AN APPEAL FOR WORKINGMEN.
Do the members of the General Assem
bly of Pennsylvania know that the eyes of
every workingman in the State is turned
upon them for relief from the terrible or
deal which they are now passing through
and that is turning many of them out,
homeless and houseless, to beg or steal ?
If ever, in the history of that body, it was
necessary to come to the relief of that glass.
which seldom asks anything at its hands,
that time has arrived. Good times, fair
wages, and general thrift made the work.
ingman an easy liver. Generally speaking
he acquired a small homestead and built
and furnished a small, comfortable house.
This gave him a certain amount of credit.
which, when pressed from one quarter en
abled him to borrow in another, and thus
he went forward, living at a rate equal to
his income. It is a well known fact that
this is the case of nine men out of every
ten in every not purely agricultural com
munity. Very few men fail to live up to
their income. Yet they may go on acqui
ring 'property from year to year, and may
at times have a large amount of it on
hands, but when the final settlement comes
they have nothing left. This final settle
ment takes place once in ten or twenty
years. The country is now passing through
one of those settlements, generally known
as panics, and five men out of every six,
if pushed to the wall to make settlement,
owing to the great depreciation of proper
ty and the general profligacy before sta.
ted, must becoma insolvent. The con
templation of such a state of affairs is any
thing but agreeable, but so it is.
Distress must ensue. The wealthy find
their investments depreciated to perhaps
fifty cents on the dollar, no market for
their products, and those who are indebted
to them unable to pay, consequently they
reduce their expenses, and those who la
bored for them are turned adrift, and the
thrifty man who has a large family de
pending upon him for support, is turned
out of employment, and when the small
fund that has been accumulated is exhaust
ed, to supply his wants, he is obliged to
give an obligation which puts him at the
mercy of his creditors, and before he knows
it his household goods are sacrificed for a
song, and he and his family are set in the
street. -
It is not the idle and vicious that -are
praying loudly for help, but the thrifty
and energetic. Men who have labored all
their lives, and are willing to labor. But
there is nothing for them to do. Facto
ries and mines have stopped. Building
has ceased. Every industry which has
heretofore afforded employment is idle or
lagging. And are the people who have
added so much to our material wealth all,
or nearly so, to be made beggars ? No,
no. No State can afford to do anything
of the kind. No State can encourage
mendicancy or crime.
We appeal to the Legislature to pass.a
General Stay Law, and also shield these
men from the iniquitous Waiver of Ex
emption Judgment Note. The Exemption
Law of 1849, which was wisely provided
for their benefit, and which would save
thousands of them to-day, is a dead letter,
made so by the creditor and the decisions
of the Courts. - If the Stay Law of 1819
was found to be a wholesome measure, at
that early period, we would think it would
be doubly so now. Let the Legislature
act at once and save thousands from wreck
and ruin.
Workingmen, your sole dependence is
in the General Assembly. Flood it with
petitions until your prayers are granted .
Now is the time to act. Go to work and
work with a will.
THE fight on the Amnesty Bill, in the
Lower House of Congress, last week, was
fierce and aggravating, and resulted in a
terrific defeat of the ex-rebel and dough
face Democracy. Blaine was master of
the situation, and he made them show
their teeth and then laughed at them for
their folly. B. F. Hill was put forward
as the ex-rebel champion and he manufac
tured political thunder for several cam
paigns. We learn from the late mails
that an amnesty bill will be introduced at
an early day that will pass without oppo
sition, both parties having agreed to its
provisions.
THE Monitor was very explicit in sta
ting that Joseph G. Isenberg, esq., paid
$225 to Messrs. Douglass and Bardine,
but was not equally explicit in stating that
Mr. Speer had paid Mr. Douglass $l5O to
.re , him to withdraw in favor of Mr. Cun
ninghani. If so, why not, wherefore
THE editors of the Monitor are sore over
their prosecution. We sympathize with
them, but why in the world permit it to
crop out iu your paper? Every reader
simply ejaculates, "SORE 1" and that is the
Pud of it. Why let people know it ?

