Tho House of Representatives at H ar risburg having passed a resolution au thorizing the Speaker and Clerk to ap point ftventg-seven additional’officers to lounge about,the House, Forney of the Press is shocked, and objects tn Hie lol lowing language: "Tho Lower House nt i i iiniitui rn line mink lioe'eto passu resolutiononieowurliii; OioSpe .It er and Clerk to appoint an aipiinunal eorpa or employees or otn.-ers, I wont,v-sovan tn auoiiiw What those twenty-seven now servants of tho Slate are wanted for, the reports do imt inform us. What Is the. new naslne.-a wli'eli nee-l.s new olllrers to transact, we are not tnlil. One tlilny we do know. Hint tlte step Is dlslie-K-liil to Oie people. Tlte members who compose tills House wore elected upon a disllnctly-nmlersnstd plat form of economy and retrenchment. 11 they do not Inten I, or cannot carry nut the implied pledge of their acceptance of olllee, they had 1 let ter resign. There are men In every county who can manage the allairs or Hie IViiiinuiiwviiltti with the same economy that is usually shown In a well-arranged business house." The remarks of the Press nre sensible and to the point, imt it“ assertion Hint “■-the meinbeis (the majority,) compo sing this House were eleeled upon a distinctly-understood platform of econ omy and retrenchment." . ..methin : new under the sun. . minmy and retrenchment” cannot L uind in the Hndical vocabulary, and it is a fact sus ceptible of proof tiiat no Radical in a public position dare act tho part of an honest man or even regard ids oatli of olfice without danger of ostracism.— When Fessenden and other lending Re publican Senators stated in their places that they could not conscientiously and in obedience to Hie oatli they had taken Sniles nut ot his'oilin', that should have s iTi-fied any den id mao, and these .senators, instead o! receiving censure an*l abuse, were entitled to commenda tion for their integri.y. But no—party end* and p-uty malignity were to he thought of and oared lor, even if perju ry and dishonesty hud to be resorted to. Mr Fessenden and tint other Republi can Senators who voted with him, were the fathers as well as the brains of the Radical party, but because they could not and would not barter their souls for parly, their political lives were scaled, and from the hour they voted to this day a stream of vituperation and abuse has been =howered upon them,and they, one by one, are cast aside to give place to more obsequious and less conscicn tious tools. And who exhibited more bitterness ! than Forney toward these Senators?— | Who so malignant, so remorseless in j his denunciations of them? And yet I this same editor has the unblushing im pudence to intimate that the Rcpubli- ! cans are the advocates of honesty, econ- j omy and .retrenchment. And lie pre tends to lament the piece, of robbery perpetrated at Harrisburg, by which the State Treasury.is to he. depleted of some twenty or twenty'five thousand dollars, all of which is lo go into the pockets of twenty-seven loil” suckers for doing ifothing ! We repeat, we approve of Forney’* condemnation of this most audacious and infamous robbery of the State Treasury, but we cannot agree with him when he attempts to make it appear that the members of the House who cu b'd fof"this infamy violated any ‘ plat form” or principle of the Republican party. 'Hie public men of that parly have been engaged in stealing from the hour they obtained power, and it lias always been a mysteiy with u* how it comes that the people no longcr appear jealous of their rights and interests as they formerly were. Corruption coup led with party projects,are all-powerlul in this our day and generation. Wc are ruled ami governed by the party ol 44 moral ideas,” and the first lesson in culcated by this party is the art of plun dering the public treasury. Why is it that the people arc so care less, so listless? Why is it that public men are no lunger held to responsibili ty? Formerly it was not so, but shirt- this Radical Jacobin party ha* been in power, the whole people are les- watch ful^and.uppeiir_t*.»._aci4u i.vaai iu Ulc...sm|- . lainy that is eating iiU• • a cancer at the vitals of the State and Naion. Our State Legislature, like our National Congress, has become a sink ot K oruny, a sore upon the body politic, a cur-' m the people, but yet with the exception of an occasional newspaper remon strance, we see no condemnation of the men who aro engaged in sw bulling the Treasury and disgracing the people. •• We would that a little of the .spirit of our forefathers could he infused into tic masses, and that as formerly, mtegri y and morality and nobility were tic re quisites for a public man to posse-:. Then we might hope for 14 better tim - ' and for a speedy reduction of om tale and National debt. Who Runs the Machine.