The carpet bagger is about to step
down and out, henceforth to be known
only in hiatory. Of all the evils that
afflicted the south the carpet bagger
the most annoying and hateful. M ith
the removal of federal bavonetts and
local self government restored in the
south, the career of the carpel lugger is
at an end, and, as an exchange savs, on
the 4th of March neit William But
Kellogg, from Louisiana, will be the
last carpet lugger left iu the senate of
the United to keep in the re
remembrance of the country an era Oi
reconstruction which was more dread
ful than a period of actual war. George
S. Houston, a distinguished conserva
tive citizen of Alabama, will succeed the
carpet bagger Spencer, and in a lew days
more the democratic legislatures of
South Carolina and Florida will elect
successor® for Patterson and Conover.
Kellogg alone remains, the fit exponent
of the colossal crime by which the peo
ple of the United States were defrauded
of their choice of a President.

From Rome it is announced that an
unofficial account of the discoveries that
have been made by the police agents en
trusted with the task of tracing to its
source the international conspiracy for
the assassination of the Kines of Europe
will probably soon be published. It is
understood that the discoveries are full
and complete, and show the existence
of a widespread combination for this
purpose. The revolutionary propaganda
in Italy has been mainly carried on
through the agency of this association,
and men in high positions are believed
to be members of the organization.
According to the Titusville Herald, an
authority on oil matters, the Williams
port pipe line is a fixed fact. The com
pany has been formed, the stock sub
scribed, the officers chosen and work al
ready commenced. The parties inter
ested in this great enUrpri&e are busi
ness men of character and standing, and
it is expected that the "long talked
about" improvement will now be made.
It cannot fail to be of great benefit to
the producers, as it will enable them to
send their oil to market without being
under the thumb of the great Standard
monopoly, and compelled to accept
whatever price it cboooes to pay. The
line, it is stated, will have a capacity of
8,000 barrels per day, which will flowio
to the tanks at Williamvport. Trom this
point it will be shipped by rail to the
seaboard, making a greet deal of busi
ness for whatever road has the contract
for its transportation. It is expected
that oil refineries will also be erected
there, which will give employment
to labor and greatly benefit the city.
Since the discovery of an over-issue of
Pennsylvania State bonds of 1863, on
August 7. between fifteen and twenty of
these bonds of the denomination of
?1,000 have been prrs -nted at the Treas
ury Department, at Harrisburg, for re
demption, but payment was refused for
the reason that the full amount of the
loan, $228,000, bad bsen redeemed.
On November 6th one was received
from Philadelphia and payment refused.
Tuesday the same bond was sent on by
the Central National Bank of Philadel
phia, presented/and payment again re
fused. The bank then notified the
Treasury Department that if payment
was refused the same course would be
pursued as in tbe case of a protested note
and tbe bond was accordingly protested.
The State Treasurer will make a report
of the matter to the Legislature, end will
publish in full the correspondence with
bankers and financiers upon the sub
ject.
What is the cause of the war between
England and Afghaniston? Well, there
is really no cause. England is playing
tbe bully over a weaker power—she
wanted the Ameer of Afghanistan to be
favora.,.e to her in all matters, an ene
my to England's enemies and a friend to
her friend. This particularly in her
longing for increased dominion in In
dia. Tbe Ameer choose to refuse this
upon Beveral occasions, and when a few
week's Bgo she again made the request
for tbe last time and demanded a reply
and apology for being snubbed, there
was no reply at all at the time set by
England ; an advance was immediately
ordered, and war has commenced. This
is the whole cause in a nutshell.

