WKMESnAY MORNlNtl. VIAKCH It, l
A TaoioNdED Session. The bono
ol caiitantion, in tlio lower llguso at
the Legislature on Friday, was what
is popularly known an tbo ' Boom
bill," reducing boomugc (Voin CI. 25 to
90 cents per thounand. Tlio session
lasted all mght.but the bill making the
reduction, wan passed by a largo ma
jority. .
Not Pab. Tlio pardon granted to
Gen. Cameron, by Congress previous
to adjournment, for hia misdeed while
Secretary of War, is not relished by I
many, somo oi mem icei nno putting
over it, but it no go, tho deed is re
corded, and tbo 70 yen are now on
tho rack and stand condemned, while
Bnmnbas is released.
Unnecessary Kxpkn8. An eas
tern exchange trnya the family of
Oakos Amea propose to placo a memo
rial window to him in tho church at
Easton, Mass. That window will not
bo necessary to perpetuate his memory
in tho minds of Colfax, Scofield & Co.
His memorandum book is snfllcicnt
for Hint. And ua for tho rcat of man
kind, tho Congressional Credit llobi
Her record will bo a sufficient memorial.
Defeated. Tho attempt made in
tho Legislature to repeal the occupa
tion tax, and substitute a poll tax of.
fifty cents on each taxable, was prop
crly defeated in tho Senate, on Thurs
day last. This was exactly right, as
tho law now stands tho tax runs from
(en colli to three dollars, according to
circumstances. Tho aged and indi
gent poor need pay but ten eenlt to get
a vote, while the well-to-do and wealthy
pay from fifty eentsXo two mid three
dollars for his privilege.
Mischief Hbewino. Tho "third-
term" had better ho on the lookout. '
Ex-Spookor lilaino's Presidential stock
isadvancing. Tho Pennsylvania liing
bavo takon him in charge. Ho was
accorded a grand reception at the
houso ol Gen. Bingham In Philadel
phia on Wednesday evening, at which
Cameron, Governor llarlranft, Kom
ble and many other heretofore Grant
men wore present. The Third Term
or must wake up or Blaino will cap
ture the Pennsylvania delegates, be
fore another month rolls around.
Tng New Tax Bill. The revised
tax bill, as passed by Congress during
tho last hour ot the session, puts a tux
v( ninety cents on distilled liquors.an in
crease of thirty cents. Twenty-four
cents on tobacco; four cents of an in
crease, and cigars aro raised to six
dollars per 1,(100, being nil increaso of
nno dollar, while sugar anil molasses
is raised twenty -fivo per cent. Such
is tho sweet farewell address of tho
Credit Mobiiier Congress, which com
mitted moro crimes against the people
than any other body which has as
sembled in this county sinco tho min
ions of Gcorgo 111 wcro driven out.
A Gehf.bal Wiped Out. "The
government" has sent Gen. Emory,
nno of the oldest officers in tho army,
into exile. He wns in command nt
New Orlcnnn, and not feeling like
obeying all tho behests of Kellogg and
Grant's brother-in-law, Casoy, found
himself "shadowed," as tho detectives
say, by Sheridan and his banditti, and
completely ignored by Grant, who
has issued tho following circumlocu
tion order :

Ill Elittid. The Irish exilc,John
Mitchell, several years ago returned
to Ireland, and last fall was elected a
member of tho British Parliament
from Tipperary by over 2,000 majori
ty. When ho put in his claim for a
scat in that body four weeks ago, It
was declared vacant and a new elec
tion ordered and held, and Mitchell
has again triumphed over the govern
ment candidate. This shows that the
Tipporarians are bound to stick to
him whether he is allowed to tako his
seat or not. It is probable that Moore,
the Conservative candidate, will bo ad
mitted on the ground that Mitchell is
ineligible, heiieo the votes cast in his
favor cannot bo counted as against the
eligible candidoto.

