WHILE Mr. Krupp, the celebrated Ger

the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia,
in 1876, in conversation with a large num•

future prospect or the iron trade was
discussed. Mr. Krupp compared it to
Pharoah's dream, that every seven years
a change would occur—seven years feast
and seven years famine ; and predicted
that in 1878 the entire iron trade would
receive an impetus and reach such a
height in 1881 never before known to the

THE passage of the Silver bill by the
Senate, on Saturday morning last, created
a terrible howl among the organs of the
wealthy class. In the leading cities there
was scarcely an exception. Every fellow
who can sling ink thinks that he must rave
and swear for the bond holders and mo

statures that we can learn the extent of

at any time since the panic. The
people have won a signal victory. Let them
rejoice.
CARPENTER'S picture of the Emancipa
tion Proclamation, containing actual por
traits of President Lincoln and the mem
bers of the Cabinet at that time, was for
mally presented to Congress by Mrs. Eliz•
abeth Thompson,of New York,on Tuesday
of last week. Both Houses were convened
together for the purpose, wi th the Vice-Pres-
Went in the chair, and speeches were made
bt Kt Garfield of Ohio and Mr. Stephens of
Georgia, both members of the House. By
the first the presentation address was made
an behalf of the donor, and the gallant and
eloquent Union soldier took care to make
Sheri/Wet of his subject. But the greatest
setisation was produced when the aged and
fragile member from Georgia was wheeled
into the arena and addressed the crowded
audience. Mr. Stephens was the Vice
President of the Rebel Confederacy during
its existence, yet he warmly and freely
eulogized the great act of emancipation
performed by Mr. Lincoln, and accepted
its results as one of the greatest of our
national blessings. By the ratification of
the Thirteenth Amendment the object of
the proclamation was carried into full
effect, and it can never be reversed. The
speaker made an appeal for fraternal and
nested feeling in the future that proved
that he, at least, is fully reconciled to the
failure of the Sodthern rebellion and the
complete restoration of the oonn try. The
picture is to be kept permanently in an
appropriate position in the capitol.
TSLZ bill prescribing the mode of fixing
the-salaries of County Superintendents of
Common Schools came up on second read
ing /wile House on Wednesday. There
was much feeling manifested says a cor
respondent in its passage, and an animated
discussion of its merits and demerits took
place which was participated in by Col.
Tyler of Crawford, Mr. Eberh art of Beaver
and Mr. Steward of Lawerence. Col.
Tyler offered an amendent proposing to
make the salary of the Superintendent five
dollars for each school in any of the cone
ties. He supported his amendment by
showing that the number of schools in
each county should be the basis upon
whici to fix the salaries of County Super
intendente—that in those Counties having
large territory the average term of school
is lower than in smaller counties having a
ntneli larger number of schools—that the '
number of schools is the proper measure
of the Superintendent's work, and that the
differetee in the number of miles is rather
an incident of the business than a valid
basis upon which to fix the salary. The
bill in its present shape provides that the
salary of each County Superintendent shall
be two dollars for each school and seventy.
five cents for each square mile of territory
in his county; provided that the salary of
a County Superintendent shall in no case

The last week's session has been one of more
than the usual amount of work. Bills have
been repeatedly advanced upon the calendar,
and several have been finally disposed of. A
summary of the most important measures runs
as follows : The Local Option Bill after a full
and free discussion was defeated on second
reading, by a vote of 75 in favor to 76 against.
The bill to pay the military expenses of the
riots, after being amended so as to give ail of
fices below a Colonel a full month's pay when
ten days or over had been served has passed
both Houses finally. A bill imposing a tax of
eent per gallon on crude petroleum oil has
passed first reading in the House. Should this
bill become a law it will create a revenue of
about $1,200,000 per annum.
The general appropriation bill has passed
through the House and is now in ties Senate
undergoing some pruning and grafting. For
final patchwork it will be sent to a committee
of conference.
The constitutional amendment proposed by
Senator Newmyer, of Allegheny county, cut
ting down the number of Representatives to
100 and the number of Senators to 33 ran in.
to a snag in the Senate on Wednesday, but
was engineered out and into committee again
where it will possibly slumber for a good
while.
Senator Jona!, has iutroduced a bill making
an appropriation of $15,000 toward the Cen
tennial celebration of the entry of the Conti
nental army into Valley Forge. A large num
ber of citizens from that vicisity were here, in
the interests of that measure.
An important measure is the bill now pend
ing in the House to facilitate the prompt,col-
Jection of taxes. It provides that collectors

