Justice. The nomination does not appear
to give general satisfaction.
Par The attention of the reader is in
vited to the prospectus of the Pittsburgh
Evening Telegraph in another column.—
Hon. H. Bucher Swoope, well known to
many of our people, is at the head of it.
It has only been in existence a short time,
and yet its political influence has already
been widely felt. It is one of the livest
and gamest papers that comes to this
offiee.
Ds_ Congressman Todd, representative
at large from Pennsylvania, introduced a
bill in Congress, for the relief of certain
citizens of our State, who suffered losses
from Union and rebel troops during the
invasion of the State by Lee's army. The
sum total of losses, for which the proper
papers are in the hands of the Auditor
General, amounts 81,254,473.30.
NeL,The joint resolution offered by I
13 warm - Davis, of Phlladelphia, and adopt-
ed unanimously by both houses, declares
it to be "the true intent and meaning of
the constitution that the first session of
the general assembly elected under it be
gins on the first Monday of January, 1875,
and that the members of the house of re
presentatives thereof shall be elected in
1874."
26_ The Legislature of this State met,
at Harrisburg, on last Tuesday, and or
ganized by the election of Hon. B. B.
Strang, of Tioga, as Speaker of the Senate,
and Russell Errett, of Pittsburgh, as Chief
Clerk, with a full set of other officers.--
In the House, McCormick, of Allegheny,
was elected Speaker, and Dr. Shurlock, of
Beaver, Chief Clerk, with a full compli
ment of minor officers. Both branches
are decidedly Republican.
ast. Szc. 1 Article VIII, of the new
constitution, in the fourth clause, provides
that a voter "if twenty-two years of age
and upwards," in order to entitle him to
vote "shall have paid, within two years, a
State or county tax, which shall have been
assessed at least one month before the
election." This provision should not be
overlooked iu relation to the coming elec
tion in February for borough and town
.
ship °Seer&
as. His Excellency, Gov. Hartranft,
will please accept our thanks for an early
copy of his first Annual Message, read be
fore the Legislature on last Wednesday.
It is a very temperate and dignified docu
ment which receives the approval of all
parties. It is seldom that a public docu
ment of this description: . is so universally
commended. We congratulate the Gov
ernor on his success in this instance. We
present it to our readers on the outside of
to-day's paper. Let every one, who desires
to be posted in the affairs . _ of the State,
give it a careful perusal.
ON' Gov. Hartranft's message presents
a startling case of the blind leading the
blind. It appears that during the past
year 150,003 persons received certificates
to Leach in the common schools of Penn
sylvania, but of this number "only 374
were found to have a thorough knowledge
of reading, writing, arithmetic and gram
mar." Everybody will agree with the
Governor that there must be a radical
change in the system of licensing teachers
before the common schools can be expected
to furnish even the rudiments of an ordi
nary education. What is true of Penn
sylvania in this respect is equally applica
ble to many other States. Thegreat fault
of the common school system of the coun
try is the low grade of requirements which
is demanded from teachers. The district
shools, as a rule, are occupied by young
men and women who have only a superfi
cial knowledge of the studies they pretend
to teach, and who have never had the
slightest training for their profession. A
reform in this matter has long been greatly
needed, and Gov. Hartran", deserves credit
for calling general attention to the subject.
Normal schools should be established in all
the States in sufficient numbers to fully
supply the common schools with trained
and thoroughly educated teachers.—.K.

CIVIL. RIGHTS AERATES IN THE HOUSE.
Congress re-assembled on Monday, and Alex.
11. Stephens delivered his address, reading from
manuscript, on tho Civil Rights question, denying
the rights claimed by the colored citizens of the
United States. He was allowed and occupied an
hour. The reply of Mr. Elliott, colored, from
South Carolina, occupied about the same length of
time. Mr. Elliott is quite dark, perhaps a pure
African. He is well educated, having received in
England that were, in his younger days, denied
to his race in this country. It is claimed that his
was one of the ablest speeches made in the House
since the commencement of the present session.—
Ho met and exposed, most thoroughly, the soph
isms of Mr. Stephens, and placed the claims of his
race in a very favorable light before Congress and
the country. The debate was continued by oth
ers, and the question is still open.