THE INAUGURATION.
At Harrisburg, on Tuesday last, John
F, Hartranft was inaugurated, for the sec
ond time, as Governor of Pennsylvania,
amidst the greatest rejoicing that has ever
taken place at the State Capital upon a
similar occasion. The military display
was one of the finest ever witnessed in the
State, while numerous political clubs from
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and other places,
together with several societies and the dire
department of Harrisburg, contributed to
swell the thousands (,f admirers of
Pennsylvania's Centennial Governor. The
procession marched over a large portion
of the city, and presented a grand appear.
ante, as it wended its way to the Capitol,
where tho inaugural services were to Le
performed.
On the appearance of the governor op
the platform "Hail to the Chief" was ren
dered by the band, after which the speak
er pro tem. of the senate introduced Rev. J.
R. Paxton, who delivered an impressive
prayer.
Mr. Errett, chief clerk of the Senate
read the certij - tte of the governor's elec
tion and Judge Henderson administered
the oath of office. The governor then de
livered the following address, after which
the ceremonies were closed with the bene
diction :
Gentlemen of the Senate and Hanse of Represen
tatives and Fellow eitizene :—Three years ago,
when the oath of office was administered to me as
Executive, I took occasion to express the sense of
my infinite obligations to the people of the State
who had honored me with repeated proofs of their
confidence and good opinion, and it would be un
worthy affectation if I did pet pow renew my ac
knowledgments to the sanAgenerous constituency,
who, after a three years' stewardship of the high
est office in their gift, have called me again to as
sume its important duties.
The continued favor and inflexible support my
conduct of public affairs has reoeived frees the
citizens of the Commonwealth, bespeak from me
in return,
the utmost zeal and fidelity in their ser
vice, and my highest ambition will be reached if
my administration will be remembered as an hon
orable one that studied and provided for their
best intonate, I still have as exalted an opinion
of the great trust you have conferred upon me as
when first confronted with its novel and grave
responsibilities, and desr , te the experience had,
am none the less distrustful of my abilities to meet
its requirements, but whatever may be my other
deficiencies, I do not know what it is to be want
ing in attachment to my State, or affection for her
people who have distinguished me with so many
obliging and conspicuous marks of partiality.
lam not unmindful that the welfare and pro
gress of a State depend less upon its government
and rulers than upon the habits and circumstances
of its citizens, and that no measure, of adminis
tration can produce any substantial good unless
they are dictated by public opinion or are begot
ten of the public neccsssties. A people must be
ripe for reform or reform can work them no per
manent benefit. Invention luny exhaust itself in
contrivances of public utility and rulers may be
never so wise in their devices, but if the disposi
tions and int.illigence of a people are unprepared
for the reception of remedies they will not take
root in their affections or affairs,
Imbued with these convictions, the maxims for
the conduct of my administration were easily
formed. It was only necessary to resolve that its
acts should have no selfish taint, that they should
be colored by no personal predilections or warped
by any favoriie theories, and that inspired neither
by fear nor.favor they should aim to reflect the
people's will. With the lights with which Heaven
has endowed to I hove striven to adhere to these
maxims, and if at any titan I have failed to con
form thereto it has not been from lack of patient
investigation and honest exertion or of a tender
and jealous regard for the honor of the State but
from a misconception or misapprehension of the
wishes or needs of her people, In the future then,
as in the past, as the Executive of the Commons
wealth, I can have no interest to serve that is not
her interest, and can embrace no doctrine or em
bark in an 7 cause that will not advance the
material prosperity c;d promote the enlightenment
of her citizens.
My opinions upon the questions #34 effect the
government of the State have been Fireberte#
my annual message and it is unnecessary to again
refer to them.
When we look around us, gentlemen of the Legis
lature, how various, multiform and intricate arc
the interests of our great Commonwealth. Cer
tainly it is a proud distinction to be chosen to ad
minister the affairs of a State that ha's within her
limits so many of the elements of empire and it.
behooves us to see to it that neither its dignity or
prosperity suffer through any default of ours. Let
us remit no effort that will enlarge the happiness
or benefits of her citizens; let us he distinguished
by loyalty to her inloreel ,, , by a jealous care of
her institutions, a liberal understanding of and
provision for her necessities, by humane attention
to the wants of her pour and afflicted, and enlight
ened treatment of her criminal classes, and by a
tolerance of opinion, political and religious, co
that when we are discharged of our trusts we can
deliver them to our successors with the approval
of our consciences, and, let us hope, with the bless
ings of a grateful people.
With this renewal of my obligations as your
Executive, I invite the earnest and active co-op
eration and counsel of all good citizens, and im
plore that my official acts may have the sanction
of Divine Providence.

