Fora-sr & Co. made a great deal
of bluster over the late Philadelphia
election,--asserting that erosEtea
election was secured by means of the
grossest frauds, which .this immacu
late party of reformers promised .to
show np, and convinze everybody
that 31cCLuna ' was' fairly elected ;
but, "a chatigerlas come.
and
the
spirit of their dreams," and the con
test has been abandoned. It is now
more than suspected toat Fortn
and a few ()fliers have collected quite
tt sum of money from their deluded
'followers, which will be added to the
amount received from poor EvAics.
WE never knew the country to be
so greatly aroused in the cause of
temperance as it now is. From
every quarter and tbOugh almost
every medium of communication the
question is discussed; and, the peo
ple are thormghly at work to deal a
stunning if not a - -deadening blow to
the greatest evil now apparent.
Newspapers which heretofore bad
nothing to say on either side of, the
question, are now foremost in clamo-r

Rum. -The laidies of the land are
leading the crusade; and shame on

AFTEII allihat has been said of the
evils of "Radical" rile in Texas, it
comes out that the- finances of the
State, under the showing of the new
Governor; are in a very hopeful con
dition. The entire debt of the State,
bonded and •floatink, - including $3,-
'OOO,OOO of unadjusted: railroad sub
sidies., is less :than $6,000,000. In
reality, it is about $3,000,000, as
until the railroad subsidies -are
settled, they do rot constitute an
ascertained/ debt. -Its against. this,
there- is cash in tlOtreasnry, $36,-
173; unpaid.taxes for 1873, $802,790;
bonds deposited in New Y0r1:„.5900,-
bOO, and the taxes for current year,
7 —enough in all, to meet about one
half of the debt.. The Go;ernor, in
communicating, these facti to the
Legislature, de lares. "we I ought to
'settle what we
w owe, and ;hereafter
pay as e go." . That she‘will be out
of debt - within three years, is certaixi
ly very probables. •
TEIE eirrupt Indian 'ring, whose
have filttened for years_ at
the expense of the poor'• red man,
have not cased to criticise. and' as
sail the President's wise and ,benifi
cent policy in the treatment of the
savages. One illustration of the re
sult of I these calumnies is related by
the President himself. 'When he had
resolved on his. policy, be. appointed
Rev. E. P. 81irm Chief commisaioner
of. Indian Affairs. (He had been
missionary among the poor in New.
Ybrk, had served T in the war, and
was a missionary among the savages.
He did not seek the position.to which
he-was appOinted, yet once in it, did
his duty in'the test pbssible 'manner.
Eat from the beginning of his ad
ministration lie'has.been calumniated
and abused by - DemoCratic papers
controlled by the
_swindling Indian
ring, whose power had bean broken: -
Allast he asked for - a - if:investigation,
- which was aceorded; - and he was de
clared_innocent •of every charge of
wrong; This, however, was never
niintioned by his calumniators, and
at last his wife, tortured by these
persecutions, has : insane.
DE.CtEDLY COOL. In the Press 'of
londu we
. find the iollowing:
"*The members of the Legisbtnre are to be
commended- for reiisting the payment of a
number of newspaper bills for advertising the
new constitution. Many of these latter, we are'
assured on:undonbted authority, arerthe gross
est swindles. It is so seldom that , a legislator
has au opportunity of impeaching the charac
ter of a journalist that we hope the members
will make the most of the chance which now
presents itself. Certain of the editors of the
smaller weeklies have_ attempted to defraud
the State, and it is dne to the cause of decent
journalism that they be exposed."'
The Fred bill for advertising the
new constitution was nearly four
thousand dollars, wideli will - be cut
down to one thousand: And this is
not the first instance in which the
Press has been foand chUrging the
State outrageous prices for advertis
ing. Three years ago .when the
amendment to, the constitution pro
viding for the election `;r' State
Treasurer was advertiga, the aver
age, price charged ' f ,,by the weekly
papers of the State ,4'a not exceed
$2O; whereas FORNEt presented a bill
for nearly one thousand, and was act
ually paid $5OO.
Several of the countrypapeis have
charged exorbitant rates for adver
tising the new constitution, but they
have doubtless been influenced to do
o by the example of the Press and
other dailies.
LmoNG' the cardinal principles
.numerated by the National Grange
id its recent Convention at-St. Louis
are the following :
To buying and produce more, in order to
Make our farms self-sustaining. * To diversify
bar crops , and crop no more than we can colt'.
date.i.condense the weight of our exports,
selling less in the bushel, and more on the hoof
and in fleece. To systematize our work, and
calculate intelligently on probabilities. To dir

