THE AMERICAN HOTEL SYSTEM.
An exchange, which has been looking
after our hotel system, says :
"Hotel keepers must learn that the day of high
priced hostelries is at an end. The tendency now
is toward hotels charging but $2 or $3 per day, al
though increasing their comfort.. People have got
tired paying $2 or $3 more, just for a little extra
style."
- - -
We have been led to regard the Ameri
can hotel system as one of the greatest im
positions that the American people have to
contend with. In fact it is nothing more
than a huge swindle. A traveler, who is
obliged to have lodgings, is compelled to
pay three and four times the value of what
he gets, and simply because he is forced to
have a respectrble place to lodge. Let us
illustrate : Mr. A is a merchant who is
obliged to visit Philadelphia or New York
to buy goods. We will say Philadelphia
because she is nearer to us—he leaves this
place at 11.12 o'clock at night and reaches
the city between 7 and 8 o'clock in the
morning. He goes into a first-class hotel,
because he cannot run any risks by going
into places without any reputation, registers
his name, takes his breakfast, and goes
down street to business. At noon he is
busy and runs'out to the nearest restaurant,
and for fifty cents or seventy-five, takes an
excellent dinner. Again at tea time lie
finds himself away from his hotel, and for
thirty or forty cents he gets au excellent
supper. But when night comes on he must
have a place to lodge, and he wends his way
back to the hotel. The next day he pur
sues the same course, and at night, when
he desires to return home, he steps up to
the clerk and is coolly informed that his
bill is seven or eight dollars'. There is no
use in him asking "how is that for high ?"
—he must shell out. For about two dol
lars worth of actual entertainment ho has
paid seven or eight dollars ! Truly, the
people ought to be getting tired of this
kind of thing.
PERSONAL DENUNCIATION.
The Pittsburg Commercial, in comment
ing upon a resolution adopted by the late
Ohio Editorial Convention, condemning
ver,....lithes-in—discossions;-mateS the-fel-
lowing sensible remarks :
We are glad to observe that the recent Ohio
Editorial Convention, the proceedings of wbich are
reported elsewhere, adopted a reflelution condemn
ing personal denunciation and defamation in dis
cussing questions of public interest.. We have no
doubt that the personalities in which opposing edi
tors so freely indulge, are, after all, meant often
only in a Pickwickian sense; tut this private un
derstanding that no harm is intended does not les
sen the evil consequences which have flowed from
the liabit. Indeed, we are not quite certain whether
the insincerity which such an admission on the part
of rival editors would indicate, is not of itself as
reprehensible a feeling as outspoken malice. What
is needed is perfect candor, frankness, fairness and
respect for the truth. Epithets are not arguments,
nor can it be proved that twice two are NOT four,
because the author of the multiplication table may
haply have trenched upon the rights of his neigh
bor. 'This is a digression,' observed a gentleman
to his antagonist in debate, when the latter threw
a glass of pater in his face; 'now for the proof:—
We are glad to notice this advance toward impar
tial and impersonal journalism."
Since our connection with the press, we
have always endeavored to avoid what these
editors so justly condemn, and we hope the
day will come when the man who controls
the columns of a newspaper and resorts to
personal defamation, will be deserted by his
subscribers and discountenanced by gentle
men everywhere. It is a most vicious and
loathsome practice. As well might minis
ters of the different churches abuse each
other because they hold opposite views.—
The effect upon the community could not
-be b.., wolee . , - illitrhip — py to
see so respectable a body as the Ohio Edi
torial Convention take so decided a stand
upon this subject.
GENERAL CAMERON.
The following deserved tribute is paid
to General Cameron by the Pittsburgh
Gazette: "There is no man more faithful
to the interests of his constituents , than
Senator Cameron. Notwithstanding the
infirmities of age, and that he is just re
covering from a severe accident, his tall
and erect form was seen moving toward the
Senate Chamber every morning during the
past week, and he was in his seat punctu
ally at the hour appointed for meeting.—
The centennial bill has not failed in any
respect for any lack of interest in or atten
tion to it on his part. As it has been in
this, so it is in every case entrusted to his
care or in which his constituents are inter
ested. Pennsylvania has never had a more
faithful, diligent nor influential Senator to
attend to her interests in the United States
Senate than General Cameron."