Vigorous efforts are mime by the Benevolent Societies to
provide for the helpless poor, before the cold, which we
are taught will strengthen as the days begin to lengthen.
Soup-houses aro set up in different parts of the city, where
a hot, nourishing meal is given for about six cents I and
several decent free lodging-houses afford shelter for the
homeless, deserving poor : leaving the station-houses for
professional tramps and beggars. Two things are want
ing w make the life of the poor in New York and else
where anything but intolerable wretchedness. The first
is decent lodgings, and provisions at a low rate. It is
true that rents and expenses in general are three times as
high here as they are in London : a fact which weighs
heavily on the rich, and is all but extinction to the poor.
High rents force the price of everything up to correspond,
in order to pay them. Nor need any of your readers think
this is a matter which does not concern them ; for the ten
dency of prices, of work and produce, in other towns, tends
to that of the great centres. Servants measure their wages,
by the prices in New York. There isn't a village where
this is read, that people do not charge as near the regular
rates of the cities, as they dare. There is not a town is
the etatee, that is not interested, for its own sake, in the
condition of things here; because it must feel their influ—
ence sooner or later. The only comfort of bard times, is,
that they must bring living down for rich and poor. The
extortion of rents charged in tenement houses is frightful.
It is a fact that the swarming, squalid tenements on filthy
streets bring in more rent than up-town dwellings. Not
an acts.: closet, with half the glass out of the panes, grimy
and decayed, but brings its four dollars a month to its
owner. And there will be forty rooms in a building, the
decentet ones calling for ten dollars to fifteen dollars a
month; this, in the poorest class of tenements.

One murder breeds another. The pistol, knife and blud
geon have been very busy from the day before New Years
till now, and the police reports show no abatement oven
yet. One frenzied man shoots his wife, cute the throats
of his four children, and then kills himself, which last
murder was the only one that the world need be thankful
for. The number of grog-shop homicides New Year's eve

TERRIBLE MURDER
on record was that at the Westminster Hotel, Saturday
night. Romaine Dillon, a wealthy and first-tamily batch
elor of fifty, shot a gentleman named Di!liter in the cor
ridor of the hotel, after a moments altercation, the victim
dying in a few hours. The singular thing about it is, that
the parties had no quarrel—indeed they scarcely knew
each other. Dillon was offended with Dilliber for walk
ing in the corridor—understand they were both boarders
—and had shown his displeasure all day. fleeting Dilli—
ber that evening, he ordered him to get out of the corri
do:, which Dilliber refused to do, whereupon Dilluu drew
his Derriu6r end shut him. Now the fact comes out. It
appears that Dillon has been iusane fur years—that when
he wa+ boarding at the Brovuurt nod., he wits iu the
habit of quarreling with the boarders on the most absurd
pretexts, which created such a fear of him that the man
agers were compelled to get rid of hint. He showed mur
derous propensities then, but never a word was said about
it, and he went to the Westminster. r'ince he has killed
a matt the proprietor States that this lunatic has been for
a year in the habit of ordering people away from the
house; that if any one walked in the corridor in front of
his room he would ; eremptorily older him away, and if
he declined to obey, he would shoot at him as though he
were a dog. But never a word of all this was said to any
one by the proprietor. The Dillon family are profoundly
grieved that poor pilliber was killed, but they were always
afraid that something of the sort would happen. They
always knew that poor Romaine Was crazy, and they kept
away from hint, but they never said anything itbctit' it, for
the subject was painftll to Pegg. (If epare , , Pillon will
be put in an asylum, but had I the making of
the laws, I should provide fur the punishment el' several
other parties. The proprietors of the lirevuort anti West
minster hotels would go up for not putting this murder
cue lunatic where he could harm nu one. Then I would
send up the entire Dillon family fur not letting the world
know that their brother was crazy, and always had been,
and that it was dangerous to have him ruuuing loose.

