what's the difference—notoriety is noto-

At 12 o'clock, noon, on Sunday last,
was the end of what was probably the
last republican congress. It isgone. No
one, not even a republican, mourns for it.
In fact everybody, except the defeated
river and harbor robber, is glad that the
late congress is no more—dead and bure
ied. It wrote its own epitaph, at its first
session, when it elected Kiefer for Speak-
er. It placed itself on the level of thieves
when it passed the 19 million river and
harbor steal, and refused to relieve the
people of the burden of internal taxa-
tion, a relic of the war,
Gone with it are Robeson and a num-
ber of other public plunderers who did
not even receive decent burial at the
hands of their constitucuts in the late
politieal revolution.
Never was a congress more deaf to the
cry of the people for economy in the ex-
penditures, to check johbery and relieve
the people of taxes at a time when the
Treasury had a hundred million surplus,
It is gone, thank God, and with the
meeting of the next Congress there will
be a new set of men and a new order of
things, embracing revenue and tariff re-
form, and no plunder for the jobbers and

THE CAPITAL REMOVAL.
George A. Hill, of Philadelphia, is
highly elated by the fact that the House
Judiciary Committee reported with an
affirmative recommendation his resolu-
tion to transfer the sittings of the Legis-
lature and the executive department to
the metropolis of the State. The point
of unconstitutionality was raised upon it,
but it was microscopically examined by
able statesmen and able constitutional
lawyers and no defect on that score
found. Consequently the question of the
removal of the capital to Philadelphia is
destined in all likelihood to become an
absorbing issue

answered all expectations, and we can
gay to him, in the name of his constita-
ents, “Weil done, srood and faithful ser-

Crovernor Pattison, last week, sent a
message to the Assembly on the Stand-
ard Oil Company and kindred matters.
The Governor states that certain charges
had been made against E. G. Patterson
by Mr. F, B, Gowen, a respectable and re-
sponsible citizen, that he had been em-
ployed by the State in an action to re-
cover certain taxes, claimed by the Audi-
tor General tobe due by the Standard
Oil Company to the Commonwealth, and
that said Patterson had been paid by
said corporation to suppress the testimo-
ny collected, and the State thereby pre-
vented from obtaining its just dues. The
Governor suggests a committee to inves-
tigate the matter, with full powers. The
Governor also suggests the repeal of the
law which gives the Auditor General
power to employ private counsel to assist
in the prosecution of causes and collec-
tions of claims for the State, and
cludes by saying: “The whole system is
one that ought to receive your careful
consideration, with a view to its repeal,
or, if possible, its reformation. It seems
to me that the Attorney General should
collect all cuch claims, without other
consideration than that now allowed by
law.” Patterson was employed by the
Auditor General. The Governor is mak-
ing things lively with a spirit and purpose
that suits the people admirably. His ve-
to of the Lackawanna Poor Directors’
bill, which was in the nature of a job by
local politicians, was sustained bv a vote

The act to reduce internal revenue tax-
ation, which has just become a law, pro-
vides for the repeal of the tax upon the
capital and deposits of all banks and
bankers, except such taxes as are now
due and payable. Tax on capital and de-
posite therefore cease March 3d.
Comptroller Knox says that the passage
of this act relieves the national and state
banks and bankers from tax on an aver-
erage of about million
month. The amount of tax
from national banks on capital and de-
posits during the last fiscal year was $5
050.702, of which $437 874 only was upon
capital, the remainder being upon depos-
ita. The tax upon state banks and pri-
vate bankers was $5,240,172, of which a
little more than one-fifth was upon cap
The total tax collected upon ds
posits and capital upon
banks during the last fiscal year was §11,-

We give some further points on the
tax bill : The reduction of the tax upon
checks, drafts, ete, and upon matches,
perfumery, medical preparations and
other articles imposed by schedule A,
following section 3437 of the Revised
Statutes, takes effect July 1, 1883. That
after May 1, 1583, she tax on manufac-
tured tobacco and snuff will be eight
cents per pound, on cigars three dollars
per thousand and on cigarettes fifty conts
per thousand. There will be a rebate on
tobacco, snuff, cigars and cigarettes of the
difference in the taxes recently imposed
and the taxes now provided where
claims amount to ten dollars. These
claims must be presented within sixty
days from May 1. Regulations npon this
matter will be immediately issued and
blanks will be furnished upon which
claims can be made. This law provides
for a large reduction in special taxes up-
on dealers, commencing May 1, 1883. The
commissioner also stated that imumedi-
ate arrangements would be made in
changing the form of special tax stamps
and stamps for the payment of taxes up-
on tobacco, snuff, cigars, ete., 80 as to sup-
ply collectors with these stamps in time
to meet the requirements of trade prior
to May 1, 1883,

Pittsburg iron gnasters interviewed on
the tariff questioh are unanimous in their
declarations that under the new law a
reduction of the wages of all classes will
be a necessity, If a reduction is persist-
ed in it will very probably result in a
general strike as a large number of em-
ployecs seen assert that any attempt to
reduce wages will be subbornly resisted.
