A joint resolution has passed tho
Legislature authorizing tho Governor
to appoint three Commissioners to
investigate tho condition of tho bitu
minous coal mines in this Common

of the labor of tho country.
Waking up. Thcnpparont squoam
ishncss of Congress, oor tho Cen
tennial business lias fired up tho pat
riotism of rbiladclpbinris. The coun
cils of thut city have voted ono.mil
lion of dollurs out of the city Treasury,
and nearly as much moro has been
subscribed by individuals, within the
past ton days, toward erecting the
necessary buildings lor tho Exhibition.
Lieutenant Governor. The voters
of this Commonwealth will, next No
vember, vote for the first time for this
officer. He is lo be sworn into odieo
on the third Tuesday in January after
his election, and hold his office for
four years. .Ho will bo the presiding
officer in the Senate, and is to have a
salary of $3,000 por annum.

A Tbue Index. To show what
Radical reconstruction is doing for
South Carolina, -we need but refer to
the fact that tho "Mills House" hotel,
in Charleston, which was built bofore
tho war, and cost 8200,000 in gold,
was sold on tho 2d of April for ?27,
000. It is ono of tho finest hotels in
tho United States, but reconstuction
Las depreciated its value wonderfully.
Good Atvice. The New York Ra
tion, an excessively loyal journal dur
ing and since tbo war, wants Gen.
Grant to rid himself of his "wicked
'partners." This is good advice, but
rather sweeping in its demands.
Should "the government" act opon
tho suggestion of I ho journal in ques
tion, it would send all tbo leaders of
tho Radical party adrift, and conse
quently broak it up.
A Dead Lock. Tho MaEsachusetts
Legislature has been trying for three
weeks past to cloct a Senator to fill
tho vacancy cau?od by tho death of
Sumnor. Tho Democrats, about 75,
volo for Judgo Curtis; tho refined and
educated .Radicals, about 80, vole for
Judgo Hoar; and the Houghs, headed
by Bon Butler; from 83 to 90, vote for
Congressman Dawes, while General
Banks, Mr. Adams and several other
candidates receive from, ono to ten
votos each.
An exchange states that "Vice-President
Wilson leaves Washington for
his homo in Massachusetts a few days
hence. After spending some time
there he intends going to the Hot
Springs, Arkansas." This govern
ment official is compelled to do a good
doal of tramping lo get the Credit
Hobilicr fraud out of his stomach.
"Smilor" Colfux, is tho only great
criminal who "takes tho world easy."
m
At "Work Again. The Legislature
having adjourned over from the 27th
Of March to tho 7tb of April, fur rcsl
and recreation, is at work onco more.
Tho safary of tho members seems to
bo tho most interesting, although up
to tho proscot tbo most trouhlesomo,
question thut lias been before that
body this winter. AVo liavo no doubt
that an attempt will ho mado to draw
tlio $1,000 salary and call tho past
sitting a session, and then chargo $10
per day for the balance of tho session.,
In for Business. An exchange ro
marks I "It is proposed now to coin
silvor twonly cent pieces. A bill pro
viding for this has been favorably re
ported from the Scnalo Finance Com
mittee." This new govornmont on
torprir,o is scarcely necessary. Why
ongage in tho 20 cent business when
Wo liavo not silver enough to make a
few 5 and 10 cent bits. This ecliemo
is on a par with tho government at
tempt of resuming spocie paymont by
paying out $3, at ono sweep, lo each
cmplojo.
Tho Philadelphia Press says: "Com
missioncr Douglass, of tho Internal
Jlovonue Bureau, testifies thot he bo
Jiovcs all tho moneys collected by San
born and his agents could l.avo been
collceted by tho regularly appointed
and salaried internal rovenue officers
without expense to the Government.
This doos not improvo the comploxion
of tho Sanborn business" This is cer
tainly rough on the govornmont and
Ben Butler, who have brod and now
together defend the worst band of
I'ublio robbers that ovei dingractd
Tuui ah I'ueacujnu. Civil war al
most exists in Pittsburg and through
out Allegheny county on aocount of
tho recont assessment made by tho
Assessors in that county, which has
bcroloforo boon assessed bo misera
bly low that tho County Commission
ers were compelled to lay 10 mills for
county purposes, although tho richest
county in the Stato. Tho Pittsburg
Leader, in refcring to tho now assess
ment, remarks : "Assessment is not
taxation, but only tho basis for it.
Give us fair and honest assessment of
property without fear or favor, and
it will bo time to object when more
rnillago is put upon tho pooplo than is
necessary for the county expenses. If
the taxation levied on tho now assess
ments be exorbitant, we will join in
denouncing it, but to denounco tho at
tempt to muko honest assessments be
cause the taxes may bo raised on
thorn, is puerile." It Is seldom thai
