THE. DEFUNCT' CONGRESS, The, most' intuitions Congress Unit over, ussemhlotl In Ainoriou olnscti its labor* on tho ,‘ltl inst. It wus u hotly tnken us u wholo, ut onoo corrupt untl sluunolcss. Nearly tho entire session wus oeenpied in investigutim: erinios eominittod by its own members. I’m in tlie revolutions mude it wus evident Unit one-third or more.of both Semite untl House wus composed ol men who hud been faithless to their constituents and tho country, untl who, jt justice could overtake them, would bo in the penitentiary. The Inst net yf this Congress wus in keeping with Us .unenviable'character. A few hours previous to the final nd-, jourmnout the hilt in regard to salaries was reported by a conference .loinmil tee of the two houses, and passed—yeas 11)1, nays IM. By the provisions of this bill, tho pay of the President is $-30,000 per ami inn, just double what lie has heretofore received;. the Vice Presi dent’s pay $10,000;' Chief Justice Su preme Court, 10,300 i justices Supremo Court, $10,000; Cabinet ollicors, $lO,- 000 ; assistant secretaries oi the Treasu ry and Interior Departments, $0,000'; Speaker of tho House, $10,001); Sena tors, Kepresentatives anti Delegates, including the present Congress, s7,;io0 — being $2,000 per annum of an increase. 01 course Grant signed the hill and it is tv law. Hack member of tho late Congress, therefore, filched from the treasury $3,000 more Ilian he was en titled to. .Is this stealing, or what is Wlicii we look ut lliu ads of tlio Radicals anil compare thorn with their professions, wo cannot but come lo tit ‘ conclusion that the American people can he humbugged witli impunity hy every rascal who wants olUcc and pow er at 'their hands. ‘During the. late Presidential campaign Radical stump speakers were in the habit of edifying, their hearers hy preaching up “ econo my.” Ro-ejoct Grant, they-said, and the taxes of the people will ho careful y appropriated to the extinguishment of the public debt, and the strictest econo my will ho practiced in all the depart ments of tlie government. Many of the speakers who tiius edified un sophisticated greenhorns had bribery money in their pockets, and they de sired another lease of power that they might he enabled to continue their raids upon the treasury with no danger of punishment before their eyes. How they did lie! No sooner are these men again in power than they double nearly all salaries, and their extravagant no tions appear to know- no hounds. II tho people are not blind to all indigni ties and outrages, they wid rise as one man in opposition to tills Credit Mo bilicr party, and hurl it from power in every State. On the subject of the sine dir adjournment of the late Congress, I lie Phihuleldhia Kvening 'ldeyraph, unable Republican paper, in its issue of the Ith inst., thus spoke ; Unregretted hy any but those who simultaneously passed into political ob livion, the Forty-second Congress ex pired at noon yesterday. In its earlier days it accomplished some good, if its (■nurse was not wholly free from objec tion, but the shame of its later doings obliterates all sense of benefit, and leaves in Hie pul lie mind uo other feeling than that of disgust and con tempt. Its death was anxiously looked for and welcomed, ns possibly putting a period to an era ol shameless cor ruption and of mockery of justiee. Numerous investigations were held. Among them were those into the loss ol certain war records', the management of the New York and New Orleans Custom Houses, the Navy Depart moot contracts, the Louisiana troubles, the Kansas anil Arkansas Senatorial elec tions, and the operations of tho Credit Muhilier. Several of these proved per fect farces, the most disgraceful being those' into the Pomeroy ease and the Credit Mohilier, In ho.li instances the allegations were substantially proved, yet no punishment fell upon tho ol fenders. By one of the Credit Mohilier committees it was proposed to expel Ames and Brooks, hot the House seiz ed upon the manifest unfairness of this proposition as a pretext for lulling oil all. By no previous Congress lias so lamentable an absence of mural scii-o been manifested, nml lor Ibe per manence of our institutions it is to lui hoped that in this respect the Forty* seeumi Congress will stand out in ids lory imappruuebed and unrivaled. Other prominent Republican news papers speak In a similar strain. This it mi- as to hope that the day’has gono wlu i; partisanship eipi I'etler llm ol 1.-e country. ,j 111 f,s \V.

