The suggestion of Judge ISlEncua's
name in connection with the Supreme
Judgeship, meets with a hearty re
sponse all through the Northern tier.
His peculiar fitness for the place is
acknowledged by his bitterest politi
cal enemies, and ! if the Convention
honors itself by conferring upon him
the nomination,- he will ; receive the
largest vote ever bestowed upon any
candidate in this district:
The new act for the re-organization,
regulating and - discipline of the Na
tional Guard of Pennsylvania, and
for the enrollment•of the Militia, has
some excellent provisions. The num
ber of troops is restricted to twenty
thousand and the,riumber of Major
Generals to seven.
Provisions is made for the raising
the requisite funds for the support of
the National Guard. Each county
in the State is compelled to give a
yearly report of the num4r, of citi
zens between tne ages of twenty-one
and forty-five, the rule of exemptions
being clearly defined, and upon this
report tax for military purposes is ley
ied,collected and paid into the treas
ury of the State.
TUE SVPREALE BENCH.
THE NEW EII4IT/A, BILL.
The duties and rates of remunera
tion•are set forth, as in case of inva
sion, or insurrection, non-commis
sioned officers $1,25 per day, musi
cians and privates $1,00,-commission
ed officers same pay and allowances
as U. S. Army, mounted officers and
members of any troop of cavalry or
battery of artillery, mounted and
equipped,s2.oo per day for each horse
actually used by them. No parade of
troops of the National Guard is per_
mitted upon days of special or gen
eral election except in case of riot,
invasion or insurrection, or , immi
nent danger thereof, under five hun
dred dollars penalty to the officer or
dering the .parade or rendezvous of
such troops.
The restricting of the troops to the
number of twenty thousand is a ju
dicious measure, and we trust to see
this nttmber levied equally over the
different counties of the State, so
that incase of the calling out of the
troops no one section shall be too
much depleted. The whole of the
16th regiment, National guard, ten
companies, has been raised in Nor
ristown and Conshohocken, and in
the event of being called out both
these localities would be deprived of
a most valuable portion of their work
ing population, whilst other locali
ties, fully as populous, would not be
called upon to furnish a single sol
dier.
Every county in the State should
furnish its quota of the Guard ac
cording to the amount of its popula
tion.
NS. A capital point was made up
on the Connecticut Democracy by
the Rochester Democrat. It appears
among the resolutions which they
stole from the Gratz Brown Repub
licans of Missouri was one declaring
that they " Regard i emancip4ion,
equality of civil rights, and enrran
ehisement, as established facts now
embodied in the Constitution. " This
was taken almost word for word, as
far ail it went, from the• Missouri
platform. But there , was a striking
atnirsion. The Miss'ouri men " Re

was too much for the Connecticut
gentlemen. They could not, for
obivious reasons, refen- to that record
in " the dark days of the civil war. "
They would draw a viil over the past,
but the people are net disposed to
consent.
SS. A good pomtl'was made on
the free traders when; Judge Mercur;
of Pennsylvania, recently offered his
resolution repealing the duties on
tea and coffee. The resolution which
was ridiculed by the absurd opposi

1 CONTEST.
WO are slowly approßching a solu
tion of the contest for the seat of the
Senator from the Fourth district.
Kr. Billingfelt's amendment , to the
House proposition, which was de
feated on Thursday ); was carried yes
terday in the Senate, so that we now
have a settled plan for drawing the
committee to decide this vexed ques
tion. The plan proposed is to place
the names of all the Senators in a
box and draw from the same thirteen,
and then let each of the parties strike
six from the number so drawn, and
the Senator remaining will consti
tute the seventh member of the com
mittee. This is accepted as fair, and
at least opens the way to investiga
tion, and a contest from which the
Iteptiblican party never shrinks, and
in which it always bears itself, honor
ably and just. Oar report of the leg
islative proceedings of yesterday, will
fully enlighten the reader on this
subject. With this case thus dispos

