord.
The Bedford Inqirer has become in
dignant at the incessant desire of certain
school teachers of that county, to be fa
vored with- news-paper puffs. It gives
expression to its indignation in the fid
lowing forcible language:—
"This habit of 'Profeasor-ing' every
one-horse galute who by the aid of a
key has worried through compound frac
tions. and fortified with a fourth-class
certificate, sets up pretentions to school
teaching, is getting to be a bore, not on
ly upon the editor and typo, but every
body else, except the poor, thick pated
fool who. thinks by the aid of a few
newspaper puffs, he will be enabled in
the near future, to set the world on fire,
with his "larnin." We have s few of
this class of rooetars in Bedford County
—oar charge is SO cents a line for pnttin
the feathers on 'em."
Bills for the admission of Colorado
and New Mexico, as states, have passed.
These two territories taken together
have scarce the population of one of our
largest counties in this state, yet they
will have fonr senators at Washington—
as many as the great states of Pennsyl
vania and New York. But this must be
done so, else Grant could not keep a
majority in the Senate.
The Civil Rights bill as passed by the
House, was adopted by the Senate on
27th, without amendment. It applies
only to inns and service in the jury-box.
The Committee of Ways and Means
made a report in regard to the Pacific-
Mail subsidy, which accuses Mr. King of
perjury, and both Mr. King and Mr.
Schumaker of receiving money which
they were unable to account for.
A great deal has been said about the
enormous income received by the Na
tional Grange of the Patrons of Hits
bandry in Washington from subordinate
granges in all parts of the country, and
much curiosity has been expressed as to
the disposition made of the fund which
accumulates from the sale of "dispensa
tions'' and the contributions of dues,
which, it L estimated, must reach sev
eral hundred thousand dollars per year.
A correspondent, who is an officer of a
grange in Texas, sends ns some infor
mation on this subject which is explicit
and interesting to those u ho possess cu
riosity as to the doings of the Grangers.
Our correspondent says that the grange
of which he is a member sent the cus
tomary fee of ?15tothe National Grange,
and in return received one tin box with
brass lock and key ; a blank book for
the Secretary, and another for the-
Treasurer ; thirteen manuals and thir
teen song books; thirteen copies of the
Constitution of th< X?.tionplGr*ng n : me
Buitofregaliaforme.i,an'l on" ior to
men members, as patterns, together with
copies of the different blanks used in
the grange, all of which cost probably
16 or $7, which would reduce the amount |
from one subordinate grange in the
hands of the National Grange to $8 or
99, not counting the annual dues. When
the great overflow.omirred in Ixiuisiana
the National Grange distributed 920, nut
among Grangers there, and
our correspondent says that it has con
tributed- large sums tu the relief of
Grangers who have suffered from the
devastation caused by the gnushopjiers
in Kansas and Nebraska, while the lr.il
ance of its receipts lias been-invested in
United Sates interest-bearing bond* and
held as a fund from which to draw for
the assistance of distressed Grangers in
case of need. He adds that if all the
money "sent by his grange to the Nation
al Grange had entirely disappeared, he
would have considered it as a good in
vestment, on account oft he Kern-tit which
he and hhi associates hud derived from
the organization in many different

