ANOTHER TAID ON THE TREASURY.
Them appears to bo no end to tbu ex
pedients resorted to to get hold of the
'people’s money. To «ton I from the
Treasury under color of law, has become
a science. As an illustration: A bill
is now before the State Senate, with
prospects of Us passage, making all old
Judges pensioners! It provides “ for
the payment of an annuity of balf.snlary
to judges retiring from the bench when
sixty years of age and upward, nfter
having served as such fifteen years or
more upon the Supremo llonch, or twen
ty years and upward as judge iu any
other court in the State.”
What an idea!, Why • should old
Judges he thus favored over other old
men ? If old Judges are to become pen*
sioners, why not old doctors, old pro
fessors and school teachers, old minis
ters, old. editors, merchants or day
laborers? Why not, we repeat? But
no man or set of men who have follow
ed these professions or callings should
become pensioners. There is neither
justice or sense in such tt proposition.—
One Senator, we notice, in his speech
favoring'this hill, used the argument
that Judges, after haviiig.servod twen
ty years are enervated and worn out,
and therefore should ho provided for!
Well, suppose tliis to he true, which it
is uot, will not the same argument ap
ply to all other professions and call
ings? Is not Ute practicing physician
after twenty years of toil, as much
broken down as the old Judge, and are
not the people as much indebted Ur
him ? In our own calling—editor of a
paper—is there anything more trying
to the constitution? The Judge can
have weeks of recreation hero we
have not an hour. Thu man who has
conducted a paper for twenty years,
lias written more and given more
thoughts to his hundreds of subjects
than any dozen Judges in Ute State.
The minister, if he performs his duty,
must read quite as much and labor
harder than the Judge. He also-the
Professor and sjhooi-teaehor. And the
day laborer and farmer, who for twen
ty years toils incessantly and then—as
is oftpn the case—dies in poverty, why
should they not he pensioned ? This
argument of the Senator will not do.
A man following one particular calling
should have no rights over another
man following a different one. Our
admiration for lawyers will not
carry us so far as to grant (item favors
above their fellow-men.
Again, there is no sympathy to ho
appealed 10. Judges receive good
salaries—our Supreme Judges $7,000 a
year, and our Common Pleas Judges
$l,OOO. Then they receive mileage iu
addition. If then at the end of twenty
years they have not saved sufficient to
sustain the wants of their families, it *s
their own fault. As a general thing
the minister of the gospel, doctor, pro
fessor, teacher, editor and merchant is
compelled to labor lor half this sum,
and the day laborer for as much as will
keep soul and body together.
Away then with this attempt to
make old Judges pensioners. It would
in- neither right nor proper. It is one
of the cunning devices of cunning men
people’s money, and should
be hooted out of the Senate. We have
no patience with the men who are con
stantly getting up projects for the de
pletion of the treasury. We want no
fa-.oredor privileged classes in Penn
sylvania, und wi I have none. The
men who favor this bill cannot stand
up before their constituent and (Intend

