Horatio Seymour's advice to the 1 Vtno
crate at Utica deserves to he renn ml-er
cd. It VM not enough for thorn to show
that the other party was unfit forpow i r :
they must show themselves tit for£it.
"Unless wo sliow that," said he, 'I, > r
one, pray God that wo may never come
into power."
Hon. 1.. A. Macker, says the Morning
Tatriot. made an excellent speech in the
botwe of representatives on Saturxlay in
support of the bill introduced by him in
February last to appropriate f.tOO,<** out
of the money to l>e repaid to the govern
ment from the proceeds of the couten
nial exposition for the purpose of eom
plcting the Washington monument- lie
calls attention to the fact that the eou
gtn of the country ao early is IVcotn
ber, 17t3, resolved that a marble monu
ment should l>e erected to the memory
of Washington and requested tire widow
of General Washington to permit hit
body to bo deposited under it. Mrs
Washington coneatei to sacrifice her
private feelings to a sen*) of public duty.
But with this tho matter emled. There
Lao been no improvement upon the
®lomn bosh of ITW with which the
widow of the great man wws defrauded
a proudso which has never Us-u re
sponded to In good faith. The present
abortive struetur In Washington has
been jvaid ior by private subscriptions.
It stands aw itness against the people of
the United States. It is a monument to
their ingratitude. It is to be hoped that
If any centennial money gets hack into
the treasury it may take tho direction
proposed by Mr. Maekey.There is a fit
ness in finishing up the monument with
centenuial money.
On the - inst. the house of representa
tives at llarrisburg expelled another
member, Lynott of Lucerne, for having
received money for his vote upon the
boom bill —having u few days before ex
pelled Petroff of Phi lad., as will be seen
in last week's Reporter. Mr. Lynott wu>
represented by counsel before the lur ot
the House, and endeavored to evade
expulsion by tendering his resignation
as a member. This, however, the House
refused to receive and accomplished the
formal expulsion.
The chair announced that he had a
communication from Mr. Lynott, which
being on the tabic, should bo read. It
being understood, however, that this
communication embodied the resigna
tion of Mr. Lynott, objections were rait
ed to its being read.
The letter of Lynott to the Speaker
starts out by resigning the office of Rep
resentative, for tho reason that the
Mouse has not time at this late day of
the session to go into a full hearing of
the ease. He says, further, that he in
tended, long before this investigation
commenced, to disclose to the House
what he knew of the corruption used to
aid in the passage of the boom biil. An
other reason he assigned for resigning is
the interpretation by the House of what
constitutes the two-third vote necessary
for expulsion. He says that he is not
willing to trust his case in the hands of
sixty-seven members when the Consti
tution requires for his expulsion the
votes of one hundred and thirty-four.
The vote on expulsion stood, yeas 144
r.uya 29.
The Journal clerk of the house, Mr.
Skinner, handed in his resignation to
the chief clerk, by whom he had been
appointed. .Skinner was also implicat
ed in the boom operations.
The expulsion of PetrotT and Lynott
does not near purify the house of its
roosters—these two were caught, but un
doubiwdly there are doxena yet unhung
whose tracks were successfully covered.
We are satisfied that sumo of the worst
•ofruptionieto yet hold their seats, and
eeeo bad the impudence to vote for the
c pulsion of the oxmiben mentioned
<Jt>ore. Ucw many voted for the expul
sion of Lynott and IV-troll who can
-throw the liret stone or who do not live
In glass houses?
If citizens were a little more careful
of the material they choose for members,
our legislative halls would not bp tilled
by the corrupt material that is sent there
from year to year. Men whose reputa
tion for honesty is not above suspicion
at home, are the wrong chaps to send to
the legislature.
It is said Grant now looks out three
tvaya for Sunday and has lost sight of
third-term altogether.
Horatio Seymour positively declines
being a candidate for president. He
Would make a good president neverthe
less.
From the cards and circulars that are
font out just now, we notice that "first
class"' hotels have sprung up in Phila
delpbia like mushrooms. The ''hotels"
are put up out of half-price boards plas
tered oTer with newspapers.
It is not all up with Grant yet There
is a post-master in tlfe upper end of this
county, who writes to the lieporter that
lie is in favor of Grant for a third term.
While there is life there is hope.
M.VKE A NOTE OF IT.. —Our prosperity
as a people will begin when rascality in
office and extravagance and folly in
public and private life come to an end.
It i$ because the people havo been
plundered and the Government robbed
that business men suffer and so much
poverty prevails. The first step to secure
a real restoration of business is to place
honest men at the front.
The Presidential contest will be one of
absorbing interest to tho people, and no
family should be without a newspaper.
There is no one so poor that he cannot
afford to spend the nomiual sum of five
■cents a week for tho valuaLlo informa
tion that he derives from the weekly
visits of a newspaper in his family.
Bend in yoer names at once for the Re
porter, and be posted in regard to the
events of the day.
On 4 inst in the Senate, Mr. Ander
son, from the committee to investigate
the charges against Senator T. J. Boyer,
made the following report which was
laid on the table:
To the Senate of Feniuijleania: The un
dersigned, a committee to whom was re
ferred the case of T. J. Boyer, of this
body, and charged with using improper
means to procure the defeat of senate
bill No. 21, known as the boom bill,
.respectfully make the following re
port.
The evidence on. which the .charges
nro made against said Boyer is mat my,
if not altogether, that of Nicholas Andre
a member of the house of representa
tives from Berks county, and found in
hit; (ihitumvut bvfvre the houee coiuuiit
(CO of investigation on the Ixioni bill.
The testimony is not essentially enntm
dieted by Buyer, so that vonr commit■<
too doomed it uiHicoesstiv to oall wit
UCKM " nnd thort by inonr tho outlay and
expense attendant on MI. ha course.
The testimony of Mr. Andre is to the
effect that he was approached by Bovi r,
who in the course of the coitvertaiion
informed Andre that he \tan interested
in the lutnher traile and thought the
rates in the hill should he modified
that the hoomngc on pine rlnjuld he
Jl.l-t per thousand I. ct, and that Itoyci
would guarantee the payment of f>:siHi it
he Andre would snp|H>rt sueh unamend
inent. In a Mihso.jnont conversation
ltuyer assured him f ItM if he would
vote against the hill.
This is the substance of the testimony
and ill the main not denied, but in . x
planation Itoyer insisted that he had no
intention of using corrupt meanstointhi
onoo his v. to; that chargv •• w. re fh civ
bandied alsuit that both |arties int. rest-
e.l iu the boom hill were u>.ng money
to influence legislation and that he w.is
using that rep..it in a playful manner to
tease Mr. Andre.
We have thus given you in hint the
t. alimony and Mr. Boy cr's an- uoi ori x
plana! ion.
Your commit:, e, w ill* a deep sen c of
their rvapotwibihty, would res;*, tfnllv
report that in their judguuut the t vt
deuee is not sulficlent to justify a eh a rue
of bribery against T. J. Beyer While
this is true, your committee teels in duty
bound to disapprove of the conduct ot
Mr. lo\.r, for, in our view, assuming
that he humorously expressed that there
was a money Inducement offered to s
member of tire legislature for his vote,
the act was one which tends to lower
tho dignity of u senator and bring dis
honor upon the body of which ho is a
member.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Skinner helped to skin the boomerang
and then jumped out of his own skin by
\ resignation. Skinners by profe>siou
are always abont capitol hill, at Harris
burg, but the house journal elerk was n

