Legislator* and Common Sense.
In the Senate of Pennsylvania on Fri
day last, the following proceedings are
reported :
An act requiring notice of applications
for legislation in cases affecting the inter
ests of individuals or corporations, to be
published in the of the county
or city in which the individual or corpo
ration may be located at least four weeks
before the annual sessions of the Legisla
ture, giving full and exact information in
reference to the object and provisions held
in view, being a copy of the Massachu
setts law.
Mr. MeConaughy favored the bill.
Messrs. Bighani, Connell and Ridg
way opposed it.
Mr. Davis moved to amend, requiring
such notice to be given fourteen days pre
vious to the presentation of the bill.
The amendment was accepted by Mr.
MeConaughy, the author of the bill.
The bill was disagreed to.
Every taxpayer in the State knows that
at each session of the Legislature acts' are
passed favoring one class and in many
cases injuring another—that private rights
areoften invaded—and good laws frequent
ly replaced by bad ones. It therefore
needs no great acumen to know that it
would be eminently wise and proper in
all cases where individuals or corporations
desirespeeial legislation, the public should
know something concerning the thing
asked for before it becomes a law. This
ought not alone to be applied to legisla
tion, but every application to a court for
new roads or changing old ones, as well
as many other things affecting the public,
ought to be made known in the same
raanner. Messrs. Bigham, Conne'l and
Ridgway however think differently, and
"the bill was disagreed to!" In Ohio
and various other States, these things art
better understood, as there not only such
applications but all general and local laws
which the people are expected to obey are
published in the newspapers, so that every
one can see and read for himself. In this
State, laws are passed from January to
April, published in midsummer, and cir
culated in such limited number that about
one man in 500 knows what has been
done or undone.
As an instance of the loose manner in
which legislation is carried on we find in
Legislative Record of a late date the fol
lowing :
"An act to repeal a part of an act ap
proved the 21st day of March, 1866."
There were no less than thirty acts ap
proved on the day referred to, thus ren
dering it impossible for any one at a dis
tance to give even the remotest yucsa as
to its provisions or what section of the
Btate it affects. Does it require any wis
dom to know that such things ought not
to be?
Xew Hampshire Election.
While patent democracy is trying to
console itself by electing a Supervisor or
School Director here and there by acci
dent, the victorious republican voters are
marching on to renewed triumphs wher
ever great principles are at stake. Gen
Hurrinian, who will be remembered by
his great speech in this place last fall at
the republican meeting, on Tuesday of
last week was elected Governor of New
Hampshire by over 3000 majority ! The
republicans also elected the three mem
bers of Congress, and in the Legislature
copperheads are as scarce as bed bugs in
a well-ordered household.

American humorist, died at Southamp
ton, England, a few weeks a<m His
projier name was Charles F. Brown He
was a native of Maine, but at an earlv
age went to Cleveland, Ohio.
B&- The supplemental Reconstruction
bill was taken up, in the U. S. Senate, on
Saturday last, and after being somewhat
amended, was passed—yeas 38, nays 2
Messrs. Buekalew and Hendricks. The
Bill originated in the House, and now
goes back for concurrence in the Senate
amendments.

" ne of his veto Messages, the
President draws it mild for the rebels in
speaking of the rebellion as the "opposi
tion which was made in some States to
the execution of the Federal laws." Com
parethis with Andrew Johnson as he was,
and the difference is night and daylight!
Destitution in tlie South.
. The papers for some weeks have been
filled with cases of destitution in the
.Southern States, the result without ques
tion of the miserable policy pursued by
the rebels in attending to political blus
ter instead of devoting their time and
means to raise crops for their own suste
nance. Nowhere can corn be more read
ily raised thau in South Carolina and
Georgia, vet sections of these States are
so destitute of what once constituted the
staple food of the middling class and poor
whites and of slaves, that appeals now
come td the north and west for aid to re
lieve the starving, and we are glad to say
is being liberally responded to. A letter
from a Methodist Minister at Columbia,
S. C., under date of March 1, says :
"Within sound of Columbia 1 know of
two deaths from actual want, and from
the intelligence my father has received
we have every reason that these are not
isolated cases.
