glory belongs. This was not a war of na
tions but of treason against loyalty. It was
a.contest of rebels who. would have drained
the life's blood of the government which
had nurtured and protected them, against
its patriotic sons who fought to save it from
destruction. It was a war, curried on by
the defenders and promoters of oppression
against the friends and lovers of liberty
and their country's integrity.
While there is no reasonable objection to
giving decent sepulture even to the rebel
dead, those who consider them deserving
of honorable testimonials • may bestow
them. It is our duty to render honor only
to whom we believe honor is due.
MONTEIIENT TO DECEASED SOLDIERS OF THE
EEMEMIEZE
The commissioners appointed under an
act of the Legislature, approved April 22,,
1858, "to contract ilir, and superintend the
erection of a monument to the memory of
citizens of Pennsylvania who were slain
or lost their lives in Ululate war with Mex
ico," have contracted for the erection of a
monument, in a prominent portion of the
Capitol gTortudi and the work is progress
ing as rapidly LS circumstances will per
mit. The appropriation of .jti,eoo, to which
the commissioners are limited, is inade
quate for the object contemplated. The
lowest Ind for the contract was 38,200 . I
join the commissioners, therefore, in re
questing au additional appropriation of
three thousand dollars, to he used, or so
much thereof es may he necessary, to com
plete the undertaking.
Your patriotism will doubtless give a
insurable response to this request, and the
enlightened people of the Commonwealth,
rising above selfish and ;partisan feelings,
will sanction such expenditure for the
erection of t h is honorable memento. A
State that has been prodigal of her toil lions
in 111, , employment of her physical resour
ces and in the performance of every noble
and disinterested act which philanthropy
could suggest, cannot forget her gallant
sons whose snflrings amid sacrifices for
their country have never been fully appre
ciated, and whose remains repose among
• strangers, in a foreign hum, without a
stone, however rude, to indicate their last
resting places, or distinguish their graves
from those of their hilly!! enemies.

Plllll,lO NOTICE TO BE oIVEN 00 CERTAIN
Your attention is also invited to the nets
of May 13,1857, and April 2, Isla), (Digest,
page 13,) requiring public notice to be given
of theupplieation for all private acts re
lating ti real estate and fur acts of incorpo
ration. The wisdom and jultico of these
aro manifest, and their enforcement cannot
be otherwise than beneficial.
At the last session certain bills were passed
in which large numbers of citizens were
deeply interested, the responsibility Mr
which, after the adjournment, but few inem
hers could be found wilting to assume, or
even to admit any knowledge of their pas
sage. It is expected that every legislator
should be acquainted with all twit is trans
piring In the legislative halls. He is not
simply chosen to give his support to certain
bills which have been culled to Ms indi
vidual attention, but to be constantly on the
alert to frustrate every act that may have a
tendency to jeopardize the public interests.
To plead ignorance after a real or imagi
nary wrong has been dune,
is to acknowl
edge a want of attention to the trust reposed
by his constituents. One bill, the author
ship and knowledge of which has been gen
erally disclaimed, passed both branches of
the Assembly, and was sent in due form,
with the signatures of the proper officers,
for the Executive approval, and in several
instances bills were passed and sent for ap
proval in duplicate. All such hasty and
careless legislation should be avoided, and
the members of the session now about to ,
commence be enabled at its close to give an
account of their participation in every act
• however unimportant. The Legislature,
coming as it does, fresh from the ranks of
the people, should set an example in econo
my, retrenchment and reform. It is the
custodian .of the public interests, and any
unnecessary extravagance or prodigality
in the expenditure of public money is rep•
rehensible. It Wes a matter of common no
toriety at the last session that a number of
subordinate officers, in both brunches of the
Assembly, were appointed, to whom liberal
eateries were paid, and who were never
se9n at their designated posts, and rendtired

