THE. PUBLIC PRINTING Report:of the Select Committee Mr. Backelew, from a special committee made the following report: The select committee to whom was refer 'red Senate bill .No. 314, In relation to the public printing of the Commonwealth, make report,. That pursuant to the authority conferred upon them, they have examined witnesses and obtained records and papers to assist them in their investigation, and to enable them to make an intelligent report to the Senate'. " By a statement obtained from the office of the Auditor-General, it appears that the cost of the public printing, binding, for the several years since the passage of the printing act of 1856 has been as follows: Amount paid for public printing and bind ing-- For year ending June 30, 1057. 105.0.

V Itia •• ISGO Will•• These ulliciul statements show a very large increase in expenses for printing, binding, and paper since the passage of the printing art of 1556, and particularly since the year 1003. No doubt a large part of the increase is accounted for by the war, and by the general increase of rates of price in the country. Itut it is manifest that the total or expenses /dime ISOlt is much greater than it would have been under econmiiic,al management. The Contllnitef. are of opinion that the act or 15.51 i was judiciously drawn, and that the principle Upon which it proceeds is a mr rect and proper one. But in the course of Mule abuses have grown up for which the 1(1 provides no eire,tual check or remedy. A part of the work executed by the public printer is done outside of the law, and is charged for al rates for which there would seem to he 110 It Xect or certain standard ; and in view or the evident profits to lie made upon this outside work, as well as profits to the public printer upon various sales or stationery :nut books for the I 'Mil diollWealtil. the triennial contracts for the public printing hare been taken under the law at, rates which seem absurdly low. Believing that the time has arrived for a careful ii,estigation of this general sub. ject of the pulilie printing and binding, the public printer as settled at the Auditor- I :111101111'S 0111110, for 1.110 II mouths ending \I ay :it, IM7O, with much care have lied the items of charge, and have itscer tinned, as far us they were able, first, what would he the aggregate amount critic items if they W(11-0 charged at the rates fixed by the acts or iKs,ii; next, their amount as ac tually charged under the existing contract with the public, printer; and, lastly. what would 110 their amount if charged for at ruling or market rates. 'link comparative examination can 1111111:U111 exactly as to the piddle printing, which falls within the act of 15513, and reasonable estimates can lie li.rnied its to SlllllllOll Ile is 0111,1110 of the law, and also as to the binding and blanks charged for ill 1.11111“,01111114. As a result of the investigation, the tact is moat clearly established I.llllt a very large amount of money would Ine lost. to the Commonwealth if the work now OXOOlllOil by the public printer was dom. at ruling or market 1'11.1.05. But it is tumidly clear that the existing system in relation to the public printing and binding imperatively deniatillsrelortn. Ily the evidence tal.en hy the committee and herewith reported, it appears that there is no effectual stiperViSitill or examination of 110111000tilib. of the piddle printing by the superintendent of !whiting before they are settled and silloived, although the law contemplates that the superintendent shall give orders for the priming to be 110110, alai Shall carufully exumiuu mil adj ust anti set tle the hills rendered. In p..int of fact, hills have been uniformly settled for years precisely as made tint by the public print er. No items haVll 111,11 !ejected or re duced in amount, l with the single excep tion era. tut., ..Tirged history,; nor has there been tiny proper aseertain ment of their responsibleness itml conMrun ity to a just standard. It Is true thatso fur tours fall within the law of Lill, there is no reason to believe that the accounts have been incorrectly math. out, 1111 r that the ut most vigilance in the Auditor-General's office and by the superintendent of public printing would have reduced the amount which has been lurid by the State. lint the lack of all practical or thorough supervi sion over the charges oititsideof the haw has left then, In be made pretty 111111'11 110001,1- tug Li) the discretion and judgment of the public printer himself, and thus opportuni ty is tuntstantly ollered to him to make in ordinate if not unjust charges against the State. IL appears that the bills tire nut sworn to by any person, and that there is no legal sanction whatever to their correctness, ex eept, a brief endorsement upon them by the superintendent of public printing. As to that officer, while the law requires him to lie In Harrisburg at least three Chive 01 every week, and to exercise clinch it super intendence over the ordering of ',riming mid the atecounts therefor, in