- As the • tune approaches for the'
meeting of :mit: State Convention,
and under the new constitution *3OY
eral new officers are to be selected, we
-
deem it our duty to preser4 the name
of a candidate for the office of Lien
tenant Governor, whose; candidacy
will awaken the enthusiasm and well
wishes of Northern Pennsylvania for
that positi?3, , ii.
No loneOcan deny, after year by

At the breaking out of the _,war he
entered the Eervice and was soon
Commissioned Major in the 6th
Penn'a Reserves; served la" year in
that..eapacity. In Augnet,jB62, was
commissioned Colonel of ,the 141st.
Regiment, In the 14ter part of the
war-he was Brevetted . Brigadier-Gen
oral, and while lending his Brigade
was dangerously wdunded.; At the
close of the war he was made Brevet
Major-General.
._2.His record as
- soldier is too well known in this
county and in Northern Peniasylva
nia to need comment. We believe
the announcement of his name will
be sufficient Ito rally the whole of
'this part of the State in his support.
Certaid it is, in our county,—with
out casting disparagement on others,
—oar whole people were proud of
his military record.
For the office of Lieutenant Gov
ernor,
--
the duties of which are to .:be
presiding officer of the Senate, and,
in case of the death Of the Governor
to fill the vacancy, he has' eminent
ability to perform.
Let the whole of Northern Penn-,
sylvania unite in urging this proper
claim, and we doubt not be will be
nominatcil and successfully sleeted.

Mr. Cameron, i advocating the adoption of

/ he looked at these

heard a single b nem man say we had enough
curren y. The n Onal banking system had
1 1
done much good, id should be extended., His
substitute was deigned to satisfy the demand
for morn money iront causing a!shoch to

known fact that i t acme seasons of; the year
the people want More money than (tit others.
This fixed &mum , of currency was al terror to
honest men and a jubilee to speculators. The
increase or natiot al banks would enable - the
United Statas to -same h specie' payment sooner

sisigbhue which during this time the occasional
falls of =ow afforded, may have been a sourest' of
- enjoyment to those in possession of homes and
sleighs; but the expenditure of twenty dokso per
hour for the satisfaction of I drive up and down
Pennsylvania Avenue, is a financial operation that
la not at all healthy fora thin pocketbook. The
sharp air and cold north winds which are prevailing
will. however. lave a tendency to check the mime
tare growth of vegetation which many were fearing
$ contistalianof the warm weather would produce.
The event. and proceedings of Congreu, tip to
the present time, have not been of any very grist
importance. Beyond the Introduction and refintng
oi bill. to the proper committees, our legislative
Oolong; so far, hive seemingly been nudge in make
any very great advancement.. That such a condi.
tidn,of affairs should exist Li not at all imrprlsing
when we reflect that, at the commencement or each
session. almost every new member mist signalize
his entry Into public life, and win the fever or Ide
cenitituents by the introduction of some bill Which,
sturibeing read and referred. is generally pigeon.
holed, never to see the light of Heaven spin ; all of
which, however, takes up the time and aide in re
tattling the progress of legislation.
The committee on Appropriations appear to keep
busily angered. Retrenchment is the watchword,
and the indications are that. In their endeavors to
bring about a reform and a redaction of - pUblic ex
penditures, they will go to an extreme that will be
more injurious than beneficial to tho public good.
Economy, in the management of public affairs, is
undoubtedly a virtue which deserves high coinnum
dation ; but the ambition to.eun a cheap reputation
for-economy by cutting down the working force or
the Government departments and workshops to a
point which mutt impair the efficiency of the public
service, is a very different matter. N otwithstanding '
