The real editor of the ArguA, CoL Peourr, proNses to be the especial champion of the farmer I_, and in Grange meetings and private circu lars warns the tillers of the soillo be ware of corporations. At 'the same time, be is engaged through ,his or gan, the Argue, in denouneing every eftoA to 'compel these corporations to pay their just, proportion of :taxa tion. In the last issue of that sheet he displays either . his ignorance or demagoguism in a lengthy, article in opposition to the - bill passed by the legislature imposing a tax upon coal. For his information we state that, under the provisions of the new constitution a committee on appro. priation was created, to Whom all bills making appripriationo Were re ferred- How well and faithfully that committee performed its dulies may be inferred-fropi the fact that appro, priations for the present !yeir are considerably lss than for this year 1873. The' COonel, true to his nat ural instinct, - finds fault with the tax of three cents per ton impoised upon coal Mined 14, corpor ations / chartered by the State,' although previous to the passage . of the law anthracite coal was taxed four eenls per ton. The Argue article says this tax will produce "one million dollars reve nue." As it was necessary to raise the revenue in'some way, we sup pose it would have suited the. janus faced Colonel much better Ito have million dollars taxed upon the real estate of the Commonwealth, and let the corporations in which he is a stockholder go "scot free." To our mind the legislaturA acted - wisely in so framing the revenue la as as 'to raise sufficient money to Meet the; ordinary expenses of the State gov ernment without reinstating the tax upon real estate, and-thus adding to the barthens of 111 farming cOmman ity. The Argy...: and Col. PIOLLZT to the contrary notwithstanding, the people of this county and the State at large will endorse Mr. Mitn's course .as Chairman of the Ways and Means committr e. His legislative ' career justly entitles him to the confidence of our peoPle. Would that we could say as much of Col, Prourr. Oct attention has been called to a circular issued by the executive com mittee of Bradford council, P. of H., which indicates that oar fears and warnings that the organixatiou would be prostituted to. the political ad vancement of certain notorious po- . litical hacks were not without good cause. In the document referred to, which haii the names of all the mem bers of the committee,attachedut wai written by Col. PIOLErr, while it cOn tains - ranch godd adtice, asserts what he and every otter intelligent farmer in the county knows to be false, in saying that the taxes imposed upon the farmers of this county are oner ous and altogether too high'for the needs of an economical government. The truth is the farmers in Bradford have but ° little tax to pay. The levy for county and State purposes is only lour mill's, while the , valuation upon ' 1 which it is, levied will not average • over twenty-five per cent. of the - real value of property taxed.

The convention lain= was doily ered by Dr. Kzemo, of Thuvisbtirg, and was an able, bold and timely protest against the tendeucies of a portion of the church to "go toward Borne." The Bishop in his address referred to the same subject in lan guage which leaves no doubt as to his sentiments. He said: S. W 4 111.1.VOISD " I do earnestly enjoin. upon paro chial clergy of this diocese to refrain from every novelty in attire, or in the manner of ministration, for which express sanction has . not been given by: the ordinary: -is a period of great sensitiveness. Some in 'every congregation are disturbed if the of minister omits anything in the service of the sanctuary to which they are accustomed, and others are filled with suspicion and alarm if anything new in dress or demeanor suggests a. thought . of Bomanistic tendencies. While, as a Chuich, we claim to be catholic, there must he left great scope for differences of opinion upon matters not essential. There must be limitation to the free dom of expressing these differences by speech, or ritual in the churches of Zion will become' a babel of con.; fazed tongues rather thin a city at unity within itself. Our " churches are not stages for the - performances of spectacular rites, according to ev ery man's fancy, but sanctuaries for the solemn and orderly conduct of Divine worship. Oar pulpits are not rostrums for the promulgation of every man's opinion who, in holy or ders, wishes •to make known his , con ceits of things more or less remotely related to Christianity, bat they are mountains of God's holiness, from which nothing is to be spoken but His Word, and , the honest, earnest, exposition and application of it." While we do not profess to under stand the financial