It is reported from raiib!e sources,
that Grant has been offered the throne
of the new empire of Bulgaria. That is
what he much wished to be in the
U.S. Grant would suit well for a king
so he could act out his Jomineerir.g
nature, and live in a style thai docs not

der Grant's administration there was
, much aping of royalty in all the white
house affain at Washington. What a

| A great howl has lately been raised
j over the southern elections by radical
journals, to excite the north. Their
charges against the democrats that they
did not permit a fair election, prove
false.
i In Lotisiana the colored men were
i the firrt to commit a breach of the peace,
l and a correspondent in mentioning it
! says be has used every effort to get at
i the perfect and exact truth of the lute
* reported outrages in different parts of
i the state, but so far with only partial
■ success. There seems, however, no
doubt as to one point iu both the Tensas
i and Caddo difficulties; that in both of
these the fight was opened by tho ne
groes and was not oegun on the part of
the a bites until several of their number
had fallen. In Caddo a mob of negroes
had assembled within a radius of a mile
of the polls, with arms in their hands,
threatening to break up the election.
The commissioners of election cubed
upon toe sheriff to disperse this assern
blage, which was expressly against the
law, and prevent the threatened out
rage. In attempiug to do thisseveral of
the sheriff's posse were shot down. The
negroes who were killed in the light
which followed were all armed. In
Tensas parish I learn, through republi
can sources, that tho difficulties origina
ted first between a mounted company of
whites who were returning from Tensas
after most of the negroes had dispersed,
and a small body of negroes more vio
lent than the rest, who would not leave.
The fight here, too, it is stated, was be
gun by the negroes.

. tiai ua ~i> terminated in the trans
fer of the M By to Governor
, llartraufr From his long fctatem>;;i ye i
. make the following extract:
"After considerable general talk, Mat
tery stale'l that he had brought with
. hitii Johu Kehoe. a friend of his, who
would work with him against Pershing;
, hut as they were both poor they conld
. not U-rel cxtd spend their own money ; j
they would do' :ui they cat Id against
him - • far as j -~,b!e p even without get-1
, a cent toward expense*, but if we
i ould furnish them the means to travel. !
and get their friends to work, they were
certain they c >uld make a change of a
certain number of votes in each of the
Irish districts. They made a calcula
tion, lot the figures I do not now recol
lect. We wanted to know how much
they thought it would re juiie to pi7
I their < xpeuscs fur themselves aud frienus
to make a thorough canvass and bring
about llie r *ult stated. They put the
ligoresat SJ. >K) for the State ticket and
fl.l ci more if they ran certain other
cai.didates on the county ticket ahead
of a cexlatu We tohl them that of
course they could not tvpwcf jl:o whole
<>f the amount unU-s* they proved, after
the vote was counted, that they and
their friends in the several townships
had accomplished w hat they said. To
this both replied that they uiust have
the v., *. at once, us they should re
quire every sv.d more to travel and
. get their Irieu Is to do t 'tne: that
ihey were in earnest in this matter, and
that they did not wish anything for
themselves or friends except to have
ihuir expenses paid; the satisfaction of
defeating Pershing would be ample re
ward. After farther unimportant
conversation we told them tnai we would
