From the demonstration in .favor
of economy and reform, which - was
made at the beginning of the present

that attempts to rob the treasury
would not be successful, but we must
now confebs that our expectations
were not well founded. It is hoped
that Gov.' Gakmr will interpose his
veto. .
It is a source of real gratification
to the people of this county to know
that our members, Messre_WEnn and

So the question was determined in

DesstacEsta..—Two members of the
Pennsylvania House of Representa
tives have disgraced themseves,•
engaging in a personal altercation.
Their names are LINDERMAN of Bucks
county, and NAGLE of Philadelphia.
We trust the body of which they are
members will honor itself by dealing
with those blackguards iu such a
manner as to make an example o
them.
The cause that depends upon brute
force for vindication is neither high
nor honorable. It may be in strict
keeping with Democratic sentiment
to transfer the bludgeon and . fist of
Southern debate to our own halls of
legislation, but there never can be a
feeling which is the product of intel
lig_mce and decency, but what must
revolt at such exhibitions. These
two men have soriously infracted the
highest law of the land, and they
should be made an example of. Sec
tion XVIII. of the State constitution
reads thus: "The Senators and Rep
resentatives shall receive a compen
sation for their services, to be ascer
tained by law and p:dd out of the
treasury of the Commonwealth; they
shall in all cases, except treason, fel
ony, and breach or surety of the
peace, be privileged from arrest du
ring their attendance at the sessions
of their respective Houses, and in go
ing to or returning from the same;
muffi n . any ..preh debate in either
lieu-le they AO not be vve::tioned in
any other place. - This latter clause
has clearly been violated; and by
men, too, who should have spared no
pains to conserve the dignity of the
Senate and keep sacred the Senate
Chomber. When laic-makers refuse
to rocognize and obE7 the laws, when
they introduce the lOgic of the prize
ring into the halls i of jegislation, they
cannot expect to esc'ape the censures
of the better portion of society; nor,
can they.for a moment suppose that
their giavest enactments will be ob
servefrby
.those who - are ever too
ready to copy their own infractions.
ag).. A census of the State of South
Carolina taken in 1869 has just been
made public, frets which it appears
that tha-total population is now 706,-
022—an increase of but 2,314 over
what it was in 1860. There are, as
shown by this census, 5,880 less
White males of all ages now in the
State than there were in 1860, and
11,812 negro males; while an increase
of 9,806 white and p,4eo negro fe
males appears. Of the.thirty districts
into which South Carolina is divided,
nineteen show a decrease and eleven
an increase of population—the in
crease in the Charleston district be
ing 65,089, and almost every one of
the ."up country districts," or those
where the whites were more numer
oui in slave times, exhibited an aver
age decrease of 3,500; showing the
tendency of the negro population to
wards the sea-coast. ' The entire
number of white males 21 and up
ward now in the State is given as 64,- I
1)77; and of negro males 21.- and up
ward 94,428—a negro majority of 30,- 1
351. The number of white Children
between 6 and 16 shows an increase
of 2,971 over the number between
those ages in 1860; the negro like
crease is 1,053.. The population ..of

