The Revenue Lous.
Eighteen months ago Congress was
foolish enough to take llio tariff duties
off tea and coffee It might as well
jo taken off whisky and tobacco, thci.
the four leading luxuries would be
exempt from taxation and would
rouko the action of Congress consist
ent, anyhow. Although the govern
ment tax of twenty five cents a pound
on tea, and Cro cents a pound on cof
fiee, lias been taken off for over a year
e.e fiouftckccpcr hero in the backwoods
has discovered it. . . Hut the revcrso is
llio fact. Coffee is now higher than
ever. Henry L. Dawes, Ch'm of tho
Ways and Means Committee in Con
groKg, who is now looking around for
tax and revenuo enough to keep the
.government inachino in running order
during tho next year, declared in a
speech the other day that if the JIovc
nue kept falling off during tho next
year us it had in tho past, thoTreasury
would lo rendered bankrupt. Among
tbo losses during tho past yoar is sir
teen million dollars on tea and nine
million on cotTeo. Hero we havo a
loss to tho government revenues of
twonly-fivo million dollars. Now,wuo
bus pockolcd that sum T The gov
ernment has lost it and tho consumers
of tea and coffee havo failed to reap
the benefit.' How much of that mon
ey wont into tho pockets of the Credit
Mobilier Congrosstncn, bestowed upon
Jl-eiii by tho lea and coffco ring, for
rcpealinir the Tariff! '. Mr. Dawes
cloaca with this pertinent question :
"If there .bo -ftuy value in this state
ment, I ask tho attention of tho House
a moment to this qncstion wholhcr
it Lo poesiblo for us in tho discharge of
our public duly, lo leuva the Treasury
in thin condition ? Its obligations
must go to protest unless it can bo re
lieved." Wo simply ask Mr. Dawes,
why did you depleto the revenues of
llio Treasury by taking tho tax off of
luxuries, while you never rolicvo the
people tu Uio umounl of ono cent
Wo say, quit your infernal tinkering
Kith tbo rovenuos,assuind tho rolo of a

The political ly begins to shed rays
of light and the future of tho Demo
cratic party is bright with bopa. On
every sido can bo soon tho evidences
of docadonco nnd disorganization o(
llio .Radical party. A long period of
extravagance and unneccsanry publio
expenditure) of tho people's money,
and repented aggressions upon tho
cardinal doctrines of our democratic
form of government, and tho palpa
blo mismanagement of its finances,
aro rapidly producing tho oonviolion
In tho minds of tho people that thbao
who havo governed them havo had
too long a loaso of power.
Change is it law of our individual
being, and it is equally so with tbo
existence of administrations. ' It is
not only that; In Congress, tho liadi
onl leaders in tho Houso, of whom
Dawes, of Massachusetts, is chief, ha
just struck tho key-noto of tho open
ing campaign, end warned his loyal
associates of tho coming wrath of tbo
pooplo who aro about calling thorn to
an account for their evtravnganco and
misrule in our national affairs, as well
as within the States. .
This is not all; locally tho enemy
is aim worse disturbed, in tho two
great cities, Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh, oar opponoule aro torn, dis
tracted and divided, and as wo writo,
their condemnation is buing'sealed by
tho peop'o- Peculation, defalcation,
onerous taxation and corrupt "ring
rulo'' has accomplished its work, and
tho people once more mado to rejoice.
However, it matters but litllo should
tho Philadelphia and Pittsburgh rings
succeed in counting themselves ir.
again, tlio seeds of dissolution aro so
thickly sown in tho enemy's fallow
that tho tromendous struggle, which
is now in progress, is a sure harbinger
of dissolution, oven in these their
strongholds. ' '
No organization, whether political
or physical, can sustain itself under a
condition of distraction and diversion
within 1 and constant assaults from
without. In this wo see the real con
dition of tho Radical party, nnd in it
wo can, if truo lo ourselves and our
principles, 'see and feel the day of
our triumph npproai hing. A disor
ganized and corrupt army needs but
to bo pressed by a pnlriotio and dis
ciplined force, infeiior in numbers
though it be, to bring dismay and do
feat to its demoralized ranks. Is ibis
notour opportunity? Friends, tho
hour is propitious, und unity and har
mony aro duties wo all should incul