BRIBE-REOEIVERS AT A PREMIUM
Previous to the dual adjournment of
the extra session of the U. S. Senate on
Wednesday of last week, feigned action
was taken in regard to three Senators
who had oblalncd their seatsby bribery.
Caldwell of Kansas, was permitted to
send in his resignation, after lie had
counted noses and found that lie would
be. expelled if he remained in the Sen
ate and perjnitled a vote to he taken.
Clayton of Arkansas, another Radical,
wlm bought his way into ihe Senate,
and then, for the purpose of making up
the money lie had spent, received largo
bribes from-Oakes Ames, of Credit Mo
bilicr fame, was nicely whitewashed by
the passage of a resolution declaring
that ” the charges made and referred to
the select committee of the last Con
gress, affecting the official character and
conduct of Powell Clayton, are not well
sustained.” - Yens 33; nays (i; not vot
ing 33 ! Patterson of New Hampshire,
was the next to deal with. The proof
against him was positive—he had taken'
bribery money and bonds from Oakes
Ames in consideration of his votes in
favor of giving to several rich corpora
tions millions of acres of the public
lands. But Patterson’s terra was to ex
pire witli the adjournment of the Sen
ate, untl he was let off witli a mere re
buke. John Patterson of Juniata coun
ty, Pa., wlm paid the negro Legislature
pfSouth Carolina $20,000 fora eerliffcato
of election to the Senate, wits not dis
turbed, and will he permitted to remain
in the Senate to misrepresent a once
sovereign Stale.
What a jiicturo is this? Beyond all
question or doubt there are ten orlwelve
men in the United States Senate who
should be in the penitentiary. And
these tire the men who are to dictate
laws for the observance of the people !
Is it to he wondered at that dishonesty
prevails in every department of the
government, and that we hear of de
falcations every day in Ute week ? Wtmt
do the Radicals mean? Have they
matte up their minds deliberately to
offer premiums for scoundrels? is in
tegrity, honor and ability to he o-dnieis
ed henceforth and forever? is Ute U.
S. Senate to bo made a resting place A r
every ion’ vijlain who has money suf
ficient to buy a seat? It.wo.uld seem
so. Well, we suppose there is no help
for all this, at least for the present. Let
the vultures have full swing at the pub
lic treasury.
GOY. DIX'S FIRMNESS.
The firmness displayed by Gov. Dix
in-insisting upon the execution of Fos
ter for the killing of'Putnam, deserves
the appro val and admiration of the en
tire people. About two years ago Fos
ter. drunk with liquor, entered a street
car in New York on which he saw
Putnam in company with two ladies.
He seated himself along side the one
and began indecent remarks. She got
np and walked away. He continued
his brutish conduct with the ladies till
Putnam said he would iml allow his
ladies to be insulted. As soon as Put
nam and his company reached their
destination, they proceeded lo gel out.
Foster had previously threatened that’
“he would give him hell,” and seizing
a car hook, stationed himself on the
front platform of the car. As Putnam
stepped forward to alight from the car,
Foster struck tdsu mie i.f two blows on
the head from which he afterwards
died.
Two years have been consumed by
Ids lawyers in getting new trials in va
rious courts. The judgemen of the
jury, however, was always affirmed.—
The last resort was commutation of
sentence. ■ Attorneys', clergymen, seven
of his jurors, newspapers, and the wife
of Hie murdered man, begged for Ids
commutation to imprisonment, tint
Guv. Dix bravely resisted Ibis sickly
and peurile sentimentality in favor of
a murderer, and said, ‘‘the sentence ol
the court shall be carried out. Men
guilty of murder shall hang. The se
curity of our persons, the quiet of our
streets, tbo peace of our homes demand
it.”
So it was done. All honor to the
man. With such firmness, New York,
may soon rid herself of her murderers.

A BROTHER OF MR. TONE AGE TAI,
Wo may liu mistaken, but our opi|-
ion is Hint the Biggest steal that Rial
Been uuule since the repeal of tlio Toi
tntge Tax aroused tho iudlgimtion 6fl
our peojile, passed the House of Rep
resentatives at Harrisburg, recently,
under the pretense of repealing Ibe
tax on “ personal properly.” Had tjiy
bill passed, as was intended when in
troduced into the Senate, reducing, the
burdens of taxation levied upon the
farmer, mechanic, and laborer,'it would
have met the hearty approval of every
citizen of the Commonwealth. But
when, under a pretense of relieving
tiro overburdened taxpnyas of the
Slate, the treasury is robbed of oner a
million of dollars annually fir the bene
fit of corporations , to use the mildest
words possible, it can only be termed a
swindle upon the people, a fnnd upon
the treasury, and must meet die con
demnation of the people as a mass.
The bill as introduced origimlly, re
lieved the tax payers ol the State on an
average of sixty-live ccn/s caih, As
passed finally, it repealed Hit tax
known as ' personal lax,” amounting
as we have said to sixty-five cents, bn
the average for each taxable ; and also
the taxes on “Gross Receipts” as well
as the taxes on “Not learnings” ol cor
porations, together amounting to F.nirr
HUNDRED AND FIVE THOUSAND FIVE
HUNDRED AND SF.VENTY-NINE TIOL-
EARS
Sixty five cents for the people !
Eight hundred and five thousand five
hundred and seventy-nine dollars foi\the
Corporations!. ‘
Was ever fraud more palpable?
Was over Ihcivery more apparent?
Multiply the amount taken. off'of
corporations by eleven and you' have a
greater amount than.the nine million
steal figured up. So ' that in eleven
years the corporations save more than
that monstrous robbery proposed to
lake. That fyas limited to nine mil
lions ol dollars, tills is unlimited ; in
twenty years it will amount to over
sixteen millions -of dollars, out of- the
treasury of the State and into the safes
of soulless corporations that are now
oppressing every industry of the State
by exhorhitant freights and outrageous
3 a res.
By the passage of this bill the Penn
sylvania rail-road company is exoner
ated annually of $149,288.58 ; the Bead
ing of $60,7-13.91; the Northern Central
of $22,200.64; the Lehigh of $44,750.21;
the Philadelphia and Erie of
and so on down to every corpora ion in
the State.
And who is to make up this
amount? It is yon, Mr. farmer, me
chanic, and laborer. You, whose taxes
are to be thribbled in a few years to
replete a Treasury made empty for the
benefit of these monopolies.
v And this bill taking from the Treas
ury of the State, $805,579 .annually,
passed both the Senate and the House
with but a single vote against it, that of
the Senator from Montour, Hon. Tho->.

