electing our county ticket, consisting
of a Prolhonotary, Register A Record

Auditor, and our district ticket, Con
gressman and Stato Senator, and in all
probability an Assistant Law Judge
wo will have to elect two Judges of
the Supremo Court, a Lieutenant Gov

And in the (Aggregate olect twenty.
eeti Congressmen, a large number
of .Senators and '201 Representatives,
whoee duty it will bo to elect a Unilod

Chairman Murray.
This notorious hypocrite last woek
fcrnlsbed the Journal with another
essay on oar bumblosolf, and in imi
tation of bis prototypes, Thomas Pep
per and Schuyler Colfax, dlsoounts
truth ao enormously that be has rob
bod them of their well earnod laurels.
This creatm e is by nature a disss mbler,
by design a flunkey, and by occupation
a lloeler, of so gross a clmractor that
bis own party friends stand amazed
at bia impudence and degeneracy.
He profosscs to be a Christian(! i and
assails all who fail to embrace his
viowt, or do bim reverenoe. Meek
man ; though not a Mono. Bat we
cannot afford to waste loo much nmu
nition on this "dead duck" Christian,
who strains at gnats and swallows
camels. The street corners of Jerusa
lem were crowded with such rroaturcs
eighteen hundred years ago. Although
Tom is as shy of tbe truth as a fox is
of a steel trap, he accidentally blun
derod on a speck of truth in this last
essay, which, if properly husbanded,
will contribute something toward the
public good. What we allnde to is
this : Wo somo time Ago called public
attention to the fact, according to the
Report of tbo Auditor General, that
tbat office, instead of having its affairs
administered by statesmen for the
public good, was in tbe hands of shys
ters, who were robbing tbe taxpayers
of the Slalo. And we furlbor illus
trated our viows by showing the onor
mous bills paid to certain newspapers
for advertising.
Chairman Murray ,in bis essay ,coun.
ters and makes the truth-more patent.
In fact, bis statement is conclusive
proof of what we stated, viz: that the
office is administered without law or
fixed rulos of any kind, and that its
affairs aro adjusted to suit personal
and party intorcst first, aqu if any.
thing inures to tbe benefit of the pub
lie afterwards, it would, like tbe kernel
of truth in tbe canoo paddler's spocches
or essay, bo an accident. .
. The Liquor Otusllon.
Tbe proceedings in our Legislature
on this question show that tbe "body
polilio" is greatly disturbed. Tbo
Liquor Leaguo, in proparing for the
proposed repeal of t ho local option
laws, come to the contest with a can
lious self-assuranco which seems to
presage victory. They claim that
their only desire is a good and uniform
law. Thoy do not want this local
oplion trap continued, in which they
assert a few unsuspecting and mainly
innocent victims aro caught, whilo the
great mass of the offenders escape.
A circular over the signature of the
great Reading brewer, Frederick Lay
er, has been prepared for presentation
to the Legislature, in which they set
forth: .
"That the prohibitionists, disregard
ing the teachings of history, and their
own experience ol tbe lolly ol attempt
ing to control the appetites of men by
local enactments have forced Ibis ques
tion upun u." "As neilhor of the
great parties of tbe duy, Republican
or Democratic, have taken sides upon
Ibis question, we are at liberty to dis
cuss it as a question of morals or of
political economy."
"As to tho sumptuary laws in
local point of view, the experience of
every slate tbat bus enacted mem is,
that tbeir cUects have been evil in
stead of good, and that tho laws tlicm
selves are to a great extent a dead
letter."
"Perhaps in no State in the Union
have the probibilionislssiruggled more
pers'stonlly to enforce their notions ol
temperance upon tho poople than in
Massachusetts, and the testimony of
somo of ber best men will show wab
what result.
' Hon. Jamos IT. Duncan, of Haver
bill, says : "My observations are that
tomporance lias not been promoted by
tbo prohibitory laws."
Rev. Geo. D. Putman, D. D , says :
"I beliove and know tbat prohibitory
laws produce demoralization and dis
respect of the law. Il is injurious to
the consciences ol tbo peopla to be at
wars violating tho law. So fur as
liquor drinking is concorncd, the law
has cloiio no good.''
Rov. B.F. Clark says: "I think tho
prohibitory law hasbeon disastrous to
the cause of temperance. '