"On my father's pension list are the
names of nearly four hundred persons,
representing nearly fif een hundred fami
lies, nearly all of whom are widows and
orphans or disabled soldiers. These per
sons are almost entirely dependent on the
help he rmy father) receives from abroad
for subsistence. Richland, as you know,
is by no means our largest or most desti
tute district; and when 1 tell you that this
district includes Richland alone, you may
judge for yourself the state of the case.
"I have seen sir, on many of the bitter
est days of our severe winter just past,
feeble women, wan with starvation, walk
ten, fifteen and twenty miles, scantily
covered, with their babies on their arms,
to receive a half bushel of corn, which
they are thankful to be able to carry home
to their starving children."
Such is the condition of a State which,
after thirty years of threatened violence,
at l:ist succeeded i:i inaugurating the
greatest civil war the world has witnessed
for thousands of years, and now, in wide
spread desolation and ruin, is realizing
the fruits of the teachings of its despera
does. The lesson is one all throughout
our vast country can lay to heart, for al
though we have at times cases of destitu
tion, arising from pride, from indolence,
from intemperance, or other ills, and oc
casionally from sickness or want of em
ployment, yet nosuchcurseor punishment
has yet fallen upon any free State north
or west.
Inciting to Rebellion.
All the democratic papers north are
again, just as they did before the rebel
lion, inciting the Southern people to resis
tance against the laws. They talk as if
these people lost no rights by rebelling,
but as if they had the same privilege to
growl, grumble and threaten as loyal men.
In the South the matter is better under
stood, and some there are reminding
northern democrats that such gammon
won't do a second time. The Lynchburg
Virginian refers to the " aid and comfort"
which the South has received from the
northern democracy, and adds:
"We do not hesitate to say, as one who
endeavored to thwart to the last the ten
dency of such advice, that, but for the en
couragement given by democratic jour
nals and politicians north, the southern
I>eople would not have resorted to seces
sion as a remedy for the undoubted wrongs
they were then suffering in the Union.—
They should be chary of such advice in
the future, for, in case of another war,
this very New York World and others
like it, would side with their own section."
The Wilmington Dispatch says:
" Before the war for southern indepen
dence was inaugurated many of the dem
ocrats of the North held just such lan
guage as that contained in the above as
an inducement for the southern States to
secede. They were taken at their word,
and the result was—the World, and such
men as. Daniel 8. Dickinson, Benjamin
F. Butler, Stephen A. Douglas, John A.
Dix and hundreds of others supported the
prosecution of t lie war with as much alac
rity and efficiency as the most ultra of the
Republicans. No doubt that what the
World says is true; but the utter folly of
the South's making such an attempt"can
hardly be characterized with sufficient
strength.
" Bet the North, which is jointly inte
rested, commence the resistance, and the
South will not be backward to doits part;
but excuse the South from playing the
cat's paw for securing northern chestnuts.
We nave been fooled in that way too
many times before, us the wife said to her
husband on a certain memorable occa
sion."

The Flood In the South West.
The Evansville, Indiana, Journal says
it is really painful to witness the great
overflow that now prevails on the Ohio
•river. From Evansville almost to New
berg tjie wild waste of waters has no visi
ble boundaries. The waters are pouring
aeross the neck of land, between Evans
ville and Henderson, with great violence.
Enterprise is totally submerged, but the
people wisely provided for such a contin
gency by building their houses on stilts
about a foot higher than high watermark,
and are in no special danger of being
washed away. No intercourse, however,
can be held between neighboring houses
except in boats. Taylorsport, Rome, Al
ton and the lower portion of C'annelton
were inundated and the residents were
compelled to move to the second storv.