THE PRESIDENT JUDGESHIP OF THIS
DISTRICT.
The last issues of the papers of a neigh
boring county, teem with articles on this
subject, plainly instigated by aspirants
there to the office; all aimed at JUDGE
TAYLOR; most of them designed to intimi
date,—all to disparage him. We have not
had a word with him on the subject, and
are entirely ignorant of his views or inten
tions ; but everybody knows that he is not
easily intimidated, and that he has very
many very warm friends who are likely to
cling more closely, rather than be driven
away, by abuse of him.
This discussion of the subject. if not pre
mature, is not likely. we think, in the end,
to injure the Judge, or greatly to benefit
those who, to disparage him, give it a per
sonal direction.
THE LAST CHAICE !
I hereby give notice to all persons in
debted to me for subscription, advertising
or job work, that all unsettled accounts
will be placed in the hands of an officer for
collection immediately after the April
Court. Those who settle their accounts
by that time will be charged only two dol
lars per annum ; after that date three dol
Ears will be charged. Those who desire to_
save something will avail themselves of this
offer. My books MUST be settled.

/el . The Harrisburg Patriot, the cen
tral organ of the Democratic party of Penn
sylvania, published at Harrisburg, by
B. F. Meyers & Co., is one of the most
sprightly and enterprising newspapers in
the State. it reaches Huntingdon twelve
hours sooner than any of the papers from
the eastern cities, and it contains all the
current news. If any of our Democratic
friends will read the news, and refuse to
take a republican paper, we say, by all
means, take the Patriot. It is published
at $7 a year and furnished by the news

EDITOR
,per• The official statement of the Na
tional Debt for the month of February
shows a decrease during the month, of $7,-
317,960, and a total decrease since the first
of March, 1870, of $117,619,360. This
looks as if Gen. Grant's administration was
doing the handsome thing on the National
debt question. At this rate, if Grant is
re-elected, he will wipe out one-fourth of
the debt inside of eight years. •
Igi c . The Bedford Inquirer thinks we
misconstrued its article on the next U. S.
Senator, We think not. If the Inquirer
intends to iusist upon the course it has
chalked out we hope it will be ilert alone
in its glory." A general acquiescence of
the Republican party in a movement of
this kiwi would result in general defeat.--
Perhaps the Inquirer wants this ?

Our Washington Correspondence,
WASHINGTON, D. c, March 3, 1871
EDITOR OF 11IINTI N(;DON JOURNAL ;
On to-morrow, at 12 o'clock, M., the 41st'
Congress will be classed "among the things
that were." From and after that hour, it
will be known only by its living record, andi
its fame will rest upon its acts. The future',
must determine, whether it will be distin
guished, in the history of the country, for
its wisdom and patriotism, or be denouncedl
for its errors. It came into power with
General Grant as President, whose admin
istration follows one that had forfeited the
respect and confidence of the country. It
gave to the new Eneentivn its helping aid, I
in the task of reforming abuses, and inau
gurating an era of economy in the working !
of every branch of the Government. It
ceases to exist when the Constitutional
term of .the President, chosen by the peo
ple at the same election, is but half com
pleted, leaving it to a successor, to either
pttrette the samelaw ofpolWWTorto supplant
that policy by a different one. We know
what has been done, and that is open to
the criticism of the people, the source of
all power in our system of Government.- 1
We know not what will be done, and that
is open to speculation:
The changes in the representation of the
respective States, in the Senate and House
of Representatives, have brought to Wash
ington many heretofore unknown to polit
ical circles at the Capital. 4t the opening
of the 42d Congress, nineteen new Senators
and one hundre and ten new Representa
tives (not members of the 41st Congress)
will be introduced on the floors of the res
pective Houses. There have been no elec
tions to the 42d Congress, in the States of
New Hampshire, Connecticut, California
and Texas, having, in the aggregate, four
teen members.