after ten;days notice shall personally demand
the taxes from each person or corporation
within two months from date of notice, and
any person paying taxes within that time shall
be entitled to a reduction of 5 per cent. In
case of taxes remaining unpaid after the expi
ration of the notice 5 per cent. is to be added,
but the authorities are to have the power to
exonerate the added 5 per cent. for the same
causes as exonerations may be made under
existing law.
County Superintendents of Common Schools
will be interested in the following legislation
which has passed two readings iu the House.
It provides that the salary of County Superin
tendents shall be $2.00 for each school in
their jurisdiction and 75 cents for each square
mile of territory in the couu,ty, provided, that
no salary shall be less than $BOO, and in coun
ties with over 100 schoole,not less than $l,OOO.
If county school directors vote a larger salary
the increase must be taken from the county
school fund.
A bill has passed second reading in the Sen
ate giving to all soldiers of the war of 1812, or
their widows the benefit of the pension laws
of this State, notwithstanding they may re
ceive a pension from the United States Govern
ment.
The committee appointed by the Legislature
to investigate the causes and results of the
late riots, have returned to Harrisburg, seek
ing an extension of the time, in which their
work was to be done, and ssking $2OOO, may
pay. They claim to have found a mountain of
work, but whether it will dwindle to a mole
hill, when their report is made remains to be
seen.
Both Houses have adjourned until next
Wednesday, in order to allow members to at
tend the spring elections. B.
Some Radical Ideas.
BY MILTON S. LYTLE,
The slaves of the South were entitled to their
freedom as a matter of abstract right. Abolition
ism in the North could be justified upon no other
grounds. It is the duty of the nation to secure
personal liberty to every individual and class in
every section, and to see that that liberty is not in
terfered with by any local authority claiming to
be greater than the national. States have no re
served rights that deprive or relieve the general
government of this duty. It is the higher law
towards which we are gradually approaching and
to which constituti ,ns and statutes must ultimate
ly conform. It is a duty paramount to all others, and
States must sink, if necessary, that liberty may be
preserved. But it may be said that these ideas,
once so radical, have passed beyond controversy,
that they have been generally recognized and ac
cepted, that they have become almost. axiomatic,
since the adoption of the thirteenth and fourteenth
amendments. Those measares, born of the time,
were, indeed, a great step forward, but do not go
to the extent that justice and a due regard for our
welfare and satety should carry us. The true prin
ciple upon which we must stand as a nation is,
that whatever comes within the sphere of govern.
ment that can be done better by the nation than
by its component parts, separately, shall be placed
entirely under its jurisdiction and control, and
shall be removed from any other authority to which
it may be attached. This may sound like the ex
treme of centralization, but it is the reverse. Cen
tralization, it seems to use, is where there are many
centres instead of one. The government, after all,
is the people, and the governmentcan do no wrong
that the people do not permit. But with nearly
two scores of centralised governments great wrongs
may be committed that the people of the nation
are powerless to prevent. It was so with slavery.
The general government had no right to interfere
with it in the States. It was Lot until long after
it had been abolished by proclamation, as a mili
tary necessity, that the amendment was added
to the constitution prohibiting its existence. The
manner in which it was abolished would not have
been thought of before the war. It was not done
as a matter of right, which the nation could not
refuse to its people, but for the purpose of weak
ening the enemy and compelling him to accept
terms of peace. The States could have retained
their slaves had they laid down their arms upon
the conditions prescribed by the President, the
thirteenth amendment would not have been adopt
ed, and centralization would have perpetuated sla
very.
_ .
On other grounds than those of abstract right,
freedom for the slave may not have been desira
ble, unless he was afterwards to receive the help
and protection of the nation. He had been de
graded by slavery. The institution was fostered
by every ••neans that could be called into requisi
tion. It was necessary to its preservation that the
slave should have the intellect and the soul of a
slave, that he should have no comprehension of,
and no hopes or aspirations for freedom. Abject
servitude was maintained by abject ignorance—an
ignorance enforced by law. Not in reality a brute,
yet his master endeavored to bring him to the lev
el of brutes. It was this that appealed most strong
ly to the sympathies and sense of right of many
who might otherwise have lent a willing ear to the
advocates and apologists of slavery. When a sys
tem of wrong is maintained by force, the destruc
tion of that system becomes inevitable.
The negro came out of bondage with nothing
but this enforced ignorance. How just it would
have been to have divided with him the earnings
of his labor, and the earnings of his ancestors, as
the laws do with other classes, could his lineage
have been traced ! A great proportion of the
wealth of the South is his ! He earned it by the
sweat of his brow. He payed with his own hands
for the plantation of his former master. He rais
ed the tobaooo,.the cotton, the sugar, and the rice
that kept an aristocracy in luxury and himself in
penury. If but a pittanceof what he is entitled to
had been given him, then freedom would have
be,n to him a boon he could have realised and en
joyed.
But to the ignorance that had been bestowed
upon him, and to the poverty from which he was
not relieved, the nation added liberty, Sball we
thus leave him ? This is a vital question in our
politics, appealing to our sense of justice and de
manding a liberal solution. That provision for
his education and for raising hint from his degra
dation should be made by the power that restored to
him the inestimable right of which he had been de
prived, is a proposition so reasonable in its nature
as not to be seriously questioned, I believe ; except
by those who maintain that State supremacy in
such matters is oot to be interfered with or placed
in jeopardy. The inquiry whether the mental im
provement of the colored people of the South can
be more safely entrusted to the general govern
ment, animated as it is by the spirit that made
freedom universal within its limits, or to the St utb
ern States, which entailed upon that people their
intellectual darkness, admits of but one answer.
Education is not a charity, nor is it intended for
the sole benefit of the individual member of society
who may receive it. In providing for public
instruction, the-schools are designed for rich and
poor alike, and not for those alone who must be
instructed at the expense of others, and to the ex
clusion of those whose means might enable them
to provide for themselves were other facilities de
ficient. The policy has been to afford opportuni
ties and to hold out inducements to all to become
educated. The nation has an interest in doing
this, an interest in the welfare, the character and
the intelligence of it. citizens. Upon these its
stability may depend. It is against dangers to
the Union that we must be chiefly on our guard,
and not so much against dangers to the local gov
ernments which we designate as States. That por
tion of our people that is growing into manhood
and citizenship, which is to be governed by, and
which is likewise to Kukla and control, the Union,
should be moulded into harmony with it, so that
it may be homogeneous and that all of its various
parts may be concordant with each other. Shall
we expect this to be brought about through edu
cation by the States Under such a system, the
facilities given for instruction may have a tenden
cy to raise within us a feeling of obligation to the
State rather titan to our eoquinen country. It may
produce the very condition of affairs that existed
in the bouth, and that may exist there still, au al
legiance to the State as between it and the nation.
Compulsory education is peculiarly appropriate
to the present condition of the South. Do you say
it will deprive anybody of liberty there? The ar
guments we advance in favor of the largest liberty
and against the least restriction of human rights,
apply only to mature, intelligent and accountable
beings. I would make the sameexception that John
Stuart Mill does in his great essay on Liberty, "of
young persons below the age which the law may fix as
that of manhood or womanhood. Those who are
still in state to require being taken oare of by oth
ers, must be protected against their own actions
as well as against external injury." The child to
whom it is necessary to furnish instruction, is not
to have the same liberty as the man who has pass
ed beyond the care of the nation in that respect.
The greatest liberty we can grant him, perhaps, is
that of being instructed, during which he must
submit to such restraints as may be required to
make it most erfect. But it may be said that
when the child is compelled to attend school it is
an interference with the liberty of the parent, the
liberty of controlling his own children. This is not
sn invasion of the parent's rights. As a matterof
expediency, It is no doubt eminently proper that
parents ghoul-i ;u most matters have the entire
government of theiV off-spring. They should have
such control in matters of eduoation, perhaps, if
they always had the disposition to require of their
children an attendance at places of instruction and
an attention to ®Ludy. But when this privilege is to
ken from tbem,it is not depriving them of any per
sonal liberty. but merely of the right of control
ling others, ais4 when such a question arises be
tween the parent and tl3e nation the authority of
the latter is superior. In the south pa ticularly
should this authority of the nation be exercised.
There the parents of more than one-half of the
children are 'fillip the depths of ignorance to which
slavery consigned them. Shall these children re
main under parental control for their education,
or shall they not roper be taken under the con
trol of that government that bas ivch a deep inter
est in their mental welfare?