Hundreds of houses along the shore are
partially submerged, the inhabitants hav
ing been compelled to vacate. In many
cases houses are standing on a small ele
vation entirely surrounded by water, the
residents having no means of intercourse
with the rest of mankind except in boats.
There are 110 river banks from Louisville
to Cairo. On Green river, also, an unpre
cedented fl(K)d prevails, inundating nearly
all the towns and villages. The Knox
ville Commercial says that East Tennes
see is literally covered with mud. The
Holston river is over its banks, and im
mense beds of flood wood are floating by.
The Cincinnati Gazette's despatch from
Nashville says thereportsof thesulfering
at Chattanooga and other places along the
Tennessee river are appalling.
Twenty-five dead bodies were seen float
ing down the river at Bridgeport, Ala.,
on the lflth inst. The loss of property is
estimated at one million of dollars.
Pennsylvania Legislature.
The Senate passed an act toconfer upon
the Courts of Quarter Sessions, power to
annex the land of persons resident in one
district to another district for school pur
poses.

A message was received from Governor
Geary, stating that he had received a je
tition from Jacob Zook, of Lancaster, for
relief. The petition set forth tiiat two
sous of the petitioner iiad gone to Missis
sippi, rented a plantation on Big Black
river, about twenty miles from Vicksburg,
and invested $5600, in 1866. In Novem
ber last they were murdered and robbed.
The National Gov(rnment sent an agent
to investigate the matter, audit appeared
that the partners of the deceased, who are
believed to have been their murderers,
had collected all the property and gone to
Texas. The petitioner asks the aid of the
State to bring the murderers to justice,
and Governor Geary accordingly urges
the Legislature to order a suitable reward.
The message was referred to the Com
mittee of Ways and Means.
A Magnificent Donation. —The family
of the late John P. C'rozier, Esq., says the
Delaware Republican, have given the
large, beautiful and substantial edifice lo
cated near that city, now occupied as a
military school, together with forty acres
of ground surrounding it, the whole val
ued at $85,600, to the Baptist denomina
tion for a Theological Seminary. In ad
dition to this the family also gave $170,-
000 in money for the erection of residen
ces for the professors and an endowment
fund. To this William Bucknell, Esq.,
of Philadelphia, adds $25,000 for the be
ginning of a library for the institution. —
This makes in all the handsome sum of
$280,000, the contribution of a single fam
ily, Mr. Bucknell being a son-in-law of
Mr. C'rozier.

ESTATE
REGISTER.
WAITED —A small improved farm
of from 50 to 100 acres, either to p ur .
chase or to rent. If not too high in price
will purchase.
I have on register for sale the following
real estate:
For Sale— A two story Brick House
in Water street, south side. Price Stjijo
and possession given Ist April.
A tract of Land containing i.*>o
Acres, more or less, situate on the line
of Oliver and Wayne townships, midway
between McVeytown and Newton Ham
ilton, ou the new road between those pla
ces. This land is limestone and Hint of
the best quality, and has frequently pro
duced as heavy crops as farms costing
double the money asked for this. Alvout
30 acres are in timber. The improvements
consist of a two story frame House, good
Barn with new wagon shed and corn crib
attached—an old orchard and another of
young trees just beginning to bear. It is
als)Ut one and a half miles from Vineyard
Station, and convenient torqill and school.
Possession can l>e had as may be desired.
The owner is desirous of removing, and
will take SCOOO if soon applied for.
A Farm of 133 Acres, in Wayne
township, but a short distance from At
kinson's Mills, on road leading to Newton
Hamilton, 110 acres of which are cleared
and under cultivation, fenced and divided
into convenient fields—remainder timber.
The improvements consist of a Log Home,
weatherboarded, new Bank Barn and oth
er outbuildings, excellent Orchard, <fcc.—
There is a fine meadow on the premises,
with running water, and a well at the
door. Price, 81000 —2000 cash, balance
in two annual payments, with interest.