The Mib-crramittee of the judiciary
committee engaged in tho investigation
of the Union Pacific Railroad find that
$"247, 000 of the first mortgage bonds of
tho road have been put out,and that the
company got nothing for them. Interest
on them is paid every six months by
the company. In addition to this thcro
are SIIO,OOO of the government bonds
not accounted for, and interest is being
{•aid ou these also. Mr. 11am, the former
auditor of the road, is the only witness
examined so far, but a dozen subpoenas
were issued on Saturday for Messrs. Sid
ney Pillon, several government direc
tors, including Harrison and Wilson,and
others.
Reportsjfrom Washington, says the
World, give an account of the formatiou
of a "National Independent Political
[ Union" among the colored j-eoplc which
avows open hostility to the Republican
! party. The address published by the
Union dwells bitterly on the Freed man's
Bank fraud, and also accuses Republi
cans of leaving sacrificed the true inter
ests of the colored people by embroiling
them with their Southern neighbors.
Whatever may be the strength or stand
ing of such an organization, it is plain in
this charge the address hits the weak
spot in the policy of the Republican
party. It is unsound politics for the
negroes to be in alliance with Northern
men against their own fellow-citizens
and against the best good of their own
States. They will under such a system
gradually become like foreign colonists
in the South, and be put in antagonism
on points where they ought to be in
sympathy with Southerners. Soouer or
later, as they become educate*! tip to a
knowledge of their situation and vote
It-8J from sentiment than Judgment, l*s
out of gratitude than in auticijwtion of
future benefit, some such revolution will
take place.
And there is still another radical in
vention to make money, as is now learn
ed from Washington. A man by the
name of Xeal, residing in that city, tells
a queer story. He was employed in the
Treasury Department before the plan of
destroying paper money by chopping it
in pieces came in vogue to burn the re
deemed notes a large furnaco iu tho de
partment was tiscd for the purpose. One
day he was placing bundles of the notes
in the furnace, w hen one package con
taining thousands of dollars became
loosened, he examined it closely, and to
his surprise discovered it to be a package
of worthless paper. Xeal will be sum
moned to testify.
So doubt many such bundles of worth
less paper was substituted for tho re
deemed paper money nnl burned, and
the greenback set afloat again being that
much clean gain to some scauip In the
treasury department There is no getting
ahead of these cusses, and their ways
would never have been found out, had
it not been for a democratic house.