wo find upon this Bubject so much law
and common senso in tho samo num
ber of lines.
A Riout About Face. Tho tax
payers of South Carolina having been
robbed of nearly all they poseosscd by
tlio black and white froo-boolors who
have ruled in that State for tho past
ten years, bnvo mado an appeal to the
President for relief, through a delega
tion of property ownors, who repaired
to the White House- on Fridoy lust
and laid their grievances beforo "tho
govornmont." The President respond
ed that ho was glad to meet the dolo-
rgates and very sincerely deplored the
alleged grievances with which they,
in common with tho taxpaying com
munity of the Stnto, wero afllictod.
IIo did not, however, bco wherein Ihe
cxecutivo or legislative branch of tho
government could interfcro with State
affairs. This is decidedly cool, whon
we lake the conduct of Grant in the
Louisiana caso into consideration,
where ho removed the Governor and
Legislature elect, and pluccd a lot of
scalawnss in power through a mili
tary order. Wo should say, after this
last act, that the Presidential compaBs
is pretty well boscd.
The Senate Disgusted. A Wash
ington despatch to the Boston Globe,
speaking of Chaplain Sunderland's
prayer over Mr. Sumner, says: "By
special request of tho Committee of
Arrangements, it was agreed that no
publio address or sermon should bo
pronounoed at tho exercises. As
shown above, howevor, tho chaplain
of the Senate took occassion to offer a
prayer, after tho reading of the Scrip
turcs, wherein ho injected not only a
sermon, but a stump speech. It waff
the general opinion that tho chaplain
not only transgressed the bounds of
propriety, but inflicted alike upon
dead and living a discourse from which
there was no escape. His prayer
continued for nt least half an hour, to
tbo utter disgust of tho cntiro audi
ence, itio popular verdict was that
tho Senate should at oneo soled
a new chnplain. Not only was tho
length of the prayer entirely out of
place, but tbo tone in which it was
dolivorcd was as affected as if it had
proceeded from a common actor on Ihe
stage."
Gen. Hawley on Butler. One of
the sovcresl paragraphs uttered by the
press on Butler is tho following by
General Ilawley's paper, the Hartford
Courant : . "Tho Washington corros
pondonteannounce lhatGenoral Butler
will bo among the eulogists of Mr.
Sumner when his death is announced
in tho Houso. If thocsscx statesman
had nny rogard for the fitness of things
or of tho wishesof tho American pooplo,
he would hold his tongue on this occa
sion; but it offers him anothor oppor
tunity to keep himself before tho
public, and for this purpose he will
speak hollow words of eulogy for one
who, in tho purity jf his public and
private lifo, was his anlipodo, and
whoso virtues must scorn to bim incom
prehensible - He will pruiso tho doad
Charles Sumner, whom Iivinghohated.
Ho will mount tbo coffin in ordor
that the public may see B. F. Butler.
It is as if a charlatan should cover
Sumner's gravo with posters of his
quack medicines.
Senrirle Views. John B. Gougb,
tho celebrated tempcranco orator, is
not pleased with tho woman crusado
on tho saloons. Jie says: "1 would
be unwilling to sco my wife or my
nioces going ubout among tho saloons,
praying, and singing hymns. I think
tho movement would help tho woman
suffrage cause very ranch, and I have
always had a sort of dislike to tho wo
man sntlrago business, ihe luoa oi a
band of ladies going through the
slrcots singing hymns and praying, is
repugnant to mo. Jt is tho tiuly oi
policomcn to clear away a crowd of
men obstructing tho pavement, nna J
think that women come under tho
samo restrictions.
A "Loyal" Judge. Judgo Duroll's
orders in bankruptcy proceedings in
Louisiana have boon unoarthed. They
are models of judiciul logerdomain.
By a sorics of ukases ho conslilu'.od
ono fortnnalo gentleman universal
assigneo of bankrupt estates, gavo bim
full swing in tho matter of fees, fixed
thoso who remonstrated against high
charges so that each man was fined
fifty dollars foracomplaint, and finally,
liod np tho whole business in tho
hands of ono or two men. The ostato
that onCo cot into tho hands of ihcso
jugglors was squeezed as dry as on
orungo. Something licsiuos inuuslruvl
prostration ails Louisiana.
Down, Down. The Chicago Tribune
says: Wo advanced tho opinion, a
day or two since that it probably
would not nt present bo prudent for
skilled or unskilled laborers to immi
grate to this country. A proof of this is
found in tho fuel that first clans car
penters in this city, who wero employ
ed a year ago at 83 por day, are now
glad to get tl.fiO. So great has been
tho decline In the cost of labor that
tho Board of Kduoation has just let
for 88,200 a contract for building a
school ho u ro after tho model of ono
built last year for $",000.

