ed a petition signed by a large numlx r
ofladies. asking that a government K
established in the Ifiatri. t of Columbia
which would confer upon women the
right to vote. Mr *argent said the peti
tion was signed by many eminent ladies
and they set forth their request in - :.-h
language as should reach the .ar of the
Senate. He asked that the petition be
read by the Secretary. After it had been
read, Mr. Sargent said he had n j doubt
that thia great movement of women suff
rage would prevail. It was making pro
gress day by day. He referred to
anffrage in Wyoming Territory and said
it was indorsed there by the judiciary,
by the press, and by the people general
ly. He knew ->f no better place to make
this experiment than the capital • f the
nation and therefore, asked that the
petition be referred to the Committee
on the District of Columbia, to be con
sidered in connection with any hill to
provide a government for the District.
RETJtI'XC nSt EST.
Grant's office-holders are becoming
very much alarmed at the move made
by the democrats in congress to cut
down the salaries, in civil and military
service. These ftlhwa havel-en grow
ing rich and fat off of the people and
have rendered no equivalent for the piles
of money they have drawn from tin
public treasury. Why should an army
of loafers be.thus led and made to thriv*
at the expense of the toiling millions of
republicans and democrats, in timca tc>< >
of the country's greatest depression and
when the greatest economy is needed ?
Every honest man, no matter what his
politics, will say Amen to the efforts now
making by the democrats in congre.-s to
save the people's money. Administra
tion organs tnat live by big .. lvcrtising
jobs, and officeholders who draw prince
ly salaries, will how! at congress for en
deavoring to take the superabundance
of fodder out of their rack -, and will get
up all sorts of false charge - against con
gress i* order to direct public attention
from the real work of lopping off expen
ditures, in which it is engaged ; but the
people will be able to see into it all, by
the cloven foot that is worn by the plun
derers of the people. Let the democrats
be heedless of the cry, and go forward
in the good work, and they w ill be true
to their promise of reform and w ill not
fail to have the endorsement of their
own party as well as that of all honest
republicans.
A RAILROAD 11ADLY IS DEBT.
The railroad of our neighbors across
the mountains south oftliis valley is not
out of the mire of debt. A meeting of
the bondholders of the Uewi-town and
Sunbury Railroad was held a few days
ago, iu Philadelphia, for the purpose ofl
devising some means for extricating the
company from the debt they were forced ,
to carry. It was unanimously resolved i
that unless disposed of by private sale
on or l>efore March 1, 1 -7(i, the road

The Williamsport Sunday Times says, j
The above is the title of a work for which i
our townsman, W. It. Bierlv, Esq., has
recently secured a copyright. The work

1638 to the present time, embracing the j
struggles of the pioneers and their rela

the part our Commonwealth bore in the 1
battles for independence and liberty—
the growth of our institutions, and the
lives of warriors, statesmen, scholars, in- j

six hundred pages and over two hundred 1
embellishments.

The Clinton Denio. rat expresses our
sentiments when it -av*: It i* a pretty
hard thing for our legislator* to do, but
they mu-t do it or the people will get
>ther men who will; that is, to btickh
rightdown to the work of retrenchment
rnd reform. It can't he d<*!ged—ex
pense* of running the government, State

Those who nre likely to feel this cutting
lown will <<fcourse try all the inilenre
tlrey can to prevent it, hut it will In: fool
i-h for legislator* to be prevailed upon
ly such preaure when they know that
greater infiueure—the people —i* op
losing it and demanding reduction. It
■ * no use arguing that the ofl'ne holder
cannot live with lc-s, or that this or thut
thing cannot he dune for less. It must
!c done for less. When every man—
merchant, manufacturer, mechanic, far
mer, and laborer-—finds himself com
i e'led to live for lc.-s, it is no timetotclj
him that public servants and public
trusts cannot share in the reductloh.
They must, is the order he issues, and
ihe representative who cannot see this
very plain sign of the times, is so blind
thut if he does'nt wake up to it now, he'll
g t a shaking should he come before the
people aguin that will bring him to his
senses. Economy, retrenchment and re
form has gone along the whole line as
the order of the day, and the people will
see to it that it is obeyed.
