commends that every Sheriff I author

General should "be authorized oa his
own information, to indict an officer or
citizen who failed to perform hi- duty,'
which is rathera vague reconnueudation
and if carried into effect might result un
pleasantly for the Governor himself. It
is a matter of notoriety in the Schuyl
kill mining district that the Molly
Maguires consider themselve-under the
special protection of the Republi .111 j ar
ty. and a well-informed com -; id. at
says it would be almost imp -.-d ie to
find one of them who would n ? give hi
last shirt for Gov. Hartnuift. Judge
Pershing was especially obnoxious t
these murderous ruffians; theref- re it.
the last election their entire vote wa#
cast for Hartranft, and it was not uim.-ai
to hear them say that as he had alwav -
befriended them they were 1 n;.l t
support him at the polls. Fr m the tiuic
of the late Gov. Geary, who pardoned a
noted member of the Molly Maguircs,
who bad been convicted of killing an
aged man and wife at Locust Gag. until
now, leniency extended to these lawle—
men for political ends has been a public
scandal, and w ill in a great measure ac

THE LEGISLATIVE REVO EE
FRA CD.
We are receiving the Legislative Rec
ord, as usual, behind time, and several
numbers folded together where the law
requests that they be mailed daily, and
each number with the proceedings of
the day before. Insteadof this, the Rec
ord is often weeks behind and comes in
bunches, thus making it of little or no ac
count to the public and the press- desir
ous to know what proceeding- are actu
ally had in the senate and house at the
earliest possible moment. The Record
thus is a fraud, and the Legislature
should not tolerate such an imposition,
but make Mr. Bergner come up to tint*,
as he is well paid for it. Besides we see
the list of "yeas" and "nays" strong out
in what printers call "fat matter" thus
occupying hundreds of pages, at sl2 to
|ls per page, where in solid matter a few
pages would suffice. This is a downright
piece of plunder, and some member
could do the public good service by call
ing attention to this robbery on the part
of the printer at Harrisburg, and save
several thousand dollars j>er session
which now go i nto C. 11. Bergner'# |>ocket
Will Senator Boyer or representative
Shugert and Alexander see to it?
CHIC A GO "CROOKED" WHISK V.
Internal Revenue Supervisor Tutton,
Philadelphia, city, has received instruc
tions from Secretary Bristow to proceed
at once to Chicago to superintend the
trials arising from the seizure# of distil
leries, etc., made by him in that city in
May last. These trials commenced on
Tuesday last. They involve the forfei
ture of a large amount of property and
the trial of over thirty persons who have
already been indicted. The indication#
are that most of these parties will plead
guilty and permit the forfeiture of their
property by default, but the Secretary
directs the Supervisor to be prepared
with the evidence for the prosecution of
each person indicted, as no promise or
understanding has been, or will be made
looking to a compromise of any of the
cases. They are to be prosecuted vigor
ously.
COXGRESS.
The democrats are determined on re
trenchment, on 5, Mr. Holman, who is
second on the Committee on Appropria
tions of the House, that, after a careful
examination of all the estimates now be
fore the committee, it is manifest that
the expenses of the Government for the
next fiscal year can be reduced at least
?43,Q00,000. He proposes in the items of
river and harbor and public buildings
alone to cut down the estimates <*)*>,-
000. In the estimates for the Post-office
Department a heavy reduction is also to
be made, chiefly in the items of Postmas
ters' salaries and the free delivery of let
ters. The law now provides that in all
cities of 30,000 inhabitants there shall
be free delivery. It is projrosed to limit
the free-delivery system to cities of not
less thn 80,000 inhabitants. The next
heavy reduction is to be made in the
estimates for the army. It is probable
that the committee will recommend a
reduction of the army to 15,000 men, with
corresponding reductions in the staff and
general officers. The estimates for |the
Indian Bureau will also be largely re
duced.
It is believed in tlie best informed cir

Mr. Burcharvi's plan is to require banks

for the redemption <>t its circulation, an
il the amount ©f this reserve is equal

Washington, January 11.—The utn

Hill, of Georgia, who replied to Mr.
Blaine. Very close attention was given
the galleries being densely crowded.
The debate will continuo most of the
day. Opinion is divided whether
Blaine's amendment will pass or not hut
the Republicans say they will be satis
tied if they ran place the Democrats on
record against excluding Jeff Davis from
the amnesty bill. The Southeren mem
ber- are greatly aroused over the course
the amnesty debate has taken, und many
of them assert openly and boldly that
they will vote against the Centennial ap
propriation because of thecourse pursu
ed by Mr. Blaine. The Republicans ■
who favor the appropriation charge Mr.
Randall with being responsible for the
defeat of the appropriation if it is defeat
ed. lie was appealed to not to press the
action of the amnesty measure until the
Centennial hill had been acted upon, but
this he positively refused to do, believ

that we predicted it would ull be a hum

the above -ham is another uiorc of the

Now go r.ght ahead, and do not say that

and we cauliou against the advice of

cause of delay and the ahm -t fatal no,
was the stockholders-mortgage bill in the
Legislature a few years ag" : a pretended
friendly measure too, that threw u- back

into the panic times which caused oj*ra-

self on the fl >or of the House, and all by
the grace and magnanimity of the Repub

the action of the Republican majority with
reference to amnesty, saying that it offered,

a very considerable number of gentlemen

relieved from disability ; but since Msy
27,1*72. in no single instance have disabil

his respectful petition to Congress thul
they should be removed. Mr. Hlalne said
the whole number now under disability is
only about 750. and ho saw no rasson why
amnesty should not he granted to tbem,
us it had been to many- of tbo same class,
lie continued :
A Preliminary to Amnesty

in the abcnce!of tliut re-poctful Ibrntof pe