fact he re sides elsewhere, and is at the Capital but a smaller portion of his time. And the proof is clear that orders for the printing is not pass through his hands on their way to the printer, that lie does not investigate with thoroughness the accounts rendered, anti that he has never rejecter) or reduced ally oldie items or charge. In justice to that tifliver, however, it must be added that his compensation is insufficient, and that (as the committee are informed) he has de sired tic resign hissituation its incompatible with his private ity the eVidellee the :\ editor leneral It appears that he huts very properly re jected the claim by the public printer to be paid for the publication of what is it nowt its Bates' history, because its publi cation hail not been authorized by sulll eient legal authority, but the paper for that work has been paid for by the State. l'he fifth volume of that work is now being and Idle Chihli Of the publie printer is at the rate of live dollars per vol nine llir the entire work—that is, for 25,0110 volumes or cut edition Of 5,000 Of nitric Vol -111110-111ak lin; a total cost of $125 Vito, from which is to 'be deducted the price or the piper tor the work which has thready been paid for. It is claimed that the State is bound to pay this 'liege shill Under it reSO - [messed by the !louse of Represent tiVes the last ses,ion, But your vont litittee are prepared to deity the existence a this obligation, as founded c‘ti that reso lution. The State can only Ice legally bound by virtue of some act or joint resolution, to which the assent of both Houses has been given. If this work is to be paid for by the State, the committee are of opinion that a smaller amount than that charged by the public printer would afford him adequate compensation, and they refer to the eVi dente, herewith 11110110 i RS fit rn ishi lig soon. grohnils for an intelligent judgment m-to ttilitt the alleillnt shoe ld be. committee will now proceed to a more detailed exposure .f the acisinnts for the eleven wool IN ending May :11, IS7o, as settle-timid allows I at the Auditor-item-is:Ws oldies. And, in the first place, they direct attention LI, those items of the account which were covered by the printing act ot 105 ii. The amount of printing dlltit. Under that act, as shown in tae table appended to this report, is made up of compwation and press-work, amounting in $14,009,01, ac cording to the rates fixed by law. This work i•iimprises plain ;not figured c Miro sitiiin, and press-work measured by the token. The table also shows the amount actually paid by the State for this work under the bills rendered, pursuant to the contract with the public printer, to have been but 5i1,009.21, the contract price being 501 per cont. under the rates of the act of It thus appears that while the act of ISSII 11X0,1 rates WlllOll are now below a fair standard 01 compensation, this work was actually done for less than one-fourth of those rates, or, in other words, for compen sation almost nominal. The market or ruling rates for this work have also been ascertained by the committee and are also shown by the table annexed. Composition plain is fixed at Cl) cents per thousand ems, and rule and figure-work composition at double that rate; while press-work is fix ed at 50 cents per token. These rates, as ascertained by the testimony of tho fore man in the alive of the public printer, and by Mr. Frank M'Laughlin, of the firm of M' Laughlin Brothers, conform to the opi n ions of other competent gentlemen with whom the cotffinittee have conferred, and tnay he taken as sufficiently established. But by these rates it will be seen by the ta ble that the work in question would amount to the sum of 836,067.34, being an excess of over 03,000 above the amount paid to the State printer under the terms of his con tract. it would scent front the testimony that even this large amount, based upon a calculation of ruling rates of work, falls about 34,00 i) below the true amount of dif Terence, But if it be accepted as an accurate exhibit of what the cost of the work would be to the Commonwealth under ruling or market rates, we have a conclusive argu ment against the adoption of general mar ket rates, for if is evident that if the public printing were done tinder those rates its cost to the Common w cal trii would be greatly increased. But this is not all. The cost of the printed blanks furnished, and the folding aud binding performed by the public prin ter, and charged for iii. the accounts for the same'l l months ending alst of May, 1009, is shown to have been, so far as the same fell under the law of 1030, $1,299.29, while the cost of the same, calculated upon the rates fixed by the act of 1856, would be $5396.51. Assuming the rates fixed by the act of Mkt to ho the same as present market rates, the amount saved by the Commonwealth un der the contract upon these Items would be $4,197.22. In short it Is a fair conclusion to be drawn from the facts now shown, that If all the items of charge which