' Clearfield, March 4th, 1874.
, The Bank Question.
One of the most important legislative
movements which has been made this
winter, is that of prohibiting banks
and banking companies and banking
associations from paving interest on
deposits. Tho movomont in Congress
and our State Legislatures looks like
concert of action, and as though somo
thing practical was contemplated, but
it may after all prove only a "feeler"
or "pincher," and result in granting
do relief to Bubtantitl business inter
ests. ' v ...
The bill introduced into the United
Stales Senate by Mr. Boulwell, as an
amendment to the currency act, makes
tbo penalty four timos that of he in
terest to te paid, or received, and com
pels the Comptroller of tbo Currency
to bring suits for the recovery of the
penalties whenever such violations of
the law are brought to bis notice.
Dr. Potter, our member of Assom
lly, introduced a series of resolutions
in that body, three weoke ago, look
ing to the same end. What tho views
-of a majority of our law makers are
npon this point, have not boon ex
pressed, but the members must be
very stupiJ if they do not know that
'the banking business is now the only
paying business in this country.
While money invested in a bank yields
the owners from 25 to 60 per cent,an
noally, that invested in a c6al mino,
fire brick : works, saw mill, black
smith Rhop,furnaco,farm, planing mill,
or woolen manufactory, etc., yields
the owners scarcely any return. Even
the merchant and active trader, who
tarns bis money often, cannot com
pete with the banks, who have bo
come rivals in every branch of trade,
and by the rare opportunities tbey
-possess, can and do borrow all the
money in the country at living rates
of interest. And whenever an ac
tive business man wants to use a fow
thousand dollars to repair or enlarge
his factory or machinery, he is
compelled to go to a bank and pay
doable and tripple rates of intorest
for the roonoy, or abandon Lis busi
ness and let it run down, or borrow
tho money at sixty days and broak
op ; just as he likes. These enormous
profits aro ' paid to establishments
which do not add a single dollar to
the substantial woallh of the country.
They neither spin nor sow. They
manufacture no wagons, produce no
nails, run no saw mills, or other man
ufacturing establishments. They put
no chairs, stoves, fuel or provisions in
your house ; thoy clear np no farms
and erect in a great measure no shops;
but they really prevent all this, be
cause eight-tenths of them are spend
thrifts, live very fast, and soon dis
cover that thoy cannot support them
selves, and then they devise some
moans to live off their neighbors.
Those modern comroorciul habits and
negative business transactors, and our
debauched morality, mistakon for re
finement, is what produces panics and
paralyses productive business enter
prises, I. ...... i j
Although thore are a thousand ac
tive business men to ono banker, the
latter has tbo power to coiitiol all of
them undor our present banking sys
tem. Tho banker knows who has
money, and he "goes for it," often at
less than legal intorest, and gathers
it in, and whon eilhor of the ono
thousand business men want money
they must go to Lira and pay from 12
to 20 per cent, for Its use; and if a
do ten call tho same day, the price
runs op to 25 and 30 per cent. This
is commercial murder. Shall we have
a change f We will boo.
Not Business Like. Tho Legis
lature has had the bills for advertis
ing the new Constitution before tbem
for nearly two months, yet that body
keeps higgling about the mattor, bo
cause a few morcenary publishers
charged about four timet more than
equity will allow tbem, and because
some published tho document without
tho ordor of the State Department,
and are also looking for big pay.
Why not pay those bills which appear
right on the face, and lot the imper
tinent and outrageous bills lio vrer
orfuliire consideration r y. :

Loyal Philadelphia. On our
first page will be found the report of
a commilteo appointed by tbo Reform
(Radical) Association of Philadelphia,
to examine into the numerous frauds
oommittod at tho late municipal cloo
tion in that city. We publish this re
port as a matter of curiosity to our
readers, few of whom are aware of
the enormous frauds committed by
tho loyal harlots of tbe Quakor city.
When Democratic editors point out
these frauds, tbe loyal hosts, in their
innocent simplicity, pronounce all
such charges falso "copperhoad lios"
used id be the pliritrjo. That branch
of tho Radical party in that city who
desire fair elections and rofuse to be
ruled and govorned by the criminal
classes, havo organized and are pross-
ng an investigation. Although the
Radical ticket was announced as dec-
tod by about 12,000 majority at the
late eloolion, It Is now protty well es
tablished, beyond a reasonable doubt,
that the McClurei ticket rccoived a
large majority of tho legal volos cast
in February.
In A Pick IK. Our Senators, Cam
eron and Scott, and our Congressional
delegation, are in hot water ovor the
appointment of Mr. Swoope's succes
sor. The candidates are so numerous
and pressed so vehemently by their
friends, and Scott's time for re-olec-lion
so close at band, that things have
been noarly boiling hot for over ten
days. Who the lucky man Will be no
one will know until tbe act Is done.

