Tin Attorney General, at the iustatiee of one of the judges of the Court ol Com mon Pleas issued a writ of ipi'i war ranto against Mr. Taggart to show euiisc why lie exercised and by w hat right he held the office of Controllor. Upon the argument of the case the court eat red judgment of ouster against Mr. Taggart. A writ of error was immediately taken to the Supreme Court of the S'ate. The caso was ably and elaborately urgued one day last week, and the judgment hv the lower court ali'r ned. The laei that the position of the Governor ha- been sus tained by the courts is a matter of congratulation.

We know nothing, comparatively, of the merits of either hill, or the necessity of legislating on the subject at all, but the mover of the bill before the House, and Mr. Gowen seems to lie in pretty close accord, as the former at one expressed satisfac tion and intimated a determination to adopt the substitute.

CONDREMSMAN II K1.T7.1100V ER, of this stale is after Gen. Ha/.en, chief of the Signal Bureau at Washington. His charges arc so pointed and damag ing as to demand investigation. He claim* that Hazen who is an officer of the army is extravagant, corrupt and guilty of conduct unbecoming an offi cer, and demands investigation. The general, it appears, docs not fancy lo he tried hy court martial, and appealed to the Secretary of War, to ask a t*pu miltec of-Senators to investigate tW charges, which the -Secretary declined to do. liKLLKTONTi:, PA., THURSDAY, FKIiRIW KY 22, ISKJ.

H. A eteh holding the bill of the Tariff Commission in his Omtrnitleo for eight weeks, .Judge Kelley last week cx , pressed the belief that it was a physi cal impossibility to pa** a tariff bill at this session. Was then not some good motive in the tardy movements of the judge leading up to this result ? It is said that at no time could the high tariir protectionists, "depend ufs.n their men 1 and were better satisfied with the tariff'as it is, than any change* suggested by the Commission. MICHIGAN is still struggling with the | Senatorial question. No electiou has yet been effected and the indication* are gaining strength every day that a i new deal must be made, and that Ferry is hopelessly doomed to defeat. When the defeat of Ferry is accomplished, the signs are that the "harmonious party" are not much better off than when they commenced the struggle many weeks ago, as it will then be Ferry's time to kick. ; IT seems to be generally believed that William E. Chandler, the Secre tary of the Navy is to succeed Mar shall Jewell as Chairman of the Re publican National Committee. Well, what liill Chandler does not know of "ways that are dark and tricks that are vain no one needs to know. He will not at least need Hubbell or even Cameron, or any other b<*s instructor* 1 iu moving the most elaborate political machinery in the IC publicati service- FOUR or five days only remain of ; the existence of the present Congress, and then craes the inquiry "what I has it done to relieve the burdens of • '.he people of the inexcusable war j taxes which ha- le-cti uuueceasarily re , mined to oppress them T" The Re publicans had to face this abuse of power at the la-t election after the first ae*ion, mud the result was not inspiring to the party. It is not diffi cult to predict that the continued | oppression will have a telling influence j on the result of the irn|>ortanl election to come off next year when they a-k for a new lease of power. The peo ple will endure much, but they will not submit to be robbed rear after year and not turn upon the robbers in resentrueut. Fx. GOVERNOR, EDWIN I). Mor. <;VN, died nt hi* residence in New York on Thur day lat, after a pro tracted illness aged 72 years. He was elected Governor of New York in Ire-elected iu l*bO; and served in the Senate of the railed .States for the term ending in 1A69. Gov. Morgan was appointed bv President Arthur Secretary of the Treasury, and un confirmed hv the Senate, but deciioed the office on account of advanced ago. He leave* a widow and an e-late c-ti raateil at 812 000.000, but no children —his only aon Dr. Edwin ('. Morgan, having died jn ISBI. He had many personal acquaintances iq this county, and at one time held a large into est in the Philip's estate in Philipshurg and Hush township. THE saving of 811.400 to the State by the dismissal of a large number of unnecessary employes is not an incon id> rable item, and will be counted as a very creditable reform to Speaker 1-uunce and Chief Clerk Meek and the small, but efficieut, corps of assistants. Tbe session of the legislature at best is au expensive necessity, hut under Re publican supremacy it had simply be come an enormous fraud, made so largely by a system of providing sine cures for impecunious party worker*, who rendered little or no service to the state. While the House and its officers have thus done well in recog niziug the reform spirit abroad, the Senate fail to respond to 11 • demand and continue to stand; by their sine cures and their INjlaney'i with unabat ed sternness. The dou't care* for the people air now assumed, thty may want to modify and explain hereafter.
