E. O. GOODRICH.
THE CAIISE - OF TEMPERANCE.
The greatest awakening on the
subject of temperance ever known in
this country, it now being experi 7
enced in the cities and large- towns
That the work so heroicly prosecuted
by the Christian women of. America
has already been' productivenfmuch
good, norone whO c has paid - the least
attention -to the subject' will deny.
Whatever.men may think concerning
the propriety of ladies 'visiting the
rum-holes, they are Clinstrained to
acknowledge, that these women' are
thoroughly in earnest, and that their
motives are pure. Armed with such
weapons, and seeking direction from
the - Great Ruler, they cannot fail of
success. Will the temperance men
of'the country be blameless if they"
sit idly by and see their wives, sisters
and mothers Pushing forward ; this
great work, unaided by the stronger
sea? ,Is it- not clearly our duty at
lei"-t to see that , the laws enacted by
our representatives to supp'ress the
evils of intemperance. are faithfully
executed?
_ln pursuance of an act of the leg
islature, the people of Bradfor4 Co.
voted liist_year that no license slionld
be granted here: for next three
years, and the conris have refused
since that time ,to license any cue to
sell the sil - tiLifestroying ijuid. And
we believe ircLb,e rural districts the
verdict of the people against license
is
` generally acceeded to by those who
formerly4,old in pursuance of law ;
but; the case is quite different in To :
wanda, and other boroughs. -We - be
lieve-that liquor is now ciij sold in
more places here than under the
license system, and this iu the face
of a public sentiment which gave 41
handsome majority in.fav?r of local
option. Daring the past year, one
of the-chief difficulties in the way of
bringing'i the offenders -to justice
-seems to have been the grand juries,
which were largely composed of:men
sympathizing with the liquor traffic ;
but we are satisfied, fromi; an. -exami
nation of the names now in- I -4143 u
box, that this difficulty will not have
to be contended with this year, and
if the law is not exicuted the' blame
will rest upon other fficiaLs. or the
law-abiding Zilizeris of the ..county.
If those who are cognizant of the
violation of the liquor far. 7
nish information : to the constable,
.the law makes it incumbent upon
him to report e case to the Court,
and it then bec 'cries the duty of the
district attorney to prosecute the
case in the same manner as any other
violation of the I.lw is prpsecnted.
We are aware that there is quite 'a
wide-spread •feeling among temper
ance pe ,, ple that the Judges and oth
er c ~y officials_ always favor the
liquor-seller. This we are satisfied
is not the ease. While some of these
gentlemen may not be as largely in-
terested in ;the cause of temperance
as we might wish, yet we- are confi
dent tliat in the
,discharge of their
official duties . they are impartial and
their decisions'f i thovh suspicion. -The
luting of the Court in r." quaslaing. 2 '
cartaidindictr u ents found .afDecem
ber term has been quite severely ani
madverted upon by thoser'vho did
not fully understand the case. The
indictments referred to ,were drawn
by the district attorney after a form
which had been used by some of his
predecessors ; but when the cages
were called fora hearing before the'
court anA jury the - counsel for,.'the
defense raised the point that': the in
dictments were defective, and aftei'a
thorough examination of the ques
tion, Judges SratErsr. and Mortaow
and Associate RusaEct were -clearly
convinced that the objection should
be snstained. This action, however,
does , not prevent the , 'district uttor:
ney from preparing new indictments
against the same parties, on the
,same charges. Such mistakes are
not unfrequent on the part of district.
attorneys, and indi4ments are often
set aside by , order 4af the Court for
technical, or other informality. Tem
pers.ncs men need have no fears that
the Court will not administer the
\ law fairly and impartially with either
of our Judges, and we have no:doubt
that violators of_the liquor paw, as
well as other laws, if prosecuted,
will have to suffer the consequences
o! their trangressions.

OEMOCRATIC ECONOMIA% •
,
Our neighbor . the Arius s greatly
exercised over: the extravagance of
our Legie' lattue, -
• It rem* copied froth the Harriet
burg .Patriot a statimedi showing the
number of employes now on the pay
roll of the Legislature, for the pur
pose of proving the Astravaganae of
the present Assembly.