:adorn tending to prodigality and bankruptcy.

In addition, I deSire to call atten
tion to a lette that lias been sen`t,
me by thci gentleman who' publishes,
the Democratc, paper in Bradford
county. -He ays: ‘•The , object in'
writing is lo call your attention to
the fabulous prices charged by some
printers for advertising - the new_ Con
stitition—charges that amount to_ no
more nor less, than robbery of .the
State Treasury. There` are honor
ably exceptions, especially in the
northern counties and here and, there
in other localiies, as for instance in
Bucks county. But I will not, for
obvious reasons, make distinctions
lidie, but stibrcA the matter by say
ing, in a gener i ll way, that eight out
of ten of the printers have pOrpetrat
ed- a high-handed piece of business—
a huge swindle in their charges.
The idea that printersshould Charge
one thousand, dollars (more* loss)
when, if the truth was known, not
one half of them have' a thciusand
subscribers. This swindle On the
State Treasury is so glaring that the
Legislature ought never t 3 allow the
payment of slich a swindle. I The
Argils has one thousand nine, l
hun
dred and fifty legitimate circulation
(the. Reporter two thousand six hun
dred), and yet i lit charged only three
hundred dolls s, which was in strict
conformity wili, our terms and Which

Now, Mr. Speaker ; :when we see
the excessive charges that arelmade
the aof the e papers and contrast
it with the nails -county papers,
which, with an actual circulation of
1950, amountt, o three hundred. and

last years were not flee from disap

ly chagrined at the results of some
alit) acts, arid the vote of censure,
paSsed by the Massachusetts Legis
lature lon the occasion of his intro
ducing the battle-flag resolution"in
the Senate, causedlitn much sorrow.
Looking at that act now in the light
of the dead Senator's previous unsel
fish and , unwavering fidelity to 'the
cause of the Union, a generons tee
ple will - attribute his advocacy of the
resolution rather to! a. fault: of the
head than the heart.. The action of
the Legislature of his State only a
few days before his death, in expunge
ing the resolution of censure, must
have been a source of great consola
tion to the dying statesman.
,Let
the . good deeds of CHARLES SEWER
live, while the errors of his useful
life lie buried with his bones.
The following is a lirief resume of
31r.'Sam.NEn's public life:
He, had made many speeches. de-
livered' many lectures and written
much on the evils of, slavery ; and
when, in 1850, President Fillmore
signed the fugitive slave bill, he pro
nounced on'him a most bitter and
powerful condemnation. In the fol
lowing April; Daniel Webster's 'seat
in Senate havina b become vacant thro'
his acceptance of the State Depart
ment under Fillmore, Mr. i Snmner,
through a coalition of free Boilers
and democrats in the Legislature,
was elected 'United States Senator
from Massachusetts.
On the Ist of December, 1851, ho
took his seat in the Senate. He was
re-elected in 1857,,in 1863 and in '69.
Upon his first entrance into the
Senate; Mr. Sumner became an out
spoken opponent of the "extensionof
slavery. In May, 1856, when the
bill for the, admission of Kansas as a
State was under debatejie made one
of his grandest oratorical efforts,
which, While it delighted and aroused
'the friends of ireedoni, alarmed and
enraged the friends of. slavery. This
led.. to the - assault of Preston' S..
Brooks, committed on Thursday; May
22, fro days after this great speech
had ;been finished.- The effects of
the assault 'upon Mr. Sumner were
very serious. He was entirely disa
bled, mentally and bodily,for a time.
Having had the best ,treatment .to be
found in this country;-without much
benefit, he went to Europe in March,
1857,1f0r further treatment. He re
turned in the autumn to take his
seat irt the Senate, to which he had
been. But his condition
was still precarious, and he. suffered
'extremely ana continually. Again,
in May, 1858,: hp went to Europe
and placed hirnsfaUf in' the hands of
eminent' surgeons in Paris, wh6-sub
jected him to very severe and extra
ordinary treatment, but with much
more satisfactory results than had
been expected. He returned to
America, almost completely restored,
in the autumn of 1859, and ho took
his seat once More in the Senate in
the succeeding winter.
When Lincoln meal elected and the
southern States prepared to secede,
Mr. Sumner distinguished himself by
his opposition to all propositions of
compromise or concession to the
south. When secession took place,
and . when the war was began after
Lincoln's inauguration, he was ono
of the most strenuous supporters of
the administration, and early-advo
bated emancipation of the slaves as a
war measure as well as a memuro
of justice., In the logislationnf Con
gress defining the rights of colored
people, Mr. Sumner took a "promi
nent and active part throughout the
years of the war and those immedi
ately succeeding it.- •

