The duties of a pilot are at least two fold,
yea manifold, perhaps a hundred fold. First,
he must encounter the dangers of the sea;
and on shore ho is expected to attend to
everybody's business as well as his own, for
none are so competent anti trusty as the in
bred and inborn pilot. Thus he is in some
respects an amphibious animal, a sort of
water dog, to whom it matters little whether
he is in or out of water, save when he is in
hot water, and then ho steams and foams like
a teakettle in a rage. On land, his duties far
transcend those elsewhere, for being a leader,
a finger-board, an index, a pointer, it is his
especial mission to show to all the way they
should go, and of course the politics of the
day require his more particular attention.
Hence every aspiring genius who would im
prove his moral, political or social position,
or has the vanity to look for preferment
above his fellow men, must look to the pilot,
as his safety barge and his political locomo
tive. And who should know as well as the
pilot, for he has access to the Grand High
Priest of sublimated Thuggery, and can lead
him up the sacred steps, introduce him t•
the only idol worthy of worship, in whom
there is no guile, and in whom is concentered
all honor, and whose beck and nod determine
the fate of all. Therefore, put your trust in
'he pilot, who is the wisest of all the wisest,
and makes a splendid doorkeeper.
ICOMMUNICATED.I
To the Editors of Father Abraham,: I bor
rowed your last paper of my neighbor, and I
see you spoke very severely against Mr. Sen
senig, (Prison keeper) for his making so much
money—getting rich so fast, and so on, all of
which seems proper enough. But you seem
not to go far enough, nor tell all about his of
fers to buy property. Sensenig also offered
$40,000 for a tavern property in Lancaster.
But why not complain of the Prison Inspec
tors, who helped him to coin all this money
in three years. They are the parties to blame
and to be held accountable for such reckless
waste of the people's money. It hits every
taxpayer's pocket, and I want the whole truth
to be told, and then see if the people are pre
pared to go on and re-elect such Inspectors as
Mr. Sweigart and Mr. Shaeffer. If my neigh
bor, Abraham R. Witmer, is to be believed,
(and I believe no more trustworthy man can
be found,) a responsible member of the Board
of Prison Inspectors offered to bring forward
a man who would furnish the prisoners rations
of food for thirteen cents per day, for which
Mr. Sensenig was getting thirty cents per day
at that time, and the Inspectors continued to
give him that price for more than one year
after that time. And that Inspector stated
at the same time, that this man who offered
to furnish rations for thirteen cents, would
give bonds forslo,ooo for the performance of his
contract acceptably, and to the Inspectors' sat
isfaction. Anti again, I heard a Prison In
spector offer 86,000 to the keeper of the prison
for his net profits for a year, but he said, "No,
it did not suit him to sell out in that way."
I heard Mr. Cadwell say, that in the five years
he kept the prison, he made $20,000 clear, over
and beyond the main tai nance of his own fam
ily, in food, clothing and everything, and yet
he only received eighteen cents per day for the
board of convicts, (except two mouths, he
got twenty cents,) and twelve cents for va
grants, and some of the time only sixteen
cents for convicts. And a portion of that
time provisions were fully as high as they
have been for one year past. If you think this
article worth publishing, I will furnish you the
facts by the Inspectors' sworn statements, in
connection with facts of your own knowledge,
that Sensenig is making more than $7,500 per
annum, and has for more than two years past.
Respectfully yours,
MANA.

Nicresvitts, PA., Aug. sth, 1869 .
Editors of the ItUpress : I notice in your issue
of the 4th inst., that the Hon. A. Aimatrong,
in a letter, is vindieating himself from having
any connection with my receiving pay at Har
risburg as pastor and folder in the Session of
1866, and implicating John M. Stehman, that
through his influence 1 was paid for the posi
tion. I deem it but an act of justice to Mr.
Stehman, to state through your valuable
paper, under outh, the exact case :
First, in the Session of '67 I was one of the
Transcribing Clerks of the House, being then
appointed through Mr. Steinman ; but as Mr.
Stehman was no candidate fu the Fall of '67, i
and my friends, Mr. Stehman included, pre
vailed on Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Steaey, in
the event of their re-election, to have me re-ap
pointed as Transcribing Cl , k, which they agreed
to do. They asked me repeatedly to use my
influence in their behalf, which I did, in my
own district, and s.•veral other districts I can
vassed. Mr. Armstrong asked me how many
votes he could deptad on from Manhelm-tivp.
I told him about fifty, and he was satisfied—
but we gave him several more. After his elec.
tion, I and my friends urged my claim. lie
promised he would have it done when the cau
cus met, prior to the organization. Mr. Arm
strong refused to go into Caucus, and in conse
quence of which (I then being his man for the
above-uained position) I fell. After the House
attempted to organize, Mr. Armstrong, with
eight other members, locked the organization
—ot which nearly every person is aware.
After the Douse was organized, and Mr. Arm
strong voting for Mr. Davis for Speaker, Mr.
Davis and others, offered to give him a position
as pastor and folder for me—but said that a
Clerkship could not be had. Mr. Stehman and
others urged him to accept it, and I agreed to
take it. liut Mr. Armstrong still refused to
accept it. Then Mr. S. came to me and said
that they may now do as they please, he would
have no more to do with it, and went home.
Mr. Armstrong then told me he was going to
have me appointed by resolution, end said that
he had made an arrangement to that effect
with Mr. Davis and tltliAral end in eousequenee
of a failure tot a clerkship, I should have the
appointment of poster and folder, anyhow. /
was off and on at - Harrisburg every week a fey
days, for about live weeks, still expecting to be
set to work, whet, tbety told me not to come
till they would send for me.. I became disgust
ed and did not go up any more until toward
the eloee of the Session. Y wrote to Mr. Arm
strong asking what would be done in my case,
when he senrme the following dispatch
Henaissean, April lat i h, itata.-y-Te Ilyus •
Conte up. (Signed.] A. AlthMT
I did go up, and at the ()loge of the Session,
Mr. Armstrong said I could get my warrant by
calling at the Chief Clerk's desk, when one
of the clerhe Sitedent . iny paltecbad the Chief
clerk and -flaggr mom I. then pro