The Departments, in compliance with the re
quest of Congress, have been busily engaged in
revising the estimates for the next fiscal year, and
large reductions will be made in some of the De
partment estimates, while the Heads of other De
partments report that all their estimates are con
trolled by acts of Congress, and cannot be reduced
until the laws governing the same arc changed.
It is claimed now that reductions can be made
so as to keep the expenditures within the present
receipts of revenue; but in order to secure a re
duction of the public debt, annually, it will be
necessary to increase tho tariff.

has not yet been developed. It is a proper theme
for newspaper discussion, in order to draw out the
public sentiment. Here there is a strongly mani
fested desire to avoid all legislation tending to
increase disbursements or in any way to augment
the expenses of the government.

REDI7CTION OF THE TAXES.
It is interesting to the traveling public to know
that owing to keen railroad competition passen
gers can now travel between Washington and
Pittgiurgh for 53.50, and between all intermediate
places at equally low rates of fare. Not a few have
taken advantage of the low fares already in ma
king a trip into the interior of Pennsylvania and
back, while citizens of that State are coming this
way to spend a few days in signt-seeing at the
Capital of the Nation.
rNusuALLy None.. WEATHER.
Since the first day of January the weather has
been remarkably warm and balmy in the District.
It is quite agreeable to the feelings to sit out upon
the verandas, in the open air, in the evenings,
while on the streets overcoats have been entirely
dispensed with.
The city has become quite gay, by the influx of
Members' families, and receptions, calls, social,les
end evening parties are unusually numerous.

[Special Correspondence of the Pittsburgh Telegraph.]
HARRISBURG, January 9, 1874.
Both houses of the Legislature had only a
short session to day. The needed prelimina
ries for active legislation and law-making are
now nearly all improved. New sets of rules
have been adopted in both branches in con
formity with the stringent requirements of the
new Constitution as to the consideration and
passage of bills, while the committees have
been re-arranged and a number devoted to sub
jects now prohibited (as divorces) have been
abolished. It only remains for the Speakers
of the Senate and House to announce the
Standing Committees, and the real work of the
Legislature in framing and parsing the needed
general lows will commence. The House this
morning, in order to give Speaker McCormick
time to make up his committees, passed ajoint
resolution to adjourn until Wednesday next,
at 11 s. M. The Senate gave ite consent, but
restricted its own adjournment until Tuesday
evening.
For many years the great impediment in the
way of the Legislature getting through its work
speedily and in order, has been the adjourn
ments from Friday noon until Monday even
ing. Virtually it was an adjournment from
Thursday until Tuesday, for but little business
was done on Friday, and only devilment at
the night sessions of Monday. Under this
system three working days were lost every
week, until towards tho close of the session,
when the necessities of special ace-grinding
acquired greater industry. By the new rules
of the House adopted to-day, these weekly ad
journments are limited from Saturday noon
until Monday at two o'clock P. lc, and specific
business is arranged for both days. This ar
rangement was objectionable to the Philadel
phia members, whose favorite day for com
muning with their household gods, is Saturday
and they endeavored through Sam. Josephs to
have the weekly apjournment fixed for Friday,
but the country, and especially the Western
members were immovable, and indicated that
the session was to be one of work and not
of play. By using three days every week,
hitherto wasted, it was claimed that the Leg
islature could get through the vast amount of
business mapped out for it, by the usual time
of final adjoarnmont, in April. Otherwise the
session would run into .y un o or July. Josephs
plead in vain. This is an encouraging sigq,
and fairly indicates what seems to be the al
most unanimous desire of members to push
the work of the session forward with all the
dispatch consistent with an intelligent cone
sideration of business.