PEWSYL YAM A HA lI.HOAD
REPORT.
Below (■ furnish a hynn|>ix of the r •
port of a special cominittccc of stock
holders ofthe Pennsylvania H H. The
last paragraph aill lie especially Inter
eating to the readers of the Reporter, as
tour road is among those referred to that
are to la* completed :
In neeordatwe with the suggestion of
the sjwvial committee of st, kholdcrs
ap|>inted at the last meeting of the
Isvard of directors of the Pennsylvania
railroad, that cotn|Miiy will to-morrow
publish in adwmco for the information
of the stockholders the twenty -eighth
annnal report, which will be presented
at the annnal meeting of the company,
tube held on March f neat. The re
jwirt gives the operations ol the main
line, its branches and leased road* for
the year 1874, and makes very gratify
ing exhibit. The gross earnings of all
the line* east and west of Pittsburg dur
ing the year were Jb2,838,351.2b . ex|wn
sea, excluding rentals, interests, divi
dcmls. etc , , net earnings,
|23,N27,71kV87. The earnings of the
mailt line and its Pennsylvania branches
i w ere $?2,tt42,371 XV ; expenses, imlpdiug
rentals. |l2,7hl.olS.Stt; net earnings after
|>aying rentals, f8,3ffi,824.28, showing a
doorcase in the net earning of s4* ,778.-
140 a.* compared with the figure* of the
year previous.
The report also give- in detail the
operations of tile leased toads, the coal
companies ami other interest* controlled
by the company. It is noted that the
I'nited railroad* and canals of New Jer
sey show very gratifying results com
pared with those of IST J, they having
| met every liability under the lease ex-
I cept $31,161, while ill 1873 the net los
[ under lease was sfiS.\7S9.7t'. The report
jeaks of the general depression in the
i I nisi Ursa of the country during the whole
of the jmst year.
The result as show n upon the traffic
of the Hues has Ikvii a diminution iu
the tonuage of the main road of *1*1,372
1 tons, lieing a decrease of S S-lo jn-r cent,
jas compared with the trffile moved in
! 1873. and a consequent reduction in rvv
jenue. 1-argc reduction- have however
Iweu made in the expense of maintain
ing and operating the lines, thus cnal>-
ling the board to present results which
thev consider verv satisfactory.
The rej*>rt also speaks of the improve
ments made during the year, and says
that it is proposed by the boardtliatthe
entire floating debt of thecoutpany shall
be paid off during 1873, by disposing of
securities that are uo longer of value for
the purpose of controlling the roads by
which they were used. A tabular state
ment relative to the line west of Pitts
burg shows that the net result after [lay
ing all leases and other rentals, interests
ami liabilities of every kind, natural
working expense*, etc., is a surplus pro
fit of which sum is more
than seven per cent, on the entire i-apir
tal stock of the Pennsylvania company.
The report makes a mere reference to
the controversy going on relative to the
Baltimore and Ohio road, and say* that
it is hoped with a thorough understand
ing of everything pertaining to the ques
tion proper results may be arrived at.
The report concludes by saying that
the board has concluded to adopt, as a
general policy, that no further extension
of lines should be made or obligations
be assumed by the company, either by
lease or otherwise, except to complete
the several small branches and exten
sions now in progress in Pennsylvania
and New Jersey.
THE THIRD TERM IS CON
GRESS.
People who daily breathe the jnilitiral
atmosphere of Waaliington City, mythe
World, and people elsewhere who in
telligently read the signs of the times,
no longer speculate a* to whether Gen
eral Grant desires a third election to the
Presidency. That he desires to be re
elected ; that indeed he intends to I*- a
candidate for re-election, is now seen as
dearly as any object in the noonday sun
by Democrats and Republicans alike,
and by no man more clearly than by
Mr. Speaker Blaine, whose remarkable
fund of tact and shrewdness is steadily
directed upon the knotty problem of
making a political funeral fur General
Grant without sending the Republican
party to the grave along with him. That
he intends to have and to hold the chief
place of power in the Government at
least for four years after March 4. 1*77,
if the having and the holding of that
place can la- compassed by any means
at his command, his own acts are daily
placing beyond the doubt of uu-n whom
common sense teaches to believe that
motives lie behind decisive and persis
tent action. llehaslx-en piteously im
plored by leading men of the Republi
can party to disavow these dangerous
aspirations, but he lias remained sullenly
mute while the third-term seluuu-, like
a i-ilitica! car of Juggernaut, has gone
over them one after the other, from Dix
to Chandler. The people have placed
their seal of condemnation on Grant's
usurpations in Louisiana,and, lieing re
buked for reversing the Louisiana elec
tion of 1872,Jhe lias responded bv send
ing Sheridan to New Orleans to reverse
the election of 1*74. Tore-lax his hold
upon tho power whereon he has once
laid his hand is a thing which no ad
monition can teach him to do. With
bulldog tenacity he holds his grip upon
the throat of luisiana, as he aims to
hold it ujsui the throat of the American
Republic until lie shall finally lie choked
off. He has ojtenlv shown'hiscontempt
for the Republican party,'and has mer
cilessly snubbed the few men who have
evinced a desire to make the Republi
can ]irty something else than an ap
pendage to (irant. And yet in the pre
tended interests of that party lie de
mands that Congress shall make him
military dictator over the w hole coun
try, with n specially implied licence to
revolutionize the entire South to the end
th: ♦ the Republic-* nor -iv may be ,erpct
ufct-d in power. He htu not only <<-t
Sheridan to New Orleann for the purpose
of smothering the voice of the people of
Louisiana as it is uttered at the polls,
but he lias placed him in command of a
military district which includes the
State of Arkansas. Two weeks ago he
asked Congress to take the responsibili
ty for giving Sheridan work to do in
Arkansas and in other Southern States ;
and his Third-Term spokesmen in the
House of Representatives are now urg
ing Congress to take the responsibility,
as it is asked to do. More*than this, lie
lias very j.lainly intimated that unless
Congress takes strong and decided ac
tion to the contrary lie will at an parly
day set Sheridan at work in his third
term campaign. The pretext that there
is m-ed for fresh military interference at
the South is altogether too thin. The
President's Arkansas message is public
notification that the third-term cam
paign is fairly opened. Every Ri-pfibli
ean in Congress who has half the brains
sittii<Vlit to justify him in being there
knows what is meant by this Arkansas
message and the Mil proposed in accord
am* with it. The responsibility of ap
proving or condemning this thircL-tyyin
manifesto is adroitly but heavily ld |
upon t Ymgress The responsibility can
not Ik> shirked. What do, > the Rcptlh
lican majority in t'om-rc-* | iopo-e to do
alsitit It ?