consider the matter, and if we decided
to furnish them the money 1 would tele
graph Slattery. After a lew days we con
cluded to give them the money. I tele
graphed inaitary, and thev came to my
bouse. Mr. Henntog wad thare, and gt
ter stating that he had talked over the
matter, we told the in that we thought
that thev ought to be able to accomplish
the result with at Itust half down and
the other half after the election ; but
they auid that they could not possibly
ilo it unJeau they got it all; but if that
was all we could do, Hut they would do
the very heat they could with that
amount. We finally agreed to give it,
paid them fl.UUti that night ami the
other a few days after, at Mattery'a houre
iu Tuscarora."
This admission of Gen. Figfried con
firm* -J1 that has been charged concern
ing the disgiaceful alliance between the
Republican lcadef* of Pennsylvania and
the Moby Maguires. The chief differ
ence between the statement of (ien.fcig
fried and tho testimony of John J. Mat
tery is the denial of the former that he
i said lie would go to Harrisburg and get
the money after the bargain was struck.
Gen. Mgfried denies al.*o that Gov.
liartranft knew anything about the
transaction "until some time after the
election." This difference ia not mate*
rial. Gen. lioyt wa* Chairman of the
Republican State Central t'ommiltee at
the time, and it was not necessary for
Gen. Mgfried to mention the source
from winch the money was obtained. It
is enough that Gov. liartranft became
informed of the character of his indebt
edness to the Molly Maguires some time
after the election, lint the whole char
acter ol the alliance between the Repub
lican leaders and the Molly Maguires
stands confessed in the narrative of Gen.
Sigfried. Some good Republicans have
shaken their beads in doubt as to the
existence of this foul conspiracy with
Hsfussiim for votes. They have closed
their ears to the solemn declaration of
Franklin B.Gowen that he knew of con
ferences between prominent Republicans
and the chiefs of the Molly Maguires, in
which large surrs of money were paid
forturniug the tide of a Slate election.
What do they say now to this revelation
bv Gen. Sigfried of the methods by
which large Republican majorities are
produced iu cerlain portions of Pennsyls
vania?
In relating the story of the negotia
tions with Kehoe and Slattery Gen. Sig
fried says he would have had nothing to
do with the matter had he known they
were Molly Maguires. Of course not.
He would have gone among reputable
citizens to make bargains for votes, and
no doubt his pure mind was greatly
shocked when lie subsequently learned
that he wasdenling with the chief of a
band of asean-ins. He never intended i
that the money should be used in any <
but "a legitimate way." By no means. (
He knew that Slattery was "an avowed
enemy of Judge Pershing" and lie took .
it for granted that such a personal enemy 1
would not use the money except in a '
legitimate way. The money was not t
given to buy votes at all. It was to be t
used by Kehoe and Slattery and Ibeir j
friends to "travel." The. proud satisfac- s
tion of defeating Judge Pershing would
be "ample reward" fur three high-mind- 11
ed citizens who bargained for votes as 1
coolly with General Sigfried as if they *
were selling him pigs. It is possible, t
since we have General Sigfried's word e
for it, that he was ignorant of the char
acter of the men with whom he was .
dealing, hut the principals who paid the "
money knew their value, and the result b
pftbfi election shows that in a political a
a* well as a commercial point of view it
ww a good investment. It gave the