Both houses have provided, by their rules, a
novel method for framing laws in accordance
with the new Constitution, and submitting all
bills to the test oj its requirements. This is
to be done by a Committee on Constitutional
Reform, to he composed in the Senate of fif
teen members and in the House of twenty-five.
These committees are to be divided into five
sub-committees—in the Senate of three mem
bers each and in the House of five. Tito chair
man of the general committee is to by chair,
man of the first sub committee, and the chair
man of the five sub-committees are to consti
tute a Revisory Committee. All bills propos
ing legislation to carry out the provisions of
the new Constitution, it is provided by the
rules, are to be refered to this Commttee on
Constitutional Reform and by its Revisory
Committee refered to the appropriate sub
committee. The Revisory Committee is also
directed to allot to each of the sub-committees
a portion of the new Constitution with in
structions to draft the legislation necessary
thereunder. Bills refered to the sub-commit
tees or originating with them, go to the Re
visory Committee for revision, and a majority
of that Committee has power to report any of
such bills to its respective House. The gen
eral Committees of fifteen or twenty-five will
meet at the call of their Chairman for consul
tation.
Of the host of bills passed at the closing
hours of the last session, without any other
consideration for the most part, than their
reading by title, Governor Hartranft does not
seem to have a very high opinion. He sent
into the House eighty-two veto messages, re
turning as many bills without his approval,
and into the Senate seventy-three. They were
nearly all private bills, and many of them from
the west, but are now so worthless it is no use
to give their titles. This probably winds up
the history of this sort of legislation in Pecnr
Sylvania. The Senate went through the veto
messages one by one, and after sustaining the
veto in a single case postponed their consid
eration. The House also got rid of ca/ling the
ayes and nays eighty-two times by postponing
the vetoes, and willprobably not bother itself
any more about them.
Governor Hartrauft appeared in the Senate
chamber this a evening, and announced his
readiness to take the oath to support the new
Constitution. He was escorted to the Clerk's
desk, by Senators Wallace and White, and
the oath was administered by Speaker Strang.
The other State officers have also taken the
sameobligation. The members ofthe House will
be sworn when they re-assemble on Wednesday.
By the new rules of the House adopted to
day, the officers elected at this session (the
Speaker of course excepted) are required to
take the iron clad oath that they will not
knowingly receive directly or indirectly, any
money or other valuable thing, for the per
formance or non-performancet of any act or
duty pertaining to their office. Hitherto there
has been a great deal scandal about jobbery
in gettingbills through the transcribing rooms,
and the purpose of this oath is to avoid it
hereafter, if swearing has potency ae a moral
power. . . .
In answer to numerous letters received by
the Secaetary of the Commonwealth, inquir
ing whether it is compulsory on justices of
the peace to take an oath to support the new
Constitution, Attorney General Dimmick to
day sent the following opinion to the Secre
tary :
OFFICE OF TOE ATTORNEY
GENERAL OF PENNSYLVANIA,
Ilannisnuna, Jan. 9, 1379,
Hon. H. S. Quay, Secretary of the Commonwealth:
In answers to letters of inquiry addressed to you,
and referred to me, as to whether section thirty of
the schedule, new Constitution, viz "All State
and judicial officers heretofore elected, sworn, af
firmed, or in office when this Constitution shall ef
fect, shall severally, within one month after such
adoption, take and subscribe an oath or affirmation
to support this Constitution," embraces Justices of
the peace. It applies to all State and Judicial of
ficers in office at the time of its adoption who must
necessarily have been elected or appointed under
the old Constitution, or laws enacted in pursuance
thereto.
Article V, Section I, of the Constitution title
"Judiciary," provides that "the judicial power of
th 7 s Commonwealth shall be vested in certain
courts therein named, and injustices of the peace
and in such other courts as the Legislature may
from time to time establish."
