In one district, in the city of .S or an ion, containing but 4t>7 legal voters, the Election Board returned a Dern oci atic majority of over one thousand.

We commend the charge of this i 1 >euocrutie Ju Ige to the attention of 1 Reformers M tlure, Forney and W al- 1 lace, and submit to them that it is i hardly worth while to harp quite so 1 much about the Philadelphia Regis-; try law. The people have eyes and •; they know that election frauds are the invention of Democratic polit'.-i eians, and that they and their allies j are not likely to advocate any meas- j lire of genuine reform. We helieve t the great ma-o of the people of both \ j parties earnestly desire honest elec- | j lions and that they will find the , means of securing them. Rut they will do tnis muside ol the agencies • proposed by the men who carried this j i for Ruchanau in 135(> by fraud and : chicanery. Governor Hartranf*". ' ; Every act of the new Governor, i with a single exception, has been en tirely satisfactory to his best friends and lias confounded his worst cue- j 1 mies. liven the Ehilarln. Press, the! < lnot malignant and unscrupulous of hi> opponents, is constrained toad-;' init that John F. Ila it ran ft is mak-j: ing the best Governor Pennsylvania I has had for a long time. Not it) 1 twenty years have we had a Cover- < nor with sutlh-h nt backbone to have - vetoed the Somerset gratuity act. i This Hill appropriated seventy-five | thousand dollars to make good the losses of certain citizens of Somerset by fire. There was no more reason why the ' stilferers 1y thi> fire should be paid for their lossi s out of the State Tieas-1 ury than the sufferers by any other lire, 'l'o have naid Somci-K.-t n-..-- l ave thrown open the Treasury to. the demand for all losses by fire and to convert the Commonwealth into one grand Fire Insurance Company . The Governor foresaw the disaster| sure to flow from such a precedent and put his foot down firmly. lie ! as been equally firm in vetoing a large amount of pernicious legisla- 1 tion to the gnat joy of all honest men. it does ~ne good to read the sturdy common sense veto s of Governor I 1 lat'tland. fie \ come lreqiiently, and are alvrrys welcome as a speci men of the true nnglo saxon english with which these wtocs alioimd, we give the closing paragraph of his ; message returning without his appro \ u House Bill, No. ('53, entitled a An act extending tlie time for the payment of tlie enrol in nt tax on certain nets, heretofore passed." After explaining the laws in relation to tlie enrolment tax end stating that the Pill returned affected sixteen hundred and twenty two private acts, he closes with this wholesin • ni l encouraging para graph: Tiie amount due the Common wealth upon these sixteen hundred and twentv two private and corpor ate acts, time would not permit me to ascertain, but the sum must be large. It will lie obs, rved that thirteen hundred and thirty of these re's ere for 'he erection of corpora-, tions or gis ing them additional prit i h-ges. The law permits t'-e payment of the enrolment tax within one year —a time suifcieiit, and within wliieh any bona tide corporation could and does pay. It is those gotten up purely for spceidatiov, not from pub lic necessity or for public good that profit by the character of legislation contained in the bill returned. It is a notorious fact., that for many years past, charm-tors of incorporation have been obtained for the express pur- 1 pi'of oi suit-—for the mere purpose of i trade and traffle, and so used and to such an extent not very creditable to the Commonwealth. They pay no enrolment t w under the system here tofore pursued of extending payment of same until their owners find pur chasers. The sooner this class of. legislation is ended the better, and one effective wjv of doing it will be not to extend the time for the pay ment of enrolment taxes. Surely those who consume the time of the Legislature for private advantage or gain, and ofcen to the prejudice of public bu- mess, should at least be required to pay v'thin tb*t!me fixed the tax irrwovrd thereon. There are now, as before stated, sixteen hun dred and twenty-txeo of these prirate acts, of which thirteen hundred and thirty relate to corporations of van one descriptions. By the law a> it now stands, those of them upon which the enrolment tax is not paid on or before the first day of May next (1873), will then become null and void. It will end many, if not a great majority of these sixteen hun dred and ticenty-tvo acts, enable the Commonwealth to know what private acts she has granted are in lorce and what are not, and