Letter from narriiburg.
Harrisburg, March 7, 1874.
If it. KntTOk: The loulslature is
getting down to hard work, undor the
beliof and desire of many of them to
adjourn this session on the nrst any
of April. To do this, If possible.thoy
have decided to turn tnoir aiiunuun,
first, to tbe passage of suoh bills as
the now constitution requires to be
passed at this session ) souond, to . the
passago OI the proper rovonue laws
of State, and last an appropriation
bill, which tbey allege will bo all the
important business thoy care to get
through with. But thore are so many
bills already introduced, and many
being introduced evory day which aro
apparently of importance, and mem
bers who voto adjournment April 1st,
and go. home to tboir constituents
without passing many of tho bills
sent them, will bo apt to stay from
next year's session, unless thoy can
satisfactorily explain thuir reason for
so doing, ilio dally papers hero say
that the legislature cannot adjourn for
throo or four months yot, and do jus
tice to thoir constituency.
Tho legislative reunion held here
last week by officers and members
who sorvod prior to 1848, was not so
well attended as It would havo been
a little later in tho season. The
weather was too cold for old men, (as
most of these mem bow are.) Rut
thoso who did como had a ploatant
time of it and seemed to enjoy it
very much. Tbey organized regular
oltiuers same as tbo legislature oi to
day, from the old veterans who had
filled theso same offices years ago.
They met in tho legislative hall. Hon.
II. B. Wright, of Luzorne, Speakor of
lue itouse in lo-U, was elected speak
er. He began by exhibiting two
bonnd copies of laws as . passed in
1843 and 1873. The latter he termed
the mastodon, the olhor tho mouse.
Ilia remarks wore received with great
applause by bis vctoran audicnco, lie
said, tbe first two years ho was in the
legislature he went borne in debt, but
the lust year boing elooted speaker, he
got a dollar more salary per day and
went homo with somo money in his
pocket. Many others mado speeches,
as did uov. xiariranii, who was
guest of tbo "vets." One old veteran
moved "that the Govornor of tbe State
boing present they proceed to pass an
appropriation , bill, which causod
much laughter and annlanse. The?
p
adjourned to meet here again Icbrua-
ry 22, 1876. They bod an olegant
banquot at tho lurkwood JUouso,
Tuesday morning Mr, Rutan report
ed to the Senate from commilteo, the
Legislative Apportionment Bill. As
it is too lengthy to bo published with
this I enclose you n copy thereof. .
The amendment to Senate bill No,
54, fixing the compensation of mom
bora ot tbe genoral assembly was
called up. It was moved to amend
the second section reducing the num
ber of transcribing clerks from five
to four; assistant dooi keepers, from
thrco to two ; transcribing clerks in
the Senate, from five to three; nssis
tant moSBcngcrs, from two to ono.and
striking out tho office of asnislnnt
postmaster. The amendment carried
by 13 to 11 votes. Mr. Dill moved to
strike out two assistant dorks in the
Senate, and make it one journal dork
and one reading clerk, agreed to. Mr
White, that tbo pay of chief clerks
be 02,500. and of assistant clerks
11,200 per regular sossion, instead of
per annum, as in the bill. . Not agreed
to. Air. mute ottered another new
sccton which was agreed to, provid
ing that dorks and other oilicors
should not bo paid extra for perform
ing other dutios ; also an amendment
providing that this act go into effect
on iiocomber 1st, 1ST 1. Ilia bill as
amended was then Agroed to. .
The corporation bill, (No. 44, cov
ering fifty-four pages of bill paper)
was called up on second reading. Mr
Wallaoo, who drew up the bill, ex
plained its objoct. Bio said, "this bill
is intended to create certain corpora
lions by general statute where .we
have no power to create by spocial
law. All ot the first class are the or
dinary home corporations, churches,
literary societies, and tho like. These
are to bo created by filing and record
ing a cortiBuato duly combed by
law judge. The second class are cor
porations for profit and may be crea
ted by nling cortincato with the uov-
ernor, who issues the loiters patent.
Provisions lor govorning all sucb cor
porations aro in the bill. Tho thought
is to make a bounded and harmonious
system for creating corporations, and
to save annoyance to the courts." Tbe
bill was amended by Wallaoo, While,
iiccbtol and other ho n a tors.
Tbe following passed first reading