The Supreme Court has decided that justices of
the peace are judicial officers. They are clearly
embraced within the officers designated in section
30, Schedule, new Constitution, who shall within
one month after its adoption, take awl subscribe
an oath or affirmation to support the new Consti
tution.
The net of June 29th, 1839, provides that kit
ties of the peace shall be sworn or affirmed before
the recorders of the proper counties. It would,
perhaps, be proper that the oath required under
the new Constitution should be taken before the
same officer.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
SAMUEL E. DIMMICK,
Attorney General
The election bill of Senator McClure was consid
ered in the Senate to-day, and modified and chang
ed in many respects. It was ordered printed as
amended, and when it comes up again will be still
further changed. The Senators representing coun
try districts are opposed to the stringent rules
deemed necessary to secure honest elections in the
large cities, and will not permit them to be incor
porated in a general law. They would be useless
and annoying, and the probability is that for this
reason no very effective registry laws can be pass•
ed. The Constitution should have authorised spe
cial registry laws for all cities over a certain pop
ulation, but this wise precaution went under in the
demand for general laws. Why a stringent regis
try may be desirable in a large city is obvious, but
it is equally obvious it is not necessary in the ru
ral districts. Under the new Constitution there
must be the same law for Bill McMullen's district.

A Proclamation.
WHEREAS, In compliance with the act
of the General Assembly of this common
wealth, entitled "An act to provide for the
calling of a convention to amend the con

AND WHEREAS, In compliance with the

J. F. lIARTRANFT.
M. S. QUAY,
Secretary of the Commonwealth,
When is Hon. John Scott's Successor
to be Chosen.
The act of Congress July 25,1866 (Sta
tutes at large, Vol, 14, page 243), "That
the Legislature of each State, which shall
be chosen next preceeding the expiration
of the time for which any Senator was
elected to represent said State in Congress,
shall, on the second Tuesday after the
meeting and organization thereof, proceed
to elect a Senator in Congress. in place of
such Senator going out of office," etc.—
Now Hon. John Scott's term expires March
3d, 1875. The New Constitution ought to
have settled this question.
SEC. 1, of Schedule : "This Constitution
shall take effect on the Ist day of Feb
ruary, 1874, for all purposes not otherwise
provided for therein." Art. 11, Sec, 2d :
"Members of the General Assembly shall
be chosen at the general election every 2d
year," and Sec. IV, that "They shall meet
every second year." By the direct terms
of the Schedule, 1874 is the first year un
der this Constitution : 1875 consequently
is the second year, in November of which
a General Assembly shall be chosen. We
have carefully examined the entire Consti
tution, Schedule included, and can find
nothing to contradict this express dec
laration.
It is true that on the 27th of December
Mr. Buckalew is said to have offered a reso
lution as follows : Resolved, That it is the
sense of this Convention that a session of
the General Assembly, to be held in the
year 1875, will properly be held to be the
first regular biennial session under the New
Constitution." But the Convention had
adopted this instrument November 3,
1873 ; and it had been voted upon by the
people December 16, 1873; the codocil
of Mr. Buckalew's therefore could not
cure the defects. if any existed, in the or
iginal. No rower to alter, amend, or
change, was vested in that body, but then,
the resolution, if such was the intention,
did not go far enough. if any Legsslature
can be in session in 1875, it must be the
one commencing Tuesday next, continuing
to hold office uner the 26th section of the
schedule, providing "that all persons in
office at the adoption of this Contstitution
shall hold until their successors shall be du
ly qualified.
Mr. Buckalew's resolution does not meet
the difficulty; the point was when the
people could elect. If the Assembly can
not be chosen until November, 1875, then
their first session must be in January, 1876.