in the public estimation §P3at importance
attached to this bill, and no action of the
egislature undergoes. a closer or more
citreful scrutiny. Its provishms concern
the entire community, and in their enact
ment too much caution cannot be observed.
Last year the appropriation bill was not
passed until the last night of the session,
when it was hurried through both branches
of the Legislature, and on the following
morning presented for approval, without
allbrding time fur the necessary investiga
tion, and subjecting the Executive to the
alternative of signing it:with all its imper
fections, or suspending, for the :ensuing
year, the indispensable means for the oper
ations of the State Government. It is, there
fore, earnestly desired that the appropria
tion bill be taken up, discussed, and passed
at a sufficiently early period during the
session to enable it to receive that thorough
examination which its importance de
mands.
PERQUISITES OF OFFICE.
Very many serious complaints have been
made tier many years past relative to the
disposition of the debris which annually
accumulates about the Copitol. This seems
to leave been regarded aslegitimate perqui
sites of certain attaches of the several legis
lative and other departments, and has con
sequently led to practices which should be
prevented. It Is alleged that valuable
'property has thus been taken possession of
and applied to personal uses, or sold for
mere nominal sums, and the amount ob
tained privately appropriated. A remedy
for this evil is to allow no perquisites what
ever to any of the employees of the govern
ment. Salaries, sufficient in all cases fur the
services rendered, should be appropriated,
beyond which no other corysideratlon should
be allowed. The adoption of this principle
would remove the temptatiOn - for young
men in the departtnents to resort to im•
proper practices. All the public property,
of every description, as well SS the build
ings and grounds, should be placed in
charge t4ILLu sUIAssUILUIRIera appointed for
that purpose, chosen for his known integ
rity and general capability, and required to

formance of his duties. All property and

peristendent should be required to sell at
public sale, and pay over the proceeds to
the State TteuSUry.
The subject of a general railroad law
has long been agitated, and although
it lion mond opponents, but lbw ob
jections have been urged against it,
whilst arguments accumulate in its fa-
VOI. It seems impossible that any person
can receive injury from its adoption, whilst
its benefits may be felt by all clussesuf citi
zens. Even the chartered companies have
no reasonable grounds for opposition. Thu
intention of the proposed law is not to de

Next to the importance of creating ad
ditional railroads on the free principle, is
the reduction of charges for passage and
freight to minimum rates. Tine is a mat
ter that concerns every individual. Trans
portation will increase in ipitintity ill pro
portion to the reduction of tin Cost, and as
facilities increase :tad the costs decrease,
the noire vigorous will be the development
ill our Industrial resources. Railroads will
derive newt: benefit Irom low than from ex
orhalint charges. The increase of travel
and freight will be vastly greater than
the increase Ot eXpenSe. 'fate transpor
tation or a loaded car rusts but little
more than that of ono that is
empty, In the mutter of passengers idOne,
It in reasonable to suppose, that the lower
the rates of fare, the greater will be the
number of persons to avail themselves of
the privilege of railroad transportation.
The same is true in regard to freight; for
the engine that dr o ss a half-dozen cars can
with nearly equal fiwility propel a larger
number. Aloreover, the road that is work
ed to its utmost capacity must necessarily,
at Very reduced rotes, acquire greater pro
fits than one that transacts but a small por
tion of the business fur which it to compe
tent. Tau adoption of a system of uniform
rates for passengers awl freight, so gradua
ted as to be profitable to oh immediately

works, would be productive of decided
benefit in lessening the prices of food, cloth

every citizen of the Commonwealth,
Nly attention has been culled to tho sub
ject cif insurance, tad so important does it
appear, that 1 deem it worthy of legislative
consider:Men. Many millions of dollars
are now involyed, in the United States, hi
insurance, and the amount Is being rapidly
inereased. Ta; guard the interests of in
surers, our laws mu inadequate, and, there
' fore, need a thorough revision. Laws have
been established in several of our sister
States, triad so successful have been their
operatiobe that the insurance companies
acting under them command a respect and
confidence which is not extended to those
of Pennsylvania. Whilsta large portion of
the lUSUI.IIIIUO bUSIIIUSS of New York is done
in this State, some of our companies have
recently abolished their agencies in New
York, because, us they say, no one there
will insure in a Pennsylvania company, in
consequerace lit the laxity of-our insurance
laws. The policies of many organizations,
under our present laws, 4re alleged to bu
worthless; and although they are continu
ally flailing, others of stuffier character are
starting into existence. NVlthin a lbw
months live lire insurance companies have
!Idled, one of which had issued policies to
.liver one million of dollars, and Other se
rious detections are of frequent occurrence.
In view of these facts, and the costly ex
perience ,if the people, I would recommend
the establishment of an Inmrance Depart
ment, sniffler to those in New York and
Massachusetts, that shall have supervision
and control over all companies glowed to
transact business within this State. Such
enactment is required for the seeurby of
our eiti - zens. Id dlmUtls of dollars are paid
out by them annually tor insurance—much
of it under such circumstances us to render
it impossible fur a private individual to
know whether the company to which he
pays is, or is nut liable. Careful super
vision, by a superintendent appointed by
and pubiashed reports lit the same,
under mull, would prevent much loss and
fraud.
The security of the companies themselves
require an Insurance Department. The
people demand protection trout ignorance,
fraud and Insolvency. Consulting the in
surance journals, we find that us a general

