Modest. It will bo noticed by the
(.ovsrnor'a Moiwago that ho approach
c thu compulsory education policy
vory tcndorly. Ho only wants it tried
on vagranU, tlio children of paupers,
tramps, etc. llo also hints at n Blend

that proposition is not Constitutional,
ho drops it for the proscnt.
Plain. Got. llurlranlt condemns
in very plain torms the conduct of the
Pittsbiirgsoldiersdiiringtho July riots,
and ho knows of sovcral Sheriffs and
Mayors that nboiild bo ousted, fined
and imprisoned, or words to tbat of

notice that our Clearfield Sheriffs al
ways suppress their own riots.
Too Bio. Tho balance in the State
Treasury foots up over two millions
of dollars. This would be a nice thinn
, for Col. Noycs to pick up. But it is
too big, and docs not look us though
tha Treasury Department had been
managed in tho interest of tho tax
varers. And wo now say: C'olloct
less money from tho pooplo, or rodnei
tho Stato debt. The idea of having
Ruch a huge balance on hands those
times, looks moro like plundering than
.State financiering.
Too MuoB IwTEttKsT. Tho State
Treasurer charges for intercut paid out
on tho State debt during tho current
year, the sum ol one million, four hun
dred and fourteen thousand, i.r hundred
and fifty-one dollar) and sixty three cents
(81,414,651 .03), and shows that tho
Slate debt is less than TWENTY
TIlIiF.E MILLIONS, thirtcenmillions
ol which bears six per cent., and ten
millions five per cent, interest. For
convenience wo will give him tome
advantage, and deal in round millions.
Tho interest on the first amount would
be 780,000, and on the second 500,
000, making in all one million two hun
dred and eighty thousand dollars (81,
280,000.00). This leaves a surplus ot
orcr 8134.000, or, be ha paid moru
than six pur cent, on tho wholo debt.
That is the way wc seo it at this dm
lance. Cqmino Down Very Slowlt. The
Governor's Message shows that tho
State debt, on the first day of Decem
ber last, was twenty two millions, nine
hundred and fifty -throo tliousund,eij;hl
hundred and fourteen dollars and thir
ty-one cents (822 913,811.31), while
tho balanco in tho Treasury on tho
Mine day amounted to tho sum of two
million!, one hundred aud sixty two thou
wad, forty six dollars and eirjhty seven
cents (82,102,046.87). Now, wo ak,
why are tho pooplo compelled to pay
the fDlcroat on this two millions and
over of a bulunco ? Why not cancel
bonds with It and slop the intercut on
tlmt much of tho debt. rirhapa this
two millions keeps up eight or ten
banks, and if so, who gets the interest?
We hare no doubt but that Sluto
Treasurer Rawlc, and tho lato candi
date, Hart, could throw a great doul
of light on this crooked problem.
CoNaawa. This body meets at
Washington on to morrow, Thursday,
according lo adjournment. From this
tiro forward moro or less excitement
mar be looked for. but littlo work.
The most important bills before Con
grtas will cause some nf tho members
to bedge and hesitate, and many, no
doubt, would like to slraddlo them un
til after tho November election, for
fear of voting on tho wrong side. Af
ter that is past, congressional manhood
and statesmanship (?) will develop
itself, becauso tho most of tho mem
ber will bo cither re-oleutod or do
4'oatetl, and after that point Is rcathod
.It makes but little difference how a

