And birds remind me of your voioe.

Come to ne when the wrinkled leaf
Falls likcthe tear of constant griof.

When Autimn to stern Winter yields
Coma wbenthe bitter edge of frost
Shrouds alllhe verdure of the flelds j
Come wbon ill else is dark and drear,

, , Venalitj and Corruption.
Tho New Tiork Tribune tliinki it
has found cute for venality and cor
ruption among tho Legislators of
Pennsylvania. It it to be pnt among
tho amendments to the Constitution
soon to be mace by our Convention.
This is the proviiion which the Tribune
suggests to os, ind it says, with op
piiiiiiit conrictioi, that if it hud boon
udopied in New York, it would hara
saved to that Sla'o millions of dollars,
lout through pccu.ntion favored by cor
rupt Icgixlulion. lloro is the rcmody:
Sbctioj. 1. Any nersoo boldiog eflloe under the
laws of this State, who, exoept in payment of bis
legal salary, fses or pi'raui.ites, receive or eon
scntsvto receive, directly or iodirectly.anything of
value er of personal advantage, or the promise
thereof, for performinc or omitting to perform any
official act, or with the expross or implied andcr-
standing tbat bis official action or omission to act
!i ta be in any degree influenced thereby. shallhe
deemed guilty of a felony, and on conviction shall
bo puul.ncd by imprlsonraint in a state prison,
for a term not exceedinr llrs rears, or by a line
not exceeding fire thousand dollars, or both, in the
discretion or tha Court. This section snail not
fleet tha validity of any existing statutes in rela
tion to the oncoee or briherv.
Ski:, l. Any person offering a bribe, If It shall be
aoeepled, shall not be liable to civil or criminal
prosecution therefore. But any person who uffers
or promises a bribe, if It shall be rejected by the
officer to whom it is tendered, shall be deemed
guilty of an attempt to bribe, which Is hereby de
clared to he a folouy, and ea conviction shall he
puui.hcd as provided in tbe flrst seotioo of this
article.
Hat-. I. Any person charged with receiving a
bribe, or wltb offering er promising a bribe that
is rrjected, shall be permlltsd to Uitity in hlsoau
mbftll iu mr " - prusocutiuo
fui. -
. 4. Any District Attorney, who shall fail
fsithtully to prosecute the riulstlon in bis county
or any provision or this Artiele whieh may eome
10 nil S l. U.J.. .L.ll ka nnml frum nmoe hy
the liovernor, alter one notioa and aa oppoitnnily
of teiug heard in his defense. The expensre which
shsll be incurred by any eounty, in iuvesligating
and prosecuting any aharge or britiery or attempt
ing to bribe any State vflioer or member of the
Legislature wilh such eounty, and of receiving
brMiea by any State officer or member of the Leg
islature In said county, shall he a oharge against
the State, and their payment by the State shsll be
provided lor ny law. .
It would groatly ioureaso our faith
in this prescription, if tho Tribune
conld certify that it had been tried
with efltict in Now lork, aim realized
there tho happy results anticipated.

Our law against bribery make the
oflVrico a fulony, and donounce against
it both fine and impnaonmcnt. ihpro
arc, on ojr statute book, substantially
theso very provisions to facilitate tho
deleclionnnd conviction of offenders.
But thrdjgh publio apathy and pri
vate ooiinivanco the crime goes un
whipt ofljustice. At tho liifct election
of a Senator, the Republican nomina

It is a well known fact, in political
as well as portonal economy, that

debtor, whether it is an individual, a
oity, a State or a nation, and the in
cubus of tbe weight dependt upon tho
amount ol too debt ns compared wttn
tbo inonni ol tuo debtor, uui por
haps it may be now and therefore
interesting to our roaders, to bo in
formed ot the aravitu or vonderousness
of debt, especially whea it flonsista of
larjutkuna of awney.. -
The debt of the United States,' as
reported by tho official authorities on
the 1st day of Dccombor, 1871, was
12,851,631,512. Tbe weight of this
amount, in gold coins of tbo United
States, is 7,G'Jl),"0l pounds. In silver
coins ot the United Stutos the debt
would weigh 130,450,515 pounds.
In order that these lurgo figures
may convey a more distinct impression
upon our readers, we will state the
amount in tonst -
Tons of gold,- h ...... 4,34s
Tons of silver, WIS
On an ordinary road it would re
quire 09,573 horses to haul tho above
amount, putting ono ton at a load for
each homo. If these loads wero in
carls, of courso it would require a
similar number of carts :
fn goldH 4.SIS cart.
In silver - 0i,Til "
If wo allow 50 feet to bo occupied
by each cart, it would make a train or
column ot carts lauen with gold ex
tending sixteen and one-half miles. In
tilver Iho line of carts would be tico
hundred and forty seven and one-half
miles:
In gold,.....

This would make a column of gold
and silver extending from the city of
Washington, via mlttmnre, Philadel

some miles oty.ma.
Can this debt be easily paid f Many
neonlo think so ; but let it bo remem
bored that it it more monoy by more