In the Pennsylvania Delegation, in the
42d Congress, there will be thirteen mem
bers, who were not in the 41st. In the
2d Dis., John V. Creely (Rep.) will suc
ceed Charles O'Neill (Rep.)—ln the sth
Die., Alfred C. Harmer (Rep.) will suc
ceed Caleb N. Taylor (Rep.)—ln the 6th
Die., Ephraim L. Ackers(Dem.) will sac
' eeed John D. Stiles (Dem.)—ln the 10th
Die., John W. Killinger (Rep.) will Flll
- Henry L. Cake (Rep.)—ln the 11th
Die., John B. Storm (Dem.) will succeed
Daniel M. Van Auken (Dem.)—ln the
12th Dis., Lazarus D. Sohemakor (1190
wttt suceerGebife W. - Woodward (Dem.)
—ln the 16th Dis., Benj. F. Myers
(Dem.) will succeed ohn Cessna (Rep.)
who will contest the right of Mr. Myers.
In the 17th Dis., R. Milton Spear (Dem.)
will succeed Daniel J. Morrell (Rep.)—ln
the 18th Die., Henry Sherwood (Dew.)
will succeed Wm. H. Armstrong (Rep.)
—ln the 20th Dis., Samuel Griffith
(Dem.) will succeed Calvin W. Gilfillan
(Rep.)—ln the 21st Die., Henry D. Fos

ceased, (Rep.)—ln the 23d Dis., Ebenezer
McJunkin (Rep.) will succeed Darwin
Phelps (Rep.)—ln the 24th Dis., Wm.
McClelland (Dem.) will succeed Joseph
B. Donley (Rep.) In this change of re
presentation, the Democrats gain six mem
bers and lose one, leaving a net gain of
five members. If Mr. Myers, of the 16th
Dis., retain his seat, the Pennsylvania
Delegation will stand thriteen Republicans
and eleven Democrats. The House will
be divided as follows: 130 Republicans,
96 Democrats, 1 Independent, 2 vacancies
since election, and 14 not yet elected.
The Judiciary Committee of the Senate
has made a very important Report, con
struing the law in relation to the payment
of the principal and interest of the bonds
of Railroad Companies, which have receiv
ed aid in bonds of the United States. The
Attorney General had given an opinion,
that the Government should retain the full
amount due the Companies for Government
transportation over their roads, as a credit
on the amount of interest on the bonds
which had been guarantied and paid by the
United States. The Report of the Senate
Committee takes a different view of the
law. The committee holds that these
companies are not lawfully bound to re
imburse the United States for this paid
interest before the maturity of the bonds,
except that one half of the compensation
for services for the Government may be
retained : Also the five per cent. of the
net proceeds of the business of the roads
must be annually applied to the payment
of said bonds and interest. It is said that,
if the Government gives all its transpor
tation to these companies, in the end it
will not be the loser—that one half of the
compensation for all the Government trans
portation and the five per cent. of the net
proceeds of a business, which will be
largely increased, will be sufficient to ul
timately re-imburse the Government and
pay the bonds at maturity.
The Industrial Exposition commemora
tive of the Declaration of Indpendence
will be held in the City of Brotherly Love.
YOU are aware that, some time ago, your
Representative, lion. D. J. Morrell, in
troduced, and had passed, by the House, a
bill havino. ' in view the ,National authori
zation for holding this Exposition in the
year 1876, and the fixing •of the city of
Philadelphia as the place. When the bill
came to the Senate, it was referred to the
committee on Foreign Relations, from
which committee it was reported some
days ago. It met with opposition from
, rival localities, but Senators Scott and
' Cameron fought it through the Senate,
despite the violent hostility of Senator
Conkling, of New York, who endeavored,
,by amendments and dilatory motions, to
delay final action upon it, during the ses
sion of the 41st Congress. In the House,
the Senate amendments have been concur
red in under a suspension of the rules.