ture will now be able to devote all
their time and attention to regular
business.—State Journal.,
TUE FATE OF FRAUD IN TEE
ADELPIIIA COVETS.
M2ICEII. the treasurer, and Cuss. T.
YEIIKES his broker were recently .con
victed in Philadelphia for fraudulent
ly causing a defalcation in the treas
ury of the city. The former was Ben
tene3d to pay a find of $300,000 and
undergo an imprisonment at hard
labor for four years and nine months.
IrmorEs' senstence wSs to pay a fine
of $5OO, the cost of prosecution, and
be imprisoned at hard labor for two
years. In passing this judgment,the
court said:
The misapplication, Of public mon.
ey has become the great crime of the
age. If not promptly and finally
checked it will ultimately destroy our
institutions. When a corintry be
comes -honeycombed by corruption
its vitality is gone; :tit must crumble
upon the first pressure.
In my Opinion the public are much
to blame for your offence and others
of a similar character. Heretofore
official fraud has been regarded with
too much indifference. 'What we
need is a higher and purer political
morality; a state of public opinion
which would make the proper use of
public money a thing to be execrated.
It 'was the lack of , this which made
your offence passible.
This dates a genuine reform in offi
cial peculation, and will inaugurate
a sYstem of prudence and honesty in
official affairs which will be a ben A
to Officials as well as to the peopl:
FA. In the matter of the :Ae of
arms, oat of which the ene ies of
the President hoped to in 4 e such
capital, a deplorable failu•. has been
the result. - Mr. Sumner already
failed in his worst at k on the ad
ministration. No o who\7ad,the
report of his spec • on Wednesday .
last will deny tha he failed. By and
by, when the heat of his passion \ hai
cooled, lie will acknowledge to him
self that he failed and blnzidered,and
will condemn the false friends whO
put him • into this false position so
unworthy of him. As for the admin
istration, in common with its friends
everywhere we hope that the investi
gation into this arms selling busi
ness may be made, and made quick
ly. Its vindication will be full and
complete, for it has done nothing of
which it need feel ashamed—done
nothing which will not bear the most
rigid scrutiny and examination. A
statesman of the calibre of Charles
Sumner belittles himself in stooping
to such business, and h.s friends ev
erywhere feel humiliated while con
templating his present attitude. We
deemed him devoted to just
en advocate who never spoke
save in the cause of right—but he
has lately revealed himself as a com
mon politician, given to all the mean
lusts and petty hates which make the
purlieus of the basest politics obnox
ious to honorable men. The Repub
lican party now says " Halt! " to Mr.
Sumner.
/fir Both Houses of the Legisla
ture have been occupied most of the
time for the'past ten days over the
GRAY-McCLunt contested election
case. While 'we have not the slight
est idea that McC=sr. is entitled to

Thet doeuraeutinwell written,
said just at this thne is peculiarly ap

many years at Harrisburg, and is ac
quainted with the defects of our pres
ent constitution and the evils it fos

personal observation, and he
prepared to speak -on them and to
suggest a specific ,--
Starting out by denouncing special
legislation as the, greatest evil of our
system and generation, Mr. ,Tosnax
would have the constitution changed
so as to require the Legislature to
enact general and uniform laws on
every subject which can be so regu
lated, and prohibit local and special
legislation in all cases where the
same ends can be attained by gener
al laws. The clause which confers
authority upon the subject of educa
tion he would have amended so as
not to diScriminato against the chil
dren of the ride
The sinking-fund sections, in his
opinion, should be amended so as to
prevent the State Treasurer from us
ing its moneys. , The State Treasur
e; he also says, should also be elect
ed by the , people. He should and
will be in the very near future, and
before the revised constitution is
adopted.- The struggles over this of
five and the disgraceful bargain and
sale of it are among the worst !ea
tures of the annual tegislatiie ses
sion. Hr. Jones": would also have a
different mode of choosing the Speak
er or presiding officer of the Senate
provided, and prefers the election of
a Lieutenant Governor to serve for
three years. In reference to the qual
ifications of voters he world have the
word "white " stricken out, and
thinks that instead of a residence
within the election district for ten
days preceding the election, as now
prescribed thirty days should be re-
quired.
Theso propositions and - paragraphs
slim up Mr. Joician's paper and af
ford an idea of some of the leading
questions which will come before the
convention for discussion and action.

journal as follows on the subject of
Col. Fortsres successor :
r ' r;IIMMff;MMMTZMW ''' 'nMMI
There is no definite action as yc t
concerning the appointment of a new
Collector for Philadelphia. A delega
tion waited upon the President on
Saturday, and presented the claims
of David F. Holston, the able Dep
uty Collector under Colonel Forney:
The President informed them that
while he appreciated very highly the
abilities of Mr. Huston, he had deter
mined to make the selection -from
among some-of the old merchants of
your city. He will not probably ap
point any of the gentlemen whoa
names have-been hertofore mentio . d
in connection with the' pla ce. is
certain that lie will if possible ' cure
a man who in not in any way 'denti
fled: with any of the faction of the
party, but a person hide. , dent in
this respect, as was Colon - Forney.