fall under the law of 1868 were paid for at ruling or market rates, the additional cost to the Commonwealth, for the 11 month ending Slay 31, 1870, would have been about $40,- 000 over the amount actually paid to the Public printer under his contract. "The items of charge outside of the act of 1856, and charged for by the public prin ter without reference to the rates establish ed by that act, are various, and but few of them are to be 'classed under the head of public printing. For instance, for the 11 months ending the 31st of May, 1870, there were 3,693 copies of Smull's Legislative Hand-Book charged for, 3,141 of which were for the House of Representatives, 500 for the Senate, and 52 for the State Libra rian. The total charge for the copies was $4,791.25—a very considerable item in the accounts for the year. For the previous year ending the 30th of June, 1869, there were 3,200 of the same work charged for at the amount of $4,090—a1l ordered bysthe House of Representatives. Copies of that work, as ordinarily bound, are charged for at the rate of $1.25 per volume, and for the extra lettering or binding of some copies an additional charge is made. The State printer testifies that the paper for this work is furnished by the State, that his charge of $1.25 per volume covers the items of com position, press-work, binding, and delay, and corrections of the text, as well as a royalty to the compiler of about 25 can t • per volume, the latter item amounting to $4OO for the year, including the session of 1670. $21,606.01 20 000.00 21,501.66 2.10.00 10,6'95.07 10,191.12 27,362.06 29 000,00 02,177 04 00,469.02 51 02.1.3. 0.1,709.61 011,9:.11.2:1 :13,J/0.47 Again, the State printer furnishes a large amountof stationery, or paper with printed lithographed headings, and( tinted envel opes, and also' blank books to the two Houses of the Legislature, and the several heads of departments. The amount for the 11 months ending May :11, 1870, for tinted envelopes and note and letter paper, with official headings lithographed, was— Fur the House of Representatives 12,70.150 For the same l'erns to the Serrate .... . 107.10 For the Executive Department (11ev 1 U. 41 15,671.76 17,500.00 Sr.iu 1.4 If I 10 0, . 711.

For hup't Solgll.•rs' Unilmtls' School,. , 7 uil Fortart or l'ubllc 231.:111 Making a total aggregate of The remainder of the charges outside of the act of 1851 i are made up mainly of the binding of special works, as, for instance, the railroad report, and common school re port, of a considerable number of expen sive record and blank books furnished to the Legislature and to heads of depart ments, and of 2,000 copies of parchment patents, lithographed, to the rveyor- General, for which last a charge of was made. It i 4 OV idellt, upon a general inspection of the iussiunts of the public printer, that his items of charge require to Int classified and regulated by law in all eases where they to clot already fall within the prositi i.lll,l nil the act of 1836. The wilne,ses that the iteeoUlltN, SO far :LS the items Olit,ide of the law are concerned, are made up with reference, first, to former rates of i•liarge in bills for printing against the Commonwealth, and 'next, by analogy to rates of work charged against ind i yid uals. The, former may be called the custom iu State printing, and the last a ride or mar ket rate. But, there can be no doubt that manly of these charges are made upon a very high standard, and beyond the rea sonable value of tile work done or artic furnished. And, in fact, it seems necessa ry that accounts should be made lip in this manner, or inn Herne other manner which departs from economy, and that they should be settled without rigid scrutiny into their character fur moderation, hi or der to prevent heavy loss to the public printer Under his contract. For it is evi dent that he cannot perllirm the work which fulls under the law of 1856 for the compensation he receives therellir, and that unless he shall be treated generously Upon the items of his account outside of that law, his engagement with the Common wealth will be injurious and ruinous to Recently, bids for the public printing and binding have been made with rend.- enre not only to the laws which regulate the public printing, but also to the prac tice which has grown up under those laws, and particularly under the act of 1,41, which authorizes heads of departinents and the chief clerks of the two houses of the Legislature, to make requisitions for work and supplies. Bidders are invited to make proposals under the art of lOod, and its 'several supplements, anal naturally lake into acrount the pnwiice which has prevailed in the manner of executing work and making out arcounts therefor. if this system is to be reformed, it must be by the interposition of the Legislature. The Aud itor General's department is not well fitted to investigate questions of price and value in the accounts rendered by the public printer, and the device of asuperintendent of public' printing, [(closure supervision