IVli.blAM HOPKINS, Tint inteiligcol-o ol the death at Umt. j William Hopkiija, of Washington mutt-. ty, will lie received with a feeling of uni versal sorrow. The deceased was well known. highly. respected, and greatly beloved by' tho pvoplc. His dt-eli oe ennvil tut Wednesday ai I tie Union Depot Hotel, Pittsburg. It seems that colonel 11 pities left' Philadelphia the latter pait of last weet^ —he having been there tit attendance on the sessions ol tin* Constitutional Convention, of wlilelt he was a member —inletnUim f° pay a visit lo It is iiutrte. On his way to PiltHliurg tie occupied a lienli in a sleep ing ear, anti the weather being quite se vere lie took a eoltl which attacked his lungs, rie was unable to proceed farther Union Detail Hotel, Pittsburg,, where he - receiveil medical aid, ami all the allenlion Unit anxious and loving friends could bestow. His disease soon developed into a violent attack'd pneu monia, which it was found impossible to check. Thus suddenly ami unexpected lo those who tail a lew days since saw him in the vigor of health, passed from earth a man whose life is an important part of the iilslnry of lids Common wealth/ Colonel Hopkins was born at West Pike Kim,- Washington.CV, Pa., in IXO4. Hesetved at various periods— with great credit lo himself and with liotniiable distinction. a representative in the lower house of liie.State Cegisln- Uire. At the limeol. tlie famous Buck shot win, lie was Speaker oi Hie House, mid his liriiiiie-s ami emnage gave suc cess to the light. He was aftei ward elected Canal Commissioner, uud subsea qticiitly served a term to the State Sen ate. At the time of ins death be was one of Hie moat active and Influential members of the CiinstnHouul Conven tion. In polities, Mr. Hopkins was a Democrat', always adhering, to the for tunes of' bis party, in adversity ns well us in prosperity. His counsel ami ad vice were always sought and greatly es teemed by Hie rank and tile ol Hie Democracy. His integrity of character, sound judgment ami goodness of lieitil always gave him leadership m Hie emin cils of hia party. Tlie Ciniimoinieallh lias lost an upright, faithful and capable public servant, and Hie 'eountry at huge a patriot who loved lire republic' for Hie lepnblio’s sake. The vacant place will not soon be supplied. That general supporter of Grant, the New York Herald, characterizes his Louisiana message as “a special plea for federal interference in the local affairs of that State,” and says: It is all very well for the President lo say, as he does in his message, that he is' extremely anxious to avoid any •appearance of undue . interference in State affairs; but words, amount to nothing when the action is so different. The greatest tyrants often talk loudly of liberty while they are destroying it insidiously. Nothing was better es tablished or more sacred in our system of government, up to the time ol tho war, when the Republican parly came into power, than tlie non interference witli State affairs hy (lie federal Gov ernment. Tito very basis of American freedom was local self government through tlie municipalities and States. In fact, thfe germ of our liberty was found in the municipal governments of Knglniid, though it grew and became ranch enlarged on the congenial soil of America. Unfortunately our shallow, and lime serving politicians and little Presidents have lost sight ol that, and are going as fast as possible to central ize despotism. The enforcement act referred to in ihc hands ol narrow minded or sham slab -men, gnus far to destroy tlie foundation of American liberty. If a federal judge on any pro text, from ignorance or to serve, parti san political purposes, can set aside an election in Louisiana, wiiy not in New York or Massachusetts; Tlie pretence of carrying out tlie Fnforcoment act of. Congress cotdd be used in one Slate as well as another. Only think tyow monstrous it is that ono man can sub vert Hie machinery of government, defeat tile will of the people and throw, a Stale into anarchy! Have our lib erlies no heller foundation than the caprice .or partisan’ prejudice of one federal officer ?