disappointed in finding, a scattered, sprawling, -
iltparcl, ill lighted town instead. And they
kayo gone away with the feeling that so' great
a country plight to have a different looking
place as Its Metropolitan city. Now thcro are
many things unknown to the public at large, to
4Pbasid in explinstiostot sL thew-things,-sad
which if known !mild materially modify tho
prevailing aepreentory opinions ainnit, Washing
ton. Of course I can state bit " lbw of
these in the limits of a single lAtttr, liftt where
I refer to hats and figures I have =taken' the
pains to obtain them from official mimes. • -
The first thing to be said then, as it r6ason
why Wl4lol4liPst City is not lierteek in 1111 its
appointments is, that it is but seventy years of
ago; whdo , other citia, with which Ufa compar
ed range from two .hundicd to two thousand
years since their fonndation, not three quarters
of a century Lace ressed since the site of the
Federal City was an almost unbroken "wilder-
ness. In the year 1800, on tlei 22d day of No
vember, the s first seesion- ef Congress in the
'noir Capital was begun.- At that time the
'city" &waisted . of an tucornplcte building for
the use of Congress, temporary accomodations
for the Executive officers anti a few straggling
frame buildings. No streets were graded, tho
trees of the primeval forest covered the greater
part of the soil, the streams running through
the so-called city wore as yet the resort of their
original finny denizens, and old citizens aro
now living who cast the fishing line, or shot
wild fowl when* now stand palatial stores and
luxurious dwelling houses.
in the seven decades the population has
grown from nothing to 120,004 people.—Exclu
sive of the Government buildings and property
the assessed value of real estate for the year
1869, was eiglityfive millions of dollars,
.upon
.which the annual tax paiti-by the owners for the
support of the municipal government, the sup.
port of public schools, end the general improve
ment of the City was ono million one hundred
and ninety. thousand dollars.
There are ninety-three Churcleeditlces in the
City, many of them elaborate and costly speci
mens of architecture. There are two large and
well attended Literary Colleges, with full corps
of skilled instructor s, and an aivrage attend
ance.of six hundred students from all parts of
the Union, and the adjacent Islands, and South
American States. There are several good Law
and Medical Schools, and a noble building devo
ted to the study of the Fine Arts—the gift of a
private citizen of large wealth, to the City. In
stitutions for the relief or permanent care of
the unfortunate and destitute are liberally sup-.
phrted by private-contribution. There are five
Orphan Asylums and three hospitals for gener
al and special cases; each of these institutions
have good accommodations and in one case a
magnificent building erected by the liVerality of
the citizens. There are four daily and four
weekly papers issued in the city.
There is an efficient Steam Fire Department,
(paid) consisting of four powerful engiees, be
side the necessary hose carriages, hook & bid
der trucks, &c. The City has built engine hous
es, fur the accommodation of this Department,
and also several fine buildings for the Police
Stations, City Hall, School buildings, etc. Since
the first of July, ISCO, fifteen miles of side-walk,
four miles of sewers, (seven miles. more now in
course of construction) and nearly six hundred
buildings costing 51,500,00 d, have been complet
ed. All - these large expenditures it must be
observed, are made from the taxes levied on
private property, and by private capital without
one dollar of,Government subsidy, or aid. The.
United States hold the title to large tracts of
lend in this City, tint all the Government has
one or expects to do, is to improve its own
property, and it contributes nothing to defray
le current expensea of the city. I know it is
generally supposed that the expense of tho lo
cal administration here is defrayed by Congress,
but such is'not the ease. In point of fact the
Government is generally in debt to the CorPo
rato Authorities, for advances made by them to
carry their improventents along the fronts of
property owed by the United Stated, snzli as
pavements, sewers, ete., necessary to be ex
tended along the Government reservations in
order to perfect the lino arakeep it - unbroken.
The greater cost of pavements, opening and
grading streets, relative to the value of proper
ty here, ought also to be considered when the
temptation to condemn us is preiented. No
other city in the world is laid out on such an
expensive plan. There is not a single street, in
the City which is under eighty feet in width,
from curb to curb, while many-are cu r t hundred
and over. The avenues, named afte the vari
ous States of the Union, aro all from ono hund
red and twenty to one hmulred and sixty feet
in width, exclu-.ice of the sidewalks, and these
arc proportioned to the width of the roadways.
It was the intention of the -fathers of the Re
public; when they laid the foundations of.the
Capital, that it should represent in its magniti
ont proportions, the magnificent Country,
which, with prophetic vision. they foresaw,
would in the future grow up around it.

la - The New York Son pays the
following compliment to . Senator
Scott, of our. State : " Senator Scott,
of Pennsylvania, imported into the
recent debate in the Senate on the
Funding bill something extremely
rare and much wanted in tllat body,
namely, genuine financial ability- and
a thorough knowledge of his subject.
It is refreshing to listenNto a man
who brings to the discussion of the
topic he treats, knowledge and infor
mation which spring from an intimate
acquaintance with it, both practical
and theoretical. It is comforting to
know also that we still have material
in the country out of which to make
first-class finance ministers, if we but
knew where to look for it."
.4.' - Senator.Sumner introduced a
bill in the U. S. Senate, on Monday,
to provide for the resumption of spe
cie payments. It provides for the
gradual substitution of coin as their
legal reserve by the National Banks
at the rate of one per cent, a month ;
directs the resumption of specie pay
ments by the United States Treasury
on the first of January, next; provis
ion being made for that purpose by
the retention of surplus coin, and
purchase of more, if necessary ; re
peals all acts of making anything but
coin a legal tender ; suspends the
further printing of United States notes
and currency, and retires the mutilat
ed currency. -