of the work done, and an examination of the accounts rendered, has to a great extent failed. That olticer was voted last year a compensation of only $5OO, and his ordi nary salary as lined by law is only SSOO. The State cannot secure a erne peteli I. officer, who shall reside at the scat of government, and attend faithfully to ill his official du ties I'm' that sum. " A few words upon tine several plans of change, which have been proposed with reference to the public printing and bind ing, will fitly conclude this report. The proposition to let nut the printing at Mar ket or ruling rates, to be ascertained and fixed inn the settlements of the accounts of the public printer by the Auditor-General, the committee must strongly condemn. It would inevitably produce an enormous in crease of the annual outlay by the ('om monwealth, as heretofore shown. The abolition of the office of superintendent of public printing would deprive the State of valuable securities against imposition, which, tinder a well-regulated system, should he carefully provided, not only in regard to the public printing, but in regard to the purchase of the paper upon which the work is to be performed. The remain ing propositions which have been made to bring all the work done wind articles fur nished by the State printer innder the reg ulation of law as to price, the repeal of the act of 1864, which allows orders to be given t without adequate check) on behalf of the Legislature and by heads of departments., and a more accurate definition of the duty of the superintendent of public printing, with an increase of h is salary, are approved by the committee, and in their opinion should be comprised in a new statute now to be enacted ; and in the opinion of the committee It will be wise to provide that no books or expensive publications shall be ordered by a separate resolution of either House, hut only by joint resolution or by statute. "The cUmmittee have therefore prepared and herewith report a bill covering these objects of reform, the passage of which they recommend to the Senate. It. Duel; ALEW, licscAN, J. S.

The rea son assigned is the attempt of the Demo cratic majority to pass a bill redistricting the State in violation of the Constitution, which provides that the State shall not be redistricted oftener than every six years. The last redistricting was four years ago. Lieutenant Governor Cumback express es the opinion that it takes two-thirds of all the meinbars of each House to constitute a quorum, and will not recognize anything the remaining members do. The Speaker of the House also gave the same opinion this morning, after receiving the Governor's message announcing the resignation of the Republican members of the House. TUF.SDAY, Feb. 21 Some of the Democratic members differ with the Speaker and advocate continuing legislation. The appropriation bills, tax bills, and most of the necessary legislation was disposed of beforo the Republican members of the House resigned. There is quite a commotion in political circles to day, and a lively time is anticipated to morrow. The constitutional limit of the session expires on the 6th of March. There is not time to elect members to till the places of those who have resigned.

Jonas Beets vs. The Pennsylvania Rail road Company—an action to recover dama ges for inj rules sustained by being knocked down by one of defendant's cars while crossing a private siding at Marietta. After hearing plaintiff's testimony, a nos !Mit was ordered on the ground that no negli gence had been proven on the part of de fendant, while the plaintiff had been care less of his own personal safety. Philip A. Berger vs. The Farmers' Mu tual Insurance Company of Lauca.ster County—to recover the amount of art in surance policy on a building located in Millersville, which was destroyed by lire. The company resisted payment on the ground that theproperty had been bought by plaintiff, and that the policy had been transferred to him without the knowledge or consent of the company; and that the charter of the company distinctly sets forth that when a property is sold, the insurance on it dies. The court directed the jury to return a verdict for defendant, which was done. =EI Dr. Samuel R. Sample vs. James Mc- Cauley. Suit for recovery of money on note drawn by Newton Sample and en dorsed by both plaintiff and defendant. The drawer or the note paid $5OO on it, and Dr. Sample $l,OOO.

Not being compelled to depend upon his practice for support he paid much attention to politics and was elected to the Legislature in 1631 and 1832 Ho made little tigure in debate, but_ exert ed considerable influence in his party.— When Joseph Rimer was elected Gov ernor, in 1835, Mr. Burrowes was appointed Secretary of the Common wealth, and in that capacity he first became • tonnected with the educational interests of the State. lie drafted the revised school law, which was passed in 13.36, accompany. ing it by a carefully prepared report which was laid before the Legislature with the new bill.

