Mai-key, the State Trea-urer ot Fcuu

that the Mate is practically tankrupt a

but one dollar and avtiy-*ii cent* of
valuable eaah in the Treasury. When
the character of the men aho have had
the handling of the State fund* for amo
years past is borne in mind, the people
of Pennsylvania may perhap* think
themselves luckev that even that trifling
-tun is left
The election of three Democratic t'ou
yresamen in Connect icut out of four give*
us still another Mate in the House of
Representatives in case, by the throw •
i;ig out of the votes of Southern State?,
the election should go into that body.
There are thirty-eight states in the I'n
ion. Twenty are uecenary for a choice,
a::d the Democrats have noa twenty
two. They will probably carry Califor
nia. which will have twenty-three. This
i> a comfortable margin that w ill cover
all chances of accident.
The treasury of this commonwealth is
just about bankrupt—so swears the re
publican state treasurer, R. \\. Markey.
* Only one dollar and three levies in the
money boa! Well that's rather thin,
or shallow, and our republican officials
must have been wading into the concern
* too often making a little stick to them
at every plunge, until now there i* le-s
than two dollar* left. Yes this is true,
for Mr. Maekey has made oath to the
alarming fact, and Pennsylvania will be
come a public charge, to be let out to the
bidder who will find her grub for the
lowest price. l>ur legislator* went home,
at least many of them, at the close of the
late session, without their pay—there
were no funds to cash them. Now this
should not be under good republican
rule. But it may be well, for the treas
ury being empty, stealing will have to
Mop for a little spell at least, and the
plunderers may have time to stop and
think over their past evil ways, and get
time to reform.
BISMARCK.
Concerning the wisdom of the penalty
which Bi&ruark inflicted on France for
letting slip the dugs of war against Prus
sia. history may have two opinions, tmt
it can hardly have more than one con
cerning the wisdom of the penalties
which IJi.-mark is inflicting on his own
iellow-citizeu* for *|>caking dnre|eel
fu'ly of hiiuself. According to our Ber
lin correspondent, during the short
month of February last, for example, no
less than ninety German citizens were
sentenced to a fine and imprisonment
for "speaking disrespectfully of Prince
Bismarck." to say nothing if wane two
hundred other case* under the same
laws, besides a host of domiciliary visits,
banishment*, summary arrests, suppres
sions of schools and clubs, prohibitions
of pnblic rueeting* and so forth. One
citizen, a journalist, inquired what
would be the j>en£lty for calling Bismarck
*a scamp," intending, probably, to per
petrate the offence if the penalty suited
him. The official answer was prompt
and explicit. The circumspect inquirer
was sentenced to imprisonment for two
months! Bismarck certainly i* ruling
with a rod of iron. Is he mad? Or
does he forget that fu this era playing
the tyrant is playing the fool and the
devil at the same time? Whatever may
be the explanation, his iron rule, if car
ried long at this pitch, will be apt to cud
In I loxl, a* it began. And here wc may
appropriately recall an incident which is
said to have marked its beginning. To
wards the close of 1870 Bismarck gave a
dinuer-|*arty, at which, a* was natural
and becoming, some of his guests com
plimented him upon the great he
bad won, assuring him that he would be
immortal as the first statesman of this
century. Bismarck, it is said, received
these congratulations with gravity, and
replied: "I am by no means certain of
"what you say; I have too long yet to
"live ; were I a* old as Moltke, now, I
"should have no fears ; be is so old tliat
"be must soon die. and it is not at all
"probable that in the short tiuie he has
"left to him he will make any blunder
"that will rob him of his fame. But I

that once knew tliem kn.w them no

It from some recent proceed

Such a roysteriug crew of treitelier-men
we have not read of siuix- the days of
Friar Tuck and the goodly fellowship of
Robin Hood. It seems that in the esti
mation of these Washington tons-pot*
they thought it only just that they aliould
lie parasite* in deed as well as in name.
Hence their consumption of creature
comforts was something enormous .lur
ing the jieriod of their wassail in tin
Federal city. .Tlic hall of legislation
was little more than an ante-chamls-r to
the restaurant. The only disagreeable
incident to so many fugitive pleasures of
the municipal palate is the fact that the
"horrors of dige*tion" have ronie to
these bibulous ami paunchy legislators
in the shape ofa vexations lawsuit, with
all the fminii'lrr* attendant on such an
exposure of Ring practices and Ring mor
alities under the dynasty of I toss Shep
herd and the immediate rye of President
Grant.
The legislative henchmen ofHhephcrd
unfortunately forgot in theliastcof their
involuntary adjournment o make the ft
retrrnn of their "Contingent Kipennrx
act" sufficienly comprehensive to em
brats; in the judgment of an official Au
thor's charity (covering as it does n mul
titude of sins) nil the dinners and lunches
and sandwiches and brandy-smashes
which in the short space of a few
weeks these faithful public epicures con
trived to hide away in the private aldo
men. So it conies to pass that at this
late day the official caterers of Boss
Shepherd's trusty lieges are now slicing
the Speaker of the late Legislative' A
ssembly, one Peter Campbell, for "the
little bill" which he neglected to settle
on public account, and which be finds
altogether too large for his private purse
since the suspension of contracts forcon
crete and wooden pavements at Wash
ington.

i. jtrancingly religious effect. Pausing be.

which rolled along alter one another, tifl,

When an American, a representative of
this young and rash Democracy, confronts
the venerable antiquity, the accumulated
beliefs and affections and sorrows, the vic
torious perseverance, the awful aulhorily
■ typified in tho old churches ot Europe, lie
experiencat a religious impression in the
feeling that although he and his are hut
. momentary vapors, these are things which
endure forever. Though ho arose but yes
terday. and dies to-morrow, there were
shadowy ages full of men before, and will
I be uiyst. noqs ages full af men after. 1
well remember with what vivid energy this
truth was taught me us I listened to a chant
of the monks 111 the Church of San Loron
*o at Florence. 1 leaned against n marble
pillar alone, and gave myself up to the
: sentiment of the place and the music.
Melodies, crashes of echo, slowly faded in
> the distant arches, and were lost in the
swallowing dome. Yonder choir are net
fleeting men, hereto-day, gone to-morrow.
Who sing transient strains of sadness and
exultation. They ere an everlasting