But in connection with it there must be fees
sufficient to cover all its legitimate expenses
and prevent its becoming a burthen to the
CUllllllollWellitil.
Complaints have been laid before me by
the consumers of gas in our large cities,

them I lay the mutter betote you. It is
stated that they have LIU appeal ur satisfac

of the gas companies. ro what extent these

is no reason why such a state ut things
should continue to exist, while the people,
through their representatives, have an easy

Thu Legislature of a neighboring State
has created the taint:eel Inspector Mims and
gas metres. A bill might be enacted ere
sting a similar position in any city in which
it may be required in this State, and such
arrangements made us would unsure justice
to consumers and producers without being
an expense to the btate.
Accompanying this will be found a

under the act of March 30, IStlfi, relative to
the passage or fish in the Suequehaunti riv

From reports of the Inspectors and direc

out the State Prison system, additional ac

tiy erecting extensions to the present build

willing to select a site until it is determined
by the Legislature whether or not addition
wings or cells will be constructed.
! Unfavorable reports are made respecting
ninny of the county prisons. :Some of them
are alleged to he insecure and otheriVise

of insufficient capacity and so overcrowded
as to endanger the health of the inm a tes;

that crowds together, indiscriminately,
children and others convicted or their first

whose whole lives have been blackened
with crime. •
In ileMrdaneu with an act of Assembly,
approved on the 17th of April last, :\ lessrs.
William 11. Armstrong, of I.yeaming
county, Theodore 11. Nevin, of Alleghany,
Win. M. Watts, of Cumberland, and Alex
ander Henry and N. B. Browne, of Phila
delphia, were appointed commissioners "to
inquire into Ulu Various S3'Slelll4 of prison
discipline its practiced in other States and
countries." These gentlemen entered upon
their duties and have visited various pris
ons, 01112 of their number having gone to
Europe for that purpose. The tier, however,
requiring them to report at this session of
the Legislature does not allow them suffi
cient Lune to du justieu to the subject, and
they ask - an amendment extenoing the
time for their report until the session of
Among the nocompanying papers will be
ound :t report by fir. Mahlon 11. Dicken
son, who was appointed inconformity with
an net of the last Legislature, " to visit, tar
ithilanthrripic purposes, she prisons and
ulnIN-110USeS in the various cOnntio. of the
Commonwealth." 'rho report will be found
interesting in all its details, and the writer's
suggestions deserving of especial atitintion.
A report is herewith submitted of the
parlous, remissions of lines, forheted re
cognigances and death warrants, issued by
me during the past year, with a tabular
statement or those issued from 1791 to the
present time. This report is made in ac
cordance with a sense of dote to the Legis
lature end the public who have a right to
be informed in what manner and to what
extent the Executive clemency has been
employed toward convicted criminals, It
is also due to the Executive himself that
his action in this regard'Hlteldd be under
stood. On no subject has there been greater
misrepresentation Man on that which re
lutes to the exercise of tale pardoning
power. Accusations have repeatedly been
published of its abuse, and cases have
been cited In proof thereof, which
were never even presented to my
notice. Criminals wore liberated from pri
son alter sentence, and clamors raised in
relation to their pardon in cases in which
no appeal fur clemency had ever been
made. Upon investigation, it has been as
certained that at CUSLOnt prevails in the
court of quarter sessions of Philadelphia,
to re-consider, remit and change sentences,
weeks and mouths alter their delivery, and
in this, much of the misrepresentation has
originated. During the last year, as many
convicts were thus liberated from the Moy
spiel/sing jail us were pardoned by me from
all the prisons in the Commonwealth. Be
sides which a number more have had their
terms of sentence reduced. llow, or when,
or under what authority, this custom orig
. Mated, It is impossible to learn; but that It
is liable to ahuse , and Is without the sanc
tion of law, seems evident. Thu sentence
of a convict is a matter ofgrave Importance
and should receive most serious considera•
Min before it Is determined upon end de
livered; for when it has become a matter
of record, the criminal passes beyond the
jurisdiction of the court, and there is no
legal Or constitutional remedy, even fur er•
rors that may be committed, except through
appeal to the Executive. If a judge can