situation, what little knowledge we do possess leads us to believe that more currency is demanded by the business wants of the country. The volume of curren cy is no larger now than ten years ago, and yet the business of the country has increased largely. Pres ident GRAN-r seems to differ from a majority of the Republican party on this question, and time alone will disclose who is correct. We copy the following comments on his recent " Memorandum " : The Tribune says that in the six years of his presidency there. has been nothing so worthy of the author of the Vicksburg campaign as the memorandum to Senator Jones. ;co bolder, more comprehensive, more practical or more effective plan of re sumption has yet seen the light in this country. The Herald says: " It is alike re« markable whether we consider the combined soundness and boldness of its monetary doctrine, the public or the political consequences with which they may be fraught. In our judg-, meat' not only was the monetary views of the President admirably sound, but. their publication in this peculiar way is justifiable, or at least excusable, and their political effect will be salutary even for the Repub lican party - , - unless the inflation lead-, ers are mad enough to break with him and disrupt the 'organization." Thurlow Weed, in a letter to the Tribune, says: ", If Congresi ad journs letivutg the country in the wretched financial: condition they found it, the places which now know them will be hereafter unknown to most of them forever. He thinks the presidential manifesto reflects credit upon Grant's wisdom and courage, but says he makes a mistake in rec ommending the issue only l of bills of not less than ten dollars, as the ex perience of New York State proved 'Such a system wrong years ago when small bills were found a positive con venience and a necessity."

The 'glowing de scriptions of the beauty, wealth and fashion assembled, of its scenes and incidents, gorgeous decorations and roseate surroundings with which the die hive beenlavored, intuit have drawn almost exclusively from the imagination of some reckless re porter, who possthly, under the in fluence of a pipeful or so of hasheesh, or some other mysterious power, had imagined himself; roaming the fabled gardens of the #ods. A curbstone iew of the tide of carriages, with their fair and richly-dressed occu pants, as they rolled in through the well guarded' gates, was all that was permitted. That the floral decoratiens of the East Boom, where the ceremony was performed, were very beautiful and tastefully arranged, there can be no doubt; and that the bridal presents were elegant and approprie, there is, also, as little doubt -; but aside from this, it is well understood that there was a decided plainness and absence of anything like tentation in -every thing connected with. the arrangements. Anything 4e giving it official significanc4 was also as c.a.refully avoided: !- The quiet manner in : B ich the whole affairiwas conducted was cer tainly a very happy con t with some. of the recent noisy wedding scenes - of the fashiOnable wtst end of the city=made notorious for their reckless waste, extravagance and fol ly, broken decanters and glasses, spilled wine and tipsy gar This part of the performance, however, very seldom gets into p t. 'The reporter selected to do the. !occasion, out of respect to himself ail well as to others, never makes a note of that part. of the programme. I A great many „comments, fore bodings and misgivings are expressed with regard to Miss liellie'Schoice of what must be regarded as her future home. We have, however, but little faith in their sincerity; and! imagine that, when she ceases toI be the ‘‘ daughter of the nation," as she is now not infrequently call4d, these pretensions of regard and! anxious solitiittffie will be as easily , forgotten as they ;were made. MB. SALTOBIS, the young gentleman with whom she has chosen to join her happi ness and fortnnes for the future, did not make himself particularly " nu merous" during his few mouths' stay in Washington: He rarely appeared in public, and very little appears to be known' about him. liners drag nothing remarkable in his !make-up and general appearance beyond that of any young gentleman who culti vates an early mustache and wears his hair parted in the. middle. He looked to be a good-natured sort of hail fellow well met, with little or no evidence of being possessed of that characteristic egotism belonging to certain classes of his ,countrymen. That he is rich, amiable', of good dis position, " rawther " agreeable com pany, and " all that sort of thing, you know," is very generally admitted. Doubtless such are the facts—at least, for Miss Nellie's sake, we are gait° willing to believe so;_ and hope that he may continue