— No doubt it is galling to the life-long Uadi cals to know that their party is not on ly run by renegade Democrats, but that they fill all the best offices. There is Geary, Governor; Brewster, Attorney General; Hurt ran ft. Auditor G« neral; Grow, Congressman and Chairman of the Slate Central Committee; Cameron, TJ. S. Senator, and Scott to take Buck alew’s place, and a host of others.— Even Grant can be placed in this list, for he used to bo a Democrat, and has never professed to be a Radical. It is the same thing all over the country.— The whole part/ has been sold out to cast oil’ Democrats who crowd out of place and profit those who “ are to the manor born.” No wonder the Kadi* al> think it rough. We are not surprised they howl over the nomination of John Scott. They will find one of the-e days mat they had better have a wolf but mm* i up in their waistcoat, than carry renegade Democrats in their bosom. A CONORESSMAN’s STATEMENT OF O'.vkrnme'tFrauds.— Mr. Jenckei.a Radical membcrofCongressfronTlthode Island, in a lecture delivered in N. w York, on the Kith Inst., said that from hi* own careful examination during the last four years, the government had been defrauded in the public service a hundred millions i f dollars a year, and that Commissioner Wells makis the su'm stdl greater. Was there ever such stupendous fraud and robbery before ? A hundred millions or more a year stolen from the Government and the people! - Wuat NextT—A, bill was prenenlod la die House of Ropresentadvealo provide for the lc troductlon of Joyal tnt-bonka into Iho puMlc it'Vv of (be United Suites, on tbe 11th Instant. —Euhange, “ Loyal text-books” means books fill ed with sweltering lies and eulogies on the “American citizen of African scent.” 83,000 A TEAR FOR .HRS. LINCOLN. It appears we are never to get rid of the Lincoln family. There are now two Rills before Congress—both to bo passed into laws—the one allowing Mrs. Lin coln a pension of i5,i;00 a year for life, Hie other appropriating the eannon of too Government to an artist, who is to melt them up and cast a bronze statue of the late Abraham Lincoln, at a cost of one hundred thousand dollars! A project is also on foot, we learn, to rec ognize Mr. Lincoln’s children'ns the wards of the nation,” who nre to be provided with an annuity for life. When wo consider Hint Mr. Lincoln wni a bankrupt when lie was elected to the Presidency, and that at the time of his deatli lie was worth over one hun dred thousand dollars; when we re member, too, that Mrs. Lincoln, as tho President’s wife, had accepted presents from “ loyal thieves,” (in consideration of her Influence with her husband,) val ued at seventy or eighty thousand dol lars ; when wo recolli ct also- that. Rob ert Lincoln, the President’s oldest son, made ids “ pile” as the quiet partner of favored contractors, andithat even little “Tnd,” the Lincoln baby, was tho ic eipient of costly presents from Radical plunderers, who were fleecing the Gov ernment ; when we remember all these tilings, we say, is it not a most intol r able outrage in Congress to continue to tax tlie people for tho benefit of this Lincoln tribe? God knows, the Lincoln’s have cost this Governhiont more than enough.— Rut for Abraham Lincoln we would have had no war. One word from him on the* first day of his wretched admin istration, would have stilled the troub led waters, and our national name am] our national prosperity would haw* been maintained. But no, 44 a little blood-letting” was wanted ; spoils and party triumphs was the kind of patriot is"* that governed the adherents of the Lincoln administration; love of coun try was something* they had never felt. War ensued, and such a system of rob bery, swindling, debauchery and crime ns followed, exceeded anvthing the world ever witnessed. For generations to come the people will feel the baleful effect* of the hell-born projects of Lin coln’s administrnticty), and if not in our generation, in the next, the name of Lincoln instead of being revered by pampered favorite*, will be a hissing and a by-word. And yet this Lincoln family, made rich from the people’s treasury, is to be imposed upon the Government as pen sioners, and the fanner and mechanic is to tie taxed to maintain this family in royal grandeur! This is the 41 econ omy” talked about by the Radicals in their last National Convention—thisthe 44 retrenchment” we have heard so much about. The monument to George Washing ton, commenced at Washington some fifteen years ago, is still unfinished, on ly about i alf up. Since the year the Radical conspirators obtained pew-* er—it lues not been touched, but remains covered with slabs, an eye-sore and a reproach to the people and the nation. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been sqandcred and stolen during the last seven nr eight years; appropria tions *.pr every conceivable object have been made by Congress, but not one cent has been voted lo complete the Washington monument. It is of no account; Washington, if Jiving to-day, w nld be a disfranchised man, for hi* principle* were not such as would le endm-ed by our present “ loyal” Raili ca. i 'in ty. * • ' mi, (lien, Jacobins ; melt up the can non of the Government and mould them iii t o a Lincoln monument; vote $5,01K) a year to Mrs. Lincoln, anil as much more to her children ; on, in your woi k of infamy ; let the grav< of Washington be neglected. and the Washington mon ument mimlili! and decay for want oi care. Washington made this country. Lincoln destroyed it, and of coui.-e Washington is to be forgotten by “ loy al” scallawags and the name of Lin j-oln_ revered Untie the Treasmy pur.-e-stringM, ifiat Mrs. Lincoln and all other 1 imoln’s may help them -elve.- “God help the Common I we vllh 1” lie- ilut ions have been introduced into both branehesof Congress, to ascer tain whether life and property could not be better secured in and about the C pitol than at present. An aged per son was knot ked down and robbed the other clay at the Capitol. It is said Washingto*- was never more annoyed by ’hieves and burglars than at the priM'iit time. Washington is literally overrun with “loyal” negroes and La-tern carpet baggers, and, as in all such places, thieves ami burglars are uppermost. 'Flie Mime condition pro vails in ilu* entire South: hence mur der, arson, robbery and rapes are o every day occurrence in nearly every locality. N w Registry Law.—An at tempt will be made* in the Pennsylva nia Legislature this winter to pass an other Registry Law. The principal ob ject of such a law is generally to de prive Democrats of the privilege of vo ting, The laboring class being princi pally Democrats, and not being able to spend time in waiting upon Registry officers, a law requiring them to lie reg istered prior to the electionsevery year, | would, of course, have the effect to keep' I many of them away from the polls.— Herice the desire on the part of the Rad icals to pass such a law. Having a ma jority in both branches of our Legisla ture, and the Governor, they will doubtless pass a Registry Law during the present session of the Legislature. State Treasure".— On Wednesday of last week, It. W. Mackey, Republi can, of Allegheny City, was- elected Slate Treasurer by the -Legislature.— The Democrats voted forO. W. Cooper, of Lehigh county, who was unanimous ly nominated tn caucus on Monday morning previous. Mr. Cooper is a well-known hanker, and very highly respected wherever known. There was some talk among thefriendsof Gen. Ir win, of starting an independent move ment against Mr. Mackey, but the back bone was lacking. The fact is there is not enough of that article among radi cal legislators to supply a horse-fly. »Dana, of the New York Sun, com- I plains that we have “toomuch govern j ment.” We have entirely too mmh J despotism, and if we had a little more of Jaw, no one would iiuif I fault. AN INFAMOLB ATTF.lirr IIIWABTHII. Last fall John M. Melloy, (Democrat,) was elected Receiver of Taxes of Phila delphia, by a decided majority. Not withstanding this decision by the peo ple, a bill was introduced ami passed tho House of the State Legislature, au thorizing Mr. I’eltz, (Radical,) who has h o :d Hie ofllce for Hie Just three years, to continue fo hold fu'e njji'-i for nn indeji- i nile period! Tho bill was transcribed 1 and immediately taken to Hie Senate, on Friday last, when it was to lie put through in hoi haste; Imt when the hour for the meeting of tl at delectable body arrived, the Democratic Senators were not in their seals, and no quorum being present, no business could lie transacted. Tlte Radical Senators, ( wi o in Hiis business were conspirators against Hie people of Philadelphia.) were nonplussed ; they looked at eaeli other in mute asti nishment for some minutes. Finally theSergcant-at-Arms was ordered to limit up and arrest I lie Democratic absentees, but they tonlii not he found—they had scattered. Af-. ter remaining in this condition lor sev eral hours; the Radical Senators ad journed, first ordering the Sergeunt-at Anns to have the recusant Senators in their scats mi Hie following morning.