Tlic S. r FE lIARBOR TREASI•RE-SnEKEns AT Wonli AGAIN.—The gang of Safe Her (sir treasure-seekers is again at work.— White their previous exploits were per formed in the most secret manner possible, and under the cover of darkness, this jtime they are working publicly and in day time, as well as at night. As soon as we learned that they were again at work in this neigh borhooti, and that they did not try to con ceal their actions as they hafl previously done, we concluded to visit the scene or their operations, for our own satisfaction, on the first day that our business would permit, and report for the benefit of the readers of the INTELLIOENCER, but before we could do so we were inlormed that the owners of the properties on which their operations are carried rm had put up public notices, fort aiding all persons trespassing on their properties, and especially on that part where the treasure-seekers are en gaged. As we were informed that no per mits were given to go on the grounds we concluded not to tramp through four miles of mud on a wild goose-chase.— The following particulars are as nearly correct as they can be given after the most diligent inquiries. On Monday last, three persons from Columbia, a man and two women, arrived in the village of Martin ville, and immediately proceeded to begin operations. The man who is nearly sixty years of age, and a 11111"4011 by trade, but at present, we believe, engaged in some of the Iron Works at Columbia, is a native, and was for many Years a resident of Con estoga Centre anti later of Safe Harbor, from Whence he removed to Columbia, where he resides at present. He has for a number of years been connected with the mysterious Safe Harbor treasure-seekers, and since the death ;if their leader, a few years ago, has probably been the leading spirit among them. Of the previous career of the women we can not speak with cer tainty, but they are probably the same par ties who anted in the same capacity for the deceased leader of these treasure-seekers, when living. Mention has been made of them in an article previously published.— They have been described to us—the one as a German woman, well advanced in years, the other as a young woman, probably a girl. They pretend to be able to see hidden treasures by looking into a glass. Cil a certain part of the farm of Mr. Eli Eshleman, near to, or On the line of Mr. II fiber's farm, in Martin township, adjoin ing the village ;if Martinville, is the spot pointed out by these women as the place where a subterranean cavern is located, in which is hidden an immense amount of silver coin, amounting to about four mil lions of dollars (54,n00,0001. We have not heard that they attempted to explain where this immense amount or silver—weighing about 125 tons—name from, or how, or by whom pia into this subterranean cavern, without any visible opening or mouth, still these treasure-seekers and Mr. Eshleman the owner of the farm, seem to have implic it confidence in their statements. Two men living in the neighborhood, have been en gaged to assist in the digging, each of whom is to have a r;,,11 ror his - — ices, Ille,•,1 (hi t ,„,„, i ' s „,,, ~ ,,e il.

They change about, one flaying charge during the day, I L the other during, th% night, and not ti r a moment are both absent at the same ti e. The place is so near to the line of Mr. Jos h Huber's farm, that it is necessary to ex cavate on his property also, to which he has given his consent, although he is not as credulous as Mr. Eshelman, being rather doubtful of success. Mr. Eshelman boards the party, and the women also engage in telling the fortunes of all who desire to be accommodated in that line. great excitement prevails in the neigh borhood, and many persons went to view the scene of operations, but that has ceased as the owners of the land have put up no tices that all persons who enter upon the grounds w.ll be prosecuted for tresspass- Mg. A week of unceasing labor has been spent, but the treasure has not been reach ed. The women say that over 5410 spirits— or little deribt as the young woman terms them—guard the treasure, and she says she would not like to be present when the money is reached. As we have detailed these proceedings as fully as necessary, we submit them to the readers of the INTELLIGENCER without a word of comment, leaving them to form their own opinions on the subject, only vouching for the truth of our statements— incredible as they seem—and promising to report farther developments, and the re sult of the final termination of the affair. We could give the names of all parties con cerned—except of the women—but refrain from doing so at present, but may here after, if they persist in their folly. U. S. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.-AMOS S. Shuman residing on the Blue Rock road near Mann's tavern, in Manor township, was severely Injured lent week, while attempting to bridle a young horse, by being crushed be tween. the horse and the stable wall. His shoulder bone and several ribs were broken. TEMPERANCE LECTURE•—CIeo. F. Baker, Esq., will lecture on Temperance In the Coleraine Baptist Church, on Saturday, March 14th, as previously announced. A. TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF EON. Isaac E. HIESTER.