More Pious Hascality.—' The re
port of Bank Examiner Meigs to the
Comptroller of the Currency relative to
the condition of the Freedman’s Sav
ings and Trust Company of Washing
ton city, concerning which there have
been some unpleasant rumors, shows
that the ollicurs of that institution have
been guilty ol violations of Us charter
in many respects.’ The report says :
‘Many loans are of a kind thatshoulci
not appear upon the records of a sav
ings bank, and finally result in some
loss to the institution ; but the proba
ble amount of such ultimate loss it is
very difficult to determine at this
time. The bank has been from the
beginning mainly under the direction
of members of the Young Men’s Chris
tian Association.”
The i‘xaminer has recommended
that the Charter of the Washington
Cily Savings Bank and the Fredmen’s.
Bank should be taken from them be
cause they exceeded their charter
rights, and in consequence there has
has been a heavy run upon the former,
and a modi-rato run upon the latter and
tin; National Savings Bank.
We see that the Radical nabobs at
Washington are propo-ing to build a
new and more elegant residence for the
President. The old H'/u'fe House, (hut
was good enough for such plain and
simple old chaps as Jackson, Polk,
Buchanan and Lincoln, is now declared
lo he unfit for the residence of Presi
dent Grant; and a few millions of dol
lars, no doubt, will be appropriated* to
build a suitable mansion for the “Here
President.” .And pray, why not? In
Pennsylvania they doubled the salary
of Hartranft over any of his predeces
sors, and straightway they appropria
ted six thousand dollars to refurnish
Ins house. And now that they have
doudied Grant’s salary why should
they not build him a more magnificent
palace also. All these extravagant
public improvements hurt nobody but
the tax-payers, ami they won’t dare to
say anything, so pile on the burden.—
This is Radical logic and loyalty.
Pm nce Imperial Lieutenant
Fred Grant, has been promoted to the
rank ol ''Lieutenant-Colonel ! What
services did lie ever perform to entitle
him to tills promotion over the heads
of oleier and abler officers ? Fred grad
uated at West Point about a year ago.
He stood foot of a class of sixty-seven.
After ho graduated he was sent to Eu
rope on a government vessel at Gov
ernment expense, in company with
Lieutenant-General Sherman, who took
care of him. Me returned a few
months since, and is now made Lieu
tenant-Colonel ! Is Grant crazy on the
subject ol piling up riches for his (iwn
family ? Our time will not permit ua
to say more now on this last outrage,

Penalties for Selling Liquors.—A
correspondent asks “How is Illegal liquor
selling going to be punished, since Local
Option law p ri’t-eribcs no penalties for
aching liquor without license, afte;'a ma
jority shall have voted against license?”
Because lo have done s-o would have been
wholly unnecessary. It repeals none of
the penalties now existing, and hence
any person selling without license, or on
Sunday, cun be punisheo just, as hereto
fore. When any city or county votes'
against license, no license, wholesale or
retail, can bo granted therein for the pe
riod of iliteti > ears ; and a.I licences in
force at tho time of the election will ex
pirn on Ihe lirsi of April ensuing. Those
who continue to selj will therefoie be

in force against illegal liquor selling.

Option, law: “That contained In li.e

sale of liquors for meplcat and inainif .ct
uring purposes.” Homo contend that
druggists under I his scor-iou, will be en
titled to license to sell liqnois ; ami will
thus have a monopoly of the t radio. Thu
action, however does not bear any inch
construction, and if druggists sell liquors
