A Washington telegram Bays; "Mrs. Sonator Conovor and Mrs. Senator Dorsoy are tho handsomest ladioa at Washington." It ia atrangr that thia should bo ao, because thcii husbands are the most graceless twain that infest tho Senate carpet-baggers of a very low degree. The Two Geoboes. In 1864 Geo. B.

We notice by our exchanges that the Legislative liocord iraud is still published, and we have no doubt but that oar Senator and Member pcruso it daily, and will let na know when Mr. Bergner prints anything of public importance. Yes, of course! Itiv ebsed. The Lower House ot our Legislature unhang itself on Wednes day lost. Alter voting on Monday night previous, to take common sense view of their duties as Legislators, the members saw fit to ignore their man hood and adopted th views ot the Senate. There ia no accounting for this somerset on the part ot tbe mem bers of the Lowor House. A Point Ssttled. Tho othor day. alter Senator Vuorheea closed bis great speech on th bond and currency qnes- tinn, a brother Senator netted him why ho did not come out as a candidato for tho presidency ?

At their Legislative caucus last week tbey could not agree even on an honorary candidate, fir United States S.nalor.

But for Mr. Yvllandingham and bia frienda bo would have received tho nomination. Tho editor of the Philadelphia 7'mu'f in alluding to Mr. Pendleten' nomina tion, say: Ohio ha ber full sli.ro of capable men in public life, but none of them excel in scholarship, in ability, In in tegrity of character, in public expert- eiico and knowledge ot puouo at- fuir. bim npon whom the Senatorial mantle i now about to full. In fact, there aro few men in tho national council, w ho moro nearly fill tho re quirement of statesmanship. Hi. views on tho currency question havo been pronounced and are well known, but he ia as little likely to fall into dangeroua heresy or lo throw any dis credit upon the honor of tbe nation aa any man that a westorn Legislature could send to tb Senato, and since tho view that be hold are the views of tbe people of Ohio, tbe Slate could not do belter. Mr. Pendleton will boa worthy colleague of Mr. Thurman. and Ohio may well challenge any Stale lo show an abler representation in tbe Senate. It is a curious and uggostive illustration of tb change brought by time and tho coincidence of history that Gcorgo B. McClellan and Geo. 11. Pcndloton, once Democratic candidate for President and Viue Pruiidont, hould, after fourteen year of retire ment, return lo public lite together, tbo one a a Governor and tbe other a a Senator. McClellan and Pendle ton 1 Tb name may again bo coupled before many moroyear. havo passed." The Radical Ticket. A Harris burg corresondent iiilorm the Lan caster Era that it party managers bavo agreed uon a State ticket for next full as follows : "General Harry lloyt, of Luzerne county, i to be the Uunublican candidate for Governor; Judge Sterrett, of Allegheny, tho can- liduto for tho supreme bench ; Colonel Wm.

Hucb is the arrangomeni - and the set-up will slido through as eusily a ever the ring tickut did in Lancaster county. It may be a little rough on those who call themselves 'reformers,' hut then they gcnotally whin in anyhow ; so all ia expected to ho lovely, and the goose to hang just us it ought to in a well regulated po Mtical fumily managed on the patri archal principle" This programme agree with our advices exactly Wickersham and Agnew to bo beard irom. LeOIBLATIVB UUMBUOOEBtr. The Uuuso and Senate at Uarrisburg have agreed that all general bills pending ut the adjournment ahall bo re intro- luced, and that all local bills ahall re main on the calendar and be consider ed a though there had been no ad journment. Thia rule establishes two conflicting principles and makes the session both a new and a oontinu. ed ono. Tbe Senate, which Insisted that the session was a new one, has conceded that, as to local bill, it is a continued session, and th House, which took the ground that it m a continued aoselun, baa ducitled that it is a now one as to gonoral bills. Tbe compromise is a legal and legislative absurdity. Tho adjournment, a we have said before, was just th same in law a though it had boon for only a week or oven a day ; and what would be thought if the Legislature, after having adjourned for a week or a day, should agree to throw all general bills off the calendar and tako op only the local bills 7 The present Legislature has placed private above public inter ests, and ca-b house has stultified itself and violated a principle of parliament ary law that is as palpable and plain as a pikestaff.

About tho coolest proposition we have noticed for some timo, is a reeotn. metitlation adopted by the Snpi-rin tundenlsand Trustees of the Slate Nor mal S hiNils usking thu L"u:slniiirufor un appnipriulion ul $5 tO 000 tu be puid in installments uf (100,0110 per annum, lo ho equally divide I anong thu Nor mal Hi'ihi. of the Hiutu nml lo be up pmprluted for the piityose ut paying off their ilidebledness. ll is about toni lor tho people of tho Cunimunvrcaltb tn lake notice of tho various pmpnsi. lions annually made to bleed the Stale rreusitry. Among others, this propo sition of tho Normal School beggars should bo r viewed. Thwiistititioii have Ih'oii ftistured by b -lug purtty sup ported by Ihu Hiatu, on thu theort that they are a necessary adjunct to tho common schuol rysieni ; the ititen tiun being thai thoso pupils who re ceivo so much per rnpita weekly fnun lh Stale, shall repay tho boon hy de ruling thumsulres lo teuching in the public school, after they hvo cum passed their cdmullnn. Wu niitler. stand that some pledge of this kind is exacted of pupils before they enter on their studies in the Normal School. Yet it is questionable whether one- third of those who secure an e location nnder such condnlons, live np to tbom after leaving th school. Hence th Slate i dclilicrutcly defrauded, and the young man or woman guilty, starts nut with the stigma of having commit led B very Immoral act. Moreover, all who invest their mean in Normal Schools, do it a. a matter of gain. They prnposo lo reap a pcrcontogo on their investment, tho samo aa if they had subscribed for slock in a) bank, or any other prlvajo corporation. And after having done so, If they can, throtitch a Board of Trustees, aided by thu l'rin cipal of the Institution, in combination with B similar force, either whccdlunr bull doEO the Legislature Into voting away Slate money to pay their debts, it shows that they are pretty sharp lobbyists. We feel no objection tn the State appropriating lihorojly toward thp nrin, Schools j it ha always done o, but they soem, novor to ho sat Isfled, but, like the mother of tho hnrso leech, they still cry fur moro.