avill also attract considprable attention

A Jl UGE LOTTlCIi V MA VI).
Wo havo during tho past two weeks
received from friends, no less than hull'
a doneii handnomely printed circulars
entitled ; "A grand supplementary draw
ing of all the unclaimed and forfeited
pri:et in the various legal lotterie't, which
have been drawn in the United Slates
within the past ten years." This Is the
goncral heading of the fraud, followed
by a schemo of 1,982, prizes of "cash
gold and silver watches, Jewelry of
all kinds and paintings, worth from
812, to 85,000 each." Tho circular bo-
foro us .informs tho -receiver that he
has drawn a set nf Jewelry worth 8280.
and that by sending only 814. by ex
press to Messrs. Ruiwell 4 Co., No. 37
Bond street, New York they will for
ward tho same by express. Tho cir
cular purports to bo issued at New
Orleans, and E D. J'i.k, secretary, who
savs: "all prizes not claimed within
30 days will bo declared f.11 Rued ;"
Header : These arc tho old saw dust
und counterfeit parties in a new role,
and tho fraud is so apparent thut no
one should bu gulled by it. Tho idea
uf any ono giving another 82SO, woiili
of Jewelry for f 14, is transparent
enough for a blind person to sen.
A Fallen Hero. Another good
man gone wrong. This time it is Billi
ard, a lladical member of the legisla
ture trom Delaware county. Ho has
been arrested for ombezzlemont, and
tried to escape from tho clutches of
the law which he had broken by plead
ing that ho was a law nmlior. Tho
courts failed to seo it in thut light, and
as tho Rudicul majority in tho Lowor
Houso is large enough for all practical
purposes it is net at all likely that
that body will bother about Bullard.
But as a similar freak bus attracted
tho attention of Congress, why should
not tho members of tho Pennsylvania
Legislature bo moved in a similar way
when ono of their "soiled doves" Is
gobbled up for viulating tho law.

how they get over Armstrong and In

reaching Cambria, unless il is for the
purpose of Ignoring General White.
In Place. Judge Tiuukey, elected
to the Supreme bench lust fall, for
twenly ono years, took his seat, on
Monday last. The Democrats have
now three of thu seven Judges on tho
Bench. Rharswood, Woodward and
Trunkey, It looks as though there
was rulher too much mood in this trio
but they are acknowledged to be tho
three ablest men in that tiibunal.