You have all heard of "Vinegar Bitters." The proprie
tor, or one of them, is a man named Walker, who mar
ried a wife in California. In making this horrible•tasting
medicine, "Dr." Walker has amassed a large fortune, for
his 'bitters" tasted W bacily that people supposed there
must be virtue in them. But "Dr." Wal4erts love for Mrs.
Walker did not increase as rapidly as his lucre. In fact
he got to despitefully using her, so she claims. lie refused
to allow her money as she desired, and, as she further
avers, he Beecherized and squandered the ducats that
should have been her comfort upon other women. Bite
drags him into court, and swears that be is squandering
his fortune at the rate of 9100 per day, and that if he is
pot restrained be will run it all out. Now comes Walker'.
story. He avers that he Is not only chaste, but fastid
iously se; that Mrs. Walker is a naughty woman, wbo
makes appointments with ;other men, and does not in any
sense live to the agreement she made when shp took him
for better or worse. And so the courts have got "Dr."
and Mrs. Walker. and the lawyers will have fat picking.
Both are able to pay, and if the profits of Vinegar Bitters
are not distributed among the legal fraternity, all preced
ent is at fault.

THE LAST FRAUD
which agitates mercantile circles is the lately-discovered
defalcation of Beckwith, the confidential man of Babbitt,
the soap manufacturer. Beckwith was in the habit of
paying out $1,300 and entering the payment
for $13,000! pocketing the difference. This little
game went on till he had stolen over $500,000 ! Babbitt
and lie quarreled one day, and Babbitt discharged him—
not for the theft, for he knew nothing about that—and
Beckwith went into hiding. Babbitt's suspicions were
not aroused for three months after Beck — ith'e departure,
when an investigation was had, and the stealing was
unearthed, and Beckwith arrested. Whet is curious
about it, is the fact that abusiness manlike Babbitt should
permit defalcations to so great an amount to go on so long
without any Ories knowing anything about it. He was in
the habit of going away trom his business for months,
leaving cheques signed in blank,Whieh kir. Beckwith filled
up with any amount he saw fir, and appropriated the
money as he pleased.
This was paralleled a few months ago by a man in the
employ of a well-known importing house. He was on a
salary of $1,500 a year, but, nevertheless, he kept three
horses and two women, and ran through with $150,000 of
his emplorers money in three years. When the defalca
tion was ifiecovered - th,3 young gentleman was safely away,
and the firm could not settle their business without him.
So they got into correspondence with him, and forgav e
him on condition that he would return and so explain his
his stealing that they could get their books straightened
up. He good naturedly did it, for ho had nothing against
them ! Why Beckwith did not get away with his plunder
is C mystery. The idiot never left the city. Mr. Babbitt
is entitled to no sympathy. The merchant who runs Isis
business so carelessly offers a premium to thieves.
The authorities are making a raid on the Lottery-deal
ers, and are worrying that honorable fraternity fearfully

kind of chance. The famous Kentucky Library scheme
was sold five times in this city alone, to the extent of over

Few persons over think of the labor it takes to most
the convenience of a large city. With dusk the laborers
of the day wend their way home, but another army is
ready to take its place. A host of sweepers and cleaners
take possession of the streets at dark, companies with
broom and shovel work on the croesings, while the street
sweeping machines hurry and clatter Past like light artil

,width a street, just as a mowing machine rakes up grass.
Then the scavengers with their Foaled wagon-tanks ply
their unsavory tasks without, as of old, making the night
hideous with their passage. The hundreds of private
watchman take pp their patrol, and the battalliens of
night police file to their posts, dropping a man at each
atatam as they pass. Scores of night reporters are on the
move, silent, unnoticed and alert, till two in the morning

goes on by night and day the same. The printing offices
of the morning papers begin their work about nine in the

the counter whit hhi batch of dailies to be left at up-town
doors. My newsman was shutting np his stand the other
night as I went by at early winter's dusk and at he
obligingly unlocked his door to give me the last ilarper,