that business just now is in a bad condition, the
country at large is very far trona being poor; and
. when tens of thousands of men are losing their la
bor for weeks at a time for want of employment,
when private business Is paralyzed rims prostrated,
it seems that this should be the time when necessa
ry public works of all kinds should b,,c most vigor
ously pushed,
The consequent deduction from the public wealth
wduid sweetly be felt; but ft it was !. the 'country •
can better afford to stand the expenditure of a few
millions of dollars on public works of real utility ,
than it can afford to let labor go to waste, and labor-
itis starve. It is Well recognized as an economic
principle, that public works emelt to be vigorously
prosecuted when private industry is in a languish 7
log condition; sad that, on the othei, hand, wheia
labor is in great demand, governments, so fat as
they can conveniently do so, should postpone Dreir
enterprises; and refrain from taking away necessary
libor from private employes.
It is more than suspected that the committee, or
perhaps it should be said 1 certain portion of Hiniti,
are cutting right and „left into , thei: estinistin Of-ex
pel:urea for the current year, reiirdless of mesa
qualms. in hopes of reclalming-lost reputations, or
PerhaPO in revenge for the condensuation received'
with regard to certain of their legislative acts, which
It is unnecessary to mention and which have proved
not at all acceptable to the public. "
The is-Organization of the different Departments
at Washingtrin, and the reduction of the clerical
;ores have been intrusted to a committee on reform
in the civil service, of which Bon. J. D. Sraawnamoz
is a member., During the put few weeks this cram
mittee has been actively engaged in visiting the De
partments, and fixing upon Bert changes and, re
ductions as in theirjudgmeirithey may think neces
sary; and.at a proper time they will make their re
port, and'introduce a bill to carry it into effect. As'
the committee progress with their work, It is under
stood that, in connexion with a general reduction of
ten per cent. of the clerical force, which a majority
Mite members will ingot upon making, an increase
oCtle hours of labor will, 'at We same time. be as
strongly nrcommendett. , • , .
We aro pleased to know that .Dr. l-trnawerarten
while ho is earnestly laboring to bring about proper
reforms and retrenchment In the management of
Public affairs. is in no way desirous of building lip
i'reputation as a statesman bysiny such scrimping
and ahaviug down policy of legislation as proposed
by this ommittee. With a just appreciation of the.
I reformeconteroplated by the foniation of this coal ,
nitrite, he does not propose to endorse this " penhy
wise and, pound foolish " policy, nor to ignore ;the
long and , well-established. fact, that the' present eix
honresystem is grata as much as any constitution
however strocg, is well aipable of tearing. We are
glad to know that he has placid himself eqnarely In
opposition to all such legislation, which. In the way
of reform. s amounts to nothing more than the mere
raising of it cloud of dust, under:cover of whict it
would seem certain puttee are seeking to retreat
from ttiepitblic disfavor and bail repute into which
they have fallen.
A more careful consideration of the large appro..
priations to the several Depertments, to be used as
a discretionary fund in'the defraying of contingent
expenses, the printing of an immense amount of
wortbless documents,- together with many other
matters that mieht be named, would perhaps look a
title more consistent, and a little more like true
economy, than the miserable policy of st..emptieg
to save the Treasury of a great nation a few hundred
dollars by overword, and by taking the bread out of
the months of a tow men and women.
The ft *andel question is still the groat unsettled
problem of &alley. Inflation or i ontraction is the
issue. The Bonita and West are belleied to be in