I'OWEHS AND RESI'UNHIlllLITIKSi.r LOCAL
CIVIL Al'TlloRITItB.
I huvo repeulu lly rcpiesentod to
the people the reluutiineo with which
tlie Kxi'culivo roMirls to miliiury pow
er, and urged upm the Lcginluitiru
the neee-.ly ol doviting soma inoiius
of fixing thu responsibility of suppress-
in, lociil outbreaks upon the local civil
utr.horiiics At present, any hIhtiiV
or mayor can escape under llio
biguoiis provinlnua ot the law, wilhoull
hiivitig made a single honu-t effort lo
preserve the peace. Asa consequence,
there is growing a pernieioui londeiicy
lo rely upon the .Stale. It hits even
beon curioutdy argued thut thu arrivul
uf the Slate troops supersedes I ho
Incul civil authories. and thereby sus
pends llicir Inactions as peaeu ollicers,
uud relieves them of all reponsibdiiy.
Tho miliiury is culled in in aid, not m
riiperncdo, the civil uulbnriiy. It
would be a slrungo construction "I
iho law by which thu dusertion of their
worn .duties by thu peaco officers of
municipulilica would make Iho Slut.,
authorities, who answer tli. ir cull
for aid, rcspuiixihlo for outrages coin
imtud by a mob in a policrless city.
The olfice of slier ill was formerly
one of dignily uud power; Il bus do
generated, standing without changu
in new condition', until its main duties
are those of a juilor and aiu liontur
Somes means ought ceriuiuly lo be
tuken to clothe iho olll.e with its
original iinporUiiuu and rcspoulblli
lies. If, upon Iho wriileii request of
a certain number of competent free
holders of any ciiy or county, having
iho qualificu.ioiia loin-nurc ihuir st mul
ing mid responsibility, Il was inu.le
obligatory upon tho mayor or Sheriff,
under penally of forleituru of nlHco,
and line or iinorisonmeiil, or both, to
i-uiumon a sulnclenl number ol cm
izuns to lay aside all business, und
curve under liuo penalties, I am satis
fied thai many uisiuruuiiocs wnicii
now require tho iiilerlerenco of the
military could be Bellied without its
use. Any citizen ot the Summon
wealth can now be compelled to leave
his business and travel its length or
brcadlu in the interests ol justice ,
surely, the preservation ol order anil
ihu fjrulecti'.u of lile and properly, will
justify Ibu exaction of the suilie service
ol a citizen wiiuin lit" own couiiiy,
Such a luw would also serve lo fix the
status of thu inhahilaiils of iho county.
All who were loyal to the laws would
ttiurchy indicate their sympathies tor
the rioiura. Il'suuh un allcmpl should
luil, tho sheriff or niuyur, or In default
of these officers, the citizens lliemsul vca
could, with reason, call upon tlio l-x
ecutivu, and no question, so fur us the
Stale was concerned, could ever bu
raisud as to Ibe iieuuMity lor the usu
ot troops..
The people havo, happily, beon so
unaccustomed lo the use of troops to
enforce the laws, that much miscon
ception exists regardjng the real posi
tion ol the military power in tha policy
of tho government, and the rululive
duties ot citizens and soldiers. A sim
ple statement of theso relations may
enable the line between ihe trionds
and ihe enemies of law and order to
be Uruwn hereallor with precision and
advantage. For the prusonuu and. use
ot troops, the Executive is responsible;
ot their necessity, he is the judge. The
law clothes bim with thut power, and
the discretion lousoit; for its use or
aliuso, be is responsible alone to thu
representatives of the people. The
presence de facto of troops ul the scene
ol a disturbance is prima facie evidence
ol lliuir presence at jure. iictiicr
they are there by authority or not,
whether their presence is necessary or
unnecessary, is no utluir 01 the rioters
or their sympathizers. Thu tri'iuuitl
toiluciue lust question is not a mob, or
then ; but thu Leyiiltlturuorlhe courts,
and ullerwards. For tho timv blng,
it is tho duty of the authorities and
all law-abiding citizens to co.oper
alo with thorn In restoring ord.r or
suppressing violence. To resist thorn
by lores-, upon any pretext, is insur
rection or rebellion, and can result
only in the final vindication of thu law,
in ut.arcliv or the subversion 01 lliu
government.
THE Mli.triA
Tho primury function ot tho Sluto is
to prcscrvo tho peace and guarantee,,
under tho laws, Iho rights of persons
and property. lour attention basal
reaily beon culled to uic necessity 01
increasing and defining tho powers of
sheriffs, and you will also consider thu
means ol improving thu instrument
confided to tho Executive. It bus
been the constant policy of the present
administration to use the military pow
er of the Stale only in Iho tutu resort.
Uiilorlunutuly Iho weakness ol the
local civil machinery lias made thut
necessity, of late years, Ircqncnl r ivu
tunes within seven yearn the militia bus
been called into one or unothor parlol
tho State, and on all former occasions
its presenco ulono has beun siilneiuiit
to rcsloro order. During thu lute
troubles il ulso, in tho end, succeeded
in removing the embargo upon the
truffle of the Slum and protecting its
eiltzencs in the right to work, but, dur
ing Us short campaign, certain Ui llcien
cies aud faults in too system were
made apparent.
There are throe Inherent defects in
a militia system, which, although they
may be reduced to a minimum, must
always exist, in me nrst place, no
voted chiefly to civil pursuits, a citizen
soldier must always be more or less
atfrctcd ny tlie sympathies ol the com
munltv In which they live. Sio laws
or codes csn prevent tho common sol
diers from imbibing tho principles and
prejudices ol the men they constantly
associate wilb in bis daily walks. In
tho second placo, with comparatively
little liinoaiidopportnnily lor halta'iion
and rcrjimuntul drill, the; cannot be
expected to have the steadiness of
trained professions! soldiers. Finally,
in it volunteer organisation, without
pay, the inclinations ol' tho men must
always be considered In the selection
of ollicers; there is never the samo r.l
alive diflerenco between tbom as in a
regular army, nr,d, on that account,
there can purer bo Iba samo fills.. lulu
authority over the rank and file. The
only alternative which will entirely
obviate these defects is a rogularstund
iiif army, disassociated from thu peo
ple and trained to arms alone. Even
if It wets not unconstitutional, such a
fores would be unnecessary fur the
Slate, and wa must, tborolora, exert
ourselves to bring our proscnt militia
systom to the greatest posstldo crB
denoy.

Forced education is a relic of royally

For the sake of consistency, the ad

not slop with this single idea of the
European plan uf government, because
all sensible persons must know thai
the buluncu of thu system will follow
just ns surely as. night succeeds thu
day. There is no hulf-way milestone
on this roule. Tho man or woman
thut embraces tho European idea ol

remain skeptical very long on the

blending of Church and Slate, and the
abridgement nf our personal rights, as
well as tho necessity for having s large
army to support the whole system,
will soon bu embraced. Then what
becomes of American freedom ?
Forced education is as uncongenial
to our soil as virtue is in a houso ol
assignation. Wo are well aware that
there aro clergymen and teachers in