the well-considered purpose and aim
of a class, not confined-tii the Setith,
to spread this thine over: the , land,
and their efforts are as vigorous to
day to educate the people of this na
tion in that belief as they were 'at
the close of the war. It was not un-.
common to find this same elaskeven
during the rebellion; - Prognosticating
a servile war. It may have been that
the wish was father to the thought,
and, sir, as the recognised represent
ative of my down-trodden people, I
deny the charge and hurl it back in
to the teeth of those 'who make it,
and who, I believe, have - not a true
and conscientious desire to further
the interests of the whole South
Certainly, any one -possessing
knowledge of the _colored population
of my own or any other State need
not be reminded of the noble conduct
'of that people under the most trying
circumstances in the history of the
late war, when they were beyond the
protection of the federal force.
"While the - Confederate army
pressed into its ranks every white
.male capable of bearing arms, the
mothers, wives, daughters and sisters
of the Southern soldiers were left de
fenseless and in the power of the
blacks, upon whom the chains of
very were still riveted; and to bind
those chains the closer was the real
issue for which so, much life and
property was sacrificed. And now,
sir, I ask, how did that race act? Did
they, in those days of Confederate
weakness and impotence, evince the
malignity of which we hear so much?
Granting, for the sake of argument,
that they were ignorant and besot
ted, which I do not believe, yet, with
all their supposed ignorance and sup
posed credulity, they, in their way,
understood as fully as you or I the
awful import of the contest.
"They knew that if the gallant
corps of national soldiers were beat
en back, and their flag trailed in the
dust, that it was the presage of still
heavier bondage. They longed, too,
as their fathers did before them, for
the advent of that epoch over which
was shed the hallowed light of inspi
ration itself. They desired, too, with
their fathers, to welcome the feet of
the strangers shod with the peaceful
preparation of goodinfs. Weary
years of bondage had toM their tale
of sorrow to 'the Court of Heaven. In
the councils of the Great Father of
All they knew the adjudication of
their case, albeit delayed for years,
in which patient suffering had nearly
exhausted itself, would, in the end,
bring them the boon for which they
sighed—God's most blessed gift to
his creatures—the inestimable boon
of liberty. They waited, and they
waited patiently. In the absence of
their masters they protected the vir
tue and chastity of defenseless wom
en.
"Think, sir, for a moment what the
conditiOn of this land would be to
day if the slave population had risen
in servile insurrection against those,
who, month by month, vrere fighting
to perpetuate that institution which
brought them all the evils of whieb
they complained. Where would have
been the security for property, female
chastity, and childhood's innocence.?
The bloody counterpart of'such a sto
ry of cruelty and wrong would have
been paralleled only in those chap
ters of Jewish history as recorded by
Josephus, or in still later atrocities of
that reign of terror which sent the
unfortunate LOuis XVI. and, Mari©
Antoinette to the scaffold. Nay, the
deeds in that drama of cold-blooded
butchery would have out-heroded the
most diabolical acts of Herod -him
self..
"Mr. President, I maintain that the
past record of my race is a true in
dex of the feelings which to-day ani
mate them. They bear toward their
former masters no revengeful feel
ings, no hatred, no animosities. They
aim not to elevate themselves by sac
rificing one single interest of their
white fellow-citizens; they ask but
the rights which are heirs by God's
universal law, and which are the nat
ural outgrowth, the logical sequence,
of the condition in which the legisla
tive enactments of this nation have
placed them: They appeal to you,
and to me, to see that they receive
that protectior-which alone willena
ble them to pursue their daily voca
tions with success, and enjoy the lib
erties of citizenship on the same foot
ing with their white neighbors and
friends.
"And here let me say further that
the people of the North owe to the
colored race a deep obligation, which
it is no easy matter to fulfil. When
the federal armies were thinned by
death and disaster, and sombre
clouds overhung the length and
breadth of the republic, and the very
air was pregnant with the rumors of
foreign interference—in those !dark
days of defeat, whose memories'even
yet haunt us as an ugly dream—from
what source did our nation in its
seeming death throes gain additional
and new-found power ? It was the
sable sons of the South that valiant
ly ruithed to the rescue, and but for
their jntrepidity and ardent daring
many - a northern fire-side would miss
to-day paternal counsel or a broth
er's love. Sir, I repeat the fact, that
- the - colored race saved to the noble
women of New England and the
Middle States the men on whom
they lean to-day for safety and secu
rity. Many of my race, the repre
sentatives of these men on the field
of battle, sleep in the countless
graves of the South. If those quiet.
resting places of our honored 'dead
could speak to-day, what a mighty
voice—like to "the rushing of a
mighty wind'—would come up from
those sepulchral . homes! Could we
resist the eloquent pleadings- of their
appeal? Ali, sir, I think that this
question of immediate and ample
protection for the 'loyal people of
Georgia would lose its legal technic
alities, and we would cease to hesi
tate in our provisions for their in
stant relief."