in the convic tion that it is the better part of life to "fight it oat on that line." The latest rumor in connexion with - this " 'alf and 'alf ", affair, or perhaps we should say what may be an " 'alf and 'alf " ,affair, is, that the Queen, as a compliment to the American people, is about to confer upon the young gentleman the honor of a' title. =There has, daring the past month, but little of importance transpired in the proceedings of Monvess. The passage of the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Appropriation bills may be said to be alfopt all the legislation of interest that has been enacted. With regard to the CUBItEtiCT (4 CEETIO'N, it begins to look -as if Congress would leave it precisely where they found it in December last. The Sen ate substitute for what is generally known as the Maynard free banking bill, was reported to the House on Thursday last with several amend ments. The bill without dqabt will pass substantially as reported froni the committee; and like its prede cessor, will be vetoed tiffAhe Presi7 dent, after which the Idibrf f nesa of the time will prevent the p9ssibility of perfecting any bill that 711 meet the Executive approval. It is - generally admitted that the effect of the present bill, if itlbecame a law, would be a very large inflation of the currency, with a constant de crease of values. One of the princi pal features of the bill is the, provis ion for the redemption of greenbacks, to commence four years hence; but this, it is argued, would not Save the bank notes from depreciation, since the bill. entirely relieves the, banks from the necessity of redeeming their notes, even in our present legal-ten ders. Evidently our national legislators are at sea on the subject of ifinance, without chart, sail or compass. There is but little hope that they will agree upon any satisfactory currency bill this session; and consequently, the industries and commerce of the country, will have to make the best of it as it is. Reform and Retrench ment—sounds that are always pleas ant to the public ear- - have been the constant cry, and Beata to have over shadowed everything else. The rea son is obvions:7-Congressmen who stood in an atmosphere that savored very strongly of too much Credit Mobilier, and too much Salary grab, are expecting to return in full favor and in their original lustre and splen dor of app6aranco to an admiring constituency, on their great record of Reform. The discharge from the Departments of the government of a few hundred CLERK., one a the piincipal features of re trenchment, will doubtless save •the nation from financial destruction, and a great people from ruin. The legislators that , have crowned them selves with such legislative laurels as these, will now doubtless feel secure of a re-election, although s few hun dred clerk i had to be kicked oat of employmeat, aad their faaaWee made to oaths oiler to accomplish' & The Rotisa, with the Siszate cow canting, it widd leak his come to the coacluebai that the :mattes of leiPS' Litton before them may be folly disposed of by the tweatrfirst, aad consequently ! have fixed upea that time for The time agreed upon is somewhat earlier than was generally antici- Fated, and 'iloribta are entertained by some of the members as to whether the work will be sufficiently disposed of to permit, it; but with night ses sions, and a little lees speech-making, the adjeurnment at that time may be looked upon is certain. A ,few days of hot weather, with the arrival among us of the skirmishers, • neers, and 'the iiilvane, guard s -m the great army CI mosquitoes, with which we are soon to be surrounded,-will give a greater impetus to legtslation than anything else that can be done.

It proved a grand success, surpassing any former meetings of the association. A de tailed detachment of cadets from the Agricultural College fired a morning gun at =rise ' and a national salute at noon. ! When the eleven o'clock train ar ri'red, with ten cars, the L'ndine and Logan fire companies, headed by the State School 'Cadets, with bands of music, escorted the visitors to the Diamond, lifter which a procession, nearly a mile long, consisting of Re serves and other soldiers, the county cadets, military and fire companies, soldiers of 1812, and citizenion foot, marched • through the principal streets and then to the court house yard, where they partookt of a boun tiful repast prepared by the ladies of Bellefonte. General W..H. Blair acted as chief marshaL assisted by Colonels Weav er, Stewart, Robert AlTarland and Bayard, Majors John Wolfe ,and P. 13. Wilson, and Captains Curtin and Quiggle. AmOng, the , distinguished visitors noticeabld in the court house, when the business meeting of' the association was called to order, were Colonel John' W.