Rl TIER CALLED .1 LIAR
Washington, February 2-T Soon after
t lie ojw'ning of th* session of the House
this morning there was a scene on tin
lloor between General Uutler ami Judge
Poland, followed by uti explosion, which
did not get reported in the Record or
tin newspapers, ltutlcr accused Poland
of bad faith iu calling up the Arkansas
resolution. Mr. Poland denied it. and
Uutler reiterated the charge iu his ven
omous way, when the venerable \ er
monter straightened himself, and lepli
txl, "If you say that, sir, von are a liar,
ami 1 can prove it, and I say it ~u my
responsibility."
Butler's reply is not iv|irted, but he
subsided, as usual when his enemies
face hint down.
THE THIRD TERM PLOT
A Washington correspondent of the
Pittsburg Post, |K>ints out a startling
programme by which the democratic
majority in the next congress is to be
destroy ed. The correspondent says:
The people at large do not seem to
fully understand the object of the South
ern Political hill. As Messrs. Garfield
and Blaine said, it aas intended to aid
the Thiol Term project, hut they lxth
stopped short of exposing the revolution
ary character of that scheme. 1 have
from a reliable source, the precise ob
jects of that scheme and the way it is to
be carried out. The main object of the
bill in to overthrow all the Southern re
constructed State governments, under
the plea that reconstruction i* a failure,
and must be done over again.
This at once secures the Radicals a
majority in the next House, a* the over
turning of the State government* would
destroy the election for Congressmen
last fall, and elections being held under
the new State government* w>uhl return
a solid Third Term delegation to Con
gress, overriding the Itemorratic majori
ty from the Northern States, and make
tirant's progress to a Third Term easy.
Ten State governments are to W over
thrown under the programme,unseating
sixty-one members of Conger*#, forty
four of whom are I •emocrat#, namely,
Alabama, li; Arkansas, 3; Georgia, S>;
Isiuisiana, 3; North Carolina, 7; South
Carolina, 1; Texas, *; Virginia, H. As a
matter of course not a single Democrat
could lc returned under the military
elections to IH* held in these States, and
the transfer of the forty-four unseated
1 lemocrats to the Radical side would
give Grant a working majority in the
next House,
As startling and incredible as this may
seem, it is a scheme that is l*-iug vigor
ously pushed by the Administration,!
and the whip and spur of the caucus arc
being used without mercy to bring the
Republicans to its support. Clothe Grant
with the power to suspend the writ of
habeas corpus and he will unseat enough
Democrats to change the majority in the
next House, a project that is being free
ly discussed even in the White House.;
Grant himself being in the plot, advised
by Butler. Attorney General Williams
and Senator Morton.
la-t the American people carefully
read the utterances of the Administra
tion press, and they will find thisscheiiic
advocated, with scarcely the pretence of
disguise or concealment.