Now, we are no apologists for the
Short comings,or , over Teachings of our
lawmakers in •this pat , % - cular. No
doubt persons are, on the pay-rot
who should not be there. We have
hive'. known a session of the Legis
lature Mot would not. admit • o: . a
great improvement in the way of
economising the public funds.
But our cotempoary is not the
one to instruct.* the public in this
matter. Let us see how his friends
conducted this business when last in
power at Harrisburg.
In 1870 there were thirty-night
effieers employed in the Senate, the
salaries of whom amounted to
466,65, and the, total expenses of
the Senate that session were $92,260.-
35. • • ' 1
In 1871, the Democrats, by soave
unaccountable turn of political ; for
tune-or misfortune, had a majority
in the Senate. They had Been oat of
power so long, and srn many hungry
fellows were waiting I for a cha n ce at
the public teat again, that no one
was surprised to see a pell-mell rash
for the loaves and fishes. What was
the riesUlt ? Ttaat winter there, were
on tha.pay-roll 'of. the Senate forty-
Tee namea,,eosting jthe State $47,-
90-1.50 and the _whole expgnses of the
Senate that session - amounted to
$140,757.68 —at increase, under
Democratic rule, of $48,497.33—m0re
Than the pay of i►ll,the employes the
previous year.
Whatever may be the shortcom
ings of the presenti - Legislature. , we
doubt whether it makes as damaging
a financial record 'vs f is . here shown.

Senator` CsiumoN mounted a table
and spoke as follows: . ..
Every gentlAman must be proud today. and ape.
dells every citizen of Pe=rAirsida. (Appian** I
am proud as a citizen Of this' great Oft to haws
witnessed the acoccaplialiment of this sucamand en
terprise. Fur yore I have witelted.the regress of
the iron and Coatintefesta of Pennsylvania. I said
forty years ago that the iron and coal of Fininsilvs
nia would one day dominate not only the Union b t
the world. [Applause). To day has Welt
one of the largest steamships, the largest ever built
In America. and next t• the largest ever built In the
world—the Grog Eastern. She, as you all know;
was a failtire. We are sure thls one win be a stur
cesa, I watched the building with great interest of
, the first Iron steamship in America, which I believe
was the first ever built in the world. She was con
structed at Pittsburg, s of Pennsylvania I=4 and she
was the monument of Pennsylvania workmen. She
bad a burden of, only 250 tons, .We have today
just witnessed the launch of a 5350 tons
burdens. In the early history ofvelsel.of
this State one hun
dred wagons, of six horses, each carrying six thou
sand pounds. transported ail the . commerce from
the Atlantic to the. Ohio river, which was then th e
western terminus But att ar that Robert Fulton
and Oliver Emus, who Invented steam navigation.
were the first to make our Iron and coal available.
Now. today, a single vessel has been launched with
a capacity as I said before of 6,210 tons. This has
,been accomplished by the iron and coal interests of
our noble State, and by our own people. I remem
ber very well. some years since. Senator' Calhoun
asked me how much a ton oa iron was worth In the
earth. I took my pen and made a calculation, and
said that the iron. coal, and limestone wis worth
in the earth eleven dollars per ton. He said it was
impossible.• I answered that It certainly was so.
But I fear he did not believe It. Now.' the eteam
ship which luta taeon launched represents ',value of
$9lO on every ton of iron. This is what the builder
of the ship recg ives . This increase of value is due
to the labor of the workingman. This is something
of which the whole country should be proud, The
future progress of our country depends i upon cont.
'rated industry. Mr. Roach, the builder of too ship,
came here after a very enterprising &mot our State
bad failed to get facilities to carry on th business,
Ha discovered the local advantages of the eir ,
place for
the ship.bnilding business, and be pturhased the
property at what was supposed to be a I very high
rate. His first movement was to give notice that be
would build ships of iron for a less amouht par ton
than it would cost to build them on the Clyde. or In
any other part of the world. The basis of his calcu
lation was this: That here on The Delariver,
fifteen miles below Philadelphia, so near ze
that it ,is
almost part of the city itself, was abun t water
to fiat the largest vessels. With a goof climate, so
that the river is never obstructed with ice, and
with iron and coal nearer to-day than the iron end
coal is to Glasgow, ho could make these ships at a
coat not more than the shipbuilders of the Clyde.'
