As the Legislature has thus far author ized the printing of no public documents, and the franking privilege being repealed; those who may have expected such docu ments will know the reason why none have yet come to hand. As the business correspondence of our Senators and Representatives is quite ex tensive, those who write and expect an swers from them should also enclose the necessary postage stamps. As our Lan caster members have made for themselves a very good record, and do not appear to be " on the make) other than their law ful salary, they should not be required to meet all these demands upon them for postage. That each one writing to them and receiving answers should at least pay the postage is simple just and proper. AN IMPORTANT BILL On Friday last, Senator Billingfelt read in place the following bill, which was re ferred to the proper committee : " That it shall be the duty of the Com missioners of the Sinking Fund, during the month of July next, and in every month thereafter, to receive sealed proposals for the redemption of any part of the loans of this State next becoming due, and on the first Tuesday of each month thereafter to meet and open such proposals, and award to tie bidders all or such proportions of such bids, and at such rates as can be paid, to the interest of the Commonwealth, or as the condition of the Treasury, pre sent and prospective, may justify. That on the first day of August next, and on the first day at' each month thereafter, the said commission shall furnish for publica tion in one paper each in the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburg, a statement showing the balance in the Treasury, the amount of loans redeemed during the month, at what rate the same was redeem ed, with such other facts as they may deem proper for the information of the public. That a record of the proceedings of the said commission shall be kept and all proposals shall remain on file, properly endorsed, in the office of the State Trea surer, and included in the report now re quired to be made to the Legislature by the commissioners. They *hall also re port all offers made, whether the same were accepted or not." TUE Report of the Board of Prison In spectors occupies a great part of our space this week to the exclusion of, perhaps, more i nteresting reading matter. Our readers will bear with us. THE BIG FALSEHOOD Immediately after the defeat of the "gay and festive" Mackey and the breaking up of the Treasury Ring, the organ grinders in that interest at once made the most un qualified assertion that there was a bar gain between Messrs. Billingfelt, Warfel, Kerr and other Republican " bolters," with the democrats, for the defeat of the Philadelphia Police bill, and to award seats, in the Senate, to Messrs. Findley and Diamond, Democrats, in place of Messrs. Scull and Watt, Republicans. The passage of the Police bill in the Senate, by all the Republican Senators voting for it, except Mr. Lowry, complete ly explodes the falsehood referred to, and the Treasury plunderers will have to get up some other story to make au unfavor able impression towards our faithful Senators and Representatives, who upon all occasions, and for all proper purposes, vote in the interest of their own party. We are by no means sure that the Police bill ought to have passed, as up to the time of writing we have not read or seen it. As it received the votes of Messrs. Billingfelt and Warfel, we are confident that the bill is a fair one, and not a mere party measure. And we are confident, also,that in the cases of contested election, as far as Mr. Warfel is concerned—he be ing on one of the committees—the decision will be strictly according to law, evidence and justice, without the least regard to the political character of the contestants, or the howls and threats of the Treasury Ring or corruptionists on either side. in other words, Messrs. Billingfelt and Warfel, if we are not very much mistaken, are State Senators, who mean to perform the duties of the office honestly, consci entiously, and according to the solemn oath which they have taken. This is just what the people of Lancaster county in tended they should do when they elected them. 1 'AI 7 00 . 13 00 . 18 00 . 22 00 THE FRANKING PRIVILEGE. On Thursday of last week, under the call of the previous question, and with an hour's hurried discussion, there was pass ed in the House a bill, by a vote of 174 to 14, which covers far more than the words would seem at lirst glance to indicate. The principle of the bill to abolish the franking privilege, as reported from the committee and passed without amendment or alteration, may be briefly stated as fol lows : llencefoith all matter which passes through the mails must be paid for. The consequences of this rule reach further than might be supposed. We merely note two of them at this moment. The instant this bill takes effect, if it should become a law— The free circulation of papers in the county where published will be done away with. The exchange list of newspapers will no longer have the freedom of the mails. By the terms of the bill it may be pro per to add the bill does not go into effect until July 1. By this it will be seen that some folks who were loudest in the clamor for this reform get more than they bargained for. The only parties who will be benefited by the passage of the law, will be the publish ers of the large city weeklies, for their cir culation will be largely increased in the country, to the injury of local newspapers. The Postmaster General should be called upon to explain how he is going to save five millions by the abolition of the frank ing privilege. He spoke at random evi dently, because the cost of transporting the mails will not be reduced one copper by the changes, in the opinion of men who know something about the grasp ing disposition of rail road companies in this respect. But we suppose the whole question will be ventilated in the Senate, and if it is made apparent that the people will be benefitted by