We would infer from this that the

What a pity that so few white Itadical
"christian statesmen" are turned Into
D. D'i. aftor they leavo Congress.
They, It seems, prefer M. C. oven re

exiled associates, and persuade them

Uadical Maqnaniuity. TheGmnt
leaders aro greatly exercised over tho
fact that the Democrats in tho south
ern Slates have sent a number of
Confederate Generals to tho United
States Senate and to Congress. One
ol tho extra judicial loyal editors puts
it in this way:
Fire of the new United Rules Benalorn, Ca-r-erton,
of Weal Virginia: Goeeorllt, of Mieotra
rl; Joaef, of Florida r Maiey, of Tesai. and
Wilhert, or Virginia, having been In tho Confed
erate eorrloo, eould not lake the oatb urntlly ad
tainiMered to Seaatoro, and all took Iho modified
oath. Thii la hatred and peroeculion, oa the
part of ltepublleaoa with a rengeaneo.
Now, why not state what brought
about the modified oath? This oc
curred when Grant appointed Col.
Ackcrman, of Georgia, Attorney Gen
eral, and General Longstrcct Collector
nt New Orleans. After doing this tho
Itadical leaders were compelled to un
do some of their loyal jobs, so thnt
scalluwogs could becomo lladicals.
Now, since tho Democrats send "rebel
leaders" to Congress it is an awful of
fenco, and those ixiliticat harlots set
up a claim of magnanimity, tool
Till! Fibht Caboinal. Archbishop
McCloskcy, of JJcw York, has been
promoted to the princely jiositiun of
Cardinal, and is now made eligible tn
succeed Pope Pius, provided he can
master votes enough, when tho pres
ent bead nf tlie Catholic church shall
ho gathered with bis fathers. Bishop
McCloskov Is tho first American ever
raised toacardinnl. There arc now fifty
seven Cardinals scattered throughout
the world, only one of whom is uu
American. It takes a two-third Voto
to elect a Pope. '

Alexander II. White, 'ex-member of
Congress from Alabama, has been us
pointed by the Attorney General to
superintend tho prosecutions against
violations of the laws' of the United

of f2,000 for that purposo having re
cently been made by Congress. .' Thus
one aftoranother of those Congressmen,
repudiated by the peoplo last fall are
givon high berths by "tlio government"
at Washington. ,

who has liad III equilibrium disturbed
and his ttneivd soul vexed mid bedev

ests of .Minnesota. It uppcum that
niine wicked New York newspaper
reporter attempted to interview him,
at las hcuiitju.'irtcrs in the wieketl city
of Washington, one Sunday morning,
for the purpose of eliciting certain fuets
in relation to Uie grasshopur mid and
tho extent of the destitution urrising

interrogated. The next dny, tho edi
tor of the Now York Herald dissected
tho .Miiiucsotinii in this way :
Mr. Senator McMillan, of Minnesota,
begins hi career in Congress with an
affectation of christian statesmanship
w hick ia stilticicnt cuiiso for a good deul
of anxiety nod alarm on the part of
his friends. Wo have had Christian
atatesmen before, but they did not turn
out well. Most of them were too good
for public allaim, and when brought
into contact with the ragged edges of
the world I hey yielded to temptntion
more readily than the moro worldly
minded, 'i'hoy were nut Pecksniffs

of them, measured according to tbo
Col lit x stunilurd, but ho shows a sad
want of taste in emulating tho Col lux
cxumple. It nl ways was the practice
of mankind to distrust the "unco glide,"
ami the young Senator from Minnesota
ought to know that since Colfax's time
it lias been the custom of the American
people lo distrust tho "Christum states,