Well, we have been told ihat on ten thousand occasions, and we. think the people are about tired listening tn this stereotyped nnrs. Had Grant made some reference to Hie late Credit Mohilierscandal, and suggested some mode l.y which the treasury eonld lie secured against the stealing propensities of Grant’s particu lar friends and cronies, it would have afforded heller reading to over-taxed and rohhed people. Tlio status of the nigger lias been talked threadbare. Let us hear something about the status of Grant, Wilson, Colfax, Patterson, Kelley, Hcolield, and other Credit Mohilier thieves. What They Stoi.k—Our readers have hoard much about the Credit Mohilier fraud without probably hay ing any intelligent idea us to the mag nitude otthe operation. In order that they may form some estimate ol tho amount of-cash their enterprising pub lic servants have pocketed in -this speculation, we give tho following fig ures showing Hie profits realized ; “ The profits on Ames’ contracts for building tlui Union tpcilic railroad, as divided, were $20,H0t,000, and on the Davis contract $7,802,135, or over $37,- 000,000 which were stolen. The gov ernment subsidy was $27,000,000, which, it will lie secon was wholly ap propriated by tlie Credit Mohilier gang.” Tlio pocketing of ai.rty-/nur millions of doltun, by the Washington lobbyists, and Hie small Senatorial and Congres sional ring will go a groat way toward making a numb-ref those gentry very rich. The' Modoc War Ended, The Secretary of the Interior lias io ceived.a telegram from the President of the Board of Peace Commissioners in the Indian country, stating that the Modoc Indians have .surrendered them selves us prisoners of war, and il is ids belief (hut peace will lie pernmiuml.

The Regular Usrcruor, mul Regu lar Legislature sent <« Prison ! DcsiK>lism An outbreak in New Oileana has oau.s uil eon sill eralile excitement throughout the country, and the neglect of Cougrtaa to adjust matters in Louisiana is severely criticised 1 . II the members had devoted le&ii time to the Increase of salaries very few of them had earned, and more to the condition of the Southern Stales, It would have been'better for Louisiana, and for the nation at large. An act of Congress selling aside the claims of both factions, -and ordering a hew election, would have prevented this disgraceful rioting, disor der and loss of 1 1 to. Tlie particulars of the outbreak appear to have been as follows: The non-aeliui of Congress induced the Kellogg factions to believe that they were secure in the possession of their usurped power, won through the prostituted Uni ted States courts; while the MclCnery fac tion, who had previously acted with great forbearance, became desperate and rashly resorted to force. On Tuesday evening McEnery s militia took possession of the Seventh precinct station house, without resistance from the few policemen there. No effort to dis place the militia was made at this time. I’he policomen withdrew from their beats and concentrated - about the station* around the Mechanics, Institutes and oth er central points. About 9|Vp. m; on Wednesday a gang of some 50 men attacked and lired Into the Third precinct station hou*e. The police returned the Around repulsed their assailants, who were quickly reinforced by about 350 men and returned to the at tack. Gen. Badger, Chief of the Metro politan police, with about 200 police men and a piece of artillery, arrived, and ordered the crowd on Jackson Square and the streets leading thereto to disperse. They rcfusi d to do so, and a blank car • tridge was lired from the cannon, with no apparent ellect, in dispersing the crowd. The cannon, loaded with canis ter, was again lired, killing one man and wounding several. There was sharp mUnketry filing about the same time, lasting some five minutes. Only one po liceman was wounded during.the whole ot the lighting. Another charge of can iH‘.er n was tired up \uu street. The cri.wd lied, some of tln-m in great haste and dis order. On Wednesday Gen. Emory, com manding ihe Deportment of the Gulf, re ceived Ibe following dispatch from Gen. Sherman, at Washington : “The President directs you to -prevent any violent interference with the ‘Stale government of Louisiana;” The U. S. troops arrived at the scene of the riot about 11 p. m. t ami the re maining militia ' retired. The troops occupied ‘Jackson Square ami other points, and with the police, prevented further disorder. At 1.30 a m. Thursday, Gen. Badger with 80 men ami one piece of ar tillery, made a detour and reached the rear of the Seventh precinct station, which was still held tlie by McEnery parly. As an officer approached to demand its turrender, some men on tho lnside 11 red a volley at Badger’s party, who returned thq lire and rushed in ami captured the station, with seven prisoners, one iuoft tally and another slightly wounded. The McEneiy party attempted no resis tance to the U. fc. troops when ordered to disperse, in front of the cathedral. Gen. W'aggnan, commanding the militia, com plying at once with the request oi Gen. Smith, of the regulars, to disperse his men. ’ . Thursday Kellogg’s Metropolitan police took possession oi the Odd Fellows’ Hall, where the McEnery legislature was in session. They arrested Governor MeEu ory ami the members of the two houses, and confined thorn in the nearest lock up. The members of the Fusion Legislature and some fifty citizens arrested for riot have since been released the latter on $lOOO bail each. The Legislature held a meeting and passed a joint .resolution de nouncing .the interference of the U S. troops, ami