remit or shorten a sentence, he can Increase
it, and that is a power dangerous to allow
any one to wield. And further, If it be law
ful for the judge of one court to remit sen
tences at pleasure, it lullows that judges of
all other courts should be invested with the
came prerogative ; and it requires no argu
i mend to show to what as dangerous extent
•it might be used. Happily, the custom ap
pears to be confined to the court named, as
judges in other counties disclaim env such
authority.
Former Legislatures have had their at
tention called to the fact that persons are
now confined in our county prisons under
sentence of death, some of them for many
years, whose death warrants were never
issued, and towards whom the several Gov
ernors, during whose term they were sen
tenced, could nut discover sufficient cause
for the exercise of the pardoning power.
The custom has been for each Governor to
decline issuing a death•warrant which has
been withhold by his predecessor. Hence,
these convicts,- sentenced to death, for
whose execution the previous Governors
did not issue warrants, and whom, it is
presumed they believed deserved a milder
punishment, must either be pardoned or
remain prisoners for life. To rOmeily this
the Governor should be vested with
authority to commute the death penalty in
the cases only to which allusion has been
made, to such a term of imprisonment as
his judgement would approve, and to re
-1110Yr:dile convicts tram county jails to the
penitentiaries.
=I
A brief reference to the condition of the
country will be proper, and will doubtless
be expected by all who were earnest in
their desires and cooperation for the sup
pression of UM' rebellion, and who are now
equally in earnest in their wishes and en
deavors to secure an early, final and per
manent settlement of our national difficul
ties upon the basis of loyalty and patriotism.
Contrary to the hopes of the great masses
of our people, that portion of the country
which was lately in rebellion has not yet at
tained complete tranquility. And this
seems to have been inevitable; for all his
tory teaches us that a people who engage in
the perpetration of high crimes cannot en
tirely or immediately escape their conse
quences. Nor, perhaps, is it desirable that
teey should. However this may be, it is
certain thatperfect repose cannot bo secured
until the insurrectionary States shall resume
their original practical i elation to the Uen
era, I tovernment.
Huts, when and through whom this can be
best done, is the great question of the pros
: eat.
That the views and conceptions of a single
individual, however high he may be acci
dentlyiand temporarily exulted, should be
allowed to control or determine thisquestioni
cannot for a moment be conceded. TiZ
Constitution provides that the U oiled States
shall guarantee to every State in the Union
a republican form of government; and,
where the will of the people is the acknowl
edged law of the land, it requires an extra
ordinary amount of political elfroutry to
assume that a Chief Executive of the na
tion, to any degree or under any circum
stances, is the United States.
And yet in effect or substance, if not in
plain terms, thls was assumed shortly alter
the surrender or Lee and his armed threes,
by the President; and he has continued to
act on this assumption, even in his lute an
nual message, in which, while claiming, ih
words unknown to our forefathers and our
institutions, to be the " elected defender " of
the people, he arrogantly calls on Congress
to "linmediateLy strike from the statute
books " its reconstruction laws.
That Congress "will surrender its plan
of reconstruction" to this manifestly de
spotic demand, cannot be even imagined or
conjectured. That plan, carefully matured
as it was, and fully approved when it was
a direct issue before the people, is eminent
, ly just, wise and patriotic. It insists that
' men who were loyal in acts during the re
bellion, or loyal in their feelings, should
alone participate in the immediate govern
ment of the "insurrectionary districts."
Going beyond the mere surface, it rests
ultimately on the important doctrine, that
the destinies of the nation can only be safe
" in the hands of its friends ;" of those whose
political and moral natures remain suffici
ently pure to feel the impulses of patriotism
and the obligations of oaths.
That policy which antagonizes the Con
gressional plan, which has obstructed, and
persistently endeavored to defeat It, first
ignores all these important considerations.
Having done this, it consistently maintains
that those who devised the most infamous
measures of war, and for years relentlessly
perpetrated, In aid. of their pftrposes, theft,
'