This result was secured by the active ex
ertions of Mr. Morrell.
On yesterday, 'Senator Scott, on behalf
of the managers, on part of the Senate, ap
pointed to adjust the differences between
the Senate and House of Representatives,
as to the power of the Senate to originate
the bill for the repeal of the Income Tax,
made a lengthy report, covering the whole
question of the relative powers of the two
Houses, in this and like cases. The re
port is a most able one, clearly demonstra.
ting that, notwithstandinc , the seventh
section of the first article of the Constitu
tion may rest in the House of Representa
tives the sole right of originating bills for
raising revenue, is within the Constitu
tional exercise of the prerogative of the
Senate to originate bills to repeal or amend
said laws, or any portion of them. As I
stated in a former letter, this is no new
question. It was discussed at length in
the convention that framed the Constitu
tion, and has been the subject of contro
versy between the respective Houses, on
several occasions since. The Managers on
the part of the Senate and House, respect
ively, have failed to agree. Both have
made reports. That drawn up by Senator
Scott has required a vast amount of labor
and research, guided by the legal acu
men for which he is distinguished. It has
Piet the approval of the Senate. It will
be printed, it having been so ordered.
The House has adopted rsjoint resolution,
repealing the duty on coal. In the Sen
ate, this resolution has been referred to the
Committee on Finance, where it is to be
hoped it will sleep for the few remaining
hours of this session. .
The Public Debt Statement, published
this week, showc a reduction in the amount
since March 1, 1870, of one hundred and
seventeen millions of dollars. This is the
financial record of this Administration.
Think you, the people will be indifferent
as to this decrease of the public burden ?
Will they not say to President Grant,
"Well done.good and faithful servant?"
Last night, at a caucus of the Republi
can members of the House of Representa
tives, elected to the XLIId Congress, all
the officers of the XLlst Congress were
placed in nomination. Of course, they
will be elected.
All the members of the Joint High
Commission, on behalf of Great Britain
having arrived, they will meet those ap
pointed on behalf of the United States, on
toquorrow, in a first formal meeting. We
may now hope for an amicable settlement
of the questions at issue between the two
Governments. .
Your correspondent, although he has
passed the apex of the hill of life and is
going slowly down on the other side, re
alizes that he is every day learning some
thing from observation. In his youth, his
vivid imagination painted to his mind's eye
a great lord of England in the enjoyment of
unbounded wealth and very slightly restrict
ed power. lie pictured him as something
only a little lower than the angels in fault
lessness of person, and dazzling attire.
Well, he has now had a look at a squad of
these dignataries, on the floor of the Sen
ate, bought vis-a-vis with our "men in au
thority," and let him assure you, the con
trast has been damaging to the 'my lords.'
Power -and wealth, with them, are heredi
tary, but, if "looks" are the same, their
great grandfathers were not "beauties."
The situation of affairs in many of the
Southern States is really deplorable. Ap
peal after appeal comes up -for protection
from outrages perpetrated, by organized
bands of ex-rebels, against the life and
property of those who were loyal. without
even the fear of punishment. The hearts
of these conquered traitorsare so thorough
ly imbued with the venom of rebellion that
concessions and kindnesses seem to *have
produced no real penitence for their trea
son. With them there exists no sincere
attachment to the old Flag. Regrets for
defeat outweigh sorrow for having conspir
ed against the life of the Nation. A
forced obedience to the laws is necessa
ry, else it were as well to yield to the reb
els of the South all for which they fought.
The spirit of rebellion still lives, and must
be held in subjection by that strong arm
which thwarted treason. The loyal freed
men must be educated, and protected in
the enjoyment of their political rights.
The enfrn nchicod colored men of the South
ate 'the sincere friends of the Government.
To the loyal whites and the loyal colored
race, in that section, we can only look for
a patriotic devotion to the Union.
KEYSTONE.
THE GERMANS IN PARIS!!