calling the country to these “dangerous, oppressive and arbitrary measures.” AC last • accounts all was quiet in the city. Tula Now York 'World mentions as a remarkable fact, that since the Presi dential election we hear nothing about crimes perpetrated by tho Ku-Kluxi and, what is equally singular, tho President has pardoned nearly all those who, during tho campaign, were tried and incarcerated in tho Albany peni tentiary I The whole tiling looks as though all the cry we heard about tho Ku-Klux before' the election, and all the money spent hy the government ostensibly to suppress them, were simply electioneering dodges to make votes for Grant. Titi*t bill providing for tho election of a State TreaMirer in March has been reported to the house with a negative recommendation. From this it may bo concluded that the treasury ring halve determined that there shall lio.no elec tion until October, and that Mr, Mack <y shall hold over. As Ids term ex pires on tho first Monday in May, ids occupation of tho otlice of State Treasu rer after that time, without further legislation, would be illegal, and Ids acts would be void. This may load to some gravb complications, and the sub ject imperatively demands tho imme diate attention of the legislature and of the people. Hon. Wit. D. Kelley, of Pa., de manded Hint tho ten shares of Credit Mobilier stock said by Oakes .Ames to belong to'him should be paid into tho treasury, witli a cheek of Kelley for f 329; which was done. When asked by Treasurer Spinner il lie desired tho money to go into the “conscience fund,” Kelley roared “ No!” so loudly us to startle all present. A. sput-ml flection hold in Bumpier county, Alabama, for the purpose of filling the vacancy in the State Senate caused by the death of Senator Gilmer, resulted in the election of a Mr. Little, Democrat. This makes the Senate of that Slate once more Democratic, which, wo presume rejoices the hearts of the Alabamians. The Constitutional Convention has adopted a section making women of twenty-one years or over eligible to any oltice of control or management under the School law of tho Sta'te. i-'ouK school houses have been closed in Carroll county, Aid., as a precaution against the spread of small pox existing In their respective neighborhoods. Tin; cost of Hie Credit Mobilieraud other investigations of fraud and cor ruption in the present Congress will reach Jit!,ooo. Instead of “ God and morality” constituting tho chief corner-stone of the Radical party, it is now Credit Mobilior and perjury.

The above is news to the residents along the line of the Cumberland Val ley rail-road. We learn from the Shippensburg News that another Democratic paper will soon be started in Shippensburg. It is our opinion that Shippensburg bas as many newspapers now as it can well sustain. Several communications, signed by fictitious names were sent to ns for in sertion in this issue. How many times must we inform the public that com munications unaccpmpanied by the real name of the writer, is only written for our waste basket? There are pavements In this place that have not been cleared of snow this winter. This was the fault of the au thorities—they had a remedy, why was it not applied? Give us good Borough officers next year, and things will work in a satisfactory manner. Local Option.—As the State stands now on 1 the question of License, it is about equally divided, and the thirsty traveller will have only to step over into the next county for an ” eye-open er” or his ”, night-cap.” A man named J. T. Williams, was arrested in York, a few days since, on complaint of Jerome Swartz, of Wrightsville, for swindling him out of abopt twenty dollars.

Good-News.—Silver and copper, this long hidden treasure, has finally been unearthed in York county, on tho farm of Geo. W. Noedel, in North Codorus township, on the Northern Central rail road. Mr. N. dug a shaft a few weeks since, and was rejoiced to find several pieces of silver, tho size of a marble, and a few lumps of copper about tho size of a walnut. Tho specimens have been pronounced good. This farm was offered for sale last year, and might have been purchased at a low figure. Not Correct. -It is pretty generally supposed by those men who took out license in January last, that even should Local Option carry, they will be enabled to keep open and sell until their present term of license expires, nearly one year hence. This is a mis take. If the Local Option men carry tfio county, ail persons engaged in the traffic will be compelled to close their bars on and after the first day of April next, and the money which they paid for license will be refunded by.tho the County Treasurer. See act of the Legislature in another column. March.— “Tho winter mouths have gone, But not the winter weather,” Blustering, windy, fickle March has ushered in. Rough, boisterous and cold as he usually is, nevertheless March is welcome. Rude and bluster ing, with whirlwinds and fierce storms in his train, lie clears the atmosphere, dispels the snow and brooding miasma, dries up stagnant pools fraught with death, and rushes into tho forest arches and chases away tho vapors that rest low and dark among, the dead leaves. With a rush and a shout ho shakes up the giant oaks, who wave their strong arms and bow their tall plumes to give greeting as ho speeds by in his chariot; and anon ho stoops low on sunny south ern slopes and whispers to the sleeping lilly and snowdrop “ wake up, beau ties, Spring has come.” “Winter still lingers on tho verge of Spring. lloilres reluctant, ami, from time to time, LeotivS buck,” .

