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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Thu Senam Committee on pensions have lu-
f >re them again. In a new form, the periodical
piohlem ol the .subsistence of Mrs. Abraham
Lincoln. Senator Morton has put In a hill to
pay this la iv a pension during her natural life,
reciting that her husband was killed by an cue
my*of ihe‘United Stales while discharging Ids
functions as Coinmnnder-iii-ehief of the army
and navy. Mr. sumnorsoggeHted that tho sum
be pul at- $5,000 a year, and the figures wore, ac
cepted by Mr. Morton. Mrs. Lincoln's income
from the residue of the voted her by Con-
aruss Is 31.72 S 15 ti \ ear. amt on that sum she Ims
souiilr tlieHouth ofFnincp, whereltvlng Is cheap,
ami is keeping la strict ami very humble re
ilrement. This hill of Mr. Morton's Is the first
roueden of the singular intelligence tlu-t Mrs
lilncoln was minced to the necessity of •selling
her wardrobe. The whereases hy wh'ch Mr.
Mort a makes heroutus the widow of a milita
ry mini killed In the war wid not lie keenly
questioned hy t'oiigres*. as a disposition exists
to obliterate the scandal of her poverty by he •
llovlng It. The passage of the hill is probable,
iinh-ss some Senator, morbidly, fearful of mak
ing It a piecedent, opimses It, and brings on de
hate, which the proposition cnnnoi hear. If I
miii not mu-taueii, the widow of Ex-Presided
P.d'c m yet living,and In comparative poverty
Would It baaiiyth-ng more than simple Justice
to give her a pension ton. This much may be
said of Mrs. President Polk—slip was never prov

(«ot. Aleck McClure, and John Forney, have
had «n Interview with Genera. Grant, to secure

Sad Death of Dr Bodge.— On Thurs
day niaht Inst, the body of a human be
ing, terribly mangled, was found on the
track of the Pennsylvania Rail-road, be
tween Miffl'n and Perry villc* It was ta
ken to Mifflin, where it was recognized
as the body of Dr. Charles H Bodge,
who at one time resided in this place. —
Bodge was a poor, unfortunate creature,
—his own worst enemy—given to the use
of strong drink, and had been seen along
the rail-road a number of times, from
which It is Inferred he sought death by
that’ means, or became stupefied by li
quor and fell upon the truck.
Idle Young Mex. —Every town has
Its group of idle young men, and we be
lieve our town has too many. An idle
brain Is said to be the devil’s workshop,
and parents who allow their hoys to grow
up unemployed, and without trades or
business qualifications, will sooner or la
ter regret their folly In this respect. Re
member that the great turning point ill
life is between the ages of fourteen and
twenty-one, and that whatever habits or
bent of inclination your sons acquire du
ring tills period, will in ail probability
adhere to them through life. Without
habits of industry and application a nulti
is worthless, aqjt parents should bear in
mind that between the above ages is the
proper time to train both.
Scarlet Fever.— A correspondent of
the Wilmington - Commercial, writing
from Kent county, where the scarlet fe
ver has prevailed, to an alarming degree,
recommends ns *» cure for this terrible
Usease, that “ the patient be greased
with fut bacon, over the entire surface of
the body.” We have known the di-euse
to be cured by enveloping the patient in
a warm poultice made of Indian meal.
Both these remedies may be old, but a
trial of either, or both, cun do no harm,
while your physician is hesitating as to
what experiment he shall try to save the
life of your child.

Navigation dV the Sushukuamm
River. —The subject of deepening Hit
channel of the Susquehanna River,to
which we referred a week or so ago, hie
ing considerably agitated. The pinjiv
is considered favorable, and CongrwHwii
be asked —while appropriating so liberal
ly to other States—to grant-an appropri
ation of $10,000,000 towards the accom
plishment of this great work. The Har
risburg Patriot , upon tins subject,says:
“ However impracticable the scheme
for I lie opening of the Susquehanna for
.navigation may appear, the day is not w
mote when piactical efforts will he nude
to accomplish it- The feasibility of chan
neling the river has for years been s
theme of discussion,,some inainlxinin:
that it was an impossibility, ami others
that lime, money and skill were «Imie re
quired to insure its success. In the de
sire to have this great stream open f
-teambont navigation nearly all purlin
pated. The project,'however, never hj
sumed an aspect that ‘warranted agener
a I belief that U would be consuniiUed tin

taken by leading citizens of this Slate b

mil-ion dollars, which is the esiimatei
cost of perfecting this great enterprise-
It is thought this request will rea-ir.
prompt compliance. The opening
navigation will greatly develop i»;
wealth and resources of the Stale, h'
hoped it will be speedily commenced-