prove a blessing to tlie Commonwealth generally. For which reasons 1 return the bill unapproved. JOHN F. HARTRANFT. The Indians. There lias been an effort made this winter to dispossess the Cattaraugus and Allegheny Indians of parts of their Ivnds. We are glad that the President vetoed the bill. It will be time enough for our government to move in that matter when the Indians themselves apply for such moditica tion of their treaties as shall enable them to sell if such ability is now wanting. A writer in the Oltan Times from Salamanca, gives another plan for procuring those lands that the white people covet, which lie thinks more just and equitable than that proposed in Congress, and in one respect it seems so as it proposes their becom ing citizens of the United States as fast as they desire it, and subject to our laws. We hope this poor little remnant of the ancient race may be suffered to live and die among us and that they may be treated as becomes j the hoi or of a nation to treat them. : OWING to delay of the mails sever al items of news which should have appeared in last week's JOTRNAT. 1 were not received in time for it. The most important of these was the wreck of the Atlantic. Some ac count of this is now given lor those who have not access to other papers. The first accounts wi re as usual ex aggerated, the latest being that near ly half the whole number of persons weie saved. No women or children escaped, those of them that were washed out of the ship being carried ■ out to sea. They wore mostly emi grants: English, Scotch, Irish.Welch, Norwegian, Germans and Swiss. As always when such disasters occur there were wonderful lcats of during and generous self sacrifice recorded. There have been so ninny wrecks within a few months, so many have gone out from life without a moments -".lining Uiat it seems as though v.- could barely dare to read. WHAT arc ealUd brctk-n-ck feats came to a sudden end in the theatre last week. The morbid desire b> hair breadth escapes from death or injury draws large crowds to those places of amusement w here thest break-neck feats are performed. It has been a subject of wonder for many years that so many even respectable people, will go to witness those terrible exposures of life and limb called acrobatic Performances, circus performances, etc. It is thrilling, exciting, almost ex hausting to one's feelings, to witness the imperilling of human life, the hair-breadth escapes risked for the sake of saving life, offered up in cases of extremcat need, but these can be endured because they arc necessary, and admired hccan.se they are brave. But the risking of life for mere amusement, the putting men and women and even little children into such positions and actions of danger as make one shudder and chill with fear, seems very much akin to the anc'or.t gladiator contests which Christianity looks back on with hor ror. Not only is there the present peril, wo know it is daily cncoun. tcn-d, and must have been for years thill little children have been trained to it from even those infant years that should be passed in the safe shelter of mothers arms. Are we really a civilized people when we encourage such things? Christianity should go much farther, and prevent them by making love to our brother too strong to endure such spectacles, but civilization ought to be sufficient to make such barbarous displays avoided and discouraged. IN alluding to the frightful loss of life by the wreek of the ship Atlan tic, near Nova Scotia, and the loss of live hundred and forty-six persons, of whom over three hundred were women and children, the Buffalo Ex press says: This frightful calamity will again call attention to the conservative and won derfully successful principles on which the Cunard Line is managed. That company lias made it a rule to sacrifice everything to the safety of the passen gers and the ships, Tlicj do not make a commander's reputation depend upon the time he- makes in a series of trips. They let the mails go to faster ships. They are (comparatb ely) slow hut sure, and they have never lost a vessel. They will not appoint a man to be third or fourth officer, even, who lias uot already j commanded a ship. The discipline in their service is as rigid as that in the Royal Navy itself. The result of this ! system is that tlie Cunard Company ( have the most careful and efficient set I of officers ever known in the Merchant ! Marine and their record as a steamship ' company is entirely unparalleled. ; iSurolv if there is a safe line of - ' ships as the above article says it should be known as widely as pos : | sible.