He took the contracts for these vessels at, a price be,
low the bids °Send by other men In the same busi
ness. It was predicted that he would fail; but he
has succeeded, as we haio seen today, I and I am
authorized to say that be has made a prot equal to
that which he expected. Now , a less nteillgent
man than he, a man with less ouergyl nd pluck.
might have failed; but ho belongs to the indomitar
i
ble race which never has failed—the Se teh. [iti
t i ii
plause]. Fifteen or sliteen years ago the village
which you now are was a hamlet. It h been
'county seat when Penns: Amnia laid • counties
and made seats of government. As en rise went

WHAT OBEN ST LTE 19 WOBTII.--The
wealth of Pennsylvania
,Is not only Immense, it is
Solid. It is simply impossible to ascertain it within
hundreds, perhaps thousanda of millions. The but
that can be done with the aid of such statistics as
we have is to approximate it. That Mr. Higher's.
head of the Bureau of Statistics, has done as well as
could be from the Information available. ,
In getting at He wealth of the State (raja the,
Pittsburg C'emmereiak,ldr. Bigham anaiders the
State valuation and that made by the United States
census officers In 1870. The State assessors, with a
solemn and wonderful regard for their oaths, report
the real and personal property of the State at 61,-
171,968.977, while the actual value reported bpthe
United States census offiMale, with no ward or town
ship ales. to grind is $3,675,381,851—na1y three
times as much as the State assessment.
The capital of the two hundred Hellcat( Banks
In the State is $2/4913 732.12; of the State banks,
$63,225,13609; and of the savings hanks, building
and loan associations, and private banks, $189,081,.
332.96. This makes a total of banking capital in
Peranyinnia, in various forms, reaching the aggre
gate of 2433,250,801.66.
"The value of the railroads of the State, Canal com
panies, coal end mining companies and passenger
railroads, is estimated at a total of $303,01.031.60.
next comes corporations aside from
such as insurance, water, gas, expreei, oth etc.
They represent a total valuation of speooo.ooo.
•ifercnints, wholesale and retail, are put down at
$126,800,000.
Agricultural and farm and garden produrts, $521,-
078,310.00, and Manufactures of all kinds, $397,630,.'
521.60. Thesd figures the commissioner collated
,from the cel(stus report of 1870, and they constitute,
as he bas arranged them, the moat detailed state.
ment of the wealth of Pennsylvania heretofore pub
lished. The products in kind, and not in value, as
estimated above, embrace, In bushels, wheat, lye'.
barley, oats, Indian corn, peas, beans, potatoes; hay
In tons, butter, cheese. hope, tobieco, Wool, irc.
The mineral wealth of Pennsylvania it II impoui:
ble to estimate, but Mr. Bigharit tries his hand at
it for one year. with this result
Anthracite.—
Bituminous—
Oil
" The production of Iron manidactures in 1870 was
$127,000,63, and forty p•r cent. of increase since
would bring the product of 1873 np to the stnpehde
-nous aggregate of $177,000.0.0. The product of
steel, copper, zinc and nickel, new Industries \ in this
State, falls below $10,000,0G0. A large class of minor
industries, slate, marble, limestone,sand.stme, fire
brick, and many others of like class, afford the Bu
reau of Startistica no data on which to make a state
nient, and therefore the Commissioner estimates
these products at $20,000,000.
If we aggregate all these figures to get at the total
health of our grand old State, we find that It reach•
es nearly seven thousand millions of dolisrs,--(plib ' s
an encouraging sum for the new constitution to
start into the business of government with, backed
as it ls by the mind and muscle of not less Cu&
four millions of human beings.
" IfauLmo Lei . ms HORNS."- The
Press, through its editorial and cor
respondence, has for some months
past been engaged in a warfare on
Senator Scow, but finding that the
thing don't pay, FORNEY endeavors
to back out. In the Press of Thurs
day last we find the following:
During the recent absence of the editor u a
mourner at the Sumner obsequies, in Washing
ton, our Harrisburg letter, severely reflecting
upon Hon. John Scott,Senatorin Congress from
Pennsylvania, was published in The Press. It
would not have appeared if the editor had been
at home. The simple fact thi#, Sonator Scott
has been an active and influential advocate of
the cause of the Centennial would have been
sufficient to silence ,all general criticism upon
his public charecterand conduct if we had not
other reasons to approve his general course as