Mr. Editor i Tho increased num.

tbo dimensions of the now building,
and after the plan is decided upnn,tho
above commission shall bid for its
building in prominent papers, and
shall givo the contract to the lowest
bidder.. Tho present Hall of the
House of Representatives will at the
en mo lime bo convortcd into rooms
for the use of tho Legislature. Tho
sum of $150,000 is appropriated for
ine purpose oi erecting tuts now
building and making the repairs and
changos the bill calls lor.
The subject of the repeal of the Lo
cal Option law is again exciting a
great deal of interest hero. Numer
ous petitions are oflerod in both Sen
ato and House every day, both for
and against local option, Tho ques
tion as to whether or not it would be
constitutional to repeal this law was
roferrod by resolution of the House
to Attorney General Dimmick, who
decided that the. power making the
law bad certainly the right to repeal
it. It is scarcely possible however
that this Legislature could muster a
majority in favor of its repeal.
A petition was read in the IIousq,
last week, calling upon tbo Board of
Public Charities to report to the Leg
islature the condition of tho Insane
Asylums of the Stale, giving their
numbers, condition, treatment, Ao.
Tho suid Board of Charities in their
report to tho Legislature find much
fuult with some matters connected
with tho care of the insane at the
State Lunatic Hospital here, which ia
under tho control of Dr. C'urwen. The
Doctor and tho Board of Managers of
the Hospital hold a meeting and pnsicd
resolutions denying tho truth of the
charges. Thoir truth or fulsily will
doubtless be the subject of legislative
inquiry.
A resolution passed the Houho on
the 3d instant lor tbo publication of
tno now constitution in a separate
volume. The net fixing tho salaries
of Supremo Judges and Judges c
Common Pleas Courts was fully Jis
cussed in the House during thu past
week. Ihe pnncipul diuiculty was
mainly on account of tho additional
fiJ.OOU paid by tho city of Pbiladel
pbia to her judgos in addition to their
regular pay, etlorts being mailo to
huve the State pay this instead of the
city.
A new bill was introduced in the Sen

It Is stulod that General Sheridan
is at Washington, lobbying to have
the regular, army Increased from
30,000 to 85,000. Tbs soldiers
are decreasing in numbers, while the
officers are constantly increasing, and
if tho aggregate is not raised, some of
these shoulder strapped gentlemen
must resign or turn professional loaf-
ors. Hence the "legging" for 6,000
more men by Sheridan and Ins con
federates, who nover atop to think
what such loafing costs tho treasury.
Tho Now York Sua, whose editor
knows something about war, remarks :
"The only logical reason that can

is not passible to find in tho relations

is Ihcrc, then, for tho existence oi our
army of 30,000 mn ? Thcro nro

Bight thousand men will amply suffice
tor this work. Twentv two thousand

Fred Gdant's New Assionmext.
Last winter, when Fred Grant was
sent out lo Chicago to displnco tho
gallant Gon. Forsytlio oil Sheridan's
stuff, the Lieutenant General fell con
strained to explain, in n general order,
ill 'it young Gram's title of Lieutenant
Colonel was only a local rank, to be
dropped whenever he retired from tho
stall'. Gen. Sheridan, al Ihe time be
issued the order containing the above
information, probably believed whul
ho wroto, and expected that the prom
ise would bo fulfilled, but a recent
event goes lo show that, -whilo he

This is not nn nnnsunl way for the
Chief Magistrate to treat his subordi

A Sknsibi.e Proposition. Senator
Anthony of Rhodo Island has intro
duced a hill providing that no speeches
shall hereslier be printed in Uio Con
grtisional liceord except such as are
sciuully delivered on tlio floor of Con

is now before tlio lluuso of Represen

for members to gel loaro (o print
speeches which huvo never been spo

great bore, to b sure, in many in

saddles the country with a heavy nnd
useless expense.
Most ol the speoches which arc de

true, there is a speech which contains
something and has a meaning to it ;
but as a gonoral thing the productions
