It has been nearly four months shice the regular session of tlie Legislature adjourned, and as the record of lcglshi tlen cannot be completed until the ns sembly has passed the apportionment bills or lias adjourned finally without effecting the purposes for which It was convenod, there can bone publication of the pamphlet laws of 1SS3 for sotne time yet. Meantime they are in force, how ever ; and, under the system which pre vails in Pcnsylvanla the public has no notice of thorn whatever. " Ignorance of the law," says the old and approved maxim," excuses no one," nnd yet here we lire living under and subject te laws that we knew nothing about. Fortu nately, aud thanks ines'ly te the gover gever gover ner, there are few new ones and net many of a penal character ; besides the court and district attorney and 'squires donet knew them either and people are net apt te be prosecuted for violations of them just new; but for all that, the startling fact remains that uuder the meagre nnd utterly inadequate method of making new statutes known te the people whom they are te govern It is entirely possible for people in Penn sylvania te go en for years violating laws, the existence of which they never have had nny reason te suspect. Take this law, alleged te have beeu passed at this session of the Legislature, requiring dentists te register. What knowledge has the class affected by it of its previsions, and if a suit were te Le brought for its penalties, hew would it be determined what is the law ? It was said, in reproach of an old Iienian cruelty of the law making powers, that the de crees were posted se high up that the common peeple could net read them aud they suffered for their innocent Ignor ance. In this year of grace the provi previ sions of the government for making its citizens acquainted with their new laws seem te be les3 liberal. We commend te the present state administration some inquiry Inte the methods prevailing In ether states for the publication of their Btatutes. Surely nothing could be mere inadequate aud unjust than the Penn sylvania plan. Where the Ulfllciilty Lies. The New Yerk Sun advises Us co temporaries, the llcrahl and the 'lunca, te take the back track nnd restore their price te four cents. The Su i finds two supreme dllllculties lu the way of any newspaper in this country achieving the enormous circulations of certain French and English journals. The first is the lack of concentrated population, and the second Is the greater cost of the news paper here, in its raw material, and in its contents. There is no doubt that both these causes exist te ar a great circula tlen te a cheap journal ; but there are considerations en the ether side te offset them in part, if uet wholly. The one is that this Is a country of newspaper readers and of well paid people. News papers are net borrowed or hired lieie, or taken jointly by different families, as in Europe. In nearly every household at least one paper is taken and in most mere than one. We knew no reason why a journal should net reach at least as great a circulation here as anywhere in the world, if it could make itself sufll clently popular. The dilllculty lies in the sharp competition here, which makes the newspapers generally se geed that no one can get away ahead of another. If cheapness alone would dhtance cempeti tlen, the Sun would long age have walked away from Its cotemperaries, for it is as geed and lias been cheaper. Hut the price Is net an overruling con sideration with the newspaper reader here, and the excellence of the larger newspapers preserved them their circn latlen. The aim of the paper seeking a large circulation is te first make itself as geed as possible ; te be as cheap as pus sible is but tiie second consideration. The citizens of Philadelphia probably never step te consider the anomalous system of government uuder which they live by reason of the fact that the county and city of Philadelphia are cetermin eus. When the various towns and rural districts which formerly comprised the county were consolidated the forms of county government were retaiued.and hence it happens that a certain class of officers there are elected in the fall aud another clas3 in February, contempera neeusly with ether municipal elee tiens throughout the state. When the dispute nrose as te whether the vacancy in the etllce of recorder was te be filled by appelntmant of the governor or elec tlen by councils It was recalled hew easily this double system of government might lead te a c millet of jurisdiction and disputes of authority whlch.happlly, have thus far net frequently arisen. But in the case of a riot, such as sheriffs of counties and mayors of cltie are alike txiueu upuu, in iiieir respective jurisule tiens, te quell, it might 1)3 very difficult te determine In Puiladelphia county and city just where the supreme power is ledged. Should It se happen that polit ical causes Induced It, and these two officers were of different partisan sy m pathies and views, a cenlllct of jurlsdio jurlsdie jurlsdio tlen might arise that Is as perplexing as it may be profitable te contemplate. Tub Senate had a Bert or a Quaker meetingscssien yesterday. Nethlnir was done because there was no quorum, llttle was Bald because there was little te be Baid and there was no adjournment le. cause the Itepublican senators were net numerous enough te force ene. A call of the IIouse was ordered nnd an absent senator, who was unlucky enough te be named Adams, and te stand at the head of the list, was