IW OPPOSITION OFFERED !
Mournful Aspect of the City!
SHOPS CLOSED & WINDOWS CURTAINED!
MEN AND WOMEN IN TEARS!
THE HUMILIATION COMPLETE!
P.m 's, March l .—Thc head of a column
of the Eleventh Corps, under Gen. Vonbos,
is just entering Pont du Jour and Pont
Mailot. and is moving toward the Arc de
Triomphe. Ng hostile movement of the pop
ulace has yet been seen, and the prospect
of a collision is diminishing.
Last night a rumor prevailed that the
enemy had given up the intended occupa
tion, and it found credit in many quarters.
The completion of the preparations and
the activity of the authorities, however,
forbade hope in the truth of the rumor.
The scenes in some portions of the city
beggar description. Excited crowds had
gathered at Montmartre and . Belleville
nearly all night listening to incendiary
speeches and shouting defiance at the
Prussians.
Since Vinoy's proclamation the best part
of the National Guard have been active
in perfecting barricades as safeguards
against the aproach of armed crowds to the
line marked out by the Germans. At an
early hour in the morning preparations
were completed.
This morning the streets presented a
singular appearance from the absence of
people and the almost entire desertion of
the line of march except by strong bodies
of regular French troops,who occupied the
triangle during the night, with the inten
tion to fall back on the advance of the
Prussians and taking position commanding
the approaches to the line.
The Paris press, which is beginning to
fear the consequences of its rash utterances,
is making a last appeal to the people to
abstain from acts likely to bring a terrible
disaster upon France without improving the
position or altering the result.
At the appointed hour (10o'clock) the
first representive corps of the victorious
army entered within the enciente under
the eye of his Imperial Majesty in accor
dance with the programme, favored by
splendid weather. The Eleventh Corps num
berinc,' 30,000, with ninety-six pieces of
field artillery and the usual proportion of
cavalry, under the command of General
Von Bose,
advanced in two columns, one
at Pont Nuilly and the other at Pont de
Jour. The former advanced at a pretty rapid
pace up the avenue of the Grand! Armee
directed for the Arc de Trionithe, the
French troops vacating the street; as the
Germans approached. The other column, en
tering at Pont du Jour, below 2uteniel,
commenced its march along the may on
the north side of the Seine dircetfor the
Place de la Concorde, where the rendez
vous of the two columns is fixed. the zone
surrendered to the Germans was almost
entirely free of French. -
. .
Nothing could exceed the splenlid ap
pearance of the troops despite tie hard
service thay had seen. The rest gforded
them during the armistice seems b have
obliterated most of the traces of fie cam-
The shops are closed and the aspect of the
city is desolate. The Nationals ate posted
as piquets on every avenue with lines of
sentries across the streets to prevent sol
diers going beyond the line of demarcation.
From 10 to 12 o'clock a. m., tho same
aspect was presented with more people in
the streets in small crowds, and with more
Nationals on duty. At Rue Royal:, Rivoli
and Place de la Concorde are doable lines
of wagons, cutting off communicatbns with
civilians, who are allowed to pass the
champs Elysees. Most of the women out
are in mourning and going to mass. The
men are depressed in spirts, and conversa
tion is on the unfortunate state of Paris
and France but no threats against the
Germans. At 8 o,clock a. m., hardly a
person was seen. All the houses are closed.
At 9a. m., the head pf the Prussian
advance was seen rounding the Arc de
Triomphe. To the suprise of the for who
were present, both men and women were
seen hurrying away in tears and only boys
and a few workmen were left,
The German Htissars galloped down
every avenue leading to the Champs Ely
sees to search the streets branching there
from. Not the slightest attempt at dis
turbance occurred and the conduct of the
people was admirable. About 4,001 infan
try and cavalry only advanced. There was
no music, but a drum was beat and a
trumpet sounded. A. splendid body of men
whose equal to household troops, halted
opposite the Valais de Industrie, which
was at once taken possession of by the
Hussars. A fe.v Uhlans ride down to the
Place de La Concorde, where they view
with derision the faces of its statues
covered with crape. _ _ _
The Germans are astonished at the
mournful aspect of the city and the deser
tion of the streets.