COMPANY WITH THE HAH
ICALS.
Washington, kb Jtfi.- tip.- de
bate on tin.- bayonet bill to tin.- House'
late to-night, Gen. Joseph R. Hariey of
Connecticut said that he had been all his
life a radical in politics, hut the time had
come when he had seriously to consider l
whether he could go on with his radical
associates. He did not like to part com
pany with them, but lie bad to doit. He
could not agree to put any further or
greater power in the hands of the Presi
dent.
Iu another column we publish the;
new Tariff Bill as it pasM-d both houses
of Congress. This hill is intended to
raise 940,0W,0Q0 more revenue, as the
administration is spending so much that
it can not make ends meet. This does
not |<>k encouraging at all for the tax
payer and consuming classes. Kconoinv
was promised by the radicals, a rcdtic-'
tiou of expenditures was to take place,
hut instead we have waste and extrava
gance to an extent that makes it neces
sary to wjin esc 40 million additional out
of the toiling mas-e-hv this little tariff
hill.
The last straw In- • - n laid on tin
hack of public i.- by the p -
oftiic lnw. inxbili, It adds thirty-live
millions of dollars to the burdens of the
jieople and carries the country back
again to war rates. The bill differs from
the original in making the whisky tux
i#o cents instead of a dollar per gallon,
and giving the whole benefit of the ad
vance to the ladders of stock in hand,
which is not taxed. The stamp-tax on
matches is not r<;.<- .. d, and the pres
ent duties on imported li.pairs are not
increased. There are other changes of
less importance, for which w c refer read
ers to the printed bill on another page.
There is hardly a doubt of the concur
rence of the senate.
'flip Jr'oru- I - ,ill . Grant's third term
bill, by whim states are to
be put under the President - iiiufob for
next election, has passed the House by
21 majority. But the end of the session
being so near at hand, the democrats
can talk it to death in the senate, and
t';ps defeat this lmld, bad scheme, toen-.
able Grant b} elect himself for a third
term.
The Force bill, as so often already e*

MAJOR I*OWBILL'S WONDERFUL
VOTAGI
The following paragraph* from Scrib
• ner for March describe the feeling* of the
Powell party, after completing their voy
ago through the Grand Canon of the Colo
rado, one of the strangest and bravest ex
ploit* of American explorer*:
At night we camped on the left Wank in
a nic-<ju!te thicket. The sense of relief

almost noßbd.v speaks English.

over at nicely a* a New- York sidewalk
with large blocks of lava that, when it
p ured 4>ul of tbu crater of Vesuvius, was
soft aJ mud and hotter than the red iron
front n blacksmith'* forgo. Then this
pavement ia generally quite clean, and,
since the high buildings keep the street
shady, and tbe sidewalks are not much
wider than a plank, the people walk in the
middle of the streets, w hicb gives it a live
ly appearance. The balconies and roof*

many of the crowd go along ; all are quiet.
Perhaps it is a funeral proc**ion with the
bier ; then the people remove their hats -
a beautiful custom—and make a sign of

to tho "Duomo," or Cathedral, to see the'
MS r.hip. Tho Cathedral uf Xapla* was
to gun in tho yoar I'JT'J, or six hundred !'
year* ago. At the sides, as we enter, there
uro little rooms, something like large,
dark bay windows, without any window.
These are called "chapols." In one we
may sec a marriage ceremony ; in unoth

CHRISTIANITY AND SCIENCE
In tho current discussions of tho rela
tions of Christianity to science, there is one
' fait that seems lo have dropped out of no
tice j yet it is full of meaning, and deserves,
for Christianity's sake, to he raised and
kept before tho public. Who, or what,
ha- rai*cd -eienoe to it* proton t command
ing position? What influence is it that
has trained the investigator, educated the
people, and made it possible for tho peo-l
pie to comprehend him Who built
Harvard College ' What motives form!
the very found* lion-stone* of Yale? To!
tvhom, and to xyhnf, arc the greet institu|
tions of learning, scattered ell over this
country, ind hted for tfielr existence .
Thrr< i hardly one of these that did noil
hi.VII it* birth in, and bus not bud its
growth from, Christianity. The founder*
of till these institution*, moro particularly
those of groutert influence and largest fa*
cilitics, wero Christian men, who worked
•imply iu the interest of their Muster,
The special ruiontiflc tohools that have
boon grafted upon these institutions are
children of the same parents, reared and
endowed for the same work. Christianity
is the undoubted and indisputable mother
of the scientific culture of the country,
lint for her, our colleges would never have
been built—our common school, would
never have been instituted. Wherever
free Christianity has gone, it has carried
with it education and culture.
. The public, or a considerable portion oi!
l it, seems to forget this, or has, come to|
regard Christianity as opposed to science
in its nuturo and aims. It is almost re
garded, by many m'nds, as the friend of
Jprkpces, us the opponent of free inquiry
and the enslaver of thought. Tho very
men who have been reared by her in some
instances turn against her, disowning their
mother and denying the sources of their
attainments, and to-day she lias herself ul
imii-t forgotten th it it is her hand that has
reared all the temples of learning, framed
thejeducational policy f the nation, and,
with wide sacrifice nt treasure, reared tin
very men who are now defaming her.—7>r.
