The people of this State annually hold an election for members of the House of Representatives and one third ot the Senate, and though for many years efforts have been made to i send respeetable men to those bodies ! —and as a general thing we believe a majority have been so—yet somehow when they meet at Harriiburg and come to discuss what ought to be done j lor the good of the public, we strangely find a hitch here and there, and sun dry axes to grind, which seem to pre vent a great deal of common sense I legislation and favor a vast deal of what is not only detrimental to public j interests but often most unjust to tax- j payers. In this way the latter have ; come to the conclusion that there must be a great deal of dishonesty, if not something worse, on foot about the ; lobbies of the capitol which transforms j an honest man into a rogue almost as j *oon as he sets foot within its halls.— Such undoubtedly has been public sen- I timent for a number of years; and we ; would therefore suggest to the present legislature to make an effort to retrieve its character, set to THINKING whether there are not many laws that might be improved, and especially to guard against the passage of any new acts i creating monopolies unless their need ! and objects are so evident as to require 1 special privileges. Among other matters which loom up I before us, are — Ist. Temperance. The open viola- j tion of the present laws and the diffi- j eulties of convicting the guilt}-, show that there is ample room for salutary ! amendments. No person ought to be i permitted to sell liquor of any kind without a license from the court, which j body ought to be given full discretion 1 to refuse any or all licenses, either on the ground of being unnecessary, the ' character of the applicants, or of those J who recommend them. The applica- ; tion of each person for license for I tavern, restaurant, or sale of any kind ! of liquor, ought also to be published, with the names of those recommending such establishment attached; and a re monstrance, signed by one-half or more of the adult population of any ward, district or borough, ought to be made conclusive against any and all parties j remonstrated against in such ward, j district or borough. 2d. The tax laws are both unequal and unjust in their assessment ami col-! lection. It is difficult to say what ought to be done to improve the assess ments, but there is no doubt a great many counties pay far above their just proportion ot State tax. Our financial oondition might also probabiy justify a reduction of a mill or two on the State tax, or its collection might be suspended for a year. Its total repeal at present we think would be irijudi- j cious. It would also be a good move if the stocks taxable for county pur poses were to be paid into the county treasury where such companies are located, in the same manner as thcy are now paid to the State. 3d. Collectors ought to be dispensed with, and the duplicates placed in the hands of county treasurers, who. after due notice, could attend in each dis trict for receiving them, making an allowanco of o percent, on bothconnty and State for prompt payment at the times specified—no deduction for three months thereafter—and add 10 per cent, to all remaining unpaid after that time—entering them up in a book to j be provided for that purpose, and at the | end of a year advertising at public '■ sale the delinquents' property in at least two newspapers, j 4th. Assessors ought to be elected j for three years, so as to make the tri ennial assessment in their third year, j by which time they would become pretty well posted as to the quality of I the lands, Ac. in their districts. slh. All applications for opening new roads or changing Old ones o ight to be advertised in at lea.it two papers for four weeks previous to being ' acted on by court. 6tb. Running deer with dogs east of , the Allegheny mountains ought to be prohibited. On those mountains no 1 laws are needed, as the hunters gener ally shoot all chasing deer. 7th. We need a dog law badly. But one dog ought to be allowed on any premises or to one family, and all above that number ought to be taxed $1 each, and all sluts at least 35 each, to be levied and collected by constables or supervisors and appropriated to road purposes. There are many other things which do not just occur to us that might readily be altered for the better. Proceedings of Congress Congress has been engaged since the holidays in maturing work, and occa sionally passed some imjioitant resolu tions and laws. The House passed a resolution declaring that the troops ought not to bo lemoved from the I States lateiy in rebellion without the assent of Congress; and also passed a law punishing counterfeiting with death. Mr. Voorhees, the friend of Vailandigham, made an effort to create copperhead capital by resolutions en dorsing the President's policy, but was rather severely handled by Mr. Bing ham. An important bill extending the | operations of the Freedmen's Bureau has been reported in the Senate and will probably become a law It will j render nugatory all the laws of the 1 