bankers and money hinge, &Tot the latter, or rather
the let-alone policy. Bind Congress shall bare ar.
rived at what may be deemed a proper solution of
the question, there will doubtlees bo but little legis
lation effected.
The festal season is now over. It was short and
brilliant. Despite the forebodings of the panic
struck, the number and magnificence Of its enter"-
tsinments wore never greater; and, as la cense,
quence, it may be euppoeed that the beauty, wealth,
fashion and shoddy, that are now gathered. at the
Capital, have enjoyed themselves accordingly. But
as all that is now over, the footlights extinguished
and the curtain rung down, we suppose, as usual,
during the Lenten season charity balls, charity fairs.
Charity concerts and charity lectures will ho the
next In order. Doubtless the sufferings and wants
of the poor will be somewhat alleviated by the in-.
summation of such entertainments: but it occurs if
that was the real object, it might be attained in
more direct and less troublesome way, and-with a
little lees expense. But "pleasure ie s pleasant
thing." and there are many we suppose that will not
hesitate to give so long as some such enjoyment, if
It may be called enjoyment, accompanies the giving.
It is, we believe, the .' open sesame " to the tightest
drArn purse strings.'
In the amusement line, the latest sensation is the
arrival at the new National Theatre, of JanniT and

I like a mad bull at a red shirt,and a

Rimming his seat Ihe meditated.
Meditation is a good thing, especially
when the meditations are good The,
patriarchs used to meditate, great
men,in all ages of thp world have
meditated, and the editor of the
Journal is no exception to the rule..
His teeditationaran thus:- 1" We awl
never endure this dead lovol of
friendly toleration. Wemust have , a
passage-at-arm with somebody, and
to a young journalist liki3 me, who is
sighing for fame and spoiling for a
fight, it makes little difference whom
he strikes, so that he is careful not
to bit a Heenan or a Morriaey. Edi-
tors are supposed to knaw every
thing, and some of them do know a
great deo, so it will not do for us. to
profess ignorance of Castelar's identi
ty. We will charge him with being
some other .man, and if - he denies it
nobody will believe him, and if the
other man denies being Caste* no
body will credit his denial ; every
body will believe the Journal, for
newspapers,never lie. If neither of
them should deny being Somebody
else, then, according to the old
adage, 'Silence gives' consent and
judgment goes by default? "
- He siezed his pen and wrote: " Our
friend Castelar is ;doing us more ser
vice than he wets :of A young be 4,
ginner is apt to feel mortified when
all his efforts meet with no apprecia
tion, and all his best articles ate as
cribed to hie, father." Not liking the
looks of the sentence as it stood, he .
`dashel his editorial pen through the.
latter part of it, not from any lack of
paternal respect, for he venerates his
honored father, but because it did
not seem quite the - right thing for an
editor-in-chief to have any father.
A streak of momentary vanity made
him desire to be considered a high
editor, after the order of Milchisadek.
He then altered the sentence so
it read thus: " A youngbeginner, is
apt to feel mortified when all his
efforts moat with no appreciation,
and be chooses to do a little wrong
that good may come of it." This did
not agree with his last sandy school
lesson,and was altered 'once more and
printed as " A young begin
ner is apt to feel mortified when all
his efforts meet with no appreciation,
and he chooses to incur - a little blame,
piovided its object is to sink him be
low his reil merit."
. That lie writes well, when not ex
cited, we have ocular demonstration.
Take for 'example the following sen
tence:
" Criticism, , whether friendly or
adverse, has its uses, and in ourlim
ited experience it makes 'little differ
ence which." -"
This is prObably . ,a new style of
writing which is just coming into
fashion, and the c grammarians are at
work constructing the rules to parse
it. A bold man would not care to
say the sentence is not perfectly fin
isbed and equal in; clearness and
beauty to anything that can be found
in the whole range of English litera
ture. After
,you , have thrashed a
man to your heart's content, it, is
sometimes good policy to apply a lit
tle balm to his bruises and speak a
few conciliatory, wards to cheer his
despOinient heart. None understand
this bettq than the Journal man, and
here-is the pre-cription compounded
by this skilful son of Esculapius to
heal the wounds of Castelar:, " For
the gratification. of Castelar we wish
to say the ' nice little paper ' will
soon be enlarged, and when it shall
- have become great and mighty, and
he shall have been! born again' and
again a candidate for office we shall
be most hapk, by our warm support
and infittence, to triumphantly elect
him to the coveted place/ prcvided
there should be no democrat of great
personal popularity, and also a lib
eral advertiser in the Journal, in the
field against him." Fearing the pro
viso might destroy the value of the
medicine, was stricken out and the
following substituted in its , place :
" and so avert a recurrence of . that
disaster,- which the lakewareinese of
his pet" organ permitted." That lit
tle thrust must have been made at
the REPORTER. People sometimes
differ because they do not understand
each other. _
, In the Journal article under re
view, we find this sound declaration
—" that party ties relax the "
moment
principles are forgotten." This leads
us to suspect that there may not be
so great a difference in our politiCal
views after all. This doctrine is
what we. have been contending for
all along, and if the Journal will
stand by Its declaration, as doubtless
it wdl, there is no occasion for -con
troversy; and tight here we are will
ing to " bnry the hat chet" and smoke
the pipe of peace. Party ti-s relax
the moment principles are forgotten."

CAsrmen.

ed from Great Biitain to Washing
ton, where it was opned sand subse
quently remailedto this city, to be
returned to the Writer. Its long de
tention abroad Was not explained.
An employee of Mr. Yznagadelvalle
called at the postb, ffice to receipt' for
it. He told Mr. Clarke, one of the
dead letter-clerks, that Yzanagadel
-1 vale, undoubtedly 'wrote the letter,
but that he did' not reeolleet it. He
said that Mr. Yzuaga, the gentleman
to whom it was sent, had beed dead
six. years. . 1
The contents Of the letter,i Which
was written in S p
anish, li show that
the draft was fro a friend in ' Ha
vanna, and that 4t was to pay a debt.
The paper is yellow with age, and
the ink faded and almost illegible.
The wonder among the Postoffice
authorifies is how, it was found. Mr.
Clarke ;says that there are several
instances of
' dead letters being recov
ered five or tix,yeais after they were
posted, but he dt:sn't.re.member one
that has been t, enty-two years in
transit: Supe ri ntendant Gayler thinks
it was diecovered among the old pa
pers in the American Consulate at
Liverpool. , _