Possession will be given on Ist April, if
desired. This is a cheap farm, and will
prove a bargain to any purchaser.
ALSO,
90 Acres of Land, situate in Gran
ville township, on the Pennsylvania Ca
nal, about 5 miles west of Lew is town. 82
acres cleared, well fenced, and in good or
der, and 8 acres in timber. The improve
ments consist of a two story Log House,
weatherboarded, good Bank Barn, Corn
Crib, Smoke House, Hog Pens, Black
smith Shop, &c. This land is all arable,
has an abundance of limestone on it, and
a landing on the canal, so that coal can
be procured with little trouble. It is only
half a mile from a railroad station, post
office and store. Most of the fencing is
post and rail —the posts locust —and about
50# locust posts could now be cut on the
premises. There are three good springs
on the place, two of them near the dwel
ling and some good fruit. 55 Dollars
per Acre. This is a fine property for u
farmer, and has been noted for raising
good crops.
ALSO,
A Farm of ITO Acres, 2J miles west
of McVeytown, the pike running through
it, 150 acres cleared, well enclosed, water
in every field, and 20acres in good timber.
Good IS tone House, Bank Barn 50 by 80,
Wagon Shed, Corn Crib, Hog Pens, Wash
House with never failing stream flowing
through it, Spring House, Smoke House,
large "Apple Orchard of choice grafted
fruit, (worth as much on an annual aver
age as the interest of the entire purchase
money,) as well as pear, cherry, peach and
plum trees. Price 840 per acre —one-half
cash, and remainder in one, two and three
years, if desired, with interest —purchaser
to pay one-half cost of surveying and ma
king deed. This is a desirable property,
and I believe the cheapest farm now for
sale in Mifflin county. The land is all
patented, and title indisputable.
ALSO,
Mt. Rock Mills, situate near Lewis
town, with 23 acres of Land, machinery
and fixtures all in good order, and noted
for making as good flour as is manufac
tured in the county. Price, SIO,OOO,
part of which (say $3000,) can be arranged
on a mortgage. This mill is now under
rent at a sum which pays all the taxes and
fully 8 per cent, on the" price asked. The
time for its sale is limited.
ALSO,
A Tract of 30 Acres, situate in
Wayne township, about 5 miles from Mc-
Veytown, from 20 to 25 acres cleared and
under cultivation. The soil is principally
gravel and produces well. It is well
watered, and has a fine patch of young
timber on it. Price £IOOO.
Another Tract of SO Acres, sep
arated from the above by the road from
McVeytown to Newton Hamilton, all
cleared and tolerably well fenced, and iu
a good state of cultivation. It has on it
a good two story Log House, plastered in
side and weatherboarded and painted out
side, together with Barn, Apple Orchard,
ten years old, well at the door, two springs
not far from the house, and other advan
tages. Price &lAOO.
Possession given Ist Nov., 1567. These
tracts will be sold separately or together.
If separate, one-half in hand, and balance
in two equal yearly payments with inte
rest, or in one yearly payment without
interest. If together, half cash, and bal
ance in two equal payments with inte
rest, or if all jaid cash, the half will be
discounted at 6 per cent. These proper
ties would make a desirable little farm,
and are situate in a very pleasant neigh
borhood.
ALSO,
A Tract of Land in Deny town
ship, one and a quarter miles from Lew
istown, on the canal, with the old pike
running through it, containing about 300
acres, 46 cleared and mostlv fen ceil, with
a two story Stone House, Rank Barn, an
Old Orchard, and a number of young trees
planted some years ago, consisting of ap
ple, pear and cherry. The remainder of
the tract is covered with pine, chestnut
and oak, from which a large quantity of
firewood could be cut, aud as it can be
easily hauled presents a strong induce
ment to an industrious man with a small
capital. One corner of this tract strikes
Jack's creek between the Edmiston and
old saw mill tract, thus giving access to it
by two roads. Price s3ooo— £ 1000 cash,
balance in such payments as may be
agreed on.