ve• We quote a notable passage
from a leetnre delivered on the 4th
instant at Washington, Pa., by W. D.
Moore, r. sq,i •
"I am a Democrat, and opposed to
the Fifteenth Amendment, but I de
sire to bear my testimony to the
chartmter of the negro population of
the South. After the passage of the
conscript act they outnumbered the
Whites five to one. • They could have
arisen at any time and utterly anni
thlated the white population, and
there were not wanting evil men to
make the suggestion.. They remained,
however, the same in. obedience, do
cility, faithfulness and order, as before
the war broke out. There is nothing I
like it in all the pages of history, and
I never knew or heard of a race who
seemed in my judgement, to live so
near to the Divine teaching as the
negroes of the South durbig the re
bellion. Their conduct was epitomiz
ed iii a single remark made to me by
a very aged one among them. We'se
like the children of Israel at the Red
Sea ; all we has to do is to stand still
and see the salvation of the Lord ;'
At all times and under all the cir
cumstances I will bear testimony to
the unequalled behavior of the South
ern negroes during the war."
Its4r: Congress is doing an admira
ble work in curtailing expenses, and
in lopping off old abuses. In acting
on the . 'army bill, :last Week, some
most healthy work was done in re
ducing the army and in cutting down
the pay of officers. Some of the army
officers have been getting very large
pay. The salary of the GeSeral of
the army has been $18,780 ; Lieuten
ant General, $14,803 ; Major General,
s9,B62—which is in large excess of
the salaries attached
,to civil officers
requiring at least equal ability and
training. Congress cut off over $6,000
off the General's pay ; nearly $3,000
off the Lieutenant General's ; over
$1,500 off the Major General's, &c.
The redctions made will save the
treasury $3,000,000 annually.
us. The President has issued his
proclamation ratifying the XlVth and
XVtli Amendments to the Constitu
tion, and they are now a part of the
laws of the-country.
Heretofore in this country all mat
ters pertaining to citizenship have
been narrowly decided. Principles
have been laid down which did not
for a moment accord with practice.
Judges did not dare to touch the real
question, because by so doing cus
toms would have been uprooted and
the institution of slavery interfered
with. The trammels are now bro.;
ken, and we may inquire with free
dom as to what citizenship, is. and
freely annormenwho our citizens are.
The following bill has been
passed by the Legislature:
That whensoever any husband,
from drunkenness, profligacy, or oth
er cause whatsoever, shall for two
successive years desert his wife Or
neglect or refuse to live with her and-1
provide for her, she shall, as to every
species and description of property,
whether rent, personal or mired,
owned by or belonging to her, have
all the rights and privileges of a fem
me sole, to purchase or sell and con
vey the same, as if she were sole and
unmarried. •
SECTION 2. That it ahall be lawful
for any married woman as aforesaid,
to sue and be sued in her own name
upon all such contracts as aforesaid,
heretofore made or to be made, and
to sue in her own name her husband,
to recover the possession of her real
estate, or the possession of her per
sonal estate, or the value thereof, as
if she were sole and unmarried.
tld.ln 1868 Seymour beat Grant
in Kentucky by a majority of 76,323.
But in 1869 the Democratic. majority
was only about 57,000. Now, that
42,000 negro voters are to be added
to those 'exercising the franchise . in
dud State by the operation of the
Fifteenth Amendment, tho majority
for Democracy will bo very small.
There will not, therefore, be ti strong
ly Democratic State in the Union, for
the negroes *ill give Maryland to the
Republicans by a rousing majority.