ordered under arrest, before the clock struck ene, which was the adjourning hour. The senator went home and the sergeant-at-arms will go after Adams, perhaps, and perhaps net. Adams will be around, however, when the Senate meets'en Tuesday and Adams will be excused for having been away en Friday. It was net a very edifying ses ses sleu of the Beuate. It would be a real comfort te have something edifying from IJarrlsburg pretty seen. Anethku week has come and koiie aud no session of the Heuse at Harris burg showed the attendance of 101 members, the necessary number te pass a bill. The members who were in at tendance made no attempt te execute the processes of the Heuse against these who were uet present, and hence It Is te be assumed that they are satisfied with this state of tlilugs. During the past ten days nearly every Democratic journal in the sUite has spoken out In hearty ap pruvul of the lNTi:r.Lier'cnn's position that the Heuso had better adjourn at once than maintain this struggling fight and wavering front. The governor is known te be of the same opinion. The members individually profess te agree with It. Then why de they net step feeling aud de enu thing or the ether V In 1S70 Pennsylvania was the twelfth state lu the union in the production of tobacco; new It is the third, Kentucky and Virginia only exceeding it. Like young Loehiuvar the Athletic have come out of this wet, having proven that of all in the association their club is the best. Tun American 15 1 bin society is making a-r.iugetneuts for issuing 2,003,000 cepies next year, aud ureu with such au euer mom distribution the supply will fall far s tort of the demand. Tut iminpuse demonstration at Biniren, 0 jrmauy, in honor of the unveiling of the 8 atute of the Niederwald seems te iudi oitethat the vast tide of German immlgia tien te this country ha had au aim ok' mi appreciable effect in thinning out the u'atleu of the empire. Tins has beeu the most protltuble season i i Iho history of baseball. The Athletic clab, which has just wen the association pannaut, took in as gate money the asteu ishiug sum of 115,250, while the profits te the management after deducting all ex pauses aggregate $73 320. Several mere games yet te be played will swell this sum te a blilt haudsomer flgure. A (loon exaraple has been, set ether citlt-s by the action of the authorities in Richmond, Va., of imposing a peualty of 9500 aud imprisonment en these who sell obsceno prints like the 1IUc Gazette, the Wirt Xetts and the Weekly Demyt The newsdealers et that city have all beeu indicted, and it would be well if this sort of treatment were acjerded everywhere te these who deal in these nefarious publica tions. Mum'MEKTi frequently serve te keep alire the mem iry of these whom it were better te have consigned te eternal oblivion. The statue of General Jehn F. UiyneUU, 6oen te be put in plaea in Fairmount park, Philadelphia, does net, howevor, coins under that category. He was a tried and true soldier, whose death at Gettysburg while fightiug valiantly for the utiien will bokuevMiaud treisureu1 of future genera tbus when the moaumeuts et the proseut will have crumbled te decay. Many peeple affect surprise at the small percentages of the youth of the using generation who apprentice them Hslvca te trades, yet it is net at all atten- ishiug iu view of the profound iguorance pievalent ceuceruing the true dignity of labor, Beys unconsciously imbibe from their surroundings the belief that a well dressed, but poorly paid store clerk is mero te be envied than a horny hauded, high salaried mechauie. Other influences at work in driving boys from trades are tbe rules of trades unions which exclude them from their organizations, and the fact that propiietors of shops will net let t'lfir skilled workmen devote their time te teaching boys the trades. Iu some cases tee the skilled empleye fears that he may be supplanted after imparting his knowl edge te ethers. All thrse forces tends te dampen the ardor of the youths who are dosirieus of apprenticing themselves te a manual occupation. Learning a trade may or may uet be a geed thing for the rising generation, hut it is manifestly unfaii te put obstacles iu the way of him whose aspirations iuu in that direction. FKATUHKSOF THE STATE PKES9, Although ttie ways of the milkmen are devious- the Pittsburg Ditpateh thinks they ate uet past finding out. The Media Recerd discovers that Penn sylvania pessestes tee many thimble-ring-giug statesmen. "Tne true charitable householder will feed no tramp ; it' a man will net work neither shall he cat,'1 sagely observes the Alteena Tribune. The Petter Enterpnte is of opinion that this state needs a law or regulation where by its representatives aud senaters will be paid for their work and for their time spoilt iu that work. Peihaps after all, fays the Philadelphia Chronicle Herald, it is hotter te liave Mr. Arthur pleasantly leafing around Newpert than putting up political jobs with his Nuw Yerk cronies. The Easten Exprcti remarks that a literary man with a dime can new purchase the four big New Yerk morning journals, aud liave a cent left te walk across the Brooklyn bridge. The New Helland Clarien thinks that men who form opinions upon reading newspaper accounts of anything, and then doclare that judicial evidonae weuldu'l change such opinions are uet fit te serve en a jury. ISayimluii tbe Hutler Interview. Senater Bayard was shown Friday morning the telegraph extract from the Chicago lltrald' editorial of te-day.