late rebel States making a distinction in laic between the whites and blacks, j The copperhead rebel sympathizers inj the District are in much tribulation ! lest Congress should pass a law extend ; ing the right ot suffrage. Pennsylvania Legislature In the Senate, on the 10th, the! Speaker announced the standing com j rnittees. Mr Hall is chairman of the Judiciary; Mr. Lowry of the one on Federal Relations; Mr C< nnell of the 1 inance. A sees of resolutions on the state of the country were referred HOUSE The standing committees j were announced Mr Quay is head of! the Ways and Means. Mr Waddellof! the Judiciary, Mr. Smith of Agrieul- j ture, and Mr. Thomas of Federal Re- j lations. A resolution urging Congress ' to equalize the bounties of the soldiers in the late war was introduced. A joint convention of both Houses re-elected W m. H. Kemble State Treasurer. His competitor was J. Monroe Kidder, of Danphin county. In the Senate, on the 11th, the bill introduced by Mr Donovan allowing j passenger cars to run in Philadelphia, j on Sunday, was referred to the Com- • mitteeon \ ice and Immorality. A de- i bate took place on the question of ad- I journing until the second Tuesday in j tcbruary, arid a resolution to that cf- ! feet passed first reading, after which the Senate adjourned until Monday. HOUSE. Among the bills introduced : was one instructing the Judiciary Com- | mittee to frame a bill increasing the liability ot railroad companies for loss of life or injury to limbs; and one im posing a tax upon joint stock compan ies organized in this State to operate in other places. Resolutions were of fered instructing our Senators and re questing our Representatives in Con gress to vote for an amendment to the Constitution so as to apportion mem bers of Congress according to the whole number of voters; to authorize tho people to vote directly for Presi dent and ice President, and to secure to all persons the right to testify in the courts. Other resolutions, instruc j ting our congressional representatives to take certain action on the question of reconstruction, were also read. In the House, on the 12th, a resolu tion instructing the Committee of Ways and Means to prepare a revision of the revenue laws of the State, so as to tax all property, was offered and postponed. A resolution instructing the Clerks of the House to retain all bills passed until the return of the Governor, elicited considerable discus sion, and was adopted. The most im portant map of tb© State was ordered to be secured and placed in the House. A number of bills were introduced, and the House adjourned until Monday. The Louisiana Slave Code As a sample of Southern intolerance and injustice, we notice a law passed by the Louisiana Legislature tor the government of the freedmen, reducing them almost toa state of slavery again. There is no liberty to make contracts for six months or for three months, or to make none, but the laborer is bound by law to make a contract of some sort during the first ten days of Janu ary lor the whole year. He may not be offered a dollar a month for his la bor—he is bound by this law to take what agreement they choose as to price ; they have only to bold out ten days and the laborers must either as- sent to their terms or take the conse quences of violating the law. The freedmen must hire by families when they exist, and the contract with the head of the family is binding on ail the members. Only one-half of the wage is to be paid u> fast as earned, and if laborer leave* before his contract ex pires he forfeits all that is due him. With such statutes passed by tho-e who again desire to take part in gv- ermng our country, is it any wonder that t lie treed men in that State, sonic of whom no doubt fought gallantly lor the L nion while most of these legi.-ia tors were rebels, will not go to work for such tyrants? Such people and such States are tit only to be governed by military law. and neither God nor christian men can favor such injustice. Suffrage might be withheld, but Con gress and the President would be re creant to their plain duty to admit such barbarous relies of slavery into the National councils while even a taint of this rascality is fostered. Good Speech by General Sherman. A convention ol delegates from ail the couoties in Arkansas met at Little Ruck uq the ilth, to take into consideration the political affairs of the State. Major Gen W T. Sherman, who was visiting that de partment, was invited to attend, and ac cepted the invitation He was received by Dr. T. L. Gibson, the President, who, in his address, made certain complaints ou beha i of tne citizens of Arkansas, the principle o~e being the test oath adopted by the existing state auiuoriiies, and asked the General to aid them to a full realiza tioa of their civil rights without delav.