EDITOR: A swum of my good fl ' friends send me your valuable paper, i I thought that your many readers might like to hear a word fnun me. Well, I have lived here almost three years, long enough for me to form a correct opinion of this part of the old North State, i.e., the part I reside in. I saw a communication in your pa per asking, "Where do our birds go to in the winter?" I think I can in i i fonn your readers where some of them go. First, I will name the robins. We have them here all winter by the thousands; thev stav in large flocks ' - land subsist on the cedar and holly j j berries, etc. We have crows and j blackbirds by the tens of thousands; in fact we have double the quantity; ' of birds here in winter that we have ;in summer. We have the sweetest ! singer of all our American birds—the mocking-bird. By day and night you may hear him sing. 1 have often I heard him sing at midnight as I lay •in my bed. We have a number of : them that hatch in our yard; they love to stay close t' the dwelling of man. We have a state lav. to pro tect them, a line of $5.00 for every bird killed. A word about our State in general. |We have both good and poor soil. I j never saw a soil so easily improved I in any country; if you put a light.) | sprinkling of manure on it you w ill see the effects of it for ten years. The most of our soil is a dark loam with a red clay sub-oil. We raise the best of white w heat, corn oats, rve, | i cotton and tobacco; clover does well but the peopit* do not sow much. We jean grow almost all kinds of fruits:! the apple, peach, apricot, nectarine,; j cherry, fig, prune, quince and dam-; I son. We raise the iri-h and sweet I potatoes. No t rouble to grow all you want, but our staples arc cotton, to-! j bacco, w heat and corn. The price (.1 our lauds may be of ! some interest to your readers. The! average price is $ 10 per acre close to ! the railroad; well improved land is, 8 la to $25, according to location,: I etc.: very choice, with good build-! < ings, as high as § -">0 per acre. Water pure, soft and cool, and plenty of it. , Tit.iUci in abundance and ot the best, \ quality. Oak and hickory predomi- j linte; in fact, 1 never saw as good hickory in any country. Our mar kets are good: cotton (upland mid idlings) It; to 18 cents per lb.; wheat ! $ 1 .at) toftl.Tfr per bushel, corn .7 5, oats .80, rye $1.00; pork .10 per lb.; luin ; her slo per thousand; Eggs .1.) to j .20 per dozen; butter .20 to .25 per | lb. in small rolls—they do not know i how to make good butter in this conn- 1 , try. The price of store goods as lbl- I low s: prints .1O to .15, sheetingH (ettin ' dard) .14 ; coffee .25 to .50, sugar .12i' jto . 1 i, syrups SI.OO to $1.25, molasses .35 to .75. Our schools arc in a very backward state but we are in hopes of having them in a better shape soon. As to the people they are kind and pence : able; no trouble about any one com i ing here to settle and live if he only ! does what is right. lie can vote as ; he pleases and there w ill he no ques tions asked. I live in the b:.nnei j county of the Stale; we elected even officer in the county by a handsome majority. lam as strong a Republi can as 1 ever was and I believe a littli more so. , I will close by saying I never s:v a country that God lias done so much for and man so little. Slavery did ; not go up too soon. 11. S. SUAFER , HERE is a thought so vast it takes one's bre.\th away. Taking tlu ' statement of the writer of "Sea and Shore," in Harper's Magazine, that the Pacific Ocean is in places fifteen miles in depth, that seems almost as great an obstacle as the distance: A PACIFIC CABLE. —The scheme of connecting China and Japan with Hie United States by a submarine cable, will sooner or later he carried out, vast and. to many, insuperably difficult as it may seem. A dozen years ago—as the Boston fi'W*! aptly remarks—the dis tance between Newfoundland and Ire land was looked upon in much the same way, and hundreds of shrewd scientific men wore ready with apparently 1< gical reasons to show why it could not possi bly In* accomplished. The cable was laid, however, and the fact established . that the current could le sent through the wire ten times the distance without diminution of power. A cable laid from San Francisco to 'connect with the two great Oriental nations whose commerce with this coun try is lieeoming of immense importance would find no landing place short of the Sandwich Islands, a distance of 2085 ) miles. From Hawaii to Yokohama the distance is 3,415 miles: but the route between the two ports is broken with ; small groups of islands, furnishing joints of relief if necessary. From Yokohama to Shangha* in China is log.", miles, making a total length of cable of 6525 miles. The beneficial results which would flow from such a connection are too palpable to be dwelt uj>on at length. ' It would give to the United States pri , ority over all other nations, corpora -1 lions or individuals in the establishment of new enterprises and the maintenance of present ones. It would not only place ' this country in the most favorable j>osi i tion for gaining and coutrolling.Orien tal trade, but it would give a wonder ful impulse to our commerce in those ! waters and prestage to our name, and inspire the inhabitants of those vast countries with confidence in us and 1 good faith toward us as a nation. Nor would it end with this. It would in i cite both China and Japan to a rivalry | in the arts which go hand in hand with commerce and civilization. To-day there is not amileof railway or telegraph in China. Japan, jnore pro- j gressive, is now in the limited enjoy ment of both systems. A quarter of a century from the day that sees America j and those nations electrically joined will see a regenerated East. The vast ; areas of China and Japan will be cross ed and reerossed by a network of rail- j i ways and telegraph wires, able and per ' nir.nent missionaries whose work can . never l>e undone. Already the ancient • ; prejudices in regard to foreigners are beginning to crumble away, and when | once the Orentials ojien their eyes to ! the advantages which they have for ' centuries persistently thrust from them, i the work of advancement will begin in I earnest. — Alaska.