If Mr. Buckalew's resolution is to be or
ganized in its full force, then its declara
tion is a recognition of the Assembly of
1874, when convened in 1875, to be the
first regular biennial session under the new
Constitution, in which event its duty will
be on the second Tuesday after its organ
ization to elect a successor to John Scott,
now United States Senator. Mr. Bucks
lew's i esolution is an admission of a gross
blunder on the part of the Convention.—
Give that resolution and the terms of the
Constitution itself full force, and they rec
ognize the Legislature of 1874 to be.in
existence until a Legislature chosen on
he second year, to wit : November 1875
shall be qualified.
This would give effect to the language
of the Constitution—the resolution of Mr.
Buckalew—and dovolve upon the Legis
lature of 1874 the election of a successor
to Hon. John Scott.—Lrar. Tel.
Abstract of Report of Surveyor Gen-
The report of the Surveyor General for
the year ending November 80th, 1873,
shows the total receipts of the office for
purchase money, fees, &c., to be $55,615.:
43, an increase of $7,460 over 1872, and
larger in amount than for any year since
1838, excepting the years 1864 and 1870.
939 Patents were issued during the year
covering 153,845 acres.
The matter of bringing suits againt land
owners for moneys due the Commonwealth
for unpatented lands has been postponed
for the present, on account of the financial
troubles; and in the belief that a large
majority of those so indebted will, if fur
ther time be given, pay without being
compelled to do so by suits. The Survey
or General strongly urges all owners of
nnpateated lands to make promptpayment
therefor to the State, and perfect tittle by
application for patent, thus saving inter
est accruing as well as cost of suits.
The notices of liens served during the
embrace 168,000 acres against which the
State has claims amounting to $66,773.
Notices to be served on others are being
made out as rapidly as possible,
Special attention is called to the neces
sity for additional Legislation for the bet
ter protection of land-owners. Under the
present laws parsons make it a business to
search for defects—or what they suppose
to be such--in the titles of others, and in
many such cases they have the required
application executed in some distant place,
where the real owners can have no knowl
edge of the preliminary steps to dispossess
them of their lands, and as the Land De
partment has no connected maps to show
whether the land has been previously tak
en up or not, expensive and tedious litiga
tion has been entailed on many persons
who supposed that all their rights were
covered and protected,
To remedy this evil the Surveyor
General recommends that the witness, as
to the land being improved or nst, should
be a resident of the immediate vicinity of
the land applied for, and that at least
thirty days' notice should be required by
publication in one or more papers of the
county of the fact of the application with
a description of the land, its location and
boundaries.
The Surveyor General believes that this
will not in any way interfere with appli
cations for vacant lands made in good faith,
and in cases where the lands belong to
others it will enable them to caveat against
the issue of a warrant as well as to perfect
any defect shcovn to eltist.
The Surveyor General Rather reccom
mends an extension of the pre-emption
right so as to cover all cleared actually
used by the party in possession, and for
which he pays taxes but by oversight or
want of knowledge has failed to perfect
title by warrant and survey.
Symptoms or Catarrh
Dull, heavy headache, obstruction of nasal
diacharge falling into throat, sometimes profuse, watery,
acrid, thick and tenacious, mucous, purulent, mucopuru
lent, bloody, putrid, offensive, etc. In others a dryness,
dry, watery, week or inflamed eyes, ringing in ears, deaf.
nese, hawking and coughing to clear the throat, ulcera
tions, scabs from ulcers, yojce altered, nasal twang, offer,
sine breath, impaired smell and taste, dizziness, mental
depression, tickling cough, etc. Only a few of the above

BROOKVILLE, Pa., April 27, 1872.
Dr. R. V. PLEneE,
Sir—Having first applied to a number of home physi
cians and faded to get Feller, I resolved to try your
edy. Four bottles have completely cured me of one of
the worst cases of Catarrh of which I have any knowledge,
having suffered for mouths with an acute pain in the
head, and breathed only with the greatest difficulty. I
deem it due you qu welt as suffering humanity that this '
recognition be made of what we deem an invaluable med
icine. CHAS. tr. ANDERSON,