lb House committee on the "usury
bill" scandal reportod on Wednesday
as follows i "They have examined a
large number of witnesses and have
exhausted every souroo of information
in order to arrive at all the facts bear
ing upon the subjeot. 1 From tba evi
dence taken the committee bavedrawn
the following conclusion ) . .
At some time prior to January 20th,
1874, Mr. W. II. Dimmluk, late mem
hor House of Representatives, or some
one In his bohalr, causod to be printed
a clroular dated Jah.i 1874,ahd sighed
M. ji.-AJMuuons, soeroiary, requesting
the several banks throughout the
Slate to circulate petitions favoring an
Increaso or the legal rata or Intorest
to seven per cent, per annum, and In
like mnner procured untrue petitions,
with printed headings to be sent with
those circulars to the banks. On or
about the 20th of January, Dimmick
and Lewis B. Riobtmyer, postmaster
of the Senate, in Room No. 01, Stato
Capital Hotel, bore, enclosod to and
addressed to the banks ana cankers
of tho State, oopiei of those documents.
The address of theso bankors was
takon from a bankers almanao bor
rowed from cashier Harrisburg Na
tional Bunk by J. M. Kreiter, for use
of Dimmick. Dimmick furnished tbo
dooumonts, envelopes and stamps nud
Richtmyer took tbem to the post
ollico and mailed thorn. Replies wero
rocoivod at tbo offioe here and sent by
Riohtmyer's orders to Senate office
whore Dimmick got them. Subse
quently Kreiter,at Dimmick' rcquost,
obtained tho signatures of Harrisburg
bankers to a writton documont relating
to this mattor. i
Tho authenticity of this documont,
is admitted by somo of the Harrisburg
bankers but denied by otborft 'Tho
majority of thorn alleged that it was
altored atlor they signed it. 'ibis pa-
. 1 . I. I 1"U io
per, Willi lilt) uiri'uutr ui A'uiuuary aa.
and an alleged copy of tbe bill (nrimry),
wore mailed to bankers br Kroitor in
bis offico, Dimmick being; with bim at
loast part of the time, ftorlhoy were
ready for the mail, BJchtmeyor took
them to tho postofheoand mailed tbem
at Dimmick s rcqueit.
Tho only known instancoi of re
mittances received, wore those sent to
Harrisburg banki. Those wero the
Union National Bank, Philadelphia,
to City Bunk, $125.00; tho Manufac
turers' National Bank, Philadelphia,
to Harrisburg National Bank,8250.00 ;
llrexol Si t o.. I hiladolplua, to Dough
erly Brothers, 175.00 ; Westorn Na
tional llank.l'niiauoiptua, to first Na
tional of Harrisburg, f 125 00, and
Second National ot Titusville sent
samo bank $100.00 to be paid if things
were all right. ibis is about tho
sum and substance of the doings of
tho committee, and throws but litllo
more light on the case than wo for
morly sent you for publication, and
don't amount to much in any way,
Tbo people know that there were
many more banks implicated in this
matter, and that rumors ot other leg
Motors here being implicated In it,
were very common. The report as
road was adopted and the committee
discharged. i ours truly,

The New Apportionment. In tbe

stricting the State into Senatorial dis
tricts and apportioning the mombors
of Assembly, Cloorfiold ia given one
member, thongh we shall not be sur
prised that before the bill bassos we
will be allowed two, as we lacked but
a row hundred persons in 1870 to en
title us to an additional mombor. Our
county, togethor with . Centro and
Clinton, constitutes the XXXlVth
Senatorial district. Tbe Legislature,
when organized in accordance with
tbe now Constitution, will be com
posed of 50 Senators and 201 mem
bers of the Assembly, while a Lieu
tenant Governor will preside over the
Senate, and be entitled to the casting
vote when that body is a tie. '