Hauuisuuru, April 7th, 1874.
Mr. Editor : The following, writ
ton to a country paper, by a goutlo
man of somo exporionoo in Stato af
fairs, who had visitod Harrisburg, un
dor both the old and the new Consti
tution, is as good evideuco of the salu
tary boifffit tho new Constitution has
conferred upon tho work of legislation
horo, whon it prohibits tho assistance
of a lobby, and tho introduction of
special legislation lor the benefit ul
tlio low and tho injury of tho many,
as bus over met my eye. Aflor de
scribing our cily, speaking of our now
water works, the valuable- and per
fect machinery turned out by our
largo manufacturing establishments,
iio., tho writer says : "Although our
business was nut 'on the Hill' or in
tho hotels, whoro legislative wisdom
and lubby impudonco wero wont to
congregate, wo could not fail to bo im
pressed with tho mnrkod contrast bo
tweon Harrisburg under the new and
tho old Constitution. Tho faces so
familiar around tlio 'Lochiol' in tho
prosperous days of the lobby wore
not to bo soon at the dinnor hour.
They were also invisible on Ihe floor
and in the lobbies of tho Senate and
Houso. In lh former we were ono
of tho only two oulsidors prosnnt, and
a prominent Senator assurod us that
what wo saw was a fair average of the
prcsont session. Tbo consequonce is
that tho Senuto is rising to tho dig
nity of a deliberative body, and wo
have no doubt that by tho lime the
machinery of tho now Constitution is
fully in operation tbo improvement in
tho House will bo no less marked. It
certainly will bo if tho peoplo at tho
next election of Representatives take
as much interest in ulocting good mon
as they did in changing their funda
mental law. Tho old ring-masters
still show their hands and their power
in shaping legislation to suit thoir high
prcssuro parly purposes, regardless in
many instances of tho wishes and in
terests of the masses, and this evil
will not be curod until the pooplo elocl
new men of a more patriotio and con
sequently less selfish nuluro men who
aspiro lo be statesmen rather than
politicians."
Following is the text of the bill be
fore tho Legislature to secure tho at
tendance of children nt school.
Section 1. Every parent, guardian