!opposed to_General,Grant,cle- 1
that they are-provoked by the
other,
cla a
pt, as they fillege, that no opposi
inn to the renomination of General
Grant will be tolerated by his friends.
This is not true. The friends of Gen
eral Grant invite therfallest canvass
of his claims and thwelaims'of others
for the Presidency. They do not as
sume that the party must nominate
him for 1872 to exclusion of others_
who are spoken of for the - position
They simply !ask for' fair play, and
that,
-while they do not assail others
vino are mentioned for the Presiden
cy: he. should not be singled out arid
assailed. They put him on his mer
its before the country. Bnt they re
pel !maths upon him, and. the recent
attempts to injure his good name.
,What-less orl what else could they
do? Those opposed to him do not
reflect that they are pursuing the
verY, course to insure his renomina
tion.' They assail him unjustly, his
friende \ become excited in his behalf,
the honest masses of the party are
roused aid rush to his support, and
the consequence is his renomination.
Go on, Mr.. \ Greeley, you can not in
jure General Grant. Yon can prove
no corruption On him -or on his ad
ministration. You think you, are
paving the way forkis defeat. Mis
taken, venerable philospher. We ex

Mr. Ennui: It may be saki that the fashion

now ended, and the multitude who, difrirti the

that doubtless awakened the envy and admire.'

fas . , prayer, and,penitence .must now pre'
' The poor are to be remembered, the flab
.rtified and pride for a little season bumbled.
- *-As was early predicted, the past season has
been one of unusual brilliancy and display,
many strangers and pleasure seekers have vis
ited the city ; hotels have been constantly
crowded ; and the street - a . and avenues have
been almost daily thronged with turnouts that,
for the beauty and elegance , of their appoint
ments,could not be surpassed by any other city
in the Union. Pennsylvania avenue, from the
Capitol to the Treasury, has been the principal
scene of these costly trappings and glittering
splendors, while its smooth broad side-walks
have been kept beautifully clean by the long
sweeping trains of their fashionable and elegant '
promenaders.
...
At the National Capitol there is daily the us
ual promiscou assemblage of politicians, lob
byists, jobbers and adventurers of all kinds
The masenline, the feminine, together with the
touter or com Mon gender nondescript Dr: Ma
ry %talker, all may be found crowding- through
its - corridors and vestibules, lounging with an
idle and listless air upon the sofas and mg
cliaira of the House and Senate reception rooms
or wandering about gazing upon, and wonder
ing at the great ponderous pile of marble that
'in stately grandeur, towers far up in the skies
above them. ,
_The morning hour of Monday in the House is
the only time.'when members may have bills re
referred in spite of objections. It is true a great
many bills are never reported back from the
committee ; but ifit is a satisfaction to a mem
ber to offer a hill and hare II referred, it is his
own affair and doubtless some good may come
of it. • ...
Of the hundreds of bine-thus introduced, but
a small portion ever again see the light..
After the regular call on Monday last, it num
ber of gentlemen were prepared with resolu
tions upon which they proposed to move to sue.
Tend the rides, - Mr. Kelly of Pennsylvania was
eager to. catehlhe eye of the Speaker in order
that he might offer a.resolution girls_ to eer
tam irrepressible females suffragists the right
to appear at the bar of the House on Sattudry
next for the purpose of advocating their right
to the ballot. The memorial requesting this
was signed by Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker,
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Mrs. Laura De-
Force Gordon and other acknowledged Indere
of the suffrage movement. • .
Mrs.,Hooker at an early hour invaded tho re
porters gallery to watch the effect of the mo
b:iron on the House and her - heart beat high
with the hope of a faVorabie consideration. It
was the intention that Mi. Storm of Pennsylva.
nia should offer the' resolution ; but as he was
absent, it was entrusted to Judge Kelly.
The resolution was finally introduced, the
yeas and nays were celled upon its passage and
it was defeated lily a vote of eighty-six nays to
ninety-five yeas. This will doubtless be the end
of the woman suffrage question for the season ;
and henceforth member; and Senators will be
allowed to go about their business in peace,
without being importuned, interviewed, and
button-holed in hall, corridor, reception and
committee room, or wherever these Amazons
could get their hands upon them.
Among the many bills introduced on Monday
last, it will be observed that Judge Mercur of
fered his resolittion repealing all existing duties
on tea and coffee, and instructing the Commit
tee of Ways and Means to place the- same on
the free list. Theresolution was strongly op
posed by the opposition; but when the pies
and nays wore called, it was very• handsomely
carried by a vote of one hundred and fo:ty in
:aver to only thirty-seven against it. On the
announcement of the• vote the serious and long
drawn faces of those, who bad so strenuously
fought its passage attested the fact that a mis
take had been made somewhere, and very evi
dently that mistake was not far' from where
these gentlemen stood.