Au experienced thief however, is harder to catch, for ho
knows all about it as well as the detective does,his woman
would uo more go straight to her man than she would de
liver him to the police, for she knows that she is being
watched. • She never goes out except she must, and she
doubles, and turns like a fox that her trail may not be
discovered. It is a sharp detective that can follow the
track of an experienced thief's wife or mistress. She
knows that she is considered as a very, imporbtut party, and
she watches herself, just aselosely as the thief does him

Another Week Without Any Legislation—The.
Organization of Committees Complete—The
louse Makes a Centennial Committee of Sev.
enty-Siz—Promises of Busy Times—Over Two
Bundred Bills Introduced Already—The In
augural Ceremonies.
IlAaustwaa, January 15 1876.
Yesterday the Senate closed its second week by ad
journing to next Monday evening, and to-day the House
fiiilowed suit. In the Senate the old of f icers were mostly
all retained, the now members being required to stand
back, the committees received a complete revision and
are now in working order. The hones, proceeding to be
gin anew with its business,has !Kt its organization intact.
The State Treasurer, and Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund, have presented their reports, and it has become
apparent that sours of the money going to the Sinking
Fund must be diverts! to the general fund or the State
intuit increase taxation, which, with the large revenues
flowing into her treasury, it would:be unjust to do.—
Senators are limited in postage stamps and the Legisla
ture Is pecuniarily embarrassed in a way to make them
feel that the State coffers are empty and that they have
but to pass a resolution, defeated last winter, to get enough
to settle board bills. McClure, the impecuriouaity of the
Souse, may compel them to do this.
The Superintendent of Public Instruction has also made
his report, and so far Pennsylvania has eolvcd the prob
lem of the Bible in the schools, satisfactorily, by appoint
ing a time near the close of the school when it can be
road, and if there are those who are displeased by it, they
aro given an ppportun. ty to leave.
SENATE PROCZEDINUS.
Among the most important bills introduced in the Sen
ate are the following: An act allowing defendants to
testify in criminal cases, extending the privileges of the
witness stand to cases of murder, arson, burglary and
other felonies.
In view of meeting the requirements suggested by the
Governor, a bill has been introduced for the appointment
of a commission to prepare new charters for the cities ••f
the State, and a special committee has been appointed to
devise the beat possible means to du away with the cor
ruption that they foster. In furtherance of the same
project, a bill has been introduced requiring estimates to
be made to March lot, of every year. for fiscal expendi
tures and no extra appropriation shall be passed without
there is money enough to meet all demands raised by the
taxes levied under the general appropriation.
The labor question does not seem to have a proper head,
several bills have been introduced, one of which will pre
vent conviction on evidence similar to that in the Siney &
Parks case, In which "hindering" was considered con
spiracy. An impracticable bill relative to the appoint
ment of a board of arbitrators lass also made its appear
ance.
Bills for the appointment of a State entomoligist, who
is to find out the habits of the potato bug and the best
means of their destruction, also the organization of a
State Board of Health, have been introduced.
MUSE PROCEZDINGS.
This body has evinced considerable tact in making the
best out of things they cannot change, and the amount of
work they propose to do is enormous. The first day one
hundred and fifteen bills were introduced, over one.fourth
the number of last session, am. the week has been a fruit
ful one. A. session till May could not dispose of all of
them.
— Tie new County Bill, Boom 8111, Judges' Salary Bill,
etc., have been started from both Senate and House. A
great deal of the confusion of last years' session has bean
done away with, and bumcombe resolutions do not meet
with much favor. If they persist in their present course
they may retrieve some of the reputation they lost last
winter. The inaugural ceremonies will be very line, and
a large display of the military will be had. The Young
Men's Republican Club will give a gland ball in the even
ing at the Masonic Hall.
The laws relative to the growing evil of vagrancy are
receiving attention, and by the end of the session the
tramp !Meanoe will have its cure.
Eulogistic resolutions of &whirl Dinuniek, the late At
torney General, have been adopted and engrossed fur the
family of the deceased.
The House increased the number of the Centennial
Committee from '25 to 76, one member being anxious to
make 201. B.