Baniiit Siikiiiuan. The Pittsburg
Sheridan has made the discovery that
'usi takes the liberty ol saying that
within tho
past three weeks there
bus been a remarkable change for the
bettor in Louisiana. Sheridan can
find out more with less information,
than any other mna in the United
States. On the -lib of January, after
fitleen minutes residence, and lour or
fivo cocktails, in Now Orleans, he an
nounced tbo fact that 4,000 carpet
baggers had been killed, and that the
people were banditti. And all this
without making any enquiry what
ever. Jlu lias bee il out ol Louisiana
about three weeks, aud ho now informs
the President that within that time
the people have been transformed front
bandits into respectable, law abiding
citixens. Jlirus it occur to Gen. Sheri
dan thut there has been a change in
the constituent parts ol Ins cocktails
during tho past thivo weeks? That
tho ico was a little bettor Iro.rn for
instance ?
Colobku Facts. Maior M. It. De-
Inucy, a noted colored politician of
South Carolina, lectured last Saturday
evening at Irving Hall, New York city,
upon tho condition ol polities in tbo
South, and upon that ol tho negroes.
vt lUuini tulieii Itrynnt presided. .Ma
jor Delnney won Lis title as an officer
ol a colored regiment during the lute
war, and is tin unmixed Pluck, with
very marked negro features. Tho
audience was composed of about equal
portions of while and black. The
speaker was severe agniust the north
ern enrpotoaggers in tho south ; nnd
said thut, at their instigation, the col
ored people had gone armed, and in
organised bands, to every political
meeting they had attended tor the last
seven years, with tlio idea that thoy

that they should be freed from nil in

' Hktiiie" is Good. The editor of
tlio New York Herald in alluding to
tho defeat or Grant's Force Hill, ro
innrks: "We think this an opportune
occasion for udvisiug the President to
change his Southern policy. Even if
tho "banditti idea were sound ho has
no means of pursuing it, and no future
Congress will clot ho him with powers
which a Congress of his own party has
denied. Tho wisest Ihinir ho can do is
to go back to his original polit y, of,
pence and snhsliluto healing moral in-
flucnccs for physical force. If ho will!
do this ho may recover his lost popu
larity, and retire from his great orflee
two years hence with tho respect and
grateful ap,ireeialion of nil h is count ry.
men."
The Cincinnati f'ommrreial says no
party has Burei-cdcd more admirably
than tho Republican in legislating Itself
into a minority. In the Southern
Slates tho process has been so effectivo
that It has almost censed to exist, and
hut for the basis of tho black tote
wonld faild to produce any evidence
that it ever had an organlration there.
In tho North tho kisses have been
steady, and State after Slato has been
handed over to the opposition.

A St. Louis dispatch tinted March
12th, says : General Sherman wss In
terviewed yesterday concerning what
action tho Government will take rcla-
I've to the gold hunting expeditions to
the Hlaek Hills country, and tho Gen
end said, in substance, that the expe
ditions would li prevented from en
tering Hint region, or if any got in,
they would be driven out. As soon
as the weather will permit, tnsirs will
be put In the field, with instructions lo
prevent incursion into the Sioux res
ervation, nnd these instructions will be
carried out by fini-e ot arms, if need
ls. I ho Ttiletrnly of Iho treaty with
the Sioux will lie maintained at all
har.nrds. The General said the frontier
people complain ot Indian raids, yet in
this case they do not seem to see the
injustice of their own act, which is
modeled alter the Indian modo of ac
quiring property. If neeewsarv, troops
will bo sent tn bring nut tlie pnrty

of his message ho says ;
1 airree fully with the universal

There have been dinned into our curs
for the past six months threats with
regard to Fort Adams aud revenue
cutters, but so long as those I Ii rents
were words, ami idlo words, tliey have
been treated as such, yet when it is
gravely stated by a respectable and
intelligent journal that troops from
l-'ort Adams nnd the United States
revenue cutter Samuel Dexter hud
been placed at the disposition of the
Marshall, it seems proper to nsk, why
' tins done? Whom is it desired to

It muv have been improper for this
honorable body to consider such men.
nces so long ns they were menaces.
Hut now thut the issuo is directly
forced, I think it ought to receive your
attention.
This is u vivid picture, but wherein
does it differ from the mople of Louisi
ana, except that it is a trilling mutter
compared with the outrages heaped
upon the hitler Stale? Fort Adams
uud the United States army aro held
in lerrereni over tho people of Rhode
Island, iho rcdcml army and navy
and the banditti proclamation are held
over tho people of Louisiana and other
Southern States, while tho constitu
tional sovereignty of ull tho States, to
which tiovernor Howard appeals, is
threatened by the Federal executive.
Wo airroe with Gov. Howard when ho
says that "no graver question bus been
forced upon the Mate since iu first
settlement. It is a vital question, for
in it are involved Iho soverciinity of
tlio State nnd the harmonious rclnlioiis
of tho State w ith the United States.
Tho little Stuto of llhodo Island is en