prohibiting all free matter from the mails, no one will sup port it more vigorously than ourselves. No opportunity was given for discussion in the House, as the bill was passed under the Previous Question, which cut off all debate. "CORRUPT BARGAIN AND SALE." The Harrisburg Telegraph, one of the organs of the Ring of Corruptionists, only a few days back deliberately asserted that there was a bargain and sale between the " Republicans of the Senate and the Democrats ; that the former had agreed to defeat the Philadelphia Police bill, and award seats in the Senate to Messrs. Findley and Diamond. These or gans of the Treasury gamblers and corrup tionists openly advocated the monstrous proposition to award seats to Messrs. Scull and Watt, purely upon thepartizangrounds, and without regard to the actual rotes of the people of their districts! The passage of the Metropolitan Police bill, by the votes of Messrs. Billingfelt, Wairel and Kerr, at once proves the witire falsity of the charge. But now we find a new charge of " bargain and sale," open ly made by the Tcl(graph—not against Billingfelt, orLowry, or Warfel,but against Mr. W. W. Watt ! Only last week the Telegraph wanted the committee to decide in favor of Mr. Watt, as the duly elected Senator, even without a fair and thorough investigation. But, all at once, that em bodiment of innocence, honesty and p uri ty, Mr. George Bergner, comes out openly and squarely against that same Mr. W. W. Watt, and accuses even him of a cor rupt bargain.and sale because he was the only Republican Senator who voted for Mr. Lowry's new County bill. And "we can produce the proof of a corrupt bargain and sale," says the Telegraph. Now, what has Mr. Watt done to be branded as a corruptionist? Is his case against Mr. Diamond a hopeless one, and is that the reason why he is thus deserted by Bergner? A NEW DODUE. The Ring of Thugs and Corruptionists of this county have just hit upon a new dodge—trying to make it appear that their chief, George Brubaker, has recently be come identified with the reformers, and thus they hope to make the latter odious in public estimation, they well knowing that in order to disgust the people of Lan caster county with any political move ment, it is only necessary to taint it with the George Brubaker persuasion. During the contest for State Treasurer, George was at Ilarrisburg, and doing his very best to get himself recognized as an Irwin man and entitled to confidence and re- spect as such, but in this he did not suc ceed as he was entirely without influence and received no recognition. But "it won't do to give it up 50. ,, A new dodge is now attempted by his second fiddle organ, the Ex<e finer, to poison the public mind by asserting that George is on our Side, endorses Senator Billingfelt, &c. This reminds us of a sharp fellow who employed a man who had the itch to go about from place to place, and shake hands with every body, he pretending to be crazy, and in due time the principal fol lowed him as the vender of itch ointment, and sold some in almost every house. But, somehow, the people won't shake hands with George, for they know that his political disorder—even worse than the itch—is contagious, and the probability is that Jack Hiestand will find no sale for his ointment. THE "BOLTERS." After alluding to the facts that not one of the so-called " bolters" favored the con tinuance of the publication of the Worth, the Pittsbury ('ontlocreial fully expresses our views and but tells the truth in the following : "And here we desire to be understood as predicting that to the close of the ses sion, these much abused gentlemen will at all times be fbund in opposition to every manner of extravagance, and proving themselves just what they profess to be, faithful advocates and active promoters of Retrenchment, Economy and Reform. No outrageous proposition will come from that quarter, and the true interests of the State will have no more capable or consis tent friends than these same " bolters." Would that there were more just like them!" Olorreopondence. OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER PHILADELPHIA, February 2d, 1870 Dear Abe : For the past week the employ ees of our Navy Yard were in considerable 01, a flutter owing to a rumor that Uncle Sam was about to shut up shop, and discharge all hands in consequence of the Appropriation being exhausted. Sure enough, what many looked upon as government gossip, was carried into effect on Monday evening last, Commodore Marchant, receiving an order from the Department at Washington, for the dismissal of one thousand employees in the Construction and Steam Engineering Depart. ment. The Clerks, however, will be retained until the books, & c., are settled up. The average pay of he men in the yard is about $2.75 per diem, the maximum being $4, and the mininum $1.90 per diem. There are about three hundred men yet employed who will not be discharged, for the present. It is to be regretted that Congress has made no appro priation for our navy yards, as over eleven thousand men will thus be thrown out of employment throughout the country in the middle of winter. Congress should and will probably fix this affair up at once, so that these men can again go to work. It is a deplorable fact that no City in the Union has as little attention paid to the pub lic highways as Philadelphia. Annually thou sands of dollars are appropriated by Councils for the purpose of keeping the streets in re pair, but the money instead of being used to improve and beautify our highways goes— somewhere. With a view of reducing their bills for the repair of vehicles and horse shoe ing, a number of our public spirited citizeas have organized an association, and intend to take the cleansing and repairing of the streets into their own hands, but whether they will succeed in this immense undertaking remains to be seen. Just now a number of individuals are making a great hue and cry throughout the city, by endeavoring to create a prejudice against capital