On Wednesday - evening the joint committto en

an audience in the Hall of. the house of Rep

The committee were addressed in behalf of
the friends of repeal Jy Messrs., Lrrrasi,, of
Pittsburg, PIXSTrAcsEn, of Chester, and His
aux, of Williamsport. The speakers were all
moderato and respectful in their'remarks, tak
ing the ground that local-option was a dead;
letter, and that it had been demonatrated.that
intemperance was on 'the increase, instead of
decrease, in the counties where it was in force.
Viewing the question in a purely moral light,.
the speakers held that public and private mor
ality would be better subserved by the passage
OF A STIILNOLST LICENSE LAW,
rigorously enforced. At the conclusion of the
speeches, the comm:tteo adjourned the meet
ing, when an old gentleman who writes Ilev, to
his front name stepped forward, and initn ex

against repeal to rise and sing

SUM ER IN, THE GILIVE
Bosro's,
,March 16.—The funeral
of Mr. Sumner to -day was the most
solemn event of the eenturrin Bos
ton, thegrief that had been welling
in the hearts of our people culmi
nating. The parcipitants in the last
sad honors included the best and
most distinguished of Massachusetts'
sow, in every walk of life, literature,
politics, and the
,legal profession.
The services at the church were im
pressive but tmostentations,atid there
was little if any of the vain and pomp
and display - which usually attend ,
such occasions.
,Bosxmr, March 16.—The obsequies
of Sumner took plebe at half
past three o'clock this afternoon in
King's Chapel. The remains -were
conveyed from Doric Hall in a hearse
drawn by four black horses, escorted
by's force of mounted State l i consta,
bles, followed by a precession of the
executive and legislative authorities,
the Congressional committee, and
delegations of United States officials,
municipal authorities, and other
bodies. The pall-bearers were ex-

four men, who bore a massive cross
nine•leet in height, Composed of calla
lilies, _ctunellas, vzolets, and othei
choice exotics. At the base, in abed
of white violets, Were the words, "A
tribute fiem his native city and

finest floral offerings ever seen in this
city, and attracted the attention of

followedsthe words of Job, conclud
ing: "The Lord gave, and the Lord
taketh away; blessed l i e the name of
'the Lord." The ctioir then sang :
" To Thee, 0 Lord, I yield my spirit."
Mr. Foote then readlthe 39th and
20th Psalms, the choir,. -clianting al
ternate passages. Selections from
the ' l6th chapter of liirst Coriathi,-
anti, contained in the burial service,
were then read, after which the choir
sang Mendelssohn's beautiful anthem,
" Happyland blest are they who have
endured for though 'the body dies
the soul shall live forever." Mr. Foote
then read touching paasages of ser
vices beginning, " Man who is born
Of woman bath but a 'short time to

He fleeth as it were - a shadow, and