fatal as corruption and decay.for theso
produco divided councils and aimless

concord prevail from tho borough or

Organized and syslemalio efforts,

llAnniHiiLiui, Feb. 14, 1871.
Ma. Editor: Tho argument on
tho reserved point in tho Evans caso
was heard on tho 10th instant, before
Judgo Pierson oT thin county. Tho
point as mnde by Mr. Hall, defend
ant's attorney, on tho trial of (his
case and which tho court reeorved,
was, that tho act of March 80, 1811,
for tho scltlomont of publio accounts
having provided tho plaintiff a reino
dy, it must be pursued and lho judg
ment of tho reserved point must bo
entered on tho vordict in favor of tho
defendant.
Thocounsol for plaintiff look tho
position that the Commonwealth had
a right lo tho common law remedy,
and wore not confined to the act oi
ls) 1. Judge l'ierson's docision was
reserved for a future day. .
In lho Senato, this week, lho judi
cial apportionment bill has receivod
much attention. On second reading
of tho bill Mr. Wallace amended the
first sootion thoroof, by strikikingoul
'to which tho counties of Perry and
juniata nro uerooy attached." Mr.
Wallaco said, "I desire lo stato the
reasons for this amondmcnt, as it
may, perhaps, become proper on this
consideration of tho subject matter of
tue oiii, to ma no other amondmend
monls. My view of lho Constitution
differs somewhat from that of the
Senator w ho has this bill in chargo
(Rutan)." Ho tlion continues, Btuling
that counties having forty thousand
inhabitants shall bo separate judicial
districts under lho provisions of arti
cle fivo, section five, of the new Con
stitution, and that where a county
that is contiguous to such an one, and
having less than forty thousand inhab
itants, it can bo attuched to any olher
county having less than forty thous-'
and inhabitants. W.o cannot attach
such county to a county having forty
thousand, as tho Constitution requites
tho attachment of such county to an
other county of lho same character as
itself. Whenever a county having
less than is requisite to entitle it to a
separate judgo, and is surrounded by
counties having each tho rcqusito for
ty thousand, then, in that ovonl, the
minority county must bo nnnoxud to
ono of lho majority counties, as lho
Constitution will not allow that two
majority countios shall be thrown to
gether judicially when separated by
a majority county." Mr. 'Wallace
urjrcd able arguments to prove his in
terpretation of lho Constitution the
correct ono. The bill is exciting a
irreat deal of interest all over tho
Stato and many protests havo heou
received from counties asking for a
change in lho dinlricts in which their
own county is located'.
Tho following bill was introduced
in tho Houso, Ibis week : "That the
payment of interest on deposits by
privato bankers, Stato banks and Na
tional bank-, is prejudicial to tho best
interests of the people of this Com
monwealth, represses privalo enter
prise, and yields to capitul therein
employed a return greater than thai
employed in any other form, Jlesolord,
That lho committee on lho judiciary
bo and are hereby inslruotcd lo pro
paro and report to this Houso. a bill
consistent wilb lho Constitution and
laws of this Commonwealth, and of
the United States, bv which payment
of interest on deposits shall be forbid
den, and such penalties imposed ,as
shall prevent tho snmo." If such" a
bill should be reported and pass,and bo
coino a law, it would undoubtedly ere
a to tho greatest chano in financial
alTair that could possibly happen.
On Thursday last, Senato hill No.
41 was taken up in tho House, it be
ing a bill explanatory of certain parts
of lho new election law. It cites in
tho fir I section that lho assosors ap
pointed in tho election bill, sections
fourteen aud fifteen, ore hereby do
clarcd to bo assessors only lo perform
such duties as are now rcquirod by
law of assoesors incident to the hold
ing of election and registration of
voter', and that the office of assessor
for purposes of valuation, with all the
duties incident thereto, shall conlikuo
and remain as are now provided for
by law : provided, that iu townships,
boroughs and wards comprising but
one election district, the axsossors for
purpose of valuation shall be assessors
for tho holding of elections und ihoreg
istration ot . voters. Section second
provides for the returns of tho elec
tion of township or borough oftlcers
to bo sent lo tho clerk of the Court
of Quarter Sessions of the county, in
stead of lo the prolhonolary of the
Court of Common Pleas. Tho bill
was tbon amended, inserting a third

condition passed second reading.

Tho matter of bringing suits against

boon postponed for the present, on ue
oount of lho fiiiunclul trouhlos, and in
tho belief that a largo majority of
those so indebted will, It lurtlior timo
be given, pay without being compelled
lo do so by suits. It is strongly urgod
that all owners of uitpatonleil lands
should mako prompt payment there
for lo the State, and perfect titloty
application for patent, thus saving in
terest accruing us well as cost of suits.
Spcciul attention is csllod to tho neces
sity for additional legislation for the
heller protection of land owners
Under the present law persons mako
it a business to search for defects or
what thoy supposo to bo such in the
titles of others, and in many such
oases they havo tho roquired applica
tion exocotcu in aomo distant piaoo,
wboro lho real owners oan havo no
knowlodgo of tbo preliminary slops to
dispossess thorn ol thoir lauds, 4wd as
the Ijand Department has no connect
ed mapa to show wbethr"tho land
has boon previously lakon up or not,
expensive and tedious litigation has
boon entailed on many pontons who
supposed that all their rights were
covered and protected. To roinody
this evil it is recommended that the
witness, as to the land being improved
or not, should bo a resident of the im
mediate rioiuity of tho land applied
for, and that at least thirty days' no-
tico should be required by publication
in one or mnro papers of lho county
of the fact of the application, wilb a
description of lho land, its location,
and boundaries. The Surveyor- Uon
eral believes that Ibis will not In any
way intcriere witu applications for
vacant lands made in good faith, and
in cases whero lho lauds bolong lo
others it will enable them to cavoat
against tho iseue of a warrant, as well
as lo perfect any defect shown to cx
iftl. A further recommendation is an
oxtonsion of the pre-emption right so
as to covor all cleared lands actually
used by tho party in possession, and
for which ho pays taxes, but by over
sight or want ot 'knowledge has failed
to ported title by warrant and survey.