Washington, May 1. President Grant
has today performed an act which a| •
pears to bo tho most high-handed abuse
of bia official power whi hhe Ims per

crul CuaU r gave important testimony
before the investigation o> mmitteo rela

was subjtoenacd by the House manage re
as a wit net* in the impeachment trial.
In obedience to that suhpa-na he came
on, and has been here lor some days.
To-dav the President relieve*! him froni
his commnnd. When the new s came to
General Sherman and Secretary Taft
both went to the President ami protest
ed that i! would not do. General Sher
man went further, and said that fust* r
w as not only the best man, but the only
man tit to had the e\{*-dition now lil

their entreaties Grant turned a deaf ear,
and said that if tiny could not And a

put a stop to it. By advice of General
Sherman and Secretary T.ift General
Custer wint to the White II m.-e to call

for ho bad done nothing hut his* duty,

lie stated that he railed for the purpose

.1 CHRISTIAN "CIIINEE" ON HIS
unkeoeneiia ted brethren.
San Francisco. May 4. — Before the
Senate Chinese Commission, now sitting
at Sacramento, Lent Bchann, a Chris
tianized Chinese proper, yesterday, tes
tified thatltis practically impossible to
convert a grown Chinaman to Christian
ity, though sometimes efforts in that
direction have been successful in the
case of boys, lie said tho condition of
Chinese women hen* is horrible. They
are bought and sold like cattle, are abus
ed by their masters tortured and often
kilicd for attempting to csaape. The
presence of tho lower < lasses of t hinese
in this country is disastrous to both
whites and Chinese. The Chinese here
of the better Has desire immigration
stopped, and the whole thing ran bo
done in a friendly way. The Chinese
(Jovsrnmcnt desires to keep its subjects
at home, aud if immigration, which is
mostly from the jHoylnca of Canton was
stopped it would have no ctfect upon tho
commercial relations with China. The
Chinese Government would willingly
assist in stopping this immigration but
witness thought tbey could not <lo it
themselves, as there are eighteen pro
vinces aud a revolution iu almost every
province. Christianity Is not advanced
by this immigration, but if it waa stop
ped something might be done with those
lit re. The witness r< rr- I . -rated the
evidence previouslv given concerning
the in which the Chinese secret
tribunals put a nrieeon the lives of those
offending their laws and carried out such
sentences.
The Mayor of San Francisco has issued
a proclamation to the Chinamen there
in the Chinese language. After promis
ing them protection from riotous attack,
he proceeds to tell them why their pres
ence is obnoxious. Many of them lie
long to the virions and criminal classes;
many of thorn live by gambling, all of
them subject themselves to a species of
slavery; nearly all their woman are lewd
their quarters are foul, and they live in
disregard of the health regulations of
the city. The Mayor elaborates these
points in his Chinese proclamation to
tho Ban Francisco Chinamen, lie warns
them that hereafter the laws w ill he en
forced against their illegal practices,
their gambling habits, their lewd wo
men, and their jK-stiferous residences.
This is the proper thing to do. There
will he no objection to such a policy
anywhere. The lawsund municipal regu
lations must ho enforced impartially all
around, and the Chinamen of San 1-rnti
cisco must he kept in as wholesome and
virtuous a condition as the rest of tin
population.
In the case of the Commonwealth
against James F. Milliken, District At
torney of Blair county, the grand jury
found a true hill hist week, and the ease
was continued ufon defendant entering
bail for his appearance to answer Un
charge at the next term of court. The
prosecution against Mr.Milliken was in
stituted by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, and is for malfeasance in of
fice.
The President has directed that tlic