President Curtin occupied the chair. The address' of welcome delivered by . Gen. Jameei A. Beaver and a song composed for the occasion by J. W. Furey were 'vOciferously applauded. The oration of Col. H. A. M'Coyiras a moat creditable jeffort. He stated one fact not generally known, to wit: That while the Pennsylvania Reserves fired the first shot of the Army of the Potomac, the pa g of truce received from Lee at Appomattox was through the pickets of the Reserves. Speeches were made by CoL Mann, of Philadelphia, and Goy. Curtin. While they were speaking, Col. For ney, of the Phihtpelphia Press, entertained the thousands who could not get inside pith in able and elo• quent speech. Gov. Curtin was re elected president of the association, and the foll Owing additional officers were re-elected: Vice presidents, Col. W. B. Mann, 'Captain W. M'- Clelland and Colonel J. Wm.

XEMOBANDIIII OF VIEWSIFITEST ON THE SUBJECT OF DESTEIBLE L GISL.k 'TION ON . TUE FLNLECES. I believe it a high and Pis' •duty to return to a specie basis at t e ear liest practicable day, n't on com pliance with legishsti n and party ty • i pledges, but as a step indiSpe sable 'to lasting national prozenty. 1 4 32 J believe farther tha the • e has come when this can be d6ne, or at least began, with less emb ent to every branch of industryfir at any future time after a resor has been had to unstableand temporary expedients to stimulate' nn eal pros perity and speculation. o a basis other than coin of the ' e me dium of exchange t ou4ho t the commercial world. , . .. The particular mod sele ct d to bring about a restorern of a pecie standard is not of so raudh (pose quince, as that some eqciate I plan I ; be devised, the time fixed when cur rency shall be exchangeable foi. coils at par, and the plan adOpted- 'lily adhered to. It is not probabl that ligl any legislation suggested' b me would prove acceptable 'to both branches of Congress, and ind ed a fall, discussion might shake ray own faith in the details of any liin I might propose. I, however, v nture to state the general features cif the action which seems to me adviiiable. The fi nancial ' platform on! which I stand, any ' departure from which would be in the spirit r:f a c noes sion • and harmony in defers. ce to conflicting opinions. First—l would li ke tc! Bee th legal tender clause, sorcalled, repeal d, the repeal to take effect itt . is futiur time, say July Ist, 1875. Ttus wou l d cause all contracts , made a ft er tha ' to for wages, sales, &c., to be ad ' coin. would correct our no ion f dues. (1 1 The specie dollar weal be the only c t dollar knoWn as a mess e cif equiv alents. • When debts afto•rwiirdtcort-, tracted were paid -in eu.rriincy, in stead of calling the paper d liar a dollar and quoting at rune pre mium, we should think and; alc of paper as at so much discount. This alone would aid greatlyin't. • g the two currencies ne toget er at Par. ( Second—l would like to see pro- Vision that on a fixed y, 'sky July Ist, 1876, the-currency i sued hy the United •States should be redee;d in coin, on presentation to any is • tant treasurer,, and that all the 6ncy so redeemed should be eancill and never re-issued. To e ect I t "it would be necessary to tithe • the n 'e issue of bonds, payable in g?ld, to t if be put out by the Tre my in such sums as should i orn tie to time be needed for the p se of redemption. I Such legislation would insur a re turn to sound financial princi les in two years, and would, in . 03 judg ment, work less hardship; the debtor interest than is likely; come from lutting off the day I o final , reckoning. It must be bone in mind, too, that the creditor interest ad its 'day of disadvantage also wh n our present financial system was b ought in by the supreme needs; of e na tion at the time. Ii - I would further provi e t. 1.11 from and after the dates fi xed for re emp ii lit tion no bills, whether of ' tional bank or.

Indeed, I question w er it would have been found mass - ry to depart from the standard specie in the trying days which ga e birth to the first legal-tender act; the country taken the ground of .43 small bills as early as 1850. Again, I would provide an .exce of revenue over current exPenditur -: I would do this by rigid eeon3m, , and by taxation where taxation be best borne. Increased seven .S would work a constant•reduction debt and interest and provide co . to meet the demands on the for the redemption of its notes, the by diminic.hing the amount of bon'. needed for that purpo se. All tams after redemption beg ins should paid in, coin or United States no EMI fush serve This would force redemption in „N tional banks. • With measures like these, whi, would work out- such results, I, no danger in authorizing free ban ing without limit.