The only incident observed was the
following; A Frenchman respectably dress
ed went up to a Hussar sentinel and spoke
to the soldier who replied civilly, when a
workman near beat and kicked the former
severely, and uttered cries of assassin. The
German officer only laughed.
• At precisely thirteen minutes past eight
the first Prussians were inside of Paris. pi
redly within the.gates six Hussars spread
out and came up the avenue Grand ..krince
at a rapid trot, sometimes breaking into a
hard gallop. Ten paces in advance of these
rode a young officer about twenty years of
ager4Word in hand. It is said he was select
ed in honor of, and in reward for his
great personal bravery in the field. The
men carried carbines resting on their
thighs. On they came at a rattling pace.
The young leader looked so gallant I
could not help admiring him.
A small party dashed to the Are de
Triomphe and under it they went without
drawing bridle, over heaps of stones and
sand which had been left if possible to
prevent their passage. They reined sharp
up at the top of the Champs Elysees with
the Tuilleries in front. As I hurried to
ward the Are de Triomphe I saw another
officer with a trumpeter at his side, gal-.
loping up the avenue, and behind them at
a: little distance, a dozen Hussars. A cloud
of infantry was seen approaching, but at
such a distance that the little squad of cav
alry was for a moment entirely unsuppor
ted.
When I reached the Are I naked the
young officer his name. He replied po
litely, Lieutenant Von Bernardy of the
Fourteenth Hussars. As he was speak
ing his Captain joined the party. There
was an expression of excited satisfaction
about both, but no swaggering. After a
minute piquets were detached to each
avenue. The men started on a gallop, but
soon returned with reports. Bernardy sat
coally stroking the mane of his horse with
his sabre, not noticing the rapidly grow
ing crowd, which his arrival had provoked.
More Hussars soon came riding up. By
half-past eight the whole squadron had
assembled on the .Neuilly side of the Arc.
A mob of 200 looked on with a mixture
of indifference and indignation. There was
no external sign of rage.
At a quarter of niue the staff arrived
with General Von Kamecka in front, fol
lowed by fifty officers of all sorts of uni
forms. They did not stop, but rode down
the Champs Elsees to the houie of Queen
Christina, where the headquarteis Were
established. One of the officers, Count
Waldersee, halted to shake hands with
one of our group, an Englishman. They
chatted a few minutes, but directly after
the Prussian had passed this gentleman
was attacked by three men in blouses but
he managed to keep his temper.

MuswAr..—"Amoug the thousand and
one Pianos offered to the public, we scarce
ly know any instrument so fully uniting
all the desirable qualities sought fer as
the Knabe Piano. It is a matter of some
difficulty and perplexity to inexperienced
persons to sel .ct a good instrument of any
capacity. We too often rely upon the
judgment of friends in the selection of
a Piano, and are thus frequently disap
pointed. The only sure way. in our opin
ion, is to go to the best maker. For this
reason, we recommend to our readers to
purchase Pianos of William Knabe & Co's
manufacture. This will relieve them the
vexatious necessity of wasting time in a
long search. The reputation of the
Knabe Pianos is an infallible guaranty of
excellence. In the houses of the most ac
complished and wealthy of our citizens, and
in our best seminaries and colleges, these
magnificent instruments may be found.
Nor is this any wonder, for, in purity,
depth and consistency in tone, they are
unsurpassed. Their gradation of scale is
so exquisitely, and, at the same, compre
hensively attuned, that they are capable
of expressing every emotion of the human
heart and soul. Their tone is exquisitely
pure and unique, and so even, sweet and
sympathetic that it inspires all who listen
to it, while at the same time the action is
perfectly free, and the keys resound to the
touch with such sensitiveness and intelli
gence, so to speak, as to make one almost
think that the mind of the manufacturer
lingers in his work.