HALIFAX, April I.—This afternoon la report being current that a steamer) I had lx-en wrecked on the coast and sev- j I eral lives lost was at first regarded as a j cruel April fool hoax, but this evening! ! the Cunard agents here received news : that it was all true, and that little of ; the truth had been told, the fact being that tie White Star steamer Atlantic, in commahd of Capt; 1 I Williams, from j ' Liverjiool for New York, while coining! into this port for coal, struck on Mea ! gher's Rock, near Prosper!, twenty-two j 1 miles west of Halifax, and liecame a to ; tal wreck. Of about 1000 souls on board, ! upwards of 700 were drowned. Third j j officer Brady arrived in this city this! evening, lie. says the Atlantic left Liv-j erpool on the 20th of March with up wards of 9<>rt steerage passengers and I 50 cabin passengers. The steamer experienced boisterous! weather during the passage, but all went well until noon of Monday the 31st j I of March, when the supply of coal IK*- j ; came nearly exhausted. The captain j [determined to put into Halifax. The, I captain and third officer were on deck . until midnight. The position was then I I judged to l>e Sainbro Light, bearing J jN. N. W. 39 miles. The captain then : went into his chart room, leaving orders to In* called if there was any | change of the vessel's jxisition. About two o'clock the ship struck. | PROVIDENCE, R. 1., April 2.—The j annual election for State officers and j members of the Legislature took place ! to-day. Ilenry Howard, Republican, j j wan ilwtwt Ooveviw by n very large ; i majority, with the remainder of the j State ticket, except for Lieutenant Gov- I ernor, for which there was no choice. MR. TWEED.-seeing that an invest'.-; | gation was to be had which would ecr- i | tainly cause some personal inconven ience to him and his friends, without a ' corresponding chance of advantage, sent his resignation to the Lieutenant-Gov ernor, protesting that the act was sim ply pro forma. It is broadly asserted that this uet relieves the minds of vari ous Senators who had been expecting to 4 get 1 u V to use Mr. T\v< id's expros l sion, if the investigation proceeded. THE Baptist Bible and Publication Society of Philadelphia does not believe in tlieexi mption of ecclesiastical bodies from taxation, and so. remarks the Stan dard, which holds the same views, "the Society, every year, steps up to the of fice like a man, and pays $513, or there- i about, for city taxes and water rates." IT IS reported that United States Treasurer Spinner has recently diseov- i ered that the certificates for the ten shares of Credif Mobilier stock handed to Judge Poland by (lakes Ames, as be longing to Judge Kelley of this State, still stand in the name of Oakes Ames as trustee, and that they have never i been indorsed over to anybody else. This • ;.s an important fact in vindication of Judge Kelley.— Cameron Press.

A MEXTIONABLE old lady died in Newburyport, Mass., last week. This was Mrs. Abigail D.Cook. She died on the 73d anniversary of her wedding and in the same room in which she was mar ried. Singularly enough her age is not given, but she was one of the. choir which sang at the welcome to Gen. Washington on Lis visit to Newburyport and she also sang at the commemorative services on the occasion of the General's death. She was the mother of nine chil dren and for sixty-five years a member of the church. She is said to have been 1 a very handsome woman in her prime and retained her sprightliness to the 1 last. — X. 1". Tribune. THE opening of the Boston Public Li - brary upon Sunday, which has occa - sinned so much controversy between the lilieral and conservative wings of the clergy, and public men, seems, from the testimony of the newspapers, to have thus far proved tne foresight of those w ho advocated the idea; it is tilled on that day by an oiderly assemblage of yonng men, who, contrary to the opin ' ion of the mere theologians, call for such books as have a tendency to refine and elevate, while the worthier periodi cals of the day and week are liberally patronized.—Came ran Press. As A curiosity of journalism the Li-; I bcrian Advocate maybe mentioned.

IF you live in a quiet town and wish to change, move for a railway and you will have a row 011 hand forthwith.

THE authorof"Words and their UsesV needs to be abroad, it seems. We are getting to apply some expressions so singularly.