punishment. These Anti gallows advocates hold meetings almost nightly, but somehow or other their little game won't go down with our people. In fact there ate too Many unhung worthies at large this very day on our streets, who could very easily be treated to a few yards of hemp with out their loss being mourned by a community. The past year has been a very successful one to the places of amusements, judging from the regular quarterly returns made to Uncle Bam's officials, seven of the pzincffisal theatres in the city having done a business of $666.360 during the year 1869, and toot of these places having been closed seirstal months in the summer for repairs. The " Benwoodites" havegot intatrouble. District Attorney Gibbons did at. g 09j1 thing when he caused a descent to be ads upon the policy venders, but the Mutt didyet better in fixing the bail at such a halve *M "4-11.44" was compelled to take ap *air abode at Eleventh street wharf—better known as the county prison—for at least one Week of their mortal lives. Now all. that remains is for the authorities to turn their attention to the gambling hells in the vicinity of Chestnut and Ninth streets. H. B. M. Prince Arthur William Patrick Guelph Esquire, would not under any eon sideration consent to honor the Quebec City with his presence, notwithstanding that be was strongly urged to do so by the British Consul. He passed through(by connecting rail I believe) on his way to Washington last week, and as quietly returned. "To New Orleans without a change of cars" is the latest, the Pennsylvania Central having announced that paasengers canVika a car at twelve o'clock at West Philadelphia, and will not be called upon to change until they arrive in New Orleans. The passage of the Police Bill by the State Senate, has caused great rejoicing, blue orate and police badges being decidedly below par among the Democracy. It is to be hoped that sick and wounded citizens, as in the cam of Mr. Robert Pollard will not be thrown Into filthy station houses to die under the new commission. The weather hat set in decidedly colder within the past few days, and the ice men blandly smile as they pass you in the streets now. Yours, &c., TiiE emancipation movement is making great progress in Brazil. OUR HARRISBURG LETTER Ha untsnueo, February 2; 1870. Editors Father Abraham : Senator Billing felt has emphatically given the lie to the assertions of his enemies that he had entered into an agreement with the Democrats in the late Treasury tight, that in consideration of their votes for Irwin he would join hands with them in opposing the Metropolitan Police Bill. The New County Bill—" Petro lia"—which has been a bone of contention here for some winters, came up in third read ing in the Senate on Monday evening, and passed by a small majority, both your Sena ? tors voting in the negative. Immediately after Senator CONNELL called up the Phile ast& Police Bill, creating and incorpo ra g a Board of Commissioners who shall appoint the police force for that city, and under the call for the previous question, which cut off debate, it passed to third read ing by a vote of 14 to 13. Senators Billingfelt and Warfel voted in the affirmative. Will the Examiner and Inquirer make a note of this? The following day it passed the Senate finally, and while I write-4 p. m.—the House is holding a special session for its considera tion, and before this reaches the eyes of your readers it will have become slaw. Our Phila lelphin, friends—or rather the politicians— ihould feel happy over the result. The House sessions lately have been de voted to private bills, a large number of which have passed—none of any interest to your county. The Lefrislatice Record received its death ' blow in the House last week. Representa tive Reiniehl made an earnest speech against it. The vote stood 76 ayes to 16 nays. A proposition to print the proceedings in the two daily papers of this city was considered, but no conclusion arrived at. Petitions to State Legislature from all parts of the State are pouring in. praying that the license question may be submiited to a vote of the people. Senator Warfel has introduced an Act relative to levying and collecting tolls by turnpike companies in Lancaster county. Also, a supplement to the Act incorporating the borough of Elizabethtown ' Lancaster county. Senator Billingfelt, Act for the more speedy redemption df the debt of the Commonwealth. This bill appeared in the city dailies of Saturday last, and is now in the hands of the Finance Committee. In the House, Mr. Reitaehl has introduced an Act to amend the Charter of Lancaster city ; also petitions from Lancaster county, iu favor of submitting the licensed question to a popular vote. Petitions of like import were also pre sented by Representatives Wiley, Godschalk an Herr. Mr. Wiley also presented a re monstrance from Marietta, against any change is her borough lines. Mr. Godschalk, a remonstranee from Bart township, against any change in the road lands of said town ship. Your correspondent will endeavor to post your readers in regard to all matters of inter tet transpiring hereabouts, notwithstanding the; emonstrance of friend Yocum, who seems anxious to keep his readers in the dark. His "Spy-Inge," at least, don't reach Harrisburg. Better change your name, Mr. spy. LesT year Ohio granted one thousand and three divorces. This decides the spirited contest for the championship of the Union in the divorce business which has been going on so long between Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.

The exercises were of a highly interesting character, and the attendance of visitors was very large. We agree with the Columbia Spy in the fol lowing: "We begin to hear the croak: 'What shall we do nest Summer for ice?' But it will be time enough to begin that croak at the end of February. We have noticed that—hard winter or mild winter—it does not much affect the price of ice." • The Fair of the African M. E. Church held last week in Fulton Hall, netted about 11200.