ROCKPORT, _Vass., April 2d, 1877.
MR. EDITOR : Having read in your paper
reports of the remarkable cures of catarrh, I
am induced to tell "what I know about
catarrh," and I fancy the "snuff' and "inhal
ing-tube" makers (mere dollar grabbers)
would be glad if they could emblazon a
similar cure in the papers. For 26 years I
suffered with catarrh. The nasal passages
became completely closed. "Snuff," "dust,"
"ashes," "inhaling tubes," and "sticks,"
wouldn't work, though at intervals I would
sniff up the so-called catarrh snuff, until I
became a valuable tester for such medicines.
I gradually grew worse, and no one can know
bow much I suffered or what a miserable
being I was. My head ached over my eyes so
that I was confined to my bed for many suc
cessive days, suffering the most intense pain.
which at one time lasted continuously for 168
hours. All sense' of smell and taste gone,
sight and hearing impaired, body shrunken
and weakened, nervous system shattered, and
constitution broken, and I was hawking and
spitting seven eights of the time. I prayed
for death to relieve me of my suffering. A
favorable notice in your paper of Dr. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy induced me to purchase a
package and use it with Dr. Pierce's Nasal
Douche, which applies the remedy by hydrosta
tic pressure, the only way compatible with
common souse. Well, Mr. Editor, it did not
cure mein three-fourths of a second, nor in one
hour or month, but in less than eight minutes
I was relieved, and in three months entirely
cured, and have remained so for over sixteen
months. While using the Catarrh Remedy, I
used Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to
purify my blood and strengthen my stomach.
I also kept my liver active and bowels regular
by the use of his Pleasant Purgative Pellets.
If my experience will induce other sufferers to
seek the same means of relief, this letter will
have answered its purpose... Yours...truly,
WOULD YOU BE TREK FROM the tormenting
pains caused by Kidney Disease, use HUNT'S
REMEDY, the great Kidney Medicine. Kidney
Diseases, Dropsy, and all Diseases of the
