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. ftar " Artemus Ward,'"" UnTpopular 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. A piece of coal, weighing 7679 lbs. from the mines of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, at Summit Hill passed over the Lehigh Valley Railroad to New York, where it is to be shipped to the Paris Exposition as a sample of one of the products of the Lehigh Valley. " 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." Government oltbe Rebel States. OFFICIAL ORDER. General Grant, in General Order No. 10, publishes for the information and govern ment of all concerned, the act to provide for the more efficient government of the Rebel States, and concludes as follows : In pursuance of this act the President directs the following assignments to be made: First District, State of Virginia, to be commanded by brevet Major-General J. M. Schofield. Headquarters, Richmond, Va. Second District, consisting of North Carolina and South Carolina, to be com manded by Major-General D E. Sickles. Headquarters, Columbia, S.

The buildings to be occupied by the Pans Exposition this year will cover an yard9 ' aud the^TiiVv 6 '!- P res 'dcnt of the r irst National Bank of Westminster, few j£ ago dted a 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. On the same day an act was passed rel ative to weights and measures, fixing a bushel of wheat at HO lbs., rye 56, shelled corn 56, cob "corn 70, ecfrn meal 40, course salt 70, ground salt 62, line salt 47, barley 47, oats 32, buckwheat 50, cloverseed 64, timothy seed 46, turnips 55, onions 56. peas 56, malt 33, unslacked lime 80, an thracite coal 80, bituminous coal 76, coke 40, potatoes 56, sweet potatoes 54, flaxseed 56, bran 20, heaus 56, dried peaches 38, dried apples 25. 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. KbfT A bar of Montana gold worth SIOO,- ()00 is to be sent to the Paris Exposition. ffcif* A German brewer died a few days since at St. Louis, leaving §1 to each "of his children and $500,000 to his widow. &ar" The nomination of Mr. Cowan for Minister to Austria has been finally re jected. EkiT' Henry Howser, of Beaver Springs, has been appointed Deputy Collector of Snyder county. L> Professor John H. Alexander, who died in Baltimore on Saturday a week, was buried at midnight 011 Sunday night, in compliance with his dying request. &SL SSOO in gold were lately stolen from a farmer named Valentine Klase, residing near Snydertown, Northumberland coun ty. One S2O piece was marked "V. K.," and a $lO piece " M. B." A terrible accident occurred in the woods in Wisconsin by which a man was thrown eighty feet into the air. The man killed was standing 011 a balance tree to see another tree come down, when the tree in its falling course struck the other end of the tree on which the man was standing, and the tremendous weight of it coming 011 the spring lever threw him like a shot into the air.