— General Sherman responded with a sound speech—one of the best we have read on reconstruction—as follows : Gentlemen :—You are fully informed ol the reason why 1 am here, which is by | special invitation of your committee. I aui a military man and as such it is not ex | pected or desired that i shall engage in auy political discussion, or give you any advice politically. We military men dis like to mingle iu political movements We are sworn to obey the Constitution arid laws, and iu this country the laws govern. I have not stopped to inquire by what authority you come together, nor do I care; tor the citizens of any neighborhood, coun ty or State, have a right to meet together aod consult as to the best mode of promot ing the interests ol the community, but be sure you represent the sentiments of the people. I'think you ought to be very careful that you reliect the opinion of the whole people of Arkansas. I know the people of the South, and L know the southern gentleman would not willingly or intentionally represent himself to he wl at he is not. Put 1 understand you are citi zens ol Arkansas, anu delegates ol the people, theretore you have a right to tie here to discuss matters ol interest to your selves; to consider your grievances, if you have any, and to peti ion the President or Congress lor redress, and 1 believe they will do you justice. Put you have a more important work. It is not political. Your State needs at tention iu other directions. 1 come here from a distance, and 1 tell you I tind you tar behind all other parts ol the country give your immediate attention to those things which will mike you: State inviting to the stianger to come and settle among you. Y'ou have not fifty miles of good roads in Arkansas. Improve these ; make traveling uiore easy lroai point to point You are behind your sister States because you have nut adopted any system of inter nal improvement or developed aoy of your vast resources. You aie we'comed back into the Union, which is to day stronger than ever, and the United States is now more highly hon ored abroad than heretofore, and beloved at home. But you thir.k you have not ail the rights you aro entitled to; you now have uiore rights and privileges under ex isting circumstances than you would have in any civilized country except America. Had you done as you did in this land, un der the bloody flag of Ureal Britian, or the tri color of France, many of you would not be here, and you would not have teen permitted to assemble as you are now as aembled, and talk over political questions and rights. Is not the meeting of this convention the best evidence thai you have a good deal of liberty. As to the meas ure of your rights I cannot inform you. What is right and wrong I do not pro les* to know, and I do not think you j know, but we can all understand what La law. Inquire as to what is lawful—that is plain and simple Act lawfully anu you wi;l do right. There are large numbers of lawyers within the sound of my voice who can tell you what is 1 wful. Confess to the laws This is all we, as military man, can sanction. Law is our guide I take the liberty of suggesting to yo i the propriety of every citizen helping his neighbors. The country is poor, and ycu can all do something towards building it up and restoring it to prosperity. Cultivate the soil, set your plantations in order, get your local and county affairs in good shape Buch work will be far more important and beneficial than whether yuu shall v tethis year or next, or not until two or three years hence. There need be no hurry fur this political organization ; bide your time, help t uild up the country, and never mind voting for the present. I believe ali will work out right in a few yeirs. What you want in the rstate is Work—"elbow grease ' \ou have minerals and other resources, develop those ar.d let the matter of voting alone tor awhile. V\ ith coe million of acres of good soil and due rivers, yet your po: ulation is thinner t *an in >oulh Carolina, that you have f-eeri taught to call uncivilized and barba r <u- Yuu are partially responsible for this. Improve your road?, and do all y.-u cm to make your fitate attractive to the muiigrant. \ou are behind in aii this, N )W go to w.jrk earnestly in these direc tions and then invite immigration Fully •is favored as Missouri in climate, you can invite people h ther, and many will come and settle among you. I think lam not overstating when I say that from 5<.',00u to BU,UUU persons will have come into Mis souri within the past year, who will pay into the treasury from five to fifty dollars each as taxes With proper efforts Ar kaosas cso receive a large add'tion to her population and tax paying citizens With reference to the particular thing which brings you together, I have nothing to say. \et it you need advice concern ing your interests as military men we can not give any, but as one gentlemm to another we can Gen. Reynolds will, as i> Ins duty and will he equally his pleasure, cheerfully confer with any one of you and render you aii the aid he can But jou think you are oppressed by the | State government The fact that you are : here to day to talk concerning it shows plainly that you are not suffering any se . vere oppression from it. \ou want peace, the nation wants peace, we all desire peace, and 1 know we will hive if, Whether you want it or not you shall have it, for we have the power to en i lorce it.