—The following tribute to the memory of Hon. Isaac E. Hiester aopears in the last issue of The People's Journal, which is edited by James P. Boyd, Esq., who studied law with the deceased : The death of this prominent member of the Lancaster Bar spread a gloom over the community in which he lived, and Eastern Pennsylvania as well. When we say that he stood at the head of his profession, had served a term in Congress, had attaii.ed great wealth as a banker, was an exempla ry man and died universally regretted, we have but borne such testimony to his worth as is due from one who enjoyed his tuition for two y e ars, and his friendship ever afterward. Yet this testimony is all too limited. It touches only the greatness that shine+, the worth that glitters, the data by which the world is apt to judge of human character. Isaac E. Hiester was greater than the law yer, the legislator, the banker, or the citi zen. Greater than the lawyer, because he chose to ornament his profession, and did not ride upon it to eminence. It was not with him a vehicle to fame, but a science to sound whose depths required elaborate study, to scale whose heights requires the exerCise of every manly attribute. Greater than the legislator, because Le sought not office, yet avoided not the de mands of a con tiding constituency upon his time and talent. He appreciated the trusteeship from the hands of the public, and went about his performance as one who had given the priceless security of an upright intention. Greater than the banker, because his honesty was not in the market with his gold, and knew not the fluctuations of his stocks. It was his one permanent invest ment ; all else was tributary to it. Greater than the citizen, bemuse he reeked not those means of ingratiation common to smaller minds. He was studi ous of amenities by reason of an unselfish nature; observant or the laws of kindness, because it was good to be so; careful of his own and the character of others, because the philosophy of reciprocal brotherhood so decreed it. Was he then perfect? We would not mar our tribute by an affirmative answer. But if it is given to man to atone to humanity for the imperfections of his nature by the persevering exercise of useful. elevating and refining qualities; then he was an ex emplar of no common mould. Of him it may be truly said that, "L'en hls.tallings leaned to virtue's side.- Considering the timeliness of his prepara tion for the change that hath bereft us, and the still stealing of the grave's slumbers o'er him,his mute lips might have syllabled the song, death, where Is the at ing 0 grave, where is thy V let..ry A M FICENT GlFT.—Prof. E. D. Stun I). li., for many years President of the Courtland Saunders College of West Philadelphia, an institution organized by himself in honor of his son Captain Court land Saunders, who lost his life at the bat tle of Antietam, has conveyed the college and college grounds, valued at not less than $150,000, to the Presbyterian Alliance of Philadelphia, to be used by said Alliance as a hospital, from which none shall be excluded by reason of creed, country or color. Professor Saunders also engazes to use all diligence to raise the sum of $75,000, without any salary or any deductions from the sum collected, except simple traveling expenses and other necessary outlays in prwiecuting the work. The property tints proposed to be conveyed extends north west front Filbert street to Powelton ave nue, and east and west from Thirty-ninth street to Istoudinot street, embracing this entire square of ground, situated on a spot unsurpassed for health and all the necessi ties and conveniences which are required in an edifice of this kind. The buildings are eminently adapted for a hospital. The only remuneration Prof. Saunders asks for this munificent donation is an an nuity of $4,000 to be secured to him during the joint lives of himself and wife. In the event of her surviving him, this annuity to be reduced to $3,000; in the event of his surviving her, the annuity to be reduced to $5,000. They and their survivor to have also the free use and occupation during life of the dwelling-house and the lot of ground attached thereto, situated on the property. It need hardly be said that the Alliance ac ceded with ardor to Sir. Saunders' terms, feeling themselves under many obligations for so generous a gift. Br. Robert M. r yin, formerly of Strasburg, this county, and Prof. Saunders' family physician was the originator of the plan adopted, and with amazing dispatch, on the part of all interested, the hospital is now established, even in the adoption of a charter and the selection of incorporators and trustees. .14mons.—Names of 24 Grand Jurors to serve in the Court of Quarter Sessions, commencing on the third Monday of April next, drawn Feb. 22, 1871: Henry Arndt,Manheim borough ; T.