nation—the very leaders or the rebellion--
should be allowed, after their involuntary

A STORMY NER• YEAR.—The old year
went out in storm and clouds and dark
ness. The wild wind shook our casements
and the hail rattled against our window
panes with &roe and unrelenting fury. As
we listened to the raging of the storm, we
thought of the quaint prophecy of the old
English poet :
"If New Year's Eve night wind blow south
It betokeneth warmth and growth;
If vest. much mitt: and fish to the u , st ;
If north, much cold and storm there'll be;
If cast, the trees will bear much bruit;
If northeast, shun it, man and brute."
We are not much of a believer iu predic
tions however, and though the New Year
was borne in on the wings of a snow storm
from the North East, we presume wo shell
have seed time and harvest, summer and
winter pretty much as usual.
ACCIDENT.—The many Friends and ac
quaintances of Christopher Eager. F.sq.,
the well known President of the Farmers
National Bank, of this city, will regret to
learn that be met with an accident this

ORDINATION AND CONFIRMATION.—The
Commemoration of the Festival of the
Epiphany was observed yesterday (Mon
day) at the St. James Episcopal Church in
this city with very solemn and impressive
religious; exercises. In the morning the
rite of ordination to the Priesthood was
conferred on the Rev, E. A. Wariner, late
Principal of the Yeates Institute, by the
Right Reverend Wm. Bacon Stevens,l3ish
op of this Diocese. In the evening the rite
of confirmation was administered to about
twenty persons in the presence of a very
lar&congregation. Bishop Stevens deliv
ered a deeply impressive exhortation to the
candidates, as well as to the congregation
present, previous to administering that
most solemn rite. The Bishop was assist
ed by Rev. J. I. Mombert, D. D. Rev. T.
B. Barker and . two visiting clergymen were
present.
HARTUSBURG VS. LANCASTER.—TWO in
dividuals in a Harrisburg saloon were dis
cussing the relative merits of Lancaster
and Harrisburg lager the other day over
mugs of that beverage. The war of words
continued without either being convinced
that he was wrong in opinion. Finally
they came to blows and the champion of
Harrisburg beer floored his opponent. We
are sure he could never have convinced
him or any one else by fair argument, and
the proof of the superiority of Lancaster
lager is abundantly testified by the fart
that Franke and others of our brewers have
a very large sale for their beer in Harris
burg. The saloons where it is sold are
sought out by all who are good judges of
the article, and do the largest buss ums.
A LITTLE lltsr.-11 beitt; dull this year,
a St. Louis firm commenced advertising as

over one million of dollars—larger than
they ever transacted before. Let our busi
ness men take the hint.

THE WARWICK Cnvitctr
During Thursday and Friday there was ar
bitrated in the Court House the suit lit
trespass brought by certain members of the
- Warwick Lutheran Church at Brickersville,
in Elizabeth township, against other mem
bers of the saute church Mr breaking open
the doors of the church after the first party
aforesaid had locked them. Both days were
occupied iu hearing the testimony, after
which the argument of the case was ad
journed to Thursday evening, January h.
Both parties claim to be the legal custodi
ans of the church; the difficulty arising
from a dispute as to the legal result of the
church election held for the year 1667. The
friends of Rev. Mr. Earple, the pastor of
the church, who are the parties sued, did
not carry a majority of the votes at the elec
tion, but they claim that some 17 persons
voted who had no right to vote, some not
being Lutherans, and none having paid any
contribution in 18136 towards the support of
the church. Messrs. M. J. Weaver, John
Skiles and Luther Richards were the
arbitrators; the plaintiffs being represented
by Messrs. Livingston and Amweg, and
the defendants by Mr. Mester.

CHRISTMAS GREEN.—Concerning how
long Christmas greens should be allowed
to remain up, we quote the following; which
we find among a lot of ancient supersti

Candlemas day (the Purification, February
2,) there will be death that year in the family
occupying the pew where a leaf or berry is
left." The above, we believe, applies also
to private houses.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 7.—A special de
spatch to the Evening Telegraph says :
HARRISBURG, Jan. 7.—There is much ex
citement in the Legislative circles. The
House meets at noon, and hay a Republican
majority °l b' members, but in consequence
of the refusal of fl of the Republican mem
bers to enter the caucus, the majority is
powerless to elect the officers nominated
last evening.
These officers were Davis, ofPhiladelphia,
for Speaker; Selfridge, of Northampton,
for Chief Clerk, and Lee, of Philadelphia,
for Assistant. The nine dissenting Repub
limns declare that their opposition is based
on principle, that they are advocates of a
free railroad law, and cannot vote for Davis,
whom they regard as an enemy of that
measure.
Tey express at this hour, (10 o'clock) a
determination to maintain their opposition
to the last. The result will be in that case,
that the organization of the House will be
retarded, end the first vote for Speaker may
be 45 for Davis, 46 for Jones, (Democrat),
and 9 for Mr. McContent, or sotne other in
dependent candidate nominated by the dis
senting 9.
Various reports are afloat that the "bolt."
as it is called, is intended to affect the State
Treasurship, and is designed to operate
against the claims of the Western candi
date 11(r State Treasurer.
At 11 o'clock it was reported that a com
mittee of the disaffected nine had waited
upon Gov. Geary and asked his advice. It
is understood that he advised conciliation.
Between 11 and 12 o'clock the floor
of the Senate and House were tilled
with members, officers and outsiders, dis
cussing the position. Among various ru
mors afloat, was one that Hon. Simon
Cameron was In some way Interested
in the " bolt," and another that the
movement had been Instigated by opposi
tion to a great railway corporation of the
State. The House met at noon, and nearly
three-quarters °fan hour was occupied by
reading, the certificates of election of the
members.

occasioned by the fact that two of the largest
tires that happened during the former t•ear,oc•
carted near the close of tee year, and had not
been settled for at the date of the last report.