Sr.o. 1. It shall bethodutyof tlio col

section one.
Sec 6. All suits under this act shall

peoplo of the Stato of Pennsylvania
and for tho use of tho district whore
the ofTonno shall have been oommillod.
Tho opinions of newspapor mon are
decidedly hostile to this bill wborover
it has been tho subject of notice in
thoir columns. Thoy mostly claim
that tho timo has not yet arrived in
the history when mon, paionls, shall
bo dictated to by a Stale Legislature
in regard to the schooling of their
children. Prof, llorno, of tho K up
town normal school, disapproves of
Iho bill, and says as follows: "Tho
compulsory altoudunce bill institutes
a system of polico cspionago and
burthening of conscience, which even
the most unlimited monarchy would
not daro attempt lo carry into execu
tion a bill which, in its proposed
shape, will prove a doad loiter, inas
much as a fine of $00 imposed, as tho
bill contemplates, upon poor parents
for failure of sending their children to
school twolve wocks in a year, cnnnol
bo collected, in nine cases out of ton,
from the persons whom the luw pro
poses to reach a bill which holds out
inducements and temptations to dis
honesty and provarications, and it is
Ibo first stop In a froe country like
ours to force men to education, moral
aod rsbgious, in oppositioq lo consci
onltous convictions and freo will, un
initiatory to a union of Church and
State, from which "proservo us gra
cious Lord and God.
Messrs. Urvls and -Reynolds, who
mnko a minority roport in the Cnss
villo slandor, recommend, "that tho
proprietorship and control of the Sol
diers Orphans Schools should be trans
ferred lo the Stato and Stato authori
ties. That tho girls hud boys bo edu
cated and maintained in sclioolsscpa-
rately sot apart for each other. The
separation of tho sexes at the age nt
which scholars aro rccoived and cared
for in tho Orphans Schools Is a measure
of reform which wo boliovo will com
mend itself to tho gonoral judgment
without argument. Iho unlortunato
scandal at Cassvillo, only enforces the
propriety ol a change in this rospoct
without originating tho reason for It."
I lio purchaso of thoso orphan school
buildings by tho Stato can't bo objected
lo on Iho score of economy, nono of
the proprietors ot thoso schools are
generous enough to furnish tho build
ing gratis nocossary for their business,
although owned by Ilium, tho build
ings are nono tho loss a part of the
Mate charily, and some of the proprie
tors have managed to sccuro snug for
tunes out of the difference which tho
State pays and the poor orphan cols.
It is true that beforo many years thnro
will bo no orphans of soldiers of such
lender years as to require Stato aid,
but tho time is yot long enough t
warrant the stoppago of tbo present
vicious system ot (arming out children
to anybody, lours truly,

Rests from His Labors. Rev.
Thcopliilui Slork, D. D , an eminnnt
Lutheran divine, died in Philadelphia
on Saturday a week, aged about- 00
years. .Tho Press says : - Ho was a
native ol North Carolina, but camo
north early in lifo, and was for many
years pastor ol tho churches ol M.
Matthew and St. Maik.rin this citv.
lie was subsequently chosen prcsidont
ot cowberry tollego, in Houlli Caro

lion he came North, and becamo pastor

He remained in Baltimore about six
years, being during half that period
editor of tho Lutheran Observer. In
I8li8 Dr. Stork again came to Phila
delphia, and assumod tho pastorate of
ibt. Andrew s church, winch he held
until about two years since, when he
was compelled by ill health to resign
the charge. At tho time of bis death
be was editor of tho Lutheran Home
Monthly.
Gold Toom picks ron Senators.
Quito a spicy little debato, full of
indignation against what Senators
flippantly characterised as"newspapcr
chargos, took placo in the Senate on
un editorial of ihe Boston Advertiser
alleging that gold toothpicks, car
tickets, sponge, Ac , had been pur
chased al tho publio expense for
Senators and Representatives. The
officiul facts do not make tho applica
tion qnito so personal as alleged, bul
they do show that a gold toothpick
and car-tickets and funcy articles have
been purchased for tho uso of tho
American Senate, as a roference to the
report of its own Secretary will show.
Overboard. Col. Robert Harlan,
colored, of Cincinnati, has been Special
Mail Agent for some time, but his
official hend has been remcved to give
place to Mr. G. W. C. Johnston, of
Lobunon,Ohio, who married a niece of
Mrs. President Grant. N o have long
felt that Grant has been neglecting
his relations, and we are glad to soo
bim going back to the good old prac
tice of putting them in offices as fust as
they are discovered. But who will

Capitol Arabs. An exchange says:
Ilarritburg hotels, Ac., are dull placos
this winter. Tho flashy jeweled Ira
ternity no longer hover around the
pluces wbero Senators and Represen
tatives aro wont to gather between
sessions. The new Constitution did
tho business, and tho Arabs of the
Capitol havo "folded their touts and
silently stolen away." And their
banishment will save moro to the
pooplo of the Stato in two years than
tho entire cost of the instrument which
drovo thorn from the cupitul.
Tho Now York Sun makes this
caustio hit at Iho cily of "hrothorly

now among the statutes of Pennsyl
vania a law prohibiting non-residents
from selling goods by sample, card,
or otherwise in tlio city of Philadel
phia under a ponalty of $300 fine, one
iiulf of which goes lo tlio informor.
A license for a non-rosident to sell
goods costs 1300. Of courso this

of $10,000,000 moro currency, Is re