Another exchange, speaking on -lie
samo subject, uses the following Inn
giiogo: Although Kepublicniis cuniiol uih

States, they became quitu alive to it
when an innovation is attempted near
er homo. It seems that recently U.

tain sier.uro of liquors, nnd as the Con
stable threatened to invoke the aid of
tho Governor ol the State, who, by
undoubted right had tho power to cull

made a timely appeal to aslnni'ton,
and, as announced by the newspapers,
"tho troops at Fort Adams nod the U.
S. revcntio cut tor Samuel Dexter."
were placet! at his disiiosu). This has
opened tho eve of Gov. Howard to
tlio iiniHirtnnco of vindicating tlie
sovoreign rights reserved to the Stnte
by the ledcrul constitution. In an in
dignant mrssnro, O'ldrcM,! to tl.o
llhodo island Senate on Monday last,
he says :
"Your presence here, Senators, is
moeuory and larec. li such proceed
ings as these are sustained by the Fed
oral Government, your honorable Jn
diciary and Executive ninv as well re
sign their offices anil leave tho control
and direction of Stuto affairs to the

No graver question has
been forced upon the State since its
first settlement. It is a vital question,
for In it aro involved tho sovereignty
of the State and Its harmonious, rela

tle State of llhodo Island is entitled,
on such points, to equal respect as

ment Itself."
The heresy of Stale Rights is nil
right while Grant and his millions prno-'
tieo their deviltry in the Southern
States, but .if thry happen to turn
their attention up" North, in even a
little whiskey case, what a hubbub it

was too valuable where ho was to bo

dod: "Ho serves hi county so much
better when his wile is with him that

(iiimiyii Hack. The llellefonlo Jte-
publnan last week scored cx l'uited
Mutes .Senator John Scott in tins way:
"From tho tone of tho Huntingdon
Journal, ICx-Sennttir Scott's organ, it
looks very much as if Mr. Scott is
quite displeased with thu Republican
purty. Vo suppose thut his displeas
ure has grown out of the action of the
Republican mcuibersof the Legislature,
in not endorsing him as their standard
hearer for a second term in tho U. S.
Senate. If Mr. Scott will tnko an nn
biased view ol tho case, and consider
that tho ltcpulilicau party suffered do
fent ill his legislative and ritnto Sena
torial districts, in a great measure,
owing to tho opposition to him,
is it not unfair on his purl if not
ingratitude, to try to foster disorgan
ization now? 1 1 strikes us that a U.
S. Semitiiiv who ciiiiiint. iiittiii'iieii line-
mony in bis party at home, should j
not expect influence and support from
abroad. If ilr. Scott would take a
liKik iuto the ltepublicuu organisation
of the Hon. Simon Camerou's immedi
ate district, hu will find a widu contrast
as compared with Huntingdon county's
tumult and discord. Wo loci thut Mr.
Seott owes a debt of gnilitudo to the
Republican purty, and should lose no

his short comings by assisting iu the

of Kentucky. Alter he hud removed
his outer coat he came out quietly tnid
took tho sent assigned him, Ukii the
extreme right of tlio President of the
Semite, only two scuts from the outside
upon the back row. it is tlio custom
of the Senate to assign seats to mom
hers according to the timo ho has been
in tlio Senate. When a new Senator
arrives be has to sit iu the background
and watch his chances to work up in
the foreground. When a scat is made
vacant, tho first Senator thnt gets it
has thu right toil. So this will ex-
plain why such a man us Andy John-!
son sits in the background ami Hippie-1

Oregon representative of what is some
times taken for a Senator, mihliishingly
occupies a seat now down directly in