How the fire origi nated we were not informed. On Monday night of laac week, ‘ the Senate Bill No. 82, supplementary to the Local Option Bill past last March, per mitting voters of this Commonwealth to vote every three years upon the question of granting license to sell intoxicating liquors in their respective counties, was passed by the lower house of the Legis lature, after considerable debate, by a vote of G 4 to 25, This will give our citi zens an opportunity of voting for or against tho.grauting of license. Report of the Board of Health.— Carlisle , March 1.1, 1873.—There have been no new cases of small-pox reported to Board for past week. The Board have pleasure in announcing that there is not one case of. smnll-pox or varioloid in tho borough. All Hags have this day been removed. Hereafter no weekly reports will bo made to tho press unless the dis ease should again make its appearance; then all cases will be promptly reported. John Campbell, President of Board. Tin-: Pay of Jurors.— A bill is now before the Legislature, an'd baa already passed one branch, making the pay of Jurors in the State two dollars a day , with mileage as now allowed, except in such counties where the sum paid is .larger than that allowed in the bill. It will probably become a law. Two dol lars a day is, however, insufficient, and will not begin to cover necessary expen ses in most oases. The pay of witnesses should also lie increased. As it is, the people are compelled to abandon their business to obey the mandates of sub poenas, and*sometimes dance attendance upon Court, week after week, for a stipend which is altogether insuflicient. Visit and Presentation.— State Cup ital Lodge, No. 70, I. O. of O* F., of Harrisburg, paid Silver Spring Lodge, at New Kingston, Cumberland county, a visit on last Saturday night, and Chas. Wilhelm, Esq., on behalf of the State Capital Lodge, presented them with a very handsome pair of gavels manufac tured out of California rosewood, at the same time making some appropriate re marks.

After spending a few hours in their social way, State Capital Lodge started ftfr their homes, apparent ly well pleased and satisfied with their visit, while Silver - Spring Lodge felt honored to have been visited by so fine a set of men and good Odd Fellows, ho ping to meet them soon again.— Patriot. Death of an Old Time Editor.— Robert White Middleton, formerly well known in this section of Pennsylvania, as un editor and politician, died at Washington City on the 25th ult., In the 09th year of his age. Mr. Middleton was a native of Virginia, but on the breaking outof the anli-masonic excitement, at the Instance of Thuddeua Stevens, he re moved to this State and established the Gettysburg Star, which ho conducted with ability aud success. He was also the founder of the, Lancaster Examiner, and while “conducting that journal so bitter and southing were his editorials, that he became involved in a personal controversy with James Cameron (a brother of the Hon. Simon’s) which eventuated in bloodshed if notin death. In 1812 Mr. Middleton purchased the Carlisle Herald , then In a very languish ing condition, which paper he conducted for six or eight months with marked ability and great promise of ultimate success, at the end of which lime lie dis posed of it to Mr, E. Beatty. A& a writer, Mr. Middleton was teady, sarcastic and severe, and as an editor he" was possessed of indomitable energy and untiring Industry, always furnishing his readers will) a well got up paper. For the lust twenty four years ho had been a ptominent clerk in the Second Audit or's office at Washington, Cumberland county side of - n lO ‘ ht Subsequently a party ol twelve or mi/' from Harriabqrg made a search for u" wounded man, but did uot Hml hi ui says an exchange. ' A FEW weeks ugo, Lyman Lewi. Esq., of New Cumborlaud, nccldenii' ran ii copper wire into the thumb or |,i right hand. The wound gave him i ! little annoyance at first, but after a fl, duya the hand and arm became mJf swoolen and very painful, and ahhout many remedies were applied, aoilii, gave relief. On Monday last it was it opinion of Mr. Lewis’ physician thaS mortification had taken place in ii hand, and that amputation would be up 1 ceaaary to save the life of the sufferer which time, we have not heard from’ him. Squire Lewis is a poor mon, some whatadvanced in,years, aud the Io«s ills right hand will deprive him of hi, only means of livelihood.