—.Lzsr.—The season of Lent com
menced on the 14th inst., and will expire on the
Slat day of Martin, Easter Sunday. It hal al
ways been a custom of the church to bold as a
period of fasting and solemnity the forty days
preceding Easter in commemoration of the
miraculous abstinence of Jeans when under
temptation. From legen tide,a Saxon term for
spring (as being the time of the lengthening.ot
the day) came the familial word for this period
—Lent Originally the period began on what
is now the first Sunday In Lent, but it being
found that when Sundays, as improper for fast
ing, were omitted, there remained only thirty
six days, the period was made by Pope nregory
to commence four, days earn , r—Ash Wednes
day. This name was derived from the notable
ceremony of the day in the Roman Catholic
church. It being thought proper , to remind
the faithful ►t the commencement of the great
penitential season that they were bat dust and
ashes, the priest took a quantity of aithes,bless
ed them, and sprinkled them with holy water.
The worshipper then approaching in sack cloth,
the priest took up some of the ashes on the end
of his fingers, and made with them the mark of
the cross on the worshipper's forehead, saying:
"Memento; hozno, quiz Viral es, et in pulvirem
reverteria" (Remember, man, that you are of
ashes, and unto ddst will return). The ashes
used were commonly made of the palms, conse
crated on the Palm Sunday on the previous
year. In England, soon after theßeformation,
the use of ashes wan discontinued, and Ash
Wednesday thence became only a day of mark-
ed solemnity, with a memorial of its original
character id a reading of the curses denounced
against impenitent elopers.

—Some wiseacre?, who love to re
fer to the pied old times and.piake their heads
sorrowfully over what they are pleased to con
eider "modern degeneracy," have asserted and
are trying to prove that there is a certain ifeca

individual cues may be cited in which the en
enervating luxury of modern living has decreas
ed the physical vitality ; and thus caused cow
ardice, the great mass of evidence goes to show
that the race is, if anything, braver now than it
was in ancient times. Modern warfare requires
More, courage than ancient strifa could have
done. The roar of cannon and the whistle of
rifle bails is infinitely more trying to the nerves
than the clash of arms, the voices of excited
men, and the neighing of horses, which charac
terized an ancient battle . field. Every war of
modern times disproves the assertions .of old
fogies and grumblers. Ancient histoi y contains
no more wonderful example of dash and brav
ery than the charge of the six hundred at Ital
aklava, and our own rebelioni, and the late
Franco-Itassian :war afforded numberless ex
amples orlho same sort.

which has just been destroyed by firm at Nash
ville, seems to be rather unfortunate. It is one
of the largest printing and publishing houses
in the Southwest, and daring the war was seiz
ed by the Government for allowing itself to be ,
put to disloyal uses. One of the works then in
course of publication was a Confederate edition(
of Harder', Tactics, illustrated by a Southern
artist. A large edition of this book was se.zed
by the United States military anthoritiei on the
premises. After being taken by the Union army
the establishment was carried on by the Quar
termaster's Department, and all the Govern
ment printing, even to large and complicatea
lined blanks, was done with its material and
presses, soldiers being detailed as cerepositors
and pressmen.
lam` The Vigilance of the Govern
ment officers in New YOrk has just
brought to light a_series of smuggling
transactions which for magnitude
have scarcely an , equal in our.history.
A quondam firm, doing business on
Broadway ender the title-of W. J.
Pollock & Co., managed by means o
false invoices and other fraudulent
devices to pass through the custom
house linen and jute goods to the val
ue of several' millions of dollars, the
sale of which at much below the mar
ket rates has for the last few- Monthi3
almost paralyzed the linen trade in
New York, That the bottom of the
matter has been fairly got at is extre
mely gratifying, and it is still more
gratifying to know that the arm of
the law has reached the chief offend
er, Mr. W. J. Pollock, arid that he iri
now under $20,000 bail to await a
trial by his peers. _
N' It is related that' before the
beginning of the war, a number of
Southern politicians called one day
on the editor of the New York Her
ald, which always had a fair Southern
constituency, to induce him to
espouse in his journal their side of
the controversy. They went so far
as to threaten, hi case he did not do
it, the entire withdrawal of Southern
patronage from his paper, with an
air as if they should thereby ruin it.