of the south from the yellow fever

Every step in this direction u welcomed
with public approval, and every interrupt
lion ot steady and uniform progress to the

uneasiness and wide-spread condemnation.
The recent Congressional elections have
furaisbed a direct and trustworthy lest of
tbo auvaace lout tar -aiio in the prt.tica!
establishment of the right of suffrage, se
cured by the Constitution to the liberated
race in Ihe Southern States. All disturb

removed from ail of these Slates.
He next refers to the three amendments
as i;.ng lee- accented by '.be louth ;
but thinks the colored people have not
bad a full enjoyment of the benefits in
tended, and which were promised, and
thinks Congress should look into the mat
ter and that the offenders should be pun

to (biz end. This is nice coming from one
himself a great irauj /
Next he refers to our peaceful relations
with other countries, and has s kind word
for the I'arii exposition.

for the purpose of adopting a coptwOE
ratio between geld and silver—that the
conference reached no agreement.
The Halifax sward, paying over $5.-
6(0,000 to England for the fisheries, and
the protest ate then mentioned.
The Spanish insurrection in Cuba being

Since the resumption of diplomatic rela-|
lions with Mexico, correspondence has
been opened and still continues between
the two uovorr.R-.tats upon (be various
questions which at vuctioie seemed to en
danger their relations. While no formal
agreoment has been reached as to the
troubles on tho border, much has bean |
done to ropressand diminish them.
The amount of the public ocbt, less cash,
in the Treasury, November 1,1878, was
$2,024,200,0 ft! 18—a reduction, since she
same date last year, of $2>,150.b17 31*. j
The progress made during the last year,
in refunding the public debt at lower rates
of interest, is very gratifying. The amount
of four per cent, bonds sold during the
present year prior to November 2s, 1878,
if $100,270,900, and six per cent, bonds,
commonly known as fivo-twenties, to an
equal amount, have been, or will be re
deemed as calls mature.
It has been the policy of tho Depart
ment to place the four per cent, bonds
within easy reach of every citizen who de
tires to invest his savings, whether smell
or great,*in these securities. The Secreta
ry of the Treasury recommends that the
law bo to modiflod, that small sums may
bo invested, and that through the poitotli
ces, or other agents of the Government,
the freest opportunity may be given in all
parts of tho country for such investments
The best mode suggested is, that the
Department be authorized to issue certifi
cates of deposit of the denomination of ten
dollars, bearing interest at the rate of 3.661
percent, per annum, and convertible at
any time within one year after their issue
into the four per cent, bonds authorized
by the refunding act, and to be issued on
ly in exchango for United States notes
ent to the Treasury by mail or otherwise
Such a provision oflaw, supported by euit
ible regulations, would enable any person
readily, without cost or risk, to convert
lis money into an interett-beiring socuri- j
ty ofthe United States, and the money so j
-cceivod could be applied to tho redeinp- |
ion of six per cent, bonds. (
In the present financial condition of the i
•ountry, I am persuaded that the welfare i
>f legitimate business and industry of ev- J
iry description will be best promoted by J
bstaining from all attempts to make rad- J
cal changes in the oxisting financial leg- t
station. Let it be understood that during •
he coming year the business of the coun- e
ry will be undisturbed by governmental J
nlerference with the laws affecting it, and £
ro may confidently expect that the re
umption of specie payments, which will u
ike place at the appointed time, will be
jccesfully and easily maintained, and J,'
lit it will be followed by healthful and ™
nduring revival of bueiness prosperity. G<
Let the healing influences of lime, the si
iherent energies of eur people, and the *<
oundless resources of our country, have "
fair opportunity, and relief front pretest >
difficulties will surely follow

SHALL THERE BE A REDUCTION
OF EXPENSES.
I The following true anil forcible observa
tions by the Patriot about the financial
condition of our state treasury and the
reckless and improper expenditures f the
people's money by the legislature, deserve
attention. It says : The inability of the
slat# treasury tu meet the appropriation
, made by the last legislature calls a hall
upen the practice ot making donations
out of the people's taxes to private insti
. tutionx of a charitable or educational
character. Doubtless the ordinary ex
paniilures will be Coft-.derably increase.)
by the incoming legislature, fbry are ten
large and the shrunken revenues require
that greater economy shall be observed in
conducting the affairs of the state. Bui
the expenses of running the machinery of
I the state government it morel v a drop in
the bucket at compared with ibe lavish
appropriations for purposes altogether
, foreign to the public or official service of
. the state. It i* no doubt popular to attack
the salaries of public officers, but it is
nevertheless true that the taxpayer* ofthe
| common waalth could afford to pay their
. servant* in the legislature even better
salaries than they now receive if the latter
would set their faces sternly at all limes
against the lavish largesses which in the
past have been voted lo the various mer-
Leant institutions which the state is not
, bound cither politically or morally t<> sup
■ port. The payment of salaries is spilling

against the systotn, and especially some of
its incidents. If a oullivaleJ oriental were

• f -g in the law. often without any other
learning, and that neither party lo the
contest could prevail until all the twelve
men were of on# qplnioh ir. his favor, he
would certainly be amazed at tbe proposi
tion. Nor have the European nations dif
fered much with bim in their estimate of
trial bviury. It has been well understood

Many attempts have been made to intro
duce it in some modified shape, but I
think it safe to say that it ha not in it*
essential Anglo-Saxon feature met th<- ap
proval of any people except those of that
race. In tbe days when kings exercised
arbitrary power, tbe jury was, among the
sturdy, liberty-loving Englishmen, a val
uable barrier against oppression by the
crown. But in this country, where the
people are sovereign, tbo jury is but 100
oflsri'be mere reflection of popular im
pulse. and the safety of an innocent man is
mora frequently found lo depend on the
firmness ofthe judge than tho impartial it)
of the jury. Still it is probably wise thai
ao man shall !>• convicted of an infamous
crime until twelve fair-minded men are
convinced of his guilt. 1 am also forced
i lo admit, however, that even in civil cases
tny experience as a judge has been much
inoro favorable to jury trials than it was
as a practitioner. And I atn bound to say
j that an intelligent and unprejudiced jury,
when such can bo obtained, who aje in
structed in the law with such clearness,
precision and brevity as will present their
| duty in bold relief, are rarely mistaken in
I regard to fact* which they are called upon
to find.—Justice Miller before the Stale
Bar Association.