— Saturday morning arrived, and still not a simile'Democratic Senator was pres ent. No quorum i-eing present, the Senate could transact no business, and again adjourned. This was deatli to Hie conspiracy bill and to Pelt/-, for the Monday morning following, according to law, tlie new Receiver of Taxes laid to bo sworn in and take possession ot bis olHce. A telegram from Philadel phia, dated Jam 2-i, says—Tbi- morn ing John M. Melloy, Hie Dcmn.-ralie Receiver of Taxes elec 1 , called at the office and assumed Hie dalies Iheri-n'. The Democratic Senators deserve tl e thanks of every honest man for the firm stand they took against this attempt nl the Republican members of Assembly to commit an outrage Without a paral lel. When men, for tlie sake of party will dare attempt to put Hie will of Hn people at deflunee, am) to deprive a man of an office to which lie laid been eleeled, is them anything they would not do? The man who could he in- duerd to favor a conspiracy like thi* is a scoundrel, and a cell in the. peniten tiary would be n more suitable place for him than a seat in the I egisiature. SpAl.li THE (’OVVI-INTION BE POST PONED?—We find in mam of our ex changes a strong feeling for the post ponement of the March t (invention.— ft is averred that the part of wisdom demands the fleinncratic party!" nwad t« e course of events at Washington ; that the policy of the incoming admin istration should he known ere our can didates are in the field; and, finally, that it is entirely unnecessary for the nomocracy to nominate their candi dates and adopt a platform of princi pies so early in the year. Wo deem the '-uggestions of the Democratic press em inently wise and c agaeinop, and think they will receive considerate attention at the hands of the Slate Central <. orn mittee. There is no decided virtue in eirly nominations. What wo most need now is effective and perfect orr/an iza/inu. Let the party then turn its chief attention to organization and di*- cipline, and the nominations can afiord to wait. SST* Radical “love” for the soldier crops now and then, in spite of j» 11 their bawling for the “ Hoys in Blue.” While the .selection of officers for the Pennsylvania House »»f Represen la I i ves was going on, Mr. Brown, ((Marion.) presented a petition, signed by Cover nor Geary and some of the heads of de partments. asking that a s ildier, named ■ iem ge Shindler, who had lost one limb, be appointed pastor and foUh r. Mr. Stang, (Tioga,) moved to amend by pledging the faith of each member of the-House to give the soldier So. — This amendment was tided out of or der as not being pertinent to the sub ject. 7 'he ~TI oiisc~rrfits(‘rli ht/ iiO- nm/s-fo 00 a v'.sv to nppninl the rrippled soldier post er and folder.

Williams of Oregon, Patterson of New Hampshire, and Buekalew of Pemv-yl v min, the latter being the only Demo crat on the Cominiibe. Jt is not thought pr“bnMe that the committee will make any report on the subject un • til near the end of the session. BST’The Korih A merit an and Ger mantown Telegraph i and other newspa pers advocate the erection of a new and expensive State Capitol building. This on tlie heel of expending some two bun cl red thousand dollars to enlarge the present building appears to us like great extravagance;. Our tax-payers have load enough to enrry-at present, without this additional expenditure.— If necessity called for it the case would ho very different. We hope our Set a '£or and members will oppose, any and every such project. Bgy 1 * An exchange thinks the preva lence of crime throughout the country is truly remarkable. Considering that Congress is made up of thieves, murder ers, robbers and plundeiers belonging to the Republican party to so great an extent, and considering that those in authority have for four years set all laws at defiance, and won their way to the positions they hold by violence, we do nut consider it anything remarkable.
